he rains of recent days ceased for a ceremony that marks the end to the war to end all wars, at Quantico National Cemetery. Held on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month — when, in 1918, World War I finally ended — the Veterans Day ceremony honors past and present veterans of America’s military services. Held this year at a different location due to the rains, the audience was made up of veterans of all services, as well as family and friends. Many were from Stafford and Prince William, but others travelled to Quantico from farther away. “Our parents and many friends are buried here,” said one of two sisters from Washington, D.C., who declined to give their names. “It’s a peaceful location.” They said they prefer the Veterans Day ceremony at Quantico to the one at Arlington National Cemetery because it is “more family oriented and more respectful.” “I think people have forgotten what this day is about,” one of the sisters said. “It’s not about sales.” Donald Ritenour, a retired Marine who served for 25 years, and his wife Debbie, both of Prince William, were attending the ceremony for the first time. Debbie was a school teacher who always worked on Veterans Day, and Donald used to come to her school that day to give presentations about patriotism and the Marine Corps. “I’m retired now and it’s nice that we can come to this ceremony finally,” Debbie said. “My husband is a proud Marine — he’ll always be a Marine.” Some of the leather-jacketed and heavily bearded members of the audience were part of the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Combat Veterans Motorcycle Association. They come to the Veterans Day and Memorial Day ceremonies at Quantico National Cemetery every year. “We have a motto of ‘vets helping vets,’” said chapter commander Ross Woodley,

of Stafford, who goes by the riding name “Bird.” “We try to raise awareness of vets’ issues.” He said their chapter recently raised $35,000 to help veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. “For us, today has a special meaning,” he said. “All of our members are combatcertified veterans. We’re here to remember those guys who aren’t here anymore and build camaraderie with those who are.” The Frey family, from Dumfries, was at the ceremony representing almost all the branches of military service. Fred Frey is a retired Marine, his daughter Elizabeth Frey Delaney is in the Air Force, and her husband, Edward Delaney, was in the Navy.
“We had a mixed marriage,” Elizabeth Delaney joked. Edward died two years ago at the age of 52 and is buried at Quantico National Cemetery. “We’re here just to honor everyone who has ever served our country all the way back,” her mother, Gloria Frey, said. The ceremony began shortly after 11 a.m. following a musical prelude by the Quantico Marine Corps Band. Ron Bantom, chairman of the Potomac Region Veterans Council, which sponsored the ceremony, gave the call to order, in which he spoke of the special camaraderie shared by members of the armed forces.

The Stafford County School Board took another step Tuesday toward the planned rebuild of a two-story Moncure Elementary School in 2018. The board voted to approve elementaryschool educational specifications that would allow the two-floor plan, updating the previous design approved in 2009. The board then voted to move ahead with a design plan option for Moncure, choosing a design-bid-build method — one of three options previously discussed. The vote also affects rebuild plans for Ferry Farm Elementary School in 2020, according to the school board. School board member Dana Reinboldt, Griffis-Widewater District, said that it’s very important to her that Moncure be a beautiful new school. “I have been fighting for this new school for the past 12 years,” she said. “This is a wonderful opportunity. ...” Reinboldt said that the current Moncure has been around nearly 60 years. The options that the school board approved will include increased square footage per student from 93 to 109, more space for special education programs and collaborative learning for each grade level, as well as enhanced community use of the school through recreational areas.

Beware of Sheriff’s Office phone scam A scammer snagged money from a Stafford County woman Friday after he convinced her she owed the funds to the sheriff ’s office, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Bill Kennedy said. A man claiming to be Capt. Steve Carey, of the sheriff ’s office, convinced the woman there was a warrant for her missing jury duty and that she owed $995 for fines and costs. The scammer told the woman she could avoid jail by paying $500 via a cash card. The woman wanted proof of the man’s identity and was told to go to the sheriff ’s office. However, the scammer told her she
would be arrested when she got there. She inadvertently gave the scammer the pin number of the card and funds were transferred, Kennedy said. Another woman who got a similar phone call avoided losing money by going to the sheriff ’s office before buying a cash card. She was told the call was a scam and that the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office never calls residents with demands for money, Kennedy said. Anyone receiving calls about missing jury duty or demanding money should call the sheriff ’s office at 540-658-4400.

according to the presentation. School board member Patricia Healy, Rockhill District, said that she’d like to see the information available to the public on the school system’s website. ■ heard a staff report from school board member Dewayne McOsker, George Washington District. He mentioned the $8.3 million surplus that the school board recently discovered, noting that he “did not forgive and forget on this issue.” He asked the board’s chairman for a status response on the issue. “Let’s talk about accountability,” he said. “Whether purposeful or a mistake, [the error] had disastrous consequences” He also brought up Stafford High School assistant football coach Ken Marshall, who was dismissed from his position this fall after drills left players with blisters on their hands. McOsker said he’s received a lot of inquiry about
it but clarified that the school board can “get rid of ” only two people — the board clerk and the superintendent. He noted that it is Superintendent Bruce Benson’s decision when considering any other staff. Benson and school board Chairwoman Nanette Kidby, Garrisonville District, did not reply following McOsker’s comments. He also discussed Stafford High School’s late start to the school year and money the contractor, Hess Construction, owes for being late on the contract. According to the school board, the contractor should owe $5,000 per day after the contract deadline. Students at the school were supposed to start school Sept. 8, but started Sept. 14 instead. “Let’s not send good money after bad,” McOsker said, noting that hiring the same company for future projects would not be ideal.

ever known,” Bantom said. “Your civilian friends have never seen you cry, but your veteran friends have cried with you. “Veterans have written a check to the United States for an amount up to and including their lives,” Bantom continued. “Too many people today have forgotten that.” “Let us salute the 1.3 million of our fellow citizens on active duty who are standing by worldwide to protect us,” Robert T. Morris of the National Cemetery Administration said in his welcome. “Each one of them serves with the confidence that we will remember them and care for them and their families when they come home. We cannot
let them down.” The welcome was followed by a “toast to the flag,” a poetic ode to the stars and stripes delivered by Frank W. Harris. Harris is a retired Marine colonel and member of the Quantico chapter of the National Sojourners, a Masonic veterans group. Harris was wearing the green-and-white costume of a Colonial Marine, reflecting his participation in the Heroes of ’76. In his opening remarks Col. Joseph Murray, Quantico Marine Corps base commanding officer, thanked the audience for following its convictions by coming to the ceremony. He spoke of the symbolic meanings of the wreath that would be laid at the ceremony’s conclusion. Besides symbolizing life
and honor, it also symbolizes teaching, Murray said. Danny Pummill, principal deputy under-secretary for benefits with the Department of Veterans Affairs, delivered the ceremony’s keynote address. Pummill, an Army veteran, joked that he was humbled that the Marines allowed him speak at Quantico. “We’re getting ready to remember the 50th anniversary of the Vietnam War,” Pummill said. “Those veterans were not welcomed home as they should have been after the war, so on behalf of all of us ‘Thank you, and welcome home!’”
Following the keynote, Pummill, Murray, and Morris laid a wreath at a tombstone which was left unmarked. David Gurrister, of Prince William County, served in the Air Force and now has two sons who are active duty in the Marine Corps, one at Quantico and one at California’s Camp Pendleton. He teared up as he talked about why he wanted to attend the Veterans Day ceremony. “The military has made so many sacrifices for us over the years,” he said. “We have to remember and honor those who served.”

Recently Congressman Rob Wittman’s Vietnam veteran recognition ceremony at Quantico base on the war’s 50th anniversary also contributed to the needed curative. But healing is an ongoing process. After the event, I visited the gravesite of Maj. Cornelius Ram in New Jersey. He died in action on Jan. 10, 1971. I shared difficult memories of Ram, who earlier taught lieutenants at Quantico, and of his gallantry and leadership with his oldest daughter, Linda, and youngest son, Michael. Several troops that morning attempted to escort Ram on his observation mission in the Que Son Mountains of Vietnam, but were waved off by him, stating we were needed for more important things. Ram was killed by a boobytrap attempting to medivac wounded Marines. He left a wife and six children, and was decorated with the Vietnamese Medal of Honor, three Bronze Stars and numerous other combat awards. For 45 years, when the anthem is played, he immediately comes to mind and will again. Today’s Military Appreciation Day, according to ’Skin’s President Bruce Allen, is indeed significant. “These events are designed to honor veterans and demonstrates the genuine appreciation Redskins have for our nation’s military,” he stated.

REAL STORIES FROM THE EXPRESS LANES
“My commute is now safer and more predictable. I don’t worry that I will encounter traffic congestion that eats into the limited time I can spend with my Dad.” - Kathy B. Falls Church, VA
especially when he came home from serving in Korea and Vietnam. Now that she is older, Kathy is the one driving her dad around and she still takes him on a weekly adventure. She loves that no matter where they go, she says she can always count on the Express Lanes to get to her dad’s house in 30 minutes. Kathy knows that she’ll never be stuck in traffic — instead, she’ll get to spend her precious time with her dad.

North Stafford’s Barrett among the top hitters in the ODAC DAVID DRIVER
T
For the Stafford County Sun
his was a very impressive volleyball season for Tiffany Barrett, a junior outside hitter for Division III Virginia Wesleyan. She finished first in regular-season play in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) in kills, with 433, and was second in kills per set (3.97) and hitting percentage (.267). Barrett also recorded her 1,000th career kill in college in a match in October. The Stafford resident helped her team to an ODAC record of 10-1, which was second in the league back of RandolphMacon of Ashland at 11-0. “I think it has gone significantly better than I expected,” said Barrett, a graduate of North Stafford High School. “I just wanted to use my experience to help us be successful because we lost some big hitters.” The Marlins were 23-9 overall before beating No. 7 seed Randolph in the ODAC playoffs on Nov. 4 by a score of 3-0 as Barrett had a game-high 15 kills. Virginia Wesleyan met No. 3 seed Washington & Lee in the ODAC semifinals Nov. 7. “I think we were all doing our jobs,” said Barrett. “We lost two starters. This

year we are most balanced on offense. We can rely on more than one person.” Did Barrett feel she was more of a leader this year? “I feel like I am. She has been talking to me since last season about it,” Barrett said, referring to head coach Andrea Hoover. Other Stafford products who played college volleyball this season included at
least several others in the ODAC. Senior outside hitter Rachel Jacobson (Brooke Point) played for regular-season champion Randolph-Macon, which beat Lynchburg 3-0 on Nov. 4 in the first round of the playoffs. She played in 17 of the first 101 sets and had four digs. Freshman Kiara Greene of Colonial Forge High was on the roster for
SCS
Bridgewater, which fell just short of making the eight-team playoffs in the ODAC. Greene did not see action for the Eagles this year. She is the daughter of Stacey and Odell Greene. Senior setter Gabby Myers (Colonial Forge) played for Lynchburg, the No. 8 seed in the ODAC that ended its season at No. 1 seed Randolph-Macon on Nov. 4. North Stafford High graduate Katrina Houston is playing for Division I Charleston Southern as a senior outside hitter. She played in 90 of the first 108 sets and averaged nearly three kills per set. Houston made 22 starts last year and was third on the team in kills with 222. Charleston Southern plays Nov. 12 at High Point and two days later at Campbell to end regular-season play in the Big South Conference. Redshirt sophomore Christine Jackson plays for Shepherd, a Division II program in West Virginia. The North Stafford High graduate played in 91 of the first 92 sets and averaged more than two points per set. She played in 16 matches with 11 starts in 2014 after she was a redshirt who sat out the 2013 season. David Driver can be reached at info@staffordcountysun.com.
STAFFORD SPORTS REPORT | BRIAN WRIGHT
FOOTBALL BROOKE POINT VS. MASSAPONAX Being perfect is hard to do — but Massaponax is making it look easy. By attaining a 42-21 win over Brooke Point on Friday, the Panthers finished 10-0 for the third consecutive regular season. The players may have changed, but what has been constant in head coach Eric Ludden’s teams is a lethal triple-option rushing attack. It was on display yet again, and did not disappoint. The offense racked up 405 yards on the ground with a variety of ball carriers. The three most prominent were quarterback Joey Benden (165 yards, two TDs on 21 carries), Trey Watkins (135 yards, two TDs on 19 carries) and Tristen Medina (95 yards, two TDs on 12 carries). Now the top seed for the upcoming 5A-North regional playoffs, Massaponax will host Halifax this Friday. The Black-Hawks, who finished the regular season with a record of 8-2, also gets a home game — as they take on either Briar Woods or Marshall. Overlooked in the Panthers’ run to perfection was the exception effort from Brooke
Point tailback Damone Drew, who ran for 203 yards and a touchdown. MOUNTAIN VIEW VS. NORTH STAFFORD Looking to recapture the glory of three straight state semifinals, the North Stafford Wolverines made sure of a return to the playoffs in dramatic style. Naukym Morton provided most of the heroics. His seven-yard run in the fourth quarter was an awesome display of his athleticism and quickness, as he reversed field and outran defenders on his way to the end zone. It put the Wolverines up by nine. The Wildcats responded, but it wasn’t enough as North Stafford clinched a spot in the 5A-North playoffs with a 37-35 win. Mountain View also in the postseason, set to host Atlee next weekend. Morton’s game-sealing run was preceded by an 80-yard kickoff return in the first quarter — which capped off a 28-point opening period in which both teams traded touchdowns at a furious pace. Both quarterbacks came up with big performances. In a losing effort, Ahmad Tweedy threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns, while Edwards had 128 yards passing and a pair of scores. With the victory, the Wolverines get a home playoff game against Albemarle in the opening round. POTOMAC VS. STAFFORD It may not have been a good season for Stafford, but at least it ended well. When James Rossi hauled in a pass from Jamin
Lane for a 16-yard touchdown with 1:08 remaining, it marked the climax to the Indians’ 20-16 victory over the Panthers — the team’s second win of the 2015 campaign. This win wouldn’t have been possible if not for a key defensive play. Just two minutes were left, and Potomac possessed the ball — but not for long. There was a forced fumble on third down at the Panthers’ 43-yard line. The Indians recovered and drove the distance to the end zone for the winning score. Stafford totaled 294 yards rushing, most of which was gained by Lane and Zevin Holley. Each posted 115 yards on the night.
VOLLEYBALL There wasn’t much of a challenge for Colonial Forge in the Conference 4 tournament championship, as the Eagles swept away Woodbridge 25-18, 25-20, 25-19. Madi Porter had 16 kills, while Prsley Maghan had 37 assists. Forge will be trying once again take advantage of the home court, as it welcomed Cosby for the quarterfinal round of the 6A-South regional playoffs. The 5A-North tourney includes two local teams — Massaponax and Brooke Point. Neither, however, was supposed to be in the position it’s in right now — thanks in part to the result of the match for the Conference 15 title on Nov. 4. The Panthers, at just 11-15, took down the supposedly dominant Black-Hawks with a five-set victory — earning a second straight conference tournament championship and a bye in the regionals. Seniors Haley Heath and Emma Swope
led the upset bid. Heath recorded 17 digs, while Swope had 10 kills. Sophomore Isabella Brooks totaled 20 assists and 17 digs. Not only was Brooke Point’s 11-game winning streak snapped, the loss also means it’ll have to go on the road for the regional playoffs. The Black-Hawks got back on the winning track against Halifax, winning in straight sets. Next up is a meeting with Stone Bridge on Tuesday.
FIELD HOCKEY Stafford and Mountain View appear destined to match up whenever there’s something of importance on the line. The two dueled for the conference’s regular season title — won by the Wildcats. The two faced off for the conference tournament crown — won by the Indians. Last Thursday, it was Stafford-Mountain yet again — this time for the regional championship. Scoring would be hard to come by, but the Wildcats were able to break through midway through the first half. Senior Brittney Vargas’ goal was the only one in the contest — as Mountain View took this most recent title bout. Stafford has several chances to even the score, but the Wildcats defense proved too tough. Mountain View now moves on to states, but so do the Indians. Each team plays in separate semifinal matches on Nov. 13 — with the potential of one more meeting for the ultimate prize. Brian Wright can be reached at info@staffordcountysun.com.

Friday night was decision day for several local high school football teams. The regular season finale marked the end of the road for some. For others, it was the chance at the playoffs and retaining hope for a state title. Here’s a recap of all the high school sports action — including postseason action in volleyball and field hockey.

LIVING WITH DOGS | LAURIE C. WILLIAMS
Practicing what I preach
I just attended my first in-person dog instructors throughout the country. This training class as a participant in a long has served me and my dogs well. However, there is still something very time. Let me explain. As a dog trainer with special about packing up your training decades of experience not only training bag and heading to a “place away from home,” and receiving dogs but more so coaching in-person, real-time and training other people coaching and instruction, to train their own dogs, the with distractions of other opportunity to take a class dogs and people around you, and receive this very same that just can’t be duplicated coaching and instruction on your own or in your own does not present itself very backyard. I found myself often. longing for that feeling of just Well we all know the story LAURIE C. WILLIAMS “being a student” in the class, of the “cobbler’s children.” so I finally put my foot down Very often professionals in and decided to make it happen. various areas fall prey to neglecting their One of the biggest misconceptions I own needs because of their intense focus encounter is the notion that only “bad” on helping provide for everyone else. dogs should receive formal, professional I see this lot in dog training profes- training. This couldn’t be further from sionals, myself included. Now in all the truth. Training is something all dogs honesty, I wouldn’t describe my dogs can benefit from, and it is something that exactly like the cobbler’s children can prevent your dog from ever doing “having no shoes.” I absolutely do train things we consider “bad” to begin with. them. Some more than others. I jump Another misconception is that dog into classes taught by other instructors training classes are only for people who at my facility often, and I also do quite are beginners. I’ve been training dogs a bit of solo training in my off time, as for more than 30 years and still would well as take online classes from different never profess to “know everything.” Not
CORTEZ
only do I feel I can always learn something new, but I also look forward to a fresh outlook and perspective. And then there’s the distractions that can only come with being in a different environment, surrounded by other dogs and people. We can train our dogs all we want in our living rooms and backyards, but the truth is, we can only test what they’ve learned by taking them out of their comfort zones. This is what I am paying for, and am happy to do so. Now this decision definitely has its challenges. Firstly, the class I needed is a high- level competition obedience class, something not readily available at the local big box store or pet training facility, so I knew travel was going to be a factor. Traveling adds time, and just like everyone, free time is a premium for me. But I was determined. I found the class I needed an hour’s drive away, fortunately at a least at a time when traffic is not a factor, so my Dalmatian, William, and I will be making this weekly trek for the next 7 weeks to get that quality training time we sorely need. I’m excited! Stafford business owner Laurie C. Williams CPDT-KA is a television and radio personality and nationally recognized dog trainer. She can be reached at onesmartpooch@aol.com.
