Piero’s Corner Italian Restaurantwill host a Best Buddies fund-raiser Sunday, Sept. 16, at 5 p.m.for its busboy, Eric Latcheran of

Chantilly, and his friend Ryan Gutkowski ofClifton. The restaurant is at 9959 Main St.in Fairfax.

Eric, 25, and Ryan, 24, have intellectualdisabilities and are raising money so theymay participate in the fun run at the an-nual Best Buddies Challenge, Oct. 20, inWashington, D.C.

They’re co-hosting the Fairfax event withtheir moms, Gina Latcheran and Mary JaneGutkowski, at the invitation of therestaurant’s owner, Gian Piero Mazi, and itsmanager, Benny Geruardi. On Sept. 16,Piero’s will donate a percentage of its foodproceeds that night toward the cause.

Every year since 2007, when they met,Mazi has supported Eric and his advocacyfor Best Buddies Virginia.

This year, their friend Bob Smith, formerWhite House pianist, will perform during

the event on the baby grand, accompaniedby both professional and aspiring singers.

“Eric is so proud of his job at Piero’s andhis friendship with Gian,” said Gina

Latcheran. “Best Buddies is all about mak-ing local residents more aware and in-volved, as well as visible supporters in thelives of all the intellectually challenged in-

dividuals of all ages active in their commu-nity.”

Best Buddies brings people with intellec-tual disabilities together with peer buddiesin friendships that, one by one, are creat-ing opportunities in schools — and, postgraduation, in the community and work-place.

Eric and Ryan have been friends sincethey met in special-ed preschool at PoplarTree Elementary in the early 1990s. Today,they still live 10 minutes from each other,are still friends and have been advocatesfor Best Buddies Virginia since their high-school days.

“Gina and I couldn’t be prouder of them,and we credit Best Buddies Virginia withenriching their lives,” said Latcheran.“Whether at GMU where Ryan’s an internin The Mason Life Program, or at Piero’sCorner restaurants in Fairfax and Herndonwhere Eric works, Best Buddies has openeddoors and created lasting friendships forboth of them and their mothers.”

Hoping for a good turnout for the Sept.16 fund-raiser, Latcheran said, “Great food,great wine, great music and great friendswill make it a memorable, Best Buddiesevening.”

To participate, diners just have to men-tion Best Buddies. Reservations are sug-gested; call 703-246-6097.

Opinion

It’s a key question that must be answeredby Oct. 15 in order to vote in this Presi-dential election: Are you registered tovote at your current address? An-

swering that question early, and vot-ing early, will help ensure that yourvote is counted and will contribute toa more orderly Election Day.

Check your registration status online atwww.sbe.virginia.gov.

Voter turnout will be high, and unknownchallenges from natural phenomena like earth-quake or derecho lurk on Election Day. A sig-nificant percentage of the more than 700,000registered voters in Fairfax County, more than155,000 in Arlington and more than 140,000in Alexandria will turn out to vote on Nov. 6.Four years ago in 2008, a record number ofvoters turned out at the polls, nearly 75 per-cent of registered voters across the Common-wealth.

If you can wrap your brain around the con-cept of voting “absentee in-person,” you canvote starting Sept. 21.

BACK TO SCHOOL CIVICS LESSONIf there are high school students in your

household who will be 18 by Election Day,encourage them to register and vote.Any person who is 17 years old and willbe 18 years of age at the next generalelection shall be permitted to register

in advance, according to the State Board ofElections. Parents should help their childrensee voting as a right and a responsibility, notsomething to be left to others. I’ve heard nu-merous voting age high school and college stu-dents express doubts about voting, mostlybased on lack of confidence.

While college students are already away atcollege, they should also confirm their voterregistration and vote absentee. If they will beat home anytime between Sept. 21 and Nov.3, they can vote “absentee in person,” and oth-erwise they can mail or fax a request for anabsentee ballot and then mail or fax the ballotitself.

On most days, Springfield-based retiree 69-year-oldMary Sue Garner can befound lifting weights in a fit-

ness center, power walking on a treadmillor breathing in fresh air during a stroll onone of Northern Virginia’s nature trails.

“When I was teaching I was in this rut …but when I retired, I decided to makechanges and get myself fit,” said Garner,who spent 45 years as a ninth-grade alge-bra and geometry teacher in Alexandria’spublic schools, including T.C. Williams HighSchool.

As part of her self-reinvention, she fillsher days with exercise, knitting, crochetingand volunteer work. She also tutors theFairfax County high school students whowork as servers in the dining room of herretirement community.

“I’ve made a lot of friends and I socializewith them,” said Garner, who lives atGreenspring. “I feel so strongly that as youget older you get slower, so you have to keepmoving.”

Gerontology experts agree, and are us-ing September, National Healthy AgingMonth, as an opportunity to offer agingadults ideas for living healthy lives as long

as possible.“Paying careful attention to the combina-

tion of physical, social, mental and finan-cial fitness is powerful in the pursuit of apositive lifestyle, especially as we age,” saidCarolyn Worthington, executive director ofHealthy Aging, a national health initiativeto raise awareness about the positive as-pects of growing older. “Take stock of whereyou’ve been, what you really would like todo. We’re encouraging people to find a newpassion … and to know that it’s not too lateto take control of your health [or] getstarted on something new.”

WHILE EXERCISE WON’T LEAD to eter-nal life, staying active can keep age-induceddeterioration at bay. “Research shows that

physical activity can positively affect bloodflow and oxygen to the brain, thereby im-proving mental clarity [and] the part of thebrain responsible for learning and memory,”emailed Dominique Banville, Ph.D., direc-tor of George Mason University’s Divisionof Health and Human Performance.

Banville credits exercise with boostinginformation-processing skills, andWorthington adds that older adults whoexercise regularly are 60 percent less likelyto get dementia.

“In our society, most older adults continueto be underactive. They aren’t stretchingthemselves to the level that could actuallyimprove their functioning,” said Rita Wong,Ed.D., chair of the Department of Physical

Wellbeing

Living Long, Living Healthy Experts offer advice forstaving off health deterioration.

There’s No Place Like HomeAndrew Carle of George Mason University’s Se-

nior Housing Administration Program says thereare three primary factors to consider when decid-ing whether to age in place or move into aretirement community or nursing home:

Safety“Families and seniors need to assess the overall

physical and cognitive needs they are confronting.The average 75-plus-year-old takes anywhere fromseven to 12 medications. Half of those over the ageof 85 fall each year. Physical limitations make cook-ing, cleaning and driving difficult.”

Loneliness“Rates of depression in the rest of society are 10

percent, but for those 65-plus, it can be 25-50 per-cent.

Suicide rates of those 85-plus and living at homeare double that of teenagers. The causes of depres-sion in seniors can be both environmental andphysical (chemical imbalances).”

Affordability“Satisfaction rates for those living in assisted liv-

ing communities are very high, upwards of 90percent, but it is a mostly private pay industry.”

Mary Sue Garner, of Greenspringretirement community in Spring-field, volunteers, spends time withfriends and exercises regularly.Experts say physical activity canimprove mental clarity by increas-ing blood flow and oxygen to thebrain.

He and Principal Carol Larsen haveknown each other since elementary schooland were in Honors Band together as stu-dents at Rocky Run Middle School, ChantillyHigh and JMU. So, said Schnepper, “She’sa real big supporter of the arts, which is abonus for me.”

Besides that, he said, Larsen plays herflute with the school band at the end-of-the-year concert, “which is special for thestudents to see their principal playing aninstrument.”

As for the beginning of school, Schneppersaid it’s always exciting. “There’s a buzz inthe air and an excitement to get the bandprogram started,” he said. “The teachers arewarm and nice, and it’s a fantastic environ-ment to be in.”

Deer Park office assistants Cathy Robersonand Cathy McCormick agree. “I enjoy thestaff, kids and parents,” said McCormick.“It’s never the same day twice.” AddedRobertson, last Wednesday: “We’re ready forthe students and excited for the school yearto begin.”

Back-to-school nights at Deer Park areThursday, Sept. 20, at 7:30 p.m., for gradesK-3, and Thursday, Sept. 27, at 7:30 p.m.,for grades 4-6.

STONE MIDDLEStarting her fourth year at Stone Middle

School is Charlotte Chrostowski, whoteaches eighth-grade math — pre-algebraand honors geometry. “I relaxed enoughduring the summer that I’m ready to comeback,” she said. “I like getting to know thenew students and showing them they cando math, even though in the past, theydidn’t think they could.”

Liz Deal has been at Stone since it opened,so she’s now beginning her 22nd year there.She’s always taught seventh-grade history,but this year is her first teaching eighth-grade civics. “A teacher had retired, so therewas an opening,” she said. “And since I’m adepartment chair, I wanted to learn all thereis to middle-school social studies.”

She’s also looking forward to teachingsomething new and has already mapped outbig plans for her students. “We’ll do thepolitical process — which will be a big pointof focus, this election year,” said Deal. “Inthe first quarter, we’ll study the [presiden-tial] election and will have a schoolwidemock election. There’s lots of technologythat will enhance and make it more realis-tic for the children. And we’ll study the threebranches of government.”

Throughout the year, her students willalso do what she calls “service-learning.”

Deal will teach them to be-come lifelong volunteers and“reflect on how the volunteerwork they do helps the com-munity as a whole.” Stone stu-dents in all grades do similarthings, participating in a walkfor the homeless, beautifyingtheir school’s grounds andhelping with the PantherPickup event for OurNeighbor’s Child atChristmastime.

Some of Deal’s students joinin those projects, and otherscome up with their own ideasto help “so it’s meaningful tothem and they can develop alifelong volunteer spirit,” shesaid. “For example, some stu-dents have volunteered at the[county’s] Animal Shelter andothers have participated inWFCM’s canned food drive.”

She’ll also teach her stu-dents about economics. “In thespring, they’ll go through Fi-nance Park in Fairfax as partof the county’s financial initia-tive,” said Deal. “They’ll learnto budget their money and livewithin their means. They’llalso learn about differenttypes of economic systems andhow ours compares with othercountries.’”

She, too, was eager forschool to begin. “You’re alwaysstarting fresh every year, and I like howexcited the kids are on the first day ofschool,” she said.

I’ll have some new students and ones I’vetaught before,” she said. “And I’m lookingforward to working with eighth-graders andteaching civics. It’s a new adventure for meand it’s going to be a good year.”

CENTRE RIDGEMusic teacher Josie Walker is beginning

her first year at Centre Ridge Elementaryand second with FCPS. “I’m really excitedto be here,” she said. “Everyone seems re-ally nice; it seems like a fun place to be ateacher. I was a voice major in college, witha secondary in piano. I wanted to be ateacher and I’ve loved music my whole life.My brother’s a music teacher in ArlingtonCounty, so I got to see it from his perspec-tive.”

Walker will teach music to grades K-6; herstudents will play a variety of instruments,sing, dance and learn music theory. She’salso excited about getting to know the chil-

dren. “Last year, I was at two Fairfax Countyschools,” she said. “But this year, I’m just atCentre Ridge, so I’m looking forward tobeing part of the community here.”

Assistant Principal Janice Suitte is in hersecond full year at the school and expectsan enrollment of about 830 students. Thereare several new staff members, includingthree specialists in language arts, math andspecial ed, plus a second assistant princi-pal, Chip Deliee.

What makes Centre Ridge so special, saidSuitte, are “the children, supportive parents,community and staff and the great teach-ers. We also have a wonderful principal[Margo Dias-Pareja] with a great vision. Shecares about the community and the chil-dren.”

Suitte also noted the school’s “neat fam-ily center where families may come in andget what they need for their children. Theycan use computers, get information aboutresources and programs and participate inour parenting program. We also have par-ent liaisons who speak Spanish and Korean.

We want to make the buildinginviting to reach out to thecommunity.”

As the new school yearstarts, she said, “I like seeingthe parents bringing in theirkids and seeing how excitedthey are. The kids look aroundand see how big the buildingis. I enjoy greeting them andmeeting their parents; it’s agood time. I like that newnessof a new experience — evenfor returning students. This isjust a great place to be.”

CENTREVILLE ELEMEN-TARY

Centreville Elementarycounselor Lee Kaiser is “ex-cited and eager” to return toschool. “I love the energy anew school year brings to thestaff, students and teachers,”he said. “It’s bringing everyoneback together.”

He said the school is open-ing with 950 students. “Wehave a lot of new staff thisyear, plus a new modular unitfor fourth grade, becausewe’ve grown so much,” saidKaiser.

Centreville is holding its an-nual, welcome-back picnic thisFriday, Sept. 5, at 5:30 p.m.,and Kaiser is expecting a goodturnout of teachers, adminis-

tration, parents and students. And through-out the school year, he said, “I’d encourageparents and families to come and get in-volved in the school in any way possible.”

WESTFIELD HIGHFreshman Fatima Rivera was “pretty ner-

vous” about beginning high school atWestfield. “I’ve got to get used to a newenvironment and meeting new people,” shesaid. But she was eager to start her biologyand journalism classes and possibly join thelacrosse or soccer teams. And, she added,“I’m looking forward to going to the foot-ball games.”

Bill Schnepper is assistant band directorat Westfield. “What’s fun for me is seeingkids I’ve taught in elementary school,” hesaid. “Last year, we had a fantastic year. Ourbands cleaned up at the competitions andwe had a really good group of kids. Thisyear, it looks like another great, cohesivegroup of students, and we’re looking for-ward to our band holiday concerts, Dec. 7-9.”

Therapy at Marymount Univer-sity in Arlington. “Your physical ca-pabilities decline as you get older,but it is realistic to believe that youcan improve your functioning.”

Wong says that even those withlimited mobility can get moving:“If a person has a lot of physicaldifficulties or if they have healthissues that have left them withsome movement impairment, see-ing a physical therapist can behelpful to them at first,” saidWong. She recommends the Cen-ters for Disease Control (CDC) andPrevention’s Physical ActivityGuidelines for Older Adults assources for exercise ideas.

A HEALTHY DIET is anothervaluable tool in preserving andimproving one’s wellbeing, sayexperts. “We all know the impor-tance of having a good diet, butsometimes that is not always pos-sible,” said Worthington. “Peoplecan go out to local farmers mar-kets and find fresh, local produce.They can make food from scratchinstead of buying processedfoods.”

Experts say a few weapons instaving off the ravages of time areoften overlooked: “When peoplethink about successful aging, theyimmediately talk about the physi-cal, but in reality, social and men-tal wellness are even more impor-tant,” said Worthington.

Healthy relationships with fam-ily and friends are critical to one’soverall health. “Relationships be-come so important, getting out tointeract with others. Showing con-cern and understanding as well asthe willingness to help others isalso beneficial because it keeps usconnected. Family connections ofmultiple generations can be in-valuable,” said Springfield-basedsocial worker Sue Franke.

“Connecting with or finding new

friends is important, but how doyou do that, especially after thekids have gone and maybe you’reout of the workforce?” saidWorthington. “Why not go back toschool or take continuing educa-tion courses where you would notonly be stimulating your mind, butalso reconnecting with otherpeople?” She also suggests volun-teer activities and travel.

When it comes to safeguardingone’s health, money matters.“Good financial wellbeing orhealth is being able to live a lifewhere people can support them-selves and not be dependent uponother people. That happensthrough planning, and in today’seconomy when plans don’t workout, people have to be creative,”said Worthington.

Garner says her greatest inspi-ration is not research, but her re-tirement community peers: “Thereare so many people, some who arein their 80s and 90s, who come tothe fitness center in their walkersand scooters and they exercise. I’mjust in awe of these people becausethey’re continuing to move and Ithink that’s really important.”

Centreville Edges Lake Braddock in Season-Opening ThrillerWildcats score infinal minute tobeat Bruins, 28-27.

By Jon Roetman

Centre View

Centreville and Lake Braddock,winners of the last three Divi-sion 6 Northern Region cham-pionships, opened their 2012

seasons on Aug. 31 with the high schoolfootball equivalent of a heavyweight box-ing match.

Centreville landed some early punches asthe Wildcats used a punishing ground gameto build a 14-0 lead. Lake Braddock coun-tered, using its big-play ability to score 27unanswered points. The Bruins’ barrage wasnearly enough to win the fight. But in thecontest’s final minute, the Wildcats deliv-ered the decisive blow.

Centreville quarterback Scott Walter con-nected with A.J. Turner for a 14-yard touch-down pass with 42 seconds remaining inthe fourth quarter, lifting the Wildcats to a28-27 victory at Centreville High School.Lake Braddock reached the Wildcat 33-yardline during the game’s final possession, butthe Bruins came up empty.

Centreville, which graduated five first-team all-region athletes from its state run-ner-up team in 2011, trailed 27-14 in thefourth quarter.

“These kids are fighters, they’re competi-tors, they’re gamers,” Centreville headcoach Chris Haddock said. “The youth inthem and the inexperience in them are go-ing to create some mistakes, but our heartand our toughness and our guts are hope-fully going to make up for a few of thosethings.”

Lake Braddock led 27-21 and had pos-session at Centreville’s 25-yard line withabout four minutes remaining. Facing third-and-10, Henderson threw downfield and

was intercepted by Turner at the 8-yard line.The Centreville sophomore returned thepick 36 yards to the Wildcats 44, and caughtthe game-winner 11 plays later.

“I saw [Henderson’s] eyes when he turnedand cocked [to throw],” Turner said, “… soI just ran that way and tried to pick the balloff or even swat it down, but I had a chancefor a pick, so I got it.”

Centreville led 14-0 early in the secondquarter thanks to a 32-yard touchdown runby Marcel Smith on the Wildcats’ first pos-session and a 12-yard touchdown passfrom Walter to Christian Martey on theirthird series. Lake Braddock quickly dugitself out of the two-touchdown hole, re-sponding with 21 points before the half.After Martey’s touchdown reception,Lake Braddock defensive back AaronHollins returned the ensuing kickoff 96yards for a touchdown. The Bruins tiedthe score on their next possession, whenquarterback Caleb Henderson found JongYoo for a 15-yard touchdown. The nine-play, 53-yard drive was kept alive whenLake Braddock, facing fourth-and-six onthe Centreville 49, executed a fake punt andTim Coulter raced 22 yards for a first down.Three plays later, the Bruins converted onthird-and-16 when Henderson hit A.J.Alexander for a 19-yard gain.

While Lake Braddock had answeredCentreville’s strong start, the Bruinsgrabbed momentum by the throat whenHenderson launched a deep pass toAlexander for a 58-yard touchdown on thefinal play of the first half, giving LakeBraddock a 21-14 lead.

“I’m just pleased that our kids foughtback the way they did,” Haddock said.“You could feel it. The entire momentumhad shifted right before the half — wegive up a kickoff return, they score onthe last play of the half. With the youththat we had and the inexperience we had,they could have very easily packed it in,[but] then we score with [42] secondsleft in the game. That’s fighting until the

bitter end.”Sophomore running back Taylor Boose

led Centreville with 17 carries for 78 yards.His 6-yard touchdown run with 6:13 re-maining in the fourth quarter cut LakeBraddock’s lead to 27-21. Seven Centrevilleball carriers combined to rush 45 times for276 yards.

Junior running back Martey carried eighttimes for 51 yards and caught two passesfor 17 yards and a touchdown, but sat outthe second half with a right leg injury.

Walter completed 8 of 20 passes for 88yards and two touchdowns. He was inter-cepted twice.

In his first start for Lake Braddock,Henderson completed 16 of 27 passes for212 yards and two touchdowns. He wasintercepted once and sacked five times.

“I thought,” Haddock said, “the defensedid a very solid job tonight against maybeone of the best quarterbacks that we’re go-ing to see.”

Henderson transferred to Lake Braddockafter earning second-team all-region hon-ors as a sophomore signal caller at WestPotomac. Trailing by one in the final minute,he led the Bruins down the field andthought they had a chance to win when he

connected with Vince Sica for 24 yardsdown to the Centreville 40.

“I felt like when they scored, we had agreat chance to score again,” Hendersonwrote in a direct message on Twitter. “WhenVince caught that ball near our sideline, Ithought he was gone.”

Alexander had seven receptions for 123yards and a touchdown. Running back JonCarrier’s 2-yard touchdown run gave LakeBraddock a 27-14 lead with 4:34 remain-ing in the third, but the point after attemptfailed, leaving the door open for Centrevilleto win by a point.

Kyle Shanahan and Hollins each inter-cepted a pass for the Bruins.

Lake Braddock will host Annandale at7:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 7.

“This week we are completely different,”Henderson wrote, “and we are going to begreat this week. I can’t wait.”

Centreville will travel to face WestPotomac at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

“I think it can really boost our confidenceup really, really high,” Turner said aboutbeating Lake Braddock. “Coach Haddockwas telling us how Lake Braddock reallywants to kick our butts, so we just have tostep it up and play as a team.”

Centre View

When the Centreville High football teambeat Lake Braddock last Friday, 28-27, itunderscored the Wildcats’ intention to

successfully defend their regional title. It was alsothe inaugural game on their new, artificial-turf field.

Centreville actually raised some $1.25 million andinstalled two such fields. And before the Aug. 31game, school officials, contributors and local digni-taries joined to cut their ribbon in a ceremony by thefootball field’s entrance gate.

“It was just about a year ago when we decided todo this,” said Wildcat Athletic Director JimmySanabria. “Little did I realize how big an endeavor itwould be. But this project couldn’t have been donewithout the entire community all pulling together toput in these two, state-of-the-art fields for the com-munity to enjoy.”

He said Sully District and Springfield DistrictSchool Board members Kathy Smith and ElizabethSchultz, respectively, plus Board Chairman IlryongMoon supported the project, and he thanked themfor “thinking of our community.”

Because grass fields must rest, be reseeded andhave time to grow for the high-school seasons — andcleats, weather and usage damage them — no onebut Centreville has been able to use its practice andgame fields. But artificial turf will enable SYA’s youngathletes to play on them, too.

In addition, heavy rains will no longer be a prob-lem because the fields’ synthetic material will ab-sorb and drain water. So soggy, muddy fields won’tforce games to be cancelled or rescheduled. Artifi-cial-turf fields are also cost-effective because they

don’t need the maintenance and materials requiredby grass surfaces.

To raise the funds needed for the new fields,Centreville sold name-engraved bricks with which itwill construct a wall leading to the football stadiumin honor of the donors. It also received donationsfrom SYA, plus various companies, organizations,individuals and the school’s Athletic Booster Club.Supervisors Michael Frey (R-Sully) and Pat Herrity(R-Springfield) also found $275,000 for the project.

Friday evening, with new Centreville PrincipalMartin Grimm participating in the ceremony,Sanabria acknowledged everyone who’d helpedmake the new fields a reality. He thanked First Vir-ginia Community Bank for working with the school,and Neighborhood Community Services for award-ing Centreville a grant. Regarding SYA, he said, “Wecouldn’t have done it without them and the moneythey gave us.”

Sanabria also praised the two supervisors, callingthem heroes. “Superman Frey and Superman Herrityhelped us navigate the political waters and found usfunds at just the right moment,” he said. Sanabriathen thanked the companies and community mem-bers “who really put the kids in our community first.”

These donors included the Carney Foundation andCentreville parent Tom Healy, who Sanabria dubbeda “community member extraordinaire who kept ask-ing, ‘What can I do?’” Noting that the same was trueof the Athletic Boosters, Sanabria said, “I just keptasking for more and, somehow, they found it.”

He also expressed appreciation to FCPS Design andConstruction personnel who helped put the fields inplace in just two-and-a-half weeks. Sanabria said thatwas the second-fastest artificial-turf installation inthe U.S., with the first being the New EnglandPatriot’s turf field.

Last, but not least, he tipped his hat “to everyonewho bought bricks and donated money, regardlessof the amount. You gave and gave, and I’m honoredand proud to give [these fields] to you to enjoy fordecades to come.”

Those cutting the ribbon for Centreville High’s new, artificial-turf fields includedSupervisors Michael Frey and Pat Herrity, Centreville Principal Martin Grimm (notpictured) and School Board members Ilryong Moon and Elizabeth Schultz.

Is what I feel – wherever I feel it, canceror middle age? Is what I feel worthy of amention to my oncologist or merely yourstruly looking for trouble? Moreover, Is thepain/discomfort I feel in my chest (betweenmy lungs) par for the course of treatment I’mon and characteristic of the disease withwhich I’ve been diagnosed, or is it com-pletely unrelated and not at all noteworthy(dare I say, normal)? Or is this a repeat of asymptom I’ve experienced previously? Oncethe pain represented a tumor growing in mylungs (bad news); another time, the samepain was scar tissue growing over tumors thathad shrunk (great news). (Scar tissue, as myoncologist explained to me, is similar to thescab that eventually forms over a skinnedknee and is a sign of healing.) In each case,however, the identical symptom had two verydifferent causes: one good, one bad. Ergo myconfusion now. Is what I feel good, bad, orshall I remain indifferent?

And if I remain indifferent, how do Iremain indifferent about the most importantthing in my life: my health/ diagnosis/ progno-sis? However, stressing about unconfirmedcomplications seems itself an unnecessarycomplication and one to be avoided.Where’s the benefit in making myself sick(see 8/29/2012 column: “Diagnosed But NotSick”) simply because I have a terminal dis-ease? Then again, if I am to remain proactivewith respect to my care and feeding, I mustadvocate for myself and not allow time topass when pain and suffering need not occur.I don’t want to worry myself sick, but nor do Isuppose that neglecting myself dead servesany particular purpose either. As CurlyHoward of The Three Stooges said: “I’m tooyoung to die, too handsome; well, tooyoung, anyway.” My feelings exactly.

Not only has the same pain-in-my-chestsymptom led to opposite interpretations, ithas also caused me to wonder if what I’ve feltwas real or imagined (see 8/22/2012 column:“Life in the Cancer Lane”) and typical of theroller-coaster existence that becomes “nor-mal” for cancer patients. The dilemma is, Idon’t want to make something out of nothingany more than I want to make nothing out ofsomething. Nor do I ever want to bedamned, but with some days/certain symp-toms, I feel as if I’m damned if I do anddamned if I don’t. Still, I can live with it: Ihave lived with it, but it certainly doesn’tmake me feel like I’ve mastered it.

Even writing a column about it (cancer,and the emotional confusion it causes) seemslike I’m bringing unnecessary attention to acondition (some condition) with which I’mforced to live, but a condition any cancer/terminal patient still living would be happy toendure: life. And let me be clear: I am notcomplaining. I am “introspecting” into thepeculiarities and perplexities of living a lifefor which I had no preparation, no experi-ence and zero indication – until the biopsyconfirmed it, that my life, as I had previouslyknown it and expected it to be, was officiallyover. Not literally, but figuratively. Yet anotherconundrum.

Making the best of a bad situation, that’show I roll (I’m a Red Sox fan after all). Somedays are easier than others, some symptoms/treatments/results are better than others. Andsome columns make more sense than others.But that’s cancer for you: an equal opportu-nity “screwer-upper.”

Police alsoremind drivers that, when bus lights andstop signs are activated, vehicles must stopin both directions, unless they are separatedfrom the bus by a median. In 2011, officersissued 1,364 citations for speeding in schoolzones. They issued 364 citations for improp-erly passing school buses and not stoppingfor school buses with flashing lights.
