Loudoun Cleared for Phase 2

BY RENSS GREENE

rgreene@loudounnow.com

“People tell us that it’s because the blacks are violent, it’s because the blacks live in ghettos, and that they keep becoming drug addicts, drug lords and just criminals,” Akinotcho told the protesters on Saturday.

“We’re meant to be criminals, they say, but we’re not meant to be criminals. Nobody is born violent, no one is born racist and no one is born to die.”

Loudoun and the rest of Northern Virginia will enter the second phase of Gov. Ralph Northam’s reopening plans on Friday, he confirmed at a press conference Tuesday.

The news came as Loudoun saw its longest stretch with no deaths from the virus since the pandemic began.

Northam’s announcement means another loosening of physical distancing and stay-at-home guidelines from the state as doctors and public health workers continue working to curb the COVID-19 pandemic.

While vulnerable populations in particular are still encouraged to stay at home, the cap on social gatherings will be lifted from 10 people to 50, and restaurants can begin letting guests inside again. Face coverings are still required in indoor public spaces.

In the current first phase of reopening, customers at restaurants, wineries and breweries are only allowed outside, and only allowed with 6 feet of separation and at half the normal capacity.

Starting Friday, those businesses can let customers inside at up to half their normal capacity, with a minimum of 6 feet of distancing between parties. Congregating areas such as bar seating must be closed, as must game areas, dance floors and play-

Twice in a week, hundreds of protesters gathered in downtown Leesburg to repeat the cry that “Black Lives Matter.”

Thousands Rally for Black Lives LOUDOUN NOW STAFF REPORT

Thousands of people have gone to protests, vigils and demonstrations across Loudoun over the past week as outcry over racism and police violence has continued across the nation.

They came to quiet vigils and fervent protests alike from Round Hill to Sterling.

They chanted the names of George Floyd, who was killed by a Minneapolis Police officer kneeling on his neck while he lay handcuffed on the ground, and Breonna Taylor,

a woman who was killed in her own home by plainclothes police officers in Louisville, KY, serving a no-knock warrant in a case where the main suspect had already been arrested earlier in the day.

And those events have been organized by a range of people, from the NAACP, to a high school coach and teacher, to a high school student who organized perhaps the largest demonstration in Loudoun yet— Ocean Akinotcho, who organized and led a protest at Algonkian Regional Park that brought out thousands of people.

Randall Renews Push to Remove Confederate Statue

BY RENSS GREENE rgreene@loudounnow.com

Loudoun County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) on July 7 will start wheels turning on a push remove a statue of a Confederate soldier that stands in front of the old courthouse in Leesburg.

Until this year, despite fervent debate around the war memorial and despite the fact that it stands on county-owned property, the local government had no authority to remove it. But this year, the General Assembly changed that with a new law that goes into effect July 1. Randall announced in a Facebook post on Saturday that she intends to begin the process to have the monument taken down during the first meeting of the local board after that date.

“Until then, no person should attempt to remove, deface or alter that statue in any manner,” Randall wrote. “To do so could result in legal charges. If that Statue is to be removed, it will be done lawfully.”

It is not the first time she has argued publicly against the statue. In 2017, Randall pushed her colleagues on the previous board to formally support local authority to move war monuments, a vote she lost.

Then in 2020, the newly elected Board of Supervisors took it up again, this time supporting that change.

“These are hard feelings to put into words,” Randall said. “I think, if I had to point to one feeling, I think it’s betrayal, because the issue of the Confederacy

was [mediated] and fought, and they lost.

And we can say that the Confederacy was about the things besides slavery, the Civil War, but it was primarily about slavery.

And when people say it was about states’ rights, well, it was about the right of some states to own slaves. When people say it was about property rights, it was because slaves were property.”

Even before taking office, Randall pushed for the removal of the statue in public forums and letters to local newspapers since at least 2006.

“It feels like all the things that we are, that make us patriotic Americans, that we

talk about—the national anthem, and the flag, and all those things—doesn’t quite apply to me in the same way that its applies to somebody else, and in that is a betrayal,” Randall said.

The process for removing the statue, if it moves ahead, will follow one similar to many land use decisions the Board of Supervisors makes. The county government must first publish notices in a local newspaper, then at least 30 days later hold a public hearing. After that, supervisors may hold a vote on whether to remove it—typically, in Loudoun, votes are taken at the next meeting after the public hear-

ing, although in uncontroversial cases they often suspend their normal rules of order and vote immediately.

In the case of removing war monuments, the county must then offer the monument for relocation to any museum, historical society, government or military battlefield, although supervisors will make the final decision on where it goes.

Randall said “all history should be remembered—Not all history should be honored.”

“It is a statue that is a symbol of oppression, and bondage, and hate, and a whole war fought to keep people oppressed and in bondage and pinned down,” Randall said. “And when people say, ‘well why don’t we just put it in context,’ my response is also a WWII analogy. And I say imagine if there was a statue of Anne Frank, and somebody came and put a statue of Josef Mengele next to a statue of Anne Frank because they wanted to put the statue of Anne Frank in some kind of context.

The world would be rightly outraged. So the idea that we would put as statue of somebody who had been enslaved beside somebody who had tried to keep them enslaved, would be inappropriate.”

Before localities had the authority to move the monument, the previous Board of Supervisors had moved toward such a contextualization, ordering a report on the history of the courthouse, contemplating naming the old courthouse after a pioneering civil rights attorney, and planning a new “Path to Freedom” exhibit at the new courthouse planned in Leesburg. n

Hillsboro-Area Business Owners Frustrated with Rt. 9 Closure

BY PATRICK SZABO

pszabo@loudounnow.com

First planned to close in the second half of 2020, Rt. 9 through Hillsboro earlier this year was closed months ahead of schedule. Now, town leaders say the highway could be closed until August— an announcement that has concerned, frustrated and angered some area business owners who say their livelihoods are at stake.

The town’s $14.33 million Rt. 9 traffic calming project—which is installing roundabouts on each end of town, burying utility lines and constructing sidewalks—began in early March and was originally planned to keep the highway open through town open until late sum-

mer or early fall. Town leaders previously asserted that partial and full road closures would happen only then, and occur periodically through May 2021.

But just a month into the project, on March 31, the town’s water main broke, which forced a closure of the highway through town for repairs from May 4 until mid- to late-June. Just two weeks ago, town leaders indicated the full closure might remain in place until mid-August to help speed work while many of the region’s commuters remain off the roads. Now, area business owners are speaking out, criticizing project leaders for seemingly changing plans on a whim, being unresponsive to concerns that an extended closure could kill their businesses, and neglecting to announce such

decisions in a more transparent way.

Steve Bozzo, the proprietor of Bozzo Family Vineyards, said that, while the town’s initial plans to close the highway through town for up to 60 nonconsecutive days was “painful” but “not overwhelming,” the current closure and potential extension is devastating his business.

He said he originally expected a 30-percent loss in revenue from road closures, but now is seeing a 50-percent reduction caused by a combination of the now-five-week full closure and the coronavirus crisis.

Town leaders previously said keeping RT. 9 CLOSURE continues on page 14

Rt. 9 through the Town of Hillsboro has been entirely closed since May 4 to accommodate work on the town’s traffic calming project and could remain closed until mid-August, which is frustrating many area business owners.

Supervisors Pass Affordable Housing Rules; Hold Off on Second Transition Housing Increase

BY RENSS GREENE

rgreene@loudounnow.com

County supervisors have passed a package of rules aimed at increasing the stock of affordable homes and price-controlled Affordable Dwelling Units in Loudoun.

They also decided, for now, not to increase the number of homes that can be built in the county’s Transition Policy Area as part of those affordable housing rules.

Although they launched an Unmet Housing Needs Strategic Plan in 2019 after finishing the new comprehensive plan, the new zoning rules passed June 2 were part of a project that had been underway since 2017.

The new changes to zoning ordinance also come as another project to rewrite the county’s entire zoning ordinance is underway, expected to wrap up at the end of 2021.

Among the new rules, the minimum size of developments that are required to contribute to the ADU program was decreased; an exemption for structures with at least four stories and an elevator was clarified, with county staff members looking into the possibility of deleting it altogether; a rule allowing developers to build bonus units over normal zoning even if they make a cash-in-lieu payment instead of building ADUs was deleted; cash-inlieu payments were adjusted up from onethird of the cost of building an ADU to 100 percent of that cost; and accessory dwelling such as mother-in-law cottages are now allowed in more residential areas.

Supervisors however did not pass a proposal that would have allowed a density increase in the number of houses developers could build in large areas of the Transition Policy Area.

It would have allowed developers to build as much as 30 percent more units that zoning law would normally permit, provided an equivalent percentage of those additional units were put into the Affordable Dwelling Unit program. According to county staff, that had the potential to allow up to 300 more units in the Transition Policy Area, which has long

Supervisor Michael R. Turner, chair of the county Transportation and Land Use Committee.

served as a buffer between development the county’s suburban and rural zones.

That would include up to 120 ADUs. It would also have marked the second time in months that supervisors increased the allowable development density in that area, with the new comprehensive plan adopted last year increasing the maximum number of allowable units in the Transition Policy Area by 2,180.

The proposal had drawn objections not only from some county supervisors, but also the mayors of Loudoun’s seven incorporated 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 a letter to supervisors from the Coalition of Loudoun Towns, signed by all seven 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.

The letter points out that supervisors, after wrapping up work on a new county comprehensive plan last year, launched

JUNE 11, 2020

work on an Unmet Housing Needs Strategic Plan to figure out how to address problems with housing cost and availability in Loudoun.

“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 waiver 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, which buffers rural west from suburban east, was one of the hottest points of contention during work on the new comprehensive plan.

Supervisors continued that debate during their meeting Tuesday.

“I was persuaded that what this will come down to is a way between affordable housing and building in the Transition Policy Area,” said Supervisor Michael R. Turner (D-Ashburn), who moved to delete the bonus density rule. “We will have to have that discussion, but a more informed discussion will take place after the housing study is complete.”

Third-term Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) said the current planning for the Transition Policy Area is already a compromise, and one “that left a lot of people unhappy.”

“So, the idea of adding now—just a few months after we’ve adopted it—more density to that for any reason, is an absolute nonstarter for me,” Letourneau said.

He also said it could exacerbate traffic problems in southeastern Loudoun: “I’m telling you right now, unless you guys are going to give me a couple billion dollars— AFFORDABLE HOUSING continues on page 6

Keirce Joins County Heritage Commission Former Planning Commission chairman Cliff Keirce has been appointed to the Heritage Commission.

Keirce has represented the Broad Run District on the Planning Commission twice: from 2009 to 2010, and again during the past Board of Supervisors’ term from 2015 through 2019. During the previous term, he took over as chairman of the Planning Commission as previous chairman and current commissioner Jeff Salmon (Dulles) chaired the committee overseeing the first phase of writing a new comprehensive plan, the Envision Loudoun stakeholders committee. He oversaw the Planning Commission’s work on the new plan.

Supervisor Sylvia Russell Glass (D-Broad Run) appointed Keirce to serve the county once again, this time on the Heritage Commission.

“I am interested in preserving Loudoun’s history by helping ensure that resources and structures are protected rather than disturbed or destroyed,” Keirce wrote in his application. “I believe this is a particular problem in eastern Loudoun where there are fewer assets to protect and seemingly less of a concern to protect them.”

He also serves on the Board of Equalization and the Broadlands Homeowners Association board, and has previously served on the Loudoun County Government Reform Commission, the Loudoun County Facilities Standards Manual Public Review Committee member, Loudoun Library Foundation board. He is a Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controller.

The Heritage Commission advises the Board of Supervisors on issues around heritage and historical resources in Loudoun and the Countywide Heritage Preservation Plan, and encourages the identification, documentation and preservation of Loudoun’s natural and cultural heritage.

Bus Fare Waivers Extended to September Supervisors have voted to extend the waiver on bus fares until September.

School Board, Supervisors Pass Ceremonial Resolutions on Pride Month, Gun Violence LOUDOUN NOW STAFF REPORT

The School Board and Board of Supervisors have passed resolutions recognizing June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month, and June 5 as National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Supervisors were divided over their board’s vote.

“The other day when we talked about Virginia passing historic gun safety regulations and giving us the right as a county to take action on many of these, and so I think it’s fitting that on the heels of this that we pass this proclamation,” said Supervisor Juli E. Briskman (D-Algonkian), referring back to her comments on May 22 when supervisors launched a review of local authority over gun laws. “It’s way overdue, and like I said earlier, it tells the community that we think that action is needed rather than thoughts and prayers.”

“One of the things that this resolution states very clearly and exactly is that it encourages responsible gun ownership, so I don’t see the argument here that anyone is going to try to take away law-abiding citizens’ guns,” said Supervisor Kristen C. Umstattd (D-Leesburg). “The resolution itself encourages responsible gun ownership, and I am happy to support it.”

But Republican supervisors at the meeting opposed both, and for the same stated reasons each time. Supervisor Caleb A. Kershner (R-Catoctin) referred to a passage in the supervisors’ own Rules of Order, approved unanimously at their first meeting in January, that “due to the nature and purpose of Board Resolutions, they should not be controversial and it is preferable that all resolutions be approved by a unanimous vote from the Dais.”

“I don’t believe the board did any similar resolutions to this prior to this board that were highly controversial,” Kerhsner said. “I certainly could bring forth many resolutions that many of my colleagues would not agree with, but I would not do it, because I believe they would be highly controversial.”

And Supervisor Matthew F. Letourneau (R-Dulles) held fast to a stance he has stuck by during his time as a supervisor. He acknowledged the board must sometimes hold votes on topics of controversy in the community, “but nonbinding resolutions are a different matter, and they have always at least until now been treated as such on the board.”

“I will remain consistent with my longstanding position on board resolutions, and be abstaining on both resolutions …

this evening,” Letourneau said. “This is not a reflection on my concerns about gun violence—and all violence for that matter, but particularly gun violence tonight—or my support for nondiscrimination policies that ensure equal opportunities for citizens and employees regardless of sexual orientation.”

Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) acknowledged that the gun violence resolution “doesn’t do anything,” and pledged that “within the next year, I’m actually going to find an honest-to-goodness way to address gun suicide.” She added “if next year I do not do anything, or I do not do anything that is effective, I won’t support this resolution next year, because a resolution without any action is just really moot.”

On Pride Month, Kershner said “My concern as I mentioned in the last one is what we actually… we’re kind of treating those with a certain sexual orientation in a different way and I think we’ve moved far beyond that as a society.” Then, apparently contradicting himself, “also, the lifestyle is still somewhat controversial, depending on who you talk to—millions of people in America feel differently, thousands of people in Loudoun feel differently.”

Both resolutions passed 6-1-1, with Kershner opposed, Letourneau abstaining, and Supervisor Tony R. Buffington (R-Blue Ridge) absent.

Randall also said she will remove the three Republican supervisors’ signature lines from the resolution, marking perhaps the first time ceremonial resolutions have been presented without the names of some supervisors.

The School Board’s unanimous vote to adopt a resolution supporting National Gun Violence Awareness Day was taken as the board’s May 26 meeting.

The proclamation declares the first Friday in June to be “National Gun Violence Awareness Day in the Loudoun County Public Schools to honor and remember all victims and survivors of gun violence and to declare that we as a country must do more to reduce gun violence.”

During the meeting Tuesday, June 2, the School Board approved a resolution proclaiming the celebration of LGBTQ+ Pride Month in June. The resolution, sponsored by board Chairwoman Brenda Sheridan (Sterling), “urges all to respect and honor our diverse community and celebrate and build a culture of inclusivRESOLUTIONS continues on page 6

and even then we can’t solve the infrastructure problems that we have.”

But County Chairwoman Phyllis J. Randall (D-At Large) said supervisors opposed to another density increase in the Transition Policy Area are not being ‘serious’ about affordable housing.

“If we’re having the same discussions when the housing study comes back, then the message is you’re not really serious about having affordable homes to purchase in the county, which is fine, but let’s just say it and move on,” Randall said.

“I am not convinced after this drill that offering ADUs as a bonus to density is the way to go about building a true affordable housing program,” Turner said. “I think we’re going to have to face the very hard task of saying, we’re are going to have to put some serious county skin in the game in the budget to create a viable affordable housing program, so we’d better be ready for that discussion.”

Supervisors approved the changes on a 8-0-1 vote, with Supervisor Tony R. Buffington (R-Blue Ridge) absent. n

ity and equity, both during Pride Month as well as during the other eleven months of the year.” That resolution passed on a 7-1-1 vote, with John Beatty (Catoctin) opposed and Jeff Morse (Dulles) absent for the vote.

This week, the School Board also unanimously approved a resolution calling for state and federal action on climate change.

The action directs Superintendent Eric Williams to develop recommendations to expand environmental curricular and educational opportunities, support student advocacy, and include student voice in environmental and climate policy and practice discussions; and to report on changes in state and federal policy that support the goal of reducing carbon consumption, along with staff proposals to make best use of those opportunities in facilities and transportation planning. The resolution also requires Williams and the board’s Legislative and Policy Committee to “call on the members of the Virginia General Assembly and the United States Congress to act boldly on climate change and provide a regulatory framework that removes

barriers to progress on climate action and encourages the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy technology.”

Ongoing Debates Gun violence in particular has become a regular topic of debate in Loudoun, as repeated instances of stray bullets hitting yards homes, and even a person over the last Board of Supervisors term eventually resulted, after months of controversy, in a slight modification to local gun safety ordinances.

The Board of Supervisors has waded increasingly into hot-button issues in state and national politics since the 2019 elections. After her reelection in November 2019, Randall said that the board would begin taking stances on more debates in the General Assembly, and before this year’s General Assembly session Democratic supervisors passed a resolution supporting the Equal Rights Amendment prohibiting discrimination on the basis of gender along party lines.

It is also not the first attempt at some of those resolutions for the Board of Supervisors.

In 2016, her first year on the board, Randall sought to bring forward a resolution recognizing Gun Violence Aware-

JUNE 11, 2020

ness Day. That sparked controversy in the boardroom, with people packing into the boardroom the day of the vote to argue both for and against the resolution.

Ultimately, Republican supervisors, then the majority on the board, killed the resolution with a parliamentary procedure allowing them to table it indefinitely without any discussion.

That same year, an attempt to pass a resolution recognizing Pride Month led instead to the board changing its rules to take sole authority over putting resolutions on the board’s agenda away from Randall. For the rest of that term, she shared veto authority over ceremonial resolutions with then-Vice Chairman Ralph M. Buona (R-Ashburn), a safeguard that was rolled back with the new board.

Supervisors at that time also adopted instead the first—and so far last—”Love Loudoun Month.” Coming in the wake of the mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL, the resolution reads said Loudoun County “stands in solidarity with the victims of the Orlando, Florida terrorist attack,” but that “Loudoun County’s diversity is so rich we could honor a different group of extraordinary citizens every day.” n

ON THE Agenda continued from page 4

Supervisors first voted to waive bus fares, among other transit changes, at an emergency meeting on March 25 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Their vote June 2 will allow County Administrator Tim Hemstreet to extend that waiver until Sept. 1, at his discretion.

Supervisors also agreed to let Hemstreet negotiate a change in contracts to pay employees administrative leave while they are furloughed due to cutbacks in transit routes. Commuter Service has been stopped entirely, while Metro Connection Service has been reduced and local routes adjusted. Where the daily average number of riders on local service was around 1,100 to 1,500, today there are around 550-650 a day. On Metro Connection service, ridership has been reduced from 1,650-2,000 riders a day to only 45-50.

Loudoun will also receive a $10.2 million credit toward its Metro costs from the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, thanks to funding from the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security or CARES Act. Loudoun’s own transit agency is not eligible for CARES Act transit funding.

$25M TIGER Grant Finalized The county government has signed off on the terms of a $25 million federal grant to extend Northstar Boulevard from Rt. 50 to Shreveport Drive.

Loudoun in 2018 was the first locality to win a competitive Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery or TIGER grant, winning the maximum amount available. Completing the 1.6mile section of Northstar Boulevard will create another north-south connector between some of the county’s major thoroughfares. Northstar and Belmont Ridge Road together will form a connection between Rt. 50 and Rt. 7 with ramps onto the Dulles Greenway.

The project is budgeted to cost $90 million, which will also include $9.6 million in state funding, $6.5 million in local funding, and $48.9 million from the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority.

Supervisors authorized County Administrator Tim Hemstreet to sign the final terms of the grant on July 2.

At the same meeting, supervisors voted to use condemnation and “quick-take” procedures to take land from three properties for the project.

Council Considers CARES Funding Options; Biz, Nonprofit Support Likely

BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ

krodriguez@loudounnow.com

Leesburg’s business and nonprofit community look to be the beneficiaries of the town’s federal stimulus money.

As part of the CARES Act federal stimulus legislation, the town is expected to receive $4.7 million from Loudoun County. Monday night, during their first work session in almost three months, council members considered how best to allocate that funding.

The town staff has proposed a threeprong plan that would dedicate $3 million of that funding to town businesses, by way of $5,000 grants to 600 eligible businesses; $1 million to nonprofits that demonstrate a measurable positive impact to the Leesburg community and focus on helping community members who have been financially or medically impacted by the

COVID-19 pandemic; and $797,000 to support ongoing town operations related to the pandemic. On the latter point, these funds would cover the purchase of personal protective equipment for town employees; building modifications to adhere to social distancing; reimbursements for enhanced technology the town government has had to purchase for teleworking and virtual meetings; and marketing programs to support town businesses.

The funding could also be used to support outdoor dining, and council members asked whether money could be used to support a closure of the block of King Street between Loudoun and Market streets during First Friday, such as for the popular Stroll the Street event. Each street closure costs the town around $1,910 for staffing.

It was the funding for small businesses that took up the largest part of the debate

Campbell

Monday night. Deputy Town Manager Keith Markel presented the town staff ’s recommended criteria, which would limit eligible businesses to those with gross annual earnings between $50,000 and $1 million; that have between 0 and 50 employees, to include sole proprietorships; that show a 35-percent or greater decline in sales; and that are in good standing with the town as of March 1.

Markel said of the 2,300 businesses in town, staff members estimate about 1,100 of those fall within the recommended range for gross annual earnings. As businesses would need to fill out an application to be considered for the funding, priority would be given to those who did not already receive similar grants from the county government. If more than 600 businesses apply for funding, a random drawing would be held.

Several council members questioned

Dunn

whether the bar town staff set for qualifying gross annual earnings should be lowered for businesses with earnings below $50,000. Councilman Tom Dunn also pointed out that $5,000 is likely to have a bigger impact on a business with earnings closer to $50,000 than $1 million.

Some on the council urged staff to be a more creative in the recommended eligibility structure for businesses.

“Try to think a little outside of the box,” said Vice Mayor Marty Martinez.

The council was expected to vote to accept the CARES funding from the county at its Tuesday meeting. Funding could be awarded to qualifying businesses and nonprofits as early as July, with an application process likely opening up later this month. Markel said the staff could fine tune its recommendations to suit the council’s wishes on business eligibility for funding. n

November Council Ballot is Set; Campbell Renews Challenge for Mayors

BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ krodriguez@loudounnow.com

Seven candidates will vie for four seats on the Leesburg Town Council in November, with the filing deadline expiring Tuesday.

Mayor Kelly Burk, in her bid for a third two-year mayoral term, will face a familiar challenge. Councilman Ron Campbell, whose own council term is up at year’s end, officially qualified for the mayoral ballot just before the deadline. Campbell challenged Burk two years ago, but finished third in a three-way race that also included Councilman Tom Dunn.

On the Town Council ballot, Dunn is

the only incumbent running for another four-year term. If successful, it would be his fourth victory since having joined the council in 2008. He has also run for mayor three times, twice against former mayor and current Leesburg District Supervisor Kristen Umstattd and two years ago against Burk.

Challengers include first-time candidates Zach Cummings, Ara Bagdasarian, and Bill Replogle, and second-time candidate Kari Nacy, who ran for the council for the first time in 2018.

Election Day is Nov. 3. Those who are victorious at the polls will take office Jan. 1.

While as many as three new faces could join the council dais in January, there will be a new addition even sooner. At the coun-

cil’s next set of meetings, June 22-23, council members are expected to appoint a new member of the council to fill Josh Thiel’s unexpired council term, which runs through Dec. 31. Thiel resigned from the council in May because of a move outside of town limits, as well as family and work obligations. Applications from town residents interested in filling the seat for the remaining six months of the year are being accepted through June 15.

While the town races are non-partisan, Campbell is also expected to challenge Burk for the Loudoun County Democratic Committee endorsement.

After a controversial meeting last week, Campbell will be afforded that opportunity.

The committee’s bylaws typically require endorsement requests to be turned in 14 days prior to the election’s filing deadline, which this year is June 9. But during a Zoom meeting Thursday night, it was revealed to committee members that as many as three council candidates had not met all the requirements to be considered for endorsement.

The committee voted 54-16 to waive that deadline this year. Dissenting votes included Burk and Leesburg Town Council members Marty Martinez and Neil Steinberg.

The committee is scheduled to make its endorsements June 13. Burk has received LCDC support in both of her previous campaigns. n

Deadline for Westpark Decision Pushed Back to September

BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ krodriguez@loudounnow.com

Leesburg Town Council members look to have a bit longer to contemplate the merits of acquiring the former Westpark Golf Club property, and an even longer time to pony up the money should they move forward.

According to a memo in the council’s June 8-9 meeting agenda packet, the study period for purchasing the property has been extended to Sept. 15. Chuck Kuhn, CEO of JK Moving Services, is the contract purchaser on the property and has reached out to the Town Council about purchasing the majority of the land from him, save for the eight acres zoned for commercial use, for a price tag of $3.4 million. The 130 acres-plus that Leesburg has the option to buy from Kuhn would be placed under a conservation easement and could be maintained by the town as open space or a park.

Originally, the Town Council had a deadline of July 1 to agree to a purchase, but those additional two-and-a-half

months give council members more time to ponder the property’s potential and whether the town has the financial means to purchase and maintain it. According to a June 3 email shared with the council, Kuhn also expressed a willingness to delay closing on the transaction with Leesburg until late 2021, after the conservation easement process is complete.

While some both on and off the dais have considered operating the property as a municipally run golf course, Kuhn made clear in his email that such a use would not be “consistent with preserving these conservation values.” As to how Kuhn would develop the commercial land he would retain, he wrote that he is open to input on that from council members. Currently, the 8 acres of commercial land is zoned for a hotel use.

Some council members and also those running for Town Council seats in November have suggested a public-private partnership for purchase of the property.

In an email to Loudoun Now, Kuhn said such an agreement is not being considered at this time. n

Replogle Announces Leesburg Town Council Run

BY KARA C. RODRIGUEZ

krodriguez@loudounnow.com

A soon-to-be downtown resident has announced his candidacy for the Leesburg Town Council.

Bill Replogle has lived in Leesburg since 1991, when he and his family moved to the Woodlea Manor neighborhood.

Although he has lived outside of town limits, in River Creek, for the Replogle past dozen or so years, this month he will move to North Street.

Replogle said he’s looking forward to living within walking distance to the downtown, and could even walk to Town Council meetings, should his first bid for public office be successful.

He previously served on the town’s Environmental Advisory Commission, and even chaired it for a while. It was there he got to know Mayor Kelly Burk, who, at the

time, was a Town Council member and served as the council’s liaison to the committee in the early 2000s.

“It was a great experience working with Kelly,” he recalled. “[The commissioners] took it from a commission in name only to one that got a lot of things done.”

It was Burk who was pivotal in Replogle throwing his hat in the ring for a council seat.

“I had a lingering desire to get more involved,” he said. “The move to downtown seemed like the right time. And Kelly called me and one thing led to another.”

Replogle’s life’s work is in advertising and as a creative director. He runs a small advertising agency, Fuel House, with local and regional clients. It’s a career that led to him being involved with helping to rebrand Loudoun County in the 1990s, “when the internet was just getting going,” he said.

Throughout his career, he has worked closely with many transportation agencies, including the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, and the Virginia Railway Express. He’s also been involved

with local environmental organizations like Save the Trail and climate change advocacy work.

“I’m kind of green-blooded,” he said with a laugh.

It’s all these efforts, including his time serving on the EAC, that he believes gives him the experience to be an effective council member.

“I could be helpful with my creative thinking and problem solving, with my economic development work looking at how to revitalize the local economy. I’d really like to be helpful in that regard,” he said.

The revitalization of the local economy, as the town and state begin to reopen in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, tops his list of priorities. Replogle also cites local environmental issues as priorities he’d like to address if elected. He points to the potential for the town to acquire the former Westpark Golf Club property as a key example.

“How can we make that happen without being something that puts us in the red,” he said. “We can figure out a good public-private partnership.”

Smart growth is also top of mind for Replogle.

“How do we continue to grow the town and the county in a way that does not take away from the historic charm,” he said. “We need to make sure it’s well thought out and aesthetically pleasing. We have a nice aesthetic downtown now. We need to preserve that.”

Replogle also points to the divisiveness apparent sometimes on the current Town Council and said, while he is a proud Democrat, he’s worked well with colleagues from all political persuasions and would like to bring that same collaborative spirit to the council dais.

Replogle is working on his website, billforleesburg.com, which he expects to be active soon.

He joins four other candidates vying for one of the three council seats on the ballot in November. That list includes incumbent Tom Dunn and fellow challengers Ara Bagdasarian, Kari Nacy, and Zach Cummings.

Burk is the only candidate thus far to file to run for the mayor’s seat.

The filing deadline was June 9. n

Beatty Stripped of Committee Posts; Board Issues Statement on Racism

Education

BY NORMAN K. STYER nstyer@loudounnow.com

Douglas Graham/Loudoun Now

Thomas Bernard walks off the stage after graduating in an empty auditorium at Heritage High School in Leesburg on Tuesday. This year, seniors are being offered five-minute, by-appointment mini-graduation ceremonies because of the coronavirus pandemic.

School’s Out—For Real As students celebrated their “official” last day of classes on Wednesday, hundreds of high school seniors this week began their unique graduation ceremonies.

Those are scheduled to continue through June 24, when the final diploma will be passed out at Potomac Falls High School.

Students haven’t been at school since March 12 when fears about the spread of COVID-19 prompted a rapid switch to distance learning at home.

The changes were particularly challenging for the Class of 2020, with seniors missing out on many rites of passage, from proms to awards ceremonies. While many held out hope to celebrate graduation with their classmates, plans for individual ceremonies were developed in recent weeks.

Each school is offering something different.

Broad Run High School donned their caps and gowns and followed a tour through activity stations at the school, including an opportunity to take photo with Principal David Spage and pose for family photos near the stadium.

At Loudoun Valley High School, 330 graduates lined up over three days to walk the red carpet, pick up their diplomas and listen to Principal Sue Ross read faculty reflections of their Viking journey. n

Following a two-hour closed session last week, School Board Chairwoman Brenda Sheridan (Sterling) announced that she would remove John Beatty (Catoctin) from his seat on the division’s Equity Committee and as chairman of the board’s Discipline Committee.

The action followed weeks of escalating tensions between the board and members of the Equity Committee, Minority Student Achievement Advisory Committee and the Loudoun Chapter of the NAACP who have pressed for sanctions against Beatty.

Beatty came under fire for comments he made in February during an equity training program designed to allow participants to better understand concepts of white privilege and implicit bias—among the elements seen as fueling systematic racism in the school system. During the session, Beatty said formerly enslaved people may have been less well off after their emancipation without having their needs provided by the former slave owners. In the weeks that followed, the Equity Committee and MSAAC formally requested that Beatty be removed from his leadership positions because of the remark.

The School Board remained silent on the issue until two weeks ago, when it forBEATTY continues on page 13

SCHOOL notebook State Rolls Out Reopening Parameters Gov. Ralph Northam on Tuesday announced plans to allow schools to resume in-person classes this summer and a broader return to school in the fall.

The policies allow students with disabilities to resume in-person instruction immediately. A next step will be allowing in-person classes for preschool through third grade students and English learners while also allowing summer camps to be held in school buildings.

Individual school divisions will be required to submit detailed plans for having more students return to the classroom, either during the summer or in the fall.

Superintendent Eric Williams, who has been helping to develop the statewide strategy, next week will present the recommendations for reopening Loudoun schools, following a weeks-long planning exercise conducted with education and community leaders. Until the pandemic allows a return to normal operations, the options range from a continuation of distance learning from home to a shift system with smaller groups of students alternating days when they report to the classroom.

Williams’ “Return to School” presentation is scheduled for 4 p.m. June 16 and can be viewed on the School Board webcast channel.

Akula, Lohr Receive $5K Science Fair Awards Nikhila Akula, a senior at Broad Run High School and the Academy of Engineering and Technology, and her AET science teacher, Suzanne Lohr, are the recipients of the 2020 Willowcroft Science awards.

The Willowcroft Science Award is one of the top honors presented at the Loudoun County Regional Science and Engineering Fair, which was canceled this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Willowcroft Science Award is supported through the Willowcroft Science Endowment Fund, which was established in 1991 by Lewis Parker, the owner of Willowcroft Farm Vineyards.

The student recipient of the Willowcroft Science Award receives a $5,000 scholarship.

Akula was honored for her project, “The Effect of Biofilms on Bacterial Cultures.”

Lohr also was awarded $5,000 in recognition of the support and mentoring she provided to Akula.

Beatty continued from page 11 mally voted to not consider the sanction request. That action came through a seldom used procedural mechanism that allowed the board to drop the issue without discussion. At the time, only Sheridan, who also chairs the Equity Committee, opposed that action.

During last week’s board meeting, Vice Chairwoman Atoosa Reaser (Algonkian) and Harris Mahedavi (Ashburn) apologized for supporting the move to avoid discussion of the issue.

During the public comment portion of the June 2 meeting, Loudoun NAACP President Michelle Thomas and other speakers criticized that inaction as a broken trust in the effort to address inequities within the school system. Thomas said because Beatty had refused to retract his statement in subsequent talks with concerned community leaders, he should resign as a School Board member.

And they made no comments following the closed session, except for the statement by Sheridan that she would rescind the Beatty committee appointments she made in January.

On Tuesday, Beatty addressed the issue for the first time in public.

“I think we can all agree that it is awful when people say mean-spirited and untrue things; it is even worse when they say it about you,” he said. “I’ve been under attack since February by activists unconcerned with the truth and only looking to score political points. I took this seriously and met individually with my accusers.

Yet they continued in their blind partisanship, doubling down in their attacks against me. Do we want to further tear apart our collective dialogue by allowing baseless lies to poison our community? Like a game of telephone this lie has become distorted with each passing day, warped to represent the worst. Each accusation carries the flimsiest logic and is riddled with bad-faith assumptions. The Board knew the truth and they supported me. They were able to look beyond simple, ugly partisanship.”

Beatty said the attacks against him were harming students.

“So now it is time to my part. I’m going to double down against racism. I am going to double down that I abhor slavery and its ugly legacy. It is time to stop and reset.

This acrimony and negativity is hurting our children who are our ultimate responsibility. We need to work to provide the best education for every child regardless

ALWAYS ONLINE AT LOUDOUNNOW.COM of their skin color,” he said. “A good beginning would be to provide extra tutoring opportunities for standardized tests and entrance examinations at no cost to the student so that all of our students have the opportunity to reach their full potential.

“As for the people who started and spread these lies, I just want you to know that I forgive you and I pray for you each and every day,” Beatty said.

Also, on Tuesday, the School Board released a statement reiterating “there is no room for racism or hatred in Loudoun County Public Schools.”

“The recent vigils, protests, and civil activism in the wake of the tragic death

of George Floyd and other African Americans has highlighted the persistence of systemic racism in the United States.

Loudoun County is not immune from the effects of this historic problem, and the desire to make positive change is evident in the significant number of citizens in our own county who have attended peaceful demonstrations and marches throughout the community in recent days,” the statement reads.

“The Loudoun County School Board is committed to working with the school administration to create a safe, empathetic, respectful, and supportive learning environment for every student. Each young

PAGE 13 person who comes to our schools deserves access to equitable opportunities to maximize their learning potential and receive the social and emotional support they need to grow, unencumbered by bias, or disadvantaged by preconceived notions.

We will advance our progress by examining our own biases, engaging in the difficult conversations that need to occur, and working with the Equity Committee, the Minority Student Achievement Advisory Committee, the Special Education Advisory Committee, the NAACP, and other members of our community to address these needs,” board members wrote. n

FIRE SAFETY

BARNS & COOPS The Loudoun County Combined Fire and Rescue System wants to keep you and your farm family safe! Use this fire safety checklist to prevent a fire in your barn, coop, shed or enclosure.

Keep heat producing appliances, like heat lamps, at least three feet away from anything that can burn.

Secure heat lamps as if they were a permanent fixture: clamps and clips can fail.

Ensure children or animals cannot accidently move or tip over heating appliances.

Brush cobwebs and dust from light fixtures and outlets regularly.

Choose electrical equipment rated for agricultural or commercial use. Read and follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully before use.

Choose outlets and switch boxes designed to keep out dust and water.

It is not recommended to use extension cords in barn areas. If you must, use only heavy duty cords and check all wiring for damage.

Store baled hay AWAY from livestock. Hay/bedding storage should not be near lights, fans, electrical boxes, heaters or outlets.

For additional fire and life safety information, visit loudoun.gov/firemarshal or call 703.737.8600.

$1 million

In April and May 2020, Loudoun County experienced a significant amount of barn and chicken coop fires caused by heat lamps located too close to combustible materials. These fires have resulted in over one million dollars of damages and the loss of beloved pets.

Rt. 9 closure continued from page 3 the highway closed until mid-August would allow a reopening for the ever-important fall season, but Bozzo said the spring and summer periods are just as important.

Vice Mayor Amy Marasco, who serves as the deputy project manager, said that because business owners emphasized early in the project that the fall season was so vital, the town built a schedule to accommodate an open, or partially open, road in the fall.

“That was their number one requirement,” she said.

But Bozzo said the town misconstrued what one winery owner said during an input meeting a few months back. “Fall is a great time, but doesn’t make up for the rest of the year,” he said.

Bozzo also emphasized that if the road is closed until August—an action he vehemently opposes—there can be no more full closures for the remainder of the project’s timeline.

Marasco said that if VDOT accepts the town’s request to keep Rt. 9 through town closed until mid-August, the town will direct the contractor to not fully close the highway again for the rest of 2020. There would still be some full closures in 2021, though, just not “really long ones,” Marasco said.

“We’re trying to help the businesses,” she said.

Hillsborough Vineyards Master Brewer Tolga Baki said the reason business owners’

Reopening continued from page 1 grounds. Reusable menus are not permitted; instead restaurants must give customers single-use menus and dispose of them afterward. And signs at restaurant entrances will be required stating that no one with a fever or symptoms of COVID-19, or known exposure to a COVID-19 case in the prior 14 days, is permitted inside.

Other businesses, such as retail shops and hair salons, must meet similar guidelines for interior occupancy and social distancing.

Gyms and exercise facilities, too, will reopen for the first time in months, although at even lower capacities. Gyms can bring in no more than 30 percent of their normal occupancy load, with a minimum of 10 feet of separation.

Pools may reopen. Hot tubs, spas, saunas, splash pads, spray pools, and interactive play features must be closed. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools are open for lap swimming, diving, exercise, and in-

concerns right now are so important is because once winter rolls around, they will all basically shut down until spring and have to rely on revenue they generate before that point. He said if he doesn’t build up his coffers by then, “we’re in a hell of a lot of trouble come wintertime.”

Notaviva Craft Fermentations co-founder Shannon Mackey said because the town continues to change the closure schedule, business owners are unable to plan for the future. Mackey said she and her husband and Notaviva co-owner, Stephen, have had to get day jobs to supplement their income.

Breaux Vineyards General Manager Jennifer Breaux said the changing plans are especially a problem for her because her winery is operating entirely via reservations right now. To depict the current state of her winery’s finances, Breaux said it’s like being accustomed to making $100 each weekend and now making only a dollar. “That’s kind of where we are right now,” she said.

Breaux said although a full closure through mid-August could turn out to be better for area businesses than if there were to be more full closures later on, there are no guarantees “and it’s frustrating.”

“We’re in this for about 11 more months and just need to get through it with as little impact as possible,” she said.

Hillsborough Vineyards Winemaker Karem Baki said town leaders are “obviously not taking consideration of the business voices.” “We fear that they are genuinely not listening to us,” he said.

But Mayor Roger Vance, the road project manager, said “nothing could be farther

from the truth,” noting that the town has spent about $20,000 to help promote area businesses. The town spent $10,000, along with another $20,000 split between Visit Loudoun and Loudoun County Economic Development, on a business promotion campaign before both the pandemic began and the water main broke. The town also spent another $10,000 to install 35 wayfinding signs along the detour route and to promote businesses on the project website, ReThink9.com.

Marasco pointed out it was also the town that requested VDOT keep the highway through town partially open on weekends. Although plans have changed and the highway through town is now closed entirely all days and times of the week, Marasco said business owners should support the town in its negotiations with VDOT to extend the closure to August—since that would mean the highway would be open later in the year once Gov. Ralph Northam allows the Northern Virginia region to fully reopen from coronavirus restrictions.

“They should see the tradeoff is huge for them,” Marasco said, noting that the town will need to reach an agreement with VDOT before its permit to keep the highway closed expires on June 26.

But not all area businesses are voicing the same concerns, because they aren’t experiencing the same types of problems.

Ronda Powell, the co-owner of Old 690 Brewing Co. and Harpers Ferry Brewing, said she hasn’t seen any issues from the full Rt. 9 closure through Hillsboro. She said she can’t quantify how much business she

has lost because the closure is happening simultaneously with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“I can’t see where the road project has had any effect on [business]—COVID-19 has had an effect on it,” she said.

Powell said she would prefer to see the highway through town remain closed until mid-August so that the project wraps up sooner and so her patrons don’t get confused by multiple closures and openings.

But some area business owners are also concerned about the way town leaders are disseminating project information after reading about the possible closure extension in the newspaper. Moreover, Bozzo said business owners aren’t getting “straight information” and that there is “no transparency” from the town. He claimed the town used the water main break as an excuse to close the highway sooner than later.

“They just did it and now this is a pattern,” he said. “I don’t trust them one iota.”

Mackey said “it’s a constant sit down and shut up and just take it” from the town.

But Marasco said the town notified many business owners during a June 2 meeting of the Rt. 9 Compass group, which is comprised of business owners and residents, about plans to request VDOT to extend the closure. In general, she said she and Vance have “been extraordinarily transparent” and that allegations of a lack in transparency are “unfair criticism.”

“We feel like we are doing an excellent job in an environment that changes daily,” she said. n

struction only.

Loudoun County Chamber of Commerce President Tony Howard said Friday’s reopening “is going to be New Year’s Day and Christmas all wrapped up into one for a lot of folks.”

With the Phase One restrictions preventing many businesses from allowing customers inside, some business owners decided to stay closed—or had no choice, because they do not have outdoor seating. And many former employees at restaurants, wineries, breweries and other venues lost their jobs months ago. Howard said even the limited reopening will be “a huge boon.”

“For a lot of businesses, Phase One didn’t mean a whole heck of a lot,” Howard said.

“It was a start. It’s not going to make the difference that Phase Two will.”

Northern Virginia lags behind most of the state, which entered the second phase of reopening on June 5.

The news comes as Loudoun had its longest stretch with no deaths since the pandemic began, with no new deaths reported since June 1, as of June 9. Although case

counts have continued to climb—with 3,174 cases of COVID-19 reported in Loudoun so far—the death toll, after climbing to 67 people, has held steady for a week.

New cases could jump again in the coming weeks, both as a result of reopening and as a result of massive protests over the past week that have brought hundreds or thousands of people together.

“Any time people come close to each other for periods of time, there’s always that risk of an increase in transmission,” said Loudoun County Health Department Director Dr. David Goodfriend. “There’s usually about a two- or three-week lag time between when that occurs and when we start seeing it in the numbers. The good news is a lot of people were wearing face coverings, but face coverings are not perfect, so, unfortunately, there may be an increase in cases.”

However, he said, it also may not be possible in most cases to distinguish a bump in new cases attributable to protests from one linked to business reopenings.

“In general, if people are just taking advantage of the community being open more

and going to do sports, going to restaurants, going shopping and going to a rally, it would be hard to know where they came in contact,” Goodfriend said.

The state and region are in the process of setting up contact tracing to help track down the origins of outbreaks and track down new infections. Northam said the goal is to hire one contact tracer per 10,000 people; in Loudoun, that will mean about 40 contact tracers. Goodfriend said the first handful, around five or six, have completed their training and begun work in Loudoun; building up their numbers, he said, will be an ongoing project over the summer.

As testing has become more widespread, the percentage of those tests coming back positive for the virus has continued to decrease even as case counts have increased.

As of June 6, the last day for which that data was available, the state reported an average of 11.1 percent of tests coming back positive for the virus over the previous seven days. n

LOADED WITH CAPABILITIES!

Anderson’s Half-Century of Service Remembered Loudoun’s public safety community this week is paying tribute to J.B. Anderson II who served for more than 50 years as a member of the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company, as a Loudoun County fire marshal and educator. He died May 30 after a five-year battle with colon cancer.

Anderson, 72, was a Leesburg native who grew up around the fire service, as his grandfather served with the LVFC and as a county dispatcher. After graduation from Loudoun County High School in 1966, he served in the U.S. Air Force, as a nuclear weapons specialist with the 509th Bomb Wing of the 8th Air Force during the Vietnam War. He held various roles in the fire company, including captain, assistant chief and Chief, along with vice president and board member. He served as the company parliamentarian on and off for over 40 years and was a company photographer, taking thousands of photos and videos of volunteer operations. He also served as a county fire marshal and public safety education officer.

Absentee Votes Nearly Double In-Person Turnout in Town Elections

BY PATRICK SZABO

pszabo@loudounnow.com

The June 4 town elections in Lovettsville, Middleburg and Purcellville saw more absentee ballots cast than in any of Loudoun’s past municipal elections, and three incumbent mayors re-elected to their posts.

With the COVID-19 pandemic leading to state-mandated closures and a requirement to wear masks indoors, the Loudoun County Office of Elections and Voter Registration urged absentee voting in Thursday’s elections. That encouragement meant 1,740 absentee ballots were submitted by mail while just 983 voters headed to the polls to cast ballots, either inside after waiting in socially distanced lines or from the climate-controlled comfort of their cars.

In all, 2,723 votes were cast. In 2018, a total of 2,615 voters cast ballots across those three towns, only 96 of which were absentee ballots.

Now, the 13 candidates who won spots on their respective Town Councils are preparing to guide their towns into Fiscal Year 2021 and the next few years.

Lovettsville In Lovettsville, incumbent Mayor Nate Fontaine was re-elected to serve a second two-year term with 453 votes in an unopposed election.

Serving alongside Fontaine will be Joy Pritz, who received the most votes out of the five council candidates with 298; incumbent Councilman Buchanan Smith received 294 votes; and David Earl got 272 votes. All three were part of a candidate slate and, beginning July 1, will serve their first full four-year terms on the Town Council.

Missing out on seats this time around were incumbent Councilman Mike Dunlap, who received 235 votes; Sheryl Frye, who received 227 votes; and Ken Tannenbaum, who got 195.

In all, voter turnout in Lovettsville was 15.77 percent.

Pritz, who was elected to town office for a first time, said her goal come July 1 is to learn as much as she can and help to move along projects the current Town Council initiated, including a business support package amid the current pandemic. She

TOWN notes HAMILTON Circuit Court Clerk Swears in 4 New Council Members Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary Clemens Monday night swore in newly elected Hamilton Town Council members Greg Wilmoth, Elizabeth Gaucher and incumbent Council members Ken Wine and Catherine Salter.

The ceremony was done in-person, unlike the Town of Round Hill’s ceremony last week, which Clemens conducted virtually over GoToMeeting—making it the first Loudoun town to host a virtual oath of office ceremony.

said she’s also focused on ensuring water tower maintenance is complete by Labor Day. Dunlap said he felt low voter turnout and his absence from town for about a month midway through the campaign affected his chances for election.

“That’s a lot of ground that you’re just not able to go out there and connect with folks,” he said about the Navy orders he was called out on from mid-March to April 8.

Dunlap said he hopes the new Town Council continues to move existing projects forward, especially South Loudoun streetscape improvements.

Middleburg In Middleburg, incumbent Mayor Bridge Littleton was re-elected to serve a second two-year term with 113 votes in an unopposed election.

On the Town Council, incumbent Councilmen Chris Bernard, Kevin Daly and Philip Miller will serve out four-year terms after being elected with 101, 97 and 94 votes, respectively, in an unopposed race. Incumbent Councilman Bud Jacobs also won election to serve out the remainder of a council term that expires in June 2022 in a special election with 108 votes.

In all, voter turnout in Middleburg was 9.82 percent.

Littleton said he’s focused on ensuring the Town Council remains “vibrant” and “resilient” to meet the needs of residents and businesses. He said the council is currently focused on helping those residents and businesses exit the coronavirus crisis as unscathed as possible. “Right now, that’s what we’re really, really focused on,” he said.

In the long-term, Littleton said he and the Town Council would be focused on the “assault on western Loudoun,” as some developers and county leaders push to increase density in the rural west.

“We’ve really got to be ever vigilant, we’ve got to work really hard,” he said.

When asked why elections in Middleburg are so tame and why Town Council members generally get along and vote unanimously on nearly all matters, Littleton said all council members, and candidates, have a shared sense of community and are focused on long-term planning.

“It’s the people … everybody’s got a common goal,” he said. “It’s really just about the town and the people who live here, everything else just melts away.”

Purcellville

The Town of Hillsboro on Monday night held an 8-minute and 46-second candlelight vigil outside the Old Stone School to honor George Floyd the day before his funeral.

The length of time represented the time a Minneapolis Police Department officer knelt on Floyd’s neck on May 25, killing him. Before and after the vigil began, Mayor Roger Vance rung the bell atop the building.

PURCELLVILLE Police Officers Resume Normal Hours Purcellville Police Chief Cynthia McAlister said her officers returned to their regular shifts last Thursday, after more than a month working in a more physically distanced setting.

McAlister said Purcellville Police officers had been working seven days on and seven days off to keep from being around each other too much—a strategy many organizations have implemented to stay socially distanced and protected from the spread of COVID-19. The officers returned to their normal hours June 4.

Round Hill Holds Loudoun’s First-Ever Virtual Oath of Office Ceremony

BY PATRICK SZABO pszabo@loudounnow.com

The Town of Round Hill last week became the first Loudoun town to have its newly elected mayor and Town Council members sworn into office over the internet.

Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary Clemens last Wednesday night swore in Mayor Scott Ramsey and Council Members Mike Hummel and Paula James—all of whom were voted into office in the May 19 town elections—during a Town Council meeting hosted on GoToMeeting, a video conference call platform. Vice Mayor Mary Anne Graham and Councilwoman Melissa Hoffmann were sworn in virtually two days later.

Clemens said the swearing-in was the first to be done virtually in Loudoun’s history and that he was able to do it because he was able to verify the identity of the council members he swore in. Already, Clemens has remotely sworn in a few new sheriff ’s deputies.

Wednesday’s council meeting marked the town’s third virtual assembly. Such electronic meetings have been a point of discussion among governing bodies across the nation in recent months, since the coronavirus crisis has forced them to convene electronically rather than in person.

Although the Virginia Freedom of Information Act normally requires a quorum of members to be physically present in the room for a governing body to conduct business, in a declared state of emergency they can hold meetings electronically. Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring in March opined that if the purpose of a governing body’s meeting is to address a declared state of emergency, including “to make decisions that must be made immediately and where failure to do so could result in irrevocable

public harm,” they can meet electronically.

In April, the Virginia General Assembly passed a law allowing governing bodies to meet electronically during declared emergencies if it is deemed that it’s “impracticable or unsafe … to assemble in a single location and when the purpose of meeting is to discuss or transact the business statutorily required or necessary to continue operations of the public body.” Governing bodies can assemble online as long as they provide notice of the meeting, make arrangements for public access to the meetings and make a recording or transcript of those meetings available to the public.

Beginning July 1, Ramsey, who was voted back into office with 29 votes in the May 19 town elections, will serve a sixth two-year term as mayor. Graham, who received 30 votes, will begin her ninth four-year term on the council. Hummel, who received 26 votes in the election, and Hoffmann, who led write-in ballots with five votes, will serve their first full fouryear terms at the meeting table. James, who received 30 votes in a special election, will serve out the remainder of a term that expires in June 2022.

Following the oath of office ceremony, Clemens mentioned that he grew up in western Loudoun and that he felt Round Hill was a special community. “I appreciate your service to that wonderful town,” he told Ramsey.

Clemens on Monday also swore in newly elected Hamilton Town Council members Greg Wilmoth, Elizabeth Gaucher and incumbent Council members Ken Wine and Catherine Salter. That, however, was done in person.

Clemens was expected to virtually swear in Middleburg Mayor Bridge Littleton and Councilmen Chris Bernard, Kevin Daly, Philip Miller and Bud Jacobs this Thursday, June 11. n

Round Hill Approves $15K Business Relief Program

BY PATRICK SZABO

pszabo@loudounnow.com

Round Hill will use 25 percent of its Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act funding to support its more than two dozen in-town businesses.

The Round Hill Town Council last Wednesday night voted unanimously to distribute $15,000 of the town’s $59,077 CARES Act allocation as grants to the 30 businesses with valid Round Hill business licenses. To do that, the town will place $15,000 in a designated fund and hand that over to Loudoun County Economic Development to distribute to the businesses.

Town Attorney Maureen Gilmore said it would happen that way because of certain Virginia laws restricting towns from distributing money directly to businesses.

Instead of awarding the money to each business in proportion to the amount of commerce they contribute to the town, each brick-and-mortar business will receive $350 and each home-based business will get $200.

All businesses will also receive an additional $100 for each person they employee.

Town Administrator Melissa Hynes is expected to brief the Town Council on her talks with Loudoun Economic Development at the June 17 meeting.

Combined, Round Hill businesses provide the town with about $44,000 annually from business license, meals and cigarette taxes.

The CARES Act, which Congress

passed and President Donald Trump signed into law in late March, set up a $150 billion Coronavirus Relief Fund to assist state, local, territorial and tribal governments. Virginia received $3.1 billion of that amount, 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 within the first few weeks of June.

Round Hill’s share accounts for 0.16-percent of the county’s overall allocation and, like the county’s six other towns, is based on population. Round Hill features 664 residents, according to 2018 estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Under the provisions of the CARES Act, localities must use the funding to cover expenditures incurred between March 1 and Dec. 30 this year. Any funds left unused by Dec. 30 must be returned to the federal government.

The town will use the remaining $44,077 of its CARES Act allocation to pay for costs it will incur while operating amid the pandemic, such as health and safety supplies, setting up teleworking systems, cleaning the town office, paying staff overtime, parks and recreation maintenance, COVID-19-related signage and paying the town attorney for legal review of emergency measures.

Mayor Scott Ramsey said the council could consider approving another round of grants at a later date. n

Election results continued from page 20 Kwasi Fraser was re-elected to serve a fourth two-year term on the dais. Fraser turned back a challenge from former 12year Councilwoman Beverly Chiasson, with 1,149 votes to Chiasson’s 927 votes.

Serving alongside Fraser on the Town Council beginning July 1 will be the three candidates who ran on a slate with him— Mary Jane Williams, who gathered the most votes of the five council candidates at 1,283; Stanley Milan, who received 1,157 votes; and Christopher Bertaut, who got 1,153 votes. All three will serve their first four-year terms on the council.

Erin Rayner and Mary Lynn Hickey, Chiasson’s Town Council running mates, received 1,006 and 950 votes, respectively.

In all, voter turnout in Purcellville was 10.45 percent.

Fraser said he and his slate won the election because they stayed on message, noting that voters saw through the messages his opponent and her two running mates spoke.

“Change without substance is nothing,” he said.

Fraser said he, Bertaut, Milan and Williams will be focused on the slow growth,

low taxes, innovative solutions and infrastructure improvement they promised, and that they will work to get Town Manager David Mekarski on board with those initiatives.

Those include moving forward with an application to sell about 60 acres of nutrient credits on the 189-acre Aberdeen Property, which could yield the town $700,000 to $1 million in revenue, Fraser said; working out an agreement with Dominion Power to lower utility costs at the Basham Simms Wastewater Facility; and dredging the town’s reservoir to increase its storage capacity.

When asked about his idea to partner with Linden, Guyana Mayor Waneka Arrindell and give Purcellville a sister city, Fraser said he had no plans to bring it up again anytime soon and that Guyanese leaders can call him for free advice at any point.

Chiasson said she would stay involved in the town and that because she plans to live in Purcellville “forever and ever,” she didn’t want to make any promises she couldn’t keep—such as promising to not raise utility rates.

She said that although Fraser and his slate opposed such increases, there might not be another option to save the town’s diminishing water and sewer funds. n

The Thomas family, Adrian, Anna, Michelle and Delroy, at a vigil for Fitz Campbell Thomas on Sunday attended by hundreds.

Community Rallies Around Family of Fitz Thomas

BY RENSS GREENE rgreene@loudounnow.com

Hundreds of people gathered around the Thomas family at River Creek near Leesburg on Sunday for a vigil to remember Fitz Campbell Thomas, the 16-year-old who died Thursday evening while swimming at the confluence of Goose Creek and the Potomac River.

He is the son of Michelle and Delroy Thomas and brother to Anna and Adrian. His mother, in particular, is well known in the community—she is a pastor, founder of the Loudoun Freedom Center, and president of the Loudoun NAACP, among other roles. The vigil to remember Fitz brought out elected officials, other community organizers, and around 300 mourners.

And Fitz was remembered and celebrated for how he cared for his family and community, too.

“Anybody who knows me and knows Fitz, we was like oil and water,” Michelle Thomas said. “And that’s because Fitz is exactly like his momma. Fitz lived life on his own terms.”

She said Fitz helped her love the community where she has led many fights.

“He said ‘well, momma, you don’t know them like I know them.’ He said ‘my friends are great. The people are great.’ And I said from my view, I’m

fighting, so I don’t know. I was wrong. I was plenty wrong,” Thomas said. “… Fitz was right. We live in the greatest county in the world, but nothing had ever challenged me to see it like this. I fought many fights, very few, if any, for myself.

I didn’t have the same vantage point. I didn’t always feel the love coming back.

But this time, I was wrong. Fitz, you were right. We live in the greatest county in the world, and the people are great, and they will come along side of you, just like you said.”

Anna said Fitz talked about his friends so much, when some came to offer their condolences, she recognized them from Fitz’s stories.

“There was so much that he could help me with, but he helped me with enough already,” she said. “I’m just so grateful that he had such great friends, and he would always talk about his friends like he worshiped them. He loved his friend so, so much.”

“You’re here today and you’re gone tomorrow, so as I said, forgive, forgive,” Adrian said. “Any malice that you guys have in your heart with friends or family, please forgive because that’s the most important thing.”

“Fitz was a purposeful man,” Michelle said. “He spent 16 years, and he has fulfilled his purpose. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away.” n

LoCo Living

‘It’s Nice to Feel Normal Again’ Loudoun’s Live Music Scene Slowly Comes Back to Life

BY JAN MERCKER

jmercker@loudounnow.com

For three months, Loudoun’s musicians have performed from their living rooms and back porches to thumbs-up emojis instead of applause. As the region moves into its second week of Phase One reopening, performers and venues are dipping their toes into the live music pool and getting ready to jump back in.

Longtime local, regional and national performer Don Chapman, was one of the first Loudoun musicians back on the scene. Chapman had gigs at two favorite winery venues, Doukenie Winery and The Barns at Hamilton Station, on reopening weekend May 30 and 31.

“It was joyful for me,” Chapman said.

“Like I probably said 50 times at both gigs, ‘boy it’s nice to feel normal again.’ You felt like you did before all of this happened. ... You’re back up there doing your thing and pacing your afternoon and having fun with people enjoying their leisure time.”

But things are definitely different, Chapman said, as physically distancing and smaller crowds create a different vibe.

“People are going to still be cautious about going out. People are going to come back slowly,” Chapman said. “It’s not turning the spigot back on to full force in any way.”

Doukenie Winery started out slow, opening only for wine club members through at least June 21, said tasting room manager Bill Travis. The winery built a new outdoor pavilion for musicians near its beloved pond.

“We’re being really cautious,” Travis said.

For Chapman and musicians around the region, coronavirus-related closures meant getting up close and personal with fans via online shows. For Chapman, there were ups and downs to the livestream model. Like many musicians, Chapman said getting his music to fans around the country was an unexpected perk of the new reality.

“It gives a lot of people out of the region the opportunity to see me play live,” he said.

Chapman was able to spend time in the studio with his frequent collaborator, per-

cussionist Eric Selby, for Selby’s upcoming album.

And while the gigs are slowly starting to return, Chapman thinks it’s going to remain challenging in the short term.

“The jobs are not coming back quickly.

It’s going to remain tough for the rest of the year for both the venues and the musicians.”

For Susan Pratt, operations manager at the Barns at Hamilton Station Vineyards, reopening has been auspicious, with gorgeous weather and friendly crowds on the first two weekends.

“It’s been going perfect,” Pratt said. Our message to everyone is just be kind. Our customers have been fantastic.”

Pratt said one performer was a little nervous about coming back and playing for a crowd, but the community-focused vibe set him at ease.

“He came in and he was beside himself with happiness,” she said.

The venue has set up a covered outdoor space for musicians and tips are flowing, she said. “I’m so happy to have these guys back. I’m a music lover.”

Pete Lapp was another of the first musicians back on the scene during the first days of Phase One, with shows at Doukenie and Bear Chase Brewing.

For Lapp, the COVID shutdown coincided with his retirement from the FBI and a transition to a new job in the private sector, so it was good timing for a break from live shows. But, like Chapman, he found fun and connection in virtual shows and plans to keep the livestream in his toolbox moving forward. For Lapp and others, getting on the virtual concert bandwagon meant tackling new technology to create a high-quality stream.

“It was fun and challenging. I need to keep trying to do the virtual while I’m doing the live,” he said. “I’d like to keep people engaged.”

For Lapp, reaching out to faraway fans was another unexpected perk to the new virtual reality, including a couple stationed at the U.S. Embassy in Paris.

“They’re sitting in Paris sipping Champagne listening to me on my back deck,” Lapp said.

But nothing takes the place of loyal fans and friendly venues, Lapp said.

“I joke that I don’t have groupies, I have friends. They’ve become friends of mine,” he said. “The venue owners and the venue management, too. I don’t work venues where there’s not going to be a relationNORMAL AGAIN continues on page 29

The Town of Lovettsville unveils its much-anticipated LOVE sign Friday June 12 at 5 p.m. The sign is part of the Virginia is for Lovers LOVEworks program, which has installed a collection of more than 100 largescale LOVE signs in towns and cities across the commonwealth.

The display was designed by local artist Jill Evans-Kavaldjian and fabricated by Hamilton-based Quail Run Signs. The project was funded by grants from Loudoun Tourism, Loudoun County Economic Development and the LOVEworks Program. Organizers add that the unveiling takes place on Loving Day, the anniversary of the United States Supreme Court’s 1967 decision to strike down laws in several states that banned interracial marriage.

Keep on Streaming Outdoor music venues continue to test the waters with live shows, but with COVID-related restrictions still in place, livestreams won’t be going away anytime soon.

Both Chapman and Lapp have professional day jobs and steady income amid the pandemic and both have been focused on helping friends who are full time musicians during the shutdown.

“This is how they put food on their table,” Lapp said. “We’re back to playing, but we’re not full time like we were before.”

For Jason Masi, another Loudoun winery circuit favorite, music is a full-time job. After initially hesitating, Masi became a master of the online show and the virtual tip jar.

Franklin Park Takes a Virtual Break and Plans Reopening Franklin Park Arts Center’s daily online arts programming has been a lifesaver for arts lovers and parents during the tough early months of COVID-related closures.

The center is currently taking a break from online performances and demos while gearing up for a planned reopening in line with state timelines, according to

that this is a way to keep in touch with fans and keep me playing,” he said. “People were generous as far as tips go.”

Masi’s fans tuned into 90-minute 5 p.m. musical happy hours every other day with an online donation option. The pandemic also led to some creative musical opportunities. Masi was hired by several companies to do Zoom shows for employees. He connected with his alma mater, Longwood University, for virtual alumni events, including opening virtually for the well-known singer songwriter Jason Mraz.

But while Masi has been busy making lemons into lemonade, it hasn’t made up for the lost live shows. In addition to wineries and other gigs, Masi has also seen a dozen scheduled wedding performances canceled or postponed.

“I’ve definitely found a way to keep

busy, but it definitely is not the same as going out and playing five nights a week, especially during the busiest season of the year. I’ve certainly lost a lot,” Masi said.

“I’m excited to get back and play some real gigs.”

Masi’s first Phase One live gig last weekend at 50 West Vineyards meant smaller crowds, physical distancing and a longer day. The venue hired him for two shifts with a break in between as they welcomed visitors in shifts by reservation.

“We want to make sure we do it in a way that doesn’t take us right back to where we started,” Masi said.

He’s hoping to work up to three or four live gigs a week as Northern Virginia looks toward Phase Two of reopening. But he plans to keep the virtual shows going at least once or twice a week even as live shows return.

“I miss the interaction with everybody,” he said. “I thrive on being able to go around to each table and talk to everybody and see their faces and their reactions, see them unwinding. There’s something to be said about person to person interaction that we’re missing.”

Jason Masi plays Bluemont’s Henway Hard Cider Saturday, June 13 from noon to 4 p.m. and Hillsboro’s Doukenie Winery Sunday, June 14 from 1 to 5 p.m.

The Town Plan designates the properties along east Market Street as part of the Eastern Gateway District Small Area Plan; properties along West Market Street are designated as Low Density Residential; properties along North King Street are designated as Open Space, Major Institution, or Low Density Residential; properties along South King Street are designated as Low Density Residential, Open Space and Community Office; and properties along Edwards Ferry Road are designated as Downtown, Regional Retail, Community Office, and Low Density Residential. The proposed amendment proposes no changes to the uses or allowed density range in the Town Plan or as permitted by the current base zoning district of any property included in the proposed Gateway District (Overlay).

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.

6/4, 6/11, 6/18, 6/25, 7/2, 7/9, 7/16, 7/23 & 7/30/20

Copies and additional information regarding these proposed Zoning Ordinance amendments (TLOA2020-0001) are available at the Department of Planning and Zoning located on the second floor of the Leesburg Town Hall, 25 West Market Street, Leesburg, Virginia 20176 during normal business hours (Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.), or by calling 703-771-2766 and asking for Michael Watkins, Zoning Administrator.

Opinion Up To The Task Graduation is a time to celebrate accomplishment and promise, usually with a blend of emotions ranging from optimism to uncertainty.

As the members of the Class of 2020 are collecting their diplomas and degrees, they are forgoing many typical memories of their senior years. There were no prom-night dates and no opportunities to join classmates tossing mortarboards into the air. But the unprecedented circumstances they are navigating offer lessons difficult to grasp in the classroom.

They are witnessing economic hardship at a level not experienced by Americans in generations. Social unrest over police brutality and racism hasn’t been this widespread in decades. And a virus unchecked by modern medicine

polio once did.

Editor: I am writing in response to all of those who are trying to excuse or minimize a negative interpretation of the statement made by School Board member John Beatty (Catoctin District): “It was worse for African Americans after reconstruction because they did not have the patronage of the master.”

“Patronage is the support, encouragement, privilege or financial aid that an organization or individual bestows to another.” (Wikipedia) There is not one word in this definition that can be applied to the master-slave relationship. There was no support or encouragement. There was no privilege or financial aid. Nothing was “bestowed.” Food and shelter were provided to the extent necessary for the

Through it all, the power of community has been on full display. In many cases, it is their community that is making the greatest impact, with young people rejecting the prejudices so engrained in many of their parents and grandparents, while also exhibiting an ability to demonstrate a level of compassion that has escaped many in positions of power.

As these graduates move into leadership roles in the coming years, their efforts to build a better community will be grounded on these unique experiences. So far, they appear to be up to the task. n

master to continue to obtain free labor.

I cannot conceive of any context in which the use of the word “patronage” is acceptable. The slave was property and the master was entitled to treat the slave in any way he chose to. The master dictated every aspect of the slave’s life and did so for his own benefit. The master could whip slaves—even causing their death—and this was acceptable under the legal system. The master could sell off the spouse or children of a slave. A slave could not choose to leave the “patronage” of the master. The slave was not entitled to “life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness,” which we consider to be fundamental to our life in the United States of America.

during Reconstruction. But worse? Does one prefer to be a human being or property? A human being can have hope for a better future. Property is denied human emotions such as hope.

One can find individual former slaves who expressed their opinion that their life was harder after slavery. But this is not because slavery was better or because of the patronage of the master. It was because former slaves were not paid a decent wage for their labor. It was because it had been illegal to teach a slave to read and write or to acquire skills necessary for a life that was not controlled by another. It was because the law did not accord them their basic human rights. There are many reasons why life was hard for former slaves, but I would not put “patronage of the master” on that list of reasons.

The use of the word “patronage” invokes the image of a kindly master. This image is false in every way and does nothing but allow some people to excuse the reality of slavery and the Confederacy. John Beatty’s statement is abhorrent and contributes to the myths that continue to be perpetuated. He ought not to have a say in the functioning of a committee dealing with issues of equity in the 21st century. Brenda Sheridan has made the right decision and those School Board members who sought to avoid confronting this issue head on did not.

There is Only Us Editor: In my 82 years I have been given the privilege of circumnavigating the globe 13 times. I have been everywhere except Australia, New Zealand and the two Poles. This is what I have learned: There is no “us” and “them” in this world.

There is only “us.”

The color of our skin is no more a sign of our value as human beings than the color of our eyes or the color of our hair.

We must pay attention to this truth before we destroy both our planet and ourselves.

I am dismayed when I see and hear in the media so frequently the “setting apart” of us, one from another, rather than our “coming together.”

The late Cistercian monk, Thomas Merton, is quoted as commenting, when speaking of our creator, “His one image is in us all, and we discover him by discovering the likeness of his image in one another.”

We must all strive to live this truth. Let us not be silent.

Enough Editor: I support the Hillsboro’s project but not it’s road closure plan.

The town originally sold this plan as one that would permit traffic through the town (one lane) except for full road closures limited to 60 non-consecutive days. It did not seek winery, brewery, farmstand, or farm business input on this plan. It informed these businesses only after the plan was adopted by the town and later approved by VDOT. The road closures have contributed (along with COVID-19) to substantial losses and layoffs and cancelled investments by businesses, including ours. The full closures were to occur in November 2020 and spring 2021.

In March and April 2020, we asked the county and the town to accelerate the closures because we were under COVID-19 closure orders and residents in the area were under stay at home orders.

To great fanfare, the town announced it would accelerate plans and move full closures to MayJune 2020.

Then the town changed its mind. It informed us, through the press, that they didn’t accelerate the planned closures, but instead increased them from 60 non-consecutive days to a total of 90 days.

And the town sought and received VDOT approvals. No business input again by wineries, breweries, farm stands or farms before these decisions were taken.

Now, the town says, based on your reporting, that they will/may keep the road fully closed until sometime in August, but not to worry it will be open for local businesses in the fall.

I, and most people outside the town who rely on Rt. 9 for commuting, business, school, living, no longer trust anything the town says. The town is interested only in the town and its project’s completion. It has and continues to demonstrate little genuine concern for the project’s impact on everyone around the town. Moreover, the fall business the town wants to help us with will not make up for business lost to full road closures and COVID. More job losses. More lost revenue. More business failures.

And the town and county don’t care. If they did, there would be hearings at the county and local level before these decisions were taken. There would be impact studies on residents, commuters and businesses that were published. There would be compromises. There would be decisions that reflect the impacts identified in the studies What we got from the town and the County were dangerous local detours, way finding signs, surprise plan changes and pain. We also got the bill, too. Most of the funding for this project is county and regional a funding paid by taxpayers.

Enough.

Loudoun, Let’s Confront Our Racist Past

BY JOHANNA GUSMAN

I attended Sunday’s student-led march for Black lives in Purcellville. Hundreds of people attended to peacefully protest by marching down Main Street to the Town Hall. It was a beautifully diverse, intergenerational show of unity declaring what should never be considered controversial: Black lives matter. At the same time, counter-protesters also showed up—with guns, flags, and posters of their own—heckling marchers and declaring the misguided (put nicely) response that “all lives matter.”

Fortunately, with the community leadership of Chair Phyllis Randall and Commonwealth’s Attorney Buta Biberaj working alongside the Purcellville Police, tensions were de-escalated, and the march continued peacefully without detracting from the focus of the moment. Marchers simply passed by ignoring the racist remarks and pathetic display of white supremacy/ toxic masculinity, shouting, “No justice! No peace!” What I found paradoxical about this interaction is that the men yelling at the marchers and singling out the black participants were demonstrating precisely why so many of us were marching.

Black Lives Matter started as a call to action in response to state-sanctioned violence and anti-black racism and has continued its movement-building and organizing to liberate black people and end white supremacy forever. In a world where (white) people are beginning to recognize that black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise, it is important to highlight that part of dismantling racism and racist systems requires recognition that these ongoing battles and incidents like the one on Sunday are directly tied to our history. That action now is partly evoked by our collective inaction in the past.

Loudoun’s history in enabling racism is robust. It was one of the last counties in the nation to desegregate its schools. It wasn’t until 1968, a full 14 years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s landmark Brown vs. Board of Education ruling that “separate but equal” schooling was unconstitutional, that Loudoun complied. It wasn’t until 2019 that Loudoun, through the tireless work of its NAACP Branch, finally dedicated a memorial site to honor Orion Anderson, a 14-year-old child who was lynched by a group of more than two dozen vigilantes in 1889—an incident that was suppressed by the county for years.

It also cannot go unrecognized that our state was both the site where slaves entered our country in 1619 and the capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. As we all reckon with our complicit or active participation in systems that perpetuate racial injustice—policing and police brutality, the criminal justice system, economic inequality, environmental racism, inequity in education, voter suppression and the plethora of other structures that have disproportionately and adversely impacted the Black community—we have to confront this past. It is important to not only ask yourself, but to challenge our collective community, to do the hard work that is far overdue. In navigating this history, we can begin to answer directly why all lives can’t matter until black ones do. n Johanna Gusman is a human rights lawyer, Fulbright Scholar, and a public interest law specialist on critical race theory.

Hundreds of protesters marched Sunday afternoon in the Town of Purcellville Virginia in the “Peace & Justice March: Love & Unity Leads The Way.”

Protests

Thoughtful Vigils

continued from page 1 Like other organizers who have been surprised by the number and fervor of the people who have turned out to demonstrations, Akinotcho said she expected only a tiny fraction of the actual attendance—fewer than a hundred, she said, compared to the thousands who are estimated to have shown up. And, she said, “young activists should stand up now, because there’s no time better than today.”

“Other than protesting, I feel like the best way [to help] is to donate, to spread awareness, and to really stand up for your fellow black man within the community,” Akinotcho said. “Because you don’t know how many people I’ve seen who have told me that they were abused by classmates, teachers, even people they trust, and nobody stuck up for them. And having somebody stick up for you was a big deal for them. I feel like that’s the root of the Black Lives Matter movement—if you can stick up for your black fellow, then you’re definitely doing something.”

The same day as Akinotcho’s protest, Leesburg saw its second major protest in a week, bringing out hundreds who marched through downtown from the Town Green to the courthouse square. The statue of the Confederate soldier on the courthouse green, surrounded by protesters once again, ended the demonstration wearing a face mask reading “Black Lives Matter” and holding a protest sign.

Similarly, Purcellville on Sunday saw

Purcellville Police Chief Cynthia McAlister is hugged by former Loudoun Valley student Joshua Fox who had given an impassioned speech just moments before McAlister addressed the marchers. The crowd was heckling McAlister when Fox stepped up and let the crowd know that the chief had been supportive and had helped to organize the march.

hundreds of people march in the “Peace & Justice March: Love & Unity Leads The Way.” The march was organized by Purcellville Youth/College Students in coordination with Town of Purcellville and the Loudoun NAACP. Those protests have also seen speeches from Loudoun’s police chiefs, who are under the spotlight as people across the country protest police violence. Both Leesburg Chief Greg Brown and Purcellville Chief Cynthia McAlister have expressed outrage at the actions of Derek Chauvin, the former police officer recorded kneeling on the

neck of George Floyd.

“Integrity, compassion, and empathy for all human beings should be non-negotiable for police officers in every law enforcement agency,” McAlister said. “To the African-American community of Purcellville and to African-Americans everywhere, the men and women of our police department and our town government are here for you and are listening to you.”

While the demonstrations in Purcellville, Leesburg and Sterling were peaceful but passionate affairs, two vigils held over the past week were more contemplative.

In Round Hill, after struggling with the sadness and anger she felt from watching the death of George Floyd, Jennifer Maulfair felt the need to do something—even if that was to walk down her street to a Round Hill park, light a candle and reflect.

She planned a small gathering with fellow teacher Tammy Pyle. Last Wednesday, a crowd estimated at 500 people showed up to Niels Poulsen Park.

After the crowd sat in silence for 8 minutes and 46 seconds—the amount of time Floyd was pinned to the ground while handcuffed—attendees were offered the opportunity to share the views. For nearly an hour, they did, expressing anger, sadness, worry, frustration and hope.

One neighbor shared her fears about her sons who will soon be driving and the horror she feels that they could come into the news as Floyd did. She also spoke about the isolation minorities feel.

“I have lived here for a year, I’ve run on the trail every day and the only time someone has said hello to me or the only time anyone has ever smiled at me, the only time someone has asked me how my day has been is during the last week,” she said. “That speaks volumes about people, in general. … It takes something like this for people to want to be friendly and act like they care.”

She urged attendees to continue to break into the world of their minority neighbors after the current news cycle ends.

A 12-year-old told the crowd she was PROTESTS continues on page 47

Protests continued from page 46 experiencing her first big world crisis. “I wasn’t here for 911 or anything else. Inside, I am afraid. I don’t want to die. My mother has darker skin and I don’t want her to die.

I don’t want the rest of my family to die just because they are a different skin tone than me.”

“As an African-American man living in this county I can say it hasn’t been difficult, but where I grew up and where I came from has been a struggle at times and even today,” said a pastor who shared that he was worried about his bi-racial sons. “I still have to teach my boys how to survive in a society that doesn’t appreciate you because of the color of your skin.”

“We’ve lived here for 17 years and we’ve seen a lot of change, but tonight there is something different in the air,” he said.

The same day as the Round Hill vigil, another vigil in Sterling, arranged on two days’ notice, brought out close to 500 people.

The vigil was organized by Stephane Longchamp, a coach and teacher at Potomac Falls High School, and his wife Bronwyn. Longchamp said the idea for the vigil began with a social media post after seeing the video of Amy Cooper, a woman in New York who called police on a black man who was birdwatching in a park after he asked her to leash her dog. That video became emblematic of white privilege and unequal policing in the days that followed—until a video emerged of another incident on the same day in which George Floyd, a black man, was killed by a police officer kneeling on his neck in Minneapolis.

“Watching the Amy Cooper video, and watching her reaction and watching how she felt like she could tap into a privilege that would kind of allow her to put this man in harm’s way, it kind of brought back up some of those things that I had been feeling,” Longchamp said. Despite his positions—coach, teacher, father—that have made him well-known in the community, he said he worries.

“If somebody sees me and thinks I don’t belong in either in my neighborhood or I don’t belong in their neighborhood or in this community, if somebody feels that I’m out of place, that could escalate, and there’s no telling what the ramifications could be,” Longchamp said.

The couple began spreading the word about a vigil on Facebook and through word of mouth—but, like Maufair, Bronwyn said the turnout was beyond anything they expected. Although they started just by sharing their plans for the vigil among their friends, Bronwyn said, “there were faces I’ve never seen before.”

Renss Greene/Loudoun Now

The biggest protest in a week of protests happened at Algonkian Regional Park, where thousands of people protested on Saturday, and was organized by high school student Ocean Akinotcho.

Renss Greene/Loudoun Now

Ocean Akinotcho, the high school student who organized a massive demonstration in Sterling, said the Black Lives Matter movement is “not to matter more, but to matter.”

“For me, as the white person, the one to show solidarity, it meant the world, because it shows me there are people in our community who are at least, at a minimum, willing to stand in solidarity,” Bronwyn said.

The vigil began at a bus stop at the intersection of Palisades Parkway that last year was vandalized with swastikas. From there, they proceeded to the nearby Stephen Frazier Community Center, or “The Stone House,” a popular gathering spot with a pools and sports. It was a symbolic route.

“We wanted to start at a place where we were specifically saying no to racism, big-

otry and hatred, but end in a place that was a centralized community area, and where we could all come together, and I think that was really the gist of the message,” Stephane said.

“We have to listen to each other, and sometimes listening means that you don’t have a response,” Stephane said. “Listening means that people have to be ready to be uncomfortable.” He said sometimes, as a man, “I have to be okay with being uncomfortable if my wife is sharing an experience.”

He said all people have to use their voic-

es against racism and bigotry. And: “I’m not going to tell you who to vote for, but you’ve got to be part of the process. That is a right and a privilege that you have, and you have to be part of the process. If you’re in there and you’re voting, that tells me that you take this seriously.”

The thousands of people demonstrating have seen backlash from a handful of people—in Round Hill, the evening was disrupted by a small caravan that drove up and down the road beside the park displaying Trump flags. As the crowd dispersed, one member from the vigil crowd, soon joined by others, stood in front of the trucks and displayed signs, stopping them in the street for a few moments.

In Purcellville, in front of a gun store, a handful of people held a barbecue and heckled marchers as they went by.

And at Algonkian Regional Park, one person asked Supervisor Juli E. Briskman (D-Algonkian) if the gathering meant businesses could reopen—a decision the county board doesn’t make, although Briskman has supported the governor’s business restrictions—before being shouted down by the crowd: “Put on a mask!”

“There should not be a more, and there should not be a less, and that is why Black Lives Matter is here—not to matter more, but to matter,” Akinotcho said.

“I don’t know what’s the longer term, what’s next per se, but it has stirred,” Stephane Longchamp said. “We’ve got some kind of motion going.” n
