Advocates for Housing Aim to Build Momentum

HONORING MEMORIAL DAY AT THE PENTAGON

SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Advocates for affordable housing are being urged to keep their eyes on the ball as implementation of the Arlington County government’s recently adopted housing master plan moves forward. Approval of the plan by the County Board last September “sets us up for housing programs over the next 25 years – now it’s time to move forward,” said David Cristeal, the Arlington government’s housing director, during a May 25 forum sponsored by the Alliance for Housing Solutions. The gathering, held at Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, brought together about 120 housing advocates to focus on the next steps in retaining the community’s stock of affordable properties. Since 2002, Alvin Nieder, above, who has worked at the Pentagon for a quarter-century, has spearheaded the efforts of more than Mary Rouleau, the departing executive direc1,000 volunteers to raise 13,000 flags at the military headquarters for both Memorial Day and Veterans Day.

Garvey, Gutshall Hunt for Last-Minute Endorsements SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

With the days ticking down to the June 14 Democratic County Board primary, incumbent Libby Garvey and challenger Erik Gutshall are attempting to line up elected officials who remain on the fence. Perhaps the most controversial endorsement of the past week came from Republican-backed independent John Vihstadt, who waded into Democratic politics and urged his supporters to get behind Garvey. “While we don’t agree on everything, she continues to be my ally on key priorities like championing open, accessible and transparent county government, adequate schools funding, robust transit solutions on the Pike and elsewhere, and streamlining our business processes,” Vihstadt said in a statement released May 29 by the Garvey campaign. The support, which was not unexpected (Garvey gave her backing to Vihstadt not once but twice in his successful 2014 runs for office), may further inflame Democratic activists who have attempted to portray Garvey as a political turncoat. But it also could motivate Vihstadt backers to turn out in the open primary. Last year, Vihstadt supported Democrat Christian Dorsey and Republican-

backed independent Michael McMenamin in the general election. “As Libby says, ‘I put the good of the community before the good of the party.’ That’s the way it should be in county government,” Vihstadt said. Dorsey finished first in the four-way general election, but Vihstadt’s backing of McMenamin couldn’t save him from a third-place finish behind Katie Cristol, with the top two vote-getters winning seats. In other endorsement news: • Gutshall’s campaign to unseat Garvey has picked up the support of School Board member James Lander. Gutshall “is the leader we need to work collaboratively with the School Board, parents and neighbors to find sustainable solutions to ensure our children continue to earn a world-class education,” Lander said in a statement released May 26 by the Gutshall campaign. Lander is the second incumbent School Board member to endorse Gutshall, joining Reid Goldstein. • Garvey won the support of county Treasurer Carla de la Pava, who said the incumbent’s support for, and collaboration with, the treasurer’s office “show her commitment to putting residents first.” “Libby listens,” de la Pava said. “She takes the time to understand issues.”

Republicans Hope Ground Game Will Aid Prospects

Party Remains Without County Board, School Board Contenders for the Fall SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

As the Arlington County Republican Party tries to again find its footing in local elections, the effort in 2016 will be on ground game. “We’re going to be persistent – lowtech, pound the pavement, knocking on doors, meeting people face to face,” said Arlington GOP chairman Jim Presswood. Election results over the past two decades suggest Republicans can count on between 25 and 30 percent of the vote in a general election in Arlington. On four occasions during that period – David Foster’s elections to the School Board in 1999 and 2003 and John Vihstadt’s two County Board victories in 2014 – Republicans were part of a coalition that elected

independents to office. In 2016, Republicans have no candidates for County Board or School Board, and Charles Hernick, the GOP challenger to U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th), is a longshot. Hernick, who won a nomination battle against Michael Webb that at times seemed more weird than competitive, said he is looking ahead, not back. “That’s all behind us,” Hernick said of the nomination fight, which saw him win nearly 80 percent of the vote at a party convention. “This is when it gets fun.” Beyer has banked millions and is generally well-regarded throughout the 8th District. “This is going to be a tough election,” Hernick acknowledged, promising a positive, issues-oriented campaign. The Arlington GOP recently tapped a new communications director. “We’re go-

ing to try to get some ideas how to effectively engage people here in Arlington,” Presswood said. Although not throwing in the towel on 2016, Arlington Republicans already are looking to 2017, when all three statewide offices – governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general – are on the ballot. At the GOP’s May 25 meeting, two candidates for the attorney general slot and one for lieutenant governor made their pitches, even though nomination of candidates is a year away and it remains uncertain whether the state party will go with a convention or a primary. Picking the right candidates could be crucial. In 2013, all three statewide posts were won by Democrats, and in 2017, “we don’t want another catastrophe,” said Jessica Talbert, a former vice chairman of the county Republican Committee.

GOP Won’t Be Providing Overt Aid to Garvey in Primary SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Democratic County Board Chairman Libby Garvey’s efforts to survive a primary challenge won’t be getting the overt support of the Arlington County Republican Committee. At the GOP’s last meeting before the June 14 Democratic primary, party chairman Jim Presswood on May 25 cut off an effort from the floor to encourage Republican voters to support Garvey. “We’re about Republican candidates,” Presswood said before moving on to wrap up the meeting. As with all state-run primaries in Virginia, the June County Board race between Garvey and challenger Erik Gutshall is open to all registered voters, since the commonwealth does not register by party affiliation. Gutshall supporters have raised the specter of Garvey’s eking out a victory on the wings of those who usually vote Republican. Garvey in 2014 broke with the Arlington County Democratic Committee to support Republican-backed independent John Vihstadt over Democrat Alan Howze in two successive elections. Vihstadt won both, further enraging Democratic leaders, and it wasn’t until December 2015 that Garvey and the party leadership formally, if coolly, patched things up. Like most political campaigns, the June 14 primary is likely to depend on how many voters show up. Frank O’Leary, a former county treasurer who 4

June 2, 2016

has studied election turnout countywide since the 1980s, projects a turnout anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000. O’Leary has endorsed Gutshall, but has stated Garvey probably has an edge. The Arlington GOP has not fielded a County Board nominee for the Nov. 8 general election. Republicans have until mid-June to field a County Board candidate, but there has been no chatter that any will materialize. If not, the winner of the Garvey-Gutshall race will move on to face a perennial independent in the general election. The last person elected as a Republican to serve on the County Board was Mike Lane, who won a special election in 1999 but lost the subsequent general election to Democrat Charles Monroe eight months later. The last Republican to win a full four-year term was Michael Brunner, who served from 1984-87. Talento: Capacity, Technology Key Concerns Among School Board Electorate: Concerns about school capacity and technology were among the top issues School Board candidate Tannia Talento found causing angst among the public while out on the campaign trail this spring. Capacity clearly ranks as No. 1; Talento said it came up “repeatedly.” “This conversation was so comprehensive and in-depth, no matter where

we went in the county, and many of the questions were the same: concerns about short-term solutions and questions about transportation challenges that arise with more students and new school buildings,” she told the Sun Gazette. “There were concerns about the balance between building new buildings and using existing buildings for small educational programs throughout the county, with no clear consensus as to the best solution,” she said. Talento finished second in the fourway Arlington County Democratic Committee School Board caucus, sending her (along with top vote-getter Nancy Van Doren) to the Nov. 8 general election. Whether they face opposition for the two seats on the ballot remains a question; one potential independent has been circulating petitions to get on the ballot, but has yet to deposit them with county election officials. While not as frequently mentioned as capacity, technology issues also drew the ire of some whom Talento met on the campaign trail. “There is still discontent regarding the guidance for parents and teachers on how to best use the technology, especially at the elementary-school level,” she said. “Similar concerns were discussed about ‘best practices’ for using the devices at home.” Talento aims to succeed School Board Chairman Emma Violand-Sánchez, who opted not to seek a third term. ViolandSánchez encouraged her protégé Talento

www.insidenova.com

to run, and backed her candidacy while also supporting Van Doren. Born in the local region to parents from Guatemala, Talento has been active in the school system through the Advisory Council on Instruction, ESOL/HILT Citizens Advisory Committee and the Facilities Study Committee. All five of her children are either graduates of, or currently enrolled in, Arlington’s public schools. Talento, who has lived in the county for 12 years, kicked off her bid for School Board in January. She was second out of the gate after Van Doren, who has served on the board since 2014 and currently is its vice chairman. The race later picked up the candidacies of Michael Shea and Chaz Crismon, but Van Doren and Talento were seen as front-runners from the start. State law considers School Board seats officially nonpartisan, so political parties cannot formally nominate candidates, but can endorse them. All five current School Board members won the Democratic nod before moving on to general-election victories. All five seats are at-large posts. A single seat is up for grabs three out of every four years, with two seats the fourth, including 2016. While campaigning, Talento said she heard concerns that the school system’s top administration appeared disconnected from the public and rank-and-file employees. It was something she plans to keep an eye on. Gazette

Our View: The State of the County Board Race

Just a few months ago, it appeared that the impossible was going to happen – that County Board Chairman Libby Garvey, who for the past two years had sparred with, and for a time even opted out of, the Arlington County Democratic Committee, would be unopposed for the Democratic nomination for a new term. Prospective recruits to oppose her fell by the wayside until Erik Gutshall, currently vice chairman of the Planning Commission, agreed to make a run against Garvey in the June 14 primary. Make no mistake: This is the only election that matters, as the Nov. 8 general election is likely to be anticlimactic. And because it’s a state-run primary, not a party caucus, any voter can cast a ballot, not simply those who identify as Democrats. We will leave until next week an endorsement in this race. Our pick is not yet cast in stone, and views may change depending on the outcome of the upcoming final debate. But we do have some initial thoughts. The decision of voters in two weeks will have major ramifications on the direction of local governance, as well as the future of the Arlington County Democratic Committee. Were we members of the county’s traditional “Demo-

cratic establishment” (a loose and amorphous phrase, to be sure), we’d be hard-pressed to give our vote to the incumbent. Her apostasy when it came to the County Board races, two of them, between Democrat Alan Howze and Republican-leaning independent John Vihstadt in 2014 would be enough of a disqualifier. We understand the establishment’s anger with Garvey, and do not discount its legitimacy. But that group likely will account for no more than 10 percent of voters who turn out on June 14. Garvey has a core (and corps) of support, probably more voters than are willing to go on record as such, and she will benefit from a notso-subtle pitch for those who backed Vihstadt two years ago to aid her. Add to that the general tendency of Arlington voters to back the incumbent in races for local office, and Gutshall has his work cut out for him. Neither candidate is without flaws. Garvey’s 20-year tenure, first on the School Board and now County Board, has been described by one critic as “erratic,” and perhaps there is some truth in that. On the opposite side, Gutshall has not been a particularly inspired campaigner, and like Howze before him, seems so far to be lacking what one former U.S. president referred to as “that vision thing.” From the perspective of our endorsement, a lot rides on the June 1 debate. Stay tuned.

Plan to Address School Crowding Is Lacking Editor: Superintendent Patrick Murphy’s proposed capital-improvement plan falls far short of meeting needs. Our school system is facing a 4,600seat deficit, but the superintendent’s Proposal is for only 2,445 additional seats. Perhaps the worst looming problem is at the high-school level. Arlington will soon be short 2,775 high school seats, but the CIP would fund just 43 percent – fewer than half! – the needed seats. That shortfall would be more than enough to fill an entire high school, but the super-

intendent does not plan to build one. Instead, Superintendent Murphy wants to use incremental measures such as “internal modifications” to existing buildings, which would leave 1,575 Arlington students without a seat in high school. He would address that huge shortfall by having students attend school in shifts, partnerships with local colleges, and even more trailers. As parents of APS students, we are seriously concerned about Superintendent Murphy’s plan and its inadequate approach to Arlington’s demonstrated school enrollment boom.

We believe Arlington can do better for its students, and we call on the School Board, superintendent and County Board to work together now to create real seats in real school buildings.

Editor: On May 14, the County Board on a 4-to-1 vote dealt a major blow to the “Arlington Way.” All board members but Jay Fisette voted for a road to connect Vacation Lane to Old Dominion Drive across the Stratford school grounds, even though representatives of all five commissions that had studied the road proposal – Public Facilities Review Commission, Transportation, Parks, Environment (E2C2) and Urban Forestry – spoke out against the proposal. Their findings, based on multiple meetings and reports,

was in agreement with the opinion of the county staff and traffic consultants. The Stratford Building Level Planning Committee, composed predominantly of neighbors, was given an unprecedented and disproportionate amount of time to make its case to the board, as was a private consultant paid for by the neighbors. The County Board in effect listened to a small group of neighbors, who bought homes next to an existing school and now object when Arlington needs to expand the facility to accommodate a growing schoolage population, rather than to multiple

commissions established to look out for the welfare of the entire Arlington community. Arlington long has relied on the expertise of citizen volunteers, who give their time to ensure that the County Board receives a fair and in-depth assessment on issues before it. The board should not have ignored them this time. By doing so, they’ve not only made a dubious, costly decision, but have jeopardized a valuable aspect of our community life. Terri Prell Arlington

CAMPAIGN LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Garvey Bucks Establishment for Good of the Community Editor: Nobody works harder than Libby Garvey to make all of Arlington a better place to live, work and raise kids and grandkids, and to make Arlington government just work better for residents and businesses. Nobody. That’s saying something, because we

have a gazillion talented people working on a gazillion fronts for the greater good of Arlington, including Garvey’s opponent in the upcoming Democratic primary. But hard work isn’t enough. Arlington needs leaders who seek out and listen to different points of view, think

clearly, do their homework and make smart, sometimes difficult decisions. We do not need leaders who toe their party line, right or wrong – especially when it’s wrong – or leaders who don’t understand the difference between group-think and teamwork that, unfortunately, has been a real problem for Ar-

lington Democrats. That’s something I will never worry about with Libby Garvey on the County Board, and why I’m voting for her in the Democratic primary. Mark McEnearney Arlington

Editor: Last year, Arlington voters turned to two new, younger voices to continue building the progressive Democratic consensus that has made Arlington one of the most desirable places in the nation to live. The overwhelming victories of Katie Cristol and Christian Dorsey were an important reaffirmation of the county’s determination to be a concerned, welcoming community where people of every age and every background can thrive. Arlington voters have a chance this year to deliver a similarly strong message of determination to renew and refresh their long-held vision. That chance begins in the Democratic primary on Tuesday, June 14. And those hopes are best embodied in the candidacy of Erik Gutshall, a civic activist and business owner who has demonstrated a strong grasp of government policy, fiscal re-

sponsibility and human compassion. He understands the need to prepare for and plan toward what has been referred to as Arlington 2.0. The vision that resulted in the community’s decades of “smart growth” needs to be sharpened so that coming years are marked by “smarter growth.” Gutshall lives with his family in Lyon Park, where he has been the civic association president. He has met payrolls, served Arlington through the Planning Commission and Transportation Commission, and given back to some of our community’s most imperiled residents through service as a board member on Doorways for Women and Families. He understands the importance of maintaining a social safety net. Gutshall stands in stand in stark contrast to the divisive approach that has marked incumbent Libby Garvey’s erratic performance in the two offices she has won.

Most notably, as a member of the School Board for 15 years, Garvey managed to miss what has become the most challenging development for the school system and the county: the current enrollment explosion. No wonder the political arm of the Arlington Education Association has endorsed Gutshall. Garvey is trying to outdo herself with her current proposal for a blue-ribbon committee, whose charge is so vague but potentially so broad that some have called it a shadow government. Garvey’s stock-in-trade has been exploiting fault-line issues that divide Arlington instead of seeking the sort of consensus that has been a trademark of our best years of governance under a long line of dedicated community leaders, many of who now support Gutshall. In fact, no current member of the Arlington School Board or Arlington County Board has endorsed Garvey for re-election.

We can do better, a lot better, with Erik Gutshall. Like many of his supporters, I have volunteered for and donated to earlier campaigns of Garvey, including the 2012 County Board special election (in which she barely defeated a Republican). I was disappointed not only by Ms. Garvey’s recruitment, support and funding of a Republican/independent against a very qualified Democratic candidate in the 2014 County Board elections, but also by her refusal to endorse Democratic nominee Rip Sullivan in his 2014 delegate race. Garvey has said she is perfectly willing to do it again. As state Sen. Adam Ebbin said when he and two other members of the Arlington delegation to the General Assembly endorsed Erik Gutshall, he “will be a board member we can trust to put our Democratic values into action.” Cragg Hines Arlington

Editor: Libby Garvey has a record of demonstrated leadership through a set of core progressive values. She has a long history of votes that support our world-class school system, parks and recreation and affordable housing, and ensuring our most vulnerable are not forgotten. Garvey has accomplished this in a fiscally responsible way. She has ex-

perience making difficult trade-offs when necessary and stays true to her values. She has represented our county through challenging times while working to move our county forward. I’m not sure what Erik Gutshall brings to the table. His platform is not materially different from Garvey’s. He’s acting as a mouthpiece for the old guard that operated in an insular, self-serving

manner with no regard to what made fiscal sense. As a Democrat, I urge other Democrats to vote for Garvey and keep our county moving in the right direction. We can embrace our values without a Gutshall slide back towards fiscal irresponsibility. I also urge non-Democrats to vote for Garvey on June 14 – there is no silly

pledge to sign, and this is an open primary. Garvey has represented everyone in our county based on values and principles that just about all of us share – and she’s demonstrated the ability to listen to voters and not be beholden to a few party elites. Nathan Zee Arlington

Garvey Failed to Address Overcrowding When She Was Serving on School Board Editor: Libby Garvey’s failure to deal with rising student enrollment when she was on the Arlington School Board has made today’s school-overcrowding problem worse. As School Board chairman in 2007, Garvey rejected the idea of neighborhood residents to reopen the Reed School. As the parent of two kids who spent time in “relocatable” classrooms, I was dismayed when she forcefully opposed a proposal by her School Board colleagues to make small investments during the Reed School renovation to prepare the site for future school use. This proposal was made because the Reed School location is in the geographic center of Arlington’s now-dire

elementary-overcrowding situation. At a March 1, 2007, School Board meeting, Libby Garvey not only opposed a motion asking staff to study what it would take to make converting the Reed School easier and less expensive, but she was rude and condescending to the board members who introduced and supported the motion. Now, nine years later, APS is planning to build a school there. Were it not for Garvey’s misjudgment, a school might have opened sooner and at lower cost to Arlington taxpayers. Garvey’s poor decisions on the School Board make her a poor choice for County Board. Tim Torma Arlington

Editor: I recently had the opportunity to speak with Libby Garvey as she was canvassing in my South Arlington neighborhood. It was a good conversation about the recent number of cancelled or delayed capital projects in South Arlington. However, the more we talked, the less confidence I had in a productive way forward for South Arlington. She brought up the streetcar and volunteered that her opponent was supported by some of the streetcar backers, and suggested that he might want to bring the streetcar back. I was disappointed that Garvey continues to run on this issue. The streetcar debate was settled in 2014. Her opponent, Erik Gutshall, has repeatedly said that the streetcar is a settled issue. He

seems committed to looking forward, and says that his focus will be to ensure South Arlingtonians have excellent transit to move them in and around their neighborhoods. We who live on the Pike are still waiting for the alternative plan that Garvey has been touting since 2012. Though she has presented some general concepts of what an alternative for the Pike might be; her policy-solution silence since the 2014 cancellation has been deafening. We have waited too long for a vision for the future of our main street. This is why, on June 14, I’ll be supporting the candidate with a vision for South Arlington and a commitment we can trust: Erik Gutshall. Mike Hanna Arlington

Editor: Since the Democratic primary election is really the only election that counts, it is incumbent on all Arlingtonians – Democrats, Republicans, Green Partiers and independents – to vote in the June 14 Democratic County Board primary. Whichever party you support, you can, and should, vote; no party loyalty oath is required. Four years ago, Libby Garvey began her term on the County Board. She has become known as the voice of reason and fiscal responsibility, but was able to accomplish very little at first because she was the sole voice opposing gold-plated swimming pools and million-dollar bus stops. When she was joined by an independent on the board, Garvey became much more effective in her quest to reign things in, but, in doing so, she angered some in the Democratic establishment. The establishment does not understand that wasteful spending has to be paid for by increased taxes that hurt the middle class and raise rents throughout Arling-

ton. The establishment fought back and found a candidate – an almost unheard of tactic against an incumbent party member – to challenge Garvey in the primary. While Erik Gutshall may sound good in his ads and speeches, he has no elected track record. He has never sat on an elected body that has had to make hard choices about how to spend taxpayer dollars or how to prioritize county resources. He is simply a sure establishment vote who will return to taxand-spend policies. The June 14 election is about the future of Arlington. Regardless of your opinion of some of Garvey’s individual decisions, you know that she has the welfare and future of Arlington at heart. We cannot afford to have her replaced by an inexperienced neophyte who appears to be running simply to punish Garvey for putting the county ahead of the Democratic establishment.

Gutshall Has No Track Record

Gutshall Will Be a Voice for All

Editor: Recent letters to the Sun Gazette have discussed a variety of reasons for supporting Erik Gutshall for the Democratic nomination to a seat on the County Board. Here are mine. Gutshall has a record of openness and transparency in conducting civic affairs, unlike his opponent. He is dedicated to forward-looking solutions to county problems, rather than short-

term fixes that are outdated even before they can be fully implemented. And he is a progressive. He will be a voice on the board for liberal Democrats who believe in limited but effective government. Libby Garvey, the incumbent, has a long record of public service. But in this election, there is a better candidate. Rebecca Dick Arlington

the first organizations we joined – it’s a place where I really feel at home and a part of the community,” said Jasmine Gould, director of business development for Strategic Consulting Partners, named the home-based small business of the year. Membership in the business organization “has given me the opportunity to build long-lasting relationships and friendships,” Gould said during the breakfast ceremony, which drew about 200 community leaders. The annual awards program is designed to honor firms large and small that not only have seen growth, but also have had an impact on the larger Arlington community. “It’s nice to take a pause and recognize those businesses,” said Todd Yeatts of Boeing, the 2016 Chamber chairman. Tara Claeys of Design TLC, which was honored as technology small-business of the year, called herself an accident entrepreneur, and said she loves the success given her company by the Arlington community. “It’s an achievement I’m proud of, but not one I’ve accomplished alone,” Claeys said. Phoenix Bikes, which operates at Barcroft Park, was named non-profit small business of the year for its efforts to instill education and entrepreneurship values in young people. Meg Rapelye, executive director of Phoenix Bikes, said the Arlington Chamber is a rarity in that it “truly values the instrumental role non-profits play in building the strength of community.” Award-winners ranged from long-established endeavors like Joe’s Pizza and Pasta to newer arrivals, such as Virginia Center for Orthodontics (VCO). “We are so thrilled to be here and part of the Chamber,” said VCO founder Dr. Crissy Markova, who used the event to do a little public marketing. “If you need braces, we’ve got a great Chamber discount!” she said. Honored as business of the year – competing among larger firms – were the Crystal City Marriott and Snagajob. The awards breakfast was sponsored by Allied Telecom.

New Hall-of-Fame Inductees Lauded for Civic Efforts SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Three paragons of the local real estate and development community – two living, one a still-revered name from the past – on May 24 were inducted into the Arlington Business Hall of Fame. “What great company!” said John Shooshan, who was enshrined into the Arlington Chamber of Commerce’s pantheon before 200 political, business and civic leaders at a breakfast ceremony at the Sheraton Pentagon City Hotel. He was referring not only to the day’s two other inductees, William Buck and the late Emerson Reinsch, but all those who have gone before them in the nineyear history of the hall of fame. Like Buck and Reinsch, Shooshan was lauded as a business leader who gave back to the community while simultaneously changing the skyline of Arlington. “He’s a man guided by his faith,” said Marymount University president Matthew Shank, lauding Shooshan’s integrity, honesty, loyalty and humility. Shooshan was just 34 years old in 1986 when he founded the development firm that bears his name and now includes his children Kevin and Kelly on staff. Among its projects, the Shooshan Co. is in the midst of developing the massive Liberty Center complex in Ballston, and is collaborating with Marymount on a two-build-

ing complex several blocks farther west. Buck, who in 1975 founded a real estate and development firm that bears his name (Buck & Associates), was described as “a man of all seasons” by Kevin Reynolds of Cardinal Bank, who participated in the enshrinement. “He’s so modest, yet he is so deserving,” Reynolds said. “Bill came from humble beginnings; he quickly learned the value of the work ethic. Boy, has he been successful!” Buck long has been active in business, professional and civic organizations, which he said was one secret to anyone’s success. “Get involved with the Arlington community,” he told the assemblage. “I can assure you, it works.” Buck also encouraged those in attendance not to be afraid of hard work. He quoted one of his personal favorite sayings: “The more you have to do, the more you get done.” (Both Buck and Shooshan have been married to their wives more than four decades; they each called their spouses and family the rock on which their personal success rested.) Reinsch (1903-88) completed the trifecta: Like Shooshan and Buck, he was known for a development firm that bore his own name. Having settled in Arlington in the immediate aftermath of World War II,

He wanted to build a large business, little by little,” said Reinsch’s only child, Lola, who is active both in the family firm and its philanthropic initiatives, which through the decades have included support for Virginia Hospital Center, Marymount University and Junior Achievement, among others. (Lola Reinsch noted that, during the Depression and before he came to Arlington, her father had been involved in the construction of the Empire State Building, an association he carried with pride.)

Median Age of Realtors Is Coming Down The median age and years of experience of Realtors has decreased as new and younger professionals enter the industry, according to the 2016 National Association of Realtors Member Profile. The survey’s results are representative of the nation’s nearly 1.2 million Realtors, who account for about half of all active real-estate licensees in the U.S. Realtors’ median age decreased from 57 in 2014 to 53 in 2015, the lowest it has been since 2008, when the median age was 52. The typical member reported a median of 10 years of experience in real estate, down from 12 years in last year’s report. The National Association of Realtors “is excited to have young, fresh perspectives enter the industry, and we are proud to offer resources for our younger members to advance and grow,” said NAR president Tom Salomone, broker-owner of Real Estate II Inc. in Coral Springs, Fla. In last year’s report, 41 percent of members were more than 60 years old, while only 2 percent were under age 30. This year, the percent of Realtors over 60 years old dropped to 30 percent, and the number of those younger than 30 years rose to 5 percent. Thirteen percent of members who have two years or less experience are under 30 years of age. New members also tend to be more diverse than experienced members; 89 percent of Realtors with 16 or more years of experience are white, compared to only 78 percent of those with two years or less experience. The median gross income of Realtors fell last year, from $45,800 in 2014 to $39,200 in 2015. Those with 16 years or more of experience reported a median gross income of $73,400, up from $68,800 in 2014, while members with two years or less of experience had a median gross income of $8,500, a decrease from $9,100 last year. For the third year in a row, Realtors cited difficulty finding the right property, at 38 percent, as the most persistent challenge limiting potential buyers, beating out obtaining mortgage financing at 19 percent. “Limited inventory continues to restrict buyers in many markets across the country,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist.

Arlington Schools Score in Va. Achievement Rankings SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Tuckahoe Elementary School has earned a 2016 Governor’s Award of Educational Excellence, SCHOOL the top honor in the Virginia InBOARD annual dex of Performance NOTES (VIP) awards program. To reach the top level of achievement, schools must meet all federal and state benchmarks and excellence goals. Arlington Science Focus Elementary School, McKinley Elementary School, Nottingham Elementary School, Swanson Middle School and Taylor Elementary School were named Board of Education Excellence Award recipients, the second rung in the awards program. Arlington Traditional School, Ashlawn Elementary School, Long Branch Elementary School and Yorktown High School were named Board of Education Distinguished Achievement Award recipients, the third rung. School Board Fills Leadership Positions: Tara Nattrass, currently director of elementary education and Title I for Cabarrus County (N.C.) Public Schools, has been appointed Arlington Public Schools’ assistant superintendent of instruction. She will succeed Connie Skelton, who is retiring.

The appointment was made by the School Board. “Dr. Nattrass is passionate about teaching and learning and is dedicated to improving the educational outcomes for students,” Arlington Superintendent Patrick Murphy said in a statement. “She also has had experience with organizing and leading professional development to engage staff in conversations and strategies that support literacy development and close the achievement gap.” Nattrass has 15 years of experience as an educator, including classroom and administrative positions. The School Board also approved the appointment of Tyrone Byrd as the director of secondary education. Byrd, a graduate of Arlington’s public schools, currently serves as the principal of George Mason High School in Falls Church. Both appointments are effective July 1. Some Parent Volunteers Would Require Background Checks Under Policy Revision: Parent volunteers who offer classes to students in Arlington school facilities could soon be required to undergo a criminal-background check, under a policy revision that will come to a School Board vote in early June. The checks will be mandatory for volunteers who provide services to students in Arlington schools at times when school-

system staff are not present. Criminalbackground checks also will be required of vendors providing classes and services in school facilities. For parents, the background checks would be offered at no charge by the school system. The changes are part of a batch of revisions that were considered, but then deferred, earlier in the year. “We spent a good amount of time on this” since it was sent back for more study in March, Superintendent Patrick Murphy told School Board members on May 19. The proposed policy changes impact a number of areas, from determining priority use of school facilities to prohibiting PTA officials from financially benefiting from a relationship to a vendor. The proposed changes aim to straddle the line between being too specific and too general, said Deirdra McLaughlin, assistant superintendent for finance and management for the school system. “You really can’t anticipate every situation that could come up,” McLaughlin said. “The goal is to continue to have the really robust activities and partnerships we have in our schools, but to make some minor modifications.” New Name Proposed for Arlington Mill High School: A one-word change appears coming to the name of Arlington Mill High School.

Logo concept for “Arlington Community High School,” the proposed new name for Arlington Mill High School.

After an extensive community-engagement process, a task force set up to recommend a new name has settled on “Arlington Community High School.” The proposed name, supporters say, reflects the school’s mission of serving students, many of them immigrants and some past traditional high-school age. Unlike “Arlington Mill,” the proposed name is not location-specific, which could help if the program is relocated in the future. Originally known as the Arlington Mill High School Continuation Program and first located at the old Arlington Mill community center on the western end of Continued on Page 26

ARLINGTON’S REALTOR® What Others Say...

“A friend recommended Carol Temple to us. Carol was not only instrumental in finding homes for us to purchase that we love, she also made sure we didn’t purchase alternative houses that, in hindsight, would have been major mistakes. We honestly don’t know how we would have navigated this real estate market without her guidance. She helped us understand what we needed in the first place. She connected us to superb financing and home service providers through her extensive professional network. We would never consider working with anyone else.” _ Drs.

Teeing Off

Premature Loss Can Be A Tough Pill to Swallow

It happens all the time and can be a harsh experience when an earlier-thanexpected end to a team’s high school season comes in the postseason.

Dave Facinoli

Teams Advance To 6A Final Four A Staff Report

A strong run in the region competition continued for three high school soccer teams in Arlington on May 26. The Yorktown Patriots boys and girls squads, along with the Washington-Lee Generals boys, were SOCCER victorious in onegoal quarterfinal games of the 6A North Region Tournament. The three will play in semifinal contests on June 1. The W-L boys (14-1-2) edged the host and previously unbeaten Oakton Cougars (15-1-1) by a 2-1 score in their quarterfinal. Noah Goodkind and Benhur Gebretnsaie scored the second-half goals for W-L and goalie Julian Esquer-Perez made six saves. Gebretensaie had an assist. The Generals are scheduled to play the Langley Saxons (14-1-3) in the region semifinals. The teams tied during an earlier regular-season match. The semifinal winner earns a state tournament berth. The Yorktown boys (10-5-3) continContinued on Page 25

W-L’s Season Ends With Close Loss in Region DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

The Washington-Lee Generals had one bad half-inning in their first-round game of the 6A North Region Tournament, and the BASEBALL result was a 4-2 season-ending loss to host Patriot of Nokesville on May 25. Patriot scored four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning of the high school baseball contest on a couple of hits along with a walk and a hit batter. Washington-Lee (11-12) scored its runs in the top of the fourth and seventh. Miles Dulman had a hit and an RBI bunt for W-L. Starting pitcher Teddy 24

June 2, 2016

Herbert, who struck out six, doubled, and Will Burgess, T.R. Sheehy and Henry Bendon had hits. Sheehy, the Generals’ catcher, threw out a runner on the bases and had an RBI. The Generals were 1-2 in the postseason, playing three close games. They lost 3-2 to McLean in the Liberty Conference Tournament semifinals and nipped Fairfax, 1-0, in the quarterfinals to qualify for the region. “I thought this season was pretty successful,” said W-L coach Doug Grove, who has 270 wins. “We played a pretty consistent level of baseball. Teddy [Herbert] and Noah [Winslow] came on as the season progressed, which meant we

could hang with anyone. For us, it was all about getting a big hit. There were a lot of opportunities for us to win some more games with a hit or two.” During the regular season, Washington-Lee upset defending region and state champion Madison, 4-2, and earned the No. 3 seed in the Liberty Conference Tournament. “Overall, we won nine games against Liberty teams, which is a pretty nice accomplishment,” Grove said. “Obviously, the win against Madison was pretty fun. That game will be remembered by all of us for a long time. It is a compliment to how good a program Pudge [Madison coach Mark Gjormand} has built at Madison.”

On the public-school level throughout Virginia, those premature exits usually come during region tournaments, with first-round, second-round and sometimes semifinal losses. Such a stingy setback occurred for the Langley Saxons in girls lacrosse. Langley was projected as a team that would make a strong run at challenging for region and state championships this spring. An undefeated regular-season record was the proof. Then came the region playoffs, where Langley suffered a close second-round loss to the defending state champion Robinson Rams. Season over sooner than anticipated. The Washington-Lee Generals baseball team played its best late in the regular season and conference playoffs. There was an upset over defending state champ Madison, proof that W-L could play with the best, igniting legitimate hopes of making a strong run in the region tournament. Didn’t happen. One bad half inning cost the Generals in a 4-2 season-ending first-round loss to Patriot, leaving the team a bit disappointed. In boys soccer, the Oakton Cougars and Washington-Lee entered their second-round region showdown with only one loss between them. From before the 2016 campaign began back in early March, both squads had high expectations of finishing as region and state champions. With Oakton losing to Washington-Lee, its season ended far sooner than hoped. The same occurred in girls region soccer, when neighborhood rivals Oakton and the Madison Warhawks met in the second round, with the loser unable to achieve what it so much wished was waiting ahead. Such difficult losses are a reality of team sports.

Mendes helped Washington-Lee to a No. 1 regular-season ranking in The Washington Post at one time this spring. Through 13 games, he had 13 goals and four assists on W-L’s unbeaten 11-0-2 team. In addition, Mendes and the Generals had reached the semifinals of the 6A North Region Tournament, with that game scheduled for earlier this week. The award, which recognizes not only outstanding athletic excellence, but also high standards of academic achievement and exemplary character demonstrated on and off the field, distinguishes Mendes as the nation’s best high school boys soccer player. A national advisory panel comprised of sport-specific experts and sports journalists helped select Mendes from nearly 432,000 high school boys soccer players nationwide. Mendes, who will play in college at Virginia, participated in the U.S. Soccer under-20 men’s national team camp in January and was the only member of the 36-player roster who played high school soccer this year. He is ranked as the nation’s No. 24 recruit in the Class of 2016 by College Soccer News. Mendes has a 3.22 grade-point average, is a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and volunteers as a youth soccer coach. In addition, Mendes helps middleschool students of color discover and utilize resources to achieve personal goals. WAKEFIELD NEEDS HEAD COACHES:

Wakefield High School is accepting applications for varsity volleyball and field hockey coaches. For more information, contact Noel Deskins at (703) 228-6733 or e-mail noel.deskins@apsva.us. Kelly Emson scored two goals for the Yorktown girls against Osbourn. Meredith Beam, Emily Talotta and Marisa Fitz each scored one. Talotta had two assists and Emson, Hannah Koch and Sarah Brooks each had one. The Washington-Lee girls (11-3-1) had their season end with a first-round loss in penalty kicks to Patriot. The region championship games are Friday, June 3. June 2, 2016 25

Housing Continued from Page 1 will have to support efforts to build new units while also slowing the razing and redevelopment of older properties. Given that localities across Virginia have limited powers to regulate development, the Arlington government will have to be creative to meet its goals, including offering incentives to developers in the form of higher density – a tool that often faces community opposition. Housing Commission chairman Holly Bray said a wide diversity of viewpoints are being solicited to come up with new thinking on housing issues. “We need input,” Bray told attendees

Schools Continued from Page 18

Columbia Pike, the program in recent years has moved to the Arlington Career Center and won accreditation as a full high school. At the start of the upcoming school year, students will move next door to what had been the Fenwick Center and had housed offices of the county government’s Department of Human Services. County officials earlier this year transferred the building to the school system, which is

at the forum. “I welcome all of you.” Keeping a segment of the rental stock affordable could be challenging enough, but the county government’s goals on new owner-occupied housing may prove even more so. Officials aim to have about 28 percent of new construction priced so it is affordable to households of four that earn $85,000 to $130,000 in current dollars. “That’s going to be a huge stretch,” acknowledged Cristeal, since the average price of all home sales in Arlington is more than $500,000 and the price of new single-family homes often exceeds $1 million. County officials are about to launch an effort to connect with condominium associations, a huge but often overlooked segment of the real estate affordability puzzle. Leaders of condo associations will be

surveyed in the spring of 2017 in an effort to find how the county government can assist them. The May 25 gathering served as a sendoff for Rouleau, who has led the Alliance for Housing Solutions for Mary Rouleau the past six years. Rouleau, who will be succeeded by Michelle Winters, told advocates that while she planned to drift off into the sunset, “I will be cheering you on from the sidelines.” Cristeal said Rouleau had never been

shy in pressing the case for affordable housing. “Mary’s given me advice, early and often,” he said with a chuckle. “I’m going to miss that.” Winters, the incoming executive director, served on the Arlington Housing Commission and has held housing-policy posts with Fannie Mae and its foundation. She currently is president of a community-strategies firm focused on housing and sustainability. Also joining the Alliance for Housing Solutions are four new board members, who will provide “new skills, commitment and enthusiasm,” said board chair Gene Hubbard. New board members include Allison Glatfelter, Laura Martin, Koube Ngaaje and Betis Sorto-Sanchez.

embarking on a summertime renovation effort to get it ready for classes in September. The name-change task force included Arlington Mill students and staff, and residents of surrounding civic associations. Among the names considered: Arlington High School; Columbia High School; Arlington Options High School; Mavericks High School; Monroe High School; and Northern Virginia Arlington High School. The name change will be proposed at the June 2 School Board meeting, with board action likely later in the month. Initial Contract for New Elementary

Goes to School Board: Preliminary work is about to get moving on the new elementary school set for construction adjacent to Thomas Jefferson Middle School. School Board members on June 2 will be asked to approve a $60,000 contract for pre-construction services, a figure described by school officials as “a fair and reasonable fee” for the amount of work involved. Whiting-Turner Contracting Company was selected from among applicants to receive the contract. The firm will be in line to receive the contract for the next step in the pre-construction process if it and school officials agree to terms.

The new school is being constructed to ease overcrowding at elementary schools in the middle section of the county. Under one scenario, students at Patrick Henry Elementary School would move en masse to the (as yet unnamed) new school, and students in the Montessori program at Drew Middle School would move into the Patrick Henry building. Excess space at Drew would then be used to accommodate students in Nauck and surrounding communities. The Sun has been covering Arlington’s schools since back in 1935. That’s a be used to accommodate students in lot of articles about local students! Nauck and surrounding communities.

WORK IN THE MEDIA BUSINESS! Do you enjoy helping local businesses market their products and services? Are you a self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced environment? Northern Virginia Media Services/InsideNoVa.com is hiring two outside account executives to build and manage advertising campaigns for local businesses.

OUTSIDE ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: Working out of either our Woodbridge or our McLean office, this rep will sell print and digital advertising to local businesses. You’ll be given a book of business but will be expected to build that territory. The ideal candidate will have some business-to-business sales experience, but it does not necessarily have to be in the media industry. More critical skills are a willingness to call on new businesses and an ability to make persuasive presentations.

DIGITAL MEDIA ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE: We’re seeking a digitally-savvy salesperson to work with local businesses on online marketing efforts, ranging from website development to display advertising, text messaging and social media management. You’ll build a list of your own accounts as well as become an in-house digital expert for other account executives. This position requires a fundamental knowledge of digital advertising and marketing, an ability to make persuasive presentations, and a willingness to call on new businesses. Both positions are full-time and offer a suite of benefits, including medical insurance, a 401(k) and paid time off. Northern Virginia Media Services publishes four local weekly newspapers, in Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William and Stafford counties; two military base newspapers, at Fort Belvoir and Marine Corps Base Quantico; Washington FAMILY Magazine, and the region’s leading news website, InsideNoVa.com. Our newspapers reach 130,000 households a week, and InsideNoVa has nearly 400,000 unique visitors a month.

To apply for either position, send resume and brief cover letter to Bruce Potter at bpotter@Insidenova.com. Application deadline is June 15.
