Juvenile Charged with Fire Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Department fire investigators, last Wednesday, May 12, charged a male juvenile with setting fire to woods – a Class 6 felony. The incident occurred April 1, around 2:30 p.m., in the 15200 block of Dumas Court. The fire was in a common area near single-family homes in Centreville’s Country Club Manor community – close to the Cub Run Stream Valley Park. Fire crews quickly extinguished the approximately 75x25-foot brush fire. There was no damage to any structure and no one was injured. Robberies May Be Linked Robbery detectives in the Sully District believe two recent rob- beries in Centre Ridge may be related. According to Fairfax County police, on May 8, around 11:42 p.m., two males approached a 26-year-old man in the area of Cattail Lane and Summer Pond Drive. Police say one of them pointed a gun at the victim and demanded money. But the victim refused and the suspects fled without taking anything. Minutes later, around 11:44 p.m., police responded to another robbery in the 14300 block of Summer Tree Road, just up the street from the earlier incident. A 28-year-old man was ap- proached by two males as he exited his vehicle. Again, one of the suspects pointed a gun at the victim and demanded cash. When the victim refused, the suspect took his cell phone and then both Photo by Bonnie Hobbs/Centre View suspects fled toward Ridge Pond Drive.

big leagues, each batter’s name was announced over the loud- speaker as he or she came to the plate to bat. Joey, a student at Westfield High, did great. After a few, warm- up swings in the on-deck circle, he stepped to the plate and cracked a line drive into the outfield. He then raced around the bases and, when the fielder had trouble pick- ing up the ball, Joey rounded third and crossed home plate, to the delight of the fans. But in this game, it wasn’t about winning or losing. The most im- portant thing was the playing — and the sheer pleasure it brought the participants. “Joey’s been playing for years in SYA’s Challenger League, and he also plays Special Olympics bas- ketball,” said his mother, Jan Komisarcik of Braddock Ridge. “He’s playing third base tonight, but he especially loves hitting the ball. If he could just do that all day, he’d be in heaven.” She said Joey was just a little boy when he first began Chal- lenger ball. He plays once a week and, each Friday, he excitedly tells his mom, “Baseball’s tonight.” Besides the exercise he receives from it, said Komisarcik, “He’s definitely gotten more self-confi- dence and made lots of friends. It makes him feel more a part of the community, like a regular child. School does inclusion, but baseball usually doesn’t, so this is wonder- ful.”
