The first graduates to spend all four years at Tuscarora High School—nicknamed “purebred Huskies” by their principal—prepare to receive their diplomas during a ceremony in Leesburg Monday. Loudoun County’s 13 high schools celebrated more than 4,500 graduates with commencement ceremonies Sunday through Wednesday.

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

Ashburn School Is Stage For SOL Reform Bill Signing

General Assembly Adopts Budget Without Medicaid Expansion Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

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 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 Continued on Page 61

heir last day of school for the year was two days out, but the students at Newton-Lee Elementary School knew last Wednesday was a pretty big deal, too. The governor was paying a visit. “He’s going to make a new law so we don’t have to take as many tests,” fourth grader Jayden McCoy said as he waited for Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) to arrive. “I’m really happy about this,” classmate Kylie Perkins chimed in. “No one I know likes the SOLs.” They’re right, mostly. To the shouts and cheers of a gym-full

Greason (R-32) and Del. K. Robert Krupicka Jr. (D-45), both of whom were in attendance, will reduce the number of SOL exams students in grades three through eight take from 22 to 17 beginning this fall. It promises also to make reforms to the exams to move away from multiple choice and toward questions that will better test students’ problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. To continue working on long-term assessment reforms, the new law establishes a Standards of Learning Innovation Committee under the leadership of Education Secretary Anne Holton, who also was in attendance at last week’s event. Before the signing, fourth grade students presented a skit to illustrate for their peers the process in which a bill, specifically HB930, becomes law. Playing roles as legislators, the students showed the bill moving from the House Education Committee, which Greason chairs, to the full House of Delegates, then to the Senate and finally signed by the governor, played by student Jack Madigan. “How can we draft this bill to help students, but still know how much they’re learn-

of students, teachers, parents and some of the top education and political leaders in the state, McAuliffe signed a bill into law that overhauls the state’s Standards of Learning mandates, requiring 23 percent fewer tests. And before he put pen to paper, McAuliffe expressed similar sentiments about the standardized tests as the students. “Our students are taking a number of tests and then taking tests to get ready for the tests. At the end of the day they’re learning to be champions at taking multiple choice bubble tests,” he said. “We’d rather see some critical reasoning and cognitive thought process going on because that’s how we know that you’re learning what you need for 21st century jobs.” The legislation, championed by Del.

confirmed that scenario in a field test. But Faw argued that Harry had malicious and willful intent to kill Tess based on previous altercations with his neighbors. Faw also pointed to Harry’s changing story to law enforcement in the weeks after Tess was killed. Jillian Betson, Altizer’s tenant, testified Harry came to her home after she discovered Tess had been killed and had a “stern conversation” with her. She said Harry came to her door and asked who the dog’s owners were and when Betson directed him to another neighboring property with dogs, he told Betson to not tell anyone about their conversation. Animal Control Officers Erin Peterson and Mark Stacks testified they visited Harry four times in the weeks following the incident and each time Harry added elements to his story. At first he said he was not aware of the death of the dog, the officers said. Then he acknowledged the dog’s death and admitted he shot at the dog to scare it. Later he admitted he shot toward the dog twice. In his ruling, Sincavage said there was a reasonable possibility the bullet could have ricocheted, although he agreed Harry was solely responsible for Tess’ death. The judge agreed that Harry shot too close to Tess. Before his sentencing, Harry apologized for the shooting. “Saying ‘I’m sorry’ is not enough,” he said, crying. “The pain will never go away…I am truly, truly sorry, and I don’t know what else I can say.” n

he Philomont man charged with shooting and killing his neighbor’s dog last fall was found not guilty of animal cruelty Friday in Loudoun County Circuit Court. John Harry, 68, was found guilty by Judge Stephen Sincavage only of the reckless handling of a firearm for the death of the black lab mix, Tess. He was sentenced to a 12-month suspended prison sentence, with 18 months of unsupervised probation, a $2,000 fine and a requirement to complete 200 hours of community service for the misdemeanor charge. According to testimony provided during the two-day trial, Tess’ owners Bill Altizer and Doug Sigman, had just finished dinner the night of Oct. 23 when Altizer let Tess out to run around. The men were visiting property they own next to Harry’s farm in Philomont near Snickersville Turnpike. The dog, according to Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Jason Faw, often roamed the western Loudoun property and had ventured on to neighbor’s property before. On his neighboring farm, Harry had set up a hunting stand with a feeding station in the woods near his house in an attempt to attract the small game that he believed were harming his livestock. Defense attorney Caleb Kershner said on the night of the shooting Harry was going out to his hunting stand to test a new infrared hunting flashlight, but had no intentions of hunting. When Harry received an alert from his motion-detection camera next to the hunting stand, he looked and saw what he initially thought was a coyote, according to his testimony. He then realized it was a dog. Having seen the dog appear numerous times on the camera, Harry attempted to scare the dog, according to his testimony. Harry said he aimed about 7 feet in front of the dog to kick up dirt and startle the dog enough to make it run away. He said he shot the dirt and heard the dog yelp. He testified he assumed that meant the dog was scared. He then fired a second shot to make sure the dog was scared away, according to his testimony. The gun he brought had a detachable scope that Harry knew was not properly calibrated, Kershner said, and it was shooting high and to the left based on Harry’s brief field test with the gun. At the outset of the trial, Kershner acknowledged that Harry shot Tess, but he maintained the bullet hit the ground first, ricocheted and then struck the dog. A defense ballistics expert

It only takes a few minutes for a pet to suffer illness or even death inside a hot car. Heat is especially hard on pets because they can only cool themselves by panting and sweating through their paws. With only hot air to breathe, dogs and other animals can suffer irreparable brain damage and even die of heatstroke.

Severance Denied Bond On Gun Possession Charge

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 Kirby, who served as the transportation director 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 home because she had illegal drugs and told Severance Charles 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 word.” n

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.

Leesburg Council Endorses Health Awareness Program

K1091-04-115926-3

he Town of Leesburg is signing on to a national initiative designed to improve community access to healthy food and physical activity through education and professional training. The Town Council last week passed a resolution identifying a specific set of goals that would establish Leesburg as a participating community in the Healthy Eating Active Living program. The HEAL goals, recommended by the town’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, focus on workplace wellness, future land use and transportation and physical activity and nutrition to provide healthy choices to all town residents. The town staff will work with HEAL representatives to determine what policies best fit Leesburg’s needs and provide the council with regular updates and recommendations on the status of the work. Parks and Recreation Director Rich Williams described the list as a starting point and said contributions from other department leaders will be important for the effort to be successful. “The [HEAL] campaign is about modifying a culture of a community and workplace… it’s trying to instill a cultural change and awareness of healthy opportunities,” Williams said. “Anytime you can create healthy opportunities for your community you’re doing a good thing.” Funded by the Kaiser Foundation, HEAL offers its partnering communities access to a

number of resources including regional trainings, webinars, strategies for successful policies and on-site staff assistance. Marisa Jones, assistant program manager for the Institute for Public Health and Innovation, pitched the idea to the Town Council earlier this year. “It’s really great that Leesburg is taking advantage of these free resources available to

them,” Jones said. “I think the town should be commended; basically it’s saying that they care about the health and well being of their community and want to do what they can.” Through the program a number of HEAL communities have hosted healthy and active living workshops sponsored by the organization, valued at $9,000. According to Williams, the program will not be an additional cost to the town, but, if it is successful in getting residents to embrace healthy living, it could help keep down insurance costs associated with obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Other Virginia localities such as Charlottesville, Crewe, Haymarket, Lovettsville, Middleburg, Staunton and Williamsburg have adopted the program. n

Newcomer Phillips Launches Run For Town Council Seat

ith three Leesburg Town Council seats on the ballot in November, another contender, Jeff Phillips, added his name to the candidate list. His filing brings the total to six candidates. Phillips, 57, a U.S. Army Reserve officer who moved to Leesburg last July, said it’s the town’s small town charm and the historic, yet diverse, community that attracted him. Making his first run for public office, Phillips said he would focus on enhancing services, obtaining more funding from state and county governments, ensuring public safety, improving quality of life, expanding public transportation and growing the town’s job base. “I have a background in the government and the private sector and I understand fiscal responsibility and I understand urban planning,” he said Monday. “I will bring my leadership and management experience to the role to help people work together identifying and achieving those goals.” During his 35 years with the Army, the Connecticut Jeff Phillips native has completed tours in Iraq, Baghdad, Egypt and Germany. He served as the White House liaison for the Department of Veterans Affairs under President George W. Bush and as the community director and the subcommittee staff director in the House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs. In the coming months Phillips looks forward to meeting with voters and getting to know the town better, he said. He is planning to officially kick off his campaign later in the year. Phillips will be on the Nov. 4 ballot along with incumbent council members Kevin Wright, Marty Martinez and Kelly Burk, and challengers Dwight Dopilka and Suzanne Fox.

council is willing to support them and we want to make sure that everyone can be successful,” she said. Burk also said increased tourism from Washington, DC, will help stimulate that growth. Maintaining a low tax burden, quality services, public transportation and public safety also rank high on her priority list. Fairfax County Supervisor John Foust, who is the Democratic candidate to replace retiring U. S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R) in the 10th Congressional District said Burk’s honesty is what makes her a great leader. Justin Fairfax, former Assistant U.S Attorney and co-chair of Sen. Mark Warner’s 2014 campaign, spoke on Warner’s behalf. “Kelly Burk is special, she stands out,” he said. “She is one of the great community leaders that we have in the Commonwealth of Virginia…she is dedicated to her job and her community and to her friends.” For her campaign strategy, Burk said going door-to-door really makes a difference with town voters. “That personal contact is really important so people can talk to you and ask you what your opinions are and what your issues are.” The town election is Nov. 4. Three town council seats and the mayor’s seat will be on the ballot.

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.

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 will be fully staffed with 22 employees. “We want to hire one more person and we don’t have anywhere to house that person,” Rizer said, referring to positions supervisors created to improve economic development. “We have staff scattered in three different places in the county building. We reorganized our space…but at this point I believe we have run out of options in our current facility for growth.” At the same time as the request for additional space came a proffer from Loudoun Station in Ashburn to provide office space for 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.” But supervisors also said that, if they wanted to move a department out of Leesburg, Economic Development is one that would be at the top of the list. County Administrator Tim Hemstreet said that is one of the reasons the item was brought before the committee. “Of all

the departments in the county it is not uncommon for Economic Development to not be in the government center,” he said. Hemstreet said there could be some reconfiguration of the fifth floor space to give the department more room. Eliminating the hallway that circles the entire floor could provide more office space. In addition, he noted the original plans for the government center included some options for expanding the building into the plaza area between the parking garage and the Continued on Next Page

the larger budget deliberations. The project was never given priority in the county’s capital facilities funding plan and in 2010 supervisors voted to put an end to all work on the project. Evaluation of the needs of county departments has not been updated since then. The county’s adopted Capital Needs Assessment does not anticipate construction of a new government center until 2026. But supervisors acknowledged the need for Economic Development and other departments is more acute. The committee is recommending that the full board direct the staff to research options for the Department of Economic Development, including off-site options like Loudoun Station, as well as to have the Finance, Government Services and Operations Committee take a holistic look at the office space needs for the county government. “We don’t want to get to the point where we are throwing a lot of money out in leases where building a building to house the government center is less costly,” County Chairman Scott K.

existing building. But that raised the question of where the additional parking for a larger center could be accommodated. The idea of moving the department also has raised larger policy questions the Board of Supervisors must answer. “The real critical need is to first establish philosophically how the board wants to see the county staff housed and then look at space needs to accomplish that,” Director of the Department of General Services Richard Pezzullo told supervisors on the board’s Economic Development Committee. Throughout 2007 the supervisors evaluated potential locations for a new county government center, eventually focusing on two new sites in Leesburg and one in Ashburn. The work, which included in-depth analysis of the space needs for each county department, was spurred by escalating lease costs at off-site locations and plans at the time for court uses to expand into the government center. Three sites were chosen as finalists in 2008, but when the recession hit, the board chose to evaluate the project as part of

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. Transportation plans ultimately call for Evergreen

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 last week accepted more than $34 million from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority to help pay for some of Loudoun’s muchneeded 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 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 money later gives the county time to build support for the project.

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

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

of a replacement station for the Sterling Volunteer Fire-Rescue Company; relocation and expansion of the Sterling Library; and renovations to the Sterling Community Center.

Roadside trash seems to be the cause of flooding that closed the Leesburg Bypass during a heavy rainstorm last Thursday. According to VDOT, someone left large white bags along the road that clogged the drainage grates causing flooding that covered all four lanes of the highway in the area between the West Market Street intersection and the Children’s Center Road overpass. The bypass flooding made for a long commute home for residents living west of Leesburg. Gridlock was made worst by the closing of Dry Mill Road—which serves as a detour when the bypass is closed—to repair a culvert that washed out, collapsing the road. That work could be completed as early as Monday, according to VDOT.

he new Cynthia Ann McMullen Interfaith Chapel at the Inova Loudoun Medical Campus in Leesburg was dedicated Tuesday. The chapel was made possible by a gift of $75,000 from Integrus Holdings, Inc. and the Hamberger family. It was built as a place of worship for people of all faiths. It was the vision of McMullen, mother-inlaw of Integrus Holdings’ CEO Scott Hamberger, that inspired the project. The chapel was dedicated in honor of McMullen, who died suddenly before the project was complete. “She wasn’t a prideful woman but I think she would have approved,” Hamberger said. “I

Moore, along with Chaplain Farhanahz Ellis, representing the All Dulles Muslim Society, and Rabbi Michael Ragazin, of the Congregation Sha’are Shalom, offered blessings during Tuesday’s ceremony. The front focal point of the chapel is a large glass tablet engraved with the globe and the words “Peace” and “Faith” in many languages. “This place reflects the love of God and embodies the spirit of Cynthia and the diverse community that we live in,” Moore said. n

Hillsboro Advances Plans To Install Modern Water System Margaret Morton

mmorton@leesburgtoday.com

onday evening’s thunderstorm hit the Hillsboro area hard, damaging a heritage oak tree and crushing the Virts springhouse and a town welcome sign. “It just hit out of the blue—in two minutes,” when Mother Nature unleashed hail and horizontal lashing rain along with high winds, Mayor Roger Vance said Tuesday morning. “It must have been a massive microburst,” Vance said, causing trees to fall throughout town and sending many residents to the safety of their basements. A significant casualty was the huge white oak that stood just outside the Methodist Church cemetery. “It took a huge chunk out of the top of

the tree,” Vance said. A keen photographer, Vance later recorded the damage to the town. Another town icon that took a direct hit was the small stone springhouse near the town entrance. Another tree fell on a parked car and tore up a fence. The storm also took out one of the town’s welcome sign that exhorts motorists to drive carefully. “It got smashed to smithereens,” the mayor said. Councilman John Dean’s trees also took a big hit, and Vance noted that the town has just formed a group to oversee, among other objectives, a tree replanting program. “We did it in anticipation that a lot of our ‘legacy’ trees may come down. And storms like this are a clear indication why we need to do this.” n

he long, complicated story of a small town working to address major water woes is coming to a happy ending—a result that once appeared to be in doubt. Loudoun County has not always had the best relationships with its towns, but in Hillsboro’s case it was big brother that ultimately came to the rescue of its small sibling. One of the commonwealth’s smallest towns, Hillsboro has a population around 100 residents. For years, the town used the Hill Tom Spring as its public water source, but concerns over the quality and the reliability of that supply resulted in a state Department of Health order that a well system to be installed and use of the

spring stopped. That was years ago. Since then the town’s attempts to find a good well proved difficult. Wells failed, dried up after some months or were not high producing—leading to continuous consultations with the state. But, during the most recent go-round, the town reprogrammed an earlier VDH grant to hire Emery and Garrett to conduct a hydrogeologic study to find water. Based on the consultant’s research the town drilled an exploratory well in town and it looked promising, according to Mayor Roger Vance. The exploratory well produced between 20 gallons and 25 gallons per minute, he said. Then, it became a question of how the small town in which residents already pay high water rates could fund construction of a well,

• The Town Council Thursday unanimously approved a $329,900 contract to purchase a house and 1.5-acre lot at 12A E. Pennsylvania Ave., adjacent to the town office. The Lovettsville acquisition would provide a buffer for the town office property as well as to permit expansion options, including constructing a larger town government center and more public parking. The town will tap into its rainy day budget reserve—totaling about $1.5 million—to complete the deal. Following the council’s vote, Town Manager Keith Markle said he hoped to go to closing June 23. The town plans to subdivide

the property—putting the house and land not intended for parking or expansion back on the market by about mid July, with the hope to recoup most of the money. • The Lovettsville Game Club holds its annual carnival—complete with live bands and other carnival fixtures—6:30-10 p.m. daily through Saturday, June 21. Community dinners will be held nightly at 5 p.m. For information, go to: lovettsvillegameclub.org. • Longtime fifth grade teacher Edward Davis has retired after more than 39 years at Lovettsville Elementary School. “Mr. Davis” began his career in education in 1975 and joined the county’s school system in 1988. Davis gained a reputation for sharing life lessons that helped prepare all his students for their future, as well as instilling required curriculum subjects.

• Mayor Bob Zoldos reminds residents to register for the June 28 Rob Jones Journey Benefit Poker Run, which is sponsored by the Lovettsville Lions and other groups.

low-interest loan from the state, it became painfully clear “there was no way we could finance two-thirds of a $1.9 million grant. We couldn’t meet the loan ratio, so to keep it going, we eliminated portions [of the project] to bring the cost down, to try to do it with a combination of loan and grant,” Vance said. The state’s drinking water revolving loan fund could provide funds with a 30-year term and a 2.5 per cent interest rate. Even stripped down, the project would still require about $700,000 to be financed. To Hillsboro leaders’ dismay, the Virginia Resource Authority determined last fall that the town— with a customer base of only 32, or 40 if the entire town were served—could not support bonds in that amount. “That was our dilemma,” Vance said. The Town Council briefed the Board of Supervisors on the situation last fall, with Vance saying the town could not move forward unless it could find another funding source. Supervisors added funding for a study in the Capital Improvements Program budget early this year as the town continued talks with the state health department and the VRA. The two bodies in effect said if the town could find the funding to supplement the loan, they would commit to the grant and the loan. Through Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) members of council met with Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn), chairman of the board’s Finance, Government Services and Operations Committee, and County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large). “[Clarke] also encouraged us to re-examine everything, and to request the funds for the entire project. She told us to come back and tell the board ‘what you need to get it right,’” Vance recalled. The final $1.7 million figure would cover all the major needs, including extending the water lines throughout the whole town, replacing all the old lines, installing new storage tanks up on the Short Hill at the existing treatment plant and replacing the underground storage tanks. The county’s funding of $1,120 million becomes available July 1 and—combined with a $480,000 health department grant and $25,000 from the town’s reserve fund—that will be enough to get work construction work underway. “We’re still going to have to raise about $100,000,” Vance said, possibly through a special real estate surtax. “The combination of state and county grants combined with a loan supported by each household in Hillsboro will allow our town—in less than two years—to have safe drinking water for all,” Councilwoman Amy Marasco Newton said. Noting Hillsboro’s plight has been a top priority for VDH for municipal assistance, Vance said “We’re bringing a 19th century system into the 21st century. There won’t be a lot of frills and bells and whistles, but it will solve problems that have plagued the community for 25 years or more.” Design is ongoing; and construction is expected to start early next year and become operational in fall 2015. The town is trying to mesh the project with VDOT so that all the underground utility relocation work planned for the town’s traffic calming project could be done in concert with the work needed for the water system. Both Vance and Marasco Newton expressed gratitude for the assistance the town has received at the state and local levels. Praising the assistance of Loudoun Water and the supervisors, Vance said “We couldn’t have done it without them.” Marasco Newton also praised the efforts of the all-volunteer council and others who have worked hard over the past three years, “writing grants, taking water samples, and preparing reports to ensure we comply with federal and state regulations.” Particularly, she hailed county leaders for developing a workable and affordable solution. The moral of the story, Vance said, is that “reasonable people see a problem and say ‘we can solve it.’” n

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

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.”

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 34

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.

Fuller told his team if they won the state title, he would get his ears pierced.

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

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.”

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

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

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

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.

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

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. I have to really stress that they’re to be used.” She often enlists her friend and student, Continued on Page 42

Berringer also helps run Swanson’s Etsy shop, which has allowed her to sell her work across the country and internationally. Another student, ceramicist Jenny Wolfer, assists Swanson in the studio, helping her to prepare materials for classes so that Swanson can focus on teaching students and on making her own work. Swanson and a group of fellow artists also have started a Loudoun branch of Empty Bowls, which brings artists together to contribute to hunger relief organizations. The Loudoun group has scheduled a fundraiser benefiting local hunger relief charities for Sept. 12 at Stone Tower Winery southwest of Leesburg.

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 con-

temporaries 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

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

Angling For Access

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

“Funny how Loudoun County, the richest county in Virginia, tries to

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. Both chambers 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 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

he adoption of a state budget clears the way for the appointment of new judges around the commonwealth. Included on that list is Loudoun County Circuit Court, which has been down a judge and operating with only two permanent judges—Judge Burke F. McCahill and Judge Stephen Sincavage. Retired Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne has been continuing to hear cases since he left the bench in December to help out his colleagues. Following the General Assembly’s return to Richmond to address any amendments Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) makes to the adopted budget, a combined House and Senate Courts of Justice Committee is expected to convene to vet the

ing,” Jack asked. “Why don’t we have them take fewer tests,” another student said. “Yeah, let’s do that,” the students announced in unison. Greason, who is a frequent guest speaker at Newton-Lee where his daughter Grace is in third grade, commended the students for explaining the process. “This one was a little more complicated,” he said. He said he first met with McAuliffe after he was elected last year to talk about how together Republicans and Democrats could make real changes to the way Virginia measures student success. The legislation underwent about 20 revi-

judicial nominees. Then the nominees— the identity of Loudoun’s has not been publicly revealed—will be confirmed by both chambers. The appointment will be effective July 1. In addition, the adopted budget includes funding for a fourth Circuit Court judge in the first year of the biennial budget. However, given the quick turn around time for a second judgeship to start July 1, Loudoun’s delegation is expected to work to move that funding to the second year of the budget. That will give the local bar associations a full year to vet and select its nominee, making the fourth judge effective July 1, 2015. These new appointments are likely the last new judges Loudoun will see for years to come. McCahill was appointed in 2000, and Sincavage started serving on the bench last summer. n

sions through input from legislators in the House of Delegates and the Senate, and education leaders including superintendents and teachers from around the state. “We took input from everyone because this is important and getting this law right was very, very important to all of us,” Greason said. Greason and McAuliffe gently explained to the students that they are in different political parties, but the SOL reform bill is an example of politicians putting aside differences to work together. “We come from two different parties but that does not mean that we can’t come together, sit at a table, find a compromise and come out with a great idea,” McAuliffe said, not mentioning the fight over the state budget that was brewing in Richmond. “Today really is a great day for all of us.” n

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

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

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,

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

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
