“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.

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 14

t had everything a great brainstorming session should.

Start-up companies. PowerPoint presentations. Frequent use of words like “innovation” and “collaboration.” A cool venue, at Aol’s Dulles campus. And healthy competition over who had the best solutions for hard-to-solve problems.

But it wasn’t the typical idea-sharing event that lures entrepreneurs eager to have a stake in the next big thing. This was a chance for companies to showcase high-tech solutions to

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.

He oversaw the county’s 911-dispatch center for the last year and a half and said, “What you’re Continued on Page 16

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. I don’t think she’s even had a real job,” Foust said, Ashburn Rising reported.

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

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.

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

he Leesburg HUBZone isn’t just having an impact locally, it also is getting national attention.

The Contractors National Council selected the town’s staff for its 2014 “Economic Development Agency of the Year” award, recognizing the department’s outstanding support of the HUBZone program, which offers direct assistance to businesses and opens new jobs in economically disadvantaged areas.

“Creating a strategy was the key to managing an efficient HUBZone program,” Economic Development Director Marantha Edwards stated. “We work diligently with our partners, the businesses and the commercial real estate brokers to provide direct assistance to the businesses and create jobs for Leesburg residents.”

The Leesburg HUBZone received its designation Jan. 1, 2013, and is credited with attracting 32 new companies and creating 161 new jobs.

The federal Small Business Administration designates areas as Historically Underutilized Business Zones, giving small businesses located there advantages in the competition for government contracts. Leesburg’s HUBZone stretches from King Street to the Leesburg Bypass between the W&OD Trail to the south and Edwards Ferry Road to the north. Qualifying businesses must be 51 percentowned by American citizens and 35 percent of their employees must live in the HUBZone.

The award will be presented to the department Sept. 19 at the National HUBZone Conference in Chantilly.

County Treasurer Drops Leesburg Tax Collection Option

2; Town of Leesburg tax payments will no longer be accepted at the county treasurer’s offices and county tax payments won’t be processed at the town’s financial services department.

Although Leesburg taxpayers won’t see a town personal property tax bill until next spring, their county taxes will be due Oct. 5.

Those payments may still be made: • Online at www.loudoun.gov/paytaxes ; • By telephone: 1-800-269-5971; • By mail to: County of Loudoun, P.O. Box 1000, Leesburg, Virginia 20177-1000; and • In person at the two treasurer’s office locations, 1 Harrison St., S.E. in Leesburg or 21641 Ridgetop Circle, Suite 104 in Sterling. n

he decision by the Leesburg Town Council to change the timing of its personal property tax payment deadline has resulted in the end of a mutual collection agreement with the Loudoun County Treasurer’s Office.

The council in July voted to change the town’s personal property tax deadline from Oct. 5—the same date as the deadline for paying county personal property taxes—to May 5 each year.

The mutual collection policy was established for the convenience of taxpayers, allowing them to pay both bills with a single stop at a town or county office. Effective Tuesday, Sept.

Wherever the budget ends up, and where supervisors vote to put the tax rate, Buckley made one prediction about the April 6 vote: “I predict that no one will be happy.

There is just no easy answer. There is just no good answer. And that’s what makes it such a difficult situation,” she said. “We have to look at both things: raising revenue and cutting services. Who knows where the end result will be, but its’ valid to have that debate.”

Residents Urged To Return Juror Surveys 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.

County Notes • The Board of Supervisors has scheduled a special meeting Friday to interview candidates for the county attorney position. Jack Roberts retired July 1 after holding the post since 1989. Rob Brown has been serving as interim county attorney.

The Philomont Volunteer Fire Department

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 public-private partnerships to fill in gaps.

County supervisors were scheduled to tbeo dbriefed a y on the report Wednesday. The Atlantic Group conducted the study of wire-

less 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 17 $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 expedited review for taller, but Awesome Parties! minimally visible, structures.

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 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.

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 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.

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.

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 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

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 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 “Bring Back McGrath.”

An acting coach is expected to be appointed by that time, according to Byard. n

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.

The more people know that you can get good local food, and get it fairly easily, the better.”

Visit Loudoun also was pleased with the strong regional draw.

contribution of iPads to the children’s emergency department at Inova Loudoun Hospital is just the latest gift by Cindy Chambers. The tablets follow other gifts, including slushy machines, countless Beamer stuffed dogs and “Beamer Visits the Emergency Room” books.

The founder of the Tell Me Town Foundation has long been intent on recognizing aspects of hospital care that could be scary for children while they are at Inova Loudoun Hospital.

Receiving the donation, INLH Founda-

Chambers was a successful corporate executive for many years, but she concluded her career in that world to pursue her interests in charitable giving.

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

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

TRAIN STATION PARKING LOT

Lengthy discussion occurred over a request by Jason Brownell, managing partner of Western Loudoun Development, to increase the fee paid for the town’s use of the parking lot in front of the Train Station and Magnolia’s Restaurant at the Mill.

His father, the late Bruce Brownell, restored both the Train Station and converted the adjacent former mill to Magnolia’s as well as developing the Train Station parking lot. He permitted the town to have free use of the lot, a practice that continued under his son until 2012, when the town and Western Loudoun Development entered into a shared parking license agreement to help with Jason Brownell’s monthly expenses for the lot. Under that agreement, the town paid a monthly fee of $125 for the use of 18 parking spaces.

The town acknowledged several factors had contributed to Brownell’s request to increase the payment to $500 to $600 per month, including the increased use of the lot, the installation of Visit Loudoun’s LOVE Letters on the lot; an upgraded landscaping and maintenance schedule for the property; and increasing maintenance costs over the winter.

During last week’s meeting, Brownell said an increase in taxes was a primary motive for the request.

Currently the town pays $1,500 per year for the right to use the parking lot for access to the town-owned Train Station. If the payment were to increase to $500 per month, the yearly payment would be $6,000.

In assessing the pros and cons of Brownell’s request, town staff recommended an increase to between $400 and $500 per month after assessing the importance of the parking Continued on Page 23

what performs and what does not,” Fraser said.

In particular, he pointed to three vacant houses on the town’s Aberdeen property that require upkeep. He also encouraged staff members at the departmental level to identify projects that could result in cost savings, increased efficiency or more revenue for the town, suggesting that switching to in-house vehicle maintenance could be one option.

The town began an updated asset review earlier this summer to present to council, according to Town Manager Robert W. Lohr, who said this week photographs of each property were being provided along with descriptions.

Lohr also noted that during the term of this council a number of leases would come due for renewal, including the lease with the county parks department for use of Fireman’s Field and telecommunication leases on the water tower.

• The Lovettsville Historical Society has an interesting and varied supply of topics at hand for its series of Sunday afternoon lectures.

From people to events and, now, to the history Lovettsville of bee-keeping in the county, the society gathers a faithful clientele Sunday afternoons at St. James United Church of Christ on East Broad Way in Lovettsville. The month’s lecture, which starts at 2 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 14 features local beekeeper Jeffrey Pfoutz who will relate the history of beekeeping in Loudoun since honeybees were first introduced to North America in 1622. Pfoutz, a beekeeper for more than a decade, will contrast the management of honey extraction today with that of those earlier times, as well as bees’ critical role in plant pollination. The operator of Loudoun Center Apiaries LLC, Pfoutz manages 20 honey-producing colonies in the county as well as managing smaller colonies to produce starter bee colonies for area beekeepers. Weather permitting, Pfoutz will bring a stocked observation hive to the event. For more information, contact

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

Mayor Bob Zoldos noted that most veterans who have a paving stone dedicated to them are from the Lovettsville area, but not all. His family paid for a paver for his grandfather, Cpt. Ewing G. Miller—a battlefield commissioned officer during World War II from the Pittsburgh area, who also served in Korea.

He was “a true hero and great guy,” according to his grandson, who says the intent is to honor loved ones who served from wherever they may hail. Cost of the pavers is $250 each, and they will be dedicated during this year’s Veterans Day ceremony. Order forms are available on the town’s website at www.lovettsvilleva.gov.

The church is just two miles away from Monroe’s home, Oak Hill, which he built while he was in office. Harris became director of the James Monroe Museum and memorial library in July 2011. The museum, which is administered by the University of Mary Washington, is the largest repository in the nation for artifacts and documents relating to the county’s fifth president. Harris has wide experience in managing historical and cultural assets, including serving as director of the Virginia Military Institute’s New Market Battlefield State Historical Park from 2001-2011. He also directed the department of Historic Resources for the City of Manassas from 1995-2001, and was curator of the city’s museum from 1988 to 1995.

Council members concluded there was no pressing case for changing current levy of 17-cents per $100 of gross receipts tax.

This year Bluemont offers a “green” country fair, featuring juried traditional crafters, local art and authors, craft and farming demonstrations, music—traditional, blues and country—a 10K race, children’s fair and farm animals, including the always popular llamas and alpacas. Additionally, there will be a

quilt display, colonial blacksmithing, homemade food, the annual pie-baking and pickle-making contest, antiques, fresh and dried flowers, beekeepers and hives, local wine tastings, a historic slide show, a model railroad display, and the pre-Civil War country store and farmer’s market.

The council also discussed the creation of a Special Events Ordinance that would distinguish between vendors “setting up on the street” and event organizers. Currently, all vendors putting on events in town are classified as itinerant vendors, and are charged a $500 vendor tax.

Town Attorney Sally Hankins said there are two reasons behind the move to create the ordinance: regulatory, to control how long events last, their size and logistical issues; and concerns related to taxation and permits. The ordinance also would deal with the use of town buildings, Hankins said, noting the difficulties of how one defines a “town event.”

Councilwoman Joan Lehr noted one of the main concerns is the vendor’s tax, which she said, “just kills people,” although Phillip Message, the concessionaire for the Bush Tabernacle under a lease agreement with the town, recommended maintaining the $500 charge.

Lohr said the town receives no revenue from 75 percent of the town’s special events, but that the staff would suggest a series of steps to list all special events, resulting in a single blanket fee that is simple to collect and enforce, he said.

The town government could take a hit, he said, noting the town might have to pay a $120 fee for its events—such as the Loudoun Grown Expo or the Wine and Food Festival.

“We’ll look at different options, including an event charge of between $125 and $225,” he said. n

lot to the town, which uses the Train Station more than 500 times a year; the capital expense of developing a new parking lot and regular maintenance costs, even if land could be found; and the town’s increased use of the lot.

“While he asked for no additional compensation at the time, this clearly warrants some level of additional compensation for the impact and encumbrance on the property,” the staff report stated.

But, just what that level should be, or the terms of a future agreement, took more than half an hour to arrive at resolution.

Stating that the town had benefited for eight years from his father’s benevolence in not charging for use of the lot, Brownell told the council, “I received none of the revenues you got, but now taxes have gone up 75 percent. I want compensation.”

While there seemed to be agreement among council members to support a $500 monthly fee, Councilman Patrick McConville suggested renegotiating a fee for five years. Councilman Ben Parkard amended that proposed motion to $500 a month now and directing the town attorney to negotiate terms to lock in a rate and establish a rate for the next five years. The discussion went back and forth until the council ultimately unanimously approved Packard’s motion for staff to bring back for approval a five-year contract at $500 per month, with a kick out clause for either side and 4 percent escalation each year.

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.

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.

“The gains students made show that— despite all of the weather-related interruptions last winter—the statewide focus on teaching students to be problem solvers and to apply what they have learned in mathematics in reallife situations is producing results,” Virginia Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven R. Staples said in a statement announcing the results. “VDOE acknowledges the hard work of staff in local school divisions and will continue to work in partnership with them to share best practices and to provide the resources and support teachers need to help their students succeed.”

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 heard of this before, but I can tell you

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

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 school-aged 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

ear-over-year joblessness across the Washington, DC region declined modestly in July, part of a general trend toward better employment numbers reported by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The non-seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate of 5.4 percent was down from 5.7 percent a year before, according to preliminary figures reported Aug. 27. July’s percentage represented 3.27 million in the region’s labor force and 176,400 looking for work. A year before, there were 185,800 residents of the D.C. region seeking employment.

Year-over-year unemployment rates were lower in 348 of the nation’s 372 metropolitan areas, higher in 16 and unchanged in eight, Bureau of Labor Statistics officials said. The national, non-seasonally-adjusted unemployment rate of 6.5 percent in July was down from 7.7 percent a year before.

Among the nation’s metro areas, the lowest jobless rate was reported in Bismarck, ND, at 2.4 percent. The highest rates were found in Yuma, AZ, and El Centro, CA, at 29.2 percent and 24.7 percent, respectively.

Among the nation’s 49 metro areas with populations of 1 million or more, the lowest jobless rate was reported in Minneapolis-St. Paul, at 4.2 percent. The highest rate, 9.8 percent, was found in Detroit.

Among Virginia metropolitan areas outside the Washington region, joblessness was down in July compared with a year before. July 2014 unemployment rates were 4.8 percent in Charlottesville, 4.9 percent in Winchester, 5.5 percent in Roanoke, 5.6 percent in Harrisonburg, 5.7 percent in Richmond, 5.8 percent in Virginia Beach, 6.2 percent in Blacksburg/Christiansburg, 6.3 percent in Lynchburg and 8.1 percent in Danville.

Statewide, the non-seasonallyadjusted unemployment rate of 5.4 percent in July was down from 5.8 percent a year before.

“Many of the companies on this list have something to do with IT, which employs almost 30 percent of the Loudoun workforce,” Rizer said in an email announcing the companies.

But Inc.’s list of 5000 fastest growing companies touted more

than Loudoun’s IT sector.

Making their third appearance on the list is FCi Federal, a government services company. Seven other Loudoun companies are also being featured for the second year in a row, including TSPi; Strongbridge; SMRC; Ian, Evan & Alexander; Paramount Business Jets and iQuasar.

Knight Solutions also made an encore appearance. “We congratulate Knight Solutions for their outstanding success. This is their second year on the list, and they’ve grown more than 1,000 percent each time,” noted the Chairman of the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, Scott York. The company, which grew from $1.2 million in revenue in 2010 to more than

$16 million in 2013, hires military veterans to renovate veteran-occupied cemeteries.

Twelve Loudoun companies made their first appearance on Inc.’s list, which county Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) said reflects the county economy’s growing diversity.

“The board has strived to create an environment in Loudoun where businesses can succeed, and we look forward to working with them as they continue to grow,” he stated.

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.

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

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 38

(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 Leesburg 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.

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. The ride concludes with a celebration—including barbecue, entertainment and raffle drawings—at Boulder Crest Retreat.

The cost to participate in the ride is $25 for a single rider and $40 for rider and passenger. Non-riders are welcome and can register on site for $25 per person. To register, go to: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/ weblink.aspx?name=E160995&id=33 n

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 well-known 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 NOVA Roller Derby’s September bout takes place Saturday, Sept. 13 at Michael and Sons Sportsplex in Sterling. The double header features the Backwoods Rollers vs. the Beltway Betties and the Metro Misfits vs. the Vineyard Vixens. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. The first bout begins at 3:30 and the second at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $12 at the door, $10 in advance. Children 6 and under are free. Bring your own chairs for best seating and bring a puzzle for the Aurora School in Leesburg.

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.

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.

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.

Joking?

76th Annual Ladies Board

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

tance ride, having completed the well-known 2,745 mile Tour Divide, which follows the Continental Divide from the Canadian Rockies to Mexico and other endurance races.

Davison added that Hodges, a retired science teacher who taught in Loudoun for more than 30 years, is well known beyond the cycling community. Neighbors, former students and parents of students have been popping in to the shop for an update on his progress.

For Hodges, the journey has (literally and figuratively) been full of ups and downs. After some initial snags involving missing gear and a stolen smartphone, Hodges is now cycling his heart out, relishing the new bike and stunning scenery.

“A much needed shower has removed the layers of ‘bull dust’ from my body. Our group of about 40 has completely taken over a small hotel in the middle of town,” Hodges posted on his blog on from Caraz, Peru, Aug. 23.

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.

James Hodges, of Neersville, is riding from from Quito, Ecuador, to Ushuaia, Argentina.

Sports

...AS POSTED AT LEESBURGTODAY.COM

L

oudoun cyclist James Hodges has embarked on a four-month South American odyssey—with lots of support from home.

The Bike Dreams Andes Trail Ride is an adventure-oriented competition for seasoned amateur cyclists that follows the Andes Mountains from Quito, Ecuador, to Ushuaia, Argentina.

Hodges holds the lead in the race after 20 stages and 1,847 kilometers—just short of 1,150 miles. The full race is 11,000 kilometers, or 6,835 miles, over 136 days.

Hodges, who lives in the small community of Neersville in western Loudoun, will return to Virginia just before his 64th birthday in December.

Hodges’ trip is sponsored in part by Nicole and Scott Davison, owners of the new Veloville bike shop and café in Purcellville. The Davisons worked with Spanish bike producer Orbea, a specialist in high-end adventure cycles, to buy a new bike for Hodges to take on his trip. The UK-based cycling gear company Endura donated clothing and equipment for Hodges’ ride, also through an arrangement with Veloville.

“Everybody sort of pitched in when they heard what he was doing,” Nicole Davison said.

“Sure it’s a good marketing opportunity but I think more than that it was James embodying what all of us always hoped that we would do.”

Hodges’ journey has inspired admiration and support from the local cycling community.

“He’s a real cyclist, a true cyclist in the sense that he rides for adventure. He rides for the pure love and thrill of it,” Davison said, adding that Hodges is a poster child for the health benefits of the sport.

Hodges is no stranger to this kind of dis-

town’s General Fund previously has had to supplement the Utility Fund. Additionally, the town’s General Fund 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.

by, town restaurants do very well. “It’s absolutely doubled our business,” she said during a recent very busy lunch.

Co-operation with the town and the county is key, Devadas said, citing the partnership with Visit Loudoun and state tourism agencies, including its involvement with Visit Loudoun’s Epicurience Virginia event last week.

“At the same time we are providing a venue that had not existed before for Loudoun and the state—they can attract more higher rated business,” he said.

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
