The grand prizewinner will be randomly drawn.The student with most nominations—or “votes”—will win an outing for eight, compliments of FunCompany Events at Dulles Golf Center.

About six years ago, Angolia and her goddaughterwere brainstorming marketing ideas that engagedthe community, doing something to recognize highschool students, which her goddaughter was at thattime. The teen thought up the idea of a prom con-test and Angolia expanded the project to include allNorthern Virginia high schools. Other local businesseswere quick to partner with Karin’s Florist.

Nowadays, corsages start at about $30 and go up

Late last year Vienna’s Freeman Store build-ing was honored with inclusion on theNational Register of Historic Places. LastSaturday, Vienna residents, local dignitar-

ies, town council members and passers-by gatheredat the historic site to watch the unveiling of the newplaque.

The celebration included performances by theJames Madison High School Madrigals, and the eu-phonious Vienna Community Band. Four membersof American Legion 17th District presented the col-ors.

“No place has a sense of itself if it doesn’t have asense of history,” U.S. Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-11),said at the ceremony. “Vienna certainly does have asense of history.”

He reminded visitors of the important role that TheFreeman Store played in history. Many know thatthe building changed hands several times during theCivil War. It served as a military hospital, and as amilitary station for both the Union and the Confed-eracy. But many may not know that even afterAppomattox, the building was used by the military,explained Connolly. The man who killed Lincoln’sassassin, John Wilkes Booth, was stationed at theFreeman Store. Boston Corbett was sent out with acompany of men to hunt Booth down. He eventuallyfound him, shot him, and Booth died a few hourslater. Corbett then returned to his station at the Free-man Store.

The store was also the site of one of the secession-ist votes. State Sen. Chap Petersen (D-34) explainedthat when the new state that became West Virginiabroke away from Virginia, both Fairfax and Loudoncounties were on the original map to be includedwith the new state. But in the end, the new statelegislature decided not to include them.

Vienna resident Bonnie Salzberg brought herdaughter Abigail to the festivities. Abigail is a fifthgrader who “loves the store,” said Salzberg. “We’re

The kinetic sculpture—16-feet-tall, with brightblue and green swirling

arrows—looks like a classicAlexander Calder mobile onexhibit at the National Galleryof Art.

But this visually striking mo-bile is planted in front ofOakton Elementary School, thenew capstone of the school’s$18 million two-year renova-tion project.

The towering artwork, de-signed in collaboration withOES students and sculptor-in-residence Kevin Reese, wasdedicated during a school cer-emony Friday, April 5.

“It is a type of sculptureknown as a ‘swirling stabile,’meaning that the highest por-tion freely rotates in thebreeze,” said Martha AllenGodin, the school’s cultural artscoordinator and longtime PTAmember, who spearheaded theart project. “The design incor-porates a Panther Paw repre-senting the school’s Panthermascot. It also includes arrowspointing in many directionssymbolizing the many possibili-ties opened up through educa-tion, student figures and a star.”

DURING A FIVE-DAY PE-RIOD last week, the PTAhosted Reese, who worked with

more than 300 students infourth, fifth and sixth grades tohelp create the permanent ki-netic sculpture for the school.Students helped design, mea-sure, cut, sand, paint and as-semble the sculpture, givingthem a hands-on experience ofthe creative process.

“Students get a tremendoussense of ownership in the re-sult,” Reese said. Since 2001,Reese, a sculptor and actor, hasworked nationwide with thou-sands of children to build morethan 90 moving pieces of pub-lic art, including sculptures atSaratoga Elementary School inSpringfield and Hunter WoodsElementary in Fairfax.

“My goal is to allow them tosee something they’ve had ahand in from beginning to end.It’s a powerful feeling for them.”

Godin said the blue and greencolors reflect the school colorsand mirror the decorative tilingin the new portion of the build-ing.

“While Kevin Reese has com-pleted many school sculpturessince 2001, he says that this isthe first one he has ever donethat is positioned in a raised bednearly 5 feet off the ground.When combined with the heightof the art piece itself, this meansthe sculpture will reach nearlyto the school’s new roof,” Godinsaid.

Public art project caps two-yearrenovation of school.

Artists at WorkAt Oakton Elementary

Last week, more than 300 Oakton Elementary stu-dents worked with artist Kevin Reese, a sculptor-in-residence, to design and build this high-flying, swirl-ing mobile unveiled during a dedication ceremony atthe school on Friday, April 5.

Men donned tux-edos; womenwore glitteringformal dresses,

and children dressed in their co-tillion finest.

But stuffiness was not invited tothis black-tie gala.

As MC Andrew laid down hip-hop, old school and swingingSinatra tunes, dozens of childrenand their parents danced and par-tied at the annual “Dress Up withGrown-ups Gala,” hosted by theMedical Care for Children Partner-ships (MCCP) at the Mason InnSaturday night, April 6.

Former Redskin player CharlesMann, the master of ceremonies,and Dr. Angel Cabrera, presidentof George Mason University, wel-comed 250 guests to the annualfundraiser, which included manyNorthern Virginia business leadersand local legislators.

“Children’s health is our mission,and children are a special part ofour celebration tonight,” said AlanHarbitter, president of the MCCPFoundation Board of Directors.

“We really want everyone to havea fun and memorable time.”

Judging from the laughter andsmiles on the dance floor, they did.

Although the gala was a child-centered celebration—featuring amagician, caricaturist and firetruck—the MCCP Foundation hasa serious mission.

THE PUBLIC-PRIVATE PART-NERSHIP funds healthcare forthe children of uninsured workingfamilies in Fairfax County. MCCP-eligible children, many of whomare immigrants, have working par-ents who don’t have access tohealth insurance and whose in-comes are too high for Medicaidbut too low for adequate, regularhealthcare. For a family of four inFairfax County, the annual incomelevel cut-off is about $55,000, saidMCCP Executive Director MargeryLeveen Sher.

“We want these children to havethe care that any other child has,”Sher said. “It’s a great cost savingsfor the community, because with-out MCCP, they would go to theemergency room, and probably bea lot sicker and need more care.We are often the last safety net.”

Sher said the nonprofit founda-tion currently provides medicaland dental care to approximately2,500 uninsured children in low-income families in Fairfax County,and last year spent $172,000 onchildren’s dental care alone. Shesaid approximately $600 coversthe dental care needs for one child,and estimates about 9,000 chil-dren need the help of MCCP.

The MCCP Foundation alsomarked a milestone at the gala:providing $1 million in healthcarecosts to Fairfax County’s childrenof low income, uninsured families.

“I like the combination of cor-porations, healthcare providersand public entities coming to-gether to provide a leveragedmodel for taking care of thehealthcare needs of FairfaxCounty’s working poor. … It’s anenriching, rewarding, innovativeorganization,” MCCP Foundationboard member Harry Klaff said.

Partners of MCCP includeFairfax County government, cor-porations and individual financialsupporters. Kaiser Permanenteand 300 doctors and dentists pro-vide low or no-cost care to MCCPchildren. Sher said Fairfax Countyprovides case management forfamilies, and support that includestransportation, language assis-tance and help accessing specialtycare.

ers, like Kaiser Permanente, thecounty and the foundation that fillsa critical need in our county—healthand dental care for children thatwould not otherwise have access toit,” said Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield), who attended the eventwith his wife Nancy.

Herrity said MCCP “has a specialplace in my heart” because of hisfather’s involvement in its formationmore than 25 years ago. “It is a greatexample of personal and corporateresponsibility and giving.”

ONE OF THE EVENING’S HIGH-LIGHTS was the presentation of theDr. Jorge Arnoldson memorialaward. Arnoldson, a pediatricianwho passed away in 2009, was oneof the original doctors of the MCCPprogram in 1988. The award is givento a person who embodies Dr.Arnoldson’s credo that “giving is amatter of conscience.”

Dr. Tehreem Butt, of Fairfax Fam-ily Dentistry, received the award.

“Dr. Butt has provided a welcom-ing dental home to our children formany years, and he is always will-ing to provide care in an emergency,”Harbitter said. “He always treats ourchildren just like other patients inhis practice, with kindness and com-passion.”

“I like to see children smile,” Buttsaid as he accepted his award. “Iwant to help them stay out of pain.When they come to my office, some-times they are kicking and scream-ing, but they leave happy. That’s thebest part of my profession.”

Born and raised in Lahore, Paki-stan, Butt attended dentistry school at the NishtarMedical College in Multan. In 1986, he emigrated tothe United States and completed a two–year dentalprogram at New York University. In 2007, he and hisfamily moved to Centreville, and he opened hisFairfax practice in 2008.

“Since then I have had the pleasure of treatingchildren referred by MCCP. This experience has givena totally new meaning to my dental profession,” Butt

said. “To me, children are the most beautiful crea-tures of God and there is nothing comparable to be-ing able to give them a healthy and happy smile.”

Event sponsors included: Kaiser Permanente, JonesLang LaSalle, Quest Diagnostics, INOVA, ICF Inter-national, Reston Hospital Center, and CareFirstBlueCross BlueShield.

Opinion

The most hotly contested race forstatewide office in Virginia, theRepublican contest for lieutenantgovernor, will be decided at a state-

wide convention on May 18. That’s about amonth from now.

A statewide Democratic primary will takeplace June 11.

On Nov. 5, all eyes will turn to Virginia tofollow the conclusion of a fascinating race forgovernor. Democrat Terry McAuliffe will faceRepublican Ken Cuccinelli in a contest that willappeal to more conservative Republi-cans and more liberal Democrats.

The race will feature massive effortsto turn out the vote. Mailboxes will fillup with glossy mailers. Airwaves willno doubt reflect the election.

Wait, didn’t we just do this?Yes, but in 2013, Virginia will choose gover-

nor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, andall 100 members of the House of Delegates.Arlington voters will also elect one member tothe county board and one member to the schoolboard. City of Alexandria voters will also electa commonwealth’s attorney and sheriff.

And it won’t be simple.Right now it appears that there are seven

Republican candidates, two Democratic can-didates and an Independent Green candidaterunning for lieutenant governor.

Republicans will choose from their sevencandidates at a statewide convention on May

18. Here are the names of the seven:Jeannemarie Devolites Davis (R), former statesenator and wife of former U.S. Rep. TomDavis; E.W. Jackson Sr. (R); L. ScottLingamfelter (R), state delegate; Steve Martin(R), state senator; Jeff McWaters (R), statesenator; Pete Snyder (R); Corey Stewart (R),Prince William County Board chair, and SusanStimpson (R), Stafford County Board chair.

Democrats will choose a candidate for lieu-tenant governor in the statewide primary onJune 11; candidates are Aneesh Chopra (D)

and state Sen. Ralph Northam (D).Two Republicans and two Democrats

appear to be running for attorney gen-eral: Democrats Justin Fairfax and stateSen. Mark Herring would face off in

the June 11 primary. Republicans would choosebetween candidates Del. Rob Bell (R) and stateSen. Mark Obenshain (R) at the state-wide con-vention May 18.

Town of Vienna voters will elect three mem-bers of its town council on May 7.

Virginia has a General Election every yearon the Tuesday following the first Monday inNovember; that’s Nov. 5, this year. Federal of-fices are elected in even-numbered years. Stateand local offices are elected in odd-numberedyears. If primaries are called by the politicalparties, they are held on the second Tuesdayin June; that’s June 11, this year.

This is a formula for election fatigue, alter-nating record voter turnout with tepid voter

turnout. Realigning Virginia’s election calen-dar so that the critical statewide races tookplace in presidential election years would in-crease voter participation, although this changeis not simple and not likely.

The Virginia General Assembly voted thisyear to impose much more stringent voter iden-tification requirements starting in July 2014,an unnecessary step that suppresses the votesof poor, elderly and minority voters. Instead,they should fund an annual mailing to all reg-istered voters that summarizes what and whowill be on the ballot. This would increase theintegrity of elections, giving all voters a chanceto arrive at the polls informed and engaged.

Editorial

Alarmed bySchool NamesTo the Editor:

Am I the only one alarmed bythe presence of high schoolsnamed after confederate leaders?After our nation’s long and divi-sive war, symbols of bigotryabound; this, however, is onlyamplified as a problem when thesymbol is a high school.

To be clear, the “War of North-ern Aggression” (as it is ridicu-lously called in some areas), andVirginia’s part in it, are things tobe ashamed of, not to glorify. Forc-ibly legitimizing treasonous vil-lains, and allowing our children tobe the recipient of our preposter-

ous revisionism is wrong.For example: The following high

schools should be changing theirnames immediately:

Robert E Lee High SchoolJEB Stuart High SchoolFairfax High School (Rebels)Stonewall Jackson High SchoolTo erroneously fight your coun-

try is wrong. To erroneously fightyour country for your right to en-slave is worse. To glorify thosewho have erroneously fought theircountry for their right to enslaveis the worst thing we could be do-ing.

A Photo ID:Victory forVotersTo the Editor:

The voters of Virginia won agreat victory when GovernorMcDonnell signed SB 1256, whichchanges Virginia’s law to requirea recent photo ID as the only ac-ceptable identification for voting.Thus, a positive identification cannow be made with a visual checkto verify that the person comingto vote is actually who he claimsto be. The existing law allows anumber of passive identifiers suchas a voter registration card or evena utility bill which proves nothingother than that the person has inhis possession a piece of paperwith a name and address on it. Theperson’s identity is not verified.

Voters across the common-wealth now can be assured thattheir individual vote will not benullified by a fraudulent vote.Opponents of this bill will arguethat there is no evidence of fraudu-lent voting and thus SB 1256 at-tempts to solve a problem thatdoes not exist. However, whennon-verifiable identification is al-

lowed, it is virtually impossible toidentify and convict fraudulentvoters except in the most flagrantof cases where multiple votes areproven to be cast by a single voteror where the person attempting tovote is clearly known not to be thevoter listed in the registrationbook.

Photo identification has becomea necessary requirement for manyof our routine daily activities. Yet,somehow opponents of this billbelieve that proving our identityto exercise our constitutional rightto vote is less important than prov-ing our identity before boardingan airplane or cashing a check ata bank or donating blood. Sincethe new law provides for freephoto IDs to be issued to those fewwithout one, it is meaningless toclaim that requiring a photo ID forvoting will disenfranchise variousgroups such as the poor, the eld-erly and minority groups. In fact,studies from other states haveshown just the opposite result.Voter registration and turnouthave actually increased withinthese groups after enactment of aphoto ID law.

Each lot has enough space, often infront as well as in back, for extensivegardens, along with decorative arbors,borders and winding paths; small andlarge pools; patios; and decks. Inmany cases, professional landscapershave helped to design the layout andcontent of the gardens. The tour book-let will list in detail the varieties ofplants, shrubs and trees present, aswell as other landscape features. TheCountryside area is known as one ofthe most beautiful neighborhoods ofMcLean when the gardens are inbloom.

The Connection

The Oakton baseball team startedstrong on a sunny Saturday af-ternoon, April 6, scoring threeruns in the first inning. But

while the Cougars came out with a bang, itwas a blast by Madison senior Ben Socherthat put the finishing touch on a lopsidedWarhawks victory.

Socher launched a two-run homer in thetop of the seventh inning, putting an excla-mation point on an 11-3 Madison victoryduring the battle of Vienna at Oakton HighSchool. The Cougars came into the contestundefeated and ranked No. 4 in the North-ern Region, but failed to hold a 3-0 lead asthe No. 1 Warhawks came storming back.

“We knew Oakton was hot coming intothis game being undefeated,” Socher said,“but we knew if we just kept at it, kept withour hitting approach at the plate, kept play-ing defense, we’d be fine.”

Madison improved to 9-1, earning itsninth straight win after dropping its seasonopener to Fairfax on March 20. TheWarhawks took the lead for good with fourruns in the third inning, including a two-run single by third baseman Dan Powers.

“We know they’re a good team, but thisis always a fun game to play,” Powers said.

“Everyone’s grown up in Vienna and weknow all the guys on that team. It’s just afun game to play.”

Madison added three runs in the fourth,including a two-run single by designatedhitter Michael Nielsen, who finished withtwo hits. Socher, Powers, shortstop AndyMcGuire and first baseman Patrick Eason

also had two hits.Oakton suffered its first loss after a 7-0

start.“[Madison] answered back, they did what

they needed to do and then we just couldn’tget it going again,” Oakton head coach Jus-tin Janis said. “… We need to take the rightlessons from it. We need to learn how to

respond when things aren’t going our way.”Third baseman Dale Good had two hits

and an RBI for Oakton. Shortstop MitchellCarroll had a two-run double.

“We have 10 [Concorde District] gamescoming up,” Good said, “and we have torealize this game doesn’t mean anything forthat part of our season.”

Sophomore Brian Eckert started on themound for Madison and pitched three in-nings, allowing three earned runs. JuniorNick Brady pitched three-and-a-half perfectinnings of relief before sophomore JohnDeFazio got the final two outs.

“This one’s for pride,” Madison headcoach Mark Gjormand said. “… It’s goodfor the school, good for the community,good for the region.”

Madison remained No. 1 in this week’sedition of the Northern Region coaches poll.The Warhawks hosted Langley on Tuesday,April 9, after The Connection’s deadline.Madison will host McLean at 6:30 p.m. onFriday, April 12.

Oakton moved up to No. 3 in the poll.The Cougars hosted Herndon on Tuesday,after The Connection’s deadline. Oaktonwill host Chantilly at 6:30 p.m. on Friday,April 12.

“Our students loved workingwith Kevin and were so proud oftheir creation,” said OES PrincipalChristine Gray. “This is an experi-ence they will never forget, andthe art is something they can comeback and see year after year.”

The school’s top-to-bottom reno-vation project, which began in2010, was designed to improve thebuilding’s aesthetics and comfort,as well as enhance the learningenvironment for students andteachers. The renovation addedmore than 20,000 square feet tothe building, increasing the spacefrom 70,000 square feet to ap-proximately 91,000 square feet, inpart to accommodate the pro-jected increase in student popula-tion from 700 to more than 750students in 2014.

In addition to high-speedInternet access, the refurbishedclassrooms now have brighterlighting and an audio enhance-ment system which allows thevoice of the teacher and soundfrom the computer to be equallydistributed throughout the room.

THE RENOVATION also in-cluded major improvements to thebuilding’s infrastructure: theschool’s fire suppression and secu-rity systems were updated, andnew state-of-the-art HVAC systemsand high-efficiency boilers wereinstalled.

A high-tech media center withstudent/teacher workstations re-placed the school’s retro andcramped library space. The mediacenter is located in a new wing of

the school that includes a centrallylocated main office and new class-room space.

Originally built in 1913 as a highschool—when Woodrow Wilsonbecame president and most resi-dents rode bikes and electric trol-leys—the school was rebuilt as anelementary school after burningdown in 1945.

ing Meditation, a video of King’s “I Havea Dream” speech, readings of World PeacePrayers, and music from the diverse choirMosaic Harmony—a powerfully energeticway to mark the end of the joyous occa-sion.

As the last act of the night, Mosaic Har-mony took the stage to end the ceremonywith three inspiring songs. The choir, which

is comprised of 21 different faiths itself,sang with enthusiasm that got the audienceon its feet.

“Peace is a power; it has to be more thana philosophy,” said Mosaic Harmony Direc-tor David North. “We not only just singabout it, but try to encourage one anotherto live it. The diversity of the evening wasreally beautiful. It showed people of differ-ent backgrounds singing the same songabout how we need peace. That’s neat—to

join together as a community, and to pro-claim and affirm that together.”

The Season of Nonviolence, which ranfrom Jan. 30 to April 4 this year, was startedby the Association of Global New Thought.While it was the first time in a few yearsthat Unity of Fairfax took part in the cam-paign, Season of Nonviolence Team LeaderDonna N. Lee was happy with the turnout—and she wasn’t the only one.

“I went to the opening ceremony and was

really moved so I wanted to come tonight,”said Fairfax resident Charlene Brown. “[TheSeason of Nonviolence means] bringingawareness that people can live together inharmony and it starts with us—right here,right now.”

“Tonight was a way of saying we can dothis,” said Reverend Heiland. “Regardlessof any obstacle that has come before us,there is always an idea, always a way, tobridge that [obstacle] and move through it.”
