Stafford County Fire and Rescue Chief Mark Lockhart answers questions about two Falmouth EMTs who were put on administrative leave for transporting a toddler to a hospital in a fire engine, an unusual procedure that led to a review. Lockhart announced Monday afternoon that both men were to be on duty later in the day.

Falmouth firefighters reinstated Facebook page created to support men who rescued baby having seizure TRACY BELL

Stafford County Sun

Stafford County Fire Chief Mark Lockhart said Monday at a press conference that two suspended firefighters would be immediately reinstated.

The fire department drew public criticism after the men were given administrative duties for transporting a baby having a seizure to a hospital in a fire engine.

Lockhart spoke to reporters at a press

conference, addressing fallout over the decision.

Both members, Capt. James Kelley and Sgt. Virgil Bloom, would be returned to operational status on Monday afternoon, Lockhart said.

The reason for the review was that transporting an individual in a fire engine is not part of the fire and rescue department’s normal process, he said.

The matter will still be reviewed by the state Office of EMS, and Lockhart would not say whether he would have taken different actions had he been in the situation.

After the news conference, Kelley said he is happy to be on active status again.

However, he added that he does not feel exonerated.

Parents of the 18-month old girl, Brian and Stacy Nunamaker, have praised the Falmouth Volunteer Fire Department firefighters as heroes for saving their daughter’s life.

The men were the first to arrive the morning of Feb. 27 in Fredericksburg when the child began to have a seizure.

The Stafford County School Board approved the schools’ system’s fiscal 2017 budget unanimously Tuesday.

The board agreed to a $270 million operating budget, which included SCPS Superintendent Bruce Benson’s recommended $1.2 million in local funding and an additional $1.7 million request that the school board agreed to add. The extra request would help with more than 100 new positions in Stafford County Public Schools if approved by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors.

“We wanted to make those ratios better in the classroom,” said school board member Patricia Healy, Rockhill District, explaining the school board’s reasoning for increasing its request.

School board member Scott Hirons, Falmouth District, also spoke about potential funding that could allow the schools division to cap elementary school classes at 24 students in Kindergarten, 26 students in grades 1-3 and 28 students in grades 4 and 5.

Hirons called this fiscal year’s budget process “probably one of the most productive and satisfying.”

Also at the meeting, Benson suggested a tele-town hall meeting, as the school board discussed the proposed 2017-2018 school calendar.

Benson said he has used the format in the past in a previous position.

Couple escapes fire in Rockhill A North Stafford couple escaped their single-family home as fire part of the first floor and spread through the roof Saturday afternoon, according to Assistant Fire Chief Mark L. Doyle.

Units from the Stafford County Fire and Rescue Department were dispatched around 2:20 p.m. to 6 Franklin St. in the Rockhill District.

Engine 8 from the Rockhill Station arrived at 2:30 p.m., Doyle said.

The firefighters deployed hand lines and mounted an aggressive interior

POLICE BRIEF MAN HOSPITALIZED AFTER ONVILLE ROAD SHOOTING A man is in a hospital after he suffered a gunshot wound near 150 Onville Road, at the Eagles Nest apartments, around 3:15 a.m. March 8, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokesman 1st Sgt. Eric Quinn said.

The wound, allegedly the result of a street robbery, is not life-threatening, Quinn said.

No further details were available.

attack, bringing the fire under control within 30 minutes.

No one was injured and the occupants did not need help from the Red Cross, Doyle said.

Also responding were firefighters from Rockhill, Mountain View, Stafford, Hartwood, Falmouth, Berea, Aquia, Garrisonville, Brooke, White Oak, and Rockhill Rescue. Rehab 4, the Stafford Sheriff ’s Office and the Stafford fire marshal were also at the scene.

Area house costs decline in fourth quarter Despite a decline in year-over-year median home prices, the Washington region, which includes Stafford County, remains the 14th priciest real estate market in the nation, according to new data from the National Association of Realtors.

The region’s median sales price of single-family homes stood at $371,600 in the fourth quarter of 2015, according to new figures, down 0.3 percent from $372,800 during the same period in 2014.

That’s 67 percent higher than the national single-family median price of

$222,700 for the last quarter of 2015, up 6.9 percent from a year before.

The region’s sales prices never dipped quite as significantly as most of the nation during the recession, but also have not been growing as much — if at all — over the past several years. Washington was one of only two metro areas in the 15 highest-cost communities to post a yearover-year decline in median sales price, and was one of just 34 out of 179 metro areas nationally to see a decline.

Nationally, the highest median sales price for the fourth quarter was $940,000, reported in the San Jose,

Calif., metropolitan area, followed by $781,600 in San Francisco and $716,600 in Honolulu.

California locales held down spots 4-5-6, with Anaheim at $708,700, San Diego at $546,800 and Los Angeles-Long Beach at $481,900.

At the other end of the scale was Youngstown, Ohio, with a median sales price of $81,200, followed by Cumberland, Md. ($86,100); Rockford, Ill. ($87,600); Decatur, Ill. ($90,000); and Wichita Falls, Texas ($101,900).

Some rules are just guidelines Some rules are meant to be broken, an old saying goes. Sometimes the rules are wrong, other times the rules get in the way of accomplishing a necessary task.

Rules are needed for us to be able to reach a goal, to cope with the everchanging situations in our daily lives.

Red lights/green lights provide us with a way of dealing with the massive traffic on Garrisonville Road. Most people obey the lights and traffic moves quite well, given the circumstances.

But every now and then, the rules get broken for something that is more important, more immediate than the usual. An ambulance or a fire truck on the way to an emergency breaks the green light/red light rules as it tries to make its way along Garrisonville

Road. Most drivers understand the situation and make an effort to create a passage for the emergency vehicle.

Recently there was a situation where the existing rules had to be broken for the sake of someone’s health. EMTs in a fire truck were first on the scene of a child in jeopardy.

She was turning blue and needed advanced care.

While the fire truck was not designated as a vehicle appropriate for transporting patients, the EMTs had no other choice. Waiting for an appropriate vehicle to handle the emergency transport may have further jeopardized the young patient’s health.

We agree with the EMTs that the rules had to be broken to get the child to the hospital. While we understand

that a violation of the rules requires an investigation, maybe the investigation should be of the rules themselves.

We suggest that another rule be added to the transportation rule: When there is an emergency, any available vehicle should be used to get the victim to better medical care.

The rule makers should make another rule, that helping save a life is more important than following the other rules.

That’s what happens in the case of fire trucks and ambulances responding to an emergency: the green light/red light rules don’t really apply. They are superseded by other considerations.

Teachers also teach hope

It seems to me…being a teacher in their brain is not academic. This is what Stafford County is no easy task. First teachers have to compete with during the there is the issue over non-competitive hours when learning should be the first salaries that drove many teachers to find and only order of business. Teachers have positions in other locations. When all to be clever, inventive and inspiring, not the while the school board had more only to keep the students’ attention but than $8 million, it didn’t to plant knowledge in those know it had or knew it had it heads that are surrounded by but didn’t know where it was, daily distractions. or knew it had it and didn’t It has been my experiwant to spend it on the most ence that teachers also teach important resource it has. hope. They do it by instilling And the teachers who a love of learning and inquiry remained in Stafford often HARVEY GOLD which leads to knowledge had to spend their own money that can be applied to everything on supplies or ask parents for it. But students will face in the future. Faced that’s history and the teachers are faced with the conditions in the world today with more than economic challenges. and even in our country, presenting Every day they face a world that is hope is a great challenge. Teachers can’t chaotic in every aspect, and daily they teach hopelessness or despair, they have have to present to their students all the to show there is a reason to learn all material they will need for a successful the knowledge they try to stuff in the future. They have to be a positive force students’ distracted heads. in shaping an optimistic outlook in Another thing all teachers have to their students’ lives. Today, that ain’t no teach, along with their subject matter, easy task. is respect.

Certainly they must teach For example, the issue of cell phone respect for the knowledge they are use has to be a challenge. Not only are imparting.

If they don’t show a high students distracted from what they esteem for their subject matter then are supposed to be learning, but they students will see no reason to learn it. have been embedded with the subconBut aside from respect for the subject, scious idea that what is on their cell every teacher has to teach respect for phones is the most important information. So teachers have to compete with how to behave in class, toward fellow cell phone, non-educational stuff on students, to their teacher and their students’ computers and earphones that school. This is especially difficult in keep the students in touch with their today’s society, where the disdain and disrespect for government, the law, each favorite entertainment guru.

It would be nice if the students were other, even parents, is not unusual. Every learning a foreign language on those ear day students see how folks disregard the buds or listening to someone reading a law in the road rage that has become so great piece of literature. We know what common and in the way they drive their is going through their auditory canal to cars. Many times students unfortunately

try to mimic the irresponsible behavior.

Perhaps the ultimate disrespect students will be viewing is how those who are running for the highest office in the land, if not the world, are disrespecting each other and consequently all those watching them.

How does a civics teacher explain the vulgar behavior of our presidential candidates? How does any teacher teach respect and civility in the classroom when daily we see candidates, one of whom will be the president of our country, calling each other liars, cheats, stupid and hateful of one group or another?

In addition, they display this horrible behavior while talking when another is talking or all are trying to talk at the same time raising their voices to drown out the others. And, we ask our teachers to compete with all of these anti-learning attitudes and teach their subject material as well. Today, that is a tall order.

But every day teachers try to do all the right things in spite of the competing contradictory actions the world and our society present.

All this is ironic since teachers have our students more hours than parents do. And in this time we require them to overcome the competing undesirable forces and turn out the well-educated, model citizens we expect from our educational system.

So shouldn’t we support the teachers with decent competitive salaries, the means and tools to teach, and the support for behavioral standards in and out of the classroom?

It occurs to me that if we don’t, one of our students could grow up to be a presidential candidate.

Irish musicians to perform at Forest Park high

CHANGE OF WATCH

Two legends of Irish music, Phil Coulter and Andy Cooney, join forces for “Celtic Crossings” in a rare North American tour that stops at the Forest Park High School auditorium on Friday, March 18, at 8 p.m.

The Father Mychal Judge, O.F.M. Division of the Ancient Order of Hibernians in Triangle will host the only D.C.-area appearance of this 10-city North American tour. It will be an evening of great music by Coulter, featuring many of his classic songs, sung by Cooney, whom the New York Times referred to as Irish America’s favorite son.

Coulter from Derry, Northern Ireland, and Cooney from New York join forces with special guest Geraldine Branagan and The Irish Pops Ensemble.

The concert will feature offerings from their latest releases. Coulter’s “Echoes Of Home” is a collection of Celtic melodies, while Cooney’s “Bright Brand New Day” features many of his songs, including a highly charged ballad of love and loss, “Noreen,” according to a news release.

Originally composed by Coulter as a wedding gift to Liam Neeson and his bride, the late Natasha Richardson, the melody was first named for the actress. It was years later, after she died in a ski accident, that lyrics were added and the song was renamed “Noreen.”

Concert tickets are $36-$49 advance at celtic-crossingsdc16.org or for $41-$54 at the door, cash only.

Mid-Potomac Sail & Power Squadron leadership changed recently with the 15th Change of Watch ceremony on Feb. 27. Outgoing Commander Ed Overton passed the commander’s flag to incoming Commander Marla Spath. In accepting her post, Spath challenged the squadron to continue doing more to increase awareness of safety and education for the boating community.

The squadron is a social, civic and educational organization dedicated to safe and fun operation of recreational boats on the waterways. Members are primarily in the Occoquan to Colonial Beach area of the Potomac River and adjacent inland areas.

Cat in the Hat spotted at Porter It was not exactly on his birthday, but fans of Dr. Seuss came to celebrate the day with cake and books on March 5.

Parts of the Porter library were devoted to having fun in the spirit of Theodor Seuss Geisel, who penned whimsical works as Dr. Seuss.

The NEA got into the spirit some years ago and proclaimed that March 2 should be Read Across America Day. Even President Obama proclaimed the day important and quoted the doctor’s words in a proclamation: “The more that you read, the more things you will know.

The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.”

The local gathering, with refreshments and games, was sponsored by the Friends of the Library in partnership with the Mountain View High School Family Career and Community Leaders of America.

Many students and even some librarians sported Seuss gear, and that Cat in the Hat was seen skulking about in the library that day.

The cat in that familiar hat stops by for a chat with 2-year-old Ella Basgall, as Dryad Scaggs, 5, continues coloring at the Porter library on the belated birthday anniversary of Theodor Seuss Geisel, known to many as children’s author Dr. Seuss. Helping with the coloring is Louise Sipes, age unavailable.

Stafford teens move books, tend to garden Stafford C ounty’s Ser vice Learning and Youth Leadership Development program was formed in September as a way for teens to learn leadership and help the community, according to Paula Santoro, of the Parks and Recreation Department.

Helping move books at the Porter library are, from left to bottom right, Kristiana Jackson, Ian Thrasher, Delante Joiner and Kimora Jackson.

SUBMITTED

Teens 12-15 can join the group, which represents different backgrounds with students from different schools in the community.

“We meet once a month to discuss and plan projects, have community speakers from different service agencies present their missions,” Santoro said, “and once a month as a group, we go out into the community to perform a one-time service project.”

The group has helped the Stafford SPCA, the Cold Weather Shelter in Fredericksburg and assisted with Parks and Recreation programs.

Last month, the students visited the Porter library and worked with three librarians to move more than 5,500 books in the teen area.

“They came to Porter and helped us with our goals of making books easier for readers to find and improving the appearance of our Young Adult area,” Bridget Harvey, Porter’s Youth Services Manager, said.

The group also spent time clearing a garden at the library that provides vegetables for Stafford County’s food bank, SERVE.

Sannicolas part of scoring duo for Mountain View DAVID STEGON

For the Stafford County Sun

The Mountain View girls’ soccer team lost 11 players who contributed to a 15-3-2 season, but the team is getting a kind-of-new addition that will help, at least a little, with the loss.

After a season focusing on travel soccer, Ashley Sannicolas returns to the Wildcats for her senior year. She played for the school her freshman and sophomore years, but sat out last season to improve her overall game with the hopes of attracting college offers.

With a scholarship from Liberty University in hand, she’s now back.

“I would hear from my friends about the team activities, the sleepovers, and I missed being a part of that,” Sannicolas said. “At the same time, that year away allowed me to now play at a college I’ve always wanted to go to, so it was worth it.”

An attacking midfielder known for setting up teammates, Sannicolas will team with reigning Conference 15 player of the year — and her best friend — Mary Grace McGregor to form a dynamic scoring duo.

Mountain View Coach Steve Cassiday said Sannicolas excels in setting up teammates, creating scoring attempts for other players by drawing attention to herself. Like a point guard in basketball,

she’d rather initiate the pass that set up the score than score herself.

“She makes everyone around her

better,” Cassiday said. She has great vision and puts people in spaces that allow them to be successful. She’s just

very solid all around.”

Sannicolas admits that as she prepares for college her mentality will need to change a little. She jokes her mom gives her a hard time about passing up shots in order to pass, but this season she will need to be a little more aggressive around the net.

“College coaches want people that can make a difference,” she said. “I know I’m going to need to shoot more and be more of an attacking midfielder. It’s just going to be an exciting season.”

Sannicolas said she and McGregor have played soccer together since they were little kids. McGregor, a University of Richmond signee, made a huge impact last year, scoring 17 goals and notching 16 assists as Mountain View made the regional playoffs.

With the two back together, the key for Mountain View will be adding pieces around them. Cassady said he has a number of younger players ready to contribute. If they’re open, Sannicolas will find them with a pass.

“Ashley’s demeanor never changes,” Cassiday said. “Regardless of the score, regardless of the decision she needs to make, she’s a very confident player.”

Team Power Kix wins at U.S., Canada taekwondo championships

10

The Silver State of Nevada hosted the silver anniversary of the prestigious taekwondo U.S. Open as well as the 2016 U.S. Olympic Team Trials.

Stafford’s Team Power Kix took 12 athletes to the event Feb. 3-7.

Both events were held at the RenoSparks Convention Center. The five-day, international G-2 rated competition is the largest international taekwondo event in North America.

Team Power Kix did an excellent job

and demonstrated an extraordinary level of skill, according to a news release.

The efforts resulted in improving their wins by nearly twice as many as last year.

Joseph Rohal, a junior from Mountain View High School, was one of those that bettered his performance from last year, winning a silver medal in the Junior male 59-kg. category. A number of other athletes also finished in Elite Eight within their divisions.

“I was overwhelmed. My goal was

certainly not to win medals, but to improve and we did,” said head coach Arlene Limas, a gold medalist in the 1988 Olympics. “My athletes showed they were ready for the spotlight and they took care of business.”

Other Power Kix participants in the 2016 US Open Taekwondo Championships included Charlie Buset, Keegan Chaney, Hunter Cobb, Brandon Curry, Jonathan Healy, Alison Fetchko, Devon Lewis, Taylor Macleod, Wardell Samotshozo, Jordan Stewart and Matt Vickers.

Only 96 hours after competing in the U.S. Open, Team Power Kix headed to Montreal for this year’s Canada Open on Feb. 11-14.

The 2016 Canada Open and Canada Para Open 2016 are among the most prestigious competitions approved by the World Taekwondo Federation, according to the release. Both competitions allow athletes to accumulate points toward potential participation in the World Championships and/or the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Jon Healy won gold in the Senior Men’s Division +87 kg.; Omar Shuhait won gold in the Cadet Men’s Division -37 kg.; Ainsley Vickers won gold in the Youth Women’s Division +40 kg.; Jordan Steward won a bronze in the Senior Women’s -73 kg.; Brayden Hanny won bronze in the Junior Men’s Division -48 kg.; and Madison Cobb won bronze in the Cadet Women’s Division -33kg.

The competition saw the introduction of a new referee management process, where referees were randomly selected by computer for each match, excluding referees from competing countries. The showcase event, 2016 USA Taekwondo Nationals Championships, will take place in Richmond on July 4-10.

A shortstop is normally a leader on a softball team, especially when it comes to talking to her pitcher and communicating with the rest of the infield.

That can be a challenge for a freshman shortstop, but Rachael Payne handled the role well last season for Division III Christopher Newport.

“Most people were pretty welcoming,” Payne said of the role. “We work together more than just one person leading.”

The Brooke Point High graduate played in all 27 games for the Captains as a freshman and was the main starter at short. She had a fielding average of .952 and hit .264 in 72 at-bats, and was second on the team with five homers.

Payne drove in 15 runs and scored 19, and had three RBIs in the NCAA Regional Championship game against Randolph-Macon. She was named to the Capital Athletic Conference allacademic team.

Now she is back as the main shortstop for Christopher Newport as a sophomore.

“Most of the people are back. Some people decided not to play because it was not for them,” Payne said.

What is the strength of the team this season?

“Probably all around [ability]. We work on all aspects as much as possible.

We will work on all sorts of things,” she said.

The Captains won their first eight games this season as Payne started each game and hit .368. CNU is slated to begin play in a Leadoff Classic in Columbus, Georgia, on March 11. Payne said Salisbury will again be one of the teams to beat this season in the CAC. Payne played softball, basketball and field hockey for four years at Brooke Point.

While messenger is popular in the U.S., WhatsApp is phenomenally successful outside the U.S. Working over the internet, we can easily text one another without worrying about carrier texting costs on either end. The texts can contain photographs, something that standard carrier texting does not always support.

The app also lets us make phone calls without using minutes. International calling and texting can cost.

In the work environment, many now use Slack to communicate among teams. Slack allows everyone on the team to see the conversation.

There are mechanisms for communicating publically, privately, to teams and to individuals. It lets users share files and comment on those files. It works both on the desktop and on phones.

It maintains the conversation, so if someone joins a team late, they can see the conversation to that point.

Search makes it easy to find past information as well.

Slack can also be integrated with a lot of other tools, such as Dropbox, Hangouts, Twitter, Google Drive and many more.

Slack requires you to approve a team member’s participation first, so no strangers can access your steams.

There is a free tier to Slack, so it could be used by parents organizing children’s athletic teams or homeschool parents coordinating joint outs and learning opportunities, or any other group collaboration efforts we are involved in.

“Even with slightly cooling demand, the unshakable trend of inadequate supply in relation to the overall pool of prospective buyers inflicted upward pressure on home prices,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors. “As a result, home ownership continues to be out of reach for a number of qualified buyers in the top job-producing, but costliest, parts of the country — especially on the West Coast and parts of the South.”

Also at the meeting, the school board: ■ heard an update on the schools’ system’s new Enterprise Resource Planning system. On May 12, 2015, Stafford County Public Schools contracted with Tyler Technologies to implement a financial and human resources/payroll and benefits management information ERP system.

Tyler Technologies’ system, called Munis, is used by more than 1,400 public schools nationally. Munis will be implemented over the next two years in order to improve existing processes for accounting, applicant tracking, benefits, budgeting, financial reporting, payroll, purchasing, recruitment, time and attendance, training, travel and more.

In March, phases of testing the system will be implemented and in April, training will kick off. On April 1, 2017, the system will have its first live payroll run.

Tracy Bell can be reached at tbell@staffordcountysun.com. sale, buyers are likely to see little relief in the form of slowing price growth in the months ahead,” Yun said.

Despite lower mortgage rates and an increase in the national family median income ($68,034), rising home prices caused affordability to fall in the fourth quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

To purchase a single-family home at the national median price, a buyer making a 5-percent down payment would need an income of $49,535, a 10-percent down payment would require an income of $46,928, and $41,714 would be needed for a 20-percent down payment. The more expensive the market, the more household income would be required.

Data for the first quarter of 2016 will be reported in May.

input from the school community in a town hall phone call, allowing for greater input than there would be if the school board only heard from those who speak publicly at school board meetings. The board could also obtain input on other subjects, he said.

A calendar committee discussed several variations of a traditional 180-day school calendar and considered pre-Labor Day and post-Labor Day start options. The committee’s consensus was to select one of the post-Labor Day options, and Benson chose one of the options.

The difference between the options was whether or not to make Nov. 10 an early-release day, which would make Dec. 21 a holiday, or to make Nov. 10 a holiday and Dec. 21 an early-release day.

The committee preferred the latter.

The school board discussed the matter as an informational topic and will take action on the item at a future meeting.

The tele-town hall, if utilized, would allow parents to dial in to a phone line from the comfort of their homes and ask questions and provide input on

further action depends on information he gets from a FOIA request.

A Facebook page also surfaced following the incident, titled Reinstate Our Heroes Stafford, in support of the firefighters. It received more than 7,400 “likes.”

Some of the pages comments included: “Such a shame! There should be no protocol on saving a life!” and “Breaking protocol to save a life that otherwise might not have survived is priceless and heroic. They should be rewarded, not punished!”
