An advanced group of 20 highschool students learned aboutsequel injections and cryptogra-phy as their white computer

screens illuminated the classroom. TheGovernor’s STEM Academy CybersecurityCamp opened once again from Aug. 10 –14 at Marshall High School.

Since its inception in 2012, the camp hasgrown into a group of 70 students from allacross Fairfax County. These students rangefrom rising freshmen to seniors and are di-vided into basic and advanced groups de-pending on prior experience.

The camp lays a foundation of defensiveand offensive skills (depending on thegroup) for inquisitive high schools students.Camp leader Jeff Ennis describedcybersecurity to be a multi-faceted subject,so the camp tries to compress a compre-hensive amount of information for its stu-dents in just one week.

“If it [cybersecurity] were a pizza, itwould be a 20 slice pizza,” explains Ennis.

Therefore, the camp helps its students tar-get their greater interest areas specifically,whether they are experienced or just begin-ning to find an interest in cybersecurity.

The students say they share a commoncuriosity for cybersecurity and enthusiasmfor the week at Marshall.

“I’m enthusiastic about how enthusiasticthey are,” says Ennis with a smile.

Devina Choksi, of Marshall High School,even described that on the first day, the stu-dents of the advanced group attempted tohack each other’s computers as an activity.However, Choksi said none of the studentssucceeded.

Marshall’s Cybersecurity Camp opens for the fourth summer.

Many of the students see their futures incybersecurity. Jared Zell, of Marshall HighSchool, said that the camp was the “icingon the cake” in deciding cybersecurity forhis future career path.

President and CEO

Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce

Recently, the Fairfax County Federationof Teachers ran advertisements in theConnection newspapers questioning

the dedication of the Fairfax County Board ofSupervisors and the business community to thecounty’s education system.

Nothing could be further from the truth.The Fairfax Board of Supervisors has worked

tirelessly to support Fairfax County PublicSchools (FCPS). In fact, approximately 70 per-cent of FCPS’ budget is unfairly shouldered bythe county, which comes directly from residen-tial and commercial taxes. From FY 1996-2014,contributions from the county quadrupled thatof student growth. And this past April, theBoard of Supervisors, in its FY2016 adoptedbudget, increased funding for FCPS for the fifthconsecutive year, funding our schools at 99.8percent of their advertised budget; bringing thetotal increase from FY2012 to FY2016 to $240million.

All the while, residents and businesses arebeing taxed by lawmakers in Richmond, with

little return in education dollars coming di-rectly from the state to show for it.

The Fairfax Chamber has, for decades, sup-ported the full funding of K-12 educationthroughout the entire Commonwealth. TheChamber believes that the future growth of theNorthern Virginia economy, and consequentlyVirginia’s economy, depends on a significantinvestment in K-12 education. The Chamberhas been a leading voice in Richmond, work-ing hand in hand with the county, to thwartany attempt to cut the state’s contributions toFCPS.

Our work on behalf of FCPS extends beyondadvocacy. Since 2010, the Fairfax Chamber haspartnered with FCPS to establish the Educa-tion Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable orga-nization allied with, but independent of, thecounty’s public school system.

Every two years, the Fairfax Chamber spear-heads the School Bond Referendum commit-tee ensuring there are appropriate dollars forthe county’s education infrastructure to meetthe needs of our growingly diverse community.

Additionally, the Fairfax Chamber has beenrecognized by the School Board for its years ofdedicated partnership with Fairfax County

Public Schools.And we promise that will not stop. We will

continue to advocate for the needs of ourschools. However, the Fairfax County Federa-tion of Teachers is wrong to direct their frus-tration at the Board of Supervisors and thebusiness community. The problem rests withRichmond.

Historically, the Local Composite Index (LCI)places Fairfax County at a disadvantage by nottaking into account important factors such asthe differential between county and city tax-ing authority, the impact of cost of living on alocality’s ability to pay staff, and the increasedcosts associated with providing services togrowing limited English proficiency and spe-cial education populations.

For years, the Board of Supervisors, FCPS,and the Fairfax Chamber have called upon theGeneral Assembly to provide FCPS their fairshare of state education dollars. Our schools,our children, and our economy depend on it.

We must come together and work unitedtowards a common good. A failure to addressthe problem of inadequate state funding foreducation will leave our schools and our chil-dren behind.

Now Is Time To Unite for Education

Opinion

Yesterday, for the first time in the his-tory of Fairfax County Police Depart-ment, a Fairfax County Police officerwas charged in a shooting death.

On Monday, Aug. 17, former Fairfax CountyPolice officer Adam Torres was charged withthe second-degree murder of John Geer, fol-lowing an indictment returned by a specialgrand jury convened by Fairfax CountyCommonwealth’s Attorney Ray Morrogh. Itappears to be only the second time in historythat the Commonwealth’s Attorney has con-vened a grand jury in an officer-in-volved shooting.

John Geer was shot dead in the door-way to his own own home on Aug. 29,2013 after police were called in a domesticdispute. Torres was fired in July 2015, almosttwo years later.

FCPD began by releasing almost no infor-mation. It took a year-and-a-half, a judge’s or-der, a U.S. senator’s probing, and public out-rage (the most important of these being thecourt order) to get information about the in-vestigation.

But the public outrage led the Fairfax CountyBoard of Supervisors to form the Fairfax CountyAd Hoc Police Practices Review Commission,which has been meeting since April both as acommission and five subcommittees involvingthousands of hours of work by about 70 people.Areas of focus by committee include Use ofForce; Communications; Mental Health; Re-

cruitment, Diversity and Vetting; and Indepen-dent Investigations and Oversight.

Communications recommendations cameout last month, well worth reading on the com-mission website.

Police and county officials recognize that theworld is changing around them, and have en-gaged in the process. The kind of changesneeded represent a massive change in cultureand approach, and none of it will happen over-night, but the process has started.

Several developments, beyond the indict-ment of Torres, mark progress and op-portunity for change.

Last week, FCPD Chief EdwinRoessler posted a website summary of

all officer involved shootings, a major step anda work in progress. The department is wres-tling with communications initiatives on manylevels.

This week, the report released from the Men-tal Health and Crisis Intervention TrainingCommittee marks a remarkable opportunity forFairfax County to transform the way it providesservices to people with mental illness. Recom-mendations reach beyond the police depart-ment to the county jail and the CommunityServices Board, which provides mental healthservices in the county.

Police are often the first responders in amental health crisis. The jail is the county’slargest facility for people with mental illness.The costs, financial and human, of dealing with

Report offers blueprint for transformingaspects of policing, jail and services forpeople with mental illness.

Sea Changes in Policing?

mental health in this way are enormous. The26 recommendations of the Mental HealthSubcommittee, presented by committee chairand state delegate Marcus Simon, offer thecounty a path to getting it right.

Recommendations including fully imple-menting the “Memphis model” of crisis inter-vention, which provides for response teamsincluding officers specially trained in de-esca-lating situations with people in mental healthcrisis; creating a system of getting treatmentrather than incarceration for people with men-tal illness; creating a mental health docket inthe courts; funding a second Mobile Crisis Unitunder the Community Services Board; estab-lish strategically located, 24-hour crisis inter-vention sites where police can safely transfercustody of person in crisis without taking themto jail.

How much will it cost? It will require upfrontmoney, but it costs $50,000 annually to housesomeone in the Fairfax County Detention Cen-ter. To provide intensive therapy in the com-munity costs $7,500 a year.

The Connection

As the lazy days of sum-mer wind down, beachtrips, lemonade standsand lax bedtimes give

way to alarm clocks, textbooks andbackpacks. Public health officialssay that a back-to-school list shouldinclude more than pencils and pa-per. For many, the first order ofbusiness is a well-child physical, adental exam and required immu-nizations.

During a physical exam, parentsshould double check that immuni-zations are up to date, ask if theirchild’s growth is on target andwhat normal developmentalchanges they should expect duringthe next year. Parentsshould also be prepared toanswer questions abouttheir child’s sleep patternsand eating habits.

“Vision checks are an im-portant part of a routineschool entry physical somake sure to ask for one,”said Caroline Sutter, a fam-ily nurse practitioner, DNP-BC, co-director of Masonand Partners (MAP) clinicsand an assistant professorof nursing at George MasonUniversity in Fairfax. “Den-tal exams are important tomaintain health. Ask for areferral for a dental visit.”

George Mason University’s Col-lege of Health and Human Servicesruns MAP clinics, which offersschool entry physicals at no cost.

The Fairfax County Health De-partment provides free school-re-quired immunizations at five loca-tions in the county. “We are offer-ing some special extended hours inAugust and September to accom-modate the back-to-school rush,but we recommend that parentsmake the appointment now,” saidJohn Silcox, public safety informa-tion officer, Fairfax County HealthDepartment.

In conjunction with Inova HealthSystem’s Partnership for HealthierKids, the Fairfax County healthdepartment also offers free physi-cals for school entry to uninsuredchildren. The health departmentalso operates three dental clinicsthat provide services to childrenbased on eligibility.

“We operate three health centersin Falls Church, Alexandria andReston that provide primaryhealth services for low income,uninsured residents who cannot

afford primary medical care ser-vices for themselves and their

families,” said Silcox.Dental services are avail-

able for eligible children inArlington through highschool age. Vaccines re-quired by Arlington CountyPublic Schools are alsoavailable free of charge.

In Alexandria, the ChildHealth Clinic provides pre-ventative health services forinfants and childrenthrough age 5, and physi-cals for daycare and schoolentrance through age 11.The Alexandria Health De-partment offers routine im-munizations for infants,

teens and adults.The Montgomery County Mary-

land, Health and Human ServicesDepartment offers an Immuniza-tion Program with walk-in immu-

nizations to children under theage of 19. The county also offersdental care for children agesthree to 18.

Sutter says proper sleep andphysical activity are also part of the

pediatric health care pictureand should not be overlooked.Transitioning from a summerof sleeping late to a schoolyear of early wake-up callscan be challenging if childrenare not prepared. “Establish asleep schedule now,” saidSutter. “With summer comingto an end, it is important toget kids on a regular sleepschedule before school starts.

“Stress the importance ofroutine physical activity withyour child,” she continued.“Talk about sports they mightbe interested in during theschool year or other ways tostay physically fit but most im-portant set a good example.Exercise regularly yourself orwith your children.”

For those experiencing anxi-ety about returning to school,Sutter suggests addressing theissue before the first day of

school. “Come up with a good planto address them,” she said. “Talk toyour children about kindness andwhat to do if he or she is a victim ofbullying and how to ask for help ifneeded.”

Local governments, clinics offerfree immunizations for all andphysical exams for the uninsured.

For The Connection

Oakton and Madisonhigh schools are lo-cated less than twomiles apart from

each other, and the annual foot-ball games between these “’cross-town rivals” have drawn enormouscrowds. For the last seven years,the Cougars have come out on top,but this year the Warhawks aredetermined to break the streak.

Having gone 5-5 in 2014 andmissed the playoffs, coach LennySchultz and the Warhawks are fo-cusing solely on their openinggame against their Vienna rival.

“Oakton is always a challenge,”Schultz said. “Wehaven’t doneanything untilwe start the sea-son with a win.… [S]o that isour first chal-lenge and wearen’t looking re-ally past that un-til it’s done.”

The Warhawkswill begin theirseason at Oaktonon Sept. 4.

Hoping to im-prove from lastyear, Madisonput extra empha-sis on the impor-tance of strengthand conditioningduring theoffseason, withthree playersbreaking theschool’s previous squat record. Of-fensive lineman John Bingham (6feet 4, 215 pounds) holds the newschool record with a 475-poundsquat.

“Our offseason conditioning wasreally challenging and tested usphysically and mentally,” Binghamsaid. “We did a lot of intense,cross-fit-type stuff and it reallyworks and gets us in shape. Wecame back this year bigger andfaster.”

Running Madison’s offense isfourth-year varsity team memberand three-year starting quarter-back Jason Gastrock, who threwfor 2,000 yards in 2014.

“It’s good to have an experi-

enced returning quarterback be-cause we all already know hisstrengths and his weaknesses,”Bingham said. “[Gastrock’s]strong, he’s smart with the ball,and he makes good choices. He’sa good leader on offense.”

Also returning to the offense arereceiver Jordan Ebersole and line-men Ryan Partridge and DrewSmith. Schultz hopes to see animprovement in the team’s run-ning game, and suspects that theoffensive line will be the muscleof the team.

“We have a veteran offensiveline and we really feel that theycould be the strength of our teamthis year,” Schultz said. “They com-mitted to getting stronger in the

weight room andit shows on thefield.”

Defensively, re-turners includesafety Sam Kidd,who had seveninterceptions lasts e a s o n ,c o r n e r b a c kKullen Kritsky,and linebackerPaul Gerdon.

“We run a lotof zone cover-age,” Kritskysaid. “We’ve runthe same thingfor a long timeand it’s worked.Our defensivebacks haveplayed well forthe past fewyears.”

With low turn-out numbers for tryouts, some in-experienced players will step intostarting roles. Jimmy Goldsmith,after missing last season, will fillone of the linebacker positions.

“I have a lot of confident kidsthis year because of working outand being stronger. We are pre-pared to do whatever it takes towin,” Schultz said. “If we need tobeat people with our skill game,we’re ready to pound it at themand play a hard-nosed, drivengame. We can do a variety ofthings offensively to control thegame. We haven’t beat Oakton ineight years, so if we beat them,great, on to week two with anotherstrong team.”

Warhawks look to snap seven-yearlosing streak to Cougars.

It’s a great bandwith lots of different instruments.” Audience mem-ber Bob Richey said the concert “could have used abit more volume.” However, Richey still enjoyed theconcert and said he attends concerts on the greenonce or sometimes twice a week. Richey said he en-joys the concert series because “There is a big vari-ety of music and they are all really good perform-ers.” Find the 2015 concert schedule on viennava.govfor future performances hosted on the Green.
