About 440,000 voters will have the opportunity to cast ballots in the 8th District Democratic primary. And even though that June 10 race, not the general election, is likely to determine who succeeds Jim Moran in Congress – possibly for a generation – turnout is not expected to be heavy. Arlington Registrar Linda Lindberg said absentee voting for the seven-candidate race has been running at less than 40 percent of the pace of the April 8 County Board special election, and at about the same rate as the 2012 congressional primary that pitted insurgent challenger Bruce Shuttleworth against Moran. “My best guess is we’ll likely end up with a little higher turnout than 2012,” Lindberg told the Sun Gazette on May 29. “That one had a 7-percent overall turnout, while we’ll probably be somewhere around 12 percent, maybe higher.” The number of registered voters changes, but in the most current statistics posted on the State Board of Elections site, there were 436,536 active voters in the district. Arlington comprises 32 percent of the total, the city of Alexandria 19 percent and the city of Falls Church 2 percent. The remainder is in the portions of Fairfax County that fall within the district.

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

During her four years at Bishop O’Connell, Sydney Boll realized that high school became a place of “firsts” that evolved into a place of “lasts.” Some firsts she said could have been a date, a kiss, driving alone for the initial time, or attending a dance or school sporting event. A last might have been participating for the final time in the school’s widely-known Superdance. Boll shared those examples as the salutatory speaker during O’Connell’s 54th commencement ceremony, held May 29 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington. “Four years ago, we walked through those O’Connell doors for the first time, anxious and as innocent freshmen,” said Boll, one of 281 who received diplomas. “As time passed, O’Connell impacted us on a variety of levels and showcased our exceptional talents. We learned so much. Eventually, high school will be a distant memory. But bonds we formed here will last forever. O’Connell is the place we can always call home.” The standing-room-only cer-

emony drew family and friends to celebrate the accomplishments of the seniors and wish them well. Catherine Keating, head of investment management Americas at J.P. Morgan, returned home to offer remarks as O’Connell’s guest speaker. She graduated from the school in 1980. Keating stressed that the seniors should build their reputations. “Résumés tell what you did. A reputation is what you stand for,” Keating said. “Reputations matter, so be careful with your reputations. Be someone of character, be kind, be someone who can be counted on, and help others.” Keating explained that it’s OK at this point not to have futures planned. She told the class that during her senior year at O’Connell she planned to be a lawyer working in Washington, D.C. Now she’s in finance working in New York City. “As it turns out, I did not have my future figured out,” she said. “I believe the best is yet to come for you. Don’t underestimate yourselves, and don’t underestimate your power to change the world.” Keating praised the 11 O’Connell graduates who have been accepted to the nation’s ser-

vice academies. Alessandro Luna, O’Connell’s student-council president and the valedictory speaker, spoke of the important roles the graduates’ parents played in helping them get to this point. He urged fellow graduates to learn from challenges and hardships. “It’s our turn now,” he said.

“Failure is an opportunity to reinvent and to get a second chance. Class of 2014, we are about to receive our diplomas, but remember where you started.” During his welcoming comments, O’Connell head of school Joseph Vorbach recognized retiring teacher Richard Martin, who taught at O’Connell for 42 years

and in Catholic education for 50. A scholarship was presented in Martin’s name to Caitriona O’Connor. Various academic awards were presented prior to the ceremony. Luna, Paul Feghali, Rhys Bergeron and Catherine Irvin received the Principal’s Award for Outstanding Leadership.

(Some) 8th District Candidates Express Regret Over Positions They Have Taken in Earlier Years SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Regrets? They’ve had a few. But in some cases, too few to mention. Candidates for the Democratic nomination for 8th District U.S. House of Representatives were asked not once but twice during a May 30 debate whether there were political positions they had taken that they now believe were wrong. It was a change of pace from traditional questioning, and opened up a window into the psyche of those who seek to succeed U.S. Rep. Jim Moran (D-8th). Some took the bait, others did not. “You learn as you go,” acknowledged Patrick Hope, who said he has come to regret earlier support in the General Assembly for mandatory-minimum sentencing and for state tax credits. “I’ve taken thousands of votes in the General Assembly,” Hope said. When you change your mind on an issue, he said, “you try to keep going.” Adam Ebbin also voiced regret for his support in the legislature for mandatory minimums, while Don Beyer said his opposition in the 1990s to same-sex marriage has evolved. “I was wrong,” Beyer said. “I think I’m smarter now. I value consistency [in thinking], but I more value growth.” A crowd of 250 turned up in Ballston that Friday night, their last chance among umpteen times that the candidates for Moran’s seat gathered to square off. Democratic voters will have their say in a June 10 primary; if past history is a guide, the general election will be a mere formality in the heavily Democratic 8th District, which includes all of Arlington, Alexandria and Falls Church and portions of Fairfax County. In the debate, sponsored by the Arlington County Democratic Committee, each

of the seven was allowed to ask the other contenders one question. Two candidates – William Euille and Mark Levine – said they hadn’t taken any policy positions they later reconsidered. Each professed consistency on all policy issues through the years. Euille, the mayor of Alexandria, did acknowledge considering a run for General Assembly years ago as a Republican, but said he opted not to do it and came to regret even thinking about it. Lavern Chatman said her husband’s fatal illness led her to change her mind and support the use marijuana for medical use, while Derek Hyra said he is sorry he voted as a member of the Alexandria Planning Commission to support a massive redevelopment project that moved out low-income residents. Hope, who in recent weeks has lobbed attacks at Beyer, suggested Beyer should disavow his support in the 1990s for reform of federal welfare programs, a cornerstone of the Clinton administration. “It hasn’t done what we thought it would,” Hope said. Beyer didn’t flinch. “I’m proud of the fact we tried to make welfare better,” he countered. Beyer also took incoming flak from Levine, an attorney and radio talk-show host, who criticized the former lieutenant governor’s support for changes in estate taxes. Both Beyer and Ebbin said they believed estate-tax rates should be reasonable, not excessive. For Hope, the debate meant a return to the campaign trail after breaking and cracking ribs while campaigning door-todoor a week before. Moran announced in January he would retire after 24 years in office. The resulting scramble ultimately led to about a dozen prospective candidates jumping into the Democratic primary, before several

dropped out. The winner of the primary will face Republican Micah Edmond and several thirdparty candidates, but the outcome is likely not in doubt. Moran in recent races has run up 60 percent or more of the vote. Find Results on Web: The Sun Gazette will have results of the 8th District race on the Web site at www.insidenova.com/news/ arlington the night of June 10. Next week’s print edition goes to press prior to the election. Chatman Wins Straw Poll: Lavern Chatman was the winner of a straw poll held at a recent candidate forum sponsored by the African-American Leadership Council. The May 16 event was held at Mount Zion Baptist Church. Contenders for the Democratic nomination for the 8th Congressional District, as well as Republican nominee Micah Edmond, participated. “Voters of the 8th District believe it’s time for a fresh perspective in Washington,” Chatman said in a statement following the straw-poll results. Democratic voters will choose their

nominee in a June 10 primary. The district is overwhelmingly Democratic. Beyer Wins Support from Humane Society: Don Beyer’s bid for the 8th Congressional District has been endorsed by the Humane Society Legislative Fund. The organization said Beyer was the best candidate in the Democratic field to “build on Jim Moran’s outstanding body of work on animal welfare.” “Voters who care about the humane treatment of animals should support Don Beyer for Congress,” the organization said. Najarian Drops Bid to Get on Ballot: Nancy Najarian has dropped her bid to be included in the June 10 Democratic primary for the 8th Congressional District. Najarian had announced plans to run and turned in about 1,200 petition signatures, above the number required under state law. But a large number of signatures were found to come from voters not registered in her district, so her election petition was rejected by the 8th District Democratic Committee. Najarian then appealed the decision, but has now dropped the appeal.

It’s Official: Arlington GOP Again Will Back Vihstadt SCOTT McCAFFREY

www.insidenova.com

Staff Writer

Sun Gazette

John Vihstadt again has picked up the GOP endorsement for County Board. The Arlington County Republican Committee on May 28 voted to support Vihstadt’s independent candidacy in the Nov. 4 general election, just as it had leading up to the April 8 special election. Vihstadt will face off against Democratic nominee Alan Howze in a rerun of the special election. In that race, Vihstadt won 57 percent of the vote to 41 percent for Howze, with the remainder scattered among minor candidates.

The November rematch could prove a tough one to handicap. Democrats will hold an institutional advantage given the larger turnout that general elections bring, but the sheer size of Vihstadt’s special-election victory could work to sink Howze’s chances before he has a chance to tinker with his message. (In a political post-mortem after the April race, Democratic leaders acknowledged that their tried-and-true voters turned out to vote – but many ended up voting for Vihstadt, apparently to send a message that they were tired of the status quo in county government.) Despite Democratic efforts to tie Vi-

hstadt to the GOP, he and his supporters successfully convinced voters in April that an independent voice on the County Board was needed. The same is likely to be tried in coming months. A Vihstadt victory in November “will help ensure that we have a County Board that makes decisions on the basis of building consensus, embracing inclusiveness and respecting diversity of opinion,” Arlington Republican chairman Matt Wavro said in a statement following the vote to endorse Vihstadt. Vihstadt has long ties to the Arlington Republican Committee, but opted against seeking its nomination in either the spe-

cial election or the general election. The GOP leadership dissuaded potential candidates from stepping forward to seek the nomination, so they could instead endorse Vihstadt’s independent bid. “As we build towards another victory in November, I intend to replicate the broad coalition of parties and individuals across the political spectrum that brought success on April 8,” Vihstadt told the Sun Gazette. In the special election, Vihstadt also picked up the support of the Arlington Green Party and of a number of prominent Democrats. Continued on Page 25

Our View: The Choice in the 8th District Race The campaign for the Democratic nomination in the 8th Congressional District is a prime example of what happens when legislative districts are gerrymandered, allowing one party to dominate. With the 8th District reliably Democratic in its voting patterns, the seven candidates in the June 10 Democratic primary have veered too far to the left in misguided efforts to scrounge up votes. With precious few exceptions, the main contenders are simply parroting positions they believe the voters want to hear. And that’s a shame, because the field that has survived to the finish is filled with interesting and, in many cases, accomplished candidates. Individually and collectively, they have more to offer voters than has been displayed in their consultant-vetted policy pronouncements. By most indications, Don Beyer is headed to likely victory, marking a return from the political wilderness since his loss to Republican Jim Gilmore in the 1997 gubernatorial race. If he does finish on top in the primary, then go on to win the general election, residents of the 8th District are likely

to have a competent successor to longtenured U.S. Rep. Jim Moran. Despite his efforts to rebrand himself as a champion of the left, Beyer in reality is a centrist Democrat who understands that complex issues cannot be solved with sound-bite answers and talking points. That may draw him flak from some further to the political left in this field, yet his overall record over the decades has been decidedly credible, and Beyer does himself a disservice by not embracing it. Beyer is one of four candidates in the race we feel represent good options for Democratic voters. Also on the list are Adam Ebbin, Patrick Hope and William Euille. Each has a track record of service to the community, and each has performed reasonably well, if far from perfectly, during a long primary season that seems to have worn out many prospective voters and a number of the candidates. Having to winnow the field, we believe that Hope and Euille, each in his own way a strong option, have not sealed the deal with the public. The candidates with most gravitas, and thus most likely to have an impact as a junior member of the minority

party in the House of Representatives, are Ebbin and Beyer. Neither is flashy. But each has been effective: Ebbin has won respect in the House of Delegates and state Senate, while Beyer’s business acumen, political contacts and leadership skills would serve him well in the halls of Congress. In what is a very close call, we give our endorsement to Adam Ebbin, due in large part to his effective service in the General Assembly. But at the same time, we acknowledge that Beyer (and, to a slightly lesser extent, Hope and Euille) would be Democratic nominees we could support in the general election. The winner of the June 10 primary has the formality of going up against Republican Micah Edmond and thirdparty contenders in the Nov. 4 general election, but the primary is the only race that really matters. It has been a generation since this seat last turned over, and it may be another generation before it does so again. This is an important choice that deserves serious reflection by those going to the polls.

Simon Was Out of Line in Criticizing Parents Editor: As a parent with children in Arlington’s public schools, I was disturbed by Noah Simon’s public chiding of parents protesting elimination of the autism program in APS [“School Board’s Simon Seeks More Civility,” May 29]. Whatever these parents actually said (it’s not revealed in the article), Simon sent an unmistakable message to all APS parents: we know what’s best for your children

and if you protest, and we don’t like your tone, you will be publicly shamed. Mr. Simon sounds like a politician who needs to take a step back. Early and consistent intervention with autistic children has proven essential. Eliminating or reducing services for autistic students is analogous to asking deaf children to remove their hearing aids before entering the classroom. If you tell parents you will eliminate a

profoundly important program, you will get a profoundly passionate response. A few may have stepped over the line, but leadership is about the big picture. Providing adequate autism programs and keeping special-education assistants in the classrooms to assist and identify students in need of services is a major component in keeping all our kids on track. Kate Baker Arlington

Editor: A property the size of the Stratford site is extremely rare in Arlington – the school system should use it, and all of the system’s existing resources, to their fullest potential. Moving the H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program to a smaller site that can be customized for students’ unique needs not only helps the students in the neighborhoods adjacent to Stratford, but also can help preserve the H-B program long-term. After all, as long as the H-B program is operating on one of the largest pieces of property in the county, it’s reasonable to assume that people will be gunning for it, so this issue is going to come up over and

over again as the county addresses ongoing student growth. Let’s build Arlington’s largest middle school on the larger property and maximize its use, and let’s preserve what’s great about H-B Woodlawn by finding a suitable

location for the program. I encourage all parents and the School Board to work together to put the round pegs in the round holes. Susan Newton Arlington

Moving H-B Woodlawn Will Help to Preserve It

More Questions Than Answers on Land Deal Editor: Anytime Jay Fisette is “pleased to announce” anything, I check my wallet. Now we are told about this opportunity to spend $2.4 million was “too good to pass up” [“County Leaders Pleased with Purchase of Open Space,” May 22]. Who is the “willing seller”? Who ap-

praised the parcel at $2.4 million? Did we get a good deal? Or did the seller make a killing based on some prior arrangements? We could have had two bus stops for that money! Joseph Thomas Arlington

Paul Loverde, the Roman Catholic bishop of the Arlington diocese, recently was honored by the Virginia Council of Churches. Loverde received the Lifetime Ecumenist Award during a ceremony held May 13 in Fredericksburg. The oldest ecumenical body in the commonwealth, the Virginia Council of Churches comprises 37 governing bodies of 18 Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant denominations. Its work focuses on Christian unity. Bishop Loverde also recently was honored by the Equestrian Order of the Holy Sepulchre of Jerusaleum for his support of the order. According to the Arlington Catholic Herald newspaper, the order of knighthood traces its roots to the Crusades, and supports Christians living in the Holy Land. Loverde is a knight commander of the order. Loverde has been bishop of Arlington since 1999. The diocese stretches west to the West Virginia line and south to the Fredericksburg area, and comprises more than 450,000 registered Catholics, according to church officials.

County government’s May 28 sale of general-obligation bonds resulted in an average interest rate of 2.8 percent, county officials said. Citigroup Global Markets was the winner among seven firms bidding for $65 million in new bonds. Sale of the bonds was approved by voters in a series of referendums. Prior to the sale, the county government’s debt rating was reaffirmed at AAA/ AAA/Aaa by the three main bond-rating houses. The county government also sold $41 million in “refunding” bonds, with the revenue being used to pay off higher-rate older debt. PNC Capital Markets had the winning bid of 2.27 percent among eight bidders. According to county officials, the lower interest rate will save taxpayers about $2 million.

POLICE URGE COMMON SENSE IN PROTECTING BIKES FROM THEFT: Arlington

County police are asking residents to continue to be vigilant to prevent the theft of bicycles. Due in part to an increased enforcement effort, the number of thefts reported during the first 20 weeks of the year totaled 74, a decline of 40 percent from the same period a year before, police reported. “Police have been aggressively working to reduce the number of incidents, but residents can do their part, too, by following a few simple steps,” police said in a statement. Police are encouraging the public to register their bikes online at www.police. arlingtonva.us (under “Online Services”) and to always lock their bikes frame and wheels with a high-quality lock to a solid, fixed object. Individuals should take photos of their bikes to provide identification, and should keep the serial number on file. Stolen bicycles should be reported to police. PROJECT MANAGER SELECTED FOR STREETCAR: Despite lingering questions

about its economic and political viability, the Arlington and Fairfax county governments are moving forward on the Columbia Pike streetcar project. The two counties have approved the hiring of Parsons Transportation Group to help manage construction of the streetcar system. Arlington officials also plan to ink a contract with the company for management services for the proposed Crystal City streetcar line. “This is a major step forward,” County Board Chairman Jay Fisette said in a May 29 statement. Initial work includes $7 million to $8 million of services, officials said. Funding will come from revenue brought in by local and state transportation taxes. The proposed Columbia Pike streetcar would run five miles from Pentagon City west to Baileys Crossroads. Arlington will pay about 80 percent of the local cost, with Fairfax County picking up the rest. Cost projections now top $350 million for the line, and a backlash has built in Arlington over the cost. A number of elected officials and candidates have called for a voter referendum on the issue. Fairfax Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova said the proposed streetcar line would help spur redevelopment in the Baileys Crossroads and Skyline corridors of Fairfax County. “This area was once meant to be served by the Metro system, and the streetcar will deliver on this vision of transit-oriented development,” Bulova said, calling the project “an enormous revitalization and economic development opportunity for this area of the county.” Shira Simon were honored as 2014 Arlington County Foster Parents of the Year during a National Foster Care Month celebration held May 22 at the Crystal City Doubletree Hotel. The event honored the 35 families who serve the nearly 100 children and their families involved in foster care in Arlington. As

Continued from Page 10 figures reported May 28 by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. (The lower jobless rate was due in part to more people having jobs, but also to the number of those who have stopped looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed.) Nationally, unemployment rates were lower in April, compared to a year before, in 357 of the nation’s 372 metropolitan areas. Rates were higher in 12 metro areas and unchanged in three. The lowest jobless rate was recorded in Midland, Texas, at 2.3 percent. The highest could be found in Yuma, Ariz., and El Centro, Calif., at 23.8 percent and 21.6 percent, respectively. In all 34 metro areas with populations of 1 million or more, the year-over-year unemployment rate declined. Of those regions, the lowest jobless rate was found in Austin, Texas, and Oklahoma City at 3.8 percent each. The highest, 8.3 percent, was found in Riverside-San Bernardino, Calif. Among Virginia metro areas outside the D.C. region, jobless rates were uniformly down from a year before. Unemployment stood at 3.7 percent in Charlottesville, 4.1 percent in Harrisonburg, 4.4 percent in Winchester, 4.8 percent in Roanoke, 5 percent in Richmond, 5.1 percent in Hampton Roads, 5.2 percent in Lynchburg and 6.9 percent in Danville.

Incorporating classic Craftsman styles, it is filled with light and features a well-thought-out floorplan with generous spaces that are equally at home hosting a soirée or providing the backdrop for daily living. Out back, there is a fenced rear yard with mature plantings that include rose bushes and azaleas, adding to the overall ambiance in a home that may be new, but already is at home among its neighbors. And around you, there are virtually unlimited recreational opportunities, from Lacey Woods and Woodlawn parks to bike trails that will take you anywhere you want to go. For commuters, the location provides opportunity to get from Point A to Point B without needing to fight through clogged arteries. The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,479,900 by John Plank of Long & Foster Real Estate. The crisp lines of the stone-and-HardiPlank front facade provide a fitting introduction to the property, which is wellsited on the lot and features a separate garage. We are welcomed on the warm and inviting covered porch and ushered inside to begin our tour. During the exploration, note the attention to detail: Andersen windows, extensive mouldings, threetone paint, solid-core doors, Emtek door hardware . . . it shows the care that was put into the concept and execution of the design. The foyer takes us into the home, and to our immediate left is the study, the first of multiple versatile rooms that can be used at your pleasure. From here, the dining room opens up. Large and inviting, it features a bay window overlooking the side yard. The kitchen area is a stunner, with large central island, separate morning room with vistas of the rear yard and top-

Sales of newly built, single-family homes rose 6.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 433,000 units in April, according to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The gain builds on an upward revision of sales numbers reported for the previous month. “Builders are gradually increasing sales, but tight credit conditions, particularly for first-time home buyers, are impeding a more robust recovery,” said Kevin Kelly, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder and developer from Wilmington, Del. “In a positive development, builders are adding inventory in anticipation of a further release of pent-up demand,” said NAHB chief economist David Crowe. “We are only about halfway back to what could be considered a normal market, but relatively low mortgage rates and affordable home prices are other factors that should help keep starts and sales on a slow upward trajectory in the months ahead.” On a regional basis, new-home sales rose 47.4 percent in the Midwest and 3.1 percent in the South and held steady in the West. The Northeast, however, posted a 26.7 percent decline. The inventory of new homes for sale increased to 192,000 units in April. Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes in May fell one point to 45 from a downwardly revised April reading of 46 on the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. “After four months in which the HMI has shown little signs of fluctuation, it is clear that builder sentiment is becoming more in line with the market reality of a continuing but modest recovery,” said Kelly. “However, builders expressed some optimism that sales will pick up in the coming months.” The index’s components were mixed in May. The component gauging sales expectations in the next six months rose one point to 57 and the component measuring buyer traffic increased two points to 33. The component gauging current sales conditions fell two points to 48. Looking at the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the South rose one point to 48 while the Midwest fell a single point to 47 and the West posted a four-point drop to 47. The Northeast held steady at 33. Figures are derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years.

Sorry, this one was sold before we could put it in the multiple listing service! Although ready for some updating, it had a main floor family room, 4 bedrooms and an office, 3 full baths, and a large lower level rec room. In fact, all of the rooms were quite large. All this on a quarter acre lot in a great neighborhood just 5 minutes from DC. The buyers made the sellers an offer they couldn’t refuse! If you’ve been looking for a property on your own, and haven’t been able to connect, or if you want to sell, but are afraid of the hassle, please give us a call.

They’re not leaving the castle at night, but every morning, the 12 dancing princesses of “The 12 Dancing Princesses” come downON STAGE stairs to breakfast in need of new shoes, their old ones having been worn out the night before. The king is flummoxed, so he summons a series of wannabe heroes to take the case and find out what’s going on. That’s the premise of Encore Stage & Studio’s spring production, which benefits from solid performances, good direction and a script that mixes a little of everything, from magic to humor, into a tale that originated, in one form, with the Brothers Grimm and was adapted for this version by Encore’s Matthew Heap. It’s almost impossible to delve deeply into the plot without giving things away, so I’ll stay away from that and focus on the performances. The king (Nicholas Boone) is a stickler for protocol, so he’s not to enamored that his daughters won’t tell him what they’re doing at night to wear out all those dance shoes. (It doesn’t help that the kingdom’s treasury is nearly empty, and the shoe bill pushing the king further into insolvency.) With the help of his clever aide (played in a winning manner by John Ray), the

king sends out a call for help in figuring out the mystery, with the promise of marriage to one of his daughters as the reward - being careful to keep that news both from the queen (Belle Perkins) and the daughters themselves. The first two hopefuls – egotistical Stefan (Alex Bellam) and hapless Terius (Cort Hollis) – find obstacles in their way, while the third, a hunky commoner named Peter (Kristopher Heaton), starts to figure things out only to fall into battle with the mysterious (and dance-aholic) wizard Phanteous (Adam Ashley). For comic relief come the wizard’s flunkies Tik, Pinch and Stumble (Alex Weinstein, Samuel Kopylev and Olivia Hammermaster). And of course, the dancing princesses themselves: Caroline Culberson, Caste Davis, Malena Davis, Isabel Dines, Kerstin Fagerstrom, Liza Harold, Maggie Keane, Shirz Kunzel, Jessica Layton, Isabella Russo, Grace Tarpgaard and Ellie Wilkie. Multiple plot lines are revealed in the second act, and a fight sequence leads to the all’s-well-that-ends-well conclusion. Director Sarah Conrad keeps the pacing moving through the two-act, 90-minute productions, while the typically high Encore production values are at work in sets (Kristen Jepperson), costumes (Debral Leonard) and lighting (Gary Hauptman). “12 Dancing Princesses” continues through June 8 at Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre, 125 South Old Glebe Road in Arlington.

Generals Stand 2-0 In Region

Teeing Off

A Typical Beginning of Another Legion Season

It happens each year. In the midst of the busy region high school baseball playoffs, the American Legion District 17 summer hardball season is set to begin across Northern Virginia this week.

Other Teams Lose First-Round Games

Dave Facinoli

DAVE STEINBACHER For the Sun Gazette

The unbeaten Washington-Lee Generals (17-0-3) continued their strong play with a quarterfinal win in the boys 6A North Region Tournament last week. The Generals blanked Stonewall Jackson of Manassas, 3-0. The win was the sixth in a row SOCCER team’s and the shutout was the Generals’ 13th in 2014. Washington-Lee was scheduled to play West Potomac in a semifinal game June 3. A win would put Washington-Lee into the region championship game and give the Generals their first berth to play in the state high school tournament. In the victory over Stonewall Jackson, W-L led 1-0 at halftime on a goal by Jacob Muskovitz. “Jacob was on the left side and he sent the ball over with his left foot and it went in at the far post,” WashingtonLee coach Jimmy Carrasquillo said. “He was looking to cross the ball. It went in instead.” In the second half, Muskovitz said the Generals moved the ball well by finding the open spaces. Early in the second half, Roger Rojas converted a header to give his team a 2-0 lead. “Michael Katz took a corner. I was marked, but I checked back, lost my man, and converted,” Rojas said.

A few minutes later, a goal by Maycol Nunez, his 34th this season, gave the Generals a 3-0 lead. “Derryck Aquice played a long ball,” Nunez said. “He looked at me and gave me the look to make a run. I got the ball, took one defender and took the goalie. I was able to score left-footed from close

range.” In the final minutes, Washington-Lee’s Alejandro Maldonado, Rommel Romano, Jacob Campbell, Nunez and Rojas each had an array of shots on goal, keeping the ball away from Stonewall. Continued on Page 24

Generals’ Season Ends with Region Tourney Loss DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Grove said. “These teams out here are pretty good and they take advantage of your mistakes.” Washington-Lee (11-12) had just three hits, two by senior center fielder Hunter Gray and the other by Cameron Anderson. On defense, the Generals made three errors, which led to six unearned runs. Washington-Lee had just four baserunners, and none advanced past second. Chantilly (14-7) had 13 hits, including five doubles. Senior right-hander James Mellin was the starting pitcher for W-L in 51/3 innings of work. Teddy Herbert finished in

relief. Neither pitcher had a strikeout. Righty Eason Recto was the starter and winner for Chantilly in five innings of work. Ben McGrath was 4 for 4 for Chantilly and Mike Sciorra had two hits and two RBI. The three Chantilly pitchers did not walk a batter. With the help of an infield error, Chantilly scored its first four runs, all unearned, in the second inning. “We could have been out of the inning. That was big,” Grove said. The Chargers added a run in the fourth, three in the fifth, then two more in the sixth.

At least the season is supposed to begin. What happens most often, like this year, is that many of those initial games are rescheduled because numerous players are still involved with their high school teams. The season was supposed to begin with three games on Sunday, June 1, but some were postponed because of the player conflict situation. What’s the solution? There is none. The Legion season needs to get started this early because of the tight deadlines of district and state tournaments in July. So, what happens is some Legion teams get behind in the number of games played. Then, with summer weather issues forcing more postponements, it’s often a scramble until the end of the regular season to get all 28 games played. Usually, most games do get completed, with some teams playing nearly every night, including doubleheaders, over the final two weeks. When that happens, it’s usually all hands on deck as far as pitching. If a player has ever pitched, even if not in years, he will likely do so during those final games. There are just six District 17 squads this season, which is the lowest number in decades. So why just six teams this summer? There were supposed to be eight, but the Fairfax Post 177 and Chantilly Post 1995 squads could not get organized, so the teams fell apart in the final days. That’s too bad. Legion is a good brand of quality baseball. But unless team managers and organizers properly prepare and do year-long planning to assemble players and coaches, there can be problems. The six existing District 17 teams are strong, because the majority of those managers begin gathering and getting commitments from players months out, not waiting until May to compile a roster. Unfortunately, there aren’t more managers willing to do the same. So six it is this summer.

Yorktown Shocks South County in Region Lacrosse DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

The glass ceiling has been broken. With the most significant victory in the boys lacrosse program’s 14-year history, the Yorktown Patriots have reached the semifinals of the region tournament for the first time. The win came May 29 in Springfield at Lee High when Yorktown (15-4) LACROSSE School upset the South County Stallions, 13-6, in a quarterfinal game of the 6A North Region Tournament. In previous seasons, Yorktown could see the other side of that glass ceiling, but couldn’t break through, as the Patriots fell short the handful of times they had the chance to reach the region semis. “It’s great to be moving on. But to be honest, I wasn’t expecting this type of win,” Yorktown coach Greg Beer said. “We played our best game this season.” South County (15-2) was considered one of the tournament’s big favorites, but was never in the game against the fast-starting Patriots, who built first-half leads of 3-0 and 6-1 and kept adding goals. Yorktown executed its possession game plan as planned. The Patriots dominated on both ends of the field, with the key being the play of senior midfielder Cason Liles winning 90 percent of the faceoffs. “That’s a very good team,” Beer said. “Holding them to just six goals. I didn’t see that coming.” The six goals was the fewest, by three, South County scored in a game this season. “Cason’s faceoff play was the difference, because that allowed us to limit their possessions and give us extra

possessions,” Beer said. “That was our game plan. We needed to keep the ball.” When Yorktown had the ball, the Patriots took their time, took efficient shots and converted them. Five players scored two goals each. Senior attack Nico Pollack had two of those goals. Senior midfielder Kyle Harwood added two goals, as did junior attack Alex Balser, junior attack Charlie Tiene and sophomore longstick defenseman Conor Sheer, who picked up two groundballs and sprinted half the length of the field, shot and scored. “Cason gave us the ball, then we took our time on offense, and we had the heart tonight to do this,” said Pollack, who will play in college at 2014 Division III NCAA men’s lacrosse champion Tufts University in

Boston. “We were able to possess.” Liles tried to downplay his role, giving the credit to his teammates. “We played tonight like we couldn’t play tomorrow,” Liles said. “We’ve never been to the semifinals before. This is the best.” Scoring a goal each for Yorktown were Liles and junior attacks Quinn Lyerly and Alec Turner. Yorktown sophomore goalie Mason Pollack made 10 saves. Two games earlier, in the Liberty Conference 6 Tournament championship game, Yorktown had an 8-4 third-quarter lead against the Langley Saxons, then lost by a goal. “That game taught us how to go for the throat tonight,” Nico Pollack said. “We learned from that.” Beer agreed. “I don’t think we could have won tonight if not for that Langley game. We got the lead in that game, then got away from what we were doing best. We didn’t do that tonight. We kept to our plan.” Against South County, Yorktown led 3-0 after one period and 7-2 at halftime. South County scored the first two goals of the third period, cutting the lead to 74. Yorktown answered with two straight goals, and was comfortably ahead the rest of the way. Yorktown is 2-0 in the region tournament. It defeated Oakton, 12-5, in the first round. Harwood and Nico Pollack each had three goals and an assist. Tiene had two goals and one assist. Lyerly, Matt Heffren, James Mountain and Gordan Coates had single goals. Mason Pollack made eight Next for Yorktown was a region semifinal game against the Robinson Rams (14-3) on June 4.

The Generals have amassed 63 goals this season. “All of our guys get their opportunities to score, but especially Maycol,” Carrasquillo said. “He just really wants to score. He’ll take on one and two guys with no problem. He’s strong. He has a good center of gravity, and he does well with the ball at his feet.” The W-L defense against Stonewall was led by Campbell, Maldonado, Noah

Washington-Lee’s Dominic Draghi was third in the shot and Patrick Odlum was third in the 1,600. For the Yorktown girls, Julia Carroll was third in the 300 hurdles.

White proved their worth as first-team all Capitol Conference 13 selections by scoring all six runs in the Wakefield Warriors’ 6-3 first-round tournament victory over the Jefferson Colonials. DeFranco reached base three times. She scored three runs and had one RBI. She singled in the first and second innings and stole home in the first. White reached base four times with hits in the first and fourth innings and scored three runs. Madee Periandri (three RBI) and Bekah Peterson (one RBI), who were selected second-team all-conference, came

through with big hits to score DeFranco and White throughout the game. On the mound, DeFranco racked up seven strikeouts to get the win. She allowed one earned run on five hits and did not walk a batter. Third baseman Lydia Dunbar started an inning-ending double play for Wakefield. The Warriors lost to eventual champion Marshall, 15-1, in the semifinals. Also, with the first-round win, Wakefield earned a berth to play in the 5A North Region Tournament. In that first-round region contest, Wakefield was blanked by Massaponax, 5-0. Wakefield had three hits. The went to White, Peterson and Jadah Clarke. Defranco did not walk a batter an allowed two earned runs. Dunbar and Periandri led the defense. NOTE: In Wakefield’s last regularseason game, Peterson pitched a shutout against Falls Church in the Warriors’ 10-0 win. The contest ended on a triple play, as shortstop White caught a line drive, stepped on second and threw to first to beat the runner diving back.

Goodkind, Moussa Dia and goalie Julian Esquer-Perez, who didn’t have to make many saves. In the first round, Washington-Lee defeated visiting Westfield, 3-1. Nunez, Aquice and Katz scored. “It was a pretty ugly game,” Carrasquillo said. “We were kind of lethargic in the first half. Once we settled down in the second half and knocked it around and found a bit more space we did well.” n In other region tournament action,

the Washington-Lee girls and both of the Yorktown teams lost in first-round games. The W-L girls (10-3) lost to the visiting Centreville Wildcats, 4-2. The Yorktown boys (11-4-1) and girls (13-4) were nipped by Centreville and Robinson, respectively, in overtime on penalty kicks.

As he kicked off his quest for a second term, U.S. Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) looked at home May 30, surrounded by area business leaders at the George Mason Enterprise Center in Leesburg. The former Virginia governor, who was a business executive and entrepreneur before he entered politics, talked about lessening the burden of the Affordable Care Act on businesses, encouraging crowd-sourced start-ups and drawing talented workers from around the globe. But the reason for the hour-long stop was to launch his re-election campaign, or

With his election, Vihstadt became the first non-Democrat to serve on the County Board since Republican Mike Laneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s brief stint in 1999, and became the first nonDemocrat elected to any local office in Arlington since David Fosterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s twin School

His visit was part of a 14-stop campaign kick-off tour that began in Arlington May 29 and took him to stops in Winchester, Harrisonburg, Charlottesville and Lynchburg the following day. Warnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments centered around what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s done in the past five-and-a-half years in the Senate and what legislation he is working on to bolster Americansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; success, including making reforms to immigration laws and curbing student loan debt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody deserves a fair shot,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t guarantee success, but we can give everyone a fair shot.â&#x20AC;?

those in the room of the need to work across party lines. A Warner for Senate campaign sign behind him read #workingtogether, illustrating his emphasis on the message. One man in the audience announced that the senator was named a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fiscal heroâ&#x20AC;? by nonpartisan Campaign to Fix the Debt for his leading role in assembling a bipartisan coalition to address the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deficit. Warner called himself â&#x20AC;&#x153;relentlessly bipartisan,â&#x20AC;? and joked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;That just means you take arrows from both sides.â&#x20AC;? The 59-year-old acknowledged that many Democrats do not want to talk about reforming entitlement programs and

Republicans donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to talk about tax reforms but the solution for bringing down the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $17 trillion in debt comes from addressing both issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know these are kind of taboo topics â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but if we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a way to find some common ground on these then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to leave our kids with a country thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not able to make investments,â&#x20AC;? Warner said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to go back to the stupidity of sequestration . . . weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to step up now.â&#x20AC;? Ed Gillespie, Tony DeTora, Shak Hill and Chuck Moss are vying for the Republican nomination, to be decided by the party faithful at a June 7 party convention in Roanoke.

Board victories in 1999 and 2003 before stepping down in 2007. Foster, a Republican, has been a prime Vihstadt backer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;John campaigned on asking questions at County Board meetings, not just nodding his head,â&#x20AC;? Foster said at the May 28 meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kept his promise â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Johnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s asking tough questions and demanding answers.â&#x20AC;? Democrat Howze picked up his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination in the special election after winning a three-way caucus. While initially seen by the party as having all the attributes needed in a winning candidate, Howze and Democrats fundamentally misjudged the grumpy mood of voters in April. He failed to publicly chal-

lenge the County Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spending priorities, and could not escape the view that, if elected, he would be an echo of existing policy. Because Democratsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; filing deadline for the general election occurred before the April 8 special election, no other contenders filed to take on Howze in the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s June primary, and he became the generalelection nominee by default. In the days since the special election, Howze has worked to redefine himself to voters. He has called for a referendum on the Columbia Pike streetcar project, which is seen by some as the poster child for government excess in Arlington. The April special election was needed to

find a successor to Chris Zimmerman, who resigned in February. The former Zimmerman seat, now held by Vihstadt, will be the lone County Board seat on the ballot in November. Were Vihstadt to hold the seat in November, Arlingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2015 political season could get very interesting. Two County Board seats will be up for grabs next year; they currently are held by Democrats Mary Hynes and Walter Tejada. A Howze loss this November, particularly if it is attributed (as his special-election loss was) to public anger with an insular county government, could lead Democrats to try and dump either or both incumbents in 2015 and come up with fresh faces to show voters.
