ocese of Arlington and the Diocese of Richmond. Prince William County is included in the Diocese of Arlington, which covers 21 counties and seven cities in northern and central Virginia. The Diocese of Arlington posted the names of 16 clergy members who met one of three criteria: they admitted guilt; their guilt was determined in a criminal or civil court or by an ecclesiastical process; or the Arlington or Richmond Diocesan Review Board found an allegation against them to be credible, according to the Diocese of Arlington. The names were made public ahead of the summit on preventing clergy sex abuse, which Pope Francis is leading in Rome this week. Organizers are calling Pope Fran-

Four priests who served Catholic parishes in Prince William County were included among the 58 clergy members who church officials say have been “credibly accused of sexual abuse” against a minor. The full list was released publicly for the first time Feb. 13 by the two Catholic dioceses in Virginia: the Di-
cis’ summit, which begins Thursday, a “turning point” in the church’s treatment of sexual abuse. The meeting is said to focus is on church leaders’ ongoing responsibilities in the wake of the now-decades old crisis. Angela Pellerano, spokeswoman for the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, said Bishop Michael Burbidge’s release of the local priests’ names was not tied to the summit or any other event but rather in response to a request from the local Diocesan Review Board to make the names public. Some of the priests who served local churches have been the subject of press releases or news reports over the years. But the Feb. 13 list was the first time the Arlington Diocese released a comprehensive accounting of all its priests
who have been credibly accused of sexual abuse. Those who served Prince William parishes include: Tran Dinh Nhi, who served as pastor of Holy Family Catholic Church in Dale City from 2000 to 2005. Nhi was accused of sexually abusing two minor girls between 1975 and 1980, according to a report in the Catholic Herald. In 2006, Nhi was removed from public ministry, according to the diocese. A review board found the accusation of sexual abuse against him was credible. “He remains removed from public ministry pending a final determination of his canonical status,” the diocese said.

Special election to fill supervisor’s term in limbo Parties scramble to nominate candidates for April contest By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
The Prince William County Board of Supervisors’ effort to fill the late John Jenkins’ seat before the board considers both its budget and a possible bond referendum this spring sent local Democrats scrambling this week to nominate a candidate for an April special election. Whether the contest to fill Jenkins’ term will happen on April 2 or April 9 was still up in the air as of press time. The supervisors voted on Tuesday, Feb. 12 – the day before Jenkins’ memorial service – to ask Prince William Circuit Court Chief Judge Tracy Hudson to issue a writ of election for April 2. Several factors led the board to settle on April 2, including the June 11 primary. Special elections can’t be held fewer than 60 days before a primary. But if the board waits until after the primary, the special election can’t be held fewer than 30 or more than 45 days afterward. As a result, the special election can be held either before April 12 or
between July 11 and Aug. 10. Supervisors Marty Nohe, R-Coles, and Frank Principi, D-Woodbridge, said the board hoped to have an interim supervisor in the seat before the April 9 public hearing on the 2020 budget. But the choice of April 2 proved problematic almost immediately after the supervisors requested the date. Hudson issued the writ for the election on Wednesday, Feb. 13. That triggered a five-day deadline – Tuesday, Feb. 19 – for the local political parties to select their candidates, as stipulated by law for special elections scheduled in fewer than 60 days. Jenkins’ widow, Ernestine Jenkins, objected immediately, according to several people familiar with discussions around the event, because she is traveling to Alabama this week for her husband’s burial and will not return until Sunday, Feb. 24. Jenkins is chairwoman of the Neabsco District Democratic Committee and is said to be considering a run for the seat. She could not be reached for comment last week. Board of Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart, R-At Large, said the board was not initially aware of the five-day deadline when they requested the April 2 date and regretted leaving Ernestine Jenkins without an opportunity to play a role in picking a candidate to fill her husband’s term.
“John Jenkins is being put into the ground on Monday,” Stewart said. “It’s just very, very disrespectful to his family” to force a primary so soon. Stewart pledged Saturday to lead a new vote Feb. 19 to ask Hudson to vacate the original writ and reschedule the special election for April 9. Stewart further said he would ask Hudson not to sign the writ until Thursday, Feb. 21, which would set the new deadline of Tuesday, Feb. 26 for picking candidates. Still, the Prince William County Democratic Committee, concerned those plans could fall through, rushed to organize a one-hour, “firehouse primary,” originally set for 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19, to nominate a candidate by the initial 5 p.m. filing deadline – if necessary, according to Tonya James, senior vice chair of the Prince William County Democratic Committee. But that event was called off Monday after state party officials refused to grant the committee a waiver to hold the caucus with less than seven days’ notice. Party officials objected to the plan to allow only one hour of voting, according to DPVA Political Director Shyam Raman. The local GOP also called a meeting Tuesday, Feb. 19 in hopes of naming or at least endorsing a candidate, said committee Chairman Bill Card.

As of press time, the local Dems had set their sights on nominating caucus held sometime over the Feb. 23-24 weekend as long as Hudson changes the date. That would allow Ernestine Jenkins to help select a Democratic candidate or run for the interim seat if she wants to, which is something she is considering, according to Keith Scarborough, a local Democratic leader and secretary of the Prince William Electoral Board. “Whatever she ends up doing – whether she wants to run or not – at least she can be involved in the process,” Scarborough said Monday. So far, only Don Shaw, who is chairman of the Prince William Democratic Committee, has publicly announced an interest to run for the seat. On Saturday, Shaw said he would wait to have a conversation with Ernestine Jenkins “to get her blessing” before formally declaring his candidacy. What happens if Hudson declines the supervisors’ request to reschedule the election? Candidates – regardless of party nomination – would still have had to file the necessary paperwork with the state department of elections by 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 19, according to a candidate bulletin posted Monday.

said they heard most often from their grandfather: “You Are My Sunshine.” Warren and Mark Jenkins talked about what it was like to grow up with a parent who split his time between family and public service. During their childhood years, Jenkins was in the U.S. Army and served two tours in Vietnam, the last of which occurred in 1968, when Warren, the oldest, was just 8. Jenkins was appointed to the board of supervisors in 1982, nine years after he settled his family in Dale City. The Jenkins family moved to Prince William County in 1973 when John Jenkins was stationed at the Pentagon. He retired from the military in 1980 as a lieutenant colonel. Warren Jenkins said his dad taught his children that “love was action.” “Dad made friends with so many different people. He had friendships that lasted and ran deep,” Warren Jenkins said. “He said ‘I love you’ with a helping hand – often to people who had never seen that before,” said Warren Jenkins.
‘His was a life of service’
Warner praised Jenkins’ years of
service and his support for public education. “There are literally thousands of children who are going to better Prince William County schools because for decades John Jenkins chose to make education a priority,” Warner said. Connolly said Jenkins was “the epitome” of a public servant. “If you want to give lie to the notion that all politicians are in it for themselves or are crooked, take a look at John Jenkins,” Connolly said. “His was a life of service. Look around you. This is what community is. He not only served this community, he helped build it.” McPike, a native of Dale City, recalled meeting Jenkins when he threw out the first pitch to open youth baseball seasons. “He was a giant. … and I wasn’t the only kid who grew up looking at John that way,” McPike said. “He’s meant so much to so many people in Prince William County,” McPike said, noting the Jenkins’ family is large but includes more than those who are related to him. “If you believe as I do, today we’re all Jenkinses.” Reach Jill Palermo at jpalermo@ fauquier.com

Yorkshire man assaulted with electric-shock device in home-invasion robbery A Gainesville man and two women, from Centreville and Fairfax, were arrested Sunday after a Yorkshire-area home-invasion robbery during which a man was assaulted by an electric-shock device and then robbed, according to Prince William County poMicheal lice. Anthony Adamo Officers were called to the 7500 block of Prince Cole Court at 4:40 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 17, after a 31-year-old man reported two people entered his apartment without permission Jordan Mary through an unlocked Crawford door and proceeded to hit him with an electric-shock device before robbing him, according to Officer Nathan Probus, spokesman for the Prince William County Police Department. Officers determined the victim knew the suspects, and the incident was not random. The victim suffered minor injuries during the robbery, Probus said in a news release. Officers detained three suspects without incident at an apartment on Yountville Drive in Gainesville. Police recovered the stolen property as well as an undisclosed amount of heroin, prescription drugs and marijuana after executing a search warrant on the apartment and
a vehicle, the news release said. Michael Anthony Adamo, 24, of Gainesville, and Jordan Mary Crawford, 20, of Fairfax, were arrested and charged with robbery, burglary while armed and drug charges in connection with the incident. Another occupant of the apartment, Kindra Lee Harrison, 24, of Centreville was charged with drug possession. Adamo and Crawford were being held without bond Monday at the Prince William County jail. Harrison was released on a $2,500 unsecured bond.
Additional arrest made in 2017 murder Prince William County this week made another arrest in connection to the killing of an 18-year-old man whose remains were found in Nokesville in 2017, the police department announced. Miguel Angel Ruiz Carrillo’s body was discovered in the area of Nokesville Road and Fauquier Drive in Nokesville on Aug. 22, 2017. He was initially reported missing to Fairfax County police earlier that month, Prince William County police said in a Feb. 12 news release. On Monday, Feb. 11, detectives identified and charged an additional suspect in connection with Ruiz Carrillo’s killing, the news release said. The suspect, identified only as an 18-year-old man, has been incarcerated at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on unrelated charged and was served with warrants there charging him with murder for Ruiz Carrillo’s death. He was transported to the Prince William County Adult Detention Center overnight, police said. The man’s name was not released because he was a juvenile at the time

Woodbridge man sentenced for sex trafficking Staff Reports A Woodbridge man was sentenced Friday to 15 years in prison in connection with sex-trafficking young women held against their will at Dumfries and Springfield-area motels in 2017 and being in possession of a firearm as a felon, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office. According to court documents and evidence presented at trial, Cornell Devore Rhymes, 32, conspired with others, including Justin Robinson and Markus Plummer, who were previously convicted, to force and coerce young women into commercial sex work during August 2017, U.S. Department of Justice prosecutors said in the news release. Over a period of about three months, Rhymes and the other men “recruited young women, including a minor, into commercial sex work,” prosecutors said. “The men advertised the women for sex acts, set their ‘dates’ and collected and retained the profits,” the news release said. The men’s crimes came to light after one of their victims, a 16-year-old
female runaway, managed to escape from the Motel 6 in Dumfries and contact police, who rescued her at the motel, according to court documents. Before his trial, Rhymes pleaded guilty to the firearm charge after law-enforcement officers executed a search warrant and seized a gun from his home. The case was investigated by the FBI Washington Field Office’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force, composed of FBI agents, and detectives from the Fairfax County, Arlington County, Prince William County, Leesburg and Alexandria City Police departments, the Loudoun County and Fauquier County sheriff’s offices, Washington Metropolitan Police, George Mason University Police, the United States Marshal’s Service and agents of various Office of Inspector Generals. This case was brought to the task force by the Prince William County Police Department as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
of the offense, police said. Several other suspects have been charged in connection with Ruiz Carrillo’s killing. In 2017, police charged Hector Armando Gamez-Amaya, 28, of Georgia; Tomas Antonio Pino-Mejia, 19, of no fixed address; and Ismael Antonio Hernandez-Navarro, 19, of no fixed address, with first-degree mur-
der for Ruiz Carrillo’s death. All three were later directly indicted on charges of criminal gang participation. Pino-Mejia is set to stand trial beginning April 1. Gamez-Amaya’s trial is scheduled to begin Aug. 5, and Hernandez-Navarro is set to stand trial on Sept. 16, according to online court records.
Four local priests ‘credibly accused’ of sex abuse
PRIESTS, from Page 1
William J. Erbacher, who served as pastor of Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Manassas from 1993 to 1997, according to press reports. The Diocese of Arlington reported in 2018 that it received notice from a Louisiana diocese that Erbacher had been accused of the sexual abuse of a minor in 1974. Erbacher denied the allegation. The Diocese of Arlington said it had no knowledge of the accusation at the time Erbacher was admitted to the seminary or ordained a priest. Erbacher was removed from active ministry in 2001 and directed in 2010 to live “a life of prayer and penance” as a result his being found guilty of the sexual abuse of a minor, the diocese said. Andrew Krafcik was defrocked in 2004 in connection with a charge of child abuse in Henrico County in 1984. At the time, Krafcik was sentenced by the court to counseling instead of jail and continued in the priesthood until he retired in 1996. Krafcik lived in retirement at Holy Family Catholic Church in Dale City from 1996 to 2002, according to a 2004 Associated Press report. Krafcik also served for a time at Sacred Heart in Manassas, but Pellerano declined to disclose when he was assigned to Sacred Heart, citing privacy concerns. Kevin Downey, O.F.M., served as
pastor of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Triangle from July 2011 to May 2016, according to an April 2017 statement from Franciscan Friars Holy Name Province in New York. Downey was placed on a leave of absence in May 2016 and removed from all public ministries in 2017 after a complaint of alleged misconduct with a minor was made against him. The statement did not say where or when the abuse occurred.
List stems from 2018 review
In September 2018, Burbidge commissioned a new, “thorough review of the files of all priests and deacons who have ever served in [the Arlington] diocese, including those who are deceased or no longer living here,” said a fact sheet accompanying the release. The review was conducted by two former FBI agents and followed previous reviews of clergy personnel files conducted in 2003 and 2011. In a letter accompanying the announcement, Burbidge wrote: “The publishing of this list will bring a range of emotions for all of us. Embarrassment, frustration, anger and hurt are all natural emotions to experience in a time such as this. I share those emotions.” Burbidge also said he remains open to meeting with victims and survivors of abuse by members of the clergy.
“Having met with numerous victims and survivors of sexual abuse, both in group settings and in individual meetings, I continue to be inspired by your strength and your resolve,” Burbridge wrote. “I am deeply sorry for what has happened to you.” No priest who is still practicing in active ministry has been credibly accused of sexual abuse, the diocese said.
State investigation continues
In October, Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring (D) announced that his office and the Virginia State Police would investigate sexual abuse within the Richmond
and Arlington dioceses. Herring’s action came after a grand jury in Pennsylvania found “credible” evidence that more than 300 “predator priests” in Pennsylvania sexually abused more than 1,000 children since the 1940s. Virginia is one of 13 states that have launched investigations. The Virginia State Police have set up a toll-free hotline at 1-833-4549064 and a website, www.virginiaclergyhotline.com, to take reports about child sexual abuse by clergy. Capital News Service reporters Emily Holter and Rodney Robinson contributed to this report.

Loudoun supervisor joins crowded state Senate race Six vying to replace retiring Sen. Dick Black By James Ivancic Times Staff Writer
A sixth candidate, Loudoun County Supervisor Geary Higgins, has joined the already-crowded race to replace retiring state Sen. Dick Black in the 13th District state Senate district. The district includes parts of western Prince William and Loudoun counties. With Republicans holding onto a slim, two-seat majority in the state Senate, the race for the open 13th District seat will likely be one of the most hotly contested in the state. There were already three Democrats and two Republicans vying for the seat when Higgins announced his candidacy Tuesday, Feb. 12. Higgins, 65, has served on the
Loudoun County board for eight years and previously served on the school board. He also has the one thing his fellow GOP candidates lack: Black’s endorsement. “Geary Higgins has demonstrated his commitment to defending the unborn and protecting the Second Amendment. He is a conservative statesman who will lead the Republicans to victory in November,” Black said in a news release. Two other Republicans are also seeking their party’s nomination for the seat: Ron Meyer, also a Loudoun County supervisor, and Mike Buscher, a former CIA officer who is currently vice president of a defense and intelligence firm. Buscher also announced his candidacy last week. “I have an extensive track record of bridging gaps, unifying people and ideas as well as decades of ex-
perience working under the most stressful of environments,” Buscher said in a news release. Meyer touts the progress made in building roads that offer commuters an alternative to paying tolls on the Dulles Greenway. Three Democrats are seeking their party’s nomination for the 13th District seat: Del. John J. Bell, 87th District, Jasmine Moawad-Barrientos and Lucero Wiley. Higgins has a link to Prince William County. He and his wife lived in Manassas after they were first married. They moved to Bluemont and then to Waterford where they live in a 240-year-old farmhouse. Maintenance of the home “keeps me out of trouble,” Higgins said. Higgins said people in Loudoun and Prince William share the same quality of life concerns – transportation, preser-
Satterwhite announces new bid for school board chair By Jill Palermo
Times Staff Writer
Prince William County voters will again have at least three candidates to choose from when they head to the polls Nov. 5 to pick a new school board chairperson. And the ballots will likely look very familiar. Gainesville District School Board Representative Alyson Satterwhite announced her candidacy Friday, Feb. 15 in a Facebook video shot outside Henderson Elementary School
in Montclair. Satterwhite came in second to School Board Chairman Dr. Babur Lateef, who won a special election last November to serve out the last year of former chair Ryan Sawyers’ term. Lateef, an ophthalmologist who lives in the Manassas area of Prince William County, won the three-way contest with about 48 percent of the vote. Satterwhite garnered about 42 percent, while Stanley Bender, of Woodbridge, took about 10 percent of the total.
Bender has already filed paperwork to run in November. Lateef is expected to do the same. On Tuesday, Satterwhite said she’s “determined” to try again to lead the school board for a full, four-year term and said her campaign would focus on school safety, anti-bullying efforts, student mental-health issues, reducing class sizes and enhancing career and technical education programs for high school students. “Prince William County schools

He’s Geary Higgins chairman of the board’s transportation and land use committee. He represents the Catoctin District, which covers a large portion of western and all of northern Loudoun County. He formerly served on the county school board.

‘Like Chernobyl?’
Wrapping up a strange short session in Richmond
Things have been surreal in Richmond this year, as legislators race through a 45-day short session while scandal rocked the highest offices in the commonwealth. Be that as it may, lawmakers did their best to focus on the task at hand – considering hundreds of bills and hammering out a new state budget – while the aforementioned scandals remained largely unresolved. Why Virginia, the 12th largest state in the U.S. with a population of 8.5 million, continues to adhere to unreasonably short legislative calendar more suitable for a smaller, agriculturally-focused state – escapes us. But that’s a topic for another time. For now, suffice it to say the timeline leaves too much to consider in far too little time. Tuesday, Feb. 5, alone saw more than 100 bills move through the House. By crossover day, the General Assembly had killed or ignored four of every 10 bills, according to the Virginian-Pilot. Virginia’s trio of embattled leaders aren’t going anywhere. Democrats seem to have come to terms with that. So, let’s review what has and hasn’t gotten done amid a troubled session at times so unsettling that one legislative aide described the atmosphere in the
Capitol building as “like Chernobyl.”
Some accomplishments:
• Measures regarding school safety, a priority in the wake of last year’s Parkland tragedy and the subsequent scares in local schools, appear to be making their way toward Gov. Ralph Northam’s desk. • Ditto for a bill protecting the privacy of big-prize lottery winners. • A move – finally – to make holding a cellphone while driving a primary offense has also found success. • School boards will be required to implement policies to prohibit the distribution and use of tobacco and vape products on school property; also the age to purchase such products is on track to rise from 18 to 21. • A measure requiring Dominion to clean up coal ash stored in unlined pits at four sites around the state is awaiting the governor’s signature. • A move to put the brakes on casinos pending completion of a yearlong study, will perhaps delay the inevitable but allow the state to proceed cautiously, nonetheless. • While the current proposal lacks strength to curb gerrymandering, there is growing bipartisan support for creating an independent redistricting commission, taking that role out of lawmakers’ hands.
Unequal school facilities demand our attention now By Kate Olson-Flynn
There are huge issues of equity and equality in our schools in Prince William County. It is the job of the school administration, school board and board of county supervisors to work to remedy this situation for all students by allocating our tax money in the school budget and capital improvement plan to begin correcting these differences now. According to the Center for Public Education, “Equality in education is achieved when students are all treated the same and have access to similar resources. Equity is achieved when all students receive the resources they need so they graduate prepared for success after high school.” This means schools need to provide disadvantaged students with more resources in order to help all students thrive. By these definitions, Prince William County’s school division is not accomplishing equity or equality for all students at the high-school level. In particular, the students at Woodbridge, Gar-Field and Stonewall Jackson high schools are not being given equitable opportunities to succeed because students are not getting access to the same quality of facilities as the students from any of the newer high schools in the county. While the school board has
planned two new turf fields at both Woodbridge and Stonewall Jackson high schools, fundamental problems continue to exist with the infrastructure and the lack of resources, impeding students’ achievement in school, on the field and beyond. Furthermore, these issues are exacerbated when looking at the demographics of the students who attend the newer high schools compared to those at the older ones. There are by far many more English-language learners and economically-disadvantaged students as well as students of color attending older schools with dilapidated, outdated buildings and classrooms, which worsens issues of equity in the county. Instead, these students should be provided with the equal resources and facilities at a minimum so they are provided the same chances to achieve in their studies and extracurricular activities as students at the county’s newer high schools. For example, the school board removed the specialty program from Woodbridge Senior High School without the community’s consent in 2016 and has not replaced it with another program for students to enrich their studies. This decision by the school administration and the school board has limited the students’ and
Less encouraging:
• Bills to raise Virginia’s minimum wage, set at the national minimum, are dead. • Regulations on high-interest loans – payday lenders, title loans and online lenders that prey on the poor – failed to pass after intense lobbying by the industry. Along the way, the House and Senate found a tax-relief compromise for those facing higher state income-tax bills due to last year’s federal tax changes. Yet, much remains unresolved as the session races toward its Saturday, Feb. 23, adjournment, including the state budget and a fight to allow a vote on the Equal Rights Amendment. One thing is certain: By the end of this blistering legislative session, Virginia will need a break to sort through the fallout.
the communities’ choices in curriculum at their neighborhood school. The building structures at Woodbridge, Kate Olson-Flynn Gar-Field and Stonewall Jackson high schools have no windows for natural light. This, per se, is not an equity issue unless you take into consideration that all the newer high schools were built deliberately with an overabundance of windows. In fact, Prince William school division officials cited research to support and promote the decision to have excess windows at Colgan High School, touting that natural light is best for student learning. If we want optimal learning environments for all students, then the older high school buildings need to have windows that provide natural light as well. Woodbridge and Gar-Field high schools both have only one full court in their gymnasiums to practice and play indoor sports, as compared to the three full courts that all other high schools have in the county. While the Woodbridge community is grateful that there is money in the budget for a proposed auxiliary gym, the addition of one full court does not make the schools’ facilities equitable unless there are three full courts built for use. These are just some examples of both inequity and inequality between the schools that have to be re-
solved in the school budget and capital improvement plan. And it must start in this new budget year. The time is now for the school administration, school board and board of supervisors to act to rebuild educational fairness and opportunities for all in Prince William County. Lake Ridge resident Kate Olson-Flynn, Ph.D., has spent more than two decades working in public education, first as an elementary school teacher and as a professor at various universities across the country. She is an adjunct professor and university supervisor in George Mason University’s College of Education and Human Development. She has dedicated most of her work to issues of equity and access in education and improving teaching practices for culturally and linguistically diverse students.
• The Senate passed a bill allowing the creation of Bible classes as a high-school elective. While we might view more favorably a comparative religion class, a class specific to one religion is inconsistent with the role of a public education. • A bill to ease Virginia’s notoriously draconian absentee-voting rules, which would have allowed voters to apply for absentee ballots without giving a reason for not voting in person, died in the House. • A bill that would limit criminal charges for disruptive student behavior died in the House. A strikingly high ratio of criminal disorderly conduct complaints against children – two in five – originate in the classroom, according to state statistics.

A FIRST FOR CURTIS, A FOURTH FOR WITTENBERG
PHOTOS BY DOUG STROUD
Battlefield senior Beau Curtis (above) broke through to win the 132-pound Class 6 title Saturday. Fellow Bobcat senior Brandon Wittenberg (below) won at 126 for his fourth state crown.
Battlefield practice partners celebrate state titles By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Beau Curtis learned to embrace the mighty burden that he faced. And he finally made it submit Saturday. Curtis won his first state championship for the Battlefield Bobcats after years of growing up around the wrestling greatness of a four-time state champion older brother and a two-time college all-American father. The past three seasons, he fell short of matching their success, but he reached the top of the medal stand this weekend as a senior by winning the Class 6 132-pound title at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax. “There was a lot of really big expectations with my last name,” Curtis said. “At first I feel like I was kind of like scared of the expectation, but I’ve kind of just [tried to] have fun with it and just show them, ‘I’m a Curtis. I can do it.’ “So it feels amazing to finally be able to call myself a state champion. It’s kind of like my family’s tradition.” Curtis’ practice partner throughout high school was Brandon Wittenberg, who became only the second four-time state champion in Bobcats’ history Saturday by winning the 126 title. “It’s surreal right now,” Wittenberg said. “It feels like a dream. It feels beyond great.” A year after winning their first Class 6 team title, the Bobcats finished fifth (83 points) behind champion Robinson (163.5) after winning a region title (Class 6D) for the fourth time in five years and a district-level championship (Cedar Run) for
the eighth consecutive season. “Some of the guys ... came to states and did bigger things than they were expected to do,” Wittenberg said of the Bobcats. “I was really proud of our team, especially at regionals. I did not expect us to win, honestly. So that was huge for us.” Battlefield finished Saturday with four state medals as Alex Ward placed fifth at 182 and Raheem Clemons took sixth at 160. Ryan Menard failed to place but earned five team points by going 2-2 at 113, while Dyson Dunham added two team points at 106 by going 1-2 with Mark Ayala going 0-2 at 138. Besides Wittenberg, Battlefield’s other fourtime champion is Curtis’ brother, River, who graduated along with eight other senior starters following last season after helping the Bobcats win their first team state title.
Wittenberg goes out in style
Wittenberg won all four matches this weekend via pin, needing only a combined 5 minutes, 13 seconds. As a youth wrestler, he set the goal of winning four varsity state titles, so it has been a long time in the making. Yet, he didn’t savor the moment Saturday. In the 126 final, Wittenberg beat Kellam’s Cameron Fentress in a mere 39 seconds, landing a shot for a takedown within the opening five seconds. “The plan was just to go out hard; push the pace,” said Wittenberg, who has wrestled with a meniscus injury during the postseason. “No one in the state can keep up with me. I train harder than all of them. I believe that.” Curtis, meanwhile, won the 132 state final with
three takedowns for a 7-1 decision over Robinson’s Liam Gordon. So Beau Curtis actually now has a leg up on his father, Johnny, who didn’t win a state championship as a Fairfax High senior due to a knee injury. Johnny Curtis, however, went on to win three state championships at George Mason University, twice earning the title of Colonial Athletic Association Wrestler of the Year (1992, 1993) and all-American status before earning a spot on the United States national team (1996-2000). At least one of those accomplishments is now the goal for Brandon Wittenberg, who recently signed with Virginia Tech. “I want to be an NCAA all-American very bad,” he said. “I can’t wait [to see] what I can do at Tech.”

You the man, Seth Ellsmore
Woodbridge heavyweight earns gold in OT; Potomac’s Moaz also wins gold
Brentsville’s Cardinale wins state title Led by 106-pound state champion Foster Cardinale, Brentsville scored 122.5 points to finish third at the Class 3 wrestling meet at Salem Civic Center. Cardinale beat Spotsylvania’s Moses Wilson 4-0 in the final to complete his run to the title. New Kent won the team title with 200.5 while Manassas Park placed 32nd with six.
By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
With four seconds remaining in double overtime Saturday, Seth Ellsmore expelled an exuberant roar only inches away from the ear of his opponent in the 285-pound final of the Class 6 state meet. He knew Robinson’s Alex Hazard couldn’t escape from underneath him, which meant Ellsmore was about to become the Woodbridge Vikings’ first state champion in 15 years. So he couldn’t stifle his joy long enough for the final whistle to blow. And who could blame him, especially after he had never previously qualified for the state tournament, let alone won a championship? So after Ellsmore climbed off Hazard with a 2-1 ride-out victory in overtime, a stream of Woodbridge fans spent the next 15 minutes congratulating him as the Vikings’ first champion since Ivan Lagares won the 2004 Group AAA 171 title. “It’s been a long time coming, and we’ve had some unbelievable wrestlers come through,” Ellsmore said.

got so much pride for the school.” He was also one of only four Prince William County wrestlers who won a state championship Saturday at Robinson, joining Battlefield’s Brandon Wittenberg (126 pounds) and Beau Curtis (132), as well as Potomac’s Syed Moaz (138). Ellsmore helped Woodbridge place ninth in the Class 6 team standings (56 points) with Forest Park leading all Prince William County teams in fourth (91) thanks to a county-best six state medals. Leading the Bruins were Austin Lopez (second, 182), Cade Eversley (third, 220), Charlie Lopez (fourth, 160), Josh Harmon (fifth, 132), Carson Miller (sixth, 106) and Jack Bobeck (sixth, 145). Battlefield followed Forest Park in the team standings at fifth (83 points) with Colgan 15th (45), Osbourn Park 17th (36.5), Patriot 23rd (23), Hylton 26th (21.5), Osbourn 30th (18) and Stonewall Jackson 35th (11), while Potomac finished 11th in Class 5 (51). Ellsmore earlier won the Cardinal District title, but Hazard beat him 3-1 in the Region 6C final, keeping Ellsmore from winning a region title in his career. In fact, Ellsmore had never even qualified for a region tournament prior to this season. His best finish was fourth as a sophomore at 220 in the Conference 4 tournament, and he did not wrestle during the postseason as a junior. Yet he shined this season, especially at state. “It’s training,” Ellsmore said of his improvement. “You’ve got to have the best endurance and you’ve got to have the best work ethic. I take that to heart. … I try and push myself every day.” In the state final, he pushed Hazard to the brink of exhaustion. Ellsmore fell behind 1-0 when Hazard escaped from underneath the Woodbridge wrestler only four seconds into the second period. Ellsmore then forced overtime at 1-1 by escaping from underneath Hazard with 44 seconds remaining in the third. The first overtime period passed without anyone scoring, so Ellsmore started the second overtime on bottom. He quickly escaped for a 2-1 lead, but he still needed to ride out Hazard for 30 seconds to clinch the victory, a daunting task for any heavyweight wrestler. “Extremely tough,” Ellsmore said. “When you get big, great heavyweights like Hazard, it’s hard to keep them down. You saw that second period, he was right up” for an escape. Ellsmore had worn Hazard down
Elsewhere in the finals, Brentsville’s Zoitos Carayiannis lost to New Kent’s Nicholas Vafiadis 7-2 at 132 and Grant Abernethy lost to Turner Ashby’s Jessie Knight via pin in 1 minute, 47 seconds at 285. Adding fifth-place finishes were Robert Tucker (120 pounds), Tate Land (160) and Kosei Cuyler (170).
by overtime, though. The Robinson wrestler took a few seconds between whistles to close his eyes, tilt his head toward the ceiling and gather his breath. So, during the final 30 seconds, Ellsmore kept him from standing, and then Hazard remained laying on the mat for about 10 seconds after Ellsmore’s victory. “We were both pretty tired, but I definitely think it came down to endurance,” Ellsmore said. “You’ve got to make it to the very end and still dominate.” Also earning state medals for Woodbridge were Peter Sepulveda (fifth, 145), Sam Congleton (sixth, 113) and Yousuf Hammad (sixth 126), while Potomac’s Moaz won at 138 with Emmanuel Ayi-Bonte third at 195 and Denzel Porter sixth at 220.
Moaz wins gold at 138
Moaz earned the first championship of his career by beating Mountain View’s Elijah White 8-7 in double overtime after he finished second last season as a junior and third as a sophomore. “It’s a relief” to finally win, he said. “Gold medals [are] not made of gold, they’re made out of hard work, sweat and dedication. Every day after practice I would go in the weight room and work out, and that’s what I would tell myself.” Moaz fell behind 2-0 in the first period, 4-1 in the second and 6-3 in the third, but then he scored three points late to force overtime. “I was like, ‘You know what, I’m not going to go out like this,’” Moaz said of his deficit. “I was going to give it all.” In the first overtime period, Moaz appeared to score on a takedown at the edge of the mat with about 10 seconds remaining, but the referees rescinded the two points after they huddled for a conversation. So the match continued to double overtime, but Moaz didn’t worry. “I didn’t matter to me,” he said. “My momentum was still going. The adrenaline was still rushing.” So, in the second overtime period, he landed another takedown for an 8-6 lead en route to the victory.
Other medals
Also earning state medals were Patriot’s Chris Fritis (second, 220), Colgan’s Isaiah Causey (third, 195) and Cesar Rodriguez (fifth, 285), Hylton’s Shawn Nonaka (third, 138), Osbourn Park’s James Hardy (third, 152) and Luke Nitowski (fifth, 220), Osbourn’s Andrew Holladay (fifth, 120) and Stonewall Jackson’s Kevin Turner (sixth, 195).

Founder of White Grass Ski Touring Center widely known and beloved
A Canaan Valley legend
By John Hagarty
Contributing Writer
Wild, wonderful West Virginia? True enough. But the state’s slogan might also fittingly apply to Chip Chase. Chase is the whirling dervish owner of White Grass and is everywhere present at one of the most popular cross-country skiing centers in the nation. Nearly 25 years ago the Washington Post named it one of the best 10 Nordic ski areas in the country. Chase hasn’t taken his foot off his snowy gas pedals since. If you are looking for the perfect definition of authenticity, then a trip to White Grass is de rigueur. Nestled on the northern slope of Cabin Mountain in Davis, West Virginia, the resort is one of the oldest “free-heeling” ski venues in the country opening in 1979. More impressively, its current lodge dates to 1959 when it served as an early downhill ski resort. The magic starts when you step into the lodge and simultaneously back in time. All in one footfall. Chances are good Chase will be there to greet you. “Hey, good to see you.” Typically followed by a wave, handshake or hug. His voice is so distinct you can hear it above the raucous din of a packed lodge when you think they can’t possibly get another skier inside the small building. His banter bounces around the room like a laser light show: “You do the same!” “Want a sip of shine?” (seriously) “Go pick out a pair of boots, we’ll make a deal.” “Conditions are ideal. Get out there and ski!” And on and on. The man was vaccinated with a phonograph needle as evidenced by his nonstop chatter. But what you are really hearing is the sound of love coming from him and ricocheting back from his legion of fans. “I just love people. People turn me on. They just get me excited. If I see somebody I know, I get a rush in my body. I just want to hug them. “I learned that from my mom, Janie, who was super-friendly. She taught me everything I know about loving people. I just happen to be in the kind of business where that works,” said Chase. To reinforce his mother’s influence, a 1948 photo of her holding a set of ski poles is prominently

In the beginning
So how did a self-described “Air Force brat” grow up to become the owner of a legendary ski resort? First, with Chase, “grow up” is loosely defined both emotionally and physically. The “Chipper,” 65, is a slim, athletic man who has never won a tallest-man-in-the-room contest. And secondly, if someone told Chase he had to grow up when he was young, it’s likely he would have suggested where they could stick the idea. Yes, he’s successful. Yes, he’s a savvy businessman. And yes, he’s a loving husband and father of a daughter and three sons. But he would emphatically refuse to wear a “grown-up” label that might be taken as the aura of conventionality. His badge of honor is childlike exuberance. And it’s contagious. As a young lad, he traveled the world as the son of an Air Force father who was a downhill skier and sportsman. Chase first learned to ski in Alaska and Colorado while the family lived there but later gave the sport up. “Then one winter I went up to New England to visit my sister and I got turned on to cross- country skiing. I was 19. My whole family were downhill skiers. There weren’t many cross-country skiers back then,” said Chase. “It was like people felt sorry for you if you cross-country skied.” Back home in Virginia, he met his second wife. “Laurie and I had three boys together and have been married almost 40 years. I had a pre-
vious marriage and it was awesome and I have a wonderful daughter from that marriage.” Chase lived in Northern Virginia while his father worked Chip Chase at the Pentagon and Laurie originally hailed from Strasburg. But the young suburban couple loved country living and moved to the Shenandoah Valley, got married and set up “sorta a homesteading life together.” “We were into a kind of subsistence living. I was a back-to-thelander and worked all kinds of jobs; carpentry, apple picking, chimney sweep. I did a little bit of everything to make ends meet.” From the suburbs to living in the mountains is where the White Grass journey began. Chase’s emerging love of cross-country triggered an idea to start a ski place around Harrisonburg, Virginia. Unfortunately, nature did not cooperate with sufficient natural snow. Hearing that Canaan Valley, West Virginia, had reliable snowfalls, he discovered an old downhill ski resort south of Davis that had success written all over its weathered facade. Nearly four decades later, the genius of not tearing down that original building and turning it into a homey, retro cross-country venue is evident to thousands of his loyal skiers. As the ski operation took off, a café was opened to feed the growing kick
and glide crowd. Its food reputation is equal to that of the skiing, resulting in popular cookbooks written by his wife Laurie, who heads up the kitchen. Chase says, “The café is great. We serve international cuisine focused on healthy foods. Its operation is subsidized by ski revenues. We never tell the kitchen there are too many expensive ingredients. We just tell them one thing: Cook! And to never hurry up. “The café is a no-brainer. Skiers come in here so hungry after skiing they’re chewing their arm off,” said Chase. As White Grass sets its sights on the future Chase says, “I feel pretty healthy. I eat well. I sleep well, and I don’t have many physical ailments. The farmer that I rent this land from is 97 years old and going strong; 65 is today’s 45. “We started with a simple goal and if you take baby steps toward reaching such a goal, it makes it even better when you achieve it. It’s so much fun,” said a grinning Chase. White Grass ski resort is open whenever the snow flies or lays packed on its trails. If you don’t cross-country ski, consider renting top-quality equipment and taking a lesson. Or rent or bring your snowshoes and explore the 18 miles of mountain and pasture trails. Oh, and bring your appetite. For the complete White Grass story, including trail conditions and webcam photos, visit www.whitegrass.com. For more business and wine tales, visit Hagarty-on-wine.com
