School board revisits redistricting
REMEMBERING THOSE WHO SERVED
Members focus on Falmouth, Moncure and Winding Creek TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
R
edistricting at Falmouth, Moncure and Winding Creek elementary schools was on the agenda for the Tuesday meeting of the Stafford County School Board. At a work session two weeks earlier, the school board asked for additional, broad information about redistricting possibilities. Scott Horan, assistant superintendent for facilities at SCPS, told the school board that since then, information was put together for each school’s potential plan. According to a school board background report and discussed redistricting options, Falmouth Elementary School could receive roughly 120 students from the England Run neighborhood who currently attend Margaret Brent and Ferry Farm elementary schools. The board is also looking at several pre-K classes that will need to be relocated. Horan said 54 students from Ferry Farm Elementary School and 73 students from Margaret Brent Elementary School, would possibly go to Falmouth. At Winding Creek, Horan said that about 100 additional students are projected for next school year, based on local neighborhood statistics. “Worst-case scenario, there would be four additional classrooms needed than what they have today,” he said. In order to take the additional students, Horan said that its two pre-K programs would potentially need to be relocated. Other possibilities include temporarily converting a computer room at Winding Creek and either converting part of a FOCUS room or a music-art space into a classroom. A modular classroom could also be placed at Winding Creek, he said. “This would be a one-year issue,” Horan said. “That’s what we’re looking at. How can we mitigate the impact on both Winding Creek and Moncure for this one year as the board and our process goes through a comprehensive redistricting at the elementary schools?” Horan said a comprehensive re-shifting in elementary schools across the northern part of Stafford is planned in 2019-20, following the temporary fixes. At Moncure Elementary School, 30 extra students are projected for next year, BOARD Horan said. PAGE 7 Stafford school board member

Drones could assist sheriff’s office this spring TRACY BELL

T
he Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office is planning to be ahead of some other law enforcement agencies by using drones as early as
this spring. The Stafford County Board of Supervisors agreed Tuesday to support a sheriff ’s office certificate of waiver/authorization for a public agency application, which is needed from the Federal Aviation Administration to initiate an unmanned aircraft systems program. The purpose of the program is to protect life and property through the support of law enforcement operations and related activities, according to a board background report. Trained deputies would use the drones for search and rescue; am-

Also at the meeting, the board discussed a World War II veteran recognition event held last week in conjunction with the Virginia World War I and World War II Commemoration Commission. The event was held through a partnership with Fredericksburg and Stafford and Spotsylvania counties. “We were delighted to have 42 veterans come to our ceremony… It really was one of the most special and meaningful events we’ve held here in Stafford,” said Supervisors’ Chairman Robert Thomas, R-George Washington. “It certainly was a privilege to honor those heroes.”

The letter would also state that the board recognizes, on behalf of the sheriff ’s office, the legal responsibility for operation of the drones. Stafford Sheriff David Decatur said that drones can also be used to locate missing people who wear bracelet tracking devices. The sheriff ’s office anticipates getting two to three drones if approved, he said. Decatur added that he realizes concerns STAFFORD COUNTY SUN about civil liberties and privacy when it comes to using drones.

Santa, 75 floats planned for Stafford’s Christmas parade » TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
Stafford County’s second-annual Christmas Parade will be held Saturday from 5 to 7 p.m., with Santa Claus and more than 75 floats highlighting the evening. Maureen Fitzgibbons, who assists parade coordinator Gordon Shelton, said Tuesday that preparations for the parade were wrapping up nicely. This year’s theme is “Christmas Memories.” Along with the floats, fire-rescue and sheriff ’s office vehicles will be a part of the parade. The event will be held regardless of weather conditions, Fitzgibbons said. “We do not plan on letting any weather dampen our Christmas cheer and fun on Saturday,” she said, indicating a variety of floats, bands, trucks, fire trucks, wreckers, marchers, dancers, twirlers, 4-H animals, dogs and horses will participate. B101.5 radio station will emcee the event and CVTV will broadcast the parade this year. Fitzgibbons said that due to a change in location, a larger crowd is expected than at last year’s parade, which was the first. The parade will run from Black-Hawk
Drive at Brooke Point High School to Courthouse Road to Hospital Center Boulevard adjacent to Stafford Hospital. The one-mile route, flanked by sidewalks, will allow more room for enjoying the parade, Fitzgibbons said. A shuttle-bus service will run from 3 to 5 p.m. from the Courthouse Road commuter lot, the Brooke Virginia Railway Express lot, Stafford’s government center lot and the Alvin York Bandy Administrative Complex lot. Spectators are encouraged to bring lawn chairs and blankets and food trucks will be located at both ends of the parade. Santa Claus will make an appearance, Fitzgibbons said, in his sled on the last float of the parade. He’ll head straight to Stafford Hospital’s medical pavilion for pictures with visiting children. A facepainting station will also be available there. Portable toilets will be located at Brooke Point High School and at Hospital Center Boulevard, according to the parade web site.

Rep. Wittman bows out of run for governor’s seat » ALEX KOMA
akoma@insidenova.com
Rep. Rob Wittman, R-1st District, is dropping his Virginia gubernatorial bid, calling the opportunity to work with a wide Republican majority and a friendly administration too good to pass up. Wittman recently won re-election for his sixth term in Congress, representing a district that includes parts of Prince William and Stafford counties, but he announced his plan to run for the GOP nomination for governor simultaneously late last year. Now, he’s hoping to stay in Washington and earn a prestigious committee assignment in the new Congress, specifically angling for one
dealing with the nation’s military or veterans. “My intentions haven’t changed, but the circumstances around me have,” Wittman wrote in a statement. “We have a unique opportunity right now in Congress to work with the new administration and with Republican lawmakers in the House and Senate to make real impacts across the commonwealth and the country.” Wittman’s decision now leaves three Republicans vying for the nomination: Corey Stewart, chair of the Prince William Board of County Supervisors, GOP strategist and failed U.S. Senate candidate Ed Gillespie and state Sen. Frank Wagner, R-7th District.

When I was about 4 going on 5 my parents, in the check-out line at Drug Fair, bought a 45 RPM record for me. I don’t recall if I asked for it. I DAVID KERR don’t think I did, but both Mom and Dad were very anxious to get it. That’s because they wanted to listen to it too. It was a collection of radio transmissions from the then still in progress Mercury program. This was America’s first foray into human space exploration. These snippets of radio traffic back forth between the astronaut and NASA are priceless. They captured all of the tension and excitement of this first great American space adventure. And like any child I listened to them over and over. I might not have appreciated their significance, but I remember hearing that familiar farewell just before John Glenn left for outer space. It was a simple, and heartfelt, “Godspeed, John Glenn.” It was spoken by a future astronaut, Scott Carpenter. Glenn was about to become the first American to orbit the Earth. He wasn’t the first man in space. That distinction belongs to Yuri Gagarin. Nor was he was the first American in space. And he wasn’t even the first person to orbit the Earth. The Russians had done that too. But this mission was a milestone when it came to America’s future in space. And everybody knew it. If we could put a
man in orbit, then we were in the game. The mission went fine. That is until a point. Glenn made three orbits. Then, as so often happens in the business of space exploration, there was something to worry about. A display at Mission Control indicated that the heat shield was partially detached. If it was detached, there was no hope of a safe return to Earth. However, maybe it was just a faulty indicator. NASA conferred with Glenn and they agreed that they’d just have to find out the hard way. President Kennedy was informed and waited anxiously for the word. Would he make it? The answer, as we all know, was that he did. Reportedly, he hummed, loudly, all the way down. Reentry is a scary business and that was how he got through it. That kind of cool and calm manner under pressure was a John Glenn trademark. Glenn was a U.S. Marine officer. He had flown fighters in World War II and Korea. But it in 1957, while working as a Marine test pilot, he set a new trans-continental supersonic speed record and in so doing caught the eye of the folks looking for prospects to be astronauts. Being an astronaut back in those times wasn’t for the squeamish. Just have a look at a Mercury spacecraft. It’s not very big and a racecar driver has more room. Also, NASA had been having problems getting rockets into space. The list of failures was almost as long as the list of ones that successfully got off the ground. Glenn made it into the program and into the history books. There were seven
astronauts in the Mercury program, and John Glenn was the last survivor. Now, there are none, with John Glenn’s death last week at age 95. He loved aviation and he loved to fly. But he was also comfortable in the limelight. His calm, mid-Western manner, served him well, and he was elected to the U.S. Senate from Ohio in 1974— and even sought the Democratic nomination for president in 1984. He served with distinction until his retirement in 1999. But though in his late 70s, John Glenn never really got over the space bug. He was in good shape and lobbied NASA to let him fly one more time. As one NASA official put it, off the record, “…how do you say ‘no’ to John Glenn?” They didn’t and in 1998 he went on a seven-day mission aboard the space shuttle. Becoming the oldest man in space, so far, didn’t bother him. If he felt any ill effects, like almost every Marine I’ve met, he didn’t say anything. There was a certain group that defined the character of our early adventures in space. Names like Gus Grissom, Neil Armstrong and Scott Carpenter —with their sense of daring, their passion for exploration and their desire to be the best—said a lot about America. John Glenn was among that group. And now, like many of that early breed of astronaut, he has left us. But, maybe, hopefully, some of that spirit still survives, and someday we’ll rekindle some of our passion for exploring the Heavens. Until then, “Godspeed, John Glenn.” David Kerr, a former member of the Stafford County School Board, is an instructor in political science at VCU and can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

Have a safe shopping season Don’t let the bad guys put a damper on your holiday glee by stealing your digital information this holiday shopping season. According to a recent survey by Norton Security, 16 percent of Baby Boomers have experienced online crime in the last year, while 45 percent of Millennials have been victims. Cyber security experts at RSA say that mobile devices helped influence more than $1 trillion in total purchases in 2015, and revenue from e-commerce sales are projected to reach $516 billion by 2017. With this lucrative and growing trend of mobile commerce, threats to mobile user security are also on the rise. Fraud attempts on mobile commerce increased 173 percent between 2013 and 2015. So what can consumers do to protect themselves when they are cyber shopping this holiday season? Here are a few tips to make your holiday shopping safer. 1. Ensure your smartphone is safe and secure. Just like your computer, your smartphone also needs protection from online attacks and malware. Your mobile device uses many open Wi-Fi networks that are the digital Wild West for cyber bad guys. Look for mobile security apps in Apple’s App Store or Google Store with

publishers you recognize. 2. Use a temporary virtual credit card number. If you find that perfect gift on an unknown site, put away your credit card and instead, use a virtual credit card number that allows you to shop online without exposing your real account number. Many banks and credit unions offer temporary credit card numbers that allow you to set the amount and time frame for a purchase, then send you a card number to use online. 3. Look for website addresses (URLs) starting with “HTTPS” rather than “HTTP.” HTTPS uses SSL, or secure sockets layer, which encrypts the information being sent so that only the intended recipient can see it. 4. Beware of unexpected retail emails! Don’t get lured in by eye-catching holiday emails. Tis the season of phishing scams; Never click on a link in an advertising email from a store you’ve never bought from. If the advertised items do interest you, open your browser to visit the vendor. 5. Avoid public Wi-Fi. Sitting in the local coffee shop and wanting to get in a quick shopping opportunity? Don’t do it using the public Wi-Fi. Instead, stick to your 3G/4G mobile network. EDUCATION

OPINION
6. Ensure you have the latest version of your browser app. Use only the major mobile browsers, such as Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Opera, which provide built-in security features that offer some protection from malware. 7. Tell your bank where and when you’re traveling. Holiday travel, especially to foreign countries, introduces a whole new level of security concerns. Most financial institutions these days encourage members to submit a Travel Notification to let them know when and where they will be on their holiday trips so they can help protect their accounts. Apple FCU uses these notifications to put controls on the member’s cards and accounts to allow transactions in the countries traveled to, while blocking transactions elsewhere. Smartphones and tablets have changed the landscape of personal computing, and provided a wonderful new world of opportunity for hackers to take what they want, when they want it. Adopting these simple tips will help you and your information remain safe this holiday season by keeping the Grinch out of your wallet.

Neff contacted the teenage persona that Wells assumed, according to Moncure, and as a conversation went on, it became sexual in nature. A meeting between the two was arranged. Instead, Stafford sheriff ’s office personnel, with help from the Fauquier County Sheriff ’s Office, executed a search warrant at Neff ’s home and he was taken into custody.

Why Are You Avoiding the Doctor?
M
o s t Americ a n s want to stay healthy and prevent disease and illness. For many, this means getting regular check-ups and using their health plan benefits. For others, it seems that ignorance is bliss. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Americans get their preventive services only about half the time, even though preventive care is fully covered at no cost by most health plans under the Affordable Care Act. Pre ve nt ive s e rvices save lives and decrease suffering from advanced illnesses. Vaccinat i o n s p r e v e nt life-threatening diseases. Health screenings can find serious conditions
early. Managing diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure can prevent heart attacks, strokes or kidney failure. Despite these facts, there are numerous reasons people avoid their doctors. “Understanding why you avoid getting your needed preventive care is the first step in taking action for your health,” says Dr. Christina Stasiuk, senior medical director for Cigna. Dr. Christina and the experts at Cigna identified six types of people b as e d on c om mon perceptions. Thinking about where you fit can help you see why you may put off preventive care: • Procrastinators: Procrastinators fear that a check-up will discover a condition that needs to be addressed and will impact them personally and financially. They delay or avoid getting a check-up to cope with their apprehension.

• What-if Worriers: What-if Worriers spend a lot of time thinking about unpleasant hypothetical situations and things. While some worriers see a doctor for every ache or pain, others avoid check-ups altogether because they anticipate an unfavorable diagnosis.

Health Tip
Don’t let the flu bug you. Flu season is here. Colder weather means that flu viruses are out in numbers, and can be especially dangerous for young children and older adults. Symptoms of the flu include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, and more. Luckily, you can take steps to avoid the flu. Practice good health habits like covering your cough and washing your hands often. The number one method to avoid the flu is to be vaccinated. Talk to your doctor to see if the flu vaccine is right for you.

B2 | HEALTH GUIDE | INSIDENOVA.COM | DECEMBER 2016
• Solitary Sufferers: Many people don’t get help from their doctors to avoid revealing personal issues or concerns — especially related to mental health or substance use — because they’re ashamed and worried about being judged as weak by others. This fear also keeps them from using their Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) at work. • Super Savers: Super Savers always look for a good deal and hate to pay full price for anything. They pinch every penny and may view a checkup as not worth the cost. Some don’t even realize their health benefit plan covers preventive care services with no out-of-pocket costs, or how advanced diseases may cost them much more time and money. • Workaholics: People in this group value work over any other activity. They may consider a check-up to be a waste of time, and don’t realize that poor health can impact the work performance they prize. • Self-Diagnosers: Self-Diagnosers feel confident that they are engaging in healthy activities and the need for a check-up doesn’t really apply to them. They may not consider that early on, many conditions have no physical symptoms. No matter what your own motivations and concerns may be, you can get tips on taking control of your health and using your health benefits to the fullest at Cigna.com. “From vaccinations to early detection, optimal health absolutely includes preventive care. Get past the hurdles and schedule your recommended checkups. It is crucial for your long-term health and wellness,” says Dr. Christina.
Healthy New Year’s Resolutions to Boost Your Immunity
T
his New Year, one important resolution is to focus on supporting a strong immune system for a happy and healthy 2017. “Building a strong immune system can improve and even extend your life,” says Larry Robinson, PhD, and vice president of Scientific Affairs, Embria Health Sciences, a manufacturer of natural, sciencebased ingredients that support wellness and vitality. For a healthier year, Robinson and the experts at Embria are encouraging people to toast to these great health and wellness tips. BE SOCIAL
It’s easy to hole-up during these cold winter days, but it’s not very good for your health or immune system. Research shows that people that have more human interactions are better at combating cold weather challenges. So make sure to chat with your
coworkers during the day and make plans with your friends after work. Not only will this boost your immunity, but social activities may also help reduce stress and depression. SUPPLEMENT
While a well-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can support good health, getting the proper vitamins and nutrients in sufficient quantities every day can prove challenging. REST AND RELAXATION
Rest and relaxation can go a long way toward supporting good health. Ongoing sleep deficiency is linked to a number of major health problems and can impair the way your immune system responds, according to the National Institutes of Health. What’s more, too much stress can compromise immune response. So whether it‚‘s spending time with friends, going to yoga class
or taking a bath, make sure your schedule includes time for both sleep and for stress-reducing activities. Improve your health from the
inside out this New Year. By focusing on boosting your immunity as a goal, you will naturally adopt healthy habits.

to manage pain, inflammation, and a number of other health conditions, without the need for painful injections, medications or surgeries. Laser Therapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses light energy (photons) for tissue healing and pain reduction. The light energy penetrates deeply into damaged cells
and stimulates cellular activity. As a result of exposure to the laser, the cells of tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves repair themselves. Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Once the cells recover, the healing process is complete.

Scott Hirons, Falmouth District, said: “I don’t want to disrupt existing schools’ worlds but want to make it as easy as possible for students who need to be moved, too.” A work session is also planned for later this month to discuss high school redistricting options for SCPS. Also at the meeting, the school board: • approved the addition of two earlychildhood special education teachers, two paraprofessionals and two hourly paraprofessional full-time equivalent positions for a preschool program. • approved a change order in the amount of more than $180,000 for storm drainage improvements in support of a classroom/health/physical education and fine arts addition project at Mountain View High School, using Virginia Public School Authority funds. • unanimously approved the implementation of a program evaluation, which is meant to ensure the mission, vision and goals of SCPS are implemented with fidelity. It seeks to understand whether or not various programs are accomplishing what they set out to do. In other education news, Stafford County Public Schools announced Tuesday that Niche, which researches K-12 schools, recently recognized SCPS as a 2017 Best School Division. Niche ranked SCPS No. 18 of 131 divi-
sions in Virginia. “This is exciting news for Stafford County Public Schools,” said Holly Hazard, chairwoman for the Stafford County School Board. “These rankings express what we already know about our school division. Stafford County is one of the best places to live, learn and teach. Our teachers, administrators and staff inspire and empower students to succeed. We are very pleased with the rankings from Niche.” SCPS earned the ranking by scoring highly on a variety of factors including SAT/ACT scores, student-teacher ratio, the quality of colleges students consider and reviews from students and parents. The statistical data used in the ranking was obtained from the U.S. Department of Education and analyzed by Niche’s team of data scientists to create the 2017 rankings. In addition to this recognition, SCPS ranked as the No. 5 Safest School Division in Virginia, No. 26 Best Place to Teach in Virginia and No. 1,075 of 10,364 Best School Divisions in America. Niche is a website that helps people discover the schools and neighborhoods that are right for them. The company rigorously analyzes dozens of public data sets and millions of reviews to produce comprehensive rankings, report cards, and profiles for every K-12 school, college, and neighborhood in the United States.

Ravenel, JMU prepare for national semifinals » DAVID DRIVER
For InsideNoVa
Brandon Ravenel is an all-Colonial Athletic Association receiver who caught just two passes even though his team scored 65 points in Harrisonburg on Dec. 9 against Sam Houston State, ranked as the No. 1 team in the country. But that is just fine for North Stafford High graduate Ravenel, whose team is headed to the FCS semifinals on Friday, Dec. 16 against five-time defending champion North Dakota State. The Dukes crushed Sam Houston State 65-7 before a national television audience on ESPN3 and nearly 16,000 very cold fans on a night the temperature dipped into the 20s in Harrisonburg. “Not many people get to do it. There are only four teams playing in FCS,” Ravenel said after practice Monday. “There are very few games in the level above us” in the coming week. Ravenel has a team-high 44 catches for 708 yards and five touchdowns this year. But he has also been used on special teams and has returned nine kickoffs for head coach Mike Houston, a first-year JMU mentor who had been at The Citadel. “I will fill in at any spots he wants me to,” Ravenel said. “If he does want me on special teams it is for a reason. I trust him with anything.”
teams. He is a big-time gamer for us.” In the previous two seasons JMU lost in its first playoff game. Now the Dukes are still alive and the only CAA team left. Last year JMU, Richmond and William & Mary shared the CAA title and this year the Dukes were 8-0 in conference play to win it. Now they have a big task at North Dakota State. “It is truly a blessing. The great thing about football is every year is a new year,” Ravenel said. “They are a great football team. At the same time we are a very good football team as well. We are not going to shy away from it. We are going to give it our best shot.” And that is true on special teams. “A lot of people may overlook special teams, but it’s one of the biggest (things) on the field. We look at special teams for momentum boosters and we feed off of them when big plays happen. They play a key role in big games like this,” said Davis, a graduate of Charlottesville High. The Dukes (12-1) will need to be firing on all three cylinders when they play at North Dakota State (121) on Friday night in the FCS semifinals. The winner will advance to the title game on Jan. 7 in Frisco, Texas, against the survivor of Eastern Washington and Youngstown State, who play Saturday. David Driver can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.
Colonial Forge High graduate David Ezeagwu, a junior linebacker for JMU, had three tackles against Sam Houston State and has 18 this season in 13 games. JMU has watched film of North Dakota over the weekend after the Dukes won at home against Sam Houston State. “I know they are a very good team,” Ravenel said of North Dakota State, which beat South Dakota State on Saturday to advance. The Dukes had advanced after also winning at home the previous weekend against New Hampshire, another member of the powerful Colonial Athletic Association. Richmond, another team out of the CAA, lost on Saturday at Eastern Washington in their quarterfinal game. JMU has been aided by the play of its special teams, as Rashard Davis returned a punt for a touchdown in the first quarter Friday to give the Dukes a 21-0 lead over Sam Houston State. It was the fourth time this this year Davis scored on a punt return. “They bust their tails really hard,” Ravenel said of the special teams. “It is a mix of coaches stressing it and guys taking it to heart.” That is certainly the case for Davis. “He is a great teammate and a better person,” Ravenel added of Davis. “He inspires me as a receiver and on special
