Q&A
AT WHAT PRICE? Virginia Council on Problem Gambling President Carolyn Hawley runs down the possible social costs of a Richmond casino
Richmond magazine: What is problem gambling, and how is it different from gambling addiction?
Carolyn Hawley: If we want to be strict,
gambling disorder is the specific disorder [with criteria including] increasing financial problems related to gambling, lying about your gambling, and an inability to cut back or stop. When we look at these criteria, we know it’s very similar to substance use disorder. Now, for problem gambling … it could be somebody maybe isn’t exhibiting these criteria, but they’re still having problems related to their gambling, and they may be developing a gambling disorder, so we use it [as] an umbrella for people with gambling disorders and people who may be on the road toward having a gambling disorder.

Carolyn Hawley, president of the Virginia Council on Problem Gambling
RM: Have resources for problem gambling prevention and treatment been effectively bolstered in proportion to the growing effort to bring casinos into Virginia?
Hawley: The sports betting and casino legislation that [was] passed [by the General Assembly in 2020] also had a provision for the Problem Gambling Treatment Fund, so a portion of revenue from sports betting and casinos will be designated towards prevention, education and treatment for gambling disorder. As more funds become available, this is what’s going to be the impetus, which I’m really excited about, with regards to providing treatment resources for individuals in the state because we are limited right now. RM: Virginia’s expansion into legalized gambling ramped up over the past year, with state lawmakers opening the doors to sports betting and casino resorts. What would a Richmond casino mean for city residents who struggle with problem gambling?
Hawley: I certainly understand the push in the state, especially for citizens and in those communities that are looking at casinos and gambling as an economic panacea. However, if the state is going to do that, people have to recognize there are going to be individuals who develop problems related to gambling, and the best thing we can do is prevent those problems before they happen. That means we need to have increased awareness and prevention activities so that somebody who is
starting to crave gambling more [and] may be starting to have some problems … understands that these are the early signs of an addiction and that they need to pull back. … We have to balance the economic costs with those social costs, and the sooner a person receives help for gambling addiction, the easier it is to stop that progression of the illness.
RM: Urban One has agreed to spend up to $200,000 annually on resources to prevent and treat problem gambling in Richmond. How should those funds be directed to mitigate potential harm from this casino project?
Hawley: Certainly toward prevention efforts, and starting … within our schools, teaching children about the risks of gambling. We need more awareness within our faith communities [on] how to work with parishioners who may be having problems, our primary care providers have to recognize that if somebody is starting to have some symptoms … associated with gambling disorder, that they start asking about their gambling so that we’re correctly identifying some of the causes. That requires a significant effort of awareness and prevention [to be] put forth. I want to catch people before they develop a problem because the problem is so devastating. —Rodrigo Arriaza Virginians struggling with gambling disorder can call the Virginia Council on Problem Gambling’s 24-hour toll-free help line at 888-532-3500.

ith Richmond City Council approving media company Urban One’s proposed ONE Casino + Resort project on June 14, the South Side casino proposal appears to be headed toward a Nov. 2 voter referendum, pending approval from the Virginia Lottery Board and Richmond Circuit Court. Richmond officials say the sprawling 2.9 million-squarefoot development will generate more than $170 million toward the city’s general fund in its first five years, including a $25 million upfront payment to the city if the referendum succeeds. Ahead of this fall’s vote, Virginia Council on Problem Gambling President Carolyn Hawley shares her thoughts on the potential social costs associated with opening a casino in the city, as well as how gaming revenues should be spent to minimize possible harm in the community. The VCPG is a nonprofit advocacy group focused on education, prevention and treatment for those struggling with gambling disorder.

A COMING SURGE? Local and state groups fear a housing crisis after the CDC eviction moratorium is lifted
H
ousing advocates say the end of the Centers for Disease Control’s eviction moratorium on June 30 puts tens of thousands of people in the Richmond region at risk of homelessness. The moratorium, which delayed eviction proceedings for those struggling financially because of COVID-19, had been in effect since Sept. 4 of last year. While it’s not clear how many people may be evicted, statewide data on the Virginia Rent Relief Program (RRP) shows that payments from June 2020 to May 2021 totaled more than $195 million, with 41,744 payments processed to 34,914 households statewide. This figure does not include Chesterfield County, which opted to administer its own rent relief programs. Christie Marra, director of housing

advocacy at the Virginia Poverty Law Center (VPLC), is concerned that landlords also will no longer be required to provide tenants with information about how to apply for rental assistance, nor will they be obligated to apply for rental assistance on behalf of their tenants. To access the current RRP funds, which come from the federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program, renters must present documentation affirming that they have lost income or had increased medical expenses because of COVID-19 and, as a result, they cannot pay their rent. “If they give that form to their landlord, the landlord cannot physically evict them,” Marra says. VPLC is lobbying Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam to issue an executive order that will keep the budget language in place that requires landlords to provide
information and assistance to tenants applying for rent relief funds, in order to keep people housed and avoid rental roadblocks in their futures. “Many landlords use third-party vendors to get rental history and look at prospective renters’ court records to look at payment records from prior landlords,” Marra says. “Most will not rent to someone who has any kind of eviction activity on their record. It’s a ‘Scarlet E’ on the tenant’s record and makes it difficult for that tenant to get good quality housing.” In 2016, Richmond made national news when the Eviction Lab at Princeton University found that the city had the second highest eviction rate in the country at 11.4%. The latest study from the RVA Eviction Lab at Virginia Commonwealth University on 2021’s first quarter shows the highest concentration of evictions in Richmond were found in ZIP codes in the East End, Southside and North Side — neighborhoods hit hard by the pandemic. During that time period, there were 128 evictions in Richmond, 108 in Henrico and 75 in Chesterfield through the courts, despite the moratorium; some people did not fill out the required paperwork to qualify. Ben Teresa, RVA Eviction Lab’s co-director, believes the CDC moratorium simply delayed an inevitable surge of evictions that he expects will occur upon its expiration. Marra and Teresa say having fewer evictions during the pandemic doesn’t tell the whole story because courts were closed for extended periods. Marra adds that these figures also don’t include those who moved when they couldn’t pay their rent or after their first eviction notice, nor do they show how far behind people are in their rent. Teresa says other harmful trends like leases not being renewed continue to be a problem. “The long-term issues like the lack of affordable housing and high levels of unemployment still haven’t been addressed,” he says. —Dina Weinstein

HAMPTON UNIVERSITY PROTON THERAPY INSTITUTE One-third of all brain tumors are malignant. Proton therapy is a viable option to treat brain cancer because the charged particles used in this modality allow the beam range to be controlled — this results in the treatment of approximately 70% less healthy surrounding, extremely sensitive tissue. The ability of proton therapy to be targeted in such an extremely precise manner enables physicians to attack malignancies while limiting risk to healthy brain tissue and sensitive spinal nerves, which significantly reduces side effects, including neurological dysfunction. After recently celebrating its 10-year anniversary, Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute (HUPTI) has treated more than 3,500 patients for prostate, breast, lung, brain and spine, GI, pediatric, and other cancers.

For the past decade, Fitz and the Tantrums have been an impressive hit machine, churning out singalong pop-soul nuggets with co-vocalists Michael Fitzpatrick and Noelle Scaggs at the fore. You’ll still find disgruntled fans who think that the L.A.based band has yet to fulfill the promise of their grittier 2010 indie debut, “Picking up the Pieces,” but it’s hard to deny the blissful melodic power of recent radio staples like “The Walker” and “HandClap.” Last year, Fitzpatrick released a solo debut, “Head Up High,” that rivals the band’s 2019 effort, “All the Feels,” for high-energy, groove-driven spectacle. The forces will reunite on Brown’s Island on July 11 at 7 p.m. $15$239.95 (pod seating). thebroadberry.com —Don Harrison 76

People are feeling more secure, and that’s showing up in event registration, such as for the VCU Health Richmond Marathon, which is set for Nov. 13. Runners have been signing up at pre-pandemic levels since January, when vaccines began to roll out, Lugbill says. Being vaccinated “changes your perspective — you start to feel there’s a safe way” to take part in the event. As it stands, the Monument Avenue 10K will return to its namesake route for 2022, serving as a symbol of an end to the darker days of COVID-19. “It’s going to be a huge celebration in putting the pandemic behind us,” he says. Programs at Sports Backers have evolved in accordance with safety guidelines. Fitness classes were canceled, then some returned virtually, then as outdoor offerings, and as of July, indoor instruction returns, Lugbill says. Virtual instruction proved to have its niche, and some of those classes will likely continue, as will some outdoor classes. As concerns about social distancing outdoors ease, there will be less need to hold events over multiple days, but open start times may remain, Lugbill says. “It makes it convenient for people and kind of makes it fit different people’s needs.” R
