New H-B Woodlawn to Be Field-Less for a Time Under Pending Agreement, Land Will Be Used For Construction of Temporary Fire Station in Rosslyn SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Taxpayers may be the winners but students at the future H-B Woodlawn Secondary Program will be the losers – at least temporarily – under a revised plan to develop what’s become known as the

“WRAPS” parcel in western Rosslyn.

Under an agreement between the Arlington County government and publicschool system detailed earlier this month, a temporary fire station would be constructed at the corner of North Quinn Street and 18th Street North, remaining in place until a permanent station was

completed.

That means that, from the time the new H-B Woodlawn opens in late 2019 until 2021 at the earliest, students will not have access to an on-site athletic field.

That eventuality “is not our favorite,” School Board Vice Chairman Barbara Kanninen acknowledged. But, she said, it

exemplified “how we’re all struggling together” to make the pieces of the puzzle fit.

“We’re all making sure it’s all going to work,” Kanninen said.

Benefiting from strong pitching, plenty of home runs and steady defense, the Arlington Babe Ruth Storm 12-under baseball team won the Cal Ripken State Tournament last week in Henrico with a 4-1 record, defeating Williamsburg in the title game. Arlington moves on to the Southeast Regional Tournament. See coverage of the tournament action inside in Sports.

When the memorial to Arlington’s World War I dead was dedicated in the 1930s, few likely gave any notice to how the names were arranged.

But with the community set to embark on a local commemoration of what was dubbed, alas erroneously, as the “war to end all wars,” some want to see a change in how the county’s 13 World War I dead are listed.

The plaque on the memorial, located in Clarendon, has 10 names of Army and Navy personnel killed in 1917 and 1918.

There are then two blank spaces, followed by the names of Arthur Morgan and Ralph Lowe underneath.

Before their branch of service (Army in each case), Morgan and Lowe are described as “Colored” – one of the last vestiges of a segregationist past that Arlington, and

Remainder of Artisphere Cash Will Support County ‘Art Truck’ Leftover funds connected to the shuttered Artisphere will be used to support a new “arts truck” that will take programming to the streets of the community later this year.

Arlington County Board members on July 16 are expected to agree to the proposal and accept a grant from the Arlington Community Foundation for the project, which county officials say can be accomplished without further impact on tax dollars.

The nearly $30,000 in cash will come from a fund managed by the foundation on behalf of the county government to solicit contributions in support of the Artisphere, a government-run Rosslyn arts center that bled a sea of red ink during the three years it was in operation.

The foundation funding will be supplemented with available county funding to purchase the vehicle for about $55,000 and launch pilot programming over the coming year.

The Artisphere opened in the former Newseum space to fanfare in 2011, part of the Arlington government’s pre-recession ambition to achieve what it calls “worldclass” status. But, as county officials quickly came to realize, the arts effort was doomed from the start – its location drew few visitors and projected revenues were wildly overstated. In its first year of op-

Make Money by Replacing Your

eration, the center cost Arlington taxpayers $41 in subsidies for every person who ventured inside, and subsequent efforts to stanch the bleeding were only nominally successful.

In 2015, County Board members, who already had been forced to bail out Signature Theatre and were coming under increasing fire for what critics described as vanity projects, pulled the plug on Artisphere operations by refusing to fund it for the subsequent fiscal year.

County Board Asked to OK Arts Grants: Arlington County Board members on July 16 will be asked to approve nearly $216,000 in arts grants for the coming fiscal year.

Eighteen arts organizations will receive grant funding ranging from $2,700 to more than $27,000, based on recommendations from the Arlington Commission for the Arts, while two individual artists will receive grants and 19 organizations will receive in-kind support from the county government.

The Arlington government has been providing direct funding to arts organizations since 1990. This year, a total of 47 grant applications were received.

Garvey Pledges to Support All Democrats on Ballot

Democrats Working to Fill Gaps in Precinct Captains as Election Push Begins SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Fresh off a contentious primary battle, County Board Chairman Libby Garvey said she’s ready to work for Democrats up and down the ballot.

“This campaign isn’t over. I will continue working hard to get every single vote I can get for the entire ticket,” Garvey said at the July 6 meeting of the Arlington County Democratic Committee.

Her comments came three weeks after Garvey beat back Planning Commission Vice Chairman Erik Gutshall in a rare intra-party challenge to a sitting County Board member. Garvey won the Democratic primary with 55 percent of the vote.

Gutshall was not on hand at the July meeting to offer his congratulations to Garvey, but she said she appreciated his willingness to step up and make the run.

And then, she pivoted to the fall race.

“At their core . . . elections are about community,” Garvey said. “Arlington is a great community, but we have the potential, working together, to make it better.”

Republicans did not field a candidate for the Nov. 8 general election, leaving independent Audrey Clement as Garvey’s

lone challenger.

Clement has previously has run for local office six times, five of them for County Board, either as an independent or under the banner of the Green Party.

Her best finish came in 2013 when taking on incumbent Democratic County Board member Jay Fisette; Clement won 31 percent of the vote, as Republicans (with no candidate of their own that year) cast ballots her direction.

Because this race is being run in a presidential-election year with an expected huge turnout, Garvey is almost sure to be inoculated from a potential upset.

Voters more interested in the presidential race are likely, if they select a candidate for County Board at all, to follow the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s sample ballot.

Garvey had served on the School Board for 15 years when she won a 2012 special election to succeed County Board member Barbara Favola, who had been elected to the state Senate.

But Garvey crossed swords with the Democratic leadership in 2014, twice supporting independent John Vihstadt over Democrat Alan Howze for County Board. (Vihstadt won both races, and returned the favor in 2016 by asking his supporters to vote in the Democratic primary for Garvey, a move that may have helped her survive Gutshall’s challenge.)

Despite the intra-party controversy,

Garvey’s three Democratic County Board colleagues – along with Vihstadt – voted in January to support her bid for a one-year term as chairman, a post that traditionally rotates among memArlington County Demo- bers. cratic Committee chairIn the Garman Kip Malinosky v e y -Gutshall speaks at the party’s July race, one of 6 meeting. those three Democrats, Fisette, supported Gutshall while the other two, Katie Cristol and Christian Dorsey, stayed neutral.

Democrats Ramp Up Get-Out-theVote Effort: The Arlington County Democratic Committee is readying an allhands-on-deck effort in the run-up to the Nov. 8 general election.

“We’ve got a ton of work to do,” party chairman Kip Malinosky said as the party’s rank-and-file gathered July 6 for its monthly meeting in Ballston.

The biggest red flags at the moment are remaining vacancies in the party’s precinct-operations effort, party officials said.

“This is an important time to be re-

cruiting precinct captains,” said Carol Fontein, who heads the party’s precinctoperations efforts.

Arlington Democrats elect two or three captains for each of the county’s 52 election precincts. Those individuals stand at the top of the pyramid in micro-focused efforts to prepare for Election Day and turn out the vote.

“I enjoy it – you are on the front lines,” said Charley Conrad, a veteran captain at Four Mile Run precinct.

Those in the neighborhood “may not remember my name, but they say, ‘You’re the Democrat man,’” Conrad said.

Fontein said the party has vacancies at nine precincts, with the most critical situation at Abingdon, where two captains are needed.

If anyone finds prospects, “please have them call me any time of the day or night – really,” Fontein said at the meeting.

(Those interested in the other eight precincts should just call during the day, she joked.)

The Arlington County Democratic Committee’s precinct-operations effort far outpaced the Republicans or Green Party in Arlington, although the county GOP has worked in recent years to rebuild its own grass-roots precinct network.

Arlington Democrats traditionally kick off the final lap of election season with a chili competition held on Labor Day.

Lander has been vocal on the issue of achievement gaps, sometimes to the detriment of his relationships with other board members, but the body’s lone African-American member said he will not back down.

“I plan to be as passionate as I was the previous seven years,” he said.

Lander was first elected to the School Board in 2009 and was re-elected in 2013, both times having received the endorsement of the Arlington County Democratic Committee. Last month, Lander told the Sun gazette he planned to seek a third term in 2017, adding that he anticipated the possibility of a challenge from within the Democratic ranks.

The Barcroft Community House drew

a crowd on the evening of July 1, as County Board member Katie Cristol held her first annual Great Arlington Bake-Off, modeled on “The Great British Bake Off,” produced by the BBC and seen in the U.S. on PBS. “We love the idea – wholesome and family friendly,” Cristol said at the event, which drew about 15 entries spanning a wide array of baked goods.

The judges (Paty Funegra, founder of La Cocinca VA, and former Del. Karen Darner, D-49th) doled out awards in a number of categories. Darner, who recalled her days as a judge of chili festivals, noted that the secret to food judging was simple: little bites.

For those leaning Democratic and with a passion for culinary competition, the Arlington County Democratic Committee will kick off the last stage of the 2016 campaign season with its annual Labor Day chili festival. Information on that event will be available at www.arlingtondemocrats.org.

County Board member Katie Cristol checks out some of the entries in the Great Arlington Bake-Off, as judges Paty Funegra and Karen Darner begin evaluating them.

Arlington school officials have made strides in cutting the dropout rate and improving the percentage of students who graduate on time, but the “achievement gap” between students of different races and ethnicity shows no sign of dissipating.

Our View: Can WMATA Actually Cut 500 Jobs?

Paul Wiedefeld, the newish general manager of the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority, believes the system can eliminate 500 jobs, or about 4 percent of the total workforce, without a significant impact on service or safety to the Metro system and its riders.

Wiedefeld already has made a start, dumping a number of managers, but that was a mere drop in the bucket compared to the total number of slots he wants to eliminate, and nothing similar in terms of complexity, particularly considering there are union contracts involved.

Wiedefeld has yet to specify what jobs will be on the chopping block, and he hedged a bit by saying the reductions would occur “over the next several months” rather than setting a firm timetable. But he gave himself no wiggle room on the total number. It won’t be “around 500” or “about 500,” but “500,” the general manager said.

We’ll see. And of course, the billion-dollar question is why neither previous general managers nor members of the

WMATA board of directors (like veteran Fairfax representative Catherine Hudgins or hapless, stuck-in-a-1982-mentality D.C. City Council member Jack Evans) didn’t think such a culling of the herd could, or should, be undertaken earlier.

U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-10th) was among those who said the time has come to make the cuts.

“This is another step in the right direction in terms of fundamental change,” she said. “Metro currently has costs that far exceed comparable systems in cities like New York, San Francisco and Chicago, while performance is well below average.”

Support for a reduction in staffing is not necessarily an indictment of the rank-and-file workers; they have been as much victims of a generation of mismanagement as riders and taxpayers.

But if their positions are, as Wiedefeld puts it, duplicative or not central to the Metro system’s core mission, those jobs will have to go.

County Staff Disingenuous on Fire Station #8 Editor: I was disappointed, but not surprised, to read County Manager Mark Schwartz’s misleading statements to the County Board that moving Fire Stateion #8 to the Old Dominion Drive and 26th Street North site instead of rebuilding it at its current site was “the most costeffective solution” and “the best way” to increase the number of people who are within six minutes of fire and EMS service.

For those of us who have followed the issue from the beginning, it has been a consistent stream of misinformation from the county manager and staff. The instransigence of the staff, in fact, was a key factor in chartering an independent assessment of the situation.

County officials first stated that a new station at 26th and Old Dominion was needed because of the efficiencies

that it would gain from co-locating the station with an emergency-operations center.

When residents pushed back, county officials changed tactics – we then heard that the station needed to move because of a recommendation in a three-yearold consultant’s report.

Problem was, the consultant report didn’t say what the county represented it did. When, once again, an alert citizenry pointed this out, suddenly we were told that Fire Station #8 response times were outliers and out of step with the county’s goals.

This prompted us to look at the raw data regarding fire and EMS response times. Far from being the worst offender, Fire Station #8 wasn’t even in the bottom half countywide. Not only that, to date the county government has yet to make the systemic and less-costly

changes (than new station construction) to improve response times that were contained in its consultant’s report.

It is clear, that from the outset, the county government has been dead set on moving the station despite having neither the facts nor public opinion on its side. The County Board task force – filled by dedicated residents and led by a chair who is renowned for his balanced, impartial style – reached a collective and overwhelming conclusion that moving the station does not make sense from a cost or safety perspective.

County staff would have the County Board disregard the task force, the facts of the situation and an overwhelming resident desire to site the new station at its current site. The arrogance of this position is breathtaking.

Betsy Forinash Arlington

Editor: As a Washington-Lee High School parent and supporter of the boys soccer team, I wish to congratulate the team for its great success this past season and for winning its first state championship.

I do, however, need to correct the Sun Gazette’s characterization of this win, impressive as it is, as the first state championship by a Washington-Lee team since the 1970s. That is not correct.

YLEE – the combined Girls Ultimate Frisbee team from WashingtonLee and Yorktown high schools – won the 2016 Virginia State Championship,

defeating the H-B Woodlawn girls varsity by a score of 11-6 under the lights and drizzle at Greenbrier Stadium before a large crowd of parents and fans on May 21. In fact, YLEE was the defending state champion, having won its first such crown in 2015.

Ultimate Frisbee is one of the fastest growing sports in the U.S. It is recognized by the International Olympic Committee and is under consideration to be included as a medal sport for the 2020 Summer Olympics.

Arlington is among the nation’s hotbeds of the sport, with more 300 youth players competing for Yorktown, H-B

Woodlawn and Washington-Lee, and now there are teams competing for each of Arlington’s middle schools.

James Hess Arlington Editor’s Note: While we applaud the achievement of the YLEE Ultimate Frisbee program, the Sun Gazette’s list of highschool state champions only includes sports sanctioned by the Virginia High School League, which Ultimate Frisbee as yet is not.

Park Service Sets Upgraded Monuments, Transportation BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

The National Park Service in coming years will conduct a slew of upgrades to the George Washington Memorial Parkway and its affiliated sites, said Alexcy Romero, the parkway’s superintendent for the past three years.

Speaking to the McLean Citizens Association’s board of directors July 6, Romero said the National Park Service plans to: • Rehabilitate crumbling Memorial Bridge. The project will cost about $250 million and so far $90 million in federal FastLane funds have been committed for the effort.

Built in 1935, the bridge is not just a river span, but also a post-Civil War monument that connects the South (as symbolized by Robert E. Lee’s Arlington House) and North (the Lincoln Memorial.

“We have to treat this no different from the Washington Monument,” Romero said.

• Conduct a host of improvements at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima Memorial) in Arlington. The park service will clean and wax the memorial’s statue, redo the roadway and parade ground and improve visitors’ experiences, Romero said.

• Rehabilitate Arlington House, which occupies a hill above Arlington National Cemetery. The $12.5 million project, which will begin this winter and require the site to be closed for a year, will improve the mansion and its rose and vegetable gardens, he said.

• Implement $25 million worth of repairs to restore Dyke Marsh, which has been losing 1 to 2 acres per year to erosion. That project should begin next year, Romero said.

• Reconstruct the parkway’s northern section between Spout Run in Arlington and its northern terminus at Interstate 495. The park service already has milled and repaved sections of the parkway’s southern section, which was the original roadway and formerly designated the Mount Vernon Memorial Highway. The northern part, built in the 1960s, has de-

Celebrating More Than 50 Years!

Tanglewood in The Berkshires The National Park Service soon will clean the famous statue at the U.S. Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington and make other improvements at that site. The agency also plans to reconstruct the north section of the George Washington Memorial Parkway, rehabilitate Memorial Bridge and conduct upgrades at several sites along the parkway.

graded to the point where milling and asphalt overlay only would repair the road for about one year, he said.

Road construction along the northern stretch will be done in phases to avoid creating gridlock on the heavily used parkway, Romero said.

National Park Service officials are preparing for an uptick in traffic along the parkway after tolling begins on Interstate 66 inside the Beltway.

The parkway area, which includes 15 sites in Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia, is the sixth-most-visited national park, Romero said.

“We are much more than a transportation corridor,” he said.

Park Service leaders also are producing a video to commemorate the National Park Service’s centennial, which will occur Aug. 25. Officials will hold a celebration at Glen Echo Park in Maryland on Aug. 27 to celebrate the occasion.

pepper Garden, Arlington’s only seniorliving facility for those of modest incomes that has both independent and assistedliving wings, raised $70,000 during its annual spring garden party, held in June.

The event was co-chaired by Brad and Diane Smith and attracted more than 100 attendees, including civic and business leaders. Doreen Gentzler of WRC-TV served as mistress of ceremonies.

At the event, Culpepper Garden board chair Susan Philp detailed plans to renovate Culpepper Garden’s 204 original units, which were constructed four decades ago.

Beginning early in 2017, renovation will be done in stages so residents are not displaced. Improvements will include upgrading HVAC systems, updating apartments to improve accessibility and repairing the exterior of the building.

Established in 1975, the non-profit Culpepper Garden, located on North Pershing Drive near Ballston, has grown to offer 340 apartment units for seniors ages 62 and older. For information, see the Web site at www.culpeppergarden.org.

throughout the Roman Catholic Diocese of Arlington served the underprivileged in six central Virginia counties during the diocese’s WorkCamp, held June 25 to July 1.

The teenage volunteers focused on projects designed to make homes safer and drier. This year’s 170 projects included building a wheelchair ramp for a disabled Iraq War veteran; a wheelchair ramp for Walnut Hills United Pentecostal Church; and new bedroom floors for Loisann’s Hope House (which homeless families); to name a few.

This year’s record number of teenage volunteers breaks the previous record of teenage volunteers by 50, organizers said, and participants said it had a major impact on their lives.

“WorkCamp gives me the opportunity to give back to the community while helping me strengthen my faith immensely,” said 17-year-old Jesse Dwyer of St. Teresa

Catholic Church, taking part for a second year.

“These young men and women have been preparing since January by attending monthly classes focusing on tool safety, Catholic social teaching, and other details to get the most of the camp experience,” said Kevin Bohli, the camp director.

“What’s more, each teen raised hundreds of dollars to work on somebody else’s house in the hot summer sun,” Bohli said.

Four-hundred adult leaders, volunteers and contractors joined the students in the 28th year of the initiative, sponsored by the diocese’s Office of Youth Ministry.

The program, based this year at Massaponax High School, also included daily Mass, an evening program complete with music and talks to help the young people reflect upon the experience, plus other high-energy activities for the youth and adult leaders.

“In loving our neighbor, we love Christ,” said Bishop Paul Loverde.

“WorkCamp is a profound, life-changing moment for so many teens, as they encounter Christ in their service to those with significant material needs.”

Arlington Notes II The total was below the average of 245 rides home during past July 4th holidays, due largely to the inclement weather that kept many people at home.

Despite the lower total, “SoberRide, on average, still removed a would-be drunk driver from greater Washington’s roadways every four minutes,” said Kurt Gregory Erickson, president of the Washington Regional Alcohol Program.

Since 1993, the initiative has provided more than 65,000 free cab rides home during holiday periods. For information on the initiative, see the Web site at www. soberride.com.

ARLINGTON PICKS UP PLANNING AWARDS: Two Arlington County efforts

have picked up honors from the Virginia chapter of the American Planning Association.

The county government’s Community Facilities Study was presented with the 2016 Public Outreach and Engagement Award. A 23-member committee, supported by 250 community participants in a “resident forum,” worked to evaluate the county’s changing facility and resources needs.

In addition, the county government’s Courthouse Sector Plan addendum, which focused on developing the Courthouse Square area, and project coordinator Jason Beske received an honorablemention award.

In all, five awards were presented for planning efforts across the commonwealth.

“These awards individually and cumulatively demonstrate the value of planning that is being done to create communities of lasting value,” said George Homewood, president of the American Planning Association’s Virginia chapter.

LITERACY COUNCIL SALUTES PARTICIPANTS, VOLUNTEERS: The Literacy

Council of Northern Virginia hosted its 54th annual recognition event at James Lee Community Center in Falls Church on June 21, saluting both the organization’s adult learners and the volunteers who support them.

The annual event is akin “to a graduation ceremony,” said council president Patricia Donnelly. She saluted the 700 active volunteers, who “do an enormous amount of direct-service work with the adults and within the organization as a whole.”

Donnelly also praised the perseverance of students.

“Many adults make sacrifices to get through English class or be tutored . . . it is their successes and their achievements

that we celebrate,” she said.

The literacy council honored Liem Dang, Gema Baron Ramos, Shu Chu Ho and Gloria Castellanos for their awardwinning essays on the theme “When I Learn English, My Community Grows.”

Shu Chu Ho said picking up English-language skills was a challenge, but worthwhile.

“When I came to America, I could not speak English. I only smiled at people when they talked, and I had to ask my daughter to translate,” she said. “Now, I can talk to anybody I want to. I can make friends wherever I go.”

The keynote speaker at the event was Del. Mark Keam (D-Vienna), who discussed his own journey as an immigrant and the struggles he faced in learning a new language and a new culture.

COMMUNITY FOUNDATION SEEKS ‘SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY’ NOMINATIONS: The Arlington Community Foun-

dation is accepting nominations through July 25 for the 2016 William T. Newman “Spirit of Community” Award, to be presented in the fall.

The award, named in honor of foundation founder Circuit Court Chief Judge William Newman Jr., is presented each year an individual who has demonstrated a tireless and unselfish commitment to improving the quality of life in Arlington.

Past recipients have included Meg Tuccillo, Karen Darner, Judy Connolly, Mary Ann Moran, Rich Doud and Jennie Davis.

Nomination forms are available on the foundation Web site at www.arlcf.org.

The award will be presented at a luncheon slated for Nov. 10 at the Renaissance Arlington Capital City View Hotel.

Spoken-Word Artist Is Tops in ‘Arlington’s Got Talent’ Lyfe, a writer and spoken-word performer who began creating poetry at age 13 in order to tell stories to the broader community, wowed the judges to win the fourth annual “Arlington’s Got Talent” competition.

Sponsored by the Young Professionals Program of Leadership Arlington and the Leadership Center for Excellence, the annual competition – held June 28 at the Salsa Room on Columbia Pike – brought out six finalists in a variety of genres.

Lyfe’s mission is to “leave his audience with a passionate and powerful message to make a change, laugh and

smile while holding on to life.”

His performance garnered strong reviews from returning judges Michael Foster, Susan Anderson and Matthew Shank and new-for-2016 judge Nate Robertson, as well as being a crowd favorite.

Travis Tucker, who has been near the top of the rankings each of the three times he has taken part in the competition, finished second for his original music and dance creations. Word of Mouth, a locally based a-capella group, finished third by channeling the music of Fleetwood Mac in a creative way.

Funding raised through “Arlington’s

Got Talent” supports scholarships for the Young Professionals Program.

Amanda Mark and Lara Malakoff served as co-chairs of the organizing committee.

The Young Professionals Program brings together participants from the private, public and non-profit sectors for four months of training and camaraderie, as members learn about regional leadership and making connections in a community that often is viewed as transient by the Millennial generation.

The deadline to apply for the fall Young Professionals Program session is July 15.

Review of Tax-Relief Programs for Seniors in Works SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Arlington government next month will embark on a review of tax-relief programs for the county’s seasoned citizens, an issue that drew COUNTY plenty of attention NOTES during the recent County Board Democratic primary.

County Manager Mark Schwartz said he plans to convene a panel to study issues and report back to board members in time for budget deliberations in 2017.

At the staff level, “we’ve already begun our work,” Schwartz said.

County Board members earlier this year directed Schwartz to begin looking into existing tax-relief measures, which offer senior citizens the chance to have their real-estate tax bills reduced or eliminated if they meet certain criteria. The board, which acted unanimously, said there may be other ways to better meet the needs of seniors than the current policies, but did not rule out retaining the existing rules.

Under current government policy, those who are 65 years of age or older, or permanently disabled, can qualify for exemption or deferral of taxes if they meet income and asset guidelines, although the accrued equity in their home does not count toward assets. For a two-person household, those who meet the as-

set limitations qualify for full exemption if their total annual income is less than about $56,000; they are eligible for partial exemptions of 25 percent or 50 percent if their income is no higher than about $100,000.

Reviewing current rules is “going to be very instructive,” said County Board member Christian Dorsey, who with board colleague John Vihstadt will serve as a liaison to the working group.

The issue of tax exemptions for seniors became a major one in the Democratic primary, which pitted incumbent board chairman Libby Garvey against challenger Erik Gutshall.

In mailers and on the stump, Gutshall suggested that eliminating the tax-exemption could force senior residents out of their homes, or leave their heirs facing massive tax implications. Garvey countered that it was unfair for those who have amassed hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity in their homes to pay no real estate tax, since it shifts the burden to others.

Garvey won the race, taking 55 percent of the vote against Gutshall.

Expansion of Whistleblower Hotline to Community Set for Fall: Arlington officials plan on expanding their year-old waste/fraud/abuse hotline, currently available only to government employees, to the general public sometime in the fall.

“I’m pleased to see the county is now

committed to this,” said board member John Vihstadt, who pressed for the hotline’s creation and its ultimate expansion beyond the workforce.

Over its first year in operation, the hotline attracted 13 complaints from employees, including two that remain under review and one that resulted in a change to county travel policy. But no evidence of widespread problems were found, said Maria Meredith, the county government’s acting director of the Department of Management and Finance.

The government contracts with a North Carolina firm to take reports online and by phone, all anonymously. “We wanted to ensure our employees we wouldn’t be tracking their IP addresses or phone numbers,” Meredith said. “We’re doing everything we can to retain anonymity.”

County Board Vice Chairman Jay Fisette said that the results so far suggest there are no major, systemic issues that need to be addressed. But he said he was OK with the hotline’s expansion to the general public.

“Opening it up to the county at large . . . is a fine thing,” Fisette said. “Every organization as large as this one is going to have some risk. What it takes [to prevent problems] is a culture of responsibility.”

Vihstadt said he has heard from some government employees who are not sure they can take assurances of anonymity seriously. The county government last year

approved a whistleblower policy that protects workers from reprisals, so long as the issues raised are deemed to be legitimate ones.

Ballston Construction Site May See Longer Hours Temporarily: Marymount University is seeking approval from the Arlington County government to allow construction activities to go on until 1:30 a.m. – temporarily – at the university’s Ballston-campus project.

County Board members on July 16 will be asked to permit the longer hours for approximately eight weeks beginning in mid-August. Currently, all construction activities must stop at 6:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays.

Marymount and the Shooshan Co., partners on the project, say the longer hours will allow Clark Construction to receive materials for the two-building complex with less impact to the surrounding community and to commuters.

Keeping to the existing hours would require closures of a lane of North Glebe Road and of North Fairfax Drive in order to accept delivery of materials, county staff said in recommending approval of the temporary extension of construction hours.

The project, slated for completion next year, includes a nine-story office building for use by Marymount and a 15-story, 267-unit apartment building with groundfloor retail.

Craftsman-Inspired Charmer Delights

Sorensen Homes Showcases Elegance in a Stylish New Property Family members Lester, Michael and Karla Sorensen have deep roots in Arlington, having grown up in North Arlington in an extended family (led by father Lester Sr. and his brother-in-law Merwin Mace) that was known for developing a large number of local properties in the prosperous post-war years.

This week’s featured property is a case in point. Showcasing more than 6,500 square feet of exceptional living space, it pays homage to the past with a Craftsman-inspired motíf, yet is ready for all the needs of 21st-century urbanvillage living.

A new survey shows nearly half of Millennials have relocated as adults to a new city or state due to matters of the heart.

While Millennials are currently the largest generation in the U.S. workforce and 51 percent of Millennials surveyed have moved for employment, jobs are far from the only reason this cohort is searching for new cities to call home.

According to the 2016 Mayflower Mover Insights study, which focused on Millennial moving trends, nearly half (46 percent) of 18-to-35-yearolds have moved to a new city, state or country to be with or find a romantic partner.

“They tell us that in addition to new careers, relationships and experiences are the driving forces causing this generation to pick up and move,” said Melissa Sullivan, director of marketing communications for Mayflower.

In addition to moving for relationships, the study found that nearly half (48 percent) of Millennials have moved for a new lifestyle or experience, but the experiences they value are varied.

The study does show this generation continues to be enamored by urban centers, with more than half (55 percent) currently residing in a big city or an inner suburb near the city and nearly three in five (57 percent) responding their continued desire to live in a big city or an inner suburb near the city.

The age group with the highest percentage of respondents living in an urban environment is 24-to-29-year-olds, with three in five currently living in a big city or an inner suburb near the city.

Of those between the ages of 30 and 35, less than 20 percent said they currently live in a medium sized town and even less in a distant suburb (14 percent).

While the oldest Millennials may not be as likely to live in a downtown area, they still prefer attributes often associated with more urban settings, with this age group expressing more than any other the “want” to live in a city with close proximity to microbreweries and wineries.

The youngest Millennials (18-23) were significantly more likely than the oldest Millennials (30-35) to identify live music and an active single scene as a priority for where they live, according to the survey.

Transportation Notes MEMORIAL BRIDGE PROJECT RECEIVES FEDERAL FUNDING: Members

of the local congressional delegation reacted with optimism to the news that renovations to the deteriorating Memorial Bridge will receive $90 million in grant dollars, but still have a way to go before the project is fully funded.

The National Park Service and District of Columbia Department of Transportation on July 5 announced award of the funding, which will support the first phase of renewal for the 85-year-old bridge.

But the funding is only a portion of the estimated quarter-billion dollars needed to fully refurbish the bridge, which connects Virginia and the District of Columbia over the Potomac.

The new funding includes a “significant federal investment” that “will go a long way towards ensuring that Memorial Bridge remains open, which is welcome news for the region’s commuters,” noted a joint statement of federal legislators of both parties representing the local region from Virginia, Maryland and the District of Columbia.

Current plans call for two stages of renovation and restoration. The first, which will focus on the approach spans (deemed most in need of repair), is estimated to cost $166 million. The second phase is expected to center on the main span.

Local leaders have painted a dire scenario that would include closure of the bridge to vehicular traffic by 2021 if repairs are not made, with traffic spilling over to the 14th Street Bridge and the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.

Constructed in the early 1930s, Memorial Bridge was designed to serve not just as a transportation link, but as a monument to national reconciliation some 60 years after the Civil War, and visually connects the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington House, the plantation that had been home to Robert E. Lee and his family before the war.

The project’s genesis derived from President Harding’s being caught in a massive traffic jam while taking a circuitous route to get from the White House to Arlington National Cemetery for ceremonies dedicating the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in 1921. Because the bridge is designated a national monument, it is under auspices of the National Park Service.

Currently, about 68,000 vehicles per day use the bridge. Because the boundary line between the District of Columbia and Virginia is located at the Virginia shoreline, almost all the bridge is located within the boundaries of the District of Columbia.

The $90 million in funding comes from the federal government’s FASTLANE grant program.

United Airlines failed in its effort to win federal approval for nonstop service between the Washington region and Havana, Cuba.

N.VA. PANEL OKs ‘BUS RAPID TRANSIT’ FOR ROUTE 7: The Northern Vir-

ginia Transportation Commission has bestowed its seal of approval on a proposal to run “bus rapid transit” (BRT) 11 miles between Tysons Corner and Alexandria, mostly along Route 7.

The commission – comprised of state legislators, local-government officials and business leaders – unanimously approved the proposal on July 7.

The BRT system is seen as a lowercost alternative to light-rail transit, which also had been proposed. It is designed to run between the Spring Hill Metro station in Tysons and the Mark Center in Alexandria, with a connection to the East Falls Church Metro station.

Planners estimate the new bus system would attract about 8,600 new transit riders per day. The BRT system would cost about $250 million to construct, according to most recent estimates, com-

pared to nearly $1 billion for a light-rail system, while annual operating costs would be about 45 percent less than for light rail.

REGION LEFT OUT AS ROUTES TO CUBA ARE ANNOUNCED: If a prelimi-

nary decision by the U.S. Department of Transportation stands, the Washington region will have found itself bypassed in its efforts to land nonstop air service to Cuba.

DOT officials on July 7 released a list of 10 U.S. airports that have been selected to offer service to Havana, starting as early as the fall.

And while United won permission to serve the Cuban capital from two of its requested four airports (Newark-Liberty and Houston-Intercontinental), its bids for service from Washington Dulles International and Chicago-O’Hare were turned down.

“We are disappointed,” said Kate (Roche) Bates, president of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce, which was among business groups from the Washington region to lobby on behalf of

Dulles.

“United’s Washington Dulles-Havana service would naturally provide an important link between capital cities, fostering official travel between the U.S. and Cuban governments and increasing the role of intergovernmental organizations with Cuba,” Roche said.

But the Washington region’s bid was hampered by the relatively low number of Cuban-Americans living here.

By contrast, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa, which have some of the largest concentrations of Cuban-Americans in the nation, all re-

ceived service. So, too, did Los Angeles, Charlotte, New York (Kennedy) and Atlanta.

United had been seeking one flight per week between Washington Dulles and Havana, to have operated on Saturdays. If the preliminary awards are upheld, United’s service from Newark will operate daily (with additional service on Saturday), with its flights from Houston running Saturdays only.

In a statement, United’s president and CEO said he was pleased with the allocation.

“These flights open the door to a new world of travel and opportunities for our customers,” said Oscar Munoz.

United was the only carrier to request service from a Washington airport to Havana. No carriers sought flights between Washington and Cuba’s secondary cities; those routes were awarded in early June.

Despite frosty diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba in the six decades since Fidel Castro seized power in Cuba during the Eisenhower administration, Virginia in recent years has built up a solid trading relationship with the Caribbean island-nation. Gov. McAuliffe earlier this year led a trade delegation to Cuba.

Under an agreement signed between the U.S. and Cuban governments in February, each country gave the other

the right to operate up to 20 flights per day between Havana and the United States.

U.S. airlines unhappy with the allocation from the Department of Transportation have until July 22 to file objections.

Even though scheduled air service between the two countries has been largely unavailable for a half-century, charter flights have operated with regularity in recent years. They will be permitted to continue.

While flight options will expand, Cuba still will remain off-limits to Americans who don’t have specific reasons to be there; merely wanting to visit as a tourist is not good enough. Categories that are permitted range from family visits and public performances to humanitarian efforts and “support for the Cuban people.”

Michael Forehand, vice president of government relations and counsel for the Northern Virginia Chamber of Commerce, said chamber leaders hope federal officials eventually will add Washington to the roster of regions with flights to Cuba’s capital.

“Approving capital-to-capital service from the Washington, D.C., metro area to Havana would be another tool to help grow existing businesses and attract new companies to our region,” he told the Sun Gazette.

Woodlawn Continued from Page 1

vey echoed the theme.

“We realize that opening the school without a field will inconvenience students and staff,” Garvey acknowledged in a statement. “This is a complex redevelopment effort, and all the parties involved must find creative solutions that work for our community.”

Complex, indeed: The WRAPS – Western Rosslyn Area Plan Study – site includes property owned by the county government, school system, the private developer Penzance and an affordablehousing developer.

The site is bounded by Wilson Boulevard, North Quinn Street, Key Boulevard and 18th Street North.

As approved by the County Board last June, the effort will include redevelopment of Penzance’s existing property at 1555 Wilson Blvd. and an adjacent, county-owned property into mixed-use buildings. In return for density higher than previously permitted, Penzance agreed to construct a new, permanent fire station as well as develop a new park and provide 100 parking spaces to the school system.

The developer’s proffers will save the county government and school system about $25 million, officials said. And, Garvey said in a glass-half-full moment, Woodlawn students would end up with better field space in the long run, because

Design of the new H-B Woodlawn facility planned for Rosslyn.

it will be at ground level rather than atop a parking garage as originally proposed.

Both County Board and School Board approval is slated for later in the month.

County Board members also must approve a number of procedural steps allowing the overall project to move forward, including providing Penzance with a 75-year ground lease on county-owned property.

School officials plan to move the HB Woodlawn program (and the smaller Stratford program) from their current location near Lee Highway to the new school in time for the start of the 201920 school year. Between the opening of the new school and completion of the Penzance mixed-use complex (which will include the permanent fire station and the parking), county officials will provide the school system access to recreational facili-

ties as well as parking off-site.

“We believe that when the project is finally completed, this site will not only be a great new home for H-B and the Stratford Program, but will also provide many, many benefits to our community,” Garvey said in a statement.

School Board Chairman Nancy Van Doren said the agreement announced July 1 would provide a savings of about $5 million to the school system, which could be used to address capacity issues countywide. The savings won’t come close to covering the cost of new facilities, but could have an impact: Arlington officials spent about $5 million to retrofit Washington-Lee High School with 300 additional classroom seats, and are planning to do the same to Wakefield and Yorktown high schools.

As for giving up Woodlawn’s recre-

ation space for two or three years? “We are committed to collaborating with our colleagues on the County Board to meet the needs of the entire community,” Van Doren said.

Tim Wise, president of the Arlington County Taxpayers Association, said the school system and county government deserved kudos for saving money through the partnership. But he suggested that far more self-restraint is needed.

“APS is to be congratulated for trying to show cost-consciousness, but unfortunately, it almost always seems that when the project is completed, once again, staff and their crony architects have built another high-cost facility,” he said of the Woodlawn project. “Seems the School Board needs to figure out a way of better managing staff.”

As part of the redevelopment plan, the School Board sought, and the County Board approved, demolition of the century-old Wilson School building.

Preservationists and the Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board opposed the demolition, but could not sway elected officials and, since the building is not located in a local historic district, had no power to prevent the building from being razed.

School Board members later this month are expected to approve the schematic designs for the new Woodlawn/ Stratford facility. When students move into the new building in 2019, their current home will be returned to its original use as a neighborhood middle school.

An Expanded Charmer in Donaldson Run

Set on a Large Lot, Property Offers 5,000 Square Feet of Interior Space

D

onaldson Run is one of those Arlington neighborhoods that savvy buyers and their agents know is always in style. With homes rarely coming on the market in this strategically located and bucolic community, every opportunity is sought-after by those seeking convenient modern living in classic surroundings.

Our featured property is a case in point.

The classic original home was tastefully and thoughtfully expanded in 2009, with the result being a showplace of 5,000 square feet of living area spread over four levels, all on a large and serene lot that sits inside the boundaries of one of the most acclaimed recreation associations in the region.

The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,397,000

by Ashley Alperin of Keller Williams Realty.

“Character” is a word to describe the brick property, with the classic walkway leading to the front door setting the tone for all the ambiance that will follow.

But this is hardly a property that is stuck in the past. The layout is designed for both entertaining in style and highquality daily living. Room sizes are large, the overall ambiance is light and airy, and living the good life is accomplished inside and out, as there is a deck out back overlooking the domains.

We are welcomed in the soaring-tothe-sky foyer, and to our immediate right is the spacious and gracious living room, with a warmhearted fireplace.

The kitchen and its adjacent morning room (with bay window) occupy a strategic position in the middle of the home.

The kitchen has all the accoutrements a chef would need.

At the rear of the home is the open combination of dining room and family room, which spans the entire back end and opens to the lovely deck area. It’s a testament to good design.

Off the main traffic flow of the first level is a home office, with light coming in from two sides.

Upstairs, the master retreat is our first stop. Spanning the entire back of

this level, there is a large bedroom area with a cathedral ceiling, plus a sumptuous bath and walk-in closet space.

Two additional bedrooms are found on the upper level, as are the laundry facilities.

And now we come to one of the true surprises of our tour – a completely inclusive bedroom package sitting one level higher.

Perfect as a guest suite, it offers a large bedroom, full bath, plentiful closet space and a sitting area. This space is emblematic of the versatility of the entire home; if not needed as a bedroom, it could be used as an artist’s or writer’s retreat, for example.

Additional delights await on the lower level, which is home to a fully independent au-pair suite featuring a separate entrance, kitchen and bath – yet again showcasing how flexible the space can be.

Additional rooms on the lower level include a home gym.

With the summer months upon us, the best vantage point of the rear yard comes from the deck area. Tall trees and lovely plantings are all part of the

creativity here.

Our featured property looks back to the past with its substantial brick construction, but it also is headed toward the future with creative design. All this in a location that puts you in the heart of urban-village living.

It’s an option that is well worthy of consideration.

Also among the Arlington dead of World War I were white residents John Lyon, Henry Smallwood, Robert Bruce, Harry Stone, Irving Newman, Harry Vermillion, Edward Smith, Frank Dunkin and Oscar Housel of the Army and Archie Williams and Frederick Schutt of the Navy.

Arlington’s dead were among 116,516 Americans who died during the two years the nation was embroiled in World War I – a total higher than the deaths in the Korean and Vietnam wars, combined.

Edwin Fountain, vice chairman of the federal government’s World War I Centennial Commission, recently attended a meeting of Arlington’s Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board (HALRB), asking that the county make an effort to commemorate the centennial of the war, which initially started as an intra-European conflict in 1914 but, three years later, drew in American forces.

HALRB officials plan to follow up

with County Board members to seek support for a commemorative effort, county officials said.

The Clarendon memorial also includes the names of county residents who have died in military conflicts since World War I.

Virginia, has tried to put behind it.

Among those who has voiced the desire for a change is Karen Nightengale, president of the Arlington branch of the NAACP. “There should be equal recognition,” Nightengale said. If that means replacing the existing plaque, which is affixed to the side of the memorial, “we would certainly entertain this thought.”

County Board Chairman Libby Garvey says that while she can’t commit the local government to moving forward with a change, “personally, I am very interested in considering another plaque.”

But a question nags: Would Arlington have the power to actually switch out the existing plaque with a new one? The answer is not particularly clear-cut.

State law regulates what can, and cannot, be done to official war memorials.

All-Stars Now Off To State Tourney DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

Lopsided slaughter-rule victories over the same opponent earned the ArSenior BASEBALL lington Babe Ruth 14under All-Stars the District 6 Tournament championship.

Arlington was 2-0 in the baseball competition, blanking Vienna, 12-0, in its first game at Barcroft Park on July 8, then winning 13-3 in the title contest July 9 at Greenbrier Park.

Arlington advances to the state tournament in Glen Allen near Richmond, beginning July 14.

“If we can keep from walking people and continue playing good defense like we have, we can be in every game,” Arlington manager Mike Krulfeld said.

“Our defense has been quite solid.”

Arlington had no walks in the championship game and turned a double play. Two pitchers combined for a nohitter in the 12-0 win.

Being near those neighborhood pools that host one of those outdoor events during the 8 a.m. until noon period is the evidence.

Within earshot of the pools, a constant noise of cheering is heard.

Visually, the first thing noticed is how many vehicles in pool parking lots or lining neighborhood streets are decorated in various ways, must commonly with colorful graffiti written on the windows and maybe a few streamers attached to bumpers.

Homemade signs, often written on large white bed sheets, hang on the pool’s exterior fences.

Once on the pool deck, one of the first things noticed is how many swimmers are colored in face and body paint, wearing weird-looking hats or outfits, which often includes the coaching staffs. There are also many additional homemade signs.

The next thing that’s obvious is how quickly the races progress, the organization and efficiency in which meets run, and the overall enthusiastic atmosphere and energy. Again, the cheering is nonstop, beginning during warmups before the first individual race, continuing through the last relay race, then until the final team scores are announced.

Another thing notable is how fast and effective the cleanup transition occurs, from the minute a meet is completed to getting things moved around and the pool rearranged for members to arrive and enjoy hours of leisure.

Summer swim events are basically a happy and fun time. Some meets and teams are more serious and competitive than others, but at the end of it all, the experience is enjoyable for those involved.

For those who have never attended such a meet, an encounter could be entertaining. But, it might be worthwhile to bring along earplugs.
