The Connection

Dina Bierschenk, a Kings Park resident for 14 years,remembers the time she got her mail and her miss-ing dogs delivered to her at the same time.

“Kit Oliva, our mail carrier, knows all the dogs andall the kids in our neighborhood, so when our dogs, Woolfie andShopska, got away from us, we could see Kit waving down thestreet, and she was holding on to our dogs, and she had our mail,”

Bierschenk said. “That’s just the kind ofcommunity we have. We all look out foreach other, including our mail carrier.”

“I know their pets, their children …you really get to know people here. Icarry candy for the children and I loveanswering their Santa letters. Kings Parkis a little bit like Mayberry,” Oliva said.

On Saturday, March 19, Oliva joinedBierschenk and more than 600 KingsPark residents to celebrate the 50th an-niversary of the neighborhood at Lake

Braddock Secondary School.The annual community potluck dinner was launched four years

ago by Fairfax County Supervisor John C. Cook (R- Braddock).Board of Supervisors Chairwoman Sharon Bulova (D-At-large),who represented the Braddock district for 21 years, joined Cookand U.S. Rep Gerry Connolly (D-11), during the reading of theproclamation.

Supervisor Herrity Goes Green for Campaign Kick-offRepublican incumbent has St. Patrick’s Daytheme for kick-off party.

Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Spring-field) launched his campaign for asecond term.

By Victoria Ross

The Connection

Pat Herrity swore he would never runfor public office. But the el-dest sonof longtime Fairfax County Board of

Supervisor’s Chairman Jack Herrity, whodied in 2006, remembered something hisfather said to him about public service.

“He would tell me that you can’t makeanything happen unless you have a seat atthe table,” Herrity said. “Public service is inmy blood. I grew up with it and the onlyway to get things done is to have a seat atthat table. I am all about getting thingsdone.”

Herrity, who was first elected to the Boardof Supervisors in 2007, kicked off his cam-paign for a second term on Wednesday,March 16, with an Irish-themed event at theSpringfield Golf and Country Club. Theevent, which drew a crowd of about 300constituents and Republican elected offi-cials, included Irish performers, hundredsof green and white balloons and St. Patrick’sDay decorations.

“My father always said our future success

is not preordained,” he told the crowd ofabout 300 people, including Del. Dave Albo(R-42), Fairfax County Circuit Court ClerkJohn Frey and U.S. Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10).“So, I am asking the voters for another termso that I can continue my work to ensurethat Fairfax County remains the best place… to live, work and play.”

Herrity’s father, who served on the FairfaxCounty Board of Supervisors from 1971 to1987, was credited with overseeing thecounty’s boom years, and the pivotal trans-formation of Fairfax County from a sleepysuburb to one of the metropolitan area’smost dynamic economic hubs. Jack Herrityadvocated for the construction of Interstate66, the Dulles Toll Road and the TysonsCorner technology corridor.

In his introduction of Herrity, Wolf toldguests Wednesday that Pat Herrity inher-ited many of his father’s traits, including a“bulldog attitude of taking issues on. … Theapple has not fallen far from the tree.”

As one of three Republicans on the 10-member board, Herrity promised to con-tinue his efforts to give homeowners taxrelief by pushing for more cuts in County

Executive Anthony Griffin’s proposed FY2012 budget of $3.3 billion.

“We’ve made some progress. Taxes on theaverage homeowner in 2011 budget were$4,713, lower than when I took office, butto not be able to cut more than 1 percent

out of a $3.3 billion budget is just wrong,”he said. “Even with all of our hard workover the past 3-1/2 years, we still have gov-ernment run amok in Fairfax County.”

During his speech, Herrity said transpor-tation would continue to be one of his toppriorities.

“Our residents spend far too much of theirtime stuck in traffic. As a transportationadvocate for the last 25 years, I have pushedto make common-sense transportation so-lutions a county priority,” he said, notingthat he has helped ease congestion by sup-porting extended HOV hours, openingshoulder lanes and ramps on Interstate 66and supporting Beltway HOT lanes.

Herrity also said he would continue tofight for strong neighborhoods. “There hasbeen a lot of focus on Fairfax becomingmore urban. While I believe we should ur-banize in certain corridors of the county, itis our suburban neighborhoods that makeFairfax County great.”

Judy Kirk, a hostess at Milano’s Restau-rant in Springfield for nine years, said shewill support Herrity this fall. “I think he’svery ethical. When you ask him a question,he gives you direct answers. He’s a fine citi-zen, and he has represented the citizenshere very well,” Kirk said.

Association (KCPA) and moved to thecommunity 15 years ago with his wife andsix children. “Kings Park is a real neighbor-hood community. We have so many origi-nal owners, and second-generation owners.It’s a small-town feeling in a big area,” hesaid.

“This is a community that cares about itsneighbors. It’s a wonderful place to live,”said Lucy Daris, a past president of theKing’s Park Civic Association (KCPA).

“Folks say that Kings Park is special be-cause of its convenience to the Beltway, thegreat schools in the community, and theaccess to all the wonderful things to do inthe area,” said Kayleen Fitzgerald, KPCApresident and a graduate of Lake BraddockSecondary School.

“But when you boil it down, it’s the peoplewho live here who make it so special. We’vegot some very elderly residents, people withschool-age children, and young couples juststarting their families. That cross-sectionmakes for a dynamic mix,” she said.

Ruth Wong, 75, who moved to the neigh-borhood in 1963, said she remained in theneighborhood where she raised her fourchildren because of her ties to her friendsand neighbors. A former labor and deliverynurse at Fairfax Hospital, Wong currentlyvolunteers at Kings Park Elementary as alanguage teacher.

“My neighbors say they can set theirclocks by me, because I walk the neighbor-hood every morning,” she said. “When wefirst moved here, there were three otherAsian families, but now I see a lot more di-versity. I wouldn’t live anywhere else,” shesaid.

“Everyone tries to look out for their neigh-bors and pitch in to help those that need it.… I also heard through the grapevine about

one couple who decided to buy in Kings Parkbecause they wanted their children to beable to experience our Fourth of July pa-rade,” Fitzgerald said.

The 50th anniversary celebration, whichwas organized by Fitzgerald, committeechairs Marie Cullerton and Pam Cudahy,along with dozens of volunteers, featureddoor prizes, “dessert and dancing” to theKings Park German Band, a flag ceremonyby Girl Scout Troops #3161 and 4622,music by the Kings Park Band, and enoughcasseroles and home-cooked pastries to feeda thousand people.

But it was Fitzgerald’s slide show of KingsPark history and life in the 1960s that hadcommunity residents laughing and crying.

BUILT IN 1961 by the Richmarr Construc-tion Corporation, the company marketedthe subdivision by using a British monar-chy theme. Home models, which rangedfrom $21,000 to $23,000, were named“Prince,” “Princess,” “Queen” and “King,”and later “Duke” and “Duchess.” Salespeople dressed as Buckingham Palace“guards” to greet the thousands of poten-tial homeowners at open-house events.Streets were similarly themed, such asVictoria Road and Parliamentary Way.

Fitzgerald pulled together trivia from theera. In 1961, John F. Kennedy was presi-dent, life expectancy was 70.2 years, infla-tion was 1.9 percent and unemploymentstood at 5.5 percent. Disney released its firstTechnicolor film “One Hundred and OneDalmatians,” “Candid Camera” and “Bo-nanza” were the top-rated TV shows, and“Crazy” by newcomer Patsy Cline, toppedthe music charts.

To put the cost of housing in perspective,Fitzgerald listed the cost of other items in1961:

❖ A gallon of milk cost 57 cents.

❖ A McDonald’s hamburger cost 15 cents.❖ A first-class postage stamp cost 4 cents.❖ A gallon of gas cost 31 cents“I had so much fun researching Kings

Park’s history. … The most surprising thingfor me was learning about how involved theRichmarr Construction Corporation was increating a true community in their housingdevelopment, and about how savvy theywere in promoting and publicizing KingsPark,” Fitzgerald said.

From early 1961, when ground was bro-ken for the development, through 1963, TheWashington Post seemed to cover everybenchmark of the new subdivision. Storiesran in almost every section of the paper,from Metro to Real Estate. Headlines in-

cluded: “Park Site Being Cleared by HomeDevelopers,” “150 Sales Reported at KingsPark,” “Nearly 350 homes sold,” “West Ger-man Group Visits Area Homes.” The devel-opment was even featured in the October1961 issue of Vogue for winning an award.

“Another thing was that I didn’t appreci-ate how rural it was here in the beginning,”Fitzgerald said. “The original owners hadto fend for themselves. They had to workhard for public transportation, a library,recreational activities for their children,neighborhood schools, churches, shopping— everything today that’s already estab-lished that we take for granted.”

Fitzgerald is a second-generation home-owner. Her family moved to Kings Park in1970, and she bought into the neighbor-hood in 2008.

The development has exactly 1,152homes, according to one who should know,Avery-Hess Realtor Susan Metcalf, a 17-yearKings Park resident who has sold many ofthe neighborhood’s homes. She said about100 residents are original owners.

“We live in the Queen model,” Metcalfsaid. “Everyone’s welcome here. Whenyou’re driving down the street and you seesomeone, you stop your car. And you knowwhat? The car behind you doesn’t honk.They usually stop and talk to their neigh-bors, too.”

Mark Galligan, whose family moved toKings Park in 1966 when his father wastransferred here during his military career,moved back to the neighborhood a fewyears ago with his wife and children.

“Everyone asks me why we moved fromFort Lauderdale back to Springfield. Easy.The schools are phenomenal, my sister livesdown the street, and I have a lot of memo-ries here,” he said. “Kings Park is my home-town, it’s in my heart. You look around andgo ‘where’s Don Knotts?’ It’s that kind ofplace.”

Although several candidates are hovering to challenge Herrityin the general election, no Democrat has officially declared torun against the Republican incumbent, according to Rex Simmons,Fairfax County Democratic Committee Chairman.

“We don’t even know what the districts will look like,” Simmonssaid. If Democrats do have two or more viable candidates, a pri-mary is likely and Democratic voters can select their candidateon Aug. 23.

Liz Bradsher, current member of Fairfax county School Boardand a previously Republican-endorsed candidate, applied to jointhe Democratic Party in the Springfield District. She said she isstill mulling over whether to enter the race.

“I’m still uncertain as to whether I will run as a Democrat, orwhether I will challenge Mr. Herrity. I’m inthe process of fact-finding and reviewing thetwo-party system,” she said on Monday.

“I really think that people want someonewho will support them and work for themand not just say something and not followthrough. That means you must get alongwith those you work with, so you can helpyour constituents. And you must be able towork for the greater good and not respondto a small, vocal minority,” said Bradsher.

Simmons added that Springfield Districtresidents deserve a full-time representative.

“No sooner than Pat Herrity had been elected in 2007, he im-mediately declared he was running for another office, and whenhe lost his bid to be chairman of the Fairfax County Board toSharon Bulova (D), he said he would be running for anotheroffice. I don’t know how he can look the voters of Springfield inthe eye, and say he would like to be their supervisor for fourmore years,” Simmons said.

Anthony Bedell, chairman of the Fairfax County RepublicanCommittee, said the fact that no Democrat has declared againstHerrity shows the candidate’s strength in the district.

“I think he fits the district well,” Bedell said. “He’s done solidwork on a number of issues. … Being the opposition voice [onthe Board of Supervisors] helped him find his groove on taxesand the budget.”

“All I can say is that I’ve been able to get a lot done in 3-1/2years, and I look forward to another four years serving the citi-zens of the Springfield District and Fairfax County,” Herrity said.

“Something people always said about my father that I hopethey will say about me is that ‘You may not agree with him, butyou always knew where he stood.’”

Opinion

Have you seen what our politicaldistricts look like? It’s as if theclown who makes balloon ani-mals has gone mad. And it could

be amusing if it didn’t matter so much.Our once-a-decade exercise in partisan hu-

bris is about to unfold. Next week we’ll likelysee proposals that seek to protect Democraticseats in the Virginia Senate, Republican seatsin the Virginia House of Delegates. The statusquo in Fairfax County will get another 10-yearterm. Virginia’s incumbents in Congress willget some reassuring padding, even if it meansdistricts that look like boa constrictors that aredigesting a couple of meals and have been runover by a car in one or two places.

We are not likely to see districts that bestrepresent residents. No one with power is talk-ing about how to draw lines that increase voterparticipation and citizen involvement.

Political districts should be drawn by a non-partisan commission that looks at providingcommunities with representation that works.What works is keeping communities of inter-

Opportunity about To Be SquanderedOnce-a-decade redistricting offers a chance to doit right; no one with power seems interested.

Editorial

est together, so that one town or community isencompassed in some of its political districts.Each resident is represented locally by onemember of Congress, a state senator, a statedelegate, and then by a county board or cityor town council.

The Democratically-controlled Senate andRepublican-controlled House of Delegates ap-

pear to have a gentleman’sagreement in place to focus ontheir own branch of the legis-lature and not interfere witheach other’s lines. So Demo-

crats will gerrymander the senate lines and Re-publicans will gerrymander the delegate lines.

In Northern Virginia, many of these districtssprawl and crawl out like amoebas to capturea given precinct if it will help or hurt partisanbalance. Instead districts should be designedfor good representation, shared high schoolboundaries, shared land use concerns, sharedtraffic challenges, shared public safety con-cerns. It’s unrealistic to think that part-timelegislators will be able to master the nuances

and needs that spread out across three or morejurisdictions, as some delegate districts do.

Delegate districts in particular are the small-est unit of representation for many people, withabout 80,000 residents to be included in thenewly drawn districts. These districts can andshould focus compactly on communities.

Meanwhile, in Fairfax County local govern-ment, the likely outcome of redistricting willbe the status quo, with nine supervisor districts,even though Fairfax County’s population hasgrown by more than 10 percent and so couldeasily support another district. An additionaldistrict would allow for elected officials, bothsupervisors and school board members, to fo-cus on a smaller number of residents, roads,schools and issues. Fairfax should also consideradding a couple of at-large seats in the futureto balance the power of a single supervisor.

Arlington’s county board is elected entirelyat-large, but should consider changing to havesome political districts that could broaden rep-resentation for minorities — ethnic minorities,economic minorities and political minorities.

No one actually making decisions seems tobe interested in creating districts that best rep-resent the residents of the districts.

Delegate BackFrom RichmondTo the Editor:

I returned to the 41st Districtwhen the 2011 General Assemblysession adjourned on Sunday, Feb.27. During this legislative session,the General Assembly faced manychallenges including makingamendments to the state’s biennialbudget, funding transportationand restoring dramatic cuts toeducation that have been madeover the last few years. Major leg-islative steps taken in Richmondinclude:

❖ Education - Our investmentin education is not only essentialfor the future of our children, butalso ensures the ultimate eco-nomic success of the Common-wealth. Funding for publicschools, colleges and universitieshas been significantly reduced inrecent years. In accordance withmy determination to support ourchildren’s educational opportuni-ties throughout the session, I stoodup on the House floor to speakagainst any further reductions ineducation spending. In addition, Iwas also pleased to co-patron theVirginia Higher Education Oppor-tunity Act of 2011. This act willincrease in-state acceptances whilealso rewarding our colleges anduniversities for granting degrees inscience, technology, engineeringand math (STEM).

❖ FY 2010-11 Budget - For

the first time in recent memory, theHouse of Delegates unanimouslypassed the conference report to HB1500, which amended the biennialbudget for the Commonwealth. Ivoted against the original pro-posed amendments to the budgetwhich called for further spendingcuts in education. However, I castmy vote in favor of the final con-ference report, as it not only re-

stored those previousbudget reductionsbut also included anadditional $4.1 mil-lion for Fairfax

County Schools. Other significantfeatures of the approved budgetincluded the restoration of fundsfor our public safety services, es-tablishing a $30 million trust fundto support the disabled in our com-munities, and providing fundingfor transportation without with-drawing essential resources fromthe state’s general fund.

Our Commonwealth, our countyand local governments are cur-rently facing challenging times,but the revised plan achieves abalanced budget while maintain-ing a high quality of life for all Vir-ginians. Accordingly, I supportedthis version of the budget.

❖ Public Safety - I partici-pated in a bipartisan effort to havethe General Assembly classify syn-thetic marijuana as a controlledsubstance. I introduced this bill atthe request of concerned parentsafter incidents in which FairfaxCounty students ingested these

potentially dangerous substances,often with serious consequences.In addition, I am pleased that wewere able to restore some of theprevious cuts to public safety, help-ing our public safety officials pro-tect our families and community.

❖ Transportation - This year,I introduced a bill to change thecurrent transportation mainte-nance formula, from one basedupon an outdated standard, to onereflecting the actualºscientifically-determined conditions of theroads, bridges, tunnels and rails.Although Northern Virginia con-tains 25 percent of the state’spopulation, we only receive 14percent of the funds for road main-tenance. The new standard in thisbill would have ensured that fund-ing goes to those areas that needit. While this bill was successful inthe House of Delegates, it was de-feated in the State Senate.

The General Assembly also tooka first step in helping to repair ourbroken transportation system andbring some congestion relief to theCommonwealth. While we werenot able to agree on a long-term,sustainable funding stream we didprovide additional revenue fortransportation without raisingtaxes or hurting education.

❖ Economic recovery - I sup-ported the governor’s proposals toprovide tax credits and financialincentives to new and expandingbusinesses able to create addi-tional jobs. We have begun to seesigns of economic improvement,

but we must continue to makewise decisions, hold the line onspending, and support those com-panies and businesses that are in-vesting back in the Common-wealth.

❖ The Disabilities Commu-nity – This year, I introduced a billto establish a third-party trust fordisabled individuals, allowing taxdeductions while investing in theirfuture care. While this bill was notpassed during the current session,it has now been submitted to theDisabilities Commission for furtherstudy. I look forward to receivingthe Commission’s comments andrecommendations, and plan to re-introduce this important legisla-tion in the 2012 General Assem-bly session.

I appreciate the opportunity youhave afforded me to represent the41st District in Richmond. I lookforward to seeing you out andabout the 41st District.

A malfunctioning clothes dryerin a basement laundry room set offan early morning fire at a home inSpringfield Monday, March 21. Asmoke alarm alerted the resident,an adult man, to the fire and heescaped before Fairfax County firefirefighters arrived at the single-family home at 5901 Grayson St.

When firefighters arrived at thetwo-story home at 5:15 a.m., theysaw heavy smoke and fire comingfrom the front and basement of thetwo-story home. They also heardloud popping noises as they at-tacked the fire from the street withmultiple hoses. Firefighters wereable to bring the fire under con-trol in approximately 10 minutesprior to making entry into thehome.

The popping noises were deter-mined to be gun ammunition deto-nating in the basement.

Education●Learning●Fun

By Julia O’Donoghue

The Connection

Locally, a handful of private schoolsand at least one public school aretrying to promote health by teach-ing children about gardening and

promoting locally produced food.Hollin Meadows Elementary School, a

public school in the Mount Vernon area ofFairfax County, maintains a 14,000 square-foot garden space that wraps around theschool building as part of its science cur-riculum. In the fall, children work in thegarden and families are allowed to takehome the school-grown produce.

Burgundy Farm Country Day School, justoutside the Interstate-495 in the Alexandriaarea, has a gardening program open to chil-dren, faculty and staff in the fall and spring.Located on the site of an old dairy farm,this private school also has an operatingbarn where students take care of goats andhens and a rooster on a regular basis.

Burgundy families get to take home farmfresh eggs from the school hens on a regu-lar basis, according to Erin Futrowsky,Burgundy’s communications director. Fac-ulty members also get access to the eggsapproximately once every six weeks, sheadded.

“Sometimes the program takes a littleexplaining. At first, some people are con-fused about what we do here. They thinkwe are teaching the kids to farm,” saidFutrowsky.

EDUCATORS are turning their attentiontoward teaching better eating habits as theUnited States continues to struggle withescalating rates of obesity, particularlyamong younger children.

A 2007 survey sponsored by Inova HealthSystems showed that 40 percent of childrenin the City of Alexandria and 25 percent ofchildren in Arlington and Fairfax counties

were either overweight or at-risk of beingoverweight.

Experts at the Center for Disease Controlattribute the rise in childhood obesity na-tionwide to a lack of exercise and poor dietamong young people. Locally, the Inovasurvey found that 70 percent of students inAlexandria, Arlington and Fairfax do not eatenough fruits and vegetables every day.

There are several efforts to curb childhoodobesity through public policy measures.First Lady Michelle Obama has made child-hood obesity her top legislative priority. InVirginia, the General Assembly recentlypassed a bill that would increase the amountof physical education students are requiredto receive in school each week.

STILL SUZANNE BADOUX, who runs thedining services at Episcopal High School,said she has seen a trend toward studentsand institutions making healthier foodchoices.

“We have had a really dramatic increasein the volume of fruit being consumed. Thestudents are eating a lot more whole fruit.Our fruit consumption is probably up 10 to15 percent, if not more, from last year,” saidBadoux, who works for FLIX International,a catering company that emphasizes usingfresh ingredients and cooking from scratch.

“You are never going to see potatoes com-ing out of a box from us,” said Badoux ofher company.

In addition to Episcopal, a boardingschool in Alexandria, Badoux has alsoworked in kitchens at Bishop O’Connell, aCatholic high school in Arlington, andWashington International School, a privateschool in Washington D.C. In general, stu-dents seem to be paying more attention towhat they put in their bodies than they werea few years ago, she said.

“We have a lot of eager takers on the saladbar and we have a growing vegetarian com-munity. There are more and more studentswho are not eating red meat these days,”said Badoux.

In its dining room, Episcopal posts all thenutritional information of the dishes served.The chef said it can be a difficult for schoolsto move from a traditional catering serviceto her company, with its emphasis on fresh

produce and healthier food.“There are lots of kids that would be

happy to have a burger and fries every day.I think a lot of schools have made the tran-sition away from that food even at the riskof the students not always being so happy,”she said.

It can also be a challenge to incorporateeveryone’s preferences, particularly at aboarding school. Episcopal serves breakfast,lunch and dinner seven days per week.There are approximately 600 people - in-cluding faculty, staff and their families wholive on campus - that sit down at each meal.

“As a rough break down, I would sayfreshman boys and senior girls like very dif-ferent things to eat. … But we have thingswe try to throw into the mix that give themexposure to different kinds of foods anddifferent kinds of cuisine,” said Badoux.

Even if a school is striving for a healthiermenu, it is important to keep some of thatwell-known, “fun” food — like pizza andchicken tenders — in the line up so the stu-dents don’t revolt entirely.

“The top 10 foods will always be thingslike chicken tenders, burgers and pizza. Wehave interesting whole grains we serve butwe also make mac and cheese from scratch,”said Badoux.

In general, Episcopal’s move towardhealthier cooking had paid off and Badouxappears to be striking a balance, accordingto Christina Holt, a school spokesperson.

“A recent survey of students and facultyshowed that 89 percent of people reallyenjoy the food. Most either thought it wasreally good or excellent,” said Holt.

WHEN CADYN Harrington brought homecilantro from the Bullis School garden a fewweeks ago, her mother used the herb to tintCadyn’s smoothies and eggs green for SaintPatrick’s Day.

“I like to eat [vegetables from the gar-den] a little bit more. Gardens are kind ofconvenient. You don’t have to go to thestore and buy the vegetables if you have agarden,” said Cadyn, a third-grader atBullis, a private school in Potomac, Md.

“[The vegetables] are fresher. They arestraight out of the garden and all you haveto do is clean them,” said Ethan Isaacson,another third-grader in Cadyn’s class.

Third-grade teacher Carolyn Cohen incor-porates the vegetable garden into many ofher science lesson plans, teaching the stu-dents about sustainable farming along theway.

A few weeks ago, Cadyn, Ethan and otherthird-graders planted sugar snap peas,picked cilantro and learned how to com-post. In April, Cohen plans to teach her stu-dents how to plant potatoes and peanuts.

“We put the seeds about an inch apartusing a tape measure,” said Cohen.

Students get to take home some of theproduce they personally grow but many ofthe garden plots at Bullis are used to sup-ply vegetables to the school’s cafeteria, par-ticularly the salad bar, said SusieZimmermann, a Bullis spokesperson.

In 2006, approximately 26 percent ofMaryland teenagers surveyed between ages13-18 were considered obese or overweight,a rate nearly three times as high it was in1970, according to information on theMaryland government website.

Private Schools Supply Fresh, Local FoodSome local schoolsincorporate gardensinto their curricula.

The Connection

Bobby Wahl and Charlie Morgancarried the West Springfield base-ball team to a state championshipin 2010, the program’s first since

1998.Wahl and his 90-plus mph fastball mowed

down opposing hitters. The right-handerpitched in each of the Spartans’ final sevengames, doing whatever necessary to helpWest Springfield win.

Morgan was a power-hitting force fromthe left side. He set school records for bat-ting average (.551), hits (49), home runs(11), slugging percentage (1.034) and RBIs(40) during the 2010 campaign, includinga clutch three-run homer with the Spartansfacing a 1-0 deficit late in the state semifi-nals against Western Branch.

Wahl could also handle the bat, hittingbetter than .400 for his career. Morgan wasalso a talented pitcher, allowing no earnedruns in 6 2/3 innings in the semifinalmatchup with Western Branch. Each pos-sessed the talent to lead a program to great-ness.

And now they’re gone.Wahl and Morgan went on to play Divi-

sion I baseball: Wahl a pitcher at Ole Missand Morgan a designated hitter at Wake For-est. Back at West Springfield, the Spartansenter the 2011 season with talent, but itwill be hard to live up to the success of lastyear’s team. However, head coach JohnJames offers a solution to dealing with po-tentially overwhelming expectations.

Don’t compare the two teams.“This is a different team,” James said. “We

lost some guys but we gained some guys.They need to establish their own identityand establish their own legacy and they’regoing to go out and do that. They’re goingto work to do that and they can’t try to live

West Springfield Begins Life without Wahl, Morgan

West Springfield senior Trevor Snook went 3 for 3 with seven RBIs during a 14-2, five-inning victory againstRobinson on Saturday.

Spartans open seasonas defending statechampions.

up to anything else.”So far, so good for the Spartans, who

opened the season with victories in theirfirst two games. West Springfield defeatedFairfax, 4-3, on March 18 before thumpingRobinson, 14-2, in five innings on March19. Against Robinson, senior infielderTrevor Snook finished 3 for 3 with sevenRBIs, including a three-run double in thefirst inning.

“Trevor is a three-year starter,” Jamessaid. “He’s developed every year. He’s takenhis game a little higher, he’s improved andhe’s an important piece of what we do.”

Snook said he is one of several Spartanswho need to step up and fill the void left by

Wahl and Morgan.“Ever since last season, that was one of

my goals,” Snook said. “Some of us have tostep up and fill those voids and I feel likewe have the guys to do that. We’re prettyconfident.”

James said he expects seniors Aaron Self(infield), Garrett Wooddell (infield/out-field) and David Pyon (catcher) will playkey roles for the Spartans.

On the mound, James said there is not aNo. 1 or No. 2 starter. Instead, he will startwhoever he thinks gives the Spartans thebest chance of winning that particulargame. Seniors Michael Simko, JTWilliamson, Wes Stonelake and Snook, and

juniors Connor Tagg and Tyler Tobin couldbe impact pitchers.

“We have one pitching staff,” James said,“and we have confidence in all of them.”

West Springfield will travel to face LakeBraddock on March 25, at 6:30 p.m. TheSpartans’ first home game is March 29against Woodson in a rematch of lastseason’s Northern Region championshipgame.

James said the Spartans need to focus onthis season and not think about last year’sstate championship or the pressure thatcomes with it.

“Don’t even talk about it,” he said. “What’sdone is done. That’s in the past.”

Lee High Baseball Brings in the New This SeasonBy Rich Sanders

The Connection

An experienced Lee High baseballteam of a year ago struggled to findsuccess and finished the season 4-

16. This year’s Lancers’ team is muchyounger and will certainly go though grow-ing pangs. But coach Brett McColley’s teamwill do all they can to improve on last year’swin total.

“We will be young and inexperienced thisseason,” said McColley, beginning his fourthseason at the helm of the Lancers. “We lostnine seniors from last year and eight start-ers. We’ve got a lot to improve with oursquad this season.”

Early on this spring, it has been a struggle

for the Lancers, who were 0-3 going intothis week and had given up 40 total runs.One of those setbacks came at district op-ponent West Potomac, 16-1, on Saturday,March 19, in a game that was part of a miniicebreaker tournament hosted by the Wol-verines. In their first game of the tourna-ment on Friday night, the Lancers lost toJefferson High, a member of the LibertyDistrict.

McColley said his team, if it is to enjoysome success this season, must have itsyoung players step up and excel at the var-sity level. Also, the Lancers must stick to-gether, through good and bad times, as a

team.“The keys for success this season will be

us coming together to play as a team andhaving some of our younger players growinto leaders within the team,” he said.

McColley indicated he is waiting for teamleaders to emerge and has thus not chosenany team captains thus far.

The coach said he likes the makeup of histeam as far as being willing to learn moreabout the game and to take instruction. TheLancers have lots of room for improvementand will learn on the run at the varsity level.

“Our strengths this season are that oursquad is capable of huge strides to improve

their game and with coachable players thecoaching staff will work hard to tap intothose areas of improvement,” he said.

On Friday, March 25, at 6:30 p.m., Leewill be at home against district opponentAnnandale. On Tuesday, March 29, theLancers will travel to Alexandria to playdistrict opponent T.C. Williams at SimpsonField.

Over spring break week, which this yeardoes not fall until the week of April 18-23,Lee will compete at the annual tournamentco-hosted by W.T. Woodson and McLeanHigh Schools. The Lancers will play gameson both of those schools’ ball fields.

McColley’s assistant coaching staff thisseason is made up of Matt MacDonald, AlexWiniewicz and Jim McCartin.

Lancers’ roster is filled with young players.
