Homeowners Could See Higher Tax Bills

Rising Assessments Would Take $300+ More from Those with Even Modest Houses SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Unless County Board members can find a way to cut the real-estate tax rate without raising a backlash from specialinterest groups, owners of single-family homes across Arlington likely will be on the hook for higher 2018 tax bills due to increasing assessments.

County Manager Mark Schwartz on Oct. 24 predicted a rise of 5 percent in the assessed value of single-family real estate in 2018, due to a competitive market. The owner of a typical, mid-20th-century $700,000 home that sees such a jump would pay $7,394 in real-estate taxes next year – $352 more than this year – assuming no change in the current tax rate of $1.006 per $100 assessed value.

“We see trends in residential sales and prices going up, especially on the singlefamily side,” said Emily Hughes of the county government’s Department of Management and Finance. Hughes noted that, for the first nine months of this year, the average sales price of a single-family home in Arlington was up about 7 percent from the same period a year before. Those increases will be fac-

tored into updated property assessments, to be released by the county government in late January. Those assessments will only cover half the equation that leads to a property owner’s ultimate tax bill; the other half will depend on where the county government sets the tax rate.

County Manager Nixes Plan for Virginia Square Theater SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Arlington arts community’s expectations of a government-run blackbox theater at a prominent corner in Virginia Square have foundered on the shoals of economic realities, evolving priorities and questions over whether the structure ever would get built. Arlington County Manager Mark Schwartz Schwartz on Oct. 24 said he was exercising the county government’s option to take cash rather than the theater space from a developer that has won approval for, but not started construction on, a new commercial building at 3901 North Fairfax Drive. Instead, Schwartz will trigger the alternative option – a payment from the developer to the government’s coffers of about $1.5 million, if and when construction moves forward. “I know that many in the arts community will be disappointed,” the county

manager acknowledged in detailing his proposal and the reasoning behind it. As part of a site-plan agreement in 2012, the developer had agreed to lease a 13,000-square-foot space, suitable for a 150-seat theater, to the county government for $1 a year for the next 30 years. But county taxpayers still would be responsible for the costs of building out the space (estimated at $3 million) and subsidizing an ongoing operating loss that could have totaled hundreds of thousands of dollars a year and “simply isn’t sustainable,” the county manager said in a briefing to County Board members. Schwartz also cited “a shift in our strategy” away from major capital spending on the arts toward lower-cost, higher-impact community programming using available resources and community partnerships. Arlington’s inventory of performingarts spaces shrunk recently with the closure of the Spectrum Theatre in Rosslyn. Earlier, the nearby Artisphere was shuttered after hemorrhaging red ink during its troubled years of operation, and the Thomas Jefferson Community Theatre has seen some arts groups, like Encore Stage and Studio, depart during the twoyear period when an elementary school is being constructed on the campus, limiting Continued on Page 25

New Gift Solidifies Ties Between Family, Marymount The intimate and longstanding collaboration between Marymount University and the Reinsch and Pierce family was further solidified on Oct. 26, when the university announced a substantial gift that will result in a space at Marymount’s new Ballston Center being named in the family’s honor. “I am so thrilled to do this for Marymount, truly,” Lola Reinsch, a member of Marymount’s board of trustees since 1992, said as the gift was announced at the university’s annual President’s Circle Dinner. The result will be “The Reinsch Pierce Family Courtyard” at the new Ballston campus, which opened in August after two years of construction. The building, and an adjacent apartment, replaced the “Blue Goose,” an iconic building that had stood on the site for 55 years and accommodated Marymount programs for almost half that time. The family’s relationship with the university began when Reinsch introduced her late father, Arlington developer Emerson “Jerry” Reinsch, to Sister Majella Berg, Marymount’s longtime (1960-93) president. According to university officials, the two became good friends, and the family shared Thanksgiving dinners

together. Toward the end of his life, the Marymount president often visited Reinsch at his nursing home and took him for car trips, where he loved to visit his many properties. “Our rides together all over Arlington were a lesson in local real-estate and landdeal history,” Berg recalled in her book, “College to University: A Memoir.”

It was Berg who, as university president, cobbled together the funds to purchase the Blue Goose in 1992, giving Marymount a foothold to the RosslynBallston corridor about a mile south of Marymount’s main campus. At the Oct. 26 event, Lola Reinsch was accompanied by her son, Gerald Pierce, and her former husband, Al Pierce,

who served as the architect of Emerson G. Reinsch Library on the university’s main campus. Other Marymount facilities named for Reinsch family members include Lola’s Café and Reinsch Auditorium. In an interview before the dinner, Marymount president Matthew Shank said the courtyard is the gateway to the entire Ballston Center complex and will be appreciated by students and the community. “It will be used for many years to come for events, as a place for students to relax and study, and as a walkway for the community,” Shank said. “We’re thrilled that it will be honoring this wonderful family, not only because of Lola’s history as a trustee with Marymount, but also with her father’s history with our university.” At the Ballston Center, the university occupies six of the nine floors of the 165,000-square-foot academic building on the two-building parcel, whose construction was a partnership between the university and the Shooshan Co. and was built by Clark Construction and Hitt Construction. It includes classrooms, administrative offices, a library, cybersecurity lab, 200-seat auditorium, chapel and both a dining hall and Starbucks.

South Arlington Kiwanis President Sets Her Priorities They are the two major challenges facing service clubs not just in Arlington, but in communities across the nation: retaining (and if possible increasing) membership and tapping into up-and-coming generations of civic-minded individuals. They are topics the new president of the South Arlington Kiwanis Club has been giving thought to. “The big push is for membership,” said Edie Smolinski, who on Oct. 19 succeeded Andres Tobar as president of the organization. At the event, Smolinski called upon members to reach out in their own circles in an effort to find those wishing to become a part of the organization. “Look around at people . . . and just ask them,” she said during a luncheon meeting at Busboys and Poets in Shirlington. “There are a lot of people out there.” The South Arlington Kiwanis, with a membership hovering in the two-dozen range, is hardly unique in facing challenges: All manner of service clubs across the nation – from Rotarians to Jaycees to Optimists – are finding it difficult to recruit younger members, including those in the almighty Millennial generation. Some clubs, however, are finding success at the local level; a recently formed Kiwanis Club in Tysons has eschewed the traditional meet-regularly-for-lunch model to focus almost exclusively on service projects benefiting the community. The result has been a more engaged membership. But even in traditional clubs, there are opportunities, said Smolinski, a former 4

president of the League of Women Voters of Arington and of what is now known as Arlington Thrive. “It’s all about service,” she said, a sentiment echoed by David Diesselhorst, a division lieutenant governor of Kiwanis who oversaw the installation-of-officers ceremony. “You have to focus on service projects. That’s how you will get your 20-30-somethings,” he told members of the South Arlington organization. For Tobar, who is rotating off as president but is expected to be back in the post next year, organizations like the South

Arlington Kiwanis are vital parts of the community fabric. “It’s a very good club. Our participation is outstanding,” he said. (For information on membership and sponsorships, e-mail Harro Wulf at jwulf1@verizon. net.) Kiwanians of the South Arlington club work to support youth locally through the Arlington Career Center and Arlington Community High School, and internationally through initiatives like Kiwanis’ $110 million partnership with UNICEF to eradicate maternal and neonatal tetanus, which kills mothers and ba-

bies in underdeveloped countries, but can be prevented with a series of inexpensive inoculations. The South Arlington Kiwanis Club is among organizations that are members of the Inter-Service Club Council of Arlington (ISCC), which was founded in 1940 to coordinate efforts among like-minded groups in the community. The ISCC will hold its annual meeting on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at noon at Washington Golf & Country Club. The cost for the luncheon is $35. For information, call Edd Nolen at (703) 5332953.

Absentee-Voting Rate Rises, But Most Still Will Vote Nov. 7 SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Despite significant increases in the percentage of Arlington voters who cast ballots absentee, the county’s elections chief expects at least 80 percent of those participants in the Nov. 7 election to due on Election Day proper. “My expectation is that the percentage of absentee voters, of the total voting, will increase significantly from 2013’s 11 percent to possibly as high as 18 to 20 percent this year,” Linda Lindberg told the Sun Gazette in a pre-election briefing. While most voters will be going to the polls communally next Tuesday, the number casting ballots absentee continues to climb, running about 60 percent higher than in the last gubernatorial-year election. “We’ve seen a steady stream of in-person voters, and absentee by mail is also much higher,” Lindberg said. The total number of active registered voters in the county stands at 145,982 for the general election, up from 137,143 four years ago – partly a reflection of Arlington’s population growth in recent years, partly due to voter-registration initiatives by local political parties, mainly the dominant Democrats. What will total turnout be? Definitely

smaller than last year’s presidential election and definitely larger than the anemic totals during constitutional-officer years. Beyond that, it could be hard to tell – and absentee-voting levels may not provide a good yardstick for prognosticators. “While, in the past, absentee voting has often been an indicator of turnout, we really don’t know at this point whether this enhanced absentee interest is a significant indicator of increased interest for Election Day,” Lindberg said. Polling places will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 7. Election officials advise those who plan on voting that day to (a) check to ensure their voter-registration status is correct by going to www. vote.virginia.gov; (b) consider voting in the middle of the day, when there is less of a crunch; and (c) remember to bring with them any form of photo-identification acceptable to the state government for voting purposes. In addition to statewide races for governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general, Arlington voters will select a new County Board member from among contenders Erik Gutshall, Audrey Clement and Charles McCullough, and a new School Board member from a ballot that includes Monique O’Grady, Mike Webb and Allison Dough. House of Delegates seats also are on the ballot.

Our View: One Last Look at Decisions on the Ballot “Uninspired” may be the word that best describes the 2017 election in Virginia. Sitting at the top of the political pyramid, major-party gubernatorial candidates Ralph Northam and Ed Gillespie are solid but certainly have not been able to sustain a high level of charisma while slogging across Virginia’s highways and byways in their quest to succeed Terry McAuliffe in the Governor’s Mansion. Meanwhile, at the local level, Democrats are set to run the table once again, as the voters are likely to send Erik Gutshall to the County Board to succeed Jay Fisette; give Monique O’Grady a victory and a seat on the School Board; and return incumbents Patrick Hope, Alfonso Lopez, Rip Sullivan and Mark Levine for additional two-year tours of duty in Richmond. With Election Day around the corner (hallelujah), here are reminders of our selections and justifications: u County Board: We traditionally have had nice things to say about independent Audrey Clement, but her multiple runs for office without getting close to a majority, and her inability to put together a viable campaign team and raise funds, leave her caricatured by opponents as a political gadfly. Time to call it a day on the runs for political office. Charles McCullough came out of relative obscurity as an independent candidate, attempting to position himself to the left of the existing political power structure on social-justice and economic-fairness issues. McCullough lacks civic-engagement bona-fides, but should be able to pick them up in coming years if he remains engaged in the public arena. But if McCullough’s desire is ballot-box success, why run as an independent in a county so thoroughly dominated by Democrats? Erik Gutshall, the Democratic nominee, has experience in the aforementioned civic arena, and his experience as a small-

business owner who has dealt with the challenges of government interaction is a bonus. He’s been somewhat on cruise control since winning the Democratic caucus in June, but he should win handily and, in our view, deserves the job. We support Gutshall. u School Board: Monique O’Grady did what no one (in our memory) had done before in Arlington politics: She knocked off an incumbent in a nominating/endorsement process, defeating two-term School Board member James Lander to move on to the general election. O’Grady ran an effective, spirited, focused campaign to win the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s nod, and has plentiful experience in the public-education arena. Her opponents – Mike Webb and Allison Dough – have not made the case they would better serve the public. Our pick is O’Grady by a mile. u House of Delegates: Del. Alfonso Lopez (D-49th) is being challenged by Republican Adam Roosevelt, who had not put together the campaign infrastructure, community résumé, campaign-finance capability or power on the stump to suggest he will be a viable alternative to Lopez on Election Day. We go with the incumbent. Dels. Patrick Hope (D-47th) and Rip Sullivan (D-48th) are unopposed and inhabit safe districts. They have provided quality service to constituents and the commownealth as a whole. We support Hope and Sullivan for new terms. Del. Mark Levine (D-45th) won our endorsement earlier in campaign season, and has done nothing to endanger it since then. But boy, from the whispers in our ears from others in the political establishment – in and out of elected office – there are some who really do not like Levine’s brand of political showmanship. But he’s unopposed and has done enough over the past two years that we will give him our nod. We go with Levine.

Northam Is Most Qualified, Honorable Editor: I found your endorsement of Ed Gillespie for governor in the Oct. 26 issue to be not only distasteful and inaccurate, but frankly biased and based on erroneous messaging. Hiding your head in the sand and writing that “Virginia’s gubernatorial campaign has been refreshing” will not make Gillespie’s mudslinging ads go away. Gillespie can’t run on policy or substance, so he is falsely attacking Ralph Northam about sanctuary cities (there

are none in Virginia), enabling MS13 (he is not), while Gillespie is the candidate given an A+ rating by the National Rifle Association. Gillespie supports the keeping Confederate statues as symbols of “our heritage” despite the fact that he is not a Southerner, but rather born and raised in New Jersey. Northam is standing up for decency and historical accuracy, and has had four years of experience as lieutenant governor – while Gillespie was working as a Washington lobbyist.

Gillespie hopes to win by attaching himself to the alt-right and cloaking himself in filth. He shows himself to be a divider, as is the president he is attaching himself to – and apparently as is the Sun Gazette. Ed Gillespie would be bad for Virginia. Hopefully your readers will ignore your endorsement and vote for Ralph Northam for governor. He is the most qualified and the most honorable and honest man running. Angela Aiello Caron Arlington

Editor: Before the upcoming election, every Virginian should know that approximately 747,000 of their fellow residents have too much income to qualify for Medicaid and too little income to qualify for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. I see this as a moral failure of our House of Delegates, which in April voted against expanding Medicaid to

address this gap. Republicans claim that expanding Medicaid would be fiscally irresponsible. Individuals and families caught in the middle of this income gap must make difficult choices regarding work, rent, food, gas and health care. Living in this space is demeaning, demoralizing and very stressful. Our fellow Virginians deserve better. Do the right thing and vote out those

members in the House of Delegates who did not support Medicaid expansion. That way, all of us can sleep with a clear conscience. Sue Lang Arlington

Upgrades Come in Phases at Reagan National Airport Even as Washington Metropolitan Airports Authority officials embark on major changes inside Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, they are glancing ahead to the next challenge: How to configure and modernize a roadway network that is hemmed in on all sides. “We do have some plans and some concepts . . . to see where we can bring some relief,” Margaret McKeough, the authority’s chief operating officer, said during an Oct. 24 briefing to Arlington County Board members. McKeough said the process of determine how to rejigger the road network currently is in the environmental-analysis stage, which could take a year. But, she said, the matter will have to be addressed sooner rather than later. “Our roadways are very, very challenged,” McKeough said. The landlocked Reagan National parcel totals just 800 acres, compared to 3,600 at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport and a whopping 12,000 at Washington Dulles International Airport, and has precious little open space. (But it could be worse: La Guardia Airport in New York sits on just 680 acres, while Chicago’s Midway operates on just 640.)

Planning for the road expansion comes as the Airports Authority is ramping up a billion-dollar upgrade to the 76-yearold airport, the biggest makeover since its Terminal B/C complex opened 20 summers ago. Among the key components: creation of a commuter terminal on the north side of the tarmac and construction of a new Transportation Security Administration security hub. For travelers, “there are going to be impacts” during construction, McKeough said, but suggested they would kept to a minimum when possible. “A lot of work will be done at night . . . so we can keep continuity of operations,” she said. Reagan National served a record 23.6 million passengers last year, and is on track to surpass that figure in 2017. Beyond its close-in location, the airport’s small physical footprint may in fact be its biggest asset for travelers. “There’s not much wasted space,” said County Board Chairman Jay Fisette, who proclaimed National (Democrats tend to leave off the “Reagan”) as his favorite airport. “It all works,” Fisette said of the facilities. “You get where you’re going so much faster than at other airports.” – Scott McCaffrey

$2.7 Billion in Cash Will Pile Up for N.Va. Transportation Projects Question: What will last nearly 70 years, totals almost $2.7 billion in revenue and is set for approval this week? Answer: A framework agreement dividing up funding for government transportation projects from the eight-mile I395 Express Lanes extension to run north to the D.C. line. As part of the agreement between the Virginia state government and Transurban, which is building and will operate the I-395 toll lanes, the latter will provide the former an annual payment starting at $15 million and escalating each of the succeeding 67 years, to serve as a concession fee. The state government, in turn, will pass the funding on to the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission and Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission, which will use it to fund local transportation projects in the

Virginia Railway Express Moves Forward on Move in Crystal City SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Acknowledging that Arlington County Board members aren’t yet fully on board, the panel overseeing Virginia Railway Express (VRE) has voted to move forward on a plan to relocate the passenger platform in Crystal City. VRE’s operations board on Oct. 20 ratified the selection of “Option 2” – east of Crystal Drive between 18th and 20th streets south – that had been recommended by staff for an expanded passenger area. The vote was unanimous and included the support of Arlington County Board Vice Chairman Katie Cristol, who said support for Option 2 did not conflict with the County Board’s action a month before. In September, the Arlington board declined to endorse Option 2, instead asking for more study of it and another alternative that would place the station near 23rd Street South, several blocks south of Option 2. Residents of condominium units near Option 2 rallied to oppose the location, citing pollution, noise and other concerns. The staff of Arlington County Manager Mark Schwartz supported Option 2, as did the Arlington Chamber of Com-

merce. In their September vote, Arlington officials acknowledged that Option 2 was the preference of VRE officials, and also acknowledged that there is not money in the pipeline to fund studies for multiple locations. During the September meeting with Arlington’s leadership, VRE officials promised to come back with more specifics on a number of points raised by the community and County Board members. VRE officials are seeking to construct a new station/platform area to allow for longer trains to accommodate growth. Each of the three new locations that had been under consideration also allows for two tracks, rather than the current one. The rail system is operated by the Potomac and Rappahannock Transit Commission and the Northern Virginia Transit Commission, with its operating board made up of officials from the various jurisdictions. Using trackage owned by CSX, VRE runs commuter service from points west and south into Alexandria, Arlington and the District of Columbia weekday mornings, then back out in the afternoon. The Sun Gazette is the community’s source for news and information, just as it has been since way back in 1935.

Arlington Notes II ALLIANCE FOR HOUSING SOLUTIONS ANNOUNCES AWARD RECIPIENTS:

The Alliance for Housing Solutions has announced that the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN), the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing (APAH) and the Westover Civic Association will be jointly honored with the ninth annual Ellen M. Bozman Affordable Housing Award. The presentation will take place at a ceremony slated for Dec. 3 at 6:30 p.m. at Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington. The recipients “are being honored for their collaboration toward preserving housing affordability in the historic Westover neighborhood,” the Alliance for Housing Solutions said in announcing the award. “There is much more work to be done in Westover and other areas of Arlington and nearby communities, and the process of preserving affordable rents with today’s tools is far from ideal,” the organization said. “Even so, the level of community support and collaboration that took place to preserve critically important affordable-housing options in Westover is something [the alliance] is proud to honor and encourage.” The award is named in honor of the late Ellen Bozman, who served 24 years on the Arlington County Board and was a founder of the Alliance for Housing Solutions.

Compared to the other Arlingtons across the nation, Northern Virginia’s A-town is the reigning king (or queen, or non-genderCOUNTY specific monarch) when it NOTES comes to parkland accessibility. That’s according to the Trust for Public Land, which has put out a new listing ranking communities based on the availability of a park within a 10-minute walk. At 99-percent accessibility, Arlington (Va.) edged out Arlington (Mass.), which recorded 97 percent. Others in the ranking included Arlington Heights, Ill. (89 percent); Arlington Heights, Ohio (84 percent); Arlington, Texas (56 percent); Arlington, Wash. (40 percent); and Arlington, N.Y. (15 percent). Data for Arlington (Tenn.) and several others are not yet available. A total of nearly 9,700 communities, representing 67 percent of the U.S. population, are included in the survey, which can be found at https://www.tpl. org/10minutewalk. (Figures count public parkland as well as private parks that are generally acces-

sible to the community. Golf courses, homeowners’-association land and cemeteries are excluded.) County Board Chairman Jay Fisette said Arlington ranks sixth out of the top 100 largest communities in the rankings in the percentage of residents within an easy amble of a local park. There are several areas in northwest Arlington and the southern part of the county that do not meet the criteria. “We’re now working on those gaps, establishing strategies” to fill them in, Fisette said. Plan to Resurrect Arlington Mill Farmers’ Market to Be Considered: The first effort fell short of expectations, but the Arlington County Board soon could authorize another try at a farmers’ market at the Arlington Mill Community Center. The Columbia Pike Revitalization Organization briefly inaugurated such a market in August 2014, but did not attract a large enough following to maintain a large corps of vendors. The market closed in October 2014, and the use permit allowing it lapsed in July 2016. County Board members in mid-November are slated to consider a new use permit that would allow for the resurrection of a market in the spring of 2018. According to the applicant, the market is expected to operate on Saturday mornings, rather than Wednesday afternoons as was the case in its previous incarnation. The proposal “is strongly supported by the surrounding community,” Nicole Bolling of the county government’s Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development said in a memo to County Board members. The new use permit is slated to be considered at the County Board’s Nov. 18 meeting. Cemetery Proprietors Lauded as Centennial Arrives: Arlington County Board members on Oct. 24 honored Columbia Gardens Cemetery, which is observing its centennial year. The 38-acre burial ground and parkland is “a wonderful natural area . . . it’s absolutely beautiful,” said County Board Chairman Jay Fisette, who lives nearby in Ashton Heights. The cemetery, which has been operated by the same family for four generations, was conceived in 1914 and opened in 1917 along what is now Arlington Boulevard. From the start, it was noted as much for its landscape design as its intended purpose as a final resting place. Among those interred in the cemetery are U.S. Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia (1917-2010); George Saegmuller (1847-1934), the inventor of a number of astronomical instruments whose mansion on Little Falls Road is now home to the Edward Douglass White chapter of the Knights of Columbus; and Margaret Brewster (1930-2013), the first female general officer in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Local Region Falls Short in Its Quest to Secure ‘22 Gay Games It’ll be Hong Kong, not the Washington region, that will play host to the 2022 Gay Games, a once-every-four-years event that draws 15,000 athletes and pumps millions of dollars into local economies. The semi-autonomous enclave in China won the competition to host the games over the D.C. region and Guadalajara, Mexico. A formal announcement came Oct. 30 from Paris, which will host the 2018 games. “While we are very disappointed that D.C. was not chosen . . . we extend our congratulations to Hong Kong,” Brent Minor, chair of the Gay Games D.C. 2022 Bid Committee, said in a statement following the announcement. “We are confident that they will be able to present a great Gay Games, and we offer any assistance we can provide to make that happen.” Organizers of the event say it would be expected to bring 80,000 to 100,000 spectators to the host city, with an economic impact of at least $100 million. Exactly what role, if any, Arlington officials had supporting the local bid of the committee remains a question. Late last year, Arlington officials said they had not been contacted to play a formal role, but did lend their support for the bid – which was largely backed by the D.C. city government. Even if only a few of the competitive

events had been held in the county, Arlington did stand to reap economic benefits from an influx of visitors who could have stayed at hotels in the U.S. Route 1 corridor and traveled through Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. A county-government spokesman said Arlington officials did not take part in a trip to Paris the week prior to the announcement, a journey aimed at presenting the region’s case to the organizing committee. The decision to award the event to Hong Kong represents the second time the D.C. region had lost a bid to host the Gay Games. Washington previously was bested by Cleveland, which hosted the event in 2014. The Gay Games began as the Gay Olympics in 1982 in San Francisco. Despite the name, the competition is open to all who wish to participate, regardless of sexual orientation. Arlington was among the communities across the D.C. region that supported a local bid for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games. In 2015, Boston was selected as the U.S. nominee to compete for the Olympics, but that city’s organizing committee later backed out, with Los Angeles stepping in to serve as the U.S. candidate, competing against Paris and Budapest.

Threat of Eminent Domain Raises Some Eyebrows SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

A prudent step for the future, or an irresponsible assault on property rights? The answer varies – significantly – depending on whom you ask. Arlington County Board members on Oct. 24 voted to authorize County Manager Mark Schwartz to use the government’s eminent-domain powers, if needed, to acquire a property in the Nauck-Four Mile Run corridor for bus storage. It was a rare, but not unprecedented, move by the county government to entice – or coerce, depending on your point of view – a property owner to the bargaining table. And it didn’t sit well with the attorney for the owner. “The county’s action sets a bad precedent,” said Jonathan Kinney of the law

firm Bean, Kinney and Korman, who called the government’s behavior “a little bizarre.” Kinney represents Arcland, a D.C.based real-estate firm whose subsidiary owns the properties at 2629 and 2633 Shirlington Road. The county government last year entered into a seven-year lease for the 2.5-acre parcel at 2629 Shirlington Road, where it stores Arlington Transit (ART) buses. Now, the government wants to buy both parcels. Kinney – an Arlington legal powerhouse – didn’t quite say it outright, but implied a lack of faith on the part of government officials. “For some, trust and living up to one’s word is still important,” he told County Board members. An appraisal commissioned by the county government pegged the value of the two parcels at nearly $21 million. If

Arlington uses its legal power of eminent domain to take the properties, the final value will be determined by a judge. The last time the county government publicly threatened to use its eminentdomain power came in 2011, when it announced the desire to acquire a building in the Courthouse area for use as a yearround homeless shelter. Eventually, the Canadian-based ownership group reached an agreement to sell to the county government for a little over $27 million. County Board Chairman Fisette said using state-authorized eminent-domain powers against Arcland would be a last resort. “The county prefers to reach a mutually acceptable agreement,” he said, promising “a good-faith effort” at negotiations. The final vote on moving forward was 4-1, with John Vihstadt in opposition.

Arcland owns several parcels in the vicinity of the two being sought by the county government, and in 2016 proposed a land swap that would have exchanged the sites in question for a portion of a government-owned parcel on North Quincy Street. But county officials, with space at a premium to accommodate growth and the community’s needs and wants, seemed disinclined to move forward on a trade. The decision to threaten use of eminent-domain powers irked a number of property owners in the Four Mile Run corridor, one of the last bastions of property zoned for industrial uses in Arlington. But Fisette counted only one time in his 20-year tenure that the county government had actually gone that route to acquire property, suggesting the threat against Arcland was not the beginning of a trend.

New Men’s Sex Pill Makes Viagra Obsolete Scientific advance made just for older men. Works on both men’s physical ability and their desire in bed. By Harlan S. Waxman Health News Syndicate

getting their hands on it. So what’s all the fuss about?

New York – If you’re like the rest of us guys over 50, you probably already know the truth… Prescription ED pills may work, but they don’t solve all the probems in the bedroom and they are very expensive. Dr. Bassam Damaj, chief scientiﬁc ofﬁcer at the world famous Innovus Pharma Laboratories, explains, “As we get older, we need more help in bed. Not only does our desire fade; but erections can be soft or feeble, one of the main complaints with prescription pills. Besides, they’re expensive… costing as much as $50.00 each.” Plus, it does nothing to stimulate your brain to want sex. “I don’t care what you take; if you aren’t interested in sex, you can’t get or keep an erection. It’s physiologically impossible,” said Dr. Damaj.

MADE JUST FOR MEN OVER 50 But now, for the ﬁrst time ever, there’s a pill made just for older men. It’s called Vesele®. A new pill that helps you in bed by stimulating your body and your brainwaves. So Vesele® can work even when nothing else worked before. The new men’s pill is not a drug. It’s something completely different. Because you don’t need a prescription for Vesele®, sales are exploding. The maker just can’t produce enough of it to keep up with demand. Even doctors are having a tough time

WORKS ON YOUR MIND AND YOUR BODY The new formula takes on erectile problems with a whole new twist. It doesn’t just address the physical problems of getting older; it works on the mental part of sex too. Unlike the expensive prescriptions, the new pill stimulates your sexual brain chemistry as well, actually helping you regain the passion and burning desire you had for your partner again. So you will want sex with the hunger and stamina of a 25-year-old.

THE BRAIN CONNECTION Vesele takes off where Viagra only begins. Thanks to a discovery made by 3 Nobel-Prize winning scientists, Vesele® has become the ﬁrst ever patented supplement to harden you and your libido. So you regain your desire as well as the ability to act on it. ®

In a 16-week clinical study, scientists from the U.S.A. joined forces to prove Nitric Oxide’s effects on the cardio vascular system. They showed that Nitric Oxide could not only increase your ability to get an erection, it would also work on your brainwaves to stimulate your desire for sex. The results were remarkable and published in the world’s most respected medical journals.

THE SCIENCE The study asked men, 45 to 65 years old to take the main ingredient in Vesele® once a day. Then they were instructed not to change the way they eat or exercise but to take Vesele® twice a day. What happened next was remarkable. Virtually every man in the study who took Vesele® twice a day reported a huge difference in their desire for sex. In layman’s terms, they were horny again. They also experienced harder erections that lasted for almost 20 minutes. The placebo controlled group (who received sugar pills) mostly saw no difference. AN UNEXPECTED BONUS: The study results even showed an impressive increase in the energy, brain-power and memory of the participants.

SUPPLY LIMITED BY OVERWHELMING DEMAND “Once we saw the results we knew we had a game-changer said Dr. Damaj. We get hundreds of calls a day from people begging us for a bottle. It’s been crazy. We try to meet the crushing demand for Vesele®.”

New men’s pill overwhelms your senses with sexual desire as well as firmer, long-lasting erections. There’s never been anything like it. VESELE® PASSED THE TEST “As an expert in the development of sexual dysfunction, I’ve studied the effectiveness of Nitric Oxide on the body and the brain. I’m impressed by the way it increases cerebral and penile blood flow. The result is evident in the creation of Vesele®. It’s sure-fire proof that the mind/body connection is unbeatable when achieving and maintaining an erection and the results are remarkable” said Dr. Damaj.

HERE’S WHAT MEN ARE SAYING • I’m ready to go sexually and mentally. • More frequent erections at night and in the morning. • I have seen a change in sexual desire. • Typically take 1 each morning and 1 each night. Great Stamina, Great Results! • An increased intensity in orgasms. • My focus (mental) has really improved… Huge improvement. • Amazing orgasms! • I feel more conﬁdent in bed.

HOW TO GET VESELE® This is the ﬁrst ofﬁcial public release of Vesele® since its news release. In order to get the word out about Vesele®, Innovus Pharma is offering special introductory discounts to all who call. A special phone hotline has been set up for readers in your area to take advantage of special discounts during this ordering opportunity. The discounts will automatically be applied to all callers. The Special TOLL-FREE Hotline number is 1-800-769-0354 and will be open 24-hours a day. Limited bottles of Vesele® are currently available in your region. Consumers who miss out on our current product inventory will have to wait until more become available. But this could take weeks. The maker advises your best chance is to call 1-800-769-0354 early.

Police Beat

ASSAULT-AND-BATTERY: n On Oct. 19 at 12:46 a.m., police were called to the 1200 block of South Glebe Road, and determined that, after forcing entry to a victim’s home, a suspect contacted the victim requesting he return to the residence. When the victim arrived, the suspect assaulted and threatened him, police said. The victim was able to convince the suspect to leave the home, and a second altercation occurred outside, police said. The suspect fled the scene prior to the arrival of police. Following investigation, the suspect – 36-year-old Scott Duke III of Arlington – was arrested and charged with strangulation and burglary with intent to commit assault-and-battery. He

Following a verbal dispute, the individuals in the vehicle that had parked left the area and returned, brandishing knives. The suspects made threats before fleeing on foot. There were no injuries. The suspects are described as a black woman and black male, in their 20s. ROBBERY: n On Oct. 25 at 8 p.m., a man was walking in the 4300 block of 4th Street North when he was approached by a male suspect, who demanded his wallet and assaulted him before fleeing.

Remodelers’ Index Posts Another Gain

Featured Property of the Week

A Glorious Half-Acre of Excellence

Showstopper Split-Level Is Located on 5 Acres in Great Falls

Our quest for the best this week takes to some new construction in a sought-after Arlington locale close to Bluemont, where an open floor plan and elegant appointments are designed to showcase gracious living to all who enter. From the custom woodwork to the multi-tiered crown molding and glorious wainscoting, the home was conceived and constructed to exacting standards, and is set to take its rightful place among the most charming on the new-homes market. The property, with more than 6,400 square feet of interior space, currently is on the market, listed at $2,380,000 by Ann Wilson of Keller Williams Realty. Situated on a large lot, north of Wilson Boulevard and set back in the heart of a neighborly enclave, the stately property is entered through a two-story foyer with glimmering chandelier and creative, natural-wood staircase. Highlights of the main level include the chef’s-caliber kitchen that featured top-of-the-line appliances, 24 cabinets (really!) and bonus touches, along with French doors leading to the deck. Another joy: Conveniently connected to the kitchen is the family room. Accentuated by 20-foot ceilings, a heartwarming gas fireplace, a hand-strung beaded chandelier and towering windows, this

room is the perfect blend of elegance and comfort. At the top of the stairs on the second level, you’ll be standing on a princessworthy balcony where you can admire the spectacular Palladian window. Close at hand on this level is the master retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, recessed lighting, twin custom walk-in closets and a spa-like master bath. And this is just the first of four exquisite bedrooms throughout the this level. An extensive recreation space en-

compasses the lower level of the home. Here you will find an extensive kitchen including a marble-topped bar, dishwasher and wine cooler, making it the perfect spot for entertaining. There’s also the home’s final bedroom, rounding out an extraordinary package. The fully-fenced-in backyard is private and sunny with just enough trees to afford you the opportunity to appreciate the seasons. And if swimming is your thing, there is ample space for a pool to be added!

Facts for buyers Address: 856 North Harrison Street, Arlington (22205). Listed at: $2,380,000 by Ann Wilson, Keller Williams Realty (703) 328-0532 Schools: McKinley Elementary, Swanson Middle, Yorktown High School.

The National Association of Home Builders’ (NAHB) Remodeling Market Index (RMI) posted a reading of 57 in the third quarter of 2017, up two points from the previous quarter. The overall RMI averages ratings of current remodeling activity with indicators of future remodeling activity. For 18 consecutive quarters, the RMI has been at or above 50, which indicates that more remodelers report market activity is higher compared to the prior quarter than report it is lower. Among the two components: • Current market conditions increased one point from the second quarter of 2017 to 56. Among its three major components, major additions and alterations waned one point to 53, minor additions and alterations increased three points to 56, and the home maintenance and repair component rose one point to 58. • The future market indicators index rose three points from the previous quarter to 58. Calls for bids increased two points to 58, amount of work rose three points to 56, the backlog of remodeling jobs gained two points to 60 and appointments for proposals increased four points to 59. “Remodelers are seeing higher demand in residential repairs, and expect to be busy well into the new year with jumps in work backlog, call for bids and proposal appointments, likely due in part to the significant damage caused by hurricanes across the southern states,” said NAHB Remodelers chairman Dan Bawden, a remodeler from Houston. “However, the ongoing labor shortage is constraining how quickly the repairs can be completed.” Remodelers are finding it more difficult to find skilled labor; more than 90 percent of respondents stated that there is a shortage of finish carpenters. This is a significant increase from the third quarter of 2013, when only 44 percent of respondents reported a shortage of finish carpenters. “In addition to the labor shortage, the cost of materials is becoming a pressing issue for remodelers,” said NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz. “Both of these issues are constraining remodelers’ ability to complete projects in a timely and cost-effective manner, especially moving forward after natural disasters.” For the full RMI tables, see the Web site at www.nahb.org/rmi.

Yorktown Boys Have Highest Team Finish

Dave Facinoli

A Staff Report

A trio of third-place finishes were the highlights for Arlington runners at the Oct. 26 Liberty District meet. Individually, Washington-Lee High School juniors Jonny Jackson and Eva CROSS COUNTRY SmithPerry were third in the boys and girls races, respectively, and team-wise, the Yorktown Patriots were third in the boys meet. The competition was held on the 2.98-mile course at Burke Lake Park. Jackson had a strong finish over the final mile to move up a few places, finishing in 15:55. Smith-Perry ran the course in 18:32. The Yorktown boys had a strong pack of runners, with four in a row finishing 11th through 14th. Bowen Shuttleworth was 11th, followed by Gavin Middleton, Reece Shuttleworth and George Karamitsos. The Washington-Lee boys placed fifth. In the girls race, W-L was fourth and Yorktown fifth. Continued on Page 23

W-L, Wakefield Win; Yorktown Falls From First DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Arlington’s three high school football teams combined for a 2-1 record in Oct. 27 action, with the Washington-Lee Generals defeating the host McLean

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP Highlanders, 21-0, in Liberty District action and the Wakefield Warriors ending a losing streak with a 34-28 win over the host Stuart Raiders in a National District contest. The win upped the Generals’ record to 2-7 overall and 2-2 in the league, as McLean remained winless. Wakefield improved to 3-6, 1-3. In its victory, Washington-Lee led 22

14-0 at halftime, and could have had a bigger lead but cost itself with mistakes. The Generals survived four turnovers in the game. Generals’ quarterback Ryan Dodds threw a pair of touchdown passes totaling some 58 yards to Liam McBride, and Will Murphy had a six-yard touchdown run to cap an 84-yard drive. “There was good blocking on the line and a wide open lane,” Murphy said of his touchdown run. That line consisted of Owen Potts, Gabriel Matteson, Ritavash Chowdhury, Yosef Sendek and Michael Mockler. McBride said he was uncovered on one of his touchdown catches. “It was a go route and they had one

safety who followed the tight end,” McBride said. Daquoi Moore was W-L’s leading rusher with 74 yards. Casey Teter kicked three extra points. Dodds was 13 of 24 for 208 yards. Will Schmidt caught five passes and Montgomery four. “Dodds had some good plays,” Washington-Lee coach Josh Shapiro said. On defense, Will Montgomery had an interception. The Generals played without twoway starting standout Larry Carpenter, who was injured. “Our seniors have played well this season, players like Larry Carpenter,

At a couple of those fields, the volume is considerably louder, but not from the spectators. It’s from the constant road noise from nearby busy thoroughfares. Top of the list: Marshall High in Falls Church and Washington-Lee in Arlington. A few yards beyond the west end zone of the Marshall field is the Capital Beltway, which just happens to be one of the busiest spots on the road. Whether it’s an afternoon or evening event, that constant grind of the Beltway traffic is endless and easily heard on the field. At times the noise makes it difficult to hear the stadium’s public-address announcers, who learn to adjust their speaking volume. When traffic is at a near-standstill on the Beltway, which it often is on that spot at those hours, the noise distractions lessen. Marshall players and regulars at the stadium are accustomed to the racket. It’s basically white noise to them. To others, it’s an adjustment. Earplugs aren’t needed, like at NASCAR races, but there is some getting used to. There are three roads that surround the Washington-Lee field – busy Washington Boulevard just feet beyond the south end zone, and the not-as-busy Stafford and Quincy streets to the west and the east, respectively. The clatter produced from Washington Boulevard traffic isn’t so much that constant grind like from the Beltway, but more from honking horns, sirens, squealing brakes and skidding tires. Sometimes there will be a smartaleck remark shouted out the window of a passing motorist like “fumble” or “throw the ball.” All of the noises are always there, no matter which field or sports. They have become part of the events at Marshall and Washington-Lee.

With Late Surge, O’Connell Junior Wins League Title DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

The Bishop O’Connell girls weren’t able to extend their long winning streak in 2017 CROSS COUNTRY the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship meet, but the high school cross country program still had a winner at the Oct. 28 event. O’Connell junior and first-year cross country runner Max Greczyn won the boys race in 16:09, outdueling secondplace Gavin McElhennon of Gonzaga (16:13) as the runners traded the lead over the final two miles of the Bull Run Regional Park course. Greczyn made the final pass in the last few yards for his fourth victory of the season, helping his team place third. “I faked being exhausted at one point when he went past me, then I passed him back,” Greczyn said. “I made some mistakes in the race, but things worked out the way I wanted.” One of those mistakes was briefly taking a wrong turn and losing some ground. “I yelled at myself to make that up. Sometimes that works,” said Greczyn, who had run the course in previous races

this fall. “That made a difference, because I knew what to expect today and where the finish line was.” Greczyn was the first O’Connell boy to win the WCAC meet since 2004. A couple of weeks earlier he won the Arlington County meet, in another duel over the final meters with Washington-Lee’s Jonny Jackson. The other four runners counting in the

Tysheem LeGrand, Aaron Sydnor and Gabriel Matteson,” Shapiro said. “Aaron Sydnor some very good plays at defensive back. When a team is 1-7, it says a lot about the effort when a team keeps grinding.” Wakefield never trailed in its win, as the Warriors ended a five-game losing streak. The game was tied at 21 at halftime, then Wakefield took a 27-21 lead in the second half. Rodney Lee rushed for 138 yards and scored a touchdown to lead the Wakefield offense. Kesean Deshazer added 107 yards rushing and ran for scores of

team scoring for the O’Connell boys at the WCAC meet were Will Becht in 18th (17:48), Andres Penafiel (20th, 17:58), Matt Tillson (25th, 18:11) and Nicholas Slovak (30th, 18:26). Tillson, a senior, was one who convinced Greczyn to join the cross country team and give the sport a try. “We trained together all summer and made a Power-Point [presentation] to-

gether about cross country, then we told him he didn’t have a choice. He had to join the team,” Tillson said. The O’Connell girls had won the past 10 WCAC championships and expected to make a strong bid to start a second decade of dominance. That didn’t work out. O’Connell was third with 76 points, behind winner St. John’s (56) and secondplace Bishop Ireton (61). O’Connell freshman Tess Brinkmann finished second (20:01) and senior Ryley Howard was third (20:01). Cady Hyde of St. John’s won in 19:28. The next finisher for O’Connell wasn’t until Maeve Marsh in 23rd (22:02), followed by Maggi Flood in 25th (22:27), Grace Pulliam (26th, 22:30) and Ginny Brough (27th, 22:30). “I’m so happy with Tess and Ryley and how they ran. They ran their hearts out and did exactly what they were supposed to do,” O’Connell coach Cindy Walls said. “We knew it would be close, because the field was pretty even. There were 20 girls in this race with times within 40 seconds of each other based on other races. We didn’t bring our best race to the table.” O’Connell finishes the season at the Division I private-school state meet Nov. 10 at Woodberry Forest. The O’Connell girls are the defending champions.

SOCCER: The Bishop

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: The No. 2 seed

Yorktown Patriots (14-3) lost in the semifinals to the McLean Highlanders in the Liberty Conference tournament. Yorktown had a first-round bye. n The Washington-Lee Generals (11-7) defeated Herndon, 3-0, then lost to the top-seed Langley Saxons, 3-0, in the semifinals of the Liberty Conference tournament. Both W-L and Yorktown advance to region-tourney play.

The Bishop O’Connell Knights enter the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference tournament with a 14-12 record and ranked No. 5 in the state’s Division I private-school poll. O’Connell has a 5-11 conference record, and was scheduled to play Paul VI Catholic in the first round. The Knights finished second in the tournament last year, then went on to win the Division I private-school state championship.

10 and eight yards. Wakefield quarterback Cason Poythress had an accurate game passing. He was 16 of 19 passing for 204 yards and threw two touchdown passes. They went to David Baron for 15 yards and Lamont McDowell for seven. Luis Pinto kicked four extra points. Baron caught five passes for 67 yards, Lincoln Calfee three for 54, James Clark three for 14, McDowell two for 28 and Lee two for 13. On defense, Deshazer had an interception, a fumble recovery and some key tackles, and Khyree Johnson made the tackle to end the game with Stuart on the Wakefield 37-yard line. n In an Oct. 27 showdown for first place in the Liberty District, the visiting South Lakes Seahawks (8-1, 4-0) took

over sole possession of the lead with a 52-14 rout of the Yorktown Patriots (7-2, 3-1). The loss snapped Yorktown’s four-game winning streak. South Lakes led 21-0 at the end of the first quarter, was in front 35-14 at halftime and 38-14 after three periods. “They were a lot better than I thought they were, and they dominated us at the line of scrimmage,” Yorktown coach Bruce Hanson said. “We couldn’t get anything going, and they mixed it up well on defense.” Yorktown’s touchdowns came in the first half on a 75-yard pass from Grant Wilson to Davis Patterson, then a 13yard Wilson to Tanner Wall pass. Adam Luncher kicked two extra points. Wilson was 6 of 12 passing for 116 yards and Will Porter 3 for 6 for 37. Pat-

terson had three catches for 99 yards, Jack McCool two for 17, Tanner Wall two for 16 and Porter one for 20. Adrian Alvarez had 92 yards rushing for Yorktown. For South Lakes, Spencer Alston had 297 yards rushing, 58 receiving and returned an interception 60 yards. n The Bishop O’Connell Knights (18) lost to visiting Fork Union, 30-7, Oct. 28 in high school football action. O’Connell’s touchdown came late in the game on a 65-yard pass from Vince Pizzano to Bradley Magee. The Knights conclude their season at home on Saturday, Nov. 4 at 1 p.m. against the Paul VI Catholic Panthers (3-6) in a big rivalry game. Dave Steinbacher contributed to this story.

Whitehouse in fourth (18:35). For W-L, Anna Harpel was 11th (19:30) and Caitlin Cunningham 15th (19:49). n In the National District meet Oct. 26 at Burke Lake Park, Wakefield High School’s Kareena Stowers was eighth

in the girls race, and in the boys race, Wakefield’s Amanuel Haileselassie was seventh. The Wakefield boys placed sixth and the girls did not have enough runners to have a team score.

The top four teams in each of the district rraces and the top 15 individual runners advance to regional competition. Region races are being held this week.

O’CONNELL

O’Connell Knights began the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference tourney this week as a hot team with a 9-3-3 overall record and a six-game unbeaten streak, including four straight victories. Recent wins came over The Heights, 4-2, McNamara, 4-0, Paul VI Catholic, 2-0, and St. Mary’s Ryken, 1-0. n The Bishop O’Connell girls began the tournament struggling a bit with three straight losses.

Tax Bills Continued from Page 1

But economic factors outside the residential-real-estate sphere could conspire against a cut in rates. County officials are anticipating declines or very limited growth in other segments of the real-estate world: office buildings, hotels and apartments. Assessed valuations of condominiums are expected to rise, but slightly. Without assessment increases in those sectors of the market, it could be difficult for County Board members do the favorite thing of politicians everywhere – vote for a tax-rate cut – and potentially could force them to raise the rate to cover a pos-

parking availability. Despite the shrinkage in venues and overall seats, government staff have concluded there is enough availability at the remaining municipal performing-arts facilities to accommodate needs that currently exist. The 2012 site-plan agreement left the final decision on the Virginia Square arts space in the hands of the county manager, but elected officials had their say at the Oct. 24 meeting.

sible gap between revenues and expenditures. That’s what board members did earlier this year, when they increased the 2017 real-estate tax rate 1.5 cents per $100 to pay for school and Metro expenses. The funding needs of those two areas are likely to remain significant in coming years – the county school system continues to see growth in the student body, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority is trying to rebuild its aging and ragged infrastructure. County Board members have said their willingness to fund short-term increases to the Metro system does not equate to a bottomless pit of taxpayer cash, and Schwartz told County Board members he believes the haggard transit agency will be able to make the improvements needed to

win back riders without busting budgets of local governments. (“Fingers crossed,” County Board Vice Chairman Katie Cristol deadpanned.) County officials also have been pressing their School Board counterparts to ease off the throttle when it comes to spending. In response, the school system has embarked on a study of why its construction costs are so high, and is working on ways to reduce per-student costs that long have been highest in the D.C. suburbs. Schwartz is slated to unveil a draft fiscal 2019 budget in February, which will be followed by three months of reviews before the County Board enacts a final spending plan for the year that starts July 1. In his report to board members,

County Board Chairman Jay Fisette said he had been skeptical of ditching the opportunity for a new performing-arts space, but “I’ve come around” after mulling Schwartz’s reasoning. Fisette suggested that the county school system has “substantial” arts venues in its buildings that could be used as needed to complement government-run spaces. “These are all community facilities,” he said. It remains an open question whether the county government will ever see any of the $1.5 million. If the project is scrapped and the developer (or another) comes in with another plan, the 2012

site-plan agreement will be moot and “we start from scratch negotiating community benefits,” Fisette said. If the cash does materialize, one elected official said she wanted the funding retained for arts programming, not siphoned away for other uses. “There is a real need for arts facilities,” County Board Vice Chairman Katie Cristol said, suggesting it would be “a breach of trust” with the arts community to direct the funding in other areas. Schwartz didn’t directly address that, but said he did want the funding to be used for something in the Virginia Square corridor, rather than elsewhere in the county.

Schwartz said he expected Arlington’s office-vacancy rate to hover around 18 percent over the coming year, with the departure of the National Science Foundation in Ballston partially offset by the arrival of Nestlé in Rosslyn. Arlington’s occupancy rate, once the envy of the region, has reached historically high levels, owing in part to competition from across the metropolitan area and in part to changing workplace environments that require less space per employee than they used to. While taxes on commercial and residential property bring in the bulk of Arlington’s local tax revenue, there are other taxes that augment the bottom line of a budget that now totals more than $1.2 billion a year.
