arly Allphin loves to watch baseball. She plays in the Brooke Point High School marching band. But earlier this year, she was told for the third time that she would never walk again. The first sign of trouble began over two years ago. To celebrate her fourteenth birthday, Carly went on a trip to New York City with a few family members. After walking around the city all day, she complained that her back hurt. Her mother, Krista, admitted to having some muscle soreness of her own. Over the coming months, Carly’s pain reappeared with increasing frequency, and she was taken to the emergency room several times. After each visit, she was sent home with pain medication.

care for Carly’s five younger siblings. Fourteen rounds of chemotherapy, multiple treatments of radiation, and participation in a clinical trial in Philadelphia saved her life. Carly is upbeat and appreciative of the experiences she’s had due to her illness. After her initial diagnosis, she unplugged from electronics for a couple months, but one close friend texted her each day with upbeat messages and scriptural references. Carly also liked her time at the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia, commonly referred to as the House of Miracles. “It was amazing to be around people who are going through things that are similar to you.” Though she certainly wouldn’t have chosen to have cancer, Carly is grateful for the perspective she’s gained. “If I could go back, I wouldn’t change it.” She added, “When you’re in it, having terrible days makes the good days better.” She remembers her first good day, a day when she felt well enough to enjoy the sunshine. Her mother made popcorn, and she ate it in her hospital bed. She also is grateful she didn’t fully understand her initial prognosis. “I didn’t realize how close I was to not living.” Only this past February, she sat in a meeting at her church building with her mother to receive information about the pioneer trek her youth group would participate in. “Here we were, listening to them talk about the kids hiking 12 miles, and the

doctors were telling Carly she might lose her left leg and wouldn’t be able to walk again,” Krista Allphin recalls. Defying the odds, Carly not only kept her leg, but a few months later she also received the news that she was cancer free and was given the all clear to participate in the pioneer re-enactment. David Edwards, one of the adult leaders on the trek, summed up Carly’s experience: “She’s a rock star.” While many of the teenagers and adults struggled with the heat, humidity, grueling hills and rough terrain, Carly walked almost all 12 miles on the three-day journey. Today, Carly is embracing her new normal. She loves being able to attend school in a normal classroom and spend time with her family. She also appreciates the increased closeness she has with her parents, as well as her increased spirituality over the past two years. “I have grown so much closer to the Lord through my experiences. There were times when I thought, ‘Why did God have to do this to me?’ but when I tried to rely on the Lord, that’s what helped me gain my testimony of the atonement.” Carly’s advice to those who haven’t faced cancer: “Enjoy the little things.” Traci Abramson is a public affairs representative for the Stafford Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

speaker if Republicans maintain a majority, wrote in a statement. But the state board is now opting to wait for any legal challenges to the results to play out. Cole had previously filed a federal lawsuit in an effort to force Stafford County officials to count 55 latearriving absentee ballots, but a judge denied that request on Nov. 17 Cole’s lawyers argued that some sort of error by postal workers resulted in the 55 ballots arriving to the Stafford offices the morning after the election, and that such a mistake should not disenfranchise the people who sent in those ballots. But attorneys for County Registrar Greg Riddlemoser and the electoral board pointed out that Cole did not provide much in the way of evidence of any mishap at the local post office, and U.S. Senior District Judge Claude Hilton agreed. “There’s no indication that there was any type of problem here, and there are state remedies if there was,” Hilton said. Patrick Lewis, an attorney for Thomas and the county’s Republican Committee, argued that it’s “not the place of a federal court to second-guess election minutiae,” noting that there are state laws that would allow Cole to contest the results of the election. Marc Elias, another attorney for Cole, wrote in a statement that House Democrats are “currently assessing our options,” and decried Hilton’s decision. “We are pleased the judge applied the law fairly and evenly, as did the local electoral board,” Parker Slaybaugh, a spokesman for Cox, wrote in an email.

Amanda Callais, a lawyer for Cole, framed the debate primarily on constitutional grounds. She charged that the electoral board violated the First and 14th Amendment rights of the people who cast those ballots, and its decision not to count those votes was “an instance of patent unfairness that erodes the democratic process in Virginia and the whole United States.” In particular, she pointed to an email sent by Riddlemoser to state election officials the day after the election as evidence that the late arrival of the ballots was far from a “garden variety election error.” In the email, Riddlemoser wrote that there’s “no possible way in my military mind” that the 55 ballots should not have made it to the county offices by Election Day. But Riddlemoser testified that, in hindsight, he felt the email was “unfortunate and unnecessary.” He also pointed out that he has received absentee ballots “anywhere from six weeks, even six months” after elections for the last six years he has worked as registrar. As of press time, Cole has yet to file new legal action at the state or federal level, according to online court records, though any voter who believes they received the wrong ballot could also file suit. However, the board did certify the results in two other razor-close elections: the 94th District and the 40th District, which covers parts of western Prince William and Fairfax counties. The Democratic challengers in those races have until Nov. 30 to request for a recount, and both have expressed a willingness to do so.

rightly called the Mayflower Compact one of our nation’s founding documents. The pilgrims also learned some economic lessons. When they arrived, their plan was to farm the land collectively. The investors back in London liked this approach and thought it would bring them the best return. However, this early experiment in socialism failed miserably and is associated with what the Pilgrims called the “starving time.” After a couple of years of trying collective farming, they tried something new. Without the permission of their backers in London, the Pilgrims decided to farm their land individually. It was an immediate success and production boomed. Then there were their relations with the Indians. While our history is dominated by our mistreatment of the original Americans, the Pilgrims took a different view. There were conflicts, but overall, when the Pilgrims made agreements with the Indians, they kept them. Also, they showed them respect. After all, the Pilgrims invited the Indians to their first Thanksgiving meals. Peace between new arrivals and the Indians wouldn’t be broken until well after the first Pilgrims had died. These were remarkable people and great Americans. They were daring, innovative, individualistic and a people who tried to live by their beliefs. So, between the football, the food and giving thanks, raise a glass--yes, they liked wine--to these early American settlers. They deserve it.

Clearly, the real victim of the election was the continued diminished confidence of voters in the electoral system. Ongoing accusations, innuendo and the expected internet trolls attempting to perpetuate a narrative of incompetence are disturbing. Specifically, communication media implying Riddlemoser acted without propriety and possibly illegally are simply false. What the Air Force veteran of 23 combat missions over Iraq did was simply follow the election law to the letter, and he should be commended for another well-coordinated and smoothly run election. It was an election that clearly did not sit well with Republicans, nor victorious Democrats who sought all the marbles.

that caused the results in the 28th District and in the Garrisonville supervisor race to be allegedly flawed. When examining the facts with respect to this issue, one must conclude failures by my media colleagues to responsibly execute their due research diligence perpetuated a smoke screen that unfairly indicted Riddlemoser. Justification for the inadequacy of the ballot tracking system is found in Virginia’s largest voting locality in northern Fairfax. There, Registrar

Cameron Sasnett validated that the system was an option and not a requirement. The option in its current form, he said, was in fact last minute by the state prior to ballots being send. Now being a veteran myself I remain aware of the difficulty our military community has voting in a timely fashion, especially when overseas or in a combat zone. Sasnett confirms the need for the program to be modified when he states,

“The system only tracks through the U.S. postal system. But it is compromised in the military postal system, where it is not.” Clearly, time-sensitive voting remains in flux, which should remain the top priority for the next General Assembly and our new governor. While that totally vindicates Riddlemoser for any alleged impropriety along with the recent court action that also sided with him regarding the election process, the desire for one party to at-

The dog must wear a “dangerous dog” tag on his collar at all times. The dog must be confined inside the owner’s residence or confined in a proper enclose and fenced-in yard, with signs posted designating a “dangerous dog” lives there. If taken out in public, the dog must be kept on leash and muzzled. Owners who fail to comply with these penalties will be charged with a Class I misdemeanor. Dogs bite for many different reasons and circumstances, and it’s very easy for a dog that otherwise has always been safe to find himself in a situation where things take a turn for the worst and get out of control in an instant. And this is where we, as owners, are challenged with ensuring that our dog(s) are not put in high risk situations. Public safety starts with first being a responsible dog owner and keeping your dog out of unpredictable situations. Stafford business owner Laurie C.

Unbeaten Colonial Forge advances to region final » BY DAVID STEGON

For InsideNoVa.com

Josh Sarratt walked out of the locker room with a gold medal hanging from his neck. Called a “turnover chain,” Sarratt got the reward for a fourth quarter interception but it was catch a few plays later he’ll likely remember more. Sarratt’s 1-yard touchdown catch with 2:34 remaining in Colonial Forge’s Region 6B semifinal secured the Eagles’ 24-14 win over visiting Riverbend on Friday night. Colonial Forge entered as the region’s top seed after a 10-0 record season and enjoyed a first round bye last week only to find themselves trailing 14-12 heading into the fourth quarter. “Riverbend didn’t enter the game with the best record, but as I tell my team: When you get the playoffs every opponent will play to their last breath, because they don’t want their season to end,” Colonial Forge Coach Bill Brown said. “It is the good teams that are able to respond in games like this and figure out a way to win.” Colonial Forge ran out to a ninepoint lead in the game’s first six minutes, but the Bears kept the game close. Riverbend running back Brian Malera capped a 20-play, 80-yard drive with a 2-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to make the score 9-7. The Eagles added a field goal on their next drive and were poised to take a commanding lead heading into halftime. Leading 12-7, Colonial Forge drove the field the final four minutes of the first half. They turned the ball over on downs, though, after three runs from the 1-yard line fell short. Riverbend would then put together a 13-play drive to open the third quarter, taking a 14-12 lead when quarterback Madden Lowe found Ben Skinner on a 12-yard touchdown. “We lost to them by two points when I was a freshman,” said Sarratt, now a junior. “There was no way I was going to let that happen again. My teammates and I just tried to do everything we could to get the lead back.” Colonial Forge would take control from there. Nigel Reddick blocked a Riverbend punt, the ball rolling out the endzone for a safety to tie the game with 10:26 remaining. A little more than four minutes later,

Colonial Forge’s Ernesto Bowen runs the ball Nov. 17 against Riverbend.

Colonial Forge kicker Jadon Redding nailed a 43-yard field goal to take the lead. The make came one drive after Redding missed a 46-yard field goal, that one bouncing off the bottom crossbar. “There was never a doubt to send him out there again,” Brown said. After trading interceptions, Lowe completed a 50-yard screen pass to Melara that would get called back for holding. Facing 4th and 12 from their own 8-yard line and four minutes remaining, Riverbend opted to try for the first down, but the pass fell incomplete. Colonial Forge ran the ball to the 1-yard line and again faced fourth down. Brown and his coaches, though, opted away from the run with quarterback Ethan Garwood hitting Sarratt off play action. “The run kept getting stuffed but after talking it over with the coaches we came up with a great play call that sealed the game,” Sarratt said. Colonial Forge will host Manchester Friday at 7 p.m. in the region final.

Horton, New Hampshire prepare for football playoﬀs » BY DAVID DRIVER

For InsideNova

There is a new defensive ends coach at the University of New Hampshire this season. And that has meant good news for Jae’Wuan Horton, a redshirt junior defensive end for the Wildcats and a former North Stafford High School standout. The new coach is Chris Ellis, a Hampton native who was drafted in the third

round by the Buffalo Bills in 2008 out of Virginia Tech. He played for the Bills and Pittsburgh Steelers before coaching at Frostburg State in Maryland and at Christopher Newport. “Some of the things he has taught us, he has done himself. He has been through some of the same things,” Horton said of Ellis. Those tips have paid off for Horton. “This is the best I have felt since I have been here,” Horton said.

New Hampshire is 7-4 overall and 5-3 in the Colonial Athletic Association after a disappointing 15-0 loss to Albany (4-7, 2-6) on Saturday. The Wildcats entered the game No. 16 in the nation and will now play at home Saturday, Nov. 25 in the national playoffs against Central Connecticut State at 2 p.m. New Hampshire has now made the national playoffs 14 years in a row. “They have talented kids throughout the system,” UNH veteran coach Sean EDUCATION

McDonnell told the Sun on Monday about Central Connecticut. “They have a good size offensive line. Their offensive line is giving their team a chance to run the ball. You see the talent of that side of the ball.” James Madison (11-0, 8-0 in the CAA) beat Elon 31-3 Saturday and completed its first unbeaten regular season since 1975.

pions, ranked No. 1 in the nation and have a bye in the first weekend of the national tourney. The Dukes will play Dec. 2 at home against the winner of Lehigh and Stony Brook of the CAA. JMU beat New Hampshire in October and then the Wildcats won three games in a row. “I just think we knew after the JMU loss we could not lose any more,” Horton said. As a redshirt freshman he watched as the Wildcats beat Fordham in the playoffs. “That was a great game,” he said. Horton has 42 tackles in the first 11 games this year, which ranks seventh on the team. “He has been our best defensive end from day coming out of training camp. He has improved extensively in stopping the run. He has always had the ability on rushing the quarterback. He also brings a lot of stability to the front line. The kids love him. He is a really hard-working kid. He is a huge part of our defense,” McDonnell said. Horton had three tackles, and one sack, in an impressive win over Elon earlier this season. In that game the Wildcats held Elon to a season-low 31 yards on the ground and the Phoenix didn’t score until the final minutes of the game. Horton started all of the 13 games in which he played last season and had 28 total tackles and was second on the team with four sacks. He was an a CAA Academic All-conference player in 2015 when he started all 11 of the games in which he played and had 42 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks. The Stafford resident was a redshirt and didn’t play in 2014. Horton helped North Stafford to a second straight state semifinal appearance and was a senior captain. He had 17 sacks as a senior and 76 total tackles and had a 3.8 grade-point average in high school. Another Stafford resident on the New Hampshire roster was Benveal Hill, Jr., a freshman wide receiver from Brooke Point High.

COLLINS ENDS SEASON WITH RICHMOND Another Stafford product in the CAA this season was Gordon Collins, a redshirt junior running back for Richmond. Collins ran for 17 yards on six carries on Nov. 11 in a 20-13 loss against firstplace JMU. “The knee has not been an issue,” Russ Huesman, the first-year head coach of the Spiders, said earlier this month. “Gordon has been banged up all year. He has some shoulder issues; he is a tough kid. It is not the kind of year he wanted to have. You have to give Gordon credit; he is a fighter and is giving us all he’s got.” The Spiders (6-5, 4-4) ended the season Nov. 18 against rival William & Mary with a 27-20 win. Collins ran one time for 11 yards. The Tribe was 0-8 in the CAA this year. Collins ran for 242 yards on 54 carries and had four touchdowns this year. CLASSIFIED

RITCHIE COMMITS TO VIRGINIA SOFTBALL Arizona Ritchie has signed a national letter of intent to play softball for the University of Virginia. The shortstop from Brooke Point is a twotime player of the year and the daughter of Gregg Ritchie, the head baseball coach at George Washington University and a former hitting coach for the Pittsburgh Pirates. “We believe Arizona’s goals and core values align perfectly with UVA,” Cavaliers head coach Joanna Hardin state in a statement. “She brings depth to our middle infield and her softball IQ through the roof. She has been around baseball/softball her entire life and will be a pillar for the future success of our program.

T. BENTON GAYLE MIDDLE SCHOOL BOASTS LIBRARIAN OF THE YEAR Stafford County Public Schools recently announced that Nathan Sekinger of T. Benton Gayle Middle School has been named the state librarian of the year by the Virginia Association of School Librarians. Sekinger is a national board-certified school librarian who also teaches English at Germanna Community College. He encourages everyone who visits his library to explore ideas and content, and supports collaboration to help classroom connections and technology integration. He is best known for his cutting-edge leadership and for turning the library into a true “makerspace.” The maker movement focuses teaching and learning on student-centered inquiry. In one library project, student “makers” learned how to build working models of muscle groups in the human arm and leg. In another project, students learned about and grew hydroponic plants. Sekinger’s library is far more than books on shelves but instead features project-based learning. It is a learning laboratory for students, according to SCPS and the VASL.

VETS HAUL JUNK STARTED IN STAFFORD Area homeowners and businesses have a new junk removal service when the clutter and debris get too much: Vets Haul Junk. The firm serves Stafford, Quantico and Frederickburg. Owned and operated by a U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan, the idea for Vets Haul Junk came to Joseph Martinez as he recuperated at the Warrior Transition Battalion (Wounded Warrior Barracks) at Fort Bliss, Texas, according to a news release. “Vets Haul Junk started out as a way for me to make some extra dollars using the values I learned in the U.S. Army to grow my business – respect, honesty and a hard work ethic. In turn, my new business gave me a way to cope with my PTSD” said Martinez. The company specializes in general junk removal and has flat-rate pricing. For more, visit vetshauljunk.com.

STAFFORD HIGH THEATER STUDENTS TO STAGE ‘THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE’ The Stafford Players, Stafford High School’s theater students, will bring the magical world of Narnia to the stage in “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” in December. The play is open to the public and geared toward both children and adults. During the World War II air raid of London, the Pevensie children are evacuated to an estate in the English countryside. While exploring the house, the youngest sister finds a mysterious wardrobe in an otherwise deserted room. On the other side, she finds a mystical land. She informs her sister and brothers of her visit to the land called Narnia, and when they try to escape the strict housekeeper, they hide in the wardrobe together. To their surprise, they find themselves in a country perpetually covered in snow and ruled by the cold-hearted White Witch. The children are befriended by the residents of Narnia – animals and mythical creatures – including the powerful and brave lion, Aslan. They join Aslan to defeat the White Witch and bring Narnia back to the beauEDUCATION
