Cycling In Loudoun: A Case Of Mutual Frustration Sports

County Leaders Say Improvements Are On The Way

Leesburg Today/Danielle Nadler

Tom Bendien rides through Leesburg on Sunday. Law enforcement and county leaders are working to improve the relationship between bicyclists and motorists.

t’s no secret. Loudoun County is home to some of the most beautiful—not to mention windiest, steepest and most shaded—roads in the Mid-Atlantic. They’ve become a magnet for a growing number of bicyclists who are drawn to the rolling hills and serene vistas that earn the locality the nickname Virginia’s emerald county. But amid the region’s charm is a simmering tension between bicyclists and motorists. While the number of bicycles and cars on local streets continues to tick up, the number of bicycle lanes and shareduse paths has not kept pace. But county leaders say steps are being taken to make more room for bicycles and cars to share Loudoun’s roadways.

“There are a lot more people on the roads here,” said Lt. Rudy Landon of the Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office’s traffic safety section. “Most interactions between bicyclists and vehicles are just fine, but when people don’t follow the rules, it creates a problem.” Virginia law treats bicycles as vehicles. They’re allowed to be on the road and must adhere to all traffic laws, including stopping at stop signs and red lights. Drivers, on the other hand, must slow down and give bicyclists at least 3 feet of space when they pass. Nicole Davison, owner of Veloville USA bicycle and coffee shop in Purcellville, considers herself a safe-riding evangelist. She follows the rules of the road, lays them out for her customers and encourages bicyclists she knows to go beyond what the law requires by wearing brightly colored clothing and avoiding

More than 1,500 solar panels sit atop a roof at Prologis in Sterling after it partnered with Dominion Virginia Power to create a system that would pump electricity back into the grid.

Mike Stancik

The Prologis project is the first to be completed in Northern Virginia and the sixth overall for Dominion for this initiative. “Prologis is dedicated to leading the industry in sustainable development, renewable energy and energy-efficiency,” Drew Torbin, vice president of renewable energy for Prologis, said. “This project with Dominion Virginia Power supports our efforts to improve Continued on Page 53

‘It’s Like A Death In The Family’

Middleburg Fire Department Converts To All Career Staff iddleburg Volunteer Fire Department President Charles Wallace announced Tuesday that the company has converted to a response staff comprised entirely of career personnel, completing a restructuring that has been in the works for several weeks. The station now is owned and operated by the Loudoun County Department of FireRescue, but, for now, will remain known as the Middleburg Volunteer Fire Company. The action follows years of dwindling volunteer support to staff the company’s fire fighting and EMT units. “We are very sad to have to make this transition, but I believe that this is a sign of our times,” Wallace said. The department has struggled over the past two years to recruit and retain volunteers, he said, adding that the busy lives of area residents mean they are no longer able to commit to the “many hours that are necessary to be a volunteer.” After an unsuccessful recruitment outreach, Wallace said the department is not able to meet the county and state requirements to continue as a volunteer company. The transition has been seamless, Wallace said. Both he and Mayor Betsy Davis, a former rescue volunteer and company board member, have reiterated over the past few months that the community will see no difference in the

service and response they receive. The transition marks the end of an era of almost 80 years of operation as a volunteer fire department. The operation typically was supported by a crew of 35 to 60 volunteers. Wallace, who has served as a volunteer for the past 18 years, mourned the passing of the volunteer fire department, noting it played a significant role in a small town. “Working as a volunteer for the community, we knew a lot about many of the residents and could respond to a call with some knowledge as to what conditions might be when we arrived,” he said. The volunteer had to be ready whenever the call came in, even when, as in one case he recalled, he was in the Middleburg Safeway shopping when a call came in. He quickly paid for his groceries, ran out of the store and hailed the ambulance as it was racing through town, Wallace said. Those comments were echoed by past President and Fire Chief Edwards “Snooks” Swain, who had more than 60 years of volunteer service with the department. “I think it was comforting for residents to see people they knew,” he stated, expressing his disappointment to have to give up the volunteer status. For Davis, too, it was a disappointing, although perhaps an inevitable decision. She served as a volunteer medic for 20 years, “pretty much 24/7,” and called the dedication of the town’s fire and rescue volunteers “amazing.” Today, Davis said county Fire-Rescue Chief Keith Brower Jr. and his staff have been extremely kind. “They have made it as painless

as possible for the former volunteers. And out of respect, they will for now leave the name.” She noted the county and the town have had a mutual agreement to do whatever is necessary to make the transition a smooth one. Perhaps in the fall, Davis said, “We will celebrate both the past and the present, and honor the volunteers.” She also expressed her gratitude to the county for having kept the department going with the support of career staff members as volunteers decreased during the past few years. Davis said Tuesday she understands the time and energy it takes to be a volunteer and the need now to have more paid staff operating the stations. “The volunteer world is not there like it used to be—our lives are so different,” she said. Brower said this morning, “We’ve been trying to let nature go at its own pace.” The arrangement is new for both town and county. “It’s a classic case of what we’ve lost countywide,” he said, noting the county’s growth and transition from a rural community. He sympathized over the loss of volunteer membership for a volunteer department with a long history. “It’s like a death in the family,” he said. “He understands that this is emotional for us,” Wallace said. Beyond the sadness, however, Wallace said he is thankful the department has a good county staff. “We’re in good hands,” he said of the county’s professional staff now responding to calls from the station. n

ominion Virginia Power and Prologis, a global logistics company with facilities in Sterling, have teamed up to create the largest rooftop solar panel project in the state. The companies hosted an open house

July 9 to display the 100,000-square-foot system, which includes more than 3,000 solar panels generating 750 kilowatts of electricity— enough to power up to 185 homes. All of the power generated at the site flows to the electric grid for use by Dominion customers. The $2.5 million project is part of the Solar Partnership Program, in which the power company partners with businesses to construct rooftop or ground-level solar panel systems.

According to the indictment, beginning in 2006 Pearson was designated as the deputy responsible for overseeing the asset-forfeiture program for the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office. Between 2010 and 2013, Pearson allegedly stole more than $200,000 from the fund and concealed his embezzlement scheme by making false statements to his coworkers and others about the timing and fact of whether he had deposited seized money into a sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office escrow account maintained at a local bank, according to the indictment. Sheriff Mike Chapman said in 2008, before he was elected sheriff, the process for the department to seize assets was revamped and,

he 22-year-old Maryland man who pleaded guilty to leading a terrifying 2013 home-invasion robbery at a Waterford home will spend 25 years in prison. Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Burke F. McCahill handed down the sentence against John Allen Dey following a July 9 hearing. Dey pleaded guilty last October to breaking and entering while armed, two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and five counts of abduction with intent to extort money. T he robbery happened April 16, 2013. Dey knocked on the front door of the residence and handed a package to the homeowner. Dey pushed the homeowner into the house and was followed inside by co-defendants Mark Anthony John Allen Dey Hoy Jr., 21, Roman Sebastian Monzon, 21, and Randy Maurice Alford III, 20. They blindfolded the homeowner and tied his hands and feet. The homeowner’s wife, adult daughter and his two grandchildren were also bound with zip ties and duct tape. The men displayed a gun and a machete as they searched the house and threatened to harm the family 7.17.15_Avie_LB if they did not (Body provide money and Contouring).pdf valuables. After the thieves were done, the vic-

tims were moved to the basement and the door barricaded. After the suspects left, one of the victims was able to free herself, exit through another basement door, and get help from a neighbor a half mile away. A month later, law enforcement officers received a tip that a Maryland house was targeted for an upcoming robbery. The tip stated that Dey and others were going to perform a home-invasion-style robbery. Dey was subsequently located and arrested in Maryland. Items taken from the Taylorstown-area home were found in the back of Dey’s vehicle. Also in the vehicle was a list of home addresses and home values and phone numbers, including those of the Taylorstown home. In addition to the 25-year active sentence, McCahill imposed 103 years of suspended time and ordered Dey to pay $17,140 in restitution to the victims. The three co-defendants also pleaded guilty to the same charges and have been sentenced to prison terms. Alford was sentenced to 128 years with all but 26 years suspended. Hoy was sentenced to 128 years in prison with all but 23 years suspended. Monzon was sentenced to 128 years in prison with all but 13 years suspended.

ARSON THREAT LANDS STERLING MAN IN JAIL

A Sterling man is behind bars after allegedly threatening to burn a house down. Loudoun County deputies were called to a Huntington Square home in Sterling just after 1 a.m. Sunday to investigate a disorderly conduct report. They found two men involved in an altercation outside the home. As the men fled inside the home, deputies learned from witnesses that the two had been fighting and one had threatened to burn down the house. 1 The deputies smelled gasoline and the house 7/14/15 5:01 PM was evacuated.

CONCEALED MARIJUANA SEIZED AT DULLES

Security inspectors at Dulles Airport last week discovered 5 ounces of marijuana hidden in items belonging to traveler bound for Saudi Arabia. During routine baggage screening July 6, Transportation Security Administration inspectors detected an anomaly in a can of hairspray within the man’s checked baggage and notified U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers. The customs agents inspected the aerosol canister and found it had a twist-off bottom that concealed five small bags of marijuana. They then found the bag’s owner, a 25-year-old Saudi Arabia man, at the departure gate and gathered his eight other pieces of checked baggage for inspection. Inside were multiple false-bottomed aerosol canisters, cookie tins, cookie boxes and other items wrapped in plastic that contained small bags of marijuana. The combined marijuana weight was 145 grams, or a little more than 5 ounces, and a street value of about $750. CBP officers also discovered an assortment of glass pipes and wrapping papers. Authorities seized the marijuana and released the traveler without charges.

CASTILLO MURDER TRAIL DELAYED UNTIL SPRING

The trial of Braulio Castillo, the Ashburn man accused of killing his estranged wife in March 2014, again has been delayed—this time until next spring. Castillo first had been set for a 10-day trial last September. Later, that was changed to a

13-day trial scheduled for July 6-22, 2015, and then to a 14-day trial set to start Tuesday. The latest change, made during a motion hearing last week at the request of defense attorneys, calls for an 18-day trial beginning May 17, 2016. He is charged with first-degree murder, breaking and entering with the intent to commit murder and violation of a protection order in the death of Michelle G. Castillo. His 43-year-old estranged wife was found dead in her home on Belmont Station Drive in Ashburn shortly after 9 a.m. Thursday, March 20, 2014. Deputies were first called to her home on a request to check on her welfare, but upon arrival found her body hanging in a downstairs bathroom. Prosecutors said she was killed in her bedroom and then her body was moved downstairs and staged to look like a suicide. Castillo has been free since posting a $2 million secured bond last August. As a condition of his release, Castillo was required to wear a GPS monitoring system and was subject to a 10:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. daily curfew.

SIX INJURED IN BRADDOCK ROAD CRASH

The car crash in Chantilly that closed part of Braddock Road for more than an hour July 8 left six people injured and resulted in charges for one driver, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. Just after 7 a.m. last Wednesday, the driver of a 2001 Chevrolet Express van was westbound on Braddock Road approaching Riding Center Drive when the driver of a 2013 Toyota Camry attempted to make a left hand turn onto eastbound Braddock Road. The van’s driver was unable to avoid a collision, the sheriff’s office incident report stated. The driver of the Camry was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he was treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening. He was charged with failure to yield the right of way. The driver of the van and four passengers also were treated for injuries at area hospitals. n

rates because growth is slowing in the county, but several council members said they doubted Leesburg’s growth would stop. “This makes no sense to me. I need to see more details behind the numbers,” Councilman Dave Butler said. “If someone comes in and builds 600 units, that’s six million bucks that will not be spent on schools within Leesburg.” “As a legislator, I don’t want to encourage residential growth by lowering the capital intensity factors,” Councilwoman Katie Sheldon Hammler said. Currently, the only school-related capital improvements projects planned in town are to move Douglass School to the C.S. Monroe Technology Center campus and to renovate the JROTC building at Loudoun County High School. Some members suggested that the town keep its current rates to prepare for additional projects that could be needed. Butler said projects in the municipality’s Crescent District redevelopment zone or development in other areas of town could result in the need for facilities that aren’t on the books now. “To say we won’t have more schools in Leesburg is not necessarily true,” Butler said.

“As a legislator, I don’t want to encourage residential growth by lowering the capital intensity factors.”

Harper said Loudoun isn’t the nation’s “fastestgrowing county anymore,” and that the commission recommended adoption of the new rates. Vice Mayor Kelly Burk said the town should approve the same rates as the county because the need isn’t there to build schools and the higher fees would discourage developers. “If I’m a developer and look at the county numbers, and the town says we want you to pay $10,000 more, I would question that,” Burk said. Mayor Kristen Umstattd suggested the rates stay the same so Leesburg could improve and repair schools in town. The council requested more information about the figures from the county, but Leesburg Town Attorney Barbara Notar agreed with Burk that the council should adopt the rates. “I’m concerned that we should take more than what the county says,” Notar said. “A developer could challenge that in my opinion.” One change with which council members agreed was to eliminate the expectation that age-restricted residences—planned for occupants 55 and older—pay school-related proffers. The council also discussed adjusting its non-school proffer figures. Money generated from non-school proffers is used to build trails, roads and other capital projects. The council debated whether to spend up to $80,000 for a consultant to develop new town proffer rates, but members agreed to first get more detail on the county’s methodology, likely at its July 28 meeting. n

he Loudoun County Board of Supervisors in December reduced the amount developers are expected to pay to offset the cost of increased development that results from rezoning approvals, but the Leesburg Town Council may not follow suit. The council debated the issue during its Monday night work session, agreeing only that it would not vote to adopt the changes during its Tuesday meeting. As part of rezoning approvals, state law allows localities to accept proffers—most often cash, land donations or road construction—to offset the impacts of increased development. Over the years the county government has developed a model that evaluates costs associated with different types of development. For example, an apartment typically houses fewer school-age children than a single-family home and the county’s policy applies a lower proffer guideline to those units. Loudoun regularly updates its cost figures based on the projected need for—and cost of—schools, parks and other government facilities. The most recent round of revisions for its school-related proffer guidelines resulted in a decrease in per-unit costs. Changes the county adopted include reductions for a single-family home from $29,750 to $19,070, a townhouse from $15,619 to $11,974 and apartment homes from $7,809 to $5,100. Some council members questioned the resulting effects of those changes. Leesburg Director of Planning and Zoning Susan Berry Hill said the board adopted lower

o urge local leaders to alleviate traffic congestion on Rt. 15 north of Leesburg, town resident Jennifer Morabito has created an online petition. “I’ve lived in Leesburg for a year. In that short time, I’ve seen the traffic go from bad to worse to unbearable at times,” Morabito said. The Leesburg Town Council addressed the topic at a June 22 meeting and is working to identify short-term improvements that could be made at the intersection of Battlefield Parkway and Rt. 15, but members said the real issue is on the two-lane highway north of the town’s limits. Morabito’s petition was created with the goal of informing politicians that residents want changes—and soon. “The goal of the petition is not to establish a specific solution,” Morabito said. “We’re demonstrating there is community support for finding that solution instead of just talking about how difficult it would be to make changes.” Morabito created the petition June 26, and there were 671 signatures as of mid-day Tuesday. “We haven’t done anything to spread it; it’s taken off by itself,” Morabito said. “I think that represents how frustrated people are right now. We want to use it to propel a little more action on behalf of the elected officials.” Many signers offered suggestions on how to fix the congestion.

Balch Library Exhibits Liberian Artifacts

A display of Liberian artifacts is being showcased at Balch Library through the end of July. The American Colonization Society was created in 1816 to help freed slaves return to Africa and start a settlement in Liberia. Virginia sent more freed slaves to Liberia than any other state, according to Charles Town, WV, resident Greg Paxton. Leesburg Today/Mike Stancik Paxton lived in Liberia for more than 15 A display of items at Balch Library showcases the American Colonization years when his father Society, which sent free slaves to live in and colonize Liberia. worked for Voice of America. He collected numerous items such as handcrafted wooden art from a Liberian thorn tree, currency that slaves used, documents related to the American Colonization Society and slave shackles. In Liberia, he lived next to one of the houses that the society built. “We want to educate people as to what the American Colonization Society was and its purpose,” Patti Paxton, his wife, said. “We’ve all learned in the past few weeks that our history books are not complete. What we teach in school is only a little bit of what happened in our nation’s history, and the colonization society gets lost in the mix.” The society included members Henry Clay, Francis Scott Key, Daniel Webster and President James Monroe, who was the first president of the group. For free slaves who wanted to move to Liberia, the organization provided transportation from Baltimore and a year of housing. Greg Paxton said the purpose of the society was to educate slaves, specifically related to religion,

The company that’s been hired to build Leesburg’s new skate park wants to know what skateboarders, skaters and BMX riders envision for the new facility. While the Leesburg Town Council hasn’t yet chosen a final location for the park, skate park designer and builder Spohn Ranch held a public input session last week to get a feel for what people want in the new park. The company is also soliciting feedback on a Facebook page, facebook.com/groups/ leesburgskatepark. Leesburg Parks and Recreation Director Rich Williams said about 25 people, old and young, came to the July 7 meeting to share their opinions on the skate park’s design. Leesburg Today/File Photo Spohn Ranch is Spohn Ranch, hired to build the new Leesburg skate park, is seeking input known for listening to through Facebook as to what features the new park should include. community input as it designs skate parks around the country. “They want to make sure the skate park fits the interests of the local skate community,” Williams said. “They’re trying to figure out what the Leesburg skate community is looking for, both in style and specific elements.” Attendees looked at photos of different features and placed stickers on the ones they liked. They also answered a questionnaire with a range of questions about potential park features. Williams said there probably would be another meeting to present a conceptual design of the new park, but the project won’t be able to move forward until the council decides on a location. Council is weighing whether to renovate the park at its current location on Catoctin Circle, or build it near the Douglass Community Center on East Market Street or at Ida Lee Park. “Right now, we’re working in the community input stage until council gives us direction on where to put it,” he said.

Town Tidbits ·

Ida Lee Recreation Center held its 25th anniversary celebration Tuesday. “When the recreation center opened in 1990, Leesburg was a town of slightly more than 16,000,” Rich Williams, Leesburg’s director of parks and recreation, stated. “Since then, Leesburg has nearly tripled in size and we’ve doubled the size of the recreation center, added an indoor tennis facility, the AV Symington Aquatic Center, and significantly expanded our comprehensive range of recreation and fitness programs.” Williams also stated the center is a big part of why Leesburg is a two-time National Gold Medal Award Winner from the American Academy for Parks and Recreation Administration. The Basics Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Leesburg is offering a free self-defense seminar for women Saturday, July 18, from 2 to 4 p.m. The class is specially designed for first-time students who would like to learn awareness principles and self-defense techniques. The seminar is open to those ages 13 and up, but girls younger than 18 must be accompanied by an adult. Comfortable workout attire is suggested. To RSVP, call Marco Moreno at 571-278-4122, or email marco@thebasicgjj.com. The Basics Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is located in the Bellewood Shopping Center at 525A E. Market St. For more information, go to thebasicsgjj.com. The Leesburg Town Council was scheduled to vote Tuesday night on the county’s appeal for demolishing four buildings on Edwards Ferry Road to make room for a courts expansion. The Board of Architectural Review rejected the county’s application to demolish all four buildings in May, instead saying the county could demolish just the non-historic parts of those buildings. n

Amy the RN did my veins and she was so expert that I consulted her about other procedures. She has injected Botox, and other products. The result is always fabulous – no one has ever asked if I have had anything done – just remark how great my skin looks. Amy is an artist with a needle! She has also advised me on skin care products at my request. People usually guess my age at 10 years younger. My skin looks healthy. Amy never tries to sell products, she just listens and provides options. Ren H -– yelp review

oudoun County’s Board of Supervisors was to vote Wednesday on a resolution that would oppose Dominion Virginia Power’s proposed route for a new transmission line in the Dulles area and suggest alternate paths. The 230 kV power line would be put up mainly to serve a data center near Rt. 50, but it also would address an expected increase in electrical demand from homes nearby. It generally would connect to an existing line east of Racefield Lane and Rt. 50 and span the Rt. 50 corridor southeast to a new substation east of the intersection of that highway and Poland Road, according to the electricity provider’s plans. More specifically, though, Dominion wants to place the infrastructure mainly on the south side of Rt. 50, and that has frustrated residents and business leaders, who say a 4-mile power line with galvanized steel poles more than 100 feet tall would be an ugly sight and an unneeded intrusion in a corridor that’s supposed to be one of Loudoun’s gateways. Supervisors Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) and Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) teamed to author a resolution of opposition and to plot route alternatives. Those paths would “better correspond with existing and planned land uses, require the same or less right of way and cross properties that would be less impacted by the lines and associated easements,” according to the resolution prepared for Wednesday’s board meeting. The supervisors’ proposed routes also were drawn to protect StoneSprings Hospital

Center, which is under construction in the area. Hospital representatives have said that Dominion’s preferred route and two alternatives from the power company would interfere with emergency helicopters there. The county-prepared alternative alignments are as follows: • Alternative 1 would go from Poland Road north across Rt. 50; then turn west to cross Loudoun County Parkway and then north to an existing 230 kV transmission line at the North Fork of Broad Run. It would terminate at a point at or near the planned Yardley Ridge substation site. • Alternative 2 would go from Poland Road north across Rt. 50; then turn west, crossing Loudoun County Parkway; then north following the parkway, and finally west onto Dulles West Boulevard to tie into a 500 kV transmission line. • Alternative 3 would go from Poland Road north across Rt. 50; then turn east along Rt. 50, as far north of the road as reasonable, to the west side of the Cub Run stream valley; then south, crossing Rt. 50 again, this time in Fairfax County; and then east to an existing 230 kV transmission line. It would terminate at any one of three substation sites: Sully, Walney or Discovery. The draft resolution also asks the State Corporation Commission to direct Dominion Virginia Power to submit an evaluation of the county alternatives and for Dominion to work with the county and affected property owners to ensure that all routing alternatives accurately reflect “proposed and existing development, planned infrastructure improvements, transportation networks and community develop-

WATERSIDE REZONING SENT FOR MORE REVIEW

proposed development that would be built around a lake at the site of the present Loudoun Quarries will get more scrutiny this week from a county Board of Supervisors committee. Supervisors voted 8-1 on July 8 to forward a rezoning application for the Waterside development to the board’s Transportation and Land Use Committee, which will take up the matter Friday. The 335-acre project east of Rt. 28 on the north and south sides of Old Ox Road includes nearly 2,600 multifamily residential units, 395 of which would be for those 55 and older. Retail businesses, offices, two hotels, a school site, a school/library parcel, and a tract for a fireand-rescue station also are in the plans for Waterside. And, of course, the development’s centerpiece would be the 54-acre lake. Although the proposal still needs OKs from the committee and the full board to move forward, supervisors seemed generally pleased with it July 8. Even the sole dissenter, Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling), said after the board meeting that night that the plans seem attractive; he just was worried about whether the county could effectively provide government services to a community with such a dense collection of homes. Supervisor Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run), who represents the area where the project would be, repeated a comment he’s made before that a previous incarnation of the Waterside plans seemed “dead on arrival.” But he noted that the developer removed a plan for townhouses in the project at his request and worked to gain the endorsement of nearby landowners. “This is exactly what we asked Waterside to do: work with your neighbors,” Williams said after representatives of four of those groups testified in favor of the development at a public hearing July 8. Waterside also is seen as a potential positive because it would be the first big investment in a special tax district created to help pay for construction of Metrorail’s extension to Loudoun and for the ongoing costs of providing the transit service. The tax districts were formed in the areas surrounding Loudoun’s planned Metro stations. Owners of land in them pay an additional levy on top of the general tax assessed on all real estate in the county. In addition, supervisors have said that if they’re going to allow dense concentrations of new homes, the place for them is near the county’s Metro stations. And, to wit, Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said he’s “very open” to the notion of eventually approving Waterside. Letourneau is known for scrutinizing residential projects. But, he said, “This has really come a long way.” Board Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) expressed a similar sentiment. He said that, after touring the quarry site, his thoughts were: “You want to build what here? Are you kidding me?”

ment standards.” Asked for comment on the supervisors’ meeting agenda item, Dominion spokesman Chuck Penn noted that the SCC has the final word on the line’s route. “We most certainly respect the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors and their position with regards to their resolution on Poland Road,” Penn said in an email. “The process, now underway with regards to this project, provides multiple opportunities for public officials and all concerned citizens to weigh in with the Virginia State Corporation Commission.” Wednesday’s vote was to follow a reso-

But he said now he could give Waterside a favorable nod after the application is fine-tuned in committee. “Let’s just make sure it’s dead perfect before we take a final vote,” Buona said.

BOARD APPROVES VOTING PRECINCT CHANGES Loudoun’s Board of Supervisors last week

approved election-precinct changes that the county’s voter registrar believes will better serve residents. The board on July 8 voted 8-0-1, with Supervisor Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) absent, in favor of Registrar Judy Brown’s plan, which is slated to go into effect fowr this year’s general election Nov. 3. It would open eight new precincts. The Dulles and Broad Run election districts each would get three new precincts under the plan, and one each would be assigned to the Blue Ridge and Catoctin districts. There also will be three changes to voting locations: • Some voters who cast ballots at Belmont Ridge Middle School would instead go to the new Riverside High School on Election Day; • Loudoun residents who have been voting at Mill Run Elementary School would go to Moorefield Station Elementary School; and • those who have been voting at Moorefield Station now would vote at Discovery Elementary School. Brown also told supervisors in May about another change that was already made. Loudouners who were used to casting ballots at the old Neersville fire station will continue to vote at that address. But the building is no longer home to a fire department. It’s now the Between the Hills Community Center.

COUNTY NOTES:

• Loudoun County has again been recognized as one of the top 10 most technologically advanced county governments in the U.S. in a national survey conducted by the Center for Digital Government and the National Association of Counties. Loudoun has consistently scored in the top tier of the survey since 2004. • The International City/County Management Association awarded Loudoun County a certificate of achievement for its efforts to track and act upon performance data to improve community engagement, accountability and transparency. Only five jurisdictions received the award this year. • Loudoun County has implemented two new direct bus routes to the Wiehle-Reston East Metrorail Station and introduced Saturday bus service. Route 87X departs from the Dulles Town Center park and ride lot Monday through Friday with morning and afternoon peak-hour service and runs from 8 a.m. through 9 p.m. Saturdays. Route 89X provides express bus service from the Telos park and ride lot to the Wiehle-Reston East Metrorail Station. New Saturday service includes Route 70—Leesburg to Sterling along Rt. 7—and Route 82, the Sterling Connector. The fare on the routes is $1 exact cash per trip. Schedules can be viewed at www.loudoun.gov/localbus. n lution approved July 1 that formally sought standing for the supervisors to participate in the SCC’s review of Dominion’s application to build the power line. In addition, a recently launched change. org petition went a step further than just suggesting new power line routes in the Dulles area. It recommended that the data center’s owner work with the county to find a “more appropriate location” for its facility. “After all, the problem is not your data center,” the petition says. “The problem is the high voltage power lines needed to power it.” As of early Tuesday, the petition had attracted more than 700 online “signatures.” Follow the board’s Wednesday decision at leesburgtoday.com. n

Dulles Airport Tallies Highest Rate Of Damaged, Stolen Bags

ep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA-10) wants an explanation for why Dulles Airport has the highest rate of damaged, lost and stolen baggage among the nation’s 30 busiest airports. The congresswoman wrote Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on July 7 following a report that revealed that the Transportation Security Administration has paid 331 Dulles passengers about $68,000 during the past five years for compensation for missing, broken or stolen items at the hands of airport security screeners. The information was uncovered as part of a joint investigation by USA Today Media Network and WUSA9. “For years Dulles has served as an economic driver for our region and a means to cultivate international business,” Comstock said. “Reports such as this threaten the very viability

of Dulles, which is already facing challenges.” The report showed that the rate of complaints among Dulles’ passengers is 150 percent higher than neighboring Reagan National Airport and 50 percent higher than Baltimore Washington International Airport. The news comes as passenger rates at Dulles have sagged, while they’ve ticked up at Reagan and Baltimore airports. In her letter, Comstock requested specifics regarding items that were lost, damaged or apparently taken by airport workers, and asked whether employees caught stealing have been punished or terminated. “Is this problem still occurring, has it been stopped and, if so, with what certainty?” she wrote. “All travelers deserve to know their personal items, especially those items that can’t be replaced, will be treated with care and kept safe.” The report also showed that the TSA paid $3 million during the past five years to about 50,000 passengers nationwide who filed claims. n

eesburg’s new Diversity Commission wants to improve minority residents’ access to everything from Internet service to snow removal. The seven-person panel held its first meeting July 8, in the midst of a debate over whether some of the town’s monuments that commemorate its Confederate past, including a statue of a Confederate soldier on the Loudoun County Courthouse lawn, should come down. But the commission members didn’t bring up the recent discussion over county and state history of slavery and racial segregation. Instead, they outlined a list of priorities for how to improve relations between the town government and its minority residents. The Town Council’s vote to create the commission four months ago followed more than a year of talks about whether the municipality could do more to ensure the government’s workforce reflects the diverse makeup of the population. The town has seen some improvement in this area. In late 2013, slightly more than 60 percent of the town’s population was white, but that racial group made up 90 percent of the government workforce, according to statistics provided to the Town Council. Since then, more black women, as well as Hispanic men and women, have been hired. Still, the Town Council wants to see more progress. The commission has been tasked with making recommendations to the council on how the town government can improve communications about services to minority residents and business owners, as well as suggest ways for the town to celebrate the community’s diversity. Leesburg Town Manager Kaj Dentler told commission members July 8 that one of his goals for them is to help open doors between the town government and residents. “We see a massive opportunity from a PR approach to educate our businesses and residents,” he said. Commission members said they want to work with the public school system to inform low-income families about discounted Internet options available from Comcast and DirecTV, and to consider teaming with the town’s Economic Development Commission to create an event that promotes diversity and the commission’s goals. Commission member Jed Babbin’s priority is to improve snow removal from neighborhoods with a high percentage of minority residents. He said he’s noticed that sidewalks often sit untouched in the apartments and townhouses near Edwards Ferry Road and Plaza Street. “That’s unacceptable. If there is ever someContinued on Next Page

thing we can fix, it’s this,” Babbin said. “That should be on the top of our agenda.” Commission member Linda McCray added, “It’s time to get tough on those individuals.” Members agreed that the town should have a program in the fall to better inform landowners and homeowners associations about the town ordinance that requires that snow be removed from sidewalks within 24 hours. Several commission members said they were excited to be a voice for minorities in town. “There is really a void in terms of meeting the needs of the immigrant community,” Yvette Castro-Green said. “We should work with the business community so they can know of opportunities that are available and host events that bring out awareness in the community so

residents can feel that connection with the town.” Chang Liu, an assistant director for Loudoun County Public Library, views her role on the commission as a chance to bridge a gap between the town and community. “My professional job is to serve everybody,” she said. “I see myself as a person to build bridges and understandings of people.” The commission is scheduled to meet once a month. At its next meeting, in August, the panel will hear from Director of Capital Projects Renée LaFollette about snow removal policies and problem areas, and Procurement Officer Kathy Elgin will talk with the group about the bidding process for business contracts issued by the town. Enrique Gonzalez was elected commission chairman and Adrianne Bray was elected vice chairman at the July 8 meeting. The other members are Babbin, Castro-Green, Liu, McCray and Oliver Peters Jr. n

Loudoun County.” The Loudoun NAACP opposes the Confederate statue located on the grounds of the courthouse, the statement said, but the branch decided not to focus on removing that memorial but instead on adding recognition of the slaves sold in Leesburg, the Union soldiers who fought for their freedom and the historical significance of the courthouse. These parts of history aren’t commemorated, the statement said, while there are “numerous plaques, markers and signs all over Loudoun County celebrating the Confederacy.” The rally will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday with a NAACP fish fry fundraiser following at VFW Post 1177, 401 Old Waterford Road.

federal judge July 8 upheld the U.S. Patent Office cancellation of trademark registrations for the Washington Redskins, ruling that the team name may be disparaging to Native Americans. It’s the second time Native American groups have filed with the patent office over the Redskins name. The first case, in 1992, was dismissed. But last year, patent officials said: “based on the evidence properly before us, that these registrations must be cancelled because they were disparaging to Native Americans at the respective times they were registered.” Judge Gerald Bruce Lee emphasized that the ruling doesn’t mean the Redskins can’t continue to use the name, but it does mean the team wouldn’t hold the trademark, so others can use it, too. Redskins’ owner Dan Snyder has said that he will never change the team’s name. In March 2014, he announced that he founded a “Washington Redskins Original Americans Foundation” to provide resources to tribal communities around the country. The Redskins can appeal the ruling. n

ominion Virginia Power has begun an effort aimed at making it easy for customers to recycle old refrigerators and freezers. Through its Residential Appliance Recycling Program, Dominion will pick up and recycle appliances at no cost, and customers will receive $50 for participating. “Refrigerator efficiency has improved dramatically in the past 20 years,” Ken Barker, Dominion’s vice president of Technical Solutions, said in an announcement of the program. “Homeowners oftentimes don’t realize how much their old refrigerators may be impacting their energy bills.

ogy skills—whether in manufacturing, advertising, retail or banking—is 50 percent higher than the average private-sector American job. "Our information technology students today are enthusiastic about the future job," Rajin Koonjbearry, professor and cyber security expert at DeVry University, said. "Not only are traditional IT careers standing out, but increasing private information online calls for cyber security experts to help companies protect against threats." Here are some of the most valuable tech specializations and degree programs available to career seekers today: 1. CYBERSECURITY Cybersecurity has been listed by The World Economic Forum as one of the top five global risks in terms of likelihood, and has been ranked as a top concern in federal chief information officer surveys. The White House even released an executive order aimed at improving critical infrastructure cybersecurity. Demand for cybersecurity professionals continues to rise, with the Bureau of Labor Statistics predicting a 37 percent increase in information security analyst jobs through 2022. To meet this demand, colleges and universities are starting to offer degrees in cybersecurity. In May, DeVry University unveiled a new cybersecurity programming specialization within its bachelor of science in computer information systems program, available on campus or online in select states. The program includes systems security certified practitioner preparation and exam facilitation, a key credential employers may require in hiring cyber security professionals that has been accredited by the American National Standards Institute. 2. HEALTH INFORMATION SYSTEMS Another fast-growing tech specialization is in health information systems. The North American health care technology market is predicted to grow significantly to more than $31 billion by 2017, up from approximately $22 billion in 2012, according to Research and Markets' North American Healthcare IT Market Report. Demand for health informatics specialists is partly driven by the growing complexity of healthcare operations, governsgnitsil bment oj fo sinitiatives derdnuh hgtouopromote rht IT in hospitals and the shift toward paperless billing and payment environments. Students who earn a bachelor's degree in computer information systems can pursue professional certification as a Certified Associate in Healthcare Information and Management to show employers their

he career outlook for technology professionals remains highly promising. With so many emerging employment opportunities, The White House announced the TechHire initiative in March to encourage American cities to offer training to prepare the workforce for careers in growing tech fields. The United States has about five million open jobs today, which is more than at any point since 2001. Over half a million of those job openings are in information technology fields like software development, network administration and cybersecurity, many of which did not exist just a decade ago.

4. WEB DEVELOPMENT AND ADMINISTRATION The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects about 20 percent employment growth for Web developers by 2022. During that period, about 28,500 new jobs will need to be filled in an industry that already has roughly 141,400 positions. The expansion of e-commerce is expected to fuel this high job growth in the coming decade. Companies need web developers who can design webpage layout and solve code problems, help expand their online retail presence and safeguard the site and end users' privacy. Given the high job growth rates expected in these four areas, bachelor's degree candidates are increasingly looking for programs that meet their future career aspirations. A specialized degree, especially when paired with a professional certification valued by employers, can open doors to a rewarding career. (BPT)

These analysts combine their knowledge of information technology and business to manage the organization's overall computer system—from designing and developing new systems to helping networks run more efficiently and effectively. According to a new market report, the global market for system integration is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of nearly 11 percent from 2014 to 2020. Following graduation, students who want to stand out from the competition can pursue a post-baccalaureate certificate in Information Systems and Management.

Purcellville Well Remains Offline Pending Contamination Probe

quality test in the well’s 12 years of operation. The contamination “has us scratching our heads,” he said Sunday. The town plans to hold a much more intensive round of sampling to try to find answers, sending the samples to Leesburg’s laboratory for immediate analysis. “We will look at the disinfection process, work on cleaning the well and disinfecting the raw water in the well—and re-test throughout the week,” Lohr said. Lohr said VDOH representatives have reported similar problems in almost all regions of the state—including other places in Loudoun—possibly caused by the summer’s heat and heavy rains. “We broke the record of most rainfall since 1870,” Lohr said, speculating that the amount of rainwater might have been enough to raise the groundwater table to allow surface water infiltration. “Our wells are very, very deep, and that’s supposed to avoid high-water situations—we may find there is one weakness,” he said. The problem with the well started July 9,

when the town learned that a routine sample collected last week at Emerick Elementary School had tested positive for total coliform. Since the sample was taken from an outside hose bib after an emergency water line repair project undertaken by Loudoun County Public Schools, Lohr said the town did not suspect any other problems. Nor were problems detected in a follow-up test of 10 samples in the immediate area. But, as required by the Environmental Protection Agency, one of the follow-up steps involved collecting raw water samples from all the town wells. The tests are taken before any chlorine treatment by the town on its wells, which usually kills any bacteria that may be present. That follow-up sample collected from the Hirst well’s untreated water tested positive for E. coli. No problems were detected at any other town wells. “We will not put it back online until we are absolutely confident it is safe,” Lohr said. “Testing will start us down this road.”n

he Hirst Well likely will remain offline for more than a month as Purcellville staff continues to work with Virginia Department of Health officials to determine the cause of the recent E. coli contamination in raw water at the well. Until the town and VDOH determines how the contamination occurred, the well, which provides about 6 percent of the town’s water supply, will remain shut down, Town Manager Robert W. Lohr said. While the town’s water capacity is reduced, there should be no service interruptions. Water Plant Superintendent Brian Lutton conferred with state environmental health specialist Deborah Hoy, from the Culpeper office, Tuesday to determine a course of action. Hoy also planned to inspect the wellhead and treatment facility to see if there were any cracks in the foundation, Lutton said. The well was taken offline late last week

after a test July 9 showed untreated water contamination. The test results for five additional samples came back positive late Sunday afternoon and showed the bacteria was still present in the well, according to Lohr, who noted that treated water samples showed no contamination. “The finished [treated] sample is fine. It’s disappointing that all five tests came back positive, so it’s not a mistake,” Lohr said. Although the town’s water capacity is reduced, no service interruptions are expected. The plant has a permitted 1.1 million-gallon daily production limit. Tuesday, Lutton said the town’s total daily average production is about 650,000 gallons, of which 40,000 gallons is produced by the Hirst well. That production will have to be made up from some of the other town wells, Lutton said. Luckily, the town has invested in additional water resources over the past six or seven years, so there should be no disruption, according to the water superintendent. The Hirst well is one of the town’s bestprotected water sources in terms of surrounding uses, Lohr said, adding it was the first failed

n an era of dwindling farms, Glenmore Farm south of Lovettsville is a monument to farming stability. On Saturday, family members gathered at the farm for an afternoon picnic and reunion to celebrate the 100 years the farm has been in the Legard family, today headed by R.T. Legard. Located off busy Rt. 287, Glenmore Farm is a trip into old Loudoun—into the days when farming was king. Open fields stretch on either side of the long driveway far as the eye can see, and towering fir trees protect the farmhouse from adverse weather—a necessity in the pre-air conditioning era. Saturday’s scene was festive. Family members enjoyed lunch sitting at long picnic tables covered with red and blue plastic tablecloths;

from Bristol in southwest Virginia. He bought the 250-acre Glenmore Farm in 1915. The farm later swelled to about 1,000 acres, but has since reverted to about the original size. The original house dated to pre-Civil War days, but a fire demolished it in the early 1920s, and the pres-

he Hamilton Town Council on Monday night approved a rezoning for nearly 5 acres in the center of town. The action won’t bring more houses or businesses. Instead, it will allow the town to expand the Hamilton Community Park’s parking lot and make other improvements to accommodate increasing use. The rezoning was required because the land was zoned for residential development and the park was deemed a non-conforming use. Zoning laws prohibit the expansion of

non-conforming uses. After public hearings before both the Planning Commission and Town Council, at which no objections were expressed, the Planning Commission recommended to approve the rezoning and the council unanimously agreed to move forward with the change at its regular meeting Monday night. Mayor Dave Simpson, Vice Mayor Ken Wine and Councilmen John Unger and Craig Green voted 4-0-2 to rezone the land to the PSP (Public and Semi-Public) District. Councilmen Dimitri Kesari and Michael Snyder were absent for the vote. No money has been allocated for the parking lot expansion. n

Dads Chip In At Loudoun Schools

Students, Businesses To Solve Schools’ Challenges At Forum

Aaron McAndrew

For Leesburg Today

hris Blake, a district manager for Potbelly Sandwich Shop, dodged a gaggle of kids to make his way to the lunchroom at Emerick Elementary School on a recent morning. When his daughter’s class came around the corner and saw him, the students waved and yelled “hey” to their Watch D.O.G.S. dad for the day. Blake’s daughter broke from the line and gave him a hug. With his daughter pressed to his side, Blake took his place in the lunch line alongside several teachers to help out. Dads are chipping in at schools throughout Loudoun County. At 34 of the county’s 51 public elementary schools, fathers—as well as grandfathers and uncles—are invited to spend a day at school with their children to lend a hand where needed. At most the schools, the program is called Watch D.O.G.S. (Dads Of Great Students). The volunteers tackle various tasks: monitoring hallways, sitting alongside students to help them with classwork, performing clerical tasks for teachers and keeping an eye on students during recess. “We can’t do it without them,” Michael Jacques, principal at Sanders Corner Elementary in Ashburn, said. He’s a big proponent of Watch D.O.G.S. and stresses the importance of having outside help in the classroom. “It’s a great program. The kids love it. The dads love it. It’s been a big help.” Watch D.O.G.S. is not only popular among educators, but also among dads. Throughout the past school year, roughly 120 fathers have volunteered a full day at Sanders Corner. In the six months since Emerick Elementary in Purcellville started the program, 86 dads have volunteered for it. “This program should be a must in all schools.” Emerick Principal Dawn Haddock said. Watch D.O.G.S. originated as a small, community initiative in a school in Springdale, AR, in 1998. It’s since grown into a nationally recognized volunteer program. Hillary Lindquist, a second-grade teacher at Emerick, said that the dads are a big help with the growing number of students at the school, and that they serve as needed male role models. “The kids love having a fresh face in the classroom, and it helps with academic support,” she said. With their help, “we have an all-handson-deck mentality at Emerick.” Teachers and principals said a day in the classroom for parents also gives them a glimpse of just how hard educators work to teach their children. Haddock said she often hears dads say how exhausted they are at the end of a school day. Bill McKay spent a day in May at Emerick Elementary, where his grandchildren are students. “It was great to see how dedicated the teachers were and how happy the kids were while I was there,” he said, adding that he wants to do his part to see his grandchildren and their classmates do well at school. “We want to see them succeed.” n

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

year ago, companies and entrepreneurs from as far away as Florida gathered in Dulles to pitch their solutions to local public safety problems during a daylong event dubbed Loudoun County Challenge. Now, the nonprofit that organized that event is inviting people—from students and teachers to business leaders—to present their ideas to crack some of most difficult-to-solve

challenges in Loudoun’s public schools. Innovative Solutions Consortium, a Leesburg-based science and technology nonprofit, specializes in these sorts of tech-sharing challenges but typically for large government agencies or industry heavyweights like Microsoft. Innovative Solutions Consortium founder Ken Spedden, who lives in Leesburg, said he wanted to put on an event that benefited Loudoun schools, students and businesses. Here’s how it works: Companies, individuals and students in middle school, high school or college can submit

their ideas for free in four categories: security (physical and cyber), administrative decision support systems, development of a 21st century classroom, and technology and tools to support education solutions. From there, the folks at Innovative Solutions Consortium will narrow the submissions down to the best 10 ideas submitted by students and best 10 submitted by companies or adults. The people behind those 20 submissions will present their ideas to an audience and panel of judges at the Loudoun County Public Schools Continued on Next Page

Instructional Services Department at Walnut Hill Center; as an assistant principal at William Halley Elementary School; and principal of Hybla Valley Elementary School, all in Fairfax County. In Loudoun, he first worked as principal of Cedar Lane Elementary School before serving as Discovery Elementary’s first principal in 2012. He holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education, a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, and an education specialist and administration certification from Virginia Tech. In Patterson’s new role, she will supervise and evaluate the school division’s “stakeholder services” and coordinate the work of all principals in responding to stakeholder concerns, according to the Public Information Office. She also will supervise and evaluate athletic and discipline programs throughout the school division, as well as have primary oversight of Douglass School, the county’s alternative education program.

Patterson started her work with Loudoun’s public schools in 2013 as a school improvement and accountability specialist with the Research Department. She then became supervisor of elementary education. Prior to that, she was the principal of C.C. Wells Elementary and an assistant principal, fifth-grade teacher, special education teacher and third-grade teacher with Chesterfield County Public Schools. She holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Southern University, a master’s degree in special education from Virginia Commonwealth University, a certificate in administration and supervision from VCU and a doctorate in educational leadership and policy study from Virginia Tech. According to the Public Information Office, the division still will hire an assistant superintendent for instruction, following the retirement of Terri Breeden last month. For now, Barbara Nichols, formerly director of middle school education, is serving as interim assistant superintendent for instruction ahead of her retirement. n

Challenge, to be held Oct. 22 from 1 to 5:30 p.m. at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne. Spedden said the thought of executives from some of the top companies in the country brainstorming alongside Loudoun students, teachers and parents gives him goose bumps. “Nothing like this has been done in the nation,” he said. The challenge is designed to benefit entrepreneurs and business leaders, who will get to promote their products for free; students, whose ideas will be thrust into the public spotlight; and the school system, which ultimately could reap the rewards of the ideas. Spedden said once the top solutions are identified, the schools and his nonprofit could work together to secure grants or other nontraditional funding mechanisms to bring the ideas to life. Already, he’s heard from teachers and principals who are excited for their students to submit ideas. The event aligns with Loudoun school system’s One to the World initiative, which encourages teachers to give students an audience outside

of the classroom. The concept is a favorite of Superintendent Eric Williams, who will serve as a judge in the challenge. “Kids want to be heard,” Spedden said. “If you give young minds an opportunity to participate in community problems, the level of discovery becomes limitless.” The deadline for students to submit ideas is Sept. 18. Deadline for all other submissions is Aug. 21. Details on how to submit, and an application form, can be found at www.isc-connect. org/lcps-public/application-instructions. Leading up to the Oct. 22 event, which Spedden called the “crescendo” of the challenge, the nonprofit will host a “collaboration session” July 20 from 2 to 5 p.m. that will give interested participants an opportunity to share their ideas with one another. “This is a chance to collaborate before the main event and for people to consider teaming up with others to multiply their efforts,” Spedden said. The collaboration session will be at the Mason Enterprise Center, 202 Church St. SE in Leesburg. More information is at isc-connect.org. n

he curtain is about to go up on the 2015 version of the farmto-table enterprise created by healthy food promoter Miriam Nasuti. From July 23 to Aug. 2, patrons can enjoy menus offered by participating restaurants and eateries that include a minimum 70 percent menu featuring local foods and wines. From its debut in 2011, Farm-to-Fork Loudoun has helped to build a creative threefold partnership among Loudoun chefs, fruit,

vegetable, dairy and meat producers and local vintners. Patrons have enjoyed sampling menus at various restaurants and getting to know the products raised by local farmers and vintners during the summertime, 11-day initiative. Nasuti repeated the effort in 2012, but in 2013, she skipped a Loudoun venture, instead starting Farm-to-Fork Frederick, drawing on Maryland’s rural food and drink offerings. Last year, the event took place in both counties. The partnership between producers, vintners and chefs is layered. It begins with the farms, without whose products the venture Continued on Next Page

THE FOUNDER’S WELCOME Dear Ashburn Today and Leesburg Today readers,

ello, and on behalf of the restaurant, farm and winery participants listed throughout this booklet, we warmly welcome you to the fourth year of Farm-to-Fork Loudoun and invite you to get out and enjoy a fantastic locally sourced meal at one or more of the 22 diverse restaurants and one food truck involved. This year we have more eastern Loudoun restaurants, and we encourage you to enjoy dining at those, as well as spots located in our towns throughout Loudoun. Each restaurant has committed to serving at least 70 percent locally sourced menu items from the participating Loudoun County farms, and those who serve alcohol will offer at least three Loudoun County wines by both the bottle and the glass on their specially created Farm-to-Fork Loudoun menus. This important “eat local” celebration is now yours for the taking! It’s yours to gather ’round with family and friends to read this booklet, learn more and decide where you’ll make reservations at hopefully several of the restaurants that have made this commitment to serve menus with jam-packed local ingredients. You can read more about all the restaurants involved and see who’s sourcing from which farmer to develop their 70% locally sourced menus, and what wineries the restaurants will feature, on our website (farmtoforkloudoun.com, click “Our Local Restaurants” link). Each restaurant description will indicate whether the Farm-to-Fork menu will be served for lunch and dinner, just dinner or, in one case, breakfast and lunch. I’d like to also take this opportunity to thank every single participant involved in Farm-to-Fork Loudoun. They have worked very hard connecting with each other over the past several months since our special May Meet & Greet. There, the restaurant chefs and owners met all the farmers and winery participants, many for the very first time, and the relationship building began! As well, they each pay an important participation fee. Welcome to Farm-to-Fork Loudoun. Enjoy 11 days of fresh from-the-farm menu items. Take your team out to lunch, your special loved one or the whole family to lunch or dinner, make that date you’ve been thinking about, reconnect with an old friend—any way you go, do go and feel free to contact me anytime at 703-771-8893 or Miriam@DomeniconMarketing.com with any questions. Enjoy! Miriam Nasuti, Founder

hopes patrons will understand that Loudoun is becoming an eating mecca also, full of vitality and diversity, where patrons can get as good a meal in a simple café as in a fine dining establishment. What she hopes everyone will take away from the 11-day experience is not just what gastronomic riches Loudoun has to offer, but also the understanding that the authenticity of the local farm-to-fork venture has never changed.w “It’s about what’s grown here, what’s born and raised here, and what’s then composed and presented in a wonderful menu,” Nasuti said. Patrons should check out the participants—divided into farms, wineries and restaurants—on the Farm-to-Fork Loudoun website to make their choices and reservations.

truck Cured offers a host of culinary offerings and brings a fresh look to the event. On the other hand, stalwarts like Goodstone Inn and Restaurant, Aiyara Thai, Magnolias at the Mill, White Palace, the Wine Kitchen and Palio Ristorante Italiano return. Magnolias’ former executive chef Mark Marrocco is also back—but at the helm of the new Leesburg Public House in Leesburg. Nasuti’s two Farm-to-Fork events, while based on a similar format, have different identities. The farms near Frederick are larger, while Loudoun’s farms tend to be much smaller in acreage, and Loudoun’s wineries continue to increase in number annually. Frederick, MD, is a dining mecca, where all the restaurants are in a central location. Loudoun is different, with its eating establishments much more spread out. But Nasuti

could not get off the ground. Then, local wines are added to pair with the food. The third tier involves the skill of the chefs to bring all the components together to form the actual menu. Nasuti is seeing some new faces this year, as well as missing a few faces among the farmers. It’s a kind of backhanded compliment, as some who started with her in 2011 are now doing so well, having benefited through that early promotion, they are independent of the venture. Others, including original participant Great Country Farms, continue to sign on. “The local food movement has grown so much, they don’t need it any more,” Nasuti said. But she is proud of her role in helping them grow. There are more small, family-owned farms coming on board, all stressing organic, natural means of production and ensuring a healthy environment. Many of the vintners are returnees who have supported the venture from the beginning. This year, Nasuti said she’s excited about the addition of the Stonehouse Meadery, a Purcellville “honey wine” producer, the first in the county. The restaurant component this year is more varied, featuring cafés, bars, sandwich and salad shops, and a food truck in addition to the established restaurants. That gives patrons a more diverse sampling. That variety is seen in Brassicas, a new market and café in Aldie specializing in fresh and natural food offerings. Also new to this year’s roster is Chimole Wine Bar & Tapas Lounge in Leesburg, which adds Latin American cuisine and cultural offerings. Fresh & Organic in Ashburn is a new participant, as is the Bungalow Lakehouse in Sterling. Food

Farm-to-Fork Loudoun

he strength of the Farm-to-Fork Loudoun initiative comes from the interaction of the participants, fusing the skills of the individual chefs with the bounty of the earth. But without the raw products from farms and wineries, the chefs cannot work their magic. This year’s producers’ group includes nine farms, mostly in western Loudoun— in the Leesburg, Purcellville and Lovettsville areas. Many of the farms sell their goods on-site, at local farm markets or through CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) subscriptions and also, in a growing trend, online. The emphasis at the participating farms is on naturally raised products. From berry production, veggies and meats—including lamb, pork, beef, goat, game birds, poultry and rabbit—to free-range chicken and duck eggs, hydroponically-grown fruits and vegetables, honey and sheepskins, even tallow soap and candles—these nine farms offer a tantalizing array of products. Below we list the individual farms and their contact information.

DOG STAR FARM 39524 Rickard Road, Lovettsville 540-882-3184 The small, family-owned farm in Lovettsville has two natural overseers—a Great Pyrenees and a Labrador retriever—who rule the roost. Focused on raspberry production, the farm grows sweet- tasting local varieties. The berries are hand-cultivated, without the use of chemical sprays, and handpicked the day of delivery.

GREAT COUNTRY FARMS 18780 Foggy Bottom Road, Bluemont 540-554-2073; greatcountryfarms.com A popular destination for you-pick and family fun. Wagon rides to you-pick strawberries, blackberries, peaches, apples and pumpkins. For the kids, plenty of amusements—including jumping pillow, giant slides, friendly farm animals and the signature cow train. The farm is open daily, May-October, and also offers CSA memberships.

The wines that will be used by chefs for their locally sourced menus July 23-Aug. 2 come from a variety of new and older, small and large wineries in the Leesburg and western Loudoun areas. They offer a fine variety of Virginia and French varietals, along with fruit wines. Many wineries also feature special events and offer complementary food tastings, and are open regularly for tastings and tours. Below, find details of the participating wineries.

Deployment Continued from Page 1

Pickett, in southern Virginia, for about three weeks to accomplish a number of administrative and field training tasks before reporting to Fort Bliss, TX, for another 30 days of training before deployment. Canan, who is leaving behind a brother, a sister and his parents, said he’s excited and ready for his first deployment. Those in his unit have trained hard since getting the notice five months ago, and Canan said, “We’re going to do well overseas.” “It’s hard leaving my family, but they’re proud of me and support me,” Canan said. “I don’t really know what to expect, but I’m excited to do my part and gain the experience.” Pvt. Christopher Leonard, a 19-year-old who lives in Lucketts, is just as eager for his first deployment with the Guard, where he said everyone is like “family.” “I wasn’t going to college, so I decided to do something with my life and signed up for the Army that day,” Leonard said. Normally, units receive anywhere between six and 18 months notice to mobilize for federal active duty, but the 3rd Battalion was alerted less than six months ago. “This is a very short notice mobilization, and that has presented a number of challenges,” Maj. Kurt Kobernik, commander of the 3rd Battalion, said. “We

are confident that we will meet and overcome all those challenges and be mission-ready by our mobilization date. Our battalion is full of well-trained soldiers with significant experience who will make sure we are ready to go.” Guardsmen from the 3rd Battalion, 116th Infantry last served on federal duty in Afghanistan from March 2004 to July 2005. As his fellow service members boarded

buses to head to Fort Pickett, Price, who served three tours in Afghanistan, took a moment to reflect on the support the group has received. “These guys have trained hard the last couple months,” he said. “I want to thank the families for their support, first and foremost, and also the employers and the community that supports us. Getting a lot of great support from everybody makes it easier for us.” n

Tally Ho Adds Tonic To The Mix July 21 Jan Mercker

jmercker@leesburgtoday.com

he golden boys of the postgrunge music scene, the guys from Tonic had a string of hit songs and a pair Grammy nominations under their belts when they took a break in the mid-2000s. But for the past seven years, they’ve been making longtime fans happy after returning to performing. This summer’s tour includes a stop at Leesburg’s Tally Ho Theatre on July 21. Band members signed with a major label within a year of starting out in Los Angeles in 1993. Tonic’s 1996 album “Lemon Parade” went platinum, and 2002’s “Head On Straight” garnered a pair of Grammy nods. But not long after that achievement, band members took a four-year break to pursue other projects. “We had been on the road for so long. The first record we were home for 20 days in two and a half years. I think we just got burned out to be honest. Everybody was working so hard, and we wanted to start families and start living a life. And that happened,” said Tonic’s co-founder and frontman Emerson Hart, who will celebrate his 46th birthday the day of the Leesburg show. Hart had known guitarist Jeff Russo growing up in New Jersey, and the two reconnected in Los Angeles in the early ’90s. Hart was running a pool hall in LA when his old friend randomly walked in. Russo had just had a motorcycle wreck and “had a cane and long hair and a beard,” Hart said. “He’s like, ‘What are you doing man?’ and I’m like, ‘I’m running a pool hall, but I’m thinking about starting a band,’ and he’s like, ‘Can I join?’ And that was that.” Tonic started off playing gigs at venues around LA. And commercial success came surprisingly quick, thanks to Hart’s songwriting and the band’s signature guitar sound. The band signed with Polydor/A&M and had a platinum album in a few short years. “We got off easy. A lot of bands struggle for years and years, and we got signed pretty much within a year of starting a band,” Hart said. “I wrote [“Lemon Parade”] and we went into the studio with [noted producer] Jack Joseph Puig, and that was that. We were on our way.” The single “If You Could Only See” was a hit, and “Lemon Parade” sold more than a million copies. In 1997, the band added bassist Dan Lavery, who rounds out the trio’s current incarnation. The band embarked on a nonstop touring schedule and released a second album “Sugar” in 1999. Tonic’s third album “Head On Straight,” which included the hit “Take Me As I Am” earned the members a pair of unexpected Grammy nominations (for Best Rock Album and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group) in 2003. “I was happy with that record, and we had a top 20 [song] with ‘Take Me As I Am,’ but it wasn’t a huge smash. Then all of a sudden those two Grammy nominations came in,” Hart said. “It was really cool, but we went up against [Bruce Springsteen’s] ‘The Rising,’ so there was no chance in hell. But it

was definitely an honor to be nominated: I’m totally good with that.” The album’s sales didn’t compare with “Lemon Parade,” and exhausted band members went their separate ways in 2004, with Hart releasing solo albums and Russo building a career writing music for television. Hart released a solo album “Cigarettes and Gasoline” in 2007, but found himself inspired to start writing for the band again. He had stayed on good terms with Russo and Lavery, and the three musicians returned to touring with newfound energy. “I guess technically we did break up because we weren’t out working, but really it was just a pause,” Hart said. “I felt like there was something we could say together.” The band released the self-produced album “Tonic” in 2010, and built up a touring schedule of small and medium venues and lots of music festivals. (Hart spoke to Leesburg Today on his way to the National Cherry Festival in Traverse City, MI.) All three band members, now in their mid- and late 40s, have school-aged chil-

dren, and touring in 2015 is different from the ’90s, Hart said. The band plays a lot of “weekend warrior” shows—flying out for weekend shows during the year. But this summer they’re on a full-fledged tour with

fellow ’90s icons Smash Mouth and Toad the Wet Sprocket. (The Tally Ho gig was booked with that tour schedule in mind but features Tonic only.) Continued on Page 40

“We smell a lot better now,” Hart said with a laugh. “We take better care of ourselves. It’s hard being away from our families. When we started touring, we had one cellphone in the bus, and it was in box. It was something we only used for emergencies. … I have a 7-year-old daughter who’s my whole world, and I just pick up the phone and FaceTime her before I go on stage and tell her a story and she goes to bed.” Hart lives in Nashville, where he has a launched a career writing for country artists but remains committed to Tonic’s “songbased rock ’n’ roll” style with classic rock influences. The band’s signature guitar style began when Hart realized he could run his Gibson Chet Atkins SST guitar through a Marshall amplifier. “I love playing acoustic guitars. That’s how the band got started, but it was never loud enough when we started playing bigger rooms. So I started running my acoustic through an amplifier and then I started distorting it,” he said. “It just kind of happened because I wanted to chase that sound. I wanted the clarity of an acoustic song because that’s how I write them, but then I wanted a distortion for the bottom end.” That trademark style, favorite songs and a little nostalgia have kept fans coming out for decades. “It’s such a blessing for us. We just love it. I’ve seen kids of fans grow up, and they watched us when they were kids and they’re now young adults,” Hart said. “We know how lucky we are to be part of somebody’s life for that amount of time.” n Tonic plays Leesburg’s Tally Ho Theatre Tuesday, July 21, at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 day of show.

To help support the daily operations, TW Perry is currently accepting employment applications and resumes for the following positions in our Leesburg, Virginia location recently voted 2015 Best of Loudoun Lumberyard:

Bu s in e s s

n Aerospace engineer - Design aircraft or spacecraft, satellites or even missiles. A bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering or a related engineering or science field is required. Jobs related to national defense will likely require security clearance and possibly proof of U.S. citizenship. n Explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) technician - EOD technicians locate, identify, render safe and dispose of various forms of explosive devices, including conventional, nuclear, chemical and biological. While this type of job does exist in civilian law enforcement, young women can find numerous opportunities for EOD work in the Navy. n Military clergy/chaplain - Nearly 19 percent of all civilian clergy are women. Choosing to work as a Navy chaplain means you have the opportunity to provide support, guidance and care for members of the Navy,

Marine Corps, Coast Guard and their families, in locations around the world. Law enforcement officer - A number of jobs fall under this heading, including police officer (12 percent are women) and detective. Depending on the job you want, you'll need a varying level of education, but as in many industries higher degrees can help you land a higher-level job and salary. Diver - From search and rescue to underwater salvage, divers play a number of exciting roles. Navy divers perform underwater countermeasures, salvage, repair and maintenance, submarine rescue and provide support to Special Warfare and Explosive Ordnance Disposal communities. Pilot or flight engineer - Women represent about 7 percent of civilian pilots, and many flight-related opportunities are available in the Navy. Naval aviators make up one of the world's most renowned aviation teams, piloting state-of-the-art aircraft, and directing critical flight missions, such as guiding missiles to destroy terrorist hide-outs, dropping relief supplies to those in need, or capturing intel imagery of potential adversaries. Aviation rescue swimmer - Primarily working in military branches such as the Navy, rescue swimmers perform aviation rescue operations over land and in open water. When someone needs help, such as getting off a mountain or rescued at sea, they often turn to being an aviation rescue swimmer.

TW Perry is looking for individuals who want to build a career with a first class organization. We are a building material supplier serving Customers in the DC Metro area. TW Perry would like to give you the opportunity to build a career with us. We offer an excellent benefits package that includes medical, dental, life & disability insurance, a 401K and profit sharing plans.

Aviators to divers, more adventurous job opportunities opening up to women omen represent nearly half of the American workforce, and more than half of all American women work, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Not only are more women working, more are earning college educations, and more are entering fields once considered male-dominated. Young women just beginning their working lives - whether recent graduates of high school or college - have more career options than ever, including jobs that provide adventure and achievement. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says women constitute more than 16 percent of all aerospace engineers, as well as nearly 38 percent of private investigators and detectives. According to the Pentagon, more than 14 percent of active-duty military service people are women, including 21 female admirals, the Navy's highest rank. Young women looking to push personal and professional limits may find themselves drawn to atypical jobs that can turn into rewarding, lifelong careers. Here are a handful of non-traditional career paths that can provide adventure, excitement and meaningful work for young women starting their careers:

Telling Loudoun’s Story

ometimes community challenges can have unexpected, but beneficial, results. That may be the opportunity that arises from two seemingly unrelated situations getting attention locally. First, the county Board of Supervisors was expected Wednesday to decide the fate of the Loudoun Museum by ruling on its request for $55,000 in supplemental funding to avoid a projected 50 percent FY 2016 budget shortfall. The future of the museum and its 8,000 Loudoun artifacts has been in question for several years as the organization’s leaders worked to revamp its financial and operational structure. Although the effort has helped to build a community consensus that the museum plays an important role in telling Loudoun’s 258-year history, it has yet to yield a path to self-sufficiency. The second is the effort by the Loudoun NAACP to better highlight the county’s role in the slave trade and the efforts of area residents to provide aid to those seeking freedom in the North. Those will be among the topics raised Saturday during a rally planned in Leesburg’s Courthouse Square. Although the courthouse wasn’t built until 1894, its two predecessor buildings that occupied that space stood witness to Loudoun’s slave-era history. That connection is little told, even though the site is nationally recognized as an important link in the Underground Railroad. The old courthouse today is little used. It occasionally provides space for legal proceedings, but is usually unlocked only for ceremonial functions. It may be time to put the building to new use—one that could further the immediate causes of both the museum and the NAACP, but more importantly provide a more visible platform from which to tell Loudoun’s stories. There are models across the county of converting old courthouses to community museums. An effective example is nearby in Winchester, which offers displays of historic artifacts and also provides period actors and informative docents to help visitors learn more about the people and events that shaped the community. A wealth of historic research is available to county residents, but too often, as the NAACP points out, it is hidden from view. The Loudoun Museum is well equipped to lead an effort to better showcase that information by collaborating with organizations such as Balch Library’s passionate Black History Committee and other valuable resources. Hidden history has little value. The courthouse could provide a needed center stage to ensure the public is paying attention when Loudoun’s stories are told.

LETTERS to the editor Self Serving

Dear Editor: onathan Hunley’s front-page news article in Leesburg Today this week (July 9, 2015): “Real Estate Group Says New Housing Pays Its Own Way” indicates that a developer group’s sponsored study demonstrates that real estate housing development pays for itself. Hogwash! Developers have been doing these ersatz studies for decades. The consultant hired by the real estate group, All-In Loudoun, says that the cost of residential development in Loudoun is overstated and the benefit of commercial development in Loudoun is understated. The consultant asserts, in effect, that because Loudoun’s home prices are so high and because Loudoun residents’ income and spending is so high, residential development pays for itself. Let’s apply a little common sense to this. Loudoun has been the fastest growing county in the

country and is the richest county in the country. If the real estate group is correct, our taxes should be going down. Obviously, the analysis of this developer funded, self-serving study is inaccurate. Developers propose mixeduse developments with a significant proportion of the development designated for commercial use, so that the net cost to the people does not appear so high. Then, they ask for a rezoning because the demand for commercial development is lower than the supply of land designated for commercial development. Unfortunately, this trick sometimes works. When it does, it results in higher real estate taxes, overcrowded classrooms and gridlock. We can all attest to this. This week’s editorial, “False Narrative” sums it up quite nicely: “It was an interesting exercise, but if they had hoped to sway public opinion and persuade the county board to open the doors to a flood of new Continued on Page 62

the efficiency and profitability of our partners in the region.” Dominion New Technology and Renewable Programs Manager Nate Frost said the program is designed to help the company learn more about how such systems can augment the power supply. “We’re understanding how to best construct the solar systems and figuring out what the data means to the grid,” Frost said. PowerSecure, a North Carolina company, built the system, which weighs 260,000 pounds and covers two rooftops. The panels are designed to withstand 115 mph winds and golf ball-sized hail. Construction began in September, and the system came online in March. The large rooftops of Prologis’ warehouses were a good fit for the project, Dominion New Technology Construction Manager Bob Smith

Dear Editor: The ability of Medicare to cover the needs of retirees is a major concern that appears to be getting worse. People turning age 65 and accepting Medicare Part B as their primary outpatient insurance provider are commonly facing this problem: Their doctor is no longer accepting Medicare, and they are forced to find another primary care physician. Meanwhile, the field of primary care doctors is shrinking as more medical students seek the more lucrative specialty practices. So we now have more retired patients seeking fewer doctors who are willing and able to treat them. And please don’t turn to the government for help. Federal and state budgets certainly have no intention of increasing medical assistance to the elderly. In fact, Medicare projects reduction of benefits beginning in the year 2030. If this is your Plan A in addressing your medical coverage in retirement, do you have a reliable Plan B? Kevin O’Neil, Leesburg said. Prologis started including solar power in its facilities in 2007, Managing Director Jack Rizzo said. The company generates 130 megawatts of solar power at facilities in Europe, Japan and the U.S. “You want to be a good corporate citizen, and we’ve really been focused on renewable energy and also energy storage,” Rizzo said. Frost said there’s currently 2 megawatts of power being generated by Dominion’s solar program, and there is another 5 megawatts of generation capacity under construction. “Our customers in Northern Virginia are focused on renewable energy, and this installation reflects Dominion’s commitment to understanding how solar power can fit into our generation mix,” Ken Barker, vice president of customer relations, said. “The partnership with Prologis will enable us to evaluate the benefits and study the impact of distributed solar generation on our electric grid.” n

Dear Editor: A week ago, I adamantly believed that the Confederate soldier statue standing on the Loudoun County Courthouse lawn should be relocated to someplace like the cemetery in Leesburg’s Balls Bluff Park. I believed that this statue, being the only one on the courthouse lawn, could be perceived by many as an endorsement of everything for which the Confederacy stood, including slavery and for that reason, it needed to be moved. After hearing Leesburg’s newest Rabbi, David Greenspoon, speak about this issue on Saturday, my perspective has changed from one of staunch advocacy for removal of the statue to the belief that there may be a compromise position. He spoke about how in today’s society, people hold such strong, passionate opinions on issues that they tend to talk at each other, rather than with one another. Opposing parties tend to stick to their positions and often don’t even attempt to hear the perspectives of others, let alone reach a compromise that would appease both sides. Rabbi Greenspoon used the debate about Loudoun’s Confederate statue as an example. Proponents of keeping the statue in its current location say it should remain as a tribute to Loudoun’s history and fallen Confederate soldiers, while those who want it removed see it as a sign of slavery and values that should not be celebrated in any manner on public property. Rabbi Greenspoon explained that while the statue does represent a part of Loudoun’s history, it is not a

full accounting of our past. He explained, unbeknownst to me and many others, that the Loudoun County Courthouse served as part of the Underground Railroad and that for this reason, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. As recently mentioned by representatives of the Loudoun NAACP, there are no memorials on the courthouse lawn commemorating this site for its role as part of the Underground Railroad nor honoring the lives of the men who faced trials in that very courthouse for trying to help free slaves through it. Many slaves were bought and sold on the steps of the Loudoun County Courthouse, yet there are no memorials for them either. There is nothing on the courthouse lawn memorializing the many Loudoun residents who sacrificed their lives after joining the Union troops. If the primary argument for leaving the Confederate statue on the courthouse lawn is to preserve Loudoun’s history and to honor fallen soldiers, more must be done to ensure that a full and accurate depiction of our county’s history is presented and that all who were affected by it are honored appropriately. It is time for a compromise that will ensure that hundreds of years from now, when people look at our courthouse lawn, they will see the full story. Sacrifices made by Loudoun residents can be acknowledged, but we must also acknowledge the inequities of the past. Adding a few memorials to the courthouse lawn would result in a more accurate depiction of Loudoun’s history, serve as a reminder of the past that should never be forgotten and hopefully inspire our county’s residents and leaders to continue to work towards the ideal that everyone should be treated equally under the law. The courthouse lawn just might be the perfect place to have all of these things come together. It’s a compromise I hope will be seriously considered. Jill Weiss, Leesburg

Dear Editor: Can Greece happen here? Well it did in my lifetime. I am 96, which means I was 10 years old when the market crashed in 1928-1929. It was a good age to retain memory of what the Great Depression meant to my family and everyone else. Yes, the banks failed, and depositors were standing in line attempting to withdraw money that was about to become an account in name only. When the market failed, most people were purchasing stocks on margin—credit. That meant that when you borrowed money to buy the stock you were obligated to pay the loan back when the stock prices started to fall, if you used the stock as collateral. The banks called all loans in and the borrowers, who were hoping for the boom to produce large returns on investments, could not honor their obligation causing the collapse of the banking system. As paper money gradually became nonexistent, depositors attempted to draw any money they could from their accounts. The banks without paper allowed withdrawals of 10 cents

“This isn’t a ‘development,’ it’s a good-sized town. I don’t think the rest of Loudoun should have to pay to provide services to the folks who choose to live there--they should pay for services themselves. Make them incorporate, collect their own taxes, provide for their own water and security, plow their own roads. Sure, they can and should be a part of the county school system ... but made them shoulder the burden for the rest.”

“As a parent with students in LCPS I applaud the decision. The impact of midterms and finals on a class grade is almost always negative. With the previous system, students would have to score significant above their current class average to have an exam increase their grade. This seldom happens, especially when a student already has a high grade in the class. The math behind the grading results in semester and full year grades decreasing because of the exams.”

Dear Editor: With discussions of hate symbols being all the rage, it struck me that the most common symbol of hatred has conspicuously avoided any scrutiny. After several decades and hundreds of thousands of miles on the road, I’ve never seen a morphed Star of David mocking Judaism. I’ve also never seen a Charlie Hebdo-ized Islamic Crescent. But today, rolling down the Greenway, I saw for the umpteenth time yet another hater mocking Christians with yet another bastardization of the Christian fish. Often maligned with the word “Darwin” inside it, or given legs or, in this latest incarnation, emblazoned with the phrase “N’ Chips,” the Christian ichthys has been parodied mercilessly for years. Why are these vehicular badges of hatred accepted? The ichthys, more commonly known as a “Jesus fish,” has been a symbol of Christianity since early Roman Christians used it as a secret symbol to avoid the government authorities who preferred to have the Christians eaten by lions or rolled in oil and used as human torches. Today, it has become a symbol of Christianity, second only to the crucifix. What possesses these drivers to so flagrantly profess their malice? If a hundred-yearold courthouse statue and a paltry smattering of Confederate flags—which clearly have at least some historical basis—can be called into question, then surely the contemporary nastiness of these drivers who have no rational basis for their emblems of hate should be called into question, too.

to the dollar until they ran out of money. Then nothing was available. This later was the need for the FDIC. Panic followed, as those with big obligations lost everything—houses, cars, jewelry—to creditors. History indicates that many could not face their families and took their own lives. Those history buffs will recall that the big business on the streets were people selling apples for 5 cents to survive. We did have soup kitchens, money was scarce for food and the government was austere and did not have any programs to assist the people. Along comes Franklin D. Roosevelt with his New Deal plans to save us from total bankruptcy. He instituted work programs such as the WPA, NYA and CCC, which employed anyone seeking jobs, plus the Reconstruction Finance Corporation as the forerunner of the SBA. Other programs like the TVA helped farmers when we had the Dust Bowl and, like in “Grapes of Wrath,” people abandoned their farms and headed west. This was a terrible moment in our history, and I recall President Hoover, who pledged in his campaign to put a chicken in every pot. No one even saw a chicken in those days. As we progressed further into World War II, the military industrial complex tooled up for battle, hiring as many able-bodied people as it could. Gradually, the workforce was gainfully employed. The draft caused most of our younger men to enter into the military, leaving voids filled by women. I must add the Victory ships built by Kaiser Industries, in itself a fascinating story that provided our military a supply line. The merchant seaman, many of whom were lost to submarine warfare, are unsung gallant heroes. Norman Duncan, Ashburn

busy thoroughfares, such as Rt. 15, Snickersville Turnpike, and Silcott Springs and Lime Kiln roads. “I want to be the least obtrusive to vehicles as possible,” Davison said. She describes the relationship between bicyclists and motorists as “borderline unhealthy,” and said a change in the local mindset would go a long way toward improvement. “In places like Holland, France and Portland, Oregon, cycling is not seen as a frivolous hobby. It’s seen as environmentally responsible and a lifestyle that’s part of their world,” she said. She gave the example of horses in western Loudoun. When she rides her horse across Rt. 690, into Philomont and back to Middleburg, motorists slow down and often give her a wave. “Why is it, on those very same roads, if I’m on my bike I have such a different experience?” she said. “I think it’s because horses are an accepted part of the local culture here. We’re not there yet with bikes on the road.”

Last year, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office worked 17 bicycle-related crashes, and Leesburg police investigated another 10. That annual tally probably will never hit zero, but Landon said the number of crashes can be reduced through education. Every spring and fall for the past 12 years, the sheriff’s office has aired commercials and posted signs about bicycle and pedestrian safety through its Street Smart campaign. The key, Landon said, is for both bicyclists and motorists to know their responsibilities and understand that lives are at stake. The sheriff’s office receives frequent com-

plaints from residents, often from those who call western Loudoun home, about cyclists taking up large sections of busy roads. Loudoun also is a favorite venue for large charity rides that draw hundreds of cyclists, but organizers are not required to get permits from lawenforcement agencies unless they’re requesting a road be closed. Landon said he understands why the streets that wind through the rural end of the county are popular routes for bicyclists, but he urges riders—and drivers—to be considerate. “A lot of these roads are nice to ride on, but they have curves and hills, and traffic can back up, and if you’re in a car and you come over the hill and you have seven to eight in a big pack riding together, that can create a problem,” Landon said. And, he noted, even though cyclists may legally ride on a busy road during rush hour, they need to know the dangers that go along with it. “Their safety is the first thing they need to consider because if a bicyclist gets hit, they’re going to lose,” he said. “I think education and communication is the key. … Our message is to just do it safely and follow the rules of the road.” Davison said many of the groups organizing the big charity rides are not from here and don’t know until it’s too late that the routes they’re planning include roads that are major arteries for area residents. She’d like to encourage county leaders to post signs to indicate bike-friendly routes or create a network of roads that are identified on a map circulated throughout the county. “Maybe it would divert cyclists away from the busy roads to quieter roads, and it’d let drivers know on what roads they should expect cyclists,” she said.
