Task force recommends fixes for old schools By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
mance tour in the Deep South in 1962 accompanied by his white, wise-cracking, Bronx-born Italian-American driver, Tony “Lip” Vallelonga. The two used the real-life Green Book, subtitled “The Negro Traveler’s Guide to Travel and Vacations,” to find restaurants, lodgings and businesses that served African-Americans.
They’ll never get indoor swimming pools or floor-to-ceiling windows. But making Prince William’s oldest middle and high schools more “equitable” with the county’s latest models is possible but would come with a hefty price tag. That was the message Don Richardson delivered to the school board earlier this month after wrapping up two years of work as head of the school division’s “infrastructure task force.” The school board assembled the group in 2016 in response to parents and community members who noted significant differences between the county’s older and newer schools, -such as Patriot High School, which was built in 2011, and Colgan, which opened in 2016 -- and those built 40 years ago or more. The school board tasked the group with assessing how the older schools fell short of the county’s current facilities standards. The group was also asked to prioritize upgrades that might make older schools more conducive to learning and teaching. Richardson is a former school board member who represented the Gainesville District. The group spent the first year assessing the county’s 60 elementary schools. This past year, they toured the county’s older middle and high schools, 14 of which were built between 1963 and 1981. Richardson delivered the group’s recommendations to the school board Dec. 12. The group gave the highest-priority rankings to safety and security improvements, followed by those that would “enhance instructional performance” for the most students, Richardson said. Accordingly, their top recommendation was to complete safety and security improvements to the schools within the next two years. Due to concerns about making sensitive specifics public, the recommended

Supervisor John Jenkins hospitalized with ‘severe pneumonia’ Prince William County’s longest serving supervisor is battling “severe pneumonia” at Inova Fairfax Hospital, according to a statement released by his family Dec. 18. Supervisor John Jenkins, a Democrat representing the Neabsco District, has been absent from meetings of the county board since Oct. 31, when he underwent total knee replacement surgery on his left knee. Jenkins, 79, experienced “post-operative complications” and remained in the hospital until he was subsequently moved to a local health and rehabilitation center, where he began “sub-acute rehabilitation for his knee,” according to the statement. While at the rehabilitation center, Jenkins developed pneumonia and was recently transported to Inova Fairfax Hospital “where he remains at this time to aggressively treat his illness,” the statement said. Potomac Local, an online news outlet, was the first to report Dec. 17 that Jenkins was suffering from pneumonia and had been admitted to the intensive
care unit. The statement did not say Jenkins was in intensive care, but only that he remains hospitalized. Prince William County spokesman Jason Grant said Dec. 17 he had no information to share about Jenkin’s condition except that he was recovering from knee surgery and had suffered complications. Grant released the statement Dec. 18 via email at the request of Jenkin’s family, the statement said. Attempts to reach Ernestine Jenkins, the supervisor’s wife and the longtime leader in the Dale City Civics Association, were not successful. The statement was released out of an “outpouring of concern” about Jenkin’s condition, the statement said. “Our family is truly grateful for the care, support and kindness of the medical staff and caregivers and for the outpouring of prayers and concern from all of our many family members, friends and thousands of supporters who know and love him,” it continued.

GoFundMe page set up for Occoquan man killed in plane crash Staff Reports An Occoquan man killed in an ultralight-plane crash outside Shannon Airport in Spotsylvania County Friday left behind his wife and 8-month-old son. On a GoFundMe page his wife, Catherine Villada, set up this week, she wrote that Leonardo Ospina Villada "was the best part of our lives." On the fundraising site, Catherine Villada said she will use donations to the page to fund an education fund for the couple's son, Oliver.
Catherine Villada wrote that her husband "appreciated the value of education more than most, having moved to the U.S. when he was 18 years old not speaking any English and going all the way to getting his engineering degree last year." "We hope this will be a fitting tribute to him," she wrote on the page, which had raised $21,853 as of Monday Dec. 24. Leonardo Ospina Villada, 34, died when the plane he was piloting crashed at 7:40 a.m. on Friday, Dec. 14.

State fines PAC $500 civil penalty
These signs, proclaiming “Republicans for Stanley Bender,” were spotted at several Prince William County polling places on Election Day.
Election officials say paperwork was incomplete By Karen Chaffraix

passive campaign, spending no campaign funds, received 9.5 percent of the vote. On Nov. 16, Bill Card, chairman of the Prince William County Republican Committee, mailed a formal letter of complaint to the State Board of Elections calling for an investigation into the Republicans for Stanley Bender, calling it “illegal” PAC. Card’s letter – copied to the Prince William Commonwealth Attorney Paul Ebert and General Registrar Michele L. White – stated: “On November 6, Mr. Wiggin’s (sic) PAC placed several campaign signs at each of the polling places in Prince William County with its name in large letters for the obvious purpose of encouraging Republican voters to support Mr. Bender rather than the candidate endorsed by the Prince William County Republican Committee.” Calling the deed a “surprise election day strategy,” Card’s letter said the PAC violated Virginia law by using the candidate’s name without his permission and failing to file a list of expenditures. The complaint included an affidavit signed by Bender stating: “I have provided no authorization…or received any notice…regarding the use of my name in the name of any political action committee.” Prince William County Com-
monwealth’s Attorney Paul Ebert has since referred the matter to a Loudoun County prosecutor for a criminal investigation, which is not yet complete. Addressing the Board of Elections in Richmond, Card, accompanied by more than a dozen fellow committee members, said: “Right here in Prince William County, we have voter fraud conspiracy. This is a larger conspiracy than a misfiling date.” As he spoke, Card held up one of the “Republicans for Stanley Bender” signs followed by three more from campaigns he said go back to 2013. He showed a record of a $480 donation to Lateef’s campaign. He showed a Facebook photograph showing Wiggins at the Lateef victory party last month. After several more committee members implored immediate relief of some kind, State Board of Elections Chairman James Alcorn thanked Card and said, “Until now, the board had no information about the background to this complaint.” Alcorn explained the board’s authority is limited to imposing a fine for an improper PAC application, noting criminal prosecution is in the domain of the commonwealth attorney. Alcorn then announced the board
would assess a $500 penalty. “Because the application was never completed, despite our request for further documentation, and those facts are not going to change,” Alcorn said. Wiggins had filed part of a “statement of organization” with the Virginia Department of Elections to launch the PAC but he failed to respond to a request for additional documentation, the state board found. “I understand the limitations of the board,” Card said in the hallway after the meeting. “But this is just the beginning, not the end,” he said, referring to the ongoing criminal probe. Wiggins could not immediately be reached for comment Friday. He has so far declined to return numerous requests for comment since the Nov. 6 election.

Brentsville and Osbourn Park. The committee also recommended turf fields for Osbourn Park, Gar-Field and Brentsville, as they have not yet been slated for such improvements. “All of the things we recommend are worth doing, if you have the ability to do so,” Richardson said. School board members thanked the group for their work and asked school division staff for a report of
how the improvements might be worked into the 10-year capital improvement plan. “Everyone notices the difference” between the older and newer schools, said School board member Gil Trenum. “Now it’s up to the board to figure out how to fit these in.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

The Virginia Board of Elections voted unanimously Dec. 21 to assess a $500 civil fine against Harry Wiggins, former chairman of the Prince William County Democratic Committee, in connection with campaign activity local Republicans say was intended to affect the outcome of last month’s special election for the school board’s top post. Red signs reading “Republicans for Stanley Bender,” placed at 34 polling places, were intended to confuse voters with misinformation about which candidate the GOP endorsed in the nonpartisan race, the Prince William County Republican Committee said. The group filed a formal complaint with the state board in response. There were three contenders for school board chairman in the Nov. 6 contest: Dr. Babur Lateef, who had been serving as interim chair, who was endorsed by local Democrats; School Board member Alyson Satterwhite (Gainesville), who was endorsed by the GOP committee; and Stanley Bender, who did not run with a party endorsement. Lateef won the election with more than 47 percent of the vote. Satterwhite garnered about 41 percent, while Bender, who ran a largely

fi infrastructure. Such improvements are expensive – estimated at between $18 and $37 million per school -but would have the greatest impact on the overall school environment, Richardson said. Next came new auxiliary gyms for Woodbridge and Gar-Field high schools and specific upgrades for
Priority schools

‘Green Book’ movie spotlights businesses in the segregated South GREEN BOOK, from page 4 Along the way, the two companions’ initially stand-offish relationship transforms into a deep and eventual friendship that transcends race, class and the Mason-Dixon line. The film is directed by Peter Farrelly and stars Viggo Mortensen, as Vallelonga, and Mahershala Ali, as Shirley. It’s been nominated for five Golden Globe awards.
Origins of the Green Book
The 6 ½- by 5-inch, 82-page, paperback Green Book was first published in 1936 by New Yorker Victor H. Green (1892-1960), hence the name. Green gave up his job as a mailman to print and sell the popular annual directory, which offered a valuable and occasionally life-saving information in an era of Jim Crow prejudices and practices, particularly in the South. Until the mid-1960s, many jurisdictions even had “sundowner” directives that barred blacks from spending the night within their town limits. The 1954 Green Book is full of entries for Washington D.C., but very few in what we would currently refer to as Northern Virginia. Warrenton was the exception. The Walkers’ barber shop is listed in the Green Book with a 5th Street address. Fifth Street is now Third Street, and but the shop remains. “It was right next door,” Robert Walker, now 85, recalled as he sat
Green Book, the movie stars Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali. in one of two chairs in the charming and cluttered barber shop he’s occupied for 20 years. He has old photos on the walls, an old-fashioned shampoo sink and the required combs and clippers. A black-and-white checked linoleum floor adds a vintage touch. Among listings in Warrenton, the Green Book included Walker’s Barber Shop, a tourist home, two beauty parlors, three taxi-cab services and a tailor. All were owned and operated
by local black residents. Sixty-four years later, some descendants of the original business owners remain. Walker, a 1954 graduate of segregated William C. Taylor High School in Warrenton, started in the hair-cutting business at age 15 along with his now late brothers, James and Shirley. “I try to keep the name going,” he said, adding that the best part of running the business is “meeting people.” “It’s a great experience to talk to people from all walks of life. Now guys that I knew when they were little bring their children and call me Mr. Bob,” he said. Walker said he has watched Warrenton grow exponentially over the years. “I’ve been here long enough to remember when the town was smaller,” he said. “The integration here was peaceful. I never felt any harassment. This is the beginning of the South here, but Richmond is different.”

No Prince William-area businesses appear to have been listed in the Green Book, according to Don Wilson, a historian at the Ruth E. Lloyd Information Center for Genealogy and History at Bull Run Library, who reviewed several annual copies digitized by the New York Public Library. The books included several entries in Washington, D.C., however, which is probably where most African-American travelers looked for hotels, restaurants and other businesses if traveling through the area, Wilson said. Also, the Green Book likely only included businesses known to Mr. Green and was clearly not a complete listing, Wilson said. “I could only speculate, but looking through several issues, I get the impression that a lot of listings were from businesses that asked to be listed,” Wilson said. “It was likely mostly a matter of who knew whom and the networks they developed themselves.” Also, during the 1930s and 40s, Prince William County was very rural, with a small population, and

not much of a destination in its own right, Wilson said.
A ‘quiet revolution’
The restaurants and hotels that existed in Prince William at the time of the Green Book’s heyday were indeed segregated and remained so until August 1963. That’s when two women led what local historian Scott Harris called a “quiet revolution” in a 2005 account of the county’s desegregation in the Manassas Museum newsletter. Louise Smith Brown, then a fourthgrade teacher at the all-black Dumfries Elementary School, and Dorothy Gaskins Thomas, a church clerk, wrote a letter in August 1963 to the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, asking “to discuss and probably solve some of the most important issues of the day,” Harris’s report said. Their letter led to a meeting of chamber leaders and local black leaders at “the Lake Jackson Restaurant,” one of only a few establishments where blacks and whites could eat together. The black leaders told the chamber representatives they would refrain from sit-ins or protests if local restaurants would agree voluntarily to desegregate, the report said. The chamber called a meeting of Manassas-area restaurants and business owners the following Monday, Aug. 12, 1963, in what was then the town hall. After two hours, it was decided all the town’s eating establishments would desegregate together, effective immediately, the report said. “It was as simple, and yet profound, as that. Manassas integrated with no protests, no arrests, no violence,” Harris wrote. “And while perhaps not all involved were fully reconciled to the new way of things in their hearts, their deeds reflected the acceptance of the reality of segregation’s demise.” Prince William schools desegregated at about the same time, beginning in the 1963-64 school year, Wilson said.

Prince William Times | December 26, 2018
And now, a holiday classic…
Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age. They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men's or children's, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be
as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished. Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that's no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world. You tear apart the baby's rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding. No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.”
I will again introduce legislation to apply minimal consumer protections to open-end credit arrangements, the protections previously required for car title loans. Among other things, this would require companies to obtain a license from the commonwealth, prohibit automatic account debiting, restrict debt collection practices and simultaneously carrying multiple loans. My bill last year did not even contain a rate cap, yet it was killed. This year, Senate Minority Leader Dick Saslaw is sponsoring this bill with me and I am hopeful it will fare better. In addition, I will introduce legislation placing a 36-percent interest rate cap on consumer finance loans. This legislation was supported by the companies who have historically been providing consumer finance loans. Last year, it passed the
Senate 37-2 but died in the House of Delegates. The House proposed to open up the consumer finance license to internet lenders and basically legitimize the 400-percent internet lending practices using Native American tribes. I have now been battling these practices for nearly eight years after these lenders exploded on U.S. 1 and I will not stop. Lending money to people who are confused by complicated terms and slick sales tactics, people who have little ability to repay them, is coercive, immoral and wrong. It is an honor to serve as your state senator. Please email me at scott@scottsurovell.org if you have any feedback. The writer is a state senator representing the 36th District, which includes parts of Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties.
Back in 1897, the New York Sun printed the following letter, from a little girl named Virginia, and this heartwarming response back in 1897. Like many aspects of the holiday season, it is timeless – as meaningful now as it was nearly 122 years ago. Enjoy. “We take pleasure in answering thus prominently the communication below, expressing at the same time our great gratification that its faithful author is numbered among the friends of The Sun: What should Prince William County put on its to-do list for 2019? Please send us your ideas and suggestions at yourview@fauquier.com
Some progress, but more work to do on predatory lending Predatory lending, imposing abusive terms and high interest rates on borrowers regardless of ability to pay, is a nagging problem in Virginia, the 36th Senate District and especially in the U.S. 1 Corridor. I will introduce legislation in January to end to these abusive GUEST VIEW practices. There are many kinds of high-interest or predatory loans. First, payday loans are loans that are secured against a consumer’s pay check. In 2009, the Virginia General Assembly enacted restrictions on payday loans which caused the practice to scale back to about six locations in and around the 36th District. In 2010-11, some of the same companies went back to Richmond and persuaded the legislature to authorize car title loans. Today, in Northern Virginia car title loans are offered by companies like Title Max, Loan Max, Advance America, Cash Point or Fast Auto Loans. These companies are allowed to make loans at interest rates between 15-22 percent per month or up to an annual percentage rate (APR) of 267 percent. Several locations have shut down. The number of locations has gone from 21 to 12 around the 36th District. In 1918, Virginia created a separate license for consumer finance loans to allow small, low-interest loans, largely in the Hampton Roads area. Historically, these loans were not problematic, but around 2014, the car-title loan industry discovered this license, which had no rate interest cap and began co-locating consumer finance companies with car title storefronts and making loans at over 300 percent interest rates. In 2016, I introduced legis-
SCOTT SUROVELL STATE SENATOR 36TH DISTRICT scott@scottsurovell.org lation to prohibit this practice. A Senate committee killed my bill, but only after the car-title industry promised to cease this practice. It appears that they have. More recently, other companies are abusing two new loopholes. First, Virginia law authorizes lenders to use open-end credit lines with no interest rate caps. Historically, this was not a problem, but payday lending companies have begun to use these open-end credit lines to make high interest loans to the same vulnerable consumers. You can go online today and Google “quick cash Virginia” and get a line of credit between $100-$3,500 with no credit check at a 299 percent interest rate with a 15 percent “transaction fee” annualizing to an APR of more than 500 percent. However, even more egregious is the practice of internet lending. Sensing pending regulation at the federal level, many companies began entering into contracts with Native American tribes to provide loans to consumers over the internet, not from storefronts. The loans have what is called “choice of law” clauses providing they are covered by tribal law and arbitration provisions allowing for dispute resolution under tribal law and under the supervision of the chief of the tribe. Interest rates exceed 400 percent and have been documented at more than 1,000 percent. These laws are sometimes dubbed “Rent a Tribe” loans.

Stifling defense helps Brentsville girls down Sherando, 37-20 By Josh Dorsey
Special to the Times
The Brentsville Tigers’ trademark smothering defense again saved their perfect season. After trailing at halftime on Dec. 19, the Tigers held Sherando to only eight points in the second half to earn a 37-20 victory at home in Nokesville and stay unbeaten at 7-0. “Hitting shots was the biggest struggle,” Brentsville girls basketball head coach Eugene Baltimore said. “We had to keep up the defensive intensity and hope that the shots would start falling.” They did in the second half, helping the Tigers rally from a 12-11 deficit following a sloppy first half that featured seven lead changes. Brentsville’s defense, meanwhile, allowed fewer than 26 points in a game for the fifth time this winter. Opponents average only 30.3 points per game against the Tigers. “I tell them that some nights you just aren’t going to have it offensively, but defensively you can always

have it,” Baltimore said. “They are buying in on the defensive end.” Brentsville held the Warriors to only three points in the fourth period, allowing senior Catharine Forst to seal the Tigers’ victory from the free-throw line. “We struggled a little bit in the first half with penetration in the middle,” Forst said. “At halftime Coach Baltimore told us what we needed to work on, and we are really good at looking at where we struggle and fixing it on the court. We did a great job with communication and closing out.” Forst did not make a field goal, but she still finished with 10 points on 12 free throw attempts, including 9-for-10 shooting in the fourth quarter. “There is absolutely nobody I’d rather have getting fouled down the stretch,” Baltimore said. “She is our
leader. She has made big plays at the end of games all season.” So the fourth-quarter pressure didn’t faze Forst. “It is a little nerve wracking at first,” she said, “but their objective is to foul and my objective is to put the game away for my team.” Cai Smith also played well offensively in the second half, scoring 11 of her 13 points. “I think I was just getting in my head during the first half,” Smith said. “I knew I had to pick it up. ... I have to thank my teammates for getting it to me.” Gabby Garrison added 10 for Brentsville. She and Smith are only freshmen. “I have to allow them to make freshman mistakes,” Baltimore said. “That is how they are going to learn. They stick with it and they keep going. “They don’t let it get them down. I am proud of them so far,” he said. They “boosted us up a little bit to open the second half.”
The Tigers took a quick 14-12 lead in the third quarter when Smith drilled a 3-pointer from the corner. She followed that up with a 3-point play, but the Warriors fought back to tie the score 17-17 when Ashton Clark made a 3-pointer. Then Garrison gave Brentsville the lead for good with a 3-pointer. “They are our big shooters,” Forst said of Smith and Garrison. “I have a lot of confidence in them.” So Brentsville entered the fourth period with a 24-17 lead. “We made some big plays down the stretch to get it done,” Baltimore said. “Hopefully those shots will start falling earlier.” The Class 3 Tigers next play Class 6 Forest Park on Thursday in the Manassas Park Holiday Tournament, which continues Friday and Saturday. “We have some tough games coming up,” Baltimore said. “We are going to have to play better than we did tonight against Forest Park if we are going to beat them.”

Winter Protection for Trees and Shrubs
Winterize your car, winterize your home and now winterize your landscape too? Your landscape will appreciate your intervention and reward you with beautiful healthy growth in the spring. Trees and shrubs go through cycles during the year. In late fall, plant root systems expand to store starches for the next spring when a great deal of energy will be used for budding, leafi ng, flowering and twig growth. Spring renewal depends on the availability of water and nutrients in the fall – before the dormant season begins. Fertilization with a slow-release fertilizer is recommended. Proper amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are suited for fall fertilizing. Once the leaves have dropped it’s easier to detect interfering branches and structural weaknesses. That is why fall is an ideal time to prune trees and renovate shrubs because of the unobstructed view. Pruning will also concentrate the tree’s energy into the remaining crown area and result in more luxuriant and vigorous growth in the spring. Evergreens retain their foliage year-round. In winter months, root systems have to work overtime to supply moisture to areas exposed to harsh drying winds. This condition is called “winterburn” and can result in browning foliage. A thorough watering and a light layer of mulch in late fall are excellent precautions to offset this condition. Fertilization is also recommended to help roots increase water absorption capability. “Critters” (deer, mice, voles) probably make the greatest contribution to winter damage. Bartlett Tree Experts has effective programs to reduce deer foraging. For more information or to schedule an appointment for a complimentary consultation, call us at 703-397-8410.

The Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) solicits technical information or comments on proposed flood hazard determinations for the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM), and where applicable, the Flood Insurance Study (FIS) report for your community. These flood hazard determinations may include the addition or modification of Base Flood Elevations, base flood depths, Special Flood Hazard Area boundaries or zone designations, or the regulatory floodway.

These determinations are the basis for the floodplain management measures that your community is required to adopt or show evidence of having in effect to qualify or remain qualified for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
