2nd District delegate race draws three candidates
budget has salary raise
S
ince Virginia lawmakers redrew the state’s electoral map in 2011, the House of Delegates’ 2nd District has come to stand as a prime example of a “swing seat” in the General Assembly. Republican Mark Dudenhefer first won the chance to represent parts of Prince William and Stafford counties six years ago, only to find himself out of office by a 5149 margin by Democrat Michael Futrell in 2013. Then, in 2015, Dudenhefer won back his seat by an even narrower 50-49 split over Democrat Joshua King. Now, with Dudenhefer bowing out of the 2017 race to try and reclaim his seat on Stafford’s Board of County Supervisors, Democrats and Republicans alike are lining up for the chance to replace him. King and fellow Democrat Jennifer Foy will face off in a June 13 primary, while Laquan Austion is the lone Republican running. King, an Army veteran and deputy with the Fairfax County Sheriff ’s Office, marvels at just how quickly the field came together in a district where challengers were once hard to find — Futrell’s run in the 29th District Senate primary left Democrats without a candidate back in 2015, until King joined the fray at the last minute. “We need more people to run, because no one wanted to in 2015,” King said. “Now, people are out there running for dog catcher. But I’ve been here the whole time.” Indeed, King says he decided to mount another bid for the seat as soon as he lost the last time around. Not only did he only lose by just 125 votes, but he felt sure that Dudenhefer and his fellow Republicans wouldn’t “address the area’s problems, because they haven’t for years.” “Dudenhefer left because he

knew I was coming back,” King said. “I’ve been working hard for the last two and half years or more. I’m not doing this for me. I don’t know the motivations of the Republican who jumped in, or my primary opponent who decided that this was her time, but I’ve been running the whole time.” Foy, a public defender in Arlington and the founder of a Woodbridge nonprofit to help foster parents and children, says her motivation was simple — she didn’t see delegates in Richmond solving the right problems, so she decided to take a crack at changing that. Her entrance into the race sets up the fourth Democratic House primary in the Prince William area alone, and the contest is one of 25 in the state overall. “A lot of our representatives aren’t prioritizing things that are important to people in Prince William and Stafford, particularly the emphasis on improving transportation,” Foy said. In a district dominated by commuters to Washington, D.C., it’s no surprise that the question of how to relieve traffic gridlock is popular among the candidates. Both Democrats support more funding for bus and rail service along the I-95 corridor, and Foy even wants to see Metrorail service extended into the Woodbridge
he Stafford County School Board asked for an appropriation of $278.9 million for the school system’s fiscal 2018 operating budget from the Stafford County Board of Supervisors by a 6-1 vote on Tuesday. Highlights include an added 69.5 full-time employees; a $250,000 teacher scale enhancement and $1.1 million to maintain a teacher scale adjustment from 2017; service scale enhancements that include $500,000 for paraprofessionals, $250,000 for bus drivers and $50,000 for bus monitors; funding for a Teacher and Learning Summit and six buses for cyclic replacement; an established pay-banding merit pool and fully funded nurses added to the pay band. At a work session May 4 the school board also added 1.5 full-time employee positions for diagnosticians. Teachers making less money get a small bump to their salaries, but it amounts to less than 1 percent, according to a SCPS pay-scale comparison from fiscal 2017 to fiscal 2018. The “approximate 1 percent” cost of living allowance, or COLA, is allocated to employees not subject to the additional teacher pay scale adjustment for fiscal 2017. There was also no increase in health care premiums BOARD for employees. PAGE 2 Prior to the vote,

area. But they differ sharply over the decision to extend the highoccupancy toll lanes on I-95 into Stafford — King believes they’re “too expensive,” while Foy doesn’t think they reach far enough into the county. “Going two miles into Stafford is good, but it should be more like 10 miles into Stafford,” Foy said. “Because it’s still causing bottleneck issues that have a ripple effect on 95.” Austion, the east coast manager for community affairs for the ridesharing company Lyft, says he’d be focused on “small wins” for commuters rather than ambitious projects, at least in the short term. He’d like to set up a more “transparent” system to make it clear how much a trip on the HOT lanes might cost, or even design some sort of online portal to let commuters compare the costs of their various transportation options. “There have to be more innovative solutions on how to address these problems,” Austion said. “But we also have to think about how we incentivize businesses to come to the district and stay here. We have a brain drain with people living here and working elsewhere, and it contributes to traffic.” The Republican thinks he can accomplish that feat PARTY by removing taxes PAGE 7 that are “suffocating

several employees and teacher supporters spoke to the school board about the need for teachers to feel appreciated and be fairly compensated. Early in the meeting, a speaker addressed the school board on what he termed minimal compensation in the request and explained the need to be able to support his family. The school board also noted that those on the scale not receiving increased compensation will see it in their Virginia Retirement System money. Several school board members provided examples of teachers they know whom they’ve admired or who went above and beyond. They stressed that the schools system and the school board do value its educators. They went on to say, during individual board member comments, that despite appreciating its educators, the school system will not get to where it wants to be overnight. They noted the many priorities other than compensation that need funding. School board Chairwoman Holly Hazard, Hartwood District, said that planning is key and something the board is now doing, but results won’t come to fruition as quickly as people may desire. It won’t arrive “like a rocket,” she said. Hazard called the budget plan “a growth budget” and noted that with 700 or more new students coming: “We need to pay for growth.” The school system’s educators are indeed appreciated, she said, and the board discussed the need to compensate various employee groups over time. “When you run for the school board you have to love the school district,” Hazard assured the public. School board member Patricia Healy, Rock Hill District, echoed the comments, but noted “all kinds of cutbacks” and said that the board could make no particular future promises. She suggested a further look at where the financial situation lies at mid-year to reconsider compensation options. “We can’t promise anything,” Healy said. “That’s not practical or possible in the world that we live in. …We can promise to try.” Healy alluded to changes the schools system has made and a new approach from Stafford County Public Schools’ Superintendent Bruce Benson. Positive changes being made still take time, she said. “It’s always hard at budget season but this has been particularly challenging because of the new approach we’re taking,” Healy said. “…There’s no fat in this budget that I see.” School board member Christopher Connelly, Garrisonville District, said that the budget process has been a learning experience for him. “…Priorities span across a large area and education as a whole takes a lot of moving parts,” he said. “As a

dad with four kids in the system, I can tell you that the teachers are valued. …” A new financial management system, MUNIS, also allows for a zerobased approach to the budget process, according to staff. School board member Jamie Decatur, a relative newcomer on the board, said that she supported the budget because “it does some really good things” but admitted she was “pretty distraught.” Decatur, who represents the Griffis-Widewater District, said she doesn’t want to decide over one employee group or another for budget needs. “If you would’ve told me when I ran [for office] some of the things I would have to do, I may not have run,” she said. Certain employee groups--bus drivers, bus monitors, nurses and paraprofessionals--are below the market minimum in compensation, the board agreed, noting a plan to address the inequity. SCPS has the lowest salaries for paraprofessionals in comparison to other divisions for those employee groups. The budget that the board of supervisors considered in April included an increase of $3.16 million, which is 2.8 percent over the fiscal 2017 adopted budget. The school board still faced a gap of $5.56 million between its requested budget and revenues provided by the funding body, SCPS said. Hazard said the budget addresses most of the board’s priorities. “I am pleased that this budget implements a market-based compensation approach for bus drivers, bus monitors, paraprofessionals and nurses, and continues to make our teacher and professional scales more competitive. State mandates and loss of revenues severely impacted the school board’s ability to meet all of our goals for fiscal year 18,” she said. Benson added: “The newly approved school board budget moves this division forward in a sustainable manner, improving multiple pay scales that have been out of market.” Also at the meeting, a young biracial, Jewish student at SCPS told the school board that she has endured bullying by students for not looking like them. She mentioned at least one teacher who “did not correct them” or work to support her. She told the school board that diversity training is badly needed in the schools and that more teachers of diverse ethnicities and backgrounds should be hired. The suggestion was later supported by another speaker, who said that she is the mother of biracial children.

Mountain View teachers recognized for all they do » BY TRACY BELL
tbell@insidenova.com
Educators at Stafford County Public Schools were recognized over the last several days during Teacher Appreciation Week. At Mountain View High School, special education teacher George Coghill and a group of first-year instructors were among teachers honored county-wide. In a previous life, Coghill played in the NFL for the Denver Broncos from 1998 to 2001 and prior to that, for the New Orleans Saints. He’s been teaching for the past five years. The Fredericksburg native said that when he played football, on his off days he would visit schools and help students. That made him realize he wanted to work with children, so he did just that. “I liked that I could take the team concept from football and apply it to the classroom,” said Coghill, who also mentors athletes as an assistant coach for the MVHS varsity football team. Coghill added that he enjoys watching students mature over the years from ninth grade through graduation and seeing how much they’ve grown. He takes joy in watching them walk across the stage at graduation and being a part of one of their great achievements. “The students that I have had through the years have taught me how to overcome adversity, how to deal with things that are going on in life and how to not let any downfalls you may have get in your

way from succeeding,” Coghill said. Teacher Appreciation Week serves to pay tribute to teachers like Coghill who make a difference each day in students’ lives. Some schools individually encourage students to take part in a variety of suggested appreciation gestures while others hold appreciation events. On Tuesday, the Stafford County School Board proclaimed Teacher Appreciation Week May 8-13 in Stafford County Public Schools, in accordance with Virginia Gov. Terry McAuiliffe’s designation of the week. Also at Mountain View, several firstyear teachers are making their mark and doing great work, according to the school’s principal, James Stemple.
LAUREN TERRILL One in the group, Lauren Terrill, teaches Spanish and is a MVHS graduate. Terrill said that since elementary school, she’s wanted to teach. “My passion for teaching sprang from LAUREN my desire to want to TERRILL make a difference in the world, and what better way to do that than to cultivate the minds of our future generation,” she said. “I believe that my profession as a teacher can shape and change our society for the better, not only through the material we teach, but through the relationships we build with our students. My hope is that I make an impact and inspire my students to be leaders, innovators, dreamers and thinkers.” Terrill said that with teaching, no two days are alike, which she enjoys about her job. There are always new challenges that help her become better at her job. The first year of teaching has taught her that even the best plans do not always turn out, and that is OK, she said. “It is my hope and challenge as a teacher to never stop self-reflecting, learning and developing my teaching methods because that is what will continue to make me a better educator,” Terrill said.
Other first-year teachers at MVHS include Alex Goldbach, a math teacher who came to Stafford schools through one of the school system’s recruitment trips; teacher Brian Eanes, whose mother and father were teachers in Fairfax County; and Margaret Crowe, who teaches special education and switched careers from being in the military.
HAILEY DAVEY Another first-year math teacher at MVHS, Hailey Davey, said that she once attended an outdoor education lab school that really made her fall in love with teaching and helping kids. “I have always been good at math so I thought I could make that my medium to teach kids how to not only think outside the box and solve problems, but to be a good person and know their self-worth,” she said. Davey, who hails from Colorado, said she hopes to never stop growing and to keep finding ways to be a better teacher, with this year being only the beginning. She admitted that there are challenges to teaching, but beyond the lesson planning grading, and long hours, there is building the right, professional relationships and handling all of the different situations that are thrown at you correctly, she said. “It is a never-ending battle but with so much opportunity in being able to change a child's life, it is the best job in the world,” Davey said.

28th District debate reveals character, concerns Ego and humility were in high focus at Monday night’s debate for the 28th House of Delegates seat to replace the retiring William J. Howell. DANIEL CORTEZ Howell was not present, but his earlier announced endorsement of George Washington District Supervisor Bob Thomas perhaps was the silent elephant in the room at the Falmouth Volunteer fire house, where about 100 residents observed. More silent was the fact no one spoke about Stafford County board Chairman Supervisor Paul Milde paying a $1,100 fine that day for negligence in not reporting required legal campaign information to the Stafford County registrar, Greg Riddlemoser. Or was it ego that prevented Milde to responding to my questions concerning the issue? By law Riddlemoser could have referred the issue to the commonwealth attorney if Milde, after repeated certified letters pointing out the discrepancies and the fine, were not addressed. Posing firm but polite questions to him prior to and after the debate, Milde flatly refused to discuss the subject, inferring unfair persecution by this writer. Former Supervisor Susan Stimpson, when asked after the event, said she was not aware of the issue and praised Milde as a businessman, but was not shocked hearing the revelation.
During the debate itself each candidate seized the opportunity to accentuate on their perceived positives with few direct negative attacks. Stimpson must be given credit for acknowledging her past legal troubles which she indirectly mentioned. Her claim of being the one in the race as a former supervisor who never voted for raising taxes is mostly factual. But it’s humorous how no candidate directly took credit for rising user fees saddled on taxpayers over the years. Stimpson should be given credit for being part of the team that cut real estate taxes for three years and had two upgrades in the local bond rating…. again part of the “team” that did this. Milde repeatedly boasted his land-use preservation action by taking credit for preventing overdevelopment and sprawl. His claim relating to the preservation of the Crow’s Nest peninsula is noteworthy, but must be shared with every member of the board of supervisors. His bragging statement “Stafford is a better place to live because of my service on the board,” perhaps needed more humility. Nevertheless, his support of constitutional carry with respect to the Second Amendment was notable. When questioned on a key characteristic that qualified him to be a delegate and his integrity, Milde like the others suggested placing the needs of the community first and his service was an example. Another example would have been if Milde had the moral courage to admit to
his shortcomings with respect to being fined without fear of persecution. While no one is perfect in any manner, the public should be wary of candidates who with a wink and nod give a presentation of elitism. And that is found in abundance on both sides of the aisle. Thomas during the debate was a study in humility. The former Marine proudly discussed his honorable military service and how during 9/11 was armed and prepared to defend a strategic location at Quantico Marine Corps base. He also freely discussed how an injury forced him to be medically retired, with fate involving him in the political. Responding to a challenge question on actions of the state, Thomas wasted no time in acknowledging more needed transparency and needed focus on small businesses like his own. He should be lauded for his efforts to get Speaker Howell to vote against the burdensome proffer bill that has severely affected smaller localities such as Stafford. And he calmly stated that the General Assembly would profit from his business acumen. Thomas repeatedly focused on his congenial interface with the common man and woman, and his ability to negotiate through the myriad of regulatory business restrictions in Richmond. Daniel P.

Why are Congressmen afraid to face their constituents? The town hall and the public meeting are American traditions. We expect to have easy public access to our elected officials. Whether DAVID KERR they’re school board members or congressmen. However, there is a growing tendency to abandon this tradition, particularly on the part of members of Congress. More and more they’re shying away from the more open forms of contact with their constituents. Many find these open sessions difficult and don’t care for the hostile questions from the people who may oppose them politically. It’s too uncomfortable. To which, some might say, to borrow a phrase from President Harry Truman, “…if you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen. But the thing is, they’re supposed to be accountable to all of their constituents, and that includes people who don’t agree with them. Years ago, there was a conservative Republican congressman from Northern Virginia, Joel T. Broyhill, who maintained an aggressive schedule of town halls. He considered this demanding approach invaluable to the way he represented the district. He served for 22 years.

Some members are afraid of potentially hostile audiences. They don’t want to be asked embarrassing questions, and they don’t want to be embarrassed. But this is public service, and standing up and listening to people who don’t agree with you — who aren’t your friends and don’t ask you nice questions— is part of the job. Besides, if you’re in public office you should be able to handle a difficult question or two. If you know a question’s a setup, say so— but be willing to answer it. You might be surprised how much respect even your opponents will give you if you listen to them and at least try to answer their questions. Recently, several members of the Stafford County Board of Supervisors and the school board have had joint public meetings to discuss redistricting. Not everyone who showed up was there to sing their praises. But that didn’t deter these local elected officials from hosting the meetings. It was a wonderful example of democracy at work. Regrettably, our own congressman, Rob Wittman (R-Va.), has shied away from town halls or unstructured gatherings. He’s had telephone conference calls. That’s good, I guess, but he hasn’t been one to cheerfully stand up, microphone in hand, and take questions from a crowd at some high school auditorium. EDUCATION

That’s too bad. During the height of the Affordable Care Act debate there was even a protest in front of his Stafford office demanding a public meeting. But that didn’t happen. One reason, and this holds true for many members of Congress, is that they don’t want hostile questions and their replies on social media. And, yes, everyone makes mistakes, and yes, a fumbled answer or reply, can go viral. But is that really a reason not engage your constituents? Wittman, for example, is an experienced public official. Surely, of all people, he can handle a crowd, even if it’s fired up and not ready to ask him easy questions Being in public office isn’t easy and people need to have access to their representatives. Not some automated call-in mechanism, but real person-to-person contact. That’s what our Founding Fathers had in mind. So, come on guys, book an auditorium, advertise it in the paper, and you might be surprised, if you just let people talk, how easily it goes.

Former Stafford contractor charged with bribery, fraud A former contractor at the Military Sealift Command was indicted for his role in a bribery and fraud conspiracy from approximately 1999 to 2014, in which he allegedly received almost $3 million dollars in bribes. Acting Assistant Attorney General Kenneth A. Blanco of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente of the Eastern District of Virginia made the announcement May 4, according to an FBI news release. Scott B. Miserendino Sr., 58, formerly of Stafford County, was charged in a fivecount indictment with one count of conspiracy to commit bribery and honest ser-
vices mail fraud, one count of bribery and three counts of honest services mail fraud. Miserendino’s arraignment will be scheduled at a later date. According to allegations in the indictment, Miserendino was a government contractor at MSC, an entity of the U.S. Department of the Navy that provided support and specialized services to the Navy and other U.S. military forces. The indictment alleges that Miserendino and Joseph P.

innovation” in the area, like the frequently derided business, professional and occupational license tax levied by localities. Unsurprisingly, he sharply differs from the Democrats in this regard — King, in particular, would rather see the state’s minimum wage raised to $15 per hour so working people don’t need to drive out of the area to find a job that pays a living wage. “People are literally working themselves to death,” King said. “I care about this because this is my story. I made it out OK, but a lot of people can’t say the same thing.” But both King and Foy stress that they want to push for criminal justice reform in Richmond, since that issue is so closely connected to economic opportunity for communities of color in the district. Foy largely represents indigent defendants for her day job, so she’s a big supporter of reducing the state’s felony larceny threshold and decriminalizing marijuana, in particular. “Every day I see people going through the criminal justice system for things that we still constitute as felonies that other states treat as misdemeanors,” Foy said. “But classifying someone as a felon can have lifelong repercussions. We need to be revisiting these statutes to make sure not they’re not draconian.” Though the two Democrats largely align on these sorts of issues, they’ll need to outline some differences if they want to stand out to voters on June 13. Beyond King’s close call against Dudenhefer and experience in the district, he’s also hoping his familiarity with veteran’s issues will set him apart for some. He served two tours in Iraq, and currently works on Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s Virginia War Memorial Board, and wants to use that experience to guide efforts to place more veterans in jobs around the state. But Foy has some military connections of her own — she was part of the third class of female cadets to ever graduate from the Virginia Military Institute, and she thinks that will equip her well to work on both veterans issues and handle the contentious partisan environment in Richmond. “If nothing else, it taught me how to fight, and plenty of perseverance,” CLASSIFIED

Foy said. One of the issues she’s eager to fight about is access to abortion and contraception for women, a daunting challenge in the Republican-dominated House, but one she feels especially qualified to take on. So far, King boasts a hefty lead in fundraising, which could provide him an early advantage — he pulled in about $51,000 through March 31, compared to Foy’s $24,000, according to state records. He’s also secured endorsements from prominent local Democrats like Congressman Gerry Connolly, D-11th District, Sen. George Barker of the 39th District, Del. Luke Torian of the 52nd District and Prince William County Supervisor Frank Principi. But Foy has some support of her own from groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, a national group that plans to directly coordinate with local candidates. “The numbers are there, the support is there,” King said. “Everything is there that we need.” Whichever Democrat manages to take the primary contest should have a decent shot in the district — even beyond the close races of the past, Second District voters just chose Hillary Clinton over President Donald Trump by a 56-39 margin last fall. But Austion has so far nearly matched King’s fundraising prowess, with nearly $45,000 in contributions through the end of March. He believes his focus on returning local control to school boards and cutting taxes will ultimately win the day, regardless of the district’s recent Democratic tilt. “People have talked about the toughness of this district, but it boils down to how hard you’re willing to work,” Austion said. “And I will be the hardest working candidate in this race.” No matter who voters tab for the seat, the district will have its first AfricanAmerican representative in recent memory. The race is just one of six races in the state’s 100 districts to feature a field completely comprised of candidates of color, a clear representation of the district’s diversifying demographics. “It’s always great to have diverse people at the table when you talk, and to have a representative who is diverse to represent those values,” King said.

North Stafford High graduate part of historic program with Hampton » BY DAVID DRIVER
For InsideNoVa
Jacob Woodard arrived last summer at Hampton University as a freshman player with experience as a defensive midfielder at the club level in lacrosse while in high school. But Lloyd Carter, the head men’s lacrosse coach at Hampton, had other ideas for the North Stafford High School graduate. “I didn’t know him at all. He just caught my eye,” said Carter, who began the program at Hampton with the 2016 season. “He has real good stick work when I heard he was coming to be a defensive midfielder. That is what my assistant coach told me. We were tracking him to be a defensive midfielder.” But Carter was convinced to move Woodard. “He is going to play offense for us,” Carter told himself. “As the [2017] season went on we are building the program and trying to plug guys in. I knew that we wanted him on the field as much as possible. We had him on our second midfield line.” “The reason I put him there was because I wanted the second line to be as good as the first line. I was finding ways to get him on the field. He was

To make this dream possible for children of America’s military personnel living with a life-limiting disability or illness, Azalea Charities has supported the annual Cinderella Ball for the past seven years. The 2017 Cinderella Ball takes place on June 4 at the historic Willard Intercontinental Hotel in Washington, D.C. The Woodbridge-based House Student Leadership Center sponsors this annual event. Months before, students choose their formal attire from donations to “A Cinderella Closet”. Volunteers do alterations and help girls pick out jewelry, shoes and evening bags, and boys choose just the right tie and handkerchief. The pre-Ball excitement goes on for months and the memories last a lifetime.

dynamic. His [lacrosse] IQ is one of the best on the team. We put him on attack, he really flourished,” added Carter, who grew up in lacrosse-crazy Maryland and graduated from Morgan State in Baltimore and Maryland, Baltimore County. Woodard played in seven of eight games, with three starts, and had four goals and five assists. He had two goals on April 15 as Hampton finished this season with a 17-3 loss to New Jersey Institute of Technology. The Hampton Pirates were 1-7 this season as the only Division I men’s lacrosse program at a historically black college and university (HBCU). “Overall it is a great experience to be part of history,” Woodard said. “To be honest, it is great, just an opportunity to play lacrosse. It lets other kids know it doesn’t matter where you come from.” Woodard felt he could compete at a higher level. “It was a complete shock to me,” he said of being moved to offensive midfield, where he played for North Stafford. “I came in with the mindset [that] I am ready to play Division I. I realized I can compete at this level. I [realized] I am better than some of these kids.” Woodard played baseball as a young boy but learned about lacrosse through his older brother. “I was the baseball kid in the family,” he said. “I picked up my first lacrosse stick. I feel in love and have not looked back.” Woodard had played football and wrestled in his youth but stopped wrestling in middle school. He played football and lacrosse at North Stafford. Woodard was all-area all four years in lacrosse at North Stafford and was part of conference titles in 2013 and 2014. He picked Hampton over other schools such as Fairfield in Connecticut and VMI in Lexington. His older brother, Chris, played lacrosse as a junior defender this season at 0-14 Shorter College in Rome, Georgia, while their younger brother, Nick, plays at North Stafford High. Woodard’s mother played volleyball in high school, while his father played football at T.C. Williams in Alexandria. Another North Stafford graduate who played college lacrosse this spring was Kaleb Hunter, a freshman for Mary Washington. The Eagles were 9-8 overall and 5-3 in conference play this season. They had 182 goals and ended the season with a 22-9 loss to Salisbury in the conference tournament. The Mary Washington women’s lacrosse team was 14-5 overall and lost 11-5 to powerhouse Salisbury on April 22 in the CAC tourney title match. Mackenzie Maguire led the MW women with 41 goals.

North Stafford draws college football coaches from all over the country DAVID FAWCETT » BY Dfawcett@insidenova.com
When the Virginia High School League implemented its out-of-season practice rule six years ago for prep football teams, the move allowed programs to get some extra time in before the actual start of preseason during the summer. But that wasn’t the only benefit. The practice schedule coincides with the six-week time frame when college football coaches can visit high schools to evaluate recruits and turn some high schools like North Stafford into a must-see destination. The Wolverines features two top highly-rated prospects in sophomore running back Devyn Ford and junior offensive lineman Nana Asiedu, both of whom have received more than 30-plus offers. Ford is uncommitted, while Asiedu is committed to Penn State. The Wolverines also feature three other players, freshman running back/quarterback Javon Swinton (Virginia and Marshall), junior wide receiver/defensive back Zion Thompson (Army) and junior lineman Ryan Childress (Shepherd, West Virginia Wesleyan) who have received offers. The opportunity gives the players a chance to showcase their talents beyond attending camps. And it gives college coaches a chance to look at prospective recruits and talk up their program.
North Stafford junior lineman Nana Asiedu is a main reason college coaches from all over are coming to watch the Wolverines during afternoon practices. DAVID FAWCETT | INSIDENOVA
“It makes things easier,” North Stafford head football coach Joe Mangano said. The Wolverines have seen a host of schools from all over the country. On May 1, the University of Southern California became the first West Coast program to show up when running backs coach Deland McCullough watched and filmed the afternoon practice. USC has offered Ford and Asiedu. On May 5, Arizona became the second West Coast program and was among six schools that came through that day, join-
ing Duke, North Carolina, Coastal Carolina, Howard and Temple. The total was typical for what North Stafford has seen on a daily basis this spring. Colleges are allowed two on-campus visits during the spring evaluation period. In some cases, colleges nearby will use one of their two trips by coming to North Stafford during the school day and then sticking around for practice. Others do one or the other. North Stafford practices four days a week (Monday through Thursday) and
will finish June 10. Although Asiedu is already committed, colleges still are following him. Michigan, for example, came by Tuesday for that reason with offensive line coach Greg Frey and passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton. Hamilton spent the last four years in the NFL, including last season as the Cleveland Browns’ associate head coach, before joining the Wolverines’ staff in January. “The past two years, we’ve definitely seen bigger Division I programs,” Mangano said.

Tips to Make Lasting Healthful Changes to Your Eating Habits o you find it difficult to maintain healthy eating habits? Remember that small changes, made over time, can add up. Whether you’re planning meals to prepare at home or making selections when dining out, it’s crucial to find a healthy eating style that you can maintain. “To make lasting, healthful changes to your eating habits, it’s important to start small,” says registered dietitian nutritionist and Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokesperson Caroline Passerrello. “Registered dietitian nutritionists can help you develop personalized solutions that will keep you healthy and allow you to still enjoy your favorite foods throughout your entire life.” Passerrello offers these simple ways you can improve your dietary habits.
D
• Choose Healthier Options When Cooking at Home. “Eating a variety of healthful foods across and within all food groups helps reduce the risk of preventable, lifestyle-related chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity,” says Passerrello. “Eat more
vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fatfree or low-fat dairy, lean proteins and oils.&rdquo • Find Healthful Options When Dining Out. “Finding healthful options at restaurants is easier today than it ever has been,” says Passerrello. “Most restaurants offer healthful options. Look for items that are steamed or roasted, and ask for sauce, dressing and cheese on the side. To-go boxes can help control portions. Eat half your meal at the restaurant and take the other half home.” • Set a Good Example for Your Children. Parents are the most important role models for their children. “Modeling healthful eating habits starts in the kitchen,” Passerrello says. “Involving your kids in the cooking with age-appropriate tasks, serving balanced meals with a variety of nutrient-rich foods and enjoying dinner together as often as possible are among the many things you can do to help your family be mindful of their eating habits.” • Consult a Registered Dietitian
Nutritionist. “A healthy lifestyle is much more than choosing to eat more fruits and vegetables. While that is important, it’s also essential to make informed food choices based on your individual health and nutrient needs,” Passerrello says. “A registered dietitian nutritionist can educate you and guide your food choices while keeping your tastes and preferences in mind. They are able to separate facts from fads and translate nutrition science into infor-
mation you can use.” To find a registered dietitian nutritionist in your area, visit eatright.org. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ website also includes articles, recipes, videos and educational resources to spread the message of good nutrition and an overall healthy lifestyle for people of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Being mindful of your eating habits can improve your family’s overall health and wellness. (StatePoint)
