Immune to the concept of defeat ■ Olympic hopeful Brandon Hudgins wins men’s 800meter race at Mason Spring Invitational

Mother’s Day marketing is in the house! ■ Local businesses show off products in home owned by White House floral designer

By Angela Woolsey Fairfax County Times Most athletes sport uniforms emblazoned with their team name or the logo of a sponsoring company. Brandon Hudgins’s jersey bears the emblem of the Vasculitis Foundation. A native of Boone, N.C., and a lifelong runner, Hudgins formed a partnership with the Vasculitis Foundation (VF) in February to launch an awareness campaign centered on the autoimmune disorder. “The Vasculitis Foundation…really believed in what I was doing and what I had to say,” Hudgins said. “[They wanted to] work together to inspire people of all walks of life, not just people with vasculitis, but people with vasculitis obviously being the main goal, because a lot of them haven’t had the luck that I’ve had with remission.” After enduring three separate bouts of vasculitis, which results in inflamed blood vessels due to an overactive immune system, Hudgins has now set his sights on the 2016 summer Olympics in Rio, Brazil. He took his first step toward qualifying for the Olympic trials, which will be held from June 26 to July 3 in Omaha, Neb., when he ran in the Mason Spring Invitational in Fairfax on Apr. 9. Hudgins took first place in the men’s 800-meter event, beating 44 other participants with a time of 1:53.23.

FRIDAY-SUNDAY, MAY 6-8, 2016

By Angela Woolsey Fairfax County Times Even in wealthy Fairfax County selling a million-dollar house can be a tricky proposition,

so the agents at Weichert Realtors’ Burke/Fairfax Station office came up with a unique idea: they opened up a property for local businesses to promote their products as Mother’s Day gifts. More than 20 vendors took up residence at a Fairfax Station estate on May 1 to show off their wares, which ranged from kitchen accessories to jewelry and cosmetics, to visitors at the free Mother’s Day Marketplace. See Mother’s Day Page A4

Brandon Hudgins raced in Fairfax as part of the Mason Spring Invitational, the first stop in his quest to qualify for the 2016 Summer Olympics which is looking to sell the property. Supported by the VF through their Victory over Vasculitis campaign, Hudgins also ran the 1,500-meter race in the Mt. Sac Relays, which took place from Apr. 14 to 16 in Norwalk, Calif., and the Penn Relays in Philadelphia, Penn., from Apr. 28 to 30. Hudgins is next scheduled to compete in the USA Track and Field (USATF) Road Mile Championships in Minneapolis, Minn., on May 12. “What an incredible athlete,” VF executive director Joyce Kullman said. “To have vasculitis and still be able to compete at such an impressive level, it’s just amazing.” Hudgins first contracted vasculitis in 2007 when he was 21

years old and in college. He realized something was wrong when he started experiencing sinus issues and hearing loss from what he thought was a “cold from hell that wouldn’t go away.” However, it wasn’t until April 2008 after months of taking antibiotics in vain that he officially was diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangitis (GPA) or Wegener’s, a form of vasculitis that specifically affects mediumsized arteries and leads to kidney, lung and sinus problems. Though he says that the disease didn’t affect his schoolwork that much, Hudgins could no longer run, a challenge for someone who’d participated in track and field since he was 10 years old. This

lasted two years as he was put on amino suppressants that were supposed to control his immune system but, in reality, proved ineffective. At one point, Hudgins had to spend a week in the hospital when his kidneys shut down. He went into remission after undergoing six months of chemotherapy, only to relapse two times in 2012 and 2013. Before he first relapsed, Hudgins had recovered from his first bout of vasculitis and was finally able to run again, but the disease’s return halted the progress that he’d made. “It was really mentally exhausting,” he said of struggling with relapses.

Scoring the transportation objectives rubric ■ Metro funding, alternatives to highway widening among priorities for Northern Virginia By Angela Woolsey Fairfax County Times The Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) has adopted a scoring rubric to determine which projects will be included in this year’s update to the state’s fiscal year 2017-2022 Six Year Improvement Plan (SYIP), the first time in the board’s history that it has used such an approach. The board released its project scores in April, and Northern Virginia county officials and community members got the opportunity on May 2 to comment on the rankings during a public meeting at the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) offices in Fairfax. “The best way I know to ask for more money is to use the money you have wisely and to

demonstrate to the public that you are doing so,” Virginia Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne explained to the public comments meeting attendees. “That’s what we’re attempting to do.” The CTB implemented the new scoring rubric after Gov. Terry McAuliffe signed House Bill Two (HB2) into law in 2014. HB2 required that the CTB adopt a scoring process for selecting projects to fund by July 2016. HB2 works in conjunction with House Bill 1887, which designated that 45 percent of the CTB’s annual $500 million allocation must go to each of the state’s nine construction districts to repair deteriorating infrastructure. By using an objective scoring rubric, the CTB creates a more equitable and transparent system for choosing and funding projects that will ensure taxpayer money is used properly, according to Layne. “It was a realization by Gov. McAuliffe and the leadership in the legislature that we have scarce resources,” Layne said on why moving away from the

CTB’s old formulas for allocating funding was necessary. “This new prioritization is a better use of dollars because of the limited resources and to put more objective measures for allocating money versus the politics of the past.” Under HB2, localities and regional transportation planning agencies, such as the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission (NVTC), submitted projects they want funded by Sept. 30, 2015. Projects eligible for submission included highway improvements, transit and rail capacity expansions, and facilities for managing transportation demand, such as park-and-ride lots. The CTB then screened those projects and scored them based on land use, accessibility, safety, environmental impact, economic development and congestion mitigation. Lastly, the board ranked the submitted projects by dividing their score by its requested funding. See Transportation Page A4

Death investigation in Falls Church

FCPD PHOTO

Vienna man charged with multiple sex offenses Fairfax County Police arrested David Andrew Jones, 43, of Vienna, on April 27, and charged him with three counts of aggravated sexual battery, animate object sexual penetration, forcible sodomy, and taking indecent liberties with a child by person in a custodial or supervisory relationship. The arrest came as a result of an investigation which began earlier in the day when school personnel reported an alleged inappropriate encounter involving a 14-year-old female victim and an adult male. Major Crimes Division detectives became involved and launched their investigation. Police say Jones’s initial connection began as a family friend to the victim. At some point, Jones acted in the capacity as a tutor/mentor in the premise as of a “life-coach.” Jones works as an employee for a federal government agency and is not known to work for any school or teach as a private tutor. Detectives say they would like to speak with anyone else who has information that may assist with this investigation or may have had similar encounters with Jones. Anyone with information is asked to contact Fairfax

Around 9:30 a.m. on May 1, a citizen reported a body in the creek near the 3000 block of Dashiell Road. Responding FCPD officers located a deceased white male who appeared to have been in the water for a period of time. The body was transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner for further examination. The medical examiner will determine cause and manner of death. Detectives have not yet identified the man and are continuing their investigation. The Fairfax County Police Department will provide further updates as soon as additional information becomes available. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

Fatal crash on I-495 At 1:35 a.m. on May 2, Virginia State Police said they received an emergency call about a wrong-way driver on I-495/I-95. As state police troopers immediately began to respond to the location, another call came in minutes later that the wrong-way vehicle had collided with another vehicle in the westbound lanes of I-495, east of Exit 174 for Eisenhower Avenue in Fairfax County. A 2012 Honda CR-V had been traveling east in the westbound lanes when it struck head-on a westbound 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. A Dodge Caravan also traveling west on I-495 was then damaged by debris from the first crash. The driver of the Honda,

Francisco Taveres, 37, of the Bronx, N.Y., died at the scene. He was the only occupant. The 74-year-old male driver and his 62-year-old female passenger, both of Hillside, N.J., were transported to Fairfax Inova Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. The driver of the 2005 Dodge Caravan, a 32-year-old male from Oxon Hill, Md., was also transported to Fairfax Inova Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Police say the cause of the crash remains under investigation.

River Drive murder still under investigation Fairfax County Police continue their investigation into the murder of Johan De Leede. On March 11, shortly after 1 a.m., officers responded to the 6000 block of River Drive for a report of an unresponsive man. They located Johan De Leede inside the residence suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. Officers rendered first aid until rescue transported him to a local hospital where he died a short time later. The preliminary investigation determined that De Leede was inside the residence when the shooting occurred. Police department personnel have increased their presence in and around the area since the time of the homicide. Police say they have engaged the community to encourage anyone with information that could be related to this incident to contact police. Actions that have been taken include: • Increase in police presence from patrol officers to

the Neighborhood Patrol Unit to the helicopter and other assets • Police conducted another extensive neighborhood canvass in late April, utilizing detectives from various units in the Major Crimes Division • Simultaneous to the canvass, a checkpoint was conducted in the area entering the Hallowing Point Community to reach out to motorists Detectives say they have collected a substantial amount of information through these efforts but have not named any suspects. Police encourage anyone with information to contact Fairfax County police at 703691-2131.

Animal Control gives guidelines and tips about wild baby animals Spring and summer are the times when wildlife rehabilitators, Animal Control Officers, and animal caretakers receive the most calls about baby wildlife. In Fairfax County, numerous young, wild animals are frequently found causing residents to seek help from wildlife professionals to treat or raise young wildlife that appear to be orphaned or abandoned. While these actions are well-intended, it is important to realize that they may be unnecessary and can be detrimental to the wildlife concerned. Survival rates of rehabilitated animals are often low and many do not survive their first year upon release back into the wild. A young animal’s best chance for survival is to receive natural care from its parents and remain wild. Common wildlife that are frequently found and “rescued” in Fairfax County in-

FCPD PHOTO clude squirrels, red foxes, raccoons, rabbits, skunks, opossums, and songbirds, among others. If you come across a baby animal and feel the need to intervene, we offer guidelines below to determine if the animal needs help. If an animal is displaying these signs, contact a licensed wildlife rehabilitator or Animal Control for further assistance and instruction. Signs that an animal needs help: Shows signs of flies, worms or maggots, which look like grains of rice; Was caught by a cat or dog; Is bleeding or shows signs of trauma, such as swelling; If the parents are known to be dead; Is very cold, thin or weak or; Is on the ground unable to move; Is not fully furred or feathered. Refrain from handling any baby wild animal unless it’s necessary to transport. Heavy gloves should be worn at all times if handling is necessary. Even small animals can cause injury. Keep your hands away from the animal’s mouth as there is always potential for rabies among wild mammals, even baby animals such as raccoons, foxes and skunks. It is also common for people to encounter seemingly orphaned or abandoned white-

tailed deer fawns, which are born between April and July. Female deer, called does, typically leave their fawns bedded down for extended periods of time while they are away foraging in order to reduce the chances of leading predators to their fawn’s location. Does will return several times each day to move and/or feed their young although this behavior often goes undetected by people. Often the best way to help is to simply give the fawn space and allow the mother to return to care for it. If you encounter a fawn, do not handle or disturb it to avoid causing unnecessary stress for the animal. Only if a fawn is showing obvious signs of injury or distress, such as wandering and crying incessantly, eyes swollen or has visible wounds, or if there is a dead doe nearby, should you seek help for the animal. More information provided by the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries can be found at: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/ news/release.asp?id=446. If you have questions about whether an animal is in need of help or to locate a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, you may contact the Virginia Wildlife Conflict Helpline toll-free at 1-855-571-9003 [Call: 1-855571-9003] . This helpline is a collaborative effort between the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the U.S. Department of Agriculture – Wildlife Services and is available Monday through Friday from 8:00am4:30pm. Fairfax County Animal Control Services can be reached through the Police non-emergency line at 703691-2131.

More than 20,000 Legos were donated to the Autism Society of Northern Virginia by local LearningRx brain training centers in Leesburg, Fairfax, Reston and Vienna. LearningRx directors committed to trekking a 10-foot “LEGO® Walk of Fire” in bare feet upon meeting their 20K Lego goal. “We’re grateful to the community to help us support autism awareness and surpassed our Lego goal,” said Maureen Loftus, executive director of LearningRx of Reston and Vienna. “Our Lego Walk of Fire was everything you’d expect…it was painful, but fun…the key is to walk quickly,” she said. ASNV provides LEGO®based activities at various campaigns, but currently have to rent LEGO®s for these events.

Establishing a long-term funding solution for Metro and finding alternatives to widening highways for relieving traffic congestion emerged as priorities for the Northern Virginia district at the board’s public comments meeting. Metro in particular has been a reoccurring issue for Northern Virginia and the rest of the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Repairs and improvements could cost millions, even billions of dollars, according to Layne, and that’s before taking into account planned expansions in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties and Maryland. Because Metro serves multiple jurisdictions, projects involving

Continued from Page A-1 “We were just trying to organize something a little different from your standard open house, trying to bring in as much exposure for this property as possible,” Alia Elnahas, one of the realtors who organized the event, said. “So, we thought it would be a nice, unique idea to bring in some other local, small businesses to join in with us so that they can get exposure as well.” A 7,600-square foot estate that covers five acres of woodland, the Rutledge Drive property belongs to White House floral designer Heather Cooper, who decorated the house herself. After initially planning an Apr. 19 launch in Boston, Michael and Kelly Pelletz decided to push SafeHer’s operating start date back to fall 2016 due to an unexpectedly high volume of demand. More than 7,000 women signed up to become SafeHer drivers just in the week prior to its initial planned launch, according to an article in the Boston College student newspaper The Heights, and Kelly Pelletz says that the prospective drivers range in age from 18 to 72. “We didn’t imagine it going viral and international, so we are taking a step back and fully putting all of our efforts into web design for the application,” Kelly said. Weichert contacted SafeHer to see if the company could travel down to Fairfax County to sponsor the Mother’s Day Market and provide rides a month ago.

the transit system require substantial coordination among local, state and federal authorities, and Virginia has yet to establish a designated revenue source. “Here at the Commonwealth, we certainly agree that we need to have a longer-term, more sustainable and steady source of revenue for Metro in the long term,” Department of Rail and Public Transportation director Jennifer Mitchell said. “[That could come] possibly through a dedicated funding source, but certainly through a longer term source of funding at the state level as well.” Dranesville Supervisor John Foust, one of the main Fairfax County representatives at the meeting, thanked the CTB for recommending funding for several of the county’s major projects. The recommended funding for Fairfax County projects includes $300 million for the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority’s (NVTA) Transform I-66 outside-the-beltway project, $32.8 million for widening Route 28

from the Prince William County line to Old Centreville Road, and approximately $119 million for both phases of the Route 7 widening. “The county appreciates the ongoing coordination and believes it’s important to continue our dialogue as the [I-66] project moves forward,” Foust said. Foust also expressed concern over the reduction in funding for the state’s revenue sharing program, through which VDOT matches local funds for highway construction or improvements, and over the new policy’s restriction on VDOT entering the rightof-way phase of projects until funding has been allocated by the SYIP. Layne noted that no final decision has been made regarding funds for the revenue sharing program, but many of the projects that counties have been funding through that program will now be covered by the CTB money designated for the state of good repair. “What we’re trying to do is to find that right amount of money

where we’re not getting rid of revenue sharing, but some of the things you were using it on are now going to be taken care of in HB2,” Layne said. Some attendees at the public comments meeting took issue with the weighting system that the CTB used for its scoring rubric. Douglas Stewart, the smart growth transportation chair for the Virginia chapter of the Sierra Club, argued that environmental impact should have a higher weighting, while NVTA CEO David Birtwhistle said that congestion mitigation should be weighted more. For the Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads construction districts, congestion mitigation receives a weighting of 45 percent, the highest of any considered factor. Since the HB2 process is completely new, Layne says that the CTB is wary of making changes for now, and he notes that the board spent 18 months developing the rubric, a process that included the solicitation of input

“We thought it was a great way to promote our business and talk to women one-on-one,” Kelly Pelletz said. “We have family in the area, and we thought it would be a great idea.” SafeHer was just one of several up-and-coming businesses with a presence at the Mother’s Day Market. Vendors included companies with a global reach like Pampered Chef, which offers kitchen tools and food products, and Norwex, which provides safe, eco-friendly home cleaning products. However, the bigger emphasis was on small, locally-based businesses like the floral shop GardeLina Flowers, which is located at the Dulles Town Center in Sterling. “Flowers are perfect for any occasion, specifically Mother’s Day,” Dania Shahzad said. “We can customize any bouquet, any arrangement that anybody wants for that special someone, whether it’s a mother, grandma, a husband, a shower, baby, anything.” Shahzad’s mother started GardeLina Flowers after discovering a talent for floral arrangements when she designed the flowers for her daughter’s wedding four years ago. She then took the company from a home business to its current location. GardeLina Flowers specializes in weddings and provides customized arrangements both in its store and for delivery to anywhere within a 20-mile radius of Sterling. “It’s a female-owned business, [which] helps us stand out, especially because with small

businesses, there are a lot of maledominated areas,” Shahzad said. “[My mother] runs and manages everything, and then also at the same time, makes these flowers for everybody.” Perhaps one of the more unique vendors at the market was Pure Romance, an in-home party company based in Oak Hill, Va., that sells “relationship-enhancing products,” including sex toys, cosmetics, and bath, body and massage items. The Pure Romance booth, which was set up in one of the estate’s bedrooms, offered samples of lubricants and pheromone creams to passersby. “When you’re in a monogamous relationship, you want to explore different things and keep yourself and your partner happy, because this isn’t just about your partner. It’s about you,” said Pure Romance advance consultant Alejandra Flores Trejo, who added that the company takes the time to educate clients on how to use its products. Along with providing exposure to vendors, the Mother’s Day Market gave local business

owners the opportunity to network and see what other people are doing. Nicole Buccio makes teething necklaces, shawls and other accessories for babies for her online Etsy store Buccio Baby Shop. In addition to making products herself, she is planning to launch a subscription box at the end of this summer that will deliver handmade products made by her and other local businesses to subscribers’ doorsteps every month. Buccio says that she wanted to be a vendor at the Mother’s Day Market because she thinks it’s important to support small businesses and to acknowledge the hard work and care that many business owners put into their products. “Supporting small businesses, it gives people that first step to be able to get out there,” Buccio said. “I think Mother’s Day is a perfect time to really celebrate all of those moms that work, both in their homes with their children as well as in their small businesses.”

from localities. “The main point is that we be consistent,” the transportation secretary said. “If you overweight one particular factor, you may not get the objective result you’re looking for.” The CTB will likely wait a couple of years before considering tweaks to the scoring rubric. The CTB board members present at the public comments meeting emphasized that HB2 isn’t prescriptive, so the board isn’t obligated to follow the project

rankings when allocating funding. However, if the board deviates from the rubric’s results, it must explain why in public. “This process, I believe, is much more transparent and accountable,” Layne said. “Now, when we go to these public hearings, their comments are very much actionable by the board. We can take that into account… They can actually give us comments that we can use to actually affect these projects.”

Campaign Finance – Is It Free Speech or a Political Travesty? THE LEGAL EDGE by PAUL

SAMAKOW

Here is an historical and current discussion of giving money to support your candidate. Oh, the tangled web we have woven. It would seem that the more money spent on, or by, or for a candidate for political office, the better would be that candidate’s chance of winning. Some candidates have “taken the high road” (a tacit and sometimes openly direct statement that political finance laws are broken) declaring that they are not taking contributions, instead funding their candidacies by themselves. In the case of a local Maryland candidate, David Trone, who ran for Congress in Maryland’s 8th District, his fortune was not enough. Trone spent over $12.4 million of his own money and lost to a three-term state senator, Jaime Raskin, who raised about $2 million. Trone’s spending was certainly considerable, but not even close to some others whose personal parlays came up short. Linda McMahon spent more than $48 million in her unsuccessful attempt to become a Senator in Connecticut in 2012. David Dewhurst also failed to reach the upper chamber as one of the two from Texas after plunking down almost $20 million that year. Meg Whitman spent more than $140 million of her personal

fortune trying to become California’s governor in 2010, only to lose to Jerry Brown. Donald Trump is advertising that he is using his own money in his bid for the oval office. Technically, he is making loans to his candidacy, allowing him to potentially recover that money later with campaign financing. It is clear that money is important in running a political candidacy, but as seen, the amount spent is not always determinative. Nonetheless, clearly, the amount of money can influence. Leastwise, why all the concern? For most candidates then, reliance on the money of others is seen as critical. In a perfect world, elections would be determined by a competition of ideas and all candidates would have the exact same amount of money at their disposal, from all quarters, to use to convey their message to the voters. In the real world of the United States of America, however, fundraising, wealth and access are more often the determining factors. Thus, since 1907, when questions about which corporations funded Theodore Roosevelt were raised, the Tillman Act became the first ever campaign finance law. It banned corporate contributions for national campaigns. Laws and court decisions followed, and today, two disparate camps provide continuing debate on several campaign finance issues. In one corner are those who

believe that campaign contributions should be a protected form of free speech, and they advocate for an unlimited ability to donate, and for “the right” to secret their identities in the process. In the other corner are those who are in favor of limits and disclosure, seeing donations as giving the wealthy undue political influence. The world of campaign finance evolved with the passage of the Federal Election Commission Act in 1971. The Act was re-written in 1974 after it was learned that Richard Nixon used corrupt funds in his re-election campaign. The Federal Election Commission was born and was tasked to regulate matters on the federal level. The new law put limits on individual contributions to candidates, contributions to PACs, total campaign expenditures and spending by individuals or groups to a specific candidate. Consistent with everything that has to do with money, the Act was challenged and the Supreme Court eventually addressed it. In 1976 the Court ruled in a landmark case, Buckley v. Valeo, that free speech allowed individuals to spend unlimited political money, that ads for or against a candidate had to be financed with regulated money, and that corporations, unions and individuals could contribute “soft” money (money given to a political party rather than directly to a candidate) to political parties in an effort to influence campaigns. Many companies then set up

PACs to donate. In 2002 the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act was passed. Wealthy Democratic donors had previously received special privileges and the Party had illegally accepted foreign money. Also called the McCain-Feingold Act, it stopped corporations and unions from donating directly to candidates. Next, the Supreme Court served up a true bombshell. In 2010, in a 5-4 split decision, in a case called Citizens United v. Federal Elections Commission, the Court ruled that corporations are people, and that the government cannot prohibit corporations and unions from spending money for political purposes. It gave the green light for corporations and unions to spend as much as they wanted on campaigns. This ruling led to the rise of super PACs, formally known as independentexpenditure only committees, these groups have no legal limit on the funds they can raise from various groups. The most recent Supreme Court ruling on campaign finance came in 2014, in another 5-4 decision. In McCutcheon v. FEC the Supremes struck down caps on what individuals can contribute to federal candidates in any two-year election cycle, saying that the caps restricted the democratic process and violated the First Amendment’s free speech rights. So, what is the geography of the law now? There are basically

two “groups” of donors, and each have rules by which they must abide. The rules address amounts of money that can be donated, by whom, and whether or not the donors must be identified. Group 1 – These must abide by federal limits on the amount of money they can receive and donate. 1. Candidate’s Committees 2. Parties and their subsidiaries – Republican National Committee or the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee 3. Traditional Political Action Committees (PACs) All of these must disclose all expenditures and the identity of donors. Group 2 – These groups can collect and spend in unlimited amounts as long as they do not coordinate with or contribute to political campaigns. 1. Super PACs – such as House Majority PAC, 2. 527’s – reference to federal tax code Super PACs and 527’s regularly disclose to the IRS all of their expenditures and the identity of donors. 3. The “501-c” groups: 501-c-4s – social welfare nonprofits such as NRA, Planned Parenthood 501-c-5s -labor unions, such as AFL-CIO 501-c-6s – trade and business associations, such as U.S. Chamber of Commerce

501-c’s disclose money expressly spent to defeat or elect a candidate, but are not required to disclose donors (“dark” money). Ingenuity has always been the adjective used to describe doing something a different way if the obvious way doesn’t work. So it is in the world of campaign finance. Want to donate money and keep your identity secret? (1)there are no caps on the amount someone can give a Super PAC, but that person’s name will be disclosed; (2)individuals can funnel contributions through Limited Liability Corporations (LLC’s) they can set up which can then be sent to Super PACs. LLC’s have fewer disclosure requirements and individuals can shield their names. (3)“Dark” money can also enter the system through the IRS rules governing 501-c contributions, if the organization’s main activity is “social welfare.” A penny for your thoughts? Paul A.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear editor,

Reader applauds federal commitment to computer science funding

As a long-time resident of the VA 10th District and member of the Northern Virginia technology sector, I applaud the news that a group of national business and education leaders, as well as 27 governors

(including our own Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe), recently urged Congress to provide federal funding for computer science education. Information technology is fundamental to all parts of our society and economy. It is essential to healthcare,

government, finance, and every American industry. Given its importance, computer science should be an essential part of K-12 school curriculum. Instead, only one out of four American K-12 schools offers classes in computer science.

Inadequate computer science education is already holding back our economy, and we are falling behind other nations that are committed to tech education. In addition, for young Americans who will be entering the workforce, computer science

education leads to the highestpaying, fasting-growing jobs in the U.S. economy. If a bipartisan group of governors and diverse business leaders can agree on this issue, then Congress can, too. All of Virginia’s members of Congress should unite to sup-

port federal funding specifically dedicated to computer science education.

Fears should not deter us from a meals tax

Dear Editor,

The last edition of the Fairfax County Times included a letter to the editor from Mr.Kyle McDaniel, Supervisor Pat Herrity’s former Policy Director, cautioning Fairfax County voters to consider the unintended consequences of a meals tax on wait staff. However, Mr. McDaniel’s concerns are overstated and misleading because he mistakenly relies on a single cherry-picked hypothetical rather than looking at a variety of possible situations and outcomes. I have run my own simulations. They show that when diners round to the nearest dollar or the nearest five dollars, a meals tax has virtually no impact on tips. When hypothetical diners choose to round up to the nearest ten

dollars, in the manner posited by Mr. McDaniel, a meals tax even results in slightly greater tips overall. Furthermore, there are plenty diners among us who habitually tip based on the post-tax price of a meal, which would increase how much we tip wait staff. Furthermore, Mr. McDaniel erroneously assumes most consumers round their total payment to the nearest ten dollars. However, the vast majority of consumers round tips to the nearest dollar or half-dollar, with only about one-quarter of consumers rounding the tip plus bill to a round dollar figure. Mr. McDaniel is correct that we should pay attention to the impact of a meals tax, not just on restaurateurs, but on wait staff as well. However, given the significant upside potential of raising revenues from a meals tax, and given

the downside of trying to raise those same revenues from property taxes or allowing schools and county services to deteriorate, we should not let flimsy hypotheticals scare us from voting for granting the Board of Supervisors with meals tax authority. Rather, we should empower the Board of Supervisors to levy a meals tax and charge them with continuously monitoring the restaurant industry for any significant negative impact warranting a partial or complete roll back of the meals tax. We have the opportunity to diversify our tax base in an intelligent, sustainable manner. We should not let unwarranted fears hold us back.

Memory Loss – A Normal Sign of Aging? NEURISHING NEWS by TERESA

MICHELI

Memory loss is one of the earliest symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Yet despite having some symptoms in common, dementia and what scientists call normal age-related memory loss have clear differences, both in the way symptoms might be experienced and the underlying biological changes within the brain. While dementia involves a broad loss of cognitive abilities, normal agerelated memory loss is primarily

a deficit of declarative memory (memory for facts and events). Forgetting where you put the car keys can happen to anyone, but forgetting what the car keys are used for would be cause for concern. Also important, all dementia is not caused by Alzheimer’s disease. Dementia is the umbrella term to describe conditions that affect intellectual and social functioning severely enough to interfere with daily activities. Alzheimer’s disease is ONE form of dementia, and probably the most common one. However, research studies have highlighted vascular

dementia, a type caused by restricted flood flow to the brain, as a growing problem. Some experts believe vascular dementia may account for as much as a third of all dementia, with Alzheimer’s plus vascular disease making up another third. Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia share several risk factors including high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol. Controlling these risk factors will greatly reduce the incidence of dementia. Keep Your Memory Sharp What may be construed as a faltering memory may in fact be a decline in the rate in which we

learn and store new information. Here are some tips to enhance learning and memory. Relax – tension and stress are associated with death of neurons within the memory centers of the brain, the hippocampus; managing stress improves memory Practice Mindfulness - if you want to recall something later, reduce distractions and pay attention; multitasking taxes the brain’s ability to focus and learn something new Organize – keep important items in a designated place that is visible and easily accessed Write It Down – carry a note-

pad and write down important things; the act of writing engages multiple areas of the brain to assist with remembering Repeat – Repetition improves recall Visualize – Creating a visual image of something you want to remember can improve recall by activating numerous brain regions Associate – new information can be encoded into the brain more strongly if associated with previously learned information, so try to related new information you want to remember with something you already know. There are many things that we

can do every day that may help us enjoy a higher quality of life as we age. They may even help to prevent cognitive decline. Next week we’ll discuss other strategies to assist us with staying sharp as we age.

Mason University, the American Academy of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (AAAAI) surveyed its members, primarily medical doctors, to investigate these topics. Not only did the majority of physician respondents (83%) indicate that climate change has relevance to direct patient care, but most (74%) also reported that climate change is already affecting their patients’ current health. When asked, “Do you think your patients are currently being affected by climate change, or might be affected in the next 10-20 years?” the most common responses were that their patients are being affected by air pollution-related increases in severity of chronic disease, such as asthma, COPD, pneumonia, cardiovascular disease, and increased care for allergic sensitization and symptoms of exposure to plants or mold (visits to the office/ER for asthma/allergic symptoms). Vulnerable populations reported to be the most at risk are PM children, the elderly, those with existing chronic diseases and co-

morbidities, and the poor. Many of the survey respondents provided relevant anecdotes about their patients who have experienced climate change related health impacts. An allergist based in the Washington, DC area allergist described, “A combination of high automobile pollution in Washington, DC metro area with heat, humidity and high pollen [that] produced not only nasal allergy and wheezing, but also very severe redness and itchy eye irritation in August.” This account is consistent with the medical and environmental health literature that demonstrates how our changing climate may be affecting human health in the US. A Call for Action! Despite imminent environmental health threats, most doctors believe the actions they take in their personal and professional lives can contribute to effective action on climate change. Many are looking toward environmental sustainability, including energy efficiency and clean renewable energy, such as wind and solar,

to power their workplaces and homes. With clean energy jobs on the rise, Virginia has one of the nation’s fastest-growing renewable energy economies and already employs more workers in the renewable energy sector than in coal. While everyone will benefit from reduced carbon pollution, children, the elderly, and people with respiratory illness will benefit the most. The American Lung Association’s 2015 State of the Air Report indicated that there are already 163,942 children and 557,674 adults with asthma here in the Commonwealth. These individuals are extremely vulnerable during high ozone days. If we do not do something soon to cut air pollution and slow the rate of climate change, health impacts on individuals and whole communities will significantly rise. The Environmental Protection Agency’s Clean Power Plan is a major step in the right direction. The Clean Power Plan is the first federal legislation cutting carbon emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants, which contribute

nearly one-third of all United State greenhouse gas pollution. States are given the flexibility to implement their own state plans to reach their personalized carbon reduction goals. Virginia must rely heavily on renewable energy and increased energy efficiency to reach its goals in order to protect not just the environment, but our children’s health and future. Research has already suggested that if the Clean Power Plan is successfully implemented in the United States, over 140,000 to 150,000 asthma attacks per year could help be prevented. The Clean Power Plan will cut carbon pollution emissions that cause climate change while also preventing asthma attacks and other respiratory illnesses, missed school and work days, and premature deaths while also reducing other dangerous air pollutants.

fell just short of the championship round but placed high enough to earn a bid to Denver. The team will have the opportunity to compete against some of the best lacrosse clubs nationally. “I couldn’t be prouder of these players. They worked tirelessly during our training sessions to prepare for the regional qualifier. Their hard work paid off and it’s really great to see one of our teams represent 3d Lacrosse on a national scale at a world-class event,” said 3d Mid-Atlantic Director of Operations, Spencer Ford. “Everyone in our community is rooting for the boys. This is a special team. We can’t wait to get out to the Mile High City and represent this July.” Players on the team come from more than 10 different cities and towns in northern Virginia including, Vienna, Clifton, Fairfax and Sterling. They will wear custom uniforms sublimated by Stylax, Co., 3d Lacrosse’s inhouse apparel manufacturer.

Hudgins

Continued from Page A-1 “It [has] caused me since a lot of anxiety and depression issues dealing with not knowing whether with all the work I’d put into running, if my body’s just going to decide one day to have a relapse.” However, those mental challenges haven’t deterred Hudgins from returning to running now that he’s currently symptom-free, though the threat of another relapse always exists. Just last year, on Aug. 7, 2015, Hudgins became the 449th American to run a mile in under four minutes when he finished the Sir Walter Miler in Raleigh, N.C., in 3:59.67, a feat for which he garnered some media attention, including an article by the magazine Runner’s World. He also got the attention of the VF, which contacted him for an interview. Founded in 1986, the Vasculitis Foundation provides support to patients and their families while also partnering with researchers to find a cause and cure for the disease. According to VF executive director Joyce Kullman, the foundation first heard about Hudgins’s struggles with vasculitis about two years ago when his coach shared the story. The Victory over Vasculitis campaign was born from that interview between Hudgins and the VF earlier this year. “Vasculitis is a very personal thing for a lot of people, and it’s hard for a lot of people to talk about it,” Hudgins said. “I realized that I have an opportunity to raise awareness with my platform as an athlete, and it’s a chance to inspire people to chase their dreams no matter the circumstances that life has dealt them.” Also known as VF Team Brandon, the campaign allows

members to follow Hudgins as he trains for the Olympic trials. He regularly sends them inspirational messages, challenging them to complete a physical activity or to raise awareness for vasculitis. Members are also given the goal of collectively running or walking 100,000 miles by the end of the year. In addition to raising general awareness about the disease, the online campaign helps connect people with vasculitis from around the world, creating a community for individuals who might otherwise feel isolated. Vasculitis affects people differently depending on the specific form they have. Symptoms can range from skin rashes to eyesight issues to strokes, which are prevalent in kinds of vasculitis that affect the central nervous system. “We encourage people to be really proactive when they’re experiencing symptoms…because vasculitis mimics so many other forms, other diseases,” Kullman said. “It’s important to work with a physician willing to think outside the box and actually think about, hey, maybe this patient has something more serious.” Because vasculitis can limit people’s mobility, not everyone can recover and bounce back from the disease to become an athlete like Hudgins. He says that it’s important for vasculitis patients to give themselves goals for each day, whether that goal is to run a mile or to simply get out of bed. “Find victories in whatever you can do that day,” Hudgins advises. “There were a lot of times when I wanted to give up, but you’ve just got to kind of keep getting up. Take another step or two, and then if you get knocked down again, you’ve got to keep getting back up, and before you know it, you’ll get used to getting back up and you can take more steps each time.”

MLS Laser Therapy is an effective, and very affordable non-invasive way to manage pain, inﬂammation, and a number of other health conditions, without the need for painful injections, medications or surgeries. Laser Therapy is a therapeutic treatment that uses light energy (photons) for tissue healing and pain reduction. The light energy penetrates deeply into damaged cells and stimulates cellular activity. As a result of exposure to the laser, the cells of tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves repair themselves. Light energy enters damaged cells and stimulates inter-cellular activity. This reduces pain in the area and speeds recovery of the damaged cells. Once the cells recover, the healing process is complete.

Thanks to a combination of Corey Glover’s unmistakable powerful voice and Vernon Reid’s mesmerizing guitar riffs, Living Colour has been many a rock fans’ favorite, since first hitting it big in 1988 with the release of “Vivid,” which produced hits such as “Cult of Personality” and “Glamour Boys.” “We were kind of weary of early success because that means you can become a flash in a pan, and to some degree, it was a self-fulfilling prophesy,” Glover said. “There are a number of people who know ‘Cult of Personality’ but don’t know ‘This is the Life’ or ‘Leave it Alone.’ It’s a difficult place to be in, and how we dealt with it was to keep moving and keep playing.” Over the ensuing years, the band (also consisting of bassist Doug Wimbish and drummer Will Calhoun) won a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Album in 1991, became headliners at the inaugural Lollapalooza and toured with both Guns N’ Roses and the Rolling Stones. By 1995, Glover and his bandmates couldn’t agree on what direction the band should go in, so they decided to part ways for a little bit. “We were tired and at that time we were working for diminished returns,” Glover said. “People would talk about us all day long but when no one shows up at the gig, what’s the point? We wanted to focus and keep moving, but we were tired. But the thing is, we never really stopped working together. There was always one or more of us working with the others at some point during those

years.” A surprising reunion saw the band play at CBGB’s at the end of 2000 and Living Colour would create a stir at Central Park’s Summerstage in 2001. “We were rested and ready. We were enjoying it and we played in the states and things were ok so we made a record, which didn’t sell that great,” Glover said. “But we told ourselves, ‘Let’s not get discouraged, let’s keep playing’ and that’s what was important to us.” And that’s what the band has continued to do. Later this year, the band will be releasing a new album, “Shade,” and is touring throughout the year, including an appearance at Celebrate Fairfax on June 12.

But lately, Glover has been finding some musical life outside of Living Colour, as a member of a super group calling themselves the New Stew, which pays respect to recordings that influenced the players and to re-imagine recordings that they feel should be heard and experienced in a live setting. The first homage honors the classic “Bill Withers—Live At Carnegie Hall” album, which was recorded live on October 6, 1972. “For me, this was a major part of my musical education growing up,” Glover said. “I thought this would be a great way to honor that memory, by finding a really good band to play it in its entirely and knock it out.” In addition to Glover on vocals, the New Stew consists of Roosevelt Collier (The Lee Boys) on lap steel/ pedal steel, Yonrico Scott (Derek Trucks Band, Royal Southern Brotherhood) on percussion, Dave Yoke (Susan Tedeschi Band, Dr. John, Scrapomatic) on guitar, Jared Stone (Stone’s Stew) on drums, and

Matt Slocum (Oteil and the Peacemakers) on piano. “Bill Withers wasn’t a typical musician for the time—he was ahead of his time—a singer/songwriter a la Harry Chapin but in an R&B world,” Glover said. “He was the everyman singer/songwriter but at the same time showed musicianship that was genius.” The New Stew will be playing one of its first live performances together at the Hamilton on May 10. The songs on the night will include Withers’ classics such as “Ain’t No Sunshine,” “Lean on Me” and “Use Me.” “This was a seminal moment for Bill Withers. This is an intimate player playing in a very large room, but he still managed to make it as intimate as possible and as beautiful as he could, and that to me was always so moving about it,” Glover said. “We’re playing the album in its entirety, and hoping to create some of that same intimacy. The interpretations are great. As good as it is, we can take the music to another place.”

The cover of Matthew Berry’s book looking into the world of fantasy sports.

■ ESPN fantasy football analyst Matthew Berry will be at the Alden to offer tips and advice By Keith Loria Special to the Times Last week the NFL had its annual draft and teams are already gearing up for the new season—and not just the NFL teams, but the owners of fantasy football teams in leagues across the country. If you’re a fantasy player looking to get some tips and advice from an expert, head to the Alden at the

McLean Community Center on May 10, as Matthew Berry, ESPN fantasy sports analyst and author of “Fantasy Life: The Outrageous, Uplifting, and Heartbreaking World of Fantasy Sports from the Guy Who’s Lived It,” will be on hand for a free discussion.” The event is co-sponsored by the Fairfax County Public Library and McLean Community Center. “I find that these things are open ended and lots of fun,” Berry said. “I have some great stores from my book, plus some videos and photos that aren’t in the book that are absolutely fantastic.” Some topics he’ll talk about are the upcoming NFL season, the recent NFL draft, and some sleepers and busts that fantasy players should keep an eye on for the 2016 season.

“I find that when I do these events that people have a lot of questions prepared so we have a great Q&A and I think people enjoy themselves a great deal,” Berry said. “You’ll hear some funny stories and get some advice for your fantasy team.” Having lived in Virginia up until he was 12, Berry is a Redskins fan and he looks forward to talking to fellow Washington fans and giving advice about the upcoming season. His love of fantasy sports is rooted in the camaraderie, trash talk with friends and just the sheer competition of it all. “I’ll always watch the Redskins but what’s great about fantasy football is if there’s some dog of a game on—like Cleveland vs. the Titans— who cares? Well I care because I have Delanie Walker on my team,” he said. “Suddenly, just about every game is important.” Berry’s joined his first fantasy league in 1984 at the young age of 14—before the Internet when you had to keep stats by hand and information was tough to come by. “I was taking private tennis lessons and my tennis coach was talking to a guy in this weird language, which sounded vaguely familiar, and I realized they were talking about Rotisserie Baseball,” he said. “A book had just been published by Daniel Okun, who is considered the founding father of fantasy baseball, and I read it and loved it and thought it was super cool, and so did these guys.” And even though Berry was much younger than the others in the league, they needed a 10th team, and asked him to be a part of it. That league—the Fat Dog Rotisserie League of College Station Texas—still exists today. “We just had our 33rd annual Fat Dog draft, with six of the original 10 members in attendance,” he said. “I went from a kid playing fantasy to the face of fantasy football for the largest sports media company in the world.” Berry never planned to become the fantasy guru he is today. He went to Syracuse University and studied

screenwriting, and eventually found his way to Hollywood writing for “Married With Children.” “In 1999 I was working in Hollywood and there was a website called Rotoworld advertising for writers, so I emailed them and told them fantasy sports is my passion and I thought it would be really fun to do a column on the side,” he said. “They wrote me back and said they looked me up, ‘Married With Children’ is their favorite show, and I was hired.” After four and a half years writing for Rotoworld, Berry had built up such a following that he started his own website and eventually transitioned to radio and television. He worked for ESPN radio in L.A., appeared on the sports show “Cold Pizza,” wrote a column for ESPN Magazine, and eventually co-hosted a fantasy football show with Ron Jaworski. “ESPN liked what I was doing and felt fantasy football was big enough that they needed a Mel Kiper, Jr. of fantasy football, so they bought my website, moved me to Connecticut and made me the guy,” he said. “That was late 2006 and I’ve been here ever since.” For those coming out to the talk, Berry said he’s happy to sign any league trophy or poster, even if it’s a last place punishment prize. He looks forward to meeting fellow fantasy fans and talking about the sport he loves. The event is free but registration is recommended. Berry’s book will also be available for purchase.

Something brewing in Vienna

■ The Saw Doctors’ Irish duo of Leo Moran and Davy Carton go acoustic at Jammin’ Java By Keith Loria Special to the Times

It was 30 years ago that Ireland rockers The Saw Doctors charted its first No. 1 song with “I Useta Lover” and the tune stayed in the position for ninestraight weeks and still holds the distinction of being the country’s all-time best-selling single. Led by founders Davy Carton on vocals and Leo Moran on guitar, the band has toured extensively throughout Ireland and the States over the decades. “It’s a lovely lifestyle that we have and we really enjoy it,” Moran said. “It’s really a privilege to get up in these incredible venues and play to full crowds. We just strap on the guitars and play these songs and it’s great to be able to make a living out of something that would be a hobby anyway.” The Galway-based band has totaled 18 Top 30 singles in Ireland, including three number ones, and established a cult following to rival any band. “Born into a repressed, catholic, conservative, smalltown, agrarian and show band infested society, we’re trying to

preserve the positive elements of our background and marry them to the sounds which have culturally invaded our milieu through TV, radio, 45’s, fast-food restaurants, 24 hour petrol stations and electric blankets,” Moran said. “I love the reward of seeing people enjoying themselves.” The band has been on hiatus for about six months, but currently, Moran and Carton are playing select venues in the U.S., road-testing some new songs that they wrote in their hometown Tuam, Co. Galway over the past four months. One of those stops finds them at Jammin’ Java on May 12. “We’re putting the band back together in October so we just wanted to put together some stuff and get back on the road, and we’ll be playing an acoustic set,” Moran said. “We’re doing different arrangements and new ways of playing the songs so when we go back to the band, we have something fresh and new and interesting for both ourselves and the audience.” One of his favorite things about playing the acoustic shows is the intimacy and closeness to the audience. “When you play these smaller shows, you have more time to talk to the audience and communicate with them and the songs get sucked down to their skeletons and they can be rebuilt with different parts,” he said. “Its nice to approach the songs from a

different angle and build them up from somewhere else. We like to leave room for as much improvisation as possible.” The Saw Doctors will record some of its new tunes in June and ideally will have a new album by the end of 2016. In Ireland, the sense of community and bond to the band that The Saw Doctors’ fans have gets them compared to Dead Heads regularly by music critics and audiences alike. “People really love to bring their friends to a show and then the next time those friends bring their friends,” Moran said. “That’s how our audience has built up and I imagine maybe that’s like the Grateful Dead.” A concert by The Saw Doctors isn’t just watching a band play, Moran wants everyone involved so the entire audience leaves with the sense that they had a good night out. It’s that same feeling he has himself— whether playing just as the duo or with the whole band. “It’s a great privilege to have had such a wonderful lifestyle and so much fun for so long,” he said. “It’s just like if you were playing sports, you always want to win the next game. We’re just hoping that when we get back, we just want it to be the best it can be every night. That’s what we’re aiming for. I don’t like resting on our laurels, it’s really about what we’re going to do next.”

PHOTO COURTESY WITENBERG CHURCH

The Church Martin Luther made famous in 1517.

■ Choir from Wittenberg Church to perform in Herndon By Times Staff 2017 will mark the 500th anniversary of the start of the Protestant Reformation. On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church, or Schlosskirche, of Wittenberg beginning a religious transformation that changed the world. Preparations for this event include a concert tour in the United States by the choir from that historic church. That choir will perform on May 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Herndon. Directed by Thomas Herzer, the 43-member touring choir is made up of singers from all walks of life. The group has performed in Europe – Germany, Belarus, Denmark and Sweden – as well as in the U.S. “Choirs and musical groups are a very important outreach from the churches into society,

especially in East Germany where only 15 percent of the population belong to any church,” Herzer said. The choir’s repertoire includes traditional American spirituals such as “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” as well as folk songs from other traditions: “Listen, God is Calling” (Tanzania), “Freedom is Coming” (South Africa) and “The Irish Blessing” set to music. Selections will include both English and German songs. After the choir’s presentation and a brief intermission Herzer, an internationally-renowned organist, will entertain the audience with a concert on Good Shepherd’s 1872-pipe organ. He will play compositions by Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn as well as a piece written by Carl Stein, organist at the Castle Church from 1824 to 1902. The concert is free to the public. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is located at 1133 Reston Avenue in Herndon. For additional information, visit the church’s web site at www.gslcva.org

Attic’s conversion into spa bath is national interior design winner ■ Under the narrow pitched roof of 60 year old Fort Hunt home, remodeler Michael Nash created a space of unexpected functionality, beauty By John Byrd Special to the Times Converting of an unpromising attic into a spa bath complete with walk-in shower, soaking tub and customized changing area has garnered a Chrysalis award for Michael Nash Design Build and Homes. The winning entry in the “interiors over $100,000.00” category was executed in a 60-year old split-foyer home in the Fort Hunt section of Alexandria. The Chrysalis competition—which considers entries from all over the US—is sponsored annually by Qualified Remodeler Magazine and Kitchen and Bath Design News. In accepting the honor, president and CEO of the firm, Sonny Nazemian, was quick to acknowledge his company’s high-performance design team, which grappled with challenges other contractors had dismissed as infeasible. “An attic conversion is a real sign of our times,” Nazemian said. “We’re seeing more homeowners looking for ways to add usable living space while staying within their home’s existing walls. Finding ways to mainstream those parts of the house that were originally seen as out of bounds is one of the factors

The skillful transformation of an unfinished attic into a luxury bath has been honored with a Chrysalis award, naming it the nation’s best interior design solution over $100,000,00. The Chrysalis is sponsored annually by Qualified Remodeler Magazine. The makeover in a 60-year old Fort Hunt home entailed reinforcing floor joists and routing pipes from the basement level.

that really motivates our problemsolving approach.” “The challenge,” he added “is to enhance everyday living while keeping all other systems optimized. This is especially problematic in older homes.” Since March, the innovative attic solution has also won a regional (10 state) “Contractor of the Year” award from the National Association of the Remodeling Industry (NARI); it was previously ranked as a topof-category “Grand winner” in the NARI metro D.C. chapter’s

annual competition. Looking back, the makeover in the home of Andrew and Meghan Matteson began to take shape as a “possibility” shortly after the couple moved in with two small children three years ago. “We really liked the neighborhood. But the house had limitations we hoped to overcome through remodeling,” Meghan Matteson recalled. “Frankly, we weren’t at all sure what was feasible.” With three small bedrooms

and two small baths on the second floor, the couple had identified a finished top level room as a more congenial location for a master bedroom; the core problem: the home’s primary full bath would remain half flight down from the new sleeping quarters. An unfinished attic five steps further up from the top room offered some consideration as the footprint for a new master bath. However, most of floor space was taken up by an attic fan and flue pipes. The couple resolved, none-

theless, to make inquiries. “We spoke to several contractors...but didn’t hear ideas that gave us confidence,” Meghan recalled. “We had a large list of priorities, but the attic wasn’t linked-in to a lot of necessary functional operations of the house.” “There were several glaring problems upfront,” Nazemian acknowledged. “The existing floor joists were too small to hold any additional weight. The pipe linkages needed for water and waste were all the way down in the basement. There was no natural

light, no heat source. Flue pipes occupied a lot of the mid room.” On the other hand, 700 square feet just at the top of the stair offered a perfect spot for a wardrobe and changing area that would free-up square footage in the sleeping quarters. Laying out the new floor plan sequentially, the attic’s remaining 176 by 106 feet might just suit for a comfortable spa bathroom—if the plumbing problem could be solved. See HOMES PAGE B-6

Continued from Page B-5 “Attics are one of the frontiers in remodeling now,” Nazemian said. “A soaking tub under an eave can tuck neatly into a place that doesn’t require much head room. Subway tiles keep a small space looking bright and fresh. Low walls that make intelligent used of recessed builtins may be incorporated into an architecturally- compelling interior statement.” But, from the start, two issues begged closer inspection: the capacity of existing floor joists to bear the weight of a generously “loaded” spa bath; and the feasibility of routing water and sewage pipes to the targeted site. On the first point: the attic had never been conceived as living space. The floor joists were undersized. To move around, one had to tip-toe gingerly; a heavy tub or shower was unthinkable. “Our starting point was calculating new load bearing requirements based on the Matteson’s preferences for tub and showers; then we removed the floorboards and introduced ‘sister’ joists to the existing system,” Nazemian explained. “This more than tripled the room’s weightbearing capacity, and created a lot of luxury purchase options.” Linkage to water and sewer

mains was another matter, Nazemian recalled: “Turns out we had to go all the way to the basement to tap into the main sewage line. All the plumbing and electrical were routed within existing perimeter walls. If there’s a place where remodeling must perform a kind of artful magic, it’s concealing infrastructure in ways that can’t be detected by the naked eye.” The resulting space plan called for two main chambers organized sequentially. 66 square feet at the top of the stair was designed for his and her wardrobe needs. There are custom-sized shelves for sweaters, shoes, personal items. Racks for coats and trousers. Better yet, it’s a well-lit space with ample room to move around. Continuing on, the master bath now has plenty natural light courtesy of a new windowed gable Nazemian introduced on the north side of the house. Since this was the point where power lines connected to the house, the transition to the new design entailed considerable interface with the electric company. In maximizing the spatial utility of the master bath’s perimeter, Nazemian flattened off the ceiling in the middle of the room at a height of just over 7 feet, and then shelled-in a beveled slope that meets the walls where they

are again completely vertical. The design makes the most of available headroom, creating an appropriate recess for the vanities and wall mirrors. The “wood look” long-plank flooring in conjunction with the beige wall coloring further softens the room’s angularity. The floor covering also conceals a “radiant” system that makes it easy to adjust room temperatures. A large walk-in shower with glass partitions and Riverstone flooring wrapped in bright white subway tiling adds to the sense of spaciousness. Each partner has their own recessed cubby for toiletries. His and Her vanities joined by a make-up table were designed specifically to accommodate daily needs. When the busy family schedule allows a little more indulgence, there’s the soaking tub. “You can’t measure the improvements that have come from this remodeling in square footage,” Meghan Matteson said. “Functionally, it’s a whole new level of the house that gives the whole family a lot more usable room. The life enhancement value has been enormous.” For Information: 703/6419800 or MichaelNashKitchens. com

Hounds. A glorious word. Much like dog, only better. Put them together, pawtastic! In the past, hound dogs were bred for hunting. Barkingly, they can be great family pets too. Me, for example, I am a Plott Hound and was bred for hunting black bear and wild boar. I am fierce with my nose to the scent when I am on the hunt or need to do my job. But the rest of the time, I act better than most humans! In the home, around other humans, and even mini-humans, hounds make awesome pets. They are loyal, loving, protective, and a barkingly big batch of great traits for a family, but understanding their hunting traits and desires adds to the fun of companionship. As my human learned about my Plottness, as he puts it, he adapted our walks to allow more time for me to stop and sniff all the pawsome scents. He learned my stops are not meant to be contrary or stubborn, at least not always, but is a natural talent of mine.

Miss Jess Anyway you go about it, the commonality among hounds is they are intelligent, loving, and enjoy the company of humans. My friend Miss. J from Operation Paws for Homes stopped by this week with three dogs she would like you to meet. They are all in the hounds category of dogs as spoken by the American Kennel Club. Meet Miss Jess! She’s elegant, tall and sweet, a true southern lady! I think she’s a Treeing Walker Coonhound mix. So far, I haven’t seen her walk up or on any trees but am watching her closely! Miss Jess is 1.5 years old and weighs about 60 pounds.

She is calm and well mannered, a most beautiful young lady for which you would be proud to have in your home. She likes to watch football games and go on walks or hikes. Miss Jess gets along great with other dogs and humans. Maxton is a fun character

Maxton

with a happy-go-lucky nature; he’s fun to be around. I’m guessing he is a Beagle Hound mix. At 1 year old and 30 pounds he is fully grown! One look at his face will make you want to take him home-unless you have a cat. His hound instincts kick in so he wouldn’t be a good fit for a home with felines! At first, Maxton is a bit shy, but he does warm up quickly to humans and other dogs! A spunky and fun character, Maxton will make a great addition to a family that loves to play and is willing to continue his training. My next friend is Kalei! She is looking for snuggling, walking or running adventures with her human! She is around 1 year old, is 34 pounds and a Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull mix! After FHO surgery on her rear leg in January, she has recovered great and is now up to a two mile jog three to four times a week and walking on the other days. Kalei loves to play with dogs of all sizes and give plenty of kisses to all the humans in her life. Since she’s a puppy, Kalei needs a human with patience,

Alexandria Symphony Orchestra closes season

■ The ASO to honor Kim Allen Kluge as Maestro Emeritus By Times Staff The ASO presents The Transformative, an exciting one-night-only season finale on Saturday, May 7 at 8 p.m. at the Rachel M. Schlesinger Concert Hall and Arts Center. Continuing with the 2015-2016 season theme “Symphony & Cinema,” the concert will feature the music

of American composers and highlight some of the musical styles that form the country’s rich and diverse cultural tapestry. The Transformative features the highly-anticipated world premiere of American Concerto for Piano & Orchestra composed by ASO’s own Maestro Kim Allen Kluge and his wife Kathryn Vassar Kluge. The composition, written by this husband and wife team, will debut with pianist Thomas Pandolfi, with whom they consulted through-

out the project. “America is the great melting pot of musical styles. In the American Concerto, you will hear folk-like melodies, jazz-tinged echoes and nods to the American Songbook,” Maestro Kluge said. “The piece is inspired by the ideals of freedom and its need to be constantly re-birthed. Ultimately, ‘American’ means something unique to each of us; listeners have responded with intensely personal and elaborate reflections upon first hearing the piece.”

Returning to the ASO stage after his stunning performance of Lizst’s “Piano Concerto No. 1” last April, Thomas Pandolfi brings his rare blend of classical technique and distinctly American style to the premiere. “Kim and Kathryn have composed a piece that embraces the sumptuous pianism

of the great virtuoso piano concerti of the past, coupled with a nod to the great American songbook,” Pandolfi commented. “It’s all wrapped in a style that is uniquely their own, conveyed with the kind of writing that I’m intrigued and honored to perform as a pianist.” The ASO’s season finale

program also features excerpts from Copland’s “Rodeo,” Gershwin’s “American in Paris” and Hans Zimmer’s score to “The Dark Knight.” All these pieces of iconic American music have been chosen by Maestro Kluge to highlight composers who bridged musical styles and genres.
