GETTING PREPARED

Truck drivers prevail, can use local roads Supervisors deny proposal for through-truck restrictions TRACY BELL

tbell@insidenova.com

ruck drivers using local roads scored a win Tuesday when the Stafford County Board of Supervisors heard their pleas and then sided with them. The board voted 6-0 to deny two proposals that would have sought through-truck restrictions on several Stafford roads. Supervisor Laura Sellers, R-Garrisonville, was absent from the meeting. Had the proposal been approved, supervisors would have requested that the Virginia Department of Transportation enact restrictions on Enon Road and portions of Truslow Road, and/or another on Sanford Road. “Your participation tonight has paid off,” Robert Thomas, R-George Washington, told a group of truckers who use local roads. The men spoke against the proposal Tuesday. The truckers told the board they have a right to use the roads. The proposal came about because residents in the area have been concerned about a high volume of through-truck traffic and the possibility that the traffic will continue to utiLOCAL lize the routes to avoid PAGE 4 major traffic delays on

Stafford County residents’ median household income still growing DAVID STEGON

FOR INSIDENOVA

tafford County’s median household income was above the 2015 area average at $95,882, an increase from $93,422 in 2014. The numbers come from the Census Bureau’s 2015 American Community Survey that includes demographic information in 40 different areas, including income, population and education. The data was accumulated during the 2015 calendar year. Stafford County’s population continued to grow, as it now stands at just over 142,000. Staf-

ford County has seen growth in the last 10 years as the county hosted 116,424 residents in 2005. The median household income in the United States is $55,775 and $66,262 for the state of Virginia. As expected, the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area remained one of the wealthiest in the nation, with the median income at $93,294. The average Prince William County household made $99,766 per year, well above the both the national and state averages, as well as more than $6,000 above the average household in the Washington, D.C., area. The total is slightly higher than 2014 when the median

income for Prince William County households was $98,514. Prince William County’s population also continued to grow. The county has an estimated 451,721 residents. That number marks a sharp growth from just 10 years ago when the county had only 346,790 residents. “The American Community Survey allows us to track incremental changes across our nation on how Americans live and work, year-to-year,” Census Bureau Director John H. Thompson said in a released statement. GROW “It helps people, PAGE 4 business es and

Construction scheduled at North Stafford schools Stafford County Public Schools has two high school projects planned for this school year, according to the division communication analyst, Samantha Bates. At Mountain View High School construction on a two-story classroom addition began in early September on the front of the building. Construction on

a wellness addition and a fine arts addition, both on the side of the building, will begin in the near future. Projects will continue throughout the school year. Additionally, construction will begin on a two-story main entry vestibule on the front of the building in May 2017. This construction will affect how the

public enters the school from May 2017 through the beginning of the school year. At North Stafford High School replacement of a cooling tower will begin Oct. 1 and continue through March 2017. The tower, in the rear of the building near the loading dock, will occupy space in the rear parking lot for equip-

ment staging. Mechanical yard upgrades will be completed as part of this project, including new pavement, new fencing, a new concrete curb, and demolition of two existing storage buildings. This project was scheduled for winter months to not interfere with cooling the building, as this tower is an integral part of the school’s air conditioning system.

by Sidney Shannon Jr., aircraft enthusiast and Spotsylvania County native. Shannon acquired and restored the planes before establishing the museum in June 1976, in honor of his father and aviation pioneer, Sidney Shannon Sr. The museum housed the aircraft and thousands of related artifacts prior to its closure in 1985. After the Shannon Air Museum closure, the collection of aircraft made its way to the Virginia Aviation Museum in Richmond. The 12 planes were displayed for three decades in the recently-closed museum and will now make the journey back home to reside in the new Shannon Air Museum, which will reopen to the public in spring 2017. The Shannon collection boasts rare aircraft including the only known surviving Vultee V-1A, the SPAD VII prized fighter from World War I, the Pitcairn PA-5 Mailwing and the Bellanca CH-400 Skyrocket. — Staff report

I teach a class a Virginia Commonwealth University and nobody, when out of curiosity I polled the class, wore a watch. What a generational DAVID KERR shift. When I was an undergraduate I always had a watch. I didn’t want to be late for class or for work or for a date. There were public clocks, of course, but they weren’t always handy. Besides, back in the day, I had a digital watch and I liked to show it off. It was high tech, back in the day, and always managed to impress my friends. I had bought it for the princely sum of $35. My father said it was a complete waste of money. He was probably right. While my students rely on their cell phones or other gadgets to give them the time, and, to their credit, hardly anyone is late, I think they’re missing out on something. A pocket device is a miracle of technology. I rely on my iphone, but I don’t get all warm and fuzzy about it. It has no history, and I am sure that I am not going to leave it to anyone in my will. But that’s not true of a very personal heirloom I inherited from my father. Actually, he gave it to me before he passed on. It is a Rolex watch. It was with him on Iwo Jima and Okinawa, as

well in China and during the preparation for Operation Crossroads. The latter was an atomic bomb test on Bikini Island. The proper product name of the watch is Oyster Lipton. It’s a Rolex alright. I checked the company website and the watch was manufactured in 1939. My Dad received got it as a gift before going to war. Mind you, it’s possible he could also have won it in a poker game and cleaned up the story later. That wouldn’t have been out of character. But, suffice it to say, he wore it throughout the war and for decades after. The crystal was even smashed while he was on Bikini. He put it in one of his fatigue pockets, assuming perhaps it was damaged beyond repair, but managed to find a jeweler in San Francisco who was able to put it back together. I remember admiring it when I was little. Though I wasn’t allowed to do anything more than hold it for a little while. I wasn’t to try winding it or setting it. Apparently, the mechanism was a little delicate. Too many wartime jolts and impacts had left it a little touchy. In the 1980s it stopped working. My Dad just figured its day was done. Also, he wasn’t feeling well and wasn’t up to chasing down a jeweler who might fix it. Besides, most of the jewelers he visited just wanted to sell him a new watch. But, when I mentioned an article I had read that said Rolex would always fix any

on the matter, said that his decision centered on clarifying what technically is considered a large truck. In considering truck sizes, Snellings ultimately decided that knowing plenty of people who have three-quarter ton trucks, he could not “in good conscience” support the proposal. The truck drivers told supervisors that the roads in Stafford County are for everyone. They explained that driving the trucks is their livelihood and they are entitled to drive on the roads, too.

of their watches, no matter how old they were, he said, “Fine, you find someone to do it, and it’s your watch.” A gift with a challenge attached to it; who could resist. Of all places, I found what can only be described as an old-fashioned jeweler, with a profound New York accent, working at a local Bell outlet. The watch intrigued the old jeweler, and, using a Telex to place orders for parts in Switzerland, he managed to once again bring it to life. It took him about two months. He was proud it now kept near perfect time. His total bill was $80. The watch is still among my most prized possessions and will be left to someone who can appreciate its legacy both in war and peace. Its 77 years old. That’s amazing. And I wear when I go to see my Mom, who’s in assisted living and really likes to see it still in use, and whenever I am doing anything where I feel like I could use just a little bit of extra luck. Fortunately, I have never had to wear it in battle, but I know my Dad believed it helped get him through that as well. So, maybe it can help me through the occasional speech or difficult meeting. Either way I have every confidence that it has another 77 years left in it.

The data recently released only included communities with populations larger than 65,000. From a national perspective, 21 of the nation’s 25 largest metropolitan areas saw an increase in income while poverty decreased in 16 of those areas. The decrease in poverty was actually the largest decrease in year-over-year poverty rate since 1999. D av e Steg on c an be reached at info@insidenova.com.

FAMILY TECH | MARK STOUT

Aftermarket car tech can save thousands of dollars Our recent venture into the wonderful world of car buying brought home the nicest car I’ve ever driven. That’s saying a lot—but on MARK STOUT the other hand my brother never has let me drive his classic roadster or Lexus —but I digress. We ventured forth with a list of musthave and nice-to-have features. We came home without any of the nice-to-haves. Our list of Android Auto, heated seats and a backup camera were available but added thousands to the cost. And in one vehicle the package with those items came only with a third row of seats—seats that only a toddler would fit in, and would take away useful storage space. This is my first car with Bluetooth technology. I enjoy listening to podcasts and having phone calls through the speaker system instead of my Bluetooth earpiece. Coincidentally, last week’s column was about earpieces. Tech changes fast. Seriously, an earpiece is still good if you are not the only one in the car and you want

to listen to something other than what the rest have chosen. Thankfully, I have found ways to get my nice-to-have features at much lower cost. Android Auto and its Apple equivalent, Apple CarPlay, are devices in some cars that bring some of the functions of your phone to the dashboard. Usually they display map and navigation information in large, easy to see and use displays. Likewise, they make extensive use of voice to read your text messages and permit you to send texts and place calls using voice. Some cars were available with only one of the systems. Some cars had both. Your smartphone, mounted in a dash mount, can do many of the features of Android Auto and CarPlay. Apps, in their respective app stores, duplicate many of the functions. One app I’ve used on my Android phone reads incoming text to me. When I dictate a response, it reads out loud what it thinks I said so I can know for certain before sending it. Other apps have large buttons taking you to apps you might want while driving, like navigation and phone.

And Google announced at their developers’ conference in June that Android Auto would be a stand-alone app for Android phones. I am hoping it is one of the announcements they will make at their event on Oct. 4. CarPlay and Android Auto units are available, too, from well-known manufacturers like Kenwood. My wife’s car has heated seats, and it did not take me long to understand that what I first thought was a needless luxury was a delightful feature on frigid days. They would be nice on my commute. I have found aftermarket heated seats at Amazon. Some install right inside the seats. From the installation video I saw, I would want them professionally installed, as the seats have to be removed from the vehicle and partially disassembled. Others sit on the seat themselves. One costs just $20 per seat. A rental car I drove recently had a backup camera, and it took only one use to convince me these were essential for safety and efficiency.

I found one model that used WiFi to send an image to a phone, but it was pricey and not well reviewed. An $86 model comes with a replacement rearview mirror that has a monitor built in. That seems to be an elegant solution to the monitor problem. The Automatic is a useful device for $130. It plugs into the diagnostic port that is in every car made since 1995. It tells you what a lit check engine light means. In the event of a crash, it notifies a service center via its built-in cellular communications. It does not need a phone to communicate. And the cell service is free for the first year. Together, I could add my missing niceto-have features and the Automatic for less than a $1,000, much less than factory installed would have cost.

IN THE STAFFORD AREA We all have our daily routines. Wake up, fix some coffee, hit the road for work, come home, eat dinner, maybe spend some time with the family or watch some TV, go to sleep, and then do it all over again. But often overlooked is what others do to make those routines possible – and some of the different things that happen in our community. We put a spotlight on “A Day in the Life” of our neighbors. We’re not chronicling every minute of one particular day, but this guide features articles about events and things that happen at different times of an average day that you may not know about. From the nurses who work the overnight shift to take care of our youngest and most vulnerable residents to Stafford County workers and volunteers who help us prepare for disasters, we think you’ll enjoy this look at some things that happen on a typical day in our area. -Bruce Potter, Chief Operating Officer, InsideNoVa/North Stafford

Rock-a-bye, baby Nurses care for the tiniest patients, day and night |

MARIANNE E. WEAVER | FOR INSIDENOVA

L

atchmie Fox of Woodbridge didn’t expect to go into labor at 36 weeks. “I can’t believe how scary it was,” she said. “I am a nurse, so I looked for anything to get scared about, and that never happened.” She credited the calm and competent staff in the maternity department at Sentara Northern Virginia Medical Center in Woodbridge for putting her worries to rest. The staff works around the clock on 12-hour shifts to make sure the tiny charges in their care are safe. “No matter what, babies will born,” said Maureen Karnback, a registered nurse who often works the 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). “You have to be prepared.” The 14-bed NICU provides specialized care, in partnership with Children’s National Health System neonatologists and neonatal nurse practitioners. The Children’s team at Sentara consists of full-time, board-certified neonatologists and neonatal nurse practitioners. “During labor, her heart rate dropped,” said Fox, now cradling her tiny daughter. “They managed that within a minute. As a nurse, I knew that if they can manage that quickly, they can manage anything.” Fox said at birth her daughter fell into the 17th weight percentile – well below average. And she had difficulty regulating her body temperature. During her first night, she had reflux and aspirated, resulting in a drop in oxygen saturation. “Thank God for these people,” Fox said. “You never know what they do until it unfolds around you. They managed all of that, then taught me what to do.” Fox was discharged, but her daughter was not. “It’s tough leaving your kid,” she said. “But I knew I could rest peacefully knowing they would take care of her.” Karnback said the evening routine doesn’t differ much from the day. Babies are bathed, she said. And if the mother is visiting, they teach her how to give a bath. And the preemies are weighed. “Weight is the biggest thing,” she said, noting that it is used by doctors and parents to track a premature infant’s improvement. “The moms call in if they’re not here.” Fox said she expected to take her daughter home the next day, leaving an open space for the next baby. That’s a good thing, according to Karnback. “We are just starting to see

wants to bring child into the world too early, the nurses on the NICU appreciate the beauty of their jobs. “The best part of this job is at 2 a.m.,

when I’m sitting in the rocking chair and rock a baby who is snuggled up under my chin,” Karnback said. “I can’t believe someone actually pays me to do this.”

very Monday night, around 7:45 p.m., they park their cars in the Prince William Ice Center lot in Woodbridge and start pulling out pads, skates and other hockey gear. These are not the high-school hockey players who fill the region’s hockey rinks in pre-dawn hours. They are not the recent college graduates trying to let off steam after a day of kick-starting a new career. They are all 40 years of age or older, and they are part of the center’s Grumpy Old Men league. “We’re not all men, and we’re not all grumpy,” said Margaret Bartha, 45, of Woodbridge, while she skates around the rink. “This is pick-up hockey. It’s loosely organized, but organized enough to be consistently fun.” The league is diverse – there are men and women, some American, some Canadian. They come from all

walks of life: doctors, defense contractors, teachers, FBI employees, retired military and company presidents. Among their ranks are a former major junior hockey player, a professional soccer player and a world powerlifting champion. “It’s a group of guys and a few gals, a bit past their prime, who get together once per week to relive a bit of their youth, bring out their competitive spirit, and throw around some banter,” said David Veit, 61, of King George, a government employee off ice. “And as a side benefit, we get in some serious exercise.” R.J. Zeigler, Prince William Ice Center’s hockey director, said the Grumpy Old Men league is “old school hockey.” Until recently, he said, one goalie wore a 1960s PUCK

mask, because that’s all he’s ever worn. And although the players are competitive, there are no refs. “They are the sterotype of oldschool guys,” said Zeigler. “They come in Monday nights to play hockey, then stick around to drink beer after.” Niel Mairs, 54-year-old teacher and former University of Rochester player and league goalie, was among the league’s founders. “I’ve been playing hockey since I was a teenager and through college. But then I didn’t play for 16 years,” said Mairs, of Culpeper. “I used to take my goalie equipment with me every time I moved, but for the better part of two decades it sat in storage. I started again in ’99 when I accidentally discovered the Fredericksburg Ice Park during a shopping trip to Central Park.” A group in Fredericksburg started with about five players, he said. But word spread and new players joined. Veit joined the adult league in 2002. “Several of us older guys –mostly in our later 30s and 40s—decided that playing in the adult league at the Fredericksburg Ice Park began to be less fun when it was overrun with too many youngsters in their late teens and 20s running around with far too much speed, youth, and (especially) testosterone,” Veit said.

“We pretty much wanted to skate at a slower pace and keep things a bit friendlier. We had to get up and go to work the next day.” The players became good friends, Mairs said. When the Frdericksburg rink closed in 2008, the Grumpy Old Men league moved to Woodbridge. Zeigler said the league usually has 25 to 30 players, who pay $350 to register for the four-month season. Because the pool of players fluctuates week to week, teams are chosen before each game. “We try to balance the skill level of the players,” Mairs said. “We have some guys who are great players and some who barely skate.” Viet and Mairs agreed: The greatest benefit of playing is the camaraderie. “I enjoy the banter before we play and the socialization afterwards,” said Mairs. “Also, for one hour and 20 minutes every week I am young again. My mind remembers a younger version of myself (even if my body doesn’t emulate it), and I can feel a shadow of the thrill I felt being an athlete. It’s funny also many of the aches, pains, and soreness I may feel at my age off the ice fade away when I’m on it. Maybe there’s just a little of the fountain of youth in the water that makes hockey ice?”

Cancer doesn’t wait until October. Neither should you. 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer. While Breast Cancer Awareness month is important for education, women should be certain to remain vigilant year-round. Prevention is key to beating breast cancer, and these guidelines can help women stay one step ahead: • Annual screening mammograms should start at age 40. • Self-exams should be considered based on each woman’s comfort level. • Annual exams by doctors should start at age 21, or earlier if a woman experiences any symptoms. Our breast care team is dedicated to providing the latest treatment options, emotional support, and education to all women in need.

Mountain View High adjusts offense to overcome loss of Ahmad Tweedy

» By David Stegon InsideNova

Outside the wins and losses, high school football can serve as a teaching environment for coaches, especially during times that just plain stink. During the fourth quarter of Mountain View’s season opener against Freedom, quarterback Ahmad Tweedy went down with what looked like an ankle injury that would let him return later in the season. It turned out to be much worse, an injured meniscus that would require surgery and put Tweedy’s senior season in doubt. “In more than 35 years of coaching, he has been one of the best kids I’ve gotten to coach,” Mountain View coach Lou Sorrentino said. “We’re not putting a timetable on his return. As a coach, you hope to win enough games to make the playoffs and hold out a little hope he can return, but we don’t want to put any pressure on him. He has a bright future and we don’t want to do anything to jeopardize that.” Tweedy, who threw and rushed for more than 1,000 yards last season, has received a number of college offers, including one from the U.S. Military Academy. In his absence, Sorrentino and the coaching staff have tried to get creative. Starting running back Jamil Collison-Cofie stepped in at quarterback, but the offense lacks the passing threat that Tweedy presented. The Wildcats were able to successfully run-in victories over Osbourn Park and Gar-Field, including running back Nyle Van Doren, but the offense ground to a halt in a 31-7 loss against Colonial Forge. “We were exposed against Forge,” Sorrentino said. “They moved several players up in the box, and without a pass gaming to scare them off we were unable to do much.” Following Friday’s game against Patriot, Mountain View has a bye week. Sorrentino said any major changes the offense makes

will come within that week. In the meantime, he’s tried to find ways to get the ball to the team’s talented wide receivers of Tre Coghill and Brandon White. Sorrentino devised a set where the two receivers lined up in the backfield next to Collison-Cofie in an effort to find ways to get the ball in their hands.

Mountain View relied heavily on its offense in recent years, typically winning games in high-scoring shootouts. Sorrentino admits the wins may be harder to come by this season, but they are still there to be had. “Football is about more than one player, but we’ve had to adjust what we do,”

Sorrentino said. “This is a learning experience for the players. Life doesn’t always go as planned, and you have to deal with it and adapt. To their credit, they’ve pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and accepted it.” Dave Stegon can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.

State parks offering hunting Virginia State Parks offer a variety of hunting opportunities, including reservation- only hunts and open hunting, throughout the season. Hunters can reserve stands or zones on a first come, first served basis at hunts across Virginia. Shotgun hunts will be held at Leesylvania State Park in Prince William County, Dec. 8-9, with the reservation period beginning Oct. 7. A shotgun hunt (slugs only) will be held Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 at Widewater State Park, currently under development in Stafford County. Ten stands will be available for

Barrett aims for ODAC title with Virginia Wesleyan David Driver »ForByInsidenova

It is not unusual for college football players to stay on campus and work out together to get ready for the upcoming season. That is also what many members of the volleyball team at Virginia Wesleyan did this past summer, and that included Stafford resident Tiffany Barrett. Barrett said the team was motivated after losing to Randolph-Macon of Ashland in the championship of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament last year. A member of that title team was outside hitter Rachel Jacobson, a Brooke Point High graduate who was a senior last year. “This year, since we were close to winning last year, that is our goal this time,” Barrett said. “We do also have a pretty good junior class. They are pretty good leaders.” North Stafford High graduate Barrett is also taking on an added role as a senior outside hitter and captain. She is one of just two seniors on the roster for veteran head coach Andrea Hoover. “We had open gyms once a week and then would get together for workouts,” Barrett said of this summer. “It was just a collaborative effort for those that lived in the area. We already knew what our goal was this year when the match ended last year” against Randolph-Macon. “She had a phenomenal year last year,” Hoover said. “She hit very well for us. We would love for her to have a similar year this year. She loves volleyball. She lights up when she is on the volleyball court.” Barrett said Randolph-Macon and Washington & Lee will be teams to beat in the ODAC this year. Virginia Wesleyan lost 3-1 at nationally-ranked Mary Washington on Sept. 7. The Marlins improved to 5-5 this season after winning Sept. 13 at North Carolina Wesleyan. Barrett had 110 kills in the first 10 matches this season. Barrett was named to the 2016 Sea Gull Classic All-Tournament team earlier this season. Last year she was an honorable mention All-American, an All-South ReCLASSIFIED

gion first team player and an all-state first team player. Barrett was also named to the 2015 all-ODAC first team, an honor she also got as a sophomore in 2014. Last year he had a season-best 22 kills against Randolph and had six assists against Meredith. She had a career-best six blocks against Eastern Mennonite in 2014. Last year she played in 35 matches and in all 119 sets. She led the team and was second in the ODAC with 481 kills and was second in digs with 407. Barrett was the ODAC player of the week twice as a junior. As a sophomore she had 372 kills and played in all 118 sets. She had at least 10 kills in the last four matches of the season. She played in 30 matches and 107 sets as a freshman and had 234 kills in that 2013 season. Barrett was the North Stafford MVP as a senior and a 2012 team captain. She was a two-time all-district player while at North Stafford. "I made Virginia Wesleyan my top choice mainly because of the volleyball team,” Barrett said on the school athletic website. “When I watched them play everyone seemed to get along well and everything meshed. Coach Hoover is a great coach and I wanted my experience as a student-athlete to include a strong sense of community and support. I also heard from several people that the academics were excellent and the professors are extremely caring.” She was also interested in Marymount in Arlington and McDaniel College and Stevenson in Maryland. Another Stafford product in the ODAC is Kiara Greene, a sophomore at Bridgewater College and a graduate of Colonial Forge High. Barrett played against Greene in high school. Redshirt junior Christine Johnson, another North Stafford High graduate, is on the volleyball team at Division II Shepherd in West Virginia. She had 28 kills in her first six matches this year.
