>>>Young Heroine Saves A Life At Pool

DROWNING OF A YOUNG BOY AND RESCUE BY A YMCA MEMBER AT THE ALGONKIAN SWIMMING POOL IN LOUDOUN COUNTY VIRGINIA AT 3PM Wednesday, 8/18/04

Thanks goes to Beth Dapper, an eleven (11) year old YMCA member, who performed a dramatic underwater swimming life saving action on Wednesday, August 18th 2004. Beth Dapper saved the life of a small child who had drowned and was lying on the bottom of the large swimming pool at ALGONKIAN Park, run by Northern Virginia Regional Parks Authority, in Loudoun County, Virginia. Elizabeth Dapper's skilled underwater swimming and underwater visual perception was used to save the life of a young male drowning victim.

In a short letter sent to the family, Eugene Delgaudio of Sterling District said

"I am sure that others who hear of this brave action are as thankful and appreciative as I am. It takes a special person to act in the manner your daughter has acted.

I will not be the last person who will thank her for her actions but I am sure the first of many who will express thanks.

A lifesaver is like an angel from God to the person that he or she saves. God has blessed you and may He continue to bless you." END QUOTE

>>>>Board to consider building code update Sept. 7

The parking, sanitation and overcrowding problems caused by single-family homes being turned into multiple-occupant "flophouses" will be addressed on September 7th when the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors considers a proposal to bring Loudoun's building code into compliance with Virginia safety standards.

"Sterling residents of all ages, races, colors and political beliefs have been asking for this change for years," said Sterling District Supervisor Delgaudio, who initiated the proposal. "I grew up in New York City, where entire neighborhoods of all colors came together to tackle problems like these. New York is now a much better place to live for people of all races. Now Loudouners finally have a Board who will listen to reason and pass this badly needed update to our building code."
