Hamilton Councilman Indicted On Election Charges jhunley@leesburgtoday.com

Joseph DelPrete said Friday that the 49-year-old is a suspect in the ongoing investigation of a mid-July 2014 burglary there. The home of John and Karen Gamble was broken into and a laptop computer stolen while the couple was vacationing in Kennebunkport, ME, DelPrete said. The trip was paid for by someone who wanted to remain anonymous, and it came a year after the death of the couple’s son, Jared. So investigators believe that the elder Gambles were lured away Continued on Page 16

Kent Sorenson, who switched his support in the GOP nomination contest from then-Rep. Michele Bachmann to Paul. Sorenson secretly negotiated with Kesari, John M. Tate, of Warrenton, and Jesse R. Benton, of Louisville, KY, to make the move in exchange for more than $70,000, authorities said. Kesari, a former Loudoun County planning

A symbiotic relationship has formed between the breweries (as well as wineries and distilleries) and the eateries on wheels eager to serve hungry patrons.

anda Power Funds ceremonially broke ground Thursday on a natural-gas power plant that will provide electricity for up to 778,000 homes and generate $7.1 billion to the area’s economy in its first 10 years. “This project is about as nice as they come. It’s almost a perfect fit for the community,” Panda Power Funds President and Senior Partner Todd W. Carter said. “Everything about this project from efficiency and clean energy to tax revenue is great. It will infuse a lot of money into the local economy.” The 778-megawatt facility near Leesburg Executive Airport also will create 800 construction jobs and 30 full-time jobs once operations begin in 2017. It was a bit of a stretch to call the Aug. 6 event a groundbreaking—construction has been underway for several months. How-

ginia students on expedited retakes increased pass rates by about four points on each test, according to VDOE. Loudoun’s Director of Instruction Tim Flynn said the retakes played a part, but the large gains among ELL students is attributable to a new teaching model. After many ELL teachers’ assistants were laid off in the face of FY2015 budget cuts, school division leaders instead hired more certified ELL teachers— replacing the assistants at a 2.5-1 ratio—and had those students still learning English spend more time in the classroom with their EnglishContinued on Page 20

oudoun County public school students made significant progress on state-mandated math, reading, history and science exams taken earlier this year, as shown in results released Tuesday announced by the Virginia Department of Education. The pass rate among local students improved or stayed level in all but two of the 28 grade level tests, and pass rates for Loudoun students exceeded state rates in all but one testing area. The only two exams that saw a dip in

the percentage of students who passed were in the eighth-grade writing and an end-ofcourse writing exam, which each dropped by 1 percentage point. The most notable gains were made by students considered English Language Learners, with a 15-point uptick in math and a 16-point gain in reading from 2012-2013 to 2014-2015. The boosted pass rates can be credited in part to a new rule that allowed students in third through eighth grade to retake SOL exams in reading, mathematics, science and history. On average, the performance of Vir-

he community is rallying to help Nick Campbell, a decorated Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office detective who is battling to make ends meet following the unexpected death of his wife on June 18. “My wife, Noelle, was the heart and soul of our family,” Campbell said. “Losing her suddenly has been a devastating blow to us all. She was an amazing wife and mother who lived for her children and family, dedicated herself to caring for our kids.” The two youngest of the three Campbell children, Colin, 5, and Savanah, 19 months, have Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome, a condition that has no cure and causes extreme allergic reactions to food protein.

Loudoun County and the local Fraternal Order of Police are planning a fundraising event, Help Savanah Smile, on Aug. 23 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Parallel Wine Bistro in Ashburn. “It’s a sad reality that a lot of kids have to deal with,” CMNuA Executive Director Kaycee Childress said. “Countless families across the country—hard-working citizens like Nick paying expensive insurance premiums—have insurance coverage denied simply because the life-saving medical formula their children need is given orally rather than administered through an invasive, surgically inserted feeding tube.” All money generated will go to the family to help pay for a special amino acid-based for-

mula that the kids consume to survive, and can cost up to $350 per week. Childress said CMNuA has been working with the family since Noelle’s death to provide resources, but there’s a limit in how much the organization can help each family. “There’s not a lot of places families can go to for help,” Childress said. “That’s why the fundraiser is huge for the family.” Colin’s condition has been improving as he’s gotten older, as it does with many kids, but there are still only five foods he can eat. Savanah cannot consume any food except for the special Continued on Page 20

Mine Safety Administration Beefs Up Enforcement After Quarry Death Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

ollowing the death of an 18-yearold plant operator at Luck Stone’s Ashburn quarry operation last week, the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is stepping up its enforcement and safety education efforts nationwide. Daniel Potter, of Front Royal, was buried by tons of sand and stone dust Aug. 3 when a silo split open. His body was found after an intensive 24-hour search. MSHA is leading the investigation into the incident. Potter was one of three miners who were killed on the job in separate incidents that day, prompting MSHA authorities to put out a call for increased education and enforcement. One miner was engulfed by a stockpile at a North Dakota sand and gravel mine, and another was struck by equipment while working at an underground gold ore operation in Nevada, according to a MSHA press release. “In the past month alone, there have been five fatalities in the metal and nonmetal industry,” Joseph A. Main, MSHA’s assistant secretary of labor, said in a statement. “Not since 2002 have three miners died in a single day in this mining sector. We cannot—we will not—accept this turn of events. We extend our deepest sympathies to the families of the miners who died in these tragic accidents.” Main announced that, beginning this week, the agency would begin beefed-up

inspections with a focus on violations commonly associated with mining deaths, and federal inspectors will emphasize what they call “walk and talks” with miners and operators to provide information on best practices for preventing them. “We will need everyone’s cooperation with these efforts to reverse the trend in mining deaths,” Main said. “Our miners deserve nothing less.” In 2014, there were 29 deaths at metal and nonmetal mines and 15 so far in 2015, according to the MSHA’s press release. “MSHA inspectors will intensify their examination of the types of conditions leading to these deaths and take appropriate enforcement actions,” Main said. According to MSHA reports, Potter was the first Luck Stone worker to be killed on the job at the Ashburn quarry. However, the quarry was cited for two violations and fined $200 earlier this year during an unannounced safety inspection. The first, on Feb. 28, noted rocks were covering part of a 33-inch walkway, putting workers at risk of slipping and falling. The second, on March 2, cited a haul truck operator for not checking the vehicle’s emergency steering and, when asked, did not know how to check it. “This condition exposes miners to fatal crushing injuries resulting from being stuck or run over by this size truck during a loss of control incident…” the notice stated. n

A deputy confronted a man urinating in the parking lot. The suspect threw a beer can at the deputies, who then attempted to take the man, Diego Delao, 19, of Leesburg, into custody. Delao became more combative and a group of partygoers approached the deputies as they worked to restrain him and place him in a cruiser. The deputies were assaulted, and one person tried to pull Delao away from the deputies, the report stated. Delao was charged with two counts of assault on law enforcement, obstruction of justice and underage possession of alcohol.

he Leesburg Police Department is searching for the vandals who drove off with a Paxton Campus golf cart last Wednesday night. Leesburg Police Lt. Jeff Dubé said the cart was found in the woods near the Exeter pond Thursday afternoon. Investigators have processed it for fingerprints in hopes of finding the culprits. Paxton Campus Executive Director Jennifer Lassiter said the golf cart, which was donated to the nonprofit earlier this summer, was used to help adults with disabilities practice driving, to deliver campus mail and to move things around the campus. “It added a whole new dimension of what we could offer,” Lassiter said. “Driving a car is not an option for many, and that builds their driving skills. I hope whoever took it had no idea what we do on campus and didn’t know who they were stealing from.”

The case began Jan. 1, 2014, when deputies were called to the home of Henry Ru Yu to investigate a suicide attempt. Yu was found in his garage with a gunshot wound. In a search of the home, authorities found baggies of white powder, large amounts of pills, corrosive chemicals, weapons, grenades, and what appeared to be an improvised explosive device. The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms were called to assist with the investigation.

Loudoun County Animal Services wants to know whether two pigs that were roaming near Gospond Lane and Hunts End Place in Leesburg belong to anyone. One of the pigs was shot and killed by a Leesburg resident who found it on a private property near Gospond Lane, said Loudoun County Animal Service Chief Mark Stacks. The remaining pig is described as a black-and-white pot-bellied-type pig. It is believed to be a boar and has discernible tusks. One of the pigs has a U-shaped notch in its left ear, but it’s not clear if that’s the one that was killed. Loudoun County Animal Services urges the community to be careful around animals that they do not know and to contact Animal Services at 703-777-0406 or animals@loudoun.gov with any information about the pig.

Deputies were called to the area of the Rt.28/ Sterling Boulevard interchange just after 11 p.m. to investigate a report of an altercation. Several people were in a car headed to Maryland when an argument prompted the driver to pull over. According to the sheriff’s office, the driver, 20-year-old Dylan R. Steiber, of Bethesda, MD, then got into a fight with one of the passengers. Steiber was charged with DUI and, as he was being placed into a cruiser, he resisted arrest and kicked at the deputies, prompting additional charges of two counts of assault on law enforcement and simple assault. A passenger was also determined to be wanted by Maryland authorities. Franco Navarro, 20, of Leesburg, was taken into custody on an extradition warrant.

ASHBURN A HOTSPOT FOR ONLINE FRAUD?

Month!

alifornia-based security technology company ThreatMetrix says Ashburn is a hotspot for online fraud. Ashburn ranked sixth in the company’s recent survey of the nation’s top 25 cities for online fraud. The company analyzed a sample of data across more than 1 billion monthly transactions that were rejected as high risk. The rankings were determined by which proxies (or virtual locations) fraudulent transactions appeared to come from. Not surprisingly, ThreatMetrix’s data also showed that many of the top cities for online fraud happen to be home to hosted data centers. For more information, go to threatmetrix.com.

sible to a larger market from a time standpoint, from a budget standpoint, and certainly playing off the trends and shifts in people seeking out healthier options,” Schulman said. Three childhood friends from Maryland launched the Cava restaurant brand in 2006. The partners, who are all of Greek descent, opened their full service Cava Mezze restaurant in Montgomery County and brought Schulman on in 2009 to help them expand the brand and launch the Cava Grill concept. The Cava Grill chain has been DC-centric so far, but the owners will launch their first West Coast location in Los Angeles this fall. The Ashburn restaurant also has begun hiring its staff, Schulman said. For more information, go to cavagrill. com/locations. n

ava Grill, the popular DC-area fastcasual Mediterranean restaurant chain, will open a location in Ashburn’s Belmont Chase shopping center in September, the company’s CEO Brett Schulman said. The Ashburn location will be the ninth Cava Grill in the Washington metro area. The restaurant, which has developed something close to a cult following, offers fresh, vegetablecentric fare in an assembly-line format. Customers create their own dishes including salads, greens and grains bowls along with grilled meats and other proteins. The chain offers vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly dishes along with heartier fare such as braised lamb. “We’re leveraging the healthy, natural, nutritional profile of Mediterranean food and putting it in this fast format so it’s more acces-

CONTRACTORS “Where Quality Meets Integrity”

L if e s t yle s

rian P. Allman, the Democratic nominee for Loudoun County sheriff, has dropped his lawsuit against a fellow party member— at least, for now. Allman in May filed suit in Loudoun County Circuit Court, alleging that Larry W. Roeder Jr. of South Riding “intentionally, willfully and maliciously” defamed him at a Loudoun Democratic Committee meeting May 7, falsely saying that he had been convicted of a felony. But he appeared in court Aug. 5, representing himself, and a judge agreed to let him pull the lawsuit, which also claimed that Roeder and “numerous” other Democrats, “unnamed co-conspirators,” conducted an email campaign to block him from becoming a member of the local party committee. The move surprised even Roeder’s attorney, Alan Croft, who said Aug. 6 that he didn’t have any advance notice that the proceeding would be about the end of the suit. “None whatsoever,” Croft said. Despite the controversy with his fellow Democrats, Allman still is the party’s nominee for sheriff. He faces incumbent Repub-

lican Mike Chapman and independent Stephen O. Simpson on the Nov. 3 ballot. A former police officer in Manassas and detective in Fairfax, Allman is running at least in part on the idea of transforming the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office into a police department “with the new chief of police being selected from a national search,” according to his campaign website. And in an email Aug. 6, he noted that he could still refile his lawsuit. “Under Virginia law, I have six months to refile on different allegations as well as on the same allegations since the statute of limitations has not expired,” he wrote. Allman has been criticized as someone who is overly litigious. A footnote in a filing from Roeder in the case says that Allman has filed 65 lawsuits in Virginia, with at least 10 of those alleging defamation. Although he is the Democratic nominee for sheriff, Allman was denied membership in the Loudoun County Democratic Committee, and he confirmed Aug. 6 that he’s pursuing an appeal of that committee’s decision through the party’s official process. Allman does not have to be a member of the Loudoun Dems’ committee to be the party’s nominee for elected office. n

Civil War Artifacts On Exhibit Mike Stancik

mstancik@leesburgtoday.com

Educa t io n

or the past 30 years, Hillsboro resident John Creamer has gone to countless construction sites in Leesburg and Purcellville to search for artifacts with his metal C

detector. He’s accumulated dozens of weapons and other Civil War-era items as a result. An exhibit of his collection is on display at Thomas Balch Library in Leesburg through the end of August. “Whenever there was a construction site in Leesburg that was active, I tried to go out there,” Creamer said. “As they were digging with bulldozers, I was looking for stuff.” Creamer said he’s gotten good hauls from certain sites, such as the old Exeter plantation where a Wal-Mart now sits, and construction sites in the Potomac Crossing and River Creek neighborhoods. He said there were a lot of camps, both Union and Confederate, in the Leesburg area. “People who have metal detectors are somewhat archaeologists,” Creamer said. “Had these items not been found or saved, they would have been gone forever 10 feet under the ground.” Items included in Creamer’s collection are exploded shells, artillery pieces, bayonets, buttons, coins, belt buckles and bullets. Some of the exploded artillery shells come from the Costco site along Edwards Ferry Road. There’s also a .31-caliber Colt pocket pistol, a Union rifle that was won from a Confederate soldier by a local merchant in a poker game, and other weapons. Creamer said one of his favorite items is a centennial button that was manufactured during George Washington’s time, and a button recovered from a Louisiana soldier who was fighting in the Battle of Bull Run. “Hopefully, the items will live on for a long, long time,” said Creamer, who has also bought a few artifacts. He takes pride in the fact that he’s been able to salvage so many pieces of history. “There were a lot of troops in Leesburg, and they left a lot behind,” Creamer said. Library associate Stephanie Seal said the large collection has received a lot of atttention o d abecause y of the wide range of items shown. n M

his is a very professional office with a top notch doctor and staff. Although there are qualified doctors closer to where I live, I have been going to Mountcastle for years because of the quality service I receive. I initially went for veins and some procedures were covered by insurance and others considered cosmetic. The doctor and staff explain everything well and with patience. 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

emocrats fared better than Republicans in Loudoun Education Association’s political action committee’s endorsements this election cycle. The PAC of the school-employee advocate group, which represents more than 4,000 Loudoun public school employees, last week released the list of candidates it’s backing for the November election. Members of the association’s PAC spent more than 40 hours interviewing candidates ahead of selecting its slate of endorsements, according to an announcement of LEA’s recommended candidates. Those hopefuls are:

from their residence to facilitate the burglary. “It was not a coincidence,” the chief said. DelPrete described the operation as “wellorchestrated,” and he said the evidence doesn’t suggest a typical burglary in which thieves aim just to collect money or valuables. The person or people involved with the Gamble incident were searching for something specific. Jared Gamble, who was in his mid-20s, worked on Paul’s 2012 campaign and was Kesari’s roommate, DelPrete said. He said that his department has been coordinating with federal authorities and that investigators traveled to Hamilton from Rhode Island but were unable to interview Kesari. “We tried, but he was unavailable at the time,” DelPrete said.

One reason they wanted to talk to Kesari was his whereabouts on July 11-13, 2014. “He was in Rhode Island at the time during that weekend,” the chief said. In Hamilton on Monday night, the Town Council met in closed Dimitri N. Kesari session about Kesari but took no action to discipline him. “We’re staying the course,” Mayor David R. Simpson said after the meeting, noting that his colleague has not been convicted of any crime. Kesari attended the meeting and participated in routine town business, but he declined to comment when approached by a reporter. n

jhunley@leesburgtoday.com oudoun County Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio made a push for a legal defense fund for Dimitri N. Kesari about a month before the Hamilton town councilman was federally

indicted. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) said Friday that he emailed two people July 6 to seek money so that the Defenders of Liberty Legal Defense Foundation could help pay legal bills for Kesari. Rumors had swirled about Kesari being under investigation, but it wasn’t until Aug. 5 that federal authorities announced that he and two other political operatives for the 2012 Ron Paul presidential campaign had been indicted. Kesari, John M. Tate, of Warrenton, and Jesse R. Benton, of Louisville, KY, face charges related to payments authorities say were made to secure an Iowa state senator’s support for Paul. Delgaudio noted in his email, which was posted on targetliberty.com July 19, that allegations about the Paul campaign were made in a story in Mother Jones magazine. He wrote that some federal election violations can be dispatched with a “fine or simple correction.” “But the Obama Justice Department wants Dimitri Kesari in jail,” Delgaudio wrote. So he urged the potential donors to give to help Kesari continue his “good work” for conservatives, and he said that he was donating $5,000 to the cause. “Some people exaggerate their worth and spend all their time puffing themselves up,”

Delgaudio wrote. “Dimitri has not done that all these many decades. He’s not perfect but he is not boastful. “Hopefully he can continue with his work, which is to help conservative leaders and candidates in every state as well as here in Virginia.” Delgaudio wrote that Dimitri was one of several people the Justice Department is targeting “due to their support of anti-NSA or pro-family values presidential and senatorial candidates over the years.” And the supervisor alluded to wellknown allegations that he had misused his own office and county resources. Delgaudio ultimately was not charged with a crime in that matter, and an attempt last year to recall him from office failed. “Take it from someone who, thanks to many of you and your support, has taken some massive abuse and is still standing,” he wrote. Reached by phone, Kesari said he couldn’t comment per a gag order the court instituted in his case. In an interview, though, Delgaudio said he met Kesari in 1992. Back then, Delgaudio needed some logistics help with buses for political campaigns. Delgaudio said he’s not involved with any of the Paul campaign controversy, stressing that he knows Kesari only from the latter’s political and public service work in Loudoun—Kesari has served on the Loudoun Planning Commission and on the Loudoun Water board—and that he just wanted to help a friend. “I know legal bills are expensive,” he said. n

he Leesburg woman who’s become known for her driveway display of arranged flowers is putting out the call for donations. For the past two years, Rachel Roberts has cut flowers from her garden, arranged them in vases or mason jars complete with a decorative ribbon, and set them out in front of her 307 Edwards Ferry Road home for anyone who wanted them.

In exchange, she asks that people donate money or nonperishable food items to Loudoun Interfaith Relief, the county’s largest food pantry. Passers-by will see a moneybox next to the flowers. Last year, she raised $6,046 for the nonprofit. Now, she’s trying to match that before the season ends. Roberts encourages people who take flowers to donate as much as they can afford. They can also make a tax-deducible donation via check, and Loudoun Interfaith

Relief will mail them a receipt, if requested. Roberts, a longtime volunteer at Loudoun Interfaith, was inspired to come up with a creative way to drum up support for the organization when she noticed it was running low on food to give to families in need. “Sometimes there’s no milk to give out or not enough money to buy fresh food,” she said.

“That’s where I hope to come in.” She spends much of her winter scouring thrift shops for vases, and her spring is focused on planting several varieties of flowers. During the warmer months, her kitchen is known to look more like a flower shop, with ribbon, vases and dozens of flowers occupying the counters. “I really love what Loudoun Interfaith does, and I love supporting that,” she said. The business community has joined Roberts in her effort to raise money. South Street Under regularly purchases and displays her arranged flowers, and SpeedPro Imaging NoVa donated professional-looking signs to help her promote her donation campaign. Her flowers can also be purchased for donations at Flow Yoga, in Market Station, and at Eyetopia, 223 Loudoun St. SE in Leesburg. So far this year, Roberts has raised $1,400. She’s confident, with some help from the community, she’ll be able to bring in another few thousand dollars for the organization before the year’s first frost. n

he State Corporation Commission’s hearing examiner agreed last week to postpone public hearings on a controversial power line project in the Dulles area. Dominion Virginia Power has asked the SCC for permission to build a 230 kV power line that would mainly serve a data center near Rt. 50, and public hearings on the work and the company’s proposed route for the line had been scheduled for Aug. 18 and Aug. 25. But the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted last month to suggest alternative routes, and Dominion asked the SCC for more time to study those paths. The SCC approved that request, saying that the public hearings could be rescheduled. The power line, which Dominion has said would serve homes in the Dulles area as well as the data center, 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. However, Dominion’s proposed route would place the infrastructure mainly on the south side of Rt. 50, and that has riled 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 into one of Loudoun’s gateway corridors. So Supervisors Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) and Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) went to work on plotting other routes. And they were pleased with the news that Dominion will have more time to consider the alternatives, sending out email news alerts to constituents Aug. 6. “I feel this delay to re-evaluate the routes is excellent news!” Clarke said in her email. Said Letourneau in his bulletin: “We have by no means won this fight yet—there is still a long way to go—and our challenge is still significant. But, this is another positive development. I appreciate the work of the county attorney and the legal teams that we are coordinating with. Let’s keep up the momentum!” More information about the project can be found at loudoun.gov/powerlines.

The locality began looking at the issue of noise in connection with data centers last year, and that effort has expanded to include an examination of noise limits in general, notes Supervisor Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) in his August newsletter to constituents. Williams, who initiated the data center examination, pointed out that the proposed revisions would change the location from where sound is measured and adjust the permitted maximum sound levels. Upon receiving a noise complaint, the county now measures sound levels at the property line of the emitter. But that would change to the property line of the complainant to get a better idea of how the sound is received. Maximum sound levels would change in residential, commercial and industrial areas, as well. For example, current regulations call for noise in residential areas to be no louder than 55 to 60 dBA, depending on whether the sound is continuous or intermittent. That equates to a bit louder than trees rustling in a light wind to not quite as loud as a normal conversation, according to a scale provided by Loudoun’s noise consultant, Hessler Associates Inc. The new rules would range from 45 to 60 dBA, depending on the type of residential setting: mixed-use, suburban or non-suburban. The county held two community-outreach meetings on the noise standards last week and will hold another Thursday, Aug. 20, at the Dulles South Multipurpose Center, 24950 Riding Center Drive in South Riding. That meeting will be from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

speaking peers. “We’re now at or above the state average in this area, and these changes played a big part,” Flynn said. “The ELL kids are in every school in Loudoun, so their gains have significantly helped Loudoun’s scores overall.” Another notable jump among Loudoun students from 2013-2014 to 2014-2015 was in sixth-grade math, which saw a hefty 12-point increase, from 72 percent to 84 percent of students passing. Nine percent of those students earned the “passed advanced” ranking, 3 percent higher than the previous year. Eighth-grade students also made progress in math, with 61 percent of students passing as opposed to 55 percent. That pass rate still lags behind the state average eighthgrade math pass rate of 74. But many of the abilities of the county’s brightest eighth-grade students are not reflected in the grade-level math test, according to Loudoun’s Department of Instruction. About 81 percent of eighth-graders take the more challenging algebra I and geometry courses, and therefore take the algebra I and geometry SOL tests. Still, Flynn said that eighth-grade math is an area the school system wants to target. “That’s an area we’re looking to improve,” he said. This is the second year Loudoun’s Standards of Learning scores have seen modest gains since the state math tests were made more rigorous in 2011, requiring more students to demonstrate critical thinking skills and the ability to solve multi-step problems. Statewide, students posted five-point overall gains in reading and mathematics, while achievement increased by two points each in writing, science and history. Virginia’s Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven R. Staples, in a press release announcing the scores, commended educators and students for adapting to the more rigorous standards. He said the option for students to retake the exams offers a “more complete picture of the performance of schools in preparing students to meet the commonwealth’s high expectations for learning and achievement.” See how individual schools fared on the SOL exams on the newspaper’s website at leesburgtoday.com/education. n

formula, and Campbell is working to find a child care center for her so he can go back to work. Childress hopes that area residents will support the Campbell family through a silent auction, and Parallel will generate a percentage of its profits during that time to the Campbells. “Loudoun is one of the richest counties in the U.S., and we have a detective that’s wondering how to get money to ensure his child gets to live,” Childress said. “He would do everything for his family.” CMNuA provides assistance and advocacy for patients who require medical nutrition, and the Campbells were the first family included in its emergency relief efforts. About 0.1 percent of the population suffers from the syndrome they battle. Campbell said he can’t “express enough gratitude” to CMNuA and others who have rallied for emotional and financial support. The organization hopes to bring to attention to the fact that many insurance companies pay for an invasive procedure involving feeding tubes but won’t pay for the oral treatment that is less invasive and less expensive.

Leesburg Native Poised To Help Next Generation’s College-Bound Aaron McAndrew

For Ashburn Today

hen Sabrey Garling was a student at Heritage High School and the time came for her to apply to colleges, she felt like she was on her own. “I basically had no help,” she said. “Thankfully, I was able to do the whole process on my own even though it was difficult.” Garling, now 22, wants to help high school students who need help navigating the college application process. A recent graduate of the University of Virginia, Garling has been chosen to be a part of the Virginia College Advising Corps. Headed up by UVA and Americorps, the university-based program sends recent college graduates to high schools throughout the state to work as college advisors. “There are so many students out there who need our help with this process. We need to be the help for these students,” the Leesburg-native said.

Garling, and other recent graduates in the program, will spend two years working as high school advisors, doing everything from speaking to students about potential collegie opportunities to assisting them with essays and applications to higher education institutions. Before the start of the school year, Garling underwent a month of training. This month, she officially began her role at Fluvanna County High School in Palmyra, 25 miles southeast of Charlotte Court House. “We’ll be doing a lot,” Garling said about her new job. “We’ll be speaking with juniors and seniors one-on-one, organizing college fairs, and speaking to them on National Decision Day, a day dedicated to inspiring students to pursue higher education.” The Virginia College Advising Corps typically focuses on schools with a high percentage of students who come from lowincome families or who live in rural areas. “The Virginia College Advising Corps has achieved an impressive record over the last several years increasing the share of lower-income, first-generation students that

successfully enroll in college,” Ben Castleman, assistant professor of education and public policy at the Curry School of Education, stated in a press release about the program. “The gains in enrollment at the high schools served by the Advising Corps are a testament to the dedication and skill of the advisers, and highlight the importance of this advising model for reducing long-standing inequalities in college access and success.” From 2008 to 2013, the high schools that were assigned Advising Corps participants saw, on average, a 9.9 percent increase in their college enrollment rates. “This is an exceptional increase, and amounts to thousands of Virginians going on to post-secondary education who wouldn’t have without the support and assistance of a College Adviser,” Joy Pugh, who directs the program, stated. Garling has a bachelor’s degree in English, and plans to eventually pursue a career in teaching. But for now, she said she’s eager to get started as an advisor. “I think this will be a great opportunity for me,” she said. n

Deadline Approaches For LCPS Challenge Submissions

he deadline for companies and individuals to submit their solutions for Loudoun County Public Schools’ most difficult-to-solve challenges is Aug. 21. Innovators 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. Those with the top 20 submissions will present their ideas to an audience and panel of judges at the Loudoun County

Public Schools Challenge, to be held Oct. 22 from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne. The deadline for students to submit ideas is Sept. 18. Details on how to submit an application form can be found at isc-connect.org/lcps-public/application-instructions. Ken Spedden, founder of Innovative Solutions Consortium, also announced this week that Gov. Terry McAuliffe and Federal Communications Commission Chief Information Officer David A. Bray would serve as the keynote speakers during the Oct. 22 event.

School districts across the nation are facing some of the same challenges, and Loudoun County Public Schools is hoping to find solutions through the collaboration event to implement as pilot programs that pave the way for the other districts. “I encourage the students and members of the public to think outside the box and develop new approaches to data analysis, social media and instructional methods,” McAuliffe said in a statement. “This technology challenge will empower students like never before and give them an important step in pursuit of wonderful and successful careers.” n

Auto collision instructor David Williams said he was surprised when he was contacted by the Collision Repair Education Foundation about the donation. “The foundation surprised us out of the blue about this,” he said. “Within a couple weeks, we have already started receiving some of the tools, which is fantastic for our students. To stay current with industry standards, we need donations like this to offer the best realworld training we can to these high school kids.” Caliber Collision, formerly known as Craftsman Auto Body, also played a part in the school receiving the tool grant. “Craftsman has proven to be one of our biggest supporters over the years,” said Williams.

oxcroft School will present a public screening of “Most Likely to Succeed,” a documentary on education in the 21st century, at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 19 at the Middleburg Community Center. “I saw ‘Most Likely to Succeed’ last February and it struck me as a powerful conversation starter for our teachers to imagine how we can best prepare our students for their futures,” Foxcroft Head of School Catherine S. McGehee said in a statement. She’s invited area school leaders to bring their faculties to the screening. “The more people engaged in the discussion the better the ideas will be. That’s why it’s so important to share this event with the entire community.” View the film’s trailer at mltsfilm.org.

ichael Jacobson has practically a standing appointment each week. The 27-yearold, along with his wife and friends, drive from their homes in Arlington to Loudoun County, where they hang out at one of the growing number of wineries, distilleries and breweries. “We come out here every weekend,” Jacobson, who works for U.S. Travel Association, said, standing in view of an expansive overlook at Stone Tower Winery near Leesburg. “You don’t get this in Arlington.” That’s music to the ears of the two dozen people who gathered around a long table in Stone Tower’s fermentation room Aug. 6. Representatives in the county’s wine, beer, distillery, history and hospitality industries brainstormed with elected representatives and Mark Treadaway, from the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, on how to build on the momentum of Loudoun’s tourism industry to draw visitors from not just around the region but from around the world. Loudoun has a lot going for it, those at the round table discussion agreed: historical destinations, spas, golf courses, shops, and of course a plethora of locally crafted alcohol at its wineries, breweries and distilleries. But they agreed that making it easy for

dam Harrell, the director of the Elite Performance Golf Academy in Leesburg, has seen the photo. It’s one of a 5-year-old boy in tube socks—with a cut-down driver in his hands—smiling broadly at the thrill of the feat he had just pulled off. “It was the first time he cleared the pond on No. 18 here,” Harrell said from his covered hitting station at Westpark Golf Club where he now teaches. “He had just hit his driver over the water for the first time ever.” It wouldn’t be until years after this image was snapped that Harrell’s and the boy’s paths would cross. But as if by fate, the two eventually did get together and form a bond. A few similarities between the two may even have aided the relationship. Harrell, now an accomplished PGA teaching professional, was introduced to golf by his parents when he was just 4 years old. As a youngster growing up in Roanoke, he played a variety of sports including basketball, baseball, soccer and golf. The boy, Maclain Huge (pronounced Hew-ghee), also started golf as a 4-year old growing up in Lovettsville. Because of his size, he would go on to excel in at many high school sports—football, track, soccer, basketball, lacrosse and golf. Turns out, both teacher and student would eventually shed those other interests and concentrate on golf, for the good of each. Harrell went on to become one of the top golfers in the history of George Mason University. Huge, as of this summer the Virginia State Amateur champion, will co-captain the Virginia Tech golf team as a senior this fall.

Huge, as a member at Loudoun Golf and Country Club, captured the 102nd Virginia State Golf Association Amateur Championship in Charlottesville in July. The prestigious title was the highlight of his career thus far. “His game’s maturing,” Harrell said. “He’s a late developer—an early developer in terms of his physical gifts—but coming into his own as a player. A win like that should spur him on to big things. I think he’s ready to take that next leap and I look forward to seeing how he progresses and how far he can take this.” As if part of a script for a golf movie, Huge must have seen golf on the television as a toddler because one day out of the blue he asked his father (a former Marine Corps drill instructor at Parris Island, SC) if he could give the game a try. “He had a club cut down for me by one of his co-workers and then he and I would go out and hit around our sheep pasture (on their working Lovettsville farm),” Huge said. “And then from there it would grow.” After working for a while with an instructor who would at one point leave the business, Huge put golf on the back burner. “I was sort of in limbo,” Huge said. “It wasn’t until I was at a driving range [at the 1757 Golf Club] and Adam approached me that he became my friend/teacher/mentor. Adam and I have been together for a while now and it has been great. He has helped me excel from a good regional player to a strong national/college and world amateur player.” According to Harrell, Huge’s stature (he was a 6-foot-2-inch tall high school freshman at Middleburg Academy at the time) helped make him noticeable.

Quick Hits • Bruce McBarnette, 57, of Sterling, won the gold medal at the USA Track and Field Masters Championship in the high jump for men over 55 at Hodges Stadium at the University of North Florida on July 24. He also took second place in the triple jump at the same competition two days later. It was his

the postseason,” said Huge, who was the 2009, 2010 and 2012 VISAA Division II champion while in high school. “I feel like this is a little justification of the work that I have been putting in. You hear it a lot when people say they win, they want to keep winning. I would have to agree with them.” With the local tandem working hard at it, there’s a strong possibility in that. “What a great talent, great person, great kid, great family,” Harrell said. “At the end of the day, you are just trying to make him more refined for later on—give him a chance to develop and be the best at the highest level. That’s the goal. That’s always been the goal.” n

and his length off the clubface is certainly a key ingredient in his recent success. “I’ve been around, obviously, some tremendous hitters,” Harrell said. “I guess [the difference is] the way he hits it. It’s a docile kind of energy. It’s not a violent eruption of energy. He just has this good rhythm. When you play with him all the time you think, that’s just not fair.” But golf is not a game of fairness. “There are very few guys I play with that hit it like that,” Harrell said. “Even really good players. He’s prodigious. His ball just comes off fast, like many of the great players in the game today. You see him in person. He’s 6-6 in spikes. But as you will appreciate in golf, there’s a lot of

“He was very much a self-starter, very dedicated to the game,” Harrell, who also became Huge’s high school coach, said. “He just needed more direction. You could tell right away by his physical ability that at the very least this kid could hit the golf ball. It doesn’t take a trained golf pro to know that something’s going on here. … He can hit it pretty far.” These days, Huge stands 6 feet 5 inches

other facets that you can improve upon and get better and better with—which I think is the next frontier for him.” According to Huge, Harrell helped turn him from a mechanical player and into a golfer who knows more about how to play the game. This should help him immensely as tries to build on his Virginia Amateur win. “I really hope to continue to ride the momentum and carry that into my final season as a Hokie and help lead my team to success in

Food Trucks Are Rolling in Loudoun

Tarek Kipry takes orders from the window of the Cured food truck.

arek Kipry and Jeremy Thrasher were young chefs at Leesburg’s highly rated The Wine Kitchen, a couple of 20-somethings looking to break out on their own. The answer came in the form of a repossessed food truck the guys found online. In June, Cured got rolling and has been making a splash at area breweries and Purcellville’s Saturday morning community market. Visit a Loudoun brewery or winery on a weekend and you’re very likely to find a food truck parked on site. Offering everything from laid-back barbecue to gourmet fare, food trucks are increasingly popular in Loudoun and are creating symbiotic relationships with their hosts. The arrangements give food truck operators a captive audience and allow brewers and winemakers to make food available to guests without getting bogged down in the complexities of running a kitchen. On a recent Friday evening Kipry, 24, and Thrasher, 29, were serving up their signature crispy chicken confit, gourmet cheese fries and more at Old 690 Brewing Company outside Hillsboro—and getting rave reviews from the brewery’s customers. Kipry was inspired in part by Jon Favreau’s 2014 movie, “Chef,” about a chef who opens a food truck after losing his

high-end restaurant job. He said the truck was the perfect opportunity to start his own venture while keeping capital costs low. “We put in so many hours working in kitchens that after a while you get tired of doing it for someone else. [The food truck] was kind of an ongoing joke for a while, and then we started taking it a little more seriously when the movie “Chef” came out. It inspired us a little bit,” Kipry said. This winter, the partners searched online and found a bargain on a truck in Boston. They bought it sight unseen but had to wait a few months for the previous owners to dig it out from 5 to 6 feet of snow. Once the spring thaw allowed them to take possession, the two chefs gutted the truck and put in their own equipment, finally getting rolling at the end of June. Cured focuses on fresh, high-end comfort food, using local ingredients and oldschool techniques like smoking and pickling. For now, the chefs do all of the prep and cooking in the truck, and with limited space, they buy fresh ingredients regularly. “Right now we’re kind of going day to day [with sourcing],” Kipry said. “At the beginning of the week, I go to Great Country Farms and other farmers and see what they have, and we base our menu on that. We never know exactly what we want to do. Our menu changes pretty much every day.” Thrasher generally drives the truck with Kipry following in his pickup, and there’s a sense of fun and adventure to the operation. “For us it was just having the freedom to cook whatever we wanted. The fun of it is not

really knowing what we’re going to get next week and then coming up with the menu— and the response we’re getting from people, too,” Kipry said. “When somebody comes up to you after they eat your food and just have a big smile on their face, it makes it for you.” On the beverage producers’ side, the trucks make sense because they allow brewers and winemakers to do what they do best while still giving great food options to customers. “It’s always good to have food when you’re drinking anything,” Old 690 co-owner Mark Powell said. “We’re not a restaurant. We don’t want to be a restaurant, and I think that’s pretty much the appeal. The food trucks work really well.” That sentiment was echoed by Graham Burns, co-owner of Old Ox Brewery in Ashburn, who said giving beer drinkers easy access too good food allows them to stay longer and

drink safely. Old Ox hosts a wide range of food trucks and tries to have one parked on site most days. “We found out early that if we didn’t have a food offering, people would have a beer and then say it’s time for lunch or dinner and leave,” Burns said. “[Food trucks] give us the ability to offer food to customers without having to go through the extra regulatory and management layers that having a kitchen requires. We didn’t get into business to serve food.” Leesburg-based restaurateur Rick Allison launched his food truck just a few months after opening Pittsburgh Rick’s in downtown Leesburg last year. The truck is a regular at both Old Ox and Old 690, as well as larger venues like Prince William County’s Jiffy Lube Live concert venue. For Allison, who was also inspired by

Ashburn Today/Jan Mercker

Gourmet cheese fries and a cheese plate were popular selections at the Cured food truck’s recent stop at Old 690 Brewing Co.

the movie “Chef,” the food truck is another way to reach customers, and having access to a full service kitchen makes it easier to serve crowds. “It’s a different ballgame. We’re fortunate because we have a restaurant that we can get everything out of,” he said. “Most food trucks have to prep on the truck every day. For us, it’s easier to have a brick and mortar [location].” Like many food truck operators, Allison uses Twitter and the Food Truck Fiesta app to post his truck’s location daily. For longtime Round Hill-based caterer and restaurateur Joan Wolford, owner of Savoir Fare catering, the food truck concept is a little different. Wolford recently bought a former Good Humor truck from an ice cream vendor in Fauquier County and uses it to help take her catering show on the road. For Wolford, who closed her sit-down restaurant last winter to focus on her catering operation, the C’est Bon food truck is a new outlet for serving catering customers. “This is something that I have been dreaming about for two or three years for something fun and different to do,” Wolford said. “I don’t

call it a food truck. I call it a rolling bistro.” Wolford will focus on group contracts rather than individual sales, but the truck allows her to add a new twist to catering. For an upcoming wedding party, she plans to serve late-night cheeseburgers from the truck and roll up to the wedding party’s hotel the next morning with coffee and beignets for out-of-town guests. While most Loudoun wineries offer limited food and encourage picnics, food trucks are also making inroads among the vines. At Purcellville’s North Gate Vineyard, food trucks are usually invited in conjunction with special events, according to North Gates Events Director Chris Miller. Father’s Day featured an oyster truck from the Chesapeake Bay, and the winery often brings in food trucks for its monthly wine club pickups. “For our customers it’s really nice because it gives people another food option other than just the typical wine and cheese,” said Miller, who likes wine-friendly cuisine from trucks like McLean-based Saffron Gourmet and Harper’s Ferry’s Sprouted Spoon. “We also try to work with food trucks that are going to complement our wines. … We want to make it an all-around great culinary wine tasting experience for all of our guests.” n

MADE IN LOUDOUN

Today, you may know our county as a wine-tasting and Internet capital. But how did Loudoun’s earlier residents make their living? The same land that Amazon and Netflix use to stream movies to your smartphone once served as the bread- basket of the commonwealth. Loudoun’s rail service historically was called upon to move milk into the city, offering a sharp contrast to the role of the coming Silver Line. The 2015 Guide To Loudoun will trace the evolution of industry over the county’s 258year history. This annual guide also includes facts and figures about Loudoun County, making it a handy year-round reference for readers.

A private family memorial will be held at a later date. Contributions in his name can be made to Adventure Cycling or Planned Parenthood. Fred was carrying a business card he gave to people he met along his ride, which included a Dylan Thomas quote that was an apt reflection of his spirit. “Do not go gentle into that good night/Old age should burn and rave at close of day/Rage, rage against the dying of the light.” His smile and that spirit will be so very missed by his family and friends.

Broken System

n some quarters, the rapid rise of Donald Trump to the top of the presidential polls is being misinterpreted as an irritating diversion from the real issues and real players in the race for the White House. That is a convenient narrative promoted by those at the root of the problem—the faltering of America’s two-party system of politics. Over the course of the next 11 months, Republican and Democratic candidates will continue to pander to the extremes that control their party’s selection process. Then we can look forward to the surviving nominees trying to convince voters they share the more moderate views held by the majority they need to win over. It’s a tiresome game that has grown only more so as control of the parties has moved to the fringes. Trump is not the only candidate to refuse to pander to the unions, the tea party or other perceived powerhouse voting blocs, but—because of his billions and his celebrity—he’s the only one getting attention. Others who refuse to play the well-orchestrated game are quickly tossed to the sidelines by their party’s political players promoting their own narrow interests. The real estate mogul has scored points with his flamboyant style-over-substance approach, but many candidates with more thoroughly vetted positions have scant chance of gaining such widespread attention for them. The lesson to be learned here is that voters are hungry for an energetic, innovative and independent leader. Some are seeing those qualities in Trump. Others see bombast and buffoonery, or worse. In reality, he stands as a straw man for the type of candidate who could break though the partisan gamesmanship and offer voters a fresh choice when they, finally, head to the polls. The current system isn’t set up to provide that alternative, but instead perpetuates the gridlocked government that serves the two political parties far better than it serves the people they claim to represent.

LETTERS to the editor Next Step?

Dear Editor: ike many Leesburg residents who feel invested in our town’s future, I was relieved to see the Leesburg Town Council overturn the Board of Architectural Review’s decision about the expansion of the Loudoun Courts complex. However, this conflict between the council and the BAR mirrors ongoing conflicts residents of the historic district have with the BAR with one exception: We have few options but to accept the BAR’s sometimes baffling decisions, despite the time and money they cost us personally. By opposing the proposed expansion and risking the removal of the government offices from downtown, the BAR is giving the

impression that it would rather Leesburg was a historic “ghost town” than a thriving “Old Town.” Historic preservation at all costs—including driving out the residents and business that enable Leesburg’s history to continue. There has to be a balance between historic preservation, and livability. My neighbors and I feel that the BAR is failing at maintaining that balance. By overturning the BAR’s decision, members of the council have shown that they are aware of the BAR’s imbalance, and are willing to take steps to correct that balance in some instances. What steps will the council take right now to address the BAR’s lack of balance for the rest of historic Leesburg’s residents? We, the homeowners and business owners of historic Leesburg,

“I don’t think Leesburg should have agreed to Loudoun County’s demands to let them move/destroy historic homes to build this Cour t expansion. Maybe I’m simply getting old, but I’m tiring of attitudes like the County’s, where just like a spoiled brat, they cry *Do it or I’m going to take my ball and go home*. I’m also not sure spending $2 million dollars to buy land and move 4 houses is the right idea either. I don’t know the history of these 4 houses, but are they wor th the $2 million or more to make this move? If we’re to spend that kind of money, I’d like to see Selma Manor rescued, which is rotting away on a hill off of Rt 15. It’s been on Preservation Virginia’s Most Endangered Historic Sites list since 2009.”

Dear Editor: While I’m sure many Loudoun taxpayers are entertained and energized by seeing people march around wearing blue T-shirts, and carrying signs, that shout “Fully Fund Our Schools,” I believe your newspaper could help add more substance to the school funding debate, especially now with the new school board election approaching. The Loudoun County school system receives 69 cents of every tax dollar, with 57 cents for operating expenses and 12 cents for capital improvements and debt service, and I believe you could take steps to help more Loudoun taxpayers fully understand just what results are produced with the funds that they currently provide to the schools. My suggestion is to ask each school board candidate to answer a few questions—in writing. Then, all you’d need to do is copy and paste their answers, side by side on your website, so that taxpayers can read and comment about the answers. Here are some questions to consider asking the school board candidates: 1. Is there a correlation between funding levels

and students’ academic achievement? 2. Are students being educated or indoctrinated? 3. Are students taught a real or distorted view of American history? 4. Are parents allowed input regarding teachers, curriculum, and textbooks? I formulated these questions based on the following excerpts from the “On Education” chapter (Chapter 5) of author Mark Levin’s latest book which is titled “Plunder and Deceit: Big Government’s Exploitation of Young People and the Future”: 1. “…the immense investment of tax dollars in a vast government-run educational infrastructure is buying young people a poor education. The data demonstrates there is no overall correlation between the dramatic spending increases in public education during the last several decades and academic achievement.” 2. “…undergirding the rising generation’s ethos in this regard is the relentless indoctrination and radicalization of younger people, on a daily basis and over the course of many years, from kindergarten through twelfth grade to higher education in colleges and universities.” 3. “In addition to the problem of teacher competency there is the malignancy of statist-driven political conformity, ideological indoctrination, social engineering, and academic experimentation that have suffused public schools with such agendas as multiculturism, global warming, and the distortion of American history, among other things.” 4. “Even the most diligent parents have little effective input into what their children are taught in these classrooms. Indeed, they have no adequate or routine influence in the selection of teachers and professors, curriculum, or textbooks, which principally advance, either openly or through insinuation, a statist agenda and ideological groupthink hostile to the civil society and the American heritage.” Thank you for considering my suggestion. Mike Panchura, Sterling

ever, it was well-timed, coming just days after President Barack Obama announced a new clean energy plan designed to more aggressively reduce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Panda representatives said the Loudoun plant is already leading the way for that initiative. The $800 million project, constructed by Bechtel, will generate its power from two turbines built by Siemens Energy Inc. that are similar to a jet engine. One turbine will convert natural gas to energy much as a plane would, and the second turbine will recycle the heat generated from the first turbine to produce 50 percent more energy. “They were way ahead of the president and the field here in terms of getting private enterprises to work with local officials to produce clean energy,” Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA-10) said. “New sources of energy are always needed. We need to let our best talent go to work for us and produce great projects like this.” Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring (D), who lives in Leesburg, said he was excited that his hometown is diversifying its energy sources by creating a clean power plant with low carbon emissions. “Loudoun is a leader on transportation and technology, but now we’re breaking ground in the energy sector,” he said. “Since this is Loudoun, not just any energy project would do. We wanted cleaner energy, we wanted an economic driver and we wanted the most advanced tech-

experience the pains of this imbalance regularly as we seek to make these historic structures our homes and workplaces. Unlike the council, however, we are not free to overturn the BAR’s rulings, and are subject to their decisions that cost us time, money, and the use of our property. Now that the council has officially recognized this imbalance, what are the plans for addressing it? I encourage the council to use this opportunity to review the BAR’s scope of authority, the lack of comprehensive term limits for BAR members, the choice of individuals selected to hold board positions, and the costly, difficult and invasive review process for residents.

nology, and we got it.” Bechtel Senior Vice President and General Manager Walker Kimball pointed out that the power plant would use reclaimed waste water purchased from the Town of Leesburg to cool the plant, and that the project is a win for all parties involved. “There’s nothing objectionable about clean power,” Kimball said. “And we want to have no-excuses execution in developing a topof-the-line facility.” Bechtel has worked with Siemens Power and Panda Power on three similar projects in Texas, and Barry Nicholls, U.S. lead for Siemens’ Power and Gas Division, said the company is proud to supply “our most advanced turbines for this modern combined-cycle power plant, which will utilize clean-burning, low-cost natural gas to benefit citizens across the region.” Officials also said that Panda Power has been a great partner in terms of helping the community. County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said that he asked Panda Power if it would donate $10,000 toward the building of an inclusive playground, which is designed to accommodate special needs children, at Discovery Elementary. Instead, Panda Power decided to donate the remaining $110,000 that was needed to complete the project. “Panda hadn’t even broken ground but invested in the community,” York said. “It’s been declared that we are one of the happiest communities in the U.S., so it is with happiness today that I say congratulations to Panda Power Funds. I look forward to the ribbon-cutting.” n

state agency charged with guiding public officials about Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act says the Prince William Board of Supervisors acted improperly when members retreated into closed session in June to talk about raising board members’ salaries. The state FOIA Advisory Council issued its formal opinion Aug. 6, at the request of Prince William Today and InsideNoVa.com, which first reported the topic of the closed meeting. The opinion, signed by Maria J.K. Everett, executive director of the advisory council, said the board’s June 16 closed-session salary discussion was “devoid of personnel considerations” because the board was discussing salary increases generally and not specific employees or individual board members. Therefore, she said, it is “not a proper topic for a closed meeting under the personnel exemption” of the state’s Freedom of Information Act. As the legal basis for her opinion, Everett cited a 1982 Virginia attorney general’s opinion about a closed session the Fairfax County School Board held to discuss an administrative restructuring that led to the elimination of a deputy superintendent’s position. In that instance, the Fairfax board was correct to discuss the topic in private, the opinion said, because the matter affected a specific employee. But the opinion, issued by then-Attorney General Gerald Baliles, goes on to explain that more general policy discussions “devoid of personnel considerations” are not covered by the personnel exemption of the FOIA law. And

that’s where Everett found what she called “an informative analogy” for the situation faced by the Prince William supervisors in June. “In this instance, as you have described it, the Board met to discuss salary increases generally that would not take effect until after the next election, not to discuss individual members of the Board,” Everett wrote. None of the supervisors interviewed disputed that the closed session was held to discuss the salary-increase proposal. The plan, which was never brought up for a vote in public session, would have raised supervisors’ annual salaries from $43,422 to $53,795 and the chairman’s salary from $49,452 to $58,032, increases of 24 percent and 17 percent, respectively. Under state law, supervisors cannot raise their own salaries but during an election year can raise salaries for members who will take office the next January. All board seats are up for election in November. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors has held similar talks, but those debates were held in open session. Ultimately, the Loudoun board opted not to increase compensation for supervisors who will take office next January. The Virginia Freedom of Information Advisory Council is a state-funded agency charged by law to “provide opinions about the application and interpretation of Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act,” according to its website. Everett’s opinion about the Prince William case is the first that directly addresses whether it is appropriate for an elected body to discuss members’ pay in closed session. The opinion will be added to the agency’s online library, where it can be accessed by the public and other elected boards for future reference. n
