Police Pledge to Protect the ‘Sanctity of Life’ Fairfax Supervisors OK Raft of New Policies Aimed at Ensuring Transparency, Accountability BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

A raft of new policies adopted June 21 by Board of Supervisors will boost the Fairfax County Police Department’s

transparency with the public and ensure more thorough disclosure of facts following incidents, supervisors said.

“When it comes to community confidence, it’s critical,” Supervisor John Cook (R-Braddock) said of the policy over-

haul. “The real power and authority of law enforcement doesn’t really come from the weapons they are provided, it comes from the confidence of the community. In our community and nationwide, the community is asking for something different,

something better, something more.”

The 202 recommendations came after eight months’ work by the Ad-Hoc Police Practices Review Commission, formed last year by Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova (D) after county police shot and killed unarmed Kingstowne resident John Geer in 2013.

The new rules show a “reverence for the sanctity of life,” Bulova said. Police derive their authority from the public and incidents where they use force “must be investigated in a fair, balanced and comprehensive manner to ensure accountability and maintain public trust and legitimacy,” she said.

The commission recommended the county establish an Office of Independent Police Auditor to review use-of-force incidents involving law-enforcement personnel and a Civilian Review Panel to oversee civilian complaints about police misconduct and abuses of authority.

Officers now will be trained to interact with distraught people showing signs of “excited delirium.”

The commission also recommended equipping officers with electronic-control weapons, e.g., tasers.

Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler Jr. said the department is grappling with the estimated $1.5 million cost, but would try to train and equip all patrol officers to use the high-voltage devices.

Having undercover detectives carry the devices would be impractical, he said.

The department also might be willing to begin a pilot program with body cameras worn by officers, but outfitting all officers with the devices would involve

New GFCA Leaders to Monitor Taxes and Development Issues BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Newly elected leaders of the Great Falls Citizens Association (GFCA) in the next year will try to protect the village from overdevelopment, expand its trail network, maximize community resources and take stances regarding Fairfax County taxation.

“We don’t want to be an urbanized community,” said Bill Canis, who was elected GFCA president June 14. “We want to try to preserve some of the semirural ambiance, which is why people move to Great Falls.”

The association will continue to focus on land use and “creeping density” in Great Falls, he said.

“We’re going to keep Great Falls great,” added Phil Pifer, the group’s new vice president.

In-fill developments have accelerated in the community, Canis said. GFCA opposes the proposed Brooks Farm cluster development, which recently received the nod from the Fairfax County Planning Commission and goes to the Board of Supervisors in late July.

Association leaders also are monitoring plans to build a small shopping center on a wooded site at Georgetown Pike, Seneca Road and Route 7. The develop-

ment would feature a CVS drugstore with a drive-up window, they said.

“There’s a lot of stuff already going on there,” Canis said. “This would add another commercial destination at a place that’s already complicated.”

Stormwater-management issues also a key GFCA concern because of changing weather patterns and greater amounts of impervious surface laid down with new infill developments, Canis said. The association has formed a task force to work with county officials on those challenges and help homeowners battle erosion and flooding on their own properties.

GFCA also will try to make the best use of Great Falls’ resources, including the Grange, Old Schoolhouse and Turner Farm, Canis said. Association leaders hope the Turner Farmhouse might become part of the county’s nascent Resident Curator program.

Great Falls Library has become the central meeting location for local groups because it’s free to reserve; the Old Schoolhouse and Grange charge fees that can hamper non-profits, Canis said.

“We think those buildings should have a [fee] formula that makes them more accessible to the public,” he said.

GFCA hopes to persuade the county

Oakton Grads Lauded for Their Unique Abilities BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Few high-school graduation speakers can make this claim: “I happen to have very talented nostrils.”

Oakton High School French and German teacher Inge Pisano uttered those unusual words at the school’s commencement ceremonies June 21 at George Mason University’s EagleBank Arena, then proved her prowess by playing “Happy Birthday” on her nose horn.

“It’s dangerous to play it,” she said after receiving an eruption of applause for her rendition, noting she once had broken a blood vessel in one of her eyes after striking some difficult notes.

Pisano advised the 569 graduates to “be allergic to mediocrity,” explore, cultivate integrity, be open, learn to listen and put their telephones away in order to give friends the attention they deserve. The seniors also should believe in themselves despite their mistakes, and honor the aspects that make them unique, she said.

“We can try to change the world by bringing light into it by changing ourselves, one at a time,” Pisano said.

“Know how unique and special you are and give that gift to someone who thinks

he is not worthy or good enough.”

Graduating seniors Jay Leonard and Jacqueline Keene offered introductory remarks at the ceremony.

“Everyone has brought a unique quality to our class,” said Keene, who serves on the school’s executive council.

Class president Leonard said the graduates had come a long way.

“Although we will always be rowdy Cougs, it is time to take the next step in our journey,” he said.

Principal John Banbury lauded the approximately 140 honor graduates who had maintained cumulative grade-point averages of at least 4.0 during their high-school years. He also bestowed the school’s Faculty Award on Razan Elbaba.

Graduating senior Craig DeHanis Cruz presented school officials with a gift from the class: money to buy larger locker facilities for students taking part in after-school activities.

Directed by Tiffany Powell, the Oakton High School Singers sang Five for Fighting’s hit tune, “100 Years,” as a tribute to the graduating class.

Using goofy spectacles and an Aunt Bertha mask, keynote speaker Pisano transformed herself into a high-voiced character familiar to her students. The teacher, who will retire this summer after

22 years at Oakton High, said she would miss her colleagues, students and feeling energized every day by her work.

Pisano, who was Fairfax County Public Schools’ 2003 Teacher of the Year, told parents at the ceremony that the advice they gave their children had not gone unheeded.

“They have been listening to you in spite of themselves, and trust me, they have learned life lessons from you,” she said.

Graduating senior Rania Khaldieh, who gave the student address, said she and her classmates shared a bond of mutual support that could be summed up as, “I’m here if you need me.”

The Millennial generation to which the class belongs works hard to succeed, but is unfairly maligned as “the laziest generation yet,” Khaldieh said.

“Let’s dispel the notion that we don’t work hard enough,” she said. “We are ready to explore what comes next.”

Marshall Class of 2016 Saluted for Spirit of Success MICHAEL CLARK For the Sun Gazette

A comic-book hero, an inspirational classmate and a letter of recommendation all reminded the George C. Marshall High School Class of 2016 of their achievements and what they’re capable of after graduation.

“You don’t divide the world into ‘we’ and ‘they.’ It’s about ‘us,’” Steven Culbertson, president and CEO of Youth Service America, told 419 graduates in his commencement address June 21 at D.A.R. Constitution Hall in Washington.

Going beyond the class’s many achievements, Culbertson added: “Marshall grads don’t run away from problems. They run to them. You are players, not spectators; actors, not recipients.”

Youth Service America is a D.C.based nonprofit organization that partners with thousands of organizations to increase volunteer opportunities worldwide for young people.

Marshall graduates carry an obvious burden in comparisons to the school namesake, Culbertson said, noting Marshall’s career as a great military leader, U.S. Secretary of State and Secretary of Defense.

“With great privilege comes great responsibility,” he said.

The spirit of community and togetherness overcoming individual status pervaded the mood of the ceremony.

June 30, 2016

“I am grateful to be a part of this class,” said Tatiana Brown, a class officer.

She cited the grads’ ability to put aside much of the competition that naturally accompanies high-school life.

Brown, along with other graduates, mentioned emotions felt after classmate Luke McGuire died in September 2013.

The capacity to overcome, perhaps fostered by that loss, brought them closer as a group.

The unity and compassion, Brown added, left “no doubt we will reach our own personal successes.”

Class officers Samee Ahmad and Eduardo Brito-Garcia echoed Brown’s comments in their welcome addresses, as did senior leader Taylor Lane in introducing Culbertson.

Seniors Robert Collie and Elnaz Ghajar-Rahimi presented Marshall principal Jeffrey Litz with the class gift, a set of school flags.

“I’ve had the pleasure to watch this class grow over the past four years,” Litz said. “I’ve been so impressed by your accomplishments, including the more than $6 million in scholarship awards.”

Litz added that the gift of the flags would leave no doubt anyone passing the school along Route 7 would know exactly which school they were driving past.

Litz presented the Statesman Award to graduates Megan Kenny and Spencer Leibow for contributions during their

His address, Barkley said, would be just one more letter of recommendation, one he wrote to the world commending the whole Marshall Class of 2016. “ Y o u don’t know how lucky you are,” Barkley said. “These graduates are prepared George C.

Fairfax Supervisors Endorse Design of Walker Road Replacement Bridge The Board of Supervisors at its June 21 meeting unanimously endorsed design plans for a replacement bridge on Walker Road in Great Falls.

The existing one-lane span, built in 1932, crosses Piney Run and handles about 6,000 vehicles per day. The bridge is 19 feet long by 22 feet wide, and requires approaching motorists to yield to traffic approaching from the opposite direction.

The new two-lane bridge will offer better safety for motorists, county officials said. The span will be 50 feet long by 39 feet wide, have a 6-foot-wide raised sidewalk on its north side and will incorporate several architectural features, including stone facing, to make it more compatible with the road’s scenic and historical nature, county officials said.

The bridge must be replaced, Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) officials told the Sun Gazette in January, because it is rated “substandard” (assessed at less than 5 on a scale of 10) and has been the site of at least 23 accidents since 1997. The accidents included 12 offroad crashes, five side-swipes, three headon collisions and three rear-endings.

Piney Run has flooded several times, damaging the bridge in 2006, 2008 and 2011, VDOT officials added.

The project’s estimated $4.85 million

cost includes $850,000 for bridge engineering and roadway plans, $800,000 for right-of-way acquisition and utility relocation, and $3.2 million for construction.

If VDOT identifies funding for the project, officials will begin land acquisi-

tion this summer, advertise for construction bids in fall 2017 and replace the bridge in summer 2018.

The project will require the bridge’s closure for about a month. Motorists on Walker Road (Route 681) who need to traverse the area will have to use detour routes along Georgetown Pike, Springvale Road and Colvin Run Road, VDOT officials said in January.

Our View: Vindication for McDonnell, But Not Va.

To the surprise of just about no one, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday vacated the conviction of former Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell.

The smackdown to the trial judge, appeals-court judges and the federal prosecutors was unanimous. Justices ruled that the instructions given the jury by the trial judge were too broad and that substantial doubt exists whether the actions

by McDonnell meet the definition of bribery in federal law.

And indeed, from the very beginning of this three-yearlong spectacle, it has appeared to be a prosecution in search of a crime.

There were no serious arguments that McDonnell violated state campaign and ethic laws – loose as they were, and loose as they remain – and the jury convicted the one-time governor and his wife Maureen on what appeared to be the flimsiest parts of the federal government’s case, while acquitting them in areas where the government seemed to have the most strength.

Perhaps the case will be retried, but most seem to doubt it.

Better to be just quietly tucked away, out of sight.

Nobody came out looking good. The McDonnells, once seen as relative models of rectitude (at least to the extent such a thing is possible in modern-day, money-saturated politics) look, in the words of the court opinion, as “tawdry.” Federal prosecutors were overzealous and out of their depth.

And of course, the episode served to shine a spotlight on Virginia’s malleable campaign-finance and ethics laws, which seem to encourage low-grade corruption even though the Old Dominion has not been hit with the levels of malfeasance that can be found in places like Illinois or, closer to home, in Maryland.

Legislators in recent sessions went through the motions in affixing fig leafs to the gaping inadequacies in state law. But there is little interest, apparently, for true reform.

Former Gov. McDonnell may not have been deserving of prison time, but that doesn’t soften the reality that the commonwealth’s campaign and ethics rules were, and to a large extent remain, far too anemic for the public good.

Great Falls Has Plenty Going on for July 4th Editor: Great Falls residents are lucky to have lots of home-grown things to do on Independence Day. The Trailblazers kicks off the local celebration with a 5K run/walk through the heart of town. Starting at 8 a.m. at the Freedom Memorial, runners and walkers will traverse leafy walkways and roads and specially-mowed fields, not only getting some exercise but also taking in some of the beauty of our area.

A few hours later – at 10 a.m. – the Fourth of July parade will wend its way

through the roads of the Village Centre, including elaborate floats by local businesses, Scout troops, pets, elected officials, antique cars and local equestrians. Afterwards, there’s food and games around the town gazebo.

Finally, the fireworks will be launched from Turner Farm at dusk, although the park opens at 6 p.m. for tailgating, music, contests and with food trucks.

In many places, all these community-spirtied events would be brought to you by the local town government. But Great Falls is not a town and so we are

fortunate to have these amenities only because of a whole lot of volunteer work by groups like Trailblazers and the Celebrate Great Falls Foundation.

If you love the small-town feel of Great Falls, think about giving some of your time, talent and financial support to these organizations. And be sure to enjoy all the fun and festivities that mark the 240th Independence Day. Bill Canis Great Falls Canis is president of the Great Falls Citizens Association.

Editor: I was amazed after reading Sam Lowenstein’s letter [June 16], against a Fairfax County meals tax, to see that he lives in Vienna.

Does he know that Vienna town government imposes a meals tax? I suggest he go to Whole Foods in Vienna and purchase some prepared food. When he checks out he needs to look at his receipt; near the bottom he will find a breakdown of taxes – sales tax and (glory be) meals tax. I wish to thank Whole

Foods for providing this information.

When I purchase prepared foods in Vienna, I am contributing to Vienna’s town budget. When Mr. Lowenstein and others from out of town purchase prepared foods in Fairfax County, they contribute nothing to Fairfax County revenue. When we in McLean and Great Falls eat locally, we pay no meals tax – maybe we pay higher property taxes due to higher assessments. But when we eat in Falls Church, Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax City, Herndon or the District of

Columbia, we pay meals taxes.

How many of us look at the check to figure the percentage for sales and meals taxes? How many of us are aware of jurisdictional lines?

Fairfax County needs the meals tax to keep up. We in Fairfax County could promise to end a meals tax when everyone else does. But right now, our schools, libraries, etc., need more money.

Julie Kerlin McLean

Editor: I am a retired teacher who has been subbing for the county for 14 years. I was very shocked earlier this week to hear that our pay had been cut by 30 percent, and that the regular sub pay was also cut by 71 cents an hour.

Retired teacher substitutes offer knowledge and experience to the classrooms.

Many of the regular substitutes have no experience with children, and many don’t have a command of the English language.

The School Board has slapped the faces of retired teachers subs and will regret this decision, when days are wasted by students in classrooms with unqualified substitutes.

MCC Group Presents Annual ‘Friend in Deed’ Award The Friends of the McLean Community Center organization on June 13 gave Bonnie Weston and Gordon Thomas its 2016 “Friend in Deed” awards. Weston and Thomas are the 24th and 25th persons to receive this recognition “with gratitude for outstanding leadership and support of the McLean Community Center.”

Friends president Glenn Yarborough recognized the two at the organization’s annual meeting. The pair’s names will be added to the list of award recipients on the “Friend in Deed” plaque, which is displayed in the community center’s main lobby.

A 45-year resident of McLean, Thomas has been a member of the Friends group for seven years and served as its vice president for four years. He has been involved in all aspects of the organization, from volunteering to staff the Friends booth at special events to developing the organization’s brand by designing a new logo, new membership brochures and exhibit banners. He also worked with a contractor on

the creation of the group’s Web site, www. friendsmcc.com.

“Gordon is one of the most reliable members of our organization,” Yarborough said. “If we have a project to complete, Gordon is always there.”

An Arlington native and Virginia Commonwealth University alumnus, Thomas retired in 2005 after 43 years of federal-government service as a trade-fair designer.

Weston has been a member of Friends of McLean Community Center for five years and served as its treasurer for four years.

“As treasurer, Bonnie is involved with every member of Friends,” Yarborough said. “She has welcomed the challenges that come with every new project. No one does more for Friends than Bonnie.”

A 44-year McLean resident, Weston spent time on assignment in Europe and Africa with the U.S. Foreign Service. She worked for Fairfax County Public Library for 18 years and was children’s manager at

Supervisors OK More Funds for Jones Branch Connector Project Fairfax County supervisors on June 21 unanimously approved $4 million more in federal funds to support the Jones Branch Connector project, which will vault over Interstate 495 to connect eastern Tysons with western McLean.

The project’s estimated construction cost rose $4.5 million to $50.5 million in April to pay for $1.3 million more in construction-engineering and inspection costs, $2 million in extra utility costs and other increases worth $1.2 million.

The construction price will decrease $500,000, however, because of lower preliminary-engineering and right-of-way costs. County officials expect to receive $2 million more in reimbursements from several utility companies, but are leaving those charges in place temporarily for bidding purposes.

There will be no impact to the county’s general fund because the extra construction costs will be financed with federal Regional Surface Transportation Program (RSTP) funds. County officials asked the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority to allocate those moneys and the Commonwealth Transportation Board approved them in its six-year improvement program.

The connector’s final design is being completed, with county Department of Transportation officials and the agency’s consultant addressing issues raised by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).

VDOT on Aug. 9 will begin advertising to find a contractor for the project.

County officials expect construction of the connector to begin early next year and substantially be completed by December 2018.

When finished, the connector will give

drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians another way to reach Tysons, which is undergoing a boom in commercial and residential construction.

BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

The Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce has scored plenty of successes in recent years, but still has much work to do, said 2016-17 chairman Jennifer Aument told members June 21.

“While the last few decades of economic growth serve as a strong foundation for the future, as a region we must continue to evolve to compete and thrive,” she said. “We must rally together to overcome obstacles to our success.”

Delivering her remarks at the chamber’s annual Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Awards at the Ritz-Carlton in Tysons, Aument said local business leaders must continue to make Northern Virginia desirable for governmental contractors and expand new opportunities in fields such as bio-sciences, cyber-security, personalized health, hospitality and energy.

Aument said Northern Virginia needs to bring in more specialized, higher-skilled workers to meet employers’ demands. Acknowledging that it pained her, she said Transurban imports talent from Southern California and Austin, Texas, to handle some of its specialized needs in Northern Virginia.

The region’s transportation network is ill-equipped to support the local economy, so the chamber must continue to advocate for transportation investments such as a safer Metrorail network, a sustainable Washington Dulles International Airport, a competitive Port of Virginia and improved means of crossing the Potomac River, she said.

Aument received a ceremonial gavel from outgoing chamber chairman Mitch Weintraub.

Weintraub gave this year’s Chairman’s Awards to Luanne Gutermuth, senior vice president for shared services and chief human-resources officer with Washington Gas; Scott McGeary, area public-affairs manager for government and business

relations with Washington Gas; Carolyn Moss, Mid-Atlantic managing director of state and local affairs with Dominion Resources Services Inc.; and Manik Rath, senior vice president and chief legal officer with LMI. Greg Wheeless, regional manager of Wells Fargo’s Government Services Group, also received a Chairman’s Award, but did not attend the ceremony.

Chamber leaders also bestowed Outstanding Corporate Citizenship Awards in these categories: • Outstanding Corporate Citizen of the Year (Large Business): PwC. Other nominees for the award included Deloitte LLP, EY, Hogan Lovells and Volkswagen Group of America.

• Outstanding Corporate Citizen of the Year (Mid-Size Business): Cardinal Bank. Additional nominees were Apple Federal Credit Union, Aronson LLC, MorganFranklin Consulting and Octo Consulting Group.

• Outstanding Corporate Citizen of the Year (Small Business): Red Thinking. The category’s other nominees were BrandMirror, Evans Inc., ShounBach and ThunderCat Technology.

• Non-Profit of the Year: The Arc of Northern Virginia. Other nominees were Children’s Science Center, DC SCORES, Family Preservation and Strengthening Continued on Page 18

McLean/Great Falls Notes MORAN REAPPOINTED TO FORT MONROE AUTHORITY BOARD: Former U.S.

Rep. Jim Moran (D-8th) has been reappointed by Gov. McAuliffe to the board of trustees of the Fort Monroe Authority, which is charged with overseeing development and preservation of the former military facility in Hampton.

Moran current serves as chairman of the 12-member authority board, which was empaneled by the General Assembly in 2010.

For 402 years – from 1609 to 2011 – the Fort Monroe area served as a military defensive outpost. During the Civil War, it remained occupied by Union troops even as the rest of Virginia seceded to the Confederacy. After the war, it served for two years as a prison for former Confederate President Jefferson Davis.

The 565-acre site is now partially designated a national monument, with development occurring in other areas.

After leaving Congress in 2014, Moran became senior legislative adviser to McDermott Will & Emery LLP. He lives in McLean.

n The fifth-grade team representing Louise Archer Elementary School placed third in the nation in the last of three gold-division meets in the 2015-16 WordMasters Challenge, scoring 188 points out of a possible 200.

The fifth-graders also placed second nationally in the overall competition with a cumulative score of 551 points out of a possible 600. In addition, the third-grade team from Louise Archer Elementary School earned a cumulative 533 points to finish the season in third place in the gold division.

WordMasters is a national vocabulary competition that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of new words (considerably harder than grade level), then challenges them to use those words to complete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships.

The students were coached by thirdgrade teachers Meghan McGrath, Katie Savage and Jo Ann Smith and fifth-grade teachers Meredith Everett, Lynn Kinni, Alysa Ruminski, Sue Rutherford and Kristen Toth. n Claire Dozier, a student at McLean High School, has been selected as winner of the 2016 Virginia State Bar “Law in Society” essay competition.

VIENNA MAN ARRESTED FOR ALLEGEDLY TOUCHING GIRL AT TARGET:

Fairfax County police on June 23 arrested a 19-year-old Vienna man on charges that he improperly touched an 11-year-old girl five days earlier at Target, 2985 District Ave. in Merrifield.

The incident occurred June 18 shortly after 5 p.m. when the victim was in the store shopping with her father. As soon as they got home, the child told her father that a stranger had approached her in the store and touched her buttocks. The father called police immediately to report the incident.

Target security video confirmed the girl’s story, police said.

Detectives from the Major Crimes Division, Sex Crimes Squad, received an anonymous tip through Fairfax County Crime Solvers regarding the suspect. In addition, a county police officer not involved in this case saw photographs of the suspect and recognized a logo on his shirt.

With that information and other investigative leads, detectives identified the suspect as Brendon Jennings Cordova.

As a result of negotiations with Cordova’s attorney, the suspect turned himself in at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. Authorities have charged him with three counts of aggravated sexual battery.

Detectives are trying to determine if there are other victims and would like to

Police arrested three people and transported them to the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center. Authorities charged Awa Ebi, 26, of Upper Marlboro, Md., with two counts of narcotics possession; charged Albi Aleimaj, 23, of Leesburg with assault on law enforcement; and charged Sieme Goe, 26, of Leesburg with disorderly conduct.

POLICE PROVIDE ‘SAFE SPOT’ FOR ONLINE TRANSACTIONS: Fairfax Coun-

ty police on June 27 began a program to give people with a safe place to complete online sales transactions.

Two parking spaces directly in front of the Sully Governmental Center, at 4900 Stonecroft Blvd. in Chantilly, are reserved for buyers and sellers who want to meet face-to-face to complete sales transactions initiated on Web sites such as Craigslist or eBay, police said.

The Sully District Station is heading the county police department’s Exchange Zone pilot program, police said.

The designated parking spaces will be marked with posted signs and pavement markings and the parking lot is already under 24-7 video monitoring, police said.

“It is the hope of the police department that the location and surveillance will increase buyers’ and sellers’ safety and promote safer and less fraudulent exchanges,” police said.

Many other police departments offer similar safe-exchange zones, in an effort to reduce the risk of thefts and robberies during sales transactions.

Marshall Enjoys Best Season in Team History The Marshall Statesmen repeated as Capitol Conference champion this past spring season in boys lacrosse and finished with a 14-2 LACROSSE overall record, the best in the history of the high school program.

In the conference tournament championship game, Marshall rallied with four late goals to nip the Edison Eagles, 12-11.

Marshall’s season ended in the 5A North Region Tournament semifinals with a 12-10 loss to Briar Woods.

When Kevin Curtin took over the Marshall team as head coach four years ago, the Statesmen had won only 11 games in the prior six seasons. Marshall was winless in Curtin’s first season, but 16

Those Quiet Parking Lots Will Soon Be Busy Again Such an empty feeling.

It’s the case every year at this time when school ends for the summer break and the outdoor athletic venues at area high schools become eerily quiet during the afternoon.

has improved each season since, going 36-23 in those four years.

This spring, midfielders Chase Barrand and Mikey Briody were each named first-team all-region and allconference, while attack Andrew McDonald was second-team all-region and first-team all-conference. Goalie Justin Leibow and midfielder Josh Hurlburt were second-team all-conference.

Marshall won its first six games of the season to start strong.

Marshall’s top returners next season will be junior attack Ben Winicour, chosen first-team all-region and all-conference and the conference Player of the Year.

Sophomore attack Erik Sahlgren was second-team all-conference and ju-

nior attack Liam Colwell and midfielders Noah Adler and John Hurley earned honorable mentions.

Marshall also will be strong on the backline. Junior defenders Paul Plawin and Nick Gariepy were both secondteam all-region and first-team all-conference, while sophomore middie Shota Shiromizu was second-team all-conference and defender Nick Sherr received honorable mention.

Seven players on this year’s team scored more than 20 points this season.

The Virginia High School League’s 5A all-state team was announced last week.

For Marshall, Briody, Barrand and Winicour were chosen to the second team.

For proof, drive through most high school parking lots about 4 p.m. any weekday right now. The place will be so empty and still of activity and barren of anything that moves.

There will be so few cars they can be counted on two hands, maybe three. Yellow school buses have been relocated to those big storage lots.

The fields will be empty, because there are no more high school practices or games. The tracks and tennis courts are still, as well. Maybe a local resident will be walking or running the track, but often not.

Just days earlier, any such high school venue at 4 p.m. was a bustling mix of humans and vehicles because of the active spring-time sports schedule. Fields were busy with practices for all outdoor spring sports. Various games were either underway or about to begin.

Parking lots were a pay-attention, look-both-ways locale, with comings and goings from so many.

All is quiet now.

Through July, there are, and will continue to be, some evening activity on the high school baseball and softball fields, with teams from various leagues using the diamonds. Same with football-stadium fields. They remain active nearly year-round now with some type of adult-league contests or youth camps.

The stillness around the high schools won’t last long. For many public schools in Virginia, classes don’t begin until Tuesday, Sept. 6.

Practices for the fall sports, though, commence days earlier, right at the beginning of August. That’s when those high school parking lots will be bustling once again at 4 p.m.

It won’t be long.

Continued from Page 1 a “staggering cost,” Roessler said. In addition, the cameras still have many legal questions that must be resolved, he said.

“Body-borne cameras are more complicated than people realize,” said Bulova, noting officials still must determine who can ask for and view the footage and whether innocent bystanders could be pixelated so as not be identified.

Some supervisors pressed for action on body cameras sooner than the planned 18-month time frame, but others said the board should wait to see if the General Assembly would pass bills pertaining to such equipment.

Supervisors also approved new communication policies centered around a predisposition to disclose information.

GFCA Continued from Page 3 to allow the Grange to serve as more of a community center, providing classes and other activities. Building a traditional community center would be quite costly and sufficient land hard to come by, Canis said.

Association leaders in the year ahead will follow the McLean Citizens Association’s example and start taking positions on county taxation, Pifer said.

County police will continue to withhold information from the public regarding evidence in ongoing investigations.

The department may release the names, ranks, tenure and other details about officers involved in use-of-force incidents, but only after the police chief within 10 calendar days reviews whether such disclosure would jeopardize the safety of those officers and their families. Supervisors would retain authority to overrule the police chief and require disclosure of officers’ names.

Herrity, who argued for publicly identifying former county police Officer Adam Torres in the Geer shooting case, disagreed with the new policy and voted against it.

“I believe the release of an officer’s name in a criminal proceeding before the process is complete not only puts the officer, but their wife and children, unnecessarily at risk,” he said. “There are a lot of

crazy people out there who will react to a [Web] post. I’m not prepared to put our officers’ families at risk for an undefined public benefit.”

While not singling out Herrity, Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee) said some board members had politicized the Geer case and said the new rules would squash inaccurate rumors.

The naming policy maintains trust with police officers, said Supervisor Penelope Gross (D-Mason). “It will go a long way toward raising morale,” she said.

Some in the auditorium silently pressed for greater accountability. When Roessler testified, a protester seated behind him placed signs behind the chief’s head reading “Say Her Name. Justice for Natasha McKenna” and “Cops with Tasers Killed Natasha.”

The placards referred to a Fairfax County Adult Detention Center inmate who died after being tasered by a sheriff’s

deputy in February 2015. Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh ruled no crime occurred.

County policy forbids the display of signs during supervisors’ meetings. Supervisors did not object to the protesters’ holding up placards, but officials controlling television coverage of the meeting switched to different camera angles when the signs appeared.

Nerves frayed when some supervisors delved into minutiae shortly before the vote. Cook, who chairs the board’s Public Safety Committee, was vexed that some supervisors declined to submit comments about the report earlier.

“This process only works if the board does its homework,” he said. “If board members haven’t read the whole thing by now, you ought to be ashamed.”

View the ad-hoc commission’s report at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/chairman/pdf/ adhoc-final-10.8.15.pdf.

“The real-property tax burden on Fairfax County taxpayers has increased, adjusting for inflation, very consistently over the last 15 years,” he said. “The county continues to spend more money and collect more money per taxpayer, and that’s not sustainable.”

GFCA will educate residents so they can make more informed choices, Pifer said.

“There’s an increasing cynicism on the part of a lot of people that schools continue to be used as a rallying cry for why one tax or another needs to be raised,” he said. “Our goal is to bring fairness and

facts to the picture, not just emotion.”

GFCA members on June 14 also elected Jim Trent treasurer, Dawn MacPhee secretary and Eric Knudsen past president.

All executive-board members’ terms begin July 1. Canis and Pifer’s tenures are for one year, the others for three.

GFCA often keeps executive-board members in office for several years to take advantage of institutional memory, Canis said.

“Once people learn the learning curve, it’s good to apply it,” he said.

Former president Eric Knudsen, who voluntarily stepped down, accomplished much while at the helm, Canis said.

Knudsen led efforts to build bumpouts along Walker Road between Georgetown Pike and the Safeway store to make it easier for pedestrians to cross the busy, five-lane roadway there, he said.

Knudsen also opposed the Virginia Department of Transportation’s plans to add a second left-turn lane from south-

bound Route 7 onto Georgetown Pike. In the end, VDOT kept one turning lane.

The former GFCA president also advocated for the Route 7 widening project between Loudoun County and Tysons, so as to reduce cut-through traffic on Georgetown Pike.

Knudsen began a long-term look at pedestrian trails in Great Falls, with the idea of linking disparate sections. Interconnected trails would let residents visit schools, shopping centers and other sites without driving, Pifer said.

Knudsen also formed a committee to press for soil decontamination at and near the former Exxon station site at Walker Road and Georgetown Pike. A fuel plume despoiled soil and groundwater in the vicinity – a matter of concern because many Great Falls residents obtain drinking water from wells.

“The state official in charge said he’d never seen another community in Virginia work as hard or as closely on a gasolinespill issue as we did,” Pifer said.

This year’s NOVAForward Award went to Mary Agee, former president and chief executive of Northern Virginia Family Service.

Weintraub highlighted some of the chamber’s accomplishments in the last year, including signing up 49 net new members, boosting the organization’s membership-retention rate from 81 to 85 percent and dropping Fairfax County from the group’s name and renaming it the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce.

The chamber continues to build relationships with its partners and advocate on issues important to the business community, Weintraub said, with a focus on issues that impact the entire Washington region.

Local history Items taken from the archives of the Northern Virginia Sun. July 1, 1965: n The Board of Supervisors has approved locations for 21 fire stations in the county. n The Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments plans to study air pollution in the region.

July 1, 1966: n Richard Nixon predicts that the GOP will pick up 12 to 16 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives from Southern states, including two in Virginia.

July 1, 1976: n School Board members are split on the desirability of charging students to use textbooks. n Vienna officials are mulling imposition of water restrictions. n If the District of Columbia imposes a “commuter tax” on Northern Virginia residents, local jurisdictions likely will retaliate, a group of leaders says. n Gov. Godwin will host Queen Elizabeth II for lunch in Charlottesville July 10, part of the queen’s visit to the former colonies during the U.S. bicentennial. n On TV tonight: “Barney Miller,” “Barnaby Jones,” “Hawaii Five-O,” “Mannix” and “Welcome Back, Kotter.”

July 1, 1987: n The newly established Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority has announced plans for $700 million in upgrades to National and Dulles airports. n Tuition rates will drop – if ever so slightly – at Virginia’s 23 community colleges for the coming academic year. n Unemployment fell to 4.6 percent in Virginia, compared to a national average of 6.1 percent, according to new figures. n Virginia’s drinking age for all alcohol today becomes 21. n A new law that goes into effect today prohibits Virginia localities from imposing their own gun-control rules without explicit approval from the General Assembly.

June 29, 1991: n Gov. Wilder’s proposal for random drug tests of college students is being ignored by his own panel dealing with drug abuse on campus. n Tax revenue from the Virginia Lottery is so far exceeding expectations.

SUPERVISORS REQUEST COURT PUT BOND REFERENDUMS ON BALLOT:

The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has formally requested the Circuit Court to place three bond referendums, totaling $312 million, on the Nov. 8 ballot.

The proposed bond issues include: • $120 million to pay the county government’s share of Metro’s capital-improvement program.

• $107 million to fund Park Authority projects.

• $85 million to build a new Lorton Community Center and Sully Senior Center and to renovate, expand or replace a number of homeless shelters.

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES GARNER ‘ONTHANK’ AWARDS: Three Fairfax

County government employees have been selected to receive the 2016 Onthank Award, the highest honor for municipal workers in the county.

The awards were presented at the June 21 meeting of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. Recipients includes:

• Garrett Dyer, Fire and Rescue Depart-

ment. Dyer, assistant chief of the personnel-services bureau, was recognized for his outstanding commitment, energy and effort in helping to ensure the success of the 2015 World Police and Fire Games.

• Michael Furman, Fire and Rescue Department. Furman was recognized for creating Flash Max, an interactive comicbook superhero who shares safety messages with the community.

• William Reynolds, Police Department.

Reynolds was recognized for his innovative approach to streamlining the county’s helicopter-maintenance expenses, which will save an estimated $1.3 million over the next 15 years.

The Onthank Award was established by the Board of Supervisors in 1966 to honor the memory of Col. A. Heath Onthank, the first chairman of the Fairfax County Civil Service Commission and guiding force of the county’s career merit system.

Since its inception, 327 employees have received the Onthank Award.
