Boundary Adjustments

APS Leaders Promise to Hear Voices of the Public SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The chairman of Arlington’s School Board says she and her colleagues will listen carefully to community input and feedback as they embark on the almost-always-contentious issue of boundary changes in coming months. “We intend to be positive and constructive and hear all voices,” board chairman Barbara Kanninen said. Board members plan on tackling middleschool boundaries in the fall, then move on to elementary-school boundaries next spring. The changes that are adopted will go into effect for the 2019-20 school year, when a new elementary school and new middle school are slated to open. Getting new boundaries in place early will give parents and students a chance to digest the changes and their impact, Kanninen said. “We’re a year early, so there’s plenty of time,” she said during a presentation to the Arlington County Democratic Committee. School Board members earlier this year wrapped up a modest set of revisions to highschool boundaries, an effort that started with praise for the amount of community engagement but ended with criticism from some that the changes exacerbated racial and ethnic imbalances among Wakefield, Washington-Lee

Democrats to Honor McDermott for Service to County Veteran community and political leader Joan McDermott will be honored as the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s Senior Democrat of the Year, party officials announced Aug. 2. “I was surprised – I felt rather humbled and happy,” McDermott said of the honor, calling local Democrats “like an extended family.” McDermott long has been active in Arlington politics, opening her home to Democratic events and serving as captain of the Rock Spring precinct. And she is a veteran member of the party’s “Kitchen Crew,” which helps feed the faithful at Democratic events. In the broader community, McDermott has served on the Planning Commission,

Historical Affairs and Landmark Review Board, Commission on Aging, Arlington Bicentennial Celebration Task Force and in a host of other capacities. “She has put in decades’ worth of service,” said Arlington County Democratic Committee chairman Kip Malinosky. At a time when Millennials are taking their place in political leadership roles, the annual awards program was instituted three years ago to build a bridge between those who began their political activities decades ago with those who are starting out. Previous recipients include Charlene Bickford, Richard and Jean Barton, and Peg Hogan. The 2017 presentation will be held Sunday, Oct. 8 at the home of Sharon Davis. Bickford said McDermott is worthy of celebration due to her “long-term and

steady commitment to the ideals of the Democratic Party and the ACDC, and willingness to do almost any job that helps elect Democrats.” “Joan is one of those longtime Arlington Democrats who is always there and ready to work on almost any task,” said Bickford, a former party chair. “She has served as a model precinct representative, identifying the Democratic voters in her precinct and staying in touch with them. She recruited many volunteers to assist with the canvassing and phone calls, and always demonstrated how much she appreciated the work of these volunteers.” The annual awards program is one of three covered by the Arlington County Democratic Committee’s “gold card,” which also includes admission to the party’s annual Labor Day chili cookoff on Sept. 4 and a gala on Oct. 21. Indi-

vidual tickets for each event also can be purchased. For information, see the Web site at www.arlingtondemocrats.org/goldcard.

The Arlington County Democratic Committee will hold its annual Labor Day Chili Cookoff on Monday, Sept. 4 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the Lyon Park Community Center. The event, which serves as an unofficial kickoff to the general-election season, will feature Tom Perriello, who unsuccessfully sought the party’s gubernatorial nomination this year and is now leading a statewide effort to elect Democrats to office.

“It’s a fun, fun event,” said School Board member Tannia Talento, who is one of the chairs of the cookoff. For information, see the Web site at www.arlingtondemocrats.org. Happy Hour to Feature Candidate Northam: The Arlington County Democratic Committee will host a happy-hour gathering featuring gubernatorial nominee Ralph Northam on Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 7:15 p.m. at Pamplona restaurant,

Ticer Recalled for Charm, Support for Children Democrat Was Serving as Alexandria Mayor When Elected to State Senate SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Patsy Ticer, whose political career included four terms in the state Senate representing a district that included portions of South Arlington, died Aug. 7. She was 82. “Grace and charm and civility” were the words used by state Sen. Adam Ebbin (D-30th), who in 2012 succeeded Ticer in the state Senate following her 16 years in office. “It was genuine,” Ebbin said of Ticer’s genteel and thoughtful demeanor. But it also was good politics in dealing with both parties and both houses of the legislature, he said. When Ticer brought one of her bills over from the Senate to present to the House of Delegates, “she would charm the committee,” Ebbin recalled. “People wanted to help.” Ticer, a Democrat, was serving as mayor of Alexandria when in 1995 she defeated incumbent Republican Bob Calhoun to win the 30th District state Senate seat. Although Calhoun was a moderate Republican – “a nice guy who’s done a good job,” Ticer told The Washington Post when the race was over – voters in the district rebelled against the conservative agenda of then-Gov. George Allen to upend Calhoun and give the seat to the Democrats. Ticer won three additional terms, defeating third-party contender Levi Levy in 1999 and facing no opposition in 2003 and 2007. Toward the end of the 2011 General Assembly session, she announced she would not seek re-election. Among the issues Ticer focused on during her 16 years in Richmond: health, education, a social safety net, natural re-

sources and the welfare of animals. During her years in the legislature, “Patsy was a wonderful colleague to work with – dedicated and persistent, always with gentility and good humor,” said former Del. Bob Brink, who currently serves as senior legislative adviser to Gov. McAuliffe. “She was devoted to Alexandria and Northern Virginia, and we will miss her.” Even in retirement, “she was a rock star,” said Alexandria Mayor Allison Silberberg, who described Ticer as her mentor. “Everywhere we went, citizens wanted to come over and speak with her,” Silberberg said in a Facebook post. “Patsy was a remarkably energetic and visionary public servant.” During Ticer’s era as today, the 31st Senate District has included portions of Arlington (mostly the area along and south of Columbia Pike) and areas in Fairfax County, but is centered in Alexandria. Ticer’s retirement after the 2011 legislative session coincided with that of her friend and colleague, Mary Margaret Whipple, who also had served for 16 years. “We were dear friends,” Whipple said, recalling Ticer as “a steadfast supporter of women and children, working on domestic-violence issues and, for example, sponsoring legislation that mandated testing the hearing of newborn babies.” Ticer’s first stint in elected office came when she was elected to the Alexandria City Council in 1982. She was serving as vice mayor in 1991 when then-Mayor Jim Moran won election to Congress; Ticer defeated Republican Ann Stone in a special election for the mayor’s seat later than year, and was re-elected in 1994. The next

year, she won election to the Senate. Ticer ventured to in Richmond in January 1996 to an evolving political landscape. Democrats – who had ruled unquestioned and at times imperiously in the upper house of the legislature for a century – found themselves facing the prospect of Republicans wresting away control. For part of Ticer’s tenure, the GOP held narrow majorities in the 40-seat Senate, but the 2007 election gave Democrats a slight majority that they carried through the subsequent four years, elevating Ticer to chairmanship of the Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Natural Resources Committee. As committee chair, “she was passionate about environmental issues, including land preservation as well as air and water quality,” Whipple said of Ticer. “On a personal level, she was charming and gracious and surely the most beloved elected official in Alexandria,” Whipple

added. Like most legislators, Ticer occasionally tilted at political windmills on issues she was passionate about. For instance: She was a regular patron of legislation calling for Virginia’s adoption of the federal Equal Rights Amendment, long after that once-contentious issue had faded from the public consciousness. A number of current legislators have continued to introduce similar legislation in recent years; even when the measure receives a hearing in the state Senate, it is all but assured it will die in a House of Delegates subcommittee. Patsy Ticer’s entry into Alexandria’s elected politics came after her husband, Jack, had served on the City Council in the 1950s and again in the 1960s. Married for 51 years at the time of Jack Ticer’s death in 2007, the couple had four children: John Jr., Margaret, Catherine and Virginia.

needed for local races, where Democrats are likely to win convincing victories. But it could be crucial at the state level. “If it does turn out to be close . . . this is where we’re going to run up the margin,” Katcher said. (And those margins may be necessary: In 2013, Democrat Mark Herring defeated Republican Mark Obenshain by a scant 900 votes statewide in the race for attorney general. Herring’s margin in Arlington was more than 33,000 votes.) Absentee voting across Virginia begins Sept. 22. Under state law, absentee voting is not an automatic right; residents have to meet one of 20 criteria in order to be

eligible, although Arlington election officials generally have interpreted the rule broadly. For instance: Any person who expects to be out of Arlington, even by one foot for one minute, on Election Day is eligible to vote absentee. Getting residents to vote absentee will also allow the party to spend more time focused on those who have not yet gone to the polls, convincing them to turn out in an off-year election. “We have an enormous amount of energy, but we’ve got to capitalize on it,” Arlington County Democratic Committee chairman Kip Malinosky said. “We cannot waste any time.”

Arlington Democrats Aim to Ramp Up Absentee Voting SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

The Arlington County Democratic Committee is aiming to boost absentee voting about 15 percent from the last gubernatorial-election year, and will target “high-stress voters” who often fail to turn up on Election Day. About 7,000 county residents cast inperson and mail-in absentee votes in 2013, and “we are going to get more than 8,000” in 2017, said Josh Katcher, who is heading up the absentee-voter initiative for county Democrats. Not all those absentee voters will 4

be Democrats, of course, but recent history suggests most – perhaps twothirds – will be. In 2013, Democrat Terry McAuliffe won 79.5 percent of the 7,283 absentee votes cast for governor in Arlington, well above his overall county majority of 71.6 percent. Republican Ken Cuccinelli garnered 16.1 percent among absentee voters, and Libertarian Robert Sarvis picked up 4.1 percent. Boosting turnout probably will not be

Favola, Sullivan Back Wexton in Bid to Unseat Comstock SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

Two Arlington/McLean members of the General Assembly have chosen sides as Democrats POLITICAL work to find a to take POTPOURRI nominee on U.S. Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-10th) next year. State Sen. Barbara Favola (D-31st) and Del. Rip Sullivan (D-48th) have endorsed state Sen. Jennifer Wexton (D-Fairfax/ Loudoun) in her bid for the Democratic nomination. “I believe that Sen. Wexton is best qualified to represent the residents of the 10th Congressional District,” Favola told the Sun Gazette. “She values commonsense approaches to solving problems, and is committed to open and transparent government.” Both Favola and Sullivan occupy legislative districts that straddle the 8th and 10th congressional districts. The 10th District seat long was held by Republican Frank Wolf. Upon his retirement in 2014, Comstock – a former Wolf aide – defeated Democrat John Foust to win the seat. She held off a challenge by Democrat LuAnn Bennett in 2016. A somewhat large and fluid field of prospective Democratic candidates has emerged in recent months, but Wexton appears to be garnering the support of

much of the commonwealth’s political establishment. Favola said that, in the new political environment, voters in the 10th District would be willing to embrace a Democrat in the seat for the first time in 38 years. “Residents in the 10th want a counterpoint to President Trump,” she said. “Sen. Wexton is the real deal. She will not have to play tricks on her constituents like Comstock does because Comstock must appease Trump supporters.” For many years, Arlington was a part of the 10th District, but was shifted to the 8th in the early 1990s. As now configured, the 10th District runs west and southwest from McLean to incorporate portions of Fairfax and Prince William counties and all of Frederick and Loudoun counties, plus the cities of Manassas, Manassas Park and Winchester. In 2016, Democrat Hillary Clinton won the district by a 10-point margin over Republican Donald Trump, but Comstock defeated Bennett by a 6-point margin. Wolf was the only incumbent since the 10th District was re-created in 1953 to leave on his own terms. Republican Joel Broyhill was defeated for re-election in 1974 by Democrat Joseph Fisher, who six years later was defeated by Wolf. House of Delegates Members Featured at Breakfast: Members of the Arlington contingent to the House of Delegates have been invited to speak at the Arling-

ton County Democratic Committee’s monthly Saturday breakfast, to be held on Aug. 12 at 8:30 a.m. at Busboys and Poets. All four delegates – Patrick Hope in the 47th, Rip Sullivan in the 48th, Alfonso Lopez in the 49th and Mark Levine in the 45th – are seeking re-election. Lopez has a Republican challenger; the others are unopposed. (Arlington’s three state Senate seats are not on the ballot again until 2019.) Registration is not required. Those attending are asked to bring cash for a communal check.

Happy Hour to Feature Candidate Northam: The Arlington County Democratic Committee will host a happy-hour gathering featuring gubernatorial nominee Ralph Northam on Wednesday, Aug. 23 at 7:15 p.m. at Pamplona restaurant, 3100 Clarendon Blvd. Candidates for local offices also will be on hand.

Highs & Lows THUMBS UP: To upgrades that will be coming, over the next few months, to facilities serving clients of the Arlington Food Assistance Center. The main distribution facility near Shirlington is being redesigned and reconfigured, inside and out, to make for a more streamlined experience for both clients and staff. The project is expected to be wrapped up sometime around the start of the new year. The economy has its ups and downs, but the issue of hunger is not one that is ever going to completely disappear. Having better facilities for those being served by AFAC is a positive for us all. THUMBS UP: To the news that County Board members will at least consider bringing back their traditional New Year’s Day orga-

Mmmm, we’ll take a wait-and-see attitude on that one. School Board meetings have been dragging on longer, in some cases going past midnight. There has been no single cause, although a plethora of construction projects plus a more robust amount of public participation in recent times may have helped lengthen meeting times. While School Board members have a long way to go before they can be described as (and how to phrase this delicately?) as yappy as their County Board colleagues, WE’RE NOT ENTIRELY SURE they, too, could help move meetWHAT TO MAKE of the news ings along by paying more attenthat School Board meetings, which tion to the clock. nizational meeting, which was scuttled for 2017 at the behest of 2016 County Board Chairman Libby Garvey. The rationale for scrapping the meeting – so county staff could spend the holiday with their families – was specious. And it turned out that, when the organizational meeting was held a few days later than usual, the public and the press tuned it out, something that likely would not have happened had it been held in its traditional spot at the start of the new year. We’re hoping that County Board members admit the change was something of a flop, and return to a tradition that dates back at least 60 years.

Delay on Lubber Run Design Was Appropriate Editor: Thanks for the August 3 “Thumbs Down” on county staff’s effort to shortcircuit its own schedule and rush approval of the design for the Lubber Run Community Center project ahead of a public meeting and commission meetings that had been planned to solicit feedback on the design. County Board members Fisette, Dorsey and Vihstadt offered compelling reasons for insisting that staff stick to its original schedule: • The public and commissions gained time to make relevant comments before the design was approved. • Following the original schedule lends legitimacy to the process and helps to curtail questions about bias or manipulation. • Board member Vihstadt enunciated the best reason: Withholding board approval provided an “incentive” for the architect to listen to the public’s feedback and to make appropriate changes in response. The Lubber Run Community Center site is not a commercial site; it involves sensitive, public parkland and a Chesapeake Bay resource protection area for

Lubber Run, which flows just a stone’s throw from the northwest edge of one wing of the new building. There is a “seasonal high water table” on the site, and groundwater is flowing just 13.5 feet below the surface – a potential technical problem that involves environmental risk. The community greatly appreciates the county’s willingness to build a new community center. But nearby residents and the larger community want to ensure that the design will successfully meet the site’s challenges and will work with nature, rather than against it. Unfortunately, Arlington doesn’t use the integrated design approach, which means including your civil engineers, construction/trade experts and construction-management team from the very beginning of the design process to trouble-shoot on the front end so that you can avoid added costs and delays on the back end. In Arlington’s process, the architect designs the building based on limited data about the site’s conditions, then hands it off to the civil engineer and construction team to “fix” any technical/engineering problems after the fact.

www.insidenova.com

And because the public has no idea what any particular option costs when asked to select design options, ensuring that the project stays on budget falls to the construction-management team (if there is one) – again, after the design has been approved. I’m unaware of anyone who is asking for significant design changes at this point. The community is asking for “tweaks” (as offered by Chair Fisette) that would improve the design’s environmental soundness and prevent an environmental disaster similar to what occurred on the Ashlawn Elementary School site. To date, neither the architect nor staff has shown interest in making even modest adjustments to reduce the environmental impact and risks. Neither is there any room in this design’s budget for the net-zero (solar panels and geothermal system) infrastructure intended to reduce the environmental impact and operating costs, nor is there room for the community’s much-desired elevated indoor jogging track.

With just four weeks left until Arlington Public Schools students return to class, the SCHOOL school district remains on the NOTES hunt for a new crop of teachers. A total of 280 full- and part-time contract positions were unfilled as of Aug. 1, school spokesman Linda Erdos told the Sun Gazette, as the school system continues to process applicants. The number may seem high but generally is on par with the past, as the school system must both replace teachers who have retired or resigned and fill slots necessitated by growth in the student body. Last year, the school system welcomed about 350 new teachers by the time classes began. The 2017-18 school year is slated to start on Sept. 5, at which point the school system will have the chance to see how its enrollment projections track with the actual number of students in seats. Last year, the school system had a total of 26,193 students in pre-kindergarden through 12th grade on the first day of class. That was 886 more students than a year before, but 221 shy of projections, Superintendent Patrick Murphy said then. The first-day-of-school count usually trends upward until the official student count is taken on Sept. 30 of each year. It is then forwarded to the Virginia Department of Education. County school officials expect the recent growth trends to continue, and are planning for enrollment surpassing 30,000 sometime in the 2020s. That will be even higher than Arlington’s student population at the height of the Baby Boom; even so, about eight in 10 county households have no children in the school system, a percentage that is not expected to vary much in coming years. School Board Chair Aims for ‘Fair and Efficient’ Meetings: The chairman of Arlington’s School Board says an earlier start, coupled with more judicious time-management efforts, will combine to streamline board meetings and get everyone home at a reasonable hour. Beginning in September, board meetings will start an hour earlier – at 6:30 p.m. – Barbara Kanninen told members of the Arlington County Democratic Committee. “Hopefully that will work,” she said. During the school year, board members generally meet twice a month. With a large number of issues on their plate – some of them contentious – a number of board meetings have run on past midnight, at which point few on the dais or in the audience seem completely coherent, especially during recent meetings held in

Arlington Notes REPORT ESTIMATES THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE ARTS IN ARLINGTON:

The Nation’s #1 Door & Closet Installation Company Has now arrived in Northern Virginia and We’re Ready to Transform Homes, Each Done In Just One Day!

A recent national study has attempted to quantify the economic impact of the arts in Arlington, suggesting that sector of the economy supports more than 5,100 jobs and generates nearly $14 million in localand state-government revenues. Officials with Arlington Cultural Affairs, a department within the countygovernment’s economic-development office, participated in “Arts & Economic Prosperity 5,” a national survey by Americans for the Arts. Data from nearly 130 Arlington-based cultural organizations – from community-theater troupes to public-broadcasting giant WETA – were analyzed by economists from the Georgia Institute of Technology. The employment and tax-revenue numbers “reflect the breadth and impact of that [arts] ecosystem,” said Michelle Isabelle-Stark, director of Arlington Cultural Affairs. The study suggested that the arts now contribute $7.5 million annually to Arlington government coffers, up from about $4 million when the last study was completed five years ago. “This translates into an economic powerhouse industry for our county and its residents,” said Janet Kopenhaver, chair of Embracing Arlington Arts, an independent advocacy group. A total of 341 communities were studied across the nation, with a combined total of $166 billion in economic activity and 4.6 million full-time-equivalent jobs. PARK SERVICE SEEKS COMMENT ON ROOSEVELT ISLAND PLANS: The

National Park Service is accepting comments through Sept. 8 related to the scope of projected improvements at Theodore Roosevelt Island. The Park Service is considering alterations to trails, viewpoints and landings for non-motorized watercraft, and must conduct the outreach as part of the National Environmental Policy Act and the National Historic Preservation Act. Full details on the history of the project, as well as a link to submit comments, can be found on the Web site at http:// parkplanning.nps.gov/tri_clr_ea. Located in the Potomac River between Virginia and the District of Columbia, the island technically is part of the District of Columbia, but is accessible to pedestrians only via a footbridge from the Rosslyn side of the river. An online open house via Facebook Live will be held on Monday, Aug. 14 at www.facebook.com/NPSGWMP/.

New Year’s Day Meeting Could Stage a Comeback SCOTT McCAFFREY Staff Writer

It had been a tradition dating back decades that was somewhat unceremoniously dumped COUNTY by Arlington County Board NOTES members this year. But could the board’s New Year’s Day organizational meeting be headed for a comeback in 2018? The answer remains something of a work in progress, according to the next year’s likely board chairman. “I honestly have not thought about it – [but] it absolutely will be discussed,” County Board Vice Chairman Katie Cristol said of resurrecting the Jan. 1 board meeting, which had been a staple of civic life since at least the 1950s and perhaps as far back as the establishment of Arlington’s current form of government in the early 1930s. The gathering, held at 11 a.m. on New Year’s Day, involved few matters of substance other than a handover of the board chairmanship from one member to another and speeches by all five board members. But it had become a civic tradition for many – many of whom were unhappy when a divided County Board opted to scrap the meeting for 2017. The decision given at the time by 2016 County Board Chairman Libby Garvey was that having a meeting on New Year’s Day (or Jan. 2, if Jan. 1 fell on a Sunday) was too taxing on county staff. But 2017’s delayed organizational meeting, held in the evening several days later, drew a far smaller attendance than in previous years, and also drew far less media attention than when the Arlington government had met on New Year’s Day. In late 2016, Garvey said the elimination of the New Year’s Day meeting was a one-time test to see how things went. It was implemented with some dissent, including from incoming County Board Chairman Jay Fisette, who said he felt the Jan. 1 meetings were important civic occasions that should be retained. Cristol is likely to be elevated to board chairman in 2018, but told the Sun Gazette that any decision on when to hold the organizational meeting will be made by the board as a whole. For those without calendars at the ready, Jan. 1 falls on a Monday in 2018. And whenever the organizational meeting is held, it will be the first in 20 years without Fisette, who is retiring later this year. Energy Initiative Wins Statewide Award: The Virginia Association of Counties has honored an Arlington energy initiative with a 2017 Achievement Award. The county government’s “Energy Lending Library” program, launched in 2016, allows residents to borrow energyefficiency tools from local libraries, and

provides information related to energy efficiency. Among tools available: a thermal camera, sampler kit of LED lightbulbs, energy meter and books providing details on do-it-yourself energy retrofits. The program operates under the umbrella of the Arlington Initiative to Rethink Energy. County Board Makes Advisory Appointments: County Board members recently made the following appointments to county-government boards and commissions: Kate Bates and Lyndsey DePalma were reappointed to the Economic Development Commission. Erin Walsh was reappointed to the Emergency Preparedness Advisory Commission. Connie Phlipot and Minneh Kane were appointed and Tenley Peterson was reappointed to the Fiscal Affairs Advisory Commission. Willis Braswell Jr., Francesca Guerrero, Edward Hilz, Dwight Hlustick, Tracie Greenway Morris and Kevin Sweeney were reappointed to the Neighborhood Complete Streets Committee. Kirubel Fessesework was appointed to the Park and Recreation Commission. Hans Bauman was appointed to the Public Facilities Review Committee. Kellen MacBeth was appointed to the Tenant-Landlord Commission.

Couples Are Raving Over New Sex Cream Find out why couples across the country are raving about a new invention called Sensum

Meet the Doctor that’s fixing sexual problems in whole new way. Specialist, Dr. James L. Yeager’s new cream triples men’s penile sensitivity while stimulating their partner like nothing we’ve seen before. By Steven Wuzubia Health Correspondent Clearwater, Florida – If you are a man, over the age of 40, who struggles with achieving and maintaining a firm erection or has difficulty reaching climax - then you may be in luck! For a limited time, a breakthrough new invention is being made available to a lucky few who want to experience what’s it’s like to have double, even triple the penile sensitivity. Meet Specialist, Dr. James L. Yeager. He is changing sexual medicine as we know it.

AMERICA’S “SEX DOCTOR” TO THE RESCUE According to Dr. Yeager, you may suffer from Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS). This can cause loss of conﬁdence, frustration, even depression and anxiety. “Many men do not feel comfortable telling even their doctor about trouble with erections, and a lack of feeling and pleasure during intercourse.” After all, the formula for great sex is simple... The more penile feeling you have, the more aroused you get, which provokes a ﬁrm and lasting erection and a full and satisfying orgasm whenever you want. Bottom line: if you don’t have enough “feeling” in your penis, it’s impossible to get an erection. You’re not alone. Reduced Penile Sensitivity (RPS) is estimated to strike over 500 million men on a worldwide basis. The condition is commonly associated with aging, diabetes, circumcision, certain surgeries and prescription drugs. ED pills like Viagra, Cialis and natural pills work for many, but men with RPS often end up taking more

than directed in the hope of increasing their penile sensitivity, and even then they don’t work well enough. Let’s face it. The inability or long wait to reach orgasm is bad enough. But failure to achieve a ﬁrm erection is devastating! It’s one of the leading causes of relationship problems. And avoiding sex often leads to failed marriage. It’s a horrible problem.

RESTORE SENSITIVITY, ENJOY SEX AGAIN Dr. James Yeager saw ﬁrsthand the suffering of his patients. “It’s not their fault. They’ve done nothing wrong. And they are not any less of a man.” Yet he wondered why modern medicine was failing in its mission to provide these men lasting relief. As a result, he spent long sleepless nights locked up in his lab ... researching every study he could get his hands on regarding penis sensitivity and came up with a cream that changed sexual medicine as we know it. His biggest discovery? A supernutrient called Cinnamaldehyde. This special ingredient activates the TRPA1 receptor (IC50= 9.5μM) in your body. It increases the reaction of sensory neurons to stimuli such as warmth, cold and touch. This activation results in more sensitivity of the penis and a more pleasurable sensation. Dr. Yeager made this super-nutrient the core of a revolutionary new cream called SENSUM+® which promises to give you what no pill can... incredible, long- lasting sensation, even from the slightest touch.

“Like Teenagers Again!” “This has caused our sex life to be like we are teenagers again! My wife and I are both much happier and more satisﬁed. A real life-changer! I am so glad for Dr. Yeager’s invention to ﬁx this problem without dangerous prescription drugs.”

- Robert H., West Palm Beach,

HOW IT WORKS SENSUM+® is a blend of essential oils and natural botanicals that can double, even triple your overall penile sensitivity. It’s like removing your leather gloves --

and feeling your lover with your bare ﬁngers again! So even men who’ve had little feeling in their penis are suddenly able to exercise sexual power over women again. Without worry... anxiety... or a second of doubt. The word is getting out. “Even men without E.D. problems are buying up more than we can produce”, says Dr. Yeager.

CLINICALLY PROVEN

Dr. Yeager’s SENSUM+® triples sexual satisfaction for

men by increasing “penile sensitivity”

The clinically-proven nutrients in SENSUM+® help you get and keep a hard erection very easily, and also let you climax when you want to. For example, Joe Romas, 52, from Oakland, was frustrated he had little penile sensation during sex. This made it take too long to ejaculate. He had nearly given up until he discovered SENSUM+® cream. Within one week of starting he reported, “I now have my old feeling and pleasure back. Sex is fun again and feels great. My wife and I are much happier now.” 100

The sooner you start using this cream, the sooner you can have more feeling in your penis again to get and keep a hard erection and enjoy sex more than ever. SENSUM+® is NOT sold in stores. No prescription or doctor visit is required. Your product will be delivered discretely in a plain unmarked package so your privacy and conﬁdentiality is assured.

And what’s more is that their partners enjoyed sex so much more when they used the cream - nearly 300% increase in sexual satisfaction. Couples are raving.

Arlington Jobless Rate Is Still Lowest in Commonwealth Arlington’s jobless rate declined slightly from May to June, as the county retained its longstanding position with the best employment picture in the commonwealth. With 147,841 county residents employed in the civilian workforce and 3,899 looking for work, Arlington’s unemployment rate of 2.6 percent in June was down from 2.7 percent in May, according to non-seasonally-adjusted figures reported Aug. 2 by the Virginia Employment Commission. Some Northern Virginia localities posted slightly lower joblessness from May to June, while others saw increases, according to the state figures. Jobless rates declined from 3 percent to 2.9 percent in Alexandria but rose from 2.8 percent to 2.9 percent in Falls Church. Fairfax County’s unemployment rate rose from 3.1 percent to 3.2 percent, while Loudoun County’s held steady at 3.2 percent. Prince William’s jobless rate of 3.5 percent was unchanged.

million in the civilian workforce and 53,700 looking for work. Statewide, the jobless rate of 3.9 percent was up a tick from a month before, but remained below the national rate of 4.5 percent. Across Virginia, household employment expanded for the 30th consecutive month in June to a new record high. Statewide, the largest job gains in June were found in the leisure/hospitality sector, while the trade/transportation segment also posted an increase. The professional-and-business-services segment of the market saw a decline, as did the manufacturing sector. While the number of state residents employed by the federal government rose, those employed by the state government and localities declined. Among Virginia’s 133 counties and cities, the lowest jobless rates were turned in by Arlington, Alexandria, Falls Church, Bath County (3 percent) and, tied for fifth at 3.1 percent, the city of Fairfax and Madison County.

D.C. Region Down the List on Potential Home-Flipping Investors who “flip” houses – purchase lower-cost properties, spiff them up and sell them off – garnered an average gross profit of nearly $63,000 per transaction in 2016. But how well they did depended on their savvy and where they did the flipping. That’s according to Wallethub.com, which looked at 22 metrics to rank 150 localities on their suitability for flippers. Not surprisingly, lower-cost locales performed better, in part because of an availability of properties, while communities that were higher in cost or had ongoing economic problems finished down the list. The best localities overall turned out to be El Paso, Texas; Sioux Falls, S.D.; Fort Wayne Ind.; Peoria (Ariz., not Iowa); and Oklahoma City. Not at the top but worthy of notice: Pittsburgh scored tops in terms of return on investment (130 percent, compared to just 22 percent for San Jose, Calif.) At the bottom of the ranking were Oakland; Yonkers, N.Y.; Newark; San Francisco; and Los Angeles. Washington came in 101th, about two-thirds down the list. Interested in getting into the homeflipping game? Don’t make the mistake of “assuming you’re going to get rich quick,” said Ryan Yeung, assistant professor of urban policy and planning at the City University of New York. “Flipping houses requires patience and money. It takes time and skill to renovate a house. It takes time and money to find the right contractor. It takes time and money to get the best possible price for the house,” he said. What personality types do best? “Extremely disciplined investors will do very well,” said Ryan Dietz, managing director of the Florida State University College of Business Real Estate Center. “A desire to learn new skills is also critical.” Robert Kent, chair of the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at California State University Northridge, says the adage “location, location, location” applies to flippers, too. “You can fix the house, buy you can’t change the neighborhood,” he said. “One of the most frequent mistakes . . . is a lack of detailed knowledge about the neighborhood, and the current dynamics of its social environment and housing market.”

Va. Home Sales Still Rising

An increase in home sales and average sales prices in Virginia’s real estate market pushed the year-over-year sales volume up 20 percent to more than $13 billion in the second quarter of the year, according to new figures. “Buyer motivation remains very high, and the relatively low financing rates offer great opportunity for market entry,” said Claire Forcier-Rowe, president of Virginia Realtors, as the trade association on July 25 detailed quarterly sales data. A total of 37,201 residential properties went to closing in April, May and June, up 5.3 percent from the sales in the same period in 2016, with all but one of the geographic areas of the commonwealth seeing year-over-year increases. Among the various reporting areas, sales for the quarter totaled 14,614 in Northern Virginia, up 5.1 percent; 8,104 in central Virginia, up 8.2 percent; 7,906 in Hampton Roads, up 3.3 percent; 2,903 in west-central Virginia, up 7 percent; 1,819 in the Shenandoah Valley, up 3.3 percent; 652 in eastern Virginia, up 4.8 percent; 637 in Southside Virginia, down 1.2 percent; and 560 in southwestern Virginia, up 3.2 percent. Year-over-year sales were up in all three months of the quarter, totaling 10,567 in April, 12,604 in May and 14,030 in June. Historically, June tends to be the peak month for the Virginia real estate market, with sales cooling in the second half of the year.

(Sales for the quarter were up 29 percent from 2014, which has been designated a benchmark that marks the beginning of the market’s post-recession recovery.) The median sales price for all residential homes that went to closing in the second quarter was $288,000, an increase of 2.3 percent from a year before and up 4.7 percent from two years ago. “Year-over-year, second-quarter home sales increased in all price bands except the lowest [up to $100,000 and $100,000 to $200,000], where limited inventory typically restricts market activity,” the Realtors said in an analysis accompanying the data. “Luxury sales, above $700,000, increased by the greatest percentages.” Add up the sales and prices, and the total quarterly volume of $13.09 billion was up from just under $12 billion a year before. Total sales volume for the first half of the year stood at $20.48 billion, up 10.7 percent from the same period in 2016. Homes that went to closing during the second quarter spent an average of 54 days between listing and ratified sales contract, down from 63 days a year before and the most brisk quarterly pace in years. Prospective homeowners benefited from mortgage-interest rates that declined from the first to second quarter, although they remain above 2016 figures. The average interest rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage during the quarter was 3.99 percent, according to Freddie Mac.

Visitors are greeted at the front door by lovely bronze gates that feature the leaves of the White Oaks that dot the neighborhood. Entering into the large front hall, you are greeted with a spacious living room and office with custom built-ins that could be used as a main level bedroom.

‘Hair’ Proves a Pleasing Brush with 1960s Nostalgia BRIAN TROMPETER Staff Writer

Vienna Youth Players’ “Hair: The Tribal Rock Musical” is burdened by outdated references, but features plenty of spunk and good voON cals from its cast. With a book and STAGE lyrics by James Rado and Gerome Ragni and music by Galt MacDermot, “Hair” explores the antics and angst of a tribe of anti-war activists in New York City in the mid-1960s. Neil Going anchors the play as Claude, the group’s morally conflicted leader. Claude rebels against his parents in “I Got Life” and feigns at burning his draft card. But he is fit for military service and soon will be fighting for his life in Vietnam. Fellow hippie Berger (Luke Hemmingson) is one of the main anti-establishment ringleaders, and he pressures Claude to defy the draft. Tribe members expound on race relations, drug usage, the quagmire in Vietnam and the blossoming sexual revolution. An example of the latter is Woof (Ryaan Farhadi), who wears a chest-baring white vest and moons over a poster of Mick Jagger. Some of the play’s dialogue is clever, such as observations by Margaret Mead (Luke Jackins) in “My Conviction.” The musical’s score is legendary. Everyone can sing or hum along to “Aquar-

ius” and “Good Morning Starshine.” The finale (minus the nudity, given the cast of minors) features the soaring “Let the Sun Shine In.” As political activist Sheila, Orejuela brings fine vocals to some of the play’s most famous songs, including “Easy to Be Hard” (with help from Colbert) and “Good Morning Starshine.” Director Babs Dyer makes good use of the large cast, and musical director Kathy Splitt coordinates the all-important score. Choreographers Heather Colbert, Caroline Orejuela, Neal Going and Jack Herrin capably put the cast through some intricate maneuvers in numbers such as “Hare Krishna.” The dialogue sometimes seems forced, but that’s because the actors were born three decades after the play came out in 1967 and likely cannot identify with the wild hippie culture being presented or its causes. “Social-justice warriors” are the closest thing the country has to hippies now. Depending on one’s perspective, they either are the next generation of forwardthinking protesters who are reshaping society for the better, or are insufferably smug, self-righteous snowflakes who are insulated from life’s realities. Still, “Hair” is an interesting snapshot of life from a far different era. $319,000 The set’sN ARLINGTON/WOODBURY art, designedHEIGHTS by Sherry Weipert, is lovely and trippy, with a peace symbol flanked by rainbow-bright psy-

It was always a good day or night to have seen or spent any time with Harvey, who always had a welcoming smile and kind words as greetings. Sadly, that won’t happen anymore. Harvey, a 1952 Washington-Lee High School graduate, died July 27 at his home. He was 84 and had not been in ill health. For more than 30 years, Harvey was involved with McLean High School sports in various manners. He and his wife of 59 years, Jane, sent three children to the school. They played different sports, with Harvey becoming a regular fixture at athletic events. Jane worked in the school’s guidance office for a period. During the indoor winter months, Harvey helped out as the official scorekeeper for McLean’s girls and boys varsity basketball teams. During the outdoor fall campaign, he was a member of the sideline chain crew for McLean’s varsity home football games. Spending time chatting it up with Harvey along the sideline and watching him work the chains often brought more enjoyment than the action on the field. Rusty Payne was an athlete at McLean and became a close friend of Harvey’s. Payne now announces home football games and heads the school’s athletic Hall of Fame. Payne estimates that Harvey worked more than 1,000 athletic events at McLean, from his scorekeeping and chain-gang duties, to serving at the concessions stand or whatever else was needed. Harvey also was involved throughout the McLean community with various organizations. “We are heartbroken,” Payne said. “Warren Harvey was such a great person that we all enjoyed knowing. He was such a big part of McLean.” Harvey was inducted into McLean High’s Athletic Hall of Fame in 2011.

Heckler won 15 faceoffs for Roanoke and was credited with gathering a half dozen ground balls during the spring campaign.

Police Beat ROBBERY: n On July 30 at 11:49 p.m., police responded to the 2100 block of Clarendon Boulevard for a late report of a robbery. According to police, a suspect ap-

proached the victim, asked for money, then assaulted him when the victim refused. The suspect is described as a black male, 30 to 40 years old.

n On July 31 at 11:27 p.m., a man was walking in the 4800 block of Columbia Pike when he was assaulted by two men, who stole his cell phone. The suspects fled prior to the arrival

of police. They are described as Hispanic males, in their 20s. The victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of what were described as minor injuries.

home at a reasonable hour. Beginning in September, board meetings will start an hour earlier – at 6:30 p.m. – Barbara Kanninen told members of the Arlington County Democratic Committee. “Hopefully that will work,” she said. During the school year, board members generally meet twice a month. With a large number of issues on their plate – some of them contentious – a number of board meetings have run on past midnight, at which point few on the dais or in the audience seem completely coherent, especially during recent meetings held in warm weather, when the building’s aging HVAC system couldn’t keep up with heat creeping in. Without criticizing any of her predecessors on the subject, Kanninen, who rotat-

ed in as board chair in July, suggested she would be keeping an eye on the clock. “School Board meetings should be efficient,” she told the Sun Gazette. “I take my role seriously, to moderate and keep things moving. My goal is to be fair and efficient.” The School Board isn’t the only Arlington civic institution to move up its start date in an effort to get out at a reasonable hour. The Arlington County Civic Federation last year began holding its monthly meetings at 7 p.m. rather than 7:30 p.m. for much the same purpose. Not only will School Board members have a new starting time, but come next year they’ll have a new venue, as well. The school system’s central-office staff is vacating the Arlington Education Center build-

ing, which will be turned into a mid-sized high school, and moving to rented space in the Sequoia office complex on Washington Boulevard near Penrose. Kanninen said the new School Board space is likely to be ready for occupancy in the spring.

come.” “He is a role model,” Shank said of Ryerson, who has served on the university faculty since 1982. “He will be greatly missed as dean, but the students he will serve in the classroom will continue to benefit from his continued presence at Marymount.”

Ryerson’s successor as dean of the School of Business Administration is Marianne Ward-Peradoza. “I kind of view myself as our linkage to the past, and she’s going to be our bridge to the future,” Ryerson said. “I’m excited about everything she’ll do with us and for us.”
