Supervisors discuss no-shooting zones TRACY BELL

T

tbell@insidenova.com

he Stafford County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday discussed allowing smaller neighborhoods to ask the board to be included as a no-shooting zone.

The board voted unanimously to send the issue to its public safety committee for further consideration. The discussion stemmed from a motion made by Supervisor Gary Snellings, R-Hartwood.

Snellings said he has recently received complaints from concerned residents living in subdivisions about neighbors shooting in the area.

He said that his main concern is safety, as opposed to noise.

At a previous board meeting, a

resident spoke during the public comment session, explaining her worries about a neighbor regularly shooting targets nearby. She was afraid for her family’s safety and the safety of others, as well as visitors to nearby Abel Lake.

The county may prohibit the outdoor shooting of firearms in areas that are, in the opinion of the board, so heavily populated as to make such conduct dangerous to the inhabitants. These areas of the county have been designated as Shooting Prohibited Areas.

The County Code notes two ways that new parcels may be included in an SPA based on whether the parcel is contiguous or not to a current SPA. For a contiguous parcel, a property owner may petition the

board.

For a non-contiguous parcel, the owners of 50 or more parcels must petition the board, in addition to meeting other requirements. Both options require the board to hold a public hearing prior to adoption.

The 50-parcel requirement limits the ability of some smaller subdivisions from petitioning the board for a SPA designation.

Staff suggested requiring a minimum of 60 percent of the residents in the subdivision to petition the board, rather than a minimum number of parcels.

If the board agrees to the proposal, County Code would be changed to allow the resiZONE dents to petition PAGE 13 the board, if they

FOUR FACE HEROIN CHARGES A man passed out in a North Stafford Wawa restroom led to heroin charges against four out-of-state residents on May 1, according to Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office spokes- NICHOLAS woman M.C. Morris RICHARD Moncure.

CAPUTA A deputy responded to the Wawa at 105 Garrisonville Road, at 9 p.m. and was told by a store employee that a man entered the store looking like a “zombie” and was now in the MEGAN RENE restroom, lying down. LICHLYTRER The man, later identified as Nicholas Caputa, was in a crouched position between the urinal and the bathroom stall. Caputa had to be shaken vigorously to be awakened, Morris Moncure said. SALLY ELIZABETH A search of Caputa NELSON found a syringe and five baggies of suspected heroin.

Caputa said that he was from Pennsylvania and took the bus to Stafford Marketplace, then walked across ANTHONY the street to Wawa.

RONALD He told a deputy that CHAMBERS he was traveling with three friends, who ultimately returned.

A deputy found a car with Pennsylvania tags registered to Caputa in the Stafford Marketplace.

A police dog alerted deputies to narcotics in the vehicle. Deputies found 140 baggies of suspected heroin, weighing approximately 10 grams, Morris Moncure said.

Nicholas Richard Caputa, 24, of Bristol, Pennsylvania, was charged with possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to sell controlled substances.

Three Tennessee residents, Anthony Ronald Chambers of Springfield, Megan Rene Lichlytrer of Jefferson City and Sally Elizabeth Nelson of Brentwood, were charged with conspiracy to sell controlled substances.

They were incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail and held on no bond.

STAFFORD MAN CHARGED WITH FELONIOUS ASSAULT A Stafford man was charged with felonious assault April 26 after police responded to a report of an assault with a weapon near Harpoon Drive in Aquia Harbour.

Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office deputies responded, as did the Aquia Harbour Police. They were told that a man suffered facial injuries from brass knuckles and that rescue personnel were treating the victim.

The victim and another man were fishing that day when a dispute over money occurred, according to sheriff ’s office spokeswoman M.C. Morris Moncure. The victim was then assaulted, she said.

After obtaining a search warrant of a home on Coast Guard Drive, deputies found brass knuckles in the home.

The suspect was identified as Nathaniel Scott Schofield, 24. He was charged and incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on no bond.

STAFFORD MAN CHARGED WITH ANOTHER DUI A Stafford man was charged April 27 with driving under the influence, third or subsequent offense, and driving on a revoked license. He was examined at a local hospital and medically cleared.

Wesley Alfred Vogt, 32, of Clark Patton Road in Stafford, was then incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on no bond.

The incident occurred near the intersection of Stafford Lakes Parkway and Warrenton Road, when a Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office deputy saw a Ford F-350 truck perpendicular to the northbound travel lanes.

It seems to me… it would be a very good idea for the Stafford County Board of Supervisors to make changes in the county code to allow HARVEY GOLD small subdivisions to petition the board to prohibit shooting in their subdivision.

In fact, I would classify this as a no brainer. This has nothing to do with the second amendment of the Constitution and the right to keep and bear arms. It is a matter of common sense. Subdivisions vary in size, as do the size of parcels in those subdivisions. And, we have seen in the past few decades, the trend is to have smaller parcels and more of them. In some, you can reach out of your window and turn the lights out in your neighbor’s house.

While the board has the authority to prohibit outdoor firearm discharging in heavily populated areas, the current requirement is limited to owners of 50 or more parcels who may petition the board

to declare their subdivision a “Shooting Prohibited Area.” So, if you live in a subdivision of less than 50 parcels, it could resemble the Wild West, and the right to petition isn’t available to you even if your neighbor is shooting bottles or cans while sitting on her deck. I suppose even in subdivisions with large-acre parcels, discharging firearms could be dangerous given the firepower of some guns. And while your neighbor may not object to you taking target practice, the FedEx, UPS, U.S. Postal Service, trash collector and your paper delivery person could be hit by a stray bullet. That is not farfetched when you remember that all over the country toddlers and adults have been hit by stray bullets, and even people sleeping in their bed have been hit by bullets. Granted this is not what might be the intent of someone involved in outdoor target practice when they are shooting at a “target.” But when a stray bullet misses that bull’s-eye in someone’s backyard and hits a person, child or pet, they become “the target.”

I guess the question really is why does

ET! Are you there?

I’ve always enjoyed looking at the stars.

Standing in the backyard of my house in western Stafford and watching the evening skyscape is one DAVID KERR of my greatest joys.

A long time ago the Navy even did its best to teach me how to navigate by the stars. I passed the exam and the practical, but thank goodness for GPS. Also, like every other human, staring up the stars, whether on the plains of central Africa 8,000 years ago or my back porch, I have pondered the question, is there anyone else out there? The numbers say there should be. Quoting the late Carl Sagan, our galaxy, the Milky Way, has “billions and billions of stars.” And until just a few years ago we had no conclusive proof that were other planets. But now, thanks to some ingenuous scientist, we do, and so far have detected about 2,325 planets. The Kepler Space Telescope was an immense help. It can even use spectrographic analysis (just like you learned about in high school chemistry class) to determine the makeup of a planet’s atmosphere. A handful meet the basic criteria for supporting life as we know it. Given these numbers, it seems a statistical certainty that somewhere out there in the cosmos there are civilizations. Maybe millions of them. But still, until we know for sure, that’s conjecture.

One of the most tantalizing prospects is the notion that maybe one of these

distant civilizations might have or have used radio. There is a strong belief that a technical society, in the course of its development, would have used this basic communication tool. And if they did, the signals would have spread far and wide.

I don’t know if they have any “greatest country hits” stations on say one of the recently discovered planets orbiting Alpha Centauri A and B (it’s a twin star system), but who knows.

So, why not just tune in and see who’s out there? It’s not a new idea. Perceval Lowell, the founder of the famous observatory, and Nicholai Tesla (Elon Musk named a car after him) both conducted experiments hoping to receive an alien transmission. In the early 1920s the government even shut down all federal radio facilities to give the scientists a quiet radio spectrum for a night.

But nothing came of it.

And it still hasn’t happened, no ET; but the notion is a powerful one, and the lure of receiving that first transmission from another civilization has prompted one of the largest mass participation science projects in human history.

The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, SETI, has been at it for decades.

Their goal, using radio telescopes the world over, is to find a signal. And it’s not easy. The amount of data that comes in every night, and in 30 years they have

someone have to have target practice in their backyard? There are lots of shooting ranges. In fact, going to http://wheretoshoot.org/index2.cfm will allow one to find a nearby location.

Checking this website, I quickly found the Izaak Walton League within 5 miles of zip code 22556. But the best idea would be to contact the Stafford Sheriff ’s Office for locations they would recommend.

I’m absolutely, positively certain they wouldn’t mind you not shooting your firearm in your backyard and would assist in helping you to find one convenient to your home.

Let us hope the board does the right thing and allows any subdivision to request a designation as a Shooting Prohibited Area. If they don’t, it may place the board and the county in jeopardy if a backyard target shooter wounds or, worse, kills someone. But, the bottomline is that backyard target practice just ain’t necessary.

Harvey Gold can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com. only looked at a fraction of the sky, is staggering and the computing power required to analyze it is immense. But, SETI, a private organization, came up with the idea of digitizing all this radio traffic and then farming it out to average folks to process on their laptops and PCs. It’s easy enough to participate, and this volunteer science project has a 3 million active participants.

There have been a few intriguing signals, but nothing that meets the criteria of being an alien transmission. And it’s a rigorous test. The signal has to have some sort of pattern, can’t be traced to a naturally occurring signal, has to be proven to have positively been generated from outside our solar system, and it has to repeat itself. In the world of galactic communications, that’s a tall order.

Also, there is the matter of timing. This may prove hard to beat. Signals could have been generated hundreds of years ago and only be reaching us now.

Being there, and having the radio on, and the antenna pointed in the right direction, at the right time to catch this one signal may be an impossible task. But, a lot of people, myself included, with my old laptop, the one I retired, are processing away, wanting to be part of answering that age-old question, “Is anyone there?”

ORGANIZATIONS FIGHT OPIOID EPIDEMIC The Rappahannock Area Community Services Board is partnering with Mary Washington Healthcare to sponsor, “A Community Effort to Address the Crisis: The Opioid Epidemic” on May 10.

Last year, 72 people in Planning District 16 died from opioid overdoses, according to the Virginia Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

In Stafford, there were eight opioid overdoses in 2014 and 17 in 2015. The preliminary number for 2016 is 21, according to the Virginia Department of Health Fatal Drug Overdose Quarterly Report.

Joined by community partners Mental Health America of Fredericksburg, the Rappahannock Area Health Department and the Community Foundation, the RACSB hopes this event will teach about efforts to combat the crisis.

The event will feature the film, “Chasing the Dragon” and a town hall meeting.

LIVING WITH DOGS | LAURIE C. WILLIAMS

Is it a problem dog? Maybe not As a dog trainer and behavior specialist, my services are often requested by people wishing to “fix” what they perceive to be a problem LAURIE C. WILLIAMS behavior or issue their dog has. However, after closer speculation, it often becomes clear that the dog doesn’t really have a problem at all.

He’s not deficient or “broken,” but rather is behaving quite normally for a dog of his breed. Today we mostly want dogs to be our companions so we forget that most breeds were bred for specific purposes. Centuries ago we welcomed canis familiaris (dogs) into our fold, domesticated them and then began carefully and strategically breeding them to perform various different tasks.

They helped us hunt, gather and retrieve game, rid us of vermin, herded and guarded our flocks, and protected us from dangerous interlopers. Even the smallest toy breeds were ratters by day and lap warmers by night. One thing is certain, they were not bred to sit around idly all day and then expected to just “behave.” So yes, many of these problem dogs I encounter would be just fine if liv-

ing in a different time and circumstance, and able to do the things and perform the work they were originally bred for. That’s a problem.

Why do we choose the breeds we do?

Many choose a dog because of how they look, favor their size or have read that the breed is “good with kids” or make “great family dogs. How many really examine and consider what that breed of dog was originally bred to do? Unfortunately, not nearly enough.

This is not to say that every individual dog within a breed will behave the exact same way, however there are some distinctive breed-typical characteristics that have been selected and bred for throughout that breed’s history. Take the sporting breeds: pointers, retrievers, setters, spaniels. Bred to work alongside the hunter and follow his commands to point, flush and/or retrieve game, they are adventurous, have a strong prey drive and the endless energy needed to hunt and swim all day long.

Unfortunately, most pet Labrador and golden retrievers today rarely get to do these things and end up being deemed as too “hyper” or “out of control.” Terriers, bred to chase down and catch vermin, also have a strong prey drive but were bred to work alone, not needing man’s in-

tervention. They follow their instinct and love “going to ground,” tunneling through holes and ditches, if necessary, to catch their prey.

In order to catch a rat you have to be fast, tenacious and relentless. So, is it really surprising when your terrier starts digging up your yard or won’t follow your commands? It shouldn’t be. He’s not being stubborn, he’s being a terrier!

Working breeds, such as rottweilers, doberman pinschers and mastiffs were bred to be keepers of the castle and ward off trespassers. Is it any wonder that they may be aloof and a little wary of strangers? Hounds, bred to work alone and independently might find it more interesting to follow a scent rather than listen to what you have to say. Oh, and they like to bark (otherwise known as “bay”) to alert when they’ve found something. A lot. This turns into a problem when the neighbors complain.

And then there are the herding breeds: German shepherds, border collies, Shetland sheepdogs, etc. The herding instinct is very strong in these breeds but, unless living on a farm, most people don’t have quick access to sheep these days. So how do they satisfy that urge? By herding the children, the family cat or, worse, by chasing cars and fast moving objects, THEME: ALL ABOUT WEATHER ACROSS 1. Request to Geico, e.g.

OPINION

which can be very dangerous.

But these are the breeds we love, and even if you have an all-American mutt or hybrid, he still will retain many of these drives.. This doesn’t mean we can’t have them, but it will make both our and their lives much easier if we acknowledge this and focus on finding constructive ways to work with this instinct, rather than try to change them. You may not hunt, but you could teach your retriever to retrieve to hand (not just wildly chase a ball), or teach your setter or spaniel to do water retrieves.

Set up a sandbox in your yard and bury treasures for your terrier to find so he stops digging up your yard. Socialize, socialize and socialize your working breed a lot, so he is less likely to be wary of strangers. No sheep? Try letting your herding dog herd large plastic balls (Google Treibball).

And most importantly, remember, a daily walk around the block or two might be good enough for you, but there are many dogs that will need a lot more than that to deplete their energy stores. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with them.

In fact, it means they are very correct in accordance with the work they were originally bred for.

North Stafford grad sees time with Shenandoah lacrosse » BY DAVID DRIVER

For InsideNoVa

Troy Hubbard was a standout lacrosse player at North Stafford High School.

But he was not sure about playing the sport at the next level.

“So far it has been great. At first, when I was in high school, I didn’t know if I wanted to continue playing sports,” he said. “I just wanted to go to a big school.”

But then he played in a club tournament in Maryland while in high school and he was seen by Tim Marshall, the head men’s lacrosse coach at Division III Shenandoah in Winchester.

Hubbard paid a visit to Shenandoah and was convinced.

“I immediately fell in love with the school,” said Hubbard, an all-conference player in high school.

Hubbard has been a freshman midfielder this season for the Hornets, who ended regular-season play on Saturday with a 10-7 loss at Bridgewater in Old Dominion Athletic Conference contest.

“Being on the team defensively made the transition a lot easier,” Hubbard said.

“We have 30 guys that immediately have your back. You have automatic friends going in. I would say everyone is committed to the program.”

Hubbard was a freshman at Fredericksburg Christian before he transferred to North Stafford.

“I came in as a sophomore and no one knew who I was,” Hubbard said. “They

had not seen me play.”

Shenandoah began play in the ODAC tournament on Tuesday, May 2 against Hampden-Sydney.

“It is definitely challenging,” Hubbard said of the ODAC. “Washington & Lee and Lynchburg and Roanoke are three big teams that really dominate the conference.

I have played about as much as I thought I was going to. You are not going to get a lot of playing time as a freshman. I have gotten better and that is all I could ask for.”

Other Stafford residents with Shenandoah include Ryan Schott, a sophomore attack from Brooke Point High; and Morgan Robinson, a freshman defender from Brooke Point.

GREENING NAMED TOP MALE ATHLETE Evan Greening, a senior at University of Pittsburgh at Bradford, was named the school’s male athlete of the year. He was a standout this season in men’s basketball and won several awards, and was honored at the NCAA Final Four in April as one of the top Division III players in the country.

Greening is a graduate of Stafford High and was a senior forward for Pitt-Bradford.

STAFFORD PRODUCTS IN PRO BASEBALL Colonial Forge High graduate Jarrett Parker, a former University of Virginia standout, began the season on the roster of the San Francisco Giants as an outfielder.

Troy Hubbard was a freshman lacrosse player at Fredericksburg Christian before he transferred to North Stafford, and then went on to play at Shenandoah University.

SUBMITTED

But he went on the 60-day disabled list and was hitting .143 in his first 21 at bats for the Giants.

Pitcher Kyle Haynes has been pitching in the minor league system of the New York Yankees and did not allow a run in his first four outings this year.

The former Mountain View High and VCU standout started out at Single-A Tampa of the Florida State League, where he did not allow a run in one game.

Haynes was then sent to Double-A Trenton in the Eastern League, and he was 1-0 with a 0.00 ERA in three games, with one start.

He was drafted in the 20th round in 2012 by the Pittsburgh Pirates and was eventually traded to the Yankees. Haynes spent part of 2016 at the Triple-A level in the New York system.

Atlanta Braves minor league pitcher Levi Hyams, a graduate of Colonial Forge High, has been on the disabled list with Double-A Mississippi of the Southern League this season in the Atlanta system.

Hyams was drafted out of the University of Georgia in the 19th round in 2012 by the Braves.

Colonial Forge soccer team faces challenging conference schedule » BY DAVID STEGON

For InsideNoVa

In each World Cup there is a “Group of Death” where a number of quality teams are placed together through a quirk in the seeding, leading to an unexpected battle for top squads just to make it out of the early rounds of the tournament.

Conference 4 is the Virginia High School League’s “Group of Death.”

With seven quality teams, Conference 4 has featured a different winner since its inception. On any day one team can real-

istically knock off anyone else. That competition leads to improved play, but also serves as a reminder for coaches to not get too caught up in out-of-conference results.

“Our conference is really tough,” said Colonial Forge head boys soccer coach Adam Spinelli. “So far this year we’ve been right about where I thought we would be, but these conference games will show us where we really stand.”

Colonial Forge prides itself on a physical, team-oriented defense that limits opposing scoring changes. On offense, Spinelli wants every player on the field to be comfortable handling the ball to get the most out of each possession. So far this season Colonial Forge has created a fair share of offensive challenges, but Spinelli would like the team to convert more.

“We have to continue to defend as a team,” Spinelli said. “We can’t relax and leave defense to our back four. Every player on the field has to defend. If they don’t defend or are not comfortable with the ball they will have trouble getting in the game.”

While Spinelli stressed the team’s success so far has been the result of a teamoriented approach he pointed to a few players that have stood out in that system.

Jadon Redding, the kicker of the Colonial Forge football team, has scored eight goals in the nine games. R.J. Arnold has anchored the mid-field, leading the team’s possession-oriented approach while John Burke has been a rock in goal.

“We tackle really well and play a physical style of soccer,” Spinelli said. “We want to make our presence known. We try to identify what other teams struggle with and then exploit those weaknesses. We

have a smart group with a high soccer IQ that has grown well as a team, especially in how they play defense.”

Snellings reiterated that the proposal does not expand no-shoot zones but instead allows smaller subdivisions to petition the board for inclusion in a no-shooting zone.

In other county news, Snellings warned area residents, especially as summer approaches, to be mindful of the Rappahannock River. Last week, a group of canoeists were rescued from the river.

“That is a very dangerous, unforgiving river. It is not for the weak, not for the amateur,” Snellings said. “We’ve had a 100 people drown in that river, in that section, in the last 25 or 30 years, so if you go on that river, you better know what you’re doing or you’re

with somebody that does.”

Also at the meeting, the board of supervisors discussed the region’s opioid problem. A town hall meeting will be held May 10 at 5 p.m. at the John F. Fick Conference Center at the Mary Washington Hospital campus in Fredericksburg.

“It is an epidemic in this country,” said Supervisor Laura Sellers, who represents the Garrisonville District.

The board of supervisors also: unanimously approved a 5-year agreement with the Stafford Area Soccer Association for an adult soccer league.

“I’m excited about this,” said Supervisor Meg Bohmke, R-Falmouth. “I’m not a big soccer player but I’m really excited for this addition in Stafford County, for this adult league.”

years old, his father was killed in an automobile accident. He grew up in Waukegan, Illinois, a small city in the Chicago metro area as part of a family in which: “No one had gone to college, and no one ever expected to go to college. I never expected to go to college.”

“Life was pretty rough from the time I was four till the time I was eight. Then I got a step dad who I fought all the way, but he’s been a great influence and made me who I am today. I even have a tattoo thanking him.”

Dietz worked several jobs while in high school and says he knew he was capable of doing well academically, but never cared about grades. The one thing he did care about, he says, was high school football. Then he got into trouble and was given the choice of withdrawing or being expelled.

Two weeks later, he joined the Navy at 18. It was Dec. 7, Pearl Harbor Day, and ironically his first duty station was Pearl Harbor, where he was a diesel mechanic.

“I tried to pick trades because I never expected to go to college,” he says.

When it came time to reenlist, he became a Seabee—a member of the U.S. Naval Construction Battalions (C.B.), an outfit conceived as a replacement for civilian construction firms immediately after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The idea back then was that Seabees could drop their tools and take up their weapons if attacked while working on a project.

He became a heavy equipment operator, then a master blaster explosive engineer working on quarries and building roads.

Dietz got married and he and his new family made a home in Mississippi. Their house was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. Later a tornado struck the street where he when stationed at U.S. Strategic Command in Oklahoma City. Because of those two events he became a volunteer firefighter and then an emergency medical technician. “I fell in love with emergency medicine,” Dietz says.

He got divorced, he says, because his wife tired of his being gone so much on CLASSIFIED

assignments in the Navy. So he devoted his free time to trying to help people as an EMT. He has gone on to become part of Project Rubicon, an organization that uses veterans’ military experience and first responder skills to rapidly deploy emergency response teams.

In the Navy, he rose to the rank of Chief Petty Officer and between service in Iraq and Afghanistan, was involved in organizing and leading 20,000 miles worth of convoys. “The worst thing,” he says, “is when you’re in a leadership position and sending people out and hear they’re under attack. I would never have forgiven myself if anyone had died.”

Some were hurt, but none were killed.

He’s a Wounded Warrior, having suffered a serious back injury in a combat zone.

“The biggest thing the military did for me—and the reason I’m here— is make me set goals. As a kid, I really didn’t have goals. In the Navy, setting goals became a habit—a lifestyle.”

At Germanna, he became president of the GCC Student Nursing Council and recently helped organize the first annual “Happy, Healthy Me Day” for Girl Scouts at the Locust Grove Campus and spent the day mentoring them.

His goal at Germanna was to become an emergency room nurse. “My goal was to get hired exactly where I got hired. I finished nursing school and I’m going right where I wanted to go,” he said. In a few years he wants to move on to a Level 1 trauma center.

He says he gained immense respect for his fellow Germanna nursing students, many of them young women the same ages as his two daughters, “because they came through the same thing I did here—a program that is incredibly difficult and challenging. And that takes both strength and perseverence.”

The other speaker at Friday night’s commencement will be Germanna President David Sam, who is retiring at the end of June after more than a decade of leadership at GCC. A total of 575 students are expected to receive 1,097 degrees and certificates.
