Leesburg OKs Partial Demolitions For New Courthouse

The Loudoun County Courthouse monuments are undergoing their once-a-decade maintenance routine this week, just in time for Memorial Day. Alex Condor, pictured, and other workers from Standard Restoration & Waterproofing scraped off a coat of marble poultice from each of the war memorials before applying a new coat thereafter. For a listing of Memorial Day events, see Page 18.
eesburg’s Board of Architectural Review on Monday night approved permits allowing the Loudoun government to partially demolish four historic district buildings on Edwards Ferry. However, that action may fall short of what is needed to permit the expansion of the county courts complex to move forward. The issue likely heads next to the Town Council. In a motion passed on a 5-1-1 vote, with Mark Malloy opposed and Paul Reimers absent, the BAR allowed the county to tear down parts of the four buildings—additions built in the early 1800s that are deemed non-historic—but required the origi-
nal structures to be preserved in their original footprints. The panel also required the county, represented in the case by Dewberry Architects Inc., to conduct various studies on the buildings to identify any information important to Leesburg’s history. Last week, the county Board of Supervisors reviewed options to save all, parts or some of the buildings, which the architects say must be removed to accommodate the construction of a new General District Court building on the former county jail site east of Church Street. According to a staff report, the option to save all the buildings could add $7.8 million to the $87 million project. Redesigning the project to save the building with the most historic value at 112

supported the Rt. 50 plan. The Kimley-Horn report, however, says that Rt. 50 doesn’t need lanes dedicated to airport traffic, and that even if 6 million square feet of land was developed in the area, generating a work force of 10,000 employees, Loudoun’s planned road system still would function properly. That network, which would be built out by 2040, would include: • widening Rt. 606 to a minimum of six lanes (limited access); • constructing and widening Loudoun County Continued on Page 13

from Dulles Airport. In addition, access to the airport lanes would be provided at the Rt. 50/Rt. 606 interchange and at the Rt. 50 interchanges planned at Northstar Boulevard, Gum Springs Road and Loudoun County Parkway. Another option would instead build a new four-lane limited access highway from Northstar Boulevard north of Rt. 50 following the Broad Run floodplain to the intersection of Arcola Road and Rt. 606. Residents in neighborhoods such as South Riding, Stone Ridge and Kirkpatrick Farms favored that route, while those in Brambleton

t’s not necessary to build a new road to provide access to Dulles Airport from the west, according to a report that was to be presented Wednesday to Loudoun supervisors. The county’s planned road network can handle the development projected for the airport and for the western Dulles area as a whole without a new east-west roadway, says the document prepared by consultant Kimley-Horn.
“Even at the heaviest saturation in the PM peak hour, there are few links that exceed capacity,” it says. The Virginia Department of Transportation in 2013 began assessing the need for a new road that could help move cargo traffic and serve other needs, and last year the agency announced that its preferred route would be in the median of Rt. 50. The idea is that Rt. 50 would have six lanes for general traffic and two lanes where the median is now—one eastbound and one westbound—reserved for vehicles going to and

ark Rohrbaugh laced up his tennis shoes ahead of the Loudoun Lyme 5K/1K/10K Sunday morning determined to run. The 44-year-old from Paeonian Springs was diagnosed with the tick-borne disease almost three years ago and hasn’t missed the event since, always cheering on runners and walkers from the sidelines because he hasn’t felt well enough to take part. But Sunday, he stepped to the starting line to join the mass of runners and walkers decked out in bright green shirts. “I don’t feel great today,” he said quietly before the run started. “But I’m doing it anyway.” Today marked the fifth annual Loudoun Lyme 5K/1K, and more than 1,200 people ran or walked in the event with the goal of spreading awareness of the illness and to raise money for the National Capital Lyme Disease
of the run and reminded them why they were all gathered at Brambleton Town Center on a drizzly weekend morning. “Lyme disease is the leading vectorborne illness in the United States, and Virginia hasn’t been spared,” she said. “And Loudoun County is the most endemic area in the state.” The Loudoun Board of Supervisors, along with other political leaders and public health officials, has been working to raise awareness of the issue in recent years. As part of that effort, the board formed the Lyme Disease Commission four years ago. “It’s done a lot to raise awareness,” Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) said. “But we know that more has to be done to improve treatment and accurate testing.” Last year, there were 193 reported cases of Lyme disease in Loudoun County, up from 165 reported cases in 2013.

Association. People traveled from 13 states, Australia and the Virgin Islands to participate in the 1K, 5K and 10K, which was new to the event this year. Connie Dickey came from Tennessee to run alongside other Lyme survivors and to offer them hope in the midst of their illness. She said when she was diagnosed with Lyme in 2007, she didn’t have the strength to walk to the mailbox. After undergoing years of treatments, including taking antibiotics through what’s known as a PICC (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) line, she now regularly runs long distances. In March, her efforts were rewarded when she qualified for the Boston Marathon. “That’s a miracle right there,” Dickey, 49, said. “Every time I run I wear green and think about my Lyme friends and pray for a cure. After being so sick, I want to use this new ability to the fullest extent possible.” Monte Skall, executive director of the National Capital Lyme Disease Association, greeted participants as they stretched ahead

EXPANDING THE PLAYING FIELD

oudoun County school leaders want to give students in less popular sports a shot at state championships—and more attention from college recruiters—without having to foot a hefty bill to support another varsity sport. A School Board committee is considering a policy tweak to allow the school division to give a club sport the needed nod to compete in the Virginia High School League, but not provide full funding for it. VHSL governs interscholastic activities in Virginia’s public high schools. To compete against other VHSL school teams, a sport must be endorsed by a public school system. “Right now, students are being penalized
because they can’t compete,” Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said. “If we cannot find the funding for another new athletic program, this would still allow a way for those kids to compete.” Board members were prompted to consider changing division policy late last year after a group of parents urged them to add girls field hockey as an official Loudoun County Public Schools sport. Launching a new varsity sport would require an estimated $570,000 in start-up costs. “Looking at the budget, we don’t have the funding to move forward with any additional sports,” Jeff Morse (Dulles), who helped draft the proposed policy change, said. “But this would make it possible for a sport to become part of the community without it being paid for by LCPS.” Under the proposal, student-athletes
would pay a $100 activity fee, just as they do to participate in any other school division sport, and those funds would be given back to the parent organization overseeing the league to cover costs. The school division would cover fees for students who cannot afford them. During the May 12 School Board meeting, member Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) said she would not support the policy because she’s concerned that if a parent association can no longer fund a program, the school division would be stuck with the bill. “Some of our schools are much more at risk of this happening,” she said. Morse described the concept as a steppingstone for leagues to prove that they have the draw to be a varsity sport. A program operating under this new portion of the policy would last only as long as the parent associaContinued on Page 23

Amy the RN did my veins and she was so expert that I consulted her about other procedures. She has injected Botox, and other products. The result is always fabulous – no one has ever asked if I have had anything done – just remark how great my skin looks. Amy is an artist with a needle! She has also advised me on skin care products at my request. People usually guess my age at 10 years younger. My skin looks healthy.

embers of Stone Bridge High School’s baseball community gathered at their field the evening of May 14 to dedicate the press box in memory of late coach James “JT” Timbers. Timbers, 40, died in 2010 from complications associated with abdominal cancer after spending 10 years as an assistant baseball coach at the Ashburn school. His wife, Pamela, and son, James, were in attendance at a ceremony last week before the Bulldogs took the field against the Potomac Falls Panthers on senior night.
“He was always there without being overbearing and knew exactly what to say and when to say it,” James Timbers III stated in a dedication program. “He was a student of people which made him a great coach. He could adjust his methods to any player based on the type of player they were and the type of mindset they had. A leader by example; he did not have to yell or throw things to let you know the mistakes that were made and the adjustments that were needed. He could lighten the mood when needed with one line. He was the funniest person I’ve ever known. I never looked at him as a coach, only as dad, yet still, he was the best coach I ever had. In baseball and in life.” Potomac Falls won the game, 4-1. n

Ashburn Toastmasters Celebrate Ten Years Of Taking The Fear Out Of Public Speaking Jan Mercker
P
jmercker@leesburgtoday.com
ublic speaking can be daunting for many of us and a huge source of anxiety when we’re asked to do it in the context of our jobs. Loudoun boasts a number of chapters of the Toastmasters International organization, which works to help people improve their public speaking skills in a supportive environment. The Ashburn Toastmasters Chapter recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with an evening of speeches and fellowship. “Most people join to get over the fear of speaking in front of people,” chapter president Drew Rougier-Chapman said. Meetings follow a traditional format and generally begin with introductions followed
by prepared speeches by two to four members (most speeches are five to seven minutes long, although more advanced speakers often go longer). Following the speech, fellow club members give an oral evaluation of the speech to provide positive feedback and constructive criticism. Speeches are also monitored for grammar and verbal crutches like ums and ahs. A new toastmaster begins his or her involvement in the club with what’s known as an icebreaker speech, a chance to introduce him or herself to the club and discuss his or her reasons for joining the club. The Ashburn club’s membership is very diverse, with members for a ranges of backgrounds and experience levels, Rougier-Chapman said. Continued on Next Page

nance costs of $100,000, he said, instead of about $17,000 for the elevated tank. At least some of the additional construction cost comes from pumps and other infrastructure that would be necessary for the on-the-ground alternative. The elevated tank doesn’t need those because its operation is aided by gravity. Rocca said that if the cost difference were not so high, then Loudoun Water could consider building the lower-sitting water storage unit. However, he said, it would be irresponsible to push forward with such a pricey endeavor, and the wishes of a few shouldn’t trump “many hundreds” more who aren’t upset. Clarke appeared at the May 14 meeting, but she said the next day that she doesn’t believe it was properly advertised so that the public had time to attend. She also objected to the placement of the Red Hill item on the Board of Directors’ agenda. The supervisor said that Loudoun Water’s directors seem to just want the issue “off their plate.” “That’s very obvious,” she said. But Rocca said that the board listened at its meeting to those who are opposed to the Red Hill tank and that it’s simply time to move forward now that the new schools will need the water. He also said that Loudoun Water discussed the matter in accordance with the law. This particular tank has been talked about since November 2013, he said, and the agency has had seven or eight meetings about it just since last fall. “It’s not something that’s come up in the last few weeks,” Rocca said. Loudoun Water doesn’t want to rush the work, he said, but the officials there feel they’ve “done everything we can possibly do.”

oudoun Water’s Board of Directors voted last week to move forward with a controversial water tower to be built on the south side of Red Hill Road and Stone School Lane. The board voted 8-1, with director Charles McKinney opposed, to authorize design of the 189-foot-tall, 1-million-gallon water storage tank that county supervisors approved in November. After the design is complete, bids will go out for construction. The May 14 vote came after Loudoun Water’s board agreed Feb. 12 to defer a decision on the Red Hill tower, and that turn of events had concerned some, especially neighbors near the proposed tower site, many of whom have private wells and don’t use public water. Loudoun Water board Chairman Johnny Rocca said at that time, however, that the deferral didn’t mean that the tower wouldn’t be built as planned but that the postponement would give engineers more time to scrutinize the situation. He said May 15 that the agency felt it had to act now because water will be needed for schools that will be built in the area the tank would serve. Loudoun Supervisor Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge), who represents that part of the county, also has pushed for Loudoun Water to examine whether a tank could be built at ground level instead of being elevated. That way, residents wouldn’t have to see it reaching so high into the sky. But Rocca said that option would cost about $16 million, or some $12 million more than the current plan. It also would incur annual mainte-

CINÉPOLIS PLANS SOUTH LOUDOUN MOVIE THEATER
Loudouners in the Rt. 50 corridor soon may be getting a movie theater close to home, following a Board of Supervisors’ vote last week. Supervisors made amendments to previously approved plans for the Peterson Cos.’ 30-acre Avonlea Town Center development. Located at the southeast quadrant of Rt. 50 and Pinebrook Road, the project will have 122,500 square feet of retail space, a health club, a grocery store, and 40,000 square feet of office space. And the developers announced one of their anchor tenants May 15: Cinépolis. The fastexpanding, upscale chain aims to build its first Virginia movie theater on the site. The 32,000-square-foot cinema is slated to feature reclining leather seats, in-theater waiters, gourmet meals and full bar service. Plans call for 11 screens and nearly 750 seats, and construction is expected to begin later this year.

Loudoun received more than $2.3 million in media exposure last year just through the county’s name being shown on Washington Redskins broadcasts, team representatives said Monday night. Redskins executives announced the statistic in an update on the county-team marketing partnership presented to the Board of Supervisors’ Economic Development Committee. It referred to the value of having a Loudoun logo placed on a backdrop appearing behind those speaking during football television programming. Such backgrounds are a common sight in sports telecasts, usually situated behind coaches and players being asked questions at postgame press conferences. Loudoun supervisors agreed in 2012 to an eight-year marketing deal with the Redskins, and the county expects to reap rewards from the partnership that are worth more than four times the $2 million the locality is spending on it. That is, the locality is looking to receive more than $8 million in total value during the term of the contract. The $2 million county investment is coming from a portion of revenue from the transient occupancy tax paid by customers of hotels, motels and the like. Scott Shepherd, Redskins senior vice president of special events and vice president of sales, marketing and strategic alliances, told supervisors Monday night that Loudoun also received more than 1,000 on-air mentions last year on team-based digital programming. And the county was identified as the home of Redskins Park in more than 240 press releases, he said. The locality also is boosted every time Redskins executive and broadcast personality Larry Michael refers to Ashburn as the “heart of Loudoun County,” on camera, team representatives pointed out Monday. They showed supervisors a video that contained a compilation of Michael saying the key phrase several times, and that showed him saying, “Thank you to Loudoun County, the best place to call home. Hail to the Redskins, and hail to Loudoun County, Virginia.” In addition, Shepherd announced that the NFL squad would hold an open practice at Redskins Park for area residents this year. ’Skins backers can attend “Loudoun County Fan Appreciation Day” on Aug. 23. Supervisor Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) said that such events delight fans, especially considering that some were upset when the team moved its training camp from Ashburn to Richmond. Being able to see players up close is a “big deal” for team aficionados, Williams said. Board Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) praised the overall marketing partnership, and he made a special request, as well: “We’d love to see you move a stadium out here,” he told the team representatives.

Parkway to six lanes; • building Arcola Boulevard to six lanes; • completing Northstar to a width of six lanes; • widening Rt. 50 to six lanes with limited access; and • constructing Westwind Drive to a width of four lanes. Businesses projected to be built near Dulles Airport probably would be in industries such as air cargo, air support, general aviation, or even in sectors such as general office, hotel conference center or retail. VDOT hasn’t moved forward with plans for a western Dulles access road because a state law passed last year changed the process by which transportation projects are prioritized. It seeks to allocate money first to those projects that do the most to relieve congestion. The Loudoun Board of Supervisors also hasn’t officially taken a position on western Dulles access, although Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said Monday night that he agreed with the Kimley-Horn report’s conclusion about the lanes in Rt. 50’s median. “I’ve never thought that made any sense,” he said. Reached Tuesday, county Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said he would make a motion Wednesday to amend the county’s official transportation plan to have Evergreen Mills Road be four lanes between Rt. 606 and Northstar Boulevard. Evergreen Mills is not currently planned to connect with Northstar, York said, but this step would provide another east-west path for traffic. n

in all of Loudoun’s elementary schools, and he would push for the state to purchase the Dulles Greenway. Ramadan has been perhaps the most outspoken critic of rising Greenway tolls, but Bell said that the delegate’s approach of mounting legal challenges to the levies is the wrong one. Virginia could use low-interest bonds to buy the highway and then use toll revenue to pay off the bonds, he said. And with the road owned by the state, tolls could be lowered, Bell said. “To me, this could have a huge positive impact on families in our area,” he said, noting that some clans are affected by both the Greenway and full-day kindergarten issues. Bell, a father of five, has a bachelor’s degree from Regis University in Denver and master’s degrees from The George Washington University and from Western New England University in Springfield, MA. n

ohn Bell, who lost to Del. David I. Ramadan two years ago by fewer than 200 votes, will again be the Democratic nominee in Virginia’s 87th House District. The 52-year-old management consultant and retired U.S. Air Force major claimed the nomination Monday night after no other candidate responded to a call for hopefuls to run in a firehouse primary. He wasn’t the first Democrat to seek the party nod in this election cycle, though. That was Jewan “Jack” Tiwari of South Riding. He announced a run in March but had to drop out following the earthquake last month in Nepal. Tiwari is from the Asian nation, and his in-laws lost their home in the devastation there, Bell said. Also a resident of South Riding, Bell said he was approached last year about running in the 87th District but declined because his wife, Margaret, had been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in her lung. “I was in no position to run,” he said. The tumor was removed in January, though, so Bell agreed to step up when Tiwari had to pull out of the campaign. Add in the fact that Ramadan, a Republican, also decided recently not to seek re-election, and Bell now finds himself as the only man in the race. It’s been a “series of unlikely events” in the district that covers parts of Loudoun and Prince William counties, the Democrat said. Bell said he fully expects the GOP to name a nominee soon. If elected, he said he would try to aid in the effort to get full-day kindergarten classes

here will be many ways to show support for the troops during the Memorial Day weekend in Loudoun. The county’s keynote event will be held Monday at 10 a.m. at the Loudoun County Courthouse in Leesburg. The annual observance will commemorate those who have lost their lives in battle. Retired Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne, a former Marine Corps captain, will be the featured speaker. The ceremony is highlighted by the laying of wreaths at the war memorials. Earlier Monday morning, there will be a different kind of commemoration as One Loudoun in Ashburn hosts the Ringing Hope Race, which will raise funds to support two military support charities. The event features 5K and 10K races and a 1K fun run/walk. This year’s participating charities include Boulder Crest Retreat, supporting military and veteran wellness near Bluemont; and Service Sources’ Warrior Bridge Project, supporting veterans with disabilities. The event also will include music, kids’ art, team challenges, massages at the finish line, moon bounces and face painting. The 5K starts at 8 a.m., the 10K at 8:10 a.m. and the fun run at 9:30 a.m. Registration is available at www. ringinginhope.com. Another special event this year will be the march of 120 athletes from Harper’s Ferry, WV, to Arlington National Cemetery. The “Ruck to Remember” mission seeks to honor veterans lost in war, in training, or through suicide from the effects of war. The march will pass through Loudoun and stop at several locations during the Memorial Day weekend. One stop on Saturday afternoon will be at the Purcellville Public Safety Center, where Chantilly-based Honor Brewing Co. will participate in an event that will include a tribute to a Purcellville resident, Army Spc. Stephan Mace, who was killed in 2009 by Taliban forces in Afghanistan. Gold Star mothers and wives, including Mace’s mother, Vanessa Adelson, will participate. On Sunday, the group will stop at the Ashburn Fire Department around noon, and then participants plan to cross Arlington Memorial Bridge at sunrise Monday en route to an 8 a.m. ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery.

It refers to a genus of old world terrestrial lizards, but to the 14-year-old Loudoun Country Day School student, it means so much more. “It’s the word that I won the regional spelling bee with,” he said in an interview this week. “But my favorite word might change if I do well
at the national competition.” Shiv out-spelled 73 other elementary and middle school students to be crowned the Loudoun County Regional Spelling Bee champion in March.

oudoun school leaders agree that more time in school for kindergartners is a plus. But there’s some disagreement over which students should have first dibs on a limited number of full-day kindergarten seats this fall. The School Board is debating whether to make available as many as 109 seats in the full-day program to general population kindergartners through a lottery system or to save
those spots for any academically atrisk kindergartners who enroll at the last minute. The board made clear that providing a six-hour academic day to more kindergartners is a priority when it made room in next fiscal year’s budget to add 45 new full-day classrooms in school buildings that have space. With the earmarked $2.5 million, about 1,500 kindergarteners will have access to a full-day program beginning in August. The board’s plan is to open those spots first to students who are just learning English and to those
who live below or near the poverty line, and then to allow other kindergartners to enroll for the projected 42 to 109 leftover seats through a lottery system. But the school division’s senior staff is recommending that the board not give those seats away. Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Terry Breeden told board members that she would hesitate to offer those seats in a lottery in case the enrollment estimates for at-risk kindergartners this fall is off. “Kindergarten is tricky to estiContinued on Next Page

oes Madison’s Trust Elementary School have a nice ring to it? How about John F. Ryan Middle School? Those are the names community committees are recommending for the
future Brambleton-area elementary and middle schools now referred to as ES-27 and MS-9. The name Madison’s Trust would commemorate Loudoun County’s place in the War of 1812 in which it served as a temporary refuge for President James Madison and important documents, including the U.S. Constitution. The president lived temporarily at Belmont, and the papers were housed at the Rokeby estate, off
Gleedsville Road south of Leesburg. Loudoun County School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said during the board’s meeting last Tuesday that he was initially confused by the name, but he thanked the committee for the explanation. “I appreciate the fact that there’s an effort to capture that event, which was very significant to Loudoun County, and this was a great way to do it,” he said.
The alternate recommended names for the elementary school are North Star—committee members said the school, like Polaris the North Star, would provide guidance to students—and Oak Hill, referring to President James Monroe’s Aldie home. A committee is proposing that the middle school be named after John F. Ryan, former Continued on Next Page

“He works very hard to do well,” she wrote in an email. “Regardless of how he does at the national bee, I want him to know that all of us at LCDS are extremely proud of him and rooting for him!” Shiv said that he’s “a little nervous” to spell on national TV, but that he regularly reminds himself that, “it’s a good experience and just a friendly competition.” And he’s certainly not going at it alone. His classmates at the private school in Leesburg have told him that they plan to gather around their TVs to watch the competition and cheer him on.

mate,” she said at a meeting last week, noting that many rising kindergartners have not yet registered for next year. “So we provide these numbers with quite a few cautionary notes.” During a half-hour discussion that followed, the majority of board members voiced support for opening the seats to a lottery. Jeff Morse (Dulles) said if a few more kindergartners who could really benefit from a full-day program enroll later, then the board can find money to pay a teacher’s assistant. “I would love to put those seats up in the lottery.” “We may as well use the space for students,” Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) added. Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said that he’d seen this small expansion of full-day kindergarten as a step, or a model, for eventually rolling out an extended-day program countywide. “If we don’t move forward with this now, we won’t know how it works,” he said. Hornberger also noted that a lottery would allow for students of varying academic levels and socioeconomic backgrounds to learn side by side. Vice Chairwoman Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) was the most vocal opponent of a lottery. She urged the board to save the seats for students who need them most. “My concern with having a free-for-all lottery is that we are not going to be using those academic resources for the purposes they were
intended, and that’s for our at-risk population,” she said. Superintendent Eric Williams, who initially proposed that the board set aside $3.5 million to expand full-day kindergarten to as Bee many as 1,875 students, was measured in his Continued from Page 22 comments. before they can even make it to the stage, and Shiv “We have a dilemma.

Six teams representing Loudoun County will compete in the 2015 Odyssey of the Mind World Finals, held May 20-23 at Michigan State University. The teams qualified for the international competition by placing first or second during the Virginia Odyssey of the Mind Competition last month in Lorton. The six teams are composed of students from Freedom, Heritage, Tuscarora and Woodgrove high schools, Eagle Ridge and Harper Park middle schools, and John W. Tolbert and Steuart Weller elementary schools. They will join more than 800 teams from around the world in the competition that emphasizes creativity and teamwork. n
tion could support it, he said. Judy Klock, a mother of a Broad Run High School senior and girls field hockey player Samantha Klock, likes the hybrid concept. “This mechanism really gives groups with different levels of interest a platform on which to springboard and get what they need for their athletes,” she said. She was quick to add, however, that she believes girls field hockey is popular enough in Loudoun County to be a fully funded varsity sport. Loudoun County League, the local high school field hockey club, has 262 girls on its roster this spring. Eighty percent of those players are in the seventh through 10th grades, which Klock said demonstrates that there would be enough interested players to field varsity teams at almost every Loudoun high school by 2016. She said her daughter, a talented midfielder and forward, had to work harder to gain the attention of college recruiters than most other student-athletes because she was playing a club sport. She didn’t have a chance at a varsity letter and had no official record of her stats

on the field, but was still able to earn a spot on Baltimore’s Goucher College field hockey team this fall. “She had to do so much more on her own,” Klock said. “We believe these athletes deserve to have a place at the varsity table, to wear their school colors, and to be recognized for the athletes they truly are. These girls deserve everything all the other Loudoun County athletes get.” If the policy change is adopted—it goes to a vote May 26—it may not take long before athletes in other sports leagues are lining up for the Loudoun school division endorsement. Members of a boys volleyball club, for one, will likely resubmit their request to be endorsed by the school division after the board rejected their petition for varsity status a year ago. Erin Kaplan, boys division director for Loudoun Youth Volleyball, said the policy change would allow the club to grow its numbers enough to one day justify it as a varsity sport. “This is a great bridge,” she said. “It would allow us to move toward varsity status while giving our athletes an opportunity to represent their schools.” n

He served 11 terms in the House and was elected as speaker five times, from 1894 until 1899, and again from 1901 until 1906. The committee’s first alternate choice is Mathias Giordano Middle School, after the Loudoun student who died of bone cancer Dec. 7 at the age of 13. The second alternate recommendation is Potomac Heights Middle School, to recognize the river’s importance to local, state and national history. Mathias’ mother, Roya Giordano, addressed School Board members before the vote and urged them to name the middle school in memory of her son, whom she said never lost his passion for education even as his treatments required him to take classes from home. “He maintained honors classes throughout his battle even though he knew he had no chance to attend high school,” she said. “I’m here tonight to carry on his mission to spread awareness of pediatric cancer.” The elementary school will open in the fall of 2016; the middle school, in the fall of 2017. The board wants to hear from the community ahead of its June 9 vote to adopt names for the two schools. Email the full board at lcsb@ lcps.org. n C

hen business partners Kris Diemar and Jim Foss first landed the space at 1602 Village Market Blvd. in the Village at Leesburg, they didn’t know what type of business they would create. “Barbecue is popular right now, and there’s not a lot of places that do full service food and live entertainment,” Diemar said. “We wanted to create a little bit of energy out on to the village market, and this idea made a lot of sense once we started talking about it.” Smokehouse Live officially goes live Tuesday and its first music performer, C.J. Chenier and the Red Hot Louisiana Band, will take the stage the following day. The two Loudoun County residents have developed a 16,000-square-foot space separated into three main sections: smoke, which includes the marketplace and main dining room fueled by two Ole Hickory smokers that can hold up to 2,500 pounds of meat; the house, a full-service bar area with seating for up to 90 and two huge garage doors that open up to a small patio area; and live, an intimate music entertainment venue with standing room for up to 250. Live also will serve as a semi-private event space for receptions, business meetings and other special events. “Smokehouse Live is the culmination of decades of experience opening and running restaurants around the world, competing on the barbecue circuit, and our shared love of the hos-

At left, The music stage at Smokehouse Live is in the “live” room, and will showcase musicians from various genres, including the old-school country of Dale Watson on July 8.
“The anticipation, excitement and energy is just awesome,” Foss added. Smokehouse Live will open at 3 p.m. weekdays, 11:30 a.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m. Sundays. The smoke marketplace for food will open 4-9 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays, 4-10 p.m.

pitality industry,” Diemar said. “The greatest part about Smokehouse Live is, while it’s a big space with a lot going on under one roof, there’s a little something for everyone to enjoy while you’re here.” Foss and Executive Chef Bryan Yealy will handle the meat-cooking duties and side items, while Yealy’s daughter, Jessica, will serve as pastry chef for a wide array of desserts—including cakes, pies, tarts, whoopie pies, puffs, puddings and ice cream. The meats, which include lean or wet brisket, beef short ribs, pulled pork, spare ribs, buttermilk-brined turkey breast, chicken, and two kinds of sausages, can be bought by weight. So a patron could buy six bones of ribs or a pound of pulled pork. “You can get however little or as much as you want of a certain item,” Foss said. Foss plans on never preparing meat the day before it’s served. He wants all meats to go directly from the smoker to the table in the same day. “There’s going to be a constant flow of fresh barbecue coming out of the pits,” he said. On Sundays, Smokehouse Live will offer a Southern brunch buffet from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The $19.95 buffet will include a scrambled eggs station, biscuit French toast, cheddar biscuits and a poached egg topped with hollandaise sauce, a Thanksgiving casserole with pit-smoked turkey, mashed potatoes and cornbread stuffing. Sunday brunches will feature an alternating schedule of Americana roots, bluegrass, jazz and country artists on stage.
recent Loudoun economic development trip to Asia proved “very successful,” according to County Chairman Scott K. York. York (R-At Large), Economic Development Director Buddy Rizer and Beth Erickson, president and CEO of Visit Loudoun, traveled to the Beijing area of China and the Seoul area of South Korea, and that endeavor has prompted at least two serious inquiries from businesses that could set up shop here. The economic development trip was from April 18 to May 2, and one interested company already has visited the county since then, Rizer said. Another firm has plans for a Loudoun excursion next month. Localities typically don’t identify prospective businesses so as not to harm negotiations, but Rizer did say that the companies connected to the Asia trip are “brand names.” The county delegation conducted 18 business meetings, Rizer said, and York noted, too, that the contingent was able to discuss Loudoun tourism opportunities while in Asia. Overall, Rizer pointed out that Loudoun’s international business program has grown from nothing to the point where county leaders can get meetings with major companies that have “real interest” in locating here. “It’s really, really exciting,” he said.

Edwards Ferry Road—the approach recommended by staff—would cost about $1 million. The BAR’s recommendation was not one of the four options the supervisors were weighing when they reaffirmed their decision to demolish all four buildings. One option included removing three buildings and modifying 112 Edwards Ferry Road to its original footprint, and another would have saved the buildings at 110 and 112 Edwards Ferry Road. Peter Hargreaves, the project design plan-
Some may criticize taking the step of sending a county delegation abroad, but Rizer said that making York, the head of Loudoun’s government, available to meet with businesses means a lot. That face time nurtures a bond that you can’t get communicating over long distances, even with videoconferencing, he and York explained. Put another way, York said, “Skype only does so much.” York, Rizer and Erickson also spoke about the trip during Monday night’s meeting of the board’s Economic Development Committee. Rizer said at that meeting that the county was boosted on the trip by translating its economic development materials into the native language of the hosts. And York and Erickson said that appointments with Air China and with Brand USA proved successful. Air China is based in Beijing’s Shunyi District, and Brand USA, the destination marketing organization for the U.S., has offices in China and in South Korea. Representatives at both Brand USA offices said that it was remarkable for a locality to make such an economic development trip, according to Erickson. Most of the time, it’s state-level departments with whom they meet. “And so that was a tremendous opportunity to have that,” Erickson said. She also told committee members that she looks forward to showcasing Loudoun wines at future events in China and in South Korea. ner, said that each month the courts expansion project is delayed, it costs the taxpayers about $300,000 in inflation costs. BAR member Malloy presented a motion that would have given full approval of the demolition projects for the “greater good” of ensuring the courts system stays in Leesburg. However, other BAR members said that would be going against the panel’s responsibility to enforce historic district regulations. “In 11 years on this board, it’s the most difficult review I’ve had,” BAR member Dieter Meyer said. The Board of Supervisors is expected to

She said there has been encouraging talk in regards to relocating some of the buildings, and she wants to make sure the project “moves forward smoothly.” Leesburg Mayor Kristen Umstattd said the town staff anticipates that the county will file an appeal “within the next few days.” If the appeal is filed in that timeframe,
China Central Television, the nation’s largest broadcaster, covered the event, and supervisors were able to watch video footage from the network at Monday’s meeting. n
Umstattd said a public hearing likely would take place at a June 23 council meeting. She noted that the BAR members took their jobs seriously and “did what they believed they were charged to do.” “I appreciated the BAR’s attempt to reach a compromise by enabling the county to take down the non-historic rear additions to the buildings,” Umstattd said. “However, when the council hears the appeal, my primary goal will be to keep the courts in downtown Leesburg. I believe town staff will ensure that the county’s applications are handled efficiently and fairly, and I expect the council will do the same.” n

How to Choose Your New Dentist
W
ith so many choices, finding the right dentist for you and your family may seem a bit overwhelming at first. Whether you’re new in town, dissatisfied with the current service you’re receiving, or your needs are changing, entrusting the care of a large part of your overall wellness is an important decision, requiring careful consideration. Most people rely on recommendations from family and friends—or other health care providers—in considering options for dental care. Often, people supplement that input with information gathered online. However, the needs and wants of others might not match your own, and it’s hard to tell what a dental practice is really like from a web site. By digging for a little more information—and by asking the right questions— you can make a confident choice that will pay dividends far beyond just the cost of services provided. Establishing a Relationship Like any other healthy relationship, you want to be sure that there’s a good “fit” with your dentist, and their staff, that they’ll take the time to understand your needs and concerns, discuss the options for your care, and put you at ease about your experience. Plan a visit to the office, interview the
staff, and meet the dentist for an initial consultation or evaluation. Is the office conveniently located near your home or office? Does the office environment feel warm and welcoming and is the staff friendly and knowledgeable? How far in advance do you need to schedule a visit? How flexible are they about setting (or rescheduling) appointments? Do they have emergency or after-hours care available?
assuring that your care isn’t compromised? Evaluating Their Experience If a dental office has been in the area for a while, chances are good that they’ve been providing excellent care to generations of satisfied patients. Ask about the longevity of the practice and if they care for the needs of entire families, ranging from pediatric to senior care.
Determining Insurance Coverage With the rising costs of health care in general—and dentistry in particular— finding a dental practice that participates with your health insurance provider is a paramount concern. Will the dentist review treatment options, covered procedures, and costs before work is performed? Does the practice participate with a broad range of insurance provides? Will the staff work with you to file the appropriate insurance paperwork?
Seeking Comprehensive Services Many dentists specialize in a particular area of treatment, such as root canals, tooth extractions, oral surgery, dental braces, and the like. While that can be helpful in certain situations, it’s also important to find a dentist who can provide a wide range of services, including dental crowns, bridges, implants, and dentures— to mention a few—under one roof. Ideally, the dentist would also have an in-house laboratory to prepare prosthetics and other critical dental components.
Optimizing Your Comfort While many dental procedures are fairly straightforward, others may become complex and can involve oral surgery. How does the clinic put patients at ease? Does the office feel rushed or hurried? Will the dentist offer amenities to make your treatment more comfortable, such as sedation dentistry? If complications occur, is the practice equipped to handle them, while
Your First Exam In order to recommend a best course of treatment, an initial conversation with the dentist should include information about your general and oral health history, any diseases or conditions you have, and any medications you are taking. Check to be sure that the dentist will thoroughly examine your teeth, including any restorative work you’ve had done, as well as the condi-
tion of any existing fillings or crowns. Will they thoroughly check your gums and seek further diagnostic information by using xrays (preferably digitally)? Planning for the Future Following your exam, the dentist should discuss a plan for ongoing treatment— from scheduling regular check ups, to making recommendations for enhancing your appearance, to arranging for more extensive dental work. What are the risks involved? Are there alternative procedures? What are the costs versus the benefits? A Trusted Provider The best relationships are built on mutual respect and trust. Selecting a qualified, experienced dental health care professional, who will meet your needs and expectations, will go a long way toward relieving the anxiety of such an important decision. Relying on cost considerations or advertisements alone is not a recipe for sound decision-making. Taking the time to gather as much information as possible, asking probing questions, and making careful observations of the practice will help you make the right choice of a dentist who will best serve your needs. Knowing that your care is in capable hands will offer you peace of mind, as well as enhancing both your oral health and your smile.

to the intestinal lining may also help decrease the chances of your pup developing allergies. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to pick a probiotic supplement with a high count of live viable cells. A dollop of yogurt is not going to give your pup the same benefit as a high count supplement. Essential fatty acids found in the body oil of fish such as Herring, Salmon, Anchovy and Sardine are effective in reducing shedding, promoting healthy brain function and supporting the heart and kidneys. I suggest adding a small amount to the pupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diet daily and slowly increase the amount according to their size as they grow. Omega 3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are an important supplement that is not found in large levels in pet food as they oxidize quickly when exposed to high heat and oxygen. Nutrition is important in all phases of life but even more so during growth and development. Choosing to be proactive in the approach to your pupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health is not difficult. A few extra steps taken now can help insure your puppy grows up strong and healthy. If you come by one of our stores in Ashburn or Leesburg our Pet Experts can help guide you in the right direction.

ost new dog ownerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are realizing that nutrition is just as important as potty and behavioral training. Feeding your puppy a proper diet with a high quality digestible animal protein is the first step. If you are not comfortable or happy with the food your puppy came home with, do not hesitate to switch. Transitioning your pup to a new food especially a high quality one, should only take a couple of days. A few supplements we recommend at DogGone Natural are Probiotics, Colostrum and Omega 3 Fatty Acids. The intestines are responsible for the growth, well-being and repair of all cells in the body. Colostrum is natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect food that supplies the body with a complete combination of vitamins and minerals. It can help to insure the development and health of your pupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system. In many studies on Colostrum, scientists have proven itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effective contribution to the building of lean muscle mass. Probiotics help the body maintain a balance of good and bad bacteria, enhance digestion and help prevent the occasional diarrhea we see in puppies as they explore their world and eat a number of items that may not agree with their system.

Affordable Veterinary Care and Preparedness

ho do you turn to when Fluffy or Fido gets sick? Who can you trust with a diagnosis and treatment when your veterinary center is closed? Accidents and emergencies happen, what are signs and symptoms that say â&#x20AC;&#x153; call a veterinarian now?â&#x20AC;? Fever, lethargy. Restlessness or pacing or heavy panting. Unusual changes in body posture, Limping, hesitancy to climb or jump. Unusual hiding or avoidance of regular routine. Changes in elimination habits, color or consistency. Wretching or vomiting, Bad breath, draining lumps and bumps, coughing or wheezing, Extreme itching or licking, and obvious wounds, swelling, tremors, seizures or any condition which may be life threatening. Get to know your veterinary staff, their hours, and all of the surrounding Veterinary Urgent Care or Emergency centers available for when your veterinarian is not available. Call ahead, visit local emergency or UC centers - so that BEFORE an emergency strikes you know their exact location, hours and policies for new patients and payment information. What speciality services might your pet require? Will you need a specialist? Internist, Neurologist, cardiologist, or Surgeon? Board Certified Veterinary surgeons vary in price, as an example: a knee surgery at one may be 5K while another is $2500.00.
Digital Xray? Mri? Did you know that MRI scan for pets can be provided as low as $850.00? while other centers offer the service for 2-3K? ASK questions and get to know your local providers. Discuss affordable options with your regular veterinarian. Is the condition urgent ,or can you shop around. Have a safety evacuation plan for your pets in case of emergency, include a supply of food and water and appropriate dishes in your emergency kit. Be prepared, plan ahead, and always know what your options are for emergency care. Make a small home/car first aid kit with gauze bandages and simple supplies for trauma. Include a small leash for safety. Write down your pets medications and dosing times, Include pertinent medical information and vaccine records and perhaps store it in you cars glove box or take photos of the information and keep it on your cell phone for fast reference. Microchip numbers should be retained in a safe and convenient spot in case you get separated from your pet. Ask questions and plan ahead with a pet savings account or pet insurance plan to help take the sting out of unplanned costs. Knowing and pre-planning what to do can help your PET family safe in an emergency. Christy Bell, CPC, LVT Blue Ridge Veterinary Associates Blue Ridge Veterinary Blood Bank
Benefits of HVAC Maintenance Plans
SHAWN MITCHELL President, Modern Mechanical
T
here’s nothing worse than having your HVAC system break down in the middle of a hot summer or an absurdly cold winter like the one we’ve just come through. Unfortunately, nothing can prevent HVAC problems entirely. But you can ensure them happen less frequently— and mitigate the cost and severity of the ones that do occur—with an HVAC maintenance plan. If you think about the amount of time you spend in your car vs. the amount of time you spend in your home, the differences are vast. Yet we tend to be more protective of our cars than of our homes. With simple and regular maintenance on your home’s core systems such as HVAC, Plumbing and Air Ducts, you can avoid many issues. Here are the top reasons to invest in a maintenance system for your home. üüHigh Performance Tune-Ups. Recommended by manufacturers and utilities alike, regularly scheduled maintenance on your heating and air conditioning system can reduce breakdowns by as much as 95% and lower utility bills by 30%. A professional HVAC company will perform them for you like clockwork on a regular schedule and if you have a plan with a
company like ours, we do it for FREE. üüParts and Labor Warranty. Many maintenance plans come with a 5-year warranty. Customers should not have to pay for the same repair twice. üüPriority Service. Home maintenance customers are priority customers! Typically, you should jump to the head of the line when you call! Your job will be scheduled ahead of others. This applies to routine and emergency calls. üü100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Most professional HVAC companies promise complete satisfaction – GUARANTEED. üü15% Discount. Customers of home maintenance plans often receive discounts off the bottom line for heating, air conditioning and plumbing services for as long as the relationship remains in effect. üüTransferable. With many companies, the maintenance agreement can either be transferred to your new home or to the buyer of the home you are selling. Your choice! üüNo Emergency Service Fees. If you are in need of emergency service, no matter what time of the day or night you call, you should not have to pay an overtime fee. You will receive the same quality service as always but pay only from the standard pricing. üüMaintenance Plan Cost: Costs are
determined by the type of equipment you have in your home. For homes with both heating and air conditioning systems, we recommend two service calls per year. For homes with a heating system only, one visit per year is advised. The annual fee for a single residential heating & cooling system is only $199.00 with Modern Mechanical. Multiple systems and roof top units have an additional surcharge. Rates vary greatly with other companies. üüRelax, We’ll Call You! Home maintenance customers receive top priority. Your HVAC company should call you and schedule your heating or air conditioning system tune-up so you don’t have to worry about it. üüA Trusted Professional on Your Home Service Team. A skilled HVAC technician is not only trained to take care of your equipment, he is trained to show respect for you and your home. Finding a quality, reputable HVAC technician can be difficult. There are a lot of scams out there, and when you’re in a bind without a working system or burst pipes, thoroughly vetting companies to find one you can trust doesn’t often happen. When you have a maintenance plan, you develop a relationship with the company, so you know you have someone you can
trust, rely on, and handle whatever issues may arise. üüOngoing Safety Inspections. Professional HVAC personnel will assess your home’s plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems to ensure they are in safe operating condition. Many will provide a detailed report of their findings, and will explain any concerns. You will be alerted you to potential emergencies before they become disruptive problems. A typical preventive maintenance plan with a company like Modern Mechanical includes: oo Central Air Conditioning Systems oo Central Heating Systems oo Gas Furnaces oo Heat Pumps oo Electric Furnaces oo Central Indoor Air Quality Systems oo Electronic Filters oo Media Filters oo Humidifiers oo Germicidal Ultra Violet Lights Visual Inspection of: oo Sump Pump oo Water Heater oo Kitchen & Bath Exhaust Fans To learn more about the benefits of an HVAC maintenance plan, contact our team at Modern Mechanical www.modernmec. com or call 571-223-5779.

Time is what we want most, but what we use worst. ~ William Penn A clock pendulum's length dictates how fast or how slow a grandfather clock will keep the proper time. If time is taken to adjust the pendulum properly, a grandfather clock can keep exceptionally good time. Adjusting the speed of a clock is accomplished by moving the pendulum bob (disk) up or down on the Pendulum Rod. The adjustments are made by simply turning the nut below the bob. The key to the adjusting this nut is simple: »» Lower slower »» Higher faster Warning: Eastern Standard Time recommends that you wear gloves before touching the pendulum rod or the pendulum bob as the oil in your fingers will oxidize the brass causing it to tarnish. Be sure to only turn the nut a quarter of a turn and then wait for twenty-four hours to see if the clock is now keeping accurate time. If not, adjust the nut again and wait twenty-four hours. Continue this process until your clock is keeping accurate time. Eastern Standard Time tips on the care of your brass weights, chains, pendulum, and clock movement. 1. Manufacturers apply a clear coat of Lacquers, urethanes, and other clean finishes on brass to protect it. It is im-
perative that this coating is protected by not touching the brass with your bare hands. 2. In addition, keep the brass from being exposed to the elements (direct sunlight, dampness/moisture, pests, or dust). Time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana. ~ Anthony G. Oettinger No matter what precautions are taken or how perfect the environment, all mechanical clocks should be lubricated or re-lubricated periodically in order to maintain a well running grandfather clock. When a grandfather clock is not properly cared for, the clock parts lose lubrication and the metals can turn brittle. Eastern Standard Time recommends for grandfather clocks to be cleaned periodically. Cleaning removes all dust and dirt and any corrosion or rust, and removes all of the old oil. Better three hours to soon than a minute too late. ~ Willianm Shakespeare Grandfather clocks require periodic maintenance to keep them in tip-top working order. In return, you get a beautiful piece of history and functional furniture and with proper care and understanding, your grandfather clock will last for hundreds of years. The only reason for time is so that ‑everything doesn't happen at once. ~ Albert Einstien

How To Choose Awnings
Extend Your Investment Investment Extend Your Your Living Space • Protect Your
A
wnings are cool. Did you know that in addition to dressing up your house, protecting furniture and floors from UV damage, and reducing glare window awnings that keep the sun from hitting the window glass can save up to 48 percent on energy bills? The Professional Awning Manufacturers Association commissioned a study by an independent laboratory for the Washington DC area. The results confirm what our grandparents knew many years ago before air conditioning. Awnings keep you and your home cooler and help the environment by reducing energy needs during the summer. The Skin Cancer Foundation endorses fabric awnings as effective protection against the sun’s harsh rays. Enjoy being outside this summer. It’s always cooler and cozier under an awning. Save your Skin. Awning providers offer custom-made traditional and retractable awnings types that can solve any shading need and perfectly fit your décor and architecture. Consider small traditional window awnings that can be removed for winter to allow the warmth of the sun to work to your benefit or modern retractable window awnings that are easily closed with a crank or remote control. Do you have a large outdoor space to cover or to enclose? Wind and rain sometimes a problem? Consider one of the Swiss
Stobag awning products that have been the most popular for design, functionality and cost in Europe since the 1970s. See our Swiss shading solutions at www.stobag. com. Canvas awning products have come a long way with the introduction of solution dyed acrylic outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella in the U.S., Sattler from Austria, Dickson from France, Para from Italy or Recacril from Spain. It’s now a global market for these high quality fabrics and you can choose from hundreds of colors and patterns with confidence since they all offer eight- to 10-year warranties on their products. New fabric welding and sewing techniques allow us to warrant the seams of awnings for the life of the fabric, so you can buy in confidence knowing the awnings will be long-lasting. (Rob Montgomery, Montgomery Shade & Awning)
We feature the Best Quality products at the Best Prices, and we back it up with professional installation and service! We specialize in: Custom-made awnings, canopies, patio and window coverings. Swiss made “Stobag®” and “Perfecta®” retractable awnings and canopies. New acrylic canvas for old awnings. Sunbrella and other European fabrics.

kitchens or bathrooms. Linoleum Linoleum's popularity is primarily attributed to its appeal as a green flooring choice. The bactericidal properties of natural linoleum stop microorganisms from multiplying, so you often see natural linoleum floors in hospitals. Linoleum is also water-, ding- and scratch-resistant, easy to clean, comfortable underfoot and is available in tiles in a wide range of vibrant colors. Tile Porcelain is a popular choice as is terra cotta and natural stone, such as marble, granite, travertine or slate. When selecting tile on a budget, porcelain is the most costeffective. Vinyl Vinyl is one of the most value-conscious flooring options. It's an especially popular choice for rooms that are prone to moisture problems, such as basements, bathrooms and kitchens. Vinyl is also easy to clean and softer underfoot than tile. One rule to remember when selecting vinyl is the thicker it is, the more traffic it can bear. Concrete Concrete is one of the hottest flooring options today. With the wide range of sealers and specialty stains currently on the market, plain and gray concrete can be stamped and stained to resemble polished marble, tumbled stone, brick pavers or really anything you wish.

Picking new flooring can be daunting task. There are many materials from which to choose and each type has many options to go along with it. These are eight most popular types of flooring materials: Hardwood Hardwood is a traditional favorite because of its durability and natural feel. Oak remains the most popular choice, but other woods like cherry and imported exotic woods such as Brazilian cherry or Tasmanian oak are worth considering. Laminate Laminate flooring is easier to install than solid-wood hardwood floors and is much less expensive. Laminate floors are composed of wood-based materials that are layered together then topped with a wood grain photographic imprint. Bamboo Bamboo is a lightweight woody grass that has the tensile strength of steel, making for a highly durable floor that resists swelling and contraction with changes in humidity. Bamboo flooring is pre-finished and engineered with tongue-and-groove joints, just like standard solid wood flooring. Cork Cork’s honeycomblike cellular structure gives the flooring a cushiony feel underfoot. Cork floors absorb vibrations and sound, and they bounce back if dented. The tiles have a natural, nonslip surface that makes cork ideal for wet areas like

or blocks if you are choosing and ordering your own and arranging for their delivery. Some masons have accounts with nearby brickyards and may get discounts. But many masons provide only the labor necessary to lay the bricks and may require you to order the materials. Step 5: Take a look at some recent examples of the mason’s work, if possible. Ask to see a portfolio of previous projects. . While it’s always a good idea to ask for client references and to call them, it’s even better to see the mason’s work with your own eyes. Look not only at the overall design, but also for quality: Step 6: Execute a contract that specifies the work, cost, payment schedule and the start and anticipated completion date. Make sure the contract includes provisions that guarantee the work. Tips & Warnings »» Know what you want to accomplish before you hire a mason. If possible have a detailed sketch of your project created. »» You should know what kind of materials you want to use. »» Ask prospective candidates how long they have been in business. »» Ask a local contractor to recommend a reputable mason. »» Get an idea of what your project will cost by talking to other homeowners who have similar masonry details. Interviewing can help you weed out the masons that could possibly become problematic. Check up on their credentials before agreeing to work with them.

hile do-it-yourself projects are sometimes the more affordable option when it comes to improving the home, oftentimes people want home additions that are beyond their skills. If someone wants, for example, a stone patio or brick wall added to their outdoor living space, it may be too large of a project to undertake on their own. In this instance, a mason comes in handy. Hiring a mason will ensure that your outdoor addition will look professional. Finding a mason is a work intensive process similar to that of hiring a contractor. You want to be confident that they will produce the end result that you desire. Step 1: Call your local housing authority to find out if masons must have a license in your state or in your community. Not all states require a license, but if yours does, check with the licensing commission to determine if the mason is in good standing and whether he or she has any recent complaints on record Step 2: Make sure the masons you interview have experience with the type of work that you want done. For example, if you want a fieldstone wall constructed, don’t hire a mason who only has experience with installing foundations. Step 3: Ask one or more masonry contractors for bids on your project. A mason typically charges a set fee per brick, stone or block that he or she lays. This fee includes the cost of labor and additional materials, such as mortar and structural wall mesh. Step 4: Figure in the cost of the bricks

O
K, so you are going on vacation or you are working long hours at the office, and you need to decide what to do with the family pet(s). You have three choices.

How to Choose a Jewelry Store N
ot sure how to shop for an engagement ring or that special sparkly anniversary gift? The folks at Jewelrywise. com say there are 10 questions you should ask when trying to find a jewelry store you trust. 1) Does the jeweler listen to you? Respected jewelers should focus on you, listen to you and how you an array of different pieces. You shouldn’t walk away feeling overwhelmed. 2) Is the jeweler established and credentialed? Choose someone with whom you can develop a lasting relationship. Look at how long the jeweler has been in business and research the store’s reputation. 3) Does the jeweler offer an array of services? A respected jeweler will offer an array of services. Look for an in-house gemologist who’s trained in the properties of precious and semi-precious stones and a bench jeweler, who can help repair or resize your jewelry. Some jewelers can also design custom pieces. 4) Does the store offer a wide selection? You’ll want to be sure you have plenty of styles to choose from, along with a little guidance. 5) Is the jeweler knowledgeable? When working with a reputable jeweler, everyone on the staff should be able to answer your questions with confidence and ease, or point you to someone else in-house who can. 6) How does the jeweler handle dia-
mond certification and appraisal? Don’t just take your jeweler’s word for it: Ask for a third-party diamond certificate from a respected independent gem lab. 7) Does the jeweler teach you how to look at diamond and show you the 4Cs first-hand? You may not be trained to see a diamond’s 4Cs, but a good jeweler should guide you through the process. 8) How does the jeweler mark the integrity of the precious metal in the piece? You’ll find most jewelers focus—and rightly so—on the quality of a ring’s diamond. But the metal matters, too. Ask to see a stamp verifying the precious metal content, such as 10K, 14K or 18K for gold or PLT for platinum. A reputable jeweler won’t hesitate to show you. 9) What are the jeweler’s policies around warranties and returns? The basic logistics of any other large purchase also apply to fine jewelry. Can the jeweler provide the piece you want in the timeframe you need? Make sure you understand the jeweler’s warranty and return policy. 10) All in all, can you trust the jeweler? It’s worth saying again. Before plunging into a purchase, you need to ask yourself: Do I trust this jeweler? The sense of trust can come the referral of a friend or family member, reputation in the community, or having done research and asking all the right questions. For more tips, go to www.jewelrywise. com/.

inding a great swim team that is the best fit for your family depends on many factors. You should consider your swimmer's goals, your family's lifestyle and time commitment, your swimmer's time commitment and other activities, team philosophy, the coaching system that your swimmer will be in, convenience, cost, and travel. For 7-8 year olds, it is crucial to find a program that focuses primarily on developing your child’s stroke technique and is fun (For more on the importance of good technique instruction please read "Speed Vs. Technique?" at http://swimkids.us/swimtips). Studies have shown that the number one reason kids quit a sport is because it is not fun. While parents are looking for improvement and a knowledgeable and fair coach, kids are kids and they want to love what they are doing! For ages 9-11, even though many swimmers can swim all the strokes, it is still critical that swimmers focus first on stroke excellence, then on improving endurance while maintaining stroke excellence and then learning how to swim at race pace with stroke excellence. Programs that are heavy on lap swimming without the continued focus on stroke technique will give your swimmer short term gains and limit their future potential. By age 10-12, kids that choose swim-

ming as “their sport" are almost exclusively focused on school and swimming. There are exceptions to every rule, and I have had swimmers that were great yearround swimmers that did not start until they were 12, but for every one of those, I had many others that struggled to catch up and their technique usually suffered because they rushed their skill and technique progression. Experts agree that a well-rounded athlete, that is, one who has balance in their life and participates in a variety of activities, has less chance for burn out once they do commit and focus on one sport. They also agree that should happen about age 10-11 for girls and 11-12 for boys.

What You Should Expect When Working with a Financial Planner aybe you have heard the expression: ‘if you fail to plan, then you’ve planned to fail’? You probably would never think of hiring a homebuilder to build a house without a solid set of approved plans. Yet, when it involves your personal financial plan, something that touches every aspect of your life, chances are that you may not have a plan. If you do not, and you are considering working with a Certified Financial Planning Professional, this article is for you! A financial planner will help you understand what to expect by describing the planning process and highlighting the benefits of having a plan. Below are six high level steps of the financial planning process. 1. Identify Your Personal and Financial Goals Setting goals is the single most important step in the process for two reasons. First, you are setting your future “target.” The plan you develop is only as good as your target. Second, you are establishing the client-advisor relationship with your planner, whose goal in this step is to get a solid understanding of your goals and dreams and help you articulate your target for the future. A good planner will emphasize that these are your goals, and will ask
you questions to help you identify what is most important to you. 2. Make Assumptions about the Future Since your plan develops projections out into the future, the assumptions that are used in the model are critical. You can expect your planner to guide you in making assumptions about things such as anticipated college costs, when you might expect to retire and what inflation levels might be. None of us has a crystal ball, but you should be comfortable with your assumptions -- these will be the foundation of your plan. 3. Determine Where You Currently Are and Your Risk Tolerance This step is often called the “fact finding process”. You and your financial planner will determine where you stand right now. During the fact-finding process, your assets (what you own) and your liabilities (what you owe) are compiled. Important documents are reviewed, such as tax returns, wills, life insurance policies, trusts, pay stubs, investments, and bank accounts. All this information is entered into financial planning software for summarization, analysis and visual presentation purposes. During this step, you should also expect to answer questions designed to assess your “risk tolerance” for investment alternatives.
This will help the planner understand what type of investments would be appropriate for your plan, given your investment horizon and tolerance for risk. 4. Develop a Plan to Achieve Your Goals Once your planner understands your goals, your risk tolerance, and your present situation, the planner uses his or her knowledge of financial concepts, tax laws, the financial markets, and financial strategies to develop a financial plan for you. Once your plan has been completed, your planner will arrange a presentation meeting. This meeting is an important event for you! You should take notes, ask a lot of questions and expect to be given time to “digest” the plan and recommendations. Make sure your planner helps you get a solid understanding of the basis for any recommendations to make adjustments to your current financial situation. 5. Implement Your Plan – Take Action! Once you have taken time to focus on your goals and develop a plan, keep your momentum going! Typically, a comprehensive plan will identify several recommended changes such as: executing a will, starting a college savings plan, setting up a Roth IRA, changing your 401(k) elections, or adjusting your life insurance. A skilled and caring planner will help encourage you
to implement your plan. 6. Monitor the Progress of Your Plan Designing and building your financial future will be an on-going process. Generally, I recommend meeting at least once a year to review any changes in your situation that may warrant revising your plan or actions taken. Benefits You Can Expect You can expect to receive immediate benefits from a comprehensive financial planning process. First, you will have all of your financial information organized and in one place! Your investments will be compared to your “risk tolerance.” You will learn which asset allocation is best for you, what tax strategies will benefit your particular circumstances and whether the type and amount of life insurance coverage you have is appropriate. You will also have a better idea if you will be adequately prepared for future events such as retirement or college costs. I believe that comprehensive financial planning is the single most important step you can take toward achieving your goals and dreams. Scott J. Friberg.

TOWN OF LEESBURG NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Pursuant to Sections 15.2-1427, 15.2-2204, 15.2-2205 and 15.2-2285 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, the Leesburg Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on Thursday, June 4, 2015 at 7:00 p.m., in the Town Council Chambers, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia, 20176 to consider a Town Amendment application TLTA 2014-0001 and a rezoning application TLZM 2013-0006, referred to as Crescent Parke. The Crescent Parke applications are made on behalf of the Applicant Lansdowne Development Group LLC.
The Applicant is requesting approval of a rezoning application, with a concept plan and proffers to rezone approximately 29 acres from the CD-C (Crescent District-Commercial), CD-MUO (Crescent District – Mixed-use Option), and CD-OS (Crescent District-Open Space) to the CD-RH (Crescent District – Residential High Density). Within the CD-C and CD-MUO districts the Applicant proposes 163,625 square feet of nonresidential uses to include: a maximum of 112,500 square feet of office, and a maximum of 141,125 square feet or retail, inclusive of a hotel use subject to a future special exception application, and 96 multifamily dwelling units. Within the CD-RH district the Applicant proposes 209 townhouses and 96 stacked townhouses (two over two). The Applicant is requesting multiple zoning modifications which affect building architecture and site design. Other modifications may be necessary due to potential changes to the concept plan. The Property encompasses 53.3 acres as depicted on the Concept Plan’s Rezoning Plat, and is identified by the following Loudoun County Property Identification Numbers (PIN): 232-37-7166 and 232-37-5627 and 232-38-9290 and 232-28-3893 and 232-37-3721. The Town Plan’s Land Use Policy Map designates the Property as Commercial/Mixed-Use and Open Space. The Town Plan does not include recommended densities for residential or commercial uses in the Crescent Design District. The application proposes a commercial density (floor area ratio) of 0.07, and a residential density of 9.3 dwelling units per acre. Copies and additional information regarding this Rezoning Concept Plan Amendment application are available at the Department of Planning and Zoning located on the second floor of Town Hall, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia, 20176 during normal business hours (Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.) or by contacting Michael Watkins, Senior Planner, via email at mwatkins@leesburgva.gov, or via telephone at 703-737-7920. At these hearings, all persons desiring to express their views concerning these matters will be heard.

PAUL WILLIAM CRUMLISH
CHARLES HENRY CONLEY WIGHT “HARRY,”
Charles Henry Conley Wight "Harry," passed away on May 11, 2015 at INOVA Loudoun Hospital. He was born in St. Louis, MO on July 6, 1932 to the late Daniel Ewing Wight and Helen Abel Conley. He attended Georgetown Prep, Lawrenceville grade school and high school, and Yale class of 1956. After graduating from Yale 1956 (the captain of his cross country running team), Harry became a full LT Navy pilot (running reconnaissance photo missions off of carriers) for 6 years and then entered in country life, a stockbroker manager for 25 years. After his military tour, he moved to North Fork, VA to open and manage the first Alex Brown and Sons branch investment firm in Leesburg, VA. At Brown, his clientele was made up from many from the Hunting field, various land owners, and Washington people who had settled in the area.
Paul William Crumlish, 51, born on July 8, 1963, passed away from cancer this third week of May, 2015. Crumlish grew up in Geneva, NY and lived in Washington DC and Charlottesville before moving to Haymarket, VA in 2001. A project and product manager in the IT field, he consulted with telecommunications firms and brought to market many of the technology products that are staples of everyday life including the first multi access telecommuting platform and the first consumer DSL service with UUNET. He also consulted with AT&T, WorldCom, Verizon, Fannie Mae and Capital One throughout his career. Before embarking in the field of IT, Crumlish was a prolific writer, contributing to numerous automotive and racing magazines, including Racer, SuperFord and Speed Sport News, as well as the Associated Press and United Press International. A staple in the NASCAR circuit as well as IMSA, CART and the US Rally scene, Paul wrote for and worked with many drivers, teams and race tracks in the creation of press and program materials. His motorsport photography and stories have been featured in many publications internationally.

David Michael Osborne, 54, of Philomont, VA, passed away on May 9, 2015, after a twoyear battle with cancer. Born on April 9, 1961, in Oakland, CA, he was the son Diane C. Osborne (nee Diane Cimolino), of Oakland, CA, and Don Osborne, of San Francisco. David grew up in Oakland, CA, and lived there until he moved East in 2005 to be closer to his wife’s family. He attended the Head-Royce School and the University of California-Berkeley (Go Bears!) Much of his career was spent in commercial project management, orchestrating the build-outs of commercial office space and data centers in San Francisco; Raleigh, NC; and Washington, D.C. He most recently was employed by CBRE, Inc., where he was a Director of Project Management and served as a global subject matter expert for the design, construction, and operations of Cisco’s Data Center portfolio. At home, David was an inspired cook, and his love for healthy food and creative cooking was apparent to all who knew him. He passed this love on to his children, as well. David’s biggest and most prized accomplishment was his three children. He was a devoted and loving father who enjoyed watching his elder daughter ride horses, going to baseball games and playing basketball with his son, and playing Barbies with his younger daughter. He read to the children every night before bed. He is survived by his loving wife, Cameron Epling Osborne of Philomont, VA; daughter Catherine Olivia (14); son John Tristan (11); and daughter Jane Claire (7), all of Philomont, VA; his devoted parents; brother Dean Osborne, of Oakland, CA; nieces Kael Osborne, Meila Osborne, and Adley Osborne, all of Oakland, CA; and stepmother Irene Osborne, of San Francisco; and his beloved in-law family, the Eplings, of Philomont, VA; Syracuse, NY; and Asheville, NC. He is predeceased by his brother Doug Osborne, of Oakland, CA. We will be remembering and celebrating David’s life on Thursday, May 28, 5:00 pm 8:00 pm, at Columbian Grove Farm in Philomont, VA.

MARY MAGISTA TORELLI
Mary Magista Torelli, age 89, passed away on Saturday, May 16, 2015. She is predeceased by her husband Alfred, who died in 2009. Mary grew up in Arlington, and moved to Annandale with Al to the house they built in 1960. They spent over 50 years in their home, where they raised their children, and were parishioners at St. Michael’s Catholic Church. In 2008 they moved to the Potomac Green neighborhood in Ashburn and made wonderful new friends. Mary and Al were married for 60 happy years, spending much of that time with their dear family and close friends. They loved to travel, and have family over for birthday and other celebrations. Mary had a career with the Department of the Navy, for many of those years carpooling with Al to and from work. But her real love and legacy was her family. She was the glue that kept the Torelli’s together as often as possible. They loved to entertain with their office-mates, friends and neighbors in their beautiful home. Mary’s other loves were her Italian heritage – they were able to travel to Italy several times in their later years to see relatives and enjoy the country. She also loved butterflies, eagles, cats, John Wayne and her favorite, Frank Sinatra.She is survived by her son Stephen (Denise), her daughter Rita, three grandchildren – Richard, Emily and Timothy, and a multitude of family and good friends.

Finding A Shared Priority
A
year ago the state government’s proposal to build a new highway that would provide cargo carriers with dedicated access to Dulles Airport’s back door sparked an intense community debate that pitted two south Loudoun constituent groups against one
another. The subsequent round of public review resulted in a record level of response from residents supporting or opposing route options for the project, formally known as the Dulles Air Cargo, Passenger and Metro Access Highway. The members of the county’s Board of Supervisors and Loudoun’s state delegation also found themselves divided on the proposal. There seemed little possibility for a compromise to close that division. This week, we learn that—at least in the assessment of one group of consulting engineers commissioned by the county government to review the situation—the highway lanes aren’t needed, and won’t be needed. That should be viewed as good news, not just for county supervisors and their constituents, but also for state leaders who were touting the new road as one urgently needed to prepare for a flood of new commerce. For local leaders, the study’s findings provide additional validation of the county’s long-term transportation plans in the fast-growing Rt. 50 corridor. That follows a similar assessment of Loudoun’s vision for the Ashburn-area road network just last year. The roads on the planning map can handle the future traffic flows; the county lacks only the money needed to build them. On the state level, let’s remember that VDOT’s study of the route options envisioned spending between $240 million and $1 billion on the project. One might say that the transportation department now can put that money it doesn’t have back in its imaginary piggy bank. In reality, however, it means the state won’t have to divert that money from other needed projects. State leaders can stand behind their commitment to improve western access to Dulles Airport by dedicating more funding to implement the plans Loudoun already has on the books. If that were truly the goal in this exercise, the full implementation of the south Loudoun planned transportation network should be viewed as a priority of statewide significance. The result would be a win for area residents, for commuters passing through and for those convoys of trucks expected to head our way soon.
LETTERS to the editor Race Baiting

Dear Editor: n response to your articles about the diversity commission, I have always reserved my concerns toward Town Council’s handling of the issue. I am opposed to the untruthful insults thrown around the council as justification for the commission. Councilwoman Kelly Burk is race baiting by bringing up race as a condition of membership. This commission has no different membership requirements than any other commission. Burk should be ashamed of herself for making race a qualification for membership. It is hypocritical for Burk to want a diversity commission that in itself has a membership that does not represent the diverse makeup of Leesburg. This whole politically motivated process was started by Councilwomen Burk. In true fashion, Burk and her friends on the council

Dear Editor: I’m a parent of a child with autism who has been in the Loudoun schools for seven years. I’m also a former teacher, school administrator, federal and state educational official. Through my consulting practice I know schools throughout the country are overwhelmed by the increasing numbers of children with autism and related neurological disabilities. These children are difficult to educate. Most have considerable language, social, and attention deficits. Because of their inability to communicate and read social cues, they have few if any friends. Many feel awful much of the time since their bodies cannot naturally detoxify. Their pain oftentimes results in tantrums, headbanging, escaping and other misbehaviors. Yet

minorities forever. This is an insult to Leesburg residents of all races. She encores the truth about the rise of our diverse population. Dave Butler said we don’t want to become Ferguson, MO. This insult to Leesburg was thrown out for effect and has no basis of fact. If Leesburg is as bad as these politicians claim, then they are to blame. They have been in leadership positions collectively for 40 years, with the mayor 22 years herself. This council is using this commission to run interference for its bad record on diversity. During the town manager hiring process, this council refused to have diversity words included in the hiring announcement. Worst yet, when the one female applied, this council refused to give her an interview. The current town manager was hired according to council to “continue the legacy” of the previous town manager. It was that legacy of 92 percent white town employees that the Diversity Task Force was asked to look into. Burk insulted Mr. Peters, a volunteer, who submitted his name to the council, not to me. I put his name forward because he served in the past and the diversity commission could benefit from his views. I oppose politicians who claim to be looking out for people’s best interests, and then use them as pawns. Kelly Burk could step aside, and I would willingly appoint a diverse conservative candidate to replace her until an election of the people can take place. Tom Dunn, member Leesburg Town Council
loud sounds. I do not know where the noise level limits of 55dBA/C and 75dBA/C were derived, but they are not realistic. You cannot measure a sound source with A and C weighting and expect to see the same levels. There is a major difference between the A and C weighted measurements. An A weighted measurement will read a lower decibel level than a C weighted for the same source. This is because A weighting is not as sensitive to frequencies below approximately 250 hertz as C weighting is. A normal conversation between two people in a room measured at 10 feet averages 63 to 75 dBA and 68 to 81dBC. I live on a two-lane, 55-mph road and have measured the traffic noise from 85 to over 99 dBC. Also, how will the measurements be collected; instantaneously, averaged (how many samples for how long), and from what distance from the source? For every doubling of the distance from the source the measurement will read 6dB lower; it’s called the Inverse Square Law. It’s physics; you can’t get around it. Also amplified sound from a vehicle—is that measured with the windows opened or closed? These are just some examples of flaws (there are more) I have found with this whole noise issue. I am not condoning irresponsible people annoying their neighbors, or bars having live music until 2 a.m. I would like to see this issue thought out more thoroughly. These restrictions appear to be aimed at bars and restaurants with outside music. These businesses bring vital tax dollars to the town and place Leesburg on the map as a great place to visit and have a good time. Lastly, in reference to Mayor Umstattd’s comment, “The level of 75 decibels is too high. You won’t be able to hear yourself think.” To this I wonder; with all the noise around her, how does she manage to think? Rich DiStefano, Lovettsville

—loudoun parent, on Mother Asks School To Be Named After Late Son Mathias
Dear Editor: This is in response to the letter saying it was fair game for the Board of Supervisors to pick and choose who will be permitted to do what with their land in the transition zone. The residents who were placed in the transition area were not given any voice as to why or for how long this would exist. It is now going on for approximately 10 years. We have seen over these past years all the land around us being developed and not all by right. South Riding continues to build with more townhomes, homes and schools. So does the much-needed Dulles Landing Shopping Center. Why? Because they were not put in the transition area. Stone Ridge continues to build with more townhomes, schools, and the much-needed library, hospital, rehab center, and hospice center. All these are great for our community. We are grateful we don’t have to go into other counties for these services. Now to put the icing on the cake, Brambleton is coming in with more than 506 new homes. It has more than 8,500 homes already approved for that area. What did the developers provide? Land for more schools and some of this land was in the transition area. So I guess it is just who you know. All this development from Brambleton will be at the end of Fleetwood Road, which is a single-lane dirt road that already cannot handle the traffic. The Lynn property with approximately 17 acres was approved for 80 townhomes just below the Brambleton school; the county was given a walking trail. Now you tell me the residents in the transition area aren’t being discriminated against? Sure, you tell us we can go by right—that is if we want to sell for half the value of our property at a time when all these other areas are building on top on one another. If this were your property what would you do? If the environmental group and the Aldie residents want nothing built, I would ask that the growth boundary be placed at Rt. 15 and beyond that land can be preserved with your agricultural incentives. That way the residents who are being penalized and discriminated against can go on with the development that is at our back door. I have lived in Loudoun County, as the McIntoshs have, for more than 50 years and don’t understand why we have been placed in the Transition Area where we can’t benefit from our land that we have paid taxes on and worked hard over the years to keep, but are being told what we can do and cannot do with our land. It sure doesn’t sound like justice to me. Aleta Kennedy, Aldie

Field hockey is a girls sport that is funded by every school district in the DC metro area—not sure how it’s stayed out of LCPS for this long.

few teachers know anything about biomedical conditions underlying these – e.g. auto-immune disorder, mitochondria dysfunction, methylization cycle impairment, gut dysfunction, brain inflammation and chemical sensitivity. We haven’t met one Loudoun teacher who ever went to a conference learn about them. Too bad since they would meet some of the best researchers, as well as teachers and parents who are learning about therapies, diets and medications that help autistic children remain healthy enough to learn at school. Few autism therapists have employed music, art and sports as modalities to help kids want to and learn academic skills. Yet these kids are typically movers who need physical activity to feed back to their brains that their hands and feet exist; toxic metals embedded in their brains and bodies oftentimes impede these sensations. Such modalities require enough space and equipment for sensory integration. Yet children with autism in Loudoun oftentimes get the smallest, least ventilated classrooms. One year our child’s cubby hole was only a few feet from the school’s generator for heating and cooling, not the greatest location for a kid who is sensitive to electro-magnetic radiation. The autism spectrum is so wide that one size does not fit all or even comes close. Few districts including Loudoun have the talent, accountability systems and openness to parents to effectively educate many children on the spectrum. They cannot show data to indicate whether their programs are getting better or worse. Supervisors often know less than the teachers they supervise and haven’t taught in years if at all. And time of teachers and parents is largely wasted in contentious, endless IEP meetings and mediations. For all of the foregoing Loudoun and other districts have had difficulty in accommodating the great diversity of children on the autism spectrum. I commend Del. LaRock’s proposed legislation that would enable parents of children with disabilities to purchase services for their child with state funds that would otherwise go to their school district. A handful of states already provide such an option. I hope the next legislative session would increase the funds available under this Parental Choice Savings Account to make it possible to mount serious programs with expert teachers for difficult-to-educate children like mine. The issue of more state funding for schools should also be debated on its merits. But it is naive to believe these additional funds would trickle down to benefit special needs children more than a program that allows parents to directly control the destiny of their child. Public schools would actually benefit, since they would eventually hire many of the professionals we parents find to reach and teach the most difficult to educate. In effect, we would become their talent scouts. Barry Stern, Purcellville

Fairfax 2015 made a variety of announcements recently related to the upcoming World Police & Fire Games competition taking place this summer from June 26 – July 5.

The majority of Dulles International travelers can use ‘Dulles Passport Express,’ which does not require pre-registration or an enrollment fee. Passengers using ‘Dulles Passport Express’ no longer need to complete a paper Customs Declaration form. Instead, they scan their passport at the kiosk, answer a series of questions using the touch screen, and have their photograph taken. The kiosk then prints a receipt, which the passengers take to a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer for a brief final inspection. The addition of ‘Dulles Passport Express,’ as well as other enhancements from Customs and Border Protection, has helped make international arrivals at Dulles among the fastest in the country.

Passengers looking for a bite to eat before boarding a flight home will find numerous new restaurants – from celebrity chef-owned Bar Symon, to local favorite &Pizza, to French offering Bistro Atelier. And travelers searching for something special – or a last minute gift – now have new choices like Mont Blanc, Burberry, Thomas Pink and Washingtonian Express, to name just a few. The changes are part of a near-complete redevelopment of all the stores and restaurants in the airport.
outbound flights dropping over the past few years - live wait-time information for each of the two main security checkpoints are available online – flying out of Washington Dulles International is easier than ever. And now, with the advent of ‘Dulles Passport Express’ self-service kiosks in the international arrivals areas, flying into Washington from overseas just got faster too.
The Games present an amazing opportunity for our region and our communities as we honor and celebrate our everyday heroes – first responders – who do so much to serve and protect us all.
Opi ni on
In just a few weeks, thousands of athletes will descend on the greater Washington region from across the world. And for most of those world travelers, their first stop will be at Washington Dulles International Airport. And the airport wants to make sure they have a memorable experience. Across Washington Dulles International Airport, changes over the past year are providing enhanced shopping and dining opportunities, increased speed through security checkpoints, and, in just the last few months, faster processing for many passengers arriving on international flights.
The Fairfax 2015 World Police & Fire Games will take place from June 26 to July 5, 2015. 12,000 athletes from over 70 countries are expected to compete in 61 sports in 53 area venues.

”With an event of this magnitude, there are a lot of early assumptions related to venues and competition dates. As the bracketing process moves forward, we are able to see areas in which we are able to scale back our needs,” said Bill Knight, Fairfax 2015 President and CEO. “In the case of ice hockey we found that we were able to fulfill our competition needs with three venues instead of four. While we are sorry to remove Kettler from our list of host venues, we appreciate and thank Arlington County for their support of the Games.”

“We have tried to be as flexible as possible with registration deadlines while
Based on the bracketing process, Fairfax 2015 also announced that a decision has been made to remove the Kettler Capitals Iceplex from its final competition venue list. The ice hockey competition will be held at three other venues within the region. A supporting competition shuttle hub planned for Arlington to support hockey games will also be eliminated. Additionally, it was announced that Indoor Soccer, Indoor Rowing and Wrist Wrestling competitions will each be shortened by 1 day.
Bu s in e s s
Unlike in past Games, there are hard deadlines for registration for most sports. While there are some exceptions for sports where individuals can be added easily, such as Rowing, Triathalon and the Half Marathon, Games organizers will not be accepting walk-up registrations as has been done in previous Games. Teams who have provided their minimum rosters however, may continue to add team members beyond registration deadlines up until maximum roster space has been reached.
ensuring the bracketing process runs smoothly and venue space and date considerations are managed responsibly,” said, Fairfax 2015 COO, DJ Mackovets. “Coming out of the first bracketing session, we are pleased to be able to extend the deadlines for a number of sports and hope that this will give our public safety athletes additional time to make vacation and travel arrangements to participate in the Games.”
Educa t io n
Following a week long bracketing session in which Fairfax 2015 and World Police & Fire Games Federation officials met to determine the positioning of registered teams into various divisions, it was determined that registration would remain open for most sports beyond the originally scheduled April 30th deadline. The exceptions to this extension are Basketball 3 x 3, Rugby, Indoor Volleyball, Beach Volleyball, Badminton, Crossfit, Golf and Ice Hockey. All other sports registration will close May 31st and beyond unless maximum registration numbers are reached in advance of those dates. Based on their current registration status, it is expected that Baseball, Lacrosse and Paintball will be the next sports to be closed out.
