County Regains Judgeship; Will Funding Follow?

Outcome of Budget Talks in Richmond Will Determine If Seat Will Be Filled Soon SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The 17th Circuit Court soon could return to a four-judge body for the first time in six years, if the two houses of the General Assembly can come to terms on

funding the fourth slot.

Gov. Northam has signed legislation increasing from three judges to four the maximum number allocated to the 17th Circuit, which incorporates Arlington and Falls Church. But for those seeking the additional judgeship, that’s only half

the battle – funding for the position currently is caught in the middle of budget negotiations between the state Senate and House of Delegates.

“The funding for a fourth judge is in the House bill, but not in the Senate,” said Del. Patrick Hope (D-47th). “The House

funded the judge – and a bunch of other things – because Medicaid expansion brings in federal revenue that frees up money we can apply elsewhere. The Senate budget doesn’t have expansion, so we Continued on Page 22

Politics

Corey Stewart Makes Case to Arlington GOP

Prince William Board Chairman One of Three Vying for Party’s Senate Nod SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Love it or loathe it, the rhetorical flourishes were pure Corey Stewart. Combative. Bombastic.

Pugnacious.

“I’m going to run the most vicious, ruthless, aggressive campaign you have ever seen, and we are going to win,” he said, later throwing in “cut-throat” and “brutal” when a fan in the audience asked him to repeat the mantra for those watching online.

Stewart, one of three contenders for the Republican U.S. Senate nomination, on March 28 became the first to make his case before the Arlington County Republican Committee. Others are expected to follow over the next two months.

“It’s really great to be here in occupied territory,” Stewart – who chairs the Prince William Board of County Supervisors – said of his appearance in Arlington, which long has been dominated by Democrats.

(But it also may be somewhat hostile territory for Stewart even among Republicans; while he won 42.5 percent of the vote in

last year’s statewide gubernatorial primary, losing narrowly to Ed Gillespie in a three-way race, Stewart only picked up 26 percent of the vote in Arlington.)

Those expecting rhetorical red meat tossed to the audience were not disappointed: • On Democrats: “There really should be an intelligence test to run for office.”

• Also on Democrats: “Up here in Northern Virginia, we know what it’s like to deal with these left-wing lunatics.”

• On potential general-election rival U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine: “He’s forever tied to Hillary Clinton and all the stupid things she says.”

• On the recently adopted federal spending package: “That will was absolutely terrible. It funded all the stuff we didn’t want.”

• On Republican primary opponents Nick Freitas and E.W. Jackson (and others): “None of them has ever won a single election in Northern Virginia.”

• On Google, Facebook, Twitter: “It’s justified to break them up.”

• Back to Democrats, this time on the national level: “They’re arrogant and cocky . . . we’re going to kick their teeth out.”

Stewart, an acolyte of Donald Trump, also took shots at Senate Majority Leader Mitch McCon-

nell (R-Ky.) for poor leadership and misplaced priorities.

Stewart, Freitas and Jackson will be on the June 12 primary ballot. The winner goes on to an uphill challenge against Kaine, who while he has never been rapturously loved by the Virginia electorate, is seen, in the words of Barack Obama on another occasion, as perhaps likable enough.

At the monthly GOP meeting, which drew about 75 Republicans to a Courthouse-area restaurant, Stewart said his combination of a Prince William County power base and the ability to reach out to voters would make him the most formidable

challenger to Kaine.

Stewart said Gillespie got it backward in his bid for governor last year: running as a centrist in the primary, then having to veer to the right in the general election to keep the wavering Republican base on his team. As a result, Gillespie got pummeled

by Democrat Ralph Northam, Stewart said.

Stewart said that, if he wins the nomination for Senate, he would tack to the center for the general election.

“This requires a lot of diplomacy, and I’m going to be doing that,” he said. “You need to go to those places where [voters] aren’t

going to go for you, and pick off a few votes. You have to listen to what they’re saying; when you listen, they know you care.”

The meeting got a little zesty when the rank-and-file sparred over the need for President Trump’s centerpiece promise: a border wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Stewart and some in the crowd favored it, others said it was a waste of money, and a moderate level of spirited verbal hubbub ensued. (“We ended on a good one there,” county Republican chairman Jim Presswood chuckled.)

Presswood said that while Republicans are significantly outnumbered in Arlington and the Trump wing of the party even more so (the president garnered an anemic 17 percent of percent of the Arlington vote against the Clinton-Kaine ticket), the local GOP would work hard to send a Republican to the Senate.

“Raw votes will make a huge difference,” he said. “When this primary season is over, we are going to unify behind our nominee.”

Freitas, a downstate member of the House of Delegates, is expected to attend the party’s April meeting.

“We’ve asked all of our senatorial candidates to come,” Presswood said.

More Voting Precincts Will Be Needed, But Space Is Tight SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington has added 12 voting precincts since 2000 in order to accommodate growth, and likely will need to augment that with least a dozen more by 2045.

Where, exactly, they are going to go remains one of the unanswered questions.

“It’s a challenge to find locations,” said Arlington Electoral Board chairman Charlene Bickford, pointing to challenges in obtaining access to spaces owned both publicly and privately.

The three-member Electoral Board gazed into the future at a recent meeting, adopting a strategic plan designed to manage 4

April 5, 2018

growth and address changing technology and voter trends.

The plan also will help guide community outreach, and election officials might ask the public to do POLITICAL s o m e POTPOURRI l o bby ing on their behalf at the appropriate times and places.

“People speaking up would certainly help,” Arlington elections chief Linda Lindberg said.

With 46,000 more voters on the books compared to a decade ago, Arlington officials already have added several precincts in recent years, bringing the total to 54. Although no new ones are slated for this year, there could

be additions made in time for the 2020 presidential election.

If current demographic projections bear fruit, the population growth of Arlington will continue through at least the 2040s. The voting-eligible population, which stood at 146,000 in 2010 and is slated to hit 169,000 in 2020, could surpass 200,000 sometime between 2030 and 2040.

Not all of those people will vote or even register, of course, but the growth curve will have an impact. Arlington election officials aim to maintain polling places at between 2,500 and 3,500 active voters apiece.

(Election officials also are contending with increases in abwww.insidenova.com

sentee voting, both in-person and by mail, which can vary widely based on the year – in 2015, with only local offices on the ballot, there were 2,343 general-election absentee votes cast in Arlington; in the presidential year of 2016 there were 38,029.)

The strategic plan, which was developed by the elections-office staff, aims to provide a road map for the future, and will guide requests for financial support that go annually to the county manager and County Board.

“We have good relations with the County Board,” Bickford said. “They have given us what we’ve asked for over the years – mostly.”

The strategic plan also looks

at issues of security, transparency, facilities and training. “The first line of business for our office is to serve Arlington’s voters,” the seven-page plan says.

Arlington GOP, Young Republicans Augment Leadership Ranks: The Arlington County Republican Committee on March 28 filled out its 2018-19 leadership ranks.

Graham Plaster, a management consultant in the militaryintelligence arena, was elected to serve as vice chairman. Plaster previously had served as finance director for county Republicans.

Secretary Sue Arnold and treasurer Pat Spann were reelected to posts they have held for multiple years.

Opinion Highs & Lows WE HAVE NO DOG in the fight between the Arlington County government and two local country clubs over taxation, an issue that has played out on the news pages during the 2018 General Assembly session.

But that doesn’t mean we don’t have some observations.

• First, the general consensus from those looking objectively at this matter is that the county government could have saved itself a lot of aggravation had it simply sat down with the clubs (Washington Golf and Army Navy) sometime over the past year and hammered out a compromise that would have reduced their tax bills – maybe not to the level the clubs wanted, but at least somewhat.

County officials opted not to play ball, and the clubs (not unlike the towing industry a year before) turned to the legislature for redress. Lawmakers responded, approving by rather healthy and somewhat bipartisan majorities legislation that would force Arlington to significantly reduce assessments, and therefore tax bills, on the clubs.

Members of Arlington’s delegation voted against the measure, and some spoke out about it, but one gets the feeling that – again like the towing contretemps of 2017 – our members of the state Senate and House of Delegates really weren’t interested in expending their own political capital fighting the county government’s battle.

• Second, this is going to be an interesting test of our firstyear governor, who has to decide whether to sign, veto or amend the legislation.

One possibility we’ve floated in news coverage: He vetoes the bill but includes language telling the County Board to sit down with the clubs and put a deal together, or else. (The “or else” being his threat to sign a similar bill tying the county’s hands next year.) That would seem to work in the short term for everyone, and throws the ball right back in the court of the County Board, where it belongs.

Gov. Northam’s deadline for action is April 9. This will be an interesting one; grab the popcorn and stay tuned.

Plan to Expand Hospital Is Not Ready to Go Editor: Being a neighbor of the Virginia Hospital Center requires patience and understanding, but we are fortunate to have this fine hospital. And the Sun Gazette does a great job.

However, your recent front page article – “Hospital, Neighbors Aiming to Find Common Ground on Expansion Plan” – needs updating, to say the least.

The facts are the current site plan is highly objectionable to virtually all nearby neighbors, homeowners associations and civic associations. To their credit, the hospital staff is presenting the site plan far and wide, answering questions and listening to comments and suggestions. Yet no significant changes or updates have been made. At this point, the hospital seems reluctant to collaborate with neighbors on revisions.

Expansion of the hospital is not un-

reasonable. Unfortunately, hospital expansion is only partially focused on expanding medical services. The site plan includes a large outpatient facility on the Edison property, which will create space for 100 new beds in the hospital (only 44 currently are approved).

Most notably, however, the site plan also calls for construction of a mammoth parking garage on nearly half the property, bringing about 2,000 cars every working day into the neighborhood and surrounding area.

Unlike the current campus, the parking garage and outpatient-services building are pushed near the perimeter of the property, with inadequate setbacks and minimal landscaping for a buffer with local homes.

Most puzzling and unacceptable is the fact the hospital site plan calls for a “sunken garden” in the middle of the

Editor: I want to second the opinion of letter-writer Steve Johnston, who in the March 29 edition described how a beautiful spring morning can be totally ruined by leaf blower noise.

I’ll bet he’d agree that many a beautiful spring afternoon, evening (always as you’re about to enjoy dinner on your deck), summer morning or afternoon,

etc., is equally vulnerable to being ruined by this loud, grating and intrusive noise.

I, too, am in strong support of doing what the District of Columbia does and enforcing decibel limits. This is something we can control. (We seem to have no control over helicopter noise.)

property. This centrally located land should be used in constructing the new buildings, but instead is reserved for future growth.

The county government’s Site Plan Review Committee has only one more scheduled meeting in a rush to bring the site plan to the County Board by June.

No part of the site plan has achieved consensus from the committee – not architecture, not landscaping, not traffic management and not construction planning. Obviously, more time is needed for collaboration and compromise.

To the immediate neighbors most adversely affected by hospital expansion, the hospital site plan has been, and remains, dead on arrival.

Formality Is a Key Component in Transacting Public’s Business Editor: Your March 29 Thumbs Down for informality of attire and behavior at meetings of the County Board hit a chord with me. But the problem is greater than the unseemliness of tie-less board members calling each other by first names. The roster of the honorable past board members that you cite were effective because they operated by a formal decision-making process, of which formality was, and is, a part.

Informality in decision-making is not appropriate for an elected body, outside the occasional “retreat.” Even committee meetings must be run according to established rules of order and presided over by a chair.

As most anyone who has ever served on a non-profit board or been part of a volunteer organization can attest, it’s very difficult to make decisions without the help of a formal process that everyone understands and accepts.

The attire of elected officials matters

because it reflects a commitment to the system of rules and traditions they have been elected to learn and abide by. They are playing a role in a system, acting out the duties of their office.

Judges wear robes (or wigs, in Great Britain); their bailiffs wear a uniform; academics march in colorful gowns and sashes; priests wear collars; committee chairs wield gavels. The reason these props and costumes persist is because they remind us that effective decisionmaking in a democracy depends upon its being woven into the shared traditions and common interests that make our system strong.

An official who dresses for the part respects not just the citizens who expect some degree of formality in the official’s conduct and attire. A decision-maker who abides by the rules and traditions is respecting the system and the process itself.

Rob Abbot Arlington

Let the Courts Handle Dispute Between County, Country Clubs Editor: The General Assembly passed legislation that would require the Arlington County government to lower tax bills of two country clubs by about $1.5 million annually, forcing the county government to either cut services or raise taxes.

Supporters of the bill argue that other country clubs in Virginia pay far lower taxes. And they are correct.

But that does not mean, as they claim, that the county government is treating the two Arlington clubs unfairly.

It could mean that Arlington land is more valuable, or it could mean that the other country clubs in the state are taxed at too low a rate.

Disputes over property taxes are supposed to be decided by the courts. Here, there is a pending lawsuit in Circuit Court between the county and the two Arlington clubs over the county’s tax assessment.

The legislation would render that

lawsuit moot.

Either the sponsor of this bill, Del. Tim Hugo (R-Fairfax), and other supporters have no confidence in the Virginia court system, or they fear that if the facts and evidence were presented in an open court where an impartial judge ruled on the merits, the Arlington government would win.

If the county government is being as unfair and unreasonable as Del. Hugo and others claim, then surely the courts of Virginia could figure that out. That’s what courts do. So why not rely on the judicial system where the results aren’t determined by politics?

We urge Gov. Northam to veto the bill, so that this case can be decided on its merits.

No Reason to Subsidize Country Clubs Editor: Legislation requiring Arlington residents and businesses to subsidize two private country clubs in Arlington is on Gov. Northam’s desk It is being marketed in the name of veterans because one of the proposed beneficiaries is Army Navy Country Club.

Army Navy is a private club, open to military and civilians. It is not a part of the military nor is it a charitable organization.

No one we know begrudges these

club members – at Army Navy or at Washington Golf & Country Club – access to recreational and social activities in some of the most beautiful settings in Arlington. But that does not mean that the rest of us should subsidize them, or that important county services should suffer to provide this benefit.

Civic Federation’s President: Diversity Starts at Grass Roots The president of the Arlington County Civic Federation says efforts to expand the diversity of the organization’s membership need to start at the grass-roots level.

In a public letter on “The Diversity Question,” Civic Federation president Duke Banks says it is up to the roughly 80 member organizations that make up the federation to recruit participants from underrepresented racial, ethnic, age and socio-economic groups.

“We have the capability to bring in new faces using the existing structure of our member organization,” Banks said.

“Hence my president’s challenge: Fill your allotted delegate and alternate slots with new faces.”

Critics, who often are more pronounced in vocal chords than raw numbers, long have complained that Civic Federation meetings are attended by those who are older and whiter than Arlington’s modern demographics. Banks, who took office in 2016, has made diversification of membership ranks one of his goals.

Each member organization is entitled to appoint four delegates and four alternates to represent it at the Civic Federation, creating a potential pool of nearly 650 people.

“Few of our member organizations have a complete complement of delegates

and alternates, and we rarely have over 80 delegates who attend our monthly meetings,” Banks said.

Banks noted that the Millennial generation may have interest in participating, but not know how. He related attending a recent forum on engagement hosted by County Board Chairman Katie Cristol and U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th), where he was approached by several residents in their late 20s and early 30s expressing interesting in getting involved.

“Their names were collected and forwarded to the respective civic association,” he said.

The Civic Federation dates its history back to 1915, when it was established by six community organizations. While never dormant, its relevance in the county has ebbed and flowed throughout the decades.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, it had become something of an inward-looking debating society, with several individuals dominating meetings that often went on past the stroke of midnight.

In recent years – under the leadership of Banks and his immediate predecessor Stefanie Pryor, among others – the Civic Federation has worked to expand its footprint in the community discourse while also streamlining meetings in an effort to lure additional participation.

Leadership Center’s Frantz Lauded as Tenure Nears End As she prepares to depart her post as founding CEO of the Leadership Center for Excellence, Betsy Frantz is beginning to pick up accolades for two decades of service.

The latest came on March 28, as the Kiwanis Club of Arlington lauded Frantz with its annual Community Service Award.

“There is no one in our community I can think of who is more deserving,” said Tom Parker, a former Arlington County government economic-development chief who presented the award. “Betsy Frantz has blown us away.”

Frantz in January announced plans to

depart the Leadership Center for Excellence April 1 to lead the Virginia Hospital Center Health System Foundation. Liz Nohra, currently chief operating officer of the Leadership Center, will serve as interim CEO. Frantz was the founding executive director the Leadership Center (then known as Leadership Arlington) at its start in 1997. In the ensuing two decades, the organization has grown from an annual budget of $22,000 to nearly $2 million, and from a single leadership-training program to a wide array of programs across the Washington region.

At the March 28 ceremony, Kiwanis member Julie Mangis recalled a time in the mid-1990s when she, Frantz and Arlington Chamber of Commerce president Rich Doud were attending an Arlington Committee of 100 event, and talk turned to creation of a leadership-training program.

“About a year later, the first class came through,” said Mangis, who herself later took part in Leadership Arlington’s signature training program.

Prior to coming to the Leadership

Center for Excellence, Frantz had held a leadership post with the Junior League of Northern Virginia. During her tenure, she has been active in a wide array of community affairs, and also has been active in providing leadership training nationally.

In remarks at the Kiwanis Club, Frantz said she had a soft spot for the organization, since her father had been a Kiwanian years ago.

“It’s in my fabric,” she said. “Thank you for all the work you do.”

and skills-development organization, was appointed in December by former Gov. Terry McAuliffe to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development, where she is the only Latina and representative of the

non-profit sector.

“I am ready to discuss the urgency of creating policies and making changes to our regulations . . . connecting low-income populations to new job opportunities,” Funegra said in a letter to supporters of La Cocina VA. “This would involve giving low-skilled workers, people with employment barriers, long-term unemployed, out-of-school youth, low-income single mothers and returning citizens the opportunity to move ahead in the labor market,” Funegra said.

Funegra was one of eight appointments or reappointments made to the board by McAuliffe before he left office.

Also appointed was Arlington resident Daniel Gomez, chief strategy officer of the D.C.-based Capitol Bridge LLC. The Virginia Board of Workforce Development is business-led board that acts as the principal adviser to the governor and provides “strategic leadership to the state regarding the workforce-development system and its efforts to create a strong workforce aligned with employer needs,” according to the body’s Web site.

Virginia rose from second to first in the Atlantic region in a recent analysis of state workforce-development activities conducted by Site Selection Magazine.

Virginia came out ahead of Maryland, Georgia and North Carolina in the ranking. Rounding out the list were Florida, Delaware, South Carolina and West Virginia.

“A strong workforce is a draw for companies looking to either relocate their operations or expand their existing business,” Gov. Northam said in a statement.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week

A Custom Showplace in Westover

Exceptional Elegance Is Combined with Energy Efficiency

Spring is here. Exceptional homes are in bloom across the region. And this week’s featured property, a superb custom home set in sought-after Westover is certainly on that stands tall.

Featuring an open floor plan and accented by an exceptional wrap-around porch, the home was designed by Sandy Fennell in 2009 and built for its current owners by Christopher and Companies.

Set amid wonderfully-coiffed landscaping, the home benefits from oversized windows and high ceilings, allowing the beauty of nature to shine in.

With exceptional space – including six bedrooms and 5.5 baths – the home is perfect for accommodating both family and company with effortless ease.

And given that it’s an Energy Star Labeled Home, you are guaranteed comfort while ensuring a low environmental footprint.

The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,559,000 by Stacey Romm and Peggy Richardson of Washington Fine Properties.

Strong visual curb appeal is our introduction to the home, and the attention to detail continues as we explore the interior. More than 6,300 square feet of living space vie for our attention.

The formal rooms offer a winning combination of classic styles and contemporary flair, a hard achievement to pull off. The kitchen is the home’s central clearinghouse, and will exceed expectations for the chefs among us while also providing a marvelous space for all to enjoy each other’s company.

Of the six bedrooms, the master retreat is a stunner, again accentuating the Old World approach to craftsmanship.

The fenced rear yard is large enough for intergenerational play, and the adjacent two-car garage is a wonderful added accoutrement.

All this, and you have the delights of Westover, including shopping, restaurants, parks and proximity to Metro.

This is decidedly a home for your “todo” list if in the market this springtime.

Facts for buyers Address: 5921 15th Street North, Arlington (22205).

Census Bureau Details Growth in National Population The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington metropolitan area’s 146,000-population increase last year was the most of any metro area and Maricopa County, Ariz., saw a population increase of nearly 74,000 — the most of any county last year — according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s new July 1, 2017, population estimates.

The statistics provide population estimates and components of change for the nation’s 382 metropolitan statistical areas and 3,142 counties.

Dallas’ growth is due to a confluence of factors.

“Historically, the Dallas metro area attracts large numbers from both international and domestic migration,” said Molly Cromwell, a Census Bureau demographer. “Many of the other largest metro areas in the country rely mostly on international migration and natural increase for growth.”

Among the nation’s counties, the top 10 with the largest numeric growth are all located in the South and the West. The 10 largest counties in the country all maintained their rank compared to last year.

From July 1, 2016, to July 1, 2017, six of the top 10 largest-gaining counties were in Texas — Bexar, Collin, Dallas, Denton, Harris and Tarrant.

The remaining four counties on the list were Maricopa County, Ariz.; Clark County, Nev.; Riverside County, Calif.; and King County, Wash.

Most of the nation’s 3,142 counties grew. Between 2016 and 2017, 1,790 counties (57 percent) gained population and 1,342 counties (42.7 percent) lost population.

Between 2016 and 2017, the number of counties that showed a positive net migration was 1,661 (52.9 percent), meaning more people moved into the county than moved out, and 1,470 (46.8 percent) counties showed negative net migration, meaning more people moved out of the county than moved into the county.

The St. Louis metropolitan area dropped out of the top 20 most populous metro areas, and swapped places with Baltimore to its new 2017 standing of the 21st most populous area in the nation.

In 1960, St. Louis was the nation’s ninth largest metro area, according to Census data.

On the main level you will notice spacious, comfortable rooms, and your choice of which overflow room to use: the splendid sunroom with vaulted ceiling off the kitchen, or the wood-paneled main level office with high ceilings and built-in bookcases. The sunroom can serve as a sunny breakfast room with the perfect spot to read the newspaper while enjoying your morning coffee, or as a play room for the kids where you can easily keep an eye on them while cooking dinner.

The kitchen can be updated where it is or easily opened up to join the dining room and sun room, creating the open floor plan that many covet. Opening up the kitchen could create a large kitchen/family room space with the dining room re-located to the current sun room — and what a glorious dining space that would be!

Each office is independently owned and operated.

Arlington school officials say they plan to address future requests for use of school property to hold farmers’ markets on a case-by-case basis.

“If we’re approached by other operators for other schools, we’ll be happy to talk to them,” said John Chadwick, facilities chief for Arlington Public Schools, during a March 22 session with School Board members.

Those board members are expected on April 5 to approve an agreement with a non-profit group, allowing it to operate a farmers’ market on Saturday mornings annually from April to November in the parking lot of Barrett Elementary School.

The organization – Field to Table Inc. – already operates similar markets in Westover and Fairlington. It will pay the school system the nominal fee of $200 a year for access to the Barrett site. Operations will run from 8 a.m. to noon.

Sen. Kaine to Headline Democratic Dinner U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D-Va.) will be the keynote speaker at the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s annual Blue Victory Dinner, which also will feature some of the freshmen female members of the House of Delegates from across the commonwealth.

The headliners “represent the best

R C ST R R ealty™

of what we are building together here in Virginia – inclusive, forward-looking and results-oriented,” leadership of the local party said in an announcement.

The event is slated for April 21 at the Westin Arlington Gateway Hotel. For tickets and information, see the Web site at www.arlingtondemocrats.org/bvd.

(If things don’t work out on the Barrett site, both sides in the agreement can terminate it with 45 days’ notice.)

School Board members seemed content with the proposal, except for a comment about restroom facilities. Chadwick said arrangements had been made for a portable restroom to be available on the site during the April-to-November period; it will be open only during Saturday mornings, locked at other times.

Discussion of the Barrett proposal did lead School Board member Reid Goldstein to inquire whether the school system had any hard-and-fast rules for addressing requests of this type.

“Are there are sets of criteria?” Goldstein asked. “What happens when the next group says ‘We want one over here’?”

While Chadwick said proposals would be evaluated as they came in, Goldstein said it was important that “we do this equitably in the future.”

“I lobbied the board, gaining associate-member rights for nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Once doctorally prepared, I became a full member,” said Moriarty, who earned a doctor of nursing practice degree at the Johns Hopkins University in 2010.

“I’m thrilled to be named a fellow, since no other nurse has ever done this before. It signifies my commitment to care, education and research in headache,” Moriarty said.

happen,” Ferguson told the Sun Gazette.

In 2011, there were four Circuit Court judges on the bench in Arlington: Benjamin Kendrick, James Almand, Joanne Alper and Chief Judge William Newman Jr. The retirements of Almand and Kendrick in late 2011 and Alper in 2012 briefly left Newman as the lone jurist on the Circuit Court, assisted by substitute judges.

In 2012, the General Assembly elected Louise Di Matteo and Dan Fiore II to eight-year Circuit Court terms, bringing the bench back to nearly its full strength.

But legislators balked at approving a

fourth Circuit Court judge, and a 2013 state study determined that Arlington’s judicial workload necessitated 2.8 positions, rounding up the three judges.

(Ferguson was among those who disputed the finding, saying the complexity of some cases locally meant a fourth judge was needed.)

State law requires that judges retire shortly after their 73rd birthdays. While Newman is the oldest of the three local Circuit Court judges, none is yet brushing up against that age requirement.

State law leaves election of judges in

the hands of the General Assembly. Circuit Court vacancies can be filled by the governor when the legislature is not in session, but must be ratified by the General Assembly in the next session, or the position is vacated.

significant Confederate attack, according to the National Park Service. It occurred on July 11-12, 1864, in the presence of Abraham Lincoln, who became the second (after James Madison) and so far last president to face hostile fire in wartime.

Though often makeshift and rudimentary, the ring forts and associated facilities constituted what may have been the strongest system of protection existing for any city in the world in the middle of the 19th century, the National Park Service

suggests. Combined, there were emplacements for 1,500 guns, of which more than 900 were operational for the duration of the war.

After the conflict, most of the forts were allowed to deteriorate, and many were overgrown with vegetation. In Arlington, a number today form the nucleus of parks, and one – known during the Civil War as Fort Whipple – served as the genesis of Fort Myer, now part of Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

Arlington, which until 1920 was known as Alexandria County, spent the Civil War in Union hands. In May 1861, after Virginia voters opted to secede, federal troops marched into the county from the District of Columbia and remained for the duration of the four-year conflict.

What will become of the 24-pounder found during the renovation? For now, it will stay in the hands of AFAC, unless and until “a better option is presented,” Meng said.

Generals Finish 3-0 in Tourney

Teeing Off

Early-Season Lineups Can Change Drastically From early March to May. What a difference that time frame often makes in the development and sometimes vast improvement of outdoor springtime high school varsity sports teams.

Offense Scores 32 Runs in 3 Contests

Dave Facinoli

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Spring break was a big success for the Washington-Lee Generals – perfect, in because the BASEBALL fact, high school baseball team was productive with the bat to finish 3-0 in tournament action.

Washington-Lee defeated Fairfax, 12-5, Annandale, 6-5, and George Mason, 14-4, in those contests. Games were played at Fairfax and George Mason high schools.

“Those were some good wins,” Washington-Lee coach Doug Grove said. “It has been a long time since we went 3-0 in a spring-break tournament. We have a young team and this will help our confidence.”

The Generals’ final game was the win over George Mason at Fairfax on March 27. Aidan Lowe led a 12-hit attack by going 3 for 3 with a three-run homer. Jack Winslow had two doubles and two RBI, starting (and winning) pitcher Ryan Edelstein had two hits (double) and two RBI, Hunter Spicer added two hits, Sam Dozier had a hit and an RBI, Dylan Anderson (sacrifice fly) had two RBI, Trey Continued on Page 24

In early March, teams often don’t closely resemble how they might look and perform much better and are more polished come May. One thing is the March weather, which often stinks and can affect and drastically limit practice times and their quality – forcing some to be held indoors in gymnasiums or hallways or outside in parking lots until the actual playing fields dry or snow melts away.

That happened this year.

Players and teams can’t get into any routine or real rhythm until competing on their actual fields.

There have been years, because of foul weather, when the first time baseball or girls softball teams are playing on their fields for the initial time is the actual opening game of the spring campaign. Ragged and sloppy play is sometimes the result.

“Teams can be totally different and much better in May than how they are playing in early March,” Marshall High School baseball coach Aaron Tarr said. “It happens so often.”

Then there are team lineups, which often change significantly from March to May – regarding where the players play or who plays.

In March, seniors and more experienced upperclassmen tend to get the nod for playing time, and are given the opportunity to remain in the lineup.

As seasons progress and teams might not be doing so well, underclassmen are inserted into lineups, taking the spot of more veteran players.

If success follows, younger players keep their positions. The opposite occurs, too, when upperclassmen replace struggling youngsters.

Those starting lineups in early March can be obsolete come late April or early May. That has been the case for years for spring sports.

Schools Continued from Page 1 combine expansion (and partial demolition) of a current structure with new construction. The original budgeted cost of $49 million has grown to $55 million.

Funding to fill the $6 million gap has not been identified, and School Board members on Thursday are likely to direct staff and the architectural firm handling the project to try and find cost savings as the process moves forward.

That directive did not mollify School Board member Reid Goldstein, who noted at a March 22 School Board meeting that the new Wilson and Stratford school projects will cost more than initially proposed, and the Fleet Elementary School project only came in at budget after several amenities were removed.

With the Reed School proposal, “my problem is we don’t know how we’re going to pay for it,” Goldstein said. “Today, we’re $6 million over . . . and we’re still many milestones away from the final product.”

(Indeed: That projected $6 million funding gap does not include the possibility that an underground or above-ground parking garage might be sought, which could cause the deficit to balloon further.

Preliminary plans anticipate surface parking on the site.)

Until the onset of the 2008-09 recession, Arlington Public Schools often paid

some of the highest costs nationally for school construction, in part to placate parents who wanted a variety of amenities in the buildings.

Wakefield High School, which was conceived before the recession but built in its immediate aftermath, cost $203 per square foot, according to state data.

Among high schools constructed around the same time, a Loudoun County school cost at $149 per square foot, a Clarke County school $121 per square foot.

That spending spree was tempered somewhat during and after the recession, in part because construction firms were willing to charge less to get work.

But the trend toward pricey projects continues: A recent Arlington elementary-school project totaled $289 per square foot, compared to $151 per square foot for a Prince William elementary school, while the Wilson site – to be home to a relocated H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program – has what might work out to be the highest per-square-foot cost in Virginia public-school history.

(The Arlington school system’s auditor, John Mickevice, announced plans last fall to study the reasons behind the construction-cost disparities this year. The move was applauded by Arlington County Taxpayers Association president Tim Wise, who has been critical of school-system spending.)

Construction of the new elementary school in Westover, designed to address a shortage of elementary-school seats countywide, will be contingent on

Arlington School Board members Reid Goldstein and Nancy Van Doren.

voter approval in an expected November school-bond referendum. School leaders are expecting to ask for $38.25 million for the project from voters, who have not turned down a school bond in decades.

Assuming the funding is approved by the electorate, construction of the school can begin in 2019, with completion slated for the start of the 2021-22 school year.

As part of its approval of the concept design for the new facility on April 5, School Board members are expected to direct the project’s building-level planning committee (BLPC) to do nothing that will increase the overall cost, and if possible find ways to cut it.

That direction was supported by School

Board member Nancy Van Doren.

“I know that it makes us nervous to go over our budget,” she said, but “there might be opportunities [in the schematicdesign phase of planning] to find ways we can reduce the costs.”

But Goldstein remained dubious, noting that in the original direction given to members of the BLPC, the requirement of sticking the maximum $49 million figure was mentioned “no less than six times.”

“I’m not blaming anybody . . . but putting in language on a piece of paper does not hold down costs, much as we want it to,” he said.

Rising construction costs, which are hardly limited to the county school system but affect projects across the region and country due to a variety of factors, are threatening to push Arlington Public Schools above its debt-service cap, which requires that the school system spend no more than 10 percent of its budget on repaying bonds.

That cap is required by the County Board (which also imposes it on countygovernment debt service). County Board members have agreed to allow the school system to temporarily exceed the 10percent threshold in coming years, but anything more long-term could put the county government’s AAA bond ratings in jeopardy.

In order to accommodate the new school, the non-profit Children’s School – which provides low-cost child-care to Arlington Public Schools’ staff – will have to relocate from the Reed facility.
