The Stafford County School Board voted Tuesday to allow the possibility of an additional 25 teaching positions, if financially feasible. The board voted unanimously to give Stafford County Public Schools Superintendent Bruce Benson the authority to move forward with as many of those full-time teaching positions that the schools system can afford. The figure includes last week’s agreement to allow 10 new spots for teaching positions and paraprofessionals. As the school year kicks off, school staff will monitor class sizes, especially in rooms that have more than 30 students. Some of the funding for the positions could come from salary lapses, but school staff won’t immediately know how that will affect the positions. Previously, seven positions were added to some of the county’s middle and elementary schools. Tuesday’s move is meant to keep class sizes lower and help remedy damage caused from previously cut positions and to make Stafford comparable to neighboring school systems, which have lower class-sizes overall. Also at the meeting, the school board: ■ heard a presentation on the schools system’s new MUNIS ERP financial system, which is expected to go live in July ■ exchanged reports about the first day of school, which went well despite some small transportation setbacks, they said ■ heard an update from Scott Horan, assistant superintendent for operations at SCPS, about Stafford High School. Horan said that temporary occupancy of parts of the building were reached, but that the following day, minimum requirements would have to be achieved for freshman orientation to go forward Thursday, and for school to open next week. “The school is coming together. The teachers are readying the rooms,” Horan told the school board. Tracy Bell can be reached at tbell@staffordcountysun.com.

Boy Scout’s longhouse encourages interactive learning AMANDA MOTLEY
For the Stafford County Sun
Friday, September 11, 2015 • www.insidenova.com/news/stafford/ • STAFFORD COUNTY SUN
For Joseph Sullivan a mandatory service project to advance from Life Scout to Eagle Scout was a way to get in touch with his heritage. The 13-year-old chose to build a scale model of a Patawomeck Indian longhouse behind Hartwood Elementary School. Joseph oversaw the entire process from the beginning stages of drawing the blueprints and presenting them for approval to building the structure with the help of family, friends and members of Troop 218. The project consists of a longhouse, fire pit and seating area for students to come and learn about nature and the local Native American heritage. Joseph and his family are members of the Patawomeck Native American tribe. His father, Quentin Sullivan, helped Joseph create the connections between his heritage and his service project. According to Quentin Sullivan, of the 1,500 members of the Native American group, 85 percent of the Patawomecks live in the Stafford County area. Joseph and his father received permission from a tribe member to cut down 50 cedar trees, which were then bent with copper and wooden stakes, and dried into the curved structure frame. Once dry, the cedar poles were placed into PVC pipes and cemented into the ground. Joseph said that this would help the structure withstand extreme weather conditions.

For six months they worked to clear the land, build the structure and make the area ready for the beginning of the current school year. Not only did Joseph do the actual work to create the project, but he also learned about his heritage. He learned what it was like to be a Native American and the struggles they faced when creating shelter. “My favorite part was learning about the history,” Joseph said. One historical inaccuracy that Joseph found in his research suggests that males
built the structures, which was not the case according to Patawomeck heritage. “That this is all-male built which is inaccurate,” joked Quentin. “The women were the ones who did all the building.” While this model is three times smaller than what an actual long house would be, they tried to be as historically accurate as possible. In the final stages of the building process, grass matting was added to the frame to create the outer shell. The matting was purchased from California, said Joseph, and

is the most accurate material that the Patawomecks would have used. The project began three years ago when a former teacher applied for a grant to build a long house in the back of the school to create an interactive learning environment. Upon winning the $500 in grant money, the plan was underway. Quentin learned about the project and how planners were meeting with the Patawomeck tribe to make sure the building was accurate. From there Joseph was brought on to fulfill his service project requirement, bringing the subject matter close to home. “We recognized the need to take children outside of the classroom environment, where they are learning by looking at worksheets and textbooks create that experience in our own backyard,” said Scott Elchenko, principal of Hartwood Elementary School. “By building our own nature trail and Native American house model, they will better understand what it was like to be a Native American.” The Sullivans also hope that this will help students understand history better and give them a sense of the past. “Hopefully students will be able to realize how different the past and present world is,” Joseph said. “This structure gives the perspective of what it was like to live like an Indian.” Joseph and his father are also working on a burnt-out canoe to show what the Patawomecks used for water transportation.

that the county has been aggressively marketing itself for years. Stafford County’s economic development staff, like the sales and marketing staff of any major business, is always looking for leads or word that perhaps a major business, or even a small business, is interested in relocating or expanding. If there is a prospect, they seem to get on it right away. And they put a lot of effort into follow through. It’s a highly commendable effort. What’s more, its focusing on the kind of growth that directly translates into new businesses and jobs in the community. Many businesses are attracted by where we’re situated. It’s close to D.C. and closer still to Fort Belvoir and the ever expanding presence at Quantico. Also, office space, because we have more available land, tends to be cheaper. It’s also, lest we leave this out, a community known for its friendliness and good schools. And, finally, the local government is consistently pro-business and has maintained relatively low taxes. The signs of this sustained increase in local employment are easy to see. There are new office buildings, new information technology parks and plenty of ads for new employees. It’s a dramatic change from the type of jobs we tended to grow in the past and means that finally Stafford is growing its own local industries. David Kerr can be reached at info@staffordcountysun.com. county is still mulling over the decision to allow the construction of the potential 2,957 housing units and 1.5-million square feet of commercial space that will surpass Stafford’s current largest community by about 500 units. And, it will be built adjacent to the Stafford Regional Airport. Is no one in Stafford government looking at regional airport accident reports? Who in the county government will be responsible for an accident from building too close to the airport? What about the comments from one or more supervisors that the airport should never have been built? Wasn’t it a previous board that authorized the airport because it would be a boon to business and growth for the county? Speaking of business and growth, who is really thinking about the traffic problems that exist now because of growth and lack of adequate roads and mass transportation? There is lots of discussion and surveys, and lots of “I like this, but I don’t like that” followed by years of no adequate solutions. In spite of the cost and the new toll lanes that were supposed to relieve congestion, long traffic back-ups continue to cause commuter delays. Ironically, the absence of a solution has given the Fredericksburg area and Stafford in particular the dubious distinction of having perhaps the worst traffic congestion in the nation.

Mountain View grad returns to action at JMU DAVID DRIVER
For the Stafford County Sun
M
ountain View High graduate Bailee Hubert had two surgeries in 2014 and had to miss the field hockey season at Division I James Madison University in Harrisburg. But after three surgeries in the past two years Hubert returned to action with the Dukes and came off the bench Aug. 30 in an 8-1 win over Longwood of Farmville. “It is really rewarding after such a long recovery process and see that pay off,” Hubert said. “You can overcome those barriers. You can adjust as an athlete.” What was the hardest part of last season? “Just seeing your team play. You just want to be out there,” she said before a recent practice at JMU. “You want to give athletically. You have to give in some other way (to the team). I wanted to be out there.” Hubert was able to travel with the Dukes for part of the 2014 season, including a trip to the Colonial Athletic
Association tournament as the Dukes made it to the title contest. “She is a solid p l a y e r,” said JMU head coach Christy Morgan, a former standout at ODU. “She is still kind of JMU field hockey player Bailee Hubert. recovering from SUBMITTED her surgery. We are trying to save her legs. She is just solid back there (on defense). She has got a great attitude. She is a great team player. She is all about the ‘we’ and not the ‘me.’ She adds so much to us.” Hubert is a redshirt junior defender this year. She has another year of eligibility remaining at JMU but is on track to graduate in the spring and won’t play in 2016. Hubert is studying health sciences and pre-occupational therapy, and plans to attend graduate school next year. Another Stafford resident with JMU
is Erin Husar, a senior forward from Stafford High. “Erin has grown to be a great competitor,” Morgan said. “She can definitely make things happen.” Hubert and Husar saw several familiar faces when JMU played Longwood earlier this season. The roster of the Lancers includes junior forward Colleen Hoffman (Mountain View), junior midfielder Lindsey Lysher (Stafford High) and senior midfielder Meghan O’Connor (North Stafford). So why do Stafford schools produce so many Division I field hockey players? “They have good high school programs and good club programs,” Morgan said. The players “are committed to get on the field. I think they take care of the details there. When you get players that come from that area with sound fundamentals you can build on it.” JMU improved to a record of 1-1 with the win against Longwood. “I think we were just fired up,” Hubert said. “He worked on some things and
changed some things in practice” after a 6-3 loss to Liberty in the previous game. JMU will try to build on its success from last year. “We lost a bunch of seniors but we have a big returning group of seniors,” Hubert said. “Having coach Morgan another year, we have created a culture.” Morgan returned to JMU in 2014 after she was the associate head coach at Wake Forest from 2011-13. This is her 10th season overall as the JMU coach. But JMU and Longwood are not the only state schools with field hockey players from Stafford. Hubert’s sister, Olivia, is a freshman on the field hockey team at Richmond. “This year is going to be crazy,” said Bailee Hubert, whose parents will try to see JMU and Richmond play as much as possible. JMU plays at Richmond on Sept. 11. Their parents attended JMU and their father was a wrestler for the Dukes. David Driver can be reached at info@ staffordcountysun.com .

STAFFORD SPORTS REPORT | BRIAN WRIGHT With Labor Day now passed, schools are back in session and fall is fast approaching. But the fall sports season for local high schools got their usual head start. Here’s a look at some Week 2 football action along with other regional headlines.
FOOTBALL
Mountain View’s 2-0 start can best be attributed to the outstanding early play of running back Jamil Collison-Cofie. After rushing for 238 yards and five touchdowns in the opening contest with Freedom, the junior put up 180 total yards and four TDs in the Wildcats’ 49-14 rout of Osbourn Park on Friday evening. For an offense that regularly thrives on the ground game, Collison-Cofie and head coach Lou Sorrentino are an ideal match. But the sensational tailback is also quite versatile, as 68 of his yards and two of his scores were accumulated through the air.
It’s extremely hard to recover once you fall behind 34-8. But the North Stafford Wolverines did their best to make up for lost time. In the end, however, it was Colonial Forge who prevailed with a last-gasp drive in a thrilling 43-41 track meet. The Eagles’ 26-point advantage in the first half was generated by junior running back Antonio McCray, who rushed for an amazing five TDs before the second quarter had concluded. But the Wolverines didn’t give in — and their comeback included a 99-yard kick return by Naukym Morton followed by an 89-yard TD reception by De’Curtis Davis. That pass play put North Stafford in front, 41-40, with time running down in the fourth quarter. Colonial Forge quarterback Owen Schneider, however, engineered a drive that would overcome his team’s second half collapse. He guided the offense 41 yards — including a key 15-yard connection with receiver
Roman Williams on fourth-and-10. Jadon Redding’s 32-yard field goal with 5.7 seconds left locked up the wild victory. Stafford struggled to generate wins in 2014…and it’s looking like it’ll be just as difficult of a task in 2015. The Indians allowed the Woodbridge Vikings to score 30 points in a second quarter explosion and won going away, 43-6. The only life provided by Stafford came on the first drive of the second half, when Daniel Smith scored on a 42-yeard touchdown run. But any semblance of momentum generated dissipated when Woodbridge intercepted quarterback Jamin Lane in the end zone on the Indians’ next possession.

Don’t block online ads – they help pay for free content Apple’s pending IOS 9 — and Howard Stern’s big mouth — have conspired to bring on what many fear will be a radical change to free content on the web. How many websites do you pay to use? Probably none, although hopefully you subscribe to the Prince William Today so you get unrestricted access to InsideNova. com. And maybe you pay for a couple of the national newspapers as well. Other than that, the content and services most of us appreciate such as Facebook, Google, Google Docs, Google Keep, Google Drive and others are free. Much of the content is free because it is supported by advertisements. For the cost of seeing a few ads along the way, we get to connect with friends, create documents, make lists, store files and much more. What Apple has done is put hooks into the upcoming IOS 9, the operating system for iPhones and iPads, which allows users to install apps to the Safari browser that will block ads. You will still see the web pages as you normally would, but without ads. Sounds great, until you consider the unintended consequences. Ad blocking has been around for quite a while on PCs, but not all that well known or used outside of techies. That’s where Howard Stern comes in.
On his Aug. 25 radio show a caller for the iPhone. The ads in apps will not responded to his on-air complaints about be blocked and development tools for seeing ads online, by telling him about ad creating iPhone apps make it very easy blocking software.

Today covering our community. This is a freelance job for me, and I could finance Family Tech in other ways, but the column wouldn’t be part of an important civic component. If ad income, already challenging as a monetization strategy, takes a major hit, some sites will disappear and the survivors will have try new strategies. One appearing more and more is ads that look like articles on news sites. While labeled as an ad, the label is not noticed by many readers who think they are reading a review of a new car, instead of an article written by the car company itself, for which the site was paid to publish. Or maybe micropayments might take off. You might see an article on how to repair a broken pipe and have to pay 99 cents to read it. That is something I’d like to see. If you buy a magazine for $6, and find three of the articles in it useful, you are already paying $2 an article. Why not take that strategy online? Micropayments could be a great way to encourage writers to generate informative articles, investigative pieces, short stories and even the most niche products will find an audience who will support them financially.
