Co. Board, Staff Rapped on Salt-Dome Plan REAL ES Temporary Relocation Draws Flak from Neighbors of Old Dominion Drive Facility SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

While simultaneously trying to disentangle themselves from a wave of vocal neighborhood discontent, Arlington County Board members on July 18 agreed

to move forward with a temporary relocation of the government’s salt dome that had precipitated the angry community reaction.

The 5-0 vote was on a merely procedural motion – setting a public hearing on the matter for late September – but given

the immediate need to replace the existing salt-store facility, it effectively cleared the way for county staff to begin moving immediately on the project.

“We have to move forward. There is not a ‘no-action’ alternative,” sighed board member Erik Gutshall, who like his col-

leagues had been inundated in days leading up to the vote with complaints from neighbors of the Old Dominion Drive facility, demanding they find another way to address the issue.

Seniors Assist Arlington Mill with Beautification The plaza outside Arlington Mill Community Center is a little more visually appealing this summer, courtesy a new initiative from local seniors.

It’s only a start – some plants and foliage strategically placed to benefit from the morning sun – but the future will bring an expansion.

“Our goal next year is permanent containers and a much bigger display,” said David Gray, who leads the Arlington Mill Senior Advisory Committee. The group’s gardening subcommittee, which Gray also heads, spearheaded the beautification effort.

“This is just the beginning, not the end,” said Gray. “We have a lot of further stuff to do.”

The planting effort was done in partnership with the Arlington office of Virginia Cooperative Extension, which provided advice on which plants to select.

Kirsten Conrad of Virginia Cooperative Extension said the plantings help to liven up the plaza and provide other ben-

efits.

“This is such an important thing to do, especially out here where it’s so hot,” Conrad said as the sun beat down on a mid-summer midday.

The county government’s Office of Senior Adult Programs also provided support for the effort.

Nick Englund, director of the Arlington Mill Senior Center, said members of the center’s advisory group select projects that benefit everyone, but especially those in the 55+ age group.

“It brings seniors together over the joy of gardening,” Englund said of the planting effort. “It builds community and enhances our program here.”

The five-story Arlington Mill Community Center, an anchor facility on the western end of Columbia Pike near the Fairfax County border, is set to celebrate its fifth anniversary later this year. The outdoor plaza sits atop the facility’s parking garage.

Members of the Arlington Mill Senior Advisory Committee worked with Virginia Cooperative Extension and staff of the Arlington Mill Community Center to provide flowers and other plantings on the plaza of the center, located on the western end of Columbia Pike. Further efforts are slated for 2019.

County Officials Consider Revamping Zoning for Pools SCOTT McCAFFREY

he said. “We absolutely want to consult with the community, but we need to move forward.”

The initiative was precipitated by plans of Macedonia Baptist Church to renovate and return to use a large pool in Nauck that had been owned by Veterans Memorial YMCA. The effort to get necessary governmental approvals appears to have frustrated church leaders, and led county staff to take a look at existing zoning regulations for pools.

The zoning rules, now nearly 70 years old, could “benefit from some additional flexibility,” said Nick Rogers, a planner with the government’s Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development.

“We are prepared to begin work immediately,” Rogers told County Board members on July 17.

The survey will look at issues such as setbacks, lot coverage, parking and screening. Any pools that end up out of conformance with any new regulations likely would find themselves grandfathered in.

Several County Board members said it was important to allow for versatility in zoning regulations, so individual issues could be addressed on an as-needed basis.

Out-of-date regulations seldom provide for that, Cristol said.

“We sometimes discover that our own tools are obstacles,” she said.

New Elementary Is Still $6 Million Above Budget

Join the Movement.

Live Happier . ®

A drawing by VMDO Architecture shows the planned new elementary school to be constructed next to Westover Library.

SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Cost-control efforts for a new Arlington elementary school thus far have provided some options, but the current design plan remains about SCHOOL $6 million higher the original $49 BOARD than million estimate.

Architects on NOTES July 17 rolled out a proposed schematic design for the new elementary school to be built adjacent to Westover Library at Washington Boulevard and North McKinley Road. The school, as yet unnamed, will accommodate about 725 students.

Two construction estimates provided at the School Board meeting peg the projected cost at $54.11 million and $54.99 million. That, coupled with the possibility that construction costs will rise due to an international trade war, “makes me a little nervous,” said School Board Chairman Reid Goldstein.

“We have to be very efficient – I’m very concerned about cost control,” Goldstein said July 17, echoing comments he made in the spring (before becoming chairman) when he pressed to keep the cost at its original $49 million budget.

Architects laid out a number of potential cost-saving measures, including replacing some of the steel construction with durable wood. Final cost estimates are slated to be made in the fall, when a range of cost-saving options could be considered.

The school is slated to open in 2021.

Arlington voters will be asked to supply most of the construction funding as part of the school system’s $103 million bond referendum.

The schematic design is slated for School Board approval in early August, and the project is likely to go to the County Board for site-plan approval in November.

James Schroll, a member of the county government’s Public Facilities Review Committee, said that advisory panel (and the building-level planning committee working on the project) are largely supportive of the design.

Remaining concerns are “relatively minor,” Schroll said, but do include questions about accessing the parking lot.

The adjacent Westover Library will re-

main open during what is likely to be a two-year construction period.

Arlington School System Aiming for Compliance on Tdap Vaccines: Arlington school officials aim to replicate last year’s perfect record when it comes to middleschoolers arriving the first day of class with all their immunizations.

State law requires incoming sixth-graders to have received the Tdap vaccine by the start of school, which for Arlington this year will be Sept. 4.

“Last year, we were at 100-percent [compliance] and we’ve been pretty close to 99 percent each of the previous years,” Superintendent Patrick Murphy told School Board members.

The vaccine offers protection against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, also known as whooping cough.

Most students receive their vaccines through family physicians, but the county government’s public-health office does offer them on Tuesdays afternoons and Wednesday and Friday mornings at 2100 Washington Blvd.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, before vaccines, as many as 200,000 cases of diphtheria, 200,000 cases of pertussis and hundreds of cases of rabies were reported annually across the country. Vaccinations have cut the cases of tetanus and diphtheria by about 99 percent and pertussis by nearly 80 percent.

The inoculation is not without its side effects: Federal officials estimate that about 75 percent of adolescents will feel pain, 20 percent will see redness or swelling, 30 percent to 40 percent will experience headaches, 25 percent will deal with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or stomach aches, and about 10 percent will experience chills or sore joints. More severe reactions are described as rare, federal health officials said.

For Some Students, Return to Classes Is Sooner Than Others: Most Arlington students have more than a month left to go for their summer vacations, but students at Barcroft Elementary School are nearly headed back to class.

Barcroft classes resume on Aug. 6, part of a modified year-round schedule.

For most other Arlington publicschool students, school resumes Tuesday, Sept. 4. The first day for new teachers is Aug. 19, while returning teachers are expected to report Aug. 23.

Candidate Again Raps W-L Renaming Proposal

Clement Calls School Board Members ‘Racist’ for Their Failure to Address Achievement Gap SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington School Board candidate Audrey Clement is ratcheting up the rhetoric in her criticism of that body’s decision to rename WashingtonLee High School.

“The School Board ought to be ashamed,” Clement said at a July 14 meeting of the County Board, where she is a frequent speaker during the “citizen-comment” period that precedes official business.

School Board members

Audrey Clement

in early June ratified a staff proposal to strip the name of Robert E. Lee off Arlington’s oldest high school, replacing it with something to be determined later.

The decision drew flak because it circumvented the school system’s own timetable for decision-making, fasttracking a vote because (critics argue) School Board members felt they were losing the public-relations war to advocates supporting retention of the name.

Clement in November will

face off against first-term School Board member Barbara Kanninen, who until the end of June chaired the board and was perceived to be the main, perhaps lone, driving force behind the name change.

Four years ago, Kanninen (who has the Democratic endorsement) also faced Clement (a frequent candidate for political office) and beat her by a 2-to-1 margin.

At the July 14 meeting, Clement blasted the renaming effort as both unnecessarily divisive and an effort to avoid

confronting bigger issues.

“It is racist to dredge up Civil War history to divert attention from the real issue – namely, Arlington’s minority-student-achievement gap,” she said. “It is racist to spawn racial division where none existed before.”

Clement previously complained that the School Board was being inconsistent by dumping “Lee” but retaining the names of slaveholders like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson on its buildings.

Vihstadt’s Current Cash Advantage May Be Illusory SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The difference may not effectively be as much as it seems, but County Board candidate John Vihstadt holds a significant cash-on-hand advantage over his Democratic challenger, according to new state data.

At the end of June, Vihstadt had a campaign-coffers balance of $99,870 – the highest he has ever reported – and had taken in just over $89,000 in donations this year, according to figures filed with the Virginia Department of Elections.

Vihstadt’s Democratic challenger, Matt de Ferranti, ended the reporting period with $32,985 on hand, and took in $66,217 in donations through the year (albeit much of it prior to the Democratic primary of June 12, in which de Ferranti defeated Chanda Choun).

Under different circumstances, the significant cash-on-hand gap might signal that Vihstadt, who is seeking a second four-year term as an independent in November, had the campaign well in hand.

But de Ferranti will benefit significantly from the Arlington County Democratic Committee, both in terms of fund-raising and get-out-the-vote muscle.

As of June 30, the Democratic committee counted about $102,000 in its coffers, although some of that is used to pay the party’s operating expenses. DDemocrats have ramped up a number of fund-raising initiatives on behalf of their Joint Campaign, which works to support all local 4

July 26, 2018

Democrats on the Arlington ballot.

Running as an independent, Vihstadt has no major source of political-party funding, although the Arlington County Republican Committee could potentially contribute funds.

Vihstadt first won a special election in the spring of 2014, then won the general election later that year, becoming the first non-Democrat to serve on the County Board in 15 years.

Vihstadt Picks Up Firefighters’ Endorsement: The Arlington Professional Firefighters and Paramedics Association has endorsed County Board member John Vihstadt for re-election.

“Our union shares John Vihstadt’s spending priorities of core services first,” said Brian Lynch, president of the organization, who praised Vihstadt’s efforts in 2016 to secure additional firefighter positions and in 2018 to improve compensation and scheduling.

“Vihstadt recognizes today’s competitive marketplace, and his leadership was key in helping us to make up some lost ground,” Lynch said.

The firefighters’ group, an affiliate of the International Association of Fire Fighters and the AFL-CIO, previously endorsed Vihstadt in his first bid for office four years ago.

(In Virginia, organizations representing public-sector workers are prohibited from collective bargaining or striking, so they operate more as professional organizations than as unions in the traditional sense.)

Vihstadt, who won special and general elections in 2014 to become the first non-Democrat to serve on the County Board since 1999, is being challenged by Democrat Matt de Ferranti in the Nov. 6

John Vihstadt

election.

Democrat Gets Endorsement of Progressive Group: The activist group Indivisible Arlington has endorsed Democrat Matt de Ferranti for County Board.

De Ferranti “has a forward-thinking plan for our community and knows how to move us in the right direction in Arlington,” said Dave Robeck, a spokesman for the organization. “Matt’s values are aligned with our progressive values of inclusion, equality and respect for all. He will help us grow economically so that all Arlingtonians benefit.”

Indivisible Arlington is a local chapter of a national organization formed after the 2016 presidential election. Locally, it claims more than 1,800 members.

De Ferranti is challenging incumbent independent County Board member John Vihstadt.

Beyer Has Big Cash Advantage Over Challenger: U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) entered the meat of the summer months with a 350-to-1 cash-on-hand advantage

www.insidenova.com

over his Republican challenger.

In filings with the Federal Election Commission, Beyer’s campaign committee reported $905,112.74 on hand at the end of June, while Republican Thomas Oh reported $2,577.64 on hand.

(Take away a $5,000 loan Oh gave to his campaign, and the Republican challenger actually would be under water from a campaign-finance perspective.)

For the first half of the year, Beyer’s campaign took in about $1.59 million and spent $1.41 million, about half of it going to other political candidates or campaign committees. During the same period, Oh received $12,355 in contributions and made $14,777.36 in expenditures.

‘Dollars for Democrats’ Effort Returns for 2018: Penmanship may be a lost art in some quarters, but it remains a key component of Arlington Democrats’ efforts to bring in cash.

The annual “Dollars for Democrats” effort is a decidedly low-tech, high-touch approach to fund-raising, and over the past 20 years, “it hasn’t changed – because it works,” said Warren Nelson, who co-chairs the efforts.

The concept is simple: Members of the Democratic rank-and-file hand-address boxes of about 300 campaign mailers, which later this campaign season will be mailed out (with actual postage stamps) to approximately 15,000 local residents.

“We get a very good return,” said Nelson. “People who get a hand-addressed envelope don’t throw it away.”

The party set an all-time record in 2012 by bringing in nearly $40,000 through the effort. The goal this off-year election season is to approach $30,000.

Nelson is co-chairing the initiative with Karla Hagan and Bobby Connelly.

Highs & Lows WE HAVE DECIDEDLY MIXED FEELINGS over last week’s tempest related to the relocation of the county’s salt-storage dome from one part of a parcel on Old Dominion Drive to another.

And unfortunately, given that readers know we like to hold strong opinions, our viewpoint breaks down to an “on-the-one-hand/onthe-other-hand” monologue.

On the one hand, the deteriorating salt dome needs to be replaced, soon, and it seems reasonable for the county government to set up a temporary structure nearby, to tide the community over through winter while taking the time to determine a long-range plan.

Given that, it might seem that local residents went a little over the top in their vocal objections to what has transpired.

But on the other hand (sorry), residents of the adjacent communities long have felt betrayed by the county government, which has taken a willy-nilly approach to the 7.5-acre parcel that sits in their neighborhood. One day it’s proposed for a park, the next day the county government wants to drop a fire station on it, the next day that’s off . . . all the while, there is no effort made to determine a long-term future for the tract.

On July 18, in taking action that effectively allows the salt-dome

switcheroo to take place, County Board members attempted to channel the public criticism onto county staff. And while some perhaps belongs there, this really is a failure of those in elected office to take the bull by the horns and determine what the site will be used for over the long term.

We understand the skittishness of county leaders – making a decision would foreclose the possibility of flexibility at a site that might be needed for something else down the road. But given what neighbors have put up with over the years, the time really has come to determine the parcel’s long-term future, eliminating the uncertainty.

House Democrats Need to Dump Pelosi Editor: This is an open letter to U.S. Rep. Don Beyer.

Like most voters in the 8th Congressional District, I am sickened on a nearly daily basis by the travesty of this presidential administration and its support by a corrupt and cowardly Republican-led congress. Failure to remove the GOP from House leadership this fall sentences our nation to two more years of destructive politics of the worst kind.

I know you know this, sir.

Here is why I write to you today:

Nancy Pelosi. She’s been party leader for a long time, and while we could debate her legislative successes, what is not debatable is that under her leadership the most corrupt and incompetent man in our history was elected president. She is unpopular in all but the bluest districts and she is hurting (y)our party.

Moreover, fairly or otherwise, she has become a “bogeyman” to the other side – a polarizing figure used to engender passion (and dollars) from a Republican base that hates her.

Yes, she is an important historical

figure, but she has had her time. I fear that her ego is clouding her judgment and sense of right and wrong.

For the good of her party and the entire country, she should gracefully step down as Democratic leader. I speak for many in my community when I implore you to push for her resignation.

Celebrate her. Throw her a party if you want. But get her out of the leadership role before she is forced out amidst the shame of another Trump victory.

Zachary Rodman Arlington

Editor: School Board candidate Audrey Clement’s zealotry [“Candidate Raps School for W-L Renaming Hypocrisy,” June 14] suggests the name “Washington,” as in D.C. and the monument, should itself be history, but she does nail the School Board’s hypocrisy.

The shamelessly selective demonization of Robert E. Lee has been transparently inflated by school officials, while

the Founding Fathers’ culpability for the institution and practice of slavery was cynically diminished and temporarily deemed forgivable and irrelevant. It was a case of premeditated hypocrisy on steroids to deny Lee an ounce of moral comparability to slavery practitioners who were, conveniently, given a pass.

I have already pointed out the School Board could choose possible conciliation over certain polarization by re-

naming the school for Richard Henry Lee. Egged on by Clement’s hatred of George Washington, I hereby suggest the left side of the hyphenated name honor Booker T. Not sure where “Generals” would fit in, but thousands already hold diplomas and trophies identifiable with the school that issued them.

School Board’s Hypocrisy Has Been on Full Display

Renaming Washington-Lee an Affront to Its Graduates Editor: I’m a member of the WashingtonLee High School Class of 1966. I left Arlington right after I graduated to move to my dad’s next Air Force duty station, and I haven’t lived in Northern Virginia for the past 50 years. But Wash-

ington-Lee still occupies a special place in my heart and it always will. I will always be proud of being a graduate of Washington-Lee. I look back often and bring to mind the several teachers there whom I remember with respect and appreciation.

I don’t look back and think they should have had a different name or ask them to change who they were.

I implore you to keep the school’s name the same.

Arlington Notes PHOENIX HOUSE DIRECTOR HONORED WITH STATE AWARD: Deborah

Simpson Taylor, executive director of Phoenix House Mid-Atlantic, has been chosen as this year’s recipient of the Visionary Leadership Award presented at the Virginia Summer Institute for Addiction Studies.

The award is given to an individual who has demonstrated significant leadership and contribution to the substanceabuse prevention, treatment and recovery field.

Taylor has dedicated more than 40 years of her life to treatment in the MidAtlantic, leading clinical and medical teams through the changing demands of addiction treatment, and living every day with the mission to save more lives.

NURSING SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM CONNECTS MARYMOUNT, VIRGINIA HOSPITAL CENTER: The Caruthers fam-

ily and Virginia Hospital Center Foundation have teamed up to provide $400,000 in scholarships for students in Marymount University’s nursing program.

“We have long recognized the valuable contributions made possible in our community by Marymount University’s nursing program, in collaboration with Virginia Hospital Center,” said Steve Caruthers on behalf of his family, a longtime benefactor of both institutions. “There exists a standard of excellence of care provided to all of us, and we are forever grateful.”

Three students – Margaret Amos, Nomin Bayanmunkh and Katherine Glorioso – have received $10,000 awards. In the future, five students will receive the scholarships each year, along with the promise of a position at Virginia Hospital Center in exchange for a commitment to work there at least two years.

Dr. Jeanne Matthews, dean of Marymount’s Malek School of Health Professions, said the university is grateful for the support on several levels.

“We’re very excited about these generous scholarships, which will provide a meaningful opportunity for our students, reducing their student debt and linking them to employment at Virginia Hospital Center,” Matthews said.

Marymount’s nursing program is housed in Caruthers Hall on campus. The family’s relationship with the university began under patriarch Preston Caruthers.

“My grandfather had a lot to do with Virginia Hospital Center, formerly Arlington Hospital, and Marymount University,” said Justin Miller, a nephew of Steve Caruthers. “Marrying the two was a natural thing to do and in keeping with the legacy he created and the values he taught us.”

“Virginia Hospital Center is pleased to come together with Marymount Univer-

sity and the Caruthers family and support these exceptional students as they join the nursing profession,” said Melody Dickerson, the hospital’s senior vice president and chief nursing officer. “Through this program, these future nurses will join the hospital staff with an exceptional education and provide critically needed care in their own community.”

The choir was part of a choral group that sang the National Anthem to open the game.

(A video of the performance can be found at https://www.mlb.com/video/ choirs-perform-anthem/c-2279867083.)

“The Chorale was invited by MLB earlier this summer, and Chorale members, many of whom are avid baseballs fans, were thrilled to be a part of the All-Star pre-game celebrations,” leaders of the choral group said.

The Arlington Chorale is a non-profit ensemble comprised of auditioned chorus members from Northern Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia. Now in its 53rd season, the Chorale performs free concerts in Arlington throughout the year.

Fairfax County and surrounding jurisdictions across Northern Virginia will benefit from the efforts of middle-school students in a program sponsored by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington.

A total of 77 middle-schoolers spent two hours picking corn for the poor at Chandler Farms in Montross and Parker Farms in Colonial Beach. The students, from Boot Camp for Aspiring Saints (a faith-formation program at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Annandale), collected nearly 10,300 pounds of corn.

After the corn was collected, it was transported to the Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington St. Lucy Food Project, a food warehouse in Manassas serving the underprivileged in Northern Virginia. From there, the corn will be distributed to partner pantries across the diocese.

“This is our first year to increase [the amount of] fresh, healthy food to the poor as a result of having our new refrigeration. Our donors made this possible,” said Vincent Cannava, program director of the St. Lucy Project. “Today also fulfilled an opportunity for ‘aspiring saints’ to put their faith into action.”

terbrook Residences, an assisted-living community, recently organized a strollerand-car-seat drive to benefit the Virginia Hospital Center Medical Brigade.

During the one-month drive, the team at Chesterbrook Residences collected 18 strollers and car seats. Donations will be shipped to Honduras and distributed during a week-long mission trip in November, where they will be reused in a unique way.

“A stroller is life-changing for impoverished Honduran parents of young children with limited mobility from birth defects, neurologic conditions or injuries,” said Dr. Barry Byer, president of the Medical Brigade. “It makes a big difference in the quality of life for the entire family, and is enormously appreciated.”

“Our talented Rehab Team works miracles with strollers and car seats, turning

them into valuable pediatric wheelchairs for children with disabilities,” said Mary Ellen Gannon, treasurer and director of logistics at the Virginia Hospital Center Medical Brigade. “We are very grateful for such donations and wish that all could see what it means to a family in Honduras.”

As a nonprofit community established by two local churches and a synagogue, Chesterbrook Residences has ingrained the idea of serving others into its culture.

Supporting the hospital’s effort is the latest of several “give-back” campaigns that the community and its residents have participated in.

“Supporting this cause has been inspiring for our team, those who donated and the greater community,” said Jill Rawlins, executive director of Chesterbrook Residences. “We feel privileged to help in this way.”

Ex-Del. Brink: Count Comstock Out at Your Peril

But Retired Legislator Still Thinks Democrat Wexton Has the Edge in Neighboring 10th SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

A longtime member of the General Assembly thinks Democrat Jennifer Wexton has the edge over incumbent U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-10th). But he isn’t ready to stick a fork in the race and call it done.

Comstock “is a fiercely competitive politician. I would never, ever count her out,” former Del. Bob Brink said at the July 18 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Arlington. “But if I were her, I wouldn’t place a double order of business cards.”

Wexton, a state senator from Loudoun, is facing off against Comstock in what could be one of the most competitive, and costly, congressional races nationwide. The 10th District, which runs from McLean west and south to rural areas of

the Shenandoah Valley, has been increasingly trending Democratic, but two years ago Comstock managed to hold her seat despite the district’s going to Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

Since it was created in 1952, the 10th District has been in Republican hands for 60 of 66 years, including long stints in office by Reps. Joel Broyhill (1953-74) and Frank Wolf (1981-2014).

Comstock, a former aide to Wolf, succeeded him after the 2014 election after defeating Fairfax Supervisor John Foust (D-Dranesville).

While suggesting Wexton had a route to victory, Brink declined to pronounce her win a sure bet. Quoting a line attributed to Yogi Berra, he said: “It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

Brink, a Democrat, in 1997 was elected to represent the 48th House District, which includes parts of Arlington and McLean. He held the seat until 2014, when he moved into the McAuliffe administration. He departed government

service this January.

When Brink took his seat in 1998, the House of Delegates was divided between political parties on an even 50-50 basis, and operated on a power-sharing arrangement. “It was a pretty productive two years,” he recalled.

In ensuing years, Republicans built a huge majority in the body, only to see it evaporate in the 2017 legislative elections.

The GOP now holds a slim 51-49 majority.

Brink said population and demographic changes are constantly altering the political landscape of the Old Dominion.

Twenty years from now, the commonwealth “will be barely recognizable from the Virginia we know today,” he predicted.

Brink, a moderate Democrat, served on the powerful House Appropriations Committee, one of the few placed where those of his party could make a difference during the “years in the wilderness” when Republicans held a two-to-one balance of power in the body.

a new effort to connect with the broader community outside of politics, and have tapped a recent political candidate to run it.

The “Blue Community Corps” will serve as a successor to “Democratic Values in Action,” and is aimed at making the party more visible in local activities.

The initiative, kicked off July 11, is an opportunity for “putting our progressive values into action – bring[ing] some solace and hope to people who are suffering,” party chair Jill Caiazzo said.

“It’s going to be a great addition,” Caiazzo said of the initiative.

Picked to lead the effort is Chanda Choun, who in the spring ran a long-shot race for County Board and scored 40 percent of the vote against Matt de Ferranti in the Democratic primary.

“We really want to turn heads, to show that we are not just out to get votes, but to make a difference in the community,” Choun said. “We want to make an impact.”

Choun said some of the efforts that might be embarked on could be providing rides to seniors; reading books to children; and feeding the hungry. Rather than reinvent the wheel, party officials aim to partner with existing groups to further their social-safety-net activities.

The Democratic Values in Action initiative had been in operation for a number of years. Its most public activity was the collection of cereal for the Arlington Food Assistance Center.

egation – highest in the General Assembly, for that matter – in a scorecard of the 2018 legislative session released by the Virginia Progressive Legislative Alert Network, or VAPLAN. (Not to be confused with Gabe KAPLAN, who starred in “Welcome Back, Kotter.”)

Lopez and state Sen. Jennifer Wexton (D-Loudoun) were the only two in the 140-member General Assembly to score perfect “+1” ratings, meaning they supported VAPLAN’s position on every bill that they had a vote on.

The ranking used 26 bills from the 2018 session to compile the ranking. Issues were eclectic, ranging from “bumpstocks” for semiautomatic weapons and tax credits for the coal industry to the Equal Rights Amendment and tax relief for Arlington golf courses.

Legislators who voted VAPLAN’s way got a “+1” for supporting each measure, a “-1” for opposing it, and then the total was divided by the number of votes they had taken, with bonuses added in for legislators who sponsored certain measures.

(The methodology has drawn some brushback both inside and outside the ranks of legislators, in part because of the bills selected for scoring and in part because it includes votes taken in committees, in which not all legislators had a vote.

The survey’s author told the Blue Virginia political blog that taking the committee votes out didn’t make an appreciable difference on the end result.)

How did other Arlington legislators do? Drum roll: • In the state Senate, Adam Ebbin (D30th) scored second from the top behind Wexton with +0.8947, while Barbara FaContinued on Page 20

Library Officials: Digital Cuts Lamentable, But Needed SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington library officials say upcoming cuts in the system’s digital collection are lamentable, but are in response to budget reductions COUNTY and the ever-evolving NOTES digital landscape.

Library officials have announced plans not to renew subscriptions that allowed county patrons access to Standard & Poor’s Capital IQ Netadvantage, which provides detailed descriptions of companies, industries and mutual funds, or to renew Hoopla, which provides access to streaming music and audiobooks.

The cutbacks were necessitated by a loss of $250,000 in funding, but were not easy decisions, library director Diane Kresh said.

“All of our collections are used and valued by members of our community,” she said.

In place of Netadvantage, library patrons are able to access similar resources such as Morningstar and ValueLine.

There also are options for those who wish to download audiobooks, although online streaming of music will not be replaced.

The last day to access Netadvantage is July 23. Hoopla service runs through Aug. 31.

Library officials said they continue

to evaluate other services that might be scaled back or eliminated entirely to address the budget cuts.

Board Members Seek to Have Bridge Named After Veterans: Arlington County Board members will ask the Commonwealth Transportation Board to name a rebuilt bridge near the Pentagon as “Arlington Veterans Bridge.”

Board members voted 5-0 on July 17 to make the request, ratifying a proposal by the county government’s Military and Veterans Affairs Committee.

The Virginia Department of Transportation is spending about $31.5 million to rehabilitate the Route 27 bridge over Route 110, and sought input from Arlington on whether the rebuilt structure should have a name. A final decision rests with the Commonwealth Transportation Board.

“My colleagues and I are very supportive,” County Board Chairman Katie Cristol said.

The county government will need to absorb the anticipated $15,400 cost to place highway signage and plaques denoting the name.

The original bridge dates to 1941, when the Pentagon and its vast roadway network were under construction. The redevelopment project widens the bridge’s footprint, allowing for a new path to be used by pedestrians and bicyclists.

Completion of the project is slated for

n Recent Wakefield High School graduate Deborah (Debby) Jaldin won one of six awards for her critical-thinking skills during a July 12 event celebrating students’ completion of the Urban Alliance’s High School Internship Program.

Jaldin was one of 74 recent high-school graduates from Arlington and Fairfax counties and the city of Alexandria to participate in the program. Twenty-four Arlington students, from Wakefield and Washington-Lee high schools, took part.

Jaldin interned for Virginia Tech’s Professional and Continued Education

program, located at the university’s Arlington campus.

Jaldin said that after she first heard about Urban Alliance, she knew right away that she wanted to work for Virginia Tech, and made a “car wish” that it would happen.

When she found out she had been accepted as an intern at Virginia Tech through the program, “all I could remember was my car wish and that everything was coming true. I told my parents, and we all thought back to my wish, and my mom said, ‘Now nothing can stop you from pursuing your dreams,’” she said.

Jaldin won the critical-thinking award because her mentors at Virginia Tech, even from day one, were blown away by her insights and ideas, officials said.

Jaldin will attend Northern Virginia Community College in the fall, and plans to transfer to a four-year college (preferably Virginia Tech) to study business.

The Urban Alliance’s High School Internship Program is an intensive earlywork experience for high-school seniors that includes a nine-month paid professional internship; weeks of pre-work professional-development training; weekly job and life skills workshops; post-highschool planning; mentoring from two caring adults; and ongoing post-high-school support.

The program culminated with a public-speaking challenge where interns sharpened their skills through presentations about their internships in front of panels of community leaders. n Drew Kiser of Arlington, a graduate of Yorktown High School the University of Virginia, has received a Fulbright U.S. Student Program English Teaching Assistant award to South Africa from the U.S. Department of State and the J.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week

Where History Springs to Life

Classic ‘Shreve House’ in Stylish Cherrydale Dates to 1880s

Our summer quest for the best in local real estate this week provides us with a real standout – “Shreve House,” a 19th-century showplace that has been renovated and looks ahead to modern living, set on a large lot that backs to county parkland in cheery Cherrydale.

Constructed in 1889 and mentioned in numerous historical sources, the home’s name comes from the Shreve family, which traced its roots back to Revolutionary War officer Samuel Shreve. The home was constructed at a time when Arlington was largely rural; in fact, it shared the vicinity with the cherry orchard that gave the surrounding community its name, and the family was instrumental in helping see the neighborhood grow.

From the welcoming front porch to the exceptional interior spaces, the home truly is something to behold. And its location provides easy access to everything from Clarendon to major commuting routes.

Add to all this the special bonuses, ranging from the office and half bath atop the detached two-car rage to the opportunities of the expansive attic space.

The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,065,000 by Christine

Facts for buyers Address: 2114 North Pollard Street, Arlington (22207).

Listed at: $1,065,000 by Christine Rich, Long & Foster Real Estate (703) 362-7764.

Schools: Taylor Elementary, Swanson Middle, Washington-Lee High School.

Rich of Long & Foster Real Estate.

Curb appeal is marvelous, with the organic yard and fruit trees providing a glorious visual backdrop. After admiring them, we’re welcomed onto the marvelous front porch, ready to accommodate plentiful amounts of furniture, and then are ushered inside to being our exploration.

Fresh paint adds to the overall ambiance; while this is an historic home, it’s striding confidently into the future.

The main level features radiant heat (perfect in winter) and Pergo flooring throughout. Room sizes are proportional and welcoming, and traffic flow is quite good.

The white kitchen is sure to be a standout on the tour; it offers new to newer appliances and the bonus of a gas

stove.

Of the three bedrooms on the upper level, the master retreat with its freshly renovated bath is designed to serve as an embracing respite from a busy day.

While set back in a world of bucolic splendor and privacy, you are nonetheless close to a host of shopping and dining opportunities just down the street, making this home truly the epitome of urban-village living.

Survey Ranks Best Locales for 1st-Timers Broken Arrow, Okla., may not be the first place anyone thinks of when considering home-ownership, but a new survey says that’s the best place for first-time buyers.

With July being one of the top months for home sales and nearly 40% of 2017’s single-family home purchases made by first-time buyers, the personal-finance Web site WalletHub took an in-depth look at 2018’s best and worst cities for those making their first home purchase.

WalletHub took the pulse of real estate in 300 cities of varying sizes using 27 key metrics. The data set ranges from housing affordability to real-estate tax rate to property-crime rate.

Following Broken Arrow, the top five cities for first-time buyers were Tampa; Centennial, Colo.; Boise, Idaho; and Grand Rapids, Mich. Rounding out the top 10 were Thornton, Colo.; Frisco, Texas; McKinney, Texas; Carey, N.C.; and Gilbert, Ariz.

Not to be rude, but where were the worst places for first-time buyers? The bottom five out of the 300 were San Mateo, Calif.; San Francisco; Flint, Mich.; Detroit; and Berkeley, Calif.

Among tidbits from the study: • Akron, Ohio, has the most affordable housing (median house price divided by median annual household income), with a ratio of 1.72, which is 8.9 times cheaper than in Berkley, the city with the least affordable, with a ratio of 15.25.

• Honolulu has the lowest real-estate tax rate, 0.28 percent, which is 13 times lower than in Waterbury, Conn., the city with the highest at 3.65 percent.

• Shreveport, La., has the lowest average energy cost per household, $109.48, which is four times lower than in Honolulu, the city with the highest at $432.62.

What should first-time buyers consider when choosing a neighborhood?

They “should ask themselves what their priorities are, because they are going to have to live in it,” said James Refalo, chair of the Finance, Law & Real Estate department of California State University Los Angeles.

“There’s an old adage that works from the investment perspective – ‘location, location, location’ – but that ignores many important life details, such as commute time to work, crime or school system,” Refalo said.

What Others Say...

The arrival of new Airbus A350-1000 aircraft, shown above, will enable Cathay Pacific to launch service in September between Hong Kong and Washington Dulles International Airport.

PASSENGER COUNT UP AT DULLES, DOWN AT REAGAN NATIONAL: De-

clines posted by its dominant carrier sent Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport’s year-over-year passenger count down in May, while Washington Dulles International Airport continued to show strength, according to new data.

A total of 2,096,433 passengers traveled through Reagan National during the month, according to figures reported July 16 by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. That was down 2.3 percent from May 2017 figures.

The decline is attributable to a 7.4-percent decrease in passengers at American Airlines, which has a market share approaching 50 percent at Reagan National.

The dip at American was largely due to reduced capacity.

Most other carriers serving Reagan National posted year-over-year increases, with the No. 4 carrier, United, showing a 12.3-percent boost. Southwest and Delta, which vie for second place in the overall rankings, saw modest increases, up 0.6 percent and 1.7 percent, respectively.

At Washington Dulles, the passenger count of 2,102,385 was up 4.5 percent from May 2017, helped by double-digit increases posted by Southwest, Frontier and JetBlue.

United, which controls a 63-percent market share at Dulles, saw a 2.5-percent boost in passenger counts, including 2.3 percent on the domestic front and 3.1 percent on international flights.

International service continues to be a bright spot at Dulles, with Aer Lingus, Air Canada, Emirates, Saudi and Ethiopian all posting solid year-over-year gains.

Combined, the two airports saw a 1percent increase in passenger counts for May, and are up 0.7 percent for the first five months of the year, as Dulles posted a 4.5-percent increase during the five-month period that was offset by a 2.6-percent decline at Reagan National.

See full data at www.mwaa.com.

CATHAY PACIFIC ON TRACK TO START DULLES SERVICE IN SEPTEMBER: The

arrival of new Airbus A350-1000 aircraft to the Cathay Pacific fleet paves the way for the airline to begin service between Hong Kong and Washington Dulles International Airport as expected in September.

The airline took possession of its first of the new-generation aircraft from the factory in Toulouse, France, on June 19.

Eight more of the aircraft are expected to be delivered this year, with further arrivals in 2019.

After initial rounds of intra-Asia services to acquaint crews with the aircraft – starting with its first commercial flight to Taipei on July 1 – the A350-1000 is expected to launch Cathay Pacific’s new service to Dulles on Sept. 15.

Four round trips per week are planned, and at 8,153 statute miles (7,085 nautical miles) each way, it will be the longest route in the airline’s network. By comparison, Hong Kong to London’s Heathrow Airport is a distance of 5,995 statute miles.

Flights will feature a three-class cabin: business class, premium economy and economy.

Dulles will become Cathay Pacific’s seventh passenger service gateway in the U.S. and ninth in North America. The airline, which launched nonstop service from North America in 1983, flies to Hong Kong more than 100 times per week from Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Newark, New York’s John F. Kennedy, San Francisco, Toronto and Vancouver.

“Washington, D.C. has special meaning for Cathay Pacific,” Philippe Lacamp, the airline’s senior vice president for the Americas, said when the route was announced late in 2017.

“When the airline was co-founded over 71 years ago by American Roy Farrell and his Australian partner, Sydney de Kantzow, they had dreams of growing beyond a regional Asian airline – in the hopes that one day it would expand across the ocean,” Lacamp said. “Farrell would have been proud to see the airline serve his country’s capital.”

“I went straight to Carol Temple to sell my property, knowing that I did not want a weaker, more junior and less sophisticated agent. She was exactly the high caliber, seasoned veteran with just the right touch of personality that I knew would result in success.

She was perfect and she has my highest endorsement.”

D.C. Inner Core Sees Fewer Sales, Higher Prices A modest increase in sales prices was offset by lower home sales across the D.C. inner core in June, according to new figures, resulting in a 2.8-percent drop in total sales volume.

A total of 5,889 properties went to closing during the month, down 4.1 percent from the 6,142 transactions in June 2017, according to figures reported by RealEstate Business Intelligence, based on data from Bright MLS. (Figures represent transactions in the District of Columbia; Arlington and Fairfax counties and the cities of Alexandria,

Salt Continued from Page 1 “This is kind of a stunning fail – a fail of planning followed by an abject failure of creativity,” said local resident Susan Cunningham, one of a baker’s-dozen speakers who criticized the proposed move not just on its merits, but also trained fire on what they described as a lack of transparency from county staff.

Although the relocation would take place within the same government-owned 7.5acre parcel on Old Dominion near Marymount University, “it has a real meaningful impact on the character of the neighborhood that we live in” and “sets a dangerous precedent” for the future, local resident Adam Gooch said.

The circular salt-storage facility rests on Old Dominion between 25th Road North and 26th Street North.

Not surprisingly, given what it holds, the existing facility is rusted out; for several months, county staff have said the current dome will not make it through the winter, when it will be needed to support road-clearing efforts.

Waiting any longer to approve the project would potentially leave the county without the ability to purchase the 85-foot-by-125-foot replacement storage facility it

seeks.

“If someone else gets ahead of us, we lose that opportunity. There is a daily risk,” said Greg Emanuel, who heads the government’s Department of Environmental Services.

Under a proposal recommended by County Manager Mark Schwartz and effectively ratified by the County Board, preparatory work on the site will begin shortly, with pre-construction efforts (including removal of trees) taking place in August.

Schwartz said every effort would be taken to find ways to mitigate concerns raised by neighbors in coming weeks.

“We don’t have the final design, the final answers,” he said. “If we find a better way to do it, we will post those and get feedback from the community.”

County Board members and Schwartz also agreed on a timeline that would develop a long-range plan for the entire 7.5-acre Old Dominion tract, with final recommendations coming before the County Board in late 2019.

Residents living around the Old Dominion parcel have been in a state of agitation with county officials for years, and in 2016 successfully fought off a proposal to relocate Fire Station #8 from Lee Highway to the site.

Most residents are hoping for much of the space to be used

While sales were down, the average sales price of $563,627 was up, albeit a scant 1.4 percent from $555,993 a year before. Sales prices were in positive territory in all legs of the market: • The average sales price of single-family homes rose 2.3 percent to $682,712.

• The average sales price of attached homes, such as townhouses, rose 0.6 percent to $446,905.

• The average sales price of condomin-

A total of 543 properties changed hands at more than $1 million, including 27 at more than $2.5 million and three exceeding $5 million.

Homes that sold in June spent an average of 30 days between listing and ratified contract, an improvement from the 33 days required a year before. They garnered 99 percent of listing price, up from 98.5 percent.

as a park, while Marymount University also seeks to have a role to play as it looks to further expansion opportunities.

“We’re anxious to get started on the long-range planning,” Al Diaz, the university’s vice president of finance, told County Board members.

It came as no surprise to anyone holding a graduate degree in the Arlington Way that County Board members spent a good deal of their July 18 meeting trying to placate the angry neighbors while all the time knowing they ultimately would back the staff recommendation that had so infuriated those same residents.

Board member Libby Garvey said the controversy was, in part, a result of a lack of transparency and an unwillingness of staff to get ahead of the issue and tell the community and elected officials the facts of life about a relocation sooner rather than later.

“By putting off facing up to this tough situation . . . it’s gotten worse,” she said to staff. “Please don’t do this to us or our community again.”

County Board members, who do not meet in August, will return on Sept. 22 and are likely to vote then on the necessary zoning changes allowing the salt dome to be moved.

Senate, House Candidates to Headline GOP Picnic: U.S. Senate candidate Corey Stewart and 8th District U.S. House of Representatives contender Thomas Oh will be the featured guests at the Arlington County Republican Committee’s annual picnic, to be held on Sunday, July 29 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Knights of Columbus, 5115 Little Falls Road.

Stewart is challenging U.S. Sen. Tim

Inventory remains below the already constricted rates of mid-2017, with 9,805 properties on the market at the end of June, down 6.5 percent from a year before.

Where is the market headed? Some good news: The number of homes coming under contract in June was higher than a year before. But there also is a shot of bad news: The total number of pending sales for the month is down from June 2017.

Figures represent most, but not all, homes on the market.

The Arlington County government’s salt-storage facility on Old Dominion Drive is in need of replacement, but those in the neighborhood are not happy with the county government’s proposed solution.

Bootcamp for Aspiring Entrepreneurs Lauds Creativity BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Motivation and focus often develop slowly in young people, but elementaryschool-age students who took part in the “Future Millionaires Bootcamp” at Oak Marr RECenter in Oakton recently seemed to have their goals and priorities well in hand.

James Rinard, 11, of Oakton wanted to create a highly mobile, feature-bedecked chair that could climb stairs and help the blind, deaf and elderly. He was prompted to do so by seeing how his grandmother had suffered before dying at 92.

“I want to work hard in life,” he said.

“I took this course because I wanted to know how to invest and know about the stock market. It turned out even better than I thought.”

Eleven students, ranging in age from 8 to 12, participated in the weeklong camp offered July 16 through 20 by Arlingtonbased SPARK Business Academy.

“We want to empower kids with practical skills that maybe they’re not learning in schools,” said J. Chuchi Arevalo, the company’s founder and CEO. “There’s a lot of emphasis about managing money and learning about business and entrepreneurship.”

The Future Millionaires Bootcamp is designed to be multidisciplinary, covering personal finance, budgeting, the creation

but I think a lot of it sticks,” Arevalo said.

“We get a lot of good feedback from the kids and parents.”

Camp staffers e-mail participants’ parents daily to apprise them of the group’s activities and allow them to ask more specific questions of their children and reinforce the concepts covered.

“It’s a richer discussion at the dinner table,” Arevalo said.

Instructor Vicky Omekam had the youths take turns reading from a handout on budget basics and call out “popcorn” before handing of the next paragraph to another participant. Those whose minds wandered and were caught unawares re10-year-old Sarah Moore of Vienna discusses budgeting with instructor Vicky Omekam on July ceived plentiful razzing.

Overlee Falls Short in Division 1 Fish Wind Up 2nd A 3rd Straight Year Staff Writer

Dave Facinoli

Yet another Division 1 championship, and the third in a row, has been added into the Chesterbrook Tiger Sharks’ rapidly-filling treasure chest.

SWIMMING ROUNDUP McLean’s Chesterbrook (5-0) won the Northern Virginia Swimming League’s top prize on a rainy July 21 morning with a 238-182 victory over the visiting Overlee Flying Fish (4-1) of Arlington in the final regular-season summer meet for each team.

The second-place finish was the third in a row for Overlee, which has won 29 Division 1 championships in pool history, including the 2014 and 2015 titles.

The Division 1 crown was the 11th for Chesterbrook, with the overall division title the team’s 16th in history counting lower levels. The Tiger Sharks have now won 15 straight meets over three seasons.

The meeting marked the 12th consecutive summer that Chesterbrook and Overlee met in the final regular-season clash to decide the title.

“With this team, you can’t stop the go,” Chesterbrook coach Katherine Stuver said. “The entire season they have been ready to go every meet. It’s like you open the gate and let them go.”

The Arlington Senior Babe Ruth 15under all-stars BASEBALL finished with a 3-2 record and fourth in the state Babe Ruth baseball tournament in Glen Allen.

Arlington lost its first game to host Glen Allen, 6-5, after leading 4-0. The 15s then won three straight games in the losers’ bracket before being eliminated by Augusta, 12-3, in the double-elimination competition.

Arlington’s victories were over Rappahannock, 20-6, Gloucester, 10-6, and Northern Fairfax County, 13-12.

Sam Dozier, Jake Arrowsmith, Henry Watson, Graham Lynch, Oliver Grove,

Jack Sharp, Ryan Upton and Jack Mallett were among Arlington’s top hitters in the tournament. Grove and Arrowsmith each had four-hit games.

Mallett, Upton, Sharp, Charlie Connally and Jakob Mandleur did the bulk of the pitching.

The 15s won the District 6 tournament to qualify for the state, and combined for a 6-3 record in the two competitions. n The district- and state-tournament champion Arlington Babe Ruth Travel 8-under Storm finished 0-3 at the Southeastern Regional Babe Ruth tournament in Ocala, Fla. Arlington lost its first two games in pool play to Phipps, Fla., 8-6, then fell to South Charlotte, 6-2, in its second contest

of pool play, then was eliminated with a 6-1 setback to West Raleigh in its third game. n Two district and state champion baseball teams from Arlington will begin participation this week in Southeastern Regional Babe Ruth tournaments.

The Arlington Senior Babe Ruth 13s and 14s teams begin region play July 25, in Hendersonville, Tenn. for the 13s and the 14s play in Fredericksburg.

Both teams went undefeated in statetournament play.

Each warmed up for the region competition by playing games in the annual Doc Bonaccorso Summer Classic at Barcroft Park in Arlington last weekend. In a game between the teams, the 14s won 9-2.

Our simple and abrupt answer always goes like this: “WRONG, are you kidding?”

There is no shortage of summer sports. In fact, more happens during June, July and August, really, than the rest of the year. Basically, every sport is played during the summer months in some fashion. Plus, games and events are held on Sundays, which usually isn’t the case during the school year.

There are the typical summer sports of Little League, Babe Ruth, American Legion and travel baseball.

That goes along with swimming, diving, softball and soccer. (Is there ever an offseason for soccer?)

There is all types of basketball played, from girls and boys high school summer leagues to scads of AAU competitions.

Don’t forget about lacrosse, rugby, girls and boys volleyball and various track and field events.

High school touch-league football is played during these three months by the majority of teams.

If we missed any sports, add them to the list, because there are more.

Each sport warrants some type of coverage, with the traditional summertime games and events – like baseball and swimming – usually receiving the top priorities.

Just about the time all of those summer sports wind down – with a good deal of overlapping – practices begin in early August for fall high school sports teams.

High school football season begins for many teams this year on Aug. 24 and 25. Other fall prep sports start around that time. Yes, late August still counts as summer.

Summer brings no rest for sports – not by a long shot.

Arlington Teams Eliminated in State Tourneys A Staff Report

No Down Time for Sports During Summer Months The same question always is asked at least once each June or July, and goes something like this: “Since the high school season is over, there must not be much sports going on and to cover during the summer, right?”

After his death, Winnefeld and his wife, Mary, started and head the Stop the Addiction Fatality Epidemic (S.A.F.E.) Project U.S. The Winnefelds want action taken to prevent other families from being torn apart and bereaved.

To that end, they openly discuss their son’s struggles with mental-health problems and drug addiction to help illuminate the deadly issues of opioid addiction, help drive solutions in response to the epidemic, lower the stigma of addiction and carry their son’s goal of service to others.

Since announcing their mission, the Winnefelds have engaged hundreds of families and community leaders, including health-care professionals, law enforcement, education and church groups to coordinate action, and have built business collaborations with the high-tech industry to develop an essential technical solution.

They spent hours speaking with families across the country who share their experience of loss and pain.

SEASON ENDS FOR POST 139: The

summer baseball season ended for Arlington Post 139 (12-13) on July 22 with a first-round, 11-0 loss in five innings to McLean Post 270 at Waters Field in Vienna.

The game was a first-round singleelimination contest in the American Legion District 17 tournament. Arlington was the fourth seed and McLean the No. 5 seed.

Arlington had just two hits in the game and three baserunners, as Post 139 was missing five starters, including top hitters Ethan Heckler and Carson Wood, both injured. Top pitcher Michael Lowen

also was out with an injury. Those players missed multiple games this season.

Will Stengle (double) and Hunter Spicer had Arlington’s hits.

Arlington used three pitchers in the five-inning game, as McLean had 14 hits in the victory to move on to the second round to face top-seeded Vienna Post 180 in double-elimination play.

McLean also defeated Arlington last summer in a first-round single-elimination tournament games.
