TRANSCRIPT
President’s MessageWe are delighted to report that the new Neighborhood Conservation Plan (NCP) wasapproved at the Lyon Park Citizens Association's March meeting and has beenforwarded to Arlington County. The unanimous vote in favor of the plan is atestament to the deep dedication of the volunteers who worked tirelessly to updatethe previous NCP, which was far outdated. We extend our heartfelt thanks to thatfantastic team and to all the members of the community who supported their effortsby responding to their questionnaires, commenting on the draft report, and comingout to vote.
The NCP will guide the county's decision-making on future improvements to LyonPark. Here is an idea for something everyone can do now to make our belovedcommunity an even more beautiful place to live. Spring is a time for cleaning, and it isalso a good time to begin celebrating Lyon Park's centennial. You can do both byjoining our families in making a commitment to pick up at least 100 pieces of trashthis month. (It's also a good way to commemorate Earth Day 2019, which is April 22.)It is something that you can spread out over the entire month or do in one day—muchless if you walk along Washington Boulevard.
Speaking of picking up, we need to pick up more volunteers to help plan ourcentennial celebration, which will go far beyond tidying up Lyon Park. As of now, theplanning committee is looking at staging several large-scale events between Friday,October 18, and Sunday, October 20, and a few smaller ones along the way. Their aimis to incorporate the entire community—residents young and old and businesses.They expect to announce the official list of events at the Lyon Park Spring Fair on May18. What realistically can be accomplished depends on how many people volunteer tohelp out. You can sign up now at https://lyonpark.org, or at the next LCPA meeting onWednesday, April 10. While you are at it, volunteer to lend a hand for the Food TruckFestival on May 4 and the Spring Fair on May 18.

The Scoop on Scooters Annemarie SelvitelliDid you miss the discussion on Nextdoor about scooters? Don’tworry; we’ve got you covered with information from ArlingtonCounty.
Here are Arlington County’s top FAQs.
What does SMD stand for?It is an acronym for Shared Mobility Devices.
Where can I ride SMD’s?● E-scooters are allowed to be ridden on streets, but not on
sidewalks or trails.● E-bikes are allowed to be ridden on streets and sidewalks,
but not on trails.● Pedal bikes are allowed to be ridden on streets, sidewalks,
and trails.
Do pedal bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters have different trafficlaws?Pedal bikes, e-bikes, and e-scooters must abide by the same lawsas motor vehicles in terms of obeying posted traffic regulations,signs and signals.
What is the top speed of SMDs?Before the pilot program the top speed for e-scooters was 15mph and e-bikes was 20 mph. The pilot requires that speeds belimited to 10 mph for e-scooters and 15 mph for e-bikes.
Where should I park the SMD at the end of my trip?Be considerate every time you park an SMD by not obstructingpedestrian or vehicular traffic. Some SMD companies mayenforce penalties on users who consistently park devices inimproper ways, including banning users from devices entirely.Some specific parking tips include:
● Do not block travel lanes● Do not block driveways● Do not block fire hydrants● Do not block walkways● Do not block wheelchair ramps● Do not block pedestrian call buttons● Do not block bus stops● Do not block building entrances, including ramp or
walkway railings and ADA door push buttons
Additionally, do not park on private property unless the SMDcompany specifically allows it at a certain location.
What can I do if an SMD is left on my property and I want itremoved? How about if an SMD is left blocking a sidewalk?If you are capable of moving the mis-parked SMD to a properlocation, you may do so. The bikes and e-scooters arelightweight and relatively easy to move. Or you may call thecompany and ask them to remove it. Company contactinformation appears at the right. The company name andcontact information is on the SMD. Per the permit, companiesare required to remove the SMD within two hours.
Permitted Operators:
● Bird (e-scooters): 866-205-2442 or [email protected]● Bolt (e-scooters): 866-265-8143 and [email protected]● JUMP (e-scooters): 844-505-9155 / (e-bikes): 833-300-6106;[email protected]● Lime (e-scooters, e-bikes): 888-546-3345 or online requestform● Lyft (e-scooters): 628-230-0317 or [email protected]● Skip (e-scooters): 844-929-2687 and [email protected]●Spin (e-scooters): 888-262-5189 or [email protected]

Springtime has arrived, Earth Day is April 22, and Lyon Park’sAnnual Mulch Spreading Event is scheduled for Saturday, April13, 2019, from 8:00 AM to noon. Arlington County will dumploads of mulch around the perimeter of the park. Volunteers areneeded to load and transport the mulch in wheel barrows to bespread around the base of the park’s 60 trees. The mulch givesthe park’s trees a tidy appearance, but provides essentialbenefits to the trees:
● Improves absorption of rainwater and reduces theevaporation of soil moisture
● Improves soil structure. Decaying mulch transforms in-to topsoil and adds nutrients
● Promotes the growth of feeder roots● Protects against damage by lawn equipment● Smothers weeds and grasses competing for nutrients● Helps alleviate soil compaction around roots; compac-
tion is a tree killer● Keeps soil cooler in summer and warmer in winter
Did you know that Lyon Park is privately owned by thecommunity and receives no support from Arlington County forthe maintenance of its grounds and trees? Volunteers save thecommunity more than $2,000 by spreading the mulch ratherthan hiring a landscape firm. The event is also a great familyactivity. We encourage children and adults of all ages toparticipate.
Please show up at the Lyon Park Community Center at 8:00 AM,Saturday, April 13, 2019. It would be helpful to bring
● a bottle of water● work gloves● a wheel barrow● a pitchfork or hard rake.

Lyon Park’s Centennial – Chapter Three Elizabeth SheehyIn February of 1924, work began on building the Lyon ParkCommunity Center. Though it was habitable by the winter of 1924-25, it was far from complete. To raise the necessary funds to finishthe project, the community decided to hold a one day carnival in July1925. The fair featured a grab bag, Dutch Supper, along with icecream, cakes, and candy, but the highlight (and biggest money-maker) was a raffle to give away a Ford Touring car. In all, thecarnival generated $778.69 in profits. The day culminated in thelaying of the cornerstone of the building, and it was celebrated as agreat success. Earlier that month there was a Fourth of Julycelebration, with fireworks and ice cream. While it only netted$10.09, it was deemed that “a good time was had by all” in the 1925Committee minutes.
In the ensuing years, the Lyon ParkBoard of Governors held variations
of an annual fair. Some years it ran for several days, though that seems to have proved lesssuccessful. Sometimes it morphed into a Strawberry Festival. Then, as now, it was an importantevent bringing together families and fundraising.
Other popular events that happened at the Lyon Park Community Center in the early yearsincluded regular card parties (bridge, pinochle, and more), Halloween parties, Vaudeville shows,and pantomimes. While the building was not designed with a stage, curtains were quickly added tosupport these dramatics. In fact, the curtain rings can still be seen on both walls near the ceiling onthe south end of the main room.

SAY
CHEESE
The Complete Euripides Margaret DeanVolume Five closes the Euripides canon with Alcestis. Medea, Helen and Cyclops. In the foreword theeditor makes clear that he sought crisp translations to render the texts contemporary. This translationdoes not rhyme, but the cadence and meter are attractive and speak to the reader. Perhaps, moreimportantly, Euripides raises issues still relevant today: power, honor, fate, family.
The editor briefly recounts each play, pointing out cultural norms and expectations, e.g., the audience ofmen would have found Medea’s successful vengeance against Jason profoundly disturbing. The playsthemselves are relatively short; the commentary not.
The translators’ notes and editorial commentary reveal considerable detail on the structure andproduction of Greek drama. Stylized masks identified characters and placed them in relation to othercharacters. By having actors change masks, a play only required three actors. Of course all the actorswere men. No reputable women would even attend a play held in a public place. The commentary alsodescribes variations of plots already well-known at the time.
Plays generally opened with the chorus, or in the case of Medea only the nurse, providing the background, and filling inrelationships, age, personality (lucky or unlucky) of the leading characters. The role of dance or music is not well known.
Euripides was not popular with the upper class. Playwrights presented their And so my thoughts have led me to believeThat childless men and women lead livesMore fortunate than those with sons and daughters.Although they never know the joy and painThat children bring, they avoidA much greater sum of trouble.Households filled with childrenare slaves to the work and worry of their care…
new works at competitions, e.g., the five-day competition/festival ofDionysus. Euripides seldom even placed. Euripides, unlike his competitorsSophocles and Euphorion, would have been expected to stage a playdesigned to unsettle its viewers. In 431 BC that play was Medea. Despite thelist of reasons for disliking Euripides, brash, young, Periclian raised, theworking class enjoyed seeing the imposing figures of Greek mythology thrustinto difficult circumstances. Euripides’ characters “less remote, morehuman, delighted the ... newly empowered lower classes.”
The chorus’ view on Medea’s actions, killing her two sons,was fatalistic: no matter how well man did, if the gods and the fates hadother plans all was already lost (see box above right).
Let us say the children turn out perfectDoes fate care if fate has other plans?

Stop, Go, Stop, OK, Now Go, Oops…..Not Yet: The Washington/Wilson Boulevard Intersection Annemarie Selvitelli
If you’ve ever taught someone to drive in Arlington, youprobably learned early to avoid left turns at the westboundWashington/Wilson Boulevard Intersection. Riding throughthat turn with an inexperienced driver can be hair-raising. Evenexperienced drivers have trouble making that turn!
Now, Arlington County has decided enough is enough, and theintersection needs attention. The goal is safety for pedestrians,cyclists, and motorists.
In late March 2019, Arlington will start the process toeliminate the left turn from westbound Washington Boulevardto Wilson Boulevard during construction to improve theClarendon Circle intersection.
Look for the change after sidewalk improvements along Washington Boulevard between Clarendon Boulevard and North HudsonStreet are complete.
● This section of Washington Boulevard will narrow.● The current two lanes will become one.● The left turn to Wilson Boulevard no longer be allowed.
After the construction company completes the work, it will re-open the two through lanes. The possibility of making a left turn ontoWilson Boulevard will be relegated to history. At the end of the construction, you’ll see a tighter intersection with shorter pedestriancrossings, wider sidewalks, and improved alignment of Washington and Wilson boulevards.
www.lyonpark.org • April 2019 Page 13
Staples Site RedevelopmentMany Lyon Park residents use the convenient Staples store onWilson Boulevard, and may be unaware it’s going to close. KitchenUnited (https://www.kitchenunited.com/) will renovate and occupythe site. Their business premise is that providing a turnkey (meaningfully operable when it is handed over to the restaurant owner),capital-light location for restaurants helps them expand their reachto off-premise diners. It caters to the growing food delivery trend.
Here’s a summary of what to expect:● The building’s footprint will remain the same, as will the
parking lot. Kitchen United will construct a walk-in area offWilson, and coordinate delivery pickup will be through thealley.
● They plan 10 to 11 kitchens in the building. Currently, KitchenUnited has a similar location in Pasadena, CA with 10 kitchens.It differs from this location in that it is located in a businessarea and attracts ample foot traffic. The peak hour lunch ordersare 164 and 121 for dinner. They anticipate that this locationwill be busier at dinner.
● Kitchen United anticipates 50% pick up (including walkup anddriving customers), and the remainder delivered by bicycle,scooter, or car. Company representatives indicate they willcombine orders into single deliveries.
● The company plans to be open until 10 PM, but that couldchange as their use permit application—required because ofthe delivery aspect—requests 24 hour operation. In Arlington,use permits usually have "look back" periods after one year ofoperation. Arlington may require an additional look back at fiveyears to see if things are operating as expected according to thedeveloper's lawyers.
The Board Hearing for the use permit is tentatively scheduled forThursday, April 25.

2019 CHILI COOK OFFThis year's chili cook-off was pretty spectacular! The varietyof chilis—30 in all—was astounding. Chili heads arebecoming ever more creative in their recipes and eaters arelikewise more brave in sampling the offerings.
Fortunately, there was no fighting at the ballot box, and thepolice did not need to be called. Event leaders tallied thescores and announced clear victory for the winners (seeprevious page). As is so often the case, we may hear somegrumbling from the losers or a request for recount. For now,these results stand.
So many new people volunteered as organizers, cooks, set-up helpers, decorators, cleaners and, of course, chiliappreciators and judges. Arshia Arvandi and Betty Perfallwere able to convince many neighbors who had not beeninvolved before to pitch in. And they as well as the "oldfaithfuls" were a source of much happy energy at the CC allevening long.
Arshia, Betty, Kit and Gary–the community thanks you foryour leadership and hard work. We also wish to thankeveryone who helped, contributed food, competed, orotherwise attended.
