The Connection

If Hillary Clinton is elected, theeconomy will grow by 10.4 millionjobs nationwide while under aTrump administration, the economy

would lose 3.4 million jobs. This was thefinding of a recent report by Moody’s In-vestors Service economist Mark Zandi.

On Aug. 8, outside the Court House Metroentrance, U.S. Rep. Don Beyer (D-8), stateDel. Charniele Herring, and economistJared Bernstein used the study as the cen-terpiece for a press conference about howa Clinton administration would grow jobsand see more investment in local infrastruc-ture. But others, like Beyer’s Republican op-ponent for the 8th District seat, say there’smore to the economic impacts of the Clintonplan than the study and press conferencewould make it seem.

For Virginia, the Clinton supporters saidthe Zandi projection would mean 271,000new jobs in Virginia.

“There are two visions of the economyhere,” said Bernstein, former chief economicadvisor to Vice President Joe Biden. “Oneis Hillary Clinton’s, which is inclusive andbenefits the middle class and lower incomepeople across the income scale … the otheris Trump’s pre-Obama economy … whichexacerbates income inequality.”

For Beyer, the biggest appeal of theClinton plan is the added infrastructureimprovements. In particular, Beyer saidClinton’s plans for new infrastructure in theregion would include extensive repairs forthe Arlington Memorial Bridge and long-term repairs for the Metro. Beyer said thatthe Metro system needs better maintenanceof their jumper cables, the source of manyfires on Metro lines over the last year.

“This is putting us on thepath to a stronger future,”said Beyer. “This is about im-proving the quality of life inthe region.”

Both Beyer and Herringargued that better transpor-tation infrastructure in D.C.will create a better work en-vironment and better jobs forNorthern Virginia. Herringalso made a link between in-frastructure maintenanceand job creation.

“It is frustrating for con-stituents to not know howthey will get to work,” saidHerring. “Infrastructure isjob creation. Transportationis key to our economy.”

Beyer also took a momentto attack Trump’s businesshistory and his claims thatbankruptcies and unpaid la-bor was just part of doingbusiness.

“I’ve been a businessmanfor four decades,” said Beyer,who owns Beyer Volvo,“That’s not what we do.”

The Trump camp rejected the validity ofthe analysis. A statement on the Trump cam-paign website questions the credibility ofZandi’s previous reports favoring the 2008stimulus plan.

“In 2009, [Zandi] claimed that in 2012we would have 141.4 million payroll jobsif stimulus passed and only 135.8 millionwithout it,” said the Trump campaign state-ment. “In 2012, there were 134.2 millionpayroll jobs (annual average) or 134.9 mil-lion (4th quarter over 4th quarter). Zandi’sstimulus projection was not achieved untilthe [second] quarter of 2015.”

Bernstein noted that there was a marginof error for predictive models, but said ingeneral Zandi’s projections for economic re-covery were very close.

“[Zandi] ran these plans through tradi-

tional models,” said Bernstein. “Anyonedoing that would have gotten the same re-sults. When you’re looking at mass depor-tation, you’re slashing revenues.”

Like many Americans, Charles Hernickfinds himself unable to fully support eitherplan. Hernick is running as a Republicanagainst Beyer in the 8th congressional dis-trict and says he doesn’t fully support ei-ther Clinton or Trump’s plans, though hesees benefits and downsides in each.

“I have a lot of concerns with the Clintonplan ... I’m concerned about Trump’s taxplan too,” said Hernick. “[Clinton’s] yourclassic tax and spend plan. There are acouple of issues with that. Northern Virginiais relatively well off compared to the restof the country. A lot of those tax receiptscome from Northern Virginia for the typesof stimulus spending … But that type ofstimulus spending only works when the

construction sector is in a bad way, whichhas largely recovered.”

Hernick said the way to stimulate theeconomy was cutting taxes for small busi-nesses and helping businesses competeon international markets. Hernick sug-gested that the United States lower itscorporate tax rates to meet those in Eu-rope to help make their businesses com-petitive and encourage more multina-tional corporations to move to NorthernVirginia. But here Hernick also disagreedwith Trump’s plan. While Trump’s planincludes a 15 percent corporate tax cut,Hernick says he wouldn’t cut it by morethan 10 percent.

“We can’t just run on deficit spending,”said Hernick. “He doesn’t talk aboutwhere our spending cut would be, so a15 percent cut is too far. Folks I talk to inthe business community just want to beable to compete with European busi-nesses. That’s a critical issue … If able tocut corporate tax rate, we will see apretty quick reinvestment and growth inthe economy. Also need to look at newmarkets and additional tax revenues. I’mOK with regulating marijuana like alco-hol such that it can be sold and taxed.

We have to think outside the box and beflexible here. That’s an area where I agreewith Don [Beyer].”

But while Hernick and Beyer both agreethat fixing the Metro needs to be a regionalpriority, Hernick was skeptical of the ben-efit Clinton’s infrastructure plan would haveon regional job creation. For Hernick, onepossible solution would involve bringing onbusiness partners to privatize portions ofthe rail lines.

“Infrastructure is a critical need in North-ern Virginia and there’s some weak points,particularly the Metro,” said Hernick. “Tothe extent that we need to spend moremoney on infrastructure, I’m OK with that,but I think they’re overestimating the stimu-lative effect of that … There’s a role therefor tax dollars there, but as a stimulus planthat’s a joke.”

Becoming the new principal ofKenmore Middle School would bedifficult enough, but David McBride

is stepping into a role Dr. John Word hadoccupied for 18 years. McBride says he’sready for the challenge, and Arlington Pub-lic Schools seems to agree. On July 20, TheArlington School Board appointed McBrideas the interim principal of Kenmore MiddleSchool for the 2016-2017 school year. Offi-

cially, it’s an interim job, but McBride sayshe’s not looking at it that way. McBride saidhe’s going into the school year as the prin-cipal, and interim or not, that’s the role he’sgoing to fill.

“I’m excited for the opportunity as far asprincipalship goes,” said McBride. “I thinkthis is a great fit. I know this community.”

“[McBride] has spent his entire educa-tional career with Arlington Public Schools,”said Superintendent Dr. Pat Murphy in astatement by Arlington Public Schools(APS). “[McBride] is a student-centered

leader who believes in and supports thewhole child model in his work with stu-dents, teachers, staff, and the community.Through his work, he has demonstrated acommitment to developing staff and engag-ing in leadership activities that support stu-dents and families. His ability to build rela-tionships and shape a vision for academicsuccess for all students by creating a cli-mate of excellence will be an asset toKenmore.”

Murphy also spoke to staff and adminis-trators before the meeting about the choiceof interim principal, but few introductionswere needed. McBride has been an asistantprincipal at Kenmore for nine years.McBride has previously worked in Arling-ton schools as an English teacher at

mitment to make sure that everykid will find a place at school. At aschool like ours, that’s not easy, butJohn was very dedicated to mak-ing sure the school was for stu-dents. He didn’t lose sight of that.To take long-term vision and thento see kids who had challengescome back to say “I’m OK”, andmore often than not they’re doingreally well, that’s the cool thingabout long-term commitment tothe school. I think I learned thatfrom him.”

Nancy Birnbaum, president ofthe Kenmore Middle School PTA,said Word was a terrific principalbecause he was always willing tolisten to parents and faculty, evenwhen he disagreed. According toBirnbaum, Word was always look-ing to improve the school, and asthe community moves forwardwith a new principal at the helm,Birnbaum said there are a few ar-eas where the school can focus andimprove.

“We need to ensure that newteachers coming into the schoolhave the tools and support thatthey need to be successful,” saidBirnbaum. Birnbaum saidKenmore could also continue toimprove is in communicationswith parents.

“[The school] needs to keep par-ents in the loop,” said Birnbaum.“I know from a personal stand-point there have been times wherethat wasn’t as good as it couldhave been. Not bad, but it couldbe improved.”

Even before the school yearstarts, McBride says he’s makingan effort to reach out to differentgroups of parents and administra-tors to set up clear lines of com-munication. McBride also said it’simportant that the school admin-istration keep in contacts with resi-dents and the community aroundthe school.

“We need to make sure our com-munication is good and that we’regood neighbors,” said McBride,noting that some neighbors he’dspoken with had concerns abouttraffic at the school. McBride alsosaid that he was meeting with agroup of Hispanic mothers at theschool who have formed a closeknit group to identify the needs fortheir students.

“There are pressures and chal-lenges,” said McBride. “[Middleschool] is a big time of transitionand change for students.”

The school itself has been goingthrough changes, particularly inthe use of technology, and McBride

says he’d like to see Kenmore con-tinue to be a leader in integratingtechnology into curriculum.

“This school could really be a21st century school in how we ac-cess communication,” saidMcBride. “We always try to be upto speed or ahead of the technol-ogy curve. We’ve had smart boardsand smart technology for a while,and we’ve seen teachers be reallyproficient with using that for pre-sentations, but we’ve expandedthat so it’s no longer the teacherbeing the presenter, but studentsare working in small groups withpanels and smart board to worktogether. While the teacher is theexpert, they become more of a fa-cilitator to help students explorethese problems together.”

As the classroom technologiesevolve, McBride says the schooland ways of teaching studentshave to evolve with them. For aprincipal, McBride says one of thechallenges can be just keeping upwith those changes. McBride com-pared walking into a classroom atKenmore to walking into a scenefrom Star Trek, with informationprojected all around the walls ofthe room. But in other ways,McBride says the school still hasto fulfill the very same fundamen-tal education requirements that italways has.

“We’re pretty cutting edge forusing alternative ways to get stu-dents engaged in their learning, toexplore their interests in a richlydiverse and supportive environ-ment,” said McBride. “It’s exciting,it’s a different way to have middleschool. We still have plenty of tra-ditional practices, but you can kindof see on the horizon that educa-tion in the U.S. has the potentialto change and become personal-ized… The challenge is to makesure, as we welcome in new staff,that we remain focused on themain thing: high quality instruc-tion. My challenge is to make surewe’re moving in a positive direc-tion.”

Intense scrutiny on the safety and main-tenance record of the Washingtonregion’s Metro system is resulting in con-tinuing revelation of lapses, and ongo-

ing inconvenience with repair schedules shut-ting down entire lines and the end of late nightservice.

Reporting on Metro accidents, derailmentsand incompetent and/or inad-equate maintenance might evenlead commuters to choose to

climb in their cars instead. Wouldn’t it be saferto drive, if Metro can’t get its act together toeven inspect the tracks?

No, not even close.Riding commuter rail is 10-30 times safer

than driving, according to several studies, andeven small increases in transit ridership resultin significant decreases in overall commutingdeaths

Public transit overall has lower crash ratesper unit of travel, reports Todd Litman in ananalytical research paper, A New Transit Nar-rative, published in 2014 and cited by the Na-tional Center for Transit Research. Intercity andcommuter passengers have about 1/20th thetraffic fatalities per 100 million passenger-miles as automobile travel, he writes. Urbanrail passengers have about 1/30th the fatali-ties as car travel, and bus passengers about 1/60th the traffic fatalities per 100 million pas-senger-miles as automobile travel.

“Transit travel has about one-tenth the traf-fic casualty [injury or death] rate as automo-bile travel, and residents of transit-orientedcommunities have about one-fifth the percapita crash casualty rate as in automobile-ori-ented communities,” reports Litman. “Peopletend to underestimate automobile travel risksand exaggerate public transit risks.”

Meanwhile, Virginia has 1,063 structurallydeficient bridges, according to the AmericanRoad and Transportation Builders Association,citing data from the U. S. Department of Trans-portation Federal Highway AdministrationNational Bridge Inventory, 2015. Maryland’snumber of structurally deficient bridges is 306,and the District of Columbia has 10 structur-ally deficient bridges, according to the samereport.

In fact, a bridge used by 78,000 vehicles aday, including thousands of Northern Virgin-ians commuting daily into D.C., the MemorialBridge, is so corroded it has major weight re-strictions, buses are not allowed to use it, andit would likely have to be closed within a fewyears, had Congress not recently allocated $90million to the National Park Service for emer-gency action towards a $250 million rehabili-tation project.

Risk and safety are complex issues. You’resafer taking Metro than driving, much saferon a commuter bus. And one thing we do know,if you are riding in car, buckling your seatbeltmakes you much safer.

HomeLifeStyle

By Marilyn Campbell

The Connection

Before school begins later this month, takingthe time to organize home and school sup-plies can take the stress out of the transition

from a laid-back summer to a structured, schedule-driven school year. Local home design and organiza-tional experts share ideas to help parents add prac-tical organizational tools to their home without sac-rificing their sense of style.

“Organizing your home to make this transitionsmooth can make all the difference in the world,”said Chuck Khiel, vice president of FRED Home Im-provement in Bethesda. “Giving thoughts to howspaces around your home are used during the schoolyear can help with this organization.”

Using space efficiently and creating designatedspaces for itemslike backpacks,jackets, sportsequipment andclothing will keepa home organizedand prevent theback-to-school ne-cessities fromovertaking ahome’s aesthetic.“For example, ifyou have a mud-room, specifyingspaces for back-packs, shoes andsports appareltakes the guess-

work out of where the kids should be storing theirstuff when they enter your home,” said Khiel. “Con-sistently storing items in the same place will becomea timesaver in the morning as the kids are gettingready for school.”

Small home decor items can add a sense of styleand serve a practical purpose. “Get a decorative hookto hang their backpack up when you come in,” saidSallie J. Kjos of Grey Hunt Interi-ors in Chantilly. “It doesn’t need tolook junky or kiddish. Keep inmind, you want it all to be func-tional for your kids, but flow withyour home.”

From tests to homework, a newschool year often brings an on-slaught of paper, stacks of whichcan create an unsightly scene in ahome. “Storage is key,” said Kjos.“Get some fabric-covered boxeswith lids for your children to stackup next to their desk to put schoolwork in that has been graded incase they need to refer back to it.”

A pegboard is another inexpen-sive accessory that can be used toorganize piles of papers. “You canfind them at a hardware store,”said Arlington-based personal or-ganizer Bonnie Atwater of Orga-nized for You. “Get them cut to fit

into your particular space, like behind a door or overa desk. You can also paint them a bright color to adda touch of whimsy and put them in a spot that’s eas-ily accessible.

Making items visible but tasteful can boost orga-nization without creating a design emergency. “Dryerase calendars and storage cubes in bright colorscan go in your kitchen, mudroom or any room thatyou want to serve as a command central,” said inte-rior designer Cyndi Ibach of Elegant Interiors byCyndi in Alexandria. “When school things are orga-nized in a location where everyone can see them,everyone has access to important information.”

For school supply organization, Kjos suggests: “In-stead of using pencil holders, get your mason jarsout, fill with crayons, markers and pencil to makefor a cleaner, more organized look.” Remember toadd charging stations to your children’s desk or studyarea.

Keep school notices, permission slips and otherforms of paper in plain sight without creating clut-ter. Take an old [picture] frame…and staple ribbonacross it in whatever your decor colors are and usepaper clips for your child to put up homework as-signments, certificates, or other reminders,” said Kjos.“You can hang this above the desk.”

Kjos also offers an innovative way to organize lunchsupplies for easy access. “One of my favorite orga-nizing for school tricks is inside of my pantry door,”she said. “I use over-the-door shoe holders and put

all their dried food for lunchboxes in there to make packinglunches easier and to reduce allthe boxes and clutter in my pan-try.”

A neat, streamlined closet canalso take some of the stress outof the morning mad dash to findshirts, socks and shoes. “Get acute decorative basket andstack their clothes for the weekby outfits so you don’t have todo it every evening,” said Kjos.

If constructing new storagespace is an option, considerdual-purpose units, advises EricTovar, president of ChurchillClassics in Poolesville, Md.“Chalkboards and corkboardsin other areas of the home pro-vide a place to leave and readnotes for each other so every-one is aware of daily activities.”

Practical and chic ideasfor making a homeback-to-school ready.

On Aug. 6, the Arlington Histori-cal Society launched the first ar-chaeological dig at the Ball-Sell-ers House — the oldest structurein Arlington County — in 30 years.The project is led by archaeologistPatrick L. O’Neill, who has con-ducted archaeological digs at Ar-lington House and Calloway Meth-odist Church in the Hall’s Hillneighborhood of Arlington. Likeeveryone else on the project,O’Neill is donating his time andexpertise.

The archaeological project isaimed at uncovering evidence ofa section of the property that wastorn down sometime before 1920and also hopes to unearth cluesabout how the residents of this270-year-old house lived.

Scores of volunteers fromthroughout northern Virginia arehelping more seasoned archaeolo-gists with the Northern VirginiaArchaeology Society dig, sift, andclean the artifacts.

In the first two days of the dig— scheduled to continue until theend of September — the volun-teers discovered more about howthe forebears ate, drank, and lived.An early “test pit” measuring 13inches deep and 18 inches in di-

ameter yielded glass from threedifferent bottles of varying eras,oyster shells — a popular fooditem over the last two centuries —an 18th century nail, and a hand-made brick.

The archaeological project isunderway in advance of the instal-lation of a rain garden in Octoberon the historic property to helpkeep rainwater away from thecabin’s stone foundation. It is partof Arlington County’s StormwaterWise program to reduce runoffinto storm drains.

The Ball-Sellers House was builtin the 1740s by farmer John Ball.William Carlin, tailor to GeorgeWashington, bought the cabin af-ter Ball’s death. Three generationsof the Carlin family lived there andCarlin became the namesake of theGlencarlyn neighborhood.

The Ball-Sellers House (5620Third St., South) will remain openon Saturday afternoons (1-4 p.m.)throughout the dig for free toursof the house and property. MarianSellers donated the house in 1975to the non-profit Arlington Histori-cal Society.

When the county’s first buildingcode was adopted in 1935, a sys-tem was created of using custom-ized index cards to record astructure’s builder, subdivision andalterations large and small.

Now, with Arlington County’snewly digitized collection of“house cards,” online access to

some of the history and physicalevolution of nearly every buildingin the community is available.

All one needs is a street nameand/or block number to start thehunt.

These cards are now availableat propertysearch.arlingtonva.us/Home/Search.

I Can't WorryAbout It

'It' not being "the cancer", as "Forrest, ForrestGump" described the cause of his mother'sdeath (it was on a Tuesday, I believe). Rather, 'it'being everything else in life. There's a peculiarsense of indifference that comes over you afterreceiving a diagnosis of cancer. Moreover, thesense of urgency of all things not cancer-relateddissipates as well.

I mean, given your diagnosis, how can any-thing else really matter? And in terms of yoursurvival, there is nothing more important quitefrankly, so 'everything else' pales in comparison.This is not to say that you can't be bothered withanything, but I will admit to this: everything(most things) become a bother. Time-sensitivetasks may force your hand (almost literally), buteven then, it's often a half-hearted endeavor.

Don't get me wrong, it's not as if I'm so pre-occupied with my survival that I can't functionbeyond my cancer perimeters; I can. It's morethat whatever the task, it becomes challenging;more mentally than physically (thank God),although I do have my deficits. In most instanceshowever, I do finish what I start, but it's that startthat stops me.

It's almost as if I need an actual push to getme moving emotionally; not because I'm in painor lacking red blood cells/fuel from heavy dutychemotherapy; I'm just stuck. And it's not as ifI'm unaware of the consequences of my inac-tion, I certainly am. It's more that the 'cons-equences' be damned, one-quarter speedahead. It's as if I'm a ship leaving harbor, I needa tug boat equivalent to get me out to see what Ican accomplish.

Invariably, I get it done, not in the timeframe that a "normal"/healthy person might, butmore so in the time frame in which anextremely reasonable and accommodating per-son might expect. I make my appointments; I'mmindful of time, day and date; I'm aware ofpeople, places and things; and I'm cognizant ofrequirements, demands and expectations. Butnone of it seems to have a hold on me. It sort ofbrushes by.

I don't mean to be disrespectful or inconsid-erate (although I can understand how it mightappear or be interpreted as such), it's simplythat, at least from this cancer patient's perspec-tive, I can't, nor do I want to, get out of my ownway. It's somewhere between inexplicable, inex-cusable and unexplainable. Hardly am I suffer-ing, as many cancer patients are — and as I wasduring those early heavy-duty chemotherapyinfusions (six hours-plus per treatment, no appe-tite, no energy, no motivation, no hair, minimalhope). Nevertheless, this malaise/lack of enthu-siasm/lack of concern for the big picture con-sumes my days and nights. I'm too caught up —consciously and sub-consciously, with the smallpicture: my life as a stage IV, non-small cell lungcancer patient whose oncologist originally gavea "13 month to two-year" prognosis. Try puttingthat in your pipe and living normally.

As much as I have in fact lived my life inrelative good spirits, a cancer diagnosis puts asort of governor on the bounce that used to bein your step. How do you ever forget the cir-cumstance that might be killing, or at leastabbreviating, your life expectancy? Symptomsthat you really feel and any number of whichyou imagine, constantly tug on your figurativecape. You can try to be Superman, but the real-ity is, cancer is a hell of an adversary, and plead-ing with it to stop its insidious effects is time notwell spent. Still, giving into it and not living yourlife as if you weren't afflicted is much easier saidthan done, and it's pretty difficult even saying it.

The accumulation of all these things con-stantly weighing on you is the toll that it takes.The result is for me, oddly enough, even if Idon't worry about one thing, I worry about theother — and vice-versa. And that's the recurringproblem: you're damned if you do and damnedif you don't.

Sierra Club CitesPollution in 22203

The Virginia Chapter of the Sierra Clubreleased a report last month entitled “TheTop 25 Virginia Localities with the HighestToxic Air Emissions.” Of the top 25, Arling-ton zip code 22203 ranks No. 24. Arlingtonwas victim to more than 175 thousandpounds of toxic pollutants released into theair in 2014, the latest toxic release datamade public by the Environmental Protec-tion Agency.

The report is based on the EPA’s 2014Toxic Release Inventory, a collection of airpollution data available for most ZIP codesacross the United States. This data is ana-lyzed to create the final Sierra Club report.

Arlington, a newcomer to the top 25, con-tains The Pentagon Reservation. The reser-vation released tens of thousands of poundsof chemical compounds listed in the report.
