Loudouners Caught Futbal Fever

From left, Jack LaMay, Isabel Castillejo and Joshua Darr, react to a missed goal by the U.S. team in the match against Belgium Tuesday. The U.S.’s 2-1 loss put them out of the World Cup tournament. But there’s still plenty of soccer to watch leading up to the finals July 13, with eight teams vying for the championship.

ric Williams vowed to faithfully and impartially lead Loudoun’s public schools to the best of his ability when he was sworn in Monday as the county’s seventh school superintendent since 1917. Williams took the oath of office, repeating the words after Circuit Court Clerk of the Court Gary Clemens, before

a gathering of state legislators, members of the School Board and top school administrators, including outgoing superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick who served in the position 23 years. “I am absolutely thrilled,” Williams said after taking the oath. “The word ‘oath’ in ‘oath of office’ is a solemn word, but it’s appropriately solemn given the task of the superintendent. “I’m incredibly honored to serve as superintendent here, to be able to build

on the strong tradition of excellence in our schools—to sustain excellence and to build on that excellence,” he said. Williams added he was committed to working with those in the room and those community leaders who were not in attendance to make that happen. “Thank you for such a warm welcome. I look forward to working with all of you.” Hatrick shook hands with his successor and congratulated him. Williams Continued on Page 7

Loudoun Schools Usher In A New Era

s the Loudoun County School Board dug into the spending plan drawn up by Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick from January through April, they asked a lot of questions—257 to be exact—to understand the rationale behind each line item. With an emotional budget season in the rearview mirror, and a new superintendent sworn in Monday, School Board members have said they want to carry out the budget process differently next time around. They’ve said they want Superintendent Eric Williams to work closely with them as he drafts his budget, and they want to start the process earlier. Much earlier. The board members made good on the second part of that promise last Saturday when they held a work session to begin planning for the fiscal year 2016 budget, 10 days before fiscal year 2015 begins. The repeated sentiment throughout the five-hour meeting was that the board members want information about the budget—from enrollment projections to

Rachel Shabica, the museum’s registrar for collection management, left, and architect Lauren Perry tour one of the lab spaces inside the new textile conservation facility.

building was conceived with textiles in mind, Ford said, noting the brickwork was designed to evoke a weaving pattern. The building, at 44930 Knoll Square, also includes a wing of as-yet-undeveloped offices that university leaders are eyeing as a possibility for business incubator space. Ford noted that it would be difficult, prohibitively expensive, to build this type of facility in an urban setting such as GWU’s main campus. Building it in Ashburn is viewed as another way to generate more interest and activity at the campus. The university has wrestled to build an identity for the property since the campus was established in 1991. University leaders at one point even considered selling the land before committing to a science and technology focus for its Virginia operations. The newest building is designed to promote that spirit and be a gateway to the campus, Ford said. Once the collection is fully moved in, the conservation center will not be a place for the general public to view the artifacts. Chiefly, exhibits will be at the university’s new 35,000-squarefoot museum, located at G and 21st Streets, and some items may go out for display on loan. Items at the center will be available for researchers and students. The new museum and the conservation center are key elements in the university’s plan to expand its already well-respected museum studies program by developing partnerships with other departments within the school to provide people from other disciplines with access to the holdings. n

tion would not be complete until late September. The collection includes oriental rugs, 15th century Mamluk rugs from Egypt, rare Indian carpet fragments, 17th century Caucasian dragon carpets; early Islamic textiles, items from Indian, southeast and central Asian, Persian, Turkish and Greek cultures and from China, Japan and Africa. Extensive holdings of pre-Columbian Peruvian textiles include Ocucaje, Nasca, Huari, Chimu, Chancay and Inca items. The oldest item is from Peru, a textile dating to 3000 B.C. The Ashburn center will be more than a storage warehouse. The facility includes rooms designed to allow researchers to examine and photograph items, wet and dry labs to help curators clean and restore pieces, a dye lab to be used in building the museum’s exhibit displays, which also will be constructed in the building. There is still fundraising to be done to purchase much of the equipment needed for the labs, Shabica said. But conservation work had been conducted in a garage at the S Street museum, so there has already been an upgrade in that part of the operation. Architect Lauren Perry Ford, of Cooper Carry, said the conservation center includes many special features designed to protect the collection. In addition to climate controls that carefully manage factors such as temperature and humidity, the center’s clean-room areas have a higher level of air filtration and multiple air barriers. Blackout windows limit the infiltration of UV light. Careful thought was put to the location of water lines to protect the collection should leaks occur. Even the glass and brick exterior of the

onstruction of sophisticated structures carefully designed to preserve information collected from sources around the globe is a familiar sight in Loudoun. However, on the George Washington University’s Virginia Science and Technology Campus in Ashburn a different type of facility is taking shape—one protecting material created as long as 5,000 years ago. The university’s new Conservation and Collections Resource Center doesn’t store its information by the terabyte on silicon discs and chips as found in the area’s many data centers. It is specially designed to protect more than 20,000 objects that have been collected by The Textile Museum over the past nine decades. Founded by George Hewitt Myers in 1925, the museum includes rugs and textiles from Africa, Asia and Latin America and, until now, those items have been stored and displayed in two S Street buildings the museum called home in Washington, DC. In 2011, GWU announced plans for a joint project to establish a new museum for the textile collection, as well as the university’s Albert H. Small Washingtoniana Collection and its collected artwork, on its Foggy Bottom campus. The Ashburn conservation center will be the support hub for that effort. The collections will be stored in climate-controlled areas in compartments and on shelves specifically designed for storage of rugs and other kinds of textiles. That will be a vast improvement over the current situation, according to Rachel Shabica, the museum’s registrar for collection management. At the museum’s S Street buildings—Myers’ former home and a home next door—items are stored in various rooms of the homes. “It will be a huge upgrade for our collection,” Shabica said during a recent tour. “It will help preserve these items for future generations.” The first items began their journey from the city June 4. Some 4,300 objects were packed and frozen to minus 33 degrees Celsius, a practice that ensures they arrive at the new storage center free of damaging insects. The building also has a large walk-in freezer that will be used to provide a weeklong freeze treatment for any other incoming material. Shabica said transfer of the full collec-

administrative leave, in accord with department protocol. The name of the suspect also has not been released and he has not been charged with any crime as of Tuesday afternoon. It was the third officer-involved shooting in Loudoun during the past 13 months; the previous two were fatal. In May 2013, a Loudoun deputy shot and killed a worker at the Sterling Costco after she became disruptive and threatened coworkers and responding deputies with scissors and a knife. The woman was shot after an attempt to disable her with a Taser failed. The investigation in that case concluded the deputy acted properly, resulting in a ruling by Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman that it was a justifiable homicide. In May of this year, a Purcellville Police officer shot and killed a 17-yearold boy who was reportedly threatening suicide. According to the report, the youth lunged at the officer with a knife. The Virginia State Police are continuing the investigation into that case. A final report is expected within the next several weeks. n

he Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office and the Virginia State Police are continuing to investigate a policeinvolved shooting that occurred shortly after 4 p.m. Tuesday June 24 on Albemarle Road in Sterling. According to the sheriff ’s office, deputies were responding to a disorderly conduct call. The suspect was brandishing a sword and was threatening family members outside a home. As deputies responded, the suspect was believed to have retrieved a firearm. The deputy ordered him to drop the weapon. He refused to comply and pointed the suspected weapon at the deputies before the shooting occurred, according to the report. Little new information has been released in the week following the incident. The man was airlifted to Inova Fairfax Hospital for treatment of injuries described as life-threatening. He was last listed in stable condition. The deputies were not injured. The deputy who shot the suspect has not been identified, but was placed on paid

thanked him and replied with a smile, “I’ll have your number on speed dial.” While it was a brief, informal ceremony, the feeling among those gathered was one of excitement for what the future holds for public education in Loudoun. School Board member Jeff Morse (Dulles) said the superintendent is one of the most influential positions in Loudoun, and Williams has the opportunity to direct the course of the 72,000-student school system and influence the direction of the county. School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) told Williams, “We are very excited about what you will do to lead what we believe is one of the best school systems in America, certainly in the commonwealth.” He also thanked Hatrick and acknowledged him as the catalyst that helped make education in Loudoun what it is today. Clemens called the ceremony an ushering in of a new generation of leadership in Loudoun County Public Schools. “Dr. Williams, we wish you well and Godspeed… and certainly wish you much success in your leadership.” Williams officially began his role as superintendent Tuesday. On his schedule for his first week are meetings with school board members and his assistant superintendents, as well as a few school visits and, of course, moving into the office that’s only ever been occupied by Superintendent Hatrick. “I arrived with a dozen boxes about an hour and a half ago, so I’ll begin to unpack those and put the books on the bookshelves,” he said Monday. “Life is good.” Loudoun’s school superintendents include Oscar Emerick, 1917-57; Clarence Bussinger, 1957-68; Robert Butt, 1968-88; David Thomas, 1988-91; Harry Bibb, 1991; and Hatrick, 1991-2014. n

LEESBURG MAN SENTENCED IN CHILD PORNOGRAPHY CASE

We would like to thank everyone who helped make this year’s Broad Run High School’s All Night Grad Party a success!

he 32-year-old Great Falls man charged with taking photos up the dress of an unsuspecting woman shopping at the Sterling Wegmans store in May pleaded guilty last week. Shahram Ghassemi was sentenced to 60 days in jail plus a 120-day suspended sentence. He will be required to undergo a sexual deviance evaluation and, upon his release from jail, will be placed on one year of supervised probation. The case began May 26 when LoudShahram Ghassemi oun deputies were called to the store after Wegmans’ loss prevention employees observed Ghassemi using his cell phone to take “upskirting” photos of a shopper.

Circuit Court Judge Stephen E. Sincavage handed down that sentence to Edward Pomeroy Staudt Jr., 62, last week. The case began in October 2013, when Virginia State Police encountered an individual using a peer-to-peer computer networking site to share child pornography. Special agents linked the user’s IP address to Staudt’s Leesburg residence. A search warrant was executed and computers, hard drives, CDs and VHS tapes were taken from the home. Forensic analysis on the items found Staudt was in possession of approximately 21,000 child pornography imEdward Staudt ages and 913 child pornography videos. In addition to his prison sentence, Staudt received an additional 18 years and six months of suspended time. Upon his release, he will be placed on supervised probation for 10 years. Additionally he will be prohibited from any unsupervised contact with minors, be required to remain more than 100 feet from any school, and successfully complete a sex offender treatment program. Staudt also will be required to register as a sex offender.

s part of its consent agenda Wednesday, the Board of Supervisors was expected to provide its administrative stamp of approval on a series of grants—totaling more than $1.2 million—to area charities and community support nonprofits. The process typically is part of the annual budget review, but the board adopted a new policy to set aside a block of funding for community nonprofits, $998,129 this year, for allocation to the organizations based on recommendations resulting from staff-level review. Under the board direction, 60 percent of the funds were distributed to health-related organizations. Grants totaled $595,494 as follows: HealthWorks for Northern Virginia ($175,991), INMED Partnership For Children ($47,176), Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers ($34,986), Loudoun Free Clinic ($84,242), Northern Virginia Dental Clinics ($25,000), Capital Caring ($11,794), A Place To Be ($5,349), Alzheimer’s Association National Capital Area ($5,349), Northern Virginia Family Services/LAMP ($8,424), Northern Virginia Family Services/ Early Childhood ($8,023), Brain Injury Services ($16,310), ENDependence Center of Northern Virginia ($53,488), Friends of Loudoun County Mental Health ($16,046), Northern Virginia Resources Center for Deaf & Hard of Hearing Persons ($21,395), and Blue Ridge Speech & Hearing Center ($80,000). In the field of hunger and homeless mitigation, the Good Shepherd Alliance was awarded a $69,869 grant. In the emergency services category, grants totaling $199,626 were awarded to: Loudoun Interfaith Relief ($44,988), Loudoun Citizens For Social Justice/LAWS ($71,981), American Red Cross in the National Capital Region ($20,403), Legal Services of Northern Virginia ($58,782) and Help for Others ($3,473). Loudoun Cares was awarded a $79,850 grant for administrative services. Grants totaling $49,906 were made in the category of Recreation and Culture to Loudoun Museum ($36,007), Loudoun Youth Inc. ($3,158), Loudoun Literacy Council ($4,725), Children’s Science Center ($3,008), and Loudoun Symphony Association ($3,008). Additionally, the Department of Economic Development staff recommended grants of $50,000 to the Washington Airports Task Force a s h b u r n and t o$170,000 d a y to the Loudoun Small Business Development Center. n

The Department of Economic Development would see the suspension of the international business recruiting program, saving $150,000 and the elimination of the rural marketing manager, saving $88,000. The Coupon Department of Building and Development would see the elimination of nine vacant positions and 10 FTEs in code enforcement, bond support and counter staffing. Regional organizations that traditionally get funding support from the county also will be hit.

the cost of upcoming initiative rollouts—earlier. “It seems it’s on us, if we see there is something coming down the pike where an equalized tax rate isn’t going to cut it, we need to have that discussion with the Board of Supervisors as soon as possible,” Kevin Kuesters (Broad Run) said. Typically, the School Board hears few details about the superintendent’s proposed budget until it is publicly presented during the first week in January. Then, the board has four weeks to pore through it, adopt it and present it as a funding request to the Board of Supervisors. By that time, in early February, county supervisors already are months into their budget planning and have advertised a tax rate, School Board members noted. Tom Reed (At Large) said, along with the School Board working more closely with the superintendent to draft the schools’ spending proposal, the School Board and the Board of Supervisors need to communicate as the county side of the budget is being drafted. Local tax funding makes up about 66 percent of Loudoun public schools’ annual budget. “We have got to be involved in the Board of Supervisors’ budget process or our budget process is a waste of time,” Reed said. E. Leigh Burden, assistant superintendent of Financial Services, and other school system administrators agreed to give the School Board information on funding projections as soon as they come in. But, she added, enrollment figures for the upcoming school year are not known until well into October, and “and a significant amount of our budget is based on those enrollment numbers.” Plus, the governor presents his changes to the state budget in December, which, depending on what the governor proposes, can cause Loudoun schools’ funding to fluctuate by as much as $5 million. “So getting all of this by the end of November is problematic,” Burden said. Jeff Morse (Dulles), who wants to begin forming a budget framework by November, said if the School Board’s budget is indeed a “needsbased budget”—a frequently repeated term defending the schools’ spending plan throughout the budget season—then “it has nothing to do with funding levels. “Yes, it’s important for us to know the number of students, but a lot of this at this point should be pro forma…We did not leave ourselves enough time this year and I think every one of us felt that. We have to start some place.” Over the next four hours of the work session the School Board did get an idea of some of the largest line items that will likely show up in the FY16 budget. The first, pointed out by Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) as an automatic increase, is $5.7 million to implement the adjustments the board made to the salary schedule as part of its FY15 budget.

Kevin Lewis, assistant superintendent for Support Services, said he and his staff want to purchase GIS tablets that will allow bus drivers to receive updated route information, with turn-by-turn directions, within seconds. The initiative would likely be phased in because of its high up-front costs, but Lewis said “We hope it will bring cost savings.”

The board included $7.1 million in its adopted FY15 budget to decrease the average elementary school classroom size by one student, from 24 to 23. Hornberger pointed out that that decision moved Loudoun County Public Schools from the highest average classroom size in the Washington, DC, area to the

class size

Burden told board members it would cost about $14 million if board members and the superintendent want to give a step increase to every eligible employee in FY16. For employees to be moved up one step on the pay scale, they must receive at least a satisfactory evaluation, which Hornberger noted almost every employee does. Kuesters and Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) said they would like to give administrators flexibility to provide raises based on employees’ performance instead of giving a raise across the board. “Raises are generally given to employees who have gone above and beyond or given more responsibility, not just because they decided to stay with the company another year,” Turgeon said. Hornberger said they could draft a proposal on how to do that and to bring it forward.

Superintendent Williams has a new initiative called One to the World that Assistant Superintendent of Technology Services Rich Contartesi described as a hybrid model for the one-to-one approach to provide every student with a digital device. Under Williams’ proposal students would be encouraged to bring their own laptops or tablets to school, and the school system would provide devices to students who do not have their own. “One to the World is going to be our big push and initiative for 2015 and 2016,” Contartesi said. Hornberger asked Contartesi to present his and Williams’ vision for a one-to-one model by August or September at the latest. “We want to know some of these things that will drive increases in the budget,” he said.

school system’s salary schedule more competitive for experienced teachers and administrators was part of the board’s priorities through the FY15 budget season. Burden told board members to also expect an increase in funding requests to cover the cost of as many as 2,000 new students, the opening of Riverside High School in the fall of 2016 and most likely an increase in health insurance premiums for the system’s 9,821 employees. Hornberger said the weekend work session is the first of several early conversations the School Board will have about the FY16 budget. Hornberger expects to hold a similar work session in August or September with Williams. Neither Williams nor Hatrick was at the meeting.

The school system has 35 different contract calendars for its employees. Burden said her staff would come up with a recommendation to potentially reduce the number of calendars and, in that process, look for efficiencies.n

Supervisors have taken no formal position on the proposal, which first surfaced in a request from the Virginia Investment Partnership in connection with its plans to build a minor league baseball and soccer stadium at One Loudoun in Ashburn. • Loudoun’s getting a new sister. Up for a Board of Supervisors’ vote this week is a resolution to enter a “sister city friendship” with Gangneung, South Korea. Loudoun already has a sister city relationship with Goyang City in that country.

he Board of Supervisors this week began the effort of picking names for the two Loudoun Silver Line stations that will be built as part of the Phase II Metrorail expansion. A decision on station names is required for the contractors working on the final designs of the project. The names will be included on station pylons, road signs and signs throughout the entire Metrorail system. Under policies established by the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, which will operate the line, station names must be brief (no more than 19 characters) but also distinctive to Loudoun County and relevant to geographic features or communities within walking distance of the station. The process to select names could take six months, under the approved WMATA policy— including compiling lists of candidate names, holding public meetings, potentially a period of online voting, mandatory focus groups and finally approval by the Loudoun and WMATA boards. Loudoun’s stops currently are identified as the Rt. 606 station and the Rt. 772 station— names unlikely to make the final cut. Supervisors Wednesday were to open talks on how to conduct the naming effort and more details will follow.

the authorized budget. The 64,235-square-foot facility is slated to include a 10-lane, 100-yard range, an 18-lane, 50-yard range, three classrooms, two use-offorce simulator training rooms and a force-onforce training structure. After abandoning plans to build a larger regional training facility, supervisors in 2011 agreed to construct a LCSO range for an estimated cost of $14.3 million, funds already allocated to the project. The cost of the center as designed is estimated at $19.3 million. According to the staff report, opportunities to save money by scaling back the facility or phasing construction are slim, because much of the center’s programming is mandated by legal cases. The recommendation presented to supervisors Wednesday was to continue with the project and find money to make up the shortfall.

Hatrick Wishes For More Music, Less Partisanship Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

dgar B. Hatrick III retired this week as the region’s longest serving school superintendent. He graduated from Loudoun County High School in 1963, and returned to his alma mater four years later to teach English. He served as assistant principal at Broad Run High School from 1969 to 1970, and as principal of Loudoun County High School from 1975 to 1978. He moved up the administration ranks to oversee special education, foreign language, instruction, planning and pupil services before he was named superintendent in 1991. Leesburg Today sat down with him to talk about his years growing up in Loudoun County, his experience at the forefront of changes in public education and the future of the county’s public school system. Leesburg Today: What is part of Loudoun’s public schools today that you wish you had when you were a student? Edgar B. Hatrick: For me, it’s more what do I wish I would’ve taken advantage of, and that’s music. I did not participate in music at all when I was in school, and yet I love music and I’ve sung in a choir for the last 40 or 50 years. LT: Who was your most impactful mentor? Hatrick: There are so many people who have had such an impact on my life. I have to go back to the fourth grade Opal McLin, my fourth grade teacher at Coconut Grove Elementary School in Florida. She had an enthusiasm for teaching and learning that was just infectious. And along that vein, I think about my senior high school English teacher, Frieda Myers. She had a huge impact on me. English was my least favorite subject. I was all about science and math, and then I wound up being an English teacher. I wrote back to all of my English teachers when I was in college and had decided to be an English teacher and just thanked them. And of course you can’t have grown up in Loudoun County at the time I did and not mention Charles Monroe and J.

Edgar B. Hatrick’s last day as superintendent of Loudoun County Public Schools was Monday. He led the school system for 23 years.

Lupton Simpson. I am fortunate to know these people who are just the giants of public education in Loudoun County. LT: You’ve hired thousands of people over the years. Who was your best hire? Hatrick: There are two people: Ned Waterhouse, our deputy superintendent, and Sharon Ackerman, assistant superintendent of instruction. When I became director of special education, I chose Ned Waterhouse to be the supervisor of special education and we worked together ever since. And Sharon Ackerman—she had a long, well-credentialed career before I was able to select her to be the assistant superintendent of instruction. Those two people have had such an impact on the school system… and have been my two closest advisors. LT: What’s the most difficult decision you’ve had to make in your tenure? Hatrick: For myself personally, it was probably about eight or nine years ago when I was

offered a position that was the most tempting position I’ve ever been offered other than working for LCPS. So I labored over it longer than anything else in my career. But once I made the decision not to take that position I haven’t looked back. I haven’t regretted it because all the years since have been great. LT: One big change in education in the past 15 years was the call for more school security following the Columbine shooting. How did that impact you as superintendent? Hatrick: Nothing caught the attention of the nation like that. Nothing caught the attention of superintendents like that. It was such a slap in the face about our vulnerability. What it told me more than anything is that school culture is critical to school success. That it’s not just about reading, writing and arithmetic. You really do have to create a culture where people are looking out for each other and are not afraid to protect others by letting the adults in the building know what’s going on.

LT: Do you have any immediate plans after retirement? Hatrick: More time with grandchildren. I am going to see my granddaughter play ice hockey—she is quite the ice hockey player and I’ve never seen a game—and I’m going to see the youngest one do gymnastics. I’ll be doing some consulting work with an energy conservation company called Synergistic. LCPS started with them in 1992, and have helped us save close to $60 million since. I’m going to do some consulting work with them because I believe in what they do. We also want to travel to see parts of the country I’ve never been to. LT: You’re involved in so much more outside of the schools. In what capacity will the community see you? Hatrick: First thing I accepted to do after retirement was to be on the board of directors of the Leesburg Daybreak Rotary Club. I’m a charter member… and I’ll work my way into trying to be more of service to the club Continued on Next Page

Middleburg Students Teach, Learn In China

hortly after their school year wrapped up at Middleburg Academy, nine high school juniors changed roles from students to teachers during a 17-day visit in China. The students taught American history, geography and cultural lessons to Chinese students at a camp hosted by the OVO International School, a school in southern China with which Middleburg Academy has an ongoing partnership. “Our students are doing a great job working with students from varying backgrounds, with varying language skills, and with differing levels of interest,” Language

Department Chair Brittany Myers wrote in her daily report on the trip. “Their knowledge is impressive, and they are working hard to explain the differences that make our country unique.” The Middleburg students, along with Myers and Head of School Colley Bell, also took in plenty of lessons. They received crash-courses in Tai Chi, tea preparation, tofu preparation, calligraphy and Mandarin. They also took time to visit the Great Wall, Tiananmen Square, the Summer Palace, the 2008 Olympic Village, a Buddhist temple and the city and mountains of Shenzhen, before returning home Saturday. n

LT: You ran for Board of Supervisors in 1978. Do you think you’ll run for public office again? Hatrick: I have no immediate intensions to run for public office, but by the same token I think public service is one of the most important things a person can give to the community. I disagree with the Board of Supervisors and the School Board and the legislators, but that doesn’t mean I don’t respect what they do. I

Northern Virginia Community College will hold an open house for its Adult Career Pathways program 6-8 p.m. Thursday, July 10, at its Loudoun campus. Adult Career Pathways is a free program that pairs adult students with a counselor who provides ongoing support and guidance through each step of the college experience. To register for ACP and for more information about the program go to www. nvcc.edu/acp, email acp@nvcc.edu or call 703-425-5245.

The school offers half- day and full-day kindergarten, pre-K and toddlers’ programs and provides before- and after-school programs. Parents may arrange a tour at the Leesburg School while preparations are completed at the Purcellville School. The Montessori School of Purcellville is accepting applications for Montessori teachers and assistant teachers as well as music, Spanish and karate instructors.

LT: What will be your successor’s biggest challenge? Hatrick: I think the biggest challenge Dr. (Eric) Williams will have will be continued funding for education. If he can bring a different approach to that that is more successful—more power to him. I think the other big challenge he faces is getting us moving in technology again. We have gone from eight years ago being the go-to place in America… for how to use technology to improve instruction, and now we’re stalled and others are passing us by… Dr. Williams is very knowledgeable in technology so I expect him to be able to get us back on track. Loudoun continues to be a community that values its public education system, without question. Doesn’t mean we don’t debate how

and what we ought to do. But whatever people say, we can afford to have a great public school system in Loudoun County. It’s a matter of just getting people to say this is an investment in our future. This is worth doing. And getting over the partisan political rhetoric… I think at the local level political parties don’t add anything positive to the mix. They bring down all of these arguments that are occurring at the national level and impose them on localities where it isn’t important… Dr. Williams is going to have to deal with all of that. When I’m talking to classes of superintendent wanna-bes, I tell them just straight up, if you come from a position that you don’t want to be political you’re looking at the wrong position because it is political. But politics to me isn’t a dirty word, and maybe it’s because I’m raised on the days of Dwight Eisenhower, (Senate minority leader) Everett Dirksen, Lyndon B. Johnson… It wasn’t always about the R or the D. They knew how to come together to get done what needed to be done for America. n

Dulles Posts Another Decline In Passenger Traffic

ealthy year-over-year growth at Reagan National and the final departure of a rough winter season helped push the total passenger count at Northern Virginia’s two major airports 1 percent higher in April compared with a year before. But the figures continue to showcase weakness at Dulles, where increasing international service couldn’t offset an ongoing decline in domestic traffic. The two airports saw 3,621,342 passengers in April, according to figures reported June 16 by the Metropolitan Washington Air-

ports Authority, up from 3,585,203 in April 2013. The growth was concentrated at Reagan National, which saw its year-over-year passenger total rise 3.1 percent to 1,832,177. In what used to be a rarity but is likely to become more commonplace, National welcomed more passengers during the month than Dulles, which reported a decline of 0.5 percent from a year before, to 1,798,165, according to airport leaders. American, US Airways, Delta, United and Southwest all posted higher year-over-year passenger counts at National. At Dulles, dominant

carrier United reported a 4.8 percent decline in domestic passengers, while Delta also saw a decline as it moved flights to National. United remained the dominant carrier at Dulles; the mainline airline and its regional affiliates accounted for 65.4 percent of all traffic, down slightly from a year before. The merged (but not yet integrated) American and US Airways had the next largest presence, at 5.3 percent, followed by Delta at 4.5 percent. At Reagan National, US Airways, United and its regional affiliates controlled 58.2 percent of passenger travel in April, down slightly from a year before. Second was Delta (15.7

The region’s third major airport, Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall, saw a passenger increase of 2.7 percent to 1,914,769 during the month. The combined (and almost fully integrated) Southwest and Airtran controlled 71.8 percent of passenger traffic during the month, unchanged from a year before. n

Region Nears Economic Rebound Point

he Washington region remains tantalizingly close to, but just below, its pre-recession economy, having rebounded better than most of the nation, according to updated

figures. The D.C. metro area sits at 97 percent of pre-recession economic levels, compared to 88 percent nationally, according to the most recent National Association of Home Builders/First American “Leading Markets Index.” The D.C. region, which has hovered at just below 100 percent on the ranking for months, was 77th out of 351 U.S. metro areas, according to the June report. Of those 351 metro markets, 56 have

returned to or exceeded their last normal levels of economic and housing activity, a net gain of nine metros year over year. The index’s nationwide score of 88 percent held steady from the previous month. Meanwhile, 30 percent of metro areas saw their score rise this month and 83 percent have shown an improvement over the past year. “Markets are gradually returning to normal levels of housing and economic activity,” said NAHB chairman Kevin Kelly, a homebuilder and developer from Wilmington, DE. “When we see more sustainable levels of job growth, this will unleash pent-up demand and bring more buyers into the marketplace.” The ranking is derived from three components: housing

prices, construction permits and employment. The five best performing communities all were tied to the booming energy sector: Odessa, TX, was at 243 percent of its pre-recession economy, followed by Midland, TX, (216 percent); Casper, WY, (157 percent); Bismarck, ND (157 percent); and Grand Forks, ND (142 percent). Baton Rouge, LA, which ranked sixth best in June, continues to top the list of major metros on the LMI, with a score of 140 percent of its last normal market level. At the bottom of the ranking stood Flint, MI, which is only at 60 percent of its pre-recession economic strength. Also at the bottom were Dalton, GA (61 percent); Rockford, IL (62 percent); Mansfield, OH (64 percent); and

Monroe, MI. (64 percent). Las Vegas was the largest metro area near the bottom of the rankings, with an economy running at 70 percent of pre-recession levels. Among Virginia metro areas outside Washington, Hampton Roads stood at 98 percent of pre-recession levels, ranking 69th; Harrisonburg, at 94 percent, ranked 97th; Charlottesville, at 92 percent, ranked 110th; Richmond, at 90 percent, ranked 128th; Lynchburg, at 89 percent, ranked 134th; and Winchester, at 88 percent, ranked 154th. Roanoke, in 216th place at 82 percent, was at the bottom of the ranking among Virginia metro areas. n

• Tuesday morning’s scheduled launch of Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corporation’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 satellite was halted just minutes before liftoff at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. A problem was found with water flow on the launch pad just before 6 a.m. The mission is operating with a 30-second launch window and a schedule for a second launch attempt was not immediately announced. Orbital designed, built and tested the carbon dioxide-measuring spacecraft at its satellite manufacturing facility in Gilbert, AZ, for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA’s first satellite to make spacebased measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide, OCO-2 is planned to launch aboard a Delta II rocket. Following its deployment, the satellite will undergo several weeks of in-orbit testing then will be commanded to maneuver into a 438-mile altitude, near-polar orbit with five other scientific satellites as part of the Afternoon (A-Train) Constellation. This international constellation of Earth-observing satellites circles the globe once every 98 minutes in a sun-synchronous orbit that crosses the equator near 1:30 p.m. local time and repeats the same ground track every 16 days. Orbital will perform the day-to-day mission operations of OCO-2 from the company’s Mission Operations Center in Loudoun. It is the 151st spacecraft Orbital has completed for customers during the past 32 years.

ne of the most popular events at the Loudoun County Fair each year is the finale of the Kiss A Pig contest on closing night. This year, four Loudoun business and civic leaders are battling to see who can raise the most money in support of 4-H programs—and who gets the honor of the piggy pucker. The four contestants are fundraising over the next few weeks leading up to the fair, which runs July 21-26 at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds just west of Leesburg. The winner will be announced on the fair’s closing day and will kiss a pig of undisclosed size. Competitor Chris Padden, branch manager at Sonabank in downtown Leesburg, also serves as treasurer for the Leesburg Downtown Business Association and works with many area restaurants.

f you’ve ever strolled down Market Street on one of Leesburg’s First Fridays, chances are you’ve heard the lively tunes of Hard Swimmin’ Fish wafting on the breeze. The Frederick, MDbased old-time blues quartet brings its eclectic, high-energy show to the Bluemont Concert Series’ courthouse concert for the second year in a row Sunday July 6. The band, known for its retro style—think wingtips and pork pie hats—plays a mix of old school blues styles, from Mississippi country blues, Piedmont, Chicago, New Orleans second line and beyond. Band members have a penchant for taking little known blues songs and giving them their own flair, thanks to drummer Jason Walker’s world music percussion influences, bassist Randy Ball’s technique and singer/ guitarist Demian Lewis’ arrangements, harmonica player/vocalist Waverly Milor said. “It gives the song a different twist,” Milor said. “Demian’s so skilled at taking an old song and keeping the essence and updating it.” The band has become ubiquitous in Loudoun, with its popular

Gable and a group of former winners get together every year to come up with a list of possible contestants. Once the contestants have been lined up, Gable gives them fundraising goals and ideas. In past years, contestants have raised from $1,000 to $10,000 each. Gable said the event is always good for a few surprises and lots of laughs. “Sometimes it’s a cute piglet, sometimes it’s a gigantic pig,” he said. “It’s really funny what they do, and it’s such a good cause.” n The Kiss A Pig event takes place at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26, at the Loudoun County Fairgrounds.

First Friday gig at the Cajun Experience and regular appearances at area wineries, and has cultivated a significant local following through word of mouth and social media. With its burgeoning restaurant and winery scene, Loudoun has been a good fit for the band, which performs plugged in or acoustic, depending on the venue. The band’s original three members—Lewis, Walker and Ball—grew up in Montgomery County, MD, and played music together for years before forming Hard Swimmin’ Fish a dozen years ago. Milor connected with the group as stage manager of the Frederick Blues Festival and joined the band in 2008. Members are spread out across the tri-state area, though Lewis’ home in Frederick is the band’s base of operations. Lewis also is a prolific songwriter and the band has a sizeable repertoire of originals, which it will be busting out at Bluemont. “It’s the most high-energy, fun show and they work so well with the kids,” according to Bluemont Concert Series Executive Director Lily Dunning. The band’s infectious energy is

popular with fans of all ages, and members adapt their set list based on the venue. As part of its arrangement with Bluemont, the group also will perform at a retirement home Sunday afternoon, and the courthouse concert is a favorite of band members who enjoy the all-ages vibe. “It’s part of who we are as a group…I love the fact that kids love to dance when we’re playing,” Milor, who teaches special education at an elementary school in Charlottesville, said. “The band is very energetic and we really engage the audience. We make it feel like it’s a party. We draw people in and give them permission to have a good time.” n Hard Swimmin’ Fish will play at 7 p.m. July 4 at the Cajun Experience in Leesburg and take the stage at the Loudoun County Courthouse at 7 p.m. Sunday, July 6.

On The Recall Effort

nother act in the Eugene Delgaudio circus closed last week, with a not-so-surprising ending. The county supervisor has been cloaked in a cloud of suspicion for almost two years, facing accusations that he misused county government resources, mistreated his staff and skirted the law in his seemingly nonstop fundraising efforts. Upon review of the 22-page motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought by a citizen recall petition, Circuit Court Judge Paul Sheridan agreed with the appointed prosecutor, Arlington Commonwealth’s Attorney Theophani K. Stamos, that the petition claims were unsupported by evidence collected in the case. She concluded that not only did the case lack “clear and convincing” evidence required to win a conviction, but also there did not even appear to be “probable cause” for the case to advance. The dismissal hinged on Ms. Stamos’ findings that the key witness—the fired Delgaudio aide who first raised questions with Washington Post reporters about the legality of the supervisor’s conduct—had exaggerated some claims (such as being required to spend of all her time setting up appointments with fundraising targets) and lacked any supporting evidence for others. Also found lacking was the seven-point list of allegations included in the formal recall petition—a document compiled and circulated even before the first facts of the case were published in an extraordinary special report by the grand jury. In the end, the recall petition effort was fairly characterized as a case of political overreaching by Mr. Delgaudio’s opponents. Despite that conclusion the whole affair was not in vein. Particularly, the work of the grand jury proved valuable. Effective Tuesday, a new state law will permit localities to enact an ordinance specifying that part-time employees found to misuse public funds can be charged with a Class 1 misdemeanor. During its review, the grand jury was told that even if Mr. Delgaudio, a part-time county supervisor, had used his office resources for private purposes, the law permitted only full-time employees to pay a penalty for such action. Another result of the grand jury’s work was the adoption by the Board of Supervisors of new standards of conduct for supervisors managing their constituent office staffs. Even the motion to dismiss the recall action points out there is ample evidence to support claims that Mr. Delgaudio treated his office aides poorly and was, at the least, verbally abusive. His colleagues should not be quick to forgive that conduct when Mr. Delgaudio petitions to have his aide positions reinstated. The recall case ended with the same conclusion reached by the grand jury: that county voters should pay closer attention to the conduct of their elected representatives and get more involved in their local government. “Two years, hundreds of hours, and thousands of dollars have been expended investigating this matter. A much better use of petitioners’ time—and that of the lawyers who represent them—might well be to identify and recruit a candidate from Sterling to run against Mr. Delgaudio in the next election,” the prosecutor wrote. Although Mr. Delgaudio may view the conclusion of the proceedings as some sort of vindication, he would be better served to welcome the next 17 months in office as a valuable opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities to act as a dedicated and effective supervisor. Then it will be up to voters to pass judgment on the whole affair at the ballot box.

LETTERS to the editor Move On

Dear Editor:

recently went to Lancaster, PA, for a visit and decided to go to a Lancaster Barnstormers game in the league the would-be Hounds allegedly will be joining, the Atlantic League. Folks, we’re not missing much. They played with zero enthusiasm, not a single high five on the field, and with the notable exception of the Lancaster shortstop who made a couple of nice fielding plays (albeit while hitting .228), not a single player I saw belonged even at the Single A level in places like Frederick and Potomac. In fact, they played exactly like what they are—a bunch of kids who can’t make the roster of any major-league affiliated

team. With Frederick right down Rt. 15 and the Silver Line about to make it much easier to see the Nats, why do we need Bob Farren and his smoke and mirrors? I don’t think they’re ever going to build the stadium anyway, but I used to be upset by that thought. No more. Time to stop worrying about missing out on our chance to field a team in this “league” and move on. James Lewis, Leesburg

Half-Baked

Dear Editor: It was very satisfying to learn that the Eugene Delgaudio ethics court case was dismissed. I’ll be clear: I am a Republican and I have said publicly and privately that I do not agree with much of what

OPINION O pinio n

Supervisor Delgaudio says or does. But, he is the duly elected Sterling representative on the county Board of Supervisors. It is a shame that sour grapes Democrats led by sore loser John Flannery decided to use the court system to drive Delgaudio out of office. Their efforts failed spectacularly even though a Democrat (Theos Stamos) was prosecuting the case in a liberal venue (Arlington). Delgaudio is now entitled to recover his legal costs and I hope he collects every penny from Flannery and his group. Loudoun Democrats have proven that they cannot win local elections, which is why all 14 elected positions in Loudoun County are held by Republicans. If Democrats have a winning platform then let them present that to the voters and the voters will decide. The next elections are in 2015. In the meantime do not seek to usurp Virginia elections with half-baked judicial actions. David Mowbray, Ashburn

OnTheBooks New State Laws Take Effect

tudents will have fewer tests, cyclists will get more room on the road and hunters can now get that four-point buck on a Sunday. Starting today hundreds of new laws will go into effect in Virginia. Here’s some that have garnered a lot of interest: • SOL reform: Virginia students will be required to take fewer Standards of Learning exams, and a committee was created to continually review and make recommendations to improve the commonwealth’s assessment practices. • Moped and scooters: Drivers of the motorized bikes no longer need to be licensed but are required to carry government-issued photo identification. Drivers and passengers must wear a helmet, as well as a face shield or safety glasses or goggles. Mopeds and scooters operated in Virginia also need to be titled and registered. • Bicyclists: A new law extends the clearance motorists must give cyclists on the road from 2 feet to 3 feet. • Voter ID: Voters must present a photo ID to vote. Acceptable forms include a driver’s license, a U.S. passport or any other U.S. governmentissued photo ID; a student ID issued by any Virginia college or university; or any employee ID card. Voters without one of these forms of identification can apply for a free, state-issued photo ID card with registrars in any locality. • Sunday hunting: Hunters can now enjoy the sport on Sundays. Under the new law, a landowner and his immediate family or a person with written permission from the landowner may hunt or kill any wild bird or wild animal, including any nuisance species, on the landowner’s property on Sunday. • Mental health: Lawmakers made several changes to improve the care of mental health patients in Virginia, nudged by the stabbing of state Sen. Creigh Deeds by his son after he was sent home because no psychiatric bed was available at a local hospital. The duration of emergency custody orders has been increased from six to eight hours and the state now must find a bed for further temporary detention at one of its mental hospitals. The state will then have an additional four hours to find a bed at a hospital closer to the patient’s home. New legislation also requires the length of temporary detention orders be increased from 48 to 72 hours. • Ethics reform: Elected officials have a cumulative cap of $250 on the amount of gifts they can accept. The new ethics reform bill also requires disclosure of gifts given to spouses and immediate family members and increases transparency of financial disclosure forms by posting them online. It also lowers the threshold for reporting of stock holdings and investments on financial disclosure forms from $10,000 to $5,000. • Illegal images: A new law makes it a Class 1 misdemeanor to disseminate or sell an unauthorized nude or sexually explicit image of another person with the intent to harass, coerce or intimidate the person depicted. • Fox penning: Virginia’s more than 30 pens in which dogs chase captive foxes will be allowed to keep operating for up to 40 years, but new pens are prohibited. • Child support: Parents’ monthly child support obligation is now based on monthly income in increments of $35,000, with an additional amount calculated as a percentage of monthly income above $35,000. The bill also removes the $250 threshold on reasonable and necessary unreimbursed medical or dental expenses that are required to be paid by each parent in proportion to their gross incomes. Under the previous law, the custodial parent paid for any such cost below $250. By removing this threshold, parents split the cost. • Hybrid car tax: The $64 annual license tax on hybrid vehicles goes away. n
