She says the six-member team spends as much time together as with their families andbecome close to each other. Each firefighter has his/her own room andbathroom, and the firehouse has a gym so they can stay fit. It also has afull kitchen with three refrigerators, one for each shift. Desai said, “It’snice after a long day to have a good meal and some really have a reputa-tion as a good cook.” The firefighters have designed and constructed theirkitchen eating table with fire hydrants as legs.

Stephanie Desai demonstrates howa firefighter grabs onto the brassfire pole and slides two storiesdown to the bottom floor when analarm goes off in Fire Station #3on Old Dominion Drive. The seg-mented floor opens when there isenough weight on it, and Desai isoff and gone. The trip has to befast since a firefighter must bedressed in the protective equip-ment and on the fire truck ready toleave within 60 seconds of hearingthe alarm bell.

The Connection

While the nation chooses be-tween two Presidential can-didates of extreme political

and temperamental differences, votersin Virginia’s 8th District face a differentkind of decision. As Democratic U.S. Rep.Don Beyer runs for reelection, he facesopposition from an un-Trump-like Re-publican candidate.

Republican candidate Charles Hernick

meets at Commonwealth Joe’s, a coffeeshop in Pentagon City so new it hasn’t evenhad its official opening. It’s populated al-most exclusively by millennials, and Hernickfits right in. When asked about the politicalissues that matter to them, the students andbaristas at Commonwealth Joe’s all answerthat climate change and combating studentdebt are their key voting issues. It’s a lib-eral atmosphere, but that doesn’t stopHernick from trying to win them over.

Hernick represents a new kind of Repub-lican opponent for Beyer. Hernick was 8

years old when Beyer was elected lieuten-ant governor of Virginia. Like many youngervoters in the district, Hernick moved to thearea to work in consulting, focusing on eco-nomics and environmental work domesti-cally and internationally in his work withThe Cadmus Group. Hernick represents anew generation of Republicans, one moreinclusive and free market focused than theGOP at the top of the ticket.

“Republicans in Northern Virginia are avery different breed from those that putDonald Trump on the ballot,” said Hernick.

There’s a 30 year age difference be-tween the two candidates, but in manyways their ideological stances aren’t veryfar removed. Hernick is a Republicanwhose chief political inspiration is BobbyKennedy. He’s progressive on social is-sues, last week earning the endorsementof the Log Cabin Republicans. One of histop campaign priorities is combatting cli-mate change that Hernick says is abso-lutely caused by people.

But beneath those similarities, Hernick

The five-week GreenHousecleaning class forimmigrant women began

in 2013 as the vision of AndresTobar, director of the ShirlingtonEmployment and Education Cen-ter (SEEC), who said, “We haveSEEC that was established in 2000to help find connect immigrantdaylaborers with temporary em-ployment, but these are almostalways men. There was nothingfor the women. This Green House-cleaning class gets to women withthe toughest challenges.”

Tobar said when he lookedaround he saw a lot of Hispanicwomen cleaning houses and hethought by teaching them to useenvironmentally safe productsthey would be more marketable.“And they are.” Since then, therehave been eight sessions fundedby Rock Spring United Church ofChrist, Our Lady Queen of Peace,and St. Mary’s Episcopal Churchesas well as general support fromcommunity organizations.

Sandra Short, who runs a house-cleaning business of her own,teaches this class. She says greenhousecleaning is better foreveryone’s health — the peoplewho live in the houses that arecleaned, especially children, andthe housecleaners themselves aswell as helping the environment.Short incorporates hands-on train-ing to be sure the women in theclass can put what they havelearned into practice. “And alwaysbe sure you do a good job on thevents. Ladies look. You think theydon’t, but they do. Some peoplewant you to clean behind thestove.” Short points to the largefront windows at the ArlingtonFree Clinic where this session isbeing held. “We cleaned those win-dows last week for practice withvinegar and water. Add somelemon juice and some essential oilto make it smell nice.”

Claudia Delgado, one of thewomen taking the class, interjectsthat she used 20 Mule Borax toclean her dishwasher last week.“It’s amazing how it cleans.”

Short said, “You prepared it athome after we did it here? Excel-lent.” This is the last class so Shortwill ask them what they remem-ber, then review and then test.Claudia Delgado will use what shelearned to clean her house, AnaDelgado to clean the church andAna Castillo to clean the firsthouse in her new business.

Lessons in HousecleaningLearningto be green.

The last Green Housecleaning session in this five-weekclass gathers around a table of organic cleaning prod-ucts as the group gets ready to review what they havelearned and put it into practice. These classes aresponsored by the Shirlington Employment and Educa-tion Center (SEEC) and funded by local churches andorganizations. Arlington Presbyterian Church has aprovided space for many of these classes. From left areSandra Short, instructor; Claudia Delgado, class mem-ber; Andres Tobar, executive director of SEEC; AnaDelgado and Catalina Torres, both class members.

Ana Castillo babysits forthe children of womentaking the green house-cleaning class sponsoredby SEEC. Andres Tobar,director of SEEC, says thathaving a babysitter avail-able makes it possible formany of the women to takethe course.

Claudia Delgado says sheloves the green houseclean-ing classes that teach herhow to use organic clean-ing products that are “forhealth and very importantto have quality.” She heardabout the class from herchurch and uses what shelearns to clean her ownhouse.

The Connection

For many people, coffee is a utility.It’s a necessary pick-me-up to getthrough the the long work day.That’s how Chase Damiano saw

coffee until he met Robbie Peck. For Peck,coffee was something more. It was an art.More than just a stimulant, for Peck, everycup of coffee is a blend of carefully selectedscents and tastes. When their coffee shop,Commonwealth Joe’s Coffee Roasters, hasits grand opening Saturday, Oct. 22, Peckand Damiano hope to change how Arling-ton County sees coffee.

The coffee shop at the heart of the rap-idly developing Pentagon City is the firstbrick and mortar location for the local cof-fee roasters.

Peck started Commonwealth Joe’s in 2012as an extension of his mother’s passion forcoffee. She roasted for her friends and fam-ily, but never had the interest in businessor marketing to expand beyond that. At thetime, Peck was working at a consulting jobin the area, starting Commonwealth Joe’sas an online-only way of selling his family’sfreshly roasted coffee.

Damiano was working as a consultant atthe same office job as Peck. The two of themworked closely on various projects and

“I knew I didn’t want to be there; I wantedto be an entrepreneur,” said Peck. “To beentrepreneurial means taking a calculatedrisk. Ultimately, the worst case scenario wasgoing back to what I was already doing be-fore. At least I’ll know that I went for it.”

At the farmers’ markets, Peck learned thatthe fundamental success of their brandwould depend on building strong relation-ships. He used the connections built throughthose markets to sell their coffee in localstores, like Frenchman’s Corner inCulpepper, the Clifton Wine Shop, and ran-dom stores throughout the region. One cof-fee shop, The Java Shack at CourthousePlaza, proved to be the growing brand’s bigbreak.

Twenty years ago, The Java Shack’s ownerDale Roberts left his job to start up a coffeeshop.

“It was a passion for me,” said Roberts.According to Roberts, the coffee shop crazehadn’t taken off yet in the area, still being amostly West Coast phenomena. “We weremore of a neighborhood hangout coffeeshop. It was different back then, things likepour-overs and stuff were not popular. Wehad a French press, but that was about it.So after 20 years, I was ready to do otherthings. I’d met [Peck] when he first startedwith Commonwealth Joe’s and I saw hispassion and his energy. It was there the way

it was back in ‘95. I thought he might bethe perfect person to have him take over,because I didn’t want it to all just go away.”

In 2015, Peck and Damiano took over TheJava Cafe.

“We didn’t change the name,” said Peck.“It’s special. It means a lot to people. [Rob-erts] knows everyone in Arlington, and [TheJava Cafe] means a lot to people here. [Rob-erts] taught us a lot about friendliness andhospitality.”

But behind the scenes, Peck and Damianowere making major changes to the coffeeshop. The pay and hours system, manuallydone since the shop’s inception, were mod-ernized. Peck said the surface of the shopstayed the same, but, beneath that, the nutsand bolts of The Java Cafe were completelyreworked. The result was one of the mostprofitable years ever, and yet Peck said thesize of the space was keeping them fromfully exploring their ambitions. RunningThe Java Cafe taught the pair the basics ofrunning a coffee shop, but Peck andDamiano were still interested in having abar with a pour-over space, nitro cold brew,and other amenities that would have to bebuilt into a new space.

While managing The Java Cafe, Peck andDamiano began working more with local

Opinion

Before 1,100 faith community leadersat Oakton High School on Oct. 16,Attorney General Mark R. Herringadded his name to those of more

than 105 other state and elected officialsaround the country who are calling on gunmanufacturers to step up gun safety efforts.

This market-based approach to reducing gunviolence is the brainchild of Metro IAF, a col-lective of local and regional citizens powerorganizations including VOICE (VirginiansOrganized for Interfaith Community Engage-ment) comprised of more than 50 Christian,Muslim, Jewish, and Unitarian faith institu-tions, higher education institutions, and schoolparent/teacher groups in Arlington, Fairfax,and Prince William Counties and the City ofAlexandria.

VOICE is urging state officials and NorthernVirginia officials and law enforcement leadersto sign on to its Do Not Stand Idly By gun vio-lence prevention campaign, which urges gunmanufacturers to step up smart-gun researchand development.

Herring was one of the state and local lead-ers speaking to the 1,100 VOICE leaders gath-ered to launch a new, 4-year organizing agendato build power to effect change on issues ofconcern to Northern Virginia residents.

The new campaign, based on listening ses-sions with 3,000 NoVa residents, will challengestate and local officials to work with VOICE toincrease investment in affordable housing, ex-pand pre-k for low-income families, strengthenpublic education, tackle the roots and effectsof the unjust and inequitable criminal justice

system, combat the climate of racial-ethnic andanti-Muslim intolerance, work for immigrationreform, and improve gun safety and police-community relations. VOICE leaders said theorganization is moving aggressively to increaseits membership and build more power toachieve the changes that are needed to enableNorthern Virginia to live up to its promise of ahigh quality of life for all residents and to en-able the region to attract new jobs and sustaineconomic vitality. “We get things done,” theRev. Dr. Linda Olson Peebles of the UnitarianUniversalist Church of Arlington, emphasizedafter reciting a litany of VOICE successes overthe past eight years since the organization’sfounding. “This is what democracy looks like.”

developer Vornado to provide coffee forevents. Their work began to take them moreinto Crystal City and Pentagon City, wherePeck said they found an area of the countyin the middle of a massive transition.

“It was really growing,” said Peck. “Butwhen we bought the lease here, the build-ing on 12th Street wasn’t open yet. The arealooked empty, but we had to envision whatthe future of this area looked like.”

But it’s not 1996 anymore, and The JavaCafe isn’t the only other coffee game intown. There are four Starbucks within a fewblocks of Commonwealth Joe’s, all of themcloser to the Pentagon City and Crystal CityMetro stations. While he was managing TheJava Cafe, Roberts said he saw a flood ofcoffee chains move into the area and beforced out soon thereafter.

“I could name a dozen coffee places thatopened and failed,” said Roberts. “[Theyhad a] lack of passion for coffee and com-munity involvement, those are the twothings that I feel make Java Shack success-ful. We just had really good coffee; madewith pride. What makes a coffee shop is thepassion for coffee and for people, otherwiseyou’re not going to be successful.”

Peck says their store is going to have toprove to the local community that its qual-ity can beat the competition’s price and con-venience.

“It’s the same decision people make withcraft beer,” said Damiano. “Are they goingto get a $7 pitcher of Bud light, or going tospend $9 for something like DC Brau. It’s achoice, but people are increasingly inter-ested in quality and paying a little more ifwe can show people that our coffee is bet-ter.”

Signature Theatre in Arlington isstaging the Disney musical,“Freaky Friday,” from now throughNov. 20.

When an overworked mother and herteenage daughter magically swap bodies,they have just one day to put things rightagain before mom’s wedding. Based on thenovel by Mary Rodgers and the Disney films,“Freaky Friday” is a contemporary updateof an American classic in which a motherand daughter see what it is to be a familyand experience each other’s lives first-hand,if only for a day.

Three film versions have been made aboutthe story, with the original 1976 versionstarring Barbara Harris and Jodie Foster.The second, a Disney TV version in 1995,starred Shelley Long and Gaby Hoffman;and the third film in 2003 starred JamieLee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan.

The Signature play is by Bridget Carpen-ter, Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, and basedon the novel by Mary Rodgers and the WaltDisney motion pictures.

Jason Gotay plays the role of Adam, theepitome of a cool, popular, charismatic andsmooth 16-year-old who has a crush onEllie, the play’s heroine. “In the annualschool-wide scavenger hunt, Adam is the

‘list master,’ he said. “He creates a list ofclues for the kids to solve, challenging themto step out of their comfort zone and worktogether to win the hunt.”

As far as challenges, he said: “My biggestchallenge was finding ways to make him areal kid, not just the ‘perfect’ teenager.Adam is totally confused by Ellie’s behav-ior and is forced to deal with his feelingsfor her throughout the course of the play.This gives him something to fight for.”

He added: “Instead of playing Adam asjust the ‘cool’ kid, I had to search for waysto humanize him and make him someonethat audiences can relate to.

“I think that anyone who has ever been achild or a parent can find something to re-late to in this musical. This story teaches usto look at things from different perspectivesand helps us understand one another.”

He added: “I also think that audiences willfall in love with this amazing score andlaugh until they can’t breathe like I do ev-ery night.”

Alan H. Green plays the role of Mike,Katherine’s fiance. “He is a good guy whomeets Katherine because he was contractedto refinish her kitchen cabinets. I see himas a man with a bitter divorce in his pastand so he is happy and grateful to havefound love again and a family withKatherine and her two kids,” he said.

8th District Race Pits Beyer Against Hernick

Republican Congressional Candidate Charles Hernickat Commonwealth Joe’s.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Don Beyer at The RoyalRestaurant.

is still true-red. When a student at the cof-fee shop brings up debt forgiveness and freecollege, Hernick braces himself to deliveran unpopular answer for many millennialvoters.

“Where is free college going to comefrom?” asks Hernick. “We can increase ourtaxes on corporations but they will moveabroad. Corporations are already fleeinghigher taxes to places like Ireland. I’mtroubled by the idea of free college tuition.”

Instead, Hernick says the governmentneeds to try and focus on fixing the funda-mentals of the economy to ensure thatgraduates have decently paying jobs to payback their debt. By improving the health ofbusiness, Hernick says a stronger commer-cial tax base can help finance governmentsubsidies to public colleges.

Hernick also says the country needs torework bankruptcy to eliminate studentdebt. Currently, student debt doesn’t goaway when someone files for bankruptcy.

Hernick says he disagrees with many cli-mate change deniers in the Republican lead-ership.

“I’ve been telling Republicans that they’redoomed if they can’t work on climatechange issues,” said Hernick. “People wantto see action.”

But while Hernick’s beliefs on the subjectare closer to Beyer’s there’s still disagree-ment between the two. Hernick opposesBeyer’s proposed carbon tax, saying thatRepublicans will never agree to it. Hernickfavors cap and trade measures, specificallystarting with the trade side to ease otherRepublicans into the idea as financiallysound.

“The far-right is worried about damageto the economy with [climate change-pre-ventative measures], so we start withtrade,” said Hernick. “That won’t hurt theeconomy, it will help build renewable en-ergy, and it’s something we can get passedwithin two years.”

Hernick also says workplace efficiencywithin the federal government has to be apriority for any member of Congress in the8th District.

“The kind of inefficiency that resulted inthe Metro issue and the [current situation]at the Department of Veteran’s Affairsplagues the federal workplace,” saidHernick. “A whole batch of millennials arelooking at government work but are leav-ing this area because it’s not a good placeto work. There’s hiring freezes and incom-petent employees are impossible to fire.We’re losing a lot of good young talent.”

Hernick says he disagrees with the con-ventional wisdom that Virginia, even North-ern Virginia, is a guaranteed Democraticwin. At a local level, Hernick says he drewa lot of inspiration from Arlington CountyBoard member John Vihstadt’s election andsubsequent reelection to the overwhelm-ingly Democratic Arlington County Board.

“He built a fiscal platform with a broadcoalition,” said Hernick. “He won becausehe focused on the issues that matter. We’reone of the youngest and most diverse areas

of the country. If I can get my message out,I can win.”

Hernick says the 20 percent of millennialsvoting for Gary Johnson gives him hope forhis candidacy as well. On election day,Hernick says he plans to vote early and thentravel the district to introduce himself out-side other polling stations.

U.S. Rep. Don Beyer meets at The RoyalRestaurant, a diner serving Old Town Alex-andria since 1908. It’s a quieter and moresedentary atmosphere than CommonwealthJoe’s, but one whose walls are adorned withpictures of famous visitors.

It’s been two years since Beyer took of-fice, stepping into the shoes of longtime U.S.Rep. Jim Moran.

“I was surprised Hernick got the nomina-tion,” said Beyer. “I respect his positions onclimate change and we end up agreeing ona lot.”

For Beyer, climate change and environ-mental work has been at the center of hiscampaign. While respecting Hernick’s po-sitions, Beyer says it is naive to think Re-publican leadership is going to be willingto work on climate change issues, referenc-ing Cap and Trade measures similar to whatHernick is proposing that were brought upin 2010 and actively campaigned againstby Republicans. Instead, Beyer has beenpushing for a tax on carbon emissions, oneaimed at environmental deterrence ratherthan as a revenue source.

“One hundred percent of that tax revenuewill go back into people’s pockets,” saidBeyer. “I think Republicans will like thisversion more because it isn’t about increas-ing revenue to the government.”

Beyer says he’s spent the last two yearsin office trying to reach out to Republicansand has found only 10 even willing to talkabout the issue, with several of them retir-ing.

“To pass a carbon tax [and other envi-ronmental reforms], Democrats will haveto be in the majority,” said Beyer. “If we are,we can get the Republicans onboard.”

In the meantime, Beyer says he’s continu-ing to meet with Republicans one on one towork on changing their minds.

Beyer’s stance on free college would have

gone over well with many of the patrons ofCommonwealth Joe’s. Beyer supports freecommunity college to help make the firstfew years of school tuition and debt free.Beyer says the government needs to workto help make it possible to refinance stu-dent loans.

Like Hernick, Beyer says many of the long-term fixes for tuition costs are going to haveto come from systematic reforms. For Beyer,that means reforming the budget processto be more bipartisan and enact harsherconsequences for Congress if no budget ispassed.

Beyer also says his candidacy is aboutpushing for economic empowerment ofwomen and what he calls the “economictransformation of Northern Virginia.” Beyersays the government needs to invest moreheavily in the nation’s infrastructure, espe-cially in a district with a failing Metro andcrumbling bridges.

In 2014’s five candidate race, Beyer wonwith 63 percent of the vote, more thandouble Republican Micah Edmond. FrankShafroth from George Mason University’sCenter for Regional Analysis said it will bedifficult, but not impossible, for a Republi-can to win in the 8th District.

“[Northern Virginia] voters have electedany number of Republicans to the CityCouncil, and some have gone on from there

to distinguished careers in the Virginia Leg-islature,” said Shafroth in an email. “Thereis a tendency to vote for merit and integ-rity, notwithstanding party. So being a moreliberal, as opposed to conservative [Repub-lican], has benefitted former leaders likeConnie Ring and Bob Calhoun, who bothearned bipartisan support in going from theCouncil to distinguished service in Rich-mond. That being said, it is difficult to un-seat incumbents who have earned supportand trust over the years, so the challengersthis year, in a state trending heavily againstthe head of the Republican ticket, face agreater than usual challenge.”

Beyer and Hernick won’t be the onlynames on the ballot. Independent JulioGracia, a former FBI agent, has been run-ning a low budget campaign. Like Beyer,Gracia believes in more free communitycollege, stricter enviromental regulations,and universal healthcare. However, Graciasays his political “experiment” is aimed atrunning a campaign and getting people in-volved in politics without the filter of rep-resenting a political party. “It’s really justmy wife and I going around Fall’s Churchknocking on doors and talking to people,”said Gracia. “You start to realize that manypeople share the same frustrations. We needpoliticians who are more in touch with thepeople in their district.”

The Connection

From interviews to essays tostandardized tests to openhouses, the season for submit-ting independent school ap-

plications is underway. For families vy-ing for a spot at the area’s most eliteschools, the process can be fraught withanxiety, stress and confusion as parentsand students wade through the myriadacademic options in the Washington,D.C., region.

Admissions decision-makers at fivelocal private schools share advice thatthey might offer their own children,underscoring the importance of find-ing the best fit rather than trying to fitinto a top school if the environmentmight not match a student’s personal-ity.

Matti Donkor, interim director of enroll-ment management at The Madeira Schoolin McLean:

“Enter the process very open-minded. I don’t be-lieve in saying, ‘This is the one school for me.’ I be-lieve in knowing the core things that are importantto you like the school’s community, culture and tra-ditions, but also in understanding that you mightfind those characteristics in a variety of schools. Ithink students and families should be engaged in the[application] process. I think we do the school visitand that is the only interac-tion you have with the school.Find out what else is happen-ing on campus, connect withother students and alumni.Really take the time to under-stand the culture of theschool and whether it appealsto you.”

Lisa Knight, director ofadmission, Flint HillSchool, Oakton:

“Take time to learn about the school community.Shadow for day, attend several [school] communityevents, go and experience the community for your-self. Notice how you feel when you are on campus.Do you feel welcomed? Are current students andteachers greeting you in the hallways and class-rooms? Do they notice you? Can you see yourselfgrowing academically, intellectually and sociallythere? Are you comfortable with the teaching styleand methods? Do you value what the school values?”

Richard S. Moss, director of admission,The Heights School, Potomac, Md.:

“Teach your child how to make a pros and conslist. Help him or her thoughtfully consider the op-tions. Ultimately, your child needs to know that he isa valued advisor to the ultimate decision makers:the parents. It’s an opportunity for parents to nur-ture trust. It is a mistake to lead your child to be-lieve that one school is the be all and end all to life’s

problems. That’s a high bar, and, more importantly,you don’t want to crush a child’s spirit if he doesn’tget in.”

Michael Cresson, director of admissions,Bishop O’Connell High School, Arlington:

“I recommend all students looking at variousschools make sure that they are comfortable. Defi-nitely shadow and visit during open houses to get atrue sense of the community and school. I tell stu-dents to make sure they are comfortable and happy

with their choice becausethey only get to go to highschool once.”

Sean Aiken, head ofschool, BASIS Indepen-dent, McLean:

“I would advise studentsnot to get too caught up intheir resumes and recordsand instead work to discusspassions and projects thatexcite and interest them.

How will the school help you explore your ideas ingreater depth? In what areas do you want to im-prove? I’m always impressed with students who arehungry to know more about the world.”

Julie C. Lewis, director of admission andfinancial aid, Alexandria County DaySchool, Alexandria:

“I recommend that families “Take the time to visita wide-range of schools, not just the ones yourfriends’ kids attend, to really get a feel for what ap-peals to you as a family and will work best for yourindividual child. The Association of IndependentSchools of Greater Washington’s website (AISGW.org)is a fantastic place to start your research and maylead you to a school you were not previously famil-iar with. Once you’ve created your list of schools,visit each of them and don’t be afraid to ask as manyquestions as needed to really get a sense of the aca-demic program and school community.”

Local private school admissions directors sharewisdom they’d offer to their own children.

Advice from the Pros

Applying for a slot at one of the area’s top privateschools, such as BASIS Independent McLean, can befraught with tension.

“The application processis an opportunity to teachtheir children the art ofdispassionate decision.”
