“Let’s get this into more schools,” Sheridan said. Following the committee’s recommendation, the full School Board is expected to vote next month to give the green light to expand the program. “This is what we hoped for,” Rona Scott said when she heard the board wanted to see more schools participate. She sits on the Loudoun Hunger Committee that helped launch the Food Recovery Program. “All of us who were part of this planning process believed that once everyone could see how much food was recovered, and going to feed the food insecure in the county, that this would take off.” etting the Food Recovery Program into motion was a long time in the making. A major hurdle was a federal law that did not allow schools to donate excess food. Rep. Frank Wolf (VA-10) spearheaded the effort to change that in 2009 when he introduced the School Food Recovery Act to allow schools to donate leftover food and to protect them from any liability. The bill was ultimately rolled into the FY12 appropriations bill that was signed into law in November 2011.

Joe Johnson, a third-grader at Frances Hazel Reid Elementary School, does his part to reduce waste and hunger in Loudoun County. His school is one of six participating in the Food Recovery Program, and administrators want to expand the program to more schools.

t the end of the busy lunch hour in the Frances Hazel Reid Elementary cafeteria Monday, students made their way to a trio of trashcans to dump their half-eaten quesadillas, carrots and grapes from their trays. Then they made one more stop before heading back to the classroom, at a table lined with three bins labeled with a sign that seemed to almost shout: “Save Our Food!” “This goes to people who maybe need help and are hungry,” Joe Johnson, a thirdgrader, explained as he tossed an unopened bag of chips into one of the bins. Since September, six Loudoun County elementary schools have asked their students to drop what food they don’t eat— including unopened packages of yogurt, bagels, cheese sticks, cereal and milk— into designated bins. Volunteers deliver the items to food pantries around the county, and within 48 hours the perfectly good food that would have ended up in the landfill is instead in the hands of Loudoun families who need it most. “It has been such a huge win-win,”

said Jennifer Montgomery, executive director of Loudoun Interfaith Relief, which takes food from Frances Hazel Reid and John W. Tolbert elementary schools. “Otherwise, all this food goes in the trash. It’d be a wasted resource at a time when there is such a need.” After a successful few months, school leaders want to expand the initiative. Loudoun County School Board members last week got a brief update on the program, which was first launched as a small pilot to make sure it did not demand too much school staff time. Becky Domokos-Bays, the school system’s new director of School Nutrition Services, told board members during a Health, Safety and Transportation Committee meeting the program was run completely by volunteers and then rattled off a few statistics: 1,200 pounds of food has been recovered so far this year and, by the end of the school year, the program will have fed an estimated 300 families of four. “That’s just from these six schools,” Domokos-Bays said. Before she could get out all of her statistics, School Board members Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) and Debbie Rose (Algonkian) interjected.

oudoun supervisors agreed last week to allow the developers of One Loudoun to scrap a phasing plan aimed at balancing the impacts of residential development with the pace of commercial growth on the Ashburn property. Under previous rules for the 360-acre development, 1,040 homes and more than 4.2 million square feet of commercial space were scheduled to be built in three phases. But the developers could have built only 450 homes until they finished constructing 1 million

square feet of commercial space. Then the project would have been completed in two more phases and considered built out with 590 more homes and more than 3 million more square feet of commercial space. Supervisors, however, voted 6-2-1 to toss the phasing plan after the completion of the first 450 homes. Supervisors Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) and Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) voted against the move. Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) was absent from the meeting. The new rules allow the building of the remaining 590 homes after two criteria are met: • construction of the Rt. 7/Ashburn Village Boulevard interchange has begun; and • 300,000 square feet of commercial space is filled.

That shouldn’t take long. One Loudoun, which is required to build the Rt. 7 interchange, says that work could begin next spring. And more than 267,000 square feet of commercial space is either occupied or in the process of being filled at the development. Reasons for requiring phasing in mixed-use projects include not deluging county agencies by adding a lot of homes, which require government services, at one time, and encouraging the development of businesses, which generate more tax revenue than they cost in services. But County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) said during last week’s meeting that making the One Loudoun changes was prudent. York said

that allowing more people to move there quicker— or, as he said, “putting heads in beds”—translates to more customers for the development’s businesses. “It helps this project move along,” he said. Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) agreed, saying that the board has to be flexible if it wants mixed-use developments to succeed. She said that One Loudoun is off and running while similar projects are still just “groves of trees,” and that she’s jealous that the development isn’t in her district. It is in the district board Vice Chairman Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) represents and he ardently supported the developer’s proposed

wrote. Dave Quanbeck, chairman of the charter school’s board of directors, said the school is not yet looking for another principal. “The door doesn’t appear to be completely shut at this point.” If, ultimately, Smith falls short of the qualifications needed for a Virginia administration license, the board of directors will appoint a licensed interim principal and begin the search for a new administrator. “If the door is completely closed, then we’ll move on and find a principal who meets the requirements of the charter contract,” Quanbeck said. Following Loudoun’s School Board’s actions last week, the charter school has 30 days to come up with a remediation plan. n

he Virginia Department of Education says that Barbara Smith, principal of the Middleburg Community Charter School, does not meet the requirements to receive a state teaching administration license. Smith received a letter from VDOE Friday stating the agency would not accept her licensure credentials from the Ontario College of Teachers qualifying her as a principal. In the letter, the department of education says that Smith, at this time, is only eligible to receive a three-year nonrenewable provisional license to teach health and physical education. Smith’s lack of a license to teach or serve as an administrator

in Virginia is what prompted the Loudoun County School Board last week to place the four-month-old charter school on probation. The charter school is a public school that operates under the umbrella of the Loudoun County Public Schools. The School Board also drafted a letter last week to VDOE expressing its concerns about the delay in processing Smith’s certification request, which was first made in May. The department of education is denying Smith’s request because her education at the Ontario College of Teachers qualifying her as a principal in Canada is not equivalent to Virginia requirements, said VDOE Communications Director Charles Pyle. The letter to Smith from VDOE states that she also has not completed graduate-level

York (R-At Large) and Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) voted against the list of names. Letourneau said that “Broad Run” was a poor choice. The Loudoun residents who live closest to the station voted for other options in the survey, he said, and their input should be strongly considered when choosing a name for the Rt. 606 station. The name for the Silver Line station at Dulles Airport already has been chosen. It will be called, perhaps obviously, “Washington Dulles International Airport.” n

olice near Altoona, PA, have linked the perpetrators in the Nov. 26 smash-and-grab robbery at a Dulles Town Center mall jewelry store to a similar case that occurred in their area one day later. In the Loudoun case, four men used sledgehammers to break a jewelry case at the Fink’s Jewelers store and stole numerous expensive wristwatches. The robbery happened about 2:40 p.m. the day before Thanksgiving. Investigators released video stills of the suspects. In the Pennsylvania case, police said three men entered Kranich’s Jewelers in the Logan Valley Mall minutes before closing time, smashed a display case and made off with watches valued at almost $250,000, according to media reports. Video of those suspects showed faces and clothing that match those in the Loudoun case. Logan County and Loudoun County investigators are working on the cases with FBI assistance to determine if there have been similar robberies. The suspects may be linked to an organized criminal gang in Detroit and at least one arrest warrant has been issued, according to reports from the Pennsylvania investigation. The Loudoun Sheriff’s Office hadn’t released any additional information on the case as of Tuesday.

A South Riding teen faces multiple charges after trying to flee a traffic stop early Sunday morning. According to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office, a deputy in the area of Gum Spring Road and Braddock Road saw an erratic driver just after 2 a.m. Dec. 7 and began to pull the car over. The driver turned off the car’s headlights and sped away. In the area of Flowering Path Place, the driver bailed from the car, which rolled into a fire hydrant. The juvenile was taken into custody at an area home following a pursuit during which a fence was damaged. The teen faces juvenile petitions for DUI, felony eluding, underage possession of alcohol, felony hit-and-run, illegally stopping on a highway, driving without headlights on, possession of marijuana, obstruction of justice, and destruction of property.

gram’s start. The patient or responsible party then will receive a bill for any co-insurance or deductibles. The reimbursement model also includes a revenue-sharing component so that the volunteer fire and rescue companies that provide the ambulance service will receive the majority of the revenue. Funds received through the program will be used to pay for training, equipment, special apparatuses and support personnel. Implementation of an EMS Transport Reimbursement Program will have no impact on the emergency medical services provided to Loudoun residents and visitors and no one will be denied service based on the ability to pay, according to the announcement.

oudoun’s Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management has begun the public outreach that will lead into the implementation of charges for medical transportation by ambulance. The county’s Emergency Medical Services Transport Reimbursement Program will seek to recover the cost of providing emergency medical services to help offset some of the operational expenses of the fire-rescue system, which includes career personnel and volunteers. The Board of Supervisors voted to establish the program last spring and established a fee structure based on charges imposed by other area jurisdictions that already charge for ambulance service. The fees are: $467 for Basic Life Support, $660 for Advanced Life Support I and $770 for Advanced Life Support II. If a patient is taken by ambulance to the hospital, the patient’s insurance company, Medicaid or Medicare will be billed first, the county noted Tuesday in announcing the pro-

Taking advantage of the new law became a stated goal of county, nonprofit and business leaders who gathered at the Loudoun Hunger Summit last year. “Fairfax County schools were already doing it, and when we heard that we said, ‘Why are we not doing this here,’” Scott said. She worked with the school system and food pantries to organize the volunteer base, and now, she says, it’s running like clockwork. Volunteers from the pantries pick up the food once a week from four of the six schools— Lowes Island in Sterling, Newton-Lee in Ashburn, Mountain View and Emerick in Purcellville—and deliver it to the LINK Against Hunger pantry in Sterling and the Tree of Life pantry in Purcellville. The two Leesburg schools are working with the town’s R.O.C.K. (Recreation Outreach to Community Kids) program and Loudoun County’s Camp R.E.A.L. (Raising Education, Achievement and Leadership) to get the food where it needs to go. Montgomery said it was difficult to get enough volunteers to transport the donations each week. But when she heard that the almost 300 kids in the R.O.C.K. and R.E.A.L. programs needed afternoon snacks, she invited them to pick up the food from the schools, take what they needed and deliver the rest to Interfaith Relief. “This is a no-brainer,” she said. “It’s a nonprofit, the school system, and town and county governments all working together to make sure kids who need food are getting it. And we’re using food that was going to be thrown away.”

n the schools, principals and counselors have seen the Food Recovery Program as a chance to teach the county’s youngest citizens about giving back. Allison Johnson, counselor at Frances Hazel Reid Elementary in Leesburg, shared with a cafeteria full of students on one of the first days of school that they were going to do their part to help lessen waste and hunger in the county. “We tell them, if you’re hungry eat your lunch. But whatever you can’t eat, let’s give it to someone who needs it,” Johnson said. Principal Brenda Jochems wants to assure other principals who may be interested in signing up to help recover food that it has not required much work on the school’s end, and it’s been a positive experience for the students. The school’s fifth-graders got inspired to do more so they raised money to purchase a discounted refrigerator from Sterling Appliance to store the items until they are picked up. “It’s teaching the kids to give back and about not being wasteful,” Jochems said. “It has made us all realize how much food we were throwing away. It’s shocking.” Scott said she has nine schools in line eager to start recovering food from their cafeterias. “They’re just waiting for the final OK from the School Board, and they’re off.” And from there, she added, the possibilities are almost endless. There’s no reason why the food recovery concept could not work in every one of the county’s 86 schools, she said. “If every school in Loudoun County participated, in one year we could recover over 489,000 pounds of food. And that’s not costing anybody anything. It’s just food that would be thrown away.” To make it a concept that can be sustained, Montgomery encourages other nonprofits and schools to get creative in finding volunteers to oversee the food pick-up and delivery, just as they have in Leesburg. She’s suggested the food recovery program work in tandem with Backpack Buddies, which sends food home on Fridays with students who would otherwise go hungry over the weekend. “Backpack Buddies is buying food, while down the street schools are throwing food away,” Montgomery said. “Growing this will take a lot of volunteers, but I think it’s doable. Coming up with creative partnerships is what will ensure the needs are getting met in the community.” n

awa is on its way to Loudoun. The Board of Supervisors last week approved an application by the Pennsylvania-based company to build its first convenience store in the county. Supervisors voted 5-3-1 in favor of the proposal for the intersection of Old Ox and Oak Grove roads. But the approval didn’t come quickly or easily. Wawa negotiated with the county for more than two years, and the company’s soonto-be competitors and some board members said that the Sterling location wasn’t the best site for a gas station. There are already plenty of gas stations nearby, said Supervisor Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge). “I just don’t feel like this is the right place,” said Clarke, who voted against the Wawa application along with Supervisors Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) and Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling). Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) was absent from the meeting. Reid was worried about another topic: gridlock in the area just west of Herndon. “I really believe this is going to be a traffic problem,” he said. Fred Chandler, whose mother owns a nearby parcel where there’s a 7-Eleven, argued again last week, as he has before, that his family

“We want Wawa here in the county.” Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) Vice Chairman

had to agree not to provide carryout food to get a similar rezoning for their property. That’s not fair, Chandler told the board. “I am pointing out that, no matter how you word it, my parents asked for the same exact zoning and use as Wawa is asking for,” he also wrote in a letter to supervisors. Board Vice Chairman Shawn M. Williams (R-Broad Run) acknowledged Chandler’s feelings, saying that the experience “sounded like it was pretty horrific.” He and other supervisors, however, said they welcomed not only the first application but also more Wawa convenience stores if the company, known for its hoagies and discount gas prices, seeks to expand elsewhere in Loudoun. “We want Wawa here in the county,” Williams said. And as for the Sterling Wawa’s effect on nearby gas stations? Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) offered an old business adage. “Competition is healthy,” he said. n

ASHBURN REPUBLICAN ENTERS 33RD STATE SENATE RACE

epublican Ron Meyer is hoping to unseat first-term Democratic state Sen. Jennifer Wexton in the 33rd District. He announced his second bid for the senate seat Monday. He ran for the GOP nomination in the special election last January, but lost to John Whitbeck. The seat was open following former state Sen. Mark R. Herring’s (D) election to attorney general. Wexton defeated Whitbeck and former Del. Joe T. May, a Republican who ran as an independent in the contest. Meyer is a bit of a rising star in the GOP. At 25, he’s been featured on Fox News several times as the voice of today’s young conservatives. In 2013, he challenged Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA-11), before suspending that campaign to run for Virginia Senate. Meyer said his run for the state Senate is about giving voters an opportunity to send someone to Richmond who can be an effective voice for Northern Virginia. He said Wexton has been more focused on social issues rather than on the issues that matter to most in the district, such as how to diversify the economy and improve transportation. He wants to see more of the tax dollars Loudoun and Fairfax residents send to Richmond returned to the localities to help pay for road improvements and schools, of which he said local governments have covered more and more of the costs. Meyer moved with his wife from Herndon to Ashburn in October just after the two got married. He is the owner and president of Springboard Media Strategies, a media and digital communications firm.

OHNEISER RUNS FOR CA

A former Loudoun County School Board member will seek election in a different arena next fall. Bob Ohneiser announced last week he will seek the Democratic nomination to challenge two-term Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman, a Republican. The Ashburn resident, who served eight years on the School Board, outlined a campaign that will focus on questions surrounding use of deadly force by Loudoun law officers and would press for tighter enforcement of drunken driving laws. Campaign themes include ensuring all residents are treated equally under the law, increasing the investigative role of the CA’s office, ensuring charges address circumstances of alleged crimes, re-establishing the Drug Court and introducing a restorative justice program. As an attorney for 27 years, Ohneiser’s practice has included defense, family, partnership, fraud, contracts, entertainment and telecommunications work. He also worked as an NFL agent. He sees a move to the prosecutor’s office as a continuation of his public service. “My family made a long-term commitment to live in Loudoun and believe the delivery of justice fairly is a critical component to the quality of life,” he said. “I am focusing on policy issues that are within the domain of the prosecutor. These include accountability for police actions, plea bargaining policies, willingness to help first-time offenders redirect their energy into a more positive direction—including initiating restorative justice techniques that allow interested victims to receive some recoupment for their losses instead of merely punishing the wrongdoer—and making sure the Office of Commonwealth’s Attorney is less politically directed than it seems to be now.” n

AFTER FLAP, LEVIN’S LEGAL FOUNDATION WINS TAX EXEMPTION

he Lansdowne-based Landmark Legal Foundation, headed by conservative talk show host Mark Levin, will be exempt from local taxes after all. The organization was among 21 community nonprofits proposed for real estate and personal property tax exemptions. During a Nov. 12 public hearing on the applications, Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) asked whether the nonprofits seeking exemption actually helped Loudoun residents or were just based in the county. That angered Levin, a Loudoun resident, who later upbraided Reid on his nationally syndicated radio talk show and Landmark withdrew its application for exemption. Landmark paid $8,979.85 in real estate and personal property taxes in 2013, and $8,607.11 this year. But County Chairman Scott K. York (R-At Large) last week moved to add Landmark, which employs five people in Loudoun, back to the list of nonprofits seeking tax exemption. And supervisors supported York, voting 4-3-1-1 in favor of the action. Reid and Supervisors Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) and Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) were the dissenters, Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) abstained, and Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) was absent from last week’s meeting. The Board of Supervisors earlier this year lifted a longstanding moratorium on granting local tax exemptions, agreeing to consider applications for up to a total 2014 limit of $5.25

million. But Letourneau said last week that he was abstaining from votes on exemptions because he opposed lifting the moratorium, and Delgaudio said he would vote against all exemption requests. In addition to scrutinizing Landmark, Reid questioned the local benefits of the Ashburn-based Integrated Justice Information Systems Institute, which describes itself on its website as a “national organization that brings together industry and government in an effort to improve national security and promote effective information sharing and safeguarding across all levels of the justice, public safety and homeland security communities.” The Leesburg District supervisor said that Landmark and IJIS may be “based here, but they have a national focus,” and he called York’s action on Landmark “really unbelievable.” However, the board also approved an exemption for IJIS by a vote of 5-2-1-1, with Reid and Delgaudio opposed, Letourneau abstaining, and Higgins absent. And supervisors agreed, 5-1-1-2, to exempt 19 other organizations. Delgaudio voted against that motion, Letourneau abstained and Clarke was absent from that vote in addition to Higgins. The other nonprofits receiving exemption are: • The Arc of Loudoun, • The Archaeological Conservancy, • Between The Hills Community Association Inc., • Birthright of Loudoun County, • Boulder Crest Retreat Foundation, • Christian Service Charities Inc., • Endependence Center of Northern Virginia Inc., Continued on Page 16

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors last week voted to spend $65,500 to sponsor the 2015 World Police & Fire Games. Supervisors followed the Nov. 17 recommendation of their Economic Development Committee to help fund the games, a biennial event in which police officers, firefighters, and customs and correction officers from around the globe compete in Olympic-style sports. The 2015 Games will be held from June 26 to July 5 at venues across Northern Virginia. Fairfax County will host the majority of the competitions, but eight events are scheduled for Loudoun. About 12,000 athletes from 70 countries are expected to participate in 61 sports. Fairfax 2015, a nonprofit established to hold the games, first asked Loudoun for a $500,000 sponsorship. The idea is that, as a sponsor, the county would have the opportunity to market to folks from around the world, including perhaps business executives who might want to move their operations here. But supervisors were concerned about spending too much when they already are learn-

ing about budget needs for the next fiscal year. Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles), who chairs the Economic Development Committee, also said the county could have considered spending more had the Games been even more of a regional event and not quite so focused on Fairfax. The $65,500 figure was based on how much transit occupancy tax revenue the county is expected to generate from athletes and their families staying in area hotels. Essentially, Loudoun could almost recoup its entire sponsorship investment just from taxes, so any other benefit could be seen as a bonus. The board’s vote was 5-1-3, with Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) being the sole dissenter. Supervisors Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin), Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) and Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) were absent when the vote was taken.

BOARD OKS $24.5M REAL ESTATE PURCHASE

Loudoun County’s Board of Supervisors last week authorized a $24.5 million purchase of real estate on Miller Drive in Leesburg. The county agreed to the deal for two parcels: 748-750 Miller Drive SE and 751 Miller Drive, which combined are assessed for tax purposes at $20.4 million. Loudoun’s government has leased some of the property, but Supervisor Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) said that buying it saves $13 million or more that would have had to have been spent if the locality had followed a plan to erect a building behind the Kincaid Forest subdivision. The purchase also allows Loudoun to cancel leases in other buildings around the county, Reid said. The 176,000 square feet of space at Miller Drive is slated for general warehouse, maintenance and office uses, according to the Loudoun public affairs department. The vote was 7-1-1, with Supervisor Eugene Continued on Next Page

A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) opposed. Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) was absent from last week’s board meeting. Delgaudio said he wanted to see county facilities moved out of Leesburg to eastern Loudoun. “I voted ‘no’ on locations of these facilities in that area before,” he said. “I’m just staying consistent with my previous position.” The supervisors voted after they talked about the property acquisition in closed session.

SIX STAFFERS ADDED FOR ROAD PROJECTS

Bu s in e s s

Loudoun’s government will hire six employees to focus on transportation issues, which continue to be priority matters in the county. The Board of Supervisors voted 5-1-3 last week to add three full-time jobs in the Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure, two full-time positions in the Department of Management and Financial Services, and a lawyer in the County Attorney’s Office. The supervisors’ finance committee voted Nov. 19 to recommend adding all but the lawyer job to the county payroll. A motion to approve that position failed in a deadlocked 2-2-1 vote. At the time, Supervisors Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) and Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) were the “no” votes, with Letourneau saying that newly hired County Attorney Leo P. Rogers should be allowed to evaluate staffing needs before the board acted to expand his office. But Reid was absent when last Wednesday’s vote was held, and Rogers indicated that he could probably use another lawyer in his office anyway, so the position was added back to the motion that was approved. In addition to Reid, Supervisors Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) and Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) were absent when the vote was taken. Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) cast the sole dissenting vote.

The Board of Supervisors agreed last week to double the pay for members of Loudoun Water’s board of directors. Supervisors voted 4-2-3 to increase appointed water board members’ compensation from $4,800 per year to $9,600, and the utility chairman’s pay from $6,600 per year to $12,000. The supervisors set the pay for Loudoun Water’s board, although the money comes from the agency’s budget, not from general county funds. Supervisors Janet S. Clarke (R-Blue Ridge) and Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) voted against the measure, saying the current economic climate isn’t conducive to raises for anyone. “This is not the time to be increasing,” Clarke said. Delgaudio cited last month’s vote against granting a pay hike for the next Board of Supervisors. Pay for appointed governing bodies is not always controversial, but Loudoun Water has been under increased scrutiny lately because of the supervisors’ vote last month to build a 189-foot-tall, 1-million-gallon water storage tank on the south side of Red Hill Road and Stone School Lane. Neighbors remain unhappy with that decision. Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn), however, said it wasn’t right to lump the water tower vote in with compensation for Loudoun Water’s board. They’re separate issues, he said. Buona also criticized negative comments Clarke made about the water authority on her Facebook page. Supervisors Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin), Kenneth D. Reid (R-Leesburg) and Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) were absent when the vote was held. n

It’s A Pre-Labor Day Start For LCPS

Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

oudoun students and school employees next year will start class before Labor Day, get a two-week winter break and end the year June 14. Following the top pick of the majority of teachers who weighed in, the Loudoun County School Board voted unanimously last week to adopt “Calendar Option A” for the 2015-2016 school year. The school year will start Aug. 31 and end June 14, with a two-week winter break from Dec. 19 to Jan. 3. (Below is the full adopted calendar.)

The board considered three other calendar options: Option B with a pre-Labor Day start and a shorter winter break; Option C with a post-Labor Day start and a longer winter break; and Option D that called for a postLabor Day start and shorter winter break. The School Board received close to 2,800 emails from parents, students and school employees, and a few board members said they read every one of them. “Yes, I have no life,” Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) quipped. “Thank you to everyone who sent emails in. It was good to hear the feedback.” While more parents favored Option B—

“We want those guaranteed instruction days,” Jennifer Bergel (Catoctin) said. Loudoun schools may not get to start before Labor Day in the 2016-2017 school year, unless the so-called “Kings Dominion Law” that requires public schools to begin after the holiday is reversed by the General Assembly. Schools can get a waiver from the law if they tally enough snow days in previous years. Loudoun’s public schools just barely met the requirement for the waiver next year by averaging eight snow days over the past five years. n Go to leesburgtoday.com/education to see the full adopted calendar.

County Leaders Plan To Add Playgrounds To Elementary School Construction

Celebrating Excellence In Education

he days of Loudoun parents raising money for playgrounds may soon be over. School and county leaders gathered for the Joint School Board/ Board of Supervisors meeting last Thursday agreed that it’s time to consider including playgrounds in the construction of all future elementary schools. Loudoun County is one of only two Virginia school systems that does not provide elementary schools with playgrounds. Parentteacher organizations are left to raise money to purchase playground equipment, which means most of the schools are without a playground for the first two or three years. “Today we draw a new line and say there’s a new way of doing business,” Supervisor Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn) said. “We should consider a playground a fundamental aspect of an elementary school, just like we consider

many said because it is difficult to find child care during the long winter break—more teachers favored Option A because it would give them more time over winter break to plan for the second half of the school year. Thomas Reed (At Large), Bill Fox (Leesburg) and Hornberger initially supported Option B. “That would have the kids out of school June 10 before the heat of the summer,” Reed said. It was the pre-Labor Day start on which every board member found agreement because it gives students more days in the classroom before they take the high-stakes standardized tests in the spring.

a stadium a fundamental aspect of a high school.” Debate over whether the county’s $25 million elementary schools should come with a playground has simmered in recent years, especially as some families were left to raise money for a second or third playground as their children were reassigned schools following attendance zone boundary changes. But the conversation picked up steam in September after Panda Power Funds made a donation of almost $100,000 to help build an adaptive playground at Discovery Elementary School. Adaptive playgrounds are those specially designed for children with physical disabilities. Supervisors, who hold the purse strings for the schools, have since urged School Board members to include playgrounds as part of their capital funding requests to design and build new schools. That became a formal nudge during last week’s joint committee meeting. Continued on Next Page

Making The Grades: Concerns Raised About New LCHS Policy Danielle Nadler

dnadler@leesburgtoday.com

oudoun County High School parents have raised concerns about a grading practice they say holds their children to a higher standard than students face at other high schools in the county. Under the leadership of new principal Michelle Luttrell, the high school adopted a 100 percent summative grading practice. This means students’ homework and classwork are not factored into their final grade, according to the school’s website. Instead, “summative assessments” such as tests, quizzes and projects, make up the final grade. John Dalesandro and Dan Loper, who both have children at the Leesburg school, believe the practice puts their students at an unfair

disadvantage compared with students at other Loudoun high schools that include homework and class participation in the calculation of final grades. “I’m fine with students being graded this way, but then all the schools should do it this way,” Dalesandro said. “We were told at the beginning at the school year that County was going to start 100 percent summative grading. What they didn’t tell us was that we’re the only school that’s holding their kids to this higher standard.” He and Loper shared their concerns at a School Board meeting last month. Nereida Gonzalez-Sales, director of Loudoun’s high school instruction, acknowledged that the grading practices may be different among the county’s 14 high schools but said she could

not confirm how many calculate homework and class participation in final grades. “I couldn’t tell you right now. That conversation is beginning right now,” she said. She noted that most administrators in the Instruction and Curriculum Department’s top tier positions are new, including her, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction Terri Breeden and Superintendent Eric Williams. GonzalezSales was brought on to oversee the district’s high school instruction after serving as Sterling Middle School principal. Plus, five of the county’s high schools also have new principals this year. Gonzalez-Sales said she’s working with Breeden, Williams and all of the principals to clarify parameters and definitions around grading practices.

“We’re reviewing this now so we can make sure it’s clear to administrators, and that message transfers to teachers and then to parents,” she said. She’s received complaints from just a few parents, but she said she encourages feedback, especially as the school system continues to shape its grading guidelines under new leadership. “This is a good conversation to have, and one of my goals this year is to help move that conversation along.” Gonzalez-Sales said she’d like to get more of a consensus among the high school principals, but it’s not known whether all of the high schools will be required to adopt the same grading practice. And, she added, teachers should have some flexibility in how they assess students. n

“It’s time to do this,” Supervisor Ken Reid (R-Leesburg) said. School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said this might be an opportunity to secure public-private partnerships to help pay for the playgrounds. “Think about our playgrounds. They serve the schools but go there on a weekend and you see they serve the whole community,” he said. But Buona and Reid said they favored using county capital funds to build playgrounds. Hornberger and Jeff Morse (Dulles), who co-chairs the joint committee, asked that the Board of Supervisors pass some sort of resolution illustrating their support for funding play-

grounds because it will be “a new way of doing business.” Buona agreed to bring the matter to a vote at the supervisors’ next regular meeting in January. There are three new elementary schools that do not have playgrounds—Frederick Douglass in Leesburg, Moorefield Station in Ashburn and Cardinal Ridge in South Riding— and 35-year-old Meadowland Elementary in Sterling. The school system has money left over from construction costs of the three newer schools that can be used to purchase playground equipment for those schools, and Buona said the county could come up with money to buy Meadowland a playground, perhaps from the school system’s fund balance. n

ed Waterhouse, one of the last Loudoun County Public Schools’ old guard administrators, will retire as deputy superintendent at the end of the month. Superintendent Eric Williams made the announcement during the School Board meeting last week. “Clearly his service to the division has been extensive,” Williams said. “He has made significant contributions and he’s clearly a dedicated employee.” Waterhouse has worked for Loudoun’s public schools for 37 years, and much of his tenure has been served under the leadership of Superintendent Edgar B. Hatrick III, who retired in June. Waterhouse worked in a New York school system before moving to Loudoun in 1997 to take a position as a school psychologist. He moved through the ranks of the central office as special education supervisor (1978-1983), special education acting head (1983-1985), special education director (1985-1991), director of pupil services (1991-1997) and assistant superintendent of pupil services (1997-1999) to his current role as deputy superintendent, which he’s held since 1999. In an interview with Hatrick during one of his final days on the job, between packing and sorting boxes in his office, he described Waterhouse as one of the best hires he made in his long career. “When I became director of special education, I chose Ned Waterhouse to be the supervisor of special education and we worked together ever since,” Hatrick said, calling Waterhouse one of his closest advisors. During Tuesday’s board meeting Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) told Waterhouse, “On behalf of the board, thank you for a job

well done and thank you for blessing Loudoun County with your years of service.” Williams said the deputy superintendent position will retire along with Waterhouse, so to speak. Instead, a new position—chief of staff— will be created as of Jan. 1. The chief of staff will be a senior leadership position, but will be considered below the six assistant superintendent positions. Williams said the chief of staff would serve as a key advisor to the superintendent and other members of senior staff, “and provide effective, responsive communications, timely problem-solving and leadership related to innovative approaches in the strategic plan that we’re working to create.” The plan to which he refers is a long-term vision for the school system that will center on the question, “what should a LCPS graduate know and be able to do?” He announced that the new chief of staff would be Michael Richards, who is serving as director of data and accountability for Travis County, TX. Williams said in his current role Richards manages academic improvement initiatives and designs quality controls to promote program effectiveness and efficiency. “His experience with innovation, accountability and program assessment will be a good match for our needs,” Williams said. Richards also taught high school and college for 13 years and served in division-level leadership positions in Maryland and Texas. He holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy from the College of William and Mary, a master’s degree in American Studies from the University of Maryland and a Master’s of Fine Arts from the University of Notre Dame. He earned his doctorate in educational leadership at the University of Texas at San Antonio. His salary will be $124,095. n

or some, it was the moment the Tuscarora football team lost to North Stafford in the second round of the Virginia High School League playoffs last November. For others, it was the moment defensive coordinator Adam Fortune died suddenly in July. Still more saw the moment as the first day of practice in early August. Whatever the moment to trigger it, the entire Tuscarora squad has had one focus during the 2014 season—reach Game 15 on Dec. 13, the date of the Group 5A state championship game. The Huskies (14-0) achieved that goal last Friday when they defeated Massaponax, 41-21, to claim the 5A North Region title at Fortune Field in Leesburg. The victory

advanced Tuscarora to Saturday’s 5A state championship contest against South Region champion L.C. Bird (12-2) at 12:07 p.m. at the University of Virginia’s Scott Stadium in Charlottesville. Senior running back Noah Reimers is one of the players who had been thinking of Dec. 13 since last fall. Reimers surpassed 300 yards for the second time this season during Friday’s game when he rushed for 307 yards and four touchdowns in less than three full quarters of action against previously unbeaten Massaponax. “The day after we lost against North Stafford last year, I went home and had some self-reflection,” Reimers said. “We had a lot of people coming back and we knew what was possible. I printed out our schedule and circled three games—Broad Run, Briar Woods and the state championship.

“We had unfinished business with Broad Run and Briar Woods [Tuscarora’s only regular-season losses in 2013], and the ultimate goal was Dec. 13,” he added. “It was something we’d see everyday in the weight room and everyday in the locker room and to know that it finally happened is great. It’s one more game to make all of our dreams come true, and that is beautiful.” For players like seniors linebacker/ receiver Jordan Fisher and linebacker/running back Ishmael Williams, the moment that triggered the desire to reach this year’s state finals was July 7, the date 37-year-old Fortune suddenly died of cardiomyopathy. Fortune spent his first 10 years as a football coach at Broad Run and helped lead the Spartans to back-to-back Group AA Division 4 state championships in 2008-09. Continued on Next Page

Loudoun Girl Brightens Redskins’ Game

ovettsville Elementary School fourthgrader Michelle Chatfield provided a bright spot in Sunday’s otherwise miserable outing for those suffering through the Redskins-Rams game at FedEx Field. Michelle, after having successfully competed in several local and sectional Punt, Pass and Kick contests, ranked in the top four among competitors in Virginia, Washington, DC, and Maryland. She was invited to compete in the team competi-

tion during Sunday’s game, placing second in her age group (8-9) with a score of 152’5”. She was given a Redskins jersey, two tickets for the game and a chance to meet with Redskins players. Michelle plans to be back on the field next year. She wasn’t the only one to hold up the honors for the Lovettsville school, as PE teacher Hugh Brockway, who won a grant from the Redskins for his Play 60 program, received a check from the organization on game day. n Contributed

The honor is the latest this season for Church, who was selected as the Big Ten Defender of the Year and a MAC Hermann Trophy Award semifinalist. This season, Church oversaw a defense that allowed more than one goal just twice and posted nine clean sheets. Over her career, Church started 89 of Penn State’s 100 matches and is the program’s all-time leader in minutes played (8,243). The two-time Big Ten Defender of the Year was named to an All-Big Ten team following each of her four campaigns.

• Tuscarora senior running back Noah Reimers has been named the Virginia Gatorade Player of the Year. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Reimers has rushed for 2,911 yards and 45 touchdowns in helping lead the Huskies (14-0) to Saturday’s 5A state final. Tuscarora plays L.C. Bird (12-2) at 12:07 p.m. at the University of Virginia. Reimers, who carries a 4.28 grade point average, has committed to Harvard.

Burnett is pleased and excited that this Huskies team has reached this point. “They’ve grown up together,” Burnett said. “They are hard-working kids and they love each other. It sounds kind of corny, but when you see them together, you know that it’s real. That really translates into all of the time they put in. “When you really like the people you’re around, you’re going to spend time in the weight room, watching film and at practice,” he added. “That’s the maturity we’ve seen. They have put in an immense amount of work and this is the pinnacle.” n

Daniel Smith has completed better than 70 percent of his passes for 1,378 yards and 15 touchdowns while adding 472 yards rushing. Fisher (28 catches, 411 yards, 6 touchdowns) and sophomore Duron Norris (25 receptions, 331 yards, 3 scores) lead the Huskies’ receiving corps. Burnett—90-19 in nine seasons as a head coach—has the opportunity to become just the second football coach in Loudoun County to lead two different schools to state crowns. As an assistant, Mickey Thompson helped guide Park View to the Group AA Division 4 title in 1988 and then led Stone Bridge to the 2007 AAA Division 5 crown as head coach.

He then moved to Tuscarora with head coach Michael Burnett to start the Huskies program. As defensive coordinator, Fortune helped build the program, which has produced four playoff teams in its first five seasons. A 1995 graduate of Loudoun County High School, Fortune’s legacy with the Huskies was one of a kind. He was a caring teacher who could also be demanding as a coach, but he was a person who was loved by all that he came in touch with. Tuscarora’s stadium field was dedicated to his memory Oct. 10. “It means so much,” Fisher said of reaching the state finals. “We wanted to dedicate not only the season, but the rest of how we play and how we live for Coach Fortune. I’ve never seen us prepare so much for each opponent. So much work has gone into this year and we’re not done yet. Everything has been a step. We want to get to UVA and win that game, then celebrate.” “It’s so great to have the opportunity to go play another week with my family and brothers,” Williams said of his teammates. “We’re on center stage and we just need to get one more win for Coach Fortune.” That “one win” won’t come easy, however, as L.C. Bird is seeking its third straight state championship. The Skyhawks defeated Briar Woods, 35-28, to capture the 5A title last December after they edged Ocean Lakes, 14-10, to claim the Group AAA Division 6 crown in 2012 before reclassification. L.C. Bird advanced to Saturday’s contest with a 21-13 victory over Salem in Virginia Beach last weekend. Junior quarterback Jalen Elliott scored all three touchdowns on short runs, while senior running back Stephen Mines rushed for 155 yards. Sophomore linebacker Rayshard Ashby had 14 tackles and clinched the victory with a quarterback sack late in the game. The Skyhawks will provide a formidable

challenge for the Tuscarora defense, which is allowing just 11.2 points per game this season and has seen only six opponents score in double digits. Mines has rushed for 1,943 yards, while Elliott—in his first season at Bird after transferring from Hanover High School—has passed for 1,645 yards and 23 touchdowns while throwing just five interceptions. “We know they’re really good,” Burnett said. “We tell the kids that you don’t shy away from a challenge. We can only focus on what we can control. We believe we’ve done everything we can do. That’s all you really do in life is keep doing your best, use the gifts God gave you to the best you can. In this case, it’s really paid dividends.” The Huskies are seeking the seventh state title in the past eight years by a Loudoun team. Stone Bridge started the streak in 2007 by winning the Group AAA Division 5 title, then Broad Run claimed the AA Division 4 crown in both 2008 and 2009. Briar Woods continued the trend by winning three consecutive AA Division 4 titles from 2010-12. Reimers—who has verbally committed to play at Harvard next fall—has been the Huskies’ unquestioned team leader this season, earning Conference 14 and North Region Player of the Year honors as well as being named the Gatorade Player of the Year for Virginia. He set a school record with 377 yards rushing against Broad Run Oct. 10 and he has established school single-season records with 2,911 yards and 45 touchdowns, pushing his career total to more than 6,000 yards. “I get a lot of individual awards, and it means a lot,” Reimers said. “But this means more. A state championship means 100 times more than Gatorade Player of the Year. That’s a nice memento, but to do something as a team is so much more powerful.” Reimers, however, is not alone in leading the Tuscarora offense, which has averaged 40.5 points per game this season.

Big Bad Drama: Having Fun While Doing Good

jmercker@leesburgtoday.com

dozen years ago, a couple of moms began directing plays at Dominion Academy to help their children and their classmates gain confidence. Those children have grown up and moved on, but Mary Long and Lisa Moen have taken their act beyond the school and kept their drama company alive, helping a new group of young people have fun and give back to the community. Big Bad Drama Company, which launched

Dominion, soon got on board and began helping with behind-the-scenes and administrative elements. In 2007, the directors put on the play “Big Bad,” a comedy in which the Big Bad Wolf of fairy tale fame is put on trial for his crimes against other characters. It remains one of the directors’ favorite productions, and was the inspiration for the company’s name. As Long and Moen’s children got older, left Dominion and moved on from their mothers’ theater company, the women wanted to continue their mission of helping young people,

giving back to the community and taking things to the next level. In 2011, the company began putting on independent productions around the county. Two years later, Dominion Academy closed and was replaced with Providence Academy in the same location. Both women love working with young people and love the sense of confidence and community responsibility it gives to the student actors. “I wanted my daughter to feel good about herself and not be shy. I thought if I could do that with her I could do it with other kids,” Long said. “The whole drama thing is not about making these kids the next Academy Award winner. It’s about having the kids feel good about themselves….I want them to have a sense of giving back and have fun—and we have tons of fun.” The company includes a core group of actors, now in high school, who started out

with the troupe in their elementary school days at Dominion. But as the company’s reputation has grown, it has pulled in students from public middle and high schools, too. Students rehearse most Saturday evenings for up to five hours. For the actors, the joy of performing, the satisfaction of giving back to the community and the friendships they’ve made as part of the group make every hour worth it. “It’s a good feeling to be able to help people, make their day. It’s a great way to do that with friends,” said Nate Rexroad, an eighthgrader at Providence Academy. “We do it for

the community. We do it to give back to people. We want to help nonprofit organizations.” Performers interviewed mentioned a sense of friendship, fun and lots of laughs. There’s also clearly a lot of respect and gratitude for the two directors, who donate their time. Long is the creative force for the company, while Moen handles management, administration and lots of behind-the-scenes tasks and is known for her resourcefulness and skills with costumes and sets.

changes, which included items about a child care facility and a restaurant site. “We need to continue to encourage this type of growth,” Williams said of One Loudoun. He also noted that One Loudoun’s request was about only phasing, not building more homes. But Letourneau responded that, while the action didn’t mean more total homes, it did mean more dwellings could be built quicker. “If the phasing plan does not make sense, then why did the applicant propose the phasing plan in the first place?” he asked. Letourneau said that Loudoun’s government remains engaged in a “continued race” to get infrastructure ready to serve new homes. He said that he could have voted to provide One Loudoun more flexibility with phasing but that he couldn’t support eliminating it. Under the change, the developer will be allowed to build 100 percent of the homes approved in the 2007 rezoning and be required to complete 7 percent of the commercial development envisioned in that plan. Clarke, who also voted against the phasing change, said that she talked to two School Board members earlier in the day who didn’t know anything about One Loudoun’s request, and that they were concerned about how a faster pace of development could impact school populations. “They said it’s a problem,” Clarke said, “Big problem.” The bottom line for Clarke, though? “There’s no way I can support this,” she said. Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) didn’t say much from the dais about One Loudoun last week. But reached Monday, he also said he felt the developers could be granted the phasing change because they already were working on the project’s big ticket infrastructure item: the Rt. 7 interchange. “I really believe that’s the major hurdle” they had to pass to show their reliability, Delgaudio said, noting that phasing should be used as a tool to ensure that developers build the public facilities that they promise. n

dinner, and the group does other social activities together. “[The actors] are all so supportive and the directors are amazing, “ said Ella Rivera, an eighth-grader at J. Lupton Simpson Middle School in Leesburg. “They give you constructive criticism—they’re not screaming or yelling at you—they’re just trying to help you out. If we’re involved in other plays, they ask the group to come out and support us.” Rivera and fellow Big Bad cast member Melanie Vieyra will be performing together in Simpson’s production of Aladdin later this winter. Rivera is a natural performer who has had a longtime goal of pursuing an acting career, while Vieyra, a petite seventh grader with a pixie-like voice, said her experience with the company gave her the confidence she needed to get through the school audition. The confidence-building aspect of performing was highlighted by numerous other cast members. “Even if you mess up, you keep going. Like in life, if you mess up, you have to keep going,” Amanda Wicks, a sophomore at Woodgrove High School, said. “You need to surround yourself with people who are going to support you just like here.” The company takes its inspiration from the famous quote from the biblical Book of Acts: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” While the company has a Christian philosophy at its core, not all of its plays have Christian themes, although Moen says she and Long do seek out family-oriented material. “The Little Town of Christmas” is made up of a series of 12 vignettes, with most actors playing multiple roles. Cast favorites include a take-off on Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol” featuring favorite characters from that story in new situations; “In That Giving Spirit” the story of a scamming waitress who learns a lesson during the holidays; and “Santa’s Pop Quiz” about a girl

who grills Santa to find out if he’s real (spoiler alert: he passes with flying colors). The focus on raising funds for community organizations means the company operates on a shoestring. For now, the group’s primary means of fundraising for its own operational costs is a summer camp held every year at the Carver Center in Purcellville. The organizers charge a relatively low fee for the camp and use the proceeds to keep the company running throughout the year. Moen and Long have developed a strong relationship with the Carver Center administration, and the women also work with seniors at the center, doing separate plays every year. The directors like to have students start with a summer camp session before joining the company so that they can get a sense of each child’s interests and abilities. The actors generally move into bigger roles incrementally, Moen said, as their confidence and abilities grow. “We all start out small. When we join the company, we’re not given big parts right away. Our directors work us up and we start taking on major roles,” said Rexroad, who plays Ebenezer Scrooge, along with other roles, in this winter’s performance. “Not only do our acting skills increase and not only do we have fun, but we also get to see the smiles on peoples’ faces and how they enjoy the show.” n

Chief Operating Officer 571-333-1538 Ashburn Today welcomes Letters to the Editor.

Undone Deal

or the past three years, this Board of Supervisors has preached fiscal responsibility in its approach to land-use decisions and touted the need to generate more commercial development to help rebalance the tax-bill impacts of rapid residential development. Last week’s vote to eliminate the construction-phasing plan at One Loudoun flies in the face of that strategy. True, a case can be made that One Loudoun and its developers have provided one of the few economic bright spots while the recession sidelined most other large eastern Loudoun projects. In fact, to date it has been a model of the balance sought by planners and county leaders, with a lively commercial center filling up with new businesses at the same time the neighborhood around it was taking shape. The plan worked. The developer’s promise to build a long-delayed Rt. 7 interchange as part of the project’s second stage of construction is an extraordinary off-site capital investment. Supervisors pointed that out. However, we should remember that One Loudoun is building the Ashburn Village Road interchange because county taxpayers footed the bill to complete the Loudoun County Parkway interchange at this development’s front door. Not long before that, this crossing had a stoplight and was connected with a dirt road. Given the state of the market and the scale of commercial development already in the ground at One Loudoun, there may have been merit in supervisors renegotiating the terms of the phasing plan. They could have permitted another batch of houses to hit the ground before requiring an additional surge of commercial construction. They could have lowered the amount of retail and office space required before opening up a few more residential sections. They didn’t do that. Instead, they simply eliminated the requirement for any more commercial development on the property—any at all. That doesn’t mean that One Loudoun’s developers, who have been good corporate citizens, simply will maximize the project’s residential capacity and walk away. But they could, and that wouldn’t be a good deal for county taxpayers. Most importantly, this issue is not limited to One Loudoun. Numerous other eastern Loudoun developments—some which so far exist only on paper—are bound by similar voluntary zoning restrictions requiring the pace of their residential construction to be balanced by tax-positive commercial uses. Will these other projects be held to a higher standard? Or will they, too, be given the full residential green light? Why should county residents give these negotiated taxpayer protection plans any credence at all?

Shameful

W Dear Editor:

hen I read Tom Dukes’ disparaging drivel about the Purcellville Police Department my immediate reaction was, “What a crock.” Yes, a Purcellville Police officer did shoot and kill a knife-wielding, emotionally disturbed person. Mr. Dukes’ description of the officer as “an adrenalin-crazed rookie” is gratuitous and typical of armchair know-it-alls. Maybe Mr. Dukes is uneducated and not informed of a very real issue facing law enforcement today; it is called “suicide by cop.” Believe it or not, it is real and it happens all across the country in

big cities and even small towns like Purcellville. Police officers faced with a suicide-by-cop situation are in life-threatening situations. The Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in D.C. has too many names of officers inscribed on the wall who were killed by deranged, disturbed and suicidal subjects. Though a person aged 17 may be a child in Mr. Dukes’ eyes, many of society’s recent mass murders are “children.” Jonesboro, Columbine, Red Lake and Seattle are a few examples. Point being, a “child” can kill as easily as an adult. Typical of those who don’t want to see a cop when they are speeding or behind the wheel when they have had one too many glasses of Chardonnay, Mr. Dukes’ ilk no doubt are the first to complain when they Continued on Page 46

dial 911 and the cop isn’t knocking on the door before they hang up the phone. The actions of the Purcellville police officer were consistent with standard police training throughout Virginia and the United States. The officer was facing a disturbed knife-welding person who was threatening the officer. What would Mr. Dukes suggest officers do when facing an armed disturbed person? Run? Hide? Attempt to stop the threat and disarm the subject without using any potentially lethal force. Note to Mr. Dukes: If you truly believe this, then the average size and strength of police officers will need to be that of a NFL linebacker. Though the average police officer today is not Clark Kent, Mr. Dukes expects police officers to be Bruce Lee and Frasier Crane rolled into one. I’m sure

Mr. Dukes would have skillfully disarmed the knife-wielding subject and provided psychiatric counseling all before the next commercial. The officer in this case did his job and protected his own life as well as the citizens around the knifewelding subject. To criticize the police department for trying to help people is shameful. Mr. Dukes criticizes the department for its actions no matter what they are. I’m certain Mr. Dukes’ bust will be placed into the Arm Chair Quarterbacks Hall of Fame. This was a tragedy for the Sierra family as well as the police officer. The officer was placed in a no-win situation.
