Preparations Move Ahead on 2015 Police, Fire Games BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Fourteen months may seem like a long time, but it’s not when you’re preparing for an event that rivals the size of the Olympic Games. Organizers of the 2015 World Police and Fire Games, which will be held next summer at 53 venues

around Fairfax County, said preparations are moving ahead swiftly and smoothly. “The majority of all of the venues and facilities for the activities and sporting events have been finalized and are now in place,� said Barry Biggar, president and CEO of Visit Fairfax. “We have worked diligently at getting all of the sports

coordinators in place and the training for them has begun.� The games, to be held from June 26 through July 5 next year, will give fire and police personnel from more than 70 countries the chance to “celebrate the sports, their professions, camaraderie and fraternity,� Biggar said. County officials several years ago decided to seek the privilege of

London, Knight said. “We will exceed the Olympic games in the number of competitors and number of competitions,� said Knight, who previously has worked at major athletic events ranging from Super Bowls and the Ryder Cup to the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta and the World Cup USA in 1994. “These games are very unique,� Knight said. “They’re all about the public-safety officers. For ‘occupational athletes,’ these are some amazing athletes. Preparing for these games helps them on the job.� Opening ceremonies for the games will be held at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium in Washington, D.C. More than 60 sporting events will be held at various Fairfax County locations and the athletes’ village will be located in Reston. Besides traditional sports, the events will range from fairly sedate – such as angling, billiards and badminton – to ones involving firearms, martial arts and police service dogs. There also will be unusual contests such as “dragon boat,� “ultimate firefighter� and “toughest competitor alive.� The upcoming games also are serving as an impetus for some county officials to push for a mealstax referendum. Their goal: Have the tax in place in time to capture revenue from the thousands of athletes and their supporters when they eat out during the games next year. Visit Fairfax is among the groups participating in task force that will examine the desirability and potential timing for such a tax. The group is being chaired by former Board of Supervisors chairmen Tom Davis and Katherine Hanley.

hosting the games at the suggestion of county police Lt. Bruce Blechl and fire department Battalion Chief Jerome Williams. The California Police Athletic Federation, which serves as the games’ global parent organization, in early April sent 11 representatives to Fairfax County to visit the various venues and evaluate the preparations’ status. “They were thrilled with where we were at the time,� said Bill Knight, president and CEO of Fairfax 2015, the non-profit group administering the games. The visitors suggested several tweaks, including having the Herndon Community Center host weight-lifting events instead of martial-arts activities, he said. Visit Fairfax officials are working to raise community awareness about the games and arrange for corporate sponsorships. Knight credited Biggar for arranging the games’ timing to skirt the school calendar and coincide with Independence Day celebrations. Organizers opened an accommodations program for athletes this March and so far more than 100 area hotels have lined up to help house the games’ participants next year, Biggar said. The games will have a total budget of about $20 million, costs for which will be split about evenly between the public and private sectors, Knight said. The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors allocated $2 million for the games in the county’s fiscal year 2015 budget, he said. The games likely will draw more than 12,000 athletes – even more than the 2012 Summer Olympics in

Five Business Groups Unite to Take Joint Approach on Issues Five local business organizations announced May 9 that they have formed a joint legislative committee to represent their interests at the city, county and state levels. The Greater McLean, Falls Church and Asian American chambers of commerce, along with the Vienna and Greater Merrifield business associations, have signed a memorandum of understanding that stipulates each will send members to serve on the committee. The committee will advocate for localbusiness positions on matters being decided by local city councils, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors, Virginia General Assembly and even on national issues, if the situations merit, leaders said. “We felt it was important to be sure small businesses have a louder voice in these discussions,” said Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce president Marcia Twomey in a statement accompanying the announcement. Falls Church and McLean chamber leaders previously tried to build support for such an effort, but could not find enough members to commit to the work on a regular basis, said Marcus Simon, the McLean chamber’s first vice-president. Prospects improved when the three other business groups agreed to participate, he said. “By uniting and joining forces, [we] have enough people to meet on a regular basis and have a more vibrant group that will really dig into the issues,” Simon said. “You don’t want a group with one or two people discussing their pet issues. You want a meeting of the minds so the positions that come out represent the business community at large.” Simon was a key backer of the new committee, but won’t serve on it because of a slight conflict: He represents the 53rd District in the House of Delegates. “I can’t lobby myself, but I hope I can be a resource, give [committee members] insight, do research and point them in the

right direction,” he said. “I can let them know about issues coming up that will affect them here in Northern Virginia.” Some of those topics could include Medicaid expansion, transportation and the minimum wage, said Simon, who also belongs to the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce. The committee will bring the perspective of small-business owners, who might have different views and priorities from leaders of major corporations, Simon said. For example, when it comes to spending the new regional transportation fund, local businesses might favor intersection improvements and sidewalk initiatives while big companies might lean toward megaprojects, such as Metrorail’s Silver Line, he said. The member groups have not determined how often the new committee will meet, but it will come together more frequently than on an ad hoc basis, Simon said. “I’m glad to see the groups working cooperatively,” he said. “This is a great way to work together on something. The whole may be greater than the sum of the parts separately.” Christopher Bergin, chairman of the Falls Church Chamber of Commerce, said in a media statement that the participating organizations look forward to cooperating on topics of common concern. “We may sometimes be competitors in business, but we can work together on issues that affect us all,” Bergin’s statement read. While no specific issue prompted the committee’s formation, local businesses can benefit from sharing knowledge and weighing in on topics before key decisions are taken, said D.H. Scarborough, past chairman of the Vienna Business Association. Scarborough, who co-owns an accounting firm, said business owners constantly must anticipate problems. “You’re always on the alert,” she said. “It’s like with the IRS. You never know when they’re going to come up with something else.”

Initiative by Vienna Police Nets 319 Pounds’ Worth of Medication

www.insidenova.com

The Vienna Police Department, in conjunction with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, participated April 26 in the eighth National Drug Take-back Initiative. As a result of that initiative, Vienna police collected and safely disposed of 319 pounds of expired or no-longer-needed medications from area residents. Police encouraged local residents to drop off their unwanted medications anonymously. The program was designed to prevent such drugs from being introduced into waterways, where they could produce harmful effects. The April initiative collected approximately 22,855 pounds of medications statewide. Vienna police plan to continue their participation with the DEA for future initiatives.

Langley Student’s Campaign Gives Tips to Underclassmen BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Going through high school is a stressful experience and those who almost have made it out of the chute can give helpful advice to others making the journey. So reasoned Langley High School senior Ezzy Sriram, who on May 19 will launch an in-school photo and social-media program called the “4U Campaign.” The initiative’s name symbolizes not only “For you” but the four-year experience of high school, he said. “Since I started high school, I always liked the idea of a diverse group of seniors mentoring underclassmen, not just being other students at the school,” Sriram said. “I find that since seniors speak the same language as their underclassmen peers, why not use that?” Sriram timed the program’s debut to occur after students finished their Advanced Placement exams. He also will create a bulletin board at the school where students may leave their advice on academic, social, extracurricular and general-life topics. Members of the Class of 2014 posed for goofy photos that will give their younger classmates messages – from lighthearted to serious – about what the seniors have learned in high school.

The tips are designed to put the highschool setting in perspective, Sriram said. “Your grades aren’t an accurate judge of who you are or how smart you are,” said the 18-year-old McLean resident. Sriram this school year founded Langley High’s Entrepreneurship Club and he said one of the group’s guest speakers had a similar outlook. “The speaker said C students create companies that are managed by B students who manage the A students,” Sriram said. One of the campaign’s slides, “Alter Egos,” shows four students striking two markedly different poses each while wearing disparate getups. Its tagline reads, “2 Looks. Same People.

New McLean Pit Stop to Be Among 79 at Bike-to-Work Event BRIAN TROMPETER

Cyclists who take part in Bike to Work Day festivities May 16 can add McLean to their list of potential pit stops. The McLean “refueling point” will be Greenberry’s Coffee Shop, 6839 Redmond Drive, which will provide coffee for hungry riders. Giant Food will donate fruit for the event and Chesapeake Bagel will supply bagels, said Dennis Frew, a McLean resident who belongs to Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling. The McLean stop will be sponsored by the JBG Cos. and Bike McLean, a committee of the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce. The event, organized by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments and aided by the Washington Area Bicyclist Association (WABA), will be held rain or shine from 6:30 to 9 a.m. The festivities are designed to encourage more people to bicycle and educate the public about bike safety. “It’s all about raising awareness for cyclists and motorists so people share the road with everybody,” said Chad Thompson, the McLean pit stop’s manager. Frew agreed, saying much of the education needs to be directed at bicyclists. Virginia driving rules do not have much information pertaining to cyclists’ rights and

responsibilities, he said. “They are considered a vehicle in Virginia and they’re supposed to follow the rules like any other vehicle,” Frew noted. As of late last week, 31 people had signed up at the McLean stop – a tally that already beat organizers’ overall goal, Thompson said. The event this year is expected to draw about 17,000 bicyclists and offer 79 pit stops – up from 14,500 cyclists and 75 pit stops last year. Fairfax County will have 14 pit stops. Besides Greenberry’s in McLean, stops in the Sun Gazette’s readership area include the Vienna Town Green, Tysons Corner Center (in front of Capital Grille), Strawberry Park in Merrifield’s Mosaic District and the Washington & Old Dominion (W&OD) Regional Trail at Sandburg Street in Merrifield. Arlington will have pit stops in Ballston, Columbia Pike/Penrose Square, Crystal City Water Park, the W&OD Trail near Lee Highway and North Washington Street, the East Falls Church Metrorail station and Rosslyn. WABA will arrange for more than 20 “commuter convoys” that will cycle en masse to various destinations in the Washington region, most of them in the District of Columbia and Maryland. For more information on the convoys, visit www.waba. org. Participants are encouraged to register

in advance, but may do so on the day of the event, Thompson said. The first 14,000 people who pre-register will receive free Tshirts. Organizers also will give out maps of the region’s bicycle trail networks. Bicycle advocates have created a route master plan for Tysons Corner, which is in the pro-

cess of being approved by Fairfax County officials, Frew added. “We’re trying to make Tysons more vital,” he said. “You’ll have four Metro stops there and no Metro parking.” Thompson is hopeful McLean’s bicycling options will continue to improve.

Opinion Our View: Think Before You Run for Office We have no quarrel with those who opt to exercise their constitutional rights by running for political office, no matter how long-shot those efforts may be. Whether seeking the nomination of a major political party, running under the banner of a third party or going it alone as an independent, those who have a viewpoint to contribute to political discourse and are willing to take the effort to get themselves on the ballot are worthy of praise. That said, what we most decidedly do not like are candidates who act like dilettantes – hopping in and out of races with no clear reason behind their candidacies. Consider the case of Satish Korpe, who last week ended his run for the Democratic nomination for 8th District U.S. House of Representatives. Never heard of Korpe? Neither, we suspect, have most voters in the 8th District. He’s an engineer and no doubt a smart and good guy. But he had no place in the 8th District race in the first place, at least based on the rather

limited number of talking points he walked through in various debates and candidate forums and a thin, though not completely empty, civic résumé. What he did do was take up space in a campaign that already had too many candidates – there were at one point 12 Democrats running for the nomination. That figure is now whittled down to nine, maybe eight, and by any reasonable measure, should probably be down to about six at this point. Those who attended any of the candidate debates where all the 8th District Democrats candidates were on the dais quickly recognized what an unmitigated disaster it was trying to have a serious discussion with so many people. It just doesn’t work. (Even with just six candidates, as was the case among Republicans in the 10th Congressional District, candidate forums proved challenging.) Our message to prospective candidates is this: Before embarking on a run for office, clearly define to yourself the reasons you are running. Those who have little to no chance of victory

need to take a serious look in the mirror and ask themselves if their presence will bring anything substantive to the discussion. And for those who desire to run under the banner of third parties (Greens, Libertarians, Independent Greens the like)? Ask yourself if you have the stamina to be in the campaign for the long haul. We are weary of people nobody has heard of before making big announcements of candidacies – usually accompanied with the hope-over-experience contention that victory is within reach – only to disappear from the race over the hot summer months. Such nowyou-see-them-now-you-don’t candidacies do little to improve the public image of third parties. Maybe our grumpiness stems from the fact there have been a huge number of political campaigns across Northern Virginia so far this spring, and the heart of 2014’s campaign season really has just begun. Trying to keep up with all these races, and candidates, is enough to test anyone’s sanity.

Foust Won’t Be a Go-To Guy for His Constituents Editor: I read with interest the May 8 letter “Foust Is the Obvious Choice in 10th.” From personal experience, I disagree. Last summer, a clerical error at the bank had been made when I paid the county tax bill, and I had to pay a late fee. When

asking folks for advice, I was told who to contact U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf, because Supervisor John Foust is not known for follow-up. (By the way, the late fee was returned.) We need someone who wants to listen to constituents and is willing to go to bat

for them. Rep. Wolf has never failed to do so in the last 30 years, and the closest I can find in the race to succeed him is Del. Barbara Comstock. Anne Snyder McLean

Comstock Not Serious-Minded Enough for 10th Editor: The Sun Gazette’s endorsement of Del. Barbara Comstock as the “clear choice” for the Republican nomination to succeed U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10th) was so lackluster as to make one wonder why you bothered to endorse her at all. In fact, the “quibbles” you have with Ms. Comstock as a state delegate provide a road map of exactly why she is not a good candidate to represent the 10th District in Congress. First, using the term “quibbles” really understates the extent to which Comstock has been willing to undercut the interests of her constituents in favor of ultra-conservative Tea Party ideology. Her failure to support the bipartisan 2013 transportation bill is only one of many examples. She voted against the budget that increased the number of slots for in-state students at Virginia colleges and universities, a measure her constituents had loudly supported. Then, after it passed anyway,

she was more than willing to take credit for the very budget she had voted against. The same with teacher pay raises and increased school staffing; she voted against the budget that provided necessary funding, and then took credit for these popular funding increases. She refuses to support the expansion of Medicaid, even though it would provide coverage for almost half a million low-income working Virginians (including tens of thousands in her own district). She is even willing to shut down the entire Virginia government over this bill, so desperate is she to be seen as opposing “Obamacare.” How does that serve our interests? The editorial is correct in saying that she is a “favorite of the Republican establishment,” but incorrect in granting her any connection to the “center-right wing of the GOP.” Look at her record, and you will see that she is anything but centrist. She is so pro-gun that she even supports the sale of bazookas in the state. She is so

pro-life and anti-women’s health needs that she is willing to close down clinics that provide basic health care to poor women and their families, just to make it harder for a woman to have an abortion. Is this what you consider “serious minded”?

BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Vienna Administrative Services Director Nancy McMahon, who for nearly 30 years oversaw the hiring, training and pensions of the town’s personnel, retired without fanfare in early April, town officials said. According to McMahon’s profile on the Web site LinkedIn, she had been employed by the town for 29 years 10 months. Her current occupational status is listed as “None, Retired.” The Sun Gazette could not reach McMahon for comment. Town Manager Mercury Payton thanked McMahon for her three decades’ service to Vienna and said she had been “very much committed” to the town’s success. “I’m not sure what she’s doing next, but I’m sure she’ll do well,” said Payton, who added that many former longtime town employees, such as previous Finance Director Phil Grant, have taken up consulting work upon retirement. The Vienna Administrative Services Department now is being led by acting director Marion Serfass, whose regular job is deputy director of the Finance Department. The town’s search for McMahon’s successor likely will not begin until early this summer, as Payton currently is focusing on filling the vacant position of publicinformation officer. That job’s previous occupant, Kirstyn Barr, left this spring to become town manager in Occoquan. Vienna officials hope to select McMahon’s successor by late summer, Payton said. According to McMahon’s LinkedIn profile, she earned a bachelor’s degree in

business administration from Purdue University-Calumet and a master’s in public administration from Indiana University. Before coming to Vienna, McMahon served as assistant to the town manager in Munster, Ind., from May 1979 to June 1984. As Vienna’s administrative-services director, McMahon managed an annual budget of more than $1 million and oversaw human-resources operations for 185 employees. She directed the recruitment and retention of employees, oversaw training and diversity programs, managed benefit and wellness programs, and administered three town-sponsored pension plans, her Web profile read.

May 19 is the deadline for residents of the 8th Congressional District to register to vote in the Democratic primary that will be held June 10. Ten Democrats qualified for the ballot, although Satish Korpe, one of them, dropped out last week. The winner of the primary will move on to the Nov. 4 general election. The winner of the general election will succeed U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-8th), who is retiring. Republicans have nominated Micah Edmond as their candidate, and a number of third-party candidates also are in the running. In Virginia, primary elections are run by the state government. Because Virginia does not register voters by political party, all registered voters in the 8th District are eligible to cast ballots. The district includes all of Arlington County and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church, as well as portions of Fairfax County.

n The National Merit Scholarship Corp. has named 31 Fairfax County Public Schools students as winners of $2,500 National Merit Scholarships. The students are part of a group of approximately 2,500 National Merit finalists chosen to receive scholarships primarily financed by the organization. Winners of the scholarships from the Sun Gazette coverage area, with their probable career fields in parentheses, are: • Langley High School: Nathaniel Speiser (physics), Leah Surratt (engineering), Katherine Tan (undecided). • James Madison High School: Matthew Cohen (history). • George C. Marshall High School: Annika Dirkse (biology), Stephen Mills (engineering). • Oakton High School: Paul Burke (nuclear engineering), Monica Hanratty (economics), Ajay Mehta (medicine), Rhea Singh (surgical medicine). • Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology: Sreenath Are (computer science), Rohan Banerjee (aerospace engineering), Owen Gray (biotechnology), Abraham Kang (computer science), Veronica Lee (electrical engineering), Andrea Li (biological engineering), Ivy Ren (physics), Emily Schneider (medical research), Martha Shields (nuclear engineering), Chandan Singh (computer science), Wen Sun (chemical engineering), Joseph Valery (physics), Victoria Xia (computer science) and Jennifer Yin (finance). Each scholarship winner was evaluated on his or her academic record, including difficulty level of subjects studied and grades earned; scores from two standardized tests; contributions and leadership in school and community activities; an essay describing interests and goals; and a recommendation from a high school official. The number of winners named in a state is in proportion to the state’s percent-

age of the national total of graduating high school seniors. n Two middle-school teams from the McLean Robotics Institute were crowned champions at the VEX World Robotics Championships, held in April in Anaheim, Calif. More than 750 student-run robotics teams from 27 countries qualified to compete in the competition. The “Reisenchein” team won the Excellence Award, the highest in the competition. Team members include Matthew Cox of Longfellow Middle School and Rohit Narayanan, Angela Wei, Christopher Kang and Megha Narayanan of the Potomac School. The “Regulated Additives” team won the Robot Skills competition, setting a new middle-school world record. Team members include Gabriel Wimmer and Walker Haynes of Longfellow Middle School; Christopher Barre of The Heights School; and Chandler Wimmer of Churchill Road Elementary School. “It was very gratifying to see our McLean teams bring home two of the top titles – it is a testament to the depth and potential for STEM education in Virginia,” said Anant Narayanan, founder and director of the McLean Robotics Institute. n The Potomac School’s Upper School robotics team of Sidney Levingston and Serena Thoma advances to the quarterfinals of the VEX World Championship, held in Anaheim, Calif. The team finished 16th in a field of 86. The Potomac School’s eighth-grade team of Tyler Sanok, David Kiernan and Alan Vo finished 21st at the competition, missing the final playoff by just two points. The team competed against teams from 33 nations after winning the Virginia VEX IQ state championship in February. n Richard Merski of Vienna, a senior at James Madison High School, has been named one of the winners of the U.S. CapContinued on Page 9

27 Quick and Easy Fix Ups to Sell Your Home Fast and for Top Dollar McLean, Great Falls, Vienna and Oakton - Because your home may well be your largest asset, selling it is probably one of the most important decisions you will make in your life. And once you have made that decision, you’ll want to sell your home for the highest price in the shortest time possible without compromising your sanity. Before you place your home on the market, here’s a way to help you to be as prepared as possible.

Members of the Langley High School Band, their chaperones, band director Doug Martin and Langley principal Matt Ragone enjoyed a week in Spain earlier this year, where the band’s performances were very well-received by appreciative audiences in Barcelona, Madrid and Segovia.

Continued from Page 8 itol Historical Society’s “Making Democracy Word” student-essay contest. Merski’s entry, “The Duties of Democracy: Reflections on a Citizen’s Rights and Responsibilities,” won first place in the senior division, and earned him a cash prize of $1,000. “The American democratic experiment remains a fragile test of freedom against the threat of tyranny,” Merski wrote in his essay. “To endure, it will need to be nurtured with dedication, vigilance and the unrelenting resolve of its citizens to assume individual responsibility for safeguarding their enviable rights.” U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-11th) praised Merski. “He has shown outstanding initiative in his studies, particularly with respect to foreign language, history and culture, which will serve him well in his future endeavors.” n Potomac School sophomore Gianmarco Terrones of McLean was awarded a gold medal for his perfect score on the National French Contest 3A exam. Achieving a perfect score makes Terrones eligible for a chance to win a twoseek stay in France, sponsored by the Embassy of France. n Potomac School senior Kabir Khanna and junior Jameson Culp, both from McLean, will represent the Northern Virginia region at the National Catholic Forensic League’s Grand National Tournament. Competing as a team, the pair earned a berth to nationals when they finished in the top 50 percent of the Washington area regional championships.

Incumbent Edythe Kelleher and newcomers Pasha Majdi and Linda Colbert bested three other candidates May 6 to win three available Vienna Town Council seats, while unopposed Mayor Laurie DiRocco cruised to victory. According to unofficial results, Kelleher was the top vote-getter among the Town Council candidates, winning support from 1,146 town residents. Majdi was close behind with 1,089 votes and Colbert received 1,023. Also running in the election were Tara Voigt (732 votes), Michael Cheselka (483) and Dennis Rice (466). About 16.2 percent of Vienna’s 10,996 registered voters cast ballots at the Vienna Community Center – a much higher turnout than usual. Voters cast 60 of the 1,782 votes via absentee ballot. DiRocco received 1,594 votes. After Mayor M. Jane Seeman announced late last year that she would not seek an eighth term, DiRocco was the only candidate to file for this May’s mayoral election. Seeman, who had been suffering from lung cancer, died Feb. 23. DiRocco, a Town Council member since 2009, was sworn in as mayor April 8 after the Council appointed her to serve the remaining weeks of Seeman’s unexpired term. Throughout the campaign, residents expressed concerns about the town’s walkability and bike-ability, Maple Avenue redevelopment and renovations to the Vienna Community Center, DiRocco said. In addition to newcomers Colbert and Majdi, the Town Council will have to appoint someone to serve the remaining year of DiRocco’s unexpired Council term – meaning there will be three new faces on the seven-member body this summer. “There’s definitely going to be a change in the town,� DiRocco said. “I think it can be in a very positive way, because I think there are a lot of committed candidates who are willing to work for the town.� Kelleher, a Council member since 2002, said the town must strike a delicate balance when crafting the vision for Maple Avenue’s future. “People want to see Vienna do something new, but not too much,� she said.

“What I’m hearing is that people are generally happy. People have issues here and there, maybe a particular project or a pothole here or a streetlight there . . . but nothing huge.� Majdi, a former congressional staff member, currently serves on Vienna’s Town/Business Liaison Committee. The Vienna native called his months of campaigning “exhilarating� and said the town’s issues were micro-local, differing every half-block. “The biggest issue I’ve been talking about is the future of Maple Avenue,� he said. “The Town Council is considering an optional zoning overlay on Maple Avenue, and my biggest issue is making sure that whatever the new zoning plan is, it encourages all local businesses to stay here and discourages Tysons development from pushing out our local shops.� Colbert, who serves on the Transportation Safety Commission, is the daughter of the late Mayor Seeman and late Town Council member Rodger Seeman. “I have always loved Election Day, because I’ve been out here every year for one of my parents or for one of the candidates,� she said. “I think the voters are going to know who cares about Vienna, who’s doing it for the right reasons. The six people running no doubt are good people, but when it comes down to it, I’m a Vienna girl. I’m committed. I’m not going anywhere. It’s my hometown.� Voigt, who also serves on the Transportation Safety Commission, said some residents expressed concern about the size of houses being built in the town. Candidates in the heavily competitive election had to seek out first-time voters in addition to the usual core of stalwarts, she said. “There’s your typical 900 to 1,000 people who vote in most elections, but getting those neighbors who never vote is key to any of our campaigns,� Voigt said. “When you knock on doors, it’s amazing how many people who regularly vote are senior citizens.� Cheselka, a longtime youth-athletics coach and current member of the town’s Board of Architectural Review, said he

focused not only on the town’s future, but improving the lives of current residents. “Potholes being fixed, the community center being redone a little bit, sidewalks, infrastructure – things we need for the paying taxpayer right now, not for the future,” he said. “That was a theme I heard from seniors all over the place: ‘We feel like we’re being pushed out.’” Rice, a former Army dentist who now owns J.D.A. Custom Homes Inc., concentrated on fiscal responsibility, such as more efficient bidding for town contracts. “I don’t care how much money you make, you’ve still got a limited budget,” Rice said, adding, town residents “want to spend it on themselves and their families and not on government.” The extra-large field of candidates was occasioned by the retirements of Council members Michael Polychrones and Laurie Cole. Polychrones resigned from the Council May 6 to take a job in North Carolina; Cole will serve until her term expires on June 30. Voters cast 128 write-in ballots, which Fairfax County election officials have not broken down by name. Some of those votes likely went to Vienna resident David Swink, who staged a last-minute write-in campaign – something not done since 2004, when some northeast Vienna residents, unhappy with the town’s mulchgrinding facility, mounted an unsuccessful write-in effort. A Fairfax County Taxpayers Alliance board member, Swink inveighed against Vienna’s higher real estate tax bills this year. “I’ve been to all the budget meetings and no one seems to be listening,” he said. “Real estate taxes are the one thing that’s out of kilter. They don’t seem to be, at the town level and county level, controlling spending.” The Fairfax County Electoral Board still must certify the election’s results. The winners will begin their two-year terms July 1.

public-health nurse in the Fairfax County Health District, has been named Public Health Nurse of the Year by the Virginia Department of Health. “Public-health nurses are some of the most resilient and resourceful members of the public-health team,� said State Health Commissioner Marissa Levine. “Laura demonstrates these characteristics by using her gifts of creativity and intellect to fashion solutions to public-health challenges in her community.� Suzuki leads the maternal and child health (MCH), immunization and car-seat programs in her health district. She is active in her community and serves on the Head Start policy council, Healthy Fairfax Families management group, National Association of County and City Health Officials MCH Advisory Workgroup and the School Readiness Collaborative Council. “Laura’s abilities to see the big picture, foster valuable relationships with stakeholders, identify what needs to be done and then lead the charge to see it through, exemplify the fierce spirit of public-health nurses,� Levine said. Suzuki also worked with the Nurse Family Partnership, a nurse-based homevisiting program for first-time mothers, to secure grant funds that provide home visiting services to medically underserved regions of Fairfax County. “Thanks to Laura’s vision and determination, an additional 100 families with young mothers at greatest risk for poor health outcomes are now being served by the home visiting program,� state health officials said.

Public-Safety Notes closely with detectives from police agencies in the Maryland counties of Howard and Montgomery, the city of Alexandria and Fairfax County, police on May 5 apprehended a 39-year-old Howard County, Md., man who is suspected of breaking into Subway restaurants all over the region. Fifteen such robberies occurred in Fairfax County, officials said. Following up on numerous leads, detectives identified the suspect and arrested him at around 1 a.m. on the premises of a Subway on Georgia Avenue in Montgomery County, Md. Authorities charged Demond Woodson with nine counts of burglary and nine counts of grand larceny in the Fairfax County cases, in addition to charges in the other jurisdictions. The suspect is being held in the Howard County, Md., jail. GREASE FIRE DAMAGES TYSONS EATERY; NO ONE HURT: The Fairfax County

Fire and Rescue Department on May 6 at 2:45 p.m. dispatched units responded to a fire China Wok restaurant, 8395 Leesburg Pike in Tysons Corner. Firefighters upon arrival encountered heavy black smoke coming from the roof and fire coming out of the restaurant’s ventilation ducts. Employees unsuccessfully attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher, officials said. Firefighters conducted an aggressive attack in the kitchen, roof and

ventilation areas and brought the fire under control in approximately 25 minutes. Firefighters also performed extensive overhaul and salvage operations throughout the restaurant. Approximately a dozen employees and customers escaped unharmed. Fire personnel evacuated about 20 employees and customers from adjoining businesses. The other businesses reopened at about 6 p.m. that day, but the restaurant remains closed. There were no injuries during the blaze, officials said. Officials estimate the fire caused $100,000 damage. According to fire investigators, the fire was caused accidentally by an uncontrolled grease fire in the kitchen. POLICE, EMERGENCY PERSONNEL AID STRICKEN MAN IN VIENNA: Vienna po-

lice dispatched an officer to Marshall Road Elementary School, 730 Marshall Road, S.W., on May 6 at 6:12 p.m. to assist Fairfax County Emergency Medical Services personnel, who were treating a man for a medical emergency. The man had driven up on the grassy area of the school, exited his vehicle and passed out on the ground, rescue personnel said. Emergency-services personnel transported the man to an area hospital for treatment. The police officer parked the man’s vehicle and contacted his wife, who made arrangements to pick it up, police said. EJECTED STUDENT THROWS ITEMS AT

TEACHER: An employee at Cedar Lane

School, 101 Cedar Lane, S.E., told Vienna police on May 7 at 8:58 a.m. that while he was conducting a classroom session, one of the students became verbally abusive. When the employee requested that the student leave the classroom, she began throwing items at him, police said. The employee was grazed by the items, but not injured during the incident, said police, who continue to investigate this case. POLICE DETERMINE FOX TOO INJURED TO LIVE: A resident living in the 600 block

of Spring Street, S.E., told Vienna police on May 2 at 6:41 a.m. that a fox had wandered into the resident’s back yard and appeared to be injured. A Vienna police officer responded and after locating the fox, he determined it could not be saved, police said. POLICE CONTACT LIMOUSINE COMPANY AFTER DRIVER’S ILLICIT TINKLE: A

resident living in the 200 block of Courthouse Road, S.W., told Vienna police on May 2 at 5:15 p.m. that he had observed a limousine driver urinating in the bushes. Vienna police contacted the owner of the limousine company, who stated he would speak with the driver, police said. WOMAN DEFRAUDED IN UTILITY SCAM IN VIENNA: A resident in the 300 block of

Maple Avenue, W., told Vienna police on May 5 at 4 p.m. that she had received a telephone call from a person claiming to work

with an electric company. The caller told the woman her electric bill was delinquent and if she did not make payment immediately, her electricity would be disconnected, police said. The caller instructed her to purchase a Green Dot card and call the caller back with the numbers to redeem the card. After purchasing the card and providing the numbers to the caller, the woman realized she had been scammed and telephoned Vienna police, who continue to investigate this case. Vienna police recently have received multiple reports of residents who have been called by people claiming to be employees of utility companies. The callers claim the residents are delinquent on their utility bills and unless they make payment, the utility will be disconnected. The callers usually request that payment be made in the form of a prepaid debit card. This type of call is a scam and residents never should send payments unless they have verified the validity of the callers, police said.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week

Country-Style Living in Great Falls

www.insidenova.com

Exceptional Ambiance, Verdant Surroundings Are Showcased

Sun Gazette

Our quest for the best in the local real estate scene this week brings us to the verdant surroundings of Great Falls, where a stylish country retreat set on more than six acres awaits our inspection. Privacy, quality and character are the three watchwords for this home, with its New England charm highlighting a pastoral lot that includes Difficult Run and Captain Hickory streams. Showcasing the character of an historic home, yet remodeled and enhanced to exacting standards, this property is a winning testament to elegance and warmth. The property currently is on the market, listed at $2,549,000 by Elizabeth Hajost of Long & Foster Real Estate. Surrounded by mature trees that provide shade as well as ambiance, the home offers exceptional curb appeal. As we tour the property, note that the current owners have invested approximately $1.25 million in improvements, from the glorious hardscape to a wonderful treehouse to two zip-lines, one for younger tykes and one for teens and the young at heart. Room sizes are large and traffic flow is designed to entertain in style. Special touches are found throughout the home, such as the coffered ceiling in the living room and the custom-cherry bookcases in the library. Windows are large and provide both natural sunlight and, from the living room and first-level master bedroom, offer exceptional views of the pool and patio area in the back of the home. That first-level master bedroom also

features a private patio, so you can enjoy the changing scenery in a world of exceptional serenity. (The master retreat also includes a new gas fireplace, and a private office is located adjacent to this space.) The kitchen is a standout, with topquality appliances and it opens to the grand family room and separate breakfast area. A screened-in porch is in this wing of the home, as well. A second bedroom is found on the main level, with four en-suite bedrooms on the second level. This upper level also is home to a large game room. A huge recreation room is the highlight of the remodeled lower level, which also features a fitness room, plentiful storage space and even a dog shower. Beautiful inside and out, the property is a celebration of the seasons and stylish

Facts for buyers Address: 985 Millwood Lane, Great Falls (22066). Listed at: $2,549,000 by Elizabeth Hajost, Long & Foster Realtors (703) 421-9448. Schools: Colvin Run Elementary, Cooper Middle, Langley High School.

Analysis of data collected for the Realtors Confidence Index shows the market share of all-cash purchases is on the rise, despite declines in distressed sales and investor activity, according to the National Association of Realtors. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, said the findings are counterintuitive. “Distressed home sales, most popular with investors who pay cash, have declined notably in the past two years, yet the share of all-cash purchases has risen,” he said. “At the same time, investors have declined as a market share, indicating other changes have been underway in the marketplace.” Distressed-home sales declined from 26 percent of the national market in 2012 to 17 percent in 2013 and 15 percent in the first quarter of this year; NAR projects distressed homes to drop to a single-digit market share by the fourth quarter. All-cash purchases rose from 29 percent in 2012 to 31 percent in 2013 and 33 percent in the first quarter of 2014. In Florida, more than half of all homes were purchased with cash. High levels of all-cash sales also were recorded in Nevada, Arizona and West Virginia, accounting for close to four out of 10 transactions. The findings, derived from a survey of about 3,000 responses each month for NAR’s Realtors Confidence Index, also show investors edged down from 20 percent of buyers in 2012 to 19 percent in both 2013 and the first quarter of this year. A separate annual study of consumers, NAR’s 2014 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey, shows investors at a somewhat higher market share, but declining more sharply from 24 percent in 2012 to 20 percent in 2013. “These findings beg the question as to why we’re seeing higher shares of cash purchases,” Yun said. “The restrictive mortgage-lending standards are a factor, but the higher levels of cash sales may also come from the aging of the Baby Boom generation, with more trade-down and retirement buyers paying cash with decades of equity accumulation.” In Florida, where more than half of buyers paid cash in 2012 and 2013, distressed home sales declined from nearly four in 10 purchases in 2012 to three in 10 during 2013, and investors edged down.

Public-Safety Notes MOTHER ARRESTED AFTER ARGUMENT WITH DAUGHTER TURNS PHYSICAL: A resident living in the 200 block

of Cedar Lane, S.E., told Vienna police on April 27 at 9:14 p.m. that she and her mother had been involved in a heated argument. The dispute escalated when the mother reportedly struck the daughter in the face, lacerating her lip, police said. A Vienna police officer responded and spoke with the mother and daughter. After speaking with the mother, the officer determined an assault had occurred and arrested the mother. Police transported the woman to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center, where she was released on an unsecured $2,500 bond. LANDSCAPER TALKS ELDERLY WOMAN INTO UNNECESSARY REPAIRS: A local

resident told Vienna police on April 28 reported that her elderly mother, who lives in the 500 block of Gibson Drive, S.W., had been the victim of a tree-cutting scam. The woman told police a person had arrived at her mother’s home unannounced and informed her that a tree on her property needed trimming and her roof needed repair. The daughter stated her mother wrote a check to the person, who then trimmed a few dead limbs from a tree in the rear of the house, but did not perform any work on the roof, which had been replaced approximately a year ago.

Vienna police continue to investigate this case. Police warn residents that if approached by workers soliciting repairs or landscape work at their residences, they should verify that the work is needed and request a written contract and proof that the company possess a valid town of Vienna solicitor’s permit. In most cases, the unsolicited workers are not reputable and will attempt to scam residents using intimidation, police said. UTILITY SCAMMER TRIES TO BURN TANNING-SALON EMPLOYEE: An em-

ployee at Caribbean Tan, 424 Maple Ave., E., told Vienna police on April 29 at 3 p.m. that she had received a telephone call from a person who claimed to be an employee of Pepco Electric. The caller informed the employee that the electric bill for the business was overdue and if not paid immediately, the electric service would be disconnected, police said. The caller told the woman to purchase a prepaid debit card to pay for the delinquent bill. When the employee attempted to purchase the debit card at a CVS drugstore, she was informed she had been the victim of a scam and should report the incident to the Vienna Police Department. Vienna police continue to investigate this case. DEAD RACCOON IN GREAT FALLS TESTS POSITIVE FOR RABIES: Fair-

fax County police dispatched an animalcontrol officer to the 500 block of Seneca Green Way in Great Falls on April 27 at

7:50 p.m. after receiving a report of a dog with a dead raccoon. The officer collected the raccoon, which subsequently tested positive for rabies. The dog was current on its rabies vaccination, police said. DIRECTED PATROLS RESULT IN 6 DWI ARRESTS: Officers from the Fairfax

County Police Department’s Operational Support Bureau conducted two directed patrols recently to search for drunk drivers. During the officers’ April 25 patrol, authorities charged four drivers with driving while intoxicated and issued 23 summonses. As a result of the officers’ April 26 directed patrol, authorities lodged DWI charges against two drivers and issued 19 summonses and eight warnings. VIENNA POLICE INVESTIGATE NEPHEW’S THREATS AGAINST UNCLE: A

resident living in the 1400 block of Cottage Street, S.W., told Vienna police that between May 7 at 10:05 p.m. and May 10 at 10:05 a.m., her father had been receiving death threats from his nephew. Vienna police continue to investigate this case. FALLS CHURCH HOME BURGLARIZED:

McLean Day Celebration Builds Community! As it approaches its 100th year, McLean Day holds a special place in the heart of the community. The annual outdoor festival has been a part of growing up and raising a family in McLean for many years. The event also holds fond memories for its organizers at the McLean Community Center (MCC), chiefly Sam A. Roberts III, who has worked to put the festival together for 25 years and who will be retiring early next year. McLean Day 2014: Celebrating Our Hometown will be held from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 17, at Lewinsville Park, 1659 Chain Bridge Road. The event is free and open to the public. McLean Day began as fundraiser for Franklin Sherman School in 1915, and was the first festival of its kind to be held in Fairfax County. The McLean School and Civic League and the McLean Volunteer Fire Department sponsored the event, which was held in an open field adjacent to the school. The festival went on for several weeks and was held before the Democratic Primary in August. Attractions in the early years included carnival games, a jousting tournament, a baby show, dancing, musical performances and homemade refreshments. Over the intervening years, the sponsorship of McLean Day passed from one community organization to the other, until 1975 when the MCC began to produce it. Roberts was hired as the director of special events in 1989, the same year the Center collaborated with community groups and finally moved McLean Day to its current home at Lewinsville Park. “I was charged with continuing the tradition and making the festival better,” said Roberts. “In the early days, there were six people who helped make McLean Day what is it today: Frank Opeka, Tommy Lukas, Carol Lukas, Lila Asar, Mary Anne Hampton and Trisha Hamilton. Their combined ideas and creativity helped me to enlarge the festival.” Tommy Lukas, who served as master of ceremonies of the McLean Day stage from 1989 to 2011, is featured on the cover of MCC’s Summer 2014 Program Guide. Roberts’ staff, which includes Special Events Coordinator Peggy Moore and Special Events Assistant Nadia Kader, works all year on the event, which attracts as many as 15,000 people. One other person also helped Roberts refine the festival over the years: his daughter, Mandy. “My daughter is now 26, but she grew up at McLean Day and was my best critic. She helped me see what children of various ages wanted in a festival,” he said. Roberts said he gets pleasure and a sense of accomplishment for his efforts when he sees family members laughing and happy. “When I see a father with his son on his shoulders and a mother holding hands with her daughter as they leave, I know we have met our goal of providing a familyfriendly, safe experience; one that provides a sense of pride in our community. This is truly a gift to our tax district.” For more information, contact the Center at (703) 790-0123 or visit www.mcleancenter.org/special-events.

Food, Fun and Games to Highlight Celebration

A 99-Year History McLean Day began in 1915 when the McLean School and Civic League sponsored a festival to raise funds for school and community projects. The first McLean Day was held in a field adjacent to Franklin Sherman School and featured a jousting contest. Various community organizations sponsored McLean Day, until MCC began producing the festival in the mid-1970s. It moved to its current home at Lewinsville Park in 1988, due to an expansion at MCC and an increase in the number of participants. Next year, the festival will turn 100 and it has only gotten better with age.

McLean Day this year. Just one of the many large carnival rides provided by Reithoffer Shows, Vertigo will be joined by the Orbiter, the Zipper, Full Tilt, Pharaoh’s Fury, Starship 3000 and bumper cars. Unlimited ticket wristbands will be available for $15 at the sales booth from 10:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets must be purchased with cash only. The large carousel rides and slides are free. There are also free children’s rides located throughout the park, including a special area called the KidZone Midway, which has small, mechanical rides and bounces for toddlers and small children.

Enjoy ‘Eatery Row’ Merrifield’s own Blackfinn Ameripub is coming to McLean Day. The restaurant will serve haddock, barbecue and turkey burger sliders, along with their famous fries. Food vendors are located all around the park and they are selling everything from entrees (skewered chicken, beef, barbecue ribs, turkey legs, hot dogs, pizza, crab cake sandwiches) to snacks (kettle corn, French fries, popcorn, chips) to sweet treats (funnel cakes, cotton candy, sorbet, ice cream, candy apples, cupcakes) to beverages (soda, smoothies, coffee, lemonade, ice tea, water).

Plenty of Rides

Lots of Laughs

Vertigo, a large ride that swings riders high in the air, will make its debut at

The Alden has lined up a variety of entertainers for the McLean Day stage. Capi-

tol Steps cast member Traci Stephens will be the master of ceremonies. Crowd favorites, Mutts Gone Nuts will return to perform their comic routines and comedian Brian Curry will share his unique brand of interactive humor. The McLean High School Jazz Ensemble will perform music of the classic big band era as well as contemporary pieces. Young dancers who are enrolled in the Center’s Joy of Dance classes will begin and end the day with group performances. At 3 p.m., the McLean Citizens Association will present its annual Teen Character Award.

Governing Board Candidates Make the Case to Voters Five candidates have emerged for the three open adult seats on the McLean Community Center Governing Board, while the races for youth members of the board also have picked up a healthy amount of competition. The board sets policy and provides general oversight for facilities and programs of the McLean Community Center, including the Alden Theatre and the Old Firehouse Teen Center. While members of the Governing Board formally are appointed by the Board of Supervisors, those appointments are based on the outcome of the election. Residents of Dranesville Small District 1A are eligible to cast their ballots during McLean Day (May 17) from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Lewinsville Park. Absentee voting ran from April 14 to May 14. Candidates who are appointed to adult positions will serve three-year terms. Youth candidates, one from the McLean High School boundary area and one from the Langley High School boundary area, serve one-year terms. (Youth candidates do not have to attend these schools to serve on the board.) Write-in candidates are allowed., but must achieve at least 10 votes to be counted. Each candidate was asked to provide a personal statement of candidacy. They are reproduced below (with minor editing for style issues by the Sun Gazette staff): ADULT CANDIDATES: Thomas F. Donnelly: I decided to run for the McLean Community Center Gov-

erning Board to become more involved in community affairs. I have been a resident of McLean for 23 years and have served on the board of directors for McLean Little League since 1996 and as the league’s chief umpire for the past 17 years. I have been active in community affairs, serving for six years as the president of the McLean Estates Homeowners Association and am currently with McEnearney Associates in the McLean office. I have been married to my wife, Joan, for 35 years and have one son, Evan. Sean A. Dunn: Over the last nine years, with the full support of my family, I’ve been elected by the McLean community to serve on the MCC Governing Board on three successive occasions. As chairman, treasurer and in other roles, I have helped MCC restrain growth in expenses, negotiate with a key developer over options for downtown McLean, and liaise with our visual programming partner, McLean Project for the Arts. I have led or supported initiatives to plan more strategically, manage a burgeoning cash reserve, and reduce the tax rate multiple times. I humbly offer my candidacy one last time and hope to win your vote. Deborah S. Sanders: Since 1982, I’ve been a resident of McLean District 1A and have a long history of serving the community. During this time, my family and I participated in many classes and community activities at MCC. I’ve served as president of Franklin Sherman PTSA and was on the PTSA of Cooper and Langley. I am a “veteran” of McLean Little League and served

on the MLL Board for five years. I’m a loan officer with Everbank. My daughter, Hilary, served on the MCC board as the Langley High School representative. Now it’s my turn to serve. Thank you for your vote. Lathan Turner: I moved to McLean in 2006 while an officer in the U.S. Air Force assigned to the Pentagon. I fell in love with McLean because of its strong sense of community. When I left active duty and became a strategy consultant, it was an easy decision to settle here permanently. As a board member, I will protect and promote the programs, facilities, and the center’s impressive schedule of events. I want to ensure that the McLean Community Center remains a viable and vibrant venue that serves all of our residents. I respectfully ask for your vote! Chad Quinn: When I take my family to a show at The Alden, a gallery opening, pick my girls up from dance class, and even when I am knee-deep in MCC budget spreadsheets, I remark how lucky I am and how much I love serving this community! I thank my fellow board members for electing me chair of the McLean Community Center Governing Board. Our work together advocates for ALL the interests of our diverse community. We are delivering tangible results today. I am asking for your vote to continue working with my peers to finish what we started. YOUTH CANDIDATES: Nathaniel Buchwald (McLean High School area): I have loved every minute of my childhood in McLean. It has been a great place for me to grow up. Because it has been so good to me, I want to give back to the community so that others can enjoy it as I have. The McLean Community Center is a foundation of this fantastic community, and working on the governing board would be a great way to give back to McLean. If elected to the board, I will do everything in my power to make sure that the MCC continues to be a center of activities in McLean. Devika Chadha (McLean High School area): As a resident of McLean, a sophomore at McLean High School, I am qualified to be elected to the board. I have many happy memories of our community, whether it was taking dance or art or being a girl scout. I want to create the same and give back to our community, because being involved is important. My special interests include the arts and how they are showcased in our community. Additionally, I am involved with the Tartan Literary Magazine, Red Cross Club, Latin Club, and have organized a local toy drive for Inova. Thank you for your consideration. Madison Kloster (McLean High School area): I would like to serve on the McLean Community Center Board as the McLean High School representative because I have always been interested in leadership. This would be a tremendous opportunity for me to try out a leadership position, which would prepare me better for the future. I would be a beneficial addition to the MCC board, because I am a youth and could represent their interests at MCC. I am also attentive and creative and could bring new ideas to MCC and will help as much as I can to make MCC better.

Aneesh Susarla (McLean High School area): I am a sophomore at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology, and as an active and involved member of the McLean community, am running to be a student representative on the MCC board. My past leadership roles and experiences will allow me to assist the board in meeting the objectives. I have already served the community in many ways, such as tutoring kids, volunteering, and participating in events. I am passionate about this opportunity and the position will allow me to help even more people in our district. I am keen about giving back to the community that has given me the opportunities to succeed. Amanda Whitfield (McLean High School area): Growing up in McLean has been a safe and nurturing experience. I am a junior at McLean High School. I play varsity basketball, serve as a freshman mentor, and also coach a McLean Youth basketball team. I am running for this position because I would like to have a voice in this great community where I have been so privileged to grow up and it is my responsibility to help improve the McLean community. Also, I believe that I can be an exceptional liaison to help voice the youth’s ideas when working with other individuals. Tarun Kamath (Langley High School area): I am a sophomore currently attending Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology. I have lived in McLean for over 10 years, and I have a good understanding of the community interactions. I also do volunteer work around the community: I participated in the annual flea market and tutored at my local elementary school. I also participate in Policy Debate, which specializes in the discussion of the pros and cons of policy making, a skill I hope to utilize on the MCC. I am committed to use MCC forum to help in getting schools involved in science, technology, engineering and mathematics projects and competitions.

Towlston Road Closing for Work, Upcoming Bridge Replacement In preparation for the replacement of Towlston Road Bridge in McLean this summer, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will close the road from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 19 through 21 so Virginia Dominion Power can complete its utility work. Through traffic will be detoured via Old Dominion Drive and Georgetown Pike, officials said. VDOT also will close a portion of Towlston Road this summer to rebuild the bridge over Rocky Run while Fairfax County schools are on summer break. Crews will close the road to through traffic June 25 and open the new bridge in late August, officials said. Plans were under way to replace the original 1949 bridge when it was washed out by Tropical Storm Lee in September 2011. Under an emergency contract, crews built five steel-pipe culverts as a temporary structure to re-open the road to traffic as soon as possible. The current crossing is sound, but lacks the hydraulic capacity to handle high water during storms, officials said. In addition to the bridge replacement, the project will include the addition of 2 feet of shoulder on each side, aesthetic treatments on the bridge’s railings and abutments, stream restoration to stabilize Rocky Run and guide the creek through the restored opening, and overhead and

underground utility coordination. During the summer construction, through traffic will use the same detour. The $1 million project is being completed by Shirley Contracting Co. See more project details online at http://www. virginiadot.org/projects/northernvirginia/ towlston_road.asp.

Tickets on Sale For Discussion of Phillips Collection Tickets are available for the McLean Project for the Arts’ June 4 discussion by Dr. Susan Frank, curator of the “Made in the USA: American Masters from the Phillips Collection, 1850-1970.” The event will be held at the Alden Theatre of the McLean Community Center at 7 p.m. Frank will discuss the current exhibition at the Phillips Collection, exploring the “rich diversity and multiplicity of voices” assembled by Duncan Phillips. Tickets are free, but are required. A $10 donation at the door to support McLean Project for the Arts is appreciated. For information, see the Web site at www.mpaaart.org.

Sgt. Arturo Sylmar, pictured next to Vienna Police Chief James Morris, on April 2 received the 2014 Vienna Police Officer of the Year award from American Legion Post 180. PHOTO FROM VIENNA POLICE

American Legion Post 180 in Vienna honored Sgt. Arturo “Art� Sylmar as the post’s 2014 Vienna Police Officer of the Year during a banquet and awards ceremony April 2. Sylmar is a 15-year veteran of the Vienna Police Department and was promoted to sergeant in 2013. His experience as a police officer, and his aptitude for recognizing an individual’s abilities, have been instrumental to the department, officials said. The results of this experience have led to the arrests and convictions of many suspects involved in the use and trafficking of illegal narcotics, Vienna police said. Sylmar was nominated for the award by Lt. David Pelto, who wrote in his nomina-

tion letter that Sylmar “knows how to motivate younger officers and veterans alike. His aptitude and energy are crucial to building solid, well-rounded officers.�

At Six for Saxons DAVE STEINBACHER For the Sun Gazette

With two more victories last week, the Langley Saxons stayed hot by upping their winning streak to six games in boys high school soccer action and ran their unbeaten string to 11. Langley, which lost its first game of the season, blanked the Chantilly Chargers, 1-0, then SOCCER nipped visiting South Lakes, 3-2, on May 8 in last week’s contests to improve to 9-1-2 overall. Against South Lakes, Langley led 1-0 at halftime in a physical contest. South Lakes tied the score at 1 early in the second half, then Langley answered with the next two goals to move in front 3-1. Langley had defeated Chantilly the night before. “I was concerned about fatigue after the Chantilly game, but our kids are doing well this season,” Langley coach Bo Amato said. Scoring Langley’s first-half goal against South Lakes was junior Daniel Levetown. “Shayan Harandi had the ball in midfield. He played a through ball to Max McKee. Then McKee crossed it to Onur Marsan, who headed it, and I was able to run in and tap it in from close range,” Levetown said.

Langley had 15 hits. Jordan Lopez had three hits. McSteen, Brandon Day, Felix Propp, J.B. Carton and Patrick AmanoDolan (three RBI) all had two hits. Langley lost to South Lakes, 12-2, the night before and defeated Yorktown, 112, a couple of days earlier. Both games were on the road. Langley had 11 hits against Yorktown and junior Lukas Truex (2-1) went the distance on the mound, allowing no earned runs. He gave up six hits, walked two and fanned eight. With the bat, Nick Casso went 2 for 3 with a double and an RBI. Also, Day, J.T. Edwards, Propp and Brian Anderson had doubles.

n The Marshall Statesmen (10-6, 7-0) closed the door early on the Lee Lancers in an 11-0 home victory for their eighth win in a row on May 9. Marshall leads the Capitol Conference 13 standings with a 7-0 record. Marshall junior catcher Mitch Blackstone set the tone with a line-drive, tworun home run over the center-field fence in the first inning for his third homer this season. Blackstone added a walk and a ringing RBI double in the fourth inning, and he scored three runs. Marshall junior right-hander Will Brooke shut out the Lancers in all five

Very few players wear their baseball socks high anymore, instead breaking with tradition by opting for a less appealing and far less colorful long-pants look. As for pitchers, complete games, especially on the professional level, are becoming about as rare as hitting for the cycle. A quality start for a nine-inning game is now considered six or seven innings, and four or five for seveninning contests. Plus, a strict pitch-count paranoia that so many now follow has resulted in an effort to prevent are injuries. Yet, pitchers’ arms on all age-levels have become weaker, more fragile and tender than ever. So how’s that working out? Then there is the horrible new look to some of those once pretty infields, at least on the amateur level. The overseers of more and more fields have replaced the traditional skinned portion of infields by having only dirt cutouts around the three bases. Meaning, there is much more infield grass on those diamonds. The reason for the switch is all about upkeep. With less dirt to rake and drag, plus to dry when it rains, field maintenance is easier. By raking around each base a bit, infields are ready to go. With more grass and less dirt, games can be played in wet conditions than otherwise could not. So there are advantages to the cutouts. But the nontradtional look stinks and leaves a bizarre image. Here’s another issue with having more grass on the infields. Worn spots where the four infielders stand, shuffle their feet and creep during games and practices start appearing, often quickly. When the weather is wet, which certainly has been the case this spring, those worn spots become bigger and grow faster and wider. Once that happens, an ugly and torn green/brown/tan polka-dot look results on many of those infields, leaving an additional four dirt spots along with the three cutouts. Our national pastime has become a different looking game.

Langley High School senior lefthander Jake McSteen was a strikeout machine with 18 BASEBALL Ks against the host Hayfield Hawks on May 10 in an 11-2 win for the Saxons (11-7, 5-1). The Nebraska-bound pitcher (6-0, 0.326 earned run average) worked all seven innings and threw 98 pitches in the high school baseball game. The two runs were unearned, he walked one, and allowed four hits. In the fourth inning, McSteen struck out four batters, because on a strikeout-passed ball situation a runner reached first.

close, low-scoring game with two star right-handers on the mound, the May 9 Liberty Conference contest became a one-sided result. The host Madison Warhawks (16-2) scored five runs in the first inning en route to an 11-3 victory over the McLean Highlanders (9-9). Madison won its seventh straight. Both teams had nine hits, but the Warhawks were able to string more productive hits together to remain undefeated in conference play. Madison was 3-0 last week.

In the loss, Katie Kerrigan and Kierra Sweeney each scored three goals for Madison. In the win over Fairfax, the teams traded goals for the first five minutes, but momentum shifted to the Warhawks when they seized a three-goal edge, 7-4, at the 10-minute mark.

ahead goal and a 2-1 lead. “I ran to the corner and hit it,” Labovitz said. Said Marsan: “Jacob made a good cross. I made sure that I ran through the ball and I was able to finish it.” A little more than 10 minutes later, Langley went up 3-1 as Harandi drilled a longdistance shot into the back of the net. “It was kind of a flash,” Harandi said

of his first varsity goal. “A header came out from their defenders. I just followed up on it. I hit it as hard as I could.” A late South Lakes goal made the final score, 3-2. “In the second half, we came alive and played well offensively and defensively,” Marsan said. “We hit them on the break a few times.” Leading Langley’s defense were Samuel Golan, Oliver Zufall, Taylor Hosley

and Erik Swayne. Cole Stinger was in goal for Langley until he left the game with a head injury. With the end of the regular season drawing near, Amato is looking ahead to the Liberty Conference 6 tournament. “In Conference 6, everybody is very good,” Amato said. On the season, Harandi has seven goals, Labovitz has six and Levetown three to lead the Saxons.

Items taken from the archives of the Northern Virginia Sun. May 14, 1958: n At a press conference, President Eisenhower sent mixed signals on whether he would send federal troops to Virginia to enforce integration of schools. n The Sun reported a 29-percent increase in advertising sales in April, even as the newspaper industry as a whole saw declining totals. May 16, 1966: n The Fairfax County Housing Authority has set a three-year-minimum residency requirement on county residents seeking to move into public housing. n Plans to almost double the amount of parking at National Airport have been unveiled by the FAA. n Langley topped Jefferson, 3-1, in baseball action. May 14, 1967: n The Board of Supervisors passed an entertainment tax as part of its $323 million budget package for fiscal 1968. n A pair of thieves stole two ounces of hashish from a display maintained by the Fairfax County Police Department. May 14, 1977: n Lady Bird Johnson was the guest of honor at a recent political fund-raiser for her son-in-law, Chuck Robb. n The School Board has decided to allow teacher unions to send material through the school mail service, but will charge them for the privilege. n Fairfax officials want Congress to give the county a “strong voice” in the operation of Dulles and National airports. n Oakton, McLean and Langley all came up short in yesterday’s baseball action. May 15, 1989: n Fairfax Republicans want an investigation into why Board of Supervisors Chairman Audrey Moore didn’t disclose a $6,500 contribution from a developer during the 1987 campaign. Moore said it was an “oversight.” n Attorneys for some of the 39 prisoners on Virginia’s death row expect the pace of executions to pick up significantly over the next 12 months. n Tourism is down in D.C., with many Smithsonian museums seeing big drops and attendance down 59 percent at the Lincoln Memorial. n A Sun columnist says Channel 9’s Glenn Brenner is “far and away the best” sportscaster in the D.C. area.
