Description
ATV's bi-weekly round up of all the news and notes from around Arlington. In this edition, we have a new Police Chief... well, for a day. And we look at the new restoration plan for Four Mile Run. There's also the Women of Vision Awards, a tree is planted in memory of Affordable Housing champion Charlie Rinker, Drew Elementary school students celebrate their community with the innovative art exhibit Nauck Community Portraits, and we look forward to July 4th at Long Bridge Park.

In
the
60s
and
70s
flooding
was
a
serious
problem
around
four
mile
run.
Now,
thanks
to
a
flood
channel,
the
area
is
so
much
safer
and
Arlington
County
are
working
to
restore
the
natural
look
of
the
stream.
Will
tell
you
more
about
that
later
in
our
program,
but
first
congratulations
to
Molly
Kaufman
Arlington's.
First
female
police
chief,
well
Friday
anyway,
she
won
the
2nd
annual
chief
for
the
day
contest
spending
her
time
with
the
k-9
unit,
the
motor
unit
and
crime
scene
investigation.

In
route
to
forensic
ID,
my
favorite
officer
was
officer
Kreider
right
chief
good
job,
I
gotta
sell
the
crime
scene,
which
is
super.
This.

You,
the
real
objective,
is
this
is
to
get
young
people
engaged
early
in
life,
not
only
to
have
a
better
understanding
of
appreciation.
What
law
enforcement
does
because
I
think
a
lot
of
it,
unfortunately,
is
viewed
on
TV
or
the
news
or
whatever
else
is
going
on.
But
this
is
a
great
opportunity
for
young
folks
to
get
engaged
with
our
law
enforcement
officers
and
learn
a
little
bit
more
about
what
we
do
and
how
we
do
it
on
a
daily
basis.

charlie
Rinker
was
a
tireless
advocate
for
social
justice
and
affordable
housing,
a
longtime
member
of
the
Arlington
Housing
Commission.
He
founded
and
led
several
organizations
that
made
housing
more
affordable.
The
community
lost
a
very
special
person
when
Charlie
passed
away
in
January.
Recently,
a
tree
was
planted
in
memory
on
a
valley
view
where
he
helped
preserve
a
hundred
and
one
units
as
affordable
housing.

connect
young

with

of

through

The
result

drive
for
years.
A
Rain
has
produced
significant
flooding
in
the
four
mile
run
area
after
Hurricane
Agnes,
the
army
corps
of
engineers
built
an
enormous,
concrete
drainage,
ditch
that
prevents
flooding
but
doesn't
really
enhance
the
streams
natural
beauty.
Well,
all
that's
about
to
change
is
arlington
and
alexandria
broke
ground
on
a
project
to
naturalize
the
stream
banks
and
restore
the
shore
line
along
the
four
mile
run.
Take
a
look
good.
E
F
We're
doing
here
is
we're
maintaining
the
flood
channel
but
saying
there's
a
way
to
do
that.
That
also
takes
into
account
the
natural
values,
the
area
and
the
value
the
area
for
access
for
people,
because
the
original
flood
control
project
simply
didn't
anticipate.
Anybody
would
ever
visit
the
stream
again.
This.
