New Leaders Emerge During Leesburg’s Transition then Leesburg police Capts. Clagett H. Moxley and Jeffrey C. VanGilder—with a combined 67 years of experience—retired in December. “There were a lot of people who had been here a long time who left, and they took a lot of knowledge with them,” said Clark Case, who took over as director of Finance and Administrative Services in September. “The challenge has been to acquire the knowledge that they walked out the door with.” The transition period began in January 2014 when Town Council identified Dentler, Wells’ right-hand man for seven years, as Leesburg’s next town manager. He joined the town staff in 1996 as the director of the Parks and Recreation

Department. Wells and Dentler worked together on the shift in leadership over the next several months. “I think [the transition] has gone very well. I think the reason for it is that John and Kaj worked very closely for almost a full year before John left,” Umstattd said. “It was John’s goal to make sure that if Kaj was selected, he would know the ropes before he took over. And they succeeded in that effort... Kaj does have his own ideas on how departments should be organized and the key missions of those departments.” Continued on Page 28

he October 2013 announcement by Leesburg Town Manager John Wells that he would retire the following fall kicked off a chain of events that has resulted in a significant restructuring of town government. “There’s been a lot of changes over the last year or so in the town staff, but they have been encouraging changes,” Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd said. Umstattd, who has held her post since 2002, is one of the longest-serving town leaders, first

elected to the Town Council in 1992. This has been one of the municipality’s bigger transitions in terms of staff, she said in an interview. Wells retired in October after 10 years leading the town government and moved to Pennsylvania to be closer to family. Deputy Town Manager Kaj Dentler was quickly tapped to step into the post, a move designed to promote continuity. Then the town’s finance director and assistant director left last summer to take jobs elsewhere. In September, Town Attorney Jeanette Irby, who had served in her role for six-and-a-half years, was appointed by the General Assembly to replace retired Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne. And

ou get this, and you’re our winner.” Fourteen-year-old Shiv Lamba heard the words of the Loudoun County Regional Spelling Bee’s pronouncer just before 10 o’clock Monday night. He made the sign of a cross over his heart and stepped to the microphone. The word that stood between him and the championship: agama. He asked the usual series of questions: the word’s origin (Latin), its definition (a genus of old world terrestrial lizards including many that are of bright and changeable colors), and any alternate pronunciations (yes, two). Then he asked the pronouncer, Smart’s Mill Middle School Principal Will Waldman, to repeat the word two more times, before taking a deep breath and quickly rattling off five

hey haven’t finalized a total county budget for FY16, but Loudoun supervisors Monday night agreed on $1.4 million in line item additions they want to see in that document. County Administrator Tim Hemstreet proposed a $2.2 billion budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and the Board of Supervisors is slated to approve a spending plan by early next month. The main point of contention this year, as it usually is in every budget season, is how much local tax revenue is allocated for Loudoun’s public schools. The $982.1 million budget the School Board approved for FY16 anticipates nearly $25 million more in local dollars than Hemstreet’s proposal. But the supervisors on Monday focused instead on spending for other parts of the coun-

tions was 8-1, with Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) as the sole dissenter. He suggested that the clerk position was unnecessary. The supervisors also agreed on more than $415,000 for four additional sheriff’s office positions: two deputies to focus on road safety, and a crime analyst and a customer service assistant for the Western Loudoun Station that’s scheduled to open next summer. The deputy sheriff positions were approved unanimously. The vote on the Western Loudoun Station jobs was 6-2-1, with Delgaudio and Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) opposed and Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) absent from the dais when the matter was decided. In addition, supervisors unanimously agreed to spend nearly $342,000 to hire two additional assistant fire marshal positions. In terms of economic development, the Continued on Page 18

ty’s government, earmarking money beyond what Hemstreet recommended for public safety, economic development and other needs. The public safety additions were split among the court system, the sheriff’s office, and fire and rescue services. More than $369,000 would go toward expenses associated with adding a local Circuit Court judge. Loudoun’s General Assembly delegation learned late last month—and late in the state budget process—that the county would see funding for a fourth judge in the 20th Circuit, and Leesburg lawyer Douglas L. Fleming Jr. was chosen for the job. Fleming’s post will require the hiring of four additional, associated positions, however, and those were what the supervisors agreed to fund: a deputy court clerk, a bailiff, a legal services specialist and a staff lawyer to help the judge with research.

Some of those labs could include large glass doors that open to a large commons area or to the outdoors—similar to a garage door—and many of the classrooms were shown with glass walls. “Labs don’t have to be solid brick boxes,” Stantec’s Rob Winstead said. The goal of the design concepts is to create a building that can be easily changed to whatever the needs of the school system are decades down the road, he added. “I think a lot of times we add on to our buildings because they’re not adaptable. The idea here is to maintain a lot of adaptability.” The core of the proposed design is what the architects called Innovation Commons, which would double as the dining area and as a large gathering space that could hold a

wo weeks after there was talk of another construction delay for the Academies of Loudoun, school leaders, now pushing ahead toward a 2018 opening, got to see what the advanced technology school that has been so long in the making could look like. The Academies of Loudoun will combine expanded versions of the existing Academy of Science and C.S. Monroe Technology Center, as well as a new Academy of Engineering and Technology. The building, at 300,000 square feet, will serve at least 2,500 students who attend every other day or 1,250 students per day. And if last week’s presentation was any indication, it will look like no other school in Loudoun County. Architects from the Alberta, Canada-

based firm Stantec unveiled several design concepts for some of the facility’s classrooms, laboratories and meeting areas at a March 4 meeting of the School Board’s Ad Hoc Committee on the Academies. “This really begins the formal design phase of the project,” Derk Jeffrey, senior principal at Stantec, told board members. A team of three from the architect firm flipped through a PowerPoint presentation that showed anything but typical classrooms. What they called learning studios would be furnished with tables, desks and whiteboards on wheels so that the space could be changed for whatever the lesson or course might call for. Other learning areas included computer labs with plenty of desk space for a group to gather around a monitor, makerspace labs with areas for students to create prototypes and small gathering rooms for six or seven people to meet and work on projects. The architects referred to “high-inten-

oudoun Water announced Friday afternoon that Beaverdam Creek Reservoir would temporarily reopen for public activities June 1. The utility bought the 600-acre reservoir in January 2014 as part of a $30 million deal with Fairfax City that included the Goose Creek Reservoir and Goose Creek Water Treatment Plant. Then, on April 22, 2014, Loudoun Water restricted public access to Beaverdam to evaluate the property, sparking a wave of criticism. Fishermen, kayakers, hikers and rowing teams especially enjoyed the reservoir, and were upset when Loudoun Water said safety and liability concerns had to come first as the agency looks at what’s planned for a $17 million overhaul. Friday’s news should delight those who liked to spend time on the water in the Ashburn area. With a portion of the necessary work done there, Loudoun Water said, Beaverdam will be open for recreation this summer and next before it would have to be closed again for another round of construction. The aim is then to have it permanently reopened in 2018. “Temporarily opening Beaverdam now balances Loudoun Water’s responsibility to protect and maintain the reservoir as a longterm drinking water resource with the community’s desire for a recreational destination,” the agency noted in a statement. The surprise announcement came following a shake-up at Loudoun Water during which General Manager Fred Jennings was fired and retired GM Dale Hammes brought back to run the authority. Jennings previously stated that it

would not be possible to allow public access to the property until all the work was complete. While the reservoir has been closed, Loudoun Water was able to completely drain it, replace deteriorated gate valves in the inlet control tower, and conduct topographic mapping of the dry land, which allowed for accurate calculation of its water storage volume. “We knew when we acquired it that a lot of work was needed to evaluate, understand the infrastructure capabilities, limitations and the repairs that were required, about $17 million worth of repairs,” Loudoun Water board Chairman Johnny Rocca said during a press conference at the agency’s office. When the reservoir is completely refilled, public access to the property will be temporarily overseen by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, and Loudoun Water is working on an agreement for that agency, now called NOVA Parks, to manage it permanently. Loudoun Board of Supervisors Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) praised Loudoun Water’s work and pointed out the reservoir’s dual importance as a place to store water and a place where county residents like to spend time. So he said he was “tickled” that it will be opened again for recreation in June. York, however, also emphasized that the reservoir is “first and foremost” a place to store drinking water, so it needs to be kept as pure as possible. Or, as Rocca said, “Don’t put anything into that water that you don’t want to see come out your spigot.” He said that he loved spending time at the reservoir when he was younger, joking that that might have included a “little libation,” and that he also has taken his children to Beaverdam. n

TOWN OF LEESBURG NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Town of Leesburg proposes to increase property tax levies 1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total assessed value of real property by 3.28 percent. 2. Lowered Tax Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.180 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.”

Bu s in e s s

3. Effective Rate Increase: The Town of Leesburg proposes to adopt a tax rate of $0.183 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $.003 per $100, or 1.6 percent. This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.” Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage depending upon the type of dwelling and individual property assessments.

oudoun County fire and rescue crews helped save two dogs that fell through the ice in separate incidents Friday. The first case happened just after 7:30 a.m. March 6 when a 911 call alerted dispatchers to a report of a person trapped in an icy pond along Whipp Drive in southeast Leesburg. The dog and its owner were out for a walk. Finding their regular path was covered in snow, they took an alternate route along a retention pond. The owner slipped and fell onto the ice. When she fell, the dog broke free, chasing after a gaggle of geese near a fountain in the center of the ice-covered pond. As she was attempting to retrieve the dog, the owner fell and into the icy water. She was able to get out and get to a neighbor’s to call for help. Upon arrival, firefighters found a dog in the water and struggling to get back on the ice approximately 70 feet from edge of the pond. Two members of the ice rescue team, Firefighter Wade Mahaffey and Firefighter Jason Ilowite, suited up and entered the water. They brought the dog safely to shore at 7:51 a.m. Both owner and dog were checked out at the scene for potential injuries. The owner

transported her dog to the veterinarian for further checkout. The second rescue happened just after 10:36 a.m. when a 911 call reported a dog trapped at a retention pond along Ridgetop Circle in Sterling. Arriving on the scene, firefighters observed a small dog struggling in the water approximately 120 feet from shore. Witnesses reported that a second dog may have gone underwater. Initial attempts to reach the dog using a tower truck were unsuccessful. Then members of the ice water rescue team arrived on the scene. Once suited up, Firefighter Jeremy Mader entered the water to rescue the animals. Mader reached and rescued the first dog about 10:58 a.m. The second dog was pulled from the icy water moments later, but attempts to resuscitate it were unsuccessful. The surviving first dog was transported to an area veterinarian by Loudoun County Animal Services.

A dump truck operator remained hospitalized early this week after being rescued from under a 1-ton pile of ice and mud Sunday. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, the man was attempting to clear ice from the top of his dirt load at about 2 p.m. at a site along Glenn Drive in Sterling when the gate opened and he fell out and was buried. Emergency crews worked for more than an hour to dig him out. He was flown to Inova Fairfax Hospital for treatment of injuries described as life threatening.

PACKAGE FROM ISRAEL GETS BOMB SQUAD RESPONSE

The Loudoun County Bomb Squad responded to a report of a suspicious package March 3 at a home in Sterling. The package ultimately was deemed safe. A Sterling resident called the Sheriff’s Office at about noon last Tuesday to report that a box was delivered to her home from Israel, according to Loudoun County Sheriff Chief Information Officer Liz Mills. The resident, who lives on the 900 block of Poplar Court, told authorities that she was not expecting a delivery. Mills could not comment on what was inside the box to protect the resident’s privacy, but said, “What was inside was deemed to be completely harmless.”

HAMILTON BARN DESTROYED IN FIRE

The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office has determined that the fire that destroyed a Hamilton Barn March 5 was accidental—caused by a heat lamp placed too close to bedding materials. The fire resulted in an estimated $200,000 in damage. At 1:30 p.m. crews from Hamilton, Purcellville, Round Hill, Lovettsville, Leesburg, Lucketts, Ashburn and Arcola were called to the fire in the 16000 block of Hamilton Station Road. First arriving units reported the 10,000-squarefoot barn fully involved in fire with partial roof collapse. Access to the structure was limited because the long, narrow driveway and heavy snow accumulation. Crews were able to prevent the fire from spreading and remained on the scene for several hours overhauling the structure. The owner was able to rescue some of the livestock that was housed in the barn. However, several lambs and some machinery were lost in the fire. The owner of the property was treated at the scene for a burn injury sustained while trying to rescue the animals. One emergency responder also was injured while re-equipping the apparatus after the incident.

BROAD RUN FARMS HOME DAMAGED IN FIRE

The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating a house fire that occurred March 4 in Broad Run Farms. County dispatchers received a 911 call at about 10:30 a.m. last Wednesday reporting a fire at 19080 Youngs Cliff Road. Crews from Cascades, Sterling Park, Lansdowne, Ashburn, Leesburg, Moorefield and Fairfax County responded to the scene to find a single story residence with smoke and active fire conditions. Firefighters determined the fire was in the attic. The fire was brought under control in about 40 minutes. No injuries were reported. n

eesburg Town Manager Kaj Dentler last week unveiled his FY16 budget proposal and Monday night the Town Council opened a series of work sessions to take a closer look at the spending plan. Renée Lafollette, Leesburg’s newly named director of capital projects and public works, briefed the council on the capital improvement program. Council members also asked questions regarding proposed budget enhancements, such as town employee raises, technology upgrades and police overtime pay. “There have been no projects removed from the CIP,” LaFollette said. “We also wanted to limit the CIP to projects that have realistic scopes of work, identified funding sources and realistic schedules.” For reference, the construction plan adopted by the council for fiscal 2000 included 130 projects while the fiscal 2016 CIP draft includes only 32. New projects include an extension of Hope Parkway at Sycolin Road, a new play area at the AV Symington Aquatic Center, a traffic management system, an airport stormwater management plan/drainage study and a United States Customs general aviation clearance facility. “That’s good news about the airport to get a customs area in there,” Councilwoman Katie Sheldon Hammler said. “It can turn into an international airport.” The only projects removed from the CIP adopted last year are those that have been completed, LaFollette said. Eleven projects that have been or will be completed by the end of next fiscal year, June 2016, include: downtown improvements sections in several areas; Potomac Crossing Park; right turn lane improvements at Edwards Ferry on the Leesburg Bypass; Phase 4 of the Lowenbach Street improvements; Phase 3 of the Sycolin Road widening; a water meter change-out program; and an airport perimeter fence. Because of project management costs, a few projects saw their budgets changed. The budget for downtown streetlights was reduced by $1.3 million. Renovations to Catoctin Skate Park increased by $144,800. The budget increased by $1.6 million for the Tuscarora Creek Flood mitigation. And Phase two of the lower Sycolin sewer improvements has its budget increased by 685,500. The FY16 capital budget calls for spending $20.6 million in total, an increase of 48.2 percent from FY15. Hammler and Councilwoman Suzanne

Fox asked about the renovations to Catoctin Skate Park, which has seen attendance decrease in recent years. Assistant Town Manager Scott Parker said the park is in poor condition and the wooden ramps are outdated, something Councilwoman Kelly Burk has heard from residents. “Through public outreach, we want to engage the public to see what the kids want there. There’s a litany of different features that can be presented,” Parker said. “Whatever the kids want we can incorporate into the new design.” Parker said the community outreach could begin July 1, with construction during the winter to permit opening the new skate park in spring or summer of 2016. In terms of enhancements, Hammler asked Leesburg Police Chief Joseph Price about the specifics for the proposed $42,000 increase to pay for police overtime. He said the department’s criminal investigations division has experienced a shortfall of roughly $35,000. “Criminal investigators are detectives involved in major cases, and we’re looking at multiple hours for multiple cases. Drug investigations are also above the normal work period,” Price said. “$10,000 of that figure we developed to be council initiatives, such as targeted enforcement and additional presence for council meetings and First Fridays.” The Town Council will meet Saturday for a work session at 9 a.m. to continue the budget discussion, and its adoption is scheduled for April 14. Details on the proposed budget can be found at leesburgva.opengov.com. n

LIVING AT ITS FINEST.

ore than 60 vendors filled the Ida Lee Recreation Center on Saturday afternoon to sell fine arts, crafts, accessories and plenty of food at Leesburg’s third annual Spring Bling. Vendors ranged from a familyrun jam company based in Chesapeake to a Pennsylvania couple that offered mittens created from recycled sweaters. “We had a really good experience last year,” Anne Cortez, of Fresh Batch Jams, said. “You develop relationships with other vendors as you go and everyone suggests this one.” Cortez’s sister-in-law, Kim Cortez, started Fresh Batch Jams 11 years ago after her 2-yearold son was diagnosed with leukemia. To help pay for expenses, Cortez started making strawberry champagne jam using a recipe from her mother. “We called it Jamming For Jake, and he’s fine at 13 now,” Anne Cortez said. “He’s like any other teenage boy.” After Kim Cortez’s son went into remission, the demand for jam was still there so she started making jam full time two years ago. During Saturday’s event, eight different varieties ranging from honey apple butter to triple berry were available for purchase. Susan Wise and her husband travelled from Pennsylvania to set up shop on the basketball court at Ida Lee with their mittens created from recycled sweaters.

Leesburg Today/Mike Stancik

“We knew you guys had a lot of snow this year,” Wise said. “We decided to try a spring show and we’re doing well.” Wise, her husband and son all take part in operating the company, which gets sweaters from Goodwill, eBay and friends and family to process into wash-and-dry mittens. “Sometimes the ugliest sweaters make some of the nicest mittens,” Wise said. “I saw it at another craft show six-and-a-half years ago and I thought why not make them. It’s a lot of fun.” Local organizations were in attendance, too. The Women’s Club of Loudoun recently celebrated its 70th anniversary, and members were on hand to sell various treats for the third straight year. Brownies, chocolate chip cookies and snickerdoodles were some of the favorites, and proceeds go straight to area charities. “Any fundraiser that we do we use to either local, state, national or international charities. We don’t spend any of our fundraising money on our own entertainment,” Vice President Jane Sowards said. n

LOUDOUN BOARD DENIES DULLES SOUTH REZONING

fter hearing from more than a dozen speakers opposed to the project, Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors last week denied an application to rezone 97 acres in the Dulles South area for a housing development. Supervisors voted 6-3 against the plan to permit 81 single-family homes on the north and south sides of Braddock Road. That number of dwellings translates to a housing density that’s more than double what county planning policies envision for that area of the county. But the idea was that, in exchange for the ability to build more homes, the Stanley Martin Cos. LLC would give Loudoun up to $2.3 million that could be used for transportation projects as well as donate 14 acres for a county park. The developer also pledged to do a land swap with the county school system. The Loudoun school division owns a middle school site in the area, and Stanley Martin would have acquired that tract in exchange for one that was viewed as a better place to put the building. But the supervisors’ vote heeded the wishes of a crowd that gathered March 4 to oppose the project. The speakers, most of whom live in the nearby Willowsford development, followed other opponents who appeared at a meeting Feb. 11. They said that the project wouldn’t fit in the area, that it would unnecessarily strain infrastructure and that supervisors needn’t just act in the interest of land developers. And the contributions that Stanley Martin pledged wouldn’t be enough to outweigh the burden additional homes would put on government services, said Denise Goff.

operations between 2016 and 2022, with a focus on potential service changes related to the extension of Metrorail’s Silver Line. The TDP also will concentrate on improvements to the entire county bus system, including local service, commuter options and paratransit service. The county will host two open-house-style events on the issue March 25: one from noon to 3 p.m., and the other from 7 to 9 p.m. The meetings will be at the Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison St. SE in Leesburg.

SUPERVISORS SEEK TO SPARE TWO HOUSES IN COURTS PROJECT

The plans to expand Loudoun’s court complex call for the demolition of four buildings in downtown Leesburg, but county supervisors want to see if at least half of those structures can be saved. The Board of Supervisors voted 5-4 last week to direct the county staff to work with a consultant to determine the cost of saving at least the original portion of buildings at 110 and 112 Edwards Ferry Road. County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said he met with Leesburg Mayor Kristen C. Umstattd and understands that there is concern about taking down not only the houses at 110 and 112 Edwards Ferry but also the structures next to them, at 106 and 108 Edwards Ferry. Relocating the four structures, which are in the Historic District, would cost $1.6 million, while demolishing them would require an expense of only $200,000. York, however, seeks a study to figure out how much it would cost to split the difference between those all-or-nothing options. Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn), on the other hand, was adamant about not spending any more money trying to figure out how to save the Edwards Ferry Road structures. Thirteen different designs for the $87 million courts expansion couldn’t figure out how to preserve the buildings, Buona said at the supervisors’ March 4 meeting, so it’s useless to spend more time and taxpayer money on the effort. “It doesn’t work,” he said. “The designs just don’t work.” Buona voted against the new study, as did Supervisors Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles),

Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) and Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian). “I’ve just had enough of delaying the project over this issue,” Letourneau said. Delgaudio had another way of characterizing this debate over the courts expansion, which includes a parking garage and a 92,000-squarefoot General District Court building at the northwest quadrant of the Edwards Ferry Road-Church Street intersection. “Root canal is attractive compared to this,” he said. York’s action stipulated that the county spend no more than $25,000 on this latest study. He said during a break in the March 4 meeting that county staff members are expected to report back to supervisors by next month. Supervisors also voted unanimously to have the staff solicit proposals for relocating the Edwards Ferry Road buildings, and they voted 7-2 to require cooperation with Leesburg officials in the preparation of that request for relocation proposals. Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) pushed for these measures. Buona and Volpe voted against working with Leesburg on the RFP, and Buona said he couldn’t imagine how anyone could make a move of the buildings work financially. But, he offered, “Surprise me, if you can.”

SUPERVISORS BACK FUND FOR UTILITY PROJECTS

Loudoun’s Board of Supervisors approved a policy last week for deciding how to pay for future water and sewer projects when existing community face health problems. The supervisors voted unanimously for a plan that aims to organize how the locality funds such utility matters. “Historically, the county has paid for projects on an ad-hoc basis,” said a staff report prepared for the supervisors. Now, however, money will be put aside each year that can cover capital costs, making for a total of $21.5 million by FY25. The idea is that the county would pay for all of the work if at least 51 percent of households in the community served by the improvements were deemed to be of low to moderate income, said Ben Mays, Loudoun’s chief financial officer. In areas with less than 51 percent of households being classified as low to moderate income, or that are composed of businesses, the county would front the money for the project but would be paid back by revenue collected in a special tax district, Mays said. For example, tax districts were used to finance projects to extend utilities to residents near Hamilton and in Broad Run Farms, and to build a sewage treatment plant serving Aldie. n

“It’s like putting a Band-Aid on a gushing artery,” said Goff, who lives in Willowsford. Supervisor Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge), whose district includes the land, indicated that she perhaps could have supported the project if the Loudoun school system had an “absolute need” for the school site it would have received with the rezoning. But she didn’t want to make the move considering that the school division could live with the site it currently has. Board Vice Chairman Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) said he was swayed by the passion of the project’s opponents. However, he criticized their contention that a vote of approval would have set a precedent for the area. And he reminded them of a truth about residents of one subdivision not wanting to see another constructed: “At some point, a developer built your community.” Supervisors Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg), Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) and Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) cast the only votes in favor of the McIntosh rezoning. Reid thanked the opposition speakers for coming to last week’s meeting. But, he said, “I can’t go to war over this one.”

Board of Supervisors decided to spend $123,133 to hire an international business development manager to lead an initiative intended to bring more foreign investment to Loudoun. “They’ve got to have a position that is doing this full-time,” Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said of the Economic Development Department. Letourneau chairs the board’s Economic Development Committee and has been the chief proponent on the governing body for attracting more international businesses to the county. To pay for this position, the department suggested not spending $130,000 on another program, which meant the changes would save Loudoun $6,867. The supervisors voted unanimously to eliminate the $130,000 line item, but the vote to hire the international business development manager was 8-1, with Delgaudio, who previously panned the idea, opposed. The board also voted to spend $150,000 on a wireless upgrade for the Government Center in Leesburg and $92,924 on a training coordinator for the county’s library system. The vote for the wireless computer technology was 6-2-1, with Reid and Delgaudio opposed. It was 7-1-1 for the library trainer, with Delgaudio opposed. Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) was absent from the dais when the votes were held.

By that time, Monday’s meeting had reached a cordial moment. But earlier in the budget session, which was almost four hours long, the atmosphere grew tense, primarily because Delgaudio proposed several spending cuts, none of which was approved. “Don’t waste our time,” board Vice Chairman Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) said. Buona, in turn, said he was embarrassed by Delgaudio’s antics and apologized to the crowd present and to anyone watching cable television or Internet broadcasts of the gathering. And County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large), the only multi-term supervisor on the board in addition to Delgaudio, suggested he had seen similar displays of budget-cutting proposals in previous years. Delgaudio, however, stood by his position of fiscal conservatism, noting that his colleagues won’t necessarily even realize re-election and saying that taxpayers appreciate his work in trying to slash spending. Besides, the Sterling District supervisor said, there was no personal animosity involved with his proposals. For example, Delgaudio said, noting Sheriff Mike Chapman, “Mr. Chapman knows I’m not picking on him.” Discussion of budgetary matters was slated to continue Tuesday evening, as the supervisors’ finance committee planned to take up capital spending needs. n

variety of events, from robotics competitions to award presentations. “This is the watering hole where everybody comes together to share ideas,” Taryn Kinney, senior planner at Stantec, said. Members of the School Board’s Ad Hoc Committee on the Academies—Eric Hornberger (Ashburn), Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) and Bill Fox (Leesburg)—offered mostly positive feedback on the design ideas. “There are a lot of opportunities here,” Fox said, and asked rhetorically, “Wouldn’t it be cool if we, instead of having to rent out space to hold

large events, could hold it in that Innovation Commons space and showcase all of the great things going on in that building?” Jeffrey encouraged board members and school system administrators to continue to share their opinions or concerns about what they saw at last week’s meeting. “This will inform the design going forward,” he said When the ad hoc committee meets again in a few months, they’ll see the site plan, floor plan and building design. “This is an exciting stage,” Jeffrey said. “There’s a lot of work to do over the next 12 months to put this project out to bid by next spring in time for it to open in 2018.” n

Most people are not aware, however, that you can use supplements to pull harmful toxins OUT of your body. Toxins that are robbing you of your good health and that are also making you fatigued by stealing your energy. The pore structure in our feet allow toxins to be pulled out of our body and allow healing nutrients into our body.

Stimulating the reflexology points on the soles of the feet helps draw out the harmful toxins that ruin good health.

experienced, for the first time, the amazing, soothing and cleansing overnight effect of Detox Foot Pads. Detox foot pads are a true healing wonder that go far beyond removing toxins. In fact, they work so fast, throughout the whole body, and so effectively, that most people are shocked when they first use them.

Harmful “Gunk” and Toxins Out, Health, Healing and Energy In Many people are surprised to learn that feet are a key gateway to better health. The Japanese, who enjoy FAR better health than we do as Americans, have known this secret for thousands of years. In fact, the ancient art of foot reflexology is based on Japanese healing methods that date back six thousand years. Acupuncturists know this as well and treat patients for most of their health problems by starting with the feet. Different parts of the soles of our feet significantly affect the health of other areas of the body. This has been proven again and again by numerous medical studies carried out by world-renowned hospitals and universities. The soles of our feet also play an important role in our health by being at the lowest point in the body, where gravity collects harmful, health and energysapping toxins that have no way to come out. This toxic purging happens by gently stimulating the reflexology zones on the feet. And there’s no better health “tool” on earth to help your body remove harmful, built-up chemicals, toxic metals, excess lymph fluid and “gunk” than a Detox Foot Pad. Plus, they are far easier to use than other popular cleansing methods that include fasting, and remedies that violently purge the digestive system.

They Work While You

Sleep so…You’ll be Amazed When You Wake!

Yuck! After just one night of use, this is what a Detox Foot Pad looks like. It has collected built-up toxic “gunk” that has accumulated in and near the lower legs and feet, exiting right through the pores of the feet into the pad.

After applying one to the bottom of each foot before bed, detox foot pads go to work as you sleep. Then, after a night of drawing out and trapping unhealthy toxins, what users see in the morning is shocking. The brown, gunk-filled pad is evidence of what’s inside your body that needs to come out. Once this harmful buildup is removed, most people say they feel “invigorated.” They experience a unique, effective, full-body cleansing from the inside out that allows more energy and better health immediately. Detox Foot Pads are all natural. No chemicals or drugs are used. Only healing ingredients that are designed to draw this unwanted toxic buildup out quickly and then replace it with nutrients that heal your body.

• Helps back, neck and shoulder problems • Sharpens memory and concentration • Reduces stress, anxiety and depression • Smooths wrinkled, sagging skin • Helps relieve arthritis joint pain • Lowers high blood pressure • Clears up bowel problems • Fights obesity • Adds energy and ﬁghts fatigue • Improves sexual dysfunction • Boosts the immune system • Makes for better sleep at night When it comes to quality, industry leader, RESET Soothing Detox Foot Pads, have a reputation for being safe, effective and filled only with natural, potent ingredients, instead of fillers. In fact, they include nine different safe, high-quality, fastacting natural ingredients to draw out the waste in your body that makes you tired, unhealthy and unfocused.

More Focus, Vitality and Energy. No Mess, No Hassle….Just Results!

Doctor-approved Detox foot pads have now been used by millions of people to improve their daily health and energy.

Detox Foot Pads Offer Fast, Full Body Health Benefits No other cleansing method can offer this improved full body health overnight: • Relieves leg and foot pain and swelling • Improves leg circulation for diabetics

To get the fast health benefits that RESET Soothing Detox Foot Pads offer simply apply one to the bottom of each foot before bed. That’s it. No mess or hassle it couldn’t be easier. You’ll love waking up and seeing all the toxins removed. A few things users notice right away is more focus, vitality and energy.

he dichotomy is striking: Up to 70 percent of the world’s Internet traffic flows through the data centers in eastern Loudoun each day, but in the western part of the county, some residents struggle to get a decent Web connection. Supervisors Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) and Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) held a broadband summit last week at Woodgrove High School that aimed to highlight connection problems as well as link potential customers with Internet service providers, especially those who provide wireless signals. As many as 30,000 Loudoun households are estimated to be underserved in terms of Internet access, according to a presentation at that meeting, and most of those are in the districts represented by Clarke and Higgins. A handful of parents at the meeting noted the issue stretches even to homework: Their children are assigned projects that are hard to complete after school because they require reliable connectivity, which isn’t present at everyone’s house. Problem is, the solution to offering them better service won’t necessarily come easy. For one thing, no one in western Loudoun wants to simply festoon the region with scores of antennas, said Mark Foster, who represents the Blue Ridge District on the county’s Communications Commission. That would ruin the scenery, and Foster said, “That’s why we live here.”

In addition, it’s difficult to make Comcast and Verizon, which provide broadband under franchise agreements with Loudoun, extend cable or fiber-optic wiring to more homes, participants at the broadband summit said. And sometimes that’s true even when homeowners are near a service line. “It’s right there,” Clarke said at the meeting. “You can see it.” Another stumbling block is that those agreements, which will be in effect for several more years, were written to concentrate on cable television service, not broadband. Higgins said Monday night that the county needs to encourage alternate providers to extend their service in western Loudoun. Many of those are known as WISPs, for “wireless Internet service provider.” And, he said, at the same time, county leaders can see if anything can be done under the existing franchise agreements to help residents who are Internet-poor in the county that’s been deemed America’s wealthiest. “I wish I could wipe the table clean and start all over again,” Higgins said of the broadband market. The supervisor also said that he was pleased that he and Clarke were able to draw a crowd to Woodgrove last week to discuss broadband issues. Potential customers were able to meet some Internet service providers there, and some in the high school auditorium suggested forging public-private partnerships or establishing cooperative efforts. Representatives of Comcast and Verizon were invited to the meeting but didn’t attend. n

etired Air Force Col. Mike Turner, a former 10th Congressional District candidate, has announced his intention to seek the Democratic nomination for the Loudoun Board of Supervisors’ Ashburn District seat. The 63-year-old said that he’s the first resident of Lansdowne Woods, formerly Leisure World, to run for the county board, and he indicated that a supervisor’s term would continue a professional life built on public service. “We all share a common desire to see our neighborhoods grow and prosper,” Turner said in a prepared statement. “We all strive to create a nurturing environment for our children that promises a bright future built upon a highquality education. We all support an energetic and prosperous marketplace. And we have a reasonable expectation of safe and efficient travel everywhere in Loudoun County.” Republican Ralph M. Buona represents the Ashburn District, and he’s being challenged for the GOP nomination this year by Joe Scalione. Turner said in his announcement that politics ought to be about “negotiation, compromise and progress to achieve sustainable community solutions that benefit the greatest number of people.” He pointed to four key issues that he plans to focus on during his campaign: education, transportation, participation and what he calls “imagination.” In terms of education, Turner wants to

see more investment in Loudoun schools. “Willful underfunding for the past three years has had a significant, negative impact on Loudoun County families and now seriously threatens the quality of our children’s education,” he said. On transportation, he’s concerned about the number of new homes that are being built in the locality, which contributes to putting more cars on county roads. Participation, he said, means getting Loudoun residents actively involved in their community. Turner said that’s particularly significant in Loudoun, which he called a “vital bridge between urban and rural Virginia.” “Governance is a team sport,” he said in his statement. “My job is to keep you informed.

Your job is to participate.” The issue Turner referred to as “imagination” deals with reimagining government, and he said he plans to unveil a proposal called “Shop Loudoun” that would lower property taxes for Loudoun landowners while stimulating county businesses. A 1973 graduate of the Air Force Academy, Turner spent six years as an air-rescue helicopter pilot and the remainder of his 24-year military career as a fighter pilot. He saw duty as a Middle East/Africa senior policy planner on the Joint Chiefs Staff, and is a Desert Storm veteran and a former commentator for CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and NPR. As an officer, he served with Army Gens. H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr. and Wesley Clark. Turner is the executive director of the Military Officers Association of America, a nonprofit foundation dedicated to helping military families. He also has served in leadership positions in nonprofits including the American Red Cross, Wounded Warrior Project and Mental Health America. In Loudoun politics, he is a former chairman of the county’s Democratic committee. He unsuccessfully sought his party’s nomination in the 2008 10th Congressional District race, losing to Judy M. Feder. Turner is divorced and has three children and two grandchildren. n

hose ideas regarding department changes already are coming to fruition. Dentler’s first act was to combine the departments of Finance, Human Resources, and Information Technology and, in doing so, he made his first official hire, Case, to lead the new operation. Case, who spent the past 31 years in Winston-Salem, NC, where he worked heavily in the financial and IT departments, said he was interested in the position because of Dentler’s plan to merge the departments. “The real reason I came is Kaj had reorganized the department and put human resources, IT, and the Finance Department all in one organization,” Case said. “Each of those departments in Winston-Salem reported up a different chain of command. They were very silo-ed. It was difficult to get a lot of things done because you have something in the budget, but it wouldn’t be

in the IT work plan. Or the finance staff could work on something during a busy period, but IT couldn’t. … Having the opportunity to have all of those areas together was something I’d really wanted to do.” Dentler’s decision to hire Case, whom Dentler refers to as a “phenomenal asset,” was a calculated one. Wells, who was known as a financial whiz and helped Leesburg gain tripleA marks from all three bond-rating agencies, was leaving, and Dentler knew he needed to fill that hole. “I’m no John Wells financial mastermind,” he said. But the hire of Case showcased one of Dentler’s strongest assets, Deputy Town Manager Keith Markel said: an ability to assemble an efficient team of employees that works well together. To round out the department, Eileen Nguyen was lured away in September to become the town’s controller after 17 years of working for Loudoun County’s government. Case said

she’s been “super and a real workhorse.” “I think one of the things I do really well is build a team,” Dentler said. “In my eyes, as a manager you have to build a team if you don’t already have one. We lost a lot of leaders over time. So I’m really pleased with the team we’re building. We have strong leaders who want to be engaged and have high expectations.” Dentler also recently announced a hire for his second consolidation of departments. This time, it’s Public Works and Capital Projects, which will come together effective July 1. The departments were split in 2004. Renée LaFollette, the director of Capital Projects, on Feb. 26 was named the director of the new department. She’ll be the first woman to hold the position. Longtime Public Works Director Tom Mason will serve as assistant town manager until he retires in April 2016. “She has been fully invested in the groundwork for several years now when it comes to capital projects,” Umstattd said about LaFollette. “She’s excellent at what she does.”

Another local product new to Dentler’s team is Markel, who’s in Dentler’s former position as deputy town manager. After seven years as Lovettsville’s town manager, Markel decided in September to accept the challenges that come with a bigger jurisdiction. “So many issues within a town are universal, but the magnitude of everything is just so much greater here,” Markel said. “Kaj and John have cultivated such an amazing team of leaders in the town—that’s been the biggest and most pleasant surprise to me.” In December, another familiar face rose to a leadership position. Following the recommendation of two candidates by Dentler, the Town Council promoted Barbara Notar to town attorney. She had served as deputy town attorney since 2008. “Jeanette’s ability to inform the Town Council of the law that affects not only the town but the county and the state was very good, and I hope to continue that ability and hopefully the Continued on Page 31

o round out the current staff, in January, Police Chief Joseph Price named his replacements for Clagett and VanGilder: Vanessa L. Grigsby and Carl L. Maupin. The two have a combined 38 years of experience with the department. Umstattd called the pair “consummate professionals.” “I was absolutely thrilled when Captain Price announced they would be taking the positions of the two that retired,” she said. “We were sorry to see the captains go, but we have two top-notch people to fill their shoes.” Grigsby’s promotion was a strong signal of the changing times in Leesburg, Umstattd said. “I think she’s the perfect example. She’s the first woman ever to be captain in our department, and the first African-American. She’s maybe one of our first officers who graduated from the FBI Academy. We were very lucky to get her into that position.” Amid all the changes in leadership, there looks to be one more position in transition come November: the job of mayor. Umstattd is running as a Democrat for the Leesburg District seat on Loudoun’s Board of Supervisors, and she’s unopposed so far. Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid, a Republican and former town councilman, is not seeking re-election, and no other candidates have come forward. With another leadership change pending, Umstattd had a few words of counsel for those leading the town as it sits at a crossroads in many respects. Town Council and senior staff members are weighing the details of a new parking plan for downtown and a new noise ordinance that is meant to keep the peace among businesses, musicians and residents. They also are creating a new commission with the goal of improving communication and outreach efforts to Leesburg’s growing and diverse population. “We want everybody who lives in the town to feel that this is a welcoming place,” Umstattd said. “That emphasis is new in the last few years and we feel we can do more.” When focusing on those issues, Umstattd said it’s key that each council member has an equal voice. “Going forward, if there should be a new mayor, the new mayor will want to recognize that you have a group of professionals who are on an equal level,” Umstattd said about the council, which was joined by new member Suzanne Fox in December. “The old style was the mayor gives the order and everybody else gets in line, but that won’t work here. Everybody is on the same level. You have to make sure everybody gets equal opportunity to weigh in, credit has to be shared and the strong-hand form of leadership doesn’t work now. I think it’s a power-sharing arrangement that would be most effective.” Umstattd said Dentler is the ideal person to lead Virginia’s largest town as it continues to experience growth and changing demographics. “Kaj’s strength is a real passion making citizens feel welcome. That’s his parks-andrec background,” she said. “Making sure that the organization is very customer-friendly is something he’s fundamentally dedicated to accomplishing. That’s something we need at this stage of the town’s development.” n

Purcellville Business Association Celebrates 30 Years Of Community Leadership Margaret Morton

he Purcellville Business Association’s annual meeting and awards banquet this week marked a special milestone— the organization’s 30th anniversary. Purcellville has had a long association with its business representatives, dating back to the town’s incorporation in 1908, when the leading businessmen decided exactly how the town should be laid out as well as the rules and regulations governing its conduct. Through the years, that partnership flourished, with the business community continuing to sponsor a number of events. A peek at the business association’s minutes show how many of the events taken for granted today were begun by merchants of the town. The minutes also serve as a companion history of the town’s evolution.

the Christmas activities, which were planned in cooperation with the Loudoun Valley Community Center. In September 1984, the organization helped rally support for construction of the new post office. The meeting minutes show Carnell Bowman reporting on the circulation of a petition recommending the Oliver property as preferred location for the new post office and Clements noting that Congressman Frank Wolf had requested mailing addresses be collected from each signatory. A year later, Wolf, who worked hard to support the move of the post office, was invited to be guest speaker. On April 1, 1985, Bowman had become president of the organization, now known—at Clements’ insistence—as the Purcellville Business and Professional Association, a name that was retained until only a few years ago, when it was simplified to the Purcellville Business Association. Dave Nichols suggested that the PBPA inau-

gurate an annual scholarship for Loudoun Valley High School seniors. That program continues today, and on March 19 the organization will sponsor its second annual karaoke competition to raise funds for this year’s installment of the student scholarships. One of the PBPA’s signature actions was to launch a community newspaper. The idea was suggested in September 1985, by Bowman and Bill Still—to publish a weekly newspaper for western Loudoun—and the board of directors recommended the endorsement of the concept to its membership. According to Bowman, the original name selected was Blue Ridge Herald, but it was later discovered the Loudoun Times-Mirror had purchased a newspaper published in Purcellville in the 1940s and 1950s by the same name, and might still have rights to that name—so the new newspaper was named The Blue Ridge Leader. n

Lovettsville To Tackle Comp Plan Review

The connections are numerous. One of the longest serving members is its current president, Jim Bowman, who was there almost from the beginning, when the Purcellville Merchants Association was formed in 1984. And, before him, Kenneth E. Nichols, owner of Nichols Hardware, that celebrated its 100th anniversary late last year, was president of the PMA. In the minutes of the Feb. 27, 1984, meeting, Nichols announced the successful 1983 Christmas promotion of putting holiday trees on town parking meters and having them trimmed by students at Emerick Elementary School. Nichols noted rising interest in the new organization and suggested other activities be mounted during the year to draw customers to town. Later that year, July 2, then-President Bob Clements gave last-minute details of the Fourth of July Parade—today one of the town’s most popular events. Bowman and Karen Russell co-chaired

he Lovettsville Town Council is working with the Planning Commission on plans to begin a review of the comprehensive plan. Town Manager Lazlo Palko said the council charged the Planning Commission to come up with a planning schedule at its meeting this week, at least an

initial kick-off date, to recommend to the council. Palko said the council has agreed with the commissioners’ recommendation not to attempt a complete re-write of the plan at this time, but rather focus on the most urgent topics over the next six to nine months. Those sectors would include: an introductory chapter

to review the long-term vision and overall goals; land use policies covering economic development and non-residential, housing and residential; and policies on transportation, public facilities and utilities. Four committees would be created to handle each topic. Comprehensive plans are required to be reviewed every five years, and Palko said the

town is looking at the possibility of reviewing different segments of the plan each year rather than tackling the whole task every fifth year. The Planning Commission also will begin review of the town’s zoning map, with plans to further update when the Comprehensive Plan is finalized. n

f it seems like kids have spent more time on the couch than at their desks this winter, that may be because Loudoun County schools have been closed or delayed for almost as many days as they’ve been open so far this year. The county’s public school system has had 12 snow days, five two-hour delayed starts, two holidays, one conference day since they returned from winter break Jan. 6. “Lesson plans? Oh, they’ve been changed,” Blue Ridge Middle School teacher Eric Kursman said after the school system tallied its 12th snow day of the year Friday. Fewer days in school has meant less time to cover content ahead of the mandated Standards of Learning exams, which the state does allow to be pushed back. At Blue Ridge Middle School in Purcellville, teachers rearranged course schedules to give students as much time as possible to review ahead of the exams, which started last week at the school. “Without consistently being in school, teachers and students have dealt with significant gaps during crucial review times,” Kursman said, and he added that the inconsistency has thrown off homework schedules, testing plans, and, just as importantly, students’ attitudes.

Kristin Bredice, a fifth-grade teacher at Frederick Douglass Elementary School, admits that every teacher likes a few snow days. But once those days reach double digits, she starts to stress. “We are behind in our curriculum. So, we have to really analyze all subjects to decide what’s the most important to cover,” she said. She’s having to skip a few creative writing lessons, science experiments and other hands-on projects to try to have enough instruction time for math and reading, two subjects she said she cannot rush through. “Each lesson builds and connects with the next, so if you move on and they haven’t grasped the concept, you have created nothing but a weak foundation, frustrated students and stressed teachers.” Last week, some teachers tried to keep up with their lessons via Skype and social media, and others, including Bredice, assigned students homework when forecasts showed ice and heavy snowfall looming. “My students were less than thrilled when they left my classroom on Wednesday afternoon,” Bredice said. Another stretch of no school is just around the corner. Spring Break March 30-April 3, plus the April 6 student holiday for conferences, means another six days off school for Loudoun students. And the county’s public schools will likely not get any of missed instructional

Mother-Son Team Poised For Cybersecurity National Finals

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

Leesburg 11-year-old discovered a love for cybersecurity less than a year ago and is now on his way to go up against some of the brightest young minds in the nation at the CyberPatriot National Youth Cyber Defense Competition this week. Ryan McCrystal, joined by his four team members and coach, his mother Bonnie, will take on the role of a newly hired IT professional and be challenged to find and resolve cybersecurity vulnerabilities in simulated environments. He is one of the youngest at the contest, which was first opened up to middle school students nationwide this year.

The competition serves as the national finals for the CyberPatriot program, which was created by the Air Force Association and sponsored by the Northrop Grumman Foundation to promote cybersecurity knowledge and skills among middle and high school students in a field that has a serious personnel shortage. Ryan and his mother formed a CyberPatriot team about a year ago with several of his classmates at Nysmith School for the Gifted in Herndon. Bonnie McCrystal said what she’d read about the program sounded like a good fit for her son. “It blends his interest with an area that has a real meaning in today’s world,” she said. “And the way they wrap it into a fun,

letters. “That’s right,” Waldman said, triggering loud applause from the audience. Shiv, an eighth-grade student at Loudoun Country Day School, out-spelled 73 other elementary and middle school students to be crowned the champion of the county’s 33rd annual regional spelling bee. But it certainly wasn’t easy. The bee lasted more than three-and-a-half hours and 13 rounds, with some of the rounds knocking out only one or two spellers at a time. Round 10 narrowed the field from six to three with tricky words such as nutriture, mancala and hinnies, which tripped up Smart’s Mill eighthgrader Nicole Seman, last year’s regional bee winner. The final trio of spellers—Cedar Lane Elementary fifth-grader Ashley Ganey, Eagle Ridge Middle School sixth-grader Ayush Sood and Shiv—rallied for two intense rounds. Shiv had a chance at the championship in

Round 11 after Ashley and Ayush missed their words; Ashley misspelled ergasia and Ayush misspelled harriulation. But Shiv missed his chance when he couldn’t spell cabotage. That meant they all started fresh in Round 12. “You’re all still in,” Waldman told the spellers. “Take a deep breath.” A minute later, Ashley misspelled Mediterranean, leaving it to the two boys to battle it out in Round 13 for the bee title. Shiv correctly spelled pasquinade; then Ayush incorrectly spelled forzado to give Shiv the chance to win the event with his final word, agama. Leading up to the final rounds, friends and family members of the young spellers who packed the Stone Bridge High School auditorium sat almost silent so as to not distract the contestants. The dozens of children who lined the stage, however, tapped their feet, swung their legs, bit their lips, squinted under the hot stage lights and wiped sweaty palms on their jeans to ward off nerves. Shiv seemed to cope with any stress he might

Those pieces of advice are just some of the tidbits Tuscarora coach Michael Newkirk and his staff had for their players following their 5A North Region championship loss to two-time region champion Edison last week. He said he wanted them to remember the life lessons that they will get from participating in the state tournament for the first time in school history. The Huskies will face defending 5A state champion Princess Anne, which qualified for its state record eighth straight state tournament and is seeking its sixth state title. “One of the many things I like about this group of girls is that they are sponges,” Newkirk said. “They absorb everything we tell Bill Kamenjar/InsideNovaSports them.

5A STATE TOURNAMENT

uccessful teams often have a go-to player, someone who can step forward in big moments and deliver when the team needs a lift. However, that is anything but the template the Loudoun County Raiders have used to make their third consecutive appearance in the state semifinals and fifth in seven years. The Raiders, who last won a state title in 2009, will take their 25-2 record into the Siegel Center in Richmond on Thursday for the 4A state semifinals with a little less momentum than they have had after losing the 4A North Region final 62-48 to William Fleming Saturday. But the Raiders, who tied Stone Bridge’s boys for Loudoun’s longest winning streak this season among county teams, should be able to “turn the page quickly,” according to their coach Derek Fisher. “This team has always taken the approach that they have won one game 23 times, not won 23 games in a row,” Fisher said. “We hope that approach will serve us well along

with getting back on a regular schedule. Teams have had a hectic schedule due to the weather lately and we think there are some things we can shore up with a regular week of practice.” According to Fisher, the winning streak is a testament to the team’s diligence, but that is not the only thing that enabled it to stand out. Two other factors have been equally as important: player rotation and the team’s unselfishness. When it comes to player rotation, Fisher proudly notes that no player has played more than 20 minutes in a game this season and yet the team has not skipped a beat. “We don’t really have any one player that does it all. We need everyone to play at their highest level and that has happened for the most part,” Fisher said. “We’ve gotten strong contributions from our seniors [Tayler Tibbits, Gabrielle Gillis and Hannah Brenneman] and [juniors] Alyssa Paige and Elisabeth Gianelos have done great as well. Brenneman has been our best perimeter shooter, and our freshman Natalie Villaflor is one of our leading scorers, so it would be tough to pick an MVP.” Fortunately for the Raiders, the seniors

he Alamo Drafthouse Cinema chain has built a reputation for screening unusual movies—from beloved classics to off-the-wall indie flicks, all paired with food and a wide selection of beers, wines and cocktails. And since its opening two years ago, Ashburn’s Alamo has become a mecca for film geeks and fun lovers flocking to see old favorites on the big screen. Northern Virginia’s first and only Alamo franchise, at One Loudoun, screens mass market fare on weekends, but creative director Aaron Prescott mixes things up with art-house material and wacky quote-alongs during the week, pulling in folks looking for laughs and film buffs looking to connect with fellow cinephiles. “What I really wanted to create was a community vibe for film lovers,” Prescott said. “We want to be the place where you go to discover something new.” The quote-along series began as an effort to energize the mid-week scene at the theater, he said. The series often features classics from the ’80s and ’90s: talking back to the screen is encouraged, and props are included. At a recent midweek “Princess Bride” quotealong, audience members were given bells to ring whenever a character spoke the line “true love” and a blow-up sword for battling neighbors during fight scenes. The event also included a pre-movie interview with star Mandy Patinkin broadcast live from the Alamo Drafthouse in Dallas.

Quote-along nights, which have taken off in recent years, have their roots in the 1975 cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” which saw audiences returning to screenings again and again, wearing costumes and talking back to film characters. “Rocky Horror” is the “one that started it all, with everybody interacting with the screen,” Prescott said. “Everybody knows exactly what’s going to happen, Leesburg Today/Jan Mercker what’s going to be said. Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Creative Manager Aaron Prescott works with programmers and distributors across the It kind of stemmed from country to find unexpected films for midweek screenings—from the esoteric to the hilarious. there, and we said, ‘There are a lot of other movies we members can join in with the film’s action ing “Easy Living,” a 1937 Cinderella story can do this with.’” scenes. starring Jean Arthur and Ray Milland.

bringing folks from around the D.C. region to the Alamo, the only franchise in the metro area. Brad Gullickson, 35, of Reston and his wife, Lisa, are enthusiastic participants in the club. Gullickson and a friend launched their ITMOD (In The Mouth of Dorkness) blog (inthemouthofdorkness.blogspot.com) in 2011 with a focus on their favorite films and comics and followed up with a podcast (ITMODcast) last year. For Gullickson, who became a fan of the chain after visiting an Alamo cinema in Austin, the advent of the Alamo in Loudoun County is a dream come true. “I was super jealous and told my wife we need to move to Austin,” he laughed. “And now there’s an Alamo out our way—it was heavensent. We were there opening weekend, and we’ve been there every week since.” The couple recently attended the Alamo’s 1990s classic “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” with a pizza party and are reveling in Alamo’s celebration of all things geeky. “We’ve hit this point in our life, popculture-wise, where we have everything at our fingertips,” Gullickson said. “Things that we thought we were outsiders loving back in the day now are mainstream. We’ve got ‘Avengers’ movies, and we can see ‘Casablanca’ on the big screen every year thanks to the Alamo. It’s a heck of an experience...It’s such a neat venue, and we need to have a strong film community out there.” The 30-year-old Prescott is effectively building just such a community. The Richmond native spent a decade on the West Coast and got a degree in visual effects at San Francisco’s Academy of Art University. Prescott and his wife, Autumn, decided to return to the East Coast a few years ago to be closer to her family, and they now live in Manassas with their three young children. When Prescott heard about plans to open an Alamo in Ashburn, he immediately contacted franchise owners and was their first official hire, helping to launch the theater when it opened two years ago this spring. Prescott has been a film buff for most of his life, having grown up watching classic westerns and “Dirty Harry” movies with his dad. He came of age in the ’90s, a decade that saw the rise of megablockbusters and the boom of independent cinema inspired by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino. The Ashburn Alamo is an independent franchise, and Prescott has a certain amount of autonomy in programming, although he enjoys weekly brainstorming conference calls with creative directors from across the country. “It’s a nice collective of film nerds that have all come together,” he said. “Everybody has one love, and that’s for cinema.” He gets ideas from his colleagues but also relies on his own extensive film knowledge. “A lot of programming is sort of a playground for me,” he said. “It’s kind of like, ‘What would I like to see on the big screen? What would I have fun with as a quote-along?’ There are some of my all-time favorites that don’t draw much of a crowd, but you’ve got to take a stab and see what sticks.” n For tickets and information on upcoming quote-alongs, dinner parties and other events, go to drafthouse.com/northern_virginia/ one_loudoun.

and the authority’s new course is winning praise. Over the course of the authority’s more than 50 years, public criticism typically surfaced only

when significant rate hikes were needed to support the operation of the region’s most advanced and fastest growing utilities. As county supervisors setting the tax rate know, that type of criticism is unavoidable.

Over the past year or more, however, Loudoun Water has been

under fire for how it approached more routine operations. These include its inability to provide a stable supply of safe water for its customers in the Raspberry Falls and Selma neighborhoods; its battle with south Loudoun residents over the design and location of tanks needed to provide adequate pressure and storage; and its decision to cut off public access to the newly acquired Beaverdam Creek Reservoir.

In recent weeks, the authority has taken welcome steps to

smooth over all three controversies, largely by simply agreeing to consider proposals previously suggested by area residents.

erty would reopen, allowing for a return of boaters and hikers this summer. Although another closure may be required as renovations are made to the water supply system, authority leaders last week confirmed they intend for the property to be open to the public permanently once that work is complete. Just weeks ago, it was unclear whether the public would ever be permitted back on the land because of the authority’s safety and liability concerns.

Although the partnership still is in its infancy, we’re confident

the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority can develop a pro-

gram to provide balanced use of this special nature area while the authority continues its mission to provide adequate and safe water and sewer service to communities in unincorporated areas of Loudoun County.

Leading The Way

Loudoun Water won’t make everyone happy—and shouldn’t

try to—but it is refreshing to see the leadership consider compromises that can better serve their customers and the public at large.

Online POLL

Dear Editor:

s Leesburg goes, so goes Loudoun County. Although a few of the other towns might want to amend that sentence, historically, it’s true. That is one reason why it is vital that the Leesburg Town Council formally establish a diversity commission. A few other reasons why a Leesburg Diversity Commission is a better beginning for this timely effort than a countywide, informal group of volunteers with varying agendas are that it will have: (1) an established focus and efficient structure with a mission statement and goals; (2) stability; and (3) the imprimatur of a governing body. Thus, it is much more likely to be effective. Leesburg also hopes to continue

Dear Editor: As a young Latino, I have never personally been discriminated against. Unfortunately, my parents faced discrimination, and it still exists too much in our nation. Promoting diversity in our communities and workforces is a good idea. But the Leesburg Town Council’s proposal to form a Diversity Commission is a bad idea.

attracting new businesses. With globalization, the employees of many of the most desirable businesses will be diverse. Their executives will necessarily be concerned about how inclusive we are. So it’s time—historically and economically—for Leesburg once again to lead the way. It’s also the right thing to do. Pamela G. Taggart, Waterford

Thank You

Dear Editor: County documents indicate two thirds or more of county tax revenues go to Loudoun County Public Schools. Since 2012, school budget allocation has increased from $767 million to $922 million, or about 11 percent. Annual increases have been 6.7 percent for 2012, 8.6 percent for 2013, 2.5 percent for 2014, and 9.5 percent for 2015. For this same period, wage increases were 3.12 percent for 2012 and 1.28 percent for 2013, with 2014 and of course 2015 not yet published. Salaries for new federal contracts are decreasing, not increasing. COLA increases were 3.6 percent for 2012, 1.7 percent for 2013, and 1.5 percent for 2014. The cumulative rate of inflation since 2012 is 1.8 percent. Just because the school board doesn’t get everything it wants, does not mean schools are underfunded or shortchanged, or that voters and supervisors don’t care about education, etc. The unemotional facts prove otherwise. A recent front page lengthy article bemoaned the fact that housing is too expensive in Loudoun. You don’t make housing affordable by raising property taxes, which also results in pass-along increases in many other areas, except wages. Michael Vermillion, Leesburg

Transparency

Dear Editor: Want to know a surefire way to keep residents from coming back to town council meetings? Adopt Purcellville Council member Doug McCollum’s proposal to reduce e-mails between council members. Rather than hash out some details before the next meeting, citizens would be stuck listening to hours and hours of debate and questions. You would have far less transparency, because there’s a good chance no one would show up. Furthermore, Council member Karen Jimmerson is correct in noting that those interested in transparency should be happy to know that there is a “paper trail” of conversations between Council members. “Transparency” does not mean “we need to know every last detail of what ever member of the council is thinking.” “Transparency” means making the most relevant information open and readily available to the public. It seems to me that the Purcellville Council is far more transparent than a certain potential U.S. Presidential candidate, and that’s something the council should be proud of.

Dear Editor: On behalf of the Friends of Ball’s Bluff, I write to express my gratitude and sincere thanks to all who made donations toward the cost of replacing the stolen DHR historical marker near the Ball’s Bluff battlefield. The fund-raising appeal was a quick and complete success. We needed to raise $1,630 and actually raised about $2,200. The additional funds will go toward the cost of needed repairs to a couple of the other historical markers on the battlefield. Virginia has always appreciated her history. The public response to this appeal clearly demonstrates that today’s Virginians still do. As America’s great naval historian, Samuel Eliot Morison, once wrote, “history is to the community as memory is to the individual.” Thanks so much to all who contributed toward preserving Loudoun County’s historical memory. The 16th season of guided tours at Ball’s Bluff begins Saturday, March 28. Free tours will be offered at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday through November. A trained Ball’s Bluff guide will be present at the battlefield parking lot to give the tours. We invite everyone to come take a tour and learn more about this important piece of local, state, and

larger, instead of government encouraging private solutions to the problems in our communities. The Leesburg Town Council has spent around $40,000 to bring in a Chicago expert to give suggestions for how to create a Diversity Commission. The council proposal calls for creating a politically appointed commission, whose members will be paid $1,200 a year—$8,400 in total—to meet monthly “to help foster diversity and inclusion within the Town of Leesburg government workforce and the community at large.” The proposed ordinance also calls for this body to make “recommendations to the Town Council that provides the Town of Leesburg with the opportunity to enhance and celebrate the town’s diverse community.” This sounds like it may go beyond ensuring a diverse town workforce and that the council wants a group to give views and attitudes about the community at large. If you read the detailed “Task Force on Workforce Diversity: Community Recommendation Report to the Leesburg Town Council” dated September 2014 (available on the town webpage), it implies the town government needs quotas. For example, it notes (p. 3), “39.7% of applicants who identified their gender were women, yet females only make up roughly 30% of the workforce.” Is this really such a significant gap that would warrant the Town Council narrowing our community into segmented groups instead of seeing us all as Americans from diverse backgrounds, races, ethnicities, etc.? There are better solutions. Leesburg Town Councilmember Suzanne Fox has called for a private Diversity Leadership Council, which she wrote could be “composed of leadership from all available minority stakeholder groups. Neither the Town of Leesburg nor any other public entity would play any formal role in creating the DLC,

defining its role or parameters, or choosing its membership. The only formal action that would be required from the Town of Leesburg would be to designate one senior staff member ... and one Town Council member to serve as liaisons to the DLC.” Our Town of Leesburg government should use our tax dollars to shovel snow, collect trash, and keep us safe, not look for diversity problems that need fixing. We should fight this attempt at growing Leesburg town government, and the related taxes and spending that will come along with it. Will Estrada, Leesburg

Dear Editor: Recently while scrolling through my Facebook page, I saw a post regarding Loudoun County’s historic, yet pot-holed dirt roads. The post had a litany of complaints from other readers who want to see all the roads in the county paved over. There are some benefits to keeping those roads unpaved. First and foremost, bicyclists avoid these unpaved roads. People tend to drive a lot slower, which in turn means a lot less road kill of deer and other wildlife. If the county is itching to spend money, why not keep these roads graveled and graded like the roads maintained by the U.S. Forest Service? Tom Dukes, Purcellville

“I think that anything that helps draw attention to volunteering is productive. That’s what motivates people, not the awards per se, but seeing that people want to and enjoy volunteering. If the council can’t handle something so simple along with their other duties then they are a sad group. I have been volunteering for over 20 years and it always makes me happy to see one of my fellow volunteers recognized for their hard work.”

—TLS, on Super visors Seek To Spare Two Houses In Cour ts Expansion

Dear Editor: I read both the March 5 online article titled “Supervisors Deny Dulles South Rezoning” and the comments that were made in response to it. I am writing this letter to correct several misconceptions and inaccuracies. 1. Not all who spoke against the rezoning are Willowsford residents. Some live on farms, in “by right” subdivisions and in single residences near the property in question. Four live in other districts within the county. We came together independently as concerned citizens to urge the county to stay with the existing plan for this and all transition zones. 2. We are not against development. We oppose changing the Transition Zone density that the county Comprehensive Plan calls for. The county budget is tied to this plan, so increasing density adds unplanned for costs to an already strained budget. The proffer from the builder simply did not cover recurring costs the county would incur. If all current areas in the Transition Zone were rezoned to the higher density, up to 3,900 houses could be added, further driving up costs for schools, roads and infrastructure. 3. The article states: “The Loudoun school division owns a middle school site in the area, and Stanley Martin would have acquired that tract in exchange for one that was viewed as a better place to put the building.” This is not true! The developer would have given the county 4 acres to add to the school site while getting 8 acres back to allow building of more houses. LCPS had purchased the site without the added acreage. 4. Two of the comments to this article allude to “palms being greased.” This is offensive and puts a stigma on our Board of Supervisors and on a group of people who felt strongly about an issue and, in the best tradition of our democracy, stood together to voice their opposition, and prevailed. Nancy Ryan, Aldie

Dear Editor: I had never heard of the PHILLIPS school until I read the article about a program that enables students of this school to participate in building and renovating buildings on what seems to be an incredible and large chunk of land the school has. This is astounding to me that I had never heard of this school that has this amazing program. I knew a few kids in high school who would have greatly benefited by going to PHILLIPS, especially instead of Douglass in Leesburg. Getting kids to participate and produce something is not only encouraging but also a boost in self-confidence. We as humans are made to produce and keep producing better and better work. We just have to find what we are good at and like to do and we can put our minds to anything no matter who the person. Society values each persons individualistic output in the world and getting kids to build not only with their minds but also with their hands can have an immense affect on those kids that they never knew they could do. People need to get the word out more about this school and what it can do and provide. I know so many more kids can benefit greatly and have better lives through the programs at PHILLIPS. Mary Jaggers, Ashburn

“The estimated cost of relocating the four historic structures is $1.6 million. The cost of demolishing them would require an expense of $200,000. I’m sure if people really wanted to save historic buildings in Leesburg, the money to relocate the buildings could be found or raised. If the cost of demolishing them would require an expense of $200,000, then we only need to raise additional $1.4 million. Perhaps some undesignated proffered contributions could be used.”
