The Street Smart Campaign just launched in Arlington County which ties directly into the goals of Arlington's own Vision Zero initiative. Vision Zero requires cross-departmental coordination such as the Arlington County Police Department lending their hand in traffic enforcement and the Department of Environmental Services engineering safer intersections and keeping the streets clear and unobstructed.
While the Vision Zero approach is implemented uniquely in each community, all programs share a set of five core tenets:
Build and sustain leadership and collaboration
Collect, analyze, and use data to understand trends
Emphasize equity and engagement
Establish urgency and accountability
Prioritize safe roadways and speeds in all transportation planning and design
Vision Zero is a strategic, fundamental shift in assumptions about safe transportation, with a focus on:
Recognizing that traffic deaths and injuries are preventable
Factoring in human behavior and error to proposed solutions
Acknowledging that safety doesn’t have to be expensive
Vision Zero is not accomplished through transportation solutions alone. Many factors contribute to safety, and there are many who stand to benefit from increasing travel safety. Accordingly, the Arlington County Vision Zero effort will be community-wide, collaborative, and multi-disciplinary.

Arlington has developed a demonstration project to provide structure to the operation and use of Shared Mobility Devices (SMDs) -- like e-scooters -- within the County and to evaluate their impacts. In June, the County Board approved an extension of Arlington’s demonstration project for e-scooters and e-bikes through Dec. 31, 2019. Help us maintain a safe environment for all road and sidewalk users. Be respectful of other modes and maintain visibility when you are predictable, alert, and lawful. Learn more at ridedockless.com.
If you wish to report an issue with SMDs in Arlington you can email comments/concerns to mobility@arlingtonva.us

“Once again, the President of the United States has issued a vague threat via Twitter that seems designed to sow fear and discord across this nation. On Monday night, President Trump vowed to begin mass immigration arrests and removals of, as he put it, ‘millions of illegal aliens,’ beginning next week. We cannot know whether this is a serious plan, or just another tweet that will be rescinded or forgotten within days – as so many of his tweets are. But what we do know is that this sort of unprecedented threat of mass deportations, this vow to round up migrant parents and children in some sort of blitz action in major U.S. cities, as the Washington Post reported, only adds to the distress and the suffering of hard-working people across this country who already are living in fear because of the inhumane and vicious policies of this administration.
“I would urge anyone in our community who fears he or she may be at risk, should this policy actually be carried out, to visit the County website, where you will find a wealth of immigration resources. This Board has approved funding for the Legal Aid Justice Center, to provide legal services to immigrants, and I would urge anyone with legal questions to contact them immediately.
“If this latest escalation turns out to be real, Arlington will not be assisting in any mass round up and deportation of families or the separation of yet more children – some as young as infants – from their families. Arlington will remain what it is – a welcoming community that is compassionate and values every human being. Our police force keeps our community safe – its role is not to enforce federal immigration laws.
“And I can only believe that this policy, should it come to pass, will be quickly challenged in Congress and in the courts – as so many of Mr. Trump’s destructive, divisive immigration policies have been.”

Arlington Public Library, Arlington Dept. of Human Services and the National Alliance on Mental Illness present a panel discussion on Mental Wellness from A-Z. Recorded at the Arlington Public Library on May 30, 2019.
Join us for this panel discussion and conversation about mental wellness, from promotion and prevention to treatment and recovery. Hear from individuals with lived experience talking openly about what it’s like to have a mental health condition. Learn from advocates and clinicians about local resources, therapies, and treatments available for children, adults, and seniors. Receive the tools needed to expand our understanding of behavioral wellness and the opportunities needed for optimal health and well being.
Mental Wellness is essential to everyone's overall health and well being. Our community's mental wellness is not a question; it is our priority.
Representatives from the Department of Human Services' Prevention Services, Children and Family Behavioral Health, Adult Behavioral Health, Senior Adult Mental Health, Regional Older Adult Facilities Mental Health Support Team (RAFT), and the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) participate in a panel discussion and conversation about mental wellness, from promotion and prevention to treatment and recovery.

Learn from advocates and clinicians about local resources, therapies, and treatments available for children, adults, and seniors. Receive the tools needed to expand our understanding of behavioral wellness and the opportunities needed for optimal health and well being.
One in five Americans live with a mental health condition. Navigating life with a mental health condition can be isolating, and finding a roadmap to recovery can be formidable. Too often, the stigma associated with mental health issues creates barriers, preventing people from getting needed support. Together we can change attitudes, assumptions, and ideas about individuals living with mental health conditions by providing the information and social connections so that no one has to suffer a mental health condition alone.

About the book:
For African American culinary historian Michael W. Twitty there was a giant hole in the story of American cooking as big as the one in the story of most African American families. Putting the microscope on himself, Michael decided to fully trace out his family history through the story of Southern and American food.
The "Cooking Gene" offers a fresh perspective on our most divisive cultural issue, race, and is an illuminating memoir of Southern cuisine and food culture that traces Twitty's ancestry—both black and white—through food, from Africa to America and slavery to freedom. Using genetic research, historic interpretation, nature study, and interviews with contemporary voices in food, his journey led him back to his family’s origins in West and Central Africa. As he takes us through his ancestral culinary history, Twitty suggests that healing may come from embracing the discomfort of the Southern past; revealing a truth that is more than skin deep—the power that food has to bring the kin of the enslaved and their former slaveholders to the table, where they can discover the real America together.
About the author:
Michael W. Twitty is a food writer, independent scholar, culinary historian and historical interpreter personally charged with preparing, preserving and promoting African American foodways and its parent traditions in Africa and her Diaspora. He is the winner of the 2018 James Beard Book of the Year Award for "The Cooking Gene" and a nominee for the 2018 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award in Nonfiction. His award winning blog, Afroculinaria, highlights and address food’s critical role in the development and definition of African American civilization and the politics of consumption and cultural ownership that surround it. A Washington, D.C. native, he teaches Judaic studies and has a passion for food culture, food history, Jewish cultural issues, African American history and cultural politics.
Presented in partnership with One More Page Books. This program is part of the Library’s celebration of Black History Month.

The Behavioral Healthcare Division, Arlington County and Arlington Peers Helping Peers in Recovery present Arlington's Celebrate Recovery event at the Shirlington Busboys & Poets, recorded Sept. 26 2018.
National Recovery Month (Recovery Month) is a national observance held every September to educate Americans that substance use treatment and mental health services can enable those with a mental and/or substance use disorder to live a healthy and rewarding life. Recovery Month celebrates the gains made by those in recovery, just as we celebrate health improvements made by those who are managing other health conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, asthma, and heart disease. The observance reinforces the positive message that behavioral health is essential to overall health, prevention works, treatment is effective, and people can and do recover.
This year’s National Recovery Month theme highlights the value of investing in home health, purpose, and community and invites individuals in recovery to share their personal stories and successes in order to encourage others. It aims to in-crease awareness and foster public understanding and acceptance of the benefits of prevention, treatment and recovery from behavioral health conditions.

Twelve Arlington County Police officers volunteered and deployed to Puerto Rico to assist with law enforcement resources in the wake of Hurricane Maria. The officers deployed in three staggered teams between November 10 – December 18, 2017, and served the Puerto Rico community for sixteen days each. The request for assistance came through the Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC), which is the national emergency management mutual aid system that facilitates state-to-state disaster assistance. Upon arrival to the island, ACPD officers were sworn into service as peace officers. Their mission was to provide traffic control at critical intersections impacted by power outages, relieving this burden from the local officers who can now focus on other law enforcement responsibilities. Each of our three teams provided traffic direction at the intersection of Route 66 and Route 3 in the town of Rio Grande. Throughout their deployment, they worked 12-hour shifts in service to the Puerto Rico community and were joined by other Virginia Emergency Management Assistance Compact (EMAC) teams from Prince William and Hampton, as well as teams from, Connecticut, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Florida, Houston and Montana.
“I am proud that our officers are willing to dedicate their time to provide the citizens of Puerto Rico with an added sense of security in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria,” said Police Chief M. Jay Farr. “Our officers take an oath to serve and protect and their willingness to deploy shows their commitment and dedication, not just to the Arlington County community, but to citizens everywhere.”

An Arlington County Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus (CCC+) Town Hall Meeting will be held at Central Library Auditorium on Monday, November 13 from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
What is Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus?
Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus is a new statewide Medicaid managed long term services and supports program that will serve approximately 214,000 individuals with complex care needs, through an integrated delivery model, across the full continuum of care. Enrollment into CCC Plus is required for qualifying populations. Care management is at the heart of the CCC Plus high-touch, person-centered program design. CCC Plus focuses on improving quality, access and efficiency.
Who Should Attend?
This program is intended for Medicaid members, caregivers, families and advocates, as well as anyone else seeking a better understanding of the provision of Medicaid benefits.
About the Event
The event will consist of a presentation by the Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS), and all six of the Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) that are participating in this new Medicaid Managed Care initiative which begins in Northern Virginia on December 1, 2017.
Katie Hill and Lynne Vest of the DMAS CCC+ Outreach team will begin the presentation with an overview of the entire program, it’s background and implementation, followed by descriptions of each of the six MCO health plans:
Aetna Better Health of Virginia
Anthem HealthKeepers Plus
Magellan Complete Care of Virginia
Optima Health
United Healthcare
Virginia Premier Health Plan
Outreach team members from the health plans will then make a brief presentation on their plan.
The presentations will be followed by a question and answer session where plan beneficiaries, their care partners and family members will have the opportunity to ask both DMAS and each of the plan providers questions about how this new managed care coverage will be implemented so that they may decide for themselves which of the six available plans will best meet their needs.
Who Will Participate in Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus?
CCC Plus includes Medicaid members who:
Receive Medicare benefits and full Medicaid benefits (dual eligible), including members enrolled in Commonwealth Coordinated Care (CCC).
Receive Medicaid long term services and supports (LTSS) in a facility or through one of the home and community-based (HCBS) waivers, except Alzheimer’s Assisted Living waiver. Individuals enrolled in the Community Living, the Family and Individual Support, and Building Independence waivers, known as the Developmental Disabilities (DD) waivers, will enroll for their non-waiver services only. At this time, their DD waiver services will continue to be covered through Medicaid fee-for-service.
Are eligible in the Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD) Medicaid coverage groups, including ABD individuals currently enrolled in the Medallion 3.0 program.

There are about a thousand in Northern Virginia, ranging from small family plots to huge national cemeteries. How the history of our region can be told through gravestones with stories to tell, including those of Confederate raiders, freedmen, eccentrics, and nation builders. Sometimes, tombstones are all that remain of their stories. The program was recorded on June 9 2016 at the Arlington VA Public Library.

The Arlington Historical Society presents Eric Buckland, who spoke about “Mosby’s Men".
The commander of Mosby’s Rangers, John Singleton Mosby, is the most famous member of the unit he created – the 43rd Battalion Virginia Cavalry, but he was supremely fortunate in the quality of the men who served under him. They were young, daring, and intelligent. After the war, many went on to lead lives filled with years that surpassed the adventures and excitement of their youth, and some settled here in Arlington. Eric Buckland will tell stories of some of those “Mosby Men” who contributed so much to the lasting legacy and fame of Mosby’s Rangers.
Eric Buckland is the author of five books, all of which tell the stories of the men who rode with Mosby’s Rangers and include “Mosby’s Keydet Rangers,” as well as four book series called “Mosby Men.” Buckland retired from the US Army in 1999 as a Lieutenant Colonel after a 22-year career spent primarily in Special Forces and other Special Operations assignments. Some of his awards include the Master Parachutist Badge, the Special Forces Combat Diver Badge, and the Combat Infantryman’s Badge. He currently is employed at the Office of National Drug Control Policy as an International Policy Analyst with a focus on border security issues.
The Arlington Historical Society, Inc., founded in 1956, is a nonprofit educational organization incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The mission of the Arlington Historical Society is to conduct research and to preserve and disseminate knowledge relating to the history, archaeology, material culture, and geographical and socio-economic development of Arlington County, Virginia.

Dr. Billy Wayson speaks to the Arlington Historical Society about his book, Martha Jefferson Randolph: Republican Daughter and Plantation Mistress. Dr. Wayson's talk was recorded at Marymount University in Arlington, VA on March 10, 2016.
For almost his entire life, Thomas Jefferson served in positions of leadership at the local, state, and federal levels. His gifted pen was known in Europe, even before the Declaration of Independence, but it was Jefferson’s private writing that revealed the most intimate emotional dynamics of a life in government service. Nowhere are the personal challenges associated with public service more poignantly expressed than in Jefferson’s letters to daughter Martha (“Patsy”). Wayson’s book draws on some 900 family letters and uses qualitative analysis software to trace the evolution of this intense daughter-father relationship alongside rapidly unfolding political, economic, and social events.

The holiday season is wrapping up, but that means Arlington County is just beginning its Christmas tree collection and recycling program, a fast, simple, and environmentally friendly way to get rid of your family's Christmas tree. During the first two weeks of January, Arlington County trucks will come by on your regular trash collection day to pick up your tree. Simply remove all ornaments, lights and decorations. Take the tree out of the stand, and bring it to your curb by 6:00 a.m. on your regular collection day. Do NOT put the tree in a plastic bag. If you're not a curbside collection customer, you can bring your tree to the Solid Waste Bureau. Call 703 228 6570 to schedule an appointment.
Each year we collect more than 9000 Christmas trees and grind them into mulch which we recycle back to you for use in your garden. You can get more information at the following online sources:

It's located in the Glencarlyn neighborhood and is open to visitors every Saturday through October from 1 to 4 p.m.
Arlington County is considering relocating Fire Station 8 to an area further north. Relocating would improve response times to a larger number of Arlington homes.

In the newest edition of County Board Wrap Up, Board Chair Mary Hynes discusses the Board's deliberations on Fire Station 8.

We're a smart bunch here in Arlington and we may be named the top Intelligent Community in the World for 2015. We'll tell you how later in our program, but first...
Have you noticed the water tasting a little different lately? No your not going crazy it actually does! Each year, the Washington Aqueduct temporarily changes the water disinfectant it uses to clean the pipes and maintain high water quality for customers. It will revert to the regular disinfectant after May 4th. for more information, go to water.arlingtonva.us.
No more searching for coins with EasyPark! and you don't need a credit card either to park in Arlington's metered parking spaces. Instead, you buy an EasyPark device and add parking money to it. You can do this on line, on the EasyPark site, or in person at the Treasurer's office, at Courthouse Plaza.
Residents weighed in on priorities at recent budget & tax rate hearings on the 2016 budget. Be sure to watch the April edition of County Board Wrap Up as Chair Mary Hynes will discuss the Board's budget and tax decisions. You can review the proposed 2016 budget online at budget.arlingtonva.us.
Arlington's smart planning and smart growth has earned it a spot among the top 7 finalists in the Intelligent Community Forum. Longtime resident Joe Pelton was among the many people who have worked to earn us this prestigious recognition. To learn more about the Intelligent Community Forum, go to their website at intelligent community.org. We'll find out if we won in June. But even if we don't win, it is truly an honor to be nominated and share top billing with only 7 other communities in the world.
The Arlington Partnership for Affordable Housing broke ground for construction on The Springs Apartments, which will add 98 new units to Arlington's affordable housing stock. Arlington has seen a dramatic decrease in the amount of affordable housing in recent years. The Affordable Housing study and draft master plan will provide a framework for increasing affordable housing options for residents. Community review of the plan is continuing throughout the spring. To learn more about affordable housing options in Arlington, check our website at arlingtonva.us, search housing.
The affordable housing in Courthouse are classified as historic resources and they will continue to be affordable even after the new development there. Planning has begun for an office building, public plaza, ground-floor retail and underground parking at the intersections of Courthouse Road, Wilson Boulevard and Clarendon Boulevard. The site currently houses a Wendy's and a Wells Fargo bank. The planned redevelopment will preserve the Wakefield Manor and Courthouse Manor apartments, which will continue as market rate affordable units. Well, that's it for now. Thanks for watching! We'll see you next time, Around Arlington.

Spring is here at last! Flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, and potholes are opening up all around the County. We’ll tell you more about our spring paving program later in the show but first….
County Manager Barbara Donnellan will retire at the end of June after three decades with Arlington County, including the last five years as County Manager. Under her leadership, Arlington has implemented nationally-recognized Smart Growth policies and continued the sound financial policies that have earned the County its triple-triple-A bond rating for many years. The County Board plans to name Deputy County Manager Mark Schwartz as Acting County Manager. He will serve in the position as we hold a national recruitment search for a new Manager.
Arlington’s spring paving program repairs potholes, replaces damaged roadways, and resurfaces streets throughout the County. We have a lot going on with DES this time of year. As a part of street preventive maintenance program our Water, Sewer, Streets Bureau identifies streets that need repairing or paving. This is a routine preventative street maintenance program. 24 to 48 hours prior to the start of the operation we send out door hangars that are delivered to each of the households. And along with those door hangars we post “No Parking” signs on the streets. Failure to obey those signs could result in their cars being towed so we strongly encourage people to look out for those door hangars and street signs. Some level of disruptions are expected such as noise, dust, and traffic detours, but we work our best to try and minimize those disruptions. And the end result really is a smooth, long-lasting driving surface.
We also have street name signs that are going up that will gradually appear throughout the county to comply with policy set forth by the Federal Highway Administration. The new signs are larger and they contain lower and upper case reflective lettering. They promote visibility, better navigation and thus safety. Although the Federal requirement is for new and replacement signs because of the improved visibility with the new signs we’re implementing the new style across the county. We’re starting the effort this spring and it’s starting with Wilson Blvd., Clarendon Blvd, and Crystal Drive and we’re gradually going to implement them throughout the county as resources allow. So there’s a lot for residents to look forward to.
For more information on the paving schedule, and to find out how to report a pothole, visit the transportation section of our website at transporation.arlingtova.us.
And, don’t forget about the brave men and women who fix our streets. National Work Zone Awareness Week encourages you to Expect the Unexpected, and focus on safe driving through work zones. The national kick-off event was held at Arlington’s very own intersection of Washington Boulevard and Columbia Pike.
Have you ever been confused while watching a county board meeting? Well, we’re launching a new show to help you out! County Board Wrap-Up takes a look at key issues from the most recent County Board meeting, and explains the Board process. In this month’s episode, Board Chair Mary Hynes talks about speaking before the Board, changes coming to the Courthouse area, updates to the parking citation appeals process, and more. She also talks about a tucked-away section of Bluemont Park that has been renamed Mary Carlin Woods to honor long-ago resident Mary Carlin, who was born nearby and whose family owned most of the woods for more than a century. Renaming the woody area makes it easier for first responders to find it in emergencies. To learn more about why the woods were renamed, tune into County Board Wrap Up, where Mary Hynes explains why the Board approved this request from the Bluemont Civic Association.
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for watching! We'll see you next time, Around Arlington.

The new signs are larger and they contain lower and upper case reflective lettering. They promote visibility, better navigation and thus safety. Although the Federal requirement is for new and replacement signs because of the improved visibility with the new signs we’re implementing the new style across the county. We’re starting the effort this spring and it’s starting with Wilson Blvd., Clarendon Blvd, and Crystal Drive and we’re gradually going to implement them throughout the county as resources allow. So there’s a lot for residents to look forward to.
For more information on the paving schedule, and to find out how to report a pothole, visit the transportation section of our website at transporation.arlingtova.us.
And, don’t forget about the brave men and women who fix our streets. National Work Zone Awareness Week encourages you to Expect the Unexpected, and focus on safe driving through work zones. The national kick-off event was held at Arlington’s very own intersection of Washington Boulevard and Columbia Pike.
Have you ever been confused while watching a county board meeting? Well, we’re launching a new show to help you out! County Board Wrap-Up takes a look at key issues from the most recent County Board meeting, and explains the Board process. In this month’s episode, Board Chair Mary Hynes talks about speaking before the Board, changes coming to the Courthouse area, updates to the parking citation appeals process, and more. She also talks about a tucked-away section of Bluemont Park that has been renamed Mary Carlin Woods to honor long-ago resident Mary Carlin, who was born nearby and whose family owned most of the woods for more than a century. Renaming the woody area makes it easier for first responders to find it in emergencies. To learn more about why the woods were renamed, tune into County Board Wrap Up, where Mary Hynes explains why the Board approved this request from the Bluemont Civic Association.
Well, that's it for now. Thanks for watching! We'll see you next time, Around Arlington.

Arlington is making it easier than ever to do business in the County. We'll tell you about some of our new features - including online business registration and a one-stop payment system for building permits - later in our program, but first....
The Arlington County Board and School Board are working together to engage residents in the planning process for new and existing buildings. Make sure your voice is heard by getting involved with the Resident Forum so you can find out what’s happening with schools, fire stations, storage facilities and other development around the County. Go to commissions.arlingtonva.us and search “facilities study” to learn more.
Every month, Arlington holds a public County Board meeting, where important issues involving the community are discussed and voted on. March is a busy month, as the Board is also holding public budget tax rate hearings. All meetings are open to the public. If you can’t attend, you can watch the meeting live here on ATV, or watch archived meetings online at countyboard.arlingtonva.us.
We told you in a previous episode that Arlington has made it easier to do business with the county and we’ve heard from our viewers that this is something you’d like to hear more about….Take a look...
Shannon Flanagan Watson, Arlington Business Ombudsman: we want to make it simpler and more predictable to do business in Arlington. And one of the ways that we're achieving this goal is through the implementation of several process improvements.
Ingrid Morroy, Commissioner of Revenue: In the past only existing businesses were able to register and submit their tax returns online. Now with this new system customers who have a new business in Arlington can register their business online. And existing businesses can also register additional locations online.
So this was something that the business community had asked for.
Shannon Flanagan Watson: These improvements stem from the County Manager's listening tour held last year with the business community and as a result of ongoing feedback that we have received from our customers. For example, we rolled out new payment options at our customer service counter here in the main county administration building.
Carla de la Pava, Treasurer, Arlington County: What we realized that businesses needed is when they're going for permits and zoning they had a lot of stops to make. One of the stops was to come down to the 2nd floor to make a payment. We have decided to rearrange our system to allow the 10th floor and 8th floor to take payments directly. What that means is the customer no longer has to come to the 2nd floor, that the departments can literally deposit the checks in the bank from their seats. We're getting the cash into the bank about a day faster which means more interest for Arlington County.
Shannon Flanagan-Watson: It makes it faster and easier to do business. We recognize that time is money.

Arlington’s Department of Environmental Services has been busy clearing the snow and fixing those potholes. Assuming Spring eventually gets here DES is also gearing up to collect Spring Yard Waste from March 16th through April 24th! A limited number of free biodegradable bags are available at Courthouse Plaza, Lee Community Center, the Solid Waste Bureau and Thomas Jefferson Community Center, and paper yard waste bags are available at most hardware stores. Put your yard waste out on the business day after your normal trash collection day. Find out all that DES does for you at environment.arlingtonva.us.
This year, the Library’s Arlington Reads program focuses on race in America, as seen through the works of two remarkable young writers. National Book Award winner Jesmyn Ward will discuss “Men We Reaped” at Central Library on April 8th, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie will discuss “Americanah” at Central on May 7th. This gives you plenty of time to check out a copy of both books at one of Arlington’s libraries, and make your plans to join the 2015 Arlington Reads.
Finally, Police Chief Doug Scott will retire after a 40 year career in law enforcement, including 12 years as Arlington’s police chief. An acting police chief will be appointed, and a national search for a new chief will be conducted. He will be greatly missed. Well, that's it for now. Thanks for watching!

We all want to save money on energy costs right? But what are the best ways to do it? Well, the Arlington Initiative to Rethink Energy, or AIRE, helps us make smart decisions about energy use at home and at work. More about that in a moment, but first…the new decal!
Each year, Arlington high school artists submit photos as part of the vehicle decal contest. The winning design will adorn more than 160,000 vehicles in this year.
The Decal Fee funds a variety of street improvement and signage projects. To learn more about where the funds go, and how students can get involved in the design, visit the Treasurer's website.
In January, the County made it simpler to do business in Arlington by adding online business registration and one-stop payments for building permits. And the County Board accepted grants to fund the safe routes to schools projects around 3 Arlington schools. Learn about these and other items by attending the monthly County Board meetings, watching them here on ATV, or reviewing past meetings on our website. You can also read about Board highlights in the County newsroom at newsroom.arlingtonva.us
Arlington County Board Chair Mary Hynes has announced that she will retire from the Board when she completes her term at the end of 2015. Her decision comes a week after County Board Vice Chair Walter Tejada announced that he will not seek the Democratic nomination for another term on the Board. The next general election will be held on November 3rd. Check vote.arlingtonva.us for information on the primary schedule.
At the recent Energy Journey Games, kids and adults picked up energy tips, learned about the latest technologies, and had a great time, too. If you missed the games be sure to visit the AIRE website at arlingtonva.us, keyword AIRE. And make sure you get there next year.
The Washington Post published a long article on Arlington’s successful efforts to reduce homelessness in the County. Our personal approach of identifying who is homeless and what their needs are breaks through the red tape and delivers services directly to those who need them. You can read the piece on the Post’s website at washingonpost.com.
Ok, that’s just about it, but remember that Arlington County government offices, courts, schools and libraries will be closed on February 16th in honor of George Washington's Birthday. There will be regular trash and recycling pickups. Check our holiday closings schedule for more info.

Author Beth Macy reads from and discusses her book, "Factory Man: How One Furniture Maker Battled Offshoring, Stayed Local and Helped Save an American Town." Recorded at the Arlington (VA) Central Library on October 7 2014.
From the book's Amazon.com page: "The instant New York Times bestseller about one man's battle to save hundreds of jobs by demonstrating the greatness of American business.
The Bassett Furniture Company was once the world's biggest wood furniture manufacturer. Run by the same powerful Virginia family for generations, it was also the center of life in Bassett, Virginia. But beginning in the 1980s, the first waves of Asian competition hit, and ultimately Bassett was forced to send its production overseas.
One man fought back: John Bassett III, a shrewd and determined third-generation factory man, now chairman of Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Co, which employs more than 700 Virginians and has sales of more than $90 million. In FACTORY MAN, Beth Macy brings to life Bassett's deeply personal furniture and family story, along with a host of characters from an industry that was as cutthroat as it was colorful. As she shows how he uses legal maneuvers, factory efficiencies, and sheer grit and cunning to save hundreds of jobs, she also reveals the truth about modern industry in America."

Arlington is getting ready for winter weather! With new equipment and ongoing safety training, our snow team is poised to respond. We'll tell you more about that later in our program, but first....
The Arlington County Board voted 4 to 1 to cancel the streetcar that would have run along the Columbia Pike and Crystal City-Potomac Yard corridors. Board Chair Jay Fisette said it was a painful decision, but necessary, as concerns over the streetcar project were dividing the community and overshadowing other important issues. He stressed that the Board remains committed to Arlington's smart-growth vision; and to the revitalization of both Columbia Pike and the Crystal City-Potomac Yard areas. For more information on the decision, go to news.arlingtonva.us to read the press release.
The Arlington Food Assistance Center is asking for your help to feed families in need. Food drives are a great way to help out. To set one up, visit afac.org and register your food drive. Then, download one of their flyers to help publicize it. If you have any non-perishable food that you’re ready to donate, simply drop by AFAC headquarters, or visit afac.org to find a donation center near you.
Arlington is gearing up for winter weather by providing simulator training for snow plow safety. We've also committed to removing snow from popular bike trails, and are instituting a pilot program to keep the bike lanes clear. Take a look... For all your winter weather related needs, visit our webpage and search Snow Central.
The financial planning site NerdWallet ranks Arlington as the Number One place – in the entire United States - for young adults to start a business. Some of the factors included in the study were networking and mentorship opportunities, access to funds, and a high level of education. To find out how to start a business in Arlington, check our BizLaunch site at arlingtonvirginiausa.com, keyword BizLaunch.
Well the Leaves keep falling, and Arlington’s leaf collection continues. County crews will collect leaf bags through January 9th on the first business day after your trash collection. Vacuum leaf collection continues through December 19th. Watch for signs in your neighborhood, or check the schedule on our website, keyword: Leaf.
Well, that’s all for this week, thanks for watching, and we'll see you Around Arlington.

Over 50 years ago community leaders had a vision to redevelop Arlington, VA. At the time they didn't know that they were starting a trend that would later be known as 'Smart Growth' - where mixed-use development around public transit hubs, creates an environment where people want to live and work.
Sustainability is inherently part of a Smart Growth plan, and today's leaders want to make Arlington even more energy efficient. This is the story of how today's Arlington visionaries want to create a community energy plan that'll reach into the next 50 years.

White House press photographer Dennis Brack discusses his long career photographing presidents. Having created a museum’s worth of images for the Black Star agency, Brack has now written the book on his craft, “Presidential Picture Stories: Behind the Cameras at the White House.” Brack demonstrates how photographers have covered presidents since the days of Abraham Lincoln. Presidents can stay only eight years but veteran photojournalists like Dennis Brack have spent decades documenting First Family life and fresh history in the White House “fishbowl.” Dennis Brack is a former president of the White House News Photographers Association who averaged a picture per week in Time Magazine for 23 years. He’ll discuss the joys and ordeals of such high-profile, high-pressure work. Recorded at the Arlington Public Library on Nov. 24 2014.

Arlington installed a historic marker at the site of the Green Valley Pharmacy in a ceremony that honored Doc Muse and his six decades of service to the community. We'll tell you more about that later in our program, but first....
A recent house fire claimed the lives of an Arlington mother and daughter. The home had no working smoke detectors. The Arlington County Fire Department urges everyone to install smoke alarms on every floor and in every bedroom. You should also test the alarms each month, and change the batteries twice a year, ideally when the clocks change. And, you should replace the alarms themselves at least every 10 years. Make sure you have an escape plan, and practice it. For more information, go to our website, keyword smoke alarm.

Anywhere you drive in Arlington, you’ll encounter County work crews who are out performing daily tasks like cleaning streets, collecting leaves or plowing snow. Driving safely around these vehicles is extremely important to avoid accidents or injuries.
Trucks do not have the same stop and go capability as cars, so remember to be a PAL and don't zone out. Here are some safety tips our Department of Environmental Services would like you to remember:
•Please slow down around work zones and provide County vehicles and personnel additional space needed to safely operate.
•Trucks have blind spots between the doors and the rear of the vehicle. Stay out of these areas to ensure you are seen.
•Do not pull in front of a truck when you need to stop or slow down.
•Be sure to signal your intentions and do not make moves abruptly.
•When parking, be sure to park as close to the curb as possible.
Most importantly, practice patience. Be a PAL (Predictable, Alert, and Lawful) and don’t zone out!
Finally, if you encounter unsafe behaviors from a county truck driver, report it to our Risk Management Office at 703.228.4444.

Fall is officially here, and that means that leaf collection is right around the corner. We’ll tell you when to expect leaf collection in your neighborhood later in our program. But first…
Arlington Cemetery is using the latest technology to help visitors explore the area. The ANC Explorer app connects families, visitors and the public to the cemetery's history by helping them locate gravesites and points of interest. The app is free and available for download via the iOS App Store and Android Google Play.
Commonwealth Attorney Theo Stamos and Police Chief Doug Scott will take part in a community forum, discussing trust and confidence in the criminal justice system on Oct. 15 from 7-9 p.m. at Wakefield High School. It’s a great chance to learn about how law enforcement and the community interact. Everyone is welcome to attend and participate. To learn more, visit the police webpage at police.arlingtonva.us
Arlington’s streetcar system is one step closer to reality.

Fall is finally here, and that means the trees will soon begin shedding their leaves. It’s time to get prepared for the County’s extensive leaf bag pickup and vacuum collection program. Leaf bags are collected the day after your regular trash collection day, starting November 3. Vacuum collection begins November 10, and is organized by civic association.

If you want to check out a garden tool – visit the Library website at library.arlingtonva.us.

And finally, do you know an Arlington resident, group or business that’s accomplished something significant for their community? If so, let us know!

The Neighborhood Conservation Program has been helping to improve and enhance Arlington neighborhoods for 50 years. When the program was created in 1964, the goal was to empower residents by having them come together to discuss and share ideas for improving their neighborhoods. Today, the program provides funding for a variety of improvements including: installation of sidewalks, curbs and gutters, streetlights, signs, park improvements, neighborhood art and beautification. This program empowers citizens to identify and plan projects in their own neighborhoods.
Communities participating in the Neighborhood Conservation program benefit from being involved in the process for improving their own neighborhoods and help get funds for important projects. It’s also a great way for neighborhoods to directly engage with Arlington County.
When a neighborhood participates in the Neighborhood Conservation program, it becomes part of a larger community known as the Neighborhood Conservation Advisory Committee (NCAC). The County Board relies on the NCAC to report on the issues of greatest concern to our community members. Neighborhood Conservation representatives serve on the NCAC and help to develop recommendations for improving the neighborhood conservation process and participate in implementing County bond funds.
to find out more about the program go to arlingtonva.us and search on "Neighborhood Conservation"

Starting this summer, you won’t need to Feed the Meter when parking in Arlington. Now you can pay by cell thanks to the Parkmobile APP, and park at any metered space throughout the County.
It’s easy to get started. Then Download the app from the apple or android store (or register for free online at parkmobile.com.) Then, sign up for your free account. You'll need your license plate number and a credit card.
Launch the app when you park at a meter. Key in the zone number listed on the Parkmobile sign OR use the GPS functionality. Select the amount of time you want to park, and hit start. That’s it.
The app allows you to get text messages showing when your time is about to expire, and if you need to, and you can add more time within the posted duration from anywhere. There’s even a find-your-car function, in case you forgot where you parked.

Arlington held a ground-breaking ceremony for the Crystal City Potomac Yard Transitway, the DC area’s first dedicated right-of-way for public transportation. We’ll tell you more about that later in our program, but first…
Starting this summer, you’ll be able to pay for metered parking with your smartphone! The Parkmobile App, already popular in DC, is coming to Arlington. To learn how Parkmobile works and how to sign up, go to arlingtonva.us and search “Parkmobile.”
The Arlington County Board approved the Capital Improvement Plan – or CIP – to invest $2.7 billion over 10 years to support County infrastructure. This means funding for a wide variety of projects, including full support for the Arlington Public Schools improvement plan; park upgrades, a new fire station, Metro & the streetcar system. To learn about all the projects supported by the CIP, go to our website and search CIP.
Speaking of the streetcar, the Commonwealth of Virginia plans to increase its funding for the Columbia Pike streetcar by up to $65 million – bringing Virginia’s contribution to as much as 50 percent of total design and construction costs. The streetcar is expected to generate a substantial economic and fiscal return in the form of new real estate value, tax revenues and new jobs for the area. Learn more on our website, keyword Streetcar.
The new Transitway between the Crystal City metro in Arlington and the Braddock Road Metro in Alexandria will provide faster, more reliable bus service along the congested Route 1 corridor.
The Arlington Fire Department sponsors a 3-day camp that helps teenage girls find out firsthand what it’s like to be a County firefighter or EMT. The girls lugged hoses and fire extinguishers and experienced the physical challenges involved in firefighting and rescue response. The program is designed to encourage girls to consider a fire service career. To learn more about the camp for next year, check our website and search Girls Fire Camp.
And finally… It’s hot out there! Good thing we’ve got lots of places to cool off! There’s a public swimming pool at each of our three high schools, plus the Ocean Dunes Waterpark at Upton Hill Regional Park. And, we’ve also got spray grounds, which are great for small children who love to play under giant sprinklers. Find out the hours Arlington pools and spraygrounds are open on our website, keyword pool.
That’s all for now, thanks for watching! We'll see you Around Arlington.

With changes in building construction, firefighters need to learn new techniques to fight fires that spread hot and fast through buildings and homes. We'll tell you about Arlington's new Fire Training Academy later in our program, but first...
How can you find out how many people are biking on our trails? You install a bikeometer! Our first bikeometer was installed at Lee Highway and North Lynn Street, where nearly 500,000 bikes whiz by each year. You can see how many have gone by on a screen and we'll use the data to plan bike routes and improve bike safety. To learn more about this, other bike trails in Arlington and bike safety go to Bikearlington.com
While bikes whiz by on paths, data whizzes through Arlington at speeds that are infinitely faster than anywhere else in the Capital region. That's because of the ConnectArlington broadband network. It was developed by Arlington County government to link County buildings and schools together, but now we're extending that super high-speed fiber to Arlington businesses. The service will roll out over the next year. To learn more, go to arlingtonva.us: keyword, connect arlington.
A new study shows that Arlington can expect a huge return on its investment in the Columbia Pike streetcar. According to the report, the streetcar project will generate between 3 and 4 billion dollars in benefits for Arlington and Fairfax over a 30 year period. This is between 2 and 3 billion dollars more than enhanced bus service would provide. To learn more about this study and its findings, go to arlingtonva.us: keyword streetcar.
Arlington Firefighters demonstrated their life saving skills during an intensive training exercise at Arlington's new state-of-the-art fire academy. Take a look.
Remember, you are the first line of defense against fires in your home. Make sure you have a working smoke detector and an evacuation plan. For more fire safety tips, check our website at fire.arlingtonva.us.
Arlington Library will host Ann Beattie and Richard Ford as part of this year's Arlington Reads program. Beattie will hold a conversation with Library Director Diane Kresh on April 10, while Ford will interviewed by Jeffrey Brown of the PBS NewsHour on April 24. Both events are free at Central Library, and books by the authors will be available for purchase and signing. For more information, visit library.arlingtonva.us.
And finally, the newest member of the Arlington County Board will be sworn in after the winner is announced. Stay tuned to ATV to find out when, and watch it live. All County Board meetings are open to the public, and each month's agenda can be found at countyboard.arlingtonva.us. So come on down on Saturday and meet your new County Board member!

You may have noticed a lot of construction -- and increased traffic - in the Rosslyn area. We'll tell you what's going on there, and why, later. But first, Changes are coming to one of Arlington's largest parks.
Glencarlyn Park serves thousands of residents every year who enjoy its open space and amenities. Now, the playground areas are getting a long-needed upgrade, so that kids today and in the future will be able to enjoy this beautiful outdoor space. The project is funded as part of the Neighborhood Conservation Program. To find out how your neighborhood can benefit from this grant program, go to the County's website and search neighborhood conservation.
The Arlington County Board accepted a grant awarded by the Commonwealth of Virginia to connect technology companies with national security agencies headquartered in Arlington. TandemNSI, highlights our ability to attract and retain successful national security-related businesses. To find more about TandemNSI, visit TandemNSI.com
Construction has begun on Central Place, the centerpiece of a new Rosslyn. However, along with the transformation, comes the reality of traffic backups. Let's find out more. Take a look...

Imagine an world where potholes could fill themselves, swings could yell out when they're broken, or walls could talk when they're vandalized. Well, now they can....with your help. Introducing the new "ArlingtonVA mobile app" that lets you connect with the County in a whole new way. See an issue, then report it on the spot. It's the closest thing to issues reporting themselves.
Here is how it works:
Let's say you're at a park and you notice the playground equipment is broken ... or maybe we missed your trash pickup ... or there's a pothole on your street. No problem. Use the ArlingtonVA app on your smartphone to submit a request. Your GPS finds where you are, so you can just snap a picture if you like, write a description, and submit your item. The information instantly goes to the right department. And if you've created an account, you can follow the progress, get email updates and know when your issue is resolved.
And this is just the beginning. We'll be updating the app with more items. Did we mention the ArlingtonVA app also connects you with other County information, right from the homescreen!
Don't have a smart phone? Don't worry! You can also report issues from the arlingtonva.us website the same way. It's that easy.
The new ArlingtonVA app ... a smart app that makes a smarter County. Search ArlingtonVA and download it now from the apple or android store, or go to arlingtonva.us.

Fewer tenants are available to fill vacancies and new strategies must be applied in order to generate "sustainable" retail and successful main streets and shopping environments.

Participating in this panel discussion is Bruce Leonard, principal of Streetsense, Jill Griffin of Arlington Economic Development, and John Tschiderer of Federal Realty Investment Trust. This panel was part of the Arlington County VA Dept. of Community Housing, Planning and Development, Planning Division's Roundabouts Speaker Series.

"Digitizing opens up a whole world to be able to share these things, but nothing can replace holding that Civil War letter" says Judy Knudsen when describing how Arlington Public Library's Center for Local History is changing, yet remaining the same. Formerly known as the Virginia Room, the new name better describes the scope of work that Judy and her team of archivists do, which includes seeking out and preserving local historical stories.
In this piece, we learn about the amazing story of civil rights activist and former Freedom Rider Joan Mulholland. We follow her as she donates part of her private collection of historical documents that depict her role during the 1960's Civil Rights movement.

The Arlington County Fire Department has an important message for all residents to help keep everyone safe this winter.
We'll have those safety tips from the Arlington County Fire Department later in our program. but first, Arlington has been named one of the Top 7 Intelligent Communities in the world for 2014 by the Intelligent Community Forum. Arlington is one of only two communities in the United States to achieve this honor. We were cited for the construction of our own fiber-optic network and for encouraging economic growth in the Metro corridors while preserving neighborhoods, parks and open space. To learn more about how Arlington achieved this honor, visit intelligentcommunity.org.
And speaking of forward thinking, The County Board recently approved a plan to replace the Blue Goose, a 1960s style building that has graced the corner of Glebe Road and Fairfax Drive for over 50 years, with two, more energy efficient buildings. The development will allow Marymount University to maintain and expand its presence in Ballston, while adding apartments, ground floor retail and a public plaza. Several elements of the Blue Goose will be incorporated into the new buildings, including a blue panel design at its base, and a horizontal blue glass band, To learn more about the project and it's design, visit the county webpage and search, blue goose.
There were close to 50 carbon monoxide incidents in Arlington last year, as well as several fires related to improper disposal of embers. The Fire Department wants you to know steps you can take to stay safe. Take a look.
Remember, If the carbon monoxide alarm in your home sounds, immediately move to fresh air and call 9-1-1. Its important to make sure your alarms are UL tested, and inspected every year. For more fire safety tips, visit arlingtonva.us/fire.
February is African American History Month. There will be events all around the County celebrating African American heritage. To find what is happening in your community, and how you can partake in the various events, visit the county website and search feel the heritage.

Arlington's 45th annual Martin Luther King event held this year at Washington-Lee High School is one of the longest running tributes to Dr. King in the country.
Hi, we'll tell you more about how Arlington commemorates Martin Luther King Day later in our program, but first, we want to bring you up to date on the weather.
We've had a Polar Vortex and an Alberta Clipper. Whether the Groundhog sees his shadow or not, there's clearly more winter weather to come. The Arlington website provides information and resources you can use during a storm. It includes a list of contacts for reporting downed trees and wires, and streets that need plowing. Arlington's Emergency Winter Shelter is open during the winter months to supplement services to homeless people during cold weather events.
The Sun Gazette reports that the jobless rate in Arlington remains the lowest of Virginia's 134 counties and cities. Arlington's jobless rate is 3.2 percent, according to recent figures from the Virginia Employment Commission. The unemployment rate in the County follows a general downward trend in the region.
Arlington's recent celebration of Dr. King's life, featured music from the Duke Ellington School of the Arts Show Choir, dance from Lesole's Dance Project and a presentation by Arlington's own Joan Mulholland. A civil rights activist and freedom rider, Joan Mulholland was the keynote speaker at this year's annual Martin Luther King Day celebration at Washington-Lee High School. She was part of the infamous Woolworth's sit-in, in Mississippi, in 1963.
To hear more from Joan Mulholland's extraordinary life, tune in to the next episode of Here/Now, running on Arlington TV starting in February.
Volunteering on Martin Luther King's birthday as part of a National Day of Service has become a tradition. An important, and popular, volunteer activity is helping to clean up our favorite Arlington parks. Volunteers worked along a section of the Four Mile Run, pulling trash out of Arlington County's largest stream watershed.
There are two special, region-wide awards we want to tell you about. County Board Member Mary Hynes was honored with the Elizabeth and David Scull Metropolitan Service Award, by the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments. The Scull award recognizes local, state and federal elected officials for outstanding contributions to the Washington area. Receiving the Scull award symbolizes excellence in regional service while in public office.
And secondly, the founders of Arlington's Synetic Theater were named Washingtonians of the Year by Washingtonian Magazine. The award recognizes people who make the Washington region a great place to live. Synetic's creative dramatization of Shakespeare and other stories through pantomime and dance is a boundary-pushing theater experience popular with all ages. Congratulations Paata and Irina Tsikurishvili.

Looking for ways to save on your electricity bill? So is Arlington County. That's why we rolled out the LED Streetlight program in 2010. The results have been outstanding with a nearly 75 percent reduction in energy use for the lights already replaced,saving approximately $300,000. Eventually the program will save the county over 1 million dollars per year.
The new, state-of-the-art LED lights provide a safe environment for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists alike during evening, nighttime and early morning hours. And, because they don't contain mercury, lead, or harmful UV light found in the older bulbs, they're good for the environment and safe for you.
The lights shine a pure white light that is closer to natural sunlight and may initially appear overly bright or harsh. This is normal. In fact, they're actually less bright than the older bulbs. So, it's just new and different. One other benefit of these lights is their dimming capability allowing the County to dim each light individually as the activity levels decrease on streets.
The lights come on at only 75% of their maximum power, and as the night progresses, they eventually power down to 25% while most of us are indoors and asleep.
We appreciate your patience as we help light the way to safer streets, a healthier environment and a better bottom line. To find out more about the street lights in your community, visit our webpage at arlingtonva.us, and search "street light".

Four hard working entrepreneurs got to pitch their business ideas before a panel of celebrity judges during Ballston's version of "Shark Tank." The Launchpad Challenge program mentored 14 contestants as they developed their ideas into business plans. And there was not one, but TWO winners! The panel of judges included Caps owner Ted Leonsis, Aneesh Chopra, former CTO for Barack Obama; Congressman Gerry Connolly, and Mark Gruhin, of the Saul Ewing law firm. To learn more about business startup opportunities, go to Ballstonbid.com or check out Arlington Economic Development at arlingtonvirginiausa.com.
The work around the Clarendon metro is complete, and the result is an upgraded park and plaza where you can stroll, visit a farmers' market, listen to music, and, of course, catch the Metro. Improvements on the 1.1 acre park were done in conjunction with Metro and have yielded an active, multi-use plaza that's attractive to residents and commuters. The park is also home to the war memorial dedicated to Arlington citizens who gave their lives for our country since World War I.

Long, long ago, Arlington County launched its first website. That was in the 1990's, and over the years, there have been changes and improvements. And guess what, we're changing for the better again.
A new website with a simpler interface and better organized by topic, so you don't actually have to know which department in the County does what. And the new site's mobile-friendly too. It will look different if you're coming from your desktop computer, tablet, or phone -- but always with the top information...well, at the top. And we put our homepage links on a diet. We've got fewer navigation links to sift through.
We've also slimmed down our content and made things more findable. Like, if you're getting hitched, you don't want to spend a lot of time searching around for the Marriage License info, right? Or if you're trying to check on your home's real estate assessment, we put the property look-up link right up front.
We'll also have some helpful new features coming out. Like a new tool for finding a park nearest you that has a playground, picnic table, or even a bocce court. And a new online tool where you can find out if last night's pizza box can be recycled.
So, we're changing...and we're going to keep changing to make things better for all of you.

During the months of November and December, Arlington County collects leaves from residents who receive county curbside trash and recycling services. Residents can rake their leaves in loose piles to the curbside for Vacuum Leaf Collection , or put their leaves in Biodegradable Leaf Bags for collection. In a classic recycling effort, the County mulches the leaves and brush it collects from residents, and grinds them to create mulch that is available to residents. This year Arlington County is taking a proactive approach to enhance the leaf collection program based on citizens concerns raised last year with thorough research and planning. Find out more about this years leaf collection planning process.
In 2006, Arlington recycled enough leaves to cover the Wizards basketball court at the Verizon Center with a 18-story leaf pile!
Collection Schedule - Arlington 's Department of Environmental Services (DES) comprehensively reviews historical data, analysis of tree canopy type and density, the National Weather Service Forecast, the Virginia Dept. of Forestry Forecast, and resident feedback to develop our leaf collection schedule. The schedule helps us to better allocate collection resources and serve neighborhoods when fallen leaves are heaviest. Yet, even with all of this analysis and planning, it's still ultimately up to Mother Nature as to when the leaves will fall.
Commitment to Service - The leaf collection program is an important County service with nearly 100 people dedicated to the program each season and over 30 pieces of equipment including vacuum trucks, rear loading collection trucks, and loaders. DES begins planning early in the year so the program will run seamlessly and cost-effectively.
Each year, staff recruit and hire approximately 40 temporary employees, prepare equipment, train workers, and evaluate data to develop an effective collection schedule. Other County employees post signs, deliver bags, and provide processing and storage support. Still others manage communication updates and answer the phones. And even before the final biodegradable leaf bags are collected, many of these same employees are already working on Christmas tree collection.
In order to continually improve our efforts, we will survey a number of residents at the conclusion of each vacuum pass to assess the quality of the program. Please take the time to let us know how we did. We take your comments very seriously, and together, we can make this year's leaf collection program one of the best on record.

Hunger might not seem to be an issue in Arlington, but the high cost of living here means that there is some food insecurity. The Arlington Food Assistance Center, or AFAC, distributes groceries to over 1,500 families every week. More on the creative ways Arlingtonians are fighting hunger later, but first we have to prepare for the oncoming season. And here in Arlington we have 5! It's leaf season!And that means leaf collection.
Free biodegradable leaf bags are available at locations around the county. Bag leaf collection begins Nov. 4 and vacuum collection begins Nov. 11. Find out when the vacuum will be in your neighborhood on our website: arlingtonva.us keyword "leaf."
And remember, the leaves are recycled into mulch that residents can obtain from the county.
Talking of recycling, E-CARE events happen twice a year. That's when Arlington residents can dispose of household hazardous materials, or HHM's, electronics and much more. Nearly 1,000 residents recycled over 34 and a half tons of material filling two tractor trailers. But you don't have to wait til the next E-CARE event, Just visit arlingtonva.us keyword HazMat, to find a list of hazardous materials and locations to take them.
One of the locations to dispose of rechargeable batteries is at some of Arlington's fire stations. And the Firefighters in our next story have been helping to fight hunger. Along with three of Arlington's top restaurant chefs, three of the county's firehouse cooks went toe-to-toe in a challenge to cook three courses and raise funds for The Arlington Food Assistance Center, or AFAC.
AFAC has also teamed up with Arlington Transit, and Giant Food challenging riders and residents to 'stuff the bus' full of non-perishable food. More than 4,700 pounds of food were donated to AFAC who will deliver the free groceries to families, and elderly residents who rely on them. And AFAC are always looking for your help. If you need food assistance, know someone who does, or want to volunteer, contact AFAC at afac.org or call 703-845-8486.

Transportation and moving people through or around Arlington is one of the most important issues in our community. This is evident in the recent improvements to Crystal Drive and the installation of three high-speed elevators at the Rosslyn Metro.
Hi, more on those stories later, but first I want to talk about earthquakes, remember a couple of years ago we had one? Well, at 10:17am on Oct 17, millions of Virginians will take part in the Great Shakeout earthquake drill.
And this is how you do it, when you feel the ground shaking, DROP to the ground. Take COVER under a something sturdy, like a desk or table, and HOLD ON until it stops. You can learn more at www.shakout.org
Friends of the library Lindy-hopped back to the 1920s and raised thousands of dollars for the Arlington Library's early literacy programs. Dressed in period clothing, dancers did the Charleston in the Artisphere's ballroom to raise funds and support the 1000 Books before Kindergarten initiative. You can register for the early literacy program at any Arlington Public Library. For more information in both English and Spanish go to library.arlingtonva.us
Crystal Drive has been converted from a one-way to a two-way street. And new traffic signals help pedestrians and bicyclists cross safely. It's all part of the Crystal City Sector Plan to transform this urban village into a more vibrant and walkable neighborhood. To learn more about the new HAWK pedestrian and cyclist crossing system, visit arlingtonva.us and search 'HAWK'
You can now get in out of Rosslyn Metro Station in record time with the help of new high-speed elevators. Other improvements include a dedicated mezzanine area that's reached by a connecting passageway for better passenger flow. There's also an emergency evacuation stairwell for improved safety. To find out more about the planning process and 'Realize Rosslyn' visit arlingtonva.us/rosslyn
With its unique Community Canine Area, the James Hunter Park is now officially open. So if you live in Clarendon, work in Clarendon, or just visiting Clarendon, the park is open to you every day! The park is a short 3 minute walk from the metro station on North Hartford Street and 13th Street North. Learn more about James Hunter Park at arlingtonva.us/Parks

After years of development and community input, the new Arlington Mill Community Center has opened its doors on Columbia Pike. This building, a beacon in the community, will provide something for everyone, of every age and every culture. As Columbia Pike continues to grow, this community center will help to foster a main-street environment and a stronger sense of community.
Some of the key features and programs of the new community center include:
• Combining high quality, multi-purpose community center and affordable housing on the Pike. In one of the county's most ethnically and economically diverse areas, Arlington Mill will provide a wide range of courses, classes, recreational and sports opportunities to the community. The center will offer something for everyone, from pre-K to seniors.
• The county board's long-term effort to transform the Pike into a more transit-oriented, walkable, bikeable street that provides high-quality transportation options, ground floor retail, and great public spaces for residents, while preserving the stock of affordable housing and encouraging small business.
• The project came in on budget, and plans to serve a large portion of the population on a consistent basis. Services from DHS and DPR will be served out of this facility and the center has been built to grow along with the community and their needs.
To learn more about Arlington Mill Community Center, hours of operation, and all of the programs offered, visit the county webpage at arlingtonva.us and search Arlington Mill.

"Community led consensus " is the phrase that best describes the process of renovating James Hunter Park in Clarendon. The community had to decide what kind of park they wanted? Who should it benefit? Should it be for dogs? Should it be for people? The process was thorough, and the result, as you will find out, is pretty unique.
It's an amazing park, it's open from sunrise to 10pm every day, with the canine area closing at 9pm. The dog area will also close from 10am to noon on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for staff to clean and maintain it. To find out more about the James Hunter Park visit Arlingtonva.us/parks.

September is Emergency Preparedness Month, and there's a bunch of fun stuff going on that can help you be prepared. We'll tell you more about them later and take a look at a ceremony honoring those who are the most prepared of all -- Arlington's First Responders.
But first, the much-anticipated Arlington Mill Community Center is now open! This amazing new facility at the corner of Columbia Pike and South Dinwiddie Street has a gym and programs for all ages. Take a tour and attend the ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday, September 21 from 5 to 7 p.m.
Students can use the ART bus to get around Arlington at reduced rates. Middle & high school students can pick up an iRide SmarTrip card for just $3 at local Commuter Stores. The iRide card also works as a regular SmarTrip card on Metrobus and Metrorail.
Another way to get around is by bike. BikeArlington is offering free classes in Courthouse and Rosslyn. RSVP on line for Two Wheel Tuesdays at BikeArlington.com/TWT. And, if you have a bike, make sure to register it with the Police on the Arlingtonva.us website, keywords: bicycle registration.
Bring yourself -- and your dog -- to the newly revamped James Hunter Park at 1230 N. Hartford Street in Clarendon. Recent renovations include a plaza, garden, water features, and a separate area where dogs can frolic to their hearts content.
Well, we all want to be prepared, but no one is more prepared than First Responders and sailors on the USS Arlington. Our community is still raising funds for the on-board 9/11 Tribute Room at events like the recent Navy League reception that honored Arlington's First Responders.
And, you can learn more about emergency preparedness during trivia nights at local watering holes. Or join VEST -- Arlington's Volunteer Emergency Support Team. Find out more at sites.arlingtonva.us/oem. And, don't forget to sign up for Arlington Alert to get emergency messages on your computer or handheld device at arlingtonalert.com. If there's an emergency, you'll want to know about it, and be prepared.

Arlington has lots of fun places to spend the night out with friends. But be careful, among the crowded bars predators are prowling, looking for victims who've had "one too many".
To make sure your good times stay good, here are some safety tips for partying in a safe, responsible way.
• Go out with friends and always arrive and leave together.
• NEVER leave your drink unattended.
• Don't accept drinks from strangers.
• If you let someone buy you a drink, make sure you watch the drink being poured.
• WATCH OUT for your friends. Check on each other through the night.
• If you see a friend acting strangely or out of character, get them to a safe place immediately!
• And NEVER walk home or even to the metro, ALONE.
And remember: Never hesitate to call the police if you think you spot suspicious activity. Call 911 for emergencies. And for non-emergencies, call 703-558-2222. For more safety tips, visit arlingtonva.us/police

Ashlawn Elementary School teacher Cynthia Power was looking for a way to volunteer in her community while spending time with her beloved dog Humphrey. What she found has become one of the most popular reading events in the Arlington County Library system: Paws to Read, the program where kids read to dogs.
The program is designed to help kids with their reading skills and their vocalization skills by spending time reading in a completely non-judgemental, non-corrective environment.
"Paws to Read is an amazing program." Cynthia explains, "Children reading aloud in a non-judgmental atmosphere builds their confidence and reading skills. Always having someone correct mispronunciations, lack of inflection, or skipped words, does not really inspire confidence. Parents and teachers often find it difficult to provide non-judgmental reading time for children. Dogs do it perfectly!"
All of the dogs are certified by People Animals Love (PAL) as Therapy Dogs and they are trained to be gentle around children. To learn more about PAL's work: http://www.peopleanimalslove.org/
For her efforts, Cynthia and Humphrey have been honored with an Outstanding Volunteer Award by the Arlington County Board. You can read more about Cynthia and Humphrey's work here: http://library.arlingtonva.us/2013/05/23/congratulations-to-humphrey/

Today 1 in 3 children in America is considered obese. That's why it's important for us to find fun and innovative ways to kids to move more. The Arlington County Parks & Recreation Department is finding lots of ways to help kids age into activity. Arlington TV's Katie Sweeney drops in at Walter Reed Community Center to see what they're doing to help kids get fit. There, Jamal Jones, Director of After School Programs at Walter Reed, lets us join a class helping kids train for the upcoming Turtle Trot 5K. Katie makes a few friends with the kids, and later they get a visit from the Chairman of the Arlington County Board, J. Walter Tejada.

Five years after its keel was laid down the USS Arlington finally sailed into its home port of Norfolk Virginia where it was commissioned into active service in the United States Navy. It was a memorable and moving beginning to what Arlington officials hope is a long relationship.
In the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the US Navy requisitioned three ships that would commemorate the events, pay honor to the Americans who died, and tribute to the efforts of the first responders who were America's first line of defense on that day.
The USS Arlington is a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock ship. This is the third USS Arlington, the previous two having served between WWII and Vietnam. It's a history that highlights the unique relationship between Arlington County and the military.
Because of that unique relationship, Arlington wanted to give the USS Arlington a homecoming unlike any the Navy had ever seen before: a salute from the emergency officials who responded to the attack on the Pentagon on 9/11.
It was an emotional homecoming for the crew which had spent two years in Mississippi preparing the ship for active duty and the first responders salute only added to the powerful feelings of this day. The homecoming event highlighted the growing relationship between the two Arlingtons: county and ship.
That legacy is going to be preserved in a planned Tribute Room onboard the USS Arlington, which will pay honor to both the victims and the heroes of the attack on the Pentagon. A living legacy of Arlington's response to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, the tribute room will be an important ambassador for our county, as it hosts events and dignitaries all around the world.
As the USS Arlington was commissioned into active duty, the men and women who serve on it bore with them the hopes of a nation, and the special hopes of our community that the relationship we've started will continue to grow over time.
The USS Arlington Commission is still looking for contributions to help build the Tribute Room. So if you'd like to donate, or to find out more about the ship, go to
www.USSArlingtonLPD24.org.

These permits include requirements for the locality to reduce water pollution as much as possible, through a variety of programs. Arlington's current permit is now up for renewal and is the first of a new, more stringent generation of stormwater permits in Virginia in response to the continuing impact that stormwater has on local water quality, the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay.

The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) project on Arlington Boulevard is replacing the aging Courthouse Road bridge. This project will improve traffic flow and safety at the interchanges on Route 50/Arlington Boulevard at 10th Street and at Courthouse Road. These interchanges were constructed in the early 1950's, are tightly spaced by today's standards, with short acceleration lanes and insufficient capacity for current and future traffic volumes.
The 10th Street and Courthouse Road bridges over westbound Arlington Boulevard will be replaced, and dedicated acceleration/deceleration lanes will be added on Arlington Boulevard, separated from the main roadway. These new lanes will improve traffic flow by managing the merge of entering and exiting vehicles.

El invierno está acá: y eso significa hielo y nieve. Queremos informarle como Arlington lidia con el clima invernal. Arlington tiene una respuesta por etapas para los incidentes de nieve. Cuando se pronostica una tormenta, entramos en la Fase 1: Alerta. En esta fase, el personal del Condado comienza a tratar las calles y prepararse. Usted puede ayudar también manteniéndose informado y se organizándose con sus vecinos para mover los autos de las calles o correrlos a un costado.. Esto ayudará cuando aremos las áreas residenciales.
Cuando comienza la nieve, entramos en la Fase 2: Limpieza de las rutas principales. Cuando cae nieve, el personal trabaja para limpiar las arterias principales y secundarias. Es fundamental mantener estas calles abiertas para casos de emergencia. Recomendamos que los residentes eviten salir, al menos de que sea absolutamente necesario, y sean consientes de que incluso en las rutas principales solo se pueda circular por un carril.
Cuando para la nieve entramos en la Fase 3: Ensanchamiento de las arterias principales y secundarias y comienzo del proceso de limpieza de las calles residenciales.
Usted nos puede ayudar en la Fase 3 de diferentes formas. En primer lugar, Arlington tiene una Ordenanza sobre Nieve que establece que todos los dueños de propiedades de Arlington deben limpiar la nieve y el hielo de las aceras públicas adyacentes a su propiedad dentro de 24 horas, o 36 si se acumulan más de 6 pulgadas de nieve. La nieve de las propiedades privadas no puede depositarse enpropiedades públicas. Y, por favor, sea un buen vecino y ayude a los que viven cerca suyo, especialmente si tiene vecinos mayores o con discapacidades físicas que les impiden palear la nieve. Si vive cerca de una boca de incendio, limpie la nieve para que el personal de emergencia pueda encontrarlo fácilmente.
Recuerde: Infórmese, prepárese, tenga paciencia, y sea un buen vecino.

Winter's upon us: and that means snow and ice. We wanted to let you know how Arlington deals with winter weather.
Arlington has a phased response to all snow incidents. Once a winter weather storm has been forecast, we enter Phase 1: Alert. In the Alert phase, County crews begin treating roads and preparing for a storm. You can help too by staying informed, and organizing with your neighbors to move all cars off the roads or to one side of the street. This will help us greatly when it comes time to plow residential neighborhoods.
When the snow starts, we enter Phase 2: Clearing the primary routes. While the snow is falling, snow plow crews will work at clearing only the primary and secondary arterials. It's vital that we keep these roads open for emergency use. We recommend that residents stay off the road at this time unless absolutely necessary and be aware that even primary routes may only be passable in one lane at this time.
When the snow stops we can begin to move into Phase 3: widening the passage way on primary and secondary arterial routes and beginning the process of cleaning residential streets.
You can help us in Phase 3 in several ways. First, Arlington has a Snow Ordinance that requires all Arlington property owners to clear snow and ice from public sidewalks adjacent to their property within 24 hours, or within 36 hours if accumulation are more than 6 inches. Snow from private property may not be deposited onto public property. And please, Be a Good Neighbor and help those who live around you to clear their walks, particularly if you have neighbors who are elderly or physically incapable of shoveling snow. If you live near a fire hydrant, please help by clearing the snow from the hydrant so first responders may find them easily.
The County has many great resources for helping you stay informed during a winter weather event. Go to the Snow Central page on the County website. There you can report snow issues we need to be aware of. You can also find out about cancellations, closings, and delays in the County. And you can even
View real-time road conditions through dozens of live traffic cameras.
Remember: be informed, be prepared, be patient, and be a good neighbor. And we'll all get through the winter together.

Arlington County celebrated the completion of Phase I of Penrose Square, located at 2503 Columbia Pike. The County's newest square is 17,000 square feet and includes features that incorporate elements of Arlington's vision of sustainability:
"Echo," two-piece sculpture by Richard Deutsch
A tree-covered upper terrace with movable tables and chairs
An inner plaza with a water feature
Small gardens interspersed in the plaza, designed to provide seasonal colors
Sustainable USE OF WATER:
Bio-filtration system underneath the tree terrace to filter storm water runoff and enhance tree root growth
Water recirculation system that allows the water feature to conserve the use of water at the site
The ribbon cutting ceremony was held in front of the square's public art piece, Echo, a two piece sculpture by Richard Deutsch. As a member of Penrose Square's landscape design team, Richard Deutsch created the interactive sculpture inspired by the Three Sisters Radio Towers, formerly located near Columbia Pike and Courthouse Road.
Built in 1913 by the Navy as cutting-edge technology, the towers broadcast the first trans-Atlantic radio signal in 1915, connecting Arlington with the Eiffel Tower. They also introduced regular broadcasts of time signals -- important navigational aids for ships at sea. When National Airport opened in 1941 the towers posed an aviation hazard and were taken down.
Echo provides a modern interpretation of Arlington's significant contribution to the history of communication. The concave elliptical parabolas carved into each monolith reflect and project sound, allowing words spoken into one stone to be heard by listeners at the other. California-based artist Deutsch designs sculpture and environments using stone, water, bronze, and stainless steel. Like Echo, much of his work is marked by an understanding of space and environment and an attention to social context and history.

Notice anything missing? That's right. Sound. It's all around us. And with over 200,000 Arlingtonians living together in just 26 square miles, it can get pretty loud sometimes. Hey! That's enough. Too much noise! That's better.
That's why Arlington, like most communities attempts to control noise through a Sound Ordinance. But few ordinances are as challenging to enforce as one that regulates noise, because our personal perceptions of noise vary widely, as does our tolerance to the source of noise. While some people find traffic noises irritating, others can't tolerate the sound babies crying or dogs barking. One person's music is another person's noise.
Spurred by a recent Virginia Supreme Court ruling which struck down subjective criteria, Arlington is undertaking the first update to its Noise Control ordinance since the 1970s. A lot of things have changed in Arlington over the last four decades and as Arlington has become a more commercial and urban community, it's gotten louder... and louder. On an average week night in the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor the basic ambient noise can exceed 60 dB.
In addition, methods of measurement created in the 70s have become less useful over time, as have penalties and fines.
The challenge we face is to define new tools that create clear, reasonable, objective standards, AND allow for effective and equitable enforcement. Enforcement issues can become particularly difficult at night or on weekends when Arlington County Police must respond to noise complaints among their other duties. These are also the times when noise control issues can frustrate and aggravate us the most.
Effective noise control means coming together to protect our community's health, safety, and welfare while respecting each other's rights. After all, each one of us makes the world just a little bit louder.
You can find out more about Arlington's noise control ordinance, or file a complaint yourself, by going to building.arlingtonva.us.

To Learn more about the program, visit the Department of Environmental Services webpage.
During the months of November and December, Arlington County collects leaves from residents who receive county curbside trash and recycling services. Residents can rake their leaves in loose piles to the curbside for Vacuum Leaf Collection , or put their leaves in Biodegradable Leaf Bags for collection. In a classic recycling effort, the County mulches the leaves and brush it collects from residents, and grinds them to create mulch that is available to residents. This year Arlington County is taking a proactive approach to enhance the leaf collection program based on citizens concerns raised last year with thorough research and planning. Find out more about this years leaf collection planning process.
In 2006, Arlington recycled enough leaves to cover the Wizards basketball court at the Verizon Center with a 18-story leaf pile!
Collection Schedule -- Arlington 's Department of Environmental Services (DES) comprehensively reviews historical data, analysis of tree canopy type and density, the National Weather Service Forecast, the Virginia Dept. of Forestry Forecast, and resident feedback to develop our leaf collection schedule. The schedule helps us to better allocate collection resources and serve neighborhoods when fallen leaves are heaviest. Yet, even with all of this analysis and planning, it's still ultimately up to Mother Nature as to when the leaves will fall.
Commitment to Service -- The leaf collection program is an important County service with nearly 100 people dedicated to the program each season and over 30 pieces of equipment including vacuum trucks, rear loading collection trucks, and loaders. By the end of the 2010-11 leaf season, we expect to collect over 45,000 cubic yards of leaves for processing into leaf mulch. DES begins planning early in the year so the program will run seamlessly and cost-effectively.
Each year, staff recruit and hire approximately 40 temporary employees, prepare equipment, train workers, and evaluate data to develop an effective collection schedule. Other County employees post signs, deliver bags, and provide processing and storage support. Still others manage communication updates and answer the phones. And even before the final biodegradable leaf bags are collected, many of these same employees are already working on Christmas tree collection.
In order to continually improve our efforts, we will survey a number of residents at the conclusion of each vacuum pass to assess the quality of the program. Please take the time to let us know how we did. We take your comments very seriously, and together, we can make this year's leaf collection program one of the best on record.

Bipolar disorder is usually first exhibited in people in their late teens and early 20s. Peter De Haven was diagnosed at the age of 11 in 1984, when bipolar disorder in children was almost unheard of, and rarely diagnosed. Finding the right medication was a constant struggle for Peter and his Mother. Refusing to take his meds led to suicide attempts and eventually, prison. In this story we see how it is possible for those labeled mentally ill to function in a society that too often fails them. Peter was lucky to find a place in Arlington VA that could give him the right tools to bring him 'back to wellness'.

Residents can rake their leaves in loose piles to the curbside for Vacuum Leaf Collection , or put their leaves in Biodegradable Leaf Bags for collection. In a classic recycling effort, the County mulches the leaves and brush it collects from residents, and grinds them to create mulch that is available to residents.

In Crystal City sits Tagolio, a pizzeria that uses a unique and special ingredient to perfect their pies. Coal. Yup, sounds weird, but this coal, anthracite, comes from abandoned mines, produces no smell or no pollution, and actually burns cleaner than wood or gas. And did I mention it makes the pizza here amazing? Alright, enough with the science lesson, time to eat.

Following on from public focus groups and an online survey, the next step in the cable franchise renewal process with Comcast is for a public hearing on September 13 at 7:30pm in the County Board room.
The cable franchise renewal process examines the past performance of Comcast -- as well as future services that citizens, schools, community groups, businesses and local government would like to include in a new cable franchise agreement.
Come learn about what information was gathered during focus groups and surveys, and share your own comments.
Once every 10-15 years, local governments have the opportunity to examine past services provided by cable/video service providers and renegotiate franchise agreements. Given the enormous changes in technology and media over the past 15 years, the process of granting a new franchise to Comcast deserves serious consideration and public input.

You may know that the Internet was, in fact, created in Arlington in the 1970s. The technology was developed by the Defense Department's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), now known as DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).
The ARPANET, a project of the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the Department of Defense, developed the technology that became the foundation for the internet. Originally intended to support military needs, ARPANET technology was soon applied to civilian uses, allowing information to be rapidly and widely available. The internet, and services such as e-mail, e-commerce and the World Wide Web, continues to grow as the under-lying technologies evolve. The innovations inspired by the ARPANET have provided great benefits for society.

If you are anything like us, you'll flip through a cook book, a magazine, or watch a cooking show and think to yourself "that looks amazing," and so you try to recreate it. What you quickly learn is that your food looks nothing like their result, and a big part of that is because their food has been styled. I'm not talking a new pair of jeans, but painted, glazed and whole slew of other techniques that make it look amazing. Today, we're sitting down with the area's most sought after food stylist, Lisa Cherkasky, an Arlington resident who's been touching up food for over 25 years.

The Arlington Green Games is a friendly competition for commercial property owners/managers and office tenants to
reduce costs while reducing their emissions. The year-long competition pits buildings against buildings and offices
against offices in the race for business gold. The highly interactive program incorporates trainings, best practices, and
technical assistance along the way. Top performers and most improved scores will be recognized by the County and
local media.
The Arlington Green Games is modeled after the highly-successful Green Office Challenge launched by ICLEI-Local
Governments for Sustainability and the City of Chicago in 2009. In its first year, more than 160 downtown office
tenants and 45 enrolled in the program. Their combined accomplishments resulted in a reduction of more than 70
million kilowatt-hours of electricity and 54,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide -- equal to removing more than 10,000
cars off Chicago streets.
The Arlington Green Games will officially launch in October 2010, in time for National Energy Awareness Month. Preregistration
is now open at www.arlingtongreengames.com.

Arlington is proud of its namesake, the Navy's new ship "USS Arlington." The ship will be commissioned at Naval Station Norfolk in early April. Supporters attended a reception at the Army-Navy Country Club, where they heard from the ship's commander and others about the planned Commissioning in April . A Tribute Room on board the ship will recognize and honor first responders and those who lost their lives at the Pentagon on 9/11.
USS Arlington (LPD-24), a San Antonio-class amphibious transport dock, is planned to be the third ship of the United States Navy to be named for Arlington, Virginia, the location of the Pentagon. Like her sister ships, USS New York and Somerset, she is named in commemoration of the September 11, 2001 attacks. Steel taken from the Pentagon after the September 11 attacks will be displayed aboard.
Arlington's keel was laid down on 26 May 2008, at Northrop Grumman's Ingalls shipyard in Pascagoula, Mississippi. She was launched on November 23, 2010, with her christening on March 26, 2011. Mrs. Joyce Rumsfeld, wife of former United States Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, is the ship's sponsor.
The commissioning date has not been officially announced but tentatively set for April 6, 2013 at Naval Station Norfolk.
