GARVEY, BEYER WIN; BONDS PASS
No Surprises as Democrats RUN THE TABLE IN ARLINGTON RACES SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
Even as all eyes were on the presidential race Tuesday night, Arlington voters also rendered verdicts on races and issues closer to home Tuesday. There were no surprises in end result: Democratic County Board Chairman Libby Garvey won a second four-year term, taking 70 percent of the vote in a victory over perennial candidate Audrey Clement, while School Board candidates Nancy Van Doren and Tannia Talento were unopposed. County voters also supported all four local bond referendums on the ballot – providing new funds for schools, parkland, community infrastructure and transportation – with support averaging about 75 percent per bond issue. U.S. Rep. Don Beyer’s bid for a second two-year term in Congress proved an easy night; Beyer won about 67 percent of the Arlington vote against Republican Charles Hernick (29 percent) and independent Julio Gracia (4 percent), about his same margin of victory district-wide. Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton garnered 73 percent of the Arlington vote to a scant 19 percent for Republican Donald Trump, with thirdparty and independent candidates trailing. Figures are unofficial and do not include absentee ballots, which were still being counted at 9:30 p.m. Turnout across Arlington was more than 80 percent of active voters in many precincts, according to election officials.

Winners included (clockwise from upper left) U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th), County Board Chairman Libby Garvey, School Board Chairman Nancy Van Doren and School Board candidate Tannia Talento.
Veteran Arlington Democratic political activists Richard and Jean Barton showed where their loyalties were during the Arlington Senior Democrats’ monthly luncheon in late October. Democrats easily won all local races in Arlington, but as of press time on Tuesday night, the presidential race remained too close to call.
Candidates, Parties Hustle for Votes Up to Last Minute SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
The week leading up to Election Day represented a last-minute flurry of local campaign activity. And in the words of an Elvis Presley song, Arlington’s candidates and political parties all seemed to be making the same pitch to the public: “I ain’t greedy, baby – all I want is all you got.”
Perhaps sensing extra votes would be needed to head off support for Donald Trump downstate, the chair of the Arlington County Democratic Committee in the waning days of the campaign called on Arlington to roll up 100,000 votes for Hillary Clinton in the county. “I think we can do that. I think so,” party chairman Kip Malinosky said Nov. 2, as he urged Arlington Democratic ac-
tivists to continue beating the bushes for every possible voter. His goal represented an aspiration bordering on stratospheric: The existing Arlington record for a presidential candidate was set in 2012 by Barack Obama with 81,269 votes. Arlington Democrats this year exContinued on Page 25

The 395 Express Lanes Extension Project
Providing new travel options and improving congestion on I-395 The 395 Express Lanes will give all drivers a new option for a faster, more predictable trip during rush hour. Drivers traveling alone will have a choice when they need a quicker trip – for example, to make a meeting on-time or to pick up children from day care. By extending the 95 Express Lanes for eight miles north to the D.C. line, the 395 Express Lanes will reduce congestion and increase capacity by adding an additional HOV lane to make three reversible lanes on I-395. The project will extend the benefits and travel options of the 95 Express Lanes farther north. Drivers in the regular lanes will benefit, too. As some travelers choose to pay a toll on occasion to travel the Express Lanes, they free up space in the regular lanes, relieving congestion and reducing travel times.

Teens Rap Adults’ Behavior in Boundary-Change Effort SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
Arlington high-school students appear to be paying close attention to swirling debates over changes to school boundaries the community’s adults are engaged in, and are not liking what they see. “We honestly consider some of the comments made thus far to be an embarrassment,” said Graham Weinschenk, a student at Yorktown High School and vice chair of the countywide Student Advisory Board. In a low-key but almost surgical evisceration, Weinschenk took parents to the woodshed, reminding them to use social media responsibly and telling them to stop pitting the quality of education at one high school against another. “All high schools in Arlington have incredible qualities to offer to students,” he said. “No high school in Arlington is lesser.” It was a theme echoed at the Nov. 3 School Board meeting by Hannah Goldstein, who recently transferred from Washington-Lee High School to Wakefield High School, and said she was happy with the switch. “Wakefield is a warm, welcoming community,” Goldstein said. “People are encouraged to participate.”

School Board Chairman Nancy Van Doren explains how proposed boundary changes fit into the Arlington school system’s plan to address rising enrollment.
Their remarks came as Superintendent Patrick Murphy formally rolled out seven options to reduce enrollment at Washington-Lee High School, the most overcrowded in the county, by sending some future students to Yorktown and Wakefield. School officials will need to move 100 to 200 students who had been slated to attend Washington-Lee to either Wakefield or Yorktown per year for the next few years. “There are solutions out there,” said Linda Erdos, the school system’s assistant superintendent of school and community relations, who has been leading the community process in recent months.

What Our Patients Are Saying “We have been using Duffy Counseling Center now for the last 2 months. My son is such a perfectionist that it was causing him undue stress in his life. The counselor has a very down to earth way of discussing situations without seeming condescending. He is a great listener and when my son walks out from his appointment he always has a smile on his face. They have a way of making a tough situation not seem like its the end of the world. I can see the counselor being ideal for high school and college kids.”

Arlington in 3-Way Tie for Lowest Va. Jobless Rate
Arlingtonians will have to be content with sharing the title of lowest unemployment rate in Virginia for the month. The county’s jobless rate of 2.7 percent for September was lowest among Virginia’s 133 cities and counties, but was equalled by Falls Church and Highland County in a three-way tie at the top, according to figures reported Nov. 2 by the Virginia Employment Commission. Representing 141,159 Arlington residents employed in the civilian workforce and 3,953 looking for jobs, Arlington’s unemployment rate was up slightly from 2.6 percent in August, part of a generally small uptick in joblessness across the region. Among neighboring jurisdictions: Falls Church’s unemployment rate of 2.7 percent was unchanged from a month before; Alexandria’s rate of 3 percent was up from 2.9 percent; the rates of 3.3 percent turned in by both Fairfax and Loudoun counties were up from 3.2 percent; and Prince William County’s rate of 3.6 percent was unchanged. Across Northern Virginia, the non-seasonally-adjusted jobless rate of 3.4 percent was up from 3.3 percent a month before, and represented 1.52 million employed and about 53,000 looking forward. Statewide in September, private-sector employment increase 14,500 jobs to 3.23 percent, while public-sector payrolls decreased by 1,100 jobs to 716,000, according to the Virginia Employment Commis-
sion. The statewide unemployment rate of 4 percent was down from 4.1 percent a month before. “Household employment rose 13,472, or 0.3 percent, after declining the previous six months,” said Ann Lang, senior economics for the Economic Information & Analytics Division of the Virginia Employment Commission. But the number of unemployed also rose, increasing by more than 6,200 Virginians while being offset by increases in the number of people in the workforce. Among Virginia’s cities and counties, the lowest jobless rates were turned in by Arlington, Falls Church and Highland County, followed by Alexandria and then by Madison County (3.1 percent). The highest jobless rates were found in Buchanan County (9.9 percent), Dickenson County (9.2 percent), Wise County (7.9 percent), Tazewell County (7.4 percent) and Petersburg (7.3 percent). Among metropolitan areas, Northern Virginia and Charlottesville had commonwealth-low jobless rates of 3.4 percent. The highest rates were turned in by Kingsport/Bristol (4.7 percent) and Hampton Roads (4.6 percent). Nationally, Virginia had the 17th lowest jobless rate in the commonwealth, tying with Kansas and Maryland. At the top of the list were North Dakota and South Dakota (2.4 percent), New Hampshire (2.6 percent), Utah (2.9 percent) and Colorado (3 percent). High-

Proposal to Make Burial Site an Historic District to Be Discussed
Nov. 12 & 13
A battle pitting historic-preservation advocates on one side and supporters of a Ballston church’s right to redevelop its land on the other will play out for at least a few more months before a conclusion is reached. Arlington County Board members on Nov. 5 voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on the proposal to designate the graveyard at Central United Methodist Church as a local historic site, which would protect it from being subsumed into the church’s new facility, which includes affordable housing. The Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board, in a split vote, earlier rec-
ommended that the parcel be made a local historic site, which would force the church to redraw its development proposal. Under state law, County Board members have the final say. The graveyard dates back 160 years; the church built along Fairfax Drive, was constructed in the 1920s. Church officials already have sought approval from state regulators and the Circuit Court to disinter whatever remains still exist and move them to another burial site. On Nov. 5, they promised not to take any action on that plan until the historicdesignation process plays itself out. – A Staff Report

Highs & Lows ume about planned high-school redistricting? Perhaps it’s in Arlington’s civic DNA to be expressive (a word we have chosen carefully) on issues of community importance. That’s laudable and helps to make Arlington the unique place it is. But when it comes to the proposed boundary changes – which are just a precursor to what likely will be a much more wide-ranging process a few years down the road – it seems many people are getting, as a boss of ours some years back liked to put it, “bulled up and out of control.” Facts are inconvenient things COULD WE ALL PLEASE work as a community to lower the vol- sometimes, but you can’t get THUMBS UP: To the 150th anniversary of the establishment of Lomax AME Zion Church, which traces its roots to the immediate post-Civil War period. The church recently held a celebration honoring its sesquicentennial, and the Arlington Historical Society also took a look at its lengthy and varied history. Happy anniversary! And to other religious, civic or service organizations out there, feel free to let us know about your big birthdays as they arrive.
around this one: Washington-Lee High School is overcrowded (and has been since the new school was built), and there is some excess capacity at Yorktown and Wakefield high schools. Some incoming students are going to have to be moved around to make it all work. There are no bad options among the three schools, and when the time comes, students will settle in comfortably. Robust discussion about school boundaries is a good thing. But it’s veering precariously close to going completely overboard. Everyone needs to take a breath, put things in perspective and step it down a notch.
Moving County Board Meeting Makes Sense Editor: Thumbs up to the Arlington County Board for considering possibly moving its 2017 organizational meeting to Jan. 3, starting at 6 p.m. Soon after attending the 2016 organizational meeting held on New Year’s Day, I wrote the County Board, urging it to calendar the year’s inaugural meeting on a more accessible date and time of day. I disagree with the Sun Gazette’s editorially opposing such a change. There exist numerous compelling reasons to move the meeting away from New Year’s Day: • It would enable a larger number and broader cross-section of residents to attend or at least to watch or listen to
the meeting in real-time. • Many residents typically are still traveling on New Year’s Day, trying to enjoy the last vestiges of year-end celebrations and holidays. • County staff would be able to enjoy a holiday like everyone else. • The date conflicts with an annual holy day of obligation in the Roman Catholic Church. Traditionally, Catholic parishes offer obligatory Masses only during the morning hours of New Year’s Day, directly conflicting with the traditional scheduling of the organizational meeting. There appears to exist only one reason not to move the meeting: enable a limited number of community activists
to preserve a quaint tradition. I support preserving worthwhile traditions. But it seems even more important to continue the progress that recently has been made toward making county government more transparent, accessible and inclusive, encouraging and enabling more residents to engage in it. In this situation, the needs of the many should outweigh the desires of the few. I urge the County Board to muster the courage to try something new and move the organizational meeting away from New Year’s Day, at least on a trial basis for 2017. Michael Grace Arlington
Editor: As many parents are engaged in current efforts to adjust high-school boundaries and balance enrollment, some may have missed the recent launch of Arlington’s innovative new high school, Arlington Tech, which uses rigorous, academic, project-based learning to prepare students for both college and their future careers. Only a few months into its first year, Arlington Tech is providing students with access to a state-of-the-art, lab-based STEM learning experiences. The collaborative, hands-on program cultivates higher-level thinking necessary for success in tomorrow’s emerging
technologies. Arlington Tech prepares learners for careers in leading fields such as aerospace engineering, renewable energy and systems engineering. Similar to H-B Woodlawn, Arlington Tech is considered a “program” by the school system. One hundred freshman will be accepted for the start of 2017-18 school year. Projected plans are to grow the cohort size to 200 students per class by 2019. Applications for the upcoming freshman class admissions lottery will be accepted from through Jan. 31. Please join the Arlington Tech community for a panel discussion and open house on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 7 p.m. The event will showcase how the proj-
ect-based academic high school program delivers rigorous academics in a contextualized and authentic platform. Students in the inaugural class, their parents and Arlington Tech faculty will participate in the panel. Hans Bauman Arlington Bauman chairs the Arlington Tech Advisory Committee.

‘Beat the Clock’? Arlington Aims for Airbnb Regulations SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
The General Assembly will have the final say, but Arlington officials are moving forward – quickly – with plans to impose regulations on homeowners who offer short-term rentals through online sites such as Airbnb. “This has been a big rush-rush,” said Martha Moore, who chairs the planning and zoning committee of the Arlington County Civic Federation, during a presentation on Nov. 1. Moore was not necessarily thrilled by the pace of the proceedings. “I was totally caught off guard by this, as I think all of us in this room were,” she said at the Civic Federation meeting. The proposal by county-government staff will be considered by County Board members in December. If enacted, Arlington would impose a set of rules and restrictions on those offering beds, bedrooms or their whole houses to others for limited-duration rentals. But the regulations could be rendered moot by the General Assembly, which earlier this year passed legislation banning localities from imposing any rules on such rentals. Gov. McAuliffe called a time-out, sending the measure to the Virginia Housing Commission for review, but the matter
is likely to be back in the spotlight when the legislature reconvenes in January. “We are anticipating [lawmakers] will act – we can’t predict what they’re going to do,” acknowledged Deborah Albert of the county government’s Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development, which has crafted draft ordinance changes slated to be considered Nov. 30 by the Planning Commission and Dec. 10 by the County Board. Getting rules enacted now could help Arlington be protected against state legislation, if General Assembly members opt to grandfather localities that already have regulatory plans in place. Charlottesville and Roanoke are among a small number of Virginia communities that already have adopted a regulatory framework. Under the proposal set for consideration by the County Board, property owners would be able to rent out space in their homes for any amount of time, but no individual could rent the same dwelling for more than 30 days per calendar year. “We’re not looking to create another hotel-type situation,” Albert said, promising that the proposal aims to “protect the character of residential neighborhoods.” Technically, short-term rentals inside homes are illegal in Arlington, but county Continued on Page 25

Transportation Officials Emphasizing Prioritization BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer
Northern Virginia is booming with transportation projects, from highway widenings and Metro extension to bus and train service, and more will occur in the near future – but only if backers can show their projects are needed and under sound fiscal management. Virginia Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layne, speaking Oct. 26 at the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance’s 12th annual “What You Need to Know About Transportation” event, said big opportunities exist if officials as-
sess projects’ risk and allocate resources judiciously. The McAuliffe administrator has two overriding concepts for transportation projects, he said: “There are consequences for having limited resources, and necessity is the mother of invention.” “We were going to be good stewards, pick the right projects and take the politics out,” Layne said. “Additional resources shall be earned, not given.” The state’s Smart Scale prioritization process vets projects thoroughly and ensures projects will come to fruition, giving localities and businesses certainty so they can plan effectively, Layne said.

The discussion, held at the Waterford in Fair Oaks, was moderated by Nancy Smith of the Northern Virginia Transportation Alliance. Marty Nohe, a Prince William supervisor chairman of the Northern Virginia Transportation Authority – same acronym but a different group – said his state-backed funding group now has the revenues it needs to take on sought-after projects that will benefit the whole region, not just certain localities. “Traffic jams don’t respect jurisdictional boundaries,” Nohe said. The authority has finished eight of its 79 congestion-relief projects, spending $990 million, Nohe said. Some future endeavors include a $300 million upgrade of the Interstate 66/Route 28 interchange and traction-power improvements along Metro’s Blue Line, which will facilitate the use of eight-car trains, he said. Jim Corcoran, a Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority board member, said the organization’s leadership is focused heavily on safety, financial management and providing high-quality, reliable service.

the bane of commuters, has squeezed three years’ worth of improvements – such as the replacement of 25,000 railroad ties – within just one year, Corcoran said. The top layer of the transit system’s management has been replaced over the last two years and WMATA officials on Oct. 27 were scheduled to deliver their first on-time audit in four years, he said. Metro officials are expecting a $300 million shortfall next year, caused in part by declining ridership, Corcoran said. Fares may have to increase as a result, but agency leaders are determined to provide world-class service while reducing costs, he said. For example, 100-percent healthcare coverage for Metro retirees is not sustainable, he added. Virginia Railway Express now serves about 4.5 million riders and its leadership wants to add capacity during peak times, said CEO Doug Allen. VRE leaders hope to add more and longer trains, lengthen station platforms and increase station parking, he said. VRE needs more money, however, because expenses are outstripping its revenues, Allen said. Buses also are a critical element in Northern Virginia’s transportation mosaic and handle 28 percent of the region’s transit trips, said Kate Mattice, executive director of the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. About 500 buses run by various operators ply the region’s roads daily, Mattice said. Because many commuters travel between jurisdictions, officials are looking at means of reducing bus-travel times, such as by consolidating bus stops and giving buses traffic-signal priority, she said. Helen Cuervo, Northern Virginia district administrator for the Virginia Department of Transportation, trumpeted improvements on the Gloucester and Loudoun County parkways, the widening of parts of Route 1 and new, wider Route 7 bridges over the Dulles Toll and Access roads. VDOT continues to move forward with widening Routes 1 and 7, extending Express Lanes on Interstates 95 and 395 and implementing upgrades on Interstate 66, both inside and outside the Capital Beltway, Cuervo said. VDOT also plans to repave many secondary roads, which “are in pretty rough shape,” she said. Some of the panelists also advocated for upgrading the American Legion Bridge and building another span across the Potomac River northwest from there. State officials are open to the latter prospect, but will let Maryland take the lead, as it has jurisdiction over the river, Layne said. Stewart Schwartz, executive director of the Coalition for Smarter Growth, said instead of building a new bridge, regional planners need to improve land use around Metro stations and reduce the need for vehicular trips. “We can’t build our way out of congestion,” he said.
Experience France
Cannabis Measure Is Slated for Action By Civic Federation Delegates to the Arlington County Civic Federation in December will consider a resolution calling on the General Assembly to decriminalize possession of marijuana. Representatives of the marijuanarights group NORML, which recently was admitted to Civic Federation membership, formally proposed the measure at the federation’s Nov. 1 meeting. The proposal calls for decriminalizing the possession and use of cannabis (as some marijuana-rights supporters prefer to call it) or at least limit enforcement and abolish state penalties related to the loss of driver’s licenses by those convicted of possession. How much chance the measure might have at the Civic Federation remains an open question; some delegates left the meeting rather than sit through the discussion, others openly mocked the idea, while others said they were keeping an open mind. Whether such a resolution would have an impact of the state legislature also is an open question. If this all sounds vaguely familiar, consider this: A panel put together by the governor itself first recommended decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana. The governor was Linwood Holton, and the year was 1969.

Forum Gives Legislators Feedback for 2017 Session SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
On the off chance you haven’t noticed, election season is a time for partisanship and rhetoric across the political spectrum. But some of the harsh words will be dispensed with when members of the Arlington delegation to the General Assembly troupe down to Richmond for the 2017 session starting in January. At an Oct. 25 forum sponsored by the Leadership Center for Excellence and held at GMU’s Founders Hall, members of the delegation said they planned to cooperate with the Republican majorities in
both houses, when possible, on legislation of mutual interest. “It’s incumbent upon me, if I want to get something passed, to work across the aisle. Some of my best friends in Richmond are Republicans,” said Del. Alfonso Lopez (D-49th), one of two state senators and four delegates participating in the inaugural forum, which drew about 50 people. The program took a more intimate format than usual in such gatherings: Attendees heard brief remarks from the lawmakers, then huddled with them in 10minute breakout sessions, rotating to the lawmakers they wanted to see.

The goal, Leadership Center CEO Betsy Frantz said, was to create a dialogue that both the legislators and those attending would find a positive experience. Reviews were good: • “Love the new format – it’s going to be more interactive,” said Del. Rip Sullivan (D-48th). • “Really interesting conversations – way above the average,” said state Sen.

and Marijo Galvin have been honored with the Kiwanis Club of Arlington’s 2016 Community Service Award, for their efforts leading the Edward Douglass White Council Knights of Columbus’s annual Thanksgiving dinner for those in need. The event began in 1984 with 15 people and 40 meals served. The Galvins have led the effort since 2006, and it has grown to 3,000 people being served four tons of turkey, all donated through Catholic parishes and local residents. “The first tenet of the Knights of Columbus is charity,” Thom Galvin said at the Nov. 2 awards presentation. “It’s what you sacrifice to give to others.” Donations of cooked turkeys (20 or more pounds, without stuffing) are accepted the three days prior to Thanksgiving. Volunteers are sought to help prepare, deliver and serve Thanksgiving-day meals. For information on the initiative, see the Web site at www.kofcedw2473.org/activities/events/x_thanksgiving.shtml. Thom Galvin currently serves as deputy grand knight of District 29 Knights of Columbus, a Catholic fraternal and service organization. The Arlington council’s name honors Edward Douglass White, the first Roman Catholic U.S. Supreme Court justice.

SOBERRIDE HELPS KEEP ROADWAYS CLEAR OF DRUNK DRIVERS OVER HALLOWEEN: A total of 166 residents of the
local area used the Washington Regional Alcohol Program’s (WRAP) “SoberRide” service over the Halloween period, rather than risk driving home drunk. “This level of ridership translates into SoberRide removing a would-be drunk driver from the Washington area’s roadways every 33 minutes,” said Kurt Gregory Erickson, president of WRAP. Free cab rides home to potentially impaired adults are offered through the initiative during various holiday periods throughout the year. During the Christmas holiday season, the initiative will be in effect from Dec. 16-31. Since 1998, the program has provided more than 65,000 rides home across the metropolitan area.

Refreshments and a cooking demonstration will precede the event at 6:30 p.m. For information, see the Web site at www.afac.org.

Move of Recycling Center Is on Hold for More Discussion Arlington County Board members have hit the brakes on a proposal to relocate a community recycling center in the southern part of the county. The proposal to move the facility from its current location on Columbia Pike to the Arlington County Trades Center in Shirlington had been set for Nov. 5 approval, but was held up when some leaders in Shirlington questioned the move. County Board member Christian Dorsey said the board and staff will engage in “a full conversation – making sure all questions and concerns are fully understood in the community” in coming weeks. The proposal to move the recycling facility – which allows local residents to drop off a variety of items from glass and metal to cardboard and newsprint – came after complaints that the location at Columbia Pike and South Four Mile Run was attracting the dumping of volumes of materials. The proposal is now slated for consideration at the County Board’s Dec. 10 meeting, with a public hearing to precede the vote. County Board, School Board Looking for Applicants for Joint-Planning Body: The Arlington County Board and School Board are looking for applicants to be part of a new panel, the Joint Facilities
Advisory Commission. The group will provide input on longrange facilities planning for both the county government and school system. “We need people from different backgrounds, experiences and skills to help us make important decisions,” County Board Chairman Libby Garvey said. Liaisons to the committee will be County Board members Jay Fisette and Katie Cristol and School Board members Barbara Kanninen and James Lander, who comprise a newly created joint facilities subcommittee of the elected bodies. The application deadline is Nov. 16; up to 20 at-large members will be appointed. For information, see the Web site at www. arlingtonva.us. Gatherings to Look at Upgrade to Benjamin Banneker Park: A community meeting sponsored by the Arlington Department of Parks and Recreation will look at plans for an upgrade to Benjamin Banneker Park on Monday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. at Tuckahoe Elementary School. A 90-minute tour of the park, looking at proposed upgrades, will be held on Saturday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. The 11-acre park is located at 1701 North Van Buren St. For information about the project, see the Web site at https://projects.arlingtonva.us/projects/benjamin-banneker-parkproject/.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week
Unique and Verdant in Windy Run
A Deep Lot Provides Momentous Opportunities Both Inside and Out
Elections come and (mercifully) elections go, but real estate is eternal. And our quest for the best in the community this week takes us to a lovely, unique and positively gorgeous home just south of Lorcom Lane, an enclave of creative properties set close to what will be revitalized into a new middle school and in the vicinity of the re-energizing Lee Highway corridor. Set on a cul-de-sac, the home is like a present at holiday times: The exterior is wonderfully wrapped, but the real fun awaits when the wrapping is removed and we have the chance to not only explore the elegant and inviting interior, but also the jaw-dropping rear yard – perfect for entertaining both adults and children in style. Wildlife abounds – deer, foxes, chipmunks and squirrels among them – yet the Windy Hill location puts you close to everything from commuter routes to specialty shops. There’s nothing cookie-cutter about the home or its lot; everything is unique, and waiting for the next owner to put his, her or their personal stamp on it. The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,375,000 by Sara Rubida of Long & Foster Real Estate.

Supply Crunch Pushes Prices Upward in Metro Areas Persistent supply shortages throughout the country led to slightly faster home-price appreciation during the third quarter, according to the latest quarterly report by the National Association of Realtors. The report also notes that seven of the 10 most expensive housing markets in the U.S. are in the West, including San Jose, Calif., which had a median single-family-home price of $1 million for the second straight quarter. The median existing single-family home price increased in 87 percent of measured markets, with 155 out of 178 metropolitan areas showing gains based on closed sales in the third quarter compared with the third quarter of 2015. Twenty-two areas (12 percent) recorded lower median prices from a year earlier. There were a growing number of rising markets in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of this year, when price gains were recorded in 83 percent of metro areas. Twentyfive metro areas in the third quarter (14 percent) experienced double-digit increases – unchanged from the second quarter of this year. A year ago, 21 metro areas (12 percent) saw doubledigit price appreciation. Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, says prospective buyers faced a very challenging market during the third quarter. “Mortgage rates around historical lows and solid local job creation created a winning formula for sustained home-buying demand all summer long,” he said. “Unfortunately for house-hunters in several of the top job-producing metro areas around the country, deficient supply levels limited their options and drove prices higher,” especially in the West and South. Sales “sputtered” in the third quarter because inventory could not catch up, Yun said. The national median existing singlefamily-home price in the third quarter was $240,900, up 5.2 percent from the third quarter of 2015 ($228,900) and surpasses this year’s second quarter ($240,700) as the current peak quarterly median sales price. The median price during the second quarter increased 4.9 percent from the second quarter of 2015.

Latest Showdown Over Rules For Towing Set for December SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
Arlington County Board members in December will consider updated rules, regulations and fees related to towing from private property across the county, with some community activists pressing for a more consumer-friendly set of regulations. County Manager Mark Schwartz has recommended that the County Board approve a $25 surcharge on vehicles towed in the evenings (between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m.) or on weekends or holidays. He doesn’t have much choice: Members of the General Assembly are requiring Northern Virginia jurisdictions to do so. The surcharge would be in addition to existing towing fees, which range from $135 to $500 depending on the size of the vehicle. Schwartz also is recommending a number of proposals suggested by the Trespass Towing Advisory Board, including additional signage requirements on lots where towing is allowed, and a slight expansion of the distance from Arlington’s boundaries that a towing-storage lot can be located. The latter proposal is designed to allow for additional competition in the marketplace. County Board members will consider
a proposal to require tow-truck companies to obtain specific authorization from property owners prior to towing any vehicle. That measure failed on a 6-1 vote during deliberations by the Trespass Towing Advisory Board and was not recommended by Schwartz, but was included as an option in the legal advertising. That two-signature requirement – adamantly opposed by the towing industry – is among the changes being sought by the Columbia Heights Civic Association, which has been circulating a petition calling for reforms in towing regulations. Sarah McKinley, vice president of the civic group, said current statutes are weighted too heavily in favor of the towing industry, permitting aggressive and even rogue behavior. “Predatory towing has been an issue along Columbia Pike for a very long time,” she said at the Nov. 1 Arlington County Civic Federation meeting. “It doesn’t really benefit the small-business owners.” Despite anecdotal complaints about towing practices, however, the county government in recent years had documented few problems. Arlington’s towing industry was found in violation of local ordinances on 0.04 percent of tows recorded in 2015, with about the same ratio in the first half of 2016.

Keller Williams Soirée Focuses on Social Safety Net SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer
Two groups that support those facing or threatened with homelessness in Arlington will share nearly $100,000, the proceeds from Keller Williams Realty’s ninth annual “Bridging the Gap” gala. About 300 business and community leaders packed the Clarendon Ballroom Nov. 3 to help raise funds for the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network (A-SPAN) and Bridges to Independence. The two agencies “provide critical services to the most vulnerable in the county,” said Natalie Roy, who chaired the event with Cindy May. A-SPAN and Bridges to Independence are “taking care of all those who need our help,” said U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th), who was honored with the annual “Bridging the Gap Champion Award” by Shane McCullar, CEO of Keller Williams Metro Center. The uptempo celebration included a number of live auctions; at one point, a friendly but spirited bidding war broke out during an auction of a dinner for eight by celebrity chef David Guas. Helping to pump up the bidding, Guas (of Bayou Bakery) promised “a wonderful event of surprises” to be held at the home of local real-estate professional Kathy Fong. “We can do anything,” he said of the
prospective menu. “We’re going to rock it out.” When two bidders battled up to $1,850, then one went to $1,875, Fong convinced Guas to provide two nights, one for each group, effectively doubling the take from the auction item. The event drew a who’s who of Arlington civic leadership, with one notable group excepted: Arlington School Board members that night were meeting to hear proposals for the hot-button issue of high-school-boundary adjustments. (The uncertainty of those boundary changes, along with the fluidity of the presidential race, were reasons that some prospective home-buyers have been sitting on the fence this fall, Roy and May said. But in general, “the market is good,” both said.) Funds raised at the Keller Williams event rotate among social-safety-net groups in Arlington that provide “incredibly transformative results,” said County Board member Christian Dorsey. A-SPAN and Bridges to Independence “give people the skills that they need to rebound,” Dorsey said. He praised the real-estate community for turning out to raise funds. “There are a lot of people who talk the talk, but not a lot who walk the walk,” Dorsey said. Dorsey and other Arlington local officials were joined by members of the state legislature.

The event drew a crowd of 300 to Clarendon Ballroom and raised approximately $90,000 to support the efforts of Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network and Bridges to Independence.
Del. Rip Sullivan (D-48th) encouraged attendees to “contribute something more valuable than your dollars.” “These organizations need your volunteer time,” he said. Del. Alfonso Lopez (D-49th) urged attendees to get active on the state level. “We need you in Richmond . . . being an advocate for the social safety net, fighting
for the issues we all care about,” he said. Revelers also enjoyed the music of the Arlington-based band LyonHeart and bid on auction items ranging from a stay at an Outer Banks beach house to a high-end commuter bike. “Drink up and spend lots of money,” County Board Chairman Libby Garvey told the assemblage.

Teeing Off
The Dilemma of Watching High School Playoff Events What a crazy busy time for local high school sports during the last week to 10 days, creating conflicts of where to go and which teams to watch.
Dave Facinoli
Generals Secure Postseason Berth MATT DELANEY For the Sun Gazette
The Washington-Lee Generals claimed the unofficial Arlington Counchampionship, a FOOTBALL tyfourth consecutive high school football playoff berth and bragging rights over their neighborhood rival Yorktown Patriots with an exciting 14-10 win Nov. 4. With just shy of 40 seconds left in the game, a mere five yards stood between the Generals and an extended season. Quarterback Ricardo Mestre ensured the victory when he darted a pass to running back Larry Carpenter in the corner of the end zone for the go-ahead score. The final whistle soon followed, leading Washington-Lee’s student body to rush the field and embrace their victorious classmates. “We’re going to celebrate the win to get us in. It saved the season,” Washington-Lee coach Josh Shapiro said. Continued on Page 24

Knights, Warriors End in Opposite Directions DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer
What a difference a year made for the Bishop O’Connell Knights and Wakefield WarFOOTBALL riors, who each reversed results from their 2015 high school football campaigns. This fall, O’Connell won its final three games to finish 5-5, a big jump from last year’s 1-9 mark when the Knights lost their final seven contests. O’Connell capped its current season with a 40-3 blowout victory over the host Paul VI Panthers on Nov. 4 in Fairfax between private-school rivals. Wakefield was the Capitol Conference champion and a playoff team a year ago, finishing 8-3 overall and 6-0 in
league play. This fall, a much younger and less experienced group of Warriors had a big dropoff, finishing 2-8, 2-4, with no postseason berth. Wakefield lost to the host Lee Lancers, 33-14, Nov. 4 in its final game. Wakefield took a 7-0 lead, the score was tied at 7 at halftime, then Lee was ahead 33-7 before the Warriors scored the game’s last touchdown. Wakefield quarterback Colton Poythress was 15 yards short of passing for 1,000 yards this season. In the contest, he was 7 of 10 passing for 49 yards. Fred Bowles ran for 111 yards for Wakefield, Rodney Lee for 71 and Poythress for 26. James Clark had two catches for 23 yards. Clark and Lee had touchdown runs, and Nick Still kicked
two extra points. Xavier Taylor and Mingo Peterson had interceptions for Wakefield. In O’Connell’s victory over Paul VI (1-9), Stacy Watts ran for a pair of touchdowns. Others scoring touchdowns for the Knights were Nick Rice on an interception return, To’ren Pride on a kick return early in the game, then Michael Perrales when he picked up a blocked punt and ran for a score in the second half. The Knights led 13-3 at halftime, then pulled away quickly once the second half began. NOTES: O’Connell began this season with an 0-2 record . . . The 40 points were a single-game season high for the Knights . . . The 5-5 overall mark is O’Connell’s fourth in five seasons.

This past weekend brought the final regular-season football games, which included a number of neighborhood-rivalry contests like Washington-Lee against Yorktown, Langley vs. McLean and O’Connell taking on Paul VI. The football playoffs are now set to begin Nov. 11, with a number of local teams participating. In addition, last week brought postseason competition for public and private-schools in cross country, volleyball and field hockey, with games and events at venues all over, on each day of the week, even Sunday. There were region cross country championships held in the afternoon, with volleyball and field hockey matches the same evening, on Nov. 2. The next day brought conflicting contests involving Langley High School teams in championship games played at the same time, but at different schools. The girls field hockey team was in the 6A Region Tournament final at Fairfax High, while in Arlington, the Langley girls volleyball squad was playing for the Liberty Conference tourney title. Fans of both teams were torn as to which contest to attend. Area private school teams also had some conflicting playoff events, including O’Connell, Flint Hill and Potomac School. For example, while Flint Hill was winning a boys conference soccer tournament championship on its campus one afternoon, the girls soccer and field hockey teams were playing tournament contests on the road at the same times. O’Connell’s boys and girls soccer and girls volleyball teams all had tournament-playoff matches at roughly the same times on the same afternoons of Nov. 1 and 3, again creating the dilemma of which to attend.

High School Roundup O’CONNELL GIRLS VOLLEYBALL: The
top seed Bishop O’Connell Knights (324) finished second in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference volleyball tournament, losing to Holy Cross, 3-2, in the championship match. Holy Cross won the final game, 15-8, after O’Connell had won the fourth, 2520, to force a deciding game. The Knights won the second game, 25-21, after losing the first, 25-10. Holy Cross won game three, 25-16. In the match, O’Connell’s Maxine Friedman had 25 kills, 10 digs and three blocks. Sarah Lawler had 20 kills, nine digs and three blocks. Kelley Moriaty ad 40 assists, and Ingrid Bayer had six kills and two blocks. O’Connell was 3-0 in the tournament, defeating McNamara in the first round then St. Mary’s Ryken in the semifinals. Both were by 3-0 scores. The Knights are participating in the
Rivalry
Continued from Page 23 “We started the season 1-4, finished 5-5, beat our rivals, and won the county title. That’s a pretty good gig.” Washington-Lee finished the regular season 5-5 and 4-3 in the Liberty Conference. Next is a Nov. 11 first-round 6A North Region playoff game on the road in Vienna against the No. 2 seed Madison Warhawks (9-1). Washington-Lee is the 15th seed, and lost to Madison, 34-17, on Oct. 28. Yorktown’s season ended at 4-6, 3-4. Three minutes before the Generals’ game-winning touchdown, the Patriots were primed to spoil their rivals’ playoff aspirations. Yorktown quarterback Tanner Wall hit wide receiver Paul Dalzell for a 23-yard touchdown on a fourthand-seven, putting Yorktown up 10-7 after Adam Luncher’s extra point. However, Mestre and company, along with some self-inflicted wounds from Yorktown by way of penalties, set up Washington-Lee’s clinching drive. It was a tough end for the Patriots, who kept their playoff hopes alive last week with a game-saving defensive stop against Langley in a victory. This time Yorktown’s defense didn’t hold up. “They have a good ball club,” Yorktown coach Bruce Hanson said. “We gave them an opportunity there at the end and they capitalized on it.” Overall, it was a chippy, flag-filled contest that struggled to get off the ground offensively. Both Wall and Mestre started the game on cold streaks, with Wall not completing a pass until midway through the second quarter. Mestre had to wait until the beginning of the third quarter to get his first completion, which set up Carpenter’s threeyard touchdown plunge that gave W-L a 7-0 lead with an extra point by Chris Palacios. Prior to their first completions, Mes24

Division I state private-school tournament this week. REGION CROSS COUNTRY: Washing-
ton-Lee High School sophomore Jonny Jackson finished 17th in 15:58 at the boys 6A North Region Cross Country Championships on Nov. 2 at Burke Lake Park. Jackson qualified for the state meet. The W-L boys finished 13th overall. In the girls 6A region meet, Yorktown sophomore Catherine Whitehouse placed 13th in 18:37 to qualify for the state meet. The Yorktown girls were 14th. n At the boys 5A North Region meet Nov. 2 at Burke Lake Park, Wakefield’s Bryce Austin was 23rd (16:28) and Louis Delcore was 52nd (17:08).

tre threw an interception while Wall was sacked three times. Washington-Lee also didn’t record a first down in the first half, while Yorktown moved the ball decently, but only punched in one of their handful of scoring chances. Yorktown put their first points up on a 33-yard field goal from Luncher late in the third quarter. NOTES: Mestre went 5 for 18 for 44 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. Carpenter ran for 67 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes. Nick Miller intercepted one of Wall’s passes . . . For Yorktown, Wall completed 4 of 25; Marc Geinzer ran for 86 yards, Stevie Picot for 40 yards; and Dalzell caught two passes for 35. Davis Patterson and Wall had interceptions . . . The victory snapped Yorktown’s string of 17 straight wins over W-L when the Generals host the annual rivalry game, according to Arlington football historian and Wakefield High announcer Frank Haddock. Hanson was at the helm for the last 16 Yorktown wins during that streak.

ceeded their own goals in terms of voter registration, but “getting them registered is just a part,” Malinosky said. “We’ve got to get them there.” County Democrats were out at Arlington’s 52 polling places at 5:30 a.m. on Election Day, armed with sample ballots and smiles. County Republicans also had ramped up get-out-the-vote efforts in the final two weeks of the campaign, working to fill all precincts with greeters to hand out the GOP sample ballot. Republicans also had been out canvassing neighborhoods in support of their presidential nominee, not angling to win a majority in Arlington, but to get extra votes that might push Trump over the top statewide, picking up the prize of Virginia’s 13 electoral votes. “The days of beating up the working class are over – change is here,” Arlington Republican officials proclaimed on the party’s Web site. “Those who work the hardest will no longer be punished by bad trade deals
Boundaries Continued from Page 3
None of the proposals calls for moving students already at Washington-Lee. In coming weeks, School Board members will have to decide whether they want to also except younger siblings of current Washington-Lee students from any move, as well. To what likely will come as a surprise to no one, many participants in the process have become territorial. Erdos noted that, in an online computer-modeling simulation local residents could engage in to suggest how boundaries could be drawn,

officials estimate as many as 1,600 property owners may be listing their homes with online services. “We know this use is occurring,” said Albert. The county government had received “three or four” complaints about it, she said, but also has received inquiries about the logistics of offering homes for rentals. Albert’s rounds also have included a meeting with county advisory panels, as well as the Arlington Chamber of Commerce. Kate Bates, president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, said her organization had a “great conversation” with county staff on the issue, but had not formulated an official position on the proposal. “While business stakeholders across a range of affected industries offer varying perspectives, there is consensus about ensuring a level playing field,” Bates said.
sending our manufacturing jobs to countries who cheat America,” the Arlington County Republican Committee said. “We will defeat the barbarians of ISIS – we will support our law-enforcement officers, giving them the resources needed to remain safe and protect their communities.” Activity also was busy in local races. Independent Audrey Clement, making her sixth run for County Board, put out a last-week-in-the-race call for volunteers and, in her challenge to County Board Chairman Libby Garvey, pressed for an end to the Democratic dominance in local politics. “One-party rule makes elected officials unaccountable – County Board members can ignore constituents,” she said in a campaign e-mail. “For another thing, it encourages board members to overreach.” Garvey, whose history in elected office (starting with the School Board) goes back two decades, said she put her faith in the electorate to make the right call. “This fall is the 15th time I have appeared on a ballot,” Garvey opined online. “I have sometimes won and sometimes lost, but every time I have accepted the people’s decision and prepared either
to serve or to support the candidate who beat me.” As decision day approached, were local Democrats becoming a tad antsy about the prospect that the presidential race could be far closer than first anticipated? It appears they were. “I had gotten a little relaxed” about the outcome of the Clinton-Trump race, U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) said on Nov. 2, reminding the party faithful of a number of recent Virginia races where Democrats seemed to have things in hand, only to see final results far closer than expected. “Don’t quit,” Beyer told the rank-andfile. “We’ve got to finish, do the best job we can do to get every vote out.” Barbara Kanninen, a county School Board member and one of three chairs of the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s joint campaign for 2016, said she believed her party was ready at the local level. “We kept focused on our plan. We’re possibly more organized than we’ve ever been,” she said. “We are a model for what is happening all over the country.” Local races were foregone conclusions long before the first ballots were cast, with Beyer and the Democratic candidates for
County Board and School Board seen as sure bets for re-election. But hope sprang eternal among those taking on the local Democratic political juggernaut on Nov. 8. Charles Hernick, the Republican candidate running against Beyer, pointed to the Chicago Cubs, which at the time he made his remarks were on the verge their first World Series championship since World War II. “I believe the Cubs can win,” Hernick said on Nov. 2. “I believe I can win.” But, speaking for both sides of the political divide, Hernick also was looking toward the end game. “Who’s ready for this election to be over?” he asked during a presentation before the Kiwanis Club of Arlington, saying contentious national politics was “turning a lot of people off.” Beyer, who was returned by voters for a second term, said his race against Hernick was conducted at a higher standard than the national mud-slinging. “We’ve managed to make it through the entire campaign without saying anything evil about each other,” Beyer said. Find election updates at www.insidenova.com/news/arlington.
about 90 percent of those participating from inside the current Washington-Lee attendance area opted to keep their own home within that boundary. “That’s to be expected,” Erdos said. School Board members are slated to render a decision in early December; some residents have been upset about specific proposals, while others are mad that the process has moved at a rapid pace. “There’s no need for a rush to judgment when we might make a bad situation worse,” said Pete Messman, a resident of Arlington Forest – a community whose students attend both Washington-Lee and Wakefield, and a neighborhood that has seen some of the biggest splits of opinion about various redistricting options.
But other residents said they believed school officials were acting in good faith in moving forward. “I trust staff – any [of the options] could be good,” said Michael Beer, who heads the schools committee of the Arlington County Civic Federation. Beer pressed School Board members to place a high priority on achieving more balanced economic and racial diversity among the three high schools. Board members themselves appears split on how much priority should be given to diversity compared to other matters, like how many students can walk to school rather than require transportation. After a number of work sessions over coming days, the issue will be rejoined
with a public hearing set for Tuesday, Nov. 15 at 6:30 p.m. A final vote is set for Dec. 1. But even that vote, which will impact students starting next fall, is hardly the end. School Board members in 2020 plan to come back with what is likely to be a far more wide-reaching boundary revision that would go into effect two years later, when they expect a new high school to be in place. “This is just the first step in getting us where we need to be,” School Board Chairman Nancy Van Doren said. She encouraged residents to “hold hands and get through this.” Details on the various proposals can be found at www.apsva.us/apsboundaries.
“The question that remains is how to define a ‘level playing field,’ and what steps must be taken to execute this.” To try and stay ahead of the issue, the Civic Federation on Nov. 1 debuted an online survey for member organizations about the issue. It will remain open through Nov. 27 – “we do want to give people time to complete it,” Moore said – with initial findings reported by Nov. 30. Civic Federation members on Nov. 1 peppered Albert with questions ranging from the need for liability insurance to civil-rights concerns. The staff proposal headed to the County Board does not propose imposing a fee on those wishing to rent out their properties, at least for the first year, although homeowners likely would need to get a business license. County staff want the authority to enter properties being rented out, but would only do so if complaints were received, not as a regular occurrence. (Some were not convinced: Arlington County Taxpayers Association president
Tim Wise guffawed when Albert broached both the no-fee and no-inspection proposals.) Bill Braswell, a Civic Federation delegate and veteran activist, reminded the audience that – as a “Dillon Rule” state – localities can’t act on many issues without authorization from Richmond. “We don’t know what the General Assembly is going to do,” he said. Neither do those in the legislature itself. Even state Sen. Barbara Favola (D31st), who sits on the Senate committee that will consider any proposal next year, says the question of renting out homes on a short-term basis is a matter fraught with complications and the potential of unintended consequences. “It’s a real sticky wicket – not an easy thing to do to thread the needle,” Favola said. Favola, who served on the County Board before her elevation to the General Assembly, said Arlington officials were wise to get a plan in the pipeline before the matter returns for discussion in Richmond.
“We can use that, at least as a sample of what local governments are doing,” she said. For information on the proposed ordinance change, see the county government’s Web site at www.arlingtonva.us and search “homestay.”
