The Arlington treasurer’s office achieved a new record-low tax-delinquency rate in the fiscal year ending in June, with plans to push that rate even lower over the coming year.

“I cannot believe what we’ve been doing – it’s been amazing,” Treasurer Carla de la Pava said at a celebration held Aug. 17 to announce that the tax-delinquency rate had declined to 0.24 percent for fiscal 2016, down from 0.27 percent a year before and below the office’s target of 0.25 percent.

The rate represents the total amount of real estate and personal property tax unpaid as of early August. In the last fiscal year, approximately $830 million flowed through the treasurer’s office, with about $2 million delinquent.

“I have never seen a team work so hard together,” said Carolyn Meadows, the deputy treasurer for compliance. “We had some ups and downs, but we pushed through it.”

“We set the standard,” said Stephanie Hyman, Meadows’ deputy, of collection efforts.

“It can be maddening and frustrating [to collect money owed], but you stick to it.”

The effort to reduce Arlington’s delinquency rate began with the election of Frank O’Leary as treasurer in 1983. Inheriting a rate that totaled upward of 8 percent, O’Leary and his successor de la Pava have applied both the carrot and the stick to collect funds.

The mantra of the office is simple: If some do not pay their fair share, others are forced to make up the difference. If the deContinued on Page 15

School Officials Look for Lead in Water Fountains, Pipes SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington school officials say it is only a case of exercising prudence, but they are expanding their SCHOOL testing of water pipes the system in BOARD across search of excess levNOTES els of lead.

The search already has turned up a water fountain at Jamestown Elementary School that exceeded recommended maximum lead levels as determined by the Virginia Department of Health.

“We have turned that water fountain off and replaced it,” Superintendent Patrick Murphy told School Board members on Aug. 18.

Several other fixtures at Jamestown also will be replaced, Murphy said.

The school system will have tested every water fountain in local schools by the time classes resume in early September.

“We’re trying to be proactive,” Murphy told School Board members.

The action was taken in response to the situation in Flint, Mich., and other communities that have seen high levels of lead leaching into water due to aging lead pipes.

In recent years, lead-contaminated water supplies have been found in communities such as Boston, Seattle, Philadelphia and the District of Columbia. Earlier this month, several water fountains in the St. Louis public school system were shut off when high lead levels were uncovered, and closer to home, several faucets and fountains in Manassas City elementary schools were found to be above the 20-parts-perbillion threshold that triggers alarm.

Federal law has prohibited the use of lead in drinking-water systems and solder since the mid-1980s, but many older systems are still in place.

In adults, high levels of lead in water can lead to elevated blood pressure and kidney disease. Dangers are more pronounced for children and pregnant women, according to the Virginia Department of Health, although a bigger threat comes from lead-based paint (in use through the late 1970s) rather than water.

Arlington Superintendent Gets a Pay Boost: Arlington School Board members have bestowed a 2-percent pay raise on Superintendent Patrick Murphy.

The board action, taken Aug. 18, brings Murphy’s salary to $232,261.50 for the coming year.

Murphy was recruited from Fairfax County Public Schools to succeed retiring Superintendent Robert Smith in July 2009. When he started, Murphy’s base salary was $198,000; it has risen 17 percent in the ensuing seven years, roughly along the lines of pay raises given to the rank-and-file.

‘Ultimate Frisbee’ Gets School Board’s OK: Arlington School Board members on Aug. 18 approved the inclusion of Ultimate Frisbee as an intramural sport in

the county’s secondary schools. Now the hunt is on for coaches.

The School Board’s action paves the way for boys and girls teams from five middle schools and three high schools to form and play each other throughout October.

Besides finding qualified coaches – or teaching those who want to coach – the other main challenge for school officials over the next two months will be squeezing practice and games on to the schedule when fields already are near maximum capacity.

“We are challenged – we have full seasons [of other sports] in both the fall and spring,” said Debbie DiFranco, supervisor of health and physical education for Arlington Public Schools.

Questioned by School Board members, DiFranco said her preference is to keep practices and matches on school campuses rather than using county-government fields, in order to reduce travel time and cost.

In addition to the three general high schools – Wakefield, Washington-Lee and Yorktown – and five middle schools, county school officials are hoping there will be interest among students at a number of specialty programs, including the new Arlington Tech initiative, H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program and Arlington Community High School (formerly Arlington Mill High School).

Ultimate Frisbee – often known just as “Ultimate” – is a non-contact sport featuring seven players on each side competing on a 70-by-40-yard field. Teams score points by successfully passing flying disks into end zones. The disks only can be moved by passing; players can’t run with them.

The sport’s origins date to the 1960s.

Arlington would be the first school system in Northern Virginia to approve it as an intramural sport; boosters hope that, some day, it might become sanctioned by the Virginia High School League for competition among districts.

Arlington Schools Pick Up Anti-Obesity Grants: Three Arlington schools are among 17 across the region to receive new “Healthy Kids Grants” from the Community Foundation for Northern Virginia.

Taylor Elementary School won a $2,000 grant for its “Eat Smart and Moove” program, which promotes increased consumption of fruits and vegetables and encourages students to compete in a 100mile “Moo-ve to Richmond” challenge in physical-education classes.

Carlin Springs Elementary School HRR216K9VLA received a grant, alsowithvalued at $2,000, • Electric Start automotive-style key start! to allow staff to teach bicycling skills to • MicroCut Twin Blade System for superior mulching and bagging students.

The 2016 grant cycle totals $30,000 re®

gionally, bringing to more than $100,000 distributed through the Healthy Grants initiative since its inception.

Partnering in the effort is the Chin Family Charitable Fund and J.O.Y. Charitable Fund.

APS Finance Chief Wins National Honor: Leslie Peterson, assistant superintendent for finance and management for Arlington Public Schools, was one of three school-system business officials nationally to receive the 2016 Pinnacle of Achievement Award from the Association of School Business Officials International.

The award is the second-highest presented by the organization, and is designed to honor those who ensure that the limited resources of school systems are used to provide a high-quality education.

Peterson was singled out for building community engagement and understanding among the public during Arlington Public Schools’ budget process.

Also receiving achievement awards were Charles Brazeale of the City of St. Charles School District in Missouri and FrankHRR216K9VKA Frazee of the Ocean County Vocational Technical School in Toms River, • MicroCut Twin Blade System for mulching and bagging N.J. • superior Adjustable Smart Drive provides variable speed control under all Winning the organization’s top award mowing conditions 3-in-1 System with Director – the• for Pinnacle of Clip Excellence – for 2016 mulching, bagging or discharging versatility was John Hutchinson, chief financial and operations officer for the Olathe Public Schools in Kansas. ®

Hoffman-Boston Graduates Celebrate Success Junior-Senior High School for Arlington’s Black Students Closed in 1964 SCOTT McCAFFREY

rich history,” Graves said, noting that her students earlier this year interviewed some of the original Hoffman-Boston alumni.

While the first steps toward Arlington school integration had occurred in 1959 when four black students began attending all-white Stratford Junior High School, Hoffman-Boston – located in the Arlington View community just south of Columbia Pike – was until its closing in 1964 an all-black school.

The following fall, students were dispersed to Washington-Lee and Wakefield high schools, which were not only overwhelmingly white, but exponentially larger.

“Our class size went from 63 at Hoffman-Boston to 883 at Wakefield,” said Brenda Cox, who was among those who made the transition upon the school’s closure, and served as master of ceremonies at the reunion.

(Cox and other students were not

the only ones who switched from being H-B Trojans to Wakefield Warriors in 1964; legendary Hoffman-Boston principal Melvin Richardson was assigned to Wakefield as an assistant principal. But feeling that he’d never get promoted back to a principal, Richardson left for a post in Maryland two years later. Living long enough to be on hand at the 2010 reunion, he died in early 2015 at the age of 102.)

While often having to deal with antiquated facilities and hand-me-down materials, students at Hoffman-Boston benefited from “brilliant, scholarly, irreplaceable educators,” said Frankie Allen Evans, a member of the Class of 1959.

Their job was to “prepare us to make our mark on the world for generations to come,” and “prepare us they did,” Evans said.

Reuniting proved a treat not only for the former students, but the educators as well.

“Oh, lord, it’s amazing,” said Hill, who taught music at Hoffman-Boston from 1955 until she departed in 1961 to give birth to her first son. She had not been back in more than a half-century, but noted that the gym was as she remembered it (albeit with air conditioning now).

“I loved teaching here; it was so caring,” said Hill.

Upon the closure of Hoffman-Boston, McGregor moved on to teach at Thomas Jefferson and Kenmore middle schools, and long has been active in education and civil-rights efforts.

Wilbert Talley, a member of the Class of 1962 who went on to a long career in higher education and religion and served as keynote speaker, noted that the teachers treated students “as if we were their own children.”

“They gave us the best of what they had – shielded and protected us, helped to define us,” said Talley, who quarterbacked the school’s football team.

After expanding to serve secondarylevel students, the school received the name Hoffman-Boston in 1932, honoring longtime local educators E.C. Hoffman and Ella Boston. Following its closure as a segregated secondary school in the 1960s, it served in several capacities before reopening as an elementary school.

But to those gathered in the gym, dancing the night away to songs like Jackie Wilson’s “Baby Workout” from 1963, it was as the defining moment of their young lives that the “Blue and Gold” would be remembered.

“Let us rise to our legacy and honor its memory,” Rev. Talley said.

The organizing committee for the weekend’s events was chaired by Rosa King O’Neal.

was introduced last year, as well.)

Pass rates on most tests among Arlington students were between 85 percent and 90 percent; the highest (91 percent) was on Algebra II and the lowest (78 percent) was on seventh-grade mathematics.

There was relatively limited movement upward or downward from the previous year; on 21 of the 28 exams, changes were no more than two points in either direction. But there were some outliers: The pass rate on the fifth-grade science exam among Arlington students rose five points to 86 percent, while the World History I pass rate dropped seven points to 81 percent.

School officials said progress contin-

ued to be made in reducing the “achievement gap” between students of various racial and ethnic groups.

For all Arlington students, overall pass rates were 87 percent in reading and in mathematics, 85 percent in writing, 88 percent in history and 86 percent in science. The reading and science scores were up 1 percent from a year before, the others were unchanged, according to state data.

Commonwealth-wide, 80 percent of students achieved proficient or advanced scores in reading, and the same percentage passed tests in mathematics, compared with 79 percent in both subjects in 2014-15. Eighty-three percent passed SOL tests in science, compared with 82 percent

previously.

“A one-point improvement in mathematics means that approximately 11,500 more students met or exceeded the benchmark for proficiency for their grade or course,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Steven Staples said in a statement accompanying the results. “In reading, a one-point increase equals approximately 8,000 students, and in science, more than 6,000.”

In history and social-science exams, the statewide pass rate of 86 percent was unchanged from a year before.

Carolyn Syphax Young in the fall of 1963 found herself chosen as homecoming queen for what, as fate would have it, was the last class to attend all-black Hoffman-Boston Junior-Senior High School.

More than a half-century later, she was a queen once again, as Young was selected (with Rev. Roy Carter as king) to reign over a “senior prom” to celebrate the centennial of the Arlington school’s founding.

More than 220 alumni, teachers and friends gathered in the gym of what is now Hoffman-Boston Elementary School Aug. 13 for the dinner-dance, part of a weekend of events saluting the origins of the school as Jefferson Elementary in 1916.

“All of us are grateful to be here tonight,” said Elizabeth Rooks Evans, a member of the Class of 1957.

She encouraged those who attended the school to “focus less on growing older and more on growing better,” and to remember their classmates and teachers who had passed from the scene.

“Their spirits are among us,” Evans said. “How uplifted they must feel right now.”

The weekend’s worth of activities was the first major gathering of HoffmanBoston alumni from all classes since a reunion in 2010. It brought out not only two of the school’s three living former educators – music teacher Wanda Hill and home-economics and special-education teacher Louise Hill McGregor – but also current Hoffman-Boston principal Kimberley Graves.

Arlington Sees Generally Good News on Latest SOL Scores SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Between 80 and 90 percent of Arlington students passed various statemandated Standards of Learning exams (SOLs) last spring, and while pass rates were down on half the exams compared to a year before, county officials still saw positives in the data.

The Virginia Department of Education released both statewide and school-system SOL results on Aug. 16. In Arlington, pass rates rose from a year before on 10 exams, fell on 14 and were unchanged on four, according to figures from the school system. (A new civics and economics test 4

Arlington Juror Video Is the First of Its Kind Across State

Called for jury duty in Arlington? Before you’re selected (or dismissed), you’ll get the chance to see a first-of-its-kind-inVirginia video that explains the process.

The 17th Circuit Court, which includes Arlington and Falls Church, worked with Less Traveled Media to develop the 16minute introductory video. Shot over the winter, it has been in use since mid-spring, and is believed to be the first locally-produced juror-training video of its kind in the commonwealth.

“There was a state video that was produced approximately 10 years ago,” noted Clerk of the Circuit Court Paul Ferguson.

But Ferguson’s predecessor, David Bell, opted instead to give verbal jury instructions (with the assistance of the Circuit Court judges).

“I continued the practice, but then decided to try the state video,” Ferguson said. “The judges and I decided we would like to produce a local video. I don’t know of any other courts that have produced a local video; however, not many courts have a chief judge with acting talent.”

Indeed: Circuit Court Chief Judge

Louise DiMatteo, William Newman Jr. and Dan Fiore II are judges of the 17th Circuit Court, which has jurisdiction over Arlington and Falls Church.

William Newman Jr., who headlines the training film, has both amateur and professional acting credits dating over several decades. He even had a role in the acclaimed 2013 motion picture “The Butler.”

In the video – which is available both on the court’s Web site (https://courts.arlingtonva.us/about-circuit-court/) and on YouTube – Newman has the lone speaking role.

“The constitutional right to a jury trial is the cornerstone of our legal system,” he intones. “I ask that you listen carefully

and take your responsibilities seriously.”

Newman notes that trials in Virginia require seven jurors for misdemeanor cases, 12 for felonies; in most civil cases, seven jurors hear the case.

He encourages prospective jurors not to feel bad if they are bumped from the pool by attorneys, and reassures them that the typical trial in Arlington lasts only a day or two. County residents can’t be called for jury duty more than once every three years.

Ferguson said some of the cast of the video came from his staff, while others were volunteers from Fairfax and Falls Church.

Who is selected to be in the jury pool?

Each fall, questionnaires are being sent out to approximately 10,000 residents of Arlington and Falls Church, who have been selected from among voter rolls.

Their responses determine whether an individual is eligible to serve.

Names are selected at random. Those receiving the questionnaires can return them via the Internet or mail within 10 days of receipt. (Those who do not return

New Historical Society Exhibition Looks at 1966 Gang War at Supermarket The Arlington Historical Society has mounted an exhibition focused on what is called the “Gang War of 1966,” a battle between rival motorcycle gangs that took place in the parking lot of the Safeway at Lee Highway and North Harrison Street.

While an estimated 100 shots were fired in the melée, there were no fatalities, although a state trooper was grazed in the leg by a bullet that ricocheted.

More than a dozen gang members were arrested, according to the historical

society.

The exhibition is on view at the Arlington Historical Museum, 1805 South Arlington Ridge Road. It is open Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.

In addition to Newman, Circuit Court judges include Louise DiMatteo and Dan Fiore II. Until recent years, the court was allocated four judges, but the General Assembly decided the workload did not require a fourth, and refused to fill it when a vacancy occurred several years ago.

Local officials worried that the ranks of the court ultimately might be reduced to two judges, but a state study in 2013 concluded the right number, based on the number of cases and their complexity, was 2.8 – which rounded up to three.

Highs & Lows THUMBS UP: To a new recordlow tax-delinquency rate reported by the Arlington treasurer’s office last week.

Of the roughly $830 million that passed through the office’s hands over the past year, only a little more than $2 million was uncollected, a rate of 0.24 percent.

For the coming year, the treasurer’s office will be shooting for a rate of 0.22 percent.

Consider this: If the tax-delinquency rate was 5 percent (and for many years until the 1980s it was actually higher than that in Arlington), the shortfall would be about $40 million – about the same as it costs to operate the fire department for a year.

Kudos to Treasurer Carla de la Pava (following in the cut-therate footsteps of her predecessor,

Frank O’Leary). And kudos to the compliance staff in the treasurer’s office, who use a host of tools to make sure those who are supposed to pay, do pay.

We’re all better off for it.

THUMBS UP: To this idea, since we’ve been talking of late about making modifications to the Arlington War Memorial in Clarendon.

We’d urge county officials to move the half-police-car-half-taxi, which sits adjacent to the memorial and is designed to teach people about the dangers of drunk driving, to another venue.

The half-and-half vehicle is attention-getting and serves a good purpose of public awareness, but is it really appropriate right next to the memorial to Arlington’s fallen

in wars of the 20th and 21st centuries? We’re not so sure. Perhaps a better place can be found.

THUMBS UP: To the large crowd that turned up earlier this month to participate in a “senior hop” for students of the former Hoffman-Boston Junior-Senior High School, which served as the county’s secondary school for African-American students from the 1930s until its closure in 1964.

Those who attended the event, held in the gym (Hoffman-Boston is now an elementary school), had fond memories of their experiences there.

The facilities may not have been as up to par as those white students had, but the teachers and administrators were top-notch, alumni recalled.

Police Beat MALICIOUS WOUNDING: n On Aug. 14 at 7:15 p.m., two individuals got into an altercation with a third at a restaurant in the 4100 block of Fairfax Drive, police said.

The three individuals were removed from the establishment by security, then two of them followed the third and assaulted him, police said.

The suspects fled the scene but were located. Patrick Bazan Tineo, 27, of Centreville and Jose Bazan Tineo, 26, of Arlington were arrested, charged with malicious wounding and were held without bond.

The victim received non-life-threatening injuries.

ATTEMPTED MALICIOUS WOUNDING: n On Aug. 12 at 10:40 p.m., an individual reported being struck in the 1700 block of 12th Street South by a known individual.

The suspect fled the scene, police said. n On Aug. 14 at 2:57 a.m., police attempted to initiate a traffic stop on Interstate 395 at South Glebe Road when the suspect vehicle increased speed and attempted to strike the marked police vehicle, police said.

Warrants have been obtained, but no

suspect information was reported.

MISSILE INTO OCCUPIED DWELLING: n On Aug. 15 at 9:17 p.m., two residents heard a loud “pop” inside their home in the 1200 block of North Rhodes Street.

Upon investigation, police determined that a gunshot round had entered the home, causing minor damage.

Police canvassed the area and found no similar incidents.

BOMB THREAT: n On Aug. 16 at 1:20 p.m., an office within the county courthouse in the 1400 block of North Courthouse Road received a bomb threat.

A K-9 sweep of the building was conducted, and no device was found.

POSSESSION OF BURGLARIOUS TOOLS: n On Aug. 3 at 12:30 a.m., officers responded to a report of an individual trespassing in a vehicle in the 1800 block of South Jefferson Davis Highway.

Upon arrival, police located the suspect, who was in possession of several credit cards and burglarious tools, police said.

www.insidenova.com

The suspect – 19-year-old Isaiah Jeremiah Bishop of no fixed address – was arrested and charged with credit-card theft, credit-card fraud, grand larceny, possession of burglarious tools, petty larceny and vehicle trespassing. He was held without bond.

BURGLARY: n Sometime between July 28 at 11:11 p.m. and July 29 at 5:30 p.m., a restaurant in the 4200 block of North Fairfax Drive was burglarized. Cash was taken. n Sometime between July 29 at 4:30 p.m. and July 31 at 7:15 a.m., a business in the 2100 block of South Crystal Drive was burglarized. A door had been ripped off its frame; nothing was taken. n Sometime between Aug. 4 at 9 a.m. and Aug. 6 at 9 a.m., a home in the 400 block of 24th Street South was burglarized. Several items of value were taken. n On Aug. 8 at 4 a.m., officers were dispatched to the 4000 block of South Four Mile Run for a report of a suspicious person, after a witness reported seeing a man smash a window to a store.

Responding officers apprehended a suspect – 20-year-old Duwan Marquise Terry of Arlington – who was arrested, charged with breaking-and-entering and burglary, and was held without bond.

Summer Has Been Hot, But Cooler for County Real Estate Mid-summer was hot, hot, hot outside, but the real estate market across Arlington was cooler – up to a point.

Total home sales across the county were down in July compared to a year before, but average sales prices saw steady growth in the single-family and condominium markets, according to new figures.

A total of 285 properties went to closing last month, down 11.2 percent from the 321 transactions reported a year before, according to figures reported Aug. 10 by RealEstate Business Intelligence, an arm of the local multiple-listing service.

The average sales price, however, was up 5.8 percent to $681,683, led by a nearly 10-percent increase in the sales price of detached homes, to $960,702. Sales prices of condominiums rose 11 percent to an average of $440,996, while the average price of condominiums was down 1.3 percent to $475,882.

A total of 46 of the homes sold for more than $1 million.

Add up the sales and prices, and total sales volume for July stood at $194.3 million, down 6.1 percent from $206.9 million a year before.

Homes that sold in July spent an average of 38 days between listing and ratified sales contract, unchanged from a year before, and garnered 97.5 percent of listing price, down from 97.9 percent. Of homes that sold, conventional mortgages were the means of transacting the sale in 202 cases, followed by cash (38).

Inventory, which has been running below mid-2015 figures across Northern Virginia, was down 9.9 percent to 630 available properties in the county at the end of the month.

Where is the market headed? Signs point upward, with the number of pending sales reported last month up 13 percent from a year ago. Most of those pendings translate into completed home sales within a month or two of positing.

Figures represent most, but not all, homes on the market. All figures are preliminary, and are subject to revision.

Home Sales Down for Month Across Northern Virginia: Home sales across Northern Virginia were down in July from a year before, while the average sales price posted a slight decline, according to new figures.

A total of 2,209 properties went to closing last month in the region, according to figures reported Aug. 10 by RealEstate Business Intelligence, an arm of the local multiple-listing service.

That’s down 4.9 percent from the 2,322 transactions in July 2015, representing sales in Arlington and Fairfax counties and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church.

The average sales price of all properties that closed during the month was $565,567, down 0.2 percent from $566,558 – a decline due, in part, to a smaller number of single-family homes in the overall mix.

In fact, two of the three segments of the market posted an increase in average prices: the single-family market was up 0.8 percent to $744,853 while the condominium market rose 4.9 percent to $332,957. The market for attached homes, such as townhouses, dipped 0.3 percent to $409,508.

The median sales price of all homes that sold was up 2 percent to $510,000.

The median is the point at which half of homes sell for more, half for less.

A total of 164 homes sold for $1 million or more, and the total sales volume for the month was $1.25 billion, down 5 percent from a year before.

Homes that sold in July spent an average of 41 days between listing and ratified contract, up from 40 days a year before, and garnered 97.4 percent of listing price, down a tick from 97.5 percent.

Inventory is tighter than it was last summer, with the 4,991 properties on the market down about 15 percent from the 5,864 of a year ago.

Where is the market headed? Figures look to return to positive territory, with pending sales and homes coming under contract during the month up from the same period in 2015.

Figures represent most, but not all, homes on the market. All figures are preliminary, and are subject to revision.

Sales Volume Down in Inner D.C. Core: A decline in both home sales and average sales prices pushed sales volume down 4.6 percent for the month in July from a year before, according to new figures.

A total of 5,045 properties went to closing last month across the District of Columbia and the inner suburbs, according to figures reported Aug. 10 by RealEstate Business Intelligence, an arm of the local multiple-listing service.

That’s down 3.4 percent from the 5,225 transactions that occurred in July 2015.

Figures represent sales in the District of Columbia; the counties of Arlington and Fairfax and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church in Virginia; and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland.

The average sales price of $520,691 for the month was down 1.2 percent from $526,939, with declines posted in both the single-family ($627,639) and attached ($419,889) segments of the market. Condominiums were in positive territory, with the average price rising 4.5 percent to $363,359.

A total of 360 properties changed hands from $1 million or more.

Add up all the sales and prices, and the total sales volume of $2.62 billion in July was down from $2.75 billion.

Homes that sold in July spent an average of 40 days between listing and ratified sales contract, an improvement from 41 days a year before, and garnered 97.9 percent of listing price, up from 97.6 percent.

Del. Sullivan Launches New Political-Action Committee islature, where Republicans currently hold 66 of 100 seats.

Sullivan’s new political-action committee also could prove helpful if he opts to seek higher office, whether a slot in the state Senate, a statewide post or, eventually, the 8th District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Local Legislators Report Gifts Over Past Year: Members of the Arlington delegation to the General Assembly reported a number of goodies in their annual giftdisclosure forms, reported by the nonprofit Virginia Public Access Project.

Among members of the local delegation, Del. Patrick Hope (D-47th) listed the most gifts for the period covered at $955, including $450 for tickets to Signature Theatre and $280 for tickets to the Arlington Chamber of Commerce gala.

State Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31st) reported gifts of $882, including $330 for lodging for a commemorative legislative session courtesy the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, and $210 for a ticket to the annual Leadership Arlington Monte Carlo night.

State Sen. Janet Howell (D-32nd) reported $649 in gifts, about half of it coming from tickets to a dinner sponsored by Children’s National Medican Center.

Del. Alsonso Lopez (D-49th) reported $638, including $330 for Williamsburg lodging, while Del. Mark Levin (D-45th) reported $426, including $165 for staying

SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Del. Rip Sullivan has launched a new political-action committee, with one goal to help elect POLITICAL more Demomembers POTPOURRI cratic of the House of Delegates.

“It is frustrating that many strongly conservative House Republicans represent districts won by Sen. Kaine in 2012, President Obama in 2012, Gov. McAuliffe in 2013, Attorney General Herring in 2013 or Sen. Warner in 2014,” Sullivan (D-48th) said in a statement announcing formation of the Blue Dominion PAC. “Republicans currently have the majority [in the House of Delegates] because turnout is incredibly low for statehouse elections,” Sullivan said. “This must change.”

Sullivan in 2014 defeated Republican David Foster in a special election called when incumbent Bob Brink took a job in the McAuliffe administration. He won a full term in 2015 to represent the district, which includes portions of McLean and Arlington.

Sullivan, an attorney, earlier this year was named campaign chair of the House Democratic Caucus, a job focused on raising funds and recruiting Democratic candidates for the lower house of the leg0

in Williamsburg during the commemorative session.

State Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-31st) reported $239, while Del. Rip Sullivan (D48th) did not report any gifts during the reporting period.

Just over half of 140 state legislators reported receiving at least one personal gift valued at more than $50 between November 2015 and April 2016, according to the Virginia Public Access Project, down from 62 percent from the same period in the previous year.

This past January, a $100 cap on some gifts from lobbyists took effect.

The personal-gifts data is separate from a list of reimbursement provided to legislators to attend various conferences.

Both lists can be found on the Web site at www.vpap.org.

Local Legislators Panned by ProBusiness Group: Members of the Arlington delegation to the General Assembly scored near the bottom in the annual ranking put out by a pro-business group.

Like many other organizations, Virginia FREE annually ranks members of the state Senate and House of Delegates on specific pieces of legislation during the past session.

“Unless we get government right, we can’t get our economy right,” said Pia Trigiani, who chairs the group’s board of directors. “We must constantly measure, manage and provide our representatives

with the business knowledge to help grow our economy with pro-business legislative initiatives.”

The ranking tends to favor the GOP; the highest-scoring Democrat in each house was lower on the rungs than the lowest-scoring Republican in all but one case. But not one legislator, Republican or Democrat, scored lower than 50 on the 0-to-100 scale.

Among the Arlington delegation: • In the upper house of the legislature, state Sen. Janet Howell (D-32nd) ranked 24th with a score of 71.2. State Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31st) ranked 31st at 66.6, while state Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30th) was 39th and last at 58.9. (The organization did not include the 40th state senator, Newport News Democrat John Miller, who died in April.)

The highest ranking in the state Senate went to Sen. Frank Wagner (R-Virginia Beach) at 93.3.

• In the House of Delegates, Del. Rip Sullivan (D-48th) ranked 77th of 100 at 66.5, with Del. Mark Levine (D-45th) 95th at 58.1, Del. Alfonso Lopez (D-49th) 96th at 57.1 and Del. Patrick Hope (D47th) 98th at 56.0.

Del. Barry Knight (R-Virginia Beach) ranked highest at 94.5, while Del. Paul Krizek (D-Alexandria) ranked lowest at 51.8.

Airport Officials Hope to Lower Costs at Dulles BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) officials are taking steps to reduce airline costs at Washington Dulles International Airport, and are hoping for a future financial boost from Metro’s Silver Line.

Airlines – and hence their passengers – pay higher fees at Dulles than at Reagan National or Baltimore-Washington International (BWI) Thurgood Marshall airports because operating costs at Dulles include debt service for a slew of recent capital improvements.

As part of their lease agreements with MWAA, airlines cover their share of operating expenses at Dulles and Reagan National airports. Airlines divide those expenses by the number of people boarding their airplanes to come up with a “cost per enplanement” figure.

While existing debt at National mostly has been paid off, that airport’s expenses will increase when MWAA builds a new concourse there and relocates some of the facility’s security functions, said MWAA spokesman Christopher Paolino.

MWAA president and CEO Jack Potter outlined challenges facing Dulles during a springtime presentation. The airport has made $5 billion in capital investments and paying them off has resulted in one of the highest cost-per-enplanement rates in the country, officials said.

Dulles, which opened in 1962, has

United remains the dominant carrier in both domestic and international service at Washington Dulles International Airport.

UNITED AIRLINES

seen many capital improvements in recent years, including the addition of a second control tower, parking structures, an underground people-mover system, a new runway and a new security pavilion.

MWAA officials said Dulles’ cost per enplanement, which peaked at just over $25 per passenger in 2013, has begun descending from its previous trajectory and now is in the low $20s per passenger, officials said.

“This number goes down as the airport is able to generate funding from non-airlines sources like parking, concessions or grants from the commonwealth,” Paolino said.

MWAA officials also saved more than $200 million by refinancing $2.4 billion worth of debt since 2010 and hope to refinance another $1.9 billion of debt by 2020. They also plan to hold discretionary spending steady, consolidate redundant networks and operations, re-bid some service contracts and maximize information-

technology efficiencies.

MWAA leaders also hope to increase enplanements (i.e., boardings) at Dulles from 10.7 million in 2015 to 11.8 million by 2020.

Airlines operating larger, wide-body airplanes pay more for individual landing fees at Dulles than at Reagan National, as those costs are based on aircraft weight.

Dulles handles more huge airplanes such as the Boeing 747 and 777 and Airbus A380, A340 and A330 – all of which are heavier than the Boeing 757, the largest plane allowed at Reagan National.

Dulles’ market share has declined in the last five years compared with Reagan National, which is run by MWAA, and BWI, which is operated by the Maryland state government.

Reagan National has gained the most market share, handling 27 percent more passengers between 2010 and 2015, while BWI’s passenger totals rose 9 percent during the same period. By contrast, Dulles’

ton Treasurer Carla de la Pava said.

Indeed: The $9.92 million in tax receipts received for the April-May-June 2016 time frame represent an increase of 3.6 percent over the same period in 2015.

(Distributions from the state government to localities represent taxes on sales that occurred two months prior.)

Arlington Commission of Revenue Ingrid Morroy, whose office does audits of the tax receipts, said “a lot of factors” could affect figures up or down. Two over the past year that helped to hold back growth were an exodus of businesses from Ballston Common Mall as it prepared for renovation, and the January 2016 blizzard that had no comparable event a year before.

Because the audit of fourth-quarter figures has not been completed, the final fiscal-year totals could change slightly when a final report is issued.

Until 2010, localities in Northern Virginia merely accepted the funds that

the state government provided, without checking on accuracy.

That year, “we noticed that more than $4.5 million had been credited to surrounding localities instead of Arlington,” Morroy said, providing an incentive to look more closely at the numbers.

“We continue to perform these audits,” Morroy said. “Currently, the errors are much smaller – less than $100,000 annually – because we make sure that businesses use the correct locality code for Arlington and neighboring jurisdictions.”

Business Briefcase SALES-TAX RECEIPTS IN SLIGHTLY POSITIVE TERRITORY: Despite some

wobbling last fall and winter, sales-tax receipts distributed by the state government to Arlington County coffers in the fiscal year ending June 30 were higher – if ever so slightly – than a year before, according to new figures.

The county government received $39.68 million in sales-tax disbursements in fiscal 2016, according to figures from the Arlington County treasurer’s office.

That’s up about 0.2 percent from the $39.61 million in local sales tax generated by retail sales a year before.

The fiscal year, which began in July 2015, started strong, with a year-overyear increase of about $94,300 during its first three months. But second- and thirdquarter figures were down by $159,600 and $199,100, respectively.

“The unaudited numbers for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 seem to pull us back ahead of fiscal 2015 for the year,” Arling-

GATE OPENING AT FORT MYER COULD BOOST LOCAL BUSINESSES: U.S. Army

officials say they are hopeful a new gate option will help businesses located near Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

Effective Aug. 1, the entrance to the Henry Gate on the Route 50 (Fort Myer) side of the installation, near Pershing Drive, reopened to incoming pedestrians carrying Department of Defense ID

market share fell 8 percent.

During a July 21 ceremony at Dulles celebrating Virginia’s $50 million contribution to reduce airline costs at the airport, Gov. McAuliffe said some of Reagan National’s success has occurred because Congress continues to expand the airport’s perimeter rule, which determines the maximum distance of flights to and from the facility.

The extension of Metro’s Silver Line from Reston to Dulles and farther into Loudoun County likely will result in 6 to 7 percent more Dulles passenger traffic initially, then increase over time as airport users become knowledgeable about and comfortable with the new transit option, a Dulles official said at the July 21 event.

Construction of the extension, which is the second phase of the 23-mile-long Silver Line project, began in 2015 and will take about five years. Project officials have not finalized a completion date.

About 65.5 million square feet of new commercial space and 54,050 new residential units will be built along the Dulles Corridor, with more than half those totals occurring in Tysons, MWAA officials said.

Dulles packs a strong economic punch in Northern Virginia, with 144,515 jobs directly related to the airport, plus another 103,191 indirect or induced positions.

The facility produces about $5 billion in direct labor income and an equal amount from induced or indirect sources, officials said.

cards.

(The gate remains closed to vehicular traffic; any pedestrian, with or without military ID, can exit the base on foot using the gate.)

“The reopening is a win-win for base personnel and some Arlington businesses that are a stone’s throw across Arlington Boulevard from Henry Gate,” base officials said in a statement.

“Arlington business owners have lamented the fact that Fort Myer personnel could not easily frequent their shops, since the drive or walk around and out of Fort Myer’s [main] Hatfield Gate has been time-consuming and inconvenient – nearly a two-mile stretch,” officials said.

Those with military ID, including family members and retirees, must register at the Fort Myer Visitor Control Center before using the Henry Gate. For information about the registration process, call (703) 696-8968.

Tax-Delinquency Rate Again Reaches Record-Low Amount

America’s Best Agents I have some exciting news to share!

REAL Trends, the nation’s leading residential real estate research organization, recently published its 2016 list of America’s Best Real Estate Agents.

Thanks to the support of clients and friends like you, I have been named one of the best agents in Virginia.

Members of the compliance staff of the Arlington County Treasurer’s Office celebrate their new record-low tax-delinquency rate of 0.24 percent, with a goal of 0.22 percent this coming year.

linquency rate were 5 percent, that shortfall would stand at more than $40 million a year – nearly the cost of taxpayer funding for the Arlington County Fire Department.

The “carrot” side of the equation is creating programs to help taxpayers remember to pay their bills on time, and give them options (within the bounds of state law) when they cannot. The “stick” comes with vigorous enforcement; this past year saw a record number of vehicle seizures, up 39 percent from a year before, for example.

Delinquent personal-property taxes make up the bulk of the office’s collection efforts; the $1.86 million deemed delinquent in fiscal 2016 marked the first time in modern history that figure had been less than $2 million for a year. About $170,000 was owed in real estate taxes, one-third the amount reported a decade ago.

“What do you say we get under $2 million total?” de la Pava said in announcing her goal for fiscal 2017 was a 0.22-percent delinquency rate.

“Do you think you can make it?” the treasurer queried her staff.

After the announcement, de la Pava said she had considered asking the staff to shoot for 0.23 percent, but decided to

make the target a little more challenging.

“They seem to do whatever we put in front of them,” she said of her compliance staff.

This will be the first fall of the last three that de la Pava has not faced the voters. In November 2014, she was unopposed in a special election to fill out the term of veteran O’Leary, who retired.

Last November, she was unopposed for a full four-year term.

Before being appointed and then elected to the top job, de la Pava had served for six years as chief deputy to O’Leary.

W-L Looks To Its Skill Returners

Teeing Off

A Busy Summer of Travel for Teams and Individuals In some ways, the summer sports seasons are nothing more than a time to amass a huge travel log for local amateur athletes and teams.

Dave Facinoli

Generals Start on Road This Friday DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Can the Washington-Lee Generals extend their streak of earning a fourth straight playoff berth this fall?

FOOTBALL PREVIEW That will be one of the questions when the high school football team opens its season Aug. 26.

Washington-Lee finished 5-6 last fall, defeating Arlington rival Yorktown, 27-7, in its final regular-season game, then losing to eventual state champion Westfield in a first-round contest of the 6A North Region playoffs.

“We have some really talented players and a lot of new guys, and we are working hard to improve,” W-L coach Josh Shapiro said. “The attitude is good.

They want to build off of last year.”

Washington-Lee opens Friday on the road at 7 p.m. against the Mount Vernon Majors in a non-conference contest.

O’Connell Has New Schedule, Offense This Fall DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

A pioneering type of high school football season awaits the Bishop O’Connell Knights this fall.

FOOTBALL PREVIEW O’Connell opens the campaign Saturday, Aug. 27 at 12:30 p.m. near Baltimore against Archbishop Curley.

That will be the first of 10 games in a complete independent schedule for the Knights; the team withdrew in football from the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference after last season.

O’Connell’s 2016 slate of games includes showdowns against longtime Northern Virginia private-school rivals Bishop Ireton and Paul VI, also former members of the WCAC in football.

16

August 25, 2016

O’Connell finished 1-9, 0-7 last fall, losing its final seven games – all against WCAC opponents – when the Knights had a young team and struggled on defense against bigger WCAC rivals.

“It’s not a schedule like the WCAC, but it’s still a good tough schedule,” O’Connell coach Colin Disch said of 2016. “Every game will be a challenge, and we want them to be a challenge.”

O’Connell will run a different offense this fall, moving away from the finesse, pass-oriented spread to the more physical old-school two-back, huddle-afterevery-play, downhill running attack with the quarterback under center and pass plays mixed in.

“That kind of fits my style of creating physicality more,” Disch said.

“There is something about huddling after every play. So many teams run the

spread now, defenses aren’t used to the old two-back sets.”

Running that offense will be strongarmed 6-foot-2 junior quarterback Matthew Branson, a transfer student.

Running backs will be returning senior Stacy Watts and classmate Keith Evans. Seniors Toren Pride and Amair Johnson return at wide receiver and tight end, respectively. Junior Bradley Magee is another returning wideout.

Senior Josh Putnam and center Adam Johnson are a couple of offensive linemen. Ethan Torres is the place-kicker-punter.

“The line is young, but I think we will have a balanced offense,” Disch said.

On defense, Watts and Pride will be in the secondary, Amair Johnson is a

Teams and individual athletes travel all over to compete or be part of all types of summer sports, and there are many examples.

Washington-Lee High School graduate Hunter Gray, now a college baseball player, spent the summer in Myrtle Beach, S.C. working as an intern at the huge and busy eight-field Ripken Experience baseball complex.

Gray worked all kinds of jobs, from game announcer, to field prep to rewriting a trivia-question book.

Various Arlington Babe Ruth baseball teams were up and down the East Coast playing in tournaments.

The Ferrick parents of Vienna traveled all over this summer as their daughter, Siena, and son, Tommy, participated in golf and Little League baseball competitions.

The Vienna American Little League Major All-Stars were in Norfolk, then Georgia playing in state and region baseball tournaments. In girls softball, the McLean Little League 10-11 all-stars were in southwest Virginia, then far western Tennessee doing the same.

Local swimmers and divers were all over performing in region and national meets.

The McLean Youth Soccer Hotspur Green boys 15-under team won a national title in Texas.

The Vienna Post 180 American Legion baseball squad spent a few days in Danville competing in the annual state tournament.

Then there were the many far away locales so many summer travel baseball and AAU softball teams visited for competitions. Myrtle Beach was one of those destinations.

As is the case during most summers, the travel logs were full for all kinds of local teams and athletes and many of their parents and families.

A 19 Straight Diving Championships for Washington Golf DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Led by divers Abby Didawick and Katherine Tramonte in their final seasons, the Washington Golf & Country team finished DIVING Club 6-0 and won its 19th straight Country Club Swimming and Division Association diving championship earlier this summer.

Didawick is the only girl diver in CCSDA history to win individual league titles in every age group and capture eight consecutive championships. She will attend the University of Kentucky.

Tramonte, who competed for Washington Golf for more than a decade, is attending The College of Charleston.

Didawick placed fourth in the girls Liberty Conference meet during the winter’s high school season for Yorktown.

“We graduated two very dedicated and wonderful young ladies,” said Washington Golf coach Amy Kress, who has guided the team to all 19 championships.

The Washington Golf dive team won a 19th straight league championship this summer.

In dual meets, Washington Golf defeated Army Navy, 48-42, Manor, 4940, Congressional, 74-12, Bethesda, 6721, Chevy Chase, 56-34, and Kenwood, 64-25.

In the overall league championship

meet, Washington Golf amassed 126 points to 95 for second-place Manor and 90 for third-place Army Navy.

In the 8-under girls age group at the championships for Washington Golf, Kate Normile was first and Kate Loper

fifth. In the 8-under boys, Kyle Peterson was sixth and T.J. Reardon 11th.

In 9-10 girls, Elice Lebedev was second, Olivia Hays sixth and Ingrid Knutson ninth. In 9-10 boys, Garrett Peterson was third and Will Trimmer 10th.

In 11-12 girls, Avery Nassetta was third and Pamela Grace Von Seelen fourth. For the 11-12 boys, Harper Thornett won and set a new league record and Peter Bratti placed fourth.

In 13-14 girls, Meredith Peterson was second and Nicole Garibaldi sixth.

Leading the 13-14 boys was Charlie Beall’s second and Matthew Green’s seventh.

Didawick was second in 15-18 girls and Olivia Egge was third. Daniel Green was ninth and Henry Rehr 10th in 15-18 boys.

Normile, Loper, Lebedev and Trimmer were first-time divers. Green and Rehr were age 13 who dove up into the 15-18 group.

Assistant coaches under Kress for the Washington Golf team were Ben Schiesl, Regan Westwood and Wes Mattice.

It Was a Baseball-Filled Summer for Washington-Lee Grad DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

For Hunter Gray, his summer-long experience at two popular baseball venues is one he’ll always remember.

First, the Washington-Lee High School graduate and rising junior and member of the Lancaster Bible baseball team was in BASEBALL College Myrtle Beach at the Ripken Experience complex. That was from June 8 to Aug. 10, working as a jack-of-all-trades intern to earn college credits toward his sports-marketing degree.

“It was a lot of fun. I didn’t want to be anywhere else,” Gray said. “I would probably do it again.”

Gray lived rent-free and had a weekly living stipend. He worked 7 to 8 hours a day, five or six days a week. Among other things, his duties included being in charge of games – announcing and working the score-

Generals Continued from Page 16

“That will be a test,” Shapiro said.

“Mount Vernon is better than last year.”

One of the top returning players for the Generals is speedy senior wide receiver/defensive back Quinn Parks. He also will return kicks. Parks will be relied on heavily because he was a gamechanger and one of the most explosive players in the Liberty Conference last

book and scoreboard – doing field work, updating social-media sites, and his special project was to rewrite the complex’s baseball-trivia book.

Gray needed 250 hours to earn his credits. He worked 340.

“The things I did there were exactly what I was

looking to do,” Gray said. “It was a lot of baseball operations.”

Part of his experience was meeting a number of former standout Major League players such as Cal Ripken, Bobby Richardson, Dale Murphy, Jeff Bagwell, Bobby Valentine, Andre Dawson, Bret Saberhagen and others.

After coming home from Myrtle Beach to spend a few days, Gray then spent a week at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, N.Y. coaching a 12-under Arlington travel team in a tournament along with his father, Bart, and brother, Foster. He was scheduled to head back to college Aug. 24.

For the Lancaster Bible team this past spring season, the versatile Gray batted .297 in 33 games. The 6-foot-1 outfielder belted three home runs, had four doubles and 16 RBI. On the mound, the right-hander had a 1-2 pitching record with a 1.69 earned run average in 16 innings.

fall.

“We expect and need him to have a big season,” Shapiro said.

Other top returners for W-L are senior running back/linebacker Larry Carpenter, senior wide receiver/defensive end Nick Miller, senior running back/linebacker Tommy Ellis, senior middle linebacker Ethan Hall, senior defensive lineman Tony Auguste and senior receiver/defensive back Andrew Malone, who wound up as a replacement starting quarterback last year.

The Generals’ most inexperienced area is on the offensive line, with just

one returning starter (junior Gabriel Matteson) and not a lot of size.

As a result, expect starting quarterback Ricardo Mestre to throw the ball a lot and quickly with quick dropbacks.

Enriquez “was a wonderful person – [he] came to Marymount two years ago with a plan to study hard for his degree and get a good job to support his family, including his daughter,” said his faculty adviser, Dr. Diane Murphy, chair of the Information Technology, Management Sciences and Cybersecurity Department.

Murphy said Enriquez had secured an internship with the Catholic Diocese of Arlington, which led to an informationtechnology job there.

“His success at school as an undergraduate motivated him to study more, and he was in my office this summer looking at the possibility of a master’s degree,” she said.

The Pablo Enriquez Memorial Scholarship will be awarded annually to Marymount students pursuing degrees in information technology.

“It is a profoundly fitting tribute to Pablo, who was loved and well-respected in the Marymount community,” said Jim Ryerson, dean of the university’s School of Business Administration.

Contributions to the scholarship fund are being accepted. For information, call (703) 284-1647 or see the Web site at www. marymount.edu/support. n Arlington students Laura Brancati and Audrey Ruckman participated in the recent AT&T Girls Who Code Summer Immersion Program.

A total of 19 participants from across the region spent seven weeks in intensive computer-skills training, learning to design Web sites and apps focusing on issues ranging from anxiety and water quality to transgender issues and procrastination.

Participants were honored at an Aug. 11 ceremony held in Washington. n The Arlington Optimist Club recently awarded college scholarships to four Arlington County high school seniors.

Receiving the scholarships were Charlotte Crockett of Yorktown High School, who will attend Smith College; Olivia Eichner of Bishop O’Connell High School, who will attend the University of Virginia School of Nursing; Rebecca Mercado-Rios of Wakefield High School, who will attend Bucknell University; and Yessennia Hernandez-Haranjo of Wakefield High School, who will attend the University of Mary Washington.

WORK IN THE MEDIA BUSINESS!

Do you enjoy helping local businesses market their products and services? Are you a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment? Northern Virginia Media Services/InsideNoVa.com is hiring two outside account executives to build and manage advertising campaigns for local businesses.

OUTSIDE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE:

Working out of either our Woodbridge or our McLean office, this rep will sell print and digital advertising to local businesses.

You’ll be given a book of business but will be expected to build that territory. The ideal candidate will have some business-to-business sales experience, but it does not necessarily have to be in the media industry. More critical skills are a willingness to call on new businesses and an ability to make persuasive presentations.

Position is full-time and offers a suite of benefits, including medical insurance, a 401(k) and paid time off. Northern Virginia Media Services publishes four local weekly newspapers, in Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties; two military base newspapers, at Fort Belvoir and Marine Corps Base Quantico; Washington FAMILY Magazine, and the region’s leading news website, InsideNoVa.com. Our newspapers reach 130,000 households a week, and InsideNoVa has nearly 400,000 unique visitors a month.

To apply, send resume and brief cover letter to Bruce Potter at bpotter@Insidenova.com.

Multimedia Reporter InsideNoVa, Northern Virginia's leading news source, is seeking a full-time multimedia reporter to work out of its Woodbridge office with primary focus on leading coverage of Prince William County.

Prince William is one of the state's largest and fastest-growing counties, with all of the associated issues.

This reporter will be expected to cover local government and politics, local schools and other issues of the day. Preference will be given to journalists Who have demonstrated a keen understanding of multimedia reporting, including the ability to quickly turn around breaking news for the web site and produce video content, as well as write in-depth articles for print. InsideNoVa/Prince William is one of four community weekly newspapers published

by Northern Virginia Media Services and is the largest countywide newspaper. Northern Virginia Media Services' newspapers reach 120,000 households, and its web site, InsideNoVa. com, is the largest in the region. This position comes with paid time off, medical benefits, and the opportunity to participate in a 401(k).

Please apply by Aug. 31 to bpotter@insidenova.com www.insidenova.com

Arlington history Items taken from the archives of the Northern Virginia Sun. Find out more on local history at the Web site www.arlingtonhistoricalsociety.org.

August 22, 1941: n A Sun editorial derides as “pure foolishness” the proposal by a Nevada senator to return Arlington and Alexandria to the District of Columbia. n Arlington officials are hopeful that the size of the proposed War Department headquarters will be scaled back. n Moonshining is alive and well: County police have seized a 50-gallon still and 300 gallons of mash. n “Pop” Deming has been named head football coach at Washington-Lee High School.
