as that of Loudoun’s recently retired superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick’s, is more straightforward. In addition to Williams’ base salary, he will receive a $12,000 annual vehicle allowance, $25,000 in deferred salary—money deposited into supplemental retirement accounts—and up to $14,000 in moving expenses in the first year. Each of the school systems used in the comparison by Leesburg Today also contribute to the cost of any chosen Virginia Retirement System plan at the same rate they do for other administrators. Each also offers similar health care coverage and life insurance plans as it offers other employees. In Williams’ case, Loudoun will pay $5,000 a year for life insurance, $16,001 for health insurance for him and his family and $34,800 into VRS, the same percentage of salary the school system pays for other administrators.

chool superintendents are usually the highest paid public employees in most communities, and it’s no different in Loudoun County. Eric Williams, who stepped in as the county’s new superintendent last week, will be paid a compensation package of about $277,000 to lead Virginia’s third largest school system. His base salary is a hefty 42 percent raise over what he made as superintendent of York County Public Schools, but that district has about 12,500 students compared with Loudoun’s more than 70,000. Williams’ compensation package falls in line with what Virginia’s largest school systems are paying their top leaders. His salary is more than $47,000 less than Steven Walts’, superintendent of Prince William County schools, the next largest school system in the commonwealth, and $13,300 more than Superintendent Aaron Spence’s pay to lead Virginia Beach public schools,

which has a few hundred fewer students than Loudoun. (See graphic.) Loudoun County School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said when negotiating Williams’ contract the board conducted a similar side-by-side comparison, and looked at current compensation rates at school systems in the region about the same size. “The board empowered me to negotiate within agreed upon parameters,” he said. “I believe that the board and superintendent reached a reasonable agreement.” A look at the contracts of several Virginia superintendents shows some large additions to the school leaders’ base salaries. For example, Prince William County Superintendent Walts’ compensation package comes with an annual “supplemental benefit” of $28,245 for expenses such as health care, dependent care, home security and college savings and Fairfax County Public Schools Superintendent Karen Garza receives an annual stipend of $24,000 to cover housing expenses, according to their contracts.

plan to increase revenue while minimizing the impact on customers’ bills, PRMG President Robert Ori said. A key change is the increase in the revenue generated by the fixed rate charged to every account from 6.5 percent of total system rate revenues to 20 percent over five years. Currently, most homeowners pay a $14.40 quarterly base charge. Under the proposal, that would increase to $18.19 this year and move up to $57.40 by 2019. Usage rates also would be incremen-

he Leesburg Town Council this week scheduled a July 22 public hearing on a package of new water and sewer service rates designed to solidify funding for the town’s utility system. While the new rates would likely result in higher bills for many of the town’s 15,000 utility customers, quarterly bills are expected to remain lower than most other municipal systems around the commonwealth. The proposed changes result from a consultant study performed by Public Resources Management Group, Inc., which found that the current rates would not generate enough revenue to cover the town’s utility operations. The firm recommended a five-year

teers on boards, council and commissions have been granted permission to hunt and to fish on the watershed property to control the deer population and curb damage to neighboring crops, according to Town Manager Robert W. Lohr Jr. Deer control is a high priority, particularly with the high incidence of Lyme disease, and neighboring farmers who have crops, including hay, soybeans and corn to protect, Lohr said. “We can’t allow 1,262 acres of deer populating.” The town’s management plan also

includes timbering in select areas and dealing with gypsy moth and other infestations. Access to the property is granted by the town manager. A self-confessed “avid” hunter, Lohr said he had not shot deer on the watershed property since 2006, although he occasionally fishes there. To gain access, employees and volunteers are required to go through a wildlife management training program, including hunter safety, and acknowledge with a signature they have read and agree to abide by the regulations. The employee also has to provide a hunting license. Continued on Page 61

Bonnie H. Hoffman appealed the verdict. The appeal claimed that, without a specific definition, the county’s prohibition on “hindering” law officers should be viewed synonymous with “obstruction.” Under Virginia law, obstruction does not occur when a person fails to cooperate fully or renders the officer’s work more difficult, as long as the officer is not impeded or prevented from performing his or her required task, according to the appeals court opinion written by Chief Judge Walter S. Felton Jr. The appeals court disagreed that “hinder” and “obstruct” were synonymous, but instead found that hindering, resisting and obstructing were overlapping offenses in the county ordinance. The judges also ruled there was sufficient evidence to conclude that Roberts had hindered the deputies in their effort to prevent crime, safeguard life and property, and preserve the peace. Loudoun Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman hailed the ruling as significant. “This is not only a significant win for Loudoun County, but for all local jurisdictions that wish to tighten the laws to prevent people from interfering in a law enforcement investigation,” he said in a statement. “Further, it reinforces the position that local jurisdictions will take the necessary steps to aide and protect those that help keep our communities safe.” Assistant commonwealth’s attorneys Sean P. Morgan and Amy M. McMullen represented the county in the appeal. n

he Virginia Court of Appeals has upheld a conviction under a Loudoun County ordinance that prohibits residents from “hindering” deputies during the performance of their duties. The appeal stemmed from a response to a domestic assault complaint in February 2013. In that case, deputies were called to a Sterling home where there had been an altercation between Dre Martina Roberts and her father. As deputies tried to determine which party was the predominant physical aggressor in the suspected assault, Roberts refused to answer questions, did not provide identification and attempted to order the officers out of the house. After instructing Roberts to stay away from her father for the rest of the evening, a deputy asked repeatedly if she understood his instructions, without response. He finally directed her to provide a yes or no answer. She replied, “Yes or no answer.” That resulted in her arrest under Loudoun County Ordinance 654.09. Adopted in 1985, the ordinance states: “No person shall resist, hinder or obstruct any Deputy Sheriff in making an arrest, in serving a warrant, order, notice or process or in the performance or discharge of any of his or her duties.” Roberts was found guilty at trial and fined $2,500.

Loudoun County’s emergency responders are getting a big communication systems upgrade. The Board of Supervisors last week signed off on a five-year $16.2 million contract with Motorola Solutions, Inc. The project includes upgrades to the county’s computer-aided dispatch, law enforcement records management, fire records management system, mobile data system, field-base reporting, corrections management and volunteer station administration systems. The contract is a result of a consultant study that began in 2011 and updates some systems that have been in place since 1991. The county currently operates a Motorola communication system. Motorola was the highest of four bidders for the project. Tiburon bid $7.4 million; New World, $7.6 million; and Intergraph, $14.3 million. County staff members who reviewed the bids found Motorola provided the most complete package to meet the needs of the sheriff’s

After two weekend fires that displaced four residents and caused nearly $90,000 in damage, the fire-rescue department has Tuesday issued a new warning for residents to be careful with the disposal of flammable materials. The first incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. Friday, July 4, when crews were dispatched to a house fire at 22915 Cobb House Road near Middleburg. Units from Middleburg, Aldie, Philomont, South Riding, Arcola and Leesburg responded. They extinguished a small exterior fire and removed smoke from the house. Most of the damage was to the garage and the residents were not displaced. The Fire Marshal’s Office determined the fire resulted from improper disposal of fireworks and estimated damages at $20,000. A firefighter was transported to the hospital for treatment of an injury described as minor. At 5:45 a.m. Saturday July 5, crews were called to a house fire at 1024 Tottenham Court in Sterling. Units from Sterling Park, Kincora, Cascades, Ashburn and Fairfax County responded. A fire in the rear of a three-story townhouse was quickly extinguished. The residents had safely evacuated prior to arrival of emergency personnel and no injuries were reported. The American Red Cross responded to the scene and assisted the four displaced residents. Investigators determined the fire was caused by the improper disposal of charcoal grill contents. Damage to the home was estimated at between $60,000 and $70,000. Residents are urged to use caution when disposing of any flammable materials in or around a home. Cigarette butts, grill and fire pit remnants, fireplace ashes and fireworks are among the many flammable items that can result in fire unless disposed of properly. Residents asked to soak ashes and burned materials thoroughly in water for several days before placing them into a closed metal container.

with the suspect ceases. In two of the sheriff’s office cases, callers reported being threatened with arrest by a fake law enforcement officer for running a red light and by a fake Clerk of the Court Office worker for failure to pay a speeding ticket. Another resident reported a call from a fake utility company representative threatening to cut off power. In each case the scammer pressed for immediate payment through pre-paid money cards. Also, a South Riding resident came forward this week to report a call received in April. The caller said the resident won cash and prizes, but would have to pay taxes before the winnings would be released. The payment was required using a Green Dot card. The resident made a payment and then made additional payments when the scammer called back to say more money was needed. The Leesburg Police Department says people too often fall victim to scam artists looking to turn a quick profit by playing on their fears. The department also is warning about “phishing” attempts in which scammers fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords, serial numbers and credit card details by pretending to be a trustworthy person or business. Phishing is typically carried out using email or an instant message, although phone calls also have been used. Both Leesburg Police and the sheriff’s office urge residents to immediately report cases in which they suspect they have been targeted in these types of schemes.

eesburg’s newest ABC liquor store at Fort Evans Plaza II features a new design concept intended to give customers a deluxe, hassle-free shopping experience. Modern fixtures such as LED and track lighting, wood trim, metal display towers, and custom Corian counters are emphasized by the 4,500-square-foot store’s open space, which Carol Mawyer, public relations representative for ABC, said is ideal for easy navigating. “What we’ve done is looked at shopping patterns at other high-end retail stores and we’ve used that model in our stores,” she said. The layout includes wide aisles and a direct line of sight from the front of the store to the back. The concept encourages customers to browse more and gives them the opportunity to explore familiar products as well as some they’ve never seen, Mawyer said. “It’s not your grandfather’s ABC store.” The new location at 506 Fort Evans Road NE has been up and running since June 27. It is only the second of what ABC is calling its “premier store;” one opened in Williamsburg in March. There are plans to open another premier store in the Virginia Beach area this fall.

The meetings will be held Thursday, July 10, at 8 a.m., 1 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. in the Town Hall Lower Level Conference Room 1. Representatives from the town’s Office of Capital Projects and contractor Arthur Construction Company Inc. will be on hand to provide project updates.

series about a CIA agent attempting to thwart an undercover Iranian attack before a war ensues with the U.S. A Leesburg resident since 2007, Henshaw wrote the novel, a follow up to 2012’s “Red Cell”—a term used to describe the agency’s intelligence think tank—as a nod to the country’s need to think outside the box to defeat terrorists. “The theme that I’ve been hitting on is simply that, in the U.S., we’re in a position where other countries that want to face us now but can’t are going to look for creative and innovative ways they can do that other than asymmetric warfare.” When writing the story, Henshaw said he wanted it be as authentic as possible. “I can’t read other spy novels or movies because all I do is see everything they get wrong…so I’ve written the kind of book that I would want to read,” he said. That required extensive research and several discussions with the CIA’s Publication Review Board to determine if the content was permissible.

A free self-defense seminar taking place Saturday at the Basics Gracie Jiu-Jitsu martial arts studio in Leesburg is open to all women, ages 13 and older, interested in learning how to fend off attackers. Owner and instructor Marco Moreno said the class, from 2-4 p.m., will teach self-defense techniques including how to break free from an attacker, how to avoid being taken to the ground and how to escape from underneath an attacker if pinned. When women are overpowered, he said, the best method for self-defense is all about leverage, body mechanics, grabbing and wrist releases. “We think that for women its not about fighting and beating their attacker, it’s more about escaping so if we get them to escape that’s almost like a win,” Moreno said noting that that approach will allow them to use the least amount of energy for more efficiency. Moreno said that the training has helped his students in their everyday life by building their confidence. “When the assailant is looking for a target he might look for a woman who is distracted or is an easy prey…if you see a women that is confident and determined and knows what she’s doing they may think twice about attacking them.” No prior training or physical requirements are necessary. An adult must accompany students under 18. Anyone who attends the class will receive a special offer for the studio’s regular women’s self-defense program. Call 571-278-4122 to sign up for the class. For more information, go to www.thebasicsgjj.com. The studio is located at 525A E. Market St. in Leesburg.

he Loudoun Board of Supervisors last week signed off on a staff recommendation to proceed with plans for a 92,000-squarefoot expansion for county court operations in downtown Leesburg. Under the action, architects will proceed with the design for both the Phase III and Phase IV expansions—providing enough space to accommodate anticipated needs through 2025. Supervisors agreed to fold in the Phase IV expansion after planners determined only 7,000 square feet of additional space would be required, not 35,000 square feet as previously envisioned. By adding the Phase IV work to the current 85,000-square-foot expansion instead of undertaking construction in 2025, supervisors expect to save $1.6 million. The county staff will hold a second community meeting about the project at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 17, in the Board Room of the Loudoun County Government Center, 1 Harrison St. in Leesburg. Representatives of the Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure and the architectural and engineering firm of Dewberry Architects, Inc., will present information about the project’s design. The new facility will be located on the site of the current Church Street Parking Lot, across from the existing courthouse buildings, at the corner of Church Street and Edwards Ferry Road.

he Loudoun Board of Supervisors will seek approval to issue $208 million in new debt when voters head to the polls Nov. 4. The funds will be used for eight construction projects and to purchase fire-rescue vehicles. Supervisors voted last Wednesday to divide those into three referenda questions, although some wanted four. Under a resolution being sent to the Circuit Court for approval, the ballot will include questions for: • Public Safety Projects: $34,690,000 to finance the construction of a new animal shelter; purchase land and construct a replacement for the Sterling Park Rescue Squad station; and to purchase a Hazmat unit, seven ambulances, a fire truck, a fire engine and a tower truck.

9 near Waterford. So far two locations have been identified as options, along Sycolin Road adjacent to the planned Advanced Technology Academy or at the Government Support Center south of Leesburg, but County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said the board has not selected a location. Under the board action, the referendum question will stipulate the shelter will be built in the Leesburg area or east of Leesburg. The second area of debate was whether to separate the $83,175,000 proposed for the Advanced Technology Academy from the other school projects. Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) pressed for four questions. He said he was concerned about public support for the ATA and feared that, if opposition emerged to that project, the bond question could fail— leaving the county without funding to build the schools needed to accommodate increasing enrollment.

York and Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) disagreed, saying the academy—a $114.6 million project for which funding has been repeatedly delayed over the past decade—is proving to be popular in the community. Buona said his concern was the opposite of Letourneau’s. Noting the trend of school bonds passing by more narrow margins in recent years, he said financing for two schools serving the same part of the county could lack support from voters in other areas. Buona said the “vast” countywide support for the academy should be used to generate greater support for the other school projects. Letourneau’s motion to request four bond questions fell short on a 4-5 vote. He was joined by Supervisors Eugene Delgaudio (R-Sterling), Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) and Volpe in the effort to divide school financing from the ATA project. n

oversees all phases of construction within Loudoun County.” Also, Hemstreet told supervisors that he has completed a departmental reorganization that transfers responsibility for zoning enforcement from Building & Development to the planning department. The Department of Planning Services has been renamed the Department of Planning and Zoning. Planning and zoning functions previously were housed together in the former Department of Planning, Zoning and Community Development, which was dismantled in the early 1990s. Seigfried joined the county staff as a planner and over the past 27 years has moved up through the department. He was named assistant director in charge of Land Subdivision in 2005. Seigfried is only the second director to lead the department. Wharton, then the director of engineering, was named as director when the depart-

ment was created in 1991.

of the County Government Center. Last week, county supervisors authorized the department to research alternate office space options. At the suggestion of the finance committee, the board also directed that panel to take a broader look at the government’s overall space needs. • Name The Park: The Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services is inviting residents to propose names for a 7.7-acre passive park at the Dulles Town Center. The land includes a segment of old Vestals Gap Road and is planned to include a trail, benches and historical markers. Under county policies, new parks should be named in relation to the surrounding community, a nearby street or to describe its function. In some cases, parks may be named in honor of significant individuals who are no longer living. County supervisors initiated the name search last week and it could take two months to complete the process. n

County Notebook:

• County Eyes Federal Lobbyist: The Board of Supervisors last week authorized the drafting of a request for proposals that could lead to the county government hiring its own lobbyist to represent Loudoun’s interest on Capitol Hill. Arlington, Fairfax and Prince William counties already have contracts for federal legislative affairs efforts. Such a contract is expected to cost $108,000 to $168,000 annually. • New Office Space Study: A request from the Department of Economic Development for more office space has prompted a broader initiative to evaluate the space needs of the whole county government. DED is one of the few departments that has continued to grow following the recession and its 22-employee staff won’t fit in the agency’s space, designed to house 14, on the fifth floor

Loudoun County Administrator Tim Hemstreet has promoted Mike Seigfried to serve as the next director of the Department of Building and Development. Seigfried, who joined the county staff in 1987, has served as interim director since Jan. 1, following the retirement of Terry Wharton. Hemstreet told county supervisors that Seigfried emerged as the top choice following a nationwide search. “Mike stood out as an exceptional leader and manager,” he said. “I am confident that under his leadership, the Department of Building and Development will continue to provide for the public’s safety and welfare as it

• Parks, Recreation and Library Projects: $10,935,000 to relocate, renovate, expand and equip the Sterling Library; renovate and equip the Sterling Community Center; and for other similar projects. • School Projects: $162,900,000 to build and equip an elementary school in the Dulles North area; to build and equip a middle school in the Dulles North area; and to build and equip the Advanced Technology Academy, and for other school projects. There were two points of contention during the supervisors’ discussion of its referendum question options. The first was raised by Supervisor Suzanne Volpe (R-Algonkian) who requested a change in the wording of the first question to make clear the new animal shelter would be built in a location more accessible to eastern Loudoun residents. She said too few know about the existence of the current shelter, located on Rt.

lthough the 76th annual Ladies Board of Inova Loudoun Hospital’s Rummage Sale is still months away, organizers are moving into high gear. The first round of donation collections will be held Saturday at two locations. The Ladies Board hopes to get this year’s event off to a good start and that begins at homes across Loudoun. For many residents the collection provides an opportunity to clean out cupboards, attics and basements—all in support of a good community cause. “The donations will be magically transformed into nursing scholarships and patient equipment and services at Inova Loudoun Hospital,” said Ladies Board Co-Chairman Sue Clewis of the massive sale that last year raised a record $200,000. From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday volunteers will be filling large trailers with donations brought to the Lansdowne hospital campus or the Loudoun Medical Campus on Cornwall Street in Leesburg. Red balloons will be placed to direct traffic to the marked trailers at each location. Tax receipts will be provided to donors. A wide variety of items are needed— License #11L06090 & Insured in particular rare or valuable items that can be added to the silent auction. Also needed are furniture, clothing, books, household items, linens, lamps, sports equipment, silver, antiques, small appliances, rugs, jewelry, glassware, china, shoes—you name it. Items, where possible, should be packed in boxes with lids/ flaps shut. Clothes should be packed in plastic bags and closed with ties. Some items cannot be accepted, including mattresses or large appliances. To find out what is acceptable, call 703-771-2985 or check the donation guidelines online at www.LadiesBoard.org/rummage.

mind than the irrigation,” he said, adding that those customers with larger yards and most likely more runoff should be charged more. Several council members requested increasing the sewer billing cap. “I’m more comfortable with a 40,000 cap number,” Councilman Kevin Wright said, “and almost want to change the rates because at some point behavior is going to change.” As a way to discourage customers from using high quantities of water each quarter, users will be charged a high water rate based on any excessive use, according to Wyks. The new rates also retain the 25 percent discount for customers meeting the Loudoun County Tax Relief Qualifications. As a whole, Town Manager John Wells said, the plan covers all of the requirements the town needs to meet its fiscal policy. “You have a recommendation that meets your bond covenants, that puts you on solid footing over five years and has moderate increases over a period of time.” n

to the sewer system, according to Wyks. Based on historical data, the average residential customer uses 15,000 to 20,000 gallons per quarter and the consultants suggested implementing a 30,000 galloon billing cap for sewer service. Therefore, customers would not incur wastewater charges more than 30,000 gallons a quarter or 10,000 gallons per month on average. Currently, Ori said, customers are paying more in wastewater charges than in water charges, but it’s not fair to assume that customers are using that much irrigation. Umstattd said the town should not assume that water used for irrigation does not enter the sewer system. “As a Town Council we have to look at a bigger picture because now we’re seeing an interrelationship. I see an awful lot of in lawn irrigation systems that result in water in the sidewalk and water going into the gutter.” Ori agreed that regular watering does have an impact on sewage treatment, but not as great as Umstattd asserted. “I don’t think irrigating is going to have that much runoff into the storm drain…its more rain that’s causing that in my

tally increased over the next five years. Under the changes, a typical residential quarterly water and sewer bill—for a customer using 15,000 gallons—would increase from $155.25 to $174.46 effective Jan. 1. The higher rates imposed on out-of-town customers (41 percent surcharge for water and 52 percent for sewer) would be retained and those customers could expect their bills to increase from $221.85 to $248.20 next year. The report looked at rates charged by 27 Virginia utility systems and calculated the average typical bill at $201.54 per quarter. Under the original proposal, commercial customers were to see a significant raise in rates next year and then gradual decreases after that. Councilwoman Kelly Burk suggested, rather than imposing such a dramatic impact on customers, to balance out the sewer rates for all customers over the five years. Ori explained that the change would force commercial rates to drop and low water users would see a slight increase in their rates. It would also result in decreased revenue stability because the system would be more dependent on high-use customers. At the end of the day we “still want to recover $21 million,” he said. While she agreed that drastic increases in a given year are not ideal, Umstattd said that some commercial users benefit from tax breaks that residential customers do not. “The question is whether residents of the town would understand why their bills would go up at all in order to subsidize the commercial sector.” To address that concern, the town staff spent much of Tuesday reworking the advertised rate schedule to allow the council flexibility to lower the increase for commercial users—a change that resulted in higher rates for residential customers. Under the new program, customers would still be billed based on the type of class, the size of the meter, and the amount of water consumed as indicated by individual meter readings. The difference, Director of Utilities Amy Wyks said, is how the rates are to be applied. According to Wyks the system is a more “simplified” approach and will help customers better estimate the cost of service based on their usage habits. Under the proposal, customers who live in single-family homes will be charged according to a four-tiered rate system for their indoor water use. Users will fall into one of the four tiers based on the amount of gallons they use per quarter: • Tier 1 = 0-6,000 gallons a quarter at a reduced rate targeting low indoor use; • Tier 2 = 6,001-15,000 gallons a quarter at the average cost targeting average indoor use; • Tier 3 = 15,001-30,000 gallons a quarter at

average cost plus moderate conservation incentive targeting higher indoor and discretionary outdoor use; and • Tier 4 = above 30,000 gallons targeting customers who use water above their reserved water capacity (i.e., the level of service implied when assigning treatment capacity and capital costs as part of the availability fee when connecting to the utility) including higher or excessive outdoor uses. For customers who have meters exclusively used for irrigation a two-tiered rate structure would apply. Tier 1 applies to irrigation customers who use 0-240,000 gallons a quarter and Tier 2 refers to any usage above 240,000 gallons. This new rate system eliminates the one-to-one ratio for single-family homes that imposes sewer charges based on the amount of water customers consume and eliminates billing based on winter quarter usage. Any water used above the quarterly allowance is assumed for outdoor irrigation and other water-specific purposes and not returned

The energy efficient home comes completely furnished and will be tailored to fit Porta’s individual needs. Every room will have fully accessible features, such as movable countertops and cabinetry that can be electronically operated by an iPad or smartphone. The house will be just under 3,000 square feet. Construction costs alone may reach the half a million range. John Hodge, vice president of operations for the Tunnel to Tower Foundation, said the builders go the extra mile to design the homes that do not look as if a disabled person lives there. Several people involved with the project participated in the groundbreaking ceremony, Leesburg Today/April Grant

which also was attended by State Sen. Dick Black (R-13) and Del. Dave LaRock (R-33). “On behalf of the state of Virginia, and as a member of the Marine Corps League myself, I’d like to thank [Ronny] for everything he’s done for us,” Black said. “This was his sacrifice and I’m really pleased that people can give back.” Actor and foundation founder Gary Sinise was not able to attend but sent a message for Porta that Hodge read aloud. “It is the Gary Sinise Foundation’s true privilege to help Ronny reclaim his independence and freedom, the very things that he fought to protect for us. I only wish I could be there today to thank you personally, Ronny. It is our hope that his home represents in some small way the sincere gratitude that we feel.” An elated Porta, who has undergone more than 100 surgeries, thanked the crowd and shared his story of struggling to adapt to life after the incident. “Before I met the Stephen Siller foundation I was having a lot of problems adjusting to people and decided to move here to be away from everyone,” he said. “But then I realized that this town is just so amazing.” He noted that having an automated house would allow him to do more things by himself. Porta and his wife Deicy named their son Kenneth Charles, in honor of his comrades, Msgt. Kenneth Mack and Cpl. Charles Palmer, who died in the attack that wounded him. Despite the hot conditions guests lined up to give Porta, who for health reasons moved to the comfort of an air conditioned van, their well wishes and to shake his hand. Tunnels to Towers was founded in honor of Stephen Siller, a member of the New York City Fire Department who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center. The Building for America’s Bravest program works to build new homes for severely injured service members all over the nation. Last week alone, five veterans including Porta received or broke ground on their new homes. The other organizations that have contributed to the effort are the Semper Fi Fund, Master Brand Cabinets Inc., Glidden Professional, Home Depot, Carpet One Floors and Home, W.C.

Middleburg Police Officer Stabbed to Death (in 1899)

the 115-year-old murder a few years ago from another cousin, Sonia Seaton Metelsky, who lives in Silver Spring, Md., and has been doing a genealogy study of her family’s history for many years. This past January, McCoy called Chief Panebianco, setting in motion next month’s Middleburg ceremony. Seaton’s name also soon will be added to the Commonwealth Public Safety Memorial in Richmond. “As a fireman,” McCoy said, “I think it’s important that police and firemen be recognized when they are killed in action. Now 115 years later, we’ll recognize him. I want to tell everyone about this story. He deserves it.”

hen then recently appointed Middleburg Chief of Police A.J. Panebianco first moved into his new office in April, 2012, up on a bookshelf he noticed a small rubbing of a name he did not recognize. Above that name encased in a plastic frame was a logo he was all too familiar with—the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington that honors policemen from around the country killed in the line of duty. Panebianco went immediately to his computer and looked up the name on the memorial’s database website. And there it was: Sergeant Henry Milton Seaton of the Middleburg Police Department was stabbed and mortally wounded in the village on Nov. 25, 1899, and honored with his name carved into the memorial’s wall in 2005. At the time, Seaton had been one of only two officers from Loudoun County who had ever been killed in action. Now, fast forward to this coming Aug. 5. On that Tuesday from 6 to 8 p.m. in the field behind the community center, the Middleburg Police Department will celebrate the 31st annual National Night Out. It’s an event held in towns and cities across the country designed to heighten crime awareness and prevention and strengthen police/community relations. That night, several members of Henry Milton Seaton’s family will be on hand for a short presentation starting at 6:30 p.m. honoring the slain officer. One of those family members, Mike McCoy, is a retired Fairfax County fireman who now lives in Purcellville and is a distant cousin of Seaton. He first heard about

Report: Purcellville Gaining Retail Market Share

here have been quite a few comings and goings on the zoning and planning front in western Loudoun. Lovettsville’s Zoning Administrator/ Planner Melissa Hynes will be leaving the town at the end of this week—but she won’t be going far. Hynes has been hired as the Town of Round Hill’s zoning administrator/planner, filling a job left vacant by Mickey Rhoades, who was retiring. “I’m excited,” Hynes said this week. The new job, besides being a little shorter commute and having more flexible hours that better suit her young family, offers new challenges, she said. “I’m sorry to see her go,” Town Manager Keith Markel said Monday, citing Hynes’ contributions toward economic development and tourism for the town. “She’s made tremendous contribu-

tions, including a lot of public outreach, which is her strong suit, and started a lot of new programs,” he said. Since her arrival in Lovettsville in November 2012, Hynes has worked on several major projects, including the formation of the We’re In business and tourism promotion committee, the Downtown Streetscape Plan and, lately, the Lovettsville Community Center renovation project and the redesign of the Town Center commercial component. That last project, which had lapsed for two years, is now in what Markel hopes will be final proffer negotiations before resubmitting to council. “The goal now is to find the right replacement to pick up where Melissa left off so the new programs and initiatives can continue… that’s the challenge,” Markel said. This week he plans to advertise through various local government and planning outlets. “It’s never good timing. We have a lot of big projects, and a lot of balls in the air,”

Markel said. Hynes’ last day with Lovettsville will be Friday, July 11. In the meantime, former Lovettsville Zoning Administrator/Planner Stephen McGregor has agreed to return on a temporary basis until the council appoints a permanent replacement. Thursday, the council was scheduled to formally vote to hire McGregor to fill that role. McGregor, who had retired, served as the town’s zoning and planning staffer in a consultant role from 2006-2012. He is familiar with most of the town’s major projects and served as lead staffer on the revisions to the Comprehensive Plan in 2011. Markel said McGregor has agreed to return for a minimum of two days a week, several hours a day and to attend all Planning Commission meetings as well as Town Council meetings when zoning and planning issues are before the council. Lovettsville is not the only western Loudoun town to have lost its top planning and zoning staffer.

Middleburg has just hired a replacement following Zoning Administrator/Planner David Beniamino’s departure to Richmond. Will Moore, city planner for the Town of Winchester, will start his new job with Middleburg July 21. Town Administrator Martha Semmes said Monday, “I’m very excited to have him.” A planner herself by profession, Semmes said Moore has wide experience in everything in small town planning: “He’s done it all.” Additionally, he has been the staff planner for Winchester’s Board of Architectural Review, a position he will take on also in Middleburg. The match works both ways. Semmes said Moore is excited to have small-town experience as eventually he hopes to move up to the town management level. Having now landed her new zoning administrator and planner, Semmes said she plans to pass on some names and contact information to Markel as Lovettsville begins its search. n

The band’s instrumentals feature keyboard, rhythm and bass guitar, saxophone, drum and truly classic rock vocals. Davis has worked with the Muddy Waters Legendary Blues Band, Elvis Presley’s Jordanaires, Chuck Berry and other rock and blues greats. Berry gave Davis a high compliment in calling him “a very, very fine musician. You really ought to hear him.” Admission is $5 per person, $4 for Bluemont Friends and seniors, $2 for kids under 12; proceeds go to support Bluemont’s yearround Artist-in-Education program in area schools. Concertgoers are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or a blanket, and a picnic to enjoy before the show. Pets and alcohol are not permitted.

The newly planted special butterfly garden at Great Country Farms is intended to reverse the decline of the Monarch population and to provide educational opportunities for the community. Visitors will learn about the butterfly’s migration across the country and how they can create Monarch way stations in their own gardens to help their fragile but beautiful winged visitors, by planting milkweed and nectar plants to provide food and habitat for the migrants and other pollinators. The weekend offerings also include tractor rides to the fields for summertime treats of juicy blackberries at their peak, with you-pick opportunities each morning beginning at 9 a.m. Blackberry pies and slushies are available at the Farm Market. And the Fit4Mom Ashburn group will host a free Butterfly Stroller Walk from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Sunday, July 20, to raise funds to support Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy and its mission to bring back the Monarchs.

• The Town Council will be asked Thursday to vote on appointing Planning Commissioner Tony Quintana to serve as the third member of the Lovettsville Board of Zoning Lovettsville Appeals. The panel needs a minimum of three members, and may have up to five. Currently, it only has two members, and the town is concerned that it should be at minimum strength should a BZA case be filed. The Zoning Ordinance permits a planning commissioner to be appointed to the BZA. Additionally, the council is scheduled to consider appointing a Town Council member to the East Broadway Streetscape Inspector Selection Committee. The town is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide inspection and construction management oversight for that project. The town will set up interviews with applicants and the committee is expected to make a selection by the end of August.

oudoun County will have a seat at the table as the state explores how to improve the way it measures school success. Terri Breeden, Loudoun’s newly appointed assistant superintendent of instruction, is one of 30 individuals appointed by Virginia Secretary of Education Anne Holton to the Standards of Learning Innovation Committee. Breeden oversaw testing for Fairfax County Public Schools as assistant superintendent for professional learning and accountability before she was hired to oversee instruction in Loudoun’s public school system. She began her new role in Loudoun July 1. The Standards of Learning Innovation Committee was formed as part of SOL reform legislation signed into law last month and is tasked with making recommendations to the Board of Education and the General Assembly on ways to improve SOL a s s e s s m e nt s , student growth measures and encourage innovative teaching in the classroom. The new Terri Breeden SOL reform law also promises 23 percent fewer exams for students in grades three through eight and an overhauled test system that moves away from multiple choice and toward questions that will better test students’ problem-solving and critical thinking skills. In a statement announcing the committee appointments last week, Holton said the committee members have a chance to shape the next generation of the state’s Standards of Learning. “The membership represents diverse perspectives from around the Commonwealth,” she stated. “I am confident that the Committee will develop both short-term and long-term recommendations to better align our education system with the needs of the 21st century economy.” Loudoun representatives Del. Tag Greason (R-32), who was the chief patron of the SOL reform legislation, and Del. Jim LeMunyon (R-67) also sit on the committee along with four other state legislators. The committee’s first meeting will be held July 15. View the full list of committee members at leesburgtoday.com/education. n

igh school education comes in many forms in Loudoun County. There are a handful of private schools, the 13, going on 14, public high schools, and of course the homeschool option. But there is a lesser-known option that is venturing into an uncharted educational concept— a high school that is 100 percent online. The George Washington University teamed with K12 Inc., a for-profit online education com-

pany based in Herndon, to launch an independent private school that allows students to log in from anywhere. The partnership clicked, Head of School Staci Kimmons said. And the result is one of only three online high schools in the country. The school started as a high school three years ago, and just this year added a middle school program. In that time enrollment has grown to 160 students. About 50 of those live in the Washington, DC, metro area and, Kimmons said, “the rest are literally around the world.” Every one of the classes

The new school—the first public charter school in Northern Virginia—still has space for a few third-through-fifth-grade students. On the other hand, it has a lengthy waiting list for its kindergarten through second grade classes, and is expected to open with a first-year enrollment of 122 students—more than double the number initially planned. Last month, the Loudoun

County School Board approved a funding advance, of sorts, so the charter school could hire an additional 3.5 full-time equivalent teachers to meet the demand. The charter application adopted by the School Board in March estimated the school would have just 60 students in its first year. The charter school, which is open to any Loudoun elementary student, operates under the umbrella of Loudoun County Public Schools and is funded through an approximately $11,700-per-pupil allotment from the school system, as well as grants and donations through a newly formed endowment. The increased enrollment will not cost the school system any more, according to Assistant Superintendent for Financial Services E. Leigh Burden, because

the students transferring to the charter school would need to receive services elsewhere if not at the new school. “We’ll take the money out of salary accounts, and then it will be paid back,” she told School Board members at its June 24 meeting. After some board members expressed concern that the charter school was requesting more than its approved budget, Burden said, “You have to take into consideration that this first year is challenging because you can’t know exactly what to expect. But in the future, once that enrolment levels out, it will just be tinkering around the edges a little bit.” The board approved the funding unanimously. With that advance in hand, the charter school’s board

of directors and Principal Barbara Smith are finishing hiring its team of teachers, which will include seven full-time teachers, three teacher assistants and six part-time specialty staff members, two of whom are from the Community Music School of the Piedmont in Upperville. Susana Calley, member of the board of directors, called the teachers amazing. “They are embracing the concept of projectbased learning and are already hard at work,” she added. Middleburg Community Charter School will operate on an extended year calendar. The school building will be open from 9 a.m. to noon weekdays for the rest of July.

ARTISTS SOUGHT FOR SCHOOL PROGRAM

L if e s t yle s

The Loudoun Arts Council is partnering with Loudoun County Public Schools to bring local working artists into art classrooms during the 2014-2015 school year. The arts council is seeking artists who want to reach a wider community and show students that art “is happening now and is continuously evolving” through 50- to 90-minute classroom visits, according to a

statement about the partnership. A recent survey of local art teachers showed they are open to visits from artists of any medium. Teachers are especially interested in hands-on demonstrations or interactive activities while the artist talks with students about their work. This is a volunteer opportunity, but all tools and supplies for classroom activities during the visit will be provided. The arts council wants to get an idea how many artists would be interested in participating in the program. Interested

Students are required to submit their transcript from their previous school, as well as an essay that illustrates why they can be successful at the online high school. Parents are also required to complete a questionnaire to indicate how involved they will be in their child’s education. Parent involvement is key with online learning, Kimmons said. “A lot of people have a misconception that they’ll sign their student up for online high school, set them in front of a computer and they’ll take it from there. But students need help with time management, so we want parents to be involved and have conversations about their student’s progress.” The George Washington University Online High School tuition is $12,000 for full-time high school students and $10,500 for full-time middle school students.

The 1990s signaled a major expansion period for Middleburg Bank.

n an industry where community banks are absorbed by larger national institutions with regularity, it is rare that one reaches a milestone such as Middleburg Bank is celebrating this month. Loudoun County’s oldest independent financial institution marked its 90th birthday July 1. To celebrate, the bank is holding client appreciation events at its offices this week. Through the end of the year, Middleburg Bank plans to celebrate individuals and partners who exemplify dedication and community service. The bank was founded by two masters of

the Middleburg Hunt—Daniel C. Sands and Charlotte H. Noland, along with other local leaders. Sands was a Wall Street financier, who loved nothing better than foxhunting around Middleburg, so he had a business practice in Middleburg. His partner in the venture was the redoubtable “Miss Charlotte,” founder and headmistress of Foxcroft School. Middleburg National Bank opened its doors July 1, 1924, at 1 E. Washington St., in a building that now houses The Home Store butcher shop, where it remained until 1958. It then moved a few blocks to 111 W. Washington St., next to the Middleburg Post Office. In the intervening years, the bank expanded to a full-service financial institution, Middleburg Financial Corporation, parent company to the

new branch offices. Although the bank had clients throughout Loudoun, the first branch did not open until 70 years after the bank’s founding, on East Main Street in Purcellville in 1994. That same year it formed the Independent Community Bankshares holding company. Two years later, in 1996, a Leesburg branch opened on Catoctin Circle. In 1997, Middleburg Investment Services opened and in October of that year ICB stock was publicly traded for the first time. The expansion continued. In 1998, the Mortgage Banking Division was launched and the following year a branch opened in Ashburn. In 2002, ICB acquired Gilkison Patterson Investment Advisors. In May, ICB became Middleburg Financial Corporation. The Leesburg operations center—housing human resources, credit services, administration, marketing and IT—opened adjacent to the Catoctin Circle branch in June. The following month, a second Leesburg office, Fort Evans, opened. The bank also operates a small walk-in kiosk on South King Street in downtown Leesburg. Marching onward, in 2003, MFC completed a 40 percent acquisition of Southern Trust Mortgage. By December, MFC’s assets exceeded $500 million. Spreading its influence eastward, the bank opened a Reston branch in 2004. In 2005, the Middleburg Investment Group was formed. Two years later, MFC opened a branch in Marshall. Next, the financial institution turned its eyes southward, opening a Williamsburg branch in 2010 and its first Richmond office in 2011, followed by a second in 2013. This year, the bank sold its membership interests in Southern Trust Mortgage, but continues to offer consumer mortgage loans through Middleburg Bank. Shook joined Middleburg Bank in 2005,

ne day after a scrubbed launch, Dulles-based Orbital Sciences Corporation’s Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 satellite was successfully carried to space from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California July 2. With liftoff just before 6 a.m., the OCO-2 entered a 429-mile orbit, completed activation procedures and deployed its solar arrays. Orbital Sciences designed, built and tested the carbon dioxide-measuring spacecraft at its satellite manufacturing facility in Gilbert, AZ, for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. NASA’s first satellite to make space-based measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide, OCO-2 is planned to launch aboard a Delta II rocket. The satellite will undergo several weeks of in-orbit testing. It then will maneuver into a 438-mile altitude, near-polar orbit with five other scientific satellites as part of the Afternoon (A-Train) Constellation. This international constellation of earth-observing satellites circles the globe once every 98 minutes in a sun-synchronous orbit that crosses the equator near 1:30 p.m. local time and repeats the same ground track every 16 days. Orbital will perform the day-to-day mission operations of OCO-2 from the company’s Mission Operations Center in Loudoun. It is the 151st spacecraft Orbital has completed for customers during the past 32 years. n

The Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 satellite is undergoing tests after a successful deployment last week.

opportunities—listening to their passion and talking face to face. Perfecting that blend is the name of the game,” Shook said. Management, particularly over the past 25 years, owes much to the efforts of its 225 staff members, also the support and direction of an active and engaged local board of community leaders who provide input, knowledge and advice, Shook said. Typically between 10 and 12 in number, the board is a blend of community advocates and business people. There is a corporate board of directors and three regional boards, covering Middleburg-Fauquier, Northern Virginia and Williamsburg. Currently, the bank has no plans for further acquisitions, but will focus on strengthening operations in its existing communities. Shook said the bank is watching growth and demographics in the Richmond, Williamsburg and Charlottesville areas and the bank also has a sizeable number of customers in Winchester and Frederick County. Shook said plans could change “if we came across a great banker in an area we’re interested in.” For more information about Middleburg Bank, go to www.middleburgbank.com or contact 703-777-6327. n

Business In Brief

Middleburg Investment Group manages $1.7 billion, while the bank itself has $1.2 billion in assets. “We settle estates through the trust company and manage people’s money,” Shook said, noting accounts range anywhere from $5,000 to a hundred million dollars. Looking ahead, Shook cited the bank’s venture into the IT world as a “real game changer,” including the use of mobile apps that allow customers to deposit checks from their smartphones. That innovation is part of the board’s determination to keep Middleburg Bank relevant for the future, he said. “There’s no technology that the big banks have that we don’t have.” Side by side with technological innovation comes the need to make sure the programs are secure. “People demand it (technology) so you have to have it, but you have to be constantly vigilant,” Shook said, noting that the bank’s security effort is one of its largest expenses, second to Human Resources. “It’s got to be absolutely safe,” Shook said. Exploring technological features is ongoing, Shook said.

after having worked at the Fauquier Bank since 1983. “I’ve been in financial services all my career,” with a focus on the money management side, Shook said. His first responsibilities at Middleburg were two-fold—to serve as the bank’s community executive for Fauquier County and to open a branch in Warrenton in 2006. Today, “we’re the largest of all the independent banks in Loudoun County—the last one standing,” Shook said. Middleburg Bank also is the largest Loudoun bank of all sizes based on its deposit base, he said, citing the FIDC’s annual report that gives a snapshot of every bank in the country. It is the only Loudoun headquartered community bank. “We’re controlled locally, not by some big behemoth in a far-off city,” Shook said. His marching orders from the board of directors are to “make the bank relevant for the next generation and for them to carry it forward.” To have the decision makers close by, and for them to know the neighborhood so they can look at various projects just by being close by is all-important, Shook said. “We take a lot of time to do that.”

Middleburg Bank’s focus on serving the community’s financial needs is reflected in its ratings. Last year, “we had the No. 1 share of the market in Purcellville, also in Leesburg,” Shook noted. That was the focus in 1924, when the bank opened to facilitate banking services right where customers needed them—not having to travel to far-off centers such as Leesburg or Warrenton when most residents still travelled with horse and buggy over rutted gravel roads. In 1924, People’s Bank (now Lightfoot Restaurant on King Street in Leesburg) was the big Loudoun bank, along with the National Bank of Loudoun. But Middleburg was also the center of big money, an area beginning to flourish with wealthy horseman and foxhunters from the north, drawn to the open country and beauty of the Virginia’s piedmont. The new bank quickly established its place in the market. The town, which straddles Loudoun and Fauquier counties, had turned the corner after the ravages of the Civil War, and was an active agricultural hub for the area, surrounded by large estates. Today the company continues to build on Boling’s legacy of branch building and expanding sources of revenue. Shook said money management is a growing operation—noting the

Aldie Senators’ right fielder Joe Giacchino—a junior at the UMass Lowell from Worcester, MA— makes a running catch on the warning track.

n a recent gorgeous summer night at John Champe High School’s baseball field, the Aldie Senators came to bat in the bottom of the eighth inning tied 2-2 with the Covington Lumberjacks in a Valley Baseball League game. To this point, the game had featured solid pitching and good defense, but very little offense. However, the end of the game epitomized the progress that the Senators have made over the past two weeks. Nine batters later, Aldie had put together four singles, two walks, a sacrifice fly, and a 7-2 lead. Aldie manager Eric Lemley talked after the game about perseverance lending itself to success. “We try to stress quality at-bats throughout the game regardless if they get a hit or drive in a run,” said the second-year manager, who coaches at University of Virginia-Wise during the school year. “From the first to the ninth, we want them to get quality at-bats. Over the course of a game, if you consistently have quality at-bats you’re eventually going to get that inning where you’re going to get a rally going. “This team’s going to be OK because they’re good kids, they work hard, and they get along well.

University). Malacane is hitting .280 at the halfway point; McMahon has hit .244 in limited time due to arm soreness; Mason has an ERA of 1.80; and despite one difficult outing that inflated his statistics earlier in the season, Salzano has only allowed two runs in his last two appearances. Lemley said he specifically wanted local players on the roster. In fact, he coached McMahon during the Greater Loudoun Babe Ruth U-13 World Series run in 2007. To have the opportunity to coach one of his former players again is a moment that Lemley cherishes. “It’s probably the coolest feeling in coaching,” he said. “I had a guy last summer—J.J. Sarty—who played for us who

was also on that 13-year-old team. I kind of sought those guys out. One of my first goals here was to get some Loudoun kids on this team. It’s good to have some local flavor on this team and its fun for me to see how much they’ve grown in their playing career.” The improved play has propelled the Senators right into the thick of the pennant race. With the second half of the season beginning, the Senators appear to be in contention. Malacane looks forward to the next home game July 13 and is eager to see what the second half brings. “Right now, everybody is clicking,” he said. “If we can keep playing like we have been lately, we should be able to make a run.” For more information about the Valley Baseball League and the Senator’s schedule of upcoming games, go to www.aldiesenators. com n

n this occasional series, Leesburg Today talks with Loudoun’s top chefs about their methods and passion for food. Sterling’s Mokomandy is known for its innovative menu and award-winning wine list. The brainchild of Thaddeus Kim and his parents Yoon Ki and Miranda (Mandy) Kim, Mokomandy’s menu is a reflection of Thaddeus Kim’s blended Korean and Cajun heritage. Executive Chef Daniel Stevens hails from a family of attorneys in Baltimore County. Stevens, 30, took a different path from his father and brother, attending the prestigious Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and was hired by the Kim family shortly after graduating to open the restaurant in 2010.

LEESBURG TODAY: TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE RESTAURANT.

O pi nio n

C la ssi fi ed

Daniel Stevens: I was hired to help generate the idea of producing, not fusion but kind of a duet, a dynamic menu between Korean and Cajun. I don’t know of any other place that’s doing it and certainly when it comes to restaurants that operate with more than one cuisine in mind, it more often than not becomes a mishmash. My belief is that with a lot of people’s cuisines, it’s pretty near and dear—it’s important. And if you take a purist stance on it, you have to be pretty respectful of tradition…We try to pay homage to the traditional format, but then we say, all right, postmodern cuisine, we have this esthetic philosophy behind how a dish works, aromatically, visually, and then flavor-wise, texturally…

LT: WHAT WOULD BE A TYPICAL MEAL THAT SOMEONE WHO COMES IN FOR THE FIRST TIME MIGHT ORDER?

DS: Effectively, what I’m going to do is ask you a few questions to figure out what it is that I think you would like…The small plates can be treated as an appetizer but at the same time you could have three or four small plates and that might be the perfect meal for you if you’re not trying to eat a huge amount of food…Medium plates are kind of more of a fine dining entrée size…The large plates are designed for family-style sharing…If you were to go to a Cajun household or a Korean household, it’s really going to be done kind of buffet style or everything’s in the middle of the table and you just kind of share…That kind of communal eating method is something that makes it a little bit more interactive…Family style eating is something that people enjoy—they get a lot of fun out of it.

LT: THE FAMILY STYLE TRADITION SOUNDS LIKE IT’S ONE AREA OF OVERLAP BETWEEN THE TWO CULTURES

Mokomandy’s young executive chef Daniel Stevens puts a fresh twist on Cajun and Korean cuisine.

AND THE TWO CUISINES. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE OTHER COMMONALITIES THAT MAKE THIS WORK SO WELL?

DS: In terms of functional ingredients, the way you get to a great tasting dish, a method that you’ll see in both, is very simple cooking. You might have oysters on the half shell, you might have simply lightly spiced boiled crawdads, a grilled scallop, a simple piece of grilled fish with sesame oil and sea salt. Both cuisines cook that way. The other way is to find ingredients that kind of develop deeper flavor—the Japanese call it umami—by trying to get more glutamic acid and glutamates out of your cooking methods. Cajuns work with chocolate roux and Koreans work with things like soy sauce and fermentation to develop these really deep, complex flavors… That being said, neither [cuisine] really shies away from the usage of chilies and garlic… Gochu, which is the pepper Koreans use for making gochu flake and gochu paste, that pepper is related to a cayenne chili…Just as the westernization of New Orleans and Cajun country would have been happening, those ingredients would have been hitting the shores of Korea through Portuguese sailors.

LT: TELL ME A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND.

DS: My grandfather’s hobby after he retired was in part cooking...Visiting him up in Cape Cod, we would cook a lot…So I started cooking relatively young. It wasn’t by any means a chore at any point in time, but when it came time to get a job, working in my dad’s law office, helping him with boxes and filing wasn’t as fun as working at Cheeburger Cheeburger or a barbecue shack. It was a little more entertaining, more colorful, more people to talk to…After going to Gettys-

burg College for a little bit, I decided to take a friend’s offer of a position in Nantucket at a yacht club for chef Bob McGowan and he effectively said if I was interested, he could give me a recommendation for the Culinary Institute of America. I thought: Gettysburg is pretty expensive and I see a lot of guys graduating and doing stuff they don’t want to do. I know what office work is like and I’m not all that interested in it. I’m not entirely sure my parents were all that pleased with my decision, but I decided to do it. But I didn’t really know what I was getting into. I didn’t fully recognize the prestige of going to the CIA… I also worked quite a bit… I did everything from high end catering, worked the line at small restaurants, both high end and kind of bistro. I lived in and operated a B&B for a number of years, which included a little farming, gathering eggs from chickens, splitting wood, baking bread, turndown service, ironing sheets, making detergent and soap. All that fun, fun stuff.

Leesburg Today/Jan Mercker

probably walk out the front door and leave for 48 hours and things would go pretty smooth.

LT: TELL ME A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT YOUR STAFF.

DS: My sous chef is Jon Stanziano. He’s a CIA grad…He’s a sushi guy by trade. He was previously at Hooked…Susan [Sung] was previously a paralegal. She went to University of Maryland for criminal justice…What she adds that most of us don’t is a ton of focus. She can accomplish anything. She’s very strong-willed and creative and very smart and very kind. Jon is a lot of fun. He’s a very chipper individual but he loves to work hard and he’s very capable of it and he gets really excited over simple things like properly cooked pasta or rice or tuna. I don’t know if I can overstate that concept…It’s contagious—we have a lot of contagious personalities here in general.

LT: TELL ME ABOUT THE FRONT OF LT: WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE FROM CIA? THE HOUSE. DS: I took periods off to go to Spain and to Germany and I lived in California for a little bit…I finished in 2010, effectively right before I got this job. I had been doing some independent consulting for the Kims on the concept, and after a debrief interview, a few days later they called me and asked me if I was interested in being their first hire and the executive chef, not just focusing on the menu but also focusing on the HR process, front of house, menu development, back of house…I still control the wine list, the cocktail menu, the beer list, do the dessert menu, train everyone on the line…If you find the right people…you walk them through the process and if you have the right personality and they’re a hardworking, kind individual, autonomy kind of ensues. [Kitchen manager] Susan [Sung] comes in and she doesn’t need to say a word to me until it’s time, and usually I have to bug her. I could

DS: Most of the people in the front of the house have managed restaurants or have managed retail establishments… Good social IQ is a must at Mokomandy in general. It’s a small team. Everyone kind of needs to be a jack-of-all-trades and want to be a master of all of them, too. You need to be interested in education…The quicker I can get the customer to kind of submit, calm down, have comfort in the fact that the server wants you to have a great time and we’re all working hard to produce great food and let us guide you a little bit once we know what it is that you like and don’t like. If people can get to that point, I think they have not only a unique dining opportunity with us. It’s potentially one of the best tailored for the area. No one is really trying to do that.

DS: Seasoning is really important. Thinking about when the appropriate time to season and potentially re-season...Trying to take notes on a recipe, what you liked and didn’t like, if you’re going to focus on recipes that’s one way to work. I do best in really visualizing the process that’s going on so if you see the diagram like “On Food and Cooking” Harold McGee’s book, trying to really imagine on a detailed and microscopic level what’s going on. It puts you in better touch with the whole cooking process. Thinking about the difference between functional ingredients and purely esthetic ingredients and sometimes ingredients that do both... Over-thinking your food is fun—it’s not necessarily a bad thing. n

DS: A trend would indicate that it’s happening time and time again. I think it is. I don’t think it’s meant to be trendy. I think it’s just a byproduct of what’s happened. You have this massive quick, fast growth and strip malls really are the solution to a number of issues like where do I buy my groceries, where do I take care of my dog, stuff like that...People want to have a nice place to eat that doesn’t freak them out in terms of how stuffy it is but gives them exciting food. It’s a little more relaxed and fun.

his suburb may not just be for the family anymore. Loudoun seems to be drawing more young people who find the county—once known for having more cows than people—a lively place to live and work. More live music, a surge of microbreweries and cool restaurants, the growing popularity of Loudoun’s winery scene and more mixed-use developments, not to mention more jobs, might be the ticket to keep those a decade or less out of college around, according to Grafton deButts, of the Loudoun Chamber, and other young professionals. “Is Loudoun County becoming the place that you would classify as a place that young people want to be? Absolutely,” said 32-year-old deButts, who grew up in Loudoun. “From a development standpoint you can physically see it.” The types of developments that typically draw a younger crowd—the mixed-use complexes with residence, shopping and offices in one—are popping up in Leesburg and the eastern end of the county.

A MUST READ

Authors’ book dissects jobs policies, seeks entrepreneurial renaissance BRIAN TROMPETER

he U.S. economy usually roars back full-bore after deep recessions by creating a slew of new jobs. But as local authors John Dearie and Courtney Geduldig discovered, the recovery from the most recent recession – the worst in 80 years – has been anemic at best. At the current jobcreation rate, U.S. employment will not equal its pre-recession levels until 2023, they said. The pair last year published a book, “Where the Jobs Are: Entrepreneurship and the Soul of the American Economy,” which zeroes in on problems stymieing job creation and suggests policy solutions to reverse the decline and unleash the country’s entrepreneurial potential. The book’s central thesis is surprising: Start-up companies have accounted for the creation of most new jobs during the last 30 years and been responsible for a

lopsided share of innovations. Ominously, the rate of creation of new companies has dropped sharply since the recent recession, they said. Start-ups have a high failure rate, so the authors looked for ways to help those companies survive their perilous first few years. “New businesses are different from existing businesses,” said Dearie, a Great Falls resident who is executive vice president for policy at the Financial Services Forum. “They’re exceedingly fragile. They’re like toddlers trying to find their feet. It’s a high-wire act. One misstep and they’re dead.” Geduldig, of McLean, and Dearie decided to escape from the wonkosphere in Washington, D.C., and talk with entrepreneurs at roundtables held all around the country. The authors picked locations that not only represented different geographical areas, but diverse economic focuses as well. Varied as the groups were, the authors

» Immigration policies are overly complex and force top-performing foreign students to leave the country instead of staying and using their talents to create more jobs in the United States. » Governmental regulations are complex, burdensome and ever-shifting, forcing entrepreneurs to expend valuable time and resources just trying to comply.

Courtney Geduldig of McLean and John Dearie of Great Falls recently authored "Where the Jobs Are," a book that suggests tax, immigration and regulatory reforms to jump-start the nation's economy and boost employment.

» Vital capital for start-up companies is hard to come by, as risk-averse banks prefer to lend to existing businesses with established track records and venture-capital firms invest in companies in more advanced stages of growth than most start-ups. » Taxes on start-up companies are onerous and often snuff the new firms before they can stabilize and grow exponentially.

» Political shenanigans in Washington, D.C., and other sources of uncertainty make business owners reluctant to invest in equipment, expand operations and hire more employees. The authors came up with more policy suggestions than can be listed here. Among the highlights: » The federal government should encourage students to take science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) classes and offer tax credits to those who graduate with college

makers a reason to read the book, quote from the book and relate to what’s going on,” said Geduldig, vice president of global regulatory affairs at Standard & Poor’s. Many of those quoted in the book are from Northern Virginia. The authors did this not only out of convenience, but also because the Washington area’s economy is noteworthy for the extent of its governmental contracting, Dearie said. Brett Coffee, general counsel at Springfield-based Computer Systems Center Inc. and a former chairman of the Fairfax County Small Business Commission, expounded in the book about the negative effects of over-regulation. Dearie and Geduldig made their book interesting both to laymen and policy wonks, Coffee said. If implemented, many of the authors’ suggestions would help create jobs and boost the overall economy, he said. “What most struck me after reading the book was how politicians of either party first look to a very government-centric approach to solving the problems,” Coffee said. “What’s very much needed is for American individualism to take center stage again. Everybody’s scared and hesitant to act.”

icromanagers are known for peering over employees’ shoulders, stifling their independence and meddling in the minutiae of their everyday work. And in a recent Accountemps survey, a majority of workers polled said they have firsthand experience with an overbearing boss. Fifty-nine percent of employees interviewed reported working for a micromanager at some point in their careers. The survey also found the constant scrutiny has a negative impact on most workers. Of those who felt they’d been micromanaged, 68 percent said it decreased their morale and 55 percent said it hurt their productivity. The survey was developed by Accountemps, the world's first and largest specialized staffing service for temporary accounting, finance and bookkeeping professionals, and conducted by an independent research firm.

responses from more than 450 employees 18 years of age and older who work in an office environment in the United States. Workers were asked, “Have you ever worked for a micromanager?” Their responses:

their intentions, taking a heavy-handed approach typically hurts employee output, job satisfaction and, as a result, retention efforts,” said Max Messmer, chairman of Accountemps and author of Motivating Employees For Dummies (John Wiley & Sons, Inc.). “Personally making sure every 't' is crossed might help avoid some mistakes, but the costs associated with failing to trust your team can have a longer-term impact.” Accountemps offers this six-step plan to help micromanagers learn to loosen the reins: » Recognize that you may be the problem. Does the word delegate make you wince? Do you feel you have to do it all and keep a controlling hand on everything at all times? You might be a micromanager. » Let it go. Start practicing restraint by dropping the red pen. You don't need to put your personal stamp on every single item that passes your desk. Making changes to an employee's work simply for the sake of making changes is a habit worth breaking. » Keep the check-ins in check. Constantly inquiring about routine assignments rarely helps employees get them done any faster or more efficiently. Provide clear directions upfront, check in once if need be and then trust your team members

William â&#x20AC;&#x153;Billâ&#x20AC;? Edward Riley

Bill Riley, 59, of Charles Town, loving son, brother, husband, father and grandfather, passed away Wednesday, June 25, 2014, at home, while surrounded by his wife, Susan, daughters, Lauren and Lesley, as well as his sister, Trish. Born April 20, 1955, in Leesburg, Virginia, he was the son of Helen Audrey Hough Cooper and husband Clifton Cooper, of Lovettsville, VA. Bill was known as an avid NASCAR enthusiast, music lover, photographer and handyman. He had a reputation as the go-to man for fixing everything from cars, to homes, to skinned knees. He had a love for the outdoors and could often be found walking with the love of his life and wife of 35 years, Susan, in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. He was one of the few men who would never complain about anything, be it a burnt dinner or long shopping trip. He was an exceptional father. He always helped his two daughters, Lauren and Lesley, with their math homework and later taught them how to use power tools and to change both a tire and the oil in a car. He often commented that he was so very proud of them and the women that they have become. He took extreme pride in his two grandchildren, Daylyn and Mason, for whom he made amazing Halloween costumes, built a swing-set and, every night that he was with them, read bedtime stories. He thoroughly enjoyed architecture and loved his travels to Italy, Germany, France, Great Britain and Switzerland and also within the U.S. His most recent trip to Asheville, North Carolina, ranked high among his favorites. Bill was quite the animal whisperer and you would frequently find an extra cat amongst the Riley household and cat food laid out on both the front porch and back deck for neighborhood strays. He loved his pup, Chloe, and would often rile her up to play and take her for walks along the Potomac River in Harpers Ferry and Shepherdstown. He sported his favorite red polo on most weekends and could sometimes be seen with his baseball cap on backwards, which everyone knew was just to tease his wife. He had quite a witty, sarcastic, and dry sense of humor and was always cracking jokes, most often under his breath. He was also known for regularly quoting a few certain movies.

Academy Support

uietly, Loudoun reached a major milestone last week when the Board of Supervisors agreed for the first time to ask voters to support construction of an advanced technology academy.

To this point, it has been a project too big and too amorphous for

supervisors to get their heads around. With its high price tag—now up to $114.6 million—the academy has been passed over for funding time and time again. But with land secured and a committed group of community advisors helping structure its programming, the concept is gaining momentum.

There is still more work to be done during the next five months.

It is important that the enthusiasm of Loudoun’s educators, supervisors and business leaders for the project not outpace that of the voters. With referenda results in recent years displaying a trend of greater weariness with the annual requests to support multi-million dollar school bond issues, approval of conventional school projects is no longer a sure thing. The addition of the academy to this year’s bond question adds to that uncertainty.

Will voters view the ATA as the next investment needed to ensure

that Loudoun students have access to a top tier education? Or will it be viewed as a perhaps desirable, but unessential project coming at a time when parents feel basic school needs are not being met adequately? Given the tenor of this spring’s budget debate, county supervisors may find themselves still lacking in the credibility department.

If developed in cooperation with the community’s business lead-

ers—including the rocket scientists, the bio-medical pioneers and the cyber warriors—and with shared investment by their companies, a strong case can be made for voters to support a partnership to develop a training center that offers unparalleled opportunities for students and a new pool of highly qualified workers for industry.

That is a story that should get the attention of the most jaded voter.

And it is one that will have to be told this fall if the academy is going to move from concept to construction.

Letters to the editor Rural Road Work

Dear Editor:

would like to add some information to Ms. Morton’s article from last week entitled “Rut Repairs: Supervisors, VDOT Report Progress on Rural Roads.” Thank you for covering an issue so relevant to the community. My office receives a variety of inquiries every day but none as consistently as concerns regarding rural roads. I want to provide additional details on the reduction in paving funding the county experienced this year. I was able to sit down with VDOT officials, county staff and my Loudoun colleagues in the General Assembly a little over a week ago to discuss a strategy moving forward to address resources for Loudoun County for unpaved roads and our maintenance budget. Overall, Loudoun saw a roughly $40 million

reduction in funds for paving unpaved roads—$19 million due to a decrease in actual revenue from the gas tax and another $21 million due to the qualifying threshold change from 200 car trips per day down to 50. One would think that lowering the threshold would increase the funding, but what actually happened was that the limited funding is now available to any unpaved road in the commonwealth with 50 car trips per day. While this reduction had serious implications for road improvement projects in VDOT’s Secondary Six-Year Plan, it did not affect general maintenance funding or funding for roads that are already paved. The reduction only affects roads, which were unpaved and slated to be paved as part of the Secondary Six-Year Plan. However, it should be noted that funding for the general maintenance budget still remains woefully inadequate for Loudoun County’s 330 miles of unpaved roads, the

Letters

Dear Editor: Having participated in both the Leesburg and Purcellville parades on Friday with VFW Post 1177 of Loudoun County, and enjoyed an awesome fireworks display in Leesburg that evening, I’d like to thank the swarms of public servants on the town and county staffs that made that possible. These folks worked tirelessly on a day we all take as a holiday. Consider, for example, Jeremy Payne’s day on Friday—he’s the special events coordinator for the Town of Leesburg’s Parks & Rec depart-

Dear Editor: Just want to thank the man in the sporty red convertible car exiting from Shoemaker School Road onto the north bound lane of Silcott Springs Road about 10 a.m. June 30. No thanks for trying, but thanks for not passing on the double yellow line—which is illegal not to mention the traffic coming towards us. The traffic in front of my vehicle contained about three cars, a van and a truck with horse trailer in the lead. That certainly must have been visible to the driver on his several attempts to pass. Riding my or any one else’s rear-end is also not a wise thing to do, especially if I had to suddenly stop because of traffic or a deer crossing the road in front of me. Mind you, if you want to cross double yellow lines, feel free to do so. However, putting my life or that of others in jeopardy is not smart and could be extremely costly to you or your estate. With cooperation from the law enforcement and VDOT, you might be able to convince them to close the road off, put some junk cars and trucks on both sides, and let you travel at a high rate of speed so that you can see how well you can maneuver that sports car. You might fare well, but remember the big trees. Alternatively, you can just follow the law and respect other drivers and their rights to the road. Robert Lorenz, Purcellville

Reservoir Permits Continued from Page 3

Currently there are 23 hunting permit holders, including town staff, six town volunteers and six Purcellville Police Department officers, and 13 fishing permit holders, including Lohr. The permits are issued each year, and holders must show their hunting license and re-sign the regulations.

“Only people that work for or serve the town” are allowed on the property, Lohr said, noting the land is not open to State Police or the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office. “They do a good job managing the wildlife,” Lohr said, noting hunting is permitted from September through late March. n

OPINION O pinio n

most of any county in Virginia. While the Commonwealth Transportation Board’s High Volume Unpaved Road Program Policy enacted this year is acknowledged and appreciated, the program only allows localities to submit applications to compete for supplemental funding up to $300,000 annually to apply hard surfaces on high-volume unpaved roads. It is imperative that the quality of Loudoun’s roads both paved and unpaved be increased. To that end, I have asked VDOT for a comparison of maintenence budgets among various districts. Supervisor Clarke and I have consistently encouraged VDOT to allocate greater maintenance resources for Loudoun and will continue to do so moving forward. I commend VDOT for their responsiveness and flexibility in responding to the recent reduction of funding for Loudoun County and look forward to their future commitment toward our rural roads. Thank you again for keeping the public informed on this issue. One last note, if anyone in the Catoctin District has concerns regarding the maintenance of a gravel road, please email my office at geary.higgins@loudoun.gov.

ment. His top-notch efforts started before sunrise to get ready for the Leesburg parade, then shifted gears to pull off a flawless fireworks celebration that was attend by thousands, and viewed by tens of thousands. Considering how hard Parks and Recreation Director Rich Williams, Deputy Kate Trask and their staff worked to make this week’s events a success, supported tirelessly by the Police Department, Streets Division, and others, I think we need to thank those folks who work behind the scenes to make this a great place to live.

accidents, including drownings, that occurred on the property. Loudoun Water shouldn’t be viewed as the “bad guy” for wanting to close access for a period of time and develop a new plan to upgrade the reservoir and keep it a safe and secure source of drinking water, Lohr said. He also said it is not the responsibility of the town’s water system customers to provide recreational opportunities for others. “What do you do when something happens,” he asked. “You’d have damage to our water system, contamination, and we’d have to buy water from others until the situation could be righted. You want me to have to tell people their water rates are going to go up, meantime?” Lohr said he had also suggested the group consider other town properties, including the Aberdeen property near the town’s water treatment plan, which is more than 200 acres. But Harrington said, although a nice property, “90 percent of it is pure field, with no tree lines, and offers little in terms of recreational value.” Whether the town would allow public access to the land was raised as an issue during the campaigns leading up to the May election, which saw Vice Mayor Keith Melton handily defeated by political newcomer Kwasi Fraser in the mayoral race. “Our impression was Mr. Fraser may be more open [to public access on the land] than Mr. Melton,” Harrison said this week. Lohr said he had talked with Harrington, who “made it clear the group fully understands my position and that of the [current] council, and they would abide by it.” While that may be the case, Harrington and his group still hope to find a different position once the new council settles in. n

Just one accident—say diesel fuel accidentally spilled into the watershed—could have a severe effect on the town’s water supply, Lohr said. Allowing recreational use on reservoirs was once a common practice throughout the country, Purcellville Director of Public Works Alex Vanegas said, but that changed following 9/11 when the Bioterrorism Act of 2002 recommended that water supplies be closed to the public. While the watershed and reservoir comprise 1,272 acres, Lohr said the reservoir itself is only a small piece, “like a finger, of between five and eight acres in a land mass that includes springs and three impoundments.” The town property is surrounded by private property including farms and a vineyard. The town has access to the reservoir watershed through easements granted by the property owners: there is no public road access. There are two entrance points where the gates are locked. The property’s boundary is posted with “no trespassing” signs. But Harrington said large water systems across the county use trail users as security agents. “The federal government has endorsed allowing recreational use of these type of activities,” he said. “We act as security, we are a part of the security endorsement,” he said. “We’re all working together to allow recreational facilities.” The town takes a different view. During its June 10 meeting, the council unanimously adopted a resolution stating there would be no trails established—either for horses, cyclists or walkers—on the property and no public access granted. But the matter is unlikely to rest there, as Harrington made it plain his group plans to present a new proposal from a number of asso-

from the Board of Supervisors to allow mountain biking on county park property and worked with the Loudoun County Parks, Recreation and Community Services and equestrian and other groups to open a multiuse trail near the county landfill in May. Now the group has its sights set on Purcellville’s reservoir property. Rob Harrington, Atlarge MTB LoCo board member, said the land is perfectly suited for outdoor multiuse trail recreation and could serve as a revenue source for the town while providing area residents more green space for outdoor activities. Additionally, the watershed could be used by area schools for educational purposes, he said. The town has placed the property under easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation to permanently protect the reservoir from encroaching development, but that easement doesn’t prohibit recreational uses such as trails. But the easement is not as much of a concern to Town Manager Robert W. Lohr Jr.; security is, because it is the town’s drinking water source.

ciated organizations, including the equestrian U.S. Trail Ride, trail runners and hikers, and the Potomac Heritage Trail Association, of which he is a board member, to the incoming council, which will hold its first meeting July 22 with a new mayor and three new members. “This is much larger than MTB LoCo,” which he founded five years ago, Harrington said, noting a larger group, Loudoun County Trails Alliance, stemmed from a business plan developed by the Rural Economic Development Council and approved by the Board of Supervisors. “This has a lot more support than a couple of mountain bikers looking for trails. I want these opportunities for my kids and for all county children,” Harrington said. And from the town’s point of view, Lohr said, it’s not that the town wouldn’t consider some kind of restricted public access in the future, but he is concerned that even opening the land to the most well-intentioned organizations could have significant unintended consequences. Public use of Beaverdam Reservoir in Ashburn was unregulated under years of City of Fairfax ownership, Lohr noted, citing various

It’s a terribly sad story, and still has a few gaps that have never quite been fully filled in. Seaton, who is buried in Middleburg’s Sharon Cemetery, was 28 at the time of his death. His tombstone also lists the name of Charlotte Seaton, his sister, just below his name. There is no record as to whether he was married or had any children. On Saturday, Nov. 25, 1899, at about 11 p.m., Sgt. Seaton responded and was told his services were needed at the Adams Store at the intersection of Madison and Washington streets. Apparently, he came upon Richard Thompson, a local resident, who was arrested shortly thereafter for being drunk and disorderly. According to several news accounts at the time, Thompson was released from jail a few hours later at the request of a town councilman who told him to report to a hearing before the mayor the following Monday. Richard Thompson went home that night and told his brother Harrison about his arrest, and the two of them went back into town and confronted Seaton. Harrison Thompson then took out a two-sided knife known as a dirk, stabbed Seaton in the stomach and both brothers fled the scene. According to a 2005 story in the Fairfax Journal, Seaton was taken to a local hospital and died on Dec. 2, 1899. One Washington newspaper described it as “the most fiendish and brutal murder ever committed in (Loudoun) county.” A massive manhunt ensued to find the two brothers, with the town of Middleburg putting up a $125 reward, the state of Virginia $100 and the Loudoun Board of Supervisors $175. On Jan. 7, 1900, Richard Thompson was arrested in Washington, D.C. and in May of that year, was convicted of murder and sentenced to 18 years in prison. Three years later, for still unknown reasons, he was pardoned by Gov. Andrew Montague. Harrison Thompson spent many years on the run, but was finally arrested in June, 1908, in the town of Carroll, Ohio, and Loudoun Sheriff Thomas Henderson was dispatched there to interview him. According to the Fairfax Journal, “what happened after that remains a mystery… John Fishback (now retired), who handles historic documents for the Loudoun Clerk of the Court, checked records for four years after Harrison Thompson’s arrest, but found nothing about the suspect’s fate.” Mike McCoy supplied Middleburg Life with another far more colorful description of his distant relative’s murder. It was contained in a letter written on Nov. 27, 1899—two days after the stabbing—by John Bodmer, a resident of Aldie, to Ella Lee Goode, who he was courting at the time. It was reprinted in a book “Letters to Ella Lee Goode” compiled by author Meridee Orndoff Mucciarone in 2003. “Now I want to tell you something awful that happened in Middleburg last Saturday night,” Bodmer wrote to the woman he would eventually marry. “There was a big crowd about town and some were drinking and they got very noisy. So the police arrested one of them that was making the most noise and using bad language but he promised to behave himself and they let him go. But he went home and told his brother about it and so he came up to where the policeman was standing on Mr. Adams’ porch and without saying anything he had a large knife or razor in his hand and cut the policeman awful bad, so bad that the doctor didn’t think he will live. And the worst of it is the man got away and they haven’t caught him yet. But I guess they will get him. “I expect that you know the man that was the policeman. His home is at North Fork but he has been living in Middleburg two or three years. He is Mr. Sam Seaton’s son. I think his name is Milton. I never knew him very well, but he was very well thought of by everybody at Middleburg. It will be hard on his people if he should die for his mother just died a short while ago.” Meanwhile, Chief Panebianco said that once he realized there were Seaton family members still alive and living in the area, “we immediately said we’d like to get on board and honor him. “It happened a long time ago,” he said, “but someone made the ultimate sacrifice and it’s our duty, and a true honor, to recognize what he did. We’re very excited to be able to show this man’s family that we still care.” n
