First Same-Sex Couples Exchange Vows In Loudoun Danielle Nadler

C la ssif ie d O pi nio n

Leesburg Today/Danielle Nadler

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 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. Loudoun County Health Director Dr. 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. Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) said 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 Continued on Page 30

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 Virginia and sought information on the immunization status of immigrants assigned to public schools.

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-

opportunity for us to make a play for this seat,” Matt Thornton, House Majority PAC communications director, said of the Democratic super PAC’s decision to reserve almost $780,000 in airtime on the race. 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.

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 INFANT DEATH UNDER neighborhoods.

eesburg Town Councilmember Tom Dunn thinks he has a way to combat instances of loitering in town. The mayoral candidate outlined his proposed “We Can Work” program last week in response to his concern that businesses are having to take action to keep loiterers off their properties. “It is a shame that a business owner in an effort to provide a comfortable experience for its customers has to place chain-link fences between the sidewalk and the owner’s property in an effort to keep loiterers away,” Dunn said. This was a reference to the area beside the 7-Eleven store on Plaza Street, where day laborers gather in the hopes of picking up work. According to the Leesburg Police Department, there have been 62 total loitering complaints so far this year. The 7-Eleven area—at 24 and 22 Plaza Street NE—has accounted for 21, more than one-third of the total calls. The only other recurring complaint location is the shopping center of 64 Plaza St., with five total occurrences. “That’s roughly seven calls a month for loitering,” Leesburg Police Lt. Jeff Dubé said. “It’s in various parts of the town, but that’s all we’ve had.” The 7-Eleven at 22 Plaza built fences on the edge of its property a few years ago. “When we get the calls, if they are on a business property, we work with the business owners and try to come up with solutions to address these issues,” Dubé said. “We assist in any way we can through our community policing program.” Dunn said finding real work for day laborers would address the problem. He proposes that day laborers get job training, language skills, job-searching help, transportation assistance and even childcare services from businesses, civic groups and churches. “We in Leesburg want to help you find the regular work and experience you need and desire to help yourself and provide for your family,” Dunn said. “You should not have to loiter to become a

During the public input section of last week’s board meeting, speaker after speaker objected to the proposal, citing concerns about reduced property values, noise, lights and the health impacts of living close to electromagnetic fields. Supervisors deferred action on the application until its Oct. 15 meeting because Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge), whose district includes the property, was absent during last week’s meeting.

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 Wednesday’s meeting by reading a formal statement addressing that issue. “We are aware of the incident in which he was found not guilty of domestic abuse due to lack of evidence, and we would like to point out that his record was expunged, which legally means the case does not exist. We would point out that Mr. Rogers brought this to our attention at the beginning of the selection process in July. This gave us time to fully vet the incident and to confirm the facts around the media reports that have surfaced.” .

County Notebook

• Planning Director Julie Pastor is the latest senior county administrator to announce

her retirement plans. Pastor will retire in January after 22 years in the position. County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) was the Sterling District planning commissioner when Pastor was interviewed for the job. “It seems just like yesterday,” he told her last week. “We appreciate your good work.” • The process of adopting names for two future Metrorail stations in Loudoun is inching along. Last week, supervisors agreed on a list of preliminary name options to be included in community surveys. For the Rt. 606 station at the northern edge of Dulles Airport, early options include Broad Run, Dulles North, Loudoun Gateway, Loudoun East, Dulles Gateway and Loudoun-Dulles North. For the Rt. 772 station, name options include Ashburn, Loudoun and Loudoun Gateway. Next up will be an online survey, two community engagement sessions, a public input session and a survey of Loudoun Transit riders. The board is expected to select its favored names Dec. 3. Then the Washington Metropolitan Area Transportation Authority board of directors will make the final decisions. • The county government has implemented a new format for the online version of the 1993 Revised Zoning Ordinance. The changes are aimed at making the document easier to use and search. The online version can be found at www.loudoun.gov/zoningordinance. The Department of Planning and Zoning invites comments on the new format via email at dpz@ loudoun.gov/. • The competition pool at the Claude Moore Recreation Center was closed Tuesday after an overhead light fixture unhinged and shattered, requiring the pool to be drained and cleaned. It was not immediately known when the pool would reopen. Updates will be posted online atwww.loudoun.gov/claudemoorerec . n

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

ate 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

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 “appropri-

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 so-called samesex 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

Texas Ebola Victim Had Dulles Airport Layover

he man who became the first person diagnosed in the United States with the Ebola virus flew into and from Dulles Airport, United Airlines reported Oct 1. Authorities said there was no threat to public health during that period. The man was traveling to Dallas, TX, from Liberia, but did not develop symptoms until four days after his arrival in the U.S. on Sept. 20, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. United Airlines said the man flew to Dulles from Brussels, Belgium, on Flight 951 Sept. 20, and departed from Dulles to Dallas on Flight 822 the same day. The airline said the CDC has assured them that there is “zero risk” of anyone on the flight being infected with Ebola because the man had no symptoms at the time. Ebola is a virus with strains that can be deadly. This summer’s virus outbreak in West Africa is the largest in history, according to the CDC, and has been declared an epidemic. Symptoms include a fever greater than 101.5F, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain and unexplained hemorrhage (bleeding or bruising.) Symptoms appear from two to 21 days after exposure, but the average is eight to 10 days. Recovery depends on a patient’s immune response, the CDC said. The virus is only contagious after a person begins exhibiting symptoms. In the case of the first U.S. patient, he fell ill on Sept. 24, sought medical care at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas on Sept. 26 and was admitted to the hospital on Sept. 28. Ebola is spread by direct contact— through broken skin or mucous membranes—with blood or bodily fluids, needles and syringes contaminated with the virus and infected animals. Ebola is not spread through the air or by water. “While the CDC states it is unnecessary for it or the airline to contact others who were on the patient’s flights, United is providing information about the flights United believes the patient took, based on information provided by the CDC,” the airline said in a news release. “We are ensuring our employees have this information and suggest that any customers who have concerns contact the experts at the CDC for further information.” For information on the CDC, go to www. cdc.gov/dcs, or call 1-800-232-4636.

Foust, Comstock Each Promise To Protect Federal Workforce

Democrat John Foust and Republican Barbara Comstock sat down for separate interviews with the editors of Northern Virginia Media Services. Scott McCaffrey

he two main candidates vying to succeed U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10th) may disagree on a host of issues, but each is pledging to continue Wolf’s work in support of federal employees. In separate interviews Oct. 3 with editors of Northern Virginia Media Services, both Republican Barbara Comstock and Democrat John Foust promised to serve as a bulwark against those seeking to downsize or otherwise hinder the federal workforce. “Our federal employees are part of the solution,” said Comstock, who said it was usually political appointees at the top of agencies and departments that cause headline-making prob-

lems and scandals. “Every federal employee here knows better than their boss … know how to solve those problems,” she said. “We need to empower those masses.” Foust, too, said a lack of respect for federal workers on Capitol Hill needs to be combated. “Congress has gone after this fiscal challenge we face basically on the backs of federal employees,” he said. Foust generally praised Wolf ’s 32-year tenure as it related to the federal workforce—Wolf “has always stepped up for the federal employees,” he said—but suggested the Republican had “let them down” by embracing, if only temporarily, those calling for the most recent government shutdown.

party in the House of Representatives, a status not likely to engender a great deal of independence, compared with what Wolf has carved out. “It’s always going to be tough,” Comstock acknowledged, but said her contacts on Capitol Hill would help her serve constituents better than Foust would. “You have to do what you think is right for your constituents—and what is right for the country,” she said. Foust said he aims to be known as someone who can make friends with Republicans for the greater good. “I absolutely respect where people come from, even if they don’t agree with me,” he said. “If people want to yell at me and beat on me, I’m OK with that. I think I’ve earned a lot of respect.” n

“They damaged a lot of people in the process,” Foust said. Comstock said she was no fan of cuts imposed under the federal sequestration process. “It’s irresponsible,” she said of what occurred last year and continues today. Given the composition of the 10th District, support for the needs of the federal workforce is expected, and opposition to it might be politically suicidal. Wolf and the two previous occupants of the seat—Republican Joel Broyhill (1953-73) and Democrat Joseph Fisher (1974-80)—may have had wildly varying views on many issues, but each made sure they put the needs of federal workers high on their priority lists. If she wins, Comstock will be a junior member in what is likely to remain the majority

he Hillsboro Community Association and the Town of Hillsboro will stage the town’s first Heritage Day Saturday, Oct. 18. The event is designed to raise funds for the ongoing restoration of the town-owned Old Stone School. As one of the smallest incorporated towns in Virginia, being among a handful of communities with just under 100 inhabitants, Hillsboro is eagerly awaiting the opportunity to celebrate its rich history, which dates back to the early part of the 18th century. The town really began to come into its own when the Indian tribes in the area agreed to move west of the Shenandoah in the 1722 Treaty of Albany, eventually becoming one of the earliest Quaker communities in the area and a profitable trading post, situated as it was on the route through the gap in the mountain, along today’s Rt. 9. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., the day will be filled with activities, including a craft fair and farmers market, an art show, plenty of live music, beer and wine, food, presentations and book signings, guided tours of the historic town, storytelling, a chili cook off, games and a time capsule to mark the town’s first Heritage Day. Among the well-known faces present Oct. 18 will be Loudoun historian and Mosby Heritage Area Association Director of Education Rich Gillespie, as will author Marc Leepson, with copies of his recent “What So Proudly We hailed: Francis Scott Key, A Life.” The Blue Ridge Thunder Cloggers will perform and the Old 690 Brewing Company and Mad Horse Brewery will be in the Beer Garden, while nearby Breaux Vineyards will have its wines on hand. Stonemason Carl Stohl will lead tours of the town and visitors can drop off letters to

be included in the time capsule. Area artists and crafters will show their work and the Loudoun County Tree Stewards will lead a tree walk. For those who love stories of the past, residents who grew up in the area and attended the Old Stone School (the former Locust Grove Academy) will share their memories with the public. Small animals, including alpacas from the Double 8 Alpaca Ranch, will be featured, and there will be old-fashioned games, including tug of war, hula hoops, jump rope, jacks and hopscotch. Barbecue lunches from the Hill Tom Market will be available for purchase, while the Homestead Traditions club will hold a chili cookoff, and the HCA will have brats and hot dogs. The Round Hill Arts Center will provide a pottery demonstration and an art project for kids. Hillsboro Heritage Day is sponsored by a host of local businesses and individuals, including Martha Allen, Browning Equipment, Carlyle & Anderson, Inc., Chunk of Happiness, eink, Cynthia Elliott, Event Studio, Fieldstone Farm Bed and Breakfast, Luke Greer, Giant, Meredith Bean McMath, Harris Teeter, Laney Oxman, and Silverbrook Farm Bed and Breakfast.

Devine’s insistence on fairness was influential in shaping how the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office came to its decisions, Elizabeth Whiting, longtime local government attorney, who first knew Devine when she was a general practitioner, said. “My impression of him was as a fundamentally decent and fundamentally fair individual— absolutely critical in a prosecutor,” she said. And that was part of the “umbrella Don created for the office; they were all encouraged to have that perspective,” Whiting said. “He created the breathing space to take risks, not ruling by public opinion. He also understood human frailty. He understood people made mistakes and that the criminal justice system had to balance the need for punishment with the need to provide a path to redemption,” she said. Beyond his love of law, his wife and his five children, Devine’s other great love was of tennis, of which he was a canny exponent. Some men look immaculate in whites—Don Devine was not among them. My first acquaintance of Devine was on the Waterford clay tennis court, where he and the late Brewster Cornwall were on and off reigning men’s champions for years. As I pulled up to join the line of cars lining the court, I saw this rumpled figure about to serve at the far end of the court. His shorts were falling off bony shanks, what looked like a white ruffly ladies hat was crammed on his head and a fat cigar lolled out of his mouth. That cigar would be his trademark for years—until medical advice forced him to adopt something less (but only slightly less) injurious to his health. While not possessing great power, he was very accurate with his strokes and, as longtime friend and tennis foe John DeCourcy recalled, “he didn’t overpower you—he would just hit it where you couldn’t reach it.” DeCourcy sometimes was a substitute for the famous Sunday morning tennis fours on the old hospital courts (now under the cement parking area for the Inova Loudoun Nursing and Rehabilitation Center). The regular foursome was Devine, Penn, Timmy Jenkins and Cornwall, all of whom lived nearby on Cornwall Street. I remembered watching their games from my husband’s room in Loudoun Memorial Hospital as he recuperated from an automobile accident in 1970. I particularly recall one morning, watching Devine in early January, assiduously sweeping snow off the court with a battered old broom, cigar in place. Devine and Penn loved to sing old songs around the piano after the Waterford Tournament, and the two would vie to see who could best remember the words of favorite old chestnuts, in increasingly off-note voices. Another Leesburg friend and tennis player, retired physician Tom Gates, knew Devine in the mid-to-late 1970s. “I always found him to have this dry sense of humor, and his love of playing tennis was infectious.” Gates recalled many great hours fooling around with Devine and his many tools that he kept out back, along with a Bass Ale or two. Any reflection on Devine always comes back to his sense of what was right morally. I remember his telling me once, when speaking of someone whose actions he did not approve, “Fella’s got no intestinal fortitude.” Don Devine certainly had that in spades. n

appreciation of which side of the white line the ball falls can depend on whether they’re winning or losing. Not Don Devine—if he said it was in, it was in, and if it was out, it was out—no matter whom it benefited. Horne also remembered Devine’s love of drawing little cartoons—a tendency recalled by his oldest son, Don Devine Jr., who remembered the two had fun playing a game of doodle. “He’d do a line, then I’d do one,” he said. He also remembered his father admonishing him, “you don’t go to college to get a job, you go to get an education.” Horne stayed as the commonwealth’s attorney for two years before moving to the Circuit Court bench in 1982. Burch was appointed by Judge Penn to fill the remainder of Horne’s term. He then ran for the office, which he held from 1982 to 1996. Now retired and living in Florida, Burch said, “My recollection of Don is as amazingly fair-minded, but just as sharp as he could be, intelligent and very quick.” The hallmark of good trial attorneys, then and now, Burch said, is “knowing the rules of evidence—that’s especially important for prosecutors. That’s how you prevailed in cases,” and he took Devine’s observations very much to heart. Evidence was key to him, both in court and at home. Walter Devine recalled one youthful escapade in which he had transgressed, but because there was no firm evidence, his father refused to punish him. Burch also loved his sense of humor. “He was always a joy to be around. We were a very small office, we partied together, everyone was friends.” Robin, a longtime Leesburg attorney who now is general counsel to the Loudoun County Economic Development Authority, also recalled the time he spent under Devine. Hired as the third assistant commonwealth’s attorney, he said the group used to joke about Devine’s somewhat helter skelter organizational skills. “We used to say he was a “Columbo type (referring to the popular TV detective), but he had extremely good legal instincts.” One highly positive side to Devine’s personality, according to Robin, was his sympathy to the human plight. “If someone came with a story that was unfortunate, he was personally quite sympathetic; you definitely had the feeling he was understanding in that aspect,” he said. His quick reaction to need and seizing whatever was at hand is well illustrated in a personal incident concerning this reporter and her husband. We were not long married, and at the time Devine was our lawyer. It’s not everyone who has their first will (at least the basics) drawn up on the back of a paper napkin over breakfast in the Leesburg Diner, but that was our experience. With no notepad on his person, he seized the obvious alternative. In due course, a perfectly typed, fulsome legal document turned up for signature. Devine’s tenure in office was not without incident, in that he had one of the more unconventional “wins,” when he ran in 1975 against Jean Clements. The countywide vote ended in a tie. Burch well recalled the final outcome in which Devine emerged the winner. “I was there,” he said. He recalled that there were more votes cast than registered voters in the Hamilton precinct. So, by agreement of the two candidates, 12 of the ballots were put into a box. One was taken out and the name on that ballot was the loser—Clements.

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” Continued on Next Page

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

gressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC with ties to the GOP House leadership. “Barbara Comstock has already proven she’s a strong local leader and candidate who will build on Frank Wolf’s legacy and bring her own experience as a problem solver to Congress.” From the Democratic House Majority PAC, Thornton agreed money spent in the Foust-Comstock race is money well spent. He cited a poll the super PAC released Tuesday that showed Foust trailing Comstock by two points, an improvement over polls from the summer and over a poll conducted by Republican firm The Tarrance Group released this week that shows a 12-point gap. “I think it’s clear we’ve been seeing a lot of positive movement in Foust’s numbers, and I think it’s an indication that as people hear more about Comstock’s record and what she wants to do in Congress they are moving away from her.” While super PACs cannot give directly to candidates, Foust and Comstock have been busy leaning into party celebrities to raise finances for their campaign coffers. Last week, Mitt Romney headlined a Comstock fundraiser in McLean, while across town Nancy Pelosi was a guest of honor at a Foust fundraiser the same night. n

ne of Loudoun’s newest independent charitable organizations has just received its 501(c)(3) status. The milestone was announced by Mobile Hope’s new director of philanthropy—former Loudoun Interfaith Relief Executive Director Bonnie Inman. Earlier this year, Mobile Hope, under the initiative of its founder and CEO Donna Fortier, moved away from Inova Loudoun Hospital to become an independent entity focusing on youth homelessness. Fortier has been the inspiration and driving force behind the push to increase public awareness and ease the plight of those 21 years old or younger who are considered at risk, precariously housed or homeless in Loudoun—those she calls “our most vulnerable.” Mobile Hope had been supported by Inova Loudoun Hospital for several years, and other human services providers also had provided assistance, but Fortier realized the need was so great that it required the more concentrated focus an independent organization. The pursuit of exempt status has been in the works for some months, but Fortier was elated at receiving the news it finally had come through. It was somehow appropriate that one of Mobile Hope’s homeless boys was the first to get the news, Fortier said. He had gone to pick up the mail and saw a letter from the IRS. “He called me, saying ‘Oh, Ms Donna, something from the IRS is in the mail and that can’t be good.’” She reassured him and told him to go ahead and open the letter, which he did— giving her the news it was the certification of

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 under-

the organization’s 501(c)(3) status. Welcoming Inman to Mobile Hope, Fortier said, “Bonnie will be responsible for fundraising for the organization. We are thrilled to have her experience, enthusiasm and passion. We feel that Bonnie will be able to take us far.” After taking a break following her resignation after years working with Loudoun Interfaith Relief, Inman was equally pleased to be back in the thick of things. “I am so over-the-top thrilled to be working for this organization,” she stated, noting there is much to do and so many places to grow Mobile Hope. “I thought I knew all about the human services Loudoun County provided, but my eyes have certainly been opened,” she said, adding that just in the short time she has been with the organization, Mobile Hope has helped many children who cannot find a place to turn to, because of their circumstances. And their stories are so sometimes so horrific and heart-wrenching they are hard to believe, Inman stated. Hunger is bad enough by itself, but being 17, hungry and without a safe place to sleep is far worse, Inman said, adding “I want to be a part of this team that is definitely going to bridge that gap.” In 2014, according to Mobile Hope statistics, Loudoun County Public Schools identified about 1,000 children that were identified as homeless or precariously housed under the terms of the McKinney-Vento Act, which addresses the needs of children who “lack(ed) a fixed, regular, and adequate nighttime residence.” For more information on how you could help, call Inman at 703-771-1400 or check the website at www.mobilehopeloudoun.org. n stand 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

Both she and her colleague Susan Sutter thanked the many volunteers who stepped up to take charge of the varying pieces of the complex fair mechanism. Friday’s attendance was surprisingly good, despite the drizzle, and the positive side of the poor weather resulted in excellent sales reported by crafters and personnel at Waterford Foundation buildings. “The [Waterford] mill had its best day ever,” Getty reported, laughingly noting comments about “voracious” shoppers, intent on picking up favorite craft items.

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 in-depth conversations and career retrospectives. Atwood will receive her award Friday,

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 currently scoring “True Story.” “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Halloween weekend than with these two fantastic artists,” Koch said. The festival itself 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 films include Oscar contenders, festival favorites, foreign entries and regional premieres. For full details, go to www.middleburgfilm.org. The honorary awards evening will be the kick-off for the festival itself, which features a full slate of narrative, foreign and documentary films. The festival opens Oct. 30 with Richard LaGravenese’s musical “The Last Five Years,” starring Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan.

Morten Tyldum’s “The Imitation Game” will screen as the Centerpiece Nov. 1. The full slate includes some very anticipated titles, including “’71,” “Mr. Turner,” “Red Army” and “Two Days, One night.” Koch said she anticipates another “wonderful four days of fantastic film, music and conversation,” noting the 2014 event offers a mix of Oscar contenders, film festival favorites and independent gems. Organizers are especially pleased to be screening five foreign language submissions to this year’s Oscars, she said. For Johnson, to whom last year’s successful debut was an added pleasure to the opening of her Salamander Resort and Spa in August 2013, the intent for this year is “to grow the Middleburg Film Festival into a true destination event for the Washington region.” The great films coupled with Middleburg’s fall beauty makes the festival “a can’t-miss attraction,” she contends.

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.

and culture proved a great success in its first outing last year and organizers are seeking to expand on that base. The free event will be held at Fireman’s Field at 250 S. Nursery Ave. The family-oriented event includes multiple stages to offer a wide diversity of entertainment, and the wooded park setting is ideal for art exhibits and competitions, workshops, crafts and games. Organizers are starting early and invite applications from area bands and entertainers, musical acts and performers to include in next year’s entertainment lineup. Purcellville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Chairman Chris Bledsoe said the group is not looking for any particular genre of music—just interested in providing an event with as wide a variety and as high a quality as possible. So, musicians of all stripes—country, bluegrass, folk, rock, fife and drum, bagpipes or polka bands—are welcome. Magicians and dramatic acts also are welcome to apply. Interested performers are requested to submit an application by Jan. 1 for consideration for the event by a Purcellville Parks and

Recreation Board subcommittee. To download an application, go to www.purcellvilleva.gov. The call for participating artists will go out in a couple of months, according to Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Chairman Chris Bledsoe. Performers should Contact Melanie Scoggins at Mscoggins@purcellvilleva.gov or Bledsoe at tcbledsoe@yahoo.com for further information. • The medical practice operated by Dr. Troy Mohler of Leesburg/Sterling Family Practice at 2 E.

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.

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.

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

south of Leesburg. He moved on to the popular Hunter’s Run Winery near Hamilton, known for its thriving music scene and for helping launch the careers of several local musicians. He’s now a regular at numerous locations across the county and beyond, and said he now plays 30-40 percent

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 48

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;? Guagliardi said.

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

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

Leesburg Today is published weekly by

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.

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

Dear Editor: I recently read about a Wall Street Journal poll that said that only 14 percent of people approve of the job that Congress is doing. A whopping 71 percent of people felt that the economic problems facing this country are due to the inability of our elected officials in Washington to get anything done to improve the economy. What is it going to take to get them to see that the problems in this country go beyond politics? It’s time for everyone in Congress to put aside their differences and get down to the real

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.

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: It could be you, your neighbor, your spouse, best friend or even the cashier at the local Target. One in 20 people has a mental illness, yet those affected by it continue to be stigmatized. This week—Oct. 5 – 11—is Mental Illness Awareness Week. There is not one person who doesn’t have a story of how mental illness has touched their life in some way. Yet the stigma against those with mental illness is so strong that many are afraid to share their struggles. We believe, if people start telling their stories, it will encourage others to come forward and say, “Me too, me too.” We want to create a groundswell of people standing up and saying, I have a mental illness, but I am not my mental illness. Sharing stories can save lives by giving hope to those who at the moment feel hopeless. That’s why we founded This Is My Brave, Inc., a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We want to ignite and advance a positive national conversation about mental illness by and for those who are touched by it. Through our theater performances, This Is My Brave - the Show, we are able to do just that. A live presentation of touching personal essays, original music, and poetry performed by local individuals living with―or loving someone with― a mental illness provides the space for a human connection. Our debut sold out show in May and generated the response and created the spark we hoped for. With the support of the Briar Woods Parent, Teacher, Student Organization (PTSO), we will be bringing our approach to mental illness education into our local high schools with an encore performance of the original show, followed by an “Ask the Doctor” panel discussion with the cast and our Advisory Board member, Dr. Mark Komrad, as well as Nick Gentile, LPC and President, Potomac Psychological Center in Ashburn. The show is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 26 at 3:30 p.m. at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn. This Is My Brave—The Show will be expanding to three cities in May 2015 to help bring awareness and a voice to those affected by mental illness in DC, Boston, and Iowa City, IA. Through our shows we hope to keep the conversation going. For more information on how you can help go to www.thisismybrave.org.

lice ‘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.

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

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.

“The Sherif f should have plenty of resources to handle graf fiti problems, no matter what it says. Calling in the FBI is ridiculous. … I predict once the middle school spray painter is caught, there will be an argument to prosecute this dangerous felon with hate crimes, and as an adult? Honesly people, if the LCSO can’t handle graf fiti, I have to wonder what will happen in the case of a real emergency?”

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

sing the slogan of “One year in Purcellville—decades of experience,” Ed and Claire Cutshall are marking the first anniversary of the relocation of their Hunt Country Jewelers in its new location. For more than 30 years, the Cutshalls had operated their popular jewelry store in Hillsboro. Having moved from the county’s smallest town to its second-largest, the Cutshalls have found their business has taken on a whole new dimension. They love their new location at 105 E. Main St. and Carolyn Cutshall notes it has been a pleasure to meet area residents and fellow business owners. “We are, after all, a part of a very joyous industry. What’s not to love about diamonds

and gemstones,” she said. Saturday, the duo, along with their son Logan and his wife Carolyn, will celebrate their first year in Purcellville with various gem cutting demonstrations, including stone cutting and wax carving, as well as raffling off a Hunt Country silver and amethyst earring and pendant set created by Logal Cutshall, a master goldsmith and gemologist. The Cutshalls personally design, make and sell only their original pieces. The public is invited to stop in to meet the Cutshalls at their 105 E. Main Street location, eye their jewelry designs and observe the demonstrations firsthand. For more information, call 540-338-8050. n
