Va. Senate poses a possible roadblock for Rosie’s 5-year moratorium on expansion proposed By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
A bill to allow Rosie’s Gaming Emporium to expand its planned off-track betting parlor in Dumfries to as many as 1,950 “historical horse-race” betting machines hit a roadblock in the Virginia Senate this week as a result of a proposed state budget amendment. If approved, the amendment
would put a five-year moratorium on any expansion made possible through the proposed casino bills making its way through the Virginia General Assembly. The casino bills pave the way for casinos to open in five Virginia cities – Portsmouth, Richmond, Norfolk, Danville and Bristol -- as long as voters in those localities approve ballot referendums to allow them this November. To mitigate the competition new casinos are expected to pose to off-track betting facilities, the bills
would also expand the number of slot-like betting machines allowed in Virginia’s pari-mutuel betting parlors. In towns the size of Dumfries, current Virginia Gaming Commission rules allow only 150 betting machines. Under the casino bills, the Dumfries operation could add as many as 1,800 more. Dumfries voters approved a referendum allowing pari-mutuel betting in November 2019. After initially voting against it, the Dumfries Town Council narrowly approved a conditional use permit Feb. 18 to allow

Tax and fee hikes on real-estate property, data centers, vehicles, boats and trailers could be on the way to provide additional funding for Prince William County schools and other needs after the board of supervisors voted last week to advertise a package of higher tax rates ahead of public hearings on the proposed 2021 budget. Board Chair Ann Wheeler, D-At Large, said the advertised rates represent a ceiling on possible new tax increases and would allow the county to provide the extra $15.3 million needed to fully fund the budget Superintendent Steve Walts presented to the school board earlier this month. “There are unmet needs in the school system that have been there for years, and I’m trying to make sure that we have some flexibility to address those going forward,” Wheeler said. “We may not end up doing any of these things.” The supervisors will discuss the budget and tax-rate increases in a series of meetings in the coming weeks. Once the advertised tax rate is set, the board can choose to lower the tax rates, but cannot raise them. Walts presented a spending plan to the school board Feb. 5 that asks for an additional $31 million in local funding above the county’s long-standing revenue sharing agreement to cover employee pay raises, new spending for economically disadvantaged students and the expansion of the county’s preschool program, among other things. Under the advertised tax rates, residential property tax rates would rise from $1.125 to $1.17 per $100 in assessed valuation, generating an additional $65 million in real estate tax revenue, according to county government spokeswoman Nikki Brown.

ROSIE’S, from page 1 “This amendment needs to go away and die,” Surovell said Monday. Sen. Jeremy McPike, D-29th, however, has pushed back against a larger off-track betting parlor in Dumfries and supports the budget amendment. McPike represents constituents in Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. “It’s a prudent matter to take a pause on the very rapid expansion around the state of different forms of gaming and gambling,” McPike said. “I certainly expect the casino legislation to pass. The only question left remaining is what else should also be occurring as a result of that.” Both the state Senate and House of Delegates have approved their respective budgets. As of now, only the Senate budget restricts the timing of off-track betting parlor expansions. Both budgets will head to confer-
Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | February 26, 2020
ence committees later this week to resolve any differences. Appropriations Chair Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, who represents Dumfries, will likely be included in the budget conference committee. Torian said he supports efforts by the Dumfries Town Council and Dumfries Mayor Derrick Wood to bring a Rosie’s Gaming Emporium to the town. Wood said last week he does not currently have a position on allowing Colonial Downs to open a larger Rosie’s Gaming Emporium should the state legislation pass. If Colonial Downs wants to pursue a larger facility, the company will have to bring another conditional use permit application to the town council. The proposed increase in historical horse-race machine limits was included in the casino legislation to address concerns that casino gaming would negatively impact pari-mutuel betting
TAX HIKES, from page 1 Average annual tax bills under the advertised tax rate would rise from the current average of $4,487 to $4,838, including the fire levy, or $29 per month, Brown said. The average tax bill is based on a home valued at $387,073. Wheeler’s proposed residential tax increase is more than double the 2-cent tax-rate increase County Executive Chris Martino proposed in the budget he presented to the supervisors for the first time on Tuesday, Feb. 18. Under the tax rate Martino proposed, average annual tax bills would rise from $4,487 to $4,742. The county executive’s proposed budget includes a 5-cent tax increase on programmable computers and peripherals, bringing it from $1.25 to $1.30 per $100 in assessed value. The Board is advertising an additional 5-cent increase on the programmable computers and peripherals, bringing the advertised rate to $1.35. The increase in the advertised rate would add an estimated $800,000 in county tax revenue above the rate proposed by the county executive. Also included in the proposed budget are increases in the county’s motor vehicle license fees for cars, trucks and motorcycles. The license fee for cars and trucks would rise from $24 to $33, while the fee for motorcycle licenses would increase from $12 to $20. The increased vehicle license fees will generate an estimated $3.5 million in fiscal year 2021 and put the county’s motor vehicle license fee on par with other Northern Virginia localities, Martino said. Wheeler also requested that the county extend its $3.70 general personal property tax rate
in Virginia. A November 2019 JLARC study of casino gaming in Virginia said casino competition would likely result in 45% decline in revenue from historical horse-race betting. Virginia Equine Alliance Executive Director Jeb Hannum said Virginia’s equine and agricultural industries have seen new life since the General Assembly authorized a deal to reopen the Colonial Downs horse racing track in New Kent County in 2018. Colonial Downs was permitted to open the Rosie’s Gaming Emporium betting parlors as part of that deal. “But now, it is all at risk,” Hannum said. “It is imperative that legislators understand that any new budget language included in proposed legislation should not restrict the significant growth the industry is experiencing but foster continued success.” Under the casino bill, Colonial Downs could add 600 historical horse racing machines at its Rosie’s locations
to boats and trailers which, according to county staff, could add between $1 and $4.2 million in county tax revenue. The current tax rate on such recreational assets is currently $0.00001 – or virtually zero -- with no tax bill for boats and trailers valued at less than $50,000. Wheeler said the increase in local tax revenue, as advertised, would add about $29.5 million in county funds in FY 2021, which would produce the extra revenue for county schools as well as $7 million for unfunded county needs Martino outlined during the Feb. 18 meeting. Those unfunded programs include a “co-responder” unit of three police officers and four therapists specially trained to respond to mental health calls; staffing increases for the department of criminal justice services; additional body-worn cameras for law enforcement officers; and about $4 million in community and social services programming. Supervisors voted 5-2 along party lines to approve the advertised tax rates, with all five Democratic supervisors voting in favor of the proposal and Supervisors Pete Candland, R-Gainesville, and Yesli Vega, R-Coles, voting against it. Supervisor Jeanine Lawson, R-Brentsville, was absent from the meeting. “The mere fact that we’re allowing staff to consider this is outrageous,” Vega said. “We’re trying to increase affordable housing here in Prince William County while we’re increasing their taxes at the same time. That doesn’t make sense.”

for each casino operation approved by local voters, with a cap of an additional 2,500 machines statewide. The bill would allow the Virginia Racing Commission to authorize up to 1,800 machines in a satellite facility in a metropolitan area with a population of 2.5 million or more located in a jurisdiction that past a referendum prior to January 1, 2020. Although the Town of Dumfries has just more than 5,000 residents, the town fits that criteria given its proximity to Washington D.C., Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties. The Colonial Downs Group has four pari-mutuel betting satellite facilities in Virginia: in New Kent County, Vinton, Richmond and Hampton. The company operates 2,150 machines in total: 700 each in Richmond and Hampton, 600 in New Kent and 150 in Vinton. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com
dress internal wage compression and make county pay more competitive with surrounding jurisdictions. Phase I went into effect Jan. 11. The proposed budget will provide $350,000 for a 15% salary supplement for employees of a new public defenders’ office. The new office will serve Prince William County, Manassas and Manassas Park and will employ 35 people. The office will be funded primarily by state funds. Gov. Ralph Northam has included $2.7 million in his budget to establish the public defenders’ office in Prince William. The proposed budget includes $2.3 million for a new fire station engine unit at Station 22 in Groveton, which is near Gainesville. The proposed budget provides $1.5 million to the county’s department of elections, of which $1.1 million will help fund the 2020 presidential election. An additional $300,000 will be dedicated to early voting and no-excuse absentee voting, while $100,000 will be used to hire two assistant registrars. The proposed budget includes $14.7 million for the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission and $5.9 million in local subsidies for the Virginia Railway Express. It also includes $8 million for the design of three of the road projects included in the road bond referendum voters approved last November. Design costs for the other two -- the Va. 28 and Summit School road widening projects -- have already been funded. The budget does not include any money, however, to fund borrowing to construct either the $355 million in road projects or the $41 million in park projects voters approved in the referendum. The supervisors will continue their deliberations on the budget in meetings over the coming weeks before final tax rates are adopted in late April.

Wetland bank won’t halt gas pipeline Fauquier farm owners settle with Transco By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
A months-long dispute that pitted a proposed wetlands mitigation bank against an expanded natural gas pipeline is over. The pipeline won, but owners of the Fauquier farm on which the pipeline will be built say the result is a “win, win, win” for all involved. Shannon Jensen, one of the owners of the Catlett property impacted by the expansion of Transco’s natural gas pipeline, said the company made an offer to settle that works for everyone. “The settlement will still allow Virginia Waters and Wetlands to undertake other conservation projects on the property and will also help them to be able to expand their conservation efforts throughout the area,” Jensen said Tuesday, Feb. 18. “I believe this worked out to be a win, win, win for all involved.” The proposed, 30-acre wetland bank, called the Miller Stream Bank Phase II, would have restored 6,700 linear feet of stream channel and 30 acres of wetlands and associated riparian and upland buffers on the Catlett property. The firm estimated the value of the proposed wetland bank at $5 million. Prior to the agreement, Virginia Waters and Wetlands Vice President Andrew Hindman likened Transco’s actions to “bullying.” The firm’s President Joseph Ivers said Transco was attempting to intimidate the firm into accepting “pennies-on-thedollar” for a deal that would kill the wetland mitigation project. Now, it appears the parties have reached an agreement. The details of the settlement have not been disclosed, however, because both Virginia Waters and Wetlands and Jensen have signed non-disclosure agreements with Transco. Prior to coming to an agreement, Virginia Waters and Wetlands and the farm owners said a resolution could be reached if the Transco offered “fair compensation” for the loss of the wetland bank on the property. Virginia Waters and Wetlands Environmental Consultant Allison Austin said the firm signed a non-disclosure agreement with the pipeline company. Transco spokesperson Erica Jones said the pipeline company is pleased with the agreement. “Construction is underway on this critical energy infrastructure project,” Jones said. “Once completed, the Southeastern Trail Expansion will provide additional reliable service to utility and local distribution companies and lower heating costs for consumers.” The new pipeline, part of Transco’s Southeastern Trail Expansion Project, will run alongside Transco’s existing natural gas pipeline in Prince William and Fauquier counties. The expansion includes 8 miles of new 42-inch diameter pipeline as well as upgrades
to natural gas compressor stations in Chatham, Scottsville and Manassas. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission gave Transco the goahead to begin construction on Jan. 31. The company aims to have the project completed and in service by November. The conflict stemmed from a disagreement over the placement of the wetlands mitigation bank on the property. The environmental firm and farm owners claimed the pipeline’s route through Fauquier County would upend plans for their planned wetland mitigation bank and violate a conservation easement on the property related to the wetland bank. Virginia Waters and Wetlands and Catlett property owners began designing the wetland bank in January 2018, shortly before Transco filed a federal application for the pipeline expansion project in April 2018. Wetland mitigation banks are a system of credits devised to ensure ecological loss to streams and wetlands from new development is compensated for by preserving and restoring wetlands, natural habitats and streams in other areas. Developers purchase credits from mitigation banks as a means of offsetting impacts to wetlands or streams as a result of development. “This isn’t just a cause for naturalists,” Jensen said prior to reaching the agreement. “Developers will also suffer the effects of this, as valuable, hard-to-come-by stream bank credits would be lost. There is mounting demand for housing in our area that would be harmed without these credits. Even the gas company itself needs these credits.” The wetland bank project was working its way through state and federal approval processes while Transco’s plans to expand its pipeline were pending federal approval. When FERC approved the Southeastern Trail Expansion’s Environmental Assessment in October 2019, the conflict began to bubble over. Representatives of pipeline company claimed the conservation easement and proposed wetland bank violated the existing pipeline’s right-of-way. They requested that Virginia Waters and Wetlands and the farm’s owners halt plans for the wetland bank or face condemnation proceedings. Prior to the agreement, Virginia Waters and Wetlands and the farm owners said a resolution could be reached if Transco offered “fair compensation” for the loss of the wetland bank on the property. “We’d have to hold our noses over this one because it would mean we wouldn’t have conservation mitigation on our property,” Jensen said at the time. But [the settlement] would provide the funds for Virginia Waters and Wetlands, “to put similar easements elsewhere in the area.” The pipeline will cross 20 waterbodies, including five perennial

The project will increase the horsepower at a natural gas compressor station in Manassas by 20%. Transco’s mainline, which is being expanded in Prince William and Fauquier, delivers natural gas along nearly 1,800 miles of pipeline from South Texas and New York City. The Southeastern Trail Expansion is expected to cost $405 million. The Southeastern Trail Expansion is one of two pipeline projects planned for Prince William and Fauquier counties. Virginia Natural Gas, a subsidiary of Southern Company Gas, is seeking state approval
to construct 9.5 miles of new pipeline in both counties to connect its existing pipeline system to the expanding Transco pipeline system. The new VNG pipeline is needed to deliver natural gas to a new privately financed gas plant known as “C4GT” planned for Charles City County, outside Williamsburg. The company also wants to build a new compressor station and has selected two potential 25-acre sites near the intersection of the Transco pipeline and the new VNG line located on Nokesville Road in Prince William County for its construction. Calls from state and local officials, as well as several local environmental groups, to halt the pipelines’ construction have so far had little effect. Reach Daniel Berti at dberti@ fauquier.com

Va. budget funds study to extend Metro to PWC Metro says core expansion must come first By Daniel Berti
Times Staff Writer
The new state budget now being considered by Virginia lawmakers includes language calling for a long-sought study to determine what it would take to extend Metro’s Blue Line from its current terminus in Springfield to Lorton, Woodbridge, Potomac Mills, and Quantico. Sen. Scott Surovell, D-36th, says money for a Blue Line feasibility study would assess the possibility of extending Metro to alleviate commuter congestion and improve quality of life for working families. “I have been fighting for this for three years, and with the support of fellow legislators, we can bring vast improvement to our transportation system with ripple effects throughout Northern Virginia. Not only is there a positive impact on the quality of life with a Metro option, but moving people by rail uses less energy than moving them by gas-powered vehicles. It reduces our community’s carbon footprint,” Surovell said in a statement released Friday. The study is expected to cost about $2 million, but the budget does not specify exactly how much should be spent. A timeline for the study has not yet been determined. Federal, state and local officials have discussed studying a Metro extension into Prince William County for years. Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-11th, has long had a bill to request federal funding for the effort, but it has failed to gain traction. In 2015, a Metro official told the Prince William Board of County Supervisors that extending Metro further south would not be possible until the system solves its “core capacity” issues at the Rosslyn Metro station. Trains on the Orange, Blue and Silver lines travel through the central hub, which cannot currently accommodate any more trains, Metro officials say. Surovell and newly elected Prince William County supervisors say the system must nonetheless study how such an expansion might be made

Surovell obtained funding in 2011 to study extending the Yellow Line to Hybla Valley in Fairfax County. That study identified economic, engineering and funding feasibility of the extension by looking at ridership, system impacts and trip impacts, Surovell said in his statement. Del. Luke Torian, D-52nd, and chair of the House Appropriations Committee, said transportation infrastructure is a top priority for the Prince William County delegation. Torian said the study would look not just at extending Metro but also at the possibility of bus rapid transit. “We are happy with this budget item as it requires cooperation and buy-in from both Fairfax and Prince William Counties,” Torian said. “A [Department of Rail and Public Transportation] evaluation should produce useful information on the feasibility of extending transportation options such as the Metro Blue Line and bus rapid transit into Prince William County, which will help the General Assembly and the localities take the best and most informed next steps.” Prince William Board Chair Anne Wheeler, D-At Large, said studying a potential Metro extension is a step in the right direction. “Residents of Prince William continue to experience some of the longest commutes in the nation. As the board weighs options to alleviate traffic congestion and plan for the anticipated
population growth, viable multimodal transportation must be part of the conversation,” Wheeler said in a statement. Supervisor Margaret Franklin, D-Woodbridge, who represents several of the neighborhoods included in the study, said extending the Blue Line would improve the viability of the county’s transit system and increase economic development in Woodbridge. “Woodbridge has consistently been burdened with heavy traffic congestion, which has negatively impacted the welfare of our community. As a commuter, I understand firsthand the challenges that exists along the I 95 and Route 1 corridor,” Franklin said in a statement. Supervisor Kenny Boddye, D-Occoquan, said the region needs an all-of-the-above approach to transit, but said Metro stands out for its ability to spark economic growth. “In addition to shortening commute times, extending the Blue Line to Prince William would allow us to reach our full economic potential as a county. A station in the Occoquan District – at Potomac Mills – would make Prince William County a destination for shoppers far and wide and would be a big boost to local businesses. Where Metro goes, investment follows,” Boddye said. Supervisor Andrea Bailey, D-Potomac, who represents the potential terminus of the Metro extension, said providing an initial study for the Metro Blue Line is fundamental to Prince William County’s growth. “This study would be the example of how we as legislators are listening to and being respectful of the needs of the community to ease traffic and promote multi-module transportation options to our community. I am in total support of this monumental initiative to create a study for the need and performance of the Metro in Prince William County,” Bailey said. If the directive remains in the General Assembly’s approved state budget, the DRPT director will need to submit a report of its findings to the chairs of the House Appropriations Committee and the Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee by Dec. 1, 2021.

STATE BRIEFS Virginia lawmakers pass bills to combat human trafficking The Virginia General Assembly has passed two bills intended to help social workers in the fight against minor-involved human trafficking. The legislation allows local social services departments to interview the reported child victims or their siblings without the consent and presence of a parent or legal guardian, school personnel or an individual standing in place of a parent. Human trafficking, considered modern-day slavery, involves the use of force, fraud or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act, according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Sex trafficking is when a trafficker exhibits control over the victim and the victim receives something of value in exchange for performing sex acts. Traffickers recruit at locations such as middle and high schools, courthouses, foster care, group homes, bus stations, shelters,
bars, restaurants, shopping malls and social media sites, according to the Virginia State Crime Commission. The agency concludes that child sex trafficking intersects with other problems such as drug addiction, runaway youth, child abuse, domestic violence and gang activity. Human trafficking victims are forced into a wide range of labor sectors, ranging from sweat shops and field work to domestic service, according to ICE. By U.S. law, a person under the age of 18 engaged in prostitution is a victim of trafficking, the agency said. As of June 30, there were 98 human trafficking cases reported to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline that mentioned Virginia, according to the organization. In 2018, the hotline received 198 human trafficking reports that referenced Virginia, up from 158 cases that mentioned the commonwealth the previous year. RODNEY ROBINSON Capital News Service
Two Democratic no votes on gun bills came from local lawmakers Del. Lee Carter has been one of only a few Democrats in the House of Delegates to vote “no” on several bills in Gov. Ralph Northam’s proposed gun package, including a proposed “red flag” law and a ban on the sale of assault-style weapons. Sen. Scott Surovell, meanwhile, helped kill the assault weapons ban in the state Senate, a vote he explained via social media by saying the bill needs improvement. Northam endorsed eight new gun laws ahead of the 2020 session, of which Carter voted for only half. Carter, D-50th, a former U.S. Marine veteran and firearms owner, voted in favor of bills to establish universal background checks, report lost and stolen firearms, impose penalties for improper storage of firearms and prohibit the possession of firearms for individuals subject to protective orders. Carter voted against bills that would ban the sale of assault weapons; establish extreme risk protective orders – sometimes called “red flag laws;” rein-
state Virginia’s one-handgun-a-month rule; and allow localities to adopt ordinances governing the possession of firearms in their jurisdictions. Carter said he voted against the assault weapons ban because he didn’t agree with the definition of “assault firearms” included in the bill. The bill would have banned the sale of any semi-automatic, center-fire rifles with a magazine capacity over 12 rounds. But the proposed definition also included a long list of rifle add-ons, such as pistol grips, folding stocks and flash suppressors, that would qualify semi-automatic rifles as assault weapons. Surovell, D-36th, said he fully supports increasing the regulation of assault weapons but said the bill needs more work. “The votes in the Senate have not existed to pass the bill since we gaveled in, and the bill has numerous issues that needed to be refined,” Surovell said. “Today, I voted to continue the conversation in the crime commission to come up with a product that might pass and so we can focus on legislation that can pass this session.” DANIEL BERTI

PUBLIC SAFETY/OPINION

My vote against the assault weapon ban bill explained Last week the Senate Judiciary Committee considered a House of Delegates’ bill to regulate assault rifles and other firearm attachments. I have always supported stronger regulation of assault rifles. I lived through the 2002 D.C. sniper attacks, crouching in my car while getting gas to avoid being shot. In 2016, three Prince William County police officers, including one of my constituents, were shot with an AR-15. Officer Ashley Guindon was killed on her first day on the job. I do not support civilian ownership of weapons of war that are unnecessary for hunting or self-protection. Experts estimate that there are 5 to 10 million assault weapons in the U.S., including at least 100,000 in Virginia. The proposed House bill made it a felony to sell or transfer assault weapons, certain magazines and silencers, and had no buyback program for assault rifles. It also would have made it a felony to possess certain magazines and silencers after two years. We repeatedly advised the House that the votes did not exist in the Senate, but the House chose to send the bill over by a one vote margin with three House Democrats voting “no” and one not voting. In our chamber, multiple senators were concerned that the House bill did not “grandfather” guns owned by existing owners and did not specify legal disposal rules. They also questioned the absence of an explicit, funded, gun buyback program, which could turn a ban into a constitutional taking requiring government compensation. Also, senators pointed out that many of the assault weapon features described in the bill are also found on other types of weapons, which would likely create confusion for law enforcement officers and civilians and make it unclear exactly which guns were banned. Such senators were clear they would not support the bill to ban assault weapons this session. We have made significant prog-
GUEST OPINION SEN. SCOTT SUROVELL ress on firearm violence prevention. We have passed (1) universal background checks, (2) reinstated Virginia’s “one-gun-a-month” purchase limit, (3) emergency risk protection or “red flag” orders, (4) authorized local governments to regulate guns in public buildings, parks and events, (5) allowed firearm forfeiture during protective order proceedings, (6) banned bump stocks, and (7) increased penalties for child access to guns. Legislation to broaden the crimes that surrender firearms rights in connection with misdemeanor stalking and sexual battery convictions are pending along with my voluntary “Do Not Sell” list legislation. Passing these bills is unprecedented and historic. With two weeks left, we have two dozen major bills on education, transportation, energy, environment, labor, criminal justice reform, equity and a $110 billion budget to consider. The legislature has sent at least 15 of my bills to Gov. Ralph Northam, including my legislation to prohibit holding a cell phone while driving and a bill banning conversion therapy. My legislation to tighten up Virginia’s loose predatory lending laws awaits the governor’s signature, and predatory lending establishments, like those dotting the U.S. 1 corridor, must stop charging 120-400% interest rates on 6-month loans and will likely pack up and leave. This is an historic session. I hope you will email your comments to me at scott@scottsurovell.org.

Using parkland for schools is a bad idea Rosemount Lewis Park is open! It’s been ignored by elected officials and the gate is not supposed to confuse people, but it does. Our elected officials have deemed it to be an underutilized park, so the county and schools wish to give the parkland to the schools. This community in the Brentsville District located in Manassas will lose over 50% of its parkland if the park is donated to the school division. Concerned Brentsville residents are asking that the acreage taken from the park and given to the school division be replaced with an equal or greater acreage of new parkland, located within easy walking distance of the community. We also are concerned that if the Prince William Board of County
Supervisors approves the land transfer, what other parks are next? This decision will set a precedent for future school sites to be designated in current community parkland. To date, the county has never given a park to the school division, despite the division’s multiple attempts. If they do now, more parks will be on the cutting block. This should matter to all of us. Turning parks into schools is not how we build up communities and enhance our quality of life. We can do better. Let your supervisor know that our families deserve to be able to walk/bike to a public park or community center. MAGGIE HANSFORD Brentsville

Forest Park’s Eversley and Miller win state titles Woodbridge’s Mancia, Potomac’s Ayi-Bonte also reign supreme at Class 6 wrestling meet By Jeff Malmgren Times Staff Writer
Four Prince William County wrestlers won Class 6 wrestling state championships Saturday as part of the county contingent that claimed 18 medals overall at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax. Josh Mancia won the 285-pound title to help Woodbridge finish third in the team standings with 119 points, while Forest Park placed fourth (108 points) with Cade Eversley winning at 220 and Carson Miller at 126. Potomac’s Emmanuel Ayi-Bonte added the 195-pound championship by beating Colgan’s Isaiah Causey 6-5 in triple overtime. Potomac took 16th with 35 points. Oscar Smith won the team title with 194.5, followed by runner-up Kellam with 120. Battlefield (41.5 points) placed 12th, Colgan (28) was 22nd, and GarField and Osbourn tied for 32nd with 15 each. Hylton placed 34th with 13 points, Patriot took 39th with nine and Osbourn Park and Stonewall Jackson tied for 44th with three apiece. Woodbridge’s third place team finish was fueled by a number of star performers. Mancia won the 285-pound final over Chantilly’s Andres Sagastume 9-5, while the Vikings’ Chris Nguyen was the 106 runner-up and Sammy
Congleton was the 120 runner-up. Woodbridge’s Joel Diaz was third at 182, Brian Nguyen fourth at 113, Derick Dalla Costa sixth at 160 and Kwadwo Acheampong sixth at 220. “They work hard every day,” Woodbridge coach Ty Knapp said after the Vikings won the Region 6B championship last week. “They’re great kids. They’re great people. They do the little things right. “We had a pretty tough schedule this year,” he said. “I think it had them pretty well-prepared.” For Forest Park, Miller used a 17-2 technical fall in 5:56 to win the 126 final over Ocean Lakes’ Liam Murphy while Eversley won the 220 final 4-3 over Kellam’s Carter Hatchell. Also earning medals for the Bruins were Brendan Marcy (second, 145), Charlie Lopez (third, 170) and Anthony Orlando (fifth, 106). Eversley led all county wrestlers with 28 team points as he recorded pins of 50 seconds, 41 seconds and 1:24. Battlefield’s Dyson Dunham took third at 120, with Alex Ward fifth at 170. Hylton’s Tyler Tanev placed fourth at 106 in the greatest underdog performance of the day: he entered as the No. 16 seed. Forest Park’s Miller similarly won the 126 championship as a No. 10 seed. Gar-Field’s Adrian Romero fin-

Brentsville’s Carayiannis is state champ at 132 pounds
Brentsville’s John Carayiannis ended his high school wrestling career as a Class 3 champion. The 132-pound senior defeated Christiansburg’s Garrett Kuchan 7-4 to win the title after he placed second each of the past three seasons. Carayiannis was the 132 runner-up as a ju-
nior, the 120 runner-up as a sophomore and the 113 runner-up as a freshman. As a team Brentsville placed fourth with 151 points, while Manassas Park took 24th with 17 points. Other Brentsville standouts were 182-pounder Kosei Cuyler, who took second. Adding third-place finishes were Foster Cardinale at 120, Collin Brady at 145 and Yuri Smaltz at 170, while Jackson Stroud took fourth at 106 and Tyler Nix placed sixth at 285.

Prince William Medical Center opens $4M heart ‘cath lab’ Staff Reports Novant Health UVA Health System’s Prince William Medical Center, located in Manassas, recently announced the opening of its second cardiac catheterization laboratory. The hospital’s first cath lab opened in 2011. The second lab was added to help meet the region’s “growing” demand for heart and vascular services, including coronary artery, vascular and electrophysiology procedures, according to a medical center news release. “We made this $4 million investment because we’re committed to the community and need to provide the cardiac services they require close to home,” Dr. Stephen Smith, president and chief operating officer of Novant Health UVA Health System Prince William Center and Haymarket Medical Center, said in the news release. “This second cath lab will allow us to handle our increased volumes and provide both emergency and elective procedures in a timely manner.” Prince William Medical Center earned the Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Acute Myocardial Infarction and Heart Failure in part for

Computer repair is like detective work; gather clues carefully Last week, when a client called “Holmes” picked up his repaired system, I chuckled a bit. Am I a kind of “Dr. Watson”? Or rather, Sherlock? Maybe so, because fixing computer problems is often detective work. Let me share some insights into the detective work of computer troubleshooting. First of all, it is important to get all the facts. What happened? When? Did anything else happen before? A recent Windows update? Hardware change? Unusual message on the screen? As one of my employees often says, “A man’s life ... often depends on a mere scrap of information.” Computer problems are usually caused by either a hardware or software glitch, sometimes both. Once in a while, my diagnostic procedure pinpoints hardware errors caused by bad RAM chips or motherboard issues. The main source of hardware problems, however, is more likely a failing hard drive. Hard drives generally do not just suddenly stop working but gradually get slower and start corrupting files and data. I recommend that the hard drive should be replaced after three to five years. The best upgrade is to have the much faster and more robust solid-state hard drive installed. You should also make regular backups onto an external hard drive or into
KLAUS FUECHSEL WHAT’S UP DOK?
the cloud to minimize data loss. When working on a computer, I make a temporary backup of a client’s hard drive so we can restore it to the way it was when the system came in, just in case something goes south during the repair process. If the hardware checks out fine, the culprit is probably lurking in the software. Software updates, especially for Windows, are supposed to fix known issues and add functionality and security, but sometimes they create new problems. (No programmer is perfect, and there are just too many variations and system configurations to test completely.) And then there are the “bad guys” -- viruses, malware, adware and more that can badly mess up a system. They need to be cleaned out and all traces removed. The most difficult cases are problems that occur only sporadically. If it can be reproduced, then you have a good shot at identification and solution. If it only happens once in a
while when you change a parameter, then you have to wait; when it pops up again, try your best. Here, again, it takes intuitive detective work. Analyze the information you have and try to narrow things down. There are log files that one can check and tools to run. Sometimes, I have to replace components one by one and hope for a change for the better. This is why I try to get as many details from the client as possible. Try taking a screenshot when the problem happens, perhaps with your cell phone. It helps a lot if you write down the time when it happened and what you were doing just before it occurred. Sometimes the problem is simply a “user error.” In any case, once I think a tricky problem has been resolved, I try to explain the cause and tell the client what to do or not to do so it won’t happen again. If you prefer to attempt fixing a computer problem yourself, you can try Googling for answers from the “big oracle of the 21st century,” i.e. the internet. The challenge here is to ask the right questions, otherwise you get too many unrelated answers. Be aware that some computer help websites are “bad” and may inject viruses into your system. And a blog solution might not help you at all, even though it helped others. Please apply common sense and be careful
when downloading tools, especially those marketed as “free.” They might look legit, but could be malicious. Decades ago, I was taught to never change a running system, but nowadays one can’t avoid updates. Windows 10 updates itself, whether you want it to or not (you can only postpone it for a little while). And unfortunately, if there is a virus or something nasty hiding in the system, the update can mess up or freeze everything. Going back to Sherlock Holmes, it’s good to remember his maxim: “When you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” This definitely applies to computer detective work. Once you’ve dealt with the probable and excluded the impossible, then you have the best chance of catching and eliminating that pesky computer bug. Klaus Fuechsel founded Warrenton’s Dok Klaus Computer Care in 2002 and is known for his German-American humor and computer house calls. He and his award-winning tech team work hard to save data and solve their clients’ computer cases. Any questions? Ask the Dok at 540-428-2376 or Klaus@ DokKlaus.com or go to www.dokklaus.com.

OBITUARIES
Prince William Times | www.princewilliamtimes.com | February 26, 2020
OBITUARIES Donnie Lee O’Bannion
In memory of
Julia Elizabeth Hillbish
Art Pruden who went home to be with the Lord on February 25, 2017. You are loved and missed very much. Rest in peace.
Your loving wife, children, grandchildren and great-grand children
Michael Thomas Mountain Sr. Michael Thomas Mountain Sr. was born in warm and sunny Orange County, California on June 29, 1961. After battling pancreatic cancer for two years, he peacefully passed away in Arlington County, Virginia on February 20, 2020. Mike was an EMT, firefighter, professional photobomber, percussionist in the marching band, restaurant manager, actor, prankster, member of VFW, superhero, and avid lover of stashing candy into cupboards whenever pushed into dietary restrictions. This burley military policeman was prepared to serve his country when necessary. But don’t let his exterior fool you; this same patriot could also quote the lines to top Disney movies and Broadway musicals. When it came to the people in his like, he enjoyed making them laugh, spending time with them, and playing tricks on them when they weren’t looking. It is assumed Mike has passed to the other side. Either that, or he is really taking this disappearance trick a bit too far. If found, contact his wife Bonnie; his children Michael, Brett or Colton; his grandchildren Ella, Olivia, Logan, or Scarlett; his siblings Theresa, Robert, Debbie, or Margo; or his parents Carol and David Kettela, Joe and Sue Mountain, or Nellie Dodd. You can also reach out to one of his hundreds of nieces and nephews.
Ronnie Earl Graham Ronnie Earl Graham, age 87 of Wytheville, VA died on Thursday, February 13, 2020 peacefully at home. Ronnie was born on August 5, 1932 in Bluefield, WV to William Earl and Ruth Kirby Graham. Ronnie was an educator by heart and touched many lives throughout his long career. After graduating from Bluefield College in Virginia and a term in the Air Force, he received his Masters in English from University of Virginia. He then pursued a teaching career that led him to an assistant and then principalship in schools in Prince William County. He retired as the Director of Personnel, Prince William County Schools, and ended a career that he loved and where he earned the respect of so many. It was his love of the outdoors and his family, that then led him to return to the mountains of Southwest Virginia. It was in Wythe County, Virginia, where he settled and enjoyed the beautiful and calm surroundings of an old log cabin and swinging bridge with his equally adventurous wife. When time called for a simpler way of life, they moved into the nearby town of Wytheville, VA where they lived out his 87 wonderful years. Ronnie’s family was the most important part of his life. He cultivated a home full of love and understanding that equaled no other. His kind heart and sense of humor made everyone know a sense of belonging especially his wife and three sons.“Country roads, take me home to the place I belong.” He was preceded in death by his son, Michael Keith Graham and is survived by his wife, Mary Sauls Graham; his sons Randall Warren Graham and partner Stephen Oates, and Christopher Blake Graham and wife Rose Graham and grandson Blake Christopher Graham; his sister Linda and husband Mat Walinski; niece Elizabeth Walinski and nephew Mark Walinski and his beloved pet buddy, Bennet. The Family will be honoring his life with a celebration of family and friends in Northern Virginia in the Spring. Donations made be made in his memory to a charity of your choice.
