Janelia’s Betzig Wins Nobel Prize

Astronaut Wannabe Zooms In On Life’s Building Blocks Jan Mercker

For Betzig, who lives in Brambleton with his wife, Janelia-based neuroscientist Na Ji, and their two young children, the last week has been a whirlwind. “The best word to describe it is exhausting,” he said in an interview with Leesburg Today. “At first, the best word to describe it is just stunned…It certainly wasn’t something I was waiting for with bated breath. The best analogy is getting hit by a bus—you’re going about your normal day, you like your

life, you’re doing your normal thing, and then there’s this event you know is just going to change your life.” While Betzig downplays the award’s significance on a personal level, he’s celebrating it as a platform for putting a spotlight on world-class research being conducted at the Janelia Research Campus, which opened in Ashburn in 2003 and officially opened in the fall of 2006. With a focus on neuroscience, Janelia’s model involves scientists

The school system reported that the refugee students are spread out in schools around the county and have not impacted class sizes or caused overcrowding. “We are accustomed to receive new students throughout the school year, and we are not experiencing an increase of students that is unusual or creating a hardship in our schools,” according to the registration summary provided to the county by school administrators. Although minimal in that description, the school cost was the only measurable fiscal impact identified in the staff study. The Health Department, which is prohibited from requesting the legal status of residents seeking services, reported no increase in activities attributable to the refugees.

Not more than a quarter million dollars, according to research conducted by the county staff. Loudoun supervisors requested the information during their Oct. 1 meeting and were set to review the resulting report Wednesday. According to the findings compiled by the Department of Family Services and the Health Department, of the 34,456 unaccompanied minors crossing the nation’s southern border since Aug. 31, 227 children have been assigned for care in Loudoun. As of Sept. 30, 87 students identified as refugees have been enrolled in Loudoun’s public schools; however, only 28 of those are considered unaccompanied youth—meaning they are living with non-custodial

oudoun’s new Nobel laureate Eric Betzig is keeping a low profile, and is modest about his own accomplishments. But he’s enthusiastic about the award’s potential to raise the profile of Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Janelia Campus in Ashburn and its model for scientific research. Betzig, 54, of Ashburn, was

awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry last week, for his revolutionary work in developing a molecular-level microscope. Betzig shared the award with German scientist Stefan Hell and William Moerner of Stanford University. While the technology is still in its infancy according to Betzig, it may have implications for research into major diseases—like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s—down the road by allowing scientists to study individual proteins.

epublican congressional candidate Barbara Comstock’s commanding lead over Democrat John Foust took a hit last week after she was accused of crossing ethical boundaries by not initially disclosing business ties with an anti-union organization. A Politico article disclosed that Comstock championed legislation in the Virginia General Assembly that opposed labor interests, while she also accepted thousands of dollars from Workforce Fairness Institute as one of her clients at Carillo Comstock Inc. from 2008 to 2012. The national group’s website lists measures sponsored by Comstock among its legislative priorities. Comstock initially failed to list WFI as a client when she filed papers to run for the

10th Congressional District race, according to the Politico article. Her campaign later disclosed the relationship and called the omission unintentional. Susan Falconer, the Republican’s campaign manager, told Leesburg Today this week that Comstock certainly did not hide her relationship with WFI. She made several media appearances on behalf of the group, advocating right-to-work policies in which she strongly believes. “It is no secret that Barbara Comstock has worked in a public and open fashion—on TV, radio and in print—advocating right-towork policies,” Falconer said. The ethical rules surrounding when legislators should recuse themselves from a vote are murky in Virginia’s General Assembly. Elected posts in the state legislature are

wo years ago, Supervisor Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run) met with representatives of Topgolf about expanding their driving range/entertainment center concept to Loudoun. “I walked out of that meeting and I enthusiastically knew this was a winner for Loudoun County,” Williams said last week during the ceremonial groundbreaking for the 70,000-squarefoot entertainment facility at the intersection of Rt. 7 and Loudoun County Parkway. The complex is scheduled to open next August. The special feature offered by Topgolf, which first opened in the United Kingdom in 2000 and has a location in Alexandria, is the microchip technology that’s inside each golf ball. The sensors, invented by brothers Dave and Steve Jolliffe, track the distance and accuracy of golf shots that are aimed at specific targets and the golfer is awarded points based on the shot’s result. The competitive game has taken off in the United States, as Topgolf Director of Operations Willie Wilson expects to have another 26 loca-

tions up and running in the next 18 months. That will almost triple Topgolf’s presence in the country. “Loudoun County was definitely an area that we knew we wanted to be a part of because it’s a great partnership and a great win for both Topgolf and the county,” Wilson said. “Seeing as though we’re an entertainment venue, we want to offer the best to the public because we’re about hospitality. We want you to come not just because it’s Topgolf, but come because of the experience you get from everything else.” That “everything else” at the Loudoun entertainment center—a design known as the Topgolf 7.0—will include three bars, a three-level driving range with 102 bays complete with televisions and couches, pool tables, shuffleboard and corn hole games, Wi-Fi and music on a rooftop terrace. Topgolf Director of Construction Kevin Miner said the company is projecting $265 million in economic output in Loudoun County during the first 10 years, while also hiring 450 workers and creating 150 new full-time jobs. The wide array of activities offered in the driving range/entertainment facility has led to an inter-

esting discovery from the Topgolf marketing team. “More than 50 percent of people who come to Topgolf don’t consider themselves golfers, which really speaks to the attraction of the facility,” Miner said. “You can be a beginner swinging the club for the first time, or you can have kids who want to have fun. You can be a group of friends or you can be a scratch-golfer working on your game. If you don’t want to swing a club, there’s still plenty to do.” Also in attendance at the groundbreaking ceremony, in which participants hit golf balls into the construction area instead of a traditional dirt shoveling, was Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tony Howard. While he jokingly asked whether the microchip technology could help fix his slice, Howard also noted how perfectly Topgolf fits in the area. “The facility itself is ideal for the thinking in Loudoun County—it’s smart, it’s savvy and it’s great for family entertainment. I can’t wait to come out.” More information can be found at topgolf. com, and construction progress can be tracked on Twitter @TopgolfDC. n

fforts by federal authorities to ramp up the fight against the domestic spread of Ebola are targeting travelers arriving at Dulles Airport from Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. Starting Thursday, passengers will experience additional screening, including the use of sensors to measure their body temperatures. Customs and Border Protection workers also are implementing the new safety measures at JFK, Newark, O’Hare and Atlanta’s HartsfieldJackson airports. Together the five airports serve 94 percent of those traveling from those three West African countries—about 150 passengers per day. Thomas Eric Duncan, the Dallas man who contracted Ebola in Liberia and died Oct. 8 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital, re-entered the U.S. on a flight to Dulles Sept. 20 and then caught a connecting flight to Texas. Officials have said there was no public health threat during the time he was at the airport, because he was not showing symptoms of the disease at that time. According to an Ebola response fact sheet released by the White House last week with the announcement of plans for the enhanced airport operations, representatives of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have been working since August with airlines, airports,

A Sunday morning crash into a decorative water feature in Lansdowne landed a Leesburg man in jail facing a DUI charge. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were called to a single vehicle crash near the intersection of Lansdowne Boulevard and Riverpoint Drive Oct. 12 at 7 a.m. and found a vehicle submerged in the pond. The driver, identified as Arturo R. Romero, 46, was outside the vehicle, but said a family member might still be inside. Deputies searched the car, but no one was inside and the family member was found safe in another location. Romero was charged with DUI and driving without a license.

collaboration of government agencies and community volunteers has resulted in a permanent display of artwork designed to promote healing and wellness for people with mental health and cognitive disabilities. The multimedia work, The Four Seasons, was created by participants in the Expressive Art Group program offered by Friends of Mental Health, St. James’ Episcopal Church’s Jeremiah Table Ministry and the Loudoun Community Services Board Community Outreach Program. During an Oct. 9 unveiling ceremony, representatives of those groups discussed the power of art to help those suffering with mental health problems. Joe Wilson, executive director of the county’s Department of Mental Health, Substance Abuse and Development Services, said much has been learned in the field over the past 30 to 40 years. Instead of

institutionalizing patients, Wilson said it is now known that they “do much better when they are really connected to the community.” Building those connections have been a focus of 40 outreach events last year, he said. Darcey Swope and Trent Carbaugh started Birds of a Feather Art Studio and School seven years ago with the goal to help make expressive art more available. They worked with the participants in the St. James program to create a four-panel work that depicts the four seasons, with lyrics from The Byrds classic “Turn! Turn! Turn! (to Everything There is a Season” carrying through the work. Angelo Wider, chairman of the county’s Community Services Board, hopes the art of collaboration will continue among the agencies. He pointed out that after a short trial period a therapeutic arts program offered by George Washington University to aid returning veterans at Ft. Belvoir quickly was made a permanent offering. “There is a message there,” he said. The work will be on display in the county government’s Shenadoah office building in Leesburg.

epublican U.S. Senate hopeful Ed Gillespie made the case before a crowd of Ashby Ponds residents last week for why his policies would go further in Congress than Democrat Sen. Mark Warner’s has. Gillespie, a longtime GOP strategist, painted a clear contrast between himself and the firstterm senator he hopes to unseat. Warner is widely considered a moderate in the Senate, and his campaign for re-election has touted that reputation, but Gillespie said Thursday that Warner’s record aligns with President Barack Obama’s 97 percent of the time. “I believe that much of the problem we’re seeing today is because, under the ObamaWarner policies the federal government is doing too many things better left to state governments and the private sector, and not doing enough of what they should be at the federal level,” he said. First up on his to-do list if he unseats Warner is to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare. He told a story about a Chesapeake woman with an eye condition who, under the federal health care law, has to pay out of pocket for a specialist her previous insurance covered. And he mentioned another woman from Danville who learned her premiums will go up $7,200 a year for health insurance for herself and six children under the new law. “I hear stories like this all of the time all across the commonwealth,” Gillespie said. “Sen.

Warner wants to keep Obamacare. I want to replace it.” His proposal to replace the federal health care program calls for refundable tax credits that can be used to purchase insurance, as well as reforms that will encourage greater competition, he said. “Those reforms would pull down costs, allow for affordability, would not kill jobs and would not disrupt an entire marketplace.” He fielded questions from the 50-plus residents who packed the ballroom at the retirement community, and among them was a question on what cut he would make first if elected. Gillespie didn’t go as far to say he would cut entitlement programs, but he did say the safety net of Medicare and Social Security will not be there for their children and grandchildren if reforms are not made. He assured those in the room that he is not advocating changes for those at or near retirement. “But for future generations we need to look at changes and reforms that would save these programs for them.” Of last week’s big news in Virginia—the legalization of same-sex marriage—Gillespie said that the teaching of his faith defines marriage as between one man and one woman, but said he will not fight to reverse the law. “It should be a decision left to the states,” he said. “However, the states determine for themselves the definition of marriage. I believe that’s the appropriate place in our system for that determination to be made, not through a federal marriage amendment which I would not support.” n

Why is Snell Heating & Air Conditioning Giving away $144 Tune-Ups For Only $79? “There are really two reasons,” says owner Dave Snell “The first is basic supply and demand economics. The demand for repair calls is low and therefore our pricing for tune-ups has got to come down in order to increase the demand.

Guaranteed: Your Money’s Worth Or You Don’t Pay “Second, when I run this type of promotion I don’t expect to make any money on the front end. I know, however, that when homeowners experience the level of service we provide, they’ll come back to us again for all their home comfort needs.” The Snell technician will give your furnace a complete 20-Step “Precision Tune-Up and Professional Cleaning” that will take nearly one and a half hours to perform. “I am confident that homeowners who test out my service will be delighted. If they don’t see a savings on their utility bill or if they don’t feel it was worth their hard earned dollar, they can ask for a full refund, no questions asked,” states Snell.

Dave Snell Local Business Owner

They make it really easy for you at Snell. To get your $79 Tune-up simply call their office and tell them the best time to come to your home. There are a limited number of tuneups being allotted to these seasoned professional technicians. Over the next 30 days that number is limited to 250, so call today.

vide support to undocumented residents. Therefore, the impact report focused on schools and the system’s $12,195 annual per pupil cost, with $8,476 of that total covered by local tax revenue. The staff report put the local tax cost of educating the unaccompanied refugees at $225,022. Supervisors earlier this month endorsed a legislative stance calling for the federal government to address the growing humanitarian crisis at the border and to ensure that the cost to provide refugees with shelter and other services is not transferred to localities. During Wednesday’s meeting, the board was expected to endorse a proposal to send a letter to federal authorities and the county’s Congressional delegation seeking 100 percent reimbursement for any local resources spent caring for the refugee children. n

his weekend, Inova Loudoun Hospital Ladies Board Co-Chairs Lisa Cromwell and Sue Clewis will oversee the 76th rendition of the yearly hospital rummage sale. In their eighth year of running the show, the two women are gearing up for what Cromwell laughingly calls “the madness” of the massive event at the Morven Park Equestrian Institute north of Leesburg. The sale starts at 8 a.m. Saturday with the Early Bird special hour for $10 ticket holders, before the free general sale opens at 9 a.m. and runs to 3 p.m. Sunday hours are 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Early Bird tickets (for ages 12 and up) must be purchased prior to Friday from: Twice is Nice thrift shop at 305 E. Market St. and Black Shutter Antique Shop, 1 Loudoun St., SW, both in Leesburg, or the Gift Shop at the hospital’s Lansdowne campus. What sets the hospital’s event apart from other rummage sales is the fact that it’s entirely run by volunteers with all the proceeds benefiting hospital programs and needs. The first hospital rummage sale was held in 1938 in downtown Leesburg. Later, for many years, the sale was an annual magnet for bargain hunters at the 4-H Fairgrounds west of town. In recent years, the sale moved to its current location at Morven Park. “It still really is a privilege for us to work on a project like this, it has such meaning for the county and the Ladies Board is 100 percent behind it. It’s hard work, but when the doors open Saturday morning, that’s the reward,” Cromwell said Monday evening. She and Clewis had just finished working with 200 other volunteers unloading three of 10 tractor-trailer-loads of items for sale. “Now it’s only seven to go,” she quipped. Last year’s sale raised a record $213,000. For more information, call 703-771-2985 or go to www.LadiesBoard.org. n

ne of Loudoun’s most popular autumn outings happens this Saturday and Sunday—the Loudoun Fall Farm tour. All the beauty of scenic western Loudoun will be on full display during the Department of Economic Development’s showcase of Loudoun’s thriving agricultural industry. More than 8,000 visitors are expected to tour the 42 sites on the free self-guided tour. Hours are from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. Horses, cattle, sheep, llamas, goats and chickens are just some of the animals visitors are likely to see up close, along with special activities, educational exhibits and locally raised products for purchase. Four new sites have been added this year—BLE-COR Farm, a family owned Black Angus cattle farm in operation for more than 30 years; Watermark Woods, a pesticide-free native plant nursery with exhibits on composting and natural alternatives to pesticides; Mount Defiance Cidery and Distillery, a new commercial cidery near Middleburg, offering samples of hard cider and facility tours; and Winery 32, a 32-acre farm winery featuring live music and vineyard tours. A map to guide tour-goers along with descriptions of each participating farm and other venues is included in the Loudoun Fall Farm Tour brochure, which is available at county libraries and community centers.

from different disciplines working together. For example, scientists like Betzig who are involved in imaging projects work closely with the neuroscientists who will be using the tools they create. “This is just the tip of the iceberg of what’s going on here now,” Betzig said of his invention. “There is so much amazing science going on here, and we’re getting further and further ahead of the rest of the world in what we’re doing because, frankly, we have a better model for doing research here…The tools we’re developing [help scientists] to understand how neurons come together to create behaviors in animals,” he said. “We’re definitely becoming the world leader in a lot of these aspects.” A big part of HHMI’s model involves having lead scientists (known as principal investigators or PIs) working in the trenches with postdocs and graduate students. And this model has led to Janelia’s development as a top research institution before reaching its 10th anniversary. “We’re just now picking up steam. In 2004, this was a bunch of steel beams and a mud pit. It’s just amazing that you can conjure out of the mud this world-class institution on that timescale,” he said. For Betzig, the journey to a Nobel from a space-obsessed childhood was marked by impressive accomplishments and also by learning from failures. “I was a child of the ’60s, so for me it was all about the space program. I wanted to be an astronaut,” he said. “Somehow in third grade it just clicked and I just started reading everything in the school library about science and I kind of never let go since then.” Betzig went on to study physics at Caltech and then earned a doctorate from Cornell University in applied and engineering physics. He

went on to work at Bell Labs in New Jersey, but left after becoming disillusioned with academic science. It was after leaving Bell in the mid-90s that he had the idea for what would become his prize-winning microscope, but at the time the tools and technology needed to build it didn’t exist. He went to work as an engineer at his father’s machine tool company in Michigan, but after the technology he designed there failed commercially, Betzig again went into “semi-voluntary” unemployment. During that period, he reconnected with longtime friend and mentor Harald Hess, with whom he had worked at Bell. The pair decided to pursue Betzig’s decadeold quest to view individual molecules with a microscope. “You want to see the molecules in the cell,” he said. “In a normal microscope, if you look at one isolated molecule it looks like a fuzzy ball because of its limited resolution. If you have a whole bunch of molecules in a cell, these fuzzy balls run together and you get nothing but a fuzzy glow or blob—and you can’t do anything with that.” Betzig’s challenge was to find a way to “turn on” the molecules one at a time. Initially working independently, he and Hess discovered work being done by biologists at Florida State University involving fluorescent molecules that can be turned on individually, and the missing link to the revolutionary microscope was found. Betzig was brought on board at HHMI as an early hire in the campus’ bioimaging program in 2005. Hess came on board the following year, and the two continued work on the imaging project at Janelia. Winning a Nobel without Hess is bittersweet for Betzig, and he said he’s puzzled that Hess was not included in the award. (Nobel rules limit the number of recipients to three for any discipline). “He totally deserves it. I view this prize as much as Harald’s as it is mine,” he said. “Basi-

cally, together we found this missing link that made the idea I’d pitched 10 years earlier work. I would not have had the courage to do that alone.” Betzig also said he’s surprised that recognition for his invention has come at such an early stage in its development. “I wasn’t surprised that this field would eventually get a Nobel Prize. I was real surprised that it happened this early,” he said. “By the standards of many, many other things that get [a Nobel], this thing is an infant. We still have a lot to improve. We still have a lot to learn and a lot to prove.” For Betzig, the $1.2 million monetary award attached to the prize, which he’ll split with the two other winners, is really an afterthought and will likely wind up in his children’s college fund. “For this award, the money is trivial in comparison to the recognition and what that will bring,” he said. Betzig and his family will travel to Stockholm in early December for Nobel Week, which includes a lecture by Betzig Dec. 8, the awards ceremony Dec. 10 and a full slate of social engagements, including a banquet with the Swedish king. Until then it’s business as usual, with a bit more name recognition. “I’ve been seeing more smiles and waves [in the neighborhood], but people kind of give us our privacy, which we really like,” he said. Betzig said he and his wife enjoy their lives in Loudoun. They occasionally enjoy going into DC and exploring the countryside in western Loudoun, but time is a precious commodity. Like many busy families in the community, he and Ji spend a lot of time working and devote most of their precious free time to their children, who are 2 and 4. “Janelia has all the resources you could possibly want except you can’t create more than 24 hours in a day,” Betzig said. n

group of high school students from Main-Taunus-Kreis, Germany—Loudoun’s sister county—are in town for two weeks to experience Americans’ day-to-day life by living with host families, jobshadowing, site-seeing and attending school. The 18 students are in Loudoun through

the George C. Marshall International Center’s Student Partnership Exchange Program. For six years, the center has overseen a student exchange program with Main-TaunusKreis, just outside Frankfurt, and last year it expanded the program to include Vienna, Austria. The cornerstone of SPEP, an aspect that also makes it unusual among other exchange programs, is its weeklong internships that connect the students with leaders in a career

field of their interest. Last week, it meant the German students shadowed doctors, elected officials, teachers, librarians and other industry leaders. Sixteen-year-old Charlotte Schneider spent the week working with horses and children at Loudoun Therapeutic Riding. She’s ridden horses since she was 6 years old, so she knows how to do everything from muck stalls to tack up a horse. But the week still left plenty of opportunity to learn new things.

She said she’d never worked with children with disabilities before, and the highlight of the week for her was working with a little boy who spoke German. “He was so happy talking to me. People told me I made his day and probably his week.” She was impressed with how well the horses are treated at the Morven Park facility—they have a lot of space and they get breaks after working with more difficult children—and how large the facility is. “I’ve been working with horses at home for all of my life, but unfortunately we don’t really have places like this one in Germany, which I think is really sad because they do amazing work,” she said. “I had the best time.” Loudoun Therapeutic Riding became a part of the SPEP because it wanted to give students a chance to learn about the benefits of riding. Especially for children living with disabilities, it teaches balance, coordination and how to follow instructions. “These students are extremely helpful especially when they already have riding knowledge like Charlotte does,” Hart said. Victor Brendel, 16, said his work experience shadowing emergency response personnel was busy but eye-opening. He got a glimpse of emergency training alongside the Purcellville Volunteer Rescue Squad, watched nursing students practice their skills on robotic patients and even rode along to an emergency call for a car crash. German students also interned at Staged by Design, Rehau, M.C. Dean, the Federal Aviation Association and Fortessa, among other sites. This writer spent the week at Leesburg Today.

declare us officially open!” Ricardy Anderson, principal of Cardinal Ridge Elementary School in South Riding, announced as she cut a red ribbon at the school’s dedication ceremony last Thursday. The county’s newest elementary school and newest high school—Rock Ridge in Ashburn—celebrated their official grand openings last week. School Board member Jeff Morse (Dulles) got the kids at Cardinal Ridge laughing with some trivia about the school’s namesake. “Did you know the reddest cardinals are the males? That makes them the brightest. Did you know a male cardinal will fight with its own reflection for hours? That makes the females the brightest.” The students’ laughter turned into more of a roar when Morse stepped away from the podium to reveal a red, feathered tail hanging from the back of his pants. “Go, Red Wings,” he yelled over the cheers. Before Anderson performed the ceremo-

nial ribbon cutting, she told the students, parents, teachers and elected representatives packed into the brand new gymnasium that one of her goals as an educator has been to open a new school. “I’ve wanted to be able to open a school from the ground up—literally from the ground up,” she added, and said she’s loved watching it transform from a pile of dirt into a school with bustling hallways and classrooms. A few miles south, Rock Ridge Principal John Duellman helped christen the county’s 14th high school during a ceremony Friday morning. “Today officially marks the rise of the Rock Ridge Phoenix,” he said to the shouts of students and teachers. He reminded them that the School Board meeting at which he was officially named the principal of Rock Ridge was the same meeting that parents and students lined up to plead with board members not to reassign them to the new school. Duellman said Friday morning with a laugh that he saw that as a challenge and an opportunity to make those who were assigned

to the new school feel like they are an important part of the Rock Ridge community. “Now here we are,” he said. “Honestly, I’ve enjoyed every step along the way.” A proud junior, Adham Miskinyar, thanked the parents, administrators, teachers, janitors and cafeteria workers for making the two-

month-old establishment already a great school. Adham, the Parent-Teacher-Student Organization student president, called Loudoun County Public Schools the best school system in the country, and Rock Ridge “the crown jewel of the county’s high schools.”n

oudoun County Public Schools’ cumulative score on the SAT rose five points this year, according to data released by the College Board. The average score among Loudoun students was 1,611, up from 1,606 in 2013. Scores rose in critical reading by four points and mathematics by two points, while dropping in writing by one point. Loudoun’s average score continues to be well above Virginia and national averages of 1,520 and 1,471, respectively. Participation in the exams also was up this year by 81 students—3,536 LCPS students took the SAT this year compared with 3,455 in 2013. “We are pleased the number of students taking the SAT increased and that scores in critical reading and mathematics also increased,” Assistant Superintendent for Instruction Terri Breeden stated. “LCPS’s students are positioned to be very competitive in the college admissions process due to exceeding the Virginia and national means.” Statewide, the critical reading score rose by three points this year; the math score is up one point; and the writing score down a point. Nationally, the critical reading score was unchanged from 2013, while math and writing scores both dropped by two points.

Reimers Rushes For School Record; Huskies Stay Undefeated

he members of the Tuscarora football team have talked often this season about “taking the next step” and becoming a team that can go deep into the postseason.   The Huskies made a huge stride toward that goal Friday in Leesburg. Senior Noah Reimers rushed for a school-record 377 yards and three touchdowns to lead Tuscarora to a come-from-behind 35-28 victory over visiting Broad Run at Fortune Field.   The emotion of the night was not lost on Reimers. Prior to the start of the game, the Tuscarora stadium was officially dedicated to the memory of former Tuscarora and Broad Run assistant coach Adam Fortune, who died in July. “Coach Fortune’s passing left a huge void in our program, but we’re resilient, we always work hard and we keep at it,” Reimers said. “That showed tonight. We love each other and play for each other. When you have that heart, anything can happen.”   Reimers scored twice in the second half as Tuscarora (7-0) rallied from 21-7 and 28-19 deficits. The Huskies amassed 490 total yards—399 on the ground—and overcame three big scoring plays by the Spartans (4-2) and 10 penalties to pull out the type of victory they had not had in past years.   “We had to win a game like this,” Tuscarora head coach Michael Burnett said. “This is a team that has the ability to play into December, but we needed to learn how to win this type of game. We learned you’re going to face adversity and if you make mistakes, good teams will make you pay. Hopefully, we

fix that over the next few weeks.”   Broad Run—which rallied from a fourthquarter deficit to defeat Tuscarora, 21-17, last year—took a 14-7 lead into intermission and added to it by driving 75 yards in eight plays to open the second half. Senior Marcel Mingo (four catches, 167 yards) was wide open on a play-action pass on a third-and-9 situation and went 58 yards to the Tuscarora 4, then senior quarterback Brady Reitzel snuck over from the one for the touchdown and a 21-7 lead with 8 minutes, 20 seconds left in the third quarter.   That was when the Huskies began to show their mettle. Reimers sprinted 47 yards on the first play after the kickoff and senior Ishmael Williams scored on Ashburn Today/Bill Kamenjar the next play from the 22.

Facing Broad Run would not go away, however. fourth and 6 from the Broad Run 32, junior Starting at his own 49 after a short kickoff, quarterback Daniel Smith (8-of-13 passing Reitzel carried around right end, broke a for 91 yards) was flushed from the pocket and, tackle and sprinted 51 yards down the right while on the run, found senior Nic Speroni

open for a 32-yard touchdown pass. Reimers carried for the two-point conversion and the Huskies were within 28-27 with 8:44 left to play.   “Maybe it was the emotion that got to us a little bit early,” Burnett said. “But they used that emotion to sustain themselves in the second half. There was never quit, there was never doubt on the sideline, especially when Brady had that great run. It would have been easy at that point to pack it in and our kids stepped up and went right back down the field.”   The crucial defensive stop of the game came on Broad Run’s next possession. Behind the tough running of Reitzel (69 yards rushing on 9 carries) and senior Willie Smallwood (55 yards on 11 carries), the Spartans drove to the Huskies 6 and faced fourth down and 2. Tuscarora’s line stuffed senior Jashawn Banks at the 5 and regained possession with 4:58 remaining.   “I was really proud of them with that stop,” Burnett said of the Tuscarora defense. “We were prepared for them to kick it, to be honest, so we had our big kids in there. I thought we played great tonight, but we missed coverages and made mental mistakes. [Broad Run] took advantage of those and capitalized every time, which is what good teams do.”   Reimers took over from there. On the second play, the 5-foot-11, 200-pounder burst through a hole and sprinted 70 yards before Mingo caught him at the Broad Run 6. Two plays later, Reimers scored from the 2 to give the Huskies their first lead of the night.   “He’s so special,” Burnett said of Reimers. Continued on Next Page

Tuscarora Field

Dedicated In Memory Of Coach Fortune Ben Trittipoe

For Leesburg Today

motions were running high in Leesburg Friday night both before and after Tuscarora High School’s football game against visiting Broad Run. The Huskies and their fans celebrated a come-frombehind 35-28 victory that enabled Tuscarora to remain unbeaten at 7-0 and solidify its hold on the No. 1 ranking in the Group 5A North Region. But prior to the opening kickoff, emotions of another sort were flowing through the Tuscarora stadium as it was officially dedicated to the memory of former Huskies assistant coach Adam Fortune. A 14-year veteran of both teaching and coaching in Loudoun County, the 37-year-old Fortune suddenly died July 7 of cardiomyopathy. Fortune spent his first 10 years as a football coach at Broad Run and helped lead the Spartans to a pair of Group AA Division 4 state championships in 2008-09. He then moved to Tuscarora with head coach Michael Burnett to start the Huskies program. As defensive coordinator, Fortune helped build a program that has produced three playoff teams in its first four seasons. A 1995 graduate of Loudoun County High School, Fortune’s legacy with the Huskies and at Broad Run was that of a caring

teacher who could also be demanding as a coach, but he also was a person who was loved by those with whom he came in touch. Many students and fans at the game Friday wore “Fortune Strong” T-shirts and a table was set up just inside the ticket gate to solicit donations for the Adam Fortune Memorial Scholarship. The Tuscarora and Broad Run roster sheets given out at the gate featured a photo of Fortune in Tuscarora gear in the background of the Huskies roster, while the Spartan side showed a photo of the coach in Broad Run garb. A new video board and “Fortune Field” sign Ashburn Today/Bill Kamenjar on the scoreboard at the north end of the stadium The Tuscarora football team bands together during the dedication of Fortune were unveiled when Tuscarora hosted Heritage Field in memory of assistant coach Adam Fortune, who died in July.

“And the offensive line is, too. You can’t run for that many yards without them. Everyone knows he’s getting the ball and he is still able to get those yards, especially the yards after contact, and then he hits another gear. He’s such a great person and it meant a lot to him tonight.”   “They’re amazing,” Reimers said of the Tuscarora offensive line. “They don’t get as much love as they remotely should. They open holes, I just run through them. They’re the hardest working group on the team and are great guys. I owe them everything.”   Broad Run had one last chance, but Reitzel’s fourth-down pass was dropped and the Huskies had the victory.   The first half was a defensive struggle as Tuscarora punted four times and Broad Run twice while each team turned the ball over on downs once. But both the Spartans and Huskies came up with big plays to get on the scoreboard.   Broad Run scored first in the opening quarter as Reitzel (12-of-25 passing for 232 yards, two touchdowns and an interception) connected with Mingo on a 30-yard pass that turned into an 85-yard touchdown as Mingo pulled away from the Tuscarora defender. The Huskies responded, however, as Reimers broke loose for a 61-yard gain and scored from the 2-yard line on the next play.   The Spartans scored late in the first half to take a 14-7 lead at intermission. Aided by a pass interference call against Tuscarora on a third-down and 12 play, Reitzel hit senior Chuck Davis on a quick slant that beat the Husky defender and turned into a 25-yard scoring play.   Reimers realizes this type of victory can carry the Huskies a long way. “Our experience and our love for each other was something that really developed in the offseason,” Reimers said. “It’s playing for everybody—our teammates, our coaches, the community and our whole school. We didn’t have a perfect game tonight, but when we play like that, we’re a great team.”    n

oudoun native Ian Dieter, 32, took over as executive chef at Palio Ristorante Italiano in downtown Leesburg last March after a stint as head chef at the Goodstone Inn near Middleburg. Dieter sat down with Leesburg Today to talk about his hands-on training, the influence of François Haeringer, the iconic founder of L’Auberge Chez François in Great Falls and his interest in local foods. Dieter also will supervise the kitchen at the new Leesburg Diner, which Palio owner Michael O’Connor plans to open later this fall in the former Leesburg Restaurant building. Leesburg Today: Tell me about your background. Ian Dieter: Before I came here, I was executive chef at the Goodstone Inn and Estate. Before that, I was saucier for Monsieur François at l’Auberge Chez François in Great Falls. Working for Monsieur was interesting. I enjoyed it—he really helped hone my skills. Before I went over there I was the sous chef at La Fleur de Lis restaurant [in Lovettsville] under Bill Walden who used to work under Monsieur François as well. LT: Where are you from and how did you get into cooking? ID: I grew up in Waterford after I was born here in Leesburg at the old hospital, and graduated from Loudoun Valley High School in 2000. I started working at Candelora’s in the dish pit. When I started at Candelora’s it was in Lovettsville, but I moved with the transition to Candelora’s in Purcellville. I worked all aspects of the front of the house, and I worked prepping in the kitchen in the daytime. Then I left Candelora’s and started working with Bill [Walden] at La

Fleur de Lis. I started off as a prep cook there, then did the pantry and line cook, then graduated to sous chef and maintained that position for a couple years until I transferred out. I opened Emilio’s restaurant for him down in Lansdowne, and after a few months, I went to Chef François for the opportunity to work with one of the area’s greatest chefs. I worked there for four and a half years in all aspects of the kitchen. He moved me around whether it was working on the line at night for all the different stations until he finally put me in my spot, which was working in the daytime making the sauces… [Later] I helped Bill [Walden] at Goodstone when he was there for a while. He left there and after about a month, I took over as executive chef. [Current Palio General Manager] David [Saavedra] and I also worked together at the Goodstone Inn. LT: Was cooking a big thing in your house growing up? What brought you from high school to somebody who wanted to be a chef? ID: It’s one of those things that you kind of fall into. I started working in a restaurant when I was 15, washing dishes and peeling vegetables. I enjoyed going over there because the cooks would let me make things that teenagers would like—Alfredo and those kinds of things. They taught me how to do it, and that sparked my interest for it, and I’ve kind of stayed with it ever since. My mom likes to bake and my dad is more on the cooking side of things. LT: Do you think as somebody who has learned on the job that you do things differently or that your strengths are different?

ID: I feel it is much different. If I’m going to hire somebody for a kitchen job, I honestly couldn’t care less if they’ve gone to cooking school. If they’ve got years of hands-on experience, to me that speaks a lot louder than having a degree from an auditorium classroom. LT: You seem to have a French influence. Are you taking things in a new direction [at Palio]? ID: The menu here has diversified. Different regions of Italy have different cuisines. Northern Italian cuisine is similar to certain French styles of cooking. The influence on certain dishes shows and on others, it’s more typical, whether it be Venetian or from Florence with some of the pastas. LT: Are there signature dishes here at Palio? ID: One of most popular dishes here is our scallops with a wild mushroom truffle risotto, asparagus and niçoise salad. People really like the lobster raviolis when we run those as a special. We have a lot of positive response from a lot of menu items. LT: What’s a typical day like for you? ID: I come in here around 10:30 or 11. I set up the line, then I’m involved in getting everything ready for the dinner service that evening. I try to stay a day ahead if I can. Sometimes it’s possible, other times it’s not…We make all the pastas. Everything here is made in house except the bread… I set up all the sauces—we have different sauces for lamb, scallops, veal, filet. I make fresh soup every few days. It’s different every day. Today I’m making truffle sauce. I’ve got to

make meatballs for a party and clean a case of beef tenderloins for a wedding rehearsal dinner tomorrow night. LT: Are events a big part of what you do? ID: Usually every weekend we have at least one, especially at this time of year. Fridays and Saturdays the restaurant fills up as well. Weekdays are so-so. LT: Who’s in the kitchen with you? ID: I have a guy who was at Goodstone with me who I met through Bill [Walden], Uncle John [Wongkongkotop], who helps us a few days a week. He helps me work in the pantry, salads and desserts. I also have Carlos Leon in salads and pantry. I have Fatima Lopez who works on the line next to me, and she makes all the pastas for me—I taught her how to do that. I have my sous chef José Neftali Hernandez. Fatima and Carlos were here before, but I’ve worked them into my style and my way of doing things. Neftali and I worked together at Chez François. We have an understanding of each other. Uncle John and I have worked together before. I’ve known him since back in the day at Pacific restaurant in Cascades and he was my pantry guy when I was executive chef at the Goodstone. He’s still the pantry guy at the Goodstone—he works seven days a week and works with me a couple days a week and works with my good lifelong friend [Goodstone executive chef] John Leonard five days a week.

town Leesburg. What’s the scene like? ID: The scene varies. We have our regular patrons as any establishment does, but we have fluctuations—there are always events in downtown Leesburg, the Flower and Garden Show, First Fridays. Those types of things draw different crowds. Goodstone is a destination and most people who went there also used the hotel. LT: Do you have a family? ID: I have a wife Emily and a four-legged son named Moose. LT: On a day off, if you’re going to make something for Emily, what do you like to cook? ID: [Laughing] I take her out to dinner on my day off… [When cooking at home], it really depends on the mood or what I see at the store. We try to eat healthy at home. I buy a lot of organic meats and vegetables for myself and my wife, so it’s a little different style than what you’d go out and get at a restaurant. LT: Do you have any tips for home cooks? ID: I’ve been asked this question a lot. Everybody liked my sauce at the Farm and Art event [during Farm-to-Fork Loudoun this summer]. I had several people ask me about it and when I told them how to make it, they kind of looked at me and said, “that sounds like a lot of work.” A lot of the things I do here are large projects for the home cook. We make all the stocks from scratch from roasting off bones, deglazing your roasting pans with wine and letting them simmer for a couple days and that’s just the base of the sauce. In a separate pot, you have to brown the trim or more bones up and deglaze, then you let that go down and strain it all. Then you get to finish it to one’s own liking and taste. Or they can take all the work away and let me do the work for them, sit down and have a glass of wine and enjoy their meal. LT: Tell me about the Leesburg Diner. What’s your vision? ID: Something that appeals to the local market as

far as quality, home-cooked style that goes with the décor. It kind of has a ’50s feel…We’re going to offer breakfast, lunch and dinner all day. You’ll be able to get breakfast items like chipped beef and sausage gravy to classic peanut soup, which has been asked to stay on the menu. It’ll be a nice place to go and have a good meal without the local families having to break the bank…We’ll have a kitchen manager with line cooks and I’ll be going over there to supervise and train to make sure everything is prepared appropriately and correctly. LT: Is [farm-to-table cuisine] a big part of what you do? ID: I try to incorporate local products in here as much as I can, depending on availability, price and other things that all factor in together. For example, this year I bought a lot of my Farm-toFork stuff from Millcreek Farm. Donnie Ullmer runs that and when I was a boy, my dad and I would buy our hay from him for the horses. You don’t see people for a decade or so and your paths wind up crossing because of the different roads everybody takes in life. LT: You’ve been here for a little over six months. Where do you see Palio going forward? ID: I don’t know if it’s the parking or the weather or what, but it seems that a lot of places in downtown Leesburg aren’t busy during the weekdays. I’d like to see something to increase the volume. And it’s not just us. I’ve talked to people at other establishments around here trying to figure out how to solve that problem. It’s kind of sad because to me there’s plenty of parking [in the town garage] and there are all kind of attractions whether it be food, wine, art galleries, boutiques and live music right across the street. The current dinner menu is being revised as we speak. I’m planning to roll out at the end of October or the very first of November more of a fall-type of menu. I’ll have the new brunch menu since we’re now not open for lunch. We’re just open for brunch [on Sundays]. We stopped serving lunch two or three weeks ago…We don’t want to be competing with ourselves [at Leesburg Diner]. n

oudoun schools Superintendent Eric Williams didn’t shy away from addressing what county and business leaders likely wanted to hear during the Loudoun County Chamber’s Leadership Luncheon last week. He clearly outlined the philosophy he’s maintaining as he begins to draft the FY16 operating budget for the 73,300-student school division. In his first 100 days occupying the position, the new superintendent has visited with everyone from educators to company CEOs and members of the Board of Supervisors—which holds the county’s purse strings—to take input about school spending in Loudoun.

Superintendent Urges County Leaders To Approach Budget With Optimism

Cl a ssif ie d

Luxury in Loudoun!

The budget has long been a point of contention between school leaders and the supervisors, and Williams has been lauded as the person who may help bridge the gap between the two bodies. During the Oct. 8 luncheon, he said in order to craft the right budget, school and county leaders need to “have a success mentality, be strategic and be transparent.” He didn’t sugarcoat the expenses that are likely around the corner for Loudoun County Public Schools, with growing enrollment, two new schools scheduled to open in fall of 2015 and the rising cost of employee health coverage. But he encouraged those in the room to begin planning for the FY16 budget season with a “success mentality” as opposed to a “survivor mentality.” “We’re anticipating that the budget is going to be bigger, and remember if we want to continue to improve we’re going to be asking what new investments are we going to need to build on the success of LCPS,” he said. “But we also need to justify new expenditures.” In a budget work session in August, he told School Board members that early estimates indicate the division will have at least $53 million in new spending next fiscal year. But Williams said Wednesday he views his key role as the superintendent is to “build awareness of the school division’s needs” while also making sure the division is efficient. He has already asked senior staff members to identify potential reductions in their departments. “At the end of this process, I want people to recognize that we’ve been strategic when we propose a budget,” he said. n

considered part-time jobs—with an annual salary of $17,600 for delegates and $18,000 for state senators—and many assembly members hold jobs as government contractors, lobbyists and political operatives that can create conflicts of interests. Lawmakers are required to disclose any conflicts and recuse themselves from votes in the result of which they would have “an immediate and personal interest in.” But the rule does not necessarily consider a client’s interest as a personal interest. Del. Tom Rust (R-86), who is vice chairman of the consulting engineering firm Pennoni Associates, Inc., said he’s recused himself from one vote that he can remember in his 14 years serving in the House of Delegates. It was a vote to approve the appointment of his wife to a state board. Rust said if the result of a vote does not directly benefit a legislator, he or she can still vote on it. “We pass so many things down there that impact large classes of individuals and people that, unless it actually impacts you financially or personally, very few people recuse themselves,” he said. Del. Randy Minchew (R-10), who’s been a vocal advocate of ethics reforms in the state legislature, recused himself from two votes in the spring session. One altered disclosure provisions for land use proceedings and another had to do with attorney fees related to denial of certain permits and approvals. Minchew works as a land use attorney in Leesburg. “I felt it was appropriate even though I did not really have an immediate and personal interest in the result,” he said. “In my opinion, ethics rules should be treated as a floor and not a ceiling.” Del. Tag Greason (R-32) abstained from a vote in 2012 on Comstock-sponsored HB216, which passed and was signed into law to expand tax exemption for data centers. Greason is executive vice president of sales for QTS, which has data centers worldwide. Greason said the rules surrounding when to abstain from a vote are not clear-cut. But, in the case of HB216, it was clear to him that he should recuse himself from the vote “because I work for a data center company, and it was designed specifically to benefit data center companies. There’s no gray area there.” Johanna Persing, Comstock’s communications director, said the delegate has abstained from votes that pose a conflict of interest. She gave the example of a 2010 vote on a bill that would provide refundable income tax credits to motion picture film production companies. Entertainment Software Association was among Comstock’s clients at Corallo Comstock Inc. Democrats are using the relationship between her client WFI and her vocal support for competitive bidding legislation to their advantage. Charlie Jackson, chairman of the 10th District Democratic Committee, said those who have called Comstock’s relationship with WFI and her votes in the House of Delegates a gray area are failing to hold her accountable. He said it affirms that “Comstock represents the people who are paying her, not the people in her district.” Foust’s campaign released an ad this week that quotes the Politico story, stating, “she pushed a client’s issues in the state legislature and didn’t disclose it.” Falconer said Comstock disclosed her federal clients under Virginia law as required. “John Foust’s false ad is just one more negative attack because he has no issues to run on except his long record of raising our taxes.” n

and a reminder that when you take care of the people around you, you get exponentially more in return. His granddaughters Aja Wheeler and Jordan Adams were treated like his princesses. Even as his days drew to a close, bright light shone in his eyes in the presence of his little girls. He adored his third princess, Miss Chloe, the beloved ball carrying pit bull, and protected her from all of those scary frogs. He met the love of his life Barbara Lake, to which he credits being the only woman who loved him for him, and let him be who he was. This knowing gave him comfort and confidence to travel and laugh and experience the fullness of life that he had placed on the back burner for quite some time.

Lots To See

ust when life in Loudoun gets moving too quickly we have weekends like this one to remind us that there is a lot of “old Loudoun” left to enjoy if we only break away from the daily grind to seek it out. Fall weekends are usually packed with a full schedule of community activities, but few offer the array of events on the docket in the days ahead. The Hospital Ladies Board Rummage Sale kicks things off Saturday morning at Morven Park’s equestrian center. The event is special not just because of its epic scale, but for the dedication shown, and camaraderie shared, by members of the volunteer army that make the massive yard sale work so well. The sale established its roots during a time when health care was made possible only through the efforts of community leaders who not only had to support construction of medical facilities, but also had to help buy the linens and other supplies needed for their operation. Today, health care is big business, but a trip to the rummage sale will remind you that it remains a community passion. Also on the weekend docket is the Department of Economic Development’s fall farm tour. More than three dozen agricultural businesses will have open doors to give residents an up-close look at today’s farming operations. Only a few decades ago, this tour may have been viewed as an inspection of rapidly disappearing endeavors soon to be replaced by a landscape of McMansions. Forward-thinking public policy charted a new course and the farms and wineries on display today showcase the strong future for Loudoun’s rural industries. And then there is the Aldie Harvest Festival, the final entry in the autumn’s string of community fairs. The village has come to serve as a connection of sorts between the fastest developing area of Loudoun and the county’s historic past—even as new homes and businesses build up along the route well traveled by Col. Mosby and his men a century and a half ago. In total, the weekend reminds us there is a lot to Loudoun yet to see if we take time to make the trip.

LETTERS to the editor Compassion Needed

W Dear Editor:

ith a few exceptions, our Board of Supervisors hardly put its best foot forward in its first meeting of the new year on many accounts. It persists in seeking ways to reduce property taxes while school enrollment and costs rise. My supervisor, Geary Higgins, proposes a further tax cut to $1.15 that would cut the school budget even further, yet in this newspaper’s report of that we see a picture of a principal, sharing duties in two schools, and serving lunch because of cuts in school luncheon staff. Then comes the board’s alarm over Loudoun’s acceptance of 210 unaccompanied undocumented students who fled the dangers of their home in Central America and have found homes in Loudoun. Despite their certified health, the Board fears

the health impact of these children and their costs to Loudoun. Supervisor Higgins lamented the unfunded mandate and declared the need to care for these children to reflect “a fundamental breakdown of the federal government, and we’re going to pay for it.” Heaven forbid that the richest county in America play its part in providing whatever deficiencies in health and other services exist for these unfortunate children whom it was asked to help rather than raise unseemly alarm over their presence. Closer to the mark was Supervisor Buona’s observation that Loudoun had “a moral obligation to take care of these kids.” But concerns were raised about cost of these children’s schooling—something we didn’t see when the board authorized 90 residential homes in a previously commercial zone recently near Dulles Airport. Neither compassionate conservatism nor cost effectiveness mark this board’s approach to policy any more than it did at the outset of its term, when it hastily abandoned the Drug Court that had so many docu-

“I worr y we are fundamentally changing children’s brains by pandering to the lack of attention span digital devices encourage. How much screen time is recommended for young brains anyway? Most kids already spend 3-4 hours a day (at least) looking at T Vs, computers, phones, etc. Do we need to increase that? I think we have already reached the point where most kids (and adults actually) cannot sit in a quiet room and read a book (not skim an ar ticle, blog, or magazine). I challenge you to tr y it and not reach for your phone/tablet to check ever y 2 minutes.” — Route7Roar, on Superintendent Urges County Leader s

“Conver ting proper ty designated for employment and light industrial uses into residential has negative long term impact on Loudoun County’s ability to attract businesses which will bring more jobs to the county. The county needs to attract businesses that are not just in the consumer ser vices sector. The vacancies you have in the Village at Leesburg shopping center are most likely a symptom of the oversupply of businesses in the consumer ser vices sector. The county needs to attract more manuf acturing companies and reser ving this area for employment and light industrial makes sense.” — TL S, on Super visor s Weigh Tuscarora Crossing Development Plan

The U.S. has a National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease with a goal of preventing and effectively treating Alzheimer’s by 2025, but adequate funding is required to meet that goal.

mented successes at both human and costs savings, as Judge Horne testified at the time. What’s needed is to put into policy the kind of compassion that Chairman York expressed in decrying the anti-Hindu graffiti in Brambleton. But no such policy shift looks likely. This is a board that voted, gratuitously, to recommend that Virginia not accept federal funding for Medicaid expansion, at a state cost, or loss, of $2 billion. It votes regularly to provide continued county support of the Washington “Redskins” who moved their training camp to Richmond two years ago. We fail to provide full-day kindergarten, let alone pre-K care, because, as Supervisor Buona expressed it, we can’t afford it. The point is, we could if we cared, with documented long-term benefits for disadvantaged children in particular. It’s time for this board to put long-term costeffectiveness to work in its budgeting, to take on the tasks that the private market place cannot and leave to the private sector what it can do best, like drumming up business in foreign countries that supervisors have, in the past, visited at unwarranted expense.

Dear Editor: As an ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Association, I would like to thank Senator Mark Warner for co-sponsoring the Alzheimer’s Accountability Act (H.R. 4351/S. 2192), which authorizes the National Institutes of Health to submit a professional judgment budget to Congress justifying funding for critical Alzheimer’s research. Currently, more than 5 million Americans (including 130,000 Virginians) are living with Alzheimer’s, the most expensive disease in the nation. More expensive than cancer and heart disease. Yet, only 1.7 percent of NIH’s budget goes toward research on this devastating disease. Women are at the epicenter of the Alzheimer’s epidemic. According to the Alzheimer’s Association Women and Alzheimer’s Poll, women are almost two-thirds of all Americans with Alzheimer’s and comprise 60 percent of the unpaid caregivers for family members and friends with Alzheimer’s. That means there are 10 million women who either have Alzheimer’s or are caring for someone with the disease. I am one of the 10 million. My husband and I have multiple parents who suffer with this devastating disease. It can happen to you. Think about this: in her 60s, a woman’s estimated lifetime risk for developing Alzheimer’s is 1 in 6. For breast cancer it is 1 in 11.
