he Stafford County School Board has approved Head Start’s enrollment in a program that will give more than 4,500 additional free meals to students. The school board agreed Aug. 9 to enroll its county Head Start program in the federal government’s Community Eligibility Provision, which works with highpoverty schools to provide breakfast and lunch at no cost to students. Individual household applications are not required and federal reimbursements are provided to the school based on the percentage of identified students. Enrollment in the program allows the Gari Melcher Education Complex to provide free breakfast and lunch to all students, according to discussion. “In the past, we have been able to serve a free breakfast and lunch to all students that were part of the Head Start program,” said Berkley Dunbrack, director of school nutrition for Stafford County Public Schools. “With this program, we are able to extend that status to any alternative education students that are in the building as well.” Meals are served family-style at Head Start, which “promotes the importance of sharing food as a community,” according to Dunbrack. “Students are much more likely to try something new if they see their peers eating it, and SCHOOL it allows them to further PAGE 13 develop social behaviors.

he movie theater is the next big attraction at The Garrison at Stafford — a new development planned off Garrisonville Road. According to Clark Leming, a lawyer speaking for the site’s development company, The Pence Group: “We’re anxious to move ahead.” Leming said that the deal with Regal Entertainment Group is “absolutely not final” but plans are looking good. “The Pences are very optimistic that they will be able to get the the-
ater open in the fall of 2017,” Leming said. Discussions are still ongoing with businesses considering calling the 500,000-square-foot, mixed-use community home; but part of the planned development includes a building that can be used as a movie theater, with Regal expected to become the tenant. On Tuesday, the Stafford County Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed to amendments to proffered conditions at the site, allowing for alternative building and parking layouts in addition to the originally approved layout. One amendment also would modify the
way building heights are measured on the site. The approved proposal will also allow for angled or parallel parking on the site. Initially referred to as Stafford Village, the mixed-use property consists of 45 acres and is located on the south side of Garrisonville Road at the intersection with Travis Lane in North Stafford. “We actually see things happening and I’m pretty optimistic about this project,” said Stafford Supervisor Robert Thomas, R-George PROFFER Washington.

Plane crashes killing 6 on way to Quantico graduation Family and friends on their way to the graduation of a Marine from Officer Candidate School aboard Quantico Marine Corps base died in a plane crash near Shannon Airport in Spotsylvania County. Three teenagers, including a 15-yearold girl from Germany, were among six victims killed Aug. 12 when the small aircraft they were in crashed and caught fire past Shannon Airport, according to state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller. There were no survivors. The victims include Robert D. Ross, 73, of Louisville, Ky., the owner of the plane, and two other adults: the pilot, William C. Hammerstadt, 64, of Carmel, Ind., and Lisa K. Borenstein, 52, of Shelbyville, Ind., according to state police spokeswoman Corinne Geller. Two of the teens were also from Shelbyville, Ind. They are Luke J. Borinstein, 19, and Emma R. Borinstein, 15. The third teen identified is Maren Timmerman, 15, of Berlin, Germany. Training Command at Marine Corps University aboard Quantico Marine Corps base issued the following state-
ment: “A candidate with Officer Candidate School who graduated Saturday [Aug. 13], lost family members in Friday's tragic plane crash. Training Command's thoughts and prayers are with the candidate and his family during this difficult time. The candidate's name will not be released for privacy.” The plane, 1969 Beech 95-B5As5 twin-engine, fixed-wing aircraft was attempting to land at the Shannon Airplane touched down midway down the runway and then attempted to execute a “go-around,” according to Geller. As the plane attempted to turn and climb, it appeared to have stalled before banking left and crashing into trees. That summation of events was reached as a result of an investigation by both state police and federal transportation authorities, including the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration, Geller said. The crash occurred about 12:24 p.m. Friday. The plane left Louisville, Ky., on Aug. 12, flew to Shelbyville, Ind., before continuing to Virginia.

Stafford deputy saves man’s life following chase A Stafford County sheriff ’s deputy likely saved a man’s life —after tracking him down and breaking a vehicle window to render first aid. During a domestic fight on Choptank Road on Aug. 13, a woman reported that she stabbed her husband as he was attacking her, Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokeswoman M.C. Morris Moncure said. The man fled the Patton Drive residence but was spotted by Deputy First Class J. D. Floirendo as he drove to the scene. Attempts to stop the vehicle proved fruitless as the chase continued east on Garrisonville Road, Morris Moncure said. The driver finally stopped his vehicle near the intersection of Shenandoah Lane, approximately two miles from the initial incident. However the driver
would not open the door or window for the deputy. Knowing the man was wounded, Floirendo broke the rear driver’s side window to unlock the front door. The deputy then saw the injury and the large amount of blood on the left side of the driver’s body. Deputy First Class J.C. Miller and Deputy B.R. Wilczynski arrived at the scene and Miller applied a tourniquet near the injury. The driver, whose name was not released, was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The trauma surgeon said the tourniquet saved the man’s life, Morris Moncure said. The man was charged with domestic assault.

Given the slipshod way that he handled things in the first place, it is smart of Gov. McAuliffe and his administration to be more methodical this time around when it comes to restoring the civil rights of Virginia’s ex-incarcerees. Slapped down by the Virginia Supreme Court in late July, McAuliffe made noises that he planned to act expeditiously in restoring the rights of the 200,000 Virginians he tried, but failed, to do earlier in the year. Those inside the nitty-gritty of the process knew better; we were told early on that the key would be to put in place a process that would pass court scrutiny, and such an effort couldn’t be accomplished overnight. When prioritizing how to move forward, it seems as if the McAuliffe administration will be focusing on the nearly 13,000 released felons who had registered to vote before the court ruling came down. Locally, that includes 104 people in Stafford County, 327 in Prince William County and 424 in Fairfax County.
Gold: So where to look for things that are bright? It seems to me … with all the talk of doom and gloom, we greatly need s omet hing to make us smile and give us a reason to laugh. To HARVEY GOLD search for this, sometimes I listen to the presidential candidates speak about what they’ve done and how they are going to fix my life and yours -- and make the world a better place for all living creatures. Or perhaps they’ll fix it for only those the candidate believes need a better place. All the others it seems should be happy for what they’ve got. And, depending on the candidate, the environment will be fixed or the environment doesn’t need fixing. One believes there is climate change and global warming, and the other candidate says it’s a bunch of malarkey. After listening to this, I broke out into a real belly laugh but suddenly realized that my laughing had turned to sobs, and the presidential election circus had too many sad clowns in it to make me laugh. So I turned to local politics and looked at how the Stafford school board has been conducting business, and my crying increased. Still searching, my thoughts turned to how the Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization

The governor’s office last week released a complete list of all those who had registered to vote under provisions of the since-struck-down executive orders. In combing the list, opponents of the McAuliffe administration no doubt will find some individuals who – for a variety of reasons – should have been ineligible. But the vast majority simply exercised the civic right they had been given back by the governor, and for that, they should be saluted. With 200,000 ex-incarcerees to be individually vetted, it seems to us that first priority should go to those who already have signaled their interest in resuming their role in the commonwealth’s social fabric by taking the step of registering to vote. Time is ticking; the voter-registration deadline for the upcoming presidential race is Oct. 27. He bungled the first time and was roundly pilloried for it, but if Gov. McAuliffe acts appropriately this time, we’ll have no criticism of his efforts to restore the rights of those who have done their time for doing their crime.

(FAAMPO) and the Board of Supervisors have made decisions on how to improve traffic on I-95, and how they have turned vast green spaces into concrete and asphalt. I quickly realized I’d better not go there or I might need a strong sedative. Recognizing that the state legislature is always good for a laugh, I quickly realized that some of our governor’s decisions and some of the House speaker’s were no laughing matter. And when I looked to the future and the next race for governor, I found no reason to bring up even a weak chuckle. Even religion brings little to smile about. Pedophilia, voyeurism, corruption, prejudice and murder seem to cover the sins of those around the globe who have tampered with what should create the broadest happiness along with the most satisfied heavenly smiles. Instead, they ruin the power that could bring endless possibilities of joy to the world. To be sure our great U.S. Olympians make me feel better and proud. But in the background lurks Rio’s extreme poverty, corruption, the Zika virus and environmental decay. I decided not to even think about overall world politics because the amount of hate out there is so enormous that it only could lead to uncontrollable sobbing. So where to look for things that are bright, sunny and worthy of a broad smile and a laugh, not over a joke but a laugh

that comes from a deep down feeling of happiness. Sometimes, I think what I am really looking for lies in the hearts of very young children. I also see it in the eyes and innocence of the mental challenged. They are devoid of hate or discrimination. They look for the brighter side and a reason to laugh. They do not look for or see differences in one another. They want to be happy. They want their world to be happy. I also think there are multitudes that inhabit this planet that, like me, are looking for a reason to smile, to laugh and enjoy a beautiful world, without taking from others or desecrating their environment. Unfortunately, they seem to have forgotten where the right places are to find smiles and real happiness. In my continuing search I thought of the very old man in the back of the church who, when the preacher asked if there anyone in this congregation who can honestly say they do not hate anyone, replied in a loud voice, “Preacher, I don’t hate anyone.” “And to what do you owe that happy, joyful condition” asked the preacher? The old man shouted back, “I outlived all those no good SOBs.” I don’t like the old man’s philosophy. Some of us may not live that long. I think we need new directions from new leaders who realize that continuing, decade after decade, the same old policies, ideas, ethics and philosophies that have not eliminated evil among people nor educated people who destroy our planet, is just a form of insanity. We need leaders who can show us how to avoid the mistakes of the past and bring contented smiles to the babies, the innocents, as well as the rest of the world family. Unfortunately, he or she isn’t on any ballot yet. Harvey Gold can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com. SPORTS

Rikki’s Refuge retail store, partners host shop hop Eleven Fredericksburg-area thrift and resale stores are partnering for a shop hop Aug. 19–28. The event advertises the stores and helps raise funds for various charities. The stores are a combination of nonprofit and for profit businesses. Melissa Felts, manager of Fredericksburg’s Re-Tail Re-Sale, which benefits Rikki’s Refuge Animal Sanctuary in Orange, came up with the idea and organized the shop hop.
Through Aug. 28, shoppers can pick up a map and card at any of the 11 locations. When they visit one of the businesses, their card will be stamped with the store’s unique stamp. When shoppers have collected all the stamps they will leave the completed card at the last location to be included in a drawing for prizes. The participating stores have discounted items and special sales available throughout the event. Shoppers can also “like” the businesses on Facebook to find out the specials in each store. Participating stores include Christ Church Thrift Shop, St. Matthew Thrift Store, Four Mile Treasures, Donna’s Thrift Shop, Re-Tail Re-Sale Thrift Store, St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store, MANARC Thrift Store, Belman’s Thrift Shop, Present and Past Treasures, Huckleberry’s and Two Times New.

The total number of degrees and certificates earned by Germanna students increased by 183.3 percent during the presidency of Germanna Community College’s David A. Sam. He will retire in June.
Germanna Community College President David A. Sam announced will retire June 30, after a decade of guiding the college through enrollment growth that coincided with a series of state budget cuts and recovery from a major earthquake, according to a news release. During Sam’s presidency, Germanna’s total enrollment (credit and workforce) increased 61 percent to over 12,000, the number of degrees and credentials awarded has increased, and the college added centers in Stafford and Caroline counties. It also is expanded its Fredericksburg Campus in Spotsylvania and opened the Daniel Technology Center in Culpeper. The number of awards —total degrees and certificates — earned by Germanna students has increased by 183.3 percent during his presidency. Sam led Germanna through the aftermath of the earthquake of 2011 that forced the closing of the Fredericksburg Campus’ main building for repairs. His previous support for GCC’s online learning program helped the college through the
months before the building was reopened. Sam and Rick Brehm, the vice president for administrative services, steered Germanna through the recession without layoffs, despite the budget cuts. Brehm passed away in July after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. “I reflect on nearly a decade with pride in what we at Germanna and throughout the Virginia Community College System have accomplished,” Sam said. “Despite the challenges of the Great Recession, rapid enrollment growth and then challenges of enrollment decline and a rapidly changing environment … Germanna and VCCS have continued to do right by the students, businesses and communities we serve.” For several years during his presidency, GCC was among the fastest growing colleges in the nation at the same time it was experiencing budget cuts. “It has been the greatest honor of my life to have served as president of Germanna since 2007,” Sam said. “But it is time for fresh leadership.”

2016 Back to School Back-to-School Butterflies? Helping Your Kids Calm the Jitters ASHLEY TALMADGE
C
olin was starting 6th grade in a new school. At an orientation event, he became clearly unnerved as he struggled with the combination on a sticky locker. His concern, says mom Lynn, was “whether he’d be able to
open his locker during school when they only had four minutes between classes.” Colin’s particular fear is surprisingly common, and so is his apprehension about the beginning of a new school year. Most kids, even excited ones, experience a few butterflies in the first weeks. And
the source of such uneasiness isn’t always obvious to parents. WHAT KIDS WORRY ABOUT Age, experience and temperament all determine a child’s concerns. Young children with little experience outside the home may exhibit separation anxiety. “Being in the care of adults other than their parents can be initially stressful for some children,” notes Deb Cockerton, a child and youth behavioral counsellor. These youngsters also worry about practical matters, such as finding the bathroom and getting on the right bus. When they’re a bit older, children worry about whether they’ll have friends in their class and where they’ll sit at lunch. Older tween-age students are “concerned about how they will fit in with their peers, and how they will do academically,” says Cockerton. The start of puberty and issues like cyberbullying, body image and athletic ability may be additional stressors. Some worries are not obvious to parents. Kerry Norris, principal and longtime educator, says, “There are always some

An anxious child tends to take quick, shallow breaths. A good self-calming technique is the “belly breath.” Here’s how to do it: Sit comfortably. Place one hand lightly on your belly. Breathe in slowly through your nose for a count of four. Feel your belly rise. Hold the breath for a count of two. Let your breath out slowly through your mouth as you count to four. Repeat several times.
things we don’t think of as adults…We’ve had little ones who are afraid to flush the toilet in the loud echo-prone bathrooms.” Older kids who are beginning to measure themselves against peers, may feel humiliated if they wear the “wrong” clothes or come to school with a “nerdy” haircut. Major transitions can cause feelings of insecurity, even if a child has previously done well. Brown says that Colin was “extremely successful and a model student” during his elementary years. Yet, as a kid who “thrives on routine and predictability,” it took time for Colin to adjust to the new academic expectations, the more complicated schedule and the pre-teen social dynamics of his new school. SIGNS OF ANXIETY Kids express anxiety in many ways. Some are vocal and quite specific about their concerns. The tummy ache is a common symptom of stress in younger kids. But more often it is a child’s behavior that indicates his distress. Cockerton says, “The younger child can become more ‘clingy,’ not wanting to leave mom’s side.” Older children can also suffer physical symptoms, such as headaches. They may eat more or less than usual when they’re feeling anxious, and Norris notes they may also experience sleep interruptions and moodiness.

HOW PARENTS CAN HELP Kids feel more confident and competent when they come to school prepared. Experts like Cockerton and Norris agree that parents play a leading role in helping kids cope with back-to-school fears. Here are some ways to calm the jitters:
• Talk to your child about what worries her. Provide accurate information if she is misinformed. • Listen carefully and respond empathetically. Avoid saying, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine!” Focus on your child’s very real concerns. • Brainstorm. Help your child build a repertoire of possible solutions to a problem. Brown’s son, Colin, was anxious at the thought of changing into his gym clothes amongst other boys. She says, “We helped him figure out where he could change and feel he had some privacy.”

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT
Apple, Google and Amazon family plans offer sharing options Twenty years ago you bought a movie and put the VHS tape on the shelf near your VCR. If the movie wasn’t quite appropriate for the MARK STOUT kids, it went into a shoebox on the top shelf of the parents’ closet. That’s where the kids found it when they got a bit older and snooped when the parents were out. Then along came online media purchases and things got more complex. Mom and Dad likely had separate iTunes or Android accounts. Often the kids did too. Movies purchased on one account had to be watched on a device tied to that account. If two kids wanted to watch “Frozen” on their own devices, some parents bought a copy for each child’s device. Apple, Google and Amazon have made it a bit easier with shared family plans for the videos and other streaming and downloadable content. These programs allow family members to share purchases and consume them on
10
various devices, even if the purchase was made on another account, as long as that account is part of the family plan. Apple’s plan has one adult agreeing to pay on their credit card for the purchases of up to five family members. At first, that sounds dangerous, but the kids’ purchases can require the adult’s approval before the transaction is made. This works for both paid and free downloads. The approval is done right on the adult’s device, so the child can make the request while at daycare, and the parent can approve while still at work, for example. All downloads of movies, apps, books and music appear on the list of all family members. And the adults can hide some of their purchases if they want, to keep the 6-year-old from watching “The Shining.” The iTunes family program also makes it easy for members to share photos in one album, no matter what device takes a photo. It also creates a family calendar for sharing events. Now a child can post a band practice to the calendar and the parent can see they need to provide transportation that day. And it lets members

know where everyone else is by using the location tracking in each phone and showing it on a map. A person can hide their location temporarily if desired. Likewise, any family member can help find another’s lost device. Google’s plan is similar: up to six members, one central payee with parent approval of purchases made on the central card. The approval is not as easy as Apple’s. Parents need to enter a password on the child’s device. With both programs, not all content is available for sharing. It depends on the content creator. Google and Apple have music programs. For $15 a month, six members can enjoy unlimited streaming of music. You will want to check the cost of data with your cell provider before you opt for this, as it is going to be used when away from WiFi. Google’s plan does not automatically create a family calendar or location sharing like Apple’s does, but Google calendar already has sharing you can set up for family or others. Amazon Family is a free, add-on to
Amazon Prime, the $99 a year program that offers free two-day shipping on many Amazon products and streaming of many video programs. Family offers significant discounts on diapers and other items a family needs. And it offers free time, a service offering children’s videos, apps, music and books aimed at children. It also has unlimited photo storage and more than 800,000 free eBooks. While Amazon does not have the location or calendar sharing of the other two programs, its users can use Google’s services. Indeed, there is no reason to choose just one family program. You can use two or even all three if you choose. Only the iTunes store offers iPhone/ iPad apps, but the Google Play Store and the Amazon App store offer Android apps. All of these services also have parental controls so you can limit the kind of content your children can view or listen.

North Stafford High returns a loaded lineup David Stegon »ForByInsidenova
North Stafford sophomore running back Devyn Ford gets straight As, never misses a day of school and works like a player still trying to make the team instead of one of the most highly recruited players in the nation. It is no wonder that North Stafford coach Joe Mangano called Ford a “one in a million player,” but not just for his gifts on the football field, but for his work ethic in the classroom and his hungry, yet humble, demeanor. “He is not the type of player that stands off to the side just waiting to get his reps in practice,” Mangano said. “He’s involved with everything. He’s the first to show up. He is incredibly prideful in what he does and that sets an example for other players. Here is a guy that has accomplished so much, but he refuses to let up.” Ford already has over 20 scholarship offers from major programs such as Ohio State, Clemson and Georgia, with more offers seemingly coming every day. This comes after last season’s 1,865-yard, 24-touchdown campaign that helped lead the Wolverines to a 9-4 record and an appearance in the 5A North Region semifinals. Heading into this season, Ford serves as one of the team’s leaders. The Wolverines, in fact, only feature five seniors on a roster that is made up of nearly half underclassman.
North Stafford’s 2016 regular-season schedule
Nana Asiedu
Jimmy Edwards returns as the team’s quarterback in his third-year under center. Edwards threw for more than 2,300 yards last year as North Stafford featured a balanced offense that averaged more than 36 points per game. Mangano compared Edwards to Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in the way he dedicates himself to preparing to play. “Jimmy is not vocal, but he leads in so many other ways,” Mangano said. “He loves football. He loves working out. He
loves practicing. He loves watching film. He loves every aspect of it.” Edwards will lead a passing attack that will provide a nice balance to Ford and the running game. His receivers include speedster Naukym Morton, 6-foot-3 Guy Keith and Devin Ravenel, the brother of Brandon Ravenel who was a four-year starter at North Stafford and a four-year starter at James Madison. “I’m not going to compare Devin to his brother, who has a chance to play profes-

sionally, but he does have that same potential,” Mangano said. On the defensive side of the ball, the Wolverines feature another national recruit in Nana Asiedu, a 6-foot-6, 265 defensive end. Along with Darnell Council and John Close, Asiedu, who has offers from more than 20 schools, will anchor a defensive line sure to give opposing quarterbacks fits. “This has been one of the most enjoyable off-seasons I’ve had,” Mangano said. “The kids are committed and buying into this season. I like where we are headed. We have a lot of potential. As a coach, I never talk about expectations beyond winning our first game, but I’ve been very pleased so far with how we are coming together.” Dave Stegon can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

Mountain View football looking to improve defense » By David Stegon For Insidenova
In a high school coaching career that has spanned nearly 30 years and included two Virginia state titles, Mountain View coach Lou Sorrentino said he’s never had a quarterback as good as Ahmad Tweedy. Last season, Tweedy passed for more than 1,800 yards, ran for more than 1,000 and combined for 33 touchdowns in leading the Wildcats to a 7-4 record and an appearance in the 5A playoffs. “He’s the ultimate dual-threat quarterback,” Sorrentino said of the senior. “He’s been a joy to coach. He’s excellent.” Tweedy leads a high-powered offense that scored more than 37 points per game last season. The core of that offense returns with running back Jamil CollisonCofie (more than 1,300 rushing yards and 24 touchdowns) and receivers Tre Coghill and Brandon White. That continuity at the skill positions will help integrate three new starters to the offensive line. As much as the offense looks to again light up the scoreboard, Sorrentino admits that the team’s defense will need to improve for Mountain View to contend at a high level. The Wildcats gave up more than 25 points per game last year as a 6-0 start was wiped away with a disappointing 1-4 finish.
Mountain View’s 2016 regular-season schedule
Sorrentino said Nii Abraham and Kristian Clark will bring some size and strength to the defensive line, while the secondary could be a strength. Coghill plays safety as well and is joined by corners Jacob Clark and Brendan Sumpter. Clark, in particular, had six interceptions last year. “We will have to find ways to slow people down,” Sorrentino said. “We have some guys up front and some in the secondary. Through scrimmages so far, we’ve seen a lot of things that we like.” Sorrentino said 65 players participated in the team’s summer workout program. He likes to allow players to take part in other sports throughout the school year instead of focusing on football full-time.
He said that always comes with trepidation, as he worries about how the players progress until they return. “I do get worried, but it is something I encourage,” Sorrentino said. “The players learn new skills and can refocus when they return. Once everyone came back this summer, I was impressed with how everyone came back read to work.” With a number of successful programs
in Stafford, Spotsylvania and Prince William counties, Sorrentino knows his team will face a tough opponent each week. His goal, he said, is always to make the playoffs and win the conference. “We know we have a lot ahead of us, but this is a great group to work with, and we’re going to be right in it,” he said.

Forge’s Reed prepares for senior season with the Tribe » By David Driver For Insidenova
Last year the William & Mary football team was 9-4 overall and went 6-2 in the competitive Colonial Athletic Association, sharing the league title with Richmond and James Madison. The Tribe advanced to the national playoffs in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), but this year the team will have to replace four-year starter and Massaponax High graduate DeAndre Houston-Carson, a cornerback/safety who was drafted earlier this year in the sixth round by the Chicago Bears of the NFL. “I could talk all day about this guy,” said Trey Reed, a rising senior cornerback from Colonial Forge High School who is ready for his last season at William & Mary. “He was a mentor to me and still is today. I played against him in high school. He is an all-around great person, a great friend.” The Tribe was picked to finish second behind rival Richmond in the CAA this year during its annual media day at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore in late July. Reed was a second-team all-CAA pick last year as he started all 13 games. He was fourth on the team in tackles with 59 and also had three interceptions. The Stafford resident had an interception in both playoff games in 2015, against Duquesne and Richmond. Reed had 11 tackles against Duquesne in the playoffs and his first interception

of the season came against New Hampshire, another CAA team that made the national playoffs last season. The Tribe veteran had eight tackles against Elon in regular-season play and five tackles against JMU, which was ranked No. 9 in the country at the time. He formed a strong tandem with Houston-Carson, who had 293 tackles and 10 interceptions in his Tribe career. Houston-Carson was the co-CAA Football Defensive Player of the Year in 2015.

“It has to be a team effort,” said Reed, who played running back and defensive back for head coach Bill Brown at Colonial Forge. “Everyone has to be in 100 percent, from the practice room to the weight room.” Another Stafford product with William & Mary is junior offensive lineman Connor Hilland, from Brooke Point. The Tribe opens the season Sept. 1 at North Carolina State of the Atlantic Coast Conference. William & Mary plays Sept. 10 at Hampton and plays its first home game Sept. 17 against Norfolk State.

The first CAA game for the Tribe is at home Sept. 24 against Elon. William & Mary plays Oct. 8 at James Madison in Harrisonburg and hosts Richmond in the regular-season finale Nov. 19. An all-CAA wide receiver for JMU is Brandon Ravenel, a graduate of North Stafford High. Reed and Ravenel played against each other in high school and also in college. “He is a great receiver. He is a great player,” Reed said. What is it like to play in the CAA, which sent five teams to the national playoffs last year? “I enjoy it. If you are a true competitor you like that,” Reed said. Reed is a psychology major who plans to join the Marines after he graduates from William & Mary. His father was in the Marines and his brother, Pete, plays football at VMI. His parents have attended several games during his college career at William & Mary. “They are the best support you could ask for,” Reed said. Other Stafford products on the pre-season roster of VMI include freshman wide receiver Rohan Martin (Colonial Forge), redshirt senior wide receiver Darrian Johnson (Stafford High), senior wide receiver Aaron Sanders (Brooke Point), freshman linebacker Connor Riddle (Colonial Forge) and redshirt freshman offensive lineman Tyler Thacker (Stafford High).

County School Board’s handling of the project. “I do commend the school board for going back and cutting back some of the design. I am still not supportive of how big this school and its design are getting,” said Stafford Supervisor Wendy Maurer, R-Rock Hill. Maurer noted that it is not because she doesn’t support the schools. In making choices for the schools, a 30-year-impact must be considered and the large scale and escalating cost, by $15 million, will take away from other factors related to the schools, including teachers, buses, salaries and more, she said. • agreed to allow the county administrator to solicit proposals to lease a gymnastics and recreation facility in Stafford, thereby expanding Stafford County gymnastics program.

Currently, the approved preliminary subdivision plan for Embrey Mill includes 2,079 dwellings. Of those, 1,291 are proposed as single-family homes. The developer has not asked to increase the number of units or the density of the development with the text amendment, but only to diversify the types of single-family housing by offering some smaller lot sizes to accommodate smaller homes. • expressed concern about the rising cost of rebuilding Anne E.
