The parents of Fairfax County love and respect the wonderfuljob that all of our public school teachers do daily with our mostprecious resource…our children.For Teacher Appreciation Week, consider returning the loveto our teachers by giving them what they and their familiesmost need:

Money to survive!

• Fairfax County teachers have had no salary or COLA increase in the pasttwo years.

• Teachers in Loudoun (3% COLA ) and adjoining Northern Virginia countiesare being given raises THIS year.

• County workers are being given a raise THIS year.• Many teachers in Fairfax have had to take second jobs to pay their bills

and provide for their children, which takes time away from their abilityto do extra-curricular work (like sponsoring clubs or mentoring) for FCPS.

Please give back to our hard-working teachers this week: E-mail your School Boardmembers and tell them to make those who educate, love and protect our childrentheir priority in this year’s budget!

The Connection

If there’s a single opportunity that ViVa! Vienna!affords the Rotary Club of Vienna, it’s themeans to give money – lots of it – to worthycauses in and around Vienna. The Rotarians

disperse funds to local civic groups, Town of ViennaParks and Recreation, schools, community first-re-sponders and other service organizations through-out the year. From the proceeds of the 2010 ViVa!Vienna!, the Rotary Club will award $146,000 to theVienna-area community.

AT ITS “SERVICE ABOVE SELF” luncheon onApril 27, the Rotary Club honored Lauris M. Eek, III,a life member of the Vienna Volunteer Fire Depart-ment, and Officer John Barker, Animal Control Of-ficer and property manager of the Vienna Police De-partment. Eek and Barker each received a personal-ized plaque to keep and their names were engravedon the perpetual plaque that remains at their work-place.

Eek joined the Vienna Volunteer Fire Department32 years ago. “I joined to ride the ambulance andto help people,” Eek said in accepting his award. Helphe does. Eek has chaired the Bingo committee for22 years. Bingo is the volunteer fire department’smain fundraiser.

Officer Barker was identified by his nominatingsupervisor as an officer who “has worked tirelesslyto improve the management of property and evidencesystems” within the police department.

Coworkers and supervisors nominate candidatesfor the awards.

Rotary also presented checks to the VVFD and theVPD.

VVFD Chief John Morrison, accepting the dona-tion, said the canteen truck used when firefightersbattle a blaze for a long time needs replacement.VVFD is also planning on buying a new fire truck forits use, as well.

The money presented to the police department isdedicated to the department’s Rape Aggression De-fense [R.A.D.] program. Padding and suits that thetraining officers wear in this women’s self-defenseprogram are worn and need replacement.

Rotarians donate to VPD,VVFD and others.

be interesting to see how it’s used inthe election. I don’t feel safer. I wasnever really scared of that. Actually, I’mmore afraid of people who text anddrive.”

Bruce Stark, McLean Firefighter“Not that it brings any justice, just

poetic justice I guess. I lost a lot offriends that day. My partner went in thetower to get his wife, she was pregnant.She came out and he didn’t.”

David Souza, McLean“It’s about damn time. The fact that

we got him, finally got that bastard,well, he got what he deserved. Thisbrings some peace to the people whohave lost someone, that day or in themilitary. Americas is more preparednow.”

Cindy Flores, McLean“I’m surprised he was actually caught

Opinion

May 3 is World Press FreedomDay, a time to remember thatin 2010, 44 journalists weremurdered around the world to

stop them from reporting the facts. In 2011,so far, 16 journalists have been murdered.

The day serves as a reminder to governmentsof the need to respect press freedom, alsoserves as a day of reflection on professionalethics and press freedom for those who workin media, a day of support for journalists andorganizations of all kinds who are tar-gets, and a day of remembrance forthose journalists who lost their livesin the exercise of their profession.

The UN General assembly proclaimed May3 as World Press Freedom Day in 1993, as areminder that in dozens of countries aroundthe world, publications are censored, fined,suspended and closed down, while journalists,editors and publishers are harassed, attacked,detained and even murdered.

At the Connection, we are reminded of theimportance of press freedom internationallyby the daily presence of Kemal Kurspahic. Of

the 50 World Press Freedom Heroes named10 years ago, who were honored again inVienna, Austria last September, one is KemalKurspahic, managing editor here at the Con-nection. Kurspahic is managing editor andcommunity editor for the Vienna, McLean,Great Falls, Reston and Oak Hill/HerndonConnections.

In December 1988, Kemal Kurspahic wasnamed editor-in-chief of Oslobodjenje,Sarajevo’s 70,000 circulation daily newspaper,

the first elected by the paper’s staff.Before that, the Communist Party hadcontrolled all editorial appointments.Then after the communists were

ousted and Bosnia’s first democratic electionsheld, Kurspahic battled to maintain editorialindependence against a coalition of national-ist parties through a constitutional court casein 1991.

During the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina,despite snipers’ bullets, constant shelling, andnewsprint shortages, the paper’s multi-ethnicstaff of Bosnians, Serbs and Croats, guided byKurspahic, worked day and night in a nuclear

bomb shelter to put out a daily issue of thepaper, providing one of the city’s only sourcesof information.

In the United States, freedom of the press isprotected by the Constitution.

While the challenges in Northern Virginiapale in comparison, we also remember thatthere are miles to go in openness and trans-parency in government.

Walking toDulles – NotLong, Not HardTo the Editor:

How much walking is worth$330 million? On Tuesday of thisweek I walked from the NorthGarage to the terminal at DullesInternational Airport, the distancean air traveler would walk if theMetropolitan Washington AirportsAuthority made the sensible deci-sion to build the Metro station atDulles above ground at that loca-tion.

The entire walk is within an un-derground, climate controlledwalkway. The total distance isabout 1150 feet and took 4-7 min-utes depending on if my group

walked or stood on the movingsidewalks.

The distance between the pro-posed underground station(MWAA’s preference) and theaerial station includes 250 feet ofunassisted (without moving side-walks) walking – that’s $1.3 mil-lion per foot. It took me 2 minutesand 39 seconds to get from thearea proposed for an undergroundstation to the aerial alternative –that’s $2.07 million per second.

Not only is the underground sta-tion within an easy walking dis-tance from the aerial station, it’sactually farther away from thedestination of most of the futureSilver line Dulles rail riders. Amajority of Metro riders arrivingat the airport station will use it toget to work at nearby businesses

that are closer to the North Garageand farther from the terminal.

These are the facts the MWAAboard had before it when it chosean underground station againstthe recommendation of its ownstaff and its funding partners:Fairfax County, Loudoun County,and the Commonwealth of Vir-ginia.

Simply put, MWAA chose stationthat is more expensive, will takesix months longer to build and isless convenient for the majority offuture Metro riders.

Misinformation is being circu-lated that the above ground sta-tion would ruin the beauty ofDulles and that passengers wouldhave to pull luggage along longdistances exposed to the elements.Neither is true and should not be

used to make the case for an un-derground station. Additionally,MWAA should not expect thehigher ($330 million) cost to becovered by the jurisdictions thathave rejected it.

I am confident that good senseand facts will prevail. I am look-ing forward to a discussion withmembers of the MWAA board sothat an agreement can be reachedregarding the most logical, costeffective and convenient choice fora station at the airport. Rail toDulles is Fairfax County’s highesttransportation priority and it mustnot be delayed.

The Connection

In his re-election bid kickoff on April30, Virginia Delegate Mark Keam [D-35], whose family emigrated fromKorea when he was a child, said his

campaign is all about making sure the nextgeneration has all the opportunities he had.His wife Alex and young children, Tyler andBrenna, stood nearby.

A lawyer and father of two living inVienna, Keam first ran for office in 2009,an unknown candidate knocking on 8,000doors in his magisterial district, introduc-ing himself and his objectives. He becamethe first Asian immigrant to join the Gen-eral Assembly.

“I ran because I wanted to make sure thisgovernment and its policies worked for allof us,” Keam said.

Fairfax County Board of SupervisorsChairman Sharon Bulova said she endorsedKeam during the 2009 primary, admiringthe energy of his campaign.

BULOVA POINTED to both Keam andState Sen. Chap Petersen [D-34]. “If youlook up energy in the dictionary, you’ll seea picture of these two guys,” said Bulova.“The two of them are twins when it comesto putting out energy.”

Chap Petersen, in turn, recognized Keam’sstrengths before introducing the delegaterunning for re-election.

“Mark represents the new generation ofleadership in this county,” said Petersen.“When Mark got down to Richmond, hespoke for the people of Fairfax but he also

listened.”Politics, said Petersen, is a service indus-

try, and the best way to do it is to listen tothe customer. “When you get to Richmond,you speak for them.”

Cindy Stewart, a member of the ViennaWoman’s Club and the Hunter Mill Districtrepresentative on the County’s animal shel-ter advisory board, said that Keam workswith the community. He’s been supportive,Stewart said. Keam plans on speaking atthe Woman’s Club May 18 scholarship meet-ing, open to the public.

“I admire the way he works on a biparti-san basis to get things done,” said Stewart.“I also admire the way Mark connects withthe Vienna community and his civic-mindedness.”

For the Asian community, the Korean-American one in particular, Keam is a sym-bol and he recognizes that honor. WilliamHwang of Oakton fundraised for Keam inhis first campaign.

“The thing about Mark is that he is work-ing for the community,” said Hwang. “Whensomeone in the community has a problem,he tries to solve it.”

Diane Poldy, president of theViennaTysons Regional Chamber of Com-merce, called Keam a supporter of small andmedium-sized business. “He’s our go-to guyfor support in that arena,” Poldy said.

OWNERS of the Harmonia School of Mu-sic and Art on Mill Street opened their cen-ter for Keam’s use, and a jazz ensemblemade up of local high school students, “Out-side the Beltway,” contributed to the fes-tive elements. Approximately 200 peopleshowed up to support Keam or learn moreabout him and his priorities.

Keam’s revised district runs a swath fromTysons to Fair Oaks, and Keam joked, “atleast, my wife will be spending money inmy own district.”

With the school yearcoming to a close,most students head

Lifelong Vienna residents ShirleyMartin and Mayo Stuntz sharedVienna memories with people whostopped by a 160-year-old logcabin.

Gardens still opened to publicviewing.The azaleas still dazzled in ka-

Roads surroundingWindover Street closed to traffic as planned.People strolled and some strolled with stroll-ers, babies kept dry under canopies.

But there’s no denying the rain put, shallwe say, a damper on the annual spring eventco-sponsored by Historic Vienna, Inc. incooperation with the Town of Vienna Parksand Recreation and Public Works depart-ments and the residents of the HistoricWindover District.

Signs in yards advertised which proper-ties welcomed public viewing and, along theroute, volunteers set up refreshment tableswith punch and sweet treats. Children onbikes and dogs on leash were free to pa-rade down the closed-to-traffic roads.

Patricia Stillwell, a gardener who usuallycomes to the Walk on the Hill, was givenhosta plants by a friendly homeowner. “It’srefreshing to get ideas how others do plant-ing,” Stillwell said.

Mayor M. Jane Seeman, who enjoys gar-dening, toured the colorful yards, as didTown Council members Edythe Kelleher andLaurie DiRocco.

Faith Oklahoma atOakton High

the age of six and hopes tostudy theatre at a college level.

Experience of the cast rangesfrom well-seasoned veterans tofirst timers. Katie Juliana, afreshman actress, says “Okla-homa!” is “far more profes-sional than any of the plays Ihave ever performed in before.”And while this may seem as anoverall joyous experience, se-nior Isun Malekghassemi sadlyreports this will be her “last per-formance and will sorely missthe comradely bond” betweenher and the other departing se-niors. Ray Daniels, another se-nior, says, “It’s hard to processleaving the people and techni-

cal department behind”.Daniels constructed the set of“Oklahoma!” with the help ofOakton’s engineer to design asafe yet efficient environment.

The positive energy createdby the cast is hard to miss.Adrienne Piccioltto feels “supertight with everyone and thechemistry is rocking on and offset.” Piccioltto comments onhow an old western set in Okla-homa is relevant to modern daytimes. “In a way it’s a 1920s ver-sion of Romeo and Juliet withsome West Side Story throwinto the mix. ‘Oklahoma!’ re-volves around love triangles,something everyone can relateto whether they’re from 3000B.C. to 3000 A.D.”.

By Rich Sanders

The Connection

Already, the 2011 spring season forthe Herndon High girls’ softballteam has been a success. Yes,there are still a couple of weeks

remaining in the regular season and lots tostill accomplish for the Hornets, but theseven victories the team had accumulatedgoing into this week was quite impressivefor a program which had won one and threegames, respectively, in each of the previoustwo seasons.

Herndon, clearly an up-and-coming teamunder third year head coach Roy Amps,looked to be on the verge of perhaps its sig-nature win of the season last Friday night,April 29 when it appeared to have a solidOakton High team on the ropes four inningsinto the Concorde District contest playedon the Hornets’ home diamond. The under-dog Herndon team led the talented Cou-gars by three runs and looked to be rela-tively in control and on way to gaining akey district upset victory.

But Oakton, which had been strugglingboth at the plate and in the field over thefirst four innings, revived in a big time waythereafter, breaking through for 10 runs inthe top half of the fifth inning on way to animpressive 17-4 win over the host Hornets.The contest was halted following six inningsas a result of the 10-run mercy rule. Oakton,with the comeback win, improved its over-all record to 7-2-1 and 4-1 in district play.Herndon, meanwhile, saw its record fall to7-5 overall and 1-2 in the district.

“Once one or two got on base, it was kindof contagious,” said Ray Gordon, the Oaktonhead coach, of the turnaround fifth inningin which the Cougars, who trailed 4-1 go-ing into the inning, brought 14 players tothe plate.

Gordon said the Oakton batters waitedon the pitches better after the fourth inning,making sure the pitches they swung at werestrikes and often going to the opposite fieldwith their batted balls. Oakton, which hadfour hits and one run over the first four in-nings, tallied nine hits in the decisive fifthand 14 over the game’s final two innings.

“We have the tendency to come out ingames not so hot,” said Oakton juniorcatcher and team tri-captain Mandy Krage,of the Cougars’ tendency at times to get offto slow starts. Myself and the other captains[over the first several innings] were justtrying to keep the girls motivated.”

Whatever the rallying cry was Oakton’scaptains and coaching staff worked as theCougars looked to be a highly motivatedteam in the latter innings. Once the hits andrunners accumulated over the fifth and sixthinnings, more and more energy filled theOakton dugout and the Cougars were alive

with vigor at having taken over the game.“They just had lots of hits,” said Amps,

the Herndon coach. “But the big thing withus is we kept hustling. On [Oakton] hits wewere getting the ball quickly back into theinfield.”

The Herndon defense did commit acouple of fielding errors in the Oaktonbreakout fifth inning. But more than any-thing, the Oakton bats simply came to life.Key hits in that inning came from BeckyServa and Emily Krisanda, who bothsmacked doubles off of the center field fencewith Krisanda’s two-bagger accounting fortwo runs. Later in the inning, Serva, a fresh-men, also sent a ball the opposite way downthe right field line for a two-run triple. (Inthe sixth inning she added a two-run doubleto her big night).

Other key hits for Oakton in the fifth cameon RBI singles from both Hayley French andAbby Mills, and a two-run single by EmilyCorridon. The Cougars added six more runsin the sixth inning. Big base hits in that in-ning came from Krisanda (RBI double),French (RBI single), Kelsea Sinnett(double), and Angie Noviello (2-run single).

OAKTON’S ALANA PETERS, a freshmanmaking her second varsity pitching appear-ance since recently being called up from theJV, started and pitched three innings for theCougars. She allowed an unearned run inthe first before retiring the Hornets in or-der in the second. In the third, Herndontouched the hard-throwing ninth grader upfor four singles and three runs.

Cerva, another freshman, took over inrelief in the fourth inning for Oakton andwent three perfect innings to earn the win.

Oakton pitcher Allison Davis, anotherninth grader, has been on the mound muchof the season for the Cougars and been in-strumental to the team’s success both onthe hill (80 strikeouts) and at the plate (14RBIs). But she was injured early last weekduring Oakton’s 9-3 district loss toWestfield.

Another Oakton pitcher, sophomore KaylaSweeney, began the season as Davis’ backupbut fell ill early in the spring and has notbeen able to play since.

With Davis unavailable, Gordon electedto start Peters, who undoubtedly will helpOakton the remainder of the season.

Cerva, although not as hard-throwing,was outstanding in relief against Herndon,hitting her spots and showing great poiseon the mound.

“She’s a battler and gave a great efforttonight both at the plate and on themound,” said Gordon.

Krage, the team’s starting catcher and ateam leader, is confident about Oakton’spitching staff despite its youth.

“I definitely trust them out there,” shesaid. “Even though they might not have asmuch experience, they can still comethrough. They all have pitches that workfor them.”

Krage, who had a single and reached basethree times from the Oakton clean-up posi-tion, took a hard foul tip off her facemask/helmet from her catching position early inthe game. As a result, Krage’s catching hel-met, which she had used for six years, wascracked and had to be replaced. The foultip, naturally, shook the catcher up a bit andshe spent a few minutes gathering herselfafterwards. But she hung in there and con-tinued to play, using another helmet.

“I probably get a foul ball to the head oncea game now,” said Krage. “I just shake it off

and take a couple of breaths.”
