Stafford 6-year-old boy to play at Carnegie Hall

TRACY BELL

Stafford County Sun

6-year-old Stafford County boy, Enzo Zhao, will play the piano at New York City’s famed Carnegie Hall on Easter Sunday. Enzo, who attends second grade at Saint William of York Catholic School in North Stafford, earned the right to play there following his performance at American Protégé’s Fall 2015 International Music Talent Competition, where he received an honorable mention. Enzo began taking piano lessons the summer of 2014, according to his piano teacher, Susan Flinn. Flinn, who owns The Music Studio in mid-Stafford, said that Enzo also takes violin and guitar lessons from two other teachers at the studio. She described him as “pretty amazing,” noting that he is a fun, sweet child, very well-mannered and humble. Last year, Enzo’s family vacationed at Walt Disney World in Florida and Enzo voluntarily took his violin with him and practiced each day, she said. “He loves music,” she added. Enzo’s mother, Zhenzhen Wu, said that her son is “usually excited about recitals” and is definitely excited to play at Carnegie Hall. His talent, she said, came naturally. “When he was 1 or 2 years old, I played a little bit of keyboard for him, and he liked it,” she said. When he was 4½, she and Enzo’s father, Derek Zhao, sent him to learn to play the piano from a professional and his skill and interest blossomed. Enzo speaks Mandarin and Cantonese, along with English. He also enjoys playing soccer.

The international music competition was open to instrumentalists of all kinds, vocalists and traditional folk and jazz groups. The instrumentalists ran the gamut from playing the piano, wind instruments, or strings to brass and traditional. At Carnegie, Enzo will be playing the Sonatina in E Minor, Opus 157 No. 8, by Fritz Spindler. Enzo competed at the Rappahannock Music Society’s Jazz, Rags & Blues Festival at Mary Washington University

in Fredericksburg, Flinn said. There, he received a superior rating and a blue ribbon. Enzo also played the piano at the Young Artists 2016 Competition in Fredericksburg in January, Flinn noted. “That competition is largely based on level of repertoire,” she said, and Enzo did not make the final cut. He did, however, gain more experience to help him perform on the Carnegie stage. Tracy Bell can be reached at info@ staffordcountysun.com.

Supervisors scold school board for wanting more

TRACY BELL

Stafford County Sun

empers flared Tuesday at a Stafford County Board of Supervisors meeting when board members expressed their displeasure at the county’s school board for adding another $1.7 million in requested funding to the superintendent’s proposed request. SCPS Superintendent Bruce Benson requested a $1.2 million increase, and the school board added the extra amount, seeking 100 new positions within the schools system. School board member Scott Hirons, Falmouth District, spoke for the school board Tuesday, explaining the importance of reducing class sizes. But supervisors didn’t appreciate the extra request, especially at the last minute when they have such little time to complete their budget, they said. Supervisor Gary Snellings, R-Hartwood, was especially irritated: “…Here you are at the 11th hour coming over and saying you want another $1.7 million and not giving this board one opportunity — not one — to say, ‘Give us a couple weeks to think about it.” Snellings said that the school board must be getting class-size questions. Knowing that the board of supervisors would turn down the request, the school board still tacked on the extra funding knowing the board of supervisors would “look like the bad guys,” he said. Hirons said that was not the school board’s intention. “You know I’m right,” Snellings said, telling Hirons he SCHOOLS PAGE 9 resents the situation,

The Stafford County School Board has a new vision and mission, as well as updated core values and goals. The plan is expected to guide the schools system’s academics and operations path for the next five years beginning with the 2016-17 school year. The new framework, adopted at the March 8 meeting, replaces the school division’s current five-year strategic plan, according to a school board release. “Our community’s voices and desires are truly reflected in this new strategic plan framework that will prepare the students of Stafford County Public Schools for success in college, careers and life,” said school board Chairman Holly Hazard, Hartwood District. “I deeply appreciate all of the input and the dedicated members of the Strategic Planning Steering Committee who have provided leadership and wisdom as we worked together to shape the future of our school system.” The new set of core values or beliefs focus on learners, community,

excellence and respect. The schools system’s new vision is: “Stafford County Public Schools is a dynamic, goal-oriented learning community committed to preparing our students for success in further education, work and citizenship.” The new mission is to “inspire and empower all learners to thrive.” The four goals the school board plans to focus on include student achievement, work force, resource stewardship and communication. In September 2015, SCPS Superintendent Bruce Benson discussed identifying critical issues that a schools system must address to provide value to its constituents. The Strategic Planning Steering Committee drew feedback from constituents and created the draft core values, vision, mission and goals for the school board to consider. Advisory groups, students, parents, teachers, employees, the community and business partners were invited to respond to these seven questions: §§ What do you believe should be the primary purpose of Stafford

There was all the pressure of a network TV game show like “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” — and no lifelines. Germanna Community College nursing students proved they can stay cool under that kind of pressure and respond with the kind of knowledge that could be crucial to saving lives in the real world. Contestants dressed in colorful costumes and multiple choice questions flashed on giant screens as anthem rock blared over the sound system with an audience of about 400 at the Daniel Technology Center last Friday in Culpeper. During the event, multiple choice questions about medical diagnoses and treatments were flashed on the big screens and teams had one minute to confer and respond. Nursing students Faith Howlin, Nicole Ward, Hannah Miller, Margaret Walsh and Heather Curtis won a tight championship round that included numerous tie-breaker questions. The game show was a fun way to prepare for the National Council Licensure Examination, a nationwide test for licensing that all nursing students must take after graduation from college programs.

The campaign advocates that religion is a driving force meant to unite all people and should allow for freedom of conscience. This belief stems from the Holy Quran, which clarifies that “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:257).

Household tools: • Scissors, tweezers, nail clippers (pet and human), and nail file Common first-aid products: • Sterile gauze bandages and sponges - for bandaging, wrapping and padding splits • Cotton balls and cotton swabs • Baby wipes and hand sanitizer • Ace bandage (self adhering) and/or vet wrap - a veterinary product that clings to itself and holds bandages in place • Wrist and finger splints • Latex gloves • Hot/cold packs • Syringe and eye dropper • Styptic powder - to stop bleeding • Rectal thermometer and petroleum jelly • Hydrogen peroxide, rubbing alcohol, triple antibiotic ointment and hydrocortisone • Saline solution for use as eye wash Be sure to check with your veterinarian before using any human overthe-counter medications on your pet.

However, it is wise to have medications such as diphenhydramine (aka Benedryl) for allergic reactions, buffered children’s aspirin and anti-diarrhea medications in case your veterinarian advises such use. Other items that may come in handy are a flashlight to help you see some hard-to-reach areas, tick removal tool, a muzzle since pets in pain sometimes bite without meaning to and blankets for added warmth to help prevent a pet from going into shock. The items in your kit should be kept in a durable, secure, waterproof, airtight container. Remember, a first-aid kit will only be useful if you familiarize yourself with the various items and know how and when to use them. Most importantly, while they are great for treating minor injuries when out in the field, in emergencies they should only be used on the way to proper and qualified medical attention, not instead of.

MARCH 2016 | SPRING HOME IMPROVEMENT GUIDE

Tips to get ready for buying a home this season

uyer-friendly 30-year fixed mortgage rates and an improving job market are good news for spring homebuyers this season. Yet, even with these favorable conditions, many home purchase contracts will get held up at closing by financial issues. This doesn’t have to be the case. There are several things you can do before and after submitting a contract to help make sure you walk away from the closing table with the keys to your new home in hand. Freddie Mac Senior Vice President Christina Boyle recommends doing the following before seriously hunting for a home this spring: • Learn your current credit history

and score. You don’t want any surprises down the road. If you have no credit history, or have had credit problems in the past, you can take steps to build, improve, and maintain strong credit. Contact a HUD-approved housing counselor for free advice. • Talk to your lender about applying for a mortgage and getting a preapproval letter. This letter gives an estimate of how much you might be able to borrow, and demonstrates to home sellers that you’re a serious buyer. • Understand your options. Don’t assume you won’t have enough for a down payment or won’t qualify

for a mortgage without 20 percent down. In fact, about 40 percent of today`s homebuyers are making down payments of less than 10 percent, according to research from Zelman & Associates. And new products, like the Freddie Mac Home Possible Advantage mortgage, offer down payment options as low as three percent for qualified borrowers. • Gather your documentation. Expect your lender to request documentation verifying your income (W-2 forms, tax returns, and employment records), credit history, and assets (such as bank statements to verify your savings).

After signing a purchase contract but before closing, Boyle recommends doing the following: • Don’t take on more debt or make large cash purchases. Resist the temptation to take out new loans or open new credit cards. This could affect your credit profile and may require the lender to resubmit your mortgage application to verify you still qualify. Also, substantial cash purchases may make your mortgage company question whether you can really afford monthly payments. • Meet your lender’s deadlines. Heed deadlines for providing documentation or information. A missed deadline could delay the closing, which may require you either to pay more to extend the mortgage terms you locked in when you submitted the application or, in the worst case, reapply for the mortgage. Buying a home can be intimidating without knowledge. For more tips and resources on buying a home, visit the consumer education site, My Home by Freddie Mac, at MyHome.FreddieMac. com. With preparation, you can help ensure your homebuying process goes off without a hitch. (StatePoint)

Top tips to ease

common bathroom pet peeves

Si F te RE V E is it s

e leaves the toilet seat up. She scatters make-up on the counter. If you’re like most Americans, you love your mate - but you don’t always love their daily bathroom habits. So what are the things that really drive men and women crazy in the bathroom? Moen Incorporated found out. During an online consumer survey, Moen’s research team pulled back the shower curtain to find out consumers’ pet peeves in the bathroom and what they’d most like to change about this room. Luckily, with a few updates in the bath, you can easily remedy many of these problem areas and create a more

harmonious bathroom situation. PAPER PET PEEVES

Although there is a battle of the sexes on many fronts, both men and women united in citing their number one pet peeve is not replacing the toilet paper when it runs out. In fact, 42 percent of women and 31 percent of men stated this as the single biggest complaint. Eliminate the frustration of empty paper rolls by adding a pivoting paper holder. Designed by Inspirations by Moen, this innovative accessory features a spring-free, pivoting arm allowing you to simply lift the arm and drop on the roll. This quick and simple step will help eliminate your paper pet

ing storage doesn’t have to involve a major renovation. The addition of accessories, such as shelves, towel bars and towel rings can take toiletries and towels off the counter and onto the wall. Plus, with stylish collections available in a variety of on-trend finishes, such as the new Addington and Ridgedale collections from Inspirations by Moen, you’ll also add a beautiful style update to your bath. FREE THE FLOOR

When it comes to messy floors, it’s the bottom of the room - but not the bottom of the survey. In fact, 19 percent of men and 22 percent of females state that leaving dirty clothes on the bathroom floor is a top annoyance in the bath. And for households with children, leaving wet towels or dirty clothes on the floor are the two top responses (33 percent each). Freeing the floor can be simple. Choose coordinating

bathroom woes was the size of the bath (45 percent want to make the bathroom larger) and the shower (37 percent want to enhance their shower). By adding one product to your shower, you can relieve both bath ailments! Curved shower rods, previously only seen in luxury hotels, are simple to install and can add up to 7 1/2 inches of elbow room in the shower - while also adding elegant style to the room. Inspirations by Moen offers a curved shower rod that adjusts to fit enclosures from 54-to-72 inches wide. The rods are available in today’s hottest finishes - Brushed Nickel, Chrome and Old World Bronze.

Decorate your home with natural light

SPRING HOME IMPROVEMENT GUIDE | MARCH 2016

ne of today’s most popular home design features is more natural light, flooding through windows and dramatically flowing through skylights. And as the green building and remodeling movement gains momentum, energy-efficient venting skylights that offer no-cost passive ventilation are getting more attention from architects and designers. “I love the drama of skylights,” says Priscilla Ulmann, founder of the New York design firm, Scott-Ulmann, Inc. “There’s nothing like walking into a room drenched in natural light with a view of the sky.” According to Joe Patrick, senior product manager with VELUX America, skylights provide 30 percent more light than vertical windows of the same size while creating the drama Ulmann cites. “From a decorating standpoint, skylights don’t use wall space, creating an even greater sense of openness while lighting

and ventilating homes,” Patrick says. Modern, ENERGY STAR qualified skylights share all the energy-efficient qualities of vertical windows, including double pane construction with argon gas-filled, low-e glass and wooden frames for superior insulation. Additionally, skylights can be opened and closed or lightened and darkened using a remote control. They can even include moisture sensors that close them automatically in case of rain. With an increasing number of large homes being built on small lots, privacy is becoming more of an issue. “Light from windows is rarely enough, especially in places where lot sizes are small,” says Jennifer Powers of Scott-Ulmann. A recent National Home Shopper’s Survey conducted by the National Association of Homebuilders supports that observation, finding that 65 percent of homebuyers request skylights in their bathrooms, where privacy is of the utmost importance.

Venting skylights leave wall space for decorating while providing energy efficient natural light and passive ventilation. SUBMITTED

Kitchens are also prime spots for venting skylights. There they utilize their natural chimney effect to exhaust moist, heated air and cooking odors from the home. For free information on the benefits of natural light and skylight selection, or for house plans incorporating skylights,

Mountain View’s Hall takes the extra step

DAVID STEGON

For the Stafford County Sun

Mountain View baseball coach Craig Lopez admits it’s hard for him to relinquish control, but sometimes it’s necessary for him to find out the dedication of his players. Following two below-average scrimmages, Lopez told his team they had the weekend off from practice, even though some extra time was sorely needed heading into the team’s first regular season games. “Of course I wanted to practice,” Lopez said, “but I wanted to see how they reacted.” With a handful of former Mountain View players home on spring break, this year’s group, which includes seven returning starters and 11 seniors, got together. What started as just a talk turned into a full-blown practice without the coaches. “Coach always tells us to take the reins of our future,” said Dylan Hall, the team’s top pitcher. “He doesn’t always want to dictate what happens, so it’s on us to take those extra steps if we want success.” Hall enters the season as one of the Wildcats’ key players. The 6-foot-5-inch senior verbally committed to Virginia

Tech as just a sophomore. With some development this season, Lopez thinks he could be drafted into pro baseball. He’s also one of the team’s quiet leaders. “He comes from an incredibly hardworking family,” Lopez said. “He has the same demeanor if we’re up 20 runs or down 20 runs, which is something I preach to all our players. He has put in the effort, both on the field and in the classroom, and he’s seeing the results of that work combined with his talent.” Hall is a self-described power pitcher, mixing four-seem and two-seam fastball with a slider he calls his best pitch. He’s also continuing to work on a change-up that he wants to improve this season. His favorite major league pitcher is Adam Wainwright of the St. Louis Cardinals, a player he said goes about his business with a calm coolness that he tries to replicate. “The goal this season is to make states and win a ring,” Hall said. “That’s always the top goal. Individually, I want to improve the command of all four pitches and just stay focused and stay hungry.” Mountain View made regionals last season, so a state title run could be in the cards. Hall knows too that he’ll likely get the ball in pressure-packed games, but he’s not looking ahead.

Mountain View High School senior Dylan Hall has signed with Virginia Tech.

DAVID FAWCETT | STAFFORD COUNTY SUN

“It’s a step-by-step process to get there,” he said. From a coaching standpoint, Lopez, a former minor league pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles, simply wants to put his players in a position to succeed. He said he trusts Hall and his catcher, Alex Smith, more than other batteries he’s had in the past, allowing them to call their own games.

“We want the best for every player,” Lopez said. “I’ve had a lot of these kids since they were freshman, and they’re learning that it takes more than just wanting it. They need to go beyond that. If the initiative they took with that practice continues, then we’re going to have a phenomenal season.” Dave Stegon can be reached at info@ staffordcountysun.com.

Colonial Forge grad obsessed with beach, picks Charleston DAVID DRIVER

For the Stafford County Sun

Bri Sullivan was a four-year letter winner at Colonial Forge High and helped the Eagles win two commonwealth titles and one state semifinal appearance. She was part of a program that went 89-14 and had an unbeaten record her junior season until falling in the state semifinals. Sullivan was a second-team allconference player as a senior and led the team in blocks and rebounds as a junior. Sullivan also played soccer and made a pair of all-star teams. Her college options in terms of basketball were varied, as she had interest in the likes of Division I College of Charleston, Cornell and William & Mary to Queens College to Division III Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. In the end Sullivan decided to attend the College of Charleston, a member of the Richmond-based Colonial Athletic Association. She said her love of the beach was a big factor in the decision to attend school near the Atlantic Ocean. “It seemed like a no-brainer,” she said of attending the College of Charleston. “I am really obsessed with the beach.” She is undecided on a major but has expressed interest in communications. And what about the Eagles of Mary Washington?

College of Charleston, the No. 8 seed, led by 14 points after the first quarter but lost, 53-50, in the upset bid against the No. 1 seed. Sullivan did not play against JMU. The Cougars Bri Sullivan, left, says that rebounding is definitely one of her strengths. ended the season AL SAMUELS 11-19 overall. “It was too close to home,” Sullivan “JMU is a very good team,” Sullivan said with a smile after No.8 seed College said of a team that won the CAA title in of Charleston beat No. 9 seed UNC- 2014 and 2015 under head coach Kenny Wilmington 71-62 on March 9 in the Brooks, a former player at Waynesboro first round of the CAA tournament in High in Virginia.

Stetson via Woodbridge; Jazmon “Rebounding is definitely one of my Gwathmey (Liberty High); and Kayla

Cooper-Williams (Hylton High), a freshman center from Dumfries. On March 5 against regular-season champion James Madison, Sullivan had three rebounds in 11 minutes off the bench in a loss to the Dukes. “She has gotten a lot better,” College of Charleston head coach Candice M. Jackson said of Sullivan. “She is learning. Bri has a really nice outside shot.” Sullivan is part of a freshman class that included Darien Huff, Shambria Washington and Dajah Logan. Sullivan is the only team member from Virginia. The 6-foot-1 freshman forward is the daughter of Joe and Janet Sullivan. Her aunt played basketball at Charleston Southern, and her sister has played basketball at Colonial Forge. Sullivan had five points against Charlotte on Dec. 8, 2015, and five rebounds in two regular-season games, including against Charleston Southern. The Cougars were 10-18 overall in regular-season play and 5-12 in CAA play. Sullivan played in 20 of the 28 games with two starts and averaged 8.1 minutes and 1.3 rebounds and 1.7 points per contest in regular-season action. “It was actually really difficult at first,” she said of coming off the bench after starting in high school.

but making it clear that his feelings are directed at the school board as a whole, not specifically Hirons. Snellings was also miffed about a budget-related comment Hirons made about “keeping the lights on” in Stafford County Public Schools. Snellings took issue with it, noting what a fine schools system Stafford actually has. Supervisor Jack Cavalier, R-GriffisWidewater, agreed, noting: “I don’t know how you can’t be satisfied” with what Benson proposed. “To ask for more — it’s a hard pill to swallow for us.” Supervisor Paul Milde, R-Aquia, told Hirons: “It looks like you came over with one request and it was warmly received

sent by the NWS to National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration Weather Radios, which will sound a tone alert and show a test message (or flash to indicate a message) to simulate what people would hear or see during an actual tornado warning. Local radio stations, TV stations and cable outlets will broadcast the test message via the Emergency Alert System. Registration for the tornado drill is not necessary, but participants can learn more and show their support by signing up at www.ReadyVirginia.gov. In recent years, 1 million Virginians have signed up for the drill. so you thought you should ask for more. … Frankly, it was a little shocking to at least some of us.” PROPOSED TAX RATE

Also at the meeting, the supervisors unanimously agreed to advertise a realestate tax rate of 99 cents per $100 of assessed value. Currently, the tax rate is $1.019 per $100 of assessed value. Supervisors also agreed to advertise County Administrator Anthony Romanello’s proposed budget, which accepts Benson’s $1.2 million increase request. Next, a public hearing will be held to gather public input about the proposed rate and advertised budget. Tracy Bell can be reached at tbell@ staffordcountysun.com.
