The Connection
World-renowned storyteller Jim Weissvisited the Herndon ArtSpace Aug.16, to share stories that match upwith ArtSpace’s current theme:
“Standing on the Shoulders of Giants.”Weiss, who has traveled the globe speaking at
museums and lecture halls telling stories of all kinds,told three stories for more than two dozen audiencemembers. The stories ranged fromancient history to Greek mythol-ogy, but all expressed the themein different ways.
“We’re just trying to bring an-other art form to ArtSpace. Besidespaintings, we feature music, sculp-ture, dance and other multimediaart,” said Robin Carroll, presidentof the board of directors for theHerndon Foundation for the Cul-tural Arts, the nonprofit that op-erates ArtSpace. “My family hasbeen a fan of Jim for a many, manyyears, and it was an honor to havehim.”
WEISS told the story of GeorgeWashington, and how he based hiscareer on his hero, Roman politi-cian Cincinnatus. Cincinnatus wasappointed unequivocal head ofstate during a war in 458 B.C., butafter conquering his enemies, heresigned his position.
George Washington did the same thing when, af-ter the Revolutionary War, he gave up his near-abso-lute control of the American Army. He also gave uphis title as president after eight years, setting a pre-cedent that was eventually adopted into law as the22nd Amendment in 1951.
He also told the story of mythical Irish giant FinnMcCool and Greek giant Atlas, injecting historicalfacts into each tale. He talked about how even thefictional giants made their mark on today’s culture.
The audience was made up of grade school chil-dren and adults, so Weiss made sure to keep bothgroups engaged. Some children in the audience onlyknew Weiss from his audio recordings, and they wereable to put a face to the voice.
“I’ve learned a lot of new things from his stories,”said Michael Tischer, 10. “He’s great at going intodetail without making it long and boring.”
His mother Kimberly says he listens to the CDs allthe time while at home, and it helps him in his school-work.
“He really has a way with stories,and it’s nice that he introducesthings like Greek mythology toyounger children,” she said. “He’sused them a lot as inspiration forhis school assignments.”
AS AN ART GALLERY in theheart of downtown Herndon,ArtSpace has all the appearancesof a standard art gallery, but staffhave gone out of their way to pro-vide a more interactive experience.
“As an art gallery, we wantArtSpace to be more than just aplace you walk into, look at thepaintings and leave,” said LesZidel, a volunteer at the gallery.“We want to develop somethingmore. We don’t want art to bestuffy, or only for the elite, wewant it to be a major part of thecommunity.”
Weiss, no stranger to culturalvenues across the world, said he was impressed withthe dedication and quality of the arts featured at thegallery.
“There are so many young, talented painters ondisplay here that are really museum-quality,” he said.“This place is a real gem.”
ArtSpace will be celebrating its birthday with PaintHerndon, a competition open to the entire commu-nity Sept. 4. More information is available atwww.artspaceherndon.com. More information aboutWeiss can be found at www.greathall.com.

Opinion
In September, the International Press Institute will celebrate its 60th anniversaryin Vienna, Austria by adding 10 journalists to its list of World Press Freedom
Heroes, bringing the total to 60.The International Press Institute is a global
network of editors, media executives and jour-nalists dedicated to freedom of the press, theprotection of freedom of opinion and expres-sion, the promotion of the free flow of newsand information, and the improvement of thepractices of journalism.
Why does it matter? Halfway through2010, at least 45 journalists, 10 of themin Mexico, have been killed around theworld to silence them. 109 were killedin 2009. Both organized criminals (like drugcartels in Mexico) and government authoritieswho do not want to see their activities exposedgo to extreme lengths to suppress information.
Why is it local? Of the 50 World Press Free-dom Heroes named 10 years ago — and whowill be honored again in Vienna next month— one is Kemal Kurspahic, managing editorand community editor for the Vienna, McLean,Great Falls, Reston and Oak Hill/Herndon Con-nections.
According to the World Press Freedomaward:
In December 1988, Kurspahic was namededitor-in-chief of Oslobodjenje, Sarajevo’s70,000 circulation daily newspaper, the firstelected by the paper’s staff. Until then, theCommunist Party had controlled all editorialappointments.
Then after the communists wereousted and Bosnia’s first demo-cratic elections held, one ofKurspahic’s first battles was tomaintain his paper’s newly ac-quired editorial independenceagainst a coalition of nationalistparties, through a constitutionalcourt case in 1991.
During the war in Bosnia andHerzegovina, despite snipers’ bul-lets, constant shelling, and news-
print shortages, thepaper’s multi-ethnic staffof Bosniaks, Serbs andCroats — guided by Kurspahic —
worked day and night in a nuclear bomb shel-ter to put out a daily issue of the paper, pro-viding one of the city’s only sources of infor-mation. The paper’s modern high-rise build-ing was reduced to rubble by the shelling, andyet the paper was produced every day.Oslobodjenje was a symbol of coexistence andthe struggle against intolerance and “ethniccleansing.”
Between 1992 and 1995, more than 10,500people were killed in the Sarajevo area. Fiveemployees were killed and more than 20wounded. Kurspahic himself was injured in acar crash in 1992 while eluding sniper fire.Throughout this period, Kurspahic and his staffnever missed a day of publication, despiteshortages of electricity, fuel, paper and ink.
Kurspahic was a Nieman Fellow at HarvardUniversity; Clark Fellow at Cornell University;
and a Senior Fellow at the US Institute of Peaceand worked for five years for the United Na-tions Office on Drugs and Crime, first as thespokesman in Vienna (2001-2004) and then
as the Caribbean regional repre-sentative, responsible for 29 statesand territories. Kurspahic servedas the managing editor of TheConnection Newspapers from1997-2001, returning in thespring of 2007 after his time withUnited Nations. Kurspahic has ex-celled at community journalism inNorthern Virginia, winning manyawards here, teaching editors andreporters by example, and servingthe community by continuouslyincreasing the number of localvoices in the papers he edits.
He is the author of four books,including “Prime Time Crime: Balkan Mediain War and Peace” (US Institute of Peace Press,2003) and “As Long as Sarajevo Exists”(Pamphleteer’s Press, 1997).
Sometimes in the last two years during therecession, it has taken what feels like heroicefforts to continue to publish independentlyowned, hyper-local newspapers that have tooperate on current revenues. But the biggestphysical threat to reporters here is probablythe automobile accident. As for intimidation,it is garden variety, officials who threaten towithhold information when they don’t likewhat we write.
Here at the Connection, we have KemalKurspahic to remind us about true heroic ef-forts of journalism.

Fairfax County Public Schools was theonly school district in Northern Virginia andone of only a handful in the entire com-monwealth to meet the testing standardslaid out by the No Child Left Behind Lawthis year.
In general, the Fairfax exceeded othersin Virginia when it came to standardizedtests in 2010, according to the scores re-leased by the Virginia Department of Edu-cation Aug. 12.
Ninety-three percent of Fairfax’s studentpopulation passed the English exam com-pared to 89 percent of students in the com-monwealth as a whole. And 92 percent ofFairfax students passed the mathematicstest compared to 88 percent of Virginia stu-dents overall.
Smaller subgroups of students fromFairfax schools also performed better thanthose in Virginia in general. Black, white andpoor students from Fairfax passed the En-glish and math exams in greater numbersthan their peers across the commonwealth.
A larger percentage of students with dis-abilities and students with limited Englishskills also scored proficient on the standard-ized tests when compared with Virginia stu-dents on average.
But one cohort of Fairfax students, thosewho are Hispanic, did not outperform their
peers in other parts of Virginia.Eighty-six percent of Hispanic students in
Fairfax passed the English exam, just barelybeating out the 85 percent of Hispanic stu-dents who passed the test in Virginia over-all.
Local Hispanic students performed aboutthe same on the mathematics exam as oth-ers in the commonwealth, with about 82percent of students passing in Fairfax andacross Virginia.
The percentage of Hispanic students whograduate from a Fairfax high school in fouryears was 57 percent, lower than thecommonwealth’s average of 60 percent forHispanic students.
Fairfax’s graduation rate for all other sub-groups of students - those who are white,Black, poor, have a disability or limited En-glish - is higher than Virginia’s average, ac-cording to the report issued by the VirginiaDepartment of Education.
According to the education department’sreport, Hispanic students also made upnearly half of all the students who droppedout of the Fairfax County Public Schoolsduring the 2008-2009 school year, thoughHispanic students make up just 16 percentof Fairfax’s high school population.

The Connection
The conclusion of thesummertime swimseason for organizations such as the
Northern Virginia Swim League(NVSL) also marks the end of theindividual summer season swimcareers for older team memberswho have often been a part of theirrespective clubs for 10 or moreyears.
Numerous older teenagers whohave grown up enjoying the socialand competitive benefits of beingpart of a summer season swimteam finally reach the age wherethey are no longer eligible to ac-tively compete in the weeklymeets.
This is a bittersweet time for theyoung men and women, who areoften preparing for their first orsecond years of college in the up-coming fall while also enjoyingone last hurrah with the summerteams of their youth.
NVSL swimmers, according toleague rules, become ineligible toswim for their teams once theyturn 19 years of age. The rippleeffects of older swimmers mov-ing on is a natural progressionbut also one that hits programshard as those veteran teammembers have often served asleaders and good role modelsto their younger teammates.
Adam Pennington, 18, justcompleted his final full seasonas a member of the CardinalHill swim team in Vienna.Pennington, who graduated fromJames Madison High School thispast June, will swim within the IvyLeague this upcoming school yearas a freshmen member of the Co-lumbia University (New York City)swim team. Next summer, he willbe allowed to swim for CardinalHill until his 19th birthday comeson July 9. At that time, his sum-mer swim career will be officiallyended and he will no longer beallowed to compete in his team’smeets.
So Pennington, who was a starhigh school swimmer in recentyears at Madison, tried to enjoythis recently completed summerseason the best he could.
“Next summer I won’t be able to
swim for Cardinal Hill the wholeyear,” said Pennington, who justcompleted his 13th year as a teammember. “When you’re 11 or 12,you kind of take for granted beingpart of a team like this. But thelast year or so I started thinking,‘Wow, I want to get the most outof [my remaining years with theteam].’”
Pennington, who has been a partof the McLean Fish club team since2001, made his swim mark atMadison where, as a junior, he waspart of two Warhawk relay teams— the 200 and 400-free relays —that set Virginia state high schoolrecords. During his senior year,Pennington, in individual events,finished second in the state in the500-freestyle and third in the 200-free.
He has loved his years swim-ming for Cardinal Hill, which was2-3 this summer in NVSL Division4. The team has had its ups anddowns over the years. Penningtonrecalled one summer when theteam failed to win a meet and an-other one, in 2009, when the teamwent a perfect 5-0 and won the Di-vision 5 title.
“I’ve seen the team transitionbetween [different] coaches andI’ve seen the bad times and thegood times,” he said. “You get thewhole experience and full rangeof emotions being part of it for 13years. As you get older, it’s less andless about winning and moreabout the good times with yourfriends.”
During his career at CardinalHill, Pennington has broken fiveteam records, some of whichhave since been broken byothers. He said he has com-peted in at least seven sea-son-ending All Star meets. Atthis summer’s All Stars onAug. 7 at Broyhill Crest Poolin Annandale, Penningtonfinished second in the 50-back and fourth place in the50-IM.
He said he consciouslystepped up into more of ateam leadership role thissummer.
“Definitely this year morethan other seasons,” he said.“[In prior years] there werealways older team membersthan me so I didn’t assume
[as much] leadership un-til this year. Being a leader is alot of fun. We got blown out ina few meets and I told the kidsit’s not all about the winning. Ithink good sportsmanship is thebiggest thing.”
ELIZABETH HALL of the Pop-lar Tree team in Chantillyturned 19 on July 31. She com-
peted for the Pirates most of thesummer until her birthday. There-after, she could not participate inany of her team’s postseasonevents, including All Stars.
In her final meet as an eligibleswimmer several weeks ago, Hall,in a home meet, broke an NVSLrecord in the girls’ 15-18, 50-but-terfly event. She had originallybroken the league record in theevent two summers ago before herteammate and friend, AmandaKendall, broke that mark last sum-mer. But Hall reclaimed the leaguerecord last month with a time of28.26. During her Poplar Treeswim career, Hall was a four-timeNVSL champion in the fly and free.
“I knew I wouldn’t have the op-
SEAN FLETCHER of Division3 Hunter Mill (Vienna) com-pleted his NVSL career with abang at All Stars by breaking aleague record in the boys’ 15-18, 50-back event with a timeof 25.82, ahead of second placePennington (28.04). He alsowas first in the 50-fly (25.07).Fletcher, who swam at MadisonHigh (where he was a team-mate of Pennington), is a risingsophomore and team memberat the University of Michigan.
Of his record-breaker in the50-back, Fletcher said, “It wasa pretty smooth race for me. I’mreally happy with it and wantedto get under 26 [seconds]. Itwas real nice to go out with a
ribbon in my last swim. I’ve beenswimming [for Hunter Mill] a longtime so this is bitter sweet. Thewhole team atmosphere here hasbeen a lot of fun.”
Fletcher said the swim competi-tion at Michigan was fierce dur-ing his freshmen year. His finalsummer within the NVSL wasmuch less stressful.
“A lot of [NVSL swimming] ismostly fun,” said Fletcher, one ofthe Northern Region’s top swim-mers during his high school career.“For me, this is about relaxing andhaving a good time. This summerI wanted to jump in, swim fast,and see what happened.”
Fletcher said he’ll likely serve asa Hunter Mill assistant coach nextyear. Now, he is preparing for hissecond year of swimmingcollegiately for the Wolverines.
“I’m looking forward to it andto bettering my times,” he said, ofthe upcoming college season. “Ijust want to enjoy the season.”

portunity [this summer] to breakany records at All Stars or atDivisionals,” said Hall, knowingher birthday would come prior tothose postseason meets.
Hall, along with holding theleague mark in the 50-butterfly,holds Poplar Tree club records inboth that event as well as the 50-back. She missed setting a newleague record in 50-back by two-tenths of a second.
Breaking the league mark in the50-fly in her final competition asa Poplar Tree team member wasan overwhelming experience forHall, who has competed 11 yearswith the Pirates.
“It was very emotional knowingit was my last race,” said Hall, ofthe 50-fly. “The whole team wasbehind me. It was a great experi-ence.”
Hall, a rising sophomore at Wil-liam & Mary where she is study-ing psychology, has been a swim-mer-assistant coach the past fouryears with the Pirates. She planson continuing in that role with theteam next summer.
“When you’re 11 or 12,you kind of take forgranted being part of ateam like this.”— Adam Pennington, Cardinal Hill
