Mary Washington named a top cardiovascular hospital Mary Washington Hospital was named one of the nation’s 50 Top Cardiovascular Hospitals by IBM Watson HealthTM. The Watson Health study is now in its 20th year. This is the first time Mary Washington Hospital has been recognized with this honor, according to a news release.

The study uses the most recent Medicare Provider Analysis and Re-

view data, Medicare cost reports and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Hospital Compare data. Hospitals were scored in key, value-based performance areas: risk-adjusted mortality, risk-adjusted complications, percentage of coronary bypass patients with internal mammary artery use, 30-day mortality rates, 30-day readmission rates, severity-adjusted average length

of stay, wage- and severity-adjusted average cost per case and, new this year, CMS 30-day episode payment measures.

“This recognition represents our cardiovascular team’s hard work and tireless dedication in caring for the communities we serve,” said Dr. Michael McDermott, president and chief executive officer of Mary Washington

Healthcare.

If all cardiovascular providers in the U.S. performed at the level of this year’s winners (based on Medicare patients only), results industry-wide could amount to: over 10,300 additional lives saved, $1.8 billion saved, and 2,800 additional bypass and angioplasty patients could be complication-free, the release stated.

In a year when several of his fellow Republicans were defeated by Democratic challengers, Rep. Rob Wittman won reelection to a seventh term representing Virginia’s 1st District in Congress.

Wittman ended the night with 55.22 percent of the vote, while Democrat Vangie Williams had 44.69 percent of the vote.

It was a closer race than Wittman has had in the past, winning with nearly 60 percent of the vote in 2016 and 62 percent in 2014.

“The greatest honor of my life is serving as the representative for the First District and I am grateful to be given the opportunity to return to Washington to work on its behalf,” Wittman said in a statement Tuesday night. “As always, my focus and

Patawomeck tribe shares native culture at Porter An early morning rain put a slight crimp in the Patawomeck Indian tribe’s presentation of their culture at the time of the early English colonization.

A replica of the traditional long house was not erected lest the structure not survive the inclement weather. But the artifacts that were available piqued the curiosity of both young and old. Tribe Chief John Lightree, along with his wife, Minnie, displayed arrowheads and flint knives, along with skins of various animals that would have been hunted by the Stafford-based tribe.

Visitors got a chance to make their own necklaces and join in playing music on drums and flutes.

Some even took the opportunity to taste deer meat cooked on an open fire.

Patawomeck members are scheduled to return Nov. 2, 2019, for another display at the library.

Patawomeck Chief John Lightree, dressed in traditional garb, explains the origin of some of the utensils used by early members of the tribe.

Jessica Qin offers some advice to her children, Ryan, 5, and Phoebe, 8, on stringing beads for a necklace.

Naomi C. tries out a dugout canoe similar to ones used by the Patawomeck tribe to navigate on Aquia Creek.

They’ve read their history and know about World War I, but there is nothing personal about it. Their grandfathers and in some cases great-grandfathers might have fought in World War II, but World War I is just too long ago. And I guess that’s the point.

Knowing a few men who fought in World War I and hearing their stories is a part of my legacy. A legacy that I think is special, as I am sure it is for other people my age and older.

And on what used to be called Armistice Day and what is now known Veterans Day, I am pleased I can take a moment to remember my two beloved great uncles.

Over 100 years ago, as veterans did before and have since, they answered their country’s call. Thanks Carl and Harley and all the other men and women who joined the ranks in this long-ago war that ended a century ago.

the kind that brings people on both sides together to search for the root causes of an issue, consider the basic reasons people are at odds with each other, treat all involved with civility, and, most importantly, look for a solution to end the disagreement — is sadly lacking.

The real tragedy is that we have stopped looking for the real leader.

We have instead lined up like soldiers to follow generals who seek victory not the end of the dispute. Perhaps the real tragedy is that we continue to follow these generals at all levels of government, without demanding that these battles stop and that generals be replaced with true leaders who seek a path that satisfies both sides and lets the issue die.

I don’t know where such a true leader or leaders can be found.

Stafford schools earn Virginia Purple Star awards Several Stafford County schools were recognized for helping meet the needs of military-connected students and their families, according to a news release.

Colonial Forge High, Conway Elementary, Kate Waller Barrett Elementary, Park Ridge Elementary, Rocky Run Elementary and Holy Cross Academy recently earned Purple Star awards from the Virginia Department of Education and the Virginia Council on the Interstate Compact on the Educational Opportunity for Military Children.

To qualify for a Purple Star, schools must have a trained staff member designated as a primary point of contact for military families and students. The point of contact also serves as a liaison between the school and local military communities. Schools must also demonstrate their commitment to meeting the needs of military students by providing resources and programming on issues important to military families, such as transitions and academic planning.

“Virginia is proud to have one of the nation’s largest numbers of military-connected students in our schools, but we also know that repeated relocations or separation when a parent is deployed can be challenging for military families,” said Gov. Ralph Northam.

“As a former Marine, I recognize and appreciate the sacrifices required of each member of a military family,” said Virginia Secretary of Education Atif Qarni. “When we celebrate schools for their commitment to these military-connected students and families, we also celebrate and support the efforts of our Armed Forces.”

This is the first year VDOE and the Virginia Council designated Purple Star schools.

Schools earning the award receive a Virginia Purple Star commemorative coin to display and are listed as a Purple Star school on the VDOE Military Families webpage. Purple Star schools retain the designation for three years before being required to reapply.

Historical Society’s ornament recalls Quantico expansion The Stafford County Historical Society’s new tree ornament recalls a time during World War II when the U.S. Marine Corps wished to expand Marine Corps Base Quantico.

In 1942, the U.S. government condemned 30,000 acres of Stafford County and gave residents had less than three weeks warning to pack their belongings and find a new home.

The residents had to leave their homes, churches, schools and cemeteries. One displaced resident, William W. Cloe, said, “If they need my farm to get through this war, then they can have it.”

The ornaments will be sold for $15 in the lobby of the Stafford Administration Building on Friday, Nov. 9 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Later, ornaments will be available for $15 at the Citizen’s Assistance Office GOLD

the system looks to attack anyone who will bring quiet to the battlefield.

Perhaps when we the people become sick of battles that don’t solve the root causes and don’t enlist to line up on the battlefield, we will see this growing system of discontent replaced with a driving need to solve and not just be the victor.

I know this sounds very noble but hopefully someone who reads this and is tired of this growing divisiveness will do something to enlist others in the search for true leaders to create solutions, and not generals to lead us in battle.

DR. CARL HENRY ERNST

Dr. Carl Henry Ernst passed away on Saturday, November 3, 2018 at the age of 80 years. Born in Lancaster on September 28, 1938, he was the son of the late George Henry and Evelyn Mae (Schlotzhauer) Ernst, and the husband of Dr. Evelyn Marie (Chasteen) Ernst of Leola.

He was a member of Covenant United Methodist Church.

Dr. Ernst grew up in the Seventh Ward of Lancaster and graduated from J.P. McCaskey High School in 1956. He went on to earn the B.S. degree from Millersville University in 1960, the M.Ed. from West Chester University in 1963, and the Ph.D., in Vertebrae Zoology, from the University of Kentucky in 1969.

His teaching career began at Hempfield High School, where he taught biology and coached wrestling. While doing research in Lancaster County for his Ph.D., he taught biology courses at Elizabethtown College. Dr. Ernst also taught vertebrae zoology courses and served as the curator of the Vertebrae Animal Collector at the University of Kentucky. Upon leaving the University of Kentucky, he first taught zoology courses at Southwest Minnesota State University, and then for 32 years at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. There, Dr. Ernst taught graduate vertebrae zoology and ecology courses, and served as Chairman of the Department of Environmental Science and Policy. During his tenure at George Mason University as a full Professor of Biology, he directed the graduate degrees of 51 Master’s students and 20 Ph.D. students, and was named the Distinguished Professor of Herpetology by the University in 1986.

Dr. Ernst served as a Research Associate in the Division of Amphibians and Reptiles, Department of Zoology, Smithsonian Institution from 1972 until his death. An accomplished researcher on snakes and turtles, he published over 240 scientific papers in peer-reviewed science journals and authored 11 books. Two of his books earned national honors. He was awarded the Outstanding Publication of the Year in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation by the Wildlife Society for two editions of “Turtles of the United States” in 1972 and 2011; equivalent to the Pulitzer Prize in this field, and a singular honor to be awarded twice. The 1992 book, “Venomous Reptiles of North America,” was named the Natural History Book of the Year by the American Library Association. Several of his other books were also nominated for national awards. During his research career, Dr. Ernst discovered and named five turtles and a parasitic worm new to science, and was recognized as an international expert on turtles. The Escambia Map Turtle, Graptemys ernsti, was described and named in his honor by one of his former graduate students.

Other honors bestowed upon him during his career included being named a full member of the research association, The Society of the Sigma Xi, in 1968 while still a graduate student at the University of Kentucky, only the second student at the University to be so honored with full membership. He became a Fellow of the Herpetologists’ League in 1971, and in 1992 was named the first Distinguished Alumni Fellow in the Sciences at Millersville University. His career was capped by being nominated as International Scientist of the Year in 2003.

After his retirement from George Mason University in 2004, he returned to Lancaster County and became heavily involved with his church, and served on several Alumni committees at Millersville University. A popular speaker, he gave several talks on venomous snakes and turtles at Millersville University and the North Museum. He received Distinguished Alumni Awards from both McCaskey High School and Millersville University.

In addition to his wife, surviving Dr. Ernst are his daughters Lydia Ann, wife of Paul W. Dengel, Lynbrook, New York; and Carol Marie-Ernst, wife of Terry Creasap, Stafford, Virginia; and his grandchildren, Emma St Clair Robertson, Luke Henry Robertson, Harrison Wells Dengel, Hayden Augustus Dengel, Brennan Taylor Creasap, and Brayden Tyler Creasap.

Carl was a loving husband, devoted father, and proud grandfather. He lived his life by example, pursuing excellence in all things with determination and persistence. Gifted with a phenomenal memory; a remarkable taxonomic mind; and a unique ability to understand people, places, and events in the larger context of time and history; he valued each minute of his life and was a worthy steward of his time and talents. He will be greatly missed.

Friends and family are respectfully invited to attend a funeral service for Dr. Ernst on Wednesday, November 7, 2018 at 11:00 AM at Covenant United Methodist Church, 110 N Mulberry St, Lancaster, PA 17603. Friends may greet the family from 10:30 AM until the time of service. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family. Flowers may be sent directly to the church, and memorial contributions may be made to the McCaskey High School Alumni Association Fund, 445 N Reservoir St, Lancaster, PA 17602.

e asked InsideNoVa readers to tell us about the important veterans in their lives, and it’s clear when you read these submissions that the service of these men and women has left a lasting impression on their families and friends.

Seeing the work and sacrifice of our veterans inspires some to serve and others to value military service and seek out opportunities to help our veterans.

In a community that still has so many neighbors actively serving, it’s encouraging to see the support

that our local veterans receive long after they have left the battlefield or completed their mission.

On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, we’re happy to recognize and honor local veterans for their service in the following pages, and we thank the advertisers whose support made this recognition possible. For more information on how you can continue to support veterans, visit www.volunteer. va.gov.

PAUL R. THOMPSON

Age: 69 Hometown: Manassas Branch of Service: U.S. Marine Corps Highest rank achieved: Staff sergeant Years of service: 14 Other details: Vietnam veteran Why are you nominating him: My dad is a proud Vietnam veteran. The war really had a major negative impact on him, both mentally and emotionally when he came home from tour. To this day he tears up when thinking of the pain he and his family (his two brothers are also Vietnam vets, one lost a limb in the war) and fellow Marines went through. Being a teen and going overseas for the first time to fight in battle would traumatize anyone. Not to mention they were not

welcomed home with celebrations and open arms like other soldiers.

They were met with opposition and backlash from fellow Americans who protested the war. That did not and still does not stop my dad from being so proud for serving his country.

As he says “Once a Marine, Always a Marine! Ooorah!”

Her overseas assignments included service as commander of the 15th Medical Operations Squadron at Hickam AFB, Hawaii. She also deployed to overseas operational locations and is a graduate of the Air War College.

Why are you nominating her: Ruth’s life has been entirely devoted to public service in multiple civilian and military venues. After graduation from nursing school, she first served as a neonatal intensive care civilian nurse with plans to enter public health nursing. She instead pursued a 21year military career as an Air Force medical leader and commander of operational military medical units.

Today, she represents the Occoquan District on the PW Board of County Supervisors and chairs the PotomacRappahannock Transportation Commission (PRTC). She has led volunteer humanitarian missions on more than a dozen trips to Indonesia and other Asian countries. Her life is about public service.

Puzzles & Horoscopes Need to double check? Find the answers on page 10 CROSSWORD THEME: TWENTYFIRST CENTURY

HOROSCOPES ARIES (Mar. 21- April 20) A major change is underway, with the next couple of days set to see more significant change than the rest of the year combined.

This makes it important to remain centred, while realising that where there is change there can be anxiety, not necessarily experienced yourself, but for those around you.

TAURUS (Apr. 21- May 21) With Uranus just two days away from retrograding back out of Taurus, the planet that returned in May to help you find your personal truth, is taking a break before returning in March. These final days are a chance to look back and join the dots.

GEMINI (May 22-June 21) On one side you have the Moon, Venus and Ceres drawing closer to a rare triple alignment in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart tomorrow. On the other side you have the Sun and Jupiter, who are starting to get very serious about work and job matters. This is not a time to choose sides, aim for a balance between work and play.

CANCER (June 22-July 22) As much as there is a significant sense of anticipation across the home, creative, work and even relationship fronts, a thread running through this is a sense that there are major personal changes ahead. Fear of the unknown is just naturally, but any anxiety is more likely to be a misdiagnosed sense of anticipation.

LEO (July 23-Aug 22) Having come full circle from last month’s New Moon, this was always going to be an important visit, with a chance to finish correspondence begun back then or just return to finish what was started. Over the next few days to have the communication lines open, especially on the relationship front.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 -Sept. 23) The Moon’s departure from Virgo, has left you with your instincts sharp and an intuitive edge that will serve you well over the coming days. There will be a point where the whole dynamics of the year are shifting, this puts you ahead of the curve. In all aspects of your life, continue to trust your sixth sense, especially when it conflicts with what your head is telling you.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 -Oct. 23) Venus has returned with an opportunity for a do over, but four weeks on from a New Moon

8

that brought a chance to commit to your new solar year and the journey ahead, this really is a second chance.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22) With Venus and Mercury gone from Scorpio but both back by this time next month, you have the best of both worlds. This leaves the Sun and Jupiter on their own and with Jupiter just four days away from leaving, this allows you to focus on the big picture. Venus and Mercury are out of the way, but will return next month to help with the details and to tie up loose ends.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 -Dec. 21) Mercury returns once a year, always during or just before your birthday month, with a chance to get your head in the game and to help you make smart choices, decisions and plans. While your birthday month is still several weeks away, with Jupiter just days away from opening major new doors, you’re already able to spend time at the drawing board.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22.- Jan. 20) When we look at and join the dots, we can appreciate that most of the really important things in our life didn’t happen because we planned them, they happened serendipitously. Not only that, a lot of things that end up to be the most serendipitous, present as the things we don’t have time for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 -Feb. 19) As we move into an accelerated period of change, having Mars in Aquarius is turning this into an exciting experience. Especially if you tap into Mars’ courage, choosing to embrace life with passion and without fear.

Living fearlessly is a choice and it means having the courage to be true to yourself. In all you do, you need to be able to say ‘this is me’.

When you find yourself saying ‘this isn’t me’, listen.

PISCES (Feb. 20-Mar. 20) If a bit of pressure from the Moon over the last few days pushed some buttons, you will find that this is already turning into a sense of passion and determination. These wakeup calls have woken you to the things you’ve forgotten and especially to those things that are important to you. If you’re feeling fired up, turn this into a sense of excitement.
