t’s not much to look at today. Few who pass the small building on the north side of Ashburn Road likely notice it. The wooden structure, with its chipped paint and boarded-up windows, is upstaged by townhouses on one side and a strip mall with a 7-Eleven and martial arts studio on the other. But the one-room schoolhouse was once the hub for Ashburn’s black community. Now, more than two generations after the building was shuttered at the start of desegregation, a group of middle school students is working to breathe life back into it. “This is a chance to hold on to one of the last

aturday won’t be a time for lounging this week if you’re a Republican in Loudoun. That’s because the county GOP will hold its nominating convention to pick candidates for sheriff and for the Ashburn District seat on the Board of Supervisors.

The official politicking will begin at 10 a.m. that day at Stone Bridge High School. But the campaigning? That’s been going on for weeks, and, in some cases, months. And the four men in the races to be decided are hoping their efforts pay off. The sheriff’s race pits one-term incumbent Mike Chapman against Eric Noble, who retired from the Loudoun Sheriff’s Office in November

he Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced Monday that design modifications may add 13 months to the Silver Line’s Phase 2 construction

Buona said Tuesday that no constituents had contacted him about the issue, and he noted that the delays are being largely caused by the necessity of following federal stormwater regulations that weren’t in effect when Phase 2 was being proposed. “It wasn’t in the plans,” he said. However, Buona pointed out that Monday’s announcement wasn’t all bad: It doesn’t mean an increase in the levies on the Dulles Toll Road, the new work will be covered by the contingency budget and it’s in everyone’s best interest for the Silver Line to be safe and to abide by all applicable laws. n

Assembly, pointed out that Leesburg received the largest allocation of any town and that Loudoun’s allocation topped other jurisdictions on a per capita basis. He also highlighted the importance of having $345.9 million to spend on Northern Virginia projects, noting that the Commonwealth Transportation Board has only $400 million in discretionary funds to spend statewide. The money that NVTA allocates comes from additional sales, hotel and real estate grantor’s taxes collected in the authority’s member jurisdictions: Loudoun, Prince William, Fairfax and Arlington counties; the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, Manassas and Manassas Park; and the towns of Leesburg, Purcellville, Herndon, Dumfries and Vienna. All of the projects that Loudoun and Leesburg recommended for funding in NVTA’s two-year plan received it. Previous projects the authority funded include the widening of Rt. 28 in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. n

oudoun County and Leesburg will receive a total of $66.4 million to help pay for road and transit projects after a vote last week by the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority. The authority, charged with allocating regionally collected public money for transportation work, approved a $345.9 million twoyear funding list that comprises 21 highway and 16 transit projects. Two of those are within the boundaries of Leesburg, and three others are in Loudoun. The Loudoun projects are: • $31 million for Loudoun County Parkway between Rt. 50 and Creighton Road; • $19.5 million to widen Belmont Ridge Road between Truro Parish Road and Croson Lane; and • $1.9 million to purchase four Loudoun County Transit commuter buses. The Leesburg projects are:

• $13 million for the $58 million Rt. 7/Battlefield Parkway interchange; and • $1 million to help begin design of the Leesburg Bypass/Edwards Ferry Road interchange. NVTA Chairman Marty Nohe said in a prepared statement that the funding list represented the “next in a series of steps undertaken by the Authority to deliver real transportation solutions to Northern Virginia.” “As we move ahead, this two-year program will reduce congestion region-wide and ensure that Northern Virginia’s taxpayer dollars are spent wisely,” said Nohe, a Prince William County supervisor. “We are working with our partners on all fronts to advance the right projects that will make a difference in the lives of Northern Virginians.” The work approved April 23 makes up the second group of projects to receive regional funding since the state legislation providing revenue to NVTA was adopted in 2013.

schedule. According to a statement from the authority, more than 150 changes have been made to improve safety and reliability on the Metrorail extension. In addition to the delay in completion, the changes come with added costs. Those costs are within the $550 million contingency budget for Phase 2, the authority stated. The original schedules called for con-

struction of the rail line from Reston to Ashburn to be complete in 2018. “With our project partners, we are committed to limiting future design changes,” MWAA CEO Jack Potter stated. “Phase 1 is already experiencing ridership beyond expectations, and significant construction and development is under way along its path in the Dulles Corridor. We are confident that Phase 2 will experience similar success.” News of the delay didn’t seem to immediately fret Loudoun residents, at least judging from the lack of a response county Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) heard.

his is a very professional office with a top notch doctor and staff. Although there are qualified doctors closer to where I live, I have been going to Mountcastle for years because of the quality service I receive. I initially went for veins and some procedures were covered by insurance and others considered cosmetic. The doctor and staff explain everything well and with patience. Amy the RN did my veins and she was so expert that I consulted her about other procedures. She has injected Botox, and other products. The result is always fabulous – no one has ever asked if I have had anything done – just remark how great my skin looks. Amy is an artist with a needle! She has also advised me on skin care products at my request. People usually guess my age at 10 years younger. My skin looks healthy. Amy never tries to sell products, she just listens and provides options. Ren H -– yelp review

Kouame “Innocent” Tanoh, 53, of Ashburn, pleaded guilty last Friday to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft after receiving $400,000 in false tax refunds, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The investigation was started in August 2014, when the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police stopped Tanoh on a traffic violation. A search turned up several

A Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office major has added to her list of accomplishments, receiving a leadership award from the Mid-Atlantic Association of Women in Law Enforcement. Major Bev Tate, a 25-year LCSO veteran, is the first woman in the agency to achieve that rank and she also was the first female Loudoun officer to graduate from the FBI National Academy. The MAAWLE award recognizes female law officers who have distinguished themselves through integrity, ethical standards, initiative, problem solving, communication, planning and organizing, and administration. She was nominated for the award by Sgt. Linda Cerniglia, who specifically highlighted Tate’s skill in mentoring deputies. Tate is the commander of the agency’s of Administrative/Technical Services Division. “Major Tate is highly respected by her peers and has been successful in overcoming any obstacle she has faced throughout her career,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in announcing the awards. “Her ability to face any challenge has enabled her to become a true leader within the agency.” n

he two men arrested for a Jan. 27 shooting in Lansdowne were indicted by a Loudoun grand jury on a slew of charges. Javier K. Todd, 19, and Timothy R. Vaughn, 20, each were indicted on two counts of attempted murder, two counts of using a firearm during the commission of a felony, three counts of shooting at a vehicle and three counts of shooting from a vehicle so as to endanger persons. During an earlier District Court preliminary hearing, one of two victims recounted the Jan. 27 shooting, which resulted in a damaged passenger-side window, but no injuries. The victim said he picked a friend up from work between 8 and 9 p.m. and was headed to meet Todd to play pickup basketball on a snowy day. He said Todd planned to meet at a gas station at the Lansdowne Town Center but later called to say he couldn’t make it “after running into a mailbox, and too many cops were around.” The victim then drove to meet Todd at the Lansdowne clubhouse, but came upon Todd’s car parked on a side street and facing Riverside Parkway. He pulled up next to Todd, but he said Todd then drove away while shouting to meet at the clubhouse. As the victim neared the clubhouse, he noticed Todd’s car parked on another side street across from the building. This time, when the victim pulled his car next to Todd, he asked Todd why he seemed to be acting weird. That’s when Todd, whom the victim said had a “look of fear” in his eyes, reclined his seat. Then Vaughn rose from a reclined position in the passenger seat, the victim said. In his hand was a gun, he said, and five shots rang out from a few feet away into the victim’s car. The victims escaped injury and immediately drove away—to the Lansdowne Public Safety Center, where they reported the shooting. Vaughn’s case is set for a four-day jury trial beginning June 15. Todd’s case is set for a fourday jury trial starting July 13.

financial documents and fraudulent identification cards, including driver’s licenses and Social Security cards in the name of other individuals. Tanoh told officers he was a tax preparer and the documents belonged to his clients. According to court documents, from April 2008 through February 2015, Tanoh obtained individuals’ names and personal identifying information, including Social Security numbers and dates of birth, by holding himself out as being in the business of preparing tax returns, in part through Alpha and Omega Financial Services. Tanoh would then use their names and personal identifying information for several different purposes, including the preparation and filing of false and fraudulent federal and state tax returns that made false claims for tax refunds. To increase the amount of the refund requested by the fraudulent returns, Tanoh would add items to the returns, including false dependents, false businesses on the taxpayers’ Schedule C, false education expenses, and false moving expenses. In addition to filing false tax returns, Tanoh also used and lived other people’s identities, in part because he had no legal status to work or remain in the United States. Between 2009 and 2015, Tanoh used the names of eight different people to seek and obtain employment, housing, and other items of value, such as bank accounts. Tanoh faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison on the wire fraud charge and a mandatory consecutive term of two years in prison on the aggravated identity theft charge when he is sentenced July 31.

f you have an idea about what the Dulles community should look like in the future, you might want to act now, in the present. The last in a series of Dulles outreach sessions this spring will be held Thursday, April 30, at Mercer Middle School, and attending is an easy way to offer thoughts, hopes and dreams for the area that is the fastest-growing in Loudoun County. Loudoun’s government has been working since last year on a plan to gather information on how residents, businesses and community groups want to see Dulles develop, Joe Griffiths, project manager with the locality’s Department of Planning and Zoning, said last week. So county staffers have talked to homeowners associations, civic organizations, executives, seniors, even high school students, in an effort to collect as much data as possible. Ultimately, staff members will incorporate the feedback from work sessions such as Thursday’s and other research and survey results into a final report for county decision-makers. The idea is that the information collected will provide the Department of Planning and Zoning with the level of detail necessary to make rec-

ommendations that represent the wishes of the area. It’s kind of like the old-school concept of community planning meets the modern notion of crowdsourcing. What have Griffiths and colleagues learned so far? Perhaps not surprisingly, transportation is the No. 1 concern, particularly for drivers trying to travel north or south. “It’s hard to get north and south,” Griffiths said, noting that respondents said they want to see bike paths and crosswalks, as well. Affordability is another worry. The top concern of businesses is that the cost of living in the area can be too high for their employees. So-called Dulles “stakeholders” also want to see more entertainment options in the area and more retail shops. More jobs in the community is a desire, and while youngsters crave more places where they can hang out, older folk are interested in more age-restricted housing. Dulles Outreach updates and links to the project’s social media sites are at loudoun.gov/ dullescommunityoutreach. For more information, contact Joe Griffiths at 703-777-0424, or at Joseph.Griffiths@loudoun.gov. n

49 Lake Saponi D A veteran of the Drug Enforcement Administration, Chapman also speaks of what434-2 he sees as the benefits of working with counterparts from other levels of government and even across party lines to combat the scourge of heroin. This work has been praised not only by Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-VA-10), who’s endorsed Chapman’s campaign, but also by Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring and state Sen. Jennifer T. Wexton, both Democrats. Noble, however, claims that Chapman didn’t respond to heroin sales—and its effect on public health—quickly enough. And he says that the incumbent has focused too much on higher levels of the drug trade when he should be attacking the problem in Loudoun itself. The challenger said Monday that he wants to make Loudoun the “most miserable place in the world to deal drugs.” Noble’s campaign also has said that Chapman has misused county funds by requesting reimbursement for travel when he could’ve made business trips in a less expensive way: taking a county-owned vehicle instead of his personal car, for example, or driving when a plane trip could have been more economical. Even if the expenses were within the rules, Noble said Monday, they reflect bad choices from a leader. Chapman, however, saidVIRGINIA nothing with his CLASS travel reimbursements has been amiss. C O N T R A C T O R “There’s no credibility to any of those allegations,” he said. Chapman said he’s just trying to tell voters about his positive achievements while describing Noble as a disgruntled former employee throwing mud. Noble, on the other hand, describes the race as one between an incumbent who has been reactive and a challenger who wants to be pro-active in office. The back-and-forth between Chapman and Noble is scheduled to end Saturday, though, with the winner to face Democratic nominee Brian Allman. The tussle for the GOP nomination for Ashburn District supervisor perhaps hasn’t been as prominent as the fight for the sheriff’s badge, but it has gotten ugly, as well. To wit: At the end of last week, incumbent Supervisor Ralph M. Buona discovered that some of the convention delegates who have promised to vote for him have received emails that seem to have been sent with the purpose of providing an incorrect date for the political gathering. That is, one of part of the email invitation mentions “May 2” and another part identifies earlier dates, with the idea that perhaps delegates for Buona wouldn’t show up on the correct day. Buona said Monday that he can’t prove his opponent, Joe Scalione, was behind the shenanigan, but that it seems like “voter intimidation” and “voter suppression.” A Leesburg Today reader also emailed the newspaper Monday with a complaint sent to Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plowman, alleging that Buona had been mixing county resources with election work. The contentions repeated an earlier anonymous complaint that Buona’s aide, Dorri O’Brien, was working on politics when she should have been focused on governing duties. That complaint was judged to be unfounded by county officials, however, and Buona noted Monday that O’Brien even took an entire week off from her county government job so she could work on the campaign without any confusion about what she was doing when. “We’ve been squeaky clean,” Buona said. Scalione campaign manager Fred McCusker, on the other hand, said Monday that Buona was “falsely blaming us” for the emails with incorrect dates, and that his candidate wanted to concentrate only on what is best for Ashburn District residents. “I don’t care about who sent what,” he said.

But participants Saturday will be required to sign a pledge that they’re registered to vote in the Sterling District, that they are Democrats, that they have not and will not participate in the nominating process of any other party in Loudoun, and that they don’t intend to support any candidate who opposes a Democrat in the county. Loudoun County Democratic Committee Chairwoman Valerie Suzdak said Monday that she expects between 300 and 400 people to vote in the Sterling gathering, officially called an “unassembled caucus.” However, she noted, “More is always better.” —Jonathan Hunley

epublican Eugene A. Delgaudio has been elected four times to the Sterling District seat on the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors, but three of his neighbors want to make sure he can’t hold a fifth victory party. Candidates Bahri “Barry” Aliriza, Tony Barney and Koran T. Saines will duke it out Saturday afternoon in a firehouse primary for the Democratic nomination to face Delgaudio on Nov. 3. From noon to 4 p.m., voters will cast their ballots in the Teen Room at the Sterling Community Center, 120 Enterprise St. Voters in Virginia don’t register as members of a political party as they do in

McCusker also accused Buona of not being a “good steward” of taxpayer dollars, and he complained about Buona’s employer, Telos Corp., getting a county government contract to let commuters park at the business’ lot. The supervisor, though, noted that he recused himself from that vote, as he has when other votes concerned Telos. So on what do Buona and McCusker agree? The need to get their respective supporters to Stone Bridge on Saturday. McCusker said he wants his candidate to contact so many convention delegates that his telephone-dialing finger isn’t just calloused but bloody.

And Buona said that, by Saturday, he plans to have spoken to all of the 460-some people signed up to be Ashburn District delegates at the convention. “I’m burning out cellphones, I can tell you that,” he said. The winner between the campaign callers will face Democrat Mike Turner on Nov. 3. County Democrats are holding a firehouse primary Saturday to choose among three Sterling District candidates to challenge incumbent Republican Eugene Delgaudio. November’s slate of candidates for local office won’t be final until after the Electoral Board’s June 9 filing deadline. That leaves time for both parties to fill the holes in their tickets, as well as for independents to jump into the races. n

companies also choose to put down roots in the county, said Nevarez, an economic researcher for the AFL-CIO. The county could reap tax revenue from the companies, and the business’ employees could spend money at other local operations. “By localizing the production of cutting edge products that feed to and from local research institutions, we can attract more research investment while simultaneously promoting a sector with healthy export prospects that can take advantage of our world-class international airport,” the candidate added in a email on the subject. Nevarez attended technical school, and he sits on an advisory committee for the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. He has two daughters. n

PICK ONE FOR

Opi ni on

lfonso Nevarez still wants to be a Loudoun County supervisor, but this time he’s running in the Broad Run District instead of in Sterling. In 2011 the Democrat lost a three-way race in which incumbent Supervisor Eugene A. Delgaudio (R-Sterling) triumphed. And he said last year that he would challenge the Republican again. But Nevarez wanted a newer, larger home, so he moved in early March and now finds himself in the Broad Run District, where he garnered the Democratic nomination for that supervisor seat. He is set to square off against GOP nominee Ron Meyer. Incumbent Broad Run Supervisor Shawn M. Williams (R) is not seeking re-election. Williams initially sought the GOP slot in the race for county chairman, and Meyer first began a campaign for state Senate. But when Williams dropped out of the chairman contest and didn’t try to reclaim his seat, Meyer was chosen as the Republican pick in Broad Run. Meyer posted a commanding lead in campaign fundraising in the first quarter of this year, showing contributions of $33,511 to Nevarez’ $280. “That was pretty surprising to see that,” Nevarez said of his opponent’s total. But, he said last week, his low figure reflected that he announced his campaign shortly before the filing deadline for campaigns to disclose their fund-raising activities and that he initially was focused not on raising money but on ensuring he had enough voter signatures on petitions to qualify for a run. Nevarez said he “fully” expects to be competitive with Meyer in the fundraising race. The 35-year-old also said that he wants the election contest to be one of issues, not sheer politics. “The focus of this race is really going to be about what’s best for Loudoun County,” he said. Nevarez said the biggest issue in the Broad Run District race is education. He said that people have moved to Loudoun so their children can attend a good school system, but that he’s afraid the district may be “sliding back” rather than moving forward. For one thing, he said, the county should offer full-day kindergarten in all of its elementary schools. The Loudoun School Board would be the body that would make the call on whether to expand the full-day program, but Nevarez said the Board of Supervisors can encourage that decision by pledging to budget enough money to pay for the expansion. Another priority for Nevarez in the campaign is transportation. He said Loudoun needs to facilitate programs that help get cars off the road as well as to make sure that roads that feed traffic to future Metrorail stations are sufficient to move traffic. And the candidate said he’s concerned that job creation in Loudoun isn’t keeping up with population growth. For example, the county’s success in attracting data centers is good, he said, but “we’re not seeing that broader economic impact.” Encouraging more biomedical and technology firms to locate here could help the economy if the vendors who do business with those

WMATA APPROVES LOUDOUN METRO STATION NAMES

“A

shburn” and “Loudoun Gateway” will be the names of the Metrorail stations at Rt. 772 and Rt. 606. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s board of directors April 23 approved those names, which the county Board of Supervisors endorsed last month. “Ashburn” had been a favorite for the 772 station for months, and “Loudoun Gateway” was the winner among three finalists for the 606 station moniker. The name of the third Silver Line station in Loudoun, at Dulles Airport, will be, perhaps obviously, “Washington Dulles International Airport.” The Silver Line is due to arrive in Loudoun in 2019, a year later than expected, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority announced Monday. Design modifications have caused the delay, according to the airports authority, which is constructing the project for WMATA.

COUNTY DOG TAGS AVAILABLE ONLINE

Loudoun residents can now pay for their dog licenses online, the county’s Department of Animal Services announced last week. Licenses are available for one-, two- or threeyear periods, provided that a dog’s rabies certificate is valid for the same period of time. The cost is $10 per dog. Animal Services hopes the new online system will result in an increase in the number of licensed dogs in the county as well as provide an easier and more user-friendly experience for residents. Virginia mandates that Loudoun require all dogs 4 months old and older to be licensed. In the county, dog licenses are issued concurrently with the rabies vaccination effective period for each dog.

Failure to obtain a license is a Class 4 misdemeanor, which can carry up to a $250 fine. But there are many other reasons to buy a license: • A license identifies a dog as owned and not as a stray. Animal Control officers who find a dog running loose but wearing a collar and tag will attempt to bring the pet home instead of to the animal shelter. • Licenses are required for pooches visiting a local dog park. • License fees support Animal Services programs, including care and housing for about 3,000 stray and abandoned animals a year, investigations of animal neglect and cruelty, emergency animal rescue and response services, adoption of homeless pets to new families, and community education and outreach. • Dog licensing programs ensure rabies is controlled. The only way to prevent your dog from contracting the virus is to maintain current vaccinations. Keeping vaccinations and licenses current could save your dog’s life. For more about the dog licensing process and to purchase a license, see loudoun.gov/ doglicense. The Department of Animal Services is at 39820 Charles Town Pike, Waterford, VA 20197. For more information, call 703-777-0406, or see loudoun.gov/animals.

ith members of several Loudoun nonprofit organizations crowded inside the Shoe’s Cup & Cork coffee house in Leesburg on April 22, 100WomenStrong Founder and President Karen Schaufeld delivered a message of gratitude for the work they do to help area residents. “Whether you know it or not, you wake up in the morning, and you’re thinking about how to change the world and how to make it better,” Schaufeld said. “Your passion and the work you do inspires us.” Schaufeld leads the group of 32 women and two men whose goal is to improve the quality of life for Loudoun residents who are less fortunate. This year, they awarded 10 grants totaling more than $113,000. Many of the organizations directly help families and children who don’t have the same opportunities as others—providing food, support services, clothing, health care, or child advocacy. “I think this area is lucky to have this organization because there are so many cutbacks in funding for all of these issues,” Del. Kathleen Murphy (D-34) said. “Schools are getting less money, and programs to feed kids free lunches are getting less money, so when you have an organization like this that is ready to step up and meet real needs, then it’s a special thing.” The Shoe’s lounge area was packed with those who strive to aid others, including members of Loudoun Volunteer Caregivers who help senior citizens and disabled adults to maintain their quality of life. Women Giving Back, which has distributed clothing to women and children in need since 2007, was a grant recipient, as well. Grants also were awarded to Inmed Partnerships, the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter, Dulles South Food Pantry, All Ages Read Together, HealthWorks, SCAN of Northern Virginia, Liberty’s Promise, and Loudoun Therapeutic Riding. Schaufeld said it was hard to narrow the list of 25 applications. “The question is: Are we providing something in a way that’s going to keep on giving? Is it strategic? Does it build their ability to do their job better?” Schaufeld said. “I think our grants do that in one form or another.” She encouraged the representatives of all the nonprofits in attendance to be “audacious and bold” while taking risks. “Anyone who works to change the community knows we have problems that don’t seem to get better. Take risks and try to make it better,” she said during a speech. 100WomenStrong also has its own community service projects, such as the Backpack Coalition. A year and a half ago, the organization issued a challenge to the community to match $100,000 in funding to feed children who need food on the weekends. 100WomenStrong ultimately has put $150,000 toward the goal of ensuring that no Loudoun children go hungry. Schaufeld said the program has helped serve 30 percent of the children, up from 6 percent last year. “In the span of a year, that’s a big jump. The outreach and outpouring is amazing,” she said. Schaufeld said the key push going forward is to promote collaboration among for-profit, nonprofit and government entities to achieve community goals. “Not just creating a Band-Aid, but how do you actually bring together the three sectors of the economy to solve the problem,” Schaufeld said.

Loudoun School Leaders Called To The Stand In FOIA Case Danielle Nadler

dozen Loudoun County school administrators and School Board Chairman Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) spent four hours in Loudoun County Circuit Court last week in a case brought against the school system by a parent who says they are concealing information that should be public. Brian Davison filed a writ of mandamus alleging School Board members and school system administrators violated the Virginia Freedom of Information Act by failing to respond adequately to numerous requests for information dating back to September. Davison has filed 53 FOIA requests in that time, 24 of which were filed in one hour, according to school system Public Information Officer Wayde Byard.

old pieces of Ashburn,” said Russell Sparks, an eighth-grader at Loudoun School for the Gifted and one of the students who’s helping to restore the building. Loudoun School for the Gifted, formerly known as Ideal Schools, is purchasing the land on which the schoolhouse sits and another three acres next to it. The plan is to turn the property into a “center for learning,” with a state-of-theart school building with room for 120 middle and high school students on one end and the 123-year-old schoolhouse restored as a “living museum” of the history of education on the other. “I live in Ashburn, and I’ve been driving by this for 10 years, thinking, what is that thing,” Deep Sran, founder and academic lead at Loudoun School for the Gifted, said. “So we asked. What we found is a schoolhouse that’s really survived despite itself.”

A School Almost Lost

Harry Saville, now a retired farmer and small businessman, bought land on Ashburn Road in 1970. It came with a two-story home, 1.6 wooded acres and, on its northern edge, that old schoolhouse. It had been 12 years since the school was boarded up and its students sent to Frederick Douglass Elementary School in Leesburg, and

His requests dealt with topics ranging from the salaries of all school system employees to all emails—more than 3,000—that refer to Student Growth Percentiles, which measure student improvement across grade levels. Davison, representing himself, specifically names 15 top school system employees, as well as all nine School Board members, in his case. In court April 23, Hornberger, Superintendent Eric Williams, Chief of Staff Michael Richards, Director of Personnel Asia Jones, Director of Technology Systems Aaron Smith and Byard were called to testify. From the stand, Byard said he has spent eight to 10 hours a week responding to Davison’s requests for information. “I’ve spent a lot of time and energy on this… To the best of my knowledge we’ve provided the complete information.” Davison challenged Byard on the amount he charged him to fulfill his requests, some of which were estimated to cost more than $1,000

to produce. Judge Jeanette Irby later asked Davison whether he had paid Loudoun County Public Schools for any of his FOIA requests. “No,” he answered. “That’s all I need to know,” Irby responded. The school system does not typically run reports to collect emails or other requested documents until payment is received. Interactions between Davison and the judge and between Davison and school system attorney Julia B. Judkins got heated as the afternoon wore on. At one point, Irby referred to Davison’s argument as a “conspiracy theory.” When he asked her what she meant, she replied, “You’re stating that they were all conspiring to not provide you information.” After he interrupted her and Judkins on several occasions, Irby told Davison, “You’re so rude sometimes.” Davison later accused Judkins of “intentionally wasting time” when she searched for

documents he’d shared with her that he wanted to enter as evidence. While questioning witnesses, Davison repeatedly tried to enter Web pages and documents as evidence that he said proved that SGP was an important tool to measure teacher and school success. Each time, Judkins objected, stating that those arguments should be saved for Davison’s case in Richmond City Circuit Court, where he is suing to gain access to that information. “This is turning into a circus,” Judkins said. Irby sustained all but a few of Judkins’ objections. The judge was scheduled to deliver a ruling Wednesday, April 29. Davison took the Virginia Department of Education to court last fall to make public Loudoun County SGP data by school and teacher. Loudoun’s School Board joined the case last month as an intervener. It is ongoing. n

the years had begun to take its toll on the building. But each time Harry’s wife, Emaleen, passed the structure, she saw potential. She daydreamed about one day fixing it up, to preserve part of Ashburn’s history while much of the community around it was transformed from farmland to tract homes. “She loved it. It made her think of her school growing up,” Harry Saville said. “She always wanted to restore it, but I just didn’t want to borrow money to do it.” Emaleen Saville attended a one-room school in West Virginia. After she died four years ago at the age of 79, her husband thought that any chance of restoring the schoolhouse had gone with her, until he received a handwritten letter from Sran four months ago. The schoolhouse wasn’t for sale. But Loudoun School for the Gifted was looking to purchase a lot next to it to construct its future school building, so Sran inquired about that shoddy little building just over the property line. A barber who works across the street told him it once served as a school for Ashburn’s AfricanAmerican children. “I didn’t really believe him because it looked like a shed to me,” Sran said. “It blew me away ... and I knew our whole project really depended on restoring [the old schoolhouse] and having it be a part of that narrative.” Harry Saville thought he’d one day sell the land, but assumed it would be developed and the oldest school building in Ashburn lost.

“I’m very happy to have someone to restore it,” he said, noting that he’ll be able to watch the process from a rocking chair on his porch. “It would thrill my wife to death if she was still living.” The LSG eighth-grade students have had a chance to get to know Saville; part of their assignment is to interview the current owners of the two newly purchased properties and those who once attended the old school. (See “Memories” sidebar, Page 1.) The students said hearing the memories and stories that were created on that little piece of property has made the exercise much more than a class project. It’s become their personal mission. They want to preserve a part of history for those who called the school their own for so many years, and for those in Ashburn who’ve had unexplainable ties to the building, such as Emaleen Saville. “She had a dream to have the school restored,” eighth-grader Chase Talbott said. “I feel like it’s almost an obligation now for us to restore it. That’s what we’re thinking about as we work on this.”

hosts class tours to give students a glimpse of a typical 19th century school day. They also researched how other one-room schoolhouses are used, and focused on using the Ashburn school to provide something that wasn’t already offered. They settled on an idea for a museum on the history of education, and on the role of African-American schools in that larger story. “There’s nothing like this anywhere else,” Sran said. “I think this is a real opportunity for the kids to explore an area that has been neglected in a lot of ways.” Not many of Loudoun’s newer residents know that the county was one of the last school systems in the United States to integrate its schools, he added. It wasn’t until a federal court ordered school officials in 1967—13 years after Brown v. Board of Education—to combine schools that they finally gave in to desegregation. Chasya Egbue, an eighth-grader who’s overseeing the effort to raise the $100,000 needed for the restoration project, said she wants the museum to be a place that anybody can enjoy and visit to reflect on the past. “People of our generation can go and see that this is how people used to go to school, so they know how fortunate they are now, and older audiences can look back and remember that time of their life,” she said. It will take at least 18 months of fundraising and construction before the museum is open to the public. Meanwhile, LGS’ students also are

Burson, who moved to Ashburn in 2003, said it was his love for the community’s historic foundation that inspired him to start the renovation project after he saw so much of that erased in that part of the county. “If I have anything to do with that, we’re going to make sure that that authenticity is retained,” he said. “We want to have something that’s unique, that’s authentic and that will be here 100 years from now.” Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn), who’s met and worked with Deep Sran on the schoolhouse’s restoration and with Burson on his plans, said it’s worth holding on to what’s left of old Ashburn. “To me, it’s the heart of Ashburn,” Buona said. “If you ask the question, ‘What’s Ashburn’s identity?’ it’s a little hard to answer. But I think it’s important for us to preserve as much of old Ashburn as possible because it really is our identity.” — Danielle Nadler

he Ashburn school restoration project comes as others in the community have renewed efforts to preserve old Ashburn from new development. Last year, a group of Ashburn residents successfully established the Ashburn Historic District and had the 28-acre area added to the Virginia Landmarks Register. Ashburn businessman and history buff Tom Burson, who helped lead the effort to get the historic designation, has purchased four of the community’s oldest buildings just down the road from the schoolhouse. His plans to rehabilitate and convert the buildings to modern use include restoring the old general store and Masonic Lodge, which dates back to the late 19th century, and opening it as a coffee shop or bistro. Long-term plans include building condominiums that are designed to pay tribute to the rural heritage of the old village.

Carter’s ability to tackle and play the ball in space should interest zone defenses, but a transition to safety might make sense if he can carry a bit more weight. Draft projection: Second-to-third round 2. SportsIllustrated.com There has not been nearly as much buzz around Carter, but he might surpass several of the other top-10 cornerbacks come draft time. He’s that solid a prospect—not flashy or overwhelmingly athletic, but solid. More to the point, Carter already has shown he is willing and able to step up against the run, playing with a physical edge that translates to his pass defense. While the ex-Cardinal may not be an immediate CB1 in the NFL, he can serve as a steady contributor out of the blocks. Draft projection: Third round 3.

ithin a few hours after his wife Tammie died July 19 following a long bout with Type 1 diabetes, Briar Woods head football coach Charlie Pierce heard from Alex Carter. Pierce was not surprised by this. Carter could relate to Pierce’s heartbreak. His 14-year-old sister, Cameron, died of diabetes during his senior year at Briar Woods in February 2012. Carter knew the pain all too well, and Tammie Pierce had helped Carter’s family deal with Cameron’s death by relating her own fight with the disease. But beyond his personal connection to losing a loved one to diabetes, Carter wanted nothing more than to check on Pierce and express his condolences. Carter’s gesture typified their close relationship, one that went beyond player and coach. Pierce viewed Carter as a son, and here was another example why. “I tell my daughter Paige that when she gets married, I hope she gets married to someone like Alex,” Pierce said. When the three-day, seven-round NFL draft begins Thursday, Carter will no doubt hear his name called, more than likely Friday when the second and third rounds are held. The Stanford University star is in this position for a number of reasons, including: Genes. Carter is the son of Tom Carter, the Redskins’ 1993 first-round pick out of Notre Dame. The 6-foot, 196-pound Alex Carter, who plays the same position as his dad, has good size,

durability and cover skills. And work ethic. Carter did whatever his coaches asked, especially at Briar Woods, where during his three-year varsity career he was a multi-purpose threat on offense and special teams and the Falcons’ shutdown corner on defense. He became an all-American and the program’s first major Division I player while also helping them win its first two Group AA, Division 4 state titles before heading to Stanford, where he started three years. But perhaps the most impressive part of Carter’s makeup is this intangible characteristic. He’s what coaches describe as a “character guy,” a mature, level-headed, humble player who produces results without flash or bravado. “He had the whole package,” Pierce recalled when Carter decided to sign with Stanford. “He was a true student-athlete. He was intelligent and had the pedigree to allow him to be successful. Some kids have it and don’t harness it. He’s one who harnessed it.” Pierce first met Carter when Carter was 8 and attending a banquet with his father. Pierce needed a seat and happened to find one next to the Carters. Pierce knew Tom Carter, a Dominion High School teacher at the time, but nothing about Alex. That would soon change. Pierce followed Carter in the Loudoun County youth leagues, but almost did not get the chance to coach him in high school. The young player began his prep career as a freshman at DeMatha, but the long commute to the Maryland school grew tiresome. In October 2008, Carter enrolled at Briar Woods, his base school in Ashburn. It was too late to play football that season, but Carter came out the

next year and became a fixture in the lineup. Given Carter’s versatility, Pierce installed a package he still uses today that took advantage of Carter’s skill set. The look resembled a Wildcat formation that got him the ball in certain situations. He might only receive between two to 10 touches a game, but Carter kept opponents on their toes any time he touched the ball. He finished his senior season with 1,497 all-purpose yards, averaging 99.8 per game, and scored 11 touchdowns off two kickoff returns, three receptions, five rushes and one interception. Pierce’s favorite memory of Carter stems from a regional firstround game Nov. 19, 2010, against Liberty University. Carter broke a scoreless slugfest early in the fourth quarter after catching a bubble screen from freshman quarterback Trace McSorley. Carter bounced off a tackler that was pushed into him by a teammate, reversed field and headed toward the end zone. He defied one more obstacle after another tackler tore off Carter’s hand-warming bag around his waist. Carter spun around before completing the 65-yard run in the game’s only touchdown of a 7-0 win. “That play was unbelievable,” Pierce said. When Carter returned home during spring break this year, he worked out at Briar Woods’ gym with former teammates. But one day in the weight room, Carter, upon the request of Pierce, took a moment to speak to Briar Woods’ current members. The Falcons had come off an 8-4 season, a down year by Briar Woods’ standards after four straight trips to the state finals, and Pierce wanted Carter and others to encourage the players to keep their heads up and maintain the tradition of success. For 10 minutes, Carter extolled the virtues of playing high school football, especially at Briar Woods, which has become a hotbed for Division I talent and a perennial state power. Carter emphasized the importance of never quitting and viewing this time of their lives with joy. Since Briar Woods opened in 2005 and Pierce became the school’s first head football coach, the program has sent 50 boys on to play college football at all levels. Among them are 18 who received full or partial Division I or 1-AA scholarships since 2010. But of all the talent the Falcons have produced over the years, none was bigger than Carter. And not just for the numbers he accumulated or for all the honors he achieved. But for the example he set in reaching those heights. “He’s a foundation guy,” Pierce said. “He’s not a prima donna. He was a hard worker and never took off a practice.” n

needs and regulations change, our businesses need to be equipped to quickly identify the right partners, build relationships, and team to secure contracts. Their first event will be held on May 12th as part of Loudoun Small Business Week and will feature John Peterson, of Raytheon Corporation, Kevin Knight, CEO of Knight Solutions, and Christy Jackiewicz, GSA’s National Outreach Program Manager. “We see this event and everything we do in the future as fulfilling our vision of creating a network of government contractors in a way that other businesses in Loudoun are networked.” said Howard.

Family Meal’s Bryan Voltaggio

Courtesy of Bryan Voltaggio

Frederick-based celebrity chef Bryan Voltaggio opened his first Northern Virginia Family Meal restaurant at Ashburn’s One Loudoun earlier this year. Jan Mercker

jmercker@leesburgtoday.com

elebrity chef Bryan Voltaggio is on a mission to bring relaxed, chef-driven cuisine to the DC suburbs and beyond. Voltaggio and his business partner Hilda Staples opened three Family Meal restaurants within a four-month period in late 2014 and early 2015, with the One Loudoun location in Ashburn opening between locations in Baltimore and Richmond. Voltaggio, a Frederick native, opened his fine dining restaurant Volt in Frederick, MD, in 2008, just before appearing on the sixth season of the popular Bravo cooking show “Top Chef.” He lives in Frederick with his wife and three young children. Voltaggio talked with Leesburg Today about going from one restaurant to nine in a few years, his new cookbook, how to keep from messing up a great steak and satisfying grown ups’ cravings for a really good grilled cheese. Ashburn Today: Tell me about the Family Meal concept and how it came about. Bryan Voltaggio: When we opened the restaurant [in Frederick], we started thinking really hard about the concept and what it should be. One thing we started realizing is that in Frederick and a lot of suburbs, there are not a lot of options for a chef-driven concept that has more of a fast-casual feel, a place where you can bring your family and have really great food, really great service and great cocktails and feel like you’re getting value for your dollar…We found that having this restaurant be a part of the community in Frederick is key because we also have young families.…We felt like this was a good opportunity to try something different. It certainly has caught on in Frederick, and we’re now in four locations with more on the horizon. AT: What made Loudoun in general and Ash-

burn in particular the right spot for your first Northern Virginia location? BV: Obviously it’s a very fast growing community.…Of course, there are a lot of great restaurants in Leesburg, but in that particular area, there weren’t a lot of offerings. There are more restaurants to come soon because the community is growing, but what we felt like Family Meal could provide is an experience in a residential area that doesn’t typically have chef-driven restaurants. We felt like there’s a community that wanted an authentic restaurant that has a commitment to quality and service and ingredients chosen. AT: What has the response been like so far? BV: It’s been great. We had to open up on a shorter amount of service—when we started out we were open five days [a week]. One of the great things [about Loudoun] is that there aren’t a lot of restaurants, but it also means that recruiting became a little more difficult as far as staff is concerned because there aren’t a lot of people in the restaurant industry living in the area quite yet. It’s not like you’re in the middle of the city where there’s already a culture of restaurant and hospitality people. But that’s building—so we’re now finally open for a full seven days a week. We haven’t opened for breakfast yet, which we’re planning on doing in May. Fullservice breakfast is part of our concept. So it’s a gradual opening, but the response from clientele has been very good. We’re really happy with where we’re going, and we’re glad we’re part of the community. AT: It’s interesting that after becoming nationally known you came back to your hometown. BV: Actually, I started there. I opened Volt seven months before I went on “Top Chef.” I always knew that I was going to come home to Frederick and open a restaurant.…I came back and opened [Volt] in 2008 in July, and in April or May, I left to go on the show. When the show first came out, and the whole Season 6 thing was going on, I

talked about that a lot. A lot of people think I came back to my hometown and opened a restaurant. I actually left my restaurant after I worked my entire life to open it and abandoned it for six weeks to go on the show. It was prob- Bryan Voltaggio’s Family ably the hardest Meal Restaurant in decision I ever Ashburn is now open made, but I had seven days a week. a really good team there, and Courtesy of Family Meal the person who was running it, my chef de cuisine, is still with me to this day. It obviously worked out very well. AT: What about Frederick made you want to come back? BV: I was working in New York for almost seven years for Charlie Palmer at Aureole, and I opened up Charlie Palmer Steak in DC, and was there for five years from 2003 to 2008 when I opened Volt. My wife and I are both from Frederick, and her entire family still lives there. We wanted to start a family, and we wanted to be in a place where we felt like we could raise children and be comfortable and have support because I’m always working. Frederick just seemed like the place where we could do this. Also, I noticed when I was in DC that there were a lot of people coming down from your area, from Frederick, from Bethesda into DC. I said OK, you’re coming all the way down here, obviously if you had something closer, that would make sense. That was kind of the driving force: [diners] want more, they’re coming all the way into the city for this, why not put it in their backyard.…[In 2007] I was trying to open up my own restaurant in Frederick in a commercial space in Carroll Creek, but I ended up pushing that aside because our first child was born, and I didn’t want to risk doing a startup and an opening with a new child on the way, so I ended up staying with Charlie for another year. The week I brought my son home, I got a

call from my current business partner. She cold-called me and said, “Hey, I’ve got this building I want you to come look at.” It’s an 1890s brownstone mansion that was built by the daughters of some bankers. It’s a beautiful building in the heart of Frederick.…Now we’ve opened nine restaurants together in total with more on the way. AT: Tell me about your staff in Ashburn and your chef de cuisine there. BV: The chef de cuisine is Justin Zawoysky. He started with me when he was 18 years old. He was my first employee at Volt besides my chef de cuisine. He’s from Middletown, MD, didn’t go to culinary school—he kind of grew up in my kitchen and became a sous chef two and a half years ago at Volt. He’s helped me on pretty much every single project I’ve ever opened. He’s been a part of both of my cookbooks, “VOLT ink.” and “Home” for recipe testing, etc. This is his first chef de cuisine position, but he’s grown up within my company, our style and what we do and certainly has been a part of Volt and shaping things Continued on Page 29

AT: How do you divide your time? You probably don’t have a typical day. BV: It’s always changing, especially with nine restaurants now, and the fact that little things occur that need me to go to the restaurant, whether it’s a promotional thing or certain clients.…A lot of it is dictated by the needs and wants of the restaurants. For me, the hardest decision is where to cook every day because I want to be a part of everybody’s experience. Chefs are pretty much control freaks. It’s our nature and it’s what we do, and any chef will tell you the same. Going from one restaurant to nine in a short period of time, it’s a learning process for me. I try to be as many places as I can, but I also realize I need to be effective when I’m there. I try to divide my time evenly and spend equal time in the restaurants over the course of a month. Now that the openings are done, I’m spending a little more time back at Volt. We opened three restaurants in 120 days, and it was a lot of time up and down the road. But I have a corporate chef now, Graeme Ritchie, who was on “Top Chef Masters” with me and is my chef de cuisine at Volt. He’s my culinary director, and I have a corporate pastry chef, Chris Ford…so between the three of us on culinary, we divide our time between the restaurants and are there for menu implementation and changes and staff training.

L o udo un Ne ws

and the things we’ve done. He’s extremely talented. He’s still got a lot to learn but he’s doing a great job. It’s good to see somebody who’s grown from within. A lot of the people who are working for me now have come through Volt, and now we’re to the point where we’re certainly about growing from within the culture and [having staff] work with us for a long time and then go out there and open restaurants. Right now, we’re cultivating our next generation in hopes to have opportunities to expand.

AT: Is what you do at Family Meal inspired by what you might do for your own family? BV: Certainly the kids’ menu—we call it the happy campers’ menu—is a very approachable menu, of course. That’s the goal. There are chicken tenders and french fries, but it’s white meat chicken breast that’s hormone-free, antibiotic-free and we bread and fry our own in the restaurants fresh. There’s spaghetti and meatballs, there’s grilled cheese and fries. We don’t try to make adult food for kids because if we did, we wouldn’t appeal to them, but we try to do recognizable food using really great ingredients. We’re not using your typical American cheese slices. We’re using really great products, really great bread, and our fries are fried and blanched in-house using really great potatoes, and we serve [kids’ meals] with a salad and applesauce that we make in-house, so you get a really complete meal in hopes that the kids will gravitate toward eating the greens and the applesauce. It’s important to us that the meal we give to the children is just as good if not better. The funny thing is, when we opened in Baltimore, we had adults ordering it. They wanted grilled cheese, and there’s nothing wrong with it. I was like, why are so many kids’ plates going out, and I looked behind me and it was a business lunch crowd. It’s kind of a testament to what we’re offering—it’s a delicious, really well prepared plate of food. AT: Do you have any tips for home cooks? BV: I actually just came out with a new book, so there are a lot of tips in there for that. It’s called “Home” and was just published, April 7. In the introduction, I talk about not how to use this book but how to use your kitchen and how to get re-engaged. There’s a lot in there. One is, if you’re going to be cooking on a regular basis,

do away with your measuring cups and spoons and get yourself a digital scale because you can scale up and down so much easier using grams. We cook in metric versus standard weights because we get better and more accurate results. There are other things, too: having an oven thermometer because if you get a really great recipe and you want to bake that cake, and your temperature’s off by 20 degrees in your oven, and you don’t know it, it’s really not going to do you justice, and you’re going to get mad at the person who wrote the recipe. Another thing is to get a probe thermometer that has an alarm setting for once it reaches temperature and a heat-proof cord that goes into the oven. I have a really great steak recipe in the book, it’s called Steak Dinner and it’s a double-boned ribeye chop that I pre-salt so it dries out and let it sit overnight uncovered in the refrigerator. The refrigerator is actually a cooking tool. It starts to marinate the meat and also dries the surface out, so when you go into a hot cast-iron pan, you don’t flame up. You brown it on each side, then set the probe at 127-128 degrees, which is going to get you a nice medium rare once it settles and rests. You place it into a 250 degree oven and once it goes off, it’s done and you have a perfectly cooked steak versus one where you’re sitting there touching, feeling and trying to guess what it is. If you’re going to spend that kind of money on a double-boned ribeye chop, don’t go into the kitchen and ruin it when there’s tools out there that costs a third the amount of the steak. You can be really successful in the kitchen by using that.…I’m trying to teach people that there are ways that we use in a professional kitchen to make sure that what we do in the restaurant is consistent and this is how we do it. It’s not any hidden secrets.… It’s important that you’re going into it with a chance to win. We’re so busy in our lives; we don’t have time to mess it up. n

nies decide their cost on the number of rooms to be cleaned, the type of work and frequency of cleaning. Think about what it’s worth to you to have someone else do the work for you. The next step is to make a list of potential cleaning services to hire. The best way to get started is to ask your friends, neighbors and coworkers for cleaning services they recommend. Then gather information about each of the services. Make sure the company is licensed and insured. This is important if the employees will be in your home while you are away. Also find how long the company has been in business. Ask what types of cleaners they use, especially if you or your family members have allergies. Also ask what supplies, if any, you need to have on hand. Also ask about contracts for the service. Do you need to sign up for a year’s worth of service or can it be something shorter? Find out what the company’s procedures are if you are unhappy with the work being performed. And ask about what type of training the company provides for the employees. Also ask about the background checks, if any, the company performs on their employees and find out if the same person will come each week. Find out about the prices for the services you want. Does the company charge an hourly rate or do they charge a rate for the job? Pay attention to the quality of the contact that you experienced with the companies. Were they polite on the phone? Did they raise questions that you hadn’t thought of? Did they provide you with some alternatives? With the information that you’ve collected during your interviews, one or more companies will rise to the top. Remember, too, if you want your expectations met it’s important that you communicate them to the company.

Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA). ACCA members have access to the latest technical information regarding HVAC systems. ACCA members are up to date on the newest development in equipment, technology and design producers. • Look for a contractor who is licensed and complies with all state and local codes and carries the proper business and workers’ compensation insurance. • Look for a contractor who has years of experience and is recognized in your community as the expert in the field of heating and cooling. These points are very important and will ensure that your contractor has the skill and knowledge to not only service your equipment, but if necessary, to design and install the right system for you. In addition, look for a contractor that is a certified dealer of known brands of HVAC equipment. This ensures the consumer that the contractor has received the highest level of factory training on various heating and cooling equipment. The reality is, it’s best to establish a relationship with heating and air conditioning contractor well before you have an emergency because you won’t have the time to verify the contractor’s credentials and determine if the contractor is a quality contractor.

Opinion

LT/AT Combo

As we approach the busiest time of year for needing an A/C contractor it’s important for consumers to understand the credentials that they must look for in choosing a HVAC contractor. One of the common mistakes consumers make when hiring a Heating and Air Conditioning Contractor is hiring based solely on price. Hiring an A/C company based solely on price cannot only be dangerous, but also it is typically the bait that is used to get inside your home, where unnecessary repairs will be found to increase the price. A popular TV show recently conducted and undercover investigative report about ripoff A/C companies and exposing the competency and honesty of A/C companies. So, how do you determine whether a heating and cooling contractor is the right contractor since you won’t find any contractors claiming that they are not legit and qualified for the job? Relying solely on customers’ reviews is a dodgy affair as they can be made up or even purchased. So what do you really need to look for in a contractor? What to look for when hiring a heating & cooling contractor: • Look for a contractor that uses NATE Certified Technicians. North American Technician Excellence (NATE) is the top certification program for certifying technicians. Using a contractor that employs NATE-certified technicians ensures peace-of-mind that the technician has the skill and knowledge to get the job done right the first time. • Look for a contractor who is a member of

To make ends meet these days, many times you’ll find both husband and wife working outside the home. And after coming home from a hard day’s work, who wants to spend time cleaning the house and doing other chores? Sometimes it takes all the energy we have just to make dinner. Even if there’s time to do the daily chores, such as washing dishes, doing laundry and making beds, there comes a time when the house needs a more thorough cleaning. If we don’t have the time or energy to do it ourselves, it’s okay to look outside the home for some help. But how do you choose a cleaning service? The first step is to think about and write down what house cleaning chores you want done in your home by a professional service. Perhaps there are some things you enjoy doing and others you put off until there’s a crisis situation. If you have children, maybe you have things you expect them to do, such as making their beds, and then there are other chores that are just too big for you to do, such as giving the carpets a good, deep cleaning or cleaning the upholstery. Also, there might be some things that you want done infrequently or on a rotating basis, such as cleaning out the kitchen cupboards or the refrigerator. Also think about what rooms you want someone to clean. Will you include all the bedrooms and bathrooms? Kitchen, living room and study? Basement? Also, decide how often you want someone to clean the rooms. Might you want someone every day? Once a week? Once each month? (It’s difficult to keep a home clean with only a monthly cleaning.) And is there a specific day of the week that you want someone to come to your home? Then figure out your budget. Most compa-

John “Jack” M. Leary, 60, of Lovettsville, Virginia, died Saturday, April 25, 2015, in Burlington, Connecticut. Jack was born October 23, 1954 in New York, NY, son of the late Daniel A. Leary and Elisabeth (Mullen) Leary; he grew up in Connecticut and spent much of his adult life in Litchfield. He received a BA in Political Science from Georgetown University, Washington DC, in 1976. Jack began his career in 1976 with Motorlease Corporation, his family’s fleet management company in Farmington, CT. He served the company for nearly forty years in various capacities, excelling in customer service and sales. He became President in 1988, and held that position until his death. He was a member of the Board of American Automotive Leasing Association (ALAA) from 1994-2015. He developed many strong friendships over the years with his colleagues and his clients, and will be remembered for his leadership, intelligence, and great sense of humor. He married Sara Miller in 2012, and found happiness in his new family life with Sara and her children, Megan and Jason Smallwood, in Lovettsville, and the vacation home they recently purchased in Paradise Island, Bahamas. As a young man, Jack was a talented and accomplished equestrian, competing at the national level in the sport of Combined Training. Later he lent his expertise as an official, and served the United Sates Eventing Association (USEA) in many capacities, including Chair of the Licensed Officials Committee, as well as the Federation Equestre Internationale (FEI), judging equestrian competitions across the US and internationally. In addition to equestrian, he had a fondness for bull mastiffs and especially his beloved dog “Freddy.” Jack was an avid historian and maintained an extensive library, with a particular interest in and vast knowledge about the American Civil War, Winston Churchill, and Margaret Thatcher. He enjoyed all sports, but especially was a lifelong fan of the New York Yankees, and his fondest memories included the many trips he took to Yankee Stadium over the years with his dad. Jack travelled extensively, and particularly enjoyed Singapore and the Bahamas. In addition to his wife and her children, he will be missed and lovingly remembered by his brother and sisters, Dan and Anne Leary III and of East Aurora, NY; Beth and Mike Kandrysawtz of Canton; and Pam Leary and Bob Neal of Burlington; as well as his nieces and nephews Dan IV, Meg, Nora, Conor, Kathy, Eliza, Peter, Julie, Caitlin, James, Jack, Samantha, Caroline and Elisabeth.

Building On Ashburn’s Past

t is not often enough that a historic preservation project is undertaken by a private company without arm-twisting by the government or support from its coffers. But that is what is happening in Ashburn. Work by the Loudoun School For The Gifted to save the

village’s long-abandoned one-room schoolhouse for black students during segregation follows the efforts led by builder Tom Burson to preserve some of the community’s farm and railroad-era commer-

cial buildings. So far, the only request made to the government to help was Burson’s effort to establish a historic district. While state leaders recognized the value of the village’s assets, the district was blocked from the National Register because of other landowners’ opposition. However, just as the establishment of a historic district doesn’t mandate preservation of structures, the lack of one doesn’t prevent it. If the current Ashburn plans come to fruition, these buildings won’t just be fixed-up shells for passersby to view—bringing memories of the Harper House and the truss bridge at Keep Loudoun Beautiful Park. They once again will become integral parts of the community, having more in common with Bruce Brownell’s Market Station complex in Leesburg or the Waterford Foundation’s Second Street in Waterford than with those abandoned preservation efforts. The projects are especially important in a community engulfed by thousands of modern homes that supplanted the cow pastures and cornfields that made Ashburn an important agricultural hub. That development also has penetrated the village core in recent years, with small shopping centers popping up between the centuryold commercial buildings. The stark contrast between new and old is readily seen in a drive down Ashburn Road, and it is illustrative of just how quickly the village can be converted into another Anytown, USA. That doesn’t have to happen, and thanks to the work of a thoughtful few it just might not.

LETTERS to the editor Critical Improvement

A Dear Editor:

s a coalition representing the vast majority of businesses and employees in Northern Virginia’s private-sector workforce, we would like to express our support for the Interstate 66 Outside the Beltway improvement project. In order for our region to remain economically competitive, it is critical that we develop a 21stcentury transportation-infrastructure system. Improvements to Interstate 66 are central to the development of that transportation network. Developing a state-of-the-art transportation network complements ongoing efforts to attract new businesses to Virginia to grow and diversify our economy.

Online POLL

As Northern Virginia businesses continue to see a reduction in federal spending, these efforts are especially important to the long-term success of our region. To remain economically competitive, we must continue to be aggressive in attracting investment, building new infrastructure and strengthening our workforce. Gov. McAuliffe’s July 2014 announcement of a multimodal I-66 outside the Beltway with new express and conventional lanes and expanded transit options was applauded by the Northern Virginia business community. It means real relief to the thousands of commuters and businesses that suffer daily in I-66 congestion. With the Silver Line and the I-95 and I-495 Express Lanes open for business, it is now time to turn our focus to reducing congestion and improving travel times in this critical east-west connector.

Dear Editor: So many Afro-American young men are discouraged, lose interest in school, lack support from their own churches, drift to the street, gangs, crime and prison and, above all, have no opportunities to even know or lead to a normal life. Although we in Loudoun County have not had many such problems, what we see in other communities is enough for me to cry for my beloved country. People are people and our country is made up of a melting pot of civilization. Humanity in our country should be colorblind. We keep fighting the Civil War every day when it comes to those innocent youngsters who are being kept out of the mainstream. The growing discontent is mounting and our state and national political leaders have to get down to the fact that we have to provide resources to help develop this population in the form of trade schools, National Youth Administration, WPA, military service, Civilian Conservation Corps—in other words let’s call it the New Deal. Provide programs that allow them a stipend to jingle some of their earned money in their pockets and start to build a new order of citizens for the future who will eventually be the majority of our population in these United States.

C l as si fi e d

The Interstate 66 project presents a unique opportunity to attract private investment to Virginia. Properly structured, a public-private partnership will enable the commonwealth to leverage its scarce state and federal transportation resources in the I-66 corridor on other important projects, to improve the entire transportation network. By utilizing a public private partnership, the commonwealth can also transfer a substantial amount of the risk associated with the project to the private partner. The transfer of risk is an important benefit to the taxpayer, because it preserves Virginia’s finite debt capacity and protects the commonwealth from any financial losses associated with the project. Perhaps one of the greatest benefits of developing I-66 as a public-private partnership is the ability to harness private-sector innovation to develop a project that minimizes the impact to communities along the I-66 corridor. As we saw with I-495, VDOT’s first proposed plan required taking more than 300 homes and a cost in excess of $3.6 billion. Through a public-private partnership, the private sector constructed the project at a fixed cost of $2 billion and only took eight homes. In short, we strongly believe that upgrading I-66 with new express and conventional lanes and transit options as part of the properly structured public private partnership is essential to our region remaining economically competitive long into the 21st century.

If they do, they are confronted by a dearth of available public or private hospital beds. Those incarcerated face difficulties in gaining access to psychiatrists and mental health treatment services at the Loudoun County Detention Center. There is a significant need for greater training for emergency service personnel, including police and sheriff’s deputies in dealing with people suffering from mental illness. There is a need for drug courts to direct drug offenders into treatment rather than imprisonment and a police record. These are just a few of the challenges we face in addressing the needs of a significant segment of the population in Virginia and Loudoun County. One can hope that a greater public understanding of mental health issues will emerge out of Mental Health Awareness Month. n

need and the growth of Virginia’s population, so that total per capita spending has actually fallen to about $69. In Loudoun County, funding for mental health services under the current Board of Supervisors has remained level at around $32 million from FY12 to FY14 while the county’s population has grown significantly. On a per capita basis that is an average of $94 (in noninflation adjusted dollars). From FY15 to FY16, funding has remained essentially flat. As a result, due to population growth, funding has fallen to $90 per capita. The challenges facing Virginia and Loudoun County in providing mental health services to a growing population are many and significant. For example, the public stigma of mental illness makes it difficult for people suffering from symptoms to take action and seek help.

Bu s in e s s

ay is Mental Health Awareness Month, an appropriate time to focus attention on an area of public health that is too often hidden in the shadows or avoided because of the stigma attached to mental illness. Too many families in Virginia and Loudoun County are struggling with mental illness, which has fallen like a dark night in their lives and on their loved ones. In Virginia 1.1 to 1.5 million adults suffer from mental illness of which about 240,000 to 300,000 are estimated to have serious mental illness. This condition reverberates throughout the community and is manifest in the statistics in many areas of social pathology, such as substance abuse, prison populations, and suicides. For example, almost 250,000 adults in Virginia, who are substance abusers, are also suffering with mental illness disorders. Drugs are being used to self-medicate. Many of these individuals have become involved in the criminal justice system. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, about 74 percent of the inmates of state prisons in the United States who are serving time for drug abuse offenses also suffer from symptoms of mental illness. In Virginia there are more than 30,000 people serving time in our state prisons at an average cost of about $25,500 per inmate, of which about 22,000 are also suffering from mental illness. The cost of incarceration is significant, more than $500 million annually. Suicide is another area where mental illness, such as depression and bipolar disorder, plays a significant role. The National Institute

of Mental Health estimates that nine out of 10 people who die by suicide have a treatable mental illness. In Virginia, suicide is the 11th cause of death among Virginia residents and the third leading cause of death among 10-24 year-olds, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness. According to the Office of Virginia’s Chief Medical Examiner, the incidence of suicide in Virginia is greater than homicide. In 2012, for example, for every homicide committed, there were three suicides. Tragically, child suicides are a part of the picture in Virginia. Between 2006 and 2013, 202 children committed suicide, the majority of whom were between the ages of 15 and 17. Moreover, in Loudoun County the death rate from suicide in 2013 (9.2 per 100,000 population) substantially exceeded the rate of traffic deaths (3.7 per 100,000). Between 2006 and 2013, a total of 204 people committed suicide in the county. Despite these statistics, public resources devoted to mental illness have not kept up with the growing challenge to public health represented by mental illness. According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, Virginia’s mental health system provides services to only 19 percent of adults who live with serious mental illness. Adequate funding for mental health services is only one of the major challenges to the system of mental health care in Virginia. Until recently, the General Assembly of Virginia consistently reduced funding from FY09 to FY12. In 2010, per capita spending for mental health was only $75-$105 (in noninflation adjusted dollars). In recent years, from FY14-FY16, they have given modest increases to mental hearth funding. However, such increases have not kept pace with the
