When guests walkinto FairfaxCounty Supervi-sor Michael Frey’s

office in Chantilly, they are likelyto be greeted first not by an ad-ministrative assistant, but by Frey’sGerman shepherd Boomer.

Some elected officials might bewary of bringing a dog to workwith them. After all, not every con-stituent will be a fanof seeing a 105-poundGerman shepherdtrotting toward them,especially if he is noton a leash.

But Frey, a Republi-can who representsthe Sully District,brings his dog to theoffice with him most days. Boomeralso accompanies Frey to severalpublic events, like parades andLittle League baseball games.

“Almost universally, people thinkit’s great. I have people from thecommunity who stop in regularlyjust to see him. Some people bringhim treats,” said the supervisor.

“I know some people aren’t ani-mal people but most of them re-act well. I think it humanizes theoffice,” he added.

EVER SINCE the Sully Districtoffice opened in 2003, Frey hasbrought a dog regularly to work.Before Boomer, Frey had otherGerman shepherds, Mosby andMarley, who also came to theChantilly site that is co-locatedwith the Sully District police sta-tion.

The supervisor has had dogs,almost always German shepherds,since he was about 10 years old.

“I love the look of German shep-herds and I like their attitude.They are so loyal. It is just the himand me and we are literally at-tached at the hip. Some otherbreeds of dog are little bit moreindependent,” said Frey.

The supervisor adopted Boomerand his other dogs from VirginiaGerman Shepherd Rescue, Inc.The organization takes in dogs

that are homeless,neglected or havebeen otherwise mis-treated by their own-ers.

According to Frey,Boomer had beenlargely ignored by hisprevious owner andkept escaping from

the backyard where he was kept.Eventually, the person said hewasn’t interested in keeping thedog anymore and Boomer wasturned over to the rescue organi-zation.

“My assistant jokes that Boomerwon the doggie lottery when Iadopted him,” said Frey.

IN ADDITION to Boomer, Freyalso keeps two guinea pigs and achinchilla in the Sully District of-fice.

He adopted the guinea pigs fromthe Fairfax County Animal Shelterabout two years ago. A previousguinea pig, which he originallygotten from his chief-of-staff, haddied.

“They are not like a dog but theyare fun to watch and fun to talk

Not Quite a ZooSupervisor keeps his dog,guinea pigs, and chinchilla athis Chantilly office most days.

“I think ithumanizesthe office.”

Police in Oakland, Calif.,have arrested and chargedtwo people with the July

18 killing of Fair Oaks residentJinghong Kang. The 45-year-oldfather of three had flown to theBay Area for a job interview withGoogle the next day, but insteadwas slain by two robbers.

Charged with armed robberyand homicide were a 33-year-oldwoman, and a 24-year-old man,both of Oakland. They’re believedto be girlfriend and boyfriend andare also considered suspects in asimilar shooting and robbery, June21, in the same city.

A network engineer, Kang leavesbehind his wife of 20 years, WendyWang, and their three sons, ages10, 12 and 17. And although Wangis glad police have made arrests,she knows it won’t change themost important thing — “my hus-band won’t come back.”

The night before his interviewwith Google in Mountain View,Kang had his teeth cleaned in Oak-land. Afterward, a female dentalhygienist was outside — helping

him enter directions to his hotelinto his rental car’s GPS system —when he was confronted by twoassailants, robbed and fatally shot.

P o l i c ethere offereda $20,000reward forinformationleading to anarrest, andthe publicc a m ethrough. The first of the two sus-pects, the man, was arrested Sat-urday, July 24, at 11:29 a.m. Threedays earlier, Oakland police hadreleased surveillance-camera pho-tos of a man and woman walkingtogether near the crime scene.

They hoped someone would rec-ognize either person and givethem a lead, and that’s what hap-pened. After these photos were

shown on local TV there, someonecalled police and identifiedwoman suspect.

According to the San FranciscoChronicle, thephotos were takenjust before theshooting, from avideo camera out-side an officebuilding, on theblock where Kangwas killed – andthe couple in the

photos reportedly matched thesuspects’ descriptions given by thedental hygienist.

In a statement released Monday,Oakland police thanked citizensthere for their help in apprehend-ing the suspects: “The informationreceived from the community wascrucial in the arrest of these twosuspects.”

denominational Christian church Kangand his family attended, has set up afund for them. Contributions may besent to the church at 2317 Morgan Lane,Dunn Loring, VA 22027

Lakes on Saturday, July 24.Traveling by van, this non-profit group hosts up

to five pet adoptions every Friday and Saturdaymorning in different locations from Falls Churchto Leesburg. The group focuses on taking animalsfrom “high-kill” shelters in Virginia and other

states, specifically those in rural areas where adop-tion is far less likely.

To date, the group’s founder Pam McAlwee hashelped place over 15,000 animals with new fami-lies since first starting the organization in 2001.With a staff of eight full-time employees at its mainanimal facility, the organization relies on over 300volunteers at weekend events who help walk, feedand care for the rescued animals.

This is the mother Lhasa Apso and her five puppies that my family and I fosteredfor the Fairfax County Animal Shelter. We had the puppies for three months. Dur-ing that time, we enjoyed seeing the puppies open their eyes, learn to crawl andfinally learn to walk and run. We also got many visits from friends and neighborsin our Chantilly Highlands neighborhood who wanted to see the puppies. At theend of the three months we gave the puppies back to the animal shelter. I am gladto say that all of the puppies and the mother were adopted to good homes.

We love our pets! Our dog Rocketwas born on Father’s Day five yearsago. Rocket is a beautiful WelshSpring Spaniel who, true to his breed,just wants to be with us. He’s a won-derful family dog who rings the sleighbells on the back door when he wantsto go out, loves to play fetch, toleratesall the cat’s licks and snuggles and ishappiest when we are all together inone room. Feeling inspired afterchurch, we adopted a tiny, fluffy,three-footed Maine Coon kitten fouryears ago. We were told that the um-bilical cord was wrapped around his foot at birth and to save him, his motherchewed off the foot. How thankful we are that we are not cats! Rascal might havebeen tiny when we got him but he is now happy “full-figured” cat. The lack of ahind foot doesn’t seem to bother him; he walks using his stump and picks it up whenhe runs. He’s very affectionate, loves the dog and is an avid licker. Rascal can gen-erally be found in three places – sitting next to Rocket at the front door, keepingtabs on everyone from the stairs or sleeping on someone’s bed.

NORTHERN EDITION

It would be easy, based on some measures,to say that some areas love their dogsmore than others, although we are quiteconfident that most families love their

dogs and other pets in a way that defies quan-tification.

Nevertheless, we will point out that the Cityof Alexandria, with a population of more than150,000 and more than 70,000 house-holds, is also home to 17 different dogparks, including both fenced and un-fenced areas for dogs to run free oftheir leashes and play with other dogs. (Na-tionally, 39 percent of households average 1.7dogs, so even assuming a normal level of dogownership in Alexandria (we suspect it exceedsnational numbers), there are likely more than46,000 dogs. That’s one dog park for every2,700.

In Fairfax County, with a population of about1,038,000 people and more than 393,000households, statistics would predict at least260,000 dogs, but only eight dog parks. That’sone dog park for every 32,000 dogs or so …

In Arlington, 217,000 people live in about103,000 households, and a statistically likely68,000 dogs also has eight dog parks, or onedog park for about every 8,500 dogs.

In Montgomery County, Md., about 970,000people live in about 364,000 households, andso probably about 240,000 dogs, and just fivedog parks, so more than 48,000 dogs per dog

park.Fortunately, we found no evidence of

overcrowded dog parks in any of ourareas, just happy dogs and owners en-

joying one of the amenities of this area. Andlots of dog parks mean less likelihood of dogowners running their dogs off their leashes inother less appropriate parks. In fact, the grow-ing numbers of dog parks are just one moreindicator of how important pets and animalsare to us.

A third of local households are likely homesto cats, with the average household with catshaving 2.4 cats, but there are not cat parks …Most “cat people” agree that cats are safer in-doors, although we all know exceptions.

Of all these animals, 19 percent of dogs and22 percent of cats are adopted from animalshelters. Most pets (75 percent of dogs, 87percent of cats) are spayed or neutered. Thereare so many pets that need homes, it’s a localand national crisis. If you are considering add-ing a pet to your family, please consider thehumane society, the shelter or a rescue orga-nization.

In the pages of our Pet Centre View this week,you’ll find stories of many families and theirpets, plus information on how and where toadopt dogs, cats, birds, small animals and evenhorses that desperately need homes.

For much more information, look online atwww.ConnectionNewspapers.com, and clickon Pet Connection.

If you’d like to share information about otherpet resources, or about your pet, we still lookforward to hearing from you.

Editorial

See Letters, Page 11

Keeping EyeOn the PrizeTo the Editor:

A number of community groups,newspapers, and local politicianshave criticized, often in stridenttones, some recent decisions of theFairfax County School Board. Thedecision to close Clifton Elemen-tary School is one such example.According to the critics, membersof the Board supposedly ignoredthe “wishes of the community,”and relied too heavily on the Su-perintendent and his professionalstaff. One editorial accused theBoard of depriving the citizens ofinformation, and adopting a “weknow what’s best” attitude. By ig-noring the unprecedented amountof information the School Boardmakes available and the open na-ture of the Board’s processes, thecritics miss the mark.

The voters of Fairfax Countyelected the School Board — notsingle issue or self-appointed“community watchdog” groups —to exercise responsible steward-ship over the education of our chil-dren. This means it is our job towork harder, study more, and ex-ercise sound judgment about whatworks best for all of Fairfax Countyand the children we serve. Itmeans that the loudest, most per-sistent voices do not always carrythe day, the supposed opinion of a“majority” of community membersis not always right, and what maybe the best decision for some com-munity advocates is not always thebest decision for all the children.

When former School BoardChair Bob Frye used to say wemust always “listen to the silence,”he was reminding us to take ac-count of the voices of those in ourCounty who do not organize e-mail and petition drives, who donot hold mass rallies, and whohave never written a letter to theeditor or a check to a candidatefor School Board. As a result, wesometimes make decisions that, asone Clifton resident wrote to aBoard member, “offend the richand powerful.” That comes withthe territory.

What should not come with theterritory, however, are disrespect-ful personal attacks on individualBoard members and their integrity,whether from community mem-bers or other elected officials. Andyet angry Clifton residents havesent hate mail to the homes ofSchool Board members and calledsome Board members names thatcannot be printed in the newspa-per. One so-called communitygroup has questioned not only theintegrity of the Board, but also thecompetence of the Superintendentand everyone who works for him.That group – which has yet to of-fer any support for the Board, itsbudget, or any of its decisions –apparently believes that recentgains in student achievement allhappened by magic. A member ofthe Virginia House of Delegatesaccused one School Board mem-ber of “throwing Clifton childrenunder the bus.” Still another offi-cial threatened political retaliation

Letters to the Editor

Aiden

Please HelpTo the Editor:

I am currently putting togethera silent auction for my friends’child who was diagnosed withRMS cancer a few months ago.The auction will be held on July31.

Aiden Lipscomb of Little RockyRun is a 7-month-old little boywho was recently diagnosed withcancer. He was admitted for pneu-monia and as they were testing thefluid in his lungs, they found it wasactually blood.

A malignant tumor was presenton the diaphragm. He was diag-nosed with Rhaddomyosarcoma,otherwise known as muscle can-cer. He is now going through a 56-week chemo/radiation cycle inwhich the family is going to haveto travel back and forth from D.C.to Boston for treatments. Insur-ance will cover some costs, butwith the family now living on oneincome it will be very difficult toafford the treatments Aiden

needs.We are putting together an auc-

tion to help raise funds for thefamily. The auction will featuresigned items from local athletes,memorabilia, spa and golf pack-ages, and much more. The auctionwill be held at the National Con-ference Center, 18980 UpperBelmont Place, in Leesburg, onJuly 31 from 1-4 p.m. All proceedsfrom the auction will benefitAiden’s recovery fund.

to. Mine seem to be very outgo-ing. The police have a guinea pigon their side of the building thatis very shy,” said Frey.

The chinchilla had belonged tothe son of a friend, who decidedhe didn’t want the pet anymore.The man had planned to give theanimal to the Fairfax County Ani-mal Shelter but Frey said he wouldtake him instead.

“People don’t realize what you

can get from the shelter. They aresurprised at the different type ofanimals they have,” said Frey.

Frey is leaving the door open togetting more pets, though hedoesn’t have any plans to adoptanother animal at this moment.

“I’d like to get a cat. I had catsgrowing up,” he said.

The supervisor is interested inbirds, possibly finches, for the of-fice, though he admitted his staffmight have objections to more petsin their workspace.

On warm summer evenings, Oscar (aherding-mix) and his companion ShannonAppleton often stroll from their nearbycondominium to the Grand Plaza atFairfax Corner. Occasionally, Appletontreats Oscar and herself to a gelato fromone of the several ice cream parlors. Theyhave been together for 8 years. Appletonwas in college in Flagstaff, Ariz. and fre-quently walked past a “bird and fish” petshop. One day, there were two puppies inthe window. Two puppies had been foundin a garbage can nearby. Appleton calledher mother on the east coast, asked if shecould bring a puppy home and the rest ishistory. Because of his origin, they feltcompelled to name him Oscar (after theSesame Street character who lives in agarbage can). “He’s my best friend andtravel buddy,” said Appleton. “He’s amega-swimmer, loves going to the beachand loves gelato. He is a wonderful com-panion.”

Mandi Cavanaugh and Alan Szymkowiak are with their 4-month old Chihuahua/Boston Terrier Mix, Hitchcock.Szymkowiak knew he wanted a small dog and had heardgood things about the mix. When he found a litter inNorth Carolina, there was no question that he andCavanaugh would drive down to pick up their new familymember. “He took to us immediately. He sleeps betweenus. He’s great. He is a total people dog,” saidSzymkowiak. They are Fairfax Corner residents and findthe area very dog friendly — they joke that sometimes it’stoo dog friendly because they can’t walk very far withoutHitchcock greeting visitors and visitors stopping to pethim.

Joyce Putnam, of Clifton, brings her Bou-vier des Flandres puppy Bonna to FairfaxCorner several times a week because sheloves the family atmosphere and dog-friendly nature of the area. She says it isimportant to get puppies used to ‘familynoises’ when they are young, and walkingaround the Grand Plaza watching thechildren play in the fountain and lettingeveryone pet Bonna and give her treatsprovides great socialization for the dog.“She’s very sensitive, a gentle giant, andgreat with the other dogs in our house.”

“Dogs are friends, fun, energetic

and playful,” said Brandon Librea

of Faircrest, pictured here with his

dog Shelby. Shelby adopted Bran-

don when he visited the Friends of

Homeless Animals shelter in

Loudon County two months ago.

Brandon was walking down an

aisle with dogs in cages and Shelby

put her paw up on the cage door,

as if to say, “Hello.” They’ve been

best friends ever since.

Mikey, a terrier mix harkens from

North Carolina. One day he followed

a nice woman home. That woman

couldn’t keep him, so, she took

some pictures and sent some emails

to try and find him a new home.

Fatina Smith of Fair Oaks works

with someone who got one of those

emails. She saw the picture and

decided she had to have him, so she

drove down to North Carolina to

pick him up. Dog ownership was a

‘real adventure’ until Smith discov-

ered the Fairfax County Park

authority’s Off-Leash Dog Areas.

After sampling several, Mikey

picked the Chantilly dog park. It’s

the only one where he’ll willingly

enter the gate, says Smith.

Jon Sorensen of Sully Station II

got a call from his father one day,

his father had just adopted a

Labrador and there was one puppy

left in the litter. That’s how

Sorensen and Otto met. “It’s the

best thing I ever did. The compan-

ionship, loyalty … he’s always

happy to see me come home.”

Sorensen and Otto are regulars at

the Chantilly dog park.

Chantilly resident Shahid Malik was quitebusy July 17 amidst lights, cameras,televisions, international guests and the

bustle of crowds while directing the AhmadiyyaMuslim Community, USA, 62nd Annual Convention.

He is the chairman of the organizing committeefor the event which tried to bring forward “a specialmessage — a message of peace and a message offaithfulness to your country.”

Thousands converged in Chantilly for this tradi-tional gathering of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Commu-nity, which has taken place annually for over 60 yearsin the United States and for over a 100 years world-wide. Held from July 16-18 at the Dulles Expo Cen-ter, the convention celebrated faith, peace and un-derstanding while entertaining a host of guests fromaround the area and around the world.

Since the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community NationalHeadquarters is in Silver Spring, Md., it was a natu-ral choice to hold the national convention nearby.Danisch Malik, a recent graduate from Chantilly HighSchool, was born into the Ahmadiyya community andvolunteered to help make this year’s convention flowsmoothly through public relations.

“My focus was to bridge the gap between the locallaw enforcement and fire departments,” DanischMalik said, “We got the master police officer and afireman first class who will be showing up from alocal police station here in Chantilly.”

He was one of the volunteers involved with theconvention. Whether it was helping with parking,security, registration, or set-up, volunteers were in-tegral components of the convention.

Danisch Malik believes that it’s important to in-crease American exposure to a different idea of Is-lam. “We’re all about peace. You’ve seen in the me-dia how a lot of Muslims are shown in a certain way,which is not what we believe in. We want to explainto the American public the right way Islam shouldbe portrayed — not violent,” he said.

One point of the conference was to emphasize na-tional loyalty among the Ahmadiyya. The AhmadiyyaMuslims believes in loyalty to the country to whicha citizen belongs. Shahid Malik said, “If I live here,this is my country and I should be loyal to this coun-try.”

These beliefs were echoed by many in the crowdas the audience reacted in cheers of approval andcries of “U.S.A.” in response to declarations of Ameri-can patriotism and statements in support of separa-tion of church and state.

These messages were embraced by governmentrepresentatives at the special session on Saturday,where guests from Fairfax County and Congress hadthe chance to speak.

“We consider our diversity one of our greatest as-sets,” Chairman of the Board of Supervisors SharonBulova said, welcoming the convention to FairfaxCounty. “I very much appreciate and admire yourmessage of love, your message of peace and yourmessage of building a community.”

On the congressional level, U.S. Rep. GeraldConnolly later appeared at the convention in a showof support for the Ahmadiyya community’s “tradi-tion of tolerance, the tradition of separation ofmosque and state, the tradition of involvement inand support for the community in which you live.”He thanked the community for what they do for boththe community and the United States as a whole,while hoping that “more of our fellow human beingswill share in your tradition.”

According to other speakers at the convention, theinternational Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, withorigins in India, has developed a strong, but “silent”community since arriving in the United States in thelast century. However, in recent years the commu-nity has been taking steps to communicate to Mus-lims and Americans alike its own unique Muslimbeliefs summarized in the motto “Love for all, ha-tred for none,” which was on a banner displayed atthe convention.

NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT and Missionary-in-charge Naseem Mahdi shared what set theAhmadiyya apart from other Muslim sects. Besidesbeing the only sect that believes that the Messiahalready arrived in the form of Mirza Ahmad in Indiain 1835, Mahdi focused on the relationship betweenIslam and government.

Mahdi clarified for all attendees how theAhmadiyya Muslims interpret Islam and the Quran,their central religious text. Quoting the Quran, “Al-lah loves not disorder,” and “Oh ye who believe! ObeyAllah and obey His messenger and those who are inauthority among you,” Mahdi demonstrated that Is-lam is not about “jihad of the sword” or fighting non-Muslim governments. As the Holy ProphetMohammed was quoted: “Love of your homeland,your place of residence, is a part of your faith.”

‘Love for All, Hatred for None’Chantilly hosts NationalMuslim Convention.

season, and attributes much of theMarlins’ success to the year-roundswim programs that many of hisswimmers participate in.

“We benefit from the condition-ing that a winter swim programoffers an athlete, and the oppor-tunity to focus on stroke and turnin 52 weeks, rather than just theeight weeks of a summer swimteam,” said Thorne.

Many of the ManorGate Marlins

will get to extend their summerswim season as they compete inthe Blue Divisionals this Saturday,July 31, with some already pos-tured for the Colonial SwimLeague All-Stars on Aug. 7.

Neck and neck at the start of thebackstroke leg, Sully Station ral-lied, winning more than half theevents. Grabbing both top spots inthe 25-backstroke, 8-under’s Aus-tin Debrody and Elise Mozeleskiset the pace for the rest of themeet. Mozeleski swam a personalbest, beating out her nearest com-petitor, teammate JessicaDickinson, by nearly three sec-onds. Katie Stulga claimed the

If I’ve said it once, over the past 17 months(nearly to the day), I’ve said it a hundred times: Icouldn’t have endured my cancer treatment andsubsequent lifestyle changes if Cappuccino andBiscuit, our two cats, had not been in my lifeand provided the nurturing nuzzles only cats canoccasionally provide. The comfort, and joy, andstress reduction, that their constant attentionand proximity to me created (they are both onthe dining room table at this very moment as Iattempt to write between tail swipes), along withtheir desire to be petted, has provided a less-than-thrilled cancer patient some real emotionalrelief, especially during chemotherapy initiallyand eventually through my date of destiny (the13th month of my original 13-month-to-two-year prognosis) and presently, as life has gone onwith better-than-expected scan results, as youregular readers may recall.

Part of the cancer process/experience (someexperience) has involved real treatment: chemo-therapy, diagnostic scans and X-Rays, regular labwork, physical examinations by my oncologist,change in diet (including ingestion of someimmunology-supporting pills and miscellaneoussupplements) and lifestyle (exercise), daily con-sumption of alkaline water, among otherchanges; and some has involved un-”real” treat-ment: positive attitude, reduction of stress, andhaving animals in my life/home. In fact, if itwere not for these two feline brothers rubbingagainst my arms, I don’t think I could haveexhibited the kind of positive attitude I have andexperienced the reduction in stress as well,important considerations which health care pro-fessionals often cite as non-medical-type meanswhich might prevent the less-than-ignominious-end many terminal patients experience. Thoughthese kinds of beneficial effects are not exactlywritten about in chapter and verse, the healthcare providers with whom I regularly interacthave been most encouraging and respectful tothose patients (me in particular) fortunateenough to find a way to integrate such anecdo-tal assets into their treatment.

Anecdotally speaking then, I would say, themost tangible example of this non-medical-typeeffect which my two cats have provided, is com-panionship: I have never felt alone in all thesemonths fighting this disease. And “Loneliness” asM*A*S*H’s Capt. Hawkeye Pierce (Alan Alda)advised Corp. Radar O’Reilly, (Gary Burgoff) inresponse to Radar’s discomfort regarding hiswidowed mother’s recent dating, “is all it’scracked up to be.”

In addition, their companionship has givenme, on occasion, something to do that neededto get done: feeding, treating, litter box clean-ing, playing; in general, taking care of somebodyother than myself. And it’s those animal respon-sibilities, I think, that helped push me/pull meforward. Oddly enough, it was a care and con-cern for others (“the Buff Boys” as we call them)that comforted me most during my darkest daysas I struggled with my own cancer-relateddemons. And though cats may not reciprocatetheir affections for their owners the way dogstypically do: licking, tail wagging, coming-when-you-call-them/following commands; neverthe-less, there are signs of affection from cats: theyget in your way, they sit or rest/sleep nearby(occasionally even touching you), they rub upagainst you as they sort of walk away, and some-times, they even lick you. For cat owners, thesmallest signs - from their cats - carry the biggestmeaning: a paw placed on your body some-where, a tail curled up under your nose or jaw,a night spent sleeping in your closet and/or ontop of your clothes/laundry, secure with yourscent.

They do care, and in their caring, I havefound comfort and serenity. It’s a good thing,too, because I really needed to find something.Cappuccino and Biscuit are not just “some-thing,” they’re everything! I couldn’t have madeit without them, yet again.
