County Government Pressed to Offer Transparency on Amazon Negotiations SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Call it a rookie error: New-for-2018 Arlington County Board Chairman Katie Cristol in January promising what she perhaps could not deliver – full disclosure of details surrounding the county’s bid for Amazon’s secondary headquarters. Cristol later backtracked to a degree, saying the county government couldn’t release details in real time due to a nondisclosure agreement signed between the county and state governments. But Re-

publicans, sensing blood in the political water, have chosen to make transparency on the issue a campaign matter. “We would love to continue to drive this message home,” said Matthew Hurtt, a Republican activist, on Feb. 28 – the same day the chairman of the Arlington County Republican Committee called for the county government to release details about any economic incentives being offered to Amazon. Hurtt and Republican chairman Jim Continued on Page 20

More than a dozen Republican members of the House of Delegates voted against, but Arlington’s effort to retain its ability to levy a surtax on hotel stays to pay for tourism promotion is headed to the governor’s desk. The House of Delegates voted 82-17 on Feb. 28 in support of legislation, patroned by state Sen. Janet Howell (D-32nd), that extends for another three years the taxing authority. The state Senate previously had passed the measure on a 30-8 vote. The two bodies differed on whether a three-year “sunset” clause should be attached to the taxing authority – the Senate said no, the House said yes – but Howell has said she would accept it, so there should be little trouble for the two houses to reconcile the bill and send it to Gov. Northam. Arlington’s business and hospitality community backed the measure, which allows the Arlington government to add a 0.25-percent surtax to hotel stays. The resulting revenue – about $1.2 million – funds Arlington Economic Development’s tourism efforts. The taxing authority had been in place for 21 years when the General Assembly stripped it in 2011. The authority was restored in 2016 with a two-year sunset provision, requiring county officials to come back this year for reauthorization. A companion bill patroned by Del. Patrick Hope (D-47th) died without consideration in the House Committee on Finance.

Black Heritage Museum Exhibit Space Makes Debut SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

An enlarged cover of Rolling Stone magazine with a beaming Barack Obama on it welcomes visitors stepping off the elevator to the second-floor offices of the Black Heritage Museum of Arlington. But the focus of the museum, which is expanding from online to a bricks-andmortar presence, is decidedly local. “We are very happy,” acting museum president Scott Taylor said at a Feb. 28 soft opening of the three-room space, located above the Sun Trust Bank at 3108 Columbia Pike. About 100 people turned out for the reception, making it a standing-room-only event. Museum staff in the past have used the space for offices, but decided to reconfigure it and pave the way for exhibitions. “We said, ‘let’s just go ahead and start something,’” Taylor said. “We’re getting community interest.” Just three months ago, the space was a decided work-in-progress as volunteerbased renovations moved forward. “Doesn’t it look better? What a transformation!” said Carmela Hamm, one of the driving forces behind the effort. Exhibition spaces include information on the lives and works of several hundred years’ worth of those who lived in what is now Arlington County, highlighting achievements in the arts, civic leadership,

public safety, medicine, sports, the military and other fields. Those featured include James Parks, who was born a slave at Arlington House and served as a civilian in the U.S. Army as a custodian and grave-digger on the grounds from 1861 to 1929 – and who, on his death, received the unprecedented honor from the Secretary of War to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery. A more contemporary honoree is Brittany O’Grady, currently starring on FOX’s “Star.” (One of those highlighted at the museum – 1969 Washington-Lee High School graduate and Super Bowl champion Reggie Harrison – was in attendance at the opening reception.) There also is a focus on Arlington’s historic African-American neighborhoods, including the history of Freedman’s Village with a scale model. Artifacts range from high-school yearbooks and fire-station paraphernalia to slave records. Many of the information panels on display came from the creative talents of Hamm, who chairs the board. “I’m a very visual person,” she said when the renovation project was ongoing. “The response was phenomenal.” While there is not room to provide space for all the information panels at one time, items will be rotated in and out and “we can use [the extra] for traveling exhibits,” Hamm said.

in the future.” Once it formally opens, the museum will be accessible by appointment for groups, and the public is invited. “Just call us; we’ll let you in,” Taylor said.

GOP Hears the Good, Bad, Ugly of ‘17 Results

Statewide, Republicans Face Voter-Demographic, Geographic Challenges SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

They were listening attentively. But did Arlington Republicans absorb the message that was being relayed, or do the results of the November 2017 election still have the party’s rank-and-file looking for answers? David Poole, who heads the nonpartisan Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP), attended the Feb. 28 Arlington County Republican Committee meeting to provide data and analysis on the 2017 race, which saw Democrats win all three statewide offices and reduce the Republicans’ once fortress-like majority in the House of Delegates to a paper-thin margin. It was a result “no one saw coming,” said Poole, invited to the meeting by Arlington County Republican Committee chairman Jim Presswood. For those of the Republican persuasion, some of the data could be hard to stomach: • Among various demographic groups, the only one that stayed true to the GOP statewide in 2017 was the over-61 age group.

• College students and Millennials not only went heavily for Democrats, but voted in much higher numbers than before. • Voters with Asian heritage saw a huge boost in participation, and almost threequarters opted for Democrats. Latinos also saw increases in voter participation. • While a locality-by-locality map of Virginia showing gubernatorial results – red for Republicans, blue for Democrats – looks like the parties battled to parity in 2017, the Democratic vote strength was in urban and suburban jurisdictions with a much higher concentration of people. (“You can’t rely on Southwest Virginia alone,” Poole told the GOP gathering.) Perhaps the scariest statistic for Republicans? While the two statewide parties once were at relative parity in picking up financial support from small donors, in the 2017 campaign Democrats had a 21-to-1 advantage in garnering the cash, and presumably support, of those voters. After the surprise election of Donald Trump in 2016, “they felt like they needed to resist, needed to take action,” said Poole. The result: Republicans (including incumbents) fell by the wayside in droves to an onslaught of Democrats, many of

them political newcomers, and the GOP held on to control of the House of Delegates only by a paper-thin majority of one decided by a drawing after a tie result in one legislative district. In a question-and-answer session, Republicans largely complained about the influx of out-of-state money into Virginia campaigns. “I don’t like a Californian telling me who my delegate should be,” one speaker said. Good luck with changing that: Virginia election law focuses on disclosing campaign contributions rather than putting caps on who can contribute, or how much. “Virginia’s always had this ‘anything goes’ philosophy” to campaign finance, Poole said. Poole frequently speaks to groups across the commonwealth. “Our role is to provide information, so the public . . . can act on the facts,” he said. David Foster, a former Arlington School Board and Virginia Board of Education member who has served on the VPAP board, said the organization plays a vital role, and urged his fellow Republicans to become devotees.

Republican Chairman Back for 2 More Years SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

A familiar face will continue to hold the reins at the Arlington County Republican Committee for the next two years. Jim PressPOLITICAL wood, who POTPOURRI has chaired the GOP committee since early 2016, has been re-elected without opposition for a second two-year term. “You’re stuck with me,” Presswood said with a laugh at the committee’s Feb. 28 meeting, the last of its 24-month biannual cycle. Next month, the Arlington GOP reconstitutes itself for the next two years. Presswood, an attorney, was serving as the party’s precinct-operations chair when he was elected to succeed Matt Wavro in February 2016. During his first two-year term, Presswood’s focus was on candidate recruitment and raising funds. While the GOP has been the underdog in Arlington politics for three decades, Presswood said he’s enjoyed being at the helm. “It’s been a delight,” he noted. 4

March 8, 2018

Arlington Republicans this year are likely to concentrate their energies in 2018 on re-electing independent County Board member John Vihstadt, who has long ties to the local GOP. In 2014, Vihstadt rode a wave of voter discontent to become the first non-Democrat serving on the County Board in 15 years. Arlington Democrats at the start of the year had a change of leadership, as party chairman Kip Malinosky stepped down after two two-year terms. Malinosky was succeeded by Jill Caiazzo. GOP Details Start-of-Year Financial Data: The Arlington County Republican Committee had $7,568 in the bank at the start of the year, according to new figures, with plans to replenish its coffers in coming months. The committee started 2017 with $9,121 on hand, brought in $12,052 and spent $13,605 for the year, according to figures reported by party treasurer Pat Spann on Feb. 28. “Those dollars were put to good use last year – that money was well-spent,” party chairman Jim Presswood said.

The GOP’s funds will be replenished in coming weeks as party members are assessed their once-every-two-years dues. Unlike local Republicans, the Arlington County Democratic Committee does not usually reveal financial data at its monthly meetings, but state election data show the party brought in $70,350 in 2017. Democrats have tapped Josh Katcher, who in the past has led voter-registration and get-out-the-vote efforts, to ramp up fund-raising in 2018; Katcher has set a goal of $200,000 for the year, which would be twice as much as is raised annually by the neighboring Fairfax County Democratic Committee, a jurisdiction almost five times larger than Arlington’s. Women’s Club to Host Fund-Raising Soirée: The Arlington Republican Women’s Club will host its annual membership wine and hors d’ouevres celebration on Sunday, March 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. at a local home. The guest speaker will be Tom Dickinson of the Arlington Historical Society. The event is free; registration is requested by March 14 by e-mailing Margie Teed at teed-fam@verizon.net.

David Poole of the Virginia Public Access Project spoke to the Arlington County Republican Committee last week.

“Look at the wealth of information that is there,” he said of the group’s Web site, www.vpap.org. And, Foster said, “make a donation – this is a non-profit organization that lives on donations.”

Hope School-Board Election Bill Is OK’d Arlington’s elected School Board is another legislative step closer to being absolutely, positively, for-sure legal under state law. The state Senate on Feb. 26 voted unanimously in support of a bill patroned by Del. Patrick Hope (D-47th) adding to the Code of Virginia and permitting the county to have an elected School Board. Arlington has been electing its School Board members for nearly the past quarter-century, but when the state government in the 1990s authorized elected school boards, it neglected to include the language in the portion of the state code dealing specifically with Arlington. “This was just a clean-up bill to make sure the portion of the Code pertaining to Arlington – with the county-manager plan of government – properly reflects current practice,” Hope said after the measure passed and was sent to the desk of Gov. Northam.

Beyer Challenger Introduces Himself to County Republicans SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Republican challenger to U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th) used a Feb. 28 meeting of the Arlington County Republican Committee to introduce himself to the county’s GOP rank-and-file. “I look forward to the campaign,” said Thomas Oh, who in February was the lone Republican to file for the Republican nomination and was deemed the nominee without the need for a party convention. “Congress has failed us,” Oh said at the meeting, which drew about 50 Republicans. “It’s a lack of leadership. They’re more about their personal agendas.” At 25 years old, Oh – an Army veteran and currently a contractor in Falls Church – has just reached the minimum age for serving in the House of Representatives. Realistically, Beyer’s re-election is all but assured in the Democratic fortress that is the 8th District. Previous Republican opponents to Beyer – Micah Edmond in 2014 and Charles Hernick in 2016 – picked up 31 and 27 percent of the vote, respectively. Still, the nominee said he would give the campaign his all. “I think I can turn a lot of Democrats my way – I plan on going after Millennials,” Oh said. The 8th District includes all of Arlington County and the cities of Alexandria

He has not picked up any intra-party challenges, although he has to wait for the filing deadline to arrive later this month. If a challenger appears, Democrats will select their nominee in a June primary. Beyer has a war chest approaching $1 million, while Oh is starting from scratch.

Simon Is Again Tapped to Lead Planning Process for Station #8 SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington’s county manager has turned to a familiar face in leading a community process focused on remembering the past as Fire Station #8 moves into the future. Noah Simon, who in 2016 chaired a task force offering recommendations on where the station should be located, was named by County Manager Mark Schwartz on Feb. 27 to head the new working group. “Our work will build on the previous process and focus on developing recommendations which convey the historical significance of the fire station, its firefighters and medics to Arlington and the surrounding areas,” said Simon, an aide to U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8th), former School Board member and – maybe most important for this role – a trained mediator. “I appreciate the opportunity the county has given us to bring together such a talented group of volunteers,” Simon said.

In 2016, Simon oversaw a task force that ultimately, though not unanimously, recommended that Fire Station #8 be razed and rebuilt on its existing site, rather than moved, as county staff had recommended. County Board members sided with the task force. Simon did not take a position on that question, and was credited with giving all sides a say during that panel’s work. “He did a great job before; it’s not an easy task,” said County Board member Libby Garvey. The Fire Station #8 History and Legacy Working Group, as the new panel will be called, will hold its first meeting on Thursday, March 8 at 7 p.m. at LangstonBrown Community Center. Six countygovernment staff members have been designated as liaisons with the panel. Schwartz said the group is being asked to come up with recommendations – and price tags, if possible – on ways that the legacy of the fire station, its personnel and the community could be honored in

Highs & Lows THUMBS UP: To plans from state leaders in Richmond to raise the threshold for felony theft from $200 to $500. That seems like a reasonable compromise between those who would like to see no change at all and those who wanted to see the threshold bumped up much more, to perhaps $1,500, $2,000 or even higher, before felony charges kick in. As for those in that latter group, we’re a tad disconcerted by their reasoning. They seem to gloss over, with little care, the damage that is done to victims of crime, while focusing their attentions

on giving criminals more wiggle room to escape the ramifications of their actions. Anyone who’s ever been a victim of theft, be it an individual or a business, finds the experience exasperating and, often, emotionally traumatizing. Their experiences are hardly something to trivialize, as some appear to be doing in this case. THUMBS DOWN: To those very same lawmakers in Richmond, for taking yet another step backward in public education.

The two houses of the legislature approved a bill by state Sen. Chap Petersen (D-Fairfax) to permit local school districts to count elementary-school recess periods toward overall minimum instructional time. Good lord: While we’re in favor of recess at the elementary-school level – it’s a good thing – it should be in addition to, not in place of, classroom instruction. As if American students aren’t already behind most other First World (and some Third World) nations in educating their children, now we’ve got this to contend with. Sheesh.

Transparency Needed on School Decisions Editor: The Arlington School Board is set to choose a design concept for a new 725student Reed Elementary School. The future of the Westover neighborhood, the future of a generation of students and $49 million in taxpayer funds hang in the balance. Since the design process began last fall, it has been properly open to the public. However, on Feb. 9, four School Board members held a poorly publicized meeting to discuss the Reed design. I repeatedly have asked School Board

Chairman Barbara Kanninen to provide details about that meeting’s discussion. She has declined to do so. Instead, she has provided only vague minutes that state an Arlington Public Schools official “responded to board questions regarding [Reed design] options.” The purpose of this letter is to publicly ask Dr. Kanninen to post minutes of the Feb. 9 online with details about what questions were asked by which of the four board members present – and how the APS official responded to each

of the questions. County taxpayers deserve to have a full picture of what the board and APS are up to regarding the $49 million to be spent on a new Reed School. Taxpayers deserve that full picture well in advance of the regular March 8 School Board meeting (where design options will be presented) and the regular March 22 meeting, at which the board is scheduled to announce its decision regarding Reed School’s design. Bill O’Brian Arlington

Localities Should Take Action on the Environment Editor: U.S. Reps. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) and Jim McGovern (D-Mass.) recently announced that they are going to reintroduce the Saving America’s Pollinators Act into Congress, which would keep certain neonicitinoid pesticides from being sold in the U.S. until the Environmental Protection Agency conducts a through review of their safety. The Center for Biological Diversity published a report last year analyzing the health of 1,400 North American bee species, and found that more than half of those species are on the decline and about one quarter at at risk of extinction. In December 2017, the EPA pub-

lished assessments that neonicitinoids can kill birds and threaten aquatic life. Yet, also as of December, the EPA started considering whether to allow one class of neonicitinoid – thiamethoxam – to be sprayed directly on 165 million acres of wheat and other crops. The EPA assessment, which was introduced the same day as the proposal to increase spraying was received, found that thiamethoxam was one of the pesticides found to be harmful. Most of our food production depends on pollinators, and the continued use of neonicitinoids – whether to coat seeds or sprayed on land – will do even more damage to our world and reduce

our ability to grow fresh food for a balanced diet. Since the EPA is showing that it is completely capable of ignoring its own research on this issue, and Congress doesn’t seem to be able to take action on this crisis, it is time that independent jurisdictions took significant action. Calls to Congress are important, but individuals need to take personal responsibility for preserving our environment right where they are. They need to stop using pesticides and encourage their communities to give up neonicitinoids and other harmful pesticides. Emily Pfister Arlington

Macedonia’s Rev. Hamlin Is Going to National Cathedral Rev. Dr. Leonard Hamlin Sr., who has served at Macedonia Baptist Church for more than two decades, has accepted a post at the National Cathedral and will be leaving the Arlington church after Easter services.

Rev. Dr. Leonard Hamlin Sr., who has served as senior pastor at Macedonia Baptist Church in Arlington since 1996, has been appointed “canon missioner” at the Washington National Cathedral. The post is charged “with the development of mission, discipleship and education in creating a sustainable program of social justice outreach at the cathedral,” officials said in announcing the appointment. “Dr. Hamlin is passionate about the welfare of his community and God’s demand for social justice,” said the Very Rev. Randolph Marshall Hollerith, dean of cathedral. “We are excited about the skills and experiences in community engagement that he brings.” Hamlin is expected to take up the role in April, following Easter services at Macedonia Baptist. “The cathedral has a powerful witness and commitment to educating, equipping

and empowering servants to help solve social inequities,” Hamlin said in a statement. “I’m excited to help lead efforts to equip believers for service to God and the world.” In addition to his service at Macedonia Baptist, Hamlin has been active in the broader community, chairing the Arlington County Diversity Dialogue Task Force and serving as chaplain to the Arlington County Fire Department. He also has held leadership positions with the Arlington Free Clinic, the Arlington Community Foundation, the Bonder & Amanda Johnson Community Development Corp., WETA and Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Development. Washington National Cathedral, located on Northwest Washington, is the seat of the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church, and has been designated by Congress as the “National House of Prayer.”

Co. Board Finds Few Friends in Country-Club Dispute

Legislators, Including Some Democrats, Work to Tie Local Government’s Hands on Taxation SCOTT McCAFFREY

As written, the measure would apply may have to turn to Gov. Northam if it hopes to sty- to only two counties (Loudoun and ArGENERAL mie a legislative lington), but clearly targets the latter. And ASSEMBLY proposal that the implications could be significant: • Army Navy Country Club, which sits could significantly reduce the amount of tax revenue on 250 acres in the Nauck community, is coming in from the county’s two country assessed at $149 million – $132 million of that for the value of its land – and its 2017 clubs. Whether the new governor will give the tax bill was $1.5 million. • Washington Golf & Country Club, county what it seeks, however, is an open located adjacent to North Glebe Road, question. At issue is legislation by Del. Tim Hugo occupies 120 acres, has an assessed value (R-Fairfax) that would force Arlington of $83.2 million and received a tax bill of officials to assess Washington Golf & more than $867,000 last year. (2018 tax rates have not yet been set by Country Club and Army Navy Country Club mostly as open space, which would the County Board.)

purposes other than golf courses. Exactly how much lower the tax bills of the two country clubs would be if the measure passes remains to be seen, but it’s apparently a significant enough drop to have led two County Board members to propose advertising a slightly higher realestate tax rate in order to offset any potential loss in revenue. Instead, the County Board on Feb. 24 advertised the same rate – $1.006 per $100 – as last year. County Board Chairman Katie Cristol used the board’s Feb. 27 meeting to complain about the legislature’s “delivering tax relief to country clubs at the expense of Arlington taxpayers.” Board members Libby Garvey and John Vihstadt had been dispatched to the Senate Committee on Finance to try and derail the measure, but came away empty-handed. “We got a few votes, but not enough,” Garvey said of the 11-4 committee vote. Not only did Arlington’s efforts fall well short in committee, but some senators seemed incredulous at the county

government’s stance. “You mean to tell me they’re taxing [the clubs] like they had to provide . . . all the services you would associate with residential? They’re taxing it like that?” state Sen. Frank Wagner (R-Virginia Beach) said with furrowed brow. Now that the measure has passed both houses of the legislature, county officials could ask Gov. Northam to veto it. His ultimate decision might be driven by how likely a veto would be overridden, something no governor wants to see, particularly on a piece of legislation with such parochial, limited impact. (Northam’s predecessor, Gov. Terry McAuliffe, vetoed more pieces of legislation – 111 – than any predecessor, and was so strategic in his choices that not a single one of his vetoes was overridden by the legislature.) Last year, when McAuliffe was still in office, Arlington officials asked him to veto legislation targeting the county government, that time on the issue of towing regulations. In the end, McAuliffe sided with the local business community and signed the legislation. The patron of that 2017 towing bill? Del. Hugo, who is sponsoring this year’s country-club bill. As was the case with the towing measure, Arlington’s seven-member legislative delegation is supporting the county government’s position against the countryclub bill. Whether those lawmakers are willing to expend political capital with the governor, if that’s where the measure ends up, remains to be seen.

Silver Line Stations See More Ridership The five Fairfax County stations on Metro’s Silver Line each saw yearover-year passenger growth in the fourth quarter of 2017, according to new data, with total ridership on the five existing stations up 7.6 percent. The largest growth was at the Greensboro station, where the passenger total of 173,415 was up 15 percent from a year before, according to figures reported by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. Ridership rose 7.9 percent to 1,053,607 at Wiehle-Reston East, currently the western terminus of the Silver Line. Counts were up 6.8 percent to 528,154 at the Tysons Corner station; up 5.1 percent to 230,037 at the McLean station; and up 4.4 percent to 166,339 at the Spring Hill station. The five stations in Arlington that share Silver Line and Orange Line traffic saw a passenger increase of 1.9 percent to 5,622,915 in the quarter, according to the data. – Staff Report

Arlingtonian Outlines His Vision for Area BASIS School BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Ron Kim spent 23 years as a teacher and administrator at the elite Phillips Exeter Academy in New Hampshire and last fall brought high academic hopes to his new job as head of school at BASIS Independent McLean. The school, which opened in 2016 in a former Freddie Mac building in Tysons, serves 370 students in pre-kindergarten through 11th grade, and will begin serving high-school seniors next year. There are 59 faculty members, which translates roughly to a 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio. On a recent tour of the school, Kim – an Arlington resident – talked about the institution’s mission. Why did you want to work for BASIS? “I was really fascinated by what this organization is about. One of the things about Exeter that I really appreciated as a teacher and an administrator was we had a really rigorous admissions process. We only took about 18 percent of the kids and they were from around the world. It was the ability to pick the cream of the crop . . . At BASIS, these kids score at the highest level in the world because of what they get from the curriculum.” What is the school’s guiding philosophy? “When you look at countries like

Korea, Finland, Singapore and China – the countries that are the usual suspects that are really high up on the [scholastic achievement] list – all those countries begin with the assumption that all their kids should achieve at really high levels. We wanted to begin with that same assumption . . . I think a lot of the time we underestimate how hard kids are willing to work. If you set the bar high, they’ll meet it. If you set it lower, they’ll meet that.” What is the school’s learning environment like? “We make sure that we have great teachers in the classrooms, that they are very highly trained. We have a number of Ph.D.s. In grades 1 through 4, there are two teachers, one is a subject expert, the other is a learning expert . . . When I went to grade school, there was one teacher on everything. Here, it’s the math teacher who teaches math and the English teacher is teaching the language. And along the way there’s a learning expert who knows how you learn best and can help you if you’re having any struggle.” How is the curriculum different? “In grades 1 through 4, they do something called ‘Connections,’ which is a time in their schedule where they pull together a lot of different things that they’ve been learning. They’ll have a project that helps them understand how the math, science and history all connect. It’s a classic, but somewhat under-appreciated, view of ed-

ucation. You remember those things when you can attach it to something that has some kind of meaning.” Which international academic standards do you seek

to meet? “The primary one is the PISA [Programme for International Student Assessment] exam. The students in the BASIS network are the highest-scoring kids in the world. And it’s not because we have pre-selected the kids. Most of the kids in the BASIS network are still in the charter schools in Arizona. Those are the kids who form the bulk of the students who are taking these exams.” How are BASIS’s charter schools different? “The foundational curriculum is the same, but the independent schools are able to have a more fully built-out set of electives. The extra-curricular activities also tend to be much more robust.” Is BASIS’s original school in Tucson, Ariz., still there?

“As I hear, the first building in 1998 had 56 students in a strip mall. So I’m pretty sure we’re not there anymore.” Does BASIS interact with other private schools in the area? “We do play sports against other schools. [Recently] we also hosted a Math League competition, competed against other schools and won first place.” How does BASIS compete against formidable private schools in the region? “What we’re looking for is not to have our students do better than those schools in the area. We want them to be doing better than all the other kids in the world. That’s how we’re trying to distinguish ourselves.” What will the future of education look like? “It’s hard to know, hard to predict the future. What we know is you need to have some foundation in knowledge. You need to be able to read, write, do math and science. And then you need to know what to do with that.” What is the school’s liberal-arts curriculum? “We teach logic, Latin, history, English and art. We know are students are going to have to have creativity. That’s where the humanities are still extremely valuable. If you can have that knowledge of math and science and still be creative, there are so many things in the world that you can do.”

Co. Board OK’s Construction Proposal for Fire Station SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Arlington County Board members on Feb. 24 approved a plan for the new Fire Station #8 on Lee COUNTY Highway that will the contractor, NOTES make not taxpayers, responsible for cost overruns and construction hiccups. Board members were asked by staff to approve a “construction-manager-at-risk” method for reconstruction of the existing fire station, which has served since the 1960s. The existing structure will be razed and a new two-story, two-bay station put in its place at 4845 Lee Highway in the Halls Hill/High View Park community. County officials have warmed to the construction-manager-at-risk concept in recent years; among projects making use of that method are the new Lubber Run Community Center. Using that construction method may result in a higher up-front cost for the county government, but will put the onus for many potential construction-related problems on the contractor that eventually is selected for the Fire Station #8 job. County officials estimate the total cost for the project at $21.07 million. About two-thirds of that funding is dependent on voter approval in a referendum slated for this November. Voters in 2016 approved bond funds for design of the station. County Board members in 2016 sided with community residents and a task force in deciding to raze and rebuild the station on its existing site. County-government staff had proposed moving it about onethird of a mile to the east to a site at 26th Street North and Old Dominion Drive. The public was split on the options: • Those advocating rebuilding on the current site argued that more people would be best served by keeping the station where it is, particularly since the Lee Highway corridor is likely to experience significant residential and commercial growth in coming years. • Those seeking a move to Old Dominion said the greater public-safety threat is homes in far northwest Arlington that have to wait longer for both fire and ambulance service. In order to accommodate the new fire station (and construction of a temporary station for the duration of construction), County Board members authorized purchase of two houses adjacent to the station on North Culpeper Street. Water, Sewer Rates Likely to Remain Unchanged: Arlington’s water and sewer rates would remain unchanged in the coming year, under a proposal being considered by the County Board. Board members on Feb. 24 set an April public hearing on a staff proposal to leave rates as they are: $4.53 per 1,000 gallons for water and $9.09 per 1,000 for sewer, for a combined rate of $13.42. For a typical household that uses 60,000 gallons of water per year, the an-

nual bill of $817 would also remain unchanged. According to county officials, that rate is in the middle of the pack among jurisdictions in the Washington metropolitan area. Arlington sets water and sewer charges to recoup 100 percent of the costs of running its water-sewer network. Departing Chair of Park and Recreation Commission Honored: Arlington County Board members on Feb. 27 saluted Caroline Haynes, who recently wrapped up four years chairing the Park and Recreation Commission. Haynes has a collaborative nature that served the community well during a variety of planning projects involving parks and open space, said County Board Chairman Katie Cristol. Haynes is “one of the most productive, well-liked and good-humored citizens” in Arlington, added board member John Vihstadt. “When there’s a vacancy at the United Nations, we might want to put [her] name forward.” “It’s been a wonderful team,” Haynes said of the commission, where she will remain a member. Bill Ross has rotated in as chair. Arlington benefits from an engaged public, Haynes said. “People are really passionate about their parks,” she said. Synthetic-Turf Field to Be Replaced

at Long Bridge Park: Arlington County Board members on Feb. 24 awarded a contract worth up to $468,000 for replacement of the synthetic turf on one of Long Bridge Park’s sports fields. Field #3 has been in use for seven years and is “worn and beyond reasonable repair,” said Aaron Wohler of the county’s Department of Parks and Recreation. Seven firms bid on the project; GTR Turf was the low bidder at $425,329. Construction is slated to start in March and be completed by June. Two additional fields at the park are slated to have their synthetic turf replaced in the coming year.

Caroline Haynes speaks to Arlington County Board members after being honored for her leadership on the Park and Recreation Commission.

Real Estate Featured Property of the Week

Storybook Setting in Lee Heights

Expanded All-Brick Colonial Sits in Quiet, Verdant Locale

Here’s another sign that spring is in the air: Our featured property for the week is an exceptional, expanded colonial set on a large lot that includes a glorious and visually appealing amount of plantings, ready to blossom. Stragetically positioned in Lee Heights, the locale offers a quiet, treelined, non-through street that sets the tone for a home with 3,100 square feet of well-planned, charming interior space. Inside and out, the home is a perfect retreat, and its location puts you close to everything from parks and nature centers to wonderful shopping amenities. The property currently is on the market, listed at $1,339,900 by Dave Lloyd of Weichert, Realtors. An open house is slated for Sunday, March 11 from 1 to 4 p.m. The mid-1950s provenance of the home harks back to a time when Arlington was growing both in population and in affluence, and this home was designed to meet those needs. Subsequent expansions have added to the versatility of the home while taking away none of the exceptional charm. A brick walkway leads us to the entry foyer and a warm welcome as we begin to explore the domains. To our immediate right is the large

living room, perfect for entertaining and featuring a fireplace and access to the wrap-around rear patio. The dining room and kitchen can be found on the other side of the foyer, each inviting and functional, and each leading to a large sun room with high tray ceiling and access to the patio. A main-level bedroom with remodeled bath and generous closet space is an added bonus, showcasing the flexibility of the design. Upstairs, the owner’s retreat, also with remodeled bath and generous closet space, is a wonderful respite from the stresses of the workaday world, with two additional bedrooms plus attic access. The more informal spaces of the lower level include a large recreation room with gas fireplace and wet bar,

plus a gaming area and fourth bath. There also is plenty of storage space, and access to the one-car garage. Outside, the splendors of nature can be found on the lot, and the property is surrounded by marvelous Arlington Countyowned woodlands for amazing views and

privacy. Articles are prepared by the Sun Gazette’s real estate advertising department on behalf of clients. For information on the home, contact the listing agent. For information on having a house reviewed, contact the Sun Gazette’s real estate advertising department at (571)333-6272.

Walkability Sought After by Multiple Generations It is no longer just Millennials propelling interest in walkable communities. According to a new report from the National Association of Realtors, members of the Greatest (or “Silent”) Generation, those born before 1944, also prefer smaller homes in neighborhoods with easy walks to shops and restaurants. The 2017 National Community and Transportation Preference Survey, which polled adults from across the U.S. about what they are looking for in a community, found that 62 percent of Millennials and 55 percent of the Silent Generation prefer walkable communities and short commutes, even if it means living in an apartment or townhouse. Gen-Xers and Baby Boomers still show a strong preference toward suburban living, with 55 percent of both groups saying that they have no problem with a longer commute and driving to amenities if it means living in a single-family, detached home. “Realtors understand that when people buy a home, they are not just looking at the house, they are looking at the neighborhood and the community,” said NAR president Elizabeth Mendenhall, a sixth-generation Realtor from Columbia, Mo., and CEO of Re/Max Boone Realty. “While the idea of the ‘perfect neighborhood’ is different for every homeowner, more Americans are expressing a desire to live in communities with access to public transit, shorter commutes and greater walkability,” Mendenhall said. According to the survey, the majority of Americans, 53 percent, would prefer to live in communities containing houses with small yards but within easy walking distance of the community’s amenities, as opposed to living in communities with houses that have large yards but they have to drive to all amenities. This is up from 48 percent in 2015, according to the figures. The survey also found that a majority of Americans, 88 percent, are very or somewhat satisfied with the quality of life in their communities, and 51 percent of those people believe that the walkability of their neighborhood contributes to that quality of life.

Arlington Notes III WOMEN’S CIVIC ALLIANCE HONORED:

The Arlington Women’s Civic Alliance has received the 2018 Milliken Award from Communities in Schools of Northern Virginia, recognizing those who work to better their communities by focusing on the most vulnerable residents. Alliance president Peggy Richardson accepted the award on behalf of the organization during an Olympic-themed benefit at the home of David and Ellen Sher in Arlington. The Arlington Women’s Civic Alliance was founded in 1993, and has raised funds to support Arlington non-profits and engage in hands-on volunteer-service projects. In the words of the award citation, “Through enduring friendships, the women of the Alliance have provided financial and programmatic support to over 48 local non-profits across their community for the past 25 years.” In 2015, the alliance gave Communities in Schools of Northern Virginia a grant to develop a mentoring and support group for freshman girls at Wakefield High School. The alliance also has supported the organization with collections of gift cards, coats and other items for CIS clients, and numerous individual volunteer hours distributing groceries and assisting students. This is the first time an organization, rather than an individual, has won the Milliken Award, which is named for long-

time Arlington residents Bill Milliken, the founder of Communities in Schools, and his wife Jean. Milliken founded the organization in the 1970s in New York City, with the goal of bringing community resources into schools to build relationships between students and supportive adults in the community and empowering students to succeed in school. The organization has since spread to 25 states and the District of Columbia, and is active in more than 2,000 schools. The award citation was presented with an original art print by Ismael Huarachi Mamani, a student at Arlington Community High School who is completing his high-school diploma at night while working full-time to support his family. ARLINGTON CHAMBER PREPS FOR ‘BEST BUSINESS’ AWARDS: The Ar-

lington Chamber of Commerce has announced plans for its 32nd annual Best Business Awards, to be held on Wednesday, May 2 from 5:30 to 9 p.m. at the Key Bridge Marriott Hotel.

Tickets are $125 for members, $145 for others. For information, call (703) 5252400 or see the Web site at www.arlingtonchamber.org.

Shown from left as the Arlington Women’s Civic Alliance was honored with the 2018 Milliken Award from Communities in Schools of Northern Virginia are (front) Jean Milliken, Bill Milliken; Angie Wilcox, Peggy Richardson, Ellen Sher, Lisa Martin, Candy Fowler, Sharon Deangelis Diane Greenlee and (rear) Patrick Brennan and Cindy Kowal. SYNETIC ANNOUNCES 2018-19 SEASON SCHEDULE: Synetic Theater has

announced plans for its 2018-19 season, including two Shakespeare classics and family favorites with a twist. “This lineup plays to Synetic’s unique strengths, as well as stretches our muscles,” said artistic director Paata Tsihurishvili. “It’s a great blend of very diverse stories, from melodrama to high comedy to adventure.” The season opens Oct. 17-Nov. 11 with a production of “King Lear,” followed by a family-theater presentation of “My Father’s Dragon” (Dec. 4-Jan. 6); “Cyrano”

(Feb. 6-March 10); “Richard III” (May 15-June 16); and “Treasure Island” (July 17-Aug. 18). Performances are held at Synetic’s space at 1800 South Bell St. Founded in 1996, Synetic has garnered 121 Helen Hayes Award nominations and won 28 Helen Hayes Awards for its productions. For information on the upcoming season, see the Web site at www.synetictheater.org. The Sun Gazette welcomes your submission of items for inclusion.

Bus Usage Dips It may simply be a case of riders filtering back to rail service once the worst of the SafeTrack disruptions had ended. But whatever the cause, ridership on public bus systems across Northern Virginia saw significant year-overyear declines during the fourth quarter of 2017. Virginia-based ridership on Metrobus was off 8.1 percent, while declines were also reported on all local bus systems in Northern Virginia’s inner suburbs, according to figures reported by the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission. For the quarter, traffic was down 8.9 percent on Arlington Transit (ART); 3.3 percent on the Fairfax County Connector; 2.4 percent on the city of Fairfax’s CUE service; and 2.2 percent on Alexandria’s DASH bus network. The declines came as Metrorail service saw an uptick of 2.4 percent to 22.2 million Virginia-based riders during the quarter, with a weekday rail average of 270,529 Virginia passengers. Virginia Railway Express – which provides rail service from the outer suburbs to Alexandria, Arlington and the District of Columbia – saw its passenger count for the quarter up 1.9 percent.

Transportation Notes ANNUAL PASSENGER COUNTS RISE AT LOCAL AIRPORTS: Another record-set-

ting year for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport was coupled with solid growth at Washington Dulles International Airport in 2017, according to yearend figures reported Feb. 20. A total of 46,620,179 travelers came and went through the two airports in 2017, up 2.8 percent from 2016 – a new record. At Reagan National, the passenger count of 23,905,407 was up 1.4 percent from 2016 and marked the seventh consecutive year of record totals. Dominant carrier American Airlines saw a 1.2-percent growth in passenger counts, totaling almost half – 11.7 million passengers – served at the airport. The airport’s total passenger count has risen by nearly one-third over the past decade, despite Reagan National’s landlocked location and restricted landing and take-off “slots” allocated to airlines. At Washington Dulles, the growth rate of 4.1 percent to 22,714,772 passengers in 2017 represents the fourth consecutive year of passenger growth following almost a decade of up-and-down results. The airport’s all-time passenger record of 27 million was set in 2005, when the nowdefunct Independence Air was challenging United for passengers. At Dulles, year-over-year passenger growth was relatively evenly split between

domestic travel (up 4.3 percent to just under 15 million) and international service (up 3.6 percent to 7.7 million). The overall total was aided by growth on the domestic side reported by United Airlines, the airport’s dominant carrier. For 2017, Dulles saw year-over-year passenger increases every month but September, while at National, passenger counts were up in eight months but down in March, May, September and December. (Reagan National in particular benefited from the January 2017 presidential inaugural and counter-inaugural protests, which helped boost its monthly total to 881,000 from 760,000 a year before.) National Airport opened in 1941; Dulles in 1962. Both remain owned by the federal government, but are operated under a long-term lease by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which is overseen by the federal government, state governments of Maryland and Virginia and government of the District of Columbia. Full figures are available at www. mwaa.com. DULLES TRAFFIC IS UP, NATIONAL’S DOWN IN DECEMBER: Softer passen-

ger traffic at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in December was offset by growth at Washington Dulles International Airport, leaving the two airports,

collectively, in positive territory in December. A total of 3.7 million passengers used the two airports the last month of 2017, up 0.7 percent from a year before, according to figures reported Feb. 20 by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority. The growth was concentrated at Dulles, where the 1.83 million passengers represented a year-over-year increase of 2.2 percent. Dominant carrier United – which is responsible for more than 63 percent of traffic at the airport – saw its domestic-passenger total increase 5.4 percent, although United’s international traffic was down. Dulles also benefited from an increase in destinations offered by Frontier over the past year, while Delta and American saw passenger-counts decline. On the international-passenger front, increases were posted by Aer Lingus, Ethiopian and Air China, with declines reported by Air Canada and British Airways. At Reagan National, which saw a seventh consecutive year of record passenger totals in 2017, December’s figures were soft, with the 1.84 million passengers representing a decline of 0.7 percent from a year before. While National’s dominant carrier American posted a 2.2-percent increase, declines were reported by Southwest,

United and JetBlue. Alaska, which has a limited presence at Reagan National, saw a slight bump up. At Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall, operated by the Maryland state government, December’s passenger total of just under 2.2 million was up 2.8 percent from a year before. Southwest is the dominant carrier at BWI, accounting for just under 70 percent of total passengers in December. Full details can be found at www. mwaa.com.

Amazon Continued from Page 1 Presswood said they weren’t necessarily against efforts to lure Amazon, but argued Arlington taxpayers should know exactly what county officials are promising, win or lose the bid. Hurtt said he expected the request would pick up wide support across the political spectrum. “Democrats and those on the left are opposed to corporate welfare – those on the right are, too.” (The GOP effort garnered an unlikely ally in Lowell Feld, who runs the leftleaning Blue Virginia blog. “I actually agree with them on this one,” Feld wrote on March 1.) It was at Leadership Arlington’s “Meet the Chair” event on Jan. 18 that Hurtt asked Cristol whether the govern-

Fire Station Continued from Page 5 the new facility, which will be constructed where the current, 1960s-era fire station now stands on Lee Highway in the Halls Hill/High View Park neighborhood. “This is not just a fire station, but an historic community institution,” Schwartz said. Recommendations are due by late

ment would be transparent in its bid for Amazon’s headquarters. In response to the question and a follow-up, Cristol suggested that, win or lose, the details would be forthcoming. “There’s nothing in there that couldn’t ultimately be made public,” she said at the forum. The dispute between the board chair and Republicans may hinge on the definition of “ultimately” – the GOP seeing it as meaning sooner rather than later. “It’s time for the county to make public at least the basic framework of what it is offering. Backroom deals are not the Arlington Way,” Presswood said in the Feb. 28 press release. (In a Twitter response to Hurtt, Cristol said the dispute centered around “significant mischaracterizations” of her January comments.) The party chairman urged the Republican rank-and-file to keep the debate

stoked by attending board meetings and speaking at the upcoming tax and budget hearings. “We’ll let people know about opportunities” to speak out, Presswood said. Hurtt, a young but veteran Republican activist, said the issue underscored why it was important for party members to stay engaged in their community and participate in civic-engagement intercourse. “It is critically important for us to go to these events,” he said. More than 230 communities formally expressed interest in becoming Seattlebased Amazon’s “HQ2” location. The 20 making the first cut include three in the local area – Northern Virginia, the District of Columbia and Montgomery County, Md. – along with communities that include Denver, Boston, Los Angeles and Pittsburgh. Toronto is the lone prospect outside the United States. Amazon officials toured the North-

spring and will be incorporated into planning the design of the new, two-bay station. Voters already have approved design funds for the project, and likely will be asked to authorize construction moneys in a November referendum. The construction process is expected to span two years. It was 100 years ago – in 1918 – when volunteers in segregated African-American neighborhoods straddling Lee Highway obtained a 60-gallon chemical tank to battle fires in their community, where

other fire brigades seldom ventured. The African-American Halls Hill Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1925, and in 1951 the neighborhood got its first paid firefighters – a group that at first was all-black. County fire stations were integrated in 1963. The historic nature of the fire station and its relationship to its surrounding community is what led many, though not all, nearby residents to press for it to remain on its current site. As part of the agreement to keep it there, county offi-

ern Virginia sites in recent days, Gov. Northam confirmed on Monday, but he gave few details. A decision on the site selection is expected in coming months. cials promised to take steps honoring the station’s history. “The process will be transparent and will blend human experiences and connections to the past, while honoring the daily work of today’s firefighters and medics,” Simon told the Sun Gazette. ••• For information, see the Web site at https://projects.arlingtonva.us/projects/ fire-station-no-8-history-legacy-workinggroup/.

Two More Wins Equal State Title

Dave Facinoli

DAVE FACINOLI Staff Writer

The Wakefield Warriors got the start they wanted in the first round of the boys basketBASKETBALL state ball tournament March 3 with a comfortable victory over the Harrisonburg Blue Streaks. Northern Region 5D champion Wakefield (23-6) won the Virginia High School League Class 5 contest, 68-49, at Robinson Secondary School, never trailing and leading by more than 20 points on occasion. Against Harrisonburg (16-9), Wakefield led 16-9 at the end of the first quarter, 28-24 at halftime and 45-31 after three periods. “We showed flashes of playing well, but I thought we could have played better,” Wakefield coach Tony Bentley said. “Defensively, we got the job done and we did a good job on their leading scorers.” Wakefield made 28 of 40 free throws, with senior forward A’Mari Cooper making 10. Cooper had a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds along with three steals and three assists to lead Wakefield. Continued on Page 24

O’Connell Teams Fall to Paul VI in Playoffs A Staff Report

In their best showing in the tournament since 2013, the Bishop O’Connell finBASKETBALL Knights ished second in the Division I state private-school boys basketball competition. Third-seeded O’Connell (25-7) fell in the championship game March 3 by losing to its top Northern Virginia high school rival in the No. 1 seed Paul VI Catholic Panthers, 58-40, in the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association’s tournament at Virginia State University in Petersburg. O’Connell previously had lost to Paul

VI in two regular-season games earlier during the 2017-18 campaign. In the state final, Paul VI started fast and never looked back. The Panthers led 20-6 at the end of the first quarter and 30-10 at halftime, and were comfortably ahead the rest of the way. The Knights were 2-1 in the state tournament, nipping No. 6 seed Episcopal, 57-56, in the quarterfinals after a first-round bye, then downing the defending champion and No. 2 seed Trinity Episcopal Titans (26-4), 81-72, in the semifinals. Trinity defeated O’Connell in last year’s state-tourney semis. In this season’s semifinal, Matt Becht led the Knights with 30 points, includ-

ing seven of the team’s 11 three-pointers. O’Connell led 48-20 at halftime, slowing the Titans’ offense a bit by playing a 2-3 defense. Forward Charlie Weber had 13 points and eight rebounds for O’Connell, point guard Xavier Johnson had 12 points, guard/forward Jahmal Banks had 10 points and seven boards, guard Ayan Teel had 10 points and four assists, and forward T.J.

There is one team of gold medalist so far – the Wakefield Warriors in region boys basketball – and multiple region and state individual champs in various sports. Those accomplishments made the 2017-18 winter campaign one of the best in recent history for Arlington. In boys track and field, Washington-Lee High School senior Jabari Bennett won indoor region and state boys shot-put titles, and teammate Jonny Jackson won the boys 1,600meter region crown. If Bennett wasn’t the winter’s biggest individual star, it was Yorktown High freshman swimmer Victoria Huske. She won the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly at the state meet and swam on two winning relays. Her efforts helped Yorktown’s swim and dive team finish a close second. Huske won one race at the region meet. Bishop O’Connell swimmer Madelyn Donohoe won 200 and 500 freestyle races at the Division I privateschool state meet, while her teammate, Paige Hall, won the state 50 free. In region diving, Yorktown’s Hannah Karlin won a girls crown and in boys state diving, Wakefield’s Justin Clark finished with gold. In girls gymnastics, Yorktown’s Katya Olsen won the region allaround championship, then at the state meet won the vault. Her teammate, Julia Hays, was a state floor-exercise champ. In wrestling, Wakefield’s Vincent Galang (145 pounds) and Loranzo Rajaonarivelo (160) and Yorktown heavyweight Clay Chadwick were region winners. In addition, there were multiple second- and third-place region and state finishers from the four Arlington high schools.
