The Connection

Approximately 250 volunteers showed upat Vienna Presbyterian Church [VPC] inthe morning on March 26 to help pack-age 50,000 meals for the hungry around

the world. In partnership with Stop Hunger Now,church members lined up assembly-line style toscoop, seal and box. Each benchmark of 1,000 mealsdrew cheers from the volunteers.

“When I learned about it, I was like, oh, 50,000meals,” said Oakton High School junior NicoleAbdullah who served as funnel bag-holder and ricescooper. “I thought it was a big thing, an awesometask.

“I’m glad I’m doing it.”Into each weight-controlled bag went rice, soy pro-

tein, vegetables and a vitamin pack. Each bag madesix nutritionally-complete meals. The bags weresealed mechanically to ensure sanitary distribution.

“We are trying to inspire a larger degree of dedica-tion to missions,” said Sue Hamblen, VPC interimDirector of Missions. “More than just funding, buttime and talent, too.”

VPC, said Hamblen, outreaches to the communityin many ways, from financial and material supportto human support. The church will be notified inmid-April where their packaged meals are going to.

VOLUNTEER “Greenmile” Louis Crandell, wholugged huge bags of rice to scooping bins, is a testa-ment to the outreach support that VPC provides tothe community. A few years ago, Greenmile was liv-ing outdoors in the woods surrounding Fairfax Circlewhen VPC people reached out to him, getting himfood, clothing and shelter. An untreated medicalcondition left him blind in one eye but VPC’s sup-port got Greenmile to medical care to save the othereye.

The Connection

With no parking lots plannedat the new Tysons CornerSilver Line Metro stations,the looming concerns facing

residents who showed up at a Tysons trans-portation public meeting were, “how do weget to Metro safely” and “why will busesgo through residential neighborhoods.”The March 24 Tysons Metrorail Station Ac-cess Management Study [TMSAMS] meet-ing, held at Westbriar Elementary School,was the last of four scheduled public meet-ings designed to solicit comments and sug-gestions for transportation accessibility tothe new Silver Line stations. Nearly 70 resi-dents showed up to hear Fairfax County De-partment of Transportation [FCDOT]TMSAMS Project Manager Kirs Morley-Nikfar lead the meeting and to answer citi-zens’ questions.

TMSAMS is a partnership of the FairfaxCounty Department of Transportation andthe TMSAMS Advisory Group. TheDranesville, Hunter Mill and ProvidenceDistricts fall in the study area and are rep-resented on the advisory group. TMSAMSis inviting the public to help prioritize ac-cessibility options to Tysons, including busroutes, bike lanes and pedestrian walkways,within the three-mile radius from the cen-ter of Tysons Corner. TMSAMS came withdetailed maps set up on easels but each mapbore so many legends that representativeswere repeatedly asked to explain them.Every guest was given a survey to fill out

and corresponding hand-outs that detailedsuggested Silver Line Metrorail accessibil-ity improvements. After the general pre-sentation by Morley-Nikfar, attendees werebroken down into focus groups moderatedby a facilitator.

“I’d like this group to consider well-litpedestrian and bicycle access to Tysonsalong Rt. 123,” said Dan Mulville, presidentof the Northeast Vienna Citizens Associa-tion [NEVCA]. “We need bicycle access withstriping along the roadway and shuttle

buses along 123. To be safe access, it hasto be well-lit.” Mulville wondered if theparking lots of Vienna businesses wouldturn into satellite parking for Metrorail.

ONE RESIDENT questioned the judgmentof putting buses on Old Courthouse Roadand down Creek Crossing Road, an area thatis home to elementary school walkers andswim club members who walk or bike tothe swim club. Current proposed plansembrace Old Courthouse Road to CreekCrossing, passing Fairway Drive and Coun-try Club Drive, both of which house single-family homes with young children living inthose houses.

Creek Crossing narrows to two thin lanesas it approaches Beulah Road. Another resi-

dent recommended sending buses downEast Street, avoiding Creek Crossing.

Country Club Drive homeowners Fredand Luci Khamissi came to the meeting witha recent article suggesting Walmart planson building a store off Rt. 7 where the Hum-mer salesroom once was. Fred Khamissiexpressed dislike for having a “big box”store behind his community.

Walmart, Tysons redevelopment and thetraffic generated by Tysons disturb theKhamisses who bought into Country ClubDrive, near Creek Crossing, four years ago.“We moved into a quiet little neighbor-hood,” said Luci Khamissi. “It’s changedforever and now we’re caught up in themiddle of a traffic nightmare.

“When you bring buses into existingneighborhoods, it changes the character.”

Fred Khamissi was adamant about thedamage he sees being done to neighbor-hoods outside the urban boundary of thenew Tysons. “They’re sacrificing our livesand our quality of life for developers.”

Many of the questions posed had no readyanswers. A speaker from the audienceasked what percentage of Silver Line Metrousers were expected to be bicycle riders.County planners had no data on that readilyavailable at the meeting. Another attendeeasked how neighborhoods applied for “per-mit parking only.” Cathy Hudgins, HunterMill District Supervisor, was on-hand to re-spond to that question, describing the pro-cess.

“Permit parking can be inconvenient fora neighborhood,” said Hudgins. Noting thatget-togethers in which guests come in carswould present a parking problem, Hudginsadded some advice later. “Don’t apply forrestricted parking until you have deter-mined you really need it.”

Opinion

After a recent vote to approve 270apartments that would be rented tofamilies with a variety of incomelevels, the three members who voted

against it — John Cook (R-Braddock), MichaelFrey (R-Sully) and Pat Herrity (R-Springfield)— called the project “subsidized luxury hous-ing” which would compete with the privatesector.

Fairfax County desperately needs a mix ofaffordable housing. The county offers a widevariety of options, from tiny efficiency apart-ments for a single person that can cost less than$400 a month including utilities, tothree-bedroom apartments that cost$1,100 a month for families of four ormore who could earn $100,000 a year.

But there is not nearly enough such housingavailable. There are more than12,000 familiesor individuals languishing on a waiting list thatcould take three years or more. Some familiesare waiting in homeless shelters.

This isn’t a case of wanting to spread thewealth around. This is a serious economic de-velopment issue.

“Businesses today are seeking young creativeprofessionals with state-of-the-art technologyskills,” said Gerald Gordon, of the FairfaxCounty Economic Development Authority, call-

ing workforce housing and this project in par-ticular “fuel for the growth of our technologyand other businesses.” These workers oftencannot, at the beginning of their careers, af-ford to live in Fairfax County.

“Opportunities to live close to where theywork helps employees reduce commute timeand improve their quality of life. And thattranslates into a business advantage,” saidDouglas Koelemay of Science Applications In-ternational Corporation (SAIC).

More than 70,000 households in FairfaxCounty have income of less than $50,000 peryear, less than half the area median incomefor a family of four, $102,700, according tothe 2008 US Census Bureau’s American Com-munity Survey,

More than 26,000 households in FairfaxCounty have income of less than $25,000 peryear.

Think about it for a minute. If you’rereading the Connection in newsprint,chances are that your household has

annual income of more than $200,000 a year.How can any family survive on less than$25,000 here?

Fairfax County has the largest number ofrenters with what is described as “worst casehousing” in Virginia: More than 12,000 FairfaxCounty renter households pay more than 50percent of their income for housing costs, haveincomplete plumbing facilities and/or live insevere overcrowding.

Fairfax County is smart to take underusedcounty-owned property, like the land aroundGovernment Center and other “surplus” prop-erty to help create more opportunities to ex-pand lower cost rental apartments.

The biggest boom in the county will come inthe next few years in Tysons Corner, where thecounty must engage every creative mechanismto boost housing opportunities for every in-come of Tysons worker.

Lazy ThinkingTo the Editor:

When the governor vetoed lastweek the proposed physical edu-cation requirement for ourschools, my first thought was “la-ziness.”

Not the physical laziness fromstudents failing to get the dailyactivity. Rather, it was the intellec-tual laziness that arises from smartpeople blindly adopting state-ments from our educational estab-lishment when those statementsare contrary to fact.

The backdrop for this issue is therapid increase in childhood obe-sity that now impacts one-third ofall schoolchildren. Our childrenare heavier than at any time inU.S. history. By every objectivemeasure, they engage in lessphysical activity.

The bill passed by the GeneralAssembly requires at least 150minutes of weekly physical activ-ity from kindergarten througheighth grade. To provide time forimplementation, the law’s effectwas delayed until 2015.

Rather than embracing thismodest use of our public schoolsto promote healthy living, the pro-posal was assailed by critics in theeducational establishment. Nor-mally, I defer to the leadership ofthe school system on curriculumissues. Not this time. In fact, thesecriticisms suffer from inconsis-tency if not hypocrisy.

CRITICISM #1: The law is an“unfunded mandate” which willcost millions to implement.

RESPONSE: Nonsense. Everyschool in Virginia has open spaceand recreational facilities. Nearlyall in Fairfax County have full-size

gyms. (This is not the simpler eraof my youth with P.E. class in thecafeteria). In other words, thepublic’s money has already beenspent. Let’s use these facilities!

CRITICISM #2: The law willtake away from classroom instruc-tion time.

RESPONSE: That misses thewhole point. Quite simply, sevenhours of class time is more effec-tive if it includes at least 30 min-utes of physical activity. Again,daily physical education was astaple in our schools up until 10years ago. And the U.S. still pro-duced more Nobel Prize winnersthan any other country.

CRITICISM #3: Physical educa-tion should be taught by parents,not the schools.

RESPONSE: This is a remarkablecomment, when you consider thatstate law mandates the teaching of

“family life education,” otherwiseknown as sex education, in school.Is encouraging exercise less impor-tant than teaching kids about sex?

In summary, the need for betterfitness is crucial in today’s chil-dren. But it’s been forgotten asschools focus on boutique aca-demic offerings. Today’s educa-tional elite would rather investmoney in “Mandarin forkindergarteners,” rather than old-fashioned sports and exercise.

But our kids need movementevery day. Sitting at a desk all daymakes for a round student, not awell-rounded one.

Therefore, the legislature shouldover-ride the governor’s veto andput some muscle back into theschool day.

The Connection

During Carl J. Bianchi’slong tenure as musicteacher and orchestradirector at James

Madison High School, Bianchi wasrespected and held in high regardby students and peers. When heretired from Madison in 1997, hewas named Teacher of the Year atthat school. In the 20 years thathe has conducted the AmericanYouth Symphonic Orchestra[AYSO], he has garnered similaraccolades from students and par-ents of the AYPO.

On Sunday, April 3, at WestwoodCountry Club, AYPO honors Mae-stro Bianchi’s contribution toyoung musicians in classical train-ing at a fundraiser gala. The mae-stro is in his thirteenth year as thedirector of Virginia’s Ambassadorsof Music to Europe, as well.

“We get to play great music,”said symphonic orchestra member Stephanie Chung,a clarinet player from Vienna. “And Mr. Bianchi is agreat conductor.”

Chung, a James Madison High School senior, is inher first year with AYPO. She said she joined AYPOto play music she would not have had to play other-wise.

“AYPO is a full orchestra and they don’t have thatin my school,” Chung said.

THE GENERATIONS OF MUSIC gala features mu-sic provided by AYPO ensembles, from string to per-cussion, dinner and recognition for Bianchi. Pro-ceeds benefit AYPO programs and its scholarshipfund.

“He is a very popular conductor,” said AYPO Boardmember and gala chair, Karen Sweet, whose daugh-ter Andrea plays in the concert orchestra. “He is veryengaging with the students and it is portrayed in theirperformance.”

The Connection

With a clarity illumi-nated by glowingcandlelight, 1st

Stage found a way to make theoft produced “The Glass Menag-erie” its own. Under directorDawn McAndrew’s quiet touch,Tennessee Williams’ 1944“memory” play of family illu-sions and “truth” finds its mark.With deliberate pacing and deli-cate modest staging, the audi-ence settles in at eye-contactdistance as the characters un-burden their secrets.

This “Glass Menagerie” is ac-complished without unneededtheatrical trickery. The haunt-ing lingering cadence of Ten-nessee Williams’ words are thekey component. His words arelifted upwards and then floatabout by the heat of realcandles’ glow. The final vexing“good bye” then pierces theheart of the audience.

The storyline is about a fam-ily led by an overbearingMother; a woman of fadedbeauty abandoned by a nowinvisible husband living a life at“long distance.” The family con-sists of a shy daughter with alimp that makes her feel unat-tractive and a son Tom. Tomnarrates the play from a dis-tance in time, looking back athimself as the son in the verymidst of the family turbulence.The time is just before WorldWar II and sometime after.

Lucas Beck as son Tom is thecenterpiece propelling this pro-duction. Cut-off and discon-nected from himself from hisalways at hand Mother, he seeksescape. With genuine manner-isms of annoyance emphasizinghis aching words Beck gives theproduction its dreamy quality.His naturalistic delivery, with-out bombast is exceedinglywatchable.

Elizabeth Pierotti as theMother deserves special kudosfor her performance; she tookon the roll only in the pastweek. With an almost worn de-livery, she used her expressivefeatures to bring subtle behav-ior in view as she flutteredabout the stage reminding herchildren of her past life as a“Southern Belle.”

Leigh Patton as daughterLaura is at first almost invisibleon stage; pitifully unadorned,playing with the ends of her hair.She grows into someone withdeeper layers as the productionprogresses. David Winkler isJim, Laura’s Gentleman Caller.In his moments late in Act 2, heprovides a sweet sensitivity as hetries to help Laura see her innerand outer beauty.

There is an accomplished sen-timentality to the set design byJim Alexander with tiny glassfigurines out front, an emptypicture frame of the invisiblehusband and many shadows.Magical flickering candles thatilluminate at the end are a fit-ting, lovely touch.

The American Youth Philhar-monic Orchestra is the flagshiporchestra of four separate en-sembles - the String Ensemble,Concert Orchestra, Symphonic Or-chestra, and Philharmonic Orches-tra - under the umbrella of theAmerican Youth Philharmonic Or-chestras. Each is led by its ownconductor, some of whom haveperformed with the National Sym-phony Orchestra.

Now in its 46th season, AYPOwas originally named the North-ern Virginia Youth Symphony. Theorganization offers competitivetraining and performance oppor-tunities for youth aged 7 to 21.Last year, more than 400 studentsauditioned for the orchestras and400 of those were selected.

Isabel Gross, a George C.Marshall High School studentfrom Vienna, has played violinsince the day after her fifth birth-day. Now a sophomore, Grossplays with the symphonic orches-

tra as a sixth grader. “I get to play with the bestmusicians I’ll ever meet.

“One of the wonderful things of playing in AYPOis that we play a lot of repertoire,” said Gross. “Notjust hard notes but making good music out of it.”

Langley senior Andrew Workman of McLean wasput into contact with Bianchi by Workman’s privatemusic teacher. Bianchi was looking for tenor trom-bone players and Workman auditioned. “It’s greatto be able to play with musicians better than I am,”Workman said. For Workman, who plans on con-tinuing to play music during college, playing withAYPO is a great musical learning experience.

Langley sophomore Laura Grems of Vienna saidshe loves music and thought participating in AYPOwould serve her well.

“It’s really a good experience to play such famousorchestral pieces and it exposes me to a lot of good

cover that Greenmile’s benefitshad been cut off after the home-less man’s identity had been sto-len by someone living in NorthCarolina. Greenmile said he owesa lot of gratitude to the church,Mrs. Lee particularly, andConnolly.

“Whatever they ask me to do, I’lldo,” said Greenmile. “If they needme, I’m here.

“I’m thinking how blessed I am.“This church has helped me somuch.”

Young children, teens, andadults of all age ranges bustled inthe church’s social hall. Youngteens set up a bake sale to benefita community Five Talents programin Alexandria.

LOCAL NONPROFITS, invitedby VPC, had set up tables to re-cruit volunteers for their owngroups. Some, like AlternativeHouse, serve Northern Virginiayouth in its Vienna base. Others,such as the Community Coalitionfor Haiti, collect hygiene kits, veg-etable seeds and stuffed toys forHaiti.

The March 26 effort was VPC’sfirst venture of its kind andHamblen was happy with the turn-out and productivity of the volun-teers. Hamblen said VPC is look-ing for wider reach next year, pos-sibly partnering with otherchurches and Stop Hunger Now toproduce 1,000,000 meals for dis-tribution to the world’s hungry.

“I’ve been trying to put some-

thing like this together myself fora while,” said volunteer John Mor-gan of Oakton. “This is importantbecause there’s so many hungrypeople and it’s hard to get dona-tions for hunger.” Morgan, a VPCmember, also volunteers with theCommunity Coalition for Haiti.

“I’ve seen these packages distrib-uted in Haiti and the childrenthere get to eat a nutritious meal.”

Anthony Brock, an artistwho teaches classesand leads tours for theMcLean Project for the

Arts, has been part of the organi-zation for nearly eight years. Hismother, Gerry Brock, was the di-rector of McLean Project for theArts when the first Annual YouthArt Show took place.

“The idea when it started 30years ago was to include the areakids,” says Anthony Brock. “Thereis so much more focus on art edu-cation now, so a big focus of ourorganization is to have youngpeople come in and get introducedto arts from an early age.”

The MPA is currently hosting the30th Annual Youth Art Show at theMcLean Community Center. Stu-dents from eight elementaryschools contributed artwork to theshow and gathered at the space onMarch 13 for a reception.

Each year the teachers gathertheir students’ artwork and hangit in the gallery for the show. “It’s

wonderful for the students to havea real gallery space to showcasetheir artwork,” says CarolynGoreAshe, an art teacher at SpringHill Elementary School. To par-ents, she said: “There are manycareers that your child might be-come interested in and actuallymake a living doing as we havemade a living doing this. Don’t beafraid if your child wants to pur-

sue the arts, don’t fear it, it is awonderful thing and it is part ofour humanity. We are human andwe love to make things with ourhands.”

Her words reflect the purpose ofthe event itself: to celebrate theartistic abilities of young commu-nity members and support theirartistic growth.

Vavonese examined the maps on the hand-outs.“I’m concerned about the future bike paths,” said

Vavonese. “Where’s the bike lanes on Rt. 7 that willconnect Towlston Road to Tysons?”

SURVEY RESULTS and input from these four pub-lic meetings and 20 other stakeholder meetings will

be presented to the advisory group in July 2011 whenthe findings will be discussed.

Mulville feels that well-lit designed access toMetrorail would make walking and biking more con-venient particularly for residents of North EastVienna.

“We hope they provide safe access in a meaningfulway,” said Mulville. “We need bike racks as much aswe need bike lanes.”

The Madison High boys’ tennis team, in a Lib-erty District home match versus Stone Bridge lastFriday, defeated the Bulldogs, 9-0. Madison’s singleswinners at the competition were: No. 1-seed DanSablik; No. 2 Ho Joon Choi; No. 3 John Adam; No.4 Matt Bosco; No. 5 John Nothaft; and No. 6 WillLowther. Madison’s doubles winners were: Sablik/Adam (No. 1 team); Alex Russell/Aaron Plymack(No. 2); and Dan Nothaft/Alec Ostapovicz (No. 3).

The Warhawks, earlier last week, lost to peren-nial Northern Region power Langley, 7-2, in a dis-trict road match on March 21. Although Langleylost at both the No. 1 singles and No. 1 doublespositions - and was given a scare by Madison intwo of the other singles matches - the Saxons dem-onstrated that they are a powerful team again thisyear.

Madison’s Sablik won his singles match overLangley’s Josh Cooper, 10-3. And at No. 1 doubles,the Warhawks’ duo of Sablik and Adam bestedCooper and Vincent Ning, 10-4.

Langley’s singles winners were: Ning over HoJoon Choi, 10-8 at No. 2 singles; Jimmy Fang overJohn Adam, 10-1, at No. 3; Anudeep Boddu overMatt Bosco, 10-8, at No. 4 singles; Jeff Small overJohn Nothaft, 10-1, at No. 5 singles; and BrianNiu over Alex Russell, 10-5, at No. 6 singles.

Langley’s doubles winners were: Fang/Brandonat No. 2, and Niu/Joe Lafuria at No. 3.

Last year, Langley finished the season as a North-ern Regional semifinalist and the Liberty Districtrunner-up, while Madison finished third amongthe eight teams in the Liberty District for the thirdyear in a row.

In a hotly contested game in near-freezing con-ditions, the Madison High girls’ lacrosse teamstormed back from an early deficit to post a13-11 win over the Langley High Saxons in a

crucial early season Liberty District contest playedlast Friday night, March 25 at Langley.

The Lady Saxons jumped all over the Warhawks inthe early going, bursting to a 7-0 lead within 10 min-utes of the first half. Winning numerous draws, theSaxons executed their settled offense to perfection,scoring with seeming ease. Two goals apiece fromsenior co-captain Torrie Zarella and sophomoresHaley Soutter and Rachel Wagner, along with an earlypenalty shot from junior Margo Swomley, had Lan-gley confident in the early going.

But the Warhawks, seemingly shaking off their first-game jitters, began to chip away at the Saxons’ lead.Led by standout senior Allison Hahn, the Warhawksgathered themselves and began winning their shareof the draws and playing more aggressively. Hahnbroke the ice with a tough goal at the 13:35 mark,and, following a penalty goal by Rachel Wagner thatmade it 8-1, the rest of the half was all Warhawks.

Hahn would tally twice more in the first half, withgoals as well from Molly Webb and two by MeganBisson. They scored twice in the last 90 seconds andthe Saxons were left clinging to an 8-6 lead as thehalftime horn blew.

THE SECOND HALF opened with another burst ofSaxon offense, as they took the first six draws. Soutterfound the goal and Swomley and senior co-captain

Nicole Burkart scored off penalty shots to make it11-6 Langley. But this would prove the high watermark for the Saxons, and the last 20 minutes of thegame belonged to the Warhawks. Saxon goalie Longstaved off the swarm with two clutch saves, the sec-ond on a point-blank penalty, but at 16:55 Hahnfound the net again, sophomore Carly Frederickscored at 14 minutes, and the Warhawks kept com-ing.

Freshman Alex Condon brought the ‘Hawks withintwo and then Mellissa Kellan tallied twice to eventhe score. With 5:05 left, Frederick scored again andthe Warhawks took the lead for the first time. Hahnfittingly applied the coup de grace, finding the netwith 2:38 left, and the Warhawks easily burned clockto close the contest.

The Saxon starters faltered and the motion offensefailed to tally after their good second half start of sixconsecutive draw controls. The Saxons had nine turn-overs in the second half, three of which led toWarhawk goals. Adding to Langley’s troubles were11 fouls.

The Saxons failed to score on their last four shotson goal while the Warhawks made their last fourshots.

The game saw excellent play on both ends, withgoalie Erin Long’s eight saves matched by theWarhawks’ diminutive sophomore goalie TaylorRivera-Silva, who also had eight stops.

There is no let-up for the Saxons (2-2) in this longand challenging stretch. Having played a tournamentand three games in less than week, they now faceLiberty District power Stone Bridge, whose varsitywas scheduled to come to Langley for a key contestthis past Monday night. Madison (1-0) was to hostMount Vernon earlier this week on Tuesday, March29. The Warhawks will play a district game atJefferson next Monday night, April 4.

I’m having a problem of late (Oh really, justone?) concerning the fact – and the feelings Ihave – about having cancer. Specifically, talk-ing about it with people I know. Let me amendthat: talking about it with people with whomI’m familiar but who, for a million reasons, arecurrently out of my cancer loop (and thus,don’t have the latest information). It seems thatit’s easier for me to talk to people I don’t knowwho know about my having cancer; readers,people I’ve met over the last two years and/orpeople with whom I’ve remained in touch,than it is to talk with people I do know whodon’t know about my diagnosis. Do you knowwhat I mean? If so, that probably makes one ofus who does.

Not that I want to – or need to – avoid thesubject, but other than writing about it as fre-quently as I do, I am not exactly looking tospread the Gospel of Kenny-has-cancer. Sowhen conversations begin with people I knowfrom my pre-diagnosed-with-cancer life, Ihave very little to say. I mean, how do youhave a “normal-type” conversation with some-one when the most important and dominantpart of your life, your 24-7 life (cancer) is asubject which, for a variety of reasons, you’reextremely uncomfortable discussing – with thatparticular person. It’s not so much personal, asit is poor timing.

Let me try and explain that. With anybodywho knows me and knows I have cancer –and I know they know, I am not uncomfort-able discussing any of the cancer-relatedaspects of my life. I am an open book, as youregular readers know. “Discussing” I don’tmind. However, dredging up all the sordiddetails from the past two years, where conver-sations invariably go when you haven’t seen ortalked to someone in those few years – andthey’re the least bit curious about you, causesme great consternation; anticipating theirquestions and in turn deciding on my answers.

I never know how much or how little tosay. I never know if I can be totally honest ormust I be totally sensitive – to their feelings, inthe event they have some personal/family-typehistory. I never know exactly how to behave;to be self-effacing and self-confident concern-ing my own health status – and/or try not tonot make them feel bad/awkward for havingasked, and then try to delude myself by mak-ing light of the situation – so they won’t feelsorry for me, or lie to them and not say any-thing of cancer substance. And if I choose thelatter strategy and say nothing about the can-cer, can you imagine how on guard I have tobe to not let anything slip out about the lasttwo years, two years which have been con-sumed by my having cancer? It’s like pretend-ing to be someone else just so you don’t haveto deal with/re-visit all the history that has pre-ceded this conversation (much of which you’dlike to forget, anyway) and placed you in thisreal-life predicament of truth or dare.

I have enough difficulty dealing with myown reactions to having cancer, along with thereactions of family and friends who know, tohave to spend any time sorting through andprocessing the emotions of people who nowknow but previously didn’t know. It’s not beingselfish as much as it is self-preservation. I reallydon’t want to use my precious time bringingpeople up to speed and reinforcing the mor-bid and terminal nature of my diagnosis. Idon’t want to have to convince anybody ofanything – about me. It’s difficult enoughkeeping myself on the straight and narrow. Ican’t waste any additional mental energy onpeople I know who don’t know. I want – need,actually – to spend it on people in the know. Idon’t know if I have enough time to spend iton people who don’t know, well-meaningthough they may be. Sometimes, it’s just easierthis way, although not always; and that’s theproblem I’m having.

Harris Miller’s watercolor painting, “Churchill Downs,” wasthe first art piece selected inthe Vienna Arts Society’s

Ticket to Art fundraiser on March 19.Ninety-three year-old Miller, a prolificVienna artist, has been painting for 60 years,and it is his artwork that graces the stationalong the Washington and Old Dominiontrail on Dominion Road. Ticket to Art, be-gun five years ago to raise money on behalfof the arts society, was conceived by Miller.Every year, he submits a painting to raffleoff. Every year, the painting goes early.

“Art is part of society, “ said Miller. “Apart of the community.”

There were 26 $125-tickets sold and 48pieces of art to choose from. The first ticketdrawn, that of Carol Kelly, got first pick ofthe pieces of donated art. The second num-ber drawn chose the second piece. The pro-cess continued until the last ticket wasdrawn. Tickets were pulled at random. Thelast person to draw received a free ticketfor next year’s event.

Peggy James of the Artful Gift Shop em-

ceed the program. During the first hour,two artists painted to music while guestssampled wine and soft drinks, as well assweets and savories. The fundraiser wasan opportunity for the public to meet theartists in the community and to acquire amoderately-priced piece of original art. Theraffle and reception were held at the ViennaArt Center at 115 Pleasant St. NW.

“Although we did not sell as many ticketsas we hoped, we did fairly well,” said Ticketto Art co-chair Grace Rooney. “We ended

up with bringing in $3,000 for the art raffleand about $250 for the drawing prizes.”

VAS offers art classes for adults and chil-dren and summer camp for students andmaintains an art gallery on Pleasant Streetand another smaller one on Maple Avenue.For more information on the Vienna ArtsSociety, Inc. and its center on Pleasant Street,see www.viennaartssociety.org/
