Wheeler promises quick repeal of ‘2nd Amendment sanctuary’ measure Stewart, outgoing GOP chairman, to introduce resolution

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Corey Stewart, the outgoing Republican at-large chairman of the Prince William Board of Supervisors, said Monday he will introduce a measure to declare the county a

“Second Amendment sanctuary” this week. But Chairman-elect Ann Wheeler, a Democrat, says the new board would repeal any such resolution when it takes over in January.

Stewart announced his intent to carry the resolution during a Monday morning interview on WMAL, a conservative talk radio station based in Washington. More than 20 other Virginia localities have passed similar resolutions and an additional 30 are discussing them ahead of the 2020 General Assembly session.

Democrats won control of both houses of the state legislature – as well as the Prince William County Board of Supervisors -- in November.

“Second Amendment sanctuary” resolutions passed in other localities aim to ensure that local tax dollars are not used to restrict Second Amendment rights. However, the measures do not exempt Virginia residents from having to comply with any new gun laws approved by state lawmakers in the coming year.

home in Stafford was worth it, Hayes said.

“It’s my favorite versus the [mall] in Fredericksburg,” Hayes said of Potomac Mills. “There’s more deals and there’s more variety of clothing.”

Hayes’ daughter Jaayla, 11, said she and her friends still prefer coming out to the mall to online shopping.

“It’s better to hang out with your friends,” Jaayla Hayes said. “You see people you know and you can socialize.”

Potomac Mills, the sprawling discount mall that in many ways put Prince William County on the map, is celebrating its 34th holiday season. As usual, the mall has extended its shopping hours between now and Dec. 26, the peak shopping season for the mall’s 220 stores.

Some store managers say they are optimistic about the holiday season. Sales have already proven strong this fall, said Wesley Willis, 25, who’s spent the last seven years at Potomac Mills, working his way up from sales positions at Guess and Pac Sun to his current job as manager at Aeropostale.

“It’s always been a really busy mall. We get a lot of tourWesley Willis ists. We see a lot of people, especially on weekends,” Willis said.

“It’s pretty much always busy.”

‘It’s pretty much always busy’ MALL, from page 1 retail sales in the U.S. in 2012 to 14.3% in 2018, according to U.S. Department of Commerce -- many brick-and-mortar stores have suffered. According to the real estate research firm Costar, a record 10,600 retail outlets have closed in 2019 as of mid-November, a significant jump from the 5,400 that closed in all of 2018.

Some of those closings have affected Potomac Mills, which recently lost its Gymboree, Charlotte Russe and Payless Shoe Source stores as those companies closed all their outlets nationwide. Gander Mountain, a massive outdoor gear store that occupied a 78,000-square-foot space on the outskirts of the mall, closed in 2017 and has yet to be replaced by another outlet.

But retailers such as buybuy Baby, Books-A-Million and Sears, which have shuttered stores in other malls, have kept their Potomac Mills stores open. Generally, Potomac Mills has not experienced the same loss of foot traffic that’s plagued other shopping, Willis and other store managers said.

Vincent Heslip, a manager at BooksA-Million, said “the mall is doing pretty OK” in terms of attracting crowds, despite the rise of online shopping.

Heslip attributes Potomac Mills’ ongoing success to its location on Interstate 95, between Washington, D.C, and Fredericksburg, which makes it a magnet for tourists and locals, alike. Heslip said his store gets a fair share of international visitors.

“Even with the decline of physical shopping just having that [location] makes us a pit stop for a lot of people,” he said.

Stewart, outgoing GOP chairman, to introduce resolution SANCTUARY, from page 1 ordinance, and we’re not proposing something that’s going to conflict with federal or state law.”

It’s unclear how county law enforcement would be able to skirt enforcing new gun laws enacted by the Virginia General Assembly.

Wheeler sent a press release shortly after Stewart’s announcement Monday morning pushing back against his proposal.

“I want to be clear – any efforts by the outgoing Board to hamper the enforcement of new gun safety legislation passed in Virginia will be immediately repealed when the new board takes office in January,” Wheeler said. “Change has come to Prince William County. The residents voted, and the board will reflect their voice.”

Democratic lawmakers, who will have majority control of both the House of Delegates, state Senate and governor’s mansion for the first time in a generation, have pre-filed over a dozen gun-related bills ahead of the

Prince William’s proximity to Washington, D.C. and I-95 is likely what drew the mall’s developers to the county in the first place, said Roger Snyder who was Prince William County’s planning director when the mall opened in 1985.

Prince William County’s population, at 160,000, was about a third of what it is now when developers approached the county with the idea of opening a huge outlet mall at the site, which was then little more than overgrown farmland. There was little opposition, Snyder said.

“We were struggling in economic development,” Snyder said of the county at the time. “We wanted to improve our economic development status, and we wanted to rise above the reputation of being that redneck county south of Fairfax.”

The idea of developing the site as a mall seemed like a no-brainer, Snyder said.

“We saw this picture of this regional mall as a giant cash register,” he added.

The mall opened in 1985 and was a magnet for regional shoppers from almost day one. A few years after opening, it would rank among the top tourist destinations in Virginia, an achievement that concerned those who thought Virginia Beach or Williamsburg should be attracting more visitors.

Over the years, the mall grew from an initial 650,000 square feet to more than 1.6 million square feet after a major expansion in 1993. It now boasts about 9,000 parking spaces, many of which were full this past weekend.

After the mall’s opening, additional shopping centers spouted up around the original property, bringing bigbox stores such as Best Buy, Wal-Mart and Sam’s Club along with dozens of smaller retailers and restaurants.

2020 session, including measures requiring universal background checks, enabling “extreme-risk protective orders,” which would allow a judge to remove weapons from individuals deemed a danger to themselves or others, and bans on assault-style weapons.

In the past, Virginia Republicans have stymied Democrats’ proposed gun legislation, including last July when Republicans voted to postpone and ultimately cancel a special session on gun violence called by Gov. Ralph Northam (D).

At the Nov. 26 board of supervisors’ meeting, about 70 gun-rights activists lined up to ask the board to declare Prince William County a “Second Amendment sanctuary.”

But it was unclear until today whether any supervisor would take up the cause.

County resident Joe Genarro, 58, said lawmakers heading to Richmond next year want to, “trample on the rights of law-abiding citizens.”

“I respectfully ask that you guys lead the way and join us in protecting our constitutional rights,” Generro said at the meeting.

Supervisors will hold a public hearing and vote on the measure during the 7:30 p.m. session of their

“Other businesses have come in and said, ‘I want what they’re having,’” said Snyder, a pilot who now takes aerial photographs for media and other clients. “In this case, people saw how popular the mall was in the early going, and it still is. When I fly over it, you see lots of cars there.”

Snyder attributes Potomac Mills’ ongoing success to its appeal as a destination not only for shopping but for spending time with family and friends.

“With a mall of this size, it becomes a social thing. Women go together, like my wife and her friends,” Snyder said. “People just enjoy a total experience. They might be doing less buying than they did before, but people just like the mall experience. …

Once you park once and get in there, there’s all this stuff you can see.”

Shoppers take a break outside Five Below during a recent Sunday afternoon.

Initial reports say spending was strong over the recent Black Friday shopping weekend – even at the nation’s malls. Exact numbers were not yet available at press time, but news reports indicate the crowds were mostly living up to the National Retail Federation’s prediction that sales would rise between 3.8% and 4.2%, an increase from the 2.1% sales bump seen during November and December 2018.

Steve Yalof, CEO of Simon Property Group’s Premium Outlets, which owns Potomac Mills, told the Washington Post that customer traffic at its East Coast outlets was up on Black Friday compared with a year ago.

Potomac Mills General Manager Jen Snitselaar declined to release specific sales information about the Woodbridge outlet mall either for the 2019 holiday season or more broadly.

In an emailed statement, Snitselaar did not answer questions about the mall’s sales-per-square-foot, a common measure of a shopping mall’s fiscal health, or its annual and

holiday foot traffic.

“We don’t make predictions on mall traffic, but we’re seeing lots of shopping bags, busy Santa set activity and full parking lots – always a good sign and indicator of a busy holiday shopping season,” Snitselaar said.

Regarding what the mall is doing to keep sales healthy despite the rise in online sales, Snitselaar, too, noted the mall has tried to capitalize on the overall experience of visiting the mall.

“Shopping is a truly social activity, and lends itself to spending time with friends and family, especially during the holidays,” she said.

Snitselaar said the mall is working to add to shoppers’ experiences by attracting new businesses focused not just on selling but on entertaining. The openings next year of the ZavaZone indoor adventure park and the Round 1 arcade and game center are two examples.

“We provide an experience shoppers can’t get behind a laptop or phone,” she said.

meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 10. It will be the final meeting of the outgoing board before the new board takes over.

The current board has a 6-2 Republican majority.

Woodbridge Supervisor-elect Margaret Franklin (D) issued a statement Monday opposing the proposed sanctuary resolution, echoing Wheeler’s stance on the issue.

“I am appalled that the outgoing Board of County Supervisors

would attempt to pass a resolution without considering the harm that gun violence has had on residents throughout the Commonwealth and the impact on our local community,” Franklin said.

“I stand with Chairwoman-elect Ann Wheeler in opposing any efforts by the outgoing Board to hamper the enforcement of new gun safety legislation passed in Virginia.”

Surovell, Foy pitch public defenders’ office for Prince William

By Daniel Berti

Times Staff Writer

Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park are the only Northern Virginia locales that aren’t served by a public defenders’ office. But that could change in 2020 if a bill introduced by state Sen. Scott Surovell reaches the governor’s desk.

Surovell, D-36th, pre-filed a bill for the upcoming General Assembly session to create a public defenders’ office for all three localities. Prince William County is the largest Virginia locality not served by a public defender’s office.

“This bill will improve access to and quality of justice for residents in Prince William County and the Cities of Manassas and Manassas Park.

We need to offer public defender services to fulfill the constitutional rights of Virginians in our community,” Surovell said in a press release.

Public defenders’ offices are state-funded and staffed by attorneys who provide legal representation to individuals who can’t afford a lawyer. Jurisdictions without public defenders’ offices rely on court-appointed lawyers to represent poor defendants.

Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy

Sen. Scott Surovell

The state pays court-appointed attorneys $120 per district court misdemeanor and between $445 and $1,235 for felonies, depending on whether they are ‘non-serious’ or punishable by more than 20 years.

The new office will cost state taxpayers around $200,000 per year, according to the press release.

Del. Jennifer Carroll Foy, D-2nd, the first public defender to serve in the Virginia General Assembly, will carry an identical bill in the House of Delegates. The bill is one of several criminal justice reform bills she plans to introduce ahead of the 2020 General Assembly session.

“I know how important it is that our most vulnerable residents have adequate representation. Prince William County deserves the same services as our neighboring jurisdictions. All Virginians deserve access

to justice,” Carroll Foy said.

Prince William’s public defenders’ office would likely become one of the largest offices in the state because of the county’s size, comparable to offices in Richmond, Virginia Beach and Fairfax County which employ over 20 full-time attorneys, according to Maria Jankowski, deputy executive director for Virginia Indigent Defense Commission.

The legislation has received the endorsement of two Democrats newly elected to Prince William’s Board of County Supervisors, at-large Chairman-Elect Ann Wheeler and Occoquan Supervisor-Elect Kenny Boddye.

“Creating a public defenders’ office in Prince William County will provide access to justice for our most vulnerable residents. It is exactly the kind of thing we need to do in order to become a more inclusive community,” Wheeler said.

If the bill is approved, the board of supervisors could decide to contribute additional local funding to supplement the salaries of public defenders. Only four public defender offices – Alexandria, Arlington, Charlottesville and Fairfax – currently receive local funding.

Report: Staff shortage hinders jail mental health program

Mason studies new medical school in Manassas Staff Reports

Times Staff Writer

Staff shortages are hindering a state-funded mental health pilot program for female inmates at the Prince William-Manassas Regional Adult Detention Center even as the jail is reporting a number of successes since the pilot launched in 2017, according to a recent evaluation filed with state officials.

The program aims to reduce recidivism among the jail’s female inmates who suffer from mental illness and provides funding for two mental health specialists, a jail therapist and a re-entry specialist who provide regular mental health screenings, group therapy, individual counseling and re-entry counseling to women held at the jail, according to the October report.

The re-entry specialist position has remained vacant for more than 18 months, however, forcing the jail therapist to assume the duties of both positions, according to the report.

Maj. Amanda Lambert, director of support services at the jail, said the re-entry therapist position still had not been filled as of Nov. 26.

An additional two staff members in the mental health department unexpectedly left in 2019, forcing other staff members to cover the responsibilities of these positions while also continuing to complete their own tasks, the report said.

“These shortages made it difficult to devote time to grant programming and to complete assessments in a timely manner,” the report said.

Even with significant staff shortages, the report identified a decrease in the number of incidents involving harm, assaults against inmates or staff, fights involving inmates and suicide attempts since 2016, the year prior to the program’s implementation.

The report noted that staff credited much of the reduction in incidents with jail staff to their abili-

faith Community Engagement, who worked with Surovell to craft the legislation, estimated it would cost the county about $295,000 a year to provide a 15% salary supplement to the attorneys hired to represent indigent defendants.

Commonwealth’s Attorney-elect Amy Ashworth (D) said at an Oct. 20 community forum that the addition of a public defenders’ office is “long overdue.”

“Our community is too large, too diverse and the cases brought by police too complex to rely upon a small group of attorneys – who volunteer their time basically, because the rate they are being paid is so low – to represent indigent defendants,” Ashworth said.

Ashworth said that as a prosecutor in with the Prince William County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office she often faced court-appointed attorneys who were “too busy or too inexperienced” to effectively defend their clients.

There are 32 public defenders’ offices in Virginia serving 53 localities. The last time a new public defenders’ office was established in Virginia was 2005.

Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center is one of six Virginia jails participating in the pilot program. It is the only jail that receives specific funding to address the needs of female inmates.

There are typically around 100 women inmates held at the jail at any given time, about 10% of the total inmate population.

A 2018 report by the State Compensation Board found that 34% of female inmates in Virginia’s local jails were diagnosed with a mental illness in 2018, more than double the percentage of male inmates with mentally illness.

The Prince William-Manassas Adult Detention Center has struggled with employee turnover in recent years. The turnover rate reached 16% in 2019, the highest it had been in years, according to jail officials.

The bulk of the unfilled positions are for the entry-level position of jail officer, which has a starting salary of $50,000 and is being advertised on the county’s website.

Lambert said the jail needs to hire more staff as the county’s $44 million jail expansion nears completion. The expansion is slated to be completed in early 2020 and will add an additional 204 beds.

George Mason University is considering putting a medical school at its Prince William Science and Technology campus, according to Dr. William A. Hazel Jr., a senior advisor for the Office of the Provost at George Mason University.

Hazel recently brought the news of the potential plans to the Prince William Board of County Supervisors. He said a new medical school could open at the Manassas-area campus as soon as 2022, according to a county press release.

“We’re working hard. It’s not a done deal.

There’s a lot that has to fall into place for it to happen. We do need to get things moving as far as residents, amenities and making sure we have everything we need on the campus,” Hazel said during the Nov. 19 supervisors’ meeting.

A new Mason medical school would fit in with the sci-tech campus in Prince William County and would teach physicians to provide culturally sensitive and personalized care through research and innovation, to use team-based care and to leverage data and technology to drive health-related innovation. A new medical school would also dovetail with existing programs at the university, Hazel said.

“We already have an undergraduate, pre-med program, but we also have two post-baccalaureate pre-med programs at the science and technology campus. We think we can offer something unique here in Prince William,” Hazel said, according to the release.

Hazel also said the country could use more medical doctors, and George Mason University wants to provide them.

“We clearly have a shortage of physicians in the country today. It is growing. It is not just medical students, but it is a problem with residents, as well; and I think that we also see that the face of medicine is changing.”

New commuter garage focus of Dec. 11 meeting Staff Reports Prince William officials will hold a public meeting next week about the county’s first commuter parking garage, a $36.5 million, seven-level structure that scheduled to be completed by 2023.

The meeting, hosted by the county’s department of transportation, aims to provide information about the 1,400-space garage, which will be located on county-owned property at 2502 Opitz Blvd. in Woodbridge. The site is across from the Sentara hospital, near Stonebridge at Potomac Town Center.

The meeting will be held Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Freedom High School, 15201 Neabsco Mills Road in Woodbridge, between 6 and 9 p.m.

Those who attend will have the opportunity to see exhibits, discuss tentative project schedules, meet with elected officials and transportation representatives and provide input on the Potomac-Neabsco Commuter Parking Garage Project, according to a county news release.

“We’re anticipating that we will have a full, topographical view of the parcel, where exactly the garage will be located and types of access,” said Dagmawie Shikurye, the county’s project manager, in the release.

“At this point, we have three different access points to the structure. One is via River Rock Way; another one is via Bridge View Drive; and a third one comes through Potomac Center Boulevard,” Shikurye said.

The access points and other aspects of the project could be subject to change, since the project will be a design-build process, meaning the design and construction will closely coincide, Shikurye said.

“The main reason we’re having this meeting is

to refine what we have based on input from the public,” he said.

The seven-level garage will have nearly twice as many spaces as the county’s largest commuter parking lot on Telegraph Road, which has 726 spaces.

“This is really going to be a game changer for Prince William County. We’re going to have bus stops that access OmniRide, as well as kiss-andride and slug lines. Being able to remove that much traffic will just alleviate a lot of pressure from the corridor,” Shikurye said.

Written and verbal comments about the project will be accepted at the meeting.

People who cannot attend can email Shikurye at DShikurye@pwcgov.org, or mail comments to the attention of Dagmawie Shikurye, Prince William County Department of Transportation, 5 County Complex Court, Woodbridge, VA 22192.

Comments must be received by Jan. 14.

Details of the project files will be available as

they are updated at: https://www.pwcgov.org/government/dept/dot/Pages/Current-Road-Projects. aspx under Neabsco Commuter Garage.

Construction is set to begin in April 2021, with a completion date set for April 2023, Shikurye said.

The county will contribute $1 million toward the project with the remainder of the money set to come from the Federal Highway Administration through the Virginia Department of Transportation’s Smart Scale program.

More information about this project and other transportation and mobility projects in the county is available at pwcgov.org/transportation.

Catlett man arrested in June pez, in the wooded area. At the time, Police remove 3 children, Lopez, was with the second victim, 3 dogs from unfit home in double homicide Mayorga, police said.

Woodbridge Police have arrested a Catlett man in connection with a double homicide in Woodbridge in June.

On Saturday, June 22, at 10:25 a.m., police responded to the area of Featherstone and Blackburn roads in Woodbridge to investigate the deaths of two men, later identified as Milton Beltran Lopez, 40, and Jairo Geremeas Mayorga, 39, both of Woodbridge.

During the investigation, homicide detectives identified a suspect in the double homicide, according to Prince William County police spokesman Sgt. Jonathan Perok.

Police determined that the suspect met up with one of the victims, Lo-

On Friday, Nov. 22, Abner Jose Molina-Rodriguez was apprehended in Fauquier County in connection to a separate investigation, Perok said.

Information collected during that investigation connected Molina-Rodriguez to the double homicide in Woodbridge, Perok said.

Molina-Rodriguez, 22, of Eskridges Lane in Catlett, was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and two counts of use of a firearm in commission of a felony. He is being held without bond and has a court date on Jan. 27. The Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI assisted in the investigation.

Three children and three dogs were removed from a home in Woodbridge after a police determined the home lacked running water and was generally unfit for habitation, according to police.

Police arrived at the home, located in the 14900 block of Enterprise Lane in Woodbridge, at 4:47 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 24, to investigate an open door.

Officers found the home lacked running water. While investigating, the residents returned to the home, and officers learned that three children, a 14-year-old boy, 12-year-old boy and 4-year-old girl, were living there

along with two adults and three dogs, according to Officer Renee Carr, spokeswoman for the Prince William County Police Department.

Animal Control Officers took possession of the dogs, while the children were released to a family member. The children and animals were unharmed, Carr said in a news release.

Following the investigation, D’Vondrae Muhyee, 29, and Deondra Bowman, 50, were arrested and charged with three counts of child neglect, two counts of cruelty to animals and one count of dog at large in connection with the incident.

Both were being held on a $10,000 secure bond Monday, the news release said.

Prince William Times | December 4, 2019

Guest Editorial:

The value of local news When Doonesbury takes up your cause, you’ve reached a certain – perhaps ironic – status.

Garry Trudeau’s panel Nov. 10 had Mike and Kim enjoying their Sunday newspaper and a cup of (likely) Seattle’s finest coffee, musing the importance of local news.

“Without a newspaper, print or online, people lose a host of connections with their community,” says Mike. By cartoon’s end the couple has imagined a nightmare scenario without a local news source.

We live with that here in the Virginia Piedmont, where we find ourselves the epicenter of the seismic forces impacting local journalism in America.

A recent edition of the Prince William Times featured the final installment of “Opioid Ripples,” a six-month public service journalism project documenting the devastating impact on families and virtually all sectors of local life.

The nonprofit Piedmont Journalism Foundation joined Foothills Forum in Rappahannock, as well as for-profit and nonprofit publishers in four counties – Rappahannock, Fauquier, Culpeper and Prince William – in sharing this in-depth series across the Piedmont.

Randy Rieland guided the compelling reporting in this first-time, four-part regional project. The cumulative death toll he documents of young lives lost too soon to addiction is a gut punch. Top-notch graphics once again by Laura Stanton added depth to understanding what’s at stake. Photographer Kenneth Garrett and lead editor Lynn Medford brought decades of experience to the project. The weeklies led as well with savvy ultimate decisions on publishing and design, adding online and video elements.

A 10-item summary, “What we’ve learned,” lays out the sobering facts. Among them: The Piedmont has a critical shortage of treatment facilities; the Rappahannock-Rapidan and Prince William health districts share just one acute residential addiction treatment facility.

Genetic factors account for 50 to 60 percent of addiction, according to research, and yet our laws and programs to treat addiction haven’t caught up to that reality.

The Piedmont badly needs more doctors trained to treat addicts.

We desperately need foster

families.

The most recent installment reveals how important actors – our public health officials, our first responders – struggle with these new realities while operating with conflicting laws, regulations, guidance and acceptance.

“The state legislature needs to be involved,” said Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier. “If they can change the law, it wouldn’t put law enforcement in an awkward position.”

The series findings suggest a path forward for those tasked with tackling the local impacts —including some 700 deaths – of this devastating national epidemic.

Even as acceptance grows that addiction isn’t automatically a moral choice, our region faces a long, costly road with tough choices.

The series is included in the Best of Nonprofit News 2019, compiled by the Institute for Nonprofit News.

None of this is possible without a community willing to supporting fact-based, in-depth local reporting. Donor support for the two civic news organizations – Foothills and PJF – made the opioids series possible, including partial funding from the PATH Foundation.

As the series wrapped up, the nonprofit PJF has agreed to take ownership of the weekly Fauquier Times and Prince William Times, which shows there’s a commitment to continuing local journalism by providing leadership and financial stability. Similar developments in Salt Lake City, Philadelphia and bigger stages elsewhere show the nonprofit route is but one approach to ensuring that local news lands on your doorstep or iPad. We’re fortunate. Where other communities have been buffeted by lethal economic forces – more than 2,000 local newspapers have gone out of business in the last 15 years – this region’s residents are committed to sustaining local news. “…Local citizens believe in the importance of local journalism …,” wrote Times publisher Catherine M. Nelson. The cooperation shown in presenting the opioids series by multiple publishers in the region (normally toughnosed business competitors) starts with an acute awareness that local news is a public good to be treasured.

LARRY “BUD” MEYER Cofounder and Chair of Foothills Forum Rappahannock

Richmond to-do list: Ban phones while driving, promote gun safety The 2020 Virginia General Assembly will convene in about a month, and legislators are now preparing bills to propose.

In the 2018 and 2019 sessions, we came very close to passing legislation prohibiting drivers from having a phone in their hand in a moving vehicle. In the last session, we approved legislation to prohibit this in construction zones, but Speaker Kirk Cox killed it by ruling Gov. Ralph Northam’s attempt to widen it to all highways not germane. It will pass this session.

I will propose several predatory lending reforms. Using Native American tribes as fronts, online lenders continue to make loans over the internet in Virginia at over 400 percent interest rates and requiring far off tribal arbitration for disputes.

Other states have enacted consumer protections, including steps to rein in interest rates, fees, collection practices and repeat loans.

I will introduce bills to curb firearm violence. The Unite the Right March in Charlottesville coupled with the four-armed men who appeared at the Alexandria farmers market in September underscore the need for local governments to have the ability to prohibit firearms at permitted public events.

Second, suicide is the leading cause of firearm death in Virginia.

One of my bills will allow people to place themselves on a “do-not-sell” list for firearms so they cannot be sold a gun if they have a moment of weakness. Third, Virginia’s Department of Game and Inland Fisheries is still allowing permittees to license duck blinds in counties and areas where duck hunting is illegal under local ordinances. I will introduce legislation to fix this along with Del. Paul Krizek, D-44th, of Fairfax County.

I will introduce a bill to create a new public defenders’ office for Prince William County and the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park. A public defenders’ office will pro-

SEN. SCOTT SUROVELL

fessionalize defense representation, improve justice outcomes and cost taxpayers little more than funding private court-appointed counsel.

Virginia’s civil justice system should also be modernized. Virginia and Mississippi are the only states in America that do not allow class-action lawsuits. Virginia also still adheres to ancient doctrines that punish largely innocent collision victims, and we have not adjusted Virginia’s auto insurance minimum policy limits since the 1970s, when medical care and vehicles cost a fraction of what they do today.

Virginia’s three boards governing mental health professionals issued regulations prohibiting therapies that attempt to change one’s sexual orientation, known as “conversion therapy.” We need to put that prohibition into law to ensure it will not be reversed. I will introduce that bill.

For the last four sessions, I have introduced legislation to address the lack of available driving permits for many of my immigrant constituents.

Since 2014, Maryland and the District of Columbia have allowed driving permits to anyone who can show that they pay taxes, pass a driving test and pay fees. My bill has died in committee by one vote each year.

I am hopeful the new majority will mean a better outcome.

It is an honor to serve as your state senator. Please email me at scott@scottsurovell.org if you have any questions or feedback.

The writer, a Democrat, is a state senator representing the 36th District, which includes parts of Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties.

Prince William Times | December 4, 2019

Celebrate ‘Christmas in Middleburg’ this Saturday Staff Reports The historic village of Middleburg, located in the heart of Virginia’s horse country, is well known for its bucolic countryside, unique shopping, fine dining and luxurious accommodations. Each year on the first Saturday in December, the village hosts its annual holiday celebration, Christmas in Middleburg.

The traditional Christmas festivities, with the backdrop of a classic hunt country village, have become a family tradition and essential part of the holiday season for local residents and visitors from far and wide.

Christmas in Middleburg festivities begin at 8 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 7, with Breakfast with Santa and a silent auction at the Middleburg Community Charter School.

Starting at 11 a.m., the Middleburg Hunt Review creates a spectacular sight as approximately 150 horses, riders in hunting attire and dozens of hounds make their way through town. Throughout the day there are choir performances, hayrides, the Christmas in Middleburg Craft Fair at the Middleburg Community Center (300 W. Washington

St.), as well as shopping and dining in the town’s shops and restaurants.

Food trucks will be located on North Pickering Street, behind the BB&T Bank, during the event.

The Middleburg Christmas Parade begins at 2 p.m. Spectators line the sidewalks along Washington Street (U.S. 50) to watch as a unique assortment of floats, troops and musical groups march by. In keeping with the animal friendliness of the town, the parade includes horses, ponies, llamas, alpacas and a variety of dog breeds. Not to be missed are the antique fire trucks and, of course, Santa brings up the rear riding on a beautiful horse-drawn coach.

From 3 to 6 p.m., adults can relax and enjoy the Spirit of Middleburg.

The progressive hospitality of food and wine tasting allows adults to wind down and relax at the Middleburg establishments of their choice while sampling foods, wines and spirits from throughout the area at local restaurants.

Ask the Arborist

Todd Hagadone Jr. I.S.A. Certified Arborist

Why do people prune trees?

People commonly prune trees to remove dead branches, remove crowded or rubbing limbs, or to eliminate hazards. Trees also are pruned to increase light and air penetration to the inside of the tree’s crown or to surrounding landscape. In most cases, trees are pruned as a corrective or preventative measure to reduce weight on heavy limbs or to encourage the appropriate branch structure to reduce branch breakage in the future. Since each cut has the potential to change the growth of the tree, no branch should be removed without a reason.

With this in mind, proper structural pruning of young trees is typically of the best value.

When to prune Most routine pruning to remove weak, diseased, or dead limbs can be done at any time of the year. But growth is maximized and wound closure is fastest if pruning occurs before the spring growth flush - when trees have just expended a great deal of energy to produce foliage and early shoot growth.

Heavy pruning immediately after growth flush can stress the tree. Avoid pruning during active disease transmission periods. A few tree diseases, such as Oak Wilt and Dutch Elm Disease, can be spread when pruning wounds allow spores or insects to access a tree.

Stroll down on the quaint country lane to a beautifully remodeled, circa-1890 farmhouse with modern amenities at 17167 Waterloo Road in Amissville, Va. This lovely, four-bedroom, threeand-a-half-bath home sits on 12 quiet acres with a stocked pond. It was very tastefully remodeled in 2019, affording current style with a soothing country feel.

The unique custom kitchen with stacked stone island has a down draft cooktop, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Enjoy family time together in the open-concept living room and dining room with fireplace. The nicely appointed main-level master bedroom has built-in bookshelves, wood floors and walk-in closets. The master bath is amazing with heated-tile floors, a custom-tile shower with glass doors and separate water closet.

ment in the expansive media room.

Kenneth Leroy Smock

Teresa Kerns Larson

Kenneth Leroy Smock, longtime analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency, passed away in Fairfax, VA, on November 21, 2019, at the age of 77.

Ken was born September 23, 1942, in Manhattan, KS, to Merle and Ivaloo (Scholfield) Smock. They moved often due to his father’s work with Continental Trailways, living in Kansas, Illinois, and Oklahoma before settling in Salina, KS, for Ken’s high school years. Ken graduated from Kansas Wesleyan University in Salina, KS, in 1965 cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts degree in History. After marrying Jan Menhusen on June 5, 1966, they made their first home at the University of Kansas, where Ken attained a Master of Arts in Slavic and Soviet Studies in 1974 after serving honorably in the Army in Vietnam and Germany for three years. Ken and Jan then moved to Manassas, VA, in 1976 where he lived for the next 40 years.

Ken began his professional career as an analyst with the Central Intelligence Agency in 1974. Over the next 31 years, Ken worked in various leadership positions, bringing his tireless dedication, expertise, and depth of knowledge on Central Europe and the Balkans to countless important events of the day as well as in mentoring many junior analysts.

Outside of work, Ken’s greatest passion was his family. He loved to spend time with his sons and grandchildren. Family road trips to visit relatives and explore new landmarks became an annual and cherished tradition. After retirement, Ken enjoyed traveling across the country with his wife as she conducted genealogical research. He was a voracious reader and he continued to satiate his inquisitive nature by taking classes at George Mason University. Ken was an avid supporter of the DC area sports teams and his beloved Kansas Jayhawks. His warm laugh, witty puns, and gentle nature will live on in all who knew him.

Mr. Smock is preceded in death by his wife, parents, and brother Edward.

Survivors include two sons, Robert A. Smock and wife Sarah of Fairfax, VA; David J. Smock and wife Lisa, of Fairfax, VA; three grandchildren, Cora, Lydia, and Thomas Smock; and brother Keith A. Smock and wife Lyn, of Portland, OR. Ken was a man of singular intelligence, integrity, and warmth who will be dearly missed by his family and friends.

A celebration of Ken’s life will be held Friday, Dec. 6 at 11:00 AM at St. Thomas United Methodist Church in Manassas. Graveside services will be in the cemetery in Jewell, KS, at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be given to the Lewy Body Dementia Association or to the Center for Russian, East European & Eurasian Studies at the University of Kansas.
