The Connection

The average Arlingtonian mightnot know who owns the streets.The side streets are maintainedby the county, most of the ma-

jor routes are managed by the state, but aslong as they are kept in working conditionit doesn’t really matter. But behind thescenes, if Arlington is able to acquire oneof the main arterial roads through Arling-ton, it could be the beginning of new trans-portation and planning efforts in the heartof the county.

On July 18, the County Board unani-mously voted to move forward with efforts

to have the state transfer ownership of StateRoute 237, Fairfax Drive and 10th StreetNorth, to the county. This stretch of roadruns through the center of Arlington’s Metrocorridor, from Ballston to Courthouse. TheCommonwealth had expressed support forthe county’s plans in a letter back in March,but the approval by the County Board marksthe first step in a series of reviews beforethe transfer is finalized.

“The average person driving, biking, orwalking, or taking a bus might not noticemuch of a difference,” said Sarah Crawford,from Arlington’s Transportation Division.“The improvements that happen are thingsthey would have seen anyway, but maybesee it happen a year faster with less red

tape.”Crawford said the change will allow Ar-

lington County to be more flexible with re-development that happens along FairfaxDrive. Currently, businesses seeking to re-develop property along Fairfax Drive mustnot only seek transportation plan approvalfrom the County Board but must also workthrough the Virginia Department of Trans-portation (VDOT). According to Crawford,Arlington’s acquisition of the street wouldhelp streamline the process for businesses.

At the board meeting, County Boardmember John Vihstadt noted that this isn’tthe first time the county has acquired amajor street from the state. Nearly a de-cade ago, the county assumed responsibil-

ity of Columbia Pike as the first step towardsstreetcar plans that would ultimately bestopped in their tracks. But the transfer alsoallowed the County Board to push forwardother transportation initiatives along Co-lumbia Pike over the years, including lefthand turn lanes and greater pedestrian ac-cessibility.

Currently, Crawford said no such plansexist for Fairfax Drive, but Crawford saidcounty ownership of the street would al-low examination of those possibilities in thefuture. Vihstadt asked whether county staffhad considered a similar acquisition for LeeHighway, but Crawford said the intense

The Lubber Run Commu-nity Center can expand intwo ways: up or out. The

neighborhood surrounding the60-year-old building has ex-pressed nearly unanimous sup-port for the building’s replace-ment, but at the County Board

meeting on July 18, there was dis-agreement over which direction totake it.

The current plans call for a newcommunity center that expandsoutwards, with the two new wingsof the building expanding intogreen space at the edge of the sur-rounding park. Much of that spacewill eventually be reutilized asgreen space built over the under-ground parking garage, but neigh-bors came to the County Boardmeeting expressing hopes that the

Opinion

By Frank Davies

Sam Avery, in his 60s, didn’t realize hewas part of a national movement of-ten called “aging in place.” The NorthArlington resident, whose health is-

sues forced him to use a wheelchair, justwanted to be able to stay in his small home.

He was able to achieve that with the help ofRebuilding Together, whose volunteers repairand improve existing homes, and Sun Design,a local architectural design and remodeling

firm looking for more ways tocontribute to the community.

In April, volunteers installeda ramp to Avery’s front doorand made other repairs that

improved the safety of his home and made hislife more independent. “I’m able to get out ofmy house daily now,” he said. “This has reallyimproved the quality of my life.”

National surveys by AARP show that olderadults want to stay in their homes as long aspossible. But that often requires modificationssuch as grab bars, double railings on stairs,better lighting or major work to make a homewheelchair-accessible.

“What we’re seeing in Northern Virginia isthat people don’t want to move from the area,”said Bob Gallagher, a Sun Design owner. He isdoing more work on homes so that older adultsdon’t have to move, and making modificationsto the houses of younger residents so a nearbyparent can move in.

Rebuilding Together Arlington/Fairfax/FallsChurch (RT-AFF) has years of experience inrehabilitating homes for low-income, often eld-erly, residents. Gallagher said it was “good towork with Rebuilding Together — that allowedus to get a lot further than on our own.”

Rebuilding Together also works with largenational organizations like AARP and localgroups such as the Arlington NeighborhoodVillage, which offers support services — ridesto an appointment, simple home repairs, or justa weekly visit for companionship — so elderlyresidents can stay independent.

“Transportation is the biggest request wehave,” said Anita Wallgren, president of theNeighborhood Village. The organization doesnot do major house projects, but she said someof their members might qualify for RebuildingTogether help.

If you are an Arlington resident looking foradvice on modifications, a couple of resourcesare helpful. AARP’s 25-page HomeFit Guideincludes a detailed room-by-room checklist ofwhat to look for and what may need to be im-proved (aarp.org/livable-communities/info-2014/aarp-home-fit-guide).

“The biggest concern people have is howmuch will it cost,” said Jane King, a commu-nity activist in Alexandria who gives HomeFitpresentations. The guide categorizes someimprovements as do-it-yourself (make surecarpeting on stairs is firmly attached) and oth-ers as don’t-do-it-yourself (mounting grab barsin the bathroom).

The guide “helps residents determine if theyare in the right place,” said King. Major

changes, such as widening doorways, are ex-pensive, and some older people may decidemoving to a one-story house or condo makessense after a cost-benefit analysis.

Rebuilding Together has a one-page check-list of ways to make sure you have a healthy,safe home at rebuildingtogether-aff.org under“Events, News and Tips.” One suggestion: Oldcarpeting, which collects mildew, mold and petdander, can also lead to falls, so replace it withtile or laminate.

RT-AFF works on homes year-round and al-ways welcomes new volunteers. To become avolunteer, make a donation, or to apply forhelp, call Rebuilding Together Arlington/Fairfax/Falls Church at 703-528-1999 or sendan email to [email protected].

Homeowners looking for help can apply atany time of the year. Priority is given to theelderly, disabled and families with children.

August approaches and many headout for sun drenched vacations witha skin-baring wardrobe. This much

anticipated time of year doesn’t come with-out danger, primarily in the form of sun-burn which can lead to skin damage, skincancer, wrinkles and dark spots. Skincaregurus offer suggestions for protecting skinwithout sacrificing time outside.

“Sunscreen is the best protection from thesun,” said Cheryl A. Oetjen, DNP, FNP-BC,assistant professorof nursing at GeorgeMason University.“This can be fromlotions that are SPF30 or higher or froms k i n - p r o t e c t i v eclothing. Wearing ahat can also protectyour face to some degree. Sunglasses shouldalso be worn.”

To maximize the effectiveness of sun-

screen, Oetjen advises being aware of someof the most commonly made applicationmistakes. “Ideally sunscreen should be ap-plied 30 minutes prior to sun exposure,” shesaid. “This gives it time to soak into the skin.Avoiding the water for this time is also im-portant.”

Avoid the sun between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.when it’s most intense and use at least oneounce of sunscreen per application, saysOetjen. “The important part of applying sun-screen is ensuring that you are usingenough,” she said. “Fair complexions, red

hair and blonde hairoften are indicatorsof a higher risk ofsunburn, so it’s im-portant to reapplyoften.”

Make sunscreenpart of one’s dailyskincare regimen,

advises Colleen Sanders, RN, FNP,Marymount University in Arlington. “Therecommendation is that you wear sunscreen

every day if you’re going to be outside evenfor a short period of time,” she said. “Itshould be part of your everyday routine.”

Relying solely on the SPF found in somecosmetics like foundation or powder is un-wise, says dermatologist Dr. Lisa Bronstein.“Makeup doesn’t necessarily provide theprotection that it claims to provide,” shesaid. “There are a lot of tinted sunscreensout now that match a variety of skin tonesand also give amazing protection from sundamage.”

“Wearing sunglasses with UVA and UVBprotection as well as a hat will help pre-vent damage, says Sanders. “Common ar-eas that people often forget to cover, andwhere we often find skin cancer, are the tops

of ears and the backs of their hands,” shesaid “These are places where people forgetto put sunscreen.”

“Make sure the most sensitive areas arecovered … these areas include the top ofthe ears, lips [and] the nose, added Oetjen.“Zinc oxide can be applied to sensitive ar-eas.”

Infants who are younger than six monthsold should have limited exposure to the sun,says Oetjen.

“The FDA has not approved a sunscreenfor infants under 6 months so it is best forthem to stay in the shade and wear sun pro-tective clothing and hat,” she said. “The skinof infants is thinner and more sensitive tothe sun and sunscreen.”

The Arlington Partnership for Afford-able Housing (APAH) broke groundThursday, July 27 on its newest

project, Gilliam Place, which will be locatedat 3507 Columbia Pike. Gilliam Place ema-nated from Arlington Presbyterian Church’s(APC) vision to put their faith into actionand property into mission service. GilliamPlace will provide 173 new committed af-fordable homes for lower income individu-als and families. Nearly 9,000 square feetof civic/retail space will be added with amix of non-profit tenants.

More than 80 people gathered for thecommunity-based ceremony. John Milliken,chairman of APAH’s board of directors said,“I can’t emphasize enough how much im-portance to attach to the word ‘partnership’in APAH’s name. We could not have a suc-cessful project without you all. APAH isproud to be Arlington County’s partner inaffordable housing development and proudto be a part of a community with a sharedvision of diversity and inclusion that makesit a very special place to live.”

Gilliam Place will be APAH’s most com-plex project to date, with a total project costof $71 million and more than nine fundingsources. The Virginia Housing DevelopmentAuthority (VHDA) awarded APAH $31 mil-lion in tax credits through its annual com-petitive process and is providing both long-term and construction financing.

David Bowers, vice president of EnterpriseCommunity Partners, recounted the originsof his organization’s faith-based initiativewhich has partnered with faith communi-ties to create 515 affordable homes andsupport 1,200 more in the developmentpipeline. He expressed his gratitude for Ar-lington Presbyterian Church and APAH onthe long-journey to Gilliam Place.

Susan Etherton, chair of APC’s MovingForward Team, joined in the celebrationexpressing “deep gratitude for our faithfulpartners, the Arlington Partnership for Af-fordable Housing, and more broadly to ourArlington community partners includingArlington County for journeying alongsideus to bring this vision to life. As we cer-emoniously break this ground, we will behonoring those who took risks, who not onlybroke new ground, but broke the rules, likeRonda Gilliam, our first African Americanmember and founder of a clothing dona-tion program in the early 1960s.

community organizer, asked the audience,“so what does it look like to be a churchwithout a building?” In response, Westonannounced that the church has purchasedback from APAH two plots of land to de-velop a green space that will be “a sanctu-ary, an oasis, a place of meditation forpeople to calm their hearts and find theircenter once again. For us at APC, we seethis as our new front porch where peoplewill come to meet us and see who we are.”

Gilliam Place was designed by KGD Ar-chitects and Donohoe Construction Com-pany is the general contractor. The prop-

erty is expected to open to residents in late2019.

And speaking, a few weeks late, of my“whirled,” (see July 5, 2017 column, “Not anAuto-Matic Fix); at least as it relates to mynext week or so: 24-hour urine collection onTuesday, pre-chemotherapy lab work onWednesday, in the Connection office onThursday, chemotherapy infusion on Friday,continuing anxiety concerning the previousWednesday’s CT Scan/awaiting results frommy oncologist followed by our usual post-scanappointment with him Friday a week later todiscuss my future: status quo or the greatunknown; coinciding with the typical eatingchallenges/post-chemo side effect which lastsa week to 10 days after treatment. If this cycleof gloom doesn’t sound like fun, you’re right,but it’s a living/my life and I’m extraordinarily(I didn’t want to say “damn”) lucky to be ableto live it.

And recently having spoken to a new stageIV, non-small cell lung cancer “diagnosee,”who’s on a 24-hour morphine drip andPercocet every four hours because he’s inconstant pain, I know how amazingly fortu-nate I am/have been since being originallydiagnosed in late February, 2009. Sure, I’vehad my share of pain and discomfort, but inthe medical-measuring system I’d give it a “1.”Hardly the stuff with which nightmares aremade (see column in a few weeks, as yetuntitled).

I’ve always been a great believer in con-text. Not so much comparison because whatyou see and what you get are not necessarilyrelevant, comparatively speaking, but morethat the circumstances are all relative. It takesme back to Popeye the Sailor Man, whoapologizing to no one, always said: “I ‘yamwhat I ‘yam.” And so am I. When I see othercancer patients at the Infusion Center, when Italk to cancer survivors, when I hear or read ofother cancer patient circumstances, I try tolive and learn, not take it personally, andcount my blessings. Given the hand that I wasdealt back on Feb. 27, 2009 I wouldn’t say“Wild” Bill Hickok (and his black aces andblack eights) came to mind, but my life,according to the “11 month to two-year”prognosis I was given, certainly passed beforeme – and much sooner than I had anticipated.

In spite of my diagnosis/prognosis, and themiscellaneous ups and downs that I and mostcancer patients endure, I’ve never given in tomy oncologist’s initial assessment. It was sounbelievable hearing such grim news, espe-cially considering that I was age 54 and a half,that it almost seemed like an out-of-bodyexperience, sort of like Scrooge in CharlesDickens “novella, “A Christmas Carol.” Surewe were listening attentively and asked ourshare of questions, but it didn’t seem real oreven about me, sort of. I mean at this junc-ture, I had no pain and no symptoms and nofamily history of cancer – and I was a life-longnon-smoker. Yet here I was, in the bulls eye ofa dreaded disease with no known cure receiv-ing a modest life expectancy/two percentchance of living beyond five years.

But eight years and five months later, here Isit, breathe and try to write some wrongsabout a life mostly unexpected, and one inwhich I haven’t sweated too many details norconcerned myself with the “nattering nabobsof negativism,” to quote former VicePresident, Spiro T. Agnew, specifically as itrelates to lung cancer outcomes. Which aredramatically improving.

New drug approvals and increased fundingfor lung cancer research has infused hope intolung cancer patient’s lives. Routines withwhich us lung cancer patients/survivors havebecome accustomed will be less routine andwill make our lives more fulfilling. It might notbe perfect, but it’s definitely a life worth liv-ing.

amount of development planned and al-ready being implemented along FairfaxDrive made it uniquely suited for acquisi-tion in a way Lee Highway currently is not.

The acquisition would also mean main-tenance of the street would be Arlington’sresponsibility as well, which puts an addi-tional cost on the county. Crawford said nodefinite cost projection has been done. Ar-lington County receives $18,500 per lanemile from the state for road maintenance,but the county spends up to $10,000 moreper mile than the state reimburses. Accord-ing to the staff report, this means the newacquisition could cost the county $60,000to $70,000 in additional net tax support.More precise projections will be establishedas part of the FY 2019 budget.

“I am very supportive of this,” said CountyBoard chair Jay Fisette. “I think people un-derestimate the burden. We have a greatworking relationship with VDOT… [but] ittakes a lot more work and a lot more stafftime.”

This fall, county staff and VDOT will re-view and negotiate the terms for the trans-fer.

county might be able to leave the parkspace undisturbed and save the park’s ex-isting tree canopy.

But concerns about the public engage-ment overshadowed the discussion of theactual community center itself. Joel Yudken,vice president of the Arlington Forest Citi-zens Association, was one of several localresidents who expressed support for thenew building but dismay at the limited win-dow for public feedback. Yudken said thedesign was initially presented to the com-munity on May 17, and that avenues forfeedback focused on details for the interiorrather than big picture elements like thecommunity center’s impact on the local parkspace. Later, Yudken said July 19 was postedby Arlington County staff as the publicmeeting opportunity for the community toexpress concerns about the site, but the ac-tual vote for approval of the site was sched-uled for a day earlier. County Manager MarkSchwartz started the discussion about thecommunity center with an apology to theneighborhood for confusion and anxietycaused by miscommunications from countystaff.

In response, the County Board voted 3-2to approve a contract with James G. DavisConstruction Corporation to replace thecommunity center, but deferred endorse-ment of the final concept design for the fa-cility until September to allow for greatercommunity feedback. County Board mem-bers Katie Cristol and Libby Garvey ex-pressed support for approval of the contractbut not for deferment of the final conceptdesign.
