“Y
ay!” a student yelled as he barreled off a bus Tuesday morning and into the new Cardinal Ridge Elementary School. “We have a new school.” There was a lot to celebrate in Loudoun County Tuesday, from new schools and new students to new leadership. The school district welcomed a record 73,233 students—up by 2,375 over last year’s enrollment— and opened three new schools, to bring the county-wide count up to 87. “Are you excited for a new school year and a new school” Cardinal Ridge Principal Ricardy Anderson asked the 900 elementary school students who crowded into the gymnasium before 8 a.m. Tuesday. “Your teachers and I are so excited that you’re here.” Ryan Hodge-Ellison, a second-grader at Cardinal Ridge Elementary, was quick to point out how he was get

County football and lacrosse player with helmet impact sensors, and Inova’s Neuroscience Research program offered to track data obtained from the sensors to determine if the devices are useful in combating head trauma. The sensors light up when an athlete takes a hard hit, indicating he or she should be checked for a concussion. Loudoun County Public Schools declined the offer, stating concerns that the Virginia High School League and the National Operating Committee on Standards for Athletic Equipment, which sets the impact standards for football helmets, had not certified Brain Sentry’s sensors. McGrath did not speak publically in support of the sensors, but he did not discourage parents in the booster club from purchasing 40 sensors for

oudoun Valley Vikings football players will take the field Friday for their first game of the season without their head coach of seven years. Danny McGrath was abruptly fired last week. McGrath’s position as football coach was terminated just before 4 p.m. last Friday after a meeting with Principal Sue Ross. A termination letter obtained by Leesburg Today and signed by Ross does not give a reason for McGrath’s firing, but states that he will receive the full amount of his coaching stipend. The termination does not affect his teaching position at Loudoun Valley, where he
is a physical education instructor. Most parents of football players believe the coach’s firing was retaliation for speaking up during the past year about the high number of injuries Loudoun Valley football players endure because they are pitted against much larger schools. He actively pushed for a scheduling change so Loudoun Valley, one of the smallest schools in the county, would play schools closer to its size. School administrators did not change the schedule, arguing that the size difference between the Vikings and their opponents was not that great and noted the team went on to win eight of its 10 regular season games. Last spring, Bethesda, MD-based company Brain Sentry offered to outfit every Loudoun
the players to use. Loudoun Valley Assistant Principal Bill Oblas stopped a practice Aug. 8, minutes after the sensors were introduced. He told the coaches that players wearing the sensors on their helmets would not be allowed to continue to practice, according to teachers and parents who stood on the sidelines. So the sensors were peeled off and have not been used since. Athletic Director Kris Kelican and Principal Ross sent a letter to parents notifying them students were not permitted to use the helmet sensors. Dee Howard, whose son is a member of the team, described McGrath as “a coach that is all about safety.” When her son first joined the team, Continued on Page 47

McLean-based Haystax Technology that brings information from social media, newsfeeds, calls for service and witnesses’ accounts together on one screen. “We’ve seen this explosion of data, and this gives you the ability to handle that and present it to your commander in an easy way,” Anthony Beverina, president of the company, said. ALTA PIX Inc. displayed how its air balloons can be dispatched to capture aerial photos, for example, during a flood to inform emergency personnel what roads are underwater or where traffic is backed up. Start-up Text2Them Inc. won the challenge’s Most Disruptive Award for its product that would allow every county department, including 911 dispatchers, to accept, respond to and track text messages from the public in emergency or non-emergency situations. President and CEO Alvin T. Butler Sr. noted that text messaging surpassed phone calls in 2008, yet most companies and organizations still cannot accept text messages. “Texting is very discreet and also you can send pictures and video, which you can’t do by voice,” he said. Lt. Charles Manning with Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, who sat on the six-person judges panel called the idea a game-changer.

Loudoun County’s public safety issues. “This really is the first of its kind,” Steve Hargan, Loudoun County Economic Development Department’s interim business development officer, said. “This allows taxpayers the advantage of ideas and innovations that are out there—and many of them are right here in our community.” The four-hour event, dubbed the Loudoun County Challenge, was put on by the EDC, the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce and Innovative Solutions Consortium, which specializes in these sorts of tech-sharing challenges but typically for large government agencies or industry heavyweights like Microsoft. “My dream has always been to bring something like this to Loudoun County, my community,” said Ken Spedden, founder of Innovative Solutions Consortium who lives in Leesburg. He spread the word about the challenge and invited companies to bring their creative solutions on how to improve safety in Loudoun, while saving money and time. And they responded to the call. Companies from as far away as Florida to right here in Loudoun attended the challenge last Wednesday to not only present how their products could help the county but also teamed up to show how their innovations can work together.

High School Hit With ‘Swatting’ Bomb Threat
Leesburg Police responded to a bomb threat at Loudoun County High School last Wednesday afternoon that was believed to be a hoax. Multiple units were dispatched to the scene, but the department determined the bomb threat to be a “swatting incident.” “Swatting is the tricking of any emergency service agency into dispatching multiple emergency response units based on the false report of an on-going critical incident,” the police statement said. “Many times, these types of false calls for service involve multiple resources from different agencies potentially tying up valuable resources for undetermined amounts of time while the incident is investigated and ultimately cleared.” Roads around Loudoun County High School, including Catoctin Circle and Dry Mill Road, were closed for about half an hour during the incident. Lt. Jeff Dubé said he could not say who made the bomb threat or how it was communicated because the information is part of the ongoing investigation.
Jury Hands Down Rape Conviction
A two-day trial last month ended with a Loudoun Circuit Court jury finding Geovanni
Amilcar Benitez-Giron, 38, guilty of rape. According to evidence in the case, BenitezGiron and his family shared an apartment with the victim and her family for approximately two weeks in September 2013. In the early morning hours of Sept. 24, Benitez-Giron entered the victim’s bedroom, locked the door behind him, climbed into bed with the victim and raped her. The victim immediately began to scream, waking other family members in the room. Benitez-Giron attempted to flee the residence, but other household members restrained him until deputies arrived. During the trial, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Gigi Lawless called nine witnesses, including the victim, first responders, a DNA expert and a sexual assault nurse examiner. Additionally, she played for the jury the emotional 911 call made by the victim to the sheriff’s office on the night of the incident. The jury deliberated for approximately one hour before returning the guilty verdict and then recommended a sentence of 15 years in prison. He also will be required to register as a sex offender. Final sentencing is scheduled for Dec. 15. “This was an extremely sensitive and emotional case for everyone involved,” Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman stated. “We applaud the resilience and the courage of the victim and her family in assisting us see that the defendant was held accountable for this horrific act.” n

According to reports, Foust was describing to supporters his efforts to create jobs in the private sector in contrast to Comstock’s work experience, much of which has been in politics. She currently represents the 34th District in the Virginia House of Delegates. “In her mind that means giving tax benefits to special interests and the super wealthy.

Ashburn Rising reported. Foust got a chance to defend his statement during his Aug. 27 visit to Ashby Ponds in Ashburn. He called it a poor choice of words that were taken out of context. “I was speaking to the fact that I served on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and as chairman of the Fairfax Economic Advisory Commission and have experience in investing in transportation and education—all these things that create jobs,” Foust said. “I was pivoting to compare my opponent’s—what I call hyper partisan—job experience in Washington.” During a stop in Loudoun Monday, Comstock told Leesburg Today that Foust’s comment was not only offensive to women but also “an all-out lie.” She pointed to her diverse work experience, from working at a movie theater in high school to later waitressing, babysitting and working as a sales clerk. Her résumé also includes work as a senior partner at Blank

Rome and as founding partner of public policy and public relations firms Corallo Comstock and Comstock Strategies. The job she’s brought up most on the campaign trail is her work as a senior aide for retiring Congressman Frank Wolf, whom she and Foust are in a heated battle to replace. The 10th District has consistently backed Wolf, a Republican, since 1981 but Democrats see the veteran congressman’s retirement as a chance to win back the seat. Foust sounded confident that voters will turn out to support him. “The enthusiasm is on our side.” He described himself as the kind of Democrat the 10th District wants to support. He didn’t go as far to call himself a moderate, but said he’s “a fiscal conservative with an independent streak.” The 10th District includes all of Clarke, Frederick, Loudoun and Warren counties and the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Winchester, as well as portions of Fairfax, Fauquier and Prince William counties. n

I am pleased that we in Virginia have taken this important step to help prevent others from becoming victims of notario fraud.” n

tate Sen. Jennifer Wexton (D-33) joined Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) in Arlington last Wednesday for the signing of bills aimed at curbing the growing problem of notaries who practice law without a license. The bills, SB503 and HB492, are intended to dissuade non-attorney notaries from preying upon Latinos and other minority communities. They prohibit notaries who are not also attorneys or federally accredited immigration representatives from offering legal and immigration advice, and additionally impose civil penalties and provide for the revocation of notary licenses to those who defy this restriction.

he Ashburn Farmers’ Market has relocated from its longtime location at the corner of Ashburn Village Boulevard and Farmwell Road to One Loudoun on Rt. 7 and Loudoun County Parkway. The Loudoun Valley HomeGrown Markets Cooperative and One Loudoun Holdings, LLC will hold a grand opening of the One Loudoun Farmers’ Market from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday in the parking lot of The Club at One Loudoun, at 44605 Russell Branch Parkway. In a statement, LVHMC Board of Directors President Warren Howell said the group has enjoyed its current location for many years. “Now it is time to reach out to more folks in Ashburn, and we look forward to offering a more diverse range of fresh products to both current and new customers at One Loudoun.” The market features more than a dozen vendors selling a variety of products, including fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, eggs, artisan baked goods, honey, baby food, jellies and sauces. Glutenfree options for some products also are available. LVHMC vendors are producers only, meaning they must either grow or produce all the products they sale. They also must operate within a 125-mile radius of Leesburg. Welcoming the arrival of the LVHMC market to the community, Managing Director of One Loudoun Bill May stated, “We look forward to the local food offerings and know the market will be a great place for neighbors to gather.” The market will open from 8 a.m. to noon every Saturday during September and October and then reopen next May for a full summer season.

There are also kid-sized pizzas and larger sizes for big groups or big appetites. The pizzas are made using fresh ingredients— nothing from a bag or can— and the dough, pizza sauce and salad dressing are made from scratch using in-house recipes, Chris Wadsworth said. “People in Loudoun County care about the quality of their food, so I thought this restaurant was a good fit.” Regarding the huge crowd that showed up at the restaurant last weekend, Wadsworth admitted he was pleasantly surprised. “You plan and plan, but you never know if anyone is going to show up. It’s very rewarding to see all these people.” Ashburn Today/Danielle Nadler The store is located at Cooks at Uncle Maddio’s Pizza Joint rushed to keep up with orders 22000 Dulles Retail Plaza, Saturday as the eatery celebrated its grand opening. near the Rt. 28/Waxpool Road interchange.

Epicurience In Review: ‘It Went Really, Really Well’ Margaret Morton & Danielle Nadler
O
rganizers of Saturday’s Epicurience Virginia at Morven Park are delighted with the second rendition of the showcase of Loudoun food and wines. Visit Loudoun CEO and President Beth Erickson said she was particularly pleased by the turnout. “It went really, really well,” she said. Her staff was busy Tuesday totaling final attendance figures, which rose from last year’s 1,200 visitors to just shy of 2,100—a 75 percent rise. The event flowed well, Erickson said, noting the Morven Park venue looked spectacular, forming a perfect setting for winery and food purveyors, chefs’ demonstrations and educational programs, with the focal point being the Grand Tasting Tent. The chefs’ demonstrations went well and
the Loudoun Wineries Association pavilion featuring the wine-blending contest was standing room only, Erickson said, noting it provided a “great way to have attendees connect with the wine-making experience and the winemakers.” Tammie Thompson from Indiana won the wine-blending contest and the opportunity to work with local winemakers to come up with a delicious blend, which will be uncorked at the 2015 Epicurience. Another big hit Saturday was what Erickson called “the tremendous butchering” demonstration by Andrew Crush of Spring House Farm and custom butcher Marc Pauvert. “People were craning 10-deep to see it,” Erickson said. A smiling Crush said after the butchering that he loves to introduce people to all that local farms have to offer. “We’re battling bulldozers everyday, trying to keep them from turning farmland into developments.

Erickson cited visitors from Richmond, Charlottesville, Williamsburg, and Pennsylvania, among others. The regional flavor extended to food and wine purveyors, of whom the fried chicken outfit from Gordonsville was a big hit, she said. All exhibitor slots were filled, and purveyors reported very good sales.

Coverage Report Cites Need For New Tower Regs
A
year-long study of cellular service coverage in Loudoun has resulted in recommendations for regulatory changes to lower barriers for the construction of new telecommunications towers and options for publicprivate partnerships to fill in gaps. County supervisors were scheduled to be briefed on the report Wednesday. The Atlantic Group conducted the study of wireless broadband availability around Loudoun and worked with the county’s Communication Commission to develop recommendations for addressing service shortfalls. The board initiated the study in October 2012. The report pointed out that few new cell towers—five monopoles and two stealth towers made to look like trees—have been approved in Loudoun since 2007. To provide full cellular service coverage, 14-28 additional towers would be needed, at a cost of $5 million to $10 million. To provide wireless broadband coverage, 36 120-foot towers or 59 80-foot towers would be needed at a cost of $3.6 million to $5 million. Proposals to construct new towers almost always brings out opposition from nearby residents. To overcome that obstacle, the report recommends changes to the county’s planning and zoning policies to make approvals less onerous for providers. Proposals include allowing towers 80 feet tall or lower as by-right uses in some zoning districts and providing

Loudoun County Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary M. Clemens wants to be sure residents check their mailboxes for jury questionnaires, which began arriving last week. At about this time every year, the Clerk’s Office sends out questionnaires that help determine who is eligible to fulfill jury service. This process enables the clerk to establish a qualified pool of jurors who may be summoned to serve jury duty in the following calendar year. While recipients of the questionnaire have two options for completing it, Clemens requests citizens to use the website address provided to complete the questionnaire at www.loudoun. gov/jury. The other way to respond is to complete the paper questionnaire by hand and return it by mail. “The online completion of the questionnaire saves the jury office time and money because it allows us to use our technologies to more efficiently and effectively capture critical information for the juror qualification process,” Clemens said. Anyone who experiences difficulty using the website may contact the jury management department at 703-777-0677, and a jury office representative will provide assistance.

otorcyclists from around the region, and as far away as Texas, will participate in Saturday’s inaugural Healing Heroes Ride in Bluemont to raise funds and support for the Boulder Crest Retreat for Military and Veteran Wellness. The event marks the one-year anniversary of the opening of the nation’s first private rural retreat for wounded U.S. military, veterans and their families. The retreat has served more than 600 people during its first 12 months of operations. “We are thrilled with the level of support and participation from our area’s motorcycle clubs, riders and other organizations taking part in our first Healing Heroes Ride to raise funds and awareness for Boulder Crest Retreat,” Jack Causa, chairman for the Healing Heroes Ride and former board member of Boulder Crest Retreat, stated. The Healing Heroes Ride is a 100-mile, “high-stakes” poker run with the first prize being two first-class airline tickets donated by American Airlines to anywhere in the lower 48 states. The ride has two starting locations in Virginia, at Patriot Harley-Davidson, the sponsoring organization, in Fairfax and VFW Post 9760 in Berryville.

compassionate care given to kids and their families by staff members from physicians on down, but also by a need to help young patients better understand their treatment and to be less afraid. In late 2012, Chambers launched “Tell Me Town” and the Beamer book series. She began writing—stories from Tell Me Town—using the hospital’s real life doctors, nurses and other professionals as cartoon characters who teach the children and their families about important health, safety and medical issues. The first book in the Beamer series, “Beamer Visits The Emergency Room,” starred Puccio, who, not unsurprisingly, becomes Tell Me Town’s beloved “Dr. Poochio.” Since then more books have been released, and several more are planned by year’s end, dealing with scary illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, stroke and other topics, with lots of area medical and other professionals in starring roles as comforting and reassuring presences. The Tell Me Town Foundation is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit and the Beamer Book series is now read worldwide. Building on that success, Chambers organized the donation of iPads for every pediatric emergency bed at the Lansdowne campus of ILH, and for all beds at the Cornwall campus. The indefatigable Chambers is not through yet. The hospital has just been informed a donation of Beamer pajamas for kids to wear in cases of emergency is on the way from the Tell Me Town Foundation. The iPads also will be available in the waiting area of the Pediatric Emergency Department at Lansdowne. Through her charitable work, Chambers has brought hundreds of thousands of dollars to the hospital foundation. She has made numerous personal donations in support of various other initiatives, including Breast Care, the expansion of the Cornwall Campus and the INLH Rehabilitation Center. n

One Year Later, Salamander Resort Established As Economic Anchor
mmorton@leesburgtoday.com
rom all accounts, Salamander Resort & Spa has had a strong economic impact on the Middleburg community, the county and the state during its first year of operation, which was celebrated last weekend with an anniversary bash. “From our point of view, the resort has exceeded our expectations in many ways,” Salamander Hotels President Prem Devadas said in a interview. Pointing to owner and company founder Sheila Johnson, Devadas said “even Sheila was surprised,” noting the experienced businesswoman had not expected the level of business achieved during the resort’s first year, or the quality of guests and corporate groups it has been able to attract from around the U.S. and abroad. He said the Middleburg resort’s success has had a significant impact on the parent company, Salamander Hotels and Resorts, which took over management of two new projects this year, with several more in the pipeline. As a private company Salamander Hotels and Resorts does not publish its finances, but Devadas said the resort’s impact certainly has contributed to increased activity in Middleburg—on the street, its restaurants and shops. Guests frequent those locations as well as area wineries. “We have got great feedback from town retailers,” he said. As the resort continues to ramp up occupancy—from its first year’s tally of 50,000, Devadas predicted the second year would produce even higher numbers, especially during the winter months, which bodes well for the town. Bookings are about 60 percent corporate.
“We’ve been able to attract some great groups,” he said, many that typically would have gone to other regions and resorts. Those bookings and the first-year occupancy rate has led to the growth of a more-than-400 employee base, a mix of full-time and part-time workers—90 percent of whom are from the Middleburg area. One coup for Salamander was in attracting automotive car launches by Acura and Volkswagon, which had never before had those events in this area. Devadas said the resort is perfect for the companies’ purpose in inviting top automotive writers from all over the world to come and spend a night or two and assess the new models. USA Today published a report several weeks ago about the new Acura with a photograph of the car against the background of the Salamander barn. And Middleburg itself is one Salamander Resort & Spa welcomed more than 50,000 guests of the main reasons for guests’ fall- resort celebrated its one-year anniversary last weekend. ing in love with the resort, Devadas said, noting many visitors either a lot—it’s definitely helping our citizens and busitake an early morning walk into town, some take nesses,” she said. runs, some lunch, dine or shop in town.

is showing the benefits of income from increased meals and lodgings taxes. “Basically people come to enjoy it—and the bottom line is they’re spending money, which they are—it’s great for everyone,” the mayor said. Middleburg Economic Development Coordinator Cindy Pearson echoed the mayor’s comments. “Without a doubt it’s helping the town economy. It has made an impact, there are more people in town all week long, and some retailers say their sales are up.” Usually, July and August are quiet in town, when most of the schools are closed—now it’s much more active, she said. “It’s a learning curve for both of us—we’re not normally known as a resort town,” Pearson said, noting it’s important for businesses to let the concierge at Salamander know what they have to offer and for Salamander staff to do the same from their end. “It’s a good partnership,” she said. Robin Cavanagh, co-owner of Duchessa women’s apparel store, has no doubts about the resort’s impact. “It’s sensational. It’s been instantaneous since they opened the door, and they’ve brought lots of lovely new people from abroad and the DC market, as well as a great influx from Richmond. It’s all different, that makes it fun,” she said. Tom Taylor at the town’s popular and decidedly different Wylie Wagg pet store also reports good visitation from conference attendees and those enjoying a weekend stay. And the eateries also benefit. Shannon Eckert, a staff member at Middleburg Common Grounds, said the popular coffee shop gets a lot of guests—“early risers, who come out to see the town, have breakfast, coffee, then come back later for light fare and happy hour. They love the area,” she said. And if the assessment of a front desk man-

Loudoun Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tony Howard can attest to that. The impact on Loudoun is widespread, he said. “It establishes the county’s reputation on the national and international scene, because of the excellence of Sheila [Johnson’s] company and that of Salamander itself,” he said. Specifically, the resort has brought “tremendous press and media coverage, literally from around the world, and established Loudoun County as a great place to visit and relax, as well as to live and work here,” he said. Visit Loudoun President and CEO Beth Erickson agreed. As the only luxury resort to open in the country in 2013, Salamander Resort & Spa helps define Loudoun as a must-visit destination, she said. “With its focus on culinary, luxury and spa services, Salamander helps Visit Loudoun position the county to both leisure travelers as well as meeting and incentive-trip planners.” For Salamander, the goal is to constantly strive for improvement to achieve a pinnacle of perfection and build its reputation as one of the finest destination resorts in the country. “We recognize we have to work hard every day in order to reach that goal—month by month we have made great strides, and this coming year we will continue to make big leaps in terms of experience for our guests,” Devadas said, noting the pinnacle is the Forbes Five Star and Triple A 5-diamond rating. “We are not perfect; we have to continuously improve and work hard to be the best.” n

Waterford Foundation Has New Executive Director Margaret Morton

mmorton@leesburgtoday.com
om Kuehhas has taken over leadership of the Waterford Foundation, Loudoun’s oldest preservation organization. He comes to the nonprofit with a wealth of experience in development, historic preservation and educational programming, according to foundation leaders. Kuehhas (pronounced kee-hass) joined the organization last week, hired after an extensive search that began in March and included the review of 63 applications. He replaces Ken Rosenfeld, who resigned after two years to take another position. “We had some phenomenal, really outstanding applicants,� from as far away as New England and California,� Search Committee Chairwoman Margaret Bocek said. The panel whittled down the initial list to 15, then 10, candidates, who were interviewed by phone.
The final short list of five received in-person interviews. The search, while long, gave the committee a deeper understanding of the qualities and qualifications the nonprofit requires to efficiently address the future needs of “the membership, its mission and staff,� Bocek said. In focusing on the questions, “Where are we going and what characteristics do we need,� Kuehhas emerged as the committee’s top choice, Bocek said. She cited his preservation experience, development skills, strong educational programming and leadership abilities, as well as his public relations experience. His energy and enthusiasm also impressed the group. Kuehhas’ strong background in Oyster Bay, NY, where he headed the Oyster Bay Historical Society, was a factor for the search committee. “It was somewhat similar to Waterford,� Bocek said, noting the society was another grassroots organization that had its ups and downs over the
years. It was Kuehhas’ success in Oyster Bay that struck the committee. He produced a number of innovative educational and fundraising programs, publications and events. “Programming was one of his strengths,� Bocek noted. In Oyster Bay, Kuehhas’ efforts in obtaining grants from private foundations and donors as well as state and local governments—resulted in a successful $1.5 million capital campaign for a new research and collections center. His historic preservation experience also was significant, in that Kuehhas was directly responsible for the restoration of a number of historic buildings while executive director of the Montgomery County Historical Society, which he led most recently. In Oyster Bay, he chaired its preservation group, which provided advice, assistance and support to the efforts of those struggling with the restoration of homes and businesses—of interest to those with long

memories in Waterford where such programs once were in existence. Waterford Foundation President Jim Gosses is pleased with the foundation’s new executive director. Citing Kuehhas’ enthusiasm, Gosses said “He jumped right into it,� of his arrival last Tuesday. “I’m excited; he brings a professional and longtime financial experience. He will support our goals of historic preservation and education.� For Kuehhas, the opportunity to lead the nonprofit is a dream of some years. When moving to Herndon about four years ago, he and his wife were heading north to Frederick, MD, when they passed the turn to Stumptown Road. The name caught their attention and they detoured to the small village, of which Kuehhas immediately became enamored. “I thought then, if ever that job came up ...,� he said this week. The community is invited to meet Kuehass during a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13 in the Corner Store in Waterford. n

proposing is an area we can improve upon. It’s in a good price point, it’s easy to implement and it’s forward thinking.� TRX Systems won the competition’s Most Innovative Award for its device that tracks people indoors when GPS is unavailable. Loudoun County Fire and Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Johnson, who also served as a judge on the panel, said the company’s product combined with company Location Based GPS’ devices that monitor a person’s vital signs in real time would help save time and lives in emergency situations where firefighters can’t communicate when they are in a burning building. “One of our biggest challenges is locating personnel in emergency situations,� he said. “With this, if a firefighter goes down we can get them oxygen and get them out safely.� Other companies that competed in the Loudoun County Challenge were: Elbit Systems of America, Falcon Logic, GXM Consulting LLC, Skyline Software Systems Inc., TerraFly Inc, YaData Inc. and elearning Joe LLC. Now that some great ideas have been aired, the next step is to work within the county’s procurement rules to try to put some of those ideas into action, Hargan said. “We’re not going to just let all these ideas die. Now we need to see what it will take to bring them online.� Scott K. York, chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, seemed to want to continue the conversation with the groups that presented. He expressed thanks to the companies that were willing to use Loudoun as a platform to share their innovations. “I can’t think of anything more important than to come together and provide an opportunity to help create a safer environment,� he said. “If we use the advantages we have today with technology, we certainly can improve the quality of life for everybody.� The next challenge Hargan and Spedden want to host is for Loudoun County Public Schools. They are putting the call out to companies now for improvements to education and school safety, and they hope to host an event within the next three to four months. n

Loudoun orthodontist wants to deliver her services to the place her patients spend most their time—the middle schools. But a school district policy may keep her from doing so. Walk into Dr. Kelly Morgan’s Lansdowne office and you’ll see almost every chair occupied by a middle-schooler waiting to have retainers fit or braces adjusted. The majority of Morgan’s 600 patients are middle school students, and most miss class time to make it to appointments. Braces require appointments every six weeks for two years. “That becomes quite a lot of missed school,” Morgan said. “So I started thinking about how to make it easier on them and their parents.” Last year she approached the principals at three Ashburn middle schools—Belmont Ridge, Trailside and Harper Park—to get their input on a mobile orthodontist clinic that she would park in the school parking lots and see patients for 15 minutes during study hall. “The principals absolutely loved the idea,” she said.

oudoun County students’ scores ticked up slightly on state-mandated math and reading exams taken earlier this year, results released this week by the Virginia Department of Education show. The pass rate among local students improved or stayed level in 21 of the 34 grade level tests, and the pass rates dropped by just a few percentage points on most of those remaining 13 tests. Local students saw the biggest improvement in reading/writing and math; passing rates were up in every reading/writing exam except

one end-of-course writing exam, and more students passed six of the nine math exams, as compared with the 2012-13 school year. This is the first 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. The online mathematics SOL tests, taken by Virginia students since 2011-2012 require students to apply criticalthinking skills as well as knowledge of mathematics to solve multistep problems. The most notable jump was in eighthgrade math, where 55 percent of students who took the exam passed compared with 39 percent last year. Still, eighth-grade math is the one

area that Loudoun lags behind the state average of 67 percent. But the 55 percent does not reflect the abilities of some of the county’s brightest eighthgrade students, according to Loudoun school system’s Department of Instruction. About 80 percent of eighth-graders take the more challenging Algebra I and Geometry courses, and therefore take the Algebra I and Geometry Standards of Learning tests instead of the eighth grade-level mathematics test. Math was the standout subject area for elementary students; pass rates were up by as much as five percentage points in third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade. That trend mirrored the achievements of students statewide, as Virginia’s overall pass rate in math was at a threeteacher and coach and is entering NOVA this fall.

In January, she received signed letters from two school principals stating they got the needed approval from Loudoun’s director of middle school and the school district’s Risk Management Office. “I am happy to inform you that the Morgan Orthodontics Mobile Unit has been approved,” a letter from one school principal said. So in February Morgan set her idea in motion. She bought a retrofitted 26-foot RV as a mobile orthodontist office, began advertising the new services to patients and got signed permission forms from 240 parents to treat their students at school. She was set to begin the new service at the start of this school year, with a plan to park her mobile clinic in the school lots one day every six weeks. But in May she was informed by school district administration that her proposal would need School Board approval. Morgan and Katherine Stethem, president of Belmont Ridge Middle School’s PTO, presented their idea to School Board members during the public comment portion of the Aug. 12 meeting. “When Dr. Morgan first came to us with this idea, there was a collective gasp in the room,” Stethem told board members. “I’ve never

tive for Educational Technologies. The award honors colleges, universities and organizations that are implementing creative, technology-based solutions to challenges in higher education. The college received the award for its innovative OER-Based Associate Degree Project, a comprehensive approach to education that addresses access, affordability and student success through the use of open educational resources. Launched in fall 2013, the project emphasizes the use of open educational resources, which are freely accessible, openly licensed documents and media instead of traditional textbooks. Roughly 25 courses are part of the project. “It is great for NOVA to be recognized by a national organization for the work that we are doing to promote the adoption and use of Open Educational Resources at the college,” said William Preston Davis, the college’s director of instructional services. “The hard work that ELI faculty and staff have put into creating course options using free digital resources instead of textbooks will help many more students reach their educational goals at a substantially lower cost.” NVCC is one of five colleges to receive a WOW award. The other recipients are Capella University, Colorado Technical University, Excelsior College and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. n

heard of this before, but I can tell you this, if it’s possible it would be beneficial for students and teachers.” Following that meeting, School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said a lot would need to be considered before allowing something like this at the schools, including how to do it without excluding other businesses. “This would be a for-profit entity on school property to deliver services for a profit,” Hornberger said. “We’re liable if they’re on the property, so all of that would need to be considered.” And, the thing that might stop the mobile clinic before it gets rolling is the board’s Policy 6-27 on access to school facilities for non-school purposes. The policy clearly states: “No school facility will be used for commercial or personal gain.” Speaking to that policy, Deputy Superintendent Ned Waterhouse said, “Use of school property really is aimed at not-for-profit kinds of things.” Morgan said she’s not asking for exclusivity, and sees the mobile clinic as a chance to save as much as 3,000 hours of instruction among the students at the three middle schools. “This isn’t about my business. Any other practice could offer the same thing. This helps students, teachers and parents. It’s a win-win for everybody.” Lisa Thomas, who has two middle schoolaged sons in braces, called Morgan’s idea “ingenious.” When it’s time to have her sons’ braces adjusted, Thomas first works to schedule the appointments around the boys’ difficult classes, and then she and her husband work out who can pick up and drop them off between their work schedules. “This would be a huge help, both for parents, students and teachers… because when they miss a class like math the teacher works with them to catch them up,” she said. Her son Zachariah Thomas, an eighthgrader at Belmont Ridge Middle School, said it would be great to walk out of the school doors straight to the orthodontist’s chair. “That’d be so much easier.” Waterhouse did say that Morgan’s attorney has contacted the school system’s attorney, so he could not comment specifically on the situation. Morgan said she does not plan to take the school system to court. “That’s not what we want to do at all. I’m going to the board to try to get permission that way.” n C

Karafa Adjusting To New Role Ben Trittipoe

ast season, Tanner Karafa spent much of the year as a defensive end for the Stone Bridge football team. As the Bulldogs moved into the postseason, however, Karafa’s role began to change. In Stone Bridge’s first Group 5A playoff game against Robert E. Lee (Springfield), Karafa moved from a hand-down defensive end to a stand-up outside linebacker position and came off the edge to rush the passer and disrupt running plays. Then, when the Bulldogs met local rival Broad Run—losers of three straight “Battle of the ‘Burn” contests to Stone Bridge, including a 33-14 result last September—in the second round, he moved around more to take advantage of his athleticism. “Against Broad Run, I knew I was going to play linebacker, so they put me more in the middle,” Karafa said. “I had more of a role as a pass-coverage kind of guy.” The game was not a good one for the Bulldogs as they fell to Broad Run, 23-21, to end their season, but it was a good one for Karafa. Recruiters from Boston College were
encouraged with what they saw of him as a linebacker and have since offered Karafa a scholarship to the Atlantic Coast Conference institution. “[Boston College] was recruiting me as an athlete and wanted me to play as a ‘mike’ [middle] linebacker,” Karafa said. “They got me up for a visit this spring and I worked out for them for a few hours. They liked what they saw, so they decided linebacker was a good fit for me. “The main reason I chose Boston College was the combination of the academics— the business school, which is what I want to study—and the high-level, BCS [Bowl Championship Series] football,” Karafa added. “I had never been to Boston before. I knew about it, but had never been there. The visit was what did it for me.” As Stone Bridge prepares for its season-opening game at Lake Braddock Friday, Karafa continues to learn his “new” position. The 6-foot-3, 245-pounder will play as the “Adjuster,” where he will move around the field to adjust to what the Bulldogs want to do on defense against specific opponents, and he’s excited about the opportunity to potentially impact the game in new ways.
Stone Bridge senior linebacker Tanner Karafa has committed to Boston College.
“I like the ability to blitz off the edge while also having some influence in the passing coverage,” Karafa said of his new position. “I have more field influence than at defensive

more comfortable.” “He played very little [at linebacker] last year, so he’s still converting and getting the feel for it,” Stone Bridge head coach Mickey Thompson said of Karafa. “[Boston College] saw that. They feel he can be one of the best linebackers in the country. He’s the whole package—a unique individual.” While playing linebacker will be Karafa’s focus, he also will be expected to aid the Stone Bridge offense. A tight end last season, Karafa had four receptions for 77 yards and two of his catches went for touchdowns. He is expected to line up as a wingback or H-back in the Bulldogs’ spread offense, while he’ll play tight end in single-wing formations. “I enjoy playing offense,” Karafa said. “It doesn’t come as naturally to me, but I enjoy blocking down and stuff. I’m good at it, so it’s fun.” “He has a defensive mind, but we’re going to need him to contribute both ways,” Thompson said. “Our team is not as deep as it has been in the past, so a lot of the older players have to help carry the load. We have some other players who can play at tight end, so that will help let him concentrate more at linebacker while still helping us on offense.” As Stone Bridge seeks its 13th consecutive postseason appearance, Karafa acknowledged the Bulldogs must commit as a team to be successful. And they have a goal in mind. “There is not going to be much room for injury, especially on the line,” Karafa said. “We’re pretty thin in terms of depth on the line. So everyone has to make sure they’re healthy and doing the right thing, and everything is going to have to work out perfectly. “We definitely left with a bad taste in our mouth last season,” Karafa added regarding the loss to Broad Run. “There’s a chip on our shoulder. We don’t want to have that same taste at the end of this season.” n

s Zumba just not cutting it any more? Maybe roller derby is more your speed. Since its launch in 2012, Loudounbased NOVA Roller Derby has been pulling in women (and a few men) from around the region and from all walks of life looking to get some exercise and make social connections. League President Julia Bergeman, a Loudoun mother of two, is a member of the in-house Vineyard Vixens team and also the league’s coed travel team, the Supernovas, made up of top players. Bergeman, who was recently named to Leesburg Today’s “40 Under 40” list of up-andcoming community and business leaders, is also a coordinator and booster for the league. The league’s home season began last month and continues with a double-header bout slated for Sept. 13 in Sterling. The league’s four all-women home teams—the Backwoods Rollers, the Beltway Betties, the Metro Misfits and the Vineyard Vixens—practice together but compete against each other in home bouts. The league, whose motto is “Skate Hard. Give Back,” is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and collects donations for a range of area charities at each bout. Its members are parents and professionals
Bergeman said that NOVA Roller Derby is a far cry from the stereotypical, badly scripted bouts of the ’70s and ’80s. It’s a full contact sport, she added, but it’s played by strict rules and is entirely family friendly. The league includes players of all shapes, sizes and experience levels and is a member of Modern Athletic Derby Endeavor (MADE) and follows that organization’s rules. Bergeman, who lives near Leesburg with her family, grew up in Herndon and moved to Loudoun after graduating from James Madison University. She is married to her high school sweetheart and works part time as human resources director for a defense contractor in Fairfax. Her teammate and league treasurer Jill Etheredge (aka Jill House Rocks) nominated Bergeman for Leesburg Today’s 2014 “40 Under 40” class in honor of her efforts in support of the league and longstanding work with community organizations. Bergeman and other award recipients were honored during a ceremony last month.
“I was so excited to be named because it gave the league so much exposure,” she said. “People are reading about us and maybe they’ll take that chance to come out and try out and do Essential Skills [the league’s preliminary training program] or maybe they’ll bring the family to a bout.” Bergeman said her husband Tom and children Sydney, 6, and Cole, 4, are her biggest supporters. “One of my favorite things about roller derby is that it’s so family oriented. Our skaters are mothers, daughters, sisters. There’s a lot of family support,” she said. “My kids think it’s awesome that their mommy can get out there and be a strong, independent woman and be competitive and take hits and get up and keep trying. They see me fail on a regular basis. Roller derby’s not an easy sport. I think that lends itself well to life lessons.” The operation is almost entirely run by volunteers, Bergeman said, with bouts staffed Continued on Page 31
(mostly women) from across the region and range in age from early 20s to mid-50s. Bergeman, 36, a human resources director and a former competitive gymnast, found out about the league in its very earliest stages through her moms’ group in 2011. She wasn’t initially convinced that it would be a good fit, but attended an informational meeting and was quickly hooked. “This was very much outside my comfort zone,” she said. “I had never really skated outside of childhood roller skating birthday parties.” Bergeman’s derby name, Mary Lou Wreck’em (in honor of famous ’80s Olympic medalist Mary Lou Retton) is a takeoff on her gymnastics background, as is her number 10.0 (derby Ashburn Today/Jan Mercker players get to pick their NOVA Roller Derby’s September bout takes place Saturday, Sept. 13 at Michael and Sons Sportsplex in Sterling.

by husbands, family members and friends doing security, running the sound system and helping coach. Players and spectators’ children contribute to the fun and energetic atmosphere at every bout, she said. But while the league is family oriented, it’s also a chance for women to get out of the house, a break from the stresses of work and family life. The annual league trip to a roller derby conference in Providence, RI, is always a welcome girls’ trip, Bergeman said. The aspects of stress relief and bonding are a huge draw, players agreed. The women you skate with are often your friends, but it’s OK to feel good about giving them a hit while following the rules. Karen Sandreczki, 34, of Sterling (aka Zsa Zsa Doom) is a math teacher at the Northern Virginia Community College and an avid knitter who discovered the league through a friend in her needlework group. Another early recruit to the league, she was encouraged to join by her husband as an outlet for stress. For Sandreczki, who plays for the Backwoods Rollers, derby and knitting play a kind of yin and yang role in her life. “With knitting there’s a meditative space where you sit there and do the same thing over and over again. I get that sense of calm immediately,” she said. “Where on the track, if I’ve had a stressful day at work, I come here and I start hitting people. I exercise like crazy for two hours. It gets those endorphins up and then I come home happy.” Many players join the league with little or no experience, Bergeman said. Unless a player has skated with another team, she is required to start out with the league’s Essential Skills program. Players must also get required equipment including helmets, mouth guards, and elbow, wrist and kneepads. Some skaters also opt to wear padded shorts to protect tailbones from falls. Special quad skates (no inline skates allowed), running between $100 and $500, also are required. Once a player has passed a skills assessment, she is eligible to be drafted for one of the four home teams, which involves participation in both whole league and individual team practices. As players’ develop their skills, some become eligible for the Supernovas travel team, which plays other teams across the region from New York to southern Virginia. Skilled players will also soon be able to take things up another notch. NOVA Roller Derby is evolving as it moves into its fourth year, and some seasoned players are ready to move on to tougher competitions. The current structure will remain in place, with the training program and intra-league play staying the same. In addition, a new women’s travel team playing by Women’s Flat Track Derby (WFTDA) rules
will be added to provide a competitive step up for stronger players. Tryouts for that team will take place after the current season is over in November. The league is also looking to establish a men’s travel team for next year. The league’s philanthropic component is a big part of the appeal for Bergeman and her fellow skaters. Bergeman’s first volunteer role with the league was running its charitable activities. At each bout, the league collects donations for a local nonprofit. Over the past three years, the league has worked with a range of wellknown charitable organizations in Loudoun. At the September bout, the league will be collecting puzzles for the Aurora School, which serves special needs students at Leesburg’s Paxton Campus. “We wanted to be an institution in the community, to show people how roller derby is different now,” Bergeman said. “We’re not what you think we are. We’re mothers, we’re sisters, we’re nurses, we’re graphic artists, we’re communicators, we’re directors of human resources, we have professional jobs and we do this for fun, but we also want to give back to our communities.” n

Community Collaboration
E
vents such as last week’s Loudoun County Challenge demonstrate the powerful problem-solving resources that are available right in our own backyard. It also showcased the willingness of local companies
and innovators to contribute their time and expertise to solve community problems.
Last week’s program focused on public safety agencies
and resulted in creative suggestions that could help save lives and improve response by emergency crews. It was work that likely would have taken years to develop through the conventional method of government consultant studies. Hopefully, that work will continue and the organizers will be permitted to put their disruptive innovation efforts to work in the school system, as well.
This type of expertise can be found in very few juris-
dictions around the nation. To have individuals from some of the nation’s most innovative enterprises willing to tackle the challenges that affect their neighbors and their local government is a tremendous resource. While the work initially can benefit local taxpayers, the resulting solutions can be exported to help other communities—providing new business opportunities for Loudoun’s companies.
This is exactly the type of collaborative community
service that the county’s government and business leaders should promote at every opportunity.

Letters to the editor Back-Room Selections Dear Editor: I would like to voice my concern over the judicial election process in Virginia and especially how the candidates are selected in the 20th Circuit, which includes Loudoun. I have recently contacted the Loudoun Bar Association and was told that the bar neither accepts nor solicits any public input concerning a candidate. The public is in the dark and is kept in the dark intentionally. It is not a very democratic process and needs to be changed. One can only look at the issues with Sen. Phillip Puckett and his resignation. Through backroom dealings he resigned, allegedly to allow his daughter to be confirmed as a judge. I do not think it prudent for the citizens to allow the local bar and the legislators to hijack the process. Any process that isn’t open can be abused and normally will be abused. The

citizens or the media should not sit idly by and allow the appointment of judges to continue in this manner. The citizens, at this point, have no idea of any candidate’s background or their legal acumen. Virginia’s process of selecting a judge is archaic and does not belong in a democracy. Gentry Nalley, Ashburn
Need Closure Dear Editor: It’s now been almost half a year since we’ve heard anything from the Loudoun Hounds--and I wonder when Mr. Farren is finally going to do the decent thing and acknowledge that the team is never going to happen? His last financing scheme was soundly rejected by the Board of Supervisors (it almost didn’t even get a second), no updates to the website, no one answers the phone there and no one answers the door.

“The notion of allowing a dental practice or commercial vendor of any kind to bring professional ser vices to our public schools at any time during the school day, involving either minor children or adult school staf f, is a ver y bad idea and should be stopped in its tracks immediately.

Dear Editor: I had to laugh when I read John Foust’s recent comment that Barbara Comstock never had a real job. I thought surely he must be joking. When I worked with her at the U.S. Department of Justice dealing with the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, she had one of the most responsible jobs in government as the public face and voice of the department. It’s one of the more daunting jobs in government and people are not lined up to ask for it and even fewer are qualified for the position. Barbara appreciated and supported practical and pragmatic activities to help citizens and communities enjoy life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. From the two decades that I worked at the U.S. Department of Justice, believe me when I say that many appointed officials did not get it. Barbara was one of the exceptions. With the growing threat of terrorism from abroad and even from within our country, we need leaders like Barbara Comstock who can be decisive and make the right choices. Daryl Borgquist, Leesburg

OPINION O pinio n
Dear Editor: When John Foust came to Leesburg and said his Republican opponent Barbara Comstock hadn’t “even had a real job,” was he being meanspirited, or just dumb? Of course Mr. Foust knew that Mrs. Comstock was once a senior aide to our own Congressman Frank Wolf. That wasn’t a real job? If Foust is elected, will he tell his own staffers that their service to the people of the 10th District is not a “real job”? Rather than dignify Mr. Foust’s bogus claim by rebutting it with a long list of Barbara Comstock’s impressive jobs, I’d like to point out that it is Mr. Foust and his party that have the jobs problem. By strangling the real economy with a multitude of new regulations and taxes, Democrats have hurt most the people they most claim to help. Since 2008, average incomes of the middle class have fallen 4.9 percent, and those of the poorest quintile by 8.4 percent—and most of these declines occurred after the recession was allegedly over in mid 2009 (when Democrats, controlling the White House and both houses of Congress, pushed through the Stimulus, DoddFrank, and Obamacare). Mr. Foust has repeatedly bound himself rhetorically to this record, and

In fact, where is Mr. Farren? I’m sick of seeing that ugly tarp every time I drive by One Loudoun (and I’ll bet One Loudoun is too) and it’s time to put a stake in the heart of this joke so we can all move on. Sure, the Board of Supervisors left a tiny sliver of hope for the taxable bond issue, but at this juncture even if a miracle occurs and he gets financing in place no one will trust him to operate two sports teams and oversee the operation of a multi-use stadium. His one remaining benefactor in town, Scott York, needs to issue a statement indicating that he and the board no longer support the project. We need closure on this. We need Farren to man up and step aside in case anyone else out there wants to pick up the mantle for the stadium and possible teams so we can have something many of us might want that would be of economic benefit to our community. Please, Bob, put us out of our misery now. James Lewis, Leesburg
his official actions have mirrored it. He has never met a tax increase he didn’t like. Does he think by pushing a meal tax in Fairfax County on top of all the other tax increases he has shepherded through that he won’t kill some “real jobs”? Mr. Foust later tried to explain away his claim that Mrs. Comstock had never “had a real job” as an attempt to describe the highly partisan nature of her work. That dog won’t hunt, either, but it does recall one of the most telling official acts of Mr. Foust’s own career: John Foust was the only Fairfax County supervisor (even though the board is controlled by Democrats) who refused to join Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli’s lawsuit against the EPA, after the agency had ruled that rainwater runoff in Fairfax was a pollutant. Foust explained his decision by saying that Cuccinelli’s involvement proved to him it must be the wrong thing to do. Fortunately, other Democrats on the board considered the case on its merits, Cuccinelli’s suit prevailed, and Fairfax taxpayers saved $200 million—$800 for each family of four in Fairfax County. Foust put his partisanship above the pocketbooks of Fairfax County citizens. We don’t want him putting partisanship ahead of principle while representing us in Washington.

Freshman Grace McOmber wasn’t only looking forward to a shiny new building, but her first year of high school. “The new challenges should be exciting, and having more freedom in school,” she said. Superintendent Eric Williams celebrated a fresh start right along with the school district. The new superintendent, who started his post July 1, welcomed students at schools throughout the county. After ushering students into Countryside Elementary School, he headed over to Belmont Ridge Middle School to help new sixth-

He was happy to see a familiar face, though, in his former first-grade teacher Susan McGregor, who moved with him from Buffalo Trail Elementary to Cardinal Ridge. “She’s my favorite,” he noted. “I still have a lot of new friends to meet though.” Getting to know the new Cardinal Ridge was a family affair for the Koltas.

his isn’t the first time Loudoun Valley administrators have been accused of retaliating against staff members who buck their leadership. Loudoun County Public Schools hired an attorney to conduct an eight-month investigation into allegations that school leaders regularly bullied teachers and pressured them to inflate students’ grades. Specifically, complaints were filed against Principal Ross, Assistant Principal Stephanie Teague and Head of Special Education Supervisor Ella Hopson. Before his retirement, Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick concluded in May that the teachers’ allegations were unfounded. Following a report last October by Leesburg Today on the investigation, a crowd of parents, teachers and students gathered at Carver

late to practice two weeks ago. “I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t walk in and see it with my own eyes,” the mother said. She said she reported the incident to the school administration, and that prompted Athletic Director Kelican, Principal Ross and school system administrators to question the entire coaching staff about the incident. McGrath was dismissed a few days later. “They did only what could be done in a situation like this,” the mother said. “This individual was dismissed with really good cause.” Kelican and Ross referred any questions regarding the situation to school system Public Information Officer Wayde Byard. Asked to confirm whether a parent complained about McGrath’s conduct, Byard said he could not comment on personnel issues. Howard said the mother’s story does not align with what her son or other players have experienced under McGrath’s leadership. She called him “a normal coach” who will raise his voice on occasion, but does not curse at or belittle his players. Howard said, “The administration used this, I believe, to get rid of him.” McGrath declined to comment on his termination following the advice of his attorney William B. Reichhardt. Reichhardt did not respond to request for comment.

“Bring Back McGrath.” An acting coach is expected to be appointed by that time, according to Byard. n

of backlash from the administration. “These are the ones who are working with our students,” she said. “If they think the environment is counter to a good learning environment for our students, we need to hear from them without them fearing for their jobs or their work environment.” With regard to McGrath, Turgeon said this week that she knows few details about what led to his firing but plans to follow up with Superintendent Eric Williams. About 50 parents and teachers—including some familiar faces from the meeting last November—gathered at the high school bleachers Monday morning to show their support for McGrath. Together, they issued a formal statement: “The Loudoun Valley community is outraged over the dismissal of Coach McGrath and we demand his immediate reinstatement. We support our players and the entire coaching staff and call for a complete independent investigation.” As the Vikings face James Wood Colonials Friday, the stands are expected to be filled with parents and students wearing T-shirts that read

she was amazed at the long practices and hours he encouraged players to spend in the weight room. But her son told her, “Coach tells us the stronger we are, the safer we’ll will be.” “He does it because he cares about the players,” Howard said. She called his firing “a witch hunt by the administration… If you don’t have the same take as them, they will try to remove you anyway they can.” But another mother of a Vikings football player, who did not want her name published to protect her son’s privacy, said the coach’s dismissal has nothing to do with his campaign to improve safety on the field. She said McGrath was fired because she complained that he berated her son and one other player for 45 minutes for being
Community Center to discuss the situation. The repeated sentiments during the more than two-hour meeting were concerns of retribution against school employees who made the allegations. That prompted assistant football coach Scott Warner to stand and say administrators told him he could no longer coach the high school’s lacrosse team after he voiced concerns about the high number of injuries Loudoun Valley football players endure because they play much larger schools. “There’s no documentation, no complaints but they say I can’t coach,” Warner told the crowd. “So I understand why teachers are concerned of reprisal. It’s very real.” Warner has since been reinstated as the lacrosse coach. Joseph LaFonte, a parent and Loudoun Valley coach, also said that night that he was not invited back to coach junior varsity wrestling after he voiced concerns about athletes’ safety. At that meeting, School Board Vice Chairman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) said the board wants to improve the grievance process so employees can report concerns without fear
