The first phase of the Higher Education Center on Northern Virginia Community College’s Loudoun Campus will house classrooms, labs and an events center. The second phase, if the school can find funding, could be a one-stop shop for higher education in Northern Virginia.

he large building that can be seen under construction from Rt. 7 on Northern Virginia Community College’s Loudoun Campus is a sign of big things to come for the college. The three-story, 105,000-square-foot Higher Education Center may be a catalyst for the college’s campus in Sterling to partner with Virginia universities to offer fouryear bachelor’s degrees to students. The 40,000-square-foot first phase of the building is under construction. When

completed next spring, the $11.7 million project will house classrooms, labs, office space, a recording studio, as well as a glass cantilever that will extend over the campus pond to serve as a 250-person events center. “Phase I is not a very large building—it’s mainly another academic building for NOVA—but it’s going to be a really nice addition to the campus,” NVCC Provost Julie Leidig said, sitting in her office that overlooks the building.

Castillo Released On Bond; Murder Trial Set For Next July in the case. Wittmann said she could recall only one other case in which a suspect in a Loudoun murder case was permitted release on bond. Defense Attorney Alex Levay argued there was no reason to reverse the previous decisions of two other Loudoun judges to set bond in the case. He also disputed the prosecution’s claim that the DNA report provided evidence that Castillo’s blood found at the crime scene, suggesting there were other possible explanations for his DNA to be found in the home

In response to a question from Supervisor Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run), Jennings said the authority already has had talks with the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority about establishing some park operations on the land, but those options would best be considered as part of the authority’s broad land management planning study. During the meeting, Jennings also was urged to talk with the state’s Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, which its former Chairman J. Brent Clarke said works with many of the state’s water authorities to manage such facilities. He and other speakers raised concerns that the authority was making the land use study more complicated than necessary and questioned the need for park facilities or other upgrades just to allow people to fish and canoe. “You’re making this seem like it is rocket science,” Clarke said. Although the two-hour meeting ended with little satisfaction for critics of the closure, Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) said she wanted the Loudoun Water Board—only one member of which attended the meeting— to hear the concerns firsthand. Board member Martin Sultan provided little response and said he was just one of nine members on the board. “We’re listening, or at least I’m listening,” he said. Clarke said the full Board of Supervisors plans to meet with the Loudoun Water following its August recess and that she hoped to arrange another community meeting on the reservoir issues in the fall. Clarke said she was confident an agreement would be found to protect the water source while also allowing recreational activities on the property. n

oudoun Water General Manager Fred Jennings urged those pressing for public access to the Beaverdam Creek Reservoir to be patient as the organization works through its long-term planning for the property. But it was frustration—not patience—expressed by most of those attending last Thursday night’s community meeting on the subject. Most speakers among the crowd of about 70 in the Stone Ridge Middle School auditorium said Loudoun Water acted too quickly— and unreasonably—in making the decision to close public access to the reservoir. They also objected to having to wait a year or more for the water authority board to establish new access policies. Loudoun Water acquired the Goose Creek and Beaverdam Creek reservoirs and a water treatment plant from the City of Fairfax in a $30 million deal earlier this year. After taking control of the land, the authority in April announced a temporary prohibition on public access to the land and the water, citing safety, security and liability concerns as well as plans for significant construction. That decision quickly came under fire from boaters and fishermen who claimed their use of the property would not conflict with Loudoun Water’s operations. During his presentation, Jennings explained that the water authority’s acquisition of the property occurred relatively quickly and that the organization’s central focus now is to determine what repairs and upgrades must

be done and how the property could best be used in the future. He showed photos displaying damage to the dam, which will have to be repaired, and the spillway, which will be reconstructed. He also said trespassing—with unsafe and illegal activity—is a major concern for the board. Jennings noted that, while the City of Fairfax did not restrict public access to the property, it did not operate it as a recreational asset. While the Loudoun Water staff is focused on planning the renovation and capital construction projects needed to protect the water supply for customers, Jennings said a special land management planning effort will begin early next year to determine the best uses for the property over the long term. That effort will be led by a consultant, but will be developed with other community representatives at the table, he said. Jennings said it was during that yearlong process that polices would be developed to govern public access to the property. Jennings stood stoically through the barrage of questions, suggestions and accusations from critics at the meeting and responded to most with requests to give the Loudoun Water board and staff time to sort through the issue. Some speakers objected to Loudoun Water permitting crew teams, which had formal agreements with Fairfax City, to continue to use the water, while requests by other rowing organizations promising to agree to the same operational standards have been denied, or ignored, by the staff. Jennings said the current rowing agreements expire this fall and may not be renewed.

intendent Eric Williams, School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) and member Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) joined Mayor Betsy Davis in congratulating the team of parents who worked over the past two years to combat threats to close the small school as a costsaving measure. Williams said the resulting public charter school—the first in Northern Virginia—is a special gift to the students.

Hornberger said the school also was special because it will be controlled by parents, not the School Board. “In the long run, it’s going to be all you students, the teachers and the parents in the community that are going to make this successful,” he said. n You can see more photographs and a video from the ceremony on the newspaper’s website.

on the front, two white cloths with red stains and a knife near the bench. He noted two unknown stains on the ground. Detective Chris Vogel questioned Corletto, who recalled the events of the day leading up to the stabbing. Marco Corletto Corletto admitted that he had several altercations with Rico that morning, including one at Evergreen Middle School where their son attends. He went to Rico’s apartment later that afternoon and attempted to enter. Corletto said the details of what happened next were hazy. Vogel testified that Corletto said repeatedly, “I know I must’ve done it. I must’ve stabbed her. I just don’t remember.” Before Vogel could continue with his questioning, Corletto asked to speak with an attorney. Green along with Vogel testified that they attended the autopsy in Manassas the next day. Dr. Constance DiAngelo, forensic psychologist, testified there were stab wounds to the neck and torso and damage to major organs and vessels, including the left side of the heart and the lungs. Loudoun County public defender Kelly King, representing Corletto, argued that because the defendant maintains a New Jersey address the Loudoun court did not have jurisdiction over the case and moved for dismissal of the charge, saying evidence was not sufficient to warrant a first-degree murder charge. Jacob found that evidence was sufficient to find there was probable cause to support the charge and forwarded the case to the grand jury, which is scheduled to meet Aug. 12. n

agrant@leesburgtoday.com he first-degree murder case against Marco Corletto has been sent for grand jury review following a preliminary hearing Thursday before Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Avelina S. Jacob. The 43-year-old Leesburg man is accused of fatally stabbing his wife, Roxana Rico, 31, May 16 at her home at Clubhouse Drive in Leesburg. Corletto was initially charged with second-degree murder. During last Thursday’s preliminary hearing, prosecutors called four witnesses. Neighbor George Paige said he was sitting in his apartment watching TV when he heard a woman call out, “Help me, help me.” He walked down to the second level of the apartment building and saw Rico lying on the first floor landing on her back in a pool of blood. Paige said he also saw the back of a man wearing a backwards cap walking away from the scene. He called Leesburg Police and said officers arrived on scene three or four minutes later. After police arrived, Paige said he saw the same man wearing the backwards cap being apprehended by police. When Leesburg Police Detective David Green arrived on the scene at 2:13 p.m. he said he saw a Hispanic male, whom he identified as Corletto, laying on a backboard near a park bench. He was bleeding and officers were applying compression dressings to his wounds. He then grabbed a camera and took photos of Corletto, the entrance to the building and the crime scene itself. He found four items near the park bench where Corletto was sitting: a watch, a wallet containing Corletto’s ID, a cell phone later identified as the defendant’s, and scissors, all containing red stains. He also recovered a blue T-shirt with a cut

ark Sgarlata Friday pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and DUI for killing an Ashburn couple riding a motorcycle in October. The case has been scheduled for a five-day trial this week. The 53-year-old attorney faces sentences of one to 20 years in prison on the charges. Patrick Wrenn Jr., 52, and Leia Wrenn, 44, were killed just before 1 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 6, as they were riding a motorcycle westbound on Ashburn Farm Parkway. Sgarlata was driving his BMW eastbound on Ashburn Farm Parkway when he attempted to turn left into the Junction Plaza shopping center and hit the Wrenns’ motorcycle. Mark Sgarlata After being transported to the hospital, Patrick and Lisa Wrenn died from their injuries. Deputy Michael Franks, who was the first responding officer, testified during the preliminary hearing that he smelled alcohol on Sgarlata, who had several buttons on his shirt and his jeans unbuttoned and failed a series of sobriety tests. According to previous testimony, Sgarlata’s blood alcohol content at the scene of the accident was .22. The legal limit in Virginia is .08. Sgarlata told officers he had been drinking at Clyde’s in Broadlands and had five glasses of wine. In addition to the involuntary manslaughter

charges, Sgarlata pleaded guilty to DUI/first offense, which carries a penalty of up to 12 months in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. Loudoun District Court records show that Sgarlata was arrested by Trooper M.S. Middleton on a DUI charge March 24, 2011. In court, that charge was reduced to reckless driving and his driver’s license was suspended for six months. Sgarlata, who is free on $150,000 bond, was expected to report for incarceration Thursday, although the sentencing hearing will not be held until Dec. 12.

Twenty-four career fire-rescue personnel graduated from the second annual LCFREM Officer Development School. They attended the comprehensive twoweek academy from July 17-30 at the Loudoun County Fire-Rescue Training Academy near Leesburg. The department’s senior staff members worked alongside seasoned company officers to design a program that teaches aspects of leadership and management. The program focuses on developing all aspects of a company officer’s role through a combination of lectures and practical exercises. They will develop their skills not only as tactical experts, but mentors, cultivating, and growing department personnel. The program utilized departmental instructors, as well as outside presenters. The graduation ceremony was emceed by Deputy Chief of Asset Management James Williams, who played a key role in the development and administration of the program. Department Chief W. Keith Brower, Jr. and County Administrator Tim Hemstreet also participated to congratulate each graduate. The participants in the program includued: Lt. Scott Lantz, Lt. John Myers, Lt. Matthew Wiles, Firefighter James Elliot, Firefighter Christopher Kordek, Lt. Nicole Artisst, Technician Jake Everly, Technician Greg Zalenski, Firefighter Josh Loveless, Captain Thomas Clappi, Lt.

are required to wear when responding to emergency calls. The AFG program is one of three federally funded grant programs designed to assist local fire companies with equipment, staffing or recruitment activities. “We have applied for this grant for three consecutive years and feel extremely fortunate that we’ve been selected for an award,” PVFC President Brad Quin said, adding the process is highly competitive and applications must be well executed to make it through a technical review and then a peer review of grant evaluators. “Our application resonated, I think, because we expressed our case and our needs directly. We have grown our company’s membership dramatically since 2007, we have seen a decline is financial support through fundraising, and most of all, the equipment we were using was reaching the required life expectancy of 10 years as required by code. We had no way of replacing what was in use given budget constraints and the number of units we needed to provide for our membership. If we could not replace the equipment we’d either have to share gear or reduce service, or both.” The equipment includes special fire and heat resistive coats and pants, special boots, gloves, fire and heat resistant hoods and helmets. Each set of turnout gear costs approximately $3,500. Every fire company in Loudoun County must provide this equipment for each of its operational members. “This grant comes at just the right time so we can purchase an adequate number of replacements and manage the remaining needs within our yearly operating budget,” Quin said. About 15 percent of the company’s $600,000 operating budget is supported by donations. “We are grateful for all the support we receive from our community, but grants like this are becoming increasingly necessary to enable us to provide the quality emergency service our community deserves,” Quin said.

Grafton Expands To Offer Independent Living Program

Total Retail Extravaganza!

8.8.14 Avie LB HalfPage_Inj Days.pdf

DatelineLeesburg

rafton Integrated Health Network Monday launched its new Independent Living Program to teach young people facing difficult circumstances how to live self sufficiently. The program at Grafton’s Leesburg campus is designed to help provide individuals, ages 15-21, who are in the custody of the county’s Department of Family Services, with services and skills to promote advocacy, leadership and independence. It is geared toward helping kids who don’t need a lot of support but need some guidance and assistance, Shweta Adyanthaya, communications director, said. “We’re providing that support to ensure they are linked in to things readily available in the community like getting a job or a GED,” she said. “We’re providing and filling a service need that does not currently exist in the Northern Virginia area.” Independent Living will provide participants with 24/7 room and board, onsite supervision and access to a number of recreational and vocational opportunities. Mentors will help participants learn about and develop skills in money management, food preparation, hygiene, social skills, health and sexuality, transportation, education, career development and exploration, emergency and safety, community resources and housing. The program can accommodate a maximum of eight students. According to program manager Jana Rodriguez, enrollment will be no less than three months and no more than one year, or longer, depending on the student’s needs and skill level. “Our goal is to give them the tools to build relationships outside of Grafton so they can be on their own,” she said. The program is funded through the county; however students 16 years and older will be expected to maintain a full- or part-time job while enrolled. Their earnings can be used at their own discretion. The Independent Living Program is a collaborative partnership with Loudoun County stakeholders. The mission of Grafton, a nonprofit, is to help young adults utilize the resources available within their local community to experience a positive transition to adulthood. For more information on the program, contact Adyanthaya at 540-955-2400 Ext. 7260 or by email at sadyanthaya@grafton.org.

Umstattd Leads In Campaign Fundraising

Bu s in e s s

Educa t io n

This year marks the second time the Town of Leesburg will hold its Town Council elections in November rather than May. Of the candidates on the ballot, only Mayor Kristen Umstattd and her challenger, Town Councilman Tom Dunn, have experience with the fall election cycle. As the campaigns begin to hit high gear, it is Umstattd who is leading the pack in campaign fundraising. In reports filed with state election officials last month, the six-term incumbent reported raising $5,700 during June and having $10,924 cash on hand. Among her largest contributors were B&M Motorcars, $1,500; Eung Gil Choi, $600; Falcon Heating & AC, $500; and Cathleen Magennis Wyatt, $500. Mayoral challenger Dunn, who has two years remaining in his council term if he is unsuccessful in his second bid to unseat Umstattd, reported having $5,176.31 in the bank—funds that include a $176.31 transfer from his council campaign account and a $5,000 family loan. Of the six candidates vying for three council seats, challenger Dwight Dopilka reported the most cash on hand, with $4,087, a total that includes $1,105 left over from his unsuccessful 2012 campaign, $3,000 in family loans and a $500 contribution from Republican John Whitbeck’s senate campaign fund. Newcomer Suzanne Fox reported having $1,000 in the bank, including $500 from Whitbeck’s campaign and a $500 family loan. Incumbent Marty Martinez reported $710.97 cash on hand. During June, he reported receiving contributions totaling $2,484.33, including $885.33 worth of in-kind contributions and a $150 donation from Vice Mayor David Butler. Butler reported no fundraising activity and a campaign balance of $388.58. Incumbent Kevin Wright also reported no fundraising activity and a campaign balance of $241.88. Challenger Jeff Phillips reported no fundraising activity and a campaign balance of zero.

Camp in Staunton. The story, Nearing said, was inspired by a poem by the late Seamus Heaney, which tells the legend of an Irish flying ship appearing above the Abbey of Clonmacnoise. “The concept for ‘Marvellous’ was born from a desire to create intelligent, enlivening theatre for all audiences,” Minnicino said. “It’s just a humble attempt to invigorate the young imagination—a self-aware story about storytelling, poking holes in a traditional narrative to take a good, long look at the way we hear and tell tales.” Minnicino was born in Leesburg and attended Loudoun Country Day School and Notre Dame Academy, now Middleburg Academy. He later graduated from the University of Virginia with a major in drama and English Literature. While at UVA, his full-length play “Troy is Burning” received the Clay E. Delauney Prize for Playwriting and was given a main stage production by the university’s drama department. Minnicino’s plays have been showcased in New York, Washington DC, North Carolina, and throughout Virginia.

Town Tidbits • U.S. Marine Corps veterans, Adam Shatarsky and Ross Delafield, began a walk through

the Mojave Desert last Friday to raise awareness for wounded veterans with their nonprofit The Wounded Walk. The journey took off in Palm Springs, CA., and will finish in Phoenix, AZ. Over the last year Shatarsky and Delafield have walked more than 3,000 miles around the nation, but they said this walk, through 100-degree temperatures and very dry conditions, would be the most dangerous to date. The organization is raising funds to assist veterans with medical bills, in obtaining prosthetics, and in making their dreams become a reality. For additional information about the organization, go to www.thewoundedwalk.org. Supporters can follow the pair’s desert journey on Facebook, Twitter or online at www.thewoundedwalk.org. • Councilman Tom Dunn announced this week he wants to help homeowners associations around town expand their physical fitness programs. The initiative would devote town staff to helping HOAs find grants to help pay for exercise equipment and promote better health for residents. Dunn said he wants to work with interested parties to determine the insurance needs associated with adding exercise equipment to a property. Dunn, who is challenging Mayor Kristen Umstattd in the Nov. 4 mayoral election, said he would seek funding through state and federal grants as well as the Loudoun County Health Department. He wants to partner with fitness experts, clubs, gyms health care providers and organizations and academic institutions. • Leesburg native Mauricio Lorenzetti completed the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s Congressional Internship Program in Washington, DC, last week. Lorenzetti, who studies at the University of Arkansas and is the Time Warner Cable intern, was one of 45 interns chosen from among of hundreds of applicants from across the country to spend eight weeks working in the nation’s capital. He was placed in the office of Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio). The program promotes the presence of Latinos on Capitol Hill and in federal agencies to strengthen their leadership and teach them about the legislative process. n

he next round of Board of Supervisors elections is still 16 months away, but a couple of incumbents are beginning to build up their campaign war chests. According to financial disclosure reports filed with state election officials last month, Supervisor Suzanne Volpe (R-Algonkian) is setting the pace by raising contributions of $37,552 during the first half of the year. She has $89,884 in the bank as she enters her first re-election campaign. On the other end of the scale is four-term County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large), who reported contributions totaling $200 so far in 2014 and only $261 in the bank. During the 2011 election campaign, York spent $88,651 in

the general election, plus $74,782 to fend off a challenge by Steve Stockman during a Republican Party convention. York said he will not be fundraising for the 2015 campaign until the fall. The Sterling District is the only race in which a challenger has formally filed to run. Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), traditionally among the most active fundraisers on the board, reported contributions of $1,400 since Jan. 1, but he has $51,862 in the bank—a figure that is only $10,000 less than he spent during his 2011 campaign. Challenger Tony Barney, a Democrat, reported a $5,000 family loan and $5,388 cash on hand. Some of the biggest spenders from 2011 have a very long way to go to match the pace they set in their inaugural campaigns. Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn), who spent $101,281 during the 2011 campaign, reported contributions totaling $359 during the first half

of the year and $1,961 cash on hand. Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) reported one $100 contribution so far this year and $957 in the bank; she spent $131,134 during the 2011 campaign. Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) reported receiving no campaign contributions so far this year and having $8,488 in the bank. He spent $73,949 during the 2011 campaign. Supervisor Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run) was the low spender among the successful candidates in 2011. He spent $36,276 in a three-way race; Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) was the second lowest at $65,124. Williams has been among the active fundraisers so far this year, reporting collections of $6,042 and $14,053 in the bank. Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) also has been active this year, collecting $7,898 and reporting $27,835 cash on hand.

Higgins has raised $650 so far this year and reported cash on hand of $13,050. Among the big donors showing early interest in the Loudoun board races are: • Citizens for Virginia’s Future, $7,000 to Volpe and $1,000 to Higgins; • Richlands Investments Group, $5, 000 to Volpe; • Lansdowne Development Group, $2,500 to Volpe; • WPC Management, $2,500 to Volpe; • Brian J. Cullen, $1,000 to Volpe; • Liaqat Ali Khan, $1,000 to Volpe; • Northern Virginia Building Industry Association, $1,000 to Volpe • Virginia Shelter Corp., $1,000 to Volpe; • Nanette Krueger, $1,000 to Williams; • Potomac Radio, $1,000 to Reid; and • David and Lisa Butcher, $1,000 to Delgaudio, $550 to Reid and $850 to Williams. n

If the roof is too far gone, we’ll replace it with a roof that will provide secure protection for many, many years. Q: Do I have to have gutters on my roof?

in the past. Depending on the type and grade of roofing shingle you choose, a new roof can last for 25 years up to 50 years. Many manufacturers will warranty their roofs for extended periods should you choose a certified installer. Q: Are all warranties the same, & what do they really cover? A: All warranties are not the same. It is very important to read the fine print to ensure that you really have an installation and material warranty. We have found that 80% of homes do not really have a warranty, though they think they do.

9-16. Last year, Feed Loudoun donated more than 24,000 pounds of produce to food pantries. Founded in 2009 by Julia Brizendine, the nonprofit is part of the national Plant a Row For the Hungry program started by the Garden Writers Association in 1995. To date, the organization has helped provide more than 90,000 pounds of fresh produce to Loudoun food pantries. Gardeners are encouraged to plant an extra row or two and donate the produce that typically goes to waste. Because of the ease of distribution and storage, food pantries stock mostly canned goods and other non-perishables. Increasingly, food pantries are willing to accept fresh fruits and vegetables during the growing season, helping to conserve non-perishable items. Produce can be dropped off at one of the following locations: [Note, some locations require that you call before drop off.]

everal key Loudoun County transportation projects fared well in the initial evaluation by state planners, but County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said it is too soon to tell whether the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority will allocate funding for them. Thirty-two projects submitted by local governments to receive a share of the regional funding available for transportation improvements, along with five Commonwealth Transportation Board projects, were evaluated for their impact on congestion relief and other factors. That examination is a requirement of a new state law intended to ensure money generated by last year’s transportation funding bill is effectively used. There are seven Loudoun projects on the list. The extension of Loudoun County Parkway and of Northstar Boulevard both received high rankings, as did the planned interchange on Rt. 7 at Rt. 690 near Purcellville. Those three were among only nine regional projects to receive high rankings. One concern coming out of the evaluation was that Loudoun’s request to help fund the widening of Belmont Ridge Road between Truro Parish Road and Crosen Lane was rated as having a low impact. The Board of Supervisors plans for $19.5 million of the $36.2 million cost to come from the regional funding pot. Scored as having a medium impact were funding requests to help build two interchanges in Leesburg—at the bypass and Edwards Ferry

Loudoun’s program was selected as the winner among 61 entries, the second most in the competition’s 12 years. “Loudoun County’s entry demonstrated what can be accomplished when volunteers in our communities and government join to help Continued on Page 18

Road and on East Market Street and Battlefield Parkway. The Town of Purcellville’s request for regional funding for improvements at the intersection of Main and Maple streets was given a low priority ranking. York said the preliminary rankings, presented to the NVTA board last month will be refined somewhat. This fall the board will be faced with how to allocate the regional funds— the first big test of whether members can look beyond their jurisdictional boundaries when it comes to allocating transportation dollars. “We’ll just see how it plays out,” York said.

recent interview is its second phase. Phase II doesn’t have a groundbreaking date or even the estimated $27 million needed to build it, but Leidig says it could come with huge opportunities for Loudoun. “The General Assembly approved this second phase but with no funding because the idea is that a university will come along and bring the money to construct it and that would be their building on this campus,” she said. “But, personally, I favor a little different strategy.” She would like to see NVCC partner with four or five of Virginia’s top universities, in a way they could pool their resources and offer a one-stop higher education shop for Northern Virginia. Leidig said she’s seen higher education centers in Texas, where she’s from, that allow several universities to rent space and each provide different bachelor’s programs to undergraduates. “So you wouldn’t have two biology programs competing against each other, for example. Each university would have an exclusive right to offer a particular program within that facility.” NVCC would be able to provide its students more in the way of education beyond two-year degrees, and the universities would benefit by being accessible to more students, as well as all the pluses that come with an already established campus. “It’s a win-win,” Leidig said. “Think of how much more opportunity that would represent for Loudoun County because people just don’t want to drive anymore, even to Mason in Fairfax, let alone farther.” NVCC is already establishing partnerships with Virginia universities that could bring Leidig’s idea to fruition. This month, George Mason University moved its Mason in Loudoun Instructional Site onto the community college’s Loudoun Campus at Signal Hill Plaza. It will offer classes in information technology, leadership studies, education and business with plans to expand. Una Murphy, director of outreach for the university’s regional campuses, said colocating with the community college is not only efficient—Mason and NVCC share classroom space, services and some faculty training—but also gives more students an opportunity to work toward bachelor’s degrees right in Loudoun County. “The real winners are the students. We want it to be as seamless as possible for them,” she said. “It’s about efficiencies, accessibility and co-programming to create pathways for these students.” George Washington University also is launching new undergraduate programs this fall that will allow students to take two years at the community college and two years at the university’s Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn. The community college will begin recruiting freshmen for the program, which will offer degrees in bioinformatics, genomics and pharmaceutical science. University of Virginia and NVCC’s partnership is going into its third year, offering students a bachelor’s degree in interdisciplinary studies on the community college’s Loudoun Campus. “We’re already building these university partnerships at this campus, and we’re hoping to build even more,” Leidig said. She envisions several universities joining forces and chipping in to help build the second phase of the Higher Education Center, or establishing some sort of public-private partnership that allows universities to lease space to make it a reality. “This is a model that I’ve seen work very effectively,” she said. “There’s a lot of opportunity here for everyone involved, but we have to find a way to get the rest of that building built. n

“Mark the Lines of Your Weary Marches: The Travels and Travails of a Civil War Battery Company” is the evocative title of the lecture, which will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10, at St. James United Church of Christ, 10 E. Broad Way in Lovettsville. Civil War re-enactor Keith Foote has retraced the marches of Cooper’s Battery B, a Pennsylvania artillery company, during its four years of service during the war. The company’s travels took them through Loudoun on several occasions, including setting up an encampment on Featherbed Road east of Lovettsville in 1862, following the Battle of Antietam—a site that Society President Tom Bullock was able to help Foote locate. The First Pennsylvania Light Artillery’s Battery B was formed as part of the Pennsylvania Reserve Volunteer Corps in June 1861 and quickly became part of the regular Union Army, attached to the 43rd Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers, and deployed to Washington, DC, and Virginia. During the 10th anniversary reunion of Cooper’s Battery, 1st Lt. Joseph Reed is said to have urged the veterans to “mark the lines of your weary marches during those four eventful years,” an admonition that Foote has painstakingly documented in his book of the same title, giving detailed descriptions and then-and-now photographs of key locations along the line of march.

FIELD HOSPITAL RE-ENACTMENT

Offer valid through August 15, 2014

Aug. 23-24, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority continues its commemoration of the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, with a recreation of the 1863 field hospital set up by Union medical troops at Mt. Zion Church on Rt. 50 east of Gilbert’s Corner following several fights between Union and Confederate forces. The church is now owned by the NVRPA, and Mt. Zion Park Historic Site Manager Tracy Gillespie says the sounds of gunfire had barely faded when wounded soldiers from each side were taken to the church to be treated following “bloody fighting just west of the church site, 151 years ago, following the cavalry battles in nearby Aldie, Middleburg and Upperville in June 1863.” The field hospital also treated soldiers felled by heatstroke, typhoid fever or other illnesses.

bers of the 28th Virginia Regiment, Company D, who will don Union uniforms for the weekend and recreate life in camp as well as medical practices of the Civil War time period. The public is invited to visit their camp, step inside the church-turned-hospital, and stroll through the adjacent cemetery where Civil War veterans are buried. The program will be held from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free, but donations will be gratefully accepted to fund the educational programming at the historic site, Gillespie said.

BOOK SIGNING

Bu s in e s s

A Civil War-related event on a different note will take place at the Lucketts Fair, Aug. 16-17, when novelist Jessica James will sign copies of her Virginia-based Civil War novels from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Aug. 16. James is the first two-time winner of the coveted John Esten Cooke Award for Southern Fiction, named after a noted 19th century literary figure. She first won the literary award in 2011 for her Civil War novel “Noble Cause,” in which the main character is based loosely on the Confederate partisan leader Col. John S. Mosby. That book hit the top spot in the Amazon Military Romance category. James again received the award last month, for her novel “Above and Beyond.” The novel tells the story of a Confederate spy who teaches a cavalry officer that faith is more important than glory and that love is more important than life. The book hit the number one spot on the Amazon bestseller list in the Christian Historical Fiction category soon after its release last August. The John Esten Cooke Award is given each year to encourage writers of fiction to portray characters and events dealing with Southern history in a historically accurate fashion. Other award winners include New York Times best-selling authors Donald McCaig, “Jacob’s Ladder,” and Newt Gingrich, “Grant Comes East.” James also has won two USA Best Book awards, as well as a number of IPPY and Next Generation Indie awards, and other citations. n

New Hamilton Mayor Establishes Project List; Former Mayor Takes Staff Post Margaret Morton

mmorton@leesburgtoday.com

ormer councilman Dave Simpson, who took over as Hamilton’s mayor July 1, has a list of items long under discussion that he wants to bring to completion. Sidewalks have been a top concern over the past several years. While there are fairly basic sidewalks in some areas of town, other areas are completely lacking, or the walkways are in poor condition. “That’s my top priority,” Simpson said. “We need to sit down with [the council’s] Zoning and Public Safety [committee] and see what we come up with,” Simpson said last week, noting some sidewalks are in very poor shape and very close to the road. The problem is compounded in winter because VDOT crews, while clearing the roads, throw mounds of snow onto the sidewalks and the town has limited resources to push the snow off. In a previous presentation, Jim Bishoff,

erected, Simpson said. There are two stationary signs, one at each end of the town, and two mobile platforms that can be moved around as needed. The town also moved quickly on one key staffing objective, securing the services of former mayor Greg Wilmoth who retired after his first term. As of July 14, Wilmoth moved to the employee side of town operations, becoming the Hamilton maintenance supervisor. Wilmoth will be responsible for overall town maintenance, including the town park as well as serving as back-up for Public Works staff. He will be third in line, supporting Wastewater and Utilities Manager Scott Englund and operator Nathan Smith. Wilmoth has considerable utilities experience, and successfully led the town through various new initiatives over the past four years. The previous council had budgeted $50,000 for the new position. “I couldn’t have found anyone better; he brought our system up to standard,” Simpson said. n

Residents Hear Update On Status of Franklin Park Trail

principal with J2 Engineering, gave the council information on various grant opportunities that could help fund sidewalk improvements. Coming up with a plan is essential for receiving grants, Bishoff who also has helped the Town of Middleburg secure grants, told the council. The town previously set aside $15,000, and Simpson said he hopes to work with Bishoff to take on the work, subject to agreement on terms and council approval. Simpson also wants to explore the idea of annexing a small area around the town. This is a separate initiative to the larger annexation possibilities envisioned by the town several years ago. “I’m not interested in vast acres, I want to bring the town into the town, make Hamilton be Hamilton,” Simpson said, noting that some street blocks that are part of the town, officially are beyond its borders. Houses on one side of the street are in, while those on the other are not. “It makes no sense,” he said. Speeding through town on Colonial Highway is a big problem. One plus for the town is the new speed signs, which are now being

bout 25 residents turned out last Thursday at the Round Hill Town Office for a briefing on the long-planned Round Hill to Franklin Park Trail, including the Loudoun Street sidewalk project. Those present included Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge), Mayor Scott Ramsey, Vice Mayor Mary Ann Graham and Councilmen Dan Botsch, Clark Kipple and Chris Prack along with Town Manager Buster Nicholson. Others present included Transportation & Capital Infrastructure Deputy Director Paul Brown along with planner Mark Hoffman, and Dewberry Consultants project representative Tim Belcher. The trail is one of the longest-running unfin-

ished county projects, but both Clarke and Nicholson said Friday the momentum on both the county and the town sides appeared to be gaining. Noting residents during the briefing questioned whether the project would actually happen in light of the long periods of inactivity, Clarke said the project is moving forward. Between 20 and 30 property owners along Loudoun Street will be contacted before Labor Day to set up meetings to discuss easements acquisition, as will several property owners along the trail alignment. Some utility poles also will need to be relocated, but under the preliminary concept plan that number has not yet been determined, Clark said. At present the town’s Main Street Streetscape project is separate from the county trail, but both Clarke and Nicholson said efforts were being made to combine the two.

“At this point the two are separate, but they do join at Loudoun and Main, so we are in negotiations to make them joint,” Nicholson said, noting “everyone is very positive about that.” Nicholson said he was pleased with the new impetus for the project: “There’s a lot of momentum right now.” Experienced in handling construction projects, Nicholson said it seems everyone concerned is focused on the project, noting both County Administrator Tim Hemstreet and Transportation & Capital Projects Director Joe Kroboth want to get the long-planned trail completed. When construction would begin is anyone’s guess, and that timing is dependent on how long it takes to acquire the easements, Nicholson said. “But, with town and county and residents all motivated to get it done, I hope [it would be] somewhere between spring and fall of next year.” n

• Fifty years ago the art of food preservation through canning was a commonplace practice throughout Loudoun. But new techniques, notably freezing, and a faster paced lifestyle Lovettsville saw a dwindling interest in home canning. Today’s focus on fresh local food, however, has seen a revival. The Lovettsville Cooperative Market runs a popular home canning series, using the hot water bath canning method. The co-op will hold its final workshop of the season—Tomatoes Three Ways—at 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23, at New Jerusalem Church in Lovettsville. Co-op member and master canner Stephanie Bickmore will share her expertise with participants, showing them how to produce and can sauce, salsa and jam from the high summer fruit. Bickmore says the class may not be able to finish all three recipes, but will leave with the knowledge to enable them to do them at home. The entry fee is $12 for co-op members or $15 for non-members. For more details and to register, go to www. lovettsville-grocery.com. • Town Manager Keith Markel reports that the search for a new town planner and zoning administrator is going well, following the departure of Melissa Hynes to take a similar position with the Town of Round Hill. Interviews with three candidates have been ongoing this week and Markel said he hopes to have the new staffer on board within a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, Rob McGregor, retired Lovettsville planner and zoning administrator, is holding the fort on a temporary basis. • Canines and peaches will be to the fore this weekend, Aug. 9-10, during the annual Dog Days Peach Festival at Great Country Farms near Bluemont. Peaches are at their Bluemont peak, just ready for picking, and the Zurschmeide family is making the most of the association between canines and the historical “dog” days of summer. Guests can bring their dogs to enter an impressive agility course set up by Sit Stay Training and learn some tips from the professionals in how to work with their dogs. Or, if your dog is good at tricks, enter him in Doggie Olympic Games. As well as the contests there will be a demonstrations and educational talks by animal health and training professionals. Dogs should be leashed, although there is a designated off-leash area, and have a rabies vaccine certification. For relaxation, owner’s can bring their favorite toy for a splash in the farm pond. Vet Wagon will host a drinking station for the canines and the farm also will provide scooper bags to clean up after Fido. Then, it’s time to head out via a wagon ride to the peach orchards to pick from this year’s bumper crop of the late summer time juicy and delicious fruit. Those who don’t want to pick themselves, can find plenty of already picked peaches and other summer produce at the Farm Market. Over at the Roosteraunt concession stand, visitors will find peach slushies, peach pies and hand-dipped peach ice cream—along with barbecue, salads, burgers and gourmet hot dogs. Admission is $12/adults; $10/children; and free for age 2 and under and military ID holders. For a detailed schedule of events, go to www.greatcountryfarms.com or call 540-554-2073.

ore students than ever are spending their summer getting up-close lessons in history and leadership through the Extreme Journey Summer Camp. The camp, organized by the Journey Through Hallowed Ground Partnership, gives middle school students an opportunity to experience the region’s history through visits to battlefields and other historical sites. Campers are divided into teams and assigned a famous historical figure to research for two weeks, and then they are asked to create a video demonstrating what they learned. They journey to historic sites like Monticello and Gettysburg to film their videos and learn about the significance of the locations in relation to their historical figure. At the end of the camp, the students show their videos to a crowd of parents, friends and Loudoun County education leaders in what’s known as the “Grand Premier.” “The overarching question of the camp is ‘what does leadership mean to me,’” Blaine Horton, the camp director, said. “They learn a lot about themselves, not only from each other but from the historical leaders they study as well.” Rising sixth-grader Brian Zimmerman said of the historical figure he researched, “I think that Clara Barton was probably one of

So much so that a fourth camp session was added this summer to accommodate more than 100 campers in four sessions—three sessions in Loudoun County and one in Albemarle County—and still the camp maintained a waiting list of about 30 students. “We learned from parents that the kids gained a lot of confidence and became more sure of themselves, so they ask ‘when can we sign up for next year,’” Horton said. Some campers, like Cole Trautman and Mason Mahmud, both rising eighth-graders, were so enthralled with the camp experience that they already applied to become counselors for next year’s session. “We learned so much this year and wanted to come back, but with more responsibility next year,” Mason said. Campers spent one of the final days of the camp last week navigating a ropes course and flying through the trees on a zip line at Camp Highroad in Aldie.

his Sunday, Franklin Park Arts Center will resonate to the music and words written by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein in the popular 1959 musical, “The Sound of Music,” based on the memoir of Maria Von Trapp: “The Story of the Trapp Family Singers.” The cast will give two performances—at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The production is unusual in two aspects: The First Act performance features a teenage cast of 20, headed by its founder, 16-year-old homeschooled director-producer Kristen Fitzgerald from Waterford, and, secondly, the production will benefit the Tree of Life Ministries in Purcellville. The student actors come from area public schools, private schools, homeschools and even graduates now headed to college in the fall. At the center of the venture is Kristen Fitzgerald, who turns 17 at the end of the month. There is nothing uncertain about Kristen, who says she has been in love with theater “since I was 8 years old.” With a bubbly and confident personality, she has been the backbone of the production from the start, when she first had the idea to create a teen-based production that would also be a community outreach. “My first show was the Sound of Music,” Kristen recalled this week, calling it near and dear to her heart. Her inspiration for this show came because “I wanted to give to the community and I wanted to take my love of theater to Continued on Next Page

center, but the teens were determined. “They have worked their tails off, I’ve never seen such a committed group of kids,” Kristen’s mother said. And everyone pitched in. A professional graphic artist did a poster to promote the play. Kristen put her life savings of $2,000 into the production, earned from giving voice lessons for two years. An audio-visual professional offered help. And everyone—cast, parents and friends—made sets, props and sold tickets. Her two siblings pitched in. Kristen plays the Mother Abbess, her sister Rachael plays Gretl, and her brother Michael plays the interlude theme on the piano. Does she regret putting her life savings into the venture? “Really, it was a lot of money,” the teenager acknowledged, but no, she said, adding she feels good that everything left over after covering costs goes to Tree of Life. Area businesses also “have been very kind,” Kristen said. Kristen followed up on a suggestion by a cast parent that she might look at the Tree of Life as a community partner. The light bulb went off, she said, noting she had family members who benefited from their programs, citing a cousin who received help with a job application, securing the position he wanted. “They’re so direct and I loved their organization and there are so many facets of their outreach,” Kristen said. She credited Tree of Life COO Wayne Ruckman, with helping with the play’s website and promotional strategy. The love is reciprocated. President and Chief Executive Paul Smith, a former bank officer, said what was remarkable to him was the group’s initiative: “They came up with the idea by themselves and they ran the whole thing. Marketing, that’s the big thing and they’ve done that,” he said. “They ran with it. We just turn up and demonstrate our appreciation.” Smith said with 12 different ministries,

the next experience—to fuse my love of theater and the need to give back.” Rehearsals began in early summer at the Fitzgeralds’ home near Waterford. “She asked me in February, ‘Can I do it,’” her mother, Susan Fitzgerald recalled. Her parents idly said “of course,” thinking she meant something in the backyard with a few friends, certainly not the full-scale production Kristen had in mind. “We didn’t realize she was researching it to the nth degree. She left no stone unturned,” her mother said. Kristen started hand picking the actors, from among those she knew, had performed with or had seen acting. The path was not always smooth, as in having to keep pressing the Rogers and Hammerstein company for rights to the musical. Nor was it easy working through all the regulations of the county-owned arts

there are plenty of places where the money is needed—especially Tree of Life’s most recent programs—the transitional housing ministry for women and children, and the Still Waters program that provides respite care for children in need. Ruckman, who has worked closely with the troupe, said, “They came to us out of the blue, I wasn’t expecting them. “We feel really blessed by this young team; it help us to learn a lot by listening to the hearts of the younger generation,” Ruckman said this week. “It’s been a roller coaster, and exhilarating,” Susan Fitzgerald said. Beyond the play, as a parent, she said what is important, is “how have you made the world better, what keeps giving beyond that, what is the legacy” the teens will leave. After Sunday, the teens will have left a model for others to emulate—one that is fun, teaches kids about leadership and the importance of community involvement, and leaves a gift for others. Kristen had the last word. In an interview this week, the teenager said the experience had allowed her to forge new friendships and gain leadership skills. “As a person, I tend to be rather in the back seat than the front, but as a director I learned to work with different people and how to teach them—everyone’s learning style is different.” And she’s ready to do it again. “I’m already thinking of future shows—and volunteering at the food kitchen,” Kristen said. Show times are 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10. Admission is $10 through the website www/the-first-act.org or $12 at the door. n

Players, both male and female, wait to get their turn on the field during the first day of practice.

hen Pat McNanley, the athletic director at Rock Ridge High School, began the hiring process for the first head football coach in the school’s history, he had several attributes in mind.   “The main thing was, and it was with all of our [head coaching] positions, we wanted to make sure the person was a really good teacher,” McNanley said. “That was the most important thing, as well as a good role model for our kids and having good morals and ethics.”   McNanley had more than 50 applicants for the position at Loudoun County’s 14th and newest high school, which draws its students from those recently in the Briar Woods, Broad Run and John Champe attendance zones. McNanley said it wasn’t an easy process, but in the end, one person stood out above the rest.   That man was Tony Tallent. Tallent comes to Rock Ridge after seven years at Warren County High School in Front Royal, where he led the Wildcats to four straight postseason appearances after rebuilding the program. The 43-year-old native of Harrisonburg is entering his 25th year of coaching and brings a wealth of experience to the Phoenix.   “The success Tony had on top of [the other factors] was what really set him apart,” McNanley said of Tallent, who will teach special education at Rock Ridge and be the department head. McCanley cited “His success as a coach over the last 20-plus years and the places he’s been, on top of the fact he is one of the most qualified special ed teachers in the state. He had

a lot of little things that set him apart.”   Tallent is a 1989 graduate of Harrisonburg High School, where he played for VHSL Hall of Fame coach Tim Sarver. After attending nearby James Madison University for a year, Tallent decided he wanted to get involved in high school coaching and asked Sarver to join his staff. While gaining his teaching degree at James Madison, he spent the next 13 years at Harrisonburg and helped guide the Blue Streaks to the 2001 Group AA state championship.   Meanwhile, he began working at summer camps at James Madison and developed a good relationship with head coach Mickey Matthews. Tallent joined the JMU staff in 2003 as the receivers coach and spent three seasons with the Dukes, including the 2004 campaign that led to the program’s only NCAA Division I-AA (now Football Championship Subdivision) title.   Tallent returned to Harrisonburg High in 2006, but he was offered the head coaching position at Warren County in 2007. Skyline, a new school in the county, was opening that fall and taking over at Warren County was like starting a program from scratch.   The Wildcats struggled in their first three seasons, winning a total of eight games, but things began to click by the fourth year (2010) as Warren County reached the Group AA Division 3 state quarterfinals. Tallent led the Wildcats to three more postseason berths before deciding to move on for another challenge at Rock Ridge.   “It was a complete rebuild at Warren County,” Tallent said. “When the schools split, everybody wanted to go to Skyline because Warren had kind of a cloud hanging over it due to some of the things that happened back in the 1950s and ‘60s [with school desegregation]. To overcome those prejudices was the biggest challenge in building the culture.

“It took us a while to get that going and implement a lot of the things I learned from Coach Sarver and Coach Matthews,” he added. “Once that happened, when the kids understood our expectations not only on the field but also academically, we really started to flourish and made the playoffs the last four years straight. Warren County had never been to the VHSL playoffs prior to that, so that was really something to be proud of.”   In a perfect world, Tallent would have a “ground and pound” rushing offense and a defense that swarms around the ball. But he understands you don’t always get what you want with a fledgling program, which will have no seniors and will play junior varsity and freshman schedules this fall. His first concern at Rock Ridge is developing a culture of success and finding what his current players can do well.   “I want to make sure we are fundamentally sound on both sides of the ball,” Tallent said. “When you do that, I think as long as you are in the right places doing the right things, the kids will be successful. We’re going to do what the kids do well. The best part about our offensive and defensive scheme is it’s flexible enough to adapt to the kids.   “The kids have been playing in good programs,” he added. “Those are two great coaches [Charlie Pierce at Briar Woods, Matt Griffis at Broad Run] who have done a fantastic job with their programs. So we just want to make sure whatever we put out on the field, the kids are good at it and they enjoy it. That makes it fun. If they’re good at doing something, they’re going to have fun and be successful. That is definitely a both sides of the ball thing.”   Rock Ridge opened practice Monday with 46 players and the coaching staff spent the first two-hour practice session teaching fundamen-

tals. For the first 30 minutes, the players rotated through stations where each of the seven assistant coaches taught various techniques, then the groups were gradually brought together until the final 30 minutes saw the Phoenix running offensive formations.   Tallent brought his coordinators—Steve Rudolph and Brandon Wakefield—with him from Warren County. Rudolph will be the assistant head coach and defensive coordinator in addition to working with the linebackers, while Wakefield will hold down the offensive coordinator position and coach the quarterbacks. The other five assistants are new to Tallent’s staff and include Steve Celio (running backs), John Crittenden (offensive line), Ryan Fortenbaugh (defensive line), Paul Grinups (defensive backs) and former Washington Redskin Darnarian McCants (wide receivers).   “He’s a very loyal guy,” McNanley said of Tallent. “I got that sense from the people that had been working with him and came with him. They gave up where they were and sold houses to come up here. He had a whole group of people who were willing to come, uproot their families, to still come work with him here and do this.”   “Having the right people in place is the biggest concern,” Tallent said. “I felt that was something I was able to address by bringing both my offensive and defensive coordinator from Warren. The coaches we’ve hired here are extremely knowledgeable and great program people. I’ve been really excited to put this staff together.”   Tallent believes McNanley and Rock Ridge Principal John Duellman are two of the “right people.”   “Pat McNanley has done a great job setting things up so the community has had access to the new head coaches at Rock Ridge,” Tallent

Tallent is excited about the prospects of building a second winning program.   “I love developing the culture and implementing the things I’ve been taught over time,” Tallent said. “When you’re starting a program, we tell the kids that you’re going to be a part of something that down the road is going to teach you a lot more lessons. When you look back at the program and when it becomes successful, you’re going to say ‘I built that foundation.’ That’s a sense of pride that only a few kids ever get a chance to do.   “The reason I got into coaching was two things,” he added. “I had fun at practice and games, and those coaches got me through high school. Those people helped guide me and I feel like that’s your job as a coach. Providing kids with the stability a program can offer is important. It’s something they can always feel a part of and come back to. These days, kids search out something to be a part of and when they don’t find something positive, that only leaves one alternative. So we need to provide something kids want to be a part of.” n

said. “Pat and Mr. Duellman were primarily the reason I was sold on Rock Ridge. I really felt the leadership was so strong and so supportive and we all had the same goals in mind. Their emphasis on family and building a culture was important. When I interviewed with them, we spent two hours and out of the 20 questions, we might have gotten through three. We just got into a dialogue of what we want to build as a culture and that’s what sold me on it.”   Tallent said his wife Jeannie, who will teach at Trailside Middle School (also a new school this year), and his daughter Mara, who will be in seventh grade at Trailside, are big factors in creating the sense of “family” within his program.   “I enjoy developing the sense of community within the school and with the team,” Tallent said. “I enjoy interacting with the community with my family. My family is part of my football presence in the school. Football has always been a family thing for us, and we try to incorporate that into our coaching staff and with our players.”

he tough thing—and the wonderful thing—about being part of the western Loudoun-based teen band The Immortals is that it has a built-in expiration date. Members know that when they’ve reached the end of their high school careers, it’s time to move on. The band, created by Lovettsville-based Loudoun Music Instruction owner/instructor Frank Keim, is aptly named: the group lives on at LMI over the years, even as students age out and move on to other things. When older students head off to college and other pursuits at the end of each summer, they pass the torch to talented new musicians. The current Immortals incarnation plays its final show at Franklin Park Arts Center Aug. 9. It’s the last show for college-bound 2014 Woodgrove graduates Joseph Keim, Keim’s son, and Julia Hiser, both 18. Frank Keim and members of the Immortals recently sat down with Leesburg Today before a rehearsal at Keim’s basement studio. There was an ambience of fun, camaraderie and mutual respect from these serious musicians who are selected for the group based on their firm grip on music theory

and willingness to work hard. “You work really hard to get in and once you get in you want to work even harder because it’s not just about performing as an individual any more,” said Emily Horton, 16, a rising junior at Woodgrove. “It’s about coming together as a group and helping each other to improve.” Keim launched his school in 2004 and started the band in 2006 when he saw that, for a certain cadre of dedicated students, the typical 30-45 minute music lesson just wasn’t enough. “I wanted to give them the opportunity, if they wanted to work hard, to work with other kids and to be a part of something where there’s an adult present who can mentor them and help them achieve what they want,” Keim said. The selection process is rigorous, he added, but people usually aren’t surprised by which students make the cut. “Musical ability and determination and creativity and passion are really equal when it comes to becoming a member…One child could be picked because of their incredible musicianship and someone because of their creativity and another because of their determination or a combination of those things to put them on a level playing field with those other kids,” Keim said.

His daughter Laura, now in her last year at Binghamton University in New York, was in the first Immortals class. So far, 26 students have moved through the band, including current members. Students hail mostly from western Loudoun, where LMI and the band are well known from frequent appearances at community events and small town festivals, which the group regularly plays free of charge. For band members, a weekly three-hour Saturday morning practice is set in stone, in addition to frequent evening practices to prepare for gigs. Many of the band members are also heavily involved in music programs at school and church. As is generally the case in each Immortals class, senior members Keim and Hiser, who have known each other since elementary school and who both joined the band in 2009, have been its driving force this year. The pair has helped usher in a new style for the band, which has transitioned from its origins as a classic rock/punk band to a more jazz and R&B influenced ensemble. But as its current leaders leave the scene, younger members are stepping up to keep the music flowing. Singer/guitarist Aidan Bruecken, 16, a rising junior at Woodgrove, is one of those new leaders. Bruecken plans to continue that

jazz-influenced transition in coming years, with the support of bandmates. The 2014-2015 group includes Horton; multi-instrumentalist Tyler Scheerschmidt and bassist Ryan “House” McCall, both 17 and rising seniors at Woodgrove; and a group of younger members selected for their outstanding ability and musical maturity, including percussionist Nathan Dahlman, 14, a rising freshman at Loudoun Valley High School, singer/guitarist Lauren Bogle, 14, and guitarist Cole Zimmerman, 13. Bogle, a rising freshman at Woodgrove who made her first appearance with the Immortals as a middle-schooler during last year’s Oktoberfest celebration in Lovettsville, says age isn’t an issue in the group. “From the very first practice, they made us feel included,” Bogle said. “Musicians stick together—we’re always very respectful of each other’s talents.” Zimmerman, the band’s youngest member and a rising eighth grader at Harmony Middle School, said that for him, there was no question about making a big musical commitment at a young age. “When I first got the email about being invited to the Immortals, my parents were like, ‘Are you sure you want to do this? It’s a lot of work. You’ll have to be practicing and working all the time,’” Zimmerman said. “I told them, ‘It’s not work to me, it’s what I love to do.’” The band’s repertoire is eclectic. Members still enjoy playing some of the classic rock tunes favored by past members, but have been experimenting with different genres. The upcoming Franklin Park show is slated to include renditions of standards like “Fever,” “Killing Me Softly” and “Stormy Weather,” designed to set off vocals from Hiser, Horton and Bogle. The band generally does several originals at each show, and songs are often co-written by two or more members working as a team. Song choices are both member-driven but also influenced by Keim, who picks songs that will stretch his students as musicians. “When you come in here, you have to expect to be very versatile with what you’re going to be singing and playing,” Bruecken said. “[Frank] picks out the songs based on what will benefit us the most as musicians.” And members say that the band is not only helping them grow as musicians but also as people. The band is well known for its annual trip to Cleveland, OH, to play a show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and give music lessons to disadvantaged young people in that city. During the three-day trip last spring, members worked with children at a church and a youth center before and after taking the stage at the hall of fame. In many cases the group is able to work with the same kids year after year. “People always say, ‘You went to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame—that’s cool, that’s awesome,’” Bruecken said. “But the real thing that we get out of it is seeing kids who want to do music doing music. We kind of see ourselves when we were younger.” Continued on Page 34

With its excellent acoustics and engineering staff, Franklin Park Arts Center is a favorite venue for band members, and they’re working hard to make sure the Aug. 9 show is a big success. “We want to make sure that Julia and Joe’s last show is amazing and so we’re all working really hard,” Horton said. “They put so much into this and they deserve to get a lot out of it.” For the college-bound members, saying goodbye is emotional, but the knowledge gained and relationships established have made the time investment worthwhile. Keim heads off to the University of the Arts in Philadelphia later this month, and Hiser will be going to University of Virginia where she’ll study music and engineering. “It’s very easy to put time into it because the more you give, the more you get out of it,” Joseph Keim said. “By being an example to the younger kids and working hard, they in turn work a lot harder. All the stuff that I’ve learned in The a sIt’shnot b like, urn Immortals I know will stay with me. ‘I’m leaving and I did all that work for nothing.’”

That is always a consideration you have to put forward.” County supervisors and School Board members were scheduled to m eet Wednesday to get a more detailed budget presentation, but that meeting has been postponed until a yet-to-be-determined date because of the snow.

The upcoming show is particularly bittersweet for Frank Keim—he’ll not only be saying good-bye to two talented musicians but also sending his son off to college. “When it comes to being in the Immortals, [Joseph] is just one of the kids and that’s really how it is. And when he goes I’ll be 100 percent focused on the other kids that are there,” he said. “Of course, when he leaves the house, that’s a whole different story—I’ll miss him terribly.” “I feel like I’ve gotten what I can out of the Immortals, which is a lot. I can go on and use what I’ve learned in the real world,” said Hiser, adding that she’s particularly looking forward to singing the blues-rock song “Valerie” (made famous by Amy Winehouse) at her last concert as a tribute to her longtime friend and collaborator Joseph Keim. “Joseph and I have been best friends since first grade,” she said. “That’s his favorite song.” n The Immortals will play the Franklin Park Arts Center Saturday, Aug. 9 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $7 and t be o sold d aatythe door.

neighborhood celebration, but Monday’s ribbon cutting for the Middleburg Community Charter School was undeniably special.

While its proponents may have set out

on a mission to preserve a community school threatened with budget-cutting closure, they created something more. At the very least, they have expanded the school’s “community” to reach far beyond the environs of Middleburg by offering a true school choice option for students and parents in all corners of the county.

Although the first of its kind in Northern Virginia, the

public charter school isn’t housed in a modern building filled with shiny new equipment. Instead, its operation keeps the doors open—and the narrow hallways bustling—at one of the county’s longest serving educational buildings. The foundation

A New Course

General Fax Number 703-771-8833 info@leesburgtoday.com

Leesburg Today is published weekly by

tury-old brick and mortar, but by the teachers and administrators who joined the experiment, the dedicated efforts of parent volunteers and the continued support of town leaders and others who championed the project. Also, it will be Loudoun’s only public school in which the curricula, staffing and operational policies are under the control of parents, rather than the School Board or central office administrators.

As students played and picnicked with their parents during

the barbecue before the school’s formal opening ceremony Monday evening following a full day of classes, there were few indications of remorse about their having to return to the school a full month before their peers.

There was, however, a palatable enthusiasm among all

gathered for the event that they were part of something special. They are setting a new course for their families, and likely for others in Loudoun as well.

Dear Editor: his letter is to thank all of the Leesburg residents and business owners and staff who have come out over the past 10 years to support the America’s 9/11 Ride. This part of the journey is truly emotional, heart warming and moving. Every year participants tell us that Leesburg is one of the highlights of this ride. We hope that you will be able to show the same support for this year’s ride through Leesburg. We host this event in honor of those who perished that day and for those who are still protecting all of us. On Friday, Aug. 15, the America’s 9/11 Ride will be coming through Leesburg at approximately 1:45-2:15 p.m., as they travel from the Pennsylvania crash site of Flight 93 to the Pentagon, and then on to the World Trade Center site.

Our request to the residents and businesses along the route (King St.) is to support this 9/11 event by coming out to welcome the motorcyclists, from all across America and Canada, as they travel through Leesburg. Please show your patriotism by waving a flag or just a friendly wave. The events of September 11, 2001, affected each of us in different ways and many of the people who participate in this event were directly involved. The encouragement of friendly faces or an American flag waving as the participants go by are emotional moments for many.

Dear Editor: I totally agree with the editorial entitled “No Need” inthe July 17 issue. The article has all the correct reasons for not to consider expansion of the Economic Development Authority’s ground rules pertaining to labeling and issuing bonds—taxable or non-taxable—to pay for a stadium in which the Hounds ball club would play. The tune sung by those in favor of financing a stadium is that no public funds would be used, and that is correct. However, when the Hounds ball club is not showing a profit who is going to pay the interest due on the bonds, taxable or not? With the possibility of the Hounds owners defaulting, the usual route taken by the government is pay off the bonds. It surely would happen here in Loudoun County in order to protect the very high financial rating our county has … but it’s expensive. So far, the county has not had that situation to cope with and we don’t want it now. Some examples of commercial failures are

when Massachusetts lost $10 million when they backed guarantees to Evergreen Solar. Rhode Island bet on video games and lost $100 million. U.S. government funding to Solyndra and others have now cost the government more than $1 billion. We should not, now or ever, short circuit the existing proven-to-work-well permitting process. Additionally, if the owners of the Hounds ball club believe that their business proposal for selling bonds to pay for stadium construction is a good scheme, then they should go to those institutions that are in the business of lending money for good ideas or projects. One more sorry story for us right here in Loudoun County was for $225,000 of our funds Dan Snyder would have Loudoun County mentioned when broadcasting games. Anybody remember that? One last curiosity: Ball clubs really don’t show much taxable profit. Matter of fact, almost all of the profit is used to support “business expenses” and when deducted from their income, very little is left to be taxed and given to the government. One sees the tremendous ballplayer salaries. Add that to the cost of advertising, uniforms, club travel, and on and on and on. All are business expenses that can be deducted. Not very much is left and taxed, or in our case, to pay for bond interest. Like the editorial’s final comment. “We don’t see it.” Neither do I. Paul J. Bernazahi, Ashburn

After the two-hour hearing, Sincavage agreed with Levay that the DNA report did not represent a change in circumstances significant enough to revoke the $2 million bond set in May. Following Castillo’s arrest April 1, a $1 million bond was set in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. Prosecutors appealed that decision to the Circuit Court and McCahill raised the bond but did not revoke it.

From the original 1990 rezoning, proffer 41(a) reads “Applicant will comply with the Department of Parks and Recreation Service Plan (dated August 1987) with regard to monetary contribution to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors for a junior Olympic swimming pool.” Proffer 41(b) reads, “Applicant will comply with the Department of Parks and Recreation Service Plan (dated August 1987) with regard to construction of a community center, and dedicate such to the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors.” These two proffers were renegotiated eight years ago in order to change the design to an indoor pool. Despite the best efforts of the town and local residents to get a more useful facility out of these two proffers, the County issued a zoning determination on December 8, 2006 accepting a mere 4-lane indoor pool in exchange for 41(a) and 41(b). The County also declined to contribute to the project to expand it to a more useful 6-lane facility. Despite any marketing or misleading information provided to homebuyers and reporters, the Round Hill Aquatic Center has always been planned and proffered as a public pool. The residents of the Villages of Round Hill may never get their long-promised private pool, but it is not because of the county. Scott Ramsey, Mayor Town of Round Hill

Dear Editor: Civilians have paid a horrific price in the ongoing violence in Gaza. The U.S. has particular responsibility to help end the killing since U.S. weapons are fueling this conflict. The International Committee of the Red Cross has called the blockade collective punishment against a civilian population. U.S. policymakers must call for lifting the blockade to ensure a durable ceasefire. The present violence is only the visible tip of the iceberg of the suffering of the people of Gaza. The blockade restricts access to food, medicine, fuel, and even school supplies. It is unconscionable that the U.S. accepts and condones such actions. Dixiane Hallaj, Purcellville
