The Stafford County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to advertise a public hearing that could ultimately lead to haulers being forced to take county trash to the Rappahannock Regional Landfill.

The landfill, which serves Stafford and Fredericksburg, has nearly reached its capacity and continues toward quickly needing its next solid waste cell.

In order to pay for the cell, the Rappahannock Regional Solid Waste Management Board recommended that supervisors move toward enacting flow-control measures to ensure that solid waste be delivered to the landfill instead of other facilities that haulers may find cheaper.

The R-Board operates the regional landfill, located on Eskimo Hill Road in Stafford.

Supervisors did not yet set a date for the public hearing.

The requirement will end up costing residents more money to use local trash haulers, according to Stafford Supervisor Cord Sterling, R-Rock Hill.

But Stafford Supervisor Paul Milde, R-Aquia, who sits on the R-Board, said that the move is necessary.

County staff estimated that 30,000 tons per year of solid waste originating in Stafford and Fredericksburg are being diverted to other landfills. The R-Board increased tipping fees for commercial haulers by 5 percent last year.

Fetterolf endorsed by SEA for School Board seat Dean Fetterolf is a candidate for the Rock Hill seat on the Stafford County School Board and has been endorsed by the Stafford Education Association, according to a news release.

Fetterolf is running on his seven steps to better schools, including: 1. Reducing class sizes. It is the most effective way to improve the learning environment, he said. SCPS has the fourth highest K-7 student teacher ratio in Virginia, up from 6th and that doesn’t include the 55 positions unfilled by the $8.3-million budget mistake.

2. Compensation. Stafford ranks 79th out of 132 districts in per pupil funding. Stafford teachers e ar n $4,000 less than nine comparable school districts.

3. Program parity. The quality of a child’s education should not be left to chance or depend upon the neighborhood in which they live. Fetterolf says he agrees with schools’ superintendent W. Bruce Benson that we need a “school system” not a “system of 30 schools.”

4. Recover the Impact of Development. Why does a county with the ninth-highest median household income in the U.S. not have sufficient classroom funds? The biggest reason is the $30.5 million and growing debt service for new schools and renovation due to growth. That’s been caused by decades of poorly planned and underproffered development. Developers

must pay their fair share. That’s funding that could go for smaller classes and better pay.

Fetterolf has a Ph.D. in chemistry from the University of Florida in 1983 and has lived in Stafford for nearly 22 years.

His two children are 2010 and 2011 Mountain View graduates. He served as chair of the 2007-11 School Board’s Finance and Budget Committee.

He also served on the Capital Improvement and 2009 Middle School Redistricting committees and Compensation and Budget task forces.

Historic Places.

In the early 20th century, hundreds of steamships were built to transport cargo to warships during World War I. Before the majority of the vessels were complete, Germany surrendered on Nov. 11, 1918, ending the war. With no other designated use for the ships, hundreds were scuttled in Mallows Bay to be demolished.

However, many were left in the bay to rot.

Several schools, including St. Mary’s College in Maryland, send students to tour what has now become a “living laboratory” for environmental and biology disciplines, she said. The ships form miniislands that house an array of wildlife.

The ship graveyard at Mallows Bay, Maryland — just across the Potomac River from Widewater — will soon be designated a national marine sanctuary.

For the first time in 15 years, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association announced plans to classify new sanctuaries. The agency on Monday named Mallows Bay in Charles County, Maryland, and Lake Michigan in Wisconsin as areas in need of federal protection.

On the Virginia side, it would run from near Aquia Creek to Quantico.

The bay contains the “ghost fleet” of World War I wooden steamships built for the U.S. Emergency Fleet, which are listed on the National Register of

Mobile dog groomer puts pets, people at ease TRACY BELL

Stafford County Sun

Friday, October 9, 2015 • www.insidenova.com/news/stafford/ • STAFFORD COUNTY SUN

Maybe dogs think she’s got the magic touch. Maybe it’s her soothing English accent. And maybe her sense of style is all the canine rage.

For mobile dog groomer Danielle Kitzmiller, it could be all three that make her business successful. And it can’t hurt that she gets to know the pups’ parents, too.

Kitzmiller, who lives in Stafford, operates a mobile dog-grooming business that relieves customers of the need to transport their animals for services.

She’ll travel to homes in Stafford, including south Stafford’s U.S. 17 area, and to Quantico near the Marine Corps base.

Kitzmiller said that her business focuses on a niche group of customers who for convenience or necessity, don’t take their pets to groomers. This includes people with pets that are anxious or older and people who are stay-at-home parents, working odd hours, disabled or elderly.

Other customers simply find it easy to have a groomer come to them.

“It seems to work out really well. They’re more comfortable in their own homes,” she said of her customers and dogs.

Kitzmiller, who’s known as Danielle the Dog Groomer online where she advertises, said that her favorite part of the job is creating real transformations that make dogs look and feel better.

“I love getting a dog that’s in really nasty condition and making a big difference,”

Kitzmiller, who is originally from England, is based in Stafford. She doesn’t own a van, bus or trailer for her business. Instead, she drives to her clients’ homes in her car and brings with her a “Mary Poppins” bag of supplies and a small grooming table.

Like Super Nanny, she makes housecalls and leaves her customers in better shape.

And she enjoys getting to know her

clients. She knows that people hold a special place in their hearts for their dogs.

“Their dogs are their babies,” she noted. “I’m a talker and a generally nice person. I don’t necessarily claim to be the best groomer there is but I really get to know these people.”

Kitzmiller said she’s capable of providing practically every service a grooming business offers, including full grooming, washing, nail, ears and anal

gland care and flea and tick services. She tops it off with pet cologne and a bandana.

To serve her customers, Kitzmiller just needs an electrical outlet and a washtub or a bathtub in her clients’ homes, or a 3x3 space to work in if the client chooses to wash the dog themselves.

Most appointments are complete in an hour, she said.

Last week, she groomed Bilbo, a shelter adoptee that found a home with Angela Schumacher’s family in Stafford.

Kitzmiller, who has a shorthaired dachshund of her own named Belle, “kind of fell into” her line of work. It was unlikely, since she’s a scientist by trade, with some animal qualifications along the way, and her sons are allergic to dogs.

Kitzmiller is a self-described “Air Force brat” who married a military man. The couple was once stationed in Grand Fork, North Dakota near Fargo, surrounded by plenty of snow. It was there that she determined no need for a pet van or trailer, because she didn’t particularly want to work outside in freezing temperatures.

Kitzmiller said she once rescued a dog with a cleft palate. Special-needs and older dogs can be overlooked but are wonderful dogs to own and work with, too, she said.

“There’s nothing like the oldies,” she explained.

Kitzmiller remains busy with her business, focusing GROOMER PAGE 15 on the immediate area.

The Comprehensive Breast Center was first in the Commonwealth of Virginia to offer XoftÂŽ Intraoperative Radiation Therapy, allowing eligible patients to complete surgery and cancer treatment in a single day. The Xoft system, when utilized for Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT), delivers a single, prescribed, targeted dose of radiation directly to the tumor cavity during surgery, thereby minimizing radiation to healthy tissue and organs and eliminating the need for a shielded treatment environment. Typical radiation therapy methods for breast cancer include whole breast radiation, which involves daily treatments for five to seven weeks, and partial breast irradiation where 10 treatments are delivered over a period of five days.

Offensive lineman from Brooke Point perseveres at Willam & Mary DAVID DRIVER

Friday, October 9, 2015 • www.insidenova.com/news/stafford/ • STAFFORD COUNTY SUN

For the Stafford County Sun

10

Last year Connor Hilland started eight games as a redshirt freshman lineman for the football team at William & Mary.

But he missed the last four games with an injury and then had ankle surgery in December and March.

After missing spring football, the Brooke Point High graduate has returned to the starting lineup this year for the Tribe.

“It was tough,” said Hilland, who also sat out 2013 as a redshirt. “Anyway that I can help my team … I love playing football. Nothing will stop me from contributing to my team’s success.”

The Tribe of the Division I-AA Colonial Athletic Association nearly pulled off a big upset before losing 35-29 on Sept. 19 at the University of Virginia, from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

“That was a tough loss,” Hilland said.

“We fought hard with great effort. We are not dwelling on Virginia.”

Hilland played against Virginia after he had missed a game earlier in the year versus Lafayette.

“I think I am very physical, very aggressive. I really need to focus on containing my aggression,” he said.

“Sometimes I will get over aggressive and it will impact a little bit (negatively).

It can be a strength.”

The Tribe bounced back to beat Stony Brook, 21-0, at home Sept. 26 in a CAA contest as William & Mary improved to 2-1 overall and 1-0 in CAA action.

William & Mary, after playing Oct. 3 at Delaware, will go on the road to face CAA preseason favorite Villanova near Philadelphia on Oct. 10 at noon.

“It is always one of the strongest FCS conferences,” Hilland said of the CAA. “This year I really like our chances, [even though] we were picked in the middle of the pack.”

Hilland played in high school against North Stafford High grad Brandon Ravenel, now a junior wideout with

Connor Hilland headed to William & Mary out of Brooke Point after turning down a shot to walk-on at Maryland, Duke and Virginia.

JIM AGNEW/COLLEGE OF WILLIAM AND MARY

James Madison University. The Dukes stunned host Southern Methodist on Sept. 26.

Hilland headed to William & Mary out of Brooke Point after turning down a shot to walk-on at Maryland, Duke and Virginia. He also had scholarship offers from Richmond and Liberty.

“It was really the academics,” said Hilland, for his reason for heading to Williamsburg. “The first time I took a visit there I felt it was the place for me.”

Hilland is the son of Robert and

Alexandra of Stafford.

He is studying kinesiology after playing guard, tackle, defensive tackle and defensive end in high school for coach Jeff Berry. He was an all-region player and was a member of the National Honor Society and the National Society of High School Scholars. He played basketball and lacrosse as a freshman and then focused on football as a sophomore.

Other Stafford residents on the Tribe roster include junior cornerback Trey Reed (Colonial Forge) and senior

offensive lineman Nick Easter (Colonial Forge).

Other players from Stafford with VMI include Darrian Johnson (Stafford High), a redshirt junior wideout; junior wideout Aaron Sanders (Brooke Point); and freshman offensive lineman Tyler Thacker (Stafford High).

Sanders had a team-high 28 catches in the first four games while Johnson had two catches in the first four games.

STAFFORD SPORTS REPORT | BRIAN WRIGHT Heavy rain isn’t good for the sake of a high school sports schedule. And locally, the inclement weather altered a Friday night usually occupied by football. Nevertheless, games went on — although they were scattered throughout the weekend.

FOOTBALL OSBOURN AT STAFFORD A lost turnover battle usually results in a lost game. That was certainly the case for Stafford. On Saturday afternoon, the Indians committed three first quarter turnovers to set the tone and create an early deficit. The visiting Eagles used the giveaways to take a 20-0 lead within the initial 11 minutes of play.

Stafford, though, mounted a comeback.

With the assistance of a whopping 20 Osbourn penalties, the Indians closed

the gap to 20-13. But three more turnovers did them in, ultimately leading to the seven-point loss and preventing a second consecutive win.

OSBOURN PARK AT NORTH STAFFORD These two teams played their contest a day early to avoid the incoming weather. But there was no sound plan for Osbourn Park to avoid the deluge of Wolverine force. North Stafford jumped out to a big advantage with three unanswered touchdowns and came away with a 39-10 home victory. In this balanced offensive attack, freshman running back Devyn Ford rushed for 158 yards and three touchdowns, while quarterback Jimmy Edwards threw for three. Two of those scores went to Guy Keith. The third, and final TD, was hauled in by De’Curtis Davis.

GAR-FIELD AT COLONIAL FORGE On paper, it appeared to be a blowout.

On the field, that’s what it was. Winless Gar-Field could do very little to stop the one-loss Eagles. As a team, Forge rushed for 343 yards. The team outgained its opponent 468-34 and the defense had six interceptions. Leading the way on offense was junior Antonio McCray, who gained a game-high 129 yards on the ground (along with three touchdowns) on 10 carries.

VOLLEYBALL There were no such weather delays on the volleyball court. Colonial Forge and Massaponax played in the controlled environment of a gym, but Nori Thomas and the Eagles controlled their match with the Panthers. Thomas led all players with 20 kills, while Presley Maghan had 41 assists in a four-set win that propelled Forge to

10-3 on the season.

The Eagles gained another win last Thursday when they swept Stafford.

Thomas provided seven more kills, along with eight aces, and Sabrina Lee had 19 assists.

Mountain View didn’t have it so easy when it faced Massaponax. The Wildcats, desperately trying to stay on the winning track, split their first two sets with the Panthers. Isabella Brooks (29 assists) and Sydney Jones (11 kills) did everything they could to get Massaponax’ fifth win of the season. Instead, it was the team’s 11th loss (second in-conference). Mountain View prevailed, 15-11, in the deciding set to take the victory. Also contributing heavily to the win were Tiaralyn McBride, with 12 kills, and Jesse Boles, with 18 digs.

Google’s turn to release new phones and other devices Last month Apple announced new phones and the iPad Pro. Now it’s Google’s turn.

Google has two new phones, the Nexus 5X and the Nexus 6P. The chief advantage of a Nexus device is that it is first to get new operating systems. These phones come with the latest Marshmallow version of Android, announced a few months ago. When the next version of Android comes out, these phones will be first in line for them. And the upgrades come direct from Google.

Other Android phones have to wait until the phone’s manufacturer releases a version of Android for the phone, and your carrier approves and transmits it out to you. Some current phones won’t get Marshmallow for months; some older phones not at all.

The 5X is made by South Korea’s LG and sports a 5.2 inch display. The 6P, made by Chinese maker Huawei, sports a bigger 5.7 inch screen.

Both phones have a fingerprint reader for secure access, high resolution front and back cameras, and come unlocked so they can be used on all the major US carriers including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint. And both phones can be used on Google’s own service,

Google also previewed a new tablet coming out before Christmas. The Pixel Tablet is a high-end Android tablet with an optional keyboard that attaches with magnets. The Pixel is clearly intended to compete with the newly announced iPad Pro, and Microsoft’s Surface.

Google also announced a family music plan, similar to Apple’s and for the same price, $15 a month.

It will stream music to your device and recommend music for each family member depending on their musical tastes.

A new photo app lets users copy photos to another’s phone. That way, if family members all take pictures while on vacation, they can copy the photos into one collection. And other family member, like grandma, can subscribe to the photos and see them and be notified when there are new ones.
