Mike’s 610 Diner closes
CHRISTMAS PARADE
TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
A
beloved diner in Stafford County closed its doors Sunday after close to 14 years in business. The staff at Mike’s 610 Diner served its last customer at 2 p.m., ending an era when the business shut down for the day — and for good. Mike’s Diner owner Adolfo Urrutia, longtime employees and fiercely loyal customers were there that last day. The diner, a small homey eatery situated on Garrisonville Road, is closing due to planned widening of the road in 2017, when four lanes will be expanded to six. The county negotiated with multiple businesses along the road, with some agreeing to relocate while others lost some frontage. Several businesses fought the change more than others, including Mike’s Diner, which featured a sign on its property urging: “Save Mike’s Diner From Condemnation.” Rebuilding from scratch and remodeling was not an option for the business, the owner decided, but he’s been open to purchasing a restaurant to start anew. Some talk of a possible location in Manassas is making the social media rounds, but the owner has not publicly confirmed any plans to relocate in Stafford or elsewhere. Staff members first thought that the diner would close in March 2017, and recently learned they had just days until the business would close its doors. On the diner’s Facebook page, customers and staff posted about the last emotional day, noting that they would miss the camaraderie, the homey, small-town feel of the restaurant and the top-notch food.
The weather was a bit more cooperative for the second annual Stafford County Christmas Parade that wound its way from Brooke Point High School to the Stafford Hospital Medical Pavilion on Dec. 17. The cavalcade of floats, musicians, scouts and singers culminated with greetings from Santa and Mrs. Claus. FOR MORE PHOTOS, TURN TO PAGE 7 OR VISIT INSIDENOVA.COM. SUBMITTED
Military dad surprises first-grader Deployed parent shows up at school as Santa Claus TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
A
military father surprised his 6-year-old son at Stafford County’s Widewater Elementary School, dressed conspicuously as Santa Claus. U.S. Marine Corps Staff Sgt. David Rescott returned home after a 10-month deployment to Kuwait and surprised his son, Jackson Rescott, in his first-grade classroom on Dec. 16.
Jenny Taylor teaches the class and invited Santa Claus to read a story to her students, but what was really in the works would bring happy tears to those watching. Jackson’s mother, Ashley Rescott, worked with the school to plan the surprise. Students and staff in the room stood by that day for what would come next. When asked what he wanted for Christmas, Jackson said an Xbox – and to see his dad. After story time, David Rescott, dressed as Santa Claus, slowly revealed his true identity. Jackson watched, not expecting to see his father, but aware that something
was going on, he told a reporter. David Rescott slowly removed his Santa hat, white hair and eyebrows as his son watched. When he realized Santa Claus was really his father, the stunned student smiled in awe, mouth ajar in disbelief. He hugged his father tightly, overjoyed. Jackson said he thought it was “the real Santa” and didn’t suspect it was his dad. When his teacher told the class the mystery reader’s favorite color was red, he knew it wasn’t his dad because, Jackson said, his dad’s favorite color is orange. The family left soon after to spend time together before Christmas.

Marine stationed at Quantico killed in Stafford County crash One Marine stationed aboard Quantico base was killed and another injured in a single-vehicle crash in Stafford County, Virginia State Police said. The crash happened at 6:55 p.m. Dec. 17, on Onville Road about 200 feet north of Hulvey Drive, Virginia State Police Sgt. Les Tyler said. Police said a two-door, 2004 Pontiac was traveling south on Onville when it entered a curve, ran off the road and struck a tree, Tyler said. The vehicle then came back on the road, crossed onto the
other side of a roadway and came to rest in a ditch, Tyler said. The driver, Devon R. Strout, 20, of Milo, Maine, was thrown from the vehicle, Tyler said. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash, police said. Strout was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. His passenger, John Akins Jr. 22, of Quitman, Georgia, was taken to Mary Washington Hospital with injuries, police said. Speed was a factor in the crash, Tyler said.
Bar fight leads to multiple-felony arrest A Milford man was arrested on multiple felony charges Saturday after police responded to a fight at Mick’s Sports Bar on U.S. 1 in Stafford. STERLING Sterling For- D. FORTUNE tune, 33, was charged with being drunk in public.
A Stafford County Sheriff ’s office deputy ran a warrant check on Fortune and found that he was wanted in both Caroline and Spotsylvania counties on numerous charges. Fortune was also charged with public swearing and intoxication, sexual battery, inanimate object penetration, breaking and entering, and shoplifting. He was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.
Unpaid cab fare results in drunk-in-public charge A Stafford woman was charged with being drunk in public after failing to pay a taxi driver her fare, according to the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. On Saturday about 2 a.m., Sydney Lynn Bailey, 24, of Deacon Road, rode in a taxi from Live Casino in Arundel Mills, Maryland, to Stafford. She did not pay her $224.75 fare, according to the driver. Sheriff ’s Deputy K.J. Simpson responded to the intersection of Town and Country Drive and Sierra Drive in Stafford, according to M.C. Morris Moncure, public information officer for the sheriff ’s office. Bailey planned to pay the fare by credit card, according to the driver.
When the driver arrived at Bailey’s destination, she said she had no money, got out of the cab and ran away. She fled behind a row of nearby townhouses, police said. Simpson and the driver walked along the path where the passenger had run and found her standing outside a residence on Kensington Drive. When she saw them approaching, she attempted to quickly walk away but was subsequently taken into custody, police said. Bailey was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail. The magistrate’s office declined to issue a warrant for procuring a vehicle with intent to defraud.
Domestic leads to arrest on U.S. 1 A man who police say fired a shot into a home was arrested Dec. 19 on U.S. 1. Rodolfo Linares, III, 62, of Skyline Drive, was charged with attempted aggravated malicious wounding, shooting into an occupied dwelling, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and breaking
and entering while armed. The incident appeared to be domestic in nature, according to M.C. Morris Moncure, public information officer for the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. Linares was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on no bond.

The recent Republican Advance in Richmond set the stage for the 2017 gubernatorial race. While Democrats evaluate their outreach failures “trumped” DANIEL CORTEZ by the president-elect, conservatives attempt to stay united. I was at most functions at the Richmond Omni Hotel observing a crow-fest of Virginia’s most active Republicans led by RPV Chairman John Whitbeck. Former presidential candidate and businesswoman Carly Fiorina, along with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christy, attended, applauding President-elect Trump’s actions and appointments. Impressive was even the chairman’s afterparty Saturday evening attended by a number of millennial and multi-ethnic faces generally missing from party events. The Trump outreach effect had longtime establishment conservatives elated and some acknowledging how the president-elect probably didn’t need the Republican Party; it’s the party desperately needing Trump’s unorthodox grassroots, independent appeal that brought out millions of first- time voters for him. Even as part of an uplifting message from revered former governor and Sen. George Allen to attendees, he reminded, “It wasn’t helpful to have players on our own team heckling from the dugout our candidate at bat.” Thus, the need to stay unified and build on the historic upset victory by having the wings of a now broad and diverse team to “flap in the same direction.” Allen was a staple on the Fox News network, repeatedly providing advice and support to Trump the candidate while encouraging Republicans to follow suit. That was demonstrated by First District Congressman Rob Wittman who
took himself out of the running as a gubernatorial candidate, seeing more service and hopeful opportunity as part of the Trump administration committed to regulatory reduction. Wittman is rumored to be the top contender for chairman of the Sea Power Projection Forces Sub Committee should Trump appoint departing Rep. J. Randy Forbes (R-Va.) secretary of the Navy. The higher than expected independent and minority appeal to Trump’s message Election Day needs continued nurturing by use of surrogates like South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott who was the advance banquet speaker. Scott’s moving message of a struggling black impoverished youth who was guided by strong conservative mentor John Moniz was moving and hopefully emboldens conservatives to appoint qualified leaders to the administration like Luis Quinonez, a Vietnam veteran and businessman, from Virginia’s growing diverse community. On Tuesday Quinonez met with Trump in Florida to discuss a possible appointment as secretary of Veterans Affairs. And it was diversity coupled with the lack of transparency and parity on both sides of the aisle that was problematic this election cycle. Democrats were dealt a death blow by minorities and millennials who stayed home upset over the clear bias against Sen. Bernie Sanders during the primary. Republicans were outraged over the slating done during their Virginia State Convention with attempts to stack support for Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. Responsibly during the Advance, the Republican State Central Committee addressed the slating issue in a proposed amendment from Northern Virginia’s Sandy Liddy Bourne that would prevent the practice, seen as a deterrent to bringing in minorities and independents to conservative ranks. Perhaps one of the biggest issues for voters next year will be what gubernato-

rial candidates will suggest to responsibly aid the indigent and immigrant community when Trump dismantles Obamacare as he has pledged to do. Leading Republican gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie must demonstrate compassion and a responsible platform once “Trump Med” is revealed in totality. Debates between Gillespie; Prince William Supervisor Corey Steward, the controversial Trump Virginia chairman who was terminated for insubordination; Virginia Beach candidate state Sen. Frank Wagner; and soon to announce candidate Denver Riggleman, who co-owns Silverback Distillery in Nelson County; must present a viable state response to the community most affected by expected administration cuts to health care. Presentation will again be everything for Democrats and Republicans this election cycle. As spin doctors feverishly worked advance hospitality rooms with extensive libations and fare to impress epicureans, a candidate’s voting record could only be spun so far. Stewart’s stunt of an AR-15 rifle giveaway as part of a fundraising push sadly sent the wrong message. Better optics like those repeatedly presented by Allen and reinforced by Scott need to be on education and embracing America as a meritocracy. Imagine how independents and minorities in need would view political parties if candidates or politicians actually inspired our youth with a “scholarship” or educational grant like the “George Allen Scholarship” now being provided by the Appalachian School of Law in Grundy. For both sides of the aisle hoping to occupy the mansion next year, the focus should be on positive outreach and education… not guns.

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT
So long, Yahoo; it’s been fun It’s tough ending a 22-year relationship. Trust was broken not once, but at least twice. And while ultimately confessions were made, it was not MARK STOUT until years later — after it was too late to repair the damage. Thankfully I had ultimately moved on to something younger and flashier. I’m talking about Yahoo. In September they confessed they had been hacked, and half a billion accounts were exposed. If that wasn’t bad enough, they confessed the penetration had occurred two years earlier in 2014. And then just last week, they announced a possible one billion more accounts had been violated. Worse, that penetration had occurred in 2013 and Yahoo didn’t find out until the U.S. government found out and let them know last month. From both hacks, hackers stole names, birthdates, phone numbers and even passwords that were encrypted with a weak encryption technique. Are you one of the one billion monthly users of Yahoo? I am. I started using Yahoo soon after they began in 1994. The web was smaller then. If you created a web site, you submitted the link to Yahoo.
There, actual humans looked at your site and categorized it into Yahoo’s index. Of course the web grew astonishingly fast, so that human indexing method failed to scale with the net. Soon little bits of code were crawling the net doing the indexing first, with companies like Alta Vista and ultimately today’s behemoth, Google. Yahoo moved to web crawling in 2000. In 1997 Yahoo began offering Yahoo Mail, a free webmail service. For many years it was my primary email account. Even when I began using Gmail from Google, I kept Yahoo Mail. Many of my utility companies were still tied to that since that was the email I was using when we bought our home. So what do we Yahoo users do now? The first inclination is to close our Yahoo accounts and walk away. That would actually be a mistake. If you close your Yahoo Mail account your username will ultimately be recycled and used by another user. In fact, the hackers may watch for them to be freed up so they can register them. That way any future emails to that account from someone who does not know you are no longer using it, will go instead to the hacker and give them information. Instead, change your password to a hard to remember password. Replace that “funguy3” password with something like
“djfdkf893jd%%2ss-g8uqd.” You won’t be accessing Yahoo much anymore, so put that password somewhere safe where you can paste it into Yahoo in the future. Or better yet, begin using a password vault application. If you are not a LastPass user, or other respected password vault application, this is a good time to begin. Next, keep an eye on your credit report. Hackers can use information they glean from the hack to create new credit accounts. Did you use the Yahoo password on any other account? Most of us re-use passwords on many different sites. Change those passwords now. Another thing hackers got was answers to your secret questions. They may now know your mother’s maiden name, the name of your first-grade teacher, the name of your first pet, etc. They can use that information to get the password for your other accounts and, worse, change the passwords so you cannot get in. The best practice with those secret questions is to lie. Make your first grade teacher “peanut butter,” your first pet’s
name “psychedelic.” Write down those responses somewhere and never answer the same question the same way on any account. For best security and to incentivize other companies to spend time and money on security, open another email account elsewhere. If Yahoo’s traffic plummets, other companies will understand it is important to prioritize security. Also, the Yahoo email account now has negative panache. Using it will have people believing your technical skills are less than they are. On this week’s Link post are some steps to take to download your email and photos you have on Yahoo’s photo site Flickr. Get your information off Yahoo, harden your password, get a new email account, let anyone who has the Yahoo address know your new email address. Finally, periodically monitor Yahoo for new messages. For links mentioned in the column or to share this column online, go to www.FamilyTechOnline.com. For Mark’s contact information, visit markstout.info on the web.

North Stafford boys basketball has high aspirations » DAVID STEGON
For InsideNova
In the 35 years since North Stafford High School opened, the boys basketball team has never made the state tournament. New coach Steve Hibberd believes this could be the year that finally happens. Coming off an appearance in the regional playoffs, the Wolverines feature a wealth of talent that Hibberd wants to maximize. He’s installed an up tempo offense and a more aggressive defensive scheme that will take advantage of both North Stafford’s athleticism and depth. “North Stafford is a traditional football power and there are a lot of kids that can take their skills from football and use them on the basketball floor,” Hibberd said. “For a new coach, this is a fantastic opportunity.” A former assistant at Stafford High School, Hibberd led Huntington High School in West Virginia to the AAA state title in 2014, the highest classification of high school competition. Now back in the area, Hibberd believes this North Stafford roster has the potential to make the state tournament for the first time in school history. He already set expectations high, giving the players shirts with the year 1981 written on the front – signifying the year the school opened. “We want to play at [Virginia Commonwealth] and make the state tournament. That is our goal,” Hibberd said.
“We want our players to get noticed and to play in those types of games. I think we have the talent and the depth to do that if things play out like I hope.” Hibberd’s roster includes football standout Nana Asiedu at center. A day after Asiedu received a scholarship offer from Ohio State, he scored 30 points and grabbed 15 rebounds in a close loss to Edison High School. Hibberd joked he would send Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer a fruit basket if he encourages football recruits to play other sports. Getting Asiedu the ball is point guard Jonathan Bonney, a superfast player that Hibberd says can quickly go north and south with the ball. Already this season he’s shown an explosive scoring touch, hitting six three-pointers in a single quarter. Helping Bonney is the back court is Corian Window, another explosive scorer from the outside. In the team’s first five games this season, there have been four different leading scorers, giving Hibberd the versatility he wants in the lineup. “The players are soaking up everything we give them like sponges,” HIbberd said. “We want to challenge them early in the season, playing tough out of conference games. As an incoming coach, there is a lot of potential here.” Dave Stegon can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

White does it all for Lynchburg basketball
Hornets won the ODAC title last season, thanks in part to versatile North Stafford grad » DAVID DRIVER
For InsideNoVa
Lyndon White admits that he began this season in somewhat of a shooting slump. But the North Stafford High School graduate knows there are other ways to help his team: the Division III Lynchburg Hornets of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. In his first eight games this season, he averaged 6.8 rebounds and 4.6 points per contest for the Hornets, the defending champions in the ODAC. “Coach [Hilliary Scott] has put me all over the court,” said White, who has played all five positions this year and in his college career. “It has been a rough start for me scoring-wise. I am not worried about my stats. We have so many weapons.” White is more concerned about the play of his team, which lost six seniors from last year’s title squad. White is one of only two seniors on the team who has been with the program four years. “I think we have six freshmen; we have a younger team. This year’s team is set to make their own legacy. Last year the seniors left a legacy.” Last season White played in 29 games, with 27 starts, and averaged a career-high 7.7 points per game and averaged 6.6 rebounds per contest, mostly as a point
guard. He led the team with 3.8 asSLYE NAMED ALL-ACC sists per game.
