The Connection

Rev. Dr. Leonard Hamlin, the spiri-tual leader of Macedonia BaptistChurch, believes that a church

should be more than just a place for peopleto worship. According to him, a church alsoneeds to serve the community in which it’slocated.

Because Hamlin’s church is in Arlington’sNauck neighborhood, an area where hous-ing costs have skyrocketed in recent years,Macedonia Baptist is tackling the affordablehousing issue head on. It has purchasedseveral nearby plots of land and is planningon building below-market-rate apartmentson them.

“We now have to think in ways we’venever had to think before… I did expect thatsomething like this would not be easy. [But]when it is successful, we cannot take credit,”Hamlin said, motioning upward with hiseyes.

MORE AND MORE often, local churches,synagogues, mosques and other religiousorganizations are taking the problem ofhousing costs into their own hands. Manyare pooling their assets to build below-mar-ket-rate housing. Others areusing their organizing powerto lobby local officials whodeal with this ongoing prob-lem.

Susan Retz, chair of the ad-vocacy group Alliance forHousing Solutions, is glad thatthe faith community is gettinginvolved in this problematic is-sue. “Anyone who has ayounger person in their life oran older person in their life oris trying to buy a house nowknows how difficult it is to find affordablehousing,” she said.

“Affordable housing has been a perennialpriority of ours,” Fred Jones, president ofthe Arlington Interfaith Council, said, “Be-

cause it has been the perennial problem inour community.”

BUT WHILE some laud theefforts of religious institutionstowards creating low-costhousing, a backlash has devel-oped among those who feelthat a church should not begetting involved. The FirstBaptist Church of Clarendonhas felt this backlash firsthand.

Located in the heart ofArlington’s trendy Clarendonneighborhood, the church’sproperty became extremely

valuable in recent years while its liquid as-sets were dwindling. “We were right in theheart of an urban area and wondering ifwe could stay,” Ellen Bartlett, a member ofthe church, said.

First Baptist’s solution to this problem wasto partner with Arlington County and sellthe rights to build above its property to adeveloper who would construct affordableapartments. “We want to be of service topeople other than our congregation,”Bartlett said.

But homeowners who live near the churchbalked at the plan to build a high-rise apart-ment in their neighborhood. After theCounty approved the project in 2004, agroup nearby residents sued First Baptist.Their plans to construct affordable housinghave been tied up in court ever since.

THE CHRIST Evangelical LutheranChurch, located in downtown Bethesda,was in a similar situation to that of FirstBaptist. According to the president of thechurch, Barry Lemley, they were “land-richand cash-poor.”

Local churches experience the challenges ofthe real estate world as they try to createaffordable housing.

The Connection

Arlington County’s plan to alter its housinglaws has inspired much debate in recentmonths.

But last week, that plan came one stepcloser to fruition after the Arlington County Boarddecided that it will vote on theplan later this summer.

“This issue has had consider-able interest in the community,”County Manager Ron Carleesaid. “This is a very significantchange for Arlington.”

The proposal that will be con-sidered would allow localhomeowners to rent out parts of their single-familyhomes to establish accessory dwelling units, whichare currently illegal under Arlington housing ordi-nances. Last week, the County Board decided that itwould hear this issue at its July 19 meeting.

EVEN THOUGH the Board was only scheduling avote on the housing proposal, more than three-dozen

local homeowners came to the Board meeting to ex-press their opinions.

Many said that they supported the accessory dwell-ing proposal because it would benefit the elderly.Under this proposal, they said, seniors would be ableto rent out a room in their home to a caregiver, whichwould provide them with a new source of income.

“Accessory dwellings can be seen as a godsend forsenior citizens,” Virginia Karl, a 63-year resident ofArlington, said. “This will make it possible for se-niors to stay at home and not go to an assisted living[facility].”

Others said that it would benefit students in thearea who can’t afford an apartment. “They need aplace to stay and this is ideal for them,” James Shea

said.County officials said that this

proposal would also allow themto regulate accessory dwellingunits, something they are cur-rently unable to do. “It offersan alternative to the informalunits which we know exist andhave sprung up over time,”

Community, Planning and Housing Department di-rector Susan Bell said.

BUT opponents of the proposal were skeptical thatthe County code enforcement division, which theysay is already overwhelmed, will be able to regulate

A controversial change toArlington’s housing lawsdivides the community.

H-B Woodlawn Secondary program heldit’s 2008 prom this weekend atAlexandria’s Torpedo Factory. But H-B,a school known for its nontraditional cur-

riculum and idiosyncratic style, decided to break fromthe norm and held an environmentally-friendly prom.

All students were given green and white waterbottles, which they were encouraged to use all night.Kelli DeBose, an English teacher at H-B and a coor-dinator of the prom, said that this cuts back on thetrash that would be created had they used paper cups.The prom also used linen tablecloths instead of pa-

per and used recycled decorations along with do-nated flowers and food.

“We wanted to have as little footprint as possible,”DeBose said.

In keeping with the environmental theme, manyof H-B’s prom-goers wore green. H-B student TysonPrice wore a black tie over a green striped shirt.Among a sea of green on the dance floor, Price saidthat he had forgotten about the theme of the promand wore the green shirt “on coincidence.”

Schools

Boundary Decision Struck DownThe Arlington School Board’s controversial decision to change el-

ementary school boundaries was overturned in court last week, settingthe stage for another vote later this month on the hot button issue.

An Arlington Circuit Court judge voided the School Board’s Feb. 14vote, which would have moved 53 students out of Tuckahoe Elemen-tary School, saying that the Board violated state laws that require it topublicize the public hearings it holds prior to its votes.

The School Board had publicized a public hearing on this issue forFeb. 12 but an ice storm that day forced the hearing to be rescheduledto the next day. According to an Arlington Public Schools press release,the Court ruled that, because the hearing had not taken place on theday for which it was publicized, the School Board’s decision on thismatter was illegal.

The Court ruling was made as a result of a lawsuit brought by threeparents of Tuckahoe Elementary School students, Jay Stewart and Jo-seph and Nancy Delogu. Their children would have been moved toNottingham Elementary School under the School Board’s decision.

“If they can’t even follow a rule on a notice provision what are we todo?” he said. “The stakes are very high. These are little kids that areaffected by this. It’s not like these are people who are highly resilient.”

He also said the School Board’s use of the ice storm as an excuse forwhy their ruling was voided is a “red herring” and said that, had thehearing taken place on Feb. 12, it still wouldn’t have met the legalcriteria.

The School Board arrived at its decision on the boundary issue afterdozens of public meetings during which hundreds of parents, includ-ing Stewart and the Delogus, voiced their opposition to the changingof school boundaries.

As a result of the court decision, the School Board has scheduledanother public hearing and vote on the boundary matter for June 12.Schools spokesperson Linda Erdos said that the Board will conduct thehearing and then hold the vote immediately afterwards.

Delogu acknowledged that the lawsuit he, his wife and Stewart filedwas a “technicality.” But he said that he and other Tuckahoe parentswere “ready and waiting” to file a more substantive lawsuit after theSchool Board re-approves its boundary plan on June 12.

Funds For Yorktown ApprovedThe Arlington School Board last week approved a $258 million spend-

ing plan that includes funds for the reconstruction of Yorktown HighSchool.

In the Capital Improvement Plan, which lays out what the local schoolsystem plans to spend on upgrading and maintaining its facilities overthe next five years, almost $83 million was allocated for the Yorktownproject. If the plan is approved by the County Board later this monthand by the voters in November’s bond referendum, the Yorktown re-construction project will be fully funded.

“Yorktown’s rebuilding odyssey started a decade ago,” John Vihstadt,past president of the Yorktown PTA, said. “Now in 2008, the remainderof what we need to finish this project is here in one lump sum.”

The School Board’s spending plan also included funds for the recon-struction of Wakefield High School. But money for the Wakefield projectwill not be allocated this year. Instead, those funds will be included inthe 2010 bond referendum.

“This is a strong and responsible plan,” School Board Chairman EdFendley said. “These investments will serve our students and all ofArlington by reconstructing Yorktown and Wakefield high schools …The Arlington community has long supported high-quality learningenvironments for our students and this plan will continue in that tradi-tion.”

School Board Member Frank Wilson, who is retiring at the end ofthis year, said that he knows that the Wakefield community has beenanxiously anticipating the reconstruction of its high school and thankedthem for working with the school system through this process.

“I don’t want to leave the Board with people saying that Wakefield isa stepchild,” Wilson said. “Wakefield is not the stepchild of the Arling-ton Public School system.”

The passage of this spending plan by the School Board lays out muchof what voters will be asked to approve in this year’s bond referendum.More than $99 million of this year’s bond funds, most of which will beused on the Yorktown project, will go to the schools. The County Boardmay also add some projects to the referendum during its Capital Im-provement Plan hearings.

By Susan Sonley

This weekend my team, Championsfor the Cure, will again participatein the Susan G. Komen NationalRace for the Cure, held annually on

the first Saturday in June on the National Mall.My goal is to always be the team that raisesthe most money, and I’ve accomplished it forthe past nine years. As I add names to my mas-sive mailing list, I reflect on why I became in-volved. It’s not a simple answer, but it carriesa strong message of hope and solidarity.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age40, in 1994, and had multiple surgeries, ra-diation and chemotherapy. When it was all overand my life started to regain some semblanceof normalcy, I learned it wasn’t really over. Didthe treatment work well enough to give meanother year or two? This is a question forwhich there is no answer. So when the treat-ments are over, it’s really not over.

I was always aware of breast cancer becausemy mother, 29 at the time, was diagnosed in1959. She had four small children under theage of 6 and underwent a treatment programthat would be considered barbaric today. Aradical mastectomy and immediate hysterec-

tomy followed by massive doses of radia-tion were very hard on her, but saved herlife. My father was her steadfast supporter,but it was a very difficult time, and all ofour lives changed because of her illness.Within two years my mother lost her ownmother to metastatic breast cancer.

Today we have so many more resources avail-able, thanks to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.Komen has raised awareness to unprecedentedlevels and put breast cancer funding on ourlawmakers’ agenda. We now have many surgi-cal and treatment choices; counseling and sup-port groups are standard procedure. My fam-ily would have been so lucky had my motherhad half these resources.

At my first race in 1995, I was thoroughlyunprepared for the emotions that overwhelmedme that beautiful June morning as I walkedonto the National Mall. The uncertainty andfear that were constant companions during myillness were mitigated by the fellowship, loveand support from the tens of thousands whoselives had also been touched by breast cancer. Iwas not alone with this disease. What a pow-erful message!

I started Champions for the Cure in 1998 tocelebrate my 5th anniversary cancer free. Since

Cancer survivor makes a difference by leadingtop fund-raising team in Race for the Cure.

Why I Race for the Curethen, we’ve been able to raisean astounding $500,000 forKomen’s breast cancer re-search, treatment, educationand screening programs.

I’m constantly grateful toKomen for pulling breast can-cer out of the closet and mak-ing it a public issue, so differ-ent than it was for my motherand grandmother. So everyyear, I dust off my mailing lists

and begin fund-raising again, hoping the cureis in sight. And every year, I find people reallydo care, and donate generously. I am blessedto be a 14-year survivor who can continue tocontribute to this worthy cause.

Susan Sonley is an 18-year Reston resident and breastcancer survivor who, for the past nine years running, hasled the highest-grossing National Race team.

CaucusCriticismsUnfounded

The fact that the ArlingtonDemocrats’ process for endorsingSchool Board candidates is such asource of controversy [“Caucus vs.Them,” May 13, 2008] continuesto amaze me. Some people appar-ently do not understand that theDemocrats’ School Board caucusdoes not actually elect anybody tothe School Board. The caucus issimply a process by which a civicorganization (in this case, a politi-cal party) chooses which candi-dates it will endorse.

Moreover, the Democrats’ en-dorsement process is the epitomeof democracy. Would the critics ofthe caucus process be happier ifparty leaders met secretly in asmoke-filled back room to decidewhom the party would endorse?

Complaints by Mr. Antonelli andothers about the caucus pledge aregroundless. The purpose of thecaucus is to allow the DemocraticParty’s committed supporters tovoice their opinion about whomthe party should endorse. Shouldlabor unions, who regularly en-

dorse political candidates, be re-quired to open their endorsementprocesses to non-union members?Should we demand that theAmerican Medical Association, theAmerican Bar Association andother civic organizations allownon-members to participate intheir political endorsement pro-cesses? Of course not.

The Arlington Democrats are notpreventing any other groups - Re-publicans, Greens, unions, civic as-sociations, etc. - from also endors-ing School Board candidates, us-ing whatever procedure thosegroups prefer. And we Democratscertainly would not protest if thosegroups wished to limit their en-dorsement process to their mem-bers and supporters.

Mark HabeebArlington

More ThanEndosementTo the Editor:

In a letter posted to your website, Mark Habeeb, wrote that heis just fine with the Democraticendorsement process for schoolboard, saying it’s an endorsement,

not an election.º No one wins theoffice during the process.ººHewrites: “The purpose of the cau-cus is to allow the DemocraticParty’s committed supporters tovoice their opinion about whomthe party should endorse. Shouldlabor unions, who regularly en-dorse political candidates, be re-quired to open their endorsementprocesses to non-union members?”

No unions shouldn’t, but theyalso do not force out of the racethe people they don’t endorse.ºWhen the United Farm Workersendorsed Hillary Clinton in Janu-ary, they did not force BarackObama to step down, but that’swhat is required of the school

board candidates seeking the en-dorsement of the Arlington Demo-cratic Party.º If you ask for the en-dorsement and do not receive it,you must step out of the race.

That’s not an endorsement, that’sa nomination, which should not beallowed given that Virginia doesnot allow political parties to nomi-nate school board candidates.

I have no problem with Arling-ton Democrats endorsing someonewho then goes on to win in a land-slide.º But I do have a problemwith the idea that the endorsementshuts off the democratic process.

Housing Projects The congregants thought about

selling their two acres but ulti-mately declined. “We’d be abdicat-ing our role,” Lemley said.

To solve their problem as wellas those of the community, thechurch decided to partner withMontgomery County and a privatedeveloper to construct a housingcomplex on their site, 17 units ofwhich will be sold at discountedrates to those with below-averageincomes.

“We had our vision, we had theCounty’s vision, we had thedeveloper’s vision and they allcame together,” Lemley said.

ACCORDING TO MarisaVertrees, religious organizationsdon’t necessarily need to operatea housing facility to do somethingabout the lack of affordable hous-ing in the area.

Vertrees is an organizer with St.Charles Borromeo Church in Ar-lington. She said that her church’sstrategy to combat the housingproblem is to encourage its parish-ioners to get involved.

“If you work on this issue for awhile it starts to feel like you’re

pushing back on a dam,” she said.“We wanted to get people moreinvolved in the political aspect ofaffordable housing.”

St. Charles regularly sends oute-mails to its members alertingthem to ways they can lobby Ar-lington County officials on thehousing issue. Vertrees said thatsome parishioners don’t want theirchurch to get involved in politicsbut that “It’s crucial that they un-derstand that this is something weare called upon to do. We need tomake sure people aren’t living onthe streets or living in substandardconditions.”

FOR RELIGIOUS organizations,getting involved in the affordablehousing market can have its pit-falls. When the First BaptistChurch of Clarendon initially pro-posed its plan, Bartlett said, it lostseveral of its parishioners whowere opposed to it.

But Vertrees said this is to beexpected whenever a church pro-poses something new. “You’re go-ing to have some tension over anytype of change,” she said. “Peoplewill accept it or they’ll leave likewith anything else.”

The Connection

Juneteenth, the celebration of theemancipation of the slaves afterthe Civil War, got its start on June19, 1865.

It was that day that Union General Gor-don Granger and 2,000 of his troops arrivedin Galveston, Texas after the end of the war.Prior to this time, Abraham Lincoln’s Eman-cipation Proclamation had little impact onthe lives of slaves in Texas because the statewas still controlled by the Confederacy.

But after General Granger arrived on theshores of Texas almost 143 years ago, thou-sands of enslaved African Americans in-stantly became free.

Ever since that fateful day, June 19 hasbecome Juneteenth, a day for AfricanAmericans to celebrate their freedom andremember their history.

“It’s basically a celebration of emancipa-tion,” Alexandria Black History Museumdirector Louis Hicks said.

NOWADAYS, Juneteenth is typically cel-ebrated with all-day cookouts, parades,beauty pageants and church services.

But this year, the City of Alexandria is try-ing to tie their annual Juneteenth celebra-tion to a cause larger than the plight ofslaves in America. Hicks said that this year’sJuneteenth celebration in Alexandria willhighlight the struggle of South Africans toovercome Apartheid.

“We are aligning ourselves with our broth-ers in South Africa,” Hicks said.

Part of this year’s Juneteenth celebrationis a concert by the Lesole Dance Program,an African dance troupe that focuses oneducating its audiences in South Africancultures.

One of the dances that they will be per-forming is the Gumboot, which involves theslapping of boots together. Hicks said thatthis dance developed when South Africanminers were banned from speaking to eachother on the job. “It evolved into a form ofcommunication as well as a dance form.”

ARLINGTON is also hosting a Juneteenthcelebration. Trinity Episcopal Church, lo-cated on Columbia Pike near South Court-house Road, will be the venue for “ChangedMy Name,” a choral concert that showcasesthe lives of Harriet Tubman and SojournerTruth.

The Columbia Pike Community Chorus,a mixed-race group that operates out ofTrinity and is led by Barbara Stefan, is per-forming the concert. Stefan said that audi-

ences attending her concert should be pre-pared to learn.

“They’ll get a good dose of history,” shesaid. “[But] it’s not all downer music. Someof the music is really upbeat. Some of theslaves at that time were really upbeat amaz-ingly.”

Reverend Kim Coleman is the head of thechurch and will also be portraying Tubmanin the performance. “It is going to be anamazing celebration,” Coleman said.

Lesole highlights the unique qualities of modernand Afro-Fusion style of dance while educatingaudiences about the history of South Africandances like Gumboot, Indlamu and Pantsula.

❖ “Running Scared, Running Free” Play - Friday,June 20 at 8 p.m., Saturday, June 21 at 2 p.m. and8 p.m., and Sunday June 22 at 2 p.m. - AlexandriaBlack History Museum - 902 Wythe Street, Alexan-dria - $10

“Running Scared, Running Free” is an inspiring,and at times harrowing, story set in the year 1850.Three separate stories of a quick-witted runawayslave, a “conductor” of a safe house on the Under-ground Railroad and a ruthless bounty hunter are

dramatically intertwined in this award-winningsuspenseful play.

❖ Columbia Pike Community Chorus concert –Sunday, June 15 at 4 p.m. – Trinity EpiscopalChurch – 2217 Columbia Pike, Arlington – Free

“Changed My Name” is a cantata composed byBroadway music director Linda Twine. It is a cel-ebration of the lives of Sojourner Truth andHarriet Tubman and features Sharon Scott, so-prano, and Aaron Reeder, baritone, as well asBeatrice Squire as Sojourner, Kim Coleman asHarriet, and Julius Riddick, as narrator.

The Connection

In 1965, Pope Paul VI came to NewYork to seek peace as the Vietnam Warwas getting hot. The pandemoniuma Papal visit can cause was the sub-

ject of a play written a few years later byJohn Guare, the playwright better knownfor “Six Degrees of Separation” and themusical versions of “Two Gentlemen ofVerona” and “Sweet Smell of Success.”

Guare’s confusingly titled “The House ofBlue Leaves” (which has practically noth-ing to do with a house as it takes place inan apartment, or blue leaves as that apart-ment is located in New York’s borough ofQueens) is being presented by the Domin-ion Stage at Theatre One in the GunstonArts Center. Directing the production isMatthew Randall who says he saw the showin the 1970s. He manages to recreate someof the solid feel that the then-popular formof loopy but disturbing “dark comedies” hadduring that period.

The evening is at its best in the first act,not just because most of the strongest castmembers are introduced before intermis-sion, but because the script is at its sharp-est in the early going.

In that first act we meet a man who copeswith a marriage to a woman he truly loves(but who has lost her own touch with real-ity) by clinging to his delusions of talent asa song writer and lounge singer (he’s ter-rible at both) and by indulging in an affairwith a kook of a cook who withholds notsex but culinary activities until she has aring on her finger. There is also the secretwordless presence of a young man who theaudience comes to suspect is the couple’s

soldier son. Relations between these few charac-

ters are clearly and entertainingly estab-lished. Brian Turley does a fine job ofnot singing well,Karen Lange throwspunch lines aboutwith a particularlyNew York sensibility(“I didn’t work at[fill in the blank]for nix!” becomesher mantra when-ever she wants tobeef up her creden-tials to win an argu-ment) and Lois S.Walsh first convinces you her characteris a total nut and then reveals the hu-manity beneath the surface.

From Page 11 The second act tries to be too many thingsat once as the author adds confusions andcomplications to create farce. A trio of nunsbang at the patio window having climbedup for a view of the Pope’s motorcade; amovie starlet, too vain to admit to a hear-

ing loss, shows up andpromptly loses her hear-ing aids; a military po-liceman comes to arrestthe AWOL soldier hidingin the closet at the sametime that a “Man inWhite” arrives to takethe wife off to an asy-lum.

Dominion’s casthandles some, but not allof this overdrive. Eliza-

beth Ness is very good and very funny asthe nearly deaf starlet and all three actressesplaying nuns create well defined characters.

Dominion Stage Presents ‘Leaves’

by Brad Hathaway

The Connection

Although Signature Theatre’s re-cent experiment with sending asmall show from Shirlington toBroadway didn’t work out

(“Glory Days” closed the same day itopened), their effort at bringing big Broad-way talent to Shirlington has been a smash-ing success.

The Kander and Ebb Festival began withHunter Foster and Will Chase filling thelarger of their two theaters with their soar-ing voices in “The Kiss of the SpiderWoman.” It continued with a smaller, almostchamber music version of an earlier Kanderand Ebb musicals “The Happy Time” in thesmaller house. Now it wraps up a fabulousspring with a new production of “The Visit.”This is a musical Kander and Ebb had hopedwould head to Broadway after its 2001 pre-miere in Chicago, but which folded thereshortly after the mood of audiences shifted

Come, Enjoy A ‘Visit’

Where and WhenThe Dominion Stage production of

“The House of Blue Leaves” playsthrough June 8 at Theatre One of theGunston Arts Center, 2700 South LangStreet. Performances are Friday - Satur-day at 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.Tickets are $15 - $17. Call 703-683-0502 or log on towww.dominionstage.org

Stage

in the wake of the terrorist attacks that Sept.11.

It was the last new Kander and Ebb mu-sical to open before Fred Ebb died in 2004.The team’s partnership had begun nearlyfour decades before and had given Broad-way the scores for such major hits as “Chi-cago” and “Cabaret.”

The production here at Signature hasmajor Broadway talent in all departments -on stage and off - and it shows. This is thework of people who know exactly what theyare doing and are working at or near thepeak of their powers.

On stage, the amount of performingmagic is proportional to the importance ofthe part. The story, drawn from the play byFriedrich Durrenmatt, centers on the rich-est woman in the world. Legendary Broad-way star Chita Rivera (the original Anita in“West Side Story” in 1957 and winner ofTony Awards in two Kander and Ebb musi-cals, “The Rink” and “Kiss of the SpiderWoman” - not to mention the original Velma

Kelly in their “Chicago” andRosie in “Bye Bye Birdie”) is thefocus of attention the entiretime she’s on stage, which is ex-actly how it should be.

This fabulously wealthywoman (the character, not theactress) is here to buy ven-geance in the form of the deathof a man who did her wrong inher youth. That man is the sec-ond most important role, and,in it, George Hearn is the nextmost impressive performer. He’salso the holder of two TonyAwards: one for originating therole of Albin in “La Cage auxFolles” and the other for the but-ler in “Sunset Boulevard.” Whenhe lifts his mellifluous baritoneon Kander’s lovely melody for“You, You, You” with Rivera, orall by himself for “I Must HaveBeen Something” he is superb and his act- ing is affecting in a complex role.

There are supporting performers of noteas well, with Mark Jacoby (the original Fa-ther in “Ragtime”) as the town’s obsequi-ous mayor, and Jeremy Webb and JamesHarms also do some fine work.

The effort is sensitively directed by FrankGalati, inventively choreographed by AnneReinking and features a twelve-memberorchestra under the baton of JonKalbfleisch. Susan Hilferty has designedstrikingly sumptuous gowns for Rivera thatmake it easy to believe she might be therichest woman in the world, and the entireproduction plays out on a large space de-signed by Derek McLane and lit with atmo-spheric skill by Howell Binkley. The com-bined effect of all these talents is an eveningof unalloyed theatrical satisfaction.

Bob Cohen, on the other hand, can’tquite overcome the problem of deliver-ing his early lines with his back to theaudience as the starlet’s director. Themost significant contribution of SteveLada isn’t his one sentence speech asthe “Man in White” but, rather, his workstaging the struggles and comic fightscenes including a marvelous flying leapexecuted with flair by Kevin Eaton asthe AWOL soldier/son.

“The House of Blue Leaves” isn’t pro-duced very often, so this is a rare op-portunity to see it played out on stage.

these new housing units.“You have trouble enforcing the

occupancy code you have now,”Beth Wolffe told the County Board.“It is wrong of you to impose anordinance that you know in ad-vance you cannot enforce.”

Others worried that allowingsingle-family homes to be rentedout could lead to overcrowdingand urban blight.

Merryl Burpoe, also ofClaremont, is one of those lead-ing the charge against the pro-posal. She said that she has neverbeen active in local politics before,but had to get involved now be-cause, in her opinion, accessorydwelling units could decrease thevalue of her home.

“Our ability to use our equity forcollege education and family wed-dings would be seriously damagedif the neighborhood changes dra-matically in character,” Burpoesaid. “People don’t move into aneighborhood if they see multiplefamily units or rental units in it. Itdoes damage the neighborhood.”

THE PROPOSAL that the CountyBoard will hear on July 19 has along history. The County’s Hous-ing Commission crafted it over thecourse of more than two years.

Housing Commission ChairMichelle Winters said that, sincetheir proposal was made public inDecember of last year, 39 publicmeetings have been held to discussit.

But this housing proposal goeseven further back than that. In theearly 1980s, a plan to allow acces-sory dwelling units was proposedbut never made it to the CountyBoard after concerns about park-ing issues caused County staff toabandon it. This time, theproposal’s supporters feel thatthose concerns have been ad-dressed.

“Accessory dwelling units is aconcept whose time has come,”former County Board MemberEllen Bozman said.

County Board Chairman WalterTejada (D) has already come outin favor of the proposal. He hassaid that allowing accessory dwell-ing units will increase the amountof affordable housing in Arlington,one of his top priorities as chair-man.

The Connection

Yorktown senior Jaclyn Smith com-pleted her storied prep track ca-reer at Todd Stadium in NewportNews over the weekend, grabbing

a runner-up finish in the triple jump, her pre-mier event, and a seventh in the 400 meters.

A week after she won the top honors atthe Northern Region in the triple jump witha then-season best 38-foot, 11.75-inch leap,the senior standout had a personal-recordof 39-foot, 1.25-inches. That was severalinches behind Deep Run junior BrianaHudson, who had a 39-foot, 5.75-inch leap.Hudson finished two feet behind the staterecord holder Dana Boone of LakeBraddock, who in 1987 leaped 41 feet, 9.25inches.

Even so, Smith, the team’s reigning out-door most valuable runner, stretched herpersonal-best mark over a 1.5 feet from herfirst-place National District finish (37-5),and almost two feet from her 11th-placefinish (36-6) in last year’s state meet.

Smith finished fourth (37-9.25) in thetriple jump three months earlier, in theGroup AAA state indoor track meet atGeorge Mason University. There, she alsofinished eighth in the 300-meters (41.16),and 25th in the 55-meter hurdles (8.98)

In the 400 meters, Smith, seeded eighth,finished in the top heat and was the loneNorthern Region representative. After run-ning a 57.57-in the preliminary heats, Smith

Yorktown senior capstrack and field careerwith second, seventhplace finishes.

On TrackThe Marine Corps Marathon is Oct. 27, 146

days away from when this edition first hits news-stands. And for me, it’s right around the corner.

A month ago (give or take a couple of weeks),I decided to start training for a marathon, some-thing I would have never envisioned months, oreven a year ago. But after listening to multiplecoaches preach goal setting and how it can trans-form a life, I figured I’d go along.

Which brings me here; to the “On Track” col-umn, which will run in the first week of everymonth, and only in the “Arlington Connection.”I reside in Arlington and am training onArlington’s roads and trails, and the race is annu-ally one of the county’s biggest sports stories,bringing in many as 22,000 runners last year.

I vividly recall Oct. 28, 2007—the date of lastyear’s race—and watching in amazement asmasses of people, with seemingly different causesor charities, weaved around the corner on Route27, and then headed up the hill through Arling-ton Cemetery to the finish-line at the Iwo JimaMemorial.

There were mom’s, middle-aged women,toned teenagers and plenty of seniors—all cross-ing the finish line for personal triumph, sensingthey’ve achieved a feat most of the nation’s popu-lation marvel at. Inspirational music was blaringnon-stop, and a cheesy announcer almost madeeach participant feel as if “you’re a winner, you’vedone it!?!”

So I decided then I wanted to run. But awhacky schedule and the winter delayed thedecision, and more importantly the training. Oncethe temperature (finally) turned warm, I wentforward, first purchasing running shoes and ac-cording gear, and then mapping a regularregiment.

Brooks and Vincente Reynes Mimo rounded out the topten. Last year’s champion, Rashaan Bahati finished 19th.

Of the 123 riders across 18 teams, including the Tourde France bound Slipstream-Chipotle presented by H3O,35 were Americans. The purse was $15,000.

“Between the position of the event on the race sched-ule and the reputation it has developed over the years,the CSC Invitational has become a major objective on all

the team schedules,” said race director Rob Laybourn ina press release.

Laybourn is the founder of www.arlingtonsports.com,a non-profit founded in 1998 to promote amateur andprofessional cycling. The group also hosted the U.S. AirForce Cycling Classic, a 12.5-kilometer race that beganat the Air Force Memorial and weaved through CrystalCity. It was held May 4.

Marymount University recently named junior la-crosse player SpringAnne Hatfield and juniorswimmer Greg Murtha Athletes of the Year, whilefreshmen basketball players, Shaun Ingram and BethWiggins were selected as the school’s top newcom-ers.

Hatfield was a first-team All-Capital Athletic Con-ference selection, and set or tied six career, seasonor single game records for the 8-8 Saints this season.

She finished the season with 70 goals, 28 assistsand a total of 98 points, all three of which are schoolrecord. In two years, Hatfield is tied for first in schoolhistory with 124 goals, is third in career assists with49 and second with 173 total points. Hatfield,Crownsville, Md. native, won CAC Athlete of theWeek honors twice this past season.

In the CAC swimming championships Murtha, aSouth Windsor, Conn. native, won the 100-butter-fly, the 100-freestyle and was second in the50-freestyle. He set school records in all three events

this season, and received two First Team All CACawards and one Second Team.

Ingram, a St. Stephen’s & St. Agnes grad, was se-lected as the CAC Rookie of the Year en route toaveraging 9.8 points and 3.4 rebounds this past sea-son. He led the team in three-point field goalpercentage (.429) and free-throw percentage (.857).

Wiggins, a Burke, N.Y. native, helped the Saints’women’s basketball team to a 23-6 record and a tripto the Division III NCAA tournament. She averaged5.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.6 blocksper game.

It’s the school’s first year handing out the respec-tive awards, which were voted on by the Marymountathletic staff.

Sixteen MU athletes made either first-team or sec-ond-team All-CAC teams, with sophomore KathleenBrown being named first-team All-Atlantic Region byD3hoops.com, and Ashley Smith receiving the CACFemale Swimmer of the Year honor.

Marymount Names Athletes, Rookies of the Year

CorrectionIn last week’s “Yorktown Softball Upset,”

Patriot head coach Al Richardson was in-correctly credited with receiving the Na-tional District Coach of the Year. That honorwent to Washington-Lee’s CarolynMajorowka, who led the Generals to a thirdplace district finish and first winning sea-son in 10-plus years.
