News

After 30 years of talking and plan-ning, work is finally starting on theTransform I-66 project. Eight toll

gantries will be installed along I-66 insidethe beltway with tolling operations ex-pected to begin in summer 2017. The I-66plans also include an additional eastboundlane between the Dulles Connector Roadand Ballston. On Aug. 1, at the parking deckfor Washington-Lee High School built overthe highway, Gov. Terry McAuliffe spoke tolocal elected officials and government staffabout the new I-66 project.

“This is the most congested road in theUnited States,” said McAuliffe. This has tobe our top priority. The gridlock and bottle-necks have gone on for too long. It was timefor action.”

According to McAuliffe, the revenues col-

lected from the tolling will directly fundlocal rideshare and public transit alterna-tives.

Virginia Secretary of TransportationAubrey Layne said drivers should expectperiodic lane and ramp closures while thegantries are installed. However, Layne saidgantry installations and associated lane clo-sures will take place overnight, when traf-fic is lightest. Layne also said that local gov-ernments will have to decide on whatsoundproofing measures are required forlocal residents as a result of the increasedtraffic.

“There is money in this project to fund[mitigation measures],” said Layne.

Dennis Leach, deputy drector of Trans-portation, said that funding for sound miti-gation will have to come from the state.

“We do not have any plans to fund ele-ments related to this road with local fund-ing,” said Leach.

County Board Chair Libby Garvey has amore ambitious vision for the future I-66.

Garvey never been fond of the highway. InFebruary, Garvey referred to I-66 as a gashthrough heart of the county. But pullingMcAuliffe aside after the ceremony, shepitched her idea of a highway concealedwith parks overhead. It’s ambitious and po-tentially costly, but Garvey said it’s not with-out precedent.

“Where we’re standing is over I-66,” saidGarvey. “Imagine this, but with parks andtrees. This at least has us talking to the stateabout it.”

In the more immediate future, Garveynoted that the sound walls protecting neigh-borhoods from the ambient noises of I-66have deteriorated with time and need re-pair.

Surge 5 ended with a bang. OnFriday, July 29, a Metro trainderailed near the East FallsChurch Metro Station. Two

passengers sustained minor injuriesand a third was sent to the hospitalfor a non-life threatening headwound. The Arlington portions of theOrange and Silver lines had alreadybeen single tracking as part of Surge5, but the derailment closed the linesbetween Ballston and McLean on theSilver Line and West Falls Church onthe Orange Line until Monday, whenSurge 5 was scheduled to have fin-ished.

“Friday was a complete disaster forthe region,” said Gov. Terry McAuliffeon Aug. 1 at a groundbreaking cer-emony for I-66 improvements. “Howdoes that even happen?”

In a press release, the WashingtonMetropolitan Area Transit Authority(WMATA) said a “wide gauge” causedthe derailment, a situation where thetracks are too far apart and the wheelslose contact with the rails.

“Friday was tough,” said ArlingtonDeputy Directorof Transporta-tion DennisLeach. “We’relucky we’re inthe middle ofthe summer andweekend rider-ship is low … Itwas a hardshipfor our riders. Itlimits our traveloptions. If youhave to have ad e r a i l m e n tthough, havingit over a week-

end is better than middle of the week.”It was a dramatic end to a surge that

had otherwise been without incident.Surge 5 was the latest in a series ofsingle-tracking and shutdowns toMetro lines over the summer whileWMATA makes repairs to the metroinfrastructure. All five surges so farhave taken place around Arlingtonand Alexandria, forcing local govern-ments to make changes to the localtransportation networks. In Arlingtonand Alexandria, those changes havebeen added bikeshare stations andincreased bus line services.

“All those things worked out prettywell,” said Leach, “weekend derail-ment aside.”

Leach said that there was very littleArlington could do on short notice toease the effects of the derailment. Thecounty could plan ahead for thesurges, but Leach said after the de-

railment the county could only react.During Surge 5, Arlington offered added

bus capacity on routes parallel to the Or-ange and Silver lines as well as new servicehours for the bus between Crystal City andthe Rosslyn Courthouse. The final data onhow successful those plans were hasn’t beenreleased yet; Leach says that report will beprepared before the end of the week, butdata from previous surges indicate an in-creased use of buses and other forms oftransportation.

Surge 4 was a complete Blue and YellowLine segment shutdown between NationalAirport and Pentagon City with no Metrorailservice at Crystal City. ART 43, a bus linethat runs parallel to the blue line, doubledits ridership from 620 passengers duringweekdays in May to 1,240 riders duringSurge 4. During Surge 1, where Orange andSilver Line trains were single tracking be-tween East Falls Church and Ballston,Metrobus routes saw 14-45 percent increasein ridership, while the ART 55 route alongLee Highway saw a more modest 2-13 per-cent increase.

Arlington also changed the curbside man-agement of buses at the East Falls Churchand Ballston Metro to create more curb androad spaces for buses. In Ballston, thechanges took over street metered parkingto expand the bus spaces. Leach says thesechanges were temporary. But other changes,like the expanded bike share station atBallston, will remain.

“What we learned in surge one is that ourridership base is pretty resilient,” said Leach.“If you get information out, people will usethe alternative.”

On Aug. 1, the first day back to normalservice, many commuters said they did haveto find alternative means of getting to workduring a surge.

“I’d start on the Silver Line in Restonwaiting 45 minutes for a train which, whenit shows up, is full,” said Nick LaBahn. “Theyyou get into Rosslyn and we had to wait fortwo and a half hours. Eventually I just gaveup and started working from home.”

Working from home was one of the mostcommon solutions for Arlington commut-ers. Dillon Simon said he planned his sum-mer vacations to avoid the surges.

“Between vacation and telework, it wasOK,” said Simon. “The main delay was theYellow Line closing in Alexandria.”

Mike Navarro is an Alexandria residentwho had just returned to the area from ElPaso when the surges hit. Navarro said theworst part of the surges was seeing buseslined up to take people from one station oranother, then seeing some of the buses un-expectedly pull away to change shifts ortake a break. But overall, Navarro said hewas impressed with the bus system.

“The buses were pretty good,” saidNavarro. “We had very courteous driversand they knew their stuff. I think I woulduse the buses more after this.”

“I thought the buses did a good job,” said

Opinion

Has your organization been fea-tured in the Connection Newspapers, or the Alexandria Ga-zette Packet or the Mount Vernon

Gazette or the Centre View or the PotomacAlmanac?

Have any of our papers taken note of yourbusiness when you and/or your employeespitch in to help the community? Or when youopened your doors or celebrated a milestone?

Are you an elected official whose messagesare enhanced by coverage of issues in the Con-

nection? Do you work for a partof local government that hasasked for help getting the wordout about a need or a new ini-

tiative or accomplishments?I have a special favor to ask:Buy an ad in our Newcomers and Commu-

nity Guide. Please.Show your support for our organization

which continues to be here to support theforces of good in our communities.

Our annual Newcomers and CommunityGuide is a pullout section that will appear inthe the Aug. 24, 2016 edition of all 15 Con-nection Newspapers, published by Local Me-dia Connection. Deadline is Aug. 17.

We are creating a quality special issue, andwe need your help. Whether you invest in asmall ad in a single paper (super affordable),or a full page in all 15 of our papers (supervalue), we appreciate your help this month.

To put on my publisher’s hat (and not myeditor’s hat) for a minute, if you have a mar-keting budget, and you value coverage of lo-cal newspapers (not just ours), why wouldn’tyou spend a portion of that budget (any por-tion) supporting that platform? There is a cau-tionary tale in the abrupt closure a year ago ofthe chain of local papers that served Montgom-ery and Prince George’s counties in Maryland,as an extreme example.

But it’s more than a charitable effort.For the same reasons that organizations,

businesses and campaigns know they want lo-cal newspaper coverage, newspaper advertis-ing is an effective way to reach voters, resi-dents, clients. The Connection reaches morethan 200,000 readers, in print and online, in-cluding remarkable demographics. Our read-ers include local and national decision makersin the public and private sector. According toan independent study during the last presiden-tial campaign, cited by the National Newspa-per Association: 86 percent of voters who castballots in the last election read newspapers inprint or online; 79 percent of voters ages 18 to34 read newspapers in print or online; 91 per-cent of voters who contribute to campaignsread newspapers in print or online. The dead-line for the Newcomers and Community Guideis Aug. 17. Digital enhancements and supportare available. More information at

email [email protected] orcall 703-778-9431.

Share Tips aboutCommunity

We need help from our readers for our an-nual Newcomers and Community Guide.

We’re hoping to share special places, activi-ties, events, organizations and volunteer op-portunities.

What should someone new to your neigh-borhood know about? Events that should notbe missed? Organizations that do a great job?Places to volunteer? Tips for navigating yourPTA or your school’s front office? A great placeto see the sunset? We’d love to have your pho-tos to go along with your suggestions.

What are your favorite parks? Favorite his-toric sites? What tips do you have for some-one getting to know the community?

We will publish a selection of local tips alongwith a plethora of information useful to new-comers and long-time residents alike, includ-ing our award-winning Insiders Guide to theParks, and information on how to vote andmore. See last year’s community guides by go-ing to www.connectionnewspapers.com/PDFs/and scrolling down to Newcomers.

CorrectionIn “What’s the Hurry? Where’s

the Fire,” [Arlington Connection,July 13], the article misquotedDeputy Manager Jim Schwartz.His quote should have said: “… ifevery single address in Arlingtonneeds a 4-6 minute response time,we would need a total of 14-15 firestations” — not an additional 14-15 fire stations. Also ECC is theEmergency Communications Cen-ter.

Lena Chang, who takes the YellowLine to L’Enfant Plaza. “We had totake the shuttle buses, but theywere pretty well organized. Thecommute was longer, it’s usallyabout 30 minutes and during thesurge it took an hour and 15 min-utes, but they had people direct-ing buses and the shuttles wereready to go.”

Arlington County Board ChairLibby Garvey said her hope is, af-ter the surges, more Metro riderswill start to transition into bus rid-ers.

“So far so good for safe track-ing,” said Garvey. “Our bus rider-ship has doubled, we’ve seenpeople are using alternative modesof transit. I totally suspect thatpeople will switch over to busesafter this.”

The next surge to hit Arlingtonwill be Surge 11, between Nov. 3and 11 where the Orange and Sil-

ver Lines will be continuouslysingle tracking. For Arlingtoniansusing the Metro, Leach says Surge11 should be virtually identical toSurge 5.

Arlington Babe Ruth Baseball Hosts Jiapao Players from Beijing

Some ABR teammates juggled playing in the 10th Annual Doc Bonaccorso Tournamentalong with hosting visitors from Jiapao for the beginning of their visit and missedearly training sessions. ABR welcomed their visitors from Beijing with a BBQ duringthe Doc Bonaccorso Tournament.

Last week, Arlington Babe Ruth (ABR)Baseball hosted 18 Jiapao “Homerun” Base-ball players from Beijing, China for a weekof baseball training, sightseeing and a cul-tural exchange. Each day started with timeon the diamond with former MLB playerand manager, Jim Lefebvre, and his assis-tant Dan Cassidy. ABR coaches and formerplayers also assisted.

“When the Jiapao director approached uswith this idea, we were a little skeptical. Bythis time in July, following our DocBonaccorso Tournament, many baseballfamilies finally take vacations. We took theidea to our membership and they enthusi-astically jumped in,” said ABR Commis-sioner, Phil Juliano.

Jiapao players stayed in ABR homes, shar-ing time away from the diamond at localswimming pools, the White House, areamuseums and Washington Nationals Sta-dium.

Jiapao director, Kang Kang, lived in theD.C. area for three years before returningto Beijing, taking a love of baseball withhim. “My goal is to coach Chinese children

to enjoy sport for the funof it, not as a competi-tion,” he said. To pro-mote the idea of fun, andto cool down in the areaheat wave, Julianotossed water balloons tothe youngest of the visi-tors in a modified gameearly in the week.

Lefebvre developedand coached the ChineseOlympic team for the2008 games in Beijing.That cultural connectionwas strengthened lastweek when he begantraining the next genera-tion of athletes. At the

The Connection

Listening to Christian Elliot describe part of arecent vacation that he took with his wife,Nina, you might think he was attending a fit-

ness bootcamp.“We woke up early, got in a jog and I did push-ups

on a step, lunges on a dirt road,” said Christian Elliot.“As long as you have gravity … you can exercise.”

While August vacations offer a chance to renewand rejuvenate, carving out time to exercise and cre-ating opportunities for nutritious food are keys tomaintaining a healthy lifestyle while on holiday.

“The biggest thing about eatinghealthy and exercising on vacationis planning ahead,” said Elliot, apersonal trainer and founder ofTRUE Health and Wholeness in Ar-lington. “People plan their vaca-tion in pretty good detail, but theyfail to plan where and how they’regoing to work out.”

Part of that planning includesbringing packable equipment andappropriate clothing for exercise.“Pack [resistance] bands forstrengthening exercises, and ajump rope is a great way to getcardio. Those are lightweight and easy to pack,” saidCatie Brocker, NP-C, MSN, director of the StudentHealth Center at Marymount University in Arling-ton. “Whatever you do, keep it simple and fun. If wemake it too complicated it might not work.”

GETTING ACTIVE with family and friends is oneway that Brocker made exercise enjoyable during arecent vacation. “I led a bodyweight circuit for myfamily every morning when I was on a beach vaca-tion recently,” she said. “We were staying on thebeach and we would wake up each morning and doa workout.”

Part of the appeal of bodyweight exercises is that

they can be done virtually anywhere and require noequipment. Brocker recommends 60-second exerciseintervals with 15 seconds of rest between each set.

“I do an upper body exercise, a lower body exer-cise, sit ups and some type of cardio,” she said. “Forexample, push ups, squats, jumping jacks and a situp. There are fitness and workout apps out therethat you can use if you feel intimidated by creatingyour own bodyweight circuit. If you write out a fewexercises before you leave for vacation, you’re farmore likely to do it.”

From swimming laps in a hotel pool to walkinglaps around an airport terminal while waiting for aflight, there are many ways to get creative with ex-ercise.

“Hotels usually either have a gym … and the con-cierge can tell you about nearby trails for hiking orwalking,” said Brocker.

In addition to planning to exercise while on vaca-tion, packing a small, portable stash of fruit, veg-etables or trail mix can quell hunger while sightseeing

or waiting at the airport. “Stop bythe grocery store and pick uphealthier snacks,” said Brocker.“Go-to foods for me are nuts ordried fruit. They’re great whengoing through security.”

For those who, like the Elliots,will be traveling with children,child-friendly snacks are a must.“We have to manage their lowblood sugar with quick energyhits,” said Elliot. “Our kids love thegrass-fed beef sticks or beef jerky.”

“You can’t deprive yourself andsay’ I’m not going to have ice

cream at all’,” said Janet Zalman, founder of theZalman Nutrition Group. “You can say, ‘I’m going tohave ice cream one or two times, but I’m not goingto eat the supersize, I’ll have a kiddie size.’”

It’s also a good idea to choose restaurants and pe-ruse menus at your destination before leaving onvacation. “Research your options,” said Brocker, “Likeanything else you do, you have to plan and researchit so that you can be an informed consumer.”

Finally, if you decide to splurge on a favorite food,make it count. “When you go off the rails and eathigh calories food, make sure it’s fabulous,” Zalman.“Most people cheat out of convenience, but if you’regoing to cheat, cheat high.”

Nina andChristian Elliotplan ahead toincorporate ahealthy dietand exerciseinto familyvacations withtheir childrenNaomi, 8,Caleb, 6, Noah,2, and Cohen,7 months.

Staying Fit and Healthy on VacationAdvance planning is key tomaintaining a healthy dietand fitness on the road.

“Whatever you do,keep it simple andfun. If we make ittoo complicated itmight not work.”

By KENNETH B. LOURIE

“Love That Dirty Water”

“Oh, Boston you’re my home.” At least it wasagain for four days this past week: Sunday a.m.through Wednesday p.m. First I saw my best friend,Cary, and his family for two and a half days; then,for a day and another half, with a Washington,D.C. friend, Jim, I attended two Boston Red Soxgames at Fenway Park (“Baseball’s most belovedballpark”): Tuesday evening and Wednesdayafternoon.

I not only grew up in Boston (Newton Centre,actually) I was raised there as well. I had loving andsupportive parents who, to this day, even in theirabsence (both having succumbed to old age a fewyears back) impact my life. I quote them often,refer to their parental advisories, tell their storiesand even, grudgingly, repeat my father’s jokes (I’llspare you any examples). When my father retiredat age 70, my parents moved to Florida so I hadfewer reasons to return home; though periodicallyI did so (high school reunions, Bar Mitzvahs, etc.).Previous to this visit however, I had not been backin nearly six years; in late October 2010 whenCary and I went to see the Boston Celtics play theMiami Heat in LeBron James’ first regular seasongame after “The Decision.”

Being back home now (yes, home to me iswhere I was born, bred and buttered; my lifethrough high school) was extremely emotional.When I first met Cary and his wife, Mindy, at theairport, I started crying. I don’t know if it was thelung cancer/my heightened sense of mortality orjust my age, but the tears flowed.

As you might imagine, we drove by all thefamiliar places: schools, temple, the house where Ilived, the old neighborhood, downtown Boston,the Charles River (to which this title refers) and thesuburbs. For food, we ate Chinese and Italian fordinner, meatball and cheese subs and pizza forlunch (all perfect for me) and fresh muffins andbagels for breakfast. We reminisced and laughed,appearing not to miss a beat from any previous vis-its and/or any of the hundreds of phone calls we’veshared over the years. Overall, I was nurtured andloved and made to feel significant and appreciated.Wonderful doesn’t begin to describe the way I feltand the manner in which I was treated. To quote aformer checker at my local Safeway: it was“superfantastic.”

Tuesday afternoon/evening it was on to FenwayPark, home of the Boston Red Sox since 1912, forthe first of our two games. We had box seats upthe right field line, within 20 rows or so of the rightfield foul pole, better known as the “Pesky Pole,”named after the legendary Red Sox shortstop.Johnny Pesky, he of the alleged “held-ball” in the1946 World Series, among other memories. (A fewyears back, the left field foul pole was officiallynamed the “Fisk Pole” after former Boston Red Soxcatcher, and now Hall of Famer, Carlton Fisk: mostremembered by Red Sox Nation for his 12thinning, arm-waving, foul-pole hitting, game-win-ning home run in game six of the 1975 WorldSeries against the Cincinnati Reds, aka “The BigRed Machine.”)

I attended many games at Fenway Park (notthat one unfortunately, but I know exactly where Iwas when “Pudge” hit his series-tying shot), mostlywith my father so the memories came gushing backas I walked along Yawkey Way: the vendor/locationwhere my father always stopped for a sausage andonion sandwich, the old ticket booths at Gate A,the “Fenway franks” he’d smother with condi-ments, the peanut/popcorn/ice cream concessionshe’d buy for me, the ticket window he’d go toinside the stadium to try and upgrade our seats, theadjacent bathroom with the old-fashioned ameni-ties, his preference to sit on the first-base side inorder to see the action in the left-field corner atthe base of the “Green Monster,” and too manymore to recount. I would guess you get the gist ofit by now.

It was four days I’ll never forget and a lifetimeI’ll always remember – and cherish. Thanks to mywife, Dina for encouraging me to take the trip andto Cary and Mindy for hosting me. If I had it to doover again, I wouldn’t change a thing. Well, onething, actually. The Red Sox lost both games, so Inever got to hear “Love That Dirty Water,” the tra-ditional song/anthem played at the stadium to cele-brate a win.
