Supervisors Push for NVTA Funding Fix BY RENSS GREENE

Renss Greene/Loudoun Now

Del. John J. Bell (D-87), Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin), Democratic House of Delegates candidate Mavis Taintor, county Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) and her Republican challenger John Whitbeck, here pictured at a forum in Lucketts, are among the candidates locked in historically expensive races for local and state office in Loudoun.

Candidates Have Raised $6.9M for 2019 BY RENSS GREENE This year’s November elections are on track to be some of Loudoun’s most expensive yet. Four years ago, there were four candidates on the ballot vying to be Loudoun County’s Chairman At Large. Between them, Phyllis Randall, Scott York, Charles King, and Thomas Bellanca spent $548,681 on the race, and Randall won having spent $86,698. This election cycle, Randall’s challenger for the seat, Leesburg attorney and former state Republican Party chairman John Whitbeck, has already raised more than all four 2015 candidates spent combined. And that cost is not restricted to board races. Excluding the nominally non-partisan School Board races, candidates for Board of Supervisors, local constitutional offices and the Virginia General

Assembly in Loudoun have collectively raised $6,863,295, according to the most recent campaign financial disclosure reports. In the races for Board of Supervisors alone, candidates have raised almost $2.3 million. According to the Virginia Public Access Project, incumbent County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) has raised $333,482, and Republican challenger John Whitbeck has raised $557,190, putting contributions toward that race close to $900,000. As of the September filings, Randall’s campaign has $213,639 on hand, and Whitbeck’s has $309,543. Both races have been buoyed by large donations from outside of Loudoun. $261,058 of Whitbeck’s fundraising has come from outside Loudoun—47 percent of his total contributions—and $178,701 of Randall’s contributions—or

54 percent of her total—have come from outside the county. Whitbeck’s largest donors have been the Virginia Republican Victory Fund at $97,500; a political action committee called Loudoun First at $65,000, almost all of that PAC’s donating; and Whitbeck himself at $34,700. Meanwhile, Randall’s largest donors are another political action committee, Better Together, at $30,000, which was mainly funded by MRE LLC and has given almost exclusively to Randall; and Del. John J. Bell (D-87)’s campaign for state Senate at $25,000. Independent candidate for Chairman Bob Ohneiser is not doing any campaign fundraising. Other races are still bringing in large donations, too. Some supervisors fund-

County supervisors and regional elected representatives are gearing up once again to press their case to restore transportation funding from the state. In 2018, the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority, a major planner and funder of regional projects, saw a chunk of it diverted by the General Assembly to instead support Metro. The NVTA is expected to lose out on more than $100 million per year, affecting projects in Loudoun that were scheduled to get some of that money. Last year, a bill to establish new fees and taxes in the Interstate 81 corridor to fund improvements on the highway also included a provision that would distribute some of that revenue—estimated at $20 million a year—to the NVTA. But the region is still coming up short on the local transportation funding that the NVTA was created to collect and allocate. Supervisors at their meeting Oct. 2 authorized County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) to sign on to a letter from the elected heads of Northern Virginia localities calling on Gov. Ralph Northam and the General Assembly to restore all funding to the NVTA, using state money. “We urge you to restore the remaining $82 million in the budget by considering substantial use of state-wide funding sources that would limit additional burden on Northern Virginia taxpayers already paying for extensive transportation projects, including WMATA, in the region,” the letter reads. “This money is critical to ensuring that the region can address critical transportation challenges needed to support economic expansion and growth.” Randall, the current vice chairwoman of the authority, said her own statements would be much stronger. However, supervisors also acknowledged at their meeting that it is unlikely the state will pick up the burden of regional transportation funding—a state responsibility. Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said the region’s leaders and lobbyists should also be working toward

Democrat Tia Walbridge and incumbent Republican Tony Buffington (R-Blue Ridge) debate rural Loudoun preservation methods during the Oct. 3 Blue Ridge District Board of Supervisors debate at the Bush Tabernacle in Purcellville.

Buffington, Walbridge Debate Ideas for Preservation in the Blue Ridge District BY PATRICK SZABO Between bits of controversy surrounding county plans to preserve the rural west and some back-and-forth on campaign contributions, Blue Ridge District residents this week learned a good deal about their incumbent supervisor and his opponent in next month’s election. About 100 western Loudoun residents filed into the Town of Purcellville’s Bush Tabernacle last Thursday night not to roller skate, but to hear from incumbent Republican Tony Buffington and Democratic challenger Tia Walbridge about their views on where the county, and specifically the Blue Ridge District, stands and should be heading following the adoption of a new comprehensive plan for the county. Moderated by Loudoun Now, the Loudoun Times-Mirror and the Coalition of Loudoun Towns, the debate

produced an hour-and-a-half discussion that touched on transfer of development rights programs, Leesburg’s Joint Land Management Area, development outside Purcellville and the source and amount of campaign contributions the candidates have collected. Now a little more than three months since the Board of Supervisors voted to adopt the county’s new comprehensive plan, the candidates were asked what they felt the new plan got right and wrong. Buffington said that, while he and his fellow supervisors preserved the rural west in part by protecting the ridgelines in nearly all of the rural policy area, he said it was a mistake for a majority of his colleagues to vote to transfer about one square mile of land from the county’s Rural Policy Area to the Transition Policy Area.

Walbridge agreed with Buffington on what the plan got right but said it was wrong to adopt the plan without including details on a transfer of development rights program—a program that would allow landowners to sell credits from rural to urban areas, which would protect rural land from development by transferring it to areas where county leaders want higher-density development to occur. “It was such a blow to western Loudoun [to not include that detail in the plan],” she said. Later in the debate, Walbridge additionally pointed out that there are only two lines in the comprehensive plan mentioning such a program, which, she argued, doesn’t meet the legal standard needed for the next board to implement the program as they revise the county’s DEBATE >> 54

Kaine Discusses Health Care, Labor Concerns with Rural Loudouners BY PATRICK SZABO Loudoun’s farmers and rural business owners had the chance last week to have their most pressing concerns addressed on a national level. U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) attended events in Loudoun, Winchester, and Prince William County last week during the Senate recess to discuss issues centered on topics like health care, gun safety and agriculture. On Thursday morning, he visited Hillsboro’s Old Stone School for a Rural Business and Economy Roundtable, then traveled to two Loudoun farms and ended his day at The Vineyards & Winery at Lost Creek. In Hillsboro, Kaine, who in 2018 helped to pass the Farm Bill that defined hemp as an agricultural commodity rather than a controlled substance, sat at the head of a roundtable discussion with 20 rural business owners and was confronted with topics of a decreasing rural labor workforce and broadband service, health care and high land costs in rural

Loudoun. Even more timely was a brief discussion of the town’s Rt. 9 road project, which has sparked resident outcry in recent weeks over plans to have full road closures through town during some periods of construction. Hillsborough Winery, Brewery and Vineyard Owner Kerem Baki asked Kaine how he thought the town should

proceed with its road project, since, according to Baki, many area businesses continue to question the project’s benefit on the town. Baki related Hillsboro’s approach to the project as seeking to do it “faster, cheaper, better.” Kaine noted that Baki had asked him KAINE >> 54

Rt. 9 roundabout coming

More Rt. 9 Changes: Supervisors Sign Off on Rt. 287 Roundabout Design BY RENSS GREENE County supervisors have agreed to a design for a roundabout at the intersection of Rt. 9 and Rt. 287, getting one step closer to acting on one of the most backed-up crossroads in Loudoun. “The light at 287 and Rt. 9, you can sit there for a half hour,” said Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin). The proposed roundabout will have two lanes in each direction on Rt. 9 and one lane in each direction on Rt. 287, which will also mean widening Rt. 9 to four lanes for 0.16 miles to either side. The roundabout will also be built 100 feet east of the existing intersection to allow traffic to continue to flow during construction. Supervisor Tony R. Buffington

(R-Blue Ridge) pointed out that the hybrid design—with two lanes in one direction and one lane in the other— has been done before, at the Gilbert’s Corner intersection of Rt. 15 and Rt. 50, although it was later changed to a one-lane configuration by the Virginia Department of Transportation. Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure Preliminary Engineering Manager (and former VDOT employee) James Zeller said that was because the roundabout “almost worked too well.” “You had very clear lines of sight, very straight approaches in all directions, so during off-peak times like the middle of the day when there wasn’t a whole lot of traffic, motorists were hugging the curves in the roundabout,”

Zeller said, noting that drivers would often speed through the roundabout and cause accidents. The design was shaped in part by efforts to reduce the amount of land disturbance and limited right-of-way the county would have to purchase. Although county staff members and consultants are still working on cost estimates, the project is expected to cost $20 million—more than the $14.5 million already allocated or spent. The last $13.3 million allocation in the existing budget is scheduled for the current fiscal year, meaning the project can move ahead immediately. Supervisors endorsed the design unanimously. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Supervisors Approve Travel-Time Signs for Rt. 50 BY RENSS GREENE Loudoun County supervisors have approved a million-dollar project to put up eight signs displaying travel times for commuter routes along the Rt. 50 corridor. The Virginia Department of Transportation took down its Active Traffic Management system on Interstate 66 when the road was expanded for express lanes and tolling. VDOT kept the electronic signs that used to stand along the interstate, and according to a county report, those signs still have years of use left in them. County transportation staff members plan to erect those signs and new traffic cameras at four spots on or near Rt. 50. The signs will be near Rt. 50’s intersections with Gum Spring Road, Loudoun County Parkway, and near the Fairfax County line, with another sign on Loudoun County Parkway near Evergreen Mills Road. The money comes from the budget

for an existing “Intelligent Transportation System” project, which also targets more traffic camera coverage, integration with Waze, responsive traffic signal timing, and autonomous shuttles. Self-driving shuttles are planned for the Merrifield area in Fairfax County to ferry passengers for free between the Dunn Loring Metro stop and Mo-

saic District. Loudoun County staff members are studying the possibility. The signs will be installed by VOT contractors and controlled from VDOT’s regional Public Safety and Transportation Operations Center, which operates all of the agency’s Intelligent Transportation System systems in Northern Virginia. Its camera feeds will also be sent there for better information about traffic conditions nearby. “I realize that ‘Intelligent Transportation’ and ‘Route 50’ don’t normally belong in the same sentence,” wrote Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) in a Facebook post announcing the vote. He described the project as an “incremental improvement” while he works on a Rt. 50 northern collector/bypass project—a project he proposed in 2018 to build a road connecting Tall Cedars Parkway with Rt. 28 by cutting through Dulles Airport property. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Higgins first announced the initiative during a recent meeting at the Lucketts Community Center on plans for improvements to Rt. 15, which include widening the road, roundabouts, turn lanes, and shoulders. Supervisors approved that 7-0-2, with Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) and Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) absent for the vote. At the same meeting, Higgins withdrew a similar proposal for a walking trail between Hamilton and Purcellville after finding that most of that trail is already in the county’s capital plans.

County supervisors have approved a request from Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) to start looking for options to build a sidewalk between the Lucketts Community Center and the Lucketts Elementary School. Supervisors directed county staff members to research options, costs and funding sources for a walking path between the two spots, which Higgins’s office estimated to be about a 250-foot walk. Currently, students are escorted from the school to the community center for extra-curriculars across an open field between the two. The school is also used for overflow parking for events at the community center, such as the Lucketts

The Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce hosted a speed-dating style event to meet candidates for state office on Tuesday morning. Candidates circulated among tables during a breakfast at the Belmont Country Club, with six minutes at each fielding questions from Chamber members. The event came shortly after the Chamber released its 2019 BizVotes Election Questionnaire, with positions from all the candidates seeking to represent Loudoun in the General Assembly and on the Loudoun Board of Supervisors. The Chamber has conducted its BizVotes Election Education Campaign since 2003 to inform business leaders about the positions held by candidates on the Chamber’s top public policy issues. The 2019 questionnaire focused on perennial issues, such as transportation

and housing affordability, and new ones, like Loudoun’s data center industry. “Loudoun’s voters have the opportunity this November to keep our community and our Commonwealth the nation’s best place to grow a business, develop a career and to raise a family,” stated chamber President Tony Howard. “The BizVotes Election Education Questionnaire can serve as their trusted resources for determining where the candidates that seek to represent our families stand on the issues that will keep Loudoun safe, strong and prosperous.” The questionnaire is online at loudounchamber.org/public-policy/. The chamber has one more big election event coming up this month: The three candidates running for county chairman at large will debate on Oct. 22 at The National Conference Center. Registration is at loudounchamber.org.

Candidates seeking to represent the Catoctin District in Leesburg and Richmond faced off during an Oct. 1 forum at the Lucketts Community Center. The forum, moderated by Priscilla Godfrey and hosted by the Lucketts Ruritan Club, included candidates for the state Senate’s 13th District Del. John J. Bell (D-87) and Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin); candidate for the House of Delegates’ 33rd District Mavis Taintor; incumbent county Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) and challengers John Whitbeck (R) and Bob Ohneiser (I); candidates for the Catoctin District on the Board of Supervisors Forest Hayes (D), Caleb Kershner (R) and Sam Kroiz (I); and Commissioner of the Revenue Bob Wertz (R) and his challenger Sri Amudhanar. Taintor’s challenger, incumbent Del. Dave A. LaRock (R-33), did not attend. Senate hopeful Higgins stood out among all other candidates by calling on the General Assembly to challenge the scientific consensus around climate change. “I think that it’s incumbent on the Senate and the House in Virginia to exam-

ine the science and look at the science. I would have to disagree with my opponent that the science is conclusive,” Higgins said, to jeering from the audience. Higgins said, “we’ve had hurricanes as long as man has been alive. We’ve had rain events as long as man has been alive.” No other candidate attending denied the prevailing scientific consensus around climate change, nor humans’ impact on it. Higgins’ opponent, Bell, said one of the questions he was asked before winning the Farm Bureau’s endorsement was about climate change. “I was shocked, and I said, well I took my granddaughter to get her inoculations for school yesterday, so I believe in medical science. I flew in an airplane a couple days ago, so I certainly believe in physics, and I believe that we have to believe in science,” Bell said. “We have smart people and we know the climates are changing, and what are we going to do about it? I think we have to do something.” Taintor said she has seen the impacts on her own farmland. Randall pointed to initiatives she has brought during her term on the board, such as requiring electric vehicle charging stations at public LUCKETTS >> 7

facilities and revisiting a county energy policy from 2008. “As a logical human being, I believe in global climate change, and that people are responsible. As a Christian, I believe that God gave us this earth to take care of, and we’re not doing a very good job. As the chair of the county, I’ve put a couple things forth right here in Loudoun County,” Randall said. Randall’s Republican challenger, Whitbeck, said he lives with “three experts in protecting the environment.” “My three little girls, it’s a big issue to them,” Whitbeck said. “Protecting our environment is more than just banning plastic straws—it’s about the right land use policies in Loudoun County. That’s what the Board of Supervisors does.” He pointed out that during this board’s term, for the first time, the boundary of the county’s Rural Policy Area changed to move more land into the Transition Policy Area. The independent candidate, Ohneiser, said “after being in Alaska there’s no doubt whatsoever that we have something happening” and said improvements in efficiency would be important, such as improving efficiency in bus routes. “Talking about it, yelling at the television with all the national crap we have to put up with, doesn’t solve the problem,” Ohneiser said. “The school system is an example where the lack of efficiency is making this worse.” Candidates faced questions both from the moderator and submitted from the audience, starting with a question posed to each about what they believe was the biggest issue facing the office they seek. Amudhanar said he wants to help people be aware of the opportunities through the office of the Commissioner of the Revenue and help them own a home in Loudoun’s expensive housing market. The incumbent, Wertz, said the most important issue facing the office is keeping up with Loudoun’s rapid growth and assessing all those new homes and businesses fairly for taxation. In the Catoctin District, Independent Kroiz said “keeping rural Loudoun rural is the most important thing for our district.” “Really, it’s the number one through five, or one through ten issues, because all of our biggest problems are driven by housing growth,” Kroiz said. “High taxes, traffic, overcrowded schools.” Republican Kershner said the main job is to look out for residents’ quality of life—touching on taxes, preserving small schools, protecting rural spaces, and addressing traffic. “As a former prosecutor, I’ve been to far too many fatalities, and if we can get individuals home safer and sooner, then we have improved their quality of life,” Kershner said. Hayes said he is “running a campaign not about party ideology, but about hyper-local issues.” “That’s why my first act upon being elected will be to fix Rt. 15 by expediting and starting improvements that have already been approved for phase one, and finally, finally break ground in 2020,” Hayes said. “I would favor roundabouts over traffic lights and leave the Village of Lucketts undisturbed.” The county’s capital plans call for wid-

ening Rt. 15 to four lanes from Leesburg to Montresor Road south of Lucketts, with funding beginning July 2020, and widening the road and adding improvements such as roundabouts, turn lanes, and shoulders from Montresor Road to the Point of Rocks Bridge with funding for engineering beginning July 2021. Ohneiser said the chairman’s office should be treated as a full-time job focused on fairness and efficiency. “I keep myself busy, I get into details, I prepare for meetings,” Ohneiser said. “The chairman of the Board of Supervisors needs to know how to analyze problems, define problems and work towards solutions.” Whitbeck echoed that the job is to protect the quality of life in Loudoun. That means building more roads—“but we have to have policies that actually get cars off the road”—expanding broadband access, and buying more land into public parks. “Less than 2 percent of our public land is parks,” Whitbeck said. “We ought to do a little bit better than that in Loudoun County so we can enjoy the open space that we have.” Randall, meanwhile, agreed that the job is about quality of life, and pointed to the board’s records during her term, such as not approving any new housing development in western Loudoun, expanding full-day kindergarten to every Loudoun student, and allocating “over half a billion dollars into building roads” and a need to focus on other transportation options. “We’re doing all these things, and will continue to do these things,” Randall said. Taintor, the Democrat for state delegate, said expanding access to healthcare is her first priority, telling a personal story of her son dealing with addiction. “I want to get to Richmond because I have a son who struggled with mental illness all his life, and ultimately died of a heroin overdose,” Taintor said. “And I want to get to Richmond so that I can make sure that other families don’t have to walk down the same road.” Higgins, the Republican candidate for state Senate, said he hopes to win more funding for transportation, schools, and public safety, while simultaneously lowering taxes. “We’ve raised $1.5 billion, $1.2 billion for roads that was not in the [Capital Improvement Program] before, and we have funded public safety and brought a new park to Loudoun County, so these are the kinds of things that are important to people,” Higgins said. Bell said the most pressing issue is gun violence, pointing to repeated instances of bullets leaving private property and striking other homes and, in one case, a woman. He also said he would work to address the high costs of medicine, including the costs of prescription medicine for senior citizens. “I believe in the Second Amendment, but I also believe in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and if you want to have a cookout in your own backyard without worrying about getting shot, that’s something we can do,” Bell said. The forum was the first of two for candidates for public office in Lucketts. A second, moderated by Loudoun Now, will be held Tuesday, Oct. 15. Candidates for sheriff, county treasurer, commonwealth’s attorney and the School Board have been invited to participate.

Fundraising << FROM 1 raise throughout their term or carry over balances from previous races. Supervisor Suzanne M. Volpe (R-Algonkian) has raised $220,997 since the beginning of 2016, entering the 2019 race with $155,182 already in the bank. She has continued to fundraise—and spend—since then, and as of the September deadline had $137,911 on hand. That meant her challenger, Democrat Juli Briskman, began her campaign fundraising more than $150,000 behind the incumbent. Briskman has raised $106,650 and has $63,389 on hand. Some of the other biggest fundraisers in the race have also been Democrats—Blue Ridge District hopeful Tia Walbridge has raised $151,764, rolling over less than $3,000 from her previous campaign for the House of Delegates; and Catoctin District hopeful Forest Hayes has raised $181,066. But across the races for Board of Supervisors, Republicans have outraised Democrats by a close margin, $1.19 million to $1.05 million—less than the difference in the race for chairman. While local races bring in large sums, they do not compare to state races. With redistricting looming, Republicans only two seats ahead of Democrats in both chambers of the Virginia General Assembly, and any number of

hot-button issues to be decided at the state level, almost every candidate for a state office has brought in hundreds of thousands of dollars. Among House of Delegates and Senate districts with large swaths in Loudoun, 15 candidates have brought in more than $4 million. In those races, Democrats have handily outraised Republicans overall, bringing in $2.5 million to Republicans’ $1.5 million. The biggest fundraiser is current state delegate and candidate for state Senate John J. Bell (D-87). He has raised $747,971, starting his campaign with $10,092 from his House of Delegates campaign committee. His largest donors have been the Brambleton Group at $70,000; and major Democratic donor and investor Michael Bills, known for helping to finance candidates who swear off donations from Dominion Energy, at $50,000. Bell’s opponent, current county Supervisor Geary M. Higgins (R-Catoctin), has raised $425,015. Higgins brought in $19,965 from his Board of Supervisors campaign fund, and his largest donors have been the super PAC Conservatives for Effective Government at $30,000; the Virginia Senate Republican Caucus at $23,472; and his wife, Gail Higgins, at $20,823. In 2015, that race cost incumbent Sen. Richard H. Black (R-13) $848,985, and his unsuccessful challenger Jill McCabe $1,668,014. But the second-biggest fundraiser

<< FROM 8 this year in state races is one of Bell’s former Republican colleagues in the House of Delegates, Randy Minchew, who lost his seat to Del. Wendy W. Gooditis (D-10) in 2017 and is now seeking a rematch. According to campaign finance reports, Minchew never dissolved his campaign committee and entered 2018 with $15,717. He has raised $514,653 since the beginning of 2018. His largest donor by far has been Springfield-based real estate management firm Westview Associates at $100,000; followed by Speaker of the House Kirk Cox (R-66)’s Colonial Leadership Trust PAC at $55,786; and Leesburg-based property management firm Court-

house Corner Associates, which also donated $25,000 to the Colonial Leadership Trust PAC, at $51,250. Gooditis began 2018 with $13,375 in the bank and has raised $441,050. Her biggest donors have been Bills, at $30,000, followed by Democratic group Win Virginia at $26,150 and the House Democratic Caucus at $23,833. In 2017, Minchew spent $259,063 on that race, while Gooditis spent $493,761. Now coming into the home stretch of the campaign season, there is still furious fundraising to be done—and serious spending. Collectively, those local and state candidates have $3.5 million in the bank, meaning plenty more commercials, mailers, and road signs still to come. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Attendees at last week’s Legacy Leesburg exercise voiced their opinions on the preferred “looks” of future developments; what types of park, recreation or amenity spaces the town should have; and their top wishes for the town.

Town Debuts ‘Hands On’ Town Plan Process BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ With the ink on Loudoun County’s newly adopted general plan just dry, the Town of Leesburg is embarking on its own comprehensive plan re-write. Leesburg’s public input process on revisions to its Town Plan kicked off in earnest last Wednesday evening, with the debut of its Legacy Leesburg initiative that encouraged residents and business owners to roll up their sleeves and engage in some interactive exercises to share their opinions of how the future of Virginia’s largest town should look. As town leaders look to update the plan, the county seat stands at almost full build out, with a soaring population, resurgent downtown area, and growing commercial base. The Town Plan addresses community development policies not only for the area within the town limits, but also the Joint Land Management Area and policy planning areas within the county. It’s an aspirational document, town

staff underscore, with long-range goals designed to guide Leesburg in realizing its vision for the future. The two public input sessions Oct. 2, which in total brought together more than 100 community members, included exercises where attendees could voice their opinions on the preferred “looks” of future developments; what types of park, recreation or amenity spaces the town should have; and their top wishes for the town. Among the recurring themes were the need to preserve green space; slow down or stop growth; and offer more affordable housing options. Acknowledging that not everyone will attend a public input session, town staff members and the consultants hired to help guide the plan re-write process also debuted On the Table, a process that will engage stakeholder opinion by the public’s terms. With On the Table, residents are encouraged to gather five to 10 friends or colleagues together, either at someone’s home or at a restaurant or bar, and share

their visions for Leesburg’s future in a roundtable discussion. That feedback is then shared back with town staff and consultants. On the Table sessions should occur within the month of October. The public is also invited to share opinions on the legacy.leesburgva.gov website, which has been created for residents to follow the Town Plan update process. In terms of next steps, the public will also be invited to drop in on an intensive five-day planning workshop, where consultants and town staff will work from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Nov. 7-12 at Ida Lee Park Recreation Center. That will also include meetings before both the Planning Commission and Town Council, project manager Rich Klusek said.

Vintner Prepares for Oct. 19 Exit BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ Since news broke of his retirement and the planned closure of the Leesburg Vintner wine shop, Mike Carroll has seen an outpouring of gratitude and affection from loyal customers over the Vintner’s 30-plus years. Now, the shop’s days are numbered, and Carroll has announced that Oct. 19 will be its curtain call. “It’s been an emotional few weeks and the feedback from our customers has been beyond anything I ever expected,” Carroll said this week. “It’s all good! It’s getting close to being over, but the memories will last forever.” Curtis Allred, proprietor of nearby Delirium Cafe USA and also the future tenant of the Vintner Space, with his Cake or Death shop set to open by year’s

end at the King and Loudoun corner, will host a retirement party for Carroll. From 4-7 p.m. Oct. 20, Delirium will hold an open house with hors d’ouerves and wine and a cash bar available. As he draws closer to retirement, Carroll shares one exchange with a customer that made an impact on him. “A customer came in the other day and said, ‘Mike, you did it right. You made a difference in downtown Leesburg’,” Carroll said. “That meant a lot to me. I told him, ‘Downtown Leesburg made a difference to me.’ I am blessed and very fortunate the way the last 31 years have gone and [that] we can go out this way.” Norman K.

A groundbreaking for one of Leesburg’s most long-awaited road projects will be held next week. Elected representatives and state transportation leaders will break ground on the Rt. 7/Battlefield Parkway interchange project at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 15. The Northern Virginia Transportation Authority has provided $58 million in funding for the project, which, in addition to the construction of a grade-separated interchange at the intersection of Rt. 7 and Battlefield, will also remove the traffic light at the Rt. 7/Cardinal Park Drive intersection. That intersection will have right-in, right-out access only once construction is completed. The project is estimated to cost more than $77 million in total, and is financed with federal, state, town, county and NVTA funding. Estimated completion is eyed for fall 2021. Those who wish to attend the groundbreaking should park at the Marketplace at Potomac Station shopping center. The public is also invited to a “pardon our dust” meeting from 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 17, at John W. Tolbert Elementary School, located at 691 Potomac Station Dr. in Leesburg, when contractors will go over what to expect during the two-year construction project.

Police Appreciation Day Scheduled for Oct. 17 The 5th Annual Police Appreciation Day is set for Thursday, Oct. 17. The town will place blue ribbons on trees in front of a number of town buildings and parks. Residents, schools, and businesses are encouraged to show their support by tying blue ribbons around trees in their yards or on their mailboxes and wearing blue as an additional sign of support and appreciation. Members of the public are also invited to write thank you notes or letters of encouragement and drop them off at the police department, located at 65 Plaza Street NE, for all department staff to enjoy. “Leesburg is fortunate to have such an outstanding police department,” stated Mayor Kelly Burk. “This is the least we can do to celebrate the brave men and women who stand behind the thin blue line and put their community first.” Since the town first began the annual tradition, Police Appreciation Day has traditionally been celebrated on the third Thursday of October. The Town Council will recognize the annual event with a proclamation at its next meeting, Tuesday, Oct. 15. BRIEFS >> PB

Skatepark Sculpture Unveiled Leesburg’s newest piece of public art not only celebrates the high-flying freedoms of skateboarding, but also will stand in testament to the value of perseverance. The 13-foot-tall sculpture by Jeff Hall was erected at the entrance to the town’s skatepark along Catoctin Circle, and depicts seven skaters, cyclists and skateboarders in action, including Eric Brown, who has a 15-year-old led the lobbying effort to establish the town’s first skate park in 1998. The new skate park, which opened in 2017, is named in his honor. “The moral of this story is that it doesn’t matter how young you are, how

old you are—if there is something pulling, some call in your heart, instead of making excuses to not do it, make excuses to do it,” Brown said on Saturday. The project was coordinated by the town’s Commission on Public and the Friends of Leesburg Public Arts and commissioned by Doris Kidder and Barbara Wilson, and made possible by the contributions of several town businesses. “This is just the beginning of something that is going to make Leesburg so special and so unique and just a wonderful place to live and to work and play,” Mayor Kelly Burk said of the art project. nstyer@loudounnow.com

Winter Wheat with a Strong STEM at LCDS With Lower School STEM teacher Robin Peacemaker putting her agronomy degree to work on the project, Loudoun Country Day School’s garden lab won’t be going dormant this winter. Peacemaker took over coordination of the garden this year and now has teamed up with Virginia Tech to help her students conduct some new experiments to determine the best winter grains to be grown in Loudoun’s climate. While each year teachers do most of the weeding and harvesting in the garden, which features tomatoes and other crops and flowers, Peacemaker saw the opportunity for students to become more hands-on. “I wanted to plant some winter crops. Farmers plant a lot of winter crops because they want to keep the soil from eroding and to grow feed for

their animals. So, I decided we are going to plant winter wheat,” she said. She reached out to agronomy professor Carl Griffey in Blacksburg for suggestions, who responded almost immediately with a desire to help her develop a STEM-based exercise for the winter garden. Students weeded and composted two of the lab’s raised beds and last week planted varieties of wheat, oats and barley and seeds sent from Virginia Tech and LSU. Through the winter growing season, they’ll be monitoring the growth of each plant and recording the difference in their development. Peacemaker said it has been a fun exercise for the students. “Children don’t get dirty anymore,” she said. “I had my seventh-grade girls come out here digging in the dirt and they were like, ‘This is so satisfying.’”

[ SCHOOL NOTES ] After Recess Push, Class Break Schedule Approved The Loudoun County School Board voted unanimously as part of its untested consent agenda Tuesday to approve a policy for short unstructured breaks in middle and high schools. Under the policy, those students will get a minimum of 10 minutes of unstructured break time every other day. The action followed nine months of lobbying by a group of parents and students who touted research showing that providing breaks throughout the school day improves student performance, reduces discipline problems, and aids in overall physical and mental wellness. The group, More Recess for Loudoun County, also worked with the School Board last year to double recess time in grades K-5. “The need for breaks throughout the day doesn’t magically disappear when a child turns eleven years old,” Ian Serotkin, the leader of More Recess for Loudoun County who also is running for the Blue Ridge District seat on the School Board, said during at a recent school board meeting advocating for this change. Recommendations on recess and unstructured breaks have been made by

national expert agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and SHAPE America.

Registration Opens for March Step Up Competition Registration will open Tuesday for the Step Up Loudoun Youth Competition. Held annually since 2010, the program is sponsored by Loudoun Youth Inc. in partnership with Loudoun County Parks, Recreation & Community Services and challenges individuals and teams to create and implement plans to address community issues.

Facing a December deadline to complete their work, members of the Loudoun school division’s ad-hoc Committee on Equity agree they’ll need more time to adequately address the concerns and devise new policies that ensure equitable treatment among all students. The 24-member panel of educators and community leaders voted unanimously during its Oct. 3 meeting to request the extension. It will be up to the School Board to determine whether the committee will continue past December. The panel was created by the School Board in March in response to strong public criticism led by representatives of the Loudoun chapter of the NAACP who claimed that little was being done to combat racist behavior or address systemic inequities. In addition to creating the committee to delve into the concerns, the board commissioned a comprehensive assessment to better understand the concerns about equity and racism among students, teachers and parents. That report was release in June and found a “hostile learning environment” where students faced no consequences for hateful actions. The next goal for the ad-hoc committee is to create a new, overarching policy to ensure equity throughout the school system. That is expected to take several meetings to complete, but even after that, committee members said there will still

Grant Supports Loudoun Valley Viking Theater For the second consecutive year, the Purcellville Arts Council awarded Loudoun Valley High School Viking Theatre a grant to establish a community-driven outdoor performance experience and venue located in one of the school’s courtyards. Last year, Viking Theatre used a town grant to build a permanent outdoor stage. This year, the school will add to the stage, purchase outdoor lighting and sound equipment, and expand its marketing in hopes of drawing more of the community. It’s also planning its third annual Shakespeare Under the Stars production.

The Arts Council awards the grants in partnership with the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. A Wolf Trap grant for high school performing arts teachers will add to the Shakespeare Under the Stars outdoor performance space. The Wolf Trap grant is given to a limited number of exemplary high school performing arts groups, ranging from visual art, to music, dance and theatre. Loudoun Valley’s grant will focus on the free outdoor performance opportunities for the community and professional vocal development for all department members. The Loudoun Valley High School Theatre Department will partner with faculty members at Virginia Commonwealth University to provide professional voice and speech coaching, dialect training, and individual feedback sessions.

Judge Outlines Final Rules Leading into Sierra Wrongful Death Trial BY PATRICK SZABO Attorneys engaged in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Christian Alberto Sierra, the 17-year-old Purcellville resident who was shot and killed by a Purcellville Police officer in 2014, now know what they’ll be allowed to argue and who they’ll be allowed to call to the witness stand when the six-day trial begins Oct. 28. Circuit Court Judge James Howe Brown, Jr. ruled Tuesday that Julia Judkins, the municipal law attorney repre-

senting former Purcellville Police officer Timothy Hood, would be allowed to use multiple affirmative defenses during the trial. He also clarified that certain expert witness testimony would be allowed and that neither Judkins, nor Thomas Plofchan, the attorney representing the Sierra family, would be allowed to use the phrase “general orders” or the word “suicide” in their comments in front of the jury. On May 24, 2014, Sierra, then a junior at Loudoun Valley High School, cut himself with a 3-inch paring knife and

threatened to kill himself outside his Frazer Drive home. Hood responded to the scene following a 2:14 p.m. 911 call. According to case documents, Hood knew the call was made for a mentally ill resident who was threatening suicide. When he arrived on the scene, he drove 40 feet past Sierra, got out of his car, drew his gun, pointed it at Sierra and yelled for Sierra to put the knife down. Sierra stood up and moved toward Hood, who then fired four rounds into Sierra’s chest at point-blank range. Moments later, medical teams attempted reviving Sierra, but soon pronounced him dead on the scene. Sierra’s parents, Edwardo and Sandra, subsequently filed a civil lawsuit against Hood, then-town Police Chief Darryl Smith and the Town of Purcellville for $10.24 million for “sorrow, mental anguish and solace which include society, companionship, comfort, guidance, kindly offices and advice of Christian” and “reasonable funeral expenses.” They also sued for $1 million in punitive damages. According to Brown’s ruling this week, Judkins can argue that there was probable cause for Hood to use deadly force because Sierra had threatened bodily harm; that Sierra was contributorily negligent for approaching Hood with a knife; that Sierra’s parents were contributorily negligent in discontinuing their son’s psychiatric treatment leading up to his death; and that Sierra assumed the risk of being shot and killed when he approached Hood with a knife. Plofchan argued that probable cause wasn’t an appropriate affirmative defense to use of deadly force because Hood wasn’t investigating a crime, but was responding to a call related to a potentially suicidal teen. He also argued that contributory negligence shouldn’t be a defense because it can’t be used in cases involving gross negligence. He argued

that Hood was grossly negligent in his actions. Brown also ruled that neither Plofchan nor Judkins would be allowed to use the phrase “general orders” during the trial because, he said, the Purcellville Police Department General Orders are intended for internal use only and should not be used to set standards of care. While Plofchan said he intended to use the general orders in his argument as being indicative of the standard of care Hood should have practiced and not the actual standard of care, Judkins argued that Plofchan shouldn’t be allowed to use the general orders in his argument that Hood lacked prudence in his actions. “My client’s conduct should be judged by [the conduct of] a reasonable police officer,” she said. Brown also ruled that neither party would be allowed to use the word “suicide” during the trial, but that Judkins could use the phrase “suicide by cop” if she first lays a proper foundation to do so. He noted that “suicide” should not be used as a synonym for “kill himself.” Plofchan argued that “suicide by cop” shouldn’t be used at all during the trial because it “invites improper speculation” as to Sierra’s mindset and because of its legal relevance—suicide is a crime in Virginia. He emphasized that witnesses are not allowed to use a conclusion of law when testifying in a civil case. While Judkins said she didn’t plan to solicit her witnesses to use the phrase, she argued that she should at least be allowed to use it in her closing argument. On the topic of witnesses, Brown opted to not rule on a request by Plofchan to disallow expert testimony from multiple law enforcement officers, including the two Virginia State Police special agents who investigated the shooting and two Northern Virginia Criminal SIERRA >> 17

Fatal Sterling Townhouse Fire Under Investigation The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office is investigating the cause of fatal house fire in Sterling early Sunday morning. Just before 3 a.m., Oct. 6, county dispatchers received calls reporting the fire in a townhouse on Giles Place and that someone might be trapped inside. Fire and rescue crews from Cascades, Kincora, Sterling Park, Ashburn, Leesburg, and Fairfax County responded to the scene. Firefighters arrived to find heavy smoke and fire and initiated a second alarm for assistance. Emergency crews found one adult resident outside suffering from burn injuries. That patient was transported by ambulance to the Burn Center at MedStar Washington Hospital for treatment of injuries described as non-life threatening. Inside, firefighters continued searching for additional occupants and found a man who they then brought outside for advanced life support care from paramedics. The victim was transported to a

Man Hospitalized After Bout with Police Dog A California man was hospitalized last week following a period of disorderly conduct that ended with bites from a Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office dog. According to the report, deputies were called to the National Conference Center by the campus security staff just before 1 p.m. Oct. 3 because a man in town for training had been behaving erratically. A Sheriff ’s Office K-9 unit was the first to arrive on the scene. The man reportedly approached the cruiser and attempted to open the rear door where the dog was kenneled.

The deputy was able stop the man from opening the door, but he then “aggressively approached” the deputy and disregarded commands to back away. In response, the deputy released the dog and apprehended the suspect. The suspect sustained injuries described as non-life-threatening from the dog and was transported to the hospital for treatment. Oscar G. Castillo-Duarte, 29, of California was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer and disorderly conduct.

Justice Academy instructors. Brown said he couldn’t definitively rule on the request without evidence, which the trial will present. “I can’t rule in a vacuum on that,” he said. Plofchan argued that expert testimony from the state’s investigators shouldn’t be allowed because they would ultimately reconstruct the May 2014 shooting. He pointed to “accident reconstruction,” which Virginia has, in almost all cases, disallowed in the courtroom. He also argued that expert testimony from Sgt. Todd Markley, the criminal justice academy’s use of force supervisor, and Jay LaLuz, the academy’s firearms and control tactics specialist, would “improperly influence the jury” because

it would focus on general training that the academy provides cadets and not the actual training Hood received. But Judkins argued that jurors, who aren’t trained in law enforcement practices, need experts to explain how cadets learn to handle real life situations. Brown said the court would need to bring in more potential jurors than what’s normally required when making a final jury selection, since the incident has garnered substantial media attention in the past five years and many of the potential jurors are likely to have read about it. Brown ended the three-hour hearing by telling Judkins and Plofchan that he hoped they’ll find a way to settle the case before the trial is set to begin.

Doubled Budget Opens Doors, Raises Challenges for LAWS BY RENSS GREENE In the past five years, the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter has more than doubled its budget. And there is always more to do for Loudoun’s federally- and state-designated domestic violence and sexual assault crisis center. According to Executive Director Judy Hanley, LAWS, or the Loudoun Abused Women’s Shelter, entered 2015 with a staff of 30 people, including 11 full-timers, and a budget of $1.25 million. This year, LAWS expects to have 37 employees, 24 of them fulltime, and a budget of nearly $2.69 million. That comes in large part because the federal government started making sure that money paid into a victims fund set up by the 1984 Victims of Crime Act, actually found its way to victims services, Hanley said. The United States Crime Victims Fund is financed by fees paid by convicted federal offenders, but the money was not finding its way into communities. “The Commonwealth of Virginia had to make a plan on how to distribute the funding, in what way, over what period of time,” Hanley said. That meant a huge budget bump for LAWS—but that came with more strings attached. “With that huge increase, it meant that we also now had to do things the way the federal government dictates,” Hanley said. “We were a nonprofit in Loudoun for 32 years where we were not heavily federally-funded, so we

could make our own rules about who we serve, when we serve them—there was a lot of flexibility. Now, we are paid by the federal government, the state government, and the local government to carry out these services, and when you become a contractor of those three, you have a lot of rules and requirements.” That meant new human resources structures and some reorganizing, and this year the nonprofit also got another boost—and vote of confidence—in the form of a $50,000 grant from the Claude Moore Foundation. The money also means LAWS can do more of the many things it does for the community—because the nonprofit does more than operate a women’s domestic violence shelter. LAWS also offers a 24-hour domestic violence and sexual assault crisis hotline staffed by trained advocates for domestic violence and sexual assault services, including legal services; youth and children’s services and the Child Advocacy Center; and teen violence prevention and community outreach. “We are not only the domestic violence agency. We are not only the sexual assault agency. We also have the Child Advocacy Center and we have a legal team,” Hanley said. “There’s no other entity in the Commonwealth of Virginia that has all four of those.” It’s not even just for women. “We actually served 92 male victims

last year, and that doesn’t include male children,” Hanley said. It also means LAWS can pursue new projects, launched with the help of the Claude Moore Foundation grant. Among those is helping victims who escape abusive homes stay away from them. “The fact that we have so little housing that is affordable, and our transportation system is not great,” Hanley said. “If you’re a two-income household and you want to leave your domestic violence situation, it’s very difficult to live in Loudoun County on a single income, especially if you don’t have access to transportation.” That has meant that about 60 percent of the people LAWS brings into the shelter can’t then transition to someplace safer—they end up back at the same home. The nonprofit is both looking into launching a capital campaign to build a new shelter closer to transportation resources, and working to help victims either find a new home, or find transportation to someplace outside Loudoun where they can be safe, such as with family. The funding also means the nonprofit can take care of its own employees and volunteers. “The work that we do is super intense, and we have to be trauma-informed, but sometimes staff working with trauma victims all day long, they need to have that clinical support themselves,” Hanley said. “Now we’re

hiring a deputy director who hopefully has a licensed clinical social worker degree, who’s trauma-informed and trained, to lower the secondary trauma or induced trauma to staff.” But even a huge funding windfall can come with its own risks. “If the federal government decides that funding victims is no longer a priority—we are now 73 percent funded with federal funds,” Hanley said. “If that went away, it would be a real catastrophe for our community.” The nonprofit isn’t just waiting around and hoping. Among their many projects was hiring Kelly Blanks, the nonprofit’s first development director. She is leading the charge out into the community to try to bring the nonprofit to at least a 50/50 funding balance and give LAWS a little more safety margin if the federal government takes that money away. Hanley said while LAWS is wellknown in the community, there is still outreach to be done to let people know they’re here to help. “I really feel that a lot of our residents don’t know how much we can help them, and it is a huge problem, both nationwide and in our county,” Hanley said. “And there’s so many more ways we need to serve our clients.” Find out more about LAWS, incorporated as Loudoun Citizens for Social Justice, at lcsj.org. rgreene@loudounnow.com

The glass ceiling on the new visitor screening center at the Washington Monument offers views of the 555-foot-tall obelisk and the surrounding historic sites.

Alpha Corp. Completes Multi-Year Washington Monument Upgrades Visitors have returned to the top of the Washington Monument, and Loudoun-based Alpha Corporation was a big part of the two-year project to construct a visitor screening center and modernize the elevator. “Incorporating modern structures with historic structures is always challenging, particularly on such a notable site like the Washington Monument, but it’s also what makes projects like this so rewarding because we know the Washington Monument is an important part of our capital and our country,” stated company President Kathleen Linehan. “When you’re renovating an historic site, it’s important to provide sensitive treatment during construction, like when we excavated for the new visitor screening facility, it had to be carefully constructed so as to avoid any impacts to the historic foun-

dation of the monument.” Alpha Corporation’s work focused on upgrades of the mechanical and technological components of the elevator to provide increased reliability and service life, construction of a geothermal heating and cooling system for the new visitor screening facility, and construction of the new visitor screening center. Visitors now view a video describing the history of the monument on their 500-foot ride up. The screening facility replaces the previous, temporary structure with an architectural entrance better matching the monument. The glass structure also allows visitors to continue to have views of the Washington Monument, as well as the National Mall, Smithsonian Institution Museums and the Capitol Building as they move through the screening line.

Dominion, MWAA Eye Solar Farm at Dulles Airport Dominion Energy Virginia and the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority have announced plans to explore the development of a 100-megawatt solar energy project on approximately 1,200 acres at Dulles International Airport. Dominion Energy has signed a sublease with MWAA to begin feasibility studies for the project. Electricity generated from the solar project would connect to Dominion Energy’s existing transmission line located on airport property. A solar project of this size could power 25,000 homes at peak output and would be one of the largest solar facilities in Northern Virginia. “We are thrilled to partner with the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority on this ambitious, renewable-energy project. More than 24 million passengers flying through Dulles each year will witness the sun’s energy being used to generate clean energy for Virginians,” stated Keith Windle,

vice president business development & merchant operations, Dominion Energy. “Partnering with Dominion Energy on this important project will give us the data and tools we need to determine the role that solar energy can play at a major international airport now and in the future,” stated Airport Manager Mike Stewart. “This project fits well with the Airports Authority’s goal of enhancing the sustainability and environmental performance of our facilities.” Dominion Energy has filed an application with PJM, the regional transmission organization that coordinates the electrical grid in all or parts of 13 states and the District of Columbia, to interconnect the project to the transmission grid. The new facility could come online as early as 2023 and would be part of Dominion Energy’s goal to reduce carbon dioxide emissions 55 percent by 2030 and would bring the company one-fourth of the way to its goal of having 3,000 megawatts of wind and solar in operation or under development by 2022.

Final Constitution Series Talk to Discuss Census

Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now

Two Confederate re-enactors take aim at the Union Army atop a ridgeline as the troops in blue advance their position on the outnumbered south in the Battle of Third Winchester.

The Civil War Lives Again in Lovettsville BY PATRICK SZABO About 1,200 men left their lives in the tech age last weekend to put on an explosive, emotionally heightened and smoke-filled re-enactment of a couple of the region’s most important Civil War battles. Hundreds of residents gathered at the edge of a field near Lovettsville on Saturday and Sunday to watch re-enactments of the Battle of Third Winchester and the Battle of Fisher’s Hill—the battles that opened the door for Union Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan to scorch the earth throughout the Shenandoah Valley. Put on by Rear Rank Productions with ticket sales benefitting the Shenandoah Valley Battlefields Foundation’s preservation of the “West Woods” at the Third Winchester Battlefield Park, the

weekend’s re-enactments saw smaller and shorter displays of battles that devastated the Confederate Army. Re-enactors not only came close to spectators, who viewed the battlefield through binoculars and cameras and sometimes plugged their ears at the sound of cannon fire tearing through northern Loudoun’s hillsides, but they also marched around them, as if the crowd were a patch of trees they had to navigate. On Sept. 19, 1864, Confederate Maj. Gen. Jubal Early advanced his 15,200 troops toward the 39,240-troop Union Army, led by Sheridan. Forcing a Union retreat early on, the Confederates were eventually pushed back toward Winchester, handing an important victory to the Union. About 5,000 Union and 3,600 Confederate soldiers

died that day. Two days later, Sheridan, under orders from Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, secured another victory against Early’s division 20 miles south near Strasburg in the Battle of Fisher’s Hill—a battle that saw about 500 Union and 1,200 Confederate troops killed. Early’s retreat farther into the Shenandoah Valley opened the region to Sheridan’s “scorched earth” campaign, which saw Union forces destroy military and civilian communities from Winchester to Staunton. Before and after the re-enactments, visitors also mingled with re-enactors dressed in period garb and shopped for Union and Confederate clothing and accessories. pszabo@loudounnow.com

One Family Brewing Plans Lovettsville Location BY PATRICK SZABO The Town of Lovettsville has restaurants, bars and dozens of well-attended town events, but it’s missing the one thing it needs to pair perfectly with its annual Oktoberfest—a brewery. By 2021, that should change. In February, entrepreneur David Keuhner purchased a 27-acre property along Berlin Turnpike immediately southeast of the town limits to build an 8,000-10,000-square-foot brewery called One Family Brewing—named for the togetherness residents experience when sitting around the table talking, laughing and crying with each other. Once completed within the next two years, Keuhner plans to brew stouts, lagers and all sorts of ales made from crops grown onsite. He also

wants to brew a Lovettsville Oktoberfest beer for the annual celebration, open a farm-to-table restaurant and install Northern Virginia’s first Gold Star Memorial to honor the families of fallen soldiers. While Keuhner’s idea to open a brewery in Loudoun began last year, his experience in the food and beverage industry began years ago, having run multiple Ruth’s Chris Steak Houses in the 1990s and generally been involved in the beer and wine industry for a while. Keuhner, a 17-year county resident, said he worked for three or four months with the county’s Economic Development Department to find land suitable for a farm brewery before coming across the Lovettsville property. He said that once he stood at the

property gate along Berlin Turnpike and glanced over the fields of soybean, he said to himself, “yeah, this is it.” He’s now focused on building a farm brewery on seven acres of land at the highest point of the property near the New Jerusalem Lutheran Church. That brewery, he said, will look similar to the farm at the Shadow Creek wedding and event venue in Purcellville and will feature a large, elongated farm table that stretches down the middle of the bottom floor and individual seating out coves on the second floor. Aside from the sense of togetherness he’s trying to promote, Keuhner said breweries and wineries in the area are missing an essential element to their operations—food. He said that while ONE FAMILY >> 23

The Town of Hillsboro will hold the final installment of its three-part Eat, Drink and Be Literary! lecture series on the U.S. Constitution at 7 p.m. this Friday, Oct. 11 in the Old Stone School. Harvard Law School graduate and Constitutional scholar Ben Lenhart will give an hour-long talk entitled “The Right to Vote: The Census and Citizens United,” which will describe the process of counting all U.S. citizens every 10 years, which ultimately leads to representative districts getting realigned. Lenhart will discuss how those district realignments impact future elections. He’ll also talk about the 2010 Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission case, in which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that laws preventing corporations and unions from using money to fund political advertisements were unconstitutional. Doors open at 6 p.m. and admission is $15. Light refreshments will be served and local wine and beer will be available for purchase. Proceeds will benefit preservation of the Old Stone School Preservation. For more information, go to oldstoneschool.org.

LOVETTSVILLE Community Center Construction 2 Months Behind Schedule Although the long-planned project to replace the Lovettsville Community Center is underway, it’s two months behind schedule. Tony Jones, the county’s Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure communications manager, said that phase one of the project began in mid-July and was slated to complete Sept. 27, but it will now wrap up on or about Nov. 22. Jones said that Meridian Construction, the project contractor, was delayed in obtaining VDOT and grading permits. Phase one involves the demolition of the baseball field, the installation of geothermal wells and the construction of a new gravel parking lot. Once those elements are complete, Meridian will begin phase two, which includes construction of the new 19,289-square-foot community center to replace the existing one that’s been in use since the 1970s. Jones said that phase should be done by early 2021, with the new center tentatively set for an early 2022 opening. For construction updates, TOWN NOTES >> 24

Last year, One Family helped to raise more than $50,000 in cash and supplies to aid Hurricane Florence victims in North Carolina, working alongside Glory Days Grill in Aldie, JK Moving and Belfort Furniture to deliver the supplies to the victims. “I’m just a big believer that you can run a successful company and give back at the same time,” Keuhner said. “That was the whole purpose for me of what one family stands for.” Looking into the next few years, Keuhner said he’s interested in talking with the town to move its Oktoberfest celebration from the Town Green to his four-times-larger property. pszabo@loudounnow.com

some of them bring in food trucks for their patrons, they fall short of providing more reliable and better-prepared meals. He pointed to Crooked Run Brewing’s partnership with the Señor Ramon Taqueria in Sterling as an example of what those businesses could be doing. His planned farm-to-table restaurant will use Loudoun-farmed produce, fruit and locally raised meats and poultry, as well as crops that he’ll grow on the property’s remaining 20 acres. He said he’d also convert the existing 1,200-square-foot shed in the middle of the property into a smokehouse and work with area farmers to prepare different meats each weekend. Keuhner said he understands that not everyone likes beer as much as other drinks, so he plans to also offer wine and spirits at the brewery and restaurant. He knows he has his work cut out for him to get up and running within 18 to 24 months. One of the largest pieces of the puzzle is to determine whether the operation and be served by on-site well and septic or whether the town would provide public water and sewer service.

Proceeds from the beer he sold there, as well as the four-packs of 16-ounce cans he’s selling at Dynasty, go toward the $50,000 Keuhner needs to establish a Gold Star Memorial on the property. While there are 54 such memorials across the U.S., there are none in Northern Virginia or Washington, DC. Keuhner has already raised $26,000. “It’s not about honoring one family, it’s about honoring all the families [of fallen soldiers],” he said. “We need to do a lot as a government, as a community to take care of these people.” Keuhner also plans to launch the One Family Foundation, which will help individuals and families in need, whether they’re stricken by a natural

That beer is made with Comet, Chinook and Centennial hops from Loudoun and pale wheat and malt from other Virginia farms. Keuhner released the beer to the public during the Lovettsville Oktoberfest last month and is selling what he has left at Dynasty Brewing Co. in Ashburn. He brewed the beer with Favio Garcia, the owner of Dynasty and the co-founder of the Lost Rhino Brewing Company. In wanting to “do something cool” that focuses on Loudoun’s agriculture, Keuhner and Garcia used 40 pounds of hops from Hamilton Hops and Fabbioli Cellars to brew 10 barrels of the beer, or about 310 gallons. Of that, they filled five kegs for

PURCELLVILLE Purcellville Art Gallery Officially Opens it Doors this Saturday The Purcellville Art Gallery will host a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony with the town at 6 p.m. this Saturday, Oct. 12 at its location at 760 E.

ROUND HILL Town Objects to VDOT’s Sudden Paving The Town of Round Hill has expressed its displeasure with VDOT, following the initiation of Business Rt. 7 paving that began without any advanced notice, according to a town statement. In the spring, VDOT informed the town that Loudoun Street would be paved during the summer months. The Town Council formally asked VDOT to conduct paving during the day to reduce impact on residents and asked for a two-week advance notice of the work beginning. According to the town, VDOT declined to perform the work during the day, but agreed to the advance public notice. In September, the town was told the work would begin toward the end of October “with adequate notice to all parties.” VDOT’s paving contractor started work Sunday night, Oct. 7, without notifying the town or residents. Mayor Scott Ramsey contacted VDOT “to express his frustrations on behalf of the residents.” The town has asked VDOT for more details on a paving schedule and is awaiting a response. Ramsey and the Town Council apologize to residents for any inconvenience that the project caused. They are reassuring residents that future town-managed projects “will always take into consideration the impact to the public and try to minimize any impacts or inconveniences.” The town is emphasizing that the VDOT paving work is a different project than the town’s Main Street Enhancement Project & Franklin Park Trail, which will install stormwater lines under Main Street and East Loudoun Street, along with curb, gutter and streetlight conduits. That project is currently out to bid and should begin in spring 2020.

The Town of Round Hill will be interviewing candidates for the position of town planner throughout the next week or so, following last Friday’s application deadline. Town Administrator Melissa Hynes said the town staff expects to make a decision on a selection by Oct. 18. Hynes said she’s hoping to fill the role soon so the selected individual can participate in the creation of the Fiscal Year 2021 Strategic Action Plan that is scheduled to go before the Town Council on Nov. 21.

The Town of Purcellville could purchase a 2-acre property adjacent to Fireman’s Field to use for recreational use, granted the county approves a funding request.

Purcellville Requests $700K from County to Expand Recreation Complex BY PATRICK SZABO

FEATURING LUNCHEON KEYNOTE SPEAKER

CARLA HARRIS Vice Chairman, Managing Director Morgan Stanley

Pearls of Powerful Leadership If you choose to sit in the leadership seat, here are the things you must be intentional about to be a powerful, impactful, influential leader.

The Town of Purcellville is asking the county government for $700,000 to purchase a 2-acre property adjacent to Fireman’s Field to preserve it from residential development and use it for recreation. The Town Council voted unanimously last month, with Mayor Kwasi Fraser and Councilmen Ted Greenly and Joel Grewe absent, to approve the funding request, citing a need to ensure that the property, owned by the Nichols family, is not developed into a three- to fivehome subdivision. While the town’s appraisal of the property estimated it to be worth $575,000, the Nichols family’s

appraisal turned up a value of $700,000. Although the funding request was submitted a day after the county’s Sept. 30 deadline for towns to file requests for funding from its Fiscal Year 2021 budget, County Public Affairs and Communications Officer Glen Barbour said the county would accept the request. If it’s approved, Town Attorney Sally Hankins said the town could purchase and use the property to expand the Fireman’s Field complex and provide the town with land for unscheduled recreational use that it currently doesn’t have.

ager Amie Ware said the town could use the property for a splash pad, outdoor fitness stations, gazebos, benches, bike racks or a pollinator garden. She also suggested that the town could convert the existing 2,728-square-foot house there into a recreation and nature center or an overflow location for the Loudoun Valley Community Center. Councilman Ryan Cool said that, while he wasn’t opposed to purchasing the property, he was concerned about the town’s habit of purchasing property and “doing nothing with it.” He pointed to the town’s 2009 purchase of the 189acre Aberdeen Property for nearly $2.2 million and 2011 purchase of the Pullen House for $175,000. The town is not actively using either property. “We tend to spend money and it sits,” he said. Cool also mentioned the town’s inclusion of $600,000 in the Fiscal Year 2019 budget for a proposed bike park at the Basham Simms Wastewater Facility—a proposal that has gained little traction since its inception in February 2018. He said that if the county grants the town the funding, or a portion of the requested amount, the town would need to be cognizant of other projects residents are still pushing for. “People complain a lot more about traffic than a need for a splash pad,” he said. “I think our priorities should be focused on the traffic stuff first.” Town Manager David Mekarski said the town is additionally requesting

county funding for two pedestrian improvement projects and a project that would install 14 LED streetlights along Maple Avenue. If the funding request is aligned with county funding guidelines, it will be considered for inclusion in the county administrator’s proposed Fiscal Year 2021 Capital Improvement Program. Once the Board of Supervisors receives the program in February, its Finance Committee will then deliberate on it through March and make a recommendation back to the full board, which will adopt the plan in April, with or without a $700,000 inclusion for the Town of Purcellville. The vote to request county funding to purchase the Nichols property comes a little more than two months after the council voted to release the town’s right of first refusal on the property—a right the town reserved in a 2008 agreement with the Nichols family at a cost of $1,000. That July vote came at the recommendation of the town staff, who emphasized that the town did not have the necessary funding set aside in its Fiscal Year 2020 budget for the purchase and suggested that the town would have needed to complete a strategic recreational master plan before making the purchase to validate a future need for the property. Hankins said that following that vote, the Nichols family informed the town that they were interested in seeing the property go toward a public use.

BY JAN MERCKER A dozen years ago, Joe Peroney was laid off from an electronics factory in southwestern Pennsylvania. Now he’s chef de cuisine at Loudoun’s Roots 657 café and an up-and-comer on the Mid-Atlantic culinary scene. He’s also getting ready to take his skills to the international Culinary Olympics in Germany early next year. “It’s what I gravitate toward—the fine little details and the discipline of competitions like this,” Peroney said. “For a lot of people, it brings them stress, but for me it brings ease and takes some of the pressure off me.” Peroney is a partner in the popular Roots 657, launched by his friend and mentor Rich Rosendale in 2016. Like Rosendale, Peroney’s skills were forged in the kitchens of the prestigious Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. And like Rosendale, a past Culinary Olympics participant and Bocuse d’Or competitor, he’ll be showing off his skills on the international stage. Started in Germany in 1900, the Internationale Kochkunst Ausstellung competition is held every four years, bringing more than 2,000 chefs from across the world, including several U.S. teams. Much of the focus is on culinary art and ingenious presentation, and Peroney’s team will compete in a category where judges won’t even taste the food: aesthetic appeal and creativity are key. The competition is intense, and teams prepare for years to get ready. Peroney, 37, is a member of one of several American Culinary Federation teams at the competition, which takes place in mid-February 2020 in Stuttgart, Germany. Peroney’s regional

team will spotlight the cuisine of the American East Coast and will compete in the cold food salon category, where dishes are prepared and then preserved in aspic, an old-school European technique that puts the focus on presentation and attention to detail. Peroney’s team of eight consists of five top East Coast chefs hailing from Baltimore to Naples, FL, along with an apprentice, an assistant pastry chef and their coach, German-born but Baltimore-based master chef Raimund Hofmeister. Rosendale, also a certified master chef and past IKA competitor,

is offering support. The group meets in a different location every month to prepare for the competition. October is Peroney’s turn to host, and team members met at Rosendale’s new Rosendale Collective culinary lab in Leesburg earlier this week to do a full run-through of their menu, gearing up for the pressure of competition week. Rosendale offers classes for novices and professionals at the lab, which opened earlier this year in an industrial space near Cardinal Park Drive. “It’s like an orchestra—we’re organizing different plates moving up and people buzzing about the kitchen,” Peroney said. “I feel like our team, we’re all very comfortable being uncomfortable, which is great because in those situations where we have master chefs from across the world watching us, we’re going to be like a well-oiled machine.” Peroney is in charge of the starter courses for his team and is planning a vegetarian dish, a fish dish and a poultry dish, each representing a different region of the East Coast. It takes three days to get from raw product to the plate. “I want to make sure that everything I’m putting on there is as close to perfect as it can be,” Peroney said. Peroney grew up in southwestern Pennsylvania and realized at a young age that traditional academics weren’t his thing. After high school, Peroney, like many classmates, went to work at a local electronics factory. When the factory closed, he was given an education benefit as part of his severance CULINARY OLYMPICS >> 32

INTERNATIONAL TRIBUTE TO R.E.M.

Each weekend, the stages at western Loudoun’s wineries and breweries showcase the talents of singers performing classic country and rock tunes. On Saturday at Tarara Winery, Tracy Hamlin plans to class things up a bit. It’s the second year for Hamlin’s Sweet Jazz and Wine Festival. The noted vocalist and Loudoun resident is bringing on some heavy-hitters—national and international recording artists—to help area residents develop a greater appreciation for jazz music. Hamlin has performed in nearly 60 countries over the past two decades. Classically trained, she writes, records and performs Jazz, R&B, and dance music and has been recording since she was 13 years old. She gained popularity as the lead vocalist for the group Pieces of a Dream in the early 2000s before striking out on a solo career and scoring a hit with “Better Days,” the title track from her second album in 2009. Hamlin tells her audiences that when she couldn’t get a record deal, she produced her first album herself and when she couldn’t get booked at certain venues, she began promoting her own shows. And when she couldn’t get booked on festivals, she started her own. In addition to a day of music, the Sweet Jazz & Wine Festival will allow two students from low income families to receive a year of private music instruction. Hamlin hopes to grow the festival into a multi-day event next year and provide more performance oppor-

package. Peroney, who had grown up helping his grandparents in their vegetable garden and kitchen, gravitated toward the culinary arts and enrolled in the hospitality program at Westmoreland County Community College near Pittsburgh. He met Rosendale, a graduate of the community college and successful chef, at an alumni dinner. That led to a life-changing, three-year apprenticeship at the prestigious Greenbrier Resort, where Rosendale worked as executive chef. The precise, meticulous kitchen was a natural fit for Peroney. “Working with the chefs there, the discipline was exactly what I needed so I fell in love with that culture,” he said. When Rosendale opened Roots in 2016, he invited Peroney to join the team and help execute his vision of chef-driven fast casual cuisine with a focus on locally sourced ingredients. The two chefs with fine dining backgrounds are now whipping up killer burgers, house-made mac and cheese, pot pies and made-from-scratch chicken tenders at the hotspot north of Leesburg. “We want something that’s fast, craveable, affordable and you can bring your whole family and there’s something for everybody,” Peroney said. The move to Roots has been a pos-

itive one, Peroney said. He loves the constant access to interesting local produce, and the enthusiastic clientele that fast-growing Loudoun provides. And he’s thrilled to have a chance to show off his artistic side on the international stage. “Working in a restaurant daily can be a grind… When I step away from that world and into the show world, it’s really about finesse and attention to detail,” Peroney said. “I always tell people I’ve been training for this since culinary school—I just didn’t know it. That first class I took where we were learning how to dice potatoes—all those little steps have led up to this.” For more information on Joe Peroney and Roots 657, go to roots657.com.

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.

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. 10/10/19

Helen J. (Bilinskas) Wolons passed away on October 1, 2019 at Heritage Hall, Leesburg, VA with her family at her side. She was 5 months shy of her 100th birthday. She previously lived in Paeonian Springs, VA with her daughter Christine H. Doxey and her son-inlaw David E. Doxey. She was born in Worcester, MA on February 15, 1920 and is predeceased by her husband Alphonse J. Wolons and her parents Rochus and Jenny Bilinskas. She was an only child, but had several lifelong friends. She also leaves her son William J. Wolons, his wife Sharon of Spencer, MA along with a granddaughter Joyelle Jones of Maine. She will be deeply missed by Ann M. Sancus of Worcester, MA, a lifelong family friend. Helen loved spending time with her daughter and son-in-law. She moved with them to Houston, TX in 1994 from Worcester, MA and enjoyed being a Texan. She had a wonderful life filled with art, music, theater, friends, and family. She was a woman of grace, style and good manners. She loved to read,

go shopping and liked watching her favorite television shows. She enjoyed the fresh flowers, fruits, and vegetables from her family’s garden every summer. Helen was an avid traveler and took trips all over the US, Canada, Mexico, Hawaii, and Europe. In fact, she lived in Mexico City during the first year of her married life. She loved all animals and always had her favorite cat by her side when she resided with her daughter and son-in-law. She graduated from South High School in Worcester, MA where she was recognized as a Latin, History, French, and Horace Mann scholar. She was an accomplished singer and pianist and was active in the Worcester Festival Chorus and the Knights of Lithuania. She was a soloist at both Blessed Sac-

rament and St. Joseph’s churches in the Worcester area. She worked for Reed and Prince during World War II and was a retail associate for many years after her husband’s death in 1967. She was a member of St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Leesburg, VA. Condolences may be sent to www. colonialfuneralhome.com.

[ OPINION ]

October 10, 2019

Make It a Priority One concerning trend that has emerged during the 2019 campaign for local and state offices centers on transportation. Incumbent county supervisors have been bragging about their accomplishments in pushing forward a long list of long-needed road improvements. The results of those efforts are felt by county commuters every day. They also have touted the $1.2 billion in Capital Improvement Program funding earmarked for transportation projects over the next six years. For the first time, transportation makes up more than half of the county’s construction budget, where previously that funding was used almost exclusively for schools, parks and county buildings. Progress? Not really. Schools, parks, fire stations and libraries are local government responsibilities. Under Virginia law, roads are the dominion of the state government. What are our candidates for the State Senate and House of Delegates talking about in their campaign materials? They seem to have a lot of ideas about how to strengthen Loudoun’s school system. While the state government does provide funding for our schools, that actually is what local real estate taxes are expected to pay for. And the problem is far greater than complaints about Dulles Greenway toll rates—also a popular topic for local and state candidates. In effect, Loudouners are paying higher local taxes just to get to work each day and also to allow legislators in Richmond to keep their own budget artificially low. The sleight-of-hand measures that have poured extra fees, taxes and tolls onto Northern Virginia residents isn’t only unfair, it is not sustainable. That should be evident in the assembly’s poorly-conceived plan to make up for its raid on the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority’s funding stream to cover its Metro obligations by taking money from the tax scheme it designed to allow the state government to avoid its funding responsibilities for improvements in the I-81 corridor. What is needed from the state government is a sustainable, comprehensive commitment to fund its transportation obligations. That should be a priority of all the Loudoun candidates running for state and local office.

[ LETTERS ] What About ‘Us’? Editor: Recently I found an op-ed piece I wrote for in 2015, entitled Who Runs for The Poor? In it I argued that while candidates for office run on tax relief and economic development, nobody seems to ever run for the poor. Here we are some four years later and nothing has changed. In fact, it has gotten much worse. Today economic development rules as we watch how far candidates and governments can fall over each other to be seen as the agents of business and commerce. Companies pay their CEO hundreds of times more than their workers and even countries that have terrible poverty, like India, think it more important to go to the moon than feed their people. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer and somehow, we have come to believe that is how it should be. What happened, I wonder, to the idea of sacrifice for others and the common good being the rule rather than the exception? When did unchallenged individual and economic freedom become the driving force for our lives? When did economic development become god? A few Sundays ago, at Christ Church in Lucketts, where I am the Lay Pastoral Leader, I preached a sermon entitled “Me, Mine, More.” In my message I made the case for loving one another and taking care of one another becoming the norm versus the present mind-set, where taking care of me, is the norm. I said during my sermon that this country became great not because individuals were allowed to do what they wanted but rather that communities, families, faith communities, cared about the common good more than the individual good alone. We used to ask “what’s best for all of us,” rather than today’s question “what’s best for me?”

I also noted that our government leaders are leading the charge on this way of thinking. It seems almost every decision made by every level of government from the town of Leesburg to the federal government turns on the ‘holy’ concepts of economic development and tax reduction. Economic development has achieved godlike status in the public conversation. And Lord knows, you can’t win office without pledging to reduce taxes. What happened to human development? What happened to the idea that sometimes we have to raise taxes in order to provide for the needs of the community? Why do political leaders have to add money to my pocketbook to get my vote? Maybe it’s time for us to challenge the powers that be to care more about what’s happening to those who have less and at the same time begin to ask do we really need more? Perhaps we can stop measuring every success based on whether the economy grows and somebody makes more money … human development should be our priority over economic development. — Kurt Aschermann, Leesburg

Pitfalls Editor: Recent proposals to standardize grading policies seem to have good intentions but also several pitfalls. At times, extra credit has been used outside the boundaries of core study simply for “score recovery.” However, balancing its absence by eliminating zeros for missing assignments doesn’t exactly teach students the importance of doing all the work expected of them. Neither does prohibiting grades for homework. That tool is a motivation to keep up with the current lesson plan. Without it, the habit of procrastinating and cramming for tests only gets worse, as does the real mastery of LETTERS >> 53

HISTORIC LEESBURG, VA

October 10, 2019

A few years back, I learned of an incident at a private school in McLean where a teen student who identifies as white shared a picture on a group chat headlined “Black Lives Matter” Olympics. The events depicted in the image showed individuals engaged in criminal activities and an obvious smear of the social justice movement. Another student, who identifies as black, on the same chat thankfully, spoke out and acknowledged that he found both the picture and sender to be “racist or, at minimum, of a racist nature.” But here’s the twist: The following day, the parents of the sender of the offending image, feeling their son didn’t deserve to be so closely linked to racism, insisted something be done to reprimand the black student. And what just about beats all is that the school obliged the parents—stressing to the black student the need to choose his words wisely. The white student was shown that he was the priority in the building and would be protected at practically any cost. The black student built a more protective wall and learned to rely on those in the building whom he could actually trust. Less space and fewer options. What I know: There are classrooms and learning environments where rigor, rich social-supports and reciprocal learning are thriving with the help of teachers and leadership who are aware, engaged … and evolving. But individual experiences are most telling and experiences like that above show us that not all environments and not everyone claiming to welcome all students actually do. And, as much as we’d like to believe otherwise, it’s not always inadvertent. There are those whose priority is to preserve our defunct systems—often in the most creative and disingenuous ways—by relying on deflections, coded-language (i.e.,

grit, and other forms of “character” education) and all sorts of savvy to completely disregard the substance of the matter. And we see an absurd and compartmentalized focus on the victim--often drawing on ignorant stereotypes to undermine substance or attempting to discredit him or her. But these attempts to preserve the status quo should serve as the call to the rest of us to move beyond our own fragility to conversations and solutions that count—serving not only as abolitionists in education but as listening collaborators, here for more than just the self-serving agenda. The start of the new school year brings new challenges and questions, but it is as much an opportunity for a year’s worth of growth—for all players. And, while trainings on diversity and inclusion and equity may be helpful in some instances, trainings won’t undo a lifetime of micro-inequities, micro-aggressions and racist ideologies. But introspection work may … and the commitment to social change through collaboration, humility, and accountable can reengineer a building. We can’t have conversation on achievement gaps, disciplinary gaps, excellence gaps, etc. without first examining and attacking the teacher-education gap. So, I make the call to all collaborators—those who recognize the competencies, experiences, and perspectives of others as attributes. Come, we need you. You’re our most reliable and trusted experts and will secure the most progress. Let’s make this year a great one.

[ LETTERS ] << FROM 52 the material. No one wants a student to get in a hole they can’t crawl out of, but is setting a minimum score the best answer? I once scored so low on a test that the teacher wrote, “I am unsure why you are still in this class.” It was deflating for sure; at best curt. Even so, it made me realize I needed to make some serious changes. Hitting

the same safety net as everyone else wouldn’t have been nearly as impactful. And honesty is as important to the “growth mindset” as a student’s desire. Maybe instead of relying on doovers, we should focus on the dayto-day learning that can render them unnecessary, or at least few and far between. But we can’t do that if poor performance isn’t given accurate review. — Charles Smith, Leesburg

A Call for Collaborators in Education BY TOSHA WOODARD

October 10, 2019

Debate << FROM 3 zoning ordinance. She said state law requires the plan to identify the sending and receiving zones for the credits. Buffington refuted Walbridge’s claims, saying that County Attorney Leo Rogers informed the Board of Supervisors that a simple reference to the transfer of development rights program would give the county enough legal ground to stand on to implement and fund such a program. “The county attorney of Loudoun County disagrees with Tia Walbridge on this,” he said. Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk at one point took the mic to ask Buffington why the Board of Supervisors voted in June to reverse decades-old policies that call for the town to serve the surrounding Joint Land Management Area with water and sewer service and instead designate Loudoun Water to provide utilities there. Buffington said that, while he did vote to do that, he said the vote was taken quickly in an effort to keep developers, who, according to Vice Chairman Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn), felt bullied by the town, from walking away from their plans to invest in Loudoun. He also said there was language added in that allows developers in the JLMA to use Leesburg utilities if they choose to do so. Buffington said supervisors feared that about a billion dollars in investments was about to pull out. Walbridge said she was worried about the precedent the vote set for other Loudoun towns and that the Board of Supervisors pulled the rug out from under the Town of Leesburg in its vote.

Kaine << FROM 3 to “weigh in on a local controversy” and that the answer should come from the local officials who the residents elected—namely, Mayor Roger Vance and Vice Mayor Amy Marasco, who are managing the project. Kaine referenced his time serving as the mayor of Richmond from 19982001, saying he understood that Vance has a tough job to do. He said that while being mayor wasn’t his favorite job, and that it “will kill you,” out of all the titles he’s had throughout his career, he would keep the title of mayor, since mayors are the most accessible to residents and prove that democracy can still work. At the more regional level, a common concern among those sitting around the round was individual access to healthcare. Kaine said because of that difficulty, many people choose to go to work for larger companies and don’t enter an agricultural-based field, like farming. Farmer Sam Kroiz, who his running as an independent candidate for the Catoctin District seat on the county board, echoed Kaine’s comments, emphasizing that the decreasing number of farmers is a direct result of inadequate health care coverage being provided. “When you’re talking about health care, you’re also talking about the future of farming in our country,” he said. Kaine assured the roundtable that he was “quite convinced” his Medicare-X plan would be the next step forward in

Purcellville Mayor Kwasi Fraser also told the candidates that the Warner family has submitted plans to the county to develop the 131-acre Warner Brook property just north of town—a property the Purcellville Town Council voted last October not to annex. Fraser asked what they would do to block developers there from constructing a road connecting the new development with the Wright Farm neighborhood. Walbridge said that tightening the zoning ordinance would be an important action to take, while Buffington said he’s already worked with the county staff to ensure that they’re working with the applicant to “slow things down.” Both candidates were also questioned on the source—and influence—of campaign contributions. Walbridge was asked about a $25,000 contribution she received from Del. John Bell (D-87), who has received nearly $400,000 from real estate and development interests. Initially claiming that the contribution wasn’t that high, but later told that it was, Walbridge said that Bell has been her mentor since she decided to run for office and that even if some of the money received from Bell was derived from developers, it wouldn’t change her views on rural preservation. Buffington said it was “very interesting” that Bell, who’s also battling for a seat in the State Senate, would give Walbridge such a large donation. While claiming that he wasn’t accusing his opponent’s supporters of underhandedness, he said that sometimes developers use candidates as conduits to pass their money through to get it into the intended hands. Buffington was also asked about the

$50,000 in donations he’s received from real estate and construction firms. To that, he said he received “a lot of money” from developers in his previous campaign, but that he didn’t promise them anything in accepting it. He noted that he has a four-year voting record for residents to reference. “Look at my record,” he told the crowd. Walbridge, a board member of the Loudoun County Farm Bureau, was additionally asked about the details of her Round Hill-area sheep farm, as critics have questioned whether she actually worked as a farmer. She described her farming operation as one in which she raises Dorset sheep, processes meat to sell to local restaurants and sells ewes, among other jobs. On the topic of money, the candidates were also asked about current board’s vote to raise the compensation of the next board by 62 percent. Beginning next term, supervisors will be paid $66,826 annually. Buffington, who approved the raise along with other Republican board members, said that supervisors should make enough money to focus on the job full time if they wish and that their salaries should be high enough to allow them to live in Loudoun County, pointing to his need to support his two kids and his girlfriend’s four kids. Walbridge said that she wouldn’t vote for a supervisor pay raise until county employee salaries were on par with that of surrounding jurisdictions, noting that 30 percent of Loudoun teachers live outside the county. When asked about the most urgent challenges they feel the county is faced with and how they would attack it, Buffington and Walbridge agreed that pre-

serving western Loudoun by tightening the county’s zoning rules was key. Buffington also mentioned that the county needs to continue finding ways to reduce traffic congestion. He said it’s already doing so and that it will spend $1.2 billion on road projects over the next six years to make that happen. “We absolutely have to continue doing that— relief is coming,” he said. Walbridge said the county needs to put conservation programs in place to deal with the “breakneck pace of growth” it’s experienced—three times the national average over the past five years. She said voters have “a very clear choice” come Nov. 5—vote for someone who has made “empty promises” or elect someone who understands western Loudoun’s needs. “I have the boots on the ground experience and the policy knowledge,” she said. Buffington said he would continue listening to the public, leading on the Board of Supervisors and delivering results. “I’m going to continue to do those things,” he said. The entire debate, as well as the earlier Catoctin District candidate debate, may be viewed at loudoundebates.com. The final debate in the COLT series will feature the candidates for the County Chairman At-Large seat—incumbent Phyllis J. Randall (D), Republican John Whitbeck and Independent Bob Ohneiser. It will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 9 at the Ida Lee Park Recreation Center in Leesburg.

providing affordable insurance to those employees. The bill proposes to leave the existing private health care system in place while allowing anyone to apply for a public health care option. That discussion eventually dovetailed into a conversation on the issue of a shrinking rural workforce. Walsh Family Wine Co-owner Nate Walsh said that labor accounts for 70 percent of his total business costs, 90 percent of which is attributable to labor in his multiple vineyards, and that he was concerned about finding additional employees to tend the vines. Kaine said he is cosponsoring the JOBS Act, which proposes to help students access training for the nation’s millions of vacant jobs by allowing Pell Grants to cover high-quality, short-term job training programs. Kaine said that another part of the answer to that concern is comprehensive immigration reform, which, he said, would not only ensure border security, but also help legal immigrants find employment. “We’re not going to have the workforce we need if we choke off immigration,” he said. Aside from the need for laborers to work the land, a few business owners highlighted that the land first needs to be accessible. Long Stone Farm Owner Casey Wisch said that, while property is available in western Loudoun, it’s too expensive for many to purchase. On the topic of overpricing, Catoctin Creek Distillery Founder Becky Harris said that unlike the tax on wine and beer, the distillery tax isn’t tiered, which

means she pays exactly what Heaven Hill Distillery in Kentucky pays. According to its website, Heaven Hill is the sixth largest spirits supplier in the nation. “That doesn’t feel fair,” Harris said. Harris urged Kaine to cosponsor the Craft Beverage Modernization and Tax Reform Act of 2019, which would reduce the tax rate on distilled spirits from an even $13.50 per proof gallon to $2.70 per proof gallon for the first 100,000 gallons. Kaine said that, although the bill has positive impacts for smaller distilleries like Catoctin Creek, he’s heard that it would also greatly benefit larger producers. Rural broadband also was discussed. Kaine said that, while the federal government continues to invest in expanding broadband throughout the nation, it’s “moving slow.” He blamed congressional Republicans’ opposition to raising taxes or fees as a key hurdle. “If you’re not going to come up with funds, you’re not going to do it,” he said. Marasco noted that Loudoun generally doesn’t qualify for direct grant funds because of its high household incomes. She said the federal and state governments need to look at rural communities in a more localized way. Also participating in the roundtable discussion were Supervisors Tony Buffington (R-Blue Ridge) and Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin), along with Loudoun Department of Economic Development Executive Director Buddy Rizer.

Funding fix the best compromise on solutions. “The reality is, what was on the table in the General Assembly session last year, which was the hotel tax, was not that bad for us, and our industry didn’t really object to that, as opposed to some other type of tax which would potentially be more onerous for us,” Letourneau said. “I’m all for that pressure to begin with … but I have a feeling that’s probably not where it’s going to end up.” Randall agreed, and said she’d be pushing for options that don’t levy yet more taxes on people living in the region. “If funds are to be returned to NVTA at all, really the biggest discussion is, will those funds be from Northern Virginia taxpayers again?” Randall said. “So, all those other types of funding mechanisms are not being discussed at this time.” Members of the General Assembly— whomever they are after November’s election that includes all 140 seats— must submit requests to draft bills by 5 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 5 to meet the prefiling deadline. The 2020 session is expected to convene on Jan. 8, 2020 and adjourn March 7.
