The Connection

Controversy and discussion sur-rounding plans for Rosslyn wasso intense, the meetings had tobe divided into two five-hour

sessions. The County Board’s July 21 re-cessed meeting primarily focused on theWestern Rosslyn Area Plan, while the July22 meeting discussed exclusively theRosslyn Sector Plan. While public concernsregarding the Western Rosslyn Area Planlargely centered around the addition of afire station in place of park land, it was theRosslyn Sector Plan discussion that couldhave the largest visual impact on the county.

Discussion on the Rosslyn Sector Planprimarily centered around height and den-sity issues. The Rosslyn Sector Plan permitsa floor area ratio (FAR, a ratio measuringdensity) of 3.8 for commercial office andhotels, while residential properties can haveup to a 4.8 FAR with special exceptions.However, the county is currently allowedto permit up to 10 FAR if a site is identifiedas having important commercial benefits.While the Rosslyn Sector Plan does notchange the existing commercial, hotel, orresidential FARs, it does recommend theCounty Board be able to raise density above10 FAR if the proposed building is consis-tent with the economic revitalization aimsof the Rosslyn Sector Plan. However, lan-guage was later added to the document thatemphasized that any application request-ing a density increase above 10 FAR wouldface exceptional scrutiny.

The plan’s building height guidelines aredescribed as a “Peaks and Valleys” approach.Some buildings in the area have restrictionsto either above or below 300 feet to encour-age a diverse skyline. As with density, theplan allows greater flexibility for buildingheight. “The guidelines are not regulationsand should be considered as flexible as longas the intent outlined … is achieved,” readthe Rosslyn Sector Plan’s height restrictionsguidelines. “In the spirit of affording maxi-mum creativity, projects that do not exactlyfollow the letter of every provision in thedesign guidelines, but nonetheless demon-strate an alternative approach that achievesthe intent of the plan, should be recognizedas a valid alternative.”

In general, however, the plan notes thatrecommended building heights should befollowed unless the applicant can presentcompelling reasons to leverage additional

building height.Chris Forinash, chair of the Arlington

Planning Commission, and CommissionMember Brian Harner both attended themeeting and expressed concerns laid out bythe Planning Commission.

Harner said the commission approved ofthe “Peaks and Valleys” approach but withspecification that building height limitationsprotect good view opportunities for topfloor residents of nearby buildings and thatthere is ample daylight access in the streetsand public spaces in the surrounding build-ings.

A public observation deck is set to be lo-cated in the Central Place office tower,which will offer views of downtown Wash-ington D.C. as well as Arlington Cemetery,Georgetown, and the National Cathedral.However, Harner lamented that the “val-leys” in the height restriction plan didn’tprotect westward views of Arlington fromthe top of the observation deck.

“If Arlington residents got to the top ofthe observation deck and looked at thebroad face of an adjacent building withouta view of their own community, what arewe saying about our valuing of our own

community?” said Harner.The Ballston and Rosslyn Business Im-

provement Districts both wrote letters to theCounty Board expressing concerns that theheight and density restrictions would stifleeconomic growth. The Arlington Chamberof Commerce concurred, expressing con-cerns about density and height maximums.

“It is our firm belief that the plan, as cur-rently crafted, will lead to stagnation ratherthan implementation,” wrote Chamber ofCommerce Chair Kevin Shooshan and Presi-dent and CEO Kate Roche on behalf of thechamber.

Sally Duran, chair of Arlington’s Eco-nomic Development Commission, said thatthe plan was overly prescriptive and theheight restrictions would diminish the eco-nomic viability of the sector.

The North Rosslyn Civic Association, how-ever, wrote to the board expressing a beliefthat the density and height restrictions weretoo loose. In its letter to the board, the NorthRosslyn Civic Association said the peaks andvalleys concept was poorly defined and itsbenefits towards enlivening the skylinewere vague.

Chair Mary Hynes emphasized that the

board will exercise discretion in approvingbuildings that would exceed the height limi-tations or would inhibit views identified bythe staff as scenic, which does not includewestern-facing views of Arlington.

“Do you really think the tops are going tolook like this?” Hynes said in reference to ahypothetical view of the Potomac with apenthouse suite in the way. “We have guide-lines about, when you get up this high, itshould be interesting or luminous. Youshould be able to look through it. Peaks andvalleys goes with interesting tops to makea unique skyline. My view is, we’re lookingat the absolute worst possibility here. If anyboard approved this, they ought to be shot.”

“[If] this becomes terribly burdensomeand things go terribly awry, this board mem-ber will certainly be willing to revisit it,”said County Board Member Libby Garveyregarding increased height and density al-lowances, “but I think we need to give thisa try first.”

The Rosslyn Sector Plan is set to guidethe area over a 25-year timespan. TheRosslyn Sector Plan also outlines majortransportation changes in the area, includ-ing converting Lynn Street, Fort Myer Drive,and Kent Street into two lane roads. Thiswill also remove the Fort Myer Drive un-derpass on Wilson Boulevard. The 18thStreet Corridor will extend east, from N.Quinn Street to Arlington Ridge Road, andwill include extensive bicycle and pedes-trian access. Additional bicycle and pedes-trian access is planned to cross over I-66and the George Washington Memorial Park-way to connect Rosslyn to the Mount VernonTrail and Theodore Roosevelt Island. Sev-eral improvements are planned for theRosslyn Metro Station, including a rede-signed entrance fully open to Fort MyerDrive and Moore Street.

The Rosslyn Sector Plan was approved bythe County Board in a unanimous vote.

Virginia HospitalCenter ‘Rocks’To the Editor:

In my mind, there is no uncer-tainty as to why Virginia HospitalCenter (VHC) is one of the top 100hospitals in the country. I have hadtwo recent experiences with myelderly mother who was a patientthere — inpatient back in the win-ter and outpatient in the Emer-gency Room on July 26, 2015.During her inpatient stay, she wascritically ill. She was treated withthe utmost kindness and compas-sion, and everyone who was partof her highly skilled multi-disci-plinary treatment team genuinelycared about her well-being.

Though my mother is a ratherunique lady for her age and hasher full faculties, there was neverany hint of ageism that enteredinto the way in which she wasdealt with. Thanks to all whocared for her with due diligence,she recovered to celebrate her 97th

birthday in March of this year.Her most recent visit on July 26

was to the emergency room for ahead injury from a fall. Onceagain, the treatment she receivedfrom VHC was impressive. Fromthe start of when the securityguard expediently found a wheel-chair and facilitated where I couldquickly park my car amidst acrowded lot to the CT tech whowas the epitome of professional-ism in all respects, it just got bet-ter and better.

Once she was seen and tendedto by the physician, physician as-sistant and nurse, it was apparent,again, that every employee at VHCtruly cares about their patients.The caliber of the staff is immedi-ately apparent, and the staff hasthe vital people skills required ofany service-oriented organization.Most importantly, they are shiningexamples of loving what they dowhich contributes to them beingso successful in their performance.

Though on both occasions, mymother’s visit to VHC was worri-some and stressful for me as herdaughter who was profoundlyconcerned about her, the warmreception, genuine sense of caring,

kind outreach, and skilled profes-sionals were comforting every stepof the way. The Arlington commu-nity, specifically, and the Washing-ton Metropolitan region, broadly,is so very fortunate to have thismedical institution in their midst.For top quality care and highlyskilled multi-disciplinary person-nel, one could not ask for more. Ican only affirm that they deserveto be in the top 100 hospitals ofthe country. As the cool cats wouldsay, “They rock.”

Morally Wrong,And Counter-ProductiveTo the Editor:

Thanks to Mary Kimm of theConnection (Editorial — “Back-packs for All,” Connection, July15-21, 2015) and Ronald Baker’sletter to the Connection for high-lighting the need for backpacksand the way to support this initia-tive. However, your readers also

need to know about the “VirginiaBack to School Supplies and Cloth-ing Allowance” (aka: Backpacksfor All) that was introduced in theVirginia General Assembly in 2014and 2015.

The Connection article notedthat we live in an affluent areawith these needs, however, inother areas of the state, less afflu-ent areas, the need is greater.

For example, the Richmond In-ternational Raceway, seating ca-pacity of 107,097, could be filledmore than twice with the numberof Virginia Children living in pov-erty, most of which are in familiesexperiencing the deepest poverty.

In addition to the Connectionappeal to support the backpackprogram via charitable contribu-tions, an approach that SALT alsoembraces, there is also need toadvocate for efforts by the state toaddress the issue. The article callsfor partnership, but the state isabsent, not a part of the neededpartnership. Funds are alreadyavailable for government supportof backpacks for impoverished stu-dents via the federally fundedTANF Block Grant. What is miss-

ing is public awareness and sup-port to tap these funds and usethem for the intended purpose.

Support has come from stu-dents, with the leadership of RaeMoar, a freshman at ThomasJefferson High School. In her sev-enth and eighth grade years ofschool and in her freshman yearat Thomas Jefferson, she collectedover 800 signatures from studentsat her school, her church and com-munity to help give impoverishedchildren a strong start in schooland give them a learning boost.The legislation requires supportfrom your readers. Readers that donot know who represents themcan go to this web site: http://virginiageneralassembly.gov/.

SALT is proud to have advocatedfor the “Virginia Back to SchoolSupplies and Clothing Allowance”and promoted support for smartpolicies for kids and their families.Failing our children today is notonly morally wrong; it is alsocounterproductive, ultimatelyleaving us less competitive in theglobal community.

The Connection

The Wakefield football team’s2014 season is a tough act tofollow.

The Warriors experiencedtheir first winning season since 1983, andtheir 7-3 regular-season record was theschool’s best since 1972. Wakefield hosteda playoff game for the first time in programhistory and defeated Potomac Falls 25-18before falling to Tuscarora in the 5A Northregion quarterfinals.

Eight months later, many of the athleteswho helped Wakefield produce one of thebest seasons in school history are back forthe 2015 campaign. Ask some of the War-riors about their expectations for the com-ing season and they seem focused on con-tinued success.

“We’re going to aim high — aim as highas we can,” rising senior linebacker KevinGreenwell said. “Expectations are set wayhigher than last year.”

“We’re going to approach it the same waywe approached it last season,” rising seniorrunning back Kareem Hall said, “we’re notgoing to let any team sleep on us, we’re notgoing to sleep on any team.”

Rising senior running back Leon Youngsaid he wants to “raise eyebrows” in the falland “make it a show.”

Third-year head coach Wayne Hogwood,however, isn’t so sure the Warriors knowwhat’s coming when they open the seasonin September.

“This year, for us as coaches, we knowthat people are going to come give us the‘A’ game and that we’re not going to be asleeper on anybody’s radar because we’veproven ourselves over the last two seasonsthat we can at least be competitive, but Idon’t think [the players] know it yet,”Hogwood said. “I think the success of lastyear came so fast that they just expect tobe successful — which is part of it. We wantthat mentality and that attitude, but we’vegot to get the same work and we’ve got tolearn that little small things that shot us inthe foot a year ago or two years ago can be

detrimental to having the type of seasonthat we think we should have this year.”

For the Warriors, 2015 is uncharted ter-ritory.

“We’ve never been ‘the hunted’ atWakefield,” said Hogwood, a 2000 gradu-ate of the South Arlington school andformer quarterback who held the program’ssingle-season passing yardage record for 12years. “That makes it difficult.”

On offense, Wakefield will need to fill thevoid at quarterback left by 2015 graduateRiley Wilson, who started for two seasonsafter transferring from Yorktown. The topcandidate to replace Wilson is rising juniorTim Stroble. Rising sophomore ColtonPoythress, who started on the freshmanteam during his eighth- and ninth-grade

years, is also competing for the job.Helping ease the young quarterbacks’

transition to the varsity level will be run-ning back Young, who was a standout lastseason and is expected to have an evengreater role this year.

“I think the offense at this point goesthrough Leon,” Hogwood said. “… If he wason any team in the region, the coach wouldwant to get him the ball 20 times a game ormore.”

Hall and rising senior receiver ChrisRobertson also figure to be offensive threats.

The offensive line returns four starters:rising senior left tackle Julius Johnson, ris-ing senior center Miles Kerby, rising seniorright guard Ryan Jones and rising junior

For the second year in a row (and the sixthtime in the league’s 63-year history), theWashington Golf and Country Club Light-ning swimmers won the Country ClubSwimming and Diving Association champi-onship meet. This victory capped off an un-defeated season for the Lightning.

Unlike the other local swim leagues thatwrap up with individual all-star meets, theCCSDA swim season culminates in a two-day “Champs” meet that is a team event.Each of the league’s 15 teams sends twoswimmers per event. All of the swimmerscompete on day one and only the top 16swimmers in each event return on day twoto score points for their teams. AlthoughWGCC only won seven individual eventsand one relay event, its depth proved toomuch for the competition. In almost everyevent, both Lightning swimmers finished inthe top 8 — a feat unmatched by any otherteam.

The Lightning’s only double winner wasKiera Johnson. She won the girls’ 10&Uback in a time of 17.40 — which set a newpool record at Lakewood. Johnson also wonthe girls’ 10&U fly in a time of 16.40.

WGCC also had a handful of single win-

ners. Izzy Bernasek won the girls’ 8&U backin a time of 21.46. Amanda DiMeglio wonthe girls’ 12&U IM in a time of 1:17.79.Charlotte Thomson won the girls’ 12&Ubreast in a time of 38.68. Richard Gentrywon the boys’ 14&U breast in a time of31.32 — new CCSDA Champs meet andLakewood pool records. Finally, ZanderZidlicky won the boys’ 18&U fly in a timeof 27.51.

The following swimmers also earned

points for the Lightning: 8&U swimmersCaroline Klauder, Matthew Lepre, AndrewMaria, Mackie Repke, Maren Schwarz, WillScribner, Matthew Shay, and Emme Yoder;10&U swimmers Arav Bhargava, LukeBernasek, Rowan Clancy, Sean Curran, LilyDarcey, Grace Loper, Grace Maria, ConnerMcCarthy, Liam Thomson, and LucasZidlicky; 12&U swimmers Rajan Bhargava,

The Connection

Rain poured from a grayMarch sky. Drenchedracers wound their waythrough Washington,

D.C. before spilling across the fin-ish line at R.F.K. Stadium, their run-ning shoes heavy and soaking wet.

“We were freezing cold and shiv-ering the entire time,” said AnnGoettman of McLean. “We lookedlike we’d been through a car wash.”

Goettman and others on her teamof would not let the elements deterthem from completing the 2015D.C. Rock’n’Roll Half Marathon.They’d spent the last four monthsrunning, walking and liftingweights as part of a

Team in Training (TNT)fundraising effort to support theAlexandria, Virginia-based Leuke-mia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).Participants pledged to raise moneyfor a charity in which they believeby training for and competing inmarathons, triathlons, cycling andhiking. In turn, they get access pro-fessional fitness coaches who guidethem as they set fitness goals, boosttheir endurance, lose weight, and get tonedtaut.

“You have an opportunity to give backfrom a philanthropic perspective, but you’realso putting yourself out there to get in thebest shape,” said Jaclyn Toll, Deputy Execu-tive Director of the Leukemia & LymphomaSociety.

“It brings you together with other like-

minded individuals, people who are into thecombination of philanthropy and health andwellness.”

A central figure on Goettman’s team isLynne O’Brien. In fact, the group came to-gether in O’Brien’s honor after she was di-agnosed with leukemia three years ago.Daunted by the challenge, but motivatedby the prospect of hope, she ran her first

half marathon in 2013.“A huge benefit is that we were all get-

ting in shape and were uniting around acause,” said O’Brien. “I lost weight and itwas great for my stamina and overall health.I’m 53 and it’s great to know that I can runa half marathon.”

The coaching staff, says O’Brien, has aneffective program that whips racers into

shape before each event. Lessonsrange from using proper form dur-ing a workout, stretching to preventinjury and hydration and nutritionto sustain the level energy neces-sary to complete race.

“They break it down into smallparts, and on one day we’ll fast runfor shorter distance and the nextday,” she said. “They get pretty spe-cific. They’re telling you how tomove your arms and hold yourhead and even how you shouldstep.”

The metamorphoses are oftenbeyond the physical. “In terms oftheir outlook on exercise and theirnew found love of long distanceexercise and endurance, the trans-formation unbelievable transforma-tion,” said Skye Donovan, Ph.D.,department chair and associate pro-fessor of Physical Therapy atMarymount University in Arlingtonvolunteers as coach for TNT.

One of the factors in the evolu-tion of the mindset of the teammembers is camaraderie and theknowledge of a higher cause.

“New drugs are coming down theline,” O’Brien said. “Doctors say it’san exciting time for them. Since I

was diagnosed three years ago, five newdrugs have come into the market.”

Many train for and endure physical fetesthat seemed unattainable at first thought.“I am not an athlete, I’m a busy, 53-year-old mom of five kids. I’m busy,” said BethO’Shea of McLean. “But the next thing youknow I’m getting myself in shape, meetingnew people and going on long walks.”

BackOn Track

Having reread last week’s column atime or two now, I’ve realized that Ineglected to update you regular readers– especially those of you who read mymost recent pre- and post-scan columns:“Abyssful” Ignorance and Scant Know ForSure Anymore – on the previous week’sscan results. Once again, I have defiedthe odds – maybe statistics would be abetter word? Nevertheless, my tumorsremain stable, as do I, and I remainamazingly lucky as well. As to the reasonswhy I continue to “thrive,” perhaps it’sdue to the marketing campaign of theHMO that is responsible for my care.

Certainly I’m living proof that all is notlost when lost is where you seem to be.Six and a half years ago at my diagnosticground-zero: 2/27/09, my oncologistoffered little hope. Though he was hon-est and direct in his presentation of thefacts, statistics, treatment, etc., he wasnot particularly encouraging. To invoke aquote from Lt. Col. Henry Blake from along-ago M*A*S*H episode: my oncolo-gist didn’t exactly “blow any sunshine upmy skirt.” It was quite the opposite, infact. When we questioned him furtherabout my chances of living beyond twoyears or even beyond five years (twotime frames he cited), he did acquiesceand agree that sure, it’s possible I couldbe the one (almost literally) that couldsurvive beyond the rather grim prognosisof “13 months to two years” that I wasgiven.

Not that I doubted him, but whenyou’re a lifelong non-smoker, asympto-matic with no immediate family historyof cancer; being told at age 54 and halfthat you have late-stage lung cancer andhave maybe two years to live, is not sim-ply a hard pill to swallow, it’s an impossi-ble pill to swallow and yet swallowingnow becomes the least of your problems,especially considering that heavy-dutychemotherapy was scheduled to begin insix days. That’s when you realize you’renot in Kansas anymore, and when yourhair falls out a few weeks later and youstart to look ashen gray in the face andhollow in the eyes – and feel even worsethan you look, it’s easy to start believingthe extremely discouraging news given toyou by your oncologist.

But somehow you must – not believe,because believing can be very disheart-ening. And “disheartening” leads to andcreates negativity, and negativity is almostas harmful as the chemotherapy itself.Cancer may have a mind of its own (fig-uratively speaking), but so do you, andusing it to “laugh, think and cry” as JimValvano encouraged (“a full day” as hecalled it) in his ESPY speech in 1993while accepting the first-ever Arthur AsheCourage and Humanitarian Award, isperhaps what makes one stronger – orpossibly strong enough, emotionally. Andgiven the ravaging effects of chemother-apy, you’re going to need that emotionalstrength to compensate for the physicalweakness you’re likely to experience dur-ing your treatment. Cancer is difficultenough on its own; you don’t need tomake it any worse.

right tackle Ian Harris.On defense, the Warriors’ 3-4 scheme is

anchored by rising senior nose guard An-thony Tham, who is also a kick-blockingforce on special teams. Greenwell is a tack-ling machine at inside linebacker. Risingsenior defensive end Maurice Gaskins, andoutside linebacker Robertson are also de-fensive playmakers.

Three of Wakefield’s first four games areon the road. After opening at Broad Run onSept. 4, the Warriors will travel to faceYorktown on Sept. 11. Wakefield will hostWashington-Lee on Sept. 18 before travel-ing to face Falls Church on Sept. 25. TheWarriors then have four of their final sixregular season games at home, starting withMount Vernon on Oct. 2.

“I think anything under seven wins, wemessed it up,” Hogwood said of Wakefield’sexpectations. “… If we come out and dowhat we’re supposed to do and our playersplay at a top level and we coach at a toplevel, I think seven wins or higher is theexpectation we should have in our confer-ence (13) every year.”

How the Warriors handle being “thehunted” will likely impact Wakefield’s levelof success in 2015.

“I want them to be a little bit arrogant, tothink that anybody that comes to play us isgoing to get a great game and that we canbeat anybody who we step on the fieldwith,” Hogwood said. “But at the same time,you can’t just show up to win. We’ve got toput the work ethic behind those things tomake all that come to fruition.

“… I just hope that eight wins last yearand a playoff win didn’t fill up their belly.”
