For the most part, nothing changed.Jay Farr was doing what he’d nor-mally been doing as acting policechief since Chief Doug Scott re-

tired in March. But since he was selectedby County Manager Barbara Donnellan topermanently fill the position on May 14,Farr says there’s been a slight change in theatmosphere. According to Farr, being madethe official police chief in Arlington settlesquestions about policy.

Farr has previously served as deputy chieffor 12 years, before that working in thedepartment’s Press Office and Systems Man-agement. The Systems Management officeoversees the police budget and staffing. Farrsaid it’s the position most police officers likethe least because it’s the most removed fromtraditional police work, but Farr said it’s thebest position for understanding what life aschief of police entails.

As police chief, Farr said his primary goalis maintaining public trust in the policedepartment.

“The police are under a microscope,” saidFarr. “I’m confident we have great police,

but we have to look at what’s happeningacross the nation.”

To this end, Farr laid out four prioritiesfor the department to achieve over the nextfive years.

The first goal is to bridge the communi-cation gap between the police and local citi-zen groups.

“We need captains and teams that dealwith communities,” said Farr. “The west endof Columbia Pike is not as well reached. Weneed to look at pushing our messages out

and reaching new demographics.”But Far said this communication push is

proving to be a challenge.“We usually say we’re going to have a

meeting Wednesday night,” said Farr. “In-stead, now we have to find out where andwhen this group is meeting and go to them.We have to contact the community orga-nizers and talk about what it is the policedo. Some residents from foreign countrieshave zero trust in the police.”

Local community leaders praised the com-

munication outreach from the police, butsaid there was still work to be done.

“The police have been very responsiveand willing to talk with [community]groups any time we ask,” said AndrewSchneider, president of the Yorktown CivicAssociation. “I think what our citizens arelooking for is communication.”

Schneider described a situation that oc-curred last year, where there was a seriesof break-ins in the neighborhood, and said

Jay Farr, addressing the Nauck CivicAssociation community meetingJune 1, said he was there to “ put a

face to a position.” He emphasized the im-portance of community outreach and input.As the new Arlington County Police Chief,Farr talked about the importance of diver-sity in recruitment and retention. He saidmost officers are good until about the seven-year mark, then they leave for Federal jobsor move from the area because it is expen-sive to live here. Farr said, “We have a biginvestment in people; they understand morewhen they have been around for a while,and getting people to stay is important.”

One of the meeting attendees asked howFarr plans to get better, more roundedpeople in the force. Farr replied they aregetting better applicants and he enumer-ated the requirements for hiring includinga college education, which brings “a littlemore free thought and reality. I can teachthem to be an officer in the Academy butcollege gives them different skills.” In ad-dition, they take a test, have thorough em-ployment, criminal and background checks,a polygraph and then an extensive medicaland psychological evaluation followed by a“21 week fun-filled class at the Academy.”

Farr said community engagement is im-

portant across all sections of Arlington. “IfI can get people engaged in what we do,the first line people, guys who work on thestreet, the first line customer; that’s mygoal.” He said that traffic safety is the num-ber one issue in this city — traffic-relatedspeeding, congestion and accidents. Farrsaid the department is doing a good job oncrime prevention and control but, “we won’trest on our laurels. We want to stay ahead.”

Portia A. Clark, president of the NauckCivic Association, asked if Farr had plans tobring back any of the programs that hadbeen discontinued due to budget cuts. Farrsaid with $10,000 he could return the 12-week program that would allow any citi-zen to understand what “we do, how wemake decisions, our challenges. We walk theentire criminal justice system.” He said, “Iplan to do this soon.” The issue of how tohave a real dialogue on race was raised. Farrsaid, “For me, community relationship ispretty simple, one relationship at a time.”

Third District Commander Stu Ellis re-ported the news that crime is down in theNauck area but there are a couple of trendsincluding scams, particularly against theelderly and families from other countriesdemanding money. He urged people whohave these residents as neighbors to helpprotect them. Another trend is the stealingof mostly unlocked autos.

Sergeant Damon Washington pointed out

an upcoming ACPD Safety and CommunityAwareness Event to increase citizen aware-ness of both their own actions and the some-times complicated decisions required by anofficer. The free event, to be held at

Kenmore Middle School July 18, also willoffer a distracted driving course in whichthe driver can drive a golf cart wearinggoggles simulating various alcohol levels to

Residents of Arlington are show-ing an increasing interest in so-lar power. Eighty-one residentshave already installed solar pan-

els and solar water heating systems in anattempt to go green, while 153 others arein a new program considering installingthese features to their homes or businesses.

Joan Kelsch, green building programsmanager at the Arlington County Depart-ment of Environmental Services and a resi-dent of Arlington for 24 years, said, “Abso-lutely. I am a big fan.” She installed solarpanels on top of her home’s flat roof fiveyears ago. Now, 75 percent of her home’selectricity comes from these solar panels.

Jim Egenrieder, STEM Education Out-reach, Strategies, Research and Evaluationat Arlington, Alexandria and Falls Churchpublic schools, installed an 18-panel systemwhich produces between 3.4 kW and 3.6kW during its peak hours. He said, “Ofcourse it feels good to lead by example,watch your electric meter crediting yourenergy production, and spend the moneyyou save on more enjoyable things.”

Installing solar features can be seen asan investment. Kelsch’s original system of4kW has saved her more money than the$25,000 she originally invested in install-ing the system. Scott Sklar, who installedsolar features to his home in 1985 and up-graded them in 1998 and 2010, said thatthe solar panels paid for themselves in 2000and he is essentially living on free electric-ity for the last 14 years. Jim Egenrieder, liv-ing in Arlington since 1987 and installedthe solar panels in 2010, took advantage ofall the federal and state incentives, includ-ing the tax rebates, to pay a little over one-third of the total price of $28,000.

Kelsch says that her electricity bills havereduced to almost 25 percent of what they

were before as well. Kelsch added, “The costnow would be almost half of what it wasfive years ago.”

Even though solar seems to be of greateconomic value, as well as environmentallyfriendly, not many Arlington residents areutilizing this resource. Aaron Sutch, VirginiaSun program director, said, “Definitely lessthan one percent” about the number of so-lar homes currently in Arlington.

Chris Somers, community energy special-ist at the Arlington County Department ofEnvironmental Services, confirmed a totalof only 81 buildings in Arlington, as of 2014,have solar features, combining to generateonly 411 kW. “A fair majority of these areresidential,” he said.

This number is growing with the assis-tance of various non-profit organizations,including but not limited to Arlingtoniansfor a Clean Environment (ACE), ArlingtonInitiative to Rethink Energy (AIRE), andVirginia Sun, working together to increaseawareness about environmental issues andproviding solutions as well as encouraging,educating, and engaging residents towardssustainability.

Elenor Hodges, executive director of ACEfor over 15 years, describes her organiza-tion as a portal and a facilitator for everyArlington resident to help them answer thequestion “What are the best actions to makea difference?” and to support their decisions

accordingly. “It is a responsibility in mak-ing sure that every Arlingtonian has accessto these resources,” Hodges said.

To increase the number of solar homesand increase energy efficiency locally, Vir-ginia Sun, with its partners AIRE and ACE,have developed a program called Solar Co-op for Arlington residents. Sutch describedthe program as “a community of neighborsgoing solar together.” A total of 153homeowners have been qualified within thisprogram, and will be adding solar featuresto their homes within the next seven to ninemonths. This program allows local commu-nity members to install solar features totheir home, through a single installer, andto interconnect the solar systems to the util-ity grid.

Within this program, a committee of 5 to15 participants is formed who select thesingle installer and make all the major de-cisions for the group. The potential install-ers make open bids notifying the selectioncommittee of the solar features they offerand the cost that they will charge.

According to Sutch, about to complete hisfirst year at Virginia Sun in July, intercon-necting with the utility grid allows the ex-cess solar energy received by the solar pan-els — the energy not used by the house —to be sent through to the utility grid thatallows the same electricity to be used byother households. This allows the home-owner to not buy the batteries, which wouldstore the extra energy otherwise, that aremore expensive and contain toxic chemi-cals that are harmful for the environment,according to Kelsch.

Sutch said that there are various advan-tages for the participants of this program.To overcome the two most important barri-ers, which are cost and not having theknowledge of the details of the process, Vir-ginia Sun, a 501c non-profit organization,guides homeowners through the process.He added that this program saves each par-ticipant between 10 percent and 25 percentas the services provided by the installer are

being bought in bulk.Egenrieder said, “Other than the savings,

the biggest perk has been knowing that wecontributed to the evolution of the solarhome installation industry. And when werecently learned the U.S. has more jobs insolar than in coal mining, I like to pretendwe were part of making that possible.”

There are other benefits of adding solarpanels as well. As Kelsch installed the solarpanels on top of her flat roof, they do notaffect the appearance of her home and arebarely noticeable. “One way you wouldnotice that we have solar panels is by see-ing that the electricity bills are way lower,”she said.

Similar to Kelsch, Egenrieder also has thesolar panels arranged on his home’s roof issuch a way that “it takes a sophisticated eyefor passersby to notice the panels, andtherefore no one really knows they’rethere.”

Sklar says that he is never engaged in anypower outage problems and believes it ismore comfortable, mentally and physically,to be living in a green home. His home al-lows him to have lowest possible electricutility cost and an extremely clean electricpower quality. He also says that he has “astrong feeling you are helping your childrenand grandchildren move to a healthierworld.”

But solar is not a viable option for every-one. Hodges, a resident of Arlington for 19years, could not add solar panels or the so-lar water heating system to her home as herroof does not receive enough sunlight to beable to generate enough electricity. Thereis an oak tree that significantly blocks thepath for the sunrays to reach her house. ButHodges is still optimistic. She says that herhome receives a lot of shade and is moreefficient.

Though Kelsch did not have any majorcomplains about having solar features, oneminor disappointment was that having so-lar energy does not allow the systems to

continue running when the power goes out.Though she says this can be corrected sim-ply by buying and installing batteries forstoring the extra electricity, batteries areexpensive and full of toxic chemicals.

Yet, Kelsch encourages other homeownersto add some solar features to their homesto make their homes more energy efficient.She also encourages homeowners to takethe energy audit for their homes to reduceenergy load as much as possible and to bethe most energy efficient.

Egenrieder said, “Sometimes I feel bad formy neighbors Doug or Scott, who can seemy panels from their upper windows. I’mguessing they spend a lot of time thinking,‘Man, that guy Jim is the coolest guy on theplanet.’ That kind of jealousy can take yearsoff your life, and they’re both great guys,so sometimes I worry about them while Isit on my porch sipping on a martini. Oth-erwise, I can think of no other disadvan-tages of a grid-tied solar home.”

He also advised other homeowners to in-vest in solar features for their homes as hebelieves they are more inclined to receivemore benefits through better technology.According to Egenrieder, “New systems al-low for both grid-tied benefits plus optionsfor on-site battery storage, even includingbackup generator options. Micro-inverter

technology also provides for more flexibil-ity.”

Sklar encourages other homeowners, liv-ing in Arlington and its surrounding areas,to invest in converting their houses intosolar homes, for it “would reduce utilitybills, reduce pollution, and have absoluteelectric reliability.” He also believes thatsolar systems will increase the re-sale valueof the homes. Sklar has already created TheStella Group, a firm facilitating for a cleanerand greener environment through utilizingenergy efficiency, fuel cells, heat engines,etc. He has also co-authored a book titled“Consumer Guide to Solar Energy” and pub-lished a paper on clean energy technolo-gies in 2013 to promote the use of solarfeatures in residences and public buildings.

Arlington Techwill initiate a newEngineering, En-ergy and Sustain-able Technologiesprogram for highschool students inthe 2016-2017school year.Egenrieder said,“I believe it willgreatly enhanceoptions for youngpeople wanting tolearn about, par-ticipate in, or beemployed in alter-native energy.”

If solar may not seem to be the best op-tion for a home, AIRE and ACE have vari-

ous other programs for residents of Arling-ton to go green. By joining ACE, residentswould be added to a mailing list that en-courages members of the community toparticipate in new programs and volunteeropportunities.

Through this mailing list, Hodges is ableto inform ACE’s members about local com-panies involved in making financially viableoptions available for Arlington residents.ACE is adding an online directory by theend of next year, to allow all its membersto have a list of all local companies and in-stallers available.

History finally caught upwith Arlington Lodge#58 F&AM, Prince Hall

on Saturday, June 6. ArlingtonCounty erected a marker com-memorating the strong and ben-eficial presence of generations ofmostly African-American men inthe Nauck community.

The main speaker was GrandMaster Roger C. Brown of thePrince Hall Grand Lodge of Vir-ginia.

His words of praise for the pastand of encouragement for the fu-ture were heard by the members,their families and guests. However,Brown’s presence was overshad-owed, slightly, by someone in theaudience.

Emma Moorman is the grand-daughter of Henry L. Holmes, thefirst leader of Lodge #58 at itsfounding in 1888. Holmes exem-plified the standard of civic servicefor all county residents during his

lifetime and down through theyears. He served as Commissionerof Revenue from 1876 to 1903,was a developer of neighborhoodsin Central Arlington and heldmembership in numerous frater-nal and religious organizations.Born in Arlington, Moorman isproud of her grandfather and hisaccomplishments, but not nearlyas proud as Lodge #58 in havingher at home nearby. Moorman ex-pressed pleasure at assisting tounveil the history marker and see-ing, again, the commitment of lo-cal Masons to serving the commu-

nity. “Everything is just wonder-ful,” she said.

Currently, Julius D. Spain, Sr. isWorshipful Master of Lodge #58.An active duty military officer sta-tioned in The Pentagon, Spain en-tered the local Masonic sceneabout six years ago. He appreci-ated its history, but quickly real-ized that the story of Lodge #58and its good works were unknownoutside the confines of the meet-ing hall.

Spain also was concerned overthe erroneous image of Lodge #58being only for African-Americans.To the contrary, membership isopen to anyone subscribing to theprinciples of the Masonic move-ment. Spain noted that Lodge#58, a few years ago, had a Cau-casian serving as Worshipful Mas-ter.

Cynthia Liccese-Torres and JohnLiebertz work in the county’s De-partment of Community Planning,Housing and Development. Recov-ering Arlington’s past and tellingabout the county’s many and di-verse communities is part of theirjobs; it also is the main reason theylove their jobs.

In short order, the independentgoals of Spain and of Liccese-Torrres and Liebertz turned out tobe but one, and the result is aneducational display standing at2222 South Shirlington Road notfar from the Glebe Road and I-395intersection.

Dr. Alfred Taylor, Jr., communityhistorian, noted that “nobody cantell your story like you,” but thesidewalk plaque will serve the pur-pose of leading people to betterunderstand their past.

Priorities for Arlington Policein situations like that it’s important to be very openand responsive to the local community.

“They need to keep us in the loop,” said Schneider.Stefanie Pryor, president of the Arlington County

Civic Federation, similarly expressed satisfaction withrecent police outreachefforts.

“They’ve been verywilling to speak with usand have offered tomeet with various com-munity organizations,”said Pryor. “We’re ex-pecting open communi-cation from them. Keepopen communication.”

Like Schneider, Pryorsaid that open lines ofcommunications withthe police can help lo-cal citizens be aware of suspicious activity.

The department’s second priority is to diversify theArlington Police demographics. Farr said the depart-ment struggles to recruit Hispanic or Latino officersfrom the local community.

“The biggest challenge is what’s happening nation-ally: the police misuse of force,” said Farr. “A youngguy or woman will be thinking twice about joiningbecause there’s an erosion of trust.”

Farr identified a few tools to help police recruit-ment. One was school resource officers, who canassist students and keep them from paths that wouldexclude them from a career in law enforcement.

But Arlington still has to compete for qualified hireswith Fairfax and Montgomery counties. Farr said thebest way for his department to get the upper hand isto have satisfied police officers on the street who arehappy to recommend their work. The other incen-tive, though, is outside of the police’s hands and back

on the county’s.“The job pays well, but

it’s costly to live here,”said Farr. “Most officerslive in neighboring coun-ties. Without affordablehousing, it’s a struggle toget folks to come here.”Farr also said the policewill maintain transporta-tion and traffic safety asa priority,

According to Farr, thedepartment also needs toplan for changes in tech-

nology.“Body cameras are going to come,” said Farr. “My

main concern is that the tech is ahead of the law, sowe’re going to have a lot of policy and legal issues.”

One potential conflict, Farr noted, was that policewould keep their body cameras on when entering aprivate residence. Therefore, video footage inside aprivate residence would then become part of a pub-lic record.

“We will probably institute a pilot program in thisyear, in June or July, but I’m not looking to be thefirst one out the door on this,” said Farr. “We haven’theard a big push for this yet from the community.”

Stressing Community OutreachFrom Page 3

assess their driving ability under those circumstances.It will also allow a citizen to experience “15 MinutesBehind the Badge” in which they can see police in-teractions by accompanying them in simulated reallife scenarios. They can wear the equipment, go to aroll call and get dispatched on a call. A canine dem-onstration directed at children is also part of the pro-gram as well as VIN etching in which a VIN numberis etched into the glass windows of a vehicle, whichhelps prevent auto theft.

Matt Foley, Arlington County chief public defender,rounded out the explanation of the criminal justicesystem by explaining the responsibility of his officeto represent people charged with an offense but un-

able to afford representation. Foley said a lot of themsuffer from bipolar or schizophrenia that result indisorderly conduct, and they end up in jail as a re-sult. The theme of community outreach was reiter-ated, the importance to let people know about theservices available. “They need to know us and trustus. If they have a contact with police, they have a lotof questions about how they know their rights, can apoliceman search my pockets, my auto. We can helpthem navigate the system,” Foley said.

The outreach involves churches, regular hours atthe community center, distribution of flyers and at-tending community association meetings. “We’ll goanywhere,” Foley said, “to spread the information.We need to know what you need.”

“The job pays well, but it’scostly to live here. Mostofficers live in neighboringcounties. Without affordablehousing, it’s a struggle to getfolks to come here.”

Children’s Bike Race toBenefit Tay Sachs Research

On Saturday and Sunday,June 13-14, hundreds ofadults will be competing inthe Air Force Association(AFA) Cycling Classic to ben-efit the AFA Wounded AirmanProgram. More than 300 chil-

dren aged 9 and under are expected to raceas well, but with another cause in mind.For the second year, the Kids Bike Race isdedicated to Ethan Klancnik.

Ethan was born on June 12, 2012 andshortly thereafter was diagnosed with TaySachs, an incurable genetic disease. Afterhis diagnosis, his mother Michelle Klancnikformed the Tay Sachs Awareness & Preven-tion Organization (TSAPO) to bring aware-ness to the disease and to prevent similargenetic diseases by supporting affectedfamilies who would like to have additional,healthy children. The Kids Bike Race cameabout when Klancnik, Ethan’s mother, de-cided to organize an event that Ethan andher twin daughters could be a part of.

“I wanted something [my children] couldbe involved in. The idea that children cangive back and be involved in the commu-

nity is something I want to instill in my chil-dren,” she said. Unfortunately, Ethan diedbefore the first race in his honor.

Now, “I just want to be able to help edu-cate people,” she said. She has taken anonline Georgetown University geneticscourse, has attended several conferencesand will attend the Illumina “UnderstandYour Genome” conference in the fall to learnmore about the disease and genetics in gen-eral. A portion of the proceeds for the KidsRace will benefit TSAPO.

Her mission is to bring awareness to thedisease with what Robert Laybourn of Ar-lington Sports, the event’s organizer, callsa “crowd favorite.”

“[I want children] to enjoy the satisfac-tion and the accomplishment of complet-ing the race. As a kid, distances can some-times be daunting. To complete a lap is asignificant accomplishment,” he added.

Trending in the Garden

By Marilyn Campbell

The Connection

As summer gets underway, so does timespent outside. The American Society ofLandscape Architects recently released theresults of its 2015 Residential Landscape

Architecture Survey, a list of trends in outdoor de-sign that yields a bounty of backyard design ideas.From adding a pond to planting a garden, local land-scape gurus explain how these trends can be used totransform an outdoor space into a favorite escape.

The top landscape and garden elements includenative plants, vegetable gardens and low-mainte-nance landscapes. “Since native trees and shrubs aremeant to grow here, they’re easier to take care ofand they’re lower maintenance,” said Janet Darabof Cravens Nursery in Fairfax.

“I think there is an increased awareness of the ben-efit in planting native,” said Patrick Lawver of NatureBy Design in Alexandria. “If you are planting natives,they should be able to maintain themselves. If theyare planted in the right area and planted correctly,you don’t have to water them once they get estab-lished, so you won’t have to rely on water that much.”

Dogwoods, redbuds and magnolias are native treesthat Lawver says are among the most popular in theWashington, D.C., region. Iris, milkweed and but-terfly weed are some of the most popular native flow-ers. “A lot of people are liking butterfly weed be-cause it’s great for attracting monarch butterflies.”

Experts also recommend amateur gardeners think

about what type of plants are appropriate for theiryards. “For example, if someone has a small back-yard garden, there are some plants that grow ag-gressively that we don’t recommend because you’dhave to constantly cut them back to keep them un-der control,” said Lawver. “There are some plantsthat grow better if you have wet soil and some thatdo better in dryer soil. The bottom line is that they’reall low maintenance as long as you’re planting theminto the right situation.”

Raised garden beds are also popular. “One of theadvantages of raised beds is that they discourage crit-ters like rabbits from getting in and digging stuff,” saidLawver. “Raised beds often hold moisture really so wellthere is not as much maintenance with the plant.”

Among the most popular outdoor design elements,as reported in the American Society of LandscapeArchitects survey, are fire pits and fireplaces, light-ing and grills. One pavilion, built by Rill Architectsfor a Potomac, Md., home, incorporates the threeelements and can serve as inspiration for those whowant to create an outdoor oasis.

The space was created as a place to enjoy naturewhile relishing the comforts of home. “[It] creates aseamless transition between the house and yard,”said James F. Rill, AIA of Rill Architects.

A ceiling fan cools the space during warm weatherand a stone fireplace warms it when the tempera-ture drops. A mahogany pergola hovers above theterrace. Outdoor chairs, along with low walls thatare made of stone, provide seating for entertaining.The floor of the pavilion is made of flagstone.

The pavilion offers of view of the home’s Englishgarden, including a pond and walking bridge, andits terrace overlooks a saltwater pool. A gatehouseconnects the updated rear porch to the expandedgarage. “Now the outbuildings offer an oasis to en-joy nature from both inside and outside the home,”said Rill.

Local landscape architectsoffer suggestionsfor updating.
