In addition to a $250,000 settlementto the victim, the Arlington CountySheriff ’s Office will be forced to

implement $300,000 worth of newequipment and policy changes after fail-ing to provide adequate communicationservices to Abreham Zemedagegehu, adeaf Ethiopian man.

Zemedagegehu was arrested in 2014for stealing an iPad based on an accusa-tion that was later recanted.Zemedagegehu was held in Arlington’sjail for six months. Zemedagegehu can-not read or write in English and had re-

quested access to an American sign lan-guage interpreter or other video communi-cation services, but was denied.

Now, as part of the settlement, ChiefDeputy Paul Larson said the ArlingtonCounty Sheriff ’s Office is working throughAmericans with Disabilities Act (ADA) com-pliance standards to make sure this situa-tion doesn’t happen again.

Much of the cost went to installing a wire-less network throughout the jail. The projectwas already underway to assist with recordsmanagement, but Larson said the lawsuitforced the Sheriff’s Office to broaden the

coverage to allow easier communicationthroughout the facility.

The Sheriff’s Office’s reforms are in fourstages: those that will be implementedwithin 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and 120days.

Larson said the Sheriff ’s Office alreadymeets many of the 30-day requirements,like having an ADA coordinator. In earlyfall, staff at the Sheriff ’s Office also un-derwent new training for handling inmateswith disabilities. Other implementationsare new, like increased signage through-out the facility.

The Sheriff’s Office will also have toprovide optional armbands to inmateswho are deaf or hard of hearing. Larsonsays the armbands are in stock but thatthe policy for them is still being devel-oped.

Some of the longer term improvementsinclude changes to the inmate handbookto inform deaf or hard of hearing inmatesof their rights and the facility policies aswell as a video to help those inmates un-derstand the booking process.

Settlement Prompts Reforms at Sheriff’s Office

Nearly 50 people crammed intoa room at The Jefferson Ho-tel in Virginia Square de-signed to fit no more than 30.

At the Nov. 28 meeting of the Ballston-Vir-ginia Square Civic Association meeting, itwas standing room only with overflow intothe nearby hallways to hear a few detailsabout upcoming projects in the area.

SAFETY UPDATEOfficer Patrick Smithgall from the Arling-

ton Police Department stopped by the meet-ing to share an update on crime and safetyin the Ballston area. According to Smithgall,package thefts and burglaries are on therise, which he said is fairly common duringthe holiday season. Smithgall remindedresidents to lock their doors when they leavefor work as most robberies happen duringthe day.

On Nov. 26, there was a shooting in theBuckingham neighborhood near Ballston.Smithgall said three men approached thevictim and brandished a firearm. He resistedand was shot in the leg. Smithgall remindedresidents that, if approached by someonewith a firearm asking to hand over valu-ables, the best course of action is to do so.

OAKLAND PARKOakland Park is a small park identified

by a survey of local residents as mostly be-ing a walk-through to the nearby VirginiaSquare Metro Station. A new plan throughthe Arlington Department of Parks and Rec-reation seeks to maintain the trees and openspace that currently define the park, butmake adjustments to bring it within com-pliance with the Americans with Disabili-ties Act while adding seating and moregreenery.

According to Shannon Early, a landscapearchitect for Arlington County, the mainfocus of the project is paving the paththrough the center of the park. The paththrough the park is too narrow, muddy, and

is not compliant with the Americans withDisabilities Act regulations. Early said theproject will include new movable benchesand picnic tables around the site and moretree plantings.

Early said Arlington parks are not typi-cally lit, and while there’s a possibility so-lar lights might be installed to illuminatethe walkway, Early said it’s not a budgetpriority.

The timeline for the park renovation isflexible. Early said she would like for con-struction to start within the next year butthat it was uncertain at this point. Oncestarted, Early said construction at the parkwould likely take four months. The projectis budgeted at $800,000 from the Neigh-borhood Conservation Funding.

UNITED METHODISTREDEVELOPMENT

There are a number of goals for the Cen-tral United Methodist Church’s redevelop-ment. The plan seeks to increase the site’spre-school capacity while maintaining com-munity space and affordable housing.

It was small business Saturday in Ar-lington, and nowhere was the urgeto create a business — and have itthrive — more apparent than at the

Arlington Farmer’s and Flea Markets. Thevendors outside in the flea market werecold, but determined. Brent Kallmer said hewould not have lasted the three hours with-out the help of his neighboring stand owner,Mary Howard, another new, small business-owner, who lent him a fur-lined jacket.

Kallmer was excited though, to see afew repeat customers. He started market-ing his perfume at the Arlington market afew Saturdays ago. It is a small, easy-to-fit-in-a-purse perfume which he calls a“minimalist aquatic-floral.” He invented

smells like the sea and doesn’t have an over-powering scent,” she said. Kallmer says hisperfume was designed to be unisex.

Kallmer says he had long dreamed aboutmaking a scent that captured one ofthe most beautiful songs ever created,Antônio Carlos Jobim’s “Águas deMarço,” but kept telling himself itwould be too hard. A managing edi-tor by trade, he thought he didn’tknow enough about making perfumeto do a good job. He finally based hisdecision to go ahead and invent a per-fume on a quote by Ralph WaldoEmerson: “Do the thing, and you willhave the power.” He challenged him-self to make 20 bottles of a scent ona budget of $500. He embraced anaesthetic of radical simplicity. Usingonly his nose, intuition, and trial byerror, he attempted to translate mu-sic into scent.

He tested his experiments onpeople at work. He asked a lot ofquestions from a lot of experts. Heloitered around shops that would

help him understand what women — andmen — want in a perfume. And now, hehas his perfume for sale, and it is selling.Kallmer’s website iswww.eusouperfume.com andwww.etsy.com/shop/eusouperfume.combut he is also at the market near CourthouseMetro every Saturday during market hours.

The Cowbell Kitchen is a new small busi-ness at the Farmer’s Market. Founded in2013, they describe themselves as a farm &local producer-driven food business. Theyhave built strong relationships with likeminded small food related businesses rang-ing from a seventh generation farmer anda beekeeper schooled by her grandmother.They do a brisk business selling grilled/pressed sandwiches, especially on cold days.Their pastries are unlike any around town,especially the small apple tarts.

While it may be hard to buy a pastry inadvance of the holidays, as a gift, CowbellKitchen said they would issue an IOU for apastry or sandwich to be given to a friendand then redeemed at the market. And theytake orders: [email protected].

t was a cold, windy day at the Farmer’sMarket near Courthouse. OfficerLazakovich, of the Arlington CountyPolice Department, pulled over a se-

dan for not signalling a lane change as thecar went around his stopped vehicle.Lazakovich explained to the surprised driverthat it was high visibility traffic enforcementweek in Arlington; local drivers should re-member about signalling or expect to getpulled over.

“You can’t believe the number of people Ihave pulled over and they have no ideawhat they did. But signalling is important,”he said.

In the spirit of the holidays, he provideda warning, and agreed to tell the driver whathis favorite Christmas gift to give or get is.“It’s electronics,” he said, with a smile, as ifhe could already anticipate the gift. Andplease tell the readers to drive carefully anduse their turn signals.”

It turns out, you can tell a lot about peoplewhen you ask the question: What do youlike to give or get for the holidays?

Elizabeth Thomas says: “I like to give giftsthat show you’ve been listening. Present-

What Arlingtonresidents want togive … or get ...for the holidays.

Speaking of Gifts

ing someone with something they men-tioned offhand in the course of the year (noteven intending for it to be purchased forthem) shows that you think about themmore than just at the holidays. Also — I liketo get experiences. I’m so sick of stuff.”

Jake McGuire says: “Oh, I’d rather givethan receive. I’m not very material: I drivean old car, live in an old house, and drinkold wine.”

Brent Kallmer says he likes to givesomething that no one expects himto give, like a beautiful scarf. Hewants to hear, “Wow, I never wouldhave expected you to give me that.”

Connection

The Connection

Jake McGuire, wearing Irish tweed, acolorfully striped tie, and pockethandkerchief, is a self-confessed op-portunist; he is a man who sees pos-

sibilities everywhere. He laughs about his peri-patetic life, and talks rapidly, hands afly, abouthimself: “I guess you could say I have Atten-tion Deficit Disorder. I went to four collegesand one cooking school.”

An Arlington resident — off and on — sincehe was a baby (his parents moved here in1954), McGuire has just spent a few days driv-ing around Washington marketing “the littlebook that could.” He stopped at more than 150hotels to tell them about the book, which hepredicts will sell well in a White House transi-tion year.

McGuire has had many years to look at theWashington sights and photograph them. Andthat is what he has done in his small, square“pocket book” of photographs. He gets up early,and stays up late to photograph the monu-ments and scenes and adds a pithy commentabout the shot, like the one where a young manis climbing into Lincoln’s lap. He notes that isstrictly illegal (and difficult) to do, but he justhappened to catch it so he snapped it. The bookis starting to sell: 150 copies there, 200 there.McGuire is starting to feel less like strugglingartist and more like a man who has hit his stridedoing what he loves.

McGuire has been a photographer for mostof his life. He tried to go down the road of hisfamily — they were architects and chemists.But he thought he would have more fun in thenewspaper business. He joined the NorthernVirginia Sun as a darkroom attendant. Thosewere early days and newspapers still used hottype, photo engraving, and typewriters: he was19 and found himself doing pretty much allthe jobs of the paper at once. Arone Publica-tions asked him to leave the Sun and comework for them: he did the Army Navy game

and found he loved taking photos and wasgood at it.

Not long afterwards, he read that the Na-tional Enquirer was looking for photographers.He flew all over the country taking pictures ofunusual things in the deserts of Nevada or thewoods of Idaho, and then realized there was amarket for photos for airline magazines, so hestarted with Piedmont Airlines. How he gotthat gig tells the story of McGuire’s success:the chief executive of the airline, the man whowould have to sign off on hiring him, wasn’table to talk to McGuire because he was in thehospital. So McGuire found out which hospi-tal he was in and sent him a get well card. Itturned out no one else did, so when McGuirecalled up for the interview, he was recognizedas the only well-wisher: and he got the job.

All this time on airplanes led to the inevi-table: McGuire married a flight attendantand then travelled all over the world as afamily member. Eventually, he got tired offlying and, after being noticed by Twin LightsPublishing Company as a photographer withskill, he was asked to put together a coffeetable book of 100 of his best photographs in2004. His first book signing at Barnes andNoble on 13th and E Streets, N.W. was a rela-tive if not resounding success. When he saidhe wasn’t that happy with the sales, the book-store clerk cheered him up, saying, “You dida lot better than the last guy who signedbooks here.” “Oh yeah?” McGuire asked.“Who was that?” “Mitt Romney.”

It’s not easy to make money as a photogra-pher. McGuire took cooking lessons to be abetter food and wine critic. He kept hustling:he did a book of photographs of the coast ofMaine, shot from an airplane. He proposeddoing a shoot for American Cruise Lines, talk-ing them into giving him one of the 60 cabinson the ship so that he could ride along on thecruise up through Penobscot Bay, taking pic-tures along the way.

McGuire got the idea of doing a light, small,easy-to-package book of photographs a fewyears ago: he made the book just under sixinches square so it could fit in a 6- inch squaregift box; he used Eco Print, a digital press, forthe first three runs and now has turned to CSIin Falls Church. Debra Schiff, of J Street Group,LLC said she loves the little book McGuire hasproduced and bought a couple hundred cop-ies of it for clients. She said, “It’s a wonderfulgift and Jake McGuire is a one of a kind guywho is great to work with.”

He markets the book aggressively, stoppingin at hotels and visiting NGOs and lobbyistswho all have visitors to the area and need asmall, affordable gift item to hand out to theirclients. David Hill, of the Phoenix Park Hotelsaid, “I’ve known Jake for 14 years, and I’veused his images for room decor in the roomsand I’ve put photographs of D.C. in a presen-tation folder for clients: this year, I’m buying200 of his little books as gifts for inaugurationclients: the little book he does on Washingtonis a cool shape, easy to take away with you,and most importantly, it has style. I like to givemy clients a gift that is creative, original, andhas value. And style. I’ll tie a ribbon aroundthe square box he gives me, and provide it witha card to the people travelling here for the in-auguration. People really feel like they are get-ting something special, and they are.”

McGuire personalizes his books, too, so thatif someone is having a meeting or convention,the book can have the logo and a messageprinted on the first page. He calls it “the littlebook that could,” and he says the book is thelove of his life: he basically sells a portablephoto gallery. His business model? Hard work.McGuire says he works up to 12 hours a day.Will he ever get bored? Not right now, he says.But he is thinking of doing a similar book onSan Francisco. And Chicago. And ….

Nov. 5 decision to advertise public hearingsover whether or not to designate the Rob-ert Ball Sr. Family Burial Ground as a localhistoric district, a new goal has been addedto the project: respecting and honoring TheRobert Ball Family Cemetery located at thesite.

“We’re trying to respect history and thetraditions of Arlington,” said Doug Carter,president of the architectural firm DavisCarter Scott Ltd.

The cemetery houses Robert Ball and hisfamily, early settlers in the area for whomBallston is named. While early versions ofthe project called for the removal of thoseinterred, the new designs for the buildingmake the cemetery a feature of the build-ing. The plot itself is enclosed in a fenceand backed by an original stained glass Tif-fany window pulled out of county storageand being restored.

The potential removal of the cemeteryhad upset some local residents, but thechanges made to the design seem to havesatisfied many at the community meeting.

Patrick O’Neill, who had started aChange.org petition to stop the removal ofthe cemetary, said at the meeting that hewas impressed with the new designs.

“I know it’s been a bumpy road to gethere,” said O’Neill, “but I really appreciatethe new design.”

Alice Swan, a local resident, said that thecontinual changes to the site and demandsfor historic preservation had put a strainon the church’s resources. Swan urged otherresidents to “put your money where yourmouth has been and contribute to thechurch’s window restoration.”

Though most agreed the new design wasvastly improved, some still had lingeringconcerns. Bernie Berne, president of theBuckingham Civic Association, noted thatthe new design does not meet some of thecode requirements for open space. AnitaWallgren, president of the Arlington Neigh-borhood Village Association but speakingfor herself, said she was unhappy to see thesite using brick for the sidewalks.

“Poured concrete is the code,” saidWallgren, “Bricks and pavers are a hazardto pedestrians.”

By KENNETH B. LOURIE

Not Hardly, IKnew You

Not about me, at first. My oncology nurseof almost seven years, a person with whom Ihad much in common and who, quite frankly,probably saved my life back in August of ‘13when I showed up at my regularly scheduledchemotherapy infusion with an oxygen levelof 85. This ultimately led to a week-long stayin Holy Cross Hospital to solve the problemwhich was that 4.7 litters of fluid had accumu-lated in my lungs, a not uncommon occur-rence for lung cancer patients. It becamequite clear after our first few infusions togetherthat we were well suited. To say that I wouldbe looking forward to my infusions because ofRon’s hands-on care and concern — anddepth of our relationship might be a bit naïve(let’s face it, I didn’t want to be there at all;certainly not as a patient, although I’d behappy to visit/support a friend, family memberof fellow cancer patient). But I will admit tothis: I never dreaded it because invariably Ronlifted my spirits through his schtick and excel-lent intentions.

When I walked into the Infusion Centertwo Fridays ago and walked over to my bar-colounger, I didn’t see Ron so I joked aloud“where’s Ron? Maybe I’ll get some decentservice today?” Another nurse (all of whom Iknow) quickly responded and said “Ron’s nothere.” “Oh,” I said, thinking nothing of it.“You mean because it’s Veteran’s Day?” “No,”she said. “He’s gone. He took early retire-ment.” “Wow,” I said. “Is he OKAY? Is his fam-ily OKAY?” I stammered. What few additionalinquiries I made to the other nurses aboutwhen he left, his last day, what he’s doingnow, if he’s moving, etc., were all met with asincere “I don’t know.”

As I waited for my chemotherapy to bemixed/prepared (as you may or may notknow, chemotherapy is not exactly off theshelf. Oh, sure, it’s on a shelf but not ready forprime time until the patient actually arrivesand his vitals are taken and then, presumablyalong with one’s pre-chemotherapy lab workresults, communicated to the patient’s oncolo-gist for assessment and if satisfactory on to theon-site pharmacy for the actual preparation), Ithought about the effect Ron’s departurewould have on his patients. I imagine, theywere similar to many of the ones I was having.

When I mentioned this likely effect toanother of the oncology nurses, (and you getto know and are treated by all of the nursesstaffing the Center, but generally there is onenurse to whom you are assigned), sheexplained/understood how caring for oncol-ogy patients in an Infusion Center is much dif-ferent than caring for a patient in a hospitalwhere you might see the patient for a fewdays and then never again. In an InfusionCenter, you might see the same patient foryears (for me, it will be eight years, comeMarch 2017), she said. As such, she added,you develop relationships, friendships, muchmore so than a typical patient/acquaintanceyou have in a hospital experience.

If I were to calculate how many times I’veseen Ron at The Infusion Center over the pastseven-plus years, I would guess upwards of90. And we talked plenty during those 90 vis-its, and not always about cancer. In fact, it wasalmost always about life. It was never morbid,it was always merrier. He was a humorousbreath of fresh air in an environment/set ofcircumstances where the breath — so tospeak, can occasionally be stale and hard totake. I don’t want to say/want to think: whatabout me? But if I were to allow it for oneminute, one column, I would say what mybrother, Richard often says after he hears agood report from my oncologist about me: “Ifhe’s happy, then I’m happy.” Well, If Ron’shappy then I suppose I’m happy, believe it ornot.
