crowd of dignitaries and well-wishers gathered on the bank of the Potomac River across from Mason Island Monday morning to celebrate the opening of Loudoun County’s newest park. Owned and operated by the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, the 295-acre White’s Ford Regional Park near Lucketts opened Monday with a first phase that includes a launch point for canoeists and kayakers, hiking trails, habitat for great blue herons and bald eagles and an expansive scenic view. The property once belonged to Confederate leader Col. Elijah V. White, whose home still stands on a bluff overlooking the river. The structure has been stabilized for now, but future plans could include some sort of visitor or interpretive center. Fittingly, an honor guard comprised of 8th Virginia and 17th Mississippi re-enactors

espite continued pleas from area residents, Loudoun Water reiterated last week that concerns over safety and liability trump public access to the Beaverdam Reservoir. But the authority’s leadership promised to work with county staff on a plan to re-open the facility and engage the public during the multi-year renovation. The Ashburn-area reservoir is a popular recreation spot, with fishermen, kayakers, hikers and rowing teams often present, but it will be closed for the next several years as Loudoun Water undertakes a $15 million overhaul. Loudoun Water purchased the 600-acre Beaverdam Creek Reservoir and surrounding land along with the Goose Creek Reservoir, Goose Creek Water Treatment Plant and the water transmission pipeline along the W&OD Trail to the Fairfax County line in January as a part of a $30 million deal with the City of Fairfax. Coming before the Board of Supervisors last Wednesday, Loudoun Water General Manager Fred Jennings said when the authority was in the process of purchasing the reservoir and other facilities, it was not focused on the public use aspect, but instead on the extensive work that needed to be done. Among the needs are upgrading the dam to meet new requirements, improving the spillway and reinstalling the channel way. Work also needs to be done to protect the quality of the water. “This is a considerable project for us,” Jennings said, noting the reservoir holds 1.5 billion gallons of water. “We committed to getting that right and having an engineer help us with our strategy. It is crucial to us.” Jennings also made clear that safety concerns associated with public access are paramount, saying that as recently as two weeks ago teenagers were jumping off the control tower used to drain and fill the reservoir. In addition, Jennings pointed out there have been five drownings on the reservoir, as well as extensive underage drinking at “party central” and gang activity. People have put in their own ramps, zip lines and other recreational items on the property, Jennings said. Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office deputies routinely patrol the area resulting in multiple self-reported calls, according to the agency. “When it was purchased, I thought we would be able to keep open the public access,” Jennings said. “However, one of the due diligence items we found is that the City

tone Bridge may be the next Loudoun high school to get an artificial turf field. The Board of Supervisors will vote June 18 on whether to meet the Stone Bridge Athletic Boosters Club part way to cover the $1 million cost to install synthetic grass in its stadium. Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) announced his plans to bring the proposal to supervisors for a vote during last week’s Joint Board of Supervisors/School Board meeting. If approved as is, the county would provide $750,000 if the Stone Bridge school community kicks in $250,000. The announcement comes two years after the Board of Supervisors rejected an $8 million funding request from the School Board to pay for the installation of artificial turf fields at the

“rock solid line” to prove a defendant’s guilt. But in Williams’ case, she said, there are many gaps in that line. Hendrix laid out five areas that she said created gaps in the commonwealth’s case: the lack of scientific evidence, including DNA or fingerprints from Williams in Johnson’s car; the lack of physical evidence; that Williams did not have any contact with Johnson on the day of his death unlike many other people; that eyewitness accounts do not match the commonwealth’s evidence; and the credibility of many of the commonwealth’s witnesses. The victim himself was on probation for a 2009 distribution of marijuana charge when he was killed. “You will be hearing from more than 30 witnesses,” Hendrix told the jury, “many of them are convicted felons, many are on the run, and many are hostile and don’t want to testify at all.” Amato acknowledged that many of the witnesses have criminal records or are facing future prison time for unrelated crimes. She said that one of the witnesses met Williams while incarcerated and would provide testimony about conversations the two men had. “We’re going to ask you to listen to the testimony carefully,” she said. “These are details no one would know unless they were the killer or the detective investigating the crime.” Prosecutors also used Williams’ own alleged words against him, both in opening statements and when calling lead investigator Det. Colette Cunningham. When Cunningham first arrested Williams in February 2013, she testified she told him that “his biggest mistake was committing a murder in Loudoun County… where we have all the time in the world to investigate.” His response, according to Cunningham, was, “we’ll see.” When Cunningham continued that Williams’ second mistake was committing the crime in broad daylight next to a park where children were playing, he allegedly replied, “Don’t be so cocky,” according to Cunningham’s testimony. On cross examination, defense attorney Eric Demetriades hammered Cunningham on his investigation, including whether she prompted responses from witnesses—including Hardwick—preservation of evidence, and whether there was information from witnesses and interviews missing from police reports. Many of the details she was asked about Cunningham said she could not recall “off the top of my head,” noting she worked 160 hours in the eight days after Johnson’s death and interviewed almost 30 people. The trial is scheduled to continue through next week. Check back to www.leesburgtoday. com for continuing coverage. n

six women. Ryan Blaine Williams, 33, is charged with first-degree murder and use of a firearm during commission of a felony for the death of Jovaughn Johnson, 30, who was found dead from a gunshot wound in his vehicle parked on the street in the area of Great Trail Terrace and Trail Run Terrace Dec. 27, 2012. It was the only homicide in Loudoun County during 2012. The case has taken a convoluted path to reach trial. In February 2013, Williams and his former girlfriend Linsey Hardwick were charged with first-degree murder for Johnson’s death. But following a May 2013 preliminary hearing, a General District Court judge dismissed the charges against Williams. Then in August, a grand jury indicted Williams on the first-degree murder charge re-filed by the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. In September, Hardwick’s first-degree murder charge was dropped and she pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and to a narcotics charge from an unrelated incident. She will be sentenced June 27—after she testifies in Williams’ trial. To open the case, Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Alejandra R. Amato told jurors about the details of Johnson’s death and what the witnesses would testify to during the week-long trial. According to prosecutors, Williams killed Johnson for “snitching.” He learned where Johnson would be on Dec. 27, 2012, had Hardwick drive him there that afternoon, got into the front passenger side of Johnson’s Mercedes Benz SUV and shot him. Amato said Johnson died “holding his hands up to his head while the bullets of a 9mm Glock poured into him.” Williams then, according to prosecutors, jumped back in Hardwick’s car and the two drove to Delaware, where they disposed of the gun—which has never been found—and his clothing. Then the couple drove to Colonial Beach, to the home of one of Williams’ friends. Amato said that friend would testify that Williams confessed to killing Johnson. “He killed him in cold blood. He shot him in the head, hand and shoulder,” Amato said, adding that “Jovaughn has been silenced forever, but he will still be heard.” But defense attorney Lindsay Hendrix countered in her opening argument that there was no evidence tying Williams to the crime. “There are many, many, many people who could have possibly done this,” she said, “and out of them, the one that did not is Ryan Williams.” Amato acknowledged to the jury that evidence in the case against Williams is circumstantial, but noted “you don’t need a smoking gun in order to convict Mr. Williams.” Amato said multiple witnesses would relate what Williams told them about the crime and information that Williams’ and Hardwick’s cell phones “pinged” off cell phone towers closest to the crime scene around when Johnson was killed. While there is not direct evidence linking Williams to the crime, Hendrix argued that there is direct evidence “that it is not Ryan Williams,” and said that investigators ignored evidence that “didn’t match their theory of the crime.” Writing “presumed innocent” and “guilty” on a white board in the courtroom, Hendrix said that usually prosecutors are able to draw a

PublicSafety Briefs Domestic Shooting Leaves Man Dead
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a domestic-related shooting that left one person dead Saturday afternoon in Leesburg’s Potomac Station neighborhood. Deputies responded to a home on Shadow Terrace around 2:45 p.m. In the home, two adult relatives were involved in a fight that ended in gunfire. A 21-year-old Leesburg man was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital where he died from his injuries. The incident was contained to the home and everyone involved has been identified. There was no threat to the community.
Two Arrested After Hit And Run
Two men are in jail following an altercation early Friday morning during which witnesses said a victim was intentionally hit by a car in the Cascades Marketplace parking lot. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office report, deputies were called to the shopping center just before 2 a.m. A 41-year-old North Carolina man was reportedly attempting to break up a fight and was assaulted, losing his shoes and other clothing in the process. As he went to retrieve the items, a vehicle circled the parking lot and—according to witness statements—intentionally struck him before driving away. Deputies found the vehicle and arrested the driver and a passenger. The driver, Freddy L. Prem, 24, of Sterling, was charged with malicious wounding, felony hit and run and drunk in public. The passenger, Javier Benitez, 22, of Leesburg, was charged with malicious wounding and failure to render aid. Benitez subsequently also was charged with DUI. Both men were held at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. The victim was treated and released at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
Phone Scammers Target More Loudoun Victims
Despite repeated cautionary public warnings, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office today is reporting two incidents in which phone scammers pulled off frauds against local victims. The first case happened May 31 when a business in Community Plaza in Sterling was called by a person claiming to be a Virginia Power debt collector. The caller stated the business was behind on its payments and instructed the victim to obtain a Green Dot MoneyPak card to pay the bill before the power was shut off. After the victim provided information from a purchased card, a second call was received from a purported debt collector who said the funds could not be processed and requested another card. The victim again followed the instructions, but after speaking with another business owner later learned it was a scam. Then, Thursday, June 5, a resident on Creamer Lane near Hillsboro received a call from a person claiming to be from the IRS Fraud Unit. The caller stated fines were owed and advised the victim to purchase Reloadit cards at an area grocery store. The victim followed the directions and provided the information to the caller. Then the caller demanded money. The victim later realized the call was a scam.

Sterling man has been charged for grabbing several women during the past month, including two assaults in bathrooms at Dulles Town Center. Meredith S. Wyatt, 23, has been charged with five counts of simple assault, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced last week. Wyatt first was identified June 2, after he was connected with an assault that occurred at a South Sterling Boulevard grocery store. In that case, a 27-year-old woman was approached by a man and the two began talking. When the woman walked away, the man touched her inappropriately from behind. The woman verbally confronted the suspect before walking away again. The man then grabbed her from behind again. Wyatt was identified as the perpetrator in that incident and taken into custody on two
counts of simple assault. After his arrest, Loudoun detectives connected Wyatt to two other incidents at the Dulles Town Center. The first was reported May 14 when a 62-year-old woman was inside a women’s bathroom at the mall and a man grabbed her from an adjacent stall. The man then fled the bathroom. A second incident was reported at 11:30 a.m. May 30, when a 16-year-old girl was in a stall inside a women’s bathroom in the mall and a man reached underneath the stall and grabbed her. The man left after the teenager screamed. Wyatt also was charged in connection with a May 25 assault case in which a 57-yearold female was walking in the 200 block of West Holly Avenue around 4 p.m. when she was grabbed from behind. Wyatt was held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. n

midnight, Sunday, June 15. This is the third year for the coordinated, multi-state enforcement effort. Last year, police in the six states stopped and cited 684 speeders, 14 reckless drivers, and 28 impaired drivers. Troopers also issued 260 seat belt violations and 11 child restraint violations. A total of 25 felony and misdemeanor arrests, including four drug
arrests, also were made. In addition, 142 motor carrier inspections conducted in Maryland, New York and Virginia resulted in 147 motor carrier violations and 28 commercial vehicles and drivers being placed out of service. During 2013, 1,032 traffic crashes occurred on Virginia’s 230-mile stretch of U.S. Rt. 15.

In discussion of its strategic plan—and looking ahead to the final year of its term—the Board of Supervisors last week directed county staff members to make allowances for dog parks in planned communities. Since 2011, plans have been in place to expand the zoning districts in which dog parks may be established to include the areas where major suburban homeowners’ associations are located. But as the strategic plan stands, the board will not take action on the changes until next spring, and supervisors were not happy about that. “The only reason we took it out of the plan was because of all the other stuff we were putting on staff, not because we didn’t want it to happen,” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said. “It’s low hanging fruit. It’s non-controversial.” Currently, the only place dog parks are allowed is in areas zoned for transit-related centers—something supervisors have said does not make sense. Without the allowances, communi-

fter several rounds of public review, the Board of Supervisors last week very quietly approved a request to continue and expand operations of the Blue Mount Nursery along Rt. 7 in Ashburn for the next two decades. Much of the debate during committee review—and concerns raised by county planners— centered on whether the use was appropriate on land planned for commercial development. The Blue Mount Nursery was first approved as a special exception use in 1992 on property zoned residential, but which has since been designated for keynote employment development in the county’s Comprehensive Plan. At that time, the nursery was expected to be an “interim” use until the market for commercial development emerged in the corridor. Ultimately, to support the new request, supervisors agreed that given the status of the commercial market, the nursery could remain an “interim” use for the next 20 years. The original special exception approval lapses in October 2017, and the owner is seeking permission to extend the special exception by 20 years, a request supported by the Planning Commission. In addition, the application seeks to expand the existing sales area, add a 5,000-square-foot farm market building, allow up to four special events and the sale of propane and firewood. A similar application for expansion was submitted by Blue Mount in 2005, but subsequently withdrawn.
Among the requirements for Blue Mount are to connect public drinking fountains and sinks to the public central water supply within six months of public utilities being extended to the site and to submit a site plan within 180 days for the commercial nursery. In addition, the nursery will be allowed to open to contracted landscapers at 7 a.m. Monday through Friday, and to the public at 8 a.m. When Riverside Parkway connects from Lexington Drive to Loudoun County Parkway north of the nursery, the commercial nursery will be allowed to open to landscapers at 7 a.m. seven days a week.

ties like South Riding and Lansdowne cannot establish dog parks for their residents, as they would like. Buona requested, and other supervisors agreed, to move the dog park item up on the priority list. County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said he would personally work to ensure it makes it way through the process. Another priority item will be getting its public review beginning this summer. The county has been examining ways to increase the permissions for breweries in western Loudoun’s agricultural districts. The board is expected to formally adopt its intent to amend the Zoning Ordinance at its July 16 meeting, with a Planning Commission public hearing in September. The item is expected to come back to the Board of Supervisors for final action by November.
Historic Preservation Efforts Recognized The Loudoun County Historic District Review Committee has been selected as a recipient of a Commission Excellence Award by the National Alliance of Preservation Commissions. The NAPC Commission Excellence Awards honors achievements of local preservation, historic district, and landmark commissions, and boards of architectural review. The Loudoun County Historic District Review Committee was honored in the category of “Best Practices: Public Outreach” for its involvement in many preservation projects in Loudoun through the Joint Architectural Review Boards Awards Program. By partnering with the Loudoun Preservation Society for the awards ceremony, the county helped solidify the relationship between the local government, private preservation organizations and residents. In 2008, the Loudoun County Historic District Review Committee collaborated with its counterparts in Leesburg, Middleburg and Pur-
cellville to create the Joint Architectural Review Board and an annual awards program, which has expanded to include the Community Blue Ribbon Award, honoring a project nominated by the general public. Loudoun’s award will be presented as part of a ceremony at NAPC’s biennial FORUM conference in Philadelphia July 19. More information about the NAPC is online at http://napc.uga.edu. More information about the Joint Architectural Review Board and its award program is available online at www.loudoun.gov/jarb or by contacting Lauren Murphy of the Loudoun County Planning Department at 703-777-0246.

Supporting Others Dukinfield, Others Recognized For Volunteer Service Efforts Erika Jacobson Moore

oodgrove High School junior Amanda Dukinfield accepted the Gabriella Miller Outstanding Youth Volunteer Award last Wednesday in front of a crowd packed into the Loudoun Board of Supervisors meeting room. It was the first time the award had been given since it was named in honor of the Leesburgarea youth who mounted a national campaign to raise awareness of childhood cancer before succumbing to the disease last year. Gabriella was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor at age 9 and died Oct. 26, 2013. While confronting her diagnosis, she worked to help other children suffering from cancer by enhancing her own letter-writing campaign to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. She raised more than $250,000 for the foundation, which inspired Macy’s to donate an additional $25,000. Her fundraising efforts resulted in 36 additional wishes being granted for children facing serious health issues. In the final months of her life, she also started a cancer advocacy organization called Smashing Walnuts Foundation. Mark and Ellyn Miller, and their son Jake, were on hand to present the inaugural award to Dukinfield. Dukinfield was recognized by Volunteer Loudoun and the Board of Supervisors for her efforts to take and frame photographs of western Loudoun scenes for display in the cabins of Boulder Crest Retreat, which opened last year to serve disabled veterans and their families. In addition, Dukinfield is a junior EMT with the Purcellville Volunteer Rescue Squad, a volunteer with the Loudoun County Medical Reserve Corps, and an Ambassador Girl Scout who helped her troop collect more than 2,000 pounds of food for the Tree of Life food pantry in Purcellville. She even organized her 17th birthday party as a charitable event, and worked to raise global awareness and research money for AIDS. As they do every year, Volunteer Loudoun and the Board of Supervisors came together June 4 to recognize the residents and organizations that have worked to improve Loudoun and the lives of its residents. The Cardone family was recognized as the Outstanding Volunteer of the Year for helping people in their Dulles South community and across Loudoun. Stefani and Joe Cardone, along with their children Michael, 16, Kyle, 14, and Joey, 10, were honored for their commitment to giving back “whether donating a paycheck to feed, clothe and ensure the safety of families in need” or sending a child to camp or creating a program at Hutchinson Farm Elementary where fathers can attend their child’s school for a day. “The impact of the Cardone family’s service can be felt throughout the community,” emcee Tony Howard said. “They coordinate hundreds of food items for a shelter at Thanksgiving, serve food to the homeless, and reach out to struggling families in need with dignity, grace and genuine concern for others.” “If we didn’t have the volunteers it would be very difficult to run a lot of the operations that we have,” County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said, adding that he wanted to thank all volunteers, whether they had been honored that evening or not. “Thank you for
your service.” Also included among this year’s winners are: • Byron F. Andrews III, Outstanding Adult Public Safety Volunteer. Andrews was recognized for his 30 years of service in emergency medical services, including more than 2,800 hours volunteered on the Sterling Rescue Squad last year. He also was credited for recruiting and maintaining more than 180 volunteers for the fire-rescue system. • Kristen Ellery, Outstanding Adult Volunteer. Ellery was honored for donating about 20 hours a week to help the “most marginalized in the community.” Last year, Ellery provided mobilization and/or advocacy services for more than 30 families in Loudoun. • Loudoun Literacy Council, Adult Literacy Program volunteers, Outstanding Adult Volunteer Team. Last year, 46 volunteers offered adult English as a Second Language classes at 14 sites, committing to a minimum of one day a week for eight to 10 weeks, in addition to creating their own lesson plans for a variety of students. • Very Special Arts of Loudoun board members, Outstanding Organization. Pam Schoppert, Carolyn Snyder, Deb Kinser, Nancy Eastman, Lisa Mattia and Rob Long were recognized for their organization’s 25th anniversary of providing a platform for people with special needs to participate in the arts. • Community and Schools Together Crew— Loudoun County Public Schools, Outstanding Volunteer Team. The community-based program for students 18-22 who are still eligible for LCPS services was recognized for their volunteer efforts at the Carver Senior Center. They have been volunteering at the center since 2011. • Ed Peters, Outstanding Older Adult Volunteer.

Virginia and the House’s did not include any mention of expanding coverage. Both chambers rejected the other’s proposal. The assembly has until July 1 to adopt a two-year spending plan or face possible government shut down. But Del. Tag Greason (R-32), one of 12 budget conferees, expects the state will have a budget by the end of this week. Greason is sporting a thick beard after vowing not to shave until the budget is adopted, but he said Tuesday he will wait until a spending plan is signed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) before he grabs the razor. “I am hopeful that this change of power in the Senate will certainly move things along,” he said. When the budget is shored up, the attention will likely turn to the debate over Medicaid

expansion. House Republicans have said for the past year they want the issue to be addressed separately from the budget discussion, and they’ll most likely get their chance. The governor is expected to call a special session in the coming months. To that, Wexton, Loudoun’s lone Democrat in Richmond, said, “I guess we’ll get an opportunity to see whether the Republicans have been sincere in their claims that they want to have a full discussion on it, apart from the budget.” Greason and Del. Randy Minchew (R-10) say they are still open to that debate. The federal government has promised to pay for 100 percent of Medicaid expansion in the first three years and 90 percent every year thereafter, but most House Republicans have said they don’t trust that the federal government will keep up its end of the bargain. Minchew said he is willing to look at options to get the federal dollars promised through the Affordable Care Act, but in general he is against expanding the program in Virginia because, as is, “Medicaid is soaking up about 33 percent of our state budget. “Even without expansion, by 2020 Medicaid that we have is forecasted to grow to 40 percent of our budget…leaving just 60 cents of every dollar to pay for roads, schools, state police, state parks and everything else.” “The idea of getting back for Virginia those dollars that businesses are paying for Obamacare for Virginia is not a bad idea,” Minchew added, “but the devil’s in the details, and a special session to discuss that I’m in favor of.” Del. Tom Rust (R-87) has been touted as the only House Republican to support Medicaid expansion, but he joins the rest of his party in wanting to address the issue apart from the state budget. “We cannot hold up the funding for police and education, etc.,” he said. In preparation for a special session on the matter, Rust is working to drum up support for his own version of expanding health coverage to more Virginians. In an interview Tuesday, he would not go into details about his bill, but he said others, including Sen. Emmett Hanger (R-24) and most likely McAuliffe, are expected to present proposals of their own. “I think everybody is looking forward to debating legislation just on Medicaid,” he said. n

School Board Addresses Discipline Disparity For Special Education Students Danielle Nadler
S
dnadler@leesburgtoday.com
tudents with disabilities are three times more likely to be disciplined than the rest of their peers in Loudoun County Public Schools, a statistic the School Board wants to correct. The board approved the addition of a new paragraph in its student discipline policy Tuesday that asks school administrators to consider unique circumstances or harmful effects of punishment, as well as a special education student’s Individualized Education Plan, when it disciplines students. The small change to the policy is one of 39 recommendations made by the Student Discipline Task Force, a committee of parents, educators, law enforcement officers and medical professionals formed by the School Board in 2012 to scrutinize the schools’ discipline model and make suggestions for reforms. The largest gap in discipline numbers is between the general student population
and students with disabilities, but data shows minority students also receive harsher and more frequent punishments. Black students, compared with the rest of Loudoun’s student population, are disciplined at a rate of 2.5-1 and Hispanic students are disciplined at a rate of 1.5-1, according to Debbie Rose (Algonkian), who sits on the Discipline Hearing Committee, Deputy Superintendent Ned D. Waterhouse, who sits in on most discipline hearings, said the policy change is just a good reminder; teachers and administrators are already asked to consider unique circumstances when considering students’ discipline. “It’s exactly what we do… This is designed to reinforce and remind people of our procedure,” he told the board when the policy change was presented as an information item at the May 26 meeting. He also stressed that the Loudoun school system holds a better student discipline record than its neighboring school systems. Fairfax
County Public Schools has 50 percent more out-of-school suspensions than Loudoun, and Prince William Public Schools disciplines twice the number of students with disabilities and racial minorities than Loudoun. “It is true [that] disproportionality exists relative to our own population, but in comparison to the school divisions around us our trends are down,” Waterhouse said, adding that Loudoun’s out-of-school suspensions have dropped by 25 percent compared with two years ago. Bill Fox (Leesburg), who sits on the Student Discipline Committee, said there might be a misconception that special education or minority students “do more things wrong. But when we looked at the data we saw two students who’ve done the same thing wrong, and one gets a couple of days suspension and another gets a longer suspension… There is an actual issue that we need to address here.” School Board member Tom Reed (At Large), who chairs the board’s Discipline

arent Carrie Crossfield describes it best: “It’s like 34 field trips in one day delivered to school.” Mountain View Elementary School last Wednesday bustled with representatives from just about every career field imaginable for its annual STEM Field Day. Orbital Sciences Corporation, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Dominion Virginia Power, Purcellville Fire Department and 30 other companies and organizations set up stations at the school in Purcellville and invited the students to rotate through to see science, technology, engineering and math in motion. “Whoa, awesome,” was the reaction from one student when she spotted a moonwalking fruit fly during a presentation by scientists from Janelia Farm Research Campus.
One nerve in the fruit flies has been genetically altered to make the flies walk backwards when the air around them reaches body temperature. That had the students rubbing small containers of fruit flies in their hands to warm them up and encourage the flies to pull a Michael Jackson.

Hearing Committee, said while Loudoun “is better off than surrounding jurisdictions, we have a ways to go to improve it,” and he called the policy change the first step in doing that. His committee will look at more student discipline statistics in July “to help us hone in on areas for improvement,” he said. In November, the School Board added four of the recommendations from the Student Discipline Task Force to its legislative program to formally request changes to state law. Two of them request the removal of mandatory expulsions for drug offenses, weapons and pneumatic weapons violations, and would exclude a student’s statements made as a result of questioning by a school division employee from being used as evidence against the student in criminal proceedings unless a parent or legal custodian were present. “We’re moving forward on the task force’s recommendations,” Reed said. “We’re not going to complete them this year but the idea is to make steady progress.” n

Tara spent the next summer, five days a week for eight weeks, in school to play catch-up to the class of 2014. She missed an advanced diploma by one course, personal finance— which she said was partly due to a change in requirements—and missed the cut to get into her dream school, Brigham Young University. But she instead got a hefty scholarship from Utah State University. She wants to study art education and pursue a career teaching art and later work as an art therapist. Now just days from having her diploma in hand, Tara said she has no regrets about graduating early, or even missing the mark to get into BYU. “If I got into BYU, I wouldn’t have gotten this huge scholarship,” she said, and she calls the struggles during her sophomore year a blessing. “Even though it really sucked at the time, I’m really grateful. I think it happened for a reason, and that’s why I’m here now, ready to graduate. It’s how it was meant to be.”
ew high school students know what they want to do with their lives before they go to college. But 18-year-old Devin Clawson has big dreams and is working to make them happen. “My big passion is music,” the Heritage High School senior said, “particularly in the rock and metal genre.” Devin has been writing and performing his own music since he was 12 years old after being turned on to music by his parents who were both rock fans. “I grew up listening to Aerosmith and Guns N’ Roses,” he said, “Aerosmith is my favorite band and it’s all because of the tapes [my parents] put in their car while driving around with their 5-year-old. My dad also took me to all the shows before I could drive.” He focused that love of music, and a work ethic born while helping out at his family’s remodeling company, on starting a metal band called Disengaged in 2010. Clawson is the lead singer of the band, which brings its heavy guitar sounds to the stage at the teen-friendly Empire Nightclub in

Springfield for crowds that reach up to 1,000 people. His musical talents also have been showcased in a different venue for the past two years. When the Heritage High School’s drama teacher was looking for a talented male vocalist, she “kind of forced me into auditioning,” Devin said. “It turned out to be one of the best things I ever did in high school.” Devin played the leads in “West Side Story” and “Les Misérables”. Not only did acting help him get out of his comfort zone, but it also improved his singing abilities by teaching him how to “get up [on stage] and stay up there and be clear the whole time” and to hit higher notes with more confidence, he said. Devin’s success extends beyond the stage. He is a member of the Tri-M Music Honor Society and the National Honor Society and holds a 3.9 GPA. He will attend Christopher Newport University this fall and plans to major in marketing while still keeping his sights set on a future career in music. “A big reason I chose CNU is because right near Norfolk [there is] a huge hardcore rock and metal scene which I can thrive in,” he said. “Music is my end goal, but I just want to have that back-up plan of college.” Clawson has dreams of touring full time with a band, but has not discounted a solo career. He learned to love playing acoustically while his fellow band members were in college. “I’d like to think that I’ll be living on the road and seeing what I can see while I can,” he said. — Zack Wajsgras

In this six-week series Leesburg Today shares graduating seniors’ success stories.
ara Hutchinson hasn’t really felt a part of the class of 2014 until just recently. While most her classmates are 18, or soon to be, she just turned 17 last month. Tara is graduating a year early after skipping her junior year of high school. “I’m starting to feel a part of the graduating class of 2014,” she said this week, ahead of accepting her diploma Monday. The decision to skip a grade started as a way to escape high school as soon as possible. The bubbly teen described her freshman year at Woodgrove as great and fun, “and then it all kind of went down hill.” She got caught in the middle of an argument between friends and, by her sophomore year, found most her friends had severed ties with her. Any attempts to play athletics also were unsuccessful because, she said, coaches favored other students they had coached previously. “After all that I just hated school so much,” she said. So in the middle of her sophomore year she, together with her parents, decided to skip her junior year and graduate early. While the social side of school was tough for Tara, she excelled in the classroom. She took as many honors courses as her schedule allowed and maintained straight As. “So my counselor said, ‘yes, you can do this,’” she said.

It is not ideal and upsets the visitors, but it is necessary for the future of the museum, he said. “We’re going to have to bite the bullet, shut down and fix the problems,” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said, noting he was particularly concerned about teenagers climbing over the spillway. “If someone goes over that, we’re going to have another issue.” Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) and several residents who spoke at the meeting pressed Loudoun Water about whether access could be left open to some of the users at least part of the time. Reid’s suggestion was a few hours on the weekend, with organization members signing liability waivers. But the problem for Loudoun Water is not necessarily whether specific groups would agree to sign waivers, but the logistics of ensuring everyone has signed legal waivers and preventing people—like teenagers or latenight trespassers—who are sneaking onto the property. Loudoun Water has honored Loudoun Rowing’s previous agreement with the City of Fairfax to permit access, but that agreement ends in December and renewal is not certain. “We may be drained halfway down by then. We don’t even know the bank conditions right now,” Jennings said. “We will try to resolve that between now and the end of the year…but they are already looking at alternatives.” Jennings said the club knew the agreement might not be renewed.

How your hearing works: Sound enters your ear canal through the air.
Hearing Problem #1
The eardrum is connected to the first of three tiny bones. These bones are hinged and each causes the one next to it to move.
This movement vibrates against the oval window in your cochlea, sending sound waves through this snail shaped organ.
Inside the cochlea are thousands of microscopic hair cells called stereocilia, and these hair cells sense the motion of sound waves.

Delegation Looks To North Carolina Wine Center As Model For Loudoun Margaret Morton
A
mmorton@leesburgtoday.com
delegation of Loudoun representative traveled to the Shelton-Badgett North Carolina Center for Viticulture and Enology Friday in hopes of establishing a similar program to provide specialized training that will help take Virginia wines to the next level. The Loudoun government representatives included Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge), Purcellville Mayor Bob Lazaro, Purcellville Assistant Town Manager Patrick Childs and Loudoun County Agricultural Development Officer Kellie Boles. Northern Virginia Community College Provost Julie Leidig was accompanied by two members of the community college’s horticultural department, Dave Scheid and Sally Wrenn. State representatives included Stephen Versen, from the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and Susan Wagner, from the Virginia Wine Board’s Marketing Office. During the daylong visit, the group lunched at The Harvest Grill at Shelton Vineyards, visited Shelton Vineyards—in itself a tourism destination—and finished up the day with a tour of the Shelton-Badgett Center and its 6.5-acre vineyard. The Shelton-Badgett center, a state-of-theart viticulture and enology hub constructed on the grounds of the Surrey Community College just south of Virginia’s border, was the focus of the tour, with a view to its being a model for a similar center in Loudoun. There, students study viticulture and enology and make wine, along with designing and producing the labels for the bottles. Students have achieved success in their winemaking. A glass case in the atrium showed an impressive number of award-winning bottles, as the student-produced Surry Cellars wines earned eight medals in their first international competition—the 14th Annual Finger Lakes International Wine Competition in Rochester, NY. Altogether, the Shelton-Badgett Center’s wines have earned 17 medals in five months. The center is a cooperative venture between the Shelton brothers, Charlie and Ed, who developed the vineyard from a former tobacco farm in the late 1990s—planting the first grapes in 2001—and G. Frank Sells, the now retired college president who spearheaded the legislative efforts to win state support for the venture. The center was pitched as a stimulus to rescue the area from the economic stagnation that resulted from the loss of Surry’s tobacco and textile industries. “These guys came in as angels to revitalize their own community,” Leidig said, noting the state kicked in money to build the center, and agreed to waive the rules about what community colleges could do on their campuses. The first viticulture and enology classes started in rudimentary premises in 1999, but it was the push by the Shelton brothers that resulted in development of the purpose-built center. In 2003, the brothers received licensing
through the state of North Carolina for a bonded winery. They also built the topranked Harvest Grill, and a nearby inn, to form a tourism destination complex. Also that year, after a community survey, a steering committee was formed for the center. A combination of bond funding, state appropriations, grants and private donations, totaling $5.6 million, resulted in the center’s opening in 2010, with classes beginning in January 2011.

he Stone Bridge Bulldogs stood on the edge of history as the crowd went to its feet, waiting for that long-anticipated moment. That moment came Friday, June 6, in Ashburn as Stone Bridge (23-1) beat Freedom-South Riding 2-1 to win the 5A North Region championship, the first regional title in SBHS baseball history. Both teams were already assured a berth in next week’s VHSL state tournament, but there was still plenty on the line for both teams. Neither team scored in the first inning. Freedom (13-13) got on the board in the second after William Sullivan sacrificed to
right field, allowing Tyler Parnell to score. The Bulldogs tied the game in the bottom of the fourth with a new pitcher on the mound, as Michael Zubovich was pulled after three innings of play. Nicholas Belinsky gave up a single to the first batter he faced, Dave Mocabee. Eli Quiceno then bunted, allowing Mocabee to advance to second. After a groundout to shortstop for the second out (and after Mocabee advanced to third), Michael Kuzbel dropped a bunt that landed near the right side of the infield in a spot that just barely allowed him to reach first while Mocabee scored to tie the game. Mocabee shone again in the bottom of the fifth, after a number of eyebrow-raising plays before he went to bat. Eric Johnson

Leesburg Today
tone Bridge High School senior right-hander JB Bukauskas was selected in the 20th round of the MLB Amateur Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks June 7. He was the 600th player taken overall in the 40-round draft. But the standout pitcher remains firm on his decision to attend the University of North Carolina rather than joining the pro ranks. Bukauskas, rated among the top 50 draft prospects, informed MLB teams in
early May that he would be attending college by beginning classes at UNC June 19. As a precautionary measure, Bukauskas has been shut down for the rest of the high school playoff season because of inflammation in his left shoulder. He went 7-0 with a 0.00 ERA, 88 strikeouts and six walks in 41.1 innings. He was named the Gatorade State Player of the Year for baseball. Bukauskas is the first player drafted directly out of a Loudoun County high school since Park View’s Joe Foote was taken in the 47th round by Minnesota in 1997. n

walked and Mason Newcombe singled off a bunt attempt of his own before John Callahan was called out on strikes. Kyle Palmer walked with one out, but during his at-bat, interference was called at second—moving Johnson to third—and Newcombe was caught stealing second. Mocabee then singled to left-center on a 1-0 fastball to bring Johnson home and make it 2-1. “At the plate, I was just looking for a fastball, because that’s the best pitch [that] I hit right now, and that’s what I got,” Mocabee said. Lawton Riggs made his first start for the Bulldog varsity team after being called up from junior varsity late in the season. He had four strikeouts in 5.2 innings and gave up four hits while walking just one. Continued on Next Page

Stone Bridge’s Dave Mocabee delivers what would turn out to be a huge hit in his team’s victory over Freedom June 6.

“I was nervous, and, to be honest, very nervous,” he said about his first start being on such as big stage. “My coaches support me and my players support me so that’s all I needed.” “It feels great,” he added. “It’s good to know that there’s more to come. I’m still pretty young and I’m glad for that.” Riggs, a sophomore who still sports a full set of braces, was pulled with two outs in the top of the sixth for classmate Brett Kreyer, who threw six innings in the Bulldogs’ Monday win over North Stafford in the regional quarterfinal. Kreyer walked Jack Lerch before getting Belinsky to fly out to second to end the inning and leave the bases loaded. In the home half of the sixth, Kuzbel nearly scored another base runner, and would have if not for a questionable base running error by Eli Quiceno. Kuzbel flew out to left and Quiceno was expected to come home from third to make it 3-1, but the sophomore catcher left third a second early and was called out at home after a brief discussion between the umpires. “You can’t explain some things that happen during a game with base running,” Stone Bridge
head coach Sam Plank said. “The good thing about this team is that they ignore me a lot when I get upset and keep being tough, and we found a way to win. That’s what great teams do.” Kreyer stayed in for the top of the seventh to finish the game, and did just that. After Sullivan was called out on strikes, Trent Gilmore singled to right and Kyle Wrighte singled to center. Jake Anderson grounded out on a fielder’s choice, advancing Wright and Gilmore to second and third, respectively. Garrett St. Laurent was intentionally walked, creating a force situation and setting the stage for William Roukis. Roukis struck out swinging and Quiceno dropped the ball, but picked it up and stepped on home plate, jumped in the air and the Bulldogs stormed the field, piling on top of their catcher as they celebrated their first regional title. “I try not to think too much. I’ve pitched in a lot of big situations in my life and it’s just another one of those,” Kreyer said. “Our coaches have been waiting for this; we’ve all been waiting for this. I think this was our season, we had a good shot and we [showed] it.” Stone Bridge will play Hickory at Lake Braddock High School in Burke Friday at 7 p.m. in the state semifinals. n

ad Men” fans and lounge lizards: get ready to set your time machines back to 1962 with an evening of sophisticated lounge-style music from DCbased Chaise Lounge. The six-member band, billed as equal parts dry wit and dry martini, was scheduled to take the stage at Leesburg’s Tally Ho Theatre Saturday, June 21, but the show has been rescheduled for Nov. 1. The band plays mostly originals, featuring contemporary lyrics performed in a retro style, with witty lyrics and engaging storylines, along with a sprinkling of carefully chosen standards and a few surprises. The brainchild of bandleader Charlie Barnett, who plays guitar and piano, and lead singer Marilyn Older, Chaise Lounge has been accumulating devotees in the DC area and beyond since its beginnings in the early 2000s. For Barnett, the band’s formation was the answer to a longtime need for the kind of classy, vintage sounds he had long admired from the likes of Henry Mancini and other geniuses of the ’50s and ’60s. “There’s a need in my life to go experience what I call smart entertainment,” Barnett said. “There was a way they used that word in the ’50s where smart didn’t mean brainy—it meant sharp, stylish. We really try to present a really stylish evening.” For the group’s fans, known as Chaise Lounge Nation, a show is a chance to dress up, have a few martinis and swing to the band’s “early stereo” sound. Although cocktail attire is by no means necessary, many fans look forward

to a chance to put on their swanky threads, have a few drinks and experience the retro phenomenon with some of the area’s top jazz musicians. “Everybody who sees the show describes it as cinematic in a ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ kind of way,” Barnett said. “They feel like they’ve stepped back into this 1962 nightclub. They feel transported.” Putting on a visually appealing show (as
well as a musically satisfying one) is key to Barnett and his band mates, who make their own retro style a big part of each performance. “Nobody ever says let’s go hear music— they say let’s go see some music. Make sure you give them something to see,” he said. “Everybody in this band has the best collection of suits of any musician they know.” But while style is important, it’s the sub-

stance of the band’s songwriting and singer Marilyn Older’s lush vocals that keep fans coming back, Barnett said. Many fans start coming to Chaise Lounge shows because of an interest in, or a nostalgia for, the time period, he said, but they return to hear engaging original material like the popular “Devil On My Cell Phone” and audience favorite “The Coolest Car I Ever Saw.” “The way Marilyn delivers a song is also something out of another time period,” Barnett said, comparing his friend and band mate with musical legends like June Christy, Carmen McRae and Astrud Gilberto. Older is also beloved by fans new and old for her warmth and rapport with the audience. “She gets a reaction from the audience like I’ve Continued on Page 28

never seen, and I’ve worked with hundreds of singers,” Barnett said. “There’s nobody who has the effect that she has. They all come out of the theater after a concert and they want to be her best friend.” Older, meanwhile, says that her natural shyness may in fact help her relate to the audience by keeping things real. “Who knew that being a socially anxious introvert would make for such great rapport with the audience?” the singer said. “The best shows start with a real, honest connection. Often that comes through laughter or a shared appreciation for this great experience we get to have together. The band members are all great friends and we are always having fun on stage. We just want to be sure the audience feels welcome to the party.” Older, a classically trained pianist who lives in Alexandria, is a homeschooling parent of children ages 11 and 7. She and her children have structured academic time weekday mornings, and in the afternoons her children pursue their own interests while she gives piano lessons and rehearses for upcoming gigs. Her kids were raised on the Chaise Lounge sound, and for a long time thought lounge was the only kind of music there was. “I did most of my rehearsing in the car so they learned most of our songs by heart and, against their will, became my biggest fans,” she said. “They now have a nice eclectic array of favorite bands but they always say that Mommy is their favorite singer.” The six-piece ensemble is rounded out by a roster of musicians hand-picked by Barnett for their sensibilities and professionalism, including Tommy Barrick on drums, Gary Gregg on clarinet and saxophone, Joe Jackson on trombone and Pete Ostle on bass. The band has been together for more than a dozen years with only one personnel change since its debut, Barnett said. Maintaining a
productive collaboration among six band members can be challenging. Bethesda-based Barnett writes music for film and television and is often on the West Coast. Most of the band’s other members are full-time musicians with a range of other projects, and most of the band members have children and plenty of family commitments. With limited time to practice, getting the most out of each rehearsal is key. “All the guys in the band are professionals,” Barnett said “Almost all of them have led bands. They kind of require what I offer: it’s an organized operation. Rehearsals are organized. Our gigs are organized. The tours are organized, and nobody is wasting anybody’s time.” “Everybody in the band feels valued because the way it’s structured, they all bring incredible strength to every arrangement, to every song we do…Their role is more than just the instrument they play. They bring a certain sensibility to every piece of music. They bring way more than that instrument’s notes to bear on this…There’s a sense of being treasured.” The band’s retro style has led some listeners to compare them to the internationally known, Portland, OR-based orchestral band Pink Martini, but Barnett said that Chaise Lounge’s reliance on original music, rather than standards, sets them apart. When the group covers standards, he said, they are often unexpected, like the band’s popular version of Talking Heads’ “Burning Down The House” or Bobbie Gentry’s spooky 1967 hit “Ode To Billie Joe.” Chaise Lounge has released six albums over the last 13 years, with a seventh, “Mambo Noir,” slated for release this fall on CD and, of course, on vinyl. n

agrant@leesburgtoday.com rtSquare is back in a new location and with a new focus. The artist studio occupied a 2,500 square foot space on Cardinal Park Drive in Leesburg until March when it closed its doors because of financial difficulties and declining class enrollment. All the while organizers assured the studio would return. And it has at the Shops at Dodona Manor on East Market Street. “Closing our doors permanently was never an option. So many of our supporters and students expressed their need for us to find a way forward, we knew we couldn’t let them down. There would have been just too large a void in the art community,” President Lisa Strout said in March.
This time around the art school will focus on building a larger market for kids and teens with summer camps and classes that go beyond the paint brush including crafts, jewelry making and metal work. Kids’ summer camps are scheduled for full and half days from June 16 to Aug. 15. The new space features a kiln room, paint studio and a pottery area and will offer programs and events including adult classes, workshops and a lecture series. “We’re starting out smaller and concentrating more on community outreach and education,” volunteer coordinator Ann Andre said. Organizers have also reached out to area schools to see where the need is for art education and are working to find grants to help fund the programs. To find out more go to www.loudounartsquare.org. n

work better together if only the tables would turn? We’re there now, facing a $1 billion budget shortfall and still no closer to consensus on how to make the most efficient use of the federal Medicaid funds available for the taking. Just as Democrats were willing to play a game of fiscal chicken by pushing their Medicare plan all the way to the deadline for a state government shutdown, Republicans are now set up for a power play of their own—poised to dictate their will on the governor’s office.

LETTERS to the editor Held Hostage
D Dear Editor:
uring a Sept. 25, 2103, debate sponsored by the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, then Mr. McAuliffe declared, “No budget will be shut down in Virginia over the Medicaid expansion.” Mr. McAuliffe also said on the campaign trail that, “These things should never be used as bargaining chips for our budget.” I agree with Mr. McAuliffe, the commonwealth of Virginia’s budget should not be held hostage for a liberal agenda of expanding Obamacare in Virginia. The Virginia Senate Republican leader, Sen. Norment, recently stated, “As a Senate conferee on House Bills 29 and 30, I can personally attest that if Medicaid expansion was removed
from these negotiations they would be settled expeditiously.” Mr. McAuliffe ran as someone who would work across the aisle to get things done. Where has that sentiment been with the current budget negotiations? We are less than 30 days away from a state government shutdown. It is time for Gov. McAuliffe to stand by his promises on the campaign trail and stop holding our state budget hostage. Medicaid expansion needs to be de-coupled from the commonwealth’s budget. Ryan Gleason, Lovettsville

verse reaction from the coal industry, the agency should have issued parallel regulations on emissions from meat industry operations. Each state could than determine its own optimal strategy for curbing greenhouse gases. A 2006 U.N. report estimated that meat production accounts for 18 percent of man-made greenhouse gases. A 2009 article in the respected World Watch magazine suggested that the contribution may be closer to 50 percent. The meat industry generates carbon dioxide by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to confine, feed, transport and slaughter animals. The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are discharged from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively. In the meantime, each of us can reduce the devastating effects of climate change every time we eat. Our local supermarket offers a rich variety of plant-based lunch meats, hotdogs, veggie burgers and dairy product alternatives, as well as ample selection of vegetables, fruits, grains and nuts. Product lists, easy recipes and transition tips are readily available online. Alex Sankari, Leesburg
income kids who rely on school meal programs, this means poor nutrition and even empty stomachs. According to the USDA, only one in seven children who participated in the National School Lunch Program in 2012 also participated in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). This means that six out of seven kids who are at a high risk of going hungry missed out on free healthy meals. We need to do better for our kids here in Virginia. SFSP was created to make sure that lowincome children continue to receive free meals meeting federal nutrition guidelines over the summer recess. Often these breakfasts, lunches and snacks are paired with recreational and learning activities—an excellent opportunity to keep kids physically and mentally healthy. Schools, camps, churches and even community organizations are all able to operate the SFSP. Some sites even offer meals to all children regardless of family income—reducing the stigma of participation and making sure all kids are eating healthier. Despite the importance of the SFSP, many families are unaware it exists. That’s why we need to get the word out here in Leesburg. We need to make sure that every child in Virginia is getting fed this summer. Nick Arent, Virginia Fair Share Education Fund

But Buona said his hope is that the Board of Supervisors’ funding partnership with Stone Bridge—where the school community helps cover a portion of the cost—will be a model for the five high schools that are still without the synthetic grass. “I suspect it will pass the board because everyone I’ve talked to so far likes that model,” Buona said. “That model doesn’t work demographically everywhere, but it can in some schools like Stone Bridge.” Craig Ridley, president of the Stone Bridge boosters club, called the announcement “fantastic news,” but quickly added, “We’re cautiously optimistic because we’ve been at this for three years now.” Ridley described fundraising efforts by Stone Bridge parents, students and athletic staff, with the goal of paying for artificial turf, as systematic. They sell personalized bricks to grace the stadium’s Bulldog Walk, hold annual mulch sales, peddle concessions at games, sell discount cards, and even raffled off a 2013 Volkswagen GTI. The club’s almost constant fundraising brings in about $160,000 a year. Ironically, when the weather or regular wear and tear of the grass field requires Stone Bridge teams to move home games to schools that have artificial turf it means the booster club can’t sell concessions. “We had to move more than a handful of games this year, and that’s a direct impact to our fundraising,” Ridley said. Under the plan, some of Stone Bridge’s portion of the turf cost will be financed through a line of credit. Ridley said when the booster club’s bank account previously reached to the hundreds of thousands, it didn’t look hopeful that any private group or the county Board of Supervisors would help them make up the dif-
ference to pay for an artificial turf field so they paid for other improvements to the Ashburn school’s athletic facilities, including the installation of a $40,000 video message score board. Shortly after the School Board’s plan to have the county pay the full cost of eight turf fields was rejected, board members discussed ways to encourage athletic booster clubs to help pay for the fields with the school system providing part of the funding, but it never got legs. School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) and member Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run), vocal proponents of the public-private partnership model, referred to their efforts to get something like this off the ground. “I think it’s fantastic that we may be moving in that direction,” Hornberger said. “I’m glad the Board of Supervisors is coming around to our idea, and I fully support it,” Kuesters said. For Stone Bridge girls soccer coach Joany Windows, artificial turf will mean a level playing field for her players and their opponents. The team didn’t get one outdoor practice before their first game of the season. “Not having turf really has put us at a disadvantage,” she said. Stone Bridge opened in 2000, 10 years before Loudon County made artificial turf standard for all new high schools. Tuscarora and Woodgrove were the first Loudoun schools to receive the synthetic grass when they opened in 2010, followed by John Champe in 2012 and Rock Ridge, which opens in September. The county’s oldest high schools are next in line to get turf as their aging athletic facilities undergo renovations, three of which are paid for through the School Board’s and Board of Supervisors’ Capital Improvement Program: Loudoun Valley’s stadium upgrade is almost completed; construction at Loudoun County will begin this summer; and Broad Run will get turf by 2016. Then it’s Park View High School’s turn for turf. The Washington Redskins and the National Football League announced last month donations to pay $200,000 of the cost, with county funds covering the remaining $800,000. n
