Local fatal overdoses up 35% in 2020 Officials cite pandemic for ‘drastic rise’

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

With health officials warning that Virginia could see record numbers of drug overdoses in 2020, new data show that both drug overdose deaths and emergency room visits for drug overdoses have spiked in the Prince William area during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Local data for the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park, and the greater Prince William County have also indicated a drastic rise in overdoses,” said Prince William County Behavioral Health and Wellness Specialist Gabriella Delbo-Smith.

There were 62 drug overdose deaths reported in

the Prince William-area between January and June of 2020 compared with 46 during the same period in 2019 -- an increase of 35%, according to the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

There’s been an even more dramatic increase in visits to local hospital emergency rooms because of opioid overdoses, which jumped 128% between July and September 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, according to the Virginia Department of Health.

The Prince William area, while reporting a sharp uptick in fatal overdoses, fell slightly below the statewide average increase in overdose deaths of 41%.

A preliminary report of the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for the period between April and June of 2020 suggested “an enormous increase in fatal overdoses since the beginning of the COVID-19 national shutdown ... and indicated that 2020 maybe be the worst year on record by far for fatal overdoses in Virginia.”

COVID-19 vaccine arrives in Prince William

First 11,700 doses will go to ‘high risk’ health care staff

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Sentara Healthcare received its first shipment of 11,700 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine Monday morning that will be available to the health care system’s frontline workers in the coming days.

The shipment arrived at Sentara Norfolk General Hospital early Monday morning and will be distributed to the health care system’s 10 other Virginia hospitals, including Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge.

Select hospital employees will begin receiving the shots as soon as Wednesday, Sentara Vice President of Clinical Effectiveness Mary Morin said.

Prince William County police and the commonwealth’s attorney’s office have launched investigations into the Dec. 10 fatal police shooting that claimed the life of Kurtis Kay Frevert, 79, of the Four Seasons community outside Dumfries.

Frevert was shot and killed by Prince William County police sometime after 8 p.m., Dec. 10, after an encounter with officers outside his home. Frevert was armed with a handgun, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, spokesman for Prince William County police.

Five officers discharged their police-issued handguns during the shooting. All five are on paid leave pending investigations by both the police department and Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney Amy Ashworth, Perok said.

Friends, family mourn community leader lost to COVID-19

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Jamie Beletz hadn’t lived in Prince William County for long. But as soon as he and his family arrived, he jumped into community activism with both feet. In less than two years, Beletz was on the executive board of his temple, Congregation Ner Shalom, took over as chairman of the Coles District Democratic Committee, launched a countywide “voter protection committee” and organized the county’s first “Unity March Against Hate,” an effort to raise awareness of the 2017 white supremacy rally in Charlottesville that became a caravan because of the pandemic.

That’s why news of Beletz’s recent death due to COVID-19 struck such a blow, particularly with those involved in local Democratic politics.

Kara Pitek, chair of the Prince William County Dems’ Potomac District Committee and a candidate for state office, said Beletz was a “gregarious” and “larger than life” man who was a friend to many and will be sorely missed.

“Jamie was the kind of person who you could have a five-minute conversation with and feel like you’d known him your entire life,” Pitek said Monday. “He had big ideas. He just knew how to get people on his side.”

Beletz, 64, died at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center on Dec. 8, less than a week after an ambulance brought him there from the mid-county home he shared with his wife, Melody Curtiss, and their 20-year-old daughter, Sarah, the youngest of the Beletzes’ six adult children.

VACCINE, from page 1 The health care system is limiting its initial vaccine distribution to 12,500 “high-risk” employees, including staff in the emergency departments, intensive care units, COVID patient units, respiratory units and those who provide services in those areas.

In the initial shipment, there is enough for “around 94% of that first group,” Morin said.

But Morin added that Sentara will receive an additional 20,800 doses of the Moderna vaccine on Dec. 21 that will cover the remaining frontline workers and an additional 12,000 employees that make up a broader group of health care workers who work outside of the hospitals, such as those in direct patient care.

“There’s ample vaccine or all of those health care workers,” Morin said.

Both the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are “two-dose” vaccines. Pfizer requires a second vaccination shot 21 days after the first. Moderna requires a second vaccination shot after 28 days.

The COVID-19 vaccine is voluntary for Sentara employees. They are not required to receive the vaccine.

All staff will continue to wear proper personal protection equipment, including masks, and will follow Sentara’s COVID-19 protocols regardless of vaccination status.

Morin said that around 80% of Sentara Healthcare’s frontline workers said they planned to receive the vaccine when it is made available and anticipates “a high percentage of staff to take advantage of that vaccine.”

“We are very, very excited, and it means that we get to start hopefully working toward that herd immunity,

The couple also has 16 grandchildren, his wife said.

Beletz and his family moved to Prince William County from Arlington, where they lived while Beletz worked for the Department of Defense in contract management and oversight, serving for nearly two years in Afghanistan. CurJamie Beletz tiss, an attorney, is an executive director of an international nonprofit.

Curtiss said they were drawn to Prince William because of its beauty and its diversity.

“We had a checklist for what we needed to grow old and die together,” Curtiss said in a recent interview. “Prince William County checked all the boxes for us.”

Beletz was a native of Chicago of Russian Jewish heritage who grew up in Miller Beach, a neighborhood of Gary, Indiana, as well as Phoenix, Arizona. He joined the Navy during the Vietnam War and served on the USS Turner Joy, a naval destroyer. He was injured during his service and left the Navy with a 100% disability rating.

Still, he pursued his bachelor’s degree at Western Washington University and became the head of student government, Curtiss said.

“Whatever he does, wherever he is, he becomes

which will take time,” Morin said. “... This is a significant opportunity.”

Morin said that emergency medical services workers, first responders and correctional facility staff are next in line for the vaccine, according to state and federal guidelines.

The COVID-19 vaccine is not yet available to the general public. Morin said she expects that to occur in late spring or early summer of 2021.

Sentara Chief Pharmacy Officer Tim Jennings said that it was “remarkable” that a vaccine has come out so quickly “without cutting corners.”

“I can say that it’s completely unprecedented to get a drug that quickly,” Jennings said.

The initial 11,700 doses received

by Sentara are among a total of 72,150 doses arriving at health systems across Virginia on Monday and Tuesday to be administered to frontline workers.

Virginia health systems expect to receive an estimated 480,000 doses of vaccine from Pfizer and Moderna by the end of December.

In a statement, Gov. Ralph Northam said that the “initial doses of the COVID-19 vaccine are a much-needed symbol of hope for our commonwealth and our country.”

“With this remarkable medical achievement, we are beginning to see the light at the end of a long, dark tunnel,” Northam said. “Yet even in this moment of celebration, we must remember that this is the first step in a months-long process to receive, distribute, and administer the vaccine as it becomes available. I ask everyone to stay vigilant, take care of each other, and continue following the public health guidelines as we work to vaccinate Virginians in a safe, efficient, equitable manner.”

a community leader,” Curtiss said. “He was a political consultant for most of his life. He ran political campaigns all over the country.”

And that’s exactly what Beletz did when he arrived in Prince William County, said David Pala, former executive director of the Prince William County Democratic Committee and now a political consultant. He and Beletz were about to become business partners before Beletz fell ill with COVID-19, Pala said.

“He gave me a call before he even moved here, asking how [they] could get involved in the Democratic Committee in Prince William County,” Pala said. “He hit the ground running.”

Pala connected him with several first-time local candidates, including Raheel Sheikh, who ran unsuccessfully for Coles District supervisor, losing to Supervisor Yesli Vega, as well as Occoquan District Supervisor Kenny Boddye, Del. Hala Ayala, D-51st, and Coles District School Board Representative Lisa Zargarpur. Before the pandemic, the Beletzes’ home became a hub for campaign launches and candidate visits. They hosted Sen. Amy Klobuchar when she visited Prince William County in 2019 when she ran for president.

In 2020, Beletz expanded the county committee’s voter registration and absentee voter push and helped lead postcard-writing campaigns. The membership of the Coles District Democratic Committee nearly doubled under his leadership, Pala said.

King, Mitchell vie to fill state House seat

King wins Dem primary for Jan. 5 contest

By Jill Palermo

Times Staff Writer

Candi King came out on top of a quick-turnaround, five-candidate primary Sunday, Dec. 13, to win the Democratic nomination in the Jan. 5 special election for the 2nd District House of Delegates seat being vacated by Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, who is vying for the party’s nod to run for Virginia governor.

King, 38, garnered 380 of 867 votes cast in the drive-thru caucus, which was held at Freedom High

School in Woodbridge and the Courthouse Community Center in Stafford.

King is a program assistant with the Washington office of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the mother of three children, ages 8, 10 and 17.

King will face Republican Heather Mitchell in the Jan. 5 special election.

Mitchell was a senior aide to former Prince William Board of County Supervisors chairman Corey Stewart.

In a statement, Mitchell said her time serving in that position provided her with “incomparable knowledge of the

transportation, education and financial needs of our region.”

Mitchell ran and lost against Foy in 2019 in the race for the 2nd District, losing by 22 points.

If elected, King said she’d focus on helping Virginia recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, which has hit

eastern Woodbridge particularly hard.

King is a native of Portsmouth, Virginia, and has lived with her family in the Swans Creek subdivision for 11 years.

“I think COVID has made it clear that we need to look at paid sick leave,” King said, adding that unemployment and rising homelessness are also concerns she believes Virginia lawmakers will need to contend with, possibly without the help of more federal aid.

Mitchell is a mother of three and the spouse of an active duty Marine.

If elected, she said she’ll focus on supporting law-enforcement officers, frontline workers and small businesses.

Police: ‘Immediate need’ to expand mental health unit

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County police officials are already hoping to double the size of the department’s “co-responder” pilot program, a new effort that pairs mental health clinicians and local police officers to respond to mental health emergencies, to react to a growing number of such calls in the county.

The “co-responder” program is designed to help de-escalate situations involving 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, mental health clinicians who accompany police officers wear white polo shirts that identify them as “co-responder clinicians.”

The program began with one mental health specialist and one police officer trained in crisis intervention in 2019 and was expanded earlier this year by the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. Two new co-responder units began serving in the county on Dec. 7.

But already, police officials say there is a need for additional units to

OVERDOSES, from page 1 The report, released in October, estimated that there would be 2,053 deaths from drug overdoses in Virginia this year. The highest number of overdose deaths recorded in a single previous year in Virginia is 1,626. The report said opioids, and fentanyl in particular, would likely account for most of those deaths.

While there is no data showing a clear cause for the increase in overdoses in Virginia, local health officials and community service workers believe stress caused by the pandemic coupled with a slow-down in the availability of resources for those struggling with addiction are driving the uptick in both local overdose deaths and emergency room visits.

Katrina King, a senior community coordinator at Prince William-Manassas jail who helps connect people entering the jail with counseling and treatment resources, said the pandemic has created a “perfect storm” for those struggling with addiction.

King said that, on top of rampant unemployment, treatment and counseling resources have been heavily impacted by the nationwide shutdown. She said bed capacity at rehabilitation facilities was reduced to allow for more social distancing; Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous meetings have gone virtual; and the county’s community services board, a critical resource for those struggling with addiction, switched to telehealth.

“We were having doctors going to exclusively telemedicine. We have places shutting down that are not doing the counseling. We have treatment resources that are not available,” King said. “... You talk about just the combination of things coming together. And on top of that, you have increased unemployment and people aren’t working.”

King said that “what is even more alarming” is the many “new faces, new users and young people” being referred to substance abuse counselors in the county.

“We need to think about what we can do to get ahead of this and stop the bleeding now,” King said.

Heather Martinsen, Prince William County Community Services behavioral health and wellness supervisor, said last week that “chronic stress” and “economic stress” could be contributing to rising drug use both locally and across the region.

“The acuity and the severity of what people are experiencing with mental health and substance use issues has increased,” Martinsen said. “It goes back to some of the basics.

People who have food insecurity and rent insecurity are struggling more than ever. And so, their mental well-being is also struggling.”

Martinsen said the county’s community service providers, in addition to providing telehealth counseling, are recommending families and friends to check on their loved ones who may be struggling with addiction because, in many cases, people decide to seek help as a last resort, or when it’s too late.

The county has also been proactive in providing NARCAN nasal spray, a life-saving drug that can help reverse opioid overdoses, to people and families as a precaution, as well as the necessary training to administer the drug.

“If people are in crisis, or feeling hopeless, a lot of times they don’t want to reach out,” Martinsen said. “We’re encouraging families and friends to check on their people and if they’re seeing warning signs to get trained with the NARCAN and keep that on hand.”

sponder” program during budget negotiations earlier this year with funding for the three mental health specialists, three crisis trained officers and two program supervisors.

Right now, the program is only in service Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 10 p.m., but the county and police department have said they would like to expand the program to provide 24/7 service, which could require up to 11 “co-responder” teams and a sizable financial investment.

Phelps said more data is needed to determine exactly how many units would be needed to staff the program around the clock.

“We need more data to determine what the appropriate distribution of staff would be at certain times,” Phelps said. “That’s something we’re going to be looking for. But we already know this resource needs more therapists and it needs more officers to be able to provide for our community.”

The Prince William Board of County Supervisors did not weigh in on the issue during the work session.

The board will begin its annual budget cycle in early 2021.

SHOOTING, from page 1 Police were called to Frevert’s residence, in the 3600 block of Secret Grove Court, about 7:15 p.m. after a family member reported that he was armed and making concerning statements, Perok said.

Four Seasons is a 55+ “active adult” retirement community off Va. 234 outside Dumfries.

Ashworth’s incident review team, which includes herself, Chief Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Kristina Robinson and another deputy commonwealth’s attorney, will review all police-worn body camera footage as well as all evidence collected and interviews conducted by police in the wake of the shooting.

The team will conduct follow-ups “as necessary,” according to a Dec. 11 statement from Ashworth’s office.

The timeline for the review is not yet known, the statement said.

Reviews of police-involved shootings by the Prince William County commonwealth’s attorney’s office are routine and also occurred under Ashworth’s predecessor, former commonwealth’s attorney Paul Ebert.

Meanwhile, acting Prince William Police Chief Jarad Phelps issued a video announcement Friday, Dec. 11, promising “a complete and comprehensive investigation of the facts so an unbiased, independent decision can be made concerning the officers’ actions.”

“This process is already under way, but it will take time.

The integrity of the investigation is paramount. I realize the community has questions and once we are able to release more information, we will do so,” Phelps added. “I’m asking for your patience and your understanding until all facts are known.”

Phelps also called the fatal shooting “heartbreaking” and asked the community to keep the victim’s family, as well as the public safety officers involved, in their thoughts and prayers.

About an hour before the shooting, Frevert made “concerning statements” to his wife and left their home on foot, walking toward a nearby wooded area. He was spotted by a police helicopter and eventually encountered the police officers while returning to his home, Perok said in a statement.

It’s not yet clear whether the man fired his gun at the police officers during the encounter, Perok said.

Frevert was transported to a nearby hospital and died of his injuries, Perok said.

Prince William Times | December 16, 2020

GUEST OPINION

As COVID-19 spikes, where is our empathy for teachers and staff?

On Monday, Dec. 14, I woke up to an email box full from teachers, bus drivers and staff members not just asking but begging Superintendent Steven Walts and his pandemic team to relook at their plans for in-person learning in light of the staggering numbers of COVID-19 infections in our county. Prince William County is the “hot spot” for infections in Northern Virginia. Despite this, there has been no public statement to reconsider in-person learning as there has been in neighboring districts.

Nearby counties returned to virtual or are at least reconsidering plans based on set metrics.

Dr. Walts has not stated his standard for in-person instruction.

He has indicated a “I will look at it” policy. The students, parents and staff deserve more.

When Dr. Walts initially presented his return-to-school plan last summer, I stated that his PowerPoints were “powerless” because there was no “empathy for teachers” slide in the deck.

Presentations in the board room continue to be lacking, each telling us how great things are. I am receiving emails and phone calls from teachers and bus drivers and others, many on the same evening, saying: “Don’t believe them. We are not all right!” Leaders are saying the opposite, that everything is wonderful, many of them from their “Zoom rooms.”

Other counties are doing more with their staffs in mind. Some, like Stafford, Spotsylvania and Fredericksburg are even giving bonuses to all of their employees, including part-time workers.

We, on the other hand, may have teachers and staff in quarantine during the holiday break because of possible exposure. Something about this breaks my heart.

For those who think that I do not care about students or learning, I disagree and would point to my record. But I also recognize a lot of parents do not feel they are being heard as they fight for their students. Let me be clear, I am aware their students are, in fact, struggling. When the school board started this process, we said vulnerable students should return for in-person instruction. I have requested the superintendent and his staff develop a method, an appeal process for lack of better words, for parents who believe their children are not getting what they need in this virtual environment. I stand by that position.

LILLIE JESSIE SCHOOL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE

Safety is the first priority, however. We had 157 staff members sick as of the last school board meeting. I do not have a count for this week but was told today by the superintendent’s deputy they will respond in January 2021. Last week, I had to fight to get a N-95 mask for a Tier 1 staff member deemed at high risk because the $100 cost was deemed too much.

Many of our staff members have shared their fears of retaliation with me. They lack the courage to speak publicly. I am called and emailed because some see me as the only advocate. I am not. There are others on the board, but they say we gave the superintendent the authority and must allow that to play out. I, too, was supportive of that position, but the science has changed, and I want to see him changing with it as he has in the past.

I do not see him sharing a plan for responding other than mitigation strategies, which have not been monitored system-wide.

Nor are the number of staff and students quarantined being monitored, according to the report given at the last board meeting.

I have asked the superintendent to “err on the side of caution.” I am not advocating closing school this week but would support that decision if the metrics tells us to do so.

Most importantly, we must revisit our decision to bring more students back for in-school learning January. We need to remain virtual until we garner all the facts based on anticipated surges in the virus immediately following the holidays.

Teachers who complained are often referred to as “fearful teachers.”

They are in fact people who love this county. I have received emails from 17-year veteran teachers, all saying, “I Iove my job.” Many feel guilty about being afraid. We need to show them that we not only appreciate them but will take care of them.

Many want to quit but cannot afford to. Let’s not put them in that situation. They should go home during the holiday break knowing we will not only will ensure learning for students but safety for them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Open letter to Rep. Rob Wittman: ‘You disgraced your district’ Congressman Rob Wittman, you disgraced your district and your country by your decision to place politics ahead of country when you joined with other members of the Republican Party to support the failed Texas lawsuit seeking to overturn the Biden/Harris presidential election results and Democracy itself.

You disgraced yourself, your district, and your country when you demonstrated through your support that you are not a leader but a follower. Anyone with common sense would know that the frivolous Texas lawsuit would fail on all counts and why you chose to be forever associated with it escapes me. Perhaps you feared Republican Party retribution and thought you were making the right political statement to pacify them, but you were wrong!

The only statement you made was you don’t support our country’s long-standing democratic principles and history and you personally have no backbone.

As an independent voter in District 1, I am embarrassed that you chose to represent Virginia District 1 in such a reckless and callous manner. As my elected congressional representative, your most important singular job is to represent me, your constituents, your district, your state, and your country and you failed.

Therefore, you leave me only one clear choice and that’s to fire you and work toward politically and financially defeating you in the upcoming mid-term elections.

Is there a better way to fight racism?

According to a Virginia Military Institute directive, the process of relocating the Stonewall Jackson statue from in front of barracks to the Virginia Museum of the Civil War and New Market Battlefield State Historical Park took place last week.

In recent months, monuments and statues have been damaged or removed. I can’t help but wonder if their aren’t better ways to fight racism. No one really knows what anyone is thinking when they view a statue or monument. For some, it IS a painful memory that needs to be removed. Perhaps we shouldn’t let the pendulum swing to extremes of judgment, assuming we each think we know what the other one is thinking and feeling when we see statues of eras that brought

about the uniting of states at a painful cost.

Many cultures have sordid pasts like the Incas and Mayan sacrifices done out of religious and political reasons. For some, visual reminders are better teachers, as it is proven that images are the simplest and the most effective way to make sure information gets stored as a long-term memory. We then are moved to the next step of change and, as they say, to not repeat history. We are deeply saddened by our past history of slavery. Whether its remembered through a text or a statue, what matters is that we are brought back to the dignity of human life and to treat each other with respect going forward.

A pottery-painting playground

Prince William Times | December 16, 2020

“There’s a quote that goes along the lines of, ‘If you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.’ And that’s true.

I’ve always looked forward to getting things done, teaching classes, finishing artwork, and I love seeing what people create as I teach them.”

Mom-and-daughter team aim to help families ease pandemic stress with art

By Aileen M. Streng Times Staff Writer

To encourage people to get their creative juices flowing and maybe relieve some of that pandemic stress, Val Christy and her daughter Kate have opened Pottery Playground in Woodbridge.

“We’re all creative beings. Art is meditative and healing,” Val Christy said in a recent interview. “The art forms we offer can be done by anyone; no previous experience required.

“Kids are natural with art. They dive in, fearless,” she added. “Adults can be skittish, but when they see how easy it is – modern specialty glazes on pottery, for example, make everyone look like artists.”

“We want to help people escape their stresses and leave their worries at the door for the hour or two they spend with us,” said Kate Christy.

Pottery Playground is located at 14007 Noblewood Plaza, in the same Woodbridge shopping center as BJ’s Wholesale Club. It offers pottery painting and fused glass and will soon have mosaics and canvas painting. Classes will begin soon for adults and kids.

Guests can create in-studio or at home with “art to-go” kits. The kits include the project, paints, brushes, palette and instructions. When completed, just bring everything back and the project will be fired in the kiln.

“We foresee art to-go as being a vital resource for area families in the next few months,” Val Christy said.

Tracy and Phil Greer and their three children love the to-go kits because they work for their family.

They have an adult daughter with a disability, a teenage daughter and a 7-year-old son who all work at different paces.

“We would never have been able to accomplish what we’ve accomplished unless we had done it at home,” Tracy Greer said. “We were able to do a nice family activity with everyone being happy.”

They each have completed projects that include a lighted gnome tree, a fair lantern and a cactus tree.

They recently dropped them off for firing and also picked up some more projects for painting.

“This definitely has been so good for us,” she said.

Val Christy has had a mobile fired arts studio since 2005. She started at Minnieland and Kindercare day care centers in the area then also began serving public and private schools in Fairfax County and Alexandria, focusing on enrichment classes and camps for kids.

Kate Christy, 21, began tagging along with her mother when she was 5.

“She enjoyed it as a little one and would play with the kids and help me set up. It could be a wonderful ice-breaker and made the kids relax, especially in a school setting where they had to be on their best behavior,” Val Christy said.

“It was a win-win. I got to spend more time with my baby, and she was able to learn and have fun.”

“There’s a quote that goes along the lines of, ‘If you do something you love, you’ll never work a day in your life.’ And that’s true. I’ve always looked forward to getting things done, teaching classes, finishing artwork, and I love seeing what people create as I teach them,” Kate Christy said.

“I’ve been doing this since I was 5, so I know my way around a paintbrush. Working with my mom has been like working with my best friend, even though we don’t always agree,” she added. “We’ve found a way to balance our differences, so our clients can benefit from it.”

“Kate is very creative, so it’s been a natural fit,” her mom said. “She’s the best partner I could ever have.”

Val Christy said opening a studio has been a long-term goal of hers and she thinks there is a need in the area. While Manassas has some clay/ pottery places and Woodbridge has a paint and sip canvas painting place, there aren’t many places that cater to families and children, she said.

“We want to fill the art vacuum in Woodbridge, Dale City, Triangle, Montclair areas and be the resource families turn to for good clean fun,” Val Christy said.

Val has lived in Woodbridge for more than 30 years. Getting the studio opened proved harder than they expected.

“Believe it or not, we received final county approvals the same week the national state of emergency was announced,” Val Christy said. “We went from exaltation and eagerness to shock and confusion as we had no idea what any of it meant. Was the lockdown going to last a week, two weeks, a month? We definitely never expected the absolute horror show that has evolved since.”

Ordering supplies, furniture and inventory took longer that it would have before the pandemic. Summer camp season was out.

“The new normal has cost us valuable time, contacts and revenue,” Val Christy said. “Opening a small business is always challenging, but doing it in a pandemic is a bit crazy.”

They finally opened in October.

Pottery Playground follows state and federal COVID-19 guidelines such as mask-wearing, providing plenty of hand sanitizers and spread-

“We clean and disinfect throughout the day, especially items that have been touched,” Kate Christy said. “We offer both walk-in service and by appointment.”

“We want to reach everyone,” she added. “Whether you’re 2 or 92, we want to inspire you to create magic.”

“Pottery painting is always popular. When they see how easy it is to make a glass dish, they want to try.

Fused glass is super easy and gives you perfect results.” Kate Christy said. “Kids and adults can easily design a glass plate. They always marvel at the sparkling piece that looks like it came out of a department store.”

“Anyone with a creative itch can walk in and make a beautiful piece of art,” Val Christy said. “You don’t have to be an artist and you don’t need previous experience.”

Pottery Playground is open from noon to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday and noon to 7 p.m. Friday through Sunday. For more information, visit www.pottery-playground.com.

BELETZ, from page 2 Beletz had “an outsized impact” in the local committee, Pala said.

“He was always willing to step up and do more to fill in the gaps. He always paid more than his fair share and did more than his fair share.”

Pala called Beletz’s death “a huge loss” for both the local committee and for him personally. Pala said Beletz was his best friend. Pala said Beletz’s death came as a shock because he expected Beletz would recover. Beletz called Pala from the hospital but usually talked of the other patients and not so much about himself. He was especially concerned that so many people of color were suffering from COVID, Pala said.

Legal Notice

Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | December 16, 2020

“He said somebody needs to tell the story of all these people who have been disproportionately affected because of the work they do,” Pala said. “Even in the hospital, he was worried about other people.”

Beletz began suffering symptoms of COVID-19 the week before Thanksgiving. By the holiday, both Curtiss and their daughter were also showing symptoms. Sarah’s illness was mild, like an intestinal flu. Curtiss said she lost her sense of taste and smell. They still have no idea where they caught the virus. Beletz had it the worst.

“He wasn’t struggling to breathe but he felt like he wasn’t getting enough air,” Curtiss said.

They got an oximeter and were monitoring their oxygen levels.

When Beletz’s fell to about 80% and didn’t come back up, they decided it was time for him to go to the hospital. Still suffering herself from COVID, Curtiss said she was too sick to take him. He called 911.

“He didn’t want to go because he didn’t feel like he would come back,” Curtiss said.

The worst thing was not being able to go with him, she said. They spoke by phone as much as possible.

“He was pretty stable until the last day, an then he went downhill,” she said. “It’s such a scary, horrible thing. And the worst thing is … not being able to be there to advocate for your loved ones. … They moved him to the ICU and he was dead within an hour.”

Curtiss said she’s convinced she “cried the COVID out of [her] system” the day her husband died. In the days since his death, the community rallied around them, arranging for a “meal train” and helping with his Zoom funeral, which was Sunday. More than 100 logged on.

Curtiss said she knows she and her family will be forever changed by the pandemic and her husband’s loss.

And they know they’re not alone.

“I’m never going to recover from COVID,” she said. “There are hundreds of thousands of people who are never going to recover from COVID because of what it’s done to our lives.”

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF A FILING ALLOCATING RPS COSTS TO CERTAIN CUSTOMERS BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY D/B/A DOMINION ENERGY VIRGINIA CASE NO. PUR-2020-00164

•Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Energy Virginia (“Dominion”) file a proposed tariff, designated Rider NBC, by which an allocation of its costs of compliance with Code §§ 56-585.5 and 56-585.1:11, net of benefits, would be recovered from retail customers within its service territory that elect to receive electric supply from a supplier of electric energy other than Dominion.

•As proposed, Rider NBC applies to any customer who is eligible for and elects to purchase electricity supply service from a competitive service provider in accordance with Code § 56-577 A, or who is eligible for and elects to purchase electricity supply service under any approved, applicable tariff rate schedule for market based rates.

•Dominion’s projected compliance costs, offset by the projected benefits, results in a total revenue requirement credit for Rider NBC of $20,031 for the rate year beginning January 1, 2021, and ending December 31, 2021.

•Due to the ongoing public health emergency related to the spread of the coronavirus, or COVID-19, the State Corporation Commission will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on March 26, 2021, for the receipt of public witness testimony.

•An evidentiary hearing will be held remotely on March 29, 2021, via Microsoft Teams, for the receipt of evidence of Dominion, respondents and Commission Staff.

•Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information.

During its 2020 Session, the Virginia General Assembly enacted Chapters 1193 (HB 1526) and 1194 (SB 851) of the 2020 Virginia Acts of Assembly. These duplicate Acts of Assembly, known as the Virginia Clean Economy Act (“VCEA”), became effective on July 1, 2020. The VCEA, inter alia, establishes mandatory renewable energy portfolio standards (“RPS”) for Virginia Electric and Power Company (“Dominion” or “Company”) in new § 56-585.5 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”).

Code § 56-585.5 F provides that the costs of compliance with Code §§ 56-585.5 and 56-585.1:11 “shall be recovered from all retail customers in the service territory of [Dominion] as a non bypassable charge, irrespective of the generation supplier of such customer….” The statute establishes several exemptions from this non-bypassable charge, including exemptions for accelerated renewable energy buyers, Percentage of Income Payment Program eligible utility customers, advanced clean energy buyers, and qualifying large general service customers, all as described in the legislation.

Code § 56-585.5 F directs the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) to establish a proceeding for Dominion by September 1, 2020, to determine the amount of the costs of compliance with Code §§ 56-585.5 and 56-585.1:11, net of benefits, to be allocated to retail customers within the Dominion’s service territory receiving electric supply service from non-utility suppliers. The statute requires that tariff provisions recovering these costs from such customers be implemented not later than January 1, 2021, and that such tariffs be updated and trued up on an annual basis.

The Commission issued an Order Establishing Proceeding in this case on August 31, 2020 (“August 31, 2020 Order”). In its August 31, 2020 Order, the Commission docketed the matter and directed Dominion to file a proposed tariff, together with supporting information and documentation, by which an allocation of its costs of compliance with Code §§ 56-585.5 and 56-585.1:11, net of benefits, would be recovered from retail customers within its service territory that elect to receive electric supply from a supplier of electric energy other than Dominion (“RPS Cost Allocation Filing” or “Filing”).

Dominion submitted its RPS Cost Allocation Filing on October 5, 2020. In its Filing, the Company seeks approval of a rate adjustment clause, designated Rider NBC, for recovery of the cost of compliance with Code §§ 56-585.5 and 56-585.1:11, net of benefits.

The Company states it has designed Rider NBC, for this initial proposal, to be applicable only to any customer who is eligible for and elects to purchase electricity supply service from a competitive service provider in accordance with Code § 56-577 A, or who is eligible for and elects to purchase electricity supply service under any approved, applicable tariff rate schedule for market based rates (collectively, “Rider NBC Customers”).

According to Dominion, the RPS related costs to be recovered from Rider NBC Customers as a non-bypassable charge include costs for offshore wind subject to Code § 56-585.1:11, as well as (i) costs of generation facilities powered by sunlight or onshore or offshore wind, or energy storage facilities, that are constructed or acquired after July 1, 2020, (ii) costs of capacity, energy, or environmental attributes from generation facilities powered by sunlight or onshore or offshore wind, or falling water, or energy storage facilities purchased by the utility from persons other than the utility through agreements after July 1, 2020, and (iii) all other costs of compliance, including costs associated with the purchase of renewable energy credits associated with RPS requirements. The Company states that these costs will be netted against any fuel, capacity and ancillary benefits associated with the purchase or construction of renewable energy in accordance with the requirements of Code § 56-585.5 F. The Company states that it anticipates that a significant component of the costs that shall be non-bypassable will be the subject of separate riders whose charges are allocated to all of the Company’s retail generation customers. Dominion proposes that where non-bypassable projects have their own stand-alone rider, the rider rate will be calculated with Rider NBC Customers included within the applicable rate class. Rider NBC Customers will receive charges on their bill for these riders just like all other customers in the Company’s retail classes. The Company seeks to have the revenue requirements and rates in those respective rider proceedings and rate changes take effect in their own respective rate years. Therefore, Rider NBC would be reserved for those costs and benefits where a stand-alone rider does not exist.

In this proceeding, Dominion asks the Commission to approve Rider NBC for the initial rate year beginning January 1, 2021, and ending December 31, 2021 (“Rate Year”). For the Rate Year, the Company includes projected costs totaling $420,822 on a system basis from a new 12.5 megawatt Rivanna solar power purchase agreement (“PPA”). The Company also projects $764,696 of benefits for the Rate Year on a system basis, which represents estimated 2021 fuel benefits from the Rivanna solar PPA and the Grassfield solar project. While the costs of the Rivanna solar PPA are included in Rider NBC, Dominion proposes to recover the costs of the Grassfield solar project in a separate rider, designated Rider CE. Together, the costs and benefits included in Rider NBC yield a net benefit of $343,873 on a system basis, and a net benefit of $271,038 on a Virginia jurisdictional basis. This results in a total revenue requirement for Rider NBC of ($20,031) for the Rate Year. Pursuant to Code § 56 585.5 F, the Company states that it intends to update and true-up Rider NBC on an annual basis, subject to continuing review and approval by the Commission.

To collect the total revenue requirement of ($20,031) for the Rate Year, Dominion proposes an initial rate of $0.000000/kilowatt-hour (‘’kWh’’) for the period January 1, 2021, through May 31, 2021, and a rate of -$0.000005/kWh for the period June 1, 2021, through December 31, 2021. The Company proposes this split in the cost recovery for the Rate Year because, as is described above, the costs and benefits used to develop the revenue requirement for Rider NBC relate to the Rivanna solar PPA and the Grassfield solar project. The Rivanna solar PPA has a proposed commercial operation date in June 2021 and the Grassfield solar project (which is the subject of Rider CE) has a projected effective date of June 1, 2021. Accordingly, the Company states that it would be reasonable to begin the cost recovery related to these facilities at the same time, beginning on June 1, 2021.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Filing and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals.

TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Filing and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Filing and supporting documents.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding that, among other things, permitted Dominion to put the following rates into effect on an interim basis through the periods set forth below or until the Commission issues its Final Order in this proceeding, whichever comes first.

Jan. 1, 2012-May 31, 2021

Masks ‘strongly encouraged’ but not required in basketball VHSL pulls back after saying face coverings were mandatory

By Peter Brewington and Noah Fleischman Times Staff Writers

In a reversal of course, the Virginia High School League on Monday rescinded its recent requirement that face coverings be worn during training and competition in most sports.

The VHSL is “strongly encouraging” athletes to wear masks, but it’s not a requirement.

The VHSL enacted the mask mandate on Dec. 10 after Gov. Ralph Northam announced stricter mask-wearing rules. Wrestling, swimming, cheerleading and gymnastics were exempt to the regulation, but basketball figured to change dramatically.

Coaches and students at Unity Reed High were diligent regarding the VHSL mask mandate during the three or four days it lasted.

“I immediately thought, ‘These kids are going to struggle to breath,’ but with the increase in water breaks I could see them manage better than I expected,” said Unity Reed activities director Kevin Turner.

Turner said athletes didn’t keep masks completely pulled up “due to their sweat, but with constant reminders from our coaches and our athletic trainer I was pleased with the rate of compliance,” he said.

Thinking they’d help with fitness, Osbourn High boys basketball coach Rocky Carter made masks mandatory in workouts even before the VHSL installed the requirement.

Now that the VHSL has changed course on masks, it will be up to schools to decide their policy on wearing them in games and practices. They’re not required, but strongly encouraged.

“We wanted to get them used to it [wearing masks],” Carter said. “I decided we were going to have the masks on because that will help us in getting conditioned. We weren’t able to get them in shape in the preseason like we wanted to because we weren’t allowed inside.”

With basketball games beginning next week in Prince William County, it’s unclear how many schools will wear them in games or practices.

The VHSL enacted the mask mandate on Dec. 10 in response to the governor’s concerns, only to pull back and clarify their position on Dec. 14. Now the VHSL is saying mask-wearing does not apply to “individuals exercising or using exercise equipment.”

“The VHSL apologizes for any confusion created by its original release,” said VHSL Executive Director Billy Haun. “We ask the public to understand that it is the first mission of VHSL to make sure that athletics are conducted in a safe and healthy environment, and

‘I could see them manage better than I expected.”

-UNITY REED ACTIVITIES DIRECTOR KEVIN TURNER ON WATCHING HIS BASKETBALL PLAYERS PRACTICE WITH MASKS ON

it was that desire that motivated the original decision.”

Osbourn senior guard Manny Ojo said wearing a mask in practice hasn’t been easy.

“At first, I’m not going to lie, I hated it with a passion,” Ojo said. “I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to be able to do this, I can’t breathe.’ But I feel like it’s going to be easier because we do condition a lot and I feel it’s going to make us much more mentally stronger and physically stronger.”

Colgan girls basketball coach Fred Milbert said one of his players has worn a mask from the first day of practice and hasn’t noticed a major difference in her play.

“She wore it when we ran bleachers, she wore it when we ran the track,” Milbert said. “It didn’t seem to impact her, she still seemed to make her times and meet her goals.”

Potomac boys basketball coach Keith Honore said having players wear masks presents new challenges.

“They’re asking us to be health officials,” Honore said. “Basketball is what I’m doing the least of now.

Instead of trying to find ways to get us better defensively, I now have to find ways to get us in shape, be better defensively and not put our kids at a health risk.”

Honore says he can’t push his players as hard in a mask: “I can’t have a kid go out and run 10 sprints with a mask on, it doesn’t make sense.”

Betty June was born in Miami, Florida and lived in beautiful Coral Gables with her father, Dr. Herman Walter Cook, her mother, Vivian Turner Cook, and her little brother, Buck. As a child she loved animals and always brought home strays. She also had two pet ducks.

Betty attended Ponce de Leon High then went on to college at the University of Miami. She was a founding member of the Delta Gamma sorority, Beta Tau chapter and sweetheart to the fraternity Sigma Alpha Epsilon. She was also a princess of the Orange Bowl float and Miss University of Miami.

Betty later became an airline stewardess on Peninsula Airline and met up with the handsome Captain Archibald Cary Randolph IV, who was the chief pilot. Soon after, they eloped and married in Reno, Nevada.

Betty then moved with Arch to Virginia, where they began their lives together, from the sunny palms of Coral Gables to the shady oaks of Grafton Hall in Upperville, home of the late Col. Richard Henry Dulany, Arch’s great-grandfather and founder of the Upperville Colt and Horse Show and the Piedmont Fox Hounds. It was here at Grafton Farm that Betty learned to ride, and she named her horse “the beast”!

After settling down in Upperville, Betty and her family became lifelong members of Trinity Church.

Betty June had many interests. She was a master marksman and won many championship trophies as 1st marksman and NRA sharpshooter.

Betty was a long-time member of the Middleburg Tennis Club, where she was well known for her infamous lob. She also enjoyed gourmet cooking, skiing, poker, and parties.

Rudolph Hiner Shiflett Rudolph Hiner Shiflett, 86, of Warrenton, VA passed away peacefully at his home on December 5, 2020. Rudolph was born February 9, 1934 as the youngest son to Weldon and Elizabeth Shiflett of New Hope, Va. Rudolph met the love of his life, Bettie Ann Dooms while he was enrolled at Woodrow Wilson Technical School in Fishersville, Va. She was a high school senior and he was driving her school bus. They married October 1956, two months before he was drafted into the United States Army. He was stationed in the Tidewater area at the Nike Guided Missile Division which guarded the United States Navel Bases.

Upon discharge he was employed as a salesman for the local John Deere dealer in Staunton, Va. Being raised on a farm and a farmer at heart he accepted a job of herdsman with Fleetwood Farms in Delaplane VA. In the spring of 1968 the family relocated to Warrenton where Rudolph managed the car wash for the Ford dealership. That task grew as additional units were acquired in Luray and Waynesboro. Arthritis forced him to leave the car wash business and become a carpenter. He worked locally for Legg Construction and J.D. Eicher Builders. Upon retirement he stayed active in the carpentry business working independently with Kermit Cubbage.

Rudolph is survived by wife Bettie, and sons John (Patti) Warrenton, and Tim (Sabrina) Bridgewater Va. He is also survived by granddaughter Amy (Eric) Zitzmann, Bristow, Va, grandsons Luke and Reed Shiflett, Bridgewater Va. and great-granddaughter Elizabeth Jeanne Zitzmann. He is also survived by a cousin that he and Bettie helped raise, James Dooms, Waynesboro, Va. along with a number of nieces and nephews.

In addition to his parents, Rudolph was pre deceased by his brothers Robert and Armstrong.

Rudolph is a member of Our Saviour Lutheran Church, Warrenton where he served on council, property committee and as an usher. He is a member of the Warrenton Ruritan Club with 44 years of perfect attendance.

Rudolph’s greatest joy was saddling his horse and taking a ride to view God’s handiwork. God gave Rudolph two beautiful sparkling green eyes that could fill with mischief in a moment’s notice.
