School Board Eyes Changes to Making the Grade(s) BY NORMAN K. STYER
burg Utilities Director Amy Wyks during the Sept. 30 Town Council meeting, the Town of Leesburg has provided sewer service to Graydon Manor since 1963 at a rate of 765 gallons per day. Now, the town is concerned about increasing that service. If Gregory’s plans work out, he’ll need about 300 gallons of sewer flow per co-housing unit each day—which would come out to about 71,700 daily gallons, not including what’s needed for a brewery or winery. Aside from noting that the town’s existing 56-year-old terracotta pipe might need an upgrade if the town were to increase sewer service on the property, Wyks pointed out that Graydon is located in the county’s Rural Policy Area—an area that the county’s comprehensive
Grades of zero for missing assignments could be eliminated—along with opportunities for extra credit and grading homework—as part of a comprehensive rewrite of school division grading policies under review by the School Board that could be in place by the next school year. The proposed changes are the result of a year-long effort to streamline and standardize grading policies with the guidance of a consultant and input from focus groups of teachers, parents and college recruiters. Eric Hornbaker (Ashburn) said the overarching goal was to ensure students have the best opportunity to master their lesson material. “We’re trying to get students to learn. That is the key,” he said. During a review of the proposal last week, Hornberger highlighted three of changes that have gotten attention. Rules to prohibit issuing grades on homework assignments are designed to recognize that the work is intended as an extension of the classroom lesson, rather than a test of proficiency. Prohibiting teachers for recording grades below 50 percent is designed to keep students striving to succeed, noting that the practices of assigning a low grade—such as a 0 or 10 or 25—to missing work can form an insurmountable obstacle to passing a class. Hornberger said issuing a 0 is defeating for students and does not encourage a “growth mindset.” And, the elimination of extra credit? He said that is because it is currently used to provide “score recovery” or to encourage a behavior unrelated to demonstrating the mastery of assignments. “That goes back to the philosophy of what grading and assessment is. If we are measuring a student’s learning, then extra credit really doesn’t do that,” said Ashley F. Ellis, the assistant superintendent for Instruction.

Dave Gregory, principal of the Zeeland NV property company, and Cody Francis, Zeeland’s engineer, talk about their company’s plans to construct a cohousing village on the 131-acre Graydon Manor property overlooking the Town of Leesburg.
Graydon Manor Owner Battles Leesburg, County Over Co-Housing Village Plans BY PATRICK SZABO In January 2006, Dave Gregory moved to Loudoun County after years of doing business in the area. After a decade of passing by Graydon Manor on his way to and from work each day, he decided to purchase the 131-acre property with plans to build a co-housing village—following nearly six decades of the property operating as a group home for epileptic children. Now more than three years later, Gregory is finding out that it will take more money than he originally bargained for and hundreds of hours of discussions and litigation to make those plans a realty, if that’s even possible at all. Gregory, the principal of the Zeeland NV property company, plans to build 239 co-housing units on the western portion of the property, which sits
west of the Town of Leesburg and east of the Shenstone Farm neighborhood. His plans include 73 units to be housed in their own individual, 2,780-squarefoot single-unit buildings; 160 units in 40 4,320-square-foot buildings; and six units in two 3,240-square-foot buildings. Alongside that community, Gregory plans to build a brewery across three buildings, including in the 11,000-square-foot, century-old mansion house, and a winery that would feature a farm-to-table restaurant.
Additional Sewer Service Questionable To bring those plans to life, Gregory will need water and sewer service on the property. While Gregory said than an aquifer on the property would provide it with more than enough water, sewer service is a whole other discussion. According to a presentation by Lees-

Ryan Alam waits with the Potomac Falls High School Panthers to be announced ahead of the team’s homecoming game Friday. Sept. 28.
Sterling Teen with Rare Disease Takes the Field for Potomac Falls Panthers BY RENSS GREENE Ryan Alam has an extremely rare neurodegenerative disease that has him wheelchair bound. But that did not stop him taking the field Friday night for the Potomac Falls High School Panthers during their homecoming game. Ryan, 15, donned the #1 jersey and joined the team as an honorary captain for the coin toss at center field before the Panthers’ game against the Riverside High School Rams. He has a rare disease called neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation, or NBIA. Of the different types of NBIA, he has mitochondrial-membrane protein-associated neurodegeneration, or MPAN. According to Children’s National Hospital, since 2001,

Ryan Alam waits for the coin toss on the sidelines with the Potomac Falls High School Panthers at their homecoming game Friday, Sept. 28.
there have been about 500 known cases of NBIA in the world. Fewer than 100 of those have been MPAN. It is a disease that leads to an inability to walk, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, an inability to swallow, problems with vision, and other problems, and there is no known cure today. Because it is so rare, there is little money for research. Ryan was only recently diagnosed. His family noticed his gait had changed late in elementary school, but after years of doctors, physical therapy, aqua therapy, occupational therapy, and private trainers, his condition was a mystery until the iron accumulation showed up on an MRI. But despite being diagnosed with
The election contests for directors of the county’s Soil and Water Conservation District typically are not controversial. In fact, rarely do they draw much public attention at all. This year’s race, however, has sparked a hostile—and racially tinged—battle between two candidates endorsed by the Loudoun County Democratic Committee. The two—incumbent John Flannery and first-time candidate Michelle C. Thomas—are among six candidate running for three seats on the board, which works with federal,
state, and local authorities and the private sector to promote educational and technical programs in the field of natural resources conservation, provide advice on the handling of conservation issues, and administer other specific programs. A war of words between the two became public weeks ago when Flannery wrote about Thomas’ candidacy on his personal Facebook page. In the Sept. 17 posting, Flannery wrote that he had “reluctantly come to the conclusion that [Thomas] is unsuited to public office.” His post urged both the LCDC and Thomas’ supporters to recon-

Supervisors Craft New Shooting Safety Rule BY RENSS GREENE The Board of Supervisors’ Transportation and Land Use Committee has written—although not recommended—a new ordinance regulating private shooting ranges after a series of incidents in which bullets stuck neighboring properties, homes, and in the most recent case, grazed a woman. Committee Chairman Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin), who has opposed additional gun use regulations during previous rounds of debate, proposed bringing reckless shooting charges against suspected offenders, even when a conviction is not likely. Higgins suggested such action would serve as punishment for defendants because of the high costs of fighting a court case. “I have been an advocate for charging people with this statute in every one of these cases, for the reason that even if you go to court and you get off, the expense of getting off will be substantial and is a—would be a pretty good reminder or penalty to most people that this was not the right thing to do,” Higgins said. “And so, I know in the one case the individual was charged, the individual was not convicted, but there was substantial cost and inconvenience involved in that particular situation.” The committee has been working for months to come up with new rules to address the rash of shooting incidents in Loudoun. In all but two of those
Higgins
incidents, nobody has been charged— including an incident in late 2018 in which rounds from fully automatic weapon fire struck homes in Willowsford. In a previous case, charges were brought but thrown out. In the most recent incident on Sept. 7, in which a bullet grazed a woman, a charge has been filed. William R. Hymes III, 24, of Ashburn, was charged with reckless discharge of a firearm and faces a hearing Oct. 15. “The issue fundamentally is that a lot of folks say we have laws on the books that could have already been potentially enforced,” said Supervisor Ron A. Meyer Jr. (R-Broad Run). “They haven’t been, but we think that there’s an obvious reason for that.” Commonwealth’s Attorney Jim Plow-
man and Sheriff Michael Chapman have argued in previous cases that without a way to definitively establish which person at a private shooting range fired the shots, they cannot bring charges. Meyer proposed new language for county ordinances that would state: “It shall be unlawful for any person to discharge a firearm without a backstop or method of containment that will adequately contain the projectile to the property upon which it was discharged.” It is similar to language already on the books in Harnett County, NC. He also asked the county staff to present information on the distance from the target shooting to the damaged property and the acreage of the property with the shooting range in all the shooting incidents during this board’s term, which began in January 2016. He argued that would give investigators and prosecutors a new tool to charge offenders when bullets leave a private shooting range and strike elsewhere. “Before this, if somebody was shooting in a group of target shooters, and the sheriff ’s department and prosecutors couldn’t pin down necessarily who of the individuals was the shooter when the bullet left the property and hit a house, this will enable them to charge all of those people who are not shooting with a proper way to capture the bullets,” Meyer said. “So this will actually take a realistic step forward toward mit-
igating the problems that we’re seeing, and will be a further deterrent from future accidents where people’s lives and property could be damaged.” However, Higgins and Deputy County Administrator Charles Yudd said the language may or may not give investigators the power to charge someone when there are multiple shooters involved, since it does not tie back directly to that situation. Sheriff ’s Office Major Christopher Hines said, “every situation is different.” “The reckless discharge of firearms is happening way too often in Loudoun County, and we’ve now seen the first individual wounded by a neighbor’s reckless shooting,” said Supervisor Kristen C. Umstattd (D-Leesburg). “And I’m afraid it will get worse than that unless the board takes action to hold the folks who are doing this reckless shooting accountable.” Although the draft ordinance language will go to the full Board of Supervisors for consideration, it will go without a recommendation from the committee, which took no stance. Committee members voted 3-0-2 to forward that ordinance and research to the full board, with County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) and Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) absent. Supervisors are expected to discuss it at their meeting Nov. 7. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Supervisors Award $56.7M for New Courthouse Construction BY RENSS GREENE County supervisors last week awarded $56.7 million in contracts to build the new District Court complex in Leesburg. The new 92,000-square-foot, three-story courthouse will stand on the site of the former county jail near the fork where Edwards Ferry Road joins Market Street. It will be connected to the existing courthouse by an underground passage. It is not the first visible product of the multi-year, multi-part courthouse project. The newly opened Pennington parking garage is part of the same project, and renovations to the current
courthouse and existing parking lots also are planned. Costello Construction of Maryland Inc. will build the courthouse for an estimated $54,043,140, beating out the next closest bidder by only $71,180. McDonough Bolyard Peck Inc. will oversee construction for an estimated $2,666,260, including providing a project manager, a civil and facilities construction manager, construction inspectors, and building envelop and security commissioning specialists. Construction is expected to begin in the fall and take two and a half years to complete. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Transportation sharing services like Lime are rapidly expanding in urban areas across the county. If that trend comes to Leesburg, the Town Council wants to be ready with regulations.
Leesburg Prepares for Scooter, Bike, Skateboard Share Services in Town BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ More transportation options could be coming to Leesburg. Following a national trend that is seeing many urban localities offer bikes, scooters, and even skateboard rentals, the Town Council last week initiated a Town Code amendment that could allow the same offering to Leesburg residents and visitors. It’s a regular sight nowadays to see bikes and scooters gathered alongside city streets, with city dwellers and visitors using a cell phone app to pay to rent and unlock them for use. Recently, the City of Charlottesville partnered
with a California-based company to offer app-based electric scooters and bikes for rent, and it’s a phenomenon playing out in many Virginia localities. According to a town staff report, absent any action from the Town Council, these types of vehicles may be offered for hire within Leesburg without restriction beginning Jan. 1, thanks to action by the General Assembly in March. However, the legislation allows the Town Council to pass regulations for such vehicles prior to the Jan. 1 implementation date. The staff report notes that Virginia Beach is evaluating the use of franchise license agreements, while Charlottes-

ville’s pilot program has a permitting process. Vice Mayor Marty Martinez introduced the code initiation Tuesday night, and said he was tipped off on preparing for the new law during a recent Virginia Municipal League General Laws Committee meeting. “I want to make sure the town is prepared regulatorily for those businesses moving west,” he said. The code initiation passed unanimously. It will come back before the council for a public hearing and final vote. krodriguez@loudounnow.com
North Star School Wins Town Council Approval BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ The Leesburg Town Council has given the green light to a special exception request that will transform the former C.S. Monroe Technology Center campus. By unanimous consent Sept. 24, the council approved plans for The North Star School, which will become the new home of Loudoun County Public Schools’ Alternative Education Program, currently housed at the Douglass School. North Star will also provide daytime and evening adult education programming. The 10-acre site at the intersection of Catoctin Circle and Childrens Center Road was the home of Monroe Tech for 40 years before it moved to the Academies of Loudoun campus last fall. According to a staff report, school district administrators are proposing to demolish the 1977 Monroe Tech building and construct a two-story, almost 95,000-square-foot building that could accommodate 570 students. Special exception approval was needed for the project because of a 2003
During National Customer Service Week, Town of Leesburg employees will be collecting non-perishable food items from Friday, Oct. 4, through Friday, Oct. 11. Donations may be made in the lobby at Town Hall or at Ida Lee Park Recreation Center. Requested food items include dry beans, whole grain pasta, rice, cereal, mac and cheese, canned meats, peanut butter, hearty soups, and oils. Donations will be delivered to Loudoun Hunger Relief, which serves 8,000 Loudoun County residents a year. Almost half of that number live in Leesburg. Last year, the town staff donated more than 600 pounds of food to the nonprofit. For more information regarding the collection, call 703-7772420.
Leesburg’s newest piece of public art will be celebrated at the town’s skate park on Saturday. An unveiling of the new skate park sculpture is scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 5, at the Eric Brown Skate Plaza in Catoctin Park, located at 141 Catoctin Circle SE. The artist behind the project is world-renowned sculptor Jeffrey Hall, who most recently created the Stanley Caulkins bronze sculpture displayed on South King Street. The 13-foot-high sculpture is a muted orange color to match the skate park’s concrete and depicts an inline skater, a BMX biker, and skateboarders doing various tricks in blue and black silhouettes, according to information provided by Hall. The sculpture was commissioned by Friends of Leesburg Public Art.

Zoning Ordinance change that required special review for schools in a residential zoning district. The property’s prior use as a school does not supersede that requirement. Addressing a concern voiced by the majority of speakers during Tuesday’s public hearing, Sara Howard-O’Brien, land management supervisor for LCPS, said school planning staff planned parking based on the “worst-case scenario.” Full enrollment at the school is not anticipated initially, and she noted that the majority of current students that attend the Alternative Education Program at Douglass use bus transportation, rather than driving themselves. The new school site will include 367 parking spaces and there are 15 spaces
on the street. Wild Turkey Way resident Jeffrey Vangilder questioned whether students would use the parking spaces on site, or be tempted instead to park on the neighborhood streets. He said there had previously been problems with onstreet parking, as well as litter, when C.S. Monroe was still in operation. “We have plenty of spaces built into this particular school site but the flaw in the logic is I’m not sure [students] … are going to utilize those spaces. They may seek spaces that are free and unsupervised that just might happen to be in my neighborhood,” he said. Bob Picarello, who lives across the NORTHSTAR>> 9

It used to be morning to afternoon classes, then done. Now we’re adding evening classes and tripling the size of the enrollment of the school,” he said. But council members said they trust the school system to be a good neighbor and address any concerns that arise. They also chose not to support a Planning Commission recommendation to waive parking fees for students at the school, with commissioners opining that perhaps that would negate any issues with students instead parking on street to avoid paying the fees. Council members instead said

they did not feel comfortable dictating programmatic changes to the School Board in regards to parking fees. “It’s well within both Loudoun County Public Schools and the Town of Leesburg to create conditions by which the students must adhere and which also serves to protect our neighborhoods. I think the town will work as hard as we can to protect the neighborhoods and work with the county,” said Councilman Neil Steinberg. Councilman Ron Campbell said he would like to address the potential installation of residential parking permits in the neighborhood of the new school at a future meeting. Howard-O’Brien said the school system anticipates the new school will be open for the 2020-21 school year, and hopes to begin demolition on the site shortly to meet the tight construction timeline.

School Leaders Find Support to Move Beyond Standardized Testing BY NORMAN K. STYER Loudoun school leaders got an early jump on their General Assembly lobbying efforts last Friday morning, sitting down with members of the county’s delegation to lay out their top legislative priorities. The roundtable discussion focused on securing state money needed to implement mandated programs, support for a comprehensive study to restructure education funding in Virginia, authority to replace standardized tests with performance-based assessments, moving election dates to be less intrusive on school operations, and allowing school division properties that are not schools—including the central administration building—to be designated as gun-free zones. With the exception of the weapon restriction request, which was questioned by Del. Dave LaRock (R-33), the School Board got positive feedback on its requests, including accolades for starting the conversation in September this year rather than the meeting in December just weeks before the assembly convenes. While the earlier session might give lawmakers a head start on their work, it isn’t clear which ones will be working in Richmond next year; all 140 assembly seats are up for election in November. Also sitting at the tables were stu-

dent representatives from the county’s high schools, who were invited to share their experiences and concerns with the state legislators. They particularly threw their support to a proposal to replace the standardized Standards of Learning test with assessments that better demonstrate students’ understanding of the material. Several students said the multiple-choice SOLs hinder classmates who aren’t good test takers and disrupt the classroom flow as teachers set aside
days to help pupils cram for the test questions. The School Board is seeking authority to develop its own performance assessment program to replace some SOL tests, including elementary and middle school science, Virginia studies, and civics and economics. Superintendent Eric Williams said students would be given tasks that would require them to demonstrate a deeper understanding of the content and would provide a more rigorous as-
sessment of a student’s knowledge than the standardized tests. Students supported the concept. “I memorize stuff for the test. After the test, half of that knowledge is gone,” said Rock Ridge student representative Jacob Conway. “I feel that with project-based learning I’m actually beginning to understand and really think about the project at hand rather than just memorizing facts.” “By opening up to project-based learning and project-based assessments, it really rewards those who put in the studying time and who master the content at a deeper level rather than just memorize date and who test well,” said Park View’s Matthew Chesnutt. “This is a very good idea and it absolutely could be a model for the state. … We should try to work really hard to get this through,” said Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31). She said the performance assessment approach would better mesh “your emphasis on project-based learning in Loudoun and the wonderful way you’ve been looking at the whole student and trying to come up with a much more comprehensive and accurate assessment of progress. I’d like to see that taken statewide.” Favola suggested administrators reach out to state education associations and business leaders to help lobby for the program. nstyer@loudounnow.com

Instead of allowing opportunities for extra credit, students who score below a B on major assignments will be encouraged to improve their grades through a reassessment. In those cases, teachers will be required to provide additional guidance and then allow a doover in hopes of increasing their score up to a cap of 80 percent. “Reassessments encourage a growth mindset in students and allows them to demonstrate mastery,” the policy reads. “The student will be given the higher grade between the original assessment and the reassessment up to an 80%. Teachers, in consultation with the student support teams and parents, will provide students who demonstrate a pattern of repeated reassessments with an appropriate intervention, including limiting future opportunities for reassessment.” It’s not clear that teachers are on board with the changes, with one cautioning the School Board during last week’s meeting that a lot of extra work may be required to usher students through the reassessment process. While consistence in grading would be welcome, regimentation may not be beneficial, she said. A vote on the change is planned at the School Board’s next meeting. nstyer@loudounnow.com

Following months of increasingly intense criticism claiming that the school district was doing little to combat racism and ensure the equitable treatment of minority students and after weeks of work by a special ad-hoc committee to dive deeply into those concerns, the School Board last week adopted a resolution that provides much higher performance expectations. The policy statement was crafted by the ad-hoc Committee on Equity during its past two meetings after receiving a consultant report that found a “hostile learning environment” where students faced no consequences for hateful actions. In the resolution, the “Loudoun County School Board and its division superintendent publicly declare the condemnation of White supremacy, hate speech, hate crimes, and other hate-based acts of violence, and any instances of hate, discrimination, and violence based on race, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, appearance, and socio-economic status.” Other elements state the administration’s commitment to ensuring the division is “respectful and culturally responsive” when teaching all students and interacting with families, providing training to mitigate the impact of implicit bias and racism, eliminating opportunity gaps, building a more diverse workforce, and to creating a safe and supportive environment for every student, family, and staff member. The School Board’s debate on the res-
olution centered on a suggestion by Tom Marshall (Leesburg) to change the “condemnation of White supremacy” to the “condemnation of the ideology of white supremacy.” While some members said that change would make the intent clearer, Brenda Sheridan (Sterling), who chairs the Equity Committee, and Chris Croll (Catoctin), who also serves on the ad-hoc panel, said members of that committee were very deliberate in the construction of the policy’s wording, which should not be altered. The resolution was approved unanimously, with Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) absent. Debbie Rose (Algonkian) said that, while she was now more aware of the challenges facing some student and teachers, she also was concerned that the school system was being painted in an overly negative light. “I got a lot of feedback from some people who were very upset with the assessment and they felt … this statement was saying that somehow LPCS is filled with racists and it’s filled with systemic racism. That is not what the assessment said. The assessment actually listed a great many programs and initiatives that LCPS has undertaken to address inequities in our school system,” she said. “But the assessment is important in that it highlights … we have to do something and that it is important say this now and to say that these kind of behaviors will not be tolerated. I’m glad to be supporting this. Our schools are filled with a great many wonderful educators, teachers, programs [and] opportunities.”

Her specialties include treating whiplash, scoliosis, herniated discs, and prenatal chiropractic care. Dr. Miok has made caring for people through comprehensive chiropractic care a life-long study. She graduated magna cum laude from the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, and has since attended numerous trainings and seminars to build out her practice and create a holistic wellness clinic for her patients.

Dr. Miok is also a certified yoga instructor and frequently incorporates yoga poses and breathing methods
(Pranayama) into her treatments for long-term spine health and flexibility. She appreciates the relaxing, meditative qualities that yoga can bring to the treatment of pain and rebalancing the body and the mind.

[ PUBLIC SAFETY ] 5 Arrested, Charged in Sterling Gang Assault The Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office has arrested five Sterling residents in connection with a gang-related assault that happened in Sterling last week. According to the report, two victims reported they were sitting in a vehicle on Williamsburg Road at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 19 when several people approached them, pulled them out of the vehicle, and assaulted them. The victims sustained injuries described as minor. Investigators found that some of the suspects were known to the victims and the assault involved two rival gangs. Loudoun deputies worked in with the Northern Virginia Gang Task Force to identify and locate the five suspects involved in the assault. Christian Carias-Chavez, 20, Joana J. Recinos-Rivas, 18, Gustavo A. Velasquez-Soto, 20, and Angel A. Velasquez Orellana, 18, each were charged with two counts of assault by mob and two counts of gang participation. A fifth suspect, Carlos V. Lopez-Navarro, 19, was charged with two counts of assault by mob, two counts of gang participation, and providing false identification to law enforcement. The suspects were held without bond at the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center. Preliminary hearings have been scheduled for November in Loudoun County District Court.
Cocaine Concealed in Hammock Seized at Dulles U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers at Dulles Airport on Sept. 26 discovered cocaine concealed in parcels that a Honduran courier was delivering to an address in Maryland. Roving CBP officers selected the courier and his baggage for a secondary examination. During that inspection, officers noticed discrepancies in four wooden support posts of two hammocks. An X-ray detected anomalies in each of the posts. Officers pried one open and discovered numerous small bags of co-

County leaders held a ceremonial groundbreaking at the site of the future new Lucketts Fire and Rescue Station #10 on Sept. 25. The new $10.5 million, 18,000-square-foot facility will replace the current Lucketts Volunteer Fire and Rescue Station next door, which County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) said has stood since 1969. Its crews are the first due at emergencies in a 40-squaremile area around Lucketts that is among the largest response zones in the county. They are responsible for an area reaching from the Point of Rocks Bridge to Whites Ferry Road, and from the banks of the Potomac River to Catoctin Creek. The new building will be the home of a fire engine, ambulance, tanker, a brush unit, and the department’s Swift Water Rescue Team. “We are blessed to have a board
caine inside—about nine pounds in all. The courier was not criminally charged, but was allowed to withdraw his application for admission and depart on the next flight to Honduras. “Transnational criminal organizations attempt many creative concealment methods to smuggle their dangerous drugs into the United States, however Customs and Border Protection officers are highly skilled at detecting illicit contraband,” stated Casey Durst, CBP Director of Field Operations in Baltimore. “Narcotics interdiction remains one of CBP’s priority border security missions and is one way in which CBP contributes to the safety of our communities.” On a typical day, CBP seizes an average of 4,657 pounds of narcotics across the country.
Sheriff Continues CIT Rollout The Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office last week celebrated the graduation of another 30 participants graduating form Crisis Intervention Training. CIT helps prepare law enforcement officers, emergency dispatchers and others to calmly and effectively communicate with people experiencing a behavioral crisis. Sheriff Mike Chapman began the training seven years ago with the goal to have 25 sworn personnel certified. By 2017, all uniformed patrol and corrections deputies with two or more years had completed the CIT program. The program requires two or more years of experience to participate in the training. All dispatchers and call takers in the Emergency Communications Center are also trained in CIT. The recently completed training session had the largest number of graduates to date and included personnel from the Sheriff ’s Office, Fire-Rescue, Loudoun Animal Services, Loudoun County Public Schools, the Leesburg Police Department, the Winchester Police Department, the Front Royal Police Department, and the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency. and a county that provides the funding for us to do what we do, and have ultramodern facilities, stateof-the art facilities,” said Combined Fire-Rescue System Chief Keith Johnson. “I think you guys are heroes and should be paid like rock stars, but I also always encourage you all to take care of yourself and take care of each other,” Randall said. “This is a very tough, very demanding job and sometimes even heroes need assistance. So if you need it, please ask for it.” “The first responders, whether they are the volunteers or they are the full-time fire and rescue folks, they are the people who sit quietly and don’t get much notice and yet they stand in the gap for us, and we only notice them when we need them, and the rest of the time we take that all for granted,” said Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin). Construction on the new firehouse is expected to wrap up in fall 2020. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Bouweiri, Cook Celebrated for Community Contributions The Loudoun Laurels Foundation on Friday celebrated the contributions of two community leaders during a gala ceremony that raised money to provide college scholarships. Reston Limousine founder and CEO Kristina Bouweiri and longtime community volunteer Di Cook were inducted as the newest Loudoun Laurels during the program. While growing Reston Limo into a nationally awarded transportation company over the past 28 years, Bouweiri is credited with helping improve the county through her networking and philanthropic efforts. Through Reston Limousine alone, she has overseen the donation of more than $1.5 million of in-kind services to charitable organizations. She founded the Sterling Women networking group and co-founded the Virginia Women’s Business Conference to empower fellow businesswomen in the area. She also is a charter member of 100WomenStrong, which provides grants to support nonprofits in the county. She has personally helped raise more than $500,000 for charities in Loudoun County, nationally, and even internationally. Other notable efforts are the donation of over $200,000 to Loudoun County charities through Sterling Women and more than $800,000 donated through the “Wine, Cheese, and Chocolate” and “Partini” events. She also is a founding member of the

Cook
Loudoun CEO Cabinet and has served on the boards of the Inova Loudoun Hospital Foundation, Loudoun Education Foundation, Loudoun Chamber of Commerce, Visit Loudoun and Leadership Loudoun. Early on, she focused her charitable outreach on helping sick children, such as providing limo rides for the Make A Wish Foundation. “When you start giving and you see how it makes you feel, you just want to give more,” she said. Through her service to Loudoun’s nonprofit community, Di Cook is credited with impacting the lives of countless children, veterans and their families, as well as supporters of the arts. With her family foundation, she supports organizations that provide food, health care
and training to Loudoun County residents with the greatest need for life sustaining services. For more than 20 years, she has played leadership roles in organizations that support local artists and artistic projects, garden clubs and flower shows locally and throughout Virginia. As a member of the George C. Marshall International Center board, Cook led the effort to engage the Garden Club of Virginia to create a plan for the restoration of Dodona Manor’s garden and grounds to their appearance during the years in which the Marshalls lived in Leesburg. As a member of the Morven Park board, she worked to expand educational programs and events that increased tourism and enhanced visitors’ knowledge of the county’s rich history.
She also was instrumental in involving the Garden Club of Virginia in the design and implementation of the plans for Morven Park’s gardens and grounds. She has also served as president of the Loudoun Arts Council, and in leadership positions in the Leesburg Garden Club and the Fauquier and Loudoun Garden Club. “All of the volunteer work I have done, I felt in many ways they gave me more than I gave to them. They enriched my life. They made friends for me. They taught me something I hadn’t known before, perhaps. And I was back in my hometown and I felt like I had reestablished myself and grown here and I’m happy to be here,” she said. Her husband, Dr. John Cook, was inducted as a Loudoun Laurel in 2014, making the couple the third husband and wife to be honored through the program. Judy and Land Washburn were inducted in 2010 and Karen and Fred Schaufeld were inducted last year. In its 12th year, the Loudoun Laurels program recognizes community leaders for their service through its annual awards program and seeks to support the next generation of community leaders through mentorship and scholarships. Since 2013, the Trust has awarded 18 scholarships of up to $10,000 per year for each student to pay tuition and fees for each of the recipients during their four-year term in college or university.

When the shop announced last month that it was shutting its doors, avid cyclist and regular customer Robert Bagnall couldn’t let that happen. Bagnall bought the shop and has relaunched it as a nonprofit co-op. The new Revolutions by Maverick celebrates its grand opening Oct. 5 and 6. “Community bike shops are going away worldwide,” Bagnall said. “I think the way to make it survive is to make it a charity.” The new shop will continue to offer bike sales and service, along with a focus on community outreach and education. The shop will channel profits to cycling-related causes, including promoting bike lanes and other bike safety measures and will donate refurbished bikes to individuals in need. RBM will also launch a cafe with area wine and craft beer, locally roasted coffee and food designed to power athletes and enthusiasts. Bagnall, who is the founder and CEO
of a successful cybersecurity business, Centreville-based Maverick Cyber Defense, is a longtime cyclist who has had the idea of a nonprofit cycling shop in his head for some time. His plans kicked in sooner than expected when he took a bike in for service and heard about plans to close the shop. Bagnall sat down with Bicycle Outfitters owner Mark Warner and had the new nonprofit up and running within a week. Bagnall has kept on the shop’s core staff, including Justin Hanger, known as one of the best bicycle mechanics in the region, and buyer/office manager Dawn Graham. Graham’s husband, Doug, an award-winning photographer and experienced rider, also helps out on the sales floor and is an enthusiastic supporter of the new venture. Doug Graham, who recently returned from a motorcycle trip to the West Coast, was impressed with the ubiquitous restaurant/bike shop combos in Seattle. “This is more Pacific Northwest-type of thinking. I think it’s innovative and it’s fresh,” Graham said. “It’s going to REVOLUTIONS >> 17

For Bagnall, who like so many GenXers grew up with a bike as his main means of transportation, fostering cycling culture is key.

[ TOWN NOTES ]
Middleburg Commission Denies Plans for 38-Home Subdivision BY PATRICK SZABO Although the Town of Middleburg may be able to do virtually nothing to stop a developer’s plan to build a residential subdivision on farmland just outside the town limits, a recent vote to deny preliminary development plans have all but halted the process. Following two hours of discussion Sept 23, the Middleburg Planning Commission voted 5-1-1 to deny a developer’s preliminary subdivision application, which shows the layout of a proposed 38-home development, called Banbury Cross Reserve, on 571 acres of land to the northeast of the town limits off Sam Fred Road. Commissioner Mimi Stein was absent and Councilman Kevin Hazard, the council’s liaison to the Planning Commission, voted against denial. Although the entire property sits outside the town’s corporate limits, a majority of the proposed lots are within the town’s extraterritorial subdivision control area—land that, under Virginia law, falls under the purview of not only county regulations, but also under the town’s subdivision ordinance if it’s located within one mile of the town limits. The commission voted to deny the application claiming the developer, Middleburg Land 1 LLC, had not provided the town and county with its preliminary plans for fire protection; a survey of all trees at least 18 inches in caliper on the property; revisions to certain road widths that are necessary to meet the required design for the county’s Fire Apparatus Access Roads; identification of two archaeological sites found on the property; identification of certain floodplain boundaries; and acknowledgement that the developer will provide an at least 14-foot-wide public access easement along the proposed development’s Rt. 50 frontage to make way for the county’s planned 10-foot-wide shared-use path along the highway between Middleburg’s eastern limits and Snickersville Turnpike.
Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now
Nearly 600 acres along Sam Fred Road northeast of Middleburg could be developed into a 38home community, subject to county and town approval.
But denying the application could have negative legal repercussions for the town. Deputy Town Administrator Will Moore emphasized that since the developer’s application was in general compliance with the town’s subdivision ordinance and the county’s zoning ordinance, the Planning Commission was obligated to approve it without a subjective discussion around whether individual commissioners were in favor of or opposed to the development. “We are forbidden from trying to make a land use policy decision at the subdivision stage—we are making a ministerial act,” Moore said. He said it was not legal to deny the application on grounds of personal opposition to the proposed development. Moore said that while it wasn’t his job to defend the applicant, it was his job to try to “steer the town clear of legal exposure to some point.” On multiple occasions during the meeting, he urged the commission to approve the application because the town had “made favorable findings … in
terms of substantial conformance with the technical requirements.” The developer has two options now that the town has denied its application—resubmit at any time or sue the town in Circuit Court. Andrew Hertneky, the manager of Middleburg Land 1 LLC, declined to comment on the Planning Commission’s vote or his plans moving forward. Hertneky’s plans include an option to build the project using a more compact cluster option allowed by the county’s Agricultural Rural 2 zoning district, at a density of one lot per up to 15 acres with at least 70 percent of the land area set aside for rural economy lots, common open space or a combination of both. The proposal is to create 28 cluster lots in the southwestern corner of the property that range in size from about 2-4 acres and 10 rural economy lots ranging in size from about 25-70 acres. Hertneky has also proposed to set aside an additional 67 acres for five open space lots. According to a staff report, BANBURY CROSS >> 19
VDOT Approves Rt. 9 Road Closure Plan in Hillsboro; Some Residents Still Concerned BY PATRICK SZABO After months of skepticism, backlash and speculation surrounding the Town of Hillsboro’s road project and associated Rt. 9 closures, most questions have become answers as the day for construction crews to break apart the first segment of asphalt approaches. The town on Monday announced that VDOT had approved a plan for traffic flow during construction of its Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Safety Project, which will install two roundabouts on either end of town, build sidewalks and bury utility lines. The town has planned the project since at least 2004 and took over control from VDOT in 2017, since RT. 9 CLOSURE >> 20

ST. LOUIS 2nd Meeting Planned on Development Proposal At 7 p.m. on Friday, Oct, 18 at the Banneker Elementary School in the village of St. Louis, County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At-Large) will host the second community meeting on a developer’s plans to build 30 homes in the village—plans some residents claim will adversely affect the area’s water supply and disturb undiscovered graves. Residents can learn more about developer Jack Andrews’ proposed Middleburg Preserve development, a by-right subdivision on 19 acres along the northern portion of Snake Hill Road on the eastern end of the village. As was a common concern at the first community meeting on Sept. 12, residents worry the new houses will impact the wells that provide water to their homes. Residents were also concerned about 23 known, and up to 30 yet to-be-identified, grave sites on the property that could be disturbed if development goes through. The developer has stated that the unidentified graves are all contained within the existing graveyard. This week, Randall said that before Oct. 18, she plans to meet with the county staff and the developer to relay her views of opposition toward any by-right development in rural Loudoun County. “I don’t think this is the right location for a by-right development,” she said.
MIDDLEBURG Council Recognizes Hazard, Wife for Years of Town Service The Middleburg Town Council last Thursday approved resolutions of appreciation for former Councilman Kevin Hazard and his wife, former Pink Box Advisory Committee member Jo Ann Hazard, following decades of town involvement that yielded “exemplary services” to the town. They resigned from their posts in the town government this past Monday, citing a move to Vienna. Kevin Hazard was recognized for his nine years on the council and nearly 14 years on the Planning Commission. While on the council, he served as a liaison with the Christmas in Middleburg Committee and volunteered his time at town events, like Christmas in Middleburg and Shakespeare in the Burg. On the Planning Commission, Hazard provided “leadership and invaluable insight to the Commission in its preparation of a major TOWN NOTES >> 21

pect Hertneky’s company to sue the town, he is “always concerned about potential legal exposure with regard to development applications” and that the commission’s vote of denial “is what it is now.” Moving forward, county staff will need to approve or deny Hertneky’s preliminary application. County Public Affairs and Communications Officer Glen Barbour said the county staff is expecting Hertneky to address the comments that the town, county and VDOT made on his first application and resubmit. He said the staff at that time would re-evaluate the application to determine its conformance with county regulations. Even if the county does approve the application, though, Hertneky will still need to get the town’s approval to advance his development plans. pszabo@loudounnow.com

the development can be served by individual wells and drainfields. Hertneky has suggested there could be four entrances along Sam Fred Road, with two for the 28-home cluster area and two farther north along the road to serve the 10 rural economy lots. The initial development plans weren’t received well by residents during Monday’s meeting. Mayor Bridge Littleton read a letter from state Sen. Jill Vogel (R-27), who requested the Planning Commission to urge the county to delay action on the application until further studies are completed and the county initiates an update to the AR2 zoning district’s cluster subdivision regulations to “help combat these forms of suburban growth in our rural areas.” Littleton echoed Vogel’s comments, noting that the county’s clustering option “needs to be changed.” “It will slowly … erode the open spaces we have,” he said. Resident Brad Bondi, an attorney, urged the Planning Commission to vote against the preliminary application because, he said, it was “deficient on its face.” He pointed out that, while the property rests on historical ground where Revolutionary and Civil War soldiers walked and where Native Americans and slaves lived, the developer did not provide the town and county with an archeological study. Piedmont Environmental Council
“I think it is the antithesis of all that you all have worked very hard to protect,” she told the Planning Commission. “Because it is by-right does not mean it’s God-given.” Gem Bingol, the Piedmont Environmental Council’s representative in Loudoun and Clarke counties, pointed out that Banbury Cross Reserve was the first major subdivision application located in the county’s AR2 zoning district southwest of Snickersville Turnpike to move forward in at least 10 years and that if the 38 homes do eventually go in, it could set a precedent for future developments in the area. In all, 23 residents voiced their opposition to the proposed development and urged the commission to not vote on approval of the preliminary plans. No one spoke in favor of the proposed development, although representatives from Middleburg Land 1 LLC were present. Moore said that while he doesn’t ex-

Field Representative Evan McCarthy backed Bondi’s statement up by noting that, according to the Virginia Cultural Resource Information System, there are 14 recorded historic archeological sites with three miles of the property and 341 architectural resources within one mile. Bondi also said the developer’s hydrogeologic study did not show the proposed development’s impact on neighboring lands and that it also did not provide the town and county with a study showing the proposed development’s impact on the surrounding wetlands. “This is more than a technical deficiency. This is a real deficiency and the applicant has not met its obligation,” he said. Laurie McClary, a lifelong Middleburg resident, said “there is nothing that says ‘welcome to historic, rural, tradition-steeped Middleburg village’ like cluster housing.”

advancing it from 60 percent of the way through the design phase to where it stands now—about ready to go out to bid for construction. According to a town statement, VDOT’s approval of the traffic plan was based on data-driven analyses and recommendations made by it and the town’s traffic experts. The plan calls for Rt. 9 to be closed on weekdays during construction, except for a single eastbound lane to be opened from 4-9 a.m. to allow for the morning rush-hour traffic to move through town. Work will also accommodate weekend westbound traffic, with one westbound lane to be opened from 3 p.m. on Fridays to 5 p.m. on Sundays. For up to 60 non-consecutive days spread out over the project’s 14-month construction timeline, the highway will remain closed through the town all day long. “I think that we’ve come up with a plan that’s really the best and most effective way to move this project forward,” Mayor Roger Vance told a crowd of about 75 residents during Monday night’s Greater Hillsboro Business Alliance Meeting at the Old Stone School. “I think this plan really does address the needs of everyone to the extent that we can do it.” Because at least one lane of Rt. 9 will be closed at all times during construction, signage will guide traffic down local and regional detours. The regional detour will direct traffic originating west of Rt. 340 down that highway to Rt. 7. The town expects about 60 to 65 percent of the total daily volume of Rt. 9 traffic to use that detour—meaning about 10,000 to 11,000 of the total 17,000 vehicle trips that cut through the town on a daily basis should be diverted elsewhere during construction. The official local detour will route eastbound traffic around Hillsboro by taking it down Stoney Point Road to Woodgrove Road, to Allder School Road and then Hillsboro Road, back north to Route 9. The new traffic plan comes after two months of discussion between the town and VDOT, following the town’s early August receipt of three construction bids that came in well over the project’s budget—a problem the town and VDOT think they’ve corrected by identifying a plan that will reduce construction time, and costs. According to Vance, the project manager, the project will be “messy and dirty” and will upset everyone at some point. Knowing that, he and Vice Mayor Marasco have always felt the need to get it done quickly. To bring the construction timeline down from 36 to 14 months, Rt. 9 will have to be closed more frequently than what some residents want. “The most important thing to us is getting it done and getting it done quickly,” Vance said. To move the project along more quickly, the town will provide the selected construction firm with financial incentives to complete certain components of the project by specific dates, for reducing the number of times the highway is closed completely through town and for completing the project sooner than projected. At the alliance meeting, Marasco told business owners that one of those incentives would focus on nightwork. She said the selected construction firm would have the ability to speed the project by working through the night if it chooses
to do so, since, she said in-town residents are OK with that. But not all area residents and business owners are completely onboard with the project just yet. Notaviva Craft Fermentations Co-Founder Stephen Mackey told Vance and Marasco during the alliance meeting that he couldn’t quantify the compromise between the project’s negative and positive effects. He said it seems as though Hillsboro residents and businesses owners are incurring all of the risk. Marasco responded by pointing out that, once completed, the project would make the town a “gateway destination,” saying that Hillsboro could possibly rival Williamsburg as a tourist destination if, among other initiatives, it hosts walking tours once traffic through the town is less dangerous for pedestrians. Kerem Baki, the owner of Hillsborough Winery, Brewery and Vineyard, proposed the project be halted until other options could be explored. He said that while he trusts Vance, Marasco and the town, he’s still uncertain about plans to close Rt. 9 so much for such a length of time. He said that doing so would impact business “to a detrimental capacity” and that he’s certain he would lose at least 60 percent of his annual revenue, since the proposed detours would not be sufficient enough to continue bringing visitors to the area. “We’re not trying to stop the town … we just don’t want them to shut us down in the process,” he said. “We cannot in good conscious approve this plan.” Even amid continued, although dwindling, opposition to the traffic plans, Vance and Marasco have held their ground on the matter by emphasizing that the project would benefit the town in the long run. Vance said the project would provide the town with “a great, elegant solution to a real problem”—that problem being high volumes of speeding traffic through the town. He said the roundabouts would alleviate traffic congestion by moving it through town during the most heavily-travelled times of day while simultaneously slowing drivers down to 25 mph. “What were really doing here is we’re transforming a community,” he said. The duo assured residents that they would continually release information on the project and road closures moving forward, citing an Oct. 8 public meeting as the first of many the town has planned for the second Tuesday of each month. Aside from the town keeping residents up to date on the project, there’s also an effort by Visit Loudoun to keep area visitors apprised of the road closures during construction to help continue driving them to northwestern Loudoun. President and CEO Beth Erickson told business alliance attendees that Visit Loudoun would be putting together a communication plan to keep visitors visiting. Visit Loudoun will host an input session on Oct. 10 at the Old Stone School to begin discussions on that plan. With traffic flow plans now approved, the town is set to put the project out for bid this month. Vance and Marasco are hoping the bids will come in on budget so they can make a selection on a construction firm by December and get the project underway before the end of this year.

PURCELLVILLE Police Officer Awarded for Making the Most DUI Arrests Mothers Against Drunk Driving last week presented Purcellville Police Officer Joshua Calhoun with the MADD Law Enforcement Officer Award during its annual award ceremony at George Mason University’s Woodbridge campus. Calhoun was awarded because he made the most DUI arrests in Purcellville in 2018. According to a town statement, since Calhoun joined the police department in January 2018, he has “made a significant impact on the safety of the Purcellville community” by continuously engaging in pro-active DUI enforcement and determent and by building partnerships with bars and restaurants to prevent their patrons from driving home drunk.
Each year, MADD hosts an award ceremony to recognize the top local law enforcement officers in their drive to help to prevent drunk and drugged driving, which leads to more than 10,000 deaths annually in the U.S.

It’s Waterford Fair Weekend
LOCO CULTURE
BY MARGARET MORTON Visitors to this weekend’s Waterford Fair can take in Civil War re-enactments, tour historic houses, peruse art and photography exhibits, purchase dried flowers, jams, jellies, and craft items ranging from hand-woven rugs to ironwork; enjoy live music performances on three stages; sip on local craft beverages; and dig in on lots of food. The fair is held each year during the first weekend of October, and this year the Waterford Foundation will offer a number of celebratory features, according to Fair Chairwoman Tracy Kirkman. It’s her fourth year leading the fair and, as she tidied up any loose ends this week, she said she’s excited by several new artisans—a glass blower, a knife maker, the return of a tinsmith to the fair, and by the quality of some new jewelers. Just as it was during the first fair 75 years ago, preparing for the event is an all-hands-on-deck operation for village residents, as the entire village becomes a stage to mount a many-faceted history show. Some longtime residents have dual roles as organizers and participants. Kathy and Nick Ratcliffe have lived in the village for 41 years. In addition to helping organize the event, Kathy also is an exhibitor. “The villagers are proud of living in the village, it seems to be an experience that the whole village participates in,” she said. And people love the stories of the village and the homes that are open for tours. She is also an expert quilter, specializing in exquisite miniature framed quilts, and she uses her house as her demonstration area during the fair. She has found that visitors are very interested in her work, and how she approaches it. The Waterford Fair is essentially a “teaching” fair, requiring its artisans

to demonstrate their craft 50 percent of the time. Ratcliffe put a simple story board together for students one year, to visually show them how she achieves the final product—stitch by stitch. But she also found it’s as useful in teaching adults. “Oh, now I get it,” they’ll say. Antonia Walker and her husband, restoration contractor Tim McGinn, are also longtime residents. “People find [the fair] magical, it’s a real place, with people living their lives there,” she said. Years after she first moved into town, she discovered what “the kids all knew straight off—it’s the best place to meet people.” Art is a popular element of the fair, and a silent auction of a painting by Walker will be on display throughout the weekend at the Schooley Mill Barn. It’s an unusual view of the village—seen
from across the Catoctin Creek, and looking back at the village. Two other longtime residents are Paul and Kitty Rose. To them, it’s the people and their sense of pride in the village that make Waterford special. Like Walker, Kitty Rose is an artist, while Paul is a contractor. They’ve both been involved with the fair for years, and they noted the fair’s atmosphere rubs off on the visiting craft demonstrators. They seem to like an appreciative public, and “never complained having to sleep out in the fields in tents in the early days,” Paul Rose said. They’ve opened their house for tours several times. It’s the people you meet here, not the houses, they said.

New Champion Crowned at Lovettsville Weiner Dog Races BY RENSS GREENE A five-year dynasty ended with a photo finish Saturday, as Huck unseated Kaiser at the Lovettsville Oktoberfest Weiner dog races. Huck’s trainer, Jason Houtz, said it was a “bittersweet” victory, as Huck and the longtime reigning champion are friends. Each athlete sprinted through four heats of head-to-head, one-on-one Weiner races to see who would claim the prized trophy and doggy biscuit at this year’s evening race. Kaiser, who has been unbeatable for five years running, fell to third place behind Huck and fan favorite Winslow, who finished second. Oktoberfest committee member Natalie Metzler said it was the “most exciting Weiner dog race we’ve ever done.” The Oktoberfest event also saw a
new Oktoberfest King and Queen crowned. Melissa and Scott Barton handed over their regalia to newly crowned Oktoberfest King and Queen Chris Gardner and Rebekah Ontiveros. Gardner and Ontiveros also had a strong showing with one of their racers, Hugo, who placed first in the race earlier in the day, ahead of Pippin and Squeak. Their other racer, Odin, faced Kaiser in the first heat of the evening races. And former Lovettsville mayor Bobby Zoldos returned to town to once again emcee the races. The Weiner dog races are the centerpiece of Lovettsville’s well-loved and well-attended two-day Oktoberfest, which began Friday with a Lions Club dinner and beer taps opening on The Green at the Walker Pavilion.

The 20th season of the popular Tarara Concert Series is closing out in a big way on Saturday with an all-star lineup hoping to raise money for a favorite cause. The concert series started at the Lucketts-area winery in 1999 with two guitar players on the back deck of the tasting room. Two decades later, it has grown into a 20-week series that attracts up to 50,000 people each summer. Saturday’s event is more of a daylong festival, with gates opening at 1 p.m., that features a line-up of some of Loudoun’s favorite performers. Coming off their popular gig at Lovettsville’s Oktoberfest last week, Ghost Pepper opens the show at 2 p.m. and the Darby Brothers, who played Tally Ho’s big stage last week, close the event with a set that begins at 8 p.m. In between those shows, singer-songwriter Todd Wright and his friends have a little something special planned. At 4 p.m., concert-goers will witness the unveiling of Calgary, which includes Wright, 4 Out of 5 Doctors front man Cal Everett on bass and lead guitarist Gary Smallwood. The newly formed band will take a seat at the drumkit to perform a set of classic rock and putting their amazing vocal harmonies on display. At 6 p.m., Wright returns with Tommy Gann for a set of power pop and rock.
The event will act as a fundraiser for Cancer Can Rock. “We wanted to partner with a local nonprofit that has a music tie-in to the Concert Series,” said organizer Rusty Foster. “Cancer Can Rock has a singular purpose and that’s assisting musicians that are facing aggressive cancer.” Stilson Greene organizes two CCR fundraisers each year, usually held at Spanky’s Pub in Leesburg, to help raise money for artists suffering with cancer to get recorded and ensure their music lives on. He said he jumped at Foster’s suggestion to move to a bigger stage. “This was an opportunity of a lifetime for CCR. We are hoping for a large crowd, not only for the chance to raise much needed funds but also raise awareness of CCR’s mission,” Greene said. “The weather looks beautiful. The site is magical. I guarantee the music will be off the charts.” “Any opportunity we have to provide a platform for a nonprofit to grow or
to tell their story to a different/larger audience, then we will try our best to make that happen,” Foster said. “Nonprofits help fill a void in many lives and we like doing our part to pay it forward.” Foster also said the event is a great way to cap off a special concert season. “Celebrating 20 years of the Tarara Summer Concert Series has been amazing,” he said. “Loudoun United unveiled their official wine with Tarara Winery, the Deloreans made a presence at the final Reflex concert to celebrate ‘80s night, and Sam Grow announced his tour with Brantley Gilbert beginning in November. Obviously, we had some great bands that graced the stage at Shadow Lake—The Legwarmers, Gonzo’s Nose, Sam Grow and Delta Spur, Turnstiles, White Ford Bronco, Junk Food and One Hot Mess, Bruce In The USA—but witnessing attendees having a great time dancing, smiling, singing, relaxing, laughing, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries is by far the biggest highlight. We only want this series to grow and for more people and businesses to enjoy the live music experience that has been created at Tarara.” There will be food trucks on site and concert-goers are invited to bring a picnic or get a tent for the day. Tickets are $10-$40 and available at tararaconcerts.com.

Legal Notices Town of Leesburg Continues Water Valve Exercise and Maintenance Program Public Notification
OFFICIAL VOTING INFORMATION
The Town of Leesburg is continuing a preventative maintenance program to protect the longevity and operation of the water system infrastructure and valves. This consists of a valve exercise program, which requires closing, then opening each main line valve and service line valves in specific distribution areas. The purpose of the program is to exercise main line valves throughout the distribution system to assure reliable operation and maintain water quality. During this program crews will exercise the valves by operating the valve through a full cycle and returning it to its normal position. Where valves are exercised, a fire hydrant will be flowed to ensure that the water in the main remains clear. During the valve turning exercise customers may experience some sediment or discolored water for a short period of time. Water is safe to drink and safe to use during this period. If this condition is noticed we recommend running several cold water taps at full force for a period of 1-2 minutes which should remove any discoloration from the water. It may be necessary to repeat this process after 30 minutes in some cases. In addition, the closing and opening of valves may introduce air into water lines which can cause temporary erratic water flow. The valve exercising will occur June through November during the hours of 7:00am – 2:30pm, Monday through Friday. The Town regrets any inconvenience the maintenance program may cause. If you have any questions regarding our valve exercising program, or have any concerns about water quality, please call the Utilities Department at 703-737-7075. For after-hour emergencies, please call the Leesburg Police Department at 703-771-4500. 10/03/19

Renewal forms were mailed the first week of September to those currently enrolled who are up for renewal.

The commitment must be filed with my office by November 1, 2019 and recorded in the Loudoun County Clerk of the Circuit Court´s office by December 20, 2019.

Beyond the Bubble Test Sitting around the table with several members of Loudoun’s General Assembly delegation last week, there appeared to be significant traction in the effort to move student assessments beyond the standardized tests that have done more to impede student learning than to improve it. Mandated in 1998 during the Allen administration, the Standards of Learning were aimed at assuring that students in each school, even each teacher’s classroom, demonstrated a mastery of the foundational elements of the curricula. As the fillin-the-bubble, multiple choice testing system evolved, the focus of lesson plans moved toward efforts to assure students would record passing grades when the timer rang. Instructors spent more and more classroom time teaching the minimum requirements, and students scrambled to memorize the list of facts that were expected to be listed on the test pages. The “teach to the test” approach is an inherent byproduct of that assessment system. Today, in school districts like Loudoun, where the curriculum at all levels has become more focused on problem solving and creative reasoning, taking time out to return to rote learning for SOL test prep is disruptive and counterproductive. In seeking authority to devise a new testing procedure intended to provide a more comprehensive assessment of students’ mastery of critical content and concepts, Loudoun’s school leaders are asking for the opportunity to set a new example for the commonwealth. In doing so, administrators would face a formidable challenge in ensuring their new performance measurements could not be manipulated to mask shortcomings or fail to hold schools accountable in the effort to make sure each student can demonstrate proficiency. The need to move beyond Virginia’s current SOL system has been evident for years. The question now is whether Virginia’s leaders—starting with Loudoun’s own delegation—are ready to seek that change and whether the county’s educators are up to leading that charge.

[ LETTERS ] Not Wrong Editor: This letter is in response to one from Rose Ellen Ray asserting that Natalie Pien is “dead wrong” and that climate change does not exist. Natalie Pien is not wrong. Or, if she is, she’s wrong along with all the climate scientists at NASA Goddard, Berkley Earth, Japanese Meteorological Agency, NOAA National Climatic Data Center, and the Met Office Hadley Centre/Climatic Research Unit who have been tracking and graphing temperatures since 1880. NASA reports that 2016 was the warmest year since 1880, with the 10 warmest years all occurring after 2005, and the five most recent years the warmest ever. 97 percent of climate scientists publishing peer-reviewed research agree that the climate is warming and that human activities are the likely cause. Note the following consensus statement from 18 scientific American societies including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, American Chemical Society, American Geophysical Union, American Medical Association, American Meteorological Society, American Physical Society, and Geological Society of America: “Observations throughout the world make it clear that climate change is occurring, and rigorous scientific research demonstrates that the greenhouse gases emitted by human activities are the primary driver.” (2009) Note the joint statement from international science academies: “Climate change is real. There will always be uncertainty in understanding a system as complex as the world’s climate. However, there is now strong evidence that significant global warming is occurring. The evidence comes from direct measurements of rising surface air temperatures and subsurface ocean temperatures and from phenomena
such as increases in average global sea levels, retreating glaciers, and changes to many physical and biological systems. It is likely that most of the warming in recent decades can be attributed to human activities (IPCC 2001).” (2005, 11 international science academies) And from the U.S. Global Change Research Program: “The global warming of the past 50 years is due primarily to human-induced increases in heat-trapping gases. Human ‘fingerprints’ also have been identified in many other aspects of the climate system, including changes in ocean heat content, precipitation, atmospheric moisture, and Arctic sea ice.” (2009, 13 U.S. government departments and agencies) And from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: “Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and since the 1950s, many of the observed changes are unprecedented over decades to millennia. The atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished, and sea level has risen. “Human influence on the climate system is clear, and recent anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases are the highest in history. Recent climate changes have had widespread impacts on human and natural systems.” This is science, not blind faith in things you can’t see and measure, not a myth you choose to believe or not—like the tooth fairy, UFOs, or paranormal activity. We ignore these scientists’ words at our peril and that of future generations. How can anyone, even an average citizen, live in northern Virginia for the past few years and not notice distinct changes in the weather patterns—deluges of rain week after week (destroying the grape harvest in 2018) LETTERS >> 45
[ LETTERS ] << FROM 44
Editor: Why does Loudoun Now continue to publish letters from Rose Ellen Ray pushing blindly ignorant climate denial propaganda in the face of Loudoun citizens who know better? Climate isn’t a political issue, yet Ms. Ray shows a blatant disregard for truth or decency in tearing down the excellent work of Natalie Pien and the Piedmont Environmental Council and other science-based groups who are working hard to ensure our children and grandchildren have someplace to live in 50 years. Ms. Ray promoted another debunked and disgraced climate change denier back in December 2018. That person was a telecom executive turned you-tuber paid by the fossil fuel industry to say that climate change was not real. The current guy is a television personality who works with Accuweather, you know the company whose former president is now in charge of NOAA at the Department of Commerce where he’s attempting to prohibit the American public from getting the NOAA weather data our tax money pays for so that everyone has to buy it commercially through Accuweather. This guy is on the Accuweather pay channel, has no advanced degrees, yet wrote a book entirely at odds with the scientific consensus on climate change, yet we’re supposed to believe him because he’s been a weatherman. Well, predicting the weather and understanding the science and physics of the climate are not the same thing. The fact is that evidence of climate change is all around and only someone with a narrow political interest in the short-term profitability of the fossil fuel industry would spout this nonsense. Ms. Ray seems to find these people, though I suppose it takes her about 9 months to find one of them given her track record of letter writing on the topic. I wish that Ms. Ray would give up her crusade against climate change and use her considerable talents at letter writing for good. There are lots of people out there who have to be convinced to pay for our government taxpayer funded weather data and I’m sure she could help change their minds. — Rob Martin, Leesburg
Science Under Attack Editor: As a physicist I feel obligated to respond to the recent letter published here concerning climate change. There is a great deal of confusion here, stemming in part from a widespread misunderstanding of what constitutes science. Here are four of the salient charac-

followed by weeks of drought (e.g., the past few weeks), snowfalls measured in feet rather than inches, ferocious storms that uproot trees, flood basements, and tear off roofs, milder than average temperatures in winter. I have lived in Leesburg for over 40 years, and this is not weather as usual. — Jane Miley, Leesburg
teristics of science: 1. Science includes theories, which are models of reality. Every scientific theory is falsifiable, which means that it can be validated or refuted by means of experiments conducted by independent researchers. 2. Scientific theories are approximations. The difference between theoretical predictions and the results of well-designed experiments indicate either a lack of precision in the experiment, or an imperfection in the theory, or both. Continued experimentation and refinement of the theory are done to improve the accuracy of the theory. But no theory is absolutely perfect. Consequently, we use the most accurate theory we have, until a better one comes along. 3. When someone develops a new scientific theory, they publish it in a peer-reviewed scientific journal. Then scientists perform experiments to determine whether the new theory produces more accurate predictions than the theory it seeks to replace. In testing theories, it is essential to consider all of the experimental data, not just the data that happen to fit the theory. The experimental results must be reproducible by other, independent, researchers. 4. Scientists are human, and are subject to all the limitations of other human beings, including but not limited to ethical lapses, desire for wealth and fame, and prejudices. Based on the above, it is possible to parse junk science from real science. For instance: 1. When a theory is offered without the possibility of experimental verification, then it cannot be science, because science does not ask us to accept its results based on faith, but rather on solid and unambiguous experimental evidence. 2. When a theory is offered that requires the discounting or discarding of valid scientific evidence, it cannot be a valid scientific theory. One of the telling features of junk science is its “cherry picking” of data to make its points. 3. The internet is not per se a reliable source of scientific information, because anyone can post anything there. Sadly, many of the traditional media are not much better. 4. The American public should remember the tobacco industry, which paid its scientists first to do tests that established links between smoking and lung cancer, heart disease, etc., then to testify as to the harmlessness of tobacco. The unscrupulous can always find someone willing to help them sow disinformation. A way for the public to learn the truth is to research the source of the claimants’ funding and their motivation, together with all the evidence. We live in an era when science is under attack. With regard to climate change, there are very wealthy and powerful forces whose interest is in maximizing their short-term profits, who have no concern for the welfare of the planet or the life forms that inhabit it—not even their own grandchildren. — Stephen Schiff, Aldie

Graydon Manor
Zoning Interpretation Sparks Legal Battle
October 3, 2019
<< FROM 1
As Gregory debates a sewer service extension, or expansion, with the town, he’s also debating the county over its interpretation of the term “co-housing.” While Gregory knows co-housing to be a permitted use in the county’s Agricultural Rural 1 zoning district, the county sees his co-housing plans as a misinterpretation of the zoning ordinance. In a November 2018 response to Gregory’s request for a zoning ordinance interpretation on the term “co-housing,” Senior Planner Mark Depo informed Gregory that co-housing is an arrangement of individually-owned lots that each contain one single-family detached dwelling, not buildings containing multiple units within. After the county Board of Zoning Appeals affirmed Depo’s interpretation of co-housing in February, Gregory filed a lawsuit against the county on March 28, seeking a court-ordered reversal of the board’s stance. The suit alleges that legal action arose from Zoning Administrator Mark Stultz’s “inappropriate actions to thwart byright development on Graydon Manor’s property” and that Stultz “ignored Graydon Manor’s by-right permitted uses and manufactured limitations and restrictions that do not exist in the plain text of the unambiguous zoning ordinance.” Gregory’s lawsuit also highlights that the county initiated a zoning ordinance amendment to change the AR1 zoning district regulations to “impose new restrictions on residential uses.” That amendment proposes to add language making it clear that the maximum density of an AR1 lot would be one dwelling unit per 20 acres, considering a landowner chooses not to apply to use one of a few development options. Gregory said he feels the amendment was, to some degree, initiated in response to his plans for Graydon Manor. “We’ve been targeted with this,” he said. But Deputy County Attorney Courtney Sydnor said the zoning ordinance amendment is not targeted toward Gregory’s plans, nor is it limited to just the AR1 zoning district. She pointed out that it’s tied to a total of 16 zoning districts. Sydnor said the amendment, if approved by the Board of Supervisors early next year, also wouldn’t decrease density in the AR1 zoning district, but that it would simply express residential density as a number of dwelling units per acre to add uniformity to the ordinance.

plan prohibits municipalities from serving with public water and sewer, unless the property in question has a failing private utility system or is a public facility, such as a school. She also mentioned that the Town Council in 1998 passed a resolution to discourage the town from extending sewer service west of its corporate limits and that, under to the Town Code, the council would need to vote on a sewer extension at Graydon Manor if Gregory’s project requires additional capacity. But Gregory feels that he’d be in need of a sewer “expansion” and not an “extension,” since he wouldn’t be asking the town to extend sewer to another property, but expand it on the same site. “They’re playing word semantics,” he said. Town Attorney Barbara Notar on Tuesday affirmed the town’s position on “extension” versus “expansion.” “The town has been consistent in our position that what the property owner proposes is an extension of the sewer system under the Town Code,” she said. “Any extensions under the Town Code must be approved by the Town Council.” While Wyks said she didn’t know if the town had the sewer capacity to approve an extension at Graydon, Gregory said the town probably does have enough capacity because it’s engaged in a legal battle with the county as it tries to become the sole utility service provider for future developments in the Joint Land Management Area—properties outside the town’s corporate limits that the town traditionally serves with water and sewer. Councilman Tom Dunn said he didn’t feel that the town should automatically tell existing sewer customers that it would cut their service back should they decide to change their use. Councilman Ron Campbell pointed out that extending sewer service to the property would provide the town with increased revenue from the collection of added sewer fees. “We’re not giving it to them for free—we’re going to charge them for it if it were to be done,” he said. A day after the Leesburg Town Council discussed sewer service extension on the property, it voted to provide the town’s VFW with a $7,512 sewer connection fee waiver in the form of a gift, as permitted by Virginia law.
Conservation district << FROM 3 or, to protect our soil and water.” Emails shared with Loudoun Now that were attributed to Flannery also underscore his assertion that a position on the SWCD board has nothing to do with race, but of performing a public service. One of Thomas’ campaign tenets has been to increase diversity on the board, as well as to increase its community outreach in the ever-diversifying county. Thomas acknowledged that she and Flannery reached out to each other in the early months of her campaign about collaborating on a joint slate, since voters
select three candidates on November’s ballot. She said her outreach to Flannery ahead of her campaign launch went unanswered, and it was only after word of her campaign launch spread that he reached out. Thomas said Flannery was upset that she did not want to run her campaign in the way he recommended, and she described his recent Facebook post as a “public lynching” in an effort to get her un-endorsed by the local Democratic party. She also said Flannery has misconstrued her message about criticizing the lack of diversity on the board as an assault of racism. “That was never the intention,” she said. “I think we all can look at the numbers and know that African Americans who have [historically] done all of the farming in Loudoun now are left out of
Sydnor said Gregory’s plans don’t conform with the regulations of the AR1 zoning district. “It’s not a matter of what the county … would like to see [developed on the property]. It’s whether or not it meets the ordinance and this does not,” she said. In its May 2 response to the lawsuit, the county wrote that the Board of Zoning Appeals’ decision “is in accordance with the facts, the law and the intent of the zoning ordinance.” A four-day trial is set for spring 2020.
Feelings of Bullying Gregory said he feels the county and town are “bullying” him by intentionally pushing back on all his development plans. He mentioned that he feels the “harassment” has affected him in more places than one, citing a June lawsuit the county filed against him in an effort to gain control of a 35-foot-wide rightof-way on his 8-acre Ashburn property neighboring Loudoun Station—a rightof-way stretching about 500 feet that Reliance Insurance Company in 1997 proffered for an access road to be constructed for the future mass transit station. County Attorney Leo Rogers said the county filed the suit because Gregory “was holding VDOT up for money” on land that had been proffered two decades earlier and because VDOT asked the county to step in and help. While Gregory has since settled with VDOT on the dedication of that land, he feels the county’s lawsuit was intended to “torment” him even more than what’s going on at Graydon. “We find that to be just plain malicious,” he said. In response, Sydnor said that “there is no intention by the staff, by the county to bully Mr. Gregory” and that Gregory’s development plans at Graydon Manor just don’t meet the regulations of the county’s zoning ordinance. County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At-Large) said she regrets that any resident “doesn’t feel like they’re being treated fairly or respected by the county.” “That’s never the goal,” she said. “I would never want to see that for anyone.”
If All Else Fails, Skeet Shooting While Gregory said he fully intends to fight the county over its interpretation of the co-housing village and the town over its sewer service pushback, Gregory said that if the two governments fully block his development plans, he would set his sights on another by-right use for the property—a skeet-shooting the farming equation. We know that’s the problem. Part of the problem is systemic racism. That doesn’t mean everyone on the board is racist. For John to turn my inquiry into a personal assault, he’s just wrong for that.” Both candidates have seen their show of public support on social media for the recent back-and-forth, including Thomas’ predecessor as Loudoun NAACP president. Phillip Thompson, immediate past president of the Loudoun NAACP, has said he intends to file a lawsuit against the SWCD in response to an initial FOIA request that he filed the day of Flannery’s post, Sept. 17. He has since filed a second request with a narrower scope after the SWCD FOIA representative responded that the cost to fulfill his original request would be in excess of $10,000 for the
range. Of course, as is the case with the co-housing village proposal, Gregory might also have some difficulty there. In an August response to Gregory’s request for a zoning ordinance interpretation of the term “shooting” as an outdoor sport, Stultz informed Gregory that the terms “shooting” and “outdoor sporting event” don’t appear in the AR1 zoning district regulations and, moreover, that the Zoning Ordinance does not define either term. Stultz wrote that the Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary defines “shooting” as “to hit, wound, damage, kill or destroy with a missile discharged from a weapon” and “sport” as “an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.” While the dictionary doesn’t define “shooting” as a sport, Gregory argues that it should be considered as such, since it’s in the Olympics. “I don’t think they get to decide which sport they want,” he said. Stultz also pointed out that the county’s Zoning Ordinance references “archery or firearm shooting” as a component of a “recreation establishment, indoor,” but that the use is not permitted by right or as a special exception in the AR1 zoning district. Stultz went on to note that the only other ordinance referencing firearms shooting is “firearm range, indoor,” which is not listed as a permitted or special exception use in the AR1 zoning district and which the ordinance does not define. The Board of Supervisors is, however, currently considering a Zoning Ordinance amendment that proposes to add “sports shooting range, outdoor” as a special exception use in the AR1 and AR2 zoning districts. Gregory said he’s still completely focused on his battle to bring the co-housing village plan to fruition and that he would only advance the skeet shooting plans if it becomes impossible to follow through with his original concept. Moving toward trial with the county and further discussions with the Town of Leesburg on sewer service, Gregory said he’s hopeful that cooler heads will prevail. “We hope it can be resolved soon,” he said. pszabo@loudounnow.com Reporter Kara C. Rodriguez contributed to this story. information he sought and the time to compile it. That information included a copy of the board’s budget from the last three years; the names and addresses of grant recipients; expenditures; and information on diversity and equity programs. His second request, which has not yet been answered, narrowed the scope of the request to focus on the diversity and equity programs. “The way John responded to Pastor Michelle in such a way was over the top,” he explained in his reasoning in seeking the FOIA request. “The question becomes what’s going on. Are you hiding something?” Flannery did not respond to requests for comment for this article. krodriguez@loudounnow.com
County Attorney’s Office was Alerted to Concerns about Loudoun Teacher’s Past

After initially stating that investigators into alleged sexual misconduct by several teachers at the Maret School in Washington, DC, had incorrectly reported that his office had previously been told of the concerns about a teacher now working in the Loudoun County Public Schools, County Attorney Leo Rogers issued a correction on Thursday. An investigative report by members of the Crowell & Moring law firm, identified Eugene Legg, who has taught in Loudoun County since 1995, as one of four teachers to have credible claims of misconduct reported by former students. Legg taught at the school from 19741989, served as the chair of the Humanities Department and, during his later years, as the head of the Upper School, in addition to coaching and various other faculty duties. In Loudoun, Legg has been an English teacher at Rock Ridge High School since 2016. He previously

Attorney and a Loudoun County child protective services worker were informed about an investigation of allegations against a teacher in the Loudoun County Public Schools who formerly worked for the Maret School in Washington D.C. At that time, the Assistant County Attorney advised the Maret School and the Loudoun County Department of Family Services that Loudoun’s Child Protective Services does not have jurisdiction in the matter. She further suggested that representative of the Maret School or those who have direct knowledge of the allegations in Washington, D.C. contact Loudoun County Public Schools.” Rogers also noted that the County Attorney’s Office is not affiliated with the Loudoun County Public Schools system and would not be involved in school personnel actions. nsyter@loudounnow.com

what is today an incurable disease, Ryan is known for his positive attitude. He is famous for always having a smile on his face, as Potomac Falls Panthers coach Paul Barnes can attest to. Barnes said he knew Ryan from teaching gym class. “I got to talk to him in the hallways and we just became friends, and [he’s] a real inspiration,” Barnes said. “Because like I’ve always said, your bad day was his best day, and he’s fighting and struggling, but you would never know it. He never complains.” That attitude and perseverance became an inspiration for both Barnes and the football team. “He really had an impact on not only me, but a lot of our guys, too, so we decided that, hey, let’s make him an honorary member,” Barnes said. Ryan went to practices and dinners with the team leading up to the big homecoming game. And Ryan might be back for some more games, said his mother, Tuba. “Now he’s completely motivated, because he loves this,” Tuba said. “He loves football, he loves being part of a team.” Ryan, eager to get back to the sidelines to watch the game, said practicing for the team is fun, and if he could play a position it would be quarterback. The family has launched a fundraiser to help find a cure for NBIA-MPAN, collecting donations through Children’s National Hospital. And not a cent of it goes to the family, said Ryan’s father, Faisal. “This is all going 100 percent to research, it doesn’t go to paying his medical bills,” Faisal said. “We pay his medical bills. We’re not asking anybody for help for our family. It’s for research for kids like him.” Donations are accepted at childrensnational.org/CureMPAN. Comments on that page are already filled with stories from people who have met Ryan and found him joyful and resilient. Already, close to 400 people and families have given, ranging from a few dollars to a $25,000 donation from professional services firm Ernst & Young. There is also a video telling Ryan’s story online at youtu.be/JZoqLe-MmRE. “We are humbled and grateful for the outpouring of support by this community,” said Faisal said. “We just ask people to keep Ryan and other kids like him that are afflicted by rare conditions in their thoughts and prayers and help do something about it and raise funding, because there’s no funding going to any of these rare conditions.” “I know everyone has a struggle in life, but you can look at Ryan and say hey, if he can fight what he’s going through, you can fight and get through what you’ve got to get through,” Barnes said. “You think you got it tough, spend a day with him, and you’ll see what tough is.” For questions, contact Tuba Alam at 703-627-7971 or soni18ta@gmail.com.
taught at Loudoun County High School from 1995 to 2005 and at Briarwoods High School from 2005 to 2016. Legg was placed on leave after the Maret School made public the investigative report. The reports stated that Loudoun officials—members of Child Protective Services and the County Attorney’s Office—were alerted to allegations of Legg’s alleged misconduct more than a year ago. When asked to confirm that element of the report, Rogers initially cited that claim as an error, but subsequently acknowledged that communication. “I wish to correct my inaccurate statement that Maret School did not contact an Assistant County Attorney in my office,” Rogers wrote in a Sept. 26 email to Loudoun Now. “The September 2019 investigative report prepared for the Maret School accurately states that representatives of the Maret School contacted to one of my Assistant County Attorneys. In December of 2017, the Assistant County
