Mountain View High’s Madi Hyatt steps into new, but natural role » BY HUGH RIST

FOR INSIDENOVA

When Mountain View field hockey junior midfielder Madi Hyatt attended summer practices after netting all-state honors as a sophomore, she saw several newcomers that might have been a bit nervous. She knew immediately that she wanted to extend to them the same warm welcome she had received from the team’s upperclassmen when she had debuted as a freshman two years earlier. When Wildcats coach Kim Sullivan saw Hyatt working with the team’s newcomers, as well as set-

ting an example for the rest of her teammates with a nearly unparalleled work ethic on a team that is the two-time defending Group 5A state champions, she said she knew right away the person she was going to give the honor of team captaincy to — Hyatt was a perfect fit for the role. “Her work ethic is phenomenal,” Sullivan said. “She plays like she wants to win the state championship every practice, so she doesn’t hesitate to give constructive criticism to the girls around her. She never stops [hustling]. This summer she HYATT» PAGE 2

motion that would require the Stafford County School Board chairwoman to “pass the gavel” to the vice chairman in certain cases failed to pass at the board’s regular meeting Tuesday. The motion sought for Chairwoman Patricia Healy, R-Rock Hill, to recuse herself — or pass the gavel — to Vice Chairman Dewayne McOsker, George Washington District, during votes on certain development matters, including capacity, redistricting and proffers. Currently, school board members are able to recuse themselves from voting on motions where they believe a conflict of interest or case of impartiality exists. The motion, brought by school board member Irene Egan, Aquia District, centered on Healy’s job as an attorney with the Stafford law firm Leming & Healy, and a worries over a future elementary school redistricting process, transparency and equity. The motion, which drew support from board member Jamie Decatur, Griffis-Widewater District, is nothing personal Egan told Healy, explaining that she acted on concerns from her constituents and an effort to avoid possible lawsuits and finger-pointing. A background report explaining the motion stated: “This is not a punishment or an attempt at anything nefarious, nor is it a question of the chairwoman’s leadership abilities.” Healy has served as a school board member since 2000 and has been the chairwoman six times GAVEL» PAGE 3

over the years, according to discussion. Current lawsuits through her firm, some involving the Stafford County Board of Supervisors, don’t have anything to do with school board business, Healy said. Healy said she respects every member on the board and thinks all of them truly care about the students of SCPS. She asked that the board allow her to fully carry out her board chairwoman duties. “During my tenure on the school board I have never used my position for personal or partisan gain,” she noted in a statement she read. Healy and school board members Pamela Yeung, Garrisonville District; Dewayne McOsker, George Washington District; and Sarah Chase, Falmouth District,voted against the motion while Egan voted for it. Decatur, who participated in the meeting by phone along with McOsker, was absent from the vote but chimed in on the issue earlier. Hartwood school board member Holly HYATT

Hazard abstained from the vote. The majority vote, siding with Healy, resulted in a failed motion. “If the chairwoman believes she is abiding by rules, we can trust she cares about the students of Stafford County,” said Yeung. “…We are a team; we vote as a team.” Chase added that “just because there’s an appearance of something, doesn’t mean that’s the reality.” In a related discussion about the school board’s own Code of Conduct, McOsker mentioned nasty emails and social media posts that attack board members. It’s a culture of nastiness and connivery that needs to stop, he said. Some members were concerned about the influence of social media and ease with which anyone can lash out at school board members, affecting school board business and cohesiveness. Hazard, who abstained from the vote, agreed that it’s a tough issue all around. Hazard said that a discussion is in or-

der, especially in light of McOsker’s social media and Code of Conduct concerns. “I believe we have something we need to discuss,” she said. “It’s not a vote issue; it’s a discussion issue.” Also at the meeting, the school board: * heard from Hazard about a major traffic accident on Interstate 95 that delayed buses. Speaking on student safety, she said there’s no national protocol regarding parents picking up students at bus stops, but a discussion is needed about how to respond when similar incidents and emergencies occur and parents are delayed getting to their children. * heard from Superintendent Scott Kizner that Katie Werner is the new principal at T. Benton Gayle Middle School. Werner comes from Mountain View High School, where she served as an assistant principal. Prior to that, she was an assistant principal at H.H. Poole Middle School for three years, as well as a high school English teacher for 11 years.

* heard about the success of a Collect for Kids back-to-school supply drive and packing event where 65 volunteers packed more than 600 backpacks for Stafford students. * learned details about Band Together to Fight Hunger, which will be Nov. 5 at Mountain View High School, where bands from all five high schools will perform. Donated non-perishable food will be given to the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank, which supports numerous area pantries and organizations. * school board members Hazard and Yeung attended the Virginia School Boards Association Legislative Advocacy Conference in Charlottesville on Sept. 20. There, they learned about issues for the 2019 legislative session and about current topics in education. Sessions included a discussion on school safety, equity in rural schools and broadband access.

one of the team’s offensive focal points, to outworking nearly all comers, Hyatt has become one of the area’s best field hockey players, which is not surprising given her family pedigree and voracious passion for the sport. Her mother, Kim Hyatt, who played for

North Stafford from 1986-1990, and her father, Chuck, both love the sport and faithfully attend all Hyatt’s games. In fact, she calls her parents her “biggest supporters.” “I’ve literally been playing field hockey since I was about 7 or 8,” Madi Hyatt said. “I started in parks and recreation and then started playing travel hockey later and my mom was my coach because she loved the game so much.” Hyatt said when she was playing travel and middle school field hockey in seventh grade, the realization hit her. “That was about the time I really got serious about the game and knew this was a sport I truly loved,” Hyatt said. “I started wondering whether I might play in college around that time.” Not surprisingly given Hyatt’s standout play, she had several Division 1 college offers from both schools in state and out of state. But despite being only a junior, Hyatt recently committed to play at the University of Richmond in the fall of 2020. “When I went there, the players were just awesome and I really liked the coach, plus they are a really strong liberal arts school and had a good program for my major [biology] and the offer they made was a good one, so I knew [immediately] they were a fit,” Hyatt said. Taking a very important item off Hyatt’s plate—deciding upon her college plans—is something she said is a bit of a relief that allows her to focus on the current season. “It’s definitely something that takes a bit of the weight off me because school will always come first for me,” Hyatt, who carries a 4.3 grade point average, said. “Since coming to high school, [balancing the demands of field hockey and academics] has been a definite eye-opener. Usually after practice I get straight to homework and if I have tournaments on weekends, I take

homework with me. It’s a bit of a release to play during games and practices.” Though Hyatt is not a senior, she is a field hockey veteran, so being a captain is something she is thrilled by since she is happy to share what she has learned through experience. “I was very surprised and awed [to be chosen as captain],” Hyatt said. “But I enjoy the experience. All of my teammates are super great and they respond well to constructive criticism. This is my tenth year playing the sport and I’ve watched a ton of practices and games, gone to clinics, so I want to share with the younger players everything I have gained, just like those seniors did for me.” Hyatt said she has worked hard the past two years to improve her defense because offense has always come so naturally for her. Primarily though, her focus is to have Mountain View experience a three-peat, a feat she knows will not be easy to accomplish. “I definitely know it’s difficult to repeat, especially because all the other teams want to beat you, so it keeps me very humble,” Hyatt said. “Our focus is pretty much on winning the game at hand and we try not to get too far ahead of ourselves. Getting to regionals and states always gets me super excited. That’s the best time of the season.” Hyatt said she has that same focus when she thinks about her post-college days. She would love to continue to be around field hockey, whatever that may entail, but she obviously hasn’t made definite plans. “To play on the Women’s National Team or go to the Olympics one day, would definitely be a dream,” Hyatt said. “I have also thought about maybe coaching one day. If it works out that way, great, but I am trying not to get too far ahead of myself.”

Exhibit includes Aquia stone used to build White House The White House Visitor Center is displaying a newly carved double Scottish rose that celebrates the legacy of the original stonemasons of the White House. The stone is from the same quarry in Aquia that was used for the construction of the White House. The double Scottish rose design became popular in the 18 th century and was a great source of pride for the people of Scotland, including the Scottish stonemasons who worked on the White House in the 1790s, according to a news release. The design appears throughout the White House exterior walls, columns, porticos and above the north door.

The exhibit’s stone carving was created this year by Charles Jones, a Scottish stonemason with Historical Environment Scotland and Dale Lupton of the National Park Service’s Historic Preservation Training Center. “The stonemasons of Scotland today are the legacy of great craftsman from the 18th century who came to Washington and created the beautiful carvings that we still see on the White House,” said Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association. “We are thrilled to have this newly carved reminder of that extraordinary stonemason talent.”

We can solve problems that mystified our ancestors. We can trace history back to a fraction of a second after the Big Bang, and we can create art. We have mapped our own genome. The list of our abilities and accomplishments is considerable. But our respect for life, especially human life, is sometimes wanting. All humans — born, unborn, poor, rich, old or young, gifted or not so gifted, and no matter what country they’re from — have as much right to life, and a reasonable quality of life, as anyone else. But through a callousness perhaps born of our technical age, we seem to divorce ourselves from the realities facing our fellow humans. They need our help. Whether it’s in a war-torn part of Africa, people trying to escape gangravaged slums in El Salvador, a homeless family in our own community or a young woman facing a difficult choice, life just wants a chance. We’re also the only creatures who have a conscious choice in the matter. We can choose to help perpetuate life and to help it grow and prosper, or we can look the other way. In that, there is perhaps a lesson to be learned from those simpler, though possibly wiser creatures, like my snapping turtle, who value life so much that they won’t quit even when the odds say they should.

disrespect toward Vietnam veterans, but having to lose one’s son due to the degenerate actions of our illegal Hispanic community is not something to celebrate during Hispanic Heritage Month. It is indeed critical to recognize the need to resolve decades-old Hispanic issues. And while President Trump has so much to be proud of — with the economy roaring, lifting 350,000 Hispanics out of poverty and Hispanic unemployment at its lowest in history — the illegal immigration issue remains troubling. At a similar event honoring Hispanic Heritage Month with Gov. Ralph Northam on Monday evening at the mansion, pride in achievement and a desire for outreach were also discussed. Northam, unlike his predecessor, showed genuine concern to attempt to resolve the stagnant immigration issue without the bombast of a Terry McAuliffe. This is what must be celebrated and focused on during Hispanic Heritage Month, so the life of Phillipe Chavez Jr. and others will not be in vain.

aul Roy loves to multitask; in his eyes, the more responsibility the better. It’s understandable then why Roy is in constant demand at Quantico High School. When he arrived at Quantico in the fall of 2000, the retired U.S. Marine Corps lieutenant colonel held two titles: head of the new JROTC program and head of the baseball team. But over the years, Roy added other positions. He became athletic director, assistant and now head football coach, and head boys and girls basketball coach. All the different jobs are timeconsuming, but the 69-year-old embraces each one to the point that he keeps putting off retirement. “I’ve thought about it, but I have no idea what I’d do,” Roy said. “My hobby is my work. I’m pretty boring.” Although he was the Washington Redskins 2016 High School Football Coach of the Year after leading the Warriors to an 11-1 mark and their first state-title appearance since 1996, the Maine native takes pride in seeing students get better whether the team or individual wins. He feels the same way toward students who earn JROTC scholarships and get into the service academies.

“They are almost like my own kids,” Roy said. At one point in his life, Roy wanted to become an athletic director and coach. But he delayed that move following college graduation when he joined the Marine Corps. He served for 21 years before retiring in 1995 and seeking opportunities elsewhere. He worked as the JROTC instructor at Highland Springs High School in Richmond for five years until one day in July of 2000 he stopped by Maj. Gen. Thomas Jones’ office at Quantico and asked him if he wanted to go – PAUL ROY for a run aboard the base. While jogging together, Jones told Roy that Quantico planned to start a JROTC program and needed an instructor. They went to the high school and met with Quantico principal Coleman Starnes that same day. Starnes offered Roy the JROTC job and the baseball coach position. To Roy, it was the best of both worlds: the military and sports. This school year, just over 50 percent of the 121-person student body is in JROTC, including many of his athletes. “I look at it like any other coach,” Roy said. “I enjoy the kids.”

Music teacher, business owner watches North Stafford grow ALEKS DOLZENKO

MILTON SAMUEL CHRISTY

ith a glint in his eyes, Milton Christy recalls his childhood in North Stafford, when the whole county only had two paved roads, and Garrisonville Road was not one of them. The paved ones were U.S. 1 and 17. The octogenarian still runs a business tucked away in a cluster of upper-scale homes on what was once was his 200-acre farm in western Stafford County. Garrisonville was just a dirt road that his family would take to get to their church. There were no traffic lights or bumper-tobumper traffic. But when the weather didn’t cooperate and the rains came, the low-lying sections would become mud and the route to church was impassible. Yet, those were still good times. “Things were much simpler then,” he recalls. He grew up on the family farm but after graduating from Falmouth High School, he went on to get a Bachelor of Music Education degree from what is now Virginia Commonwealth University in 1956. Wasting no time, Christy put his degree to use as a music teacher, the first in Stafford County. This was during the time of segregation,

and there were separate schools for white and black students. Christy taught around 180 white students at Stafford High, Stafford Elementary, Falmouth Elementary and King George High schools. The black students went to school at what is now the Rowser Building, and Christy taught music to around 30 children one day a week. He started a drum and bugle corp, and taught flutofone to the seventh-grade class.

Teaching in the black school was a great experience, and the respect between teacher and student was awesome, he said. Also, at least five of his students went on to become music teachers. After six years at the schools, he began having problems with his throat and a doctor suggested he stop teaching music. He went into full-time farming after having throat issues and doctor suggested he stop teaching music. Farming was the obvious option and he purchased a farm in 1962. He also rented

several farms. In all, he farmed some 2,000 acres in Stafford and Fauquier counties. Stafford was a major producer of corn, wheat, barley and soybeans, and he grew those along with hay and pumpkins. The Junior Chamber of Commerce, now the Jaycees, voted him the Young Outstanding Farmer of the Year in Stafford County. He was also the owner of Nature’s Best Farm Market on U.S. 17 for 19 years while also owning Agri-Service. It was his grandfather’s country store, and he was the third generation to run the business. “So when it was finally sold, five generations had the privilege of working or being a part of that store,” his daughter said. While working the family farm, Christy branched into the broadcast business with a gospel show. For 15 years he produced a show in Stafford County that went out to 15 stations in the country and abroad. To produce the show, named “The Certain Sound,” Christy enlisted the help of local preachers, area singers and musicians. The 30-minute program was recorded onto a reel of tape in a studio he built at his farm, he recalled. The master tape was then duplicated onto other reels and shipped to radio stations. All the while since he was 15, farming has been in his blood, but this year he stopped major farming. He now devotes time to expanding his current business, to include greenhouses. According to his daughter, Christy still puts in a 9-to-5 day, and finishes off the week with several hours at the store on Saturday.

TIM DOYLE Area coordinator for Special Olympics

Community: Stafford Family: Wife: Rose Children: Theresa (with husband Adam) and Matthew; Grandson: Hendrix Work: Logistician for Marine Corps Systems Command at MCB Quantico; retired from U.S. Marine Corps Favorite Place in Stafford: “Any Special Olympics event where I’m around my Special Olympics family.”

Family of athletes, volunteers

Longtime work with Special Olympics rewarding for Doyle TRACY BELL

tbell@insidenova.com

tafford resident Tim Doyle, a longtime Special Olympics advocate, has come to think of the program’s athletes and volunteers as family. Doyle, who has lived in Stafford for 22 years, is the Area 11 coordinator for Special Olympics. Area 11 includes Stafford, Spotsylvania, Caroline and King George counties, as well as the city of Fredericksburg. For Doyle, the work has been immensely rewarding over the years. “I often tell people that I have the best gig in town and that I consider Special Olympics — athletes, family members and volunteers — to be my family.” Doyle’s own son, Matthew Doyle, 28, has Down syndrome. For years, he was an athlete for Special Olympics and later became an ambassador and adviser, giving speeches and telling audiences what the program means to him. Tim Doyle had first volunteered with the Special Olympics while he served in the military. Schools on base would put on Special Olympics events from time to time, he said. “I attended some of them and thought they were really heartwarming events,” Doyle explained, but his long-term interest stemmed from his son. In 2005, five years after Doyle retired from the U.S. Marine Corps, he and his son took part in a school-based Special Olympics program through Stafford County Public Schools. The program started with track and field, and had only seven athletes at the time, he said. At the first practice, as he helped the coordinator carry equipment to the track, Doyle was surprised when some of the athletes started calling him “coach.”

It wasn’t long before the schools coordinator asked Doyle to help coach the team. “I was hooked after that,” he said. When the schools coordinator left the next year to a new schools system, Doyle took over. In 2006, his group attended the local Special Olympics Council’s Area 11 meetings to advocate for the program Doyle had been working with. There, he learned of a soon-to-be vacant area coordinator position, to which he was later elected. He still holds the position. Leading the entire area is a lot of work that is challenging at times but very rewarding, said Doyle, especially at events. There, Doyle said he can see the joy on the faces of competing and training athletes as well as volunteers. But one of his biggest challenges is sustainment, he said, which includes fundraising, recruiting volunteers and securing venues. The program is steadily growing, having tripled in size in the past 12 years with current figures at more than 450 athletes and several hundred volunteers. The Fredericksburg area’s residents are both generous and accepting, Doyle said, but sustainment remains an ongoing challenge. “Our local program is only funded by the generosity of the community and receives no funding from Special Olympics,” Doyle said. The athletes at local fundraising events support their program because Special Olympics is the athletes’ program, he explained, and the area’s leadership staff is just the steward of it. Special Olympics encourages new volunteers on an ongoing basis and is happy to welcome new athletes, Doyle said. For more, call Tim Doyle at 540-2193340 or email tpdva01@yahoo.com.

Preserving a landmark

NORMAN SCHOOLS

Stafford’s history’s a journey for Schools TRACY BELL

tbell@insidenova.com

orman Schools, who owns and resides at the Moncure Conway House in Famouth, has a lifelong love of history. He and his wife, Lenetta Schools, purchased the house in August 1998 after seeing it listed in “Preservation,” the magazine of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. “With only one look, we both said, ‘That’s the one!’” Schools recalled. The Moncure Conway House, named for Moncure Daniel Conway, is currently being restored and Schools calls it truly “a labor of love.” The desire to own an old house sprang from his love of history, his profession as a preservationist and an appreciation for fine architecture. Moncure Daniel Conway, born in Falmouth in 1832, was an abolitionist, minister and author who died in 1907. His boyhood home, now referred to as the Moncure Conway House, was built around 1807 and stands on King Street in Falmouth. During the Civil War, it was used as a Union hospital. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is a

state and national landmark. Conway Elementary School in Stafford is named for Moncure Daniel Conway. The home, which reflects Federal-style architecture, is associated with the Underground Railroad because Conway accompanied 30 enslaved blacks belonging to the Moncure family in their escape to Ohio, and ultimately, freedom. Lenetta Schools, who died in 2016, shared her husband’s love of the Conway home, and its history. Norman Schools said his own “journey in history” was accompanied by a “loving and devoted wife” who was behind all of his “humble accomplishments.” “I greatly miss her,” he said, noting that she fought a “heroic battle with cancer.” Schools said that among his wife’s accomplishments in the community was the First Rappahannock Regional Juneteenth Celebration, which took place in 2006 at the Moncure Conway House. Each year in September, the Moncure Conway House hosts the Civil War livinghistory event, Yankees in Falmouth!, on its grounds. The name is derived from an account by ex-slave John Washington who wrote of a Confederate cavalryman riding through the streets of Fredericks-

burg yelling, “Yankees in Falmouth!” Stafford’s tourism department co-sponsors the event, which includes more than 120 historical re-enactors along with presentations drawing on the theme of reconciliation. Free to the public, the event typically draws more than 1,200 visitors. Schools said that Abraham Lincoln, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant and Harriett Tubman are among those portrayed. For Schools, his first great experience with history was when his parents took him and his sister to Jamestown and a Native American impressionist there knew his dad. “He had been away for years pursuing a career in the Navy, but when the Indians saw him, a happy reunion broke out,” Schools said, and it was a thrill to see. Fast forward to years later and Schools’ love of history has never stopped. He co-authored State Landmark and National Register nominations for Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church in Staf-

ford, based on the role the church’s congregation played in the Civil Rights Movement. The church also received a Virginia state historical highway marker. It’s the latest among several nominations Schools has authored for historic sites in Stafford. His book, “Virginia Shade, An African-American History of Falmouth, Virginia,” tells more about Conway. Schools said that during his personal journey in Stafford he has encountered many wonderful people. Conway, too, described himself as being on a journey, Schools said. In his spare time, Schools enjoys the rewards of research and great friendships. He has a passion for ballroom dancing at Strictly Ballroom of Fredericksburg, especially his favorite dance, the Argentine Tango. Most of all, the rich history of the Fredericksburg area, to include Stafford, “never ceases to amaze, with intrigue, excitement and discovery,” according to Schools.

Labor of love

Chichester led charge for military memorial ALEKS DOLZENKO

adolzenko@insidenova.com

an Chichester proved to be the right person to head the committee that raised funds to build the Stafford County Armed Forces Memorial. The Stafford native spent time in the military and attained the rank of captain in the U.S. Army. His deployment in Vietnam and later into Cambodia ended in July 1970 when he came home to a country divided by the Vietnam War. Chichester recalls that upon his return he was “treated great.” He recalled that, “The people of this county have always been very good to me.” Then 46 years later he was tasked to help raise funds for the memorial at the county’s government center along Courthouse Road. “I was particularly motivated by the thought that this memorial represents a welcome home for veterans of the war in Vietnam,” Chichester said. After a 40-year career as the county’s commonwealth’s attorney, Chichester seemed like the ideal candidate to head up a major project to collect enough money for the construction of the memorial. The Stafford County Board of Supervisors set up a commission to get the project underway, and the commission of retired Marine Lt. Gen. Ron Christmas, Del. Mark Dudenhefer and Supervisor Gary Snellings passed the ball to a working group of volunteers to raise funds for the memorial, which was expected to cost $675,000. Chichester headed up the working group that included Mark Osborn, Billy Shelton, Edward Wallace, Elizabeth Davis, Sue Henderson, Frank White, Charlie Jett, James Brown and John Cox. “I asked several people to be a part of this group, including former Sheriff Charlie Jett and Frank White,” Chichester said. “Around Memorial Day of 2016 we started fundraising and shortly after Columbus Day we had reached that goal.” The initial goal was for “a barebones structure,” Chichester pointed out. So the group set a new goal at $838,000. “I think by the beginning of 2017 we had raised that amount,” he said.

6 • PEOPLE OF STAFFORD • SEPTEMBER 2018

The additional money was used to enhance the safety and beauty of the memorial, Chichester noted. “Raising this money was easier than we thought for several reasons,” he said. Firstly, he credits the board of supervisors for backing the project with the initial funding. “Secondly, we got large contributions from Larry Silver and the estate of Russell Sullivan,” Chichester said. Silver’s father served in World War ll and was a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient. Also,his grandfather was in World War l. Sullivan was a gunner on a dive bomber flying off an aircraft carrier in the Pacific during World War ll. He also gave credit to the residents of Stafford County for their donations, including the purchase of personalized pavers in memory of personnel who served in the armed forces. Contributions were large and small, which demonstrates the generosity of people in Stafford and the surrounding area, he said. Literature and pictures of the memorial were distributed and some of the committee members gave talks to various groups and made phone calls. “Stafford County citizens have a long history of generosity dating back to post Civil War days,” he said. The ground breaking for the memorial was held March 4, 2017 and the dedication was on July 10. The idea for a memorial was sparked by Donald Lamar, who asked Stafford County officials if his son, Marine Sgt. Donald Lamar II, a Stafford High School graduate who was killed in Afghanistan in 2010, could be recognized for his service. Lamar, 23, left behind his wife, Stephanie, and a daughter, Madison. The idea grew into a memorial to honor the fallen, those who have served and those who are currently serving. “I am very proud that my county built this memorial to honor those who served in the military,” Chichester said. “It is those men and women who put their lives in jeopardy to create and later guarantee the constitutional rights and freedoms that we enjoy each day.” “For me working on this project was a labor of love.”
