So last Fall,she set off for Tanzania in EasternAfrica, a nine-hour car ride fromthe government capital of Dar EsSalaam.

“It was definitely an eye-open-ing experience to see their focuson education,” said Meghan, thedaughter of Deborah and John

Pollard. “Their students have anappreciation for the opportunity ofeducation because many peopledo not have the opportunity to at-tend school beyond a sixth-gradelevel.”

Pomerin Secondary School is aboarding school — the classroomshave 50-60 students each; theyshare two or three to a desk, twoto a chair. She said everything be-yond the sixth grade level is taughtin English, even though most ofthe students speak their tribal lan-guages and their national lan-guage of Swahili.

BUSINESS EXPOThe Westfields Business Owners Associa-

“We have a wonderful array of businesses,ranging from home improvements to healthorganizations and adventure companies,”said Chamber of Commerce spokeswomanPatrice Gerideau.

This year’s business expo features amyriad of local businesses, including thefood vendors,” she continued. “The cham-ber extends special thanks to our present-ing sponsor Kaiser Permanente, promo-tional sponsors 110RPM, TriVision Studios,

the Chantilly Connection and Centre Viewnewspapers, host sponsor Beatty Manage-ment and all our sponsors for makingChantilly Day 2015 possible.”

DONATE FOOD TO WFCMChantilly Day also includes a food drive

for Western Fairfax Christian Ministries(WFCM). This Chantilly-based, nonprofitprovides food, clothing and emergency fi-nancial aid to local families people in need.

But it needs help restocking its food pan-try to gear up for summer when the need isgreatest. That’s when many children whodepend on free and reduced-priced break-fasts and lunches in school no longer havefood to eat.

So people attending Chantilly Day areasked to bring with them nonperishablefood to donate to WFCM. For each food itemthey contribute, they’ll receive a raffle ticketfor prizes, so those bringing the most itemsto the table outside the Kmart entrance willhave the best chance to win.

OFF-SITE PARKING, SHUTTLEStaybridge Suites will run a shuttle from

the corner of Centreville Road and SkyhawkDrive to and from the festival throughoutthe day. The satellite parking lot will be at3900 Skyhawk Drive, with shuttle serviceavailable every 15 minutes during the fes-tival.

By Stacey A. Kincaid

Sheriff, Fairfax County

Across the nation, people are having se-rious discussions about how to alter thedynamic that too often exists between

some law enforcement officers and individu-als. Out of each case, we learn something thatwill help us go forward. So, as justice pursuesits course in Fairfax County with re-gard to the tragic death of NatashaMcKenna, let’s not lose sight of thereal underlying problem: the sys-temic mishandling of mentally ill patients whohave few or no resources, and lawenforcement’s struggle to deal with untreatedor undertreated individuals.

There is a teachable moment here for thoseof us who have dedicated our lives to law en-

forcement and for members of the communitywho believe in dignity and fairness for thosewho come into contact with the criminal jus-tice system.

All of us are eager — and many are impa-tient — for the investigation into Ms.McKenna’s death to be concluded. This inci-dent has not been forgotten or ignored. Fromthe beginning, the Sheriff’s Office has cooper-

ated with the investigation fully. Therecent completion of a report by theOffice of the Chief Medical Examinermeans the investigation is nearing a

close. I have not offered more than passingcomment because, as both a law enforcementofficial and a citizen, I do not want to preju-dice the outcome of an investigation in advanceof the facts by answering questions to which Ido not have the answers, or by anticipating

actions I might take once all the facts areknown. I admit to having been disappointedthat someone chose to release internal docu-ments — for the same reasons I think anyoneinterested in justice and fairness would be.

In the meantime, and for the foreseeablefuture, our jail will continue to be a warehousefor individuals with mental illness who havebeen unable or unwilling to access effectiveclinical care, social services and housing in thecommunity.

About 40 percent of the inmates in our jailhave been identified as needing some level ofmental health care during their incarceration.More than a quarter have a serious mental ill-ness — often combined with a substance abusedisorder — that requires intervention, regulartreatment and medication management.

Commentary

Statement from Fairfax County Public Schools Super-intendent Karen K. Garza following the Fairfax CountyBoard of Supervisors passage of the Fairfax County Fis-cal Year (FY) 2016 budget:

Once again, we find that the FairfaxCounty Board of Supervisors hasfailed to fully fund Fairfax County

Public Schools (FCPS). This is extremely dis-heartening — we entered this budget yearmaking a good faith effort to workcollaboratively with the Board of Supervisors.

We worked for nearly a year with the CountyExecutive and the Board of Supervisors to de-velop a reasonable budget that met only thevery minimal needs of FCPS, and in the endthey did not deliver.

Supervisors are sending a clear message thatthey are unconcerned about the increasingchallenges of our students, our teachers, andour schools. The supervisors refused to fullyfund our budget for the 2015-16 school year(FY 2016), when faced with a nominal $7.6million deficit. We have grave concerns as towhat will happen in the 2016-17 (FY 2017)school year when we face a devastating short-fall of more than $100 million.

The entire Fairfax County community has acritical decision to make: either we invest thenecessary funds in our students and schools,or we will have to work together to decide whatto cut — and we cannot cut our way to excel-lence.

Due to years of chronic underfundingcoupled with a decade of significant enrollmentgrowth and increasing student needs, we willnot be able to sustain the current quality northe full range of academic programming wecurrently offer our students. We have soughtto protect the classroom to date, but with thescale of the FY 2017 shortfall, we will have totake a serious look at the programs that wemust cut starting in the 2016-17 school year.These cuts will likely affect all current aca-demic programming including limiting electivechoices, reducing career and technical pro-grams, impacting advanced offerings, andagain raising class sizes at all levels. We mustmake these difficult choices by December 2015because students begin their course selectionsin January 2016.

Since 2008, we have cut 2,175 positions and

There are families dealing with hun-ger in every county in the UnitedStates, including here in NorthernVirginia.

In Fairfax, there are 67,190 peoplewho are food insecure, (facing hungerat some point monthly) which is morethan 6 percent of the population, according toa report by Feeding America.

In Arlington, 8.7 percent of the populationis food insecure, 18,750 people. In Alexandria,10.8 percent of the population faces hunger atleast monthly, that’s 15,540 people.

ON SATURDAY, MAY 9, as they deliver mail,

postal carriers will collect donations of non-perishable food left by residents near their mailboxes. They will be joined by retired letter car-

riers, by family members and friends,and by volunteers to help collect and dis-tribute the sacks of non-perishable fooditems that get left next to mailboxes that

morning.People are encouraged to leave a sturdy bag

containing non-perishable foods such ascanned soup; canned vegetables; canned meatsand fish; pasta; peanut butter; rice or cerealnext to their mailbox before the regular maildelivery on Saturday. Carriers will bring thefood to local food banks, pantries and shel-ters.

The annual food drive is held in more than

10,000 cities and towns in all 50 states, theDistrict of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the VirginIslands and Guam. Last year almost 73 millionpounds of food was collected in the one-dayevent for people in need throughout the UnitedStates.

CHILDREN ARE AFFECTED by hunger dis-proportionately, with nearly 30 percent of stu-dents in Fairfax County Public Schools poorenough to receive subsidized meals at school,which is an incredible 51,968 students. Thatpercentage is more than 31 percent in Arling-ton with more than 7,700 students poorenough to get meal benefits. In Alexandria, 60percent of students are poor enough to getmeal benefits; that’s almost 8,600 students.

Many of these students go hungry on week-ends, during school closures for bad weatherand in the summer. More on that soon.

In the meantime, leave a bag of food out byyour mailbox on Saturday.

Solar Lights

Meghan Pollard volunteered at the Pomerini Secondary School in Tanza-nia, East Africa.

A student holds an inflatable solarlight, which costs $15.

gether,” she said. “If they need additionaltime beyond those two hours (of generatortime), they have no available light to studywith. So many of them will be sitting out-side studying by the moonlight.”

There is no electricity and no generatorat the dorms, so the only way for studentsto have light is if they have a solar light.One volunteer had brought a solar light withher, and “we realized how useful it was andhow crucial it was to have a solar light justto be able to go through typical daily ac-tivities,” she said.

So Meghan got the idea for her Lights forLearning campaign to raise money to sendsolar lights to the students. Her goal is tosend 644 lights — one for every student atPomerin to use for studying. Each light costs$15, which includes shipping to Tanzania.So far, she’s collected enough money to sendabout 50 lights.

The inflatable lights are manufactured bya company called Mpowrd; they are the sizeof a CD case and deflate to about one inch.They have reflective panels that distributelight to a larger area and come in three set-tings: low, high, and flashing. Once they’recharged, they lasts for six to 10 hours.

Meghan has to buy one pallet of 96 lightsat a time, which is a cost of $1,500 per pal-let. Presently, she’s raised close to $1,000.

Visit her website: igg.me/at/

lightsforlearning to make a contribution bya credit card, and the funds will go towardspurchasing solar lights.

After her trip to Tanzania, Meghan spenteight weeks in Honduras volunteering at anorphanage for abandoned and abused chil-dren. There she taught at the bilingualschool and helped them establish atelemedicine program.

Locally, Meghan has also volunteered atthe Katherine Hanley Shelter where she’shelped organize birthday parties for thechildren; worked at Habitat for Humanity’sReStore; coached tennis for Special Olym-pics; and helped organize the food pantry

and decorate for Christmas at Fisher House.Before she goes to college in August, she’slooking to volunteer in Peru, St. Lucia, andthe Cook Islands. She attends St. Mary’sCatholic Church in Fairfax.

“Meghan has always had a big heart,” saidmom Deborah. “And her desire to defer col-lege for a year to pursue a service gap yearhas been incredible. Her compassion anddesire to help other people shines throughin her Lights for Learning Project; she set ahigh goal for herself of getting so manylights, but I believe because of her effortand dedication, she’s well on her way toproviding a light for every single student.”

In the fall, Meghan will be a freshman atthe Georgia Institute of Technology, whereshe’ll study biomedical engineering. She isconsidering going to medical school, andworking in drug design, prosthetics or medi-cal device development.

While she was at Centreville High School,she was a member of the choir, led the acapella group, played volleyball all fouryears, involved in the Key Club, and was amember of the National Charity League.

Meghan wrote a blog about her experi-ences in Tanzania and Honduras, and willcontinue to blog about her service gap year.Visit Wideningmyworld.wordpress.com.

A huge event on a scale FairfaxCounty has never before seen —that’s the 2015 World Police &Fire Games. It’ll run June 26-July

5 and promises to be a once-in-a-lifetimeexperience for area residents.

“We expect over 12,000 first respondersfrom more than 70 countries,” said countypolice Maj. Rich Perez, who’s heading upsecurity. “There’ll be 61 sporting eventsspanning 10 days, and with more athletesthan the summer Olympic Games.”

Perez is in charge of bringing together 37different federal, local and state entities toprovide security for the events. Thesegroups include the county Fire and RescueDepartment, Sheriff’s Office, Virginia StatePolice, the U.S. Department of HomelandSecurity, the TSA, ATF, and Department ofState.

The World Police & Fire Games started inSan Diego, Calif., in 1985 and are held ev-ery two years. “We’re celebrating the cama-raderie, honor, courage and athleticism offirst responders from around the world,”said MPO Michelle DuBois, one of thecounty Police Department’s athletic out-reach ambassadors.

Both active and retired fire and law-en-forcement personnel will be competing.“This is the 30th anniversary of the games,so there’ll be dignitaries here, too,” said

DuBois. “And it’s also the 75th anniversaryof the Fairfax County Police Department.”

THE OFFICIAL website isFairfax2015.com and, said Perez, “It’s get-ting 9 million hits a day. The local, economicimpact is expected to be $70 million to $80million for those 10 days.” That’s because,in addition to the athletes, themselves, anestimated 30,000 visitors are also expectedto attend the games here.

Some 80 county firefighters and 50county police officers are registered to par-ticipate, including Police Chief Ed RoesslerJr. “He registered for the triathlon and hasbeen diligently working out and preparingfor it,” said Perez.

Some other local first-responders will bedefending their awards won previously. FireDepartment Battalion Chief Jerome Will-iams won a gold medal in stair climbing inthe last games, held in New York. Andcounty police officer, Lt. Mark Kidd, is thecurrent gold-medal holder in darts.

But all the participants are special, saidBill Knight, president of the World Police &

Fire Games. “These athletes are truly he-roes from around the world,” he said. “Andthey deserve to be treated like Olympians.”

The various athletic competitions will beheld at 53 different venues, but more than70 percent of the games will take place inFairfax County. Athletes will participate inevents including archery, badminton, base-ball, beach volleyball, bench press, billiards,body building, bowling, boxing, cross coun-try, cycling, darts, dodge ball, flag football,golf, hockey, judo, karate, lacrosse, halfmarathon, motocross, motorcycle andmountain biking. They’ll also vie inorienteering, paintball, pistol and rifle com-petitions, police service dogs, rowing, rugby,skeet shooting, soccer, softball, swimming,table tennis, tae kwon do, tennis, track andfield, triathlon, ultimate firefighter, volley-ball, wrestling and wrist wrestling.

Several of the events will be held in thelocal communities. There’ll be baseball atWestfield High; Toughest Competitor Aliveat the Cub Run Rec Center; clays, skeet andtrap shooting, Bull Run Regional Park; cy-cling, police driving track in Chantilly; darts,

Fairfax County Police Association Hall inFairfax; and lacrosse, Centreville High.

GMU will also host baseball games, aswell as basketball, bodybuilding, boxing,swimming, tennis, and track and field. Atthe Reston Town Center will be the athletevillage and check-in, plus the half marathonand honor guard competitions.

Martial arts will be held at NOVA’s ErnstCenter, and weightlifting will be at theHerndon Community Center. Meanwhile,archery, cycling, mountain biking andorienteering will take place in FairfaxStation’s Fountainhead Regional Park. AndTysons Corner will host dodge ball and stairracing.

MASS TRANSIT will be used as much aspossible to transport the athletes to andfrom each venue. “There’s no cost to attendand view any of the events,” said DuBois.“So we encourage people to bring theirfamilies and friends to them and enjoy.”

But such a huge undertaking can’t be ac-complished without volunteers, and some4,000 of them are needed. Signups are athttp://fairfax2015.com/volunteer.

“We need medical personnel at eachvenue to cover the athletes, volunteers andspectators,” said DuBois. “People are alsoneeded to check in the athletes and directthem to the next station. Volunteers mustbe 18 or older and able to read, write andcommunicate in English. They must alsopass a background check to keep everybodysafe.” Urging people not to pass up this op-portunity to lend a hand, she said, “You canplay a key role in one of the largest, multi-sport, multi-venue events in the world. In-stead of just watching, you can be a part ofhistory.”

Bill and Betty Kenealy, of Springfield, make it a point to socializeregularly with their long-timefriends, many of whom are other

couples they met through work and throughthe activities of their five children. They’vewatched their children become adults,worked, retired and even survived cancer.Now they’re living together in a retirementcommunity in Springfield. Bill is 85 andBetty is 81.

“We enjoy meeting for dinner on a regu-lar basis or playing cards or dominoes andBingo,” said Bill.

One of those couples is George and PeggyWhite, both 80. They met when Bill andGeorge were stationed together in the mili-tary. Both couples speak fondly of thestrength they get from their friendships.

“All of us have different stories and havedifferent backgrounds,” said Peggy White,80. “It’s been an interesting and rewarding.”

Healthy friendships and strong social con-nections provide more than interest, say re-searchers. They are vital to one’s mental,physical and emotional wellbeing. A studyby the National Institutes of Health showthat people who are socially isolated aremore likely to die of heart disease than those

Healthy Relationships for Life Researchers say meaningfulfriendships help preserve health.

“One of the mostfundamental thingsthat we need ismeaningful socialconnections and asense of belonging.”

who have close relationships. While it mightbe more challenging to make friends as oneages, the benefits are worth the effort sayresearchers.

“Research shows that social connectionsare more important for health, longevityand cognitive functioning than any othervariable,” said Linda Gulyn, professor ofpsychology at Marymount University in Ar-lington. “Social support … increased likeli-hood of getting proper health care, compli-ance with health treatments, diet, activity[and] mental health.”

A HEALTHY SOCIAL NETWORK is cred-ited with longevity. “Social support at allstages of the lifespan reduces people’s stresslevels, and this in turn promotes physicalhealth,” said Linda Cote-Reilly, Ph.D., asso-ciate professor of psychology at MarymountUniversity. Seniors who have active socialconnections are better able to fight disease,they experience greater psychological well-being and reduced incidence of depression,Cote-Reilly said.

“One of the things that research hasshown is that social isolation is a killer,” saidDominique S. Hubbard, professor of psy-chology who studies social exclusion andostracism at Northern Virginia CommunityCollege. “One of the most fundamentalthings that we need is meaningful social

connections and a sense of belonging.”In fact, researchers point to a variety of

studies that link health and longevity withfulfilling relationships.

“There is this reallyamazing study done inAlameda County, Calif.,that followed almost5,000 residents for nineyears, and found thatthe best predictor ofmortality rates werepeople who indicatedthey had few meaning-ful relationships, mean-ing that people who an-swered they had manymeaningful relation-ships were more likelyto be alive than those with few,” saidGeorgeana Stratton, Ph.D., associate pro-fessor of psychology at Northern VirginiaCommunity College in Sterling. “Even whenthey … only look at people with cancer orheart disease, they still found that thosewith many meaningful relationships did bet-ter than those who answered few.

“Their social relationships were the bestpredictor of health and death, meaning itpredicted better than other things they mea-sured like smoking and stress,” saidStratton.

Seniors are more susceptible to the harm-ful effects of a dearth of companions. “Iso-lation is potentially very damaging to all of

us, but most especially toseniors,” said PamelaStewart, assistant dean ofpsychology, Northern Vir-ginia Community College,Annandale campus.“Friendships keep us bal-anced and generally morepositive. They help to keepus busy, can give us a fo-cus and keep us more hap-pily engaged in the worldaround us.”

Retiring and relocatingcreates challenges whenattempting to maintain ex-

isting friendships. “Unfortunately, for manythe pool of friends becomes smaller as oneages,” said Stewart. “We lose touch with ourformer work mates and a fair percentageof our friends may have moved away orpassed away.”

Those who are no longer in situations thatoffer natural opportunities for social inter-actions can still recreate a circle of friends.

“Seniors can replace those by adding newthings,” said Hubbard. “Consider joining aclass or a bridge club. The key is to haveconsistent, positive interactions.”

Sports

The Centreville boys’ lacrosseteam had another roller-coasterweek, enduring a 12-3 homeloss to Westfield on April 28,

but responding the next night with an 18-5victory at JEB Stuart.

The Westfield game was held on SYA

night, which was fitting since many playersfrom both schools are former SYA youthleague teammates. The Wildcats were un-done by the Bulldogs’ overall team speedand crisp passing. Centreville’s JV teamsalso lost to Westfield although the score wastight for most of the game.

The game versus the Raiders was muchmore productive, with 13 Wildcats scoringgoals or assists. John Tarver scored the firstgoal of the game and finished with six totaland Tyler Heidt scored three goals to ac-company his six assists. Other Wildcatsmaking goals were Patrick Goldammer, Kyle

Richbourg, Pat Fuller (2), Jake Kandel,Corey Spriggs, Kainoa O’Connor, andTommy Bowden (2). The team has thrivedthis season when it shares the ball, as ex-emplified by assists made by MatthewLaurence (2), Aidan Barnes, AustineTebyanian, and Kyle Heidt.

“CT Looked Good”

Cryptic? Hardly. Words I can live withthe for the next three months until mynext CT Scan? Absolutely. I’m going tostop now before I make this initial para-graph a priceless MasterCard moment.What this column is about, however, is anupdate about the good-make-that-greatnews I received electronically from myoncologist late Friday afternoon, two daysafter I had completed my most recent CTScan, and a full week before our nextface-to-face appointment, when the scanresults both good and bad are typicallyshared and discussed. And though myoncologist understands and appreciates –per last week’s column – that waiting isexcruciating for the patient/survivor; hisfear of providing misinformation and/ormisinterpreting the radiologist’s report,and in turn my overreacting to one or theother, accounts for the timeline thatprobably doesn’t suit either one of us.

Nevertheless, it is what it is, it’s what ithas been and I doubt, living into thefuture, it will be any different. Writing acolumn or two about its drag on my coef-ficient is healthy enough, I suppose (betterto get it out than to keep it in, the mentalhealth professional might say). But I’mguessing the correlating/paralleling uni-verse might be that obsessing/ “compul-sing” over something I can’t change islikely not good for this soul or psycheeither. And if there’s any substance to theanecdotal claim that cancer patients/ survi-vors who can eliminate some stress fromtheir lives will have a better outcome/longer life, then the sooner I understandand accept control and/or lack thereof,with respect to my treatment/process/overall cancer experience (maybe a fewother areas, too), the more rewarding myfuture will be. As Clint Eastwood said nearthe end of Magnum Force: “a man got toknow his limitations,” so too must apatient know and accept his.

I likely can’t change how and when mydoctor communicates to/with me, though.He has procedures; I have mine. He hasrules, preferences, timelines, etc. As thepatient, I would say mine are probablydifferent. As to the oncologist who haskept me alive six-years-going-on-sevenafter originally giving me a “13-month totwo-year” prognosis, my reply to his e-mail was more wordy: “Thank God andthank you! Now we can relax a little bituntil we see you at our next appointmenton the 24th.” To say we’re looking for-ward to that next appointment would be abit naïve. Still, we’re not in fear for ourlives, as sometimes has been the case.

Once in-office, we’ll look at the com-puter and compare the two previousscans, and likely evaluate and discuss thepast, present and future. These meetingsare as much about strategy as anythingelse. I certainly don’t expect any guaran-tees, nor do I expect any warm andfuzzies. I’m sure he’ll be smiling as willwe, and be grateful as well, for our amaz-ing good fortune. Nevertheless, this is anextremely serious business with an unpre-dictable outcome. Moreover, as much as Iappreciate MasterCard’s “Stand Up ToCancer” campaign; being a cancer patientis hardly priceless. In fact, it’s all it’scracked up to be. That being said, whenthe three words typed in your e-mail sub-ject box are the title of this column, forthe moment, all is right in your world –until the next scan of course, threemonths hence. It’s a cycle of loom forsure, but it sure beats the gloom it couldhave otherwise been.

Opinion

KincaidSheriff’s Office is working to improve men-tal health care at the jail, but as of this writ-ing, we have no available options to prop-erly divert individuals under arrest andavoid unnecessary incarceration. In no waywhatsoever is this intended to justify inap-propriate, improper or illegal behavior bylaw enforcement officers anywhere; it issimply a fact.

As I have done for years, I will continueto advocate locally and in Virginia for moretreatment centers for minor offenders whoare seriously mentally ill and would be bet-ter served in a mental health facility thanin a jail.

I have pledged my 28-year career withthe Sheriff’s Office in service to the safety,security and well being of all Fairfax Countyresidents, and to do so as fairly and trans-parently as possible. I will continue to workwith mental health organizations in searchof solutions to an intractable problem fac-ing vulnerable individuals for whom all ofus, out of nothing more than common hu-man compassion, must assume some re-sponsibility.

Garzanearly a half-billion dollars from our bud-get affecting every school and department.We have fallen so far behind in teacher sala-ries that we are no longer competitive andare losing talented staff to neighboringschool districts. Our teachers are the rea-son FCPS students excel and achieve. Los-ing our most experienced teachers will havea significant effect on student performanceand will ultimately affect the reputation ofFCPS.

Fairfax County public schools are fre-quently cited as one of the main reasonsthat businesses choose to relocate to thecounty, and Fairfax has some of the highestproperty values in the country, but withoutexcellent schools as a foundation — corpo-rate investment in Fairfax and property val-ues will decline.

In the education of our children, everyyear matters; we cannot hope to make updeficits in their education in their lateryears. It is critical we take action now.

I hope our community will join me to#saveFCPS.
