A MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER
Community Safety Is Everyone’s
Obligation
While Brambleton and Loudoun
County as a whole are very safe places to live, it takes the commitment
of everyone within our community
to ensure that it stays that way. It
also requires a coordinated effort between the residents, Loudoun County
Sheriff ’s Office, and the Association.
Only you and your neighbors know
best what the “normal” conditions
are in your neighborhood. Working together with a “See Something,
Say Something” approach will send a
message that Brambleton is no place
for the criminals to set up shop.
The Association takes community
safety and security very seriously. I
believe Brambleton has set the standards for community safety and security. Over the last several years,
the Association has worked with
the Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office
(LCSO), its residents, and contractors
to build its safety and security program through the establishment of
a safety and security committee and
Neighborhood Watch program. As
part of this program, the Association
has provided space to the LCSO for
its Community Policing office, hired
a private security patrol company,
installed cameras at all of its facilities,
and purchased and deployed a radar
trailer within the community. These
steps taken by the Association are
unlike those taken by any other associations in our region. I am proud
of what we as a community have accomplished and remain dedicated
and committed to the continued improvement of the Association’s safety
and security program.
Neighborhood Watch (NW) is an es-
sential component of our community’s safety and security program. The
idea behind the NW program is that
every resident within the community
should remain aware of his or her surroundings and the normal conditions
on their street or within the neighborhood. When you notice activity or conditions that are unusual or
suspicious, immediately report those
actions to the LCSO non-emergency
number (703-777-1021). When suspicious activities are reported, LCSO
will dispatch a deputy to investigate
the concern. You can do this anonymously if preferred. It is much better
to report a suspicious activity that
ends up being nothing than fail to
report a possible criminal act in progress. Don’t regret not reporting suspicious activity. See something, Say
Something!
Although the Association cannot directly enforce traffic laws on VDOT
streets, we continually work with
LCSO to address recurring issues
within our community. This process
has greatly improved since the Community Policing program was established in Brambleton. As a result
of this program, residents and the
Association have a deputy focused
on interacting with the community,
which has improved the presence
and interaction of LCSO and the community. My primary concern for the
program is that the one officer that is
dedicated to Brambleton also covers
several other communities. For this
reason, the time he actually spends in
Brambleton is minimal. From where
I sit, the Community Policing program needs additional deputies in
the Brambleton/Dulles South region.
This will require additional new funding from the County.
I am a believer that the program is
effective, and additional resources
are needed. If you have had a similar
positive experience with Deputy Roy
Ortutay or his recent replacement,
Deputy Milton Castelle, please consider emailing your experience, along
with a request for funding and staffing a second deputy in the Brambleton Community Policing office, to
Sheriff Chapman and the Loudoun
County Board of Supervisors (Mike.
[email protected] and BOS@
Loudoun.gov ).
I see building and strengthening our
community’s partnership with LCSO
as important to maintaining the safety and security we all value. One of
the ways we will continue to build on
our successful relationship is by hosting the 2015 LCSO Child Safety Day
on August 8th from 11am-4pm at the
Brambleton Town Center. The day
will provide children with the opportunity to check out the LCSO cruisers,
motorcycles and other vehicles; the
services they offer and much more.
Plan on spending a couple hours at
this worthwhile event right here at
our Town Center. BCA will also be
setting up a booth at this event with
community safety and security information. Stop by and see me!
Sincerely,
Rick Stone PCAM, LSM

Watching Your Speed: Brambleton's Radar Trailer
Brambleton Community Association recently purchased and deployed a radar trailer that will be
used throughout the community to
bring awareness to traffic related issues. The trailer has the capability to
display messages based on speed, record data, and capture photos. This
information will be used by LCSO
to determine problem areas within
the community and assign patrol resources to those areas.
Residents with traffic concerns can
request the sign on their street
through the BCA Website. Please visit the Safety & Security page on the
website for further information and
to request the sign by completing the
online form.
Disclaimer: BCA does not have the authority to enforce traffic laws on VDOT
streets. The radar trailer is for awareness purposes only and has been permitted by VDOT, and is deployed in
cooperation with Loudoun County
Sheriff ’s Office.
A New Face in the Office
Please join BCA in welcoming Mar-
6
tha Rodenburg as our new Resident
Services Administrator. As a 10 year
resident of Brambleton, Martha is
very familiar with the community
and a terrific addition to our team.
In her new role, she will serve as the
first point of contact for most residents reaching
out to the Association. Martha grew up in
Richmond and
moved to Loudoun County
in the early 90s
to become a
Flight Attendant for United Airlines.
After deciding that the glamour of
air travel wasn’t what they showed
in the commercials, she switched to
the glamour of administration. Martha’s hobbies have included needlepoint, tennis, and reading. She now
has a halfway done throw pillow, bad
knees, and has found a wonderful
book club that doesn’t make you read
the book.

COMMENTS ON COVENANTS
Covenants Enforcement
Elizabeth Stulga, CMCA - Design Review Manager
The purpose of the Declaration is to
establish a harmonious community.
Because the prompt, efficient, fair, inexpensive and non-belligerent resolution
of any disputes is desirable…from The
Declaration for Brambleton
Brambleton Community Association’s
governing documents include the
Declaration for Brambleton, where
this language can be found. It is
unique, and it creates the framework
for the enforcement efforts of the Association. The Association is responsible for maintenance and upkeep
of the common areas, the amenities,
and the administration and enforce-
8
ment of all covenants, including the
Design Guidelines and those included in the Declaration. Brambleton’s
property owners are automatically
“members” of the Association, and in
addition to all of the benefits of membership, they are obligated to abide
by the rules and regulations.
In circumstances where residents,
or their property, are found to be in
violation of these requirements, the
Association’s established due process begins. Appropriate notice is
provided to the resident to advise
them of the matter and request their
attention to resolve. If the matter re-
August 2015
mains unresolved, an opportunity for
a hearing with the Covenants Committee will be provided. Brambleton’s
Covenants Committee has authority
to take enforcement actions which
may include, but are not limited to,
the suspension of use privileges of
the recreation facilities and other
common areas, removal of voting
rights, and assessment of monetary
charges.
If anyone has questions regarding
due process, the enforcement procedures, or the covenants committee,
please contact the Association (703)
542-6263 or visit our website. 
Landscape Borders
The design guidelines for landscape borders were revised by the Covenants Committee in December 2014.
Landscape borders no longer require an application before installation if they comply with the following
guidelines:
1. Borders must be constructed of natural stone or brick. The use of concrete is prohibited.
2. The use of landscaping timbers is restricted to the rear yard.
3. Black plastic borders are allowed if they do not exceed grass height.
4. They must be keeping in size and scale of the existing landscaping bed.
Maintenance requirements and future considerations:
Walls/Borders for landscaping beds and associated elements must be maintained in keeping with Brambleton Community Association’s Property Maintenance Standards. They must be kept in a neat and orderly
fashion, and must be trimmed and edged around during the growing season.

EVENTS AND PROGRAMMING
Get Your Read On: Little Free Libraries
Are Open For Business
Sonya Farrell, Communications Coordinator
Got books? This July, Brambleton
implemented its highly anticipated
Little Free Library program. An international program that was orgininally
started in 2009 in Hudson, Wisconsin, it now boasts over 25,000 registered Libraries around the world.
Throughout the entire Brambleton
community, several small, kiosk-style
“libraries” have been installed in high
foot-traffic areas. Some look like birdhouses. One even looks like a phone
booth. But they all have one thing
in common: They’ve got books, and
nothing but books – for readers of all
ages and genres. Ok, so the Library at
the Garden Plots has seeds, too. Fun,
right? And they’re yours to borrow
whenever you want.
Bringing the program to Brambleton
was initiated by resident Abel Sussman, who got the idea from a friend
in Chantilly who had started it in his
neighborhood. When Abel brought
the idea to the Association earlier
this year, it was originally on a much
smaller scale. “I liked the idea so
much that I was very willing to build
one myself and put it in the Morning
Walk tot lot.” He suggested bringing
it to Brambleton because of his enjoyment of reading and trading books
with his friends and his belief that
“importing a love of reading to children is always a good idea.”
Brambleton’s Grounds & Facilities
Committee embraced Abel’s suggestion and quickly determined that this
could be, and should be, a community wide program. The Committee
made a recommendation to Brambleton’s Board of Directors, and at their
10
February meeting, the Board acted to
approve the program and the funds
to purchase up to 6 lending stations.
Shortly thereafter, BCA staff mapped
out the initial locations, ordered the
library structures, and began collecting donations of books. Working with
Abel, a group of interested residents
became committed Little Free Library
librarians. Once the Little Free Library
kits arrived, staff built and then began installing them throughout the
community. Almost immediately,
residents were at the ready to begin
stocking, lending and borrowing!
The Little Free Library program works
on the honor system. If you want a
book, you take a book. If you take a
book, you return it when you’re done.
Or if you’re feeling really generous,
bring a book to swap in its place! So
the next time you’re cleaning out
your bookshelves or closets, please
feel free to drop your used books to
the HOA office. Our librarians, or “curators,” will take over from there and
distribute them to the various kiosks
throughout Brambleton. It’s just that
easy!
Abel explained that loss from theft
and damage from weather will always be concerns. “We kind of expect the books to disappear. Such
is the nature, and that’s why we’re
using the donation system. As people’s kids grow up and retire some
of their books, or if someone’s moving and they need to get rid of their
own library,” people are always happy
and eager to donate books. And at
the end of the day, if someone takes
a book and doesn’t return it, it’s still
August 2015
being read and enjoyed by someone.
That is, after all, the ultimate goal of
the program.
Even though the program was quietly
launched a week ago, word has really
spread. Plenty of folks have already
taken home new books to enjoy, and
we hope to be able to reach more
people by expanding the program
even further in the coming months.
For more information about how to
use the Little Free Libraries and what
types of materials are accepted, visit

Boot Camp Baby
Kendra
L.
I have been a member of Boot Camp in Brambleton for about a year and a half. It is the first workout program I have really enjoyed and stuck with long-term. Within the first couple months of
starting boot camp, I noticed that my training for long distance races was becoming easier because
of the strength training involved. Within four months of starting Boot Camp, I was in the best shape
I had been in since high school. One thing I love about Boot Camp is Jeff 's ability to adapt each
workout to the level of fitness of each individual participant. Everyone in the class gets the best
possible workout. Last year I found out I was pregnant and because of Jeff 's ability to personalize
each workout, I was able to continue Boot Camp during my entire pregnancy (up until 39 weeks).
As a result, I was able to have a FIT pregnancy. Jeff is so passionate about health and fitness and
is personally invested in the goals of his Boot Campers. It is because of his passion that I have become more motivated and fit.

Humans of Brambleton: Dr. Zach
Casagrande
It’s a great place to live. We have
lived in Loudoun since I completed
my residency and started practicing.
Brambleton is a great place to raise
a family, there are tons of kids, and
it’s a growing area still. And people
care about their health and their
kids’ health and teeth here. I also
wanted somewhere that I could live
close to the office and become part
of the community….and the short
commute doesn’t hurt! With three
kids of my own I wanted to be home
as much as I could. When I finished
my residency in Richmond and came
back home to Northern Virginia,
Brambleton was really just a road
and they were building the movie
theater. I think we were the second
tenant in the Town Center. Now
obviously there’s a ton of stuff going
on. We’re getting ready to expand
the office again this fall and this time
we’re adding something that I don’t
think a medical or dental office has
ever done before. It’s going to make
the experience for patients that
much better.
This month we chatted with Dr. Zach
Casagrande of NorthernVirginia
Orthodontics about what it’s like to
be the official orthodontist of the
Capitals, Wizards and Mystics, how
he gives back to the community, and
why you should be having fun at the
orthodontist.
So, Northern Virginia Orthodontics (NVO) has just been named
the “Official Orthodontist” of the
Washington Capitals, Wizards and
Mystics. What exactly does that
mean?
We’ve actually treated a bunch of
the Caps, but none of the Wizards
or Mystics yet,
but we will be.
[Ted] Leonsis
owns the Verizon
Center and the
three teams and
they have 450
employees, not
including the
players. Basically,
we’ll be taking
care of those employees, the players
and their families. For the organization (Monumental Sports) they get
their orthodontic work and we get
that great exposure.
Does this mean people can expect
to see some professional athletes
showing up at NVO sometime
soon?
Definitely, and we’ve seen some already. Not only in the office patientwise, but they’re giving us a lot of
access, too. So at their most recent
Capitals Fanfest, they let us go over
with some staff and patients and
What do you like about the area?
And the rest is history. Since then
NVO has made a great impact on
the community.
My wife and I are really active in the
community. We do a ton of philanthropic and charity work, which I’m
hugely passionate about. We’ve had
three patients with pediatric cancer
over the last five years that have succumbed to the disease. So we did a
huge fundraiser for pediatric cancer
where I bought a Jeep and parked it
right in front of the Town Center for
two months to raffle it off, which we
called “Car For A Cure.” One hundred
percent of the collections went to
charity. Half went to Team Mathias,
the pediatric cancer charity of a dear
patient of mine, and half went to
research at Children’s National in D.C.
We ended up raising $158,000, just
locally in the community, which was
awesome!
What drives that passion for you?
Honestly, just helping people. When
I see a patient, it’s for two years. And
a family with three kids I’ll see for
seven or eight years in a row. You
get to know these families very well.
Mathias Giordano was one of my
favorite patients, super polite kid,
always talking to everyone in the office, caring, kind, good looking, great
smile, very athletic. And watching
him go through his fight against cancer, I wanted to do whatever I could
for the family and raising awareness. Orthodontics in general allows
my team (NVO) and I the ability to
change and better lives every day
and also gives our office the means
to do things like this for others. Our
goal is to make a difference in as
many lives and patients and families
as possible.
What made you want to be an
orthodontist?
When I realized college and baseball
weren’t going to last forever, I started working in my dad’s best friend’s
dental office during breaks from
school. That’s when I got interested.
In your third year of dental school
you do all of these rotations to see
all of the specialties, and that’s when
I knew I wanted to do orthodontics.
The main reason: the orthodontists
seemed the happiest.
How long before you get the Nats
in your office?
Oh man, that would be awesome. If
they come calling, we’ll do it. Baseball’s the sport I played, it’s my son’s
passion. We love all those guys. I’d
say, to answer your question, give
17
it a couple of years. Once they see
how well we treat the Caps and the
Wizards and Mystics, they’ll be calling!

Community Partners Doing Good:
Little Smiles
Over the last month, we at Little Smiles Pediatric Dentistry and Costa
Family Dentistry have been collecting toys for pediatric patients at Fairfax
Hospital as part of GraysonGives, a campaign started by an awesome,
local boy named Grayson, who suffers from Type 1
Diabetes.
After spending time in the hospital himself, Grayson decided he wanted to hold a toy drive for the other cihldren in the hospital. He wanted to "help them not feel
scared while they were there and not feeling well."
Dr. Costa and his three kids recently went shopping to
help us fulfill our promise to match all donations made
by our patients (and to buy some extras for such a great
cause!). We were so happy to be able to help spread
some little SMILES! Grayson, you are our hero!

COMMUNITY RESOURCES
Protects and Serves Man's Best Friends
Sarah Conrad, Covenants Advisor
The Covenants Advisors recently attended a meeting with Loudoun County
Animal Services to learn about the types
of services that are offered to the community. We walked away with a lot of
great information that we wanted to
share with you.
(LCAS) is comprised of two major components, Animal Shelter Operations
and Animal Control Division. The Animal Shelter provides care for companion animals that have been surrendered by their owners or found stray
in the County. The Animal Shelter also
offers pets for adoption, community
engagement, and volunteer opportunities. The Animal Control Division
enforces state and local animal laws
regarding reports of animal cruelty or
welfare concerns by utilizing investigative and humane education practices. Animal Control Officers engage
residents through animal welfare presentations to schools, HOA groups,
and other community organizations.
Additional information can also be
found on their website at www.loudoun.gov/animals or Facebook.com/
loudounanimals.
The Commonwealth of Virginia mandates that Loudoun County require all
dogs four months of age and older to
be licensed. In Loudoun County, dog
licenses are issued concurrently with
the rabies vaccination effective period
for each individual dog. The county issues permanent tags to remain with
the dog for its lifetime (replacement
tags are available if needed). All dogs
must have a license tag securely attached to a collar and worn whenever
26
the dog is off of the owner’s property.
Failure to purchase a dog license is a
Class IV Misdemeanor, which can carry
up to a $250 fine. The good news is
that you can pay for your dog license
online.
listed below by clicking here, or submit a request with the BCA by visiting
http://www.brambletonhoa.com/requesttracker.aspx and selecting “Pet
Concern.”
•
Feces Removal – reports of citizen
not removing pet waste from any
property (other than his own)
•
Dog running at large – reports of
dog roaming off leash
•
Stray aggressive animal
•
Welfare concerns – report of concern for the welfare of animal in
non-life threatening condition.
•
Dog or cat bite when the owner is
known
Why You Need a License for Your
Dog
•
•
A license tells everyone that your
pet is not a homeless stray, and
it can identify you as the owner
should your pet be found running
loose.
Animal Control Officers will attempt to deliver your licensed
dog to you immediately, skipping
a trip to the animal shelter.
•
Dog licenses are required for entrance to many dog parks.
•
License fees support Animal Care
& Control programs including:
care and housing for approximately 3,000 stray and abandoned
animals a year, investigations of
animal neglect and cruelty, emergency rescue and response services for animals, adopting homeless
pets to new families, and community education and outreach.
•
Your dog license is proof that your
pet has been vaccinated against
rabies.
Animal Services officers are responsible for enforcing Virginia State laws
and Loudoun County and town ordinances that pertain to animals. In
addition, Animal Services officers are
responsible for various other services
24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Services include:
•
Investigation of animal cruelty,
neglect, abandonment, and fighting
•
Investigation of dog attacks to humans and domestic animals
•
Investigation of confinement of
animals in vehicles
Services Provided in the Community
strives to deliver accessible, convenient service to the Loudoun community. You may submit an online
complaint for the following concerns
August 2015
•
Regulation and inspection of kennels and pet stores
•
Removal of stray dogs from streets
and public areas
•
Response to wildlife that poses a
threat or has had contact with a
person or domestic animal
•
Technical animal rescues, such as
ice and swift water rescue
•
Response to sick or injured companion animals
•
Assistance to police and fire-rescue personnel
•
Rabies vaccination and dog license enforcement
Animal Control dispatchers can be
reached at 703-777-0406 and remain
available during business hours to
receive those complaint types listed
above and to answer any questions
you may have. For emergency complaints after hours, please contact the
Sheriff ’s Department at 703-777-1021.

ASSOCIATION MAINTENANCE
Grounds & Maintenance: My First 60
Days at BCA
Billy Massey, Facilities & Grounds Supervisor
My first 60 days here in Brambleton
have been exciting, welcoming, challenging, and, most notably, extremely busy! I was immediately embraced,
and after only a few days, I felt like an
integral part of the Brambleton team.
My first week here, I hit the ground
running, helping with our very successful first Brewfest, quickly followed by our annual Red, White, and
Bram celebration, and our first Sizzlin’
Summer Concert.
While that was my initial experience,
my primary responsibilities involve
the day to day operations of Brambleton’s facilities and grounds. On
any one day I can be seen interacting
with contractors performing repairs
on one of our buildings, meeting with
homeowners to discuss a reported
work request, inspecting the pool
facilities, or even getting a little dirty
w h i l e performing repairs in our
parks or common areas.
This has certainly proven to be a very
busy summer! I can truly say that I
have learned a great deal in the short
amount of time that I’ve been here,
and I am having fun in the process.
I greatly appreciate my co-workers
and residents welcoming me and
my family to the community. I look
forward to taking on more responsibility and learning all of the ins and
outs of the job and community. This
will take time, as every day brings
new challenges. I feel blessed to
be a part of this team, and I and
look forward to getting to know the
community better.

FOR YOUR HEALTH
Identifying Symptoms of Sepsis
Christopher Crowell, MD - Medical Director, StoneSpring Emergency Center
You may not have heard about
sepsis, a life-threatening response
to infection, but it is a frequent
cause for visits to the emergency
room and can be extremely dangerous.
When you get an infection, your
immune system releases chemicals
into your blood to fight the infection. In most cases, this response
allows the infection to be neutralized and eliminated. However, in
some cases the immune response
can be severe, and the infected
individual can develop sepsis. This
inflammatory process can spread
throughout the body, which can
lead to blood clots and leaky blood
vessels. This in turn can impair
blood flow, which can damage the
body’s organs by depriving them
of nutrients and oxygen. In severe
cases of sepsis, one or more organs
fail; in the worst case, sepsis can
lead o septic shock. If this happens,
multiple organs may quickly fail,
and a patient can die.
While anyone can get sepsis,
nfants and children, older adults,
and people with weakened immune systems or chronic diseases
34
are at higher risk because of their
reduced ability to fight infection.
Different types of infections can
lead to sepsis, including infections
of the skin, lungs, urinary tract,
abdomen (such as appendicitis), or
other parts of the body.
The symptoms of sepsis can be
subtle and are often missed or
misdiagnosed. The Sepsis Alliance
created a chart to remember the
symptoms:
* S – shivering, fever, or feeling
very cold
* E – extreme pain or discomfort
* P – pale or discolored skin
* S – sleepy, difficult to rouse, or
confused
* I – “I feel like I might die”
* S – shortness of breath
If you suspect sepsis, it is worth
calling 911 or going to the emergency room.
Diagnosis of sepsis is best done
in an emergency room, and may
require lab and radiology tests.
Sepsis is usually treated through
August 2015
intravenous fluids and antibiotics.
In some cases, other drugs or treatments may be necessary. The good
news is that many people who
are treated promptly can recover
completely.
You can try to prevent sepsis the
same ways you prevent against
other infections: stay away from
others who are ill; wash hands before eating, after playing or working outside, and after using the
bathroom; and keep young infants
who have not yet received their
vaccinations away from crowds
or anyone who is sick. If you are
prescribed antibiotics, follow the
directions and take all doses. Seek
medical help if an illness doesn’t
get better or if gets worse.
