Woman faces DUI after driving into wall of Bed, Bath and Beyond Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office deputies charged a women with driving under the influence around Stafford Marketplace and colliding into several objects, including the brick wall of Bed Bath and Beyond, according to spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo. The wild ride ended after the vehicle went through a fence and crashed into a boulder at Moncure Elementary School. It all started around 7:25 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 19, when deputies got a report of a drunken driver at the Wendy’s on Garrisonville Road in North Stafford. A witness told deputies that a vehicle crashed into an unoccupied vehicle and a light pole, leaving the front license plate embedded in the pole after it drove away, Vicinanzo said. Another witness reported the vehicle drive over the curb onto Garrisonville Road, nearly hitting several vehicles head-on. The witness said the vehicle was driven recklessly through Stafford Marketplace, almost hitting several vehicles and objects. As the witness followed, the vehicle then careened into the brick wall of Bed Bath and Beyond, causing damage to the vehicle. The wall was not damaged, Vicinanzo said. As the vehicle backed up, it hit a sign, a metal bench and a large

flower pot — all of which were significantly damaged. The driver, later identified as Sherry Fitzgerald, 51, of Stafford, then continued traveling toward Lowe’s at a high rate of speed. The witness saw Fitzgerald drive SHERRY her vehicle across FITZGERALD Staffordboro Boulevard into the commuter lot and then straight toward the bus gate entrance of Moncure Elementary School. Fitzgerald vehicle drove through the closed right gate and eventually crashed into the boulder. The vehicle was significantly damaged and all air bags had deployed. Field sobriety tests were conducted and Fitzgerald admitted to drinking alcohol and taking multiple over-the-counter drugs, as well as a prescription medication that was not prescribed to her. She was incarcerated at Rappahannock Regional Jail on an unsecured bond. She is charged with driving under the influence, hit and run, destruction of property and a traffic violation.

Man killed in head-on wreck on Shelton Shop Road A Stafford County man died after a two-vehicle accident near the intersection of Shelton Shop and Winding Creek roads in North Stafford on Jan. 24, according to sheriff ’s office spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo. Omio Chowdhury, 31, was driving a Nissan Rogue south on Shelton Shop Road around 4 p.m. when his SUV was struck head-on by a Nissan Xterra traveling north. The preliminary investigation, led by Deputy Kevin Lytle, indicates the Xterra went off the roadway onto the right shoulder with the passenger side tires.

The driver traveled through the ditch for several hundred feet before overcorrecting and crossing the double yellow line, striking the Rogue head-on. Chowdhury was taken to Mary Washington Hospital where he died of his injuries. The driver of the Xterra also was taken to Mary Washington Hospital for serious injuries that were not life-threatening. Neither driver was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending, Vicinanzo said.

— is making significant progress on developing its own bi-partisan redistricting commission. This will take a Constitutional amendment, which means it has to pass the General Assembly twice and then be voted on by the electorate. A bill to do just that was introduced in the Virginia Senate sponsored by both a Republican and a Democrat, but old habits die hard and the bill died in committee pretty much along party lines. There is a strong belief that had it made it to the floor of one or both houses it would have passed. Perhaps it’s human nature that once politicians get control of a legislative body, they are willing to do just about anything — including subverting democracy — to hang onto it. That, after all, is what gerrymandering is all about. What’s more, it’s subtle and complicated, and is usually a done deal before the public gets a chance to sort out what’s going on. But now this affront to the way we choose our legislators, after years of dominance, seems to be taking it on the chin.

TO THE EDITOR The following comment is in response to Harvey Gold’s column “Our children will run our future” (Jan. 25): I am much more concerned by violence in media desensitizing our kids. While no direct correlation has been proven, between media and enacted violence, I can’t help but believe desensitizing kids as their minds form, must have some impact. Combined with the isolating nature of social media, we have created a serious issue for the fringe kids that are simply unable to cope. Add easy access to firearms, and the result is far worse than ethical implications of temptation island. “tman” The following comments are in response to “Republicans stop effort for Equal Rights Amendment in Virginia House subcommittee” (online, Jan. 22): What a crock of .....

by the democrats, they want to pretend it’s still 1972 and not 2019. With all the work that is needed to be done down in Richmond can’t the democrats find something else to do besides wasting everyone’s time trying to get cheap attention? “insidebugging” What is the purpose of passing this law? We already have the Equal Pay Act, the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labor Standards, Title IX, and Family and Medical Leave Act. Additionally, we have Roe v. Wade. There are legal remedies if any of these laws are violated. So, what is the purpose of this ERA Act? “Citizen52” The following comment is in response to “Amazon economic incentive plan moves another step closer to Northam” (online, Jan. 28): These incentives and tax breaks is why smaller businesses can never compete with

large corporations. This is the opposite of a free market. Luis Ramirez The following comment is in response to “Pop-up food pantries scheduled to help furloughed government workers” (online, Jan. 24): In the real world, you wouldn’t be required to work for free. That’s slavery. In the real world, if you are laid off, you can look for other work. Many government jobs require that outside employment be pre-approved. With the shutdown, many of those required to approve are unable to work in order to make such approvals. Employees who do jump the gun and take outside work face the possibility of huge fines. In the real world, those who are laid off or let go are eligible for unemployment insurance. Many of these furloughed workers are not, even though they have paid into the system. “swandive”

New beverages flow in North Stafford JULIA LEDOUX » BY FOR INSIDENOVA

Beer lovers in the area can now lift a pint at Northern Virginia’s newest craft brewery. Located at 15 Tech Parkway, just off Garrisonville Road in North Stafford, Barley Naked has a friendly atmosphere and an open concept design that allows patrons to see their favorite flavors being brewed before their eyes. “People actually talk to each other and the staff knows your name,” said a visitor who was enjoying a pint of the fermented barley.

Owner Barry K. Boyd said it takes about 21 days to brew beer. The process begins when raw grains are cracked. “Once I steep those grains in 150 degree water, it changes all those starches,” he said. Barley Naked offers an assortment of beers from pales to stouts. For now, the brewery produces eight flavors in their four 7-barrel and one 3.5-barrel fermenters. The beverages’ names reflect the flavors: Cream Ale, Saint Anthony Witbier, 28 Schilling Ale, Rock Hill Irish Red, Luftkuss German Pils, Hop Naked IPA,

Rye Double IPA and The Bentley Smoked Porter. Boyd even blended a special beer in Barley Naked Brewing Company is one of several new businesses in the area of Garrisonville honor of the Marine Corps’ birthday. and Furnace roads.

DMV Connect expands services to Fredericksburg area The Department of Motor Vehicles is expanding its mobile outreach by adding a DMV Connect team in Fredericksburg. The Fredericksburg DMV Connect team is traveling in the region offering convenient services to customers who might not be able to visit a DMV customer service center. Stops include government centers, libraries, colleges and universities and more. DMV Connect teams set up at a table inside the facility and offer all transactions except vital records and testing. Some of the scheduled visits in the Fredericksburg region include monthly stops at Fredericksburg City Hall, the Spotsylvania County Holbert Building and the Stafford DMV Select office. DMV Connect will be at University of Mary Washington, 1600 College Ave.,

on Wednesday, Jan. 30, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. While more than 40 DMV transactions can be conducted online, customers who need to go to DMV can look for a mobile visit that, in many cases, has shorter wait times than customer service centers. Customers can apply for a REAL ID compliant driver’s license or ID card while visiting DMV Connect or DMV 2 Go. Customers are encouraged to renew their vehicle registrations online or at a DMV Select office; but when conducting driver’s license transactions, a DMV Connect team may be the best choice.

Stafford schools introduce Early Childhood Education Program

The Fredericksburg Christian Schools’ building in North Stafford is now the North Star Early Childhood Education Center. ALEKS DOLZENKO/INSIDENOVA

Stafford County Public Schools is excited to introduce the Early Childhood Education Program. Beginning in the fall of 2019, the division will combine Head Start, Early Head Start, Virginia Preschool Initiative and Early Childhood Special Education into a unified program for students to 5 years old. The new Stafford Schools Early Childhood program will have two locations starting in August. The division will open the new early childhood facility, North Star Early Childhood Education Center off Garrisonville Road in North Stafford, in August.

Former Colonial Forge standout Shakira Austin (Maryland) has been selected as one of 15 basketball players on the Naismith Defensive Player of the Year Watch List. Austin is the only freshman to make the list for the national honor. Austin has been a force on the defensive end for the Terps, already breaking Marissa Coleman’s freshman blocks record, with 53 through 19 games this season, the second best mark in the Big Ten. Austin also ranks fourth in the conference, aver-

aging 10.8 rebounds per game. Austin has seven double-doubles this season and has had 10+ rebounds in 13 of Maryland’s 19 contests. Against Delaware on Dec. 20, Austin tied the Maryland single game block record with eight. Austin’s had seven games with four-plus blocks. Austin has earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors five times this season and was named the USBWA National Freshman of the Week on January 15.

Socializing ideas when you’re on a budget The first 16 weeks of a puppy’s life are crucial for socializing. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, it is important for development and skills learning that puppies remain with their mothers until 8 – 10 weeks of age. During this time, the breeder or rescue should be building the foundation for future homes. From there, the owners take over construction. The first weeks you have that pup you need to hit the ground running (in a way that is specific for the individual puppy). As someone who has lived on tight budgets, I recognize the need to help owners manage costs wherever I can. There are many things you can do for socializing that are low cost to free. Carefully working with puppies and different sounds can reduce the risk of puppies becoming sound-phobic adults. When I have a puppy, I will use various things to help puppies learn that sounds are fun: music of all kinds, movies from low key to rowdy action and horror, sounds from video games, traffic sounds, Quantico training, incoming storms, etc. Check out different sound effect videos and phone apps. Puppies who are not exposed to different surfaces may be apprehensive about walking over new things. In most neighborhoods you should be able to find grass, asphalt, concrete, mulch and gravel. Find areas with sandy surfaces. Mesh cakecooling racks placed upside down can help puppies get used to grated surfaces. Don’t forget different types of flooring. Puppies need positive associations with their own specie. A carefully run puppy play group or socializing class is safer than a dog park. This is one place I would recommend spending the money. Alternatively, if you have friends with social dogs that accept puppies, get together for frequent play dates at each other’s homes.

Each week you should visit four or five new places with the chance to observe or carefully interact with different things each trip. It sounds like a lot, but it can be done easily if you look around you. Vary the routes you walk. With one pup, one of my favorite areas to sit, observe and listen to things was the I-95 southbound rest area in Dale City. How many open college campuses are around here? Sit away from commotion and watch the activities. Allow the pup to interact with respectful people who are not overwhelming him. Multiple short, low-stress, fun sessions are better than trying to accomplish it all in one day. Longer, stressing sessions may negatively affect a puppy’s socializing. When your pup is gaining confidence, increase the amount of activity he is exposed to. Check out historic areas in different towns. Some garden centers and home improvement stores allow dogs. If you want a bit of a drive, Bass Pro Shop has an elevator where we used to teach dogs that elevators are fun. We have many open-air shopping centers. Check out the various free parks and trails in the region. Teach your puppy how to behave at cafes or ice cream shops with outdoor seating. River Mill Park in Occoquan is a great place to listen to the water and different sounds. There is a small window for optimal socializing. The more careful work we do during the first 16 weeks or so of life, the better it is for pups. Many undesired behaviors I work with come from a lack of socializing or from improper socializing when puppies are young. Early work is not an option. It is an obligation to your companion.

Lee’s expectations subject of Fredericksburg lecture “Reading Lee: Robert E. Lee’s Great Expectation of 1862” with historian Dennis Frye will be presented Friday, Feb. 1, 7-9 p.m., at the Fredericksburg Branch of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library, 1201 Caroline St. The lecture will last about an hour and be followed by a question and answer session, according to the library. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. This annual lecture is part of the Reading Lee program sponsored by the LeeJackson Educational Foundation and features nationally recognized authors who present research and insights on Robert E. Lee. The Confederacy was at its zenith, and Lee knew it. “The present seems to be

the most propitious time since the commencement of the war for the Confederate Army to enter [the North],” wrote Gen. Lee to President Jefferson Davis on the first Wednesday of September, 1862. Confederate independence seemed possible, if not probable. Now was the moment. But two weeks later, Lee was in retreat. Frye served for 20 years as chief historian at Harpers Ferry National Park. His most recent works are: “Antietam Shadows: Mystery, Myth & Machination” and “September Suspense: Lincoln’s Union in Peril.” For more, contact alisha.barnes@crrl. org or 540-372-1144, ext. 7264.

Puzzles & Horoscopes Need to double check? Find the answers on page 15 CROSSWORD THEME: GRAMMY AWARDS

HOROSCOPES ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) Venus knows her return to your career sector next week will put more weight on your professional game. This can create a sense of urgency, especially when it comes to finding a balance between work and play, while you still can. A sense of adventure this year that makes it clear it is not going anywhere. This year your professional game has to work around also having a life. TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) Ceres’ departure brought 15 months of planetary activity to a close, with the Moon charged with getting your attention any way it can. You have spent the last 15 months getting your most thorough sense yet of what you want from your relationships and what they need from you. The Moon will return every four weeks throughout the year, to check that you are still on track. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) As much as the Sun and Mercury are allowing you to embrace a sense of adventure now, they both know that the planetary activity in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery is limited this year. Mercury will spend in your career sector, this will fly by. If life has been all work and no play, there is a chance now to change the script. CANCER (June 22-July 22) You would think that a busy start to the year is about to slow down. Fortunately, and unfortunately that is not the case. Fortunately, because 2019 is a stunning year for both job and professional growth. Unfortunately, because with no more planetary activity in a playful part of your chart, work/life balance could be an issue if you don’t make it a priority. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) It was a lunar eclipse in Leo during the Sun’s return in your relationship sector that brought a one time, but impossible to ignore reminder of a need for balance between your personal and relationship needs. Another balance reminder is being drawn to your attention today, though less dramatically and this time between your home and professional lives.. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) The New Moon in your work sector is already turning into clearer objectives and a smarter way of doing things. The good thing about the eclipse is that it delivered reminder calls before you even began to look at this new professional year. There won’t be the work tension and job pressure you had last year, partly because the planets aren’t creating any, but mainly because of the lessons learned.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) You began the year with the Moon in your income sector, but while it has come full circle to find the same support on the job and career fronts, the hype and urgency has dialed back considerably. With Mars gone from your work sector and Mercury ushering in a more objective phase from later next week, the manically busy pace that last year ended on is gone. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) Compared to the huge amount of planetary activity on the home front last year, things have calmed down considerably. Apart from the reminders the total lunar eclipse brought, the Sun and Mercury are enjoying a low key, low maintenance and productive visit to your home and family sector. This is a chance to quietly go about the job of taking care of any housekeeping, literal or otherwise. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Imagine being in a plane, buckled into your seat, ready to embark on an exciting new venture. The pilots are ready to go, but the flight crew can’t close the door. The plane can’t take off until the door is closed. This is the reality for you, with Jupiter in Sagittarius and all the support needed to embrace the journey ahead. Until the Moon leaves a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart soon, the door to the past won’t close, but it is finally about to. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) With Mercury on board and any pressure gone, you have the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game and explore your income options. The reality is that with so much planetary activity here last year, there is a huge amount of untapped income potential and momentum, requiring little more than being pointed in the right direction. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) The Moon will make friendly contact with the forces that will remain in play on the income and job fronts all year, but will also conflict with forces on the home front.
