CANDIDATE BIOGRAPHIES FOR THE 2015 STONE RIDGE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ELECTIONLeslie Lewis

My name is Leslie Lewis and I moved to Stone Ridge in 2004. It’s a great neighborhood, one I feel personally invested in. I was part of the landscape team that helped develop and maintain the extensive and attractive landscape in Stone Ridge since the founding of the community.

My background includes working with developers, builders, associations and residents in large scale communities and commercial properties. For the last 20 years, I’ve worked extensively with property management companies and associations with budgeting, future planning and contract administration.

Returning to my chosen career path earlier this year, I joined a locally owned landscape firm as a project manager and certified arborist.

In June 2014 I was appointed to the Board of Directors to fill a vacancy created by a director who had stepped down due to an increased work commitment. Last year I was elected to a one-year term and what a busy year this has been! I have thoroughly enjoyed the time I have spent serving on the Board and look forward to the possibility of being elected for another term. The opportunity to utilize my skill set for the betterment of the Association and our community is very rewarding.

In my free time, I am involved with local dog rescue groups, enjoy hiking with my two rescued dogs, and particularly enjoy the trails and sidewalks here in Stone Ridge. The path around the large pond is one of my favorite evening walks with the dogs. We enjoy all of the natural areas that Stone Ridge has to offer!

Winter weather may seem like a long way away, however Stone Ridge residents should be as prepared as possible so when the snow falls, you know where to call for plowing information.

The Community has several different snow plowing arrangements, depending on the location of your street.

The Nettle Mill Clubhouse and sections 1, 2, 3, 13, 14, 36, 43, 44, 45 46, 47A, 47B, 48, 49, 50, Pyramid Alley and Full Sail Alley are plowed by Tri Star Development. If you have questions or concerns, please contact the Association office at 703-327-5179.

Sections 4, 9, 10, 11, 12, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, Destiny Drive, Stone Springs Blvd., Tall Cedars Pkwy., Millstream Dr., Stone Carver Dr., Northstar Blvd., Mineral Springs Circle, and Greenstone Dr. are plowed by VDOT, 703-327-6925. b

Van Metre sections Village Square, Village Run, Marwood, Town Center Crossing, Cedarwood, Southpoint Dr., and Sacred Mountain Pl. are plowed by Tri-Star. Please contact Van Metre Customer Care at 703-348-5806.

CONDOS: Residents of Mercer Park, Stone Springs, Amber Springs, and Summerwalk Condominiums with snow plowing questions or concerns should contact FirstService Residential Management at 703-385-1133. Centre Park Condominium residents should contact SFMC, 703-392-6006.

PARKING: When snow is headed our way, please park your car in your driveway or in a designated parking space. Cars parked on the street make the job much more difficult for the snow plows…and you may have to deal with the task of digging your car out if it’s plowed in.

DRIVEWAYS: When you shovel your driveway, please toss the snow back into your yard – not in the street. Less snow helps the plows clear the streets more efficiently.

SIDEWALKS: Homeowners are responsible for clearing the sidewalk in front of their homes.

CHIRON CARES FALLING, BALANCE AND PHYSICAL THERAPY

Fall is in the air. The leaves have turned, the air is getting crisper, the holidays are quickly approaching and yes, the risk of falling is increasing as we walk on wet leaves and ice. Your Chiron Physical Therapy family wants this fall and winter season to be a safe one for you and especially for our elder neighbors.

Falling is a common problem amongst the elderly, and it can result in serious injury. It is estimated that one in every three adults aged 65 and older suffer from a fall every year. Fall related injuries range from hip fractures to head trauma. After a fall, patients experience a significant loss of confidence and a fear of falling when walking unaided. Recovery from a fall involves physical as well as psychological elements. It is important for the patient to seek physical therapy for treatment and fall prevention.

WHY DO ELDERLY INDIVIDUALS FALL?

Visual problems, muscle weakness and low blood pressure can cause a loss of balance, which leads to a fall. Other reasons include neurological conditions such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and other conditions affecting the nerves. Occasionally, middle ear problems (vestibular problems) can occur and balance can be affected. The good news is falls can be largely prevented with the right precautions.

CAN YOUR BODY ACT AS RESISTANCE?

Your Chiron physical therapist is trained to help individuals improve balance between muscle groups and increase joint stability. Our physical therapist will begin with a detailed neuromuscular assessment to identify muscle imbalances and integrity of the nervous system. We will conduct different tests to determine your sense of balance as you sit, stand and walk. The speed and the stability with which you walk are also evaluated. This becomes the foundation for a balance program, in which you can use your own bodyweight as a source of resistance.

Balance exercises such as single-leg standing under the supervision of a physical therapist are beneficial. Different activities to improve balance while walking and changing positions and direction train the body to prevent falls. The objective is to be able to handle different tasks at the same time while staying in an upright position.

MULTIPLE BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

Physical therapy is an important aspect of fall treatment and prevention. We will:

■ assess your footwear

■ discuss the layout / safety of your home to eliminate factors that could result in an inadvertent fall;

■ use several techniques including manual therapy and core stabilization exercises to improve balance and stability;

■ use your own bodyweight as a source of resistance for your muscles;

■ challenge your sense of balance in a controlled environment by shifting your center of gravity. This activates important muscle groups in the neck, trunk, abdomen and hip muscles.

As the body adapts to these exercises over a period of time, the risk for falls reduces. Our physical therapists will also provide you with a simple exercise program that you can do at home, without the need for any equipment or devices.

Your Chiron family wants you to remain upright this fall season. And if you do fall, know we are extending our hands to help you up.

Chiron Physical Therapy is committed to making people feel better and our commitment extends beyond our clinic walls and into supporting organizations making a difference in our community. When you seek treatment in our clinic at any time of the year and reference Etched in Stone as how you heard about us, we make a donation to the StoneRidge 5k Race for Education fund. To schedule your appointment, call us at 703-372-4445 or visit us online at www.chironpt.com.

‘Tis the season for friends, family and holiday feasts—but also for possible distress for our animal companions. Pets won’t be so thankful if they munch on undercooked turkey or a pet-unfriendly floral arrangement, or if they stumble upon an unattended alcoholic drink.

Check out the following tips from ASPCA experts for a fulfilling Thanksgiving that your pets can enjoy, too.

TALKIN’ TURKEY If you decide to feed your pet a little nibble of turkey, make sure it’s boneless and well-cooked. Don’t offer her raw or undercooked turkey, which may contain salmonella bacteria.

Sage Advice Sage can make your Thanksgiving stuffing taste delish, but it and many other herbs contain essential oils and resins that can cause gastrointestinal upset and central nervous system depression to pets if eaten in large quantities. Cats are especially sensitive to the effects of certain essential oils.

No Bread Dough Don’t spoil your pet’s holiday by giving him raw bread dough. According to ASPCA experts, when raw bread dough is ingested, an animal’s body heat causes the dough to rise in his stomach. As it expands, the pet may experience vomiting, severe abdominal pain and bloating, which could become a life-threatening emergency, requiring surgery.

Don’t Let Them Eat Cake If you’re baking up Thanksgiving cakes, be sure your pets keep their noses out of the batter, especially if it includes raw eggs—they could contain salmonella bacteria that may lead to food poisoning.

For more information: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/thanksgiving-safety-tips

Too Much of a Good Thing A few small boneless pieces of cooked turkey, a taste of mashed potato or even a lick of pumpkin pie shouldn’t pose a problem. However, don’t allow your pets to overindulge, as they could wind up with a case of stomach upset, diarrhea or even worse—an inflammatory condition of the pancreas known as pancreatitis. In fact, it’s best to keep pets on their regular diets during the holidays.

A Feast Fit for a Kong While the humans are chowing down, give your cat and dog their own little feast. Offer them Nylabones or made-for-pet chew bones. Or stuff their usual dinner—perhaps with a few added tidbits of turkey, vegetables (try sweet potato or green beans) and dribbles of gravy—inside a Kong toy. They’ll be happily occupied for awhile, working hard to extract their dinner from the toy.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOM OF A STROKE

You’re walking in the park with a friend who suddenly seems confused or has difficulty speaking. Do you know what to do?

These symptoms could be signs of a stroke. Call 911 immediately.

A stroke occurs when oxygen-rich blood flowing to the brain becomes blocked because of a blood clot or blood vessel leak. It is extremely important to get medical treatment as soon as possible, because brain cells start to die within minutes of not receiving oxygen. Americans have approximately 800,000 strokes per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Stroke is the fifth leading cause of death in America and a leading cause of adult disability in the United States.

How can you recognize signs of a stroke? Look for a sudden onset of any of the following symptoms:

■ numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg – especially on just one side of the body

■ confusion or difficulty speaking

■ difficulty seeing

■ trouble walking, lack of coordination or dizziness

■ severe headache

Call 911 immediately if you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, even if they start and then stop. The emergency medical services team can start treatment in the ambulance, take the patient to the nearest stroke hospital and call ahead, so a stroke team is waiting. The quicker the treatment starts, the better the person’s outcome, so note the time when symptoms begin.

The word FAST can help you remember the signs of stroke – Face drooping? Arm weakness? Speech difficulty? Time to call 911.

There are different types of strokes. Most are caused by a clot obstructing blood flow to the brain, called an ischemic stroke. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in the brain ruptures or leaks, increasing pressure in the brain. A mini stroke, or transient ischemic attack (TIA) is caused by a temporary clot; symptoms usually resolve within five minutes.

Some people think if stroke symptoms go away that they don’t need to be checked out. That is not true – they could have had a mini stroke and should be examined quickly. Mini strokes are warnings of a future, larger stroke and should still be treated as a medical emergency.

You may be at greater risk for stroke if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes or sickle cell disease; if you are obese and don’t exercise; if you smoke cigarettes or drink large amounts of alcohol; or if you have a family history of stroke. African-Americans are at twice the risk as Caucasians.

The best measures to prevent stroke involve making healthy lifestyle choices: eat a healthy diet, maintain a healthy weight, exercise, cut smoking and limit alcohol use. If you have heart disease, high blood pressure or high cholesterol, or diabetes, follow your health care provider’s instructions to manage your condition.

Fiscal Year 2015 came to a close at the end of June and the Board of Supervisors was recently provided with an annual report from the Department of Economic Development. I have made it a habit to share the end of year data with you through regular updates on our effort to grow Loudoun’s commercial

tax base. This year we really hit it out of the park with our best year on record.

Through my role as Chairman of the Board’s Economic Development Committee, I spend a great deal of my time working on and overseeing the County’s efforts in this area. Dulles South is seeing much of the results of those efforts in the opening of Dulles Landing, medical office development around the soon to open StoneSprings Hospital, the recently announced Avonlea Town Center, and a renewed interest in completing the long dormant hotel site at East Gate.

The County was directly involved in 57 new businesses and expansions, accounting for $1.3 billion in new investment. This represents a 459 percent increase over last year! It is the largest investment recorded since the County began tracking this metric. These companies added or retained 3,400 jobs and 3.7 million square feet of commercial real estate. Building permits for retail development increased 85% and office development (still a very difficult market) increased by 52% over last year.

In addition, 143 projects were part of our Fast Track and ombudsman programs, representing a 78% increase over last year. These programs were created by the Board shortly after taking office in 2012 and are designed to help projects get through the application and review process faster so they can get moving on actual construction. The Avonlea Town Center project utilized this program, helping them to move forward quicker with announcing their anchor tenant and recruiting more retailers.

This year, we had 26 Loudoun companies that were named to the Inc. Magazine 1,000 Fastest Growing Companies list, and with over 600 startups in the last full calendar year, we expect to see that number continue to grow. Our presence on this list is up 18% over last year and 85% over 2013.

New this year, Loudoun was named #1 in investment by New York based Smart Asset. They factored in each area’s growth in business establishments, GDP, new building permits and municipal bond investment. Loudoun ranked #1

in Virginia, meaning that there has been more investment here than any other county in the Commonwealth.

The Board approved a farm brewery ordinance earlier this year, paving the way for 8 farm breweries to move forward. Loudoun is the #1 craft beverage producer in Virginia with 43 wineries and 14 breweries. I have also just introduced an item that begins the process of adding craft beverage production as a use in the Zoning Ordinance and look at how that could expand into our more populated commercial areas on the eastern end of the County.

Why is economic development in Loudoun County so important? Our unemployment rate remains very low—under 4 percent—but the majority of our citizens don’t work here. As a result, the County pays the costs of providing services such as public safety and education to our residents, but without the benefit of gaining revenue from their employment. Commercial development pays in taxes more than it costs, unlike residential, creating a net positive for the County and helping to offset the costs of residential development. Also, by creating more jobs closer to home, residents can spend less time commuting and enjoy a better quality of life. It’s a win-win for everyone.

That is why, upon taking office in 2012, the Board made the decision to invest in creating and maintaining an aggressive Department of Economic Development and we are seeing explosive results. The Department is led by Director Buddy Rizer and they are charged with going out and recruiting new businesses by giving our County exposure in the business community and keeping or expanding our existing businesses by maintaining a relationship over time.

In the budget that began in July, the Board adopted a new initiative that I launched for Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). We will have dedicated staff to focus our efforts on opening Loudoun to new international markets. The FDI Strategy was developed through the input of the Economic Development Advisory Commission and will help us use one of our greatest economic assets, Dulles Airport, to connect Loudoun internationally. With that funding just becoming available this summer and recruitment underway for staff to lead it, I look forward to future growth in that area.

I think that the success we’ve had in the last few years has demonstrated that investments in economic development pay for themselves, and then some. Through the commercial growth the County has seen over the past 4 years, we have been able to invest in educational priorities, road improvements, and capital facilities while limiting the impact on the real estate tax rate. I look forward to continuing to share our progress with you in the coming years.

RESIDENTS ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND UPCOMING QUARTERLY MEETINGS HELD BY THE LOUDOUN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICEThe Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office holds quarterly public safety meetings as part of the agency’s effort to better utilize resources, while at the same time providing a higher level of service to county residents. All residents, homeowners associations, community groups, town representatives, and business owners are invited to attend.

The next scheduled meeting is November 9, 2015 at 7:00 p.m. at the Dulles South Public Safety Center, located at 25216 Loudoun County Parkway in Chantilly.

Items to be discussed are recent crime and crime trends in your area, traffic safety concerns and other public safety related issues. The meetings will be led by a Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office Captain who represents your service area, and Sheriff Mike Chapman or a member of his leadership team will also be in attendance. To learn more about upcoming meetings and events held by the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, please visit http://sheriff.loudoun.gov/lcsocalendar.

PACKAGE AND PARCEL THEFT

A common crime during this time of year is the theft of delivered packages and parcels. This crime is easily committed and can be hard to e unless the offender is caught in the act. To combat this type of crime, consider doing the following:

If possible make arrangements to pick up packages at a package store or postal service facility and if they must be delivered ask that packages be left on a back porch or set beside the front porch. This prevents them from being visible from the roadway.

Request a specific delivery time. Ask a trusted neighbor to watch for the delivery and have them take it to their house until you get home. If you are expecting a package and it does not arrive as scheduled follow-up with the carrier immediately.

Be extra vigilant in your neighborhood. If you keep seeing that same vehicle circling the block or same person wandering through the neighborhood, call it in immediately! When in doubt, have the Loudoun County Sherriff’s Office check it out. You are the eyes and ears for the community. Non-Emergency: 703-777-1021

"From the beginning the Reynolds Team had our target price and prediction right on the money. Their plan and calculations were precise and the house was sold from the first open house the day after listing. I found the Reynolds Team to be lovely and charming. Their finger was on the pulse of the neighborhood and they were more than willing to do everything in their power to negotiate the best deal all around. I highly recommend these ladies who made our sale and move smooth and uncomplicated when there were unforseen complications."

4 BIG REASONS TO CALL DEBBIE AND SARAH TO SELL YOUR HOME

"The Reynolds Team was phenomenal from start to finish throughout this process. My

house sold after three days and we closed a week early! They were attentive, on-point, thorough, and got the job done. The entire process was seamless! I cannot say enough good things about working with this team.

Thank you so much!" Sarah is a proud Homeowner in Stone Ridge!
