he Stafford County School Board agreed Tuesday to a $588,000 fouryear contract with Ricoh USA of Chicago for copier services beginning in fiscal 2017. The initial proposed contract was for $650,000. A competing Xerox representative attended four school board meetings this spring urging the board to consider using Xerox, which produced the lowest bid. Stafford County Public Schools used Ricoh for the past 10 years and has used Xerox in the past. School board members did not choose Xerox, but thanked its representative for saving the schools $250,000 over four years based on its lower bid and for providing information that helped the board save money.

Native Voices exhibit opens The Central Rappahannock Regional Library will host an opening reception for the Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness exhibition at 7- 8 p.m., Tuesday, July 26, at the headquarters library, 1201 Caroline St., Fredericksburg. Special guests John Lightner, chief of the Patawomeck tribe, and Yvonne Epps–Giddings, a medical professional working with Native American communities, will attend the exhibition opening, according to a news release. Lighter will offer opening remarks about the tribe that is based in Stafford County. The Patawomeck is one of 11 tribes recognized in the state. About 80 percent of the 1,500 tribal members live within 10 miles of their historic village of Patawomeck. Yvonne Epps-Giddings, a nurse with the Indian Health Service, will speak on the unique, interconnected relationships of health, illness and
cultural life for Native Americans. Epps-Giddings is completing her Doctor of Public Health degree. Though she lives on a reservation in western Arizona, she is a Virginia native and a member of the neighboring Nottoway tribe. The Native Voices interactive exhibition, at the library July 20-Aug. 31, explores the unique, interconnected relationships of health, illness and cultural life for Native Americans, Alaska natives and native Hawaiians. Through interviews, native people describe the impact of epidemics, federal legislation, the loss of land and the inhibition of culture on the health of native individuals and communities today. The U.S. National Library of Medicine developed and produced “Native Voices: Native Peoples’ Concepts of Health and Illness.” The American Library Association Public Programs Office, in partnership with NLM, tours the exhibition to libraries.

Gold: Heroes come in all sizes It seems to me … we have plenty of leaders but no leadership. And we have plenty of heroes but they are almost obscured by HARVEY GOLD the politicians, dissidents and nutcases that make the headlines. Case in point is a hero’s hero, Lt. Col. Charles Kettles, a helicopter pilot extraordinaire who flew in Vietnam. He didn’t make the same front page headline criminals have been getting because, I guess, he didn’t kill anyone. To the contrary, he only saved people-- 44 soldiers to be exact. And although his unbelievable acts of bravery took place in 1967, it took just short of 50 years for his magnificent courage and unselfish actions to be awarded the Medal of Honor by the country he defended. Colonel Kettles had already received the Distinguished Service Cross for his saving soldiers who were pinned down near Duc Pho in May of 1967. Returning more than once and under severe fire, he brought the men who were pinned down back to safety. Heroes like Kettles occur more than is reported in the press. They perform heroic actions on the battlefield, around the world and here at home. They all don’t wear camouflage, or are in combat. Some don’t fight at all: doctors, nurses, first responders and all those that took the pledge to help others by providing safety from some enemy or from a disaster.
Most go unnoticed and when they write the history of the world their name probably won’t appear --but their actions make it possible for others to succeed in safety. Today we are faced with great controversy in our nation. Our police are coming under attack and criticism. Broad brush accusations make it sound like we are under Marshall Law. This unfortunate picture has made it appear that the barrel is full of mainly bad apples. How sad and tragic this is because I believe the overwhelming majority of police are decent human beings. I don’t believe they are different from any other profession, as we’ve seen by bad apples in industry, medicine, educators, investors and even politicians. And our corporations continue to function, the medical field continues to cure, teachers educate and politicians continue to run the country. What makes the police different is, like Kettles, they must perform with the risk of and in the face of danger, 24/7. Other first responders often are in dangerous situations, but they don’t generally face a knife, handgun or a Rambo-like weapon. In the past few days in Stafford a teenager killed a motorcyclist on Route 3 while being chased by police and driving in the wrong direction. Chasing a speeding villain on the wrong side of the road is dangerous itself but having to deal with the driver of a stolen vehicle who may be armed is not your usual 9-to-5 job. This may not happen on a daily basis in Stafford County but the possibility is there
every day. We rely on the police when we are in trouble or in danger from a situation or a person. When our lives are threatened, we call them for help and they respond and enter into harm’s way. It may result in wrestling someone to the ground or looking down the barrel of a gun. They never know what they will face until the situation unfolds, and they must react instantly. Indeed, they are trained to react appropriately, but the rule book doesn’t always contain the situation they are in. Unfortunately, there have been some instances where it was questionable about how an officer acted, and the law they have sworn to uphold needs to judge them. But the thousands of police officers who protect us from bad people and sometimes from ourselves shouldn’t be condemned. There are many heroes among them and we should recognize them every day. It is ironic that many are asking the police to take more time to get to know the people they protect. But, how many citizens take the time to get to know the police? How many have invited them to their business, their house of worship or their school --not for them to lecture but to just get to know them? Heroes come in all sizes, shapes, color, ethnicity, sex and age. When we are in trouble we don’t care what the policeman or woman looks like, we just want them to stand between us and danger, because that is what heroes do.

She had described the problem and some possible solutions. With all this information that she told me, I believe my tomato plant is on the way to recovery and is somewhat producing red and orange fruit, and the stems are now strong again. I have been brushing the leaves with a small hairbrush or a small broom to move what pollen is on its leaves since
there are not too many bees around pollinating. I have to say thank you very much for having me understand the problem and helping me take some action. I am very thankful to have a friend who I can e-mail and ask. Thank you very much, Anna Victoria Reich , North Stafford
LETTER TO THE EDITOR I felt that I needed some help in solving a plant problem with my tomato plant and its leaves. Why were they the leaves turning yellow and so crunched up? This started from the bottom of the plant and moving up the plant. I then took some of the yellowing leaves into the Virginia Extension Office at the Rowser Building and saw Gwen Pote.

Junior deputies check out the Sheriff’s Office For the past two weeks selected elementary and middle school students joined the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office Junior Deputy program at the Public Safety Center. There were 39 elementary students from grades three and four at the course last week. The past week was a chance for middle school students to learn about law enforcement. During the week-long session they studied self-defense along with traffic safety and crime prevention. They even went on a field trip to the Department of Forensic Sciences in Manassas. The students also got a chance to learn some of the procedures used by detectives to solve crimes. Groups of junior deputies were presented with a crime scene and had to gather evidence to solve the crime. School guidance counselors selected the students for this third year of the program, which is coordinated by the Juvenile Services Department and led by student resource officers. A $5,000 grant from the attorney general’s office helped fund the program.

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT
Send your student off to college with the right technology Soon, some of last month’s high school graduates will have those excited yet fearful knots in their bellies as they head off to colleges and MARK STOUT universities. The days of sending them off with a manual typewriter are long gone. A tradition of this column is to consider what we should equip these new freshmen with before they go. It seems this year the picture is clearer than in past years. I think a student needs primarily three devices. Foremost is a laptop. A laptop to today’s young person, and I don’t really need to tell any parent this, is their window to learning and also to entertainment. They will use it to research and write papers, interact with their professors and coursework through sites like Blackboard, and use a variety of online services and software needed for classes. And they will use it to watch videos on Netflix, Hulu and network television websites. Many students will not want
to haul a TV to a dorm, content with a laptop. The risk of losing or breaking a laptop that is carried from dorm to classes and back again is great. I do not believe most students need a high-end laptop. There are students who need a high-performance laptop if they need to edit video, run high-end architectural computerassisted design software or some kinds of application development. For most, their computing needs will be mostly online research, email and writing papers. A basic under-$500 laptop will meet their needs. And by not spending a great deal, the financial pain of replacing a lost or damaged laptop is lessened. And if a higher-performance laptop is needed in later years of school, the lowerpower laptop makes an effective backup system if needed. If you go Macintosh, the Apple store will advise you. They’ll probably aim a student at a Macbook Air. When shopping for a low-end Windows laptop, I find it is best to not get the lowest-priced one as much as I would avoid the higher-priced models. Get
something with two or more times the memory Windows 10 needs. So a laptop with four gigabytes of memory is a good start. It will run faster. Hard-drive space is important. You do not want your student deleting something old to make space for a new project, only to wish later they still had it. Research done for one project, might be a good start for a later project. Battery life is important for some students. Laptops are used in classrooms, libraries and other places where power might not be easily accessible. And finally, processor speed is important. The newest, fastest processors can cost more by themselves than an entire reasonably priced laptop, so don’t feel you need the latest and greatest. The older processors are a better value. It is a balancing act. Look for quality, price, memory, processor, storage and battery. There is no right or wrong answer. Some students may prefer a Microsoft Surface-type PC. These are tablets with an optional keyboard that runs Windows 10. While their portability is nice if your student prefers to type in bed, Surface THEME: 1980s Movies

types do not work as well as typing with them on a hard desk. While many assignments can be handed in online, some professors still require hard copy. Schools have printers available, but students tell me it can be difficult to find a working and available one. Having their own wireless printer in their room makes their life easier and is my second suggested piece of hardware. The last piece of hardware needed is of course a smart phone. Not only is this a student’s primary way to communicate, it is now an integral part of their social life. In the classroom, its camera can scan documents, record white boards, help gather experimental data and a host of other uses. Phones are their alarm clocks, timers, audio recorders, music players, video cameras, video players and hundreds of other functions.

Mountain View grad set record last season as goalie » By DAVID DRIVER For Insidenova
The Mary Washington men’s soccer team should have a strong Stafford presence when the Eagles begin practice Aug. 20 in Fredericksburg. The returning goalie is Matt Spencer, a rising junior from Mountain View High School, while one of his key defenders is Christian Trout, a rising senior who also graduated from Mountain View. “Christian is a great leader by example,” Spencer said. “He might not be the strongest verbal leader but he sets the tone for the game. Everyone looks up to him. He transferred from Virginia Tech. We all look up to him. He is one of our strongest players.” Spencer played in eight games, with six starts, as a freshman in 2014 for the Eagles and had 10 saves that year against Dickinson. Last year Spencer was 12-5-2 as the sophomore goalie for the Eagles, who were 12-6-2 overall. The backup goalie for Mary Washington last season was Curran Smolinsky, a rising junior from Stafford High who is also expected back this year for head coach Jason Kilby. “He is a great coach,” said Spencer, a business administration major with a
minor in sports management. “He really pushes you to do your best.” Mary Washington opens the season Sept. 2 at home against Averett of Danville. “We have three of our four defensive players returning,” Spencer said. “I think we have a good chance of winning the conference.” One key player the Eagles will have to replace is Mike Bennett, who was a senior midfielder last season. The Mary Washington goalie was born in North Carolina and lived in Stafford when he was young. The family moved to Arizona, where he began playing organized soccer. Spencer’s father was a gymnast at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado and flew fighter jets for 25 years in the Air Force. Spencer has two sisters, Megan and Mikaela. Spencer attended high school as a freshman in Arizona. The family moved back to Stafford in time for him to enter Mountain View as a sophomore. He played for Prince William Soccer Institution (PWSI) while in high school and at Mountain View, and was the district player of the year and a first-team all-state player in soccer.
Spencer was first team all-state, region, area and district as a senior. While in high school he considered attending Christopher Newport, Lynchburg and Virginia Wesleyan before deciding to stay home and play at Mary Washington. He is playing soccer this summer for the Fredericksburg Football Club, a team that plays home games at Mary Washington. Their league began playoffs on July 16. Other Mountain View High grads who played college soccer last year include Billy Decker, who was at Division II Newberry in South Carolina. Decker is listed as junior defender this year on the pre-season roster of Newberry, which begins the season Sept. 1 at Georgia Southwestern. His team will play at Division I Longwood in Farmville on Sept. 10. Decker played in 14 games, with 12 starts, last year as Newberry was 3-13 overall. The Eagles open the season Sept. 2 at Houghton of New York.

Local grad part of largest maritime warfare exercise By Navy Office of Community Outreach A 2010 Mountain View High School graduate and Stafford native is serving in the U.S. Navy and is participating in the world’s largest international maritime warfare exercise, the Rim of the Pacific Exercise. Lt. j.g. Zach Bessette is the electrical officer aboard USS Shoup, currently operating out of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. A Navy electrical officer is responsible for ensuring that power is maintained throughout the ship, and that the lights stay on and all outlets work. “I look forward to working with the other ships during RIMPAC," said Bessette. "It is a rare chance to work with this many ships." According to Navy officials, RIMPAC provides a unique training opportunity that helps participants foster and sustain cooperative relationships that are critical to ensuring the safety of sea lanes and security on the world's oceans. RIMPAC 2016 is the 25th exercise in the series that began in 1971. The theme of RIMPAC 2016 is "Capable, Adaptive, Partners," Navy officials said. The participating nations and forces will exercise a wide range of capabilities and demonstrate the inherent flexibility of maritime forces. These capabilities range from disaster relief and maritime security operations to sea control and complex warfighting. The relevant, realistic training program includes amphibious operations, gunnery, missile, antisubmarine and air defense exercises, as well as counter-piracy, mine clearance operations, explosive ordnance disposal, and diving and salvage operations. The Department of the Navy's Great Green Fleet yearlong initiative will also play a major role in RIMPAC. The initiative highlights global operations using energy conservation measures and alternative fuel blends to demonstrate how optimizing energy use increases resiliency and operational readiness. During RIMPAC, almost all participating units will operate using an approved alternatefuel blend. A total of 26 nations, 45 surface ships,

five submarines, more than 200 aircraft and 25,000 personnel will participate in the biennial exercise. This year's exercise includes forces from Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, People's Republic of China, Peru, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Tonga, the United Kingdom and the United States. “Shoup sailors are taking part in RIMPAC 2016 and the missions they will be planning and executing are nothing short of awesome," said Cmdr. Jason E. Rogers, commanding officer of USS Shoup. "As captain, USS Shoup and the warfighting functions it is responsible for represent my domain. Fortunately, I am blessed with the talent and warrior spirit of 300plus sailors who strive to exercise professional mastery and control over each and every one of those domains. Our sailors constantly challenge themselves and each other to know and do more.” “I like working with the crew aboard the ship and having the opportunity to make their work shine,” said Bessette. Challenging living conditions build strong fellowship among the crew, Bessette said. The crew is highly motivated, and quickly adapt to changing conditions. It is a busy life of specialized work, watches and drills. “While serving in the Navy, I've learned the amount of work I can keep up with, how much stress I can handle and how little sleep I need to keep going,” said Bessette.
