BOS OKs $2.85 M to improve stretch of Brooke Road

he Stafford County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to allocate $2.85 million in unspent fiscal 2015 money toward the Brooke Road Safety Improvement

Project.

Supervisors voted 6-1, with Supervisor Meg Bohmke, R-Falmouth, casting the dissenting vote.

The money represents a surplus originally intended for the county school system, and Bohmke said the money should stay with the schools.

Supervisor Laura Sellers, R-Garrisonville, disagreed, noting that the school system’s front office essentially stole money from Stafford’s teachers in hiding money.

In two instances, Stafford County Public Schools funds were mismanaged, and millions of dollars in surplus money was discovered.

Last year, more than $9 million in surplus funds was found. The school system returned the money to the county, but asked that the county appropriate it back to the schools.

At the end of this budget year, $7 million in surplus funds was found, but the school system quickly allocated some of the money toward a stipend and other projects not initially identified as priorities.

Supervisor Wendy Maurer, R-Rock Hill, said that it was an attempt to “paint us into a corner.”

Supervisor Jack Cavalier, R-GriffisWidewater, said that the money actually cannot go back to the ROAD schools, even though it was PAGE 13 originally intended to go

The agent caught up with the couple near the 1100 block of Ramoth Church Road and attempted to detain them.

The man brandished a knife at the agent, Morris Moncure said.

The Sheriff ’s Office, contacted by witnesses to the foot chase, arrived on the scene and caught both individuals.

Vandals use cement mixers as bumper cars Vandals used cement mixers to play bumper cars during a destructive rampage at Aggregate Industries on Warrenton Road this week, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman M.C. Morris Moncure said.

The vandals, identified as juveniles whose names were not released, entered nearly every office in the building and destroyed computers, broke glass, discharged fire extinguishers and caused damage to walls and doors. All of the vehicle keys were stolen, Morris Moncure said.

The Stafford Sheriff ’s Office answered two breaking and entering calls at the business , the first on June 13 at approximately 5:45 a.m. and another the following morning at approximately 6 a.m.

Master Detective E.L. McCullough, the lead investigator on the case, said the company had to close for a day and lost thousands of dollars in revenue. The associated cleanup cost is estimated at $12,000.

McCullough noted there have been several reports of vandalism in the Olde Forge/Warrenton Road area of south Stafford in recent days.

This isn’t an obituary. At least not formally. Rather it’s a farewell and a goodbye to a fellow writer and long-time friend and neighbor.

DAVID KERR Ben Blankenship has written for the Stafford County Sun and now InsideNova for at least two decades. He was with this paper almost from the beginning. And it seemed to me that he could write about almost anything— recollections of childhood, his dog, azaleas and, of course, current affairs and politics. For those of you who have not read Ben’s columns before his retirement from writing, he had quite a following. He was a conservative Republican and proud of it. Just for the record, I am not. But I think it says something about the two of us that we always got along.

There is bound to be a lesson in that.

Among Ben’s gifts to his community were his stories of his own life. My favorite was about the time when he was 12 and living on a ranch in Texas. His mother had passed on and it was just he and his Dad. It wasn’t an easy life. One time, his Dad had a business commitment but was also on the hook to deliver a truckload of cattle some 200 miles away. So Ben, at the age most children are still coddled, was given the keys to the truck, directions, a

little bit of money and told to deliver the cattle. Like a lot of farm kids he knew how to drive. But 200 miles! Ben did it. He made his delivery and then drove home.

That no-nonsense, get-the-job-done and then, of course, telling the tale and making the reader smile broadly as it unfolded, defined Ben pretty well.

Ben and I had another connection. When I was growing up I had a pet Yorkshire terrier. Just a little guy named Charlie. He lived a long time and was our family mascot. In fact, I think my parents may have more pictures of the dog than they do of me.

Ben had a Yorkie as well. His dog’s name was Lollipop and, like our little terrier, he was Ben’s buddy and every so often he’d pop up in a story. These weren’t political tales, they were just about Lollipop and his interactions with the world. I always felt that Lollipop, like his owner, was a profound observer of people. No wonder they got along so well.

Ben, and no one who knew him would doubt this, was a loyal person. He was true to his family, friends and his beliefs.

Years ago I was gently threatened with legal action by a local developer over a water pollution issue I had mentioned in a column. In Ben’s next column, like a true Texan, literary guns were blazing, Ben came to my defense. Just like in a western, “You guys now have two guys to fight with, not just one.” Needless to say, the developer never said another word.

Ben Blankenship was a fixture of Aquia Harbour. He loved the community, wrote for its publications (he did a lot of writing) and was a beloved neighbor. While I knew him as a writer, many people also knew him as a gardener. He raised, sold and often gave away azaleas. His azaleas thrive all over the Harbour. Their hardiness and majestic blooms just fascinated him, and they were perfect for the Harbour’s sometimes unforgiving soil.

Ben came a long way from his family ranch in Texas. He was in the Army, went to college and worked for the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Among his many postings, he edited a national Agriculture Department magazine. He was always a writer and loved the profession.

I think one of the saddest things he did, and it was just for a few months, was being forced by advancing age to give up his column.

Several years ago we were talking about why we write columns and I loved his explanation. Of course, he noted he had something to say. That’s a good reason to write a column. He liked entertaining people and he liked sharing his views.

But, most of all, he said that his writing was a way for future generations to know who he was. Pictures and stories certainly convey the sense of grandparent or great grandparent, but what a treat it is to be able to read that person’s story and observations in their own words.

Fortunately, future generations will have a lot to read.

I am going to miss my old friend.

Gold: Legoland move derailed by gridlock It seems to me … the need for road and traffic improvements on Interstate-95 and other roads is extremely apparent and extremely HARVEY GOLD overdue.

The county board of supervisors should have recognized a long time ago that major companies looking to locate in Stafford, and whose long-term growth and development requirements are compatible with Stafford’s, would look at the county’s roads and traffic.

This would be particularly true of a company whose business is to routinely draw large numbers of customers to their facility. Such a need would apply to a major resort, a baseball team or Legoland.

The offer of the Hagerstown Suns was basically a very bad business deal. What made it extremely bad is that they did not seem to care how the crowds they might draw would affect I-95 traffic and Stafford’s residents.

Then along came a nice, clean project, the possibility of a Legoland theme park in Stafford County. However, after they took a long, hard look at the county’s

JUNE 24, 2016 | WWW.INSIDENOVA.COM

NEWS

pros and cons, they decided to locate near Goshen, N.Y. There probably was more than one reason they rejected Stafford, but the I-95 traffic had to be one of the main. Why would a company whose business is vehicle dependent want to locate adjacent to a routinely congested major interstate and the only road that would lead to their entrance?

So it came as no surprise that the wonderful world of Lego won’t be in Stafford.

Unfortunately, there will be others who won’t select Stafford County to locate their businesses.

There is, however, hope on the horizon.

Now, although years late and millions of dollars short, road funds seem to be coming to rescue Stafford, Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania from the ever increasing daily vehicle gridlock and decaying roads and bridges. Virginia’s new transportation prioritization program called “Smart Scale” will bring an additional $205 million to VDOT’s Fredericksburg District, making the district’s total funding $625.5 through 2022.

This indeed is welcome news. The improvements will be many, including a new bridge and collector – distributor lanes parallel to I-95 between U.S 17 in Stafford and Route 3 in Fredericksburg.

EDUCATION

BUSINESS

OPINION

Also to be improved is the intersection along with turn lanes on U.S. 1 at Courthouse Road and at Hope Road.

Clearly, these road and bridge improvements are long overdue. But this funding and support for improvement shows, at the risk of a pun, there is light at the end of the tunnel. However, although light travels at 186,000 miles per second, the light of road improvement will travel at a much slower speed and these projects will take years to complete. So some of the folks at the age where they don’t buy green bananas won’t be around to enjoy these improvements. And I-95 travelers will continue to contend with gridlock that will get worse as construction zones appear.

During this long-term construction period, we can hope that Stafford supervisors will not approve new housing or industrial and shopping developments that will not be compatible with the road improvements or create new burdens on the roads that will be improved.

But most of all, we can hope that VDOT and all involved in making the final road improvements will come up with a plan to solve the I-95 congestion that is better than the last “move the problem down the road” plans.

Stafford Scout earns Eagle by helping cancer fight

Traci Abramson »forByInsideNoVa

Zachary Leigh, of Boy Scout Troop 94 and a student at H.H. Poole Middle School, received his Eagle Scout award on May 21 at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Eustace ZACHARY LEIGH Road.

Zach’s two friends’ lives have been deeply affected by cancer. Tomas Nichols was diagnosed with leukemia and lymphoma at the age of 5, and Gabriel Cummings lost his mother, Stafford Middle School teacher Rebecca Cummings, to breast cancer a year ago. Zach chose to honor both friends’ courage and sacrifice by focusing his Eagle Service Project on the fight against cancer.

Zach has participated in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s “Light the Night” walk for several years, fundraising, walking and supporting his friend as part of Team Tomas, which has raised over $71,000 for cancer research. Zach chose to build on this by centering his Eagle Scout project on helping with the coordination, set-up and logistics of the walk on Oct. 10.

Preparations for the project began almost a year earlier, with Zach coordinating with Paul Nichols, Tomas’ father, who is a lead in the organizational efforts for the event. Nichols, a former Marine and Eagle Scout himself, mentored Zach through each step of the service project.

In all, over 175 service hours were donated for the project. Volunteers ranged in age from 12 to more than 60.

Traci Abramson is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Fredericksburg Stake.

Stafford schools place in safe driving contest The Youth of Virginia Speak Out About Traffic Safety (YOVASO) and the Virginia State Police announced the winners of the 2016 “Drive Alive” Teen Safe Driving campaign North Stafford High School was the second-place winner in the commonwealth-wide competition.

In the middle school division, second place went to students at Shirley C. Heim and third place was awarded to Drew Middle School.

North Stafford high students developed and produced an educational video that included real-life testimonials, interviews with law enforcement and statistics on distracted driving, alcohol use, joyriding and other teen driving factors.

The video was uploaded to YouTube and other social sites for student viewing and for use by teachers in the classroom. The video was viewed by 1,000 students, close to 56 percent of the school’s student body. The students also organized a week of safety activities during lunch that meshed with spirit week and led up to prom.

Activities included pledge banner signings, a vehicle maintenance station by the Autotech classes, DUI goggle demonstrations and a seat belt fashion show where students designed and modeled seat belts. The video is at https://youtu.be/UQvrkYq3f0k.

At Shirley Heim Middle School, the YOVASO club worked with the drama club to write several scripts that focused on distracted driving.

The best script was then used to produce an informative video that was shared with over 10,000 people on YouTube and Facebook.

Drew Middle students reached peers by creating a large poster in the main hallway of the school to reflect the Arrive Alive message. The poster was made up of safety notes written by students and was designed in the shape of a seat belt. Students gathered after school to write safety messages, work on the poster, watch videos on the importance of being traffic safety advocates and had the opportunity to sign the pledge banner.

More than 60 high and middle schools in the commonwealth participated in the Arrive Alive campaign from April 4 to May 6.

The high school campaign focused on reducing risks and preventing teen driver-related crashes during the high-risk warm weather months and during prom and graduation celebrations.

The middle school campaign addressed passenger, pedestrian and bike safety, as well as establishing safe driving attitudes and behaviors prior to the driving years.

Migliorini has another strong season at Randolph-Macon

» By David Driver For Insidenova

Cole Migliorini had to make several adjustments this past season as a sophomore on the baseball team at Division III Randolph-Macon in Ashland.

The Colonial Forge High School graduate began his college career playing third base as a freshman for the Yellow Jackets, then he moved to the outfield at the end of last year.

The Stafford resident was back in left field this year as a sophomore for Randolph-Macon, and he was not a victim of a sophomore slump. Migliorini had 36 hits in 117 at bats (.308) as a freshman, and he followed that up by hitting .300 in 100 at bats this year as a sophomore, with three homers and 23 RBIs. “I felt I did well. It was definitely an adjustment from last year when I went from third base to left field,” he said. “This year I was consistently fifth or sixth in the lineup. A lot of the teams knew how to pitch to me. I got a lot more off-speed pitches.”

It was a memorable season for the Yellow Jackets, who won the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) title and advanced to the Division III regionals.

The season came to an end in Washington, Pennsylvania, with a loss to La Roche in the regional title game in late May. “I think we had a great group of upperclassmen leaders,” Migliorini said. “That helps us a lot.”

Randolph-Macon was led by senior third baseman Travis Lodge of Chesterfield in suburban Richmond and senior left-handed pitcher James Walsh of Mechanicsville – a pair of Division III AllAmericans. Ray Hedrick was named coach of the year in Virginia by the Virginia Sports Information Directors.

The team was 35-8-1 overall and 14-6 in the ODAC. Other Stafford products on the team included sophomore pitcher Cullen Moore and North Stafford High and Ian

Pape, a freshman catcher from North Stafford. Migliorini played against Moore and Pape in high school.

Migliorini also considered attending Mary Washington and King University in Bristol, Tennessee.

“Those were the three main ones,” he said.

So why did he pick Randolph-Macon?

“I think it was the fact it was the coaching staff that was top of the line,” he said. “I really liked the campus. It is a small campus town. Mary Washington felt like it was too close to me and King College was too far. I think (Randolph-Macon) was a good fit for me.”

Migliorini is playing baseball this summer in the four-team Piedmont League, a wood-bat circuit for college players, with homes games at James River High in Richmond. The league has single games on Wednesdays and doubleheaders on Saturdays, and has Division I players in the league as well.

Migliorini played baseball and golf at Colonial Forge and helped the school win district titles in baseball in 2012 and 2013. He was honorable mention allCommonwealth District as a sophomore in 2012 and was a first-team all-district player in 2013. As a senior he was an all-conference player and played in the state all-star game. The Stafford resident also excelled in the classroom and is now studying business.

Last year he had 44 putouts and nine assists on the field for the Yellow Jackets before he made the move to the outfield.

The other Colonial Forge baseball products who played in college this spring were senior pitcher Chase Boster and freshman outfielder Shawn Nickles of Marshall in West Virginia; and junior catcher Drew Mickula and junior pitcher Michael Mares of Division III Roanoke.

Boster led Marshall with eight wins.

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT

Turn to the web for kids’ summer enrichment Parents and teachers know kids lose scholarly momentum over the summer, and research backs them up.

Certain kinds of MARK STOUT summer camps go a long way to keep the brain’s synapses firing. They are expensive and most parents can only afford a week or two, if they can afford it at all. And by now it may be too late to sign up for good camps anyway.

How can we keep young brains firing on all cylinders so students can hit the ground running when back in school in late August?

I recently came across a website listing 1,800 online courses. Class-Central. com does not provide the courses but lists courses produced by universities like Harvard, Stanford and Princeton, and companies such as Google and Facebook.

High school students, maybe even some middle schoolers, can watch these videos to get a feel for subjects they are interested in. Even if they do not finish an entire course, it will get them thinking.

And it is a wonderful way to dip their toes into subjects they may want to major in at college.

The courses are free, although there

12

may be a cost for add-on benefits such as course credit, certificates and mentoring.

I’ve tried to learn the Java programming language a few times from books.

I am having more success with an online course out of San Jose State University. I watch at least a few minutes a day. Today, I watched for an hour or two as I procrastinate writing this column.

I’m not looking for any kind of college credit or certificate. I just want to be able to write my own Android app some day, and that takes Java.

There are courses in history, science, mathematics, engineering, education, social sciences, personal management and others.

Think your kids won’t sit down for an online video course? Check their YouTube viewing history. Younger kids especially are inhaling Minecraft videos to learn how to better play Minecraft.

Young girls are making millionaires out of young YouTubers who train them on the best ways to apply makeup. Others go to YouTube to learn to skateboard or other things that interest them.

When the Children’s Television Workshop did its initial research into education – research that lead directly to creating Sesame Street – they discovered children get more out of a video if their parents sit down and watch with them. That is why

Sesame Street has some jokes that would go over the head of children, like characters named Meryl Sheep and Placido Flamingo.

In addition to reading to your younger children every night, consider watching a short educational video with them every day.

The first home computers, the Apple II, the Commodore 64, Radio Shack’s Model I, came with the BASIC programming language. Somewhere along the line companies stopped doing that.

I miss the days when young people looked at their new computers and asked “What can I make this computer do?” instead of “What can this computer do?”

In 1980 I knew a 12-year-old who asked that question, and by 14 he was writing programs for a 20-person financial shop.

He’s made a mint programming apps for Wall Street.

Companies such as Google, Facebook and many others were founded by kids who asked that question.

Kids can begin programming right now at sites such as Scratch, created by MIT. It lets them create animations and games they can share with their friends.

The visual programming concepts they learn can be used in App Inventor, also by MIT, to create programs for their Android phones and tablets. They do not even have

to have an Android device; the site has an emulator.

And the logical concepts they learn in Scratch or the others will directly help them if they move to a more conventional programming language such as Java or C++.

Your Minecraft enthusiast may already be programming. Minecraft scripts, called Mods by your kids, are small Javascript apps that make Minecraft do things. Just don’t tell them they are learning a marketable skill when they think they are playing.

Note for parents: Javascript is in no way related to the Java programming language.

Yet, Javascript is a programming language extensively used in creating websites and is a desirable skill to have.

In 20 years, when we hear the 30-yearold founders of 10-year-old groundbreaking companies talk about how they got interested in technology, we are going to hear a lot about Minecraft mods.

I’ve put a lot of resources in this column’s Link Post at FamilyTechOnline.com. Let’s see if we can’t make the transition back to school this fall less painful for students and teachers, and more productive too.

Former Sheriff Charles Jett was recognized by the Stafford County Board of Supervisors for his service to residents and for his program, Star Force Cadets. After a plaque presentation, Jett and former colleagues gathered for the photo.

there.

The $5.7-million Brooke Road project was delayed due to recent reductions in fuels tax revenues, even though matching state funds have still been available.

The project will help improve 1.8 miles of Brooke Road between Bexley Lane and Stagecoach Road.

The county’s Youth Driver Task Force previously identified it as a dangerous stretch of road.

County residents approved funding for the project in the 2008 transportation bond referendum.

The road stretch has a narrow lane width and virtually no shoulders. It has experienced a significant increase in vehicle traffic with drivers heading to and from the Brooke Virginia Railway Express Station and other drivers using the road as a shortcut to avoid Interstate 95 and U.S. 1.

The specified section of road has been host to 57 vehicle accidents since 1996 and is known as one of the more hazardous rural roadways in the county, according to a board of supervisors’ background report.

Also at the meeting, the board of supervisors: • expressed sincere condolences to a Mountain View High School family, whose 17-year-old son recently died by suicide. A candlelight vigil was held at the school.

A GoFundMe page with a $10,000 goal was set up to financially assist the family.

• honored Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office Deputy Brandon Boyle, who was shot four times June 7 when responding to a breaking and entering

call. Boyle is expected to make a full recovery, said board Chairman Robert Thomas, R-George Washington.

Police said body armor he was wearing likely saved the deputy’s life.

• recognized former Stafford County Sheriff Charles Jett and former Stafford County Supervisor Robert Gibbons, a Republican who led the Rock Hill District.

Jett was honored for his service to the county in keeping residents safe and for his program, Star Force Cadets, which allows special-needs children to be a part of the sheriff ’s office through a variety of activities.

Virginia Sen. Richard Stuart, R-28th District; state Del. Mark Dudenhefer, 2nd District; and state Del. Mark Cole, 88th District, were on hand to honor the men.

Jett served the community for the past 38 years and Gibbons has been a part of public service in Stafford for 34 years.

• recognized Woodlands Pool in Stafford for assisting the FBI with a 34mile swim challenge, through which participants used the pool to reach their goals.

• deferred a vote on changes that would allow developers in Embrey Mill subdivision to offer some of its houses for sale with smaller lots. The number of potential mid-sized lots would apply to 187 out of 1,007 homes. The proposed dwellings would be 1,500 to 1,800 square feet in size. The proposed lot-size width would be 40 feet instead of the current 50 feet and the lot size would be reduced from 5,000 to 4,000 square feet.

Two people spoke at a public hearing on the matter, both expressing skepticism and noting that the proposed approach

does not represent the idea of affordable housing well.

• discussed the increasing cost of a planned new Moncure Elementary School.

Sellers said: “Stafford’s in the habit of tearing down schools to build new ones. I cannot understand it. …”

Sellers said she favors renovation over spending money to tear down and rebuild schools, but knows she’s in the minority about the Moncure project.

Bohmke said she takes great offense to

comments about Stafford High School, which was torn down and rebuilt. Supervisors compared the rebuild to Moncure’s during the discussion.

• unanimously agreed to create a resolution in favor of seeking legislation from the General Assembly for tax relief to residents around Lake Mooney.

As a result of the creation of the lake, some of the houses adjacent to the lake became lakefront property, with property values increasing for some by as much as $100,000.

WORK IN THE MEDIA BUSINESS!

PUZZLE SOLUTIONS

Do you enjoy helping local businesses market their products and services? Are you a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment? Northern Virginia Media Services/InsideNoVa.com is hiring two outside account executives to build and manage advertising campaigns for local businesses.

OUTSIDE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: Working out of either our Woodbridge or our McLean office, this rep will sell print and digital advertising to local businesses.

You’ll be given a book of business but will be expected to build that territory. The ideal candidate will have some business-to-business sales experience, but it does not necessarily have to be in the media industry. More critical skills are a willingness to call on new businesses and an ability to make persuasive presentations.

DIGITAL MEDIA ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: We’re seeking a digitally-savvy salesperson to work with local businesses on online marketing efforts, ranging from website development to display advertising, text messaging and social media management. You’ll build a list of your own accounts as well as become an in-house digital expert for other account executives. This position requires a fundamental knowledge of digital advertising and marketing, an ability to make persuasive presentations, and a willingness to call on new businesses.

Both positions are full-time and offer a suite of benefits, including medical insurance, a 401(k) and paid time off. Northern Virginia Media Services publishes four local weekly newspapers, in Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties; two military base newspapers, at Fort Belvoir and Marine Corps Base Quantico; Washington FAMILY Magazine, and the region’s leading news website, InsideNoVa.com. Our newspapers reach 130,000 households a week, and InsideNoVa has nearly 400,000 unique visitors a month.

To apply for either position, send resume and brief cover letter to Bruce Potter at bpotter@Insidenova.com.
