PRESIDENT’S LETTER My family and I have lived in Stone Ridge more than 13 years now and been involved with the Stone Ridge Association for much of that time. I continue to be amazed by what it takes to maintain and manage it all. The Association does similar

MIKE RHODES things that homeowners do at their homes such as water and

mow the grass, trim the trees, and trash removal but on the scale of a small town covering nearly 1,000 acres. As an engineer myself, I like numbers and I want to pass along a few numbers I found interesting, if not surprising. I hope you will too. In future issues of Etched In Stone we will have more interesting numbers. If you are curious about a specifc number or anything else you want to know about how the Association operates, feel free to ask (mrhodes@stoneridgeinc.org). I’ll do my best to fnd out. Somebody else probably has the same question so we all learn something.

HEROIN: AMERICA’S NUMBER ONE HEALTH CARE CRISIS STONE RIDGE ISN’T IMMUNE

STATISTICS ARE INCREASING AT ALARMING RATES

The evening news, both in Washington DC and the national channels have the heart-breaking stories. Occasionally, a local story will appear in your news feed. The tears of parents who had no idea their now deceased child had a problem. They had no idea that injury and a prescription led to a full-blown addiction.

The media might make you think it’s an inner city or in rural America struggle, that could not happen here in Stone Ridge.

That’s far from the truth.

In 2016 the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Offce experienced:

■ 87 opiate overdoses

■ 61 of the 87, involved heroin

■ 18 of the 87 were fatal

■ 7 of the 18 fatal deaths included heroin

■ 90% of heroin overdoses were white/Caucasian

■ 70% were males

■ Age range was 16-55; average was 28

■ Dulles South had 11 heroin overdoses

“Most of the time a heroin addiction starts with pills or prescription medicine” said Community Resource Offcer Garry Epple. “Pills are very, very expensive and money dries up which means the supplier dries up.” Then because the addiction is full blown, the abusers turn to heroin because its inexpensive and causes a powerful high. Drug dealers are mixing other ingredients such as baking soda to maximize proft and these ingredients are harmful and changes the potency of the heroin and the user cannot be sure exactly what they are using according to Epple.

In 2016, Virginia’s Health Commissioner, Dr. Marissa Levine, declared a public health emergency due to the epidemic.

Attorney General Mark Herring, a Loudoun native, “made combating heroin and prescription opioid epidemic his top priority by attacking the problem with a multifaceted approach that includes education, prevention, and legislation to encourage reporting of overdoses in progress, expand the availability of naloxone, and expand access to the Prescription Monitoring Program” according to the Offce of Attorney General’s website. His offce also produced the flm Heroin: The Hardest Hit.

Locally, the LCSO has been working with regional drug task force, Congresswoman Comstock’s offce, the Drug Enforcement Administration on educational programs for law enforcement, mental health providers, and community members to help combat the rising numbers of overdoses. A special program has been launched to educate pharmacists to combat the fake prescriptions and fraudulent prescriptions orders.

The LCSO received a grant from Commonwealth of Virginia to open a Crisis Intervention Team facility in Leesburg for individuals experiencing mental health crisis. Police offcers can take an individual experiencing a mental health crisis to this facility and another law enforcement offcer and mental health professionals can take over to allow the original street patrol offcer to return to the street/community. Walk-ins are allowed. Since 2012, 190+ LCSO employees have been trained in crisis intervention/mental health and 1,700+ crisis intervention have been seen at this facility.

MESSAGE FROM

CHAIRWOMAN RANDALL

NACo (National Association of Counties) held its annual convention on Sunday, February 26th. I was honored to participate in the panel discussion about the Opioid Epidemic that is ravaging our nation. Opioid addiction is the number one cause of accidental death in the US, surpassing highway fatalities. It is a public health crisis

that crosses

political, socioeconomic,

gender and jurisdictional lines. We

need a model to fght the disease of substance abuse

because in fve years there will be some other drug. The disease of

addiction needs to be treated medically rather than with law enforcement and

legislation. It is important to talk to the addict and involve the family and health community in treatment.

As a mental health therapist with an emphasis on substance abuse

and an elected offcial, I am in a unique position to share with my colleagues on the Board how the cost of incarceration is greater than the cost of prevention and treatment. I spent 15 years working in the jails and I know a

fscally responsible approach to opioid addiction is prevention and

treatment. Education and family are two important factors in prevention.

The frst step to address this epidemic is to have a conversation. I plan to host a Community Forum on the Opioid Epidemic this year. Loudoun County will lead on this issue by taking a holistic approach. The forum will include law enforcement, health providers, families, active users and the Community Services Board. My goal is to bring the community into this conversation because everyone is needed to stop this public health crisis.

OUR SUPERVISOR

11 JUNE 2017

Health Department- May 2017 For the third time in four years, Loudoun has been ranked as the healthiest county in Virginia by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

and the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute. Most of the credit goes to our residents and relatively affuent lifestyle, but the County does work on public health issues through the Loudoun County Health Department, which is the subject of this month’s article.

The Loudoun County Health Department provides a wide range of health care services and works to ensure the health and well-being of County residents. The department collects information and identifes problems and conditions that potentially affect the health of the public and assists with strategies to deal with these problems. They also provide advice on health-related matters, work to control the spread of disease, and inspect and investigate conditions that may adversely affect public health.

There are two divisions within the Health Department; Community Health and Environmental Health. The Community Health division provides a variety of services, including immunizations to help protect the public from vaccine-preventable diseases and testing for tuberculosis, STDs and HIV. The division provides follow-up of all reportable communicable diseases and also provides information on illness prevention, wellness, and chronic diseases. Clinics are located in two locations, Leesburg

The Environmental Health division maintains and improves the health of all residents through disease prevention, surveillance efforts and community health promotion. Many of these services support State and County regulations. The division is responsible for permitting and inspecting restaurants and other food establishments, public swimming pool permitting and inspection, rabies and Lyme disease surveillance and education and well and septic permitting.

The Health Department also works with the Board of Supervisors appointed Loudoun Health Council. The Loudoun Health Council includes representatives from the health care, business, faith and non-proft communities, LCPS, Chamber of Commerce, health-related county government agencies, town governments and the community. I appointed Dr. John Farrell of South Riding Pediatrics as one of the local physician representatives on the Council in order to get a strong pediatrics voice.

The Health Council works to develop strategies to prepare for and respond to a major outbreak of disease; to improve the health of the community in general; to increase the value of the local health care system for the entire community; to align community resources with selected priorities for action; and to identify where resources should be concentrated. Two major initiatives of the Health Council are the Safe Drinking Water Initiative and Live Healthy Loudoun.

The Safe Drinking Water Initiative encourages the regular testing of wells in rural areas. It also works to raise awareness of the role that proper disposal of unused medications plays in water quality. As part of this initiative, unneeded medication disposal units have been placed in several locations around the County. Locally they can be dropped off during normal business hours in the lobby of the Sheriff’s Offce at the Dulles South Public Safety Center, 25216 Loudoun County Parkway, in South Riding. Of course, besides water quality, dispensing of old and unused medication is also a good idea to make sure that it isn’t abused or accidentally ingested by children.

Live Healthy Loudoun is a new online resource to provide accurate and timely data, best practices, and other information to promote health and well-being in Loudoun County. The Community Health Dashboard at www.livehealthyloudoun.org, tracks more than 100 key health and quality of life indicators across different topics, including health, economy, education, environment, government and politics, public safety, social environment and transportation. It also allows users to look up promising practices, create customized reports and search for funding opportunities for community-level programs that can address the root causes of health disparities.

More information about the Loudoun County Health Department and available resources are available online at www.loudoun.gov/health. Stay healthy, Stone Ridge!

10 TIPS: AVOIDING PROPERTY THEFT FBI data gathered in 2015 shows that there were an estimated 7,933,631 property crimes, totalling in losses estimated at $14.3 billion. Avoid becoming a statistic this summer with property safety tips from the National Crime

Prevention Council and Signal 88 Security.

1. When parking outside in a public space, make sure doors are locked and windows are secured. Exercise the same caution in your own driveway or apartment parking lot.

2. Avoid leaving the garage door to your home open, exposing expensive lawn equipment or tools.

3. Do not leave personal property, such as bikes, unattended in the lawn or driveway.

4. Never leave children in the car unattended; it’s against the law.

5. Do not leave the car running with the keys in the ignition – even in your own driveway.

6. Make sure you close the garage door and the interior garage door every night before bed and, when in doubt, double-check.

7. Close and lock – including deadbolt – all doors to your home.

8. Properly secure your ground-level windows when away from your home.

9. Do not keep valuables in plain view of windows.

10. Enlist your neighbors to serve as the eyes and ears for your home if you’re away for extended periods of time.

OUR NOTES

ALL ABOUT GUEST PASSES Do you plan on bringing out of town guests this summer to use the pools at Stone Ridge? If so, please make sure to pick up your three complimentary guest passes at the Stone Carver Association Offce. Every home in Stone Ridge will be given three free guest passes that are only good for the 2017 pool season. Unused 2016 guest passes will NOT be accepted.

If you plan on having more than three visitors this summer, you may purchase additional guest passes at the rate of fve for $15.

Each “punch” on the card is equal to one guest visit per day. All guests must be accompanied by a member 16 years or older at all times and the number of guests is limited to fve per household, per day. Guests under the age of 5 do not require a guest pass. All guests must sign in at the pool desk upon arrival.

NO FISHING Please remember that there is no fshing or any other recreational activity allowed in the Stone Ridge ponds. While the “ponds” do contain fsh, the water is designed as a stormwater management facility. Stormwater management facilities are artifcial ponds designed to retain urban stormwater and are not to be used for recreational purposes. No fshing, no swimming, and no ice skating signs are posted in multiple locations around the pond for residents’ safety.

SOLICITATION IN STONE RIDGE Tis` the season for door-to-door solicitor activity! Currently, Stone Ridge does not have a policy against solicitation in our community, however, all solicitors must be registered with Loudoun County and display an issued ID badge at all times. During this registration process, a criminal history check is preformed and the solicitor is given a copy of the county’s regulations on soliciting.

If you encounter a solicitor and you do not believe they have registered or if you feel unsafe in any way, please call the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department non-emergency number at (703) 777-1021.

BOOK-TO-ACTION SUBMITTED BY KYLE ELLIOTT

Book-to-Action is a program that promotes community engagement by augmenting the conventional book group with a community service project. Launched by the Multnomah County Library (Oregon) in 2008.

Loudoun County Public Library’s Gum Spring Library has produced two Book-to-Action projects for the Dulles South community. The frst event, held last autumn designed around the 1Book/1Community novel Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman, included a service project with the Friends of Loudoun Mental Health.

This spring, Gum Spring Library, the Rotary Club of Dulles South, and Loudoun County Animal Services partnered to raise awareness about our county’s response to animals in need after selecting A Dog’s Purpose by Bruce Cameron. The Book-to-Action project consisted of:

■ a book discussion on March 30th

■ a pet food drive for the Loudoun County Pet Pantry; collection bins were placed at the Giant grocery store in South Riding and the Mug ‘n Muffn coffee shop in Stone Ridge.

■ and a craft project; making pet toys and beds

Rotary Club of Dulles South is a group of neighbors with a shared passion for volunteerism. From literacy projects to hosting educational health forums; from service at hospice or ShareHouse to fundraising to support a variety of local and international relief programs, there is a place in Rotary Club for anyone ready to serve.

OUR SCHOOLS

John Gabriel, the principal of John Champe High School was honored as Loudoun’s Principal of the Year and will represent Loudoun County for The Washington Post’s Principal of the Year Award. He received this honor on Monday, April 24th by the Loudoun County School Board.

Gabriel is noted for creating a successful school community in a rapidly growing area by maintaining a personal touch. “One of the qualities that most impresses me about John is his ongoing focus on personal, face-to-face interactions as part of his management strategy,” Assistant Principal Sara Genetin-Pilawa wrote in her nomination letter. “Despite the fact the school continues to grow, he makes time for people as a means to have the pulse of the building and get feedback from staff members.”

“Mr. Gabriel plays an active and effective role in the classroom because he makes (it) a point to actually visit classrooms,” wrote Social Science Department Chair Kimberly McDonald. “Each year he observes all of the teachers at JCHS, informally or formally. By conducting these observations, he is aware of what is happening throughout the building…I know that his observations and feedback are always appreciated by teachers.”

Dr. Neal Kravitz, a Champe business partner, also spoke to the personal investment Gabriel has in his school. “I am not sure anyone could be more emotionally giving to his students and

their administration.”

“He has been there from the start,” wrote Student Council Association President Baseem Zeweri. “When our football team was 0-10 to the time we won the district title, he has been our school’s

number one fan as if we were going to win the state championship…But his support did not only lie in our athletics; he continuously goes to band and orchestra concerts and supports nearly every club’s events with his time and attention.”

“From the moment the school opened its doors in the fall of 2012, Mr. Gabriel has been fully invested in maintaining the school as well as his incredible relationship with students, their families and faculty,” wrote Rachel Clark, a member of the Class of 2015. “As president of the Class of 2015 for the three years we were at Champe, I had the opportunity to work closely with Mr. Gabriel on several occasions and see for myself the kind of committed and caring leader we had running our school.”

Gabriel has served as John Champe’s principal since 2011 when he began a year of planning for the school’s opening. He previously served as an assistant principal at Park View High School; English Department chair at Falls Church High School; as an English teacher at North Stafford High School; and as an English teacher at Lodi, N.J., High School. Gabriel holds a bachelor’s degree in English from Mary Washington College and a master’s degree in educational leadership from George Mason University.

As evidence of his ability to stay abreast of developments in education, Gabriel is the author or co-author of three books: “How to Thrive as a Teacher Leader,” “How to Help Your School Thrive (Without Breaking the Bank)” and “Dealing With the Tough Stuff (Practical Solutions for School Administrators).”

MISTAKES EVEN ATHLETIC MEN MAKE SUBMITTED BY STONESPRINGS HOSPITAL CENTER

Ask your coworker about his workout routine and you’ll likely hear about reps, protein shakes and rest days. Or wraps, core and deadlifts. Everyone has their own tips. When it comes to mistakes, however, we’re remarkably similar. Fix just three things and boost your health profle.

MISTAKE: GUYS DON’T STRETCH. We dive right in – to moving the bookcase, carrying the luggage, or tossing the ball. Stretching is essential for men, particularly as they age. Before using a muscle group, take a moment to warm up muscles with dynamic (moving) stretches. Jumped into something before stretching? Take care to stretch right after and then again later that evening. Avoid bouncing while stretching and opt instead for long, slow moves where you take 3-5 full breaths before moving on to another stretch.

MISTAKE: MEN KEEP A DIRTY LITTLE SECRET -DEPRESSION

Work, family, fnances, lack of sleep, and poor eating habits all contribute to stress. Men tend to view stress as a faw and ignore it or “work through”

go unrecognized.

■ Here’s what to look for:

■ Persistent anxiety, or an “empty” mood

■ Feelings of hopelessness, pessimism

■ Feelings of guilt, worthlessness, helplessness

■ Anger

■ Loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed, including sex

■ Decreased energy, fatigue

■ Diffculty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions

■ Trouble sleeping or oversleeping

■ Weight change

■ Persistent physical symptoms, including headaches, stomach issues, and chronic pain, which do not respond to routine treatment

The good news is that men beneft from many of the same “de-stressors” as women, like exercise, sleep and good nutrition.

MISTAKE: MEN AVOID THE DOCTOR

You’re not sick so you don’t need a doctor. That’s the mindset behind this mistake. But routine checkups, aka an annual exam or well visit, can help you understand changes in your body as you age, and focus on risk factors based on your family history and lifestyle. At the minimum: Once a year get your blood pressure checked and get a cholesterol screening. For occasional illnesses, consider walk-in hours or minute-clinics if an appointment seems like overkill.

OUR BLOGS

STONE RIDGE RESIDENT BLOG HAS DELICIOUS FOLLOWING By Brandon Thomas

Shannah Coe lives hours from her mother, which means grandma misses a lot of special memories with her daughter and grandchildren. Due to traveling distance, Coe created a blog in 2011 where she would share information and photographs of what was happening in her family’s. “My blog started out just

as a way for us to be able to communicate with my mother” Coe said. “It was basically a family album.”

A year later, a non-family member commented on a post that’s when things changed and very quickly. “I knew when you post information to a blog it’s on the internet and others can see it. When that comment came in I had to decide if I was going to allow others to comment or take my blog private.” She decided to remake her blog. Originally named Just Us Four was re-branded and is now known as My Suburban Kitchen.

After traveling and visiting several blogging conventions in Utah and New York City, Coe’s blog took a more professional look which includes a Facebook page and a Twitter account where she shares her favorite culinary creations, recipes, techniques, and meal plans. “My daughter had a very hard time when I decided to take the blog in a different direction. She wasn’t happy that her brother and she were no longer going to be able to be featured on there” Coe said. “I still make sure that I include them as much as I can. I recently flmed my daughter and her friend making a dish for a new product.”

Today, from her Stone Ridge home, Coe is blogging to thousands around the world, working with businesses by testing their products, and developing new recipes. For more information visit www.mysuburbankitchen.com or Facebook.com/ MySuburbanKitchen.

The Door Hangers have been in use since May 2008 and have been a great success getting yards into compliance with the governing documents of Stone Ridge. However, we still receive questions on what this door hanger says. The door hanger on the right describes each section and its meaning. Stone Ridge is a great community with lots of ‘curb appeal’. Keeping a great looking yard is one way you can do your part in maintaining that appeal. Attention to detail is an important part.Please do not dump grass clippings in community areas! This is a violation of the Stone Ridge governing documents. Grass dumped on common ground does not quickly decompose and, instead, causes drainage problems and creates havens for rodents. Stone Ridge has weekly yard waste collection every Thursday. If you need assistance or have any questions regarding your lawn and what it means to be "in compliance", don’t hesitate to call the Association office during business hours.

Written documents indicate that around 1740 the village became Gum Spring, which consisted of: two merchants, a tanyard (leather shop), a blacksmith shop, a distillery, and the Gum Spring Anglican Church. On the outskirts of the village water-powered mills were built such as merchant mills, grist mills, and saw mills. The original “Gum Spring” is located behind Pangle’s Store.

OUR GOVERNING DOCUMENTS

WHAT IS A COMMUNITY CODE? Community Codes are simply the rules and regulations of the association. The Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions introduce this new term. The Appendix One definition reads: “Community Codes refer to the rules, regulations, standards, and guidelines as may be promulgated from time to time in accordance with this Declaration and which, once promulgated, are as binding and enforceable as this Declaration.”

The conversion process includes: (a) enactment of the proposed Community Codes by the Board of Directors pursuant to Declaration Article X, Section 10.2(b), (b) notification to the Members that the existing documents have been adopted as Community Codes, (c) wait thirty (30) days following the notification of Board’s adoption of the documents as Community Codes, and, if the Members do not call a special meeting to repeal the new Community Codes within those 30 days, (d) the new Community Codes are effective 30 days after the post-enactment notification.

The Architectural Review Committee has spent many months reviewing the standards and the proposed changes are published in this Etched in Stone for resident review and comment. Please review the proposed changes for Storage Sheds and forward any comments to the ARC or Association Office.

STORAGE SHEDS GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

An outdoor storage shed is typically a simple, single-story roofed structure used for storage. Outdoor storage boxes (bins) do not require approval

SPECIFIC GUIDELINES

1. No more than one storage shed will be permitted on any property without prior approval. 2.1. Wherever possible, built-in sheds should be integrated into the architecture of the house, walls or fencing. In attached housing the storage shed must be located against the rear wall and/or privacy fence and should not extend above the wall or fence. 3.2. Storage sheds shall be located in rear or side yards. Location in front yards is prohibited. 4.3. Size is generally limited to no larger than 80 square feet. 5.4. Sheds should be either finished to match the house, be painted in a color that blends with the immediate surroundings or left to weather naturally. 6. Freestanding sheds should be located in areas of vegetation to screen the shed from neighboring properties and streets. 7. All sheds, which are visible from the street, will require submission and approval. 8.5. Storage sheds in a visible location shall require screening by fencing and/or landscaping to effectively reduce the visual impact from neighboring properties and street.
