Good morning, Arlington. Here's your local news at a glance for Saturday, the 10th of May.
COMMUNITY NEWS
- ➤ Arlington Pride lost many sponsors for its events at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City as support fell from 50 last year to only two this year, said organizer Lindsey Hinton. Hinton said the drop may be due to national cuts in corporate diversity funding and local political concerns—factors that have made sponsors pull back. ARLnow
- ➤ Arlington officials and descendants of the first Black volunteer firefighters gathered on April 26 for the opening of the new Fire Station 8, honoring over 100 years of local heritage in public safety. The event included a fire hose uncoupling (used as a ribbon cutting) and plaque presentations to lifelong heroes while introducing the modern 20,000 square foot facility that will serve today’s needs. The Arlington Connection
- ➤ A new youth restorative justice program in Arlington started in August and has seen over 70 young people participate in diversion efforts for non-violent offenses like larcenies, assaults and trespassing—while leaders say the program still faces challenges in addressing the complex needs of its participants. The initiative, run by the Center for Youth and Family Advocacy in partnership with the police, schools and courts, aims to build trust and offer holistic support to youth aged 10 to 19. ARLnow

ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ Local water officials said that D.C. and Arlington lack a backup water supply if the Potomac River is contaminated, leaving them very vulnerable. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is doing a three-year study costing three million dollars to find ways to improve the system — a challenge that grows as neighboring areas use old quarry reservoirs — and further plans may be needed.
