School System Deficit Will Likely Hit Employees’ Pocketbooks

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

fter the Loudoun County School Board has worked to send its 10,000 employees home with more money—making raises a priority for much of its term— an $11 million shortfall in the school system’s health care fund may reverse much of that effort. The deficit will likely mean another hike in premiums for employees, and it may set up a fiscal tug-of-war between the School Board and Board of Supervisors months before budget season. The School Board learned at its meeting last Tuesday that, despite enacting greater premium increases than health care provider Cigna recommended, the health care fund still ran a deficit of $8 million in FY13 and $3 million so far for FY14. The full deficit for FY14 is not yet known because the health care schedule follows the calendar year instead of fiscal year. The shortfall is likely an anomaly and probably attributable to employees using their health care plans more, according to E. Leigh Burden, assistant superintendent of Financial Services. “With 10,000 employees, even a small shift in how people use their health care can result in huge fluctuations,” she said. She presented several suggestions to the board to not only make up the deficit but to make sure it doesn’t happen again, including increasing health care premiums by 15 percent over the next 15 months and requesting a one-time transfer of $6.3 million from the county’s FY14 fund balance. With that, Burden noted that in FY10 the county’s financial staff was directed to take $12.5 million from the school system’s health care fund to address a county revenue shortfall that was forecasted but did not materialize. “So we would hope the county might assist us with this.” That was the line that caught School Board members’ attention, and redirected the conversation

arly last week, the Loudoun County government issued a press release announcing that local emergency crews and the medical community were prepared, should the Ebola virus make its way into the county. Two days later, that level of preparedness was put to the test. The nation-wide fear of infection by the virus hit Loudoun last Thursday when the county announced that a Loudoun County Adult Detention Center inmate had been isolated at Inova Loudoun Hospital to be monitored for Ebola. She arrived at Dulles Airport Oct. 13 after having traveled to the West African region hit hardest by the virus, and had come down with a low-grade fever. The inmate was monitored for 24 hours to make sure the fever did not go into the suspicious range. Fortunately, her symptoms subsided and the Loudoun County Health Department, together with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, ruled out Ebola and later discharged her. But the incident brought home the possibility that Loudoun, even Inova Loudoun Hospital more so than most communities From left, Medical Director of Emergency Medicine Dr. Edward Puccio and across the country, as the home of registered nurse Kim Klein are helped into protective gear by Infection Dulles Airport—one of just five U.S. Preventionist Nailah Davis last Thursday just before a patient was delivered airports designated by the federal to Inova Loudoun Hospital for Ebola screening. government to receive all travelers

coming from West African countries wrestling with the epidemic—could be impacted by Ebola. Customs and Border Patrol agents identified the woman at the airport Monday as a person wanted for a crime in Maryland so the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office transported her to the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center, on Sycolin Road in Leesburg, to be housed until she could be extradited to Maryland. The woman’s health was screened by the CBP agents at the airport, but she did not show symptoms at the time. However, “because she came from a high-risk area for Ebola she was isolated and monitored at the ADC,” Sheriff Mike Chapman told the media during a press conference last Thursday. When the woman came down with a fever that morning she was transported from the detention center to the hospital using an “abundance of caution,” according to Fire-Rescue Chief W. Keith Brower. The transport team included a medic unit, Hazmat support unit, the battalion chief, law enforcement and health department personnel. “This is the very first case, so we wanted to make sure we were taking all the proper precautions,” Brower said. “There were a lot of people involved in this, and it was a very good showing of all of us working together to try to make the best of a

Brown and his wife, Uta Brown, had strongly opposed the road, which opened June 2013 and now carries 4,000 vehicles per day. The SCR has been listed as a key improvement needed to bypass the downtown area to the south on both town and county planning documents for years: on the town’s Comprehensive Plan since 1978 and on the county’s General Plan since 1991. It was again listed in 1995, on the Purcellville Urban Growth Area Management Plan, and the 1995 County-wide Transportation Plan.

The settlement agreement is contingent on the town’s rezoning Brown’s land from Transitional X to Agricultural-Commercial. That zoning was created by a previous council specifically for Crooked Run Orchard and allows limited commercial uses. Brown’s lawsuit was scheduled to be heard in Loudoun County Circuit Court next month. Voting in favor of the settlement were Mayor Kwasi Fraser, Vice Mayor John Nave, Councilwoman Karen Jimmerson and Councilmen Ben Packard and Doug McCollum. Voting against were Councilwoman Joan Lehr and Councilman Patrick McConville. Each council member made a full statement explaining his or her vote on the issue, which has bedeviled successive councils for more than a decade. [You can hear their recorded comments at the Agendas and Minutes section of the town’s website at www.purvellvilleva.gov.] After the town’s vote to condemn the property in January 2011, Brown filed a challenge and the court enjoined the town from taking action. In April 2011 the court sustained the

Committee Chairman Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) and Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) voted against it. Reid said he could support lower raises if they were offset by cuts to supervisors’ office budgets. Buona opposed any increases. Williams said raises for the next board is the “fair and reasonable thing to do” given the increasing workload experienced since 2008.

n July, the Board of Supervisors’ finance committee questioned whether the next board should be paid more. So far there are three members who say the answer is yes. The panel took up the issue again last week and voted, 3-2, to recommend a $10,000 increase for district supervisors and a $20,000 boost for the county chairman, who is elected countywide. If approved by the full board, the county chairman would be paid $70,000, the vice chairman $55,320 and district supervisors $51,200. It would be the first raise since 2008 and would put Loudoun’s board compensation second in Virginia only to Fairfax County. State law prohibits a board of supervisors from raising its compensation during its term, so if no action is taken the current pay rates will remain in place until at least 2020.

A suspect with a long list of prior criminal violations faces a 4-year prison sentence after being found passed out in a stolen car in a Leesburg hotel parking lot. A Loudoun County jury last week found David Anthony Frye, 28, guilty of possession of a schedule I or II controlled substance. The case began Feb. 23 when Leesburg Police officers found Frye, who was wanted on outstanding arrest warrants, sitting in the passenger seat of a vehicle in the Days Inn parking lot. Frye was unresponsive to the officers’ requests for him to exit his vehicle, which had been reported as stolen, and they broke a window to

Sterling woman arrested earlier this year for prostitution now faces additional charges of taking indecent liberties with a child on numerous occasions. Natalita N. Davis, 43, was charged last week with five felony counts of taking indecent liberties with children in her custody. The arrest stems from an investigation into suspicious activity at her North Cottage Road home. In May, the sheriff’s office became aware of possible prostitution activity taking place at the home and an investigation was conducted by the agency’s Community Resource Unit and the Tactical E n forc e m e nt Unit. In July, Davis was charged with pro st itut i on , two counts of Natalita N. Davis contributing to the delinquency of a minor and maintaining a bawdy place. She was found guilty of prostitution and fined $500. The continuing investigation by the sheriff’s office Sex Crimes Unit resulted in additional charges involving crimes against children. The investigation into Davis’ activities continues and detectives are looking for individuals who may have visited the residence within the past two years and witnessed potential crimes against children. These individuals visiting the residence are believed to have been guests or paying for services offered by Davis. Those with information should contact Detective P. Beaver at 703-777-0475. Davis was held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center.

After the jury found him guilty of the possession charge, Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Joshua P. Steward presented evidence of Frye’s extensive criminal history, which includes prior drug convictions as well as charges of discharging a firearm within city limits and trespassing. Frye also faces sentencing on probation violations and a hearing on that issue Monday was delayed until January, when Circuit Court Judge J. Howe Brown will finalize sentencing on the new drug conviction. Frye remains in jail.

Despite the continued objections of nearby residents, the Loudoun Board of Supervisors last week endorsed plans for the Northern Virginia Electric Cooperative to develop a service center at its Evergreen Mills Road substation. The Planning Commission approved a commission permit to allow construction of an office/warehouse, storage bays, a fueling facility, a vehicle maintenance shop and outdoor storage area on a 13-acre portion of the 67-acre property. The property is zoned for industrial uses and the development is permitted by right; however, the county reviews utility projects to affirm they comply with the county’s Comprehensive Plan. Wednesday, the board voted 8-1, with Supervisor Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run) opposed, to ratify the commission permit for the project. Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) has been working with representatives of NOVEC and Dominion Power, which is developing plans to expand the substation as part of a separate application, to address residents’ concerns. The design for NOVEC’s office building and promises of more extensive buffering and landscaping should result in a project that fits better with the neighborhood, she said. Williams voted against ratifying the commission permit, suggesting the board take more time to work with NOVEC and ensure the promised upgrades to the project’s design are locked in as requirements. However, Clarke and other supervisors were confident in the utility’s commitment to follow through. “These folks are

he Loudoun Board of Supervisors last week formally authorized a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for anti-Hindu graffiti in the Brambleton area. Overall, the reward offered in the cases now totals $25,000. Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) announced before the vote that the Brambleton HOA had increased its reward from $1,000 to $5,000. During an Oct. 3 community meeting to brief residents on the investigation, several leaders of the Indian-American community also pledged reward funds. Under state law, the county government can only pay a reward when information results in a criminal conviction. Also, the board authorized Sheriff Mike Chapman to administer the reward in an effort to shield any anonymous tipsters from having to be identified in public records. Since July, 17 cases of anti-Hindu graffiti—such as “No Hindus”—have been reported on signs and other structures in the Brambleton area. Chapman reported that since the Oct. 3 community meeting and the announcement of rewards to catch the perpetrators there have been no additional instances of graffiti reported. During its Oct. 1 meeting, the board adopted a resolution strongly condemning the graffiti. Several supervisors stated the Loudoun community is welcoming of all cultures and that racism and hate crimes would not be tolerated. According to research by the county staff, this is the first such reward ever authorized by a Board of Supervisors.

An application to build Loudoun’s first Wawa store on Old Ox Road near Sterling is headed back to another Board of Supervisors public hearing. Supervisors were set to vote on the project Oct. 15, but instead agreed to re-advertise the application to make clear the development involved a convenience store with gas pumps. The application previously was identified as an automobile service station, but opponents of the project said that description was misleading to the public. The project appears to have support from a majority of supervisors, but critics—led by the Foster family which operates two Exxon stations

in the area—say the store’s economic benefits are being overestimated and its traffic impacts being overlooked. The Fosters commissioned an economic impact analysis they say shows the board would be forgoing future tax revenue by approving the convenience center instead of other office and industrial uses envisioned for the corridor in county planning policies. Also, Ray Foster said that traffic on the road connecting Rt. 28 and Herndon already is a big problem, as is roadside parking in the area, and that no additional development should be approved until a detailed traffic study is complete. Also during last week’s meeting, Supervisor Shawn Williams (R-Broad Run), who requested the new public hearing on Wawa’s plans, won approval for the county to conduct a traffic study for the Oak Grove Road in the area.

great corporate citizens in my opinion,” Clarke said. During a public hearing earlier this month and again Wednesday night residents spoke passionately about their concerns over reduced property values, noise, lights and the health impacts of living close to electromagnetic fields. The NOVEC property was zoned for industrial use before homes were built on adjacent properties and several supervisors expressed frustration about the conflict between residential and industrial uses—a reoccurring theme in some board members’ districts. Supervisor Matt Letourneau (R-Dulles) said homebuyers need to be better informed—either by developers and real estate agents or through their own research—about development plans in their neighborhoods. Supervisors also said that building a service center at the site would improve response to the company’s customers in the area. “Nobody on this Board of Supervisors is in the business to make our constituents upset,” Letourneau said. “I think ultimately this site will end up better with this particular NOVEC project.”

orthern Virginia is playing host to the 2015 World Police & Fire Games, and Loudoun County will play a big part. The games, with 61 Olympic-style competitions held June 26-July 5, are expected to draw more than 12,000 public safety athletes from around the world to Northern Virginia. To put that number in perspective, 10,568 athletes participated in the London Summer Olympics in 2012, the largest Olympics to date. Seven of the competition venues will be in Loudoun County. Outdoor soccer competitions will take place at Morven Park just outside of Leesburg and indoor soccer competitions

will take place at the Dulles SportsPlex. Other venues in the county include Pev’s Paintball in Aldie; Ashburn Ice House; the Golf Club at Lansdowne; Northern Virginia Badminton Club and Bowl America, both in Sterling; and Mt. Weather, where a competitive cycling hill climb will take place. “This is a big opportunity for Loudoun,” Bill Knight, president and CEO of the games, said. He anticipates the games will pump between $60 million and $80 million into the Northern Virginia economy even before opening ceremonies. “That’s just what we’re estimating for the preliminary economic impact,” he said.

town’s grounds for the taking and allowed it to move forward with condemnation. The town lodged a Certificate of Taking and a check for $432,024 with the Loudoun Circuit Court the next day. Previously, the town had offered to take only 2.24 acres for the road on a different alignment. When Brown rejected that offer, the council returned to the original alignment, incurring further design costs, as noted by McConville. The farm was in part owned by Sam Brown and his brother Tim Brown. In June 2011, Sam and Uta Brown purchased his brother’s 95.8 percent ownership of the rear 45 acres and the front 16 acres, that includes the section where the condemnation occurred. The value of the land had to be related to that prevailing at the time of taking. Brown’s highest independent assessment for the land was over $4 million, according to the town, while the town’s offer was increased from the initial

$432,024 to more than $650,000—which again was refused by Brown. The current council, which took office July 1, inherited those problems, with only three members—Nave, Lehr and McConville— remaining from the previous council. The biggest concern for a number of council members appeared to be the fear that the jury would assign a higher value to the property, although it is supposed to be related to the value of the land at the time of condemnation, as well as the cost of the trial and potential appeals and the potential liability for town to assume some of Brown’s legal costs, including his expert witnesses. A higher cost could require the town to dip into its reserves, impact its credit ratings or force it to acquire more debt, some council members feared. Councilman and Planning Commission Chairman McCollum said this week, “as a lawyer, I’ve seen how these settlements can go, and that the risk of losing was too great.” Continued on Next Page

town and Brown will plant more trees along the road and Brown will erect a wire mesh fence to protect his apple orchard on the west side of the road. He also will have permission to cross the town’s property and the trail to access his other land, across the culvert built for him by the town. During the same meeting, the council formally initiated the rezoning process to convert the property to A-C zoning. Once the council approves the rezoning, the town will file a dismissal order to the Loudoun County Circuit Court. The settlement money will not be transferred until all steps have been completed. The settlement amount has stirred some reaction in the community, notably from two past council members. Former Mayor Bob Lazaro, who led the town’s legal fight during the years of litigation with the county and the Browns, said he would have no public comment on the matter. But former Councilman Jim “Doc” Wiley had no such inhibitions. He said he is not so much against the idea of settlement—although “I don’t like it”—as much as he opposes the amount. “There is no basis for that sort of settlement,” Wiley said, calling it “unprecedented” and a “rip-off.” Councilman Tom Priscilla, who also was on the past several councils, but who did not seek re-election in May, said he thought the issue was not whether the settlement was good or bad, but whether the amount was justified. Noting that Brown’s position on the value of the land had significant differences with the town’s assessment—“10 times the town’s appraisal,” Priscilla said it appeared that Brown’s high assessment was based on a development plan for 10 acres of commercial use. He also understood the town attorneys considered that position unrealistic. He also questioned the wisdom of dipping into the town reserves. “So the cushion you’d be setting aside in the regular order of business is gone. Where will the money come from, what now won’t you do? What won’t be available for whatever purpose you might have planned for it,” he asked rhetorically of the council. n

News L oLoudoun udo un Ne ws

Councilwoman Joan Lehr said she understood her colleagues’ concerns. “But the dollar amount was excessive,” she said of the cash settlement, noting the town’s last offer was based on what Sam Brown had paid his brother per acre for his land and a percentage of the acres taken by the town. She also noted that with the council-initiated rezoning application, the town would lose the application fees, and there would be no proffers. McCollum tied to dispel one misunderstanding that seems to have circulated in town regarding the rezoning process. As a towninitiated rezoning, there still will be a public process—that is required by law, he said. The Planning Commission will have at least one public hearing, at which everyone’s comments are welcome, he said. After the commissioners have made their recommendations to the council, the council will then hold its public hearing before taking final decision. The sum agreed to by the town and referred to in the Oct. 8 Settlement Agreement signed by Brown, was in two parts: $257,820 for the taking and $742,180 for damages. Town Manager Robert W. Lohr Jr. confirmed the payment would come from the town’s General Fund revenues, but most of it is already set aside from a combination of money pots. In addition to the $432,024 already in escrow, the town will add $230,000 from leftover SCR project funds, and about $338,000 re-budgeted from other projects where cash is available from the county settlement over Woodgrove High School. If needed, Lohr said, the town would pull from General Fund reserves. The town had a surplus in the General Fund June 30 and added to its reserves. “If we had to take [some] out, there would be no net decrease,” Lohr said. The Oct. 8 agreement also includes several other improvements requested by Brown—a marked crossing in the place where he accesses the 45-acre parcel of his land and an entrance to the west side of the road into his property between his house and the creek—that must be approved by the town and by VDOT.

only part-time positions and are surprised by the compensation level. He also noted supervisors give up other career opportunities and family time to devote hours to their board duties. “The amount of work that goes on that nobody sees is really astonishing, particularly for the chairman; it’s absolutely a full-time job.” Buona said Loudoun supervisors already are among the most highly compensated board members in the commonwealth and that adding $10,000 wouldn’t make a difference in the caliber of candidates seeking supervisor seats. “I think this county has way too many other needs,” he said. He agreed that supervisors are not doing part-time work. “Many of us put in 40 to 50 hours a week into this job,” Buona said. However, he worries about elected officials approving raises for themselves. “I get mad every

time Congress gives themselves a raise. I really do,” he said. “I keep thinking, what a bunch of hypocrites.” Among current supervisors, all except Supervisor Janet Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) are expected to seek re-election in 2015. Clarke announced last month she would not seek a second term. According to a 2014 board salary survey presented to the committee in July, Loudoun has the third-highest population in Virginia and its supervisors have the fifth highest salary. Fairfax County leads in both categories with 1.1 million residents and supervisors—the chairman included—making $75,000 per year. Arlington County, with 120,000 fewer residents than Loudoun, pays its supervisors $50,127, with $55,140 for the board chairman. Chesterfield County, the closest to Loudoun in population, pays supervisors $35,091 and the chairman $38,241. The full board will take up the recommendation at its Nov. 5 meeting. n

include non-endemic countries such as Kenya, Egypt or Morocco or some impacted countries, including The Congo, Senegal and Nigeria, Puccio said. “There’s a heightened awareness,” Puccio said of the need to constantly modify processes to protect staff and patients alike. “We have maps throughout the treatment areas, so we can quickly find out if a patient has been in an impacted area.” When a patient suspected of carrying an infectious disease arrives, he or she is placed in isolation and treated through a protected approach, that includes an ante room and an adjacent cold room—where the physicians, nurses and technicians don protective gear before going into the ante room, then to the patient’s room. “They come out the same way,” Puccio said, explaining the protective gear is taken off in the ante room and placed in a hazardous material bag, before the medical personnel step into the cold room. “All of our staff is trained for Personal Protective Equipment,” Puccio said. But he noted there are differences for taking care of Ebola patients, and the hospital is well into the process of updating all staff members on how the protective gear has to be handled for Ebola patients. “Everyone who has to interact [with a patient] has the most updated and extensive information. We are compliant [with CDC requirements] as to how we manage the patient, protect staff, manage waste—there are multiple management issues, including blood specimens in the lab,” Puccio said. While Ebola was ruled out as a possibility for the inmate taken to Loudoun Hospital last week, she was not tested for the virus: that decision is the responsibility of the Loudoun County Health Department. After consultation with the CDC last Thursday evening the decision was made not to test the patient, according to Health Department Director Dr. David Continued on Page 16

who took care of a sick patient; anyone who attended funerals in an endemic area; or shows symptoms of a fever (most important), vomiting, diarrhea, bleeding and head or body aches, according to Puccio. If a patient does meet the criteria for Ebola testing, it would be conducted through the state, Puccio said. The hospital can draw blood from the patient, which is placed in special containment apparatus to prevent leakage or breakage, inventoried, hand transported and sent to the state lab. Inova is developing a policy that “once we are given the green light for testing, those patients would go to the Ebola treatment unit at Inova Fairfax Hospital,” Puccio said. Until any

transfer is made, the patient is kept in isolation. Those treating the patients wear protective gear and then go through the entire decontamination process. The hospital recommends monitoring every person from areas impacted by Ebola, even if showing no symptoms, for early treatment if that becomes necessary. Should a patient first go to their doctor’s office, or an urgent care center, the hospital has established a process it has circulated to all medical staff and area physicians. If there is a suspected patient, the doctor’s office is required to place a mask on the individual and call the hospital charge nurse number ahead of transfer, so “we can meet the patient outside [the hospital] and escort directly to the isolation room so there’s no wandering around or being in a public space or the ED,” Puccio said. Allaying worried patients’ or the public’s fears have become standard in the past several weeks, Puccio said. Ebola is transmitted by “direct exposure to bodily fluid, not by being in the same room,” Puccio explained. However, “If someone coughs at you and some of the saliva lands in the eye or mouth,” the virus could be transmitted. Mostly it is transmitted by blood, vomit and diarrhea, according to Puccio. Puccio has under his command 20 physicians and around 100 nurses working at Inova’s Lansdowne and Leesburg operations, and has worked on reducing the vulnerability of nurses. Two nurses who treated Thomas Duncan—the man who flew from Liberia to Dulles Airport before traveling to Dallas, TX, and later died at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital—are now being treated for Ebola. The monitoring process involves two people: one monitors the other when doing what is the most risky part—taking off the protective gear,” Puccio said. “One of the monitors reads the instructions, ‘do this, do that, and they don’t move until it’s done and the other monitor approves. Any break is addressed with additional procedures.” Individuals suspected of having contracted the virus after exposure are quarantined for 21 days. “That’s the time period that has to elapse from the last exposure. If you’re not exhibiting any symptoms after that, you’re clear,” Puccio said. Goodfriend commended the medical community and local law enforcement for their work in response to last week’s possible threat of Ebola. While he said the fever of the woman placed in isolation at Inova Loudoun Hospital was lower than that of individuals typically experiencing Ebola, “nevertheless we felt an abundance of caution would be a very good thing.” “It’s always better to err on the side of caution for the safety of the individual and for reassurance of the community,” he added. “It also was a good test of our system.” n

Loudoun County High School celebrates its 60th anniversary Friday, with special events beginning at 5 p.m. at the school. LCHS opened as the county’s first consolidated high school in 1954.

Schools See Larger-Than-Expected Enrollment Boost Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

oudoun County has 382 more elementary students in its public schools this year than initially projected, and 180 of those are just at one school. The school system’s annual enrollment report, presented during last week’s School Board meeting, showed that on Tuesday, Sept. 30—“count day” in most Virginia public schools—Loudoun County Public Schools had 73,461 students. That’s an increase of 2,603 students over last year. The Planning and Legislative Services Department underestimated the school system’s enrollment by 228 this year. Not bad considering that’s just 0.3 percent of the overall student population. But the miscalculation hit a handful of schools hard. Creighton’s Corner Elementary near Brambleton has 1,093 students—180 more than forecasted and 150 students more than the building’s program capacity. Rosa Lee Carter Elementary, 2 miles to the east in Loudoun Valley Estates, is housing 987 students—100 more than expected. And Park View High School, in built-out Sterling, Ashburn Today/Danielle Nadler saw a surprising enrollment bump of 112 Cardinal Ridge Elementary School students crowded into the gymnasium on the first day of school.

School Board Weighs Whether To Finance Playgrounds Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

chool Board members appear to be split on whether to finance playgrounds as part of new elementary school construction or continue to leave it up to parents to raise money for the equipment. Six weeks after Panda Power Funds made a donation of almost $100,000 to help build an adaptive playground at Discovery Elementary School, County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) and the communities of the four elementary schools that still do not have playgrounds are asking whether the equipment can be provided when a new school opens. Frederick Douglass in Leesburg, Meadowland in Sterling, Moorefield Station in Ashburn and Cardinal Ridge in South Riding are the ele-

mentary schools still raising money to purchase playground equipment. Kevin Lewis, assistant superintendent for Support Services, told School Board members at their meeting last week that financing playgrounds with bond money approved by voters is allowed and “an appropriate use of bond funds.” He contacted other school districts, and found that Culpepper County is the only other district in the region that does not provide playgrounds for its elementary schools. School Board member Debbie Rose (Algonkian) and a few other board members expressed reservations about financing playgrounds with county taxpayer dollars. “I want to ask county residents, do you want to finance a playground over 30 years? I have a lot of issues with that,” she said, and she questioned the fairness of providing playgrounds

to new schools after so many school communities have raised money for the equipment on their own. Jeff Morse (Dulles), who represents the area of the county that’s experienced the most growth in recent years, said most of the families at the new elementary schools in the Dulles and Ashburn areas have already raised money to build playgrounds before they were reassigned schools—and now they’re left to raise money for yet another playground. “The parents in some of these high-growth areas have paid for three to four playgrounds depending how old their children are,” he said. “I think a level playing field is that the playground is there for the community when the school opens. It benefits everybody, and it’s certainly worth the investment if we think our kids should be in good physical shape.”

York has suggested giving Moorefield Station Elementary $40,000 of the bond money left over after the school’s construction to pay for a playground. That may solve the problem for that school, but not all the elementary schools’ construction projects have leftover bond money, including Meadowland Elementary that was built in 1979, School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) noted. He suggested the board take the time to talk with the Board of Supervisors, the school’s funding body, and seek comments from the public to come up with a good solution that would work for future elementary schools. “I will not support doing it for some and not all,” Hornberger said. The matter has been referred to the board’s Health, Safety and Transportation Committee, which Rose chairs. n

Middleburg Community Charter School received a $40,720 grant as part of $1.6 million the governor’s office awarded in extended school year

The Pavilion at BeanTree in Ashburn is offering a new program that pairs academically superior high school juniors and seniors with elementary school students in a mentorship program. Pavilion Partners begins Saturday, Oct. 24 and continues for 10 weekly sessions focusing on one grade level per session. The first session will serve 40 second graders. The program is funded by a private foundation and gives young children with low performing academic records the opportunity to form a mentor/mentee relationship with students from Broad Run High School’s National Honor Society. The mentors will receive specific training on the implementation of curriculum and activities from both Fairfax and Loudoun County public school teachers in the subjects of literacy and math. The Saturday morning, one-on-one sessions will be overseen by certified teachers with additional instruction in an arts program to include dance and music taught by certified professionals.

River Bend Middle School physical education teacher Nicole Jordan has been named the 2014 Dance Teacher of the Year by the Virginia Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation and Dance. Jordan has taught health and physical education at River Bend for 12 years and has been instrumental in creating a dance curriculum at the Sterling middle school. “Dance is an activity that everyone can participate in,” Jordan said. “It doesn’t matter what age you are. It’s been my experience that kids like to dance, they just don’t know it yet.” Since 2003, Jordan has coached the award-winning Potomac Falls High School dance team. She also serves as the faculty sponsor for River Bend’s Yearbook Club and Boys on the Run.

The grant money will help cover the expenses of in-depth planning scheduled for the school’s staff for two-week intersessions both in the fall and spring, including the cost of consultants, training and materials. “Being able to access these specialists will allow our teachers to utilize the Intersession period to its fullest, so our students will be the beneficiaries,” said Teri Domanksi, who helped write the grant application along with Principal Barbara Smith and Miriam HugheyGuy, a consultant for the charter school’s founding committee. During this school year, the staff will collect and analyze data, as well as plan and design the intersession classes in preparation for the charter school students for the 2015-16 school year. They also will track students’ progress, which will help them plan individualized, focused lessons for students during the intersessions.

an Loudoun create a thriving business and tourist atmosphere like the Reston Town Center or Arlington? County leaders lauded the Silver Line Metrorail extension as the economic tool to do just that during the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce’s State of the County forum last Thursday. The breakfast event featured a discussion led by three guest speakers—Loudoun’s Director of Economic Development Buddy Rizer, Ashburn District Planning Commissioner Robert Klancher and Chris Leinberger, a smart-growth expert and professor at the George Washington University School of Business—on what the county can do to create jobs, attract investment and expand its commercial taxbase. While they celebrated Loudoun’s growing business community and position at the top of the list of wealthiest counties, many of their comments centered on how to harness Metro’s Silver Line as a means to boost the economy. “One does not build a transportation system with the goal of moving people,” said Leinberger, who was voted one of the “Top 100 Urban Thinkers” in a 2009 poll conducted by Planetizen. “One builds a transportation system with the goal of economic development—this is why you invest in transporta-

tion…Walkable urban sites were a niche in the ’90s, now it’s the main market.” For the Metro stop at Dulles Airport, he said the county could create development around it similar to the National Harbor or Reston Town Center, and the two stations that will extend west of the airport he envisions mixed-use developments that not only con-

nect employees to new businesses but also the 5.5 million residents in the DC area to Loudoun’s wine country. Leinberger said there is pent-up demand in Loudoun for walkable urban settings, like those that can be found in Arlington. “People can live in suburban splendor while also living in an urban scene. It’s the best of both worlds.”

Klancher, a principal and architect at Interplan, spoke about several strategies for the future of the housing industry. In the same vein as Leinberger’s vision, Klancher said the greatest demand in Loudoun County is for affordable rental units, and the developments near Metro stops may be the right place for Continued on Next Page

Program To Seek Homes For New Rural Businesses

oudoun’s Department of Economic Development is planning a special forum to link entrepreneurs with ideas for rural businesses with available land. “There are two types of people we’re targeting: those with land, and those who want land. This new land-linking service is kind of like Match.com for farmers,” Kellie Boles, Loudoun agricultural development officer, said.

The partnership provides Turbo Tutoring clients with the opportunity to apply for a scholarship to attend a 12-week academy training session at BlackBench Fit. The first scholarship winner was Gaby Gallegos, a junior at Stone Bridge High School. She is the starting point guard for the women’s basketball team, plays on the lacrosse team, is the president of the Special Ed Club, plays viola and manages the varsity football team. The Turbo Tutoring class is accelerated,

They’ll be matched with landowners who want to lease land that’s not being used for agricultural production, or hand off the day-today operation of their farms to energetic young visionaries,” DED Director Buddy Rizer said. The forum will introduce the Virginia Farm Bureau’s new Certified Farm Seekers Program—a database of farmers who want to lease land for agricultural production, as well as potential leasers.

doun can increase the value of their land by leasing it to beginning farmers to grow crops or livestock. For the new farmers, leasing land helps lower their risk, while increasing their chances of earning a profit much sooner than if they had to buy land and equipment. In cases where the entrepreneur leases from an experienced farmer, the leaser also benefits from the owner’s knowledge and expertise. “This program is mutually rewarding for both parties, and it also strengthens Loudoun’s agricultural economy,” Boles said. She noted that rural businesses contribute more than $69 miljuice concentrates or preservatives. The snacks are available online at abbapaleo.com and from Leesburg area health food retailers. • Omnilert, the Leesburg-based developer of pioneering mass emergency notification systems, has introduced Omnilert Desktop Alerts, an extension of the company’s multimodal alerting system.

When Scott and Becky Harris established the distillery in 2009, the first alcohol they produced was pear brandy, with help from Doug Fabbioli, proprietor of Fabbioli Cellars. In this release of Pearousia pear brandy, each 750ml bottle contains an Asian pear. Early in the spring, each bottle was attached to the pear trees at Patent House Farm Orchard in Lovettsville, where the pollinated blossom inside the bottle was allowed to grow into a full-grown pear. During the summer the ripened pears were cut from the trees and the bottles filled with Pearousia pear brandy. Each bottle is individually numbered and signed by Scott and Becky Harris,

them. “People who don’t have the money for a down payment or don’t know if they will stay awhile don’t have many options,” Klancher said. “We need to find rental homes for young folks just out of college and in their first jobs. Affordable housing is critical to Loudoun’s economy.” He said a helpful solution would be to work with for-profit and nonprofit apartment building companies, as they have access to funding and resources that are not commonly available. Because of the demand for multi-family rental units, Klancher said addressing those affordability issues and developing a housing blueprint for the future is key to the economy’s success in Loudoun. Rizer, who oversees the county’s economic development, spoke optimistically about the economic future of Loudoun, which is home to 22 companies that made Inc. Magazine’s list of

the nation’s top 5,000 fastest-growing businesses in 2014. He sees the Metro extension as an opportunity to harness the power of the county’s rural economy. “By 2020, we will have a rural economy that is as vibrant and vital as any in the country,” Rizer said. “In order for us to grow, we need to continue to look and challenge ourselves…We’re currently working with six business prospects to pull the trigger on opening farm breweries and we have 42 wineries and counting in DC’s Wine Country, while also developing strategic business centers for the majority of consumers. Rizer noted that county leaders hope to continue building the cyber-security industry and personalized medicine business segments, while continuing to draw international businesses to set up shop in Loudoun. “We need to continue attracting businesses from all over the world,” Rizer said n

Raiders Continue As Volleyball Force Ben Trittipoe

For Ashburn Today

he Loudoun County girls volleyball team has established itself as one of the premier programs in Virginia with a state-record six championships over the past seven seasons. Despite the graduation of five seniors from a 31-0 team that claimed the inaugural Group 4A state title last fall, the Raiders show no signs of regressing and should once again be a force in the upcoming VHSL postseason. Hosting its annual “Think Pink” match to benefit the Loudoun Breast Health Network Monday night in Leesburg, Loudoun County showed its strength by sweeping past cross-town rival Tuscarora by scores of 25-15, 25-16 and 25-12. Juniors Taylor Borup and Rachel Voketaitis led the Raiders (17-2) with 12 and nine kills, respectively, and Borup added seven digs. Senior Ciara Kain added seven kills and 10 digs, while fellow seniors Hannah Vandegrift and Olivia Aycock each had six kills. Vandegrift led Loudoun County with 16 assists and added eight digs. Junior Lexxie Faison led Tuscarora (8-10) with eight kills and senior Alexis Coombs added six. Loudoun County—which has won eight consecutive region championships and reached at least the state semifinals in each of the past eight seasons—used four separate three-point bursts to take a 15-8 lead in the first game of the match. Tuscarora closed within 16-12 and 19-15 before the Raiders scored the final six points to clinch the game. Aycock had two kills in the final spurt, while Vandegrift served for the final five points. “When we’re in-system and can run our offense the way we want to, we’re usually successful. We have a lot of big hitters,” Tuscarora head coach Meghan Puckli said. “That works really well for us when we can get set up.” The Raiders jumped out to a 4-0 lead in Game 2 before the Huskies rallied to pull within 8-6. Voketaitis had two straight kills and Vandegrift served consecutive aces for a 13-6 lead, but Tuscarora continued to play

tough behind Coombs and senior Sydney Garrell (three kills) and closed within 18-13. But County got two kills from junior Abby Wright and three from Voketaitis to pull away for a 2-0 advantage in the match. “We have such strong attackers, we need to keep pushing the middle,” Loudoun County head coach Sherilyn Hanna said. “We’re going to find teams that are equally as strong up front and we need to have a threat at all three attacking positions across the front. We have the personnel to do it, we just have to be sure to make it happen.” The 6-foot-3 Borup showed some of her dominance at the net with two kills as County jumped out to a 7-1 lead in the third and ultimately final game. Tuscarora scored consecutive points just once as the Raiders—with seven service aces in the game—built a 22-8 advantage and cruised to the easy victory. While the Raiders continue to be strong at the net—nine players are listed as 5-10 or taller—their play across the back line is where they win matches. Rarely does a ball hit the court without a player getting at least a piece of it. “A lot of it is their hard work in the offseason in club situations where they are seeing high-speed attackers,” Hanna said. “Another part of it is just stepping up and doing the job.” Hanna attributes much of County’s success this season to the leadership of senior Emily Solis, who is playing her first season as the team’s Libero after being a defensive specialist the past two years. “You can’t give Emily enough credit,” Hanna said of Solis, who tied for team-high honors Monday with 10 digs. “To come into her senior year and be responsible for that position has been great. The Libero position is like the quarterback of the team. Not only is it digging and playing defense, it’s also directing the hitters and adjusting to the blocks. She’s done a wonderful job of stepping into that role.” Despite the loss, Puckli believes the Huskies can still be a factor in Group 5A’s Conference 14, which features defending 5A state runner-up Stone Bridge, state semifinalist Broad Run and other solid teams in Briar

Woods, Potomac Falls and Freedom. “We’ve had an up-and-down season,” Puckli said, noting the Huskies graduated six seniors from last year’s 19-7 team that advanced to the 5A North Region semifinals. “It’s been difficult trying to fill in so many key spots from last year. It’s been a roller coaster. It just depends on the night.” “We just have to have faith and believe in ourselves,” Puckli added. “Having that team element is very crucial. We have to all work together in order to get there.” Team camaraderie is something Loudoun County does not lack. The Raiders showed their strength by going 4-1 in the Tournament of Champions Oct. 10-11 in Roanoke, defeating defending Group 5A champion Atlee and West Virginia Class AAA champ Musselman and falling only to Virginia private schools defending champion

Flint Hill. The only other loss for County this season came Sept. 3 against 2013 Group 5A runner-up Stone Bridge. “We’ve got a great tradition and that really helps,” Hanna said. “There is different personnel every year and changes to that effect, but that tradition is like a seventh man on the court. It’s huge. The kids don’t take it for granted, but it’s something they can use to motivate them. “We have a couple of losses, but we played well in the tournament down in Roanoke,” Hanna added. “It was great competition in terms of seeing what we’ll face in the postseason. The chemistry with the girls is tremendous. They think of each other before they think of themselves. You can’t create that. It comes from within, and that’s huge in volleyball.” n

Farm Bureau. Through that organization, he met Philip Shenk, who works for the Virginia Farm Bureau and had grown up with brother Mark on the 120-acre Wayside Farm property near Berryville. As discussions of growing pumpkins turned into discussions about operating an agriculture entertainment business, the Wegmeyers and Shenks created a partnership to operate the new business. They offer a giant corn maze, with a theme that changes every year, pig races run by students from Loudoun Valley High School’s drama department, peddle tractor races, duck races, straw bale mountain climbing and a slide Tyler Wegmeyer built from a combine. Unlike Wegmeyer, which offers free admission, Wayside, like most of the more elaborate agriculture entertainment businesses, charges an admission fee of $10 per person. “It’s almost like the opposite of [the Hamilton farm],” Harriet Wegmeyer said. “I think it’s important that any farm location know who they are and know their identity and know what they’re going for. Wegmeyer Farms will not change. This fits exactly the way that we want it right here and it’s not right for everybody, but it is right for a lot of people. Wayside Farm Fun is for the people who want to come and spend four hours and do the activities—and, by the way, pick a great pumpkin.” Like many popular farm entertainment businesses around the region, Wayside offers lots of bells and whistles, but for Harriet Wegmeyer, the educational component is still key. “It’s all agriculture. It stays true to itself

being agriculture education, but there’s just a ton of fun mixed in,” she said. Both Harriet and Tyler Wegmeyer come from farming families and, interestingly, both raised pumpkins as a way to earn extra money as young people. Harriet grew up on a dairy farm in upstate New York’s Hudson Valley. Her parents ran an ice cream stand on the farm, and Harriet raised pumpkins for sale at the stand. Tyler grew up in northern Michigan and also raised and sold pumpkins to earn money. The couple met in Northern Virginia, where they had both gravitated in their 20s while working in agriculture-related jobs. Harriet was working in Reston for the Maryland and Virginia Milk Producers Co-op, and Tyler was working as the agriculture legislative aide for a member of the U.S. Congress from his home state. They married in 2002 and bought a property in Round Hill, where they grew their first crop of pumpkins, which they sold at local farmers markets. “Our entire married life, we’ve grown pumpkins,” Harriet Wegmeyer laughed. In 2004, they fell in love with and bought the property outside Lincoln that is Wegmeyer Farms, where the couple and their children still live. The Wegmeyers continued selling pumpkins at markets, but after receiving repeated requests from customers to open the farm up for pick-your-own, they opened the farm in its current form in 2008, growing pumpkins in the fall and strawberries in the late spring and early Continued on Page 30

from increasing employee health care premiums to getting that $12.5 million back. “We can’t have our employee insurance fund be the de facto piggy bank every time there’s a budgeting error on the county side,” Bill Fox (Leesburg) said. “It’s not fair to our employees.” School Board members asked Burden what the fund would look like if the county hadn’t taken the $12.5 million five years ago. “Well,” she answered. “If we didn’t have those funds reduced, our number would be in the black instead of red.” School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) pointed out that the School Board did not authorize the Board of Supervisors to take the fund balance. “It was just done.” Virginia law requires all fund balances to revert to the local governing body at the end of the fiscal year, County Administrator Tim Hemstreet said in an interview with Leesburg Today Thursday. “So those excess funds belong to the county taxpayer,” he said. But, he added that he and the Board of Supervisors would be receptive to the School Board’s request for money to help fill the deficit. “If they need help, I’m sure the Board of Supervisors will consider it and provide financial assistance if they feel it’s important.” During Tuesday’s meeting, School Board member Jeff Morse (Dulles) noted that the $12.5 million pool was created in FY10 because the school system charged employees more than they were spending on health care at the time, and the school system also contributed more than it was spending on health care. “So a large portion of this money came out of our employees’ pockets,” and should be returned, he said. Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) agreed, but cautioned board members to tread lightly because they do not want the Board of Supervisors to hand over the $12.5 million and have that amount essentially taken out of next fiscal year’s county transfer to the schools. “We don’t want to be counter productive to our budget discussion this year,” she said.

Superintendent Eric Williams told board members that he spoke with Hemstreet about the fund balance and said he sounded receptive to the idea. Whether or not the $12.5 million returns to the school system’s coffers, long-term changes need to be made in how the school system covers the ever-rising costs of health coverage, Burden told board members. Changes proposed to the School Board last week that would go into effect in January include increasing employees’ pharmacy co-pay by $5 and increasing out-of-network pricing. These changes are in addition to a 10 percent increase in premiums that the board adopted as part of its FY15 budget. Other changes proposed to start January 2016 include adding a deductible to the school system’s most popular health care plan, the POS plan—$150 for individual and $300 for family— and increasing the deductible for those on the OAP plan from $200 to $400 for individual and from $300 to $600 for family; increasing co-pay for primary providers from $15 to $20 and from $30 to $40 for specialists; and as much as a 15 percent premium increase. “There is no doubt that for the long term we are going to have to go out and bid for a health care plan and will need to develop a new, affordable but adequate, level of services,” Burden said, and suggested the board consider other types of plans such as consumer driven plans or health maintenance organizations. “Anything we can do to pull the amount of the costs down.” During the public comment portion of the meeting, Joey Mathews, president of the Loudoun Education Association, urged board members not to change employees’ health care plans for the second time in the past few years. “Don’t make up this deficit on the backs of the employees,” he said. The School Board is expected to vote on the proposed changes and on a request for county funds at its Nov. 11 meeting. Morse also plans to bring up the transfer at the next Joint Board of Supervisors/School Board meeting in December. n

summer. The couple’s three boys—Torsten and Tucker, who attend Lincoln Elementary, and preschooler Colden—are now 8, 6, and 4. The boys have an integral role at both properties. At Wegmeyer, they are actors in the farm’s Creepy Hollow Hayride, popping out to give participants a gentle scare. Their role at Wayside is perhaps even more important: helping design and execute the corn maze each year, and helping their parents keep their finger on the pulse of their target demographic: elementary school-aged kids. “They are very involved in Wayside. They’re out there painting, they’re working on stuff. It’s their business, too,” Harriet Wegmeyer said. “We say, ‘Hey does this work? Would you like to do this’? We would have never chosen [last year’s] Angry Birds or superheroes by ourselves.” Like many area families, the Wegmeyers are busy balancing, school, work and family commitments. For Tyler, running operations at Wegmeyer and Wayside is a full time job. But Harriet still maintains a separate full-time job running a soil science non-profit called Nutrients for Life. Fall weekends are devoted to the two farm operations, but their work on the farm is also important family bonding time. “It’s crazy, but as long as we can stay together at it, we’re good,” Harriet Wegmeyer said.

Education

Ryan was an exceptionally unique, gifted, smart, sensitive young man who loved nature for its purity and honesty. From an early age he excelled in history and military science and came to understand that civilizationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; search for peace is fraught with conflict due to societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shortcomings and manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pursuit of the wrong ideals. Ryan could not accept compromise in order â&#x20AC;&#x153;to perform and operate in this societyâ&#x20AC;?. This realization finally took his life.

espite the high level of national concern about the potential for West Africa’s Ebola epidemic to spread into the United States, few communities are likely to come into contact with the virus. Loudoun, however, is closer

to the front line. Last week, public safety leaders in most communities across the U.S. were meeting to review their response procedures in the wake of the dangers exposed in the treatment of the nation’s first Ebola patient in Texas. Emergency responders in Loudoun found themselves running through an unplanned, real life exercise. It is unlikely to be the last one. The federal government’s decision to select Dulles Airport to serve as one of five gateways through which to funnel travelers from countries combating the spread of the deadly virus increases the chance that local resources will be called into service to isolate and treat suspected cases of infection. Fortunately, Loudoun’s public safety and medical communities have strong track records in dealing promptly and proactively to such health threats—from the appearance of malaria carrying mosquitoes and the exposure to anthrax in 2002, a case of SARS in 2003, to the emergence of West Nile, to the more recent push to raise awareness about Lyme disease. A hallmark of those efforts has been keeping residents well informed and giving them the tools they need to understand the risks and reduce their chances of exposure. That should remain the focus in the face of this new threat. It may not be easy in an era of tighter patient confidentiality laws that promote secrecy in treatment centers and when every relatively routine fever and digestive ailment has the potential to create unnecessary alarm. The best defense will be an educated public given the tools to help to protect their families and their neighbors.

LETTERS to the editor Secured Borders

H Dear Editor:

ats off to Sherriff Mike Chapman and his staff on the proactive, common sense way they handled Loudoun’s first possible Ebola case. Last week a woman returning from Ebola-stricken western Africa to Dulles Airport was detained on an outstanding warrant. Awaiting extradition to Maryland, she was immediately put into precautionary isolation at Loudoun’s Adult Detention Center because of her potential exposure to Ebola. When she developed a low-grade fever, she was transferred to Inova Loudoun Hospital in Lansdowne, for observation. Each step of the way, Sherriff Chapman’s staff erred on the side of caution, protecting the people of Loudoun, while keeping us informed. Contrast that with Senator Mark Warner’s “protection” of public health. Warner, President Obama, and virtually the entire Democrat caucus in both Virginia and nationally, have vociferously opposed securing our southern border, holding out for a “comprehensive” approach to our immigration crisis that would include amnesty for illegal aliens already here. As a result, infections with Enterovirus D68, common in Central America but typically rare in the U.S., is on the rise in Virginia and, to quote CDC, “the United States is currently

experiencing a nationwide outbreak of EV-D68.” The vector for this outbreak is thought to be some of the thousands of illegal aliens from Central America that have crossed into the U.S. in the past 18 months. In his Oct. 3 letter to the Secretaries of HHS and DHS, Senator Warner expressed his concern about the spread of Ebola and offered several suggestions. Notably, he refused to suggest the common sense policy of closing U.S. airspace to civilian air traffic carrying passengers who transited through, or are coming directly from, Ebola-stricken parts of Africa. Warner continues to oppose securing our sieve-like southern border, for any reason, until amnesty is included in “the deal.” The temptation to reshape the demographics of the electorate for political gain through massive immigration may make political sense to Democrats, but it is unconscionable when it puts the health and well-being of Americans at risk. If Senator Warner wants to lead for Virginia; he can start right now by calling for an immediate securing of our borders and a quarantine of civil traffic and passengers coming from, or transiting through, areas where Ebola are endemic. He won’t, because he prefers pandering to leading. Patricia Phillips, Sterling

Citing Cannon’s profound love of Loudoun County, Whiting said that commitment to the client sometimes made for challenging times during her career, particularly on development issues, and at a time when the General Assembly had little understanding of the destabilizing impacts of rapid development. “But she did her job; she understood that an attorney works for a client—but it wasn’t easy,” She also faced those issues of growth and growth control as the attorney for the Town of Hamilton. “As a judge, she had a stellar reputation. She brought fairness, wisdom and predictability to General District Court, when it was desperate for it,” Whiting said, noting some turmoil on the bench at the time Cannon became a judge. “She quickly became the yardstick by which everything was measured—and it was one of her most important achievements.” Rhonda Wilson Paice, an attorney with the Leesburg law firm of Ritenour Paice Mougin-Boal & Wexton, remembers Cannon as “a mentor and a trailblazer for women attorneys in Loudoun County,” noting Cannon practiced her whole career in Loudoun. Paice first met her in the early 1990s, around the time Cannon went on the bench. She was a close friend of the late Joe Ritenour, with whom Paice was in practice, so she got to know Cannon well. “For me personally, she was the person I looked to and emulated in the practice of law in a small community like this. She was a native of Loudoun as I was and was always very cognizant of her roots and also of the changing character of the community,” Paice said. That changing character included more Spanish-speaking litigants and the need for translators. Cannon as a judge learned how to say, “Please have a seat” in Spanish. “She understood that when people are speaking a different language and they’re in the middle of a legal controversy it’s so disconcerting. It was important to her to make sure that no matter what the language or the country a person came from, they would have their day in court.” Not only was Cannon a role model for those with whom she practiced law, but she was a special role model for those who came after her, according to Paice. Cannon was a member of a prominent Lincoln Quaker family. She was the daughter of the late Thomas Edward Taylor and Mary Taylor. She had one brother, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Henry S. Taylor, and two sisters, Carolyn Taylor and Mary Jay Michel. She leaves behind her husband Thomas Cannon and two daughters, Jessica and Johanna Cannon. A celebration of Julia Cannon’s life will be held next month, scheduled for Nov. 29 at 2 p.m. at the Goose Creek Friends Meeting House in Lincoln. n

he Loudoun legal community was shocked last week to learn of the death of retired Loudoun General District Court Judge Julia Taylor Cannon after a short illness. Cannon, 65, served as a District Court judge from July 1992 to April 2012. Cannon’s Oct. 18 death came as a surprise to friends and colleagues. Retired Loudoun Circuit Court Judge Thomas D. Horne said he had seen Cannon just a couple of months ago and was unaware she was ill. “She was a great person, and a really brilliant legal scholar,” Horne said. “She was another Don Devine person,” Horne said, referring to the late Don Devine, who served as Loudoun’s commonwealth’s attorney from 1971-1979 and died earlier this month. Horne first met Cannon in her second year studying law at the University of Virginia. Horne was in private practice with Devine and several other attorneys when “she came and worked for us one summer, then came to Leesburg and went into private practice with John Ryan, later a judge on the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court,” he recalled. Cannon went on to serve as the county attorney and then operated a practice that included land use cases during Loudoun’s late 1980s growth spurt, including the original University Center rezoning. She was elected by the General Assembly to the District Court judgeship in 1992. Horne said he had always wanted her to become a judge on the Circuit Court, as Horne did in 1982, “but that wasn’t the way she wanted to go.” “We crossed paths a lot, and kept in touch over the years; we shared a lot of things,” Horne said, adding Cannon’s varied practice represented how good a lawyer she was.” He noted that Cannon continued to sit on the General District Court even after retirement. “Truly she was a respected judge through the state,” Horne said. Loudoun’s Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary Clemens, while not working specifically with Cannon during her time on the General District Court, also praised the judge. “She was very fair, very cooperative and worked closely with the attorneys and members of the local Bar. Her death is very sad for the county and the court system,” he said. Longtime Loudoun municipal attorney Elizabeth Whiting was a good friend of Cannon’s. She also expressed great shock over her sudden death. Cannon studied law at The University of Virginia from 1971-1974 and Whiting first met her in Charlottesville. “I knew her since the fall of 1972; she was a second-year law student and I was arriving for my first day of law classes at UVA. Julie came up to me and said something on the order of, ‘Are you the other girl from Loudoun County?’” That was the start of a lifelong friendship, Whiting said. Although the two never had a class together, it was “all eye contact, a friendly exchange basis—we played tag football together, basic day-to-day contact.” Later, they became close friends and the two shared legal careers—Cannon, first as assistant Loudoun county attorney from 1976 to 1978, then as county attorney from 1978 to 1979, and Whiting as Prince William’s first assistant county attorney. After leaving the county attorney’s position in October 1979, Cannon went into private practice. The two were part of a “bunch of young lawyers who socialized together and hit it off,” Whiting said. What Cannon brought to her profession was “a perspective that used law to analyze situations,” Whiting said, citing particularly Cannon’s tenure in local government. “She knew the importance of transactional law: whether a transaction should happen, was likely to happen and how to shape it for the benefit of the client.”

some of his key inaccuracies. He states that I proposed a “tax cut… that would cut the school budget even further” for the FY16 budget discussions. This is not accurate. I proposed our budget discussions start at the “equalized” rate, which means we would begin where the average homeowner’s taxes are right now. This board has never “cut the school budget.” The only time the budget was actually reduced was in FY10 and FY11 by the previous Democrat board. Last year, we funded 100 percent of their capital budget and 96 percent of their requested operating budget. LCPS requested a 13.7 percent budget increase with only a 3.4 percent increase in students. In the end, we increased their funding by 8.7 percent or $70,000,000. His statement of my concerns about the costs to the county of the “210 (277 actual) unaccompanied undocumented” young people from Central and South America from a health and cost standpoint is true. We only know about the health situation for the 87 of the 277 children in our schools this year. This board, previous boards and the National Association of Counties are on record opposed to unfunded mandates from the state and federal governments. This crisis that has been foisted on Loudoun and many other counties is a fundamental breakdown of the federal government and its unwillingness to enforce its own existing laws. My heart goes out to these children but we as a county have a right to know the impacts of this action particularly as it affects our school budgets and the $12,195 it costs to educate each pupil in Loudoun County. Our neighbor, Fairfax County ($13,535 cost per pupil) received approximately 1,100 minors. The fiscal impacts of educating these children have the potential to impact local budgets in a significant way. It is irresponsible for a locality not to assess this impact. I have shared previously with Mr. Baldwin that Redskins funding is transient occupancy tax funding generated from visitors through hotel rooms. It must be spent on promoting Loudoun and does not compete with the school or county operating budgets for local property tax revenues. The financial and other benefits to Loudoun and the state far outweigh the TOT funding. While Loudoun County ranks near the top of the Forbes magazine list of the counties with the highest median income, we also rank number one on the list for our property taxes in Virginia and our region. Raising taxes is the easy answer to hard fiscal choices. It is also the wrong answer for the Loudoun taxpayer. The goal of this board is to balance our property tax base, by attracting new business to grow our commercial and industrial side, while keeping our residential taxes in check. Mr. Baldwin understood that higher taxes impede business growth, when he emailed me last year opposed to the transportation bill, because it “raises occupancy taxes for B&Bs like ours, and hotels throughout Northern Virginia, by 40 percent. This issue is a big one, adversely affecting Loudoun’s tourism.” He was right. Geary Higgins, Supervisor Catoctin District

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY VIRGINIA ELECTRIC AND POWER COMPANY, FOR APPROVAL AND CERTIFICATION OF ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION FACILITIES FOR THE BRAMBLETON-MOSBY 500 KV TRANSMISSION LINE #546 CASE NO. PUE-2014-00086 On August 22, 2014, Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion Virginia Power (“Dominion Virginia Power” or “Company”) filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application and supporting documents (“Application”) for approval and certification of electric transmission facilities pursuant to §§ 56-46.1 and 56-265.1 et seq. of the Code of Virginia to build, entirely within existing rights of way, a second 500 kilovolt (“kV”) Brambleton-Mosby Transmission Line #546 in Loudoun County, and to perform associated work at existing Mosby Switching Station and Brambleton Substation (the “Project”). According to the Company, the proposed approximately 5.2-mile transmission line utilizes an existing 250-foot wide transmission rightof-way which is currently occupied by three transmission lines: 500 kV Line #558, approved for rebuild in Case No. PUE-2013-00110; 230 kV Line #2045; and 230 kV Line #2094. In connection with the Project, the Company will relocate the existing 230 kV Line #2094 to the Project’s proposed structures as an underbuild. The Company states that the Project will be built on new galvanized steel towers identical to those approved by the Commission in PUE-2013-00110. The Company states that the in-service date for the proposed Rebuild Project is June 1, 2018. According to Dominion Virginia Power, the estimated cost for the proposed Rebuild Project is approximately $27.3 million, of which approximately $17.4 million would be spent on transmission line construction and approximately $9.9 million would be spent on station work. A detailed description of the proposed routing is printed below: The Project will follow existing right-of-way for its entirety, originating at existing Mosby Station in Loudoun County. Upon leaving the station, the existing right-of-way follows a north/northeasterly direction for approximately 3.3 miles before crossing the John Mosby Highway (U.S. 50). The existing right-of-way continues approximately 1.4 miles to the Brambleton Station. All distances and directions are approximate. A sketch map of the proposed route accompanies this notice. A more detailed map of the proposed route may be viewed on the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/pue/elec/transline.aspx. The Commission may consider a route not significantly different from the route described in this notice without additional notice to the public. The Company’s Application and supporting materials, Commission orders, and all documents filed in Case No. PUE-2014-00086 may be inspected in the Commission’s Document Control Center, Office of the Clerk of the Commission, First Floor, Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia, during Commission business hours.
