Melissa Cooper and Dana Fikes, of Sterling, were one of the first in line to get their marriage license at the Loudoun County Courthouse Monday. By close of business Monday, five marriage licenses had been issued to same-sex couples in Loudoun.

ame-sex marriage became law in the Old Dominion Monday afternoon after the U.S. Supreme Court refused to take up cases from lower level courts, and by close of business that same day the Loudoun County Circuit Court had issued marriage licenses to five same-sex couples. Federal appeals courts in Virginia and four other states—Indiana, Oklahoma, Utah and Wisconsin—already had struck down legislative bans against gay marriage as unconstitutional and those rulings will be allowed to stand. The news sent court clerks throughout the commonwealth hurrying to transition to new marriage license forms that read “spouse” instead of husband and wife, and had same-sex couples

canceling afternoon appointments and work meetings to rush to courthouses. Melissa Cooper and Dana Fikes, of Sterling, called each other and simply asked, “So, what are you wearing?” “That was the proposal,” Fikes said, standing in front of the Loudoun County Courthouse alongside Cooper, her partner of 12 years. Then they sent a Facebook message to all of their friends and invited those who could make it to an impromptu wedding ceremony in front of the Loudoun courthouse at 3:30 p.m. Monday—less than two hours after the marriage ban was lifted. Their friend Shalom Mulkey was working out at the gym in Washington, DC, when she saw the Facebook wedding invitation, and 20 minutes later she and her husband were in the car on their way

Supervisors Seek Cost Of Serving Immigrant Children The proposal to assess the local impact of the influx of immigrants was initiated by Supervisor Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling) during the board’s Oct. 1 meeting. His original proposal not only sought to determine the impact of the relocated children on the county budget and service, but also raised concerns that the immigrants could pose a health risk in area schools. The staff report drafted by his office cited concerns over cases of enterovirus D68 found in

David Goodfriend previously stated that each student undergoes a physical and is vaccinated before being enrolled in a school. Supervisors, however, did support an effort to document the public cost of providing services to the immigrants, with some holding out hope of winning a federal reimbursement in the future.

Although several supervisors raised concerns about enrolling the immigrant children in schools without items required of other students, including birth certificates and immunization records, the board did not press for information on the students because the were told privacy rules limit access to that information.

More than 200 children crossing the border have been released to sponsors in Loudoun County between Jan. 1 and July 31 as federal authorities cope with a surge of Central American refugees.

roups that don’t get a vote in the 10th District may be the very force that helps decide the victor in what’s becoming one of the nation’s most expensive midterm races. Cash from super PACs and other outside groups is pouring into Northern Virginia, buying up ad time in broadcast, cable and digital markets. Ad buy tracking sources show outside groups will spend more than $7 million in advertising in the 10th District, with Republicans defending the seat held for 32 years by Republican Frank Wolf and Democrats going on the offensive. “This district has been trending toward Democrat for awhile now and this is an

Before the contest between Republican Barbara Comstock, a two-term Virginia delegate, and Democrat John Foust, a Fairfax County supervisor, super PACs haven’t paid much attention to the 10th District, which includes Loudoun, Frederick and Clarke counties as well as part of Fairfax County. Wolf won most of his elections by landslide margins. “With Frank Wolf’s retirement, the competitive nature of Virginia’s 10th Congressional District is in plain view,” said Emily Davis, deputy communications director for the Con-

A surge of ads paid for and crafted by national political groups will hit the airwaves the week of Oct. 14 and continue through Election Day, Nov. 4. Here’s a ballpark of what ad sources show Republican groups are spending in Northern Virginia: National Republican Congressional Committee has bought more than $2.7 million worth of broadcast and cable advertising time; Congressional Leadership Fund has reserved just less than $1 million worth; and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce GOP will spend about $300,000.

Wednesday, October 15, 2014 Two video stills of the suspect in last week’s armed robbery at Crosen Store are being circulated in hopes of identifying the thief.

L if e s t yle s

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an armed robbery that occurred last Wednesday night at Croson’s Store along Rt. 50 in Chantilly. According to the report, the suspect entered the store around 7 p.m., brandished a firearm and demanded cash from an employee. He then fled with an undisclosed amount of money and a cell phone taken from a customer. Deputies searched the area with help from a K-9 unit and the Fairfax County Police Department helicopter also was called to help. The suspect was not located. He is described as possibly a Hispanic or light-skinned black male who was wearing a fishing-style hat with a drawstring, a gray hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans. Anyone with information about this case should contact Det. M. Grimsley at 703-777-0475.n

The Leesburg Police Department is investigating the death of a 10-month-old child. The department was alerted to the case Friday morning after Loudoun County Child Protective Services contacted the sheriff’s office. Few details have been publicly released about the case, but injuries sustained by the infant were reported as suspicious. The child, who lived on Great Laurel Square in Leesburg, was taken to Inova’s Loudoun Medical Campus in Leesburg Friday morning and then transported to Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC, and put on life support. The infant died at 5:30 a.m. Sunday. An autopsy was conducted Monday by the Washington, DC, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.

el. David Ramadan (R-87) and Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman hosted an emergency town hall meeting on Friday night at Creighton’s Corner Elementary in Ashburn to address the ongoing vandalism incidents and anti-Hindu hate graffiti in the Brambleton area. More than 150 residents attended the forum. Since July 2014, there have been 17 reported cases of graffiti, some of which use language that disparages the Hindu culture. The vandalism has occurred on signs and bridges in the Brambleton area, including most recently in the areas of Northstar Boulevard, Morning Walk Drive, Winter Haven Drive, Ryan Road at Forest Manor Drive and Shreveport Drive. During Friday’s meeting a discussion of increasing the reward for information in the cases resulted in a commitment from Loudoun County and several leaders of the Indian-American community to contribute another $20,000 to the $1,000 reward fund offered by the Brambleton Homeowners Association. “Northern Virginia is a very diverse community, with individuals and families from all racial, religious and cultural backgrounds,” Ramadan said. “I find it very disturbing that there are individuals who are willing to destroy private property and spew hate against our Hindu neighbors. It was important to hold this meeting to make sure that all members of the community were up-to-date on what steps local officials and law enforcement were taking to ensure the safety and peace in our neighborhoods. There is no room for such hate in our community.” Ramadan and Plowman were joined by Sheriff Mike Chapman, County Chairman Scott York (R-At Large), Vice Chairman Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run), Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles), Senator Jennifer Wexton (D–33), Del. Barbara Comstock (R-34), LCSO Captain Eric Prugh, FBI Special Agent Michael McGarrity, leaders from the Hindu and Telegu communities and from the Rajdhani Mandir temple and other leaders from the Indian-American community. The residents were encouraged to share information with their neighbors and report anything suspicious in their neighborhood. “The information you provide may be the key to helping solve these cases,” Chapman said. County supervisors also last week adopted a resolution formally condemning the graffiti. Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) recalled the community outrage that occurred when antiMuslim graffiti and vandalism occurred after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. “There is no room in this community for idiocy like that,” he said. “There is no place for hate in this community.” “The Indian community in Loudoun is vibrant and is thriving and a very important

part of our fabric,” Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) said, adding the hateful graffiti “does not represent what we are about.” Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) said the county would not tolerate hatred of any group. “Loudoun is an open and welcoming community.” Anyone with any information is asked to contact Deputy First Class R. Ortutay at 571-2464156 or via email at Roy.Ortutay@loudoun.gov. Callers wishing to remain anonymous are asked to call Loudoun County Crime Solvers at 703-7771919.

The Board of Supervisors last week appointed Leo Rogers as the next Loudoun County attorney. Rogers serves as the county attorney in James City County. County Chairman Scott York (R-At Large) said the process to find a replacement for Jack Roberts, who retired in June was well-structured, with nine highly qualified candidates brought before the board for review. “I’m very confident that we’ve picked the best of the best,” he said. Rogers said he has known Roberts for almost 25 years and was looking forward to working with the legal team he assembled during his tenure. Rogers also said he was looking forward to bringing his “skills, creativity and passion” to the position. He will start Nov. 17 under a contract that provides for a base salary of $185,000, a $600 per-month car allowance and up to $10,000 in moving expenses. Rogers was hired as an assistant county attorney in James City County in 1990 and was promoted to deputy county attorney in 1994. He was named county attorney in 2004. Rogers graduated from Rutgers College, where he was a Henry Rutgers Scholar in history, and earned his law degree from the William & Mary Law School. Shortly after the announcement of Rogers’ hiring many of those searching for more information on his background were pointed by Internet search engines to news reports that he was charged in a domestic violence case in 2012. He pleaded not guilty and the judge ultimately dismissed the case. York closed Wednes-

to Leesburg. “We dropped everything,” she said, almost out of breath when she arrived at the courthouse. “They are some of our closest friends so we didn’t want to miss this.” Not all of Cooper’s and Fikes’ friends and family could make the ceremony on such short notice—the couple plans to hold a celebration later this fall—but they felt it was important to get married Monday, the first day they legally could in Virginia, after years of waiting. “We really wanted to jump on the historical aspect of it,” Fikes said. “There’s so much excitement today, we wanted to be a part of that,” Cooper said. The couple thought they would have to wait until the Supreme Court ruled gay marriage legal across the nation before they would be allowed to marry in Virginia, where they’ve lived since 2005. “I’m pleasantly surprised,” Fikes said. The change in the law was not accepted with open arms by everyone and it left some in the local business community asking where gay marriage rights end and freedom of religion begins. One wedding officiate who also runs a wedding planning business and venue in downtown Leesburg asked whether this would eventually prohibit private businesses like his from refusing to perform gay weddings because they feel it goes against their religious beliefs. And in the same vein, can a wedding photographer or a baker refuse service to a gay couple? Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) signed an executive order Tuesday speaking out against any discrimination and directing state agencies— from commissions to universities—to take “appropriate and needed measures” to honor marriage equality. “An open and welcoming environment is imperative…” McAuliffe stated. But the governor’s call to recognize samesex marriage does not legally extend to the private sector, according to Attorney General Mark Herring’s Director of Communications Michael Kelly. “The Commonwealth of Virginia has to treat all couples equally and with respect, and Virginians should treat each other the same way,” he said. Loudoun’s Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary Clemens said if celebrants or ministers decline to perform same-sex weddings, those couples would likely not have trouble finding one who will. “There are numerous celebrants and ministers who are authorized and registered to officiate weddings in Virginia.” It’s not yet clear if the law will now require Loudoun County Public Schools to offer health coverage to same-sex spouses of school employees; the executive order states that all institutions of higher education must comply and that employees of all state agencies may enroll for health benefits within 60 days, but does not mention K-12 school systems. Wayde Byard, spokesman for the school district, said Tuesday the district’s legal counsel is examining the governor’s executive order. Del. Bob Marshall (R-13), a vocal opponent of gay marriage, expressed concerns that the change in the language of the law from defining marriage as between one man and one woman to the “right to marry” could allow people to marry more than one person. He asked for Herring’s official opinion on whether the right could extend to “throuples.” “Once natural marriage is abolished, marriage will soon include polygamy, or threesomes, leaving innocent children to suffer the consequences and other far reaching consequences of attempting to force legal acceptance of socalled same- sex marriage,” he said. By the close of business Tuesday the Loudoun court had issued marriage licenses to six same-sex couples, and Clemens said, “I expect we will have many more as people start to make wedding plans.” n

own and area residents are eager to sample the 20 films that will be shown during the Oct. 30-Nov. 2 Middleburg Film Festival. Founded by Sheila C. Johnson, the festival is now in its second outing. Following its successful debut last fall, the festival has spread its wings and expanded significantly for 2014 as the reputation of the inaugural outing has sparked considerable interest from filmmakers from across the country and internationally. The independent films will be shown at locations around town, including The Hill School, the Middleburg Community Center and Johnson’s Salamander Resort and Spa. This year, visitors have a special treat in store to start the festival. Two nationally known individuals will be honored for their work in film: Oscar winner Colleen Atwood will receive the Distinguished Costume Designer award and Oscar-nominated Marco Beltrami will be recognized as the Distinguished Film Composer. The two will be featured during the festival with indepth conversations and career retrospectives. Atwood will receive her award Friday, Oct. 31, after which a retrospective of her most memorable costumes will be shown. A masquerade ball in her honor will close out the evening. Beltrami will receive the distinguished film composer award the following evening, Saturday, Nov. 1, during which the Shenandoah Conservatory Symphony Orchestra will perform world premieres of concert suites from Beltrami’s scores, including “The Giver, “The Homesman” and “World War Z.” A special touch for Halloween will be added with a performance of Beltrami’s score for “Scream.” Festival Executive Director Susan Koch said event organizers are committed to recognize creative artists who make movies memorable. Atwood is a long-time collaborator with director Tim Burton on his “dark and quirky films,” she said, citing “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street” and “Sleepy Hollow.” Beltrami’s “Scream” movie scores provide rich horror material. The veteran Atwood has been the lead designer of costumes for more than 50 films during her 32-year career, and has three Academy Awards for costume design to her credit. Beltrami has become known to filmmakers for his unconventional approach to scores, especially his humanistic touch for horror and science fiction features. Beltrami studied in Venice under Italian maestro Luigi Nono, and then to Los Angeles, where he undertook a fellowship with Academy award-winning composer Jerry Goldsmith. Beltrami received two Oscar nominations for Best Original Score and is scoring “True Story.” The festival will offer four days of films: a curated selection of narrative and documentary films will be screened in an intimate theater environment, followed by question and answer sessions with world-renowned filmmakers and actors—a highlight for many last year.

the relocation program was an unfunded federal mandate. “This is a fundamental breakdown of the federal government and we’re getting to pay for it.” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said that it could be costing Loudoun more than $2 million to send the children to school, based on the average per student cost of $12,710 in the FY15 budget. “We have a moral obligation to take care of these kids. I’m not saying we don’t,” Buona said. Supervisor Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run) abstained from the vote, saying the plight of the immigrant children and the need for immigration reform were federal issues outside the scope of the Loudoun board. County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) disagreed, saying county leaders had a responsibility to understand the local health and fiscal impacts.

Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) agreed that the board had a responsibility to make sure the children were well cared for in schools and in the community, but also needed to understand the impacts. Loudoun Democrats criticized the supervisors’ action, claiming the all-Republican board was stoking unwarranted fears about the potential of the immigrant children spreading disease. “Demonizing children who come here as refugees who we all know are being sponsored by our federal government, may make a convenient scapegoat to imply they are a financial burden while this board of supervisors continues to throw money away to a fake baseball team and funding gun ranges is simply un-American,” Loudoun County Democratic Committee Chairwoman Valerie Suzdak said before the vote. Her remarks were refuted by supervisors, who said no public funds have been used for the proposed minor league baseball stadium and that the proposed gun range is needed for Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office training. n

ll that makes the two-month-old Middleburg Community Charter School unique was literally on display last week, which marked the end of the school’s first quar-

ter. The hallways and cafeteria were overtaken by student projects in the form of cardboard arcade creations, paper mâché planets, drama performances, dance routines and films. The kindergarten through fifth-grade school opened Aug. 4 as the first public charter school in Northern Virginia. The school’s

curriculum is based on the Leonardo DaVinci Project, which models learning after the thinking habits of the renowned Renaissance genius, encouraging curiosity, persistence and critical thinking. Under that teaching model, each quarter students get an assignment on which they

can collaborate with their parents to complete throughout the nine weeks. In the first quarter, kindergarten through second-grade students were asked to create postcards and stamps that reflect the communities in which they live, while the assignment for third- through fifthgrade students was to invent their own planet. All of the “Family Leo Projects” lined the halls last Thursday for parents, administrators, teachers and fellow students to see. Erin Calley, a fifth-grade student, brainstormed with her older sister and mom to come up with a planet on which marshmallows are the primary food source. The spongy confectionaries even come in the form of vegetables on this planet. Erin said it was different to have an assignment with such few barriers, and to be encouraged to complete it with the help of her family. “I really liked that part of it,” she added.

Loudoun’s Grad Rate Drops Slightly, Still Among Commonwealth’s Best

Danielle Nadler

oudoun County’s high school graduation rate backslid for the first time since the Virginia Department of Education first reported graduation data in 2008, although it is still well above state and national averages. The county’s class of 2014 tallied a 95.2 percent on-time graduation rate—4,504 students out of 4,664 completed high school within four years, while 111 dropped out, according to figures recently released by VDOE. Last year, 96.1 percent of Loudoun high schoolers graduated on time, and 95.7 percent graduated on time in 2012. Loudoun has always boasted a higher graduation rate than most school systems in Virginia. This year, 89.9 percent of Virginia high school seniors graduated on time, and 80 percent nationally.

Loudoun 2014 graduates also out-paced the state average when it comes to earning Advanced Studies diplomas—73.3 percent of graduates this year earned the advanced diplomas while 50.6 percent of graduates around the commonwealth earned advanced diplomas. Of the high schools in Loudoun County, John Champe in Aldie and Stone Bridge in Ashburn logged the highest graduation rates this year with 98.5 percent of students graduating on time. Two of the county’s high schools fell below the state average: Park View (85.5 percent) and Dominion (88 percent), both in Sterling. Rates at the other Loudoun high schools are: Briar Woods (98 percent), Freedom (97.8 percent), Woodgrove (97 percent), Loudoun County (96.7 percent), Loudoun Valley (96.5 percent), Broad Run (95.6 percent), Heritage (95 percent), Potomac Falls (95 percent) and Tuscarora (94.6 percent).

inspired teaching concept gives students a glimpse of real-world problem solving. “They learn to take into account feedback from others, and it allows them to use their creativity without limits.” Of the numerous inventions that Leonardo DaVinci is known for—including the parachute and diving suit—there are hundreds that never came to fruition. Smith said the open-ended assignments “encourages students to explore the endless possibilities early on.” Other events that filled the charter school’s first quarter included swimming lessons at the Middleburg Community Center and a workshop with experts from the Children’s Science Museum that invited students to experience an evening as a scientist. Parents filled the cafeteria for the monthly “Leo Talks,” which are designed to give parents a chance to learn more about the school’s curriculum, hear the latest in educational research and get to know one another. Also special to the charter school is its calendar, which runs from Aug. 4 to June 16 with two-week breaks after each quarter. For the two weeks that follow the first and third quarters the school holds what’s called Intersession, which offers optional additional instruction focused on thematic and handson learning. The classes available to the students over the next two weeks sound like anything but ordinary class offerings, including KidzArt, Minecraft Programming, Lego Robotics, Funky Fitness, Zig Zag Gallery and If I Ran A Circus—A Three Ring Art Experience. n

he Loudoun County Health Department has confirmed a case of pertussis, or whooping cough, at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn. The health department sent letters home to parents Wednesday to urge them to monitor their children for signs of cough and illness. “Pertussis usually begins like a cold, with a runny nose, sneezing and possible mild fever followed later by cough,” the letter from Loudoun County Health Department Director Dr. David Goodfriend states. “The cough typically persists for several weeks. Symptoms may include uncontrolled coughing spells accompanied by difficulty breathing and vomiting.” Goodfriend recommended that children 7 years and younger receive the DTaP immunizations. View the full letter and a fact sheet on pertussis at leesburgtoday. com/education. There are whooping cough cases in the school district several times a year, according to district Public Information Officer Wayde Byard. “We are always proactive in letting parents know.” Last school year, there were 18 cases of whooping cough in Loudoun County, according to Goodfriend.

For Leesburg Today

hough physical skills are required in competitive high school golf, the mental game is equally as vital. That’s why it’s important to feed off others—like a coach, teammates and even those in whose footsteps one must follow. In Loudoun County, golfers have many of these support systems at their disposal. They have motivated coaches who nurture their development. They also have their teammates—fellow competitors who can bolster their own personal quests that, knitted together, form units of strength. And now, they even have a role model in Billy Hurley III, a former Loudoun County Raider and U.S. Naval Academy studentathlete who had a breakout season on the PGA Tour this past year. “There are a lot of good kids in this area,” Adam Harrell, the director of the Elite Performance Golf Academy at Westpark Golf Course in Leesburg, said. “Loudoun County is up and coming in terms of quality golf and there’s no better indication than that of Loudoun County and Dominion high schools’ recent successes.”

This year, the core group turned “senior strong” and its impact helped win Loudoun County a conference title. At the conference championship held at Algonkian Golf Course, the Raiders were led by Odenwaldt, who fired a 72 to finish third. He was followed by Bolyard in fourth (74) and Graham in sixth (75). Cunningham, meanwhile, was the team’s fourth scorer with a fine 76. Rounding out the conference participants were Teasdale (78) and Jack Von Kleeck (81). Although the Raiders faltered in regionals, they enjoyed an outstanding regular season that resulted in the Conference 21 title. When asked about the future of Loudoun County golf without his three seniors, Signorelli said the program will continue to progress. “Odenwaldt is a natural,” he said. “He doesn’t over-think. He thinks just enough. He doesn’t look like a golfer, with shoulder length

That’s a message I try to relate to my students and my players as well.” Signorelli took over a Raiders program that he said had “zero returning players” following the retirement of the previous coach. His team won only one match in his first year, but behind a freshman trio of Zach Bolyard, Graham and Cunningham, fortunes eventually changed. As juniors, the trio-led team won the conference tournament, placed second in the regional tournament and finished fourth in the state with Paul Odenwaldt (who is one year behind the others) finishing second in the state individually.

Many performers find that as their reputations grow, they develop a fan base ready to follow them to wineries around the county and beyond. “You go out to these vineyards and people enjoy the vibe and they end up going to another vineyard because you’re there and they end up trying a new place,” said Alexandria-based singer/songwriter Jason Masi, 34, a regular on Loudoun’s winery music circuit. Masi moved to Northern Virginia in 2010 and got his first gig at Quattro Goomba’s Winery

Jason Masi, a frequent face at Loudoun wineries, played at Hunter’s Run Winery Sunday while guests sipped wine on the patio.

“I like them to have a personality and interact with people, but they also need to know when to sit back and just play,” Hunters Run owner Geri Nolan said. “I typically look for a solo act, a duo at the most, that are sort of low key and don’t think they’re playing at Nissan Pavilion.” Nolan pointed out that there’s an atmosphere of mutual support among musicians on the winery circuit, and they generally help each other out, spreading the word about gigs and making introductions. More established musicians often invite others to sit in, introducing them to the winery management and to audiences, Nolan said. Lenny Burridge, one of the godfathers of the Tuskie’s Wine Trail winery music scene, is one of those connectors. BurMichaela Anne performed at Chrysalis Vineyards’ 13th ridge, 48, who lives in Blueannual Norton Wine and Bluegrass Festival Saturday. mont, has been playing in of his gigs at wineries.

other musicians get winery gigs. Burridge, who runs a weekly open mic in Leesburg, has a reputation for informally helping musicians over the years. For him, there’s a direct parallel with the way area wineries cooperate and cross promote as the industry grows. “When I started eight years ago I had really good musicians that helped me and took me under their wing and they still do,” Burridge said. “Music is not a competition. The winemakers are that way… Some of the wines they make are grown on another vineyard’s property. Music should be the same way…Lord knows there’s plenty of wineries to go around.” Music lovers looking for great music in a great setting have no shortage of options and styles. Winery players include full-time musicians and weekend players, songwriters who focus on originals and cover specialists. For Masi, a singer/songwriter who will be releasing his latest album later this month, his devoted fans look forward to his original material, as well as his eclectic repertoire of covers ranging from Al Green to Waylon Jennings. “Each winery is a little bit different. I feel like when I’ve established myself in a place, I can do more original stuff. There’s a degree of familiarity that it’s good to have,” Masi said. “I look at my job primarily as going out and making sure everybody has a good experience. Sometimes I play originals all day and sometimes it’s covers all day…I’m gauging the crowd and seeing what fits best for that particular place.” 8 Chains North Winery near Waterford has focused on originals up to this point because Continued on Page 32

histories of each year’s winners are encapsulated in video form and shared with high school students and archived at Thomas Balch Library. Looking back on his long career, Boling cited the major contributions of which he said he was very proud. The first was “the ability to serve the community for the long term—that’s always been my greatest goal.” When he came to Middleburg Bank in 1993, there were about four community banks operating in Loudoun. By the following year, there was only one—Middleburg Bank. “There was a lot of stress at the end of that cycle, so to remain independent and build the organization to being the largest operating company with the largest market share was my biggest joy and pride,” Boling said. He’s also proud of having served on the board of Loudoun Hospital “in some of its darkest hours—not all of its own making,” he said, noting the impacts of Medicare payment reductions, managed care contracts and other industry factors with which the independent healthcare organization struggled before its merger with Inova Health System. “To be a part of that and to help maintain it to be able to survive is a big point of pride,” Boling said. Another big community contribution, Boling said, is his involvement in the Middleburg-based Windy Hill Foundation, of which he is the president. The foundation helps provide housing for people earning less than 30 percent of the median income and struggling to live and work in Loudoun. He is particularly proud that the foundation’s emphasis on workforce housing has given it wider exposure county-wide, noting it is now one of the Chamber of Commerce’s top priorities.

Boling also was an active member of the county’s Economic Development Commission and helped to assemble the CEO Cabinet. “It helped focus CEOs on community related issues,” he said. Longtime Loudoun physician John “Jack” Cook’s contributions have been extensive in the medical field. “Basically, they are recognizing my contributions to the general excellence of the medical profession in Loudoun,” he said this week. When he looked back through the list of previous laureates, Cook quipped, “It was about time we had a doctor in there.” In addition to feeling gratified, Cook said he was a bit scared at the prospect of Friday’s celebration. He has been a major player in the medical field for about 35 years, playing a key role as Loudoun’s medical fraternity morphed from general practice to the era of the specialist. Cook also has been heavily involved in the business side of the procession. Over his career, he has spearheaded the construction of three medical professional offices. The first was the 40,000-square-foot Sterling Medical Office. That was followed by the 130,000-square-foot Loudoun Professional Offices at the Lansdowne campus of Inova Loudoun Hospital. His third building was the 100,000-square-foot Cornwall Pavilion at the Cornwall Campus of Inova Loudoun Hospital in Leesburg. But his major contribution, Cook said, to the furtherance of the medical profession in Loudoun was “bringing critical care up to standard in Loudoun.” And it’s his position and leadership in the vanguard of that move to bring an increasing number of specialists to Loudoun that will be highlighted Friday. That effort began with the establishment of the ICU at Loudoun Memorial Hospital, and, along with specialist Dr. Bob Herron, bringing new cardiology techniques to Loudoun. The mid-to-late 1970s and early 1980s was a pivotal time for the Loudoun medical field, when a raft of what Cook calls “cognitive specialists” came in at approximately the same time, expanding local services beyond those offered by general practitioners. As Cook looks back on that time when a lot of “really good, forward-looking people” came to Loudoun, he’s proud of Loudoun’s focus on keeping “a very flat hierarchy” in the Inova group, keeping close to people on the line for its day to day operations. His Cornwall Pavilion, opened in 2008, is very successful, now leased 100 percent. At age 78, Cook has no plans to retire. Not yet, he says, noting the American Board of Internal Medicine requires physicians to show continuing proficiency. Besides, “I really, really love the people I take care of.” Morrow also is looking forward to Friday night, as he has done from the beginning. “Loudoun County is a special place; and one of the things that is special about it is the people who’ve lived here.” Often these are people who are unknown, and the purpose of the program was to seek out and honor them, as well as to capture their stories for oral history, as part of the continuing story of the county housed at the Balch Library, he said. As laureates, Boling and Cook join a list of past honorees that includes Childs F. Burden, Stanley Caulkins, Fred Drummond, G. Kimball Hart, Edgar Hatrick, Joe T. May, James P. Roberts, Karen Hatcher Russell, Eugene M. Scheel, Robert E. Sevila, Lang and Judy Washburn, Su Webb and Paul Ziluca. n

Winery Circuit Continued from Page 24

of licensing concerns, but recently set up licensing agreements with ASCAP and other music licensing organizations and will now focus on both originals and covers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of the best of both worlds,â&#x20AC;? General Manager Sydney Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It allows us to cater to what our guests are asking for but at the same time allows us to bring in musicians with a repertoire of their own music theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to showcase.â&#x20AC;? For most musicians, playing a winery is often a pleasure because of the lack of distractions, mellow and friendly crowds and audiences open to a range of offerings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At a winery you can stretch it really wide [in terms of style of music]. You have people who are in their twenties and people in their sixties and you usually have a more attentive audience because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not watching a ballgame or anything like that,â&#x20AC;? Burridge said. The typical winery schedule is also a plus for many musicians. Music is generally scheduled Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday afternoons. This allows some full-time musicians to play weekend evenings at other venues after a winery show. And for others, it allows for a more relaxed schedule and a change from the bar scene. The mellow vibe and afternoon schedule are key for Pete Lapp, 44, an FBI agent during the week and a regular at wineries on weekends. Lapp, a Leesburg-based cover specialist, plays venues where he enjoys hanging out. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been fortunate in that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been able to build a relationship with wineries that I like to go to myself,â&#x20AC;? Lapp said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of them has their own really cool thing about them. Whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the vibe or the atmosphere or the wine. Every one has a really cool strength that as a musician draws you to it and makes you want to play and help build their business and at the same time make music and grow a following.â&#x20AC;? While the typical act is a guy playing guitar solo, duos like high energy Steele and Oglevee, and Sweetnova, made up of husband and wife duo Amy and Luke Denton, also are big draws.

Lovettsvilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sam Kroiz said winery gigs often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pay the going rate for his old-time bluegrass trio, the Short Hill Mountain Boys. But the band does play regular gigs at DoukĂŠnie Winery near Hillsboro and has branched out to other spots near its western Loudoun base, including Creekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Edge and North Gate. The band brings a strong local following to winery gigs, but for Kroiz, 31, they are also a way to move beyond the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong local following and catch the attention of out-of-towners. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different crowd because there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really that many local people,â&#x20AC;? Kroiz said of the typical weekend afternoon gig at DoukĂŠnie. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The normal winery gig seems like a lot of city folks. They get a kick out of the hillbilly music and have a

good time.â&#x20AC;? Female soloists also are breaking into the scene as well. Emily Guagliardi, 24, is a young singer known for her folksy, singer/songwriter style and her shows at 8 Chains always draw a crowd, Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took me a while to get my foot in the door, but I did so through persistence (emails, phone calls, showing up to the venues). From there, I just kept trying until I got a chance. I had a lot of wonderful folks help me along the way through word of mouth as well, which I am very grateful for. I love the winery scene. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wonderful to perform locally and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting that the winemakers who run these wineries find me fit to play at their venues,â&#x20AC;? Gua-

Loudoun Musicians Showcase New Releases In DC

wo Loudoun winery circuit favorites, Jason Masi and Ken Wenzel, will be crossing the Potomac to perform a joint CD release concert at Washington, DCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, The Hamilton Thursday, Oct. 16. Wenzel and his band Cross Kentucky celebrate the release of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beneath Potomac Skies,â&#x20AC;? a roots rock, jazz-tinged take on love, learning and life in the DC area and beyond. Masiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new album â&#x20AC;&#x153;Power of a Womanâ&#x20AC;? showcases his soulful, reflective yet lighthearted songwriting style. The event is sure to draw fans from Loudoun who have got to know these musicians from their regular shows on the winery scene. The Hamilton is located at 600 14th St. NW, Washington, DC. Tickets are $15. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and music starts at 7:30 p.m. n

gliardi said. Booking music has also become an increasingly important part of a winery managerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job, with some using agencies and others working directly with musicians. Susan Pratt, operations manager at the Barns of Hamilton Station, now books the venueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s music up to a year in advance. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s become a big part of the winery experience, she said, and is expected by patrons on weekend afternoons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It brings more people in if they can come and sit and relax with music,â&#x20AC;? Pratt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We keep our favorites coming back. n

A Gift

any accolades rained down upon John Wells last week as he retired from a decade of service as Leesburg’s town manager and more then 30 years of dedication to the Loudoun community. In his early years of service with the county government starting in 1982, Wells was among a cadre of young managers—most of them dedicated students of government—selected by then-County Administrator Phillip A. Bolen to prepare Loudoun for an unimaginable wave of growth. That generation of government leaders, working with a pendulum of pro-growth and slow-growth boards of supervisors, was largely responsible for the quality of life enjoyed by residents today. Wells was no small cog in that wheel; in fact, he played critical roles all along the way. A key architect, with former County Administrator Kirby Bowers and current CFO Ben Mays, Wells helped develop, and enforce, the fiscal policies that safely steered the county through a series of deep recessions and earned top level triple-A bond ratings. He also was most often the executive Bolen or Bowers would turn to when things went wrong. He was the designated problem-solver who smoothed over controversies and catastrophes. He came to those solutions, not by imposing his expertise on whatever situation was at hand, but by listening to the competing views of all involved and helping them craft a creative alternative that hadn’t been considered previously. There is little doubt that Wells would have ascended to Loudoun’s county administrator post himself, but his love of Leesburg brought him to the town government instead. And he brought those same attributes of fiscal management, problem solving and listening to his role as town manager and achieved much the same positive results. Like Bolen and Bowers before him, Wells enters retirement leaving behind a staff well situated to continue the standards of stewardship he worked to instill. That is his gift to the town. Leesburg leaders can give something back to him by ensuring that legacy of leadership continues.

Dear Editor: he report of hateful and bigoted graffiti such as “No Hindus” and “Go home, Hindus” scrawled on property in the Brambleton community filled me with disgust, anger and sadness. Religious intolerance, racism, prejudice and xenophobia have no place in Loudoun County ever. We are a diverse county, and are becoming more so every day. We celebrate the diversity of all our residents, including their talents, cultures, creeds, and contributions. From many different strands we are weaving a fabric that is rich, vibrant and strong. To our neighbors, friends, and fellow citizens in the Hindu community, I want to assure you that you are welcome in Loudoun County and valued for all you do. This is your

Poor Choice Dear Editor: On the front cover of the last week’s Leesburg Today issue, you have the article—The Training Police ‘Never Want To Use’—right next to the article of Officer Hood in Purcellville being cleared in the shooting death of Christian Sierra. Moreover,

your article takes an already tragic situation and details paragraph after paragraph the troubles of Christian Sierra. Summarizing what is in public record in the way you did without taking any effort to show the goodness that this young man had is at best sad journalism. You resigned his legacy as a troubled teen who basically got what was coming. By placing the Loudoun police training article (showing police with guns drawn), right next to this community wrenching story, you have done nothing to help the relationship between the citizens and police of Loudoun County. Especially the growing mistrust of their use of lethal force and militant presence in our community. Your picture choice on the front cover and on page 30 only show police training to use their guns. You missed an opportunity to show police working with our community. While your article sought to ask about police training because of the three police shootings in the past year, please appreciate that your editorial decision to show police with guns drawn next to an article clearing an officer in a community tragedy, and then documenting Christian Sierra’s public record troubles and the intimate details of that day is awful. Perhaps at some point, you could take the time and write an additional article on the growing mental health challenges our teens are facing in Loudoun County, and perhaps take the time to share the goodness of Christian Sierra, and his greatness we missed by not getting him the help he needed.

Dear Editor: The Potomac River is a Loudoun County treasure—drawing visitors from Northern Virginia year-round to hike along, bird watch, and sail in its waters. Along with the Potomac, other local waterways such as Beaverdam Reservoir and Goose Creek support dozens upon dozens of small businesses that foster both a sense of community and make for a strong local economy. Crooked Run Brewing, in Leesburg, is a great example of a small business that takes pride in and relies on high quality water throughout Northern Virginia. Founded by Jake Endres through a Kickstarter Campaign in 2013, the brewery prides itself on drawing crowds to sample its beers made from local ingredients. Crooked Run has had 30 different types of beer on tap. It is even distributing a new flagship beer at the request of customers in the coming week. To serve amazing local beer, Crooked Run needs the support of clean local waterways. For this reason Crooked Run’s business model depends upon the health of the rivers and lakes in Northern Virginia. We should be doing everything we can to protect our waterways. But far too many of the streams and wetlands that flow into the Potomac and area reservoirs, along with 57 percent of the streams that crisscross our state, don’t have guaranteed protections under the Clean Water Act. That means developers could build over our wetlands; oil companies, power plants, or meat processing plants could dump into our streams; and federal law couldn’t stop them, thanks to a loophole created by a pair of polluter-driven lawsuits nearly a decade ago. The loophole leaves vulnerable the wetlands and streams that feed into the Potomac River, Goose Creek and other popular area rivers and lakes; and that leaves businesses like Crooked Run Brewing more vulnerable, too. Fortunately, in March, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposed a rule to close this loophole and restore protections to 28,000 miles of streams across Virginia, and nearly 2 million across the country.

A broad coalition of clean water advocates, farmers, mayors, small businesses, and tens of thousands of Virginians have heralded the EPA move. However, agribusinesses, oil and gas companies, and other polluters affected by the rule have waged a bitter campaign against it, and earlier this month, the U.S. House approved a bill, HR 5078, to block the new rule. Disappointingly, among those voting in favor of the measure and against clean water safeguards were seven Virginia representatives, including Rep. Frank Wolf, whose district encompasses a large portion of the Potomac River border. There’s still time and the opportunity to get these restored protections across the finish line. EPA is taking public comments on their proposal now. In the face of all the opposition from the polluters, it’s critical that all Virginians who value clean water make their voices heard, and it’s critical that Senators Tim Kaine and Mark Warner stand up for these rules if they come before them in the Senate. Virginians depend on clean water to enjoy and to drink. Businesses like Crooked Run Brewing depend on clean water to make a living. Let’s do everything we can to foster a good economy and a high quality of life for generations to come. Jessie Mehrhoff, Environment Virginia

A Crock

Dear Editor: It is my opinion that the Oct. 2 editorial cartoon contained one of the biggest crocks of bull that any of them have ever possessed. I have voted in every election for over 60 years, and still drive with a current Virginia license. The DMV will gladly give a picture ID to anyone who no longer has a license. You must have ID to get welfare and to say that it is difficult to get a picture ID is a base canard. Just who is this “they,” “that must not want you to vote?” Could it be the Democratic official now being prosecuted for voting 20 times? Marvin Shoaf, Sterling

Dear Editor: I applaud the Leesburg Town Council’s endorsement of the Solarize Leesburg/Loudoun initiative led by non-profit LEAP-VA. This initiative is a win-win in so many respects. First, residents who sign up by Nov. 30 will receive a free solar site assessment and an energy efficiency consultation to conserve energy and reduce electricity bills. Second, qualified residents will save up to 25 percent on monthly

electricity bills. Third, Loudoun’s local economy will be stimulated since highly qualified, local companies will install U.S.-made solar panels. Fourth, solar panels will lower homeowner’s carbon footprint and help Virginia meet its Clean Power Plan objective to increase solar power. Fifth, it will be a step toward meeting the Loudoun County Energy Strategy, adopted by the Board of Supervisors in 2009, to install 25 megawatts of solar energy by 2016. Solar energy is a carbon-free source of energy that, together with wind and water, will power the clean energy economy of the future. Did you know that Loudoun County residents and more than 1,000 Virginians joined 400,000 Americans in New York City on Sept. 21, 2014? This historic gathering urged the UN Climate Committee to make a rapid transition to 21st century clean, renewable energy, such as solar. The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors would do well to take a lesson from the Town of Leesburg and support clean, renewable solar energy. “We do not inherit our Earth, we borrow it from our children”—Chinese Proverb.
