Express Lanes extension to open Oct. 31

AT THE STAFFORD FAIR

he $50-million extension of the Interstate 95 Express Lanes in Stafford County will open for traffic Tuesday, Oct. 31, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation. The new stretch will extend the toll lanes beyond Garrisonville Road to a new northbound entrance and a southbound exit ramp roughly a mile farther south. Construction on the extension began in July 2016 and was completed ahead of schedule, VDOT spokesperson Kelly Hannon said. It will open to afternoon traffic on Oct. 31 and to northbound traffic the following morning. As with the existing 29-mile Express Lanes — part of a public-private partnership between VDOT and Transurban — all drivers need an EZPass to pay for tolls on the Express Lanes, Hannon noted, and carpool riders need an E-ZPass Flex and three or more people in the vehicle to avoid toll charges. Around 146,000 vehicles a day travel I-95 near Garrisonville Road, according to VDOT. The extension will operate under the same rules and reversal schedule as the current 95 Express Lanes. When the extension opens, I-95 northbound traffic will be able to enter the Express Lanes earlier at a new left entrance before the Garrisonville

The annual Stafford County Agricultural Fair the past weekend offered even more rides and thrills than in previous years, and seemed to draw more vendors to the location beside Mountain View High School. Visitors got a chance to sample elephant ears and other fair food, along with testing their skills at scoring some prizes along the midway. Above, Sara Tartaglia and her 5-year-old daughter Amslia enjoy one of the traditional rides Friday evening. For more from the fair, turn to PAGE 8.

Teacher fired for leaking SOL test content Teaching license also suspended for the 25-year educator TRACY BELL

tbell@insidenova.com

he Stafford County School Board decided to dismiss a third-grade Conway Elementary School teacher from her position Tuesday after discovering that she administered a heads-up to fellow teachers about what would be on a Standards of Learning math test.

The school board also suspended her teaching license for a year. The teacher, Rebecca Whitford, has been an educator for 25 years, according to the school board. “The school board recognizes that Ms. Whitford has had a long career as a teacher and has received strong performance evaluations,” said school board Chairwoman Holly Hazard, Hartwood District. “These, however, do not excuse Ms. Whitford’s violation of Virginia law and SOL test security procedures, or mitigate the significant impact her actions had on her school, colleagues, students

and administrators.” Four of the school board members, Hazard; Jamie Decatur, GriffisWidewater District; Irene Egan, Aquia District; and Patricia Healy, Rock Hill District, voted in favor of the dismissal and suspension. The other three members abstained from the vote, with school board member Scott Hirons, Falmouth District, indicating he is a personal friend of Whitford and her husband.

Bruce Benson had recommended Whitford’s dismissal as well as revocation of her teaching license. According to discussion, Whitford sent a group text on May 5 to fellow teachers about what would generally be on the test. She attributed the information to “a little birdie.” The test was to be taken five days later. The text stated: “Comparing, adding and subtracting fractions, using fraction models, money word problems, count the money, subtract the price, how much change, elapsed time, probability word

On Sept. 21, Whitford requested through her attorney that her Sept. 27 hearing be open to the public. A closed session was also held before Tuesday’s meeting on the matter. The school board indicated that Whitford would not identify the “little birdie” who passed the SOL information to her, nor the person’s place of employment. Whitford did say that the person who gave her the information is not a teacher at Conway. It was not clear to the board whether

Road overpass. Southbound Express Lanes traffic heading to Fredericksburg will be able to continue past Garrisonville Road and merge about one mile south of the Garrisonville Road exit. All drivers need an E-ZPass to use the Express Lanes. Carpools need an E-ZPass Flex and three or more people in the vehicle to travel toll-free. Construction on the extension began in July 2016. The project’s design-build team is Branch Civil, Inc., and Whitman, Requardt & Associates. The project is a joint investment by the Virginia Department of Transportation and Transurban, which operates the existing 29-mile Express Lanes facility that opened in December 2014, and will be responsible for maintenance and operations of the two-mile extension.

Following an investigation within SCPS, the Virginia Department of Education determined that Whitford violated multiple items of the SOL’s test security agreement. Also at the school board meeting: • a speaker expressed concern about a written threat of violence discovered in a bathroom at Brooke Point High School and a photo of it later was posted on social media.

In an era of divisive politics and mud-slinging, Virginia’s gubernatorial campaign has been refreshing. Despite the occasional TV commercial to the contrary, the two candidates appear to genuinely like and respect each other. Their debates have generally been civilized discussions about important policy issues. If you looked up “Virginia gentleman” in the dictionary, there’s a good chance you’d see a photo of Ralph Northam or Ed Gillespie. Gillespie, the Republican, catapulted to statewide prominence three years ago when he nearly upset U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, but he has had a tough road this year. He barely held off a primary challenge from Corey Stewart and is fighting an uphill battle against a Democratic base motivated by opposition to President Trump. Northam, meanwhile, has mastered a folksy aw-shucks persona and makes it a point to learn the names and backgrounds of people he meets. And although he seems like a nice guy to have a drink with, that’s not a good basis for an electoral decision. Rather, one should look at the policies and proposals of the candidates. And in that regard, there’s a clear favorite. While Northam talks in vague generalities about what he’d do if elected governor, Gillespie is very specific. While Northam says he would “bring people to the table” to identify solutions to Virginia’s challenges, Gillespie literally placed a thick binder of proposals on the table — developed in part by key leaders he already brought together. And we agree with Gillespie on one key factor: Virginia used to be among the country’s leading states for economic growth, but has clearly fallen off in recent years. This is not necessarily the fault of the current administration – it’s due to outside issues such as sequestration – but pretending it doesn’t exist will not turn it around. Federal

spending is not likely to suddenly start growing again – or even become more predictable – and Virginia clearly needs to find other ways to boost its economy. As Gillespie said during his endorsement interview, we can either be the southern-most Northeastern state or the northern-most Southeastern state. No offense, but we’re not fans of Maryland, New Jersey, New York and their ilk. We don’t agree with every one of Gillespie’s very detailed proposals, which cover 20 different topics, but at least we know what he stands for and what he’ll try to accomplish. We like the idea of a small tax cut, as long as it doesn’t result in a reduction of important state services. We’re all about streamlining regulations and ensuring that every valuable transportation dollar is well-spent. And we applaud his break with right-wingers to push for long-overdue criminal justice reform. All that said, we’re not big fans of Gillespie’s campaign ads that try to link Northam’s “no” vote on a bill targeting socalled “sanctuary cities” as opening the door to MS-13 gangs. We agree that communities should work with the federal government to deport illegal immigrants who have committed crimes, but these ads are seen as an attempt to frighten conservatives slow to support Gillespie’s campaign by appealing to their basest instincts. We hope this kind of vitriol does not set a tone for a Gillespie administration. We’ll take the binder full of common-sense policies, not another trip through the right-wing quagmire that made Virginia synonymous with transvaginal ultrasounds and sent North Carolina spiraling through a mess of lost jobs and economic opportunity after passage of HB 2. With that caveat, and with the right focus, we believe Ed Gillespie is the right gubernatorial candidate to get Virginia growing again.

Virginia is running its colleges, universities into the ground College and universities haven’t changed all that much in the past 40 years since I was in school. I teach at Virginia CommonDAVID KERR wealth University and as I talk to my students, listen to their worries and complaints, they don’t seem all that different from what my classmates were talking about in 1977. They still talk about mid-terms, finals, papers, presentations, projects, nice professors, not so nice professors, who is dating whom and next week’s basketball game. Sure, technology has affected the medium of the conversation, but the topics remain delightfully the same. However, one thing is dramatically and overwhelmingly different. And that’s the cost of a state university education. It has gone up by triple digits in just 15 years. And to pay for it, a large percentage of the students, even those who already have full- or part-time jobs, have to take on a staggering amount of debt. All of this before most of them even start their postuniversity careers. Put simply, the system is broken, and at the heart of the problem is the state

legislature. The General Assembly decided years ago, actually when the GOP supermajority was ushered in with the election of 2001, to cut funding for our universities. And they weren’t messing around. However, not every state thinks that way. States from New York to Nebraska have increased direct support to their university systems. State universities are a point of pride, particularly so out west, and states believe in supporting them—even in some of the reddest of red states. Virginia, however, as measured on a per student basis, has progressively cut state support for universities. Mom, Dad and the students, with the support of a rather insidious system of student loans (bankers love them), have had to bear the difference. Also, costs have gone up. They have to. Buildings wear out and technology needs to be updated. All sorts of scientifically based curricula require new, expensive equipment. There are also various administrative requirements, mandated by the state and the federal government, that the schools have to pay for. At the same time, faculty and non-faculty employees need to be competitively paid. Consider the costs to the students: Between 2001 and 2015 tuition at Virginia EDUCATION

OPINION

Polytechnic Institute rose by 240 percent, at Virginia Commonwealth University by 248 percent and at George Mason University by 189 percent. Just last year the University of Virginia increased its tuition by 11 percent. Running a university, particularly aging ones, is getting more and more expensive. But, when you cut state support by 50 percent per student, the only place to go looking for the money is the students. Virginia talks a lot about its university system. Governors use them as a backdrop for speeches and announcements on a regular basis. Clearly, they are a jewel in the crown. The only problem is, in the legislature’s almost maniacal desire to avoid a tax increase, they’ve progressively used the tool of cutting state aid as a source of cash. In the long run, that’s bad economics. Thomas Jefferson, a former student at William and Mary and founder of the University of Virginia, would be highly disappointed. When it came to public universities in the commonwealth, he had something great in mind. But now, the very same body he once belonged to, the General Assembly, KERR has successfully sought to PAGE 5 cheapen it. SPORTS

But thanks to the amount of debt they have to carry—some leaving college owing $50,000 or more— they’re in a tough bind. If they went for a degree medicine, a graduate qualification in engineering or law, they usually leave university owing the equivalent of a mortgage on a house.

The event was to educate the guests about the life of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and clear up the prevalent misconceptions. Some of the topics discussed included, Prophet Muhammad’s (pbuh) compassion and kindness, excellent quality of tolerance, favors to women, mercy for animals, and humor and informality. The program concluded with silent prayer and a final note reminding everyone of the need to continue working to bring about positive changes in personal lives every day.

Car winner donates funds to school Stafford County parent April Burch won a three-year lease for a 2018 Nissan Rogue from Pohanka Nissan on Oct. 14. Instead of taking the car, Burch and her family asked Tim Pohanka, of Pohanka Nissan, to make a donation to the autism and developmental delay program at Conway Elementary School in Stafford County. Pohanka presented a check for $5,000 to the school Oct. 20. Burch was the grand-prize winner in a

month-long contest through B101.5 Radio that featured a reverse drawing that eliminated contestants before determining the winner. “After many months of intense fundraising, this will help with the extra supplies and extracurricular programs that the school is in need of,” said Burch. Burch called Conway “an amazing school” and said that “many, many children will benefit from Tim Pohanka’s kindness.”

The caller said that a 21-year-old woman identified as Kayla Bailey was unconscious and turning purple, but still breathing. When deputies arrived on scene, members of the Aquia Harbour Police Department and Stafford County Fire & Rescue were providing emergency aid to Bailey. She was revived using Narcan and transported to Stafford Hospital for treatment, according sheriff ’s office spokeswoman Amanda Vicinanzo. Two others, Jessica Corley, 24, and Brandon Ostrem, 38, were detained at the scene.

Detectives searched the residence and found evidence of drug use, including six grams of methamphetamine, 20 methylenedioxymethamphetamine pills and heroin residue. During the investigation, they learned that a third person had left with a small safe prior to the deputies’ arrival, Vicinanzo said. On the following day, detectives found the person who left the residence and recovered more than 10 grams of heroin. They also discovered that an individual in Spotsylvania County had overdosed on that same batch of heroin earlier in the day. Corley was charged with two counts of possession of controlled substances. She was incarcerated at Rappahannock Regional Jail and later released. Ostrem was charged with three counts of intent to distribute controlled substances and incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail.

Stafford fair offers food, attractions The annual Stafford County Agricultural and Homemaking Fair returned to its apparent home turf with a new company that filled the amusement area with multiple rides over the weekend. From Jakon Daigle, 2, having fun getting the prize-winning rubber duckie to Orion Sandlin, 5, adding his own muscle to keep his ride spinning, it was children who seemed to have the most fun. Fair food, though maybe not too healthy, was a favorite along the midway. The fair also crowned a Miss Teen Stafford and Miss Stafford, Kristen Halter. Many took to the outdoor sports, including a monster truck thrill. For others, there were rabbits and a peacock, along with a tom turkey. City kids even got a chance to ride on a horse. Vendors offered the latest models of farm and earth-moving equipment, and political candidates were on hand to offer a brighter future if elected. ALEKS DOLZENKO | INSIDENOVA

LaRowe embraces education, field hockey at UMW » BY DAVID DRIVER For InsideNova

Some high school graduates explore the idea of getting away from home for college, and many of them do so. That was not the case for Morgan LaRowe, a field hockey standout at Mountain View High School. She is now a senior forward for the field hockey team at the University of Mary Washington, which was slated to play Oct. 26 at Wesley in Delaware in the regular-season finale. “My thing was my parents always told me college first and then sports. When I walked on campus this is where I wanted to go. This is home. It is a perfect fit for me,” LaRowe said. “Then I got in touch with the coach.” LaRowe continued a family tradition by attending Mary Washington. She has a few second cousins who attended the school and one of her mother’s cousins, Eugene Cooper, is currently on the school faculty. On the field LaRowe has taken on more leadership this season as a senior for head coach Lindsey Barbacow, a former All-American at Division III Salisbury. “It is definitely a different role,” LaRowe said. “Going through the program all four years as a senior you feel that everyone looks to you. There are only four seniors this year, and we all take different roles. I mesh well with the younger girls. Off the field, I am into academics. I will get on people during study hall.” She was among the team leaders with six goals in the first 15 games for the Eagles, LAROWE PAGE 13 who were 9-6 overall

Emily Abramaitys is back at the net following surgery in December after constant wear and tear from volleyball contributed to her discomfort.

Mountain View surging down the stretch DAVID FAWCETT » BY dfawcett@insidenova.com

Mountain View faces a tall order Oct. 27 when it hosts unbeaten Colonial Forge. But head coach Lou Sorrentino isn’t worried. “The way we see it, we’re the underdogs,” Sorrentino said. “We don’t need to be afraid of making a mistake. The pressure isn’t on us. We’re not expected to win. We relish the underdog role.” After starting 0-2, Mountain View (4-4) is making a late-season surge. The Wildcats have won two of their last three games, including a 15-7 win over 6-2 Brooke Point and then a 24-21 win last Friday over Riverbend on Peter Fulton’s 33-yard field goal with 4.5 seconds left. Mountain View also nearly defeated 7-2 Stafford Sept. 22 before losing 21-17. Mountain View is currently ranked sixth in Class 5, Region D, with the top eight teams advancing to the postseason. “We’ve put ourselves in position,” Sorrentino said. Mountain View entered the season knowing it would have to rely on its defense, which returned seven starters. The offense, which returned two senior start-

The return of junior quarterback Tyler Haskins has helped Mountain View’s offense. Haskins missed the start of the season with a groin injury, and his first full game back as a starter was against Brooke Point. Haskins is in his first year as a starter and he rushed for over 100 yards in the win over Riverbend. Fulton boosts the kicking game. A three-year starter, Fulton was a secondteam all-conference pick last season as a punter. “One thing about our kids, they always play hard,” Sorrentino said. SPORTS SPORTS

and 2-2 in the Capital Athletic Conference. LaRowe had two goals on three shots on goal in a 12-1 win over Frostburg State of Maryland on Oct. 19 in Fredericksburg. One of the best wins of the season came against national power Franklin & Marshall of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, 3-2, on Sept. 9. “Those are hard games for us. Franklin & Marshall, they were in the top 10 (nationally). That was a really good win,” LaRowe said. The current Eagles roster lists six juniors. “We have a bigger junior class,” LaRowe said. “We have a good mix of older girls and younger girls. We are really meshing right now. The chemistry is really good. We have some really good freshmen who are going to help the program and help the team in the future.” She played in 17 games, with four starts, last year as a junior and had 10 goals and two assists for 22 points. She scored twice in the CAC semifinals against Christopher Newport and had two goals in a win over Eastern Mennonite.

LaRowe played in 12 games as a sophomore and was named to the 2015 Zag Field Hockey/NFHCA Division III National Academic Squad. She also had four goals and one assist that year. As a freshman, she played in eight games with three goals and two assists. She scored two goals and had an assist against Ferrum and also scored against Wesley and Randolph-Macon. LaRowe was a JV MVP as a sophomore at Mountain View and was part of a state title team while in high school. He is studying secondary education and is on track to graduate next year. She played soccer until middle school and is the daughter of Donald and Valerie LaRowe, a former athlete at Stafford High. LaRowe’s older brother, Cody, played club baseball at the University of Virginia and her younger sister, Madison, plays sports at Mountain View. The CAC playoffs for field hockey begin Oct. 29, with the title game set for Nov. 4. David Driver can be reached at StaffordNews@insidenova.com.
