he Stafford County School Board agreed Tuesday to a $588,000 fouryear contract with Ricoh USA of Chicago for copier services beginning in fiscal 2017. The initial proposed contract was for $650,000. A competing Xerox representative attended four school board meetings this spring urging the board to consider using Xerox, which produced the lowest bid. Stafford County Public Schools used Ricoh for the past 10 years and has used Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne, without the scissors, orchestrates the ribbon cutting to open the extension of the I-95 Express Lanes on Oct. 30.

Trio charged with using fake credit cards The Stafford County Sheriff ’s Office arrested three suspects Saturday morning for the use of fake credit cards at a convenience store in North Stafford, according to Amanda Vicinanzo, spokeswoman for the sheriff ’s office. A Stafford deputy responded to a call at Kangaroo Express near Garrisonville Road on Oct. 28 at just after 6 a.m. The caller reported that a man attempted to make a $68 purchase using a fake credit card and driver’s license. The man left the store after the caller confronted him about the fake cards. The deputy ran the license number and discovered it be-
longed to a dead person. Another deputy located the vehicle driving on Garrisonville Road and found three adults from New York and a young child in the vehicle. The child was sitting in a car seat without a base that was secured to the vehicle. A search of the vehicle revealed a substance consistent with marijuana, Vicinanzo said. Security footage from the store confirmed that one of the passengers, Nnamdi Chijoke Onyeukwu, 24, was the person who entered the convenience store and attempted to make a purchase. The caller who reported the incident also confirmed
the identity. Alexis Curtis, 24, the driver of the car and mother of the child, told detectives that Onyeukwu offered to pay her $150 to drive him from New York to North Carolina. She claimed no connection to the fraudulent cards, but gave deputies a fraudulent New York driver’s permit. She also admitted to smoking marijuana in the vehicle in the presence of her child. Once incarcerated, deputies discovered that she hid 13.6 grams of marijuana under her clothing, Vicinanzo said. Detectives also discovered that Curtis is wanted in Durham, N.C., for assault
and battery, and assault with a deadly weapon. She is charged with felony child neglect, possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance by an inmate, conspiracy to commit a felony and giving a false identity to law enforcement. Onyeukwu is charged with credit card larceny, conspiracy to commit a felony, identity fraud, credit card fraud, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, obtaining by false pretenses and possession of marijuana. The third adult in the vehicle, Peter Germain, 35, is charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor, conspiracy to commit a felony and possession of marijuana. All three were incarcerated at the Rappahannock Regional Jail without bond.

ALL SOULS DAY MASS
A field mass for All Souls Day was celebrated at the historic Brent Cemetery near U.S. 1 about one mile from St. William of York Catholic Church in North Stafford on Oct. 28. The celebrant was the Rev. Robert DeMartino, pastor of the church. The cemetery dates back to 1686 and is owned by the Catholic Diocese of Arlington.
Stafford County Supervisors’ Chairman Paul Milde, R-Aquia, released a statement this week with respect to the upcoming election. Milde noted in an email to InsideNoVA, with support from the Stafford County Republican Committee, that at least a few friends and supporters who already had several of his large signs from past campaigns, have retrofitted them with the words “write in” and put them
up around the Aquia district. Milde is not running for re-election on the board of supervisors. “I will be voting for Cindy Shelton, the Republican nominee,” Milde said. “I would not want to do anything to split Republican vote.” He said that he is flattered but does not support these efforts, has no involvement and has made that clear to his supporters. — Tracy Bell

These are costs for it didn’t like. We’ll be paying for these in roads, schools and services. Otherwise, crowded schools and increased taxes for those costs are almost entirely borne by years. So what happens next? What happens the community. Stafford, unfortunately, at least historically, never did that well at when the developers realize that their legislative full court press may offer some negotiating proffers, but they helped. But that wasn’t good enough for the unexpected consequences? Namely, no fu-
ture rezoning approvals for the real money makers in the housing business, like townhouses, apartments and high density single family homes. Then it’s going to hurt. Many used to argue that a good reason to support a proffered higher density re-zoning is that the by-right authority would let the owner develop the property anyway. However, if that were the case, why would a developer invest so much time and money in requesting a re-zoning? It’s an extraordinarily expensive process. That’s because without the re-zoning to more money making development plans, they can’t make enough money to justify the project. Now, with that proffer spigot closed and local governments showing a reluctance to approve new projects, there is strange phenomenon happening. Builders, developers and real estate agents are wondering if this bill was such a good idea. Maybe it went a little overboard. Yes, proffers were a pain, but as they look back, boards of supervisors were weak kneed and often, as was the case in Stafford, incompetent bargainers. So why, they ask, did we mess with a good thing? Good question. Now what seems to be happening is that the development community, as well as many of their supporters in the House of Delegates and state Senate, is thinking a change might be in order. Something that doesn’t repeal last year’s bill— that would look bad—but has much the same effect. Don’t be surprised if just such a bill is introduced during the next session.

I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised since politics have been like this from our country’s inception. If you remember your American history, even George Washington had trouble with party affiliations, political nastiness and mudslinging. Alexander Hamilton’s Federalists were opposed to the Democratic-Republicans and Thomas Jefferson. All these guys said nasty things about each other even then, and they set the stage for all the following elections.

Don’t vote whoknows-what.” The 82-year-old Ipson said he hasn’t missed voting in an election since he was 18 years old. “I’ll vote for dogcatcher, because if I don’t get what I want, then I get what I deserve.

and encouraging, it doesn’t bring out the real differences between candidates. It would be nice if all candidates would be required to engage in a polite traditional debate or real questionand-answer public town hall meeting to put some meat on the political bone. It would be nice to find out who, other than Arby’s, has the meat—the meat needed to provide intelligent leadership to benefit all Stafford County citizens. Without a little bit of polite, intellectual combat to define and explain their positions in detail, it is difficult to judge who is the best candidate.
Without the pressure of standing up in public, face to face with an opponent and supplying the details of their plans, we can only rely on what we read. For those who care, the best we can do is to research positions, attend candidate gatherings and ask questions, write requesting positions on issues and in general do our homework. We need the plan details, no generalities, no platitudes, no fuzzy pictures. Remember, Gen. Custer had a plan that lacked a few details.

running for the Stafford County Board of Supervisors are not resorting to character assassination. Unfortunately, as most politicians do, they are not giving much of the details of how they plan to make their plans work. So, how do we as voters decide on who has the best plan? Some of us vote simply along party lines and don’t need the details. But for those looking for the best plans, details are important. Most of the incumbents’ records are well known. However, the challengers, except for Mark Dudenhefer, are far less known and are, as little-known challengers always are, at a disadvantage.
In the Falmouth District, Meg Bohmke is challenged by C. Greg Bundrick. In the Aquia District, Cindy Shelton, Yolanda Roussell and Sharon Foley are vying for the seat long held by Paul Milde who gave it up to run unsuccessfully against Bob Thomas for the GOP nomination in the House 28th Distrtict. In the Garrisonville District, it is current Supervisor Laura Sellers versus former supervisor and Del. Mark Dudenhefer. And four-term Supervisor Gary Snellings is opposed by newcomer Tracey Bell.

Cochran winding down career with Limestone field hockey DAVID DRIVER » BY For InsideNoVa
Tabria Cochran began playing field hockey, with the encouragement of a good friend, when she was in middle school at Rodney E. Thompson in Stafford. But she had a change in heart as a high school freshman at North Stafford High School. “When I was in high school I decided I didn’t want to play. I came back my sophomore year and we didn’t have a goalie,” she said. “I ended up loving it. It was just natural for me.” Cochran is now a senior goalie for the field hockey team at Division II Limestone in Gaffney, South Carolina. She has gained several honors during her four-year college career, including 2015 All-ECAC first-team and ECAC All-tournament team; 2016 all-ECAC first team and co-goalkeeper of the year; and this fall she was the ECAC defensive player of the week on two occasions and gained honorable mention for national weekly honors Oct. 11. “Personal awards are nice. I get them and I am cool. The reason I am making the saves is not for the awards; we are trying to get to the NCAAs,” she said. Cochran was already at Limestone on a partial scholarship when Jessica Mulhern became the head coach for the Saints in time for the 2014 season. “Tabria is just so athletic. We have two goalies who are seniors who came [to

Limestone] at the same time,” Mulhern said in a phone interview. “It was just a competition between the two of them. They both bring something to the table.” Mulhern said Cochran had plenty of chances as a goalie at North Stafford to be tested between the pipes. “She was a really hard worker. She has gained a lot of skill and knowledge of the game,” said Mulhern, a standout in college at Adelphi in New York. “She is the stability of our senior defense.” Cochran played in the first 17 games this year, with 14 starts, and allowed just 17 goals with 62 saves. Limestone was 14-3 overall and 9-1 in conference play in its first 17 contests. The
Saints had their regular-season finale Oct. 28 at Kutztown in Pennsylvania and lost 2-1 in overtime to a team ranked No. 8 in the country at the time at the Division II level. The Saints will take part in their conference tournament starting Saturday, Nov. 3, in the ECAC event in Missouri. Cochran played in 19 games, all starts, last year as a junior and had 75 saves for Limestone, and helped the team post a record of 11-8 overall while playing nearly 1,215 minutes in the cage. As a sophomore in 2015, she played in 17 games, with 16 starts, and allowed 2.01 goals per contest and had a save percentage of .679. She worked her way into the starting

lineup as a freshman in 2014 and played in 18 games, with 14 starts. She had a save percentage of 79 and played 934 minutes as the Saints went 12-3. Limestone missed out on a national tourney berth last year. “It is definitely motivating. We were right there on the cusp. This year we wanted to get our offense going. We have some people who have found the back of the cage,” she said. Cochran is majoring in athletic training and is on track to graduate next year. She may attend graduate school for athletic training. Cochran was all-conference as a senior at North Stafford and was the defensive MVP for the Wolverines as a junior and senior. She is the daughter of Tara and Michael Howard and Terrence and Angie Cochran. Her sister, Terricka, attended Virginia State in Petersburg. Other North Stafford High grads at the college level include University of Virginia-Wise football players Trey Heard (freshman linebacker), Andre Hamilton (senior defensive back), Cedrick Watkins (senior wide receiver) and Von Purvis (junior running back). Another member of the team is Jayson Waters, a freshman offensive lineman from Stafford High. Virginia-Wise plays at Notre Dame College of Ohio on Nov. 4 and then hosts Division II power Shepherd of West Virginia in the regular-season finale Nov. 11.

Colonial Forge football passes each test » BY DAVID FAWCETT
dfawcett@insidenova.com
After Colonial Forge totaled 120 yards in penalties in a 14-6 win over Riverbend on Sept. 22, head coach Bill Brown wanted his team to understand how much yardage the Eagles lost. When the game was over, Brown had his players walk from one end of the field to the other and then some, for a distance of 120 yards. Brown made his point. The Eagles haven’t come close to recording that many penalty yards since. In its quest to remain unbeaten, Colonial Forge has faced its fair share of challenges. Riverbend was one example. The Eagles also trailed Hylton by 14 points in the first half and 13 in the second half before winning 37-34 in overtime. And the Eagles went scoreless in the first half against Massaponax before winning 36-7.
Colonial Forge game-by-game this season » Aug. 25 Patriot, 40-3 » Sept. 1 Albemarle, 49-0 » Sept. 8 at Grassfield, 42-0 » Sept. 15 at Hylton, 37-34 (OT) » Sept. 22 Riverbend, 14-6 » Sept. 29 at Brooke Point, 42-14 » Oct. 6 at Massaponax, 36-7 » Oct. 13 Stafford, 42-7 » Oct. 27 at Mountain View, 37-7
“We’ve had games where things don’t fall into place,” Brown said. “We’ve overcome them. We don’t fall to pieces.” Colonial Forge (9-0) entered the season with high expectations. But for all the experience the Eagles returned from last season’s 11-3 team, Brown emphasized two areas that took priority. “Preparation and effort,” Brown said.
Send your news to Staffordnews@insidenova.com
“We look for those two, not three, four, five or six. We’ve had a lot of success doing that on Friday nights.” The Eagles have already clinched the Commonwealth District title. A win, though Friday against North Stafford, gives Colonial Forge its first 10-0 regular season finish since 2010. The Eagles have also wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the Class 6, Region B playoffs. With seven teams advancing to region-
als, Colonial Forge received a first-round bye and will not play again until Friday, Nov. 17. The Eagles have home-field advantage through the regional’s final two rounds. While the Eagles are in good shape, Brown views Friday’s game against North Stafford as another important test. “We’re playing against a good team with four Division I players,” Brown said. “That’s what we’re going to see in the playoffs. It’s good preparation.”

On the ballots in Stafford County The following area candidates submitted information about their campaigns to InsideNoVa/North Stafford.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES 2ND DISTRICT JENNIFER CARROLL FOY, DEMOCRAT I am a lifelong Virginian who has devoted my life to public service — fighting for the voiceless as a foster mother and public defender—and I hope to serve you as delegate. As one of the first women of color to graduate from Virginia Military Institute (VMI), I know what it means to overcome obstacles to get things done. Our community is looking for solutions to real, everyday problems. A vote for me is a vote for more accessible, affordable healthcare, for fixing our traffic problems, for increasing teacher salaries and reducing classroom size, and for defending women's healthcare. As a foster mom and public defender, I understand how working families and children aren't served well by our current system. We must expand Medicaid to 400,000 Virginians—veterans, women and working families—immediately and ensure all Virginians have access to affordable healthcare. As delegate, I will strengthen our schools by working to increase teacher pay and reduce classroom size. We are losing our teaching talent to neighboring counties that pay more, and some students are being educated in overcrowded trailers. We must ensure every student in Prince William and Stafford counties receives a quality education. Traffic is another major quality-of-life issue. I commute every day from my home in Woodbridge to my job as a public defender in Arlington, and I know personally the pain of losing family time to being stuck in traffic on I-95. As delegate, I will work to extend the Metro Blue Line to Potomac Mills, add PRTC buses stops in Stafford County, expand the VRE platforms and add VRE rail cars to take commuters off the roads and ease traffic. Learn more about our vision for the 2nd District at jennifercarrollfoy.org, and I hope to earn your vote on Nov. 7.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES 28TH DISTRICT JOSHUA COLE, DEMOCRAT Today the world appears to be full of problems. Like a giant, these problems tower over us and force us to question if we can tackle these issues. However, like the story of David who toppled Goliath, it is not a question of "if " but "who" will slay the giant. I am running for the Virginia 28th House District because the hard-working citizens of Fredericksburg and Stafford need a representative who will fight these giants in Richmond and serve all of the people, not just special interests.
10
I am proud to say grew up in the district I am now running in. I graduated from North Stafford and returned to my home to pastor at my church. The struggles that I witnessed our parishioners and fellow citizens toiling through pushed me to take on this fight. The commonwealth is in a dilemma. We have a group of leaders who deny that their people are suffering, yet the masses say otherwise. As I knock on doors I have heard the same story countless times, "I don't vote because my vote doesn't matter." Do not believe that you do not have a voice. I ran to give a voice to those without a voice. The Republican Party took control of Virginia's House of Delegates in 2000, promising to make life better for citizens. Yet, the track record has shown otherwise. After almost two decades of majority-rule, we have the worst traffic in the country, inadequate funding for our schools, over 400,000 at-risk Virginians without healthcare, a Rappahannock River poisoned by toxins from fracking, and growing wealth inequality. We cannot afford another term of this leadership. Virginians need a clear, fresh direction for our government. We need new solutions, not old excuses. I believe Virginia has a candidate with that vision. This year let's vote for a fighter; vote Joshua Cole on Nov. 7.
BOB THOMAS, REPUBLICAN I am running to fill the seat of outgoing House Speaker Bill Howell in the 28th District. Our community is a wonderfully vibrant collection of the greatest our commonwealth has to offer, but I know we can do even more to ensure our future success. I served in the Marine Corps where I learned a significant amount about character, integrity, and service to one’s nation. If elected, I will translate these lessons into serving our community in Richmond. Eleven years ago I started a small business with a fellow Marine, and we have grown our company to nearly 30 employees. I’ve learned along the way how government can slow down entrepreneurs, and I will work hard to solve these issues so business owners can create more jobs for all of us. I’ve had the opportunity to serve my fellow citizens on the Stafford County Board of Supervisors for the last six years. It has been the highest honor of my life, and the experience has given me a unique perspective on how our future delegate must work hard in Richmond to assist our local elected officials. My priorities for our district will be finding solutions for our transportation problems and bringing my local experience as a member of the Stafford Board of Supervisors to Richmond. With eight children in public schools, I know we have a wonderful school system that

could be even better. I will work hard to support our educators and properly fund our public education system. My experience has positioned me to be an effective legislator in Richmond. As a Marine, I took an oath to fight for everyone, not just some people; and that is exactly what I plan to do if I am elected to serve our community in the Virginia House of Delegates.
HOUSE OF DELEGATES 88TH DISTRICT GERALD ANDERSON, GREEN Gerald Anderson is the Green Party candidate for the 88th House District delegate seat. He is running because what he has observed over the past 50 years has not been “what was pledged to us” by our politicians and the powerful corporations. They promised a life of plenty for all if we worked hard for them under their rules. Instead, they are about the only ones who have prospered. On an inflation-adjusted basis, their disposable incomes over the past 50 years have gone up by more than 100 percent while the rest of us have seen a decrease of 25 percent. Exploitation of the working class at its best. In addition, Anderson has seen the continued destruction of our environment by the big corporations and the continued push for “junk food” diets. As a result, healthcare costs are now more than 300 percent higher than 50 years ago, something that could easily be reversed. And, he has seen our public education system go from first in the world to about 30th. As a delegate, his objectives are to: • Return our democracy “to the people” through campaign finance reforms, • Improve the take-home pay of the majority of Virginia citizens through state income tax reform and raising the minimum wage • Promote high paying renewable energy jobs in the state • Vastly improve environmental protections to improve the health of our citizens and preserve the beautiful nature of our state. • Expand public education programs by pushing for more pre-K funding; and providing tuition credits to cover vocational school/community college costs for lower income families. • Improve our public education system through needed reforms and better teacher pay • Expand Medicaid to assure medical care for all • Improve health education in our schools and improve the diet and nutrition served to our children.

have lived in the Fredericksburg area for 23 years. I was executive director of the Fredericksburg Area Baptist Network before retiring from that position two years ago. We have four children, all of whom graduated from public schools. I am a member of the Rappahannock Rotary Club and Stafford Junction Board of Directors. I have worked to bring together people across religious, ethnic, gender and nationality lines. I believe we can make this an even better place to live and raise a family. Among the most serious issues we face is traffic congestion. Our roads are among the most crowded in the country. Some of our elected officials believe this is a problem that cannot be solved. We need an area transportation authority which can raise local funds to leverage more state funds for our local area. The current delegate even voted against the 2013 bipartisan transportation bill. We need to increase the availability of VRE trains, especially on weekends. We need to encourage smart growth which would encourage development where public transit is available. A tax credit for expenses of companies that permit telecommuting should be passed by the state legislature. Funding for public education should be increased to improve teacher and staff salaries. Universal pre-k education should be funded by Virginia, which would pay dividends throughout secondary education. We need to continue to reform SOLs so that teachers can teach students how to learn rather than how to take a test. We need to move as quickly as feasible from fossil fuels to renewable energy such as wind and solar. Our progress in cleaning up the air, soil, and water needs to continue. The Rappahannock River and Chesapeake Bay must be returned to health and productivity. Our progress toward equal opportunity and rights for all Virginians should be strengthened. Medicaid expansion which would cover 400,000 additional people, including 2,500 in the 88th District, should be accepted by Virginia. This will help the working poor as well as struggling hospitals who are now forced to cover emergency patients at our cost.

the 88th District as your representative. As your delegate I will: -Address the traffic issues with innovative ideas and fighting for a Regional transportation authority to support the needs of our district. -fight to fully fund public education and I will say no to vouchers. -Remove the mental health stigma so people can get their lives back on track
-Concentrate on giving school administrators the discipline authority in their schools and stopping the school-to-prison pipeline. -work with small business owners to help ensure their success. -raise awareness of the opioid epidemic and find solutions and treatment -better pay for teachers and our first responders.
-I will work hard to solve social justice issues Everyone knows that I am not afraid to tackle any problem. In fact, I am known for raising awareness of problems and enlisting the help of the community to solve them. Spotsylvania County had a huge homeless student population that grew exponentially in 2008 after the recession hit, and I personally made sure
those students were cared for and didn't slip through the cracks I know the gaps that still exist as a result of that downward spiral in our economy. I am running on my 10-year record and I am known to be responsive, answer calls, text and e-mails. I have the knowledge, experience and the desire to represent you in the 88th District of the House of Delegate.
these challenges and make our community better, if we just work together. Stafford County is growing and becoming more and more diverse, yet our county leadership does not represent that diversity. We must work better together. I am reaching out to the community now, and will continue when I am elected to the Board. I will work with my fellow supervisors to create better relationships state wide, county wide and especially with the county school board. Schools and education need to be a priority. Our seasoned teachers are staples in every school and must be retained. We can do that with better benefit packages and pay increases for our teachers, support staff and bus drivers. Traffic Congestion is a huge issue. We need to bring all entities and stakeholders to the table to find viable solutions. We must carefully look at all options. This might include a Regional Transportation Authority, extending Metro, and improving VRE. We should also look at adding express vans from Park and Rides to the VRE stations, possibly adding telecommuting centers, and creating more great local jobs allowing some to work closer to home! If you drive by the Aquia Towne Center (ATC), you’ll notice the same pile of rocks that has been there for at least 10 years. We must work closer with the owner of the property and we must include the community to bring the ATC back to life. We can solve Stafford’s problems, but we can only do it if we put our collective heads together and work as a team. Vote Yolanda for Aquia on Nov. 7, and you will see that we are all Better Together!
– we spread energy in many directions – spending money but not solving the things most important. Cindy will focus on your priorities be it road congestion, teacher salaries, quality of education, or even dust in the streets. Cindy has met with many leaders and engineers to understand challenges and opportunities facing Stafford. Recently, Democratic BOS Candidate Laura Sellers publicly complemented Cindy for the depth her knowledge on VDOTS Smart Scale. Cindy is endorsed by a wide range of individuals in the Stafford Board of Supervisors, Sheriff ’s Jett and Decatur, former Governor George Allen, Senator Stuart and Speaker Howell. All acknowledge her spirit, openness, and unique expertise. Project Management and Value Engineering demand transparency and complete impartiality in decision making. This requires a non-partisan logical approach to assure undue influence by Political Action Committees and inappropriate relationships. Unlike her opponents, Cindy has not accepted any funding or endorsements from PACs. Cindy’s compassion for others is evident in her active work with the DC homeless and the local Fraternal order of Eagles. She is a member of the Lions Club and two Churches. She fights tirelessly for the rights of special needs adults. Why is she running? Service before self. Mission incomplete. Vote Nov. 7.
The primary issues facing the District are quality of life and the need for a transparent, responsive and ethical County government. Quality of life is the core and in orbit around it are interrelated issues of good schools, a strong local economy, affordable workforce housing, transportation and infrastructure. Currently, these elements are out of whack so we end up with school overcrowding, teacher flight, sprawl, a low commercial tax base and gridlock. I will work to bring these elements into alignment by working with constituents, Democrats, Republicans, independents, the free market sector and community groups. I also will work with our federal and state government partners to make sure we are getting our fair share of resources. Falmouth needs a change in leadership. As a licensed social worker with years of administrative experience, I’m ready to work with people and deliver results.

AQUIA DISTRICT
SHARON FOLEY, INDEPENDENT My name is Sharon Foley and I am an independent candidate for the Aquia District Board of Supervisor position. I have lived in Stafford since 2004, following my husband’s retirement from the U.S. Marine Corps. I am a certified counselor and have worked in the military community since 1991. My daughters graduated from Brooke Point High School and my son is attending Stafford Middle School. I have been actively engaged in local government since 2004. Over the years, I have recognized that the squeaky wheel truly does get oiled. Staying abreast of policy decisions takes time and energy. The voices of those who cannot attend meetings or write emails are often not reflected in Board decisions. I joined other parents in filing a grievance against the School Board over redistricting decisions because the voices of many families were not heard. I am an independent because I vote for candidates who are best prepared for the job, rather than a party platform. We need elected officials who will serve the citizens, not personal or party interests. I am active in the community, I have followed local government for over ten years, and I am ready to represent all voices in the Aquia District. The most pressing issues in Stafford are education, development, and transportation. Our population is expected to grow by 25% by 2025 and we have not added any new schools since 2006. Class sizes are growing and we are not prepared for the increased population. A high quality public school system contributes to property values. The county needs to invest in its schools and staff. The rampant residential growth in Stafford has stretched our infrastructure to its limits. We need to slow development. Planning should focus on encouraging the use of existing retail space and increasing opportunities for small business. Finally, solving our transportation challenges will require looking outside of the county for assistance. The burden must be shared by the state and federal government. I also support the exploration of a regional transportation authority to provide additional revenue to improve local roads. YOLANDA ROUSSELL, DEMOCRAT We have some real challenges in Stafford County, including traffic congestion, education issues, rubble at the Aquia Town Center and more. We can overcome

FALMOUTH GREG BUNDRICK, DEMOCRAT My wife Janet and I love our life and neighborhood in Falmouth. However, our life was disrupted last year when we got an e-mail from Supervisor Meg Bohmke notifying us of a town hall meeting to discuss plans for a conditional use permit for a large commercial event center right across the street. The permit would have allowed 300 people per event and 90 cars going up and down our narrow, winding road. Ms. Bohmke’s attitude was not impartial and she strongly marketed the project. Our community was largely opposed and pointed out the risks in terms of nuisance, noise and safety. Ms. Bohmke dismissed our concerns and declared she did not need our approval. She made a formal motion at a board meeting to approve the project but it died for want of a second. At that point I decided that Falmouth deserved better representation and that I should run for the Board of Supervisors. EDUCATION

GARRISONVILLE DISTRICT LAURA SELLERS, DEMOCRAT Education has to be the number one priority. We must invest in our teachers, bus drivers, paraprofessionals and everyone else. We must continue reducing our class sizes and begin reducing the amount of time our children are spending riding buses. We can do all of this without raising taxes. First, elected officials need to be asking better questions that encourage our staff to communicate, not just talk. Anyone who works for Stafford County – government or school – should be working off of the same formulas and numbers. Next, we must do a better job supporting and encouraging businesses. Business growth will generate revenue without having to raise property taxes. We are working with the business community to identify proactive ways of encouraging business growth and development. In response, we have attracted businesses like SimVentions and Virginia Linens to our county. Both brining new revenue, as well as, good paying job opportunities to our citizens. At the same time, we must focus on ways of protecting our rural areas. The areas between Courthouse Rd and Garrisonville Rd have been zoned for dense population since the 1980s, therefore, canBALLOTS not be to blame for PAGE 13 overcrowding or conSPORTS

gestion. However, smaller less dense developments in our rural areas are creating a very real issue on our infrastructure. Unfortunately, many citizens are selling their properties as investments and state law limits the county’s options for controlling growth. The Purchase of Development Rights program is a way for the county to offer a financial incentive to property owners for not developing their land. Since 2014, we have preserved about 300 acres and are in the process of preserving another 700 acres right now. I am seeking re-election because I believe that the county is headed in the right direction and I want to continue fighting for Garrisonville!
HARTWOOD DISTRICT TRACEY BELL, DEMOCRAT Hartwood and the Stafford County Board of Supervisors need fresh new ideas, and that’s what I’ll bring to the table. It’s time I entered public service like my parents, because there’s nothing more honorable. My mom is a retired deputy sheriff with the Fairfax County Sheriff ’s Office and my dad is a retired U.S. Navy veteran. So it is time to get to work for Hartwood. I’ve knocked on a thousand doors, and Hartwood voters tell me they absolutely
Stafford County School Board FALMOUTH DISTRICT
GARRISONVILLE DISTRICT
SARAH BREEDIN CHASE My children have received a terrific education in Stafford County over the past 16 years. But during the past eight years, I have seen high-quality teachers leaving Stafford and I am concerned. In March of 2015, Stafford County Schools received the results of an efficiency study conducted by Evergreen. I was disappointed by many of the proposals set forth in the report. On July 30, 2015, it was revealed that some employees of the school system had been hiding salary lapse funds and then redistributing them without the oversight of the school board. This had been going on for upwards of twelve years. Those funds could have been used to keep good teachers in the county, thus providing the children of Stafford with a better education. These events compelled me to run for office. While raising our three children, I have been a visiting professor off and on at UMW and an active volunteer in Stafford schools. I served on the PTO/PTA boards of Falmouth, Drew, and Stafford High School. A more complete list of my volunteering can be found on my campaign’s website. The work of the school board is complex and nuanced and its members should bring different perspectives and backgrounds. While the current board’s membership includes those with management and legal backgrounds, it is lacking the perspective and expertise of a professional educator and researcher. As a university professor, I have taught college freshmen and have first-hand experience working with students who have graduated from Virginia’s public schools. I also know that college is not for everyone. I have strong critical thinking skills and good data analysis and interpretation skills. I enjoy looking for patterns and inconsistencies in data, and I like solving problems. I have the time and energy to devote to this important job.
PAMELA YEUNG All students have equal value and should have an equal opportunity for a great education. That’s why a top quality education needs to have the highest priority in Stafford County, and to accomplish that we need to build better relations with all the stakeholders, the school board, the county board of supervisors, teachers, parents and the community in general. That’s my mission, along with bringing business and technology experience, decision making skills, diversity and trust to the Stafford County School Board. As a technology professional with a bachelor’s degree from Howard University and a graduate degree in Information Technology from Johns Hopkins University, I currently work in the Information Technology and Healthcare industry providing solutions to improve the health and wellness for many. I speak multiple languages fluently, including Spanish and Dutch. I am a mother of four who thoroughly believes in a good education. Two of my children are recent UVA graduates, a third graduated from VCU and is currently studying Anesthesiology at Duke University, and my youngest is a senior at North Stafford High School. I also regularly attend school board meetings and board of supervisors’ meetings. I was a member of several advisory committees to the schoolboard and was appointed to the Stafford County Telecommunications Committee in 2013, where I advise the Board on local infrastructure issues. My priorities include smaller classes, which improves interaction between students and teachers. Another priority is competitive salaries, which are needed to keep quality experienced teachers in Stafford County and finally trust and transparency. I also plan to bring innovative ideas and fresh energy to the Board, and I will work hard to make a positive difference and advocate for the community’s educational vision and values.

hate sitting in traffic. We need to find ways to decrease congestion, cut down on accidents and ensure our roads are safe. Driving through our community, we see way too many vacant storefronts. Let’s work for economic growth here in Hartwood. Instead of building new shopping areas elsewhere in the county, let’s bring new business to Hartwood. Water quality and availability is another issue that I promise to focus on. We must keep our wells full and our water safe! I graduated from Colonial Forge High School in 2006, and I know how important education is.
