The 3M Traffic Safety Systems Division has partnered with the IACP Highway Safety Committee for 13 years to recognize police officers who use license plates to solve serious, non-traffic re- lated crimes. On Feb. 27, 2010, around 4 a.m., police responded to the 600 block of North Wakefield Street for a call about an abduction. Two young women were walking to a residence when a man con- fronted them with a handgun. The suspect forced them inside the house where he restrained them. The suspect then forced one of the victims to leave the house with him and she was forced into the suspect’s vehicle. Four hours later, the victim was found seeking help and medical treatment in a neighboring jurisdic- tion. She was suffering from serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital. Shoppers rummage Harry Dickson helps During the investigation of these crimes, Corporal Timothy through hundreds of customers find records.

Visiting Readers Thirty-two preschoolers at The Child and Family Network Centers’ Arlington classrooms were visited Wednesday, Oct. 19, by third and fourth graders from Good Shepherd Christian Academy in Fairfax. As part of Good Shepherd’s Serve-a-Thon, their students read stories, much to the delight of CFNC preschoolers. As the grand finale of their visit, Good Shep- herd students staged a perfor- mance of Michael Rosen’s award-winning read-aloud story, “We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.” See www.cfnc-online.org.

Remembering Coach Trimble The Bishop O’Connell High School com- munity gathered on the morning of Sept. 2, for its first all-school Mass, celebrated in special remembrance of football coach Steve Trimble who died unexpectedly in the summer. Members of the football team served as readers and the entire team wore special shirts in honor of Coach Trimble. From left are Coach Rick Hart, Katy Prebble, Emily Lodge, T.J. Fitzpatrick and Joe Vorbach. In honor of Coach Trimble, an alumni funded scholar- ship was established and named the “Spirit of O’Connell” scholarship. At the conclusion of the morning ceremony, junior Emily Lodge was awarded the first “Spirit of O’Connell” scholarship. www.ConnectionNewspapers.com Arlington Connection ❖ October 26 - November 1, 2011 ❖ 9 Photos by Louise Krafft/The Connection Arlington REAL ESTATE In September 2011, 183 Arlington homes sold Homes Sold in between $2,100,000-$71,000. the $900,000s in September
