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,

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.

hat is the local cost of serving refugee Central American children brought to Loudoun through the federal resettlement program? 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.

“It always concerns me whenever we lose any of our commercial property to other uses because we are fairly limited in a lot of our uses.”

fter more than two years of work, the Tuscarora Crossing rezoning application last week reached the Board of Supervisors, where it faces an uncertain outcome. While area residents uniformly support the proposal to convert 250 acres of undeveloped industrial land into a mixed-use center with 576 residential units and up to 1.5 million square feet of non-residential uses, supervisors question whether the project is a good deal for county taxpayers. During last Wednesday night’s public hearing, almost two dozen speakers—most of them residents of the Kincaid Forest subdivi-

sion that borders the property—urged supervisors to approve the rezoning. The residents have been the project’s strongest supporters since representatives of EV Hunter Trust in 2012 began discussing plans to develop housing on the land. Residents said they feared the impacts of having industrial uses—permitted by-right under the land’s current zoning—operating so close to their homes. Supervisors, however, raised concerns about additional costs that could result from the rezoning—including the need to build a new elementary school—and about reducing the amount of industrial land that would be available for future businesses. Through its first

three years in office the all-Republican board has rejected most requests to convert commercially zoned land to residential uses because of concerns about increased demand for services and pressure to increase taxes. The developer has been working to overcome those objections. The application was subject to a Planning Commission public hearing last November and during negotiations over the past year the project evolved to include more commercial and flex/industrial development, higher density housing types, an offer of a school site and promises to build key sections of Crosstrail Boulevard and Trailview Boulevard. The result, according to the developer, is a proffer package that far exceeds the county’s guidelines, valued at more than $40 million. Representing the applicant before last week’s public hearing, Colleen Gillis said general industrial development on the property would be “starkly incompatible” with the Kincaid Forest neighborhood and other area land uses. She described the proposal as a “synergistic development” that would blend with surContinued on Page 70

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

More than 4,000 people are believed to have died in West Africa from the disease, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projects up to 1.4 million people could be infected by January. Noting the epidemic has left the people of Liberia without adequate food, clothing and sanitation supplies to combat the spread of a disease that kills about 70 percent of those who contract it, NVA Real Estate is asking residents to help out.

ministries of health and others to develop exit screening protocols and train staff airport staff members. Under the procedures, outbound passengers are screened for Ebola symptoms in the affected countries, including required health questionnaires, visual assessments for potential illness and body temperature measurements. Travelers with high fevers are subject to additional screening and possibly isolation. At the U.S. airports, CBP personnel will review all arriving international travelers for general overt signs of illnesses. Body temperatures will be measured using infrared thermometer guns. Travelers identified with a possible communicable disease will be isolated from other travelers while a medical assessment is sought from the CDC and local public health authorities. CBP officers also will be handing out fact sheets to travelers arriving in the U.S. from Ebola-affected countries to provide information on Ebola, health signs to look for and information for their doctor should they need to seek medical attention in the future. The enhanced screening procedures began at JFK airport Saturday, with five travelers referred for additional evaluation over the weekend. 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,

he Leesburg Police Department is a 2014 recipient of a Community Policing Award from the International Association of Chiefs of Police and Cisco Systems. This award recognizes outstanding community policing initiatives by law enforcement agencies worldwide. The LPD was one of five agencies selected for awards and shares this year’s prize for agencies serving populations of 20,001 to 50,000 with the Madison County (AL) Police Department. The Leesburg department was recognized for the partnerships it established with town businesses to combat organized retail crime. Incurring no additional costs, the LPD established a public-private partnership to enhance traditional analytical practices, apply modern theories on crime prevention and reverse a significant crime trend. “This is a tremendous honor for the agency and the town and it speaks volumes for the work done day in and day out by the outstanding men and women of this agency,” Police Chief Joseph Price stated. It is the second IACP award for the department, which also was given international recognition for its community policing efforts in 2006. The award will be presented Oct. 26 at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Annual Conference in Orlando, FL, at a special awards reception.

Dunn Formally Announces Mayoral Campaign Bid

L if e s t yle s

Sports

Bu s in e s s

Educa t io n

fter filing in June to add his name to the Nov. 4 ballot for mayor, Leesburg Town Councilmember Tom Dunn last week kicked off his campaign challenging incumbent Kristen Umstattd. Dunn, who ran against Umstattd in 2010, issued a 1,600-word election announcement in which he criticized the council and town staff for failing to recruit new businesses, holding too many closed-door meetings and failing to take steps to lower taxes and utility rates. Dunn claimed the town has the largest number of vacant commercial properties in its history and is too slow to recruit the large number of new businesses needed to support the community. Dunn said he is more supportive of businesses than other council members and criticized Umstattd as being more interested in getting her photos taken with business owners than supporting them. “This is just cheap talk because over the last 20 years the Town still can’t shake fully its unfriendly business image,” he wrote. In his statement, Dunn claimed Umstattd voted against Wegmans. However, the mayor pointed out that, while she opposed rezoning to convert the area planned for Class A office uses to allow a mixed use center with 635 residential units in 2004, she voted for the 2008 application that cleared the way for the 140,000-square-foot grocery store at the Village at Leesburg to become a Wegmans. Dunn claimed he was the only candidate running for public office who has always voted for a lower tax rate and lower water rate, and has plans to accomplish these lower rates through business recruitment. Dunn wants more advance public disclosure about subjects to be addressed in the Town Council’s closed meetings. “Currently only Town staff and the mayor knows what is to be discussed in a closed session prior to Council voting to attend,” Dunn stated. “I believe government is not above the people but is servant to the people, and should make every effort to operate in the open and enter closed session only on the very rarest of occasions.” Dunn also wants the town to work more closely with Loudoun leaders to find projects that can be funded by the county instead of the town’s tax dollars. Dunn claims town residents pay more than $20 million a year in county taxes that are not returned in services. He criticized Umstattd and incumbent council members Marty Martinez, Kevin Wright and Kelly Burk—each seeking re-election—as professional politicians lacking new ideas and endorsed the three council challengers—Dwight Dopilka, Jeff Phillips and Susanne Fox—as the best opportunity to bring a fresh approach.

eesburg residents have a new way to keep track of development proposals through an online tool developed by the town staff. The Leesburg Interactive Application Map, located at leesburgva.gov/LIAM, allows residents to see the locations of all active and recently approved land use applications within the town at a quick glance. Users can view thumbnail photos with brief descriptions of the applications and launch project pages with links to all applicant submittal and staff review documents. “It’s been a big part of the mission of the department of planning and zoning to increase our education and outreach to the public about everything that we do in terms of planning,” Department of Planning and Zoning Director Susan Berry Hill said. “So this is just one step that we’ve taken to help the public know more about land development activity in town.” From each project page, users can also see the current status of that application and contact information for the staff project manager. Entering each project’s information has been tedious for planning and zoning assistant Debi Parry and GIS analyst Chip Umbaugh, who have been responsible for implementing the new system on the town government website.

The process of creating the online portal was sped up by Umbaugh’s decision to utilize an existing enterprise licensing agreement with ESRI, a mapping software company. While the ESRI software created a mapping template, every other aspect of LIAM was produced in-house. “The software was already available to us, it was just a matter of adapting it to this particular use,” Berry Hill said. “So it was very low cost and very easy to set up as opposed to developing a whole new system. We wanted to find something off the shelf that we could just use to develop this, and Chip took care of the rest.” LIAM, which shows 13 current applications around Leesburg, gives residents a visual tool to understand what is occurring in the surrounding area. “It is nice to have that visual connection,” Umbaugh said. “If you’re living in a certain neighborhood, and you see something that’s happening around you, you can get the information that you need. The most interesting thing about it is the links that it provides to each specific project.” Berry Hill said that LIAM is the “latest in a series of initiatives that the town has implemented to increase government transparency surrounding land use decisions.” Other efforts include the quarterly e-newsletter, P&Z News, and the monthly Development Activity Report, both of which are also available on the town website. n

Kevin will continue his record of leadership, integrity, commitment, honesty, and hard work that you deserve from those you trust for public service. “One of the important lessons I have learned serving on Town Council is that the job isn’t glamorous. It is not about title, it is about service to the community. The job requires a commitment to gathering all the facts and information about the issues to make responsible decisions for Leesburg’s future. Many of the decisions we have to make as a Town Council are not easy, and sometimes they are not popular in the short term; however, to provide for our best future you need leaders that are committed to the community for the long term, leaders that will do what is right not just what is easiest. ”

Art Collaboration Celebrates As Mental Health Model

Sports

Bu s in e s s

collaboration of government agencies and community volunteers has resulted in a permanent display of artwork designed to promote heal-

ing 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!

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.

Bluemont Welcome Center Plans Approved Western Loudoun hikers and bikers will have a new place to rest their bones and learn more about the county. The Board of Supervisors this month approved permits to allow the EE Lake Store in Bluemont to be used as a welcome center following a round of renovations to the circa 1900 building. The Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services and the Bluemont Citizens Association have teamed up to bring the building back to fulltime use and the welcome center project began more than two years ago. The store is located along the Snickersville Turnpike that’s popular with cyclists and is about 1.5 miles from the Appalachian Trail’s intersection with Rt. 7. Under the agreement with PRCS, the Bluemont Citizens Association will operate the facility and provide volunteer staffing for weekends throughout the year. In addition to bringing the building up to code, renovations will include public restrooms and a pair of parking spaces. Built by Edward E. Lake in about 1901 on Railroad Street across from the W&OD train station, the store was originally a two-story, hip-roofed structure with clapboard siding. In addition to serving the grocery and sundries needs of villagers and visitors, the building also housed a branch of the Loudoun National Bank of Leesburg until 1907. The store closed in the early 1930s and was reopened briefly during the 1940s. The store was donated to the county government by owner Robert Higgins, father of Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin), at the turn of the 1980s/1990s.

here was a time when Loudoun residents had to fight to have VDOT’s minimalistic rural rustic road standards used in the paving of their gravel streets. Thanks to a lack of funding from the state government—and a costly tweak to state code—this pave-in-place approach will be widely employed in the years ahead. The Board of Supervisors adopted its SixYear Plan for secondary road improvements following a public hearing last Wednesday night. The county expects to have $7 million available to spend on paving gravel roads over the next six years, but no state funding for construction involving paved secondary roads. That is a far cry from the funding expectations at the beginning of the year when planners estimated having $43 million for road paving and $4 million for paved road upgrades. The funding scenario changed significantly with a vote by a House Transportation subcommittee to spread funding earmarked to help localities pave high-traffic gravel roads among more jurisdictions. A 2013 law established a pot of funds to pave roads carrying more than 200 vehicles per day. Loudoun County, which has the most unpaved road miles of any county in Virginia, was well positioned to benefit from that allocation. In committee this year, that threshold was lowered to 50 vehicles per day—allowing more projects statewide to qualify for funding. Then declining state revenue projections further reduced funds available to Loudoun. Despite that bad news, several high-priority projects are moving forward. County staff members worked with VDOT to track down and reallocate any unused construction funds from prior projects—about $5.5 million. Then they agreed to a strategy of allowing the paving projects on the to-do list to proceed under the rural rustic road program, which saves millions compared with traditional fully-engineered paving projects. Under the Six-Year Plan, the following projects will move to construction in the next two years:

• the paving of 1.2 miles of Bull Run Post Office Road south of the county border this fall. The eastern Loudoun gravel road carries more than 1,000 vehicle trips per day and the $1.5 million project will bring the corridor up to rural rustic road standards; • the reconstruction and paving of 1.4 miles of The Woods Road near the county landfill (underway); • the paving this fall of a 0.4-mile section of Waxpool Road carrying 580 vehicle trips per day in Ashburn to rural rustic road standards; • the paving next summer of Shreve Mill Road between the Dulles Greenway and Evergreen Mills Road—a segment serving 960 vehicles per day—to rural rustic road standards; and • the paving next fall of 1.8 miles of Fleetwood Road north of Rt. 50, carrying 600 vehicles, to rural rustic road standards. New projects added to the construction list for subsequent years include the paving of

Scotland Heights Road west of Round Hill (fall 2018), the paving of Greggsville Road between Jeb Stuart Road and Telegraph Springs Road near Philomont (fall 2019) and the paving of Williams Gap Road northwest of Round Hill (fall 2020). Supervisors also agreed to put three other requested paving projects in a queue for funding should more money become available: Ticonderoga Farm Road in Dulles South, Lakefield Road near Round Hill and Rocky Lane near Lovettsville. Speaking at the hearing, supervisors gave high marks to Loudoun administrator Terrie Laycock and VDOT’s Loudoun County Transportation and Land Use Director Farid Bigdeli for their work to make the most use of the available funding, with Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) calling them the “super duo.” Also winning accolades—from supervisors as well as speakers at the hearing—was VDOT’s effort this year to improve maintenance on a list of the county’s most deteriorated gravel roads. n

Extravagance has a name…

Bu s in e s s

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 first-term 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

ncumbency confers many advantages to political candidates, but one major disadvantage: a record of their decision making. During recent interviews with members of Northern Virginia Media Services, two local officeholders who are competing for the soon-to-be-open 10th District U.S. House of Representatives seat defended their votes on key issues. Del. Barbara Comstock (R-34), who hopes to succeed her retiring mentor, U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-VA-10) in the Nov. 4 election, gave several reasons why she voted against the transportation bill passed by the General Assembly last year. While saying she supported increased money for transportation, Comstock said the legislation eventually agreed upon was too wide-reaching and disproportionately affected Northern Virginia. The bill instead should have raised funds through taxes on transportationrelated activities, she said. “I thought the bill at the end of the day was thrown together,” she said. “We didn’t know what was in it. I didn’t think taxing Northern Virginia more than the rest of the state was fair.” Comstock noted that opposition to the bill was bipartisan and drew negative votes from Democratic lawmakers including state Sen. Chap Petersen (D-34). Comstock defeated one-term incumbent Del. Margi Vanderhye (D-34) in the 2009 election and began serving the first of her three terms in 2010. The Republican delegate later defeated two Democratic challengers (Karen Darner in 2011 and Kathleen Murphy in 2013)

to retain her seat. The 10th District Democratic nominee, John Foust, has represented Dranesville District on the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors since 2008. Foust defended his decision earlier this year to vote with the majority of supervisors to raise the county’s real estate tax rate by a halfcent, even though average residential-property assessments already were 6.5 percent higher. The supervisor, who defeated incumbent Republican Joan DuBois in the 2007 election and was re-elected after beating Dennis Husch in 2011, said he voted for the final budget package only after supervisors voted down a substitute proposal he had put forward, which would have addressed pressing concerns without raising the real estate tax rate. Voting against the budget might have inoculated him a bit for the hotly contested congressional race, but Foust stood by his choice to vote for the final package. “Politically, I would have voted against the budget, but I thought it was the right decision,” he said. “You don’t always get what you want.” Both candidates promised to take a bipartisan approach to solving pressing issues. Comstock touted her success on legislation to support telework and eliminate projectlabor agreements on Metrorail’s Silver Line project, saving millions of dollars. “I have a unique ability to work with people in every county of the district,” she said. Foust cited how he had helped bring about long-stalled projects, such as utility undergrounding in downtown McLean and planned renovations at Lewinsville Senior Center. “I am everywhere. I am getting things done,” he said. “I do the little and big things.” n

Proudly named McEnearney Associates with no ampersand in the name, the firm was not built to be John and his employees but a company of like-minded professionals in which everyone is a part of the family. John was a pillar of the community, a mentor, leader and friend. The company will continue his legacy committed to the same principals and values on which it was founded. Our sympathy goes to the McEnearney family, including his six children – Sean, Sharon, Mark, Maureen, Mike and Kathy, eleven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

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 vis-

ited 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. 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 mental-

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

“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. But we also need to justify new expenditures.”

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. The superintendent also detailed a strategic plan he wants to make that would center on the question, “what should a LCPS graduate know and be able to do?” and he invited the business leaders and the elected officials in the room to take part in crafting it. “The concept of a strategic plan may induce some yawns but I think it’s an important step to ask, ‘how do we build and sustain the success of our schools,’” he said. “That’s an important conversation that we want to have this next year.” To get there, he plans to put together a workgroup of 50 to 60 stakeholders—including educators, parents, elected leaders and people from the business community—that will meet once before the end of this year and again early next year. They will develop goals and “strategic actions” on how to accomplish and measure those goals, Williams said. The superintendent also spoke briefly about his education philosophy—students who are engaged and have a sense of ownership in school assignments achieve longer lasting learning—but he did not mention the new initiative he’s been working on that will help make more of that possible in Loudoun schools. His One to the World concept, which encourages students to bring their own laptops or tablets to school, is expected to make up a hefty line item in his budget proposal next year. He has said that the initiative will be an investment, but has not indicated how much. Of the budget process, Williams encouraged those in the room to come at it with the right attitude. “Yes, there may be financial limitations, but let’s not just have a survivor mentality. Let’s have a success mentality, and build on this school division’s success.” n

ity, 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

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

items for sale. “Now it’s only seven to go,” she quipped. The two have plenty of experience: Clewis’ mother was chairman of the event, and as a child Clewis learned first-hand about the sale. Cromwell, “an adopted Loudoun girl” of 20 years standing, came to the event later. Last year’s switch from Friday and Saturday to Saturday and Sunday has been beneficial, Cromwell said. “It helped with the traffic flow on Rt. 15 and our sales were much better.” Last year’s gross was over $213,000, a record and far beyond the previous year’s gross of $184,000.

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

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.

Rummage Sale Continued from Page 28

Bird Special, which drew 850 shoppers for the chance to browse in relative peace throughout the first hour Saturday, raised more than $8,000—all dedicated to the Polly Clemens Nursery Fund. There will be the usual shuttle service all days between the various sale buildings, but Cromwell said some of the departments have been relocated in an effort to bring more sense to the shopping experience and to entice more shoppers. One innovation that she and Clewis are excited about is The Man Cave—a sprawling department that will contain everything for men, including clothing, shoes, tools, electronics, gadgets and power and garden equipment. The upscale “French Room” has been united with the main women’s clothing area, updated and known as “The Look.” The former French Room is now dedicated to children’s clothing, with toys nearby. Another innovation is a sit-down café, in addition to the regular grab and go food stand. The Waterford-Lovettsville Ruritans again will direct traffic to the various parking areas. When the sale opens Saturday, what the shopper will see is the result of months of work— collecting donated unneeded treasures and items throughout the year and during this last hectic week. Monday, Cromwell said, “We fed just shy of 200 people, and we’re hoping to have that much or more throughout the week.” What’s helped this year is a lot of new volunteers, including students. “They called, emailed us—‘how can we help’—it was a wonderful response,” Cromwell said. This week, volunteers worked from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day, unloading the items onto large commercial dollies. It’s like a hospital triage. “Eventually things find their way to the right place,” Clewis said. Saturday, the volunteers will be ready to go by 7:15 a.m. What seems a common thread to several key department heads is the pleasure they get from volunteering for a good cause, and the camaraderie they share. Scott Douglas and his wife Jeannie both volunteer, he as co-chair of the Sporting Goods Department and she as co-chair of the Linens Department. He is a retired longtime Loudoun Valley High School coach, while she is a Ladies Board member and longtime rummage sale committee member. They’ve been doing it for eight years. “I loved it,” Jeannie said of her first involvement, organizing the periodic Donation Days. She got Scott to help with the heavy lifting, and he then joined the sale committee. “We love it; everything is fun—and it gets us out of the house,” she said. “You make friends—we have get-togethers at Christmas, it’s a lot of fun.” Steve Olmstead works full-time, but he takes time off to co-chair the Electronics Department. This is his 12th year. When he moved to Loudoun in 2002, he enjoyed going to local garage sales. Asked to volunteer at the hospital sale, he did— and was immediately hooked. “I met these great old guys; it was fun setting out new treasures, it took me from digging around in garage sales,” he said. He also gets satisfaction knowing his work supports a good cause and the prices are “amazingly” reasonable. The team tests as many items as possible beforehand, and they install plugs so customers can test for themselves. While he devotes most of his time to cameras, videos, TVs and stereos, “I try to manage as much as possible without being too bossy,” Olmstead said. Like Clewis, Maggie Eastman got involved through her mother, who was on the Ladies Board. She eventually got involved when she saw her mother sorting items. “It looked pretty cool, so I volunteered.” She’s been doing it for 10 years. She and her sister Katie help with sorting before the sale and Maggie helps with Housewares during the sale. Maggie also cited the camaraderie engendered by the sale. “I look forward to seeing people once a year at this event.” As the big moment approached, Cromwell cheerfully predicted “It’ll be madness the entire weekend—good madness, but still madness.” And it’s a madness that produces a ton of good things— for those who work on the sale and those that benefit from it.

Whether you’re looking to splurge or as a film buff on a budget, there’s something for almost everyone. Through the festival’s website, film lovers can reserve places at individual film showings or purchase a package including several films and lots of extras. The festival’s Nov. 1 centerpiece film screening of “The Imitation Game” starring British heartthrob Benedict Cumberbatch and several related packages are already sold out, but festival executive director Susan Koch said there are still several options to choose from. “There’s still plenty there,” Koch said. “They’re selling briskly, which is good for us. I’d encourage people, if they’re interested in a particular film, to get their tickets now.” Tickets remain for other fun events and for most individual film screenings. There’s a $100 Future Filmmaker pass for students under 21, which includes six film tickets and two tickets to panel discussions or master classes offered during the festival. Tickets also are available for Friday’s Halloween Treats package, which includes a ticket to

Friday’s tribute to costume designer Colleen Atwood followed by a Venetian-style masquerade ball, four tickets to individual films and a ticket to Saturday afternoon’s concert at Salamander Resort honoring composer Marco Beltrami. And if you’re looking to go all out, the top of the line Backstage (All Access) Pass is still available. For $2,500, visitors can get access to the festival’s opening night film and gala, Saturday’s concert, a farm-to-table dinner with filmmakers, Saturday’s centerpiece film and reception and a pass to any and all film screenings. Tickets for individual films are $15, but are moving more quickly than last year, so if you have your heart set on catching the latest from Richard LaGravenese or Olivier Assayas, buy your tickets now. Koch said that ticket sales so far have been to a mix of locals, fans from DC and the closer suburbs, as well as industry folks from Los Angeles and other parts of the country. Staying at Salamander Resort, owned by film festival founder Sheila Johnson, is an option, but a number of lower-priced hotels near Dulles and in Leesburg are also offering discounts through the festival website at https://middleburgfilm.org/ area-hotel-discounts.

t all begins with a Sports Breakfast of Champions and continues with a ninerace card filled with fabulous Thoroughbred talent later in the evening when the 28th West Virginia Breeders Classics event goes off Saturday, Oct. 19 at Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races. Guests expected to be at the breakfast will include a number of former Washington Redskins, including Chris Cooley, Doug Williams, Brig Owens, Tim Smith and long-time Middleburg resident Sam Huff, also the CEO and chairman of the West Virginia Breeder Classics. The breakfast is sponsored by the Charles Town HBPA and the Hollywood Casino and will benefit the Charles Town Races chaplaincy and Eastern Panhandle Free Clinic. In addition to those football players, the breakfast also will honor three-time Eclipse Award-winning former jockey Ramon Dominguez. He was the regular rider of two-time Eclipse-winning turf champion Gio Ponti, whom he rode to victories in six Grade One stakes races. The main speaker at the breakfast will be longtime Middleburg area resident Leonard Shapiro, a former editor and sports columnist at The Washington Post and a member of the “writers’ wing” at the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, OH. The breakfast is scheduled at 9 a.m. and tickets are $15 per person. That evening, the $500,000 West Virginia Breeders Classics will highlight a nine-race card worth a total of $1.28 million. The Classic is for horses three years old and up and will be contested over 1 1/8 miles. It’s now the richest state-bred race in the country. Post time for the first race is 7 p.m. Three previous Classic winners will be in

the field this year—Russell Road, Lucy’s Bob Boy and Fred High. Russell Road has earned more than $1.6 million in his career, with 27 wins in 52 starts, including two Classic victories. Lucy’s Bob Boy has earned $735,000, with 20 wins in 29 starts and Fred High, last year’s Classic winner, has $514,000 in winnings, with nine victories in 39 starts. The co-feature will be the $200,000 Jefferson Security Bank Cavada Breeders Classic, named for Cavada, the only filly ever to win the West Virginia Breeders Classic. The Cavada is open to fillies and mares. Both races will be featured on Comcast Mid-Atlantic television and Fox Sports Network. The racing channel, HRTV, will air all nine races on the card. Since its inception, the West Virginia Breeders Classics have distributed $25 million in purse money to owners and breeders of West Virginia bred horses. “It’s become a major feature of the racing at Charles Town,” long-time Middleburg resident Carol Holden and president of the West Virginia Breeders Classics, said. “It’s also established Charles Town as a great place to have major events like the Charles Town Classic, a $1.5 million race and total of $2 million in purses for the card. The Breeders Classics being on national television has also helped establish racing at Charles Town.” Two other events are also associated with the Breeders Classics. A gala will be held Thursday, Oct. 16 starting at 7 p.m. at the Clarion Hotel in Shepherdstown and a celebrity golf tournament, also featuring a number of former Redskins, is scheduled at Locust Hill Golf Club in Charles Town Friday.

Middleburg Investor Looks To Build West Virginia Film Industry Leonard Shapiro

For Leesburg Today

r. William Hasselberger, an investment banker and private equity and oil specialist from Middleburg, has been in discussions recently with the West Virginia Film office about the possibility of producing television shows and films, including a TV mini-series on Daniel Boone, in the Mountaineer state. The original script for the Daniel Boone project already has been written by John Milius, one of Hollywood’s most highly regarded screenwriters. He also wrote the scripts for blockbuster films like “Conan The Barbarian” and “Apocalypse Now.” Hasselberger recently invested in Los Angeles-based Sennet Entertainment, an independent film and TV production company headed by Mark Sennet, a longtime Hollywood producer. “What appeals to us in West Virginia is the scenic beauty,” Sennet said in an interview. “It’s really been untapped by American film makers. They need an infrastructure for a tax credit program that’s comparable with other states. We’re trying to make a marriage work between Hollywood and government and keep American dollars in America. In West Virginia, it could be a huge business with money and jobs pouring into the state.” Pamela Haynes, director of the West Virginia film office, recently met with Hasselberger to discuss several projects. Haynes said she would be pleased to work with him and Sennet to come up with an attractive program that would induce them to film in the state. “We hope it happens,” she said. “It’s ultimately up to the investors in the project. Obviously the mission of the film office is to recruit the film industry. We’re encouraged by a major production company interested in doing business in the state. “We have a tax incentive program based on certain criteria. Aside from that, we can provide location support—introducing them to local property owners, expediting the permit process. We can assist them with local business leaders and vendors to open doors for things like hospitality. We can help facilitate many of the things they need and make them welcome wherever they decide to film.”

Hasselberger has spent much of his business career in Europe, working with several central banks, oil companies and private equity investment banks like the Carlyle Group and Riverstone. Sennet is a longtime producer of television programming and features. Actress Bo Derek has also been involved in the talks with both states and is expected to play major roles both in front of and behind the camera in their projects. They previously have been in discussions with high-level Virginia officials, including Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, about using the commonwealth as a future backdrop for a series called Capitol Crimes based on the novels of Washington author Warren Adler. Hasselberger is convinced that both Virginia and West Virginia are ideal venues for creative productions. Together with Sennet Entertainment, he is seeking sites to film another of its projects, a TV series on Formula One auto racing called The Drivers. Hasselberger and Sennet said they now plan to look at a racetrack in West Virginia as well as tracks in South Africa and Portugal that could be suitable for the production. “We were really surprised and excited about the possibility about doing work in West Virginia,” Hasselberger said. “Their incentive program is very attractive. The people seem friendly and interested, the cost factor is terrific and the scenery seems perfect for at least two of our current productions. I also intend to explore with them a sound stage project like what we’re currently looking at in Europe.” Sennet was the executive producer of the revolutionary and critically acclaimed “K Street” television series on HBO, as well as the Stephen King mini-series “Bag of Bones” on A&E. His company has several projects in development, including a feature film, “Reykjavik,” starring Michael Douglas, the story of the 1986 conference between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev that helped jumpstart nuclear disarmament. Sennet Entertainment and Pierce Brosnan’s Irish Dreamtime have partnered with Spike Television to produce the six-hour limited series “Crusaders,” written by Academy Award winner David Franzoni and acclaimed writer Mike Finch. n

he Loudoun County Equine Alliance is planning a special forum on the topic of “Landowners and Riders: Building Positive Relationships.” The program will be held Monday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at The Marion DuPont Equine Medical Center Library. LCEA has invited several longstanding landowners and equestrians to discuss their personal experiences and efforts to establish and maintain good landowner/rider relations. Panelists include attorney Bruce R. Smith, who specializes in equine law and landowner liability, Donna Rogers, MFH, Loudoun Fairfax Hunt, Tad Zimmerman, MFH, Piedmont Hunt,  Kim Yager, Foggy Bottom Ladies Equestrian Society, and landowner Al Van Huyck. The panel discussion is an educational effort to help avoid or resolve some of the problems that may arise when properties change hands or problems develop between landowners and organizations or individuals who ride their horses on property other than their own.

He noted one unfulfilled recommendation. “There’s no hotel yet, but we hope within the next year we will get a commitment,” Lohr said. Noting the town’s primary trade area is the Purcellville and Round Hill ZIP codes, Lohr noted a huge population growth since 2000, with growth expected to continue by another 9.3 percent, to 24,982, by 2018—only 4,000 less than the entire Town of Leesburg in 2000. Between them, the two ZIP codes have a median household income of $119,689, almost identical to Loudoun County at $119,124. Growth between 2000 and 2010 in Purcellville has been unprecedented, Lohr told the group, “but we all lived through it.” While the pace of growth has slowed, opportunities remain for continued commercial success in Purcellville. Childs said the report investigated how much area residents spent, how much the town captured and how to capture more. The Clothing sector would not be able to compete against the powerhouses of Leesburg and eastern Loudoun, but the report showed opportunities for niche clothing and specialty stores, Childs said. Grocery stores, nurseries/plant stores and home furnishings showed small gains and a lot of potential for increased revenue. The town’s influx of restaurants also is increasingly positive. While leakage—having area residents spend money elsewhere—continues in almost every retail category, much of that is attributable to the strength of Leesburg’s retail market. Retail share analysis shows Purcellville’s food and beverage stores with a 13.7 share, the highest of any category. The town’s tourism-related revenue base

has risen from 4.7 percent in 2006 to 20.8 percent, and the town has positioned itself well through its focus on wineries, breweries, tourism and public events. Childs also noted two major shifts in town since the 2006 study. Grocery store sales have ballooned from $49 million in 2006 to $142 million in 2014. The second shift is in dining. Although more full-service dining offerings are needed, the “leakage” gap narrowed from $11 million in retail market potential in sit-down dining in 2005 to $2.9 million in 2013. Demand for quick service has increased from $6.7 million in 2005 to $11.6 million in 2013, Childs noted. Lohr said there are 42 businesses paying the meals tax. Although 90 percent of the town’s business licenses are from locally owned, nonchain businesses, Lohr highlighted the report’s prediction that more small box retailers are coming. “We need to be prepared,” he said. He encouraged business representatives to “look and see how we might help you” as the town moves forward. After the meeting, Acting PBA President Jim Bowman said “one woman came up and said she was really surprised at how much the town has done to improve the business climate and how much new business has come to town.” “I think the report shows that the work of the previous town councils over the past 10 years is paying off,” he said. And while the amount of taxes being paid by the business community has grown, that in turn has helped residents. “It protects them somewhat, and, as a resident, I appreciate that.” For a copy of the full report, including comments made by residents in various input sessions, go to www.Purcellvilleva.gov or call 540-338-7421. n

illsboro has always done things differently at election time. Not only was it the only western Loudoun town to switch to a November election from the normal May municipal election date, but it also elects its government representatives entirely by write-in ballots. Mayor Roger Vance once described the process of finding candidates from among the town’s 100 residents thusly, “We just sort of check around to see who’s willing to do it again, and whose turn it is to serve.” For 2014 the assembled slate is Vance to return as mayor; and for Belle Ware, John Dean, Amy Marasco Newton, Don Hawkins and Stephen Walczak to serve on the Town Council. Vance is going for a record sixth term as mayor, having first been elected in 2004. Prior to that he served on the council from 1996.

hen Mac Brownell died in February, her many friends and admirers in the county mourned the loss of one of Loudoun’s most energetic and compassionate toilers on behalf of those in need with the establishment of a memorial fund. Oct. 7, which would have been Brownell’s 95th birthday, friends and family gathered at the Carver Center in Purcellville to give posthumous birthday presents—distributing more than $6,000 given in her honor to those who help provide adult day care services. “It was so fitting to honor our beloved Mac with a presentation of donations collected from the Mac Brownell Memorial Fund on her birthday,” her daughter-in-law, Jackie Brownell, stated.

Amy Marasco Newton is the founder and president of The Nature Generation, cofounder of the environmental and IT consulting firm Marasco Newton Group, and has 30 years’ experience as a management consultant in business and organizational services to government agencies, public and private sector companies and nonprofits. She owns and operates the Fieldstone Farm Bed & Breakfast, and was first elected to council in 2008. Hawkins is an architect and noted architectural historian, whose studies of the development of early Washington, DC, have been widely published. He is a DC native and studied architecture at Catholic University and Carn-

egie Tech, in Pittsburgh. He has served as chairman of the DC Parks and History Association. A longtime resident of Hillsboro, Hawkins is running for a second term on council, having been first elected to council in 2012. Walczak is the only newcomer to the slate, running to fill the vacancy left by Councilman Joe Gertig, who recently resigned. Walczak is manager of graphic production in the Office of Exhibits Production at the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1982 to 1986 as a combat illustrator and has lived in Loudoun since 1988. He moved to Hillsboro from Purcellville in 2012 and has recently completed an extensive restoration to one of Hillsboro’s historic stone houses. Walczak is also active in ongoing efforts to calm traffic on busy Rt. 9 through town. n

• The Bluemont Concert Series kicks off its 2014-2015 contra dance season Saturday. Held for more than 40 years, the venerable dance program is Bluemont’s oldest tradition—one in Hillsboro which scores of dancers of all ages, and all experience levels, joyfully participate on the third Saturday of each month, October through May. The dances feature oldtime square- and contra- dancing with music provided by a live band. Instruction and figure calling are provided at each dance. Those who have not yet enjoyed contra dancing are encouraged to come a bit early to participate in a beginners’ workshop. Families as well as single dancers are welcome. The first of eight contra dances will be held Saturday, Oct. 18 at the Hillsboro Old Stone School, beginning at 8 p.m., with the workshop at 7:30 p.m. Music will be by The Mount Rainier Ramblers, featuring Bruce Hutton on guitar, Chris Romaine on fiddle and Bill Mansfield on banjo. Admission is $12 and $8 for Bluemont Friends, students and seniors. The school is at 37098 Charles Town Pike (Rt. 9) just west of its intersection with Rt. 690. The organization is looking for local businesses, friends and neighbors to become Bluemont members to help continue the dances in Loudoun. Those interested should contact Lily Dunning at lily@bluemont.org or 540-955-8156. Those who would like to become a member of the volunteer committee that stages the monthly

Finz is no newcomer to Lovettsville Lovettsville, having previously served in the same capacity in 2006-2007 and as a consultant. As a retired municipal manager himself (as deputy county executive for Fairfax County and a city manager for Hollywood, FL, and College Park, MD), Finz has brought the necessary experience to head the town government until a new town manager is appointed.

catered by Calling Card Events. Offerings include scones with cream and jam, finger sandwiches, tea breads and assorted desserts, “all accompanied by endless pots of tea,” including the exclusive Aldie Mill Blend. During the tea, guests will be entertained by costumed ladies of the Civil War era, recounting stories of their 19th century forebears’ time on the home front during the four long years of war. Featuring triumph and tragedy, sorrow and mirth, their stories will come alive, as the re-enactors use their own words in dairies and letters of the period. After the tea, guests are invited to join members of the Aldie Horticultural Society in creating a “tussie-mussie,” a Victorianera posy to take home with them as a memento of the day.

No pressure, but guests, old or young, are welcome to try a little color and medieval dash in their attire—coming as their favorite princess, maiden, squire or knight.

German Students Get A Glimpse Of Life In Loudoun

Charlotte Schneider, from Germany, spent last week interning at Loudoun Therapeutic Riding through a student exchange program. Charlotte Fitzgerald

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. On and off the job, the German students noticed big differences between their home

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

An encore performance of “This Is My Brave” will take place Sunday, Oct. 26 at 3:30 p.m. at Briar Woods High School in Ashburn. Seven cast members will share their stories of recovery from mental illness through music, poetry and essays. An “ask the doctor” question and answer session will follow the performance. The panel will include Dr. Mark Komrad, a psychiatrist on the clinical and teaching staff at Sheppard Pratt Hospital and the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, MD, and author of the book “You Need Help: A Step-by-Step Plan to Convince Your Loved One to Get Counseling,” along with Nick Gentile, president of the Potomac Psychological Center in Ashburn. General admission tickets are $15 and $10 for students. Fifteen percent of proceeds will help provide a scholarship to a Briar Woods student interested in a career in health care. “This Is My Brave” is a Loudounbased nonprofit organization that provides a community and platform for people living with mental illness to speak out to end the stigma associated with mental health disorders.

It was the free refills at restaurants that stood out to Brendel as unique. “You can refill your drink again and again. That’s amazing,” he said. Schneider said communities are much more spread out in Loudoun compared with her hometown, where she can walk almost anywhere. She also noticed the food options are more varied here. “The aisles in the food stores are huge compared to those in Germany. We don’t even have half the range of products. I’m doing my best to taste as much as I can.” Late next month, 17 Loudoun students will get to see the differences between the two countries firsthand when they spend two weeks in Germany. Sharon Shatananda, a 16-year-old Tuscarora High School student, signed up for the exchange program to experience a new culture. She said she looks forward to staying with this writer’s family in Kelkheim, a town just outside of Frankfurt. “I really want to see the famous Christmas market in Frankfurt and some German castles.” The George C. Marshall International Center plans to expand the student exchange program to include exchanges with France and the United Kingdom, with a long-term goal to have student exchange programs with each of the 17 western and southern European countries that were included in the Marshall Plan recovery initiative following World War II.

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.

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 locations 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

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 Leesburg 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

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 Leesburg 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.

A video tribute was played on the new scoreboard, then “He’d be so proud of them,” Burnett added. “Every win we’ve Tuscarora Principal Pamela Paul-Jacobs and Athletic Director had this year has been a little bittersweet because of that. It’s just Derek Farrey presented each member of Fortune’s family with a nice in life when good people are celebrated. It was the type of replica plaque of the one that has been placed at the entrance to game he would have loved—great kids making great plays.”  the stadium denoting Fortune Field.

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: 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: 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.

C la ssi fi ed

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

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.

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 Super visors 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

Next Week’s Question: Are you ready for November’s election?

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 chil-

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

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.

dren’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 documented 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 cost-effectiveness 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. Malcolm Baldwin, Lovettsville

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. 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. Congress needs to hear about the most promising opportunities and funding needs directly from NIH scientists. To learn how you can join the fight against Alzheimer’s, visit alz.org.

To Approach Budget With Optimism

Janelia’s model involves scientists 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

“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.”

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. “Basically, 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

rounding properties. She also highlighted county planning policies that would permit up to 1,000 residential units to be built on the property in a mixed-use arrangement. Her comments were followed by speaker after speaker strongly urging supervisors to approve the rezoning. Supervisors clearly did not share residents’ enthusiasm for the proposal. Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) called Director of Economic Development Buddy Rizer to answer questions about whether there was a market demand for land zoned for general industrial development. “It always concerns me whenever we lose any of our commercial property to other uses because we are fairly limited in a lot of our uses,” Rizer said. “Having the availability of these products keeps us in the game for a lot more projects than we would normally have.” Rizer said there are fewer than 10 parcels zoned for general industrial development that are more than 20 acres in size and told supervisors the county recently received a request for proposals from a user looking for 100 acres on which to build a distribution facility. Supervisors also honed in on the impact of adding more school students by approving 576 residential units. The main concern was

the availability of seats at the elementary school level, with Cool Spring Elementary already operating near capacity. While the promise of a 15-acre school site from the developer would help, several supervisors pointed out that the county would be on the hook to construct the $35 million school building. Supervisors Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) was among the board members who said more input was needed from the Leesburg Town Council. Although the council has endorsed several referral reports from the town planning staff raising concerns about the application, it has not taken a formal position to support or oppose the project. Higgins also raised concerns about the higher out-of-town utility rates residents and businesses in the development would pay and questioned whether the land should be annexed into the town. Despite its size, the developer’s proffer package also failed to impress supervisors. They raised concerns that the construction phasing plan would result in a large number of houses before much commercial development was in the ground and offered little assurance the promised road construction would be fully realized. “This is not a good deal for the county. This is a very bad deal,” Letourneau said. Supervisors sent the application to the Nov. 21 meeting of the board’s Transportation/ Land Use Committee for further review. n
