As the 20-year anniversaryof her mother’s death ap-proached in 2009, Marion

Rantis wanted to do somethingproductive in her memory.

“I’d never heard of the Relay forLife but, when I found it on theAmerican Cancer Society website,it seemed like just the thing I waslooking for,” she said. “Not onlycould I remember and honor herby getting involved, but so manyfriends and family members withtheir own experiences with cancercould participate in a way mean-ingful for them, too.”

So Rantis, of Little Rocky Run,participated in her first Relay lastspring. “We had thunderstorms,but what impressed me was

everyone’s spirit,” she said. “Noone complained; we walked withour umbrellas and candles in therain. There were all ages, fromkids to grandparents, and it wasmoving to see everyone stick withit.”

Now she’s Planning Committee

Last week at the FairfaxCounty Government Cen-ter, officials and politicians

promoted a Bus Rapid Transit(BRT) system to better move traf-fic on I-66 and pave the way forfuture metrorail here. Afterward,local residents got to ask ques-tions.

Lillian Vogel said a deterrent topeople using the Fairfax Connec-tor bus now is “worrying when orif the bus will show up. Will weget technology anytime soon, tell-ing us when the next bus is com-

ing?”“I’m a proponent of it,” said Su-

pervisor Pat Herrity (R-Spring-field). “I want to know if I havetime to drink my coffee and readthe paper, or if I have to stand out-side and wait for 15 minutes.”

Unfortunately, said Kathy Ichter,director of the county’s Depart-ment of Transportation (FCDOT),“We want to do it, but can’t, yet,because of the budget crunch.”

Little Rocky Run’s Al Francese,a 30-year carpooler, noted thattraffic at I-66 and StringfellowRoad is “already backed up frompeople coming in from the west.

Songs and spirits soared, Saturday night,April 24, during a musical benefit atWestfield High for the Reema Samaha andErin Peterson scholarship funds. Both

graduated from Westfield and died together in theVirginia Tech tragedy.

“Not only will we remember them tonight, butalso honor their spirits,” said Reema’s mother,Mona Samaha, at the beginning of the concert.

Performing were the City Singers, the outreacharm of the City Choir of Washington, and the band,Youthful Spirits, all members of Erin’s church,Mount Olive Baptist.

City Singers soloist Lani Kanakry told the audi-ence, “When we think about Erin and Reema, it’swith sadness at their loss, but also with love whenwe remember their lives and the legacy they gaveus.”

Erin’s mother, Celeste Peterson, said the twogirls never changed from the people they werewhen they first met, in the third grade. “They wereexceptional, young ladies with old spirits,” shesaid. “They appreciated others and recognizedthat other people were valuable. Getting up ev-ery day and going on — when the person whowas your compass is gone — is hard. But I’m atpeace knowing that Erin and Reema are together.”

There were several touching moments duringthe concert, including when keyboardist J. RobbieWigington of Youthful Spirits sang the Commo-dores’ song, “The Night Shift,” with the wordschanged to apply to Reema and Erin. As he sang,his daughter Jasmine, 5 — dressed as an angel,complete with halo and wings — played with asoccer ball and a basketball and danced.

Both Erin and Reema played soccer together aschildren, Reema later became a dancer and Erinwas a basketball star. Afterward, Wigington said,

Soloist Thelma Leenhoutssings “Cockeyed Opti-mist” from the movie,“South Pacific.”

Soloist Lani Kanakry, afriend of the Samahas,sings “The Wind BeneathMy Wings.”

Westfield: ‘Broadway & Beyond!’

News

By Bonnie Hobbs

Centre View

Westfield High’s Choral Department in-vites the community on a journey to“Broadway & Beyond!” Some 150students will take the stage in a mu-

sic-theater-themed concert.It’s set for Saturday, May 8, at 7 p.m. Tickets are

$5 in advance at www.westfieldhschoral.org or $7at the door. Music will range from Broadway tunesto opera to a Michael Jackson medley.

All four choirs — Concert Choir, Chamber Sing-ers, Bel Canto and Vocal Jazz Ensemble — will per-form. Accompanying them will be professional mu-sicians, Jim Van Slyke, piano; Adam Philips, bassguitar; and Ken McNair, drums.

Broadway shows represented include “Mamma Mia,”“Hairspray,” “Grease,” “Curtains,” “Legally Blonde, theMusical,” “Sweeney Todd,” “Chicago,” “GentlemenPrefer Blondes,” “Wicked” and “Fiddler on the Roof.”

“It’s our last, big concert of the year, and we’vebeen rehearsing since January,” said Choral Direc-tor Jessica Lardin. “It’s going to be great. It’s fullystaged and choreographed by [veteran choreogra-pher] Yvonne Henry, plus some wonderful, studentchoreographers, Rachel Shirley, Morgan Fuentes andColby Dezelick.”

SOPHOMORE Fuentes said the choreography wasa big challenge for her because she’s never done suchlarge numbers, but she’s pleased with the outcomes.“I choreographed three numbers and I’m in nine,”she said. “But it was a lot of fun working with all thegirls. The hardest part was stepping out of my com-fort zone — hip hop, jazz or Broadway — and doingstylistic moves from the 1960s and late ’50s. But itwas fun to take a leadership role.”

She also sings alto with Bel Canto, and her favor-ite song in the show is “Diamonds are a Girl’s BestFriend.” Said Fuentes: “Since we’re singing themelody, we all have a chance to be more expressive,and the dance is more intricate.” She said the audi-ence will really enjoy the show because “it’s not just

solos, group numbers, slow or fast songs — it’s amix of great tunes people can relate to.”

Senior Shanice Griffin sings soprano with Bel Cantoand sings three songs in the “Hairspray” medley, “ICan Hear the Bells,” “Welcome to the ’60s” and “GoodMorning, Baltimore.” Unlike last year’s “DisneyDazzle” show, more geared toward children, she said,“This concert is for all ages.”

She especially likes “Welcome to the ’60s” becauseof its dance. “It’s easy and fun-loving, and you canbe creative with your facial expressions,” said Grif-fin. “It’s big and noticeable.” She said the audiencewill know the songs in the show so well, they’ll beable to sing along. And, she added, “They’ll like ourcostumes reflecting the different eras.”

SOPRANO Elizabeth Beavers, a junior, does a duet,“By My Side,” from “Godspell,” with Amanda deCarlo. “We’re making it vibrant and adding moremotions to it,” said Beavers. “It’ll be pretty and fun.”

She also likes “Oh, My God, You Guys,” from “Le-gally Blonde” since it’s a new musical. “We’re soror-ity girls, overacting and having fun, and the music isso energetic,” she said. Overall, said Beavers, theprogram will showcase “the level of talent everyonein the Choral Department has, singing, dancing andacting out the songs.”

Singing both alto and soprano is senior JenniSchumacher. She’s in several numbers and solos on“Tell Me on a Sunday,” Andrew Lloyd Webber’s songfrom the show, “Song and Dance.” She, too, likes sing-ing “Oh, My God, You Guys” because she helped or-ganize the rehearsals and costumes for it “so it’s likemy baby and it’s fun to see it come together.”

Schumacher’s favorite number, though, is “ForGood,” from “Wicked,” sung by Felicia Francois andLaura Galanti. “It’s about two best friends and ev-erything they learn from each other, so I really con-nect to it. It’s also pretty and has nice harmonies.”Schumacher said the audience will love the show’sdynamic; and after the closing number, “Let the SunShine In,” she said, “Everyone will be going out, in-teracting, feeling excited and thinking, ‘We want tojoin choir, too.’”

Westfield’s choral students perform a spirited medley from “High School Musical”during last year’s spring show.

Robbery Suspect Is IndictedOn March 16, Fairfax County police arrested two people they

believed were responsible for robbing four local banks in lessthan three weeks. The heists occurred, Feb. 26 and March 9, inCentreville, and March 2 and 16 in Chantilly. The Town of Viennaalso levied charges for bank robberies there, so Shona Jones, 21,of Rapidan, Va., and Joshua Campbell, 26, of no fixed address,were each charged with five counts of armed robbery.

Authorities believed Jones was the actual robber and Campbellwas her accomplice. They both appeared last Wednesday, April21, in General District Court. At that time, all the charges againstCampbell were dropped, but all five counts against Jones werecertified to the grand jury for possible indictment.

E-Cycle Electronics RecyclingLocal residents may recycle their old, electronics equipment

Thursday, April 29, from 7 a.m.-1 p.m., at the Sully District Gov-ernmental Center, 4900 Stonecroft Blvd. in Chantilly. This includesitems such as computers, monitors, printers, cell phones and faxmachines.

Children’s Science CenterThe public is invited to attend a discussion exploring the possi-

bilities of the first Children’s Science Center in Northern Virginia.It would be a place where children could learn, create and beinspired. Those planning it want to know the community’s ideas,needs and desires for this entity.

The discussion is slated for this Thursday, April 29, at 7 p.m., atthe Fairfax County Government Center. Topics will include thefacility’s operation, exhibits and programs, target age range, ad-mission cost and location. For more information, seewww.thechildrenssciencecenter.org.

LeMunyon’s Town Hall MeetingDel. Jim LeMunyon (R-67th) will hold a town-hall meeting

Sunday, May 2, at 3 p.m., at the Sully District Governmental Cen-ter, 4900 Stonecroft Blvd. in Chantilly. It will give citizens of the67th district an opportunity to discuss the state budget, educa-tion and transportation, plus offer their views on any issues re-lated to state public policy.

Free Carseat InspectionsCertified technicians from the Sully District Police Station will

perform free, child safety carseat inspections Thursday, May 6and 20, from 5-8:30 p.m., at the station, 4900 Stonecroft Blvd. inChantilly. No appointment is necessary. But residents should in-stall the child safety seats themselves so technicians may prop-erly inspect and adjust them, as needed.

Local Teams Are Readying for Relay for LifeRelay Fund-RaiserAt Fast Eddies

A fund-raiser for Centreville’s Relayfor Life event will be held Saturday, May15, from noon-6 p.m., at Fast Eddie’s.It’s in the Newgate Shopping Center, atRoutes 28/29, in Centreville. Donationsare tax-deductible. It’s sponsored by theShooting Stars team, and the fun in-cludes a live band featuring Jason Dean,dart and bean-bag tournaments and a50-50 raffle. Pre-register for the tourna-ments on Wednesday, May 12, from 4-7p.m., or May 15 at noon. Games beginat 1 p.m. The Relay for Life raises moneyfor the American Cancer Society.

This team photo is of the Cancer Crushers. Team Captains, Dana and Stephen Hubchen,and most of the team are from Little Rocky Run.

chairman of this year’s Relay forLife at Centreville High. Nation-wide, it’s the 25th annual, and thefourth time Centreville has hosted.Rain or shine, it’ll be held Satur-day-Sunday, May 22-23. It beginsat 2:30 p.m. with a reception inthe cafeteria for cancer survivors;opening ceremony is at 4 p.m. onthe Wildcat football field — thesite of the relay.

So far, 30 teams of about 15people each — mostly fromCentreville, Chantilly and Clifton— have signed up. Since the eventraises money for the AmericanCancer Society, each person con-tributes $100, and Rantis hopesit’ll raise $60,000 total.

Since participants just walk,they needn’t be athletic. “The re-lay aspect is that team memberstake turns walking, so anyone ofany ability can participate,” saidRantis. “If people can only walk15 minutes at a time, that’s fine.Then they can hang out with theirfriends at the campsite. Althoughthe relay runs until Sunday 6 a.m.,not everyone on the team has tospend the night.”

There’ll also be fun for children,including face painting and aclown. Passion4Community/NewLife Christian Church is sponsor-ing the children’s area, open thatSaturday from 4:30-8:30 p.m.Planned are moonbounces; gamessuch as water-balloon toss and ahula-hoop contest, plus free pop-corn and cotton candy. Further-more, children may play therewithout their parents being on ateam.

DURING THE OPENING cer-emony, Centreville’s Shak Hill —who took care of his cancer-survi-vor wife while she fought the dis-ease — will tell her story. Thensurvivors, those in remission and

those still fighting, will walk thefirst lap. And, said Rantis, “We’dlove people in the community tocome and surround the track,cheer them on and show their sup-port for them.”

Caregivers and those they caredfor will walk the next lap. Thenteams start walking, with as manymembers walking at a time as theywant. The only rule is that some-one from each team is walking atall times.

Meanwhile, live bands — Flockof Eagles and New Life’s band —will perform. Jump-roping teamsfrom Willow Springs Elementaryand Lanier Middle will displaytheir moves, ATA Martial Arts Stu-dio will give a karate demonstra-tion, and Ohana of Polynesia willdo Hawaiian dances. JarrodWronski, a deejay fromSportsAnnouncing.com, will play

music and run karaoke.“We really appreciate everyone’s

participation,” said Rantis. “Andwe thank Centreville High’s Direc-tor of Student Activities, JimmySanabria, and the Athletic Depart-ment for letting us use the school.”

The highlight is the Saturday9:30 p.m. luminaria ceremony,open to everyone. “Even if peoplecan’t participate financially, theycan still come and enjoy it,” saidRantis. “But anyone who doeswant to buy a luminaria — inhonor of a survivor, someone stillbattling cancer or in memory ofsomeone who died of it — may doso at www.CentrevilleRelay.org.”

They’re placed around the track,and some are in the stands, spell-ing out the word, “Hope.” Then,by the end of the luminaria cer-emony, volunteers will havechanged that batch to say, “Cure.”

Participating for her sixth year,Deanna Kessler, of Centreville’sCountry Club Manor community,is captain of the Shooting Stars –Make a Wish team. Her 32 mem-bers, mostly Centreville residents,hope to raise $8,000 in donationsfrom friends, family, co-workersand neighbors.

PEOPLE MAY STILL JOIN ex-isting teams or start their own. Seedirections on the website. Or theymay donate to any team or indi-vidual, also via that site.

“There’s no training involvedand we walk in at least pairs tochat and keep each other com-pany,” said Kessler. “It’s a lot of fun.I got started because I lost mygrandmother to cancer andwanted to do this in her memory.I like everyone getting together forthe same reason; we’ve all been

touched by it.”“The luminaria ceremony is the

most moving part of the event be-cause they turn down the lightsand music and read off the nameson the luminaria bags,” she con-tinued. “You know that everyname represents a person with astory. There’s a slide show of themand it’s a quiet, reflective time.Then everybody does a couple lapstogether, holding candles.”

Kessler said the Relay helps raisemoney “so that, someday, there’sa cure and no more cancer. It’ssuch an amazing event that, onceyou do it, you want to keep doingit.”

Little Rocky Run’s DanaHubchen is captain of the CancerCrushers team, and Lisa Desmanof Clifton is captain of the PurplePowerhouse. Both are also incharge of the luminaria sales andceremony.

“I worked for the American Can-cer Society in California andhelped my staff do this,” saidHubchen. “So when we movedhere, I got involved with thisevent. It’s special because every-one can participate, families cando it together and it’s right in yourown community.”

For Maria Tilves-Aguilera ofLittle Rocky Run, the up-coming Relay for Life at

Centreville High is personal. Notonly is she the event’s honorarychairman, she’s currently wagingher own war against cancer.

“I was diagnosed in 2007 with astage IV, cancerous sarcoma of theuterus,” she said. “It’s a constantbattle that never lets up, so I’malways in treatment. And since it’sa rare cancer, it’s considered an

‘orphan’ — meaning there’s notenough funding for research and,therefore, not enough inroadshave been made in its treatment.”

Tilves-Aguilera has mainly re-ceived chemotherapy for the dis-ease at Memorial Sloan-KetteringCancer Center in New York. Hercondition has been stable for mostof the past three years, but shemust remain vigilant, at all times.

“Sarcomas are just a small per-centage of the cancers,” she said.“Most are carcinomas. Mine is ag-gressive and metastatic, so itspreads to the lungs and spine. But

I have a great support network —a loving family, including twoboys, 11 and 12, plus wonderfulfriends, neighbors and the com-munity. I also get support from theAmerican Cancer Society and Lifewith Cancer [which offers a varietyof programs for the entire family].”

Although she faces a tough road,Tilves-Aguilera is meeting it headon and staying as strong and con-fident as she can. “I have a posi-tive attitude,” she said. “In gen-eral, I feel OK, but it’s just becomepart of my daily life. I have to livein the moment — I have no

choice.”She’s also a member of the

Caped Crusaders team participat-ing in Relay for Life, and it’s thesecond year she’s been involved.“You realize you’re not alone onthis journey; many others are deal-ing with it, too,” she said. “I feelvery strongly about this event andthat there should be a generationalchange in people’s outlook aboutcancer. They need to realize itdoesn’t have to be a death sen-tence and they shouldn’t give up.As long as you can take a breath,it’s worth the fight.”

Residents Ask about Traffic SolutionsWill one of the future BRT lots

be located west of Stringfellow?”“Yes,” replied Ichter. “We have

land at the Government Centerand Fair Oaks and have designatedadditional stations in Centreville.”

Stuart Schwartz, executive di-rector of the Coalition for SmarterGrowth, said, “It’s important tomake the land uses work with this.You need the right mix of uses, andconcentration of jobs and housing,to make this successful.”

Jeff Parnes, Sully District’s rep-resentative on the county’s Trans-portation Advisory Committee,said that, under the currently pro-posed budget, Fairfax Connectorservice would be reduced in west-ern Fairfax County. “It only runsevery half hour, so more peoplewill be driving cars,” he said.

Furthermore, he said, “The onlyparking lot accessible from I-66 isVienna. So [if electronic messagesdirected drivers to other stationswith vacant parking spaces, whenVienna is full], how would you getto another station easily?”

Supervisor Michael R. Frey (R-Sully) told Parnes that the Boardof Supervisors planned to reinstate

the Dulles Corridor bus routes des-ignated for elimination. ExplainedFrey: “They’re critical to buildingthe ridership for future rail, andwe’re happy we were able to finda way to do that.”

REGARDING PARKING, Ichtersuggested commuters park at thelot on Stringfellow Road and takea bus to the Vienna Metro. ButParnes told her that not everyonedrives to Washington, D.C., towork. “People also come here,” hesaid. “And right now, people com-ing to the west to work in [a largecompany in] Fair Lakes, for ex-ample, don’t have a place to getoff. They can’t get off I-66 atStringfellow.”

Sully District resident FinnuolaQuinn wondered about possiblepavement-widening. “What aboutthe cost estimate of the construc-tion [of dedicated BRT lanes],relative to the impact on the com-munities during construction?”she asked.

“We’re concerned about the im-pact to parks, homes and land, too,so we’re looking at what’s feasiblewithin the existing roadway, ratherthan expanding it,” answeredSteven Shapiro, of Dewberry &

Davis, deputy project manager ofa study examining all the majorroads in Northern Virginia. “It’sprobably the most sensitive issuewe’ll have to deal with, other thanmoney.”

Pleased with the BRT idea,Stephen Vandivere of Cabell’s Millsaid, “Driving is time wasted;riding is time that can be put touse. I think that would be a pow-erful marketing tool.”

State Sen. Dave Marsden (D-37th) said he’s hopeful that some-thing like BRT can be done “with-out additional public expenditure.Right now, we can make it so — ifwe drive on a road without ashoulder and have a fender-bender — we can drive to the nextshoulder or safe area to exchangeinformation [with the otherdriver]. All these ideas [espousedduring the April 19 meeting] arefabulous. I’m a big fan of BRT, butwe’re going to have to solve someof our funding problems in North-ern Virginia before it can moveforward.”

NORTHERN EDITION

Opinion

Kenneth B. Lourie, award-winning columnistand sales representative with the ConnectionNewspapers and Potomac Almanac, wasnamed Virginia Outstanding Sales Professionalof the Year, receiving his award on Satur-day, April 24, at the annual advertisingconference of the Virginia Press Associa-tion in Portsmouth.

It’s a bit unusual to use editorial space totout sales awards, but this is an unusual case.

Many of our readers are familiar withLourie’s longstanding weekly humor column,The Daze of my Life, which runs in many ofour papers and on our web site.

In the past year, Lourie has tackled the moreserious topic of his diagnosis and treatmentfor stage IV lung cancer in his columns, butwith the same pointed humor of his previouscolumns. Meanwhile, despite these challenges,he remains one of our top sales performers.

Lourie’s award was presented by Carol Tay-lor, chairman of VPA’s Advertising Committeeand a sales executive with Richmond TimesDispatch. “This year’s Outstanding Sales Pro-fessional of the Year award honors the kind ofsales professional who is a role model, some-one whose qualities have led to great successin the newspaper advertising profession,” Tay-lor said in giving the award.

Taylor continued: “Among other importantattributes, this award recognizes leadershipand tenacity. … It celebrates extraordinarycustomer service and an attitude that embracesthe unprecedented change we’re seeing insideand outside of our industry. … Our recipient iswell known for his cold calling prowess andhis reliance on old-school technology, like notecards. His customers rave about his flexibility,his patience, his attention to detail and hisability to find a Boston Red Sox fan anywhere

Outstanding Sales Professional of the Year

Editorial

he goes. And he’s an award-winning colum-nist who isn’t afraid to write about his needfor new underwear.”

For more than 12 years, Lourie has been ourmost organized and creative sales pro-fessional. Disciplined, committed and te-nacious, he has always been among the

top performers in our sales staff. His medicalcondition is relevant only as to the timing ofthis award and the recognition it provides andas proof of his unbelievable tenacity, commit-ment and good humor.

Lourie’s column, The Daze of my Life, hasdeveloped a loyal following and addressessome of the quirks and milestones of every daylife, but also tackling more serious topics. Anexcerpt from a recent letter he received from areader exemplifies the effect his writing has

had:“While we have not met, I want to let you

know how much your newspaper columns re-lated to your cancer mean to me; I have savedthem all. I can relate to many of the feelingsyou write about from experience. … It is im-pressive to see how you approach your situa-tion with grace and honesty; that is the bestone can ask of oneself. You are doing a lot byyour writing to help other people learn and gothrough this experience with you. None of usreally knows what is ahead of one in life, andyou provide a good example of the value ofapproaching each day with love and hope.

To the Editor:April 10 was a sunny, crisp, beautiful day ...

the kind of day that makes you glad to be alive.And, thanks to the tremendous efforts of theentire Westfield High School Community, it’s aday that will, hopefully, save a life or lives inWestfield’s senior class of 2010.

Saturday, April 10 was Delivery Day forWestfield High School’s Annual Mulch Sale, theproceeds of which fund Westfield’s All Night GradParty. A tradition at Westfield and many highschools across the nation, this graduation cel-ebration is more than just a great party for thegraduating class. All night grad parties provide asafe, chaperoned, drug-and-alcohol-free event forgraduates to attend. In 1987, the Department ofMotor Vehicles identified a spike in the incidenceof alcohol/ drug related accidents specifically onhigh school prom and graduation night. Thisstudy prompted the Virginia Department of Edu-cation to develop the “VA Operation Prom/Graduation Project,” to provide guidelines toschools on hosting drug and alcohol free celebra-tions. Thus began the tradition of the PTSA host-ing After Prom and All Night Grad Parties(ANGP). While Westfield High’s ANGP hasevolved over the years, its commitment to pro-

‘Mulch’ ThanksFor Support

viding our graduates with a safe environment inwhich to celebrate their success has resulted inparties where almost 80 percent of graduatesattend. They come because they’ve heard theywill have a great time — even without drugs oralcohol. But providing an event enticing enoughto attract a majority of these teenagers is not alow-cost endeavor. So the annual Mulch Sale hasbecome the primary source of funding for thislife-saving event.

It takes an entire community to make this eventa success, and a great success it was. Thanks goout to everyone who purchased close to 13,000bags of mulch to support this vital fundraiser.The students, parents, alumnae and communitymembers who helped out through the donationof time, food, trucks and other vehicles were spec-tacular. Thank you to Ray Clements our school

Safety and Security Specialist for his help (andpatience with all of us) Friday and Saturday. Wewould have been lost without our large trucksprovided by Village Landscapes, Katchmark Con-struction, Clippers, Paramount Mechanical Cor-poration, A & A Moving and Storage and CoxFarms. Most of these businesses are owned byWestfield families: The Stalnaker’s, Katchmark’s,Cronin’s, and Lavin’s. Thank you to all the par-ents who provided food to feed a hungry armyof volunteers all day, and especially to Rita’s Ital-ian Ice for a refreshing, free treat for us all.

As always, the Westfield parents proved theirdedication to our community through all theirhard work organizing and working this tremen-dous event. Thanks as well to Boy Scout Troop30 who stood guard over the mulch on Fridaynight. We are very grateful for a record numberof students delivering the mulch, all helping tobe finished hours ahead of previous years. Ev-eryone pulled together, had a great time and awonderful day.

We ask that our community continue to sup-port the Westfield Mulch fundraiser next yearand beyond. It takes an entire community to safe-guard the lives of our students. And we offer oursincere thanks to all those who helped make thisyear’s mulch fundraiser for Westfield HighSchool’s All Night Grad Party a huge success.

Mother’s Day is a time for brunch, flow-ers, cards and families. It’s the sameway in Chantilly’s Poplar Tree Estatescommunity, too. But before those

things happen, area residents also participate in theannual Angel Kisses 5K run and 2K walk in memoryof Jeffrey Virostek.

A resident of that community, he was just 4 whenhe died in September 2003 of acute myelogenousleukemia (AML). But he lives on in his family’s heartsand in a fund-raiser that helps other children fight-ing cancer.

“It’s devastating to lose a child,”said Jeffrey’s mother, Tasha Virostek.“But it’s also excruciating to gothrough the ordeal of cancer treat-ment, and we understand this. Wehave read the many articles aboutRachel D’Andrea, [a Chantilly tod-dler currently battling cancer], andthis race was created to benefit fami-lies just like hers.”

This year’s seventh annual AngelKisses event is Sunday, May 9, at 8 a.m. It starts andends at the Poplar Tree Estates Swim and RacquetClub, 13516 Point Pleasant Drive.

Capital Running will officiate the race, and a spe-cial tag attached to the participants’ shoelaces willrecord the results. For more information and to reg-ister, see www.AngelKisses-5k.org. Online registra-tion is 5K, $20; 2K, $15, by May 6.

Afterward, it’s $25 and $20. Walk-in registrationand packet pickup are Friday, May 7, from 6-8 p.m.;Saturday, May 8, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m., and race day,from 6:30-7:30 a.m., at the Poplar Tree Community

“We continue to put a lot of en-ergy into the race because it’s directlybenefited families in our commu-nity,” said Tasha Virostek. “It’s be-

come a Mother’s Day tradition for many and it helpskeep Jeffrey’s memory and spirit alive. There’s nevera day when he’s not in our thoughts. But you learnto move forward, and this race helps with the heal-ing and allows us to help other families going throughthis difficult process.”

All in all, she said, “We’re really humbled andblessed with the success of this race because it helpsus contribute to organizations that help families suchas the D’Andreas. We’re hoping for another beauti-ful day and we’re looking forward to celebratingMother’s Day with other mothers.”

Short Pasta

with Artichokes(Serves 4)

This is probably the easiest Italian dessert, perfect for children, husbands and

significant others to prepare in a pinch on Mother’s Day!

INGREDIENTS:

1 lb of mascarpone (cannot substitute)

4 egg whites

3 oz of very fine sugar

2 boxes of lady fingers

strong coffee with little sugar

cocoa powder, unsweetened.

In Italy we always use whole eggs, but because of fear of salmonella now I only

make it with the egg whites. First brew some strong coffee. Add little sugar. Set

aside to cool.

Whip the egg whites and set aside. Mix the mascarpone with the sugar until the

sugar is perfectly blended in and melted (this will take a couple of minutes). Fold

the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture. Assemble the tiramisu in a shallow

serving bowl (square or rectangular, 10” x 10” or 8” x 11”): soak the ladyfingers

in coffee, drain excess coffee, assemble in a serving dish a layer of ladyfingers. Add

another layer of mascarpone mixture. Finish by adding a layer of unsweetened

cocoa powder with a sifter. Tip: You could also have multiple layers in a smaller

serving dish, alternating ladyfingers and mascarpone twice, but top only once with

cocoa powder at the end. Put in the fridge (4 hours) for flavors to blend, serve cold.

Tiramisu(Serves 4)

INGREDIENTS:1 pkg Jell-0 Pistachio instant Pudding & Pie Filling

1 can (15 oz or larger) crushed pineapple in water (not drained)

1 cup miniature marshmallows (optional)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (coarsely chopped)

1 12 oz tub of Cool Whip thawed (original or lite)

INSTRUCTIONS:In a large mixing bowl combine pistachio pudding and entire can of crushed pine-

apple including the liquid. Mix well by hand until the pudding is entirely absorbed.

Add marshmallows and 3/4 of the nuts into the mixture. Gently stir in whipped top-

ping and mix well until color is green throughout. Transfer contents to serving bowl

and sprinkle remaining nuts on top. Refrigerate at least one hour.

Yield: Makes 8 servings.

For Mother’s Day

This risotto is a little more complicated than the regular risotto because of the differentcooking time required for the two types of rice. In making risotto, please only use Arboriorice. On the other hand you can use any type of wild rice.1 leek, finely chopped1⁄2 cup wild rice1 cup Arborio rice8 oz. Whole baby Portobello mushroom, finely chopped, except for 1 mushroom for

garnish4-5 cups of lukewarm chicken broththymesalt and pepper to tasteextra virgin olive oil

In a wide saucepan, reheat the oil with the leek until translucent. Add the wild rice. Toastthe wild rice for a few minutes. Add some chicken broth, just enough to cover the rice andlet the rice simmer for 15-20 minutes, paying attention that the wild rice does not stick tothe pan … add more broth if necessary. Add the chopped baby mushroom, cover again andlet the mushroom sweat. This will allow the wild rice to continue cooking for an additional5 minutes. Uncover the pan and let the liquid evaporate. Add the Arborio rice, stirring con-tinuously but slowly for a couple of minutes to toast the rice.

Now the risotto part starts! Flavor with thyme. Add one ladle at a time of broth, let it beabsorbed by the rice, stirring once in a while. Add more broth, stir and continue doing sountil the rice is cooked al dente. If the broth is added correctly a creamy risotto will be theend result. Garnish with thin slices of raw mushroom. Enjoy it and wow your guests!

Behind solid pitching outings fromjunior Dan Lawler and senior BillBoyle, the Chantilly High baseball

team defeated local rival Centreville, 4-1,in the Concorde District game played on April20 at Chantilly.

Lawler, who started for the Chargers, al-lowed one run — a second inning solo homerun by Wildcat senior Connor Bach — overfour innings of work in the non-decision out-ing. He scattered six hits, struck out threeand walked one.

“He had some runners on base, but he gotout of those innings,” said Chantilly coachKevin Ford. “He really did a good job.”

Picking up the win for Chantilly was Boyle,who allowed four hits while striking out fiveand walking none in three scoreless inningsof relief.

“He just threw strikes,” said Ford. “He’snot afraid to pitch inside. He made some realgood pitches to get third called strikes. Hejust mixed it up and looked confident outthere.”

Chantilly Baseball Uses Long Ball to Defeat CentrevilleSolid relief job byBoyle keeps Wildcats’offense in check.

Boyle, who recently committed to playingbaseball next school year at Mary Washing-ton University in Fredericksburg, is 3-1 thisspring with an impressive 2.72 earned runaverage. He has struck out 37 batters over28-1/3 innings.

Chantilly’s Matt DeWitt hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the fourth inning to tiethe game at 1-1. It was the second homer ofthe season for DeWitt, a senior catcher andthe Chargers’ lone returning starter backfrom last year’s team.

DEWITT, Chantilly’s clean-up hitter, is hit-ting around .400. A year ago as the Charg-ers’ No. 4 hitter, DeWitt knocked out sevenhome runs and batted .257 on the season.Ford said DeWitt is a better hitter this spring.

“This year he’s getting good solid swingsand a lot more base hits,” said Ford.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Chantillybatted around and scored three runs to breakthe 1-1 tie and take control of the game.Highlights of the inning included a home runfrom Wes Kerbuski and a well-struck, bases-loaded sacrifice fly off the bat of BenLangford.

Chantilly had five hits on the night, two ofthem coming from Jamie Danehower. Othercontributions came from Adam Fridy (2walks) and Sam Zimmerman (single).

Centreville pitcher Ryan Ashooh recorded10 strikeouts.

in a 14-5 district home loss to Westfield lastFriday. The Chargers outhit the Bulldogs, 12to 11, but Chantilly pitchers walked ninebatters and the Chargers’ defense commit-ted three errors.

Good hitting games for Chantilly came fromFridy (4 hits, including a double), Connor Ma-jor (double) and Kerbuski (2 hits). Other play-

ers getting hits were Sonny Romine, DeWitt,Langford, Zimmerman and Mike Edwards. BradCaslavka had a sacrifice fly.

Chantilly was scheduled to play districtgames this week at Herndon (Tuesday, April27) and at home versus Robinson this Fri-day night, April 30 at 6:30.

Girls’ Cross-Town Soccer Drama Plays Out to 1-1 TieOvertime goal byC’ville disallowed;Chantilly remainsunbeaten.

See Cross-Town, Page 14

The drama that comes when two of thearea’s top teams — who happen to be dis-trict and cross-town rivals — meet was ondisplay in a big way during the latter stagesof Tuesday night’s girls’ high school soccermatch between Chantilly and host teamCentreville.

Yes, the compelling Concorde Districtmatchup resulted in an unsatisfying 1-1 over-time tie. But both teams’ fervent play andthe buzz created by the game’s dramatic un-folding made the evening’s contest feel morelike a do or die playoff affair than a regularseason outing.

“It was real intense,” said Chantilly Highjunior defender/forward Madyson Brown,who scored her team’s lone goal. “Both teamsplayed very hard and wanted to beat eachother.”

Throughout the night, the two squads,known for their outstanding defenses, triedto break though for decent scoring chances.They were hard to come by. So whenCentreville’s Haley Yow, a freshman forward,

scored from close range during a flurry ofaction in front of the net — the result ofteammate Molly MacDonnell’s key crossingpass from the left corner of the field — itwas not a stretch to think that the goal, tal-lied with 13 minutes, 36 seconds showingon the first half clock, might stand.

And it did for most of the rest of the game.But when it looked as if the Wildcats mightcome away with their seventh consecutiveshutout win, Brown, Chantilly’s talented,versatile defender who at times is movedup-field to a forward position in order to givea spark to the Chargers’ offense, came up

with a game-changing goal to notch the con-test at 1-1 with 5:44 remaining in regula-tion.

Chantilly, which had struggled to get shotsoff throughout the game, had come alive lateand was making some serious runs on thenet. A few minutes before her game-tyingscore, Brown, who a year ago as a sopho-more was a key member of the Chargers’state AAA title winning team, had brokenfree off the right side before sending a siz-zling, 15-yard shot from the corner whichCentreville goalie Ayana Teran, set up atthe near post, barely blocked away to pre-serve her team’s lead.

But when Brown got another chance, shetook full advantage and got the equalizer. Shetracked down a short lead pass from sopho-more midfielder Olivia Colella and, with twodefenders right with her in the scoring circlearea, found a way to lift a soft, short rangedfloater over the goalies’ outstretched hands andinto the net from close range. Chantilly, re-markably, had tied the match.

“Olivia headed it over the top of me, I ranit down and placed it in the right spot,” saidBrown. “It looked like the goalie might get ahand on it.”

Centreville coach Gary Malebranche cred-ited Brown with making a sensational play.

“She’s a great athlete and she finished,”he said.

The thrills did not end there. Ultimately,the match went into two, five minute over-time sessions. As time was running down in

the first five minutes, Centreville was mak-ing a hurried rush to get off a shot beforetime expired. The Wildcats, with the clockwinding down, earned a corner shot. Yowquickly positioned the ball for the corner andsent it towards the front of the goal area.Then, just like that, freshman teammateClara Logsdon headed the ball into the netfor what appeared to be the go-ahead scorewith no time showing on the stadium clock.

The Centreville players celebrated thescore and began preparing for the second fiveminute overtime session. The scoreboardread “2-1” Centreville. But game officials con-ferred as coaches, players and fans from bothteams awaited to see if the score would beallowed to stand.

The head game referee talked to bothteams’ coaches before walking towards thehome team sideline and motioning up towardsthe press box that the goal had not beenallowed. The scoreboard changed the tallyto 1-1 as home team Wildcat fans voicedtheir displeasure with loud boos that echoedthroughout the stadium on the crisp, coolspring night.

Malebranche, the Centreville coach, said hewas told by the head referee that time hadrun out as the corner ball hit Logsdon’s head inwhat turned out to be a phantom goal.

“He said the clock hit zero as the ball wason Clara’s head,” said Malebranche. “It’s dis-appointing because we had it. I’m proud of

the way the girls played.”Melissa Bibbee, the Chantilly

coach, said she likely would havebeen upset if she was inMalebranche’s shoes.

“The rule says when the clockgoes out, [the game’s] over,” saidBibbee. “But if that’s my team, I’mangry too.”

Jenna Richmond, Centreville’ssenior standout forward, thoughtthe Wildcats had taken the leadwhen Logsdon found the net dur-ing those frantic, closing seconds ofthe first five minute overtime.

“I was like, ‘hurry, hurry,’’” saidRichmond, aware that time waswinding down as Centreville quickly

set up the late corner quick try.“[Yow] hit it and I saw Clara finishit. It was very disappointing [whenthe score was disallowed]. We’dworked so hard. We finished ourchance. For some reason they called[no goal].”

With the goal not allowed, thegame’s second five-minute sessionstarted up with the score still tiedat 1-1. And that is how the matchwould end as neither team was ableto score during the second five-minute session. At the final whistle,both teams, certainly exhausted,crossed the field for the postgamehandshakes.

“It’s just a different intensitywhenever these teams play,” said

Malebranche.Added Centreville’s Richmond,

“We brought it hard tonight and weknew they’d come out hard as well.”

Bibbee, her team still unbeatenthis season, credited the Wildcatswith playing a strong game.

“I think Centreville generatedmore offense in the first half,” shesaid. “In the second half we gener-ated a few more counter attacks.They are a very strong team — oneof the top five in the area.”

Centreville (7-2-2 overall, 2-1-1district) will play at Edison (Alex-andria) this Friday night at 7.Chantilly (8-0-2) will play againnext Wednesday, May 5 when it trav-els to Stone Bridge High in Ashburn.

Bill Boyle, a seniorpitcher for theChantilly Highbaseball team, put

together video packages lastsummer of himself pitching anddistributed them to severalschools. One of those schoolswas Mary Washington University(Fredericksburg), where baseballcoach Tom Sheridan liked whathe saw.

In January, Boyle met withSheridan, who informed him hewould love to have the young-ster on his Div. 3 baseball roster.So Boyle formally applied toMary Washington and wasaccepted in early March.

Boyle had also consideredElizabethtown College (Pa.).

“It was a tough decision,” he

said. “I likedElizabethtown’s coachand the campus. Itreally came down to[geographic] distanceand price.”

He said he was wonover by Mary Washing-ton right from thestart.

“On my first visit the campusjust blew me away,” he said. “It’sa pretty old school and prettyhistoric, but it also has newbuildings. It’s a pretty good mix.

“I really like coach Sheridan,”said Boyle. “He’s been there like23 years. He did most of thetalking our first meeting andhe’s kept in touch over themonths. He’s real tough but fair.He doesn’t take much stuff fromanyone.”

Boyle, who plans a major inaccounting, said he plans on

playing ball for local baseballcoach Chuck Farris’ 19-underRoyals this summer. He grew upplaying baseball and football inthe local Chantilly Youth Asso-ciation program. In high schoolhe played offensive tackle forthe varsity football team in hissophomore and junior years. Inbaseball, he is a second yearvarsity player who has seenmound action both as a starterand out of the bullpen. Hisfavorite player is Mariano Riveraof the Yankees.

He said choosing a college hasbeen a growing experience.

“It’s taught me patience,definitely,” he said. “As a juniorgoing into my senior year I hadto go through the applicationprocess and call coaches. It’sdefinitely been rewardingknowing I’ll play college base-ball.”

Growing up outside of Manhattan, I originally viewed the DC metro area as verylaid-back when I began college at the University of Maryland in 1988. Trafficwasn’t nearly as intense as the New Jersey suburbs, and everyone here is sofriendly.My college sweetheart, Marian, and I decided to stay in the area because of thegreat job market and vast cultural opportunities in the area. Marian began hercareer with the Department of Defense, and I was at the forefront in sales in thearea’s burgeoning technology sector of the 90s. Living in the DC area hasallowed us to take advantage of our many interests including MarylandBasketball (Go Terps!) and concerts. We are also very active in the Orange HuntPTA and Springfield youth sports leagues.After our first son was born, we felt that I needed a career change. I was theDirector of Sales for a technology firm, working 12 hours a day with an hourcommute and missing out on my family life. After buying and selling severalhouses, I was very interested in the opportunities and flexibility that a career in

real estate offers. My first year in the business proved very successful, and Ihaven’t looked back.I am unique in that I have extensive remodeling and landlording experiencefrom being licensed in Virginia, Maryland, and DC. There has been such ademand for the handling of rental properties in the area, that I also established aProperty Management company to handle my client’s needs in that area as well.Marian, my two sons and I currently reside in the Barrington Community inFairfax Station, Virginia. The metro area is well-known for its beauty, fabulousrestaurants, embracing of our military and great school system, but we mostlylove the area for its wonderful people.Being a Realtor has been tremendously rewarding. Having a chance to assistpeople making life-changing decisions has yielded many new friends, memories,wedding invitations and more!

Getting Ready for Relay for LifeThe Robinette family: Jakob (front row),Stacey, Zakary, and Steve (back row).

Anna and Marion Rantis of Clifton (LittleRocky Run).

knows she and others battlingcancer don’t get a break. So, shesaid, “When you’re tired fromwalking and just feel like crawl-ing in your tent, you rememberthey’re always fighting for theirlives — and this is something wecan do to help.”

At the luminaria ceremony, saidDesman, “You realize this is whywe’re here. I had thyroid cancer,five years ago, and am a survivor.I had a cancer that could betreated successfully, so I wanted toget involved. And my father-in-lawwas recently diagnosed with pros-tate cancer.”

“I don’t think you can find oneperson who doesn’t know some-one who hasn’t been touched byit,” said Hubchen. “The back of ourteam T-shirts says, ‘In honor ofthose who’ve won their battle, insupport of those still fighting andin memory of those who’ve losttheir battle,’ and their names arelisted. A friend of everyone on lastyear’s team lost her battle, andnow her name’s on the shirt, alongwith my grandmother’s.” Desmansaid they want to create awarenessthat “it happens to people of allages and socioeconomic back-grounds. None of us are exempt.”

AND NO ONE’S TOO YOUNGto participate in the Relay. ErinKemble of Little Rocky Run cap-tains the Super Cool Kids team

comprised of 15-20 students ingrades K-12 who attend Union MillElementary, Liberty Middle andCentreville High.

“My friends and I did the Avonwalk, a few years ago, and my kidssaid, ‘We want to do this,’” saidKemble. “On our team, there’s asurvivor, plus kids whose parents,aunts and grandparents are fight-ing cancer. When you’re a kid, youhave no control over it — and thislets them feel they’re doing some-thing productive to help. It alsofocuses them on something out-side themselves.”

The children are designing theirown T-shirts and campsites. “Allthe decisions are up to them; I’mjust there to steer them in the rightdirection,” said Kemble. “My threechildren, 11, 10 and 6, are on theteam, and I’m really excited. If weteach children at a young age to

give back, they can keep it going.”Little Rocky Run’s Stacey

Robinette walks with the CancerCrushers. It’s her second year; shejoined the Relay after her fatherdied of melanoma. “I saw the suf-fering he went through,” she said.“But he never complained; and Ithought, ‘If he can be that braveand strong, I’ll carry on the fightfor him.’”

Whether or not she knows theothers walking, said Robinette,“We have a bond. My husband’sin the Mr. Relay Beauty Pageant,and my kids walk in the children’slap, look for the luminaria bags onwhich they wrote a message formy dad, and cheer me on.”

“You never know when cancerwill hit you or your loved ones,”she said. “And if we can do some-thing, even small, then somedaywe can prevent all this pain andheartache from happening.”

There’s still time to catchCapital Cabaret’s latestshow, featuring Broadway

hits, pop music and timeless stan-dards. Sponsored by The AllianceTheatre, Capital Cabaret will en-tertain this weekend at MountainView School. Show times are Fri-day-Saturday, April 30-May 1, at7:30 p.m., and Sunday, May 2, at2 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the dooror via www.thealliancetheatre.org.

“It’s such a nice blend of duets,trios and groups, plus solos whereindividuals get a chance to shine,”said Stacy Crickmer of Chantilly’sPleasant Valley community. “We’veincluded songs from every decadethat will appeal to everyone.”

The show highlights music fromBroadway shows including “Fid-dler on the Roof,” “Singing in theRain,” “Thoroughly ModernMillie,” “Little Shop of Horrors,”

“Phantom of the Opera” and“Rent,” as well as a tribute to An-drew Lloyd Webber.

Numbers range from uptemposongs to emotional ballads.There’s even a do-wop medley fea-turing “In the Still of the Night”and “Save the Last Dance for Me,”plus a re-creation of Gene Kelly’ssignature tap number from “Sing-ing in the Rain.”

complaint about Routes 50and 29. “The timing of the traf-fic lights is very poor,” he said.“If you could ease congestionthere, it would help.”

VDOT regional traffic engi-neer Hari Sripathi told him,“We have a signal-timing teamto deal with that. But on[Routes] 50 and 29, those sig-

nals are operating above theircapacity and we can’t tweakthem any more than we’vedone.”

The bottom line, saidHerrity, is that “if we can im-prove traffic on I-66, it’ll im-prove traffic on the otherroads because people won’tuse them as much as alter-nates.”
