The Connection

A new Affordable Housing MasterPlan released in March laid outArlington County’s dire Afford-able Housing needs. Hoping for

approval before the plan is brought to theCounty Board in July, the Affordable Hous-ing Study Working Group presented its find-ings to the Transportation Commission onApril 2. The Master Plan was approvedunanimously.

Arlington has seen a reduction in lowerincome households over the past decade.Between 2000 and 2012, there was a 9.9percent reduction in households earningless than $60,000 and a 5.8 percent de-crease in households earning between$60,000 and $99,000. Every income group

over $100,000 saw a population increase,including a 59.8 percent increase in house-holds earning above $200,000. In that time,Arlington also lost 13,500 affordable rentalhomes through rent increases, conversionto condo-min iums ,and rede-velopment.

However,b e t w e e n2010 and2040, theAr l ingtonAffordable Housing Master Plan indicatesthat households with less than 60 percentof area median income will increase from20,200 to 27,600 and will represent 17.7percent of Arlington households. RussellDanao-Schroeder, senior housing planner at

Arlington County, said this is likely due to apredicted influx of lower wage jobs. By2040, to accommodate for the increase andthe current gap, Danao-Schroeder said thatArlington will have to add an additional

21,000 af-f o r d a b l erental unitsb e t w e e n2010 and2040 tomeet theprojectedneed.

Currently, with a net-loss of affordablehousing in Arlington, Danao-Schroeder saidthat the county has been primarily focusedon maintaining the existing affordable hous-ing.

“Is all we’re going to do preserve our cur-

rent affordable housing?” asked Danao-Schroeder. “If we don’t build [more afford-able housing], we’re going to be behind.Preservation is a focus, but it can’t be all.”

According to the Master Plan, Arlingtonhas seen 32.1 percent rise in the 20’s and30’s age group between 2000 and 2012compared to a 16.7 percent overall increasein population. However, this was not thefastest growing age group in Arlington.Baby boomers, those between 55 and 65years old, grew by 48.8 percent in that sametime span. According to the Master Plan,this is a strong indication of future housingneeds

While the 30 to 40 percent of income ruleis fairly common, the Arlington AffordableHousing Master Plan notes that it is by nomeans set in stone. For instance, the plan

The Connection

A last minute plea from lo-cal business owners andlingering doubts com-

pelled the Transportation Commis-sion to reconsider, and ultimatelyrecommend deferring, a proposalfrom Arlington County’s Depart-ment of Environmental Services toincrease the meter rates andhours.

At the April 2 meeting of theTransportation Commission, Park-ing Manager Michael Connor pre-sented the proposal for thecommission’s approval before itgoes to the County Board for avote on April 18. The meter rateswould increase by $.25 from $1.25to $1.50 per hour in short-termparking and from $1 to $1.25 inlong-term parking. The secondpart of staff’s plan would extend

the Monday through Saturdaymeter hours, which currently endsat 6 p.m., to 8 p.m.

The last meter increase was in2012, when meters in Arlingtonincreased from $1 per hour to$1.25 for short term

According to Connor, the rateincrease is in keeping with park-ing rates in the surrounding area.In Alexandria, short term parkingis $1.75 per hour and in D.C.,parking costs can go up to $2 perhours in premium demand areas.

The Transportation Engineeringand Operations Division of Arling-ton County’s Department of Envi-ronmental Services Parking in Ar-lington currently operates in adeficit. It costs between $10 mil-lion to $10.5 million to operate onstreet and off street spaces, a costwhich includes maintenance andenforcement of parking law. In2014, The Transportation Engi-

neering and Operations Division ofArlington County’s Department ofEnvironmental Services collected$7 million in revenue, leaving a$3 million budget deficit. With theincreased meter rate and longerhours, Connor estimated an addi-tional $1.9 million would be gen-erated in revenue without any sub-stantial addition to expenditures.But Connor also emphasized thatrevenue isn’t the primary decisionmaking factor behind the increase.

According to Connor, Arlingtonneeds to maintain a mix of appro-priate users for its parking net-work, and the county’s reasoningis that a two-hour limit to spacesprovides greater turnover fornearby businesses.

“When we look at our parkingmeters and we look at our park-ing system, we’re not salivatingover dollars and cents,” saidConnor. “It’s about how the road-side metered spaces benefit the

activities around them; whetherthat’s a park, a restaurant, a drycleaners, or an office building …This fee is necessary to encourageturnover.”

The move is also intended tomove parking towardsunderutilized garages. Accordingto Connor, at the Ballston parkingdeck, one of the four parking ga-rages managed by the county, only60 percent of the building’s 2,800

Commission recommends County Board deferaction on increases to meter rates and hours.Insufficient Data

notes that a homeowner close to his workcan afford to spend up to 48 percent of hisor her income

According to the Master Plan, in 2013there were 17,136 renter households inArlington with incomes below 60 percentaverage median income and only 9,565housing units affordable in this price range,leaving a 7,000 unit gap.

In addition to low income households, theAffordable Housing Master Plan noted thatthe elderly, minority households, and fami-lies with children were also consideredgroups that face affordable housing chal-lenges.

Two thirds of households above 65 yearsold spent more than 30 percent of their in-come, and the Master Plan notes that “lowincome older adult households on a fixedincome face growing financial stress aroundrent and condo fee increases.”

The Master Plan also notes that Arling-ton has become less ethnically diverse be-tween 2000 and 2012. The non-Hispanicwhite population in Arlington grew by 22.5percent as compared to 16 percent growthfor other demographics. Arlington was alsothe only jurisdiction within the Washing-ton D.C. region to see a decline in its His-panic population.

“Racial or ethnic minority households are

more likely than white households to faceaffordability challenges,” according to theMaster Plan. “Nearly half of African Ameri-can households, including both renters andowners, are cost burdened (meaning thatthey pay over 30 percent of their income tohousing); 57 percent of Hispanic rentersand 48 percent of Hispanic homeowners arecost burdened.”

According to the Master Plan, one in fiveHispanic and African-American householdssurveyed said they have already moved outof a home in Arlington because they couldno longer afford the cost of living there and

a majority felt certain that they would notbe able to remain in Arlington in the com-ing years.

The Master Plan indicated that Arlingtonhouseholds with children also tend to bemore cost-burdened than average. Seventypercent of single-parent renters in Arling-ton spend more than 30 percent of theirincome on housing.

To overcome the decline in affordablehousing, the Affordable Housing StudyWorking Group proposed a series of objec-tives and general policies. The first objec-tive is to produce and preserve a sufficient

supply of affordable rental housing to meetcurrent and future needs, specifically rein-forcing the need to have 17.7 percent ofhousing in Arlington be affordable by 2040.The second goal focused on ensuring ac-cess to affordable housing for the groupsidentified as “in need.”

Some on the Transportation Commissionhad concerns that the Master Plan’s goalswere too limited.

“This is generally the right approach,” saidAndrew Schneider, “but we need to thinkcreatively. There’s a lot of vacancy in Ar-lington and a lot of opportunities to use alot of empty spaces.”

“My concern is that we’re restraining our-selves with zoning from the 1990s,” saidChris Slatt, chairman of the TransportationCommission.

“Unless we make a strong statementsomewhere that says we need to open thatbox and say ‘hey, this is a high capacity tran-sit corridor, maybe there should be some-thing more dense here than single familyhousing.’”

Danao-Schroeder said that while heagreed with the Slatt, the actions that couldbe proposed by the Affordable HousingStudy Working Group came with restraints.

“There were limits on what we could do,”said Danao-Schroeder, “rezoning the countywas one that we can’t do.”

More Data Sought for Changes in Meter Rates, Hours

“It’s not the public policy I haveconcerns about, it’s the process.There’s nothing wrong with saying thatwhile we support what is being said, wedon’t like how it was done here.”

— Transportation Commissioner Andrew Schneider

parking spaces are filled during peak occu-pancy hours.

“When you drive down the street, if yousee sandwich boards on the sidewalk withan early bird special,” said Connor, “that’sa garage that’s mostly empty and they’retrying to make revenue any way they can.”

Connor also said that the county is con-tinuing to move away from single spacecoin-fed meters, or “dummy meters” asConnor calls them, towards “smart meter”technology. Currently, 50 per-cent of Arlington’s parking, or2,616 spaces, have a corre-sponding single space “dummymeter.” There are 325 multi-space meters covering 2,553spaces and 74 single space“smart meters.” However, usageof these meters has shifted radi-cally. In 2007, 75 percent ofparking was paid for throughcoin-operated meters. In 2014,only 25 percent of parking iscoin based.

However, while one of the stated objec-tives of the increase was to benefit the Ar-lington business community, local busi-nesses responded with adamant rejectionof the proposal.

“If customers start getting tickets, they’llbe upset,” said Karen Orlando, owner ofMexicali Blues on Wilson Boulevard, whosaid she had a bigger problem with extend-ing the meter hours to 8 p.m. than raising

the meter cost. “We don’t want people driv-ing their cars to be deterred. Free parkingafter 6 p.m. is one of the last good bastionsin this community. I suggest we find a newway to fund the new meters.”

Greg Cahill, president of the ClarendonBusiness Association, said that the proposedincreases sound helpful but would be harm-ful in the long run.

“It’s penny-wise and pound-foolish,” saidCahill. “If we need money for the county,we need to go after it another way. We need

to figure out how to get more money tocome to Clarendon. We make money on thesales tax and meals tax, not nickeling anddiming the meters.”

Cahill said he opposes both the increasein meter costs and the extended hours.

“There are some places people can gowithout having to spend anything at all,”said Cahill.

“That’s money they’re not turning aroundand spending in a restaurant or grocery

store. If they left it alone, it’d be fine. Youdon’t attract customers by extending themeter hours, it’s counter productive.”

Like Orlando, Cahill predicted the longermeter hours would lead to an increase inticketing, which would devastate local busi-nesses.

“We’re not talking .25 cents more they’repaying for parking now, we’re talking $30more, and those people might not comeback,” said Cahill.

“We need to get more people to come toClarendon, not charge more tothe people who do come.That’s not a transportation is-sue, that’s an economic devel-opment issue.”

Some of the TransportationCommission members ques-tioned the methods being usedby county staff. Commissionmember James Schroll ex-pressed concerns that Connorwas asking the commission tosupport this proposal to the

County Board without any substantial datato support the change. A study relating tothe effects of parking in Arlington is ex-pected to be released in June, and some onthe commission said they were uncomfort-able supporting such a decision withoutdata.

“We’ve waited four years for a [meter]increase and now we’re going to move for-ward on this in 19 days?” asked AndrewSchneider. “It’s not the public policy I have

concerns about, it’s the process. There’snothing wrong with saying that while wesupport what is being said, we don’t likehow it was done here.”

“I don’t think this will magically solve thestreet parking problem and there’s nothingto say it will support businesses,” said Com-mission member Garrett McGuire. “We’relooking at something we don’t have the in-formation on.”

Others, like Chairman Chris Slatt, werenot as dead set on having a completed datasurvey before making a decision.

“I’m a data guy,” said Slatt, “but it’s ludi-crous to have an opportunity to move some-where in the right direction and not takeit.”

However, the majority on the commissionagreed that while they didn’t disapprove ofthe increase, there was insufficient infor-mation to warrant immediate approval. Thecommission passed a motion that called onthe County Board to defer of all action re-garding the meter fare and hours increaseuntil more community conversations can beheld on the topic. The meter increases willbe brought to the County Board on April18.

“I was very pleased and surprised withthe results,” said Orlando. “I feel like whatI came here to get done actually happened.They voted to defer for the right reasons,they really stood up for this, it wasn’t justlip service. I don’t know what’s going tohappen in the long run, but tonight, I’mexcited.”

ConnectionOpinion

The following elected officials and im-migration advocates expressed sup-port this week for Attorney General

Mark Herring’s decision to support targeted im-migration reform that “will increasestate tax revenue, enhance publicsafety, and help avoid tragic situa-tions in which parents are deportedaway from their U.S. citizen children.”

J. Walter Tejada, member of the Arling-ton County Board and recipient of the 2011Immigrant Advocate of the Year Award fromthe Capital Area Immigrant Rights Coalition:

“Virginia can no longer afford to delay theseneeded immigration reforms. Immigrants area huge part of our economy, and allowing themto come out of the shadows will help them cre-ate and secure good jobs, pay taxes, and be-come more included in our society. These re-forms will also continue the American tradi-tion of keeping families unified and not caus-ing incredible hardships by splitting them up.I appreciate Attorney General Herring’s lead-ership in standing up for the economic, social,and public safety benefits these reforms will

offer our state.”

Del. Alfonso Lopez (D-Arlington, Fairfax):“America’s immigration system is broken at

the Federal level. With the repeatedrefusal by Republicans in the U.S.House of Representatives to addressthis critical issue President Obama’s

reasonable administrative actions can only beviewed as sensible and appropriate. Beyond theissues of public safety and the moral impor-tance of keeping families together these ad-ministrative actions also make economic sense.The Council of Economic Advisors conserva-tively estimates that the administrative actionstaken by President Obama on immigration willraise the level of U.S. GDP between .4 percentover 10 years — equal to $90 billion in realGDP — and cut the Federal deficit by $25 bil-lion. These figures could go substantiallyhigher. I applaud Attorney General Herring forfiling the amicus brief supporting thePresident’s efforts to reform and improve thenation’s immigration system.”

Dae Joong Yoon, executive director of

NAKASEC (National Korean American Service& Education Consortium):

“We welcome Attorney General MarkHerring’s stance and announcement in supportof the President’s executive actions on DACAand DAPA, which would allow students in Vir-ginia to have access to affordable higher edu-cation and immigrant parents to continue tocontribute to Virginia but with a legal right towork that would allow for fair treatment. Ac-cording to the Center for American Progress,if DACA and DAPA are implemented, the U.S.gross domestic product would increase by $230billion and 28,814 jobs would be created overthe next 10 years. DACA and DAPA are goodfor America and Virginia.”

Edgar Aranda-Yanoc , president ofVACOLAO (Virginia Coalition of Latino Orga-nizations):

“The amicus brief is important to our com-munity because it strengthens the position ofthe President because the highest legal author-ity in the state supports DACA and DAPA forstudents and parents. Our community shouldunderstand that we will prevail.”

Supporting Herring’s Actions on Immigration

Every year is an election year in Vir-ginia. Here are a few examples thatdemonstrate that while elections areubiquitous in Virginia, they are nei-

ther simple nor unimportant. Wade in, a lotdepends on figuring this out and voting. Thisis not intended to be a comprehensivelist of candidates.

The choices begin April 23.Almost every state and local elected

office in Virginia will be in play. Demo-crats will choose their candidates in the pri-mary on June 9. Republicans will choose can-didates for individual offices at caucuses,firehouse primaries and conventions, begin-ning April 23 and finishing by June 9.

For example, the Republican candidate forSully District supervisor will be chosen in afirehouse primary on Saturday, April 25 atWestfield High School, with three candidatesseeking the nomination to replace retiringMichael Frey.

The three candidates are Brian Schoeneman,John Guevara and John Litzenberger, and thewinner will likely face Democrat Cathy Smithon Nov. 3. Smith is vacating her Sully DistrictSchool Board seat to run for Sully District su-pervisor.

This year’s elections begin May 5 with elec-tions in the Town of Vienna with three candi-dates vying for three positions on the ViennaTown Council. For more, see http://w w w. f a i r f a x c o u n t y. g o v / e l e c t i o n s /upcoming.htm .

There are similar chains of musical chairshappening in the Mount Vernon district, withDistrict Supervisor Gerry Hyland (D) retiring,

and Democrats Jack Dobbyn, Dan Storck,Candace Bennett and Tim Sargeant seeking theDemocratic nomination to replace him. Demo-crats will choose their candidate in a primaryJune 9 at usual polling places; Republicanshave scheduled a canvass on May 16 atSherwood Regional Library.

IN FAIRFAX COUNTY, all 10 members of theBoard of Supervisors are on the ballot includ-ing district members and the chairman. Also

on the ballot: all members of the SchoolBoard including district members andthree at-large members; ConstitutionalOfficers Sheriff, Clerk of Court and

Commonwealth’s Attorney; and three membersof the Northern Virginia Soil and Water Con-servation District Board Directors.

Every seat in the Virginia General Assemblywill be on the ballot, including all State Sen-ate and House of Delegates seats. With sev-eral key retirements, including Del. RobKrupicka (D), Del. Tom Rust (R) and Sen.Toddy Puller (D), it’s clear that there will besome change. Del. Scott Surovell (D) will giveup his seat to run for Puller’s Senate seat, sothe musical chairs continue.

IN ARLINGTON, the General Election on Nov.3. will include Virginia Senate (30th, 31st, and32nd Districts), Virginia House of Delegates(45th, 47th, 48th, and 49th Districts), CountyConstitutional Offices (Clerk of Court,Commonwealth’s Attorney, Sheriff, Commis-sioner of Revenue, and Treasurer), CountyBoard (two seats), and School Board. In Ar-lington, staggered terms on the County Boardand School Board mean that there are two seatson the County Board and one on School Boardup for election.

The Democratic party will select its nomi-

nees for County Board and House of Delegates,45th District, on Tuesday, June 9. Republicanswill select their nominees for all offices at partymeetings or caucuses, to be held at dates to beannounced. The Republican party has untilJune 9 to select nominees. Source: http://vote.arlingtonva.us/elections/

IN ALEXANDRIA, aside from the five Demo-cratic candidates seeking the nomination toreplace Krupicka, only one Democratic candi-date qualified for the primary ballot for Vir-ginia State Senate (30th and 35th Districts)and House of Delegates (46th District) and onlysix Democratic candidates qualified for theprimary ballot for City Council, so no prima-ries for those offices will be held.

In addition, only one Republican candidatequalified for Virginia State Senate (39th Dis-trict) so no primary for that office will be held.Source: http://www.alexandriava.gov/Elec-tions

The Republican Party will be nominating itscandidates for Mayor, City Council, VirginiaHouse of Delegates (45th and 46th District)and State Senate (30th and 35th District)through a party canvass. Check with the Alex-andria Republican City Committee for moreinformation,www.alexgop.org .

The Democratic Party will be nominating itscandidate for Virginia State Senate (39th Dis-trict) by a method other than a primary. Checkwith the Alexandria Democratic Committee formore information, www.alexdems.org .

Editorial


By Nathan Eberhart

Student at McKinley Elementary

This article was originally published in theMcKinley Elementary School newspaper.

Did you know that there is a fall-out shelter under McKinley? Afallout shelter is a room thatwas used in case of a nuclear

attack.Jim Murphy, of the Arlington Historical

Society, said that it was usually made ofthings like iron, brick, or cement. He addedthat they were in many public schools andbuildings. They were used during the ColdWar, which lasted from 1950 to around 1970.

“They were usually located under a build-ing,” he said.

You might have to stay in the fallout shel-ter for more than two weeks. Some falloutshelters could be used for around a yearand some could only be used for two weeksor so. Fallout shelters usually had food tolast a month. The reason you would stay ina fallout shelter for around a two weeks isbecause the radiation of the nuclear bombcould kill you so if you went outside andgot exposed to the radiation it might killyou.

Bob Smith, of the Office of Risk Manage-ment and Safety, Arlington Public Schools,said that there was a fallout shelter inMcKinley but it was repurposed or torn

down during remodeling.The fallout shelter is located near the gym

in a electrical room It used to run throughthe basement area of McKinley (around thegym). It went through the occupationaltherapy room OT/PT room and the electri-cal room. During the renovations in 1970it was reused and renamed as a electricalroom. In 1970 they added the gym so it isimpossible for the fallout shelter to be thegym. Inside the electrical room there is asecond room that has a few prints on thewall indicating that there were stairs com-ing down from the cafeteria into the fall-out shelter. There is a sealed trapdoor thatsupposedly leads to a crawl space.

The Connection

Local interior design enthusiastswill have an opportunity to toura much-anticipated unveiling thisweekend when the 2015 Design

House opens in McLean on Sunday, April12 at noon, with ticket sales benefiting theChildren’s National Health System.

The 8,869-square-foot home was built byArtisan Builders and designed by HarrisonDesign to look like an old American farm-house. Then, 24 local designers were cho-sen to design a room in the home — theeighth annual design house — using inspi-ration that ran the gamut from Americanart to the home’s natural surroundings.Organizers hope the varied styles will makethe home’s design appear to have evolvedover many years.

THE KITCHEN was designed by PaulLobkovich and Emily Neifeld, of LobkovichKitchen Designs in Tysons Corner. Antiquewhite walls accented by a custom hood inboth black and stainless steel create asimple, but elegant gathering space.

If this kitchen is the hub of a home’s ac-tivities, then the butler’s pantry is where thepreparation for those celebrations begins.That notion was the inspiration for Margery

Wedderburn’s design. “This butler’s pantryis the celebration of a good life,” saidWedderburn, of Margery Wedderburn Inte-riors, LLC in Vienna. “One enters the heartof the home, the kitchen and family room,through this butler’s pantry, so the room iscasually elegant, but doesn’t take itself tooseriously. It is happy, bright and fun.

“This home was designed to have a coun-

try farmhouse feeling, and we were inspiredby the architecture plus the Virginia coun-tryside,” she said, explaining that naturewas also a big inspiration. “We have thecasual green leaf wallpaper, plus we de-signed a custom, faux-wallpaper on the ceil-ing which looks just like repurposed wood.We bring the outdoors in with the green andblue tones of the space, including the fun

peacock color, which ties in with our pea-cock feathers in the umbrella stand.”

Even the chandelier is peacock, and theSisal rug features blue stenciling, whilegreen and blue stripes on the back of thecloset tie everything together. Meanwhile,accessories give the space a contemporaryfeel. “Because this area of McLean is so cos-mopolitan, we wanted to give a nod withstylish, hip vases, barware and details thatmove the space forward into the next de-cade while complimenting the past,” saidWedderburn.

Another active hub of the home is theback stair hallway, which connects all threefloors. Although it’s windowless, designerDavid Benton’s goal was to create a warm,welcoming and stylish space. “Using furni-ture, lighting and accents, we visually di-vided the hall into two zones,” said Bentonof RA Spaces, the interior division of RillArchitects in Potomac, Md. Benton evencreated a “virtual window” with a commis-sioned painting, “Old Dominion Sky.”

The first-floor space is accented with acustom, tufted bench and unexpected popsof color to create a formal space betweenthe butler’s pantry and dining room. “Thehall space that connects the garage, mud-room and kitchen is anchored by a consoletable and wool rug,” said Benton.

Nature was the inspirationfor Margery Wedderburn’sdesign of the butler’spantry.

Open shelving and a built-indesk offer additional display areas.Benton finished the space with achandelier by Circa Lighting andphoto art. Those accessories “de-liver fresh takes on period furnish-ing,” said Benton. “The classicEames bright blue fiberglass shellchair introduces an unexpectedAmericana twist.”

“Like the house, which feels likeit has been added to over time, wewanted the interior to feel like anacquired collection of pieces,” saidBenton. “The useful storage benchand custom sweater rug give thespace warmth and style. The funand inexpensive swag light is an-other way we added flair and util-ity.”

INSPIRED BY A SAILING TRIPthrough the fjords of New Zealandand by the bright oil-on-canvaspainting, “Mountains and Sea,”designer Lisa Tureson, of StudioArtistica in Oak Hill, created apowder room that she said re-sembles “a little art gallery.”

Tureson hung a custom, hand-etched mirror and eight paintingsin the space. “My goal was to cre-ate a pictorial space since I’m anartist and painter,” she said. “Thesubtle sparkle on the walls … addspizzazz.”

When designing the roomknown as the gentleman’s retreat,

Scott Cooke, of Scott Cooke De-sign in Alexandria, wanted to“honor the architecture of thehouse itself, with a room that’srustic in nature, and that feels insync with the time period thehouse evokes,” he said.

From the wooden poster bedand canopy to the rug and art,Cooke used neutral hues through-out the room. He drew inspirationfrom the home of the late fashiondesigner Bill Blass, which was,“done in a monochromatic colorstory ranging from white andparchment, to caramel, chocolate,espresso and black,” said Cooke.

Transforming this grand houseinto a home was a mammoth un-dertaking, but one designers saywas well worth the effort.

“It is an honor to be a part ofthis amazing group of designers,”said Wedderburn. “The great thingabout the group is that everyoneis wonderful and helpful to eachother. There is a special camara-derie here and we are all drawinginspiration off each other.”

Back-to-back goals by KieranBurns gave the Washington-Lee boys’ lacrosse team afirst-quarter lead.

Jackson Newsome’s second goal tiedthe score early in the second quarter.

The Generals’ use of a zone defensehelped keep the score close during thefirst half.

Washington-Lee hung around forawhile on Monday against Madison,a program that reached the statechampionship game in 2013. But af-ter the Warhawks adjusted, Madisoncruised in the second half and kept itsundefeated record intact.

Head coach Chris Corey and the Washington-Lee boys’ lacrosse team areoff to a 1-3 start.

for approximately a quarter-and-a-half,”Corey said, “and then they called timeoutand made a really good adjustment to it.”

With W-L’s top two goalies out, midfielderPhelan Burns was forced into the role ofthird-string goalie, and finished with 11saves.

“I couldn’t have expected that level [ofperformance],” Corey said. “He definitelyoverachieved.”

Offensively, Kieran Burns and Newsomeeach produced a hat trick. The seniors areteam captains and the Generals’ leadingscorers.

“They’re definitely program-type players,”Corey said. “They’re our team captains;they’re the guys who put the effort inthrough other season beyond ours. They’reeverything that I want out of a player.”

Walter Schutz scored two goals for theGenerals and Tate Fitzmaurice scored one.

The loss dropped W-L’s record to 1-3,while Madison improved to 4-0.

“As a program, their talent level exceedsours,” Corey said, “but I thought that oureffort matched or exceeded theirs and al-lowed us to remain competitive.”

Washington-Lee will host Hayfield at 7:15p.m. on Thursday, April 9 and will competein a tournament on Saturday.

“Almost every year, we’re sort of likeunmolded clay,” Corey said. “We have acouple pieces who are those dedicated,year-round players, and then we have whatwe hope are complementary players. Whenwe start a season, it’s an expectation thatwe’re a work in progress. As we movethroughout the season, continue to playtogether, practice, I hope that we realize ourpotential toward the end of the year.”

The Warhawks defeated the Gener-als 16-9 on April 6 at Washington-LeeHigh School. Madison led 5-4 when theWarhawks called timeout with 8:09remaining in the first half. Madisonscored three more times before the endof the second quarter, and led by asmany as 10 goals in the second half.

W-L HEAD COACH CHRIS COREYsaid the Generals used a zone defensewith the intent of stopping Madisonstandout Cheech McLallen, who scoredthe Warhawks’ first three goals.

Jimmy McKay knew it would be fun to volun-teer at the 20th Annual Northern VirginiaSpecial Olympics Basketball Invitational Tour-

nament on Saturday, April 4, at Marymount Univer-sity.

“But I had no idea just how exciting it would beuntil I saw the look on those player’s faces,” saidMcKay, a second year graduate student in the de-partment of physical therapy.

McKay served as the announcer for all the gamesin the main gym at the school’s Rose Benté Lee Cen-ter, where he said the energy level was infectious.

About 100 athletes with special needs from Arling-ton and Fairfax counties participated in the event,sponsored by Marymount’s office of community en-gagement. More than 250 MU students volunteeredto help. During opening ceremonies, state Sen. Bar-bara Favola (Arlington) presented Marymount Presi-dent Matthew D. Shank with a certificate of com-mendation from the Commonwealth of Virginia, rec-ognizing Marymount’s 20 years of organizing andhosting the tournament.

Suzanne Carson, who works in the library atMarymount, said her 25-year-old son, BenjaminCarson, has played Special Olympics basketball since

he was 12.“For the whole group we work with, the entire sea-

son leads up to Marymount Day,” she said. “We’reblessed and fortunate that it’s here in Arlington.”

Ashlee Courter-Rogers, coach of the Marymountwomen’s basketball team, said her players want tobe involved every year.

“It’s an amazing experience being around athleteswho play purely for the love of the game,” Courter-Rogers said. “And it’s really an eye-opener for ourfreshmen to see what a close-knit community we havehere.”

A former Marymount player who volunteered atthe event during her playing days, Courter- Rogerssaid the Saints love the relationships that develop.

“The players give us hugs when they see us, andwe catch up from last year,” she said. After one yearof announcing the games, McKay said he was hooked.He added that the event speaks volumes aboutMarymount’s commitment to service.

“So many students came together on a Saturdayto do something for someone else,” he said. “But tobe honest, I think we all got a lot more out of it thanwe put into it. This tournament is really somethingspecial for everyone involved.”

Marymount students and Special Olympic athletes both look forward to the annualbasketball tournament on campus.

By KENNETH B. LOURIE

The FactIs Not YetThe Matter

I don’t know which is worse: the extra-special, extra-expensive, dental cleaning(the kind that requires Novocain andinvolves the actual dentist, not merely thehygienist) that I have scheduled for April 8th– or my next hopefully-not-do-or-die CTScan, moved up a month from my usualthree-month interval because of a suspi-cious formation seen on my most recentscan back in mid-February. Either way, thenext two Wednesdays following by the fort-night Friday, April 24th appointment withmy oncologist – to discuss the scan resultsfrom the 15th, should be noteworthy in thelife of this cancer patient.

To think that my cancer-affected life isgoing to just roll along with nary a blip inassessment, treatment, protocol, scheduling,availability, etc., is both totally unrealisticand wishful thinking of the highest naiveté.And if anything can be said about yourstruly, it is that I am well aware of, and rea-sonably well adjusted to, the slings andarrows of outrageous misfortune with whichI have been forced to live, live being theapplicable word, these last-six-going-on-seven years.

Given that symptoms I’ve felt previously– or not felt previously – have, on varyingoccasions, been positive and negative, feel-ing or not feeling has never been a sure-fireindicator of anything. As an example, onetime I felt a pain in my chest/lungs (where Iknow the biggest tumor is located); it turnedout to be scar tissue growing over a shrink-ing tumor, a good result. Another time, thesame pain/same area indicated the tumorwas growing, a bad thing. In general, feelingsomething has sometimes meant nothingand feeling nothing has sometimes meantsomething – and vice versa. I wouldn’t say Iwas damned if I did and damned if I didn’t,but I would say – with apologies to OliverHardy: It’s a damned fine mess in which Ifind myself so regularly entangled. Andapparently, from what I understand, theonly thing likely to change in the future isnothing. And as fortunate as I am, com-pared to so many others who have suc-cumbed to this terrible disease, beingpresent and discussing even a problematicfuture – six years post-diagnosis – is as goodas it gets for a patient originally diagnosedwith a terminal form of cancer: stage IV, nonsmall cell lung cancer. Still, it doesn’t (and Imean never) minimize the stress.

Somehow, managing this process/ experi-ence has to include a methodology for man-aging expectations and minimizing thatstress. Moreover, anything one can do tolighten the load emotionally, and build insome positive reinforcement and words-to-the-maybe-not-so wise, goes a long waytoward accomplishing some level of relativepeace and perhaps even a little quiet.

Of course, the process is Imperfect –with a capital “I.” There are always baddays; you just want your share of goodones, too. Acknowledging what you can’tcontrol and being grateful for what you canhelps to compartmentalize and find thatbalance between living in the present anddying in the future. Some days, doing“normal” things – like visiting the dentist,seem to help. Other days, it feels pointless.Oddly enough, it all sort of mirrors mysymptom history: it matters, it matters not. Ijust hope that on April 24th, the mattersdon’t hit the fan.
