Cyber Education New tech hub will offer training, innovation center GREG HAMBRICK, » BY ghambrick@insidenova.com

Over the past year, commuters along Interstate 95 have watched a unique building rise at the Quantico Corporate Center.

Unlike the nondescript offices nearby, the new $10 million Quantico Cyber Hub includes a large framed X on either side of the building (and an X visible from the air on the roof).

X Corp Solutions founder and CEO Cesar Nader expects the new building will draw attention for more than its unique design.

The 30,000-square-foot, three-story building is expected to house the headquarters of the company, which has more than 150 employees providing a variety of contract services across 21 states, including staffing, intelligence and security support, facility management and training and education.

The building also will offer an innovative new home for cyber education courses and shared space for innovation, Nader said.

“I knew Stafford needed something iconic,” he said of the unique look. “If we’re going to be the hub for cybersecurity, you don’t want to go to a typical office building. You want to go somewhere inspirational — a Hall of Justice.”

After serving as a linguist in the Marines, Nader opened the business with clients that needed his experience. “Over the course of the last eight years, I started to see a lot more demand for ‘X’ men who had language skills, but also had technology skills,” he said. “I started to see a gap in the market where large companies couldn’t find the kind of talent that I could find.”

After winning a cyber security contract with the federal government, Nader realized the evolving challenge the industry is facing.

“There’s not enough professionals in the workforce; those who are, aren’t fully qualified; and the needs of the cybersecurity industry keep getting bigger and becoming more complex,” Nadar said, noting jobs are becoming more targeted and specific, while also branching out as new threats require new solutions.

When he couldn’t find enough talent to fulfil a 76-person contract, Nader decided he’d purchase space to train his own people, but then he realized that the government and other companies were facing the same problem.

When it opens next month, the new building will be partnering with Southern University to offer state-ofthe-art classrooms for courses on cybersecurity.

Classes will be able to be streamed to other Southern campuses and there will be certification programs for professionals already working in the cyber security field or seeking employment.

“What Stafford will have is the ability to have a certified national testing center, not just for cyber, but anything that requires certifications,” Nader said.

The first round of courses is expected to be offered Sept. 1.

“The most popular courses is ethical hacker, network plus, security plus…it’ll be a five-day course and you’ll be certified at the end of that course,” Nader said.

There will also be collaborative space for X Corp’s American Cyber League and its nonprofit Cyber Bytes. The company hopes to build an “agnostic Cyber Domain Ecosystem” to develop and accelerate new ideas in cyber technology and security.

“People can come and talk about what they’re working on, see what’s being worked on and be a part of that crosspollination of capabilities, people and process,” Nader said.

There also will be a separate space for shared work on projects.

“This will be a professional breeding ground for cyber warriors,” he said.

Nader recently took InsideNoVa on a tour of the building as final work was underway. The first floor will have space for a cyber security wall of fame, a cyber cafe and several classrooms and workshops. The second floor will largely offer open, collaborative environments.

Cyber professionals can come and mingle, network and learn on the first floor, and then contribute, experiment and play on the second floor, Nadar noted.

On the third floor, Nader’s office sits between the large X on the side of the building with a view overlooking his next project: a planned $28 million advanced data analytics science center.

“You’ll do cloud computing, data analytics, modeling and simulation,” Nader said.

And he hopes to one day add to that vision with a cyber security conference and expo center down the road.

Nadar recognizes that he isn’t the only budding cyber site in the region. Amazon is building its $2.5 billion headquarters in Crystal City and Virginia Tech is investing in a satellite campus nearby in Alexandria.

But Nadar knows commuters will be heading to Arlington and Alexandria on Interstate 95 and they’ll secondguess that trip.

“They’ll see this building and ask, ‘Why don’t I work out of Stafford?’” he said. “As a county, we have to look to the future and not trail behind.”

on its way to having a healthier population. Some 300,000 people signed up for Medicaid coverage. Roughly 60% were women and 40% were men. Locally, in Stafford, 3,838 people signed up for the expanded Medicaid Coverage, while in Prince William, 11,500 people joined the program. In Fairfax there were over 20,000 new Medicaid participants.

According to the state data at least 33,000, roughly 10% of those under the new Medicaid program, have hypertension. Keeping this condition managed and under control saves the state, which ends up picking up the bill — a fortune in medical costs — once these people become seriously ill.

Sadly, though Virginia Speaker of the House Kirk Cox, a Republican, joined in the campaign for expanded coverage, many in the Virginia GOP still vehemently oppose the change. Stafford’s, Del. Bob Thomas, R-28th, voted for increasing the scope of Medicaid eligibility.

He was vilified for this vote during the Republican Primary and ended up losing the party’s nomination.

For many voting to expanding Medicaid coverage in Virginia was an act of political courage. All who voted “aye” on this bill deserve a “well done.” As the numbers indicate, we’re all the better and healthier for it.

Time to speak: Gun owner, not gun freak Listen up, Stafford County area gun owners, especially if you’re a Republican.

Each of us has powerful leverage to affect legislation in Virginia right now. It only takes a few keyboard clicks and quick voicemails.

Oh, and it will also require your conviction that you’re a thinking voter, not a cartoon drawn by addled extremists in Washington and in our state legislature who ignore their own constituents.

The tragic, as we’ve learned again this week, is now commonplace. And when mass shootings occur in Virginia or elsewhere we gun owners are made to seem as if we’re absolutely opposed to firearm safety measures.

Those are falsehoods.

Most Virginians, including most National Rifle Association members and Republicans, agree by wide majorities, just as you do, that we need sane gun laws.

Several surveys have found that most NRA members — some have found as many as 7 in 10 — support universal background checks for anyone trying to buy a gun. Don’t trust polls? Good. How about one conducted by the Republican pollster Frank Luntz? He now advises the Trump administration.

AUGUST 9-15, 2019 | INSIDENOVA.COM

After the Sandy Hook school massacre, a Luntz survey of hundreds of NRA members found that 87% agree that guns should be kept out of the hands of criminals. NRA members also support, by margins of 63% to 79%, background checks for every gun purchase, requiring owners to report to police when guns are lost or stolen and minimum standards for “concealed carry” permits. A Christopher Newport University policy poll recently found that Virginians aren’t much different: “Overall support for specific gun control policies show general bipartisan agreement,” their report summarizes.

After the slaughter of 12 city employees in Virginia Beach — the latest chapter in our growing book of tragedies — a special legislative session was adjourned without action after two hours. The 2019 regular session saw dozens of reasonable gun control bills stifled in committees.

Meanwhile, people who pretend to speak for gun owners call folks who worry about mass shootings “radical and opportunistic puppets” and “craven gungrabbing zealots.” Colorful, but are they describing you? Didn’t think so. Make sure your legislators know that you’re

ready for gun safety legislation immediately — and you expect them to fight for it.

You can find and get in touch with them instantly online. It’s always better to make contact or visit now, before the frantically busy General Assembly session begins in January.

You can also write to the Virginia Crime Commission here, or at 1111 East Broad St., Suite B036, Richmond, VA 23219. The commission collecting citizen opinions about reasonable gun safety laws to pass along to the legislature.

Richard Keene, a 51-year-old gun owner from Chesterfield, told a reporter that he felt the Governor’s special gun control session turned out to be “a lot of hype for nothing.”

He said, “I don’t feel like the common, normal person, the normal American, is represented anymore...there is some common ground for the common good that all of us could work toward.” The take-home word for you and me: “work.”

Do it now.

Seaman Michael Meade credits lessons learned in Stafford for his success in service with the U.S. Navy.

SPECIALIST 1ST CLASS DAVID FINLEY/PROVIDED

Mountain View grad serving with U.S. Navy LT. COURTNEY PRIZER, » BY NAVY OFFICE OF COMMUNITY OUTREACH

A 2017 Mountain View High School graduate and Stafford native is serving in the U.S. Navy aboard the guided-missile destroyer USS Halsey.

Seaman Michael Meade works aboard the vessel operating out of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.

He credits success in the Navy to many of the lessons learned in Stafford.

“My hometown taught me the value of hard work and to never give up until I achieve my goals,” said Meade.

Halsey measures approximately 500 feet and is powered by four gas turbines that allow the destroyer to achieve more than 30 mph in open seas.

Approximately 30 officers and 300 enlisted men and women make up the ship’s company. Their jobs are highly specialized and keep each part of the cruiser running smoothly, according to Navy officials. The jobs range from maintaining engines and handling weaponry to washing dishes and preparing meals.

In his role, Meade is responsible for working in the deck division to ensure the hull of the ship is in prime condition and ready for sea.

“I also assist in the handling of refueling and resupplying the ship at sea,” Meade said.

According to Navy officials, destroyers are tactical multi-mission surface combatants capable of conducting anti-air warfare, anti-submarine warfare and antisurface warfare, as well as humanitarian assistance. Fast, maneuverable, and technically advanced, destroyers provide the required war-fighting expertise and operational flexibility to execute any tasking

overseas.

Being stationed in Pearl Harbor, often referred to as the gateway to the Pacific in defense circles, means Meade is serving in a part of the world taking on a new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.

“Our priorities center on people, capabilities and processes, and will be achieved by our focus on speed, value, results and partnerships,” said Secretary of the Navy Richard Spencer. “Readiness, lethality and modernization are the requirements driving these priorities.”

Serving in the Navy is a continuing tradition of military service for Meade, who has military ties with family members who have previously served. Meade is honored to carry on that family tradition.

“My grandfather and uncle both served in the Army,” Meade said. “Hearing their stories and experiences motivated me to serve.”

Though there are many ways for sailors to earn distinction in their command, community, and career, Meade is most proud of graduating boot camp and making his parents proud.

“I’m proud of being told that I’ve become one of the top junior sailors in my division,” said Meade.

As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Meade and other sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes, one that will provide a critical component of the Navy the nation needs.

“Serving in the Navy means I get to see the world and experience all the things I’ve wanted to do,” added Meade.

Germanna Community College has announced a new partnership with The Citadel to provide a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (BSBA) degree for students.

Eligible students would start in, or have already graduated from, Germanna or another partner two-year school and finish with a degree from The Citadel, which has one of the top-ranked, online and part-time business programs in the country, according to a news release.

The agreement allows students who are pursuing associate in applied science business degrees automatic acceptance into the Baker School of Business at The Citadel. In addition, those community and technical college graduates who are already holding an two-year degree in business can seamlessly transfer all of their credits to The Citadel.

The transferring students will attend non-cadet, civilian classes, with the option to choose between studying online, on campus, or both. The students then graduate with a full, four-year BSBA and a Citadel diploma.

“We are excited to support the advancement of business students at our partner community and technical colleges in six states through these agreements. Our program is designed to meet the needs of those students while allowing them to

stay in their communities,” said Jeremy Bennet, director of the degree completion program at The Citadel. “Students in these two-year programs will have shown the dedication needed to complete their associate degrees. Now, they won’t have to sacrifice credits when transferring to the Citadel.”

The collaborations document a pathway between the technical colleges and The Citadel through a transfer course equivalency table. The table lays out the courses participating students must take to satisfy degree requirements before transitioning to their second two years of study with The Citadel. If the table is followed, the technical school students who complete their associate degree are awarded full transfer credits for their classes and will be able to complete a BSBA in four semesters of study through The Citadel.

“We’re very proud to partner with a college as prestigious as The Citadel in offering a path to a four-year degree in business,” said Janet Gullickson, president of Germanna Community College. “Starting at a community college makes higher education affordable and completing a degree at The Citadel makes it easier for graduates to get good jobs, advance in their careers, become good citizens and succeed in every aspect of life.”

Fredericksburg Chamber hosting nonpartisan political training class The Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce is seeking applicants for a free nonpartisan training program to teach local business-minded leaders strategies on how to engage locally in the policy and political process and promote a robust regional economy as the foundation for a vibrant quality of life, according to a news release.

The Public Leadership Institute, to be held Oct. 24, 25, and 28, will feature experts in political engagement and public policy and allow members to consider how their business experience, skills and talent could address local public affairs issues.

Class members can choose one of three educational tracks, covering tactics on how to: 1) advocate for policies to support a strong business climate; 2) land an appointment to critical boards and commissions; or 3) prepare to run for political office.

Applications are available at http:// www.fredericksburgchamber.org/Public-Leadership-Institute and must be returned by Sept. 13. The classes will be held at the Chamber offices at 2300 Fall Hill Avenue, Suite 240, Fredericksburg.

Only a limited number of applicants will be selected to participate based on a competitive process. A full scholarship will be provided to all members.

The program cannot accept declared or filed candidates for political office.

There is no requirement that participants engage in advocacy or public leadership, merely consider the possibility in a short or long-term time horizon.

“Our region is fortunate to have outstanding public leaders who understand the relationship between a strong small business climate and an outstanding quality of life. It’s important to continue this legacy by building the bench of aspiring advocates and public leaders who want to explore how they can make a difference on important business issues,” said Susan Spears, president and CEO of the Fredericksburg Chamber.

The curriculum will be taught in an active-learning workshop format with small-group and simulation exercises.

Topics include: Understanding The Political Process and Local Political Environment; Advocacy and Policy Objectives for the Business Community; Identifying Areas of Engagement; Preparing for Opportunities in Public Leadership; Political Messaging and Advocacy; Fundraising; and Building a Grassroots Coalition and Voter Targeting, among other areas.

The program is based on a public leadership development model that has been successful in other regions.

Mountain View is set upfront HUGH RIST » BY FOR INSIDENOVA

Strong play in the trenches on both sides of the ball figures to be a regular staple for the Mountain View Wildcats this season, according to coach Lou Sorrentino, which he says is important given how talented the Commonwealth District is overall.

“We have a chance to be pretty good in all phases of the game, but we need that because the teams we play are good, too,” Sorrentino said. “We’re excited to see how it will play out on the field, but you can have a good football team in our [district] and still not have it show up as far as your [overall] record.”

The reason for Sorrentino’s optimism is the fact he has seven returning starters on offense and five on defense.

“Our players in the trenches are a pretty veteran group and they’ve worked hard over the summer, so it will be fun to see what happens when they blend in with our younger group,” Sorrentino said.

At the forefront of the defense will be senior defensive back Adin Huntington (6-1, 250) and senior outside linebacker James Snead, both of whom are three-year starters. Sorrentino calls the duo “disruptive” and “extremely hard working.”

Head coach Lou Sorrentino returns seven returning starters on offense and five on defense.

BILL KAMENJAR/FOR INSIDENOVA

On offense, the line should be bolstered by returning tackle Alex Kemp (6-4, 247). But the effectiveness of the offense will begin with the play of quarterback Edward Ware, a two-year starter at defensive back, who moves to quarterback this year.

“Every offense needs a quarterback that can run and throw, and Ware can do that,” Sorrentino said. “He did some really good things at defensive back, so it will be exciting to see how he comes in and leads the offense this year.”

Because of the leadership and athleti-

cism Ware showed on defense, Sorrentino said he is confident he will mesh well with the young playmakers the Wildcats have on offense, as well as veteran running back Mark Shelton, who gained more than 500 yards in each of the past two seasons, but also suffered season-shortening injuries in both.

“We really hope for a full-season of production from him this year,” Sorrentino said.

Speaking of injuries, Mountain View’s offense took a significant blow earlier this year when senior tight end Brendan Heatherman, a three-year starter who has verbally committed to the University of Connecticut, suffered a knee injury and will be out indefinitely. Sorrentino said a big question is how the Wildcats’ offense will do without a significant weapon.

“His rehab is going great and we are hopeful to get him back after a few games, but he’s out indefinitely right now,” Sorrentino said. “At the beginning of the season, we will have to make some adjustments to the offense.”

Early on, Mountain View figures to use more four receiver sets than Sorrentino initially envisioned, but the potential of the offense to be good is there.

“We have a lot of potential to be good in all three phases, and you have to be in this [district], but we won’t really know until we get in full pads and get after it. It should be fun,” Sorrentino said.

CRITTER CORNER | KAREN PEAK

Ankle Biter Syndrome Think about what little dogs endure simply because of what they are. They are scooped up without warning. Dressed up in uncomfortable clothes. Treated like toys and dolls. They may not be socialized properly. People often behave rudely towards little dogs. Body language and stress signals are ignored as they are passed around like novelties to visitors.

They are teased because people think little dogs behaving aggressively is funny. Then these dogs are labeled Ankle Biters, Little Napoleons, Tiny Terrors. Is this fair?

Mrs. Jones loved luxurious things.

Image was everything. She saw pictures of small, elegant dogs and felt one would complete her image. This was the extent of the research she did: what style of dog she thought would best compliment her appearance. After going through several dogs who were not good fits, Mrs. Jones obtained a Yorkshire Terrier. Historically, Yorkshire Terriers were used to hunt mice and rats on farms and in mines.

Annabelle was expected to lie quietly on cushions. Barking was forbidden.

She was carried around like an accessory.

Annabelle was not allowed to play or get dirty. When she tried to hunt crickets and grasshoppers, Annabelle was punished.

She was expected to tolerate Mrs. Jones’s nieces dressing her up and pushing her around in a stroller. Then there was the

constant being grabbed and toted around.

Instead of the fashion accessory she wanted, Mrs. Jones created an Ankle Biter.

Look at life through the eyes of a little dog. When you are tiny, the world can be a big, scary place. Lie on the floor with your head at the same height as your dog.

Have people walk around you. Have people rush into your face as if they were trying to pick you up. Now, think about what it is like to be disturbed while you are sleeping, dressed up, hauled around like a stuffed animal, poked and teased to get a reaction. How do you feel? Behavior is a response to what is going on around you or happening to you.

What can you do to reduce the chance of Ankle Biter Syndrome? Understand that no matter how small and cute, behaviorally these are dogs. Research the history of the type of small dog you are considering. This means understanding what the breed was designed to do.

Simply seeing “Toy/Companion/NonSporting breed” is not enough. If you are looking at adopting, ask questions about the behavior. Understand what your little dog needs to feel safe. Insist others treat your dog with respect. Take the time for appropriate socializing. Be a mindful, thoughtful owner.

After weeks of working with Mrs. Jones and Annabelle, Mrs. Jones decided An-

nabelle would never be what she wanted.

Instead, she was going to focus on making the other dog the object of her attention. Annabelle was relegated to a back room. I asked Mrs. Jones if she would like to find Annabelle a different home.

Acting as an agent for a breed rescue, Annabelle was signed over to me. In the time she spent with my family, Annabelle started to come around. She went to her

foster home and on to a better life.

Occasionally we do get dogs who are predisposed to concerning behaviors.

However, many Ankle Biters are created by humans. Remember, these are living, thinking, feeling animals and not toys.

Treat them fairly and with what they need. With care and consideration, you can reduce the chance of Ankle Biter Syndrome.

PETS AT THE SHELTER

Toby is a large male pit bull terrier mix.

He was found as a stray. Toby is “very sweet and toy driven,” according to shelter staff. His favorite toy is a tennis ball.

Dove is a domestic short-hair small adult female. She is a little shy and will need convincing to come out of her shell. She doesn’t mind being around other cats.

Both animals are at the Stafford County Animal Shelter, 540-658-PETS.

Determining the value of their service or product is advised by this publication. In order to avoid misunderstandings, some advertisers do not offer employment but rather supply the readers with manuals, directories and other materials designed to help their clients establish mail order selling and other businesses at home. Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers.
