Majority of Panel Rejects Proposal to Relocate Facility to Old Dominion Drive SCOTT McCAFFREY

PHOTO BY BRIAN TROMPETER

Staff Writer

Acknowledging there is no perfect compromise to be found, members of the Arlington County Board’s Fire Station #8 Task Force plan to recommend that the current station be torn down and a new one built in its place.

On an 8-2 vote, with two abstentions, members of the task force on May 12 rejected the county government’s proposed relocation of the station to Old Dominion Drive and 26th Street North in favor of keeping it on Lee Highway in the Hall’s Hill neighborhood.

The recommendation,

slated to go to County Board members by the end of the month, proposes a modern, four-bay structure to replace the 1960s-era two-bay facility. The cost – when the need for a temporary facility during construction is factored in – would be in the range of $19 million, well above the $14.1 figure discussed by county officials in the past.

Whether elected officials will go along with the proposal remains to be seen.

“This is a very, very difficult decision for the County Board – a balancing act,” said Christopher Essig, who represents Continued on Page 24

Crime Solvers Shines a Spotlight on Mental Illness SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The public-safety community’s response to the special needs of those with mental illness was the central theme of Arlington County Crime Solvers’ annual luncheon and awards program.

“Some of us have forgotten the most important rule of life: We are our brother’s keeper,” said state Sen. Creigh Deeds (D-Charlottesville), who served as keynote speaker at the event, held May 12 at the Salsa Room on Columbia Pike.

Deeds, who in 2013 was attacked and seriously injured by his son (who subsequently committed suicide), called for “a robust system of community mental-health care.”

“People in every corner of this diverse commonwealth deserve care – we don’t have that in Virginia,” said Deeds, who was the 2009 Democratic candidate for governor.

His son’s attack on Deeds spurred General Assembly members to look at mental-health funding, and reforms are in the pipeline.

“We can be a national leader;

we just have to have the will,” said Deeds, who was named Arlington Crime Solvers’ legislator of the year.

Deeds’ efforts are an attempt “to bring us into the 21st century” in health care, said former state Sen. Mary Margaret Whipple (D-31st), who introduced Deeds at the event.

The ceremony also honored Arlington Police Cpl. Steve Gomez and Officers Krizza Balderrama and Ben Manning, coordinators of the department’s crisis-intervention training program.

More than 60 percent of the Arlington police force has been trained in crisis-intervention techniques, Police Chief Jay Farr said, including all incoming officers.

It is part of a broader strategy, which includes collaboration with Crime Solvers, to reach out to the community, Farr said.

“Building trust is probably the most critical thing we’re doing these days,” he said. “That happens as a result of a lot of effort.”

Also honored was Arlington Sheriff’s Deputy Gabriel Miranda, who serves as a liaison

between the sheriff’s office and the Arlington Circuit Court’s drug-court program.

“It has been very, very successful,” Sheriff Beth Arthur said of the three-year-old drugcourt initiative, whose cases are handled by Judge Louise DiMatteo.

The appearance by Deeds helped secure a record turnout for the luncheon, which is a key revenue source for the local Crime Solvers effort.

“The organization is moving forward,” said Andres Tobar,

who chairs the group. “From time to time, it has been on life support. It just makes so much sense to keep it alive.”

Tobar, the executive director of the Shirlington Employment and Education Center, said Crime Solvers can serve as a vital link to minority populations in Arlington.

“In the Latino community and in the African-American community, there are people who do not feel confident picking up the phone and calling the police department,” Tobar said. “This

organization responds to that.”

Farr, for one, said he appreciates the collaborative effort. “We’re really fortunate and blessed,” he said of Crime Solvers and other community-based efforts to connect the public with the police.

In addition to gathering information on incidents, Crime Solvers also pays out rewards in certain cases.

Most recently, a respondent received $500 for providing needed information in a malicious-wounding case.

County Leaders May Expand Hotline Effort to Public SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington officials say they continue mulling the possibility of setting up a waste-fraud-and-abuse hotline that is open to the general public, as a counterpart to one already in operation for government employees.

A public reporting option is “absolutely something I’m open to,” County Manager Mark Schwartz said on May 14. Schwartz said he would report back to County Board members in the next 30 to 60 days.

The employee reporting system, which can take reports (including those done anonymously) online or by phone, has been in operation for about a year. While the actual number of responses hasn’t been particularly large, the commitment by top leaders to make it work won the praise of board member John Vihstadt.

Vihstadt said the county leadership has done “an excellent job of reaching out” and making staffers aware of the existence of the option for reporting per-

ceived problems.

Vihstadt then pressed for more. “I do think there’s something to be said for rolling out the hotline to the general public,” he said.

Schwartz had been slated to brief County Board members on the employee hotline this month. The matter was deferred to June, which led one vocal activist to publicly wonder why.

Schwartz’s explanation: The county government has just hired an internal auditor, and he wanted that person on board before the matter was presented to the County Board.

“There wasn’t any nefarious reason in pulling that from the agenda,” he said.

The internal-audit position will be in addition to the new county auditor recently hired by, and reporting to, the County Board.

Jessica Tucker, who was appointed county auditor in January, recently asked the public to give her suggestions on areas within the government where she should focus her efforts in coming months. More than 70 suggestions have come in over the past month, Vihstadt said.

Cable-Franchise Negotiating Period Further Extended: No doubt every student at one time or another has to deal with the case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce in Charles Dickens’ “Bleak House.”

It seems like the Arlington County government and Comcast may be giving

those combatants a run for their money, at least when it comes to the lengthy negotiations.

County Board members and the cable firm have agreed to extend for another three months the negotiating period in order to update the “certificate of public convenience and necessity” that the company needs to operate in Arlington.

The new expiration date is Sept. 30, but could be extended further.

Comcast’s franchise to operate in Arlington was slated to expire on June 30, 2013. The term has been extended multiple times in an effort to complete the negotiations and allow the firm to continue its service to Arlington residents.

State Funds to Help Elevator Upgrade at Court House Metro: The Arlington County government is slated to receive a $538,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation in support of an elevator-improvement project at the Court House Metro station.

The funding is slated to cover onethird the local cost of the project, with the county government pitching in the rest. (More than $750,000 of the county’s $1.04 million in costs, however, is being paid through developer contributions).

Originally planned to take place during the county government’s fiscal 2021 budget year, the improvement project is now planned to start somewhat earlier, county officials said.

Highs & Lows THUMBS UP: To the six-year tenure of Mary Rouleau at the helm of the Alliance for Housing Solutions, which has seen the non-profit organization up its profile in the community and play an active role in promoting housing options for Arlington residents.

We’re not always on the same side of every issue with the organization, but we do respect the amount of fact-finding and advocacy it puts forward. A large part of the organizational underpinning of those efforts has fallen on the shoulders of Rouleau during her tenure.

May 28 brings a new executive director (former Arlington Hous-

ing Commission member Michelle we make a request? We’d like to see Winters). We wish her the best as the Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board to be next for she settles into the job. televising.

Because, unlike most of THUMBS UP: To the idea, being pushed by County Board Chair- the other government panels that man Libby Garvey, to ex- are largely advisory in nature, the pand the number of county- HALRB (as it’s known) has statugovernment advisory bodies tory authority over the properties whose meetings are aired online that rest within local historic disand archived on the government’s tricts.

HALRB meetings usually are Web site.

Less than two months ago, routine and only very rarely does meetings of the Planning Com- much controversy arise, but given mission and Transportation Com- the power that members wield mission began to be televised, and within their sphere of influence, it Garvey is among those who want would be nice to let the public tune other panels also to do their work in and observe without the need to schlep down to Courthouse and in the sunshine.

Having offered this praise, can view proceedings in person.

Don’t Let ACDC Bullies Take Down Libby Garvey Editor: A few wealthy Democrats are bullying the chairman of the Arlington County Board by heavily financing a puppet to run against her in the June 14 primary.

Their strategy is to elect Erik Gutshall in the little-publicized primary.

By doing this, the wealthy individuals hope to send a message to the other board members about what happens when you do not do “what they tell you.” This outcome will define who controls Arlington politics.

If you did not know there was a primary election on June 14, that is because you are not supposed to know. The Ar-

lington County Democratic Committee (ACDC) is not spending time or money to tell anyone that there is a primary, nor that you can participate in the primary whether you have a party affiliation or not.

We, the general public, were not meant to know that there was an election on June 14, because there is a network of elite voters sponsored by these wealthy puppeteers, who think that they can bully Libby Garvey and quietly oust her from her seat.

It really comes down to payback: Garvey fought the Columbia Pike streetcar line and supported a candidate

(John Vihstadt) who agreed with her.

After that, she was forced to resign from the ACDC, because dissent is not tolerated.

In some ways this is no different than a bunch of schoolyard bullies who will say and do anything to get their way.

Garvey has said that she felt her responsibility to the voters who elected her outweighed her obligations to the local Democratic machinery. It takes some independence and principles to stand up for what you believe in, even if it means losing your job.

Jim Derrig Arlington

Garvey Has the Courage to Call It as She Sees It Editor: All Arlingtonians are welcome to and should vote in the June 14 Democratic primary for County Board, in which Erik Gutshall is trying to unseat incumbent Libby Garvey.

Make no mistake, Gutshall is the Democratic establishment’s pick to take Garvey out for the sin of daring to question party dogma.

Garvey called into question the soaring expense of the Columbia Pike street-

car and million-dollar transit stops.

She also had the courage to point out the potential conflict of interest of then-County Board member Chris Zimmerman.

Has Mr. Gutshall EVER questioned anything that fellow Democrats have proposed? I doubt it; he has stated he is a party loyalist through and through.

In contrast, Garvey said something when it didn’t smell right. She backed independent John Vihstadt; together,

those two brought some much-needed skepticism to the County Board. Garvey was elected unanimously by Board members to the position of chairman for 2016.

Critical thinking is valuable. Experience on the School Board and County Board is valuable. Garvey has both; she deserves Arlington’s support in the June primary.

For School Board Candidates, Decision Day Arrives This Week SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Four contenders, including one incumbent and three first-time candidates, will be vying for votes in the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s School Board caucus, with voting to place Thursday, May 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Drew Model School and Saturday, May 21 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at Washington-Lee High School.

School Board Chairman Emma Violand-Sánchez is not seeking re-election to the seat she has held for eight years, but Vice Chairman Nancy Van Doren will be seeking her first full term, having won a special election in 2014 to fill the remainder of the term of Noah Simon, who resigned.

Also on the caucus ballot will be Michael Shea, Chaz Crismon and Tannia Talento.

Arlington Democrats will use an instant-runoff procedure to select their two endorsees, who will move on to the Nov. 8 general election.

Full information on the candidates, and on caucus rules, can be found on the Web site at www.arlingtondemocrats.org.

Voter-Registration Deadline Approaches for County Board Primary: Monday, May 23 is the deadline for Arlington residents to register to vote in the June 14 Democratic County Board primary.

The election – the only one on the ballot that day – will feature incumbent County Board Chairman Libby Garvey facing off against challenger Erik Gutshall.

In Virginia, primaries are run by state election officials. All registered voters are eligible to participate, since Virginia does not register by party.

For information, see the Web site at http://vote.arlingtonva.us/.

Gutshall Picks Up Support of Education PAC: Democratic County Board candidate Erik Gutshall has picked up the support of the political-action committee of the Arlington Education Association.

Gutshall “approaches decision-making as a consensus-builder, with an eye to transparency and engagement all along the way,” said Gerry Collins, president of the Arlington Education Association and co-chair of the political-action committee’s steering team.

Gutshall is challenging County Board Chairman Libby Garvey in the June 14 Democratic primary, with the winner moving on to the Nov. 8 general election.

Build Right. Right Where You Are.

Arlington Notes ARLINGTON RANKS 82nd IN VA. SAFETY LIST: Sometimes you’re the top dog,

and sometimes in the back of the pack.

When it comes to a new ranking of the safety Virginia communities, Arlington is in the latter category.

The community ranks 82nd among Virginia cities and counties in a new safest-places-in-Virginia ranking by Alarm System Reviews. The site looked at data reported to the FBI related both to violent crime and property crime for Old Dominion localities with 2,500 or more population.

(Yes, Arlington is a county, not a city or town, but it often is included in these types of rankings as if it was a city.)

Statewide, the safest place to live, according to the survey, is the town of Bridgewater. Also in the top five are Broadway, Grottoes, Purcellville and Timberland. (Sensing a trend? Most are smaller localities located outside of metropolitan areas.)

Also in the top five: Lexington, Poquoson, Blacksburg, West Point and Vienna.

Senior Olympics, which will run Sept.

10-21 at venues across the region, is set to add five new events: orienteering, Sudoku, rummikub, a spelling bee and the 100-yard breaststroke.

ALLIANCE FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS TO WELCOME NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR: The Alliance for Housing Solutions

will hold its annual spring update on the state of affordable housing in Arlington to introduce the organization’s incoming executive director.

Michelle Winters has been tapped to succeed Mary Rouleau, who has helmed the group for the past six years. Her debut will take place at the upcoming forum, to be held on Wednesday, May 25 at 6 p.m. at Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, 4444 Arlington Blvd.

Discussion at the forum will center on moving forward with the recently adopted Arlington Affordable Housing Master Plan.

Winters currently is completing a role

www.insidenova.com

as senior visiting fellow for housing at the Urban Land Institute. An Arlington resident, she previously served on, and chaired, the Housing Commission.

“We are extremely fortunate that Michelle has accepted the position,” Alliance for Housing Solutions board chairman Gene Hubbard said. “With her vast housing experience, she is able to hit the ground running.”

William Buck, John Shooshan and the late Emerson Reinsch have been announced as the 2016 class of the Arlington Business Hall of Fame, sponsored by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce.

The inductees – all of whom are connected to family-run businesses in the development arena – will be saluted at the Chamber’s annual Arlington’s Best Business Awards, slated for May 24.

Buck in 1976 began Buck & Associates, which has provided real-estate services in the residential and commercial sectors.

In the community, he has served on the Arlington Planning Commission and the boards of Virginia Hospital Center, Cardinal Bank and the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, and has been a supporter of the Arlington Food Assistance Center.

Shooshan founded the Shooshan Co. in 1986 to develop and invest in real-estate projects. In the community, he has been active with the Arlington Community Foundation, affordable-housing issues and philanthropy.

Reinsch (1903-88) moved to Arlington in the aftermath of World War II and founded E.G. Reinsch Construction and Management Cos., which built, owned and managed hotels and rental apartments. His philanthropic initiatives led to creation of the Emerson G. and Dolores G. Reinsch Foundation, founded in 1970, and his legacy of giving continues through the Reinsch Pierce Family Foundation.

The inductions will bring to 22 those included in the pantheon. Inductees in 2015 were Russell Hitt, Sidney Dewberry and the late Ashton Jones, who joined W.

Former Arlington Board Member Frankland Recalled SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Interment will take place next month at Arlington National Cemetery for Walter Frankland Jr., who served two terms on the County Board from the mid-1970s through the early 1980s and was part of what was its last Republican majority.

Frankland, 91, died Feb. 1 in his native Tennessee, but county-government officials first were made aware of his death in early May. Frankland, who had served as president of the Arlington Forest Civic Asso-

ciation and on the board of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, was part of a Republican-backed independent ticket with Dorothy Grotos that won the two open County Board seats in 1975 over Democratic-backed independents Richard Barton and Stephen Crum and independents Julius Brenner and George Gary.

“The Republicans were a stronger party then, even though they were beginning to slip into the netherworld of Arlington politics,” Barton recalled in a recent interview.

Then as now, the pace of development and redevelopment was a key theme in Arlington, Barton said, with “the conservative Republicans railing against rising real-estate tax rates – in fact, all of the taxes.”

The mood of the 1975 Arlington electorate was cranky, with several bond referendums on the November ballot going down to defeat. Even issues that are littleremembered today, including the installation of parking meters at Central Library and the demotion of Washington-Lee High School principal O.U. Johansen, were political firestorms of their day.

In 1978, county voters sent a third Republican-backed independent (Stephen Detwiler) to the County Board, giving the GOP a working majority. A year later, when seeking re-election, Grotos and Frankland told voters that continuing them in office would provide a hedge

against rising taxes and a growing county-government bureaucracy.

“We know how to attack the problem,” Frankland said in letter to the Northern Virginia Sun shortly before Election Day 1979. “We have reduced taxes once; give us a chance to do it again.”

Voters agreed, giving Grotos and Frankland majorities over Democraticbacked independents Mary Margaret Whipple and Charles Rinker and independent Michael Maddox. Fresh off the victory, Frankland was elected to chair the board in 1980.

But the county’s political leanings were evolving. Whipple ousted Detwiler in 1982, giving Democrats control of the County Board once again.

Grotos, having tired of the County Board grind, opted instead to run for treasurer in 1983 (narrowly losing to Democrat Frank O’Leary, who would hold the post for nearly 30 years) and Frankland’s quest for a third term found itself under a barrage of criticism from Democratic candidates Al Eisenberg and Dick Buffum.

The Democrats assailed Frankland as a tool of developers and, as Buffum put it, the driving force behind “mindless efforts to slash the tax rate regardless of the

www.insidenova.com

consequences.”

The attacks paid off: Despite the ringing endorsement in the Northern Virginia Sun – “the choice is clear,” the paper said – Frankland finished last in the voting even as his Republican ticket-mate, Mike Brunner, proved the top vote-getter and was the last non-Democrat to win a full County Board term until John Vihstadt’s victory in 2014.

In the 1983 race, Eisenberg won the second slot, starting him on what would be a lengthy County Board career.

Barton told the Sun Gazette that he and Frankland, even though on opposite sides of the political spectrum, never had a problem getting along.

“He was a great person, and I really enjoyed socializing and working with him, though we often disagreed on the issues,” Barton said.

Walter Leslie Frankland Jr. was born June 4, 1924, in Jackson, Tenn. A 1946 graduate of the United States Military Academy, he married his high-school sweetheart, Carol Armstrong, two days after commencement exercises.

The family moved to Arlington in 1964, two years before Frankland retired from the military as a lieutenant colonel.

“Their Army career took them all over the world, but Arlington was home,” said their son, Walter Frankland III (also a retired Army lieutenant colonel), in a letter to County Board members.

EXPERT Democrats in 8th District HOW TOEXCHANGE CHOOSE NCHOOSE OPTIAN CIOPTICIAN AN Take Nothing for Granted HOWATO

Party Leaders Press for Unity, Urge Outreach SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

It’s already been too weird a political year to take anything for granted in November, Democrats convening for their 8th District convention last week acknowledged.

“Do not underestimate Donald Trump,” U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) told the roughly 220 delegates and assorted alternates and party leaders who gathered at Edison High School to select delegates to the Democratic National Convention and approve resolutions.

Beyer noted polls showing two-thirds of the American people believing the country is on the wrong track. “That is frightening, and that opens the door” for Trump and Republicans, Beyer said, urging the party faithful to move forward with “confidence, strength and resolution” as the months tick down to Election Day. As with the 8th District Republican convention a week before, Democrats who assembled May 14 got a foretaste of 2017 politics. Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam, likely to be the Democratic nominee for governor next year, attended the Edison High School event.

“I am proud to be a Democrat in Virginia,” Northam said. “We have a great message – we want to make sure to get that message out: When we elect good Democrats, good things happen.”

Based on results of the March 1 presidential primary, the 8th District was allocated eight delegates to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, split among Clinton and Sanders supporters.

While the Democratic presidential nominee is not yet a foregone conclusion, 8th District chairman Margo Horner said the party needed to be united going into the fall.

“We’ve got to win on Nov. 8; that’s our goal,” she said. “We have to develop people. We need need new blood all the time.

There’s always a seat at the table.”

“This is one election we can’t lose. We can’t take the chance,” said state Senate Minority Leader Dick Saslaw (D-Falls Church).

That the 8th District will vote heavily Democratic on Nov. 8 is all but assured.

Whether the district can provide enough votes to offset potential Republican suc-

cess in other areas of the commonwealth remains to be seen.

Saslaw, who rarely lacks for confidence, struck an upbeat tone, suggesting likely Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would prove unelectable.

“There’s not enough angry old white guys,” said Saslaw, jesting that he fit that category. (Presumably meaning angry, old and white, not a Trump supporter.)

Beyer, who is in his first term and will face Republican Charles Hernick in the fall, said voters across the nation do not appear to be crediting the Democratic Party with what he perceives as Obama administration successes.

“We need to tell the story,” he said.

“We need a Democratic Congress; we need a Democratic president.”

Virginia Democrats will gather in Richmond June 18 to select statewide delegates to the national convention along with members of the Democratic National Committee.

Atima Omara, who is running for the latter post, said the victories of Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012 do not mask the reality that Virginia and its 13 electoral votes remain available to both political parties.

“We are still a battleground state,” she said.

The 8th District includes all of Arlington County and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church. While only a portion of Fairfax County is included in the district, it contains the most population and had the most delegates (99) at the district convention.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week

Creativity Abounds in Lacey Forest This Expansive Home Is Close to All the Amenities of Westover

Set on a sumptuous quarter-acre – with extensive landscaping, stone patio and garden walls adding to the ambiance – this week’s featured property is a creative stunner in the Lacey Forest community.

Constructed in 2009, the property is expansive and great for entertaining, while being close to the shops, library and child-friendly nightlife of Westover.

Inside and out, it’s a marvelous spot for the right purchaser.

The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,765,000 by Betsy Twigg of McEnearney Associates.

Set on a charming street with convenience to a number of parks and the W&OD Regional Trail, the home is filled with architectural details and extensive mouldings that set it apart from the pack. The focus is on livability, and it scores a home-run in that category.

The stone-and-HardiPlank construction provides a fitting curb appeal, and those of us fortunate enough to be invited inside will enjoy creative elegance.

The formal rooms are large but retain a warmhearted nature, making them perfect for entertaining at holiday time or for more regular use.

The kitchen is a standout, with topquality appliances (Bosch, Wolf, SubZero), a butler’s pantry with wine chiller, and more.

The master retreat is a space of serenity, with a glamorous bath and a grand dressing area and closet with extensive built-ins. A fireplace is a special added touch. (Fireplaces also can be found in the family room and game room.)

Of the four additional bedrooms found in the home, three have their own en-suite baths.

The walk-up lower level features a large recreation room with built-in cabinetry and a wet bar.

Bonuses? We like the marvelous wood flooring on all three levels, and there is space available to install an elevator – perfect for those planning ahead to age in place.

Exceptional space, combined with quality and style, set this finely-detailed home apart from the rest.

Well worth of consideration.

Donald Trump’s First Mansion Is on the Market Back in 1982, when he was still a Democrat and was on his first marriage (to Ivana), Donald Trump was a rising star in the New York City real estate world and shopping for a trophy estate.

And now, Trump’s former Greenwich home is for sale – with its listing price recently reduced by $9 million.

Trump was only 35 when he and Ivana purchased his Connecticut starter mansion, a 5.8-acre waterfront home on a peninsula, for $4 million. When they divorced in 1991, Ivana won the mansion in the property settlement.

She sold the home in 1988 for $15 million, and the new owners immediately began a renovation to tone it down a bit while adding tennis courts, indoor lap pool, sauna and a 4,000-squarefoot addition with guest suites.

Originally built in 1939 for Robert Hillas, president of the Super Heater Company in New York City, the 19,773-square-foot Georgian colonial main house and guest house have eight bedrooms, 13 baths, a three-story rotunda foyer with double staircase, formal rooms and views of Long Island Sound.

Also included in the sale is a home theater, putting green, multiple terraces and patios, tennis courts and three fully-equipped staff apartments.

Trump’s former Connecticut mansion is on the market, currently listed at $45 million. The listing agent is Tamar Lurie of Coldwell Banker in Greenwich.

Trump’s collection of expensive and even a few historic homes rivals almost anyone else in the world, according to www.toptenrealestatedeals.com. His main residence is a posh three-level penthouse at Trump Tower on New York’s Fifth Avenue, where he has lived and supervised his vast business operations since 1983. In 1996, Trump added a 60-room mansion in Bedford, N.Y., with pools and a bowling alley.

In 2008, Trump expanded his home stockpile to the West Coast when he purchased a six-bedroom, 10,400square-foot home in Beverly Hills.

But Trump’s No. 1 trophy home is still his Mar-A-Lago mansion and resort for the ultrawealthy in Palm Beach, Fla., which he purchased in 1985 for $10 million. The 1920s mansion, with 62,000 square feet and more than 100 rooms, originally was built for heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post.

Police Beat ABDUCTION WITH INTENT TO DEFILE: n On May 7 at 11 p.m., officers responded to an apartment in the 900 block of North Stafford Street to speak with a woman who reported that she had been held against her will.

According to police, the victim said she had met the suspect earlier in the evening and returned to his apartment, where he attempted to restrict her from leaving by physically restraining her.

The suspect – 27-year-old Temidayo Adebanjo Obayomi of Arlington – was arrested, charged with abduction with the intent to defile, and was held on a secured bond.

MALICIOUS WOUNDING: n On May 7 at 4:04 a.m., police responded to a report of a fight in the 2400 block of South Lowell Street.

Investigation determined that the initial assault occurred outside a bar in Fairfax County, and that participants in the incident then drove to Arlington where the fight continued and two victims were pepper-sprayed. The suspect left the scene in a vehicle with four other people.

The suspect is described as a black female, in her 20s. n On May 10 at 1 p.m., a verbal altercation in the 800 block of South Greenbrier Street escalated when a man grabbed a woman by her hair and held a knife to

her neck, police said.

The victim suffered a laceration to her hand, and was transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

The suspect – 21-year-old Darbin Barrera Corado of Arlington – was arrested, charged with malicious wounding and was held without bond.

Former N.Va. Sun Owner Herman Obermayer Dies SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Herman Obermayer, who owned the Northern Virginia Sun newspaper for a quarter century and later was active in teaching free-press principles to the emerging democracies of Eastern Europe, died of a heart attack May 11. He was 91 years old.

Known to friends as “Obe” (“oh-bee”), Obermayer purchased the daily newspaper in 1963 and served as editor and publisher until its sale in 1988. The Northern Virginia Sun, which traced its founding to 1935, was the predecessor of today’s Sun Gazette newspaper chain.

The Sun had been put up for sale at the dawn of the 1960s, but large chains were skittish because of labor troubles. Obermayer, already the owner of a newspaper – the Long Branch Daily Record – in New Jersey, was looking to pick up a paper in the South.

“I decided the Sun was close enough,” Obermayer said in an interview with the Sun Gazette. “I looked at some in Mississippi, but that was a little too far South.”

For nearly a decade, Obermayer commuted weekly to Northern Virginia while his wife Betty Nan and their children stayed in the Garden State. In 1971, the entire family moved to Northern Virginia, eventually settling into a home on the Arlington/McLean border. (For years

thereafter, Betty Nan Obermayer would vote in Fairfax County, Herman Obermayer in Arlington.)

The Northern Virginia Sun gained notoriety in the 1960s for taking on the American Nazi Party, which was based in Arlington. While having a limited local membership – maybe 50 to 100 people – the white-supremacist group led by George Lincoln Rockwell was known for its efforts to seek publicity for its agenda of hate.

While the Washington Star and Washington Post newspapers had a hands-off policy, refusing to acknowledge the organization, Obermayer went after the neoNazis.

“If you expose the antics of a rogue to public scrutiny, the public will eventually repudiate it,” Obermayer said in a 2004 oral-history interview with Heather Crocetto for what is now the Center for Local History of the Arlington library system.

The American Nazi Party declined in the public consciousness after the murder of its leader Rockwell in Arlington in 1967, but the Sun – which published six

days a week – had plenty of other issues to cover in the growing Northern Virginia area. At one point, the paper was cranking out 10,000 words of local copy per day, while also publishing wire-service reports of the state, national and international scenes.

At the same time, Obermayer used the paper’s printing facilities to carve out a niche, becoming the largest printer of foreign-language publications in the region.

At its height, the firm was depositing 8 million copies of newspapers into the local mailstream per year.

In a 1989 oral-history with Edmund Campbell and Cas Conklin, conducted a year after he sold the newspaper, Obermayer said he had always been impressed by the governance of localities in the region.

“I think they’ve been very high-grade people here,” he said. “Brighter than others, and generally it’s been a clean political atmosphere.”

In a 2013 interview with the Sun Gazette, Obermayer – then 89 years old – said he decided to sell the newspaper and press operation in the late 1980s because the economic risk was beginning to outweigh the potential reward.

“I tried hard when I owned the paper, and sure, I miss some of it,” he said.

From 1990 to 2001, Herman and Betty Nan Obermayer represented the U.S. Department of State as consultants to news-

papers in countries of the former Communist bloc. Herman Obermayer also was a lecturer in media at Harvard University and wrote several books, including a biography of his friend, William Rehnquist.

(Obermayer and Rehnquist were on opposite sides when it came to the question of televising court proceedings; the newspaper publisher supported the concept, the chief justice opposed it.)

Herman Obermayer also was one of the first, if not the first, Jewish members of Washington Golf & Country Club.

And in 2009, he was honored for 50 years of perfect attendance at the Rotary Club of Arlington.

Somewhat conservative politically, Obermayer wrote a weekly front-page column in the Sun, penned political endorsements and, with his wife, reported from both the Republican and Democratic presidential conventions from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Betty Nan Obermayer died in January 2013; she was active in leadership of Temple Rodef Shalom, the Jewish Foundation for Group Homes and Arena Stage. The couple, married in 1955, had four daughters and 11 grandchildren.

A memorial service is slated for Tuesday, May 17 at 10:30 a.m. at Temple Rodef Shalom, 2100 Westmoreland Drive in Falls Church.

Shakespeare in the Surf? Local Troupe Has a ‘12th Night’ Twist

OPEN HOUSE Sunday May 22nd 2:00- 4:00 pm

Fantastic 2BR/2BA “Urban Loft” model in Station Square- 1 Block to Metro PHOTO BY LARRY McCLEMONS

MATT REVILLE Staff Writer

In part because his themes are universal and in part because the original texts are not under copyright protection, works

by Shakespeare long ON have lent themselves creative interpreSTAGE totations.

Locally through the years, various productions of works by the Bard have been staged in 1950s diners and in Nazi Germany, just to pick out two. There was even a 2007 Washington Shakespeare Company production of “Macbeth” done in the altogether.

(Memo to those who might want to reprise that last one. Remember the immortal words of Sheriff Buford T. Justice in “Smokey and the Bandit”: “Oh, you can think about it. But dooooooooon’t do it.”)

Encore Stage and Studio has taken Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” and imparted to it a 1960s, beach-party ambiance. Consider that the Duke of Orsino has become the “Dude” of Orsino, and you’ll get the general drift.

The result is a show – adapted from the original by Caroline Schreiber and Elizabeth Pringle – that has some flaws (to be detailed below), but for those with an interest in modernized classics, offers some quality moments.

The basic tale is unchanged: Twins Sebastian and Viola are washed ashore, although in this production it is not from a shipwreck but a storm-tossed ride on surfboards. What follows is a two-act, 90ish-minute tale of mistaken identity, comedy and love, all presented in a black-box environment with the audience on three sides.

Performances are generally quite good. The twins (Ethan Edds and Caroline Burnham) are split up at the outset but reunited at the end. Orsino (Kevin Cabral) offers unrequited affection to Olivia

(Mila Fox-Parola), while the likes of Sir Toby Belch (Christopher Zane), Malvolio (Robert Gessel) and the Fool (the very talented Louisa Martial) add comic relief.

The challenge for general audiences is not with the performances or with the direction (Pringle), but with the structure of the show itself. Lots of scene changes moving back and forth between locations, coupled with that Shakespearean trait of having characters of one gender disguise themselves as the other, plus the (lovely yet) archaic dialogue, can make it all a very confusing evening for those not hipped to the basic plot.

The 120-seat, black-box environment works to the show’s advantage; for good or bad, characters never break the socalled fourth wall to bring the audience into things, but the action is close enough to the crowd to maintain a connection.

And, despite the distance of 400 years, Shakespeare can still deliver zingers.

“Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage,” the Fool reminds us in a literal case of gallows humor.

Encore suggests the show is appropriate for ages 8 and older. I’d amend that a tad. Given the colorful beach-party setting, younger kids (ages 5-10) might enjoy the production even if they don’t completely follow along. But the experience might be a little daunting for those who yet haven’t hit middle or high school and spent at least a little time studying Shakespeare.

For those who have the background to make sense of the twists and turns, this Gidget-themed homage to the Bard is worth considering as its last weekend approaches.

O’Connell Prevails in 19 Innings

Teeing Off

Girls Softball Fans Treated To an Unforgettable Clash Every once in a while, high school sports followers are lucky enough to witness a memorable performance that’s far out of the ordinary.

Dave Facinoli

Team Reclaims Tourney Crown DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

On day two of the 19-inning marathon championship game of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference the SOFTBALL Tournament, No. 2 seed Bishop O’Connell Knights quickly closed the deal thanks to a final-frame explosion with the bats.

O’Connell (20-5) belted two home runs in the top of the 19th, one a grand slam by senior first baseman Olivia Giaquinto, and took advantage of six walks, to defeat the top-seed and twotime defending champion St. Mary’s Ryken Knights, 7-2, in the girls high school softball showdown May 11.

The game took two days to play, because the field at Holy Cross in Maryland had no lights. So after playing 18 innings the first day on May 10, the contest was suspended, tied at 2, until the next afternoon at the same venue, because of fading light. When the action resumed, it took only one inning to complete.

In the top of the 19th the second day, Ryken’s relief pitcher walked the first Continued on Page 23

With the playoffs underway last week in Liberty Conference girls and boys school soccer SOCCER high action, both Washington-Lee Generals teams have high hopes for the remainder of the competition.

The top-seed Washington-Lee boys are 12-0-2, and defeated the No. 8 seed Hayfield Hawks in first-round action last week. The W-L girls are 12-1-1s, are the second seed and downed Fairfax in 22

a first-round game.

In addition, the Yorktown girls (113) are the No. 3 seed and outscored the Langley Saxons in the opening round.

Semifinal games were earlier this week. See results on the Web site at www.insidenova.com/sports/arlington.

A year ago, the W-L boys, currently ranked high in various high school polls, were upset in the first round, ending their season.

“The rankings don’t mean anything until we do it on the field, and we have talked about that,” Washington-Lee coach Jimmy Carrasquillo said. “We re-

member what happened last year. We’re going into the tournament in a good spot. We are starting to understand what we need to do and we are finishing games better now. We are peaking at the right time, which you need to be, because so are other teams.”

The W-L boys are led in scoring senior Maycol Nunez with 16 goals and four assists. He will play in college at University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Senior forward Lucas Mendes, who has 13 goals and four assists, will play

That happened during a two-day period last week on May 10 and 11 when the Bishop O’Connell Knights defeated the St. Mary’s Ryken Knights, 7-2, in a marathon 19-inning girls softball championship game of the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Tournament.

Both teams were tremendous, with O’Connell pitcher and former McLean Little League star Kathryn Sandercock being a special standout.

She retired the final 26 batters she faced, walking only one in the game.

In addition to outstanding pitching on both sides, there were tremendous defensive plays made, and a couple of clutch home runs were belted by O’Connell players. One was a 19thinning game-winning grand slam by Olivia Giaquinto, another former McLean Little Leaguer standout.

The showdown took two days to play, because after 18 innings the first afternoon and evening, the action was halted because of darkness. The field at the Academy of Holy Cross in Maryland has no lights. So at 8:03 p.m., the game was suspended after starting a few minutes late at 4:09 p.m. when the umpires didn’t arrive on time. Then they had to work late.

The next day, after more than an hour’s delay because of rain, the game resumed at 5:37 p.m. and took just 26 minutes to complete.

It was one of those sporting events that will always be remembered for the many things that occurred.

There is a long history of girls high school softball games lasting many innings and hours, even more than 19 frames, especially when there are two standout pitchers in the circle like for O’Connell and Ryken.

With that in mind, it’s probably a good idea to never start such a contest on a field with no lights.

W-L Senior Righty Hurls 3-Hit Shutout in Playoff Victory DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

It was a classic, at least for diehard high school baseball fans who appreciate stingy, low-scoring defensive pitching duels and fast play.

The No. 3 seed and host Washington-Lee Generals (11-10) nipped the Fairfax BASEBALL sixth-seeded Rebels, 1-0, May 13 at Quincy Park in a 90-minute quarterfinal game of the Liberty Conference Tournament.

The contest featured two of the best senior right-hander starting pitchers in the league – W-L’s Teddy Herbert and Sam Ryan of Fairfax. They didn’t disappoint. Both walked only one and combined for 21 strikeouts.

Each hurled a complete game. Herbert (4-2) tossed a three-hitter, struck out seven and threw 78 pitches (54 for strikes). Ryan fanned 14 in six innings, allowing four hits, an earned run and threw 87 pitches (63 for strikes).

Ryan retired 15 of the final 16 batters he faced, with the only one reaching (with two outs in the sixth) on a throwing error by the catcher after a strikeout in the dirt. He struck out six in a row at one point.

“That was outstanding, a tremendous high school baseball game,” W-L coach Doug Grove said. “There was so much intensity on every pitch. If you can’t appreciate that, you don’t have a heartbeat.”

The Generals made no errors and Fairfax only one.

Washington-Lee scored its run in the first inning. Leadoff hitter Chris Brady walked, moved to second on an Andy Collins single, then scored on Herbert’s single to right.

Miles Dulman and Will Stengle added back-to-back hits to start the second inning, then Ryan, working fast and sometimes quick pitching, retired the next 15 of 16, 11 by strikeouts.

“He is a really good pitcher, one of the best we’ve ever faced, but my guy is pretty good, too,” Grove said. “We wanted to get something off of him [Ryan] early. Because when he gets settled in like he did, you don’t get a lot of chances. I’m glad we were able to get one.”

Added W-L designated Henry Bendon: “Ryan got his slider going, and he was tough to hit after the second inning.”

Herbert used fastballs, curveballs and three of four changeups in the game. He

had a perfect game for 2 2/3 innings, with four straight strikeouts, before an infield hit ended the streak.

“This was a lot of fun for Fridaynight baseball,” Herbert said. “My fastball was locating low in the zone and my curve was good tonight. I really felt the best I have all season. I was strong warming up. Once we got that run, it was my job to keep them off the board.”

The best scoring chance for Fairfax

came in the seventh when Nicholas Godwin opened the inning with a double, then Ian Hawkins was hit by a pitch with one out.

The game ended on a 6-4-3 double play, with Collins fielding the grounder at shortstop, then Will Burgess making a strong turn and throw at second to Noah Winslow at first.

“I hung a curveball there that he hit for the double, but our defense made the big play to end it,” Herbert said.

Added Grove: “I’ve been telling them all year how good they are in the infield, so it was perfect that’s how the game ended.”

For the week, Herbert was 2-0 and threw 10 scoreless innings.

“Teddy is pitching his best right now,” Grove said.

The win was Washington-Lee’s third of the week, fourth in five games and sixth in eight.

“We’re playing our best right now,” Bendon said.

Next for the Generals was a semifinal against the No. 2 seed McLean Highlanders (14-7) that was scheduled earlier this week. McLean defeated W-L in two regular-season games, 14-3 and 5-1. For results of that semifinal, visit www.insidenova.com/sports/arlington.

Giaquinto said. “It’s been our goal all year to win this tournament again and get the trophy back.”

Said Orndroff: “Olivia has a great swing, the best top hand I have ever had.

She knows what to do in big moments.”

O’Connell benefited in the 19th inning because Ryken ace Madison Aughinbaugh, who started and threw 274 pitches in working the first 18 frames, did not pitch the second day.

“Maddie is a very good pitcher and very competitive,” Orndorff said. “You like to play the best. So it was anticlimactic after not having her back on the mound. That was fortunate for us.”

Sophomore right-hander Kathryn Sandercock (14-5) pitched all 19 innings for O’Connell. She struck out 17, allowed five hits, walked just one and threw 221 pitches.

“The last two weeks, Kathryn has really developed into a pitcher, not just a thrower,” Orndorff said.

(See on sidebar about Sandercock’s performance on the Web site and another story on the game at www.insidenova. com/sports/arlington.)

O’Connell had 13 hits and stranded 19 runners. Turner was 5 for 9 and had

two RBI; Sandercock and Giaquinto had three hits each; Patty Maye Ohanian and Caitlin Jorae added a hit each; and Elizabeth Hoeymans had two sacrifice bunts and an RBI. Julia Jones also had a sacrifice bunt.

O’Connell second baseman Leah Hammes made a number of good defensive plays, along with Jones in centerfield and Giaquinto at first.

“We knew it would take all of us to win,” O’Connell senior catcher Jenna Spille said. “We all focused very well.”

Orndorff agreed. “I thought we played the best of the two teams yesterday [May 10], but we didn’t win it then.

This is a young group, and this team is just learning how to win.”

NOTE: Giaquinto and her sisters have combined to win 10 WCAC tournament titles. Olivia, who will play at Harvard, has won two. Her older sisters, Sophie and Madeline, won four each during O’Connell’s 10-year run of titles.

Both also played softball in college.

Mendes is a highly-accomplished select player, and decided to play for W-L this spring because he’d seen the success the Generals have enjoyed in recent years. W-L finished second in the state and region in 2014.

Also for the Generals, Noah Goodkind and Geronimo Kurzbach (one assist) have four goals each and Abdullah Al’ Rubaiy and Andrew Kamian (three assists) have two each. Aidan Pond has a goal and two assists, Harrison Ramos has three assists, Jose Argueta has two assists, Benhur Gebretensale has six assists and a goal, Alejandro Maldonado has a goal, and Marty Hockey has an as-

sist. Gebretensale will play at Chowan.

Chris Palacios is the W-L goalie.

For the W-L girls, Catherine McDonald has nine goals and four assists, Colleen Norton has five goals and four assists, Annabel Campbell has four goals, Kelly Guadian has four goals and three assists, Ava Singh has four goals, Hayley Roy has three goals and nine assists, Maggie Stoker has two goals and two assists, McKenna Cromwell has a goal and two assists, and Anna Beatrice has two assists.

Cayla White is the team’s goalie.

For the Yorktown girls, Kiely Westhoff leads the way with 12 goals

and three assists. Emily Talotta has four goals and three assists, Marisa Fitz has two goals and five assists, Meredith Beam has three goals and three assists, Kelly Emson has three goals, and Zoe Lunn and Cadyn Westhoff have two goals each, with Olivia Tripodi having two assists.

NOTE: Carrasquillo is in his 17th year as Washington-Lee’s head coach with a win-loss record of 168-90-15 at the school. He was the head coach of George Mason High for one year in 1998 when the team won a Group A state championship with an 18-2 record.

O’Connell Continued from Page 22 three batters. Then, Giaquinto belted her ninth homer of the season for a grand slam. Kayla Turner added a solo shot, her first O’Connell homer, to end the scoring. In all, the game lasted 4 hours and 21 minutes of playing time.

O’Connell lost to Ryken in the past two tournament finals after winning the crown for 10 straight years.

“The trophy is back where it belongs,” O’Connell coach Tommy Orndorff said. “After we won it 10 years in a row, I think it was homesick down at Ryken for a couple of years.”

Giaquinto said she was trying to hit the ball hard, not necessarily a home run, on her grand slam to center field, her second homer of the tournament.

“It was an inside fastball, a little high, and I took a big swing and it went out,”

Soccer Continued from Page 22 at Virginia. The addition of Mendes, playing high school soccer for the first time, gives the Generals a potent onetwo scoring punch.

“With Lucas now, teams can’t just concentrate on stopping Maycol,” Carrasquillo said. “We have two very good offensive players. Lucas is so quick with the ball. He and the other players are learning to adjust to each other in getting to the right spots.”

O’Connell’s Kathryn Sandercock threw all 19 innings of the final.

Station #8 Continued from Page 1 the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission on the task force.

In a meeting that stretched three hours rather than its planned two, and exposed frayed nerves on all sides, a majority of task-force members concluded that the benefit of reduced response times in the far northern portions of the county that would accrue by moving the fire station to Old Dominion would be offset by a decline in service times to the Lee Highway corridor.

A draft report, compiled by task force chairman Noah Simon and gone over meticulously by the panel, concludes that the county government “should not focus on

Chickens Continued from Page 1 to have his East Falls Church home exempted from rules prohibiting hen-raising in most residential areas of the county.

Vihstadt, who served on a task force that studied the matter, was not alone in suggesting the chicken-raising issue might be back on the table.

“There may be an opportunity to revisit this,” County Board Chairman Libby Garvey said.

producing ‘equal’ service to outlying areas where demand is low at the expense of service in high-demand, heavily-populated areas.”

“Any move of this station helps some people and hurts others,” acknowledged Richard Samp, who represents the Old Glebe Civic Association on the task force.

The vote was a victory for many in the Hall’s Hill/High View Park neighborhood, who wanted to keep the fire station where it was in order both to retain response times in the vicinity and to honor the African-American firefighters who staffed the facility as volunteers during a time of rigid segregation in the early and middle parts of the 20th century.

The task force’s efforts won praise from Alexandra Bocian, president of the John M. Langston Civic Association, which

represents residents in the neighborhood where the station currently is located.

Task-force members “took the time to research it, understand it,” Bocian said.

Terri Prell, who represented the Arlington County Civic Federation on the task force (and opted to abstain on the vote), voiced a fear that emotions had trumped logic in the decision-making process.

“I am somewhat appalled at how political this feels,” Prell said of the task-force process. “This report should be about keeping people safe.”

That was the intent from the start, countered Rodney Turner, representing the John M. Langston Civic Association on the panel.

“We’re talking about this whole thing in the context of serving people. Nobody’s forgetting about that,” he said.

But some living in the far-north parts

of the county were left unhappy.

“We in our neighborhood want better EMS response times,” said Terry Dean, a former president of the Chain Bridge Forest Civic Association. “There is a problem.”

The May 12 meeting, the group’s penultimate gathering (its last is slated for May 26) required Simon to combine equal parts self-help guru, auctioneer and lion tamer in an effort to keep discussions focused and on track.

“We’re sort of going backward,” Simon sighed at one point, “which is OK, but we’ve got to go forward eventually.

We’ve got to get this thing written.”

(Simon, a former School Board member and trained mediator, said from the outset that he would main neutrality, and joined Prell in abstaining when members were polled on their site preference.)

But she was cautious. “There were a lot of legitimate concerns” raised during the task-force process, Garvey said.

Then-County Manager Barbara Donnellan nixed any changes to existing chicken-raising rules in early 2013, telling County Board members her staff already had enough on its plate. Her rebuff angered then-board members Chris Zimmerman and Walter Tejada, but with their departures in 2014 and 2015, respectively, the urban-chicken lobby hasn’t had a champion on the County Board.

At issue on May 14 was a request by Andrew Soles, who owns home in the

6600 block of Lee Highway that, while sitting on a lot of nearly 21,000 square feet (huge by Arlington standards), does not qualify as a chicken-raising location because it does not meet setback requirements.

A neighbor turned in Soles last summer, complaining that his chickens were running loose and trespassing into other neighbors’ yards. County zoning staff told him to remove the fowl; an appeal to the Board of Zoning Appeals set for April was pulled when staff determined only the County Board could allow a use permit.

“I’m trying to do the right thing,” said

Soles, who has letters of support from more than a dozen neighbors.

Board members dispatched a staffer to get information from Soles, but seemed unlikely to give him dispensation from the existing rules.

“If you don’t have an acre or more of land, you can’t have backyard hens, with a few exceptions,” Garvey noted.

Advocates say allowing more Arlington residents to raise egg-laying birds would, on balance, be good for sustainability, while critics counter that assertion and point to health and environmental concerns.
