County Leaders (Mostly) on Board with I-66 Plan

Briefing from State Official Fills in Details of McAuliffe Administration’s Proposal SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

HOMELESS-SERVICES FACILITY IS SET TO MAKE A LONG-AWAITED DEBUT

Kathleen Sibert, who heads the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN), heaves a sigh of relief during a presentation last week introducing the county government’s new homeless-services center. She is shown with County Board member Jay Fisette. The year-round center’s opening was delayed about eight months, but even some past critics are accepting of the facility. See coverage on Page 3.

APS Enrollment Still Tracking in Line with Projections Arlington school officials say they are on track to come close to hit enrollment figures for 2015-16 they had projected earlier in the year. With 25,332 students in class as of Sept. 17, the school system is approaching the estimate of 25,678 put on paper in the spring, Superintendent Patrick Murphy told School Board members.

If the official figure based on Sept. 30 enrollment is close to the original estimate, Arlington will have about 4.7 percent more students in school than a year ago. The trend is expected to continue – Arlington school leaders project enrollment ultimately will surpass 30,000, a figure higher than even at the height of the Baby Boom in the early 1960s.

Like all school systems across the commonwealth, Arlington forwards its official student count to the Virginia Department of Education each Sept. 30. “We continue to feel confident that we’re going to be tracking very closely to the spring [numbers],” Murphy said. “We would actually prefer if we’re a little below the spring projections, but we’ll see how that all plays out.”

Arlington County Board members say there is more outreach to do, but pronounced themselves mostly satisfied after their first formal engagement with state officials over planned changes to Interstate 66 inside the Beltway. “Mildly optimistic” is how County Board Chairman Mary Hynes termed her view after a Sept. 24 briefing from Nick Donohue, Virginia’s deputy secretary of transportation. “Cautiously optimistic” is how board member Jay Fisette put it. “Somewhat encouraging” was the response of board member John Vihstadt. The McAuliffe administration plans to add tolls to I-66 Nick Donohue inside the Beltway in 2017, using the funds to provide transportation upgrades to a corridor that runs from Lee Highway to the north to Arlington Boulevard to the south. In his remarks, Donohue noted that past history continues to play a role in how the public perceives changes to a stretch of asphalt he – probably correctly – termed “the most negotiated and contested piece of interstate highway in the entire United States.” Arlington residents and elected leaders fought for two decades to keep the road out of the community, then, after it opened in the early 1980s, saw the promised restrictions on use of the road progressively loosened in the succeeding decades. “There’s been some skepticism of citizens . . . because of past experiences,” Donohue said. “We need to do a better job.”

SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

It’s more than six months behind schedule and has weathered criticism from neighbors and fiscal watchdogs, but those rough seas appear to have calmed as the new Arlington homeless-services center preps for its public debut. Even as vocal an early critic as Kenneth Robinson, who lives in a Courthouse-area condominium adjacent to the new facility, has proffered an olive branch to the county government and Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN), which will run the year-round facility. “A-SPAN and the county seem to have listened to a lot of community concerns and tried to reduce potential problems,” Robinson said last week, as the county government was shepherding groups through the new center. The public will get a chance to view the facility – located at 2020 14th St. North – during a open house slated for Oct. 1 from 4 to 7 p.m. The new center is “more than just a shelter – [it is] a powerful new resource” toward the goal of ending homelessness in Arlington, A-SPAN officials said as they prepped the space for its first occupancy. The facility will supplant a dilapidated building located several blocks north, which previously had been used as a winter-only shelter (but was kept open this spring and summer until the transition to the year-round facility could be made).

New Homeless-Services Center Prepped for Its Debut

Through most of its history, the emergency winter shelter was only open at nighttime, leaving those using its facilities on their own during the day. The new center occupies two lower floors of a seven-story, 1960s-era office building in Courthouse that the county government acquired from a Canadian real-estate investment group in early 2013. Some of the retail tenants on the ground floor have remained; the county government plans to move some of its staff into the upper floors of the building. When the County Board approved a use permit to allow renovation of the space for use as a homeless-services center to move forward, the target date for opening was late 2014. Construction delays and other issues tangled up the timetable. Critics of the facility have voiced concerns about security – even though the county police headquarters is right next door – and harbored fears that providing

comprehensive services will make Arlington a magnet attracting the homeless from across the Washington region. Officials say that won’t be the case. “These services are for Arlington County residents only,” said Kathleen Sibert, who heads A-SPAN. But there is a caveat attached: When a person enters the shelter, he or she will have 96 hours (four days) to provide documentation of a connection to Arlington. If unable to do so, the individual will be linked to shelters and services in his or her home jurisdiction. How big a problem is homelessness in Arlington? Based on a count earlier this year, the total homeless population (including those in shelters) across the county totaled 239, down from 291 a year before and a 50-percent decrease from 2013. Those classified as “unsheltered” – mostly living on the streets – dropped from 146 in 2013 to 51 in 2014 to 39 in 2015, a

decline of 73 percent in two years. It is a trend local officials attribute to aggressive efforts to find housing and provide social services for those on the street, with a particular emphasis on the chronically ill as well as military veterans. Regionally, the total homeless population of 11,623 in 2015 was down 2.7 percent from 2014, based on an annual count conducted each January by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. Across the region, 0.22 percent of the population is counted as homeless; excluding the District of Columbia from the data, the rate is 0.09 percent. Arlington’s homeless population, based on the January 2015 count, represents 0.11 percent of the county’s overall population, according to the data. In addition to beds, the new Arlington homeless-services center will provide basic health-care, substance-abuse and job-training services.

County Officials to Set Up Fire-Station #8 Task Force SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Bowing to what had become all but inevitable, Arlington government leaders on Sept. 24 agreed to set up a task force in an effort to referee battles over the future of Fire Station #8. “It’s time to go back to the community – reaching consensus would be a wonderful thing,” acting County Manager Mark Schwartz said in recommending a fastpaced process that would see the group return with recommendations by next spring. Schwartz’s recommendation came after

OCTOBER 2015

a number of contentious community meetings, where residents turned out to aggressively oppose a staff proposal to move the fire station from its longtime location on Lee Highway to county-owned land along Old Dominion Drive, adjacent to Marymount University. Residents of the Hall’s Hill community, where the station currently is located, appear to be largely against the move, while residents around the proposed location seem unhappy with the prospect of having a big public facility in their midst. Given the contentious mood, County Board members were quick to agree to a task force.

“We do need to take a pause, a breather,” said board member John Vihstadt, giving time to “investigate and examine a lot of options.” Under Schwartz’s proposal, County Board members in October first would hold a work session with staff, where they would be briefed on the process to date and develop a “charge” that would set parameters for the task force. Once its membership was appointed, the group would work through next March – with recommendations coming in time to be incorporated into discussions related to the county government’s budget and capital-spending plan. “It sounds like a good plan,” said County Board Chairman Mary Hynes. But not everyone was completely sold. County Board Vice Chairman Walter Tejada wondered aloud whether a community process would provide alternatives to those already on the table. “What do you expect will be different from a new conversation?” he asked Schwartz. County staff long have supported moving the fire station to the Old Dominion site, saying it will cut response time to areas of far northwest Arlington. Opponents counter that the benefits are not outweighed by the cost ($12 million) and the psychological impact of removing a fire station with deep roots in the historically-black Hall’s Hill community. Community meetings got progressively more raucous before culminating with something of a free-for-all Sept. 17 at Yorktown High School. Schwartz acknowledged the summer process had not gone well. “We don’t really have the community’s trust,” he said. “Now would be a good time

for a focused conversation.” Some opponents of the staff proposal fear the task force might just be for show, while county officials are bracing for a fight over the wording of the directive that will guide the task force. And, County Board member Jay Fisette said, “it’s going to be hard to find participants . . . with an open mind.” Official: No Joint-Use Fire Station with Fairfax in Near Term: Arlington residents who want the county government to build a fire station shared with Fairfax County got the same answer at a recent forum that they had two months before. Such a proposal is “not feasible” for now, Deputy County Manager James Schwartz said at the latest community forum on the future of Fire Station #8, held Sept. 17 at Yorktown High School. Fairfax officials are focusing their energies on the growing Tysons Corner area, and already have a station in McLean to serve areas of extreme northeast Fairfax and northwest Arlington, Schwartz said. As a result, Fairfax officials have not been receptive to overtures from Arlington on the subject, although Schwartz – who until the summer served as Arlington’s fire chief – said such an idea was “not out of the question in the future.” Proponents of the interjurisdictional facility say it would remove the necessity to move Fire Station #8 from Lee Highway while also providing quicker response times for the northwesterly areas of Arlington. Arlington fire officials acknowledge they ultimately will seek an additional fire station to augment to existing 10, but Schwartz suggests extra facilities are most needed in the Crystal City/Pentagon City area.

C. Board Members Take Another Step to Set Future of Reevesland SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington County Board members have taken the next step in their plan to potentially sell off COUNTY the Reevesland farmwhile maintainNOTES house ing most of the land around it as open space. Board members voted 4-1 on Sept. 19 to divide the 2.5-acre property near Bluemont Park into two parcels – one for the home and the remainder as open space. The vote was a prerequisite to moving forward with a sale of the 19th-century farmhouse, which was acquired by the county government in 2001 after the death of Nelson Reeves, who until the 1950s had operated the last working dairy farm in Arlington. County Board Vice Chairman Walter Tejada, who opposes moving forward with a sale, cast the lone dissenting vote. But in a statement, board chairman Mary Hynes said finding a purchaser is just one of several options still on the table. “Creating two separate parcels now does not mean that the farmhouse will be sold immediately,” Hynes said. “It means that we continue to pave the way for it to be restored and preserved, whether by an

individual or through a private-partnership proposal.” Board members instructed acting County Manager Mark Schwartz to not immediately record the subdivision of the property with the Circuit Court, in order to give prospective partners the opportunity to put forward specific proposals. The county government has up to three years to record the subdivision plat, officials said. County Board OKs Expansion of Abingdon Elementary: Arlington County Board members on Sept. 21 approved the School Board’s request to expand Abingdon Elementary School, a move aimed at easing the ongoing student crunch at Arlington elementaries. The vote, which had been expected and was unanimous, will allow the school system to add 136 new seats to the Fairlington school, bringing it to a capacity of 725 students. The package, which totals 30,000 square feet of construction, will include 12 new classrooms, a new gymnasium and an outdoor instructional area. Abingdon Elementary originally was built in 1949 to handle the Baby Boom, and was expanded in 1964, 1970 and 1990. It is named after the plantation house that once stood where Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport is now found.

John Vihstadt, who last year ended Arlington Democrats’ 15-year monopoly on the County Board, has endorsed fellow Republican-backed independent Michael McMenamin in this year’s board race. No surprise there. But then comes the twist: Vihstadt also announced his support for Democrat Christian Dorsey. There are “four very strong and interesting candidates” on the ballot, Vihstadt said at the Sept. 23 Arlington County Republican Committee meeting. “They all have their pluses, they all have their minuses.” At that meeting, Vihstadt announced his endorsement of McMenamin – praising him as a consensus-builder who understands issues important to neighborhoods – and followed up with a declaration of support for Dorsey on the morning of Sept. 28. “I’ve known and respected Christian and Mike for years,” Vihstadt said in a statement. “They’ve both shown a willingness to challenge the status quo.” In two elections last year, Vihstadt defeated Democrat Alan Howze to abscond with a County Board seat held for more than 15 years by Democrat Chris Zimmerman, who resigned early in 2014. (Fun fact: Both Dorsey and McMenamin took on Zimmerman in past elections, one in a Democratic caucus and the other in a general election. Zimmerman won both races.) Vihstadt became the first non-Democrat on the board since Republican Mike Lane briefly held a seat in 1999. The endorsement came as the campaign of McMenamin, an attorney and former president of the Arlington County Civic Federation, works to make inroads against Dorsey and fellow Democrat Katie Cristol. That pair won the June Democratic primary, and are joined on the Nov. 3 ballot by McMenamin and independent Audrey Clement. McMenamin ran for County Board as the GOP nominee in 2006 and 2007, falling short to Democrats each time. He believes voter discontent – which helped carry Vihstadt to dual victories last year – could help him, as well. “I think this is the year we can do it – but it’s going to take a push,” McMenamin said. “There is some pent-up anger at the County Board. I hear a lot of people saying ‘Anyone but a Democrat.’” The quest to topple the dominance of

Democrats could be a harder sell in 2015 than it was in 2014, as the controversial Columbia Pike streetcar project is now off the table (for the moment), and because Cristol and Dorsey have positioned themselves as new-generation Democrats not tied to existing board members. Both Vihstadt and McMenamin made the decision not to seek the Republican nomination in their runs, but received an endorsement from the party. In practical terms, the differences are minimal. If Vihstadt’s endorsement of McMenamin was not entirely unexpected, his support for Dorsey might come as a surprise. Dorsey said he’s happy to have it. In a statement – which noted he has now been endorsed by all five incumbent County Board members – Dorsey praised Vihstadt’s work in office. “Since he was elected [in April 2014], John has been diligent in ensuring community leaders and stakeholders have meaningful input in the county decision-making process, and has, with the support of other board members, worked to be a good steward of taxpayer dollars by creating a performance auditor position,” Dorsey said. “These are all initiatives that are important to Arlington, and that I’ve been talking about throughout this campaign.” Arlington’s five County Board seats are elected on a rotating basis, with one seat up for grabs three of every four years and two on the ballot the fourth. All four candidates on the 2015 County Board ballot will run as one, with voters getting two picks and the top two finishers taking their seats Jan. 1 to succeed retiring Democrats Mary Hynes and Walter Tejada. Forum to Focus on Arts in Civic Life: The role of the arts in Arlington’s broader civic life will be the topic of a candidate forum sponsored by Opera Nova and slated for Thursday, Oct. 1 from 7 to 9 p.m. at Glebe Elementary School. The “free-for-all forum” will feature participation by candidates for County Board, School Board, constitutional offices and state legislature. Those with questions to be posed to candidates can submit them by phone at (703) 536-7557 or by e-mail at operanovacontact@gmail.com The school is located at 1770 North Glebe Road. Interfaith Group to Host County Board Candidate Forum: Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE) will host a candidate forum featuring contenders for County Board on Sunday, Oct. 4 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. at Arlington Presbyterian Church, 3507 Columbia Pike. Candidates will discuss affordable housing, education and transportation.

Our View: Endorsements for Constitutional Offices It’s been eight years since all five Arlington constitutional offices have shared the ballot together, and over that stretch, three newcomers arrived to take the place of longtime incumbents who opted for retirement. In all three cases, the successors were (in one way or another) protégés of those who were departing office. Paul Ferguson succeeded David Bell as clerk of the Circuit Court in 2008, Theo Stamos took over from Richard Trodden as commonwealth’s attorney in 2012 and Carla de la Pava became treasurer when Frank O’Leary departed mid-term in the summer of 2014. In all these cases, the transition periods were ones of evolution rather than revolution, as the new arrivals made tweaks rather than wholesale overhauls of their offices. Ferguson, Stamos and de la Pava all are seeking re-election, as are

Sheriff Beth Arthur (first elected in 2000) and Commissioner of Revenue Ingrid Morroy (2003). All five are Democrats. We do not profess to spend our days watching over the internal operations of the constitutional offices (so named because their duties are outlined in the Virginia Constitution), so we have no exceptional insight how well the offices are being operated at the staff level. And yes, there have been instances in the past four years when some of the elected officials have been cast in a negative light. But looking at the totality of the big picture, we find no grounds that any of the incumbents should be turned out of office. As each is unopposed, that’s not a practical option for the electorate, regardless. Each of the constitutional officers appears to have a firm grasp on the operations of his or her office; has

worked well with, but remained independent of, the county government; and each appears to take seriously the job of running the offices effectively and efficiently. Stamos, de la Pava, Arthur and Morroy each are vying for new fouryear terms. Ferguson, like other clerks of court across the commonwealth, has an eight-year term – a remnant of the Byrd Machine era when the powers that ran Virginia didn’t particularly care who sat on city councils or boards of supervisors, but made darn sure they had control of the local courthouses. We have endorsed all five constitutional officers in their past bids for office, and nothing in the intervening years suggests they will not do effective jobs if returned to office. For that reason, we offer our support to all of them in their upcoming bids for reelection.

Housing Plan Fails to Deliver Concrete Reforms Editor: After dozens of community meetings, a lengthy county board public hearing and millions of public dollars spent on housing consultants, staff time and printing, the affordable-housing master plan recently adopted by the County Board was a big disappointment to some of us. The plan is “all bun and no hamburger,” as Burger King used to mock its fast-food competitors in the 1970s and ’80s. The plan does accurately list the need for more effective and wider assistance to the 7,000 households in Arlington earning less than 60 percent of area median income (equating to $45,000 for a single person and $58,000 for a family of three) who have burdensome rental-housing costs. But

neither the required funding nor needed legislation was identified. One goal is to add roughly 1,000 affordable apartments annually for renters making less than 60 percent area median income over the next 15 years, when the county has lost roughly 700 such units a year since 2000. How is that complete reversal going to happen? The master plan has no analysis of failures in the $36 million of annual local spending for housing assistance, and no acknowledgement of the County Board’s own negligence over the past 15 years, when 17,000 private-market, affordable rental apartments disappeared from Arlington. The county government had specific housing targets for over 20 years, and failed to

meet them. The housing task force was populated with many insiders, sycophants and commercial interests reliant on the many millions of dollars of local housing funds. So it is not too surprising that this insiders’ group basically recommended that the County Board just continue with its current failed program, but on a grander scale. Those of us in the community who do support more effective and more housing assistance to lower-income renters in Arlington are disappointed that serious reform of this failed program was not included in the plan, nor accurate and reasonable funding and enabling legislation identified. John Reeder Mark Antell

More Development Will Overwhelm County with Students Editor: According to the first-day-of-school report Superintendent Patrick Murphy presented to the School Board on Sept. 10, Arlington Public Schools had 2,128 more students on the first day of school this year than on the first day of school last year – 9 percent higher this year than last. The big question is why the County Board and the county government continue to prioritize increasing density and

building more housing when they are not able to provide enough seats to school the children who already live here. And when the county has no plan on where to put or how to pay for all the additional schools that will be required to accommodate projected growth in school enrollment. The County Board should stop authorizing further increases in housing density until such time as it has devised a way to

project the impact of proposed density increases on county services, and to calculate the fiscal impact of providing those services. That is the essence of smart planning and is most critical for education, the single most important and expensive service that is provided by the Arlington County government. Michael Thomas Arlington

3 Finalists Emerge for Site of New Elementary SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Thomas Jefferson Middle School, Drew Model School and the Gunston Middle School/Oakridge Elementary School campus remain in contention as prospective locations for Arlington’s next elementary school. The South Arlington Working Group, which was tasked by the School Board in June with recommending a site that could house a 725-seat elementary and be completed by 2019, presented the three tracts as its preferred list to School Board members on Sept. 24. The group’s final report is expected to be delivered Nov. 5. The need for a new school is great, Greg Greeley task force chairman Greg Greeley told School Board members, as the countywide population boom that first impacted schools in North Arlington is gravitating south. “By 2019, there are going to be substantial seat deficits across a number of schools in South Arlington,” Greeley said, singling out Oakridge, Patrick Henry and Barcroft elementaries as those that will soon be most cramped. Knowing that the population boom was coming, School Board members in 2014 designated that Thomas Jefferson site as their preferred location for a new elementary school. But the move generated hostile reactions from neighbors and open-space advocates. In January of this year, the County Board put the brakes on that proposal, saying not enough study of alternatives to the Thomas Jefferson site had been done. In response, the School Board set up the task force led by Greeley, and appear to be happy with the pick. “We had a lot of confidence in his leadership,” School Board member Barbara Kanninen said. “He has kept this group on point – this group has been positive and constructive all the way through.” The panel has held eight meetings since its formation, wading through data and analyzing a host of potential sites. “I’m in awe of how you were able to do all that over the summer,” School Board Chairman Emma Violand-Sanchez said. Greeley said that while the group was focusing on finding a site that could be turned into an elementary school by September 2019, they also hunted for potential “substantially better” sites that might not meet that deadline. They came up empty: task-force members “haven’t found an answer that was so compelling” to recommend it, Greeley said. The task force will hold a community forum on Thursday, Oct. 1 at 7 p.m. at Wakefield High School.

Residents should not fear the growth that is expected in Arlington over the next quarter-century. But the community needs to take more concrete steps to plan for it. That’s the conclusion of John Milliken, who in recent months has been shepherding a task force studying Arlington’s growth and the impacts on county-government resources ranging from parks to schools to public-safety facilities. “It’s much more positive for everybody if we’re growing,” Milliken said during remarks Sept. 23 before the Kiwanis Club of Arlington. “I like a growing, vibrant community, but it has its challenges. Let’s not kid ourselves: The solutions are going to cost more.” Milliken, an attorney who served on the County Board from 1981-90 and long has been active in civic life, has led the task force since it was set up earlier this year by the County Board and School Board. The 23 members are set to present an interim report to both bodies on Sept. 29, with their final report due in November. In announcing the composition of the task force earlier this year, County Board Chairman Mary Hynes said she was confident its members were up to the task. “We’ve put together a great group of Arlingtonians who I know will work hard in the coming months to develop the framework for addressing our community’s important facilities needs,” said Hynes, who is serving as a County Board liaison to the group in conjunction with her colleague, John Vihstadt. Milliken said the panel is making strides toward completion, and already have a first draft of their report. “It may change,” he said. “We’re debating it, we’re discussing it. We’re going to work our way through.” The Arlington County government and school system control a collective 2.2 square miles out of Arlington’s 26-squaremile total. Making the most out of that small footprint could mean everything from building up rather than out, to putting parking underground, to embarking on significantly more joint-use facilities. “The scarcest resource in Arlington is land,” Milliken said. “We’re going to have to be very deliberative in how we plan for and use our public facilities.” Another major concern: how to pay for new rounds of capital spending, especially with the commercial real estate market in the doldrums. Arlington’s commercial-office vacancy rate currently stands above 20 percent, with some corridors at or above 30 percent. That’s as high as it’s ever been. Those vacancy rates have a direct impact not only on the county government’s coffers, but on the pocketbooks of local homeowners. Every 1 percent of office vacancy equates to $3.4 million in lost tax revenue, according to county staff, equivalent to one-half cent on the real-estate tax rate. And every half cent added to the tax rate costs those living in single-family homes an average of $29 more per year. “These are meaningful impacts on you

Affordable-Housing Battle Spawns New Interest Group SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The fight over Arlington’s Affordable Housing Master Plan has spawned a new civic-action group: Mi Voz Cuenta (“My Voice Counts”). The group POLITICAL was established conPOTPOURRI tocernscounter raised by another civic-action organization – the Coalition of Arlingtonians for Responsible Development – that the housing plan would concentrate too many affordable units along the western end of Columbia Pike, and potentially have a negative impact on school performance. The new group is affiliated with Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement, or VOICE. In a letter to County Board members, the group says it represents more than 400 residents of South Arlington, and wants those members to have a greater voice in government decisions impacting them. The group voiced anger over “rhetoric that implies that students [from low-income households] have a negative impact on their more privileged peers and their schools.” “We share others’ concerns that children of families with lower incomes are not performing as well as their peers,” the group said. “However, we feel very strongly that addressing our and our neighbors’

most rudimentary needs, such as access to affordable and stable housing and wraparound services, are key to diminishing the achievement gap. We strongly reject the suggestion of a moratorium on affordable housing anywhere in Arlington.” Critics of Affordable-Housing Plan to Press Battle During Budget Process: Those concerned that the Arlington County government is going too far in making promises on affordable housing need to have their voices heard during next year’s budget process, the chairman of the Arlington County Republican Committee says. Matt Wavro on Sept. 23 tried to tamp down GOP unrest over the housing plan, which was adopted unanimously by the County Board five days before, while looking toward future battles on the subject. “The plan didn’t obligate the county, directly or indirectly, to spend money,” Wavro said. “The testimony at the budget hearing is going to determine how that is funded – the money is not going to come from anywhere until after the budget hearings.” Residents are likely to get an inkling of how the county government plans to move forward with funding its housing priorities in January, when acting County Manager Mark Schwartz presents his draft fiscal 2017 spending package. Public hearings will be held in March, with the final budget plan adopted later in the spring. Interfaith Group Planning Voter-Outreach Effort: Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement (VOICE) is planning an outreach effort to encourage residents in low-turnout areas of Arlington to participate in the Nov. 3 election. The nonpartisan organization held training on Sept. 10 and plans to hold voter-registration and volunteer-recruitment drives at each of its participating faith communities on Sept. 27. The effort will culminate in a get-outthe-vote blitz in the days prior to the election as well as on Election Day. Tejada to Headline Senior-Democrats’ Luncheon: Arlington Senior Democrats will host its monthly luncheon on Thursday, Oct. 15 from noon to 2 p.m. at Busboys and Poets. The speaker will be County Board Vice Chairman Walter Tejada, who will discuss issues related to immigration both locally and at the national level, and suggest some solutions to existing problems. The community is invited; the cost of $25 includes lunch. For information, R.S.V.P. to Richard Barton at rabarton2@verizon.net. Republicans Out, About Collecting Signatures: Representatives from four presidential campaigns used the Sept. 23 Arlington County Republican Committee meeting to collect signatures in efforts to get their contenders into next year’s presidential primary. Campaigns of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich and Jeb Bush were on hand to continue whittling away at the state government’s requirement of 5,000 valid signatures statewide in order to secure a spot on the March 1, 2016, Republican presidential-primary ballot.

A custom Arts-and-Crafts home that made its debut in 2012, the property exudes charm and elegance across three large levels, with attention to detail throughout. The property currently is on the market, listed at $2,299,000 by Hillary Curtin, Jennifer Harlow, Pam Hazen and Allison McBane of The Key Associates of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty.

(StatePoint) Unlike some home improvements, window upgrades are complex, involving many moving parts. If you are in the market for an upgrade, don’t rush into a decision until doing some research and evaluating what will work best on your home, the experts say. Here are things to consider when replacing your home’s windows, according to the experts at ProVia: An energy-efficient glass package: The right windows will protect your home and keep you comfortable all year long, limiting the sun’s rays from coming through and fading your carpet and upholstery, as well as preventing cold air from entering your home in the colder months. “Test your current windows by touching them. If you feel the outside chill and air coming through, it may be time for a change,” said Wanda Angel, Brand Manager for Doors and Windows at ProVia. Seek Energy Star-certified highperformance windows, ideal for the weather extremes particular to your region. Warranty: Windows can cost thousands of dollars. Protect your investment by opting for windows that come with a lifetime warranty that includes glass breakage and seal failure. A comprehensive warranty should also be transferrable to the next homeowner; this feature can potentially increase your home’s value when you put it on the market. Weather stripping: Prevent air infiltration through your windows with proper weather stripping. A bulb seal at the bottom of the window – a rubberized seal that compresses to the sill, combined with fin weather stripping on verticals and horizontals – will give you triple weather stripping that acts as a true barrier against drafts, keeping you comfortable and helping reduce utility bills. Beauty: Your windows, like any exterior element on your home, should complement its architecture and add beauty to your house. While certain architectural styles, such as Colonial, once reigned, there’s a new trend toward American Craftsman homes.

Business Briefcase bia Pike parcel say they are not planning to redevelop it immediately, but are keeping their options open for down the road. Cascade Realty Partners has acquired the office building at the Pike and South Glebe Road – home to Bank of America offices and other commercial space – for $4.8 million in an all-cash deal. It represents the first major purchase for the privately held, Maryland-based developer. “While the office building is fairly small, it sits on a 65,000-square-foot parcel on the corner of two of Arlington’s busiest roads,” said Adam Roffman, one of the partners in the development firm. “For now, we plan to lease the remaining vacancy; over the long term, we think the area provides tremendous opportunities,” Roffman said. ARLINGTON GOVERNMENT DEBUTS NEW MOBILE TOURISM UNIT: The Ar-

The $50,000 vehicle began life as a standard cargo van, and has been wrapped in Arlington-specific branding and outfitted to provide visitor information. Emily Cassell, who heads the Arlington Convention and Visitors Service, says the goal is to connect with the public and point out options they might not have known about. “Most visitors express enthusiasm for the personal assistance they receive,” Cassell said.

Kaley Burlingame of Arlington, a Virginia Tech senior majoring in accounting and finance in the Pamplin College of Business, made her national television debut last month on CNBC, a cable channel focused on business news. She did so well, as one of three panel participants on the Retail Investor Roundup segment of CNBC’s “Closing Bell” on Aug. 31, that she was invited back for a second appearance on Sept. 17. “I frequently watched the hosts, Kelly Evans and Bill Griffeth, so it was really cool to be able to actually talk to them, the people I had been learning from for a couple of years,” she said. Burlingame serves as co-CEO of SEED (Student-managed Endowment for Educational Development), a student-run investor group that manages a multi-milliondollar stock portfolio for the Virginia Tech Foundation. Burlinghame has been involved with SEED since the second semester of her freshman year. Now, as co-CEO, she helps oversee the approximately 30 student members of the group. “It is real-world experience. We are investing real money,” she said. “The endowment fund is our client. It is a real job.” During the three-minute television segment in August, Burlingame explained that SEED does not comprise day-traders, but rather the student investors seek out investment opportunities to hold on to longer.

Virginia Department of Transportation estimates suggest a roundtrip going eastbound during the morning rush hour and westbound during the evening could total $16. County Board members are anticipating a report from their staff in October, followed by a public hearing in November. “Our community is ready to engage,” Hynes said, pledging “a holistic look at the pluses and the minuses” of the proposal. If the state government’s planned timetable holds, the package will go to the Commonwealth Transportation Board for review and, perhaps, approval by the end of the year. That might be somewhat ambitious given the need for community input in Arlington and surrounding jurisdictions, Hynes said. “We’ll see where we are in December,” she said.

He reiterated the McAuliffe administration’s position that adding tolls for single-occupant vehicles, while keeping the interstate free for vehicles with two or more passengers, should actually relieve pressure, rather than add congestion, on arterial roadways such as Wilson, Washington and Arlington boulevards. “I know that sounds counterintuitive, [but] you actually end up taking folks off your surface streets,” Donohue said. (Then came a slight hedge: “It’s what we think generally is going to happen,” he said, noting there could always be “unintended impacts.”) State officials anticipate about $10 million per year in toll revenue will be available for local transportation projects after costs of operating the interstate are covered. Those dollars would be funneled

Yorktown Outlasts Jefferson, Now 4-3 DAVE STEINBACHER For the Sun Gazette

The four girls high school volleyball teams in Arlington are off to solid starts this season. In action last week, the Yorktown Padefeated VOLLEYBALL triots the visiting Jefferson Colonials, 3-1, to improve to 4-3 in dual matches. “Our team is very talented, and everyone on the team deserves some shine,” Yorktown coach Sheena Gauer said. Sophomore hitter Cat Vaccaro is having a very strong season for the Patriots. For the season, with 104 kills and 91 digs through last week’s action. In the match against Jefferson, Yorktown won the first, second and fourth games by 25-16, 25-20 and 25-20 scores, losing the third, 28-26. Vaccaro had a number of key kills. “In the fourth game, we went on a real serving spree,” Gauer said. “Rachael Osborne did very well on her serves. We were very focused.” Gauer said Osborne led the defense and Vaccaro the offense. “We picked up the intensity in the fourth,” Gauer said. “This season, we have Continued on Page 21

Balanced Attack Equals Solid Win for Patriots DAVE FACINOLI

It’s back to a .500 record for the Yorktown Patriots (2-2, 1-1), as they led the game and FOOTBALL whole defeated the host Fairfax Rebels, 28-7, Sept. 25 in Liberty Conference football action. Yorktown won the high school game by using a balanced attack on offense, running for 142 yards and passing for 153, as quarterback Stephen Glagola was 15 of 22. Thomas Richardson was the leading rusher with 56 yards and three touchdowns on a pair of four-yard scoring runs and the other from a yard. Matt Paredes scored Yorktown’s other touchdown on a

67-yard second-quarter interception return on a pass that was first batted at the line by Patriots’ defensive lineman Henry Reyes. The Patriots led 14-0 at halftime and 21-0 in the third period. “We needed to win that game,” Yorktown coach Bruce Hanson said. “We can pass the ball pretty well, but we ran the ball well tonight. They weren’t expecting that and we weren’t expecting to do that. The running game worked out.” The Patriots opened the season with a loss, won its second game, then lost its third to South Lakes, after leading 14-0 in the fourth quarter. Against Fairfax, Yorktown’s other offensive contributors were Zane Killgo with 52 yards rushing and a catch for

13 yards; Travis Clark-Winston with 26 yards rushing and three catches for 19; Paredes with six catches for 56 yards; and Drew Maddox with three catches for 30 yards. Richardson had a catch for 16, Stevie Picot one for 19. “We have guys who can catch the ball and we can move the ball through the air pretty well with our passing attack,” Hanson said. Yorktown had multiple contributors on defense. Killgo broke up two passes, Parker Denny one, Paredes and Picot had interceptions, Jonathan Best and Wesley Saulnier had fumble recoveries, and Blake Edwards and Omar Amarchih teamed for a sack. Continued on Page 21

That is the case this fall across Arlington in different sports and in seasons that are still in the early stages. Last week, Washington-Lee High School freshman golfer Jae Song shot a two-day, 36-hole 77-77–154 total to finish sixth in the Liberty Conference Golf Tournament at Herndon Centennial Golf Course. By doing so, Song qualified for next week’s 6A North Region competition. An 18-hole score of 77 is good for any-age high school golfer. Song possesses the potential to have carded lower scores, and expects to do just that in the region tournament. “He has been so consistent all season,” W-L coach Mike Kelly said. “He is an extremely good golfer and he is very mature and is still improving.” Two other young talents who are a thrill to watch are starting sophomore quarterbacks Colton Poythress for the Wakefield High Warriors and DeJuan Ellis for the Bishop O’Connell Knights. Both have speed, can throw the ball OK, have the ability to scramble and drive defenses crazy, and have the maturity to play the positions, perform under pressure and lead their offenses. Poythress is a two-sport standout. As a freshman, he was a starter on Wakefield’s baseball team last spring. Then, during the summer campaign, he was a member and key contributor for the Arlington Senior Babe Ruth 15-under district-champion all-star baseball team as a multi-position player. In girls cross country, keep an eye on Bishop O’Connell freshman Maddie Fleenor. She already has had some noteworthy finishes in a couple of significant meets. O’Connell’s Maggie Flood is another freshman talent. Cat Vaccaro is a hard-hitting sophomore for Yorktown’s volleyball team. There are scads of young talent on the Bishop O’Connell girls and boys soccer teams. Each roster includes seven sophomores. There are six freshmen on the girls squad and two on the boys. There is much young talent to watch right now and for years to come.

about five strokes off of my score.” Song made four birdies and only double bogey. “I didn’t change anything about my swing or putting for the tournament,” Song said. Also for W-L, freshman Max Clegg shot 83-85–168 and senior Jack Doll
