Digging for the Story at Sleeter Lake BY PATRICK SZABO

Renss Greene/Loudoun Now

The history of Round Hill’s Sleeter Lake can be visibly traced back to its origins as an irrigation source for the surrounding orchard operations, but one colonial-style home that sits on the banks has a more obscure story which the town wants to reveal. In February, the town asked the Banshee Reeks Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia to conduct an archaeological survey on the long-abandoned 18th or 19th-century house located near the parking lot of Sleeter Lake Park. Town Administrator Melissa Hynes said the town wanted to learn more about the history of the house that sits on its park property. The society has been conducting the survey for the past month. According to Marion Constante, the chapter’s president, the survey will

Supervisors Consider Nat’l Landmark Status, ‘Path to Freedom’ at Courthouse Complex BY RENSS GREENE Members of the Board of Supervisors’ finance committee have begun discussions around how to act on the Heritage Commission’s recommendations to tell the story of the old Leesburg courthouse’s place in history—beyond the Confederate statue towering before the courthouse steps. In the fall of 2017, as nationwide protests over Confederate monuments spread to the Leesburg courthouse lawn,

the Board of Supervisors declined to take any immediate action. Instead, they directed the county’s Heritage Commission to look into the history of the courthouse and the possibly of adding another monument to join the monuments for Loudouners killed in war, the American Revolution and to Confederate soldiers in the Civil War. After producing a body of research on the courthouse grounds’ place in American history—a place where the Declaration of Independence was read, where

enslaved people were sold, where trials for people who helped enslaved people escape along the Underground Railroad were held, and where a landmark civil rights case was won—the Heritage Commission made recommendations for how to tell that story. Those included pursuing National Historic Landmark status for the old courthouse, creating a new “Path to Freedom” walk with monuments and signs telling that story, and naming either the old or planned new courthouse after pioneer-

ing civil rights attorney Charles Hamilton Houston, one of the foremost black attorneys in the country in his time. The commission recommended the “Path to Freedom” walk include a memorial to Loudoun’s Union soldiers near the existing war memorials on Market Street, recognizing the Loudoun Rangers, the Union Potomac Home Brigade and the local men of the U.S. Colored Troops.

Independent candidate Bob Ohneiser, incumbent Democrat Phyllis J. Randall, and Republican candidate for county chairman John Whitbeck spar during a debate last week at the Ida Lee Park Recreation Center in Leesburg.

Chairman Debate Focuses on Character BY RENSS GREENE During a debate Thursday among Loudoun’s candidates for County Chairman At Large, where all three broadly agreed on making growth and transportation top priorities, the three sought to distinguish themselves on their specific plans, their records, and how much or how little voters could trust their opponents. Incumbent Democrat Phyllis J. Randall, Republican John Whitbeck and Independent candidate Bob Ohneiser sparred at a debate hosted by the Coalition of Loudoun Towns and moderated by Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk, Loudoun Times-Mirror reporter Nathaniel Cline and Loudoun Now editor Norman K. Styer. Each candidate presented ideas for how they would go about tackling traffic, transit, housing costs, and mental health issues and drug addiction in Loudoun. Whitbeck pointed to the series of proposals he has rolled out during his campaign—such as imitat-

ing a program from Fairfax County to add a position to the County Attorney’s office focused on pro bono legal work, or increasing the size of the newly reestablished drug court program— while Randall pointed to what has been accomplished during her term leading the board, including restarting and expanding the drug court after it had been shut down in 2012, which she pushed. Whitbeck and Randall also sparred over a handful of votes and proposals she had made during her term. Whitbeck attacked Randall for her vote to move about a square mile of land from the county’s Rural Policy Area to the Transition Policy Area during the county’s comprehensive plan review. “When we go to the polls and choose our leaders, we are asked to put our trust in them, and one of the things we are going to be asked to do on the next board is deal with the Transition Policy Area … which candidates on the stage can you trust to keep their word, when it’s already been broken?”

But Randall defended that change, saying it was made in response to overwhelming support from the residents living in the area, providing them with access to public water and sewer. She said her work on the plan helped strengthen protections for rural Loudoun. “There was never any protective language in the comprehensive plan to protect the rural west, which is why you had all the encroachment you had,” Randall said. “I actually made a motion and put protective language in the comprehensive plan for the first time.” Responding to a question from the Leesburg mayor, Whitbeck said he supported the board’s controversial decision to allow Loudoun Water to expand service into the Leesburg Joint Land Management Area, but criticized the way in which the Republican supervisors took that action without prior coordination with town leaders. The

During the past month, Loudoun School Board meetings have started with parents lining up to read graphic sex scenes found in the pages of books that were added to classroom shelves this year. Between steamy lines describing the unbuttoning of clothes, erections and breasts, the speakers point out that the scenes sometimes involve incest or statutory rape—and question whether such material has a place in the classroom where they can be accessed without parental permission. The books are part of the school division’s diversity initiative and are intended to “bring more equity, inclusion, and

diversity into classroom libraries.” “The books provided in the classroom libraries are meant to give access to literature that reflect and honor the student population that exists in Loudoun. They are not required reading material nor are they included in instruction without clear ties to the lesson, as with all use of literature,” according a statement released by the school administration last week. According to a tabulation provided by the administration, the diversity collection totals 3,400 books, 600 in elementary school classrooms, 1,200 in grades 6 through 8, and 1,600 in high schools. Of those, the vast majority of the books—98 percent at the elementary level and 92 percent in high school—

were selected to help students explore differences of race, culture, language and religion. The other two categories of books are intended to address disabilities/abilities and LGBTQ subjects. The larger of those two collections is focused on LGBTQ matters, with five books in the elementary collection, 44 in middle schools, and 82 in high schools. Speakers raising concerns about some of the new material say the books undermine values they teach at home, introduce topics of gender and sex to too-young audiences and even conflict with material presented in Family Life Education classes.

Office, Data Center Project Promises $2.5M for Shellhorn

October 17, 2019

BY RENSS GREENE

Douglas Graham/Loudoun Now

The view looking east along Nixon Road just outside of the village of Morrisonville. Nixon Road is the next old gravel road in Loudoun to be paved over.

Loudoun Supervisors Set Six-Year Secondary Roads Program BY RENSS GREENE County supervisors last week signed off on the Virginia Department of Transportation’s plans to pave three more gravel roads over the next six years. The county and VDOT each year hold a joint public hearing on the state’s plans to maintain rural roads in Loudoun, and the state agency coordinates with the county government to set priorities for its projects. Nobody signed up to speak at this year’s public hearing. Over the next six years, VDOT plans to pave Ticonderoga Road, Nixon Road and Cochran Mill Road, as well as continue improvements to the intersection of Evergreen Mills Road and The Woods Road. The budget, which also includes some money for projects that have recently been completed, totals $7.5 million, with $373,000 available and not dedicated to a specific project. Supervisor Geary

M. Higgins (R-Catoctin) suggested improvements to Quarter Branch Road near Lovettsville; Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) suggested Goshen Road near John Champe High School be targeted for funding. Letourneau called the traffic problem at the high school “a crisis out there that we’re dealing with every day.” “We’ve expended significant county resources—sheriff ’s office resources, [Loudoun County Public Schools] resources—trying to fix the circulation problem with John Champe High School,” Letourneau said. Supervisors approved the list of projects as presented on an 8-0-1, with County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) absent. They also requested county staff members to provide cost estimates for paving Quarter Branch and Goshen roads. A county report for the meeting also indicates that the state is falling behind

in funding VDOT maintenance. According to the report, while an average of 45 to 50 miles of secondary roads are added to the state system every year, the General Assembly has not increased the funding for maintaining roads in Loudoun. In Fiscal Year 2020, the state has allocated $17.9 million to maintain paved and unpaved roads in Loudoun, the same as the previous fiscal year. It isn’t the first instance the state has fallen behind its transportation responsibilities in Loudoun and the region. Although building roads is a state responsibility in Virginia, because of continued traffic jams in the region, the county government dedicates millions of local dollars to building roads, which it then hands over to VDOT. This year, roads make up more than half of the county government’s six-year capital budget plans at $1.2 billion. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Project Nova, the newest iteration of a proposed development near the intersection of Loudoun County Parkway and the Dulles Greenway, could come with a $2.49 million contribution toward the extension of Shellhorn Road, plus land to extend Lockridge Road. The 23-acre site will be bordered to the north by Shellhorn and to the east by Lockridge, if and when those roads are completed. The road money and land would help connect the two roads by extending Shellhorn east and Lockridge north, providing motorists with an east-west alternative to the Greenway’s tolls. The land is part of Loudoun Parkway Center, proposed in 1990 as an office park. Today, the owners plan more than 400,000 square feet of office space or more than 600,000 square feet of data center space. The property is next to other major data center projects, like the Digital Realty campus off Loudoun County Parkway. Loudoun Parkway Center is also where the Board of Supervisors on Sept. 3 agreed to buy 25 acres for $17.7 million, land that also will help connect Shellhorn and Lockridge Supervisors held a public hearing on the proposal Oct. 10 at which no members of the public spoke. Supervisors approved the proposal 8-0-1 with County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) absent. Supervisor Ron A. Meyer Jr. (R-Broad Run) said it would bring “well over a billion dollars of economic development to the county once developed.” rgreene@loudounnow.com

One Loudoun Plans to Remove Stadium, Add Craft Beverages BY RENSS GREENE An application before the Board of Supervisors would close the final chapter in the long and unsuccessful effort to bring a sports stadium to One Loudoun—but make room for more craft beverages in the mixed-use community. Loudoun County’s efforts to bring sports teams to the county have resulted in the Purcellville Cannons and Loudoun United setting up shop in Purcellville and Leesburg. But although the Board of Supervisors approved zoning for a 109,464-square-foot stadium at One Loudoun in 2013—at one point, for a baseball team called the Loudoun Hounds—those plans never materialized. The developer now wants to rezone that land to allow other commercial and residential uses. Among the rezoning requests in One Loudoun’s application to the county is

a special exception that would allow a 25,000-square-foot craft beverage facility along Rt 7. Although no license has been filed yet with the state Alcoholic Beverages Commission, the county defines the use as “a small-scale brewery

manufacturing no more than 15,000 barrels of beer per calendar year … or a small-scale distillery manufacturing no more than 36,000 gallons of distilled spirts.” It also permits a tasting room. The application generally faced op-

position from One Loudoun residents when it was first filed with 44 additional two-over-two units. Since then, that has been reduced to 27 townhouses, and according to some supervisors, the developer seems to have ameliorated that opposition. “This is literally, like, my block, and to be honest with you, I personally thought 44 was a little much and was a little bit skeptical of this application,” said Supervisor Ron A. Meyer Jr. (R-Broad Run), a One Loudoun resident. David Fisher and Steve Hartley, the two resident members of the One Loudoun Neighborhood Association, spoke in favor of the application during an Oct. 10 public hearing. Supervisors will vote on the application Nov. 21. rgreene@loudounnow.com

Supervisors Contemplate Parking Meters in Loudoun

A parking meter in Leesburg.

County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) said there had been comparisons to Reston Town Center, which saw a dip in business after it began charging for parking. She said that was different. “The Reston Town Center did not charge for parking for years, and then they all of a sudden implemented the parking,” Randall said. “So if you go for 30 years and not charge parking, and then one day there’s these parking garages that there’s both a charge, but also fairly convoluted and complicated to use, I’m not surprised at all that there was some business that was lost.” The parking meters would also come with $50 civil fines for parking in restricted zones or for destroying meter equipment, and $40 for all other violations, such as parking without paying the meter. Although parking meters are currently only proposed on the south side of the Ashburn Metro station, adopting the ordinance would allow the county government to use parking meters countywide. Supervisors on the finance committee recommended the full Board of Supervisors hold a public hearing on the proposed ordinance. rgreene@loudounnow.com

[ BRIEFS ] Loudoun Offers Free Flu Shots The Loudoun County Health Department will offer free flu shots at the Sterling Community Center on Oct. 26 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or until the supply of shots runs out. Only 400 shots will be available. “Getting your flu vaccine is the best way to protect you, your family, friends and co‐workers from getting the flu,” stated Loudoun County Health Department Director Dr. David Goodfriend. “Vaccination is the best way to prevent influenza. This event offers a fast and efficient way to vaccinate a large number of people in a short time.” The vaccination is especially important for people at higher risk of complications from the flu, including

pregnant and postpartum women, older adults, people with chronic lung or heart problems including asthma, and people who have other serious medical conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, anemia, cancer, weak immune systems or a seizure disorder. The flu shots are offered as part of a public health emergency exercise simulating a mass vaccination event in which the health department and local agencies would work together so community members could be vaccinated efficiently during a time of emergency, such as a worldwide outbreak of influenza. The Sterling Community Center is located at 120 Enterprise Street, Sterling.

County supervisors are considering a new ordinance that for the first time would allow on-street parking meters. Although parking meters are a familiar sight in Leesburg, currently the county government has no ordinance permitting metered parking outside towns or private streets. Supervisors are considering changing the rules specifically for on-street parking near the future Ashburn metro station near the Loudoun Station development. According to a county staff report, when that station opens, there are expected to be nearly 300 on-street parking spaces on the south side of the station, opposite Loudoun Station. The businesses that county leaders hope will be attracted to areas around Metro stops will not be there yet, and without regulation or businesses using those spots, county officials expect Metro riders will use the free street-side parking rather than paying to use the county-owned garage. No rates have yet been suggested for those spaces; the county report suggests waiting until the rates have been set for the parking garages near the station. County leaders hope metering the street-side parking will collect parking revenue when Metro riders don’t park in the garage, and eventually chase Metro riders into the paid garages as businesses pop up that need those parking spaces. Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn) called it an “important tool” for the county’s investment in that garage. Since businesses have not yet moved into that area, Department of Transportation and Capital Infrastructure Director Joe Kroboth suggested a transition plan as those businesses begin showing up. “I would suggest that we start out with a long-term fee, and as businesses start and residents begin to occupy those spaces, we would transition that down to more 15-minute, one-hour, two-hour intervals to be able to allow that transient use into and out of those businesses,” Kroboth told the board’s finance committee Oct. 8.

Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Ralph Buona (R-Ashburn), Supervisor Ron Meyer (R-Broad Run), NVTA Chairman Marty Nohe and former state Del. Randy Minchew shovel the first scoop of dirt in the $66 million Rt. 7/Battlefield Parkway interchange construction project, along with other state, county and town leaders.

Construction Opens on Project to Remove Final 2 Rt. 7 Traffic Lights BY PATRICK SZABO In two years, drivers traveling the 35 miles of Rt. 7 between the East Main Street intersection in Berryville and Countryside Boulevard in Sterling won’t have to deal with a single traffic light. County, town and state leaders dug up the first patch of ground at the Rt. 7/Battlefield Parkway intersection Tuesday morning, as part of a ceremony that has initiated work on a $77.3 million project that will see the Wagman construction company transform the intersection into a grade-separated interchange and remove two traffic signals by fall 2021. Bill Cuttler, the VDOT Northern Virginia District assistant district engineer for construction, led the 45-minute ceremony, with other VDOT and Wagman representatives, Town Council and staff members and county supervisors and staffers on hand. The ceremony came one week after county leaders celebrated the decommissioning of the traffic light at the Rt. 7 intersection with Lexington Drive in Ashburn. Since 2017, traffic lights also have been removed at Ashburn Village Boulevard and Belmont Ridge Road. That’s all part of a plan initiated in the late 1980s to make Rt. 7 a limited access highway west of Sterling. The Battlefield project—which is being paid for with federal, state, NVTA, county and town funds—will cost $66 million for construction and will make the travel on Rt. 7 a little easier for the 120,400 daily vehicle trips that pass through the Rt. 7/Battlefield Parkway and Rt. 7/Cardinal Park Drive intersections. Supervisor Kristen C. Umstattd

Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now

By fall 2021, Rt. 7 traffic won’t exit off the highway onto Battlefield Parkway when the traffic light turns green—they’ll continue nonstop off the highway via a grade-separated interchange.

(D-Leesburg) noted that level of traffic is more than the amount of traffic that passes through Winchester along Interstate 81 each day. According to NVTA Chairman Marty Nohe, also a Prince William County supervisor, the interchange will save about 3 million hours in traffic delays by 2024. County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) thanked Wagman and its construction crews, as well as the county staff, whom she said she’d pit against any county staff in the nation, for advancing the project. “What we are doing is adding time back to peoples’ schedules,” she said. Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk said the project was first envisioned by the Town Council in 1986 and that it was a testament to the town’s and county’s ability to work alongside the state on a project of such size. “We are witnessing the power of long-range planning,” she said. “This is going to be a great project that makes a

difference to the travelers.” Without it being asked, Supervisor Geary Higgins (R-Catoctin) addressed a question that might have been on the minds of some—why he’s interested in a project that’s not in the Catoctin District. Higgins said that for anyone to travel outside of Leesburg, they first have to go through his district to get anywhere. Higgins emphasized that when he was elected to the board in 2012, the county had no money budgeted for transportation projects while the most recent Capital Improvements Program has committed $1.2 billion toward them. In addition to the interchange, the project will also remove the Cardinal Park Drive traffic light, add eastbound auxiliary lanes from the Leesburg Bypass to River Creek Parkway, add second left-turn lanes from southbound Battlefield to Fort Evans Road and from northbound River Creek Parkway to Fort Evans Road, construct a shared-use path along eastbound Battlefield, and construct a sidewalk along westbound Battlefield Parkway. Construction crews are set to mobilize on site this month. Once construction beings, Rt. 7 travelers should expect periodic lane closures during off-peak hours of the day. Those will last the entirety of the project. Beginning in fall 2020, Battlefield Parkway will be closed between Russell Branch Parkway and the Marketplace Potomac Station shopping center entrance for about 10 months, with traffic to be detoured along Fort Evans Road to the north and Russell Branch Parkway and Crosstrail Boulevard to the south. pszabo@loudounnow.com

Employees who have worked for the Town of Leesburg for five, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 years were recognized during the annual Employee Service Awards last week. Town Manager Kaj Dentler presented certificates of appreciation to employees who have achieved years-of-service milestones. Among them were seven employees who have worked for the Town of Leesburg for 30 years: Lisa Smith with the Department of Finance and Administrative Services; Police Dept. Capt. Wes Thompson; Calvin Grow and Scott Lincoln with the Public Works and Capital Projects Department; and Lyle Fisher, Roger Hall and Ricky Mullins with the Utilities Department. Mayor Kelly Burk, Vice Mayor Marty Martinez, and Councilman Ron Campbell helped present each employee with a certificate of appreciation during the event. Town employees are recognized annually during Customer Service Week.

Wanted: Photos for Town Hall Display The Commission on Public Art invites artists to submit color photographs that show the cultural diversity of the town for a new display in the Town Hall lobby.

A Leesburg business is growing to serve its four-legged friends. Old Mill Veterinary Hospital has submitted a special exception application to construct a two-story, 21,000-square-foot facility to complement its existing building off Lawson Road. According to a staff report, the applicant proposes to construct a new building, across from its current facility, that includes a canine day care facility; a veterinary hospital; and an eating establishment. A report submitted by the applicant notes that the eating establishment is intended to be for use by human patrons of the doggie day care operation, but would be open to anyone “who likes good food and cute dogs.” The establishment will have

windows allowing guests to watch the dogs socialize at daycare. While Old Mill owns the property where the new facility would be housed, it has for several years been used as a parking lot for vehicle fleet storage for the U.S. Postal Service. The staff report notes that a maximum of 150 dogs would be permitted in the day care facility, which would not accommodate overnight boardings. According to the staff report, Old Mill’s existing building will remain and complement the uses in the new facility. The application heads to the town’s Planning Commission on Oct. 17, before an additional public hearing and vote before the Town Council.

LOUDOUN IS BELOW THE NATIONAL AVERAGE on giving, despite all of our resources . Many are just not seeing the suffering. The Good Witches of Loudoun County work hard every day for our underserved community in local non-profits.

Tuesday, October 29, 6pm-8pm Oatlands, Carriage House

During last week’s board meeting, Michelle Friel read a scene from “The Season of You & Me,” involving intercourse between a teenage girl and her wheelchair-bound half-brother that is available to ninth graders who, in the formal curriculum at that age, she said, are taught abstinence and are encouraged to postpone sexual activity. Emery Miller, grandfather of 12, said when he questioned some of the material included in the classroom library, he was told that “a parent should not censor a book based upon his or her household’s beliefs.” “I took that to mean that my values aren’t valued,” said Miller, who requested that books emphasizing strong heterosexual marriage, abstinence, gender acceptance and sexual purity also be offered. Melissa Garcia, who moved to Loudoun from Miami two years ago, said those selecting the books appeared to be sneaking in material to promote a cultural agenda. She said it shouldn’t be school workers who introduce her children to these topics. “I am the mother,” she said. Laura Gray, a reading specialist at Park View High School, said she sees value in the material. “I have seen first-hand the power of providing diverse independent reading books to readers. They are the hardest titles to keep on the shelves,” she told the

School Board last week, adding that they help students become culturally, as well as academically, literate. Gray relayed the story of a substitute teacher who refused to properly address a transgender student, referring to him only as “it” during the class. “We need to do better by our students. Not just our LGBTQ students, but all students whose identities are often left out of the classroom.” During the meetings, School Board members have not responded directly to the criticism. Parents with concerns are asked to file formal requests for specific titles to be reviewed. “A few parents have requested that some of the new titles be reviewed. LCPS’ process for reviewing instructional materials requires a parent or guardian to submit a request to the principal of their child’s school,” according to school division’s most recent statement on the issue. A detailed accounting of the challenged books has not been made available. The staff also is addressing concerns that some books in the library may not be age-appropriate. Some are undergoing a “leveling” process. “For example, ‘Hurricane Child’ by Kheryn Callender, which is recommended for readers in the 3rd through 7th grades, was recently releveled from elementary school to middle school following a committee review,” according to the statement. So far, no books have been removed from the collection. Four books have been releveled. nstyer@loudounnow.com

Loudoun United Forward Gordon Wild makes a play on the ball during the Oct. 13 road victory over the Charleston Battery.

Forward Alioune Ndour scored two goals Sunday to give Loudoun United a three-game winning streak heading into its inaugural-season finale on Saturday night. Since joining the team Sept. 30, Ndour has scored four goals. His scores Oct. 13 versus the Charleston Battery came at the 11th and 83rd minutes. Charleston’s Arthur Bosua scored his team’s only goal at the 6th minute. Loudoun keeper Colin Miller recorded three saves during the match. With victories over St. Louis and Tampa Bay last week, Loudoun has moved up to 12th place in the USL’s Eastern Conference standings. With one game to play, Loudoun United, 10-17-6, is four points out of 10th place, which is the cutoff for the league’s playoff round. The final game will be played against the NY Red Bulls Reserves at Segra Field near Leesburg starting at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 19. Loudoun beat fifth-place New York in their first match April 20.

The “Walk to Freedom,” the commission suggested, should go through a community design process to gather public input. Assistant Director of Planning and Zoning John Merrithew said naming a courthouse building would have an added benefit: helping people get around. Supervisors agreed. “I like the potential to name the three buildings three different things,” said Supervisor Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn).

BALL’S BLUFF BATTLE ANNIVERSARY

Join the Friends of Ball’s Bluff at the Ball’s Bluff Regional Park just North of Leesburg, VA for a day of events commemorating the 158th Anniversary of the Battle of Ball’s Bluff.

Saturday, October 19, 2019 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. - Living History Encampment 11:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. – Ball’s Bluff Battlefield Tours

(Location: Battlefield Parking Lot Kiosk) 12:00 Noon – Skirmish by reenactors 1:00 p.m. - Civil War Music presented by the 8th George Mason Division Band, George Mason University (Location: Near Cemetery in park) 2:00 p.m. - Artillery Demonstration (Location: On Battlefield) 7:30 p.m. – Battlefield Illumination and Remembrance Program (Location: Near cemetery)

Tours take about one hour and cover about ½ mile over woodland trails. Dress comfortably with closed toe shoes. Water recommended. Portable bathrooms on site. Directions: To reach Ball’s Bluff Battlefield Regional Park, go north on the Route 15 Bypass east of Leesburg approximately a mile and a half from the intersection with Route 7. Turn right at the stoplight onto Battlefield Parkway and take the first left onto Ball’s Bluff Road. The Park entrance is located at the end of this road. From the Park entrance, follow the gravel road into the Park about 100 yards to the parking lot.

“There’s a diversity of history that has occurred at this courthouse, and it just gives more opportunity to recognize different pieces of that history. So being diverse in that matter makes a lot of sense.” He added, “it’s easier for people to get around if they know which building they’re going to.” The county government is working to build a new District Court building in Leesburg, with no plans yet to name any of them. However, he said, the statues should be mostly privately funded, reflecting the history of other monuments on the property to which the county contributed some funding, but not the majority. At the most recent monument, the Patriot Project’s Revolutionary War monument, the county contributed $50,000. Finance committee Chairman MatLANDMARK >> 11

thew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) was skeptical of investing the time and effort to win National Landmark status for the old courthouse, questioning the benefit. Merrithew said the benefit is that it’s a very rare designation. “It’s just the highest acknowledgement of the value of that property at a national level, and I think that it’s important to acknowledge the role the courthouse played,” Merrithew said. “And the Heritage Commission felt the landmark status was that appropriate level of recognition.” “Part of the board’s vision states, ‘by honoring its [the county’s] rich heritage,’ and I think part of our rich heritage is the history of the courthouse, and that’s why I think it’s important,” said Supervisor Tony R. Buffington (R-Blue Ridge), quoting from this Board of Supervisors’ adopted vision statement. With a project of that scale potentially years away from completion, Letourneau suggested a smaller, interim display. “So that we we’re acting with some swiftness in this, could we do something like interpretive signs almost as placeholders for something else, or just kind of have a little bit of the history laid out on this facility so we don’t have to wait five years for someone to raise money for this memorial or something like that?” Letourneau asked. He said the next step would be to formulate more specific recommendations for the project in future committee

meetings. County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) also asked that staff briefings be made available to the other supervisors who do not sit on the finance committee. If the buildings are named, and if one is named after Houston, it is not yet decided whether that will be the historic building or the new courthouse that has not yet been built. According to research led by Mitch Diamond, in 1932, Houston led the first all-black legal defense team in a southern state at the Loudoun County courthouse, defending a black man, George Crawford, facing the death penalty in a murder case. Houston worked to document a racially biased jury selection process. Although Crawford was found guilty, he was spared the death penalty, unusual for a black man convicted of murdering a white person. The case would mark an important moment for America’s justice system, and two years later, the Supreme Court ruled biased jury selection unconstitutional. Future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall, one of Houston’s students, worked on the case as a researcher. Houston would go on to help put pressure on the local School Board and raise money to build and equip the new Frederick Douglass High School, the first high school for black students in Loudoun. It opened in 1941. Read the Heritage Commission’s courthouse grounds history research online at loudoun.gov/4054/Courthouse-Grounds-Research-Project.

School Board Delays Adoption of New Grading Regime 2 Weeks BY NORMAN K. STYER

[ SCHOOL NOTES ]

After nearly a year of work, it will be a couple more weeks before the School Board will vote on a new policy intended to streamline and standardize grading across the district. The School Board voted 7-1 Oct. 8 to defer a vote on the proposal until its Oct. 22 meeting. Chris Croll (Catoctin) opposed the motion and Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) was absent. Among the changes getting the most attention in the eight-page policy are plans to eliminate grades of zero for missing assignments, prohibitions on opportunities for extra credit and doing away with homework grades. The policy also calls for teachers to offer reassessments for students who perform poorly on tests. The revised policy was developed over the past year with the guidance of a consultant and input from focus groups of educators, parents and college recruiters. Administrators hope to have the comprehensive rewrite of school division grading policies in place by the next school year. According to the policy, the philosophy of the school division’s kindergarten through high school grading system should be that “[a]ssessment and grading of student progress are based on the premise that students have diverse capabilities and individual patterns of progress and learning. Teachers and principals are respon-

sible for developing instructional plans based on frequent and varied assessments of the students’ needs, abilities, and progress. Grades shall not reflect behavior but rather, a student’s mastery of content or competencies of the curriculum.” Among the concerns raised during the board’s past two meetings is that teachers haven’t had enough input. Several have expressed worries about increased workload and questioned the merits of some of the proposed changes. School Board members on Tuesday also raised questions about some of the changes and said they needed more time to meet with teachers and parents before deciding if they would propose amendments before an adoption vote. Tom Marshall (Leesburg) and Beth Huck (At Large) were among those who said there is value in allowing teachers to offer extra credit. “For a student who struggles on a test or has a bad day and fails a test and really wants to do some extra work to show competency in a subject, I believe extra credit is a way to achieve that,” Huck said. Chairman Jeff Morse (Dulles) was among those questioning whether the policy removes too much flexibility from teachers who best know the needs of individual students. “All we can do is make sure all the teachers have the same training and same materials,” he said, adding that

consistency would come from promoting collaboration among teachers. “I really think we need to get some more input from teachers,” Huck said. Croll and Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) said it was important to get the policy finalized so work could begin to develop the detailed guidelines that will be used to implement it. Croll said that no policy change will win the support of the entire staff. “This is a specific philosophy. We’re going to have staff who buy the philosophy and we’re going to have staff members who don’t,” she said. “There will be some staff members who say there should be no reassessments because you should study and get it right the first time. We have others who believe in the growth mindset and feel it is really about mastery and not behavior.” She said it’s important to build consistency in grading. “Right now, it is the wild west. Teachers are inconsistent and students are gaming the system,” Croll said. “We’re trying to get to standardization.” Although agreeing to a two-week delay in the vote, Hornberger said that many of the concerns raised by School Board members and teachers already were addressed in the policy and would be further defined in the implementation guidelines. “There is a lot of flexibility here,” he said.

Fatal Fire Started in Kitchen The Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office has determined that unattended cooking was the cause of the last week’s fatal house fire in Sterling. 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 smoke and initiated a second alarm for assistance. Emergency crews found one adult resident outside suffering from burn injuries. The patient was transported by ambulance to the Burn Center at MedStar Washington Hospital for treatment of injuries described as non-life threatening. In addition to the death of one resident and severe burns suffered by another, investigators estimated damage to the Giles Place townhouse at $144,000. Also, investigators found there were no working smoke alarms in the home.

She competed through the Advanced level and rode the famed eventer Theodore O’Connor at the beginning of his career. While still competing, she also operated Five Point Performance Horses, a business developing young event horses and fox hunters. In a statement posted on Facebook, her husband Neil Amatt wrote, “Nicolle died doing what she loved. It was quick and painless, and she was not alone—I thank Katie MacSwain for being with her. She was the best mother and wife any man could ask for.” A GoFundMe campaign launched to support Neil and their 2-year-old daughter, Zara, had raised more than $38,000 by Tuesday.

The Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating a reported indecent exposure in Brambleton on Oct. 9 and is working to determine if it is connected to a similar case reported this past spring. A witness reported she was walking in the south parking garage of the Brambleton Town Center when around 5 p.m. she observed a naked man standing in the stairwell. The suspect was observed

simulating a sexual act. He was described as a white male of medium build and height, with dark brown hair and dark brown facial hair. She had no contact with the suspect. Deputies searched the area but did not find the man. Detectives believe this case may be connected to a similar incident that occurred in the same area on April 8. In that case, a teenager was in the north parking garage of the Brambleton Town Center around 6:30 p.m. when she observed a naked man behind her car. The suspect appeared to be performing a sexual act. The victim drove away. During the April 8 investigation, a composite sketch of the suspect was developed and released to the public. Anyone with any information regarding his possible identity is asked to contact Detective S. Smith at 703-7771021. You may also submit a tip through the Loudoun County Sheriff ’s Office app.

[ BIZ NOTES ] The Nutrition Spot to Open in Leesburg

October 17, 2019

Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now

David Groy, a Leesburg dentist who’s been practicing for 39 years, performs a dental exam on a patient at his Wirt Street office in downtown Leesburg.

Groy Sells Dental Practice After 39 Years BY PATRICK SZABO Most residents have a preferred family doctor or dentist they visit for routine checkups and medical exams. But few have a doctor they’ve been seeing since the debut of Post-It Notes and the Rubik’s Cube. David S. Groy has been working on Loudouners’ teeth since he set up his private dental practice in downtown Leesburg on Wirt Street in 1980. Throughout the past four decades, he’s seen upwards of 20,000 patients. Now, after 39 years spending his days inspecting and working on close to a half-million teeth, Groy sold his practice after a conversation with his wife when they decided to retire and enjoy a more passive lifestyle while they’re still in good health. Groy, 68, was born and raised in the Philadelphia area and by the time he was ready for college, he knew what he wanted to do with his life. He said three factors were at play when he decided to pursue dentistry—he liked working with his hands, he enjoyed the sciences, and he was fond of his dentist’s work. But when Groy arrived at Gettysburg College and noticed that he was hunkered down focusing on schoolwork all the time while his friends were out having fun, he said he thought to himself, “oh my heavens, I can’t do this.” So he switched his major to business administration. When he graduated in 1972, he went to work for DuPont as a salesman. Once Groy noticed the energy his fellow salesmen exhibited—an energy he said made them seem like they could do anything—he decided to go back to school to give dentistry another shot. For the next year and a half, Groy piecemealed his schooling together between Penn State University and Rosemont College, all the while living like a hermit but glad that he did it, he said.

Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now

David S. Groy stands with Jennifer Pham, the dentist who recently bought Groy’s 39-year-old dental practice in downtown Leesburg on Wirt Street.

Eventually, he got into dental school at Temple University and spent the next four years either glued to dental books or immersed in the medical world. He completed his residency at Philly’s Albert Einstein Medical Center. In 1978, the summer before his senior year in dental school, Groy and his wife traveled from Newport, RI to Savannah, GA to see where they wanted to settle down and start their lives, and careers, together. Groy said they visited Loudoun because his wife knew the area from working for a handicap riding program in Leesburg in the mid-1970s. The rest was history. They decided on Leesburg and Groy set up his dental practice on Wirt Street. “This seemed to be a good fit,” he said. For the first 10 months of operation in 1980, Groy, his wife, their daughter and their dog lived in half of the 1,670-square-foot office, which didn’t even have a shower. Instead, the couple drove about 10 minutes south to the gas station at the corner of Rt. 15 and Harmony Church Road, owned by one

of his patients, to get cleaned up. In the early years, Groy operated his dental practice by himself with one exam room. As the years went on, he added more operatories and grew his staff. Today, the practice employees two dental hygienists and three assistants. Some of the staffers Groy has employed throughout the years worked alongside him for decades. Groy said that while he can’t recall any particular dental procedures as being more challenging or memorable than others, he did describe an instance in 1980 that will always stick with him. He said that when his very first patient came in, he realized that he was out of hand soap and went next door to get some. When he came back, his dog was licking his patient’s mouth as he sat waiting for Groy to begin cleaning his teeth. “It was OK. They were nice people,” Groy said. Tens of thousands of patients, cleanings and procedures later, Groy decided to step aside and sell the practice to Jennifer Pham, who’s been practicing dentistry in the area for 10 years. Groy said he’ll miss his co-workers and the patients, some of whom are the children and grandchildren of his first patients. “That’s really hard to not see them come as I have over the years,” he said. But, he said, the practice will be in good hands. Groy and Pham agreed that, because they’re both Temple graduates, their philosophy on dentistry is much the same. Groy said Pham is “a really nice fit” at the practice, which has been renamed from Groy Family Dentistry to Downtown Family Dental of Leesburg. Aside from their similar takes on dental practices, Groy said he’s also happy about Pham’s arrival because he “didn’t want that vibe of corporate taking over.” Pham said she’s looking to maintain GROY >> 19

Retirement was never Groy’s goal and he now works two days a week with the Northern Virginia Dental Clinic, which provides dental care for low-income residents. “I really enjoy that—it allows me to stay in dentistry,” he said. Groy said he also plans to essentially pick back up where he left off in dental school, before he ran out of time to do much other than practice dentistry and raise a family. Forty years after going on a mission trip to the Dominican Republic, Groy said he’s now focused on continuing those kinds of trips once a year. “I’d like to keep my fingers in dentistry,” he said. pszabo@loudounnow.com

Purcellville Allstate agency owner Jason Sengpiehl worked with four other area agencies to gain support for the Ryan Bartel Foundation’s We’re All Human 5K Color Run fundraiser, securing a grant equal to half of the event’s $20,000 fundraising goal. The foundation’s mission is to prevent youth suicide through awareness, upstream educational programs and activities that support and empower youth, families and the community at-large, through acceptance, connection resiliency and hope. Another group of Allstate agencies secured the grant to help the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society fund researched into cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and to improve the quality of life of patients and families. Allstate volunteers earned grant by working the registration table, food service and course logistics for The Ryan Kerrigan Leukemia Classic at Lansdowne Resort.

Round Hill Area Residents Oppose Utility Expansion, Rural Development

BY PATRICK SZABO Nearly 30 residents crammed into the Round Hill Town Office on Thursday night to voice their opinions on a proposal crafted by the Planning Commission that would permit the town to extend its municipal utility service to three additional properties outside the town limits—a 20-acre property along Airmont Road, the abandoned 7-acre Weona Villa Motel property and a 12acre property across East Loudoun Street from the motel. Of the 18 area residents who spoke during the public hearing, a majority opposed the change and the potential for increased development. Only a handful spoke in favor, citing a need to provide housing geared toward the less fortunate. On Feb. 7, Tree of Life Ministries Executive Director Paul Smith proposed to build a 32-micro-cottage community for low-income residents, specifically seniors, on the Weona Villa motel property. A month later, developer John Clark proposed to build 20 energy-efficient homes for seniors and first-time homebuyers on his 20-acre property along Airmont Road. Those proposals prompted the Town Council on March 28 to direct the Planning Commission to review and consider amending the comprehensive plan to possibly make way for extending utility service to those properties. Five months later, the commission finalized a draft plan amendment and recommended sending it to a joint

public hearing with the Town Council. That draft amendment includes new language to support the development of town-, county- or state-owned community recreation centers; housing for area workforce, seniors, infirmed or disabled residents; and nursing homes, residential care or assisted living centers on the three properties. Many residents were put off by the amendment, and, even more so, the development proposals. During the Feb. 21 Town Council meeting, they

spoke out against Smith’s proposed development and continued their opposition Thursday night. Area resident Andy Rider told the council and commission that he hoped the town hadn’t already made promises to developers before the comprehensive plan amendment has even been approved. “I hope this isn’t a sham,” he said, adding that building at a density of 3-5 homes per acre in rural Loudoun DEVELOPMENT >> 27

Purcellville Talks Water Project Delays in Response to Shrinking Utility Funds BY PATRICK SZABO With minimal increases to utility rates this year, Purcellville residents’ finances probably weren’t affected much when the Town Council adopted the budget. But mixed with a lack of anticipated water and sewer connections, a burdensome sewer debt and nearly 20 water projects that need attention, the town’s finances were. The town’s Water Fund is down by 39 percent and its Sewer Funds by 16 percent compared with Fiscal Year 2019, operating at $3.23 million and $4.08 million. Those funds were higher last year and even higher in Fiscal Year 2018, when water and sewer fund revenue came in a combined $1.5 million over budget. This year’s utility funds also show a 75 percent drop in expected water connection fee revenue, a 90 percent drop in expected sewer connection fee revenue and utility rates that were increased by less than the recommended amount—by 3 percent, rather than 9. Town Manager David Mekarski asserts that the utility funds aren’t deplet-

ing, noting that they’re above the levels that the town’s enterprise fund financial policy establishes. He said the town knows it will have difficulty maintaining structural balance within the funds over time if it doesn’t take action to correct the issues at hand. Mekarski said there are two factors at play—the town’s sewer debt is nearly $31 million, and its water projects are many.

Town Considering 7 Water Project Delays While water fee revenues have come in at virtually the same amount in the last

five fiscal years, the town staff estimates that the town in Fiscal Year 2019 pulled in about $1.68 million less revenue than what it had originally budgeted for in the water fund. The town’s five-year funding for water projects has also increased from $963,500 to $5.68 million to $7.28 million in the current fiscal year. On Oct. 9, Mekarski, Public Works Director Buster Nicholson and Capital Projects and Engineering Manager Dale Lehnig briefed the Town Council on a possible strategy that would relieve pressure on the water fund—by punting some projects to the next decade. Mekarski told the council that while the town currently has $21 million worth of water fund-related capital improvements to be completed between 2020 and 2030, the town staff has found a way to drop that amount to nearly $13 million by delaying seven projects to 2030-2040. “That’s going to help a lot,” Mekarski said. According to the risk analysis, 12 projects need to be worked on between now and 2030, with $220,000 to be spent UTILITY FUNDS >> 28

HILLSBORO Town Puts Rt. 9 Road Project Out to Bid The Town of Hillsboro on Oct. 10 put its Traffic Calming and Pedestrian Safety Project out to bid, with a Nov. 7 deadline for firms to respond. Mayor Roger Vance said that firms interested in bidding are required to attend a workshop that will walk them through the ins and outs of the project, which will install two roundabouts on each end of the town to slow traffic by spring 2021. “It’s a somewhat complicated project so we want to make sure bidders understand it,” he said. Amid resident concerns that the project will close at least one lane of Rt. 9 through town for 14 months once construction begins, and both lanes for up to 60 non-consecutive days, the town on Oct. 8 held its first public information session to provide residents with project details and to answer their questions, drawing nearly 100 people including Clarke County Chairman David Weiss and a Jefferson County commissioner. Vance said the main concern

morphing into a real project. After a half-hour closed session last Thursday night, the Town Council voted 4-2 to authorize Town Manager Rob Ritter to compile a request for proposals that will solicit interest from firms interested in designing and building a 2,125-square-foot town office expansion. Although the council discussed financing during the open session portion of the meeting, it opted to go into closed session to discuss and agree on a not-to-exceed amount for the project, which it did not disclose. Councilmen Mike Dunlap and Matthew Schilling voted against authorizing Ritter to issue the advertisement. Although Dunlap noted earlier in the meeting that the council needed to determine a cost for the town office expansion project and that the council has engaged in “too many discussions with too many numbers all over the map,” he said later that the town should first focus on completing other infrastructure projects. During the meeting, the council discussed three financing options to pay for an estimated $850,000 office expansion. The first option would see the town use $550,000 from reserves and apply for a $300,000 loan to be paid back in 20 years with annual payments of close to $20,000. Another option would use $350,000 from reserves along with a $500,000 loan to be paid back in 20 years at close to $33,000 annually. The third option would pull $100,000 from reserves and have the town apply for a $750,000 loan to be paid back in 20 years at about $49,000 annually. The fourth option is to take $100,000 from reserves and apply for a $750,000 loan to be paid back in 30 years at about $36,000 annually. Mayor Nate Fontaine mentioned before the vote that the Town Council needed to take action on the matter because it’s been talked about for so long, adding that the 11-year-old single-wide trailer that some staff members have been using as additional office space is overdue for a replacement.

Loudoun Now File Photo

The Lovettsville Town Council is considering a design-build project to construct a 2,125square-foot Town Office addition in the coming years.

“We must make a decision to do something … Something must get done to fix it,” he said. The vote comes after years of urging from the town staff to get the Town Council to authorize an expansion of the existing 1,250-square-foot office, which includes a council chambers that doubles as extra office space and often becomes overcrowded during town meetings. In 2013, the town paid an architectural firm $57,000 to perform a preliminary site evaluation that concluded the town needed 5,800-square-feet of office space. A few years later, when staff compiled a report outlining plans to replace the singlewide trailer with a doublewide for $100,000, the Town Council removed funding for such a project. Since 2008, the town has spent $66,000 on the trailer rental and is now spending about $10,000 annually on it. In early 2018, the town spent $8,000 on an office expansion plan, but the Town Council decided to not move the project past its conceptual phase. This year, Ritter presented a $1.5 million proposal to expand the office into a 4,180-square-foot building. He also presented an option to rent or purchase a single or doublewide trailer, following notification from the trailer manufacturer that the trailer was nine years past its recommended replacement date and that it might not hold up well during the next snowfall. After numerous discussions, the council did not move those plans forward. pszabo@loudounnow.com

Vance said he clarified that because the eastbound lane of Rt. 9 would be open from 4-9 a.m. every weekday, traffic on the local detour shouldn’t be too heavy.

The elected council member will sit on the dais until the term expires on June 30, 2022. In the meantime, the council will appoint an interim council member. Following last week’s meeting, the council went into closed session to review the five applications it received. It could interview candidates on Oct. 24 before possibly making an appointment that night. The council last week also voted to authorize Town Administrator Danny Davis to pay the Baker Tilly Springsted municipal advisory firm $14,340 to help the town find a new treasurer, following the July 24 resignation of Tina Staples.

Loudoun Freedom Center Interested in Asbury Church The Town of Middleburg received one response, from the Loudoun Freedom Center, to a request for proposals that sought to solicit submissions from entities interested in purchasing and restoring the 190-year-old Asbury Church property, which the town has owned for the last five years. Business & Economic Development Director Jamie Gaucher said the town is working to assemble a review team that will grade the Freedom Center’s response and make a recommendation to the Town Council on how to proceed. According to the advertisement, the proposal will be evaluated on its plans to complete restoration work in a timely manner, its long-range financial plan, its plans to preserve as much of the building as possible, its plans to celebrate the property’s history, its plans to restore the interior as close to its traditional layout as possible, its outlook on the potential communitywide impact, and its proposed purchase price. The Loudoun Freedom Center also expressed interest in the property in April, when its founder and CEO, Michelle Thomas, proposed that the town could transfer ownership of the 0.23-acre property to the center as a deed of gift. Two weeks later, Loudoun construction proposed to purchase the property for $50,000. The firm did not submit a response to the town’s formal request for proposals, though.

Development << FROM 24 would be “preposterous.” He asked the Town Council to think the proposed amendment through methodically and not exploit the area’s “precious resources” for Smith’s or Clark’s benefit. “Let us not make their lives enriched, let us enrich our own lives,” he said. Area resident Jeremy Kendall said he “ran away from Purcellville” after more than 22 years when a developer started building 180 homes on the property behind him and that he now finds himself in a similar situation in Round Hill with the Airmont Road property. Lakepoint Village resident Bob Kemner echoed Kendall, noting that he moved to Round Hill last year from Leesburg because the town was getting too large for his liking. He said the Weona Villa property is home to bear and deer and that developers “shouldn’t tear it up.” “I moved out here for a reason,” he said. Another resident pointed out that while the Town Council and town staff have emphasized that the comprehensive plan amendment would merely give the town the ability to supply new properties with utility service, and that no developer has submitted an application for development yet, there’s no other reason for the town to consider a plan amendment other than to prepare the land for development. “If we’re making an amendment to the plan, I’m not sure how comprehensive it is,” he said. Among those speaking in favor of the amendment were Smith and Tree of Life’s chief operations officer. Smith thanked the town for its efforts to achieve unmet housing needs in the area. He said his development plans call for affordable cottages that foster relationships, are community centric, are designed to complement the surrounding landscape and are built with sustainable materials.

According to the Town Council’s intent to amend document that it forwarded to the Planning Commission, the Housing & Community Development Chapter of the town’s comprehensive plan establishes an objective to permit cluster subdivisions in the Greater Round Hill Area “to encourage the development of smaller homes on smaller lots as alternative housing choices for multiple population groups.” The cluster subdivision option “is a good example of what affordable housing or workforce housing could look like in Round Hill,” the comprehensive plan reads. Town Administrator Melissa Hynes said the town wants to encourage development that emphasizes quality over quantity and is built thoughtfully and carefully. She said the town doesn’t need more single-family homes that are 4,000 square feet in size or larger. “We want a new home to look like it’s always belonged here,” she said. According to the draft amendment, five conditions would apply to development on the three properties being considered—it would have to align with the town’s comprehensive plan; not impact the integrity or authenticity of the town’s historic character and match, to some extent, buildings in the town’s Historic District; not include townhomes; and minimally disturb surrounding properties. The final condition would be up to the town to determine whether it has sufficient water and sewer capacity to serve any proposed developments. If the Town Council signs off on the comprehensive plan amendment, the town could then serve the properties with water and sewer, which also would provide additional revenue in the forms of one-time tap fees and ongoing water and sewer fees. The Planning Commission did not take further action on the draft comprehensive plan amendment Thursday night, but it could recommend it to the Town Council for review and a vote at its November meeting. pszabo@loudounnow.com

Purcellville Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator Kevin Talley was struck and killed by a tractor trailer last Monday morning in front of his Clarke County home. According to the Virginia State Police, Talley, 52, suddenly walked onto the westbound lanes just east of Wickliffe Road near Berryville of Rt. 7 at 9:32 a.m. Oct. 7 where a 2000 Kenworth tractor trailer was unable to avoid hitting him. He died at the scene. Virginia State Police Trooper J. Hausler is investigating the crash. No charges have been filed. According to a Facebook post by Justin Ivatts, the reverend of the St. Mary’s Episcopal Church where Talley served as the senior warden, Talley “died instantly” while getting his newspaper from his mailbox. “Our prayers go out for his wife, Michelle, his daughters, Sylvia and Olivia, and the entire St. Mary’s family,”

Ivatts posted. Talley’s funeral will be held at 3 p.m. this Sunday, Oct. 20 at Enders and Shirley Funeral Home in Berryville. A reception at St. Mary’s parish hall will follow. During the Oct. 8 Purcellville Town Council meeting, Vice Mayor Tip Stinnette thanked Town Manager David Mekarski for bringing grief counselors quickly to aid Talley’s co-workers, and thanked the town staff for supporting each other and looking after Talley’s family. “I have a lot of empathy, a lot of sympathy for what you’re going through,” he said. Mekarski, through tears, thanked Stinnette for the acknowledgement, noting how well town staffers pulled together to console each other. “I realized just how much love and how strong this team is,” he said. Talley had worked with the town for more than 22 years.

on two of them before July 1 next year. the replacement of the F Street water main and the installation of a new intake structure at the Hirst Reservoir. Other projects for this decade include the $2.24 million replacement of the water main connecting the reservoir with the water treatment plant; $2.3 million for improvements to the water treatment plant; $1.95 million to prepare for a possible water connection with a neighboring jurisdiction; $1.12 million to replace the Cooper Springs raw water main; $700,000 to replace the G Street water main; $600,000 toward the Jeffries Filter Facility; $300,000 to replace the Holly Lane water main; $290,000 to replace the 12th Street water main; and $126,000 for the installation of an A Street water line loop. According to Lehnig, one of the most important water projects for the town to consider handling immediately is the $2 million replacement of the 59-year-old 12-inch water line that connects the water treatment plant and 1-million-gallon water storage tank with the town’s water main. Lehnig said that if the pipe were to break, there would be no other way to flow water from the plant to the town. Projects that could be delayed to the next decade include $3.422 million for the construction of a new elevated water tank; $2.3 million to finish the water treatment plant improvements; $2.3 million for phase two of the project that will replace the water line connecting the water treatment plant with the town’s water main; $337,000 for the replacement of the E Street water main; $232,000 for the replacement of yet another water main; $163,000 for an extension of the Springsbury Drive water main; and $112,000 for an extension of the Rugby Court water main. The town staff decided which decade each project would fall under by determining the likelihood of pipe failure, which was determined by assessing pipe age, pressure and breakage history. Vice Mayor Tip Stinnette said that last week’s meeting wasn’t called as an emergency response to shrinking utility funds, but that it had been planned for about a year. In addition to the town’s risk analysis, the Jacobs engineering firm has also been working on a water resources study to prioritize utility projects by considering the capacity of water each project can provide, whether it will improve the reliability and availability of the town’s water supply, its complexity, whether it needs to be performed sooner than others to conform with local and state regulations, and whether it needs to be completed sooner than others because of a public health or safety concern.

Sewer Debt a Factor Aside from the water fund, the town’s sewer fund has also seen a decline in recent years. In Fiscal Year 2018, the fund was down by about $70,000 from the previous year. In Fiscal Year 2019, it was down by $1.4 million. That same year, the town estimated that it pulled in $880,000 less in sewer revenue than it had originally budgeted for. This year, the town budgeted $780,000 less than it did last year. Mekarski said that in the current fis-

cal year, the town is required to pay off $1.16 million in sewer debt, with payments going up to $2.5 million by Fiscal Year 2023. He emphasized that the town might be unable to pay $5.5 million on its debt service if it doesn’t adjust rates or raise alternative revenue, such as connecting its water and sewer system with the Town of Hamilton, as previously considered. “That could be a very positive thing for the wastewater fund,” he said.

Lost Chances for a Remedy? Some feel that Purcellville could have avoided some, or much, of its current utility fund issues by annexing the 131acre Warner Brook property, which the Town Council voted to deny in October 2018. If that vote had gone through, the 160-single-family-home development and accompanying commercial center would have provided the town with $10.9 million in one-time tap fees and about $1 million in net annual tax revenues, according to estimates from RCLO Real Estate Advisors. The Municipal & Financial Services Group last year also suggested the town raise utility rates by 9 percent each year from Fiscal Year 2020-2024 to achieve structural balance of the utility funds by Fiscal Year 2025. Before the vote to deny the Warner Brook annexation request, Mayor Kwasi Fraser described the suggested 9 percent increase as being “mythical” and a “scare tactic” that is “not based on any degree of precision or fact.” Fraser has not responded to emails or calls to comment on the town’s utility funds. Mekarski ultimately proposed, and the Town Council adopted, a budget that included a 3 percent utility fund increase, bumping water rates up to $6.66 per 1,000 gallons and sewer rates to $15.95 per 1,000 gallons. Mekarski said he recommended deferring the 9 percent increase in Fiscal Year 2020 to allow the Stantec engineering firm, the town’s utility rate consultant, to complete its utility rate study. Stantec was expected to brief the Town Council Tuesday night and is slated to propose a new water and sewer rate structure on Oct. 28, which the town will use when deciding how to set utility rates for the next 10 fiscal years. Overall, Mekarski said the town is going to simplify its 17-tier water and sewer rate model to ensure equity for all utility customers, seeing that some users might not be “paying their fair share,” while others are paying for more than they use. He said the town is open to looking at alternative scenarios to bring the utility funds out of a potential crisis by possibly sending a portion of the meals tax to the utility funds or paying for utility fund capital improvements with a portion of property tax revenue. “Basically, everything is on the table,” he said. He said the Town Council could also consider raising utility rates halfway through Fiscal Year 2020, but that staff feels there’s enough time to discuss potential rate hikes during the Fiscal Year 2021 budget process. Up to five utility fund work sessions are tentatively scheduled throughout November, with another two in December. pszabo@loudounnow.com

Annual Wreath Laying Shows Continued Work at Belmont

29 October 17, 2019

Drummer Joseph Ngwa leads a procession on a tour of continuing work at the African American Burial Ground for the Enslaved at Belmont Sunday, Oct. 13.

BY RENSS GREENE The fifth annual wreath laying ceremony at the African American Burial Ground for the Enslaved at Belmont on Sunday showed continued work to memorialize the people buried there and opened the site up to visitors. Since last year’s ceremony, new trails

and signs, a new entranceway, and the beginnings of a replica schoolhouse have appeared at the site, from work led by Boy Scouts including Mikaeel Martinez Jaka. His Eagle Scout project laid down the first gravel trail and benches through the site. Many people interred at the long long-neglected burial ground were

enslaved at the nearby Belmont and Coton plantations—today’s Belmont Country Club and Lansdowne on the Potomac neighborhoods. Under leadership from Michelle Thomas, the Loudoun Freedom Center worked to develop permanent protections for the land. The property, at the southeast corner of the Rt. 7/Belmont

Ridge Road intersection, was threatened by development and was listed among Preservation Virginia’s list of Most Endangered Historic Places. Sunday’s ceremony was led by Thomas and the center’s executive director, Leesburg Town Councilman Ron Campbell. “I don’t know about you, but never before have I seen so much change, so quickly, so important in Loudoun County, and so I’m proud of the work that we do here at the Loudoun Freedom Center,” Thomas said rgreene@loudounnow.com

At the Hospital Rummage Sale, Volunteering Is a Family Affair BY JAN MERCKER For hundreds of volunteers, making the mammoth Ladies Board Rummage Sale run smoothly means a full week of fun, hard work and hustle. And for three generations in one Purcellville clan, it’s a family affair. This year’s rummage sale will be held Saturday and Sunday at the Morven Park Equestrian Center north of Leesburg. The sale’s new co-chair, Megan O’Brien, has been working with her mother, teen sons, sister, niece and nephew all week and throughout the year to get ready—from working at donation drops in the months leading up to the sale to the all-hands-ondeck whirlwind that is prep week to the non-stop action of the two-day sale. For O’Brien, volunteering is both exhausting and incredibly rewarding, and this year she takes it up a notch, running the show with her friend and fellow Ladies Board member, Joylyn Hannahs. “I remember a moment last year when the sale came to a close, we came to a kind of hug huddle,” O’Brien said. “It’s such a long tiring week and to see people of all ages working so hard, there’s great joy in it. That’s probably what the kids take away from it in their world of cellphones and digital devices. There’s an emotion to it.” O’Brien’s mother, Mary Paul Jones, started volunteering at the sale in the early 1970s, not long after her family

Jones was a member of the hospital ladies board for nearly a decade, then took a 25-year hiatus when she went back to teaching at Leesburg Elementary School. When Jones retired in 2011, she headed straight back to the sale and was recruited to help run the busy and popular furniture department, bringing in O’Brien, another daughter, Wendy Lockhart, and Wendy’s son, Justin Lockhart, who’s now a senior at Loudoun Valley High School. Justin’s sister, Morgan, and her cousins, John and Sam O’Brien, who all now attend Loudoun Valley, came on board five years ago, and it’s now a full-on family tradition. “I love to volunteer at the rummage sale because I like to help out my grandma because I know it’s really important to her and her friends who are also involved.

because my cousins and my brother help out. It’s a way we can spend time together and help out a good cause,” said 15-year-old Morgan Lockhart, who has been volunteering at the sale since 2014. The rummage sale has a healthy tradition of youth volunteers, from middle and high schoolers on the Columbus Day holiday that often falls on the first day of sale setup to homeschool students helping throughout the week, to an occasional skip day for a great cause. “They just think this is the greatest thing in the world. It’s so nice to see kids today taking time to volunteer at a rummage sale,” Jones said. The teens are on hand to help with sorting donations, moving furniture and larger donations and helping shoppers load cars on sale days. Jones’ FAMILY AFFAIR >> 34

Family affair << FROM 30 grandkids also help out on donation days throughout the year leading up to the sale, unloading donations and loading trailers to head to Morven Park. And their energy and enthusiasm can make a big difference in a volunteer pool still dominated by retirees. Justin Lockhart, who’s now over 6 feet tall, has a reputation as the muscle in the furniture department for his tireless ability to move heavy pieces. “They really work and they’re so excited about it. I think they have this on their calendar as much as we do,” O’Brien said. “And they love the lunch, too.” Area businesses and individuals donate catered lunches for sale volunteers every year, another big selling point for volunteers. O’Brien, who runs a marketing firm in downtown Leesburg, and Hannahs, a photographer, are both Loudoun natives and part of a new generation of leaders on the Ladies Board. In recent years, a new crop of Generation X chairwomen have made changes to bring the 81-year-old sale into the 21st Century, mixing old traditions with current trends. After seeing the success of The Look upscale clothing department launched several years ago, Hannahs and O’Brien are updating several other departments. The high-end housewares department formerly known as the Bou-

tique is now rebranded as The Nest, while the antiques department is now known as Vintage in an effort to attract GenX and millennial collectors. Organizers are also expanding the furniture department with a new outdoor living space in a tent outside the main barn. This year, the sale is also catering to collectors by offering expanded early bird hours for hardcore rummagers, moving the VIP window from one to two hours. For $15, shoppers can get in at 8 a.m. and shop for two hours before the big crowds arrive when free admission begins at 10 a.m. This gives serious shoppers more time to tackle the sprawling equestrian center, which includes a main barn with furniture, housewares and clothing and outbuildings with toys, books and holiday decor. The changes are going over well with department chairs, many of whom have been working the sale for decades and several of whom are in their 80s. “We’re more than happy to see the young women with their enthusiasm. Everything needs to change a little” Jones said. But both O’Brien and Jones agree that the traditions are what make volunteering so rewarding. “I think it’s the camaraderie in your department and enjoying people you see once a year and getting to hear about their life and working together. It’s a good kind of tired,” Jones said. “You really feel that you’ve accomplished something.”

This annual festival makes its first appearance in Loudoun and features unlimited tastings from Virginia wineries, food trucks and oysters for sale. Tickets are $39 for general admission at noon, $69 for VIP admission at 11 a.m.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE

LEESBURG TOWN CODE AMENDMENTS:

The LOUDOUN COUNTY BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS will hold a public hearing in the BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MEETING ROOM, County Government Center, 1 Harrison Street, S.E., Leesburg, Virginia, on Thursday, October 24, 2019, at 6:00 p.m. to consider the following:

In accordance with Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended, §§ 15.2-1102 and 15.2-1700, the Leesburg Town Council will hold a public hearing on: Tuesday, October 22, 2019, at 7:00 P.M. in the Council Chambers of Town Hall, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, VA at which time the public shall have the right to present oral and written testimony on proposed amendments to the Town’s Noise Ordinance regarding the use of amplified sound in the Town. The following amendments will be discussed and may be enacted in whole or in part: Sec. 24-182 (Declaration of Policy) (Noise Ordinance) Retain Sound Amplifying Equipment Permit Process: (5) Sound amplifying equipment—Registration. (a.) Except as provided in subsection (4) of this section, no person shall use or cause to be used sound amplifying equipment in or over the town, unless such equipment is first registered with the town. Application for such registration shall be filed with the town manager at least 48 hours in advance of the use, and shall state the following, unless the element would not be applicable: 8. The proposed hours of operation, which shall cannot begin before 8:00 10:30 a.m. or extend past 8:00 10:00 p.m. of any day.

Creighton Hills, LLC, of Leesburg, Virginia, has submitted an application for an appeal of the July 12, 2019, Zoning Administrator determination (ZCOR)-2019-0067 which found that: 1) the consolidation of, and corresponding vacation of existing lot lines associated with, the five existing record lots located on the north side of Lime Kiln Road (Route 733) may be accomplished with SBPR-2017-0009, without the need for approval of a separate boundary line adjustment (BLAD) application, as long as the entire acreage of the lots is included within the proposed cluster subdivision; there can be no residue; 2) PIN 355-35-1657 and PIN 355-29-9175, located on the south side of Lime Kiln Road (Route 733), cannot be part of the tract of land that will be used for the cluster subdivision SBPR-2017-0009 that is proposed to be located on the north side of Lime Kiln Road; 3) the proposed configuration of private access easements for SBPR-2007-0009 does not meet the AR-1 cluster subdivision requirement because the 39 proposed lots with frontage on and being accessed solely by that one private access easement exceeds the maximum permitted 25 lots; 4) proposed emergency access easements on the Creighton Hills Emergency Access Exhibit, dated November 28, 2019, do not meet the definition of a driveway and are therefore not exempt from the Steep Slope Standards under Section 5-1508 of the Zoning Ordinance; and 5) prior land disturbance that created a dam on the subject property within Very Steep Slopes is a violation of the Steep Slope Standards. The subject property is zoned AR-1 (Agricultural Rural-1) under the Revised 1993 Zoning Ordinance, and also is located partially within the Floodplain Overlay District (FOD) and partially within the Mountainside Development Overlay District (MDOD). The subject property comprises 7 parcels that are located on the north and south sides of Lime Kiln Road at its intersection with Crooked Bridge Lane, and west of James Monroe Highway (Route 15), in the Catoctin Election District. The subject property is more particularly described as follows: PIN

The Town of Leesburg is continuing a preventative maintenance program to protect the longevity and operation of the water system infrastructure and valves. This consists of a valve exercise program, which requires closing, then opening each main line valve and service line valves in specific distribution areas. The purpose of the program is to exercise main line valves throughout the distribution system to assure reliable operation and maintain water quality. During this program crews will exercise the valves by operating the valve through a full cycle and returning it to its normal position. Where valves are exercised, a fire hydrant will be flowed to ensure that the water in the main remains clear. During the valve turning exercise customers may experience some sediment or discolored water for a short period of time. Water is safe to drink and safe to use during this period. If this condition is noticed we recommend running several cold water taps at full force for a period of 1-2 minutes which should remove any discoloration from the water. It may be necessary to repeat this process after 30 minutes in some cases. In addition, the closing and opening of valves may introduce air into water lines which can cause temporary erratic water flow.

Overnight Deliveries 1 Harrison Street, SE MSC 32 Leesburg, VA 20175-3102 Sterling Office 21641 Ridgetop Circle, Ste 100 Sterling, VA 20166

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.

[OBITUARIES]

In the days from his birth until his death, John lived the fullest of lives with experiences and accomplishments most of us could only dream of. He was physically commanding and it was impossible for him to go unnoticed wherever he was. He quite literally stood above the crowd. His physical presence was surpassed by his keen intellect and quick wit, making him truly larger than life. He had an amazing ability to make firsttime acquaintances feel like lifelong friends. Ever the thoughtful host and orchestrator, John was always at least five steps in front of all of us and fulfilled unanticipated needs and desires with grace and generosity. John was a leader and mentor to more people than anyone will ever know. Those who have worked for John have said he was the best boss they’d ever had, bar none. He encouraged people to accomplish more than they thought they could and had faith they could do whatever the task. He wasn’t afraid to be himself in the workplace; he joked, he laughed and he enjoyed what he did. Most of all, he inspired enthusiasm and dedication. When John was focused on a task, it got his full attention and the effect was captivating. These same qualities extended to his personal life, where John guided and nurtured the development of his four daughters. He had an innate sense of what each needed along the way and he shared his wisdom, insight and perspective so they could become who they are today. A lover of classical literature, he raised them on Greek mythology and Aesop’s fables. His dedication to the written word was imbued in each of his girls and is carried on through his grandchildren. He was immensely proud of each of them. John was the big brother to his younger sister and brother, a role he relished. Family was important to John and he took on the role of historian, tracing the Suttle lineage back through the Civil War and American Revolution to England. He was

Professionally, John was tops at what he did. A combat veteran, he commanded the first attack-helicopter daylight raid into Iraq in the first Gulf War and brought his squad home safely. His children grew up thinking of him as the hero in their very own story. He served as press secretary to the Secretary of the Army and as editor-in-chief of Soldiers Magazine, where he orchestrated coverage of the 9-11 attack on the Pentagon and provided the first images broadcast on CNN. After retiring from the US Army as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2004, John joined the corporate world. Beginning with General Dynamics in Charlotte, NC and then with BAE Systems in Washington, DC, he went on to become Senior Vice President of Communications and Senior Vice President of International Business Development. John was proud to serve as a Board Member of the USO, a member of the Mount Vernon Life Guard Society and a Board Member of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. He had a deep respect and understanding for American history and made its preservation one of his lifelong missions. John is survived by his wife, Michelle; four daughters from his first marriage to Belinda “Chris” Suttle of Fredericksburg, VA: Courtney Suttle Rhines of Rhoadesville, VA; Jessica Suttle Abaunza of Herndon, VA; Kimberly Suttle of Alexandria, VA; Eryn Suttle of Woolrich, PA; father, Harold Woodrow Suttle Jr., sister, Lisa Bonine and brother, Jason Suttle all of Fayetteville, AR; grandson Silas Rhines and granddaughter Payson Hartman. Granddaughter Madelyn Hartman, age six, has been waiting for her grandfather in Heaven since July 20, 2019. A celebration of John’s life will be held at Stone Tower Winery in Leesburg, VA on Thursday, November 7 at 2:00 pm. Services at the Ft. Myer chapel in Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors will be held in the future with a date and time to be determined. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the USO, www.uso.org. Online condolences may be made to the family at www.loudounfuneralchapel.com.

William Sherman Turgeon Jr. William Sherman Turgeon Jr. was welcomed back to his heavenly home on Saturday, October 12th, 2019, after a courageous yearlong battle with cancer. He passed hand in hand with his wife and youngest daughter, accompanied by his oldest daughter and son. There are not adequate words to express the light and love “Bill” shared with the world. Be it his humorous teaching tactics with his 6th grade U.S. history class at River Bend Middle School; the way he would make his children and wife Jill laugh, dressed as an Elf (tights and all) at Christmas time; or the listening ear and peaceful presence he would offer to a friend in need; Bill always left those around him with a smile on their face and joy in their heart. He was born in Vallejo, Ca and raised in Vacaville, Ca. Bill was a wonderful son to his parents William Turgeon Sr and Kathy Turgeon; and brother to his two sisters Dynette Ferraiullo and Suzette Oxley. He was well known throughout his hometown as a star athlete on the football field and on the wrestling mat. But he was best known for his compassionate heart and sense of humor. Bill spent his lifetime serving others. In addition to him being an educator for over two decades, he served in his community coaching youth sports, participating in callings at church, and volunteering throughout the community. When he was 19, he served a two-year church mission in London, England. He leaves behind his wife, Jill; whom he adored with his heart and soul. The two shared 28 wonderful years together filled with exciting adventures all around the world. They almost always had a suitcase packed and ready to go explore and enjoy the world around them. Bill has visited every state in the U.S. (with the exception of Alaska), and traveled all throughout North America and Europe with his sweetheart. Together, their greatest adventure was raising their 3 children: Katie (27), Megan (24), and Zach (22). It is difficult to put into words just how wonderful of a father and husband Bill was to his family, and Granddad he was to his three grandchildren: Van, Finnley, and Olive. He instilled in his children a love of learning and

appreciation for the outdoors, travel, and history. He taught them to not just enjoy life, but to love it; to find joy in simplicity; and that the key to living a happy life is gratitude in all things…even the hard stuff. The funeral service will be held on October 19th at the LDS Church in Hamilton at 11:00 am with the interment at the Ebenezer Cemetery. The viewing will be held on Friday October 18th from 6:00-8:00 pm at Hall Funeral Home in Purcellville. Memorial contributions may be made to the Bill Turgeon Memorial fund at https://everloved.com/life-of/ william-turgeon-jr/. The funds collected will be used to honor educators who embrace the love of learning Bill so wonderfully demonstrated.

[ OPINION ]

October 17, 2019

Keeping the Balance Recent School Board meetings have taken on elements of a time warp as groups of parents object to the content to which they fear their students will be exposed once they leave the safe confines of their homes. Concerns raised about material contained in a small number of the books selected for inclusion in classroom “diversity libraries” echo the 1988 debates when school leaders developed the first family life education programs. Not only is there fear that their children will be learning about sensitive subjects from influential mentors beyond the parents’ control, but also that they’ll be exposed to mature topics too early in their young lives. Parents also are mounting a challenge to the roll-out of the school division’s Chromebook program, designed to put an internet-connected device in the hands of every student. The program is intended to provide the tools for all students to have access to cutting-edge educational technology. However, some parents are finding their children are using the devices to usurp their home online use restrictions—tapping into explicit content, breaking screen time limits or playing games during classroom or homework time. While useful teaching tools, critics say the school system hasn’t done enough to prevent their misuse. The comments are reminiscent of the early-90s debates over how to restrict the use of public library internet stations. In both cases, the school bureaucracy is seen as infringing on the rights of parents to shape the values instilled in their children. Those concerns should not easily be dismissed. So far, it has been a one-way dialogue. While School Board members seem content to let staff members sort through the controversies behind the scenes, it is their responsibility to ensure that new innovative programs keep the parents’ interests in balance, as well.

PARENTING WITH PURPOSE

Caught Your Teen Smoking Weed? BY NEIL MCNERNEY One afternoon, while moving your teen’s backpack, you notice a clinking sound inside the backpack. When you open it, you find a small bag of marijuana, a spice grinder, a vape pen, or maybe a small vial of thick liquid. What do you do now? As a counselor who works with teens, this is something I deal with on a regular basis. I have developed a step-by-step approach that is effective in dealing with marijuana use in teens.

Step One – Stay Calm Your goal in such situations is to take this matter very seriously but remain calm at the same time. Freaking out will not allow you to handle the situation in the best manner possible.

Step Two – Don’t say: “I raised you better than that.” Don’t turn this into a moral issue. All kids make mistakes; our goal is helping our kids learn from their mistakes, so they make fewer of them in the future. Instead, focus on the seriousness of the issue. Remind them that besides the very important issue of it being illegal, it also disrupts the mood regulation system and significantly decreases brain development in adolescents.

Step Three – Start testing immediately. Even if he has admitted using, it is important to begin getting a baseline of testing using urine test strips. These WEED >> 53

Weed << FROM 52 can be purchased at most local drug stores but are expensive. Amazon and other online stores sell very reliable tests for as low as $1 each. I would also suggest starting with a test that will indicate levels of THC in the system. Buy five of them so that you will be able to determine if the level of THC is going down over time. No matter how awkward, it is important that you follow a specific procedure for testing. Don’t let your teen be in the bathroom alone. Observe that they don’t fill the cup with tap water from the sink or the toilet. Make sure their pockets are empty and that they don’t add any else to the cup. If they say they can’t go, tell them to drink some more water and try again in 30 minutes. I would suggest testing twice a week for the first three months. This might seem extreme, but I have found it more effective to over test vs. under test. After three months, consider testing on a

a sample ballot from one of the political party volunteers stationed outside the polls, you will notice that some School Board candidates have a Democratic or Republican endorsement. Don’t let these endorsements fool you; the Loudoun County School Board is a nonpartisan governing body. Decisions that impact approximately 90,000 students and some 11,000 staff members should, ideally, not be influenced by party politics. The three primary functions of the School Board are to develop and amend the policies that govern the

school division, to approve an annual budget, and to hire/fire/evaluate the performance of the superintendent of schools. The superintendent is the only staff member the board directly manages. Everyone else on staff, including school principals, is managed by the superintendent. Even for voters who do not have children enrolled in public schools, this election is important. The annual budget for the school division is now over $1 billion. New schools are being built every year, enrollment is still rising, and our public-school budget is

weekly basis for another six months.

Temporary grounding, or restriction, is one of the most effective first consequences to consider. You might be tempted to ground them for life, but it’s important that they know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Consider at least one week longer than their first clean drug test. Temporarily taking their phone is also a good step. I would suggest doing this for a shorter period of time, such as a week. This sends a strong message that there will be consequences for drug use.

Step Four – Strong consequences Teens make mistakes. It is our responsibility to help them learn from mistakes. Punishments can be a great way to help teens learn. My first suggestion is to not turn a blind eye to the issue. Parents will sometimes say: “I smoked weed when I was a kid and I turned out OK.” This thinking is dangerous on many levels. We have recently learned quite a lot about the neurological effects of THC on the teenage brain. Who knows how much smarter and successful we might have been if we didn’t expose our brains to THC during adolescence? The first step is to make sure you have found all substances and equipment. Most teens are not very clever in hiding their stash. Backpacks are the most common place. Also look for a “spare” backpack that they have started using while going over to their friend’s house. If they have a car, check it thoroughly. Check wherever they tend to hang out in the home, such as the basement or their room.

Step Five – Know when to seek professional help I usually suggest that parents view the first offense as misbehavior, rather than immediately viewing it as an addiction that needs treatment. I try to answer two questions to help me determine whether the teen is experimenting or is dealing with an addiction: 1. Is this a regular occurrence? If your teen has been caught and punished before and is still using,

it might be a bigger issue. 2. Is he using alone or does he do it to stop feeling lousy? Using alone suggests that there might be symptoms that he is trying to use weed to cope with life vs. using it recreationally. If you are at all concerned about the seriousness of the issue, it never hurts to seek the advice of a health care profession with experience in substance abuse issues. There are specific assessments that can be given to determine whether this is an addiction issue or not. In the meantime, remember to stay calm and take it seriously, but not personally.

Whether or not you have children enrolled in Loudoun County Public Schools, the upcoming general election is an important one. At least six of the nine seated School Board members will be new since six current board members, myself included, are not running for re-election. It takes five votes to pass any legislation, policies or other action items so the new School Board will likely have a tremendous impact on the future of public education in our county. The quality of our schools attracts not only homeowners but businesses like Amazon and Google. Because an entire voting block is up for grabs, this is an election where your vote matters. In the past, School Board elections have been won by a handful of votes. School Board members each serve a four-year term and the annual salary for this job, which is considered part time, is $20,000. The chair receives an extra $2,000 per year to cover additional time spent as the School Board leader. Here are some insider details about how the School Board works so you can make an informed decision on Nov. 5. When you go into the voting booth, you will see on your ballot that you can select one School Board candidate to represent your district (Algonkian, Ashburn, Blue Ridge, Broad Run, Catoctin, Dulles, Leesburg or Sterling) and a second candidate, called the AtLarge representative, to cover the entire county. Having two School Board representatives gives voters two voices in every board discussion. If, on your way in to vote, you accept

the biggest cost center for the county. In other words, how your tax dollars are spent will be greatly influenced by the nine people serving on the Loudoun County School Board. In addition to developing the school’s operating budget and capital improvement program, the next School Board will ratify a set of strategic actions or “top priorities” for the next five years for the school division. The new School Board is also expected to address the question of whether or not to install school resource officers (armed police officers) in our county’s elementary schools. The next School Board will draw new boundary lines in some areas of the county and, if that weren’t enough to do, the board will rewrite a number of critical policies that relate to closing opportunity gaps, achieving equity for all students, adopting STEM/STEAM instructional programs and several other mission-critical educational items. In sum, the nine elected members of the Loudoun County School Board will have a substantial impact on all Loudoun County residents. The power is in your hands, voters. Wield it wisely.

Marion Constante and Frank McLaughlin of the Banshee Reeks Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia dig for clues at the centuries-old dilapidated house near the parking lot of Sleeter Lake Park.

Sleeter Lake << FROM 1 help the town to better determine the precise age of the house, who lived there from the time it was built in the 1700s or 1800s until the Sleeter family purchased it in 1942 and what their living habits were like. Constante said that so far, the all-volunteer organization has turned up numerous artifacts along the perimeter of the house that date back to the early 1900s, including glass bottles and pottery. They’ve also identified two buildings on the property—one that was previously used as a bathhouse and another the surveyors think was a springhouse. Constante said they think the main house could have been used for farmhands at some point. “It’s actually a quite interesting house,” she said. Once the local archaeological society chapter wraps up its work at Sleeter Lake, possibly by the park’s annual closure date of Nov. 1, Constante said its members would analyze the artifacts they’ve found at their lab at the Banshee Reeks Nature Preserve near Leesburg. She said they’d be “dating anything that’s dateable.” They’ll be looking to determine whether artifacts are hand- or machine-made and, for example, using text on glass bottles to determine when they were manufactured. “Our job really is to find as much in-

formation about the house as possible,” Constante said. That information should supplement what the public already knows about the 100-acre Sleeter Lake—that it was created in 1963 when Army Col. Frank Sleeter dammed up Simpsons Creek to irrigate his 880 acres of peach orchards, then known as Hill High Orchards. Hynes said the town could post the information to an historical marker in front of the house for park visitors to read. pszabo@loudounnow.com

Debate << FROM 3 vote resulted in a lawsuit filed by the Town of Leesburg against the county. He also criticized Randall for initially not taking a position on the issue. “I would not have abstained on that vote,” Whitbeck said. “I would have put myself in front of the voters and voted no.” Randall said she abstained on the first vote as a strategic measure—noting that, under the board’s rules of order, that would allow her to bring the issue back up for reconsideration, unlike being on the losing side of the vote. On a sec-

ond motion, she voted against allowing Loudoun Water to be the primary utility provider in that area. “I also cannot control how my Republican colleagues vote, and I’m not there to control how they vote,” Randall said. “I’m there to represent the people, and I did with that vote.” Randall also slammed Whitbeck for his history of associating with hardright Republicans during his time as Republican Party of Virginia chairman, campaigning for President Donald J. Trump and Prince William County Chairman and former U.S. Senate candidate Senate Corey Stewart. “Because we are so close to Washington, DC, we feel that Trump effect, we feel the dysfunction, the craziness, the

racist policies, the divisiveness, the obstruction—we feel all of that,” Randall said. “But you know what would be even worse? It would be worse to not just feel it, but to experience it here.” Ohneiser attacked both party candidates, accusing Whitbeck of unavoidable conflicts of interest through his law firm and Randall of being focused on spectacle over results. Ohneiser, who has done no fundraising and little campaigning, presented himself as a nonpartisan alternative to the Democratic and Republican-endorsed candidates. He pointed to his professional experience—eight years of service on the School Board and many years of involvement in community organizations, like the Lucketts Ruritans and the Good

Shepard Alliance. “I’m a retired attorney that has no conflicts, I’m completely capable after working for 45 years in the six-figure category, I understand how to run meetings, I’m an extremely analytical [person] and I know how to get along with both parties,” Ohneiser said. “I don’t need 50 signs out there. People know my name. I know how to run a meeting.” He began the debate with an original poem urging Loudouners to vote for the independent candidate. All three will be on the ballot in this November’s general election. A full video of the debate may be viewed at loudoundebates.com.
