The Meals Tax:

An Increasing Boon For Loudoun Towns Margaret Morton

A

mmorton@leesburgtoday.com A waitress serves Sunday brunch at Market Table Bistro in Lovettsville, where residents pay a 3 percent meals tax. The tax brings in millions a year in revenue for Loudoun County’s towns.

L if e s t yle s C l as si fi e d Opi ni on

s Loudoun municipalities begin developing their annual budgets, one levy is providing a booming source of revenue: the meals tax.

Anyone heading out for a hamburger and a shake or a more formal three-course dinner should know they are indirectly contributing not just to the bottom line of the eatery in question, but also boosting the revenues of the particular Loudoun town in which they are eating.

The hit can add up by the time one totals the town meals tax—which ranges anywhere from 3.5 percent to 5 percent in Loudoun—the 6 percent state sales tax and the server’s tip. But, overall, most restaurateurs and town leaders say they don’t hear too many complaints from customers.

The tax is applied to the price of a meal, takeout or prepared food. State law allows cities and towns to adopt meals taxes by resolution of the governing body, but county governments are required to win voter approval at referendum—and relatively few counties have done so. In 2012, the most recent year available from the state auditor of public accounts, the meals tax accounted for 22.2 percent of total tax revenues for large towns, 7 percent for cities and 2 percent for Continued on Page 17

Williams was elected to the Broad Run District seat three years ago. He said the current allRepublican board has worked to address residents’ top concerns, including congestion, education and taxes.

he race for the job of chairman of Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors got even more interesting this week.

Supervisor Shawn M. Williams, who represents the Broad Run District and serves as the board’s vice chairman, announced Monday that he would seek the GOP nomination for county chairman. The move ended almost a

month of speculation about whether an incumbent supervisor would go after the seat in the wake of longtime Chairman Scott K. York’s surprise announcement Jan. 7 that he wouldn’t run for re-election.

Williams, a Marine Corps veteran who works as an attorney for Sprint, is now slated to face Leesburg lawyer Charles King for the Republican nod.

The winner of that contest would square off with Democrat Phyllis Randall in November.

hile nursing her 7-week-old son at a gym in Ashburn, Jill DeLorenzo was asked to move her breast-feeding to the women’s restroom.

She refused and continued to nurse, uncovered.

Later, the manager called the business’ attorney, and DeLorenzo was shocked to hear the gym was in the legal right.

“I had no idea Virginia’s breast-

feeding laws were so terrible,” said DeLorenzo, who has two young sons whom she nurses. “We are so behind the times.”

The Old Dominion is one of three states that heavily restricts where women may breast-feed, and a pair of bills that are quickly gaining support in the General Assembly aimed to change that.

A bill sponsored by state Sen. Jennifer T. Wexton (D-33), of Leesburg, and another in the House of Delegates sponsored by Del. David Albo (R-42), of Springfield, would allow women to nurse children in any place they are legally allowed

Ice chips were sent flying in every corner of the Village At Leesburg on Saturday as the shopping center hosted its second annual Winter Ice Fest and Mega Block Ice Carving Competition. Professional carvers, toting chainsaws and chisels, lined the sidewalks in front of the shops to create detailed sculptures. Within just a few hours, massive chunks of ice took the form of dinosaurs, horses, dragons, professional athletes, and superheroes, among other creations.

The day’s sunshine and just-above-freezing temperatures offered perDarren Sharp haps the perfect setting for the competition, warm enough to draw a big crowd and cool enough to keep the sculptures from disappearing. By Tuesday, however, many were becoming merely memories as temperatures began to rise.

port for his motion, pointed to data that shows Loudoun County Public Schools has a low percentage of students considered academically atrisk compared with other Northern Virginia school systems, yet tallies some of the lowest SAT scores.

“If we have fewer at-risk students, we should be scoring higher than other jurisdictions,” he said.

“There’s an outlier here, and that’s class size.”

Loudoun’s teacher-to-student ratio in the high schools is 26 to 1, well above any of its neighboring jurisdictions. “We have a serious issue here,” Hornberger added.

Rose voted against the measure, saying there was not enough research to indicate small class sizes result in improved student achievement. “At least not enough that I can say I’d like to spend $3.6 million on it.”

Turgeon and Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run) also opposed the motion because of its cost.

equalized figure.

Vice Chairwoman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) and Debbie Rose (Algonkian) cast the only two opposing votes on the final School Board figure. Both said they did not want to send a spending plan to the supervisors that was more expensive than what Williams recommended.

“I cannot in good faith support a larger amount than what the superintendent proposed,” Turgeon said. “Not only am I here to advocate to the teachers and the students, I’m also an advocate for the taxpayer.”

CLASS SIZES REDUCED

The most expensive line item added to the budget was $3.69 million to hire 40 more teachers to reduce high school classes by an average of one student, from the current 29.7 average. Last year, the board set aside enough money to reduce classroom sizes at the elementary level, which at the time were among the highest in the region.

or the first time in recent history, the Loudoun County School Board adopted a larger budget than that recommended by the superintendent.

The board tacked on another $1.25 million to Superintendent Eric Williams’ proposal Jan. 29 to adopt a $982.14 million operating budget for next fiscal year that restores some of what was lost during last year’s reconciliation process and realizes several board members’ priorities set at the start of their term three years ago.

It restores summer school and nine middle school dean positions, reduces the average high school class size by one, retains library assistant positions and includes $17.4 million to give all employees a pay raise, at an average of 2.5 percent.

It also prepares for a 2,522-stu-

dent jump in enrollment and the opening of two new schools, Riverside High School and a yet-to-be named Brambleton-area elementary school.

“This is certainly a defensible budget,” Bill Fox (Leesburg) said, noting that the Board of Supervisors already indicated there would be a funding gap of at least $17 million between the superintendent’s budget and anticipated county revenue, assuming the supervisors opt for an equalized tax rate.

“We’re still going to have some challenges here,” Fox added. “But I would encourage the Board of Supervisors to approach this budget the same way we did and look at the merits of the budget instead of the final number.”

County Administrator Tim Hemstreet was scheduled to present his budget recommendations to the Board of Supervisors on Wednesday. He was to present two tax-rate options: the current rate of $1.155 per $100 assessed value and the

come as Deputy County Administrator Linda Neri retired after 40 years of service in Loudoun.

Hemstreet is reorganizing his office in the wake of Neri’s retirement. Though he’s not adding any positions to the county administration staff, no one will hold the “deputy county administrator” title in the new structure. Instead, Young and Middaugh join three other current assistant county administrators: John Sandy, Charles Yudd and Julie Grandfield.

oudoun’s government has hired two assistant county administrators who have experience serving in similar jobs elsewhere, County Administrator Tim Hemstreet announced last week.

Kenneth Young is being promoted from the position of senior project manager in Hemstreet’s office, and Robert Middaugh, most recently county administrator in James City County, will start effective Feb. 12.

“We had a very strong and competitive applicant pool as we conducted a nationwide search for these positions,” Hemstreet said in a prepared statement. “Bob and Kenny both stood out as exceptional leaders and managers, with extensive experience at the top levels of local government. Assistant county administrators are critical to the success of the operation of our county government, and I believe Bob and Kenny will be great additions to my senior executive management team.”

Young has been senior project manager since joining Loudoun’s government in 2012, serving as the staff liaison to the Board of Supervisors’ Transportation and Land Use Committee.

Before coming to Loudoun, Young served in several capacities in jurisdictions across the country, including working as assistant town administrator in Capitol Heights, MD.

Before his service in James City County from 2010 to 2013, Middaugh was assistant city manager in Miami Beach, FL, from 2001 to 2010. County Attorney Leo Rogers, who came to Loudoun in November, also previously worked in James City.

FOREIGN INVESTMENT PLAN WILL BE BUDGET ISSUE

A county supervisors’ committee agreed Monday night to further discuss a strategy to attract more foreign investment to Loudoun.

The Economic Development Committee voted 3-0-2 to recommend the full Board of Supervisors take up the matter in a work session on County Administrator Tim Hemstreet’s budget proposal for the next fiscal year. County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) and Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) were absent from the meeting.

Loudoun Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer told the committee that he would need to hire an additional staff member to focus on trying to get more foreign companies to locate in the county, but he didn’t provide a dollar figure on exactly how much should be spent on the overall foreign effort.

That number is something that the board could discuss in a work session, Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles), who chairs the committee, said after Monday’s meeting.

newest parks.

Brambleton Community Park spans two parcels, at 22376 and 22377 Belmont Ridge Road. It’s situated on both the east and west sides of the road, north of Briar Woods High School, Loudoun’s Department of Parks, Recreation & Community Services noted in announcing the names last week. The site to the west of the road includes four full-size and two smaller baseball diamonds. The east site includes two football fields and one soccer field.

Broad Run Valley Park is located within the Loudoun Valley Estates subdivision in Ashburn. The property consists of 131 acres along the Broad Run stream valley corridor, with nature trails, open space and interpretive signs.

The county Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the park names Jan. 21.

SIX FARM BREWERIES APPLY FOR ZONING PERMITS

Sports

Six farm breweries have applied for Loudoun zoning permits in the days after the Board of Supervisors approved rules for the small operations Jan. 21, county Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer said Monday night.

“So that went very, very quickly,” Rizer told the supervisors’ Economic Development Committee.

Supervisors and Loudoun government staff worked on regulations for the businesses for months, and the locality was the first county in Virginia to adopt rules for the operations.

Breweries are allowed on farms under state law as long as crops grown on site are used in the production of beer there.

Several entrepreneurs had been waiting for the supervisors’ action so they could open farm breweries, and one operation outside Hillsboro, the Old 690 Brewing Co., began selling beer even before the local regulations were in place. n

House OKs Greason’s Mathias Bill, 98-0

GRANITE COUNTERTOPS

bill to permit the creation of specialized license plates promoting awareness of childhood cancer was headed to the state Senate after being overwhelmingly approved by the House of Delegates on Tuesday.

The legislation, submitted by Del. Tag Greason (R-32), was OK’ed by a vote of 98-0.

Greason, of Ashburn, was inspired to act by 13-year-old Mathias Giordano, who died in December. Mathias became well-known in and around Leesburg after being diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, in July 2012.

“It has been amazing to watch Mathias’ vision become a reality,” Greason said in an email from Richmond, “and it is inspiring to know a small child can make such a huge impact.”

The bill, which would need approval from the Senate and Gov. Terry McAuliffe before becoming law, directs the Department of Motor Vehicles to issue license plates that say “Cure Childhood Cancer” and bear the gold ribbon indicating awareness of the issue.

It includes an emergency clause that allows the measure to take effect when McAuliffe signs it rather than on July 1, when most newly approved bills become law.

In addition, Greason noted on Twitter that when the House adjourned Tuesday, it was to do so in the honor and memory of Mathias. n

ven if it hadn’t been the day after the Super Bowl, sports metaphors would have been appropriate for Tony Barney.

“I’m getting in the batter’s box,” the 63-year-old said at lunchtime Monday at Joe’s Pizzaria in Sterling. “I’m going to take the swings.”

Barney is a former minor-league baseball player and volunteer football coach at Park View High School and for the Lower Loudoun Boys’ Football League, but the game he was talking about was politics. The longtime Democratic activist seeks his party’s nomination for the Sterling District seat on the county Board of Supervisors.

That position is held by Republican Eugene A. Delgaudio, who was first elected in 1999. But to reach a matchup with the incumbent, Barney first must best Koran T. Saines, a humanresources professional 30 years his junior who also wants the Dems’ nod.

Barney, a native of California, jokingly used a famous quote from a Golden State legend, the late President Ronald Reagan, to describe that contest, saying Monday that he wouldn’t use his opponent’s “youth and inexperience” against him.

But he was serious when saying that he wants to “restore respect and accountability” to the Sterling District office. That was a reference to allegations that Delgaudio misused his office and county resources. Following a grand jury investigation, the Republican ultimately was not charged with a crime in the matter, and an attempt last year to recall him from office failed.

The specter of that case remains, though, and not just in Sterling. Delgaudio’s attorney in the matter, Charles King, faces Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Shawn M. Williams in the battle for the GOP nomination for county chairman this year.

On other matters, Barney, a semi-retired IT consultant, said he wants to ensure that Loudoun schools are properly funded and that full-day kindergarten is offered countywide.

He referred to the idea that a quality educational system is not only good for residents but also important when attracting businesses.

When companies decide where to locate, the thinking goes, they want to make sure that schools are good for their workers’ children and can educate the next generation of employees.

“Especially with the new technologies that are coming out,” Barney said.

And if more education spending meant an increase in the real estate tax rate, the candidate said he would try to offset that by eliminating user fees. For example, he said, tolls shouldn’t be collected on a road once that thoroughfare has been paid for in full.

Barney also said he disagrees with the concept of the special tax district that funds improvements to Rt. 28. The owners of land in that district have to pay 18 cents per $100 of assessed value more than those who own property elsewhere in the county.

“We can’t keep gouging people,” he said.

And Barney pointed to his time on Loudoun’s Cable and Open Video Systems Commission, now called the Communications Commission, as evidence that he can lead.

That group, which deals with cable television issues, contained an equal number of Republicans and Democrats. So when chairing it, Barney said, “I kept everyone focused on the common goal of ‘Let’s get things done.’”

The candidate is married and has one grown daughter. He moved to Loudoun in October 1989. n

to be. Current law allows breast-feeding only on property that is owned, leased or controlled by the commonwealth.

“Virginia is drastically behind on this,” Wexton said. “The way that our laws nationally are evolving in this is definitely trending toward understanding what women have to go through to breast-feed, and also recognizing the important public health concerns and the health benefits of doing so.”

She said men and women, Republicans and Democrats, are lining up to support the bills in the House and Senate. The Senate Courts of Justice Committee is digging into the details of SB 1427, and House Committee on Health, Welfare and Institutions is considering HB 1499.

Wexton said she’s not heard from one legislator who’s against the proposal, although those who have concerns that women nursing in public is a form of indecent exposure may come out of the woodwork. “If I do get pushback, it just goes to show that they don’t understand.”

Virginia law does exempt mothers engaged in breast-feeding from indecent-exposure laws.

A joint resolution passed in 2002 also “encourages” employers to provide unpaid break time and appropriate space for employees to breastfeed or pump.

DeLorenzo plans to testify before the General Assembly about her experience.

After the situation at the Ashburn gym, the mother of two held what she called a “nurse-in” inside the gym lobby with about a dozen other mothers in November.

“I didn’t want to just cause a firestorm.

I really just wanted to see changes made,” she said. “Nobody should interfere with a mother feeding her child—no matter how that child is fed—when that mother is in any location where she is authorized to be.” n

Over the past decade the meals tax has provided a sizeable source of revenue for Leesburg and four of the six western Loudoun towns.

Round Hill does not have a meals tax. Hamilton adopted a 4 percent meals tax in 2007, but the town has no establishments currently preparing meals for sale within its boundaries.

Leesburg, where the population hovers around the 48,000 mark, has the second-lowest meals tax at 3.5 percent. The next largest town is Purcellville, with a population of about 8,300. Its

counties. In 2013, 115 out of Virginia’s 190 towns were listed as having a meals tax.

While Loudoun towns have varying meals tax rates, the maximum figure allowed by state law for counties is 4 percent. In Loudoun, voters overwhelmingly defeated a county meals tax referendum three times—in 1992, 1998 and 2008— despite an attempt in that last year to earmark proceeds specifically for education.

Then, in 2012, the current Board of Supervisors voted 5-4 to request that the General Assembly authorize the county to enact a meals tax and other non-real estate revenue sources available to municipal governments without voter referendum. However, after pressure from anti-tax advocates, two supervisors in that slim majority changed their minds, and the item died.

Leesburg first imposed a meals tax—then set at 2 percent— in 1986. Bob Sevila was mayor at the time. “I don’t remember too much uproar,” he said this week, “and it allowed us to keep real property taxes and other fees reasonable.”

Sevila, who was mayor from 1982 until 1992, recalled the tobacco tax, which came later, raising much more opposition as local merchants were fearful their customers would go outside town to buy cigarettes.

After he left office, Sevila led the public policy committee for the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce, where support for a county meals tax was being explored. But that did cause quite an uproar, and Sevila said the chamber took a hands-off position.

Purcellville leaders say 70 percent of those who eat in the town’s many restaurants are from out of town and that those customers are helping to pay for government services, such as police and transportation. Director of Finance Elizabeth Krens said the meals tax has helped the town council hold real estate taxes steady for the past six years.

“We grew so fast in a decade; we’re the commercial hub of western Loudoun,” she said in a recent interview. “I think of the [meals tax] as the cost of my meal, along with the tip.”

Purcellville Mayor Kwasi Fraser made reduction of the meals tax rate part of his campaign plank during last year’s town elections, and he continues to advocate a 1 percent reduction. He says that decrease could be offset by revenue from new establishments and improved governmental efficiencies. Krens said the revenue currently generated by 1 percent of the meals tax equates to 2.7 cents on the real estate tax rate.

Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd put the choice frankly: “It’s a significant amount of our revenues—without it you’d have to increase the real estate tax on everyone or cut back services.”

Restaurant operators say they hear few complaints about the added cost to consumers.

According to Jarret Velasco, a 10-year employee at Puccio’s delicatessen on Loudoun Street in Leesburg, “It’s noticeably higher than other places, but we don’t really get a lot of complaints about it. A lot of the customers don’t notice it, and it doesn’t really hurt on our end.”

Middleburg Mayor Betsy Davis said she thought diners assumed the tax was part of the cost of the meal, and she hasn’t heard any complaints about it. “It’s an assumption—they don’t

meals tax is the highest, at 5 percent. Middleburg, the first Loudoun town to impose a meals tax, in 1985, is at 4 percent. Lovettsville’s 3 percent meal tax rate was established in 2009, and even tiny Hillsboro, with a population of about 100, established a 4 percent meals tax in 2012.

The tax does not just apply to restaurants— but also to grocery stores, fast food outlets, breweries and wineries, coffee and chocolate shops, and convenience stores or gas stations—any place where prepared food is available for purchase. The revenue streams are notable, particularly in Leesburg, Purcellville, Middleburg and Lovettsville.

In Leesburg, with its many eating establishments, the tax is budgeted to bring in $4.7 million for the current fiscal year—about 9 percent of the town’s total revenue. The town’s finance staff attributed increases over the past few years to the roster of new restaurants opening at the Village at Leesburg. The meals tax began at 2 percent and was increased to 2.5 percent in 1991. It has held at its current 3.5 percent rate for the past two decades.

In Purcellville, particularly over the past five years, tax revenue has increased significantly from its 43 meals tax-paying sources, and is budgeted at more than $1.4 million this year. Purcellville’s meals tax was first established in 1996 at 3 percent. It rose to 4 percent in 2002, then reduced to 3 percent in 2004, and raised back to 4 percent in 2006. That rate held until last year, when the council raised it to 5 percent.

Middleburg expects to raise $500,000 in meals tax revenue from 16 establishments this year. The town’s revenue has increased significantly over the past year because of meals tax income from Salamander Resort & Spa.

Town Manager Martha Mason Semmes said the levy has a significant impact for town residents by helping to keep real estate tax rates down.

Middleburg’s meals tax rate started at 1 percent in 1985, increased to 3 percent in 2000 and was hiked to its current 4 percent rate in 2006.

In Lovettsville, with far fewer establishments paying the tax, the income is still budgeted at $65,000 for FY15. The town earmarks meals tax revenue to pay for capital projects, including the East Broad Way streetscape improvements.

Hillsboro has one source of meals tax revenue—the Hill Tom Market—but it contributed a meaningful $2,400 to the town coffers last year.

think twice about it,” she said.

Rebecca Dudley, co-owner and general manager of Market Table Bistro in Lovettsville, said she hears gripes every now and then, but she noted they are more frequent at Market Table Burgers’ eatery in Purcellville, where the 5 percent tax hits harder.

At Magnolias at the Mill in Purcellville, General Manager Sean Malone describes himself as being anti-tax and said he’d love to get rid of the meals tax on a philosophical basis. But, he also said that Magnolia’s does a thriving business and surmised that people “are so numbed” to taxes in general that they take it in stride and assume it to be part of the cost of dining out.

Where the tax does put Magnolia’s and its sister restaurant, Tuscarora Mill in Leesburg, at a disadvantage is in the catering business.

When competing against caterers elsewhere in the county, the added tax can put their bids at a disadvantage.

Tuscarora Group President Kevin Malone said it seems unfair to single out one industry.

“We’re not whining, but we’d like to have a level playing field,” he said. n Staff reporter Mike Stancik contributed to this story.

losed-door discussions with developers about how to secure land for schools needed in Brambleton started with school and county officials almost three years ago.

Then when enrollment numbers came in well above projections in recent months, School Board members worried whether they would need to haul trailer classrooms onto the sites of Loudoun’s most overcrowded schools to buy time until they could get the land.

But last week they got the good news they’d been waiting for.

Brambleton developers agreed to proffer a total of 101 acres for uses as elementary school, middle school and high school sites.

“Congratulations,” Sam Adamo, executive director of planning, said to School Board members at their Jan. 27 meeting.

“We are now the proud owners of a relocated elementary school site, middle school site and high school site in Brambleton.

Thank you all for your hard work over the years.”

Vice Chairman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge), who represents that area, pumped her fist in the air when Adamo made the announcement.

“This has been a long time coming,” she said.

Initially, school officials considered locating all three schools on a 85-acre site on the east side of Evergreen Mills Road near Creighton Road. But, as they talked about how the schools would need to share fields and parking lots, they realized they would need a second site for the elementary school.

“We just couldn’t make it work,” Turgeon said.

As the negotiations went on, developers offered to provide a second site, 16.8 acres near the intersection of Northstar Boulevard and Creighton Road, for an elementary school if the county Board of Supervisors gave them the OK to build an additional 506 homes in the area.

“We felt, considering the needs for that area, that the additional 500 homes would be worth absorbing,” Turgeon said.

“These schools are desperately needed.”

Now that supervisors have approved the development plans, the elementary school (ES-27) will be set on a fast-tracked construction timeline to be completed by the fall of 2016, in

time to take students from overcrowded elementary schools.

Creighton’s Corner Elementary, for one, is expected to reach 1,300 students this fall, 350 more than its planned capacity.

To ensure the tight design and construction timeline is met, the School Board is expected to vote next week to give Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) the authority to sign all of the landdevelopment approvals.

“There are going to be a boatload of approvals coming...

We need to keep up with them to keep these schools moving forward,” Adamo said.

The middle school (MS-7) is expected to be built in time for students to go there in the fall of 2018 and the high school (HS-11) is set to open in the fall of 2020.

But Turgeon said Brambleton probably would need another school before too long. Enrollment at Rosa Lee Carter and Moorefield Station elementary schools are expected to surpass their capacities this fall.

“You certainly can’t say that the school needs for Brambleton are met with these new schools,” she added. “The immediate needs are, but there will be future needs. I don’t want anyone to think we’re resting on our laurels.” n

Broad Run’s Brown Knocking Down Obstacles Ben Trittipoe

InsideNoVaSports

s a freshman wrestler at Broad Run High School, Timmy Brown was “thrown to the wolves.”

That is how Spartan head coach J.J. Totaro described Brown’s initial campaign on the mats. Weighing less than 80 pounds in the 106-pound weight class—high school wrestling’s lightest grouping—Brown repeatedly took his lumps as he did not win a varsity match all season.

“He was just getting killed,” Totaro said.

“Most kids would have quit.”

But not Brown. He persevered and by the time his body matured, Brown was ready to show what he was made of. A conference champion, region runner-up and third-place finisher at the Group 5A state championships as a junior at 106 last season, he is on his way to more accolades as a Broad Run senior.

Brown enters Friday’s Conference 14 Championships at Tuscarora as the favorite in the 113-pound weight class. He brings a 44-2 overall record with 32 pins (116-47 for his career with 67 pins) into the competition and has won titles at the NOVA Classic, Loudoun County Championships and the inaugural Joe Verciglio Memorial Tournament at Chantilly.

Totaro said one thing Brown has improved on greatly is learning from his mistakes. Brown suffered a 6-2 loss to Thomas Edison’s Robert Garnett in the 5A North Region finals last year, but he defeated Brown by a 2-0 score in the NOVA Classic in December.

“The loss he had in the state semis last year put a fire in him,” Totaro said. “But at the same time, the poor kid thought he had let everyone down by not getting to the state finals. He found a new level, with the state finals as his goal, and he’s knocking down every obstacle one at a time until he gets to where he wants to be.

“That’s something you can’t coach,”

Totaro said. “That is one of those things a kid either has or not. All you can hope to do is manage it and bring it out of them. He’s a phenomenal kid.”

After his freshman season, Brown said he rededicated himself through working with the Ashburn Wrestling Club. That competition helped him finish fourth in Region II and qualify for the Group AA state tournament as a sophomore.

“With the Ashburn Wrestling Club, I got to work with a whole bunch of great kids,” Brown said. “We went Bill Kamenjar/InsideNovaSports to a bunch of tournaments Broad Run’s Timmy Brown prepares to pin his opponent while scoring two points in his match against Potomac Falls. in Ohio and Pennsylvania and wrestled against some (108-40 for his career) is 36-4 with 26 pins at times,” Brown said of possibly wrestling in really good talent.

uss Staggs has only been teaching drama at Loudoun Valley High School for a year and a half, but he’s already making a splash. A group of talented high school actors under Staggs’ direction swept top awards at a prestigious state theater competition last fall and are preparing to take their show on the road to compete on a national level next month.

Students from the Purcellville high school won awards for best actor, best supporting actors and ensemble performance and brought home trophies for lighting and sound design.

They performed an original play “The Trial of Ygor,” written by Virginia playwright Brian Wrestler, who has collaborated frequently with Staggs over the years. The play is a twist on the Frankenstein story, telling the tale from the point of view of the Ygor character, the hunchbacked henchman initially introduced in early film adaptations of Mary Shelley’s classic novel.

An exceptional group of sophomores, juniors and seniors in Staggs’ 23-member upper-level drama class (nicknamed “über -drama” by participants) took the Virginia Theatre Association’s state competition by storm last fall.

“They are an incredibly tight-knit, hardworking ensemble of kids,” Staggs said of the group. “It’s probably the strongest group that I’ve had collectively. They’re not just talented, but they’re all very, very effective ensemble members. They work very well together.”

Sophomore Charlie Trochlil was named

The unassuming Trochlil says a little good fortune played a big role in his win. As a smaller, youngerlooking actor, he’s often assigned comic or “innocent” roles, and the Ygor character was right up his alley as an actor.

“I think I was exceptionally lucky because we had such an incredible script. So much of theater is based on appearances and type cast. I was just lucky in that the title role happened to

be my type,” Trochlil said.

Juniors Matt Geczy and Patrick Dahlman were awarded All-Star awards for best supporting roles for their portrayals of the trial’s presiding judge and Victor Frankenstein respectively.

A trio of student actors (Alie Campbell, Brendan Wagner and Darius Fraser) won for outstanding embodiment of a character for their portrayal of the monster, and the troupe also took the prize for outstanding ensemble.

Junior Jo Renich won for outstanding lighting and senior Keagan Boal for outstanding sound, impressing judges with their dramatic lighting and gloomy, mechanical sound. Judges mentioned that the technical aspects of the play were so effective that they almost became characters in the show. And members of the cast recognize the importance of that technical excellence.

“For the actors, I don’t think the lines we said onstage would have been nearly as impactful had the lighting and sound not have been so superior in quality,” Geczy said. “It fit so well and it created an atmosphere and an environment that completely immersed the audience.”

For Staggs, the awards sweep is a coup in his second year at the school, after taking the place of iconic drama teacher Ike Stoneberger, who taught at LVHS for 27 years.

For Staggs, whose first job was succeeding his own beloved drama teacher at his alma mater, Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, taking over a well-established, awardwinning drama program is nothing new.

“I’m well versed in filling big shoes,” he said. “It’s a hard thing. You’re never going to be like that person, but I like to think that I bring something uniquely me to the program.”

After graduating from James Madison University, Staggs, now 37, gave up plans to pursue a creative writing degree when he was

recruited for the position at Great Bridge. He taught in Chesapeake for 12 years and met his wife performing Shakespeare in the Hampton Roads area (the couple now lives in Sterling).

After moving on to a performing arts magnet school in Massachusetts, Staggs returned to Virginia to launch the drama department at the newly built John Champe High School in Aldie in 2012.

Staggs and Stoneberger had gotten to know each other over the years through competitions and became closer once Staggs arrived in Loudoun. When Stoneberger announced his retirement in 2013, Staggs jumped at the chance to take over the program.

“In talking to [Stoneberger], we both found that we had similar philosophies on what good theater was,” Staggs said. “He was already doing some good work with the students here, not only personally but professionally, stylistically, too. I think the transition was relatively smooth.”

The troupe is brushing the dust off the play, which it has not performed since November, and getting ready to take it to Chattanooga, TN, for the five-day Southeastern Theater Conference, one of the largest theater festivals in the country, where they’ll compete against 20 top schools from 10 states.

This higher-level competition will mean upping their game a bit. While at the state competition, plays were done in a minimalist, mobile theater-style in a small space, in Chattanooga, competitors will perform at professional theaters (the LVHS troupe will be performing at the historic Tivoli Theatre). Sound and lighting as well as their performances will need to expand, cast members said.

“Our job now is to make the show physically bigger,” Trochlil said. “Everything needs to become bigger. The set needs to become more

elaborate. We need to take advantage of the bigger spaces we’re going to have.”

In addition to the prospect of performing at a high-level competition, the trip itself will be an adventure. Following its March 5 performance, the troupe will attend workshops and seminars, as well as watching lots of plays from other top-notch high school performers, which is one of the highlights for the LVHS actors.

“When we were going to VTA, the state competition, I was really looking forward to seeing all of the other shows,” Dahlman said.

“There was some really spectacular stuff there.

So now I think that’s going to follow into SETC because we’re going to go there and see some of the best in the country.”

The trip is not cheap and will be funded largely by performers’ families. The group is fundraising to offset some of the projected $15,000 cost for transportation, hotels and fees.

The cast will put on a one-night-only performance at LVHS on Tuesday, March 3, the evening before their departure for Tennessee. The $5 admission for that show and any additional donations will go toward defraying the cost of the trip. The group has also started an online campaign at www.gofundme.com/lvhssetc.

Staggs encourages area residents to catch the show before he and his students take it on the road.

“I always tell the students our jobs are to go to put something on stage that no one’s ever seen before and that they’ll talk about afterwards, whether it’s good or bad, as long as we’re really stepping outside of the box and doing something new,” Staggs said. “There’s a little bit of a twist at the end [of “Ygor”] that I don’t want to give away, but we’ve yet to go without an audience gasping in absolute surprise at the end.” n

sive plan to fix missing roadway links and traffic bottlenecks, allocating $750 million in capital funds for transportation improvements over the next six years. These key improvements reduce commute times and raise the quality of life in our community by letting parents spend more time at home or at leisure with their families instead of stuck in the car.”

The father of three maintained that nothing is more important to him than ensuring that county children receive the best possible education.

“During the first three years of my term, I have voted to increase funding to LCPS by approximately $155 million, raising the expenditures per student by 11.5% over the last three years,” he wrote. “These increases have allowed the School Board to ensure that teachers have received a raise every year, and I am proud we have accomplished this without raising taxes. I plan on continuing my great working relationship with the new LCPS Superintendent Williams and my colleagues on the School Board.”

Reached after he made his announcement Monday, Williams repeated a contention he made following York’s decision not to run: that a county chairman should have at least some supervisor experience before being elected to lead the board.

That would eliminate King, although Williams noted what he called his opponent’s good work as a Republican activist.

“It’s not any slight to Charlie,” Williams said of his bid.

And he said that recently he had been encouraged to run by lots of folks in the community.

“I guess I just needed to get comfortable” with the idea of a countywide chairman campaign, Williams said of the time he took pondering the move.

He said that he expects to announce endorsements this week and that he has several potential candidates in mind who could succeed

AT LOUDOUN L o udo un NeNEWS ws

him in the Broad Run District.

In addition, his colleague, Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles), echoed Tuesday the importance of experience to a chairman hopeful.

“I have said from the beginning that I think the county is best served by a chairman who has experience serving on the Board of Supervisors,” Letourneau wrote in an email. “Supervisor Williams has worked hard on the board and has been an integral part of what we’ve accomplished on transportation, economic development and improving county government. He’ll be ready on day one to keep up the positive momentum.”

King, meanwhile, said that Williams’ entry into the race just means that he’ll have to spend money and time on a nomination fight that could have been used in the general election. But he maintained that he was “absolutely” still gunning for the chairman position.

Williams’ decision to seek the chairman’s slot means there will be new occupants of at least four seats on the nine-member Board of Supervisors next year. In addition to York, Supervisors Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) and Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) are not running for re-election.

Reid and Clarke are finishing their first terms, while York is completing his fourth four-year cycle as chairman, which followed one term as Sterling District representative. No candidates have been identified for Williams’ Broad Run District seat.

Reid’s announcement last week [See story, Page 15] that he wouldn’t run leaves only one candidate in the Leesburg District: Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd, a Democrat. And the sole hopeful in the Blue Ridge District thus far is Republican Tony Buffington. It’s likely, however, that other candidates will emerge to face Umstattd and Buffington.

Loudoun Democrats haven’t finalized how they will pick their nominees for offices this year, but the county’s GOP committee is scheduled to decide its nomination process when members meet this week. n

School Budget Continued from Page 3

SUMMER SCHOOL, FULL-DAY KINDERGARTEN

The board found agreement on an amendment to fully restore summer school and to fund Williams’ full-day kindergarten plan. Board members reluctantly cut summer school out of the FY15 budget in April as part of an effort to bridge a $38 million gap between its funding request and the money allocated by the Board of Supervisors.

It will cost $1.2 million up front to restore the full summer program, but all but $550,000 of that will be covered by student fees for an online learning initiative called Virtual Loudoun.

The board agreed on a trimmed-down version of Williams’ full-day kindergarten proposal that will open 45 new full-day classrooms in school buildings that have space.

Williams’ proposal would have added 52 new classrooms to the current 23 to provide full-day programming for all 1,437 Loudoun kindergartners who are considered academically at risk, and leave another 438 spots open for students to be chosen through a lottery.

The adopted plan will cover kindergarteners whom school leaders say will benefit most from a full school day, and leave fewer spots open for a lottery. But it will cost almost $1 million less.

Board members are split on whether the merits of offering an extended school day has longterm benefits for all kindergartners, but most agreed during last week’s meeting that those who are just learning English and live below or near the poverty line would reap the most benefits.

“With this we will move from providing fullday kindergarten to 11 percent to closer to 35 percent,” Hornberger said. “That’s huge in one year.”

Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) hoped to go even further in that effort by providing a full-day program for all kindergarteners in four schools that are Title 1 eligible, a federal designation for schools that have a high number of low-income students.

For $344,915, universal full-day kindergarten programs could be offered at Forest Grove, Sterling and Meadowland elementary schools in Sterling, and at Frederick Douglass Elementary in Leesburg.

The board voted unanimously to do so a year ago, but the decision was reversed during reconciliation.

“This board supports full-day K for the population identified as at-risk, but I ask that we look at

those who are unidentified, those who sit just above the poverty line,” Sheridan said.

Her motion failed 4-5, with Fox, Turgeon, Hornberger, Rose and Jeff Morse (Dulles) opposing.

IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES

Board members agreed to carve out money to cover the rising cost of health care and will be asking employees to bear some of that cost.

Premiums will go up by 9 percent next fiscal year, an improvement over what school leaders feared would be as high as 15 percent.

To get down to the 9 percent figure, the board made several plan changes, including: • a pharmacy co-pay increase of $5; • co-pay increases from $15 to $20 for primary doctor visits and from $30 to $40 for visits to specialists; • a co-pay increase for emergency room visits from $100 to $150; • adding a deductible—$150 for individual and $300 for family—to the more expensive of two health care plans offered to employees, the Point of Service plan, and increasing the max out-of-pocket for that plan to $3,000 for the individual and $6,000 for family; and • an increase in deductibles for the least expensive

of the two plans, the Open Access Plus plan, to $300 for individual to $600 for family, and an increase in max out-of-pocket for that plan to $1,500 for individual and $3,000 for family.

The changes will mean a cost avoidance of $3.1 million.

That should be welcome news for supervisors.

The School Board recently requested $12.5 million from the county to help cover a deficit in the selfinsurance fund. Supervisors have, in committee conversations, expressed support for sending $7 million to the schools but wanted to see structural changes that would ensure the fund was solvent.

MORE TRANSPARENCY, LESS ‘GNASHING OF TEETH’

Morse commended Williams for starting budget talks shortly after he was hired as superintendent in July. He floated plans for full-day kindergarten, a new staffing framework and possibilities to reduce classroom sizes months ahead of his formal budget presentation Jan. 6.

“You didn’t have all the consternation and the gnashing of teeth that we’ve had in the past because we’ve been working on this with transparency for months,” he said. “I’m quite pleased with the board’s performance and the superintendent’s.”

Before the vote, he also encouraged all of the board members to show unity and unanimously support the budget. “We’re talking about one-tenth of one percent more than the superintendent’s recommendation,” Morse added. “It’s one-third less than what the superintendent recommended last year.”

This School Board has a history of making hefty reductions to the budgets drafted by former Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick, who retired in June. In the first year of its term, in 2012, the board cut Hatrick’s proposal by $13.4 million. In 2013, it reduced it by $16.7 million.

The adopted budget will now go to the supervisors as a formal request for a local transfer of $680,549,181, about $60 million more than what the school system received for the current fiscal year.

Regional Impact

N

orthern Virginia business leaders last month sounded an important alarm about the need for more regional cooperation when deciding how best to use the limited funds available to move needed transportation projects forward.

The years-long battle persuading the General Assembly to commit the money needed to break the commonwealth’s key economic engine free from gridlock could be undermined if the region’s leaders look to hoard available funding for their own pet projects rather than funnel the resources to work that will have the greatest impact.

The warning by the Northern Virginia Transportation Coalition, which includes representation from the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce and other business and development organizations, comes after a year of wrestling by regional leaders over the policies to govern use of the money.

It also comes just weeks before the first list of proposed improvements is slated for approval. That includes 26 projects totaling $138 million—including nearly $22 million for three Loudoun priorities—all funded by the first-year collections of regionally allocated transportation revenue. That work will have a significant impact.

Among the areas where the transportation debate continues is over how to ensure localities appropriately use the transportation funding—30 percent of the total regional revenues—that is returned to their sole control, and how to balance investments among highway and transit priorities. Absent responsible actions on the part of local governments, members of the General Assembly will be only too happy to impose additional restrictions on how the money can be used. Several such bills are wending through Capitol Square this session.

However, the new business coalition also raises an even more important issue: Who will advocate funding for politically unrewarding, but regionally critical projects? Who will press for a new Potomac River crossing? Or to convert collector roads lined by neighborhoods to limited access highways to increase capacity on existing pavement? Or create a regional bus network that operates more efficiently than those under local control?

After years of neglect by state leaders, the region’s list of transportation projects that meet the justification criteria for funding may seem endless. However, that does not excuse regional leaders from the responsibility to ensure the money—both that allocated regionally and that under local control—is used to have the greatest positive impact possible.

Parochialism may be inherent in politics, but in this case it represents the greatest threat to the success of a critical partnership. No Northern Virginia locality will solve gridlock on its own, but without true cooperation no regional approach will succeed either.

Filling The Gap

H Dear Editor:

unger is an issue faced by individuals and families across the country and in Loudoun County.

With your help, Loudoun Interfaith Relief is helping to ease the burden of hunger for many. We are overwhelmed by the generosity of the Loudoun community on a daily basis.

We often ask for assistance to meet the need and this community always steps up in a meaningful way.

Loudoun Interfaith Relief is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, beginning its 24th year of service to lowincome families and anyone in need in Loudoun. In FY14, we provided a nutritious variety of food staples such as milk, fresh fruits and vegetables, cereal, peanut butter, tuna, pasta and many other non-perishables to almost 15,000 individuals. This would not be possible without the tremendous support of the Loudoun community.

The donors are too numerous to name individually but consist of organizations, individuals, grocery stores,

More than 320 dedicated volunteers have taken on an immensely challenging role and have been rewarded tenfold with a sense of fulfillment that others in need have been served, thanks to the generosity of our community.

LIR has seen a 28 percent increase in people seeking services in the past six months compared with the same period in 2013. Although food donations are up 14 percent, we are still struggling to meet the demand. Sixty-eight percent of those we serve are working at least part-time, and another 17 percent are actively seeking employment. These are working families with children and often are caring for senior family members as well. We are helping fill the gap that comes at the end of a pay period, when the tough choice must be made among gas, medicine, heat or food.

Although many feel the economy has recovered, we are still helping these families in record numbers.

release date of the budget bill to allow members to have ample review time.

Another topic near and dear to every Loudoun County citizen is transportation funding. This year there is a significant transportation funding bill (HB 1887) in front of us that adjusts how taxpayer dollars are allocated for road and transit improvements and between the various categories of roads. This bill is the first major transportation initiative of the McAuliffe Administration and it is patroned by two Republican House committee chairmen, namely Tom Rust (R-Herndon) of the Transportation Committee and Chris Jones (R-Suffolk) of the Appropriations Committee. It also follows two significant transportation laws recently enacted. The first is HB 2313 from the 2013 session that was a refinancing of our commonwealth’s transportation road construction and maintenance programs.

The second is HB 2 from the 2014 session that requires proposed projects to be tested for their congestion-relieving attributes relative to their cost. A number of us on the House Transportation Committee have spent hours reviewing HB 1887 to be sure there are no unintended consequences.

The bill appears to strike a good balance between road and transit improvements.

Last week, I had a number of my bills move forward to the floor for approval and a few met their demise in House committees. The mortality rate of bills filed which actually become law is about 65 percent so, as in baseball, batting .400 is really not that bad. One bill tabled last week was my bill to reform the Local Composite Index (LCI). This is the formula used to divide up state monies to county and city public school systems. I have had issues with the LCI for years now. This year I filed a bill (HB 1514) to correct a major problem in the LCI whereby Loudoun County is actually penalized for offering a land use assessment program to preserve our rural economy and enhance open space. After winning approval in the House Secondary Education Subcommittee, my bill was tabled on a close 11-10 vote in the full Education Committee where it was opposed by House members from more urban jurisdictions who did not want to see this inequity resolved. I will continue on in this quest to reform the LCI as it continues to treat Loudoun County unfairly.

My next report in two weeks will feature a post-crossover report. n

C l as si fi e d

Dear Editor:

It’s funny how the school board members are so enamored by Dr. Williams’ budget, which is in total more than 80 percent of what the former superintendent asked for before he left. I wonder if top educrats do that to justify and feel better about their current salary level as well as their future increases.

Especially peculiar is: Why are teachers treated like sacred cows? There are so many good teachers everywhere. And unfortunately bad ones are imbedded in LCPS. My daughter, who is a senior, could teach many times better than her ninth-grade teacher who made the class do drawings during Christmas break and cut-and-paste display board group projects (perfect for 3rd graders)—and she is willing to teach for free.

Therefore, before our new superintendent has some grandioso schemes about pay raises for mediocre teachers, perhaps he should get some feedback from students via social media.

Supervisor Buona says there is a $17M gap.

He is right on. That’s about what the superintendent is budgeting for teacher pay increase. Great minds think alike. Congratulations, Supervisor Buona.

In the olden golden days of Loudoun, LCPS per student cost was prorated at around $12,500 including capital projects. Many of our kids went off to good colleges and have great jobs now. $12,500 x 73,500 (LCPS student body) = $918,750,000. We have hit (approximately) that special jackpot number with our current budget. Kudos, supervisors.

I understand that Dr. Williams is an intellectual. But everyone here in Loudoun is also very smart as well, and we make do with what we have.

Therefore, it’s incumbent on our sensible supervisors to use their pen (and some phone calls, too) to executively order cuts. They represent not only parents who squall for more and more, but also us who square with reality: Things are more expensive these days especially with Obamacare, so we tighten our purse strings. So should LCPS. Whether we spend $988M or $5B, it will never be enough for some folks. Education isn’t only technology; it’s hard studying, faithfully doing homework, and thinking a ton. Excellent teachers who teach well should be rewarded with bonuses.

“B” rated teachers should be banished.

At some point in the sliding scale of increased LCPS spending, someone has to say the truth so I will say it: Christ is King and ruler over heaven and earth, how much more Loudoun. He wants to bless LCPS but no one is allowing Him. Not even one verse from the Bible is taught to shed light on any subject taught; not even a sentence of prayer is allowed to ask His wisdom and guidance regarding problems facing the schools (drugs, bullying, security, etc). So LCSB keeps on bowing to the whining of parent-adults who haven’t grown up inside.

Dear Editor:

Brian Davison should end his onerous campaign to force LCPS to use and publish SGP data to evaluate teachers. Not only is that data undetermined for any subjects other than reading and math, by its nature, it’s unlikely to be available for all of the students in any classroom. Furthermore, VDOE’s own Frequently Asked Questions specifically warn against using the data this way.

Several have speculated that Mr. Davison intends to profit from this data by selling it somehow, or he has an axe to grind as a parent, or worse, he is using the spectre of it as a red herring to disrupt our public schools or the present FY16 budget process for whatever reason.

I am far more concerned about the latter.

Regardless, he’s been monopolizing public discussion about this budget process online and on Facebook and unfairly accusing Superintendent Williams and Chairman Hornberger of acting unethically.

This must stop.

As reported in Leesburg Today Jan. 14, and as anyone who has seen his more than 150 comments as “Virginia SGP” and “NOVA Accountant” under its online articles, Mr. Davison stridently insists that VDOE’s SGP data be published, provided to parents (not so), and that it should be used as a primary indicator to evaluate and report the effectiveness of both teachers and schools (impractical at best).

On Jan. 26, he charged that the SGP data is “part of your student’s scholastic record” (unlikely), that LCPS is violating federal law by not basing teacher evaluations on that specific data (not so), and that the data should be made publicly available (unwise).

Somehow he believes that teacher compensation should also be based on SGP data: “My personal belief for future years is we should pay effective teachers more and weaker teachers less,” implying that the 30-step pay scale should be truncated after 5 steps. He proposes publishing a list of teachers ranked according to their “effectiveness” as measured solely by SGP data.

Despite VDOE itself specifically recommending against such use in its SGP FAQ, Mr. Davison maintains that unless LCPS administrators use this data for these purposes, they are failing to be transparent to parents and taxpayers, or worse, they are violating the public trust. They are instead demonstrating wisdom.

Even if it were a good idea to do this, it could be done only if the data were available for all of the students. It’s not. That intrinsically missing data makes conclusions about entire classrooms (much less their teacher) impossible, and it makes reporting the data to parents problematical: why can par-

Never Enough

L

ast week saw a steady rampingup of intensity as committee hearings on legislation increased in number and duration and the first wave of committee-recommended bills made its way to the floors of both houses. The cut-off date for the filing of all bills to be considered by the 2015 Session was 3 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 30. Both the Senate and the House of Delegates have until midnight (yes, midnight) on Crossover Day, Tuesday, Feb. 10, in which to complete their work on bills originating in their respective houses and communicate approved bills over to the other chamber.

The last few days before crossover will feature long floor sessions, extended debate on controversial bills (that always seem to get put off until the last few days), and review and approval of the annual budget bill.

It may be helpful to briefly review the annual budget process we follow in the General Assembly. In even numbered years, we review and approve a biennial budget that funds our commonwealth for two years, from July 1 of an even year to June 30 of the next even year. As you can imagine, that process is never without a bit of drama because, as a state with a constitutionally-mandated balanced budget requirement, a true governmental shut-down occurs unless both houses and the governor approve a biennial budget bill by midnight on June 30 of the even year. Last year, the biennial budget was not completed until June 23, just a week before the deadline, due primarily to a vigorous debate on Medicaid Expansion.

In the odd years, there is always a budget bill that is functionally a mid-course correction to the approved biennial budget, accommodating new economic news and adjusting funding priorities for the second year of the biennium, i.e.: this year from July 1, 2015 until June 30, 2016. Since the previously approved biennial budget is in place funding our commonwealth through the end of this biennium, there is no threat of a shut-down even if both houses never reach agreement on a budget bill this year.

On this coming Sunday afternoon, Feb. 8, the House Appropriations Committee will complete its work on the budget bill and, for the first time, House members who are not on that committee will see how the governor’s proposed budget has been altered by amendments filed by members such as me and by mark-up by the Appropriations Committee. Then, the House of Delegates will need to study, debate, amend if deemed necessary and act upon that budget bill by the crossover deadline only two days thereafter. Does that sound like an unduly compressed review schedule?

I think so and have advocated an earlier
