aps were sent flying, speakers offered plenty of advice sprinkled with humor, and valedictorians accepted applause for grade point averages topping more than 4.8 as Loudoun County’s public high schools gave 4,500 graduates their official send off this week. “We made it,” an ecstatic Loudoun County High School graduate yelled to his classmates Tuesday morning. This week’s commencement ceremonies marked a slew of milestones in Loudoun County Public Schools. John Champe High School in Aldie celebrated its first graduating class, and Principal John Gabriel took his first selfie with all 138 of the graduates. Gabriel commended the seniors for their willingness to join and lead a brand-new school. “This has become an impressive school in a short time because of you.” A grinning Andrew Bushrod basked in the moment just before he stepped on stage to accept his diploma, saying, “We’ll always be the first class of John Champe. That’s pretty exciting.” This year’s graduates at Woodgrove and Tuscarora high schools are the first to attend all four years at the schools. With that in mind, Tuscarora Principal Pamela Paul-Jacobs called the school’s class of 2014 “purebred Huskies.” Tuscarora Yearbook Editor Bailey Jenkins reminded

Johnson’s brother shouted out excitedly when the verdict was read and was barred from the courtroom and from testifying. Many witnesses called by the defense were Johnson’s friends, who were clearly unhappy with having to serve as a defense witness and angry with Williams. Continued on Page 47

epublicans took full advantage of their new majority in the General Assembly late Thursday night to adopt a two-year state budget that includes a measure to prevent Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) from expanding Medicaid or a private insurance alternative without specific legislative approval. The adopted budget eliminates almost all new spending, more than $800 million worth, that, combined with $707.5 million from the Rainy Day Fund, will make up for the projected $1.55 billion revenue shortfall through the biennium. The revenue shortfall is attributed to a decline in projected individual income payments. The plan eliminates money for state

rejected the other’s proposal. Democrats, led by McAuliffe, wanted the proposal to extend coverage to as many as 400,000 Virginians to be included in the state budget, while Republicans said they wanted the issue to be addressed separately from the budget discussion. But the sudden resignation of state Sen. Phillip P. Puckett (D-38) early last week gave Republicans the upper hand. Republicans went further than simply decoupling the two issues, instead adopting an amendment that ensures McAuliffe, or the commission formed to study the expansion of the program, cannot move forward with Medicaid expansion without General Assembly approval. State Sen. Dick Black (R-13), who pushed to get an amendment passed that included

employee raises, including teachers, as well as increased funding for universities, hospitals and K-12 education that was initially included in the spending plans of both the Senate and the House of Delegates. The changes will not impact planned raises for Loudoun’s public school educators because the school system’s budget was based on the assumption the state’s final budget would not include money for raises. The state budget adoption comes after a three-month stalemate between the two chambers over Medicaid expansion, part of a requirement for states to receive federal funding through the Affordable Care Act. In March, both chambers adopted budgets; the Senate’s included a version of Medicaid expansion called Marketplace Virginia and the House’s did not include any mention of expanding coverage.

Inova Loudoun Medical Director of Emergency Services Dr. Edward Puccio noted that a freestanding emergency center would not have been possible only a decade ago. However, technological advancements have allowed emergency services to move out of hospitals and be closer to the patients they serve. For a patient suffering an allergic reaction to a bee sting, for example, Puccio said avoiding a 30-minute ride to the hospital could make a big difference. The center will be equipped with X-ray, ultrasound and CAT scan capabilities. He said patients treated at the center who require admission would be transported to Inova’s hospitals in Lansdowne or Fairfax, depending on the level of care needed. Del. David Ramadan (R-87), whose district includes the healthplex property, welcomed the creation of 100 new jobs the center will bring. He described the project as providing “services families hate to use but are glad to have around.” n

nova Loudoun Hospital leaders gathered in an Ashburn field along the Dulles Greenway last Wednesday morning to celebrate the start of construction on the $32.5 million healthplex that will provide around-the-clock emergency medical care to families in the area. Inova Loudoun Hospital Board Chairman Patrick Rhodes, Inova Loudoun Hospital CEO Patrick Walters and Loudoun County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) each hailed the project as a fulfillment of the hospital’s longterm commitment to expand services to meet the needs of the fast-growing community. Construction should get underway in the next few weeks on the lot at the intersection of Loudoun County Parkway and Barrister Street, just south of the Dulles Greenway. Operations at the 50,000-square-foot emergency center are expected to begin by fall 2015. A 30,000-squarefoot medical office building also is planned for the property.

Gun Possession Charge Norman K. Styer

nstyer@leesburgtoday.com

Loudoun County District Court judge Friday denied bond for an Ashburn man charged with a weapons violation after being linked to an Alexandria police investigation into three murders. Charles Severance, 53, remained in jail pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday, June 18. Defense attorney Edward Ungvarsky argued the charge was based on weak circumstantial evidence that was largely misrepresented in the original warrant that led to his March 13 arrest in Wheeling, WV. He argued Severance represented no threat to the public and was not a flight risk. Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman described Severance as a man who has been unemployed for 13 years and whose parents have raised concerns about his mental health and depression. Mental health concerns and weapons have proven to be a dangerous combination, Plowman said. Judge Frank Buttery ruled that Ungvarsky did not provide enough evidence to overcome the statutory presumption against setting bail in firearms cases that carry a mandatory minimum sentence. If convicted on the charge, state law requires he spend at least two years in prison. The case was set in motion March 7, when a member of the Alexandria Police Department left a business card at the Ashburn townhouse where Severance lived with his girlfriend asking him to contact the department. Severance was wanted for questioning in the deaths of Ruthanne Lodato, a music teacher, in February; Ronald Avie HalfPage_Ultherapy.pdf Kirby, who6.20.14 served as theATtransportation director

same year the previous Board of Supervisors approved the Western Loudoun Sheriff’s Substation in Round Hill. Since taking office in 2012, Sheriff Mike Chapman has scaled back plans for that station, but the project is still moving forward. While supporting the station, plans showing possible solar panels on the roof of the structure caused some supervisors pause. “This is a discussion the board has to have.

he Board of Supervisors last week approved plans for a permanent Ashburn Sheriff’s Substation in the One Loudoun development, but raised questions about the possible inclusion of solar panels in the project. Supervisors were unified in their support for the new facility, which will be built at the corner of Russell Branch Parkway and Savin Hill Drive. The building will be 18,800 square feet, and will replace the University Station facility north of Rt. 7. The new building will house patrol, crime prevention, and traffic enforcement units, and have a community meeting room, reception area, offices, a roll call area, classrooms, exercise and locker rooms, areas for processing suspects and evidence and holding cells. The station is expected to be open in the first part of 2017.

for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments, last November; and real estate agent Nancy Dunning in 2003. According to Ungvarsky, Severance’s girlfriend did not want police coming back to the Charles Severance home because she had illegal drugs and told Severance if he didn’t contact the police he should leave. He left. When police returned to the home, they searched the house and found marijuana. It was then, Ungvarsky said, investigators pressured Severance’s girlfriend into making statements that Severance made her buy two guns for him and that he took the guns when he left. She was promised immunity from prosecution on the drug possession charge and for providing firearms to a felon. However, the attorney said, she now says the guns are hers and Severance did not take them. Severance’s attorney unsuccessfully fought extradition to Loudoun, arguing the firearms charge was only a pretext to hold his client in custody while Alexandria investigators attempt to link him to their homicide cases. Ungvarsky said the Alexandria Police Department “recklessly and inaccurately” publicly connected Severance to the killings. He said that, although detectives were casting a wide net in the search for suspects, no evidence linked Severance to the cases and he was not considered a suspect or person of interest in the case. “I think we should take the Alexandria Police Department at their 1 6/17/14 4:15 PM word.” n

Boy Drowns In Ashburn Pool

A 6-year-old boy died Friday afternoon after drowning in a neighborhood pool in Ashburn. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, Paul X. Wetshtein was attending an endof-the-year-school party around 4 p.m. Friday, June 13, at a home in the 19900 block of Augusta Village Place in the Belmont Country Club community. The group of six children was inside the home, changing and preparing to go to the home’s pool when Paul got separated from the group. After a search, Paul was found unconscious in the pool. An adult at the party attempted CPR and 911 was called. Paul was taken to Inova Loudoun Hospital where he died. Paul’s parents were not present at the party. No charges have been filed in the case, but the sheriff’s office is continuing its investigation.

Park View HS Vandalized

8

The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is investigating vandalism that occurred overnight last Tuesday at Park View High School in Sterling Park. According to the sheriff’s office, graffiti was discovered the morning of June 10, on the exterior of the building and on the sidewalks by school personnel. The spray-painted graffiti included racial slurs and obscene symbols. The damage is estimated at $5,000. The vandalism is believed to have occurred around 3:30 a.m. last Tuesday morning. Anyone with any information regarding the incident is asked to call Master Deputy R. Garis at 703-777-1021. To remain anonymous, call Loudoun Crime Solvers at 703-777-1919. If the information leads to an arrest and indictment, the caller could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

Reminder: Do Not Leave Animals Inside Hot Cars

Almost every day during the spring and summer Loudoun County Animal Control Officers respond to pets left inside cars on hot days. It is illegal to leave an animal in a car when the outside temperature is above 70 degrees and the temperature inside a vehicle is above 80 degrees. It only takes a few minutes for a pet to get sick or die inside a hot car. Heat is hard on pets because they can only cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paws. Anyone who sees unattended pets in hot cars should record the make, model, color, license plate and location of the vehicle and call Loudoun County Animal Services at 703-777-0406 or the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office at 703-7771021.

agrant@leesburgtoday.com ulles Greenway managers last week distributed a record $294,500 in proceeds from the ninth annual Dulles Greenway Drive For Charity to area nonprofits and scholarship recipients from each Loudoun high school. Drive For Charity works to give back to the community by donating all of the toll revenue collected on a single day. May 15 more than 64,000 drivers used the private toll road, helping to raise the program’s total donations to almost $2.1 million. Area charities ECHO, Fresh Air/Full Care, Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter, Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and the March of Dimes all received contributions during a ceremony Friday at Clyde’s Willow Creek Farm in Broadlands. Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy President Nicole Hamilton described the Greenway’s annual donation as a “game changer” that has helped the organization to succeed by “leaps and bounds.” Nicole Acosta, executive director for LAWS, thanked the Greenway for its support that “sends a message to the community that violence against women will not be tolerated.” ECHO CEO Bill Haney said it’s “refreshing and unusual” to find an organization that gives money freely with no strings attached. Through its Dulles Greenway Scholarship Program, 13 students from each Loudoun County public high school were awarded

a $1,500 scholarship. They are: Bethany Mosher, Briar Woods High School; Robert Wang, Broad Run High School; Belle Brewer, Dominion High School; Grace Morales, Freedom High School; Jack Miller, Heritage High School; Hayden Kutrieb, John Champe High School; Ryan Coughlin, Loudoun County High School; Sarah Bogle, Loudoun Valley High School presented in honor of Stephan Mace who died serving in Afghanistan in 2009; Sam Onyeador, Park View High School; Amanda DeJonghe, Potomac Falls High School; Colin McArdle, Stone Bridge High School; Sean Cassar, Tuscarora High School; and Hannah Maad, Woodgrove High School. For the first time the graduating seniors and their families were invited to attend the luncheon. The organization also raised $12,500 for the Patriot Project, an effort to build a statue at the Loudoun County Court House honoring the men and women of Loudoun impacted during the Revolutionary War. Clerk of Loudoun County Circuit Court Gary Clemens, who serves on the project’s advisory committee, accepted the check. “We’re very happy to receive this generous donation… it’s really going to help us make progress,” he said. To get the word out this year, Terry Hoffman, public relations manager and event organizer said he boosted advertising by reaching out to several media sources including Leesburg Today, WINC-FM, WTOP-FM and was featured on FOX 5 DC. n

County Gets $34M In Road Money From State Package

T

he Board of Supervisors last week accepted more than $34 million from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority to help pay for some of Loudoun’s much-needed road projects. The money is coming to Loudoun as part of the regional funding approved through the General Assembly’s 2013 transportation package. “This is just money coming back to Loudoun from taxes we are already paying,” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said. The board held a public hearing Wednesday before approving amending the Capital Improvement Program to accept the $34.28 million. The action deposits the money into the county’s Transportation District Fund and then transfers the full amount to the county’s capital fund, as required by the NVTA. Most of the money will be used for two major projects in eastern Loudoun. The Rt. 28 “hot spot” project will get $12.4 million for improvements, including an additional lane between Sterling Boulevard and the Dulles Toll Road. The largest chunk of money—$20 million—will be used for the widening of Belmont Ridge Road between Gloucester Parkway and Rt. 7. That improvement will 2014-06-19_LeesburgToday_Fan Promotion.pdf 1 address a long-standing public safety concern

at the W&OD Trail intersection. The trail crossing, when the project is complete, will no longer be at-grade—separating pedestrians and cyclists from motorists. In addition, $880,000 will be used to purchase two new transit buses and $1 million for land acquisition for Leesburg East park and ride lot.

VPSA Bonds Eyed To Design Tech Academy After years of debate, county leaders are preparing to authorize funding for an Advanced Technology Academy. During the Board of Supervisors’ Finance, Government Services and Operations Committee meeting last Tuesday, supervisors backed a proposal to hold a Sept. 10 public hearing an application to Virginia Public School Authority for $5.455 million in general obligation bonds to design the project. When complete the project would combine expanded versions of the Academies of Science and the C.S. Monroe Technology Center. Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said he believed financing the design cost through VPSA, which grants low-cost financing for school projects, and then going through a voter referendum for construction 6/10/2014 9:02:47 AM money later gives the county time to build

support for the project. He said when he asks people about the Advanced Technology Academy project now, most do not know what it is. “The odds of the community approving this on the 2015 ballot are much larger than the 2014 ballot,” Buona said. “If we have a year of awareness I would be more confident…I would be worried about putting the whole thing on this year.” Some supervisors had questions about why the design and construction money were being split up—and what would happen if the voters rejected the construction bond question next year—but county staff members said they were handcuffed by what the School Board requests go out for bond referendum. In this case, Chief Financial Officer Ben Mays said, the request came to do the funding in two parts. If the School Board wants to change its resolution to request the entire amount be funded at once, it could do so. But to make it on this November’s ballot, the change would have to be finalized by July to make the legal requirement that the referendum be set 81 days before Election Day. If voters were to reject the bond referendum, the county also could apply to VPSA for the construction funds. In addition to the advanced academies project, supervisors recommended including a bond referendum question to fund public improvements for not more than $125.35 million. Included on that list of projects are design and construction of ES-27, a Dulles North elementary school; the design, construction and equipping of MS-9, a Dulles North middle school; construction of a new construction of an animal services facility; purchasing land for a Sterling Fire Station; design and construction

County Offers New Alert System Loudoun County government is implementing an enhanced version of its Alert Loudoun notification system that sends residents emergency information, news releases, traffic information, weather alerts, and other information. The new system, which goes live June 25, will better target information to individual users. For example, weather alerts will be targeted by location based on the addresses that subscribers provide. Subscribers may register to receive weather alerts for up to five physical addresses, such as work, home or any other location they are on a regular basis. The new system also gives subscribers the ability to customize how they receive information—by text, email, cell phone and/ or mobile app. The new system will first send a message to whatever a subscriber designates as their primary means of notification. If it doesn’t reach the user that way, it will try another method. Current subscribers do not have to reregister to continue to receive most alerts, but they will not be able to receive weather alerts or manage their accounts without subscribing to the new system. Current and new subscribers will be able to register beginning Wednesday, June 25. More information is online at www.loudoun.gov/alert2.0. n

lmost eight years after the Board of Supervisors last evaluated the office space needs for county government operations, the issue has again come to the forefront of the Department of Economic Development. As one of the few departments in the county government that has experienced increased staffing in recent years, Economic Development has outgrown its existing space on the fifth floor of the county government center in downtown Leesburg. The office, DED Director Buddy Rizer told supervisors Monday night, was built for 14 employees. By the end of July, the department

Rizer said he believes one of the big selling points for Loudoun is his department’s ability to work closely—and quickly—with other county departments on the permitting and approval process for new businesses, and he said he believes that would be lost if the department were moved out of the government center. In addition, he said, moving east could hurt his department’s efforts to promote rural economy operations. “We have been going to great lengths to market a particular approach. That is a consolidated approach toward getting applicants through the process,” Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) said. “That has just begun to become a distinguishing factor for Loudoun County…we would be taking a step back if we take you out of the place where all those other things are happening.” Ashburn Today/Norman K.

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com erri Breeden will be Loudoun County’s next assistant superintendent for instruction following Sharon Ackerman, who retires this month after 15 years in the

position. The appointment is another major element in the transition of leadership in the school system, with Edgar B. Hatrick retiring June 30 after 23 years as superintendent. Breeden will come to the Loudoun school system from Fairfax County Public Schools where she oversees professional development as well as student testing, program evaluation and research as the division’s assistant superintendent for professional learning and accountability. Loudoun’s incoming Superintendent Eric Williams selected Breeden for the position—arguably the second most influential in the school system— and the School Board approved the hire during its meeting last Tuesday night. “We’re very, very excited to bring your experience and your knowledge on board with Loudoun County,” School Board member Bill Fox (Leesburg) said. “Welcome.” Breeden has more than 30 years of experience in education, 12 of which have been in the classroom teaching first through eighth grades. She’s served as an elementary teacher in a private school in Nashville, TN; as a math teacher at East Middle School; a mathematics program specialist; assistant principal for Hillsboro Comprehensive High School; principal of John Trotwood Moore Middle School and executive director for grades 1-5, all for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools. In 2006, Breeden moved to Fairfax County where she’s served as the school system’s assistant superintendent for professional learning and training before her current role as assistant superintendent for professional learning and accountability. Breeden said she’s been impressed by the excellent reputation of Loudoun County Public Schools and was excited to see an open position in an area she’s particularly passionate about—instruction. “I like the stability I’ve seen in the division and the partnership the schools and the community have in Loudoun County,” she said. “I’m looking forward to learning more about the schools and getting to know the staff, the parents and the students.” Breeden did not know Williams until the interview process, but she said she’s eager to get to know him. She begins her new position the same day Williams begins his, July 1. n

Students Speak Against ELL Teacher Layoffs Danielle Nadler

T

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

he Loudoun County School Board got an earful last week about their decision to eliminate the 112 English Language Learner teaching assistant positions as part of a new instructional model. The school system was heading toward a new teaching approach that puts more students who are learning English in regular education classes as opposed to pulling them out into specialized programs. The new model requires fewer ELL assistants and a few more ELL teachers, and instruction administrators were hoping to get there through employee attrition and avoid layoffs. But the $38 million budget funding gap the school system faced this spring hurried that process. The board voted to eliminate 112 ELL teacher assistant positions and added 19 ELL teacher positions to save a total of $2.386 million. Eight speakers during the public comment portion of last Tuesday’s board meeting voiced concerns about having fewer employees working with a growing population of ELL students. “Less staffing equals less support for ELL students,” high school student Chinmay Dasari said. “Less support equals fewer opportunities for ELL students.”

Board members said their decision was based on a recommendation from the school system’s senior instructional staff, based on research that shows students learning English do better when surrounded by Englishspeaking peers. But Indu Radhakrishnan, a junior at Broad Run High School, called the board’s decision rash. “It’s easy to look at the numbers on a sheet of paper and pass judgment. You can check a box and say that you tried something,” she said. “But the kids who will suffer, the kids who this program is supposed to be helping, will have nothing to say because they will not know how to say it.” Eugene Ejiba, a graduate of Broad Run High School, told board members he was standing before them as a success of the schools’ ELL program. After moving from Ghana to Loudoun County in 2008, he learned English, graduated high school and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice from Shenandoah University. “These teachers that you guys are eliminating helped me. They helped me go to school. They helped me succeed in life,” Eugene said. “I’m standing here thinking about the students who will come after me. If you guys cut this how will they succeed? What will happen to them?” School Board member Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) addressed the speakers’ concerns

from the dais and defended the board’s decision. Bergel, who teachers English at a high school in Fairfax, said she has experience with the new model and it works. “As a teacher I sit here on this board confident that it is a decision that will help you,” she said. “Change is not always a bad thing. We’re doing it with the best interest of students’ future in mind.” n

The ceremonies at Monroe are special to me because you are special…you made some decisions a year, two or three years ago that probably will influence the rest of your life. You chose to take a path that leads you to both careers and potential employment and higher education.” The graduates were given their official send-off from commencement speaker Riley Moore. Moore, a graduate of the school’s welding program, serves as an advisor to several foreign governments and served as the principal political advisor on foreign affairs for the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. She told the students, “My decision to enter Monroe was my first step to putting myself on the right path.”

agrant@leesburgtoday.com he Mason Enterprise Center in Leesburg has become a hub for companies specializing in mobile and web application development. Regional Manager Susan Henson said the center draws developers who want to interact and collaborate with others in the growing field through its meet-up groups. “These groups are really helping give us some synergy so that we can attract people, even beyond this building, to attend the programs and to participate,” she said. The center offers three popular meet-up programs. 1 Million Cups, launched more than a year ago, invites entrepreneurs from two new startups to its weekly meetings to present their ideas to a room of professionals. Ideas Fusing brings tech startups together with mentors and other IT professionals to discuss their ideas, dole out advice to beginners and encourage new talent. Loudoun Startups, led by Henson, also works to join innovative individuals looking to launch new businesses. On average around 50 people attend the meetings, Henson said. Mason is the home base for Omnilert, an app that allows schools to send emergency campus alerts to students. Creator Ara Bagdasarian, who has maintained a virtual residency at Mason for almost two years, said the meet-up groups create a platform for developers to feed off one another’s talents. “The app culture has been developing [in Leesburg] over a number of years, but the emerging factor was the growing of the Mason Center,” he said. “It fosters a community of entrepreneurs that didn’t exist before.” Neil Giarratana, founder of software company Scorebrd, recently spoke during a 1 Million Cups event.

AIRFAX - Last spring, the Briar Woods girls soccer team made its first-ever trip to a state championship game and experienced the disappointment of losing as Woodgrove defeated the Falcons for the VHSL Group AA title. This year, the Falcons were determined to not have that experience again. After allowing Stone Bridge an early goal, Briar Woods regrouped and scored twice to defeat its local rival, 2-1, and claim the Group 5A state championship Sunday at James Robinson Secondary School’s Coffey Stadium in Fairfax. Senior Emma Quirk and sophomore Rayven Conner scored first-half goals for Briar Woods (15-2-2), which improved to 2-1-1 against Stone Bridge (17-4-2) this season. The Bulldogs defeated the Falcons 2-1 in the regular season May 9, then Briar Woods took a 4-0 victory in the Conference 14 championship game May 28. The teams met again for the Group 5A North Region title June 6, with the Falcons advancing as region champion with a 7-6 advantage in penalty kicks after playing to a 1-1 tie. “I couldn’t be more proud,” Briar Woods head coach Ann Vierkorn said. “It’s everything that we wanted, and it’s everything that we worked for. So, I just try to soak in this moment. I’m really happy for them. They deserve it because they work for it. And I’m just so happy that it happened for them.” With both teams playing less than 18 hours after completing their semifinal contests at Lake Braddock Secondary School on Saturday, Stone Bridge came out strong and carried the attack early. The Bulldogs broke through in the ninth minute as freshman Emily Fox gathered an errant goal kick, drove into the right side of the penalty area and lofted a 20-yard shot into the upper-left corner of the net. The goal was Fox’s team-leading 16th of the year and gave Stone Bridge a 1-0 lead. “This is a new team mentally,” Quirk said of the Falcons. “We were worried about our losses [in personnel] last year and we knew we Continued on Page 22

AIRFAX - At 2 p.m. Sunday, senior J.P. Reategui was sitting with his classmates at George Mason University’s Patriot Center preparing to participate in Broad Run High School’s graduation ceremony. A little more than seven hours later, he was just a few miles away in Fairfax, being mobbed by teammates and dozens of fellow Broad Run students in the middle of Coffey Stadium at James Robinson Secondary School as they all celebrated a state championship. What a day! Reategui recorded his second hat trick of the season Sunday evening, scoring once in

the first half and twice in the second, as the Broad Run boys soccer team rallied in the second half to defeat Albemarle, 3-2, and claim the VHSL Group 5A championship. It was the first title for the Spartan boys in school history. “Best day of my life,” Reategui said. “To get a hat trick in the state final, it doesn’t get any better than that. I wasn’t even thinking about graduating. I was sitting in my chair, all jittery, couldn’t think of anything going on. I just walked across the stage and came straight here. “We were all focused,” Reategui added. “No talking in warm-up, everybody just wanted to win a state championship. That was all that was on our minds. It wasn’t all me. It was our team, our keeper, our coaches. It was a

Mills Road to be a four-lane, divided roadway with associated pedestrian and bicycle lanes. “I think it needs to be a not at-grade crossing,” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said. “I think we’re setting ourselves up for another Belmont Ridge Road/W&OD Trail problem… The signal may not be warranted because of the traffic study, but we haven’t said anything about the pedestrians.” The Board of Supervisors approved a land exchange through a National Parks Service program to acquire the property in 2008. Virginia Dominion Power needed a county-owned 5-acre parcel along Rt. 606 to build two monopoles as part of a new transmission line. Once it was approved by the federal government agencies, Dominion agreed to purchase the property for $5 million, much more than its appraised 2008 value of $821,651. County staff members then started hunting for potential parkland. After working closely with the Hanson family, the $5 million was transferred directly from the Dominion sale to purchase the 259 acres. n

he Board of Supervisors is poised to approve plans for the county’s next regional park. Hal & Berni Hanson Regional Park is more than 250 acres bisected by Evergreen Mills Road and surrounded by future residential developments in Brambleton and Willowsford. In the plans for the section of the park north of Evergreen Mills Road are an administration building, a lodge, a nature center, restrooms, an equestrian facility, two lighted artificial turf rectangular fields, six large lighted grass rectangular fields, a small lighted grass rectangular field, a basketball court, two playgrounds, six picnic pavilions, an amphitheater, an off-leash dog area, a skate spot, fishing piers and trails. In the southern portion of the park, plans include four lighted grass baseball diamonds and concessions, three lighted grass rectangular fields, one grass cricket field, two playgrounds, two restrooms, eight picnic pavilions, an amphitheater, an off-leash dog area and trails. The plans were developed based on input collected during several public input sessions held with residents in 2012. Supervisors Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) asked the staff to find a way to include tennis courts in the plan. The board is set to approve the permits needed to develop the park and light the fields at its July 2 meeting. Supervisors raised concerns about the pedestrian crossing across Evergreen Mills Road between the two sections of the park, and that Virginia Department of Transportation does not envision a traffic signal at that location.

a convincing 15-1 victory over Loudoun Valley in the 5A state championship game Sunday afternoon at Lake Braddock High School. Fuller, who missed the game because of a pre-planned trip he made, left the team June 9 following the state semifinals. Immediately following the victory, each of the Woodgrove players gathered around Reid’s iPhone, which she put on speaker and the team yelled in unison, “Time to get your ears pierced, Coach.” Fuller was heard to respond, “I will only do one ear and it will be a diamond stud earring. But I am really proud of all of you.” Although Woodgrove (17-4) got four goals

the Spartans in the 5A North Region championship June 6. Albemarle, the Group AAA state champion in 2012, scored first in the 16th minute. A misplay in front of the Spartan goal allowed Patriot junior Marcel Berry to gather the loose ball and send an eight-yard shot into the net for a 1-0 lead. But Broad Run would tie the score less than a minute later. The Spartans pushed straight down the field after the ensuing kickoff and a shot was cleared off the Albemarle goal line by Patriot senior Zach Mayo. Broad Run senior Zach Poretz gathered the ball and blasted a 20-yard shot toward the goal, but Reategui stepped just in front of the diving goalkeeper and redirected the ball into the net to tie the score. The Patriots got a second goal in the 28th minute as senior Kevin Salazar scored off a free kick by sophomore Brendan Moyers, giving Albemarle a 2-1 halftime lead and thoughts of an upset. But the Spartans had other ideas and came

each from University of Virginia-committed Nora Bowen, Courtney Olivier and Ashley Wacker, as well as an additional hat trick from Emma Leszchak, it might have been the defensive effort that would have made Fuller most proud. Loudoun Valley (17-4) took 16 shots and Morris stopped nine of them. But the Wolverines also forced nine turnovers and generally did not allow the Vikings good looks at the goal. Furthermore, Loudoun Valley did not get many chances to set up offense from behind the goal either. It did not help that the Vikings lost starter Corley Simons to an apparent knee injury about two minutes into the game. “Whenever one of the girls gets hurt, it changes the momentum of the game a little out for the final 40 minutes refocused and ready, pressuring right from the second-half whistle. Broad Run evened the score in the 47th minute as Reategui converted a penalty kick after an Albemarle foul in the upper part of the penalty area. The Spartans continued to play much of the early part of the half in the Patriots’ end as Albemarle did not get off a second-half shot until the 66th minute. Reategui put Broad Run ahead to stay in the 69th minute. Senior Evan Kalaris broke free and drove down the left side of the field before touching a pass off inside to Reategui, who sent a 12-yard shot past the rushing goalkeeper and inside the right post for the 3-2 advantage. “That was him reading the game and reading the run of play,” Hicks said. “He was just in the right place at the right time. He’s been there for us along with Sammy [Sergi, Broad Run’s leading scorer with 22 goals and 12 assists] and those guys. Them being seniors and the leadership they bring, they brought us here and they won us the game.” n

bit,” Loudoun Valley coach Tracy Albro said. “But the girls played hard and kept going. It just wasn’t our day.” Each of the previous three meetings between the two teams was decided by three goals or less. Reid said what made the difference Sunday was the team’s unswerving focus, possibly due to the departure of Fuller earlier in the week. “There were a few tears shed,” Reid said. “This team has been focused as a unit, and I think that mental toughness was the biggest difference this time.”

had to compensate for it because this was our year. We got down, and last year we let that get to us mentally. This time, I turned around to the team and said ‘Guys, relax, we are fine. We have come back multiple times before.’ And we did it today, and it’s awesome. This team is all heart.” From that point on, the Falcon defense did its job as the backline of senior Carly Melkus, junior Nikki Batt, sophomore Laura Kelly and freshman Kaela Price joined with senior goalkeeper Tori Riopelle (five saves) to keep the Bulldogs off the scoreboard. Meanwhile, the Stone Bridge goal ignited

Woodgrove scored just seconds into the game when Bowen took the opening faceoff, ran toward the goal, and lofted a shot into the upper left corner of the goal to give the Wolverines a quick 1-0 lead. “I think that [scoring first] was important because Loudoun Valley is a good team and it allowed the girls to get into the flow a little bit,” Reid said. To the Vikings’ credit, they were awarded the sportsmanship award for the entire state tournament and received a plaque for it before they were awarded their runner-up medals. n

The ball caromed off the crossbar directly to Quirk, who headed it into the net for her 11th goal of the season. Conner, who was not in the starting lineup Sunday, came through again five minutes later. Freshman Allyson Brown picked up a loose ball on the left side and touched it inside to Conner, who drilled a 25-yard shot into the upper-left corner for a 2-1 Falcons advantage. Both teams had solid opportunities in the second half, but neither could score again. Stone Bridge senior Gracie DeGooyer (a Tennessee recruit) was stymied on a sliding save by Riopelle in the 42nd minute, and sophomore Briana Alston had a long free kick go off the crossbar in the 69th minute. Briar Woods nearly increased its advantage in the 66th minute as senior Elizabeth Reid had a shot saved on the end line by Alston, while Melkus’ shot in the 75th minute was saved by Bulldogs junior goalkeeper Hailey Corpe (three saves). n

or most working parents, finding a good work/life balance can be tough. For Loudoun ceramicist Kristen Swanson, there’s a challenge (but also a lot of joy) in raising three boys, while teaching and giving the necessary attention to her fourth child: her pottery. Her elegant, Asian-inspired porcelain works have a strong following both locally and through online sales around the world. She’s also a popular teacher, offering ceramics classes to adults and children in her Lovettsville studio, all while managing sports schedules, school and family time with her husband and three sons. Swanson, along with more than 60 of her fellow local artists, opens her studio this weekend as part of the annual Western Loudoun Artists Studio Tour. The McLean native did not initially set out to be an artist. Her childhood goal was to be a teacher, and she went to Virginia Tech to pursue an education degree. During her sophomore year, she took a ceramics class and was hooked. “That was it. That was all I wanted to do. I lived in the studio,” Swanson said. Once she’d had her artistic epiphany, Swanson’s initial inclination was to quit school and head for a fine arts program as soon as possible, but at her parents’ urging, she stayed at Virginia Tech to finish her education degree. Once that commitment had been met, she immediately enrolled in a ceramics program at Virginia Commonwealth University and headed to Richmond. Fate threw another curve ball her way when, during art school, she met her husband, Cullen Woehrle, back home in McLean. Swanson began commuting to her fine arts program from Northern Virginia. The couple discovered western Loudoun through friends and bought their house on a quiet street in Lovettsville in 1998, the same year Swanson graduated from art school. The historic home on a shady lot in downtown Lovettsville was a perfect fit and inspired the name of Swanson’s studio: White House Ceramics. The large yard was a big factor in the couple’s decision to relocate. “I knew that this property would allow for a studio,” Swanson said. The late ’90s and early 2000s were a busy time for Swanson. She and Woehrle started a family shortly after moving to Lovettsville, just as she was working to launch her career as an artist. Their three boys are now 9, 12 and 14 and attend public schools. “Those early years with the kids were challenging. I had a little playpen [in the studio] and all their stuff, but it was just keeping my hands in the clay. I was not very productive.”

When her husband, an IT specialist, lost a job during the dotcom bust of the early 2000s, Swanson made up her mind to start teaching ceramics. She has taught at locations around Loudoun over the years, including the Round Hill Arts Center, but eventually decided that teaching classes from her own studio made more sense for a parent of young children. She currently teaches up to 40 students a week, ranging in age from 5 to 83. Her afterschool ceramics classes for children are popular during the school year. Swanson also has a cadre of adult students she mentors for several months or longer. (There’s now a waitlist for this program). However, Swanson does offer plenty of opportunities for adults looking to explore ceramics, including workshops and popular ladies night, where students make attractive,

“Most everyone, 98 percent of people who come to the studio have never touched clay, don’t think they’re creative,” she said. “People don’t have opportunities to make things with their hands…I believe that everybody’s creative, they just need the opportunity. The people who make the most ‘wow’ pieces are people who have never touched any medium and they just get lost in there. And that’s not me—it’s the material.” “She’s so easygoing and down to earth,” longtime student Krista Bibb of Bluemont said. “She taught me to forgive imperfection. You can’t really expect perfection and a lot of times when something isn’t perfect it’s a happy accident…It’s cool even though it isn’t exactly what you expected.” While Swanson considers herself a natural teacher and enjoys teaching classes, she is also

cated wheel-thrown and hand-built pottery, including mugs, bowls, plates, vases and more. Her work is done in white porcelain with surface work in black with hints of color. For surface treatments, Swanson works with a technique called sgraffito (from the Italian for “to scratch”). To add color to her designs, she applies a pigmented underglaze before the porcelain is fired. After the initial firing, she applies a clear glaze and does a second firing. “There’s a strong, unabashed Asian influence,” Swanson said of her work. “I’ve always been drawn to very simple contours, shapes and high contrast…I like to push in a subtle way. There’s sort of a contemporary edginess to it. I don’t want it to be so pretty. I want things to be a little unexpected.” Her inclination comes in part from having

Swanson’s goal is to bring out the creativity in all her students, but she adds that the wonder people often feel is not entirely her doing: the medium of clay itself seems to bring out the best in people, she said.

intently focused on her own art, and driven to create her own work. “I’m an artist first, but I’m such a people person and I’m a natural teacher. I can’t help but teach. I want to share clay, but the work is the most important thing to me. It’s hard to describe the drive to make things…I want to make as many beautiful things as I can.” Swanson specializes in simple, sophisti-

been raised in a home full of Asian art. Her grandparents had lived in Japan, and her early visual memories involve the Asian textiles, furniture and art pieces that continue to inspire her. Swanson stresses that her pieces are not meant to be display items, and she encourages her customers to use her work in their homes. Her own family’s shelves are full of her works for daily use, from baking bread to ice cream for the boys. “We use everything all the time. They’re more durable than anything you can buy commercially,” Swanson said. “People buy my work and say that’s going to sit on the mantel.

For a $30 ticket, attendees get a bowl of soup served in a bowl donated by local potters, both amateur and professional. Swanson will be holding workshops this summer to allow amateur ceramicists of all ages to make two bowls—one to keep and one to donate to the event. She’ll also be throwing undecorated bowls and inviting top Loudoun painters to contribute their own touches to the fundraiser. As it is for every working parent, however, life for Swanson is a juggling act and involves balancing her art, teaching and family commitments. Working out of her home studio has made that easier on a certain level and has meant that her life as an artist is also a backdrop for her children’s young lives. Her husband and sons respect that her artistic life is not a hobby but a calling that will always be part of their lives. “The path that I took early on was to have children and get married, while my contemporaries did masters and traveled and did

workshops and got really established in their field,” Swanson said, noting that many of the women who mentored and inspired her chose not to have children. But for her, raising children and developing her craft in tandem has been the right path, if not always easy. “They’re growing up taking this for granted, but I know it’s benefiting them,” she said. “And my work benefits from children because I have to work smarter, more efficiently. I have to prioritize everything. Everything that’s hard takes that resiliency and commitment—that’s children and that’s the work.” As her children get older and more independent and the growth of her business allows her to take on assistants, the 41-year-old artist is focusing on making a name for herself in the broader ceramics community. Swanson’s work has been shown in several nationally recognized galleries in recent years, including the prestigious John Michael Kohler Arts Center in Wisconsin. “Getting that professional presence—that’s starting to happen,” she said. There’s a myth of a serene potter behind a wheel, she said, and while working in clay can be therapeutic, life can also be chaotic and can be stressful. But she’s making it work— beautifully. “This is the best life. This is my dream. This is what I imagined when I was 19 years old. Having children, having a garden, having a husband, having a house. And pots. And that’s what I have. And of course it’s not easy,” she said. “People come to the studio and they’re like, ‘Oh it must be so relaxing.’ No, it’s not, but I wouldn’t want it to be relaxing. It should be hard.” n

that requirement in the final budget, posted late Thursday on his Facebook page that the amendment will “put everyone on record should they want to expand Medicaid in Virginia.” “There will be no sweeping this under the rug,” Black added. “This is a big victory for the grassroots because their voices were heard in Richmond.” In an interview with Leesburg Today Wednesday, McAuliffe did not explicitly say he would call a special session to debate Medicaid expansion but said, “I will do whatever it takes to get it done…This is $26 billion in federal dollars over the next eight years that we’d be forfeiting.” In a statement released Friday, McAuliffe said, “This evening’s actions demonstrated how deeply committed Republicans in the General Assembly are to denying 400,000 Virginians access to life saving health care. Instead of moving forward on a plan to close the coverage gap, the Senate of Virginia moved our Commonwealth backward by violating the terms of the bipartisan agreement they reached in last year’s budget.” As of press time Tuesday, the governor had not indicated whether he will sign the budget as is. He has until Monday to put forward budget amendments. State Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-25) released a statement Tuesday urging McAuliffe to use line-item veto to strip the amendment from the budget that restricts his ability to expand Medicaid. McAuliffe did say in a statement last week that he will evaluate the budget “carefully and take the actions that I deem necessary, but this fight is far from over. This is the right thing to do for Virginia, and I will not rest until we get it done.” n

The subject property consists of ten parcels in Tavistock Farms totaling 18.96 acres located at the southeast corner of Battlefield Parkway and Tavistock Drive. The property is zoned PRN, “Planned Residential Neighborhood� and further described as Loudoun County Parcel Identification Numbers (PINs): 190-28-6459, 190-37-5471, 190-28-3569, 190-38-1887, 190-38-0199, 190-37-7785, 190-27-9463, 190-28-1661, 190-37-9379, 19027-6047, and Loudoun County Tax Map Numbers: /48//47///P7/, /48//47/// P10/, /48//47P3/100, /48//47P4/100/, /48//47P5/100/, /48//47P6/100/, /48//47P1/100, /48//47P2/100, /48//47///P8/, /48//47///P9/.

Angling For Access

L

oudoun Water’s $30 million investment to purchase the Beaverdam and Goose Creek reservoirs and the water treatment complex from the City of Fairfax earlier this year should be a boon for its ratepayers and county residents as a whole. It is consistent with the long-term vision the authority has followed over the past half century in building a well-run and reliable water and sewer system in the face of tremendous growth. While the authority has expertise in designing, building and operating utility systems, it is clearly a neophyte in the realm of public recreation. That lack of experience, however, should not deprive residents the enjoyment of this vast recreational resource. That is not to say Loudoun Water should become a park operator in opening the Ashburn-area reservoirs to fishermen, boaters, wildlife-watchers and hikers—but it should seek out partners who can step in to manage those types of operations. The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority, which already manages a stable of active and passive parks that include water access, comes to mind as a good starting point. That agency previously showed interest in developing park facilities along the reservoir’s border and it seems well positioned to expand the scope of that vision if given the opportunity. Indeed, Loudoun Water had met with NVRPA about taking over management of the reservoir as a park, but those talks hit a sticking point. There may be other suitable partners as well, but providing safe, controlled public access to the property should be an important consideration in Loudoun Water’s renovation of the property—not an afterthought. Loudoun Water leaders appear headed in that direction with the promise to work with community representatives to identify access options. With cooperation from other community leaders, we hope that outreach results in a resource to be enjoyed by generations to come, and not just when they open their spigot.

LETTERS to the editor Well Done

Dear Editor:

rika Moore, a reporter and writer for one of Loudoun’s local publications, is a true professional who will be greatly missed as she moves on from Leesburg Today. Her reporting has always been fair, accurate, impartial and factual. As for the impact on the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, I will always be grateful that Erika reported on the Adult Detention Center improvements, the Crisis Intervention Team implementation, our Cold Case Squad and the budget difficulties we faced well over a year ago. Having previously served as

the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Chief of Public Affairs for three years as well as your sheriff for the past three years, I have had my share of exposure to the press and encountered many media professionals. In this field, Ms. Moore ranks right at the top. She has been precise with her reporting, fair, informative and a pleasure to work with. Her points were made with complete objectivity, and she continually ensured that issues were addressed from all perspectives. She is also a leader in journalism excellence within her industry. Her special feature article written September 2012 on the LCSO Child Victims Unit recently won an award. The article featured the seven-member unit of detectives Continued on Next Page

Dear Editor: Barbara Comstock is only as good as her volunteers and they are terrible. In the same day I received spam that I did not sign up to receive from Barbara Comstock in the guise of a forwarded email from a friend asking for a monetary donation, her volunteers canvassed Greenway Farms with their fliers. Were they respectful of people’s properties? No! They ran through their yards, threw the fliers in their bushes, kicked our drainage pipe into our driveway, and left the flier sitting in our aloe plant. Barbara Comstock will not be getting my vote simply because the people she has chosen to work for her are a direct representation of who she is. If they do not respect the people she is to represent then neither does she. Katherine DeMille, Leesburg

her fellow graduates how they have contributed traditions that will be handed down to future classes, and recalled voting to adopt the Husky—rather than the Turkey—for the future high school’s mascot in sixth grade. “We created this school,” she said. “We did things our way. We did things a little differently.” At Loudoun Valley, a substitute teacher addressed the graduates—another first in Loudoun that Kristi Lincicome was quick to point out. “You asked a substitute teacher to give you the words for your future. Are you crazy?” Lincicome, a favorite substitute among Loudoun Valley students, joked. “Well, thank you. But you owe me.” She retired from teaching at the Purcellville school four years ago before a friend convinced her to return in a long-term substitute position, which turned into countless other substitute jobs at the school. An energetic Lincicome credited the students for breathing life into her dreams. “Dreaming might sound ordinary, but it’s not for ordinary people,” she said. “It’s for extraordinary people, and you—all of you—are extraordinary.” This year’s commencement ceremonies also marked the last for several education leaders in Loudoun, including Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick and Assistant Superintendent Sharon K. Ackerman. Hatrick, who attended and spoke at almost half of the 13 graduation ceremonies this week, urged graduates to give back to ensure generations that follow have the same opportunities they enjoyed in Loudoun County. “Understand the power one person can have to make a difference in the world,” he said. Standing on the steps of his alma mater, Loudoun County High School, Hatrick recounted some of his favorite opportunities afforded him throughout his 47-year career in Loudoun County Public Schools. He graduated from Loudoun County in 1963 and returned four years later to teach English. He met his wife Betty, also an English teacher at the time, on the second floor of the high school and taught his first class of seniors, which he noted “are now old enough to draw social security.” “It’s been a few years, but they have been wonderful years,” he said. “If I had to do it all over again I would.” Loudoun also said farewell to the largest class of retirees this school year with 265 retiring employees, including three high school principals—Loudoun County’s Bill Oblas, Stone Bridge’s Jim Person and Park View’s Virginia Minshew. “Whether you like it or not we’ve joined your class,” Hatrick said to graduates at one commencement ceremony. “And we’re looking to what the future holds just like you are.” n

what to do for a sentence, but noted “Mr. Williams will be able to tell his mother he loves her. I will never hear that again.” Marvin and more than a dozen of Johnson’s family and friends were present in the courtroom for the trial, and there were tears all around as Marvin and Elita Johnson testified—and more tears, hugs and thanks outside the courtroom as they awaited the jury’s recommended sentence. The case against Williams has taken a convoluted path to reach trial. In February 2013, Williams and Hardwick were charged with first-degree murder for Johnson’s death. But following a May 2013 preliminary hearing, a General District Court judge dismissed the charges against Williams. Then in August, a grand jury indicted Williams on the first-degree murder charge re-filed by the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. In September, Hardwick’s first-degree murder charge was dropped and she pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and to a narcotics charge from an unrelated incident. She will be sentenced June 27. n

pieces of the puzzle. Many defense witnesses never responded to subpoenas requiring their presence in court. The prosecution went so far as to acknowledge the shady backgrounds of many of the witnesses. “The commonwealth has the facts as they are,” Rosen said. “If we were to go to central casting...we would get a witness that is pure, angelic and clean. But that’s not real life.” Testifying after the verdict was announced and before the jury deliberated on its sentencing recommendations Monday afternoon, Johnson’s mother Mary Marvin told the jury she often lies in bed imagining him sitting alone in the car after he died “alone for hours.” “I wasn’t there to hold his hand or help him crossover...No one should die alone that way,” she said, sobbing. She told the jury all she has now of her son is “7 pounds of his ashes, and he was 8 [pounds] 5 [ounces] when he was born.” Johnson’s older sister, Elita, testified that their father died only a year and a half before her brother was killed. “Who is going to give me away at my wedding,” she asked. Marvin said she would not tell the jury

From the beginning of the trial, Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Alejandra R. Amato acknowledged the prosecution’s case was based solely on circumstantial evidence—resting primarily on the testimony of two convicted felons and Williams’ former girlfriend Linsey Hardwick. Hardwick pleaded guilty last year to being an accessory after Johnson’s death. According to prosecutors, Williams killed Johnson for “snitching,” and Williams told Hardwick that Johnson “tried to take my life”— a reference to an earlier shooting case. Williams learned where Johnson would be on Dec. 27, 2012, and had Hardwick drive him there that afternoon. He got into the front passenger side of Johnson’s Mercedes Benz SUV and shot him. How Williams learned where Johnson would be remained an unanswered question during the trial. “We don’t know what he was thinking when a barrage of bullets went through his skull,” Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Gregory Rosen said of Johnson. “But we know who did it...He did it because he was angry; he did it because he was vengeful; and most importantly he did it because he could.” Rosen called Johnson’s killing an “assassination,” saying Williams “eradicated a human being from this planet.” Prosecutors provided extensive evidence about the cell phone records of Williams and Hardwick, including data that showed their cell phones pinging from a text message at the time of the murder near the crime scene. “Let’s do,” came from Hardwick’s phone at 2:32 p.m., followed three seconds later by “dip.” The defense argued that, beyond two photos showing Williams and Hardwick in the Leesburg Target store and a Delaware Target store before and after Johnson’s death, respectively, and phone records that show they drove from Loudoun to Dover, DE, and then to Colonial Beach, VA, in the days after the murder, there was no real evidence presented at trial. In his closing arguments, defense attorney Eric Demetriades pointed to the lack of physical evidence placing Williams either in Johnson’s SUV or Hardwick’s car and challenged the credibility of the witnesses—including allegations that investigators fed Hardwick details of the crime. “That’s how they build their case,” Demetriades said, adding that when Williams was charged in early 2013 the only evidence they had was the testimony of Eric Smith, the man who Williams visited in Colonial Beach. Smith came forward in early January 2013, saying Williams confessed to the crime. Demetriades argued that Hardwick, Smith and Venus Chand—who testified that Williams confessed to the crime in great detail while the two were housed in an Alexandria jail—all made up their stories, or used information they learned from sources other than Williams as a way to get leniency in their own sentences. “They’re getting out of jail,” Demetriades said. “They will say and do anything to get out,

to do more drugs and commit more crimes.” However, prosecutors countered that the stories from each person—who did not know each other or have contact about the case— include too many matching details to be made up. “They have details no one would have known except the killer,” Amato argued, adding that when Smith first came forward with his statement Jan. 4, 2013, he had details that law enforcement had not yet determined, including the type of gun used, and details that had not been made public, including that Johnson was shot in the chest, hands and head and that Johnson was smoking a blunt when he was killed. The defense also presented several other people who could have had a motive to kill Johnson, and presented evidence that Johnson’s girlfriend and two other friends were collecting drug money for Johnson immediately after his death, a charge all three denied. It was a complex trial when it came to stringing together the narrative of what happened. Some witnesses were called by both the prosecution and the defense to provide different
