Leaders with Mobile Hope, such as Director of Philanthropy Bonnie Inman (pictured), want to transform its property on Sycolin Road into a life skills center, which would house homeless people ages 18 to 21.

eesburg may soon get a shelter to serve homeless young adults. The Leesburg Town Council has initiated a zoning ordinance amendment to allow for overnight shelters in the Crescent Design District, where Mobile Hope Loudoun is looking to build a center for homeless young adults ages 18 to 21. The nudge to change the zoning ordinance came from Mobile Hope, which wants to expand its current operations at 31 Sycolin Road SE. Right now, a small building on the property houses its supplies to provide food, clothes, hygiene products, school supplies, medical care, books and toys to children in need.
But the organization wants to be able to house young adults who, after turning 18, are no longer eligible to live in youth homeless shelters. “I’ve noticed a void in services for kids 18 to 21 over the last four years, so what we’d like to do is build a life skills facility,” Mobile Hope Executive Director Donna Fortier said. “A lot of kids have been living in survival mode…they’re struggling just to get through every day.” Fortier, developer Leonard S. “Hobie” Mitchel and Jack Robinson, principal of Loudoun’s alternative Douglass School, were among several speakers advocating the zoning change at recent council meetings. The area is zoned for only commercial uses. Fortier said young adults would be handselected for the shelter, and the center could eventually expand to serve those aged 21 to 24.
She noted there often isn’t room at adult housing centers, and when there is, the homeless young people have to share a large room with “50-plusyear-old men,” and that isn’t the best environment for learning. “We think this would be a great solution to a terrible problem,” Fortier said. “We’ve seen a lot more kids who are couch-surfing or have a bad situation at home or staying in their cars.” In his support for the life skills center, Robinson said three or four students at Douglass are considered homeless. The new facility would not only provide housing, but also teach life skills such as balancing a checkbook, drafting résumés and working with mentors. “These kids don’t have anybody,” Mitchel said. “They just need some directions and help Continued on Page 22

PublicSafety THREE TEENS CHARGED IN ASHBURN HOLD-UP
T
hree teens have been charged in connection with a June 9 hold-up of a food delivery worker. The alleged robbery happened at 8:30 p.m. in front of a townhouse in the 23600 block of Sailfish Square in Ashburn. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, the victim was attempting to deliver food to the home when he saw a male standing outside and two others near the side of the building. One of the suspects ordered him to drop the food and demanded money. A second suspect displayed a firearm in his waistband and again demanded money. They grabbed the food and fled. Deputies responded to the area and set up a perimeter while a search was conducted with the assistance of a K9 unit. The food and a replica pellet gun were found discarded in the area. Investigators identified three suspects, two 17-year-olds and a 16-year-old, who were each charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery, and use of a firearm during the commission of a felony. They remained held at the Loudoun County Juvenile Detention Center on Monday.

Three children and two adults were injured in a multi-vehicle crash Saturday afternoon on Rt. 15 at Wilt Store Road north of Leesburg.
A bicyclist from Ashburn was critically injured after being thrown from his bike on the W&OD Trail on June 9, according to sheriff’s office. Shortly before 4:30 p.m., the adult male cyclist was riding his bike on the trail just west of Ashburn Village Boulevard when a juvenile bicyclist passed him and clipped his bicycle, sending him off his bike. The adult male was airlifted to Inova Fairfax Hospital for life-threatening injuries. He was wearing his helmet, according to the sheriff’s office. The juvenile bicyclist was not injured. n

A 68-year-old Manassas Park man has been charged with soliciting a teenage girl online, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office announced today. The investigation began May 28 when a patrol deputy located Denard D. Springle III a suspicious vehicle in a parking lot in the 45000 block of Woodland Road in Sterling. Inside the car were the suspect, Denard D. Springle III, and a 17-year-old girl. It was learned the two had met online and had been involved in a consensual relationship. Springle was initially charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor. The sheriff’s office Sex Crimes Unit pursued the case and determined Springle allegedly had solicited the teenager on multiple occasions. On June 8, he was charged with four counts of use of a communications systems to facilitate certain offenses involving children. Springle was released from the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center on Wednesday, after posting a $20,000 secured bond.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office and the Virginia State Police responded to the area at about 12:30 p.m. for a report of a crash involving several vehicles and patients. A Frederick, MD, man was driving a 2003 Chevy pickup northbound when he veered into the incoming lane after a deer crossed into the road on the east shoulder, according to the sheriff’s office. The pickup went left to avoid the deer and sideswiped a southbound Chevy Astro Van driven by a Washington, DC, man and continued into a Dodge Caravan, driven by a Damascus, MD, man. Three of six children who were in the Dodge Caravan were transported to Inova Loudoun Medical Center in Leesburg for treatment of injuries described as non-life threatening. They were all wearing seat belts. The drivers of Astro Van and the Caravan were taken to the same hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, the sheriff’s office report stated. Alcohol, drugs, fatigue and speed were not factors in the crash, according to sheriff’s office Public Information Officer Kraig Troxell. The driver of the Chevy pickup was charged with general reckless driving.

Council Scales Back Over-Budget King St. Sidewalk Widening Project
businesses on the block while offering little long-term benefit. “I don’t expect the widening to accommodate more than a small café table,” Umstattd said. “I don’t think it will be a transformational change in the downtown area.”
T
he Town Council on June 9 voted to move ahead plans to upgrade the King Street streetscape, but significantly reduced the scope of the work because of a more than $1 million cost overage. Under the action, work will be done only in the one-block section between Loudoun and Market streets, and plans for improvements on North King Street will be scrapped. That is because construction bids for the full project came in higher than expected, breaking the budget for the overall downtown improvement project by more than $1 million. According to a staff report, the town has spent $4.1 million of the $4.74 million allocated for the downtown improvements, which also includes work on Loudoun Street. The lowest construction bid, by Madigan Construction Inc., to widen the sidewalks on the west side of King Street and make other improvements in the two-block area, initially came in at $2.1 million. That figure was negotiated down to $1.7 million but was still too much for the council to approve. The reduced scope of the project brought the contract award to $603,100. The council voted 5-2 to support the one-block plan. Mayor Kristen Umstattd and Councilwoman Suzanne Fox were the dissenters. “There were clearly cost overruns in different sections” of previous downtown improvements, Councilwoman Katie Sheldon Hammler said. “I’m comfortable that we will focus on this priority. We could have focused on this area sooner.” Councilman Tom Dunn said it was important to move forward with improvements, but he was hesitant to spend another $1 million to finish the full project. “These aren’t funds that should be taken lightly,” Dunn said. Vice Mayor Kelly Burk noted that the process has been going on for a long time and that the council has put stress on people who have wanted to see this happen. Councilman Dave Butler agreed with that assessment. “We’ve been working on this for about eight years,” Butler said. “It will be really good to see it come to fruition.” The proposal to widen the sidewalks and eliminate some parking spaces between Loudoun and North streets to allow for outdoor seating at restaurants has been among the most-debated projects in recent years. The council has approved and unapproved the plans several times as downtown businesses and property owners clashed in their views of the project. Critics raised concerns about the cost and the elimination of some on-street parking spaces. Supporters say the work will help bring more people downtown to support commerce. In opposing the motion, Fox said she had safety concerns about widening the sidewalks. Umstattd, who has opposed the project previously, said the construction could do “significant damage” to

We have a good in the same building as the hair salon run his mother, relationship, we’re close and I think we’ll Teresa Hatfield. work together very well.” Shawn Hatfield, who recently graduated from Radford University, has always been interested in recording music and has played the guitar since he was 8. He said the idea of teaching didn’t “hit me” until college when he was studying music every day. And now he has a location for his first professional venture. “It’s pretty exciting. It’s definitely a change for her and a big step for me,” Hatfield said. “She’s definitely helped me get on my feet big time and done all the motherly things you could ask for.” His business includes several rooms, including a recording studio with a booth and lesson areas upstairs and downstairs. Plenty of guitars are in the studio upstairs, and there’s a piano downstairs. He hopes to teach anyone in Northern Virginia who is interested in music, especially young people. “As long as someone has the passion to do it, I’m willing to teach,” Hatfield said. He can teach most genres, but in school he focused on jazz and classical music. He has played funk, bluegrass, rock and metal music. Teresa Hatfield said the idea to collocate businesses came from driving her son to different studios to receive lessons when he was younger, and she hopes the studio will find its place among Leesburg businesses.

y the end of the summer, the Village at Leesburg will have filled more than 70,000 square feet of retail space over the past 18 months, and a visual makeover there will be complete. The shopping center’s boom comes three years after its draw for retailers lagged and its occupancy hovered between 60 and 75 percent. “Retailers are attracted by other retailers,” said Jarnell Bonds, senior marketing director for Rappaport, the leasing company that oversees the Village. “They see activity has sparked at the Village, and it’s becoming a magnet.” That more than 70,000 square feet of new retail that’s arrived during the past seven months included Smokehouse Live, a barbecue restaurant and live music venue that opened two weeks ago. Others will soon follow. In the food category, Rita’s Italian Ice soon will be serving up Italian ice and frozen custard next to a new kids play area. Also this summer, the popular Korean-style fried chicken chain BonChon will open its doors. And this fall, Mexican restaurant Plaza Azteca will add yet another dining choice. “We have great food options in numerous categories,” Village at Leesburg’s Marketing Director Staci Harris said. Other new businesses include Hair Cuttery, set to open its fourth Leesburg location in June, and Banfield Pet Hospital, which will begin taking customers in the late fall or early winter. European Wax Center, a salon special-
izing in wax services, will begin serving its niche clientele in the fall, and Spokes Etc., voted among America’s Best Bike Shops in 2014 by the National Bicycle Dealers Association, will open in August. “It’s a community center that’s got something for everyone,” Bonds said. On top of the new business openings, the Village Market Square, right in the center of Village Market Boulevard, is undergoing improvements to entice patrons into enjoying the outdoors. Enhancements include a children’s pop-up water fountain, with daily bubble shows, to complement the existing kids climbing and play area. An area for expanded outdoor seating options, new landscaping and a dual fire pit and water fountain will be added. Concerts on the Village Market Square also are in the works. “We wanted to create a warm, welcoming gathering space,” Harris said. Also, a series of kinetic wind sculptures, some as tall as 30 feet, has been built by artist Lyman Whitaker at each entrance to the main retail strip. All of the work is slated to be complete before the Village’s sixth annual Summer Block Party on July 25. Another big event in the near future is the June 27 Wine and Food Festival, featuring more than 220 wines from 20-plus wineries. “We hope to keep up this pace because it’s an attractive demographic,” Bonds said. “It’s becoming an entertainment and dining mecca.” For more information, go to villageatleesburg.com. n

Work by fire crews to limit damage during last week’s fire at a South King Street building earned accolades, but the residents living in apartments above Caulkin’s Jewelry suffered significant losses: possessions, pets and places to live. On Thursday, several downtown businesses are teaming up to help them. The June 18 benefit concert and silent auction is planned from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at The Thomas Birky House at 109 W. Loudoun St. Performers include Leesburg favorites Todd Wright, Stilson Greene, Prescott Engle, Gary Smallwood, Cassiy Ford, and Johnny Kasun, and the event will be emceed by Music Planet Radio’s Cerphe Cowell. A donation of $25 per person is suggested. The event was organized by Todd and Lindsay Wright, Cerphe and Susan Colwell, Paige Buscema of Eyetopia Inc., The Eyewear Vault, Bobbi Elliott of Healthy By Nature, HalfKing Publishing, Stilson Greene Graphics & Design, Inspired Events by Helen Kruger, and Judy Kozacik and Ron Rust.

zoos with them. As part of its annual practice to adjust the town code, the Town Council is backing a change to allow petting zoos at the park and clarify that drones and remote-controlled airplanes can fly within the grounds in limited areas. Town Attorney Barbara Notar gave a presentation on town staff’s proposed changes to the code, and council members voted unanimously to send the six amendments to a public hearing. Some will be on a June 23 agenda, and others will be addressed in early July. The Department of Parks and Recreation frequently receives requests from individuals to use drones and model airplanes in Ida Lee Park, and they are allowed only in a limited area away from active park users. The amendment will clarify that these aircraft are included in the uses permitted from Parks and Recreation Director Rich Williams. They were previously defined as missiles. The department also has received requests to bring petting zoos into the park for parties. If the proposal is adopted following the public hearing, individuals could apply for an exemption with Williams. Another proposal is to tack on a new fee—up to $5—for each criminal and traffic case to help pay for a new state electronic summons system. The system provides for e-ticket machines in patrol cars that read driver’s licenses and print tickets. The system is expected to reduce paperwork for law-enforcement agencies and allow violators to pay tickets more quickly. Another town code change is required because of a new state law. The measure allows for a real estate tax exemption for surviving spouses of members of armed forces killed in action. Also on the table is the work of a pair of town advisory panels. The Economic Development Commission and Technology and Communications Commission “cleaned up their list of duties,” Notar said. The Technology and Communications Commission specifically eliminated the need for continuous oversight of cable system operations and advising the town on the grantee’s compliance.

The Town of Leesburg began its annual milling and paving work this week. Streets planned for resurfacing this year are: • Battlefield Parkway NE on June 15 and 17; • Cherry Lane NE on June 16 and 18; • Cardinal Park Drive SE on June 17 and 19; • Bradfield Drive SW on June 18 and 22; Woodlea Drive SW on June 19 and 23; and • Oak View Drive SE on June 23 and 25. Work hours will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. During milling-and-paving operations, crews will close one lane of the street at a time, so motorists should expect delays. In addition, no on-street parking will be allowed during the work. Any changes to the schedule will be advertised via notices to the town’s website (leesburgva. gov), message boards and flier handouts. For more information, contact Brian Lloyd at 703-771-2782 or blloyd@leesburgva.gov. n

Loudoun supervisors and county staff members Tuesday celebrated the completion of the widening of a section of Riverside Parkway/ Fort Evans Road. The road was widened from two to four lanes between Sentinel Drive and Kingsport/ Upper Meadow Drive. The project took 13 months to complete and was finished half a million dollars under budget, said Joe Kroboth, director of Loudoun’s Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure.

eveloper the Van Metre Cos. is asking Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors to approve a plan to build to 238 homes on nearly 50 acres adjacent to Liberty Elementary School and South Riding. The project envisions the construction of up to 143 townhouses and up to 95 single-family homes on property on the northeast corner of the intersection of Braddock and Gum Spring roads. Park or other open-space uses are slated for an additional 14 acres south of Braddock. Van Metre also pledges to build 30 of the townhouses as part of the county’s Affordable Dwelling Unit program for first-time homebuyers with moderate income. No one spoke at a public hearing the Board of Supervisors held on the proposals June 10, and the supervisors voted unanimously to take up the matter again July 15. It’s unclear if the supervisors will agree to allow more than 200 homes on the property. Van Metre could build more than 50 homes on the land without getting approval from the board. Another topic mentioned last week was how the developer could improve roads in the area. The Virginia Department of Transportation didn’t like Van Metre’s initial plan to realign Braddock, and Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) suggested that a roundabout be considered as part of the project.
Starting at $7,999 !
A report prepared for the supervisors noted that six Loudoun residents told the county that they oppose the development proposal. “All comments note poor traffic conditions in the area, largely at the intersection of Gum Spring and Braddock roads, heading east on Braddock Road, or on Route 50,” it said. In a separate but related project, Van Metre wants to build a 35,010-square-foot retail center south of Braddock. Loudoun’s Planning Commission was scheduled to hold a public hearing on that application Tuesday night.

Comstock Votes Against Bill That Cuts Metro Funding Jonathan Hunley
R
jhunley@leesburgtoday.com
ep. Barbara J. Comstock voted against a major spending bill last week because it reduces funding for Metrorail by $50 million. The appropriations bill for the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Housing and Urban Development was approved 216-210 on June 9, but Comstock (R-VA-10) joined 30 other House Republicans in voting against it. The legislation allocates $55.3 billion in discretionary spending for the next fiscal year, but it drops funding for the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to $100 million. That has frustrated Comstock, whose district includes Loudoun County, and the rest of the metropolitan Washington, DC, congressional delegation. “Since 2009, under a partnership created by the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act of 2008, Congress has continuously fulfilled its annual commitment of $150 million in funding toward WMATA,” the congresswoman said in a prepared statement. “Unfortunately, the T-HUD Appropriations Bill does not honor that agreement, and therefore I could not support this bill as it stands. I hope, as the appropriations process continues, that the full $150 million will be restored. Congress must meet its $150 million obligation so that Metro can address important safety concerns to keep my constituents safe.” Comstock and her fellow members of the DC-area delegation, all Democrats, tried unsuccessfully last week to get $50 million for Metro back into the House bill. ` In the past, Virginia, Maryland and the
District of Columbia annually contributed $50 million each to match the $150 million yearly federal grant under the Passenger Rail Investment and Improvement Act. The money is used for safety upgrades to Metrorail, according to Comstock’s office, and safety has been a frequent topic of discussion this year after a woman died in January and others were hurt following smoke filling a train at WMATA’s L’Enfant Plaza station. A few hours before the House vote, the DC-area delegation also sent a letter to WMATA Interim General Manager and Chief Executive Officer Jack Requa, demanding immediate action to fix a specific safety issue. A recent National Transportation Safety Board report said some power cable connectors were improperly installed, and that’s a problem, the letter said, especially because the connectors are “in place every few hundred feet along miles of Metro track.” The connectors should have put in with sealing sleeves to ensure that their assemblies are weather-tight and prevent contamination that can lead to a short circuit, which can produce smoke and fire within Metro tunnels. “We are appalled that riders’ lives may have been put at risk simply because a small, yet critical component of the power cable connectors was not installed as required by the manufacturer’s directions and WMATA engineering specifications,” the delegation wrote. “Problems arising from aging infrastructure may be understandable, but WMATA must explain how a failure to follow basic assembly instructions has been allowed to persist.”n

his is a very professional office with a top notch doctor and staff. Although there are qualified doctors closer to where I live, I have been going to Mountcastle for years because of the quality service I receive. I initially went for veins and some procedures were covered by insurance and others considered cosmetic. The doctor and staff explain everything well and with patience. Amy the RN did my veins and she was so expert that I consulted her about other procedures. She has injected Botox, and other products. The result is always fabulous – no one has ever asked if I have had anything done – just remark how great my skin looks. Amy is an artist with a needle! She has also advised me on skin care products at my request. People usually guess my age at 10 years younger. My skin looks healthy. Amy never tries to sell products, she just listens and provides options. Ren H -– yelp review

el. James M. LeMunyon (R-67) on Monday morning toured the Kawasaki assembly line that is making the new 7000-series Metrorail cars. LeMunyon, who represents parts of Loudoun and Fairfax counties, was in Denver over the weekend on other business, so he stopped at the plant in Lincoln, NE, on the way home. “Knowing of the importance of these new train cars to our region’s transportation system, I wanted to see the production firsthand,” LeMunyon said in a prepared statement. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is acquiring 528 new Metro cars during the next two years, and WMATA’s board recently approved a follow order of 220 cars,
LeMunyon’s office said. The Kawasaki plant employs 484 people, the lawmaker said, and appears to be a “very well-run operation.” “I was particularly impressed by the new safety features that are being built into the design of each car as well as the rigorous testing at different steps of the manufacturing process,” LeMunyon said. “The 7000-series cars include a number of new features to improve rider convenience, like display screens showing upcoming stations.” Thirty-six cars already have been delivered to WMATA, LeMunyon’s office said, with four more to leave the assembly plant this week. Metrorail’s Silver Line is expected to arrive in Loudoun in 2019. n

ome House of Delegates races may seem kind of slow with five months until November’s election. But not the 87th District contest. The battle for the 87th, which comprises parts of Loudoun and Prince William counties, has featured the comings and goings of two Republicans, two Democrats and now a Libertarian, Brian Suojanen, who lives in Brambleton. Suojanen boasts a platform that covers topics ranging from the Dulles Greenway to marijuana legalization. And even if he doesn’t win election, he can claim a victory of sorts in just having been able to talk up his political party. The 41-year-old, a software engineer for the Herndon-based K12 Inc. education technology company, has lived in Virginia since 2000 and in Brambleton since 2013. He has been involved with Libertarian politics since 2002, but this year will be the first time his name is printed on an election ballot. He’s one of a handful of Virginia legislative candidates the party is fielding this fall. Suojanen met his campaign manager when she was working on Robert Sarvis’ Libertarian bid for U.S. Senate last year, and they established an official Loudoun County party affiliate. Then news that Republican incumbent David I. Ramadan wasn’t going to run for reelection gave Suojanen the impetus he needed to get in the 87th District race. He spoke well of Ramadan in an interview Monday night, and he now finds himself as part of a three-way race to succeed the incumbent. Republican Chuong Nguyen and Democrat John
Bell are the other hopefuls in the race, having garnered their parties’ nominations last month after Ramadan and Democrat Jewan “Jack” Tiwari decided not to run. Suojanen said he wants to further the profile of the Libertarian Party and highlight its ideas, which he called more modern than those of the two major parties. The party isn’t going away anytime soon, he said: “We’re in fact growing.” It’s also important, he said, for voters to know that, while national figures such as Republican U.S. Sen. Rand Paul may be referred to as “libertarians” (with a small “L”), they don’t necessarily jibe with the Libertarian Party’s platform. For example, Paul has a good record on civil liberties and fiscal responsibility, Suojanen said, but he veers to the right of Libertarians on social issues. On the other hand, the 87th District hopeful said he would follow his party by endorsing notions such as gun rights and the right of homosexual couples to marry. He supports marijuana legalization, and he said he would back school choice by filing legislation to provide tax credits to parents who home-school their children or send them to private school. The two biggest issues in the 87th specifically are education and traffic congestion, he said. On the former, in addition to his comments on school choice, Suojanen said that teachers need to be paid more and that his work experience has shown him how education dollars could be stretched. On the latter, he would push for distance-based pricing on the Dulles Greenway. Suojanen is married and has a 5-year-old daughter. n

in April. At Dulles Airport, anemia continues to reign, based on newly released passenger figures. Combine the two, and the total passenger count of 3.8 million in April was up 4 percent from a year before—slightly less than the national average of 4.3 percent—according to figures reported June 16 by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. The 2,005,477 passengers using Reagan National during the month represent a yearover-year increase of 9.5 percent, bringing the year-to-date passenger count up 8.7 percent from 2014 figures. At Dulles, April’s passenger total of 1,771,008 was down 1.7 percent from a year before, with the year-to-date total down 3.3 percent. Combined, the two airports saw 13.2 million passengers during the first four months of the year, an increase of 2.7 percent. That’s below the 3.7-percent increase reported nationally by the trade group Airlines for America. Reagan National is benefiting from rapid growth from Southwest, Virgin America and JetBlue, which have picked up takeoff and landing slots from the merged American/US Airways. American/US Airways remains dominant, however, accounting for a market share of 51.7 percent at the airport in April. Rounding out the top five carriers in total passengers were Delta and Southwest (each 13.2 percent), JetBlue (8.1 percent) and United (7.9 percent). Despite cutbacks, United retains its dominance at Dulles, with a market share of 62.5 percent in April. Trailing were American/US Airways (4.9 percent), Delta (4.5 percent), Frontier (3 percent) and Southwest (2.6 percent). At Baltimore-Washington International Airport, which is operated by Maryland’s state government, April’s passenger count of 2.02 million was up 5.6 percent from a year before, according to MWAA figures. Southwest is the dominant carrier, with a market share of 72.3 percent. For full data, go to mwaa.com. n

in life to get the tools they need. They can receive feedback and thoughts, and have a place to live.” Completing construction in two years is Fortier’s goal, and she envisions 10 beds for women, 10 beds for men and five for women who are pregnant. She said that, although Loudoun ranks among the richest counties in the country, there are still many families and children who suffer from poverty. “This also helps increase awareness of this problem because people don’t believe it happens or that it exists here,” Fortier said. “I would have loved to have it built yesterday because it would be filled.” The ordinance change will first go to Leesburg Planning Commission for consideration, and a Town Council public hearing will follow in early fall.

Turgeon To Seek Second School Board Term Danielle Nadler

ill Turgeon, the Loudoun County School Board’s vice chairwoman, will seek re-election this November. Turgeon, a former elementary school teacher, has represented the Blue Ridge District on the board since 2012, and she is running unopposed. In a statement announcing her campaign, she listed several initiatives she helped set in motion during her first term, many of which she said she wants to continue working on for at least another four years. She had a hand in selecting the county’s new school superintendent, Eric Williams, and she said she “looks forward to continuing to work with him in developing responsible budgets and ensuring that the needs of the school system are adequately met.” Turgeon also was appointed by Virginia’s secretary of education to serve on a select committee to develop the SOL Reform Bill, which became law last year. She served on several School Board panels, including the Charter Committee, Personnel Committee and the Academies of Loudoun Ad Hoc Committee. She chairs the board’s Curriculum and Instruction Committee. The 44-year-old is married to a Loud-

sion rate. She said providing more support for students through mentorship programs or by encouraging them to get involved in their school communities may be the solution. “I think the more kids are involved in their school outside of the regular classes, the more likely they are to do better in their classes,” she said. “I really want us to put an emphasis on early intervention for at-risk youth.” Huck is excited about the opening of the Academies of Loudoun and would like to explore ideas for other specialized instruction for students, maybe in the form of law or business academies. “There’s a lot of opportunity to reach beyond the current offerings,” she said. Huck, 37, and her husband, Aaron, live in Brambleton and have two children: Caleb, a rising freshman at Rock Ridge High School, and Ella, a rising sixth-grader at Stone Hill Middle School.

ormer early childhood educator Beth Huck has entered the race for the Loudoun County School Board’s At Large seat. She faces former Loudoun school administrator Stephan F. Knobloch in the race. Thomas E. Reed, who’s held the seat for 16 years, is not seeking re-election. Huck said she’s eager to represent her stakeholders—the kids of Loudoun—on the School Board and bring with her what she’s learned as an early childhood educator and a parent of two Loudoun County Public Schools students. She’s also served as the chairwoman of the Loudoun County Youth Advisory Commission for the past three years. “I feel I can come onto the board with fresh eyes and grounded and realistic expectations, and as an advocate for what’s best for our children to make sure we are providing the best educational opportunities to all children in Loudoun County,” Huck said. She taught early childhood education for several years before an autoimmune disorder caused her to frequently catch whatever bug her students’ had. For the past five years she’s worked as the community lifestyle manager for Brambleton Community Association, a position she left this month to focus on her events business, Flip Switch Events. Among her priorities for Loudoun’s public schools, Huck said she wants to reduce overcrowding and classroom sizes, and push for a clear plan and timeline to implement full-day kindergarten countywide. She’d also like to brainstorm ways to curb the school system’s suspen-

School Board Chairman Unopposed In Re-election Bid Danielle Nadler

ric Hornberger is seeking a second term on the Loudoun County School Board, which he’s chaired for the past three and a half years. Hornberger beat out four other candidates to win the Ashburn District seat when it was newly created in 2011. He is running unopposed this time around. In a statement announcing his re-election, Hornberger highlighted his efforts to reduce classroom sizes and address overcrowding in Ashburn schools by bringing what was called the “three school solution” to fruition. Before he was elected, Hornberger was one of the parent activists who urged school and county leaders to solve the overcrowding problem by opening an elementary school (Discovery Elementary, opened in 2013), middle school (Trailside Middle, opened in 2014) and high school (Riverside High, set to open in August). “The residents of the Ashburn District finally have the neighborhood schools they need to bring lasting stability to our community,” Hornberger said in a statement announcing his re-election bid. “We need to continue ensuring that our children receive the best possible educational opportunities to maximize their potential well into the future, and that our public schools continue to bring lasting value to the community.” Hornberger lauded his work with county supervisors to gain approval and funding for the previously stalled Academies of Loudoun, which will combine an expanded C.S. Monroe Technology Center, the Academy of Science, and a new Academy of Engineering

and Technology. Under his leadership, the School Board also hired a new superintendent, Eric Williams, for the first time in 23 years. The change in leadership has resulted in improved collaboration among board members and school system administration, leading to better budget and educational outcomes for students, Hornberger said. His priorities for a second term include continuing to reduce class sizes, improving the quality of math instruction and preparing to implement the One to the World, Bring Your Own Technology initiative, as well as the school system’s strategic plan to better equip students for college and the workforce. Hornberger, 47, is the executive director for The Mustard Seed Foundation, a private family foundation based in Falls Church. He and his wife have lived in Ashburn Farm for 22 years. They have three children; two attend Loudoun public schools, and the other is a recent Stone Bridge High School graduate. n

Purcellville Real Estate, Sewer Rates Hiked Margaret Morton
T

he Purcellville Town Council approved an amended $18.6 million FY16 Budget and Capital Improvements Program during its June 9 meeting. The vote was 6-1-0, with Mayor Kwasi Fraser opposed. The mayor objected to the halfcent increase in the property tax rate, and also to maintaining the Fireman’s Field tax and the meals tax—both of which were unchanged from the previous year.
The budget includes a $9.8 million general fund—down for the third year in a row—as well as a $549,000 Parks and Recreation fund, $3.4 million water fund, and $3.7 million sewer fund. The council also approved $1.1 million to fund capital projects. The approvals came after a lengthy debate on water and sewer rates. Previously, the town’s utility rate consultant, Municipal Financial & Services Group, in conjunction with town financial consultant Davenport and Company, had developed a water and sewer rate plan. MSFG also was authorized to make an annual review of the plan performance for the next five years.
That review cited two positive factors: the town’s double-A and triple-A bond ratings received last year that allowed it to restructure its water and sewer debt service, and projected additional availability revenues from new connections. Based on those findings, MSFG and Davenport recommended no increase for FY16 and a 3 percent increase in FY17. At the request of the council, MSFG also showed the impact of a 3 percent increase for water and a 5 percent increase for sewer. The views of council members on the issue were all over the board.
“We look at the rates every year and the Davenport Report shows five years down the road we’re good. By FY20, it’s not so good, and the next five years after, it’s not good for sewer,” Councilman Patrick McConville said. Utility rates were lowered 3 percent last year by the previous council. Councilman Doug McCollum and Councilwoman Joan Lehr, who said she voted against that measure, were in favor of adding the 3 percent back in. McCollum reminded his colleagues of the $1.4 million balloon payment that would come due in FY20 and FY21. Continued on Next Page

he Purcellville Town Council chamber erupted in cheers after Cynthia A. McAlister took the oath of office June 9 to become the town’s new police chief. The town has had a police force since its incorporation in 1908, and McAlister is the sixth chief in modern day accounting, although the department was headed by police sergeants in its early days. She is the first woman to hold the post in the town—and the first to lead a law enforcement agency in Loudoun. The Fairfax Police Department major brings a wealth of experience to the job. She was selected in a unanimous vote by the town’s selection committee from among 54 applicants from federal, state and local law enforcement agencies from across the country.
McAlister holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from George Mason University and has 33 years of experience in law enforcement. In a statement welcoming McAlister to the town in May, Mayor Kwasi Fraser also cited her enthusiasm and commitment to community policing. The latter qualification is an important attribute in Purcellville, where her predecessor, retired Chief Darryl C. Smith Sr., emphasized the importance for his officers to interact with the community. During Smith’s near decade heading the Purcellville Police Department, he introduced a number of successful community programs, including a homework club for students and various events for town residents. McAlister formally started her duties Monday, with one immediate benefit. Her commute just got significantly shorter as she and her family have lived just south of Purcellville for the past decade. n

• After emerging from closed session at the end of its June 9 meeting, the Purcellville Town Council voted to appoint former mayor and attorney Eric Zimmerman to the Purcellville town Board of Zoning Appeals. He will fill the unexpired term of Mike Peery, ending Oct. 1. The council had interviewed Zimmerman, federal law enforcement officer Bill Lynch and corporate and nonprofit consultant Dan Shaughnessy earlier that evening. A fourth candidate, Kelly Grim, was interviewed in a prior session. The council voted 4-2-1 to appoint Zimmerman. Dissenting were Councilwoman Karen Jimmerson and Mayor Kwasi Fraser, who said he was concerned about conflicts of interest. Vice Mayor John Nave abstained as he was not present for the interviews. Earlier, during the interview, Zimmerman had been questioned about his representation of developers and whether he could be impartial. The former mayor said in 40 years of legal practice he had represented people in just about all walks of life. The BZA will hear the appeal by Mary Ellen Stover challenging the validity of permits issued for the Vineyard Square project.
The appeal is scheduled for July 1. • The West End Wine Bar & Pub, set to open this summer west of the Loudoun Golf & Country Club on Rt. 7, has scored a notable coup as it prepares to open this summer— hiring Justin Garrison as its executive chef. Garrison was formerly executive chef at The Wine Kitchen in Leesburg and WK Hearth in Purcellville. “The addition of Justin is a significant step in the development of The West End to achieve our vision of becoming a truly fine dining experience,” Brenda Daeschner, coowner and executive manager of the West End Wine Bar & Pub, stated in an email. Garrison had served as executive chef at both the Wine Kitchen restaurants since their beginnings and appreciated having a similar function in another new restaurant. “I am extremely excited to bring my skill and passion to The West End and deeply believe in its vision,” he stated. The West End, formerly the Purcellville Inn and Stonewall’s Tavern, will feature small plate offerings as well as a variety of fine wines and craft beers. For more information, contact Daeschner at bdaeschner@westendwinebarpub.com or go to westendwinebarpub.com. • Baltimore, MD-based lead charcutier Marc Pauvert at the Four Seasons Hotel will return
to western Loudoun on Sunday, July 5 to give a butchering demonstration for Spring House Farm. His 3 p.m. demonstration showing tricks of the meat-cutting industry is part of a Neersville “Dinner on the Farm” event that will include local delicacies, cocktails and dinner at 4 p.m. The Neersville property is located at 37020 Bittersweet Lane amidst wineries and the Short Hill Mountain. The VIP ticket of $130 includes Pauvert’s butchery demonstration, cocktails, featuring WhistlePig Straight Rye Whiskey, and local wines. General admission is $100 a head for cocktails and dinner with various pairings starts at 4 p.m. Early reservations are encouraged online at springhouse.farm. Patrons must be 21 years old to attend. • Motorists driving along Broad Way are reminded to obey traffic control measures in place as storm water line installation continues along the roadway. A notice from the town alerts motorists there may be short delays and that they should follow the flaggers’ traffic directions. Mayor Bob Zoldos said in Lovettsville his weekly email to residents that there have been several recent incidents where motorists have driven past the flag-
ger who had asked them to stop—driving into an unsafe work zone. “We ask everyone to be patient when waiting to travel through the area,” Zoldos wrote, adding the flaggers and work crews will endeavor to get motorists through the areas as quickly as possible. • The town’s upcoming Independence Day celebration will be held Friday, July 3 at the Old Stone School. The event kicks off with the second of four seasonal outdoor farm markets at 4 p.m. At 6 p.m., the Independence Day festivities get going inside and outside the school. The celebration includes live music by the Franklin Park Big Band, a performance by the Blue Hillsboro Ridge Thunder Cloggers, food trucks—including Cured, 3 Barrels 4 YNO and GK’s BBQ—free ice cream donated by Hill Tom Market and Dot Shetterly, games face painting and glitter tattoos. There also will be an opportunity to make a square for a quilt that Joshua’s Hands will give to wounded service men and women. The event closes with fireworks. There will be a fee for some activities and donations are requested to help offset the $7,900 cost of the fireworks. Volunteers are also needed.

He said the town’s strong bond ratings depend on steady operations. “We’d have to pay that off with reserves in the water fund, but first we’d have to create the reserves,” he said, stressing that “the value of our credit ratings can’t be overrated.” Lehr agreed with the need to build reserves— and she favored doing it sooner rather than later. “We do have to maintain enough to reinvest in infrastructure and put money away,” she said, advocating the 3 percent in water and 5 percent sewer raise option. “What we did last year hurt us. … We need to think long term.” Councilman Ben Packard noted the town’s pilot project to sell water to commercial vendors— that has brought in about $12,000 in two months— and agreed there needed to be predictability in the funds to plan for the balloon payment. Citing the consultants’ projections of 40 new connections each year, Packard said he was nervous as to whether they would be realized. “By FY20/21 we’ll be in deficit on sewer,” he said. Councilwoman Karen Jimmerson noted various parcels that are likely to be developed and as business recovers there would be more restaurants—heavy water users—opening up. “It’s not an easy decision—there are a lot of factors affecting us over the next few years,” she
said. Fraser placed considerable reliance on the possible future of the water sales and asked if those revenues could be used to help fund the town’s sewage treatment operations. But Director of Finance Elizabeth Krens said the water revenues could only be for water uses. Fraser said he could live with the sewer rate increase, but disagreed with raising water rates. “We cannot go on blindly just because we’re nervous about 20/21,” he said, suggesting a yearly income of $130,000 from water sales could become $175,000. “Let’s not depend on how things were run before—the citizens have had enough.” Lehr and McCollum, however, said a budget decision should not be based on two months of receipts from the town’s pilot water sales program. “Let’s wait to see how it works, then make adjustments to the long-term goals,” Lehr said. But Vice Mayor John Nave advised against being too conservative and suggested the water sales project be considered. “I’m not willing to put the burden on residents when we have the opportunity to raise money,” he said. Lehr’s motion to raise water rates by 3 percent and sewer rates by 5 percent failed 2-5-0. Packard resolved the impasse with a motion to hold water rates unchanged and to raise sewer rates by 5 percent. The motion passed 5-2, with Lehr and McCollum dissenting. n

he small village of Unison is planning special events the weekend of June 20-21 to reflect on its Civil War history and celebrate its community spirit. On Saturday, the Unison Preservation Society invites everyone to join the dedication of a new sign describing the 1862 Battle of Unison that, through the work of the society, has been recognized to be of national significance in recent years. The new sign will be dedicated during a ceremony at the old Unison Store—now the village community center—beginning at 11 a.m. David Edwards, regional manager of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources, will speak, as will Del. Randy Minchew (R-10) and Paul Hodge of Unison. Following the ceremony, a plaque will be installed on the 1870s Unison Store, to commemorate its donation to the society by philanthropist Betsee Parker last year. The Virginia Department of Historic Resources sign describes the efforts of Confederate Gen. J.E.B. Stuart and a small band of cavalrymen who successfully held up for three crucial days, Nov. 1-3, the advance of Gen. George McClellan’s Army of the Potomac in pursuit of Gen. Robert E. Lee, as he retreated southward after the Battle of Antietam. Stuart’s men and their general managed to delay the advancing Union forces long enough that Lee was able to march down the western side of the Blue Ridge and escape the trap. McClellan’s failure to swiftly follow President Abraham Lincoln’s order to pursue Lee led to his removal from command. The significance of Stuart’s role in that failure has been recognized by the National Park Service—a recognition that led to the creation in
2011 of the 8,000-acre Unison National Battlefield Historic District, which is listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places. Unison is one of the oldest communities in Loudoun, dating back to the late 18th century. The town was officially named Union when it was established in 1813, after having previously been cited as Greenville and Butterland. In 1829, the village name was changed to Unison. Present-day denizens are fiercely proud of their village and its history. The Unison Preservation Society has been at the forefront of efforts to preserve the village and its history, including the establishment of the Unison Village Historic District. Unison is also located in the county’s Beaverdam Creek Historic Roadways District, created in 2002. The society, which was founded in 2001 in part to help save the Unison Store—then threatened with demolition—is now the proud owner of the store. Builder Coe Eldrege had purchased the store and restored it to National Park Service historic standards of rehabilitation. Parker bought the property last year and gave it to the preservation society for use as a community center and village green. On Sunday, everyone is invited to enjoy the opening salvo of the 2015 Music on the Green jazz concerts. Charles Groves and his band will entertain his audience with lively jazz, beginning at 4 p.m. Light refreshments also will be served and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs, children, dogs, food and drink. Donations are requested to help offset costs. Contributions may be made to the Unison Preservation Society, P.O. Box 606, Middleburg, VA 20118, with “Music on the Green” noted on checks.

Catoctin Elementary Assistant Principal Benjamin Chiet speeds down the paint-covered slip and slide to celebrate the end of the school year and the students’ efforts to raise $3,625 through General Mills’ Box Tops for Education program.
ith hundreds of students watching, Catoctin Elementary School Assistant Principal Benjamin Chiet, donned in business attire, announced over a microphone that he was nervous to go down a slip and slide covered in multi-colored paint. “Do it, do it!” the students screamed on Monday afternoon. By the time Chiet flew down the wet tarp for the fifth time he was covered head to toe in paint, and the students roared in approval. Chiet took part in the year-end festivity after Catoctin Elementary raised $3,625 through General Mills’ Box Tops for Education program. Each box top gathered from General Mills products equals a 10-cent donation for the school, and the school accumulated 36,255 of them. “That’s a sign of how responsible you guys are,” Chiet told the students. Out of 85 schools within 10 miles, Catoctin Elementary raised the second-highest amount of money through the program, just behind Mill Run Elementary School in Ashburn. Out of 2,318 schools in the state, Catoctin was ranked 27th. n

School Board OKs $2.2M MoreTo Cover Broad Run Renovations

s promised, Broad Run High School’s extensive renovation project will be done in full, and school leaders will divert money from the operations budget to make it happen. The Loudoun County School Board gave the green light June 9 to use $2.2 million in FY15 year-end fund balance to help bridge the gap between the $26.47 million budgeted for the project and the actual cost. Members of the Broad Run school community feared the 46-year-old building’s renovation project would be scaled down after initial bids came in several million dollars over budget. School administrators re-bid a trimmed-down version of the proj-
ect—without some of the interior work and improvements to the auditorium—and, last month, awarded the contract to Gaithersburg, MDbased Henley Construction for $18.9 million. The additional $2.2 million will come from unallocated funds expected to be left over when the current fiscal year ends June 30. That money will cover the cost of interior finishes and auditorium renovation, according to Director of Construction Services Gary VanAlstyne. “This motion does allow us to move forward with the full scope of the project,” School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said. “We’re just doing it in creative ways to be able to afford it.” Construction is slated to take place while students are out of school this summer and next summer and wrap up in August 2016. n

Charter School To Retain Management Of Principals, School Board Rules LT (Sterling), who was not present at the work session, has said she supports the staff’s recommendation because it would ensure that a non-school division employee is not overseeing division employees and students. “We saw some critical things missed at Middleburg this year, and to ensure that that principal is accountable and that school as a whole is accountable that principal must report as a Loudoun County public employee,” she said during the June 9 regular board meeting. The School Board also took straw votes on other changes to the charter school’s three-year contract, most of which were initiated by the school’s board of directors. School Board members agreed to shift the responsibility for English Language Learner services to the school division with the cost funded by the charter school, and to initiate a regional hub transportation model paid for by LCPS from per pupil assessment installments. The revised contract, which will likely be approved at the board’s June 23 meeting, will
serve as a blueprint for the proposed Hillsboro Charter Academy and any future Loudoun County charter schools. The full board was presented with the 226page application for Hillsboro Charter Academy Tuesday, after a committee of the board worked months with the applicants to fine-tune their proposal. A public hearing on the charter application is planned for Tuesday, June 23 at 6:30 p.m. at the School Administration Building, 21000 Education Court in Ashburn. Interested speakers are encouraged to sign up by 4 p.m. that day by calling 571-252-1020. The board is slated to vote on whether to approve the application that evening. If approved, Hillsboro Charter Academy will open in August of 2016 as a kindergarten through fifth grade school with an emphasis on STEAM (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics). Any Loudoun County student can apply, and enrollment will be chosen through a lottery system. n

But several folks have come to School Board meetings over the past few weeks to urge board members to name the school after Mathias Giordano, a Loudoun student who died of bone cancer Dec. 7 at the age of 13.

he Loudoun County School Board reaffirmed its support for the traditional charter school model last week. In a unanimous straw vote of seven members present at a June 11 work session, the board agreed that Middleburg Community Charter School’s principal should serve as an employee of the school’s board of directors, not of Loudoun County Public Schools. That goes against school division senior staff’s recommendation to require that the principal be an employee of the division, a suggestion made after a rough first year with the county’s first charter school. Its first principal, a Canadian citizen, was denied a teaching license in Virginia and later denied re-entry into the United States. The school also was accused by parents of not adequately providing services to students learning English.
Tim Flynn, director of Instructional Services who was the go-to staff member to handle many of the Middleburg charter school’s mishaps, said the administration team recommended that charter principals serve as division employees because it allows the school system to “ensure the school is in compliance.” That’s how the only other elementary charter school in Virginia operates. The principal of Patrick Henry School of Science and Arts serves as an employee of Richmond Public Schools, according to that school division’s Public Information Office. However, School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said during the special meeting held on the matter that requiring the principal to report to the school division administration eliminates the flexibility that makes the charter school model unique. “What differentiates a charter school is essentially its management,” he said. Most other board members agreed. School Board member Brenda Sheridan

Nikolas Moore, a sixth-grader at Seneca Ridge Middle School, quietly held a bouquet of flowers for his older brother, Joseph

fter years of planning and construction, and weeks of quiet operation, Loudoun’s newest farm brewery is gearing up for a busy summer season. Dirt Farm Brewing is located on a 100acre tract high on the Blue Ridge near Bluemont and serves up sweeping views of the Loudoun Valley along with brews that use ingredients—hops, grain and cherries—grown on the property.
Business In Brief • The Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce advanced three spots in the most recent rankings of chambers in the Washington metro area, surpassing the Reston, Prince William County and Arlington County chambers. The Loudoun chamber currently ranks fifth in the region and second in Virginia. The Loudoun chamber ranked higher in total membership or total revenue than every other organization with the exception of the DC Chamber, the largest overall chamber in the region. The Loudoun chamber experienced significant growth last year, attributable in part to the success of the #UniteLoudoun membership campaign and the significant growth of the Public Policy, Business Women, and Health & Wellness initiatives. “Being a top five chamber in the DC metro region is rooted entirely of the success of our members,” President and CEO Tony Howard said. “They are our committee chairs, volunteer leaders, sponsors, and active participants in all of our programs and initiatives. When our members achieve personal and professional success through the chamber, they are able to impact our community in a multitude of positive ways.” The rankings, published by the Washington Business Journal each year, are based on the total revenue for each organization as published on the Form 990.
It is the latest offering from Loudoun’s most progressive agritourism family. The brewery overlooks the Zurschmeide family’s popular Great Country Farms and shares the ridge with its Bluemont Winery. Owners Bruce and Janell Zurschmeide moved into the fast-growing craft beer business eight years after launching the winery in partnership with Bob and Kevin Rupy. They’ve found a friendly and helpful reception from other pioneers in Loudoun’s farm-brewing industry. Janell Zurschmeide said she already has

Paul Beckwith, president and CEO of the Leesburg-based company, said he was expecting it would take months for the application to be reviewed. But an approval letter dated May 22 officially opened a new service that his company can provide. “We’re now in the formal drone arena and held to operating accordance,” Beckwith said. “We have a lot to do, obviously. We don’t have any work yet.” The next step is to sign contracts with interested businesses that would use the drone service, and Beckwith said there are some interested parties. • The Leesburg branch of Farm Credit, a customer-owned financial cooperative, is paying just more than $1.3 million in cash to its customers in the form of a patronage dividend. The dividend was mailed to customers in April and June. As a cooperative, Farm Credit distributes a portion of its profits to its custom-
ers. Because of excellent earnings for 2014, the board of directors declared that in addition to the regular patronage dividend, which typically represents 12 percent of the amount of interest paid on loans in a given year, a second “special” patronage dividend also would be paid totaling another 12 percent, bringing the total patronage dividend to just more than $21 million. Since 2001, Farm Credit of the Virginias has paid more than $183 million in patronage dividends to its customer-owners. The Leesburg branch is at 27 Fort Evans Road. • Randy Collins, former CEO of the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce and a 20-year resident of Leesburg, is leaving the area to lead another chamber of commerce. Collins was selected as the president and CEO of the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce, in Mount Airy, NC. Collins was chosen after a nationwide search of more than 100 applicants. He was to begin the position Monday. Collins served as the CEO of the Loudoun chamber from 1995 to 2006. He also served as a staff leader for chambers in Winchester, Front Royal, Lynchburg and Fairfax County. • Catoctin Creek Distillery in Purcellville has received a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence award.

Jill Evans-Kavaldjian:
Celebrating Nature’s Bounty At Garden Corner Jan Mercker
J
jmercker@leesburgtoday.com
ill Evans-Kavaldjian has a passion for the fruits of the earth and appreciation of the charm of everyday objects. They populate her luminous still-life paintings and lighthearted prints. Evans-Kavaldjian opens her studio, At Garden Corner, in the tiny village of Morrisonville south of Lovettsville to the public June 20 and 21 as part of the 10th annual Western Loudoun Artists Studio Tour. Evans-Kavaldjian, her husband, Haig, and their daughters, Aislin and Nora, now in their 20s, have been fixtures in Lovettsville for nearly two decades. Evans-Kavaldjian grew up in Falls Church and studied painting and printmaking at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. She got her first graphic design job in Arlington in
the late 1980s doing paste-up page layout work for a news analysis consultancy. In the course of her graphic design work, she began doing impromptu editing for the company and was later hired as a news analyst and writer before moving on to a position as editor and graphic designer for Arlington County’s senior adult newsletter. Evans-Kavaldjian, Haig and their young daughters moved to Lovettsville in 1997 where they bought a fixer-upper on the town’s main street, with Evans-Kavaldjian commuting and telecommuting to her job in Arlington. But she decided to shift gears in the early 2000s; she earned a teaching certificate from Shepherd University and took a job as a preschool teacher at Lovettsville Community Center, where she implemented an arts-and-nature-based curriculum. Evans-Kavaldjian then was hired to run the Bluemont Concert Series’ Artists-InEducation program, where she was in charge
of helping the nonprofit bring arts programs to local schools. But as a working mother of young children, Evans-Kavaldjian put her art on the back burner in the ’90s. “When my kids were little, there wasn’t a lot of art activity. Just a few pieces a year. I’ll never forget: I was working on a drawing and one of my kids found it, and I went to pull it out and it was drawn all over,” she said with a laugh. By the early 2000s, though, as her girls started school, she began ramping up her own work. The timing coincided with the family’s move to Morrisonville, a few miles outside Lovettsville. Home to a number of other visual artists, the village was a perfect fit, allowing the family to remain part of the broader Lovettsville community but also to have more space. The property included a garage that Evans-Kavaldjian turned into a dedicated studio.
The move also brought Evans-Kavaldjian closer to Potomac Vegetable Farms in Wheatland, run by her friend Ellen Polishuk. A decade ago, Polishuk often found herself short-staffed in the early part of the season before college student employees returned for the summer. Evans-Kavaldjian began helping Polishuk with planting and transplanting vegetables and also encouraged her friend to open a farm stand on Rt. 287 (PVF was already operating a popular stand in Fairfax County). Evans-Kavaldjian still takes a shift at the stand when needed. That farm—and her own abundant Continued on Page 44

Committee, visitors can expect a weekend of inspiration and one-on-one interaction with the artists. To mark the 10th anniversary, WLAST will feature a few special events, including a partnership between artists and area businesses in a public art project based on the tour’s now-iconic symbol of the human hand. The colorful hand sculptures, decorated by tour artists and volunteers, will be on display at various locations around the county. “There’s been tremendous community and business support this year. We have many sponsors, and Visit Loudoun has been a tremendous help,” Manson said. The committee has changed some
of its promotion of the event, including “educating people about how to take the tour,” she said. Organizers also connected artists with peers in their particular area: “Sort of, ‘Here are your neighboring artists,’” Manson said. The anniversary celebration is expected to draw thousands of visitors to view the work of artists at 35 sites dotted around western Loudoun. During the past decade, the event has drawn visitors from 70 different communities and 11 states. A particular draw for the public is being able to talk to artists in the studios where they work. n

oudoun’s singer-songwriter scene is booming, and the Acoustic on the Green concert series hosts one of the godfathers of that movement when Sterling’s Cal Everett takes the stage Saturday.
Everett, who toured nationally as lead vocalist for beloved Washington, DC, pop band 4 Out Of 5 Doctors in the ’80s, is a favorite among local musicians. Everett now lives in Sterling and operates a restaurant, but he still performs regularly as a solo artist and in numerous collaborations. He returns to AOTG for the fourth time Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Town Green, 25 W. Market St. in downtown Leesburg. The concert is free. Lawn chairs or blankets are recommended. No pets or alcoholic beverages are allowed. Free parking is available in the Town Hall Parking Garage. The concert series runs every Saturday night, except July 4, through Aug. 29.

rammy-winning singer-songwriter Shelby Lynne brings her expressive voice and altcountry style to the Tally Ho Theatre on Friday, June 19. Lynne is known for her 1999 album, “I Am Shelby Lynne,” which earned her a Best New Artist Grammy in 2001. Her song “Dreamsome” from that album was featured in the film “Bridget Jones’s Diary.” Since then, she has released a Dusty Springfield tribute album, a Christmas album and a number of other records but failed to replicate the success of her breakthrough. However, her country/soul-influenced 13th album, “I Can’t Imagine,” released last month on Rounder Records, is garnering positive reviews from national critics and may represent a resurgence for the 46-year-old artist. Tickets for the fully seated show are $30 in advance, $35 day of show. Doors open at 8 p.m. For more information, go to tallyholeesburg.com.

garden—have been a rich source of inspiration for the painter, who has an eye for the vibrant colors of fruits and vegetables. At this weekend’s Western Loudoun Artists Studio Tour, she’ll showcase paintings of cherry tomatoes and yellow squash inspired by a shift at the farm stand, as well as a charming farm ABC series, focusing on various aspects of farm life including vegetables, buildings, equipment and pollinators. Like the iconic post-impressionist Paul Cezanne, she’s drawn to the geometric, almost abstract elements of the still life. “When I was in school, my paintings were rather abstract, and I think they still have some of that quality: the shapes and the light and the shadows. They’re almost geometric,” she said. “I’m drawn to fruits and vegetables. … It’s kind of static, but there’s a lot going on if you pay attention.” The act of painting can be meditative for Evans-Kavaldjian and requires a dedicated chunk of time. “I’m a very slow painter, a very contemplative painter,” she said. “It’s hard to get to that
and plan them and draw them out bit by bit and then carve the block,” she said. “It can be compartmentalized into different tasks: the planning, the carving, the printing and the framing.” Her paintings and prints appeal to different visitors for different reasons. “There’s definitely a sense of humor” in the prints, she said. “They’re more hip and modern and more fun.” Evans-Kavaldjian participated in the second edition of WLAST as a visitor in 2006, and applied to exhibit the following year. She’s been welcoming visitors to her studio ever since. She will host the tour this year with a fellow artist, ceramicist Amy Manson, as a coexhibitor in her studio. And while her own work is a big part of her life, Evans-Kavaldjian also has made promoting other Loudoun artists a focus. Since 2012, she has been director of the Round Hill Arts Center, located near the Hill High Country Store, west of the town. She oversees the nonprofit’s growing education program, which includes classes in the visual and performing arts for adults and children. And last year, she became president of the Loudoun Arts Council. “I’m a great supporter of the arts, and the thread that’s winding through all of my different jobs and careers is that,” she said. n Jill Evans-Kavaldjian will open her studio for the Western Loudoun Artists Studio Tour June 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with ceramicist Amy Manson. Evans-Kavaldjian and Manson will do collaborative, interactive demos at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. both days. The studio is at 38615 Morrisonville Road.

Unplug A Bit
T
he graduating class of 2015 not only is Loudoun’s largest, but also among the first to grow up entirely in the Internet age.
Remember, when most of today’s seniors were
born, America Online was just moving its opera-
tions to Ashburn, and mailboxes were being filled with CDs that would allow computers to access the information superhighway (at all the speed a 9600-baud modem would permit.) It’s likely that their parents didn’t yet have personal email addresses or carry cellphones.
Today’s Internet does way more than just delivering that once-
cool “you’ve got mail” alert. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, selfie-sticks and scores of other innovations have all occurred as the graduates moved from kindergarten to high school.
Adding to the sage advice heard during this week’s graduation
ceremonies, we offer this: Yes, work hard and study hard, but also take time to unplug from time to time.
Also, your parents are glad they didn’t take photos of every-
thing they did at your age; think about that before posting your life to time’s fastest growing history archive.
Congratulations, and good luck to all.

W
e have all heard the term, “Greatest Generation,” which describes those Americans who fought for freedom 70-plus years ago and won. My dad was one of those men. He was wounded in France while carrying another wounded soldier to safety. My dad’s arms froze below the elbow during that harsh blizzard in the Bulge mountains, and was told both arms would have to be amputated if he wanted to live. He told the doctors he would rather die. He survived and so did his hands and arms, although for many years he applied thick lotion to his hands every night.

Next Week’s Question: How will you spend your summer?
I try not to think about this upcoming Father’s Day. It will be the first one in my life without my dad. He suffered a massive stroke and, after his initial treatment in Inova Loudoun Hospital, he was transferred to the VA hospital in Martinsburg. WV. He went there for years and thought highly of that facility. During the past two weeks of my dad’s life, I drove to Martinsburg every day. The long-term care unit has bright, airy common rooms and a large glass aviary containing nesting pairs of African finches, and along one wall is a huge freshwater aquarium, donated and maintained by members of a veteran’s motorcycle club. A courtyard has a koi pond with water lilies that were just coming into bloom, back in late April. When my dad died, I was halfway to Martinsburg to visit him and

O OPINION pinio n
Dear Editor: I read your article on “Regional Leaders Praise Rt. 28 Work Slated To Help 125,000 Drivers Daily,” and I believe the county and state are still failing at providing any real relief to our communities. Living in Ashburn since 2003, I have seen the county expand at unprecedented levels with no significant work being properly planned and coordinated to address the hemorrhaging of cars on our local roads. While I commend some of the improvements, Rt. 28 going north from I-66 to Rt. 7, especially between the Dulles Toll Road and Waxpool is clogged and an embarrassment for our county and state. The building and zoning within the county, which allows multiple townhouse and singlefamily houses on one acre, is unsustainable and needs to be stopped. Builders have been allowed to recklessly build huge developments with very little support to the infrastructure. Several months ago, I made calls to the governor’s office and VDOT. I learned that VDOT admitted the Waxpool interchange was a failure. During my phone call with a VDOT executive, I also highlighted that the flashing sign has not worked in more than five years. The VDOT
Dear Editor: Over the past few years, I have become overly concerned with the lifeguards hired for our local pools. My pool in northeast Exeter Leesburg has been hiring outside foreign teenagers, I believe from the Ukraine. Last week, when picking up our pool passes, I noticed one of the lifeguards wearing a shirt that read in large letters “EAT, SLEEP, F…” We informed the pool management, and they were quick to respond and apologize for the incident. Teens being teens is understandable; however the language barrier is of most concern to me. These lifeguards hardly speak any English and understand even less English. When giving an address, they stare with a blank face asking “What” several times. In an emergency situation, when they have to relay to the authorities how will they be able to give a description of the victim when calling 911? (Drowning, Blood Pressure, Do thewy have a pulse, Type of injury, etc.) Are there no American teenagers willing or able to take these jobs? Back in the day, lifeguard was a prestigious job for not only a teenager but for anyone. The position came with respect and responsibility.

a doctor called with the news. They waited until I arrived so I could say my goodbyes and spend some time with him before he was moved from his room. The Veterans Administration has gotten a lot of bad press lately, but from what I saw, the hospital and the staff at Martinsburg deserve nothing but praise. They truly are a class act. The nurses were compassionate, and the doctors were kind. Not a one was condescending or too professional to be human. My dad’s body was covered with an American flag as he was wheeled out of his room, and all staffers present lined the corridor with their hands over their hearts as he passed. We received a card signed by all of them. Each signature had a personal note. I’m 58 years old. I was fortunate to have my dad in my life for so long. I’m glad he was around long enough to see this small farm thrive and our cattle herd making profits. The VA hospitals of America are full of old soldiers. If one of them is your dad, try to spend a nice long visit with him this Sunday. The VA does a lot of good, but the good they do isn’t newsworthy and that’s a shame. Tom Dukes, Purcellville
response was that they did not realize that and that the sign cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Since my call, the sign has been fixed, but little has been done to improve this traffic. I recommended to VDOT that the left turn lane be extended about one mile to the south so that the traffic looking to make the left flyover to Waxpool can get over sooner and reduce the chaotic traffic closer to the interchange. This would alleviate the traffic going north to Rt. 7 with very little cost. Additionally, it would pave the way for the Gloucester extension further up Rt. 28. Lastly, I would like this paper to investigate the zoning and the lack of planning in our county. I have written to our supervisors, but little has been done to address the growth, except the consistent reply of, “This is what was agreed upon over a decade ago, and there is nothing we can change.” We, the people of Loudoun, need to ensure our voices are heard to continue to make our county the best in our great nation.

A
s a resident of Loudoun County, you are likely aware of Lyme disease or perhaps even know someone with it. More than 300,000 people in the United States contract Lyme disease and children age five to 10 are most at risk. But did you know that Loudoun County has one of the highest incidence rates for Lyme disease in Virginia? In fact, the Virginia Department of Health reports that Loudoun accounted for 25 percent of cases in 2011. Because of the prevalence in our region, Loudoun has been extremely active on the local level with this issue. The Board of Supervisors even created a Loudoun Lyme Disease Commission in 2012. In the Virginia General Assembly, I, too, have been fighting for ways to help break the cycle of infection, as well as advocating better identification of the disease and treatment options. One of the newest technologies to fight Lyme disease takes an entirely different route and looks at an environmental answer in the form of vaccinations for mice. Yes, you read that correctly- vaccinations for mice. My first reaction when I heard that was to question why the vaccines target mice and not ticks or deer? I always thought that ticks get infected from deer. However, I learned that while ticks carry Lyme bacteria, they actually catch it from the white-footed mouse, not deer. The ticks merely use the deer for transportation. Therefore, the vaccines will focus on the host animal. I believe this is a promising environmental treatment method and it’s time we put programs like this into action to reduce expo-
sure and spread to humans. Up until now, our focus has been on the identification of Lyme disease and early treatment. I believe we owe it to the families in Loudoun and across the Commonwealth to take the next step and look at prevention programs that could be a game-changer in this fight. Ending Lyme at its source is one of the most promising options we have seen yet. This is why I partnered with Senator Jill Vogel during this past legislative session in Richmond to require Virginia to study this specific issue further. The budget we passed includes language that directs the Secretaries of Agriculture and Forestry and Health and Human Resources to study strategies for “point of disease” transmission prevention programs—such as vaccinations for mice. Their examination will focus on identifying sites for the first implementation, the cost of these programs and potential sources of funding—including grants, local, state and federal funding and private foundations. Recommendations will be made this fall to the General Assembly with programmatic and funding options. It is my hope that these recommendations will include public health proposals focusing on this exciting new field of “point of disease” prevention. Who would ever think that vaccinating mice could help prevent Lyme disease? It’s innovative methods like this that will help us battle Lyme disease in Loudoun County and the rest of Virginia. With summer quickly approaching, I know we will all be outside more than ever and will need to be vigilant about protecting ourselves from Lyme. You have my commitment that I will constantly be looking for creative and innovative strategies that will help us win the fight against Lyme disease. n

The names chosen are fine. What about all the other children who have died? Do we name schools after them too? This child didn’t even live in the area where MS-9 will be located.
