The Connection
When SusanCassell’s 16-year-old border colliemix Cleo died in
September 2014, she was devas-tated. In memory of her belovedpet, she wanted to bring thecommunity’s animal lovers andtheir furry friends together forwhat would become one of her fa-vorite times of year: “Howl-O-Ween.”
Now in its third year, Howl-O-Ween at Lake Anne Plaza, an ani-mal costume contest and parade,has grown from a crowd of 57 tail-wagging pets to an estimated 400costumed critters.
“I thought it would just be funfor the neighbors,” says Cassell,who works as the community’sproperty manager, while wearinga Queen of Hearts costume.
PetMAC, a petstore and adop-tion center, and the other localmerchants chip in prizes for thecontest and make arrangements so that theplaza is friendly to those with fur.
“We just wanted to create an event to in-corporate pets into Halloween; a pet-friendly environment,” says Eve Thompson,owner of Lake Anne Coffee House. Her 7-year-old French bull dog named Scoutwould not be participating because “she’stoo cute,” she says. “It wouldn’t be fair.”
But that excuse didn’t stop people fromthroughout northern Virginia from show-ing up to show off their favored pets.
Stephanie Kolar brought her pet namedBeast from Arlington. He is a 7-year-oldrabbit. She even made him a hand-sewnbanana split costume. “I’m not sure howlong it took,” she says. “I just made it whilewatching TV.”
While canines were the most abundant,there were also a few cats in attendance.
The competition has five categories:Scariest, Cutest, Crossdresser (animalsdressed as another species), Best Couple(pair of animals or animal and human com-binations) and Most Creative. The Cutestcategory is the most popular every year andis the most competitive.
Lake Anne residents JoAnne Eckhardt,Beverly Wicker and Bonnie Vona judged thecompetition and decided which animalswon in each category.
“We’ve waited 65 million years for this,”Ben Moore of Herndon said to the judgesas he and his 6-year-old schitzu namedBeanie walked up to the judging table whilewearing matching green dinosaur costumes.This comment made all three of the judgeschuckle.
Jonathan Campbell of Herndon and hisgirlfriend Lori Ager also entered the Best
Couple category with their dog Sadie, an8-year-old black labrador retriever. As apresidential candidate and her campaignstaff, the dog’s platform included, “threemeals a day and deporting all of the Chi-huahuas back to Mexico,” Campbell told thejudges.
After all of the 40 plus animals posed forthe judges, Lake Anne residents Ric McKeeand Joy Oran Burg led the crowd—boththose who entered the costume competitionand those who were just enjoying the sunnyday in costume— from the steps of theWashington Plaza Baptist Church aroundthe plaza and down the doc for the parade.
After the parade and costume results wereannounced, Melanie Cross and her pugs, 7-year-old Roxy dressed as a cheeseburgerand 8-year-old Sailor dressed as a hot dog,went to the beer garden for “Yappy Hour”
at Lake Anne Brew House.Cross was enjoying the
brewery’s Concrete Blonde alewith Anna and Andy Gibson. TheGibsons brought a 7-year-oldmaltese named Penny. They arefostering the dog until it can beadopted as part of their volunteerwork with New Love Animal Res-cue in Herndon.
“We wanted to get in on thefun,” says Melissa Romano, ownerof the brewery, which opened itsdoors only six months ago.
She had to extend the smallbrewery’s outdoor patio to createthe dog-friendly beer garden forthe special event. She says she onlygets four permits per year from thedepartment of agriculture andhealth for special accommodationssuch as this.
Lake Anne Brew House onlybrews 65 gallons at a time anddoes not bottle, but only sells onsite. “It’s all hand-crafted, frommilling the grain to the finishedproduct,” Romano says. Whilemost beer taps are powered by car-
bon dioxide, some of her taps use nitrogen.“CO2 is the typical way to condition and
serve beer,” she says. “Our nitro taps give asmoother and creamier pour.”
Because of this, the nitro taps are usuallyreserved for her stouts. This weekend theLord Fairfax English Pale Ale, which wonsecond place in its category at the VirginiaCraft Brewers Guild’s 2016 Virginia CraftBeer Cup this summer, was offered usingthe nitrogen.
The Reston Market at Lake Anne Plazaruns every week from the first Saturday ofMay through the first Saturday of Novem-ber, which means the season ends this com-ing Saturday.
If Cleo were alive today, Cassell says “shewould have thought Howl-O-Ween waspretty cool” way to help bring the open airmarket to a close.
Couple Nathan Mateer and Genevieve Siegel dressed Petey, a 3-year-oldChihuahua mixed breed, as a dirty martini and entered him into theMost Creative category of the costume contest.
Linus, Kim Greenberger’s dachshund and maltese mixed breed —known as a mauxie— in his lobster costume, happily barks at a tigerthat crossed his path in the plaza: 20-month-old Julia Earle. Hermom, Brigitta Earle steps in to calm them down.
Susan Cassell, Lake Anne property manager, ushers contestants into the judging area inher Queen of Hearts costume from the book “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.”

The Connection
Holiday weight
gain betweenHalloween andNew Year’s Eve is
not only common, a new studypublished in the New EnglandJournal of Medicine found theissue to be global. Researcherstracked the weight of nearly3,000 people in the UnitedStates, Germany and Japan,and found that every single per-son studied gained weight dur-ing the period of time from Oc-tober to January.
“Some people … just give upon [weight management] dur-ing the holiday season. WithHalloween candy, Thanksgivingand then Christmas, I thinksome people say, ‘I’m just goingto deal with it in the New Year,’”said Domenica M. Rubino, M.D., of the WashingtonCenter for Weight Management and Research in Ar-lington. “It’s easy to get derailed that way. It’s betterto say, ‘How am I going to manage it?
What different ways can I celebrate?’”In fact, Rubino advises patients to consider start-
ing a weight-management program before the holi-day season. “It gives them a little extra structureduring the holidays,” she said.
There are a few, simple ways to combat those holi-day pounds today. “From a nutrition perspective, startthinking about it now,” said Dietician LaurenTrocchio. “Know that you’ll be at a party or a dinnerand there will be a lot of food accessible to you andhave a plan.”
Avoid arriving at a party on an empty stomach.“Keep up with a routine so you’re not too hungry,”said Psychotherapist Raquel Willerman. You will havea better chance of making a wise food choice if you’renot starving.”
Also, be aware of what food traditions may bemost important or memorable. “For some people,it doesn’t feel like it’s the holidays if we don’t havesweet potatoes with marshmallows on top or
mashed potatoes with gravy, even if those foodchoices are a detriment to their health,” saidRubino.
Therefore, watching alco-hol consumption and prac-ticing portion control ratherthan forgoing temptingfoods altogether are amongTrocchio’s recommenda-tions.
“If you’re going to haveholiday cocktails, your inhi-bitions might be lower, soyou can try limiting yourcocktails and alternatingthem with seltzer,” saidTrocchio. “Rather than sub-stituting fat free versions offood that you want, practiceportion control.”
Caring for one’s emo-tional well-being can miti-gate the risk of over eatingas well. “Know ahead oftime that a lot of things willbe overwhelming,” saidWillerman. “There will bean increased number offamily members in close
proximity, there could be traveling, the amount offood, there are a lot of overwhelming things hap-pening at once.”
Such mindfulness practices can help people avoidemotional eating traps. “Going home can be stress-ful during the holidays,” said Rubino. “It can be atrigger to use food to help calm and cope.”
To manage feelings of anxiety or stress in such situ-ations, Willerman recommends diaphragmaticbreathing — also known as belly breathing or deepbreathing. “Take 10 breaths and push your stomachout like a balloon, she said. “It forces a kind of relax-ation response to help you not feel overwhelmed.When people get overwhelmed, you become moreof an emotional thinker and it’s more difficult to thinkthrough and activate the plan.”
In addition to a dietary plan, an exercise plan iscritical, too. “Ask yourself, ‘What am I going to dowhen the weather gets colder?’ said Rubino. “Plan-ning is most important going into the season. Youneed winter transition exercises. ... You can get thewhole family involved with an activity like danc-ing with a Wii. You can start some kind of tradi-tion with an activity that gets people outside.”
Advanced planning is keyto keeping off pounds.

VOTING ON THE QUESTIONS:Here are our recommendations:
Vote YES for the MEALS TAX. FairfaxCounty needs to find alternatives tothe real estate tax, and in Virginia,there are not many options allowed to
localities. This is one of the few alternativesavailable, and it requires a referendum.
Vote YES for the three Fairfax County BondQuestions: Vote YES for Transportation; voteYES for Parks; Vote Yes for Human Services.
Vote NO on on Question One. This anti-unionlanguage is already Virginia law; it doesn’tbelong in the Virginia Constitution.

Since creation ofthe FairfaxCounty Police
Department (FCPD)76 years ago, when-ever one of its of-ficers was in-volved in or al-leged to havebeen involved ina killing or serious injury of a ci-vilian, abuse of power or other se-rious misconduct, the incident wasinvestigated by the FCPD itself.That is, the investigation was doneexclusively by fellow police offic-ers—with no independent review,no civilian participation, and nooversight.
Increasingly, this potential con-flict of interest is being addressedaround the country as high pro-file killings of unarmed civiliansmake frequent headlines and com-munity tensions grow. Here in
Fairfax County suchreform is beginning.How much and howeffective the changeis remains to be seen.It took the police kill-ing of unarmed JohnGeer in front of manywitnesses, followedby 16 months of
FCPD stonewall-ing of the Geerfamily, the com-munity, and
county officials to cause enoughoutrage and pressure to initiatepolitical level action for change.
The lack of accountability to ci-vilian authority shocked our com-munity. People were also as-tounded to learn that no FCPD of-ficer had ever been charged in aline of duty killing, much less con-victed in the Department’s first 75years.

By Tom Davis
Former U.S. Representative
On Nov. 8, Fairfax County voters have anopportunity to cast a powerful vote forthemselves, and for better government by
voting “no” on the proposed Meals Tax. A “no” votewill send a message to the county Board of Supervi-sors that higher taxes should not be routine, and thatcounty leaders must focus on better management,and more importantly, the School Board, more effi-ciency, and greater respect for taxpayers.
The ballot language for themeals tax referendum was care-fully worded to avoid guaranteesfor how the money will be spent,
while pro-tax forces want voters to believe it will beused for teacher pay raises and property tax relief.
In fact, there are no guarantees for this at all. Toremedy this glaring political error, a public relationscampaign has been launched, partially at taxpayerexpense, by teacher unions and some on the countyboard, to try to convince voters that the board’s in-tentions are to use the new revenue for teacher payhikes even though no such requirement exists.
Voters shouldn’t buy the argument, and theyshouldn’t approve the new tax.
A closer look at school spending shows that theintentions of the School Board are to delve into morepolitical correctness and social engineering. One ex-ample, is their recent release of an RFP to identify acommunity convener to “study” and bring about thename change of Jeb Stuart High School, despite thefact that the Stuart-area population and studentsoppose the change.
There are a number of problems with a new tax
on prepared foods and meals, but most troubling isthe very regressive nature of this proposed new tax.The tax would be imposed on all meals at restau-rants and carry-out, in addition to prepared food soldat convenience stores, food trucks, etc. — meals thatare necessities, not luxuries, for many working menand women, and busy families. The new tax wouldalso be levied on all ready-to- eat foods including along list of items such as deli foods and grocery storerotisserie chickens.
While there are many other problems with the pro-posed tax, it’s also troubling because it confirms anunhealthy focus by county leaders on higher taxesand more revenue as opposed to better management.
Earlier this year, county leaders passed a $100million increase in property taxes — also presum-ably to fund education. Now, they’re back in front ofvoters asking for another $100 million in the formof the Meals Tax.
Easy money makes for bad management. In 1992,as board chair, I supported a meals tax. The countybudget was in terrible shape coming off a real estatedepression that saw our commercial tax base col-lapse. Voters rejected the tax, we took the opportu-nity to reorganize our budget from top to bottomand two years later were named the Best FinanciallyManaged County in America. The budget problemstoday are nothing of that magnitude. And with noguarantees as to how the money will be spent, plusthe current School Board’s spending proclivities. Iam voting no.
It’s important that voters reject this, join me invoting “no” on the Meals Tax.
Tom Davis is former U.S. representative and past chairmanof the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.

Two women were convictedof terrorism crimes relatedto their material support
of al-Shabaab, a designated for-eign terrorist organization.
Muna Osman Jama, 36, ofReston, and Hinda OsmanDhirane, 46, of Kent, Wash., werefound guilty of conspiracy to pro-vide material support to a foreignterrorist organization, and provid-ing material support to a foreignterrorist organization after a benchtrial in front of U.S. District JudgeAnthony J. Trenga.
“These women funneled moneyto a terrorist organization whichwas conducting a violent insur-gency campaign in Somalia,” saidDana J. Boente, U.S. Attorney forthe Eastern District of Virginia.
“In addition to money theytransferred in direct support of al-Shabaab, these subjects recruited,solicited, and advised an onlinegroup located in multiple coun-
lands, Sweden, the United King-dom, and Canada, as well as Min-neapolis, Minn.
A substantial part of thegovernment’s case consisted ofrecorded telephone calls and othercommunications among the“Group of Fifteen.” These record-ings demonstrated that the womenhad close connections with al-Shabaab leadership and wereprivy to non-public, inside infor-mation concerning al-Shabaab ac-tivities. Jama and Dhirane were re-corded as they laughed as the car-nage at the Westgate Mall inNairobi was still taking place, ac-cording to prosecutors, andDhirane and co-conspirator werealso recorded as they laughed atthe Boston Marathon Bombingbefore it became known who com-mitted the attack. Jama andDhirane each face a maximumpenalty of 15 years in prison whensentenced on Jan. 19, 2017.
Guilty of Material Support to Terroriststries as to how and where to trans-fer funds to this terrorist organi-zation,” said Paul M. Abbate, As-sistant Director in Charge of theFBI’s Washington Field Office. “Incoordination of the group, thesesubjects would then track and fa-cilitate donations to ensure themoney was received by their co-conspirators located in Nairobiand Somaliland. Today’s guiltyverdicts send a message that fa-cilitation of financial support to adesignated terrorist organizationequates to terrorist activity itself.”
According to court documentsand evidence presented at trial,Jama and Dhirane sent money tofinanciers of al-Shabaab in Soma-lia and Kenya, which they referredto respectively as the “Hargeisaside” and the “Nairobi side.” Thedefendants also organized whatwas called a “Group of Fifteen,”which included women from So-malia, Kenya, Egypt, the Nether-

Not a WeekIn the Knees
This is an easy week. No 24-hour urine col-lection on Tuesday. No pre-chemotherapy labwork on Wednesday. No stress on Thursdaywaiting for the lab results (to determine if I goin for chemotherapy on Friday). No chemother-apy infusion on Friday. No subsequent sideeffects: fatigue, general discomfort, eating chal-lenges, etc., for the following Saturday to 10-days-later-Monday. No CT Scan. No P.E.T. Scan.No M.R.I. of the brain and/or liver. No anxietyconcerning the results, and no follow-upappointment with the oncologist to assess thedamage/discuss the results from all of theabove. And most importantly, no strategy ses-sion (with my oncologist) to consider the treat-ment options because things have changed forthe worse, which at least for this quarterlymoment in time, they have not! For a cancerpatient undergoing treatment for an incurabledisease, this week is as good as it gets.
Given my chemotherapy infusion intervals:alternating between four and five weeks; myCT Scan intervals: occurring quarterly; my P.E.T.Scan and M.R.I. intervals: every six months —and not every infusion/scan is on a similarday/date schedule, I probably experience thekind of relative calm I described in the openingparagraph, one to two weeks out of every fouror five weeks (depending on my infusion sched-ule) per quarter. Every third month, this ‘relativecalm’ is interrupted by my recurring scans andM.R.I.s. To try and summarize, I would saythere’s probably three to five of these one-to-two-week intervals over the course of sixmonths when I can semi inhale and breathenormally (lung cancer-related issues notwith-standing). Hey, I’m not complaining; it’s a livingand one I’m incredibly lucky to still have, nearlyeight years post diagnosis. I’m just saying.
And though I’m generally not in thechicken-counting business (nor am I in the col-lecting my eggs-in-one-basket business, either),I am happy take my life one day at a time, andcount myself fortunate to do so, never presum-ing any facts not in evidence. Nor do I expectany guarantees or clarification concerning mypresent/future treatment and/or any sideeffects, challenges, compromises, relating toyours truly having cancer. As Linda Hunt asStella, a k a “The Midnight Star” (she “alwaysshines at night”) said to Kevin Kline — asPaden, in a bar scene from the movie “Si-lverado:” “The world is what you make of itfriend. If it doesn’t fit, you make alterations.”
As a cancer patient, ‘alterations’ is exactlywhat you make. Every day. Every night. Everylab. Every infusion. Every scan. Every appoint-ment with your oncologist. Change, as hasoften been said, is the one constant. To expectconsistency or predictability — or dare I say,normalcy — in your cancer life, is out of thequestion and beyond the realm of possibility.Thinking otherwise is creating additional stressregarding an outcome/eventuality which notonly is beyond your control, but totally unrealis-tic, too.
Cancer is like a roller coaster, but one with-out any tracks; and one that rarely returns tothe station to allow you to get off and get yourbearings. For cancer patients, the trip is non-stop, with few opportunities to change direc-tion. All you can do is buckle up and enjoy theride, sort of. Much easier said than done, Iadmit.
Nevertheless, viewing one’s circumstanceswithout any hope or humor is hardly the posi-tive attitude worth embracing. There’s good, asthis column seeks to highlight; and more thanenough bad, as any cancer patient/othersimpacted by this terrible disease knows, to goaround. As much as I wish it had gone aroundsomewhere else, the reality is, it hasn’t and itlooks as if it’s here to stay; just like me (frommy pen to God’s eyes).

Opinion
From Page 6
Lovaasreview Police Practices in early 2015. Com-posed of 1/3 police or former police and 2/3 people from the community (includingyours truly), and media and mental healthgroups, the Commission submitted its finalreport with 142 unanimous reform recom-mendations to the Board in October 2015.
Despite the Commission voting unani-mously for all recommendations, it has beentough slogging getting approvals by theBOS, much less implementation by FCPD.Police resistance has been strong, especiallyby the unions, including reps on the Com-mission who had voted yes. And, the copshave “lawyered up” as they say. To date, justover 50 percent of recommendations havebeen marked as needing “legal review orlegislative change,” according to the latest“recommendation assignment and trackingspreadsheet” prepared by Deputy CountyExec (and former FCPD Chief) Dave Rohrer,who directs the approval and implementa-tion of the Commission report. (Go towww.fairfaxcounty.gov/policecommission/) While the Board of Supervisors has ap-proved many recommendations in policy forCommunications, Use of Force and MentalHealth, implementation is lagging.
Experts warned the Commission that ifreform was to happen, the FCPD culture hadto change and we could expect resistance.Resistance is strongest where greater trans-parency and accountability are concerned.Nowhere has it been fiercer than in the sec-tion on “Independent Oversight and Inves-tigations”. The Commission recommendedcreation of an Independent Police Auditor,reporting directly to the BOS, to overseeboth criminal and administrative investiga-tions of officers whose use of force resultsin death or serious injury. The BOS ap-proved a watered down version of the In-dependent Auditor in September. The Au-ditor will not have the direct oversight rolein criminal investigations proposed. Fund-
ing recommended for two independent in-vestigators for the CA was deleted by theBOS. The Auditor’s role overseeing admin-istrative investigations was approved, butrestricted. He/she may request additionalinvestigation through the Police Chief andwill report findings, including disagree-ments with investigations, to the BOS, andultimately the public.
The second oversight proposed is creationof a Civilian Review Panel (CRP), composedof seven citizen volunteers, to receive com-plaints from county residents involving po-lice abuse of authority or serious miscon-duct. Residents could initiate the complaintprocess two ways: 1-file a complaint withFCPD and, if unsatisfied with police inter-nal investigation, bring it to the CRP; or, 2-submit a complaint directly to the CRPwhich would request investigation by theFCPD.
The investigation file would be reviewedby the CRP, and senior police officials wouldattend a public CRP meeting to further ex-plain the investigation and findings. But,what rights, if any, will the citizen filing thecomplaint have at the CRP meeting? At acontentious Oct. 25 BOS meeting, a lawyerwho works for police unions argued againsta hearing allowing the citizen to speak. Aunion spokesman accused the BOS of “try-ing to ram this (CRP) down our throats.
The rights of a citizen complainant arethe issue to be decided by the BOS at itsDec. 6 meeting. Commission rep AdrianSteel (attorney) said CRP should be theplace for a citizen to “have his or her day”to speak on the investigation of his/her com-plaint.
He is right! Supervisors are now lookingfor a way for citizens to speak, tell their sideto a CRP which has only the investigationdone by fellow police officers.
It is past time to open processes too longhidden and to give those who pay for po-lice protection an effective voice in the pro-cess. Dec. 6.
From Page 6
Plumgenerated are to be dedicated 70 per-cent to the schools and 30 percent toCounty services, capital improvementsand property tax relief.
I hope you join me in voting “yes.”As school population continues to in-crease and the demand and need forCounty services expands, the addedcosts will have to be borne by prop-erty taxpayers through increased ratesand assessments if the County is notallowed to diversify its tax base. Themoney that is raised by the meals taxwould stay in Fairfax County for ourneeds and not be passed through to thestate as is the case with the sales tax.
The argument that a meals tax some-how hurts small businesses has notbeen shown to be the case in other ju-risdictions. Just look at the towns andcities around us including the Districtof Columbia that have a meals tax and
you will see that they have robust res-taurants and food establishments thatequal or exceed those in Fairfax County.Restaurants do not pay the meals taxalthough the signs in some establish-ments might lead you to believe other-wise. Restaurants collect the tax as theydo current sales tax for which they arecompensated and pass the proceeds onto the government.
Most important to me is the fact thatmost of the new revenue will go to ourschools. I watch the painful processeach year as the men and women whoare the excellent teachers in our schoolsare denied pay raises or programs haveto be cut because there is not enoughmoney to go around. The most consis-tent message I get from my constitu-ents is that they want the very bestschools for the children in our commu-nity. The meals tax will help us achievethat goal. Vote “yes” on November 8.
