Violent crimes on rise

he number of violent crimes in both Stafford and Prince William counties ticked up slightly in 2015, while the number of property crimes in each county dropped, according to the latest data from the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting program. In a report released Tuesday, the agency’s data shows Stafford experienced a 8.3 percent increase in violent crimes (which include murders, non-negligent manslaughters, rapes, robberies and aggravated assaults) from the year before. Meanwhile, Prince William saw an 1.8 percent increase from 2014’s numbers. Yet both counties also benefited from a drop in property crimes like burglary, arson and motor vehicle theft — the number of those incidents in Prince William dropped 5.7 percent from 2014, while there was a 14.5 percent decrease in Stafford. The FBI’s data suggests that the trends within in each both counties largely mirror nationwide patterns. The agency recorded a 3.9 percent increase in violent crimes across the country from 2014, while it also noticed a 2.6 percent drop in property crimes nationwide. The bureau also reported seeing a 10.8 percent jump in the number of murders and nonnegligent manslaughters nationwide (the 15,696 incidents it recorded are the most the agency’s recorded in a calenCRIME dar year since 2008) and the PAGE 13

Gym back in Moncure school plan TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
The Stafford County School Board met Tuesday and reconsidered an earlier decision about a funding strategy for the Moncure Elementary School rebuild. The initial decision, made at a Sept. 13 school board meeting, centered
on specifically how the schools system will spend money to rebuild the school. On Tuesday, the board unanimously agreed to adjust the earlier decision, putting a previously-discussed gymnasium back into the game plan. The community would also have access to the gym, according to the plan.
School board member Irene Egan, Aquia District, said that the new agreement means the board agrees to a continued 25 percent reduction in collaborative space, but adds the community-accessible gymnasium, reduces the Capital PLAN Improvement Plan’s PAGE 13 borrow for the overall

It seems to me … the current public unrest is nothing new in the history of our country. Even a brief review of our HARVEY GOLD nation’s history reminds us that one group or another has demonstrated over a variety of issues, including taxes, whiskey, right to vote, slavery, right to work and a host of other country-dividing differences. Much has been written about the many divisive issues our country has faced, but none is more poignant than what I recently read in Burstein and Isenberg’ book “Madison and Jefferson.” They point out that during George Washington’s administration, having just freed ourselves from England, there were those, including Alexander Hamilton, who wanted to continue a strong tie with the English and those, including Madison and Jefferson, who were very strongly opposed and believed that France, who came to our aid in the Revolutionary War, should be our ally. Making that more complex was that France and England were at odds with each other. Some wanted peace and harmony in the country and they circulated copies of Joseph Addison’s writing about “Party Spirit,” which he wrote in the Spectator in London in 1711 and was still popular in the 1790s in the young U.S. Addison wrote: “There cannot a greater judgement befall a country than such a dreadful spirit of division as rends a government into two distinct people, and makes them greater strangers and averse to one another, than if they were
actually two different nations. The effects of such a division are pernicious to the last degree…fatal both to men’s morals and their understandings; it sinks the virtue of a nation, and not only so, but destroys even common sense.” He goes on to say, “A furious partyspirit, when it rages in its full violence, exerts itself in civil war and bloodshed; and when it is under its greatest restraints, naturally breaks out in falsehood, detraction, calumny, and a partial administration of justice. In a word, it fills a nation with spleen and rancour, and extinguishes all the seeds of good nature, compassion and humanity.” Could this not be said of today’s environment? In spite of all the social, religious, ethnic, sexual orientation and many other advancements our country has made, we still invent new reasons for divisiveness. Often we don’t listen to others calling out for help, justice and equality. We don’t reason with each other, but instead we choose sides and draw lines in the sand. We break down instead of building up, but in the end we mostly agree to some sort of solution to end the arguing. In the interim we have wasted lives, time, energy, vast sums of money, and form deep scars that seem to fester in some fashion. Need I mention the Civil War? There is no doubt that in our country today there is a “dreadful spirit of division” and it has divided us into two distinct people; the Republicans and Democrats, the haves and the have-nots, the religiously tolerant and the intolerant, the angry and the complacent, those who see change as necessary and those satisfied with retaining the same
old ways and, of course our Congress and, of course, Clinton and Trump. We don’t talk about our differences to seek solutions. Instead we use our social and other media to continue the arguments often built on misunderstanding, falsehood, disparagement and slander. It is not only among the citizens across our nation, it is in our governments themselves from cities, counties, states and our federal government. How can this happen? Did we forget the past issues that created turmoil that our country overcame but with great losses? Is our collective memory so short? We seem to remember football scores from games long past and the words to songs that we no longer sing. But we seem to have forgotten the relatively recent troubles during the fight for civil rights in the last decade? In 1955, Pete Seeger wrote a haunting political song that raises this question of collective loss of memory. The song is considered a classic and asks the question, “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?” You may remember the rendition by Peter, Paul and Mary that was sung by many in 1962. The refrain “Oh, when will they ever learn? Oh, when will they ever learn?” can be applied today as well among ourselves and our local to federal leaders regarding issues like social justice, the economy, our nation’s infrastructure and the environment, It’s not a matter of “kumbaya.” It is the question our country must ask itself or we will continue to live with divisiveness. And, perhaps one day, the blue-eyed people will raise differences with the brown-eyed people. When will we ever learn? I wonder if Hillary and Donald are thinking about this?

COMMENTS ON INSIDENOVA.COM Editor’s note: Our Facebook readers had a few opinions on the Prince William County School Board’s decision to wait until the courts rule about discrimination on sexual orientation or gender identity. James Saint-Franc: Shame on the fear mongering employed by Delegate Bob Marshall and other religious zealots in that school board meeting. Props to Ryan Sawyers for voting no to delay that motion. LGBTQ+ students and employees deserve to be protected against discrimination immediately. Joanna Terry Holland: Every student in Prince William County deserves to be protected at all times, in every way. Katie Sebeckis: I can’t believe this is even a valid argument. All children deserved to be treated equally. This is upsetting knowing I live in a county that is arguing about this. Jerry Massey: It’s ridiculous to even think this is an important discussion. Boys should use the boys bathroom and girls should use the girls bathroom. How hard is that to comprehend? I guess some have been programmed by the left-wing extremists in office that it’s OK for a little girl to be using the same bathroom at the same time as a grown man and vice versa. What’s wrong with you people? Are you even American? Can you not think for yourselves? Rhonda Gasser Atkinson: A big thank you to all those who came to the meeting and spoke up for common sense. There are already anti-bullying policies in place to protect ALL students. Those who are under

the delusion will that they are something other that the biological sex they were at birth need counseling and compassion. Enabling their delusion does not help anyone and only confuses children who are not experiencing such problems. The issue is mental illness, not a new category for anti-discrimination. Just put me in the basket with the other deplorable religious zealots. Alicia Hillmer: Keeping EVERYONE else safe is not discrimination. This is ridiculous. Fonda Dee Howell-Matters: So ridiculous leave it alone let the bathrooms stay the way it’s always been !!! Very simple Shannon Daugherty: I think the whole thing is ridiculous! If you are having a “Gender” identity issue that is something you need to deal with yourself and not have to involve everyone else with your issue! It may be 2016 but why should my child have to be exposed to these perversions! When you are in the public schools or any other public setting you go by what you were born with!! Why should everyone have to change because of whatever you are feeling?? I never had this in my high school!! If they had a “Gender” issue it was because they were gay!! Really people!! We need to stand up for the rights of children that don’t have an identity issue!! Ryan St Louis: I think it’s wise for municipal governments to wait on the Supreme Court decision. They certainly don’t need to spend time deciding on something that the court might reverse. EDUCATION

Additionally, I don’t think that telling kids not to bully the girl who dresses and or thinks she should be a boy is subjecting anyone else’s kids to any perversion. People out in the world are different from each other and at some point our kids are going to have to learn how to deal with that. But pushing further into the issue, I think most of us agree that people with boy parts should not change clothes in rooms with people with girl parts. If someone feels uncomfortable in the locker room, schools have had a process in place to address the issue for a long time. Bill Campbell: There are many more bigger issues the board should tackle. Stop the sideshow antics and get on with educating our children. Maria Ursano Lawson: I am not opposed to the change however I do agree with them delaying the vote. Brentsville did not have a representative on the board at the time of this meeting and voting on anything that affects the entire county without the entire county being represented is not okay. The board also has to consider the cost of potential legal action that could result from any changes made. There are already legal proceedings related to similar changes in other counties. Letting the other counties foot the bill so that there is case law in Virginia on record that could be used as a reference point in Prince William the fiscally responsible thing to do for the country residents as a whole.

Therein lies the great benefit, and the profound risk of online life. The 8-year-old can communicate with

How do you teach a child that not everyone is good, not everyone is really 8 when they say they are, and the other cautions they need to learn sooner than later?

also have resources on how to stop cyberbullying, how to prevent sexting and how to recognize when your child is being groomed by a predator. Cyberbullying is especially worrying. It used to be your child could only be bullied in the presence of the bully: at school. The home was a safe place from bullying, and after school hours could be peaceful respites from bullying. With cyber bullying, the bullying can follow the child into the home, and long into the evening. It is best to require that electronic devices not be in the bedroom at night, so that a young person is not tempted to monitor online conversations among their group late into the night to see what people are saying about them. For a phone or tablet, it is a simple matter to make them surrender the devices at bedtime. But what if they have a computer in their bedroom, say a desktop, that can’t be moved. Your wireless router should have settings to let you block particular devices during specified hours. Check with your ISP to see how to set that up.

For example “Great Danes are lovers not fighters and amuse me.” That long phrase is not the password, instead you use the first letter from each word. So your password becomes “gdalnfaam.” That is a fairly strong password as it is not a word or phrase that might be deduced. Many password systems require a special character and number to be part of the password. You could choose to replace a specific letter with a special character. Perhaps all Ss become $. Or all As become @. Then that password becomes “gdainf@@m”. You can append a number at the beginning, end or elsewhere in the password. Maybe the person’s age or street address, something they will remember. So your password can become a very strong “gdainf@@m900” All the user has to retain is the sentence, the letter to replace with a symbol and the number. Special attention should also be paid to articles on Facebook security. How much of your private information you do not mind your friends seeing on the public portion of your profile is available online? Spend some time reading up about this and choosing your security settings carefully. It used to be that making our child street smart was enough before they ventured out into the world. Today, our child needs cyber smarts before they go into the online world. There are many benefits of being online — school research, social life and exploring the real world virtually — and we cannot realistically ban them from online adventures. We can make it safer for all of us. For links mentioned in the column or to share this column online, go to familytechonline.com. For Mark’s contact information, visit markstout.info on the web.

Artists’ deadline extended for armed services memorial The county is still searching for an artist to create a specific detail on its Stafford Armed Services Memorial and a previous deadline for artist applicants has been extended to find the right fit. The commission amended its prior call for an artist to create a special graphic-art design that will be engraved on the memorial wall — a focal point of the memorial, extending the deadline to Oct. 31 at 8 p.m. Interested artists will create an original design that represents the five branches of the military (Army, Navy Marine Corps, Coast Guard and Air Force) from the Revolutionary War to present day. The artist’s vision should keep in mind the branches, their families and the diversity of services, time, eras and demographics. Ground will be broken by the end of the year on a grassy hill behind a parking lot adjacent to the George L. Gordon,
Jr., Government Center, located at 1300 Courthouse Road. The memorial is to honor the sacrifices of Stafford County residents who have served honorably in the United States’ armed forces. After three artist finalists are chosen, the commission will hold a secondary review and one winner will be chosen. The finalists will be selected based on artistic merit, relevance to the exhibition theme, inclusion of required elements and suitability for display in the exhibition space, according to a Stafford County press release. The chosen artist will be recognized at the memorial and awarded $4,800. For detailed submission guidelines, visit StaffordArmedServicesMemorial. weebly.com.

North Stafford grad scores as redshirt junior on Shepherd volleyball team
» By David Driver For InsideNoVa
As a three-sport standout at North Stafford High, Christine Jackson had several options for college. She considered Stevenson, a Division III school in Maryland, and also Division I George Mason University in Fairfax. But she ended up at Shepherd, which plays at the Division II level in the NCAA. Jackson played basketball, soccer and volleyball at North Stafford but decided to play volleyball in college. And she felt Shepherd, about two hours from home in Stafford, was the right fit. “The big reason was the art program that they had here was very big,” Jackson said. “I also wanted to be on a team. It is like a second family to me.” Jackson is on a partial athletic scholarship at Shepherd and is now a redshirt junior middle hitter who has consistently seen more and more playing time each year. She was a redshirt and did not play in 2013. But in 2014 she appeared in 16 matches (and 53 sets) with 11 starts and had 63 kills, 40 blocks (13 solo), eight digs and one assist. Last season she took part in 33 matches (123 sets) with 30 starts and came through with 205 kills, 85 block assists, 43 digs, 19 solo blocks, seven assists and two aces. “My first year here there were two other middle hitters that were seniors at the time,” Jackson said. “After they graduated we had a new coach. I worked really hard.” Jackson played in 30 of the first 48 sets this season and had 42 kills. Alex Hoekstra was an assistant coach in 2014 when the Rams were 18-13 overall and 10-6 in the conference to finish third in the MEC as they advanced to the MEC tournament semifinals. Hoekstra was the interim head coach last season and is now the head coach.

“She is one of our middles. She has had games with double-digit kills. She is starting to connect better with the setters. She came into the spring semester determined to hit the weights. You can see she is reaping the benefits,” said Hoekstra, who added that Jackson dealt with a wrist injury earlier this season. Shepherd won five of its first 13 matches and hosts Notre Dame College of Ohio on Sept. 30 and entertains Urbana University of Ohio on Oct.1. “We only lost three seniors this year. We have a very young team with a lot of new players,” Jackson said. “I kind of step back a little bit and let the senior take [over]. I will take on more leadership next year. I think our team chemistry is pretty
good. We have such a young team, and we have to focus on playing as a team.” Jackson, at North Stafford, earned four letters in basketball, three in volleyball and two in soccer. She helped lead the team to its first district title in volleyball when she was a junior. She had 110 kills and 144 blocks with 138 digs and 28 aces as a senior and was an all-area player. Jackson was high school teammates with Tiffany Barrett, now a senior on the team at Virginia Wesleyan.
SANDERS AIDS VMI FOOTBALL Senior wideout Aaron Sanders (Brooke Point) had 18 catches in the first two games to pace the football team at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington. Fresh-
man Rohan Martin of Colonial Forge High had one catch in the first two games for VMI. The Keydets host Mercer on Oct.1.
FRAZIER CONTRIBUTES AT LIBERTY Redshirt freshman defensive end Javon Frazier had one tackle for Liberty University in a 29-14 loss at Southern Methodist in Dallas on Sept.17. Frazier was an allconference player at Colonial Forge High and was a redshirt last season at Liberty in Lynchburg. The Flames, who began the season with a loss at Virginia Tech, host Robert Morris on Oct. 1. David Driver can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

report notes that both Prince William and Stafford also saw increases in that category. The agency tallied nine i ns t an c e s of mu rd e r or non-negligent manslaughter in Prince William in 2015, a 28.6 percent bump from the seven it recorded the previous year. The change was even starker in Stafford, where the bureau’s researchers recorded a 400 percent increase in those crimes in the county — the number of murders and manslaughters jumped from just one in 2014 to five in 2015. The two counties diverge a bit when it comes to trends surrounding rape in the past year; Prince William saw a 18.4 percent drop in the crime from 2014, while Stafford experienced a 17.9 jump.

project and utilizes school savings in Fiscal Years 2015, 2016 and 2017 as well as school and other proffer funds in the amount of $35.5 million. The proffer funds are funds that developers provide to Stafford County for capital improvement efforts to offset the impact of development on county services. “We feel that this is a viable option. …We’re in a position where the borrow will be less,” said school board member Nanette Kidby, Garrisonville District. The school board currently expects the rebuilt school to open mid-year, in January 2019, but a firm decision has not been made on the date. School board Chairwoman Holly Hazard, Hartwood District, said: “As we have just received a report on the increasing number of students in elementary school — we had 345 — we need to get this school built in this part of the county so that we can increase the number of students in that building and make sure that we continue to meet the needs of our elementary students.” CLASSIFIED

Nationwide, the bureau recorded a 6.3 percent increase in rapes. Within Prince William, the cities of Manassas and Manassas Park experienced trends that were largely different from the surrounding county. In Manassas, the city saw a 35 percent drop in the number of violent crimes compared to 2014. The bureau also didn’t record any murders or nonnegligent manslaughters in Manassas in 2015 (after tallying one in the city in 2014), and the agency noticed a 5.3 drop in the number of rapes. However, the number of property crimes did tick up by 4.1 percent. Manassas Park also experienced a drop in violent crimes to the tune of 45.4 percent. The city didn’t see any murders or manslaughters (the same result as 2014), and also recorded a 7.9 percent drop in property crime from the year before.

Proffers originally discussed included more than $840,000 in funds, some that can be redirected from additions at Colonial Forge High School through Virginia Public School Authority bonds, according to the schools system. In July, the school board attempted to cut rebuild costs following discussion of the increasing cost of the school. The cuts included ditching the wider hallways discussed, along with the gym and specific furniture. Earlier this month, the school board sent the Moncure rebuild project back to the Stafford County Board of Supervisors for further consideration. Preliminary numbers indicate surplus In other education news, the schools system finance staff noted preliminary numbers from the last budget year, indicating more than $8 million in surplus money. The schools system is still completing its year-end results and will further discuss numbers and where any surplus money will go. Much of the money is expected to be placed in reserve accounts, with the possibility of being allocated toward various specific county projects and/or emergency services allocations that county staff recommends.
