New Disclosure Rules Prompt Exodus at Economic Development Authority BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

The Fairfax County Economic Development Authority is coping with a turnover of more than half its board commissioners after a recent spate of resignations prompted by tougher economic-disclosure rules.

Chairman Steve Davis, vice chairman Michael Lewis and commissioners Bud Morrissette and Mark Lowham in midJune “elected to step down for personal reasons,” said Gerald Gordon, the EDA’s president and CEO. In addition, commissioner Sudhakar Shenoy asked not to be reappointed after 14 years’ service, an action unrelated

to the other members’ resignations, said Gordon, who declined to comment further.

In their resignation letters, Lewis and Lowham cited the new financial-disclosure rules as the central reason for their departures.

A new “long form” disclosure document, which took effect Jan. 1, requires

people serving on county-government boards and commissions to provide information concerning personal liabilities, investments, speaking honoraria, gifts received, salaries and wages, business interests and real estate holdings of the board members and their immediate families.

The Board of Supervisors on June 21 appointed three new EDA board members: James Quigley of Canvas in Reston, Roderick Mitchell of Pentagon Federal Credit Union and Christian Deschauer of Transurban.

Two incumbent board members will continue their service. Secretary Ronald Johnson, whom county supervisors appointed to the EDA in November 2001, is chairman and CEO of Ronson Network Services Corp. Assistant secretary Catherine Lange, an EDA member since November 2009, is founder, president and CEO of BusinessWorks of America.

Supervisors still must appoint two more board members to bring the sevenmember body up to its full complement.

The board meets monthly at EDA headquarters in Tysons and next will convene July 19.

Supervisors on July 26 are expected to appoint McLean resident Esther Lee, chief client officer at Edelman Berland, to the EDA board.

Supervisors on June 21 lamented the loss of so many long-serving EDA board members. Davis had served with the organization for 15 years, Lewis for nearly 12, Lowham for six and one-half and Morrissette for six.

MCA Board Votes to Oppose McLean Senior-Living Facility BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Concerned about traffic congestion, building mass and impacts on surrounding neighborhoods, McLean Citizens Association (MCA) board members on July 6 unanimously recommended the Board of Supervisors deny a proposal by Sunrise Development Inc.to build a senior-living facility at Kirby Road and Westmoreland Street in McLean.

The proposed 40,309-square-foot Sunrise Senior Living facility would have a maximum of 73 rooms and 90 beds.

About 60 percent of the units would be for assisted living and the rest dedicated to residents needing memory care.

Sunrise officials met seven times with MCA’s Planning and Zoning committee and offered many concessions in hopes of making the project more palatable.

Sunrise has proposed building sidewalks on Kirby Road and Westmoreland Street, extending Westmoreland Street’s southbound right-turn lane onto Kirby Road, constructing a publicly accessible trail behind the building that would link up with sidewalks along the two streets and granting an 80-foot-wide tree-conservation area at the site’s rear to screen the facility from five adjacent homes in the Crosswoods subdivision.

Make Money by Replacing Your

Company officials also narrowed the building’s shape from a wider “U” to a narrower “V” to permit greater vegetative screening.

MCA members said the building’s rear façade would be three stories and 42 feet tall, because of sloping terrain at the site and added Sunrise’s proposed vegetative buffer would mitigate only partly the facility’s visual impact.

“Given the prominence of the subject property due to its shape, topography and the geometry of the Kirby/Westmoreland intersection, and given the height and the mass of the proposed building, the building would be out of character with the neighborhood,” MCA’s resolution read.

The facility would generate about 250 vehicle trips per day (versus roughly 100 for the 11 houses that could be built byright on the site) and Sunrise officials have committed to arranging employee shifts so as to avoid peak drop-off and pickup times at nearby Longfellow Middle School. About 90 full- and part-time employees would work at the facility, but no more than 25 at any one time.

Sunrise would provide 55 parking spaces at the site, but there would be no on-street parking. As required by the Virginia Department of Transportation, the

People MCP’s ‘Footloose’ Finds Fun in Youthful Rebellion BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Upbeat, relentlessly optimistic 1980s nostalgia looks quaint, innocent and downright appealing, given the grim national news headlines of the past few weeks.

McLean Community ON Players’ production of STAGE “Footloose” goes back to the good old days when imaginary strictures against dancing, and the youthful rebellion that would rise to meet them, were the stuff of popular drama.

Adapted for the stage by Dean Pitchford and Walter Bobbie, the musical is based on Pitchford’s screenplay for the smash 1984 movie starring Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer and John Lithgow.

Most Americans know the plot well: Ren (Morgan DeHart), a Chicago boy from a broken family, is transplanted into the podunk fictional Midwestern town of Bomont, where he suffers the traditional trials of being a new kid at school.

Meanwhile, seemingly prim classmate Ariel (Nikkie Culbreth) secretly wears Daisy Duke shorts under her dresses and furtively enjoys dancing. She has to kick up her heels in secret because her preacher

father (Jay Tilley) had the Town Council ban dancing five years earlier after four high-school students, including his son, died in a car crash when returning from a dance.

Bullied by boyfriend Chuck (Jonathan Cagle-Mulberg), Ariel comes to admire Ren’s rebelliousness and larger-world experiences. Ren organizes fellow students in an effort to have the dancing ban repealed, but first he must overcome the formidable preacher.

DeHart and Culbreth handle their lead roles well, combining vulnerability, decency and spunk.

They receive a solid boost from the supporting players, including sassy classmate Rusty (Sara Talebian) and hayseed Willard (Jon Simmons).

Tilley has a commanding presence as the preacher and is suitably intimidating.

Two lesser-sung, but valuable, supporting contributors are Ren’s mother Ethel (Kristen Wilson Magee) and Ariel’s mom Vi (Julie Hamilton Edwards). The former is raising a son on her own and offers him worldly advice; the latter has kept herself in the background to maintain family peace and now must summon the will to assert herself.

The music from “Footloose” is its key attraction and audience members tapped

their feet along to the title song as well as “Holding Out for a Hero,” “Somebody’s Eyes,” “Heaven Help Me” and “Let’s Hear It for the Boy.” Music director Lori Roddy and the orchestra deliver these essential elements with panache.

Director and choreographer Shaun Patrick Moe keeps the whole swirling mass of performers moving in sync. He and his assistant choreographer, Kristen Wilson Magee, receive especially highquality work from dancers Clare Baker, Kim Braswell, Gabrielle Gardner and Megan Khaziran.

Set designer Bill Brown provides thin black outlines of tall church windows for the preacher’s sermons and a high platform with railing from which Ren and Ariel can scream out their angst while being drowned out by passing trains. Seems like good therapy; will have to try it sometime.

The musical is suited for ages 13 and older because of profanity and brief bouts of violence.

McLean Community Players gives a spirited rendition of this iconic 1980s drama, which continues to please audiences with its hit songs, comedic touches and notes of reconciliation.

New Vienna Rotary Club President Named Rotarian of Year The Rotary Club of Vienna inducted new president A.J. Oskuie into office July 1 during a festive evening celebrated by more than 80 people at JR’s Stockyards Inn in Tysons.

Oskuie was surprised to learn he also had been voted the club’s Rotarian of the Year. The award was chosen by former winners through a secret ballot. No one, including the presiding club president, was informed of the results until the night of the installation dinner.

Oskuie has belonged to the club since 2007 and has made a significant impact by assuming major responsibilities with the ViVa! Vienna! committee and other activities. He has been a strong supporter of the club by rising above the normal level of membership participation.

Oskuie volunteers at the Children’s Holiday Party and can be found in December on the frozen sidewalk of the Vienna Giant, ringing the bell for the Salvation Army with his children, Alexandra and Davis. He also led the club’s Casino Night to unprecedented success.

The club meets on Wednesdays from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. at Westwood Country Club. Local residents curious about membership should e-mail Sheila at ssobzyk@ comcast.net (with “Lunch R.S.V.P” in the subject line) to attend a meeting.

At right: The Rotary Club of Vienna’s Rotarian of the Year, A.J. Oskuie, receives recognition June 29 at the club’s installation dinner.

Region Falls Short in Effort to Land Non-Stop Havana Flights If a preliminary decision by the U.S. Department of Transportation stands, the Washington region will have found itself bypassed in its efforts to land nonstop air service to Cuba.

DOT officials on July 7 released a list of 10 U.S. airports that have been selected to offer service to Havana, starting as early as the fall.

Eight different airlines – Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit and United – received authority to serve Havana. And while United won permission to serve the Cuban capital from two of its requested four airports (Newark-Liberty and Houston-Intercontinental), its bids for service from Washington Dulles International and Chicago-O’Hare were turned down.

“We are disappointed,” said Kate (Roche) Bates, president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, which was among business groups from the Washington region to lobby on behalf of Dulles.

“United’s Washington Dulles-Havana service would naturally provide an important link between capital cities, fostering official travel between the U.S. and Cuban governments and increasing the role of intergovernmental organizations with Cuba,” Roche said.

But the Washington region’s bid was hampered by the relatively low number of Cuban-Americans living here.

By contrast, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa, which have some of the largest concentrations of CubanAmericans in the nation, all received service. So, too, did Los Angeles, Charlotte, New York (Kennedy) and Atlanta.

United had been seeking one flight per week between Washington Dulles and Havana, to have operated on Saturdays. If the preliminary awards are upheld, United’s service from Newark will operate daily (with additional service on Saturday), with its flights from Houston running Saturdays only.

In a statement, United’s president and CEO said he was pleased with the allocation.

“These flights open the door to a new world of travel and opportunities for our customers,” said Oscar Munoz.

United was the only carrier to request service from a Washington airport to Havana. No carriers sought flights between Washington and Cuba’s secondary cities; those routes were awarded in early June.

Despite frosty diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba in

Our View: Response to Police Report Worrisome

Perhaps we’ve just become jaded after years of empty promises of holding to account the leadership of the Fairfax County Police Department.

It is through those somewhat skewed lenses that we listened to members of the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors take a big-picture look at the more than 200 recommendations that came out of the Ad-Hoc Police Practices Review Commission, formed last year after Fairfax officials were (rightly) pilloried for their reaction to the shooting of unarmed Kingstowne resident John Geer in 2013.

Some of the recommendations can be implemented immediately, others are more aspirational, and some no doubt are unworkable. But we were struck, during the June 21 Board of Supervisors meeting, that Fairfax County Police Chief Edwin Roessler Jr. seemed to fall back, on several occasions, on the issue of cost.

He worried, for instance, about the price tag of equipping all patrol officers with tasers, which can be an effective, non-

lethal alternative to guns. He also voiced concern about the cost of body cameras.

Memo to Roessler: Let the Board of Supervisors worry about coming up with the cash. Wringing your hands over financial issues sends a signal that you’re less than gung-ho over implementing reforms. The image problem of the county police is not improved by such behavior.

Individual members of the Board of Supervisors, too, came off poorly at the June 21 meeting. Several – not all, but some – seemed to be attempting to settle old political scores and compete in games of “gotcha” rather than taking the issue of improvements to policing with the seriousness it deserves.

Fairfax County aspires to be a leader in local governance, and in some ways, it is. The systemic concerns about policing, which appear as much a top-down problem as bottom-up, are a blot that is holding the county’s aspirations back.

We’re hopeful that the bad optics of the June 21 meeting do not reflect a lack of purpose in forging real change.

The Fairfax County History Commission recently presented its annual report to the Board of Supervisors, and in so doing, acknowledged that it had fallen short in an area it wants to improve upon.

The commission for years has sponsored an oral-history program, in which those with stories to tell can share them for posterity. Because of some internal issues, the effort has trailed off of late, county supervisors were told, but plans are being made for a renewed push.

And that’s a good thing: There are thousands of people across Fairfax who have stories worth sharing, even though they may not think of themselves as anything extra-special.

Compiling, cataloguing and archiving these stories, and making them available to researchers and the general public, is a cornerstone of preserving the past and providing a real connection between different generations.

Kudos to members of the commission for acknowledging they had dropped the ball, and promising to grow the effort.

Oral Histories Worthwhile Way to Capture the Past

Rep. Comstock AWOL on Sensible Gun Efforts

Editor: I am sick and tired of our nation’s gun policies being dictated by the National Rifle Association. How many more people must die violently and needlessly before Congress does it job and figures out how to better regulate access to guns, especially ones that are designed to kill as many people as possible in the shortest period of time?

Since the latest mass-shooting tragedy in Orlando, the House Republican leadership has refused to allow a vote on some very simple, common-sense

gun measures.

One measure would try to prevent known or suspected terrorists from being able to purchase a weapon. The second measure would close a loophole to extend requirements to conduct background checks to ALL firearm sales, closing a large loophole that allows individuals to avoid background checks by purchasing weapons at a gun show or over the Internet.

Frankly, selling guns over the Internet should probably be banned altogether, but this measure merely says

that individuals wishing to purchase a gun over the Internet be subject to the same background checks as if he or she was purchasing a gun at a gun store.

Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.) staged a sitin on the House floor because it was a given that the House Republican leadership would NEVER allow commonsense gun measures to even be voted on by the House of Representatives.

Where was Rep. Barbara Comstock?

Mary Ella Payne McLean

Editor: In the 102-year-history of the McLean Citizens Association, few issues have driven neighborhood anger like the proposed location of the 90bed Sunrise Assisted Living facility at the corner of Kirby and Westmoreland roads in McLean.

After studying the proposal for almost two years, MCA voted to oppose the multiple zoning adjustments that Sunrise needs to build on this lot.

The vote by MCA’s board of directors was unanimous.

With few exceptions, families in the area strongly oppose this development.

A three-story, 42-foot-high building is totally out of character with a neighborhood of single-family homes, many dating from the 1950s.

Protecting McLean’s neighborhoods remains the focus of the McLean Citizens Association. Proposals like Sunrise are sure to come again. Unless we want

McLean to mirror Tysons, Alexandria or Arlington, our community of homes must constantly stand firm to protect the iconic residential nature of McLean.

Park Service Sets Upgraded Monuments, Transportation BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

The National Park Service in coming years will conduct a slew of upgrades to the George Washington Memorial Parkway and its affiliated sites, said Alexcy Romero, the parkway’s superintendent for the past three years.

Speaking to the McLean Citizens Association’s board of directors July 6, Romero said the National Park Service plans to: • Rehabilitate crumbling Memorial Bridge. The project will cost about $250 million and so far $90 million in federal FastLane funds have been committed for the effort.

Built in 1935, the bridge is not just a river span, but also a post-Civil War monument that connects the South (as symbolized by Robert E. Lee’s Arlington House) and North (the Lincoln Memorial.

“We have to treat this no different from the Washington Monument,” Romero said.

• Conduct a host of improvements at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) in Arlington. The park service will clean and wax the memorial’s statue, redo the roadway and parade ground and improve visitors’ experiences, Romero said.

• Rehabilitate Arlington House, which occupies a hill above Arlington National Cemetery. The $12.5 million project, which will begin this winter and require the site to be closed for a year, will improve the mansion and its rose and vegetable gardens, he said.

• Implement $25 million worth of repairs to restore Dyke Marsh, which has been losing 1 to 2 acres per year to erosion. That project should begin next year, Romero said.

• Reconstruct the parkway’s northern section between Spout Run in Arlington and its northern terminus at Interstate 495. The park service already has milled and repaved sections of the parkway’s southern section, which was the original roadway and formerly designated the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway. The northern part, built in the 1960s, has degraded to the point where milling and asphalt overlay only would repair the road for about one year, he said.

Road construction along the northern stretch will be done in phases to avoid creating gridlock on the heavily used parkway, Romero said.

National Park Service officials are preparing for an uptick in traffic along the parkway after tolling begins on Interstate 66 inside the Beltway.

The parkway area, which includes 15 sites in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, is the sixth-most-visited national park, Romero said.

“We are much more than a transportation corridor,” he said.

MCA Affirms Opposition to Expanded Elementary School BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

The passage of 13 months has not changed the McLean Citizens Association (MCA) board’s view that a proposed expansion of Mount Daniel School would be too large for the surrounding neighborhood and worsen existing traffic woes.

“They’re repurposing this school,” said Mark Zetts, chairman of MCA’s Planning and Zoning Committee. “It is a lot of intensity for this site.”

Falls Church City Public Schools operates the primary school, located on 7.3 acres at 2328 North Oak St. in southern McLean, just shy of the Falls Church border. The school was built in 1952 and expanded by four classrooms in 2005.

The one-story school has 15 classrooms, plus three more in a pair of trailers on the site, and has about 348 kindergarten and first-grade students served by 67 employees.

School officials would like to increase the number of classrooms to 30, eliminate the trailers, boost enrollment to 660 students and bring the employee count to 84.

Mount Daniel previously catered to pre-kindergarten students, but that changed a year ago when the school system opened a new preschool center, said

Toni Jones, Falls Church’s school superintendent. School officials would like to relocate second-graders from Thomas Jefferson Elementary School to an expanded Mount Daniel School.

The expansion would involve construction of a 41-foot-tall addition and an 82-percent increase in floor area to 79,491 feet. A modified parking arrangement would provide 105 spaces and no longer encroach on the site’s conservation easement.

The school’s existing 30,000-gallon stormwater-detention facility would be replaced with one 15 times more capacious, Jones said.

As they did last June, MCA board members passed a resolution July 6 calling on the Fairfax County Planning Commission to reject the school system’s “2232” application, which determines whether a proposed development conforms with the county’s comprehensive plan.

The sole access road to the school, North Oak Street, is only 26 feet wide and barely has enough room for vehicles to pass between parked cars, MCA members said. The proposed addition “would exacerbate these traffic and parking impacts,” the group’s resolution read, and attempts to restrict parking along the street would Continued on Page 15

Low Inventory Taking Toll on Pending Sales After steadily increasing for three straight months, pending home sales let up in May and declined year-overyear for the first time in almost two years, according to the National Association of Realtors.

All four major regions experienced a cutback in contract activity last month, largely due to a lack of available inventory for prospective buyers.

The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, slid 3.7 percent to 110.8 in May from a downwardly revised 115.0 in April, and is now slightly lower (0.2 percent) than May 2015 (111.0).

With last month’s decline, the index reading is still the third highest in the past year, but declined year-over-year for the first time since August 2014.

Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, says pending sales slumped in May across most of the country.

“With demand holding firm this spring and homes selling even faster than a year ago, the notable increase in closings in recent months took a dent out of what was available for sale in May and ultimately dragged down contract activity,” he said.

“Realtors are acknowledging with increasing frequency lately that buyers continue to be frustrated by the tense competition and lack of affordable homes for sale in their market,” Yun said.

Despite mortgage rates hovering around three-year lows for most of the year, Yun says scant supply and swiftly rising home prices – which surpassed their all-time high last month – are creating an availability and affordability crunch that’s preventing what should be a more robust pace of sales.

“Total housing inventory at the end of each month has remarkably decreased year-over-year now for an entire year,” adds Yun. The PHSI in the Northeast dropped 5.3 percent to 93.0 in May, and is now unchanged from a year ago. In the Midwest the index slipped 4.2 percent to 108.0 in May, and is now 1.8 percent below May 2015.

Pending home sales in the South declined 3.1 percent to an index of 126.6 in May, but are still 0.6 percent higher than last May. The index in the West decreased 3.4 percent in May to 102.6, and is now 0.1 percent below a year ago.

some folks who have been with the EDA for a long time and have really, really contributed greatly to Fairfax County,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova (D). “But unfortunately, the new disclosure requirements, including twicea-year reporting, [are] difficult for some of the individuals who have been serving

harm nearby home values.

Falls Church school leaders, at the request of Fairfax County planning officials, commissioned a traffic study by Wells & Associates, the same firm the county uses, Jones said. The student found traffic on North Oak Street would be manageable even if Mount Daniel received its originally sought-after enrollment of 792 students, she said.

Unlike a special-exception application, a 2232 review does not allow the county to impose additional development conditions, MCA’s resolution read. Fairfax County officials asked the Falls Church school system to apply for a special exception, but school leaders instead filed another 2232 application, MCA members said.

on the EDA and also for people who are considering serving.”

County officials should inform potential EDA board members about the reporting requirements so they can check with their employers about potential difficulties, Bulova said.

Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee), chairman of the board’s Legislative Committee, said county officials should produce a list of the issues that led to the EDA board members’ departures.

“I think we need to be in a position While Falls Church officials said the school is a public use and not subject to the special-exception process, MCA members countered the facility does not qualify as a public use in Fairfax County because it is not owned or controlled by the county, state or federal governments.

In addition, the proposed enrollment limit of 660 students might not be an enforceable covenant, MCA leaders said at the meeting.

According to Virginia Department of Education guidelines, elementary schools should be located on at least 4 acres, plus another acre for every 100 students.

Mount Daniel’s proposed enrollment would necessitate a 10-acre site, while the current one has fewer than 5 usable acres because about one-third of the site is a conservation easement, they said.

“The extent of the Mount Daniel expansion remains excessive and incompatible with the neighborhood,” MCA’s resolution read.

of sharing the real-world consequences of what actions in Richmond are” on the county and its residents, McKay said.

But Supervisor Patrick Herrity (RSpringfield) said county policies also played a part in the resignations.

“Before we go defaming Richmond, this was our decision to require the long form instead of the short form,” he said.

“So this is something that is within our power to go back and look at.”

Supervisor Penelope Gross (D-Mason) said supervisors need to keep the EDA

commissioners’ exodus in mind when reviewing the county’s legislative package.

“We may want to use this as an example of very adept people in our community who cannot serve because of the intrusive nature of the reporting requirements and [its effects on] their employment,” Gross said. “We want people to volunteer and serve. We do not wish to cause a problem for their employment.”

To view the county’s disclosure form, visit www.fairfaxcounty.gov/bosclerk/includes/bacs/pdf/vfoia_package_a.pdf.

A photo from Falls Church Public Schools shows the location of Mount Daniel Elementary.

While opposing the expansion, MCA Education and Youth Committee chairman Louise Epstein said Falls Church has a tough school-enrollment plight.

“People are moving there. They have this burgeoning student population,” Epstein said.

MCA board member Sally Horn said the city’s solution is problematic.

“They decided to solve the problem by

increasing density on property in Fairfax County,” Horn said.

The Planning Commission is scheduled to take up Mount Daniel’s 2232 review July 21. If commissioners vote against the proposal, Falls Church officials could appeal to the Board of Supervisors or begin the application process anew, Jones said.

“It would be a decision point for the School Board,” she said.

Being near those neighborhood pools that host one of those outdoor events during the 8 a.m. until noon period is the evidence.

Within earshot of the pools, a constant noise of cheering is heard.

Visually, the first thing noticed is how many vehicles in pool parking lots or lining neighborhood streets are decorated in various ways, must commonly with colorful graffiti written on the windows and maybe a few streamers attached to bumpers.

Homemade signs, often written on large white bed sheets, hang on the pool’s exterior fences.

Once on the pool deck, one of the first things noticed is how many swimmers are colored in face and body paint, wearing weird-looking hats or outfits, which often includes the coaching staffs. There are also many additional homemade signs.

The next thing that’s obvious is how quickly the races progress, the organization and efficiency in which meets run, and the overall enthusiastic atmosphere and energy. Again, the cheering is nonstop, beginning during warmups before the first individual race, continuing through the last relay race, then until the final team scores are announced.

Another thing notable is how fast and effective the cleanup transition occurs, from the minute a meet is completed to getting things moved around and the pool rearranged for members to arrive and enjoy hours of leisure.

Summer swim events are basically a happy and fun time. Some meets and teams are more serious and competitive than others, but at the end of it all, the experience is enjoyable for those involved.

For those who have never attended such a meet, an encounter could be entertaining. But, it might be worthwhile to bring along earplugs.

Havana Continued from Page 5

the six decades since Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba during the Eisenhower administration, Virginia in recent years has built up a solid trading relationship with the Caribbean island-nation. Gov. McAuliffe earlier this year led a trade delegation to Cuba.

Under an agreement signed between the U.S. and Cuban governments in

February, each country gave the other the right to operate up to 20 flights per day between Havana and the United States.

U.S. airlines unhappy with the proposed allocation have until July 22 to file objections.

Even though scheduled air service between the two countries has been largely unavailable for a half-century, charter flights have operated with regularity in recent years. They will be permitted to continue.

While flight options will expand,

facility’s sole ingress/egress point would be on Kirby Road. MCA members noted that driveway is directly across the road from the entrance to L’Ambiance of McLean subdivision.

Sunrise’s parcel, now home to the Surge Community Church, is about onequarter smaller than the county’s minimum 5-acre requirement for medical-care facilities, MCA board members said.

Sunrise officials noted the county has approved 10 similar facilities with sites below that threshold, but MCA members countered the company’s building would be the only one of that group to be surrounded completely by residential neighborhoods.

6/21/16 7:46 1 said MCA board “This is PM too Page intense,”

Cuba still will remain off-limits to Americans who don’t have specific reasons to be there; merely wanting to visit as a tourist is not good enough. Categories that are permitted range from family visits and public performances to humanitarian efforts and “support for the Cuban people.”

Michael Forehand, vice president of government relations and counsel for the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce, said chamber leaders hope federal officials eventually will add Washington to the roster of regions

with flights to Cuba’s capital.

“Approving capital-to-capital service from the Washington, D.C., metro area to Havana would be another tool to help grow existing businesses and attract new companies to our region,” he said. “We are disappointed in the decision by the U.S. Department of Transportation to not grant service from Washington Dulles International Airport to Havana at this time, but we remain hopeful that the application will ultimately be approved and Northern Virginia businesses will gain access to this new market.”

member Rob Jackson. “The rules are there to protect us.”

Officials from nearby senior facilities Vincent Hall Retirement Community and Chesterbrook Residences Inc. testified May 11 before the Health Care Advisory Board that their facilities might be negatively affected if Sunrise’s proposed assisted-living units came on the market.

But Health Care Advisory Board members agreed Sunrise had demonstrated the need for such a facility in McLean and recommended the Board of Supervisors approve the project, MCA’s resolution read.

Fairfax County Planning Commission will take up Sunrise’s proposal July 28 and the commission subsequently will forward its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.

MCA usually holds its monthly board meetings in a large room on the ground level of the McLean Community Center,

but because that room was unavailable, conducted the July 6 meeting upstairs in the McLean Project for the Arts’ Emerson Gallery.

More than a dozen residents, some of them wearing “Say NO to Sunrise” stickers, attended the meeting, but MCA president Jeff Barnett declined to let them voice their opinions.

“In 15 years [on the MCA board], I’ve never seen so much opposition on any case,” said Mark Zetts, chairman of the association’s Planning and Zoning Committee. “The community wants [the site] redeveloped as residential.”

Local history Items taken from the archives of the Northern Virginia Sun. July 18, 1941: n A local commonwealth’s attorney plans to prosecute anyone attempting to sell hard liquor at National Airport, reopening the question of whether the airport is located on land belonging to Virginia or the District of Columbia. n Local residents are being asked to turn in scrap aluminum for recycling.

July 14, 1964: n Barry Goldwater is getting closer to the magic number of delegates needed to win the Republican presidential nomination over rival William Scranton. n Arlington has enough hospital beds to meet current needs, but Fairfax and Alexandria are facing shortages, a new survey finds. n Farms throughout the local area must now comply with new rules limiting pesticides that wind up in milk.

July 13-14, 1979: n Having found no obvious contenders inside the school system’s ranks, Fairfax School Board members have started advertising for a successor to Superintendent S. John Davis. Meanwhile, the Fairfax Education Association is angry that it isn’t represented on the selection panel. n The state government is studying whether to eliminate the sales tax on food. n Virginia gas-station operators are threatening to close down their pumps “for weeks” to protest federal rules limiting their profit margins. n The Roman Catholic Diocese of Arlington has inaugurated established new parishes in Great Falls (St. Catherine of Siena) and Reston (St. John Neumann). n The Virginia State Police have started a chaplaincy program.

July 14, 1987: n Virginia Democrats say a poll they commissioned shows former Gov. Charles Robb with a 67-percent approval rating, followed by 59 percent for Gov. Baliles, 55 percent for President Reagan and 49 percent for U.S. Sen. Paul Trible (R-Va.). n As it has on a number of occasions before, the Eternal Flame at the grave of President Kennedy went out for about five minutes during a recent rainstorm. It was re-started by Arlington National Cemetery officials.

Fairfax County Notes ‘SOBERRIDE’ SERVES 103 OVER HOLIDAY: The Washington Regional Alcohol

Program’s “SoberRide” initiative provided free cab rides home to 103 potential drunk drivers over the Independence Day holiday.

The total was below the average of 245 rides home during past July 4th holidays, due largely to the inclement weather that kept many people at home.

Despite the lower total, “SoberRide, on average, still removed a would-be drunk driver from greater Washington’s roadways every four minutes,” said Kurt Gregory Erickson, president of the Washington Regional Alcohol Program.

Since 1993, the initiative has provided more than 65,000 free cab rides home during holiday periods. For information on the initiative, see the Web site at www. soberride.com.

LITERACY COUNCIL SALUTES PARTICIPANTS, VOLUNTEERS: The Literacy

Council of Northern Virginia hosted its 54th annual recognition event at James Lee Community Center in Falls Church on June 21, saluting both the organization’s adult learners and the volunteers who support them.

The annual event is akin “to a graduation ceremony,” said council president Patricia Donnelly. She saluted the 700 active

volunteers, who “do an enormous amount of direct-service work with the adults and within the organization as a whole.”

Donnelly also praised the perseverance of students.

“Many adults make sacrifices to get through English class or be tutored . . . it is their successes and their achievements that we celebrate,” she said.

The literacy council honored Liem Dang, Gema Baron Ramos, Shu Chu Ho and Gloria Castellanos for their awardwinning essays on the theme “When I Learn English, My Community Grows.”

Shu Chu Ho said picking up English-language skills was a challenge, but worthwhile.

“When I came to America, I could not speak English. I only smiled at people when they talked, and I had to ask my daughter to translate,” she said. “Now, I can talk to anybody I want to. I can make friends wherever I go.”

The keynote speaker at the event was Del. Mark Keam (D-Vienna), who discussed his own journey as an immigrant and the struggles he faced in learning a new language and a new culture.

The Literacy Council of Northern Virginia works with adults who read below the fifth-grade level.

NEW BOOK FOCUSES ON W&OD HISTORY: Arcadia Publishing and the His-

tory Press on July 18 will publish “The Washington & Old Dominion Railroad Revisited” as part of its “Images of Rail” series.

The book is the second related to the railroad from the publishers; the first looked at its corporate history, construction and operation.

The second work expands coverage with a geographic focus on four locations – Rosslyn, Great Falls, Leesburg and Purcellville – and looks at conversion of the railroad right-of-way into the W&OD Regional Park.

The tome is authored by Paul McCray, former park manager of the W&OD Regional Park and an unofficial historian of the railroad, and David Guillaudeu, who has interviewed former employees, collected old photographs and taken photographs of the railroad and its industries for more than 45 years.

The 128-page book retails for $21.99.

For information, see the Web sites at www.arcadiapublishing.com and www. historypress.net.

The Sun Gazette publishes news and information of interest from across Fairfax County every week in the newspaper and online.
