For the Stafford County Sun

In GOP-dominated Stafford County, where three of six state lawmakers (all Republicans) are unopposed in the upcoming Nov. 3 election, it’s not surprising that Republican incumbents continue to outraise their Democratic challengers. But the disparity in campaign war chests, detailed in the July 15 campaign finance reports, underscores the David-andGoliath scenarios facing Democrats Kandy Hilliard, who is attempting to unseat Del. Bill Howell, speaker of the House of Delegates, and Josh King, who is vying for the open District 2 delegate seat against Mark Dudenhefer, former chairman of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors. Both Hilliard, who is also a former Stafford supervisor, and King, a political newcomer and Fairfax County sheriff ’s

deputy, have been outraised many times over by their Republican opponents. Only Del. Scott Surovell, D-44th, who is running in the 36th state Senate District, which includes part of North Stafford, has outraised his Republican opponent, Dumfries Mayor Gerald Foreman. Surovell collected $52,669 in June and has more than $128,000 in the bank. Foreman collected only $12,664 in June and lists a balance-on-hand of $11,023, which includes the $20,000 he loaned his campaign earlier this year. The 36th District, open due to the upcoming retirement of Democratic Sen. Linda “Toddy” Puller, also includes wide swaths of Prince William and Fairfax counties and thus is considered friendlier to Democrats than most Stafford districts. Howell, R-28th, raised an astounding $550,000 in the two months leading up to his June 9 primary against Susan Stimpson and

continued to rake in big numbers in June. According to the Virginia Public Access Project, Howell’s campaign raised more than any other delegate in Virginia -$114,421—leaving him with $439,678 in the bank. Only Del. Chris Jones, R-76th, of Suffolk, has more cash on hand, about $450,000. Howell has shared his largess with Dudenhefer by donating nearly $36,000 to his campaign over the last several months, including $15,000 in June, according to reports filed with the State Department of Elections That put Dudenhefer’s total June haul at $23,595, replenishing his coffers after a primary challenge from fellow Republican Tim Ciampaglio. Democrats have no similar fundraising coattails. King raised less than $2,000 in June, his first month in the race. King stepped in after former Democratic

candidate Rod Hall dropped out of the running in early June. Del. Michael Futrell, who currently holds the seat, declined to seek re-election, instead pursuing, but ultimately losing, the three-way Democratic primary for the 29th District state Senate seat. Hilliard raised a healthy $14,970 in June but remains far behind Howell with only $16,636 in the bank. But in an interview Wednesday, Hilliard said she isn’t surprised or discouraged by the deficit, considering that Howell, arguably the most powerful politicians in the commonwealth, scored several $5,000 and $10,000 donations from political action committees representing everything from car-title lenders to home-building, roadbuilding and health-insurance interests. Among the more notable entries on Howell’s contribution list are $5,000 from Transurban, the Australian company that built and operates the new Interstate 95 high-occupancy toll lanes; $5,000 from the Transportation Construction Alliance and more than $50,000 from the Virginia Beer Wholesalers PAC. Howell’s campaign did not return phone calls seeking comment for this story. Hilliard’s finance report lists a few $500 donations from her most generous contributors, including a realtor and a publicschool teacher. But she says she’ll make up for lack of money by reaching out to voters door-to-door with her message about the need for “positive, forward-thinking leadership” for Stafford. Hilliard works as the assistant director for Childcare Network, a Spotsylvania nonprofit that helps parents find childcare as well as information about providers. She said Stafford residents are most concerned about the county schools, which she says have become more crowded and less successful under Howell’s leadership, as well as worsening traffic.

Stafford couple’s horses need new home An area rescue is looking for a loving home for two horses belonging to a Stafford County couple who died in a boating accident July 7. Josie, a Palomino walker, and Justin, a quarter horse, are a bonded pair so loved by owners Charlie Zintner and Melissa Smarr that they were mentioned in their obituaries. A family member got in contact with Two Hearts Mini and Draft Rescue in Stafford for help after Zintner, 58, and Smarr, 55, were found dead in the Potomac River after boating July 7. Authorities have not yet released information on what may have happened or exactly how the couple died. Their boat was found near Aquia Creek with lights and radio on, but out of fuel. The Coast Guard said a storm that evening may have contributed to their deaths. Two Hearts will continue to take care of Josie and Justin while

searching for a new home for the two, who are both 20 years old. The horses must be adopted together. “They were so loved we couldn’t see them end up in a horrible situation,” Two Hearts founder Karen Edens said. “And coming into the rescue gives them a safety net of our contract. Their passing was so tragic we couldn’t let the horses suffer, as well.” Anyone who would like to help with the horses’ care or sponsor them can PayPal a donation to twoheartsrescue@yahoo. com. To buy feed for the horses, contact Hometown Feed and Supply at 540-356-5136 or CFC Farm & Home at 540-439-3254 and mention Two Hearts. Donors can also help with the rescue’s vet bill by calling Rectortown Equine Clinic at 540-364-9111. Anyone interested in adopting the pair should contact Two Hearts via the group’s Facebook page.

Report: Stafford students falling behind TRACY BELL

Stafford County Sun

Student achievement is falling behind in Stafford County, according to a special presentation to the school board last week from its Finance and Budget Advisory Committee. Committee members told the board July 14 that Stafford County has some work to do, as they presented a year-end report with recommendations. Committee Chairman Jim Riutta presented details of the report, noting significantly more bad news than good. For instance, Stafford students are falling behind students in comparison districts with respect to standardized test scores and on-time graduation rates, the report said. The committee compared Stafford schools to Fauquier, Albemarle, Hanover, Loudoun, Prince William, Henrico, Chesterfield, Chesapeake and Spotsylvania schools. “We want the children to have a good education. We want you to have the facts,” said Lance Wolff, assistant superintendent for financial services for Stafford County Public Schools. “We know you work hard... We want to provide you with the ammunition and opportunity to meet your goals.” The committee report noted that the schools system’s teacher turnover rate could be impacting students, and that budget documents need more transparency to be effective. Over the last few years, SOL testing pass rates were never in the top 25

percent of the group Stafford’s being compared to. In the last five years, SAT scores in Stafford ranked lower than the state average score, the report said. There’s also a shrinking pool of applying teachers to SCPS, by about half, the report said. “How well are Stafford schools doing? Well, they’re falling behind. They’re certainly not keeping up,” Riutta said. Improvement suggestions included smaller classroom sizes, reduced turnover, the removal of pay gaps in teachers’ earliest years; and improved professional development. On the bright side, Stafford had one of the highest percentages of students earning industry credentials in 2013-14. School board member Holly Hazard, Hartwood District, said she appreciated the committee’s attention to data. A year or two ago, she said, there wouldn’t have been access to all of the data that the committee presented in the time that Superintendent Bruce Benson has been at SCPS. The presentation was very broad instead of being microscopic on one thing, she explained. School board member Dewayne McOsker, George Washington District, agreed, adding that typically it takes a lot of time to obtain such information.

SHERIFF’S BRIEF WIDESCREEN TVS TAKEN FROM NORTH STAFFORD RESIDENCE A house at Goose Pond Road in North Stafford was ransacked and two widescreen televisions were taken when the occupants were on vacation, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Bill Kennedy said. A car that had been locked was unlocked. The frame on the back door had been broken. Items in the foyer of the home were askew. A neighbor reported that he had seen

two persons at the residence at 3 a.m. July 9 but thought they were neighborhood kids, Kennedy said. They were two black males, he said, one with dreads. One was sitting in a car and the other was outside. The break-in was reported July 19. Anyone with information is asked to call the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office at 540-658-4400 or Crime Solvers at 540-650-2020. Jim Lawrence

Quantico welcomes new commander

SCS

Northern Virginia Media Service

The command of Marine Corps Base Quantico passed from Col. David Maxwell to Col. Joseph Murray during a ceremony Friday at Little Hall. Maxwell had served as base commander since May 19, 2012. During his tenure aboard the base, Maxwell accrued a long list of accomplishments. On a daily basis he worked with commanding officers and civilian leaders from 20 tenant organizations aboard the base. He worked with numerous base representatives; federal, state and local community leaders; business owners and private citizens to manage community encroachment issues while maintaining full training capability. He played an integral role in developing the base master plan for the next 15 years. Additionally, Maxwell presided over approximately $300 million worth of military construction projects, including the construction of new buildings at The Basic School and Marine Corps University, and the widening of Russell Road. He ensured the Russell Road project was complete in time for the 2015 Department of Defense Warrior Games. In perhaps his most public achievement, Maxwell supervised three iterations of the Marine Corps Marathon, an event that Maj. Gen. Charles Hudson, commanding general of Marine Corps Installations Command, described as “the Marine Corps’ largest public relations event.” After the Boston Marathon bombing in April 2013, Maxwell invited the police chief of the COL. JOSEPH Boston Police Department to MURRAY

Hudson likened Maxwell’s role as base commander to that of “a mayor of a town with over 25,000 employees and residents.” At the end of the ceremony, Hudson presented Maxwell with the Legion of Merit medal. Following the reception, Maxwell was frocked to the rank of brigadier

immigrant community. But with recent events, Virginia officials shy away from acknowledging the ignominious moniker. What’s interesting and telling in Stafford are the local arrests statistics available only from a racial perspective. Kennedy says during the first six months of 2015 white males make up 62 percent of those arrested, black males 38 percent and 1 percent of others. For females it was 70 percent white, 30 percent black. These include numerous nonStafford residents. Perhaps the immigrant community has got the word about Stafford’s non-sanctuary attitude and tough but compassionate Commonwealth Attorney Eric Olsen. But it’s discerning our military on duty in Stafford and at Quantico remain unarmed. What’s clearly needed is military vigilance and individuals like Del. Scott Lingamfelter of Prince William, a 28-year Army combat veteran sponsoring common sense legislation responsibly arming them. Lingamfelter called the president’s comments about the recent lone gunman in Tennessee “feckless.” The brazen legislator up for reelection had the intestinal fortitude to call it like it is. Due to such mounting pressure, President Obama finally ordered all flags at half-mast in honor of the victims.

We add more lanes and neglect increasing mass transportation or locating major new business closer to the labor pool in the county. Isn’t now the time to think about how Staffordians will live 25 or more years from now? One would think that all those about 25 years or younger would someday be asking, will I be driving on jammed up 15 lanes of I-95, worrying about power failures and paying a pretty price for a glass of water when I’m 50 years old? Perhaps those who are in charge of creating and approving how folks live and work in Stafford can tell us that someone is thinking about that. Someone should, as they invite more and more people into the county. Harvey Gold can be reached at info@ staffordcountysun.com.

Cardboard boats compete to stay afloat

For the Stafford County Sun

Aquia Landing was storming with boats christened “Splish Splash,” “Two in a Melon” and “The Cicada” for the 12th annual Stafford Cardboard Boat Regatta the past weekend. This is the 11th year Stafford Parks and Recreation has teamed with the Rock Hill Ruritan Club to host this unconventional race. Past boats have featured themes such as Gilligan’s Island with a large working volcano, dragons and battle ships. This year was no exception for great designs. Some of the 12 boats afloat Saturday resembled a bath tub, a slice of watermelon, a Roman ship, large insects and classic row boats, all constructed of cardboard and adhesives. Race participants were given guidelines to create boats from materials such as caulking, liquid cement, glue and, most importantly, cardboard in order to compete for different titles in the regatta. Each year John Schumaker, president of the Rock Hill Ruritan Club, holds a class for participants to teach REGATTA PAGE 14 would-be sailors how to

Local players winding down minor league season DAVID DRIVER

For the Stafford County Sun

The Major League Baseball All-Star break ended last Friday and teams began the second half of the season. But for local minor league players, the end of regular-season play is just a few weeks away, as most minor leagues wrap up around Labor Day before the playoffs. Stafford County has players at high levels of minor league baseball. Jarrett Parker, an outfielder in the San Francisco Giants farm system, has been playing this year for Triple-A Sacramento in the Pacific Coast League. The Colonial Forge High and University of Virginia product was hitting .260 with 13 homers and 41 RBIs in his first 76 games for Sacramento. In a 10-game stretch through Friday, he hit just .194. Parker, a left-handed hitter, was drafted in the second round by the Giants out of Virginia in 2010. He has yet to play a game in the majors although he did spend a day with the Giants last year in a game in New York against the Mets. At the Double-A level, pitcher Kyle Haynes has been with Double-A Trenton of the Eastern League with the New York Yankees farm system this year. In his first 25 games, with nine starts,

he was 2-6 with a strong ERA of 3.15. Haynes recently moved into the starting rotation for Trenton and on July 16 he picked up the win by pitching six innings and allowing five hits and one walk at Binghamton against an affiliate of the New York Mets. Mountain View High grad Haynes was drafted out of VCU by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 20th round in 2012.

He was traded by Pittsburgh to the New York Yankees. Also at the Double-A level, Colonial Forge High graduate Levi Hyams is an infielder for the Mississippi Braves in the Atlanta farm system. He began the year at Single-A Carolina in the Carolina League and hit .286 in his first 84 at bats at the Double A-level with the Braves.

Hyams was drafted out of the University of Georgia by the Braves in the 19th round in 2012. He made his pro debut that year with Danville in the Appalachian League. Stafford High graduate Adam Lopez was playing earlier this year in the independent Frontier League before he signed a minor league deal with the Seattle Mariners. Lopez, a pitcher, had been with Southern Illinois in the Frontier League. “Our staff and players could not be happier for Adam,” Miners manager Mike Pinto said when Lopez signed with Seattle. “Not only has he been lights-out since joining the Miners, he has been the perfect fit in our organization on and off the field. We will miss him and at the same time wish him the very best with the Mariners. He has a great opportunity with them and there are big things ahead of him. Our organization is committed to helping players get the chance to pursue that dream and believe that dreams do come true in Southern Illinois.” The former VMI standout played in the Chicago White Sox system last year for Winston-Salem in the Single-A Carolina League.

STAFFORD SPORTS REPORT BRIAN WRIGHT

For the Stafford County Sun

It’s never too early to begin talking about football season. And with the schedules of the local team having been recently released, it’s as good a time as ever. Here is a rundown of the football slates for the Stafford-area schools.

STAFFORD The Indians open on the road, in an Aug. 28 match-up with Patriot. After hosting Woodbridge, Stafford opens conference play at Colonial Forge. They’ll have the fortune of having the home-field advantage for their annual

in-town battle with North Stafford, but have two of the last three away from their friendly confines.

NORTH STAFFORD Injuries were the main culprit for the Wolverines not being better in 2014. They hope for a reasonably healthy time of it in 2015. And to start, North Stafford’s opponent will be Osbourn on Aug. 28. Annually a tough draw, the Eagles will be debuting a brand new coaching staff — including head coach (and former Washington Redskins offensive lineman) Chris Samuels.

MOUNTAIN VIEW The Wildcats’ get the rare luxury of starting on a Thursday night, when most the other Virginia schools break into 2015 on the normal Friday. They also have the misfortune of opening up with three straight road games — Freedom, Osbourn Park and Gar-Field. It won’t be until Sept. 18 until Mountain View gets a home game, and that’ll come against Colonial Forge. In total, six of the 11 scheduled regular season contests are away games.

RIVERBEND Chancellor and Courtland are at the top of the Bears’ schedule. Once the team clears that early hurdle, it’ll have to deal with the two-week burden of Battlefield and Colonial Forge (Sept. 18 and Sept. 25, respectively). Fortunately, both are at home. The games against Forest Park and Woodbridge aren’t. The Bears finish up with Hylton the day before Halloween.

BROOKE POINT Black-Hawks versus Eagles is undoubtedly a must-see first week match-up. The opener against Colonial Forge sets the tone for a make-or-break opening month. Following meetings with Stonewall Jackson, Osbourn and Patriot, Brooke Point returns to conference play when they travel to North Stafford. From Oct. 16 to 30, the Hawks enjoy a three-week homestand.

COLONIAL FORGE They may begin the regular season in late August, but it’s hard to imagine the Eagles players and coaches don’t have an eye on October 16. That’s the day when Colonial Forge takes on fellow state standout Hylton. Adding more juice is the fact that Eagles head coach Bill Brown won two state titles with the Bulldogs. One interesting quirk about Forge’s schedule is that its bye week isn’t until the last week of October.

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT

Ways to step away from a landline phone When Bell Systems first began wiring for the telephone, it must have seemed almost magical to a nation still recovering from the Civil War. This week, I started to kill that magic. As a kid in the 60s, a long-distance telephone call was special, frightening and horribly expensive. If Grandma called from Florida, I might get to say a quick “Hi,” but anything else was too expensive. One didn’t call long distance without a specific agenda, sometimes even a script. And now, most phone calls within the country are free as part of your base service and even international calling is affordable. Yet, I am taking steps to avoid phone calls. There are simply faster, less intrusive ways to contact people and to be contacted. I feel guilty now calling someone. Are they alone or am I interrupting? Are they napping, in a meeting, having a moment with their loved one and forgotten to silence their phone? Are they likely to answer while driving, so my call is unsafe? And I might find an incoming call inconvenient for any of those reasons. Yet, I am forced to be polite and responsive to a caller.

And most infuriating is that most of ringers to the landline phones. I’d cancel the landline altogether, but the calls that come into our landline are solicitation calls. Businesses, charities it is better audio quality than my cell often times. If someone calls and the like call constantly me at home on my cell and asking the same question the quality is not good, I’ll call to which they have already them back on my landline. received a negative answer Verizon has a setting by from the 99 times they called which they email me when before.

But if someone calls me whom I don’t what to have the number, I can go to Voice’s website and say in the future to direct that call to voicemail or to a voicemail telling them why I’m not taking their call, or even to receive the “no longer in service” sound so they think my phone has been disconnected. Even if you do not have Google Voice, your carrier may let you block numbers from reaching your phone. I know Sprint has that feature. What about those times you do want to hear the sound of someone’s voice? Of course then, I still love to call. If I’m fearful if it is a good time or not, I’ll text first perhaps. Besides using a landline or cell, I’m as likely to do a Google Hangout or Skype call so I can see them as well. The promise of a video phone first made at the AT&T Pavilion at the 1964 World’s Fair has been realized, and it is free, even internationally.

“It absolutely sucks the life out of them and they’re not happy,” Hilliard added regarding traffic, noting that she hears frequent complaints that the HOT lanes, which now end in Stafford, have only exacerbated congestion. Hilliard said the county needs Metro to extend at least to Woodbridge as well as more commuter bus service and expanded commuter capacity on the Virginia Railway Express. A win for Hilliard would be considered a major upset this fall, given Howell’s long and successful tenure. But Hilliard said it might not be as far-fetched as people may think. “It’s not as red as people think,” she said of the 28th District, calling it more of a “purple district” that mostly suffers from voter drop-off in non-presidential

craft boats from cardboard. Schumaker and his family have been competing in the regatta since the contest began. The Rock Hill Ruritans are affiliated with Ruritan National, a community service organization. Their slogan is “Fellowship, Goodwill and Community Service” and they regularly sponsor community organizations and projects for youths. Most of the boats were already set up along the shore when a large truck containing the largest boat showed up. Ashton Engledow, Parker Newman, Alex Punzi, Mangus Wilson, Katie Tibun and Hunter Love, all co-workers in Dahlgren created the “Lavantern Lepus,” Latin for Bathing Rabbit. The boat was modeled after a traditional Roman-style boat. The unique name of the boat is an inside joke among the crew. The boat was meant for a 12-person crew but that was reduced to six people for the race. The “Lavantern Lepus” was constructed in four weeks and not tested before the race, said Ashton Engledow, the captain of the boat’s crew. The weight and size left the crew with the impression that the boat might not make it through the race. “We’re not really sure how this will turn out,” said Engledow. “We’re just hoping not to sink.” Prizes were given out and boats awarded titles for best effort, most creative, the Titanic award and others. The satirical award, the Titanic, was given to Beater Boat, which was constructed by four high school students from Mountain View. Many of the teams were families that worked for weeks to complete their cardboard vessel. The “Survivor,” built by George Irlbacher and his three granddaughters, won the title Pride of the Regatta. Members of the team were painted in camouflage to match the bright orange, green and black spots on their boat. According to Irlbacher, they spent more than a month working on the craft. “We built the ship in three parts,”

elections. In 2012, Romney and Obama split the vote with 49 percent each. “I’ll get out there and knock on enough doors in the district,” she added. “And that’s how I’ll win.” Del. Mark Cole, R-88th, Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th and Sen. Jill Holtzman Vogel, R-27th, are all running unopposed in the November contest. Only Cole appears to be taking a break from fund-raising, pulling in less than $9 in June. Cole lists more than $53,000 in cash on hand. Vogel raised $8,510 in June and has more than $225,000 in the bank, and Stuart raised $11,500, giving him more than $112,000 in cash on hand. The next campaign finance reports, which cover July and August, are due to the state Sept. 15. Jill Palermo can be reached at info@staffordcountysun.com. said Irlbacher. “We then took the three pieces and anchored them together with wooden boards that were later removed after the glue had dried.” According to the granddaughters, they chose the unique theme and camouflage design so other zombie hunters would see them coming: “Zombies cannot see color.” The Stafford Regional Chorale Society group Sound Check kicked off the races with their rendition of the national anthem and followed that with “What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor.” Some members of the group competed in boats Schumaker had rented for the competition. When the races began over 75 people were gathered to cheer on the competitors as they raced in various age categories. If the boat survived the first race, then the racers were allowed to compete in a second race. Most of the boats were able to make it to the second round. “Big and Tasty” and “Shark Attack” both fell apart mid-race, however the competitors were in good spirits as both crews worked to finish the race. The Beater Boat proved to uphold their Titanic title by only making it halfway through the race before succumbing to the water. In the final two races, the Luxury Liner and open age group categories, the “Lavantern Lepus” swept away the competition. The large boat had an enormous lead in both races. The team was met with cheers as they crossed the finish line first. “Our goal was just to be the biggest boat,” said Engledow. “My favorite part of the race was looking back and realizing we were winning the race by a clear lead. Next year we want to make the boat a little smaller, but we plan on coming back.” All funds raised at the regatta were used as prizes for the winners and to help fund an annual scholarship the Rock Hill Ruritan Club gives each year in the amount of $500 to three eligible high school seniors. They chose one student from North Stafford, Mountain View and Colonial Forge high schools. A fourth scholarship is given to a new elementary school teacher at Rock Hill Elementary.
