County says thanks with Veterans Day Ceremony Stafford County will host a special ceremony Friday, Nov. 8, to honor veterans at the Armed Services Memorial. Stafford resident and 22-year Army veteran Matt Brown has been invited to place the wreath to honor and recognize veterans and their service. Retired U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Gen. Ron Christmas is the keynote speaker, according to a news release. “Mr. Brown and Gen. Christmas are examples of the type of outstanding citizen veterans whose selflessness and generosity enrich our community,” said Chairman of the Board of Supervisors Gary Snellings, Hartwood District. “Not only

did they serve their country, both overcoming injuries, they have volunteered in their communities and given their time to others.” Brown served in the Army from the Vietnam War to Operation Desert Shield. He was exposed to Agent Orange and received wounds to his left eye and right leg. He has volunteered through his church, Emmanuel A.M.E. Church, and helped numerous veterans with the complex process of applying for veterans benefits. Additionally, he helped keep our country safe by working for Homeland Security.

Christmas is the founder of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, former president of the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation and a member of the Stafford Armed Services Memorial Commission. Gen. Christmas served in the Marine Corps for 34 years. He received the Navy Cross for extraordinary heroism and a Purple Heart medal in the Battle for Hue City in the Vietnam War. A Color Guard from the Stafford Sheriff ’s Office will present the colors. Stafford Sheriff ’s Office chaplain and Marine Corps veteran Ron Thayer will offer the

Your “normal” may not be normal. Most women will experience at least one form of pelvic pain in their lifetime. Ranging from dull to sharp, occasional to constant, or sudden to chronic. Pelvic pain can be caused by something as simple as ovulation or as serious as gynecologic cancer. If you are experiencing chronic pelvic pain, speak with your doctor or gynecologist to get a proper diagnosis. Many conditions can be resolved with medication or minimally invasive surgery. If you experience sudden, sharp persistent pain, seek medical attention immediately. Stafford Hospital is one of only six Virginia hospitals certified as a Center of Excellence in Minimally Invasive Gynecology (COEMIG) by the Surgical Review Corporation.

I don’t know if he was wounded, but he probably was. And like many veterans — particularly the British, who tend to be more reserved about such things – he didn’t talk about it much. But he did wear his medal that one Sunday and it changed my view of what a veteran was ever after. Namely, that those who serve their country, whether doing heroic deeds or just the often unglamorous things that needed doing during wartime and peacetime, can be anybody. Appearances, as they were in this case, are deceiving. A veteran can be an old man in a nursing home. Your child’s teacher. Perhaps a granddad, a father, mother, uncle, brother or a sister. Your mechanic, a bank manager, a coworker and the list goes on. I have veterans in my classes at Virginia Commonwealth University who are still under 25. But they all have one thing in common and that is that for some period of their life they served their country in the armed forces. They will often say, and it’s a common quote among veterans, that they were just “doing their jobs” or “doing what they were told to do.” Fair enough. But whether they choose to frame their service in these words or not, they were protecting us, our freedom and our way of our life. This Veterans Day, and indeed every day, they deserve our thanks.

Three boys struck near bus stop GREG HAMBRICK » BY ghambrick@insidenova.com

Three children were struck by a vehicle while walking to the bus stop early Nov. 1, according to the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. Two 13-year-old boys and an 11-yearold boy were struck in a crosswalk near their bus stop in the area of Highpointe Boulevard and Pinnacle Drive around 7:38 a.m., SCSO spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo said. All three boys were treated at an area hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening. The driver, Jose Minas, 37, of Stafford, has been charged with reckless driving, obscured windshield, defective equipment and failure to yield to pedestrians. Deputies will be conducting extra checks at school bus stops in the area during school hours, Vicinanzo said. Anyone who sees a motorist operating unsafely around a school bus or school bus stop can contact the sheriff ’s office at 540-658-4400.

STATE ASKS FOR HELP With the number of deadly pedestrianrelated incidents rising on Virginia’s roadways, the state government is reminding both drivers and those walking that they have a role to play in reducing the number of accidents. Last year, 123 pedestrians were killed on Virginia’s roadways, the highest number in a decade. “Tragically, we are on pace for an equally high number of deaths again this year,” said Virginia Secretary of Transportation Shannon Valentine. State officials noted that one-quarter of pedestrian fatalities on Virginia roadways occur in November and December, when daylight hours grow increasingly shorter. In Stafford County, there have been eight wrecks involving pedestrians so far this year, with 15 injuries and no fatalities, according to state crash data. In 2018, there were 10 wrecks involving pedestrians in the county, with eight injuries and two fatalities.

Fredericksburg Nationals continue celebration ahead of first season The Fredericksburg Nationals organization is inviting its fans to celebrate the birthday of Mary Washington with a special reveal of the team’s new jerseys in downtown Fredericksburg.

The team store will be open from 1-4 p.m. following the event, according to a news release. The team will be revealing a team logo and the new team jerseys, modeled by members of the University of

Mary Washington baseball team. New merchandise and customized jerseys will be available at the team store following the event. The Mary Washington House is located at 1200 Charles St. and the team store is at 601 Caroline St. Attendees will hear from Nick Hall, the team’s executive vice president and general manager; Anne Darron, executive director of the Mary Washington House; Fredericksburg Mayor Mary Katherine Greelaw; and team owner Art Silber and his granddaughter, Sarah Silber.

Cole defeats Milde in 28th GREG HAMBRICK » BY ghambrick@insidenova.com

Several Stafford County Republicans found success at the polls, but big Democratic wins elsewhere in the state were also evident in some Stafford results. Democrats won back control of the General Assembly after Tuesday’s elections, with the help of Josh Cole’s win in the 28th District. Milde, a former county supervisor, won the support of district voters in Stafford, but lost in key precincts in Fredericksburg, according to unofficial results. Cole won with 13,325 votes to Milde’s 12,289 votes. A Democrat was narrowly ahead of Supervisor Jack Cavalier in unofficial results for the Griffis-Widewater DisGOLD

Voters countywide backed a measure requesting permission to borrow up to $50 million for several road widening and safety improvements. Support for the measure was at 31,479 votes, or 76.83%, to 9,491 votes. In other races, incumbent Sens. Jill Vogel, R-27th, Richard Stuart, R-28th, and Scott Surovell, D-36th, were reelected. Del.

Colonial Forge comes up short against Highland Springs HUGH RIST » BY For InsideNoVa

One big negative—the scoreboard— outweighed three huge positives Friday night as Colonial Forge played host to four-time defending Class 5 champion Highland Springs in a game that featured back-and-forth thrills and things that probably made fans of both teams cheer for and want to hide their eyes at. Alas, when the final buzzer sounded, Highland Springs beat the Eagles 27-20, but coach John Brown said he was pleased with his team’s effort on both sides of the ball. “For the most part, we played football tonight. We did a good job and I am proud our kids,” Brown said. “[The] defense put us in a lot of good [field] position [opportunities], but we could not take advantage. Against a team like Highland Springs, you have to take advantage of every opportunity and we didn’t tonight.” The main positive was coming back from a 27-7 deficit with 2:26 left in the third quarter as Colonial Forge (7-2) scored two fourth quarter touchdowns and had a chance to tie it late in the fourth quarter. But Highland Springs (9-0) was able to overcome five turnovers, including three interceptions overall, to hold on for the victory. So although Colonial Forge notched a positive by winning the turnover battle, the Springers’ defense, including strong defensive pressure on Eagles’ quarterback Madden Lowe all night long, proved to be too much. “They [Highland Springs] have one of the top defenses in the state; there’s no doubt,” Brown said. That fact was evident from the game’s opening drive when Forge went three-

and-out, including two incomplete pass attempts by Lowe, who struggled with a 7-21-2 line, thanks to the Springers’ relentless pass rush. There were no sacks, but Lowe looked rushed and was forced outside the pocket a few times. That Forge receivers dropped four balls did not help, especially given that the Eagles only managed 72 yards on the ground. “When I scheduled this game, I knew Highland Springs would expose some things we have to clean up before the playoffs,” Brown said. “We have to run the football and we have to score more points. I think our defense is elite, but we have to get our offense going.” It didn’t help that one important weapon on both sides of the ball for Forge, wide receiver/defensive back Elijah Sarratt did not play and was seen in a walking boot on the sideline during the game. Brown

pronounced him day-to-day. “We knew some of those guys were going to be out this week,” Brown said. “But we didn’t want to use that as an excuse. The guys who did play had to step up and a few of them surely did.” One of those was senior receiver/defensive back Avery Johnson-Edmonds, who positively rang in his Senior Night football game in style, catching a 27-yard scoring pass from Lowe early in the second quarter that helped Forge take an early short-lived 7-6 lead, then pulling the Eagles within the final margin with an exciting and somewhat dazzling 35-yard in-

terception return. Forge was unable to take advantage of two instances of great field position. The first one happened when the Eagles got great field position after the Eagles recovered a fumble at the Springers’ 24. Jaelan Black ran for eight yards on the first play, then an incomplete pass and a run for no gain before a chop block put the brakes to that drive. Another time was after a bad snap on a punt try when the ball was placed at the Highland Springs 19. But two plays later, Lowe threw an interception and Highland Springs scored the touchdown that made it 27-7. Brown said the Eagles’ late comeback showed what he has been emphasizing all year long—the desire to prove themselves to be among the state’s best. “At the end of the season, we want to be an elite team,” Brown said. “We’ve worked hard to be in that conversation, so we will look at the film and fix what needs to be fixed for next week.”

HEALTH CALENDAR

PATIENT PORTALS | GREG HAMBRICK

Democratic wins may boost health care efforts Wins for Democrats in Tuesday’s election promise a new push for a number of legislative priorities that had been sidelined by the GOP leaders in both the House of Delegates and the state Senate. That likely includes gun reform measures, the Equal Rights Amendment and a minimum wage increase. But it will likely also mean fresh traction for several health care proposals pushed by the state’s Democratic leaders in the past. One of the biggest issues will likely be a focus on growing Medicaid access. Expansion already approved by the legislature has led to 325,000 more Virginians enrolled. Last month, Gov. Ralph Northam called for actions to further increase that number, noting that increased costs and lack of available coverage is an issue for more Virginians. “Health coverage should be both meaningful and affordable, but unfortunately, policies from Washington threaten to increase the number of families who are uninsured or underinsured,” Northam said at the time. “It’s more important than ever that we identify and implement policies at the state level that control costs and ensure that Virginians can afford to buy health insurance that covers their health care needs.” Northam wants to find ways to reduce health insurance premiums and review state policies and programs to find ways to apply innovation to health care and “promote

greater access and enrollment in quality, affordable health insurance coverage.” Northam wants to start with vulnerable populations, including pregnant women, non-English speaking populations, individuals with disabilities and children in foster care. Local Democrats campaigned on preserving their gains on Medicaid expansion, but they also have proposals that will now get a fair vetting in a legislative process led by Democrats. Del. Lee Carter, D-50th, wants to pass a measure capping insulin copays, noting the dangerous and deadly results of diabetics rationing their insulin injections due to the cost. “We have people paying hundreds of dollars for two months of insulin,” Carter told InsidNoVa last month. “It’s not a medication that’s inconvenient for someone to skip. It’s a medicine that is lethal for someone to skip.” With Medicaid expansion secured, Del. Elizabeth Guzman, D-31st, wants to improve access to healthcare for workers and senior citizens. Del. Danica Roem, D-13th, was uninsured when she took office in 2018. Re-elected to a second term, she wants to see the state maximize Medicaid expansion, along with a public option that could address the uninsured and underinsured Virginians who don’t qualify for Medicaid.

Already an advocate for residents battling with health insurance companies over coverage, Roem said last month that she’ll continue to push for improved access to mental health care services, prosthetic devices and coverage for transition-related health care. And it’s not just the incumbents looking to make moves on healthcare issues. Newly elected Josh Cole in the 28th District also wants to address insulin and other medication costs and surprise bills that patients face after hospital stays or emergency room visits. In a district with a large veteran population, Cole also would look to tackle persistent issues with their care, including long wait times, uncovered procedures and unsafe facilities. Movement on one of the biggest issues in health care may come in a much larger discussion about marijuana reform. State and local Democratic leaders have pushed for cannabis reform and will at least have an avenue to get the debate moving in Richmond. This will have an impact on criminal records and prison reform, but it will also change doctor/patient conversations on pain management and access to treatment.

100 years after prohibition, jobs in breweries skyrocketing

rohibition — a nationwide ban on the production sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages — went into effect on Oct. 28, 1919. One hundred years later, a robust U.S. alcohol industry employs about 1 million Americans. And consumer preferences for locally produced craft beers are fueling explosive job growth in U.S. breweries. Brewery-related job postings on ZipRecruiter more than doubled between 2017 and 2018, and are on track for another strong year in 2019. This is an exceptional economic story. While in the rest of the economy, there is

a trend towards establishments consolidating and big mega-companies gobbling up smaller ones, the number of breweries has expanded six-fold since 2008. And while the U.S. economy broadly transitions from a manufacturing economy to

a service economy, the alcohol industry is one place where job growth in manufacturing outpaces that in retail by a factor of eight. Overall, the alcohol industry employs people across four sectors: manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and leisure and hospitality. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, taverns, pubs, and bars are the largest employers in the industry, with about 400,000 staff on payrolls. Alcoholic beverage wholesalers are next, with about 200,000. Historically, retailers (beer, wine and liquor stores) have been the third-

largest employers, with about 160,000 staff. But alcoholic beverage manufacturers (breweries, wineries, and distilleries) overtook retailers a few months ago, and continue to experience rapid job growth. In just 10 years, employment at breweries, wineries, and distilleries has grown 139%, far faster than total employment economy-wide, which has grown 16%. Employment at bars and alcohol stores, by contrast, grew at about the same pace as employment overall (15% and 16%, respectively), employment at alcohol wholesalers has grown slightly faster by 20%. — Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter

Warehousing employment growing, but for how long?

mployment in warehousing and storage has grown by a whopping 50% since 2015, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Particularly in poorer areas where land is cheap and it makes sense to build storage facilities, warehouses are providing job opportunities for people with little education or work experience. In some towns, it has now eclipsed other industries as the leading employer. The warehousing expansion has been fueled by growth in global trade and ecommerce. But it is unclear how long it can continue. In recent months, growth has slowed. The slowdown may be a temporary blip like the one we experienced in 2013, the result of a trade war and manufacturing slowdown. Or it is possible that the period of explosive growth may be over for good. Turnover is notoriously high in warehousing jobs, due to relatively low pay and job satisfaction, paired with high rates of work-related injuries. Many of the jobs are staffing agency or contractor positions with limited benefits. Warehousing is also

one of the industries with the greatest potential for automation. New ten-year employment projections out from BLS estimate that employment in many warehousing occupations will be roughly the same in 2028 as it is now. The number of hand laborers and material movers, for example, is projected to rise from 4.10 million in 2018 to just 4.25 million by 2028, and the number of hand packers and packagers to fall from 673,000 to 650,000. New warehouses will continue to open, but the number of workers per warehouse could fall as the most routine or unpleasant tasks are automated. Highly automated cold storage facilities offer a glimpse into the future. The overall result will be more modest growth in the quantity of work than we experienced over the past five years, but a distinct increase in the quality of work. Hand laborer positions will be replaced by jobs for machine operators, maintenance technicians, and even drone pilots–jobs that tend to be safer, require more technical training and pay more. — Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter

While overall job growth slows, health care employment surges

ealthcare employment is experiencing breakaway growth in 2019 as an aging population and rising incomes raise demand for healthcare services. That is creating new opportunities for job seekers, including those displaced by the retail apocalypse. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the healthcare sector has added more than 300,000 new jobs in the first nine months of 2019, 21% more than over the same period last year. Meanwhile, the wider economy has seen job growth slow, with 37% fewer workers added to payrolls overall. Job seekers from other industries increasingly look to switch to healthcare As a result, job seekers are flocking to healthcare from other sectors. In a recent ZipRecruiter survey, one in 10 retail workers said they were looking for jobs in the industry. People who used to work in business, education or accommodation before are also making the switch to jobs in the industry in large numbers. Investing in healthcare skills, particularly mental health skills, is likely to pay

off The barrier to entry can be high in healthcare occupations, with many jobs requiring degrees and/or occupational licenses. But investments in those skills are likely to pay off in the long run since the industry is expected to account for

Why rising flexible and remote work are the answer A

bout 29% of workers have the option to work from home and 57% have flexible schedules in which they are able to vary the times they work, according to data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data come from a supplement to the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which was fielded in 2017-2018. The questions were newly redesigned, so it is difficult to track changes over time. But viewing the survey alongside other data sources suggests a clear upward trend towards more flexible and remote work over the past five years. The American Working Conditions Survey (AWCS), for example, found that only 38% of workers could adapt their working hours within certain limits in 2015, far fewer than the 57% who said so in the 2017-2018 ATUS supplement. The 2015 AWCS also found that presence in the workplace was a requirement for 78% of workers, with the option to telecommute only available for a smaller minority of workers. The increase in flexible and remote work reflects changing work norms, facilitated by the diffusion of technologies like videoconferencing and office chat apps. It

is particularly good news for three groups of workers: working parents, semi-retirees, and displaced workers. 1. Working parents, especially mothers, are more likely to exercise the option to work from home to coordinate their work schedule with family needs, according to the ATUS data. As telecommuting becomes more widespread, mothers could come to face fewer disadvantages in the workplace. 2. Many older workers are remaining in the workforce beyond retirement eligibility, and retirees are â&#x20AC;&#x153;unretiringâ&#x20AC;? and coming back to work. Flexible schedules and workfrom-home opportunities are particularly popular among this group of workers. 3. Displaced workers in towns that have lost their major industry, be it a coal mine or car factory, often find it extremely challenging to find new jobsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;let alone jobs that pay as well. And for many, moving to a place with more job opportunities is not an option, due to family ties and differences in the cost of living. As working from home or remotely becomes more of an accepted norm, living in a town that experiences economic disruption may no longer cut one off from career opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter

Psychiatry In ZipRecruiterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Skills Index, mental health skills make a prominent showing on the list of most in-demand health skills in 2019.

The positions they are seeking to fill include office receptionists and appointment schedulers, billing specialists, substance abuse and mental health counselors, psychologists and psychiatrists. In other words, they span the pay and education spectrum and involve a wide range of functions likely to appeal to an ever wider pool of job seekers. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter
