School board’s Fallon indicted for embezzlement
A TRADITION CONTINUES

tafford County School board member Emily Fallon suddenly resigned from her position on the board Friday, citing medical problems. Three days later, a Stafford grand jury indicted her on embezzlement charges. Fallon was indicted Monday on six felony counts, including three embezzlement charges and three charges of obtaining EMILY FALLON money by false pretense. She will be arraigned July 25 in Stafford County Circuit Court. The allegations against Fallon stem from June 2013 through June last year when she served as president of the Moncure Elementary School Parent-Teacher Organization. Moncure’s PTO serves as a nonprofit of parents supporting teachers and students at the school. According to a press release from Stafford Commonwealth’s Attorney Eric Olsen, the complex investigation started in 2015 when PTO members alerted the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office to significant bookkeeping irregularities during Fallon’s tenure. The commonwealth’s attorney’s office, working with the sheriff ’s office, then gathered enough significant evidence of criminal wrongdoing to present the information to the grand jury. The indictments are related to a time period prior to when Fallon served on the school board. Fallon is not being accused of misusing county funds during her time on the school INDICTED board, the press release PAGE 12 states, but notes that the

Teenager reflects on lessons of love and service JENNIFER ERICKSON for INSIDENOVA

t was about 2 o’clock on a blustery, cold morning when Gabriel Cummings was awakened by his aunt with heartbreaking news: His mother had just died. The 13-year-old knew it was only a matter of time and had asked his aunt, Traci Abramson, to tell him the news, regardless of the hour. His mother’s decade-long battle with breast cancer was over Feb. 17, 2015. Although he was grateful his mother, 48-year-old Rebecca Abramson Cummings, wouldn’t have to suffer any longer, he longed for her; she was the kind woman who was a supreme example of love and service. After he wept, Abramson asked if he wanted to go to his home to see her. Without a doubt, he said, “Yes.” Abramson and Gabriel drove through the 6 to 7 inches of snow that blanketed the streets of their Stafford

neighborhood. When driving through Hampton Oaks, they saw a car stuck in the snow. One man was behind the wheel while another was trying to push the vehicle out. Concerned for Gabriel’s emotional well-being, Abramson asked if he wanted to stop and help. At first, he was not sure. Abramson drove slowly past the car, and then shifted in front of it to cut a path for them. When they were barely at the top of the
hill, Gabriel said, “Aunt Traci, I think we should stop. That’s what Mum would want us to do.” Abramson agreed, and they turned around and went back. One of the men was a local deputy sheriff and had just finished his shift. For the next 15 minutes or so, Abramson and Gabriel helped dig them out of the snow. Then, they drove ahead of the other vehicle so SUBMITTED there was a path to follow. By the time they arrived at his home, his sister, Amanda Abramson; and brother and sister in-law, Matthew and Anne Abramson, were waiting. “That service rendered had helped this then-13-year-old boy find joy in what was most certainly his darkest hour,” Traci Abramson recalled.

Tech research park plans updated at BOS » By TRACY BELL
tbell@Insidenova.com
The Stafford County Board of Supervisors heard a presentation Tuesday about the latest plans for a technology and research park initiative that has been on the horizon for years. Proponents of the tech and research park are seeking $500,000 from the Stafford Opportunity Fund in fiscal 2016 to set the project in motion and hire a director. One of the goals for the project is to create 5,000 new high-tech jobs in the county. The board first expressed an interest in creating a technology and research park in 2010, and since then facilitated a land swap, a redevelopment plan and worked with the Association of University of Research Parks. The board also worked with local colleges on a memorandum of understanding to explore collaborative opportunities, including academic services, research, and economic development at and near Marine Corps Base Quantico. The board also agreed to purchase land in the Boswell’s Corner area of the county. The next step includes creating a business accelerator and co-working space to accommodate new smallbusiness entrepreneurs and hiring a full-time executive director to advance the tech park’s business attraction goals. As the project goes forward, the
potential allocation would allow the tech park’s board of directors to lease more space at Quantico Corporate Center and hire staff. Also at the meeting, the board: * heard from Stafford’s Deputy County Administrator Keith Dayton about the Jeff Rouse Swim and Sport Center. Dayton said that roughly half of the 76,000-square-foot building opened Monday, including the athletic section, classrooms and a wellness pool. Full food service should be ready this week, he said, and the rest of the building and pools, including a 50-meter competition pool, should be operational no later than May 23. Exterior work on the building should be completed by May 13, he added. The center will offer yoga, cycling, group exercise classes, swimming and lifeguarding classes, league play, and children’s programs and services. It will also hold camps and clinics, and offer a J-Club kids’ area. * recognized two community members for their service. The board recognized local author and historian Al Conner for his many contributions to preserving Stafford County’s history. Board members also recognized Rick Hurley, president of the University of Mary Washington, for his service. Hurley has served as UMW president since 2010 and is set to retire at the end of June.

passport or works for a government agency that issues official picture identification. Earlier legislation allowed utility bills and other common-sense documents to be used to show proof of residence. But this provision was repealed. While the registrars can issue special IDs for voting, that requires a trip to the county building. For many who don’t have driver’s license, that’s an insurmountable problem. All of this may sound arcane, but there is more to the story than that. We have our history to overcome. In 1965 Virginia was 49th state in the nation when it came to voter participation. Mississippi was 50th. Virginia, ever since the infamous 1901 constitution that disenfranchised blacks and applied the poll tax, made it a point of policy to find as many ways as possible to keep voter participation rates low. And it worked. But times changed. Virginia got a new constitution, registrars got out into the community to register voters and with motor voter legislation the number of registered voters went up dramatically. Unfortunately, we seem to have entered an era of retrenchment, where measures -dreamed up on the most dubious of justifications -- have only one purpose, and that’s to keep people from voting. After so much progress, after working so hard for the cause of popular participation in the political process and representative government, that’s a shameful thing to do.

In good hands Mountain View’s Alex Smith handles pitch calling duties with poise David Stegon »ForByInsideNoVa
A
s a baseball recruit to the U.S. Naval Academy, Mountain View High catcher Alex Smith faces a college career filled with discipline, hard work and demanding leaders, but in some ways that may be easier than his time at high school. Mountain View coach Craig Lopez halfheartedly jokes that he struggles to give players responsibility at times, preferring to handle the mental parts of the game from the dugout. That began to change two years ago when Lopez started to hand over pitch-calling duties to his then-sophomore backstop. “It started slowly, maybe calling a few batters at a time, and grew from there,” Smith said. “I know the hitters and can get a sense of how our pitchers are doing, so can make decisions based on what I’m seeing. I don’t always make the right call; but since I’m in the game, I can react to what is happening.”
As Lopez, a former minor-league pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles, said about his decision to let Smith call pitches, “There is no better compliment I can give a player.” There is plenty of work that goes into calling a game beyond just signaling for a fastball. Smith works with the team’s coaches, studying hitting charts of opposing players and coming up with a game plan to attack each batter. Mountain View is 12-3 this season and recently started conference play. Smith serves as the anchor of a talent roster, controlling the game from behind the plate, but also hitting third in the Wildcats’ order. With a .404 average that includes four home runs, Smith affects the game with his bat as well as his glove. He tries to model his game after San Francisco Giants’ catcher Buster Posey and enjoys the passion Washington Nationals’ outfielder Bryce Harper brings to the game. Next year he’ll join Colonial Forge catcher Gabe Schilke, who committed to the Naval Academy as well. For some high school seniors, the thought of attending a
Mountain View senior catcher Alex Smith is hitting .404 this season with four homers.
military service academy could be seen as intimidating, but for Smith it is following in the family business. Smith’s father served 23 years active duty in the Navy before retiring as a commander. He is also a Naval Academy graduate, so Smith knows a little of what to expect. “I’m a coach’s kid and am used to constructive criticism – I like to think I take stuff well,” Smith said. “I try not to let emotions get the best of me, and I’m ready

to take on the challenge.” Lopez was quick with praise as well, calling Smith “a phenomenal young man” and a “great leader” for his team. “He’s not going to step down from any challenge,” Lopez said. “He has become more vocal for us on the field, really controlling how we play. He takes his role seriously and has been a true pleasure to coach.” Dave Stegon can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

North Stafford grad in fourth year as Colonials baseball coach » By David Driver
T
For Insidenova
he Revolutionary Rivalry in college sports between George Mason and George Washington takes on a different meaning for Gregg Ritchie, the long-time Stafford resident and North Stafford High School graduate. Ritchie is a former baseball standout at GW and is in his fourth season as the head coach for the Colonials. His wife, Kelly, took part in crew at GW. But two of their children have attended George Mason and one of them, Logan, was on the wrestling team for part of his time in Fairfax. So one can understand the added significance when GW hosted George Mason for a three-game series at Barcroft Park in Arlington from April 15-17. “I have to see that green and yellow stuff when I go home,” Ritchie said with a laugh. The Colonials swept the three-game series by a combined score of 24-7. GW won the first game of the series April 15 by a score of 1-0 as Cody Bryant had an RBI double in the sixth to drive in the only run of the game. Senior pitcher Bobby LeWarne pitched six scoreless innings in the win for GW. One of the bright spots this year for GW is junior infielder Bobby Campbell, who scored the only run in the win against Mason. He is from Maryland and played at St. John’s High in Washington, D.C., and on April 18 was named the Atlantic 10 Player of the Week. “He is a baseball player; he just plays baseball,” said Ritchie, a former minor leaguer and

a one-time hitting coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates. “He hit in the three hole (in the lineup) as a freshman. He knows how to get it done. He has a little pop in his bat.” The Colonials won the second game of the series, 14-4, over Mason as left fielder Mark Osis had three hits and drove in two runs, and sophomore catcher Brandon Chapman had two hits and drove in five runs, thanks to his first homer of the season. Chapman is from Sarasota, Florida, a baseball hotbed that also produced former Washington Nationals’ shortstop Ian Desmond. “He has caught 90 percent of the games. He has good strength,” Ritchie said of Chapman. “He is good back of the plate. He can really block the ball. His development will be steady.” GW won the third game 9-3 as Luke Olson,

MARY WASHINGTON COACH WINS NO. 600 The Mary Washington baseball team beat York (Pennsylvania) College 21-9 on April 16
as senior James Keller (Colonial Forge) had four hits in four at-bats with five runs scored and four RBIs as he hit for the cycle, as coach Wayne Riser won his 600th career game. David Slupek (Mountain View) had three hits and drove in five runs for the Eagles. Keller hit his 11th homer in the second game of the doubleheader in a loss to York to set a school record. Keller hit .400 this year and led the team in RBIs with 50, while Slupek drove in 31 runs as Mary Washington ended the season 24-15 overall. Keller recently signed a pro contract with Shaumburg of the independent Frontier League. “James is the second UMW player in as many years to reach the next level," said UMW head coach Wayne Riser in a statement. “I speak for the entire UMW baseball family wishing James much luck, and we are very proud of him and his efforts. He has earned this opportunity through his work ethic and continual improvement as a player.”
EZEAGWU SHINES IN SPRING GAME Junior linebacker David Ezeagwu (Colonial Forge High) had two sacks for the Purple (defense) in a 58-39 win over the White (offense) in the spring game for James Madison University football on April 16 in Harrisonburg. The purple was paced by redshirt senior linebacker Gage Steele, who had a game-high 14 tackles. David Driver can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

CONFERENCE 15
who went to Georgetown Prep in Maryland, threw eight innings of scoreless relief. The Colonials improved to 16-21 overall and 6-3 in the conference, while Mason fell to 10-26, 2-10. Out of the bullpen, the Colonials have relied on reliever Eddie Muhl, who got his ninth save of the season against George Mason. Two possible draft picks in the future include sophomore pitcher Brady Renner and junior Kevin Mahala, who plays shortstop and can also pitch. Mahala hit .282 in his first 35 games (all starts) this year while Renner was 0-0 with an ERA of 4.09 in his first five outings, with four starts. Renner would be eligible to be drafted as a junior next year, while Mahala is eligible this June. “Kevin has good range. He may have a shot at getting drafted. He has a plus arm and can throw 91 (miles per hour) off the mound,” Ritchie said. “Brady has a plus arm. He has a good package, but he has not been able to stay healthy.” GW has a conference series May 6-8 at Fordham in New York. The Colonials have been hampered this season by injuries, especially to pitchers. “We have been battling since day one. We just have a lack of depth,” said Ritchie, who added this is the best offensive team he has had in four years. GW fell to 20-25 overall and 9-6 in the Atlantic 10 with an 8-7 loss in 13 innings to Virginia Commonwealth on April 30.

FROM PAGE 1
Poole Middle School. His activities range from sports to lead roles in plays. While sitting on the couch at his home, he reflected on his mother’s life, her example and her influence. Looking back on that night, he said he made the decision to stop and help others because it is what his Mom would want him to do. “She would always help people,” Gabriel said. “She’s gone, so more people have to do service to make up for that.” Gabriel is constantly finding ways to serve others, in hopes his mother is proudly watching over him. He said he always asks himself, “What would Mom want me to do?” He always knows the answer: Love others – no matter how hard it is. Identifying ways he watched his mother serve others was simple. From genealogical work to helping students, she
served others until her final days. He recalls his mother doing genealogical work for more than 1,200 people. She was a teacher of emotionally disturbed children at Stafford Middle School. Her motto was that she “had to love her students in order to teach them.” Gabriel recalled the days his mother was extremely ill and tired, yet she still found ways to serve. She would make sock monkeys, scarves and hats for the families of those fighting Stage four breast cancer. One day, she turned to Gabriel and said, “OK, it’s time to box everything [that needed to be sent out].” He thought, “You should be asleep, not trying to work.” Yet, the two packaged all the goodies and ensured they were sent out to others in need. finding peace and comfort Gabriel was 6 months old when his father, McCormick “Mac” Cummings, died.
Sometimes others will say, “You have no Dad or Mom. That kinda sucks.” Although Gabriel doesn’t remember his father, he believes they have a spiritual connection. “I can feel him inspiring me to do certain things,” Gabriel said. He feels the same way about his mother. “Yea, it sucks that she’s gone and she left her family. But, at the same time, she’s with her husband and the rest of her family,” he said. Gabriel is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and believes families can be together forever. After death he will see his mother and father again. He has no doubt they are watching over him. Although a lot of people expect him to be depressed about his mother’s death, he finds comfort in knowing, “She’s in a better place, and she’s not suffering with cancer anymore.” Gabriel wears an armband that says “Survivor,” in honor of cancer survivors. He said although his mother did not survive, he does believe she is a “fighter.” One way he hopes to make his mother and father proud is graduating with an associate’s degree from high school via an Early Scholarship

investigation is ongoing. Fallon, who led the Griffis-Widewater district on the school board, notified board members Friday about her resignation and then posted a Facebook message about her decision. She said in the post that her abrupt resignation was due to medical concerns that will require ongoing treatment. Her resignation was effective Saturday. “…I have always tried to put the interests of our kids and our schools first, but for now my health must come first,” Fallon said in the post. She did not elaborate on the health issues mentioned. Fallon said she wished the school board and Superintendent Bruce Benson all the best in their continued efforts to improve education for the children of Stafford County. “…Thank you to the many friends and supporters who have reached out to me during this challenging time,” she wrote. “Your love and well-wishes mean more to me than you can ever know.” According to court records, Fallon is accused of embezzling more than $23,000, transferring PTO funds onto her husband’s American Express credit card and conducting objectionable ATM cash and check transactions. Fallon disputes the accusations and

Program. He would like to study technology because he loves computers. He wants to go to college and to serve a religious mission in the Pacific Islands, where he has family origins. carrying on mom’s memory Traci Abramson and her husband, Jonathon, have legal custody of Gabriel, who began living with them seven weeks before Rebecca died. They could not be more proud of Gabriel. Traci Abramson described Rebecca as “someone with a huge heart,” and his father as someone “who would literally give the shirt or jacket off his own back. His Mom was very much like that, as well. Gabe’s that way.” Traci Abramson has watched Gabriel grow immensely over the past year and believes he’s doing “phenomenally well.” If Rebecca were here, “I have no doubt she’d be proud of the young man he’s becoming,” she said. As a mother of four, Traci Abramson knows firsthand the desire of many mothers. “As any mother looks at their child, they want them to find themselves, they want them to find what truly makes them happy, and they want them to be a contributing member of society.” chalks them up to poor bookkeeping, calling her actions unintentional. Last year, Fallon prevailed in the November election over the Griffis-Widewater incumbent, Dana Reinboldt. Fallon won in each of the precincts, raking in 1,247 votes to Reinboldt’s 960 votes, or 55.99 percent of ballots cast. Going forward, the school board will need to appoint a replacement school board member within 45 days, according to Virginia Code, or the county’s circuit court will appoint someone after 45 days. A special election would then be held to determine who will finish out Fallon’s term. At a Stafford County Board of Supervisors’ meeting Tuesday, Supervisor Jack Cavalier, R-Griffis-Widewater, said of Fallon’s position on the school board: “I’m hopeful that the position will be filled in the most expedient manner possible so that we have representation from the school board from my district.” Before serving on the school board, Fallon served three terms as president of Moncure’s PTO. She previously worked as a paraprofessional in Washington, D.C.’s public schools and as a substitute teacher in Stafford schools. Fallon has also served on numerous boards and committees within the community. The school board planned to meet Thursday of this week to discuss Fallon’s replacement.
