ithin a month ofthe opening of thefirst of 24 Colum-bia Pike Super

Stops at Columbia Pike and WalterReed Drive, Arlington CountyManager Barbara Donnellanhalted the planned construction ofthe 23 remaining Super Stops fol-lowing an outcry about the cost.

Super Stops are larger bus stopsdesigned to improve the commutefor bus riders.

The newly opened Super Stopcan shelter 10 to 15 passengerswith seating. It is equipped withthe real time electronic andprinted schedule information;maps for bus routes and a floorembedded with a heating systemfor the cold weather. It cost tax-payers $1 million to design andbuild this Super Stop.

In an announcement on Friday,March 29, Donnellan said: “SuperStops are a key long-term transitinvestment for our county. Theyare integral to our efforts to trans-form Columbia Pike to a moretransit-oriented Main Street … Wehave an obligation to the taxpay-ers of Arlington, The Common-wealth and the nation to ensurethat our infrastructure projects aredelivered in a timely, cost effec-tive manner. We will do better.”

— Roshan Ghimire

Super Stop can shelter 10-15 passen-gers with seating and has a weatherprotection system.

The $250 million Arlingtonstreetcar is moving full speedahead, with federal officials

on the verge of announcing whetheror not the project will be partiallyfunded by Uncle Sam. But manypeople in Arlington want to derail theproject before it reaches its destina-tion, including newly elected CountyBoard member Libby Garvey. She saysa bus-rapid transit system would giveArlington County all the benefits of astreetcar system at 20 percent of theprice.

“In fact, itcan do it bet-ter,” saidGarvey. “Whenyou do nothave a dedi-cated lane, ason ColumbiaPike, andthere’s an acci-dent on thetracks or some-thing happensin a lane oftraffic, thewhole street-car systemcomes to astop.”

C o u n t yBoard memberC h r i sZ i m m e r m a ndisagrees thatA r l i n g t o nwould be able to get all the benefitsof a streetcar line at 20 percent of thecost. When asked about Garvey’s cri-tique, Zimmerman said Cleveland’sHealthLine bus-rapid transit systemcost $200 million to build, and it hasdedicated lanes — something thatwould not be possible on ColumbiaPike.

“The impact, the real payment forthese investments, is in the real estate,which is where we derive most of ourrevenue,” said Zimmerman. “And theimpact on the real estate is tremen-dous.”

Streetcar:Desire orDisaster?Arlington residentsdivided over county’stransit proposal.

“One of thebiggest flaws isthat they canapprove multi-million dollarcontract toconstruct thestreetcar withno competitivebidding.”

See Residents Divided, Page 7

OPPONENTS OF STREETCARS say the projectwould divert money and resources from other spend-ing priorities, most notably affordable housing. Oneof the chief concerns raised by many who opposestreetcars is the process County Board members havetaken in recent months, including a contentious votelate last year that created guidelines for public-pri-vate transportation projects. During a heated publichearing on the issue, many people raised concernsthat the process is deeply flawed — a concern thatlingers now that county officials are on the verge ofentering into a new public-private partnership forthe streetcar system.

“One of the biggest flaws is that they can approve

multi-million dollar contract to construct the street-car with no competitive bidding,” said PeterRousselot, former chairman of the Arlington Demo-cratic Committee who is now with a group known asArlingtonians for Sensible Transit. “I think that’s atremendous mistake in light of the experiences inother parts of the state.”

Rousselot pointed to a study released last year bythe Southern Environmental Law Center criticizingVirginia’s Public Private Transportation Act, whichthe center said put profits ahead of sound transpor-tation planning. Supporters of Arlington’s efforts toenter into a public-private partnership to constructa streetcar line along Columbia Pike say streetcarswill attract riders who would never think of riding a

Ballston BID

In a bygone era, the old adage “good fencesmake good neighbors” might have beentrue — but not in today’s Northern Vir-

ginia, and definitely not in Ballston.Our region’s neighborhoods are what make

us great, thanks to thoughtful planning, de-velopment, and cooperative relationships. Thephilosophy of the Ballston Business Improve-ment District (BID) puts it this way: “It’s goodbusiness to have great neighborhoods.” In fact,Ballston has the most balanced mix of com-mercial and residential properties among ad-jacent communities, with a 50/50 blend ofbusinesses and homes. As a result, Ballston’sreputation as a great place to live, work andplay continues to grow.

More than 119 commercial properties arethriving in our midst, including nearly 60 res-taurants. Ballston was recently voted the mostwalkable neighborhood in Arlington, earninga rating of 90 from walkscore.com. With dedi-cated lanes for riders and seven CapitalBikeshare stations, the neighborhood is amongthe most bike-friendly around. It’s a key hubfor the Metro transit system, and just eightmiles from Reagan National Airport,but residents can easily stroll to FreshFarm market and hear live music.

Yet the BID’s commitment to ensur-ing a great neighborhood goes beyond livabil-ity. A true brain trust calls Ballston home: De-fense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA), National Science Foundation, Officeof Naval Research, Accenture, and VirginiaTech Advanced Research Institute, among oth-

ers. This concentration within a five-block ra-dius, means Ballston is populated by the mostscientists and technologists per square mile inthe world. This synergy of organizations at-tracts like-minded private sector companies,think tanks and nonprofits focused on research,science and technology.

To capitalize on this rich heritage of innova-tion, the Ballston BID created the LaunchPad

Challenge as a key element of itsstrategic plan. The LaunchPad Chal-lenge seeks the next great idea oroutside-the-box invention in sci-

ence, technology, healthcare or any other field.In May, the top 10 idea-makers will be placedwith mentor teams, who will help them meeta set of planning milestones and foster achieve-ment. The teams will present to a panel ofjudges in November. Three semifinalists willbe chosen to vie for a life-changing opportu-nity to go before Ted Leonsis, the ultimatejudge. The winner, in addition to donated freeoffice space and a $15,000 cash prize, maysecure the support of Leonsis in implementinghis or her dream.

The goal of the LaunchPad Challenge, saysTina Leone, CEO of the Ballston BID, is to “en-courage imagination, discovery, passion, col-laboration, accessibility and inclusiveness.” Itis a groundbreaking approach to increaseawareness and appreciation of Ballston as thetop choice for business, entertainment, educa-tion, and living.

Ballston won’t just be our region’s epicenterof research and innovation alone. Somedaysoon it will evolve into a nationally recognizedmodel of revitalizing great neighborhoods.

bus.“Everywhere you put in a street-

car line you get an increase in rid-ership,” said Randy Swart is aspokesman for Streetcar Now. “Weare expecting a 40 percent in-crease in ridershipif we can get thestreetcar over busesof any kind.”

COUNTY OFFI-CIALS say the dealhas already beendone, and years ofland-use planningdecision have al-ready been madewith the expecta-tion that a trolleyline will be con-structed along Columbia Pike.Critics say it’s never too late toundo bad planning decisions, andthat Arlington county governmentis flexible enough to craft a bus-rapid transit system in place of astreetcar line.

“I think the trolley is an incred-ible waste of money, and it’s go-ing to be bad transit for ColumbiaPike,” said John Antonelli, one ofthe leading opponents of the sys-tem. “A bus-rapid transit system al-

lows the vehicles to change routeson a whim if something happenslike a fire or road construction.That can’t happen with a trolley.”

County staff and four of the fiveelected county board memberssaid the streetcar is needed along

Columbia Pike be-cause it can carryabout twice asmany passengersas a bus. Popula-tion estimatesshow 14,000 newapartments andc o n d o m i n i u m swill be built alongthe corridor in thenext two decades.Supporters saystreetcars will beneeded to handle

that kind of capacity, which theysay cannot be handed by a bus-rapid transit system.

“Streetcars will encourage moredevelopment along ColumbiaPike,” said John Kirkpatrick, amember of Streetcar Now. “Arling-ton County hasn’t paid much at-tention to Columbia Pike becausethey’ve focused all their attentionon Rosslyn and Ballston. This is theturn for south Arlington to havesome attention.”

“Streetcars willencourage moredevelopmentalong ColumbiaPike.”

The Connection

The Madison Warhawks andYorktown Patriots each havetalented goalkeepers. Duringthe teams’ spring break

matchup on March 28, the Warhawks andtheir senior netminder bested the Patriotsand their up-and-coming freshman.

The Madison boys’ lacrosse team beatYorktown 6-5 during the Ram Slam tour-nament at Robinson Secondary School. ThePatriots led 3-2 at halftime and 4-3 with8:08 remaining in the third quarter, but theWarhawks scored three straight goals toclose the third and held on to win.

Yorktown freshman goalkeeper MasonPollack finished with 14 saves. Head coachGreg Beer said it was the best Pollack hadplayed all season, but he also said Madisonsenior goalkeeper Matt Hayden was the dif-

ference.“We’ve seen the two best goalies in the

region already — the kid from Westfield[Tucker Winfrey] and Hayden,” Beer said.“Those are the two best goalies in the re-gion by far. Offensively, we got the shotswe wanted, [but Hayden] made more plays.He made the plays and that’s why theywon.”

Madison head coach Rich Hodge saidHayden’s performance rescued theWarhawks from some selfish play.

“We’re happy with the win,” he said.“[Yorktown is] a good team. Their goalieplayed very well. … I thought they playeda very good game. I think sometimes whenwe play too much as individuals, some ofour guys try to do too much and it just killsus. … Luckily, Matt was awesome in cagetonight. … He just has ice in his veins. He’snever too high, never too low.”

Yorktown senior attackman Joe Crawfordsolved Hayden for a game-high three goals.Crawford scored back-to-back goals in thesecond quarter, giving the Patriots a 3-2halftime lead.

“He’s fantastic,” Beer said. “He’s just oneof those kids; he does everything. He canpass, he can shoot, he’s just the consum-

mate leader on the field [and] off the field.”Junior midfielder Kyle Harwood and se-

nior midfielder Andrew Liddle each scoreda goal for Yorktown. Crawford, Harwood,junior attackman Nico Pollack, sophomorelong-stick midfielder Tim Aldinger anddefensemen Jonathan Shears (senior) andConor Shears (freshman) are some of theteam’s top players, along with Mason Pol-lack in the net.

“He’s only going to get better,” Beer saidabout his freshman goalkeeper.

Senior Kyle Mancini had two goals forMadison. Senior Kyle Rowe had one.

With the loss, Yorktown fell to 2-3. ThePatriots will travel to face Chantilly at 7:15p.m. on Wednesday, April 3.

“We just want to compete with (defend-ing district champion) Edison and try to getthe National District back,” said Beer, whosePatriots last won the district title in 2011.“… We play all these [tough] games early.… We want to play Concorde [District teamsand] we want to play the Madisons, theLangleys, because it gets us battle tested. Ifeel it helps us down the road.”

Madison defeated Robinson 15-9 on Mon-day to improve to 3-0. The Warhawks arelooking to take the Liberty District title awayfrom four-time defending state championLangley. Madison lost to the Saxons in thedistrict final each of the last two seasons.

“Our goal all year is we want to competefor a district title,” Hodge said. “We’ve beenthere the last couple years. The boys havereally focused on how do we get over thathurdle, how do we beat Langley. They puta lot of work into it.”

Madison will face Hamburg (New York)at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, April 4 atShenandoah University.

With the impendingwarmer weathercomes an increased number of

children participating in outdooractivities. Some local health careprofessionals and researchers areissuing words of caution.

“More children will be outsideplaying with friends, riding bi-cycles and engaging in contactsports. These activities and otherswhere impact is a possibility placechildren at risk for a concussion,”said Dr. Faith Claman, who holdsa doctor of nursing practice and isan assistant professor in the MalekSchool of Health Professions atArlington’s Marymount University.

Local educators say it is impor-tant to know the facts. “A concus-sion is a brain injury, which oftenoccurs as a result of a fall or blowto the head or body, said Dr. DalilaBirem, associate medical directorof Molina Healthcare of Virginiaand Fairfax Community HealthCare Network. “Normally, thebrain is cushioned by fluid, butwhen jolted violently, the braincrashes into the skull, resulting indamage to the soft tissue.”

Birem says that while somepeople may lose consciousness,more common symptoms of a con-cussion include headache, blurredvision, fatigue or irritability.

“Others may experience nosymptoms at all [and] with rest,most people fully recover from aconcussion,” said Birem. “How-ever, severe concussions or re-peated incidents may lead to moreserious consequences, such as

problems with speech, mobility orlearning.”

Researchers at George MasonUniversity in Fairfax are takingaction. “Concussions are runningrampant across the country rightnow and it seems that no one,from middle school student ath-letes to professional players, areexempt,” said university spokes-woman Catherine J. Probst. “As aresult, some states are enactingnew laws to change this concus-sion culture. Virginia’s GeneralAssembly [passed legislation] thatrequires student athletes and theirparents to receive annual concus-sion education. … The law alsostates that schools form concus-sion management teams to pro-vide and document concussioneducation for students, staff,coaches and parents.”

Implementing the legislationpresents challenges, however.“Many Virginia public schools lackthe necessary resources to prop-erly deliver concussion education,”she continued.

To address the dearth of re-sources, researchers in Mason’sCollege of Education and HumanDevelopment (CEHD) joined theAdvancing Healthcare Initiativesfor Underserved Students(ACHIEVES) project to offer effec-tive medical care and education.

“The project has already reachedmore than 80,000 student ath-letes, staff, coaches and parents todeliver more effective medical careand concussion education,” Probstsaid.

ACHIEVES offers services thatrun the gamut from implementingan electronic medical record-keep-ing program to offering bothonline and face-to-face sessions.Probst says university researchershope the ACHIEVES project willserve as a model for other schoolsystems at the local, regional andnational levels as more states en-act concussion laws.

Researchers Address‘Concussion Culture’Education andproper healthcare are keys.

Just in case anybody is paying attention,and my behavior plays some kind of role/has any effect on my outcome whatsoever,I’d just as soon be one more than the other.However, receiving a terminal cancer diag-nosis (stage IV and let me remind youthere’s no stage V) out of the blue at age 54and a half, less than three months afterburying your widowed mother, tends toupset this delicate balance. If I’ve heard itonce – since my diagnosis – I’ve heard itmultiple times, and from trusted, respectedsources: “It’s all about you, Ken.” Andwhen the oncology nurse sticks that needlein your arm for the first time and thenhooks you up to a six-hour I.V. drip con-taining chemotherapy drugs “cocktailed” topoison you (kill your tumor-carrying whiteblood cells actually), the decision aboutwhom to care about most, you or someoneelse, begins to take on a life of its own.

Controlling that other life has becomeone of my biggest challenges. It’s very easyto lose yourself in the midst of a metastaticmalignancy when your oncologist gives you“13 months to two years” to live. For allanybody knows, it’s your attitude or evenyour personality that keeps you alive asyour treatment ramps up. However, think-ing and doing for others is extremely diffi-cult at this time, a time when you canbarely get out of bed. Chemotherapy has away of leveling the playing field: You can’tdo anything for anybody, least of all foryourself. As you begin to bounce back afteryour treatment (if there is an interval), yousemi-regain your composure in anticipationand preparation for the next infusion.Nevertheless, before too long, the mentaldemons begin to take hold yet again,attempting to tear down every emotionalunderpinning you’ve devised. No one saidit was going to be easy. In fact, one of ourbest friends, Lynne, a recent breast cancersurvivor said quite the opposite: “Ken, thisis going to be the hardest thing you’vedone.” Of course, she was 100 percentcorrect.

Over time and over treatment, youbegin to assimilate the demands: the infu-sions, the frequency, the doctors’ appoint-ments, the diagnostic scans, the lab work,the side effects, the straight-on effects, thehighs, the lows, the hopes, the prayers, thestatistics; until it becomes, at least for me ithas, sort of mundane and part of a processthat takes over your life – for some veryunfortunate reasons. You accept it because:it appears there are very few exceptions.Cancer rules and thinking it doesn’t is disre-spectful almost and incredibly naive.

Giving respect to such a dreaded – butprevious to my diagnosis, not a part of myfamily’s history – disease, helped guide meback to becoming more selfless and lessselfish; understanding that reclaiming thatdignity and integrity in this context anyway,can have a powerful effect on both myselfand those around me, which in turn worksback to me (the old what goes aroundcomes around-type karma) and ultimatelybenefits and enhances my life. The longerI’ve survived with this diagnosis, the morecharacteristic of the pre-Kenny-with-cancerI’ve become. That’s not to say that I don’toccasionally slip and fall – emotionally, butnow, getting up is not nearly so difficult.I’ve been there, and I’ve done that.Besides, I’m happier being me, and happi-ness can work miracles.
