Academies Advocates Eye Next Steps s many in Northern Virginia waited for election results to roll in last Tuesday, likely keeping a close watch on how their party would fare, Wendy Wooley was waiting for a different voter tally. She wasn’t rooting for a particular candidate but instead for the approval of the $162.9 million school bond referendum. Minutes after the polls closed, she pulled up a Web link to the Loudoun
County Voter Registrar’s spreadsheet and watched the numbers trickle in, precinct by precinct, with her breath held. “I was worried,” she said. “I didn’t want to take anything for granted.” As a member of Loudoun’s Citizen Volunteer Workgroup, a joint advisory committee of the School Board and Board of Supervisors, Wooley was tasked with drumming up support for the Academies of Loudoun in the months leading up to Election Day. The school bond question—approved by 66 percent of voters last week—included funding for
an elementary school and a middle school, but the largest ticket item is the $114.6 million Academies of Loudoun. The project, now planned for a 2018 opening, will combine expanded versions of the advanced high school the Academy of Science and the county’s career and technical school, C.S. Monroe Technology Center, as well as the new Academy of Engineering and Technology. Voters did more than approve how the project would be funded, as Wooley, a parent of a teenager who “lives and breathes robotics,” sees it. They showed their support for a project that has been pushed down the priority list for more
than a decade to make room for new elementary, middle and high schools. “It’s more than just a school,” she said. “It truly is a STEM initiative that involves the entire community of Loudoun County.”

oudoun County supervisors won’t be getting a pay raise anytime soon. The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously last week to table indefinitely a proposal to raise its chairman’s salary by $20,000 and individual supervisors’ pay by $10,000. Currently, Board Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) earns $50,000, Vice Chairman Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) is paid $45,320 and the remaining members of the board are compensated $41,200 each. The board’s’ finance committee voted Oct. 14 to recommend that the full board make the pay increases, which wouldn’t have been effective until the next Board of Supervisors takes office in January 2016. State law stipulates that supervisors currently in office can’t vote to raise their own pay.
“Clearly, there wasn’t support on the board for this discussion.” Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles)

The committee’s recommendation incited lots of comments in Loudoun and elsewhere. But the board’s action last week came with barely any discussion. “I will say I’ve been unequivocal from day one with everybody on this board that, under no circumstances, would I support a raise or salary adjustment for the next board coming into office, and I stand by that,” Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) said before making the motion to table. And Supervisor Matthew F. LetourContinued on Page 27

proponents for use of the sensors, recently presented two alternative options to Brain Sentry’s devices. One is the Riddell InSite sensor pad that’s placed inside the helmet and the other is a device by Shockbox, which sends an alert to a connected smart phone if an athlete takes a hard hit. The parents have said they will purchase the devices and collect and track all data, but are just looking for approval from the school system for their children to use them in practice and games. Administrators stopped a Loudoun Valley football practice in August when several players attached Brain Sentry sensors, which were purchased by parents, to their helmets. Players were told they could not play if they used the sensors. Tim Cocrane, athletic trainer at Potomac Falls High School, told School Board members he was speaking on behalf of many of the county’s athletic trainers when he said there Continued on Page 28

he organizers of Saturday’s massive countywide Scouting For Food drive were still tallying their results this week, but the donations are well-timed as Loudoun’s food pantries gear up for their busiest time of the year. Last year, the youth-powered effort netted more than 104,000 pounds of food donations divided among Loudoun Interfaith Relief, Tree of Life Food Pantry, Western Loudoun Food Pantry, Messiah’s Market, Seven Loaves, LINK, and Catholic Charities. While 2014 totals weren’t available by press time, Loudoun Interfaith Relief Executive Director Jennifer Montgomery said more than 25,000 pounds of food was delivered and sorted at the food pantry’s Leesburg storage facility Saturday. And she said the scouts’ work is critical to the organization’s effort to meet the need of county residents, especially during the upcoming holiday season.

Scouts Work To Fill Food Pantry Shelves

Leesburg Today/Norman K. Styer
Scouts work at Loudoun Interfaith Relief’s Leesburg collection center Saturday to sort more than 12 tons of food donated by area residents.
oudoun Interfaith Relief Director Jennifer Montgomery and her staff are just days away from the annual Thanksgiving distribution. But demand is sharply up, donations through food drives are slightly down and more donations, particularly $10 grocery gift cards, are needed if the county’s largest food pantry is to meet the need during the Nov. 20-22 distribution. “We’ve handed out almost 90,000 pounds of more food during the fourmonth period July 13-Oct. 13 this year than we did during the same period in 2013,” Montgomery said this week. That’s a 22 percent increase, she said. The LIR staff also has noticed a 13 percent increase over the past two months in people seeking services, according to Montgomery. She and her staff have been racking their brains for the reason for the sizeable increase of those needing assistance. “Food expenses are up and, although people are finding jobs, wages are stagnant. At the same time, the cost of living is increasing, as are medical costs and people are having to work multiple jobs just to make ends meet,” Montgomery said. Food donations are only slightly down, but the significant rise in the number of people needing assistance has put a big dent in supplies. “We give out 3,500 pounds a day—to between 75 and 85 families six days a week,” Montgomery said, noting last Saturday, the food pantry gave food supplies to 92 families. On average, 10 pounds of food goes out the door with each person. If one assumes 85 families, that’s 85 gallons of milk, orange juice, or 85 cartons of eggs, when available. “That’s a lot of food,” Montgomery said of the weekly

supply that is intended only to be a supplement to clients’ food supplies. Montgomery has a pretty extensive knowledge of the social services field and human needs around the county, having run the Loudoun Free Clinic, worked for Loudoun Cares and now heads Loudoun Interfaith Relief, but even she is shocked by the amount of need. “I did not know or realize the volume of people who need extra help over the holidays,” she said. Montgomery cited the case of one woman who was proud of not having had to ask for assistance for six months, but her car broke down and she couldn’t afford to manage her car repair costs as well as food. “That’s why we are here,” Montgomery said. LIR is working to provide Thanksgiving dinner baskets to some 2,000 families Nov. 20-22. Residents and businesses are encouraged to dig deep and help fill the shortage of needed supplies. There are two ways to help: One is to conduct a food drive in the neighborhood, at work or church, or among friends to collect items such as boxed potatoes, canned sweet potatoes, stuffing, canned vegetables, gravy, cranberry sauce and baking items for families to make at home. A huge need each year is for $10 grocery gift cards to help families buy a turkey or other meat. Each basket gets a gift card, so $20,000 in gift cards would be needed to meet this year’s demand. The cards and food donations may be dropped off Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. or Saturday from 8:30 a.m.-noon. The LIR Pantry is located at 750 Miller Drive SE, Suite A-1 in Leesburg. Donations also may be made on line at www. interfaithrelief.org. For information, call 703-7775911. n

oudoun County student athletes will not be allowed to use helmet impact sensors, school system administrators concluded last week. After months of debate among parents, athletic trainers and the sensor providers over whether the new technology can help curb concussions on the field, Deputy Superintendent Ned Waterhouse said the administration has decided not to allow the devices in practices or games. “I don’t think [the school system’s] mission is to do research in sports medicine or researching in validating devices like this,” Waterhouse told members of the School Board’s Health, Safety and Transportation Committee at a Nov. 5 meeting. “I’m not saying we should never use helmet sensors. I’m saying right now we’re making a responsible decision to decline to
do a helmet sensor pilot or study in our high schools.” Last March, Bethesda, MD-based company Brain Sentry offered to outfit every Loudoun County football and lacrosse player with helmet impact sensors, and Inova’s Neuroscience Research program offered to track data obtained from the sensors free of charge to the school system. The sensors light up when an athlete takes a hit to the head at 80G or more, indicating he or she should be checked for a concussion. Loudoun County Public Schools declined the offer, citing concerns raised by high school athletic trainers that the sensors had not yet been sufficiently tested, that athletes wearing the devices may be targeted on the field and that the sensors use could result in false positives or negatives that would hinder trainers’ ability to accurately treat athletes. Parents of Loudoun Valley High School football players, who have been the leading

wo 17-year-old students at Briar Woods High School have been charged with assault and battery following a Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office investigation into an incident that occurred in the school’s locker room last month. Investigators determined the incident did not qualify as a hazing case under Virginia law. The students allegedly assaulted an underclassman on the football team after regular school hours Oct. 9. The names of the two suspects have not been released because they are juveniles. The investigation began after school personnel made the school resource officer aware of the allegations Oct. 17. Sheriff’s office detectives investigated the allegations working with the school resource officer, school system administrators, parents and the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. During the investigation, a second student was identified as a possible victim, but he declined to proceed with any charges outside the school. After consultation with the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, it was agreed that no charges would be sought in that case.
in the case. Johnson was found dead from a gunshot wound in his vehicle parked near the intersection of Great Trail Terrace and Trail Run Terrace in Sterling Dec. 27, 2012. During the trial, prosecutors said Williams killed Johnson for “snitching” about a prior shooting and trying to send him to jail. According to testimony, Williams learned where Johnson would be Dec. 27, 2012, and had his thengirlfriend Linsey B. Hardwick drive him to the area. Williams got into the front passenger side of Johnson’s Mercedes Benz SUV and shot him five times. Hardwick testified against Williams in the case and later pleaded guilty as an accessory to the murder. In recent weeks the final outcome of the case was uncertain after Williams’ court-appointed defense attorneys filed a motion seeking to overturn the verdict after another prosecution witness, a jail inmate who claimed Williams told him information about the case, made written claims alleging misconduct by the investigator and prosecutors. However, when called to the witness stand, Venus Chand said his allegations were untrue and Horne denied the motion. Williams’ attorneys expect the elements of the trial will merit an appeal.

CIGARETTE BLAMED FOR TOWNHOUSE FIRE A resident’s decision to extinguish a cigarette
in a deck flowerpot resulted in $5,000 in damage to a South Riding townhouse early last Wednesday morning. According to Loudoun Fire-Rescue, crews were called to the Herring Creek Drive home at 2:15 a.m. Nov. 5 for a report of a house fire. Units from Dulles South, Arcola, Fairfax and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority responded, finding an end-unit townhouse with smoke showing from the rear and all occupants located safely outside. Firemen found the remnants of a small fire on the deck where it met the exterior wall of the home. The homeowner had extinguished the fire with a garden hose before fire trucks arrived. The fire was limited to the exterior of the home. Investigators determined an improperly discarded cigarette in a flowerpot caused the fire. The incident prompted a new warning about the fire dangers of cigarettes and other smoking materials, including the following safety tips: • Put your cigarette out, all the way out, every time. • If you smoke, the safest place to smoke is outside. • Use a noncombustible ashtray with a wide, stable base to reduce the likelihood of it tipping over. • Place ashtrays on hard, sturdy, non-flammable surfaces. • Make sure to put cigarettes in proper containers such as metal or ceramic pots filled with sand, not potting soil. • Place containers away from the house, not on the front porch, deck or just outside the front door. • Soak cigarette butts and ashes in water before throwing them away. Never toss hot cigarette butts or ashes in the trash. • Cigarettes purchased in the US are required to be reduced ignition strength cigarettes or “firesafe” cigarettes. Cigars and other smoking materials are not regulated and therefore may be more Continued on Next Page

South King Street Widening Reaching Final Stages
T
own Council cleared a final hurdle to begin the next phase of widening South King Street on Monday night, as it approved a resolution to acquire land rights for drainage, construction and landscaping. The council voted to acquire the temporary construction easement on one property by condemnation because an agreement hasn’t been reached through negotiation. “In order to widen the road, we have to pass this,” Vice Mayor Dave Butler said. “We’ve been through this before. It’s nothing new.” The project will widen South King Street from two to four lanes between Greenway Drive and Masons Lane. Construction is slated to start in the spring. Capital Projects Land Acquisition Manager Keith Wilson noted the project is a fully funded capital project for which there are several funding sources. The council passed the resolution for condemnation, 6-1, with Councilman Tom Dunn opposed. The town had offered $12,217 to the landowner after receiving appraisals, but an agreement hasn’t been reached. The council members were told the landowner believes the land will be worth more once the project is completed. “A public need exists and we have to proceed,” Councilman Kevin Wright said. Once construction is finished, the town will entertain any counteroffers and let the court decide on a price if an agreement isn’t reached. “We’ve done the work and offered them [$]12 [thousand], so I’m confused about the process,” Councilwoman Kelly Burk said. “We shouldn’t renegotiate after the property is done because they want to see it get better so it’s worth more,” Dunn said.

After just eight months of operation, Loudoun Pilates has expanded. The studio, located at 604 S. King St., has added room for several new classes that will be part of the group schedule, including a class introducing Pilates to men. “I’m pretty overwhelmed,” owner Amy Hershey, of Middleburg, said. “Obviously, I hoped we would get to the level we’re at to expand, but I thought it would be sometime around year one, not in month seven. Leesburg Today/Mike Stancik I think that goes to show Loudoun Pilates Owner Amy Hershey instructs a chair class, which is how much people enjoy known to be the most challenging Pilates activity. it and the quality of our instructors.” Hershey developed a passion for Pilates while completing her degree at the University of Colorado,

Around Sept. 1, Citigroup, the underwriter for Leesburg’s 2011 bond issuance, reported that the town violated multiple disclosure rules. Those included: failure to disclose that the town filed the 2006 CAFR late; the 2013 CAFR was filed in a timely fashion but in the wrong format; and two supplementary schedules that are required to be included were not filed between 2009 and 2013 because the town thought the information was sufficiently covered in other documents. “The SEC will recommend favorable settlement terms to cities, counties and towns involved in the offer or sale of the municipal bonds as well as underwriters, if they self-report,” Director of Finance and Administrative Services Clark Case said. Case noted that once the questionnaire is filed by Dec. 1, the SEC would review the information and determine whether the violations were material enough for punishment. Fines and penalties can range between $75,000 and $375,000 in noncompliance cases, and legal fees would be added to the full-blown SEC investigation, council members were told. “So it would be really dumb for us not to do this,” Vice Mayor Dave Butler said. Case also said that Citigroup “took a very conservative approach and disclosed every admission they could find.” He said there would be no adverse impact on Leesburg’s bond rating. “We have to develop a policy to create steps each year to ensure compliance so it becomes part of the regular process,” Councilman Kevin Wright said.

ust weeks after the Leesburg Town Council approved a zoning change requested by the Village at Leesburg developers to remove a limit on restaurant space in one area of the project, a new eatery has announced plans to set up shop in town. The Rappaport Companies, which oversees leasing at the Village, announced Tuesday that Pitmaster Hospitality, a newly formed restaurant group, will establish its first concept, named Smokehouse Live, in a 16,231-square-foot retail space. The owners plan a full-service barbecue and live entertainment venue. The business, which will be located at 1602 Village Market Blvd., Suite E-120, is slated to open late next spring. “Village at Leesburg continues to expand its offerings with the ultimate in ‘something for everyone’,” Rappaport’s Senior Director of Leasing and Brokerage Susan Bourgeois said. “A dedicated state-of-the-art entertainment venue blended with a full-service restaurant like Smokehouse Live is unprecedented in this market and is guaranteed to draw from all of Northern Virginia and beyond.” Owners Jim Foss and Kristopher Diemar
bring a bevy of experience to the new concept. Foss served as director of operations for the Hill County Barbeque Market and as vice president of operations and culinary for Capital Restaurant Projects, which operates Georgia Brown’s, Old Glory, J. Paul’s, Paolo’s, Neyla, Georgetown Seafood Grill and The River Club. He’s also a nine-time James Beard Foundation Guest Chef and Award Winner. Diemar, who will manage front-of-house operations, has served as the director of operations and general manager of Bond 45, Carmine’s and Buddakan, and is a two-time Managing Partner of the Year Award winner for the Roy’s Hawaiian Fusion restaurant collection. More specifics regarding the restaurant will emerge in the coming months, but the announcement is expected to be the start of a new wave of leasing activity at the Village. Councilwoman Kelly Burk said during a recent town meeting that the rezoning “enhances the abilities of that development even more.” “The addition of Smokehouse Live solidifies Village at Leesburg as the region’s premier shopping, dining and entertainment destination,” Bourgeois said.

Brooke Nichols, who takes classes on the mat, reformer and tower, said she loves the different program options and thinks the teaching definitely stands out at Loudoun Pilates. “Amy is probably one of the toughest Pilates instructors I’ve met, she’s amazing,” said Nichols, who attends three times a week. “And I’ve gone to a lot of really good instructors, but she’s hands down one of the best.” New group classes include a beginner reformer Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m., an intermediate reformer Mondays at 7:30 p.m., intermediate mat Thursdays at 8:30 a.m. and a beginner reformer Thursdays at 9:30 a.m. The introduction to Pilates for men starts Nov. 12 at 7:30 p.m. and is a special four-week course for $120 that will introduce the principles and benefits of Pilates. “We have several male clients but need a class that addresses their needs,” Hershey said. “Anytime a guy comes in, he loves it.” More information and classes, which can be signed up for online, can be found at www.loudounpilates.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LoudounPilates.

Market St. The exhibit puts the spotlight on students from Smart’s Mill Middle School. The work of the students in the classes of Lesley McWilliams and Paul Eskew will be available for viewing through January, and will display drawings and mixed media designs that explore the elements of value and pattern. In September, the Leesburg Town Council unanimously approved the Commission of Public Art’s proposal to create a rotating art exhibit provided entirely by Loudoun County students in Town Hall. “It will be great for our students to showcase their work in a public setting and I look forward to seeing the art,” Councilwoman Katie Sheldon Hammler said following the vote to create the exhibit.

he Loudoun County Board of Supervisors voted 5-4 last week to allow Loudoun Water to build a 189-foot-tall, 1-million-gallon water storage tank on the south side of Red Hill Road and Stone School Lane. Loudoun Water asked the supervisors for approval to build two tanks, the first slated to be placed in service by late 2016 or early 2017. The second tank then would follow later based on demand for water. The plan to build the tanks, however, was widely criticized by residents living on and near Red Hill Road. Attending the supervisors’ Nov. 5 meeting, critics said the proposed structures would be unsightly, and they noted that they would have to live with them despite not using them because their homes are served by private wells. Many of the opponents wore red clothing and held red-and-white signs. Some even put together a Facebook page touting their side. “This is a quick and dirty solution,” said Chester Kmak, who called the water-tower effort the “wrong project at the wrong site.” Noting these concerns, Supervisor Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) made a motion to deny approval of the tanks. She said that the tanks could be placed at ground level or even underground to reduce their impact. “It is being done in the adjacent commu-
nities,” Clarke said, noting that Prince William and Fairfax counties use a variety of waterstorage options. Loudoun Water representatives previously told supervisors that those alternatives would require costly changes to the distribution system. Clarke’s motion failed, 4-5, and then Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) moved to approve only one of the towers, saying Loudoun Water assured him that a single tower would cover the immediate needs. “The challenge, board members, is this is not the first time we have looked at a public facility, or a public utility, that the neighbors, unfortunately, haven’t liked,” York said. His motion was approved, 5-4, with Vice Chairman Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run) and Supervisors Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles), Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) and Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) in agreement. Clarke and Supervisors Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin), Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) and Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) voted against the motion. Reached after the meeting, Williams said a problem with building public facilities is that someone won’t like them no matter where they’re located. And he said he was concerned about the cost effectiveness of building another kind of water-storage unit or doing anything else that could delay an addition to the county’s water service. “Waiting is not the answer,” he said.

Loudoun supervisors voted 5-0-4 last week to support at least a legislative study of allowing Virginia hunters to bait deer to help reduce the animal population. It’s an effort that could assist in lowering the number of deer-car crashes in the county. Last year, Loudoun was the scene of 360 such wrecks, the most in the Old Dominion, according to AAA Mid-Atlantic. Indeed, Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) told a story about a neighbor’s crash leading him to want to lower the deer population. “It wasn’t like I was motivated by some hunter logic,” he said. “It was self-preservation for my neighbors, who have these giant rats fly into their window at a moment’s notice, and they’re sitting there with Bambi in the front seat.” The supervisors’ vote would back legislation legalizing deer-baiting, or even a bill that would simply study the issue. Deer-baiting involves placing food near hunting blinds or clearings in hopes of luring a deer into close range for hunters. Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) and Supervisors Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn), Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) and Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) abstained from the vote. York, Higgins and Letourneau cited a lack of knowledge of the matter. n

Loudoun supervisors voted 7-1-1 last week to provide bus service for the Rt. 50 corridor and communities west of Dulles Airport. The Southeastern Institute of Research surveyed Dulles South residents about bus needs and found that those most likely to become bus riders were interested in direct links from their neighborhood to Silver Line Metro stations or to other transit services such as the Fairfax Connector. Following a consultant’s recommendation, the supervisors agreed to launch Dulles South bus service as early as January. A single bus is scheduled to follow a route that includes the East Gate Park Loudoun Station and Dulles South park-and-ride lots, as well as the East Gate Market Place, South Riding Town Center, South Riding Marketplace, Stone Ridge Village Center, Legacy Park and Loudoun Station. The single-bus service will cost $374,106 annually, with funds already earmarked in the county budget. “This is much-needed,” Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said in moving to approve the route. Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg), however, said he’s just not sure that everyone who showed interest in the buses will take advantage of them. “I just really question whether people are really going to use this,” said Reid, who cast the sole dissenting vote.

his actions on behalf of many nonprofits—LPS, the Loudoun County Sesquicentennial Committee, the Land Trust of Virginia and the Mosby Heritage Area Association, Oatlands Plantation and the PDR board, as well as his leadership of the board of the George C. Marshall International Center [the Marshall House] for many years. Price is a principal with the McCandlish & Lillard law firm. In response, Price also echoed the theme of teamwork as crucial to getting the job done. He became a director of the George C. Marshall International Center in 1998 and president in 2001. “It was a time when we were restoring the property and it was very tight,” he recalled. Price credited Herring with helping to get two subsequent appropriations from the Board of Supervisors of $100,000 each to help pay down the sizeable mortgage on the Marshall House. “I would lie awake, worrying about how to make payroll,” he said. Mayor Kristen Umstattd, Council members Kelly Burk and Marty Martinez and Attorney General Mark R. Herring, who formerly was the Board of Supervisors’ liaison to the library, welcomed Wells back to Leesburg from Pennsylvania, where he and his wife, Debbie, now live. Herring, Waddell’s stepson, said he was a Loudoun supervisor when he first met Wells. “He was someone you could go to, honest and hard-working.” Umstattd cited Wells’ “personal support for the history of Loudoun and Leesburg, and in particular for the Balch Library.” Calling himself a big fan of the library system in Loudoun and of the Balch, Wells recalled he was “part of the story” in the effort to save the small Leesburg library, which faced closure when the modern Rust Library opened nearby in the early 1990s. Then deputy county administrator, Wells helped craft the deal that resulted in the Leesburg government taking over
Local Businessman Gives Away $144 Furnace Tune-Ups For $79
Opi ni on
Fairfax & Loudoun Co. - Your furnace is one of the most expensive appliances you have in your home. Just like your car, your furnace has dozens of crucial parts and therefore needs to be professionally tuned-up and cleaned on an annual basis. One local business, Snell Heating & Air Conditioning has announced an unusual marketing compaign where they have discounted their tune ups by 46%. During October & November, Fairfax & Loudoun Co. homeowners can receive a complete precision tune-up and professional cleaning normally priced at $144 for only $79.

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.

Peterson and Leesburg attorney, “behind-thescenes” activist and volunteer Steve Price were given history awards for their work. Balch Library Commission Chairman Jim Hershman Jr. said the awards program has become the commission’s signature event. Also recently retired Town Manager John A. Wells and former Loudoun supervisor and State Sen. Charles L. Waddell were honored for their service over the years. Peterson was cited for his many contributions to research, preservation and documentation of the memory of African Americans in Loudoun County’s history, according to presenter and black history author Kevin Grigsby. It is from Peterson that residents found much of their knowledge of African American soldiers of the Civil War, Grigsby said, noting his work on 200 years of history that has led him from his initial discovery of a lone Loudoun African American Civil War soldier, Dennis Weaver, to unearthing information about hundreds of others. Grigsby particularly cited Peterson’s work on the Rock Hill Cemetery in Bluemont over a 50-year period. “He gave them identity … and a connection to other communities,” Grigsby said, lauding Peterson’s ‘watching and caring eye.’ And Peterson’s eloquent voice, his poetic storytelling and wealth of knowledge makes him “our griot,” he said. The 83-year-old Peterson reacted emotionally to Grigsby’s remarks and his award. “You don’t know what this means to me,” he said as he choked up and softly beat on his heart. He thanked Grigsby for his assistance. “It’s not easy to find someone who would give you a hand—it adds more years to your life,” he said. Presenter Lori Kimball, who is president of the Loudoun Preservation Society, said volunteers are at the core of history and historic preservation endeavors—and often little recognized—citing Price as the perfect exemplar. Kimball recounted
It’s a great situation for homeowners because not only are they getting a pre-season tune-up on their furnace, they are also getting it performed by a seasoned professional at a great price.”
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.
Balch and developing it into a library specializing in history and genealogy. “There’s nothing like the Balch anywhere else. It’s very special. You have to go away to realize that,” Wells said. Waddell was recognized for his years of personal and legislative support of history and preservation throughout the commonwealth and particularly in Loudoun. He was introduced by Anne Donovan Larson, of Taylorstown, who was part of a coalition of western Loudoun activists who worked with Waddell to prevent the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers damming Catoctin Creek to provide a drought water resource for Fairfax County and Washington, DC. Recalling that in the 1960s Fairfax City was seeking to use eminent domain to establish a reservoir on Goose Creek, Waddell, with the aid of fellow legislator Ray Ashworth, was able to create a new state law to prevent one jurisdiction from condemning another without its agreement. In 1976 and 1977, the legislature designated first Goose Creek, then Catoctin Creek, as state scenic rivers. Sitting in the audience were other participants of that epic fight, including Phil and Sandra Ehrenkranz. Waddell thanked Wells for his work, as deputy county administrator, on the Purchase of Development Rights program that helped save for perpetuity some of the county’s most scenic resources. He also cited Price, for his work on the George C. Marshall International Center board, as well as that of Leesburg attorney Bob Sevila and the late B. Powell Harrison who supported Waddell in getting a $500,000 appropriation to help purchase the Leesburg property of Gen. George C. Marshall and his wife. That appropriation served as a down payment on the $2.2 million mortgage held by the board of directors. “I had a lot of help; it was a team effort,” Waddell said. n

While talk of teaming with the library system and NVCC continues, school system leaders are seeking the input of another group of stakeholders: the men and woman who will one day employ today’s students. Input from industry leaders is vital as the academies take shape, School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said, because they know what skills students need to fill the jobs of the future. “We want to make sure we’re keeping this as fresh and cutting edge,” he said, “and the best way to do that is to incorporate people from the industry because they’re more likely to see what’s coming and what’s needed.” The School Board’s Ad Hoc Committee on the Academies of Loudoun will meet next month to talk about the best way to hear from leaders in the tech industry. Hornberger said appointing those in the business community to an advisory committee that reports to either Superintendent Eric Williams or the School Board is being considered. Their input will help guide the completely new Academy of Engineering and Technology. That academy will provide four-year programs where students take either computer science or integrated engineering courses freshmen and sophomore year and, in their junior and senior years, choose from certification, Advanced Placement, dual-enrollment or a variety of other advanced STEM courses. The educational programming also will guide the design of the building. Loudoun County is good at churning out elementary, middle and high schools because they’ve adopted a prototype. But the design for the Academies of Loudoun will come from a blank slate. “This isn’t a prototype, so it will take some time,” Hornberger said, noting that even the building will need to be designed with the next innovations, whatever they may be, in mind. “We’re designing something that, frankly, we know will have to evolve in the future.” He expects the design to be complete by next spring to stay on track for the facility to open in the fall of 2018. After decades of planning, and then replanning, for some form of the Academies of Loudoun, many in the education community are just appreciative that a timeline to build and open the facility has been set. But others may not be as patient. Said Hornberger: “One of the things I keep hearing from people is they’re not only in favor of the Academies of Loudoun, but they want to know why can’t we build it faster.” n
Bu s in e s s
The third piece being considered for the Academies of Loudoun campus is a library that would be a community resource for all things STEM: science, technology, engineering and math. The Loudoun County Public Library Board of Trustees is urging county supervisors to include plans for a STEM library in its Capital Improvement Program, which serves as a road map for building projects over the next five years. For now, the vision for what Loudoun library leaders say is likely the first of its kind is a facility that encourages study in the four STEM fields. Library Board Chairman Mark Miller said he wants it to be more than books about STEM. It also should provide “makerspaces”—do-ityourself spaces—that give people a chance to test out a 3D printer, a laser or a microscope. It would be staffed with librarians who specialize in STEM material, and, similar to Loudoun’s other libraries, it would operate under the umbrella of the county government and be designed as an asset to all residents. It could be a resource for students and staff at the Academies of Loudoun, but also could host specialized programming for chil-

design to what type of classes will be offered. A recent vote by the Loudoun County School Board formally encouraged talks about sharing part of the 119-acre Academies of Loudoun site along Sycolin Road with a STEM library—operated by the county’s public library system—and a Northern Virginia Community College satellite campus that would serve as a dual-enrollment STEM academy. NVCC has been looking to establish a second campus in Loudoun for several years. When School Board members heard this news a year ago, they told NVCC Provost Julie Leidig to consider co-locating it with the new academy. “When I heard that, it just seemed too good to pass up,” Liedig said this week. The plan is in its early stages, but Liedig envisions a campus that offers STEM-focused, dual-enrollment courses that allows high school students to earn college credits. Sharing a site also would help the college bolster its partnership with C.S. Monroe Technology Center, where students are already taking courses in IT, horticulture and automotive technology through the college. In addition, NVCC is considering moving its medical programming from Springfield to Loudoun, Liedig said. “We’re trying to keep the cost of college low,” she said. “So if we can partner with the high schools right on the same property with the students who are already technologicallyoriented and help them earn at least a year of college credit while they’re still in high school, that’s huge.”

dren on up to adults, who could use the facility for research. “Where libraries are going is not so much as the stacks and stacks of books, but more toward unique programming and as community centers,” Miller said. “We have that opportunity here.”

crowd of about 50 parishioners at the Church of Our Saviour at Oatlands turned out Sunday, Nov. 2 for the ceremonial breaking of ground for a new church. The rector, the Reverend James Basinger, turned the first spade of dirt and remarked how fortunate the congregation was to have found a beautiful site only two miles from the current building and so well situated for future church growth. The church will be built on the 24-acre Oakworth Farm north of the present church building. Site work will begin later this month. The congregation worships in the tiny white building, which dates from 1876, located just south of Oatlands on the east side of Rt. 15. The congregation predates the church, which it built in the first construction phase for the

parish. A split between the traditional parish and the Episcopal Church over a number of issues, including the use of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, resulted in the Church of Our Saviour at Oatlands becoming one of several Loudoun congregations to withdraw from the mother church and form an “Independent Anglican” parish. Under the terms of a 2011 legal settlement with the Diocese of Virginia, the Church of Our Saviour at Oatlands could lease the present church building for five years, but would then have to vacate the property, which would revert to the diocese for its use. The new church property, which was acquired by the congregation that same year, contains the old vineyard and Christmas tree farm as well as a farmhouse used for offices, classrooms and social gatherings for the parish. Basinger and his wife, Donna, live in the rectory on Oakworth Farm. He retired from the Episcopal Church after more than 40 of service and joined the newly independent parish several years ago. Basinger is in Alaska, participating in the funeral of a close friend, but the Reverend Elijah White, who served the church for 35 years, said the new building should be completed in time for the required March 2016 departure. The new church is designed to accommodate an expanding congregation. It was also influenced by a reported decision by the diocese not to sell the original church to “anyone who would allow us to worship there,” White said this week. The Church of Our Saviour at Oatlands is a traditional Anglican church adhering to biblical Christianity and the liturgy of the 1928 Book of Common Prayer, according to Basinger, who welcomes new worshippers to Sunday services, held at 8 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. For more information, go to www.oursaviouroatlands.org or call the rector at 703-7771035. n

defaulted on the requirements of its lease for 11 acres of the 358-acre mixed-use development. That land, at the corner of Rt. 7 and Loudoun County Parkway, was the site of a celebratory groundbreaking for a minor-league baseball and soccer stadium in June 2013, but little work followed. In addition to seeking a court order terminating the lease agreement, the lawsuit seeks $500,000 in damages. The lawsuit states the developers spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to complete last year’s fast-track rezoning that was designed to win Board of Supervisors’ approval for the stadium. VIP’s response to that lawsuit, filed Oct. 10, includes a countersuit charging that that One Loudoun denied the sports investment group possession of the stadium property, made unreasonable demands as part of lease negotiations and interfered with the partnership’s financing plan. The countersuit seeks to collect more than $30 million in damages attributed to the alleged breach of contract as well as attorney’s fees and litigation costs. n

oudoun County Circuit Court Judge Stephen Sincavage ruled Friday that a $30 million counterclaim filed by the investment group hoping to build a minor-league sports stadium in Ashburn may proceed against One Loudoun. The claim was filed in October as part of a response to One Loudoun’s lawsuit, filed in August, seeking to have the court declare its lease with Virginia Investment Partnership terminated July 25 because of a failure to perform. In court Nov. 7, attorney Anand V. Ramana, representing One Loudoun, argued there was no justification for VIP’s damage claim. “There is no way that a breach of the lease would result in an expectancy of $30 million,” he said, describing the claim as not credible. Sarah Reimers McIntee, representing VIP, said the countersuit should proceed, as its claims would be part of the defense case as the issue moves to trial. Whether the case does go to trial and when will be the subject of the parties’ next court appearances. The attorneys are scheduled to argue over proposed trial dates during a Nov. 17 hearing. One Loudoun is hoping for a trial next July, while VIP is looking at next October. Also on the docket is a Dec. 5 hearing on a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. In August, One Loudoun Holdings LLC filed a civil lawsuit seeking a declaratory judgment that Virginia Investment Partnership

ence Center in Lansdowne. Those gathered for the event last Wednesday morning pointed their phones to the sky to snap photos and videos. “Bye, Mr. bald eagle,” a little boy yelled after him. The eagle was found injured on a road near Lovettsville Sept. 11. A woman spotted him sitting on the ground, unable to fly and being circled by vultures. She called Loudoun County Department Animal Services and an animal control officer rushed to the scene to scoop him up. “Which is no easy feat,” Burwell said, commending Officer Krista Shires who found her. “These birds are mean and dangerous.” The battered eagle arrived at the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center shortly thereafter. Burwell is not sure how he was injured—most likely struck by a car—but she said he endured head and chest trauma. The center’s staff treated the eagle and gave him time to heal before putting him through three weeks of exercises, a birdie rehabilitation of sorts, in the center’s flight cage to build his strength. “He was really starting to not like captivity,” Burwell said after she released the bird. “He really wanted to go, so it felt good to give him his freedom back.” The Blue Ridge Wildlife Center released two bald eagles in Lansdowne about a year ago. The birds were injured when their talons became locked while engaged in a territorial battle. The nonprofit center, located in Boyce, cares for more than 2,000 injured animals each year. A capital campaign is underway to build a larger facility that can accommodate the growing number of injured wildlife brought to the center. Find out more at www.blueridgewildlife. org. n

McAuliffe Says Healthy Residents Equal Healthy Economy
(Same shopping center as Dunkin Donuts and Melt)
ov. Terry McAuliffe demonstrated to a roomful of business leaders in Herndon Thursday that he would do just about anything to bring businesses to Virginia. Even eat chicken feet. During a recent visit to China after the country lifted its ban on Virginia chickens, he was welcomed with a large banquet that included, as McAuliffe put it, “a beautiful bowl of chicken feet” for the first course. And for the second course: fried cicadas. “Like any good politician, I smiled and I took a big ol’ bite,” he said. And referring to a lesser sacrifice when he drank until 2 a.m. with representatives from Stone Brewing Co., successfully convincing them to move their operation from San Diego to Richmond, he said, “I’ll eat what I have to, I’ll drink what I have to to get the job done for Virginia.” The governor shared his gastronomic exploits during the third annual InNOVAte Conference, put on by the Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce, Kaiser Permanente and the Virginia Biotechnology Association. The event, held at the Center for Innovative Technology, highlighted the concepts and technologies that are transforming health care. Addressing the event’s theme, “Health Care of the Future … Today,” McAuliffe’s comments focused on the relationship between health care and diversifying industry in Virginia. The quality of health care absolutely impacts a state’s economic health, he stressed. Since he was first on the campaign trail 18 months ago, McAuliffe has advocated expanding Medicaid to extend health coverage to as many

as 400,000 people. As part of the Affordable Care Act, the federal government will pay 100 percent for three years of the cost for states to expand health coverage to poor residents and 90 percent thereafter. Half of the states have opted to expand coverage, but Republican lawmakers have blocked it in Virginia, saying they do not trust the federal government to keep their end of the bargain and that Virginia taxpayers will be left to pay the bill for an even larger Medicaid system. McAuliffe, Virginia Democrats and a few centrist Republicans have said the commonwealth is leaving as much as $2.6 billion a year in federal funds on the table by refusing to grow the program. “Just think of the turbo charge effect that would have on our economy,” the governor said. He said taxpayers are ultimately paying more because hundreds of thousands who would have coverage had the General Assembly approved Medicaid are still going to emergency rooms for care. “That is why almost every single chamber of Continued on Next Page

eading up to Veterans Day, Gov. Terry McAuliffe pledged during a stop in Herndon last week to stamp out homelessness among military veterans within the next year. There are about 7,000 homeless Virginians, and 617 of them are military veterans, McAuliffe said. “By this time next year my goal is to make sure not one veteran will go to bed without a roof over their head.” The governor announced the ambitious goal Thursday during his keynote speech at the third annual InNOVAte Conference, organized by the Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce at the Center for Innovative Technology. An important step to meet that goal is to provide veterans needed training that will give them the skills companies need, McAuliffe said. “Don’t talk to me about degrees, talk to me about skills,” he told a crowd of about 100 business leaders. The men and women who are coming out of the military do not need two- or four-year degrees, he added. They are already educated and motivated, and most of them just need specific training to prepare them for the jobs available in today’s workforce. “Get them the skill set and get them right
into a job,” he said. “We owe it to these veterans to do that.” And the jobs are out there, he stressed. There are 31,000 unfilled jobs in Northern Virginia’s tech industry awaiting qualified employees. Those companies will go elsewhere to find workers before too long, the governor said. “That’s why we’ve got to match the skill sets with the jobs that exist today.” In June, McAuliffe signed onto a national agreement aimed at ending veteran homelessness by the end of 2015. The agreement, known as the Mayor’s Challenge, is an initiative of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. It was initially seen as a means for city leaders to pull together to put in place local strategies to curb homelessness, but the agreement has triggered commitments from the governors of Colorado, Connecticut, Minnesota, Puerto Rico and now Virginia. The Homeless Outcomes Coordinating Council, led by Health and Human Resources Secretary Bill Hazel and Commerce and Trade Secretary Maurice Jones, is helping make the goal to secure housing for veterans part of its overall effort to reduce homelessness in Virginia. They’ve already made some progress. In the last year, homelessness in the commonwealth has declined 7.9 percent, with a 10.8 percent drop in family homelessness and a 14 percent decrease in veteran homelessness. n

commerce in the nation—including the Virginia Chamber of Commerce—has endorsed closing the coverage gap,” he said. “Business folks understand that this is the sensible thing to do.” A few minutes later, the governor was summoned from the stage. He needed to leave the conference early to make it to an art festival in Charlottesville. There would be “a lot of wine,” he

Leesburg’s ArtSquare Closes For Good Margaret Morton

10-month effort by nonprofit ArtSquare to re-group in new space has failed. ArtSquare Board President Lisa Strout sent out a short notice last week saying the organization closed permanently Oct. 28 after a decision taken by the board of directors “with great regret.” The action was prompted by a lawsuit filed against ArtSquare by The Printery Lim-

ited Partnership, the landlord of the nonprofit’s previous location on Cardinal Park Drive, for non-payment of outstanding rent, Strout said. The announcement was a sad end to a 20-year existence for the arts nonprofit—first in a South King Street gallery and then in larger space on Cardinal Park Drive. For years, ArtSquare was a bastion of the county’s artistic life, with gallery showings, studios available for artists to rent and classroom space in which to hold a variety of art courses.
But financial and operational problems, in some measure because of ArtSquare’s inability to earn enough to pay the rent, forced a temporary closure in January after efforts to renegotiate the lease failed. After closing, ArtSquare looked for a more affordable location. Re-opening in June, in The Shops at Dodona just east of The Marshall House in Leesburg and with a reconstituted all-volunteer board of directors, ArtSquare got off to a good start with a focus on summer camps, classes for children and adults, workshops, lectures and programs for teenagers. At the time, Strout said, closing the doors permanently was never an option, because so many supporters and students urged the board to find a way forward. “We knew we couldn’t let them down.” Hopes were high, with big plans for the future, until the lawsuit was filed. Efforts to reach a settlement remained elusive. With limited resources, the board said it had no alternative but to close. “We didn’t think it was ethically right, or fair,” to raise funds with a lawsuit pending since monies wouldn’t necessarily go to programs, but possibly to debt servicing, Strout said. “We had so many great plans that would have required fundraising, and it wouldn’t have been possible to realize those if we had used all our funds in a settlement.” “This was not a light decision—it left the board devastated,” but members saw no viable future, Strout said. n

Pioneering Loudoun Vet Herbert Howard Jr. Dies ne of Loudoun’s best known veterinarians died last week at the age of 94. Dr. Herbert Howard Jr., better known as “Jack,” left a legacy of unparalleled service to animals, their owners and his community. From fellow veterinarians, longtime friends, farmers and horse owners, the tributes were heartfelt for a man many consider an exemplar of a kind of service one rarely sees today. “Jack was a character and a legend. He was definitely an old fashioned veterinarian—they don’t make that type today,” said horseman, race course announcer and former executive director of the Westmoreland Davis Memorial Foundation Will O’Keefe. Trustworthiness, kindness, a relaxed and gentle manner, straightforwardness, indefatigable work ethic, dependability, love of fishing, ability to
think outside the box for the right treatment were all descriptions cited freely by Howard’s many friends this week. The Reverend Elijah White, who will officiate at the celebration of Jack Howard’s life Nov. 22, had known him and his family since he was young. In one of those strange ironies of life, White now lives on what used to be Howard’s father’s farm— the Prospect Hills neighborhood in Leesburg. Howard grew up steeped in veterinary practice. His father, H.H. Howard, also a veterinarian for many years, learned his trade working with the dairy cows and horses owned by Westmoreland Davis at his Morven Park estate north of Leesburg. After graduating from Auburn University, the younger Howard also became a veterinarian. White remembers Jack Howard as “wonderfully expert, very relaxed and straightforward— and soothing with apprehensive owners.” “He could charm the birds out of the trees,” White recalled. Former Loudoun County Agricultural

Extension Agent Bill Harrison, who came to Loudoun in 1964, remembered Howard as the large animal vet everyone went to. “He was one of the old-time veterinarians … and he always wanted to do the best job he could,” Harrison said. That was when there still were large numbers of dairy herds still remaining in the county, but few veterinarians. Now there are more than 140 vets in Loudoun. Eventually Howard would concentrate his business on horses. White and his late wife Anita were both staunch riders. “We used him all the time—everybody did,” White said. Howard had a significant role during World War II, setting up a veterinary hospital in Italy capable of treating more than 5,000 horses and mules captured from the Germans. One assignment was to salvage some burned horses, finding grass to feed them and treating their wounds. German prisoners of war were put to work caring for the animals. Fellow Leesburg Rotarian Phil Daley of Lincoln recalled Howard talking about his experi-

ences with the 5th Army in Italy. “He had a unique feeling for animals,” Daley said, recalling one of Howard’s stories about loading and unloading mules on army trucks. “When he was over there, one mule that he’d trained in the U.S. earlier recognized him and started acting up,” Daley said. Howard was active in the Leesburg Rotary Club, and helped establish the Rotary Resolution New Year’s Race. “He got the club to do more service projects than just collect money,” Daley said. Howard helped find donations to build the first concession stand at Loudoun County High School and the first bleachers. “He always wanted to do more for the kids in school,” Daley noted, calling him “probably the most positive kind of guy I knew—always thinking of others and good things to do.” A number of veterinarians got their start with Howard, among them retired veterinarian Clint Peese, who founded Catoctin Veterinary Practice. Although he only worked for Howard for three years, Peese remembered him as being “so well respected by his peers” and for his contributions to the horse industry. Michael Strickland, owner of Leesburg Veterinary Hospital, met Howard on a Sunday afternoon in 1984 when he went to have a look at his Leesburg office. Typical of Howard, he was working on Sunday. Strickland worked with Howard for a while before eventually buying the small animal portion of the practice, keeping the Leesburg Veterinary Hospital name. “He was available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year—and because of that he was dearly beloved by thousands of clients,” Strickland said this week, recalling the many days he found Howard asleep at his desk. “He lived veterinary medicine,” he said of his former boss. Strickland marveled at Howard’s capacity as a sole practitioner. “Through his own example, he did more for equine practice and practitioners than anyone else could have done, making friends of his clients. Above all else, he was always there, and that’s why so many people feel the way they do about him. He would never, never turn anything down; he’d just go nonstop, if anyone asked him.” Howard was instrumental in establishing the Izaak Walton League on land in Leesburg and played an important role in the establishment of the Marion Scott DuPont Equine Medical Center. Horses were Howard’s true love, and he had a great facility to come up with solutions to problems, Strickland said. “He had an amazing amount of common sense—he was not afraid to do colon surgery in the rain with a beach umbrella held overhead. The horse lived and ended up winning in Upperville.” Dr. Ken Sullins, professor of surgery at the Marion Scott Dupont Medical Equine Center and a founding member of the faculty, said Howard was a great promoter of the center. The two men met when Sullins first came to

interview at the center in 1984. “He had years of veterinary experience and came well entrenched in the community,” Sullins said. Not only was Howard instrumental in finding the financial support for the center, then an empty shell building, but also he got private donors to invest in equipment. “With his familiarity with virtually everybody in the world, he was constantly recruiting and showing how important the center was, and what we were able to accomplish,” Sullins said. The center now gets visitors from around the world, and whenever Sullins himself fills in or visits other facilities, “I’m always happy to come back here—it doesn’t get any better, maybe some as good, but not better.” Their professional cooperation led to a close friendship. As a native of Colorado and strange to the area, Howard took the younger man under his wing, including him in activities. “He tried to teach me what it was like to live here, and we were instantly old friends—that’s rare,” Sullins said. Lifelong friend Bob Lyon remembers Howard as a fellow high school student in Leesburg, an athlete and a sportsman. He had a good friend, Bobby Hopkins, who lived on the west side of Leesburg. “They’d love to go shooting with a .22 rifle. They were good at it—so good, each would take a walnut between their thumb and forefinger and shoot it out,” he said. “That’s not a tall tale but true fact.” Lyon also recalled Howard’s fight to graduate high school with the Class of ’38. Teacher Miss Potterfield had a beau and one day some students thought it would be a good prank to rock the beau’s car while both the teacher and her beau were inside. Needless to say, Miss Potterfield was not amused. Mistakenly thinking Howard to have been part of the group, as graduation for the 13 seniors neared, “Miss Potterfield decided to flunk him on English and prevent him from graduating,” Lyon said. Howard successfully appealed the grade to Principal Charles S. Monroe and graduated. Lyon also noted his ability to find the right treatment for a sick animal, recalling a case where the Washington Zoo had an elephant that was down, and the zoo vet couldn’t get it back on its feet. They called Howard. “He looked at the animal and decided it was low on electrolytes, so he inserted a quart into its bloodstream, and the next thing you know it was back up on its feet and eating hay.” Another longtime friend, Stanley Caulkins, whom Howard recruited to the Rotary Club in 1957, called him “probably the finest horse doctor we had in the county.” Caulkins and his family arrived in Leesburg in 1937, when he was 12 years old. Ironically, Caulkins’ father, who was a Baptist preacher and ran the draft board for Loudoun during World War II, took a house owned by Howard just north of the Safeway grocery store for his family. In 1940, Caulkins recalled, “there were only 1,800 people in Leesburg—and the county was all horses.” Hamilton area resident Sam Welch whose family had a dairy farm on Loudoun Orchard Road, remembered Howard was their longtime veterinarian. He would get calls at all hours, and “he’d always come out.” The family finally changed vets, to Dr. George Washington, who specialized in treating cows, after Howard shifted to equine practice. “I have nothing but respect for Jack Howard,” Welch said. Howard was a close friend of the late Dr. Joe Rogers, who with his wife Donna owned a large horse breeding farm outside Hamilton. “Not only was he our veterinarian, but he was a wonderful man—who took care of our dogs, cats, cattle and horses,” she said, noting in those earlier, nonspecialist days a vet had to take care of all animals. Howard’s knowledge was vast. “People still tell stories of how he cured some horse that was considered incurable, or did something so spectacular—he was amazing,” she said. A celebration of life will be held for Jack Howard Saturday, Nov. 22 at 1 p.m. at the Leesburg Community Church, 835 Lee Ave. SW. n

Parisot, an entrepreneur and former U.S. Air Force captain, said he would concentrate his efforts on improving education, reducing traffic congestion, helping veterans and bolstering the economy. “I’m really focusing on a pro-business, jobcreating economic development program,” he said. “I hope to unlock some potential and grow our economy.” Johnson is a former diplomat and legislative staff member who now runs his own consulting company.

neau (R-Dulles) said after the meeting: “Clearly, there wasn’t support on the board for this discussion. ” Williams noted Friday that he brought up the issue of raises in the finance committee. But he said that he did so only as a way to begin the discussion, not because he was promoting a pay hike. “I’m pleased with where we ended up” on the matter, he said. Also, Williams last month wrote on Facebook that increasing supervisor pay would have somewhat gone against a goal of making county government more efficient. “This Board of Supervisors has worked hard to find efficiencies in the county’s operations and have subsequently lowered the tax burden,” he wrote. “Although the workload for this position has increased into more than a part-time position, I will support keeping the salaries flat over the next six years to continue in helping this effort.” Williams’ reference to the “next six years” acknowledges that the supervisors’ tabling of the raise issue means current pay rates will remain in place until at least 2020. If it had been approved, the raise would have been the board’s first since 2008 and would have made Loudoun’s supervisor compensation second in Virginia, behind only Fairfax County. Currently, it’s the fifth-highest pay in the state—based on current compensation figures in other localities. n

According to Johnson’s campaign website, he favors improving the education system, reducing taxes and regulations, holding government accountable and reforming Medicaid. So far, Kathleen Murphy is the only candidate running in Democrats’ planned “unassembled caucus,” which will be held from noon to 4 p.m. at Great Falls Elementary School, 701 Walker Road. The caucus will be canceled if only one candidate files. Murphy, who announced her candidacy Nov. 10, narrowly lost to Comstock in the general election last year. Murphy co-founded an organization to help military families and works with the Human Services Council, Health Care Task Force for Fairfax County, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and McLean Community Foundation. Murphy vowed to fight for education and transportation funding and to protect local communities and children from gun violence. “I really think we need a strong voice for the issues, priorities and values of this district,” she said. The date of the upcoming special election likely will be set by Speaker of the House of Delegates William Howell (R-Fredericksburg), but that will not happen until Comstock resigns her delegate seat. Jan. 6 has been cited as a likely election date. “I haven’t received the resignation from Barbara yet and I can’t issue a writ before that happens,” Howell said. “I expect it will happen sometime before Christmas.” Gov. Terry McAuliffe would set the election’s date if Comstock resigned when the General Assembly is not in session. Howell could not be any more specific about when the special election would occur. “I’ll have to see what things look like,” he said. Comstock, a lawyer and former aide to retiring Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10th), will be sworn in for her new job in January. Whoever wins the upcoming special election will serve the remaining months of Comstock’s term. The seat will be up for grabs, along with all others in the House of Delegates and state Senate, in the Nov. 3 election next year. n

ne of Loudoun’s popular holiday traditions is on the horizon: the sixth annual Jingle Jam charity concert at Leesburg’s Tally Ho Theatre takes place Saturday, Dec. 13. But don’t wait to get tickets—they generally sell out within hours. The in-person-only ticket sales start Monday, Nov. 17 at 5 a.m. at Ida Lee Recreation Center in Leesburg. And you can bet there will be devoted fans camping out much earlier than that. There will be a seven-ticket limit per person. The Dec. 13 shows take place at 2:30 and 8:30 p.m., along with a 30-minute Junior Jam for younger children at 11:30 a.m. Organizer and participating performer Stilson Greene said the evening show sold out within a half hour last year,
and the matinee sold out by noon. The children’s show typically sells out within a day. Jingle Jam tickets are $20, and Junior Jam tickets are $5. The show features top local talent performing rocking versions of holiday favorites. This year’s lineup includes Todd Wright, Jon Carroll, Gary Smallwood, Michael Sheppard, Mark Williams, Cal Everett, Mary Ann Redmond, Dan Gavin, Prescott Engle and Greene. Proceeds go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, and last year’s event raised more than $10,000 for the charity. Jingle Jam Santa will also be available for photos the day of the show from noon to 1 p.m. on the Town Green. This event is by donation and open to non-ticket holders. n
Helmet Sensors
Rose agreed, but asked Waterhouse to return to give an annual report on the number of concussions at each school and sport. Dee Howard, mother of a Loudoun Valley football player who’s pushed for the use of the sensors since last fall, was commended by Waterhouse for her work and research into various devices on the market. In an interview following the committee meeting, Howard expressed her disappointment and concern that Loudoun schools are not doing all they can to protect student-athletes. “I could have thousands of parents show up to meetings and I still don’t think they’d allow it,” she said. “If we’re willing to pay for it for our kids, I think we should have the right to use these sensors.” Following last week’s meeting, School Board member Bill Fox (Leesburg), who does not sit on the Health, Safety and Transportation Committee, said he plans to research available options and then decide whether to formally request more discussion by the full board. “I tend to think that further open discussion and transparency on this question would be a positive thing.” n

still is not enough “peer review research” on the products. “Ultimately, we do not believe there is sufficient evidence to warrant the use of helmet impact sensors no matter who the manufacturer should be at this time.” School Board members on the Health, Safety and Transportation Committee did not take a vote on the matter, but said they would yield to Waterhouse’s recommendation. All three of the members—School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn), Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) and Debbie Rose (Algonkian), who chairs the committee—said they have only heard requests for the use of impact sensors from Loudoun Valley families. “I just haven’t seen the groundswell of support to move forward in this area and be the guinea pig for these devices when there’s not a lot of facts around it yet,” Hornberger said. He later added, “I hesitate to move forward with something that the experts we have in-house—our athletic trainers—hesitate to move forward with.”

Having a Plan Helps Make Holiday Entertaining Easy, Fun (BPT) – The holidays are just around the corner, which means family and friends will soon get together at your home to celebrate. Whether you’re hosting large or intimate gatherings, having a game plan in place well in advance of your event is essential. With a few simple steps, you can jump-start holiday entertaining – and increase your own enjoyment at the event. c Theme It: Whether you’re hosting your gettogether in November, December or into the new year, there’s simplicity in creating a theme and sticking to it. For inspiration, check out your favorite holiday films or books; or peruse home and garden magazines or online outlets for creative entertaining ideas. Once you have a theme chosen, the rest
of the details will quickly begin to fall into place. The theme can involve the types of food and drink served, the colors and types of decorations you decide to use, or even your guests’ attire. c Plan It: Send out invitations well before the get-together. Invites can be extended through the mail in a creative way, like a holiday card or a small gift box or cookie tin that guests can bring to the party to take home edible favors. To save time and money, manage party invitations online. These sites can help you keep track of guest lists, send reminders and even generate post-event thank-you notes, ensuring you remain on-task, with minimal effort. Two weeks prior to your party date, take some time to prepare the menu. This will ensure ample time to pick up all the needed grocery items, find any specialty items and avoid last minute runs to the store. Search for recipes with common ingredients and varying preparation times, so you can space out your cooking and baking in the days leading up to your event. Begin setting tables and decorating several days prior to your party. c Stage It: Consider whether your gathering will be a sit-down meal or more of a standingroom affair. If you’re only serving drinks and hors d’oeuvres, consider clearing out areas for guests to converse. To keep guests mingling from room to room, strategically space out the food and beverages throughout the areas. If you are serving a full-
course meal, be sure you have ample seating for everyone. Think creatively about places for your guests to sit. End tables can be covered with decorative tablecloths and placed in front of a sofa for additional, comfortable settings. Saw horses, a wood board, and a tablecloth can make a quick and easy table in a pinch. c Create It: Between baking holiday cookies and preparing decadent meals, you’ll likely find yourself quite busy in the kitchen. Save some of your precious time and energy with a kitchen appliance that does most of the work, helping you to quickly and easily create your holiday menu and spend more time with guests. n

Lovettsville native, the book has been acquired by her great-grandson, William A. George Jr., who was on hand Saturday to formally donate the book to the Lovettsville Historical Society for display at the museum. Autograph books, eventually replaced by today’s school yearbooks, were popular at the time with young people, particularly girls, who rushed to get their friends’ signatures and sentimental messages, poems or sayings written in their books. Onlookers crowded around George as he read some of the entries, strainLeesburg Today/Margaret Morton ing to decipher the faint, often spidery writing. They marveled at the William A. George and his great-grandmother’s album. eloquence and poetic flavor of the entries, so typical of mid-19th century Margaret Morton residents whose output was through only the mmorton@leesburgtoday.com spoken or written word. One entry read: “Miss Kate, do you not Lovettsville autograph book from pity me while standing in the deep snow at the the Civil War era came home from lonely hour of midnight, protecting SouthernSacramento, CA, Saturday, and ers’ rights?” about 15 people at the Lovettsville Others covered family news, poems, Museum welcomed its return with prayers and personal sentiments of friendship, enthusiasm. written in the often flowery language common Identified as belonging to Kate Souder, a to that period.

museum. It was Carty who passed the word about the book to the historical society, having contacted the seller—who told her it was in a box she had picked up at an auction and hadn’t really looked to see what was in it. Spannaus in turn got in touch with George, who was thrilled and immediately set about purchasing the album through Carty, who was present to see the result of her efforts Saturday. George, who lives in Alexandria, was raised in Lovettsville and while he lived in the area he served on the board of the historical society for a number of years and on the council at New Jerusalem Lutheran Church, where he still attends services each Sunday. Saturday, he and resident Betty Frain were exchanging details of joint ancestors they have in the Lovettsville area. “The only surprise is that it turned up,” George said of the book Saturday. How the album got to Sacramento remains a mystery. The occasion also was significant for twoyear Lovettsville residents Dan and Mary Ann Winner. They live with their three children at Brookdale, the home Kate and Mark Rodeffer shared. Dan Winner could hardly contain his enthusiasm at meeting George and delving into the treasure trove of information he found about his house and its former inhabitants. n

Written to “Katie darling,” one asked, “My happiness I only ask forget me not, thy friend.” Another to “Sister Kate” wrote: “Fate lies on brittle glass and clear a diamond pin may trace with art, but what the feeblest hand writes here is graven on the owner’s heart.” Mary Catherine “Kate” Souder (18441915) was married to Mark M.G. Rodeffer July 1866 at her parents’ house by the minister of the Reformed Church. Rodeffer was a Confederate soldier from the Valley, who came to Lovettsville after the war. Historical Society Secretary Ed Spannaus said Rodeffer may have been Confederate in his sympathies, but he was very helpful to Union veterans of the town when they were applying for pensions after the war ended. Both Rodeffers were staunch members of the New Jerusalem Lutheran Church—which will mark its 250th anniversary next year. The book was autographed by about 30 people, with one signature as late as 1896. The story of its homecoming is an interesting one. The autograph book first came to anyone’s attention in Loudoun when resident Melanie Carty got an eBay alert about the book, which was being sold by a collector of memorabilia in California. Carty loves history and makes reproductions of old post cards and illustrations for the

t 26 years old, Jennifer Marshall was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In the nine years that followed, she was hospitalized four times, prescribed a medley of medication and underwent therapy with a psychiatrist. But she found that sharing her story—publically— became just as important in her recovery. She started a blog in 2011, first writing anonymously about what it was like to live with a mental health disorder. “Through the course of writing, I found there were people sharing their story more openly than I was,” she said. “I really just wanted to take off the mask and not be ashamed of it anymore.” So about two years ago she started writing blog posts with her name attached. Now, the Ashburn mother of two wants to give others who struggle with mental illness that same support and an opportunity take off their masks. “There’s power in sharing your story, so I thought how great would it be to empower other people to share their stories Julie McCarter/Shoot Photo Inc. in a creative way,” she said.

he Loudoun County School Board will consider changing its policy to allow an orthodontist to see patients at public schools via a mobile clinic. Board members indicated at their Oct. 28 meeting that they are interested in at least looking into the matter, after school division counsel Stephen DeVita informed them that they can, legally, allow an outside company to offer services on school property. Earlier this year, Lansdowne orthodontist Dr. Kelly Morgan got approval from the principals of three Ashburn middle schools, the director of middle school education and the school
system’s Risk Management Office to park her RV retrofitted as a mobile orthodontist clinic in the school parking lot. She’d like to see her 80-plus patients who attend Belmont Ridge, Trailside and Harper Park middle school for 15 minutes each during study hall to cut back on the amount of time they miss school to have their braces adjusted. But in May, school system administrators stepped in to say the School Board would need to approve a policy change before her mobile clinic could roll onto campus. Current policy states that “no school facility will be used for commercial or personal gain.” But DeVita told members of the School Board’s Facilities and Finance Committee that the board could allow companies to provide spe-
cific professional services as long as the policy is broad enough to accommodate all providers of that service. As Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run), chairman of the committee, put it, “We can’t discriminate against providers. If we say orthodontists can come, then all orthodontists can come.” Board members have expressed reservations about the idea, but some of their concerns were alleviated during the Oct. 28 committee meeting. Addressing concerns about who would be responsible for the children’s safety while they are checked out of school for treatment, Morgan said parents would sign out their children, walk them over to the clinic and then walk them back to the school office to sign them back in.
Tom Reed (At Large) spoke in support of that idea, noting that child care providers and martial arts gyms frequently pick students up from school with parents’ permission. “It works fine,” he said. Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) said she has some concerns about giving the OK for a service to be offered to some students at a middle school but not everyone, in a school system that works to provide equal access to all. “I’m concerned that it’s elitist because not everyone can afford orthodontists,” she said. Morgan responded that her practice accepts Medicaid and also has a program in which students in need are treated for free. The School Board is expected to take up the policy change at its Dec. 9 meeting. n

back to school, and that spiraled into a deep depression,” Ames said. “I felt so alone and isolated trying to find help for him. Then I started talking about it and found that when you start sharing your story it helps and you find you’re not alone.” Part of This Is My Brave’s concept is to have teens talking with teens. Of the eight cast members in the Oct. 26 performance, two were high school students, including Park View student Katie Cline. Cline is open about her struggle with depression, anxiety and cutting, and says that openness has empowered her, and freed her in a lot of ways. “The strength I was able to gain from sharing my stories with others is incomparable to any other,” she said. “I hope the stories the cast and I have shared can convey to people, as cliché as it seems, that they are not alone and that their diagnosis is not a terminal one.” Marshall and Ames encourage everyone to share their stories via the This Is My Brave blog at http://thisismybrave.com.

or the second straight year, the majority of Loudoun County’s 13 varsity football teams have earned berths in the Virginia High School League playoffs. Last fall, nine of the 13 teams advanced to the postseason, but with third-year program John Champe gaining its first playoff berth, 10 of the 13 move on this season. Rock Ridge, the newest Loudoun high school, is ineligible because it’s playing a junior varsity schedule this season. Changes in the group classifications last year—going from three to six classifications, with all seeds determined by power-point rankings—has given more teams the opportunity to compete. All of the Loudoun schools compete in either Group 5A, 4A or 3A. The top 16 teams in each of the 12 statewide regions advanced into the five-round postseason, which begins this weekend. Higher seeds will host games through the first four rounds. A Loudoun school will be seeking a state championship for the seventh time in eight years when the various finals are played Dec.

Friday, Nov. 7 Tuscarora 41, Briar Woods 0 Broad Run 63, Freedom 0 Stone Bridge 53, Thomas Jefferson 8 Potomac Falls 27, Dominion 0 Woodgrove 49, Loudoun Valley 7 Heritage 35, Loudoun County 32 John Champe 43, Park View 7
13. The Group 3A and 4A title games will be played at Liberty University in Lynchburg, while the 5A champion will be determined at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. Stone Bridge started the streak in 2007 by winning the Group AAA Division 5 title, then Broad Run claimed the Group AA Division 4 crown in both 2008 and 2009. Briar Woods continued the trend by winning three consecutive AA Division 4 titles from 2010-12, but the Falcons could not keep the streak alive as they fell to L.C. Bird in their inaugural Group 5A championship game last December. No Loudoun teams face each other in the first round this year, but several could in the second round if they advance. Below is a look at each of the games that will be played this week by a Loudoun school.
GROUP 5A NORTH REGION No. 1 Tuscarora vs. No. 16 Thomas Edison When: Friday, 7 p.m. at Tuscarora
Tuscarora (10-0) posted its first-ever undefeated regular season and will have homefield advantage at Fortune Field in Leesburg through the first four rounds of the playoffs. The Huskies make their fourth postseason appearance in their five-year history and look to break their three-year trend of winning in the opening round before being eliminated in the second. Tuscarora’s “ground-and-pound” offensive attack is again led by senior Noah Reimers (committed to Harvard), who has rushed for a school-record 2,040 yards and 30 touchdowns. Junior quarterback Daniel Smith has completed 72-of-102 passes for 1,027 yards and 12 touchdowns to complement the Huskies ground game, with senior Jordan Fisher leading the receiving corps with 22 catches for 339 yards and five scores. Senior linebackers Jason Chubbuck and Nick Giuliano lead the Tuscarora defense with 82 and 71 tackles, respectively. Senior Will Larson paces the Huskies with 10 sacks. Thomas Edison (3-7) is located in the Franconia section of Fairfax County.
No. 3 Stone Bridge vs. No. 14 Freedom When: Friday, 7 p.m. at Stone Bridge
Stone Bridge (8-2) makes its 13th straight postseason appearance and looks to continue as one of the elite programs in Northern Virginia. The Bulldogs won eight region championships and reached the Group AAA Division 5 title game five times in eight seasons from 2005-12. Stone Bridge is led by versatile senior wingback Chance Frye, who leads the Bulldogs with 41 receptions for 604 yards and nine touchdowns while ranking second on the team with 564 yards rushing and another seven scores. Senior running back Collin Buckley leads the ground attack with 728 yards and 10 touchdowns, while junior quarterback Joe Thompson has completed 113-of-180 passes for 1,644 yards and 15 touchdowns. On defense, senior linebacker Tanner Karafa (committed to Boston College) leads Stone Bridge with 116 tackles, including 23 for loss, and four sacks. Senior linebacker Owen Pycha also has four sacks, while senior Corey Wells has three interceptions in the secondary. Freedom (3-7)—the school in Woodbridge, not
South Riding—makes its second straight postseason appearance after losing to Broad Run in the first round last fall.
No. 4 Broad Run vs. No. 13 Halifax When: Friday, 6 p.m. at Broad Run
Broad Run (7-3) makes its second straight appearance in the 5A North postseason after winning two games (including its first-ever victory against Stone Bridge) to advance to the region semifinals last fall. The Spartans made five straight trips to the AA Division 4 playoffs from 2007-11, highlighted by the state titles in 2008 and 2009. Broad Run is led on offense by senior quarterback Brady Reitzel, who has completed 110-of-190 passes for 1,713 yards and 19 touchdowns while also pacing the Spartans in rushing with 479 yards and 10 more scores. Reitzel’s leading target when he goes to the air is senior Chuck Davis, who has 43 receptions for 717 yards and seven touchdowns. Junior linebacker Matt Meier leads the Spartan defense with 101 tackles, while senior linebacker Jashawn Banks and junior Brandon Steele each have four sacks. Davis leads the secondary with two interceptions. Halifax (5-5) is located in South Boston, which is in south central Virginia near the North Carolina border.
No. 5 Briar Woods vs. No. 12 Mountain View When: Friday, 7 p.m. at Briar Woods
Briar Woods (7-3) heads into the playoffs on a rare two-game losing streak, but the Falcons have won 19 of their last 20 postseason games. The only loss in that span came in the last playoff game Briar Woods played, falling to L.C. Bird in its inaugural 5A championship appearance last December. Senior quarterback Jake Maffe has completed 105-of-174 passes for 1,477 yards and 18 touchdowns to lead the Falcons, while senior Dillon Blevins leads the ground attack with 522 yards and seven touchdowns. Maffe’s favorite targets are seniors Tristan Carter (30 receptions, 483 yards, seven TDs), Brandon Polk (26 catches, 303 yards, four scores) and junior Mark Birmingham (19 catches, 395 yards, five TDs), but Polk (committed to Penn State) could miss the postseason with a separated shoulder. Defensively, senior Bryan Capozzoli paces the Falcons with 50 tackles and 5.5 sacks, while junior Jacob Rosen has three interceptions. Mountain View (4-6) is located in Stafford County, north of Fredericksburg.
No. 9 Potomac Falls vs. No. 8 Wakefield When: Friday, 7:30 p.m. at Wakefield
Potomac Falls (6-4) makes its second straight postseason appearance and looks for its first postseason victory since defeating James Wood in the AA Region II playoffs in 2008. The Panthers enter the playoffs fresh off wins over Briar Woods (8-7 Oct. 31) and Dominion (27-0 last Friday). Junior quarterback Brady Williams has completed 75-of-158 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns. He’s connected with senior Wanya Allen for 52 of those completions for 842 yards and five scores, while senior R.J. F’Ieki leads the rushing attack with 756 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Junior linebacker Stefan Carter paces the Panther defense with 51 tackles, including seven for loss, while junior linebacker Kyle Hobbs has 47.5 tackles and sophomore defensive back Justin Robles adds 46.5 tackles. Wakefield (7-3)—located in southwest Arlington County, near Bailey’s Crossroads— makes its first postseason appearance since 1986 and the Warriors host a game for the first time ever. Leon Young (1,284 yards, 12 touchdowns) and Kareem Hall (288 yards, nine scores) lead the ground game, while quarterback Riley Wilson (70-of-156 passing for 1,048 yards and nine TDs) leads the air attack.

GROUP 4A NORTH REGION
No. 8 Woodgrove vs. No. 9 Louisa County When: Friday, 7 p.m. at Woodgrove
Woodgrove (7-3) makes its third straight postseason appearance. After losing their firstever playoff game in 2012, the Wolverines defeated Loudoun County and Eastern View last fall to advance to the regional semifinals. Woodgrove’s only losses this season have come to local 5A powers Tuscarora, Broad Run and Briar Woods. Senior quarterback Billy Sheehan has set a school record with 1,710 yards passing as he has completed 115-of-195 passes and tossed 23 touchdowns. Senior Dylan Mellor has caught 17 of those scoring passes as he has set school records with 63 receptions and 1,014 yards. Junior Charlie Clewis leads the ground game with 1,248 yards rushing and 13 touchdowns. Louisa County (7-3) is located in Mineral, northwest of Richmond.
No. 12 Dominion vs. No. 5 Courtland When: Friday, 7 p.m. at Courtland
Dominion (5-5) makes its second straight postseason appearance and third overall. The Titans gained their first-ever playoff victory with a 35-13 win at King George in the first round last season and set a school record with seven wins. Junior quarterback Scotty Forbes has completed 101-of-184 passes for 1,601 yards and 16 touchdowns. Junior running back Derrick Kouame (23 catches, 477 yards) and senior tight end Chad Smith (20 catches, 404 yards) are his top targets with four touchdowns each. Junior Brandon Ruffin leads the ground game with 384 yards rushing and three scores, while on defense linebackers Smith (committed to Clemson) and senior Joey Betts lead the Titans in tackles. Courtland (9-1), located southwest of Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County, won four VHSL state championships in the 1980s— four in Group AA (1982, ’83 and ‘85) and another at the AAA Division 5 level (1987). The Cougars make their 12th straight postseason appearance and their Wing-T rushing offense is led by Victor Greene (1,232 yards, 11 touchdowns), George Cheetham (1,113 yards, Continued on Page 62

abies and young kids are among the hallmarks of Loudoun. The county is known across the region for its large families and a profusion of preschool and school-aged children. But parenthood, especially first-time parenthood, can be isolating (and sometimes a little scary). Parents groups, mostly catering to moms, abound in the county, giving women a chance to connect and share concerns and advice. The mother of all Loudoun mothers’ groups is Inova Loudoun Hospital’s longstanding newborn support group. The group got its start in the early ’80s and continued with the opening of the hospital’s Birthing Inn in 2003. A spin-off group for mothers of infants four to eight months old launched in 1999. The current newborn group is facilitated by Debbie Walls, a registered nurse and Certified Childbirth Educator, while Dana Carmichael facilitates the older infants’ group. The idea, facilitators say, is to let participants take discussions where they want. “It should be moms helping moms,” Carmichael said. “I help keep the conversation going. I introduce people to people. I try to keep it kind of informal. I don’t want it to be a lecture or anything like that, just a discussion where they’ll start asking questions or talking amongst themselves.” “We’ll see leadership start to form, and that’s what’s different about our group,” Walls added, noting that many hospital-based groups are run by nurses, while she and Carmichael want parents to ask and answer questions and take the lead in directing the group, providing mentorship to each other. On a recent Thursday morning in a community room at the hospital’s Cornwall Campus, where both groups meet, both facilitators were on hand along with moms and babies ranging in age from 6 weeks to 7

months. First-time mom Rose Jaffe of Leesburg brought her 6-week-old daughter Lucy to the group for the first time the day before, and returned for Thursday’s gathering. Jaffe was already getting some reassurance and answers to questions on breastfeeding, sleep issues and more from Walls and from fellow moms. “Of course it’s a wonderful thing to have a new baby, but there’s a lot of stuff people leave out of the manual,” Jaffe said. “It’s nice to come to a group where you can reaffirm stuff that’s happening.” For new moms at home with an infant, the groups are not only a chance to connect, but also an important chance to get out of the house. “I needed to know that I wasn’t the only one going through what I’m going through,” said first-time parent Cynthia Lewis of Ashburn, who attended the support group with
3-month-old Oliver. “I needed to find outlets of not just being at home. The act of getting ready to go somewhere feels so good.” While most of the participants are firsttime parents, mothers regularly return for their second child and beyond, facilitators said. For safety reasons, siblings are not allowed to attend the meetings. But for moms who have older children in school or who are able to leave siblings with a family member or friend, the meetings are a good chance to spend one-onone time with their infants and fellow parents. “It was such a good experience that we came back,” said Erica Dimario of Sterling, who attended last week’s meeting with 3-month-old son A.J. while her 2-year-old daughter was at preschool. “It’s a judgment-free zone where you feel free to talk about your feelings and what’s going on, and that’s nice.” Dimario added that the connections she

made through Inova’s newborn support group when her daughter was an infant have blossomed into ongoing friendships. Her group gets the preschoolers together for weekly music classes at one of the members’ homes and also has a moms-only book club. That kind of long-term connection is common, Walls said, and often extends well beyond early childhood: parents of elementary age and even middle school children often keep in touch with friends made in those early years. The Thursday older infant groups tend to be smaller, Carmichael said, as mothers peel off to go back to work and move on to other baby-focused activities and playgroups. But for many parents, the Inova group still is valuable as babies move through different developmental stages. Facilitators said there is often overlap between the two groups—participants may Continued on Page 46

Support Groups Continued from Page 40
continue to attend the newborn group, where they may assume the role of advice givers to brand new members while also moving up to the older group to get support from parents of older babies. Moms aren’t kicked out of the program when babies reach the 8-month mark, but Carmichael says participants tend to phase themselves out as babies become more active and mobile, and reach the age where more activities are offered. One important aspect of the group is that delivery at Inova Loudoun is not a requirement for participation. The group is open to all area moms. Rebecca Stannard of Ashburn delivered her 3-month-old son Gage in Arlington, but found the Inova group through a newspaper listing. “I was specifically looking for something for new moms, and it really does help,” Stannard said. “I look forward to it every Wednesday. I’ve told my friends who are expecting to definitely come to this.” Members of the Wednesday newborn group can regularly be found eating lunch in the Leesburg Wegmans’ dining area following the group for even more relaxed conversation following the facilitated meeting. “I remember talking to someone who had a toddler at the time and she was saying she felt isolated. She didn’t know about this group,” Carmichael said. “It can be isolating and that’s why this is such a great thing.” Overcoming that sense of isolation brought LeAnn Gunther of Ashburn to the Mothers of Preschoolers program at Crossroads UMC in Ashburn. “I’m not from this area so it’s been a great support system in place of family,” said Gunther,

For parents of children with special needs, the sense of isolation can be even greater, as caregivers deal with issues beyond what other parents are experiencing. Leesburg’s Paxton Campus, which offers a range of programs for special needs children and their families, has several support groups for parents of children with disabilities. “Parents understand the way no one else does because we all share the same types of issues. Almost always, someone or several people bring things that they’re struggling with and we try to talk through it with them,” said Paxton’s Executive Director Jennifer Lassiter, the parent of a daughter with autism. “We all know what it’s like to not be able to find a doctor that can treat our child or not be able to do family functions the way that other people do or go places or have people stare.” Paxton offers a monthly evening support group and a weekly Interfaith Spirituality Support Group on Wednesday mornings. Lassiter facilitates the non-denominational group and brings in “spiritual companions,” local clergy and lay people who help participants address concerns and offer coping strategies. As with other parent support groups, participants often make connections with people experiencing similar issues and use the group as a springboard into other connections and activities, Lassiter said. “Parents meet each other in these kinds of groups, and then they start other initiatives like a buddy program in their elementary school or allergy support group. Or parents are able to connect to the extent that they become friends and become mentor and respite for each other. That wouldn’t happen if they didn’t have this forum to meet to begin with.” n

whose children are 3 and 10-months old. Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), an international Christian-based moms organization, has branches in Ashburn and Purcellville. One of the ideas behind the program is to give mothers a break from their young children and allow them to spend time together and focus on fellowship and spirituality. Child care is provided (either by paid caregivers or by membership rotation depending on the chapter) and the 55-member Ashburn club meets twice monthly at Crossroads. The club is for mothers of children from newborn to kindergarten. The group welcomes members of all faiths, but does have a Christian orientation. Meetings begin with a hot meal (members take turns cooking for the rest of the group), followed by prayer, a Bible devotion and a related craft or activity. “It’s about finding camaraderie with people who are exactly where you are in life,” Gunther said. “Everyone’s very inviting and accepting, even if you’re in sweatpants with spit-up on your shirt.” Breastfeeding is one of the topics about which new mothers most frequently have questions or concerns, and the Ashburn chapter of the international breastfeeding support group La Leche League draws women from across Loudoun and beyond. Mothers can get advice from trained group leaders and socialize with other breastfeeding moms. The group holds monthly topic-specific meetings at Ashburn Library and a more informal weekly café at Panera near Home Depot in Ashburn. “It’s mothers supporting other breastfeeding mothers,” said Jessica Sypolt of Round Hill, a group leader. “We can troubleshoot or if a problem is more serious she may need to see a lactation consultant or her doctor.”

ow that voters have cleared the way to begin work on the bricks and mortar of the Academies of Loudoun, it is up to county leaders to develop the most important elements of the project—the community partnerships that will provide the greatest return on that significant investment. School and county planners have done a good job engaging businesses in the early planning and the public outreach phases of the project. It is critical that Loudoun’s employers and industry leaders continue to have a seat at the table as the initiative moves forward. Yes, it is important for these end users to have input on the skills development that will be offered at the new campus, but a greater—if less conventional—need is for businesses in the region to make concrete contributions to the academies’ success. The private sector should be called upon to offer talent to aid, even lead, the instruction; equipment to bolster the classroom experience; and funding to help underwrite the cost of this extraordinary undertaking. That type of involvement is not easily accomplished under today’s operational structure and the establishment of new avenues for cooperation will help provide solid, longterm footing for the project. The Loudoun Education Foundation may be the best organization to lead the effort. It has a long history of securing extra resources for the county’s classrooms and teachers through its connections with business and community leaders. It also may be wise to establish a similar entity that would focus solely on the academies campus—not just the public schools facilities, but also ancillary offerings such as a college satellite, a STEM library or other asset that would improve the student experience. Under this approach, the mission would be not just to solicit support from local interests, but also to draw contributions from national resources. Voters took a leap of faith last week in hopes of giving the next generation of Loudoun students access to educational opportunities not available in most communities. That action should not be looked upon as a blank check, particularly at a time when additional funding is needed just to meet the needs of traditional K-12 operations.
LETTERS to the editor Honored

Online POLL
Dear Editor: am greatly honored to be the newest member of the Leesburg Town Council. I wish to extend my thanks to the people of Leesburg for placing their trust in me. I will do my very best to live up to the principles I campaigned on, as they mean a great deal to me: more transparency, less partisanship, an advocacy for small businesses, property rights and fiscal responsibility. I would especially like to thank the countless volunteers and helpers who made this goal of mine a reality. I was very proud to be associated with such an effective team. In addition to many adults, I had many youth step up to help. I am confident that these youth are tomorrow’s leaders, and that we will be in very good hands. Although I am excited to begin my term as a town councilwoman,

LeesburgToday
Next Week’s Question: Following the mid-term elections, what’s your view of Congress?
I’d like to take the opportunity to express my regret that I will not have the opportunity to work with a proven leader and gentleman, Kevin Wright. Mr. Wright came to see me, in person, on election night, to congratulate me. I was impressed with his grace and genuine warmth as he offered advice and assistance to ensure that the transition is a smooth one. He is truly a class act, and I know I have very big shoes to fill. Lastly, I would like to extend my congratulations to Mayor Kristen Umstattd, Kelly Burk and Marty Martinez. It will be an honor to serve with them and the other members of the Town Council as we work together to ensure that Leesburg continues to be one of the best places to live in the country. Suzanne D.

“ Why on ear th would LCPS par ticipate in a free pilot program when they can wait for this type of device to become mandator y and pay for it? The t axpayers of Loudoun have plenty of money, right?

OPINION O pi nio n
Dear Editor: I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the Leesburg voters who supported my election efforts Nov. 4. I started knocking on doors in April and did not stop until November. As in the past, when I walk in each neighborhood, I was reminded of how unique and diverse Leesburg is. Our town is not a cookie cutter development but a town that combines the new and the old, the big and the small, the crooked and the straight and a whole lot of wonderful, interesting, concerned residents that share my love of Leesburg. Many people patted me on the back for doing a good job on the council, others disagreed with one position or another, but no one was rude or obnoxious in any way. Every person I spoke with addressed me respectfully and politely, and I thank them for that. Many of the people came out to the polls and voted for me, and I am very grateful for that. I want to thank all the people who volunteered to work on my campaign. It is impossible to sufficiently thank everyone for all of their hard work and their belief that I was worth all the effort. I want to thank my family and friends for encouraging me, helping me and loving me despite my desire to campaign for re-election. So let me close by telling you that I am extremely grateful to have the honor and the privilege to serve the residents of Leesburg for another four years. Kelly Burk, Leesburg Town Council
day Tories amongst us. The original Tories were those American colonists who, like Benedict Arnold, remained loyal subjects of King George III during the American Revolution. They opposed independence from Britain. They did not comprehend why Patriots like Loudoun County’s Francis Lightfoot Lee and John Champe fought so hard for independence. They never understood the brilliance of our Declaration of Independence in 1776 or the miracle that occurred in Philadelphia in 1787 when our Constitution was created. They just wanted to continue to be controlled by The King. The modern-day Tories remain loyal subjects of the federal leviathan. They prefer government control over their lives. They want the government to force them to buy health insurance, to over-regulate their businesses, to reduce their take-home pay by raising their taxes, to tell their kids what to eat in school, to force the Redskins to change their team name, etc. They usually vote for Democrat politicians who nowadays fulfill the role King George III held 200+ years ago. The solution to the problem is to try to reduce the number of modern-day Tories amongst us through increased education and information about the miracle of America. You can be part of the solution by doing such things as asking your Loudoun County school board member to consider beefing up the curriculum for our future voters with more info about the true history of our country’s founding, by informing your friends about the Loudoun County area Ronald Reagan Lecture Series which is designed to educate citizens about the greatness of America and our Constitution, by encouraging students and others to take the free online course titled “The Presidency an d the Constitution” offered by Hillsdale College, etc., etc. Will this solve the problem? Maybe. Maybe not. But, it’s worth a shot if you want to try to restore our American Republic. Mike Panchura, Sterling

— Comments Reader, Briar Woods Football Players Face Criminal Charges In Locker Room Assault
Sports
“This is a tragedy on so many levels. First, the victims, whether or not they chose to f ile charges, are forever changed. The two 17 year-olds, in their youth, arrogance, and lack of self-discipline, have cost themselves and their parents so much. Briar Woods, as a school community, needed to be t aken down a few notches, but cer t ainly not in this way. Specif ically, the football program has been allowed to sweep a lot under the rug in order to maint ain their “st ar” quality. This whole thing should have been dealt with last May.”
