Leesburg OKs Partial Demolitions For New Courthouse Sports

Spring Cleaning

The Loudoun County Courthouse monuments are undergoing their once-a-decade maintenance routine this week, just in time for Memorial Day. Alex Condor, pictured, and other workers from Standard Restoration & Waterproofing scraped off a coat of marble poultice from each of the war memorials before applying a new coat thereafter. For a listing of Memorial Day events, see Page 22.

eesburg’s Board of Architectural Review on Monday night approved permits allowing the Loudoun government to partially demolish four historic district buildings on Edwards Ferry. However, that action may fall short of what is needed to permit the expansion of the county courts complex to move forward. The issue likely heads next to the Town Council. In a motion passed on a 5-1-1 vote, with Mark Malloy opposed and Paul Reimers absent, the BAR allowed the county to tear down parts of the four buildings—additions built in the early 1800s that are deemed non-historic—but required the origi-

nal structures to be preserved in their original footprints. The panel also required the county, represented in the case by Dewberry Architects Inc., to conduct various studies on the buildings to identify any information important to Leesburg’s history. Last week, the county Board of Supervisors reviewed options to save all, parts or some of the buildings, which the architects say must be removed to accommodate the construction of a new General District Court building on the former county jail site east of Church Street. According to a staff report, the option to save all the buildings could add $7.8 million to the $87 million project. Redesigning the project to save the building with the most historic value at 112

606 interchange and at the Rt. 50 interchanges planned at Northstar Boulevard, Gum Springs Road and Loudoun County Parkway. Another option would instead build a new four-lane limited access highway from Northstar Boulevard north of Rt. 50 following the Broad Run floodplain to the intersection of Arcola Road and Rt. 606. Residents in neighborhoods such as South Riding, Stone Ridge and Kirkpatrick Farms favored that route, while those in Brambleton supported the Rt. 50 plan. The Kimley-Horn report, however, says that Rt. 50 doesn’t need lanes dedicated to airport

traffic, and that even if 6 million square feet of land was developed in the area, generating a work force of 10,000 employees, Loudoun’s planned road system still would function properly. That network, which would be built out by 2040, would include: • widening Rt. 606 to a minimum of six lanes (limited access); • constructing and widening Loudoun County Parkway to six lanes; • building Arcola Boulevard to six lanes; • completing Northstar to a width of six lanes; • widening Rt. 50 to six lanes with limited access;

t’s not necessary to build a new road to provide access to Dulles Airport from the west, according to a report that was to be presented Wednesday to Loudoun supervisors. The county’s planned road network can handle the development projected for the airport and for the western Dulles area as a whole without a new east-west roadway, says the document prepared by consultant Kimley-Horn. “Even at the heaviest saturation in the PM

peak hour, there are few links that exceed capacity,” it says. The Virginia Department of Transportation in 2013 began assessing the need for a new road that could help move cargo traffic and serve other needs, and last year the agency announced that its preferred route would be in the median of Rt. 50. The idea is that Rt. 50 would have six lanes for general traffic and two lanes where the median is now—one eastbound and one westbound—reserved for vehicles going to and from Dulles Airport. In addition, access to the airport lanes would be provided at the Rt. 50/Rt.

Loudoun School Leaders May Endorse VHSL Status For Club Sports

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

oudoun County school leaders want to give students in less popular sports a shot at state championships—and more attention from college recruiters—without having to foot a hefty bill to support another varsity sport. A School Board committee is considering a policy tweak to allow the school division to give a club sport the needed nod to compete in the Virginia High School League, but not provide full funding for it.

VHSL governs interscholastic activities in Virginia’s public high schools. To compete against other VHSL school teams, a sport must be endorsed by a public school system. “Right now, students are being penalized because they can’t compete,” Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said. “If we cannot find the funding for another new athletic program, this would still allow a way for those kids to compete.” Board members were prompted to consider changing division policy late last year after a group of parents urged them to add girls field hockey as an official Loudoun County Public Schools sport.

he Leesburg Town Council last week appointed a seven-member commission charged with promoting diversity in the town workforce— a topic that spurred controversy during and after the meeting. The initiative was approved two months ago following more than a year of talks about whether the municipality could do more to ensure the government’s workforce reflects the

ensuring that all minorities are aware of job opportunities available in the town government. It will not have the power to investigate, examine or analyze hiring practices by town staff, which was one of the initial recommendations by residents who urged the council to create the panel. The commission will begin meetings in July, and Deputy Town Manager Keith Markel said the next step would be to set up an orientation meeting. Councilman Tom Dunn objected to the

diverse makeup of the population. According to statistics provided to the council in late 2013, slightly more than 60 percent of the town’s population was white, but that racial group made up 90 percent of the town government workforce. A task force was created to review the concern, and a recommendation for a formal Diversity Commission followed. “Reading over the résumés, this is a very good and diverse group,” Councilwoman Suzanne Fox said.

new varsity sport would require an estimated $570,000 in start-up costs. “Looking at the budget, we don’t have the funding to move forward with any additional sports,” Jeff Morse (Dulles), who helped draft the proposed policy change, said. “But this would make it possible for a sport to become part of the community without it being paid for by LCPS.” Under the proposal, student-athletes would pay a $100 activity fee, just as they do to participate in any other school division sport, and those funds would be given back to the parent organization overseeing the league Continued on Page 66

A 63-year-old Middleburg accountant will serve two years in prison for embezzling more than $900,000, a Circuit Court judge ruled May 5. Boonlomp Soonthornchai was a partner in the accounting firm of Yount, Hyde and Barbour, P.C. for more than 30 years. As an accountant in the firm’s Middleburg office, Soonthornchai performed trustee, executor and accounting services for a number of trusts and estates that were clients of the firm. Prosecutors said that beginning in Boonlomp Soonthornchai 2004, Soonthornchai began depositing money from various trusts and estates into his personal accounts. He mislabeled the source of these deposits in his personal ledger. When confronted by firm board members and attorneys, Soonthornchai admitted to several of the thefts. Soonthornchai entered Alford pleas of guilty to three counts of embezzlement on Feb. 9. Prior to sentencing, Soonthornchai had repaid restitution in excess of $938,000 to the victims.

In Loudoun County Circuit Court on April 29, Judge Benjamin N. A. Kendrick sentenced Aleksander Kavon Shamloo, 28, to 20 years and 12 months in prison—with all but six years and six months suspended—in connection with a series of burglaries in Leesburg and Ashburn in December 2012 and January 2013. Shamloo pleaded guilty to 10 counts of breaking and entering, nine counts of grand larceny, one count of obtaining by false pretense, and one count of unlawful entry. He was convicted of a series of burglaries throughout downtown Leesburg that began in December 2012. Businesses, residences and churches were broken into and various items and money were stolen. He also pleaded guilty

ark Robert Firehammer, 46, was sentenced by Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Burke F. McCahill on May 8 to serve one year and three months in prison and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine after being found guilty of one count of driving while intoxicated—third or subsequent offense, one count of child abuse and neglect, and one count of felony hit and run. The court case follows a July 9, 2014, crash that occurred while Firehammer was driving home after taking his 12-year-old son to an appointment and a restaurant in Leesburg. He ran off the road, hit a wooden fence and struck and uprooted a tree. After exiting the vehicle to assess the damage, Firehammer returned to his damaged Jeep and drove away from the scene with his son. According to evidence in the case, a Loudoun County deputy dispatched to the Mark Firehammer scene of the crash then was called to Firehammer’s home where the driver said he had struck the tree four to five hours earlier in the day. Firehammer failed a series of field sobriety tests administered by the deputy and was subsequently arrested. He pleaded guilty to the charges Feb. 2. Evidence in the sentencing hearing showed a history of alcohol abuse. In the late 1990s, Firehammer was convicted in an alcohol-related driving incident in California. In 2008, he was convicted in Arizona of “DUI while under the extreme influence of intoxicating liquor.” In 2011, he was convicted in Loudoun County of DUI and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. In the 2011 incident, Firehammer was found passed out in his vehicle in a turn lane on the Leesburg Bypass with his two sons, ages 7 and 8 at the time, as backseat passengers. “Seeing these types of incidents are very frustrating for prosecutors,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman, in announcing last week’s sentence. “The defendant’s repeated alcohol abuse continues to place citizens in danger, to include his own children. Since multiple court contacts have yet to deter his behavior, our next step will be to bring him back before the Circuit Court upon his release and request the Court enter an order of Interdiction.” An Order of Interdiction would prohibit the offender from consuming, purchasing or pos-

sessing alcoholic beverages. In addition to the active prison sentence, McCahill imposed an additional 11 years and nine months of suspended time, ordered Firehammer to be placed on five years of supervised probation upon his release, pay $1,640 in restitution, and revoked his driver’s license.

to burglarizing four homes in Ashburn that were burglarized by the same suspect in January 2013. He was busted after Leesburg Police detectives found a Xbox gaming system that was stolen during one of the burglaries at Gamestop in Leesburg. They were able to identify Shamloo as the suspect through Gamestop’s transaction records. Additional stolen property was found in Shamloo’s residence. Two other individuals, Marissa Taylor Arpajian and Donovan Patrick Gallagher, were involved in the thefts. Arpajian received a 12-month deferred finding on a trespassing charge for her role in the burglaries. Her charge was dismissed after her completion of 12 months of supervised probation and 756 hours of community service. Gallagher pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a convicted felon on April 12, 2013, and was sentenced to five years in prison with all but two years suspended, according to the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office.

ATTEMPTED RAPE SUSPECT GETS 10 YEARS

Sports

Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Jeanette A. Irby on May 4 sentenced Tchalim Koboya Lidawo, 22, to 10 years in prison and a fine of $5,000 after he pleaded no contest to one count of

attempted rape and one count of abduction by force. The sentence stems from a June 14, 2014, assault at an Ashburn apartment complex. A woman taking out her garbage was grabbed Tchalim Koboya Lidawo and pulled into the woods. The victim’s screams attracted the attention of a passerby to see what was happening. The suspect ran away. The victim was able to provide a description of the suspect, leading to Lidawo’s arrest. Irby imposed a sentence nearly double the high end of the recommended Virginia Sentencing Guidelines. “You engaged in violent, unacceptable, completely inappropriate behavior,” Irby told Lidawo. “When you commit a violent offense, you should be punished commensurate with the offense.” Lidawo, is a native of Togo and had been in the U.S. for only a week when the crime occurred. He may be subject to deportation following his release. n

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. Ren H -– yelp review

lthough he’ll turn 90 Friday, Sam Winstead spent last weekend finishing a 350-mile bike trek from Raleigh, NC, to Washington, DC. “He’s made of steel,” fellow cyclist Mansour Safdari said. Winstead, a World War II veteran, completed the fourth annual Sam’s Ride for Peace to support world peace and harmony. Winstead, Safdari and a small group of cyclists stopped in Leesburg before embarking on their final stretch to the nation’s capital May 16. “I thought it would be a great experience to ride with Sam,” said Safdari, who participated in a peace ride from his home country of Iran to China last year. “In my wildest imagination, I didn’t think a 90-year-old could ride stronger than young people.” Winstead was a Marine stationed on Pacific islands during the war. He said he separated himself from war after seeing the “worst of the worst over there.” About 70 years later, he received a letter from his grandson, who was deployed to Iraq. The

letter read: “Granddaddy, I am so distressed. The people don’t want us here. We don’t want to be here. We are tearing this country apart!” Winstead said he “felt like I needed to get off my [butt] and do something,” so he started the peace ride challenge. Four years later, he’s still going strong by taking his personal message of peace to the U.S. Capitol. The group rode 40 to 60 miles a day during the weeklong journey. Safdari said there was a spot in Culpeper through the mountains where he thought Winstead would need to ride in the support team truck rather than bike. “We were on a difficult, hilly road, and the support team caught up to Sam. I asked Sam if he wanted to get in the truck and he said, ‘I’d rather you get a rope,’” Safdari said. “He wasn’t stopping for anything.” The group’s final day included a stop at the Iwo Jima Memorial before finishing the ride on the Arlington Memorial Bridge.

Home Specialty Moving From Leesburg To Reston

Leesburg Today/Mike Stancik

After operating for more than a decade in the downtown area of Market Street, the Home Specialty Store is moving to Reston.

Just moments before Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd cut a ribbon to signal the official opening of a Leesburg Chipotle, manager Julia Teran told the 30-plus customers in attendance, “We are so happy to be here.” “We’re even happier that you’re here!” an excited patron screamed from the line that had formed outside the front door. After years of wishing for the Mexican eatery to come to Leesburg, local residents got their first taste of the new location May 14. “Are you all ready?” Vice Mayor Kelly Burk asked those in line. “Yeah!” said nearly each person in attendance. Leesburg Councilwoman Katie Sheldon Hammler and county Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) also were in attendance for the ribbon-cutting. Once the ribbon was cut, customers flooded the building, located at 1001 Edwards Ferry Road. More information on the chain can be found at chipotle.com.

Market St., the store is owned by Wayne and Lynn Baker. The George C.

2,500 pounds of meat; the house, a full-service bar area with seating for up to 90 and two huge garage doors that open up to a small patio area; and live, an intimate music entertainment venue with standing room for up to 250. Live also will serve as a semi-private event space for receptions, business meetings and other special events. “Smokehouse Live is the culmination of decades of experience opening and running restaurants around the world, competing on the barbecue circuit, and our shared love of the hospitality industry,” Diemar said. “The greatest part about Smokehouse Live is, while it’s a big space with a lot going on under one roof, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy while you’re here.” Foss and Executive Chef Bryan Yealy will handle the meat-cooking duties and side items, while Yealy’s daughter, Jessica, will serve as pastry chef for a wide array of desserts—including cakes, pies, tarts, whoopie pies, puffs, puddings and ice cream. The meats, which include lean or wet brisket, beef short ribs, pulled pork, spare ribs, buttermilk-brined turkey breast, chicken, and two kinds of sausages, can be bought by weight. So a patron could buy six bones of ribs or a pound of pulled pork. “You can get however little or as much as you want of a certain item,” Foss said. Foss plans on never preparing meat the day before it’s served. He wants all meats to go directly from the smoker to the table in the same day. “There’s going to be a constant flow of fresh barbecue coming out of the pits,” he said. On Sundays, Smokehouse Live will offer a Southern brunch buffet from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The $19.95 buffet will include a scrambled eggs station, biscuit French toast, cheddar biscuits and a poached egg topped with hollandaise sauce, a Thanksgiving casserole with pit-smoked turkey, mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing. Sunday brunches will feature an alternating schedule of Americana roots, bluegrass, jazz and country artists on stage.

oudoun Water’s Board of Directors voted last week to move forward with a controversial water tower to be built on the south side of Red Hill Road and Stone School Lane. The board voted 8-1, with director Charles McKinney opposed, to authorize design of the 189-foot-tall, 1-million-gallon water storage tank that county supervisors approved in November. After the design is complete, bids will go out for construction. The May 14 vote came after Loudoun Water’s board agreed Feb. 12 to defer a decision on the Red Hill tower, and that turn of events had concerned some, especially neighbors near the proposed tower site, many of whom have private wells and don’t use public water. Loudoun Water board Chairman Johnny Rocca said at that time, however, that the deferral didn’t mean that the tower wouldn’t be built as planned but that the postponement would give engineers more time to scrutinize the situation. He said May 15 that the agency felt it had to act now because water will be needed for schools that will be built in the area the tank would serve. Loudoun Supervisor Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge), who represents that part of the county, also has pushed for Loudoun Water to examine whether a tank could be built at ground level instead of being elevated. That way, residents wouldn’t have to see it reaching so high into the sky. But Rocca said that option would cost about $16 million, or some $12 million more than the current plan. It also would incur annual mainte-

nance costs of $100,000, he said, instead of about $17,000 for the elevated tank. At least some of the additional construction cost comes from pumps and other infrastructure that would be necessary for the on-the-ground alternative. The elevated tank doesn’t need those because its operation is aided by gravity. Rocca said that if the cost difference were not so high, then Loudoun Water could consider building the lower-sitting water storage unit. However, he said, it would be irresponsible to push forward with such a pricey endeavor, and the wishes of a few shouldn’t trump “many hundreds” more who aren’t upset. Clarke appeared at the May 14 meeting, but she said the next day that she doesn’t believe it was properly advertised so that the public had time to attend. She also objected to the placement of the Red Hill item on the Board of Directors’ agenda. The supervisor said that Loudoun Water’s directors seem to just want the issue “off their plate.” “That’s very obvious,” she said. But Rocca said that the board listened at its meeting to those who are opposed to the Red Hill tank and that it’s simply time to move forward now that the new schools will need the water. He also said that Loudoun Water discussed the matter in accordance with the law. This particular tank has been talked about since November 2013, he said, and the agency has had seven or eight meetings about it just since last fall. “It’s not something that’s come up in the last few weeks,” Rocca said. Loudoun Water doesn’t want to rush the work, he said, but the officials there feel they’ve “done everything we can possibly do.”

be getting a movie theater close to home, following a Board of Supervisors’ vote last week. Supervisors made amendments to previously approved plans for the Peterson Cos.’ 30-acre Avonlea Town Center development. Located at the southeast quadrant of Rt. 50 and Pinebrook Road, the project will have 122,500 square feet of retail space, a health club, a grocery store, and 40,000 square feet of office space. And the developers announced one of their anchor tenants May 15: Cinépolis. The fastexpanding, upscale chain aims to build its first Virginia movie theater on the site. The 32,000-square-foot cinema is slated to feature reclining leather seats, in-theater waiters, gourmet meals and full bar service. Plans call for 11 screens and nearly 750 seats, and construction is expected to begin later this year. n

in media exposure last year just through the county’s name being shown on Washington Redskins broadcasts, team representatives said Monday night. Redskins executives announced the statistic in an update on the county-team marketing partnership presented to the Board of Supervisors’ Economic Development Committee. It referred to the value of having a Loudoun logo placed on a backdrop appearing behind those speaking during football television programming. Such backgrounds are a common sight in sports telecasts, usually situated behind coaches and players being asked questions at postgame press conferences. Loudoun supervisors agreed in 2012 to an eight-year marketing deal with the Redskins, and the county expects to reap rewards from the partnership that are worth more than four times the $2 million the locality is spending on it. That is, the locality is looking to receive more than $8 million in total value during the term of the contract. The $2 million county investment is coming from a portion of revenue from the transient occupancy tax paid by customers of hotels, motels and the like. Scott Shepherd, Redskins senior vice president of special events and vice president of sales, marketing and strategic alliances, told supervisors Monday night that Loudoun also received more than 1,000 on-air mentions last year on teambased digital programming. And the county was identified as the home of Redskins Park in more than 240 press releases, he said. The locality also is boosted every time Redskins executive and broadcast personality Larry Michael refers to Ashburn as the “heart of Loudoun County,” on camera, team representatives pointed out Monday.

REDSKINS: BROADCASTS GAVE LOUDOUN $2.3M IN TV TIME Loudoun received more than $2.3 million

They showed supervisors a video that contained a compilation of Michael saying the key phrase several times, and that showed him saying, “Thank you to Loudoun County, the best place to call home. Hail to the Redskins, and hail to Loudoun County, Virginia.” In addition, Shepherd announced that the NFL squad would hold an open practice at Redskins Park for area residents this year. ’Skins backers can attend “Loudoun County Fan Appreciation Day” on Aug. 23. Supervisor Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) said that such events delight fans, especially considering that some were upset when the team moved its training camp from Ashburn to Richmond. Being able to see players up close is a “big deal” for team aficionados, Williams said. Board Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) praised the overall marketing partnership, and he made a special request, as well: “We’d love to see you move a stadium out here,” he told the team representatives.

Reagan National Continues To Soar, Dulles To Sputter

nother strong month at Reagan National Airport was able to offset continued weakness at Dulles Airport, according to the latest passenger counts from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. A total of 1.93 million passengers traveled through Reagan National during March, up a whopping 13.6 percent from a year before, according to figures reported May 18. At Dulles, results were anemic, with the passenger count of 1.65 million down 6.2 percent from March 2014 figures. Add both airports together, and the yearover-year passenger total rose 3.6 percent, slightly above the national average as reported by Airlines for America, a trade group. At Reagan National, the growth is being fueled by additional flights from Southwest, Virgin America and JetBlue, which picked up slots divested by the combined American Airlines/US Airways. Passenger totals from a year before are up 53 percent at JetBlue, 150 percent at Southwest and 203 percent at Virgin America. Despite losing takeoff and landing slots in order to win federal regulatory approval for their merger, the combined passenger total of American and US Airways was down just 2.4 percent. Those two carriers, which continue to operate as two brands although they have merged corporate structures, have a market share of 51 percent at National, counting regional affiliates. Rounding out the top five are Delta (13.9 percent), Southwest (13 percent), JetBlue (8.4 percent) and United (7.7 percent). The passenger count at Dulles has been hurt by two factors: a downsizing by dominant United and the departure of some other carriers for Reagan National and/or Baltimore-Washington International Airport, operated by Maryland. United’s passenger activity at Dulles in March was down 14.3 percent from a year before, with the carrier having discontinued 13 domestic destinations and reduced service to others, while adding flights to a lesser number of destinations. JetBlue and American/US Airways also have seen reduced passenger counts after having eliminated some service at Dulles. International travel, which had been one bright spot at Dulles in recent months, was down 4.6 percent year-over-year in March–not as big a decline as the 6.9-percent drop in domestic passengers, but still headed in the wrong direction. United remains the biggest carrier at Dulles, but its 63-percent market share in March was down from 69 percent a year before. Rounding out the top five for the month were American/US Airways (5.2 percent), Delta (4.7 percent), Frontier (3.2 percent) and Southwest (2.7 percent).

Eustis descendants donated the property to the National Trust for Historic Preservation in 1966, with its continuing management run by a local board of directors. O’Connor said the nonprofit would undertake a national search for the next executive director in cooperation with the trust. The two organizations are developing a job description that will be posted shortly on the Oatlands and trust websites. “The trust is fully on board to participate in a national search, and we all look forward to making a good, seamless transition,” O’Connor said. The board of directors was informed of McGimsey’s decision to resign several days ago, O’Conner said. “We wish her well in her future efforts.” n

and • constructing Westwind Drive to a width of four lanes. Businesses projected to be built near Dulles Airport probably would be in industries such as air cargo, air support, general aviation, or even in sectors such as general office, hotel conference center or retail. VDOT hasn’t moved forward with plans for a western Dulles access road because a state law passed last year changed the process by which transportation projects are prioritized. It seeks to allocate money first to those projects that do the most to relieve congestion. The Loudoun Board of Supervisors also hasn’t officially taken a position on western Dulles access, although Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said Monday night that he agreed with the Kimley-Horn report’s conclusion about the lanes in Rt. 50’s median. “I’ve never thought that made any sense,” he said. Reached Tuesday, county Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said he would make a motion Wednesday to amend the county’s official transportation plan to have Evergreen Mills Road be four lanes between Rt. 606 and Northstar Boulevard. Evergreen Mills is not currently planned to connect with Northstar, York said, but this step would provide another east-west path for traffic. n

Ellers, who came from a corporate background with AOL and Univision, joined the Oatlands board seven years ago and held the treasurer’s post. In a statement, McGimsey said she appreciated her four and a half years at Oatlands, and lauded her staff as outstanding. The former Loudoun County supervisor said she was proud of her work to raise community awareness of the value of the early 19th century property, including projects to broaden the public’s knowledge of its history and of the people who worked and lived there. Oatlands was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Corcoran Eustis in 1904. The wealthy Washingtonians became leaders in the Loudoun community and brought the property back to its

here will be many ways to show support for the troops during the Memorial Day weekend in Loudoun. The county’s keynote event will be held Monday at 10 a.m. at the Loudoun County Courthouse in Leesburg. The annual observance will commemorate those who have lost their lives in battle. Retired Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne, a former Marine Corps captain, will be the featured speaker. The ceremony is highlighted by the laying of wreaths at the war memorials. Earlier Monday morning, there will be a different kind of commemoration as One Loudoun in Ashburn hosts the Ringing Hope Race, which will raise funds to support two military support charities. The event features 5K and 10K races and a 1K fun run/walk. This year’s participating charities include Boulder Crest Retreat, supporting military and veteran wellness near Bluemont; and Service Sources’ Warrior Bridge Project, supporting veterans with disabilities. The event also will include music, kids’ art, team challenges, massages at the finish line, moon bounces and face painting. The 5K starts at 8 a.m., the 10K at 8:10 a.m. and the fun run at 9:30 a.m. Registration is available at www. ringinginhope.com. Another special event this year will be the march of 120 athletes from Harper’s Ferry, WV, to Arlington National Cemetery. The “Ruck to Remember” mission seeks to honor veterans lost in war, in training, or through suicide from the effects of war. The march will pass through Loudoun and stop at several locations during the Memorial Day weekend. One stop on Saturday afternoon will be at the Purcellville Public Safety Center, where Chantilly-based Honor Brewing Co. will participate in an event that will include a tribute to a Purcellville resident, Army Spc. Stephan Mace, who was killed in 2009 by Taliban forces in Afghanistan. Gold Star mothers and wives, including Mace’s mother, Vanessa Adelson, will participate. On Sunday, the group will stop at the Ashburn Fire Department around noon, and then participants plan to cross Arlington Memorial Bridge at sunrise Monday en route to an 8 a.m. ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

process of creating a diversity commission, and requested the issue be removed from the consent agenda, a listing of noncontroversial matters, during the May 12 council meeting. Dunn also abstained from the vote after criticizing the comments of some council members who supported creating the panel. “It is discouraging to have us create a diversity commission, which is better served as a cultural awareness commission, based on statements of council members that were untrue and insults to many people,” he said. He continued, “There were comments by the mayor that said town staff bends over backwards for Americans. There were comments by Marty Martinez, that because of his Hispanic background, he’s been pulled over by Leesburg Police. It’s an insult to the police department. There was a comment from [Councilwoman] Kelly Burk that said Leesburg has not been open or welcoming to minorities. Dave Butler has said he doesn’t want us to become Ferguson [MO]. That’s an insult to all of us, both minorities and majorities. These are not the comments we should hear from people creating that committee. Because of the comments that established the commission, I will abstain from nominating a person for the group.” Burk disagreed, saying the commission would “do a lot of good things.” “I can’t disagree with you more. We heard from the community and we’re responding—that’s part of what our job is. I’m confident that this commission will come forward and make a difference,” Burk said. “I’m surprised people would go and attack other people,” Martinez said, referring to Dunn’s contentious statements. Ultimately, the motion to approve the appointments passed with a 5-0-1-1 vote, with Dunn abstaining and Councilman Dave Butler absent. The appointees are as follows: Enrique Gonzalez (Umstattd), Adrienne Bray (Burk), Linda McCray (Martinez), Yvette Castro-Green (Sheldon Hammler), Chang Liu (Butler), Jed Babbin (Fox) and Oliver Peters (Dunn). Burk took to Facebook the following day to question the appointments of Fox and Dunn. “I have no doubt that each nominee will be an important member of the commission, but I did find it somewhat ironic that two Republicans [sic] council members appointed white men to the diversity council,” the post stated. Fox replied to Burk’s post and stated the reasons why Babbin was a qualified choice, including being a former Air Force officer who traveled around the world and a former attorney. “How disappointing that the Vice Mayor of our town has resorted to race-baiting. … I should not have to defend my appointee based on the color of his skin or the sound of his last name,” Fox stated. “Shameful.” Dunn wrote in a letter to the editor of Leesburg Today that Burk “should be ashamed of herself for making race a qualification for membership.” “It is hypocritical for Burk to want a diversity commission that in itself has a membership that does not represent the diverse makeup of Leesburg,” he said. Despite the hubbub, some of the commission appointees attended last week’s council meeting and said they couldn’t wait to get to work. “I’m honored to be a part of the change, this is awesome. I hope it’s a great tool for the town to understand all perspectives,” Bray said. “I definitely think we will be able to distribute information for opportunities in a way that will capture everyone’s attention. … I would like the voice of the youth to be heard and applied when they have an idea.” Castro-Green said she is looking forward to making sure minorities are aware of all grant opportunities available, such as those at the Mason Enterprise Center. “It’s a long time coming. This is somewhat of a dream come true for me, and I think for the community, too,” Castro-Green said. “There’s always more that can be done.” n

Jimmerson Announces Campaign For Blue Ridge Supervisor Slot

he campaign for the Blue Ridge District seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors is now a race. Purcellville resident Richard Jimmerson announced Sunday that he will run as an independent candidate. Incumbent Janet S. Clarke is not seeking re-election after one term, and the Republican nominee is Tony Buffington of Brambleton. There is no Democratic nominee. Jimmerson is the chief information officer for the American Registry for Internet Numbers. His wife, Karen, is serving her first term on the Purcellville Town Council. “Decisions made by the Board of Supervisors over the next four years will have a profound and lasting impact on the future direction of the district,” Richard Jimmerson said in prepared statement announcing his campaign. “I am confident I can balance the needs and interests of our varied communities in the Blue Ridge.” Jimmerson said he would work to bring infrastructure improvements to the fast-growing Brambleton area in the eastern end of the large district and would advocate for preservation and conservation in western Loudoun. Among his other campaign points are to promote cost-efficient public safety, infrastructure and education, and to work to keep taxes level by increasing economic development. He also said he would work to help to build consensus among board members. “It is not enough to have a single vote on the board representing your views,” he said. “I will work hard to garner the support of fellow

Richard Jimmerson

supervisors to help bring positive decisionmaking that serves the needs of the Blue Ridge District.” In an interview Monday, the 45-yearold said that he’s running as an independent because he doesn’t identify with only one political party. “I truly am an independent,” he said. Jimmerson also said he would prefer to handle local issues as an independent because they don’t involve the ideology that comes into play in national politics. n

ith a stated goal to build on the strengths of the county’s public schools, Leesburg parent and human resources professional Eric DeKenipp announced Monday that he is vying for a seat on the Loudoun School Board. He will seek election to the board’s Catoctin District, which has been held by Jennifer Bergel since 2007. Bergel’s announcement last month that she would not seek another term on the board prompted DeKenipp’s decision to run. He said he does not believe his opponent in the race, attorney Dusty Sparrow Reed, represents the values of the Catoctin District. He said he takes issue with statements Reed made in announcing her campaign for the seat. She said that Loudoun’s public schools do a “satisfactory job educating the ‘typical child,’ but could improve in its approach to educating what I would call ‘the outliers.’” To that, DeKenipp said, “I think the majority would say we do a lot better than satisfactory… My family and I chose to move to Loudoun County for the schools, and we want to keep that trend going.” DeKenipp made local headlines in 2012 when he brought a legal case against the School Board after boundary changes resulted in the reassignment of his daughter, and other Potomac Station Elementary students, to Frederick Douglass Elementary. The reassignment meant the students could no longer walk to school. DeKenipp called the situation a symptom of a larger issue: a lack of communication and collaboration. Improving both is his No. 1 priority. He

wants to improve collaboration between the School Board and the public, as well as between the School Board and Board of Supervisors. He said he planned to work with the Catoctin District representative on the Board of Supervisors to align priorities for the district and ensure those priorities have funding solutions. DeKenipp, a self-described fiscal conservative, also wants to drive effective resource management in the schools. One of his ideas to help make the schools less dependent on tax dollars is to form a volunteer task force that puts together out-ofthe-box curricula that can be sold to home-school educators, as well as to private and charter schools. DeKenipp, 31, oversees human resources and workforce planning at government contracting company Vencore. He is a Marine Corps veteran and was recognized in 2014 by Leesburg Today as one of Loudoun’s 40 Under 40 up-andcoming business and community leaders.

in all of Loudoun’s elementary schools, and he would push for the state to purchase the Dulles Greenway. Ramadan has been perhaps the most outspoken critic of rising Greenway tolls, but Bell said that the delegate’s approach of mounting legal challenges to the levies is the wrong one. Virginia could use low-interest bonds to buy the highway and then use toll revenue to pay off the bonds, he said. And with the road owned by the state, tolls could be lowered, Bell said. “To me, this could have a huge positive impact on families in our area,” he said, noting that some clans are affected by both the Greenway and full-day kindergarten issues. Bell, a father of five, has a bachelor’s degree from Regis University in Denver and master’s degrees from The George Washington University and from Western New England University in Springfield, MA. n

ohn Bell, who lost to Del. David I. Ramadan two years ago by fewer than 200 votes, will again be the Democratic nominee in Virginia’s 87th House District. The 52-year-old management consultant and retired U.S. Air Force major claimed the nomination Monday night after no other candidate responded to a call for hopefuls to run in a firehouse primary. He wasn’t the first Democrat to seek the party nod in this election cycle, though. That was Jewan “Jack” Tiwari of South Riding. He announced a run in March but had to drop out following the earthquake last month in Nepal. Tiwari is from the Asian nation, and his in-laws lost their home in the devastation there, Bell said. Also a resident of South Riding, Bell said he was approached last year about running in the 87th District but declined because his wife, Margaret, had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her lung. “I was in no position to run,” he said. The tumor was removed in January, though, so Bell agreed to step up when Tiwari had to pull out of the campaign. Add in the fact that Ramadan, a Republican, also decided recently not to seek re-election, and Bell now finds himself as the only man in the race. It’s been a “series of unlikely events” in the district that covers parts of Loudoun and Prince William counties, the Democrat said. Bell said he fully expects the GOP to name a nominee soon. If elected, he said he would try to aid in the effort to get full-day kindergarten classes

equivalent positions. Last year, a part-time staffer working on economic development and events coordination was transferred to Planning and Zoning and upgraded to full-time to help meet the increasing demands on the town’s zoning administrator and improvement service. The part-time economic development position has not been reinstated. Also three FTEs were added to run the town’s water and sewer system, following the decision to end the contract for Loudoun Water to manage operations of the town’s utilities. In comparison with adjacent towns, including Purcellville or Round Hill, Lovettsville is understaffed, Zoldos said. The other towns have about one FTE per 160 residents; the ratio in Lovettsville is one per 218 residents. While that could indicate efficiency on town staff’s part, it could also mean that some residents’ needs are going unmet, Zoldos said.

UTILITY SYSTEM

The town will have to increase its water and sewer rates to meet the costs of the town system and keep it in the black, Zoldos warned. The town has steadily increased the rates during the past three years, but those increases have not enabled the town to catch up as

case by attorney Robert Mitchell, of Hall, Monahan, Engle, Mahan & Mitchell, who has been retained to represent the BZA. Members present were Chairman Betsy Self and members Orlo C. Paciulli, Mike Peery and Melanie Fuller. John Cooper was absent. Mike Peery resigned from the panel the following day, but Town Manager Robert W. Lohr Jr. said the BZA could hear the appeal with four members. After almost an hour of talks, the panel returned to the open meeting and voted to schedule a public hearing on the appeal within 60 days. Self said the BZA members would make its deci-

sion after the public hearing. The sole question to be considered is whether the zoning administrator was correct in his ruling, she said. On the advice of Town Attorney Sally Hankins, the Purcellville Town Council hired special outside counsel of its own. Sharon Pandak and Patrick Taves, of Greehan, Taves, Pandak & Stoner, were tapped to represent the council in the case. Sullivan also will be represented by an outside attorney, Gifford Hampshire of Blankingship & Keith. Stover is represented by Frank Bredimus. n

Chapman and Mark Nelis had not lapsed. Vineyard Square is planned as a complex of retail and commercial space, and 40 multi-family residential units along North 21st Street. Stover argues the development failed to make adequate progress, as required, in the year since the permits were issued. A key issue since the filing of Stover’s appeal has been identifying the proper venue for the case—whether the BZA would hear the argument or whether it should go directly to the Circuit Court. The closed session involved a briefing on the

expected—requiring an increasing use of Utility Fund reserves that is not sustainable, as well as loans from the General Fund. Hiring its own personnel to operate the utility system has resulted in savings, $18,000 to $72,000 this fiscal year, Zoldos said. The downside is that the council—and the consultant who re-examined the town’s rates—has concluded it is clear that rates must be raised again, and substantially, to meet costs of running the system. While still having the lowest rates among all Loudoun towns other than Leesburg, Lovettsville’s average bill per quarter is $259, and is expected to rise next year to $273.

KEEPING SOLVENT

Working with new Town Manager Lazlo Palko, the council has cut as much as $168,000 out of the budget, but the staffing and utilities challenges require the town to develop ways to “keep us from going bankrupt in 10 years,” Zoldos warned. In response, Palko developed three considerations for discussion May 15. • Option 1 increased water and sewer rates by 30 percent to catch up immediately—an option Continued on Next Page

espite a heavy late afternoon thunderstorm, Saturday’s Purcellville Music and Arts Festival at Fireman’s Field was met with good reviews from town representatives as well as the public. Before the heavens opened late in the day, the event drew a big crowd, particularly late morning to early afternoon. “It was similar to last year, possibly a little higher attendance,” events specialist Melanie Scoggins said of the second edition for the combined music and arts celebration. Scoggins and council members extolled the improved layout of this year’s event. “It was much better all around; it just worked better for people,” Scoggins said, noting that some vendors reported doubling their sales. One telling fact was that the beer ran out, she said, while Councilwoman Karen Jimmerson noted the vendor selling cupcakes and

cookies inside the Bush Tabernacle also almost ran out of supplies. “It had a better feel,” Jimmerson said, noting there were more activities for kids and the artwork on display inside the Tabernacle was “stunning.” The trolley shuttle, furnished by the Purcellville Business Association and Virginia Transit was a big hit, with PBA President Jim Bowman acting as a tour guide for visitors as they passed through town. Parks and Recreation Advisory Board liaison and Town Councilman Patrick McConville said the crowd kept coming steadily, flowing in and out. Most of the vendors he talked with were pretty happy, and he also praised the redefined layout. “It pushed traffic where it needed to be,” he said. But the late-in-the-day rain and winds were not kind to headliner Robbie Limon and his band. One tent was even blown across the street. But Limon did perform and some 50 people stayed to cheer him on. n

examined but considered too draconian and discarded. • Option 2 proposed no property tax increase, but a 16 percent increase in utility rates—meaning an average $144 annual increase in water and sewer rates. There would be no additional fees. The option is designed to attack the Utility Fund deficit aggressively, but without the need for subsidies from the General Fund. It also includes the addition of 1.19 FTEs to town staff, including a 12-hour-a-week economic development specialist and a 24-hour-a-week receptionist/clerk. • Option 3 proposed a 1.5-cent real estate tax

rate increase and a 12 percent increase in utility rates—an average $108 annual increase. This option requires the use of General Fund money to subsidize the utility system, with the goal to phase out the subsidy in two or three years. The option also included the addition of 1.43 FTEs, including a 12-hour-a-week economic development specialist, a 24-hour-aweek receptionist/clerk and a $10/hour events coordinator. The council was split on the latter two options, but agreed to advertise both as possible rates. In the advertisement, they will appear as Option 1 and Option 2.

Pelchar also suggested using reclaimed water to irrigate the course, as is being done in other localities, or the use of reclaimed water for car and street washings and to recharge town wells. A golf course could bring in revenue for the town, he said. • The Loudoun Valley High School DECA and debate teams were recognized during the May 12 council meeting.

• The board of directors of the Ebenezer Cemetery Company Inc. invites the community to attend a Memorial Day service in the “new” church that dates to 1855. The service will Airmont commence at 2:30 p.m. May 24. The church is located at 20241 Airmont Road. As well as a memorial, the event commemorates 260 years of service by the old and new churches to the residents of western Loudoun. Both structures are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The old church dates to about 1755, when plantation owner Samuel Butcher built what was known as Butcher’s Meeting House. Eleven years later, he willed the land and building to the congregation to be used in perpetuity as a meetinghouse, school and cemetery. That building stands adjacent to the 1855 church. The nonprofit cemetery company’s sole purpose is the care and maintenance of the two churches and the surrounding cemetery, all of which is done on a volunteer basis by the board. Ebenezer has an outstanding group of cemetery records, according to Thomas Balch Library Director Alexandra Gressitt. Records from 1888 to 1993 are lodged at the Balch. Funds received from donations and lot sales are used to build an endowment for future maintenance. Those interested in making a donation should send a check to: PO Box 174, Purcellville, VA 20134.

oudoun school leaders agree that more time in school for kindergartners is a plus. But there’s some disagreement over which students should have first dibs on a limited number of full-day kindergarten seats this fall. The School Board is debating whether to make available as many as 109 seats in the full-day program to general population kindergartners through a lottery system or to save

those spots for any academically atrisk kindergartners who enroll at the last minute. The board made clear that providing a six-hour academic day to more kindergartners is a priority when it made room in next fiscal year’s budget to add 45 new full-day classrooms in school buildings that have space. With the earmarked $2.5 million, about 1,500 kindergarteners will have access to a full-day program beginning in August. The board’s plan is to open those spots first to students who are just learning English and to those

who live below or near the poverty line, and then to allow other kindergartners to enroll for the projected 42 to 109 leftover seats through a lottery system. But the school division’s senior staff is recommending that the board not give those seats away. Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Terry Breeden told board members that she would hesitate to offer those seats in a lottery in case the enrollment estimates for at-risk kindergartners this fall is off. “Kindergarten is tricky to estiContinued on Next Page

oes Madison’s Trust Elementary School have a nice ring to it? How about John F. Ryan Middle School? Those are the names community committees are recommending for the

future Brambleton-area elementary and middle schools now referred to as ES-27 and MS-9. The name Madison’s Trust would commemorate Loudoun County’s place in the War of 1812 in which it served as a temporary refuge for President James Madison and important documents, including the U.S. Constitution. The president lived temporarily at Belmont, and the papers were housed at the Rokeby estate, off

Gleedsville Road south of Leesburg. Loudoun County School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said during the board’s meeting last Tuesday that he was initially confused by the name, but he thanked the committee for the explanation. “I appreciate the fact that there’s an effort to capture that event, which was very significant to Loudoun County, and this was a great way to do it,” he said.

The alternate recommended names for the elementary school are North Star—committee members said the school, like Polaris the North Star, would provide guidance to students—and Oak Hill, referring to President James Monroe’s Aldie home.

before they can even make it to the stage, and Shiv has heeded the advice of those who’ve gone before him and spent hours going over vocabulary as well as memorizing the spellings of the trickiest words, usually during his 30-minute commute to and from soccer practice. “I study then and whenever I have free time,” Shiv said. “I don’t know how everybody else is preparing, but I think I’m prepared.” Loudoun Country Day School English teacher Abby Weiss described the youngster as a conscientious and meticulous student, and those attributes can come in handy when preparing to spell almost any word.

His classmates at the private school in Leesburg have told him that they plan to gather around their TVs to watch the competition and cheer him on.

mate,” she said at a meeting last week, noting that many rising kindergartners have not yet registered for next year. “So we provide these numbers with quite a few cautionary notes.” During a half-hour discussion that followed, the majority of board members voiced support for opening the seats to a lottery. Jeff Morse (Dulles) said if a few more kindergartners who could really benefit from a full-day program enroll later, then the board can find money to pay a teacher’s assistant. “I would love to put those seats up in the lottery.” “We may as well use the space for students,” Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) added. Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said that he’d seen this small expansion of full-day kindergarten as a step, or a model, for eventually rolling out an extended-day program countywide. “If we don’t move forward with this now, we won’t know how it works,” he said. Hornberger also noted that a lottery would allow for students of varying academic levels and socioeconomic backgrounds to learn side by side. Vice Chairwoman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) was the most vocal opponent of a lottery. She urged the board to save the seats for students who need them most. “My concern with having a free-for-all lottery is that we are not going to be using those academic resources for the purposes they were

intended, and that’s for our at-risk population,” she said. Superintendent Eric Williams, who initially proposed that the board set aside $3.5 million to expand full-day kindergarten to as many as 1,875 students, was measured in his comments. “We have a dilemma. We have competing goals,” he told board members. “On one hand the board wants to serve the targeted population. On another hand, we want to serve as many kids as possible. One thing we’re sure of is that the [estimated] numbers will change.” He cautioned the board to consider that ahead of its vote on the matter May 26. At that meeting, board members will decide whether to hold a lottery and whether to open it to kindergartners countywide or just to those who live near schools with available seats. n

speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates who was born and raised in Loudoun. He served 11 terms in the House and was elected as speaker five times, from 1894 until 1899, and again from 1901 until 1906. The committee’s first alternate choice is Mathias Giordano Middle School, after the Loudoun student who died of bone cancer Dec. 7 at the age of 13. The second alternate recommendation is Potomac Heights Middle School, to recognize the river’s importance to local, state and national history. Mathias’ mother, Roya Giordano, addressed School Board members before the vote and urged them to name the middle school in memory of her son, whom she said never lost his passion for education even as his treatments required him to take classes from home. “He maintained honors classes throughout his battle even though he knew he had no chance to attend high school,” she said. “I’m here tonight to carry on his mission to spread awareness of pediatric cancer.” The elementary school will open in the fall of 2016; the middle school, in the fall of 2017. The board wants to hear from the community ahead of its June 9 vote to adopt names for the two schools. Email the full board at lcsb@ lcps.org. n

Loudoun Economic Development Trip To Asia Bears Fruit

recent Loudoun economic development trip to Asia proved “very successful,” according to County Chairman Scott K. York. 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, and that endeavor has prompted at least two serious inquiries from businesses that could set up shop here. The economic development trip was from April 18 to May 2, and one interested company already has visited the county since then, Rizer said. Another firm has plans for a Loudoun excursion next month. Localities typically don’t identify prospective businesses so as not to harm negotiations, but Rizer did say that the companies connected to the Asia trip are “brand names.” The county delegation conducted 18 business meetings, Rizer said, and York noted, too, that the contingent was able to discuss Loudoun tourism opportunities while in Asia. Overall, Rizer pointed out that Loudoun’s international business program has grown from nothing to the point where county leaders can get meetings with major companies that have “real interest” in locating here. “It’s really, really exciting,” he said.

Some may criticize taking the step of sending a county delegation abroad, but Rizer said that making York, the head of Loudoun’s government, available to meet with businesses means a lot. That face time nurtures a bond that you can’t get communicating over long distances, even with videoconferencing, he and York explained. Put another way, York said, “Skype only does so much.” York, Rizer and Erickson also spoke about the trip during Monday night’s meeting of the board’s Economic Development Committee. Rizer said at that meeting that the county was boosted on the trip by translating its economic development materials into the native language of the hosts. And York and Erickson said that appointments with Air China and with Brand USA proved successful. Air China is based in Beijing’s Shunyi District, and Brand USA, the destination marketing organization for the U.S., has offices in China and in South Korea. Representatives at both Brand USA offices said that it was remarkable for a locality to make such an economic development trip, according to Erickson. Most of the time, it’s state-level departments with whom they meet. “And so that was a tremendous opportunity to have that,” Erickson said. She also told committee members that she looks forward to showcasing Loudoun wines at future events in China and in South Korea.

Young Hits A Record-Setting Pace At Gallaudet Bill Kamenjar

n this rush-it-up world where high school sports have become the primary springboard to collegiate participation and beyond, it’s nice to find someone who bucked that trend and still achieved athletically. In the extraordinary case of Rachel Young, who has been deaf since the age of 2, this process has allowed her to excel at the next level. In fact, the Leesburg native made quite an impression on the distance-running scene this year. As a senior at Gallaudet University in Washington, DC (the only university in the world for the deaf and hard of hearing), Young recently earned “Bison of the Month” honors for breaking her school’s 10,000-meter record not just once, but twice. The four-year letter winner for the women’s track and field team first set a school record for the 10,000-meter run at the Goucher College Classic with a time of 45 minutes, 53.76 seconds, beating the old record by 40.04 seconds (the standard was previously held by Lisa Kluth set in 1992). Exactly three weeks later, she improved on her school record mark with a time of 45:10.02. “It really means a lot to me to set a school record in the 10K before I graduate from Gallaudet,” Young wrote in an email.

embers of Stone Bridge High School’s baseball community gathered at their field the evening of May 14 to dedicate the press box in memory of late coach James “JT” Timbers. Timbers, 40, died in 2010 from complications associated with abdominal cancer after spending 10 years as an assistant baseball coach at the Ashburn school. His wife, Pamela, and son, James, were in attendance at a ceremony last week that was held before the Bulldogs took the field against the Potomac Falls Panthers on senior night.

“He was always there without being overbearing and knew exactly what to say and when to say it,” James Timbers III stated in a dedication program. “He was a student of people which made him a great coach. He could adjust his methods to any player based on the type of player they were and the type of mindset they had. A leader by example; he did not have to yell or throw things to let you know the mistakes that were made and the adjustments that were needed. He could lighten the mood when needed with one line. He was the funniest person I’ve ever known. I never looked at him as a coach, only as dad, yet still, he was the best coach I ever had. In baseball and in life.” Potomac Falls won the game, 4-1. n

in the race, Joseph found himself toward the back of the pack, but his powerful kick proved to be the difference as the young Hokie surged past two Florida State runners to take the title and walk away with the gold. The Hokies finished in third place overall with 98 points, trailing champion and host Florida State and second-place Virginia. Patrick Joseph

Young’s path as a distance runner has been much different than most. First of all, it took her a while to arrive at her true passion. Then it took her even longer to commit to it on an organized level. “At Leesburg Elementary School, we had field days, and I always did the 800-meter race,” Young continued. “Then I tried all different sports, but they didn’t fit me.” Moving up to Heritage High School, Young shied away from the cross country and track teams to concentrate on the English Standards of Learning exams which she needed to pass in order to graduate and enter a four-year college. “I started running when I was in a physical education/advanced PE class,” Young said. “We had to do a mile test. In my senior year, I was asked to join the track team. I was in three honor societies courses—National, Art, and ASL [American Sign Language]—and I had to say no. I said, ‘I will join the college team.’ When I graduated from Heritage in 2010, I wrote on my college application that my goal was to be a student-athlete in college. The Gallaudet coach did ask me to join the team, and I accepted.” The physical education and recreation major’s rise to the top of her school’s record board was well regulated. “[Early in her collegiate career] I did run 800 meters, 1,500 meters and 5,000 meters,” Young said. “In 2013, I transferred to running the 10,000 meters. I was so good at it, I kept running it.” When asked how being deaf affects her in competition, she explained that it doesn’t bother her at all. “I don’t hear anything, like when the coach is yelling times, stadium cheering, etc.,” Young added. “My run is quiet. I follow my mind and body, and I am set into the race. I am extremely focused.” As for how she communicates with her coaches during her 25-lap specialty, she said: “My track and field coaches sign during my race. My

assistant coach stands at the 400-meter mark. That tells me my time at the 400-meter mark. I have to look at my assistant coach each lap, and it must be less than one minute and 50 seconds. It means I need to go faster or maintain it. I ask them how many laps are left, and they tell me. During the race, I shake my head or give a thumbs up.” Of course, a distance runner’s regimen goes well beyond the strides one makes on race day. There are the many miles of pavement-pounding that must be endured before a competitor can even think about competing. “My training/practice is really important to me, because it helps me to be successful during my race,” Young said. “My workout is different each time, and it’s not just long-distance training. Some races that I did were at the shorter distances to help my speed work and that helped me break my second time in the 10K. When I am not having any meets and the season hasn’t started, I do community racing to keep up my conditioning. I’ve also run half-marathons and marathons. I love going to training/practice with a different workout every day—it encourages me and keeps me motivated.” Young’s favorite quote is, “Training Hard, Win Easy.” “There are several things I most enjoy about running,” Young said. “And those are being in the community with other runners and with my teammates. I love meeting new people and the social aspect of running. I truly love running and enjoy the nature and see the different tracks at the university campuses. My running helps me to destress and I want to run forever. My favorite time to run is with my teammates.” As for the future, Young has her sights set on the long run. “I will graduate at Gallaudet in August,” Young said. “I have an internship as a recreation therapist. My goals are to a get a full-time job and go right into my master’s degree. My future goal is to continue running the 10K and marathon races.” n

The Seldom Scene kicks off the summer season at Leesburg’s Tally Ho Theatre on Friday.

ith nearly three years of bringing national touring acts to Loudoun under its belt, Leesburg’s Tally Ho Theatre promises a hot summer. Following a show from jam band pioneers Blues Traveler on Tuesday, the venue’s schedule includes a list of big names in coming weeks, all legends in their respective genres. Bluegrass legends The Seldom Scene kick off the summer season Friday. With more than four decades of history, the Scene has

long been an icon in the progressive bluegrass (or newgrass) style. The band, launched in the Washington, DC, area in 1971, took a hit with the death of founder and lead singer John Duffey in 1996. But the band has rebounded strongly over the past two decades. Its most recent release, 2007’s Scenechronized, was nominated for a Grammy award. The band is led by its sole remaining founder, banjo player Ben Eldridge, with Dudley Connell on guitar and lead vocals, and Lou Reid on mandolin and tenor vocals.

Launched in 1977, the band emerged on the international scene when the song “Pretty In Pink” (released on the classic 1981 album “Talk, Talk, Talk”) was the inspiration for John Hughes’ 1986 film of the same name and was re-recorded for the movie’s soundtrack. 1987’s “Heartbreak Beat” also broke into the U.S. Top 40. The band took a 10-year hiatus starting in 1991 but regrouped in 2001. Tickets are $40 in advance, $45 day of show.

Tickets for each of Messina’s two seated shows are $45 early bird, $50 in advance and $55 day of show. n The Seldom Scene performs Friday at 8:30 p.m.; the Psychedelic Furs play June 2 at 8:30 p.m.; Jo Dee Messina performs June 5 at 6:30 and 9:15 p.m. For tickets and information, go to tallyholeesburg.com.

These four county-owned buildings along Edwards Ferry Road may be demolished as part of plans for the construction of a new General District Court building.

Courthouse Continued from Page 1

Edwards Ferry Road—the approach recommended by staff—would cost about $1 million. The BAR’s recommendation was not one of the four options the supervisors were weighing when they reaffirmed their decision to demolish all four buildings. One option included removing three buildings and modifying 112 Edwards Ferry Road to its original footprint, and another would have saved the buildings at 110 and 112 Edwards Ferry Road. Peter Hargreaves, the project design planner, said that each month the courts expansion project is delayed, it costs the taxpayers about $300,000 in inflation costs. BAR member Malloy presented a motion that would have given full approval of the demolition projects for the “greater good” of ensuring the courts system stays in Leesburg.

However, other BAR members said that would be going against the panel’s responsibility to enforce historic district regulations. “In 11 years on this board, it’s the most difficult review I’ve had,” BAR member Dieter Meyer said. The Board of Supervisors is expected to appeal the BAR ruling to the full Town Council. “We need to keep a close eye on when the appeal comes from the county, and ensure we take action as soon as possible,” Councilwoman Katie Sheldon Hammler said in an interview Tuesday morning. She said there has been encouraging talk in regards to relocating some of the buildings, and she wants to make sure the project “moves forward smoothly.” Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd said the town staff anticipates that the county will file an

appeal “within the next few days.” If the appeal is filed in that timeframe, Umstattd said a public hearing likely would take place at a June 23 council meeting. She noted that the BAR members took their jobs seriously and “did what they believed they were charged to do.”

“I appreciated the BAR’s attempt to reach a compromise by enabling the county to take down the non-historic rear additions to the buildings,” Umstattd said. “However, when the council hears the appeal, my primary goal will be to keep the courts in downtown Leesburg. I believe town staff will ensure that the county’s applications are handled efficiently and fairly, and I expect the council will do the same.” n

illiam Hasselberger, who calls Loudoun County home, now has his eyes on Monaco as a possible location for a potential television series he is helping to finance, working with Hollywood’s Sennet Entertainment production company. Producer Mark Sennet recently had a royal encounter with Monaco’s Prince Albert at the Top Marques Monaco, the world’s most spectacular super-car show. Sennet Entertainment is producing “The Drivers,” a new television series based on the Grand Prix rivalry between Ford and Ferrari in the 1960s. Prince Albert told Sennet that Monaco would welcome the shooting of the series. Hasselberger, who had business dealings in the past with Albert’s late father, Prince Rainier III, said, “I’ve always found Monaco to be very friendly to foreign investors, and I think the Prince is right in that it would make sense to film some of ‘The Drivers’ there, given Monaco’s historic connection with international racing.” “The Drivers” is written by worldrenowned writer/producer Michael Hirst and is a collaborative effort between Headline Pictures and Sennet Entertainment. The series will highlight the post-World War II rebuilding of Europe and the U.S. through racing as well as focus on the people that made racing history.

Hasselberger is providing seed money to the project and has met several times in the past with Monaco’s Business Development Agency to discuss a series of investments there. “Mark did a great job in his meeting with Prince Albert,” Hasselberger said. “I’ve been to Monte Carlo’s Formula One and must say it is the best stop on the circuit. I know the Principality well and Monaco is one of the most beautiful cities in the world ... a perfect backdrop for the romance, glamor, and action for our project.” Hasselberger, Sennet and actress Bo Derek are scouting locations. Their list includes Virginia, West Virginia, Portugal, South Africa, and now Monaco. “We’ll shoot in the venues where we get the best incentives,” Hasselberger said. “Today’s computer graphics make it that simple, although personally I hope Virginia wins out.” Recently Hasselberger, Sennet and Derek met with Sheila Johnson, the owner of Middleburg’s Salamander Resort & Spa to discuss their growing portfolio of film projects. Hasselberger, who is on the board of Middleburg’s Film Festival, said he’d been meaning for some time to introduce Derek to Johnson. “They’re both impressive women, and it would be fun to collaborate together on one of our projects. Sheila is very well respected in Hollywood.” n

TO CONSIDER TOWN PLAN AMENDMENT APPLICATION TLTA 2015-0001 REZONING APPLICATION TLZM 2013-0006, CRESCENT PARKE Pursuant to Sections 15.2-1427, 15.2-2204, 15.2-2205 and 15.2-2285 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, the Leesburg Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at 7:00 p.m., in the Town Council Chambers, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia, 20176 to consider a Town Amendment application TLTA 2014-0001 and a rezoning application TLZM 2013-0006, referred to as Crescent Parke. The Crescent Parke applications are made on behalf of the Applicant Lansdowne Development Group LLC. The Applicant is requesting approval of a Town Plan Amendment to revise the planned land use for approximately 31 acres of land in the Crescent Design District. The requested amendment would change the designated land use of approximately 29 acres from Commercial/Mixed-Use to Residential and approximately 2 acres designated Open Space to Residential. The Applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning application, with a concept plan and proffers to rezone approximately 29 acres from the CD-C (Crescent District-Commercial), CD-MUO (Crescent District – Mixed-use Option), and CD-OS (Crescent District-Open Space) to the CD-RH (Crescent District – Residential High Density). Within the CD-C and CD-MUO districts the Applicant proposes 163,625 square feet of nonresidential uses to include: a maximum of 112,500 square feet of office, and a maximum of 141,125 square feet or retail, inclusive of a hotel use subject to a future special exception application, and 96 multifamily dwelling units. Within the CD-RH district the Applicant proposes 209 townhouses and 96 stacked townhouses (two over two). The Applicant is requesting multiple zoning modifications which affect building architecture and site design. Other modifications may be necessary due to potential changes to the concept plan. The Property encompasses 53.3 acres as depicted on the Concept Plan’s Rezoning Plat, and is identified by the following Loudoun County Property Identification Numbers (PIN): 232-37-7166 and 232-37-5627 and 232-38-9290 and 232-28-3893 and 232-37-3721. The Town Plan’s Land Use Policy Map designates the Property as Commercial/Mixed-Use and Open Space. The Town Plan does not include recommended densities for residential or commercial uses in the Crescent Design District. The application proposes a commercial density (floor area ratio) of 0.07, and a residential density of 9.3 dwelling units per acre. Copies and additional information regarding this Rezoning Concept Plan Amendment application are available at the Department of Planning and Zoning located on the second floor of Town Hall, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia, 20176 during normal business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) or by contacting Michael Watkins, Senior Planner, via email at mwatkins@leesburgva.gov, or via telephone at 703-737-7920. At these hearings, all persons desiring to express their views concerning these matters will be heard.

CHARLES HENRY CONLEY WIGHT “HARRY,”

Charles Henry Conley Wight "Harry," passed away on May 11, 2015 at INOVA Loudoun Hospital. He was born in St. Louis, MO on July 6, 1932 to the late Daniel Ewing Wight and Helen Abel Conley. He attended Georgetown Prep, Lawrenceville grade school and high school, and Yale class of 1956. After graduating from Yale 1956 (the captain of his cross country running team), Harry became a full LT Navy pilot (running reconnaissance photo missions off of carriers) for 6 years and then entered in country life, a stockbroker manager for 25 years. After his military tour, he moved to North Fork, VA to open and manage the first Alex Brown and Sons branch investment firm in Leesburg, VA.

He also consulted with AT&T, WorldCom, Verizon, Fannie Mae and Capital One throughout his career. Before embarking in the field of IT, Crumlish was a prolific writer, contributing to numerous automotive and racing magazines, including Racer, SuperFord and Speed Sport News, as well as the Associated Press and United Press International. A staple in the NASCAR circuit as well as IMSA, CART and the US Rally scene, Paul wrote for and worked with many drivers, teams and race tracks in the creation of press and program materials.

DAVID MICHAEL OSBORNE

David Michael Osborne, 54, of Philomont, VA, passed away on May 9, 2015, after a twoyear battle with cancer. Born on April 9, 1961, in Oakland, CA, he was the son Diane C. Osborne (nee Diane Cimolino), of Oakland, CA, and Don Osborne, of San Francisco. David grew up in Oakland, CA, and lived there until he moved East in 2005 to be closer to his wife’s family. He attended the Head-Royce School and the University of California-Berkeley (Go Bears!) Much of his career was spent in commercial project management, orchestrating the build-outs of commercial office space and data centers in San Francisco; Raleigh, NC; and Washington, D.C. He most recently was employed by CBRE, Inc., where he was a Director of Project Management and served as a global subject matter expert for the design, construction, and operations of Cisco’s Data Center portfolio. At home, David was an inspired cook, and his love for healthy food and creative cooking was apparent to all who knew him. He passed this love on to his children, as well. David’s biggest and most prized accomplishment was his three children. He was a devoted and loving father who enjoyed watching his elder daughter ride horses, going to baseball games and playing basketball with his son, and playing Barbies with his younger daughter. He read to the children every night before bed. He is survived by his loving wife, Cameron Epling Osborne of Philomont, VA; daughter Catherine Olivia (14); son John Tristan (11); and daughter Jane Claire (7), all of Philomont, VA; his devoted parents; brother Dean Osborne, of Oakland, CA; nieces Kael Osborne, Meila Osborne, and Adley Osborne, all of Oakland, CA; and stepmother Irene Osborne, of San Francisco; and his beloved in-law family, the Eplings, of Philomont, VA; Syracuse, NY; and Asheville, NC. He is predeceased by his brother Doug Osborne, of Oakland, CA. We will be remembering and celebrating David’s life on Thursday, May 28, 5:00 pm 8:00 pm, at Columbian Grove Farm in Philomont, VA.

Finding A Shared Priority

year ago the state government’s proposal to build a new highway that would provide cargo carriers with dedicated access to Dulles Airport’s back door sparked an intense community debate that pitted two south Loudoun constituent groups against one

another. The subsequent round of public review resulted in a record level of response from residents supporting or opposing route options for the project, formally known as the Dulles Air Cargo, Passenger and Metro Access Highway. The members of the county’s Board of Supervisors and Loudoun’s state delegation also found themselves divided on the proposal. There seemed little possibility for a compromise to close that division. This week, we learn that—at least in the assessment of one group of consulting engineers commissioned by the county government to review the situation—the highway lanes aren’t needed, and won’t be needed. That should be viewed as good news, not just for county supervisors and their constituents, but also for state leaders who were touting the new road as one urgently needed to prepare for a flood of new commerce. For local leaders, the study’s findings provide additional validation of the county’s long-term transportation plans in the fast-growing Rt. 50 corridor. That follows a similar assessment of Loudoun’s vision for the Ashburn-area road network just last year. The roads on the planning map can handle the future traffic flows; the county lacks only the money needed to build them. On the state level, let’s remember that VDOT’s study of the route options envisioned spending between $240 million and $1 billion on the project. One might say that the transportation department now can put that money it doesn’t have back in its imaginary piggy bank. In reality, however, it means the state won’t have to divert that money from other needed projects. State leaders can stand behind their commitment to improve western access to Dulles Airport by dedicating more funding to implement the plans Loudoun already has on the books. If that were truly the goal in this exercise, the full implementation of the south Loudoun planned transportation network should be viewed as a priority of statewide significance. The result would be a win for area residents, for commuters passing through and for those convoys of trucks expected to head our way soon.

Race Baiting

Dear Editor: n response to your articles about the diversity commission, I have always reserved my concerns toward Town Council’s handling of the issue. I am opposed to the untruthful insults thrown around the council as justification for the commission. Councilwoman Kelly Burk is race baiting by bringing up race as a condition of membership. This commission has no different membership requirements than any other commission. Burk should be ashamed of herself for making race a qualification for membership. It is hypocritical for Burk to want a diversity commission that in itself has a membership that does not represent the diverse makeup of Leesburg. This whole politically motivated process was started by Councilwomen Burk. In true fashion, Burk and her friends on the council

LETTERS to the editor played the “victim” card instead of bestowing the benefits of cultural awareness commission. No one was spared the untruthful insults. Marty Martinez said he has been pulled over by Leesburg Police two or three times per year for no other reason than being Hispanic. Based on his residency that would be 44 to 66 times, which he never mentioned before this commission was being formed. This is an insult to our police department. Mayor Kristen Umstattd said the town staff bends over backwards to help Americans, implying the same is not done for other nationalities. This insult to all of town staff is so untrue that she gave an example where staff went out of its way to help a business owner with language issues.

Dear Editor: In reference to Leesburg’s noise ordinance and its newly proposed Town Code Chapter 24 (Offenses And Miscellaneous Provisions) Article 5 (Offenses Against Public Peace And Order) Division 1 (Generally) Section 24-182 (Noise Ordinance), I have found several flaws. As a live sound engineer, I am quite aware of the harmful, irreparable destructiveness of

Dear Editor: I’m a parent of a child with autism who has been in the Loudoun schools for seven years. I’m also a former teacher, school administrator, federal and state educational official. Through my consulting practice I know schools throughout the country are overwhelmed by the increasing numbers of children with autism and related neurological disabilities. These children are difficult to educate. Most have considerable language, social, and attention deficits. Because of their inability to communicate and read social cues, they have few if any friends. Many feel awful much of the time since their bodies cannot naturally detoxify. Their pain oftentimes results in tantrums, headbanging, escaping and other misbehaviors. Yet

minorities forever. This is an insult to Leesburg residents of all races. She encores the truth about the rise of our diverse population. Dave Butler said we don’t want to become Ferguson, MO. This insult to Leesburg was thrown out for effect and has no basis of fact. If Leesburg is as bad as these politicians claim, then they are to blame. They have been in leadership positions collectively for 40 years, with the mayor 22 years herself. This council is using this commission to run interference for its bad record on diversity. During the town manager hiring process, this council refused to have diversity words included in the hiring announcement. Worst yet, when the one female applied, this council refused to give her an interview. The current town manager was hired according to council to “continue the legacy” of the previous town manager. It was that legacy of 92 percent white town employees that the Diversity Task Force was asked to look into. Burk insulted Mr. Peters, a volunteer, who submitted his name to the council, not to me. I put his name forward because he served in the past and the diversity commission could benefit from his views. I oppose politicians who claim to be looking out for people’s best interests, and then use them as pawns. Kelly Burk could step aside, and I would willingly appoint a diverse conservative candidate to replace her until an election of the people can take place. Tom Dunn, member Leesburg Town Council

loud sounds. I do not know where the noise level limits of 55dBA/C and 75dBA/C were derived, but they are not realistic. You cannot measure a sound source with A and C weighting and expect to see the same levels. There is a major difference between the A and C weighted measurements. An A weighted measurement will read a lower decibel level than a C weighted for the same source. This is because A weighting is not as sensitive to frequencies below approximately 250 hertz as C weighting is. A normal conversation between two people in a room measured at 10 feet averages 63 to 75 dBA and 68 to 81dBC. I live on a two-lane, 55-mph road and have measured the traffic noise from 85 to over 99 dBC. Also, how will the measurements be collected; instantaneously, averaged (how many samples for how long), and from what distance from the source? For every doubling of the distance from the source the measurement will read 6dB lower; it’s called the Inverse Square Law. It’s physics; you can’t get around it. Also amplified sound from a vehicle—is that measured with the windows opened or closed? These are just some examples of flaws (there are more) I have found with this whole noise issue. I am not condoning irresponsible people annoying their neighbors, or bars having live music until 2 a.m. I would like to see this issue thought out more thoroughly. These restrictions appear to be aimed at bars and restaurants with outside music. These businesses bring vital tax dollars to the town and place Leesburg on the map as a great place to visit and have a good time. Lastly, in reference to Mayor Umstattd’s comment, “The level of 75 decibels is too high. You won’t be able to hear yourself think.” To this I wonder; with all the noise around her, how does she manage to think? Rich DiStefano, Lovettsville

Dear Editor: This is in response to the letter saying it was fair game for the Board of Supervisors to pick and choose who will be permitted to do what with their land in the transition zone. The residents who were placed in the transition area were not given any voice as to why or for how long this would exist. It is now going on for approximately 10 years. We have seen over these past years all the land around us being developed and not all by right. South Riding continues to build with more townhomes, homes and schools. So does the much-needed Dulles Landing Shopping Center. Why? Because they were not put in the transition area. Stone Ridge continues to build with more townhomes, schools, and the much-needed library, hospital, rehab center, and hospice center. All these are great for our community. We are grateful we don’t have to go into other counties for these services. Now to put the icing on the cake, Brambleton is coming in with more than 506 new homes. It has more than 8,500 homes already approved for that area. What did the developers provide? Land for more schools and some of this land was in the transition area. So I guess it is just who you know. All this development from Brambleton will be at the end of Fleetwood Road, which is a single-lane dirt road that already cannot handle the traffic. The Lynn property with approximately 17 acres was approved for 80 townhomes just below the Brambleton school; the county was given a walking trail. Now you tell me the residents in the transition area aren’t being discriminated against? Sure, you tell us we can go by right—that is if we want to sell for half the value of our property at a time when all these other areas are building on top on one another. If this were your property what would you do? If the environmental group and the Aldie residents want nothing built, I would ask that the growth boundary be placed at Rt. 15 and beyond that land can be preserved with your agricultural incentives. That way the residents who are being penalized and discriminated against can go on with the development that is at our back door. I have lived in Loudoun County, as the McIntoshs have, for more than 50 years and don’t understand why we have been placed in the Transition Area where we can’t benefit from our land that we have paid taxes on and worked hard over the years to keep, but are being told what we can do and cannot do with our land. It sure doesn’t sound like justice to me. Aleta Kennedy, Aldie

“LCPS says it’s Madison’s Trust. My heart breaks for the family but I agree that naming a school for one lost student wouldn’t be appropriate. I think the most appropriate place for a memorial is at the school Mathias actually went to. That way his classmates can be involved and appreciate it. And I hope the family takes comfort in knowing that we all know a little about their son just by these efforts.”

few teachers know anything about biomedical conditions underlying these – e.g. auto-immune disorder, mitochondria dysfunction, methylization cycle impairment, gut dysfunction, brain inflammation and chemical sensitivity. We haven’t met one Loudoun teacher who ever went to a conference learn about them. Too bad since they would meet some of the best researchers, as well as teachers and parents who are learning about therapies, diets and medications that help autistic children remain healthy enough to learn at school. Few autism therapists have employed music, art and sports as modalities to help kids want to and learn academic skills. Yet these kids are typically movers who need physical activity to feed back to their brains that their hands and feet exist; toxic metals embedded in their brains and bodies oftentimes impede these sensations. Such modalities require enough space and equipment for sensory integration. Yet children with autism in Loudoun oftentimes get the smallest, least ventilated classrooms. One year our child’s cubby hole was only a few feet from the school’s generator for heating and cooling, not the greatest location for a kid who is sensitive to electro-magnetic radiation. The autism spectrum is so wide that one size does not fit all or even comes close. Few districts including Loudoun have the talent, accountability systems and openness to parents to effectively educate many children on the spectrum. They cannot show data to indicate whether their programs are getting better or worse. Supervisors often know less than the teachers they supervise and haven’t taught in years if at all. And time of teachers and parents is largely wasted in contentious, endless IEP meetings and mediations. For all of the foregoing Loudoun and other districts have had difficulty in accommodating the great diversity of children on the autism spectrum. I commend Del. LaRock’s proposed legislation that would enable parents of children with disabilities to purchase services for their child with state funds that would otherwise go to their school district. A handful of states already provide such an option. I hope the next legislative session would increase the funds available under this Parental Choice Savings Account to make it possible to mount serious programs with expert teachers for difficult-to-educate children like mine. The issue of more state funding for schools should also be debated on its merits. But it is naive to believe these additional funds would trickle down to benefit special needs children more than a program that allows parents to directly control the destiny of their child. Public schools would actually benefit, since they would eventually hire many of the professionals we parents find to reach and teach the most difficult to educate. In effect, we would become their talent scouts. Barry Stern, Purcellville

Fairfax 2015 made a variety of announcements recently related to the upcoming World Police & Fire Games competition taking place this summer from June 26 – July 5.

With wait times to get through security on

The majority of Dulles International travelers can use ‘Dulles Passport Express,’ which does not require pre-registration or an enrollment fee. Passengers using ‘Dulles Passport Express’ no longer need to complete a paper Customs Declaration form. Instead, they scan their passport at the kiosk, answer a series of questions using the touch screen, and have their photograph taken. The kiosk then prints a receipt, which the passengers take to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer for a brief final inspection. The addition of ‘Dulles Passport Express,’ as well as other enhancements from Customs and Border Protection, has helped make international arrivals at Dulles among the fastest in the country. Learn more about all the changes at flyDulles.com.

Passengers looking for a bite to eat before boarding a flight home will find numerous new restaurants – from celebrity chef-owned Bar Symon, to local favorite &Pizza, to French offering Bistro Atelier. And travelers searching for something special – or a last minute gift – now have new choices like Mont Blanc, Burberry, Thomas Pink and Washingtonian Express, to name just a few. The changes are part of a near-complete redevelopment of all the stores and restaurants in the airport.

outbound flights dropping over the past few years - live wait-time information for each of the two main security checkpoints are available online – flying out of Washington Dulles International is easier than ever. And now, with the advent of ‘Dulles Passport Express’ self-service kiosks in the international arrivals areas, flying into Washington from overseas just got faster too.

The Games present an amazing opportunity for our region and our communities as we honor and celebrate our everyday heroes – first responders – who do so much to serve and protect us all.

O pinio n

In just a few weeks, thousands of athletes will descend on the greater Washington region from across the world. And for most of those world travelers, their first stop will be at Washington Dulles International Airport. And the airport wants to make sure they have a memorable experience. Across Washington Dulles International Airport, changes over the past year are providing enhanced shopping and dining opportunities, increased speed through security checkpoints, and, in just the last few months, faster processing for many passengers arriving on international flights.

The Fairfax 2015 World Police & Fire Games will take place from June 26 to July 5, 2015. 12,000 athletes from over 70 countries are expected to compete in 61 sports in 53 area venues.

”With an event of this magnitude, there are a lot of early assumptions related to venues and competition dates. As the bracketing process moves forward, we are able to see areas in which we are able to scale back our needs,” said Bill Knight, Fairfax 2015 President and CEO. “In the case of ice hockey we found that we were able to fulfill our competition needs with three venues instead of four. While we are sorry to remove Kettler from our list of host venues, we appreciate and thank Arlington County for their support of the Games.”

“We have tried to be as flexible as possible with registration deadlines while

Based on the bracketing process, Fairfax 2015 also announced that a decision has been made to remove the Kettler Capitals Iceplex from its final competition venue list. The ice hockey competition will be held at three other venues within the region. A supporting competition shuttle hub planned for Arlington to support hockey games will also be eliminated. Additionally, it was announced that Indoor Soccer, Indoor Rowing and Wrist Wrestling competitions will each be shortened by 1 day.

Bu s in e s s

Unlike in past Games, there are hard deadlines for registration for most sports. While there are some exceptions for sports where individuals can be added easily, such as Rowing, Triathalon and the Half Marathon, Games organizers will not be accepting walk-up registrations as has been done in previous Games. Teams who have provided their minimum rosters however, may continue to add team members beyond registration deadlines up until maximum roster space has been reached.

ensuring the bracketing process runs smoothly and venue space and date considerations are managed responsibly,” said, Fairfax 2015 COO, DJ Mackovets. “Coming out of the first bracketing session, we are pleased to be able to extend the deadlines for a number of sports and hope that this will give our public safety athletes additional time to make vacation and travel arrangements to participate in the Games.”

Educa t io n

Following a week long bracketing session in which Fairfax 2015 and World Police & Fire Games Federation officials met to determine the positioning of registered teams into various divisions, it was determined that registration would remain open for most sports beyond the originally scheduled April 30th deadline. The exceptions to this extension are Basketball 3 x 3, Rugby, Indoor Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Badminton, Crossfit, Golf and Ice Hockey. All other sports registration will close May 31st and beyond unless maximum registration numbers are reached in advance of those dates. Based on their current registration status, it is expected that Baseball, Lacrosse and Paintball will be the next sports to be closed out.
