The task force, whose members will be appointed in coming weeks, is slated to evaluate options for the site just north of Columbia Pike, currently home to the Career Center (and Arlington Tech program), Arlington Community High School, the Columbia Pike branch library, Patrick Henry Elementary School and a large surface-parking lot.

Those incoming appointees will have a little more time to accomplish their task than originally proposed, as School Board and County Board members agreed to extend the timeline to next Au-

The Arlington County Board on Nov. 28 was expected to ratify a staff decision awarding a contract of nearly $55 million for construction of the Long Bridge Park aquatics center and fitness facility in Crystal City.

A panel comprised largely of countygovernment staff settled on a bid by Coakley & Williams Construction, one of four finalists for the long-stalled and downsized project.

County Manager Mark Schwartz said he anticipated the community would be “very pleased, possibly amazed,” with the design.

The four finalist designs were evaluated based on construction and operating costs, plus long-term durability of the proposed product.

The selected design is “the best value and quality” for what the county government can spend, Schwartz said.

Construction is slated to start in the middle of next year, with the facility open by 2021.

The four finalists were announced in October, and in a break from past tradition, there has not been a lengthy, public process to whittle down the options. Using a “design-build” process – new to the Arlington government – will minimize

Task Force Is on the Horizon to Mull Career Center Parcel SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington School Board members have adopted the “charge” (parameters) for a working group that will consider future uses for the Arlington Career Center before reporting back with recommendations next summer.

“There was a lot of work involved in getting to that,” School Board chairman Barbara Kanninen said after a brief discussion of the final proposal at the Nov. 14 School Board meeting. County Board members are slated to ratify the plan by the end of the month.

Christmas-Tree Sales Off and Running in County Winter’s chill was in the air, WASHFM’s all-holiday-music-all-the-time was on the airwaves and members of the Wakefield High School boys and girls basketball teams were on hand as an 18wheeler squeezed through neighborhood streets promptly at 7 a.m. on Nov. 24 to unload 250 Christmas trees set for seasonal sale by Clarendon United Methodist Church.

With its 200 trees selling out in just a week last year, the church ordered 250 from a farm in Pennsylvania as its 2017 supply. Proceeds from the sale will support the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN) and Rise Against Hunger.

Members of the basketball teams braved nippy conditions to lend a hand with unloading. “We ply them with doughnuts and cocoa,” noted Karen Darner, a parishioner who helped organize the event.

The Nov. 24 unloading, in preparations for sales that were to begin a day later, was just one of many similar events across Arlington, as community groups continued their tradition of selling Christmas trees, wreaths, ornaments and the like.

Among them: • The Optimist Club of Arlington on Nov. 21 took possession of hundreds of trees as part of its annual sale, which has taken place on the parking lot at the intersection of Lee Highway and North Glebe

Road since 1946.

Volunteers from Offender Aid and Restoration helped the Optimists with the unloading on what was a chilly but sunny morning.

Through the years, the Optimist tree sale has been a constant, but the financial institutions that occupied the strategic location have changed: What began as the Bank of Arlington later became First American and Wachovia, and is now Wells Fargo.

In 2013, it appeared as if the club would have to move its venue, but fate intervened, and Optimists gained continued access.

Proceeds from the sales benefit Optimist efforts for youth at the local, national and international levels.

• The South Arlington Lions Club, which lost its longtime sales location at South George Mason Drive and Colum-

bia Pike to redevelopment, has decamped to American Legion Post 139 on Washington Blvd.

Sales started Nov. 24, with proceeds benefiting charitable initiatives of the Lions Club.

Politics

School Board Urged to Curb Its Enthusiasm

Lobbyist: Election Results Were Positive, But No Sense in Making Enemies Political winds statewide may be tacking leftward, but Arlington school leaders should resist GENERAL the temptation press for an ASSEMBLY tooverly ambitious, aggressively progressive agenda for the 2018 General Assembly session.

That was the advice – paraphrased and stripped down to its basics – of the School Board’s longtime legislative voice in Richmond.

Lilla Wise, a contract employee who handles lobbying for Arlington and several other school districts during winter legislative sessions, warned School Board members on Nov. 14 that poking the tiger – angering legislators on both sides of the aisle, but particularly Republicans – could come back to haunt local leaders with further handcuffs being placed on local governments.

“A lot of things that we [in Arlington] have as policies and that we would do are not things that would necessarily be all that popular with the rest of the commonwealth,” Wise said at a School Board briefing.

“We don’t even want to open those Pandora’s boxes,” she advised.

Among those who largely agreed with the don’t-poke-the-tiger principle was School Board member Tannia Talento, who said localities should have power to run school districts largely the way they feel will benefit their students the most – and in ways that could different significantly from one corridor of the commonwealth to another.

“Our policies don’t necessarily align with the rest of Virginia,” Talento said.

“It’s just such a different culture.”

As part of that live-and-let-live view,

the draft legislative-priorities package being considered for adoption by the Arlington School Board does not include, as it has in the past, a blanket statement of support for the policy positions of the Virginia School Boards Association. Even though the Arlington school system is a dues-paying member of the organization, not all of the policies adopted by it align with the county’s views, Arlington School Board members said.

Under Virginia’s governance rules – known collectively and colloquially as the Dillon Rule – localities have almost no inherent powers as those in many other states do. Most local-government authority in Virginia comes from the General Assembly, which can both provide more autonomy or, when the mood strikes, take it away.

For an example, Arlington school leaders need look no further back than the 2017 legislative session. After Arlington County Board members in December 2016 enacted new restrictions on towing companies in the county, the General Assembly responded not only by overturning those regulations, but by slapping further limits on the power not just of Arlington but all Northern Virginia jurisdictions on towing-related issues.

(Arlington’s Democratic County Board members were quick to castigate downstate Republicans for that measure, but it was in fact signed into law by the Democratic governor, Terry McAuliffe, and had at least tacit backing of some of Arlington’s all-Democratic legislative delegation.)

One example of how Virginia school systems are limited in their autonomy is the state requirement that local districts start classes each year after Labor Day, owing at least in part to the desire of tourism businesses to have students available to work through the end-of-summer holi-

True to his word, Del. Patrick Hope has introduced legislation both to extend Arlington’s ability to collect a surtax on hotel stays to pay for tourism promotion, and to remove the sunset clause that has given state lawmakers the whip hand over the county government on the matter for decades.

The measure, which allows Arlington to tack on a 0.25-percent tax to hotel bills (raising about $1 million a year for tourism-development initiatives), is set to expire next July unless it is extended by the legislature.

In 2011, lawmakers killed Arlington’s ability to impose the tax, but it was resurrected in 2016 with a two-year sunset provision attached.

Because the legislation applies exclusively to one locality, it will need supermajorities of two-thirds in each house to win passage. Should the effort to remove the surtax not garner a sufficient number of votes, Arlington officials could potentially offer to keep the sunset provision in place for a number of years as a compromise.

Removal of the sunset provision has

day. It’s long been known as the “Kings Dominion Rule,” although management of that theme park has for years not had a position on the matter.

Under the rule, unless school systems receive a waiver from the state government, classes must start after the Labor Day holiday. While efforts to rescind the restriction have passed the House of Delegates in recent years, they have been bottled up in the state Senate.

Today, the restriction is akin to Swiss cheese, with holes throughout. Most downstate districts already have been granted waivers, due largely to the number of days lost over the course of a school year for inclement weather. And Fairfax County Public Schools, which apparently adopted the strategy of closing classrooms any time wintry weather was even a possibility with an eye to winning a waiver, was given one for the 2018-19 school year.

Arlington, along with Alexandria and Falls Church, are among school districts statewide that must still abide by the re-

striction.

“It is something we would love to have flexibility on,” School Board Chairman Barbara Kanninen said, although she predicted it might be a long-shot in Richmond.

Wise told School Board members there’s no question that the massive victories by Democratic candidates in House of Delegates races on Nov. 7 are sure to impact the atmosphere in Richmond, even if that party doesn’t win control of the body.

“We’ve got a lot of new people, and most of them are very interested in education,” she said.

Arlington School Board members are slated to adopt their 2018 legislative package in coming weeks. The General Assembly is slated to go into session in mid-January for approximately 60 days.

Arlington’s legislative delegation – three state senators and four delegates – is unchanged from the 2017 session, as the four delegates won re-election and the senators were not on the ballot.

the support of the Arlington County Board and Arlington Chamber of Commerce. State Sen. Janet Howell (D-32nd) is expected to patron legislation similar to Hope’s in the upper chamber.

The 0.25-percent surtax is in addition to the 5-percent sales tax on hotel stays.

County Board to Meet with Legislators: Arlington County Board members will meet with the community’s legislative delegation in a work session on Thursday, Nov. 30 at 1 p.m. at the county-government headquarters, 2100 Clarendon Blvd.

Board members will detail their proposed legislative priorities for the 2018 General Assembly session, and likely will receive feedback from the three state senators and four delegates on what is feasible and what isn’t in Richmond.

The meeting is open to the public, but no testimony will be taken. Legislators will hold a public hearing as the upcoming session draws near.

The legislative delegation will hold a public hearing closer to the mid-January start of the 60-day General Assembly session.

Highs & Lows THUMBS UP: To the arrival, on Dec. 4, of the rush-hour “dynamic tolling” on Interstate 66 between the Capital Beltway and Rosslyn, a cornerstone of the state government’s plan to raise funds for transportation in the corridor.

There are reasons to both love and hate the arrival of this potentially major change in the region’s commuting patterns, but, as with so many things in life, the waiting game has gotten boring – it’s time to flip the switch, start the effort and see what materializes.

The biggest potential impact for the local community is the prospect of cut-through traffic in neighborhoods. Traffic planners say that’s unlikely to happen, but (and god love ’em, as Joe Biden

would say) their forecasts of past behavior changes with major projects have not always jibed with what transpired. We’ll just have to wait and see.

THUMBS UP: To some wise counsel provided to the Arlington School Board by (appropriately enough) Lilla Wise, the board’s legislative liaison to the General Assembly.

At a briefing with School Board members earlier in the month, Wise – and we’re paraphrasing here – urged local school leaders not to let the Democratic victories in the Nov. 7 General Assembly races go to their heads.

A larger Democratic presence in the House of Delegates is assured, and heck, the party may even end

up with control. That’d be good news for Arlington’s elected leaders, but pushing too hard on some issues would still cause backlash among Republicans and Democrats downstate.

“We don’t even want to open those Pandora’s boxes,” Wise advised.

As always, the best advice for local Democratic leaders vis-a-vis the General Assembly is to make friends where they can, including with Republicans on issues where there is mutual agreement; not to be antagonistic; not to do stupid things (they get noticed by the powers-that-be in Richmond); and to try and play well with others.

Good advice for kindergartners, equally good advice for local-government leaders.

Housing Preservation Will Help Students

Editor: It is important that the Arlington government adopt housing-conservation districts to preserve affordable housing throughout the county.

When those of lower socio-economic status are forced out of the 12 identified corridors of Arlington, they are forced into poorer pockets outside Arlington.

This means that even less attention and resources are dedicated to individuals in these pockets (specifically students). Classes become more overcrowded and teachers already overworked are given more to do.

Maybe, if some students are lucky, they are bussed every morning to a better school.

But that’s just a Band-Aid solution to the problem. It doesn’t address the roots of the issue, and still leaves the large majority of students with no help.

These pockets of poorer individuals oftentimes also become “hot spots” with relatively high crime rates. This is because, when youth are not provided with a proper education, they are much less likely to stay in school. And when they don’t stay in school, they become significantly more susceptible to engag-

ing in criminal activity. In fact, it has gotten to the point where a lack of education is practically a prerequisite for a life of crime.

So, keep those of lower economic status integrated throughout Arlington.

It will better prompt them on a path towards success, and provide more affluent students with a better sense of understanding and empathy.

Overall, it will stay true to the diverse and loving spirit that Arlington is all about.

‘Complete Streets’ Effort a Danger to Neighborhoods Editor: Arlington has embarked on a transportation vision of providing a safe environment for all travel modes, also known as the Complete Streets Program. Today I’m sharing a story of how this program has played out in one Arlington neighborhood, Aurora Highlands.

The two primary goals of this program are to move more people without more traffic and to protect single-family neighborhoods. The reality is much bleaker. It is not difficult to imagine how removing two lanes of traffic on a fourlane arterial road could really jam up your neighborhood.

I live on a “minor neighborhood

street,” in which the distinctive feature of these streets is the nearly exclusive orientation to providing access to residences.

One block away is our “Complete Street,” an aterial street, which primarily provides through travel rather than solely for access to adjacent properties.

According to county government’s street-elements policies, streets should “. . . improve the efficiency of vehicular operation on arterial streets to minimize diversion of traffic onto neighborhood streets.”

But as a result of the Complete Streets project, we have over 1,300 commuters a day cutting through our neigh-

borhood.

The county government has been less than transparent, so we hired a certified traffic-data-collection firm to conduct traffic counts on Nov. 1 and 2. The counts were 1,347 and 1,369 respectively. This is a 160-percent increase in the number of vehicles based on the most recent government traffic data.

The South Eads Complete Street project has been a complete failure for our neighborhood, and despite our continual pleas for help for nearly a year to protect our single-family neighborhood, we have had no relief.

Arlington Per-Student Costs Again Top Area Counterparts SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington Public Schools is maintaining its position as the costliest school district, on a per-student basis, in the D.C. suburbs, according to new data.

The year-over-year increase from 2016-17 also puts Arlington per-student spending at an all-time high, is 6.1 percent above the next highest school system on the list and a whopping 72 percent above the school district that spends the least per student.

The Washington Area Boards of Education (WABE), which annually analyzes the budgets of local school districts to provide as close to an apples-to-apples comparison as possible, puts Arlington’s per-student spending at $19,340 for the 2017-18 school year, up 2 percent from a year before and above the all-time record of $19,040 recorded in 2014-15.

Next highest, as traditionally has been the case, is the school system in neighboring Falls Church, where the per-student cost of $18,219 was down 1.1 percent from a year before.

Among other school districts: Alexandria will spend $17,099 per student this school year, up 0.5 percent: Montgomery County, $16,030, up 0.3 percent; Fairfax County, $14,767, up 2.3 percent; Prince George’s County, $13,816, down 0.4 percent; Loudoun County, $13,688, up 4.3 percent; Manassas City, $12,846, down 2 percent; Manassas Park City, $11,242, up 3.3 percent; and Prince William County, $11,222, up 2.2 percent.

(The District of Columbia does not provide data for evaluation by the staff from Fairfax County Public Schools,

which compiles the annual report.)

The WABE report pegs total Arlington school spending for the current fiscal year at $712.2 million, counting operating and construction funds, debt service, food service, summer school and adult-education programs.

As he does each year, Arlington County Taxpayers Association president Tim Wise has zeroed in on the disparity between Arlington’s per-student spending and that in Fairfax County Public Schools.

If Arlington reduced its per-student spending to Fairfax’s level, the school system would save $117 million, Wise said.

“What are Arlington County taxpayers getting in return for that $117 million?” he asked.

The 2008 recession and the retirement of several incumbent somewhat freespending School Board members and Superintendent Robert Smith led, for a time, to per-student spending falling below pre-recession levels. But that trend has reversed itself.

County school officials over the years have responded to complaints by saying that the higher per-student costs allow for better employee compensation, smaller class sizes and additional programming for students.

(And it’s not as if high per-student spending is a new phenomenon: The Northern Virginia Sun way back in December 1959 reported that Arlington that year topped all jurisdictions statewide.)

John Milliken Lauded as a Paragon of Civic Virtue SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

John Milliken’s Democratic Party bona-fides are secure – as secure as his stature as a civic leader who is simultaneously an elder statesman and an still-vigorous participant.

And yet, the former Arlington County Board member felt that the audience at the 2017 William T. Newman Jr. Spirit of Community Awards program should be let in on a little secret about one of his earliest experiences in the political arena.

In 1960, with his family just arrived in Arlington, the 14-year-old Milliken was living in the Buckingham neighborhood, attending Washington-Lee High School and was just getting active in politics.

The unusual twist?

“I was for Nixon rather than Kennedy,” Milliken acknowledged, joking that it was his most notorious youthful indiscretion.

The crowd at the Nov. 9 gathering – which, like Arlington in general, tended to veer Democratic in its leanings – forgave him, saluting Milliken with two standing ovations as he received the Arlington Community Foundation’s annual honor.

The luncheon ceremony was held at the Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel, where Milliken became the most recent award recipient and the latest in a line that stretches back to Joan Cooper in 1993.

“It’s hard M i l l i ke n to know quite has retired afwhat to say. I ter a lengthy can’t begin to career with tell you how the Venable appreciative law firm. But I am,” said there has Milliken, been no lull in an attorney his day-planwho served ner: Milliken as Virginia’s was asked by secretary of the County transporta- Award recipient John Milliken, left, is shown with Arlington Board to tion in the Circuit Court Chief Judge William Newman Jr. and former chair a study Wilder ad- state Sen.

two on the County Board. Newman joked that, had they still been on the five-member panel, “we would have had the quorum to pass anything we wanted to.”)

Milliken’s family left Arlington not terribly long after its arrival for a stint in Europe, then returned. Except for college and law school, John Milliken has been a resident ever since.

Why stay? “It was the people I met and got to know,” Milliken said. “Those relationship were, and are, very special.”

Arlington benefits from an inclusive governance structure that includes staggered terms for elected office-holders, giving voters “an outlet [for frustration] every single year,” Milliken said. “It also means changes are incremental.”

Jeanne Broyhill, who chairs the Arlington Community Foundation board, said the annual event not only paid tribute to Milliken (“one of Arlington’s most outstanding leaders”) but is a chance for those in the civic-engagement arena to enjoy each other’s company.

“Look around you and you’ll see a remarkable gathering of Arlington’s best and brightest and most committed,” she said.

Among those who have earned the Spirit of Community Award in past years: Elizabeth Campbell, Walter Tejada, Judy Connally, Rich Doud, Meg Tuccillo, Jonathan Kinney, Lola Reinsch and the duo of John Andelin and Ginger Geoffrey.

Consensus Elusive on Civic Federation Reorganization Plan SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

With a century of its own traditions behind it, perhaps it’s no surprise that the road to a reorganization of the legal structure of the Arlington County Civic Federation was unlikely to be a quick or seamless activity.

Divisions among membership were on view Nov. 14, when details of a proposed revamping of the organization was discussed in what at times reached passionate levels.

“We have a 102-year history of things being done by the membership,” said Sarah Shortall, the Civic Federation’s treasurer, who complained that changes being proposed “will unfairly push the organization in a certain direction.”

“It moves much decision-making away from the membership and invests it in the board,” she said of the proposed revisions.

But, countered an attorney providing guidance and helping to craft new governance language, the net effect of proposed changes will not be as revolutionary as might be thought.

“I don’t see why you think your day-today is going to change – I just don’t see it,” said Pantea Stevenson of Bean, Kinney and Korman, who is advising the Civic Federation on a pro-bono basis.

The proposed reorganization would result in the Civic Federation’s incorpo-

ration as a non-stock organization under Virginia law, while also retaining its taxexempt status with the IRS. One of the main reasons for going the incorporation route is to protect individuals from potential lawsuits related to their volunteer efforts with the federation.

“There’s always the potential for liability,” Stevenson said. “When you form an entity, the liability ends at the entity.”

(The Civic Federation’s leadership already has taken one step to protect its leadership, by purchasing officers-and-directors insurance.)

Under the proposal discussed at the Nov. 14 meeting, the Civic Federation’s executive committee would morph into a board of directors, which would have the responsibility (currently delegated to the membership or member organizations) of approving delegates and alternates and selecting those who will occupy leadership posts.

The proposed bylaws also would require a quorum of at least 10 percent of all eligible voting members to hold a meeting, and would impose more stringent record-keeping and notice requirements than currently are the case.

The changes made some queasy, and others uneasy. A top-down approach, even one more in theory than in practice, “isn’t who we are,” said Jackie Snelling, who has served in numerous leadership roles with the Civic Federation.

After the discussion, Civic Federation

president Duke Banks asked for an advisory show of hands on whether delegates and alternates were happy with the direction the process was moving. The ayes and nays were split exactly down the middle.

“That gives us a sense of how much we have to work on this,” said Banks. “It is a challenge.”

The organizational-structure changes require a two-thirds voting majority to be implemented. Banks said he thinks more work can result in a winning formula.

“We can work out this thing,” he said.

If the incorporation effort ultimately wins support of membership, the cost is expected to be about $2,400, which will

come from the Civic Federation’s reserve balance of about $20,000.

Founded in 1915 by six civic associations, the Civic Federation today numbers about 80 organizations in its ranks. Each member organization is permitted to send up to four voting delegates and four alternates to meetings.

The Civic Federation is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)4 organization, similar to the better-known 501(c)3 but one where donors can’t take tax deductions for contributions.

Whipple Wins Kudos from County Bar Foundation Mary Margaret Whipple, whose civicleadership career has included stops on the Arlington School Board and County Board and a lengthy tenure in the Virginia State Senate, was honored Nov. 14 with the Arlington Bar Foundation’s 2017 William L. Winston Award.

“I consider Mary Margaret Whipple to be one of the most transformative figures in the modern history of Arlington,” said longtime Clerk of the Circuit Court David Bell during the ceremony, held at Washington Golf & Country Club.

“Our nation needs more politicians like Mary Margaret Whipple to provide leadership in the way campaigns should be conducted,” Bell said.

In her remarks, Whipple said she was honored to be saluted by Arlington’s legal community.

“You all do us proud by conducting your business in such a professional way that you are virtually taken for granted,” she told those assembled. “But I want to say that you are not taken for granted by me. What you do is vitally important.”

After years of civic activism, Whipple was tapped for the School Board (then an appointed position) in the 1970s.

After an unsuccessful bid for County Board in 1979, Whipple won a seat in 1986 and was re-elected in 1990 and 1994.

Being an elected or appointed official in Arlington means that experts in specific subject matter may be sitting in the audi-

ence at a board meeting or living across the street.

Given the expertise in the community, “I also learned a long time ago not to pretend I knew something I wasn’t sure about,” noted Whipple, who recalled once getting a call at home from the legendary U.S. Navy Adm. Hyman Rickover, a constituent, who offered some advice on a pressing matter.

In 1995, Whipple won election to succeed Edward Holland representing the 31st Senate District, where she served through 2011 and became the first woman to hold a leadership post in the 400-year history of the General Assembly as chair of the Senate Rules Committee and Senate Democratic Caucus.

Her colleague, state Sen. Janet Howell (D-32nd), said Whipple was a powerhouse to be reckoned with in Richmond, but was one who would reach across the aisle for the common good when the opportunity presented itself.

“Everyone respected Mary Margaret – Democrats and Republicans alike. Her advice and counsel was sought by everyone,” Howell said. “Mary Margaret was the one who could find compromise if compromise was possible.”

It was in the Senate that Whipple helped secure establishment of the public-defender office for Arlington and Falls Church – an issue that had been of key importance to the Arlington County Bar

Association.

The arrival in January 1996 of Whipple and Alexandria Mayor Patsy Ticer to the upper house of the legislature increased female membership in that body to six. But, Howell said, it could be rough going.

“Many male legislators in those days simply had no idea how to work with women as equals,” she said. “It wasn’t that they were hostile. They just didn’t know.”

(It didn’t help that many of the female legislators were from Northern Virginia, considered enemy territory by senior Democrats and Republicans from downstate.)

Another strike against Whipple (and

Ticer) in their early days was that they came from backgrounds in local governance.

“For reasons I have never understood, many legislators disdain local government. They love to actively ignore and ridicule local officials and issues,” Howell said.

The Bar Foundation’s award was established in 1990 to honor and recognize members of the Northern Virginia community for long-standing public service, promotion of democratic ideals and advancement of the rule of law. It is named in honor of William Winston, who served both in the General Assembly and as a judge of the Circuit Court.

“I knew and admired Judge Winston and held him in great regard and esteem, so I feel very humble to receive an award named for him,” Whipple said.

Winston (1932-2007) was the first recipient of the award. Additional recipients have included judges William Newman Jr., Thomas Monroe, Paul Sheridan and Joanne Alper; legislators Mary Marshall, Ed Holland and Karen Darner; community activists Lillian Brown and John Robinson; and legal-profession leaders Manny Capsalis and Griffin Garnett.

Va. Transportation Chief Sad Over Nixing of Pike Streetcar BRIAN TROMPETER and SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writers

Regrets? He’s had a few. And one of them relates to Arlington.

As he prepares to wrap up a four-year tenure as Virginia’s secretary of transportation, Aubrey Layne said the cancellation of the Columbia Pike streetcar project ranks as one of the major disappointments of his tenure.

The project, which had the strong support of state transportation officials, died when two members of the Arlington County Board (Jay Fisette and Mary Hynes) in 2014 switched sides and voted to kill it. Their defections took place shortly after John Vihstadt won a general-election County Board victory in what had been seen, in part, as a referendum on the streetcar project.

The decision by Fisette and Hynes gave the “no” side on the streetcar project four votes on the County Board, as both Vihstadt and Libby Garvey were critics of the project. Of those then on the board, only Walter Tejada remained a backer of the proposal.

(Tejada and Hynes left the board at the end of 2015, succeeded by Christian Dorsey and Katie Cristol, and Fisette is departing at the end of December, to be succeeded by Erik Gutshall. Since the 2014 decision, board members have not had the stomach to revisit the action, but theoretically could come back to it.)

The five-mile streetcar project, which would have connected the Pentagon City area with Skyline in Fairfax County, was projected to cost about $300 million.

Supporters backed it as much for its economic-development potential as for its transportation value, since the project was unlikely to either take many private vehicles off the road or provide faster service than driving or Metrobus could provide.

The switch of Fisette and Hynes angered both state leaders and Fairfax County officials. The latter group was banking on the streetcar to provide development opportunities in the Baileys Crossroads area, with Arlington taxpayers picking up much of the cost.

Layne, who was appointed Virginia transportation secretary by Gov. McAuliffe in early 2014, will stay in state government under his successor; Gov.-elect Ralph Northam has announced plans for Layne to become secretary of finance in his administration.

(For the record, Layne’s other major regret during his tenure leading Virginia’s transportation agency was a lack of progress in expanding light-rail service in the Hampton Roads area.)

The final weeks of Layne’s tenure will coincide with the start, on Dec. 4, of “dynamic tolling” on the stretch of Interstate 66 between the Capital Beltway in Fairfax County and Route 29 in Rosslyn, designed to allow single-occupant drivers to use the

roadway – for a fee – during rush hour.

State leaders are banking on the toll revenue to help fund t ra n s p o r t a tion improvements in the I-66 corridor.

Electronic signs at entry points will show the price for up to three Aubrey Layne has served as destinations; secretary of transportation in the McAuliffe administra- tolls will vary depending tion. on traffic demand, but drivers will pay the price indicated for their destination when they enter the highway, and not be surprised by a change in the cost along the way.

Tolling for single-occupant vehicles will be in place from 5:30 to 9:30 a.m. eastbound and from 3 to 7 p.m. westbound on weekdays.

Vehicles with two or more passengers will not need to pay tolls, and the lanes will remain free to all users during offHBM AD Flat News 11-27-2017.pdf 1 peak periods, including weekends.

N.Va. Homes Market Showing Stability, Strength

“Stable and solid” is how the CEO of the Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR) describes the most recent round of home-sales figures, which showed both transactions and prices rising across the region.

“We can’t predict the future, but those are great trends for now,” Ryan Conrad said of the state of the Northern Virginia market, which totaled $932 million in sales volume during October, up 10.5 percent from a year before.

Total home sales rose 7.3 percent to 1,652, while the average sales price grew 3 percent to $564,356, according to figures reported by NVAR and RealEstate

EHO

PUBLISHER’S NOTICE

We are pledged to the letter and spirit of Virginia’s policy for achieving equal housing opportunity throughout the Commonwealth. We encourage and support advertising and marketing programs in which there are no barriers to obtaining housing because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, familial status or handicap.

All real estate advertised herein is subject to Virginia’s fair housing law which makes it illegal to advertise “any preference, limitation, or discrimination because of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, familial status or handicap or intention to make any such preference, limitation, or discrimination.”

This newspaper will not knowingly accept advertising for real estate that violates the fair housing law.

Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised in this newspaper are available on an equal opportunity basis. For more information or to file a housing complaint call the Virginia Fair Housing Office at (804) 367-9753. Email: fairhousing@dpor. virginia.gov. Web site: www.fairhousing.vipnet.org

Business Intelligence, based on data from Bright MLS. All three segments of the market – single-family, attached and condominiums – posted increases in average prices, with condos (up 5.9 percent) outperforming the other two legs.

(Figures represent transactions in Arlington and Fairfax counties and the cities of Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls Church.)

The October market was brisk, said Gary Lange, an agent with Weichert, Realtors in Vienna and an NVAR board member.

“There seemed to be lots of activity from people who’ve been waiting on the

sidelines for the right time,” Lange said.

“Properties that show well, have been updated and are priced right are still going off the market quickly.”

And the boomlet may continue: In October, 645 new contracts were written across the area, up 21 percent from a year before. Sellers “remain bullish on prices,” Lange noted, despite the prospect of rising mortgage-interest rates.

That bullishness also has been seen

by Brian Block of Re/Max Allegiance in Alexandria. “Most sellers seem willing to wait for their price,” he said, although those in specific circumstances – needing to move due to a job transfer or family

situation – are proving more flexible.

With 4,039 active listings on the market at the end of October, inventory was down about 9 percent from a year before, giving a sense of urgency to prospective buyers who aren’t willing to wait for bargains to materialize.

Homes that went to closing in October spent an average of 44 days between listing and ratified contract, an improvement from the 52 days required a year before.

Sellers garnered 97.4 percent of original listing price, up from 96.8 percent.

Figures represent most, but not all, sales during the period. All figures are preliminary, and are subject to revision.

An increase in both total transactions and median sales prices across the commonwealth pushed Virginia’s October sales volume to just under $3.2 billion, an increase of 9.8 percent from a year before.

“The boost in October sales is a clear indicator that buyer urgency hasn’t cooled,” said Jay Mitchell, incoming president of the Virginia Realtors trade group.

“With [interest] rates still low, buyers are eager to move quickly as homes come onto the market.”

A total of 9,697 properties went to closing across Virginia in October, according to figures released Nov. 22. That’s up 7.4 percent from a year before.

Statewide, the median sales price of $269,900 for all types of homes was up 2.6 percent from $263,000 a year before.

In fact, in a rare (if not unprecedented) feat, the Virginia real estate market saw higher median sales prices in October than in September.

Add up the sales and prices, and the overall sales volume of $3.191 billion was up from $2.907 billion a year before. For the first 10 months of the year, total sales volume was up 8.5 percent to $35.226 billion.

For homes that went to closing in October, the statewide average was 60 days between listing and ratified sales contract, an improvement from 65 days in October

2016.

The average interest rate for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage rose in October to 3.9 percent, according to Freddie Mac, but remains at the low end of historic norms.

October’s figures were a brightening of conditions for the Virginia real-estate industry, which had seen a flat third quarter for sales, due in part to a dearth of inventory.

A total of 33,432 properties went to closing in the July-August-September period, down 0.2 percent from the 33,493 properties changing hands in the third quarter of 2016.

At Upton Hill, Battle Joined Over Invasive Species SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The water park is awaiting the arrival of next summer. The miniature-golf course is closed for the season. No balls are being smacked in the batting cages.

From the outside, it may seem like Upton Hill Regional Park is dormant. But plans are afoot for battle.

With a brand-new park manager and relatively new head of maintenance, the 27-acre facility just south of Wilson Boulevard is preparing for a renewed war this winter against invasive species – those plants that crowd out natives and can threaten trees, grasses, ferns and other natural life in the park’s ecoystem.

The goal is “to subdue the invasives to the point that native plants can return,” said Paul Gilbert, executive director of the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NOVA Parks).

Much work already has been done, evidenced by a swath of land where English ivy – that scourge of trees across the region – has been cleared out. More work awaits.

“It’s not bad, but there are definitely some areas we have to address. It’s just a matter of chiseling away at it,” said Jeff Hill, who since May has been head of maintenance at the park.

Hill, who earned a degree in his field from George Mason University, previ-

ously held posts at Meadowlark Botanical Gardens (a NOVA Parks facility) in Vienna and Green Spring Gardens (part of the Fairfax park system) in the Alexandria area.

Though on site for less than a year, Hill is a relative Upton Hill veteran compared to Brad Jackson, who at the time of a pre-Thanksgiving interview had been park manager for just three weeks. He previously served as assistant manager at Pohick Bay Regional Park, a sprawling space in Lorton, and before that had served at Fountainhead Regional Park in Fairfax Station.

With Hill and Jackson settled in, “we have the dream team to manage this park,” Gilbert said.

“We’re able to hire the best talent, folks [who] know all the tricks of the trade,” he said. “Jeff is a super plant expert.”

Invasive species go (mostly) dormant in winter months, giving the staff time to plot efforts at eradicating them to the extent possible. Problems areas include portions of the park teeming with Japanese stiltgrass, morning glory and thistle.

But English ivy is the poster child of invasive species. Brought into the region decades ago by homeowners and at first prized for its decorative value, the flowering plant soon proved rapacious. It can grow on trees or on the ground; will proliferate at any angle, even upside down; and will strangle trees in little time.

Upton Hill Regional Park manager Brad Jackson, NOVA Parks executive director Paul Gilbert and Upton Hill head of maintenance Jeff Hill work to remove invasive plants at the park.

(Looking at some of the residential parcels adjacent to Upton Hill, which straddles the Arlington-Fairfax border, it was easy to spot homes where the issue had not been addressed – English ivy could be seen all the way to the top of some large trees.)

Manual labor is “the tried and true way” to remove English ivy, Hill said.

“We try to do the pulling first,” Hill said as he, Jackson and Gilbert donned gloves and took their turns ripping away

and the undergrowth.

The remains are then trashed and removed from the site, but the battle is never really over – small strands of ivy already are beginning to creep up the sides of some of the trees where it had been removed.

It’s an uneasy détente.

“You’re never going to remove all the invasives,” Gilbert said. The best that can be hoped for is to “give the natives a helping hand.”

Metro Area Is #15 Priciest Across Nation The Washington metropolitan area ranked 15th highest in the nation in the median sales price of existing singlefamily homes in the third quarter, according to new data.

The region’s year-over-year rate of growth – 3.8 percent – was well below the national average of 5.7 percent, but that may be a blessing in disguise in keeping the local market from overheating as it did a decade ago.

With a median sales price of $408,500 in the third quarter, the D.C. area’s median sales price was well above the national average of $254,000, according to figures reported by the National Association of Realtors.

Single-family-home prices last quarter increased in 92 percent of measured metro markets, with 162 out of 177 showing price gains in the third quarter compared with the third quarter of 2016. That’s an improvement from the second quarter, when 87 percent or markets showed year-over-year growth.

Nineteen metro areas in the third quarter (11 percent) experienced double-digit increases, down from 23 areas in the second quarter (13 percent).

The price appreciation comes at a cost, as uptick in the national family median income ($71,775) in the third quarter did little to stave off continued weakness in affordability from the combination of higher mortgage rates and home prices.

“Affordability pressures are frustratingly occurring in places where jobs are plentiful and incomes are rising,” said Lawrence Yun, chief economist of the National Association of Realtors. “Without a significant boost in new and existing inventory to alleviate price growth, job creation could slow in high-cost areas in upcoming years if residents begin ‘exiling’ to more affordable parts of the country.”

The five most expensive housing markets in the third quarter were the San Jose, Calif., metro area, where the median existing single-family price was $1,165,000; San Francisco, $900,000; Anaheim-Santa Ana, Calif., $790,000; urban Honolulu, $760,200; and San Diego, $607,000.

The five lowest-cost metro areas in the third quarter were Decatur, Ill., $86,300; Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio, $88,900; Cumberland, Md., $96,400; Wichita Falls, Texas, $113,800; and Elmira, N.Y., $117,300.

Inventory Issues Put Crimp in 3Q Va. Home Sales A dearth of inventory in many parts of the commonwealth led Virginia’s thirdquarter home sales to be slightly lower than a year before, and that same inventory pressure also may have had a hand in median sales pushing prices higher.

A total of 33,432 properties went to closing in the July-August-September period, down 0.2 percent from the 33,493 properties changing hands in the third quarter of 2016, according to figures reported Oct. 23 by the Virginia Realtors trade organization.

“The prolonged shortage of inventory in Virginia’s market is clear. Buyers are

willing to pay more and close faster, but there simply aren’t enough houses to satisfy their demand,” state Realtors’ president Claire Forcier-Rowe said.

July and August posted year-over-year increases, but September represented a pullback. A limited inventory is “creating more challenge for buyers trying to enter the market,” the Realtors group said in a statement.

Despite the relatively flat quarter statewide, home sales were a decided mixed bag in various corners of the state: • Increases were reported in Eastern Virginia (up 19.4 percent to 714), South-

west Virginia (6 percent to 544), Central Virginia (3.4 percent to 7,392), West Central Virginia (0.3 percent to 2,707) and Hampton Roads (0.3 percent to 7,449).

• Declines were reported in the Shenandoah Valley (down 5.4 percent to 1,685), Northern Virginia (2.9 percent to 12,284) and Southside Virginia (2.6 percent to 644).

While down slightly compared to the third quarter of 2016, the sales figures were higher than the same period in both 2015 and 2014.

The median sales price of $280,000 for all properties that went to closing during

The state agency will have 120,000 tons of salt, 250,000 gallons of brine and 25,000 tons of sand on hand to address snow and ice on 13,585 lane-miles across Northern Virginia, ranging from interstate highways to local subdivisions.

According to VDOT officials, the plan for winter 2017-18 is to have crews pretreat critical roads, then begin plowing after 2 inches of snow has fallen. Plowing is prioritized starting with interstates and high-volume roads, then subdivision main roads, then remaining streets and cul-desacs.

The goal is to have at least one passable lane in neighborhoods within 24 hours when up to 4 inches of snow has fallen and within 48 hours when 4 to 6 inches of snow has fallen. (More than 6 inches and all bets are off, as VDOT says its clearance goal is to have a passable lane in subdivisions sometime “more than 72 hours.”)

VDOT is responsible for handling snow-removal on streets in all Northern Virginia counties except Arlington (which shares responsibility depending on type of road). Cities are responsible for their

The change took effect at the start of November, according to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority.

The new aircraft are configured with a four-passenger first-class cabin, 35-seat business class and a 303-seat economy class.

VDOT’s Northern Virginia snow budget for the coming season is $84.9 million.

The organization operates traveler-assistance programs at the two airports under contract to the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, and is recruiting for its first class of 2018 volunteers.

Travelers Aid volunteers assist passengers with finding emergency accommodations when flights are canceled, secure translation services and provide details on local tourist destinations. Information on volunteer opportunities is available at www.travelersaid.org.

Travelers Aid was founded in 1851 when stagecoach was the most common form of long-distance transportation in the nation. It has served Union Station since 1912, Reagan National since 1947 and Washington Dulles since 1963.

the personification of the Arlington Way of decision-making.

A native of Texas, Whipple met her future husband, Tom, in college. They raised two daughters in Arlington, and the Whipples became key players in local political campaigns, to the point of operating a printing press in their basement.

“It saved us lots of money. It gave our campaigns credibility,” Howell noted.

In her post-political career, Whipple has remained active: She serves as vice chairman of the Virginia Women’s Monument Commission and is board president of the Arlington-based Alliance for Housing Solutions.

Hall’s Hill Tradition Continues

Teeing Off

State Competitions Can Have Lasting Memories State tournaments.

They are the ultimate achievements and competitions in high school athletics, producing a lifetime worth of memories for those who are lucky enough to participate.

Morning Contest Remains Popular

Dave Facinoli

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

How and actually when the Thanksgiving-morning neighborhood tackle football game initially began is debated That start FOOTBALL adatebit.is thought to have been in the late 1940s or early ’50s, after one of the players got a new football and gathered some friends to play catch.

One thing not in question? The deeprooted annual 10 a.m. Hall’s Hill Turkey Bowl pickup contest in Arlington between teams named the Youngins and Old Heads is still going strong, with as much passion as ever.

One team wears gold jerseys, the other maroon. There are referees, a chain crew, an announcer (Frank Price) and music. The score and game clock are kept on the field. A Most Valuable Player for each team is chosen and every player receives a trophy.

Some years there is a preceding women’s game, but that did not occur this fall.

Top: Participants in this year’s neighborhood Hall’s Hill Turkey Bowl gather for a team photo.

Above: Former Washington-Lee High and Pittsburgh Steelers’ player Reggie Harrisson, middle, was honored prior to the contest. Left: Players in the game wore either gold or maroon jerseys. See a slideshow at: www.insidenova. com/sports/arlington.

The girls enjoyed their best season in program history, finishing 24-6 and taking second in district and region tourneys.

The boys went 22-6, losing in the region semifinals.

Both Warriors teams lost key players and top scorers to graduation. So the question for each this season, which begins this week, is do they have the potential to repeat last winter’s accomplishments?

Each head coach answered by saying their teams should get better as the season progresses and other scorers develop.

“We lost 70 percent of our scoring to graduation,” Wakefield girls coach Marcia Richardson said. “By midseason we should be a lot better. We are young and our season is tough. We get right into the fire.”

Wakefield was scheduled to open the season Nov. 28 at W.T. Woodson, then plays at T.C. Williams on Dec. 1.

“These early games will give us a

chance to get our newbies involved,” Richardson said.

The Wakefield girls have five returning players, including starting forwards Jami Tham, Lauryn Freeman and Hannah Foley.

“We will be counting on them a lot,” Richardson said.

Other players back are center Jayela Lopez forward Olivia Abboud, and guard Makyla Loeffel. Trinity Chambers will be an addition from last season’s junior varsity team.

“We have some good players, it’s a matter of getting our rotations down,” Richardson said.

Winning a state crown is the summit of all prizes, of course. More significantly, the biggest thing is that participating in such events should be remembered as and considered a huge privilege, no matter the results.

The vast majority of prep athletes, never get that opportunity, although wishing for such a chance and yearning for those memories they can share for a lifetime. Others compete in multiple state events, sometimes taking the occasions for granted. That should never happen.

This fall, a number of teams and individuals from the Sun Gazette’s coverage areas qualified for state tournaments, with some winning or finishing very high – while others not doing nearly as well.

From Bishop O’Connell High School, first-year cross country runners Max Greczyn (a junior) and freshman Tess Brinkmann were fortunate and talented enough to win and finish second, respectively, in their very first state meets. Each should have the opportunity to run in other state meets, but that’s another thing. There are no guarantees, again another reason not to take state competition for granted.

The Flint Hill School football and girls volleyball teams and the Langley High girls volleyball and golf teams all won state titles. Those teams are expected to return multiple key contributors in 2018, and already are considered state contenders and potentially even favorites to defend those championships.

Matt McClements was a senior on Flint Hill’s football team, attending the school since kindergarten. He had long imagined the possibility of winning a state title some day. Now he has that biggest special memory.

ALL-COUNTY SWIM MEET: The pool at

Wakefield High School was the site of an all-Arlington preseason swimming meet on Nov. 18.

Swimmers from Bishop O’Connell, Wakefield, Washington-Lee and Yorktown participated in the competition.

O’Connell coach Joe Smolinski came up with the idea for the meet.

The 2017-18 high school swimming and diving season begins this month with meets.

and-dirt field. Stacy Turner Jr. was chosen as the MVP for the Youngins and Izaak Spriggs the same for the Old Heads.

As is the case every time the game is played at High View Park, spectators surrounded the field to watch, many leaning against the fencing near a food truck, watching above from Cameron Street.

The Hall’s Hill neighborhood has changed through the years, according to Hamm. Yet the game still continues.

Prior to the 2017 contest, a moment of silence was held in the memory of the late Alfred J. Forman Sr. He used to be a big organizer of the event along with Sherman Anderson, Eugene Bell and Edward Hamm Jr., who was a major sponsor.

One of the game’s most famous players was former Washington-Lee High School great Reggie Harrison, who went on to play on two Super Bowl-championship teams with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Harrison, 66, played in the Hall’s Hill Turkey Bowl until his sophomore year in high school, when he had to play

in the annual Old Oaken Bucket game, also held on Thanksgiving Day between W-L and George Washington High School in Alexandra. He graduated from Washington-Lee in 1969.

Harrison was honored before this year’s Turkey Bowl and autographed one of his Steelers’ jerseys that was won in a raffle.

“This is it,” Harrison said about the Hall’s Hill Turkey Bowl. “All of us from Hall’s Hill started on that field right here, and we had a great time with this.

This is a great community event and is memorable. To honor me is to honor everybody at Hall’s Hill. Mr. Hamm told me not to come back [to Arlington] not as a failure. Wherever I played, I had Hall’s Hill behind me.”

Harrison also played softball games on the High View Park field. By belting long home runs, he told how he twice broke the same upstairs window of a house that’s still on the other side of Cameron Street.

Former Yorktown High School and University of North Carolina star running back Mike Geter was on hand

Thanksgiving morning with his two young sons and coached one of the teams. Geter played in the Turkey Bowl only one year.

“It was a great game, but I couldn’t afford to get hurt, and I almost did that one time I played,” Geter said.

Sydney Allen, a freshman at Towson University, received a $500 Alfred J. Forman Sr. academic scholarship at the game. She attended Glebe Elementary School.

“This is great. I’ll use the money for books,” Allen said.

The torch has been passed to Marvin Stewart, who is now the main organizer of the Turkey Bowl.

“We try to expand it a little more every year to give back to the community and make it more than just a football game,” Stewart said in reference to the scholarship.

One player who is yet to play in the Turkey Bowl, but has watched the game, is Stewart’s son, M.J. Stewart. He has been a standout defensive back for four seasons for the University of North Carolina, and is expected to be chosen in the NFL draft in April.

“I wouldn’t let him play. I didn’t want him to get hurt,” Marvin Stewart said.

The venue for the annual Turkey Bowl has changed or rotated over time.

In the early years, the game was played at Greenbrier Park. Fog Island, now named Lady Bird Johnson Park, along the George Washington Memorial Parkway, was another venue, along with the field at old John M. Langston Elementary School, while Glebe Elementary was used last year when High View Park was being renovated.

Going forward, High View Park will continue as the home site of a deeprooted Thanksgiving morning Turkey Bowl.

Other top returners are senior shooting guard and captain Ben Horsford, senior guard Lukas Hatcher, junior guards Chris Warner and Jared Watkins, senior center Mahmoud Eltaher and junior center Robert Starkey Jr. Horsford has already committed to play Division II college basketball.

“We are a young team and we will be different,” Wakefield boys coach Tony

Bentley said. “We are excited to get going. We have some tough games early so we will learn a lot.”

Wakefield was scheduled to open at home Nov. 28 against defending Class 6 state champion W.T. Woodson, then plays Phelps from Washington, D.C., on Dec. 2 at 1 p.m. at Bishop O’Connell High School. Woodson could be the No. 1 ranked team in the state in some pre-

season polls.

NOTE: Wakefield will host its annual eight-team George Long Holiday Tournament Dec. 26-28. Other teams in the tournament will be Battlefield, Centreville, Chantilly, Langley, Potomac, St. Albans and West Springfield. Wakefield plays three games in a tournament in Utah next week. Washington-Lee is not playing in the tournament this year after

Continued from Page 23 “It’s always been exciting football and a big community thing,” said 70year-old North Cameron Street resident Bernard Hamm, who used to play in the game and later became one of its organizers and sponsors. “Just about every kid in this community has played. It’s a rite of passage. You could not live in this community and not play.”

Many players in the Turkey Bowl were college-football standouts, like Hamm, who played in the Tangerine Bowl for Morgan State, and Ron Deskins, who also played at Morgan State.

“This neighborhood has produced some top-caliber players,” Hamm said.

Steve Bridgett played in the Turkey Bowl from age 13 to 40. He was on hand watching this year.

“You had to play in this game, no matter what, if you lived here,” Bridgett said.

Avis Chatman was on hand watching, as well. She talked about how many people look forward to the game, even if they just come to watch.

Chris Williams was one of the game officials for the 2017 contest. “This is always the place to be each year on this morning,” he said.

The site of the 2017 showdown returned to its longtime regular venue of High View Park, which was being renovated last year. The cozy locale next to a playground is squeezed among houses and nestled between Cameron and Dinwiddie streets in North Arlington.

The Old Heads won this year, 20-12, with the age of players on both teams ranging from the 20s to 50s. And they still played tackle football, on the grass-
