And what had been planned as an event without any speeches instead brought speeches from the steps of the courthouse by the Loudoun NAACP President Michelle Thomas, County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large), U.S. Rep.

As Northern Virginia entered the first phase of reopening restaurants, breweries, wineries and some personal service businesses last week, people were eager to get out and relax in the good weather— and business owners and employees were glad to finally have them.

“Our guest response was both happiness and relief,” said Dog Money Restaurant & Brewery owner Tim Regan in Leesburg. “Happy to be able to get back to some sort of normal socializing, and relief that we were still here to provide it.

It’s been a very difficult time for us as well as our guests.”

The rules of the first phase of Gov. Ralph Northam’s “Forward Virginia” reopening allow restaurants, breweries, wineries and other businesses to begin serving customers again only outside, only at half their normal capacity, and only with six-foot separation between parties enforced, among other rules.

At Wine Kitchen on King Street in Leesburg, there are three tables out on the sidewalk and business is back open.

“People were really excited to be here, which was great,” said General Manager Agnes King. “It was exciting to serve them, and they were excited to sit down. I had a lady come and say she’ll remember the day for the rest of her life.”

Although seating is limited, King said

‘I Can’t Breathe’ Protest Packs Downtown Leesburg

The streets of downtown Leesburg, which for months have been all but deserted, were instead packed shoulder-to-shoulder for the “I Can’t Breathe Walk Through Leesburg” on Sunday afternoon.

What was originally planned as a quiet,

physically distant walk through the town green turned instead into one of the biggest demonstrations Leesburg has ever seen, with a line of marchers circling King Street, Loudoun Street, Church Street and back up Edwards Ferry Road. The line was so long, chanting marchers caught up to the rear of the march as they walked back up Edwards Ferry Road. There they turned to pack the courthouse lawn, spill-

Loudoun Will Wait as Virginia Enters Phase 2 Reopening LOUDOUN NOW STAFF REPORT

Gov. Ralph Northam announced Tuesday that most of Virginia will move into Phase Two of his reopening program on Friday, but Loudoun and the rest of Northern Virginia will have to wait at least another week before getting the chance to eat indoors at restaurants and swim laps in public pools.

While County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) had told business owners that she hoped the region would be able to move into the second phase with the rest of Virginia—and regional leaders had asked the governor to let them catch up to the rest of the state—that now appears unlikely to happen.

Northam said he would present details of the Phase Two operational rules during his Thursday afternoon press conference.

The next relaxing of physical distancing rules will allow gatherings of up to 50 people, restaurants and gyms to open at limited indoor capacities, and entertainment venues, such as museums, to welcome back visitors.

Northern Virginia moved into Phase One operations last Friday, two weeks after most other areas of the Commonwealth.

The reopening was delayed because of concerns about higher COVID-19 infection rates and a lack of testing. In the subsequent weeks, testing has increased substantially while the positivity rate of those tested has continued to fall.

With testing kits becoming more widely available—particularly at Loudoun’s two mass testing events—health officials have found more cases of the virus, but the percentage of tests coming back positive for the virus has been in steady decline since late April. As of May 29, the last day for which that information was available, the seven-day average of positive tests stood at 14.6 percent, down from a late April peak of 28.2 percent, but still above the statewide average of 11.5 percent.

Over the past week, in Loudoun, there were 450 new cases reported. The state reported 15 more people in Loudoun died of COVID-19 over the past week. In total, health officials have found 2,636 local cases of COVID-19 as of May 26. The virus has killed 67 people in Loudoun.

More than 2,000 people were tested for the virus at Philip A. Bolen Memorial Park near Leesburg on Monday.

That was even more people than were tested during a similar May 20 testing event that was marked by long lines and long waits before it closed down early when tests ran out. The lines were short on Monday.

That meant shorter waits for the 2,061 people who got tested at the newly streamlined layout. The free, drive-through testing for

the virus had no requirement for symptoms, residency, or the other barriers that people are facing to get tested.

The test was a Polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, test, which detects current infection with the virus. It does not indicate whether a person has antibodies from a previous COVID-19 exposure. Test results are expected approximately three days after the tests are administered.

At the May 20 event, more than 1,800 people were tested. About 9 percent of those people tested positive for the virus.

Libraries, Sports Fields Begin to Reopen Over the past week, both the Loudoun County Public Library and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services announced they would begin their own limited reopening.

The library has once again begun curbside pickup, allowing patrons to place items on hold for pickup outside, as well as drop them off again. Meanwhile, the parks department has begun allowing some use of the county’s athletic fields—so limited, however, that no competition or games will be allowed, and as elsewhere, no more than 10 people will be allowed to gather at once.

Meanwhile, tennis and pickleball courts are open for no more than four people at a time, and parks are open for hiking, fishing and other water activities.

But both the library and the parks department are still delaying their own programs indefinitely. The parks department has postponed the start of summer camps

until at least July 6, refunding families that signed up for sessions that would have been held before that date.

Library Director Chang Liu said when Loudoun enters the second phase of reopening, it will be time to reassess.

“The problem is right now we definitely cannot open at all, because the governor’s order is still fewer than 10 people in the building including staff, and we can’t do that,” Liu said. “So, when the governor says we could be open with 50 people, that’s when we probably want to look at the feasibility and the effectiveness of opening.”

But, she said, for now the library is set up perfectly for curbside service—the catalogue of the library’s entire collection is available online, and the library already offers many online resources.

The library has also taken precautions to protect staff members they have recalled from leave, which Liu said is about half the library employees. Procedures include at least a 72-hour quarantine for library materials once they are returned to let any virus on them die off, and physical distancing among staff members.

Liu said that will be more difficult once the library interiors reopen to the public— not only among the staff, but also visitors.

“Hopefully, everybody will just know to watch out for each other, but you never know, and as soon as we open the door we have to take some responsibility,” Liu said.

The library’s expanded wireless internet service has also been popular. Liu said in

May, more than 1,000 people connected to the Middleburg library’s wi-fi from the parking lot.

The library’s programs will be more complicated. Children’s story times, for example, could be one of the last programs to begin again—“there’s no way we can ensure the toddlers’ social distance,” Liu said. But others, like book discussion groups, could work with a handful of people spaced out around a room.

“When we physically open the library, we’re going to look at our space and also look at the type of the program,” Liu said.

“Again, we want to do it safely, but at the same time, if it’s something we can do safely, I’d like to do it ASAP.” The parks department, one of the county’s most outward-facing agencies, also faces decisions around safety as it sorts through the governor’s new guidance issued Tuesday.

“We recognize the importance that our department, our staff, and our programs play in that creation of community on a day-to-day basis, and especially in a time like this,” said Director Steve Torpy. “That’s why we’ve worked so hard to continue with the virtual programming.”

Businesses Pledge ‘Loudoun is Ready’

BY RENSS GREENE

rgreene@loudounnow.com

The three biggest groups supporting Loudoun businesses have come together for a campaign to show shoppers and visitors that it’s time to safely go back to business: “Loudoun Is Ready.”

The Loudoun County Department of Economic Development, Visit Loudoun and the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce created the “Loudoun Is Ready” campaign to bring business owners together and help consumers feel confident that they are safe going back into restaurants, shops, wineries, breweries and other businesses amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Participating members pledge that they live up to the latest health and safety guidance from the Virginia Department of Health and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those that do will get the new red-and-gold “Loudoun Is Ready” logo to put on their businesses and website, and will be listed at LoudounIsReady.com.

Hundreds have already signed up.

“We know that opening up the businesses does not mean that the customers come back, and we believe the thing that is going to drive customers back into the

marketplace is a sense of security,” said Department of Economic Development Executive Director Buddy Rizer. “That their safety is being considered, that the

rules are being followed, and that they can feel confident going back to their normal lives.”

The website also serves as a one-stop shop for the latest safety guidelines, including industry-specific guidance ranging from farmers markets and restaurants to shooting ranges and hair salons.

“This campaign is about providing them the resources to make sure they are up to speed with the latest and greatest

protocols and practices to make sure that everyone is safe,” said Loudoun Chamber President and CEO Tony Howard.

And research on visitor trends shows that will be crucial to getting shoppers and visitors back through the doors, said Visit Loudoun President and CEO Beth Erickson.

“Whether it’s their backyard, or whether it’s another destination, they really want to make sure—and they’re gravitating toward—those destinations where this has been a thoughtful approach on reopening, and I think this program speaks to the fact that Loudoun really is taking a thoughtful approach,” Erickson said.

That can also be a marketing tool for business owners, putting the weight of all three business groups behind them.

“We’re going to do what we can to make it safe for you to come in, and what they get out of that, is first of all, recognition that they’re doing that, a sense of confidence from the people that are coming into their place, but also the marketing muscle behind all three organizations to get that out there,” Rizer said.

A planned vote to again increase the number of houses allowed in the county’s Transition Policy Area has drawn objections not only from some county supervisors, but from the seven mayors in the Coalition of Loudoun Towns.

Supervisors were scheduled to vote Tuesday evening on a proposal that, among other things, would allow up to a 30-percent increase in the number of houses developers could build in large areas of the Transition Policy Area. The rule is part of a package of county ordinance changes aimed at increasing the supply of affordable housing in Loudoun.

The proposal would allow developers to increase the number of units by up to 30 percent, with the percentage of that increase being the same as the percentage of those additional units that must be put in the Affordable Dwelling Unit program.

Under the rule, if a developer could build 100 units on a parcel by-right, they would be able to build up to 130 units if nine of those were ADUs—30 percent of the additional 30 units.

According to county staff, that has the potential to allow up to 300 more units in the Transition Policy Area, which has long served as a buffer between development and suburban communities in the east and rural spaces in the west. That would include up to 120 ADUs. But that idea drew opposition in a letter from the Coalition of Loudoun Towns.

“If we have learned one thing in Loudoun over the last 20 years, it is that more density does not, and has yet to, equate to affordability,” reads the letter, signed by all seven Loudoun town mayors. “Our approach for decades to affordable housing has been disjointed and a failure. We must start thinking, and more importantly, acting differently.”

For years, Loudoun housing prices have continued to climb, even as the county for years has been one of the fastest-growing communities in the country.

Good Credit Rating Saves Loudoun $49M on Metro Project Even as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic threaten government revenues and budgets around the country, the three nation’s top bond rating agencies have affirmed Loudoun County’s strong bond ratings. And last week, that good credit saved the county a little under $50 million in financing costs on the project to bring Metro’s Silver Line into Loudoun.

The three ratings agencies affirmed Loudoun’s AA+ and Aa1 ratings on its lease revenue bonds—which led to low interest rates for the county when it sold those bonds May 28 and helped the county refinance the loan it took to pay for a portion of the project to extend the Silver Line into Loudoun.

Lease revenue bonds are repaid by revenues generated by the projects they help finance, avoiding using taxpayer dollars. On Thursday, the county sold $267.3 million in lease revenue bonds through the Economic Development Authority at 1.79-percent interest.

That included refunding the outstanding Transportation Infrastructure Financing Innovation Act loan, used to finance the Dulles Metrorail project. That will save the county $48.5 million, through a lower interest rate and shorter repayment period.

Those credit ratings agencies also reaffirmed the AAA ratings on the county’s general obligation bonds.

Loudoun County has held the Aaa rating from Moody’s since 2004, and AAA ratings from Fitch Ratings and S&P Global since 2005. Those agencies noted

Loudoun’s county’s robust economy, the size and diversity of its tax base, growth potential and strong management.

Moody’s ratings noted the county’s diverse and growing tax base, healthy fund balance and liquidity, and manageable debt. Meanwhile Fitch noted the county’s strong revenue growth, moderate longterm liabilities, and economic prospects.

S&P’s assessment highlighted the county’s financial management and long-term planning, robust local economy and successful economic development team, and strong overall economic and financial indicators.

All three agencies also acknowledged the evolving impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on public finances, but also noted the actions the county has already taken on its budget, such as freezing non-essential spending and new hiring, and setting aside $100 million in reserve in the next fiscal year’s budget.

“This an unprecedented time for Loudoun and for our nation, and the credit rating agencies were understandably thorough in their evaluation of our finances,” said Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles), who chairs the board’s finance committee. “That’s why it is particularly noteworthy that Loudoun’s AAA bond ratings were once again affirmed. The agencies specifically noted our strong fiscal management and diverse economy.”

er as we have always done.”

When the Board of Supervisors’ Transportation and Land Use Committee took up the code changes in April, Supervisor Tony R. Buffington (R-Blue Ridge) argued against them, pointing out that the Transition Policy Area was one of the hottest points of public contention during work on the new comprehensive plan.

If supervisors approve the zoning changes, it would mark the second time in months that they have increased the allowable development density in that area.

Although they had dramatically reduced the previous Planning Commission’s proposal to allow 15,000 more homes in the Transition Policy Area in zoning law, supervisors eventually approved changes that would increase the maximum number of allowable units by 2,180. n

“We are extremely concerned that before that group’s work has even been completed, the County is embarking on the mistakes of the past with considering ad hoc spot zoning to simply add density, thinking it will address the root problems,” the letter reads. “This is being done without the benefit of the study’s work, nor understanding the long-term impacts, where the demand should be focused and what the down sides may be. The old record is playing again; more density, with a few ADUs, that will likely be given a waiv-

Town Council Postpones Westpark Discussion

Leesburg

Leesburg Anticipating 17-Percent Revenue Shortfall Next Fiscal Year

BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ Krodriguez@loudounnow.com

Grappling with the economic fallout surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, Leesburg’s budget staff is bracing for what could be a difficult fiscal year.

The Town Council got its latest update on the fiscal picture at its meeting on May 26. While the town finds itself in a $4.8 million revenue hole for the current fiscal year 2020, town staff members are not as worried about this year as the next one.

Town Manager Kaj Dentler said his staff has already made allocations to cover the fiscal year 2020 shortfall, which he described as “a very manageable situation.”

Next year may be a different story. “[Fiscal Year] 21 is the area of concern for me and should be for you,” he told the council.

Management & Budget Officer Jason Cournoyer said staff members looking ahead to the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, they believe economic recovery will come in the form of a gradual rebound.

They are looking at the next fiscal year on a quarter-by-quarter basis, and are antici-

pating a revenue decrease in the first quarter of July 1 through Sept. 30 of around 27 percent.

“From then on we believe it’s going to improve gradually,” he said.

As they make their revenue projections for next year, parks and recreation revenue is expected to continue to take a big hit, with a projected 43 percent shortfall.

Ida Lee Park Recreation Center has been closed since mid-March and its programs canceled. Many of the town’s popular annual events run by the parks department have either been canceled or are in jeopardy. There has also been no decision on whether to reopen Ida Lee’s outdoor pool this summer.

Consumer taxes, in the form of meals tax and Transient Occupancy Tax, are also expected to be short of projections, with an estimated 22 percent shortfall.

The biggest anticipated hit is expected in the town’s investment income, with a projected 83 percent shortfall. This is tied mostly to the federal interest rate, which was cut to zero shortly after the global pandemic hit U.S soil, Cournoyer said. While the staff had budgeted around $700,000 in investment income revenue

for the General Fund in fiscal year 2021, that projection has now dropped to a little over $120,000.

All told, staff members are projecting an overall General Fund revenue shortfall of 17 percent for fiscal year 2021, Cournoyer said.

To reduce expenses for the upcoming fiscal year, the staff has frozen a number of vacant positions or delayed hiring. Each department has also been tasked with reducing its expenses by 10 percent. Staff members will be working with the town’s financial consultant to look at capital projects and their financing, as well as some different opportunities to manage debt, Cournoyer said.

With Leesburg anticipating $4.8 million from the federal CARES Act, council members will soon have to decide how to deploy those funds. Cournoyer emphasized that the funds may not be used to cover a revenue shortfall. Although the council will wait until its June 9 meeting to consider how to use the funds, there was apparent enthusiasm for using the money for some type of business relief grants, similar to one run by Loudoun County government. n

The Leesburg Town Council will wait a couple of weeks before debating its options on the potential purchase of the former Westpark Golf Club property.

JK Moving Services CEO Chuck Kuhn, the contract purchaser on the just over 140acre property, sent a letter to Mayor Kelly Burk on May 11 offering the town the opportunity to purchase 134 acres of for $3.4 million. Under the offer, the land would be placed into conservation easement allowing it to be used as a town park, and Kuhn would retain the eight acres of commercial land. The letter put forward a deadline of July 1 for Kuhn and the town to agree to the terms and execute the contract.

The item was on the council’s agenda last Tuesday night for discussion but at the onset of the meeting Councilman Ron Campbell made a motion to remove the agenda item and postpone discussion until the council’s next business meeting, June 9. In making his motion, Campbell disclosed he had met with Kuhn, who had expressed a willingness to both ask for an extension on the deadline to agree to terms on a land purchase, and also to explore other options for a transaction with the town. Campbell said Kuhn was amenable to reaching out to Westpark’s current property owner, Dittmar Company, for an extension until possibly September.

He also said the two discussed a potential public-private partnership.

The delay “would give us all time to step back and think about the possibility of moving forward without losing the opportunity of what might and could benefit the town and Mr. Kuhn,” Campbell said.

He also said that, in the interim, Kuhn could find out if a delay would be accepted by the property owner, which would give the council a better deadline to work with.

Councilman Neil Steinberg offered an alternate motion, which did not pass, that would have directed town staff to come back to the council June 9 with specific information gathered by town staff, including financing options should the town move forward with a purchase; explore options the town has regarding uses WESTPARK continues on page 7

Westpark continued from page 6 in a conservation easement; and conduct an independent appraisal of the property, among other items.

“Town staff has been given no direction on how to proceed,” Vice Mayor Marty Martinez said in support of Steinberg’s motion. “We need to talk about where we want to go with this. We need to talk about whether we even want the town manager to move forward.”

Campbell’s motion to postpone passed by a 4-3 margin, with council members Tom Dunn, Suzanne Fox and Josh Thiel in support. While a full vetting of the options before the council will wait until June, some council members didn’t hesitate to trade a few barbs on how the offer to the town to purchase the property has unfolded.

Both Campbell and Dunn criticized Burk for not keying the Town Council in on her early meetings with Kuhn to discuss a possible town purchase of the property.

“The initial meetings with [Burk and] Mr. Kuhn started on March 13 and the council was not informed as a body until

May 14. So, whatever considerations about time, about direction, about feedback in conversation, could have and should have been given long before May 14 in full disclosure,” Campbell said.

Dunn also reiterated his displeasure with Burk “going to the public first, getting them riled up so they could do her bidding for her,” referring to social media posts by the mayor about the land purchase opportunity.

Burk emphasized that, in her capacity as town mayor, she meets with many people, and there was no concrete information to share until the letter of intent was sent by Kuhn. That letter was then shared with the rest of the council.

“I think we’re being very petty,” she said. “I think certain people are mad because they feel like they should have been informed. There was nothing to inform until [the letter of intent] came out. This is why it was on the agenda to get more information. Staff does not have the ability to check anything out until we give them direction. We’re asking them to find out information that we can use. I don’t know why we are at this point that we can’t have a discussion.”

The matter is expected to come back for discussion June 9. n

Education Graduation Compromise Unpopular with Student School Board Members

BY NORMAN K. STYER nstyer@loudounnow.com

A letter signed by 12 of the 17 student representatives to the Loudoun County School Board raises concerns that the recently announced plans to allow a form of in-person graduations fall short of their expectations.

The student leaders continue to press for graduation ceremonies that may be attended by all senior class members once the Commonwealth enters the third phase of lifting COVID-19-related gathering restrictions.

The letter comes one week after Superintendent Eric Williams announced plans for graduates and some family members to be presented with their diplomas at individual ceremonies by appointment at their schools.

“We hope that you listen to what we have to say, hear us out on our proposal, and in doing so, save our last defining high school experience,” the students wrote in proposing an alternative.

“First, we would like to sincerely thank you and your team for protecting our schools and communities. We cannot begin to imagine how much time and effort you have all put into adapting LCPS to tackle the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19, not to mention the immense pressure you must be facing. We know we speak on behalf of many when we say that much of what you have already done has benefited us immensely, and we all thank you for doing your best to retain some sense of normalcy during these times.

However, if we can help you to understand a student’s perspective and remember the importance of it in the midst of this, we will feel more at peace. We are just a fraction of the voices, trying to illuminate to you what seniors are going through. That is exactly what we were selected to do, as it is our duty to represent our peers. And never in our lives have we felt more compelled to do so,” the letter reads.

In earlier conversations with administrators, the students said they held out hope for traditional school-wide graduations, even if they had to wait until late summer or even next winter, and believed that any alternative programs, ultimately, would not be a substitute for something closer to the real thing once

circumstances allowed.

“We were willing to wait however long for it. Now, it feels like the very last thing we thought we could have, a show of the strength of human connection against a pandemic, is lost. Reduced to an individual photo opportunity in which students won’t even be able to be together to celebrate our collective success. You have taken away the most important value that all graduation ceremonies have: Unity. With this plan, the Class of 2020 will never get their final moment of unity. This demoralized us and left us feeling just like the last hope we allowed ourselves to keep: Lost,” they wrote.

In a survey of more than 800 seniors, the students reported that 69 percent planned to attend the individual ceremonies, although 80 percent were dissatisfied with that option. In the survey, 89 percent supported a full-class experience.

The group has proposed having all graduates sitting in chairs positioned 6 feet apart in a stadium or football field, while allowing each school to determine whether families would be permitted inside of the venue or be offered a chance to watch on a livestream.

“This way, all LCPS seniors would be able to graduate alongside the peers they grew up with and celebrate each other one last time before moving on to college, something that your original plan does not allow for,” they wrote.

“During this pandemic, it has become even clearer to us that together, we and our fellow seniors have all found families of our own within school—of classmates, teachers, counselors, and admin. We have turned our high schools into our homes away from home. We have laughed, cried, struggled, and grown up together. That is what us seniors want to celebrate. What we must celebrate. And without having our entire family around us as we graduate into the next stage of our lives, it will not be the same,” they wrote. ”How is graduation supposed to mean anything if we can’t be with the people who helped us get there in the first place? Our friends, family, teachers, and mentors who have supported us through all these years? It is only because of how close we’ve all become that we find it extremely hard to move on without any goodbyes. And all we want is to have the chance to thank them.” n

SCHOOL Notebook Superintendent Urges Peaceful Anti-Racism in Letter Loudoun County Public Schools Superintendent Eric Williams on Monday issued a special statement to advocate peaceful anti-racism, amid the national tensions over the killing of George Floyd and other high-profile deaths, as well as the disproportionate toll COVID-19 has taken on the black community.

“LCPS remains committed to providing a safe, empathetic, respectful and supportive learning environment, and we reject racism and racist violence, recognizing that they further encourage discrimination, hatred, oppression, and more violence,” he wrote. “Our commitment to doing so is grounded in our action-oriented equity perspective. As a community, our condemnation of racist behavior and language is necessary, and we must do more. As individuals, I hope you will join me in peaceful anti-racism, taking actions that oppose racism as well as systemic and structural inequities.”

Williams urged parents to talk to their children about the difficult subject.

“Anti-racist words and actions support our mission of empowering all students

to make meaningful contributions to the world. I ask that parents consider speaking with their children about the history and persistence of racism and racialized violence in America and locally,” he wrote.

“I ask LCPS staff to join me in engaging in courageous, even difficult, conversations with colleagues who show up to work each day trying to give their best to our students and families, while also perhaps struggling with direct or indirect racism.”

LEA Honors Woodard, Capital Community Church The Loudoun Education Association will present Friend of Education awards to Bellen Woodard and the Capital Community Church during its annual appreciation celebration, which has been postponed from May until the fall.

Woodard created the More than Peach Project to empower students, build awareness, support opportunities in gifted education, and dismantle perception gaps.

The Capital Community Church in Ashburn has partnered with the LEA for the past three years to recognize educators during Educator Appreciation Sunday. The project was spearheaded by Janet Ford and Pastor Chester Mitchell.

“These recipients have acknowledged the importance of public education,” LEA President David Palanzi said. “They have been active in our schools and communities supporting educators and advocating for all kids.”

veterans, first responders, and their families who have experienced trauma.

From the organization’s beginnings as a retreat center for combat veterans and their families, it has expanded its mission to include scaling PTG-based programs with partners across the country, first responder care, and advocacy and policy work to help drive more accessible, effective solutions across the nation’s mental health system.

“These branding changes reflect the success and massive growth in our mission, and our commitment to doing everything we can to ensure that combat veterans, first responders, and their families can live great lives in the aftermath of trauma,” said Ken Falke, chairman and founder of Boulder Crest Foundation.

“We have come a long way since 2011, and that has been made possible by the generosity and vision of our leadership, donors, and the hard work of our team. We are incredibly optimistic about what the future holds and the continued growth of our capacity to transform lives.”

The retreat was launched in 2011. After two years of fundraising, construction, and partnership development, the center opened in Bluemont in 2013 as the nation’s

icated exclusively to combat veterans and their families. The center initially served as a place for severely wounded warriors and their families to enjoy respite outside of Bethesda Naval Hospital and Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

In 2014, the center launched Warrior PATHH, the first program designed to cultivate Posttraumatic Growth, helping combat veterans transform their struggles into strengths. Since then, the program has been recognized for delivering results that are three to five times better than traditional mental health approaches.

In 2017, the A. James and Alice B. Clark Foundation provided a $10 million gift to expand the program at a second location near Tucson, AZ. Supported by the Marcus Foundation and The Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Foundation, the Boulder Crest Institute was founded in 2018 to develop, deliver, study, and scale Posttraumatic Growth-based solutions to times of struggle, including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and suicidality. By this fall, Warrior PATHH will be delivered at 10 locations across the country.

With such swift growth, mission expansion, and overall progress, the Boulder Crest board of directors determined that the word “retreat” no longer described the scope of its national efforts.

Public Safety Chapman, Brown Resist Citizen Oversight Board on NAACP Call

BY RENSS GREENE rgreene@loudounnow.com

At a roundtable discussion organized by the Loudoun NAACP, the heads of Loudoun’s two largest law enforcement agencies resisted a proposal to create a citizen oversight board for police and sheriff ’s deputies.

Loudoun NAACP President Michelle Thomas organized the May 30 conference call against the backdrop of protests around the country sparked by police killings of black people that have made headlines once again.

Thomas pushed Leesburg Chief of Police Greg Brown and Loudoun Sheriff Michael L. Chapman on the proposal. On the same call, U.S. Rep. Jennifer T. Wexton (D-VA-10) pointed out that such a committee, the Fairfax County Police Civilian Review Panel, already exists in Fairfax County. That panel meets monthly and reviews investigations into complaints against police “to ensure accuracy, com-

pleteness, thoroughness, objectivity, and impartiality.” Its meetings are open to the public.

“I answer directly to the public, and so the public actually is my citizen review board, and believe me, if we’re doing something that they don’t like I hear about it, and I hear about it a lot, so we already have it in a sense, because I’m an elected official,” Chapman said.

“We need to make sure that we do not continue to take a national narrative [and] apply something that’s happening 800 miles away to the folks that are doing good work here,” Brown said, saying he

does not see a need for an oversight board.

“It is not a need for half of the laws on the books, but they are there when things happen, so I don’t want to position our community to depend on solely just the goodness and the integrity of Mike Chapman and Greg Brown,” Thomas said. “I know good and well that my kids are safe right now, but I just worry about when you retire.”

In Purcellville, Mayor Kwasi Fraser proposed a similar panel almost three years ago. The proposed “Office of Police Accountability” never got off the ground.

The proposal came the same night he joined a unanimous vote of no confidence in Police Chief Cynthia McAlister, an early step in a years-long scandal that would end with the town firing its interim town manager and facing lawsuits, and McAlister exonerated and returned to her job.

Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj also argued on the May 30 call that people working in the justice system—including in her own office—should have their records open to public scrutiny, in-

cluding allegations of misconduct. In Virginia and Loudoun, typically misconduct complaints and allegations against public employees are hidden from public disclosure by exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act for personnel matters.

“What we need to figure out is, how do we have that transparency amongst the agencies in the community so that it’s not a shield that is used, that is their employee rights or is their IA rights,” Biberaj said.

“We see the nation on fire,” Thomas said. “We see literally the nation, many parts of our nation have been looted, burned, as a response of people who have not been heard. And justice has escaped them again and again as they have sacrificed their black men and women, not because they willingly have done it—their black men and women have been taken from them. And so there is a discussion in tears that manifests in looting and burning and tearing up one’s own home, which is mind-boggling, but what is even more mind-boggling is that that has to happen before action can take place.” n

Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now

Ashburn Ice House General Manager Rob Lorenzen explains how his staff repainted the west rink and how team members will finish re-icing the entire rink once skaters are allowed back in.

Ashburn Ice House Renovates During COVID-19 Closure

BY PATRICK SZABO pszabo@loudounnow.com

Loudoun’s figure skaters and hockey players have been off the ice for more than two months. When they finally are allowed back into the Ashburn Ice House, they’ll be greeted by a new sheet of ice and sharp skates to dig in, among other massive upgrades.

The Ashburn Ice House closed its doors on March 13, the day after Gov. Ralph Northam declared a State of Emergency amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Between then and last Friday, when the pro shop and outdoor skating rink opened back up to the public, General Manager Rob Lorenzen and his team took full advantage of the 11-week closure—by shifting their focus from small renovations scheduled during Loudoun County’s spring break to nine large-scale projects originally scheduled for completion by the end of 2021.

“We moved quickly to initiate those projects,” Lorenzen said.

Ice House staff members and contractors repainted and re-iced the west rink, refurbished all eight locker rooms, replaced carpeting, replaced stair treads, reconditioned the rubber floor, cleaned and repaired the player benches, upgraded the fitness center, refurbished the restaurant and sharpened all 780 pairs of ice skates.

The most notable of those projects was work on the west rink, where the staff repainted the surface under the ice—a project Lorenzen said typically takes seven

days to complete and displaces “a ton of business.” Typically, the Ice House is closed for only three hours a day, between 2 and 5 a.m., 362 days a year.

That repainting required staff to strip the ice off the rink, repaint the logos and lines and re-ice the surface. But not all 1.5 inches of ice has been added back on top, Lorenzen said. That’s because keeping only a quarter-inch of ice on for the time being keeps cooling costs to a minimum. Lorenzen said the Ice House spent only $8,000 on its April electric bill, compared with the typical $13,000 to $15,000 it typically spends each month.

Once the Ice House is ready to bring skaters back in, Lorenzen said it would take only two days to top the final inch of ice.

In the locker rooms, new rubber flooring was installed and the walls were repainted, with two locker rooms painted specifically for the Ashburn Xtreme Hockey Club.

The staff upgraded the fitness center by installing two new treadmills and three new multi-purpose squat racks. The Pomodoro Pizza, Pasta & More restaurant attached to the Ice House was also refurbished, with four, 50-inch television screens with new menu boards installed.

That restaurant has been open for carryout orders since late April.

HILLSBORO Hillsboro Launches Business Campaign

Patrick Szabo/Loudoun Now

Hillsboro Mayor Roger Vance stands in the middle of town along a closed Rt. 9, where Archer Western Corp. crews continue to work on the town’s traffic calming project.

Hillsboro’s Rt. 9 Project Making Headway; Highway May Remain Closed Until August

BY PATRICK SZABO

pszabo@loudounnow.com

Drivers haven’t been able to cut through the Town of Hillsboro along Rt. 9 for five weeks and they might not be able to do so until later this summer, as construction crews work to complete more on the town’s traffic calming project during the initial phase than initially planned.

The $14.33 million project will install two roundabouts on either end of town, bury utility lines and fill in missing links of sidewalk—all to be complete by May or June 2021. Archer Western Corp. is handling that work, which began on March 4. Since then, crews have installed five of eight utility vaults, 30 of 96 stormwater drain structures, 10 of 16 stormwater crossings and six of 13 retaining walls.

They’ve also dug out a good portion of the eastern roundabout. Upwards of 50 crew members have been working on the project, some spending 13-hour days in town.

Vice Mayor Amy Marasco, the deputy project manager, said crews are making

“really great progress” on the project.

Since May 4, the half-mile stretch of Rt. 9 through Hillsboro has been entirely closed to through traffic. That closure followed a March 31 water main break that saw Shirley Contracting crews install a temporary above-ground main, which the Virginia Department of Health required to be fixed permanently right away. While the original plan expected the water system to be fully transferred to the new main by November, Marasco said Shirley crews should have that work done by the third week of June.

The highway through town will remain closed until at least that point. Marasco said the town is working with Archer and VDOT to determine how much more work crews could complete if the road remains closed entirely through town until mid-August. She said the town is eyeing that extension because crews have completed more work during the full closure than originally planned, because it’s safer for crews to work longer days in the summer and because that would mean the highway through town could partially reopen in the fall, when area businesses like

wineries see an uptick in visits.

During the current full road closure, in-town residents have accounted for the only traffic using the highway through town, aside from unauthorized vehicles passing through on the weekends, Marasco said. While residents have been picking up their mail at temporary mailboxes outside the Old Stone School, town staffers have been delivering packages directly to residents’ doorsteps by walking along the highway, which is covered in dirt and is pocked by 15-foot-deep holes.

Mayor Roger Vance, the project manager, said the town is hoping to complete work on the duct banks this summer, at which point Verizon and Dominion Energy will begin their 180-day installations of electric lines. Crews have also installed an empty conduit for future broadband connectivity in town.

Vance said town leaders are unsure about when a second full highway closure through town will be, since the original construction schedule was abandoned when the water main broke and forced the town to implement a premature full closure. n

The Town of Hillsboro recently launched an initiative to help usher in more visitors to local businesses amid the coronavirus crisis and Rt. 9 closure.

Visitors are beginning to make it back out to wineries, breweries, farm markets and other businesses in rural Loudoun, now that the Northern Virginia region has been allowed to enter the first phase of reopening. But those visitors are undoubtedly inconvenienced by the closure of Rt. 9 through the town, as the traffic calming project continues to progress.

To help out, the town has created a detour map with the names of businesses in the area; installed wayfinding signs along the local detour route south of town; set up a rotational featured business directory at rethink9. com/whats-up-in-the-gap; and has pledged to continued supporting businesses on social media. It also published a blog post listing which businesses are open—rethink9.com/ open-for-business-phase-1—which lists 17 wineries and vineyards, five breweries and seven farm stands.

The town’s Rt. 9 road project is expected to complete in the first half of 2021. The highway through town will remain closed at least through June.

expected budget shortfalls this year. Still, they’re maintaining daily operations for residents and striving to support local businesses. And now, they’re getting some help from the federal government.

In late March, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security, or CARES, Act, which set up a $150 billion relief fund to assist state, local, territorial and tribal governments. Of that amount, Virginia received $3.1 billion, about $36.1 million of which is going to Loudoun County to be spent on one-time uses directly associated with response to the COVID-19 pandemic between March 1 and Dec. 30. Of that amount, about $6.1 million will be distributed to the county’s seven towns early this month, with funding amounts based on town populations.

Those towns have either discussed, will discuss, or have approved plans detailing how they will use their shares of that funding.

Hamilton The 630-resident Town of Hamilton will receive $56,496, or 0.16 percent of the county’s overall allocation.

Mayor Dave Simpson said the Town Council would vote on a spending plan on June 8. He said that plan could include funds set aside to pay for a hand washing station at the Hamilton Community Park, which is already disinfected each morning, and guidelines for dispersing aid money to in-town businesses.

210 N. 21st St., # E Purcellville, VA 20132

JUNE 4, 2020

Hillsboro—Loudoun’s smallest town with a population of 170 residents—will get $15,125 in CARES Act funding, or 0.04 percent of the county’s overall allocation.

Vice Mayor Amy Marasco said she and Mayor Roger Vance would present a proposed spending plan to the Town Council on June 16 that could see the town use the money to pay for cleaning supplies for the Old Stone School and for residents.

She said the town would also look at implementing a food voucher program for residents to get pre-paid meals at the Moo Thru ice cream truck, the Stoneybrook Farm Market and the Hill Tom Market.

Marasco said that if the town has any money left over after covering those ini-

tiatives, it might explore issuing grants to in-town businesses, installing permanent hand sanitizer stations and perhaps upgrading parts of the Old Stone School kitchen—since, Marasco said, studies have shown that the coronavirus might live longer on stainless steel surfaces.

Leesburg Leesburg—the largest town in Virginia, with 54,000 residents—will receive the largest portion of CARES Act funding among Loudoun towns. It will receive about $4.8 million, or 13.3 percent of the county’s overall allocation.

Leesburg Mayor Kelly Burk said the town staff would present a proposed spending plan with a “variety of options” to the Town Council on June 8. She said the town is eyeing using $800,000 of its allocation to reimburse itself for the direct costs it incurred responding to the crisis and the remaining amount to support businesses and nonprofits. The council is expected to vote on a spending plan June 9.

“We’re excited to be able to do that,” Burk said.

Lovettsville The 2,200-resident Town of Lovettsville is set to receive $187,372 in CARES Act funding—0.52-percent of the county’s overall allocation.

The Town Council last Thursday voted to use $88,500 to set up a business interruption fund; $45,000 to continue providing residents with essential services; $30,000 to donate to nonprofits supporting “life-sustaining services,” such as food banks; $18,872 to pay for COVID-19-related expenses, like cleaning supplies, legal fees and technology to enable teleworking capabilities; and $5,000 to help the Lovettsville Volunteer Fire and Rescue Company pay for personal protective equipment.

Middleburg The 835-resident Town of Middleburg will receive $74,824 in CARES Act funding, or 0.21-percent of the county’s overall allocation.

The Middleburg Town Council last Thursday night voted to authorize Town Administrator Danny Davis to use those funds to help pay for the multiple business financial relief programs the council approved in March and April.

Longtime Lovettsville Mayor Elaine Walker Remembered

BY PATRICK SZABO

pszabo@loudounnow.com

Former Lovettsville Mayor Elaine Walker, who served at the head of the town for two decades in the ‘90s and early 2000s, died Sunday night.

Walker, a Lovettsville native, has a track record in the town dating back to the early 1980s. She originally served on the Town Council for a decade before being elected mayor in 1990.

She was re-elected 10 Walker times, eventually serving 11 terms, or 22 years, in that role.

Walker was also a founding member of the Coalition of Loudoun Towns—a non-legislative group comprised of Loudoun’s seven mayors that meets to share suggestions and collaborate on challenges their towns face, which was created in the early 1990s.

It was because of Walker that former town manager Sam Finz ever came to Lovettsville. In 2005, Walker asked Finz to help out in town. From that point forward, Finz worked as Lovettsville’s interim town manager on three separate occasions and as a consultant, in which role he helped to hire the town’s first three town managers ever. Finz also helped to strengthen the town’s financial standing and actively promoted the fiscal policy.

And it was during Walker’s term as mayor that former three-term Mayor Bob Zoldos, who succeeded Walker in 2012,

got the idea to have the Town Council pass more proclamations naming days for important people around town.

Walker and her late husband, Cliff, were also involved with the Lovettsville Fire and Rescue Company for decades; Cliff was an original member of the rescue squad, which formed in August 1966, and Elaine joined the auxiliary when it formed two years later.

Current Mayor Nate Fontaine said Walker spent years helping to make Lovettsville the town it is today, by ensuring that as it grew, the small-town feel was maintained.

“That’s really what Elaine was most known for … those relationships she built with people,” Fontaine said, noting that Walker was a “wealth of information and knowledge” who was persistent in making sure that she was heard. “Western Loudoun’s lost a huge advocate and a huge supporter.”

Zoldos echoed Fontaine’s thoughts on how Walker helped to shape the town, adding that it’s impossible to think about Lovettsville without thinking about Walker. He noted that before Finz hired the first town manager, Walker acted simultaneously in that role, working 50- to 60-hour weeks to run the town.

“She was a full-time mayor,” he said.

Zoldos said Walker’s mentorship wore off on him and made him a more effective mayor. He said he hopes residents for generations to come will know why the pavilion on the town green is named for WALKER continues on page 19

PURCELLVILLE Town Continues Meals Tax Collection as of June 1 As of Monday, Purcellville restaurants and businesses are required to resume collecting meals tax from their patrons.

In response to coronavirus-related business restrictions, the Town Council voted March 24 to suspend the town’s 5-percent meals tax collection for the months of April and May. That holiday ended June 1. For more information, call the town at 540-338-7421.

Town Outlines Plans for Grads, 4th of July The town Parks and Recreation Division has outlined tentative plans to congratulate graduating high school seniors and celebrate Independence Day. Since the final portion of the school year, and senior graduations at Loudoun Valley and Woodgrove high schools, have been canceled in response to the coronavirus crisis, the town is planning to post a congratulatory message on the community sign and on social media, promote a date and time for all residents to step out onto their front lawns and make noise for the Class of 2020, compile a congratulatory video recorded by any resident wanting to participate, and place an advertisement in the newspaper.

Although the Independence Day Parade has been canceled, the town could bring it back in a different way—with all participants required to be atop floats, in vehicles or on horses, and a parade route that features limited streets. That way, participants will be able to adhere to social distancing mandates. That idea was raised by some Town Council members last Tuesday.

Police Chief Cynthia McAlister said the town would need to figure out how

JUNE 4, 2020

to enforce social distancing on sidewalks along the parade route.

The town might also encourage residents to decorate their lawns with a patriotic theme to be judged in a decoration competition.

“I think our community desperately needs this,” said Councilman Joel Grewe.

Purcellville Lions Club Donates $8K to Local Nonprofits The Purcellville Lions Club recently made donations of $2,000 each to Loudoun Hunger Relief, Mobile Hope, Tree of Life Ministries and the Salvation Army Food Box Initiative.

The club later this month will announce the winners of two scholarships it awards to students from Woodgrove and Loudoun Valley high schools each year.

Police Remind Residents to Lock Up Each Night The Purcellville Police Department is reminding residents to follow the “9 p.m.

Routine” each night to keep their homes, vehicles and valuables safe.

The department is reminding residents every night at 9 to lock their home doors and windows, turn on exterior lights, lock

their car doors and shut the windows, remove valuables from their cars, close their garage doors, set home and car alarms and ensure toys and other personal items are store indoors. According to a town statement, most criminals are looking for easy targets, like unlocked doors.

Throughout the month of May, Purcellville Police responded to 14 calls related to suspicious persons/vehicle incidents.

Town Encourages Weekly Water Flushing During Closures The Town of Purcellville is reminding water customers to conduct weekly water flushings during business closures to protect against the growth of bacteria.

According to a town statement, stagnant water is conducive of some disease-causing bacteria, like Legionella. If closed businesses are unable to flush their water weekly, they must flush their lines prior to occupants returning to the building. To flush, open all cold water faucets and let them run simultaneously for 15 to 30 minutes; open all hot water faucets and let them run until cold; flush all appliances that use water, like ice makers and dishwashers; and replace filters and aerators attached to faucets.

All told, the town has spent about $350,000 on those initiatives. “[Those programs] cost way more than $74,000,” Davis said. “We might as well pay ourselves back for the expenses that we’ve already incurred.”

Purcellville Purcellville—western Loudoun’s largest town, with a population of about 10,200 residents—will get $891,932 in CARES Act funding, or 2.47-percent of the county’s overall allocation.

Town Manager David Mekarski last week briefed the Town Council on how the town could use that funding. The town could use its share of funding to test town staff and residents for COVID-19, pay for personal protective equipment and sanitization products for police officers, improve workforce technology to support teleworking capabilities, help reim-

burse for paychecks delivered to current and temporary town staffers, and award grants to small businesses to help reimburse them for the time they were closed or operating at limited capacities and to help them promote state-mandated social distancing measures.

Administration Director Hooper McCann said the town is considering partnering with Loudoun County Economic Development to implement those grants.

The Town Council is expected to vote on a spending plan on June 9.

Round Hill The 660-resident Town of Round Hill will receive $59,077 in CARES Act funding, or 0.16 percent of the county’s overall allocation.

The Town Council on Wednesday was expected to vote to approve a spending plan that will use $15,000 of that amount to award grants to businesses, and the remainder to pay for costs the town plans to incur while operating amid the pandemic.

Conditions on Spending According to Loudoun Department of Finance and Budget Assistant Director Megan Bourke, the towns must spend their funds on expenses “that are necessary due to the coronavirus pandemic.” If

a town decides to distribute its funds to other entities, “there must be a clear nexus between the pandemic and the purpose of the expenditure.”

Marty Kloeden, Purcellville’s grant and insurance coordinator, noted that one of the unique conditions of CARES Act funding is that towns get to keep any assets they purchase with the money, such as barricades to divide outdoor dining areas.

Towns can’t use the funds to compensate for a loss of revenue; to pay for capital improvement projects, unless they’re performed to address the pandemic; to pay for damages already covered by insurance; or to cover payroll costs or benefit expenses for employees who aren’t “substantially dedicated to mitigating or responding to the COVID-19 emergency,” according to the U.S. Treasury.

All towns are required to submit a mid-cycle report to the county by Sept.

1 that includes an updated spending plan and financial report detailing how the funds have been spent, along with an explanation of how they comply with federal conditions. The towns are required to submit a final report to the county on Jan. 8, 2021. At that time, the towns must also return to the federal government any funds they did not spend by Dec. 30. n

Walker continued from page 17 Walker—a designation the town leadership made in 2013.

“What a big loss it is for the town,” he said. “Those shoes cannot be filled.”

Bob Lazaro worked closely with Walker when he served as Purcellville’s mayor.

“It was a pleasure to serve in office with Mayor Walker during my public service in Purcellville. She was a great elected official who loved her community which in turn loved her back. She was truly an institution in Loudoun. My sincere condolences to Elaine’s family on their loss. She now joins her beloved husband Cliff in heaven,” Lazaro said.

Fred George, another Lovettsville native and the president of the Lovettsville Game Protective Association, posted on Facebook that Walker was key to the construction of the Squirkle—a resident nickname for the road system that directs northbound and southbound Rt. 287 traffic around the Town Square.

Fontaine said the Town Council would pass a proclamation honoring Walker and host some sort of event that “signifies a celebration of her life” once social distancing mandates are loosened more.n

‘Suddenly We Were on Fire’ Loudoun’s CSAs Find a Silver Lining in COVID-19 Crisis

BY JAN MERCKER

jmercker@loudounnow.com

Community Supported Agriculture memberships at one of Loudoun’s bestknown farms had been lagging in recent years. Then the COVID-19 crisis hit.

Hana Newcomb, manager of Potomac Vegetable Farms near Purcellville, says membership in the farm’s 20-year-old community supported agriculture program had dipped in the past five years.

But all of that changed with stay-at-home orders and supply chain horror stories.

“March 12 or 13, suddenly we were on fire. It was kind of amazing how quickly the shares started to sell. It’s such an interesting response for people to have, to be turning to that so immediately after they realized they were stuck,” Newcomb said.

The coronavirus crisis has been a blow for many small businesses in Loudoun.

But western Loudoun’s farms are seeing a silver lining: interest in CSA programs is way up as area residents find a sense of security in local produce during uncertain times.

For consumers, the jump in interest is both about wanting to support local businesses and getting reassurance about their food supply. Many of us also have more time on our hands and may be more open to cooking and experimenting with farmer-selected produce.

“Over time [members] are starting to figure out how much cooking they’re doing, and this is not going to be as daunting as they thought. People didn’t spend as much time cooking as they do now, and they didn’t eat at home as much,” Newcomb said. “It’s been an interesting confluence of occurrences. ... I don’t think they’re silly to say the fewer hands that touch my food the better. If you look at how the food gets to you through the normal channels, gosh, how many hands is that? For us, it’s me and you, basically.”

COVID-19 has also brought big changes to PVF’s popular farm stand between Purcellville and Lovettsville. Instead of walking in and sniffing a fresh bunch of basil, customers now put in orders with the staff in a no-touch system.

“We had to flip our practices so much. ... When they come to the stand it’s going to be more like going to the deli instead

of a nice market,” Newcomb said. “People will get used to it but it’s sad that we may have left something behind forever that we didn’t even know we were going to lose.”

Carolee Stearns of Lovettsville joined PVF’s CSA program after her family’s first week in lockdown in March after years of opting for la carte shopping at the farm stand.

“My brain was spinning on two things: what can we do to secure ongoing food availability, but also how can we support and bolster small businesses and farms locally so that stuff doesn’t go under,” Stearns said. “It was both wanting to support them and wanting them to support us.”

Stearns opted for prepacked CSA boxes to allow her to streamline shopping for her family. Stearns makes bi-monthly Costco trips and uses curbside pick-up service from a nearby grocery store, but getting high-quality fresh produce has been a challenge. The weekly CSA share fills that gap. Food security was also a big consideration for Stearns, who says she initially started thinking about a member-

ship after a widespread E. Coli outbreak in California’s lettuce fields made news in late 2019. But the coronavirus crisis sealed the deal.

Stearns and her family are also creating what she calls an “emergency homestead” with a small garden and a flock of chickens for eggs. She also bought a cow share from another area farm giving them to access fresh local milk.

“I also think this COVID thing is going to disrupt our food supply in weird and sometimes predictable ways, but I also think there are going to be some weird, unexpected consequences. Diversifying your food supply just makes sense,” she said.

As Loudouners rethink how they eat, the wait list for the whole diet CSA program at Moutoux Orchard grows and grows. Unlike seasonal produce CSAs, the Moutoux program offers vegetables, meats, dairy, seasonal fruits and some dry goods year-round.

The new art history/pop culture exhibition features West Virginia artist Jim Koenig’s collection of 60 items inspired by Leonardo DaVinci’s iconic painting “The Last Supper.” Thanks to Virginia’s Phase One reopening, the space will now allow physically distanced small group walkins, with masks required. The show opens Friday, June 12 from 5 to 7pm. After that, the space will be open Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m. and by appointment through July 31.

Loudoun CSAs continued from page 20 “In some ways we are trying to be a one-stop shop farm,” said Mo Moutoux, who runs the farm near Purcellville with her husband Rob. “We were full right before this hit, but we have a waiting list.

And our waiting list is as long as it’s been in years.”

The Moutoux couple were able to expand their membership for the start of the new membership season this month but maxed out at 100 members.

“I think what we’re finding now is that since the COVID crisis hit, not only is the interest in knowing where your food is coming from because people see bare grocery store shelves and it’s scary,” Moutoux said. “Especially in Loudoun where there are a lot of people who would like to preserve the rural farm aesthetic, they also recognize that this is going to be a challenging time for farms. So, they’re upping their support.”

Moutoux said meat shortages and news of infections at meatpacking plants have caused interest in locally raised meats to skyrocket. Demand for local produce of all kinds has jumped in ways local farmers haven’t seen since Michael Pollen’s “The Omnivore’s Dilemma” was published in 2006, she added.

“This feels like the season that ‘The Omnivore’s Dilemma’ came out,” she said.

“The rise in CSA sign-ups was astronomical, and it feels like it’s similar to that.

There’s some kind of impetus that causes people to be like, ‘Wait, where is all my food coming from?’ The question for us as farmers and businesses is how do we keep those people?”

This year, a rise in demand coincides with an especially challenging spring for many local farmers, with a hard frost and low temperatures in the 20s in mid-May followed by several days of intense heat later in the month. For Moutoux, it’s important that CSA newbies remember the concept at the heart of community supported agriculture.

“That’s the wonder and the amazing part about CSAs, is that we all take on the risk together, the farmers and the consumers. Obviously, we want to be able to provide the service we say we’re going to provide. In a spring like this, that’s really hard. Everyone I know lost something in the frost,” she said. “I would encourage people who are joining CSAs for the first time to remember the concept of CSA is that: We all are taking on risk together.”

Brian Tinsman, marketing and communications manager for the county’s economic development agency, says the health crisis has created additional interest in supporting local agriculture. The county has launched a Take Loudoun Home campaign along with a Loudoun Made Loudoun Grown Marketplace and maintains an updated listing of 20 local CSAs at its loudounfarms.org website.

Higher demand for local produce has also created opportunity for new CSA startups around western Loudoun in re-

cent years.

Erik Schlener, founder of Root and Marrow Farm near Lovettsville, has dramatically expanded his CSA program this year to meet increased demand. Schlener started growing in 2018 with a focus on restaurant clients and a small CSA program. But as restaurant sales dried up in the early months of the pandemic, demand for CSA shares shot up.

“As soon as we saw that there was going to be an uptick in demand, we started working to meet as many people’s needs

as possible,” Schlener said. “The U.S. has such a fragile food supply system. I think there are going to be some really big impacts. It’s hard to get good, clean fresh food. As a farm, we’re trying to meet that demand as much as possible.”

Schlener was able to bump up to 140 shares from an initially planned 75. The demand for local produce, he said, is all about trust.

“I think people really are seeing that it’s someone they can trust. When a customer gets a tomato from us, there’s a good chance it’s only been touched by one person,” he said. “In the traditional supply chain with something coming from California, it could have been touched by who knows how many hands.”

And while the drop in restaurant sales was a challenge, Schlener has embraced the farm’s CSA-focused new model.

“I get so much energy from sharing the produce with others,” he said. “I loved restaurants for that reason, but I’m enjoying meeting so many more customers through our CSA.” Schlener’s brother Austin is a trained chef who helps him run the farm and provides recipes with each weekly pick-up.

“He and I are trying to transform the image of CSAs and really work on educating the customer on how to use this stuff ... to really make something that people will love. Kids will grow up loving the produce from our farm and know how to cook meals for themselves and have the healthiest produce.” n

Town of Leesburg Continues Water Valve Exercise and Maintenance Program Public Notification The Town of Leesburg is continuing a preventative maintenance program to protect the longevity and operation of the water system infrastructure and valves. This valve exercise program 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 each 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. It may be necessary to repeat this process after 30 minutes. In addition, the closing and opening of valves may introduce air into water lines which can cause temporary erratic water flow. If this occurs, open your cold water tap until a clear steady flow of water is observed.

The valve exercising will occur April through November during the hours of 7 a.m. – 3 p.m., 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.

Opinion A Community Commitment After three months of near social isolation, Loudouners gathered in a big way over the weekend.

However, it wasn’t the newly reopened wineries and breweries that were overrun, but Leesburg’s historic district, which hosted the largest community demonstration since the one following the 9-11 terrorist attacks.

Like that event nearly two decades ago, Sunday’s gathering was planned as a solemn, peaceful opportunity for the residents to share their grief and build bonds that would make their community, and the nation, stronger.

Unlike that earlier gathering, residents this week were responding to a tragedy that occurred 1,000 miles away, not in their backyard.

That only emphasizes the high level of compassion our community has repeatedly demonstrated in the face of injustice.

It also shows a commitment to do better here at home.

That’s a continuing mission and, as the School Board is finding out, requires a community conversation. Since February, School Board member John Beatty has been under fire for comments made

bias—among the elements seen as fueling systematic racism. While community leaders have called for Beatty to be removed from his seat on the division’s Equity Committee and from his leadership post on the board’s Discipline Committee, Beatty and his fellow board members have remained silent. The board’s recent action to formally refuse to consider requests for sanctions sparked a new furor, with calls that he resign his elected post entirely, and even the board’s supporters questioning members’ commitment to addressing educational inequities.

Progress can’t be made without moving beyond the accusations and denials. It requires frank, uncomfortable, often-controversial conversations. We know the damage stonewalling and obfuscation can do to communities. Public trust is easier broken than it is earned.

As we saw, once again, on Sunday, Loudouners want to do better than that.

EDITORIAL Renss Greene, Deputy Editor rgreene@loudounnow.com

Editor: We met at the doorstep, the pastor and I, two days ago to discuss pandemic-fueled hunger in our congregations; the conversation between friends slowly but inexorably turned towards police brutality in Minneapolis, everywhere really, and the plight and gnawing fear of black Americans.

This leader of a western Loudoun African American congregation, which is filled with the most dear salt-of-the-earth people I’ve ever met, could not talk of what happened in Minneapolis without weeping—I saw the tears; no, I didn’t see them as much as I felt it them, even at a social distance. There it was, right in front of us, slavery and its ruinous aftermath, in 21st century Loudoun county.

He looked at me, both of us persons of the cloth, and asked if I feared for my

He looked at me, a person belonging to a church that in the past contributed to the humiliation and oppression of his people, me an American in a class that looks too often and maybe always, with indifference on slavery’s ramifications, and I felt to wilt under his kind and non-judgemental gaze.

hands, and listen, only listen.

— Chris Stevenson, Purcellville

Broken Promise Editor: The board of directors of the Unison Preservation Society adamantly opposes amending the zoning code at this time to allow for increased density in the TR3 and TR10 areas of the Transition Policy Area.

Saying this is about affordable housing is just wrong. It’s the wrong time, the wrong place and the wrong way to go about creating affordable housing in Loudoun right now.

This amendment breaks the promise supervisors made in May 2019 not to do these sorts of one-off, developer giveaways prior to the completion of the current rewrite of the zoning code. Randomly adding affordable housing to a development is the least effective or efficient way to accomplish the goal of housing affordability in the county. It’s the old way.

Throwing density into an area that hasn’t planned for it, isn’t ready for it and may not be the best place for it, is crazy at this stage of the zoning rewrite. Just from the Rt. 50 traffic perspective alone, what are they thinking?

Finally, the board has a blue ribbon panel studying housing affordability, which has yet to report. Supervisors should wait until they have a viable, thoughtful, acceptable plan.

Promise-breaking, developer-oriented, last-minute votes that reflect shoddy, inefficient planning are not the way this board should be operating in 2020. That’s not why they were voted in. It’s shocking, really.

Do not amend the Zoning Code to allow more density in the Transition Policy Area.

— Tara J. Connell, President, Unison Preservation Society

Not A Problem Editor: Let’s be clear: There is no “rural cluster problem” in western Loudoun.

With an unprecedented amount of public input, the Board of Supervisors spent years crafting the 2019 Comprehensive Plan, which serves a guide for county-wide land development. With respect to residential development in the Rural Policy Area, the Comprehensive Plan expressly recognizes that “rural clusters remain the preferred residential development pattern.”

Why? Because rural clusters are a

responsible form of by-right development that preserve everything we love about western Loudoun.

But, don’t take my word for it. According to the Comprehensive Plan, rural clusters “better preserve the natural features and open character of the land by tightly grouping homes on smaller lots so that a majority of the land is available for rural economy uses, agriculture, and/or open space.” On top of that, “the concentration of homes in a rural cluster also minimize the amount of roads, clearing and grading, and the overall footprint of development, compared to a conventional by-right subdivision which requires placement of homes on a uniform size lot dispersed over an entire property.”

A vocal minority is making calls to amend the Zoning Ordinance to implement the supposed Comprehensive Plan goal of limiting rural cluster density to preserve the rural character of western Loudoun. The irony is the Comprehensive Plan, in fact, does not call for any reduction in rural cluster density. To the contrary, the Comprehensive Plan applauds the present use of rural clusters as a preferred development option for preserving the rural character of western Loudoun.

Don’t be fooled by the suggestion that there is a “rural cluster problem.” The county’s rural policy – as reflected in the Comprehensive Plan – makes clear that rural clusters are not a problem for western Loudoun. They are a solution.

— Nick Albu, Purcellville

Arrogance Editor: I feel compelled to speak out regarding the actions of certain of our elected officials in organizing and/or participating in Sunday’s protest on the streets of Leesburg. Your article on this protest, published online Sunday afternoon, identified county Chairwoman Phyllis Randall, Rep. Jennifer Weston, and Leesburg Town Council member Ron Campbell among the organizers or participants.

I wish to say at the outset, and stress, that my anger has nothing whatsoever to do with the subject of the protest or the merits thereof. Rather, it is due to the lack of judgment, questionable priorities, and lack of concern shown for the citizens of our town by these individuals. My objections are based on two reasons: First, given the prior and ongoing violence as close as Washington, DC and Richmond, and the numerous news reports of outside agitators contributing to this violence, our elected officials had no way of knowing if this demonstration, regardless of the organizers’ good intentions, would have remained peaceful (as

luckily it did) or would have brought the violence to the middle of our community.

This was not something the organizers could have controlled and it was only by luck that violence did not occur. This was a risk that should not have been taken.

Second, our businesses and citizens are still suffering from the closures, layoffs, and disruptions of COVID 19. We are still subject to our governor’s order limiting gatherings to 10 people. While most of the protestors, based on the photograph published in this newspaper on Sunday, were wearing facemasks, we all know by now that those masks, with the exception of N95 masks reserved for healthcare and other at-risk professionals, only protect others from an infected person wearing the mask. They do not protect other persons wearing a mask from an infected person who is not. There appeared to be several persons in the crowd not wearing masks, and at the time of the speeches, were not social distancing. The risk of increasing the infection rate in our town is significant.

Churches and other places of worship have been closed and are now subject to severe limitations. Why are the First Amendment rights of churchgoers less important than those of the protesters who blatantly violated the governor’s order? What does it say to the struggling businesses and citizens of our town, who have been trying their best, sometimes at huge cost and sacrifice, to comply with the restrictions imposed on them, that the priorities of these politicians are such that they deemed staging this protest more important than the health, livelihood and rights of the rest of the citizens of Leesburg? Our frustrations with politicians who exercised such arrogance should be voiced at the polls in November.

— Sharon L. Babbin, Leesburg

A Responsibility Editor: Wearing a mask to prevent community spread of COVID-19 should be everyone’s responsibility.

First let me say, I don’t like wearing a mask. It’s uncomfortable, my glasses fog up, and people have a hard time hearing me. I am over 60, with no pre-existing conditions and I wear a mask to prevent community spread of COVID-19 when I go out to the grocery store, pharmacy or other necessary trips. I also wear a mask to prevent my husband from catching the virus from me. So far, in ZIP codes 20175 and 20176 there have been 257 confirmed cases of COVID-19.

I don’t wear a mask because I’m a Democrat. I don’t wear a mask because I think I will get sick. I don’t wear a mask so I don’t have to wear lipstick! I wear a mask

PAGE 37

because our top doctors and scientists tell us it is the smart thing to do if we want to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and get back to business quicker.

I really don’t understand why our elected leaders—when out in—are not wearing masks. We elect these folks to lead us. We elect them to set an example of what a responsible citizen should be doing. We elect them to help make our communities safer. We elect them to help us prosper.

And, most of all, we trust them to do the right thing.

When our leaders ask us to do our part to slow the spread, why aren’t they setting the example? Do they think they won’t get it? Do they think they will look silly?

Do they think their glasses will fog up?

Do they think they are immune? Do they think they are exempt?

I ask everyone no matter their age, sex, political affiliation to do the responsible thing and wear a mask when in public. If not for yourself, do it for your loved ones to protect them. And maybe then, we can return to our new normal.

— Susan Platt, Leesburg

Heroes Act Editor: Kudos to Rep. Jennifer Wexton, who recently joined her House colleagues in passing the Heroes Act—desperately needed funds for Virginia to help protect the jobs of our frontline workers, provide hazard pay for those risking their lives during the pandemic, and push additional relief to American families struggling to cover rent and mortgage payments.

A high priority for the congresswoman and me is investments in testing, contact tracing and virus treatments. I was delighted to see these investments were covered in the House-passed bill. And other good news related to the Heroes Act? Included was the congresswoman’s proposal to engage the country’s best scientific minds about stopping the dangerous spread of fake medical information and conspiracy theories relating to COVID-19.

The fate of the Heroes Act is now in the hands of the U.S. Senate. In the meantime, the congresswoman continues to push for additional support to law enforcement agents responding to horrific COVID-related increases in domestic violence incidents. To date, several dozen House members are already co-sponsors of the congresswoman’s recently introduced bill.

She stands squarely with critical responders who deserve all the help they can get in their fight to protect innocent people.

— Elizabeth Heagy, Leesburg

PAGE 38

I can’t breathe continued from page 1 Jennifer T. Wexton (D-VA-10), and Leesburg Town Council member Ron Campbell, whose new group Citizens for a Better Leesburg first planned the event.

“If your presence means anything, it’s no more rhetoric about what we need to do,” Campbell said. “We know the changes. We’ve been fighting for them long enough. We either need to have the courage to do what we say we’re going to do, or move those aside who don’t.”

The protest came in the wake of the latest series of high-profile police killings of black people including Ahmaud Aubrey in Georgia, Breonna Taylor in Lousville, KY, and most recently George Floyd in Minneapolis, MN. It was named after some of Floyd’s final words, as a Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck, and the phrase “I can’t breathe” became a rallying cry for protesters again. The phrase was also prominent in previous protests following the death of another black man, Eric Garner, who said the same thing shortly before he died after being arrested in New York City, and Freddie Gray, who said the same thing before he died after being arrested in Baltimore.

It was also a fervent but peaceful reflection of the protests that have gripped communities across the nation, leading in some cases to riots and violent clashes with police.

“There’s one thing I know for sure: George Floyd was a tipping point, he was a tipping point, but there were so many that came before,” Randall said. She and Thomas also urged protesters to take their energy to the ballot box in November.

“Chanting, speaking, is the easy part,” Thomas said. “The harder part comes in the weeks to come, when it’s time to vote up.”

Ali, one protester, said he was brought to the demonstration by “a sense of being.”

“This is definitely a time when we need to stand together,” Ali said. “When I say that, I mean everyone, everyone of all colors. We have to show that what’s going on is unacceptable as a society to everyone, that we notice it, we acknowledge it and we have a problem with it.”

He said he would continue to find other rallies and protests, and said others should join.

“It’s not enough to say you support from your couch, or from your Instagram or your Twitter, it’s not enough,” he said.

“This is important. Being out here is important, because the people who don’t

Community Organization Seeks to Activate Leesburg

BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ

krodriguez@loudounnow.com

A new community organization is hoping to energize the Leesburg community and keep them engaged on issues of importance.

It was an eventful inaugural week for Citizens for a Better Leesburg, a group organized by Leesburg Town Councilman Ron Campbell. Supporters gathered on Memorial Day at the historic African American Mt. Zion Community Cemetery in Leesburg to place American flags on graves of veterans. It was later that day that news broke on the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in Minneapolis, MN. Video footage that has been widely circulated shows Floyd struggling to breathe while an officer kneels on his neck, with Floyd pleading, “I can’t breathe,” an image strikingly similar to the 2014 death of a Eric Garner in New York and following recent high profile deaths of Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor.

Floyd’s death has led to a week of unrest across the U.S., as the black community and its supporters stage demonstrations on injustice and police brutality. It led Campbell and those involved with the new community organization to schedule a peaceful demonstration in front of Leesburg Town Hall on Sunday afternoon. The demonstration soon became much larger than anticipated, and led to a peaceful march through the downtown area and speeches on the Loudoun County Courthouse lawn.

Campbell said Monday he has been fielding calls from supporters on how the group plans to follow up with Sunday’s massive event, which drew upwards of 1,000 attendees. He said the goal of Sunday’s event was to show Floyd’s family and the people of Minneapolis that the Leesburg community cares about them.

“I’ve been asked all day when’s the next protest,” Campbell said. “We’re not a protest organization, but what you should be thinking about is how you stay well informed, how you volunteer. Activism sometimes is raising your voice.

I think we want to be that conduit to help people get engaged, stay engaged, agree with what we’re doing, people who aren’t supporting, are disturbed by our presence right now, and that’s the point.”

Other attendees said their next step would be to cast their votes.

“We need to start voting in ways that

and find ways to engage. There’s enough volunteer opportunities, boards, commissions, community organizations. I think this is a great time for the town to see some different energies. We need to make sure every voice matters.”

Campbell said he had the idea for Citizens for a Better Leesburg in 2018 during his mayoral bid.

“I registered the Facebook page in 2018, thinking about what kinds of opportunities there are to help our community and engage voices. But I didn’t want to use it as a political arm; I wanted to use it as an advocacy group,” he said. “A few weeks ago, I was just talking with some of my advisors about my own future. The idea came up, why do we have to wait for elected officials? There’s enough good energy out here to do things without politics and getting involved in a partisan way.”

The group has already started polling the community on another—how residents thinks Leesburg should use the $4.8 million in CARES funding the town has been awarded by the federal government, a matter expected to come before the Town Council next week. Campbell, whose council term is up at year’s end, has stayed mum on his own plans for public office, but has big hopes for what can make a difference,” said Abby, another protester. “… Everyone can come together and support a cause.”

“What we want you to do is to stay engaged,” Thomas said. “What we want you to do is to find somebody that does not

the community group can achieve.

“I think what we want people to see is a very diverse group of interests, political backgrounds, interfaith populations willing to partner on any issue that gets brought to us.

Most organizations are so one-issue dedicated. We want to help everybody do everything they want to do by activating the community, but we don’t own any issue,” he said. “We really do believe there’s enough good people in Leesburg and a small group of people have enough good connections that they can be a resource or conduit to help facilitate change. We’re not a problem-solving group, we’re not a protest or action-oriented group. We’re a group that’s concerned about Leesburg and we want to help however it’s necessary.”

There is no formal membership or structure to the organization as of yet, Campbell said, and interested community members need only follow the Citizens for a Better Leesburg Facebook page to stay involved. Although there are no additional events planned at press time, information on those will also be posted to the page.

Samirah Criticizes DC Police After Being Tear Gassed

Samirah posted several videos on his twitter page, including one featuring one of the protesters pushing back barriers that had been set up by police around the protest area and another of protesters throwing items on a fire in a downtown street. Two others show Samirah talking

into his camera after being exposed to the tear gas.

“I represent the DC area in the Virginia House of Delegates. Last night, the police tear gassed me anyway,” he wrote on the video post.

“When I was able to identify myself as an elected official, police momentarily backed off. But that’s a privilege that millions of other black folks like me don’t have in the US. It’s a privilege that George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others didn’t have,” Samirah said in a press release about the incident.

The delegate also criticized President Donald J. Trump.

“While Americans join together in a historic display of solidarity and compassion, Donald Trump continues to hide behind his racism and encourage law enforcement to threaten, attack and brutalize peaceful demonstrators like me,” he wrote in the press release. “Somehow in the year since the President and I l​ast

met in Jamestown​, his bigotry has gotten even more reprehensible. There’s no question that the President watched with cowardice from the other side of the White House lawn while the pain of our nation was made worse by overzealous police.”

“It should be clear to all that there are deep and systemic issues with racism, brutality, and corruption in our police departments. Until we take a courageous stand for real, tangible change, justice will not be achieved. That’s why I am joining the growing nationwide movement that is calling for the demilitarization of our police and a redirection of funds from police departments to the services folks need now more than ever, like housing, healthcare, education, transportation, and true public safety,” he wrote. “These are certainly unprecedented times and I encourage everyone to keep their protest safe and righteous. As an elected official and member of my community, I make it my duty to continue this struggle until ALL of my constituents can finally feel safe in their own neighborhoods. No justice, no peace.” n

happy to be some kind of open and seeing our customers again. But hopefully we can get to more capacity soon. We need to be at 100 percent to be able to survive.”

Meanwhile, after a request from the Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce, the county government has opened up free applications for temporary permits to expand seating into parking lots, which are necessary for approval from the state Alcoholic Beverages Commission. The Chamber has also asked the county to allow temporary signs to attract and direct customers.

Those permits went into effect when the county entered the first phase of reopening and will expire when restrictions on indoor dining end or the Board of Supervisors rescinds the county’s Declaration of Emergency, whichever comes first. To apply, go to loudoun.gov/outdoorseating.

The rules on reopening mean many businesses with limited outdoor seating can serve only a handful of customers— and other businesses, none at all. They also mean that business owners had to weigh whether it was worth it for them to reopen under rules that still dramatically limit how many customers they can serve.

Old Ox Brewery is among those businesses that decided, even under the new rules, it’s worth it. The brewery’s Middleburg location opened at noon Friday, with the Ashburn location opening this Friday.

They’ve also taken precautions: tables have been arranged to be six feet apart, no furniture moving is allowed, and kids and pets are allowed in only if they stay at the table the whole time. Members of the brewery’s

mug club, Order of the Ox, also may not use their mugs, since all beers are being served in disposable plastic cups.

President and CEO Chris Burns said the decision was made based on the amount of outdoor seating they have in Middleburg—and they’re working to expand outdoor seating at their Ashburn location.

“In Ashburn, we received approval from our condo association yesterday to expand into the parking lot area further, so we’re still working with Virginia ABC to make sure it’s nice and legal before we open next week,” Burns said. “That’s one of the reasons that we’re delaying the Ashburn opening until next week. And we believe that with the additional seating capacity and the addition of porta-potties outside, we’ll have ample room to welcome in a reasonable number of guests.”

But, he said, that was just a small step.

“I’m not sure that it’s going to dramatically improve the bottom line, but we have to start somewhere,” Burns said. “And what we didn’t want to have happen is have a reopening in Phase Two where maybe it makes more financial sense, but we’re just not prepared for the amount of people that we can welcome back at that time. This is a really good opportunity for us to hone our processes and procedures while our capacity is still relatively low so our staff doesn’t get overwhelmed with larger crowds in Phase Two.” But even for venues with expansive outdoor space, Phase One may not be the time to reopen. Tarara Winery, host of the Tarara Summer Concert Series and known for its expansive outdoor space, will continue

serving carry-out orders only.

“After careful consideration of our infrastructure and our staff for the vast amount of grounds without the proper structure and facilities we feel we cannot safely yet open,” the winery posted on Facebook.

“Access to our restrooms and our hospitality area is just not feasible for solely outdoor operation and we just don’t have the comfort level that we will be able to give you the service you deserve and keep you and our staff safe.”

General Manager Jordan Harris said the decision not to open up yet was attributable to a number of factors, including maintaining physical distancing around the restroom facilities, which are inside.

“There was a little bit of nerves on a couple hundred people coming up, and those couple hundred people are going to be trying to use those bathrooms.”

He also said it would be difficult to keep an eye on all of the winery’s outdoor spaces to make sure the rules are being followed— and he was worried about his employees, and not just whether they’d pick up a virus.

“For a lot of people, working in wineries is kind of their weekend job, so a lot of them, they’ve also lost their weekday job,” Harris said. “We don’t want them to compromise their unemployment or anything like that because they’re working a day for us.”

As to when it will be time to reopen: “I have no idea how to answer that.”

“It’s a shame that we’re not going to be open for it, because I think that there’s going to be pretty good bump for those that are open,” he said. n

Del. Ibraheem S. Samirah (D-86) issued a statement Monday criticizing the actions of law enforcement officers during Sunday night’s protests in Washington, DC, where he said he was among the demonstrators who suffered from the use of tear gas.

The Herndon dentist said he joined the protestors to demand justice for George Floyd and an end to racist police violence and brutality.

“I, like many others over the past week, was engaging in peaceful, democratic protest when the police forces who were present escalated the situation. There was a curfew set by Mayor Bowser that was supposed to begin at 11pm. But before that time even came, tear gas and rubber bullets were deployed on the crowd, including myself, and the police moved in on us,” he stated.

Reopening continued from page 1 “people are really understanding right now. They want to get back out, they want to support us, and we appreciate that.”

A few doors down, Black Hoof Brewing has adapted by opening up a beer garden in a parking lot behind the building. Tasting room manager Mike Cales said opening went well.

“We had some issues, a few hoops we had to jump through, but the local government was amazing about it,” Cales said.

“The ABC made it really quick and fast. It’s been good so far.” And, he said, “people are coming out.”

Local governments have also begun to step in, loosening their own rules to help the service industry open back up. The Leesburg Town Council last week voted to allow restaurants to apply for a free permit to temporarily expand their outdoor dining into sidewalks and parking lots, increasing the number of customers they would be able to serve. But space can be tight.

Nils Schnibbe, who has restaurants in Leesburg and Round Hill, said his restaurants in Leesburg were not able to take advantage of the extra outdoor seating allowances passed by the Town Council because of the need for distancing and a cap at 50 percent of restaurants’ outdoor capacity.

“Unfortunately, we can’t even get close to the 50 percent, but we have to work with what we got,” he said. “We are just very
