Fallon to serve a year in prison

ormer Stafford County School Board member Emily Fallon was ordered Tuesday to serve a year in prison for stealing from a local school’s parent-teacher-organization, which she once led. Fallon, 41, was sentenced in Stafford County Circuit Court to 30 years in prison, with all but one year EMILY FALLON suspended. Judge Michael Levy gave Fallon double the maximum six months recommended by state sentencing guidelines. Fallon entered guilty pleas to three counts of obtaining money by false pretenses and three counts of embezzlement. Each of the six individual charges imposed five-year sentences, with all but two months suspended apiece. She was convicted in July on the charges, which stem from allegations against her from June 2013 through June 2015 when she was the president of Anne E. Moncure Elementary School’s PTO. The PTO is a nonprofit of parents supporting teachers and students at the school. Fallon served as the PTO president prior to running for the Stafford County School Board. In November 2015, she prevailed over the inYEAR cumbent school board PAGE 2 member, Dana Reinboldt,

tafford County School Board member Nanette Kidby is signing off and heading west. Kidby, who represents the Garrisonville District on the school board, announced Tuesday that she will leave the school board at the end of November. Kidby said that she and her husband are downsizing and moving out West, now that their children are grown. The Kidbys have lived in Stafford

for 25 years. “This was not an easy decision for my husband and I,” she said with sadness. “…It’s been an honor, an absolute honor to serve NANETTE KIDBY the residents of the Garrisonville District since 2005.” Kidby is a retired mathematics teacher and a former Stafford County supervisor, in addition to her time served on the local school board.

Kidby said that over the years she’s watched Stafford County grow and develop. “We’re a thriving community,” she said. “Stafford County Public Schools is thriving.” Kidby said that she is extremely proud of the school system and what it’s become, particularly under Superintendent Bruce Benson’s leadership.

Weapons fired into two homes Weapons were fired into local homes in two separate incidents Monday, according to the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. The sheriff ’s office received a call around 3 p.m. that day, that a round from a weapon was just fired into a home on Sequester Drive, off Mountain View Road. The round passed through a double-pane window in the family room and lodged in the drywall. The homeowner heard shooting for approximately 30 minutes prior to the incident. The homeowner said however, that hearing gunfire in the more rural part of the county is not unusual. Later that day around 6 p.m., a homeowner from Stafford’s Widewater area

reported that an arrow was shot into her home on Viking Lane and lodged in a bedroom wall. The homeowner noted that the previous night a loud thud was heard between 6:30 and 7 p.m., but disregarded. The next day, an arrow was found in the wall beside the porch. The arrow has a green and white fin and was shot from an Easton Magnum Crossbow, the sheriff ’s office said. The sheriff ’s office reminds residents be cautious because either of the incidents could have been tragic. Anyone with information on either case is encouraged to call the sheriff ’s office at 540-658-4400. — Staff report

the board. “We will be very said to see you go, Nanette, but we will move on with all the good work you’ve been involved with,” said school board Chairwoman Holly Hazard, Hartwood District. Kidby will officially leave the school board Nov. 30. Hazard said that details are forthcoming about Kidby’s position coming open, and Garrisonville District residents will be able to apply for the seat. Also at the meeting, the school board: • discussed the possibility of making Veterans Day a holiday for 12-month employees (such as custodians and principals) instead of solely allowing teachers and students to be off that day.

THE END OF ALZHEIMER’S STARTS WITH YOU

• talked about Band Together for Hunger, which brings the five county high schools marching bands together to collect food for a Fredericksburg food bank and showcase the bands. The event will be held Nov. 7 at Mountain View High School. • heard a report about SCPS and its success in decreasing elementaryschool class sizes. The school year began with lower elementary-school class sizes overall than the previous school year, the schools system noted. SCPS added 37 new elementary teaching positions and 10 secondary teaching positions. In one year, the number of elementary classes falling outside of the newly adopted staffing guidelines decreased from 60 to four. At the same time, SCPS received an additional 346 elementary-school students, 51 middleschool students and 147 high school students at the start of the school year. Hazard said that as Benson has said, “If everything is important, then nothing’s important.” And, she added referring to class sizes: “This is important.” Hazard said she is “very thrilled with where were are sitting today.” In other education news, late last month the school board welcomed delegates from Stafford County’s sister community, Stafford Borough, England. The delegates took a three-part tour of recent construction projects in the county.

taking the Griffis-Widewater seat on the board. In late April, she abruptly resigned, citing medical problems. Three days later, a Stafford grand jury indicted her on six felony counts, including embezzlement and obtaining money by false pretenses charges. An investigation began in 2015 when PTO members alerted the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office to significant bookkeeping irregularities during Fallon’s tenure. The Stafford County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office, in conjunction with the sheriff ’s office, later gathered enough significant evidence of criminal wrongdoing to present the information to the grand jury. According to the investigation, Fallon took more than $23,400 from the PTO. She later paid back more than $10,000, followed by the remainder of the money in question. According to the investigation, Fallon was transferring PTO funds to her family’s credit card. She first blamed the incident on poor bookkeeping and an honest mistake, but in court she cited medical struggles including bipolar disorder and depression as reasons for the crime. After Fallon vacated the seat, the Stafford County School Board appointed Melissa Ayres to lead the Griffis-Widewater District until a special election for the seat is held Nov. 8.

» Ramoth Baptist Church in Stafford celebrated its 150th anniversary earlier this month. The Oct. 2 celebration included two church services, the band “Freedom’s Crossing,” food, a moon bounce and tours of a schoolhouse that is adjacent to the church. Congregants were also able to dress in a variety of period clothing as part of the celebration.

Senior Pastor D. Howell Scott, who joined Ramoth Baptist Church in July, leads the church along with Executive Pastor Richard Harrell and Associate Pastors Chuck Hite and Jon Morton. Ramoth Baptist Church got its start Oct. 9, 1866, with meetings first taking place at the old Salem Schoolhouse on Mountain View Road. The congregation grew to 44 people in 1869 with a Sunday School enroll-

ment of 135, according to church historical records. From its post-Civil War days to now, Ramoth Baptist Church has been a refuge for its congregants. According to the church website: “The challenges of today's world stand in stark contrast to that season following the Civil War but we serve the same Lord and it's the same spirit that empowers us now to minister right where we have been planted.”

On Sundays, worship services take place at 8:15 and 10:45 a.m., with Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. On Wednesdays, there are activities for all ages beginning at 6:15 p.m. The church welcomes an eclectic mix of people. “At RBC, three-piece suits and dresses meet hoodies, jeans and even biker chaps.” The church is located at 478 Ramoth Church Road.

Stafford earns another AAA bond rating Citing Stafford’s “strong revenue framework, low long-term liability burden and outstanding gap-closing capacity,” Fitch Ratings upgraded Stafford County’s bond ratings to AAA earlier this month. The action follows Stafford’s AAA upgrade from Standard & Poor’s in July 2015. Stafford Supervisor Robert Thomas, R-George Washington, who serves as the chairman of the county’s board of supervisors, said that the board is committed to being a fiscally responsible, accountable government. “…We have taken a very conservative budget approach, making sure our reserves are strong and that we continuously implement budgeting techniques that

provide for increased financial flexibility, one of the factors Fitch found positive in our upgrade…” he said. The board adopted strict financial policies that include maintaining a balanced budget, borrowing money only for capital projects, maintaining prudent reserves, estimating revenues conservatively and increasing cash funding of capital projects to reduce reliance on debt, according to a news release. Fitch cited Stafford’s financial resilience during the recent recession and the county’s strong budget management. “Having two AAA bond ratings really validates our policies and the financial direction we have taken in the last few

years. It also enables Stafford to borrow money at a lower interest rate, allowing us to save money and utilize funds for other services for citizens,” said Supervisor Jack Cavalier, R-Griffis-Widewater, chairman of the board’s finance, audit and budget committee.” Fitch stated in its report that the “AAA” issuer default rating and general obligation ratings “reflect the county’s strong growth prospects, ample reserves and broad budgetary tools.” Fitch also attributed its assessment to other factors in the bond-ratings upgrade, such as Stafford’s location and accessibility to several interstate highways, rail lines and major airports; ongoing transporta-

tion projects along Interstate 95 and road improvements countywide; a 1.6 percent average annual growth rate in population since 2010 and well-educated, trained workforce form a stable economic base; and a federal government that anchors the economy through the presence of Marine Corps Base Quantico, the Drug Enforcement Agency and the FBI’s principal training facilities and national crime lab. Other factors included and an increase in total employment for four consecutive years, with a 4 percent unemployment rate as of 2016, well below the state and the nation; and an affordable fixed-cost burden paired with a modest long-term liability burden.

Time for supervisors be face water woes It seems to me … it is undeniable that we cannot survive without water and the water has to be without impurities, pollutants or toxic chemicals. HARVEY GOLD We drink it without testing it because there are folks who make certain our tap water is clean and potable. The folks at Abel Lake and Smith Lake Water Treatment Plants make certain your water is safe before it reaches your house. And when you are done using the water the folks at the Aquia and Little Falls Waste Water Treatment Plants clean it up so that it can return for reuse. The people that do this work go unnoticed and unappreciated but without their dedication our lives would be unhealthy and unpleasant. Even though our groundwater levels are down, the water still flows regularly to our homes and businesses. And we expect it to be that way every day. But not all of us, even in Stafford County, have the infrastructure that brings wa-

ter. Some folks depend on wells for their water, whose level varies with topography and season. In Stafford County and the surrounding area, groundwater levels are down. When someone builds a home or a development of homes, there is no guarantee at what level water will be reached. So when it recently was made public that in Stafford County at least half a dozen families are encountering serious issues with wells and well-water, there was a reaction, not only because of the families involved but because it pointed out that with our constantly growing population this is an issue that cannot be ignored. The issue was highlighted recently in the story of a family whose 3-year old home is near Mount Olive Road. In this short time they have spent more than $50,000 to drill five wells to maintain an adequate water supply. Groundwater in that area appears to be limited and at least six other families in that area have well issues involving low yields and bad water quality. Some might say that those who bought or moved there should have investigated the matter before investing

in a home. But how many folks who build or buy their homes have any thought that water availability will be an issue? So, with the paucity of groundwater data and insufficient government regulatory involvement, this is an issue for any who may build or purchase in Stafford County. Realistically, it is a matter that cannot wait because of the immediate prospect of a cluster subdivision, relying on wells, being built near the affected families. Since there are about 10,000 homes with wells in Stafford County that are groundwater dependent, this is a matter of extreme importance. This is especially true as more people move into the county and builders seek land on which to build developments not served by the county water infrastructure and water supply. The Stafford County Board of Supervisors needs to move this up on their agenda. Issues like those involving the school board are important, as are those involving roads and transportation; but none can be more important than the prospect of Stafford families or entire communities that don’t have enough water or have poor quality water. Action is needed on this matter, lest we speak the words of the sailor in Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s poem, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, “Water, water everywhere, Nor any drop to drink.” Harvey Gold can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

Difficulties surround Hispanic Heritage Month A 1 4 - ye ar- ol d Hispanic runaway missing for over nine weeks from Stafford County was recently found in Indianapolis, but for local Latinos her DANIEL CORTEZ disappearance casts a cloud during Hispanic Heritage Month. It’s was a difficult case for investigators from Stafford, Spotsylvania, King George, Caroline and Prince William counties because she is a juvenile. What complicated the issue further is that while the girl is a citizen by birth, her parents are undocumented and have lived in the states for 15 years. Conflicts surrounding the undocumented in our community and nation are defining issues for Donald Trump and his presidential campaign opponent, Hillary Clinton. Trump rallies Republicans with his call to build a wall on the U.S. southern border and end support of sanctuary cities. Highly publicized crimes committed by illegals—such as the deadly shooting of Kate Steinle on July 1, 2015, in San Francisco allegedly by Francisco Sanchez, a Hispanic felon deported on five occasions—enrage the public.

My own godson, Philip Chavez Jr., a Marine veteran, was slain in 2002 by an illegal immigrant and suspected drug dealer who was never prosecuted in California. Needless to say, the issue stirs my passion for resolution. In contrast to Trump, Clinton seeks an expeditious “path to full and equal citizenship” for the undocumented, with no immediate deportation strategy for all. She downplays crimes in sanctuary cities. What’s also significant is how both candidates are viewed by large, independent ,minority voting groups that will sway the election and down ballot races such as 1st District Rep. Rob Wittman who faces Democrat Matt Rowe and independent Gail Parker. Or 10th District Rep. Barbara Comstock who is opposed by Democratic challenger LuAnn Bennett. Both have large minority sectors in their districts. Wittman, also a candidate for governor next year, has endorsed Trump. Comstock won’t. Prudently, Trump has begun attempting to improve his image by expressing concern toward the Hispanic community. At the recent commander-in-chief ’s forum, Trump stated he embraced the idea of “qualified” members of the undocumented community serve in our military.

nam used military service as a means toward citizenship. It’s the least a nation can do for those putting their lives on the line for the 99 percent who do not serve on active duty. Trump’s also attempting to soften his tone toward undocumented families and looking into deportation on a case-bycase basis. Not sure that sits well with the victims and families of illegal immigrant crime, but one should acknowledge that the vast majority of our immigrant community, legal or not, remains in pursuit of a better life like many of our ancestors. But locally, Stafford Commonwealth’s Attorney Eric Olsen suggests processing is relative. When prosecuting illegal immigrants compared with the general population, he indicates that when they are given bond and released for offenses during pretrial hearings, there is not a higher recidivism or fail to appear rate between the undocumented community and other defendants. And it’s important to note that millions of illegal immigrants pay taxes. That’s the case with the runaway’s family. Regardless of the current political debate or accomplishments celebrated during Hispanic Heritage Month, there’s great anxiety in the community for immigration resolution. And the Latino vote looms large as a key voting community that will sway a number of elections. Daniel P. Cortez can be reached at Staffordnews@insidenova.com. SPORTS SPORTS

Republican Congressman Rob Wittman found himself forced to defend both his party’s controversial nominee for president and his own gubernatorial bid, early and often Wednesday night, as he debated a pair of long-shot challengers vying for his 1st District seat. Wittman represented the district — which covers parts of Prince William and Stafford counties and stretches south to the Hampton Roads area of the state— since winning a special election in 2007, but the debate at the Dar Al-Noor Islamic Center in Manassas only seldom touched on his voting record. Instead, Democrat Matthew Rowe devoted the bulk of his attacks at Wittman’s backing of GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump and the congressman’s plans to pursue the Republican nomination for governor of Virginia in 2017. Rowe faces an uphill battle in trying to unseat Wittman — according to campaign finance data compiled by the Virginia Public Access Project, the incumbent has raised $821,355 in the race so far, dwarfing Rowe’s $15,537 — but the Bowling Green town councilman and G.I.S. analyst in Stafford County — is casting himself as the only “change candidate” in the race.

Trump?” Rowe said. “If I disagreed with my party’s nominee, then I wouldn’t let the primary voters speak for me.” Wittman charged that disavowing Trump would deny the will of the millions of voters who picked him as the party’s nominee. Though he claims he finds Trump’s remarks about women “reprehensible,” he plans to support Trump all the same. “There are places where we disagree,” Wittman said. “My wife and I have been married for 35 years; we still disagree at times and support each other. I’m not going to disagree with what the voters say.” One prime area where he disagrees with Trump: the nominee’s calls for a total ban on Muslims entering the country. “That is counter to what we stand for as a country,” Wittman said. Nevertheless, Wittman does align more with Trump’s calls for a wall along the country’s southern border with Mexico, claiming that he’d make securing the border through “physical or technological” means a priority if re-elected. “There’s absolutely no security along our borders. Securing the border is the first thing we have to do,” Wittman said. Notably, a new report from the Department of Homeland Security shows that illegal border crossings have steadily declined over the last decade, though Wittman also cited a need for tougher prosecutions of people who overstay their visas. Rowe, by contrast, said he supports a path to citizenship for immigrants already in the country illegally, a move Wittman staunchly opposes. “The wall’s not going to work, and it’s too expensive,” Rowe said. “Without a pathway to citizenship, we’ll be stuck with CLASSIFIED

this self-perpetuating nightmare where people are left as second-class citizens.” One area where the two major-party candidates could agree was the need for an overhaul of the country’s tax code, though they differ sharply on how it should change. Rowe said he favors preserving a progressive tax code but closing some of its loopholes for top earners. Wittman backs a total overhaul of the system, frequently signing on bills outlining a concept known as “Fair Tax” that would replace all federal income taxes, payroll taxes and estate taxes with a single levy on retail sales. “We need to take our current plan and put it in the trash can, start from scratch,” Wittman said. “And it eliminates the IRS. I don’t know anyone that will shed a tear about the IRS going away. It’s simpler, fairer and more thoughtful.” But Rowe challenged that premise, noting that it would likely prove more beneficial for people in the highest income brackets and overly burden the middle class by causing the prices of goods and services to skyrocket. “The tax system is complicated for a reason,” Rowe said. “Simply scrapping it is not just the way to go.” Not surprisingly, the issue of taxes brought the candidates back to Trump once more, and both Wittman and Rowe could agree that lawmakers should tread carefully before eliminating the provision the nominee used to avoid paying federal income taxes for years by carrying forward his hefty business losses. “We need to think long and hard about what sort of effect that might have on business owners,” Wittman said.

LIVING WITH DOGS | LAURIE C. WILLIAMS

SHELTER PETS OF THE WEEK

Don't spook the dog! It's that time of year again. The season of scarecrows, jack-o-lanterns, witches and warlocks. We humans, adults and children alike, LAURIE C. WILLIAMS love being scared, especially during Halloween. The more ghosts, goblins and things that go bump in the night, the better! We crave that element of surprise that makes us jump out of our skin. However, while the element of surprise might be entertaining to us, it is rarely fun for our dogs. In fact, “spooking” your pets could cause some lasting negative effects. So this year when planning your Halloween festivities, keep these few tips in mind: Keep track of your dog. Even if your dog has been well socialized, it's best to keep him inside during the constant onslaught of visitors and strangers during trick or treating, or parties. Even

the friendliest dog can react negatively when he is surprised or presented with something (or someone) he's never seen before or doesn't understand. It's a natural instinct for a dog to protect his territory and family from perceived threats. Remember, your dog doesn't know the “Freddy Krueger” coming up your driveway is just a costume. And be sure your dog has identification on his collar and/ or is microchipped in case he gets away. Provide a safe haven. This is especially important if your dog is shy or a little skittish. Set up an area in a quiet room away from the thoroughfare where he can relax and minimize stress. We don't want him to think he is being punished, so give him plenty of treats or favorite chew toy to keep him occupied and happy. Act normally. Even though the evening is anything but normal, try not to let your dog know that. Stick to his normal routine as closely as possible, and do things he is familiar with as much as you can. Dogs are very keen at picking up

on our emotions, so if you are nervous about the evening, he will be too. Acclimate your dog to both your and his costumes. We've all seen the photos each year of dogs looking “ashamed” as they pose wearing their Halloween costumes. Those dogs aren't ashamed, they're stressed. The way to avoid that is to allow your dog to become familiar with having the costume on. Dogs are particularly sensitive about things on their legs, feet and head. They should be introduced to their costume one piece at a time, and be sure to reward with high value food every step of the way. And this goes for your costume as well. Your dog loves you, but seeing you wearing a witch's hat or dressed like a Hobbit might throw him off a bit. Do a trial run before the big night and let him see you in full garb before the main event. Stafford business owner Laurie C. Williams, CPDT.KA, is a television and radio personality and nationally recognized dog trainer. She can be reached at info@ pupniron.com.

While Breast Cancer Awareness month is important for education, women should be certain to remain vigilant year-round. Prevention is key to beating breast cancer, and these guidelines can help women stay one step ahead: • Annual screening mammograms should start at age 40. • Self-exams should be considered based on each woman’s comfort level. • Annual exams by doctors should start at age 21, or earlier if a woman experiences any symptoms.

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT

Internet of Things is already here It used to be the only thing in our homes hooked to the Internet were our PCs. In a short amount of time, we added phones and tablets. Now, MARK STOUT there are a multitude of things we can connect to the net, in our home and in the outside world. This concept is called the Internet of Things, or IoT for short. The Internet of Things will dramatically change the world and, if we choose, our homes. IoT in the world can be sensors along the roadside that report traffic flow. It can be power meters already in many homes that automatically report meter readings to utility vehicles that pass your street. IoT can be sensors monitoring pipelines, medical equipment monitoring patients as they go about their day, buoys at sea watching for tsunamis, remote seismometers, and new uses every day. IoT may already be in your home. There are home automation lights you can control from your phone, the Harmony remote control system for controlling TVs and other home entertainment, the Ring doorbell or any of the multitude of connected home automation devices.

The Amazon Echo, and Google’s just announced Home, let you ask questions, receive answers and command some home automation products. The Echo makes it easy to order from Amazon simply by asking for a product. The Ring doorbell is mounted by your front door. When someone touches the button, thinking it is your doorbell, you are alerted on your phone. You can see them and have a conversation with them. They do not know you might not be in the house. Burglars often ring the doorbell first to see if anyone is at home before entering a house. If the person is someone you trust— maybe your child coming home from school who has forgotten their key—you can activate your electronic lock on the front door and let them in or open the garage door with an opener controlled from your phone. All these devices use your WiFi access point to connect to the net. That garage door opener could be linked to your phone so that when your phone’s location sensor realizes you are approaching home, the phone sends a signal to open the garage door as you drive into your driveway. You can place water and freeze sensors in your home. These are really handy if you need to monitor a vacation home or

an elderly parent’s home. Smart thermostats like the Nest can help learn how you live, and adjust your heating and cooling so you are comfortable, and save you money. Home security systems now almost always use IoT capabilities to report security status to your phone. Small WiFi capable security cameras can monitor the outside of your home or wherever you choose to place them. The Ring doorbell has a motion sensor that is used to grab a photo of anyone passing near. It can alert you when a package is delivered or what time your teen came home last night after you were asleep. The Internet of Things can monitor your health through devices like the Fitbit, WiFi connected treadmills and even bathroom scales that Tweet out your weight. That last one oddly didn’t do well in the marketplace. There are sleep monitors, blood pressure and body temperature monitors all talking to apps on your phone. There are even IoT devices for your pets. There are dog collars that use GPS to report your dog’s location, even being able to sound an alarm if they leave a designated area. The collar can even tell you when your dog is too hot or too cold. Your phone is itself an IoT device. It

reports your presence on highways, and your speed, so that Google Map’s traffic data is useful. Search and rescue teams have saved lives by pinging the phone of lost hikers and others to find out their location. All of these devices are not without concerns. Security is one. Potentially, someone could hack your electronic door lock for easy access. Easier still though is to break a window and climb in. There are also concerns about interoperability. Your WiFi-controlled light bulbs need one phone app and its own hub, while your doorbell, door lock and water sensor may need different hubs and apps. Hopefully that will get better soon. And there is a risk of abandonment. The makers of the Nest Smart Thermostat purchased a company called Resolv before Nest was acquired by Google. Eventually, they noticed that not many people were actually using the Resolv hub, so they discontinued its cloud-based services the hub was dependent on. If you buy a IoT device and the company chooses to stop supporting it, your device may become useless. When you hear of the Internet of Things, you now realize it is your phone and items in your home, as well as a multitude of sensors and controls out in the world.

North Stafford’s Slye gets his kicks at Virginia Tech

David Driver »ForByInsideNoVa

Even with a new head coach, Beamer Ball is alive and well in Blacksburg this season. The Virginia Tech football team still puts a lot of emphasis on defense, and special teams continues to come up with blocked kicks on a regular basis even after the retirement of Frank Beamer, the head coach for 29 years. But first-year head coach Justin Fuente has put his mark on the Hokies’ program and that has trickled down to kicker Joey Slye, who is from Stafford and played at North Stafford High School. When Slye kicks off at home – and he did that a lot against East Carolina in a homecoming win last month – and the ball goes through the end zone, Slye and his teammates continue running all the way to the end zone. They then raise their hands to pump up the fans sitting behind the end zone. “That is something coach Fuente brought over from Memphis to get the crowd into the game a little bit,” Slye said. “I thought it was a great way to get the fans involved. We have a big emphasis on special teams. We put a big emphasis on putting our best players on the field.” Slye made his first 21 points after touchdown attempts this year and was four of six on field goals. One miss was over 40 yards out and the other was from more than 50 yards out. Slye missed field goal tries in the first two games of the season, at home against Liberty and a game against Tennessee in Bristol. “Both of them were really good hits. They were just pushed to the right. It is a technical thing. I am still hitting the ball really well. It is a timing factor,” he said. The kicker since 2014 for the Hokies, he made his first 14 kicks from inside the 29 and was 16 of 19 on kicks from 30-39 yards out. He was 17 of 23 in kicks from 40 to 49 yards out to start his college career. “Our offense has been moving really

good the past few games,” he said. “They are putting up a lot of points. For me it is a lot of PATs and kickoffs.” The Hokies play Oct. 15 at Syracuse. Off the field Slye spent some time earlier this season with Elijah Oltmanns, a teenager from Vinton who has been facing lymphoma. Slye’s brother, A.J., died of leukemia a few years ago. “He really wanted to go out of his way to meet Elijah and spend some time with him,” Fuente told the Virginia Tech athletic website about Slye.

He wrote a letter to the Spiders community and vowed to return for his final two years of eligibility. “I’ve been through a lot in my 20 years and this is just another mountain to climb. There’s a saying out there that says that God gives the hardest battles to the toughest soldiers.

Colonial Forge defense benefits from new look » BY DAVID STEGON

For InsideNoVa

After watching his defense give up 41 points and nearly 572 yards in total offense against Brooke Point, Bill Brown knew it was time for a change, even if it was just one game into the season. Giving up lots of points and yards to Brooke Point is something a number of area teams have dealt with this season. The Black-Hawks average more than 49 points a game behind dynamic running back Damone Drew, but Brown thought a schematic change could put his team in a better place to compete. “Looking at our defense, we had a lot of experience on the defensive line and in the second, but had some younger players at linebacker,” Brown said. “They are good players, but still inexperienced, so we wanted to change our front to better help them shed blockers.” Colonial Forge switched from a 4-3 front with four down lineman and three linebackers to a 3-4 front with three lineman and four linebackers. It was a simple adjustment, but by putting another linebacker on the field, the Eagles could simplify the assignments of their young linebackers. The results so far have been encouraging: In the six games since, Colonial Forge CLASSIFIED

has yet to allow more than 14 points to an opponent in six straight wins. In that stretch, the Eagles have outscored opponents 289 to 56, including a 44-14 win over North Stafford where star running back Devyn Ford was held (relatively) in check. “It’s been encouraging,” Brown said. Of course, the big test comes this Friday in a conference game against Hylton. The Bulldogs feature Ricky Slade, one of the nation’s top recruited running back for the class of 2018, and an offense that runs everything from the single wing to the spread. “They have the ability to line up in a jumbo set and overpower you or spread you out, so they will be a challenge,” said Brown, who coached Hylton to two state titles in the 1990s. “They have a good offensive line, athletic tight ends and really try to pound you. Ricky Slade is Ricky Slade, but they can play a really smash mouth style.” When asked for standouts on the defensive side, Brown said the success has been because of the play of the overall unit. He even joked, “If you have a standout on defense, that usually means your defense isn’t very good.” Dave Stegon can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com. OPINION
