VIHSTADT OUSTED FROM COUNTY BOARD

De Ferranti Aided by Democratic Get-Out-the-Vote Effort; County Bonds Pass PATRIOTS HEAD TO THE PLAYOFFS

JOHN VIHSTADT

Aided by a strong get-out-the-vote effort that built upon local voters’ anger with the Trump administration, Democrat Matt de Ferranti on Tuesday unseated one-term independent County Board member John Vihstadt. De Ferranti garnered 53 percent of the vote to 46 percent for Vihstadt in complete but unofficial returns. In other races, Democratic School Board member Barbara Kanninen won a second term, easily fending off a challenge by independent candidate Audrey Clement in a rerun of the 2014 School Board race. And U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) cruised to victory over Republican Thomas Oh while U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine scored a significant victory (in Arlington and across the commonwealth) against Republican Corey Stewart. All four county bond referendums on the Nov. 6 ballot passed: $103 million for schools, $74.6 million for transportation and transit, $37 million for community infrastructure and $29.3 million for parks. County voters also supported two statewide bond referendums. Find full coverage inside on Page 4.

Arlington Public Schools’ internal auditor says he will continue work on comparing Arlington’s school-construction costs to those of other jurisdictions. Auditor John Mickevice said ongoing work on construction costs would be one of four pillars of his 2019 audit plan. School Board members in October approved the work plan for the coming year. Mickevice and an outside firm spent much of 2018 compiling and comparing data on construction costs for Arlington schools and those elsewhere in the country. The report, whose release was delayed for several months under somewhat mysterious circumstances, finally appeared on Oct. 1. (The full report is available at https://bit.ly/2P9C9fu.) O’Connor Construction Management Inc., which produced the report under contract to the school system, suggested that Arlington’s school-construction costs are higher than they otherwise would be due to limited land availability, the county government’s cumbersome permitting requirements and an extensive communityT:9.6”engagement process. The report had been slated to be dis-

cussed at an early-August joint meeting between the audit committees of the School Board and County Board. But with the report then in limbo, the meeting was nixed at the last minute. The two audit committees are now slated to discuss the report at a joint meeting on Nov. 20. The high cost of school construction in Arlington is again taking on an air of urgency, as the county government (and school system) are bumping up against self-imposed limits on capital spending. Several proposed school projects have busted their initial budgets, and of the five members of the School Board, only Reid Goldstein seems overtly focused on cost-containment. Earlier this year, County Manager Mark Schwartz publicly criticized school officials for seeking too much of the government’s available capital-funding capacity, saying he could not support pushing other government projects back and allow schools to go to the front of the queue. In addition to continuing work on construction costs, Mickevice’s 2019 work plan will look at activity fees charged by schools; financial controls on funds that are received at schools; and transportation costs for special-education students and others that are required under federal law.

Marymount’s New President Works on To-Do List A moderate but steady increase in enrollment, more emphasis on online degree programs and addressing antiquated information-technology infrastructure are among the items atop the to-do list of Marymount University’s new president. But just as important, Irma Becerra said, was living up to the ideals set forth by the institution’s founders seven decades ago. “We want students to know that they can make a difference in the world,” Becerra said at an Oct. 31 meeting of the Kiwanis Club of Arlington. An engineer and education administrator who was born in Cuba, raised in Puerto Rico and spent much of her previous career in Florida, Becerra in July became Marymount’s seventh president, succeeding Matthew Shank. The university was founded in 1950 by the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (RSHM), an order of Roman Catholic nuns, to provide a practical education for women underpinned by the liberal arts. Becerra said the effort was ahead of its time, and while the institution has evolved into a full university serving

both sexes, its students remain its most valuable asset. “They are smart, they are eloquent, they are confident. I’m so proud of them,” Becerra said. The university’s current enrollment of about 4,000 could rise to “maybe 8,000” in coming years, counting increases both in on-campus and online students, Becerra said. It’s a number that would still be small, but give the university more flexibility in finding its niche in the education arena. “It’s become a hyper-competitive environment,” the new president said of the competition to land students. “Everybody’s trying to understand where their Marymount president Irma Becerra speaks to members of the Kiwanis Club of Arlington on Oct. 31. place in the market is.” PHOTO BY DICK BARR Marymount has embarked on a strategic-planning effort, certificate programs, and em“She’s really made a great launch of a $40 million capital which aims to wrap up in early barking on a $6 million update presence,” he said. campaign, redevelopment of springtime – around the same to the computers and other inFrom its founding until 2001, the university’s urban campus in time as Becerra’s March 28 inau- frastructure that the university Marymount’s presidency had Ballston and expansion of acaguration.

Vihstadt Couldn’t Withstand Blue Wave SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

In the final analysis, there was probably nothing John Vihstadt could have done to retain his seat on the Arlington County Board. Vihstadt, who rode to victory in 2014 on a wave of voter discontent on local issues, was ousted Tuesday by voters unhappy – some to the point of outrage – about the situation on the national front. Matt de Ferranti, who until the start of campaign season was largely unknown to most outside the local Democratic establishment, unseated Vihstadt by the sheer volume of voters who turned out to send a message – not to the incumbent board member, but to Donald Trump. Vihstadt, in essence, became collateral damage, unable to offset the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s massive get-out-the-vote effort. “Voters view the County Board and Arlington differently than in 2014, because the issues we face are different and our leaders are different,” de Ferranti told the Sun Gazette as he waited for voters to render a verdict. Frank O’Leary, Arlington’s retired county treasurer who has spent decades studying voting trends in Arlington, suggested that Vihstadt was doomed if more than 79,000 people voted in the County Board race. His prediction was based on

the expectation that, after calculating the expected base voter turnout for each candidate (about 35,000 for Vihstadt and 27,500 for de Ferranti), the Democrat would win about 75 percent of all remaining votes cast. In fact, just over 100,000 Arlington voters cast ballots in the County Board race, with 53,330 (53 percent) going to de Ferranti, 46,164 to Vihstadt, plus 591 write-ins. Vihstadt simply couldn’t overcome the “absence of incendiary issues” that helped propel him to victory in 2014, O’Leary said. Vihstadt, who has lived in Arlington for 35 years and long has been a civic leader, rode a wave of local discontent over issues ranging from capital spending to the perceived arrogance of the all-Democratic Arlington County Board by winning, in rapid succession, a special election in the spring of 2014 and the general election that November. Democrats reacted to those embarrassing drubbings by taking action: killing off the planned Columbia Pike streetcar, shuttering the Artisphere arts center, downscaling the Long Bridge Park aquatics center; and paying more attention to operating and capital spending. Since 2014, three new Democrats – Katie Cristol, Christian Dorsey and Erik Gutshall – have joined the five-member body, replacing Walter Tejada, Mary

Matt de Ferranti will take office in January, becoming the newest member of the Arlington County Board.

Hynes and Jay Fisette, each of whom resigned after long tenures in elected office. The result seems to have been a calming of the local political waters, and the local electorate by 2016 had coalesced behind Democrats once again. Donald Trump’s presidential bid garnered just 17 percent of the vote in Arlington, far lower than that of previous Republican candidates. The change in mood among the electorate was visible in Vihstadt’s 2018 reelection strategy. While four years ago, he ran as an independent but accepted formal backing from the Arlington County Republican Committee, this year he steered clear of any affiliation with Republicans. For de Ferranti, an attorney (like Vihstadt) and member of the county government’s Housing Commission, the election was a referendum on putting the past to rest and heading into the future. “Voters are ready to move forward to our next challenges: concerns with our continued high office-vacancy rates and action to address crowded schools,” he said. “I think voters are looking for problem-solvers.” Dorsey, who is likely to serve as County Board chairman in 2019, supported de Ferranti – albeit kept him waiting until two weeks before the election to do so. In his endorsement, Dorsey said de Ferranti offered “bold, creative leadership.” “He has a progressive, proactive platform that will infuse the board with innovative ideas Arlington residents deserve,” Dorsey said. Clerk of the Circuit Court Paul Ferguson, a Democrat who had a long career on the County Board and spent most of Election Day talking to voters, said the electorate was informed on the local race. “Voters that discussed issues with me were interested in Arlington making the needed investments in schools, public safety, environmental initiatives and general infrastructure,” said Ferguson, who provided behind-the-scenes guidance to de Ferranti. Ferguson said that a Vihstadt cam-

paign workers were touting that Vihstadt adds balance to the board, but “three different voters told me they thought ‘balance’ was a code word for ‘conservative’,” he said. De Ferranti, who had not previously sought elected office, in the spring defeated Chanda Choun in the Democratic primary to move on to the general election. A resident of Arlington for the past five years, he grew up in nearby McLean. In the 2014 general election, Vihstadt had defeated Democrat Alan Howze, 56 percent to 44 percent. De Ferranti was able to outperform Howze’s totals in nearly all parts of the county, including a number of areas where Vihstadt needed to run up the tally: • In Madison precinct, Vihstadt had defeated Howze 1,203 to 474, but his margin against de Ferranti was 1,228 to 644. • In Westover precinct, Vihstadt had defeated Howze 797 to 511, but his margin of victory was cut to 826 to 762 against de Ferranti. De Ferranti, meanwhile, rolled up majorities in precincts that are strongly Democratic, although Vihstadt (aided by the support of Garvey) won Fairlington. The two candidates effectively split Lyon Village. The last County Board incumbent to be defeated for re-election was Mike Lane, a Republican who in the spring of 1999 won a special election for the seat of Al Eisenberg (who took a post in the Clinton administration) but later that year was defeated by Democrat Charles Monroe. The last board incumbent defeated after serving at least a full term was Republicanleaning independent Walter Frankland Jr., who was ousted in 1983. With the 2018 election in the history books, eyes now turn to 2019. The seats of Cristol and Dorsey will be on the ballot, and while nothing is cast in stone, each is assumed to be mulling a re-election bid. Prognosticator O’Leary says the offoff-year election of 2019 presents an opportunity for a non-Democrat, since general-election turnout could be as low as 35,000 to 40,000 voters, which would blunt the power of the Democratic turnout-the-vote apparatus. An independent “would be contesting with two Democratic incumbents, making for some interesting dynamics,” O’Leary said. But unless Vihstadt decides to make another run, the potential field of nonDemocrats looks rather sparse. De Ferranti, meanwhile, will be sworn in next month and will formally take office in early January. In the School Board race, which was a rematch of 2014, Democrat Barbara Kanninen easily won a new term in a race against perennial candidate Audrey Clement, who tried to tap into voter discontent with the School Board but garnered just 31 percent of the vote – about the same amount she received when last battling Kanninen in 2014.

School Could Be Named for a Civil-Rights Icon SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

An Arlington civic and civil-rights icon is in the running to become the namesake of the county’s next middle SCHOOL school. BOARD The name of Dorothy NOTES Hamm is one of those suggested by the task force empaneled by the School Board to consider names for the school, located on Vacation Lane just north of Lee Highway, when it reverts to a neighborhood middle school. Currently, the complex is home to the H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program and Stratford Program. Other names being considered include “Stratford Middle School” and “Legacy Middle School.” Hamm (1919-2004) and her family were active in civil-rights struggles in Virginia. She and her son, Edward Hamm Jr., were part of a court case that, when combined with others, in 1959 resulted in the integration of what until then had been the all-white Stratford Junior High School. Later, Hamm and her husband, Edward Hamm Sr., participated in efforts to overturn Virginia’s poll tax, as well as end segregation of theaters and sports teams in Arlington. Two years before her death at the age of 85, Hamm was lauded by the Virginia General Assembly for “her exemplary dedication to the cause of equal rights for all Virginians.” Hamm, who lived in Arlington until retiring to Caroline County in 1987, also wrote books and plays discussing her own experiences and the broader struggles of African-Americans.

lington school officials are being pressed by one board member to be more specific in analyzing data related to graduation and drop-out rates of minority students. School Board Vice Chairman Tannia Talento says minority students – those classified as black, Latino and Asian – could end up “falling through the cracks” if more attention isn’t given to their individual cases. Talento’s main concern centers on minority students who are proficient in English but face challenges related to getting to graduation day. Arlington’s on-time-graduation rate for the Class of 2018 varied by racial and ethnic group: 99 percent for white students, 96 percent for Asian students, 94 percent for black students and 82 percent for Latino students. What those broadbrush figures do not show is the differential in rates between students who are new to the U.S. and the English language, and those who are proficient or native speakers of English. “We need to break this out,” Talento said of the data. “Are we actually meeting the needs of all our students who are Hispanic – same with the Asian population and the black population? Is there a way we can see that data?” “A lot of people assume that if you’re Hispanic in APS, you are an English-language learner,” Talento said, but pointed to herself as an exception: She is na-

tive-born and grew up proficient in English, but still faced headwinds learning in Arlington’s schools – dropping out at one point and garnering a high-school diploma through one of the school system’s alternative programs. Laura Newton, the school system’s director of student services, said Talento’s own experience was emblematic of how the school system should be operating. “Individualized or personalized learning is the answer,” Newton said, pointing to a range of efforts that have been put in place in recent years to cut drop-out rates and increase the number of students who graduate high school in four years. Though not without bobbles up and down, the efforts seem to be working. The 2018 on-time-graduation rate marked the sixth year in a row it stood above 90 percent, and the dropout rate of 5 percent was the lowest since a rate of 3.8 percent was reported in 2014. APS Officials to Mull Re-Introducing HVAC Courses: Arlington school officials say they are continuing to look at resurrecting coursework in heating, air-conditioning and ventilation [HVAC] or trying to build partnerships that will provide the courses. The lack of such coursework long has been a thorn in the side of School Board member Nancy Van Doren, who feels Arlington Public Schools is falling behind by not offering students opportunities in the

HVAC field. “We used to have it. Other jurisdictions have it,” Van Doren said at a recent School Board meeting. “I hope I don’t have to sit here for years and ask this question.” Kris Martini, director of the school system’s career and technical education programs, said it’s on his radar screen. “We are looking at that right now, how we could do that,” he said. But there are issues. “We also need to look at space and the equipment we would need – we need to kind of plan that out. It’s not something we can do overnight,” Martini said. School officials also would need to survey students to see the level of interest, and to apprise state education officials of plans. The easiest route could be to partner with Northern Virginia Community College. It offers HVAC coursework, but not at the Alexandria campus, which is closest to Arlington. “Could we convince them to teach it there?” a hopeful Van Doren asked, while also suggesting that the school system could partner with an HVAC firm to provide on-site educational opportunities. Van Doren pressed school staff to get a proposal ready so the courses could be considered for inclusion in the 2019-20 school year. “Course-selection time will be coming up soon,” she said.

Highs & Lows THUMBS UP: To what appears to be a good start at the state and county level in preparing for an influx of new Medicaid patients, now that Virginia officials have agreed to participate in expansion of the program. A recent forum hosted by Del. Patrick Hope showed that state health leaders already have in place the process for prospective new enrollees to participate, and are working hard to disseminate the information to localities and social-service providers. As one of those providers told us, it’s rare that the state government is as

proactive as it’s been in this case. And for the good of the entire health-care system, that’s a positive development. THUMBS DOWN: To the Arlington County Board’s quixotic, perhaps schizophrenic, approach to transparency, which appears to boil down to “we’ll be transparent when we want to be.” Latest case in point: Board members snuck onto the very end of their October agenda a deal that saw police lieutenants collect a combined payout of over $1.2 million (averaging just under $40,000 apiece) to end a battle

over the government’s overtime pay for these positions. There’s no scandal to report here: Apparently there was a difference of opinion about how overtime should be calculated, and Arlington officials decided their view was wrong and the lieutenants should get the extra cash. We have no problem with that. But the public wasn’t notified in advance, so far as we could tell, and the item wasn’t placed on any agenda we saw. What’s with shrouding the entire episode in secrecy? It seems to be the case too often in local governance.

Police Need to Focus on E-Scooter Scofflaws

Editor: Contrary to the Arlington County’s government’s optimism, electric scooters (“shared mobility devices”) certainly do not make the community better, safer and more sustainable. As I drive through all parts of Arlington every day, I am confronted with e-scooter riders who disregard all of the

county’s PAL warnings (be predictable, alert and lawful). I have seen scooters: • Weave in and out of traffic. • Ride in the wrong direction. • Ignore traffic lights. • Ride on sidewalks. • Make turns directly into the path of pedestrians trying to cross a street. • Go too fast for the road conditions,

e.g., complicated construction sites or congested areas like Ballston. County police should get involved. If the police pulled over a couple of these scooter scofflaws, word might reach the e-scooter community that traffic rules actually apply to them, too. Judy Cusick Arlington

Editor: I am sensitive to the anger of some that a person who led an insurrection in the name of slavery should be recalled every time a school’s name is mentioned. I am equally moved by passionate awareness that the school name has not been an homage to that person for most, if not all, of its history. “Washington-Lee,” in Arlington, does not conjure historic figures as much as it invokes thousands of honorable graduates who claim an alma mater with a 93-year-old record of excellence in education. The School Board has proposed eradication of the name as a way to

rectify a decision made nearly a century ago. But even if it is changed, the name will not vanish: It will take at least six decades before all Washington graduates will cease to call out the name, include it in their résumés, cite it in their obituary. A name change is a token gesture which ignores the deeper issue: we as a society, not necessarily as a school, are still fraught with racism. I propose that W-L already addresses this issue in many admirable ways that are reflected by the success of its diverse student body. Those who are uncomfortable are not going to be assuaged by a different name, because the challenge goes much deeper than that.

What should we do? Replace the iconic military profiles on the school logo. Teach that both of Washington and Lee, in the course of life after wars, offer a priceless message of reconciliation. Simultaneously burnish the image of Washington with a renewed dedication to universal inclusion. Close the achievement gap. Equalize male and female students. Save the cost of the name change and, at the same time, respect the diverse community of thousands who depend on the historic value of this name. Keep the name and support this real change. Ann Felker Arlington

Editor: As a graduate of Washington-Lee High School, I read with interest and not a little amusement the many discussions of the proposal to change the names of that high school and many other public schools in Arlington. Many of the schools are on the target list for renaming because they are named for various colonial plantations where slaves were held.

I wish to point out that Arlington itself is named for not one but two colonial plantations – the familiar local one that became Arlington National Cemetery and the original Custis family plantation on the lower Eastern Shore. So, will the county also be renamed because slaves were held on those plantations? Arlington and its schools have earned enviable brand recognition for quality

of life and educational excellence over the decades. Arlington students have succeeded in business, the arts, medicine, science, engineering, the space program and in many other walks of life. The effect of abandoning that brand recognition should be carefully weighed in the current debate. John Krout Arlington

APS Leaders: No Decisions ARLINGTON’S on Elementary Boundaries REALTOR® Until Public Input Is Weighed SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington school leaders say nothing has been cast in stone when it comes to adjusting elementary-school boundaries, but that the clock is ticking toward decision-making. “I have heard as I’ve been out in the community that decisions have been made. People are under that impression – [but] no decisions have been made,” Superintendent Patrick Murphy said as he prepared to finalize a staff proposal that could see boundaries revamped at more than a half-dozen elementaries in the central and southern parts of the county. The schools whose boundaries are in play in this round of adjustments include Abingdon, Barcroft, Drew, Fleet (the new school to replace Patrick Henry), Hoffman-Boston, Long Branch, Oakridge and Randolph elementaries. Response to initial proposals has been predictable, with parents whose children might be moved voicing anger and inundating School Board members with complaints and (this being Arlington) a raft of data attempting to prove why other options should be considered. Murphy unveiled his final proposal on Nov. 5, kicking off a month-long and potentially bruising period leading up to a planned School Board vote on Dec. 6. In the interim, there will be a School Board meeting to dissect the proposal on Nov. 8 and a public hearing set for Nov. 27. “There’s ample time for . . . give and take to take place,” Murphy said at a lateOctober School Board meeting Under Murphy’s proposal, boundary adjustments would impact about 16 percent of students in the affected attendance areas, with just under 700 students reassigned for the 2019-20 school year. Still up in the air is to what degree there might be grandfathering of students, for instance

those headed into the fifth (final) grade of elementary school next fall. (The full plan can be found at www. apsva.us/engage.) The boundary changes would not necessarily do much to reduce overcrowding; student enrollment would range from 88 percent to 120 percent next fall at the impacted schools. Coming to a decision on Dec. 6 is not cast in stone, but school officials do want to have plans in place by Jan. 28, when the school system holds its annual information night for parents of students heading to kindergarten next September. School Board members, who will make the final decision, said they are listening to the public. “There is still time to provide feedback. Any of these proposals could be changed,” board vice chairman Tannia Talento said. “It’s important that the community stay engaged to the very end.” At a recent School Board meeting, Barbara Kanninen – who in 2017 led an unsuccessful effort to oust Murphy as superintendent – intimated she wasn’t satisfied with the options on the table, and hoped another would be presented by the superintendent. At the same time, Kanninen acknowledged the Whac-a-Mole nature of boundary adjustments. “If you move one thing, you have to move other things,” she said. With Arlington’s enrollment continuing to grow and new schools coming online to meet it, changes to school boundaries have become as much a fact of life in Arlington as they were during the height of the Baby Boom. School Board members in 2013 and 2015 went through elementary-school redistricting, with high-school changes coming in 2016 and middle-school adjustments in 2017. Each effort had its share of contentiousness both among the public and board members.

Obituary THOMAS WILLIAM MAHER

Thomas William Maher, of Arlington, VA died unexpectedly of natural causes at home on May 29, 2018 at the age of 77 years. Tom was born in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York, on November 4, 1940 to parents Olga Frankevich Maher and Thomas Steven Maher. He graduated from Hastings High School in 1958, where he achieved high academic honors and excelled as a baseball pitcher. He went on to earn an undergraduate degree from Harvard University in 1962 and a graduate degree from Stanford Law School in 1971. Tom served proudly in the United States Navy in active duty from 1962-67, earning the rank of Lieutenant. He continued in the Naval Reserve until transferring to the Retired Reserve in 1986. Tom spent his professional career working for the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Before and after retiring from his work with the VA, Tom pursued a passion of volunteer work with Hogar Hispano of the Diocese of Arlington (later Catholic Charities) from 1988 until recently, helping immigrants navigate the complexities of immigration laws. Throughout his life, Tom reached out to help others less fortunate than himself, and gave generously of himself, his time, and resources. Tom enjoyed traveling the world, including a memorable trip with his sister to their maternal grandparents’ homeland of Belarus in 1995, where they met many relatives. Some more recent excursions were to Egypt, Mexico, Morocco and Algiers. Tom had a particular fondness for Central America, especially Honduras, and the Caribbean Island community and culture of the Dominican Republic, where he visited frequently and had many close friends. Tom is survived by his sister, Deborah Maher and her two children, Nikki Graham and Jason Chatman and their families of Massachusetts; his former partner and dear friend, Kyle Skov of California; a large extended family of cousins on both the Frankevich and Maher sides; his friend Clare Cherkasky of Virginia; and many dear friends in the Dominican Republic. He will be missed by all who knew and loved him. Tom will be buried at sea by the US Navy out of Norfolk, VA.

Updated, Renovated Property Includes Large, Lush Grounds

Featuring a lush and one of the largest rear yards in sought-after Country Club Hills, this week’s featured property is a delight: A home that retains much of its mid-20th-century provenance while benefiting from an expansion that took the home outward and upward and created additional dimensions. The result is an urban-village delight, a home that features lots of light and offers un-stuffy formal spaces and traffic flow that works exceptionally well for entertaining in style as well as daily living. Plus, you’re set back in one of Arlington showplace neighborhoods, and yet find yourself just a single stoplight to the District of Columbia. The property, totaling just under 4,200 square feet of interior space and set on a lot of 16,000 square feet, currently is on the market, listed at $1,649,000 by Billy Buck of Buck & Associates. As we embark on an exploration of three levels of standout spaces, note the attention to detail, from the gorgeous hardwoods to sumptuous fireplaces. To the left off the foyer is the ample living room, with the first of those aforementioned fireplaces. Continuing in a clockwise direction, we come upon the dining room and behind it the family

room, which offers lovely vistas over the flat rear yard. The eat-in kitchen and adjacent breakfast areas occupies the center of the rear of the main level, offering a wood-burning fireplace and access to the copious patio area. Three bedrooms are found on the main level, while the upper level is home to the private master suite, with exceptional space, glorious walk-in closets and a stunner bath. All told, this space totals 1,300 luxurious square feet. Downstairs, you will find a large family room with fireplace, plus laundry facilities, a mud room and bathroom. A two-car garage rounds out the package. It’s hard to go wrong in Country Club Hills, and this week’s featured property offers a marvelous opportunity to meld

past, present and future as one. Articles are prepared by the Sun Gazette’s real estate advertising department on behalf of clients. For information on the home, contact the listing agent.

Builder Confidence Remains at Summer Level Builder confidence in the market for newly-built single-family homes rose one point to 68 in October on the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index. Confidence levels have held in the high 60s since June. “Builders are motivated by solid housing demand, fueled by a growing economy and a generational low for unemployment,” said NAHB chairman Randy Noel, a custom home builder from LaPlace, La. “Builders are also relieved that lumber prices have declined for three straight months from elevated levels earlier this summer, but they need to manage supply-side costs to keep home prices affordable.” But challenges remain. “Favorable economic conditions and demographic tailwinds should continue to support demand, but housing affordability has become a challenge due to ongoing price and interest rate increases,” said NAHB chief economist Robert Dietz. “Unless housing affordability stabilizes, the market risks losing additional momentum as we head into 2019.” Derived from a monthly survey that NAHB has been conducting for 30 years, the index gauges builder perceptions of current single-family home sales and sales expectations for the next six months as “good,” “fair” or “poor.” The survey also asks builders to rate traffic of prospective buyers as “high to very high,” “average” or “low to very low.” Scores for each component are then used to calculate a seasonally adjusted index where any number over 50 indicates that more builders view conditions as good than poor. The HMI index measuring current sales conditions rose one point to 74 and the component gauging expectations in the next six months increased a single point to 75. Meanwhile, the metric charting buyer traffic registered a four-point uptick to 53. Looking at the three-month moving averages for regional HMI scores, the Northeast rose three points to 57 and the South edged up one point to 71. The West held steady at 74 and the Midwest fell two points to 57.

Sister Cities are Queried for Ideas on Enhancing Economic Development SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Is there a way for the Arlington County government to leverage the community’s Sister City relationships to promote economic developCOUNTY ment? That cerNOTES tainly seems to be an option on the table. “There are a lot of opportunities – we’re going to be starting to look at different ways of using them,” board member Libby Garvey said at a recent discussion focused on the 25th anniversary of the county’s Sister Cities program. That effort began in 1993 with a partnership between Arlington and the German city of Aachen. It since has grown to include partnerships with Coyoacán, Mexico; Reims, France; San Miguel, El Salvador; and Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine. Representatives from Aachen and Reims recently were in Arlington. In addition to cultural exchanges, there were discussions among business and government leaders on issues such as energy, transit and the arts. Garvey pointed to a municipal initia-

tive in Aachen, which has developed a pilot program and launched driverless buses in the community. “We’re certainly interested in it,” she said. Arlington’s Sister Cities relationships are overseen by a non-profit organization, although the county government does provide some funding. In 2016, the county government and Arlington Sister City Association inked a memorandum of understanding that updated the relationship. The international Sister Cities effort began as an effort of the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s, aiming to build friendships and promote people-topeople exchanges in a world that had been ravaged by two world wars in 35 years. Today, more than 2,000 communities in 130 countries take part. County Board to Consider Use Permit for New Elementary: Arlington County Board members later this month will take up consideration of the School Board’s plan to build a new elementary school next to Westover Library on North McKinley Road. The project’s capacity would total 732 students; the budgeted cost is $49 million, although School Board members in August approved a schematic design that might result in the cost rising to $55 million. The new school will be built on the site of the original Walter Reed Elementary School, which operated from 1939 to 1984. Subsequently, the parcel has been used for a variety of school and library uses. County Board approval of a use permit is necessary for the project to go forward. School officials aim to have the facility completed and the school open at the start of the 2021-22 school year. The Sun Gazette long has been Arlington’s source for news and information.

Patriots Hold off Generals

Teeing Off

Will Playoffs Change to Friday-Night Dry Spells? Hopefully the playoffs will bring dry weather. That would be welcomed after what was one of the wettest and most foul-weather strings of Friday nights during the 2018 high-school football campaign in recent years.

Knights, Warriors Finish with Losses

Dave Facinoli

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

One of the biggest and most popular high-school sporting events each year in Arlington is the annual football showdown between the Washington-Lee Generals and Yorktown Patriots in the final regular-season game for each team.

FOOTBALL ROUNDUP The year’s Liberty District contest was played in the rain Nov. 1 and host Yorktown (6-4, 4-1) won, 16-7, for the second straight time to become the 2018 Arlington County public-school champion and finish second in the league behind South Lakes (5-0). Washington-Lee finished 1-9, 1-4. Yorktown moves on to the 6D North Region playoffs as the eighth seed, playing a first-round game Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. against top seed Westfield (10-0). Yorktown coach Bruce Hanson complimented Washington-Lee on its strong play. “They were a one-win team and came in here and those kids played hard and A tackle by Washington-Lee High School linebacker Minh Giang causes Yorktown quarterback Grant Wilson to fumble during the Nov. 2 game on a rainy night.

Knights Win Tennis Title; Generals Advance A Staff Report

The Bishop O’Connell Knights girls tennis team won the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference tournament championship. That was after finishing regular-season play with a 7-0 record. “Everyone contributed,” O’Connell coach Eric Parson said. “We knew we had a chance to win the conference.” Singles champions for O’Connell in the competition were sophomore and undefeated Isabelle Chang at No. 1, senior Jennifer Gulley at No. 4 and junior Valencia McIntosh at No. 6. Doubles champions were Chang and senior Alexandria Barrett at No. 1 and Gulley 16

November 8, 2018

and Anne Clerici at No. 2. Annemarie Cake was second at No. 2 singles.

HIGH SCHOOL ROUNDUP Overall, the Knights had a 9-3 record and are ranked No. 7 in the state’s Division I private-school state poll. Other players for O’Connell were Elena Turner, Sarah Subach, Sofie Scheffman, Corinne Reusch, Katelyn McIntosh, Elliston Kilgallon, Emily Bower, Abril Brea Dotel, Italia Brown and Tiffany Ho. WASHINGTON-LEE VOLLEYBALL: After

a first-round bye, the Liberty District champion Washington-Lee Generals

(23-3) defeated visiting Battlefield, 3-0, in quarterfinal action of the 6D North Region tournament. It was the team’s 10th straight win. The Generals were scheduled to host Westfield in a semifinal match earlier this week. REGION TOURNEY FIELD HOCKEY: The Wakefield Warriors lost 1-0 in double overtime to visiting Briar Woods (16-2) in a first-round game of the 5C North Region tournament. Briar Woods’ goal came with 7:08 left in the second OT. Wakefield ended the season with a 7-9-1 record, finishing 1-1 in the previous National District tournament.

Continued on Page 18

The 11-week regular season ended Nov. 2 on what was another rainy Friday evening. Of those 11 weeks, it rained in some fashion seven times. Numerous contests were postponed on three consecutive Fridays because of thunderstorms. So some dry and storm-free Fridays would be welcomed with three teams from the Sun Gazette coverage areas in the Virginia High School League playoffs, with two private schools in other postseason competitions. In Arlington, the Yorktown Patriots will be a low seed in the 6D Northern Region playoffs. Yorktown’s success will depend on how effective it passes the ball. The Patriots likely will have to win high-scoring games in order to advance. In the eight-team 6D playoffs from the Vienna area are the Madison Warhawks and Marshall Statesmen. Madison will be a favorite to reach at least the semifinals if not win the championship, likely needing to knock off defending champion Westfield along the way. Marshall is a longshot to reach the title game, but could make the semis. On the private-school scene, the undefeated Flint Hill Huskies (9-0) of Oakton are huge favorites to repeat as Division I state champions. Flint Hill hasn’t been challenged in any games this fall, and could face a couple of repeat opponents in the state playoffs. Arlington’s Bishop O’Connell enters the four-team Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Metro Division playoffs as the No. 4 seed, but not necessarily a huge longshot. It will take its best football of the season, but an O’Connell title is possible. It would be nice to have dry weather to play and watch those games.

Arlington Runners Win, Shine at Regional Meet

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

With a couple of surprising winning performances, high-school cross country runners from Arlington enjoyed their best CROSS COUNTRY overall showing in modern history in 6D North Region boys and girls championships at Burke Lake Park. With 81 points, the Washington-Lee Generals won the Nov. 1 girls team title, led by senior and third-place finisher Eva Smith Perry (18:06) on the 2.98-mile course. Defending champion Madison was second with 96. In the boys race, Yorktown Patriots junior Albert Velikonja was the individual champion in 15:40. It was the first victory of his career for the first-year cross country runner, nicknamed the “Filipino Flyer” by teammates. Both the W-L girls and Velikonja were hoping to win, but were not necessarily expecting that outcome. “I thought we misheard it or something when they announced we won,” said a surprised Smith-Perry, squeezing the region first-place trophy. “We really wanted this, but we didn’t know if it would be our best race. It all worked out.” Washington-Lee coach Bill Drake said the key to the victory was having a strong approach. “It’s a mental thing with them,” he said. “They were as tough as possible, they all did their jobs and had solid races.” Also for the W-L girls, Eva Arnade finished eighth (18:38), Caroline Emanuel 18th (19:12), Anna Harpel 24th (19:28), Elizabeth Holemans 33rd (19:49), Emily Cunningham 51st (20:14) and Jennifer Gerson 68th (21:05). Prior to the region meet, the W-L girls won Liberty District and Arlington County championships this fall, with Smith-Perry winning both races. The Yorktown girls placed sixth in

the region meet and were led by runnerup Piper Dean (18:05), who had a strong finish down the final hill to stay ahead of Smith-Perry. Anna Macon Corcoran was 20th (19:14) and Catherine Whitehouse 21st (19:27) for Yorktown. Velikonja’s winning boys time of 15:40 was 16 seconds faster than a week earlier, when he placed third in the Liberty District meet on the same course. His strategy in the region meet was to start slower and finish faster. “I knew coming in I was one of the top 10 best runners in the race. I went out too fast at districts. So today, I wanted to see how the race was going, then make my move down the last hill,” said Velikonja, who nipped second-place Kevin Murphy (15:40) of Madison at the finish. “This is the best day of my life.” Washington-Lee’s Jonny Jackson was 24th (16:19) in the boys region. The W-L boys were eighth and Yorktown 10th. n At the Region 5C meet in Ashburn, the Wakefield girls were sixth and led by a 25th individually by Kareena Stowers (21:17). In the boys meet, Wakefield’s Jackson Ringer was 21st (17:32).

“Getting hurt is part of the game, and we were on the short end of that with Ryan,” Washington-Lee coach Josh Shapiro said. “Ryan was running well and we liked our game plan of having him run. If he could have played the whole game, we think things would have been different.” Andrew Bolfek played in place of Dodds, completing 6 of 17 passes for 71 yards. “He came onto a big stage and did well,” Shapiro said. On a speed sweep play, wide receiver Max Patterson (three catches, 33 yards) ran 65 yards for a touchdown on Yorktown’s first offensive play. A 30-yard field goal by Jonas Garufi, who booted one extra point, gave the Patriots a 10-0 second-quarter lead. Washington-Lee cut the lead to 10-7 late in the first half on an 18 yard scoring pass from Bolfek to Anzel Files (three catches, 25 yards). Pedro Palacios added the extra point. With 29 seconds left in the half, Palacios had a 28-yard field goal attempt blocked that would have tied the game at 10. Earlier in the first half, W-L botched a hold on another field-goal attempt. Yorktown’s second-half touchdown was a 14-yard Grant Wilson-to-Jack McCool pass with 11:46 left in the game, which ended with 1:58 to play and Yorktown in possession when there was a power outage as a strong storm blew through. Wilson was 12 of 19 passing for 121 yards and ran for 25 yards. McCool had

two catches for 15 yards and Jakore Harmon had two for 58 and ran for 31 yards. Jake Reilly had two catches and 15 yards rushing. and Will Porter had two catches and completed one pass. For Washington-Lee, Will Murphy ran for 65 yards and made numerous tackles on defense. Trent Colbert caught three passes and Will Montgomery two. The Generals were hurt by a handful of dropped passes. On defense, Owen Potts recovered a fumble caused by a Minh Giang sack, one of five for the Generals. Giang had a couple of sacks and made multiple tackles. For Yorktown on defense, McCool and Sawyer Monticello led the tacklers and the Patriots batted down two passes. In facing Westfield, Yorktown takes on the Concorde District champions who have won three straight Class 6 state championships and has won more than 35 straight games. Westfield has recorded four shutouts this season. NOTE: Yorktown won the unofficial country title because it also defeated Wakefield earlier this season. Wakefield was 1-1 against county opponent with a win over W-L to open the season. n The regular season ended with a league road loss for the Bishop O’Connell Knights (1-3, 2-8) Nov. 1. O’Connell was defeated by the Paul VI Catholic Panthers, 21-3, in a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference contest. The teams meet again Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. at Paul VI in a semifinal game of the initial four-team WCAC Metro Division playoffs. Paul VI is seeded first and O’Connell fourth. The winner advances to the championship game to face the winner of the Carroll vs. St. Mary’s Ryken semifinal. In the Nov. 2 loss, O’Connell’s points came on a first-half field goal. The Knights trailed 7-3 at halftime, then 14-3 after three periods. Kai Bowers and Darius Brown were the leading rushers for O’Connell. The Knights had trouble moving the ball on offense and were limited without injured starting quarterback Aidan McGowan and wide receiver Jahmal Banks. Jack Murphy, Luke Byrne and Ryan Barrett were among the tackling leaders on defense. n The regular season ended for the Wakefield Warriors (2-8, 0-5) Nov. 1 with a 42-10 road loss to the Marshall Statesmen in National District play. Wakefield scored first and last in the game. Luis Pinto booted a 38-yard first-quarter field goal to give Wakefield a 3-0 lead. In the final period, Cason Poythress threw a seven-yard touchdown pass to Seth Novak, and Pinto converted. Marshall led 7-3 after the first period, then 42-3 at halftime. Poythress was 11 of 17 passing for 135 yards. Wakefield’s Lukai Hatcher had seven catches for 89 yards and Novak and Donte Clark had two catches each. Wakefield’s Jaleel Prather had 52 yards rushing and Camryn Johnson 22. Wakefield’s Luis Aliaga Corvera blocked a punt.

Joel Broyhill, R-10th, trounced Democrat Augustus Johnson. n Arlingtonians for a Better County candidate Leo Urbanske defeated Allen Harrison and Harvey Lampshire to return to the County Board. n A dispute between supporters of Leo Urbanske and Joel Broyhill led to a “brief brawl” at the polling place at Thomas Jefferson Junior High School. n A total of five black men have been elected to Congress, the highest number since 1874, the Sun reports. November 5, 1969: n Linwood Holton has been elected Virginia’s first Republican governor since Reconstruction. n Republicans swept to victory in Arlington’s House of Delegates races. n Republican Kenneth Haggerty easily won re-election to the County Board. n County voters approved all eight bond referendums on the ballot. n Eddie Brinkman of the Washington Senators will be among the dignitaries on hand at the annual Better Sports Club of Arlington dinner at the Knights of Columbus.
