Elementary class sizes reduced in Stafford TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
he Stafford County School Board is satisfied with work done over the last two years to reduce class sizes in the schools system’s elementary schools, board members noted Tuesday. “We’ve made great strides over two years but we need to maintain it,” said Holly Hazard, who leads the Hartwood district and serves as the school board’s chairwoman. Hazard said that growth is one thing, but the board doesn’t want it to be at the expense of class sizes. Total enrollment division-wide increased by 446 students compared to last year, not including preschool, said Pam Kahle, associate superintendent for instruction at Stafford County Public Schools. Kahle provided an update on elementary classroom sizes based on student enrollment as of Sept. 30 this year. There are currently no elementary-school classes in SCPS with 28 or more students, she said. In 2015-2016, 48 elementary-school classes had 28 or more students, with 19 of the classes having 30 or more students.
The average class size in the elementary schools is now 22.5 students, down slightly from 22.9 last year. The maximum number of students in classes in 2015-2016 was 32 students and 27 this year. There are 12,376 elementary school students attending Stafford County Public Schools. Of 542 elementary classes divisionwide, 540 classes met their class-size goals. An additional teaching vacancy has been advertised to address the two classes that exceed class-size goals, according to a SCPS press release. “In the fall of 2015, the school board committed to reducing elementary class sizes through use of its revised staffing standards and targeted budget priorities, in response to concerns about increasing class sizes and its subsequent impact on student learning raised by parents and staff,” Hazard said “This report affirms the positive results stemming from the board’s commitment to elementary class-size reduction.” School board Vice Chairman Scott Hirons, CLASS SIZES

fter a month-long investigation led by the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office, an Orange County man was taken into custody this week, and 40 pounds of marijuana and 19 firearms were seized during a search of his residence., according to Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office
spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo. James Adam Cooper, 38, of Locust Grove, was pulled over on Va. 17 by Stafford deputies. A canine search of his vehicle found two pounds of marijuana and a small sum of money. The traffic stop led to the subsequent investigation of Cooper’s STAFFORD BUST

George Washington District, said that he is pleased with the results of the board’s commitment to Stafford families. “Smaller classes have been linked to higher student achievement, lower rates of disciplinary problems, less teacher turnover, fewer dropouts and more parental involvement,” Hirons said. Also at the meeting, the school board approved its legislative priorities for Fiscal 2019. They include encouraging the state legislature to address statewide teacher shortages and advocating for funding toward putting a nurse in every

Volunteers are needed at the Berea fire station 12 location, where a news crew will film as volunteers collecting coats. The crew will film as early as 5:30 a.m., but the event will run until noon.

residence, Vicinanzo said. Stafford investigators and the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office conducted a joint investigation of Cooper’s residence in the Wilderness Shores area of Orange County. The search uncovered approximately 40 pounds of marijuana, 19 firearms and $7,500 in cash. Stafford investigators believe the marijuana was trafficked from Oregon. “This is a perfect example of the importance of working together and strengthening bonds with our law enforcement partners to keep the community safe,” Stafford Sheriff David P. Decatur said. “The outstanding work of our narcotics unit coupled with the assistance of the Orange County Sheriff ’s Office led to the success of this investigation.” Cooper was incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on charges

CRIME BRIEFS STOLEN JEEP FLIPS, DRIVER FLEES IN STAFFORD A man is accused of flipping a stolen Jeep SUV after the vehicle was spotted by a deputy early Oct. 10, according to the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. The driver, Jordan Mason, of Parlow, was treated at Mary Washington Hospital for injuries that were not life-threatening, SCSO spokesperson Amanda Vicinanzo said Wednesday. According to court records, Mason faces charges of grand larceny auto, DWI, possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana, fleeing from law enforcement, failure to stop for police, destruction of property and other driving violations. “Seconds after the deputy activated his emergency equipment, the Jeep careened off the road into a fire hydrant and the vehicle flipped onto its roof,” she said. Mason allegedly crawled out of the passenger window and ran away from the scene. The deputy followed on foot and found Mason had tripped and he was then taken into custody. Mason had two clear bags containing a green leafy substances, which he identified as “spice” and marijuana, Vicinanzo said. He is being held at Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond and will have a court hearing on Dec. 7. MAN CONVICTED IN CRASH-SCENE RAPE CASE A man accused of abduction and
rape in south Stafford last year indicated he would avoid a trial and go straight to sentencing in the case of a woman raped on the side of the road following a car wreck last Halloween. Roberto Carlos Flores Sibrian, 27, entered an Alford plea on Oct. 10 in Stafford County Circuit Court. The plea is used in Virginia courts to allow a defendant to avoid pleading guilty, while still admitting that the court has enough evidence for a conviction. Flores Sibrian was charged with two counts of sodomy and one count each of rape, abduction with intent to defile and aggravated sexual battery. He was arrested in North Carolina in November in the case of a woman sexually assaulted at the scene of a Stafford County wreck on Oct. 31, 2016. The victim was dragged from her car on VA Route 3 and repeatedly assaulted in an attack that lasted at least 90 minutes. The attacker eventually drove away and left his shirt behind, which Flores Sibrian later admitted was his, according to Amanda Vicinanzo, spokeswoman for the Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office. Stafford County Commonwealth’s Attorney Eric Olsen described the incident as “one of the worst rape cases in recent memory in Stafford County.” Flores Sibrian will face sentencing Jan. 5 and faces a maximum penalty of four life sentences plus 20 years in prison. — Staff report

Celebrating Hispanic Heritage at the highest level, but not locally It was a unique honor and opportunity observing the pomp and protocol of the President of the United States and First Lady during the DANIEL CORTEZ Hispanic Heritage Month reception at the White House Oct. 6. Frankly, the request to attend from President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania Trump, unexpected to this jaded politically independent media operative as the initial invitation came via computer from the White House Social Secretary. After providing personal information and a Secret Service security check, a second message was sent regarding my entrance to the three-hour social event of the year for the Latino community. Virginia had several prominent Latino leaders present including the 42nd Republican House of Delegates candidate Lolita Mancheno-Smoak from Fairfax and Luis Quinonez, Trump’s senior advisor for Immigration, Hispanic and Veteran’s Affairs, who had a few days earlier returned from helping the administration with support for the citizens of Puerto Rico. Quinonez and I saw combat together as Marines in Vietnam in 1970. He’s no stranger to such functions. We were both nevertheless amused with the overt political posturing in the room from those seeking administration positions or special White House favor. The same could be seen at the Virginia Governor’s Hispanic Heritage reception I attended the week before. Just accelerate it 50 times and you have a White House social gathering. After several concentrated screenings that made airport security look tame, we
were allowed entrance. It was the White House, and frankly I expected nothing more as my personal effects and silver tipped cane were examined closely and x-rayed. Courteous military aides were plentiful while armed security were everywhere. What also was accelerated was the menu and drink selection that would impress any epicurean. We’re talking about a presentation by the White House chef Cristeta Gomez Pasia who did not disappoint a community of some very picky Latino eaters. The empanadas, which were pastry with meat, were to die for. But again it was the White House, and the food and drink was spectacular as about 125 national Hispanic leaders feasted and made small talk with the likes of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta and Jovita Carranza, the 44th Treasurer of the United States. The excited mass gathered in anticipation as the Commander in Chief made his entrance while cell phone cameras recorded his every move to thunderous applause. And the First Lady did not disappoint in beauty, dress or deportment. The President was equally as resplendent in appearance, while his compassionate remarks regarding the Puerto Rican relief effort, veterans, Hispanic entrepreneurial advances and tax reform were received with repeated ovations and words of support. But it was up front and personal when Trump stated that, no matter who we are and where we came from, we are all Americans and all bound together with our love for each other and our flag. His words moved me to state from my fourth row position “And we stand for the flag,” to cheers as the President pointed to me twice while thanking me and pumping his fist in the air. What did you expect from a man who will again be performing the national
anthem at Redskins stadium Nov. 12? The ongoing national flag debacle was the topic on many lips in the White House that day and while Trump focuses on taxes and the economy, the veteranheavy Hispanic community does not take the still-unresolved NFL players unpatriotic action lightly. Trump’s comments totally emboldened proud activists celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month, the same way Gov. Terry McAuliffe did at the Richmond mansion, as the event is mandated by Congress by Public Law 100-402. So is Black History Month in February and Native American Indian Heritage Month in November. But Trump’s words came as the White House sends Congress new proposals for immigration enforcement that addresses the detaining of unaccompanied minors, a stronger enforcement plan and securing the border. Sadly, local Stafford officials led by Aquia District Board Chairman Paul Milde have chosen not to recognize Hispanic Heritage month. According to County Administrator Tom Foley, no request was made to place the issue on the board agenda, which is more than troubling with all the difficulties Milde is having presiding over the contentious Confederate flag issue. Now due to this oversight, he has insulted the entire Hispanic community at a time when their critical vote is needed for Republicans come November. So no chance to add to my White House and Richmond mansion napkin collection, as area Hispanics look positively to the leadership of Trump and McAuliffe and disappointingly at Milde. They should.

So goes the commonwealth, so goes the nation? “So goes Maine, so goes the nation.” That was an old saying from years ago that held true for just about every election in the DAVID KERR 20th century, from FDR to John Kennedy. Maine was something of a bellwether. Today, that’s not the case. Maine generally goes Democratic, even when the rest of the country doesn’t. Alas, its days of presaging national elections are over. As for our commonwealth, we’ve never been that useful as an indicator of national trends. But that may be changing.

With few elections between now and 2018, when the Democrats would like to pick up the U.S. House of Representatives, many political types are looking at Virginia: our statewide races for one and our House of Delegates for another. The latter is a surprise. The Virginia House is one of the most stable bodies in the country. Ever since 2001, when the GOP majority and the governor, gerrymandered the seats to give the Republicans a supermajority, that massive edge has rarely been challenged. Now, some are looking at the Virginia House and what happens in a few weeks as a sign for what might happen to the U.S. House of Representatives during the EDUCATION

midterm election in just over a year. It’s not the easiest connection to make, at least not at first blush. But it’s a reasonable to say that Virginia’s off-year election cycle could be far more representative of what voters might do in national midterms than most any other indicator. Turnout for both is decidedly low. A large number of people who turn out for presidential elections usually pay no attention to local races, and only a scant attention to U.S. House and Senate elections. These seemingly small races just don’t get their blood up. But the Democrats, with KERR optimism, and the GOP, PAGE 5 with wariness, are curious SPORTS

if, contrary to past elections, there are decided trends from this year’s Virginia state and local elections. Statewide in Virginia, the trend has usually favored the party out of power. The election of 2013, when Terry McAuliffe won, was the only exception in 40 years, and that had a lot to do with a weak and underfunded GOP candidate than with bucking the trend. This year, the polls seem to be following the old pattern. The Democrat is ahead. But what about those House of Delegates races. This isn’t a normal year. The Democrats are putting up a fight across the board. There are 100 districts and each district has about 80,000 people. Until this year’s election, over half weren’t even fought over. But the Democrats, with an energized base and a host of new supporters, have rethought that calculus. There have been a lot of demographic changes in the past seven years; voting patterns have changed and, thanks to Donald Trump, previously inactive pro-
gressive voters are now engaged. More than three-quarters of the seats in the House of Delegates are contested this year. That’s a record. And the outcome, or so some believe, could have national meaning. In Virginia? Surely not. But the experts think we may be a good measuring stick of emerging trends for the 2018 elections. The Cook Report, a prominent and respected publication, stated that even a small change in the Virginia House might say something about next year’s midterm elections. And there is something to be said for that notion. In two Democratic sweep years, 2006 and 2008, the prior year’s Virginia House of Delegates races showed a move toward the Democrats. In 2007, the Democrats won control of the state Senate and picked up a few seats in the House. This year, given the large number of districts held by Republicans that went for Clinton, the Democrats have higher hopes. They think they can motivate
those voters who aren’t normally interested in local campaigns to turn out to vote. In other words, send a message. They’re running front line candidates and are putting serious money and expertise into this election. But will it work? The Cook Report article suggested that a change of four or five seats in the Virginia House, in favor of the Democrats, should give the national GOP cause for worry. And anything up to 10 would be cause for panic. Get past 10 and then there is a real political typhoon brewing. I think this suggestion represents more “feel” than it does any sophisticated mathematical model, but the people at the Report do tend to know elections.
All this is based on how we in Virginia vote on Nov. 7. Usually, we don’t get this much attentio. We’re not that interesting. But not so this year. We’re the only statewide election until 2018 and our voting patterns are gradually looking more national than they have before. So, like a little colony of microbes in a petri dish carefully watched by a scientist to see if a new antibiotic has an effect on it, we’re under the microscope.

Protect Your Money: There’s an App for That ince the credit card made its debut as an alternative to cash over 50 years ago, more Amer icans are using debit or credit cards as a primary payment method than ever before. In addition to the convenience and simplicity of using a card, another reason they have become increasingly popular is because they offer certain protections for consumers. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your maximum liability for fraudulent credit card transactions is $50 and many credit cards promise zero liability for all fraudulent transactions. While similar protections apply to fraudulent debit card transactions under the Electronic Funds Transfer Act, it’s important to remember that a stolen debit card, however, impacts your bank account balance as soon as the fraudulent transaction occurs. This can lead to other problems, like overdrafts and bounced checks. For all these reasons, consumers should pay careful attention to their statements to ensure all the transactions taking place are legitimate, advise experts. To understand how you are protected, it’s a good idea to check with your bank to understand their policy on customer liability and to inquire if they offer solutions you can use to protect your card if it’s lost or stolen. While some card issuers have evolved cards to offer security chips, as well as have created phone apps to protect against unauthorized charges and monitor purchase

activity in real time, some banks are taking extra steps to make debit card usage more secure by putting even more technology in the hands of their customers. For example, Ally Bank’s Card Controls app — available at no cost to both checking and money market customers with active debit cards and Android or Apple phones — was designed to give customers more control at their fingertips. By using a secure mobile app associated with their bank accounts, users have the ability to turn their debit card on and off, enable only certain types of transactions, set maximum single transaction amounts and create alerts to be notified when transactions occur. Customers can even set location awareness controls so that the card can only be used within a certain proximity of their phones or within a specified geographic region. “The ability to proactively control, monitor and manage card usage from a mobile phone provides greater peace of mind,” says Diane Morais, president of Consumer & Commercial Banking Products at Ally Bank, Member FDIC. Fortunately, technology advancements are resulting in new tools that banks can offer their customers to make it easier to control and monitor how and when your card is used, but the services vary from institution to institution. To ensure you are using all the resources available to protect your money, find out what your bank offers to make debit card usage more secure.” (StatePoint)
Surprising Ways to Improve Your Skin f you’ve spent any energy devoted to improving your complexion, you may think you understand all the strategies for achieving clear and healthylooking skin. However, there are some surprising skin care facts you may not know about that can help you rethink your routine. For example, acids in skin care products can mean many different things, and there is often a negative connotation with the ingredient. However, there are many effective ways to work acids into your skincare regimen.
I
• Glycolic acid is the most effective alpha-hydroxy acid, according to dermatologists, due to its small molecule size -- allowing it to penetrate deeper, act as an exfoliant to remove dead skin cells and reveal renewed skin. Consider incorporating this acid into your
mask routine to smooth skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and allow for smoother application of makeup. Ninety-three percent of women reported skin that
felt soft and smooth after just one use of StriVectin Glycolic Skin Reset Mask, a formulation that is paired with a proprietary form of Niacin/Vitamin B3 called NIA-
114, to offer age-fighting benefits. • Oleic acid, an omega-9 fatty acid that replenishes the skin’s lipid layer, is an essential component of skin barrier function, and the foundation of healthy, resilient skin. As skin’s lipids deplete as you age, you may need to actively offer your skin the benefits of this acid. The ingredient will repair visible signs of aging and sooth dry, damaged skin. • Hyaluronic acid, a hydrating molecule that attracts and retains up to 1,000 times its weight in water, is naturally found in skin. As one ages, its presence diminishes, leading to dehydration, fine lines and wrinkles. However, you can rehydrate and replump skin by applying this acid topically. Consider StriVectin Hyaluorinic Dual-Response Serum, which contains six unique forms of hyaluronic acid and should be used under one’s moisturizer. To learn more about incorporating acids into your skin care routine, visit strivectin.com. Remember, it’s all about balance — pH balance that is. So, don’t shy away from a skin care routine that uses acids, just do so wisely to achieve the right effect. (StatePoint)

Earlier this year Morgan Lowry learned she would have a new field hockey coach at Towson University, a Division I member of the Richmond-based Colonial Athletic Association. That meant Lowry had a new leader going into her senior season with the Tigers after she played in 19 games with 10 starts in 2016. But Lowry has welcomed the leadership of first-year head coach E.A. Jackson, a 1999 graduate of Mary Washington University and the former coach at Division III Eastern Mennonite University in Harrisonburg. “I am one of the senior captains,” said Lowry, a four-year standout at Mountain View under Patty Sullivan. “I am a big leading supporter of our team. With coach Jackson and coach Heather Hodges, they supported me with confidence” as a captain. “It was scary at first when we heard we are getting a new coach,” midfielder Lowry added. “It has been a real positive experience.” Lowry noticed at least one difference in Jackson’s approach as the head coach.
“Her style of training: We go harder for shorter periods of time,” said Lowry, who started the first 13 games this year. Jackson is the former coach at Albemarle High in Charlottesville and has worked summer camps at the University of Richmond, University of Virginia and James Madison University. She said Lowry is a key part of the Tigers roster. “I think she was really ready for some positive feedback,” Jackson said. “She is a young woman who wants to improve. She was not content where she was at as a player. We had a really nice baseline to build off with her skills.” Jackson moved Lowry from defender to midfield. “She has versatility and vision for attack,” Jackson said. “Her baseline fitness was so good.” Lowry played in 13 games as a freshman at Towson in 2014 and started for the first time against JMU. She played in all 18 games as a sophomore with 14 starts and had a defensive save at La Salle. Lowry gained her first college point that season against Villanova. Last year as a junior she had shots

against La Salle and Northwestern. The Towson roster also includes freshmen Yasmine White and Nathalie Tortolero, who are also former Mountain View players. Hodges also graduated from Mountain View. “We very much value the instruction they get from Stafford. Mountain View has been a powerhouse,” Jackson said. “We are excited to continue that relationship.” The Tigers lost 12 of their first 13 matches and play Oct. 20 at Drexel in
CAA action. Towson lost at home Oct. 6 to William & Mary, 3-1, as Mountain View product Bailey McCarthy started for the Tribe. The Mary Washington field hockey team includes senior forward Morgan LaRowe, a Mountain View product. She was among the team leaders in goals with four in the first 12 games, as the Eagles were 7-5 and 0-1 in conference play. Mary Washington plays October 14 at York (Penn.) College.

More than 110 spectators joined Caledon State Park and Wildlife Center of Virginia personnel to watch an American Bald Eagle return to the wild Oct. 9. The bald eagle was found on the ground unable to fly at the Stafford County landfill May 16 and the young bird would fall over when approached, Wildlife Center president Ed Clark said. Stafford Animal Control Officer Anthony Campbell captured the bird and transported it to the Wildlife Center in Waynesboro. Center veterinarians found fresh abrasions on the bird’s head, beak, wrists and left wing tip, Clark said. The presumed female had tattered primary feathers and was covered in dust and dirt. The veterinarians believe the eagle might have suffered trauma from a fight or collision with another bird. In addition to the visible injuries, blood work confirmed exposure to pesticides and low levels of lead, he said. The eagle has recuperated mainly in an outdoor enclosure the past few months as the eagle grew new feathers and regained her strength. Over the past several weeks veterinarians and rehabilitation staff have worked with the bird to make sure it was capable of flying on her own. The bird was transported to Caledon with a hood on her head in a large airline style pet carrier in the back of the Center’s minivan. The carrier was covered to CLASSIFIED

A child in the crowd asked how big the eagle was and Clark responded, “She weighed 12 pounds–a big girl.” Clark said Caledon was chosen as a release site because of its natural habitat including proximity to the Potomac River. As Clark held the eagle in his arms protected by long gloves, several birds flew overhead as if to gain a closer look as he said, “There are lots of fish and other eagles for her to learn from, steal from and hang out with.” Clark walked along the crowd line to allow everyone to get a closer look and then, on the count of three, released the eagle and it spread its wings and gradually gained altitude, soaring away from the crowd before finally disappearing behind OPINION

the tree line at the park. The goal of the Wildlife Center is “to treat to release,” but according to Clark they are also involved in research and education. Clark said the center has been proactive in trying to educate farmers about the use of pesticides that are toxic to the birds as well as educating hunters about use of lead based ammunition that the eagles can ingest while scavenging carcasses of dead animals. The eagle rescued from the Stafford landfill was the sixth bald eagle released by the Center this year. The center has a “Critter Cam” where the public can view bear cubs, eagles, and other wildlife currently being rehabilitated. It can be accessed at www.wildlifecenter.org. NEWS

North Stafford’s Devyn Ford has rushed for 22 touchdowns this season.
BILL KAMENJAR | INSIDENOVA.COM
North Stafford receives wake-up call » BY DAVID FAWCETT
dfawcett@insidenova.com
While it preferred an unbeaten regularseason, North Stafford’s football team is more concerned with being as prepared as possible when the postseason begins in November. That’s why the Wolverines refused to wallow in disappointment after dropping their first game of the season Sept. 22 in a 49-45 loss at Massaponax. “It was a wake-up call,” North Stafford head coach Joe Mangano said. “It exposed some things.” The defeat forced the Wolverines (51) to re-evaluate their defensive players and how they used them. In its following game against a 5-0 Stafford team, North Stafford refocused with a different approach. The Wolverines applied more pressure by being more aggressive. The result: the Wolverines won 55-14. “We’re finding our stride,” Mangano said. “It’s not about where we are at in August or November, but where we are at
in November.” The early schedule didn’t do North Stafford any favors. The Wolverines won their first four games by a combined 219to 60 against teams unlikely to make the playoffs. Massaponax, though, posed the first challenge to North Stafford. Coming off a bye week, North Stafford resumes play Friday against Mountain View followed by games against Brooke Point, Riverbend and Colonial Forge. The Wolverines’ offense continues to generate big numbers led by junior running back Devyn Ford (118-1,079 rushing yards, 22 TDs) and senior quarterback Devyn Ravenel (59-663, 11 TDs). But performances from Isaiah Watts (94 rushing yards, 2 TDs) and Javon Purvis (43 rushing yards) against Stafford were even more encouraging. Watts has 388 total rushing yards and four touchdowns. “We definitely need to get more of our skill players involved,” Mangano said.
