oudoun County long has been at the forefront in efforts to spread the word about how to prevent Lyme disease. But it also is breaking down barriers in the diagnosis and treatment of the debilitat-

ing illness.

The county claims one of the highest rates of infection in the nation from the tick-borne illness with nearly 200 confirmed cases a year, prompting the Board of Supervisors to form the Lyme Disease Commission four years ago to try to curb the epidemic.

Through the Loudoun Targets Lyme initiative, signs are now posted in county parks encouraging people to wear bug spray and diligently check themselves for the blacklegged ticks that transmit

York noted in an interview Monday that some residents have said they’re worried about the fact that the other chairman candidates don’t have Board of Supervisors experience. Besides King, Democrat Phyllis Randall and independent Tom Bellanca are in the race.

The incumbent chairman also pointed out this fact in his announcement, noting that he Continued on Page 16

as an independent.

In a prepared statement Tuesday, he said: “The outpouring of recent request and support for me to reconsider and to seek re-election has been overwhelming. With the growth of Loudoun over the past fifteen years, current issues facing our county and outpouring of concern for the quality of leadership over the next four years, I am announcing my re-election campaign.”

Loudoun Chairman Scott K. York announced Tuesday that he will seek re-election, after all. And he’ll do so as an independent.

York shocked many in county political cir-

cles in January when he said he wouldn’t seek another term to the job he’s held for more than 15 years.

He then maintained that stance as the Loudoun County Republican Committee nominated another candidate, Leesburg lawyer Charles King, in the race instead.

However, a coalition of sorts pushed behind the scenes, encouraging York to give it another go

Simpson even voted for Noble as a delegate to the Loudoun County Republican Committee’s nominating convention May 2.

“Unfortunately, the effort to nominate him came up just short,” Simpson said. “But the issues that caused me and so many others to become involved did not disappear with that convention. So I am picking up the torch.”

Simpson said Tuesday that he’s spent too much time involved with the Sheriff’s Office to stand by while, in his opinion, it goes down the wrong path.

“I cannot watch what has been happening with this fine organization without stepping up and offering my services,” he said.

And the candidate said he has personal reasons for running.

“The most important is that Loudoun County is where my wife and I are raising our family,” Simpson said.

In his statement, the independent

ormer Loudoun County Sheriff Stephen O. Simpson officially announced an independent bid for his old job Tuesday.

Simpson said last week that he intended to file petitions to run, and Tuesday afternoon he said that that paperwork had been submitted so he can make the ballot.

“I run because I see a Sheriff’s Office in need of new leadership,” he said in a prepared statement, “a Sheriff’s Office that has been allowed to regress over the last four years. We need some fundamental changes.”

Simpson faces incumbent Republican Mike Chapman and Democrat Brian Allman in the race.

In his announcement, the former sheriff noted that he backed retired Sheriff’s Office Maj. Eric Noble earlier this year as Noble tried to wrest the GOP nomination from Chapman.

uring the first Brambleton Brew Fest, festivalgoers already were hoping for a similar event next year.

“I hope there’s more events like this because wine and breweries are exploding in this area,” 25-year-old Sarah Francis said. “I was excited for this and can’t wait for next year’s.”

Plenty of breweries—there were 24 in total present—ran out of beer during Saturday’s event that saw 2,500 pack the Brambleton Town Center. The festival exceeded expectations in terms of attendance, Brambleton Community Association Director Beth Huck said.

Seven food trucks also filled the stomachs of patrons, while Lost Rhino Brewing Company celebrated a soft opening of its second location just across the street.

Justin Eggleton hopes next year’s version keeps the taps open longer than Saturday after-

projects like this one.”

McAuliffe spokesman Brian Coy and United spokesman Craig Stouffer also declined to comment, though Coy pointed out that the governor eagerly pursues projects that could benefit Virginia.

If the United came to Loudoun, the team probably would be heartily welcomed.

Loudoun Soccer is the largest recreational soccer club in the state, according to the organization’s website, with more than 16,000 players ages 3 to 18 registered annually in more than 30 programs.

And the county boasts residents who hail from many countries, especially in Asia, where soccer is even more popular than it is in the U.S.

In addition, having Dulles Airport nearby could be a boon for a professional sports team that needs to travel and to welcome squads visiting from other places. n

or the second time in recent weeks, Loudoun has been mentioned as the possible new home for a Washington professional sports team’s stadium.

County supervisors have noted, even in public meetings, conjecture about the Washington Redskins potentially adding a gameday home here, especially considering the NFL franchise already has its headquarters in Ashburn.

Then Tuesday the talk turned to D.C. United, as The Washington Post and other media outlets reported that Gov. Terry McAuliffe has pitched Loudoun as a place where the Major League Soccer franchise could land instead of building a new stadium in Washington as planned. The United currently calls RFK Stadium home.

Official word about the D.C. United possibility was hard to come by, though.

Loudoun Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer, Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) and Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said they couldn’t publicly identify businesses that might want to move to the county.

Letourneau, however, provided a prepared statement about prospects in general.

“Loudoun County is an increasingly attractive destination,” said Letourneau, chairman of the supervisors’ Economic Development Committee. “With our diverse population, strong financial footing and upcoming Metro links, we are seeing strong interest in projects of all types. While I cannot discuss specific prospects, I am always interested in opportunities that strengthen our county. The Board of Supervisors is already investing in the infrastructure needed to support exciting new

his is a very professional office with a top notch doctor and staff. Although there are qualified doctors closer to where I live, I have been going to Mountcastle for years because of the quality service I receive. I initially went for veins and some procedures were covered by insurance and others considered cosmetic. The doctor and staff explain everything well and with patience. Amy the RN did my veins and she was so expert that I consulted her about other procedures. She has injected Botox, and other products. The result is always fabulous – no one has ever asked if I have had anything done – just remark how great my skin looks. Amy is an artist with a needle! She has also advised me on skin care products at my request. People usually guess my age at 10 years younger. My skin looks healthy. Amy never tries to sell products, she just listens and provides options.

Chimaladinne Is Dems’ Pick For Dulles District Supervisor Jonathan Hunley

A

jhunley@leesburgtoday.com

njan S. Chimaladinne is the Democratic nominee for the Dulles District seat on the Loudoun Board of Supervisors.

Valerie Suzdak, who leads the Loudoun Democrats, said that Chimaladinne was the only candidate who filed for the Dulles spot by the May 27 deadline.

The information-technology professional ran for the district seat on the School Board four years ago, finishing second in a three-way race won by Jeffrey E. Morse.

Loudoun Democrats are not expected to field candidates for Blue Ridge District supervisor or commissioner of the revenue this year, Suzdak said. Had there been two or more candidates for either of those offices or for Dulles District supervisor, the committee would have held a caucus this week.

The Blue Ridge District race appears to be the only one in which both major parties will not be represented. Incumbent Supervisor Janet S. Clarke, a Republican, is not seeking re-election, and GOP nominee Tony Buffington and independent Richard Jimmerson are set to square off.

Although no more major party can-

didates are expected to file for local races, independents can still run if they submit the required paperwork by June 9.

The Loudoun Democratic Committee also announced May 21 that Peter Rush would be the party’s nominee in the 10th House of Delegates District.

The Leesburg resident, an elected member of the Loudoun Soil & Water Conservation District’s board of directors, will face incumbent Republican Del. J. Randall Minchew.

Election Day this year is Nov. 3. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 13. n

trip to Asia cost the county about $9,600.

Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large), Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer and Beth Erickson, president and CEO of Visit Loudoun, traveled to the Beijing area of China and the Seoul area of South Korea from April 18 to May 2, and the trio has hailed the excursion as a worthwhile investment.

The trip has prompted at least two serious inquiries from businesses that eventually could set up shop here and ideas for tourism events in China and in South Korea, they said.

The county delegation conducted 18 business meetings while abroad, Rizer said.

Costs for York and Rizer broke down like this, according to the Loudoun government: • Air travel: $5,418 • Hotels: $1,434 • Meals: $596 • Transit: $1,912 • Fees: $240

Lane closures on Belmont Ridge Road between Rt. 7 and Riverside Parkway in Lansdowne will take place throughout June and into part of July.

The closures, which began Monday, are necessary for utility relocation work by Washington Gas as part of the Rt. 7/Belmont Ridge Road interchange construction project. They’re scheduled to occur in three phases over a sixweek period.

The phases are as follows: • Phase 1, June 1 to 11: One southbound lane of Belmont Ridge, between Promenade Drive and Rt. 7, will be closed with the other southbound lane remaining open. Both northbound lanes will remain open.

• Phase 2, June 12 to 30: One southbound lane and one northbound lane, between Promenade and Rt. 7, will be closed with one southbound and one northbound lane staying open.

• Phase 3, July 1 to 15: One northbound lane between Rt. 7 and Promenade will be closed with the other northbound lane remaining open.

Questions about the project may be directed to Loudoun County’s construction manager, Javier Castro, at javier.castro@loudoun.gov, or at 571-258-3876. n

oudoun supervisors discussed Metrorail and more last week at what they called a county “transit summit.”

The supervisors didn’t take any votes at the May 27 meeting, but they talked about a host of issues, including commuter and local bus service and funding transit after Metrorail reaches the locality in 2019.

For example, some supervisors said that the county should continue to provide commuter bus service to Washington, DC, for residents even after Metro’s Silver Line is up and running and offering another way to get to the nation’s capital.

Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) also said that Loudoun should consider operating a connector bus service to the Gainesville-Haymarket area if a Virginia Railway Express station is built there. The commuter-train agency recently approved a study of expanding its service to that area.

And Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) brought up another matter: the fact that some local bus routes aren’t being used much. He said the county staff should examine where best to offer local service.

Some routes see fewer than five riders per hour, according to a report prepared for the meeting.

During Thursday night’s work session, the crowd—a mix of developers, Dulles-area residents and Board of Supervisors candidates— started with the basics. Project Manager Rich Klusek and Matt Noonkester, a community planner with the Stantec consultant team, solicited input on their priorities for the area. Participants used wireless keypads to provide real-time polling on issues such as the best land uses, and the types of roads and housing that should be considered as planners begin drawing up alternatives.

Judging from the responses collected from participants, the community-generated scenario will have lots of walkable, mixed-use centers, multi-modal roads with room for cyclists, more mid- and high-rise apartment/condo buildings, and outdoor spaces for neighborhood concerts and gatherings. Participants also gathered in groups around maps and photos to talk with members of the county planning staff in more detail about issues ranging from transportation to housing styles.

During the next community meeting, to be held at the school Aug. 26, participants will use special software to create a vision plan for the study area.

More work will be going on behind the scenes before then.

On Friday, the consultants met with landowners in the study area to gather information on their plans and suggestions for policy change.

Next week, at Stantec’s Charlotte, NC, office, the consultant team will hold charrette work sessions to begin creating specific development options.

In the end, there will be four, including one developed at the community meetings. Those will then be subject to additional studies, including economic impact and transportation analysis.

On June 17, the project team is scheduled to provide the Board of Supervisors with a status report on the project.

T

he public outreach phase of a new Loudoun County exercise to review development policies along the Metro rail corridor kicked off Thursday night.

More than 60 people attended the workshop at Moorefield Elementary School.

During the next several months county planners and a team of consultants will be taking a new look at the policies guiding development of land between Silver Line stations planned at Rt. 606 and Rt. 772.

Currently, county plans call for most of that acreage to be developed as “keynote employment” uses—as office campuses with some accessory retail uses, but no housing. That land-use concept hasn’t found a strong market since it was developed in the 1990s, and other areas planned for keynote office development, along Rt. 7 and Rt. 28, since have been converted to mixed-use centers.

It was a 2014 analysis by an Urban Land Institute study panel that urged the county board to change the plans to allow a greater mix of uses—including residential development—in the area. Supervisors signaled resistance to that change, citing worries about increasing costs for schools and other public services, and about the impact of allowing more homes to be built under the Dulles Airport flight paths. Another looming concern is to ensure that planning policies generate enough development to support the special tax districts created along the rail route to finance Loudoun’s share of the Metro construction cost.

The board-initiated study of development options is expected to result in a final recommendation this fall. If supervisors agree to move ahead with plan changes, that work will follow with another round of public review and public hearings, starting with the county Planning Commission.

But there is a lot of work to be done to reach that point.

served a term as Sterling District supervisor before running for the board’s top job.

“The field of candidates is simply not qualified to lead the county in the capacity of chair,” York said in the statement. “I have taken a great deal of time to look at them. Allowing any of the current candidates to act in the capacity of chair would be irresponsible to the citizens of Loudoun. Not one of them has even been a district supervisor for their community, and the chairmanship is simply not one which should be a training position.”

The announcement also said that Loudoun needs a strong chairman as it’s ranked as one of the top counties in which to live and work as well as one of America’s richest localities.

“From ensuring our bond rating remains high to establishing regional, national and worldwide partnerships and relationships, Loudoun deserves to continue on its path of success with the proper leadership,” the document said.

Though some undoubtedly cheered York’s news, his opponents offered criticism.

Reached Tuesday afternoon, Bellanca— who was the Democratic nominee in the 2011 chairman’s race, losing to York by 17,475 votes to 31,942 votes—said he had an inkling that York might run, and he said he didn’t think the timing of the incumbent’s announcement was a coincidence.

“I don’t think Scott was going to run if I didn’t run,” Bellanca said, noting that he formally filed campaign petitions Monday.

He said that York perhaps didn’t think he could win a three-way race with King and Randall but could triumph in a four-way contest, in which the victor would need to capture a lower percentage of the vote.

Bellanca said that he thought York has done a good job as chairman but that Loudoun simply needs a change.

He agreed with York on one point, too.

He said he also didn’t think either King or Randall were ready to preside over the county government.

Those major-party nominees, however, issued statements that took on the comments about experience.

“The notion that only one man can chair the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is laughable,” Randall said in an emailed statement. “I have chaired the Virginia Fair Housing Board at the state level and now serve as vice chair of the Virginia Board of Corrections.

And to be clear, I was appointed to these positions by three governors from both parties.

“Although I find Chairman York’s rationale for re-entering this race to be quite entertaining, I welcome Scott into the race and look forward to a healthy debate about the future of Loudoun County.”

King said in his statement that he disagreed that the chairman’s post needed to be filled by a “career politician” and that York’s initial decision to retire was the “correct one.”

“Loudoun County needs a decisive leader, not somebody who can’t make up their mind,” King said, adding that a leader should hold to his principles rather than bending to convenience.

In an interview, King also pointed out that it’s difficult to field a campaign without the backing of a political party, and he said he thinks it will be difficult for York to raise money to finance his bid.

“I didn’t think he’d do it,” King said.

York has succeeded in his two independent campaigns for the chairman’s seat, winning a three-way race in 2003 by a mere 368 votes, and defeating the Republican nominee in 2007. In 1999 and 2011, York was the Republican nominee. He is only the third person to hold the chairman’s seat since voters countywide began voting for the at-large position in 1991, and is the only incumbent chairman to be re-elected. n

incidents.

Black noted in his statement that Matthew was accused of sexual assault at Liberty and Christopher Newport universities but that no criminal charges resulted.

“I spoke with Hannah Graham’s parents about my bill,” he said. “If we can prevent another family from going through what her parents endured, I will be very happy. Protecting women from sexual assault and abuse has been a priority for me since my earliest days as a military prosecutor.”

Black said that Senate Bill 712 went through several redrafts because legislators struggled to work around a federal Title IX Law that has numerous privacy rules that “shield rapists from prosecution and protect universities from bad publicity.”

The lawmaker said he worked closely with fellow Republicans Sen. Mark Obenshain of Harrisonburg and Del. Rob Bell of Charlottesville to “break the law of secrecy.”

“We have given the police the help they

need to protect students from sexual predators,” Black said.

Favola also attended the bill-signing ceremony.

“This bill achieves the important balance of maintaining the privacy of the victim while providing for a more robust investigation of sexual assault allegations,” she stated.

Also on May 28, McAuliffe signed a House bill by Bell that was identical to Black’s and a measure by Del. James P. “Jimmie” Massie III, a Richmond Republican, that aims to ensure that campus police and local law-enforcers work together and promptly inform prosecutors if they’re investigating a case of possible felony sexual assault.

Said McAuliffe: “These bills strengthen the resources our schools provide to survivors and offer a common-sense approach to reporting crimes without compromising a survivor’s right to privacy. There is no question that we still have much work to do, but I want to thank the members of the General Assembly and this task force who were instrumental in getting these bills passed.” n

Loudoun’s Top Speller Makes National Top 50

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

oughly 60 full-day kindergarten seats will be available through a lottery this fall, following action taken by the Loudoun County School Board on May 26.

The lottery will be open only to rising kindergartners who live in the attendance zone of an elementary school that has available classroom space.

Those schools, and the estimated number of available seats, are: Algonkian (4), Belmont Station (4), Countryside (10), Dominion Trail (11), Horizon (6), John W. Tolbert Jr. (4), Lovettsville (5), Mountain View (7), Potowmack (2), Round Hill (2) and Steuart W. Weller (4).

School leaders earmarked $2.5 million in next year’s budget to add 45 new full-day kindergarten classrooms in buildings that have space, bringing the total number of Loudoun public school kindergartners who have access to a six-hour academic day to 1,500.

Sports L if e s t yle s

Students considered academically at-risk—those who are just learning English and those who live below or near the poverty line—have first dibs on those seats, and the remaining sought-after spots will be available for other youngsters through a two-step drawing.

A lottery drawing will be held at each of the 11 schools June 25, and families will be notified in early August whether their child will be placed in a full-day kindergarten class.

Loudoun County is one of three school systems in Virginia that do not offer every kindergartner a full-day program. The small expansion of full-day kindergarten has been described by School Board members as a step toward eventually rolling out an extended-day program countywide.

Next school year, 3,380 kindergartners will still attend school on a half-day schedule.

Parents who have children registered for kindergarten next school year will receive a form to enter the lottery in the mail. Forms also will be available at the 11 schools that have available seats. n

Loudoun Country Day School eighth-grader Shiv Lamba spelled his way into the semifinals of the Scripps National Spelling Bee last week. However, he got tripped up on the word “eupyrion,” spelling it with an “e” instead of a “y.” In March, Lamba beat out 73 other elementary and middle school students at the Loudoun County Regional Spelling Bee, sponsored by Leesburg Today. He was among 285 of the nation’s top young spellers in the national bee.

program designed to help students bridge the gap between high school and college gave 100 graduating seniors their formal send-off last week.

The graduates, most of whom have been involved in the CAMPUS program since ninth grade, were recognized at a May 27 ceremony at the Loudoun County School Administration Building in Ashburn.

CAMPUS is designed to inspire would-be firstgeneration college students and prepare them for postsecondary education. Throughout high school, the students are invited to classes and events to teach them time management, leadership skills and how to apply for college, scholarships and financial aid. Beyond that, the program provides students with community service and international travel opportunities.

“Without CAMPUS, I would have no idea what to do,” said Stone Bridge High School senior Jada Cox,

who plans to attend James Madison University this fall.

“It’s great for students that have no direction or guidance when it comes to college.”

Danielle Ampeh, a Potomac Falls High School senior, said the visits to college campuses helped her visualize herself as a student seeking a bachelor’s degree.

“It’s all about finding which school is right for you,” said Ampeh, who will attend Virginia Tech this fall. “The CAMPUS leaders and counselors really inspired me to continue my education. Without them, I wouldn’t know how to go about applying to college or how to prepare.”

Chris Clarke, CAMPUS program manager, described the program as a navigation system for students. “We are here to help these students not only to find a college and attend it, but to complete it and earn their degree. We’re here to see these kids persevere and to get them thinking long-term.”

Contractor Awarded ‘Repackaged’ Broad Run Renovation Project Danielle Nadler

A

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

fter the first round of bids for the renovation of Broad Run High School came in way over budget, school leaders last week awarded what they called a “repackaged” version of the project to Henley Construction Co. for $18.9 million.

The extensive renovation of the 46-yearold building was initially put out for bids in February with a budgeted cost of $26.47 million. Just two firms bid on the job, and both said they couldn’t do the full scope of the work for close to that amount.

Parents said they were told by school leaders during a community meeting on the project three weeks ago that the bids came in about $13 million over budget.

School administrators re-bid a trimmeddown version of the project earlier this month.

Henley Construction, a Gaithersburg, MDbased contractor, returned with the lowest responsible bid of three firms.

School Board member Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run), chairman of the Finance and Facilities Committee, said the school system now will work with Henley Construction to add some of the aspects of the project back in through change orders, which should be less expensive in the end.

Speaking at a School Board meeting May 26, Kuesters said it was too early to know whether the project still will be completed in full and on time.

“There will be requirements as far as timing and the financing, but those details have not been worked out yet,” he said, acknowledging that many in the Broad Run community are eager to know the project’s status. “We don’t have specific details that we can put out to the public yet because we’re still working with the contractors.”

The current timeline has construction slated to begin this summer and wrap up in August 2016.

The project, as described in the School

Board’s adopted Capital Improvement Program, includes: the addition of 10 classrooms, a health room, two resource spaces and an orchestra room; an expansion of the cafeteria; updates to the auditorium and the athletic ticket booth; new or renovated press boxes for the softball, baseball and stadium fields; new restroom facilities; a team building; stadium synthetic turf and track replacement; a new shot put area; a new senior parking lot; and an extended bus loop. Plus, the onsite fuel facility for school system- and county-owned vehicles will be removed.

Assistant Superintendent of Support Services Kevin Lewis said he’s optimistic that the full project will be completed as planned. n

misplaced box of SAT exams struck fear in the hearts of 263 Loudoun students who were initially told they would have to retake the four-hour exam, just as summer vacation appeared on the horizon.

Students learned May 27 that the SAT tests they took at Broad Run High School three weeks earlier had been lost in the mail, and that they’d better prep for a retest June 20—six days after school is let out for the summer.

But just before noon Monday, a white box containing the exams was found in what school system leaders called a shipping area of the high school.

“A thorough review of how the box ended up on this cart is underway,” Wayde Byard, Loudoun County Public Schools spokesman, wrote in an email Monday.

The school system initially told the press last week that surveillance cameras showed a UPS employee leaving with boxes that contained the tests.

“We don’t know what happened to it after that, but we did our part correctly,” Byard said May 27.

The school system sent a press release Monday apologizing to UPS, the Educational Testing Services and The College Board—all of which initially took flack for the lost tests.

Loudoun schools’ statement said that cameras showed the cart holding the box containing the tests entering the shipping area, but

that the footage does not show what happened to the cart between then and its pickup by UPS at 3 p.m.

“The cart on which the box containing the answers was found was 10 feet from where the cart going to UPS was originally placed,” the statement said.

Late last week, Broad Run Principal David Spage mobilized his staff and students to search the building until the test results turned up, which led to the discovery.

Misinformation and confusion continued to spread throughout the school community late Monday after some parents were told by employees at The College Board that the tests would not be scored—even after their recovery.

Mike Purcell, whose daughter is a Broad Run junior, said three College Board employees told him on separate occasions that the exams would not be scored because there is no way of knowing whether they have been tampered with.

“I said, ‘that’s probably the right thing to do because they don’t know where they’ve been.’ But now we’re getting mixed messages,” Purcell said.

Zach Goldberg, director of media relations with The College Board, later assured Purcell and the other students and parents that the test scores will be accepted.

The College Board is pleased the tests were found “intact and secure,” he said. “We are communicating directly with students and are moving forward to score the exams and release the scores as soon as possible. We thank the students and families for their patience.” n

ome companies may use drones to deliver packages. Some use them for film footage. But a Leesburg entrepreneur has another use in mind: inspections of high-rise buildings, bridges, dams and similar structures.

Paul Beckwith, president and CEO of Leesburg-based Navigator CS LLC, is seeking authorization from the Federal Aviation Admin-

istration to use Small Unmanned Air Vehicles— drones—to reduce the safety risk to humans in conducting structural inspections.

“Those are examples of essential operations that must be carried out behind the scenes to verify that these structures are properly constructed, properly maintained, are in serviceable condition and do not pose risk to the public,” Beckwith said. “Yet performing these inspections is usually difficult and often puts inspectors’ lives at risk. … SUAVs can inspect, photograph and

collect data on hard-to-reach areas that otherwise would require worker inspection.”

Falls are the leading source of workplace fatality and injury at construction sites. Beckwith said using drones also should reduce the cost and time to complete inspections, survey missions or monitoring site progress.

Navigator CS, an engineering and management consulting company, is performing operational testing, reviewing how to best utilize pilots and visual observers, preparing samples

of the final work product, and speaking with construction firms that are building/inspecting bridges, dams, buildings and other structures.

Preparing is all they can do for now. By law, any aircraft operation in the national airspace system requires a federal certification and registration, a licensed pilot, and operational approval. An FAA rule was passed in 2012 that grants the Secretary of Transportation the authority to determine on a case-by-case basis whether an airworthiness certificate is required for a drone to operate safely.

That means operators like Beckwith must seek exemption from the FAA to put his idea in motion. By mid-April, the FAA had granted 159 of the 1,125 petitions for exemption that it received in 2014, and in 2015 it has already received about 1,000 more petitions.

The grant exemptions authorize the use of drones weighing less than 55 pounds for civil operations and require drones to be flown at altitudes below 400 feet. People who are flying drones now without FAA authorization for anything other than purely hobby or recreational purpose are doing so in violation of the guidelines.

Through a summary grant process created to speed review, the FAA recently issued 30 new grants within a week. Beckwith hopes that his application will be reviewed soon.

“This is a good thing,” Beckwith said. “Our petition is number 2015-0546, which means that once the FAA finishes reviewing the more than one thousand petitions that it received in 2014, it will only take 545 more before it gets to ours.

Assuming that the FAA can issue 50 exemptions per week, we hope to get our exemption before the end of this year.”

Sen. Mark R. Warner Mike Stancik

s a co-founder of the company that turned into the technology giant Nextel, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D) has an interesting perspective on the growth of cell phones.

“If I did this presentation 20 years ago, 50 percent of you looking at your smartphones right now wouldn’t have the ability to do so,” Warner said to 220 attendees at the fifth annual Virginia Young Professionals Summit. “Every

time you guys hear an annoying noise for a message, I hear cha-ching.”

Warner spoke about the changes technology has brought to the Millennial generation during Saturday’s event at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne. He said it’s a challenge to stay connected on a personal level in the wake of technological advances.

“One challenge is as we become better connected through technology, in a way we become less connected to the community,” Warner said.

“We have to figure out how to stay connected person to person.”

Warner also spoke of his success story, but shared some of the adversity he faced before ultimately finding a job that would take his professional status to new heights. He helped a company go bankrupt in six weeks, and it took six months in the real estate business before he failed at that. But he received a third shot in 1982 with the company that became Nextel.

“I’ve learned more in my failures than I have in my successes,” Warner said.

He encouraged the youth to foster relationships with each other at the conference, which had numerous activities and lectures for those who attended.

That’s exactly what Grafton deButts, the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce’s

director of membership and brand strategy and chair of the 2015 Virginia Youth Professionals Summit Leadership Committee, said happened among attendees.

“I connected with someone from Fairfax that has a passion for expanding broadband into rural areas. This is obviously a problem that we face in Loudoun County,” deButts stated in an email. “Through our conversation, and input from one of our speakers, we learned about a new potential solution to this problem that hasn’t been explored locally. Three attendees brought a passion, a problem, and a solution to the table.

Those types of conversations were happening throughout the entire two-day event.”

Warner also directed his speech to the Millennial generation, which will make up 75 percent of the workforce within the next decade.

He said Loudoun was once viewed as a farming and semi-rural area, and now “it has the highest income rate in America and is the face of Virginia.”

“Millennials are the most diverse, most open to change, most forward leaning, least prejudiced generation ever,” Warner said. “You’re more open to disruptive change. This is your country. Own it.”

Co-founder of Hunch Analytics and former first U.S. Chief Technology Officer from 2009-2012 Aneesh Chopra also spoke to the attendees about the future of technology.

Once referred to as the “Indian George Clooney” by Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart, Chopra said the most common and reliable source of information comes from companies less than five years old. Chopra said from 2006 to 2009, young and small firms generated 8.6 percent job growth.

“The basis of our economic standing is based on start-up companies,” Chopra said.

“Your ideas can shape the present and future.”

Chopra said there are three key strategies for American innovation: invest in the digital infrastructure, develop Internet policy principles, and have open innovation to solve problems.

uscarora senior distance runner Anna Wasko can cover the miles in training. She can race the requisite yards or meters in competition. She can lead her teammates to victory. She can even quote a late, great running star like Oregon’s Steve Prefontaine who once said, “To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”

Well, it appears Wasko can excel off the track as well—and she seems to have taken the words of the legend known simply as “Pre” to heart.

“Running has helped me develop as a student-athlete by teaching me that nothing worthwhile comes easily,” said Wasko, the Virginia High School League’s 5A Female Scholar/Athlete of the Year. “Each time I open a textbook or step on the starting line, I am willing to dedicate 110 percent effort to the task at hand.”

Wasko, who has earned distinction in both cross-country and outdoor track during her four years at Tuscarora, is a member of the National Honor Society. But that’s not all. Her extracurricular activities include Key Club; Altruist Club; Fitness and Adventure Club; UNICEF Club; Varsity Club; and Future Educators of America. Her numerous volunteer activities include Girls on the Run and the Faith Formation.

“Volunteering has provided me with opportunities that have highlighted my high school

experience,” Wasko said. “The euphoric feeling of helping others is the same feeling as crossing the finish line.”

Of course, the College of William and Marybound student-athlete has had plenty of experience with both. According to her cross-country coach Rebecca Puterio, it is Wasko’s leadership ability that truly stands out.

“I have watched her grow from an inexperienced freshman into a talented, capable runner and team leader,” Puterio said of the all-state performer who helped lead Tuscarora’s cross-country team to the school’s first-ever state title last fall.

“She developed high goals during her first year of cross-country and strove to reach those goals every year of her career. Although she experienced some setbacks early in the season last fall, she never gave up. Despite her injuries, Anna continued to lead the team through her attitude and example.”

Perhaps it was Wasko who convinced her teammates what it took to be champions at the highest level. After finishing second in the Region 5A North meet, the Huskies shook the dirt out of their spikes and traveled to Great Meadows for the state championships in mid-November.

“Rather than allowing that to break us down, the loss [at regionals] fueled us,” Wasko said. “As my teammates and I stood on the starting line, our hearts were pounding louder than the gun that sounded the start of the race. After the race, I gathered the girls in huddle one last time as a

senior captain and told them that no matter what the outcome of the race was, I was proud of them.

I emphasized that whether we won the title or not, we won the most incredible season.”

The instant that the officials announced Tuscarora High School as the cross-county state champions was the moment that the dreams of all those Huskies became a reality.

“She is more than just one of the top runners in the state, she is a leader,” Puterio said.

Wasko, who has recorded track times of 5 minutes and 10.25 seconds in the 1600-meter run and 2:19.35 in the 800-meter run, has lived in Leesburg since she was two years old. She said that growing up in Loudoun County has provided her with a wealth of opportunities including schools and athletic programs to challenge and inspire her.

These experiences should help her at the next level.

“My goals heading to William and Mary are to grow as a student-athlete and excel both academically and athletically,” Wasko said. “I aim to be a contributing member of both the crosscountry and track teams and plan on majoring in Kinesiology and Health Sciences in order to combine my love of science, fitness, and helping others.” n

Tuscarora senior Anna Wasko was named the VHSL’s 5A Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Ashburn’s Taylor Clarke Prepares For MLB Draft lege roommate and teammate, sophomore right-hander Bailey Ober. Little represents, among others, San Francisco Giant pitcher Madison Bumgarner.

Although Clarke is still an amateur, Little is allowed to provide advice concerning dealings with major league organizations.

“My family went out to dinner with him and liked what he had to say,” Clarke said.

The scouts have come in droves to watch Clarke pitch.

“I don’t try and count, but it’s hard not to see the radar guns up,” Clarke said.

Clarke has given teams plenty of reasons to heavily follow him this season.

One of the country’s most dominant college pitchers and the best pitcher in school history, the 6-foot-4, 190-pound Clarke has gone 13-1 with a 1.73 ERA, 143 strikeouts and 14 walks in 114.1 innings to help the Cougars reach the NCAA Tournament.

take time off.

Instead of pitching in a college summer league, Clarke returned home to Ashburn and worked as a field attendant for the Loudoun County Parks and Recreation Department.

Clarke also spent a week in July training in Boston with Eric Cressey, an off-season strength and conditioning coach who works with many professional pitchers, including Cleveland’s Corey Kluber, the 2014 American Cy Young Award winner.

“I couldn’t ask for a better season,” said Clarke, who transferred from Towson. “There were no setbacks. I’m grateful.”

Clarke said he began the season struggling with his command as he worried about impressing the scouts.

“I was pitching for the scouts and not for myself,” Clarke said. “Our pitching coach helped me settle down. It worked its way out.”

Clarke was eligible for the draft in 2014, but he wasn’t surprised that he did not hear from any pro team during the three-day event.

“I wanted to come back and make this my year,” Clarke said. “Everything was a twoyear plan.”

Clarke said scouts have constantly checked with him on his signing ability since he still has one year of eligibility left and could return to school if he chose. But the redshirt junior has made it clear he wants to turn pro.

“I’m ready to come out,” Clarke said.

“I’ve done my four years in school. I want to get going to the next level.” n

irls field hockey has been invited off the sidelines.

The Loudoun County School Board voted May 26 to recognize girls field hockey as a varsity sport starting the fall of 2016, giving the club program the needed nod to compete in the Virginia High School League.

In a split vote, the board adopted a new policy that allows it to welcome girls field hockey, or any other club sport, into VHSL play without coming up with the bucks to pay for it.

But, after almost an hour of debate, board members agreed to go a step further and seriously consider fully funding girls field hockey for the 2016-2017 school year if the money is available in the FY17 budget.

“This doesn’t mean [the funding] is an absolute,” School Board member Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) cautioned a lively crowd of more than 100 field hockey players before the vote.

If the board next year decides not to fund the sport—with an estimated $570,000 in startup costs—the newly amended policy would still allow girls field hockey to play in the VHSL, which means teams can compete for state titles and players can try for varsity letters. As it stood, sports could only compete under their school’s name if they were fully funded by the school system.

Athletes and their parents who packed the boardroom late May 26 didn’t seem to focus on

who would foot the bill next school year. Their attention was on opportunity to play field hockey in their school colors.

The board’s decision prompted a roar of cheers, not only from field hockey players but also supporters of crew and boys volleyball—two other club sports that have sought varsity status.

Adare McCann, a Dominion High School freshman sporting her club’s T-shirt, broke down in tears.

“This means so much to me because so many players have been pushing for this for a long time,” she said. Competing in a varsity sport as opposed to a club sport will likely mean more attention from colleges, she added. “This is huge for so many girls. It will be a giant step toward playing in college.”

Speaking to the board’s policy change, School Board member Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) said that it provides a stepping-stone for leagues to prove that they have the draw to be a fully funded varsity sport. “I think this policy allows flexibility in the future as new sports want to come in,” Bergel said. “We’ve talked about school choice. Well, this is sports choice.”

The one dissenting vote on the policy change came from Brenda Sheridan (Sterling), who said she was concerned that a school system sport that relied on a parent group for support and funds would result in inequities for students.

She cited Stone Bridge and Briar Wood high schools’ athletic booster club’s annual fund of $85,000 as compared with that of Park View High School’s of $18,000. “So the inequality is obvious.” n

Small Steps to Better Health This Summer

S

ummer is here, and staying healthy this season doesn’t have to mean overhauling your lifestyle. Sometimes small changes can have big impacts.

Take it from celebrity fitness trainer, Latreal “La” Mitchell, “Everyone can reach their health and fitness goals. It’s all about setting attainable goals and staying motivated to see results.” To look, feel and live better, Mitchell is offering tips for small lifestyle changes you can make that can inspire you to make more in the future: GET MOVING

If exercise is not a part of your life now, don’t worry. “In a short time, you can be doing quality exercises,” says Mitchell.

“The key is to start small.”

Try short sets of push-ups, planks, squats, and lunges and work your way up.

Ten minutes can make a real difference.

Remember, little things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator will keep you feeling great all day.

Just be sure to make exercise non-negotiable. Life is busy, and it’s easy to find any number of reasons to skip a workout.

EAT RIGHT

The small goal of adding more fiber to your diet can lead you to better nutrition choices. Aim to get 25 to 38 grams of fi-

ber every day. In addition to upping your fruit and vegetable intake and swapping out processed white bread and pasta for the whole-wheat variety, fiber supplements can help you meet your fiber goals. But choose wisely, as some options have additional benefits beyond supporting digestive health. For example, products made with psyllium fiber have multi-health benefits.

For many people, snacking can be a downfall, especially during a busy workday. Try substituting your usual temptations with healthier options. For example, almonds and light popcorn are a good substitute for chips and are more satisfying. If you have a sweet tooth, look for a delicious, easy-to-pack snack like a fruity health bar that helps satisfy hunger.

STAY HYDRATED

Lastly, skip sugary sodas and sports drinks and opt for water throughout the day. If you need a boost of flavor, add a lemon wedge, cucumber or orange slice, or some fresh herbs. Water helps you feel full and process fiber, while helping to keep you hydrated.

Bad habits are hard to break. But by making small changes one at a time, you can overcome your hurdles for a healthier lifestyle. (StatePoint)

ebutantes in white dresses dancing the foxtrot may seem like something from a Hollywood movie or a British novel.

But cotillion programs are making a comeback around the country. And locally, hundreds of young people from kindergarten through high school are learning everything from which fork to use to how to talk with a prospective employer through the Loudoun Cotillion.

In the past, the cotillion programs and debutante balls were a way for upper-class parents to introduce their daughters to society.

And while debutante balls are still popular in many U.S. cities (especially in the South), there hasn’t been a strong cotillion tradition in Loudoun.

But Loudoun Cotillion Director Jean Ann Michie is intent on opening the phenomenon to a wider range of young people whose families are looking to reinforce the ideas of good manners and a sense of respect for self and others.

The Loudoun program has dancing and

etiquette components along with a broader goal to develop integrity and a sense of service. There are classes for girls and boys in elementary through high school, as well as a debutante season for high school girls.

Michie, 62, launched her Loudoun franchise of the National League of Junior Cotillions more than a decade ago, and held her first debutante season in 2011. She now operates cotillion programs in several locations across Loudoun and will launch two new ones in Ashburn and Lansdowne this fall.

Beloved by cotillion participants, Michie is a former dancer and mother of seven children ranging in age from 14 to 34. Her three youngest children all have been involved with the cotillion program. Michie herself was not a debutante, but the idea was instantly appealing when she heard about the program from a friend involved with the Fairfax chapter.

“I was amazed and thrilled to find out about it,” she said. “It kind of encompasses all the things I was trying to teach my children, and now I feel like I’m serving the community. … I’m trying to teach them ways to show respect and give gifts to people through being respectful and being aware when you walk into a room.”

“It kind of encompasses all the things I was trying to teach my children...I’m trying to teach them ways to show respect and give gifts to people through being respectful and being aware when you walk into a room.”

Jean Ann Michie Loudoun Cotillion Director

Michie now teaches her students the basics of ballroom dancing, table manners and how to interact socially—from sending thank you notes and making eye contact for younger children, to business and dating etiquette for older teens.

Michie offers a Pre-Cotillion class for children in kindergarten through grade 4, Junior Cotillion for children in grades 5 to 7 and separate programs for eighth-graders and high-schoolers.

The high school program focuses on taking students to events and giving them an opportunity to put what they’ve learned in cotillion to use in the real world. Participants are required to dress nicely for all cotillion meetings and activities, and each cotillion group from fifth grade up ends the season

with a dinner and ball.

Michie stresses the importance of oldschool ballroom dancing as a way for tweens and teens to make authentic and age-appropriate connections without using electronics.

“It’s an appropriate social setting where people can make eye contact, read each other’s body language and start a conversation,” she said.

GETTING THE BASICS

Like many cotillion kids, Wes Townsend, a fifth-grader at Banneker Elementary School near Middleburg, was initially pushed into the program by his parents. But he’s come to enjoy it during the past school year. An avid Continued on Page 32

lacrosse player, hunter and car enthusiast, Wes initially was resistant, and his mother, Lucy, said she initially had doubts about whether he’d take to it.

“But then I kind of went with it, and I agreed to do it,” Wes said. “I like how they teach you manners. It’s very laid back and calm. …

I’ve enjoyed learning how to dance and set a table properly.”

Michie said she was able to make an initial connection with Wes by talking with him about hunting and the etiquette required to help hunters stay safe.

“After that, boom, he was in. He’s already signed up again for this year. He has a smile on his face, and he’s happy to be there,” Michie said.

“They might complain a little bit, but they’re ready to go,” she added of her younger students.

In many ways, the Loudoun Cotillion debutante program is a lot like the debutante programs of old. But the new generation is focused not so much on finding a husband as in days past, but instead on community service and developing social skills that will not only help them navigate the sometimes challenging territory of contemporary dating, but also will help them enter the professional world.

Paige LeRiche, 21, of Sterling was a member of Michie’s first debutante class in 2011. The Potomac Falls High School graduate recently finished her junior year at Christopher Newport University. Starting Michie’s cotillion program in seventh grade was her parents’ idea, LeRiche said, but she was quickly hooked after getting involved.

“It was something that my parents found, and they thought it would be really great. I was already a well-mannered young person, but this was a way to meet all kinds of other people and a

BramBleton $569,525

way to have all these experiences,” she said, “[The debutante program] was a great way to top off the whole [cotillion] experience.”

The inaugural 2011 debutante ball at Belmont Country Club was “magical,” she said.

Each debutante had a marshal (or dance partner), and in many cases, the girls chose boys they had met through the cotillion program. LeRiche was thrilled that her marshal, Dane Mullins, a longtime cotillion friend, was such a great dancer.

LeRiche has a multi-ethnic heritage and is of African-American, Vietnamese and Caucasian descent. And with no family history of debutante and cotillions, she was excited to share the program with her extended family at the ball.

“I know some of the other girls invited friends, but for me it was more of a family event showing these are all the things that I’d learned: my time to show them what cotillion was about and how I feel I’ve developed as a young woman,” she said.

LeRiche also loved getting to know her fellow debutantes by working on service projects, including a coat drive and other benefit events.

“There’s no quicker way to bond these young ladies than to have them do service projects together, and it also teaches them leadership,” Michie said. “Service is, to me, the ultimate manners.” n Loudoun Cotillion’s 2015 debutante season for girls in grades 10-12 kicks off June 12 and runs through Nov. 21, with space still available for new participants.

The cotillion program runs from October through March at locations in Purcellville, Ashburn, Lansdowne, South Riding and Potomac Falls. Michie will hold a meeting for parents interested in any location on Tuesday, June 9, at 7:30 p.m. at the Golf Club at Lansdowne Clubhouse east of Leesburg.

Unstable Landscape

T

he 2015 political silly season has been more active than usual, capped this week by the un-retirement announcement by the county’s longest serving elected chairman at large and the emergence of a former sheriff seeking to reclaim the office.

One candidate has taken his inter-party disputes to the court-

house. Another pulled up on the sideline after the publicizing of past misdeeds. And other political veterans have taken themselves out of the race for reasons political or personal.

The result is a local electoral landscape about as unstable as it

has ever been.

That will change quickly, however.

Starting Tuesday, the list of names to appear on the Nov. 3

ballot will be locked in. It then becomes the voters’ responsibility to begin their study of the field in earnest. Each will be asked to select two supervisors, two school board members, a delegate, a state senator, and five constitutional officers. Countywide, there will be 33 local and state races to sort through.

The incumbent candidates have track records, allowing their

leadership skills, effectiveness, integrity and priorities to be judged.

The challengers bring their own accomplishments and skill sets to evaluate.

The wrangling that has occurred during the nomination battles

in recent weeks will be long forgotten by Election Day. As is well evidenced by the results in recent elections, Loudoun’s voters aren’t much swayed by allegiance to specific political parties. Instead, they support those who best articulate a shared vision for the county’s future.

Articulating that vision will be the charge to the candidates in

the months ahead, but it also will be the responsibility of the voters to research their choices. The outcome will determine whether you have a government you can be proud of—one that improves the quality of life for the county’s residents—or one that falls short.

Silly season is over. The real work begins now.

LETTERS to the editor Teens Should Care

I

Dear Editor: want you to care about politics.

So often, it seems like there’s no point. We frequently get news of scandals, gridlock, and power plays—apathy becomes so easy.

I think that at some level, most of us teens know that the government can be changed by the people. It’s hard, though, and it takes time. The slow pace of change causes us to lose interest.

Keep in mind, however, that politics affect you every day. You may not think about it often, but local government controls the public schools; state government controls the roads. So, if you go to a public school or drive on a public road, you are subject to the government. Those are but two minor examples.

Government is the only institu-

tion that can legally use force on people. I realized that I had to care about politics when I realized that the essence of government is legalized force. Think about it. Only government has the authority to make regulations and dispense justice. Such an organization needs to be watched closely. Luckily, in America, we can influence government. And teens can, too.

Here are three compelling reasons to care about politics: 1. Politics do affect you. Often I hear people say, “But politics don’t affect me!” That’s simply not true. The reach of government is far, affecting matters from the price of gasoline to the availability of jobs. Most importantly, the decisions made by those in power affect your freedoms every day.

2. You can make a difference. Some of my friends get a sense of hopelessness when the subject of politics comes up. The mentality is, “Nothing Continued on Page 45

a nine-foot-high triptych painting titled “The Flight of Ed White” by Clyde Beck, an artist from nearby Bluemont. I bought it on the spot. My wife insisted that I hang it on my side of our fourposter bed.

The figure of Ed White in all three panels is the same: a simple silhouette image of an astronaut. The work is not “painted” with a brush, but is carried out in a carefully achieved series of paint droplets, in the manner of Jackson Pollock.

The first panel shows the image of Ed White, in black paint, alone, on a white background. It represents the “idea” that he wished to achieve.

The larger center panel, in blue, green, white, and black, depicts White’s actual walk in space, with a shadow of his figure cast on the distant planet Earth. The final image represents the price he paid for his daring: burning to death in his uniform.

I have very few heroes. Ed White is one of them. Now, half-a-century later, the three panels are fixed to the ceiling in my bedroom: a reminder that we advance each day on roads and paths achieved by the triumphs and suffering of others.

PREVENTING TICK BITES

C l as si fi e d

Dear Editor:

In reference to last week’s article “Former Sheriff Simpson’s Run causes GOP Angst,” it’s interesting to note Loudoun GOP Chairman Mike Haynes is critical of Sheriff Simpson’s unannounced plan to run as an independent candidate for Loudoun County Sheriff.

He states that “Loudoun County voters want elected officials to stand for something and not just be in politics for selfish reasons.” He further states, “…if he is going to run for office as an independent…we will make every effort to defeat him in November just as we will the Democrat in the race.” Remember that Chairman York did much the same thing when he switched parties, ran and won as independent candidate for county supervisor and most recently ran and was elected chairman as a Republican. There is talk that Mr. York may again seek the chairman’s position as an independent candidate.

Will Mr. Haynes’ assessment and commitment to defeat hold true if Mr. York, the Loudoun County Citizen of the Year, runs again as an independent? What about Mr. Williams?

R.G. DiMuzio, Ashburn

Dear Editor:

Fifty years ago, on June 3, 1965, Edward Higgins White II became the first person to walk in space. Less than two years later he died, on Jan. 27, 1967, in the Gemini space capsule disaster at Cape Canaveral with fellow astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and Roger B. Chaffee. Ed White was 36 years old.

In the autumn of 1967, my wife and I moved to the historic village of Waterford, in Loudoun County, Virginia. The first Thursday evening in October we attended the local art show that precedes the annual Waterford Homes Tour and Craft Exhibit, known as the Waterford Fair. There, on the wall of the barn that housed the event, was

can be done! I can’t make a difference.” Again, the idea that nobody can make a difference is balderdash. Less than 60 percent of the eligible population will even bother to vote, even on a presidential election year. As a teen, merely being willing to discuss and think about politics makes a difference, because discussion is where opinions are formed. I’m not asking you to “get involved.” I just want you to think about the issues.

3. Politics can be unpleasant, but they control your freedom. So often, I hear, “Politics are disgusting; they’re a twisted game for power, and I don’t want to be involved with that.” Yep, sometimes, they are. Power attracts corruption.

That’s precisely why the workings of government warrant the attention and vigilance of every citizen.

All over America, teens get involved in political efforts without even being old enough to vote yet. Why? Because they understand that they are part of the next generation of leadership. They don’t want to be part of an apathetic sheeple.

I want you to care, just a little tiny bit.

Listen to politicians and try to determine what principles they hold. Keep up with current events. Figure out what you believe.

Remember, your freedom is what’s at stake.

by the International Lyme Associated Disease Society, of which Shor is president-elect, say that Lyme can be a chronic illness that can have severe lasting impacts if not treated. The society also lauds Shor’s research that shows that the two diagnostic tests pushed by the CDC fail to detect the bacteria that causes Lyme about half the time.

“Unfortunately, because of the insensitivities of these tests, people who’ve tested negative but still have these symptoms of chronic Lyme disease are being battered and bounced around [in search of treatment],” Shor said.

Even though there are two sets of published guidelines, most health insurance companies and health departments at the state and county levels adhere to the CDC’s.

That’s meant patients with Lyme are left to pay out of pocket for any long-term treatment, Shor added.

“Their guidelines are held as law—as

LOUDOUN’S ROLE

Even with Shor at its helm, Loudoun’s Lyme commission has not formally taken a stand on the debate over how to treat the disease, and likely won’t, according to Goodfriend.

“The current Board of Supervisors have given us a charge and the current charge is to provide education to the public primarily in the form of prevention,” Goodfriend said. “It really is about those daily steps that people can take.

Reminding people to protect themselves, protect their family—that we can do.”

Shor agrees that the most cost effective approach is to push prevention. But, he added, it’s still worth the effort—one he described as a David-versus-Goliath task—to convince the general medical community to consider alternatives to improve the health of those who have Lyme.

“I think awareness is first and foremost, but then what do you do about the people who are sick,” he asked. “So I am hoping that the wider medical community will be more accepting of a balanced interpretation of the literature and a more balanced approach.”

There have been recent small victories.

George Mason University researchers— with the help of a clinical trial through Shor’s office, Internal Medicine of Northern Virginia in Reston—developed a new diagnostic “nanotrap” test that literally traps the bacteria that causes Lyme, allowing earlier and more accurate detection. The test is expected to be commercially available soon through Ceres Nanosciences Inc. Progress also is slowly being made on the treatment side. A couple of months ago, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield authorized the use of an azithromycin antibiotic at a more-thanstandard dosage to treat one of Shor’s patients.

“That’s a small step,” he said. “But it’s something.” n
