VDOT Embarks on 2nd Round of Mowing Effort Comes as Fairfax Supervisors Press for More Attention to Medians, Roadsides Across N.Va. Area BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer
Northern Virginia motorists should get ready for the smell of newly mown grass and less-obstructed views of roadways. Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) work crews have begun the
second pass of their thrice-yearly operations to mow medians and roadsides of the region’s streets and highways. In Northern Virginia, VDOT maintains roads and state rights-of-way in Fairfax, Loudoun and Prince William counties. Arlington County controls many of its roads, but VDOT maintains the county’s
interstates and primary roads, said Jennifer McCord, spokesman for the agency’s Northern Virginia division. VDOT has 18 area headquarters in these counties, with hundreds of employees devoted to maintenance work that includes mowing, she said. VDOT maintains 457 centerline miles
of primary roads in Northern Virginia, including 181 miles in Fairfax County and 31 miles in Arlington. The agency also oversees 4,907 centerline miles of secondary roads in Northern Virginia, including 2,621 miles in Fairfax County alone. Continued on Page 25
Local Youth Get Hands-On at ‘Primitive Teachings’Camp BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer
Talking about bows, arrows, dugout canoes, blowguns and darts is one thing, but an exciting and tactile experience to craft them using basic tools and materials. Self-described mountain man Michael Sottosanti is spending several weeks giving children ages 8 through 12 those skills and more in “Primitive Teachings,” a popular series of weeklong camps at Riverbend Park in Great Falls. “It’s totally up to them what they do this week,” he said, joking that the camp lends itself to children with attention-deficit, hyperactivity disorder. Sottosanti looks very much the frontiersman, wearing a deerskin shirt and pants that he scraped, tanned and sewed himself. It looks hotter than blazes on a stifling summer day, but he said the outfit actually is quite comfortable, given that he scraped off the waterproof, heat-retaining epider-

Local Author Covers All Bases in New Book on Nationals BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer
The curly white W on their Jeep’s spare-tire cover and another adorning a red flag near the front door are but two hints at Ann and Steve Good’s obsession with the Washington Nationals. The Great Falls couple’s home has copious displays of baseball memorabilia, from kitschy souvenir garden gnomes and bobblehead dolls to carefully preserved autographed baseballs, old-style “tobacco” cards of Hall of Famers and bats signed by Pete Rose and other famous players. While searching for books about the Nationals, Ann Good discovered there weren’t any and decided to write one that she would be tempted to buy. The result, “Washington Nationals A to Z,” is crammed with statistics and trivia not only about her beloved Nationals and their predecessors, but also Major League Baseball in general. Using facts from public sources and photos taken by her husband, Good’s book covers everything from groundskeepers, stadiums, payrolls and broadcasters to coaches, mascots and players’ nicknames, superstitions and equipment. The author chose an alphabetical format early on, but admits it was hard to find material for each letter. Needing help for “Y,” she moved the rundown of players’ and managers’ ejections from
the overstuffed “E” listing and created a “You’re Outta Here!” category. Good lists all sorts of obscure statistical categories, such as LOOGYs (Lefthanded One-Out Guys, a subset of relief pitching), but prefers classics such as batting and earned-run averages. “I guess it means I’m like a Neanderthal,” she said. The book centers around the Nationals from 2005 to 2015, from the first pitches at Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium and Nationals Park (both thrown by former President George W. Bush) to the team’s heartbreaking 2012 playoff loss when reliever Drew Storen gave up four runs in the ninth inning. Missing from the narrative is reliever Jonathan Papelbon’s choking of Bryce Harper on Sept. 27, 2015. Facts from 2016 forward must wait for a future edition, which probably will include first baseman Ryan Zimmerman’s franchise-first triple play on July 29. Baseball in Washington began in 1859 with two teams, the Nationals and Potomacs. The American League created the Senators in 1901 and the team became the Nationals in 1905. Newspapers cited those last two team names until 1957, when the team’s owner switched the name to Senators. That team left for Minnesota after the 1960 season and its expansion-team replacement kept the Senators name. That team moved to Texas after the 1971 season.

The current Nationals began life as the former Montreal Expos. The Washington Post in 2004 held a team-naming survey that listed not only the winning moniker but contenders such as Cicadas, Snakeheads, River Rats/Dogs and Beltway Bandits. The Nationals played at RFK Stadium from 2005 to 2007 and the next year occupied their new home, Nationals Park. Good grew up in St. Louis and likes the Cardinals, but she considers the Nationals her hometown team now. Her next book will be about the Cardinals, which
have a much longer history. She did not play baseball or softball as a youth, but swam butterfly and played kickball. Good studied history for three years at the University of Missouri-Columbia, then took a break from academics to work as the public-relations head of a radio station in Los Angeles. She desired to work for the Central Intelligence Agency and was told by her interviewer she needed to finish college first. Good earned a bachelor’s degree in

Youth Troupe Adds Own Flair to ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’ BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer
Catchy tunes, pointed lyrics and perhaps the most famous tale of all time make Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” a sure bet for theatergoers. Vienna Youth ON Players’ production the classic rock STAGE ofopera, directed by Babs Dyer, features modern dress, strong choreography and several noteworthy performances. The musical begins auspiciously with Kat Fitzgerald’s video montage showing a photo of the Earth from space, followed by images of growing fetuses and plants. Next we see cavemen mastering tools, war images and a succession of good things (the moon landing and Martin Luther King Jr.) interspersed with horror (Hitler, the Space Shuttle Challenger explosion, O.J. Simpson, 9/11 and – sigh! – the two leading 2016 presidential candidates). The play kicks off with Jesus (Neal Going) ministering to his loving flock. Going brings appropriate outrage and humility to the lead role, combining a generous spirit with moral indignation, exhaustion, despair and resignation. One of Christ’s apostles, Judas (Luke Hemmingson), warns him against conspicuously rousing the rabble. This is one of the play’s pivotal roles, and Hemmingson gives it plenty of anguish and self-
loathing, especially during his betrayal. Jesus draws the scrutiny of high priest Caiaphas (Stephen Underwood) and his minions, including gleeful assistant Annas (Hana Tawil) and priests played by Emma Choi and Ryaan Farhadi. In addition to his 12 apostles and countless devotees, Jesus gains the admiration of Mary Magdalene (Heather Colbert), who sensitively comforts him in “Everything’s Alright.” Jack Herrin is over-the-top and vampy as Pontius Pilate, the governor who reluctantly orders Christ put to death. Because VYP’s usual venue, the Vienna Community Center, is closed for renovations, the company is putting on the show at Vienna Baptist Church. It’s a fitting place for the musical, although its acoustics aren’t as crisp as a standard theater’s and its shotgun-style seating give those in back a distant, partially blocked view. Despite these limitations, the company does justice to the show with lively performances and inspired lighting and costumes. Lighting directors Chris Fertal and Mairin Haley bathe Jesus and his admirers in blue light during moments of doubt and despair, and switches to glaring red as Caiaphas and his crew close in on their quarry. Costumers Babs Dyer, Amanda Baldassari and Cara Bretl clothe the 40member cast in a wide variety of outfits. The Tormentors, writhing embodiments
Vienna Youth Players’ “Jesus Christ Superstar” adds modern touches, but retains the spirit, of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s classic musical. The play’s final two performances will be on Aug. 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Vienna Baptist Church, 541 Marshall Road, S.W.
of evil played by sisters Kai and Ali Amado, wear full-body red leotards the cover up even their heads, Spider-Man–style. Caiaphas and his fellow heavies are dressed ganger-style, with the men in dark suits and their molls in figure-accentuating dresses. A delightful cameo by King Herod (Caroline Orejuela) features a peppy song and performers dolled up as 1920s flappers. Pilate is dressed to the max in a snug black trench coat with lime-green lining and upturned, vampire-style collar and gold tights with diamond-shaped black crosshatching. This show-stopping outfit
should be put up for a prize. All the musical’s dialogue is sung, and the score contains many top-tapping treats. The cast and crew clearly enjoys their work and imbue the audience with their enthusiasm. The final two shows of “Jesus Christ Superstar” will be held Aug. 12 and 13 at 7:30 p.m. at Vienna Baptist Church, 541 Marshall Road, S.W. Tickets are $14 and may be bought at www.viennava.gov or at the Vienna Parks and Recreation Department’s temporary office at 262M Cedar Lane, S.E. Tickets also might be available at the door, but the Aug. 6 show was sold out.

Our View: Third Parties Get Shot at the Electorate
The conventions are over, and reality is sinking in: Americans on Nov. 8 will be choosing their next president among two of the most unpopular, untrusted figures in modern American political history. Well done: It appears Republicans have managed to nominate the one candidate who will have trouble defeating Hillary Clinton, while Democrats have as their nominee the one person who actually gives Trump an opening. Some believe Americans will turn, even if only as a protest vote to the choices they have been given, to third-party candidates like Libertarian Gary Johnson or the Green Party’s Jill Stein. Color us dubious. But then again, we were dubious in 2013 when nice guy but political nobody Robert Sarvis, representing the Libertarian Party, scored more than 6 percent of the vote in a gubernatorial race that, like this year’s presidential contest, featured two unappealing major-party options in
Terry McAuliffe and Ken Cuccinelli. Sarvis’ garnering 6 percent was surprising (to us at least), but more important, it’s possible, albeit arguable, that his 146,000 votes tipped the race to McAuliffe, whose margin of victory was just 53,000 over Cuccinelli. Democrats are still smarting over Ralph Nader’s 2000 presidential bid, when he may well have cost Al Gore Florida and thus the White House. So it will be interesting to see how aggressive the Clinton camp becomes in attempting to marginalize the third-party challengers. (Trump looks like he’ll be winging it through Election Day, so we’re not holding our breath expecting a related strategy to emanate from the Republican side.) The more Americans take a look at Johnson and Stein, the less likely they are to embrace the overall philosophy of each. Yet with the two major-party options looking so unappetizing, they may play a factor in the end result on Nov. 8.
Comstock Must Go Public About Trump
Editor: By refusing to condemn Donald Trump, U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-10th) has effectively endorsed his bid to become our next president. Trump is unpopular in the 10th District, but Comstock, who has aligned herself with the right wing in the House of Representatives, offers only halfhearted criticism of Trump’s hate and fear filled rhetoric. She has associated herself with House Speaker Paul Ryan, who says he supports Trump even while disagreeing with nearly all his positions. It is irresponsible for Ryan and Com-
stock to support a candidate they know to be a danger to our nation. Opposing your party’s nominee for president would be a difficult position for any candidate to take. However, a few principled Republicans in Congress have done just that. Lacking the courage to make such a break, Comstock is trying to have have it both ways. Is she afraid that Trump will attack and denounce her as he has others who have criticized him? She wants to distance herself from Trump’s bigoted, shoot-from-the-hip bluster, but she can’t afford to lose the
support of the Trump zealots who support the right-wing policies she votes for in Congress. Leadership is about making tough decisions with integrity. By refusing to condemn Trump, Comstock has made her decision. In November, voters in the 10th District will decide if they want a politician who “goes along to get along” or Democrat LuAnn Bennett, who can bring a fresh perspective to the important issues facing the district and our country. Alan Schuman McLean
Editor: In Richmond recently, more than 600 people marched to the Governor’s Mansion protesting Gov. McAuliffe’s stance on natural-gas pipelines and calling for a greater focus on renewable energy sources. While the organization of residents and environmental groups in a demonstration of this kind is unprecedented and sends a strong message, the environmental efforts made by Gov. McAuliffe simply cannot be ignored. During his time as governor, McAuliffe has focused on increasing the use of wind and solar energy in Virginia, mainly by calling for more wind farms and access to solar panels. Considering that Richmond has been named one of the “U.S. Asthma Capitals” by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, this shift away from fossil fuels, and their resulting pol-
lutants, provides a significant benefit to Virginians. Additionally, in an attempt to combat rising sea-levels and flooding, McAuliffe has helped neighborhoods in Norfolk adapt to the changing landscape and demonstrated that the economic repercussions of climate change demand an immediate response. He also has created a state committee dedicated to identifying specific goals for carbon emission reductions. Although the governor has pushed boundaries in his advocacy for renewable energy, as residents of Virginia, it is our responsibility to challenge him to go even further and be more aggressive in combating major legislation-influencers like power companies and fossil fuel supporters. Gov. McAuliffe must convince state legislators to enact a strong and effective Clean Power Plan that will go above and beyond in reducing overall
carbon pollution levels statewide. Having such a plan would allow for the creation of an economically-beneficial and reliable system that protects the health of both Virginians and the environment, since it would set strict numerical limits on the amount of carbon the current energy sector is allowed to release. The only real way to ensure the furthering of environmental consciousness in our state is by continuing to support Gov. McAuliffe’s efforts. Zainab Mahdi Sterling

Board of Supervisors Offers Honors to Vienna’s Kelleher Edythe Keller (left, shown with Vienna Mayor Laurie DiRocco) was honored by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer
Former Vienna Town Council member Edythe Kelleher is not through serving Fairfax County, but the Board of Supervisors on July 26 thanked her for myriad community contributions over the past two decades. Supervisors passed a resolution honoring Kelleher for her 14 years of “distinguished and noteworthy” service on the Town Council, noting she had dedicated herself to preserving a high quality of life in Vienna and created many community organizations, including Vienna’s community garden. She also supported increased enforcement of erosion controls during construction and advocated for sidewalks, traffic enforcement and community policing, the resolution read. Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee)
thanked Kelleher for her ongoing efforts as executive director of the Southeast Fairfax Development Corp., which promotes economic development in the Route 1 corridor. “They really are making major strides forward and it’s mainly because of Edythe and her understanding of the process of what it takes to make economic development and revitalization happen,” he said. McKay thanked Kelleher’s husband and children for their sacrifices while she was away helping the community. “It takes a lot out of the family to be able to serve,” he told her. “You did it with great grace. It’s a difficult job. I don’t think people realize how hard it is to serve [at] the local-government level.” Supervisor John Foust (D-Dranesville) thanked Kelleher for her work on the county’s Economic Advisory Co-

There’s no getting around it: The Reaper will come for us all, and no one truly is prepared to grapple with that reality until the end. McLean resident Sam Simon underwent this existential crisis in 2000 when his wife, Susan, had a near-fatal brush with breast cancer. Simon poured his observations and emotions into a one-man play, “The Actual Dance,” which has been performed more than 100 times. “I am humbled by the fact that people have told me it has changed their lives,” Simon said. “Men, in particular, don’t talk much.” “The Actual Dance” refers to the sensation Simon experienced during his wife’s health crisis. He imagined a brightly lighted ballroom with an orchestra tuning their instruments, all for the moment when he and his wife would have to part for good. His wife was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 54, just two years younger than her mother was when she succumbed to the disease. Simon’s mother also died from breast cancer in 1973. Simon had an out-ofbody sensation then and said he saw the whirlwind of her life spirit departing. “People will come up to me after the show and tell of similar experiences,” he said. “They’re afraid to talk about it out loud for fear of being called crazy.” The play interweaves flashbacks of Simon’s courtship of his future wife and of her previous medical scares and surgeries. “The Actual Dance” is highly autobiographical, and Simon admits to some discomfort at making the details public. His wife knew he had been writing the play in the second half of 2012, but it was not until they were headed to New York for a performance the following year that Simon read it to her on the train. “She’s been very supportive and tries to come as often as possible” to the shows, Simon said. “We usually have discussions afterward and she joins the conversations.” He also came up with pseudonyms for the doctors, one of whom, “Dr. Happy,” still works at Inova Fairfax Hospital. Simon usually performs the play himself, but he has adapted it for an AfricanAmerican actor, Chuk Obasi, who performs in New York. The revised version omits parts centered around Simon’s Judaism and reflects Obasi’s younger age. Simon, the father of Del. Marcus Simon (D-53rd), formerly worked as a lawyer with Ralph Nader and now chairs the Leadership Council at Intersections International. The play prompted Simon to take charge of his own health, dropping from 225 pounds in 2012 to 155 today.

mission, noting that she still serves there. Kelleher previously served as an aide to Supervisor Penelope Gross (D-Mason) and pressed her for further mentoring. “I’ve always been very pleased and proud of Edythe’s ability to juggle a lot of things at the same time,” Gross said. “She’s got a spine. She will stand up for things and she will explain, and pretty soon everybody understands . . . It has been a delight to watch Edythe grow into a solid, solid public servant.” Kelleher served on the Vienna Community Enhancement Commission and Hunter Mill Land-Use Task Force and was active with the Friends of the Vienna Town Green, Vienna (Host) Lions Club, American Legion Post 180 Auxiliary and with numerous local parent-teacher associations. Kelleher ran for Town Council unsuccessfully in 2001, but had better luck the following year and subsequently was re-elected six times. During her Council tenure, Kelleher was active with the Virginia Municipal League, serving on its
finance and executive committees. She stepped down from the Council at the end of June. Her departure left a void on the Council, “but the contributions you have made to the Vienna community and Hunter Mill District and Fairfax County in general are remarkable,” said Supervisor Catherine Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill) told Kelleher. “I wish you well on whatever your next phase is.” Vienna Mayor Laurie DiRocco attended the presentation with Kelleher and praised her service on the Council. “She’s done such a tremendous job over the last 14 years in serving our constituents so well,” DiRocco said. “I greatly appreciated all her time and energy.” Kelleher copped to having jitters at the ceremony. “I’m more nervous addressing you than a roomful of my constituents when I was given the opportunity for my farewell address,” Kelleher said. She thanked her husband, Gary, for being the household’s breadwinner during some of her Council tenure, and offered one parting piece of municipal-government advice to the supervisors. “Water and sewer is the next great frontier that needs to be crossed,” she said.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week
An Achievement in Luxury, Elegance
‘Eight Oaks’ Is Perched High Amid 5 Private Acres in Great Falls
Perched high on a verdant 5-acre lot in Great Falls sits a domain best described as the epitome of excellence and elegance. Inspired by the plantation homes of Virginia’s colonial period, the 15,000 square feet of interior space have been masterfully designed. From the 20-inchthick exterior walls to the hand-crafted coffered ceilings, with the glorious pool area out back, this estate home is sure to stay a beacon of local real estate. The property – “Eight Oaks” – currently is on the market, listed at $3,800,000 by Fouad Talout and Pascale Karam of Long & Foster Real Estate. From the moment we are welcomed in the soaring foyer, with a grand circular staircase rising through a skylit rotunda, we become aware this home is extra-special. Formal rooms are large yet remain welcoming, with features like a corner fireplace, paneled wainscoting and crystal chandelier in the dining room. The bright, gourmet country kitchen anchors the main level, while the living room wraps around the rear of the home and showcases floor-to-ceiling windows with French doors that lead to rear and side terraces – perfect to take entertaining outside. A walnut-and-pine-clad library is
large enough for a grand piano, yet retains a cozy ambiance, with a warm fireplace with sapphire-marble surround. Two upper levels incorporate six bedrooms, with the master retreat a true standout. You will find Roman columns, a fireplace and wet bar, along with hisand-hers baths, spacious dressing area, copious closet space and French doors that lead to your own private terrace. A marble-floored upstairs family room leads to its own terrace, and there is an additional bedroom on the first upper level and four more on the second. The recreation/leisure level features a game/media room and wine cellar, plus spa, sauna and fitness room. A separate apartment over the garage adds to the versatility. To sum up this offering in a single word? We’d say: “Extraordinary.”

Clinton or Trump Best for Housing? In New Poll, a Split Verdict A new survey looking at the public’s view of housing issues finds presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump running neck-andneck when it comes to which candidate would be better for real estate. Thirty-eight percent of the respondents cited Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, 37 percent replied Republican nominee Donald Trump and 25 percent reported “don’t know” or “no opinion” in the survey, commissioned for the National Association of Home Builders. The nationwide survey of more than 2,800 registered voters was conducted July 22-24 by the polling firm Morning Consult. The presidential question was just one portion of the broader survey, which was designed to gauge public sentiment on the value of home ownership and government programs that encourage home ownership and housing production. The poll showed that an overwhelming four out of five Americans believe that owning a home is a good investment. “The survey shows that most Americans believe that owning a home remains an integral part of the American Dream, and that policymakers need to take active steps to encourage and protect home ownership,” said NAHB chairman Ed Brady, a home builder and developer from Bloomington, Ill. Among the key findings: • 82 percent of respondents rate “a home for you to live in” a good or excellent investment (the highest of six choices), far ahead retirement accounts, at 67 percent. • 81 percent of 18-29-year-olds want to buy a home. • 72 percent support the government’s providing tax incentives to encourage home ownership. • 46 percent say now is a good time to buy a home, twice the 23 percent who say it is not. • 36 percent would like to buy a home in the next three years. Among those polled, 55 percent said the biggest obstacle to buying a home was finding a home at a price you can afford, followed by 50 percent who cited insufficient savings for a down payment and 41 percent who reported difficulty getting approved for a home loan.

Officers located a yellow 2004 convertible that had been involved in the crash. The initial investigation determined the motorist had been driving the vehicle northbound on Walker Road when the vehicle, for an unknown reason, left the roadway, hit a dirt berm, overturned several times and came to rest. Rescue personnel transported the vehicle’s driver, Henry H. Sterne, to a local hospital for treatment of life-threatening injuries. Medical staff later pro-
nounced him dead. There were no other occupants in the vehicle and preliminary information suggests speed was a factor in the crash, police said. The investigation is ongoing.

political science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and at age 27 joined the CIA. She met her future husband in training and they eventually were stationed in the Middle East. Good retired from the CIA after 25 years and now is a security consultant with ManTech. Good and her husband held season tickets for five years and attended about 20 games annually; they now go to about half as many, watching most on TV. Good’s favorite players today include second baseman Daniel Murphy, third baseman Anthony Rendon and pitcher Max Scherzer. She also was a fan of former Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann and details his thrilling October 2014 no-hitter in the book. During their visits to the Nationals’ spring training, the Goods befriended Paul Raquel, who lives near Sacramento, Calif., and is a distant cousin of manager Dusty Baker. Ann Good is well-versed about baseball and her book is an excellent primer about the Nationals, Raquel said. “I was pretty impressed with it and all the number crunching,” he said, while admitting that as a traditionalist, he found some of the new statistics quite abstract. Naren Aryal, CEO of publisher
Mascot Books, said he was intrigued by Good’s book idea when she proposed it. “Her book appeals to hard-core and casual baseball fans,” Aryal said. “The content was good and it’s easy to read, with a lot of charts. It’s something children and people who are older would enjoy.” In addition to being available at major online booksellers, Good’s book also may be found in the most logical place: the gift shop at Nationals Park. “It’s doing really well,” Aryal said. “They’ve reordered three times.”

Team Wins Title With a 5-0 Record
Dave Facinoli
A Staff Report
Led by a talented and deep lineup, the Dunn Loring Dolphins won this summer’s Division 1 DIVING diving championship of the Northern Virginia Swimming League. Dunn Loring finished 5-0, the opposite of an 0-5 mark in 2013 when the team placed last in Division 1, fell to Division 3 for the next summer, went 5-0 and was promoted back to the top division. In 2015, Dunn Loring was fourth in Division one with a 2-3 mark. This summer, Dunn Loring capped its season with a 44-28 road victory over Arlington Forest. Close wins were over Mansion House, 38-34, and Sideburn Run, 37-35. Starting with freshman girls, some of the team’s top divers were Olivia Bloom and Katherine Shatokhin. Top freshman boys were Matthew Turner, Jonah Berger and Camden Petree. Among the top-scoring junior girls were Elsa Marsden, Alanna Korff and Evelyn Burns. Junior boys were Spencer Bloom and Rishi Vasudevan. The intermediate girl leading the way was Avery Burke. Top intermediate boys were Matthew Warren, Sergei King and Jacob Rannik. The leading senior girls were Kari Eskeland, Chelsea Taylor, Elise Dirkse and Audrey VanWinkle. Greg Duncan and Sam Duncan led the senior boys. n The Division 3 diving champion of the NVSL was Vienna Woods with a 5-0 record and Oakton was third at 2-2-1. Top divers for Vienna Woods were Grayson Campbell, Tierney Campbell, Callie Biles, Cody Redmon, Liam Ryan, Maddy Grosz, Reilly Blanton, David Baurdelais, Nick Wanzer, Noah Wanser, Ivor Brown, Sophia Brown, Ellie Brown, Jessica Fritsch, Samantha Khan, Natalie Lauer, Dominic Knicely, Dylan Paci, Marleigh daSilva and Mari Kodrowski.

It’s not the predetermined absences – like beach week, work obligations, family vacations and college orientations or visits – that cause the most head scratching. It’s the impromptu unexplained excuses, which are numerous and run rampant, and for the coaches who have been around a while, they’ve about heard them all. During the losers’-bracket final of the recent American Legion District 17 Tournament, the manager of one of the teams was on a cell phone 10 minutes before the start of the game trying to track down his starting pitcher. He never showed, and it was unclear the reason for his absence. Someone else started on the mound, and that team lost. Season over. Maybe the pitcher blew off the Legion game to attend a Nationals contest instead. That’s become one of those summer excuses since the team move here more than a decade ago. Going to a movie or spending time with a significant other is another popular reason of absence. With a lack of summer commitment from players more pronounced, some veteran coaches have become so perplexed by the issue, they make players fill out participation forms, specifying which games they will miss. They ask the players to honor what they signed. Still, that doesn’t always work. A local summer baseball team that recently qualified for states was almost minus one of its best pitchers. The righty didn’t think the team would qualify, so he made other plans, then changed his mind and attended. Really, choosing to miss a state tourney? Times have changed and so have commitments, or lack thereof.

McLean 10-11s Conclude a Summer of Championships DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer
It was a summer of championships, technically a total of three, for the McLean Little League age 10-11 all-stars. The latest came in SOFTBALL softball western Tennessee when McLean won the Tournament of State Champions competition with a 3-1 record. In those games, McLean was 2-1 against Morristown, Tenn., winning 19-6 in the title game. Morristown played errorless ball when it defeated McLean, 9-5, in the previous game to set up a playback contest for the final. “It was a great way to end the summer,” McLean manager Gerry Megas said. “It was rewarding to watch how the players reacted after losing to Morristown, then really wanting to come back and beat them the next day. They faced adversity and overcame it.” In that final game, McLean took control by building a big lead early. “We really jumped on them and hit the ball right away,” Megas said.
The McLean Little League 10-11 softball all-stars display the championship banner and trophy they earned in Tennessee.
Katie Stein and Nicky Mallus had hits that drove in multiple runs in the final. Other RBI went to Campbell Al-Khafaji, Elle Ehrlich, Kira Lentz and Alex
Schwartz. Lindcy Nelson reached base twice in the final. Pitcher Torrie McNabb got all three decisions against Morristown. “I asked her if she wanted to pitch the last game and she said, ‘Give me the ball,’” Megas said. McLean defeated Morristown, 11-4, in its first game. Megas had to scramble and significantly adjust his lineup, going to “plan D,” because two players were overcome by the heat and another was stung by a bee. Al-Khafaji was 3 for 4 in the game, Maddie White had two hits and McNabb fanned five and did not walk a batter. McLean downed Florida, 13-3, in its second game. Stephanie Beard was the starting and winning pitcher. White and Lentz were among those with RBI and hits, along with Abby Seigel and Morgan Marenburg. In the tourney, every McLean player had at least one hit. Lentz batted .636, White .545, Schwartz .500, Beard .500, McNabb .357 and Al-Khafaji .300. Previously this summer, McLean won the state tournament as the District 4 representative. It did not play a district tourney because there were no other teams. The McLean All-Stars had a 6-1 overall record.

College Roundup LISA MURPHY: McLean High School graduate Lisa Murphy set and tied NCAA records playing for the Division III women’s basketball team at Carnegie Mellon University this past winter.

During the camp’s morning session on Aug. 8, children were splitting logs, crafting tools on “shaving horses” using two-handled draw knives, making miniature dugout canoes from downed poplar logs, shooting arrows into a hillside and plinking a foam target with a blowgun darts. Sottosanti made Cherokee-style darts for the latter, tying a wad of thistle fluff to the projectiles’ nonpointy ends to block the shooter’s breath and propel the darts through a length of copper pipe or river cane. Vienna-area resident Noah Hess,
in recent years to cut back median and roadside mowing from six times per year to three, for budgetary reasons. “High grass in our medians makes our county look shabby and unkempt, lowers property values [and] is a serious safety issue for motorists,” said Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock) said at the board’s July 26 meeting. Supervisors at that meeting unanimously agreed to have Chairman Sharon Bulova (D) send a letter asking VDOT officials to use a recent influx of main-
9, successfully blew the darts at a target set at the treeline. The weapon, which Sottosanti said in skilled hands could be used to take down a deer, made only the most subtle “ffffffffftttt” noise when delivering its projectile. Jake Geoghegan, 11, of Great Falls, who carved a wooden knife on one of the shaving horses, said he came to the camp because his friend Lukas Shao would be there. A former custom-homes builder, Sottosanti grew up the Shenandoah hills and still lives there in a former one-room schoolhouse. He drinks water from a spring. Sottosanti starting doing the “Primitive Skills” camps eight or nine years ago after participating in the park’s annual fall Indian Festival. He showed an arrow he quickly fashioned from a length of thin river cane. He split the one end of the cane
tenance moneys to resume mowing six times per year and improve conditions along roadside trails. VDOT pays for mowing operations through its maintenance fund. Officials give priority to emergency or safety-related situations involving vegetative overgrowth, drainage and broken concrete or pavement, McCord said. “We will always continue to make visibility or safety issues a priority, and schedule additional mowing and cutting of vegetation when needed,” she said.
VDOT crews monitor roadways for such conditions, agency officials ask motorists and residents to report problems online via my.vdot.virginia.gov or by calling (800) 367-7623. Mowing is VDOT’s responsibility, but residents who wish to cut grass in certain areas, such as neighborhood entrances, are allowed to do so if they first obtain a permit. Residents interesting in the permitting process should visit http://www. virginiadot.org/programs/volunteer_ mowing.asp.
and stuck in a feather for fletching. The tip consisted merely of a 45-degree-angle cut in the cane’s end, which allows it to split upon impact. Native Americans used this method to defeat Spanish chain mail, he said. Working with tools and fire and creating sharp objects can be dangerous, so the camp has a few rules: No shooting up in the air, no killing anything, no pulling things out of the fire and no “owies” allowed. Sottosanti, aided by several young interns, dealt out homespun advice as well. After telling campers he had burned out six underground yellowjacket nests in the vicinity, he added the kicker: He ate the cooked bee larvae, which he said were “steamed to perfection.” This delicacy resembles sweet corn and also is sought after by fox- Instructor Michael Sottonsanti shows 11-year-old Caden Milles, bears, raccoons and other forest er how to direct air into a small fire in a poplar log to create a miniature dugout canoe. denizens, he said.

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.

NOTICE OF PROPOSED CHANGES TO WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE RATES CASE NO. INS-2016-00158 The National Council on Compensation Insurance, Inc. ("NCCI"), on behalf of its member insurers, has applied to the State Corporation Commission ("SCC") for approval to change voluntary market advisory loss costs and assigned risk market rates and rating values for new and renewal workers' compensation insurance policies becoming effective on and after April 1, 2017.

The SCC has instituted an investigation into the changes proposed by NCCI and has set a public hearing thereon in Case No. INS2016-00158 in its Courtroom, Second Floor, Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, at 10 a.m. on October 26, 2016.

fax Library Foundation will hold the “2016 Library Jubilee: A Dolley Madison Squeeze” on Oct. 15 from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Dolley Madison Library. The event is the organization’s largest fund-raiser of the year, with 100 percent of the proceeds supporting the county library system. The 2016 celebration will honor Dolley Madison (namesake of the community library in McLean). As First Lady, she hosted weekly parties in the White House that became known as “Squeezes” because so many people attended. A large cross-section of Washington attended, enjoying unique treats like Madison’s famous peppermint ice cream. “The Library Jubilee is in the same spirit: Bringing together different members of our community to celebrate and support the library,” foundation officials said in announcing the event. Among the special guests will be Linda Castillo, a best-selling writer of mysteries and thrillers. Individual tickets are $75 per person, and sponsorship packages are available. Last year’s foundation jubilee raised $197,000, surpassing the goal of
$150,000. For information, see the Web site at www.fairfaxlibraryfoundation.org. ‘OUR DAILY BREAD’ MAKES A NAME CHANGE: The Fairfax-based non-profit
Our Daily Bread has changed its name to “Britepaths.” “Our programs and missions remain the same, but we’ve refreshed our name, logo and look to reflect who we are today and what we strive to be in the future,” said Lisa Whetzel, the organization’s executive director. The new name was chosen to express “the customized mentoring approach we take in conducting our self-sufficiency programs,” Whetzel said. “For each client, we believe there is no single, ‘right’ path. Everyone is different, with differing needs and situations,” she said. Our Daily Bread was founded in 1984, and grew to serve about 2,000 households on a regular basis, along with additional families during the holiday season. It also supports local students through its annual back-to-school collection. For information, see the Web site at http://britepaths.org. The Sun Gazette covers news of interest from McLean, Great Falls, Vienna, Oakton, Tysons and across Fairfax County.
