President's Note
- by Pat Williamson Edwards
By Pat Williamson Edwards
Join us on Thursday evening, April 4, at 7:30 pm at the Community House to celebrate Spring in true Barcroft style with a gardening theme meeting.
Looking forward to sharing ideas, plants, seeds and cuttings with many neighbors.
Bryant Monroe did a terrific job representing Barcroft at the County Board meeting on March 12 when the Concept Plan for the Columbia Pike Revitalization Plan was reviewed. Bryant has spent many years as our CPRO representative and we are very appreciative of his hard work.
The Parking Committee is already accomplishing great things. The tag study is underway. Contact Tom Palance to volunteer to work with this group.
The Demeter House Advisory Committee met on March 19 to review operation of the program here in Barcroft. Please contact Darlene Mickey, coordinator of the Barcroft oversight group, if you would like to attend these meetings.
Arlington County Neighborhood Day will be May 11. Let us know your great ideas for participating in the parade and/or for an event at the Community
House. Looks like our ramp dedication will wait until the Fourth of July. It will be a truly great Barcroft accomplishment to celebrate.
Thanks to Scott Brinitzer, a successful "mulching party" was held on Saturday, March 9. Scott's constant attention to the gardens and grounds
of the Community House are appreciated by all of us everyday.
County Board Approves Columbia Pike Plan
By Bryant Monroe
On Wednesday, March 13 the Arlington County Board approved the Columbia Pike Plan by a vote of 5-0. The meeting, which lasted more than two hours, featured an overview by County staff, public comments and a Board member discussion which echoed support for the massive public outreach effort and the need to focus on the Plan’s vision for a better Columbia Pike. The public comment period included a number of statements by neighborhood groups, including the formal position taken by the BSCL at its February meeting.
The Board made it clear that they were approving a concept level plan for the Pike, and that key steps remained in the Pike planning process. They highlighted the upcoming zoning and land use discussions that will occur in the community, and the need for further work on housing and transportation issues.
This is a very significant milestone that culminates two plus years of outreach and discussions on a vision that affects two and a half miles of the Pike and more than 70000 residents. It signals the business community that the County is prepared to make the necessary commitment changes to encourage investment on the Pike along the lines of the Plan’s vision. A key element of this new era for the Pike will be enhanced economic development tools and a concerted effort by County development staff and the Columbia Pike Redevelopment Organization.
Of particular interest to Barcroft were the comments of Board Member Charles Monroe, who called attention to the intersection of Buchanan and Columbia Pike. He stated that the redesign should be carefully considered by the County so as not to result in increased cut through traffic in Barcroft. It appears that Barcroft can count on his continued efforts to help reduce the cut through problem and support traffic calming measures in our community.

When I Hold The Globe
by Thomas Miller Fontaine, Grade 2
When I hold in my hand the globe
I like to bounce it, yeah!
All around the house!
All around the yard!
And it's just, just super fun!
And when I bounce it, yeah!
I just go up and down!
I go up, up, up and dooown!
When I hold in my hand America
I like to look at me!
And I like to hug myself!
In my other hand is the Indian Ocean!
And next to it I see Australia,
India, and Madagascar.
When I hold in my hands
the North Pole and the South Pole
I think my hands might freeze!
And when I spin it round and round I feel the Earth's windy breeze!

Carlyn Springs Elementary Offers a Bright Look
By Elaine Squeri
Want a lift of the spirit? Have a half hour some Wednesday? Reserve a tour of our new Arlington elementary school with its principal, Chris Sutton, or with Parent Liaison, Chris Burman (228-8407).
We visited and were struck the moment we entered the front door by the light, the color, the spirit . The office is to the right and a warm
welcome followed. There is an international and nature theme throughout making the school a wonderful companion to our own enviable
Barcroft Elementary. The architecture alone is worth the visit not to mention the children's art, the students' personalized tiles decorating the stairway walls, and the colorful clever showcases
within the walls. The first floor represents rivers, beaches, and wetlands by the colors of the floor tiles while the second floor depicts the mountains and clouds. The cafeteria/auditorium is dominated by a glorious half-circle proscenium as if the sun burst right there; the ceiling has acoustic panels in the shape of clouds suspended from what would have been warehouse type ceiling. And the wonderful effects were achieved through very imaginative uses of ordinary building materials, concrete block, laminates, vinyl floor
tiles, ceiling tiles, and well chosen paints.
The current enrollment is 598 (17 new students were recently admitted) and the capacity of the school is 600! There is also a voluntary dress code, initiated by parents, of navy and white (school colors) in collared shirts, slacks, skirts, simple clothing. It's a spirited place and you would be proud to have paid for it!
Is the Traffic Calming Process Working?
Trav Fick is amazed that we have arrived at the point when our Traffic Calming Plan has been submitted to the County AND we are asked to evaluate the Process for getting this far! Your input would be very helpful for future projects in Arlington. And since the NTCC is made up of volunteers from throughout the County, you may want to volunteer to participate! Address your offer to the same email address.
The County Neighborhood Traffic Calming Committee (NTCC) created a process by which residents could ask for help with traffic problems on their streets. Part of that process is the requirement, after two years, to evaluate the process itself! Is it doing what it was intended to do and doing it fairly and objectively?
The NTCC is asking neighborhoods that have participated in Traffic Calming during the three cycles of funding, as well as Arlingtonians in
general, to offer comments BY APRIL 15 to the County Department of Public Works/Office of Traffic Calming: ediggs@co.arlington.va.us.
In general, the NTCC is interested in your opinion of the criteria used for getting help, your evaluation of the types of measures available, and any recommendations to improve the program. Specifically, if you have read the Manual and have considered the Process proposed there, the NTCC wants to know your opinion of: the
criteria used to determine whether a traffic problem exists and how severe it is; the criteria which must be met to qualify for a traffic calming
measure; funding priorities; the process itself; budget requirements; and the support thresholds (e.g. 60% for circles) in the area of impact for various measures.
The Parking Scene
Further Observations
By Steve Miley
I would like to echo Tom Palance's concerns aired in the March issue of Barcroft News concerning non-resident parking issues on 8th Road South (and other roads in Barcroft). Here are some stories for you about what I've dealt with around my place:
One night an obviously drunk driver parked in front of my house, stumbled across the road and urinated in the yard between me and my neighbor's house on the corner.
At least every other day, there is trash on the street or sidewalk in front of my house that I have to clean up.
There are often commercial vehicles parked on 8th Road South (e.g., plumbing van, electrical services van, taxi, etc.)
On an average of 2 to 3 nights per week, I am awakened from a sound sleep to the noise of a discourteous driver parking out front with his car stereo blasting. On a number of occasions, I have had to go outside between 12:00am and 3:00am and ask the people to turn off the music.
On a number of occasions, individuals have sat out front with their car running and have sexual relations in the parked car.
People often sit at their car and conduct maintenance, spill oil on the road, change oil, brakes, etc., and it looks really bad.
I am 110% fed up with it but don't see any obvious solutions. Our neighbors have to park somewhere but I don't know where else folks can go. Yet it also doesn't seem right the way things are now. I should also note that a significant portion of those who park on our street that don't live on the street are courteous and don't cause the sorts of problems I enumerated above.
The worst problem in my view is the loud noise at night. I cannot tell you how many times I have been awakened by the stereos and the cars with improper mufflers, and cars endlessly idling in the otherwise peaceful mornings!
Parking Committee Update
By Thomas Palance
A new parking committee has formed in Barcroft to address the many concerns from our neighbors. The committee has met twice and discussed topics such as parking by non-street residents in front of driveways, commercial vehicles blocking views to oncoming traffic, loud noise from late night parking, trash thrown on streets and in front of residents’ homes. We have also pinpointed intersections that are dangerous due to cars blocking views and large commercial vehicles parked on George Mason which impede U-turns. Many neighbors have sent e-mail describing their frustration.
So far the committee has been collecting data such as tag numbers of the many cars and trucks on the streets. The Arlington police have agreed to check the tags and determine where the vehicles are coming from. We are also checking to see what kind of shortfall, if any, of parking spaces exists in the various apartment complexes in the neighborhood. The shortage of spaces in the Barcroft School is also being reviewed.
We have collected letters from neighbors expressing frustration. All of this information will help us try to find solutions and build a case so that we may appeal to the county and other civic associations for help.
Progress to date includes a completed tag survey sent to the police, and some signs have been moved to create safer views. More will be added, depending on the impact of parking. Information on parking spaces vs. apartment residents has been collected for evaluation. A Barcroft-wide survey will be distributed to get your input and feedback.
At the next BSCL monthly meeting we would like to give an update on our progress and address questions from the membership. We will be inviting The Arlington police and a representative from traffic engineering.
This is a complex and frustrating situation and will take time to resolve. We all need to be patient and proactive. If you see a car blocking a driveway, illegally parked or you are disturbed by late night noise, notice a car idling in front of your house for a long period of time call the non-emergency police line at 703-558-2222. You can remain anonymous. The more we call the better; Folks causing these problems need to know we are not going to sit by and take it.
Please continue to send your comments about your personal experiences relating to this issue to tom@bscl.org. Thanks.

Eating Ethiopian
By Mark Wigfield
The Washington metro area is now home to some 65,000 people of Ethiopian descent. A lot of them must live around here, judging by the roughly half-dozen Ethiopian restaurants nearby. We decided to try one when we didn’t have time to hassle with Adams Morgan. We also queried bsclchat, Barcroft’s e-mail chat list, to see what other people had tried. Here are the results:
Skyline Café, 3821-A S. George Mason Drive. This is where the Wigfield-Gorka family took the plunge. It was great! We ordered two combo platters for two (one veggie, one meat), which was more than our party of five could eat. Total bill: $43, including beer and tip. Just as good as and slightly spicier than a highly rated spot Adams Morgan spot, Meskerem. Collin felt the injera -- the spongy pancake used to scoop up the stews, meats and vegetables -- was inferior to Meskerem’s. Skyline’s small dining room was OK: small tables, African art on the walls, Ethiopian and Middle-Eastern clientele. Friendly staff. We’ll be back. (Note -- we chose it over Fasilides, which is right next door. Fasildes was nearly empty, while Skyline was full).
Meaza Ethiopian Restaurant, 5440-42 Columbia Pike. The Kerr family reports not being impressed. They ate there when the place first opened. The Michaelsons found the service sub-par and the food so-so. Tough crowd.
Lalibela Ethiopian Restaurant, 1621 S. Walter Reed Drive. The Kerrs said it was OK -- but not worth a return trip. But Ethiopian enthusiast Carol Hunter said the food is fresh and good. Parking is ample, and don’t let the outside scare you: the dining room looks a lot better. Jay Wind of Arlington Heights also likes it, as does Tom Greenfield of Penrose, who praised its low prices and music. He searched out the CD the next day at the Asni Grocer, an Ethiopian market on S. Edgewood near the Ski Chalet.
Demera Ethiopian Restaurant, 2325 S. Eads St., Crystal City. The Hunters like this place and so does the Washington Post. It was smoky and the TV was too loud when we ate there several years ago.
Not reviewed: Dama, at 1503 Columbia Pike. Check it out, then go to bscl.org to sign up for our e-mail list and send your review!

It’s Spring, and Time to Clean Up Around Here
By David Kyle
Household Hazardous Waste is: hazardous chemicals that should not be thrown out with your regular trash, as they might spill or leak out of the trash trucks. Arlington Residents can bring household hazardous waste, such as paint or pesticides, to the disposal facility for safe disposal. The HHW drop-off facility is located on the grounds of the Water Pollution Control Plant at 3402 S. Glebe Rd. Typical materials to bring to the HHW facility include:
- home, lawn and garden chemicals
- automotive fuel and windshield wiper fluid
- antifreeze
- brake fluid and?transmission fluid
- gas additives
- gear oil and most car care products
- flammable cleaning solvents such as kerosene, turpentine, floor strippers, spot removers, etc.
- lamp and heating oil
- corrosives such as muriatic acid, and oven or drain cleaners with lye
- swimming pool additives
- photo chemicals
- thermostats containing mercury
- oil and latex paint, varnish, stains, polyurethane
The HHW facility does not accept:
- asbestos products
- building or construction debris
- tires
- furniture or appliances
- scrap metal
- propane or other flammable gas cylinders
- broken glass
- fluorescent tubes
- ammunition or explosives
- prescription medications
- radioactive material
- medical wastes
- smoke detectors
The Arlington Solid Waste Division will pick up:
- Scrap metal (appliances, bicycles, cabinets) For each object weighing more than 50 pounds and too large for the refuse cart, a $20 fee for the first item (and $10 for each additional item per collection day) will be added to your quarterly Utility Bill.
- Miscellaneous items, such as furniture, bulky items, or car batteries, are collected by hand at curbside; therefore, these items must be properly prepared for collection. Items other than furniture, bulky items, or car batteries must be placed at the curb in containers, bundles or bags not exceeding 50 pounds in weight. Bundles should not exceed four feet in length.
- Latex Paint: Latex paint may be solidified at home by adding cat litter to the open latex paint cans. Stir in enough cat litter to achieve a very thick past, then place the latex paint cans at the curb for collection by the normal trash pickup.
- Motor Oil Recycling and Drop-Off Locations: Motor oil should be brought to a participating automotive station (a list is available on the web site www.co.arlington.va.us/des).
- Household Batteries: Household batteries should be disposed of along with regular trash. Rechargeable batteries, as well as lithium, silver-oxide, and mercury batteries should be deposited in special collection boxes located at most Arlington County Fire Stations or brought to the HHW drop-off site.
Arlington’s household hazardous waste (HHW) facility is for disposal of household hazardous wastes generated by Arlington residents. The HHW drop-off facility is located on the grounds of the Water Pollution Control Plant at 3402 S. Glebe Rd.
Weekday hours of operation are by appointment only. Call (703) 228-6832 during business hours to schedule an appointment. On weekdays, citizens with appointments should report to the HHW office which is located in room 107 of the Operations Control Building. HHW materials for disposal should not be brought into the HHW office. Weekend business hours are from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturdays. A scheduled appointment is not required to drop-off materials during weekend business hours. However, citizens are encouraged to confirm acceptability of their HHW materials before arrival at the facility. On Saturdays, citizens should proceed directly to the HHW storage sheds and check-in with the HHW chemist. Please contact the HHW chemist at (703) 228-6832 for guidance on proper disposal of household hazardous wastes and to schedule a weekday drop-off appointment for your materials.
