The Connection

Starting in September,Arlingtonians hoping for on-street parking should beginsaving those extra quarters.

In a unanimous vote at its May 16 meet-ing, the County Board approved a 25cent-per-hour increase in metered park-ing rates. However, the board deferreda vote on the more controversial exten-sion of operating hours until it receivesa more detailed analysis of theextension’s effects.

The new maximum hourly rate formetered long-term parking (four hoursor more) will increase from $1 per hourto $1.25, while the maximum short-term hourly rate will increase from$1.25 to $1.50.

“We do need to do an assessment ofexisting conditions,” said Parking Man-ager Michael Connor, “and while it’shealthy to look at what our adjacent[communities] are doing, it’s more im-portant to look internally at what we’redoing.”

Connor said the core issue driving themeter increase is that the on-streetparking increase is much less expensivethan the empty parking garages. Connorsaid the meter increases are part of an ef-fort to drive more Arlingtonians into thenearby garages. In Arlington, off-streetparking varies from $4 to $6 hourly or $110to $175 monthly. These rates are lower thanD.C.’s, whose garages regularly charge $6to $12 hourly or $160 to $320 monthly.Garage parking in neighbouring Alexandriaranges from $2.5 to $8 hourly or $170 to$200 monthly. Meanwhile, Arlington’s onstreet $1 short-term parking is a full dollarcheaper than D.C.’s $2 on street parking.

The new $1.25 rate will bring it closer toAlexandria’s $1.75 per hour but will stillleave Arlington the cheapest in the regionfor on-street parking.

The more controversial vote was the ex-tension of metered hours. Currently, Arling-ton parking meters are in effect from 8 a.m.to 6 p.m. However, the proposed actionwould extend meter hours until 8 p.m.While the meter increase was unanimouslyapproved by the Transportation Commis-sion, at the group’s April 2 meeting, the

meter hours were deferred until moreinformation could be presented on cur-rent parking capabilities.

At a second Transportation Commis-sion meeting, the meter extensionpassed in a 7-2 vote.

“On street parking is a finite re-source, so pricing is what we use inorder to efficiently allocate that,” saidChris Slatt, chairman of the ArlingtonTransportation Commission. “By notenforcing meters during peak demand,we’re effectively giving away this valu-able resource for free, so we shouldn’tbe surprised when we run out.

According to Connor, the proposedmeter extensions aim to reduce the 85-100 percent parking capacity found inparts of the county during the 6-8 p.m.time frame.

“We believe this is driven by a com-bination of restaurant employees whofeed the meter for two hours,” saidConnor, “and residents who, uponcoming home, decide not to park in thegarage because a space is free on thestreet.”

However, Connor acknowledged thatconfirmation of this theory is contin-gent on the results of the ongoingmeter performance study scheduled forcompletion by the end of June. Accord-

ing to Connor, the next stage of testing willlook at turnover and duration of car staysin on-street parking.

“I don’t think we’re done [studying this]and I’m reluctant to approve an increase inhours while we’re still in the developmentphase,” said County Board member JohnVihstadt.

County Board member Jay Fisette alsoexpressed concerns that the parking hoursextension was being considered withoutworking to find a solution with the localbusiness community. Fisette referenced pre-

vious deals between federal departmentsformerly located in the region, like Depart-ment of Homeland Security, and local busi-nesses to allow usage of the department’sgarages on nights and weekends.

Following the vote, members of the busi-ness community expressed mixed feelingstowards the decision.

“The meter rate increase is inevitable andit’s sensible,” said Greg Cahill, president ofthe Clarendon Business Association. “Butextending the meter hours later will be det-rimental. More people are going to get tick-ets and they can go to other places wherethey won’t, like Tyson’s. That’s bad for lo-cal business.”

Cahill also listed alternative plans for theCounty Board to consider, including test-ing an entirely free parking program in thearea and taxing the additional sales. Cahillagreed with Connor’s assessment that em-ployees park and feed the meter until after6 p.m. But like Fisette, Cahill said he be-lieves local businesses could reach a dealwith nearby garages to arrange a discountedrate for employee parking. Cahill also saidmany restaurants would be interested inpromoting local garages or having a dis-count program.

The Connection

Some few years ago, JanetRowe attended a law en-forcement officer conven-

tion in Pittsburgh and was im-pressed with that city’s police mu-seum. On another occasion, shecame across a book telling the his-tory of the Alexandria Police De-partment. Nothing comparableexisted for Arlington’s police de-partment. She bided her time andthis year took a first step in rem-edying the situation. “ArlingtonCounty Police Department” is nowon booksellers’ shelves.

Rowe served as a police officerin Arlington from 1981 to retire-

ment in 2012. Since she had twoyears experience in California be-fore completing the local policeacademy, it was “out the academydoor” and “directly on patrol.” Shelaughs imagining the scene in atraffic situation with her dress bentout of shape by all the leather belt-ing, including a holster.

Rowe never took a promotionexamination and remained a pa-trol officer for her career. Shecould not bear to sit behind a desk

and give up the daily and ever-changing encounters with realpeople on the street and in theirhomes and businesses.

Time passed and she wound upmarrying a fellow officer on theArlington force, having a familyand seeing one child join theFairfax County Police Department.Rowe thinks her son joined thatdepartment “to avoid competingwith Mom.” Law enforcementroots also include her parole of-ficer father. With a laugh, she con-fides that the handsome youngactors in uniform on the televisionshow “Adam-12” may have had asubstantial influence on her careerchoice.

Rowe’s tenure included

lowlights, middle-lights and high-lights. The worst time was 9-11,and being one of the many on dutyalmost non-stop for three weekswhen the aircraft hit the Pentagon.

The best time was being recalledto active duty for five months fol-lowing the hubbub of retirement,while the department waited forthe next class to graduate from theacademy.

Middle-lights were the manytimes she, often with other offic-ers, could do something to helpindividuals; in other words, the“serve” part of “protect and serve.”One instance involved grandpar-ents who shoplifted in companywith their 10-year-old grandson

Flourishing after 55

The Connection

If residents are having a difficult timedifferentiating between the platformsof the five Democratic candidates run-ning for the 45th district delegate

seat, they are not alone. In the penultimatedebate for the Democratic primary, candi-dates expressed frustration at echoing thepolicy stances made by their peers. In thedebate on May 31, hosted by the MountVernon Democrats, candidates attempted toseparate their campaigns from their peersby focusing on their priorities. In this, somedifferences began to emerge.

Julie Jakopic said her top priority is earlychildhood education, specifically ensuringthat all families have access to pre-K pro-grams. Craig Fifer likewise cited access topre-k education was his campaign priority.As with the other candidates, Fifer said itwas difficult to narrow his campaign to oneissue, but said access to pre-K is one of theeasiest positions to push as non-partisanlegislation. Larry Altenburg noted that hispriority is also on education, but that saidthat his focus was less on pre-k programsand more on reducing testing for K-12 stu-dents.

Candidates Mark Levine and ClarenceTong differentiated themselves by focusingon non-education related issues. For Levine,the most crucial issue in his platform is anincrease in the Virginia minimum wage, andsaid raising the $2.13 wage for jobs withtips as a sub-focus. Tong said that expand-ing Medicaid in Virginia was his top prior-ity, but acknowledged that it would seem

impossible without more Democrats in theVirginia legislature. However, Tong refer-enced Medicaid expansion in Montana asan example of a Republican majority statemanaging to find some way of compromis-ing on health care expansion.

All of the candidates agreed on the needto improve and expand Route 1. Each can-didate expressed their disapproval of Gov.Terry McAuilffe’s authorization of oil drill-ing off along Virginia’s coast and expressedapproval of offshore wind farms.

All of the candidates disagreed with theso-called “King’s Dominion Law,” which pro-hibits schools from starting before LaborDay, but there were variations as the con-versation shifted into the length of theschool year.

Jakopic stated that she believed that thedetermination of school year length shouldbe made by the local school districts, butadded that she was personally not in favorof starting the school year before Labor Day.Levine agreed with the local control overschool year length, but added that he didn’tthink there was anything sacred about wait-ing until Labor Day to begin the school year.Altenburg took the discussion one step fur-ther and argued that there were benefits toremoving summer vacation entirely, particu-larly a reduction in “summer learning loss,”the loss of academic skills and knowledgefrom educational inactivity over the sum-mer. Altenburg was also the only candidate

who expressed approval of a bill that re-moves the state’s ability to review and ad-just Dominion Virginia Power’s base elec-tricity rates until 2022, saying that the billensured that Dominion Power would pro-vide support for clean air.

The relatively small venue of the debate,the main room of an Alexandria condo-minium, meant the debate was attended bymore campaign volunteers than voters, allof whom were able to ask questions to thecandidates. Dick Kennedy, a member of theboard of directors for the Virginia branchof the National Organization for the Reformof Marijuana Laws, asked whether the can-didates would support the legalization ofmarijuana. Fifer, Tong, and Altenburg ex-pressed support for decriminalization forthe drug. Jakopic supported legalization onthe condition that taxes from the sale beput into substance abuse treatment. Levine

supported full and unconditional legaliza-tion, expressing personal disdain for smok-ing, but saying that marijuana should betreated in a similar fashion to alcohol. Fol-lowing the debate, Kennedy said he wasmost supportive of Levine’s platform on theissue, but was content that all of the candi-dates had given thoughtful answers.

“I liked the [debate] format,” said KenSharma, the vice chair of voter registrationfor the Fairfax County Democratic Commit-tee. “It was more of a discussion than a de-bate.”

“I came here knowing a couple of the can-didates,” said John Mathes, a volunteer atthe debate, “But I was super impressed withall five.”

The Democratic Primary will be held onJune 9. By which any Republican or Inde-pendent candidates for the 45th District seatmust also register.

Opinion

The death rate due to heroin over-dose more than doubled between2010 through 2013, according tothe Centers for Disease Control

(CDC), with an average increase of 37percent per year in the United States.

What the statistics don’t say is thatmost of these deaths are preventablenearly to the last breath. Heroin and otheropioids affect the part of the brain which regu-lates breathing, and opioids in high doses cancause respiratory depression and death.

Naloxone, which is effectively an antidoteto opioid overdose, will completely reverse theeffects of an opioid overdose if administeredin time.

Emylee Lonczak, a McLean teenager whodied of an overdose in what was reported tobe her first encounter with heroin, might stillbe alive if the people with her at the time hadtaken her to a hospital or called 911.

New legislation designed to protect peopleseeking help for friends experiencing overdoseshould make it simpler to do the right thing.

State Sen. Chap Petersen sponsored the bill,Safe Reporting of Overdoses, which was signedby Gov. Terry McAuliffe last week.

“The next step is to get the word out to youngpeople: If a friend is in distress, you have aresponsibility and now you have legal protec-

tions. Do the right thing. Make a call to save alife,” said Petersen said after the Governorsigned the bill.

The law also applies to alcohol overdoses.Petersen collaborated with a Fairfax HighSchool classmate, Gerald Lawson, now a pro-fessor at Virginia Tech, in pressing for protec-tion for Good Samaritans in these circum-stances.

The Food and Drug Administration last yearapproved a hand-held auto-injector designed

for family and caregivers who might bewitness to an overdose to administer asingle dose of the drug naloxone.

intoxication in public; or (iii) the unlawful purchase,possession, or consumption of alcohol if such indi-vidual sought or obtained emergency medicalattention for himself or for another individual becauseof a drug-related or alcohol-related overdose and if theevidence for the charge was obtained as a result of theindividual seeking or obtaining emergency medicalattention.

The bill provides that the affirmative defense mayonly be invoked by an individual who (a) remains atthe scene of the overdose or at any location to whichhe is transported for emergency medical attention untila law-enforcement officer responds to the report of anoverdose or, if no law-enforcement officer is presentat either the scene or the other location, cooperateswith law enforcement, (b) identifies himself to theresponding law-enforcement officer, and (c) cooper-ates, upon request, with any criminal investigationreasonably related to the drug or alcohol that resultedin the overdose.

Thanks for the great article onReevesland [“Arlington History forSale,” May 27].

I lived in nearby Bluemont fornearly 25 years and am verypleased to see this useful old relicof yesteryear get its due consider-ation.

Arlington County Public Schoolstudents have to be bused way outto past Gainesville for the OutdoorLab. Restoring (partially orwholly) a dairy operation wouldprovide a real and wonderful“laboratory” right here.

TWO POOR TEACHERSKitchen and Bathroom Remodeling

Schools

By Emily Rabbitt

The Connection

Fallon Keplinger, or Ms K., as hermiddle school students and fellowteachers call her, has only been atThomas Jefferson Middle School

in Arlington since October 2014, but she’sjumped in with both feet. Her modern-dayVictory Garden has brought the school com-munity together in a variety of ways.

It started, like a lot of inspirational ven-tures, with a simple requirement, “I neededto get my kids out of the classroom,”Keplinger said. Her middle school studentshave a range of intellectual disabilities, anddon’t always thrive when inside for longperiods of time.

She asked for a plot in the garden thathas been in various stages of developmentfor the last few years, and stocked it withdonations from Cultivate the City andGeorge Mason Organic Gardens. With walk-ways made with the help of the tech ed pro-gram and found disassembled pickle crates(insects have an aversion to vinegar), sheestimates the start-up cost has been around$15.

Her students have quicklymade it one of their favoriteaspects of the Life Skills cur-riculum she teaches. Theyhave a collection of heirloomtomatoes that would makeany farmer’s market aficio-nado covetous. The childrenhave researched the varietiesand planted them throughoutthe patch of land.

The Thomas Jeffersonschool already had the gardenspace on its campus. The areacontinues to evolve, andKeplinger’s class is anothernew use of the outdoor cam-pus. Last year, a planningcommittee put together a wish list, includ-ing more outdoor seating and creative ad-ditions to the space including an entrywaydesigned by a former student and cultur-ally significant areas that would reflect thestudent population.

Keplinger’s students have disabilities thatprevent them from participating in the sameclasses and activities as students in the gen-eral population. This can lead them to beseparated from the school community. Thegardening project has tapped into the in-terdisciplinary nature of Thomas Jefferson’sprogramming and created opportunities for

the children to work with different groupsmore often.

Fellow teacher Emily Calhoun’s class hasassisted Keplinger’s class with the garden,and Calhoun has been delighted at the re-sults. Her class is comprised of students withautism, and she has been intrigued andpleased by the interactions she’s seen be-tween the two groups of students. Her stu-dents develop patience and empathy work-ing with Keplinger’s students, and the team-work has led to friendships being forgedbetween the two classrooms.

The two classes took a trip to the botani-

cal gardens in Washington,D.C., practicing such lifeskills as getting bus andmetro cards and navigatingthe train system, while tak-ing in the exhibits and see-ing extreme gardening in ac-tion.

The interaction betweenKeplinger’s class and the restof the school communitydoesn’t stop there. DeborahMohammed, coordinator ofthe International Baccalau-reate Program, shows thearea maps math classes inthe IB program have created.Color coded to show the dif-

ferent plantings, the area maps were cre-ated for Keplinger’s students as the “clients,”to choose their layout. As she showed offthe plans the students had drawn up,Mohammed said of Keplinger and the gar-den project, “she has been the inspiration,going for it,” and says that other staff mem-bers and students have eagerly joined in,“can we join you,” has been the prevailingsentiment.

Sometimes, Keplinger said, “FarmerJohn,” a local gardening enthusiast whovolunteers his time, will help with the Vic-tory Garden and the students’ plantings.

Fallon Keplinger and her class use a garden at Thomas Jefferson MiddleSchool for out-of-classroom lessons.

Students researched the varieties of tomato plants and planted themthroughout a patch of land at Thomas Jefferson Middle School.

Barbara Januszkiewicz wants people tohave the “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” HollyGolightly experience at the new 34zero9Gallery in Arlington. Much like the Tiffany’swindow in the opening scene of the 1961classic, a large glass window lends an open-ness to the 60-square-foot space, so that “any-body can walk by and see the artwork,” shesaid.

Januszkiewicz was trained by Chinesemaster Mun Quan in the ’70s. However, shesaid, “the work I was doing was very com-mon, but good. I could draw with both hands,upside down, but I had no passion.” Parisianjazz clubs inspired her to approach her artdifferently. She now makes art inspired bymusic, mostly jazz, with watercolors and

acrylics.The space is part of a nest of studios in the

rear of the Arc 3409 condo building on theeastern side of the 9th street extension. The“micro-gallery” will rotate the work ofJanuszkiewicz and her studio-mates, John M.Adams, Matthew Grimes, and Paula Bryan.

The four, who operate independently ofeach other, plan on collaborating enough tohold regular open houses, and give the gal-lery some level of 24-hour access with workfor show and for sale.

Grimes, who works with clay, but mostlyproduces multimedia collages of varied sizesout of his studio space at 34zero9, hopes thatthe gallery will bring people into the studioexperience. His work is inspired by and con-structed with street flyers from Chile.

“What’s great about the gallery is that ithas constraints. Immediately you’re hit withthe size constraints. But then, as artists, allwe do is creatively problem solve…,” saidGrimes. Once it’s set up and you see the di-versity of work that’s in there you see it asthis great little geode if you will. It’ll stopyou.”

It’s a familiar call. Thesun beams down frommid-summer sky.Temperatures rise

above 95 degrees Fahren-heit, but safety conditionsstart to plummet.

“People will have beenwalking on the mall all dayand then go to ArlingtonNational Cemetery to watchthe Changing of the Guardand they start to feel light-headed and dizzy,” said Lt.Sarah-Maria Marchegiani,spokeswoman for the Ar-lington County Fire Depart-ment. “The times that I’veresponded, they usuallyhave only one small waterbottle with them and they’vebeen in the heat all day. It’soften tourists, but peoplewho live here, too.”

While summer ushers in vacations, trips to the pool,barbeques and fireworks it also brings the potentialfor safety hazards. From recreational water illnessto heat-related illnesses, summer fun can turn into anightmare. Public health and safety officials haveseveral tips for lessening summer safety risks.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE SPIKES, so does therisk of heat-related illnesses. Lengthy exposure to 90-plus degree heat can lead to heat stroke, heat ex-haustion cramping and, in extreme cases, death.

“Heatstroke can occur when the ability to sweatfails and the body temperature rises quickly,” saidKenya Fluellen, associate professor of nursing atNorthern Virginia Community College. “The brainand vital organs are affected as the body tempera-ture rises to a dangerous level.”

In addition to wearing loose-fitting clothes that are light incolor and taking breaks from theheat and drinking two to fourglasses of water for every hourone is exposed to high heat,health officials say applyingsunscreen, limiting physical ac-tivity and wearing a hat or using an umbrella to blockdirect sunlight should also be added to the list ofsummer safety precautions.

“People can underestimate the power of the heat.Safety is always our number one priority,” saidMarchegiani. “If you have an elderly neighbor oranyone with mobility issues, check on them, espe-cially when we have a storm and the power goesout.”

WHILE STRATEGIES for beating the heat includetrips to the pool and water parks, these cool-downactivities come with health precautions. Being awareof the potential for spreading germs can prevent rec-reational water illnesses, which can occur as a resultof swallowing or having other contact with contami-nated water.

Health officials advise swimmers to shower withsoap before entering a pool, take bathroom breaksonce per hour and take a rinse shower before re-turning to the water.

Washing your hands after changing diapers or us-ing the restroom and checking a child’s diapers ev-ery half-hour to an hour are tips that are also ad-vised.

Water safety is another summer concern. “Enrollchildren over the age of three in swimming lessons,”said Fluellen. “Don’t rely on lifeguards to watch overyour children.”

INSECTS ARE ANOTHER summer sighting thatcan be a prelude to danger. In fact, the Fairfax CountyBoard of Supervisors proclaimed June at Fight theBite Awareness Month. One bite from a disease-car-

rying mosquito or tick can leadto life-changing illnesses such asWest Nile virus or Lyme disease.

“Anyone can get infected withthese illnesses, but people overthe age of 50 are at greater ofdeveloping more severe forms,”said Joshua Smith, FairfaxCounty environmental health

supervisor. “We can find mosquitoes with West Nilevirus anywhere in the county that is why we encour-age people to take precautions.”

Those safety measures include eliminating stand-ing water, treating standing water and spraying youryard. Using an insect repellent containing DEET, re-maining indoors at dawn and early evening, and in-stalling, repairing or replacing screens on both win-dows and doors to keep insects outdoors are alsorecommended.

“It is important to use common sense, stay hydratedand respect Mother Nature,” said Kurt Larrick,spokesman for the Arlington County Department ofHuman Services. “And some groups are more at risk[such as] infants, teens, older adults, and those withcertain health conditions.”

Tips for averting summer danger.

Meeting on Transforming I-66The Virginia Department of Transportation, in partnership with

the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation, willhost a public information meeting on June 17, 6:30-8:30 pm atCentral Library, 1015 N Quincy St., for the “Transform 66 Insidethe Beltway Project.” The project involves converting the exist-ing I-66 High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes to High OccupancyToll (HOT) lanes in both directions during morning and after-noon peak travel periods between I-495 (the Capital Beltway)and U.S. Route 29 in Rosslyn, and a series of multimodal im-provements.

Vehicles with three or more people (HOV-3) will travel the lanesfor free during peak hours, while vehicles with fewer than threeoccupants must pay a toll. Toll prices will be based on trafficvolume within the corridor.

Emergency Repairs for BridgePrior to morning rush hour on Friday, May 29, the National

Park Service, at the recommendation of Federal Highway Admin-istration, closed both curbside lanes and 4 feet of the adjoiningsidewalks across the drawbridge span of Arlington MemorialBridge and posted a 10-ton load limit across the entire length ofthe bridge. The lane closures will remain in effect until emer-gency repairs are complete. The load restriction, which will elimi-nate most bus traffic, will remain in effect indefinitely.

During a routine annual inspection of Arlington MemorialBridge, FHA engineers identified a corroded area. The follow-upevaluation revealed that secondary load-bearing support beams,located at the drawbridge span, are corroding at a faster ratethan anticipated and no longer meet load-bearing standards. Theinspection also revealed significant deterioration of the concretedeck.

Repair work is expected to begin in July and last 6-9 months.

NAMI-Arlington Honors FourState Sen. Barbara Favola (D-Arlington) leads the list of four

Arlingtonians selected to receive NAMI-Arlington 2015 Recogni-tion Awards for their efforts to improve services to those livingwith mental illness. Favola, a former member of the ArlingtonCounty Board, was saluted for her legislation which, if enacted,sets new training criteria and restrictions on the use of seclusionand restraint by schools throughout Virginia.

❖ Asef-Joseph, chair of the Arlington Special Education Advi-sory Committee, which advocates for school children with spe-cial needs, including mental illness, for her work with schooladministrators and policy makers on special needs issues.

❖ Best, for establishing a support group for parents of schoolchildren with mental illness and for providing parents with toolsfor the challenges they face.
