t was not exactly a stampede to the polls Tuesday as voters in five western Loudoun towns headed out to make their selection to fill mayor and council seats. Voting was extremely slow in most places, apart from Purcellville, where voters swept four new representatives into office. In a stunning upset, political neophyte and eight-year town resident Kwasi Fraser handily defeated Vice Mayor Keith Melton in the bid to replace four-term Mayor Bob Lazaro, who will step down from the post June 30. Fraser got 868 votes to Melton’s 539 in the unofficial tally.

In the race for three council seats, Planning Commissioner Ben Packard was the top vote getter—topping Fraser’s count—with 901 votes, followed by Karen Jimmerson, with 841 votes, and Planning Commission Chairman Doug McCollum, with 791. Lt. Jim Rust came in fourth, with 761 votes. Fraser, originally from Guyana, made history as the county’s first elected African-American mayor. Reached shortly after his historic win, Fraser said he had not expected to win by such a wide gap. “Keith was a solid candidate; he’s been there for the past four years and I expected a slim margin,” he said. “But it was the voice of the people. I heard them

The Loudoun Board of Supervisors has also put some money behind its vocal support of the children’s museum. The board voted April 16 to develop a financial agreement that provides a $250,000 grant to the nonprofit, including a grant consisting primarily of fee waivers for the construction of the museum, with any remaining money going as a cash offset to operations in the first two years.

n a few years, children from all over Northern Virginia will be getting their hands “dirty” in Loudoun County—all in the name of science and education. The Children’s Science Center announced Tuesday afternoon it had selected the Kincora development near the Rt. 28/Rt. 7 interchange as its permanent home in Northern Virginia. The announcement was made at the nonprofit’s founders’ event in Vienna.

Plans for a children’s museum in Northern Virginia have been under development since 2005. Operations recently have been housed at the Center for Innovative Technology in Herndon while the museum’s leadership searched in eastern Loudoun and western Fairfax for a permanent home. “Loudoun and western Fairfax have the supportive community of industry, visitors and participants we were looking for,” Adalene “Nene” Spivy, executive director of the Children’s Science Center, said this week, pointing to the large number of families with young children

or the first time since the legal proceedings against him began early last year, Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling) will officially go on the record about accusations he misused his county office and staff members for political gain in a deposition later this month. Arlington Commonwealth’s Attorney Theo Stamos, who was appointed as special prosecutor in the citizen-initiated recall case, will question Delgaudio under oath during a

May 20 deposition at the Loudoun County courthouse. The deposition is closed to the public. “I’ve never interviewed Mr. Delgaudio,” Stamos told Judge Paul Sheridan in Loudoun Circuit Court Tuesday, noting that the Sterling District supervisor also was never questioned by the state investigator in the case or by members of the special grand jury convened last year to investigate the claims against him. “I’ve never asked him any questions.” In late 2012, former Delgaudio aide Donna Mateer alleged she was tasked with setting up meetings to solicit political dona-

embers of the Loudoun County School Board set out earlier this year on a relatively routine task to align its complaint process with coming changes in state code. But as they dug into the 32-page policy during a Personnel Committee meeting last week, they discovered how difficult it is for any of the system’s 9,800 employees to file a formal grievance. Committee members appeared frustrated as they thumbed through the policy last Wednesday when they learned employees have several different reporting avenues depending on the nature of the complaint— and the process to file a complaint deemed a “formal grievance,” the only avenue that can lead to action from the full School Board, is the most complex.

“All this time they thought they had filed a formal grievance. They thought they had this due process owed them only to find out it wasn’t a formal complaint. The way the process is now is very confusing for the employees and that’s very troubling.”

Jill Turgeon School Board Vice Chairman, (Blue Ridge)

So much so that the school division’s attorney said the school system has had “maybe one” in more than four years. School Board member Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) said the policy leaves it up to employees to translate “30 pages of legalese,” which discourages them from raising concerns. Bill Fox (Leesburg), who chairs the Personnel Committee, said although Personnel Services Department staff members may understand the difference between an

informal complaint and a formal grievance, most employees do not. “It must be clearly spelled out.” In a follow-up interview, School Board Vice Chairman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) said it was during last week’s committee meeting that she learned for the first time that teachers and other staff members at Loudoun Valley High School unknowingly went through the complaint process incorrectly, and the investigation into their allegations of bullying and Continued on Page 26

he Ashburn man named as a “person of interest” in three Alexandria homicides was arraigned on gun charges in Loudoun General District Court Tuesday morning. He will be back in court for a preliminary hearing June 18. The 53-year-old Charles Severance appeared only by video feed from the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, as is standard for arraignments in General District Court. However, there was a higher security presence around the courthouse in anticipation of the hearing, as well as a large contingent of media outlets. Severance was arraigned on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon-charges that allowed him to be held in Wheeling, WV, where he was arrested March 13. Prior to his arrest search warrants had been executed at his Ashburn townhouse. Severance’s attorney unsuccessfully fought extradition to Loudoun, arguing the firearms charge was only pretext to hold his client in custody while Alexandria investigators attempt to link him to their homicide cases. Severance was brought to Loudoun Monday afternoon.

he suspect accused of injuring two deputies during a larceny investigation at the Sterling Costco has been identified and is in custody. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, John Jurel Morris, 34, of Brooklyn, NY, was apprehended April 28 in New York and is being held on a fugitive of justice warrant. The charges stem from an incident during which deputies responded to the Coscto on Price Cascades Plaza around 3:45 p.m. April 19 for a report that a man was attempting to take televisions from the store. Deputies confronted the man and attempted to stop him from fleeing. The

suspect entered his vehicle, closed the driver’s side door on one deputy’s hand. A second deputy attempted to grab the suspect through his window. The suspect drove away, dragging the deputy for approximately 60 feet before hitting a patrol car. Both deputies were treated for injuries at a hospital and released shortly afterward. Detectives are working to determine if the suspect was involved in other cases in Loudoun County. Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to call Detective W. Promisel at 703-777-0475.

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a home invasion-style robbery reported in Sterling last Wednesday night. According to the report, an Ironstone Terrace resident heard a knock at the door around 9 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, and opened it to find four men with their faces covered by bandanas forcing their way in. One of the suspects brandished a firearm. The men demanded money and valuables and began ransacking the house. Three of the suspects were described as white men with the fourth suspect described as a black man. Investigators believe the robbery was targeted and could be drug-related. There is no indication of a threat to the neighborhood.

The deputy initiated a traffic stop and the vehicle initially stopped on the shoulder, but then made a U-turn and stopped on the opposite shoulder. As the deputy approached the vehicle, the driver drove away and passed the deputy. The deputy followed the vehicle, which stopped, before the driver again drove away, traveling eastbound on Evergreen Mills Road. The deputy then saw the driver throw something from the vehicle. The driver, Rex R. Bowens Jr., 36, of Frederick, MD, stopped again and was taken into custody. The discarded item—which appeared to be marijuana—was recovered. Bowens was charged with possession of narcotics with intent to distribute, reckless driving, eluding police, and driving without a license. He is held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.

“The eternal plan of God,” was the central message of keynote speaker Ron Doucette’s address at the cross-denominational National Day of Prayer event last Thursday at Town Hall. The event works to unite all individuals of religious beliefs in a common effort to promote peace and righteousness in the nation. To a gathering of 50 people gathered at noon in the Leesburg Town Council Chambers, Doucette, eastern regional director of The Seed Company, a subsidiary of Wycliffe Bible Translators, preached about God’s master plan that centers on justice and love for one’s fellow man. “God established us for sacred purposes, not so we can gain personal riches, or wear designer clothes…or to have so much that we don’t need him and can go on our own without him.” Doucette talked of how he has seen the power of prayer and worship in action and said that, when applied to everyday life, it can create miracles. “God’s word changes everything,” he said. Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) opened the service with an invocation, which he read in Hebrew and English. Mayor Kristen Umstattd presented the town’s proclamation, recognizing May 1 as the National Day of Prayer, and welcomed guests. “God bless you all for being here to share this with us,” she said. Community leaders each offered prayers representing one of the Seven Spheres of Influence—business, entertainment, family, government, education and media. The strategy is meant to encourage faith and prayer in others by relating them to the main interests of American society. Among the others participating in the event were Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce Chairman Scott Hamberger, Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), Del. Randy Minchew (R-10), Del. David Ramadan (R-87), and Commissioner of the Revenue Bob Wertz.

Martinez said, adding that he will strive to keep Leesburg one of the best places to live in the country. Listing his three main areas of focus as improvements to downtown Leesburg, growth and transportation Martinez said, “We need to keep Richmond’s attention focused on our needs. We also need to keep traffic flowing around Leesburg and not through it.” Martinez served as vice mayor from 2004 to 2006. He is the co-founder of the Boys and Girls Club of Loudoun County and Hispanic advocacy group, La Voz. He plans to kick off his campaign formally in late May.

s part of a community effort to combat obesity, Saturday the Leesburg Farmers Market began accepting Supplemental Nutritious Assistance Program, or SNAP, dollars for purchases of fresh produce. The inaugural event did not draw in any SNAP participants, which has organizers working to get the word out. With the help of area nonprofits, governmental and private organizations Dr. Janine Rethy, founder of the Loudoun Pediatric Obesity Coalition, initiated the program that will enable low-income families to buy locally grown, fresh fruits and vegetables using government allocated funds. “We have models around the country where it has been shown that having access to healthy foods and vegetables in the farmers market improves health of families and also improves the local economy and our local growers,” Rethy said. The Leesburg market is the first in Loudoun to accept SNAP dollars, formerly known as Food Stamps. Consumers using SNAP EBT cards at the market also will receive Double Dollars. For every $10 spent at the market, SNAP customers will get an additional $10 toward their purchase. The Northern Virginia chapter of healthy food resource Buy Fresh Buy Local, sponsored by Inova Health Systems, is contributing $1,500 for that effort and fundraising efforts are ongoing to help sustain the matching program.

“[Matching funds] offset some of the costs of the fruits and vegetables for families and it’s an added incentive for them to try something new,” Rethy said. “There is a very broad group of community partners who are invested in this program being successful.” Amanda Huffman, the resource coordinator and healthy living advocate for the Loudoun County Health Department, is spearheading the publicity for the program. She is in talks with the county’s Community Services Board to help arrange transportation from the Fields of Leesburg apartments complex to the market. To reach out to the Hispanic population, which makes up a large percent of the low-income families in Loudoun, Huffman plans to visit area Spanish speaking churches to talk about the opportunities and “gain some credibility.” “I think the problem right now is that, sure it sounds like a nice program, but I think there’s a lot of suspicion because when I was talking to some of the moms at the Health Day at the Fields of Leesburg they weren’t quite bought in yet,” Huffman said. “They want to see that it works and that some of their friends actually got a $10 match with no strings attached.” Farmers’ market organizers also are working to find fun ways to integrate children by offering a variety of games and prizes. “The thing that we all love and that the parents will love, especially if you have toddlers, is that it doesn’t cost a lot of money,” Hoffman said. Purcellville Mayor Bob Lazaro, as part of his day job with Inova Health Systems, led the pilot project through Inova. He said the program works to provide access to nutrition while promoting healthy living to individuals of every social and economic status. “If you eat healthy,

you’ll be healthy, and you either pay the farmer or pay the doctor,” he said. Working to expand the program’s reach, Lazaro has offered to help Huffman and Chris Slagle, Family Services Benefit program manager for the Loudoun County Health Department, prepare literature on the program in Spanish and English to send to all SNAP EBT users in the county. Currently, there are 9,651 people in Loudoun County receiving food stamps. That equates to $1.1 million a month in federal spending. “Why shouldn’t the local farmer be able to capture some of that funding as well,” Lazaro said. “There’s a sustainability aspect to it and an economic development aspect as well.” Lazaro refutes critics who claim healthy eating is too expensive. “No, there are ways of eating healthy that are low priced. It’s about portion control and understanding what you’re eating.” The Loudoun County Health Council, Loudoun Valley Home Grown Markets Cooperative, the Loudoun County Health Department, the Loudoun County Community Services Board, and the Loudoun County Junior League are among the organizations instrumental in launching the program. SNAP guidelines may not permit customers to purchase all items sold at the market. For a list of eligible products go to www.easyaccess. virginia.gov, keyword: food stamps benefits. Donations for the project may be made at www.gofundme.com/snapleesburgmarket.

he Leadership Loudoun Class of 2014 spent Saturday working on the final Habitat for Humanity home being built in the five-home subdivision in St. Louis, named for Erin Peterson, who was killed during the 2007 shooting at Virginia Tech. The Leadership Loudoun team also unveiled a plaque at the entrance to the community, which will be part of a larger memorial to the Virginia Tech student. Two groups in the Leadership Loudoun Class of 2014 have been looking at the issues of affordable housing and volunteerism and through that work learned of the opportunity to help Habitat with the final home build and to provide a lasting memorial at the community. Many members of Peterson’s family live in Loudoun, including her paternal grandfather, Vernon Peterson, whose home is adjacent to the community that bears his granddaughter’s name. Erin’s mother, Celeste Peterson, helped the Leadership Loudoun team with the unveiling of the plaque, which bears a quote from her to her daughter: “Our Dewdrop from Heaven, you changed the world, in life and death.” In addition to the plaque, a memorial tree was planted and a permanent bench will be installed when the Habitat work is complete. “Our goal is to honor the memory of Erin Peterson in a visual way,” team member Ginia Hildreth said in a statement announcing the memorial. “The community is a testament to her

As part of the overhaul of Loudoun’s government and school system financial systems, the county will be implementing new procurement programs later this month. For both Loudoun County Public Schools and county government departments, the county will begin using Oracle’s “iSupplier” and “Sourcing” programs for procurement. In preparation for the implementation, bidding companies currently registered with the Loudoun County government and the school system will have to re-register to receive notices for solicitations and bid opportunities. In mid-May, an email that includes a link and instructions on the registration process will be sent from the county government and schools to all registered bidders. Once the registration is approved, bidders will have self-service ability to maintain their registration and to view purchase orders and payments. The new program allows staff members to develop and publish solicitations. Related notices will be sent to the suppliers registered for the commodity code chosen on the solicitation. Vendors will have the ability to view solicitations and respond online with an electronic bid. Once the solicitation is awarded, the suppliers who bid will receive notice of the award. “My staff and I are really excited about the opportunity to take our division to the next level of procurement excellence with the technology of Oracle’s iSupplier and Sourcing modules,” Loudoun County Purchasing Agent Donald Legg said in a statement. The county government anticipates issuing the first solicitation through the new system in early June. For more information regarding the implementation, go to www.loudoun.gov/procurement or www.lcps.org/page/1605. Questions should be directed to 703-7770403 or procurement@loudoun.gov for the Loudoun County Government and 571-252-1270 or lcpspurchase@lcps.org for LCPS.

VDOT and Shirley Contracting will hold a pre-construction meeting for planned upgrades to Rt. 7 west of Leesburg at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 15, at Loudoun County High School in Leesburg. Construction is expected to begin this month on a new westbound “climbing lane” and roundabouts at the Rt. 9 interchange at Clarkes Gap. The new lane is designed to reduce afternoon rush hour congestion, while the interchange improvements should help with morning traffic flow. The project also includes reconfigured medians with barrierseparated left-turn lanes, and an extension of Fort Johnston Road that will connect Alysheba Drive to Leeland Orchard Road. During the meeting, residents will get an overview of the project and the construc-

Parking on the second, third and fourth floors of the garage are limited to government center employees, also in accordance with marked spaces, some of which are designated for specific employees and carpool participants. Beginning in mid-May, county employees who park in the garage will be issued a rear window decal for their vehicles. When enforcement begins in early June, vehicles without decals parked on the second, third or fourth level of the garage will be ticketed. If a vehicle with an employee decal is parked in a visitor spot on the first floor, it also will be ticketed. Those who park in the garage but are not doing business at the government center also will be subject to tickets.

in Loudoun to build up revenue. The service district real estate surtax was created to help pay Loudoun’s share of the Silver Line construction and for the ongoing costs of providing the Metrorail service at those stations, with a maximum rate of 20 cents per $100 of assessed value. “This is good news for our commuters and taxpayers,” County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said in a statement. “This will help finance the project with the least cost to Loudoun taxpayers and will help keep rates down on the Dulles Toll Road.” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said the approval of the loan means the county will have to issue less debt to pay for the Silver Line project. “And we won’t have to start paying back [the TIFIA loan] until five years after Metro

arrives. Let’s say Metro arrives in early 2019, we won’t have to start paying back until 2024,” he said Friday. That means more time for revenue from the tax districts to accumulate revenue. Tax collections in the districts started in January 2013, and since July 2013 the revenue has reached about $5.8 million. That amount is less than projected by the county, Buona said, but not by much, and that is not indicative of the future. “I think you’re going to see it kick in more and more the closer Metro gets,” he said. During its monthly meeting in April, the MWAA board of directors authorized issuance of $450 million Dulles Toll Road Revenue Refunding Bonds. With the approval of the TIFIA loan and this round of bonds, which are guaranteed by a pledge of future revenue generated by tolls on the Dulles Toll Road, the entire portion of the Dulles Toll Road share of the Silver Line Project will be financed. n

as people have begun to use other forms of electronic bill payment, the program has still handled a large number of these cases. There were more than 3,600 bad checks issued since the program began. Similar to other diversion programs, the Check Enforcement Program offers bad check writers an opportunity to avoid prosecution by providing full restitution and payment of a victim fee to cover costs incurred as a result of the bad check. A small administrative fee also is assessed to ensure there is no expense to victims, the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office or the taxpayers. “Most citizens would be very surprised to learn the number of bad check cases that were being referred to law enforcement,” Plowman stated. “These resources can be more properly directed toward more serious crimes that involve personal safety.” To learn more, contact Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Ryan Perry at 703-7770242. n

his year marks the eighth anniversary of Loudoun County’s Check Enforcement Program, which, to date, has recovered more than $283,000 in restitution and fees for victims of bad check writing. “We continue to receive positive feedback from the business community on this Program and our expectations are being met consistently each year,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman said in a statement. Plowman initiated the program in February 2006. The Check Enforcement Program gives merchants and other victims a no-cost way to recover money lost when people use bad checks, while also training businesses to protect themselves against this type of fraud. The program also incorporates an educational component, which works to keep offenders from passing bad checks in the future. It deals only with bad checks as a result of insufficient funds in an account, written from a closed account or where no account exists. Check forgeries, stolen checks or counterfeit checks are not accepted into the program and should be referred to law enforcement immediately. “All cases are screened first to make sure that they are an appropriate match for the program,” Plowman stated. “The deliberate thieves and those with significant and lengthy criminal histories still go to court.” According to Plowman, there are several hundred merchants across Loudoun who participate in the program. While the number of bad checks passed each year has leveled off

ive men donning bright green shirts that read “Sam’s Ride for Peace” stopped into the Leesburg Beer Company Friday. The group, led by 88-year-old World War II vet Samuel Winstead, was headed to Washington, DC, on a Ride for Peace bicycle mission that began April 27 in North Carolina. The protest ride, which calls for U.S. leaders to put an end to all wars, is Winstead’s third peace ride. His first, in 2012, was prompted by a conversation with his grandson, who at the time was stationed in Iraq. “He said ‘Granddad, I don’t know why we’re over here, they don’t want us here, and we’re just tearing this country apart,’” Winstead recalled. “This was entirely different than the war we fought…I felt like I had to do something to call attention to what we were doing.” Sam’s Ride for Peace is sponsored by Veterans for Peace, the national organization that works to seek justice for veterans and increase public awareness about the impacts of war. The group set out on the expedition from Raleigh, making stops in Henderson, NC, Blackstone, Gum Spring, Culpeper, Middleburg and Leesburg before finishing up at Lafayette Park in Washington, DC, Saturday, May 3. There, they held a Rally for Peace joined by members of the Korea Peace Campaign, and National President of Veterans for Peace Patrick McCann. “It was more of an intimate rally, but people came up to ask us who we are and what

we are about and why we were there,” John Heuer, driver of the lead car, said. After spending Monday morning on Capitol Hill, the riders visited Reps. David Price (D-NC), G.K Butterfield (D-NC) and Walter Jones (R-NC) to share their message. “I want to encourage them to keep on track and not go back to poking a gun in everybody’s face,” Winstead, who is scheduled to meet with Rep. Howard Coble (R-NC) Wednesday, said. To get in shape for the 350-mile trip Winstead worked out daily throughout the year and rode up to 50 miles a day during the month leading up to his ride. Volunteer riders joined the group along their voyage including Winstead’s daughter, grandson and great-grandson Aiden Janke, 17, who was still with the group when they arrived in Leesburg. Heavy rains last week cost the group two days of riding. But Winstead didn’t feel as though they had lost anything. “It shows how strong we all are and that we’re doing this to send a message,” he said. Rider and friend, George Ripley, said Winstead’s cause forges a network of communities sharing a common goal. “Imagine a bike ride up from Raleigh, Harrisburg, Princeton all converging on Washington, DC,” he said. “And as they pass through the various communities they meet the local activists for peace and then you create a network surrounding the city of people who work for peace.” H. Leedom Lefferts Jr., a member of Veterans for Peace who joined the group this year, drove the chase truck during the ride. n

the year’s progress. The Cornwall emergency room operations have exceeded all expectations “for us and, I think, for our patients,” Puccio said. There are 20 physicians who rotate between the two emergency facilities, both of which treat the same medical problems and provide service to all ages—newborns to the elderly, Puccio said. Statistics for the Cornwall campus show that of those 16,038 patients treated through April 30, 3,127 were 17 years old or younger. Symptoms and diagnoses included strokes, chest pains, motor vehicle accidents, abdominal pains, respiratory arrest, influenza, orthopedic injuries, lacerations and fever. Patients are treated by a nursing staff that boasts an average of more than 15 years’ experience. The unit contains 19 private rooms, of which 14 are examination rooms, four are for mental health patients and one is a gynecology room. The unit also contains a two-bay trauma room, two-bed triage area, a new and expanded lab, enhancements to diagnostic imaging services, including an additional CT scanner, a medication room and nourishment room. In 2012, the Inova Loudoun Hospital Foundation received a $1.5 million gift from Mike and Teresa Wheeler for the Cornwall Cares Campaign, to name the new emergency department at the Cornwall campus in downtown Leesburg in honor of Teresa’s parents, Richard and Joann Lynch. The Wheelers also challenged the community to contribute gifts up to $500,000—which they would match dollar for dollar. That match has been met successfully. n

pressure to inflate grades by the school administration may be held up because of a technicality in how the complaints were reported. More than a dozen Loudoun Valley employees filed complaints against administrators at the high school within the past 18 months and learned too late their complaints were not considered formal grievances. The complaints accused Principal Sue Ross of bullying, verbal harassment and pressure to change grades, according to documents obtained from the Loudoun Education Association and Loudoun Valley employees by Leesburg Today. But Stephen DeVita, school division counsel, stated in an email Monday that no “formal grievance has been filed under School Board Policy 7-4, Procedure for Adjusting Grievances, relative to Loudoun Valley High School administrators.” “All this time they thought they had filed a formal grievance,” Turgeon said last week after

here are least four different school division policies that address the complaint process, including one that is specific to sexual harassment, another for discrimination based on disability, another on general unfairness, and then there is Policy 7-4 Procedure for Adjusting Grievance—which the Personnel Committee has under the microscope—and each calls for varying amounts of follow up from school system administrators and/or the School Board. As it sits now, the Procedure for Adjusting Grievances policy states it is “mandatory” for teachers to first bring their grievance to their immediate supervisor, which in many cases is

the school principal. If the issue is not resolved to the satisfaction of the teacher, he or she may present the grievance through a written form “within 15 business days following the event giving rise to the grievance.” If the issue is not resolved to the teacher’s satisfaction after a meeting between the teacher and the principal, the teacher may file a written notice of appeal with the division superintendent. That is followed by a meeting between the teacher and superintendent, where both can

present witnesses and be accompanied by legal counsel. If the issue is still not resolved to the teacher’s satisfaction, he or she may request a decision by the full School Board, and “parties shall produce evidence,” according to the policy. For Loudoun Valley employees who thought they’d filed a formal grievance, the issue that brought rise to some of their initial concerns now is well beyond the 15-day window allowed to file a formal grievance. The policy states if the grievance is “not, without just cause, filed within the specified time, the grievance will be barred.” “If they had filed a formal grievance, they would have gotten this process” with the concerns going to the full board, Turgeon said. “But instead it stopped at the superintendent, until I came with concerns.” Fox and Turgeon told DeVita at last week’s committee meeting that the process to address grievance issues does not align with the policy, and they have not had a formal employee grievance come before the full board in three years. “I’ve been involved in some grievances and I don’t recognize this procedure,” Turgeon said. At that, Fox asked how many formal grievances the school system has received. “It’s got to be a substantial number with almost 10,000 employees.” DeVita said, “we’ve had maybe one in the [four years] I’ve been here” that’s come to the full board for a hearing. “We try to work out compromises,” he said. Kimberly Hough, assistant superintendent of Personnel Services, added that her office tries to resolve complaints before they get to the board. But Anne Reid, a sign language interpreter with the school division, said her and many other current and former Loudoun Valley employees’ complaints have not been resolved. Reid called the complaint process impossible to follow. She filed a complaint against three administrators at Loudoun Valley High School, claiming they bullied and harassed her after she would not sign off on state standardized tests she believed had falsified answers. She first reported the situation to the director of high school instruction, who told her to explain the situation in an email and send it to the assisContinued on Next Page

tant superintendent of the Personnel Services Department, who at the time was Margaret Huckaby. She sent the email April 30, 2013. When she called a week later for a status report, she was told she had not followed the proper channels to file a formal complaint. “I just assumed by my sending the email and verbally telling them this is a formal complaint, that it counted,” she said. Commenting on the other employees who have complained about the working concerns at Loudoun Valley, she said, “All these people think they filed a formal complaint, and now [Superintendent] Hatrick can say we haven’t gotten any complaints. It’s a joke.” Reid tried again, and in a letter dated June 21, 2013, Huckaby stated, “the Department of Personnel Services received your formal complaint alleging bullying and harassment.” But Reid said her complaint never came before the full board, with an opportunity for her to present witnesses or evidence, as the formal grievance policy allows. Now almost a year later, DeVita said no “formal grievances” have been filed relative to Loudoun Valley administrators. The operative word is “complaint” versus “grievance.” What Reid and other Loudoun Valley employees who thought they filed formal grievances did wrong has not been made clear.

ast August, the superintendent’s office hired an attorney to conduct an investigation into the allegations at Loudoun Valley High School, and a second attorney was hired earlier this year to review the initial investigation. The board has not taken a vote on the matter, and no information has been shared with the public by school system senior staff about the status of the investigation. Turgeon said the School Board has met with Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick every month over the past six months on the issue, and has been told the investigation has been completed. “I know there’s a will on the board as a whole to take further action, but we’ve asked more questions about the process, about what types of actions can be taken moving forward, not just for this situation but when other situations like this come up,” she said. The superintendent’s office is expected to provide more information within the next two weeks, she added. While the complaints from Loudoun Valley teachers and staff were not directly brought up during last week’s Personnel Committee meeting, School Board members asked Hough and DeVita to streamline the policy and come up with some sort of tool to clearly explain the complaint process. “So everybody knows exactly what they need to do if they have a complaint and know what their expectations should be, and they don’t have to be an attorney to figure that out,” Fox said. Hough, who has been with the Loudoun school division for about 18 months, agreed that the complaint process and the policy need to be improved, saying, “We need to hear employees’ feedback.” She told board members the new superintendent, Eric Williams, who begins in July, might also have suggestions on how to improve the policy. The committee voted to first send the grievance policy to the full board to get all of the board members’ input, before bringing it back to committee to work on additional changes. n

2014 will be the year that youth football came to Lovettsville, according to Mayor Bob Zoldos. After years of efforts to bring the sport to Lovettsville, Upper Loudoun Youth Football League plans to establish a flag football team in town. Practices would be held in Lovettsville, but games would be played Friday nights at Fireman’s Field in Purcellville. Zoldos said the ULYFL wants to place football teams in the northern part of the county to allow more kids to participate in the sport. They would learn the basics through flag football, the mayor said,

noted he coached several years in that program and found it a very effective way to introduce the sport to youngsters. The program is designed for ages 5 and 6. Seven-year-old players are encouraged to play in the D League (developmental tackle league) but will be selected on a case-by-case basis by the league.

ast week marked the start of the annual open burning ban in all areas of Loudoun County. The restriction is in effect through Sept. 30. During this period the only allowable open burning, without prior approval from the Fire Marshal’s Office, is campfires. However, campfires can be no larger than 3-feet-by-2feet and must be used for cooking purposes. In addition, campfires can be placed no closer than 50 feet from a structure. Portable fire pits and chimneys are not considered open burning if they are operated within the manufacturer’s specifications. Year round, open burning, including campfires, is prohibited within the town limits of Leesburg, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Purcellville, Round Hill and neighborhood subdivisions throughout the county. Open burning now prohibited includes: • open-air burning of leaves and tree, brush, yard and garden trimmings generated onsite; • open-air fires used for agricultural clearing of a field or fencerow from materials generated on site; • bonfires consisting of seasoned wood no more than 5-feet-by-5-feet; and • warming barrels at a construction site. In addition to this prohibition, the Loudoun County Fire Marshal may impose regulations at any time based upon complaint, atmospheric or other environmental circumstances to restrict or extinguish any fire that is otherwise permitted according to these guidelines. Violations of the open burning restrictions are a Class 1 misdemeanor. In addition, the responsible party may be held liable for all damages and the costs of firefighting operations. Questions about the open burning ban should be directed to the Fire Marshal’s Office at 703-737-8600 during normal business hours. Information also may be found online at www. loudoun.gov/firemarshal. n

and recommended amendments to the Virginia State Code to provide more options to address such concerns in the future. Following the grand jury report, the all-Republican Board of Supervisors voted to formally censure Delgaudio, strip him of his committee assignments and take control of his office budget. In January, a group of residents acting under the name Sterling Deserves Better filed a recall petition with 686 signatures seeking to have the court remove Delgaudio from office. Stamos, who oversaw the special grand jury, was appointed to the case after the Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney Office was recused from the case. Loudoun’s Circuit Court judges also recused themselves, leading the Virginia Supreme Court to appoint Sheridan to preside over the case. In addition to Delgaudio’s deposition by Stamos, Mateer will be deposed by Delgaudio’s defense attorney Charles King. That deposition is set to take place at 10 a.m. Tuesday, May 13, at the Loudoun County courthouse. It is also closed to the public. Former county supervisors Stevens Miller, who is representing Mateer in the matter, expressed concern to Sheridan that his client feels like “she is on her own,” and that efforts will not be made by Stamos to get proof of her accusations against Delgaudio. Partly, Miller told the court, that feeling comes from Stamos’ alleged reluctance to take the case. “Right now, I can’t tell Donna Mateer that either attorney is on her side,” Miller said. He alleged that there are documents that would support Mateer’s claims that have not been sought through subpoena, and that since Mateer is only a witness to the case, he does not have the ability to subpoena them himself. Sheridan said he is welcome to work with Stamos

on how best to subpoena for those documents, and Miller could bring a motion to the court if Stamos refuses. However, it did not appear that would be necessary. “I am happy to have any aid from [Miller] to pursue this matter,” Stamos said, noting she has not had any requests for subpoenas from him, but that she was “all ears” to what Miller had to share with her. Likewise, King even said he would be interested to hear from Miller on what additional documentation could be subpoenaed as evidence. King said that responses to subpoenas he issued on the three leaders of the Sterling Deserves Better group as supporting documentation to their claim did not bring him any new information. “If something out there is relevant, I need to see it,” King said. The case will be back before the court at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 24, for a status hearing. At that time, Sheridan asked the attorneys to be prepared to give information about evidence, witnesses and details for a formal hearing of the case. n

Taylorstown Activists Push To Preserve Catoctin Creek Bridge Margaret Morton

embers of the Taylorstown Community Association gathered Sunday evening to hear a stirring tale of an old, and successful, neighborhood preservation battle even as they gear up for another. The meeting was hosted by Chuck McDonald, owner of Birchwood Arboretum in Taylorstown, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the founding of the Catoctin Valley Defense Alliance that prevented the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from damming the creek north of Taylorstown near its mouth on the Potomac River. The corps’ intent was to create a

five-mile long impoundment holding 14 billion gallons of water to be released in time of drought downriver for use by Fairfax County and Washington, DC. The new battle is to save the iron Pratt truss bridge that carries traffic over the creek between Taylorstown and Waterford on Featherbed Lane. A number of community groups— including the TCA, the Catoctin Creek Scenic River Advisory Committee and the Piedmont Environmental Council—are lining up to oppose a new Virginia Department of Transportation proposal to replace it with a two-lane concrete bridge. It was only two months ago that VDOT welcomed suggestions to name the truss bridge in memory of the late John G. Lewis, one of Loudoun’s earliest historians to seek out and identify the county’s historic resources. Lewis also connects the two fights, as he was instrumental in getting the north fork of Catoctin Creek incorporated to the State Scenic River system and in establishing the Taylorstown Historic District and placing it on the national and state Registers of Historic Places as part of the 1974 action.

a number of cracks in the supporting I-beams previously, but nine new ones have been detected. Higgins said he urged retention of the bridge—the last truss bridge left in the county—at which VDOT representatives first told him they would hold a stakeholders meeting to discuss options, then said the decision had been made to replace it. When Higgins protested he had heard nothing of that decision, he was told that was a premature announcement by “someone who was not in the know,” and a notice for a stakeholders meeting would be sent out. The Catoctin District supervisor said he supports a weight limit, which VDOT reportedly has said will occur, lowered to 3 tons, along with the installation of beams to keep large trucks off the bridge. David Nelson, who is spearheading the fight to preserve the bridge, has sought the assistance of local and state politicians, established webpages and written to VDOT protesting its decision, as have a number of other organizations. The Catoctin Preservation Fund has been set up to gather donations for creek

corridor projects. Reviewing the history of the bridge, Nelson noted there was a village at that location on Featherbed Lane in the mid-18th century called “Loyalty,” after which the present road is named. Calling the bridge “very rare,” Nelson noted it was one of eight to be manufactured by the Variety Iron Works Company and is “the only truss bridge in the county,” as well as the longest trestle bridge in Virginia, at 160 feet. The bridge was built to carry Rt. 7

traffic over Goose Creek, but was moved to its current location in the 1930s. Phil Ehrenkranz, a leader of the dam fight, Sunday offered this advice to those pressing to preserve the bridge: “In grass roots efforts like this one, it is not possible to overreact or act too soon.” “Regular people have the power, needing only the will and determination to exercise it,” he added. n

1974 Dam Opponent Finds Similarities In Today’s Fight

The association hopes to be as successful in saving the bridge as it was in blocking the dam 40 years ago. Sunday, members heard an update on the status of the bridge from Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin), whose office helped to get the bridge named in Lewis’ honor. Following VDOT’s agreement on that issue, Higgins said he got word the agency wanted to meet with him. “Oh, and by the way, the bridge is not safe. There are a number of cracks,” he was told. Earlier repairs involving the use of galvanized steel have deteriorated and VDOT is faced with trying to stabilize the span or build a new one and destroy the old bridge—the latter an option Higgins said he opposes. Higgins said he was told there had been

he two-year 1974 “David and Goliath” fight against the U.S. and Army Corps and the Fairfax County Water Authority to prevent the dam was waged by a number of canny Taylorstown activists, led by lawyers Phil Ehrenkranz and the late Anna Hedrick. Sunday night, Ehrenkranz gave an overview of how that battle of 40 years ago was won and lessons that can be applied to the present bridge situation. Ehrenkranz ticked off a number of crucial points: garnering support through public opinion; fundraising, a horse show, a house tour and a 10-mile kids’ anti-dam Walk-a-

Thon; obtaining allies, in and out of government—including the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments that passed a resolution opposing the dam—the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce and environmental and preservation groups, including the nearby Waterford Foundation, where that village also was threatened. Both the Loudoun business community’s support and that of MWCOG were huge, Ehrankranz said. At a meeting of the Taylorstown Community Association Sunday night, several of “the kids” of yesterday were on hand to celebrate their march of 40 years ago, cheerfully toting signs saying “don’t dam Loudoun.”

“King” of fundraising Ray Cheronis and his wife Ruth Cheronis were also on hand, reliving the memories of 1974. That support helped the group achieve three goals, Ehrenkranz said: get Catoctin Creek admitted into the Virginia Scenic River System—a task aided by then-State Sen. Charles L. Waddell; establish a historic district and get it listed on the state and national registers; and, most importantly, change the eminent domain law in Virginia, so that the Fairfax County Water Authority’s power of eminent domain was not absolute in the state and the U.S. Army Corps was “put on notice to tread lightly.”

The icing on the cake came in the early 1980s when Dan Scheer of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin published a study stating Washington, DC, could have a reliable water supply by interconnecting existing reservoirs. “Game over,” Ehrenkranz said. In 1983, the Army Corps “waved the white flag,” evidently glad to no longer be pestered by the Catoctin Valley Defense Alliance, which the Army Corps reportedly privately called “the buzz saw in Taylorstown,” a role that looks likely to be relished as much today as in 1974. n

The artwork had been erected outside the Purcellville Train Station by Visit Loudoun a year ago as one of 16 locations around the state to serve as focal points of a Virginia Tourism Corporation social media campaign to express the message that “love is at the heart of every Virginia vacation.” Visitors were encouraged to take photographs with the LOVEwork and share them on sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

he Town of Lovettsville has added another laurel to its crown for the iconic Walker Pavilion on the Town Green. The structure, by Fuog InterBuild in Purcellville, won the National Frame Building Association’s Best Post Frame construction for 2013. The building was recognized by the NFBA in the Experts Division for Commercial Buildings under 5,000 square feet in size. Fuog InterBuild President John Fuog and Vice President of Operations Tom Miller informed the Town Council of the honor. The pavilion, which was named in honor of retired mayor Elaine Walker, was designed by Fuog Interbuild in partnership with the town, with advice from the Town Parks Committee and the help of architect Clint Good. The multi-functional pavilion was designed to be a focal point of the Town Green, using a simple shape that would blend with the surrounding residential community. The pavilion incorporates German features to reflect the town’s heritage as “The German Settlement.” Care was taken to ensure that all sides of the pavilion were attractive to be sensitive to concerns of residents whose homes face the Town Green. Both town and builder were excited about receiving the national award. “It is a very big deal and we are thrilled to have a centerpiece of our Town be recognized

again,” Mayor Bob Zoldos said in a statement. The mayor also noted the building received a Community Appearance award from the Alliance of Northern Virginia for the quality of its architecture. “This is a huge deal,” Fuog said this week. “We are very proud of this award,” he added, noting in 2011 the firm received the overall national award from the NFBA for a project at St. Bride’s Farm in Delaplane. Fuog said the partnership with the town was fulfilling, noting its contributions were very creative. “We all worked together,” he said.

Melton, a quiet but popular member of council, said of his loss, “I was honored and humble to have served the citizens of Purcellville for the last four years.” Melton congratulated all those who vied for political office, including the mayor-elect, for their hard-won victories. “We all must move forward for the betterment of the community that we call home,” he said. There had been some unpleasant things said and signs erected against Melton, but he said “negatives were not the right thing for Purcellville, so we didn’t do it.” On the changing of the guard, Lazaro said, “I congratulate winners and the others, Keith and Jim, for putting themselves out there.

Running successfully for a repeat term on council were incumbents Janet Heston, 42 votes; Frederick Lyne, 36 votes; and Christopher Prack, 27 votes—the latter two as write-in candidates.

There was little activity at the Round Hill Center polling booth all day, with one election officer quipping that the ballot-reading machines all functioned perfectly, because “They haven’t been used enough.”

“fresh approach” he promised to bring to town government won approval from voters. Despite the achievements over the past decade of Lazaro’s leadership—environmental awards and conservation easements, particularly of the 1,300-acre town reservoir, restoration and preservation of the town’s historic resources, keeping town property taxes either equalized or lowered over the past seven years and obtaining a Triple-A bond rating—the call for change won support. Melton was dubbed “Lazaro’s rubber stamp,” and voters’ evidently heeded Fraser’s calls for more transparency, open government, possible privatization or sale of the town’s Basham Simms Wastewater Treatment Plant and reduction or elimination of the town’s 5-cent meals tax.

Voting at the Middleburg Town Office featured an uncontested race for Mayor Betsy Allen Davis, who won with 85 votes. There were six candidates, including two write-ins, for four council seats—Kevin Hazard was the top votegetter with 71, while Vice Mayor Darlene Kirk and council members Mark Snyder tied with 61 votes and write-in candidate Erik Scheps came in fourth with 47 votes.

Leesburg Today/Danielle Nadler

Scouting for Bricks, a fundraiser put on by Boy Scout Troop #39, drew more than 130 vendors and 2,500 LEGO enthusiasts last weekend. The troop plans to make it an annual event.

2,500 people attended the two-day event, so the troop decided to make it an annual fundraiser. And as of Saturday, the second Scouting for Bricks was on pace to break last year’s record. “We’ve gotten a lot of traffic,” Karl Eager, assistant scout master for Troop #39, said as the first day came to a close. Noah Gleason and Kenny Reynolds, Boy

Scouts who helped organize last weekend’s event, said they felt some pressure to make this year’s Scouting for Bricks as successful as last year’s. “We wanted to make sure it went just as well, but I think it has,” Noah said. Almost every corner of Heritage High School in Leesburg had some sort of LEGO structure on display. And in the school’s caf-

eteria, LEGO fans young and old were busy designing and building structures of their own. Troop #39 plans to host a third annual Scouting for Bricks next year, which Eager said those who attended last weekend’s event sounded excited about. “I did exit interviews, and asked would you come back next year? They say, ‘absolutely.’ That’s a great sign.” n

Herring Extends In-State Tuition To Children Of Illegal Immigrants Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com ome immigrant students who were brought to the country as children can qualify for in-state tuition to Virginia colleges and universities, Attorney General Mark Herring (D) announced last

week. In a letter sent to the State Council of Higher Education in Virginia, the presidents of Virginia’s colleges and universities, and the chancellor of the Virginia Community College system, Herring advised that, under current state law, Virginia students who are lawfully present in the United States under the federal Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program qualify for in-state tuition, provided they meet Virginia’s domicile requirements. Herring concluded that state law allows these students, often called “DREAMers,”—in reference to the portion of the population who would be helped by the federal Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act first proposed in 2001, but never adopted—to qualify

for in-state tuition rates, which are often more than half the cost of out of state tuition. Many of these students “might be the valedictorian or salutatorian of their high school, but because they were brought here as children many years ago, an affordable education remains out of their reach,” Herring said in a prepared statement. “Instead of punishing and placing limits on these smart, talented, hard-working young people, Virginia should extend them an opportunity for an affordable education. It’s what the law requires, it makes economic sense for Virginia, and it’s the right thing to do.” To qualify for in-state tuition, these students will have to satisfy several requirements, including being approved for DACA status and gaining admission into a Virginia college or university. As of December 2013, about 8,100 young people in Virginia have had their DACA applications approved. Herring’s announcement gained mixed reviews from Republicans, with House Speaker William Howell (R-28) and others calling it another move by Herring to ignore the laws

he Loudoun County School Board is expected to reassign Middleburg students who choose not to attend the new Middleburg Community Char-

ter School to Banneker Elementary. Last week, the board heard the full recommendation for the attendance boundary change from Sam Adamo, executive director of Planning and Legislative Services. Middleburg Elementary will close at the end of this school year and reopen in August as

“It’s what the law requires, it makes economic sense for Virginia, and it’s the right thing to do.” Mark Herring (D) Virginia Attorney General

put in place by the General Assembly. Herring thrust Virginia into the national spotlight less than two weeks after he was sworn in when he announced he would not defend the commonwealth’s ban on same sex marriage. “We are deeply concerned by the Attorney General’s actions today and what appears to be a continued willingness to ignore and circumvent the duly-adopted laws of the Commonwealth,” Howell said of Herring’s action on in-state tuition. But Del. Tom Rust (R-87), who chairs the House Higher Education Subcommittee, is one of the few state Republicans to endorse Herring’s take on in-state tuition. The longtime delegate carried legislation in the past two a public charter school, which will operate as a “school of choice” for any Loudoun elementary student. Adamo’s office is recommending that elementary students who live in the Middleburg area be reassigned to Banneker Elementary, unless they choose to attend the new charter school. “The reason for that includes continuity for Middleburg students,” he told board members during a meeting and public hearing on

General Assembly sessions aimed at allowing immigrant students who entered the country as children to qualify for in-state tuition. Both the bills, HB1525 in 2013 and HB747 this year, did not make it out of the House Appropriations Committee. “Most of these young people have been raised in Virginia, attend Virginia schools, and only know Virginia as their home,” Rust said in an email sent to his constituents. “They deserve the opportunity to participate in our world class institutions of public higher education and realize their ambitions, just like my children and grandchildren were able to do.” n

Under the current school assignments, both Banneker and Middleburg elementary students go on to Blue Ridge Middle School and then Loudoun Valley High School. “We believe educational continuity will serve all students who may not be attending the Middleburg Charter School.” And Banneker has plenty of space, AdaContinued on Page 36

Loudoun Valley

ome August, Loudoun Valley High School senior Brandon Grayson will leave his home in St. Louis, northwest of Middleburg, to attend West Virginia Wesleyan, a small liberal arts college about 45 minutes south of Morgantown, WV. Grayson hopes to pursue twin interests— business studies and football. “I hope to find a good education, good pathways for my future, start a family and get a good job in business, probably business management,” he said. He’s following in his mother’s footsteps; she majored in business with a minor in economics. He’s also played sports his whole life—first, baseball, then football starting in his sophomore year. When college football coaches came calling last December, “I got interested and went to visit in January. I liked the campus and the people, the coaches were friendly, so I committed two weeks afterward,” Grayson said. Grayson has run the gamut of Loudoun schools—Banneker ES, Blue Ridge MS, Harmony Intermediate and Loudoun Valley. And he’s had pals to hang out with all through his education, beginning at Banneker, “where everyone, students, teachers and parents knew everyone.” He continued hanging out with pals at Blue Ridge and Harmony and it was not

school fosters creative thought,” he said. “People are different here in the sense that they are more open minded to new ideas and to discussion.” Beltoja credits his life experiences and religious beliefs as motivations for him to succeed. “The fact that I came from a relatively poor country…I kind of want to be a model for others to see,” he said. “I’m a devoted Christian so I study hard and work hard and try to be a role model for other Christians.” While he’s not yet set on Brown, he undoubtedly plans to study neurology and biology in college and looks forward to a career in medicine, conducting both neurological research and surgery. The message he leaves for younger kids is to never give up hope, no matter how hard the situation is: “Once all the difficulty is gone you will not regret your choice of not quitting your dreams and what you really enjoy doing in life.” — April Grant

ess than three years after winning a Green Card Lottery, bringing him and members of his family to the United States, Albanian-born Marjo Beltoja has received top grades at Stone Bridge High School and scored a full ride to the Ivy League’s Brown University in Rhode Island. The 18-year-old took as many AP courses as his schedule allowed for the past two years and, before his senioritis kicked in, studied more than six hours a night. That hard work helped him earn a 4.6 GPA and a score of 2100 on the SAT. He’s been co-captain of the varsity swim team, and member of the Math Honors Society, National Honors Society and the debate team. He also volunteered at Inova Loudoun Hospital, and worked as a school tutor. Despite knowing English, adjusting to a new country was difficult for Beltoja, who described education in the “old country” as mechanical and focused on memorization. “The most notable difference here is that

because everything I’ve been through in my life. I think for a lot of teenagers it hasn’t clicked for them that they’re not the center of the universe.” Her mother died of cancer when she was 10 years old; a tragedy that got Moore thinking early on about going into the medical field. She remembers walking into the hospital the day her mother passed away. “Hospitals are just not fun places to be,” she said, “but I think it’s the nurses who can have a big impact on families in situations like that. I want to be there to help others.” After graduation, Moore is headed to Penn State on a ROTC scholarship to study nursing. — Danielle Nadler

ailey Moore will tell you, she takes everything to the nth degree. As photo editor of The Falcon Flyer she does more than snap photos—she operates her own photo website that’s frequented by Briar Woods students. In her role as National Honor Society president she’s organized a 25-person Relay for Life team. She’s a key player on the Falcons lacrosse team, and has helped quadruple the size of the school’s Fellowship of Christian Athletes as the organization’s leader. And, when she was named the executive secretary of the Student Council Association, she challenged her fellow student council members to make the most of the opportunity they’ve been given. “Instead of just holding meetings once a month, I wanted it to be more meaningful. So I asked, how can we affect our community?” As part of the third annual Battle for a Better Cause—which turns the football game between cross-town-rivals Briar Woods and Broad Run into an event to benefit a good cause—Moore did her part to raise awareness of childhood cancer. In memory of 13-year-old Gavin Rupp, who lost his battle with cancer last summer, fans who attended the game were invited to sign post cards advocating more federal funding for childhood cancer research. The post cards were delivered to the U.S. Capitol, along with letters to Virginia congressmen written by Moore. “I wanted the community to see that teenagers actually care about other people,” she said, admitting she takes almost everything more seriously than most 17-year-olds. “I think it’s

catch up after the unusually cold and snowy winter and wet early spring. At one point last month, Duellman was nervous the 282,064-square-foot school building would not be ready for the first day of school Sept. 2. The school’s 15-month construction timeline was tight anyway; most Loudoun high schools are built in about 18 months. “I had some butterflies when I came out a few weeks ago,” he said. “But seeing how much progress they made I’m not anymore. We will open on time.” Loudoun County Public Schools Director of Construction Raymond Meeker echoed that confidence. “We always work the hours necessary to open on time,” he said, noting that Loudoun County has plenty of experience in building schools, opening more than 30 schools since 2000, and three this year alone. “We do not miss openings.” Now Duellman’s focus is on the people who will make up the county’s newest high school. The two assistant principals have been named, Dawn Dickerson from Freedom High School and Mike Fitzgerald from Broad Run High School, and so have the athletic trainer, Nicole McDonald and band director, Justin Ratcliff, among others. Within the next four weeks, about 70 teachers will either be hired or brought on from other Loudoun schools.

Nine Brambleton parents filed a joint lawsuit against the Loudoun County School Board following the change in attendance zone boundaries that reassigned their children from Briar Woods to Rock Ridge. The hearing is scheduled for June 23. But Duellman said, as the school has started to take shape, students and parents sound upbeat about welcoming the new school. “As soon as we asked students to communicate what they want to see in the school, everyone calmed down and wanted to be a part of it.” The students will be invited to take a tour of their new school Aug. 26. Students will get to meet their teachers and classmates, walk through their course schedule and attend the first home game, when the Phoenix volleyball team hosts Stonewall Jackson High School. “It will kind of be our practice day in school,” Terry said. “We’re hoping to have everybody run through their classes, hang around for a picnic and then go to the volleyball game.” Follow updates on Rock Ridge High School at www.lcps.org/rockridge. n

Duellman said he’s looking for teachers who are “all about the kids.” When he sits down with a prospective Rock Ridge teacher, he wants to hear about their passion for students. “I want to know how are they going to connect and click with students,” he said, and he wants teachers who make every student feel like they are a vital part of the school. That’s the message he and his team—a very small team for now—have been trying to get out to the future Rock Ridge students. Duellman, Terry and McNanley have held several formal and informal meetings at the four schools most of the Rock Ridge students attend now. They’ve asked students for their input on everything from the school’s mascot and school colors—students chose a Phoenix and cardinal and slate—to what the team uniforms should look like. “We want them to know, there’s this great opportunity ahead of them to help shape a school,” Duellman said. As is the case with almost every new high school that opens in Loudoun, there is some early resistance from students, and often their parents, to the idea of leaving familiar surroundings, and Rock Ridge was no different.

ith the arrival of Metrorail service into Reston imminent—and extension to Loudoun moving ahead— more than 450 people climbed onto buses last Thursday to get a tour of commercial real estate in eastern Loudoun and Fairfax counties. The NAIOP “Outside the Beltway” bus tour gave representatives of developers, land use attorneys, commercial and industrial real estate brokers, architects, and many other industry professionals—including about a dozen who came from outside the Washington, DC, region—a chance to get an up-close look at Northern Virginia’s commercial real estate market. As many people on the bus commented throughout the day, “If you want to know what is going on in the market in Northern Virginia, this is the thing you need to do.” NAIOP is a commercial real estate development association that’s chaired by Mark Hassinger of Loudoun’s WestDulles Properties. The day kicked off with a trade show attended by an additional 200 people at One Loudoun in Ashburn. Throughout the morning attendees visited information booths for Northern Virginia developments and companies and learn about their projects and offerings. Hosted in one of One Loudoun’s officeover-retail building, the event also gave Miller & Smith a chance to show off the happenings at its flourishing mixed-use center. That included a surprise announcement from “Top Chef” and “Top Chef Masters” Bryan Voltaggio that he will open his first Virginia restaurant at One Loudoun. Family Meal, which already has a location in Frederick, MD, will open later this summer, Voltaggio told the crowd to loud applause. Voltaggio is a Frederick-based chef, who is the co-owner and executive chef of four restaurants, including VOLT, Lunchbox and RANGE. The bus tour started from One Loudoun,

Business In Brief

May 12-16 is Small Business Week in Loudoun. See schedule of events at: www.loudounsourcelink.org/calendar/small-business-week.

• Northern Virginia’s position at a key intersection on the information superhighway has given rise to scores of data centers and other Big Data components and services. But what does that mean to you? During a half-day program Friday, May 9, at the NTSB Training Center, representatives of the Northern Virginia Technology Council, The George Washington University and Attain will release a research report conducted by Chmura Economics & Analytics highlighting the depth and breadth of Big Data experience, expertise and assets in the region. The event also

traveling through Ashburn, including Loudoun Station in the morning before heading into Fairfax County. In the afternoon, the buses returned to Loudoun with a tour of properties along Rt. 28 and Rt. 7. Participants also got a look at the development happening in Fairfax County, particularly along the route of the Silver Line, which is expected to start running this summer. To be included on the tour, properties had to have at least 40,000 square feet of available or approved space, according to Eric Dobson, NAIOP’s director of government relations and communications. “This is really the best way to get all the information you need in one day,” he said. “The goal is to educate people about what is going on in the market.” To help in that education, captains on each of the buses walked participants through the lengthy guidebook NAIOP published with information about each property. The tour included history of the properties—some had been built in the 2007-2009 timeframe just before the real estate bust—and even some inside information on potential anchor tenants. The captains focused on some of the demands in the market right now, like the need for amenities serving company employees such as outdoor space or fitness facilities, as well as overall market trends. For example, the commercial market has a negative absorption rate right now of about 3 million square feet, impacted greatly by the movement of government agencies from leased space into government-owned buildings in the area. Participants also received a lot of statistics about how much visibility and traffic certain sites would get—giving them insight into the kind of exposure a company might receive if it locates in a specific building. For example, the Dulles Toll Road has been between 110,000 and 120,000 car trips in an average day, but Rt. 28 is not far behind with about 80,000 car trips. For Loudoun, this year’s bus tour provided an opportunity to show what the county is doing to meet the arrival of Metro in a few

It takes a lot to hold Eli out of a game. While playing shortstop once in a Little League game, a ball hit him in the face and knocked him out for a few minutes. He then got back up, spit out some blood and went back to work. Another time, he got hit in the mouth by a pitch that left a scar on the right side of his lip. Last week against Broad Run, a foul tip bounced off the dirt and into his groin, leaving him gasping for air. He was down on the field for a good five minutes before being carried off to the side to fully recover. Then there’s his hand that is always numb and swollen after catching for JB. The feeling in his hand returns in an hour, but the swelling takes longer to go down. Eli knows situations like that go with the game, and he deals with them in a business-asusual approach. That’s how he was raised. Plus, he knows it’s nothing compared to what his mom has been through. “She makes me want to work harder,” Eli said. He’s a quiet kid, who lets his actions speak for themselves. But Eli is always aware of his surroundings. Nothing escapes his attention. All those ground balls being fielded years ago in the family’s front yard prepared him to stay alert and never take the game for granted. What started as his mother’s passion now belongs to him as well. The result is an unbreakable bond that exists between them without either having to say a word when he plays. It’s understood. “It’s the best part of her day,” Eli said. His too. n

Then Jamie’s aunt, who was living in Sterling at the time, told Jamie she could get Henry a job working at Trader Joe’s. In need of medical insurance for Jamie, Henry took the job, and the family moved to Virginia in April 2011. But before leaving Texas, they researched travel-league baseball teams in Loudoun County. The top-ranked one belonged to Ken Bukauskas. Henry called Ken and asked if Eli could try out for the Loudoun South Eagles. Ken agreed and within a week after the family arrived in Virginia, Eli did a private workout. Ken immediately saw Eli’s ability. “It didn’t take a second to see the talent Eli has,” Ken said. The only issue was money. At the time, it cost $1,800 annually to play for the organization. It was money the Quicenos didn’t have. Their budget was tight to begin with and they now lived in what ranks as the richest county in the country with a median household income of nearly $119,000. Aware of the family’s financial plight, Ken did the only thing that seemed right. He waived the fees. Laying down a bunt. Executing a double steal. Maintaining a proper batting stance. All are important aspects in learning the game of baseball. But to Ken and Sam Plank, who have mentored Eli on the travel team and high school level, there was something more important than money. People had to come first. “We wanted to do this. It was an easy thing to do for a beautiful family like they are,” Ken said. “Some of us haven’t had to deal with what they have had to deal with. But knowing what athletics have done for Eli and his family, I’m not sure how Sam and I could look at ourselves if we said, ‘It’s just about pay-to-play.’” The coaches help out in other ways. Plank, who is Stone Bridge’s head baseball coach and Eli’s one-time travel team coach, and his girlfriend provided seven days worth of groceries to the family while Jamie was in the hospital at the

beginning of January. “There’s so much love in that family,” Plank said. “There’s a lesson for all of us there. In tough times, where they could fall apart and then you see so much love, you want to help people like that.”

raditional music festivals celebrating genres like bluegrass and Americana are proliferating across the country. Locally, the coming weeks are particularly rich for traditional music fans. The Loudoun Bluegrass Festival marks its fifth year near Leesburg this weekend. And next month, the organizers of the popular Watermelon Park Fest are putting together a new festival, River and Roots, in the same Clarke County location. A number of top-notch traditional musicians call Loudoun home or have roots in the county. And for the organizers of both upcoming festivals, bringing community together and engaging musicians and non-musicians alike are key. The Loudoun Bluegrass Festival was launched in 2010 as a fundraiser for the Rotary

Bud’s Collective; and old favorite Patuxent Partners. WAMU radio’s Lisa Kay Howard will emcee the event, with help from Linhardt. But the festival is far from a sit down and watch event. The 12-hour happening features workshops—vocal, banjo, bass, fiddle, mandolin, guitar and clogging—and jams in a range of styles, including slow bluegrass, Irish traditional, gypsy jazz and old time, led by skilled teachers. Linhardt said that she made an effort to find jam leaders who will bring out the best in even the most experienced musicians. “I tried to get really nice, fun people,” she said. “Sometimes if you don’t know anyone and you’re at a festival and you’re working on playing, if somebody just smiles at you and says hi you’re like ‘OK, I can do this.’” Linhardt, a well known Waterford-based mandolinist and music teacher who performs

regularly with different ensembles, added that attending and jamming at festivals is key in the trajectory of any traditional musician. “I started seriously playing when I went to a fiddlers’ convention and I saw people competing and hanging out and jamming,” she said. “If you see one concert, it’s this polished thing and you don’t really relate to it: it’s up there and you’re down here. But when you see people jamming and meeting each other, it’s amazingly powerful.” Claude Jones, of Brunswick, MD, was a novice guitarist when he attended his first Loudoun Bluegrass Festival several years ago, and it turned out to be a breakthrough experience. “I attended a workshop entitled ‘How to Jam’ taught by Ira Gitlin. That experience pretty much broke me out of my ‘pick in the basement’ comfort zone,” he wrote in an email. “I have attended several festivals and nearly 200 jam sessions since that day [and] started a jam at our local coffee shop in Brunswick.” The festival also features popular contests

doun festival and pull in the community on a lot of levels and really make it memorable.” The festival is a rain or shine event, and all performances and workshops take place in the fairgrounds’ many barns and outbuildings. Carolina Brothers will be serving award-winning barbecue, and Loudoun wineries will be pouring. Children’s activities, including music with “banjo man” Frank Cassel and Mother’s Day crafts, are another popular feature. Meanwhile, on the other side of the Shenandoah in eastern Clarke County, the organizers of the popular Watermelon Park Fest, which has become a traditional music institution over the past decade, are launching a new festival, River and Roots, which, in addition to showcasing top names in traditional music, spotlight efforts to protect the Shenandoah River and promote local agriculture. River and Roots takes place June 27 and 28 at the Watermelon Park campground owned by the Miller family since the late 1930s. The site has hosted bluegrass festivals since the early 1960s. Organizers David Van Deventer and Frazer Watkins, of Bluemont-based Shepherds Ford Productions, revived the tradition with the first Watermelon Park Fest in 2004. That festival takes place every September and is often sold out weeks in advance. In the last year, Watermelon Park owner John Miller approached Van Deventer and Watkins about organizing another traditional music festival in June, this one with an environmental and agricultural twist, and River and Roots was born. Like the September festival, the program includes a full lineup of great music, workshops and the popular impromptu camp jams, but River and Roots is all new in its increased focus on enjoying and preserving the Shenandoah and on supporting local farms.

for bands, fiddlers, mandolin players, banjo players and guitarists with cash prizes. There are no age divisions for the contests, Linhardt noted, and younger competitors often take top honors to the delight of listeners. Contest participants are encouraged to pre-register online to reserve a spot. At 5 p.m., the main stage is the setting for an old-fashioned barn dance with music by the Warrenton-based old time band the Cabin Raiders and well-known caller Janine Smith, and Linhardt emphasized that no contra or square dance experience is required. The festival is truly designed for musicians and non-musicians alike, Linhardt underscored. Attendees can stay at the main stage all day and be entertained, but generally even non-musicians like to walk around and check out the jams for unknown gems. “The festival is structured so there are all kinds of ways people can interact and do things…You don’t have to just sit there,” Linhardt said. “[The Rotary club] wanted to keep it a Lou-

The festival has partnered with a number of local environmental groups, including Shenandoah River Keeper, the Piedmont Environmental Council, Friends of the Shenandoah and the Downstream Project. However, organizer Watkins is quick to point out that the emphasis is not political. “We want [this event] to present that we’re glad that our community is doing all these things to help the river and that we care about it. And we want to fall short of getting into a polarized discussion,” Watkins said. The festival features an onsite farmers market Friday afternoon and an educational Boat Float down the river led by Loudoun native Joshua Bearman Saturday afternoon. However, music is still at the center of the festival. Headliners include national acts like Grammy-winning North Carolina-based bluegrass band the Steep Canyon Rangers and Grammy-nominated Cajun/Creole/Zydeco musician Cedric Watson, as well as local favorites including Danny Knicely, Furnace Mountain, the Short Hill Mountain Boys and the Woodshedders. And, as with the Loudoun Bluegrass Festival, fostering a sense of community is key: the concept of “microfesting,” or meeting up with likeminded musicians to jam, is central to the event. “The only reason we have people on stage is to give the camp crowd musicians a break,” Watkins joked. But like the Loudoun festival, River and Roots offers plenty for non-musicians, too. Tubing is highly recommended and tubes are available for rent at the campground. “I’d show up Friday with my grill and my tube,” Van Deventer said. “I’d shop at the farmers market and get some steaks to grill over the weekend. I’d go tubing on the river, I’d listen to the music, I’d dance in the dance tent and stay up and listen to the picking in the park. And the next morning I’d go tubing again, eat some of the local food [before Saturday’s musical lineup].” A highlight of River and Roots will be a communal dinner Saturday night. Festival-goers are invited to buy a plate in support of River Keeper and take it to the festival’s many food vendors for specials. Grilling, picnicking and potlucks are also welcome. Attendees also have the option of making a real vacation out of the event and arriving the previous Monday for a week of fun on the river before the lineup begins Friday.

Falls Church, between 5 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, and 11:59 p.m. Thursday, May 1, in the Pediatric Medical and Surgery unit, Rooms 319 to 322 of Labor and Delivery, Psychiatry Unit, O3 Family Centered Care, Apheresis, and Diagnostic Radiology. Measles is a highly contagious illness spread through coughing, sneezing, and contact with secretions from the nose, mouth, and throat of an infected individual. Measles symptoms usually appear in two stages. In the first stage, most people have a fever of greater than 101 degrees, runny nose, watery red eyes and a cough. The second stage begins around the third to seventh day when a rash begins to appear on the face and spreads over the entire body. Based on the date of exposure, Loudoun and Fairfax health officials have determined that anyone who was infected with measles from this individual would develop symptoms as late at May 22. Health officials are cautioning residents that if they have received at least one dose of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the past, the risk of being infected with measles from any of these exposures is very low. However, people who have never received MMR vaccine may be at risk. Anyone who notices symptoms of measles should immediately limit their exposure to other people, and contact their primary health care provider immediately. While few measles cases are reported in the United States, the disease is common in many parts of the world, including popular tourist destinations. All persons who will be traveling internationally should be evaluated for measles immunity and vaccinated as needed. Residents with additional questions about this measles investigation should call 1-877-2758343. n

Educa t io n

esidents are being asked to review a list of locations in Loudoun and Fairfax counties to see if they may have been exposed to the measles. After a person who was diagnosed with measles has been identified, the Loudoun and Fairfax County Health Departments are warning people who were at various locations in both counties between April 23 and May 1, that they may have been exposed to the disease. Northern Virginia health officials are mounting an effort to identify people who may have been exposed. The dates, times and locations of the potential exposure sites associated with the case of measles are: • Lotte Plaza, 13955 Metrotech Drive, Chantilly, Wednesday, April 23, 7-11 p.m.; • Chantilly Department of Motor Vehicles, 14950 Northridge Drive, Chantilly, Friday, April 25, 11:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.; • CVS Pharmacy, 24795 Pinebrook Road, Chantilly, Sunday, April 27, 11 a.m.-3:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 29, 3:30 p.m.-8 p.m.; • Inova Dulles South Urgent Care Center and other businesses at 24801 Pinebrook Road, Chantilly, Sunday, April 27, 11:30 a.m.-4 p.m.; • Harris Teeter, 25401 Eastern Marketplace Plaza, Chantilly, Sunday, April 27, 1-4:30 p.m.; • South Riding Pediatrics and other businesses at 25055 Riding Plaza, South Riding, Monday, April 28, 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Tuesday, April 29, 3-7 p.m., Wednesday, April 30, 3:30-8 p.m.; • Target, 14391 Chantilly Crossing Lane, Chantilly, Monday, April 28, 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m.; • Home Depot, 25000 Riding Plaza, South Riding, Wednesday, April 30, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.; • Inova Dulles South Radiology Imaging Center and other businesses at 24801 Pinebrook Road, Chantilly, Wednesday, April 30, 9:30 a.m.-1 p.m.; • Inova Fairfax Hospital, 3300 Gallows Road,

In addition to the total active sentence of 11 years in prison, Judge James F. Almond imposed 61 years of suspended time which could be revoked should Shirley violate the terms of his supervised probation upon his release. Also, Shirley was ordered to make restitution in excess of $6,000 to victims in the Loudoun County cases. n

Shirley was caught in the fall of 2012 when West Virginia State Police reported finding items in his home that had been reported stolen from residences in western Loudoun. Investigators then found additional items in the homes of Shirley’s relatives and girlfriend. Among the stolen items were jewelry, electronics and firearms.

The Town of Leesburg The Town of Leesburg Department of Plan Review, in accordance with National Flood Insurance regulation 65.7(b)(1), hereby gives notice of the Town of Leesburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (FEMA Community 510091) and County of Loudounâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (FEMA Community 510090) intent to revise the 1% annual chance (100-year) floodway on Tuscarora Creek between Cochran Mill Road and Battlefield Parkway. The floodway is shown on FEMA Flood insurance Rate Map (FIRM) 51107C0235 and is located between Cross Sections A and D. Specifically, the floodway shall be revised from a point just upstream of Cochran Mill Road (Route 653) near FEMA Cross Section B to approximately 6,350 feet upstream of Cochran Mill Road (end of study). As a result of the floodway revision, a maximum floodway widening of 820 feet shall occur at a point approximately 6650 feet upstream of Cochran Mill Road, and a maximum narrowing of 50 feet shall occur approximately 700 feet above Cochran Mill Road. The 1% annual chance floodplain elevation shall increase from Cochran Mill Road to a point approximately 1700 feet downstream of Battlefield Parkway (FEMA Cross Section D). The elevation increase starts at zero at Cochran Mill Road, continues to 5.1 feet at a point approximately 2100 feet above Cochran Mill Road, and gradually declines to zero at a point approximately 1700 feet downstream of Battlefield Parkway. Also, the 1% annual chance (100-year) floodplain shall generally narrow from a point approximately 100 feet downstream of Section A to a point approximately 300 feet upstream of FEMA Cross Section D. All of the elevation increases are due to better topographical information. Maps and detailed analysis of the flood hazard revision can be reviewed at the Town of Leesburg offices located at 25 West Market Street. If you have any questions or concerns about the proposed project or its effect on your property, you may contact Mr. Mac Willingham at (703) 771-2741 between the hours of 8:30 AM to 5 PM weekdays.

And after coming home from a hard dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, who wants to spend time cleaning the house and doing other chores? Sometimes it takes all the energy we have just to make dinner. Even if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to do the daily chores, such as washing dishes, doing laundry and making beds, there comes a time when the house needs a more thorough cleaning. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time or energy to do it ourselves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to look outside the home for some help. But how do you choose a cleaning service? The first step is to think about and write down what house cleaning chores you want done in your home by a professional service. Perhaps there are some things you enjoy doing and others you put off until thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crisis situation. If you have children, maybe you have things you expect them to do, such as making their beds, and then there are other chores that are just too big for you to do, such as giving the carpets a good, deep cleaning or cleaning the upholstery. Also, there might be some things that you want done infrequently or on a rotating basis, such as cleaning out the kitchen cupboards or the refrigerator. Also think about what rooms you want someone to clean. Will you include all the bedrooms and bathrooms? Kitchen, living room and study? Basement? Also, decide how often you want someone to clean the rooms. Might you want someone every day? Once a week? Once each month? (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to keep a home clean with only a monthly cleaning.) And is there a specific day of the week that you want someone to come to your home? Then figure out your budget. Most compa-

nies decide their cost on the number of rooms to be cleaned, the type of work and frequency of cleaning. Think about what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth to you to have someone else do the work for you. The next step is to make a list of potential cleaning services to hire. The best way to get started is to ask your friends, neighbors and coworkers for cleaning services they recommend. Then gather information about each of the services. Make sure the company is licensed and insured. This is important if the employees will be in your home while you are away. Also find how long the company has been in business. Ask what types of cleaners they use, especially if you or your family members have allergies. Also ask what supplies, if any, you need to have on hand. Also ask about contracts for the service. Do you need to sign up for a yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worth of service or can it be something shorter? Find out what the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s procedures are if you are unhappy with the work being performed. And ask about what type of training the company provides for the employees. Also ask about the background checks, if any, the company performs on their employees and find out if the same person will come each week. Find out about the prices for the services you want. Does the company charge an hourly rate or do they charge a rate for the job? Pay attention to the quality of the contact that you experienced with the companies. Were they polite on the phone? Did they raise questions that you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t thought of? Did they provide you with some alternatives? With the information that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve collected during your interviews, one or more companies will rise to the top. Remember, too, if you want your expectations met itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that you communicate them to the company.

As we approach the busiest time of year for needing an A/C contractor itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for consumers to understand the credentials that they must look for in choosing a HVAC contractor. One of the common mistakes consumers make when hiring a Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor is hiring based solely on price. Hiring an A/C company based solely on price cannot only be dangerous, but also it is typically the bait that is used to get inside your home, where unnecessary repairs will be found to increase the price. A popular TV show recently conducted and undercover investigative report about ripoff A/C companies and exposing the competency and honesty of A/C companies. So, how do you determine whether a heating and cooling contractor is the right contractor since you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find any contractors claiming that they are not legit and qualified for the job? Relying solely on customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; reviews is a dodgy affair as they can be made up or even purchased. So what do you really need to look for in a contractor?

In addition, look for a contractor that is a certified dealer of known brands of HVAC equipment. This ensures the consumer that the contractor has received the highest level of factory training on various heating and cooling equipment. The reality is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to establish a relationship with heating and air conditioning contractor well before you have an emergency because you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to verify the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials and determine if the contractor is a quality contractor.

How To Choose The Best Heating & Cooling Contractor Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). ACCA members have access to the latest technical information regarding HVAC systems. ACCA members are up to date on the newest development in equipment, technology and design producers. t -PPL GPS B DPOUSBDtor who is licensed and complies with all state and local codes and carries the proper business and workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation insurance. t -PPL GPS B DPOUSBDUPS XIP IBT ZFBST PG experience and is recognized in your community as the expert in the field of heating and cooling. These points are very important and will ensure that your contractor has the skill and knowledge to not only service your equipment, but if necessary, to design and install the right system for you. In addition, look for a contractor that is a certified dealer of known brands of HVAC equipment. This ensures the consumer that the contractor has received the highest level of factory training on various heating and cooling equipment. The reality is, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best to establish a relationship with heating and air conditioning contractor well before you have an emergency because you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time to verify the contractorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s credentials and determine if the contractor is a quality contractor.

To make ends meet these days, many times youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find both husband and wife working outside the home. And after coming home from a hard dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work, who wants to spend time cleaning the house and doing other chores? Sometimes it takes all the energy we have just to make dinner. Even if thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to do the daily chores, such as washing dishes, doing laundry and making beds, there comes a time when the house needs a more thorough cleaning. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the time or energy to do it ourselves, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s okay to look outside the home for some help. But how do you choose a cleaning service? The first step is to think about and write down what house cleaning chores you want done in your home by a professional service. Perhaps there are some things you enjoy doing and others you put off until thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a crisis situation. If you have children, maybe you have things you expect them to do, such as making their beds, and then there are other chores that are just too big for you to do, such as giving the carpets a good, deep cleaning or cleaning the upholstery. Also, there might be some things that you want done infrequently or on a rotating basis, such as cleaning out the kitchen cupboards or the refrigerator. Also think about what rooms you want someone to clean. Will you include all the bedrooms and bathrooms? Kitchen, living room and study? Basement? Also, decide how often you want someone to clean the rooms. Might you want someone every day? Once a week? Once each month? (Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to keep a home clean with only a monthly cleaning.) And is there a specific day of the week that you want someone to come to your home? Then figure out your budget.

a spotlight on some stores—Walmart is a frequently cited example— whose employees rely on SNAP funds to put food on their table as much as the companies do to increase profit margins. There is no reason why local family farmers shouldn’t have access to those funds.

The likely result if the program successfully takes off: Loudoun’s

poorest residents are eating healthier, Loudoun’s farmers are selling more produce, and Loudoun’s rural land continues to be in demand for a use other than McMansion construction.

It’s hard to find a downside in this one.

have taken the liberty to speak on the behalf of many Kincaid Forest residents that are appalled at the blatant disregard by the Leesburg Town Council and our own Loudoun planning commissioner about our support of the Tuscarora Crossing application. This project is in our backyard and we have stated at a number of public meetings with the Town Council that we do not want industrial uses built there. The applicant originally proposed a purely residential development, much like our own Kincaid development, which we supported. Throughout this process though, the Loudoun County Planning Commission has continually asked for more commercial development to be added to the application, which the applicant has done, all the while maintaining homes simi-

lar to ours along our border, which is critically important to us. That, however, is not enough for the Leesburg Town Council. The majority of members last Tuesday night said that they would not support any residential development here, instead committing us to industrial, warehouse, and office neighbors. The only way to protect our homes from industrial development is to rezone it. The current proposal respects our property while following the county’s planned land use for the property. It seems to be a win-win situation for all involved. Neal Vaught, Leesburg

Dear Editor: Here’s one for all you “LoCo” newbies to consider: slow down. I know driving slower on the secondary roads goes against the grain of your fast-paced, gadget-obsessed lifestyle, but the roadkill is starting to smell bad. Not long ago I was hauling livestock to the sale barn in Winchester. I passed a skinny, bespectacled, Vandyke-bearded fellow, almost certainly from an area where cheesesteak subs are all the rage, or maybe he was from farther north, standing beside his banged-up car. He was looking at the two deer he had just hit. It was broad daylight and those deer didn’t leap from a thicket; there were open fields on both sides of the road. Another dazzling urbanite had stopped to help. This joker was sawing away with an apparently dull pocketknife on the neck of the deer that was still twitching and kicking. Sir, those little hooves may not look like much, but it was either the grace of God or pure dumb luck (emphasis on “dumb”) that prevented that deer from kicking a hole in your own throat. Better to call Animal Control and watch in horror as they dispatch the wounded deer with a firearm, faster and more merciful than a pocketknife. It’s not all bad, though. All this roadkill is feeding the little family of coyotes that live in the woodlot right next to my house. I get a real kick out of hearing all the dogs in the area going nuts when the coyotes start yipping, howling and laughing. As long as the yuppies keep mowing down deer with their speeding foreign cars, the coyotes leave my calves alone. Tom Dukes, Purcellville

Wake Up

Dear Editor: The Congressional Budget Office recently reported that, thanks in part to federal tax breaks, corporations paid out just 12.1 percent of the profits in taxes. The Wall Street Journal noted that it’s the lowest percentage corporations have paid since 1972, despite the fact that corporate profits have been soaring the past few years. It sure seems like the average American corporation could afford a little bump up while the average American citizen could use a bump down. If we are really serious about getting our economy going, let’s lower the taxes on middle America. Everyone seems to agree that it’s consumers like us that drive the growth in this country.

that, we strongly support the Tuscarora Crossing application that is under review by Loudoun County. The Town Council considered this case last week and spoke despairingly about the application. They do not support the residential component of the project, even though, we, their constituents overwhelmingly do. Last Tuesday night, Councilman Tom Dunn said, as he’s said before, “There’s not going to be any heavy industrial at this location. One way or the other, there will not be.” He said residential is permitted at this property, but that is a blatant falsity. The land is zoned PD-GI, a zoning district that does not allow any residential. One way to guarantee that heavy industrial doesn’t develop is to approve the development plan that the applicant has proposed. Mr. Dunn has not identified another way and his hope and promise are not a guarantee. We want to thank Councilmen Dave Butler and Kevin Wright for listening to us and asking their colleagues to at least reflect our views that we as neighbors to the development support the residential development. Butler and Wright specifically asked their council members to reflect our position in the letter—doing their job as our representatives. Councilwoman Katie Hammler and Dunn denied their request. We urge council members to reflect our positions as they correspond with the county on this case. We support the rezoning application. Bob Lawson, Leesburg

—pat henr y, on Herring: Children Of Illegal Immigrants Eligible For In-State Tuition

Dear Editor: This is one of those times when one wishes Americans would look beyond purely local issues to free ourselves from the isolationist malaise that signals retreat from America’s effective global leadership. I believe the Russian aggression in Ukraine, Egypt’s rejection of democratic reforms and Syria’s ongoing criminal brutality against its citizens have been enabled in part by a well-meaning but ineffective American response, distressing in its apparent weakness (that retreat from the Syrian “red line”) and drift that enables and perhaps even invites the aggression of Putin, Assad, and the ongoing repression of Egypt’s military leaders. I say this in dismay as a long-time supporter of President Obama. Sadly, American public opinion drifts increasingly inward (perhaps understandably, given over a decade of military involvement overseas and crying needs for domestic investments) creating long-term risks to world stability. With few exceptions (Senator McCain in particular) the Republican Party follows its right wing isolationism and mindless rants against Obamacare and Benghazi, while ignoring our foreign policy needs. Surely this is the time for our thoughtful President to articulate why the U.S. must engage with our European allies on a robust energy policy that will in time free Europe from dependence on Russian oil and gas. It is also why we must, regrettably, approve the Keystone Pipeline bringing that polluting yet preferable oil from Canadian tar sands as part of an effective American and European energy policy. And it is why, in my view, we must provide substantial financial and, yes, military aid to Ukraine, why we can no longer provide military aid to Egypt, and why we must stop—with cruise missiles if necessary, but not “boots on the ground”—chemical warfare and barrel bombs against Syrian civilians. These are not popular positions, but a weakening of American diplomatic, financial and military leadership in key global sectors that have long been, and remain, critical to our national interest and to world peace is not a prospect that Americans should endorse. No doubt we shall remain isolationist if we cannot draw distinctions between what has worked and what hasn’t in the U.S.’s post World War II global and regional engagement. We succeeded, for example, in the Balkans, in contrast to our Vietnam and Iraq misadventures. Without acting on this experience we shall watch the steady unraveling of peace prospects at the hands of threatening autocrats like Putin, Assad and others. We have the skill and the means to maintain an effective global leadership role in the future. Burying our heads in the sand, fearing sacrifice and hoping that reason will prevail, is not the answer. Malcolm Baldwin, Lovettsville

incora itself provides a great location for the center, Spivey said, because of the amenities and resources that surround it. In addition to the mixed-use development that will make the community a destination, there are the natural resources of the Broad Run nearby. “There’s 150 acres of dedicated park land there. And we’ll have the heron rookery. It is wonderful that that will be protected. That will be a great and vital education resource for our center,” Spivey said. “For the little guys, nature is science. They could go creeking there. Some of them may have access to a creek at home, but others may not. And they certainly wouldn’t be able to be there with a science educator. This is a huge opportunity for us.” The museum will be a 53,000-square-foot facility, with room to grow as needed. Kincora’s developer is donating the land, but the science center is expected to make a total investment in Loudoun of about $40 million, Spivey said. Discussion with Kincora developers dates back to the early days of the museum’s plans, even before it adopted its current STEM—science, technology, engineering and math—focus. The nonprofit has been in serious discussions with the Kincora developer for about two years.

A father and daughter try out one of the activities at the Children’s Science Center’s Museum Without Walls during a NanoDays event last spring.

n concept, the Children’s Science Center will be tailored to Northern Virginia. Included in the plan are offerings such as a “Move Me” area that would feature transit facilities like Dulles Airport and the Metro project; “Digitize Me,” which would focus on the region’s high-tech industries; and “My Earth” which would include exhibits on the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the Piedmont and the Blue Ridge Mountains. “This museum wouldn’t have worked in another part of the country,” Spivey said. To that end, Spivey said the museum’s leadership is excited about the potential to tap into the companies and education resources in Loudoun County. Already there are volunteers involved in the museum from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and colleges and universities that have a presence near the Kincora property. “There are going to be a lot of volunteer opportunities and sponsorship opportunities,” Spivey said. But even though Tuesday’s announcement was the culmination of years of work, Spivey was cognizant of all the work still to come—and all the people that will help make a Children’s Science Center in Loudoun successful. “This will help fill the gap in STEM opportunities for children, and this [announcement] is one big step forward, but there is still a lot to come,” she said. “And along the way this effort is being lifted up by hundreds of volunteers strong, with many more to come.” To learn more about the Children’s Science Center, go to www.ChildSci.org, follow the organization on Twitter @ChildSci and at www. facebook.com/ChildrensScienceCenter. n

uilding from a “greenfield” provides the Children’s Science Center to construct exactly the facility its leaders want, but means it will likely be about five years before its doors can open. With museum operations ramping up in recent years, Spivey and the other museum leadership realized the demand is high for the museum’s services now. The Children’s Science Center has been conducting its Museum Without Walls program around the region for several years. Last year, the program served

14,400 people at 62 venues. By the end of this school year the program will have gone to 40 elementary schools across seven jurisdictions. To meet the needs of the region even sooner, the Children’s Science Center has plans for a 5,400-squarefoot location at Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax. “We have waitlists that are unbelievable,” Spivey said of the Museum Without Walls program. “We want to serve more children sooner. To do that we can open our lab concept at Fair Oaks Mall within the next year. We can serve four times the number of visitors there. We’re anticipating about 60,000 a year.” The children’s museum has a three-year lease on the Fair Oaks Mall space with the option of extending for another three years. It is to be determined whether the lab will remain open after the permanent museum opens at Kincora. “We plan on serving Fairfax children in Loudoun, and Loudoun children in Fairfax,” Spivey said. “This is a museum for the entire region.” In addition, the Museum Without Walls program will continue at sites around the region. Spivey said another benefit of having a “second phase” of the museum concept in Fairfax is the ability to field test ideas for exhibits in the permanent museum. “It allows us to prototype and test some of the programs and exhibits while we’re in the planning process,” Spivey said. “It is really a very business-oriented approach to rolling out and planning the full-scale museum. We know we can optimize and make a good investment in the much larger museum while having this Phase 2 up and running.”
