City grapples with
business closures
Shopping scene undergoes
changes, Old Town sales
decreased in fiscal 2014
By Chris teale
The recent closure of several
longtime locally owned businesses leaves city leaders with
the tall task of counteracting a
slowdown in sales and consumer
economic activity.
In the past few months, Bradlee Shoe Repair, Monroe’s,
Mancini’s, Hannelore’s of Olde
Town, Decorium and Why Not?
all announced their closure. Old
Town Coffee, Tea and Spice announced it would leave its current
location, but owner Frank Poland
said he is exploring a possible
new space.
For some of the owners, retirement beckons. Others say they
are seeking to move on to new
opportunities. Some cite the rise

reasons for closing their doors. Data prepared by city staff
for the Old Town Area Parking
Study work group and obtained
by the Alexandria Times paints
an overall gloomy economic picture, as gross sales receipts in Old
Town decreased from fiscal years
2013 to 2014, even as the number
of businesses remained steady.
In fiscal 2014, 329 Old Town
businesses tallied $293,656,781
in sales, whereas in fiscal 2013,
the same number of businesses
earned $310,609,016. It meant a
reduction by $16,952,235, or 5.5
percent.

While talking about the
success of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria
taking in dogs rescued from a
meat farm in South Korea in
January 2015, AWLA executive director Megan Webb is
joined by Minnow, a Sapsaree breed who struggled with
serious leg issues and adult
teeth that were powder-like
as they developed due to nutrition deficiencies.
Fast forward a year and
Minnow is set for adoption,
having recovered and become a dog that loves being
the center of attention. She is
a real success story, and after AWLA saw several other
pups from the farm go to
happy homes, the organization decided to take in eight
more late last year.
A total of 26 dogs arrived
at Dulles Airport on December 14, having been rescued by
Humane Society International
from another dog meat farm.
They were transported to the
Washington Animal Rescue
League for a health check,
after which the eight destined
for Alexandria were brought
to the Vola Lawson Animal
Shelter for further health and
behavior evaluation.
The dogs are of a wide
variety of breeds, including
Shiba mixes, Beagle mixes,
Tosa mixes and a Terrier,
and arrived with a variety of
medical and emotional issues
after being bred and held in
cages until only recently.
“When they come in,
they’re very under-socialized,
very frightened, really having
to learn almost everything
from scratch because most
of them have just lived in a
cage, haven’t even touched
the ground and haven’t seen
toys,” Webb said. “They
haven’t had affection.”
Instead of paying meat
farmers to no longer raise
dogs, HSI focuses on educating them to cultivate new
products, with the previous
cohort’s former home now
seeing a second life as a blueberry farm. When the dogs arrive at animal shelters across
the country, the transition can
be tough, so those looking afSEE DOgs | 6

U.S. Deputy Secretary of
Labor Chris Lu (left), helps
move a box of donated
clothing out of the sorting
area. Lu, Mayor Allison
Silberberg and Friends
of Guest House executive director Kari Galloway
(right) meet during a day of
service to commemorate
Martin Luther King Day.
Mayor Allison Silberberg
was joined by U.S. Deputy Secretary of Labor Chris Lu at Friends
of Guest House in Alexandria
on January 15 to commemorate
Martin Luther King Day and
hold a day of service. The pair
joined other volunteers in sorting
clothing donations for residents,
alumni and their families.
“We need to do all we can
to help people with re-entry,”
Silberberg said. “It takes great
courage for people to restart
their lives after serving time.”
Lu’s appearance came on the
heels of the U.S. Department of
Labor’s announcement of the
availability of $5 million for 10
grants of up to $500,000 each
to set up job centers in county,
municipal, or regional correctional facilities to support links
between pre-release and postrelease services.
Friends of Guest House runs a
highly successful residential program in Del Ray that helps wom-
en re-enter the community after
serving time primarily in the Alexandria, Fairfax and Arlington
jails for nonviolent offenses. Over
the past 10 years, it has helped between 300 and 400 women and
their families. Guest House runs
an intensive program that has
a criminal relapse rate of only
about 10 percent, compared with
a national rate of 55 to 60 percent,
after three years for females convicted of nonviolent crimes.

Man arrested for Burke and Herbert Bank robbery
An Alexandria man was arrested January 14 in connection
with the robbery of the Burke
and Herbert Bank branch located at 306 E. Monroe Ave. on
January 4, police said.
City resident Ernest Moten,
58, was arrested and charged
with robbery and the manufacture and possession or use of
a hoax explosive device. He is
being held without bond.
Police said that at around
2:25 p.m. on January 4, Moten
entered the bank and handed
a note to the teller demanding
money and implying that he
had an explosive device. The
teller complied, and he fled
the scene with an undisclosed
amount of cash, leaving behind
his device, which officers de-
termined was a hoax.
The Alexandria Police Department was assisted in its
search by the Fairfax County
Police Department and the
FBI.

Crawley presents ACPS operating budget proposal
Superintendent’s plan
would include $11.8
million increase from city
FY 2016 Classification of
Operating Expenditures
Total Expenditures = $240.4 Million
BY Chris Teale
Schools Superintendent Alvin Crawley had one eye on the
present and one eye looking toward the future while asking for
further monetary help from city
council with his latest operating
budget proposal for Alexandria
City Public Schools, which he
presented on January 14 at a
meeting of the Alexandria City
School Board.
Crawley’s plan proposes a
total of $278.9 million in spending for fiscal 2017, a $10.5 million increase over the fiscal 2016
budget. Included in that total is a
request for $210.6 million from
city coffers, an increase of $11.8
million over last year’s appropriation. Were the city to grant this
level of funding, ACPS officials
say local per-pupil spending,
which currently sits at $13,483
per student, would increase for
the first time in five years.
During the meeting, the
first official one for the new
school board since its installation on January 7, Crawley
said his proposal is driven primarily by a desire to cope with
growing student enrollment
while maintaining strong academic performance. According to projections, ACPS enrollment will continue to grow
at an average of 3.6 percent
annually over five years, and
plateau around 2030.
“We believe that this budget will allow us to move forward with the fiscal resources
that are necessary to meet the
needs of our students and remain competitive,” Crawley
said. “We know that there are
fiscal constraints and have
been good stewards of taxpayer dollars, but believe that this
is a fair and reasonable budget
that reflects our board’s stated
priorities and helps us to create the opportunities today
that will ensure a better tomorrow for our students.”

We know that there are fiscal

but believe that this is a fair and
reasonable budget that reflects our
board’s stated priorities and helps
us to create the opportunities today
that will ensure a better tomorrow
for our students.”
- Alvin Crawley, schools superintendent
is a $6.1 million initial expenditure to go towards two
new ACPS facilities: the proposed new elementary school
on the West End to try to ease
crowding in that part of the
city, and a drive to make more
classroom space by centralizing the provision of pre-K in
one building.
Both buildings are projected to be open in time for the
2017-18 school year. Currently,
ACPS’s pre-K offerings are
spread across multiple schools,
and Crawley said a centralized
effort would have more than
just one benefit.
“We believe that this will
not only address capacity, but
also strengthen the coordination and delivery of our pre-K
services to students and their
families,” he said.
In addition, the budget includes $5.8 million for new
teachers, $3.5 million to support the goals of the ACPS
2020 Strategic Plan regarding
academic achievement, family
engagement, business partnerships and effective operations;
additional nursing and mental
health professionals to work
with students; funds for new
textbooks, teacher mentoring
and security monitoring; and
initiatives to aid communication between ACPS and the
community, including parent
liaisons and translators.
Crawley’s proposal also
calls for a full step increase
in pay for all eligible staff, a
small bonus for staff not eligible for the increase and the
20
City Appropriation per Student
www.acps.k12.va.us
25
adoption of the City of Alexandria’s living wage — $13.13
an hour — as a new minimum
wage, which officials said will
keep ACPS competitive with
nearby school systems.
To help pay for these proposals, the budget suggests eliminating vacant positions, revising
how community partnerships
are structured and reducing
spending on substitute teachers
and transportation services.
“All of these initiatives allow us to meet the needs of our
students, to differentiate their
learning, to support our staff, to
increase our accountability and
overall effectiveness as a school
division,” Crawley said.
Crawley warned that if the
city does not step up its funding levels, ACPS is at risk of
not being able to cope with the
challenges it faces. The city appropriated $198 million to city
schools in the fiscal 2016 budget, approximately 83 percent
of the funds available to ACPS,
with other revenue coming
from state, local and federal
funds among other sources.
“If we do not receive the
funding that’s requested, we
know that it will have an impact on our ability to provide
the necessary services for our
students, and we know that
it will have an impact on our
ability to address crowding in
our school buildings,” he said.

Dogs
ALEXANDRIA TIMES
I think it’s really inspiring to see
how resilient dogs can be and
how the affection that these owners
are providing has changed these dogs.

ter them take things slowly.
“The last few weeks have
just been a lot of letting them
relax and assimilate and not
asking too much of them,”
said Webb. “Some of them
are much more ready to turn
around and be social than
others, so we don’t force them
to be social. It’s just little by
little. We wanted to deal with
any medical issues, so we’ve
been doing that.”
Dealing with those medical ailments means there
is no definite timeline on
when dogs will be available
for adoption, although Webb
said that the majority are in
a position where they are either available or have already
been snapped up by new owners. Testing a dog’s sociability is crucial for AWLA staff,
as they ascertain how each
individual will cope in new
environments.
“We don’t want them to
regress, so if we push them
too hard and say, ‘Here you
go, ready to go,’ and they’re
surrounded by people and
they’re taken to dog parks

and it’s just too much, they
can go backwards even further,” Webb said. “With the
puppies, they’re coming up,
they want attention. There’s
no sense that they have any
issues with that at all. Some
of the adult dogs are sitting
back, they really aren’t sure
what’s going on, but we’re
seeing progress.”
It is a strategy that worked
well with the previous dogs

all progressed thanks to the
work of AWLA staff and
their new owners.
“I think it’s really inspiring to see how resilient dogs
can be and how the affection
that these owners are providing
has changed these dogs,” Webb
said. “Really, you look at the
pictures of where those dogs
came from and it’s hard to think
that they can be [such] well-adjusted dogs and so social.”
In addition to helping dogs
from South Korea, Webb said
AWLA’s participation in the
HSI rescue program has helped
increase awareness of dogs and
other animals available for adoption in the community too. She
noted that when the first cohort
of dogs was announced, AWLA
received phone calls from people interested in adopting from
around 35 states, and while the
shelter’s involvement will not be
especially regular, it helps spread
the word of AWLA’s mission.
“I think we’ve participated
in a way that helped get the
idea out there,” Webb said. “I
think there’s way too many
dogs to rescue ultimately, and
to bring to the United States.
This has been an opportunity
to get the message out and to
help educate people about this
issue, but we always have to
consider our animals here locally, and there are a lot of animals locally that need help.”
Like Webb, AWLA volunteer photographer Shelley
Castle has been there every
step of the way with both sets
of South Korean dogs, and
said it was heartening to see
residents care so much.
“It was really interesting to
see how the community here really got almost invested in the
dogs themselves,” Castle said. “It
was really discussed wide-range
all through the community, so I
always found it was interesting
to have people ask about the Korean dogs. I couldn’t believe they
were that famous.”

Man charged for sending inappropriate photos to minor
A 24-year-old adult student bus aide at Quander
Road School was charged on
January 13 with two felony
counts of solicitation of a minor after sending two inappropriate photos of himself
to a student in November and
December 2015.
Morrice D. Stephenson,
24, of 7103 Davis St. in the
Groveton neighborhood was
arrested and is being held
without bond at the Fairfax
County Adult Detention Center. Police initially responded
to Quander Road School, located at 6400 Quander Road,
around 12:15 p.m. for a report
of an adult student bus aide
possibly having inappropriate
relations with a student.
A 16-year-old female student reported to school administration that the aide, whom
she knew, had allegedly sent
her at least two inappropriate
photos of himself. After an investigation by detectives of the
Fairfax County Police Department’s Major Crimes Division
Child Exploitation Unit, Stephenson was arrested.
Police ask anyone with information about the incident
to contact Crime Solvers electronically by visiting www.
fairfaxcrimesolvers.org,
by
texting “TIP187” plus your
message to 274637, by calling
1-866-411-8477, or calling the

Cedar Knoll restaurant re-opens after shuttering
for more than a year
After being closed since November 2014, restaurant Cedar Knoll on
the George Washington Memorial
Parkway re-opened last month under new management.
The building at 9030 Lucia Lane
was originally a farmhouse on
George Washington’s estate. He became sole owner of the Mount Vernon Plantation in 1752 and acquired
five farms, including River Farm,
of which Cedar Knoll was a part.
The original farmhouse was built
in the early 1800s as a tenant home
for the 115.3-acre plantation called
Markland on the Potomac.
More recently, Pauline Walsh was
the first property owner to use the
building for commercial purposes, as
she extensively remodeled the building and opened the Mount Vernon
View Antique Shop. The property has
been owned since 1970 by Raj and
Asha Mallick, who themselves made
extensive repairs during the restaurant’s closure.
The restaurant is now managed
jointly by Charles Blevins, Andrew
Holden, Christopher Holden, Max
Pena and Neal Wadhwa, who all
have decades of experience in the
industry. The menu is American
with French influences, and uses
seasonal local ingredients.
Most of the tables at Cedar Knoll
have views of the Potomac River.
There also will be outdoor dining during warm weather. The complex includes log cabin that serves as a lounge.
Former West Potomac High vice-principal sentenced for contributing to
delinquency of a minor
A former West Potomac
High School vice-principal
was convicted last month for
misdemeanor conduct after
he drove a juvenile to a bar in
Alexandria and bought her al cohol. Aaron Engley, 42, was
sentenced to a suspended jail
sentence on December 2, 2015.
On October 18, 2014, Engley
met with a 17-year-old female
student in the city of Alexan-
dria after West Potomac’s 2014
homecoming school dance,
drove her to a bar in Alexandria and purchased her alcohol.
Engley made a plea agreement
with prosecutors and was found

guilty of one count of contributing to the delinquency of a minor for wilfully contributing to,
encouraging, or causing an act,
omission or condition that rendered a child delinquent.
Chief Judge Constance H.
Frogale of the Alexandria Juvenile and Domestic Relations
District Court heard Engley’s
guilty plea and accepted the
recommended sentence. He
was sentenced to 12 months
of jail, with all that time suspended, conditioned upon his
good behavior for one year and
making no further contact with
the victim.
The Fairfax County Police Department and the Alexandria Police Department’s
Criminal Investigations Section investigated the case. As-
sistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Sean Sherlock led the
prosecution.
“This case is an example of a
school official abusing his position in a way that was harmful
to a student,” said Commonwealth’s Attorney Bryan Porter
in a statement. “Our community
rightfully places great trust in
our school administrators to act
responsibly and appropriately
with our children. This kind of
conduct constitutes a serious
breach of that trust which cannot
be condoned or ignored.”
The Washington Post reported that Engley resigned
from West Potomac last August, having previously been
placed on administrative leave.
He now lives and teaches in
North Carolina.
WORD ON THE STREET
D eals , D rinks and F un across alexandria
By Abigail Jurk
Are you looking for some
fun and entertaining ways to
ring in 2016? If you want to destress after the holidays, here are
a few ideas:
WHAT’S NEW
Street’s Market and Cafe
opened its newest location in
Alexandria a few weeks ago.
Street’s has a unique dynamic
among eateries: it doubles both
as a grocery store and a restaurant. This makes it somewhere
you can stop on your way home
to grab ingredients for dinner or
a place to meet a friend out for
dinner and a drink.
Street’s Market and Cafe also
offers fresh dinners to go for
those who aren’t in the mood
to dine out but also don’t feel
like cooking. Although the
space may seem smaller than
a typical grocery store, the
market features a wide variety
of organic goods. All of the
typical supermarket needs are
available, including a deli section and an assortment of fresh
seafood.
In addition, Street’s also has
a wide assortment of wines and
craft beers available. The cafe
features an extensive sushi menu
in addition to Korean-style fried
chicken, several types of ramen, sandwiches, salads and
more. The restaurant also has a
bar area with a broad selection
of wine and cocktails. Both the
grocery and the cafe
have an intimate neighborhood feel. The cafe
is comfortable and well
lit by a wall of floor-toceiling windows.
The view of the
market from the cafe
also adds to the cozy
ambience.
Street’s
Market and Cafe is
located in Del Ray at
3108 Mount Vernon
Ave. The market opens its
doors daily at 8 a.m. and the
café begins service at 11 a.m.
Both close at 11 p.m.
WHAT’S THE DEAL
If the holidays left you
feeling like you need to bud-
get, Sam Phao Thai Cuisine,
found at 1019 King St. offers a
lunch special, where for $7.95,
guests receive a mixed vegetable soup, a spring roll and an
entree. The entrees are from a
limited menu, which features
standards like Pad Thai, Kapow Chicken and more.
Sam Phao prides
itself on authentic
Thai cuisine made
with organic herbs
and spices. Although
the view from the
street may make the
restaurant look tiny,
there is an entire upstairs level as well.
The atmosphere inside is casual and
friendly. Sam Phao
offers the lunch special Monday
through Friday from 11:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m.
To request a place, event or
special be featured in Word on
the Street, contact Abigail Jurk
at [email protected].

The school board and residents will get their chance to
shape the budget proposal in
the near future, starting with
four work sessions for school
board members beginning
January 21. Public hearings
will follow on January 28
and February 23, with the latter hearing coming after City
Manager Mark Jinks releases
his proposed city budget.
The school board is slated
to approve its combined funds
budget on March 3, with a joint
work session between the board
and city council to follow on
March 9. After the city adopts
its budget on May 5, a public
hearing on the schools' budget
follows on May 10 before three
add/delete sessions. The final

at everything,” said Vice Mayor
Justin Wilson. “Some of it is also
very macro. The way people are
buying and doing shopping is
very different than it used to
be and is going to continue to
change. Our retail districts and
our retailers are going to have to
continue to evolve.”
Although several of the local
store closures are recent occurrences, the discussion over how
best to cultivate small businesses
has been brewing for some time.
In 2014, a city-commissioned task force released
recommendations on ways to
improve the city’s business climate, from streamlining regulations and providing a more
collaborative atmosphere for interactions between city officials
and business owners to phasing
in a reduction in the city’s business, professional and occupational license tax rates.
In the Alexandria Chamber
of Commerce’s 2016 legislative agenda, the group, which
represents the local business
community, advocated for the
implementation of the business
tax reform task force’s recommendations. And candidates on
both sides of the aisle argued
in favor of streamlined regulations and potential tax breaks for
businesses during last year’s city
council election campaign.
Bridal store Hannelore’s at
106 N. Lee St. announced owner
Hannelore Karpinksi would
retire after more than 30 years
in the industry, while a similar
story sealed the fate for Del Ray
eateries Monroe’s and Mancini’s. Mark and Laura Abraham
shuttered Monroe’s on Christmas Eve, while Barbara Mancini closed Mancini’s in early October. A new restaurant, under
new ownership, will open at the
Mancini's site. It will be called
Junction Bakery and Bistro.
Former Mayor Bill Euille
said Mancini’s served as a superb meeting place for many
years, not only to meet with fellow elected officials and business leaders, but also members
of the community.
“Mancini’s was the place
either for breakfast or lunch,”
Euille said. “It was not uncommon for me to be in there meeting with someone and then another city councilor would come
in and meet with someone, a
school board member would
come in, it would just keep going from there.”
Stephanie Landrum, president and CEO of the Alexandria
Economic Development Partnership, said planning for retirement and having a succession
plan in place is key.
“A lot of the businesses in this
wave that are closing are people
who are retiring, and they don’t
have somebody to pass the business down to,” Landrum said.
“That could be an area where potentially we could start talking to

Casa Felipe isn’t your ordinary
Tex-Mex restaurant
From the moment one enters
the comfortable Casa Felipe in
North Old Town, it is clear from
the attractive decor and the lovely
presentation of the entrees that this
isn’t your ordinary Tex-Mex diner.
The menu is extensive and offers
more than the usual tacos, burritos
and quesadillas. Every entree is
made to order rather than prepared
ahead of time and frozen.
Although most of the frequently
ordered dishes at Casa Felipe are
Mexican in origin, like the chili relleno, tamales and chuletas, the barbequed ribs fly out of the kitchen
frequently as well. Soups and salads
are popular too. The sopa de pes-
cado with fish and shrimp is a big
hit and the sopa de pollo con limon
— chicken and vegetable soup — is
also a frequent selection. As for the
salads, they are large and hearty
fare. In addition to mixed greens,
each salad features corn, carrots,
tomatoes, black beans, onions, carrots and mango. The salads can be
topped with veggies, shrimp, beef or
chicken.
Casa Felipe is the sort of spot
where diners feel at ease and right
at home, whether they are eating
alone or in a group. Adults love the
diversity of the menu, the fabulous
sauces and the reasonable prices.
Meanwhile, children like the kids’
menu, and many younger Alexandrians are enthusiastic repeat
customers. The younger set’s food
selections include quesadillas as
well as a child-sized burrito. There
is no spicy tomato sauce with the
children’s burrito. There is also a
non-spicy enchilada and the everpopular chicken tenders with fries.
Visit Casa Felipe soon and discover firsthand why North Old
Town’s only Mexican restaurant
has a loyal following both for dining in and carrying out. An enchilada or quesadilla may be just the
thing you need to warm up as the
thermometer plummets with the
coming frigid winter weather.
Casa Felipe is located at 835 N. Royal St. and is
open 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday, 5
to 9 p.m. Sundays. Call 703-535-7868 for more information or to order take-out or delivery.

beat its local rival 55-49.
will keep me going and playing hard all the time.”
Lewis scored 8 points in
the fourth quarter alone as
the Saints pushed hard to get
ahead, including the go-ahead
two-point bucket that made the
score 41-40 in favor of the hosts,
who would never trail again.
After the game, his teammates
were delighted to see such a big
contribution from one of their
bench players.
“If Myles didn’t play the
way he did, I don’t think we’d
have won this game,” said
junior guard Denmark Slay.
“It wasn’t just him. Harrison
Bluestein came in in the first
half and provided some good
minutes for us, hustling and
doing what he always does. But
without Myles, we wouldn’t
have won this game. I’ve got to
go and buy him a milkshake or
something after the game.”
Ginyard said he used those
one-on-one conversations with
Lewis in the days leading up
to the Episcopal game to encourage him to make use of his
physical attributes.
“I keep trying to explain to
him that when he plays with a
high motor because of his athleticism, because of his ability
to lead a play defensively, he
can really have a major impact
on the game and he can do it
without putting the ball in the
basket,” Ginyard said. “It’s hard
to get a young basketball player
to understand the level of impact
you can have on the game without scoring, and hopefully after
today, he and everyone else has
a full understanding of what that
can look like.”
The game was highly anticipated, given the two schools’
geographic proximity and the
strides both have made already
in the Interscholastic Athletic
Conference’s regular season.
Coming in, the visiting Maroon was riding a five-game
winning streak, while the
Saints had won four straight.
Both also were highly ranked
in the first weekly Virginia
Independent Schools Athletic
Association poll, which eventually will decide the pairings
in the state tournament.
Amid a gym filled with supporters of both sides for a game
dedicated to celebrating the work
of the military after the Saints’
visit to the Walter Reed National
Military Medical Center earlier that week, it was the visiting
Episcopal that started strongest.
The away side raced to a 27-22
lead at halftime by making use
of a strong transition game and
freeing guards Nick Reed and
George Mawanda-Kalema for
several open shots. Reed and
Mawanda-Kalema finished with

ALEXANDRIA TIMES
SCENE AROUND TOWN
A jaunt through mischief and murder
‘A Gentleman’s Guide’ at
the Kennedy Center is a hit
By Jordan Wright
Having enjoyed the four-time
Tony Award-winning musical
“A Gentleman’s Guide to Love
and Murder” on Broadway last
month, I can firmly attest it has
found a national touring company cast to do it justice. Author
and lyricist Robert L. Freedman
and composer and lyricist Steven Lutvak can rest assured that
not a beat, line, dance step, joke
or note will fail to delight.
Here’s what to expect when
you go, and you must, to be all
the more prepared to sop it up.
On your list of expectations
should be dreamy love songs, a
sinister Edward Gorey-like ambiance, delicious gallows humor,
Fred Astaire-inspired dancing
and droll Edwardian characters.
Rest assured, there will be murder most foul and romance most
delectably forbidden. All the elements of a ripping good show.
In the musical, we find handsome bachelor Montague Navarro (Kevin Massey), penniless
and orphaned, bereft of employment prospects and in love with
Sibella (Kristen Beth Williams),
a strikingly gorgeous fortune
hunter, who, though smitten
with Monty, has her sights set on
a wealthy scion.
Still mourning the loss of his
mother, Monty is visited in his
shabby garret by Miss Shingle
(Mary VanArsdel), a spinster
who knew her well. The old lady
tells Monty that his mother was
disinherited by her family, the
D’Ysquiths, for marrying beneath her station and that he is
eighth in line for the title of Earl
of D’Ysquith, replete with the
vast estates of Highhurst Castle.
Devising a plan to jump the
line of succession by whatever
means necessary, our charming
hero uses his wits — and some
intricate plotting — to knock
off the eccentric lords and ladies
that precede him. “What can I
take from the D’Ysquiths except
their lives,” he merrily posits.
Commencing his fact-finding journey by touring Highhurst on Visitor’s Day, he runs
into Lord Adelbert, who, in full
hunting regalia, trills a snooty
tune entitled, “I Don’t Understand the Poor.” Twenty-two
numbers accompany Monty’s
murderous plots while you find
yourself cheering on his diabolical schemes.
John Rapson, plays all eight
D’Ysquith cousins, both male
and female roles, ranging from
the sputtering, apoplectic Lord
Reverend and Lady Hyacinth,
who has a monopoly on the
downtrodden, to the gay athlete, Henry, whom he humors
in “Better with a Man.” As
Monty continues to ingratiate himself with the others,
he meets and falls in love with
his cousin Phoebe (Adrienne
Eller), the embodiment of the
perfect Victorian lady.
That lepers in the punjab and
cannibals figure into the plot is
all part of the fun, though the
Gothic chorus reminds us that,
“suddenly they’re congregating
under the sod.”
Amid all the lethal high

At Home
Filling the generational pad
By Mary G. Pepitone
PHOTO/LUCY CALL
Three generations of the McConkie family live in this new-construction home in Millcreek, Utah. There are
two distinct entrances to this house: one for the grandparents’ and one for the parents’ portion of the home.
Forget going over the river and through the woods to
Grandmother’s house — for
some families, it’s as easy
as traveling over the foyer
and through the rooms. An
intergenerational living arrangement may not be for
everyone, but some families
are living with the benefits
of built-in babysitters and the
ability to age in place surrounded by loved ones.
The American Community Survey (ACS) defines multigenerational households as
families with three or more
generations living under the
same roof. Data from a 20092011 survey conducted by
ACS reports that 4.3 million
households are multigenera-
tional, or 5.6 percent of the
total of 76.4 million family
households surveyed.
“Throughout history, a family living together multigenerationally was the norm,” says
Stephen Melman, a National
Association of Home Builders
spokesperson, based in Washington, D.C. “Single family
homes are a fairly recent construct from the mid-20th century, when people started to become more mobile, leave home
and settle somewhere else, far
from extended family.”
But Melman says — especially with trying financial
times due to the recession
starting in 2008 — there was
a rise in extended families

HOME OF THE WEEK
Beautifully updated home in a prime location
This Quaker Village home
has the traditional appearance
of an Alexandria townhouse,
but the gorgeous features and
finishes inside will show you
just how unique it is.
When you reach the top
stair to the main level, you’re
immediately struck by the
warm wood floors and open
space of the living and dining rooms. Spanning the entire width of the home, it will
accommodate many different
furniture styles or arrange-
ments. Dinner guests will
love the view of the gas fireplace from the dining room.
The showstopper kitchen
was created with a chef’s talents and need for functional
space in mind. The oversized
windows, frameless custom
cabinets, Italian tile backsplash and high-end appliances prove that this room has
both beauty and brains.
The master suite has similar style, with premium fixtures in the spa-like bath and
noise-reducing glass installed
in the bedroom window for
sound sleeping.
Because of this home’s
comfortable style, telecommuting is always an ideal
option. For a midday break,
relax on the patio and many
restaurants and shops are just
a few blocks away.
If you must go to the office,
major commuting routes I-395
and I-495 are nearby. The Metrobus stops in front of the
community on Duke Street.

mother was alive, she would

Aimee would get a break and
it was my mother’s delight to

Hammond says the McConkie family is progressive in
that they choose to live multigenerationally together and
built a home to accommodate
their lifestyle. Other families
might be forced to do so, due
to financial or health reasons,
but the need to honor each
other’s space is paramount. “If

again out of necessity. “What
research shows is that people
could retrofit existing homes
to make a suite or what’s called
a mother-in-law apartment
to accommodate other family members,” he says. “You
know this ancient concept of
multigenerational living is
becoming a modern concept
when builders start constructing homes with this intent.”
Meet the McConkie family, who started living as four
generations — ages 1 to 91
— under one roof in October
2011, in their newly constructed 9,500 square-foot home in
Millcreek, Utah.
Architect Jack Hammond,
one of the principals at Architectural Nexus in Salt Lake City,
designed the six-bedroom, fivebathroom house to share a common area in the middle where
family members can freely
meet. Three generations currently live in the home: The elder generation and grandparents
are Jim and Judi McConkie; the
middle generation is son Bryant
and his wife, Aimee McConkie;
and the youngest generation is
comprised of four girls. Jim’s
mother, Gwendolyn Wirthlin
McConkie Cannon, lived in a
garden apartment on the elder’s
side of the home until her passing
in 2013. Jim and Judi’s daughter,
Kelly McConkie Stewart, lives
in a separate home next door
with her husband, Brian, and
their four children.
Affectionately called the
“McCompound,” credit for the
new multigenerational home
construction goes to daughterin-law Aimee, says Jim McConkie. “None of this would
have happened, had Aimee not
pushed for it,” he says. “We call
this our happy experiment: The
space has a wonderful synergism and we are all closely connected, and we wouldn’t have it
any other way.”
Hammond says a home
with many generations only
erational housing setup, the
same rules still apply,” he says.
“You need to carve out a place
for privacy and a common area
open to family members.”
The final stage of the McConkie home construction
will be the addition of a pool
in the back of the home — extending the common indoor
spaces to the outside.
“There’s so much learning that takes place between
the generations — Judi and
I may be able to impart some
wisdom, but the kids certainly
keep us young,” Jim McConkie says. “We feel blessed to
be able to be part of such a loving family, as we support each
other in every way possible.”

The common area of the home has semitransparent arts-and-craftstyle doors that, when opened, are a welcome sign of socialization between generations. It also has plenty of space for family and

works if people respect each
other’s privacy. “When designing this house, I made it
so there are two distinct entrances: one for the grandparents’ and one for the parents’
portion of the home,” he says.
“Bedrooms and bathrooms
are on opposite ends of the
house to afford each family
the greatest privacy.”
Connecting the separate
living spaces on either side
of the home is a common area
in the middle, which can be
opened or closed off to each
family’s side of the house,
based on the use of semitransparent glass arts-andcraft-style doors.
“The common space has
a large media room on the
lower level, and, above that,
a library and space to host
large dinners and recitals,”
Hammond says. “Flanked by
kitchens on either side, the
common area is prime for entertaining and socialization.”
The shared space between
homes also has a common
laundry and storage spaces
throughout the lower level.
Hammond was mindful of
creating a home with universal
design, where family members are able to age in place.
“Simple things like making
doorways wider to accommodate wheelchairs and one-level
living with ramps leading into
the home provide the greatest
accessibility,” he says. “Grab
bars and roll-in, barrier-free
showers are accommodations that are easily made in
the bathroom, while a stairclimbing chair makes navigating multiple levels of the house
easier.”
But it’s the interaction between generations that makes
this house a home, Jim McConkie says. “The kids go back

Our View
More must be done to stop
small
business flight
It is distressing to see so many iconic Alexandria small businesses closing shop all at once. First it was Mancini’s, then Monroe’s, Bradlee Shoe Repair, Hannelore’s of Olde Town, Decorium
and Why Not? all followed suit. Like the spate of celebrity deaths
since the New Year, it begs the question: “Who or what is next?”
Each business owner had their own reason for shutting down —
retirement, difficulty competing against the Internet, rising rents,
etc. — but they all had the common refrain of closing rather than
selling their establishments. The loss to Alexandria is both personal
and also part of an upsetting longer-term trend.
People take comfort in what is familiar, including frequenting the
same establishments over time. Each of the six businesses listed above
had functioned in Alexandria for many years — Decorium, which
opened 15 years ago, was the newcomer of the bunch, while Why Not?
clothed several generations of Alexandria children in its 50 years of
operation. Collectively, their closings are a huge loss for the city.
The bigger trend is also disturbing. According to the Business
Tax Reform Task Force report that was issued in early 2014, the
downturn in Alexandria’s private sector performance predates the
recession that began in December 2007 and exceeds that of neighboring Arlington. For instance, private sector wages in Alexandria
between 2007 and 2012 fell 7 percent, compared to a 1 percent drop
regionally and a 7 percent increase in Arlington County.
More recently, gross sales receipts in Old Town decreased
from fiscal years 2013 to 2014 — several years into the economic
recovery — by 5.5 percent, even though the number of businesses
stayed the same, according to data provided to the Old Town Area
Parking Study work group. That data, coupled with the increasing
disparity in Alexandria between residential property tax receipts
and business tax receipts — the current split is about 70 percent
residential property to 30 percent business tax revenues — paints
a less than rosy economic picture for our city.
Happily, the news is not all bad for Alexandria businesses. There
are terrific resources in the city available to help city businesses, and
we think there are additional, concrete steps the city can take.
Alexandria has a wonderful resource for local businesses in
the Small Business Development Center, which helps with everything from finding a location to guiding entrepreneurs in assembling financial documents. There’s a city marketing fund, which
provides grants to small businesses, and a well-run “Extraordinary Alexandria” marketing campaign by Visit Alexandria that
helps lure tourists to the Port City.
But these resources aren’t enough, and they’re not being optimally publicized. We think the SBDC needs to be better marketed
within the city to existing businesses, and also outside the city as a
tool to recruit companies to relocate to Alexandria.
In addition, we think the Business Tax Reform Task Force report needs to be pulled out, dusted off and implemented. While
it may seem counterintuitive to some given that Alexandria needs
to increase business tax revenue, we agree with the report’s key
recommendation — that the city’s rates for business gross receipt
taxes, commonly called BPOL — need to be lowered below that of
neighboring Arlington in order to better compete.
Alexandrians have been focused too exclusively in recent years
on waterfront redevelopment and attempts to attract government
agencies like the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration. What is needed is an approach
that helps all city businesses, large and small, new and old, operate
with fewer encumbrances and a lower tax rate.

We need a stronger vision for
Patrick Henry Elementary
To the editor:
The Patrick Henry Elementary School and Recreation Center project time
clock has begun in earnest.
The architect soon will be
selected. The community advisory committee has been
formed. Neighborhood traffic
studies have been completed.
But something very fundamental to the process of creating a new school has been
missed completely. I speak of
the school’s vision as an integral part of the Alexandria
City Public Schools system,
and as a unique educational setting in its West End
neighborhood.
When planning a major educational project, it
makes sense to start with
a discussion about educational values, unique com-
munity contexts and hopes
and dreams for students and
staff. A distillation of those
ideas creates the vision, and
drives — or should drive —
the eventual selection of an
architect, since form follows
function.
Yet while there were
community
discussions
and school board meetings,
they focused on the physical condition of the school,
overcrowding issues on the
West End, whether or not
to have swing space during
construction, project timelines, traffic issues and an
audacious attempt by some
officials to put an oversized
and over budget recreation
center on the property.
These were all needed and
important discussions, but
they occurred in a vision
vacuum, and resulted in a
less than robust feasibility
study that pleased no one.
An educational vision
emerges from the school’s
leadership and wider community, is a reflection of
the school system’s culture
and way of working, and
provides a unity of purpose
that excites and energizes
all the stakeholders — it’s
synergistic and futureoriented. It gives meaning
and an arc of purpose to
children and teachers, and
acts as a powerful draw
for the wider surrounding
community to be engaged
and involved with the
school. It makes you want
to be in that building.

State ethics rules are not enough
To the editor:
Virginia’s state ethics
requirements are extremely
lax — almost non-existent
in fact.
Former Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) was tried and convicted on corruption charges
in a federal court. Under state
law, he had done nothing il-
legal. Gov. Terry McAuliffe
(D) has an initiative to improve our state ethics rules,
which is commendable. His
challenge will be the General
Assembly, which usually resists his proposals.
A member of the board
who is an attorney has already done some research
and found that at least one
Virginia jurisdiction has an
ethics commission. We are
now a dense urban community and one-size-fits-all state
rules, even if improved from
the current feeble standards,
are not sufficient for us.
- Katy Cannady
Alexandria
More transparency in city
government is commendable
To the editor:
Mayor Allison Silberberg’s proposal to improve
the way Alexandria addresses city government
ethics has merit. It deserves
support from city council to
match the importance voters
attached to it in the recent
mayoral campaign. Some
tried to write it off as a way
to gain political advantage in
a tough campaign. The fact
remains that Silberberg was
only showing strong leadership, as she recognized a
deep concern of the voters.
Her belief is primarily
that public decisions must
be made as much as possible in the light of day, so
the people that local government serves have full
confidence that decisions
are made with no unseen —
or unaccountable — outside
influence. As the reformer
Louis D. Brandeis wrote in
the December 20, 1913 edition of Harper’s Weekly:
“Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases.
Sunlight is said to be the
best of disinfectants.”
Our new mayor’s interest
in transparency puts her in
a long line of reform advo-
cates. Her concern is not that
local processes are terrible
and should be revamped.
Rather, governmental openness always should be encouraged and — whenever
possible — strengthened.
Silberberg’s proposal to
study and recommend improvements can accomplish
that. She continued the sunlight metaphor herself in her
remarks at the city council
installation ceremony.
I look forward to seeing
earnest, practical results
from this study.

Patrick Henry
but it does reflect the context of the West End and is
a well-established approach
to teaching and learning.
Other schools in the area,
notably Campbell Elementary School in Arlington,
pursue this approach, so
there is a wealth of existing
resources available.
While Patrick Henry
does have a planned educational structure in serving
pre-K to eighth grade, a set
of best practice architectural guidelines and a set
of performance expectations for the school, these
don’t constitute a vision.
I’m afraid that without one,
especially one as exciting
as expeditionary learning,
ACPS’s efforts to redistrict
school attendance zones and
secure needed capital funds
will fall short.
The need for space may
be pressing, and the opportunity to give a small number
of families a middle school
choice may be well intentioned, but neither constitutes
a vision for our children that
can light a fire of enthusiastic
support from all corners.
I strongly urge the school
leadership, the new school
board, the superintendent, and
the community advisory committee to open up time and
space for this dialogue. We
can aim for higher ground.

T
he handsome federal-style building
located at 700 Duke
St. was built as the private
residence of Jonathan Janney in 1820, a descendant of
an early Alexandria family
whose name still features
prominently in the
city. Janney, a local
importer and hardware merchant, also
dabbled in local real
estate speculation in
the early 19th century, allowing him to
increase his fortune
and build a refined
home on what was
then the outskirts
of town just west of
Washington Street,
the widest street
planned for the city
when it was laid out
in 1749.
The two-and-a halfstory brick house is notable for its turned iron
entry steps and balustrade, the rooftop “Widows Walk,” which offered
fine views of the Potomac
River to the east, and the
high point of Shuter’s Hill
to the west. The house
was built in a symmetrical
“half-house “design, with
windows, dormers, and
the two interior end chimneys carefully aligned.
This layout allowed for
a future addition to the
west, which, if needed,
would have provided a
perfect balance of architectural symmetry to the
and a recessed, flat roofed
addition with taller arched
windows was chosen.
In the mid-1830s Janney became seriously ill
verted into a guest house
for overnight lodgers called
“The Cornwall Arms.” A
rear basement, accessed further south on Washington
with a terminal disease,
and he was cared for at the
house for several years until he death. His will, prepared in March 1838, specified that upon his demise,
all his real estate holdings
were to be sold, with any
remaining balance provided to his wife.
But he sadly opined
that he was filled with
“great fear that there will
be nothing as my losses
and expenses arising in
part from my long confinement from disease
have been heavy.” He died
soon after and in 1839,
true to his instructions,
the house and his other
properties were sold.
Street under a striped awning was further converted
into commercial retail space
for a maternity store called
“Kay’s Stork Shop.”
A decade later, the
structure received a major exterior restoration
and was converted into a
bank. The building is still
one of Alexandria’s best
examples of the adaptive
reuse of an historic structure, and is a primary visual asset along the section
of the George Washington
Memorial Parkway that
passes through Old Town.

Haunches writes:
Thank you for a thoughtful editorial that sheds more light than heat,
no pun intended. The former mayor
was comfortable getting into pitched
litigation with citizens. With a new
mayor, this is a good opportunity to
turn the page and search for a suitable location for a stadium that has
citizen support.
The history of this site is embarrassing to the city, and it should not
be glib about ignoring its commitment. Instead of spending hundreds
of thousands — perhaps millions
— of dollars unleashing an army
of lawyers on taxpayers, we would
be better served working to identify a location that could support a
stadium for school and other uses.
Sue Setliff writes:
An alternative location? When will
we value the thousands of students at
T.C. Williams? The few neighbors
have had 51 years to dampen school
community. The time has come for all
students to have a rich and complete
high school experience.
That means band, football, track
and field [at the stadium] with bathrooms and lighting. Good grief, get
behind a better Alexandria and stop
dwelling on the past mistakes that
have diminished us all.
WHO CARES?
WE DO.

Also shuttering due to retirement is Bradlee Shoe Repair, a fixture of the Bradlee
Shopping Center since 1988
owned for many years by Joe
Johnson. Vicki Forness, owner
of nearby B&C Jewelers, said
the departure is huge.
“He knew everybody’s
stuff even though half the time

For Kate Schlabach, owner
of toy and children’s clothing store Why Not?, closure
comes after more than 50
years at 200 King St. Schlabach said that the competition
against online retail has become too difficult.
“I’m not going to fight online anymore,” Schlabach said.
“The last 10 years, the business has gone down each year. I

devoted to helping local small
businesses get started and
grow, said businesses in the city
must adapt to the crowded marketplace, which includes both
online and brick-and-mortar
retailers, and focus on what
makes their stores unique to
customers. Reagan added that
the SBDC has several programs
to help retailers stay competitive, and that location is a big
selling point when it comes to
the overall retail experience.
“[Online shopping] does not
need to be the death knell for
businesses; they can provide additional benefits to the customers,” he said. “Whereas shopping online may be something
that’s convenient and easy to do
from their homes, people like to
get out and touch and they like
the service and the response
from the owner. They need to
understand what’s the value,
what are people looking for
in the products or the services
they’re buying online and offer
better value when people actually come in and better service.”
Also causing problems for
some businesses has been the
rising cost of rent, especially
for Old Town Coffee, Tea and
Spice at 215 S. Union St. With
waterfront redevelopment underway nearby, Poland said his
landlord is asking for too much
each month.
“I can’t make the business
work with the rent that the
landlord wants,” Poland said.
“He thinks that he’s undervaluing the property, I guess, and
he sees the new hotel going
in across the street and thinks
that’s going to make this place
more valuable. I don’t see it that
way. This is not a restaurant operation, and the hotel is not going to be caring one way or the
other about this place.”
Wilson said that while the
city cannot interfere directly
with rising rents, they are using what tools they can to help
small businesses. He cited the
Oakville Triangle small area
plan’s provision for so-called
“maker spaces” as one way
to preserve small businesses
in the city. Both Wilson and
Landrum described increasing rents as a “double-edged
sword,” as it means that the
city is becoming more attractive for business owners.
“There’s always a challenge
about how you want to intervene in those relationships,”
Wilson said. “We’re always
looking at different ways that
we can, not with a heavy hand,
but at least [influence] the marketplace. It has an impact on
us, because if we lose all the
retailers in our central business
districts, it doesn’t matter how
successful the restaurants are,
you want retailers to balance.
It’s always a challenge for us.”
