One Last Big Ride

Rolling Thunder makes final trip into Washington, D.C. JULIA LEDOUX » BY FOR INSIDENOVA

he roar heard across Northern Virginia on Sunday, May 26, wasn’t a line of storms, it was motorcycles heading into Washington, D.C., for the final national Rolling Thunder ride raising awareness for POW/MIA issues. “Today is not about us,” said retired Marine Maj. Bob “Lumpy” Lanphere. “It’s about the fallen, those that paid the price.” More than 1,600 motorcycles and riders gathered at Harley Davidson of Quantico to make the trek with hundreds of thousands of other riders to the Pentagon before riding throughout Washington, D.C., seeking to bring full accountability for prisoners of war and missing in action service members in all American conflicts. “Many of us have experienced the price of freedom,” said Lanpheare. “We’ve been there, we’ve experienced it, we’ve seen our buddies die.” Noting that the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings is just days away, Lanphaere said that he had three great uncles who landed on the beaches of Normandy. One of them did not survive; another was wounded twice on the same day and the third was not in-

jured at all. “We want everyone to know the price of freedom,” he continued. “We ride for those who can not ride, for those who have fallen.” The Quantico Harley Owners Group sponsored a weekend full of events, including a Saturday night social, for the riders who departed Dumfries. “I see and recognize what the veterans have done for us,” Schermerhorn said. “ I just feel a part of it.” “It’s very emotional to remember them, the POW/MIAs,” said Navy veteran and Stafford American Legion rider Terry Richey. Marine Corps veteran and Stafford American Legion rider John Humphrey made his first Rolling Thunder ride Sunday. “The camaraderie, respect and recognition we still have for the POW/ MIAs and the impact this has on that is important,” he said. Army veteran Fred Santiago is also a Stafford American Legion member and was participating in his second Rolling Thunder ride. “Once a year, we are able to maintain consciousness that there are still POW/ MIAs out there,” he said. The first Rolling Thunder demonstration took place in 1988. Last year,

the national organization announced the 2019 ride into D.C. would be its last due to financial and logistical concerns. President Donald Trump said the

ride was welcome to return in 2020, but organizers said that local chapters will continue the event at locations across the country organized by the more than 90 Rolling Thunder chapters.

a lull in the weather. A fast moving, high pressure system, one that Stagg was able to forecast based on a single report, would give the Allies adequate weather for 48 hours. It wasn’t much to go on, but Eisenhower took the risk and gave the order to go. At first it looked like Ike’s fear that the invasion might fail might become reality. While conditions improved, visibility remained poor and the Allied Air Forces missed most of their targets on the beach. Also, most of the tanks and heavy vehicles that could have supported this initial wave were lost in the rough surf. The soldiers reaching the beach had to fight it out by themselves. The British fared well at their beaches, Juno, Gold and Sword, and U.S. forces managed a foothold on Utah beach. But Omaha Beach was a different story and for several hours the situation was so dire that further landings were suspended. However, with a growing resolve, facing incredible danger, American troops along this narrow battlefield began to breach the German defenses and started moving inland. Ike didn’t need his other statement. Instead, he was able to tell the world that D-Day was a success. While it can be argued that it was history’s biggest gamble, and it probably was, there was more to it than that. What carried the day, particularly as the outcome remained in question, was the determination and bravery of the men who made that initial landing on DDay. They’re the ones who sealed the fate of Hitler’s Europe.

winner is settled by a timed period called overtime or sudden death or something that ends the game as quickly as possible. This difference in the amount of time an individual game can last and the required slowness of each of the nine innings is apparently what has led folks who suffer from IG, TLP or the negative acronym TLC to complain the game is too slow. In fact, just a few days ago, a major league player on the White Sox, Tim Anderson, declared, “The game’s boring.” So, it seems that this current generation of players along with their contemporary fans and officials of the game now have grown impatient with the game’s pace. They want it to speed up, move faster, end quicker to satisfy this new generation of baseball fans and their short attention span. Unfortunately, Anderson has convinced the sports company Adidas to sponsor a TV ad in which Anderson says the game GOLD needs changing. He is PAGE 5 quoted as saying, “The

Teens arrested following Stafford 7-Eleven robbery

The Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office arrested two teenagers after the robbery of a 7-Eleven early on Memorial Day. The boys, ages 15 and 16, are being held without bond at the Juvenile Detention Center, said police spokesperson Amanada Vicinanzo. Surveillance camera footage reportedly shows the two boys entering the store at 25 Solomon Drive around 5:46 a.m. One of the teens pointed a firearm at the clerk while the other teen held a bag open and motioned toward the cash register.

The clerk placed an unspecified amount of money in the bag and the two boys ran out of the store in the direction of Melchers Drive. Units with police dogs began searching the area and tracked the boys to the back of a residence on Warrenton Road. Meanwhile, a SCSO sergeant recognized one of the boys in the video and found his address in the same area. The boys were found inside the home, and a search warrant for the residence led to the discovery of clothing, a bag, a fake firearm and cash from the robbery, Vicinanzo said.

CRIME BRIEFS DUI ALLEGED AFTER WRONG-WAY DRIVING A Roanoke woman is accused of driving drunk after deputies spotted her driving on the wrong side of the road early May 28, according to the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. Jacqueline Fisher, 65, was charged with driving under the influence and driving on a suspended license, police spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo said. Around 1:46 a.m., a deputy spotted Fisher’s car heading southbound in the northbound lanes of Warrenton Road. During a traffic stop, Fisher told the deputy that she was unaware that she was driving on the wrong side of the road. Fisher was incarcerated following a field sobriety test and a breath test, Vicinanzo said. GOLD

MAN FACES FELONY CHARGE FOR DAMAGE AT JAIL A man arrested following a pursuit on Warrenton Road on May 23 faces additional charges for destruction of property at the Rappahannock Regional Jail, according to the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. William Strasburg, 46, was initially charged with felony eluding, reckless driving and obstruction of justice, said police spokesperson Amanada Vicinanzo. While leaving the jail, Strasburg allegedly argued with a jail employee and repeatedly kicked the metal delivery tray at the property release area, causing extensive damage, Vicinanzo said. Strasburg arrived at the Sheriff ’s Office to retrieve a personal item seized during the initial arrest and was taken into custody on a felony warrant of destruction of property. He was held without bond.

game is boring. Watch me change it.” But, what Anderson and others, and maybe Addidas as well, fail to recognize is that the slowness of the game is what makes it unique; what makes it baseball. The pitcher’s windup, the full count all adds to the drama of the game. An intentional walk that requires four full pitches out of the strike zone is a strategy. I suppose the pitcher could just shout “Let him walk,” but the way the intentional walk is done again adds to the uniqueness of the baseball. The changing of pitchers adds a lot of time, but is an essential part of strategy. I suppose we could have two or three pitchers standing on the pitcher’s mound waiting their turn and all the team manager would have to do is shout “next.” But, the added drama of the new pitcher walking or jogging from the bullpen adds to the drama and suspense of the game. Unlike football, basketball, hockey and soccer, where players exit and enter the game very quickly without announcements, baseball is slower and low key. In baseball a voice over the loudspeaker tells the crowd, “now playing third base is …” In some other sports, if it wasn’t for the numbers on the players’ shirts,

we wouldn’t know who replaced who. In baseball there is no penalty box, or five fouls and you’re out of the game. In baseball, a player, short of injury or unsportsmanlike conduct, must do something extremely bad to be made to leave the game. And, for the most part, baseball players unlike the other major sports don’t use violence or bodily contact to succeed. There is no tackling, pushing, shoving, banging against the boards, giving the shoulder, or other forms of bodily contact that rules the other sports. Baseball games move slowly because they are quietly exciting and civilized and should stay that way. And, for certain, the lyrics of that grand old song, “Take me out to the ballgame” tells us why baseball shouldn’t change. “Take me out to the ball game. Take me out with the crowd. Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks. I don’t care if I never get back. Let me root, root, root for the home team If they don’t win it’s a shame. For it’s one, two, three strikes you’re out, at the old ball game.” Harvey Gold is a contributing writer at InsideNova. Reach him at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

Preservation awards recognize historic efforts Stafford County recently honored some of the men and women who have helped preserve the region’s historic sites and landmarks. “Our lives in Stafford County are so much richer because individuals take upon the mission of telling our story,” said Anita Dodd, chairman of the Stafford County Historical Commission. “It’s important to take the time to highlight their accomplishments on our behalf. We are supremely grateful.” The Historical Commission established the Historical Preservation Awards in 2005 to recognize individuals, groups, organizations and businesses for their contributions to the preservation of Stafford County’s history, according to a news release. Honorees at an event May 21 include Beate Jensen, who has been working for 20 years to preserve Belmont, the 18thcentury property in South Stafford that was home to impressionist painter Gari Melchers. Jensen is the cultural resource manager and her mission has been to provide a faithful representation of the 27-acre site coinciding with the period of Gari and Corinne Melcher’s time there. Under her stewardship, and in partnership with other organizations, Jensen has safeguarded the historic integrity of the property, developed and implemented a prioritized plan for practical and appro-

priate restoration where needed and provided educational and interpretive experiences, according to the release. She has extensively researched the history of the property and its site design for restoration and improvements and supervises a maintenance program of tree pruning, feeding and disease prevention and created a wildlife habitat. John and Cathy Harris were recognized for their preservation of the Latham-Beckhin family cemetery. Located off Hartwood Road, the cemetery includes many unmarked graves, and one grave marker for Emeline J. Bechkin, who died Aug. 5, 1842, at just two years old.

The cemetery had been neglected and overgrown, and John and Cathy Harris cleaned up the cemetery to ensure better maintenance of the site. The also repaired the marker for little Emeline, which had broken in half. The cemetery is on the historic Spotted Tavern Farm property, owned by the Harris family, which is protected by a conservation easement. Sherry Cooper was recognized for her research, discovery and preservation of the Staples family cemetery off Brooke Road. The cemetery is the resting place of Civil War veteran Peleg S.Staples (18441917) and several other family members. Cooper searched records online and at

the Stafford County courthouse for family members that were thought to be buried in Stafford County and her discoveries led her to the Staples cemetery. In 2018, a ceremony was held to commemorate those buried in the cemetery and three headstones were placed to mark the sites. Will Shelton was instrumental in the preservation efforts, which included making one of the headstones and setting the three headstones for the cemetery. Frank White and Norman Schools placed the Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church and Cemetery on the National Register of Historic Places and Virginia Landmark Register in 2018. They also had a VDOT highway marker placed at the site. Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church and its cemetery were founded in 1870 in Stafford County by formerly enslaved African Americans under the auspices of a benevolent organization working with the Freedman’s Bureau. The church and cemetery are significant to the history and growth of the black community in the White Oak area after the Civil War and through the eras of Reconstruction, Jim Crow and Civil Rights, according to the release. The cemetery marked a turning point for African Americans who could then bury community members in sanctioned burial ground during funerals officiated by a black pastor, instead of a white one, as the law required before the Civil War.

Virginia football offers an opportunity for Kindel

Trilogy® at Lake Frederick Artisan Fair This Weekend!

HUGH RIST » BY FOR INSIDENOVA

Can speed and a work ethic few can rival compensate for a lack of size? That is the question the University of Virginia is betting on relative to Colonial Forge senior Zack Kindel, a 6-0, 160-pound wide receiver, who will attend pre-season workout camp as a preferred walk-on for the Cavaliers in mid-June. Kindel said the Virginia assistant coach most instrumental in recruiting him was Kelly Poppinga, ironically the team’s codefensive coordinator and linebackers coach, though receivers coach Marques Hagens and track coach Bryan Fetzer each had a role in his decision to commit to Virginia. “When I visited, I fell in love with the coaching staff,” Kindel said. “They said they see me as a [possible] scholarship player down the road. I know I am not the biggest guy, but that gives me a chip on my shoulder to work hard as I always have.” Kindel said he picked up on something during his visit to the Charlottesville campus that appealed to him. “The culture of the program is that nothing is guaranteed to anybody,” Kindel said. “You have to earn everything you get and that intrigued me. I know I am going to have to earn my jersey and that just gives me an incentive to show people what I can do.” Athletically, what Kindel can do is quite a bit, and apparently that is what appealed most to Poppinga, according to Kindel, who caught 45 passes for 630 yards and 12 touchdowns last season for a balanced Colonial Forge team that featured several receiving targets. Adding to the sizzle is Kindel’s speed, which is apparent to anyone watching him compete on the gridiron or the track. Kindel was an all-state middle-distance runner last season and was part of a 1,600- meter relay team that won a gold medal at the New Balance Outdoor Nationals last spring. He has been slowed this outdoor track season after suffering a stress fracture to his shin during the football season, but recently competed in a couple meets and notched a time of 2:05 in the 800 meters. Kindel said he is considering shuttinghis track season down in favor of giving more healing time to his shin before attending camp at Virginia, but added he has yet to make a final decision. “One of the reasons Virginia was so attractive to me is that the coaches were open to letting me run track,” Kindel said, indicating that closing the door on high school track is not an easy decision for him. During his college consideration process, Kindel said he received an offer for

I know I am going to have to earn my jersey and that just gives me an incentive to show people what I can do. ZACK KINDEL, UVA FOOTBALL PROSPECT track at Princeton and initially wanted to go there, but he was put on the waiting list for academics, which prompted him to consider other options and ultimately prompted him to shift his focus to football at the next level. Aside from his work ethic, two of the things the Virginia coaching staff saw in Kindel that he said they told him were impressive were his route-running and speed. “Each of those were definitely assets in my favor,” Kindel said. “But being part of the Forge program, knowing what you have to do to win, helped a lot also.”

CRITTER CORNER | KAREN PEAK

Ability or Age Appropriate There are various lists about age appropriate chores for children. Some of the chores are pet-related. One list says a child of 12 should be walking the family dog. I am all for children learning to help care for pets. However, I am not a fan of the term “age-appropriate.” I prefer to think in terms of “ability-appropriate.” Ability-appropriate covers a wider range of considerations. Let’s look at one situation I witnessed. While stopped for traffic lights at a busy intersection in Prince William County, I watched a girl who was around 10 – 12, struggling to walk a large dog. They were close enough that I could see the dog was wearing a prong collar. The dog was dragging the child along the sidewalk when something caught his attention. He pulled the struggling child into traffic. This dog was completely ability inappropriate for the child. This was a dangerous situation. Part of being ability appropriate includes a child’s ability to recognize potentially risky situations and avoid them. With one case, a dog was not friendly to anyone except family. A teenage child was given clear instructions, numerous times, not to let the dog out of a back room if there were guests. One afternoon, the child brought a friend over and let the dog out of the back room so they could play with her. The dog panicked and seriously bit the visitor.

How many times do we see kids (and adults) fully engaged with their phones and ignoring everything around them? Part of safer dog walking is being unplugged and aware of your surroundings. Another case I advised on occurred when an older teen was walking the family dog. He was plugged in and oblivious to the dog’s behavior along with the surroundings. He missed the sounds of kids playing. He did not see the kids running around. The dog was on a retracting lead and had gotten to the full length of it. A child was bitten as the teen walked right into the line of play and was unaware of everything going on around him. When my children were little, I was very careful what dogs of ours they could walk with us and what dogs they could not. D’Argo and Ryker were far better matches for walking than Hunter was when my kids were little. Ryker was a senior and the smallest of my dogs. He was very responsive to my children and us. D’Argo was my first safety demo dog. Hunter was a big goof who had less selfcontrol. There was a reason why his first owners gave him up. Seven was a great dog but as a livestock guarding breed, she was large and strong. Of these first four dogs we had when the kids were young, only with Ryker and D’Argo would we allow the kids to take the lead.

In the beginning, we would have the kids hold the leash with us. Then we went to two leashes on Ryker or D’Argo. After that they would be able to control the leash themselves, but we were always with them. Connor and Sarah started learning how to train and show dogs with D’Argo. He was an ability appropriate dog for both kids.

As parents and dog owners, it is our responsibility to recognize the various abilities our children have. We need to be mindful of situations they may encounter when walking our dogs. It is our duty to work to keep them safe. Know your child, your dog, and keep things ability appropriate with supervision.

Puzzles & Horoscopes Need to double check? Find the answers on page 14 CROSSWORD THEME: U.S. TRIVIA

HOROSCOPES ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) As the Sun and Mercury spend their first full week in your communication sector, they are already acting as independent agents. They both returned last Tuesday, Mercury just hours behind the Sun, which saw them begin their focus on this smart, intellectually savvy and articulate part of your chart aligned. Yet while the Sun is here for a month Mercury, the planet of communication is here for just 15 days and travelling at twice the speed will leave next week. TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) When the Sun and Mercury left Taurus last week, they not only wrapped up your birthday month but left Venus behind and she is ready to have some fun. As your ruling planet and the planet that rules through the heart, this is giving you a chance, after your birthday month is over, to focus on what you really want from this new solar year. GEMINI (May 22-June 21) It wasn’t just the Sun who returned to Gemini last Tuesday to begin your birthday month and new solar year but Mercury, your ruling planet as well. Mercury returned just behind the Sun and they spent the early hours of your birthday month aligned. During the first full week of your birthday month, this is already proving an advantage, having moved into this new solar year with your eyes open and head in the game from the get go. CANCER (June 22-July 22) If Mars first full week in Cancer rattled your nerves, a number of factors make this a much more even and confident week. You will also find it a lot easier to balance the very different aspects in play, finding it much easier to juggle than last week. It helps that the week begins with the Moon in an adventurous part of your chart throughout Monday and Tuesday. LEO (July 23-Aug 22) As the Sun and Mercury spend their first full week in your sector of friendship, teamwork and networking, this always brings you to a more socially connected point in the year. It will be another three weeks before the month long wind down of your old solar year begins, but this year things are more complicated. VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) The Sun’s first full week in your career sector can and has brought you to an important point in this professional year, but this time this is a step down rather than a step up. Not a step down in terms of importance or the positive implications this can have, but a step down in terms of the price you are being forced to pay. LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Starting the week with the Moon in your work sector is always an advantage, especially when Neptune is slowing down ahead of his retrograde turn here and you have Mars firing things up on

the career front. This is just one example of a week where the Moon will continue to find itself in the right place at the right time. SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) There are a number of important cosmic alignments or partnerships in play this week, with the Moon finding itself in the right place at the right time in order to capitalise on this. This is the final week of a 17 day alignment between dreamy Neptune in a playful and the North Node in an adventurous part of your chart. Starting the week with the Moon in a playful part of your chart allows you to capitalise on this. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) When the Sun and Mercury left your work sector last Tuesday, this may have taken the solar spotlight off work and job matters and ended a need to constantly have your head in the game, but things have far from run their course. The professional gods are taking you on quite a journey this year, starting with Mars’ return to your work sector at the end of March. After firing things up, it was then up to the Sun and Mercury to restore order. CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) While having Mars on the other side of the sky in your relationship sector does pose a problem for Saturn and Pluto, in retrograde motion in Capricorn, last week’s false alarm is behind you. Yet it was the Moon’s return to Capricorn last week and opposition with Mars that has given you a taste of things to come. It won’t be until mid June that Mars eventually opposes both Saturn and Pluto, so this is a case of ‘when’ rather than ‘if’. AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) While the Moon’s first visit to your income sector since Mars’ return to your work sector wasn’t as spectacular as its first visit to your career sector, the implications are the same. You begin the week with the Moon in your income sector, giving you a sharp nose for money and a lucrative sense of direction from the get go. On Monday it has been just eight days since a professionally charged Full Moon during Mars’ early days in your work sector, with the Moon back at another friendly aspect. PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) Starting the week with the Moon in Pisces will always be an advantage, especially with the Moon forming so many positive aspects. This is especially so when it comes to Mars and the other forces in a playful part of your chart. On face value, this is just one of those situations where you wake up on the right side of the bed and everything feels right. Yet there is something deeper and more significant to this.
