Police officers from allover the country vowedto “ride for those who

died” this week.Police Unity Tour Chapter IV

- also known as the Virginiachapter - challenged officers ona three day bicycle tour fromRichmond to D.C. in memoryfor fallen officers.

Before the last stop at RobertF. Kennedy Memorial Stadium,the group of 122 officers andloved ones of fallen policestopped for lunch at McConnellPublic Safety and Transporta-tion Operations Center Mondayin Fairfax as a tribute to thecounty most the officers served.

“We had a good group ofpeople this year,” said HerndonPolice Chief and Chapter IVPresident Maggie DeBoard. “Alot of them never knew eachother, but now we’re like fam-ily.”

She said seven family mem-bers of fallen officers joined thetour this year. She also notedthat some of the officers camefrom as far away as Las Vegasand Ohio.

Last year, the event raised$1.7 million towards the Na-tional Law Enforcement Offic-ers Memorial Fund. To ride,each bicyclist must raise at least$1,700, she said.

Many of the police - mostdressed in official Police UnityTour uniforms - showed slightsigns of pain after the three daycycle event despite the rigoroustraining many go through onthe job.

“This is the most difficultchapters to ride because of thehills,” said DeBoard.

THE COURSE’S FIRSTSTOP after departing Rich-mond is Charlottesville. Thecyclists then head through thefoothills of the Blue RidgeMountains to Warrington andFairfax before finishing inWashington, D.C.

HPD officer Steven Monahansaid the weather during primetraining season kept many of-ficers from practicing properly.

“Because the winter was soharsh, it was hard to train out-doors,” he said. “At the end ofthe day, though, it’s not aboutthe pain we feel. It’s about whowe’re riding for. That’s whatkeeps me going.”

Deputy Chief Tammy Hooperrode the tour for the first timethis year to honor Charlie Hill,an officer who died 25 yearsago.

“It’s also my 25th year on thepolice department, so I thoughtit would be a good tribute,” shesaid, showing the blue metalbracelet on her wrist with Hill’sname on it.

According to odmp.org, Hillwas killed in March 1989 afteropening fire on a drug dealerwho held a gun to a hostage’shead, demanding that his debtget paid. The suspect hadenough time to open fire beforehe was killed, mortally wound-ing Hill and injuring a secondofficer.

Hooper said she met Hill dur-ing police academy on theshooting range, where he wasan instructor.

Lucas County Sheriff’s Depart-ment Deputy Rob Sehermerhorncame down from Ohio to ridewith the Virginia chapter.

“My friend, Keith Dressel,died in the line of duty,” he said.“He interrupted a drug bust.”

The E-ZPass Flex is critical, McGurk said, becauseit will allow those who are traveling HOV-3 in theHOV lanes today to enjoy the same toll-free trip.Regardless of whether drivers participate in a slug,carpool or vanpool, any vehicle with three or morepeople needs an E-ZPass Flex to use the express lanes.“You can take advantage of that same network thatyou travel today with the HOV lanes,” McGurk said.

Drivers are encouraged to plan ahead asthe opening of the 95 Express Lanes willchange the way the interstate is used. Alldrivers using the express lanes are re-quired to purchase an E-ZPass. Those whotravel with three or more people in theirvehicle must purchase an E-ZPass Flex andswitch it to the toll-free HOV mode whentraveling on the express lanes.

When the 95 Express Lanes open in2015, all drivers, whether they aredriving alone, in a carpool, a slug, orin a vehicle with a clean fuel plate,

will be required to purchase an E-ZPass or E-ZPassFlex to use these lanes.

“What drivers need to understand is that while theytravel these HOV lanes today, and a lot of folks havebeen traveling these HOV lanes for years, the rulesthat occur in the HOV lanes are going to change whenthe Express Lanes open in 2015,” said MichaelMcGurk, a spokesperson for the 95 Express Lanesproject.

Unlike the 495 Express Lanes project, which wasmore like building a highway within a highway,McGurk said, HOV lanes on 95 are being convertedinto express lanes.

“With that conversion comes a whole bunch of dif-ferent rules,” McGurk said.

To raise awareness of the changes, the 95 ExpressLanes project, along with the Virginia Departmentof Transportation and the Department of Rail andPublic Transportation, launched the “Make a Plan”campaign on April 14.

“We want those who use the HOV lanes to con-tinue to vanpool, carpool, slug on the express lanes,but they’ve got to do their homework,” McGurk said.

THE EXPRESS LANES will run from StaffordCounty near Garrisonville Road up to 395 near EdsallRoad, nearly 29 miles. Anyone using the express laneswill need to purchase an E-ZPass or E-ZPass Flex,which are available at retailers throughout the area,including Giant and Wegmans.

“The E-ZPass Flex is the special E-ZPass that wascreated for use on the 495 Express Lanes, and thenthe 95 Express Lanes as well, that gives people theoption to take a toll-free trip if you have three or

The 95 Express Lanes, scheduled to open in early 2015, will require all users to pur-chase an E-ZPass. Shown here is construction from fall 2013 at the northern end of theproject area.

Steve Willey, a member of VirginiaTask Force One and lead instruc-tor of Fairfax County’s CommunityEmergency Response Team

(CERT), acknowledges that the police andfire department are dependable in the com-munity after a major disaster.

But, it’s important to be prepared, sincepolice and fire and rescue are sent first tomajor incidents, making it important forcommunity members to take control of theirown safety. That’s where CERT comes in.

CERT classes, taught by firefighters andtrained leaders, provide students with 20hours of training. Class members learn prac-tical skills and practice them in a hands-onsetting. CERT trains citizens how to be pre-pared and help their families, neighbors andthemselves in a disaster situation.

“You learn everything from how to pre-pare for a disaster to how to conduct searchand rescues to how to take care of pets dur-ing a disaster,” said Missy Tuttle-Ferrio, thelead CERT coordinator.

THE CLASSES, which are taught yearround at the Fairfax County Fire and Res-cue Academy as well as locations through-out the community, teach students not onlyhow to prepare themselves for a disaster,but also how to help their community afteran incident.

For example, students learn about searchand rescue techniques, and even practiceon model buildings also used by studentsof the Fire and Rescue Academy.

During the May 12 class of the spring ses-sion of CERT at the Fire and Rescue Acad-emy, Mike Fogy taught students about the

ins and outs of incident command, completewith several zombie references. After thelecture, students put on their gear, whichincludes a vest, helmet, goggles, gloves, andknee pads, and began the hands-on lessonto practice what they just learned.

Fogy, who has first-hand experience fromhis part in rescue efforts at the World TradeCenter and Haiti, said the classes help mem-bers be prepared for events such as theDerecho that occurred a few years ago.

“It teaches them how to look for top pri-orities after a disaster situation in theirneighborhood,” Fogy said. “If you’re notthinking ahead, you’re going to be behind.”

Willey brings first-hand experience as acommand officer in the Fairfax County Fireand Rescue Department and as a first re-sponder in a variety of disaster responses.

At the end of the session, students par-ticipate in a final exercise in a huge area atthe site of the former Lorton Prison. Theymust determine their priorities as they res-cue victims from a disaster scenario, whichcould be anything from a hurricane to anearthquake.

“It makes it feel like it’s a real disaster,”Tuttle-Ferrio said. “At first they have a hugerush of adrenaline, but then their trainingkicks in.”

Anyone over the age of 18 who lives,works or worships in Fairfax County is eli-gible to enroll in CERT. But for those whocan’t take a class just yet, instructors urgeresidents to be prepared with a 72-hour kit.

“You can get by without power, but notwithout food or water. Having a 72-hourkit ensures you have what you need,” Willeysaid.

SOME STUDENTS love the class so muchthat they say they want to becomefirefighters. Others do it because they wantto give back to the community. Regardlessof what they get out of the class, Tuttle-Ferrio says that most of the students haveto work on not being nervous during a drill.

“Everyone is nervous at first, but withmore training, it goes away,” she said. “Itcan be very stressful, especially with thevictim-actors because it makes it seem morerealistic.”

CERT, which was established in FairfaxCounty in 2003, is a nationwide programthat began in a 1985 earthquake prepara-tion initiative held by the Los Angeles FireDepartment. It is run by the Federal Emer-gency Management Association.

The next session of CERT classes beginsMay 21 at the Greater Springfield Fire De-partment. To register, visit http://volunteer.fairfaxcounty.gov.

Training provideshands-on disasterresponse skills.

Express Lanes Require E-ZPass

The only passengers receiving a toll-free trip onthe express lanes will be those with a total of threeor more people in their car, transit riders, or motor-cycle riders.

“Today on the HOV lanes, if you have a specialclean fuel license plate that was issued before July2006, you can use the HOV lanes without meetingthe HOV-3 occupancy requirement,” McGurk said.“That will change as well on the 95 Express Lanes.The only way to get that toll free ride is with threeor more or riding a bus or motorcycle.” Under thecurrent HOV system, drivers with less than threepeople are not able to use the lanes during restrictedpeak times. However, under the new express lanessystem, those drivers can pay a toll to access the lanesat any time, McGurk said.

“So during peak morning rush hour, 7:30 and 8 inthe morning, normally they aren’t allowed in the HOVlane network, but they’re going to have the opportu-nity to be able to pay a toll to get in the expresslanes network,” McGurk said. Once the 95 ExpressLanes end at Edsall Road in Springfield, those with

three or more people in their vehicles can continuenorth onto the I-395 HOV lanes. However, duringtimes when the I-395 HOV rules are in effect, thosewho do not meet the HOV requirement will have toexit the express lanes and travel on the main partsof I-395 when the express lanes end at Edsall Road.“While using the 95 Express Lanes will be easy, it’simportant that all travelers make a plan for thechanges the 95 Express Lanes will bring to I-95,” saidKevin Ginnerty, Director of Project Delivery,Transurban, in an April 14 press release. “Many trav-elers use the HOV lanes today – whether for com-muting, weekend or vacation trips – and it’s impor-tant that they familiarize themselves with new rulesof the road for the 95 Express Lanes.”

IN APRIL, Governor Terry McAuliffe announced thatthe 95 Express Lanes project is more than 70 per-cent complete and will open in early 2015.

“The progress on the 95 Express Lanes project is avisible reminder of the congestion relief and newtravel choices that Virginians will have available tothem in less than a year,” McAuliffe stated in an April29 press release.

SpringfieldOpinion

Some people continue to assert, eitherwith their words or by simply abstain-ing, that voting just doesn’t matter.Here in Virginia, nearly every day we

prove that is incorrect.All of Virginia’s elected representatives who

are elected by the entire state are of the samepolitical party. They are all Democrats:Gov. Terry McAuliffe, Lt. Gov. RalphNortham, Attorney General Mark Her-ring and Virginia’s two U.S. Senators,Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.

None were elected by a landslide but thetrend is undeniable; the results are tangible.

Herring won his race over Mark D.Obenshain (R) by fewer than 200 votes out ofmore than 2.2 million votes cast. But that slim-mest of margins has cleared the way for a newapproach on many issues, especially after theprevious four years of Gov. Bob McDonnell andAttorney General Ken Cuccinelli.

In January, Herring announced his officewould support legal arguments that Virginia’s

ban on same sex marriage is unconstitutional.Judge Arenda Wright Allen on Valentine’s Dayoverturned that ban, and on Tuesday, May 13,the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Rich-mond begins the process that should result insame sex couples being able to marry in Vir-ginia.

In April, Herring advised that Virginia stu-dents who are lawfully present in the UnitedStates under the Federal Deferred Action forChildhood Arrivals (DACA) program qualify forin-state tuition, provided they meet Virginia’s

domicile requirements.This week, Gov. McAuliffe began ad-

ministrative processes to blunt the ef-fects of restrictive regulations placed

on women’s health centers that provide abor-tion, that would essentially have forced mostto close by applying onerous standards in-tended for hospitals.

“I am concerned that the extreme and puni-tive regulations adopted last year jeopardizethe ability of most women’s health centers tokeep their doors open and place in jeopardythe health and reproductive rights of Virginiawomen,” McAuliffe said. He also began theprocess of changing the makeup of the Boardof Health via appointments, including return-

ing James Edmondson of McLean to the board.In the meantime, the gerrymandering of dis-

trict lines for members of the General Assem-bly maintains the conservative, Republicansuper majority there.

Those members of the House of Delegatesin particular seem prepared to cut off theirnoses to spite their faces, to do almost any-thing to deny health care to more than 200,000very poor Virginians who could be covered byexpanding Medicaid under the Affordable CareAct. Not only would this be fully covered byFederal funds for the first years and covered90 percent thereafter, but it would bring enor-mous economic benefits to Virginia. McAuliffeis correct to look for ways to expand Medicaidadministratively, bypassing the General Assem-bly. It has been done elsewhere.

“This is not just a health issue — it’s an eco-nomic issue,” McAuliffe said yesterday in an-nouncing review of the regulations on women’shealth clinics, but the statement applies alsoto expanding health care in Virginia. “In orderto grow and diversify our economy, Virginianeeds to be open and welcoming to all.”

Editorial

By Joan Brady

I’m not a biological mother, an adoptivemother, a stepmother or a foster mother.But I have experienced some of the joys

and heartbreaks of motherhood.More than 12 years ago, I began as a home-

work tutor at a group home for foster kids. Itwas there that I met 7-year-old Dontae.

He would tell you that he tricked me intospending more time with him by pretendingthat he didn’t know his letters. I would tell youthat I was drawn to him in ways that I thinkmothers are drawn to their children. He neededsomeone. Maybe he needed me.

Within months, I began training to becomeDontae’s Court Appointed Special Advocate orCASA. A CASA is a volunteer who becomes theadvocate for a foster child, representing a vul-nerable child against the competing prioritiesof rotating social workers, lawyers andcaregivers.

Dontae had 23 placements in just underthree years during his time in foster care. Witha lack of stability and security, it was no won-der that his behavior was out of control. Hisanger was often frightening and sometimes putus both in danger

I quickly learned that he needed consistencyand boundaries, but most of all, he neededunconditional, unwavering support.

My friends’ kids were much younger thanDontae and social services and court appointedtherapists didn’t offer any meaningful insightsor strategies. I operated on instinct, whichsometimes served me well, but often did not.

I told Dontae over and over again what myparents had told me from the time I can re-member: “You can do anything you set yourmind to.” While I might have gotten that per-

sistent and caring motivational support right,there was so much I was getting wrong.

Fortunately, in my second year with Dontae.I met a talented therapist with a young child.In exchange for photographs of her daughter,she promised to meet with me weekly, the dayafter I saw Dontae.

Each week, I reported on our most recentvisit. She would carefully explain where andwhy my instincts had betrayed me and sentme back out to do better the next time. Herinsights were invaluable over the years.

Dontae returned to his mother’s home afterthree years in foster care and she supported

my continuing to be part of their lives. I helpedto navigate the frustratingly complex educa-tional system and was there to encourageDontae. But at 14, Dontae was not really muchdifferent than he had been when I met him at7. He was often filled with rage. The slightestthing could set him off. And one day after bat-tering me with harsh and menacing words, heattempted to jump out of my car as I drovedown the highway.

I remember my parents threatening to leaveus, four kids at the side of the road, during aparticularly bad road trip. I knew just how theyfelt. But I didn’t leave Dontae at the side of theroad. And three years later, he started tochange.

In the past five years I have gotten to experi-ence some of the joys of parenthood; first job,raises, good grades, school dances, wonderfultrips and meals enhanced by interesting con-versations. I have also struggled with the frus-trating dilemma of trying to keep a kid on track,alternating between nagging, bribing, scream-ing, negotiating and supporting.

Dontae stayed in school well beyond whatshould have been his graduation date, cram-ming 12 years of education into just two. Andnext month he will graduate.

If you had asked me if I thought this waspossible 12 years ago, I would have quietlyshaken my head. But come June, I will beloudly cheering Dontae on at his high schoolgraduation and embarrassing him by taking toomany pictures.

No, I’m not a parent. I just act like one.

A sunny space; an uplift-ing view; a generousfootprint that includesa sizeable breakfast

zone, a food preparation island andeasy access to a large back deck.

On the surface, the kitchen ofDavid and Cindy Kunzman’s colo-nial-style home in Springfield hadeverything to recommend it. Onthe other hand: when the kidshave moved on, transforming akitchen into your everyday gath-ering place can become a personalpassion. It’s largely a matter ofthinking creatively; and findingthe right resources.

“We’d been thinking about a newkitchen almost from the day wemoved in,” said David Kunzmanwho had purchased the circa-1990sfour-bedroom home about 10 yearsago. “We didn’t move quickly,partly, because the original floorplan worked pretty well. Funda-mentally, we were developing ourwish-list, going to home shows andwaiting for the right opportunity.”

That opportunity was meetingDavid Foster at a home his firm,Foster Remodeling Solutions, hadrecently renovated. Kunzmanliked what he saw and heard.Shortly afterward, Cindy Kunzmanwas introduced to Foster’s de-signer, Mimi Lee.

“That’s when the project tookoff,” Kunzman said. “Mimi reallyhelped us shape our ideas.”

THE FIRST STEP was a thought-ful re-examination with Foster ofthe existing floor plan: what

worked and what could be im-proved upon.

The cooktop and clean-up werein the right place, the Kunzmansdecided. The food prep island —while small — was a critical leg ineffective work triangles. Thebreakfast nook was appropriatelypositioned, and there was lots ofnatural light. The main issues werein performance: more functionalstorage, some personal-use itemsbegging for custom design, and, ofcourse, ambiance.

It wasn’t just that the existinginterior was dated, or that itevoked qualities unquestionablyassociated with a suburban pro-duction house. The couple’s largergoal was finding a design style thatappropriately expressed theirevolving tastes.

“The more we talked,” Lee said,“the more we seemed to be natu-rally exploring ideas associated withtransitional-style interior design.”

Transitional style, Lee said, in-troduces traditional, often formaltouches into an open floor plan.The style objective, thus, guidedthe selection process —cultivatinga warmly textured feel appropri-ate for rooms often bathed in natu-ral light.

THE STARTING POINT, how-ever, was modifying the floor planto gain useful square footage with-out moving walls.

Deleting a pantry tucked in aninterior wall, for instance, enabledthe Foster team to pick up justenough floor space to introduce asubstantially larger food prepara-tion island, and dining counter —

which now accommodates seatingfor three. Moreover, while findingthe square footage needed for amuch larger refrigerator, a stackeddouble oven and even anAdvantium range, the makeoverstill manages to provide more us-able storage than the previouskitchen.

“This is David working somekind of magic,” Kunzman said.

“We designed deeper cabinetswith roll-out trays,” Foster said.“The cabinets and drawers are de-signed for specific items, and po-sitioned to facilitate a whole se-ries of interlinked work triangles.It’s a plan that emphasizes conve-nience and efficiency.”

Naturally, in such a world, oneexpects cabinets custom-sized forlarge pots; roll-out spice racks; aside drawer for hand towels; anda dedicated spot for the espressocoffeemaker.

But this plan also introducessuch originals as a pull-out drawerwith his-and-her iPad charging sta-tions; a slot to hold the RF Uni-versal remote; and a TV mountedso that the screen points in any di-rection desired.

Carrying integrated home enter-tainment a step further, Foster po-sitioned audio speakers above thecabinets and mounted the soundsystem in the basement.

The most personal built-in, how-ever, is the 8-foot-by8-foot-by3.5-foot wet bar on the interior wall ofthe breakfast nook. With a 40-bottle wine/beer refrigerator, aclean-up sink and an ice maker, theconsole is convenient to the break-fast table and, more importantly, tothe deck and outdoor play area justbeyond the double French doors.

“The wet bar is a real step-saver

that makes entertaining on thedeck much easier,” Kunzman said.On the interior design front, CindyKunzman made full-use of MimiLee’s talents and advice, often vis-iting Foster Remodeling’s Lortonshowroom to look at cabinets fac-ings, marble samples or ideas forflooring. What evolved was an in-terior that makes use of color-con-trasted natural materials, decora-tive elements and finish work de-tailing: a cooktop hood faced incherrywood that tapers upward to

ceiling-flush crown moulding; aGiallo Oatmeal granite surfacemounted on the food prep island’sespresso-stained cabinetry base;and a backsplash of tumbledmarble that incorporates glass tileinserts as art deco-styled accents.“You build this kind of interior onedetail at a time; that’s how youachieve distinction, “ Kunzmansaid. “But more importantly, it’ssatisfying to be in a space that socompletely expresses who you are.It’s comfortable; it feels like home.”

The custom-designed wet bar — which is positioned foreasy access to the back deck — includes a 40-bottle wine/beer refrigerator, a clean-up sink and an icemaker. Theglass-faced cabinets display David Kunzman’s collectionof beer mugs from favorite micro-breweries.

While staying within the footprint of their existing 18-year old-kitchen, Dave and Cindy Kuntzman gained sig-nificant improvements in both function and design. CindyKunzman worked closely with designer Mimi Lee atFoster Remodeling Solutions in developing a warmlytextured ambiance that combines selected hardwoods,tumbled marbles and granite.

You hear about babies be-ing born in the backseats of cars, but some-

times good ideas are, too. Sixmonths ago on the way backfrom singing at a church servicein Romney, W. Va., a small groupof vocalists and musicians thathad formerly sung together de-cided that the there was simplytoo much harmony betweenthem to let it go. With that, TheNetcasters were reborn.

The ecumenical music groupfrom the Springfield-Burke areawas originally formed over 30years ago, but this time the ap-proach to performance has al-most followed a businessmodel. Although still comprisedof all volunteers, the group hasregistered as an LLC, purchasedits own music license, andmaintains a Facebook page thathas followers around the U.S.and even internationally.

Although the “cast” for eachperformance depends on theindividual’s availabilities, thegroup is usually comprised ofkeyboard, guitars, flutes, andelectric bass, as well as vocal-ists.

Phillip “Flip” Russell, cameacross The Netcasters by wordof mouth when the manager ofa local gas station saw his gui-tar-shaped key ring and toldhim that there was a Christian-based group that was lookingfor a bass player. He agreed tosit in on a practice to see if hewas a good fit. “From the mo-

ment [I was introduced to thegroup], I considered myself aNetcaster,” Russell said. “Divineintervention in the form of aguitar-shaped key ring set a se-ries of events in motion.”

Ether Smith, the other co-di-rector as well as arranger forthe group, regularly plays key-board, soprano sax, and bas-soon. He served for six yearsas the commander of an AirNational Guard band andplayed in the television orches-tra for a major U.S. city.

Specializing in gospel, con-temporary Christian music,American folk standards, and“songs of yesteryear,” TheNetcasters have already per-formed at the Greenspring Vil-lage and Paul Springs retire-ment communities, and the IliffNursing and RehabilitationCenter.

At the request of Rick andLibby Hillenbrand, TheNetcasters returned in earlyMay to the historic St. Stephen’sEpiscopal Church (1753) inRomney to present “An After-noon With The Netcasters” onSaturday, May 3, and then ledthe music for the worship ser-vice the following morning.Libby had played guitar withthe group for many years priorto the couple’s retirement andmove to the West Virginia foot-hills.

The Netcasters are availableto provide music for religiousservices, retirement homes, re-habilitation facilities, or othervenues. They may be contactedat [email protected].

The Connection

According to the Fairfax County 2012-2013Youth Survey, youth with fewer assets weremore likely to be depressed. These assetsinclude high integrity, extra-curricular ac-

tivities, help from parents, and more.This topic, along with ways to promote positive

health for children and youth, was discussed at thisyear’s NEXUS conference at the Virginia Hills Centeron May 9. The conference centered on ways to keepyouth mentally and physical happy and healthy.

Dr. Stuart White, a post-doctoral research fellowat the National Institute of Mental Health, was thekeynote speaker. White spoke about the knowledgeNIH is gaining regarding brain function and the neu-robiology of aggression.

The conference was dedicated to the late CliffHardison, who served as principalof West Potomac High School.

Sal Olivio, a teacher at WestPotomac High School, and stu-dents Amilcar Martinez and TanahKaisa, addressed ways they arepromoting positive mental healthat their school. Suicide preventionhas been a major topic, as well asanxiety and safe sex practices.

BECAUSE CYBER BULLYINGhas been such a major issue forteenagers, the school started aWest Potomac twitter hashtag-#WPchainreaction- to spread posi-tivity around West Potomac. Theschool also recently marked SocialMedia Awareness Week, whichOlivio said reminded students ifthey didn’t have anything nice tosay to not say it at all.

But in addition to watchingwhat is said over social media, it’s important to knowwho youth are talking to on these sites. Parents needto remain vigilant of what their children are doingon social media sites, said Ed Ryan, the gang pre-vention coordinator for Fairfax County.

Sex trafficking is a major problem in the area, Ryansaid, and social media is often used to search forpossible girls.

“Facebook is one of the number one recruitmenttools,” Ryan said.

Sex traffickers use the site to look for vulnerablegirls with low self-esteem. In a time when some teen-agers share nearly every detail of their life throughFacebook, this isn’t too hard to do. For example, teen-agers who frequently post things like “I hate my life,”and “Nobody understands me” are prime targets fortraffickers, who will message the girls with compli-ments, and attempt to draw them in.

Luckily, Fairfax County Public Schools recentlyadopted a curriculum for students in grades sixthrough twelve that provides information on sex traf-ficking and educates them on ways to stay safe.

PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION were ma-jor themes at the conference. After the incident in-volving State Sen. Creigh Deeds and his son Gus,who stabbed his father before killing himself afterhe was released from an emergency custody orderwhen a bed couldn’t be located for him within the

six hours allowed by law, some legislation was passedin Richmond to try to prevent further tragedies fromoccurring.

“It’s unfortunate that we had to have that happenin order to do anything about it,” said Del. ScottSurovell (D-44), who provided an update on legisla-tive activities related to mental health.

Following this year’s General Assembly session, lawenforcement is now required to notify CommunityServices Boards immediately when they take some-one in for mental health issues.

On April 30, Surovell said that an online bed reg-istry went live that lists all available beds in the state.

Equity was another topic at the conference. WithinFairfax County, there are pockets of inequity, and thisis being addressed through SCYPT (Successful Chil-dren and Youth Policy Team).

According to Jack Dobbyn, SCYPT co-chair andMount Vernon Representative to the Human ServicesCouncil, SCYPT works to ensure that all children aredeveloping into healthy, happy adults.

Early childhood development and education is apriority for SCYPT, Dobbyn said.

“The difference in preparation at the kindergartenlevel would blow your mind,” he said.

NEXUS is an outreach committee of the GartlanCenter for Community Mental Health’s advisoryboard, and aims to promote well-being for childrenand youth.

Keeping Youth Happy and Healthy

Stuart White, Deborah Tyler, AlexanderCase, Theresa Carhart and TeresaChapman talk about Fairfax County PublicSchools at the NEXUS forum on buildingstrong health outcomes for children andyouth on May 9 at the Virginia Hills Centerin Rose Hill.

The Connection

The motivation behind thesuccess of the West Springfield baseball team comesfrom a disappointing end to

the 2013 season.The Spartans finished with a 9-12 record

and failed to qualify for the region tourna-ment after losing to Lee, a long-strugglingprogram, 5-4 in the opening round of thePatriot District tournament. It was a toughpill to swallow for a program that won astate championship in 2010 and a North-ern Region title in 2012.

This year, the Spartans have respondedwith a 13-5 record, including 8-2 againstConference 7 opponents. West Springfieldwould clinch the top seed in the conferencetournament, which comes with a first-roundbye and an automatic region berth, by win-ning one of its final two regular-seasongames. The Spartans held a 6-3 lead oversecond-place West Potomac in the fourthinning on Tuesday when the game was sus-pended due to lightning.

“The seniors really came together thisyear and they’ve all stepped up and matureda lot,” West Springfield head coach JasonOlms said. “It’s their team. … The way theseason ended last year was frustrating foreveryone. They took it upon themselves tomake sure it didn’t happen again this year.I think we’re on the right track [but] westill have a long way to go.”

Olms said the Spartans’ pitching has beenstrong this season, led by seniors BrandonPadgett, Blake Bird, Tim Yonkers and JoeyBasse. Yonkers, a left-hander, started on themound Tuesday night. He surrendered atwo-run homer to West Potomac sophomoreJamie Sara in the first inning, and WestSpringfield allowed a run to score on abotched squeeze play in the second, but theSpartans’ lineup battled back to give Yon-

Olms said junior left fielder LouisPerez, Bird and sophomore thirdbaseman Matt Stallings have beensome of West Springfield’s top hitters,along with senior catcher MattMeinhofer.

Stallings led off the bottom of thesecond with a triple on Tuesday, anddelivered a double in the third. Birddrove in a run with a sacrifice fly inthe second, Perez delivered an RBIsingle in the third and Basse camethrough with a two-out, two-runsingle on a 0-2 pitch in the third.

The Spartans and Wolverines hopedto finish the contest on Wednesday,after The Connection’s deadline. WestSpringfield will conclude the regularseason with a road game againstWoodson at 6:30 p.m. on Friday, May16. The conference tournament be-gins Monday, May 19, but the Spar-tans wouldn’t play until the semifi-nals on May 21 if they secure the No.1 seed.

How far are the Spartans capableof advancing this season?

“When we play team baseball withan unselfish approach, like we’vebeen all year long [while] having con-fidence in each other and everybodyjust does their job,” Olms said, “… thesky’s the limit.”

Spartans motivatedby season-ending lossto Lee in 2013.

West Springfield Sits Atop Conference 7 Standings

West Springfield senior Tim Yonkers started on the mound for theSpartans against West Potomac on Tuesday. West Springfield led 6-3when the game was suspended due to lightning in the fourth inning.

Brandon Padgett and the West Springfield baseball team have a chanceto enter the Conference 7 tournament as the No. 1 seed.

“The way the season endedlast year was frustratingfor everyone. They took itupon themselves to makesure it didn’t happen againthis year. I think we’re onthe right track [but] westill have a long way to go.”

kers a 6-3 lead before lighting suspendedthe game after one pitch in the fourth in-ning.

Yonkers threw a first-pitch strike to 13 of14 Wolverine batters. He surrendered fourhits, while walking one and striking out two.

Provided, however, that if the holder of the secured promissory note is the successful bidder at the sale, no cash deposit shall be required, and part of or the entire indebtedness, including interest and costs, secured by the Deed of Trust, may be set off against the purchase price.

Any defaulting purchaser shall forfeit the deposit and stand the risk and cost of resale.

Sale shall be made subject to all existing easements and re-strictive covenants as the same may lawfully affect the real es-tate. Sale is further subject to mechanic's and/or material-man's liens of record and not of record. The property will be sold subject to all conditions, covenants, restrictions, rights of redemption of federal lienholders or encumbrances, and agree-ments of record affecting the same, if any.

In the event the undersigned trustee is unable to convey to the purchaser good title, then purchaser's sole and exclusive rem-edy shall be in the refund of the deposit paid at the time of sale.

The subject property and all improvements thereon will be sold in "as is" condition without warranty of any kind. Purchaser shall be responsible for any and all building and/or zoning code violations whether of record or not of record, as well as for all unpaid and enforceable homeowners' or condominium owners' association dues and assessments, if any. Purchaser also shall be responsible for obtaining possession of the property at his/her expense. Purchaser shall assume the risk of loss and shall be responsible for any damage, vandalism, theft, destruc-tion, or the like, of or to the property occurring after the time of sale. Conveyance will be by special warranty deed. Convey-ancing, recording, transfer taxes, notary fees, examination of ti-tle, state stamps, and all other costs of conveyance are to be at the expense of purchaser. State and local taxes, public charges, and special or regular assessments, if any, shall be adjusted to the date of sale and thereafter shall be assumed by the purchaser.

Sale is subject to post-sale confirmation that the borrower did not file for protection under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code prior to the sale, as well as to post-sale confirmation and audit of the status of the loan with the loan servicer including, but not limit-ed to, determination of whether the borrower entered into any repayment agreement, reinstated or paid off the loan prior to the sale. In any such event, the sale shall be null and void, and the Purchaser’s sole remedy, in law or equity, shall be the return of his deposit without interest. Additional terms may be announced at the time of sale. This is a communication from a debt collector and any information obtained will be used for that purpose.
