Upton Hill Plan Tweaked to Save More Trees Regional Park Authority to Re-Submit Revised Development Package to County Officials SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority has agreed to make several changes to its development plan at Upton

Hill Regional Park, aimed at assuaging those concerned about the removal of existing trees. Under a proposal forwarded to the Arlington County government, the park authority (also known as NOVA Parks) has

“come up with a plan modification that will save 49 trees,” said executive director Paul Gilbert, calling it “a win-win for both the natural resources and the active users of the park.” To do so, the park authority will elimi-

nate plans for a lower parking lot and vehicular access directly off Wilson Boulevard, which also had been areas of contention with neighborhood residents. Continued on Page 22

NAMESAKE SHIP AGAIN OUT ON DEPLOYMENT

The USS Arlington, a U.S. Navy ship designed to transport Marines to world hot-spots and on humanitarian missions, is again on the high seas as part of its second major deployment. The ship, commissioned in 2013, was named to honor the Arlington community and first-responders for their work at the Pentagon following the 9/11 terrorist attack. A group of community leaders recently visited the ship to expand efforts connecting it with the Arlington community – see story on Page 10. BRANDON PARKER/US NAVY

Civic Federation Debate a Taste of What’s to Come SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Sept. 4 Arlington County Civic Federation County Board debate gave the two contenders time to introduce their campaign t h e m e s, but it will be left to upcoming political forums for them to dive into specifics – and decide whether it will be worth it to take the gloves off and come out swinging. Independent incumbent John Vihstadt and Democratic challenger Matt de Ferranti largely kept it civil in their first mano-amano moment of the campaign season. “We must live our compassionate values,” said de Ferranti, who won the party’s nomination in a springtime caucus and hopes to reclaim the seat Democrats lost to Vihstadt in 2014. “Our prosperity is not inevitable, and our challenges are real,” de Ferranti told the large

crowd at Virginia Hospital Center (and others watching via an Arlington Independent Media livestream). “I’m committed to fiscal restraint, but we cannot cut our way to prosperity.” Vihstadt, who is the first nonDemocrat to serve on the County Board since Republican Mike Lane’s brief stint in 1999, said his four years in office have made overall county-government decision-making stronger. “Balance is better,” he said. “I need your vote to keep it there.” The debate format was heavy on opening and closing remarks and light on audience participation (about a dozen federation delegates were still queued up to query candidates when time was called). As a result, there wasn’t much time to get into the nittygritty of specific issues. Both candidates focused on economic competitiveness and reducing a stubbornly high office-vacancy rate. “We have to step up our game, and we’re doing that,” Vihstadt said of government efforts on the economic-development front. “We have to remember to nurture our small businesses.” De Ferranti pressed for re-

cruiting new types of emerging businesses, since “federal tenants are unlikely to come back.” Each candidate also supported efforts to re-imagine the Lee Highway corridor, the next main government redevelopment effort. Though it wasn’t brought up directly at the forum, de Ferranti seemed a tad irked by suggestions he was a relatively community newcomer compared to 30-year resident Vihstadt – “I’ve been here more than a nano-second,” de Ferranti said – while

Vihstadt, who is about to face the brunt of the Democratic getout-the-vote effort, perhaps not surprisingly said he believes local politics should be non-partisan. “I admit it: I have a Republican background,” Vihstadt said, but pointed to an “epiphany” in 2014 that led him to run as an independent. “I’m trying to bring people together,” Vihstadt said, saying he offered “checks and balances, a diversity of perspectives.” He also pointed to current and former Arlington Democratic elect-

(De Ferranti, who acknowledged he once voted for a Republican – albeit while living in Texas – said there was no personal animosity in this race. “John’s a good guy,” he said. But de Ferranti said voters needed to remember “there’s a link between local and national” when it comes to politics.) Lois Koontz, who moderated the Civic Federation debate, noted that the turnout was healthier than in some past years. “It is very gratifying to see the level of interest,” she said.

School Board Challenger Clement Presses Attack

Incumbent Kanninen Has Seen This Before: She Faced Off Against Independent in 2014, Too SCOTT McCAFFREY

argument. She promised the voters would “get more bang for the School Board’s buck” if they elected her. “Arlington spends 2.5 times the state average for new classroom capacity,” she said at the heavily attended forum. “The additional money that Arlington is spending . . . is not resulting in better performance. We don’t have better schools.” Clement said Kanninen and her School Board colleagues (Democrats all) have “deliberately misled” the community about student achievement, and rapped the incumbent on everything from her support for a Washington-Lee High School name change to what she described as unserious pandering on environmental issues. “It’s a disgrace,” Clement said in response to an audience question about the number of trees that come down during schoolconstruction projects. Kanninen, the odds-on favorite again this year, said the school system was a leader in environmental initiatives – “I’m a huge fan of trees,” she said – and

worked to counter Clement’s claims that the school system’s construction spending was excessive. “We do a lot of economical projects,” she said, pointing to a recent round of internal modifications at local high schools that created additional instructional space at a nominal cost. And, Kanninen said, Arlington schools serve the county as a whole and are built that way.

“She may be a longshot, but School Board contender Audrey Clement used the Arlington County Civic Federation’s candidate forum to hammer away at fiscal responsibility – and in so doing dominated a debate against Democratic-endorsed opposition.” That was the lead paragraph four Septembers ago, when Clement first squared off against Barbara Kanninen for School Board. And it’s the same scenario that played out at this year’s Arlington County Civic Federation debate, held Sept. 4. Kanninen, who won the 2014 election over Clement by a twoto-one margin, also stayed true to her own past performance: She was willing to accept her opponent’s verbal body blows during the debate, while pressing home her message that the school system is acting as responsible stewards with the public’s money. Clement, who has run multiple times for several local offices, was having none of that

Barbara Kanninen and Audrey Clement are vying for School Board in the Nov. 6 general election. It is a repeat of the 2014 campaign.

“Our schools are more than schools; we’re doing a lot of community amenities,” she said. The incumbent said she’d had to address a host of contentious issues during her four years on the board (including one as chairman), and did not shy away from them. “In a time of growth, tough decisions must be made,” she said. But Kanninen never once

mentioned perhaps the most controversial part of her tenure – efforts to rename Washington-Lee High School. Clement brought the matter up several times, promising to cancel any name change, but the incumbent avoided the issue. (The debate format featured time for just a small handful of audience questions, where it was not brought up.) In 2013, Kanninen unsuccessfully challenged then-School Board member James Lander in the Democratic caucus. A year later, she won a three-way party caucus and defeated Clement in the general election to succeed two-term Democrat Sally Baird. This year, Kanninen did not face intra-party competition. In Virginia, School Board seats officially are nonpartisan. Political parties can get around that prohibition by “endorsing” rather than formally nominating candidates, as Democrats did with Kanninen. The last non-Democrat to serve on the School Board was David Foster, who served from 2000-07.

serves as the committee’s sergeant-at-arms. Between them, Caiazzo and Weinstein represent “the greatest political force in Arlington,” said deputy party chairman Maggie Davis. And yes, there is an acronym for the new couple: They jokingly go by “Wei-azzo.” Democrats Hold Moment of Silence for McCain: The Arlington County Democratic Com-

mittee held a moment of silence in honor of U.S. Sen. John McCain to open its Sept. 5 meeting. McCain “was on the other side,” Democratic chairman Jill Caiazzo said, but “he was able to reach across party lines – he put country first.” “Be inspired by his service,” Caiazzo told the Democratic rank-and-file. “We are trying to make this country a better place, and I think he had the same goal.” McCain (R-Ariz.), the Republican Party’s nominee for president in 2008, died Aug. 25 after battling brain cancer. He was 81. Democrats Pick Up Cash at Chili Cookoff: The Arlington County Democratic Committee garnered $5,600 from its annual Labor Day Chili Cookoff, party officials said. The annual fund-raiser was headlined by U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.).

Democrats Unanimously Back Bond Referendums SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Arlington County Democratic Committee on Sept. 5 voted to support the four county bond referendums on the Nov. 6 ballot, but only after debating whether its proposed resolution of support offered enough specificity to help voters. The vote to support the bonds came as no surprise: Arlington Democrats have backed every local bond referendum since at least 1988. Party chairman Jill Caiazzo said support for the bond package would be included on the Democratic sample ballot handed to voters at the polls, and included in the party’s “Messenger” newspaper distributed to 60,000 households prior to Election Day. “We are indeed very supportive,” she said. “You can be sure where will be promoting them.” On the ballot will be bond referendums including $74.6 million for transportation, $30.3 million for parks and recreation, $36 million for community infrastructure and $103 million for county schools. Laura Saul Edwards, a Democratic

activist and co-chair of a local committee promoting the school bond, said the funding sought for education was vital at a time of rising enrollment. “We need the money of these bonds to build more seats and maintain the ones we have,” she said. During the Democratic meeting, a brief procedural battle broke out when Bob Platt, a former resolutions chairman for the party, attempted to have the package sent back to the Democratic steering committee for further wordsmithing. Platt said support for the bonds as written in the Democratic resolution was too generic. In past years, the party has provided more specificity, he said. Platt pressed for “a full-throated articulation” of the reasons behind support for the bond package. But Maggie Davis, the Democratic Committee’s deputy chairman, said the steering committee had “had a robust conversation” about the bonds and was comfortable with the wording as proposed. Platt’s proposal was defeated, then Democrats went on to support the bond packages with no noticeable dissent. The Arlington County Republican Committee on Sept. 12 is slated to discuss the bond package at its monthly meeting. The GOP’s executive committee is recommending that the rank-and-file adopt a measure supporting the schools, parks and infrastructure bonds and opposing

the transportation bond. Arlington voters have not turned down a county bond referendum since the late 1970s. Since the late 1980s, Arlington officials have sent bond packages to the electorate every two years. Beyer: Impeachment Would Need to Be Bipartisan Effort: U.S. Rep. Don Beyer is no fan of Donald Trump. But he’s against moving forward with impeachment of the president unless it becomes a true bipartisan effort. “I don’t believe impeachment should ever be partisan – it should be done together,” Beyer (D-8th) said at a campaign forum sponsored by the Arlington County Civic Federation. Partisan impeachment proceedings could lead to a subsequent tit-for-tat response the next time a Democrat occupied the White House, Beyer suggested. In the 1998-99 impeachment of President Bill Clinton, five Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives voted for at least one of the four charges brought against the president, but the episode is largely remembered as a partisan effort brokered by Republicans. No Democrats in the U.S. Senate voted to convict Clinton on the two charges that had been approved by the House of Representatives. Beyer may not end up leading an impeachment charge, but he left no doubt where he stands on Trump. “He’s a disaster,” Beyer said at the forum.

Beyer is facing Republican Thomas Oh in the Nov. 6 election. Oh did not directly mention Trump; “I always put people before politics,” he said when asked about the president. Oh Garners Endorsement of Advocacy PAC: Republican congressional candidate Thomas Oh has been endorsed by BlakPac, and organization that backs candidates – many of them minorities – who support the Constitution, Second Amendment and school choice and are pro-life. Oh is taking on U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) in the Nov. 6 election. “I am honored to be supported by BlakPac, which supports minority candidates and wants to make sure we elect qualified American patriots of diverse backgrounds to Congress,” Oh said. “It’s time to change Congress and bring more diversity into politics.” League of Women Voters Preps for National Voter Registration Day: The Arlington League of Women Voters will participate in National Voter Registration Day on Sept. 25, hosting a voter-registration event in the afternoon and evening at the Crystal City Farmers’ Market. “With midterms happening in a matter of weeks, every eligible American voter needs to plan to exercise his or her right to be heard at the ballot box this year and next,” Arlington League of Women Voters officials said.

Endorsement: Don Beyer in the 8th District When he first ran for Congress upon retirement of the venerable Jim Moran four years ago, Don Beyer seemed to some to be a perfect match for the 8th District: He was reliably progressive in his views, had real-world experience as a business owner, came with past experience as the commonwealth’s two-term lieutenant governor, had good political skills and offered the public an unblemished ethical record. The electorate responded: Beyer in 2014 easily won in the Democratic primary and will have no problem holding the seat in general elections as long as he wishes. And given that there’s somewhere between a possibility and probability that Democrats will win control of the U.S. House of Representatives in the fall, we’re guessing Beyer will be sticking around for the long haul. Although he tacks somewhat to the left on where we’d like politicians to be, that’s his prerogative, and voters in the reliably Democratic 8th District have judged his efforts positively. This year’s lone challenger to Beyer is Republican Thomas Oh, who holds the distinction of being the young-

est candidate running for Congress in 2018. Like Charles Hernick (the Republican nominee two years ago), Oh is new to the local political scene and has attempted to outflank Beyer from the left on a number of issues. Give the GOP candidates points for creativity, but – hobbled by Donald Trump at the top of the ticket – Hernick won just over a quarter of the vote in 2016, and Oh is likely to do about the same. He has not raised the cash to adequately tell his story and has seemed disinclined in to build bridges with local Republican organizations that could provide ground troops for a get-out-the-vote effort. As for Beyer? Victory could prove a double-edged sword: Should Democrats find themselves in control of the House of Representatives in 2019, he may find himself part of a majority that, despite his own seriousness of purpose, is aggressively leftist and out of step with real-life concerns of the public – which could make it a very short run as the majority, indeed. But that’s for the future to determine. As for Election Day, it’s an easy choice: We support U.S. REP. DON BEYER for re-election in the 8th District.

Get Some Trash Cans in Ballston Corridor Editor: Every morning, I walk in Ballston on Wilson Boulevard. I see the beautiful trees and flowers, and then I notice the trash on the sidewalk, and begin to pick it up because my mother told me that cleanliness is next to godliness. After one block, with both hands and arms full, I look for a county trash can, with no success for at least two blocks and sometimes further. Then I think of

the main streets in Northwest D.C. with at least four trash cans at each intersection, and know why there is so much trash on Wilson and North Fairfax Drive, where one is lucky to find a single county trash can in several blocks. It is time to recognize that there are a lot of people using the beautiful, wide streets in Ballston, as well as the renovation of almost all apartment buildings and the construction of many more 23-

story apartments in the Ballston area, which will not only create much more traffic but also find many more people using the many more restaurants and other service stores, which will create much more trash. I suggest that the county government do something, unless it wants the area to look like a big trash pile. Bill Sittig Arlington

Editor: I was very offended by letter-writer Anna Hebner’s labeling WashingtonLee High School a “white-supremacist institution” [Letters, Aug. 23]. For our graduation in 1952, my classmates Pat Conte, David Alexander and

I went to attend our prom at the Shoreham Hotel with three black dates. We were promptly turned away, and later reprimanded by officials. We also boycotted the traditional follow-up party at Beverly Beach because our Jewish classmates could not attend

Don’t Label W-L or Students White-Supremacists

Future Students Will Be Thankful for Name Change Editor: My son is part of Washington-Lee High School Class of 2022, and I fully support the decision to change the name. For the W-L alumni and generational Arlingtonians fighting to keep the name, with all due respect, this is not about you. This is about trying to ensure genuine inclusion of current and future students of color in our community. Washington-Lee is proudly inte-

grated and wonderfully diverse, a true source of pride in our community. In spite of that, our public school is still named for the Confederate leader. Some argue to recognize Robert E. Lee’s other merits. However, the reality is that “Lee” is as symbolic to racial oppression as the offensive Confederate flag. Others argue that this debate is foolish or balk at the one-time cost to change the name. Ones who feel this

way are privileged to be able to trivialize this, clearly not subject to how painful this representation can be for people of color. This movement is happening nationwide for a reason. It is time that Arlington proactively stands up for our neighbors’ pains. The school’s future graduates will thank us. Christine Purka Arlington

ton educator has moved forward in the Virginia teacher-of-the-year competition, and if he wins, it will make it two in a row for the county’s publicschool system. Timothy Cotman Jr., an English teacher and minority-achievement coordinator at Thomas Jefferson Middle School, has been named one of eight regional finalists in the Virginia Teacher of the Year competition. The award-winner will be announced Sept. 14 in Richmond, with the winner going on to participate in the National Teacher of the Year competition. Cotman, who has been with the county school system 23 years, in the spring was selected as Arlington’s teacher of the year, moving on to Region 4 competition – an area that includes 19 school districts in the inner and outer suburbs of Northern Virginia. Each of the eight finalists “goes the extra mile to prepare the students for success,” said Gov. Northam. “They are a tremendous example of the best of Virginia’s educational system.” The eight regional finalists are being interviewed by a panel of educators and the business community to select a statewide honoree. The announcement will be made at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. Should Cotman win, he will become the second Arlington teacher in a row to receive the statewide honor. Michelle Cottrell-Williams, a social-studies teacher at Wakefield High School, is the reigning Virginia Teacher of the Year. Two Virginia teachers of the year went on to win national teacher-of-year honors: Mary Bicouvaris in 1989 and Philip Bigler in 1998.

ARLINGTON STILL TOPS IN TOURISM SPENDING: Arlington retained its posi-

tion atop Virginia localities in domestic tourism and convention spending in 2017, according to new state data, and slightly extended its lead in front of neighboring Fairfax County. Tourism-related spending in the county totaled $3.26 billion last year, according to an analysis by the U.S. Travel Association commissioned by the Virginia Tourism Corp., an arm of the state government. Total domestic-tourism expenditures in Arlington grew 4.5 percent from 2016 to 2017, slightly higher than the 4.4-percent rate of state growth. At $3.16 billion, Fairfax County ranked second statewide. Its growth rate was 4.3 percent. Rounding out the top five jurisdictions were Loudoun County ($1.76 billion, up 4.6 percent), Virginia Beach ($1.56 bil-

lion, up 4.6 percent) and Henrico County ($916 million, up 4.1 percent). Statewide, domestic-tourism spending totaled $24.75 billion in 2017 and supported 232,000 jobs in the commonwealth, according to the data. Each of Virginia’s 133 counties and cities saw a year-overyear increase in travel expenditures. Since 2010, travel expenditures have increased at an annual rate of 3.9 percent statewide. According to the survey, the hotel-occupancy rate statewide for the year stood at 63.9 percent, with the average daily room rate of $109.66 up 2.9 percent. ‘AFAC’ LAUNCHES SPECIAL APPEAL:

The Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) has announced a special appeal to its donors, volunteers and the public to raise $50,000 to offset the funds lost when the Arlington government reduced its support for the organization in the upcoming fiscal year. In fiscal years 2017 and 2018, the county government provided $50,000 in addition to the base grant of $477,925 to address a spike in families needing food assistance. The additional funding was not included in the fiscal 2019 budget. “This cut will directly impact AFAC’s ability to help the least fortunate in the Arlington community,” officials with the non-profit said. “We are committed to the simple concept: If you are hungry in Arlington, we are here to help,” said Charles Meng, CEO of AFAC. “We try our best to keep our solicitations to a minimum, but the county’s action affects our ability to fulfill our mission. We need and are asking our donors, volunteers and friends to help.” For information on the initiative, see the Web site at www.afac.org.

Civic Federation to Offer ‘Open-Mike’ Opportunity SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

There will be no karaoke (although – just saying – it hasn’t been prohibited). But the Arlington County Civic Association will be trying out its own version of “open-mike night” during meetings throughout the year. Not unlike the public-comment periods that open County Board and School Board meetings, the federation is setting aside time where delegates from member organizations can spend up to 30 seconds each opining on any topic-du-jour. The effort is designed to keep a finger on the pulse of member organizations so the federation can better represent them, said Civic Federation vice president Nicole Merlene. “We’re trying to be productive in our comments, so we’re not just complainers,’ she said. The initiative’s debut came on Sept. 4 after conclusion of the Civic Federation’s candidate forum, and drew a number of speakers. Among them was longtime activist Pete Olivere, who said the Civic Federation needed to better publicize its programs and actions. “We are really missing the opportunity to tell people what we’re doing,” Olivere said, urging the federation to focus on “sharing with the community as a whole.” Michael Beer, who heads the Civic Federation’s schools committee, used his time at the microphone to say the federation needs to be better at “really listening to our civic associations,” while Dave Gel-

Forum Focuses on Integration of Local Sports A community forum looking at the history of desegregating Arlington school sports will be held on Thursday, Sept. 13 at 7 p.m. Marymount University’s Reinsch Library. The forum is sponsored by the Arlington Historical Society, Black Heritage Museum of Arlington and Marymount’s Department of History and Politics. It will look at the sometimes contentious efforts to integrate public-school sports after the desegregation of Arlington schools, which began in 1959. The panel will be moderated by Arlington native Reggie Harrison, a sports standout at Washington-Lee High School in the late 1960s who went on to play for the University of Cincinnati and for four seasons in the NFL with the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. For information, see the Web site at www.arlingtonhistoricalsociety.org.

man pressed for more meetings among civic-association presidents, “so they can go back and forth on what works and what doesn’t.” A delegate from the Nauck Civic Association said the federation had to do something about the organization’s “reprehensible” meeting-attendee demographics, while others praised the decision to move meetings from Tuesdays to Thursdays next year to avoid conflicts with PTA meetings. The open-mike forums are part of a broader effort by the Civic Federation that has included formal incorporation under Virginia law and creation of a “consent agenda” to deal with non-controversial items. At the Sept. 4 meeting, which kicked off the Civic Federation’s year, president Duke Banks saluted member-organization “all-stars” who had sent representatives to all meetings during the 2017-18 year. “This [was] actually a very good year” in terms of participation, Banks said. But there’s always room for improvement. “We’d like to see all of our organizations at 100-percent [attendance] this year,” said Sarah Shortall, the Civic Federation’s treasurer.

Arlington Government, Community Leaders Work to Build Stronger Connections with Namesake Ship Five years after commissioning of a U.S. Navy ship honoring Arlington, its first-responders and residents, efforts are being made to reinvigorate the ties between the county and its namesake. Representatives of the county’s USS Arlington Community Alliance and the chairman of the County’s Military and Veterans Affairs Committee traveled to Norfolk in August at the invitation of the ship’s commanding officer, U.S. Navy Capt. Todd Marzano, to discuss ways to create new partnerships. The Arlington contingent included Kevin Reardon, Jim Pebley and former County Treasurer Frank O’Leary from the USS Arlington Community Alliance and Joe Simonelli, who chairs the County Manager’s Military and Veterans Affairs Committee. During the visit, the Arlington community representatives and Marzano were joined by teleconference with Arlington Deputy County Manager James Schwartz to hear how the ship’s

crew is faring, recent accomplishments and future plans as well as opportunities to interact through regular communications, via visits to the ship by Arlingtonians and visits to Arlington by the crew. Marzano described the ship’s recent activities, including a May visit to “Fleet Week” in New York City that drew nearly 30,000 visitors to the vessel. Commissioned in 2013, the USS Arlington is a 685-footlong amphibious landing dock, designed to transport U.S. Marines to world hot-spots. It is the third ship in U.S. Navy history to bear the name “Arlington.” After a luncheon with the captain, Community Alliance chairman Jim Pebley (a retired U.S. Navy aviator) spoke to the crew and described the efforts of the Arlington community in 2012-13 to help support the ship’s commissioning and raising nearly a half-million dollars to build a tribute room on board that describes the events in Arlington during the 9/11 terrorist attack and the response by Arlington

lic-transit usage across Northern Virginia was up slightly in the second quarter of 2018 from a year before, as Metrorail rebounded and bus services lost passengers. A total of 35.33 million rides were taken on regional transit in April, May and June, up 1 percent from 35.03 million the same period a year before, according to figures reported by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. Metrorail ridership was up 4 percent to 24.5 million passengers compared to the same period in 2017, when “SafeTrack” repairs caused shutdowns and sent many riders scurrying for buses or other modes of transportation. Virginia Railway Express posted a slight increase, up 1 percent to 1.2 million riders for the three-month period. Bus service that had been boosted by the SafeTrack disruption of Metrorail in 2017 came back to more normal levels in the second quarter of 2018, with Metrobus ridership for the quarter dropping 9 percent to 4.4 million. Among local bus systems, Fairfax Connector ridership was down 2 percent to 2.17 million riders, with Arlington Transit seeing a decline of 15 percent to 746,000 riders. Bus services in Loudoun and Prince William counties and the city of Fairfax also saw modest declines, while Alexandria’s DASH network posted a 2percent increase.

WEEKEND CLOSURE SET FOR MEMORIAL BRIDGE: Federal officials will close

all six lanes and both sidewalks of Memorial Bridge from Friday, Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. to Monday, Sept. 17 at 5 a.m. The closure, which is dependent on weather conditions, will prepare the bridge for renovation work. Another fullweekend closure is expected to take place in November, all leading up to a 2.5-year renovation project for the bridge, which was constructed in 1932. Full information on the project can be found at go.nps.gov/memorialbridge. PILOT PROGRAM TO OFFER PEDALASSIST BICYCLES: The Fairfax County

government on Sept. 5 launched a pilot project that adds black e-bikes to the bright red-colored Capital Bikeshare fleet in Reston and Tysons. The e-bikes, known as Capital Bikeshare Plus, are battery-operated, pedalassist bicycles that provide users with a small boost, making pedaling uphill or longer distances effortless. There will be approximately 80 e-bikes deployed across the National Capital Region as part of the pilot, which is scheduled to run through November. “We hope that e-bikes will open the door for more Fairfax County residents and visitors to enjoy the many benefits of getting around by bicycle,” said Fairfax County bicycle-program manager Nicole Wynands.

Performer to Showcase Lives of Hemingway’s Wives BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Longtime performer, professional tour guide and former stand-up comedian Elaine Flynn has carved out a niche portraying historical women. Her latest hour-long solo show, “Hemingway’s Wives,” lets her play four who shaped the life of one of America’s greatest writers. “The women knew that they’d all come along for the ride,” she said. “They came second to his work and realized that going in. I don’t think he had a ‘type.’ I just think he liked women.” Flynn, an Alexandria resident, will perform the show at the Shepherd’s Center of Oakton-Vienna’s Lunch N’ Life session on Sept. 17 from noon to 2 p.m. at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, 2589 Chain Bridge Road in Vienna. Flynn prefers to write her own material instead of performing other’s scripts, and started work on “Hemingway’s Wives” about a year ago. To help her audience keep all those wives straight, Flynn gives audience members a handout with the women’s pho-

tos and other information. Ernest Hemingway in 1921 married his first wife, Hadley Richardson, who was eight years older. They divorced in 1927 after she learned about the writer’s affair with Pauline Pfeiffer, whom he married several months later. Hemingway in 1937 began an affair with renowned war correspondent Martha Gellhorn. He and Pfeiffer divorced in November 1940 and the writer married Gellhorn just three weeks later. Flynn said she especially was impressed by Gellhorn, who once crossed the English Channel in a freighter packed with dynamite. Hemingway and Gellhorn divorced in 1945 and he married his fourth and final wife, Marie Welsh, in March 1946. They were together until Hemingway shot himself to death in Ketchum, Idaho, on July 2, 1961. Flynn holds an internationalrelations degree from American University – “I was going to change the world, but oh well” – and spent 20 years as a tour guide, working in Washington, D.C., and at historic sites such as Woodlawn Plantation in Mount Vernon and the Carlyle House in Alexandria.

Elaine Flynn will portray the four wives of Ernest Hemingway during a performance sponsored by the Shepherd’s Center of Oakton-Vienna. The event is slated for Sept. 17 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Vienna.

She became interested in former first ladies and about 15 years ago began giving talks as historical figures. Flynn first portrayed Dorothy Parker, a critic and Algonquin Round Table member, then branched out to others, such as writer and socialite Alice Roosevelt Longworth. Her next project will be portraying women in the life of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Flynn typically gives one to three performances per day and is considering the possibility of allowing other actors to buy and perform her scripts around the country. Gay Stikeleather, who has

been Flynn’s friend since 1976, describes her as intelligent, fun, thoughtful and interested in historical detail. Stikeleather often has served as a sounding board or “guinea pig” for Flynn’s shows. “Sometimes she has me read it and sometimes she talks it to me, like she were doing it, and I give her feedback,” Stikeleather said. “Hemingway’s Wives” flows well and has copious historical details, she said. “She makes you laugh, you’re completely entertained and you end up being interested in something you’d never really thought about,” Stikeleather said.

INDECENT EXPOSURE: n On Sept. 5 at 12:20 p.m., a woman was walking in the area of Washington Boulevard at Kirkwood Road when she observed a man exposing himself and masturbating, police said. The suspect is described as a white male. n On Sept. 8 at 1:46 a.m., a man entered a business in the 2700 block of Wilson Boulevard at closing time and was denied service, police said. According to police, the individual then entered a bathroom, left the door ajar and was observed masturbating. After being asked repeatedly to leave the business, the suspect fled on foot prior to police arrival. The suspect is described as a white male, 5’11”, with athletic build, defined jawline and round cheekbones.

PEEPING: n On Sept. 8 at 2:29 a.m., a woman in a home in the 2300 block of 11th Street North observed a male suspect outside the window, looking in. The suspect fled before police arrival. The suspect is described as a white male, 25 to 40 years old, 5’5” to 5’10”. GRAND LARCENY: n On Sept. 7 at 3:32 a.m., employees of a business in the 1100 block of South George Mason Drive observed a large pickup truck back through the storefront,

Robin Burke, who works at the Ashleigh at Lansdowne retirement center in Leesburg, heard about Flynn’s performances from another seniorliving community. She booked Flynn at the Ashleigh and the performer since has done several different shows. Burke especially liked Flynn’s Dorothy Parker show. “She came in costume and brought costumes for our residents as well,” Burke said. “She had flapper hats and boas, so they were not only observers of the show, but participants. Very interactive.” Flynn will perform the Hemingway-wives show at the facility Oct. 18, and Burke expects to be impressed again. “I think she’s very thorough in her knowledge of the subject, so if any questions come up, she’s able to quickly answer them,” Burke said. ••• Tickets to Flynn’s Sept. 17 show at Emmanuel Lutheran Church cost $15 and must be bought by Sept. 14.

then three or four suspects exit the vehicle and steal an ATM machine, place it in the truck and flee. The suspects are being described as being dressed in all black and wearing black masks. The vehicle is described as a white truck. UNLAWFUL ENTRY: n On Sept. 8 at 11:50 p.m., police responded to a report of an unknown male inside a residence in the 700 block of 22nd Street South. According to police, the occupant of the home returned to the property to find the suspect asleep and items tampered with. Nothing was reported missing. The suspect – 24-year-old Matthew Agvent of Arlington – was arrested and charged with unlawful entry. BURGLARY: n On Sept. 9 at 5:24 p.m., a man was in his home in the 1400 block of North Rhodes Street when he heard someone attempting to gain access. The resident made contact with the suspect and escorted him off the property. The suspect is described as a darkskinned male, in his 30s, 5’6” to 5’8”, wearing a black skullcap. n Sometime between July 17 and Aug. 30, a home in the 2400 block of South Walter Reed Drive was burglarized. Items of value were taken. – Staff Reports

Arlington Host Lions President Has Plans for Solid Year

It was the camaraderie she felt on her very first visit that connected CeeCee Evans to the Arlington Host Lions Club. “The members were all very warm, loving and welcoming – it really warmed my heart. I wanted to be here,” she said at a recent club meeting at Washington Golf & Country Club. From a rookie to the top of the pyramid: Evans recently began a term as club president, presiding over one of Arlington’s most venerable service organizations that is part of a worldwide network of 1.7 million adult and youth members. “We have a great year planned,” Evans said, promising club members “some good, robust speakers” and a focus on five issues close to the hearts of Lions members across 200 countries: vision, hunger, childhood cancer, the environment and diabetes. “I really believe in serving and giving back to the community,” said Evans, who now leads the oldest (founded in 1936) of several Lions clubs in Arlington and sur-

rounding communities. They are among 46,000 local clubs – both for adults and the school-based Leo clubs – internationally. With a motto of “We Serve,” Lions clubs have carved out their own niche among service organizations. But as with many service clubs both locally and nationally, membership ranks have thinned due to changing demographics and the declining ranks of the World War II generation, for whom membership in a service club was almost a rite of citizenship. Mike Stevens, who has held a number of leadership posts in the organization, said the club remains active in a number of arenas, from sight-and-hearing testing to support for the Arlington Police, Fire and Sheriff 9/11 Memorial 5K, now in its 17th year. Lions clubs can trace their roots back just over a century, when Chicago executive Melvin Jones encouraged those in his local business circle to reach beyond corporate issues and serve their local com-

The highest median-sales price for any August over the past decade helped boost the metro D.C. area’s total real-estate sales volume to nearly $2.8 billion in August, an increase of 4.1 percent from a year before, according to new figures. Total home sales, however, declined

slightly to 5,064 for the month, according to figures reported Sept. 11 by MarketStats by Showing Time, based on listing activity from Bright MLS. The decline in sales was concentrated in the single-family sector, which saw a dip of 6.9 percent to 2,279. Townhome

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week

Boutique Building Stands Tall

2BR+Den Condo Offers Proximity to Clarendon’s Amenities

This week’s featured property offers the opportunity to own a two-bedroomplus-den, 2.5-bath condominium unit in a boutique location in Lyon Village, one that combines proximity to all the amenities of Arlington’s urban core with a delightful, almost bucolic setting. Just eight homes are found in what’s been described as a hidden gem, a property that puts you a block from the Lyon Village Shopping Center and is around the corner from Lyon Village Park. Plus, there’s easy access to Spout Run and to I-66, and you’re just a half-mile from the Clarendon Metro station. All this, and you have the benefit of an underground reserved parking space, bike storage and bonus security touches (a secure lobby and an elevator that opens directly into each unit). The property currently is on the market, listed at $799,000 by Susan Joy of Long & Foster Real Estate. Set angled on its site, the property displays a refined elegance. All the units were first sold during original construction and only two have changed hands since, so when a unit comes on the market, it’s wise not to wait. Nearly 1,500 square feet await our exploration of this property, making it versatile and perfect for a smaller-sized household. Hardwood flooring is found in public spaces, with carpeting in the

bedrooms. We’ll start our tour in the expansive living room, which offers vistas of the bucolic exterior and access to a 19-footwide balcony overlooking the domains. The dining room offers enough space to entertain in, while the kitchen area packs plenty of a punch in the space it occupies, with top-quality appliances throughout. The master bedroom offers refined luxury, a large bath and walk-in closet, and the second bedroom features the same amenities in a slightly smaller (but still nice) configuration. The den area is tucked away for privacy, and has access to its own deck. Pets are permitted, making this a

perfect spot for those eager to live an easy lifestyle in urban-village splendor. Articles are prepared by the Sun Gazette’s real estate advertising department on behalf of clients. For information on the home, contact the listing agent. For information on having a house reviewed, contact the Sun Gazette’s real estate advertising department at (571) 333-6272.

Survey Says: A Dollar Buys Less Space Every inch counts, and in the Washington area (like the rest of the country), they don’t come as cheaply as they used to. One dollar will buy 0.28 square inches in a typical home across the Washington area this year, according to a new survey by Zillow. That’s down from 0.41 square inches per dollar in 2008 and an expansive 1.33 square inches per dollar in 1998. “A dollar today isn’t what it used to be, particularly when it comes to real estate, in light of the rapid pace of home-value appreciation that the American economy has witnessed over the past half-decade,” said Zillow senior economist Aaron Terrazas. With home values rising – the median is now almost $220,000 nationally – the same situation is unfolding across the land. One dollar will buy you 1.07 square inches of the typical U.S. home, but 10 years ago, one dollar bought you 1.23 square inches. Back in 1998, one dollar bought you 2.09 square inches. (For reference, one square inch is about twice the size of a postage stamp, and a dollar bill itself is a little more than 13.25 square inches.) In the city of San Jose, Calif., where the typical home is worth almost 84 percent more than it was two decades ago, one dollar will buy you just 0.2 square inches of a home. In 2008 it bought you 0.37 square inches, and back in 1998, one dollar bought you almost one full square inch. A dollar goes the furthest in Memphis, Tenn., buying more than 2.5 square inches of a home. Expect to get the smallest amount of space for your dollar in San Francisco, where one dollar will buy you just 0.14 square inches. Fresno falls almost exactly in the middle of Memphis and San Francisco for the space you can get for one dollar, where it will buy you 0.97 square inches of a home. “Figuring out exactly how much space a dollar does – or doesn’t – buy you can be sobering, but enlightening,” Terrazas said. “The space we live in is a tangible thing, with real value, and this shows how true that is.” To check out the analysis on Zillow Research and compare multiple markets, see the Web site at www.zillow. com/research/how-much-home-does1-buy-21175/.

One Final Curtain Call for Youth-Theater Director BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Babs Dyer has two qualities not found in great abundance: She likes teenagers and can get them to work together by treating them with respect, which they return in kind. “It’s an accomplishment, considering I’m 4 foot 9 and not very imposing,” she said, adding she fixes people with “The Look” to maintain order. Dyer has directed Vienna Youth Players’ summer productions since 1993, and stepped down this summer after helming her 26th and final show, “Beauty and the Beast.” The show was challenging from a costume perspective, including characters playing clocks, candlesticks, feather dusters and a wardrobe. Other area theater companies have pitched in by lending costumes from their performances, she said. Vienna Youth Players for the first time will use voice-modulation technology to alter how some of the performers sound. Among this year’s cast and crew are 15-year-old rising James Madison High School sophomores Denali Greer and Ben Eggleston. Greer, who is co-stage managing the show, said Dyer abounds in theatrical knowledge and runs a tight ship. “I can tell she really has a hold over everyone,” Greer said. “She has a lot of

authority, but she’s a fun person.” Eggleston, who plays a wolf in the show, serves among the ensemble players and is fight coordinator to boot, said Dyer had taught him to play the accordion. “She’s a person of many talents,” he said. Dyer is a Vienna native who attended Our Lady of Good Counsel School, Thoreau Middle School and Madison High School, and was attracted to the theater in high school. “It was a sense of community and it was just a lot of fun,” she said. “It was a place where you could escape your reality and be someone else for a few hours.” Dyer earned a bachelor’s degree in music from Virginia Commonwealth University, then raised two children. She and her husband, Tom, also informally adopted a 12-year-old girl and made her part of their family. Dyer began doing theatrical work in Vienna in the late 1980s with the late Norman Chaudet, directing music for three shows. When Chaudet died in 1993, the local theater company asked if Dyer could direct an already-announced summer children’s show, “Eat Like a Child.” She did, and Vienna Youth Players was born. Dyer’s favorite shows include “Aida” (she loves Elton John) and “Runways.” “What I liked about that piece is the kids became involved in raising funds

C O M M U N I T Y

for Runaway House,” she said. “We had counselors come from Runaway House and talk about runaways in our affluent area and the need for support for children in distress.” Plays have become edgier – for better and worse – since she started in the business, Dyer said. “We’ve gone from ‘Oklahoma’ to ‘Hamilton,’” she said. “We’re now rap-

ping in the theater.” Vienna officials have not turned down any plays Dyer has wanted her youth players to perform, but she has her own standards. “I have a very firm belief that it doesn’t have to be tawdry to be theater,” she said. Summer youth plays offer participants more than the chance to perform or help produce the show. Dyer teaches the cast and crew, usually 40 to 44 in all, responsibility by having them list all potential conflicts that summer. “They learn to follow their commitment,” she said. “They make friends from all over and they get out of the niche of their high-school drama department, where there may be cliques. When you come here, it’s all new water, because we have kids from Madison, Oakton, Marshall, Westfield, every elementary school, every junior high.” When not directing plays, Dyer teaches voice lessons and helps college students prepare for music-theater auditions. She also has worked for the Fairfax Academy for the Communications and the Arts at Fairfax High School. Dyer said she will continue to teach private lessons, but she and her husband are pondering what they want to do next and where. “The adventure is yet to come,” she said. “We’re getting our freedom bit by bit.”

Park

Continued from Page 1 The plan worked out with the Arlington government “is to make the street parking along Wilson Boulevard timelimited during the day,” Gilbert said in a letter to the chairman of the county government’s Urban Forestry Division. On-street parking likely will be limited to 3-hour stints. “Having these spaces turn over during the day will allow park users to find street parking to access the lower area of the park,” Gilbert wrote The proposal should ease concerns of the Urban Forestry Commission, which

had been unhappy with the proposed number of mature trees that would be taken down. “Given that Upton Hill Regional Park is an environmental gem in urbanizing Arlington, it warrants the extra effort,” said Norma Palmatier, chairman of the commission, in an Aug. 29 letter to County Board Chairman Katie Cristol. Gilbert told the Sun Gazette that the NOVA Parks would now return to county staff and re-submit permit applications for the project. He is not anticipating any major snags. “We’re thrilled we’re going to be moving forward,” he said. The project does not need to go to the Arlington County Board for approval, but board chairman Cristol said she was “encouraged by these developments.” “We would credit both NOVA Parks and our staff for crafting a solution,” Cristol said. A variety of park improvements have been in the planning stage for years. The plan calls for installation of a high-qual-

ity climbing tower (potentially with ropes course), plus reforestation of natural areas. NOVA Parks officials plan to fund the entire effort using bonds backed by the anticipated revenue from the climbing tower. The proposed removal of mature trees to make way for parking drew the ire of some nearby residents and the newly formed Arlington Tree Action Group (ATAG). The adjoining Boulevard Manor Civic Association was generally supportive of the overall project. In his letter to Palmatier, Gilbert said the revised plan would allow NOVA Parks to save 35 living and 14 dead trees that previously would have been removed. Which leads to a perhaps obvious question: Why would dead trees be worth saving? They do offer a “small level of ecological value,” Gilbert told the Sun Gazette. Their retention was sought by ATAG. The revamped park plan also calls for incorporating an area of currently mowed grass into an oak-history forest, and re-

moving invasive plants from all forested area. Straddling the Arlington/Fairfax border, Upton Hill Regional Park has passive areas but is better known for its large swimming complex, miniature-golf course and batting cages that draw crowds from spring to autumn. Gilbert told the Sun Gazette that the changes being presented to the county government will not substantively impact the project’s timeline. Work will begin later this year, although it is likely the climbing tower will not be constructed until the winter of 2019-20. Over the summer, Christopher Tighe, president of the Boulevard Manor Civic Association, acknowledged that the new amenities would bring more people and traffic, but was philosophical about it. “There’s going to be trade-offs,” he said then, but praised the overall direction of the expansion and the partnership with NOVA Parks and neighbors. “This is a phenomenal plan,” Tighe said during the summer.

in various stages of construction. The Wilson site “seems to be coming along very nicely,” Superintendent Patrick Murphy told School Board members on Sept. 6, and having a roof in place on the Fleet building will allow work to accelerate in the final year of construction, he said. The Arlington Career Center over the summer benefited from an internal expansion, and Murphy reported that 4.5

million square feet of school facilities had received cleaning during the summer break. Excessive heat during the first week of school caused school officials to sweat it out, wondering whether all schools’ HVAC systems would be up to the task. The biggest concern was at Tuckahoe Elementary, where a new air-conditioning system was on order but had not yet arrived.

Patriots, Generals Start Fast

Teeing Off

An Odd Beginning to the High-School Grid Season Maybe the oddest thing after the first couple of weeks of the local high-school football season has been the extremely hot, humid and stormy weather that has affected games.

Teams Each Have Won Three Games

Dave Facinoli

A Staff Report

The Yorktown Patriots are off to a 3-2 start in girls high-school field hockey, including a 2-1 win over the McLean Highlanders and a 5-0 victory over the Wakefield Warriors.

Generals Fall in Double Overtime to Spartans DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Three late-game passing plays, none of FOOTBALL which went in the Washington-Lee Generals’ favor, may have cost the football team a victory on Sept. 8. The Generals (0-2) lost in double overtime, 28-21, to the visiting and undefeated West Springfield Spartans (3-0) at War Memorial Stadium in a light rain in the afternoon high-school contest. One long pass was caught for a West Springfield touchdown to tie the game at 14 with three minutes left sending the contest into overtime. The catch, and whether

the West Springfield receiver had possession, was questioned by Washington-Lee coaches. On its previous possession, W-L dropped a scoring pass and had another broken up. “If any of those plays go our way, we are either up 21-7 late and probably win the game no matter what,” WashingtonLee coach Josh Shapiro said. Despite the loss, Shapiro said his team played much better than in its opening loss a week earlier to Wakefield. “We looked like a real team in all phases today. We played 100 times better than in our first game,” Shapiro said. “I think we did a much better job of understand-

ing our roles. Washington-Lee quarterback Ryan Dodds led the Generals’ offense, running for 61 yards on 18 carries and completing 12 of 18 passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. “Ryan did a lot and moved the team,” Shapiro said. His scoring passes went to Will Montgomery (four catches for 21 yards) and Liam McBride. Davion Owens had four receptions for 37 yards and Trent Colbert three for 27. Minh Giang was Washington-Lee’s leading rusher with 86 yards on 19 carries.

Yorktown suffered recent losses to Herndon, 2-0, and Langley, 4-0, in Liberty District games, giving the Patriots a 1-2 league mark. In five games so far, Yorktown has scored a total of 13 goals. Senior forward and captain Maggie Shipley leads the team in scoring with five goals and four assists. Sophomore forward Katelyn Stafford has four goals. The defense is led by senior goalie Audrey Engel with two shutouts. n The Washington-Lee Generals also are 3-2 with three wins in a row. One of those victories was over South Lakes, 3-1, in Liberty District action. Alexis Parks scored two goals for the Generals and Madeline Obertone had the other. Assists went to Dakota Klapper and Rebecca Stewart.

Some storms have interrupted and ended contests, or suspended them until the next day. That happened with a handful of games beginning Aug. 31 and finishing the next morning. On the field, there have been some different types of highlights worth noting – individually and team-wise. The Marshall Statesmen, McLean Highlanders and Yorktown Patriots all took 7-0 leads in games they eventually lost after giving up big points. Yorktown was ahead of the Wilson Tigers, 7-0, at halftime, allowed the next 22 points and lost, 37-29. After scoring first, Marshall yielded 29 second-quarter points to the Madison Warhawks in a 42-14 setback. McLean scored on a long run on the game’s second offensive play against Marshall, then lost 31-7. In contrast, the Potomac School Panthers trailed 7-0 and rallied to defeat Norfolk Academy, 20-14. Individually, Bishop O’Connell High School’s Jahmal Banks scored touchdowns three different ways in his team’s loss to Trinity Episcopal. He scored on a 91-yard kickoff return, a 75-yard interception run back and a 22-yard TD pass. Potomac School wide receiver Preston Bacon turned three short flankerscreen catches into 113 yards worth of receptions and one touchdown. He set up another score against Norfolk Academy with a 36-yard punt return. Wakefield High quarterback Cason Poythress threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns – one pass covering 87 yards – to help his team top Washington-Lee in its season opener. Yorktown’s Grant Wilson was 11 of 14 passing and Will Porter 10 of 14 against Wilson, as the team uses a two-quarterback system. There will be more to come.

A Familiar Result as Yorktown Again Routs Wakefield DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

The result was the same this year as in so many past meetings, as the Yorktown won comFOOTBALL Patriots fortably again over the visiting Wakefield Warriors in an annual high-school football showdown between Arlington rivals. Yorktown blanked Wakefield, 48-0, Sept. 8 giving each team a 1-1 record. The Patriots dominated from the start, leading 21-0 after the first quarter and 35-0 at halftime. “We really stressed played strong defense this week in practice, and that’s what we did tonight in the game,” Yorktown

coach Bruce Hanson said. “We were able to take away their flanker screen, which was big for them in their first game. We weren’t happy with our defense in our first game.” Wakefield was held to 146 total yards, only five first downs and as many pass completions for 67 yards. In contrast, Yorktown amassed 323 total yards, with no turnovers, and was led by quarterback Grant Wilson with 88 yards rushing, including 76 and 4-yard scoring runs, and he was 8 of 8 passing for 111 yards and two touchdowns. Yorktown’s Will Porter, who alternates with Wilson, was 4 of 7 passing for 41 yards and threw a TD pass. “We have two quarterbacks who can

throw, and we have a lot of weapons with guys who can run and catch the ball,” Hanson said. “We don’t have that ‘one guy’ but we have a lot of guys.” Max Patterson caught three passes for 40 yards; Liam Anderson caught three for 43, including a touchdown of 19 yards from Wilson; Jake McCool caught two for 26, including a 14-yarder for a TD from Wilson; Will Cantwell had a 36-yard scoring pass; and Nick Warnement had one for 13 from Wilson. Evan Rotker had two catches. Other than Wilson, Jakore Harmon was Yorktown’s leading rusher with 42 yards. Pous Atubire had 25. Patterson returned the second-half kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown and Jo-

nah Garuif booked six extra points. “We came out strong right away playing with enthusiasm, which I liked,” Hanson said. On defense for Yorktown, John Pius had a couple of tackles for losses and no gains, Sawyer Monticello had a tackle for a loss and Patterson one for no gain. Rodney Lee was Wakefield’s top offensive player with 62 yards rushing. Quarterback Cason Poythress threw for 67 yards and Lukai Hatcher had two catches for 51 yards and Isaiah Mefford two for 10. Yorktown won despite 105 yards in penalties. Wakefield was flagged for 80. NOTE: The last year Wakefield defeated Yorktown was in 1995, before players for either team were born.

High-School Roundup CROSS COUNTRY: Led by runners who

run in the first overtime to give the Generals a 21-14 lead after a third extra point by Pedro Palacios. The game was tied at 21 after the first overtime, then West Springfield scored first in the second extra period to lead 28-21. Washington-Lee then fumbled

on fourth down with a chance to tie on its next possession. That play ended the game. On defense for W-L, Giang had a sack that caused a fumble on the play. Washington-Lee plays on the road Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. against the high-scoring

Mount Vernon Majors, another undefeated team at 3-0. Mount Vernon averages 50 points per game. “They are playing well. We’ll see if we can put something together and slow them down,” Shapiro said about Mount Vernon.

Former High-School Players in Arlington on NFL Rosters A Staff Report

M.J. Stewart and Kamrin Moore, who each played high-school football in Arlington, FOOTBALL began the 2018 professional season on NFL teams this past weekend as rookie defensive backs. Stewart, a two-way starter and kick returner when he attended Yorktown High School where he made all-district, all-region and all-state teams, is a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He plays on defense and special teams. Stewart played in the team’s wild season-opening 4840 victory over the New Orleans Saints and quarterback Drew Brees on Sept. 9. Stewart, wearing number 36, made four tackles against the Saints on defense. The 5-foot-11, 200-pound Stewart was drafted by Tampa Bay on the second round this past April. He was

M.J. Stewart

Kamrin Moore

the 53rd player chosen during the selection process. Stewart was the first Yorktown football player chosen in the NFL draft, as well as the program’s first to play professional football. After graduating from Yorktown in 2014, the 23-yearold Stewart became a standout defensive back for four seasons at the University of North Carolina, where he

also returned kicks. He became one of North Carolina’s all-time leaders in pass breakups. The 5-11, 200-pound Moore, a standout two-way player on offense and defense at Bishop O’Connell High School, where he also graduated in 2014, is a member of the New York Giants. Moore became a Giant when he was claimed off waivers by New York earlier this month. In June, Moore was chosen by the New Orleans Saints from Boston College on the sixth round, the 189th player selected. Moore played cornerback at Boston College, where he was chosen all-conference, then was switched to the safety position by the Saints. He wears uniform number 29. Moore is expected to be a special teams player and a backup in the secondary for the Giants, or be assigned to the team’s practice squad. Stewart and Moore never played against each other in high school.

Sports Briefs RAIN, STORMS CANCEL TOURNAMENT: The opening ceremonies for the

annual First Responders Cup girls softball tournament the morning of Sept 8 at Barcroft Park were postponed because of weather issues. Longtime Bishop O’Connell High School girls softball coach Tommy Orndorff, who retired after the 2018 spring season, was supposed to be honored at the ceremony for his years of service to the sport. His O’Connell teams won more than 700 games and many conference and state championships. In addition, after each team played one game, the rest of the tournament was cancelled on Sept. 7 and 8 because of rain and wet fields. There were 24 teams in the tournament in different age divisions. POTOMAC VALLEY TRACK CLUB NEWS: The Potomac Valley Track Club

Claude Moore Colonial Group Hoping for ‘Hail Mary’ BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Members of the Friends of Claude Moore Colonial Farm have only four months before they must vacate the 77acre site in McLean, but they’re hoping Congress can step in with a solution. The friends group is pinning its hopes on a bill submitted by U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-10th) and co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.), which would allow the farm to operate as an independent entity. “We believe it has a good chance for

success,” said Elliott Curzon, the friends group’s director, during an Aug. 9 presentation to the Greater McLean Chamber of Commerce. The House Committee on Natural Resources sent the measure to the Subcommittee on Federal Lands on March 22, but no further action has been taken. Comstock told the Sun Gazette her office had participated in negotiations for months between the National Park Service and the friends group. Comstock said she introduced the House Resolution 5201 in an attempt to keep the farm independent and operating. “I remain committed to finding a soMore - FREE!

lution, be it legislative or administrative, and have communicated to both the executive branch and relevant committees of jurisdiction in Congress the importance of maintaining this historical treasure in our community,” she said. “At this time I am working on revised legislation in consultation with the friends [group] that improves upon the previous version and is more likely to achieve passage.” Alexcy Romero, superintendent of the National Park Service’s George Washington Memorial Parkway, which includes the Claude Moore site, had been scheduled to speak at the chamber meeting, but did not attend. The friends group’s 1981 agreement with the National Park Service expired in 2011 and was extended since. Curzon, an attorney, drafted a potential new agreement last December, but park agency officials sought more control over the farm’s operations and gave the group a take-itor-leave-it proposition, Curzon contends. National Park Service officials announced in March that unless the friends group signed the new memorandum of understanding, the agency would end its relationship with the group Dec. 21. Park Service officials refused to give the friends group the long-term agreement it sought, instead offering a 10-year pact that Curzon said was “woefully inadequate” for long-range capital planning. If the friends group accepted the Park

Service’s agreement, it would put the farm into a “death spiral,” Curzon said. “The farm would become another zombie park facility, covered in tumbleweeds with an occasional visitor,” he said. Matters between the Park Service and friends group have not become friendlier in recent months. In an Aug. 7 letter to Anna Eberly, the friends group’s executive director, Romero clarified that the organization must remove any temporary and movable improvements or personal property, including livestock, that were furnished by the group. The site’s buildings and other structures permanently affixed to the land belongs to the government and cannot be removed by the friends group, he added. By Oct. 1, the Park Service and its contractors will perform an environmental site assessment at the farm to identify any existing or potential environmental contamination from the property’s land and physical improvements, Romero wrote. The Park Service remains committed to working with the friends group to “conclude the parties’ relationship in a safe and orderly manner,” he wrote. “We value the memories that people have made at the farm, and remain committed to a public and fully transparent process as we work with the community and the farm’s many dedicated volunteers to determine its future,” added Aaron LaRocca, Romero’s chief of staff.
