Down to Wire for Co. Board Candidates

Vihstadt, de Ferranti Try to Differentiate Themselves as Election Day Approaches SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

As the two candidates for Arlington County Board battle down to the wire, a number of themes have emerged in the race – largely focused

on whether the voter unrest over Democratic leadership that brought John Vihstadt to office in 2014 has subsided enough for the community to return to its traditional, all-Democratic governance structure.

“Values matter, ideas do matter,”

said Democratic challenger Matt de Ferranti, who has been trying in varying degrees to tie Vihstadt to Republicans and Donald Trump, who received a dismal 17 percent of the county vote in 2016. It was by far the worst showing of any major-party

presidential candidate in modern Arlington history.

Perhaps sensing a more docile voter mood this time around, Vihstadt – who was a longtime RepubContinued on Page 14

Local Housing Organization Honors a Native Son SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

He may not be caped, but when it comes to affordable housing, Ron Terwilliger definitely qualifies as a crusader.

“We have a really disturbing, growing crisis – all of us in this country have got to get engaged,” Terwilliger said in accepting the Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing’s (APAH) 2018 “Celebrate Home” honor during a ceremony held Oct. 17 at Clarendon Ballroom.

“You could solve the problem, but there’s not the political courage, the political will in Washington to do it,” said Terwilliger, who grew up in the Arlington Forest neighborhood, graduated from Wakefield High School and the U.S. Naval Academy and went on to become chairman and CEO of Trammell Crow Residential, one of the nation’s largest builders.

“Ron is a legendary multifamily housing developer,” said Bobby Rozen, a member of the APAH board. These days, as an advocate, Terwilliger can be found roaming the halls of Congress, trying to boost afford-

able-housing funding and guide changes in government policy, Rozen said.

It’s a tough slog, Terwilliger acknowledged, since few in Congress even understand the issues involved, let alone show a willingness to advocate for them.

“The action has shifted to the state and local level,” he said, praising efforts by communities like Arlington.

Among those benefiting from local efforts in support of affordable housing is Cynthia Bendt, a Vietnam-era veteran whose life was upended when she lost a

job and ended up living in the Southwest in her truck.

“You learn to survive, but I was afraid all the time,” she recalled.

Bendt moved to Arlington at the suggestion of a daughter, and received help from, first, the Arlington Street People’s Assistance Network and, then, APAH, which provided housing.

“It was like discovering the 21st century all over again,” she said. “I knew I was safe.”

It was those kinds of success stories that led Kevin Yam to support APAH. “We can all play a role in taking care of one another,” said Yam, now the organization’s board chair.

The annual gala raised more than $650,000, a record. AvalonBay Communities covered the cost of the reception, and Bozzuto, JBG Smith and Venable LLP served as gold sponsors.

Panel Focuses on Integration of High-School Sports From the Perspective of Arlington Players, Coaches SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Although he had moved on to college by then, Ed Hummer was on hand for the 1966 Virginia state-championship basketball game, pitting his alma mater Washington-Lee High School against Patrick Henry High School at the University of Virginia’s fieldhouse.

“It was a physical beatdown of unbelievable proportions,” recalled Hummer, whose younger brother John (who later would join him at Princeton University) was a co-captain of that Washington-Lee squad that brought home the school’s third Virginia State 1A basketball crown in five years.

That championship also marked a milestone: It was the first time an integrated team had won Virginia’s top basketball title.

Tales from those early years of high-school-sports integration were on display Oct. 11, as the Arlington Historical Society hosted a forum that brought together players from the early days of integrated sports in the Old Dominion.

“It’s good to get a black perspective and a white perspective,” said Reggie Harrison (known today at Kamal Salaam El), a Washington-Lee running back in the 1960s who went on to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers and has two Super Bowl rings to his credit.

Harrison moderated the panel discussion, which was cosponsored by the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington and Marymount University.

“Every one of these people is critical” to understanding the evolution from segregation to integration, said historian Annette Benbow.

The panel included the likes of Tyrone Epperson, a member of the 1966 championship basketball team, standout football player and “the best athlete who ever walked through Washing-

ton-Lee’s doors,” Harrison said.

For five years after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education ruling in 1954, Virginia officials used an array of tactics to delay or prevent integration of public schools in the commonwealth.

In early 1959, the door cracked open when several state schools – including Stratford Junior High School in Arlington – saw mixing of the races for the first time.

But that was just a small step, Harrison said.

“We don’t want to confuse desegregation with integration,” he said. “Integration is in your heart.”

By the early 1960s, some of those black middle-schoolers had moved up to Washington-

Lee High School, which from its founding in the 1920s had been a whites-only school.

For Morris “Mo” Levin, the school’s basketball coach, trying to deal with the legal wrangling and the personal feelings of his athletes, parents and staff were added obstacles to putting winning teams on the court.

But, the 88-year-old Levin said by Skype from his home in Florida, his teams of the 1960s were up to the task.

“It’s the players; they rose to the challenge with discipline and sacrifice,” Levin said. “This is why we were winners.”

(Levin, who coached the team from the mid-1950s to the early 1970s and was inducted into the Arlington Sports Hall of Fame in 1995, said he believed those en-

tire championship teams should in the hall of fame. “They belong there,” he said. “They were all great players, or they wouldn’t have been on a Washington-Lee basketball team.”)

Tron Brekke, a standout in baseball and football at Washington-Lee in the early 1960s, remembered how important sports of all kinds – from football and basketball to rowing – were at the high school. “Once in a while, I studied,” he chuckled.

The forum, taped for broadcast by Arlington Independent Media, also focused on other sports of the era.

Winnie Owens was a standout athlete, competing in swimming and as a running back in the highly competitive powderpuff football league while at Wash-

ington-Lee. “We weren’t allowed to be in things like the young men. We had to be in intramurals,” she said, but noted that players on the powderpuff-football teams would study the varsity-football playbook to get a leg up on the competition.

Leslie Deskins, who in the late 1960s was a member of the Washington-Lee cheerleading team – its second black member, after Deborah Newman – said she was glad cheerleading was getting a seat at the table during the forum.

“It’s great to be here,” Deskins said.

Carmela Hamm, the driving force behind the Oct. 11 forum, grew up in the Hall’s Hill/High View Park community along Lee Highway, which during the era of segregation was one of the few neighborhoods where African-Americans could live in Arlington.

“It was a very close-knit situation, and I imagine Green Valley [a South Arlington segregated neighborhood] was a lot like that, too,” Hamm said.

James Spriggs, a member of the 1966 Washington-Lee championship hoops team, found a draft notice awaiting him not long after his high-school days ended.

His basketball skills were, in a way, his deliverance. Spriggs ended up on the U.S. Army Europe all-star basketball team.

“It seemed that most young men were going to Vietnam, but basketball was my salvation; instead of Southeast Asia, I ended up in Germany,” he said. “And instead of bullets, bayonets and mortar fire, my weapons were elbows, a pull-up jump shot and a dunk as starting center for Uncle Sam.” After his discharge, Spriggs attended and played center for King’s Business College. “[I] played for the sheer joy of the game until at age 44, when I traded my hoops for my golf clubs,” he said with a laugh.

Arlington Tops Region in Per-Square-Foot Cost of Homes A Staff Report

Arlington was well ahead of all other localities, according to new figures from Estate Business Intelligence, based on data from Bright MLS. Arlington’s per-square-foot cost for the January-to-September period was up 1.5 percent from the same time frame in 2017.

Among Northern Virginia jurisdictions, Falls Church reported a median per-square-foot cost of $398 (down 1.2 percent), while Alexandria scored a median rate of $358 (up 1.4 percent).

Fairfax County posted a median rate of $296 (up 2.8 percent) while Loudoun County saw a median rate of $215 (up 0.9

Further out, median per-square-foot rates stood at $207 in Manassas Park (up 17 percent), $205 in Prince William County (up 3.5 percent), $192 in Manassas (up 6.7 percent) and $174 in Stafford County (up 9.4 percent).

County: Bonds Not Used on Short-Term Matters SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington government officials say that, despite rumors to the contrary, they are not using funds approved in bond referendums to pay for ongoing expenses.

The matter came up at the Oct. 20 County Board meeting but has been percolating in the community for weeks, focused largely on whether the county legally could use bond funds to construct synthetic-turf fields.

“This comment has really started to take on a life of its own,” County Board Chairman Katie Cristol said, after finding herself quizzed on the subject at a recent appearance before the Arlington County Civic Federation.

Can bond funds be used to support synthetic-turf fields? Sometimes they can, sometimes they can’t.

As long as the useful life of something funded by bond dollars exceeds the length the bonds will be in the hands of investors, the process is kosher. For syntheticturf fields, the usable life is anywhere from eight to 10 years.

And while many Arlington govern-

ment bonds have a two-decade lifespan, “we do have bonds that have amortization periods that aren’t 20 years – they can be 10 years, they can be eight years, they can be nine years,” County Manager Mark Schwartz said.

“We are very careful to match up the expenditures with the maturities involved,” Schwartz said in response to questioning from School Board candidate Audrey Clement. “We are under extreme scrutiny on that – we have a tight practice on that.”

The first time a synthetic-turf field is installed on a site, much of the infrastructure, including the substructure and drainage, is put in place to last for decades. It is the turf itself that usually wears down within 10 years. County officials have the ability to fund the infrastructure with bond funds and the turf itself with general funds.

A $30.3 million park package is one of four local bond referendums on the Nov. 6 ballot in Arlington. Its success is virtually guaranteed; Arlington voters have not turned down a local bond referendum since the days when Jimmy Carter was in the White House, and most pass with between 60 and 85 percent of the vote.

Green Party Delivers Mixed Verdict on Bond Referendums: The Arlington Green Party has opted to support the transportation bond on Arlington’s Nov. 6 ballot, but oppose the three other bonds.

The organization said its support for the $74.6 million transportation bond was due in part to the need to provide support for mass-transit, including Metro service.

The party will oppose the $103 million school bond, $36 million community-infrastructure bond and $30.3 million parks bond.

“The parks and recreation bonds will actually destroy or impair parkland, since it will be used to build and pave over existing green space, demolish trees, and build extravagant energy-wasteful buildings,” Green Party officials said. The party opposed the schools bond in part due to the funding planning to be used on a new elementary school in Westover.

“The latest estimated cost of Reed is already far more at least $55 million, with possibly tens of millions of dollars in costs for a parking garage,” Green Party leaders said. “The School Board has no idea what Reed School will cost.

Party leadership also expressed the view that approval of the referendums, could imperil Arlington’s standing with bond-rating houses, which potentially could lead to a lowering of the county government’s AAA bond ratings.

With the announcement of its positions, the Green Party becomes the third of Arlington’s political parties to take a stand on the bond package: • The Arlington County Democratic Committee earlier voted to support all

www.sungazette.news

four bonds.

• The Arlington County Republican Committee is supporting the school and parks bonds, but is opposing the transportation and community-infrastucture bonds.

The Green Party is not running any candidates in local races this year.

Housing-Advocacy Group Posts Candidate Questionnaires: The Alliance for Housing Solutions has released responses from County Board candidates John Vihstadt and Matt de Ferranti to its candidate questionnaire.

The questions focus on ways to increase the stock of affordable housing in the community, including whether candidates support additional funding for the Affordable Housing Investment Fund, and ask the contenders to provide innovative ideas on addressing affordable-housing issues in the community.

Highs & Lows THUMBS DOWN: To County Board candidates John Vihstadt and Matt de Ferranti, who are punting rather than addressing the only issue that seems to have Arlingtonians riled up this election season.

Neither candidate wants to wade into the question of the renaming of Washington-Lee High School, saying it’s not an issue that the County Board has any say over.

Swing and a miss, fellas: Just because it’s not the County Board’s matter doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have, and express, an opinion. Particularly considering that this renaming foolishness, if not nipped in the bud, is sure to spread to county facilities, roads – and perhaps even morph into a fight over the name “Arlington” it-

self. Don’t bet against it.

THUMBS UP: To the life of civic activist and Arlington County Taxpayers Association president Tim Wise, who died earlier this month after being ill most of the year.

While Wise could be bombastic (thus good for a quote), he also accumulated and parsed a treasure trove of information, and was respected even by those who disagreed with him on many issues.

The days of comity in public discourse is fast becoming a lost art, which is a shame. Wise was proof that you can disagree without being disagreeable, and be on the losing ends of battles without being histrionic.

THUMBS UP: To the County Board, for selecting Noah Simon to chair the task force that will consider options for the large government parcel on Old Dominion Drive.

Simon, a former School Board member and currently a staffer to U.S. Rep. Don Beyer, has proved a resilient glutton for punishment, as he previously chaired the task force that worked to recommend a location for Fire Station #8. He received positive reviews for his efforts leading that panel.

The Old Dominion task force will meet from November to March before issuing a recommendation. Given Simon’s skills as a mediator, he’s the right pick for the post.

Tree Destruction in Arlington Is a Disgrace Editor: I am an Arlington resident and former long-time county consultant, chiefly as a botanical consultant who assisted with the development of the county government’s Natural Resource Management Plan, its in-the-works revision, and also as an assistant with the county’s champion- and notable-tree programs.

As a resident, but also as one who has probably surveyed every bit of whatever of the wild remains in Arlington, I am appalled at the throwaway culture mentality that has taken root in Arlington, and is increasing exponentially.

Arlington, probably more than any other D.C. region jurisdiction, has become a war zone of needless but rampant clearing of many of its surviving and healthy old-age, remnant forest trees.

The majority of these trees are being lost through poorly planned infill projects where every living thing is razed

on the site and ugly box McMansions replace it.

Once these remnant forest trees are gone, so are large swaths of native biodiversity that rely on the mature upland oaks and hickories (oaks, and hickories to a lesser extent, are the dominant canopy trees of Arlington). Once these oaks and hickories are gone, they’re gone for good. They are irreplaceable.

Added to these losses are the mystifying removal of similar old-age canopy trees on county land, such as the removal of 111 mature tree, some of which are located on the steep grade and within the Resource Protection Area.

Does Arlington have the world’s most clueless and detached planners? The county government can’t give lip service to tree-canopy preservation while at the same time removing hundreds of mature, remnant forest trees on its lands.

Currently, there are two properties with old-age, remnant forest trees of the old Reserve Hill at the eastern end of

North Florida Street one block north of Yorktown High School that are slated for razing. The residence at 3010 North Florida St. in particular has an old-age “patriarch” Southern Red Oak in its front yard, as well as other old Southern Red Oak trees and a stand of old, large Black Gum trees at the back corner of the property).

Have county staff negotiated any tree protections for these trees on the two adjoining properties at 3010 North Florida Street My guess is no, they haven’t – business as the new usual.

It would be derelict of the county if it hadn’t tried to negotiate its wishes for tree preservation on these sites, beginning with the giant Southern Red Oak, and would further confirm the deep public perception that Arlington County simply does not care about negotiating the preservation of old, native, remnant forest trees on infill-development lots.

Editor: I’m writing to voice my support for the re-election of John Vihstadt.

I have traditionally voted for Democrats in the past, but I decided to support Vihstadt in the last election because I liked his message of common-sense problem solving.

Neither political party has all the answers to the challenges facing our com-

munity, and I think we need a diversity of views to represent our diverse community.

Vihstadt brings balance to the board and fresh ideas like hiring an independent county auditor. He led the creation of the 2016 small-business summit, which I attended as a small-business owner.

Vihstadt has also been a good stew-

ard of county resources by pushing to scale back extravagant projects.

We need John Vihstadt on the County Board, and I encourage my neighbors to vote for him.

Divisive School Board Should Not Be Rewarded at the Polls Editor: Congratulations are in order for members of the Arlington School Board. They have tackled a matter of great importance and urgency to everyone in our community with laser-like focus and great speed.

In fact, they have effectively utilized school staff to come to the desired results without the pesky, troublesome involvement of community input, and then made the unanimous decision at a meeting over the summer without any advance public notice or even including the matter on the meeting agenda.

And what was this important action taken with such haste and secrecy?

Tackling the cost of school construction, which is smothering capital spending for other county needs? Addressing falling test scores? Facing up to minority-achievement issues? Finding ways to protect open space?

Rest assured, it was, ahem, much more momentous that those. It was

about changing the name of Washington-Lee High School.

It has been a case of political correctness and the deft change of focus from real problems to an inconsequential matter, copying tactics favored by many of our national political leaders.

School Board member Barbara Kanninen, who as board chair led this highly political decision, is facing off against Audrey Clement in the Nov. 6 election.

I have never voted for Ms. Clement before; however, she wrote an eloquent and well-reasoned piece on the Washington-Lee matter and has real plans to deal with our school system’s shortcomings.

I urge voters to let their voices be heard and vote against divisiveness and pandering. Vote for Ms. Clement and her focus on improving our schools for all students and addressing real problems.

Phil Klingelhofer Arlington

School Board Action Appalling Editor: For the first time in all my years as a somewhat progressive Democrat, I will be voting for the candidate who is NOT endorsed by Arlington County Democratic Committee.

Why? As a fourth-generation Arlingtonian and coming from a long succession of family members who graduated Washington-Lee High School, I am absolutely appalled at the actions of the current School Board with regard to the renaming of Washington-Lee. I am one of the majority of Arlington residents who do not want to change the name for someone else’s notion that this is the politically correct thing to do.

Based on the School Board’s own posted calendar, the subject was supposed to be brought up at their September board meeting. They changed up and voted on the issue in the early spring in an effort to sneak it by without anyone’s knowledge. This is NOT democracy as I have been taught in our own nationally ranked schools.

For as long as I can remember, I have

signed the annual petition of Audrey Clement to be placed on various ballots.

I did so not in support of her positions but for the sake of democracy, in that she should be allowed a place on the ballot. I never voted for her, but I felt it was important in the spirit of democracy that everyone should have the right to be on the ballot if they can show enough support to merit such an action.

But the underhanded and sneaky way in which the School Board voted on the issue does not represent the majority of Arlington residents’ point of view.

Needless to say, I am one of many this year who will stray for voting a straight Democratic ticket (I voted in every election and primary since I could at the age 18) and I will be casting a vote for Audrey Clement in protest.

Barbara Kanninen does not deserve to serve on the School Board if she puts her own personal agenda ahead of the residents and taxpayers of Arlington County.

Richard Hightower Arlington

Editor: I recently visited Arlington National Cemetery, where visitors are greeted by a beautiful marker that advised all to follow the sign’s direction.

It read: “Stay to the Right to the Lee Mansion, Dedicated in Honor to Robert E. Lee.” If Lee is worthy enough to be honored by with a national memorial (Arlington House), he also should be good enough to be honored by the name of an Arlington institution of learning.

I find it impossible to understand the

thought process of the School Board in its denigration of Gen. Lee. They are simply out of touch regarding the role and national stature this man has.

To remove his name from his namesake school will make this county and School Board look like a pack of fools – and will lead to the next logical question: Why not delete the name of Arlington County altogether?

Vihstadt Brings Diversity of Views to County Governance Editor: I consider myself most closely aligned with Democrats, but I’m not buying attempts from some quarters to paint John Vihstadt with the Trump Republican brush.

I have worked with Mr. Vihstadt in recent years, and I have seen a responsible, conscientious listener who carefully weighs issues on their merits – not according to how they measure up to some party platform.

I’ve never met any politician who works harder than Mr. Vihstadt, reaching out to engage people in every corner of Arlington. No one knows Arlington better. He worked for decades in volunteer community-service roles and has forged collaborative relationships across the county. People know that he’ll bring their concerns and perspectives to the County Board room and will seek com-

mon-ground solutions.

I like Mr. Vihstadt’s emphasis on fiscal responsibility with the new auditor, on keeping metro healthy, on advocacy for greater transparency and process improvement for neighborhood development projects. He is also a strong supporter of the schools, which is particularly important to me. If you want to know more, just ask Mr. Vihstadt.

He’s the most responsive member of the board.

I would hope Democrats can reach out and work with independents, because I believe that when we develop decisions with a consideration of diverse views we are all stronger. The near-oligarchy of the Democratic Party in Arlington is less likely to serve all of county as well.

Editor: I’m a lifelong yellow-dog Democrat and knee-jerk liberal. Unlike your recent letter-writer Nathan Zee [“Vihstadt Hasn’t Delivered for County Voters, Oct. 18], I did NOT vote for John Vihstadt the first two times he ran.

The primary reason was his opposition to the Columbia Pike streetcar, which I thought was a worthy project.

The secondary reason was that I just could not mark the box for someone who spent most of his adult life as a Republican.

But I’m voting for Vihstadt this time

around. (Full disclosure: he and his wife Mary are family friends; our sons rowed together for Yorktown Crew.)

I’ve watched him with great interest because of our friendship, and have been impressed with his thoughtfulness and attention to the interests of all Arlingtonians. And I intend to honor his longtime service to this community.

I’ve even put his sign in my yard – much to the amazement of my neighbors, who are well aware of my political persuasion.

Robert Herring Arlington

Editor: When I moved to Arlington in 1981, the County Board was majority Republican. Within 10 years, the composition of the Board had shifted to 100-percent Democrat, where it remained (with one brief exception) until John Vihstadt’s 2014 election as an independent.

For the last four years, he has pursued open-minded, accountable and responsive county government, and has been a prudent steward of our resources. In the face of imminent fiscal challenges, these characteristics are needed more than ever.

Yet there is another critical argument for continuing Vihstadt’s independent voice on the County Board. Single-party governance is never desirable, regardless of the party in control.

It would be ironic if Arlington, which takes such pride in its reputation as a diverse community, were to reject diversity in this most essential sphere of political thought.

For these reasons, I will vote for John Vihstadt on Nov. 6.

Another Wrinkle in Upton Hill Development Plan SCOTT McCAFFREY

When it comes to the design of Upton Hill Regional Park, the Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority (NOVA Parks) isn’t catching a break.

The agency earlier agreed to cut, from its expansion plan, construction of a 17space parking lot with direct access to Wilson Boulevard. Its decision was part of an effort the assuage tree activists, who complained loudly about the original proposal’s impact on both live and dead trees on the parcel.

But eliminating the additional parking has now generated opposition from the Dominion Hills Civic Association, which is upset that the additional amenities planned at the park will bring more traffic, which likely will be forced to park

in neighborhood streets.

“At this point, we see [no solution] that does not include a new parking lot,” said Brian Hannigan, president of the civic association, after that organization met with NOVA Parks executive director Paul Gilbert earlier on October.

The Dominion Hills neighborhood, which includes about 600 single-family homes, sits immediately north of Upton Hill, across Wilson Boulevard.

Gilbert acknowledged that the neighborhood has voiced concern “that the improvements to the lower-park area will drive more park visitors” who will need to park somewhere. If they can’t find parking in the park’s lot or on Wilson Boulevard, they may head into neighborhoods.

Gilbert said he was pleased that plans for the upper part of the park, including a climbing tower and, potentially, a ropes

course, “seem to have wide support.” But he now is faced with finding a way to make both tree advocates (who want no additional parking lot) and the Dominion Hills leadership (which does) happy.

When the decision to cut out the proposed additional parking lot was announced, NOVA Parks and county staff were working on a proposal that would see three-hour time limits placed on about 25 parking spots along Wilson Boulevard around the park. But the Dominion Hills Civic Association believes that could lead residents of local apartments, who often park in those spaces due to a lack of other options, to seek out parking in the adjoining residential neighborhoods, “some of which are already parked to near capacity,” the association said.

While the Arlington County government has found itself thrust into the

development process due to vocal complaints made by the tree activists at recent County Board meetings and through social media, the government has limited powers (and the County Board none) to intervene directly with NOVA Parks on the plan.

The Boulevard Manor Civic Association, which represents homeowners adjacent to another side of the park, has voiced concerns about parts of the design plan, but generally has been supportive.

Straddling the Arlington/Fairfax border, Upton Hill Regional Park has passive areas but is better known for its large swimming complex, miniature-golf course and batting cages.

Work on the redevelopment project is slated to begin later this year, although it is likely the climbing tower will not be constructed until the winter of 2019-20.

The Sun Gazette on Monday launched a new Fairfax- and Arlington-centric Website – www.sungazette.news – designed to give readers one-stop access to everything from placing an ad to reading that week’s print editions.

The new site will not supplant the paper’s partnership with the regional InsideNoVa news aggregator, but is designed to provide services specifically for Sun Ga-

Beer Garden in Westover Gets Knuckles Rapped But Will Be Allowed to Continue Amplified Music in 2019 SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Westover Market’s beer garden on Oct. 20 survived an attempt by Arlington government staff COUNTY to eliminate outdoor ampliNOTES fied music, but did see a number of other new restrictions slapped on it by County Board members.

Reacting to complaints from some neighbors about noise from the outdoor patio – and the apparent inability or unwillingness of its owners to comply with previous regulations placed on them – County Board members required the owners to submit a comprehensive soundmanagement plan to the government before reopening for the 2019 outdoor season.

“We’re caught in this tension” between fans of the beer garden’s convivial atmosphere and neighbors who say it encroaches on their rights, said County Board member Erik Gutshall, who pronounced it unlikely that the government will ever be able to broker a compromise that is fair and acceptable to everyone.

Under the revamped rules, the beer garden will be able to feature local bands performing amplified music outdoors

next year from April 1 to Oct. 31 on Wednesdays from 6 to 8 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 6 to 9 p.m. County staff had proposed restricting music to unamplified kinds, but were overruled by County Board members.

Neighbors complain of a “cat-andmouse game” in trying to get noise rules enforced and having the owner of the beer garden (located at 5863 Washington Blvd.) comply with regulations that already are in place.

It was a concern shared by County Board Chairman Katie Cristol. “I don’t believe they have been,” Cristol said of complying with previously imposed regulations.

But at the same time, the beer garden has its fans who support having amplified music, and the civic associations of both Westover and Tara-Leeway Heights weighed in against prohibiting amplification.

“This is about quality of life on both sides,” Cristol said.

“It’s a real balance,” her colleague Libby Garvey added.

Acoustic live entertainment is permitted year-round Tuesdays through Thursdays from 7 to 10 p.m., Fridays through Sundays from 6 to 10 p.m. and from 6 to 10 p.m. on Mondays that are designated

federal holidays, as well as from 6 to 10 p.m. on July 4.

Garvey said she appreciated the passion of patrons – “people love the beer garden” – but was skeptical of those who downplay critics by saying the only people complaining about the noise are those living close by.

“Who else is going to complain?” she said. “I live [miles away] in Fairlington; I’m not going to complain.”

The owner of the market will be required to submit a noise-management plan to the county government by next March.

The entire matter will go back to county staff in June for review and be brought back to the County Board next October, earlier if any parts of the use permit are not adhered to by the owner.

Will everyone be happy with the end result? “Unlikely,” Garvey acknowledged, “but hopefully.”

Treasurer’s Office, State Government Find Success in Unclaimed-Property Effort: The Arlington treasurer’s office plans to invite state-government officials back in 2019 to help local residents hunt for unclaimed financial booty.

Personnel from the Virginia Department of the Treasury were on hand Oct. 4-5 to interact with the roughly 2,000 lo-

cal residents who headed to the Ellen M. Bozman Government Center to pay their real-estate and personal-property taxes before the deadline.

“Our visitors [from the state government] were a big hit,” Treasurer Carla de la Pava said. “There were 350 people who stopped to see if they had any funds with Virginia that they didn’t know about, and more than 50 percent of them did.”

The final total of unclaimed funds that found a home was just over $68,000. One person was owed more than $10,000.

Funds being held by the state government range from unpaid wages and unclaimed insurance policies and bank accounts to utility deposits.

There is more than $2 billion being held by the state government. (For full details, see the Website at https://www.VaMoneySearch.org/.)

According to the treasurer’s office, since the unclaimed-property program began in 1961, more than $760 million has been paid out to Virginia residents. There is no statute of limitations on claims.

De la Pava said state officials have been invited to share booth space with her office at the 2019 Arlington County Fair in August, and will be on hand again when the early-October tax deadline rolls around.

Northern Virginia Realtor of Year Wins Accolades Tracy Comstock, broker/owner of Silverline Realty & Investment, was honored as the 2018 Northern Virginia Association of Realtors (NVAR) Realtor of the Year at the organization’s annual convention, held Oct. 9.

Comstock “has a history of serving not only her clients, but our industry and our membership for the past 18 years with professionalism and grace,” said Lorraine Arora, board chairman of NVAR. “As a founding member of the Asian Real Estate Association of America, Tracy worked to help promote home-ownership opportunities to Asian Americans,” Arora said.

Comstock has served as a teacher in the NVAR Realtor school in classes such as pre-licensing, post-licensing, continuing education and Graduate, Realtor Institute (GRI). Her passion for education extends to her own professional develop-

ment, having earned multiple industry certifications and designations, NVAR officials said.

Comstock’s perspective while serving for the past six years on the NVAR board of directors has made a positive difference and has advanced the association’s strategic direction, the organization noted.

“Tracy’s commitment to advancing the professionalism of our practitioners has been apparent to us for years,” NVAR CEO Ryan Conrad said. “She serves as an outstanding role model who has been honored for her work at the White House in D.C. as well as the Blue House in Seoul, South Korea.”

Also at the event, Nora Partlow of Coldwell Banker received the “NVAR Hero” award for her charitable work benefiting Neighborhood Health, a non-profit that provides free heath care to clients across Northern Virginia.

The Washington inner core saw its biggest year-over-year drop in home sales for a September since 2014, according to new data, but median sales prices continued to push higher.

A total of 3,636 properties changed hands across the inner-core area last month, down 10 percent from a year before, according to figures reported Oct. 10 by Data provided by MarketStats by ShowingTime based on listing activity from Bright MLS (www.brightmlshomes. com).

Figures represent sales in the District of Columbia; Arlington and Fairfax counties and the cities of Alexandria and Falls Church in Virginia; and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland.

Only the city of Alexandria posted a year-over-year sales increase, with all other localities seeing declines ranging from 3.8 percent to 47.4 percent.

The decline had an impact on the yearto-date report; for the first eight months of 2018, homes that went to closing have totaled 41,927, down 1.8 percent from a year before.

But median sales prices rose 3.7 percent to $420,000 for the month, the highest September total since the onset of the recession and more than 27 percent higher than the median sales prices of Septembers 2009 and 2010.

The increase wasn’t uniform, with most Northern Virginia localities (except Fairfax County) posting declines in median sales prices. Maryland communities and the District of Columbia saw increases.

Inventory continues to moderate slightly, with the number of homes on the market in September standing at 10,539, down 3.3 percent from a year before.

Inventory was down 5.1 percent in the single-family market, 2.3 percent in the townhouse segment and 4 percent in the condominium sector.

(The 10-year average inventory for the local market is 12,361, with the market having hit a peak of 17,173 in the depths

of the recession in September 2010).

Inventory was up in Falls Church, Prince George’s County and the District of Columbia, down in other localities.

Homes that went to closing in September spent an average of 17 days between listing and ratified sales contract, the lowest for any September since 2013 and down from 20 days a year before.

Tracy Comstock, right, was honored as 2018 Northern Virginia Association of Realtors’ Realtor of the Year by Lorraine Arora, the organization’s chairman.

Dr. Basim Kahn, Neighborhood Health’s executive director and head physician, said Partlow has volunteered at the organization since its founding in 1997.

“She has played multiple leadership roles, including chairing our event-planning committees and helping with fund-raising events over 21 years,” Kahn said.

As part of the award, Neighborhood Health will receive a $1,000 contribution in Partlow’s name.

“Our commitment to give back to the community is accomplished many ways,” Conrad said. “Our members are not only about their real estate deals. Many are committed to excellent philanthropic causes; many Realtors help create stability for neighbors, especially ones who may face a rough patch.”

“Good housing helps to achieve a better quality of life,” said the 2018 NVAR Cares Committee chair Marriah Unruh, broker of KW Properties Stafford. “Realtors understand the role that home-ownership plays in shaping vibrant neighborhoods.”

Election Continued from Page 1

lican and in 2014 had the support (though not the endorsement) of the Arlington County Republican Committee – focuses on the need for local government to swim in its own lane and “concentrate on the nuts and bolts” of doing its job.

“Let’s leave partisan politics out of it,” Vihstadt said at a recent forum. “I have embraced my independence in every sense of the word.”

After being spanked by voters in 2014, county Democrats and Arlington government officials moved quickly to triage the situation, killing off the Columbia Pike streetcar, shuttering the money-hemorrhaging Artisphere, rolling back plans for transit “superstops” and first delaying and then downscaling the Long Bridge Park aquatics center. Even capital spending on schools has been scaled back to a degree.

The result has been no further erosion in Democrats’ near-oligarchy in Arlington, with the party’s nominees and endorsees winning every local race in 2015, 2016 and 2017. Democrats control four of five County Board seats, all five School Board seats, all five constitutional offices and all seven legislative seats.

An Arlington resident for more than 30 years and long active on the civic scene, Vihstadt sensed opportunity in early 2014 when County Board member Chris Zim-

merman resigned to take a job with a public-policy group. In a special election held that spring and the subsequent general election, Vihstadt won easy victories over Democrat Alan Howze.

De Ferranti, a member of the Housing Commission who won a two-way Democratic primary earlier this year to face Vihstadt, said his bid for office puts “a real focus on opportunity for all.”

“We have to have a can-do attitude,” said de Ferranti, who has been able to nail down public endorsements from most local Democratic office-holders but was unable to secure support from the Democratic treasurer, commonwealth’s attorney or County Board member Libby Garvey – all of whom are supporting Vihstadt.

In various public forums, de Ferranti has attempted to portray Vihstadt as the candidate of “no” when it comes to community investment. It’s a charge the incumbent says is laughable.

“I’m not in favor of cutting, cutting, cutting,” he said, noting that in 2017 he joined Democratic County Board members in approving an increase in the realestate tax rate to provide extra funding for schools and Metro.

But Vihstadt positions himself as a bulwark of fiscal sanity against the County Board’s temptation to gold-plate every item in front of it.

“Just as we cannot cut our way to prosperity, we can’t tax our way to it, either,” he said.

Both candidates agree that the county school system, which for nearly a decade

has seen enrollment growth and now has more students than at the height of the Baby Boom, needs to be funded appropriately.

De Ferranti puts school funding on par with reducing office-vacancy rates as his two top issues, while Vihstadt says “there’s no doubt” that schools need more money to address enrollment – even though the school system already spends more per student than any other jurisdiction in the commonwealth.

(In Virginia, most school boards are elected but none has taxing authority, which in Arlington means that about 80 percent of the school system’s $650 million annual budget comes from the County Board. County Board members determine the amount they provide schools, but have no power to decide how that money is spent.)

De Ferranti has pressed for consolidation of some services, such as information-technology and transportation, that currently are handled separately by the county government and school system.

“It has been talked about for a long time,” he said.

Candidates also have fielded questions about Arlington’s comprehensive network of government commissions, committees and task forces, which have been an integral part of the “Arlington Way” of decision-making but in recent years have generated just as much criticism as praise.

“There’s no doubt [that the commission process] is imperfect,” Vihstadt said.

“We need to diversify the voices on these

Remodeling & Design Seminars

commissions.”

He pointed to efforts to reform the Neighborhood Conservation program as one of the highlights of his tenure. “We’re going to have to deal with the problems that have plagued this,” Vihstadt said.

De Ferranti believes there might be ways to consolidate commissions in order to streamline their work. “Process sometimes kills results,” he acknowledged.

The election is Nov. 6, but absentee voting has been ongoing since late September. Vihstadt has assembled a sizable campaign war chest, while de Ferranti will benefit from the massive get-out-the-vote effort organized each year by the Arlington County Democratic Committee.

Police Beat ARREST MADE IN INCIDENT THAT LEFT ONE MAN DEAD: n A 27-year-old Arlington man has been arrested and faces a variety of charges in connection with an Oct. 18 incident that left one man dead.

On Oct. 18 at 9:21 p.m., police were dispatched to the 1300 block of South George Mason Drive following receipt of multiple 9-1-1 calls.

According to police, a man was walking in the area with a woman known to him when he began to physically and sexually assault her. A male witness observed the assault and attempted to render assistance to the victim. The suspect physically assaulted the witness, leaving him unconscious.

The witness – 54-year-old Patricio Salazar of Arlington – was transported to George Washington University Hospital where he was pronounced dead, police said.

According to police, the suspect came into contact with two additional victims whom he tried to rob of a cell phone.

The victims fought back, and the suspect again fled the scene on foot. The suspect then successfully robbed a female victim of her cell phone, police said.

During the course of the investigation, detectives from the department’s Homicide/Robbery and Special Victims’ Units developed a possible suspect description.

Members of the Tactical Unit located the suspect and took him into custody without incident in the area of Columbia Pike and George Mason Drive.

Michael Nash, 27, was arrested and charged with abduction with the intent to defile, forcible sodomy and animate-object sexual penetration. Additional charges are forthcoming, police said.

Nash is being held without bond in the Arlington County Detention Facility.

ASSAULT-AND-BATTERY ON POLICE: n On Oct. 12 at 1:55 p.m., an officer on routine patrol observed a vehicle with a cracked windshield commit a traffic offense, police said.

According to police, the vehicle stopped and two occupants exited the vehicle and advanced toward the officer while yelling expletives. The occupants then returned to the vehicle upon police direction, but continued to exhibit disorderly behavior, police said.

The officer observed a child in the rear of the passenger compartment in an improperly secured car seat. The child was uninjured.

After additional officers arrived on the scene, the driver was directed to exit the

vehicle, at which point he became physically combative and pushed an officer, police said. With the assistance of additional officers, he was taken into custody.

The first suspect – 20-year-old Charles Contreras of Arlington – was arrested and charged with assault-and-battery on law enforcement, traffic-lane infraction, defective equipment and child-restraint violation. The second suspect – 19-yearold Lamar Contreras of Arlington – was issued a summons for obstruction of justice.

INDECENT EXPOSURE: n On Oct. 18 at 11:27 a.m., a woman was inside her vehicle in the 3100 block of Lee Highway when she noticed a man masturbating in a vehicle parked next to hers, police said.

Responding units canvassed the area and located the suspect based on the description provided by the victim.

The suspect – 42-year-old Olumide Onakoya of Temple Hills – was arrested and charged with public masturbation.

BURGLARY: n On Oct. 12 at 10:37 a.m., a business in the 5500 block of Columbia Pike was burglarized. Cash and items of value were taken. n On Oct. 13 at approximately 2:18 a.m., three individuals forced entry to a business in the 3200 block of Lee Highway, stole keys to multiple vehicles and then stole two vehicles from the property.

The suspects are described as black males, in their early 20s. n On Oct. 14 at 2:51 a.m., police were dispatched to the 1200 block of North Fillmore Street for a report of a burglary in progress.

According to police, a victim was awakened to a noise and, upon investigating, discovered an intoxicated male suspect at her door, speaking incoherently.

She closed the door and the subject left, but returned, forced his was past the victim and into her home.

According to police, the victim, another resident of the home and a neighbor were assaulted while attempting to control the suspect prior to police arrival.

The suspect – 25-year-old Daniel Fay of Falls Church – was arrested and charged with three counts of assault and battery plus single counts of drunk in public and unlawful entry. He was held without bond. n On Oct. 16 at 9:24 a.m., a woman living in the 900 block of South Orme Street heard a noise inside her residence, where she found a suspect who had gained entry and was stealing items of value.

Featured Property of the Week

A Standout in Country Club Hills Post-War Home Offers 3,600 Square Feet of Stylish Space

We travel to the always-in-fashion neighborhood of Country Club Hills for this week’s featured property, a Georgian-inspired post-war (1948) colonial that showcases traditional elegance on the outside while offering some peppy exuberance across three interior levels totaling about 3,600 square feet inside.

The updated home is fresh and ready to meet your needs, whether those be daily living or entertaining in style. Add personalized “HGTV” touches for a property that is ready to call your own.

The home currently is on the market, listed at $1,240,000 by Christopher Wilkes and Jinny Wilkes of Washington Fine Properties.

Surrounded by mature plantings and manicured lawns, curb appeal is topnotch. But it’s after we are invited in to explore the interior spaces that the elegance and attention to detail really shines.

The home benefits from a sunny disposition, both literally and figuratively.

Refinished flooring and fresh paint make the home “pop” as we move from room to room, while traffic flow is delightful.

Highlights of the main level include a large living room with windows on three

sides and the first of three fireplaces we will find on our tour. The expansive dining room features showstopper views of the rear yard and offers a 10-foot vaulted ceiling.

The kitchen area is open and versatile, while a signature spiral staircase climbs inside a bay-window area. A marvelous touch!

A large den with corner fireplace rounds out the main level.

Upstairs, the owners’ retreat occupies a large portion of the space, with three additional bedrooms plus a linen closet and access to the attic.

The lower level is home to an ample recreation room with fireplace, plus laundry/mud room/storage space and access to the covered patio, rounding

out an exceptional offering.

Sales of newly-built single-family homes rose 3.5 percent in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 629,000 units after downwardly revised June and July reports, according to newly released data by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau.

These downward revisions suggest softness in new-home sales activity this summer. However, on a year-to-date basis, sales are up 6.9 percent from this time in 2017.

A new-home sale occurs when a sales contract is signed or a deposit is accepted. The home can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction or completed. In addition to adjusting for seasonal effects, the August reading of 629,000 units is the number of homes that would sell if this pace continued for the next 12 months.

“New-home sales have ticked up in August, due to positive demographics and a strong overall economy,” said Randy Noel, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a custom home builder from LaPlace, La. “However, housing affordability remains a serious concern and builders must manage supply-side costs and stiff regulatory hurdles to keep prices competitive.”

“Housing affordability has taken a toll on new-home sales over the summer, and there could be market volatility in the months ahead as communities grapple with the aftereffects of [hurricans],” said NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz. “Still, we expect the overall housing market to grow this year as demand continues to increase among Millennials and other newcomers.”

The inventory of new homes for sale was 318,000 in August. The median sales price was $320,200.

Regionally, new-home sales rose 47.8 percent in the Northeast, 9.1 percent in the West and 2.7 percent in the Midwest. Sales fell 1.7 percent in the South.

While housing starts rose in August, overall permits – which are an indicator of future housing production – dropped 5.7 percent to 1.23 million units in August. Single-family permits fell 6.1 percent to 820,000 units, while multi-family permits dropped 4.9 percent to 409,000 units.

One of my unique services is bicycle house hunting. There is no better way to learn about a community than by biking or walking through it. Prefer not to bike? No worries — I take people by car too! Homeowners have their own priorities and tastes. I help buyers understand they aren’t just buying a building, they’re buying a place in a community. That’s why I encourage my clients to tour their prospective neighborhoods whether by bike, foot or car. I remind them: “Picture yourself in that kitchen, yes, but also picture yourself in that neighborhood coffee shop.”

Sellers are often in the middle of an important life transition. My job is to help them manage the real estate aspect of that transition in as productive and stress-free a way as possible.

Cathy Trauernicht is the inventor of the Ramp4Paws dog ramp and founder of the Ramp4Paws company. She introduced her product at the 2007 Global Pet Expo, where it was awarded “Best in Show” among 454 new dog products. That same year, Ramp4Paws won the Silver Medal for Product Excellence at the H. H. Backer Pet Industry Show, and the Product Design Award from the Society of Plastics Engineers. The Accessory Strap (sold separately) was named one of the 100 Best Pet Products in 2010 by Fido Friendly Magazine.

The Ramp4Paws dog ramp is manufactured with pride in the USA (Somerset, WI). Its patented roll-out / roll-up design offers dogs easy access to most vehicles and convenient storage when not in use. Cathy’s family Labrador was the inspiration for her invention, after the dog sprained a front leg jumping out of the family station wagon. There were no dog ramps on the market at the time, and SUVs were just coming available.

Transportation Notes ARE SCOOTER-RIDERS SKIRTING THE RULES? It’s a common criticism of the

Arlington County government: Officials know how to make rules, but then don’t enforce them.

And it’s reared its head again, with complaints from one civic activist about riders of motorized scooters ignoring regulations regarding their use.

Speaking at the Oct. 20 County Board member, vociferous activist Jim Hurysz said users of the Bird and Lime scooters in Arlington were failing to heed prohibitions against riding on sidewalks, and some riders are under the minimum age (the county rules require riders be at least 16; the two firms have a mandated minimum age of 18).

“Many children are already riding electric scooters – there is no enforcement of the County Board’s stipulations,” Hurysz said.

A visual scan of the community does suggest Hurysz is right, at least about the rule-breaking.

Regulations on minimum ages and a prohibition on riding on sidewalks (or on county-owned trails) were imposed in September when the County Board enacted a nine-month trial period to assess whether the devices should be allowed in Arlington on a permanent basis. The parent companies of Bird and Lift agreed to the rules rather than face a potential outright ban on the transit devices.

County Board members – who usually can be counted on to reply at length to many issues brought up during the publiccomment period of their meetings – were reticent as to whether they expected government personnel to be enforcing the regulations.

Only board member John Vihstadt spoke up, taking an on-the-one-hand-onthe-other-hand approach.

“We don’t know how it’s going to work,” Vihstadt said of the long-term future for the scooters. “We realize the issues they are causing – at the same time, they can be valuable” as transit options.

COUNTY OFFICIALS TO SEEK FEDERAL FUNDING FOR PROJECTS: Arlington

officials will request just over $1.5 million in funding through a federal-government grant program for roadway improvements, with any projects that receives cash not requiring a local match.

Projects to be submitted through the Highway Safety Improvement Program for funding include: • A $1.05 million project to continue improvements to the Arlington Boulevard-Washington Boulevard interchange, described by Arlington officials as one of the most dangerous intersections in the county. The county government already has received $1.88 million to start the project; the additional funding would be used to improve the western half of the

interchange.

• A $240,000 project to install rectangular rapid-flashing beacons at intersections along George Mason Drive, Lee Highway and Washington Boulevard. The beacons are designed to aid pedestrians cross in the middle of a block.

• A $175,000 project to install pedestrian-activated crosswalk signals at priority locations across the county. The signaling already has been installed at several locations, including in front of Arlington Hall in the 100 block of South George Mason Drive.

• A $60,000 project for improvements to North Courthouse Road between 15th Street North and Clarendon Boulevard, which would include curb extensions to lower turning speeds.

The federal government would fund 90 percent of any projects that are accepted, with the Virginia Department of Transportation chipping in the remaining 10 percent.

Funding for a number of the projects already is identified through local sources; if they receive the federal grant support, local funds will be redirected to other local projects.

CONTRACT SLATED TO IMPROVE McKINLEY ROAD: Arlington County

Board members will award a contract worth up to $426,700 for modify curbs and intersections and establish a median

along McKinley Road from Wilson Boulevard north to 11th Street North.

The project is designed to improved safety for pedestrians and bicyclists in the corridor, including students attending McKinley Elementary School.

The low bidder was A&M Concrete Corp., one of three firms that bid for the work.

Others costs for the project, including engineering frees and milling/paving, will be covered under separate contracts. The total estimated cost of the project is $1.36 million.

Rev. Dorota Pruski of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church.

CHURCH TO WELCOME NEW PASTOR:

St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church will host “A Celebration of New Ministry” to salute the arrival of the church’s new rector, Rev. Dorota Pruski, on Sunday, Oct. 28 at 4 p.m. at the church, 4000 Lorcom Lane.

“This is an exciting time for our parish, and we are confident Rev. Pruski will keep St. Andrew’s moving forward while honoring who we are and what we do,” said Jennifer Madsen, the church’s senior warden. “She brings great energy, joy and warmth to her ministry and will be a welcome addition not only to our church family, but to the larger Arlington community.”

The ceremony will be officiated by the Rt. Rev. Robert Ilhoff, bishop associate of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia. Rev. Debra Trakel of the Diocese of Milwaukee will preach.

“It is my honor and joy to serve at St. Andrew’s at this moment in its history,” Pruski said. “This church is inclusive, creative, generous and poised for growth. I cannot wait to see how God will use and transform us as we work together to serve our community and love our neighbors as ourselves.”

For the past five years, Pruski served as associate rector of St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Madison, Wisc., but has ties to the local area, having earned a master of divinity degree at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria.

Pruski officially began her new position on Sept. 10. The community is invited to the Oct. 28 event, and a reception will follow.

FISETTE TO BE HONORED BY HOUSING GROUP: Former Arlington County

Board member Jay Fisette will be honored by the Alliance for Housing Solutions with its Ellen M. Bozman Affordable Housing Award in December.

The honor, which is named in memory of former County Board member and housing advocate Ellen Bozman, is presented annually to individuals who work to improve the supply and quality of affordable housing in Arlington.

Fisette served on the County Board from 1998 to 2017, a time in which “Arlington was transformed into one of America’s finest communities,” alliance officials said in announcing the award.

(Historical note: Fisette on Jan. 1, 1998, succeeded to the County Board seat held by Bozman from 1974 to 1997, for a combined tenure of 44 years. She was the longest-serving County Board member in Arlington history, he the second-longest-serving. The seat is now held by Erik Gutshall.)

Also to be honored at the event will be the late Jack Cornman, who helped to found the Alliance for Housing Solutions. Cornman, who died in June at age 84, will be saluted with the Founders’ Award.

The event will be held on Sunday, Dec. 2 at 6:30 p.m. at Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, 4444 Arlington Blvd. For information, see the Web site at www.allianceforhousingsolutions.org.

Enjoy Something Special in Woodmont

Victorian Styles Provide Fitting Backdrop to Stylish Entertaining

Q

ueen Victoria not only oversaw an empire that ruled the waves and covered a large swath of the globe’s land mass, but she supplied her name to a genre of housing design that remains a favorite here in the former colonies, lo these many years later.

Victorians are not that common in Arlington, either among classic homes or those of more recent vintage. But this shortfall is more than made up for in this week’s featured property – a 2004 standout in the bucolic and sought-after Woodmont neighborhood.

Set on a large lot (more than 12,000 square feet), the home exudes quaint and elegant touches from the front porch and running all the way through four levels of exceptional living, making it a perfect place for entertaining.

And while you are set back in a warm neighborhood filled with charm, you are close to everything, from parks to commuter routes.

The property, a custom design from Ventura Group, currently is on the market, listed at $1,895,000 by Daniel Pierson and Tracy Pierson of McEnearney Associates.

After a welcome in the porch, we’re guided into the soaring foyer, with views through the depth of the home.

We’ll start our tour in the rear of the home, where the expansive (24x25) living/family room is a beautiful centerpiece anchoring all that will follow.

The dining room looks out over the front yard, divided from the creatively designed breakfast/kitchen area by a butler’s pantry. Serious chefs will be pleased with the accommodations.

A study and nook round out this level, adding versatility to the overall floor plan.

The master retreat occupies the rear of the first upper level, a lovely enclave with bedding and sitting areas, a comprehensive master bath and plentiful walk-in-closet space.

Three additional bedrooms – one with a nook – are augmented by two baths and plentiful closet space.

One level higher, the loft provides more than 500 square feet of bonus space to be enjoyed as you see fit, along with a full bath.

On to the lower level we go, where a creative recreation room walks out

to the rear yard’s patio. There also is a charming den plus a guest room with full bath.

Bonuses include a full-size, gas-powered generator, home-security system and surround-sound speakers throughout.

Visually appealing and combining elegance and warmheartedness, this is a home that even the finicky Queen Victoria would approve of. So don’t delay – go

take a look today. You’ll be as enchanted as we were.

Rosamond “Rosebud” Skinner recently was presented the Appreciation Award at the 21st annual Celebration of Recovery, hosted by Phoenix House MidAtlantic.

Skinner was honored for her generosity in baking cakes and bringing them to the programs every week for over 20 years.

“I greatly respect the clients and what they’re doing,” said Skinner, sharing that she knows the great impact that going to treatment can have in helping people find recovery from addiction.

Skinner started by baking one cake and realized that wasn’t enough, so she brought more. She asked the clients if they shared the cake with adolescents, and when she found out they didn’t, she brought the teens their own cakes.

The event was part of Recovery Month, which takes place each September and spreads the message that behav-

ioral health is essential to overall health, that prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recovery.

The event also featured a performance by Phoenix House patients and recognition of alumni who have remained successful in recovery.

INTER-SERVICE CLUB COUNCIL TO HOST ANNUAL LUNCHEON: The In-

ter-Service Club Council of Arlington will host its 64th annual luncheon on Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 11:30 a.m. at Washington Golf & Country Club.

The event will feature presentation of the organization’s Man of the Year and Woman of the Year honors. Karen Coltrane, new CEO of the Leadership Center for Excellence, will be the keynote speaker.

The cost is $30, and registration is required by Nov. 9. For information and to register, e-mail Ed Nolen at ecnolen@ hotmail.com or call (703) 533-2953.

Founded in 1941, the Inter-Service Club Council of Arlington serves as a clearinghouse for the community’s service organizations, which, combined, provide approximately 100,000 hours of volunteer-service efforts per year.

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS TO SPOTLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION: The Arlington

League of Women Voters will present a forum – “The Most Dangerous Threat to Our Freedoms You Didn’t Know About” – on Saturday, Nov. 3 at 1 p.m. at George Mason University’s Arlington campus, 3301 North Fairfax Drive.

The program will discuss the possibility of a national constitutional convention. To date, 28 states formally have called for one, leaving it just six states short of reaching the constitutional requirement of 34 states.

“There are no rules and guidelines in the U.S. Constitution on how a convention would work, which creates an opportunity for a runaway convention that could rewrite any constitutional right or protection currently available to American citizens,” League of Women Voters officials said.

The program will feature Tina Zimmerman, a retired attorney, who will discuss the process for convening a new constitutional convention and the forces it could unleash.

The program is free, but registration is required. For information, see the Web site at www.lwv-arlingtonva.org.

Yorktown Holds on For Victory

Teeing Off

Qualifying Standards Need to Be Adjusted At least at the highest levels of play, something needs to change regarding far too loose individual qualifying standards for postseason high-school golf competitions.

Generals, Warriors Rally, But Fall Short

Dave Facinoli

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

With key road victories Oct. 19, the Yorktown Patriots and South Lakes Seahawks remain tied for first place in the Liberty District football standings.

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP Yorktown (5-3, 3-0) defeated the Herndon Hornets, 14-7, for its fourth-straight win and South Lakes (6-2, 3-0) routed the McLean Highlanders, 42-7, in highschool action. Those wins set up an Oct. 26 showdown for first when the teams meet at South Lakes in Reston.

In Yorktown’s win over Herndon, there was no score in the first quarter, the Patriots led 7-0 at halftime and 14-0 after three quarters. Herndon cut the lead to 14-7 in the third quarter, then were driving for the tying touchdown, but did not score.

The Hornets (3-5, 2-1) also did not score in the first half despite three running plays from the Yorktown 1-yard line, with the Yorktown defense coming up big.

“Our defense played really well and we got out of there with a win,” Yorktown coach Bruce Hanson said. “It was Wakefield High School’s Lukai Hatcher hauls in a pass then cuts across the field looking for an open route against the Falls Church Jaguars during an Oct. 19 game.

O’Connell Runs Past Ireton in Conference Play DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

The game plan of using hurry-up power running game worked to the tune rushing and FOOTBALL ofthree322touchdowns, sparking a 20-14 victory for the host Bishop O’Connell Knights on Oct. 20 against their Northern Virginia rival Bishop Ireton Cardinals.

O’Connell running backs Kai Bowers and Darius Brown each ran for more than 100 yards in the triumph. Brown had 197 yards on 37 carries, including scoring runs of three and 12 yards in the high-school football game. Bowers ran for 126 yards 28

October 25, 2018

and Rodney Jackson had 16, including a six-yard scoring run. O’Connell did not turn the ball over.

The win snapped a three-game losing streak for O’Connell (2-6), giving the Knights a 1-2 record in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. Ireton fell to 1-7, 0-3.

The Knights won despite completing just one of only eight passes for six yards.

“Our game plan was to run and be physical,” O’Connell coach Colin Disch said. “I think the strength of our team is the offensive line. They battled and we have three good running backs.”

That line consisted of tight end Luke Byrne along with linemen Connor Mc-

Callister, Maurice Clark, John Murphy, Gage Maddy, John Jeffrey and Calvin Cunningham.

The victory was clinched when Bryce Jackson intercepted a long pass in Knights’ territory with 18 seconds to play.

Seconds earlier, a 39-yard punt by Steven Cobb put Ireton back on its 27-yard line to begin its final possession.

“Ireton didn’t quit and kept battling, but our kids finished the game,” Disch said. “We got a good snap on that punt, a great punt, then we got that interception.

It’s hard to beat anybody, and this was a good team win.”

Players in co-ed region tournaments, in addition those competing in qualifying events for the Virginia High School League’s Girls State Open, should not be carding 18-hole scores of 100 or higher. That’s what happened in multiple cases this fall.

At one 36-hole co-ed region tourney, three or four players carded scores higher than 100 for each round. Those players never should have qualified, especially when their scores were similar at the lower district-level tourneys.

Instead, much lower scores of players in other district events – and there were plenty – should have been advanced to region play.

At an 18-hole Girls State Open qualifying event, 40 players – more than half the field – shot 100 or higher. Of those, 16 had lofty rounds of 120 or higher, topping out at 156.

The standard to enter a girls statetourney qualifying event is a score of 50 or lower for nine holes, which isn’t always adhered to and is probably five strokes too high anyway.

If a player can shoot 50 or lower for nine holes, then how do they balloon to 120 or higher during an 18hole qualifying event when the playing conditions were ideal? That usually does not happen.

As a result of those high scores, playing rounds are taking five-plus hours to play, with darkness often becoming a factor.

Tournament officials, team coaches and administrators are aware of the issue. They agree that qualifying standards need to be lowered, the process changed or at least evaluated.

The scoring and individual talent in high-school golf – for girls and boys – has significantly improved over the years. Totals of 100 or higher no longer belong.

High-School Roundup GIRLS FIELD HOCKEY: The top-seed

Washington-Lee Generals (15-3) were nipped by the visiting, No. 2 seed and defending champion Langley Saxons, 3-2 in double overtime Oct.18 in the championship match of the Liberty District girls field hockey high-school tournament.

The loss snapped the Generals’ 15game winning streak.

Also at the qualifying round, Yorktown players Elena Rezac and Virginia Cochran each shot 91 and Wakefield’s Anne Kumashiro 94, but the three did not earn state berths.

The 36-hole state tournament was scheduled for Oct. 22-23 at Springfield Country Club.

WASHINGTON-LEE HALL OF FAME:

The Washington-Lee High School Athletic Hall of Fame will recognize individuals who through accomplishments have brought distinction and pride to the school and community as either an athlete, coach, teams administrator or contributor.

Athletes and teams become eligible five years after graduation or two years after retirement from other contributing positions. Selection and induction will be limited to six individuals per calendar year.

Nominations can be made by anyone, but must be submitted on forms, which contain specific guidelines and criteria.

Forms are available through the Washington-Lee student-activities office and the athletic-booster organization and should be submitted by Oct. 28. All applications will be kept on file for five years for reconsideration.

The Washington-Lee activities office phone number is (703) 228-6207.

six catches for 92 yards, Will Porter had four for 63, Max Patterson had three for 24 and Reilly and Evan Rotker each had two catches.

McCool and John Pius made big defensive plays to lead the Yorktown defense. n The Washington-Lee Generals (0-8, 0-3) and Wakefield Warriors (2-6, 0-3) each lost Oct. 19 in home district games.

Washington-Lee fell to the visiting Langley Saxons, 28-14, in a Liberty District clash, and Wakefield was topped by the Falls Church Jaguars, 55-20, in a National District contest.

Washington-Lee trailed 14-0 at halftime, then performed better in the second half, according to head coach Josh Shapiro.

“We played so physical in the second half and had a chance to win,” Shapiro

said.

A costly personal-foul penalty kept a Langley drive alive and led to a second-half touchdown, and a W-L player dropped an interception that would have been returned for a TD. “Our kids work hard and play hard.

It’s a shame we haven’t gotten a win yet,” Shapiro said.

Will Murphy was the Generals’ leading rusher with 56 yards, running for a touchdown, as did quarterback Ryan Dodds on a scramble. Dodd was 11 of 24 passing for 150 yards. Liam McBride had three catches and Will Montgomery Trent Colbert had two. Montgomery had two kickoff returns for 36 yards.

Pedro Palacios made four tackles on defense and kicked and extra point.

“We mixed the run and pass in the second half well and moved the ball, after

not doing anything on offense in the first half,” Shapiro said.

Wakefield never led against Falls Church, falling behind 14-0. It cut the lead to 14-13 then trailed 28-20 at halftime, scoring on a Hail Mary pass to end the second quarter. That touchdown was set up by an interception.

Falls Church outscored Wakefield, 27-0, in the second half.

For Wakefield, quarterback Cason Poythress was 7 of 14 passing for 90 yards, including a touchdown pass of 10 yards to Isaiah Mefford (three catches, 31 yards) and another of 30 to Lukai Hatcher (three catches, 42 yards).

Camryn Johnson (91 yards rushing) scored on a 16-yard TÎ run for Wakefield and Luis Pinto kicked two extra points.

Johnson also caught two passes for nine yards.

quarter upped the lead to 20-7. Sebastian Cognetti missed his third extra-point attempt after making his first two. Ireton cut the lead to 20-7 with 3:50 to play, then had one final possession.

On defense for O’Connell, Jackson batted down a pass and broke up another in addition to his interception; Paris Patterson also batted down a pass, had a tackle for a loss and recovered a fumble;

Cobb had an interception; Byrne broke up a pass; and Brown, Prince Tchaou and Rodney Jackson each had tackles for losses.

O’Connell plays at Fork Union on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 27 in a non-conference game.

NOTES: With one WCAC game to play, O’Connell is right now the fourth and final seed in the four-team Metro Di-

vision playoffs. The Knights conclude the regular-season with an away league game against Paul VI Catholic (6-2, 2-0). “Paul VI is doing some good things. That will be a tough game,” Disch said . . . O’Connell was without starting receiver/defensive back/kick returner Jahmal Banks for the third straight week. He is out with a leg injury. His status for the remaining games is uncertain.
