Cash Crunch: Early Budget Estimates Bleak Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

preliminary estimates show revenue increases of only $53.4 million next fiscal year. That would just cover the $53.1 million in additional funding school system leaders think they will need next year when they open another new school and welcome 1,400 additional students. Fiscal planners also have identified a need for $50 million more to cover construction and debt service commitments. County Administrator Tim Hemstreet has identified about $32 million in additional funding that

will be needed to fund the non-school side of the budget and give raises to county employees. Supervisors were able to lower the real estate tax rate last year, but it will be more difficult to toe that line in FY16 as the growth in real estate values slows to 6.1 percent this year—down from 8.3 percent in 2013. Meanwhile, the county’s population is expected to grow by 3.5 percent, bringing increased demands for new services and school seats.

L if e s t yle s

he Board of Supervisors’ finance committee Tuesday was presented with a decidedly un-rosy scenario as county leaders open their FY16 budget talks. According to the report provided by Loudoun’s financial management staff, supervisors face an $81.8 million shortfall without an increase

in the real estate tax rate. A tepid economy and slowing housing market are combining with razor-tight FY15 budgets and ballooning capital costs to set up a new round of fiscal challenges for the all-Republican county board. The impacts of the federal government’s sequestration-driven spending cuts and an $881 million shortfall in the state’s biennial budget add uncertainty to the mix. At the current $1.155 real estate tax rate,

Evermont Trace Vote Will Stand Despite Airport Concerns immediately following the vote. MWAA representatives reached out to supervisors individually during July and August to discuss their concerns that allowing residential construction in a zone that county planning policies designated for commercial development because of the proximity of the airport and its high-noise zone could result in pressure to restrict future flights and set a precedent for other housing developers to creep closer to flight paths. During the board’s Sept. 9 meeting Dulles Airport Manager Chris Brown made one more plea, warning that

increased complaints about aircraft noise could prompt actions like those taken a Reagan National, which instituted the nation’s most stringent flight rules. Several supervisors reinitiated their strong objections to the rezoning. Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) and Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) called it the poorest decision the board has made during its term. “Why we would put residential here is beyond me. This is about our economic engine,” Buona said. However, Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue

Ridge), who represents the district in which the Evermont Trace property is located and who made the motion to approve the rezoning application, and Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) blamed airport leaders for not making strong objections before the vote occurred. Both pointed to a memo MWAA sent in response to the application that encouraged the county to be aware of the impacts aircraft overflights would have on the proposed neighborhood, but did not specifically object to or request denial of the rezoning. “The time to object was in July,” Reid said, Continued on Page 10

etropolitan Washington Airport representatives worked over the summer to convince at least one county supervisor to change his or her July 16 vote to approve a rezoning application to permit construction of 90 homes on 33 acres of commercial land at the edge of Dulles Airport’s high-noise zone. That effort failed last week, when none of the five members supporting the Evermont Trace application initiated a reconsideration vote. A reconsideration may only be made at the meeting

the school system. The sensors light up when an athlete takes a hit to the head at 80G or more, indicating he or she should be checked for a concussion. Loudoun County Public Schools declined the offer, citing concerns that the sensors had not yet been sufficiently tested. Parents of Loudoun Valley High School football players purchased a box of the sensors, but school administration shut down a prac-

tice last month minutes after the sensors were introduced and said athletes who wore them would not be allowed to play. Waterhouse reiterated the staff’s opposition to Brain Sentry’s devices during last week’s meeting. The school system’s Concussion Committee researched the devices and communicated a long list of concerns about using them. Continued on Page 24

Leesburg Today/Mike Stancik

Stone Bridge’s recent Learn To Row clinic drew a decent crowd to Beaverdam Reservoir. Interest in the sport has grown in the last four years since the first high school rowing team formed.

having built its own dock in different locations. “Personally I’m really happy to see this big of a turnout,” senior captain Tyce Nguyen said during the clinic. “To see all these people out here to row and possibly recruit people for the crew team is exciting, especially as a captain.” Stone Bridge coach Kayla McCormick believes crew is a great sport to get into. “It’s the ultimate team sport, you move as one when you’re in the boat. For these high school-aged kids, they get really close with each other. From a physical standpoint, you’re using your entire body for a great workout. It’s something the kids don’t get to do everyday, either; you’re not just picking up a ball and going outside.” However, the growth of the sport faces a new challenge with this week’s reservoir closure. Loudoun Water acquired the Goose Creek and Beaverdam Creek from the City of Fairfax earlier this year. After taking control of the land, the authority in April announced a temporary prohibition on public access to the land and the water, citing safety, security and

liability concerns as well as plans for significant construction. The crew teams are still trying to figure out what their future holds. Loudoun Water General Manager Fred Jennings said, while the authority honored the crew teams’ agreement with Fairfax to use the reservoir, it is uncertain whether that agreement will be renewed. “We’re looking for a temporary home where we can continue to train while the reservoir is getting renovated,” assistant coach James Zeller, who has coached with Suter since the beginning, acknowledged. “We’re working with the folks from Loudoun County Parks and Rec. They have two parks on the Potomac that might be promising. We’re working on a proposal to submit to them.” As a worst-case scenario, the teams would need to travel an hour away to Fairfax to practice if no Loudoun options are available.

ive years ago, there was not one rowing team in Loudoun County. Now, three Loudoun crew teams are preparing for the fall season, and Stone Bridge recently hosted a Learn To Row clinic to garner more attention to the physically taxing sport. The event occurred just days before Loudoun Water’s announcement Tuesday that Beaverdam Creek Reservoir would be closed to all users, including Loudoun rowing teams, effective Sept. 9. It might add a wrinkle to the sport’s growth, but coaches hope to find a solution as soon as possible. More than 20 students participated in the weeklong clinic Aug. 25-29 at the Beaverdam Reservoir to enjoy the last couple weeks of reservoir use. “I’ve enjoyed it a lot,” Hunter Poerksen, a rising sophomore at the Ashburn school, said. “I’ve learned how to take a basic stroke and all of the new terms. It’s intense. I’ve definitely been sore but I like it a lot.” In just their third year as a club sport in 2013, the Bulldogs were able to notch a secondplace finish in states last May. Head coach Kevin Suter, who started the first Loudoun crew team at Briar Woods in 2010, has been a huge reason for the recent success and growth of the sport. “When I first moved here in 2006, I was the only one rowing on this reservoir. Now I’ve got 120 high school kids out here and four masters,” he said. Each of the three schools competes in fall and spring schedules, which include about four different regattas (races) along the East Coast. The biggest event of the year is in Philadelphia at the Stotesbury Cup Regatta, the largest high school athletic event in the world. More than 120 schools compete, and the Bulldogs had a boat finish in seventh of more than 50 crews last season. Stone Bridge shares the reservoir with Briar Woods and Loudoun County, with each team

report by the Loudoun school system’s Concussion Committee concluded the senior staff is open to the use of devices to help prevent head trauma in student-athletes, but just not Brain Sentry’s impact sensors that spurred controversy at Loudoun Valley High School. Deputy Superintendent Ned Waterhouse delivered the message to the School Board’s Health, Safety and Transportation Committee last Wednesday. Last spring, Bethesda, MD-based Brain Sentry offered to outfit every Loudoun County football and lacrosse player with helmet impact sensors, and Inova’s Neuroscience Research program offered to track data obtained from the sensors free of charge to

“Is there a procedure that has been followed in the past that we can follow currently to get the approval of these devices? I’d like to find out who has the authority to give the approval.”

In a news conference held Monday afternoon, Alexandria’s Chief of Police Earl Cook said the Alexandria community has been long waiting for arrests in the three cases. “We’ve been waiting for this day for a long time and once again I extend my sympathies to the families,” Cook said. “Obviously, this has been a huge tragedy that has been ongoing in our community for the last 11 years.” Police have said that ballistic evidence linked the three cases, but Monday declined to comment on specifics about the evidence. At the news conference, Cook said no weapon has been recovered. “There are numerous similarities in these high-profile homicide cases,” Cook said. The shootings took place within a generally small area of Alexandria, all three victims were killed at their homes and all three were killed around the same time of day. Cook said he could not comment about whether investigators believe the shootings were random or if the victims were targeted, but said Alexandria is a small community and “most people who live here for any length of time tend to know each other.” “I am confident that the suspect Charles Severance is the suspect we have been looking for,” Cook said. In a statement, prosecutors from the Alexandria Commonwealth’s Attorney office said they do not intend to seek the death penalty. If convicted of capital murder, Severance faces up to life in prison. In their statement prosecutors said they would not comment on evidence in the case or on their decision to waive the death penalty. n

n Ashburn man has been indicted on capital murder and other charges related to three high-profile deaths in Alexandria. An Alexandria Circuit Court grand jury Monday indicted Charles Severance, a former Alexandria resident who lived most recently in Ashburn, on multiple charges for the February death of Ruthanne Lodato, the November 2013 slaying of Ronald Kirby and the 2003 death of Nancy Dunning. The grand jury indicted Severance on charges of capital murder, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon for the death of Lodato, a well-known music teacher; capital murder, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and posession of a firearm by a convicted felon for the death of Kirby, who served as the transportation director for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments; and firstdegree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony in the death of Dunning, a real estate agent and wife of the city’s former sheriff. Severance is being held in Loudoun County’s jail on an unrelated gun charge. In that case, a Loudoun grand jury in July indicted Severance on a charge of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. A two-day trial on that charge is set begin Oct. 27. Until Monday, Alexandria police had not officially named Severance a suspect in the three homicides, which police were investigating as related cases. “This has been a complex and time-consuming investigation that has spanned almost 11 years,” Alexandria police said in a news release.

A 32-year-old Leesburg-area woman is in jail and facing multiple charges after trying to avoid arrest by threatening her 10-month-old daughter and then a deputy with a razor blade. The incident began around 9 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 4 when Deputy A. Kowalski went to the Loudoun Orchard Road home to serve an arrest warrant for a probation violation. Inside the home, Rachel Lynn Jones allegedly ignored the deputy’s commands and at one point grabbed her infant and threatened to harm her with a razor blade. She also threatened the deputy with the razor blade and made threats to jump from a second story window. According to the sheriff’s office report, the deputy and a family member grabbed the baby and then Jones jumped from the window and fled. Additional deputies and a K9 unit were called to assist and when Jones was found she again threatened a deputy with a razor blade. She was arrested and taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital for treatment for her injuries, including a self-inflicted injury from the razor. She was later released from the hospital and taken to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, where she was held without bond. Jones was charged with reckless endangerment of a child, two counts of assault on law enforcement, two counts of resisting arrest and two counts of simple assault. She is to appear in District Court Tuesday on charges of obtaining money by false pretense and violating term terms of her pre-trial release. An Oct. 15 trial date has been set on the new charges.

Pedestrian Struck, Injured Crossing Leesburg Bypass

A 25-year-old Washington man was hospitalized after he was hit by a car around 6 a.m. Sept. 5 while crossing the Leesburg Bypass near Fort Evans Road NE in Leesburg. Leesburg Police said the pedestrian was wearing dark clothing and was struck by a 2001 Saturn driven by a 57-year-old man from Lovettsville. “Alcohol may have been a factor with the pedestrian,” Leesburg Police Cpt. Clagett Moxley said Friday morning. The man was transported to Fairfax Inova Hospital and was initially listed in serious but stable condition. He is from Tacoma, WA, police reported. There is no pedestrian crosswalk on the bypass. A free bus shuttle service is offered to transport residents across the bypass, but operates from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends. No charges have been filed in the case.

Officers determined he was subject to an arrest warrant issued by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement for failure to register as a sex offender. Delles was arrested by CBP and turned over to Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority police for extradition. Later that day, Manar Gharman Alshehri, 20, a Saudi Arabian citizen, was boarding a flight to Saudi Arabia. Officers determined Alshehri was subject to an arrest warrant issued by the

Improperly discarded smoking materials are being blamed for a Sept. 4 apartment fire that caused $22,000 in damage and displaced 13 residents. According to Loudoun Fire-Rescue, Ashburn emergency crews were dispatched at 8:25 a.m. Sept. 4 to 43849 Dodge Terrace where they found smoke conditions in Apartment 302. Additional units from Lansdowne, Moorefield, Kincora and Sterling Park were called to assist. Further investigation found a small fire in the bedroom had been extinguished by the building’s sprinkler system. Units remained on scene to ventilate the apartment and to perform salvage operations to protect the resident’s belongings in the apartment and those on the two

The discovery of a box of ammunition in a bin at the county’s Western Loudoun Recycling Center near Hamilton prompted a sheriff’s office search of two nearby schools. According to the report, deputies were called to the recycling center on West Colonial Highway around 6 p.m. Sunday after a resident reported finding the discarded ammunition. No evidence of discharged rounds was found in the area. Because of the proximity of Harmony Middle School and Kenneth W. Culbert Elementary School across the street, the grounds of those schools also were also searched.

FACT:

who proved to be the swing vote in approving the project. Critics disagreed with that logic, pointing out that the planning staff strongly warned that approval of the rezoning would violate longstanding county planning policies around the airport and could set a precedent for other developers to build homes in the area. Also, the county planning commission voted 7-0-2 to recommend denial of the application. Buona acknowledged that MWAA did not make a strong case before the vote but said they had little reason to suspect the application would find favor among supervisors. “They trusted us,” he said. Vice Chairman Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run) strongly rejected the effort to blame MWAA for supervisors’ decision to approve the application and for their decision not to change their votes now. “Now that you have been educated, ignorance is not longer an excuse,”

While there was general agreement among supervisors last week to not pursue the measure, Clarke said she would continue to push for ways to get needed road improvements. • At the urging of Supervisor Suzanne Volpe (R-Algonkian) the Board of Supervisors has initiated the development of new “whistleblower” policies to protect county government employees who report suspected cases of fraud, abuse or mismanagement. The county staff will report back with proposed policies. • Some relief is coming to residents concerned about speeding traffic in the Potomac Station neighborhood on Leesburg’s eastern border.

Roberts. No action was taken, but a decision is expected at the next board meeting. • The Loudoun Museum is getting an additional $26,769 funding boost. The request was made by Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Cactoctin) who serves on the museum’s board of directors. He initiated the request after the FY15 grant awards for nonprofit organizations left the operation short. In an effort to help the museum become financially stronger, the board entered a threeyear deal to provide $63,000 annually. This is the final year of that deal. Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) voted against the additional appropriation. n

Williams said. The property is located along Belmont Ridge Road north of Evergreen Mill Road south of Brambleton. The application has been under Board of Supervisors’ review since a public hearing in December. It survived a denial vote in January, when supervisors deadlocked 4-4 with Reid absent. Before the July vote county planners said the application still failed to comply with Loudoun’s fiscal and land use policies. Converting industrial land to residential use will drive up service demands, such as adding $650,000 in annual school costs, according to the staff report. Planning Director Julie Pastor said permitting houses south of Shreveport Drive, which was designated as a barrier between residential and commercial uses, could set the stage for additional requests to convert undeveloped industrial land in the area to residential use. Voting to approve the rezoning were Clarke, Reid and Supervisors Suzanne Volpe (R-Algonkian), Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) and Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling). n

The Hill High location will offer freshly baked bread and prepared foods as well as pies—so “people can come in for a bowl of hot soup or sandwiches”— primarily using ingredients from her Luckettsarea farm, the produce from which also will be featured at a farm market outside the building. “I think it’s going to be brilliant, synergistic and just lovely,” Renshaw said of the combination of food, wine, art, and, possibly, beer at Hill High. Thomas confirmed the company is in lease negotiations with Marty Doherty, who just completed the sale of his Roadstar company, and who plans to install the Snickers Gap Brewery and Roadside in about 5,000 square feet adjacent to Renshaw. Thomas said RJL Homes is very happy with the new lease with Renshaw, and potential lease with Doherty, with whom she said “we’re working out terms and space right now.” And tenants are also pleased. Jill Evans Kavaldjian, manager of the Round Hill Arts Center, welcomed the news. “Hundreds of people come here looking for pies; we’re happy,” she said. n

here once again will be the sweet smell of freshly baked fruit pies coming from the grounds of Loudoun’s iconic Hill High Country Store west of Round Hill. Avis Renshaw, owner of Mom’s Apple Pie in Leesburg, has inked a deal to expand her operations there. RJL Homes/Stoneleigh Group representative Meredith Thomas said negotiations have been underway for several months, after the store’s former baked-goods tenant departed in May. Renshaw was a logical choice to take the space. “We thought it was the perfect resolution,” Thomas said. Renshaw’s operation will occupy about 5,700 square feet in the building that also houses Bogati Winery, Gateway Gallery, Round Hill Arts Center and Barefoot Weavers Studio. Talks also are underway to establish a new brewery and roadhouse in the Hill High complex. Dating back decades when Hill High was one of Loudoun’s many thriving orchards, the store has been a popular destination for freshbaked pies. That’s a tradition Renshaw plans to bring back, when she installs her Hill High Pies LLC enterprise after completing renovations. “Everyone’s goal is October.” Renshaw is looking forward to being in the historic building. “It needs to be updated, but we plan to carry on the lovely tradition that’s been going on since the 1940s or ‘50s,” she said. She plans to enlarge and use some of the old photographs she’s been given to decorate the space, calling them “a rich part of Loudoun’s agricul-

NVCC’s Templin To Retire

aving shepherded hundreds of thousands of students through the doors of Northern Virginia Community College over the past dozen years, college president Robert Templin Jr. announced Tuesday he plans to step down in 2015. He made the announcement at the monthly meeting of the college board, calling his years as president “the highlight of my career.” Templin was president of the Center for Innovative Technology when he was tapped to lead Virginia’s largest institution of higher education in 2002, focusing on under-served populations of the region. Eighty percent of the enrollment growth comes from minority, lowincome and first-generation college students, college officials said. During his tenure, NVCC increased the

number of graduates by 120 percent to more than 6,000 annually, and now transfers more students to George Mason University, Virginia Commonwealth University, James Madison University, Virginia Tech and the University of Virginia than any other institution. NVCC “is one of the very top colleges in the country for creating higher education opportunities and producing outstanding graduates,” Templin said in a statement. “I’m thankful for the experience of working with so many dedicated elected officials and business, civic and education leaders across our region to expand educational opportunities for tens of thousands of additional students.” Templin also encouraged partnerships between the college and local business community, as well as community organizations, and put an emphasis on preparing students for careers in growing fields, such as science and medicine. “You don’t replace a Bob Templin,” said Michael Wooten, who chairs the college’s board. “The best you hope to do is to find a worthy successor. Bob is leaving us the legacy of a superior institution; we hope that this legacy will attract a world-class leader to succeed him.” During his tenure, the college developed “Pathway to the Baccalaureate,” an award-winning college-access and baccalaureate-completion program serving more than 10,000 students annually from 55 high schools and centers located in low-income, minority and immigrant communities. For Pathway graduates, the baccalaureate-completion rate at George Mason University is currently 83 percent. Templin also was the founding board chairman of Achieving the Dream Inc., a national nonprofit organization serving more than 200 colleges in 34 states. Achieving the Dream is dedicated to helping more community college students, particularly low-income students and students of color, gain access to college, stay in school and earn a post-secondary credential. “I’ve worked with many college presidents during my career, and Bob is at the top of the list for his commitment to change lives and improve communities,” said Glenn DuBois, chancellor of the Virginia Community College System. To accommodate the college’s growth, Templin opened three new centers and began major capital projects totaling almost 1 million square feet of classroom and laboratory space. NVCC also initiated Virginia’s first statewide community-college distance learning network linking 22 community colleges and serving almost 3,000 students annually, primarily in rural areas, within the first three years. Templin started his educational journey at a community college. He earned an associate degree at Harford Community College in Bel Air, MD, before going on to Towson University for a bachelor’s degree, Georgetown University for a master’s degree and North Carolina State University for a doctorate in education. After retiring, Templin will continue working to improve higher education, officials said. He has accepted a part-time appointment with The Aspen Institute where he will serve as Senior Fellow with the College Excellence Program. He also will hold a part-time appointment as Professor of Practice with the Department of Leadership, Policy and Adult and Higher Education at North Carolina State University. Both roles will focus on developing leadership programs to help prepare the next generation of community college presidents and to develop resources to improve student success across the higher-education sector, officials said. n

According to Barron’s, “The formula [used] to rank advisors has three major components: assets managed, revenue produced and quality of the advisor’s practice. Investment returns are not a component of the rankings because an advisor’s returns are dictated largely by each client’s risk tolerance. The quality-of-practice component includes an evaluation of each advisor’s regulatory record.”The rankings are based on the universe of applications submitted to Barron’s. The selection process begins with a nomination and application provided to Barron’s. Principals of Edelman Financial Services LLC self-nominated the firm and submitted quantitative and qualitative information to Barron’s as requested. Barron’s reviewed and considered this information which resulted in the rankings on Aug. 27, 2012/Aug. 28, 2010/Aug. 31, 2009.

Frank Wolf. The 10th Congressional District Town Hall, put on by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce in Herndon Sept. 3, was the first opportunity for Democratic nominee John Foust and Republican nominee Barbara Comstock to share a stage and air their differences. Foust, a Fairfax County supervisor, repeatedly brought up Comstock’s 2012 House of Delegates vote supporting controversial legislation that would require transvaginal ultrasounds before an abortion, and Comstock just as frequently brought up Foust’s comments made in Leesburg two weeks ago claiming she never held “a real job.” “Barbara Comstock has been obsessed with taking away a woman’s right to choose,” Foust told a roomful of Northern Virginia business leaders during the forum. “If she goes to Washington she will continue to pursue a hyper-partisan agenda and we already have too many in Congress who do that.” Comstock shot back later, “My opponent attacked me personally saying I don’t have a real job. Yet those who know a thing or two about real jobs have looked at me and endorsed me. The Northern Virginia Technology Council and the U.S. Chamber… I think all jobs are jobs and deserve dignity. Work is about dignity.” Throughout the 90-minute forum, the candidates took questions on transportation, job creation, support for veterans, the national deficit and tax reform. Through their answers, both worked to paint the other as extreme— Foust pinned Comstock as another tea party Republican in Congress while Comstock linked Foust to President Obama’s economic and energy policies—and both touted their willingness to work across party lines. Foust noted his seven years as chairman of the Fairfax Economic Advisory Commission and on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors where he helped pass a balanced budget every year. He said it’s usually difficult to tell who are the Democrats and the Republicans on the county’s Board of Supervisors because they work so well together. “I can’t tell you how many people have been surprised when they learn the party I am in, thinking I’m in the other party,” he said. Comstock pointed to her work with business leaders, Democrats and Republicans in the state General Assembly to pass legislation that encourages telework, as well as a package of data center state tax incentives and a research and development tax credit, a credit Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) praised as “enhancing Virginia’s business climate,” she said. Comstock took a few hard hits from Foust for voting against Virginia’s $6 billion transportation bill, that includes $300 million for Metro’s Silver Line. “My opponent opposed that bill,” Foust said. “You can’t want everything and be unwilling to pay for anything.” Comstock defended her vote, saying she opposed the budget that included the transportation-funding package because it also included money to expand Medicaid. “If you blow up Medicaid expansion, then we have less money for jobs and roads,” she added. It was Foust who took a hit when he wavered on the topic of the Keystone Pipeline. Comstock first said she supports it, along with most unions and Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA) but noted her opponent does not. That prompted Foust to say Comstock

needed to do some fact checking. Comstock said she was told he didn’t support it and added, “In the spirit of bipartisanship I will welcome you into the large coalition of people who support it.” “Well, I haven’t gone that far,” Foust interjected. He later explained, “I want those jobs, I really do. But it’s still being studied… and if it is going to have a negative impact on the environment, I can’t support it.” The two candidates will face off again for a debate hosted by the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce Sept. 24 at the National Conference Center in Lansdowne. Tickets are $50 for chamber members and $70 for nonmembers. More information is available online at www.chamber.org. n

Cla ss if ie d

Continued from Page 1 In an effort to head off a repeat of the highly contentious budget battle between supervisors and schools advocates last spring, the Finance Committee Chairman Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) is proposing an advance revenue- sharing agreement that would give the School Board a better idea of how much local funding it can expect to support school system operations next year. Buona is suggesting that supervisors and the School Board decide what percentage of the local revenue the school system will receive, and that percentage split can be revaluated every two years. Last year, the school system’s allocation of $600 million for its FY15 operating budget made up about 58 percent of the county’s overall local revenue pool. General county government operations total $244.5 million in FY15, 23.5 percent of the budget’s $1.04 billion in local tax funding. “The Board of Supervisors may be giving up a little control if we went ahead with this, but so what. I think the School Board deserves the ability to look ahead,” Buona said. Buona brought up the idea during last Thursday’s Joint Board of Supervisors/School Board meeting, and was expected to formally present it during Tuesday’s finance committee meeting, which occurred after the newspaper’s deadline. Budget season is an annual fiscal tug of war in Loudoun County, typically set in motion when the School Board first adopts a budget that’s then sent over to the Board of Supervisors—which sets the local tax rate—as a funding request. Through years of population growth, and thus student enrollment increases for the school system, the process has become a political battle with the Board of Supervisors’ allotment almost always falling short of the School Board’s request. Buona’s hope is, if the School Board knows how much funding is coming several months in advance, it could craft its budget within those fiscal constraints, instead of later returning to cut back its budget. “I think it would de-politicize it… Frankly, I think the community and our kids deserve better than the process we had this last budget season,” he said. “The way the process stands now, we pass a budget and you have almost no time to react.” School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) raised concerns about the idea, saying it would make the county’s tax rate the priority over the needs of a growing school system. “The supervisors are focused on setting the tax rate—which this Board of Supervisors has made clear is an equalized tax rate or lower—and from the schools’ side, we’re focused on what the needs of the district are, reacting to the reality of inflation and the growth of the student population,” he said. Plus, he added, even if the School Board knows the tax rate, how much revenue ends up coming in can be dramatically different than projections predict. The fiscal guidance the Board of Supervisors gave almost exactly a year ago under an equalized tax rate aimed at keeping tax bills flat ended up bringing in $44.2 million more in revenue for schools than what county staff initially projected. School Board member Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run), who chairs the finance committee on the schools’ side, also expressed reservations about the idea but said he was willing to try it. He did note, however, that the school superintendent still is legally required to craft a budget that meets the needs of the school system, not a budget that aligns with the Board of Supervisors’ taxing priorities. “It’s not necessarily a game-changer,” he added. “It would really just be a guideline we could use.” Buona said there would be upsides and downsides to the idea, but it is worth exploring. He added, “Now don’t take this the wrong way” but a predictable funding amount would require the School Board to establish priorities. “Because when you know what’s coming you’ve got to ask yourselves, is a step increase for employees more important or a COLA (cost of living adjustment) or decreasing classroom sizes? You’ll understand the number of dollars you have, as opposed to being in a reactive mode.” n

olunteer organizers of the Community Table of Loudoun program—a new creative culinary outreach—are gearing up for their second event Sept. 23. At three locations around the county, those in need of a good meal and those interested in good company will be welcomed to dine together for free. The event builds on the first community table dinner that was offered June 9 at Crossroads United Methodist Church in Ashburn. This month, dinner will be served at the Cascades Senior Center in Sterling, Leesburg United Methodist Church and Carver Senior Center in Purcellville. The initiative is the brainchild of Leesburg resident and former marketing and resource development professional Kurt Aschermann. “I come out of the old Catholic world … I had thought of reviving the soup kitchen that I knew had flourished, then lapsed,” he said, recalling his vision of patrons lining up to fill plastic trays in a cafeteria line. But the more he talked to faith leaders, the more he realized that what was needed was an opportunity for residents in need to sit down and be served by members of the community. “It was very important to have it be a restaurant experience—not a soup kitchen,” he said. At the suggestion of the Rev. Reginald Early of Mt. Zion United Methodist Church, the organizers called the dinner concept “radical hospitality.” Aschermann laughed as he recalled his initial reaction: “I took it out, but he protested ‘Put it back in,’ so I did—and he was right.” Looking back at the first dinner in June, Aschermann is still amazed by what he called a rousing success with 116 guests, more than double the expectation. Just under 100 volunteers from different faith communities had worked to provide elegant and colorful table settings at the church. Everyone had a great time and Aschermann particularly recalled one guest who gave

Aschermann and his group plans to offer the community meals four times a year at three places, in east, central and western Loudoun. Particularly for the upcoming Sept. 23 event, but also for the rest of the year and into 2015, Aschermann said many volunteers would be needed to help spread the word, to serve as waiters and help prepare and serve the food. He hopes to provide at least 50 volunteers at each site. Volunteers are particularly needed in Sterling and Purcellville. The Community Table provides a full restaurant experience. Diners are greeted at the door by a maitre d’ and taken to a table. A waiter comes with menus, takes the drink orders— coffee, tea, iced tea or water—then the meal orders and then delivers the meals to the table. Another notable feature of the free dinners is that there is no eligibility qualification, except for need and a desire to be there. “There is no litmus test—who are we to judge,” Aschermann said, adding anyone who wants to come out and have a nice, restaurant-style dinner, served by others at an elegantly laid table is welcome. “We hope people won’t abuse it; this is hospitality.” Twenty-one Loudoun congregations of all faiths are supporting the community dinners, and Aschermann said each is committing to provide a site and volunteers for at least two years and to teach and preach about food insecurity. Aschermann turned serious when describing what “food insecurity” means to him. “For me, it’s during a single month when an individual or family is not sure of the next meal to put on the table,” he said, citing Loudoun Interfaith Relief’s comment that the greatest need is at the end of the month. “They just can’t stretch that check to the end of the month.” Aschermann also stressed Radical Hospitality is not another new charity—it’s an idea that he hopes is powerful enough to catch on and spread. “There’s no 501(c)(3), no payroll, no Twitter feed—it’s just sitting around a table across from people you don’t know and enjoying nice food and a social experience.” In addition to the faith communities, the hospitality program receives help from Loudoun Social Services and human services groups, including Mobile Hope, Loudoun Interfaith Relief and Loudoun Cares. Aschermann is also touched by the combination of faiths that join to serve the dinners. “Dec. 9, we’ll have Evangelical Christians, who will be serving and working with Jews and Muslims … “How cool is that?” To volunteer, email ctloudoun@outlook. com. n

A state policy established in 2011 requires school systems to form concussion committees that meet annually. Loudoun’s committee, under the direction of Supervisor of Athletics Les Cummings, includes coaches, athletic directors, parents and school administrators. Waterhouse said every athletic trainer the committee spoke with actively opposed the implementation of the sensors, particularly because of concerns that false positives or negatives from the sensors could hinder trainers’ ability to accurately treat athletes. Another concern was that Brain Sentry’s sensors emit a red light when a hard hit occurs, so everyone on the field can see. “Players may indeed consider the possibility of targeting a specific player not to injure, but to remove him from the game from a strategic standpoint,” Waterhouse said. Another concern is the fact that Riddell, the company that provides helmets to Loudoun’s public schools at $200-$300 each, told the Concussion Committee that the helmets’ warranty would be void if the sensors—which attach to the helmet with a double-sided adhesive—were used. “Our collective decision had to do with combining all of these considerations and elements,” Waterhouse noted during the meeting. “These combined notes constitute a risk we aren’t willing to take.” While the deputy superintendent stressed he does not recommend using Brain Sentry’s sensors, he and other committee members are open to other suggestions and devices to improve athletes’ safety. School Board member Debbie Rose (Algonkian), who chairs the Health, Safety and Transportation Committee, echoed the same thoughts as Waterhouse. “I think we have to be clear that this device will not prevent a concussion, it is not a concussion-prevention device,” Rose said. “It’s not going to add any safety other than it’s going

to add a possible tool for detection. But there are still some questions surrounding how accurate that indicator is.” Four Loudoun Valley parents attended last week’s meeting, and two spoke during the public comment portion in support of some sort of device that would help decrease injuries on the field. Dee Howard, who was one of the Loudoun Valley parents who purchased a $75 Brain Sentry sensor, said impact sensors are being used by public school teams in Williamsburg and Norfolk, and Loudoun should also be open to them. “If there is an impact sensor that is or would be allowed at a Loudoun County school, please let us know what you would approve of now,” she said. Paula Stapleton of the Loudoun Valley Vikings Booster Club, wanted to know what avenue parents could take to get some sort of safety device approved for use. “Is there a procedure that has been followed in the past that we can follow currently to get the approval of these devices? I’d like to find out who has the authority to give the approval.” It didn’t take long for those same parents to take Waterhouse at his word and propose other devices. A few hours after the committee meeting, Howard sent an email to Waterhouse and Rose, with a suggestion for another impact sensor, the Riddell InSite Response System. The device is from the same Riddell helmet Waterhouse said would void warranty on its helmets if a Brain Sentry sensor were used. The sensor sits inside the helmet, and there is no outside light so only the trainers would receive the data. “This is the same helmet with impact sensors that’s currently being used in Virginia high schools and there are apparently no issues with Virginia High School League,” Howard said in the email. “From the information we received this morning I believe this helmet should meet your requirements.” n

Oktoberfest Scheduled For Sept. 26-28 Margaret Morton

mmorton@leesburgtoday.com

ovettsville’s signature event is fast coming up—Sept. 26-28, when the town’s German heritage will be celebrated in high fashion. Each year, the town’s Oktoberfest adds a few new twists to add to old favorites. This month, organizers are focusing on two recent introductions, the first of which will be a second shot at establishing a world record for the largest sing-along of “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. Although the town fell short last year, Mayor Bob Zoldos and Oktoberfest Chairman Jim McIntyre and his committee are determined to have another go at making their way into the Guinness Book of World Records. Everyone is urged to turn up for the record attempt Friday evening, Sept. 26. To be counted, residents should be in the Main Tent enjoying food, drink and entertainment by Ghost Pepper, which takes the stage at 7 p.m. The record-breaking attempt is at 9:30 p.m. Another big hit last year was the Wiener Dog Races in the Main Tent and organizers promise an even better show this time. “Highly trained” dogs will compete against each other in a 30-foot race to find the Top Dog for this year’s festival. The races start at 5 p.m. Saturday and should be loads of fun for spectators, and, it’s hoped, for the dogs. For a waiver and race application, dog owners should go to www.lovettsvilleoktoberfest.com/wiener-dog-races/. McIntyre assures us that not only will the dogs be faster, and their handlers more handsome, but also that a new and improved stadium will be available so that everyone can get a clear view of the canines as they head for the finish line. For a full schedule go to www.Lovettsvilleoktoberfest.com/schedule/ or contact the town at 540-822-5788. n

iscovery Elementary School in Ashburn is getting a new inclusive playground, thanks to a hefty donation from Panda Power Partners. The $152,500 adaptive playground is designed for children of all physical abilities, including those with physical limitations. Loudoun County Public Schools leaves it to individual school parent-teacher groups to raise money for playgrounds. Parents at Discovery Elementary, which opened a year ago, raised around $50,000 for the adaptive playground through Buy a Brick campaigns, spirit nights and bake sales. A few businesses also donated, including a $7,500 check from the Trump organization. But the parent volunteers still had a ways to go to make an adaptive playground a reality. About a year ago, Loudoun County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) was invited to read at Discovery Elementary. While there he heard about the effort to raise money for a playground, so he put a call out to businesses to chip in what they could.

This summer, a representative from Texas-based Panda Power Partners, which is building a gas-powered electricity plant south of Leesburg, told York the company wanted to do something special for the community and asked whether he had any ideas. “A light bulb went off,” York said. He suggested Panda donate $10,000 to help the Discovery parents purchase the new playground. “Then I get a call and they said ‘this is too important. Let’s pay for them to get it done,’” York said. NoVA Outdoors What’s even more sur- The Clemyjontri Playground in McLean draws a crowd because it is designed for children of all physical abilities. prising about the donation— Both York and Supervisor Ralph Buona come in under budget and that money, raised which will allow the playground to be completed as early as October—is (R-Ashburn) said the donation might prompt through bonds, is returned to the county. that the power plant isn’t expected to begin a broader discussion about whether the school “This is something we should look at,” system should install playgrounds when it builds York said. “Even with one of these more expenoperations until March 2017. The closest adaptive playground is in schools, as opposed to leaving it up to parents to sive (adaptive) playgrounds, you’re only talking $100,000 of the millions you spend on a new McLean; however, Sycolin Creek Elementary raise funds to pay for them. As is, most school construction projects school.” n School is also raising money to install one.

They said the program would offer students far more than is typically offered in career and technical education. “This is not your mom’s CTE program,” Terri Breeden, Loudoun’s new assistant superintendent of instruction, told members of the joint committee last week. “This is something very, very special.” The Academies of Loudoun is slated to be built on a 119-acre site along Sycolin Road, with plans to open in 2018. The new school will combine expanded versions of the existing Academy of Science and C.S. Monroe Technology Center, as well as a new Academy of Engineering and Technology.

have a short amount of time to build support for this,” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) told members of the work group last week, commending their efforts to promote the project School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) agreed, but added that reaching out to the community is about more than gaining support for November’s bond referendum and also a chance to invite people to help shape the future academies, from the makeup of the facility to the curriculum taught in it. “It’s really about how do we properly align this with the expectations and the desires of the community it’s going to serve,” he said. “We want to get ideas and perspectives about how we can better serve the students of Loudoun.” The vision for the Academies of Loudoun has been many years in the making, and for much of that time it’s been seen as a facility to house an expanded Academy of Science—a selective high school program offered at Dominion High School in Sterling—and the county’s career and technical school C.S. Monroe in Leesburg. But the newest piece of the Academies of Loudoun will be the Academy of Engineering and Technology, which will provide four-year programs where students take either computer science or integrated engineering courses freshmen and sophomore year and, in their junior and senior years, choose from certification courses, advanced placement courses, dual enrollment courses or a variety of other advanced STEM courses. School Board member Jeff Morse (Dulles) noted the facility is not just for students identified as gifted. “There are a lot of opportunities here to reach all the students in Loudoun.” While AOS will still hold a high bar for acceptance, similar to Thomas Jefferson High School in Fairfax County, most of the other academies will be for any student with an interest in STEM and they can take just one course or enroll in one- two- or four-year programs. The building also would be used in the evenings and year-round as a center for online learning, testing, adult education programs and teacher training. n

he developers of Courthouse Square in downtown Leesburg last week announced a significant victory in landing tenants for the 112,000-square-foot project. Philadelphia’s Victory Brewing Company has inked a deal to establish a brewpub spanning three levels of the planned office/retail complex. L4 Capital Partners is redeveloping the former Loudoun Times-Mirror property between Market and Loudoun streets. Construction is expected to start on the complex later this year. The Victory at Courthouse Square restaurant is slated to open in the second quarter of 2016. It will be Victory’s fourth brewpub and will include a 300-seat restaurant and an upper-level terrace for outdoor dining. The 13,400-square-foot space also will be equipped with a full-service brew house. “The announcement is a culmination of over a year and a half of planning and effort, and we couldn’t be more excited than we are today, to announce our expansion into Virginia,” Matt Krueger, Victory’s vice president for retail operations, stated. “We could not have found a better partner than the White family, who shared—and are now helping us realize—our vision to bring Victory to Virginia.” “From our perspective, the deciding factors were the way that they do business and the way they run their operation,” L4’s partner and co-founder Blair White stated. “We went up to Downingtown and saw how they were operating up there, and that town actually has a lot of similarities to downtown Leesburg. It’s a small town with some old buildings with a main street kind of feel like King and

Market, and it’s about 40 minutes out of Philly like Leesburg is to DC. So it was kind of eerie the number of similarities there were, and when we went up there we saw the huge presence they had developed in their town. We want that here.” The town also is welcoming the brewpub as an addition to the downtown area’s growing inventory of attractions for food and beverage aficionados. “It is a big turning point for the town—it’s

Business In Brief • Nova Medical & Urgent Care Center has expanded its Ashburn office to include a newly renovated 10,000-square-foot medical suite with on-site X-ray capabilities. Founder and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Grace Keenan also has added Pediatrician Dr. Vaidehi Shah and board-certified family physicians Dr. Hannah Phillips, Dr. Stephanie Pylypko and

Dr. Holly Harris to practice in the newly renovated suite. Located at 21785 Filigree Court, the medical suite—Suite 103—boasts an onsite X-ray machine and lab, three pediatric exam rooms, and six additional exam rooms for family medicine. Renovations will continue through the fall to further enhance Nova’s urgent care department. Four additional exam rooms and a trauma room will be added for urgent care services. The urgent care department will move to Suite 103 in 2015 upon

a more forward thinking approach and a more business-friendly approach,” White explained. “If these guys couldn’t produce their beer on site, I don’t know if they would have had anywhere near the level of interest in coming to Leesburg. Five thousand barrels of beer is a lot of beer, but it’s a comfortable margin and it allows them to brew a lot of different beers and it will be a great boom economically for the town.” Victory Brewing Company is a craft brewery headquartered in Downingtown, PA. Founded by childhood friends Bill Covaleski and Ron Barchet, the brewery opened in 1996. Barchet’s family lived in Northern Virginia (McLean and Vienna) in the late ‘80s-early ‘90s, leading to a familiarity with the area. “You want to head into any endeavor knowing what your strengths are and we feel that the spacious beer hall family-oriented

The company operates a brewpub at its Downingtown location and has plans to open brewpubs in Kennett Square, PA, this year and at its Parkesburg plant in 2015. “I’d love to say we had a vision of this, but quite frankly our accomplishments now are outstretching our dreams,” Covaleski added. “I love to credit our ideas and dedicated staff, but we’re in the middle of an amazing craft beer trend in America. We didn’t develop that, but we’re participating very vigorously in it.” n

s head coach Mike Skinner built the Woodgrove football program over the past three seasons, the offensive focal point was the rushing of running back Josh Sweet. And rightly so. Sweet was the Dulles District Offensive Player of the Year in both 2012 and 2013, rushing for more than 4,300 yards in the process. Last season, Sweet gained more than 2,600 yards and had eight games with more than 200 yards rushing as he led the Wolverines to a 9-4 record and their first two postseason victories.   While Sweet (now playing at Cornell University) did his thing, Dylan Mellor waited in the wings for his opportunity to shine. A talented receiver, Mellor began to show what he could do late last season and has become one of the “go-to” players in the Woodgrove offense in 2014. Mellor has 13 receptions for 252 yards in just two games already this season for the Wolverines (1-1 as they head into a bye week before meeting John Champe Sept. 19). The 6-foot-1, 185-pound wideout broke his own school record with 161 yards on five receptions in Woodgrove’s season-opening 62-0 victory at Freedom. He scored touchdowns on four of the five catches, tying another school mark, and he’s already Woodgrove’s career leader in receptions (79) and yardage (1,319).   “He runs great routes, catches every ball,” Skinner said of Mellor. “If the ball’s in the air, he makes the play. He’s going to catch the ball seven to 10 times a game and cause other teams some problems, so we’re real excited to have him.”   Skinner and his staff entered this season looking to have a more balanced offense with the departure of Sweet. Woodgrove has accomplished that with the solid running of junior Charlie Clewis and the passing of senior quarterback Billy Sheehan, who has connected well with both Mellor and

The 24-goal match, starting at 3 p.m. Sept. 14, boasts a collection of the best female polo players in the nation. Outside of the U.S. Women’s Open tournament, which will be held in Houston in November, this will be the highest level women’s match held this year. “With the inception of the new women’s handicap rating by the USPA, we are now formally able to identify who the strongest female players in the country are. To have all invited agree to travel to Upperville, Virginia to support the National Sporting Library is amazing” VIPolo Club owner Maureen Brennan stated. There will also be a junior girls invitational match prior to the main event. “Women’s polo is the fastest

growing area of the sport, and we are delighted to support and encourage junior girls to play,” Brennan said. Located at historic Llangollen, Virginia International Polo Club is the largest polo club in the Virginia and Washington, DC, area that offers all polo services at one facility. In addition to world-class playing fields and the widest variety of polo levels available, VIPolo is a family friendly environment and works to make polo accessible to as many people as possible. The match and the luncheon will be held to support Middleburg’s National Sporting Library, which is dedicated to preserving the culture and literature of field and turf sports.

Koester his junior year.   “Now in his senior year, Billy’s finally taken the reins and he’s flourished,” Mellor added. “He’s got good speed running the ball, he has a great arm and he’s great at reading the defense. He’s my closest friend on the team, so it’s nice having the wideout-quarterback duo that knows each other’s strengths and weaknesses and we can flourish off that.”   Mellor began to blossom late last season as he and Koester (now playing at McDaniel College) developed as another offensive threat to complement Sweet. After a late October loss at Loudoun County, Woodgrove won the final three games of the regular season to earn the No. 6 seed in the Group 4A North Region playoffs. The Wolverines defeated Loudoun County and Eastern View for their first-ever postseason victories before falling to Salem in the region semifinals, but that success gave Mellor—who set school records with 49 catches and 809 yards—confidence heading into this fall.   “Going into last year, we had a two-quarterback system with Will Koester and Billy,” Mellor said. “Without having a main quarterback, it was hard to get the timing down with each guy. When Will took over the starting job, we got the timing down and it got better with all the wideouts. That helped a lot.   “That’s why we’ve been a lot more successful in the throwing game this year, because Billy is the main guy,” Mellor added. “He’s been there since day one. We all know how he throws, he knows how we run and he can read us well.”   The diversity in this year’s offense also has helped. Clewis has rushed for 246 yards, while Bryant (nine catches, 100 yards) has forced defenses to not concentrate totally on Mellor.   “We’re much more diverse this year,” Mellor said. “We’re spreading the ball a lot more. We have several good wideouts, good depth at running back, our quarterback is great and our defense is strong. Losing guys like Josh, J.J. Jackson and Chase Smith on the line has opened up

more spots for more people and they have the chance to flourish. With the depth we have, I think we might be a better team for it.”   Mellor also is an outstanding student—he scored 2250 of a possible 2400 on the SAT—and is looking to continue his football career at one of the top academic institutions in the country. He is being recruited by most of the Ivy League schools, as well as Virginia Military Institute, Bryant and Monmouth, but he has one particular school on his radar at the moment.   “I’m looking to go somewhere where I can play football and get a great education,” Mellor said. “I’m in the admissions process with the Ivy League schools and most are telling me I’ll have no problem getting in, so basically at this point I can choose where I want to go. My top choice right now is Harvard because I love the Boston area and I love the coaches there. I don’t know what the future holds, but I’m looking forward to it.”   Mellor hopes he may be able to parlay that education into a job in the medical field as Dr. David Johnson of the National Sports Medicine Institute in Lansdowne has made an impression on him.   “If the NFL doesn’t work out—everyone can dream—I’d like to maybe be an orthopedic surgeon,” Mellor said. “My mom had shoulder surgery and I was right there with her as Dr. Johnson did the surgery. I got to know him really well. He’s a great man. He showed me what he has to do and told me about all the schooling he did, and I loved every bit of it. He’s definitely a role model for me and I’d love to follow in his footsteps.”   For now, though, Mellor just wants to help Woodgrove accomplish its ultimate team goal.   “The state championship is what we all want,” Mellor said. “It’s going to be a tough road, but having a regular season under our belts where we made the playoffs will help. We definitely want to go far. We feel we have the depth that can take us far. We preach to each other at practice that it’s a 15-game season, so we need to stay healthy, stay motivated and stay hungry.”   n

nglish Beat frontman Dave Wakeling is embracing the past but looking to the future. The singer, known for his eternal idealism and enjoyment of connecting with fans, still loves playing his old hits. But, at 58, he’s also going through a creative renaissance, and is getting ready to record his first new album in decades. Loudouners can get a taste of Wakeling’s energy and enthusiasm when the English Beat takes the stage at the Tally Ho Theatre Sept. 18. It’s the latest in the venue’s series of shows by ‘80s hitmakers, drawing droves of nostalgic Baby Boomers and GenXers to downtown Leesburg. Fans at the Tally Ho show can expect a solid helping of favorites, with a dash of new material. Wakeling embraces early ‘80s hits including “Mirror in the Bathroom,” “Save it for Later” and “I Confess”, and particularly values the connection those songs bring with longtime fans. “I enjoy them in the same way as I enjoyed it when I wrote them,” he said in a phone interview with Leesburg Today. “All of those feelings go toward making the warmth of the song as you’re singing it. But more than anything else it really is quite a feeling to be singing your song and you look at the crowd and they’re singing it with you. It’s some of the story of your life and it’s become some of the story of their life as well.” Fans expect the familiar songs, he said, but they’re receptive to new tunes, too. “We start the set with one of the new songs at the moment, and we’ve got the crowd all clapping along by the third chorus,” he said. “That’s a really great indication of where [the new album] is

to get the project 100 percent funded, but we met a lot of interesting people along the way and we’re meeting them at gigs now. We’ve kind of always tried to keep in touch with people who come to the shows—we’re pretty accessible.” Wakeling launched The Beat (known in North America as the English Beat) in his early 20s in working-class Birmingham, England. Wakeling said he initially got into ska music during soccer matches in late ‘70s Birmingham,

headed.” The new album, “For Crying Out Loud,” is slated for release next year, and its spirit is close to The Beat’s best-known material, he said. The album was crowd source funded through the PledgeMusic website. The band offered creative incentives for donors, including dinner with Wakeling, a ride along on the band’s tour bus and, the most popular, Wakeling’s hand-written lyrics to a favorite song. “I’ve got to say it was a fantastic experience,” Wakeling said. “Not only did we manage

where ska music from the British label Trojan records was popular with a certain segment of skinhead soccer fans seeking to distance themselves from their racist counterparts. For Wakeling, the energetic, Jamaicaninfluenced music was a counterpoint to daily life in the UK during economically troubled times. “There was something fascinating about it. It seemed inherently happy which was odd coming from Birmingham,” Wakeling said. “When we started the Beat, I wanted to feel the

metropolitan angst of the Velvet Underground combined with the skip and jump up to [Jamaican reggae duo] the Maytones. There’s a sort of sense that life, while obviously tragic, was still a joy. From the outset, Wakeling’s goal was to blend pop, punk, reggae and ska. He connected with “toaster” (or DJ), Ranking Roger, and The Beat was born as the leading edge of the second wave ska movement. After a string of hits, the Beat broke up in 1983, and Wakeling and Roger went on to form General Public, which had several U.S. hits throughout the following decade before its breakup in the mid-1990s. Wakeling had by then moved to Southern California, where he still lives with his family. He launched the current U.S. version of the English Beat in 2004, and Roger has his own version of The Beat in the U.K. Wakeling says he’s currently “somewhat” in touch with Roger but he’s convinced the two will eventually reunite to perform. “I do think that eventually we’ll work together because we both know that everybody who has bought every piece of food me and Roger have eaten in the last 35 years would like to see us sing together,” Wakeling said. The Beat was, on a certain level, an unwitting groundbreaker because of the racially mixed makeup of its members. Wakeling’s 21 year-old-son and 19-year-old daughter are biracial, and he loves that for so many in their

millennial generation, skin color is unimportant and usually not discussed. “What’s interesting is that they don’t describe their friends by their color…It’s evolved so that it’s not even mentioned,” he said. “What Martin Luther King and Bob Marley said is starting to come true, that it’s the quality of a person’s character…It’s very hopeful.” Many of Wakeling’s songs have had an edge of social commentary, and he’s been active in nuclear disarmament and environmental causes over the past decades. While he avoids getting embroiled in U.S. politics, his music continues to have a sense of global activism. The band will continue to use its PledgeMusic campaign to support its designated charity, Doctors Without Borders, and will also donate a portion of merchandise sales to the nonprofit. “They’re a good symbol of the sort of courage that’s probably required of all of us. They have an ability to stand and bear witness in tough times and tough places. I really admire their work,” he said. Wakeling’s message, warmth and music continue to appeal to a broad range of fans, including baby boomers who got on board from the beginning; GenXers, who got their groove onto General Public; and younger ska fans intrigued by the upbeat rhythm and often more serious lyrics. “It’s an interesting challenge for the record Continued on Page 38

because we want to make a record that somebody that’s bought all of our records says, ‘I’ve always loved this band, these are great songs.’ But at the same time you want somebody in their twenties who’s walking past the shop and hears the song and says, ‘Oh that’s good, I’m going to buy that.’” Becky Gildersleeve of Charlottesville is one of the ‘80s kids making the trek to the Tally Ho. She and her husband Sebastian Geuens have seen the latest incarnation of the English Beat in Richmond and will be heading to Gildersleeve’s hometown for the show. It will be her first concert at the venue where she went to see movies as a kid. “Part of the appeal is nostalgia, remembering our first years of dating,” Gildersleeve said. “Seeing them perform live has been a pleasant surprise in terms of their energy and vitality. They’re nothing at all like a tired old band going through the motions…The concerts in Richmond were exuberant and joyful and filled with incredible ska energy.” For Wakeling, making music in his 50s remains a joy, with a focus on the music and the audience instead of on the trappings of fame. “I focus mainly on connecting to the sound and trying to sing the song the best I possibly can. You can never sing it just right unless you’re Frank Sinatra. But you try your best to get close,” he said.

vailing side of the July vote allowing a developer to build 90 new homes under a Dulles Airport flight path declined to reconsider their decision. It was disappointing.

Surprising was the effort by some to

action—claiming an MWAA memo on the project did not clearly object to it. It is a difficult claim to find credible given the strong opposition to the rezoning application from the county’s Planning Commission, which issued a protest of the county’s own planning staff.

However, even if we were to grant them a benefit of

the doubt on that scenario, the urgent concerns of the airport’s managers certainly were made clear to them in advance of last week’s board meeting. That was the meeting at which any one of the five supporting members was procedurally permitted to seek reconsideration of the action and correct their error.

Even with this “new” information in hand, none did.

The decision will stand, as will the risks.

Chief among those risks is sending the clear signal that

a majority of Loudoun supervisors now is willing to chip away at long-established policies designed to protect future residents from the loud noise inherent with airport operations and—more importantly—to protect the airport from neighbors’ complaints that threaten to limit its economic growth.

It is a risk Loudoun’s leaders shouldn’t be taking.

LETTERS to the editor Not The Bar

M Dear Editor:

r. Gentry Nalley’s letter last week regarding the judicial appointment process reveals a misunderstanding of the role of the Loudoun County Bar Association (LCBA) in that process. On behalf of the LCBA, I would like to offer some information to your readers to clarify how judges are selected generally in Virginia, and specifically in Loudoun County. Judges are appointed by the General Assembly, they are not elected by the citizens. Once a vacancy is certified by the Virginia Supreme Court and the Committee on District Courts, notice is given to the General Assembly. The House and Senate Courts of Justice Committees then receive nominations. The members of these committees determine whether or not each applicant is “qualified.” Committee sessions

are open to the public and citizens may appear before the committee if they so desire. The LCBA is a voluntary private bar made up of attorneys in Loudoun County who are licensed to practice law in Virginia. As with many “specialty bars,” the LCBA has an internal process for assessing judicial candidates who wish to serve as judges in the 20th Judicial Circuit. A Judicial Evaluation Committee, created from our membership, reviews applications from attorneys interested in competing for an open judgeship. This committee interviews those candidates who wish to be part of the LCBA’s process. The committee renders its findings and recommendations to the LCBA membership. The members vote on the candidates and a report is sent to the General Assembly for its consideration. The House of Delegates and the Senate vote and ultimately select the candidate of their choice.   Continued on Next Page

“I really have to wonder about this--we already have Monroe, we have the program at Dominion, and we can send our kids to TJ. The cost of building covered in the bond will only be the tip of the iceberg...it will have to be staf fed and maintained at a time when we’re struggling to make ends meet and not have, as DD has said so of ten, the LCPS budget over whelm ever y other priority in the county. If some rich benefactor would cover the costs, I’d say, sure, let’s do it. But until we get a handle on our routine budget priorities, my vote will be no.”

Dear Editor: For more than 16 years, The Salvation Army has assisted students in preparing for the new school year. “Tools for School” helps provide over 500 Loudoun County school children with the supplies they need to return to school. Each year, the Salvation Army of Loudoun County works with families that are pre-qualified, based on need, through an application process. The success of this effort is due to the efforts of fantastic volunteers and generous businesses. A huge thank you to Jennene Estes and her team at Catoctin School of Music and their students and families overseeing this effort.

Dear Editor: I broke into tears today after learning of Scott Gustavson’s death. Scott, who had served with distinction on the Leesburg Economic Development Commission, including as chair and vice chair, was a leader in revitalizing downtown Leesburg, plus filling space at the Village at Leesburg. He also was the agent for the new Lansdowne Development Corp. project at the old Barber & Ross property, which is known as Crescent Place. You can thank Scott Gustavson, in part, for the excellent variety of shops and businesses at the Village at Leesburg and what will become of Crescent Place when it is fully built. Scott was one of the early backers of the Downtown Improvement Association, a group of commercial property owners, who banded together in 2007 to devise a vision for downtown Leesburg. This led to new sidewalks and streetscape. He also helped bring this great newspaper, Leesburg Today, back to downtown Leesburg, where it had been for many years. He also served our nation in the U.S. Marines. Scott was a visionary and big thinker. Two of his sisters, Carrie and Ingrid, founded and operate Lightfoot—one of the best restaurants in Loudoun County—and a third, Nicole, owns Inform Fitness. They are all great business people and have helped made Leesburg the greatest place in which to live. Continued on Page 54

Cla ss if ie d

Contrary to Mr. Nalley’s assertion or inference of secrecy in the judicial selection process, the fact that participation in the LCBA’s process is limited to its own members does not prevent citizens from having a voice regarding the individuals selected to serve as judges in the commonwealth. Any member of the general public may express his or her opinion directly to the members of the General Assembly. If additional information is needed, interested citizens should contact their delegate or state senator. The General Assembly’s website, www.virginiageneralassembly.gov, can assist in locating the names and contact information for each delegate or senator.

Living Together

Dear Editor: Can it be that it has been 13 years since the tragic events of 9/11? Where has the time gone and where are the congressmen singing God Bless America while holding hands on the steps of the capitol? Where has the unity gone in these United States? Where are the TV ads with people of different races and creeds saying, “I am American”? Why do some want to see our president (and in turn our country) fail? What happened to “country first”? As I left the Pentagon on that fateful day in 2001, my first thoughts were “We have to learn to live together, and what makes some people so crazy as to be able to take planes loaded with people and jet fuel and slam them into buildings?” So I pray again today that we will try to find a way to work civilly together in Congress—compromise is not a bad word—and live together on this “blue marble” since there is no other place.

Ringing The Bell

Dear Editor: Sept. 17 marks the 227th anniversary of the signing of the United States Constitution, and the beginning of Constitution Week (Sept. 17-23). The tradition of celebrating the event began back in the mid-1950s when the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) petitioned Congress to set aside that week to be dedicated to the observance of the Constitution. It was signed into Public Law #915 by President Dwight Eisenhower. “Bells Across America” is a long-time DAR tradition whereby bells in courthouses, churches, schools, etc., are rung across the country at 4 p.m. Permission has been granted to ring the bells (10 rings) at the Loudoun County Courthouse on the 17th. Let us all do our part in reminding America that the Constitution is a living document that guarantees the freedoms and protections that we Americans enjoy. In the words of George Washington, “The Constitution is the guide which I never will abandon.” Susan Wight, Leesburg

Dear Editor: I am a little dismayed at the selection of inductees to the Loudoun County High School Hall of Fame. I have no quarrel with those inducted, however I see only athletes from 1967 through 2003.

As a 1959 LCHS graduate, I know there are several athletes who deserve that status. There were few honors bestowed in the old days except the honors bestowed by the Washington Post for first, second and honorable mention all-star teams. We were a small fish in a big pond and few playoffs were conducted. There are no inductees from the school’s opening in 1955 though 1966 and none from 2003 to today. The first few years had several multi-sport athletes who were outstanding in high school sports. In recent years, the school has had several great locally and state ranked teams and players. I am not going to name names, but I think a few have been slighted and can only hope that the next class of inductees includes earlier and later year athletes. C. Terry Titus, Leesbur
