Usually, St. Baldrick’s fund-raisers are held in March,close to St. Patrick’s Day.

But as far as Westfield High juniorKaila Torpey is concerned, “Thereisn’t a specific date to help find acure for cancer — especiallychildren’s cancer. Why should weonly support it in March, whenchildren suffer from cancer everyday?”

So for that reason, she organizedand held a St. Baldrick’s event,Sunday, June 5, at Foster’s Grillein Centreville. What’s more, shealso participated. Just 17, withblond hair down to her waist, shehad it all shaved off.

Home Life Style

One of the advantages ofNorthern Virginia’s gener-ally mild climate is thathomeowners can use their

outdoor spaces with impunity—oftensocializing outside until the first frost.Clearly, this is one reason why localindoor/outdoor solutions are increas-ingly well-furnished, highly-equippedand often wired living rooms that justhappen to be surrounded by trees andfresh air.

Case in point: the recently completedscreen porch and decking system to aReston home situated on two acrespeacefully nestled into a wooded set-aside.

The spacious five-bedroom home theowners had purchased in 1997 alreadyincluded a 330-square-foot screen porch

linked to a great room on the southcorner of the rear elevationand a 780-square-foot deckon the opposite corner thatsegued from the sun room.The two outdoor platformswere not linked butthoughts of forming alarger whole were wellunderway when TroyFenley and team enteredthe scene.Fenley, now atSun Design Remodeling inBurke, was completingseveral interior rooms forthe Reston residence whenthe owner asked him tochat about some ideas forfinishing the outdoorspace.

The solution included double the size of the screen porch—

which now includes stone-faced gas fireplace, rotating

overhead fans and a flat screen TV. A perfect place to take in

The state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen of this Reston home

features a gas grill, a wok, warming drawers and a clean-

up sink as well as stainless steel cabinetry embedded in a

stone-faced support. The glass canopy protects the chef

Guest Room Shuffle Local designers suggest thrifty and generous ways

to decorate for out of town guests.

By Meredith Billman-ManiThe Connection

Local interior designers Lauren Liessfrom Herndon and Jill Sorensenfrom McLean have turned many

rooms into guest rooms for their clients.

They have spent years learning the tricks

for updating a guestroom quickly and inex-

pensively while creating an inviting space.

Though their decorating talents are in high

demand and the jobs they do command top

dollar, Liess and Sorensen have each devel-

oped several tricks that can work on any

budget to create a guest bedroom with ap-

peal.If the homeowner is fortunate enough to

have a dedicated space for a guest bedroom,

the prep work before a guest arrives is less.

“Guests are looking for a room that’s com-

fortable and inviting but empty enough for

them to put their things. You don’t want it

to be as cold as a hotel,” says Liess. Liess

said that having a space for two suitcases,

on a stand or on the floor, is key and that

clearing space in a closet for guests to hang

their clothes is important. “These touches

will make them feel welcome,” Liess said.

“A fantastic mattress, super soft sheets and

great towels,” are the elements Sorensen

sees going into an elegant guest room and

generous budget. “Comfort makes the dif-

ference. I would add a seating area and a

desk. And situate the room in a quiet part

of the house,” Sorensen said.See Guest Room, Page 17

A survivor of four laborcamps, a WWII ghetto, aconcentration camp and a

death march, Nesse Godin broughta message recently to eighth-grad-ers at Franklin Middle School —as she’s done for some 20 years.Despite and because of the horrorsshe’s lived through, she urgedthem to be both tolerant and hope-ful.

“I dedicated my life to teachingchildren the danger that indiffer-ence and prejudice can do,” saidGodin. Referring to the 9/11 trag-edy and noting the dire situationin Darfur today, she said, “We can’tjust say, ‘Never again;’ we have totake action. We should learn fromthe Holocaust not to treat some-body evil.”

She’s spoken before the UnitedNations and, on March 23, washonored by the American Legion.But speaking to young peoplemeans even more to her, she said,because “they are the future of thecountry and the world. They willmake the decisions about how it’sgoing to be.”

Godin, 83, grew up in Shauliai,Lithuania with her parents andtwo older brothers. Her countrywas a democracy and, for awhile,she had a normal life with “manyhopes and dreams.” But in 1941,when she was 13, the Germanarmies marched through her coun-try.

“There were mobile, killingunits,” she said. “I hope you beau-tiful, young people never join agang or anything that stands forevil. They gathered and jailed themen and boys for ‘relocation’ towork.” Instead, they were mur-dered.

That’s when Godin realized theHolocaust was happening to her.“I was no longer able to go toschool,” she said. “You people arethe age of my grandchildren. Doyou know how lucky you are to beable to go to school? We weren’table to walk on the street and wehad to wear yellow stars on thefront and back of our garments.The Jews looked like everyone elseso, this way, they could identify us.If I’d taken it off, they would shootme.”

Her town of 10,000 people hadseveral leather factories so, to sur-vive, the Jewish Council there toldthe Nazis the residents could makeboots for the German army. But bythen, Shauliai had become aghetto.

“In those days, our town was ajail surrounded by barbed wireand guarded by Lithuanian po-lice,” said Godin. “These were thesame police who I was taught, asa girl, would help me if I was lost.”Meanwhile, she said, the Naziswent through the residents’ homesand stole their things.

One day, a 17-year-old girlhelped Godin obtain a certificateto get into a ghetto with her fam-ily, and that decision saved her life.

“Every day, the decisions you makecan make a difference,” she toldthe students. “Some 3,500 people— men, women and children —who didn’t get into the ghettowere killed.”

Of her life in the ghetto, she re-called “hunger and fear, beggingfor a piece of bread. We can’tchange what was then, but we canlearn from it and change what isnow, and what will be, and teachpeople how to make a betterworld.”

On Nov. 5, 1943, Godin was 15and a half when her mother toldher, “My child, the trucks arehere.” The teen was instructed togo to work that morning outsidethe ghetto. “That night, returningto the ghetto, we heard cries likeI’d never heard before,” she said.“People said the Gestapo andUkranians had come through

After Nesse Godin spoke with Franklin Middlestudents about her harrowing experiencesduring WWII, she answered their questions

and told them what happened to her when the warended.

A girl asked if it was difficult for her to talk abouther past, and she replied, “I’ve been doing it manyyears and I’ve learned to control my tears.”

A boy asked if Godin had any particular strategyfor surviving the death march and labor camps.“There were no plans,” she said. “But the otherwomen told me, ‘You have to have hope; God isgood.’”

And as things turned out, Godin went on to live ahappy life. “At 17, I was liberated and was later re-united with my mother,” she said. “Mama and Iworked in a soup kitchen in a shelter, and she saidI’d have to get married. She said she’d ask someoneto marry me, and she did.”

The person she asked said yes, and he and Godinwed when she was 18. She and her husband Jackhave now been married almost 65 years and have ason, two daughters, seven grandchildren and twogreat-grandchildren. They live in Silver Spring, Md.,and Godin speaks extensively about her experiencesto a variety of organizations and has received manyhonors for her humanitarian work.

Glad to have heard her speak, eighth-grader FionaKisiday called Godin’s story “really beautiful and in-spiring. I’m never going to take anything for granted,like my name and freedom and the choices I make.And I’m going to like school now.”

“It was very motivational to help everyone lovewhat they have and to not stereotype things, but totake them as a whole,” said classmate Annie Will-iams. “You should look at a person for who and howthey are, not just how they look.”

Franklin Principal Sharon Eisenberg said it waswonderful to have someone with Godin’s back-ground, experience and firsthand knowledge share

Firefighter Recruits Aid Cancer Research

A 2001 Centreville Highgrad, Sean O’Neill hasspent his adult life help-

ing others. He served his coun-try in Iraq, obtained his degreein justice studies from JMU andreceived his EMT (emergencymedical technician) certifica-tion.

He’s now part of the FairfaxCounty Fire and Rescue 131stRecruit School, and he and his classmates are hold-ing a head-shaving fundraiser for cancer research insupport of the family of one of their own.

“Several weeks after our academy began on March28, the father of one of our fellow recruits was diag-nosed with cancer,” said O’Neill, 28. “So we’re rais-ing money for the American Cancer Society in honorof our classmate’s father.”

Besides collecting donations from their own fam-ily members and friends, the recruits are reachingout to the community for help. In exchange for con-tributions received, they’ll shave their own heads andthose of the Basic Training staff.

“The more money we raise, the more staff-mem-bers’ heads we get to shave,” said O’Neill. “Our ulti-mate goal is to raise $15,000 to donate to the Ameri-can Cancer Society, Cancer Research Division. Ourdeadline is Monday, June 20 at 7 a.m. This is not anofficial Fairfax County Fire and Rescue Departmentevent, but a class fund-raiser with the support of theBasic Training Staff.”

The 23 class members started collecting last monthand, said O’Neill, “Any and every donation amountis greatly appreciated. More money equals more hairshaved. People who send donations will receive aphoto of the event, plus a tax-deductible receipt.”

Checks payable to the American Cancer Societyshould be mailed to: Fairfax County Fire & RescueAcademy, 4600 West Ox Road, Fairfax, VA 22030,attn: Basic Training – 131st Recruit School Fund-Raiser.

“Our families play a key role in supporting usthrough our recruit training,” said O’Neill. “So wewant to show our support — not just for our fellowrecruit — but for his family, as well.”

Tim Harmon never got to grow old with hiswife, raise his two daughters to adulthoodor even see his grandson, now 11. Matthew

was born a year after his grandfather, a longtimeFairfax County employee, died of hepatitis C at age51.

But Harmon left behind a legacy that’s helpedcountless people deal with and overcome the hor-rors of substance abuse. So each year, the TimHarmon Memorial 5K Run/Walk is held in his honorat the county Government Center and raises moneytoward a cure for hepatitis C.

The upcoming race, the 12th annual, is set for Sat-urday, June 25, at 8:30 a.m., rain or shine, andsignups are still open. Cost is $25, and registrationis at www.prraces.com or in person on race day, from7-8:15 a.m.

“We’re keeping our fingers crossed and hoping forgood weather,” said race director Tom Cook ofChantilly’s Armfield Farm community. “Last year’sTim Harmon run was our most successful yet; weraised $18,000 for charity.”

The course is mostly flat and fast, beginning andending in front of the Government Center and goingout to West Ox Road and Monument Drive. Partici-pants may either walk or run. For more information,call 703-383-8441, e-mailpeggy.cook@fairfaxcounty.gov or seewww.timharmon5k.org.

Harmon died in 1999 but, before then, he did hisbest to help people battling addiction. He worked20 years for Fairfax County and was director of Resi-dential Services for Alcohol and Drug Services (ADS)

He also founded a substance-abuse treatment pro-gram for teen-agers. Because of his efforts, seven newresidential treatment programs were opened. He alsohelped expand those at A New Beginning and FairfaxDetox in Chantilly, New Generations in Vienna, plusCrossroads and Sunrise House.

“Tim hired me in 1984 as a substance-abuse coun-selor [for ADS],” said Cook, who still holds that po-sition and works with teens as a prevention supervi-sor with the Fairfax-Falls Church Community ServicesBoard. “He was a driving force behind many of thiscounty’s services.”

So the race is held to remember Harmon and toraise awareness of hepatitis C. Proceeds go to chari-ties including the Hepatitis Foundation, the Ameri-can Liver Foundation and local drug-treatment cen-ters, including Sunrise in Fair Oaks.

Prizes in the 5K are awarded to the top three, maleand female overall finishers, plus the top three fin-ishers in 14 age-group categories. There are four racedivisions: Runners/walkers, Fairfax County employ-ees, baby joggers and public safety. Fire, police andsheriff’s department personnel will compete againsteach other for team and individual trophies.

Registered participants receive custom T-shirts de-signed by Kay Rankin. Sports Plus & BattlefieldScreen, CASSADAY Inc., Potomac River RunningBooz-Allen Hamilton and Inova Comprehensive Ad-diction Treatment Services are the major sponsors.

I’m just proud tobe acknowledged for what I lovedoing anyway. Everyone workedso hard to get here. We don’t needthe awards to know we had a greattime working together, but awardscan’t hurt.”

Westfield’s first Cappie on Sun-day went to junior Joey Biagini forReturning Critic. “I’m really ex-cited,” he said. “I won last year forRising Critic, and this is reallygreat. I saw 17 shows and had alot of fun; I really enjoyed myself.”

Senior Kieran Claffey receivedthe award for Sound. “This Cappieis as much for my assistant, Dieter,as for me,” he said. “This is fan-tastic. I got nominated last year,but didn’t win. But this year, I triedso hard and put a lot of effort intothe show. We ran 18 mikes at onetime, and I had to harmonize them

“This is amazing,” added Dezelick. “You can’t watchthis show and not want to get up on stage and dance— and I think that’s the reason we won.”

But that wasn’t his only award; Dezelick also cap-tured the Cappie for Comic Actor in a Musical. Andas he bounced down the hall backstage after receiv-ing it, he was so joyful that he could barely keep hisfeet on the ground.

“I’m apparently funny,” he said. But he wasn’t atall certain he’d win this category, “knowing all thepeople who were nominated — especially the per-son who dressed as a woman in ‘Hairspray.’ Whenthey announced the winner, I just hoped I’d heardmy name right, in all the chaos.”

Westfield’s musical featured a seemingly unend-ing variety and style of colorful costumes, and that’sbecause costume designers Carrie Nye and KatelynReimer developed a prototype of each one and thenpractically had an assembly line working feverishlyto produce 377 costume pieces plus accessories. Sothey were delighted to receive the Cappie for Cos-tumes.

“I’m so excited,” said Nye. “I think the judges real-ized and respected how much hard work we put intoit and the hundreds of costumes we made.”

“I’m shocked, but so pleased,” said Reimer. “Therewere so many costumes and we wanted to make asmany as we could. We went to so many rehearsalsand put in so much time.”

Centreville High only won one Cappie award,but it was a good one — Supporting Actorin a Musical — and junior Anthony

Ingargiola brought it home. In his school’s produc-tion of “Working,” he played several roles, includinga migrant worker, stonemason and firefighter.

In his acceptance speech, he thanked his LibertyMiddle theater director, Jody Scott; Centreville’s the-ater director, Mike Hudson; his voice teacher, NancySmith; and Zoe Dillard, who directed him inCentreville Presbyterian Church’s “Les Miserables.”

And to everyone gathered in The Kennedy Centerfor the Cappie Awards, Sunday night, June 12,Ingargiola made a plea to them to “please continueto support the arts. It means so much to us, espe-cially in theater.”

Backstage, star-topped trophy in hand, he was abit stunned at his victory, but very happy. “My legsare shaking; I didn’t expect it — I’m just a junior,” hesaid. “But I’m glad. It surprised me, but it’s a reallybig honor. The characters I played were so real andhonest, and I think the judges really liked that.”

So did Hudson, who was thrilled with Ingargiola’striumph. “No one is more deserving of the honor than

Anthony,” said Centreville’s director. “His insight intohis characters and the hours that he puts into re-search and character development are indicators ofhis commitment. Anthony Ingargiola is a consum-mate professional, and his dedication to his craftmakes his success possible. I am so very pleased andvery proud that Anthony has received this award.”

Chantilly High also won a Cappie for the huge andrealistic set it created for the play, “Stage Door.” Sincethree students — Lauren Phillips, Brad Vitale andChloe Vasquez— share the award, it will be placedin the school’s trophy case.

Vitale said he was “just happy” with the victory,and Vasquez attributed it to “the two stories and spi-ral staircase we designed. You could believe all thosepeople [in the story] were living there.”

“We worked so hard, and I think we really deserved[this Cappie],” added Phillips. “It’s so amazing toreceive an award.”

Chantilly Theater Director Ed Monk was delighted,as well. “We are all thrilled here to have won theBest Set award, and we are all so proud of Lauren,Brad and Chloe,” he said. “Lauren and Brad designedand built the structure and Chloe did the interiordesign. They worked so hard on the set, and it’s sonice that the Cappies critics recognized them.”

The nice thing about the Set award, continuedMonk, is that “literally everyone in the cast and crewworked on the set in some way, so they all had apart in its success.

It’s the seventh time in the 12 years of the Cappiesthat we have won this award, and it is a testamentto the hard work and discipline of the students. Theyare an amazing group.”

“We had over 600 participants last year and weexpect close to that amount, this time,” said Cook.“It’s a lot of work organizing everything, but a hand-ful of us on the race committee have been doing itsince year one. Most of us knew and worked withTim, and it was sad to see him die at age 51.”

Literature in the race packets educates peopleabout hepatitis C and how to avoid contracting It.Harmon’s disease was discovered through a routineblood test but, unfortunately, there’s no vaccine for

this silent killer. It has no symptoms, so people don’trealize they have it until they’re diagnosed. But bythen, their livers may be irreparably damaged — andthat’s what happened to Harmon. (For more infor-mation, call 1-800-891-0707 or see www.hepfi.org).

“It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 years — it seemslike yesterday,” said Cook. “So if we can encouragepeople to get tested, we might prevent this from hap-pening to someone else — and maybe they’ll livelonger than Tim did.”

Cook said more than 4 million people in the U.S.have been infected with the virus — but as many ashalf of them don’t know it. “At least 75 percent ofthose infected develop chronic hepatitis, and 30 per-cent of them go on to develop cirrhosis of the liver,”he said. “Chronic liver disease due to hepatitis Ccauses 20,000 deaths each year in the United States,alone.”

mom, Paulette Torpey, of VirginiaRun, at the start of the festivities.“She got her senior portraits doneearly so she could be shaved to-day.” And not only did Kaila getshorn, but so did her mother,brother, uncle, nephew and acousin. Her mom’s the librarian atCentre Ridge Elementary, andsome of her friends, colleaguesand students were there to supportand cheer on the seven shavees.

Foster’s Grille donated 10 per-cent of its food proceeds duringthe event. In addition, balloon art-ist Mike Becvar made fanciful, bal-loon hats for the children and do-nated his tips to the cause, andhairstylist Tina Chambers of HairStudio 54 in Chantilly did theshaving for free.

The atmosphere on therestaurant’s patio was joyful andfun but, before the shaving began,Kaila had some serious things tosay to everyone there. First, shethanked them for coming and toldthem how much it meant to her.

“Every three-and-a-half minutes,a child is diagnosed with cancer,”she said. “That’s 160,000 eachyear. When a number that big isassociated with something as hor-rible as cancer, it makes you viewthings differently. I’m sure almosteveryone here has been affectedby cancer somehow, whether itwas a loved one or a friend. I’mno exception.”

Some of her relatives have hadcancer and, when Westfield stu-dent Dalton Gulsby lost his battlewith the disease last year, at age16, it saddened her deeply.

“When you witness someoneyou love going through cancer, it’sone of the hardest things,” saidKaila. “All you can do is sit therewith words of encouragement and,as hard as you try, it’s not enoughsometimes. You can’t make thepain stop or the constant hospitalvisits go away. And you can’t givethem their normal life back.”

She said children — girls, inparticular — who lose their hairduring cancer treatment, “don’tthink they look good, anymore. I’mstanding up here today to tell themthey are beautiful, regardless ifthey have hair or not.”

Kaila thanked Westfield studentHannah Brookhart, for advisingher how to put on the fund-raiser

and helping her “every step of theway.” She also thanked her mother.“At first, I was the only one shav-ing my head, but my mom decidedto support me, like she does witheverything, and join me,” saidKaila. Looking directly at her, shesaid, “I’m honored to be calledyour daughter.”

The event raised $6,000 and at-

Westfield High Wins 10 Cappie AwardsFrom Page 4

Comic Actor in a Musical:Colby Dezelick, WestfieldHigh School, “Joseph andthe Amazing TechnicolorDreamcoat.”

Ensemble in a Musical went tothe 11 students who portrayedJoseph’s brothers in the show:Dezelick, Connor Scudder, TrevorKnickerbocker, Max and JakeEhrlich, Adam Thomas, Chaz Cof-fin, Mitchell Buckley, Ozzy Tirmizi,Ben Nelms and Nick Burroughs.

“I’m so happy because weworked so hard to put this showtogether and create this amazingensemble of brothers who lovedeach other deeply,” said MaxEhrlich. “We became a family onand off stage.”

Agreeing, Thomas said, “Nogroup of actors could be as closeand cohesive as the brothers were.But even though we got great feed-back from the critics, seeing theother competition, we weren’t socertain we’d win.” But they werethrilled that they did.

“It was a rush, definitely,” said

Knickerbocker. “Before they calledour name, we were squeezing eachother’s hands in the audience. Thisis not just for us, it’s for all of us inthe show.”

“I’m excited about winning,”said Jake Ehrlich. “It was a greathonor to put this show together.”Added Scudder: “We’re so happyfor everyone. This is the one thingwe were hoping to go home with,and I’m so proud of our entire castand crew.”

Speaking on behalf of the BestSong award for “Megamix,” theshow’s finale, Tirmizi said, “It’sbeen a great journey and I’m trulyglad to have worked with thepeople I have, at Westfield. It feelsgreat.”

Scudder said they didn’t thinkthey’d win this, particular trophybecause “at first, we didn’t like thissong; it was so long and we weretired by the end of the show.” But,

added Max Ehrlich, “It turned outbetter than we expected.”

Westfield’s award-winning Crit-ics Team consisted of Elisabeth andMadeleine Bloxam, Joey Biagini,Zoe Tippl, Kerowyn Brewer, AbbyPicard, Brittany Simmons, MitchellBuckley and Sunny Vinsavich. AndElisabeth Bloxam said this honor,too, caught them by surprise.

“There were so many greatteams this year that put in somuch,” she said. “We’re extremelyflattered to be recognized for ourdedication to the Cappies pro-gram.”

Culminating Westfield’s tri-umphs Sunday night was theCappie for Best Musical. Freshfrom receiving their own awards,the Ehrlich brothers, Thomas,Knickerbocker, Clay, Scudder andTirmizi huddled backstage to-gether in a circle, heads bowedand arms around each other in

solidarity, hoping to hear theirschool’s name announced onemore time. And when it was, theyerupted in joy, whooping andshouting, arms raised in victory.

Accepting this trophy forWestfield were Clay, ElisabethBloxam, Dezelick and Hobbs. “Thisis the complete, joint effort of ev-eryone wanting to make this showfantastic,” said Clay.

Hobbs said it was “truly an en-semble show,” and Bloxam calledit “the perfect combination of ev-erything — choreography, cos-tumes and talented students —coming together so well.”

“It’s exhilarating to win BestMusical,” added Dezelick. “We puta lot of heart into this, and I’m soglad we have something to showfor it.”

Joining the students in celebra-tion afterward, Principal Tim Tho-mas was also jubilant. “What an

amazing night for Westfield The-ater,” he said. “I can’t say enoughabout our students and their tal-ents, our parents and their sup-port, and our director and her ex-pertise. I’m extremely proud of allour Bulldogs. Go, go, Joseph!”

Holocaust Survivor Speaks with Students

Godin’s Story Moves StudentsFrom Page 2

the message of tolerance andhope. She said it was also timelybecause, at that point, the studentswere studying WWII and the Ho-locaust.

English Department Chair Kim-berly Scott noted that students inall English classes would soon bereading Anne Frank’s diary, so “Wefelt like it would help them under-stand the personal impact the Ho-

locaust had on the survivors stillamong us, and down their familylines. Some of the parents heretoday had relatives who were Ho-locaust survivors.” “We hope thisunit makes an indelible impressionupon the students and they’ll learnthat one person can make a dif-ference,” continued Scott. “Thesepeople are treasures — therearen’t many of them left.”

Eisenberg said it was also re-

markable that Godin is able to tellher story because “so many survi-vors can’t — it’s just too difficultfor them. But she knew just whatto say and how to make it relevantto the students.”

“Students have come back, yearslater, and told us how much hear-ing her meant to them,” addedScott. “They said this made thebiggest impression on them whilethey were here.”

there.”Godin said Jewish women

weren’t allowed to have babiesthen, but some were born in theghetto. “A man in black came inand raised his thumb to determinewho lived or died,” she said. “Onethousand innocent childrenthrough age 14, some 500 elderlyand sick people, plus a few hun-dred healthy ones, were killed inthe Auschwitz gas chambers. Nochildren, no future. My father was47, but he was killed because the

evil of the Holocaust was allowedin humanity.”

In 1944, the Germans were re-treating. But, said Godin, “Theydidn’t leave us behind. I was 16and separated from my motherand brothers, but other Jewishwomen looked out for me. Wewere stripped naked and beaten.My family and belongings weretaken from me, but I still had myname — until I became just a num-ber in a concentration camp.People who went into the show-ers were gassed and killed.”

She said a woman came to herone day and said, “Little girl,you’re going to be killed, so try toget into a labor camp.” Godin suc-ceeded in being placed in such acamp with 5,000 women. Butshe’d exchanged one hell for an-other. “In those camps, they didn’thave to kill us — we died of dis-ease and starvation,” she said. “Itwas the worst year of my life.”

Then, in January 1945, she waspart of a death march throughHolland and Germany. “Manywere dying along the way,” she

said. The next month, theyreached the southern part of theBaltic Sea. There, said Godin, “Wedug two, long holes — one, a bath-room; one, a grave.”

“All through the Holocaust, Iprayed to the Almighty, ‘Please letme live through the day; maybeI’ll be free,’” she said. “Other times,I prayed to die. But the otherwomen said I had to survive andteach the world what hatred,prejudice and indifference can do.They taught me to have hope andunderstanding and to make it abetter world.”

Finally, on March 10, 1945, theRussian Army found Godin and theothers and liberated them. “Thewounds from my beatings healedlong ago, but the memories willalways remain,” she said. “Six mil-lion Jewish people — amongthem, 1.5 million children — werekilled.”

“I beg you, see the world withnew eyes,” she told the students.“You can make a difference. Don’tsee a race or religion — see a hu-man being. May God bless you andmay God bless America.”

It’s a time to celebrate the amazing ac-complishments of area teens. They’regraduating from high school, many after completing college level work in Ad-

vanced Placement and International Baccalau-reate programs, for more than a year, earningscholarships and entry to college.

Some are accomplished athletes, ending highschool careers as leaders on the field,demonstrating the benefits of practiceand discipline, understanding moreabout what it means to work in a teamthan many adults ever will.

Some have excelled in theater, learning stagemanagement, teamwork of different kind, com-plex tasks including lines, music, and more.High school students excelling in theater werecelebrated Sunday, June 13, at the KennedyCenter, with awards going to (among others)Madison, Marshall, Mount Vernon, Westfieldand Falls Church high schools in FairfaxCounty; Wakefield in Arlington; Walt Whitmanin Montgomery County.

Local high school students pursue all sortsof music with passion. They are involved inmany other arts, including photography, paint-ing, sculpture.

There are teens who devote themselves tocommunity service. Students in McLean havepackaged literally tens of thousands of mealsfor the hungry. Others volunteer at homelessshelters, work on environmental projects, helpin hospitals, animal shelters and nursinghomes. Some have raised money for relief ef-

forts in Haiti or Japan or the Gulf Coast.It’s not surprising that some of these teens

are celebrating in a variety of ways. You cansee photo slide shows of many area proms atwww.ConnectionNewspapers.com.

Now the word of caution.Many, many high school students consume

alcohol, usually to excess.Responding to the 2009 Fairfax

County Youth Survey, nearly half ofhigh school students reported drink-ing alcohol. Twenty-three percent of

high school seniors reported binge drinking inthe two weeks before the survey, and 39 per-cent of them had consumed alcohol in the pre-vious 30 days. Among 10th graders, 22 per-cent had consumed alcohol in the previous 30days.

Twenty-two percent of students said they hadused marijuana.

While those numbers are eye-opening, con-sider this: Twenty percent of students reportedthey had driven a car when they had beendrinking. See www.fairfaxcounty.gov/youthsurvey

It’s easy to forget, when high school studentspresent themselves with maturity, with disci-pline, with intelligence, that they are, in fact,high school students. Their brains are not fullydeveloped. They are not fully equipped to makewhat could turn out to be life and death deci-sions, especially in group settings. They stillneed guidance, protection, reminders, safe-guards and safety nets, mostly from their par-

ents.During the summer, nearly twice as many

teenagers die in traffic crashes than at othertimes, according to the Washington RegionalAlcohol Program www.wrap.org. There havebeen some devastating examples of this locally.

The most important thing for parents to dofor their teenagers is to talk to them. Even ifyour teen tries to deflect what you’re saying,the information is still working its way intohis or her brain.

Tell them you love them. Tell them it’s beentoo much work to get them to this point to risklosing them. Tell them not to text and drive.Tell them not to drink and drive. Tell them notto get in a car with anyone driving who hasbeen drinking. Tell them you’ll come pick themup anytime that they need a safe ride home.

WRAP offers tips, facts and strategies on theirwebsite.

During this year’s RoadCheck inChantilly, Motor Carrier SafetyOfficers from the FairfaxCounty Police Department in-

spected 61 trucks and placed 22 out of ser-vice for serious safety violations. Numeroustrucks were cited for violations and requiredon-site repairs before they were allowedback on the road.

The June 9 event, from 7 to 11 a.m., waspart of a national effort to target unsafecommercial vehicles. Officers set up an in-spection station at E. C. Lawrence Park inChantilly and in conjunction with severallocal and state law enforcement agencies,conducted inspections of commercial ve-hicles, climbing in, over, and under vehiclesto examine brake systems, vehicle frames,fuel system, vehicle light systems, steeringmechanisms, axles, suspension, tires, cargosecurement, appropriate driver and cargo

documentation among other items. Offic-ers receive special training from the Fed-eral Motor Carrier Safety Administration tobe certified to conduct such inspections.

The RoadCheck program started in 1988by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance,a not-for-profit organization of motor car-rier safety officers from the United States,Canada and Mexico. During early June ju-risdictions throughout North America set upinspection stations during a 72-hour periodconducting extensive safety inspections ofcommercial motor carriers and buses.

In addition to county Motor Carrier SafetyOfficers, officers from the Herndon PoliceDepartment, City of Fairfax Police Depart-ment, Fort Belvoir Police Department, theVirginia State Police, the Virginia Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles and the FairfaxCounty Fire and Rescue Department par-ticipated in inspections.

Officers noted that the truck's tires werebulging and were concerned that the vehicle was carrying an overweightload of gravel. Officers put scales under each of the six tires and thenadded the total weight together to calculate the cargo weight.

I really hope that the nesting/organizing/getting-things-in-order-type behavior I’ve been exhibitinglately is not my subconscious cashing a check thatmy conscious hasn’t even written. Certainly we’reall entitled, periodically, to spring-clean but whenyou’re post-the-end-date of your oncologist’s origi-nal prognosis (two years), everything takes onadded significance – and meaning. And simplybeing grateful for having lived beyond your doc-tor’s original expectations doesn’t always carry theday; there are nights to worry about, too. So yes –in my head, anyway, I wonder why I’m doingthings and I am extremely sensitive as well, to whatmy body is doing (or not doing), that is: whetherwhat I’m feeling/how I’m behaving is a symptom ofmy having stage IV lung cancer or predictable –and normal, middle age?

Hopefully, my arranging/simplifying my life-activity of late is nothing more than time on myhands and the motivation to use them to try andmake that life easier/less complicated. Then again,it might not. It might be the part of our brain thatwe don’t use – or even control, making decisionsfor me. I keep remembering a M*A*S*H episodewhen Radar was telling Capt. Pierce about hisUncle Ernest who sort of knew things in advance(like Radar), and how two days before he died,Uncle Ernest moved closer to the undertaker.“How thoughtful,” Hawkeye wise-cracked. I don’tbelieve I’m Uncle Ernest reborn (after all, he was afictional character); still, being affected by televi-sion programming as I have – and am, I can’t com-pletely ignore Radar’s story, humorous though itwas meant to be.

And another coincidence is worrying me,again. My wife, Dina, thinks our two cats, Biscuitand Cappuccino, are hanging around me more, asif they know something life-changing (heck, let’sbe honest; life-ending) is imminent. We’ve noticedthis animal-instinct behavior twice before: oncewhen I was chemo-sick and another time whenour rabbit, Chester, now deceased, was havinghealth problems – to which he eventually suc-cumbed. The cats hung around Chester’s cage. I’dlike to think, although I’m having a little difficultyconvincing myself, totally, that the cats are hangingaround me because they love me and because I“treat” them, feed them – mostly, and clean outtheir litter box – always. Dina is not so sure. Shethinks, if I were to characterize out of context, thatthe cat’s attentiveness is a version of the elephant’sgraveyard (if you know your Tarzan movies), theplace where elephants go to die when they knowthey’re close to death. I don’t want to believe anyof it, except I did grow up watching JohnnyWeismuller’s Tarzan movies and since I never hadany real pets growing up (other than parakeets andthose 50-cent turtles once sold at Woolworth’s),and Dina did, I’ve never observed animal behaviorother than on television. Dina was raised with lotsof pets, even had a horse, and never watchedTarzan movies so maybe she knows something –that I certainly don’t, about animal behavior thatshe actually witnessed which possibly could berelevant now or even accurate? Then again, per-haps the cats’ behavior of late is simply aboutproximity and familiarity and any similarity toinstinctual/sixth sense-type behavior is purelycoincidental?

Nevertheless, it’s impossible to ignore certainbehaviors, both mine and others who live withme/see me most often. Somebody knows some-thing. Perhaps those closest to me know the most.Presumably they would notice the slight, almostimperceptible signs, changes that most casualobservers, even non-casual observers like myselfmight miss (or who are loathe/afraid to admit). Andsince I have never been one to look in the mirror,especially when I was bald for all those monthsduring – and a little bit after – my heavy chemo-therapy, another set of eyes would likely see sometruths that are not self-evident.

As much as I try not to focus on myself and mycircumstances, however, invariably an unexpectedobservation or a twinge or a random thought willcause the inevitable trip back to cancer land. It’snot always a horrible trip, and so far, all my tripshave not resulted in falls, nor have they been oneway. But they have been my way. And in my opin-ion/experience, there’s only one way to view allthis cancer stuff: askance, or not. Ergo my continu-ing problem/dilemma.

Home Life Style

By John Byrd

The Connection

One of the advantages ofNorthern Virginia’s gener-ally mild climate is thathomeowners can use their

outdoor spaces with impunity—oftensocializing outside until the first frost.Clearly, this is one reason why localindoor/outdoor solutions are increas-ingly well-furnished, highly-equippedand often wired living rooms that justhappen to be surrounded by trees andfresh air.

Case in point: the recently completedscreen porch and decking system to aReston home situated on two acrespeacefully nestled into a wooded set-aside.

The spacious five-bedroom home theowners had purchased in 1997 alreadyincluded a 330-square-foot screen porchlinked to a great room on the southcorner of the rear elevationand a 780-square-foot deckon the opposite corner thatsegued from the sun room.The two outdoor platformswere not linked butthoughts of forming alarger whole were wellunderway when TroyFenley and team enteredthe scene.Fenley, now atSun Design Remodeling inBurke, was completingseveral interior rooms forthe Reston residence whenthe owner asked him tochat about some ideas forfinishing the outdoorspace.

“What came up veryearly was that [the home-owner] not only wanted to

Bringing the Indoors OutsideReston home expandskitchen, family roomand more out into theopen air.

The solution included double the size of the screen porch—which now includes stone-faced gas fireplace, rotatingoverhead fans and a flat screen TV. A perfect place to take inthe game—well into the fall.

The state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen of this Reston homefeatures a gas grill, a wok, warming drawers and a clean-up sink as well as stainless steel cabinetry embedded in astone-faced support. The glass canopy protects the cheffrom passing rain clouds.

Guest Room Shuffle Local designers suggest thrifty and generous waysto decorate for out of town guests.

By Meredith Billman-Mani

The Connection

Local interior designers Lauren Liessfrom Herndon and Jill Sorensenfrom McLean have turned many

rooms into guest rooms for their clients.They have spent years learning the tricksfor updating a guestroom quickly and inex-pensively while creating an inviting space.

Though their decorating talents are in highdemand and the jobs they do command topdollar, Liess and Sorensen have each devel-oped several tricks that can work on anybudget to create a guest bedroom with ap-peal.

If the homeowner is fortunate enough tohave a dedicated space for a guest bedroom,the prep work before a guest arrives is less.

“Guests are looking for a room that’s com-fortable and inviting but empty enough forthem to put their things. You don’t want itto be as cold as a hotel,” says Liess. Liesssaid that having a space for two suitcases,on a stand or on the floor, is key and thatclearing space in a closet for guests to hangtheir clothes is important. “These toucheswill make them feel welcome,” Liess said.

“A fantastic mattress, super soft sheets andgreat towels,” are the elements Sorensensees going into an elegant guest room andgenerous budget. “Comfort makes the dif-ference. I would add a seating area and adesk. And situate the room in a quiet partof the house,” Sorensen said.

enlarge and link the outdoor platforms,” Fenleysaid, “but he also envisioned stone planters, amasonry water feature, a safety zone for a wood-burning fire, a sizeable outdoor kitchen and thecapacity to entertain 50 to 75 people at a time. Iconcluded that handling the structural require-ments for that much weight would be a toppriority.”

As the conversation evolved,so, too, the project’s scope andheft. The screen porch was to beexpanded from 330 to 525square feet. There was to be astone-faced gas fireplace in onecorner, several rotating overheadfans, and a flat screen televisionin an opposite corner. A wroughtiron table would seat eight.Moreover, there would be intricate detailingthroughout, and it was all to be maintenance free.

“The owner told me that he was finished withwood,” Fenley said. The porch interiors, railingsand the deck itself needed to be constructed ofmaterials that wouldn’t rust or rot, or even requiremuch painting or cleaning.

Since the deck is 15 feet above grade, an earlystep was to calculate expected loads from 15 250-pound planters, an L-shaped outdoor kitchen madeof stone, large crowds of bouncing guests and(looking ahead) a water feature weighing severaltons. Taking all that into account, Fenley and teamdevised a structural solution that called for a steelframe undergirding attached to four vertical steelcolumns which are, in turn, mounted on concretecaissons.

A spiral stair now connects the upper deck to thelower deck, which includes a hot tub and access to

landscaped gardens. The owner, who recentlythrew a party for 50 that included a musicalcombo, attests that traffic flows smoothly in alldirections.

For all its fine detailing, though, the new com-plex is also a study in cutting edge, low-mainte-nance technologies. Exposed wooden deck flooringhas been replaced with cellular PVC planks com-pletely resistant to rotting. The new railings are

powder-coated aluminumcustom-fabricated to specifica-tion. The convincingly “oldschool” material used in thepristinely classic crown moldingand fine trimwork is not wood—but PVC.

The state-of-the-art outdoorkitchen—which occupies thedeck’s northeast corner—provides for every gourmet

consideration. Responding to the owner’s detaileduse requirements, the final design features an openwork-zone defined (vertically) by a four-post cedartrellis topped by glass-canopy and (horizontally)by an L-shaped solid granite food preparationsurface.

The kitchen includes a Viking gas grill, a wok,warming drawers and a clean-up sink as well asstainless steel cabinetry embedded in a stone-facedsupport.

The owner says the new setting is used most ofthe year. This year - with the corner hearth blazingcheerfully and the TV on - he anticipates fallafternoons taking in the game — maybe even theplayoffs.

Sun Design Remodeling frequently holds work-shops on home remodeling topics at their office inBurke, see www.SunDesignInc.com.

Both agree that thinking ahead to anticipate yourguests’ needs will make for an easier trip for every-one. Small details, like a cleared space on a nightstand, an alarm clock and soap and towels they knoware for their use make guests feel welcome and au-tonomous because they do not immediately have toask their hosts for things.

Champagne tastes can still be achieved on a lowbudget if the homeowner is willing to get creativewith what they have. Designers do this all the time.They will walk through a home and pick up decora-tive items or hanging art and bring it from one roominto another to give it a polished look.

If it’s been awhile since you had company, chancesare your guest room has morphed into a catch-allroom with boxes of out of season clothes, a desk froma deceased relative and anything else that neededstorage space. These rooms need a little work butcan be transformed for under $100.

“Paint your dressers a fun color and tie it in withfun bedding and pillows,” said Liess. “If you’ve justused it to store items, get everything out of thereand put it in another room for a little while.”

Sorensen agrees. “Clear clutter; most bad designstarts with clutter. Empty is better than a bunch ofmismatched stuff. Donate your unused items to a

shelter or to someone who needs it. Paint the mis-matched furniture one color to make them go to-gether.”

Colleen Donnelly of Herndon said the best thingshe puts on the dresser for her out of town guestsare copies of the local bus schedule going downtown.“Everyone wants to go to DC. I’ve gone a million timesby now, so I have copies of the bus schedule. It hastimes and where it stops so they can go into the cityand stay as long as they want without needing us todrive them.”

Sometimes space is at a premium and a familymember, usually a child, will give up their room whileguests are in town. Liess and Sorensen have somesuggestions to keep guests from feeling like they areintruding on someone else's space. “The first thing isto take down anything personal or gender specific,”Liess says. “Clear off the desk and make sure guestsknow it’s their space to use. If there’s cutesy bed-ding, take that off. And make sure it’s not Toyland inthe room,” said Liess.

What if unexpected company calls and you aren’tready. What do designers suggest you do then? “Makesure it’s neat and clean. Put in a bouquet of freshflowers and a bottle of water by the bed. They’ll feelwelcome and won’t worry about the rest,” saidSorensen.

Chantilly’s quest for its second-ever Virginia state boys’ la-crosse title fell short when theChargers lost its state finals

contest to Northern Region rival Langley,17-8, last Saturday night in front of a near-capacity crowd at Westfield High School.

It marked the third time over the last fouryears in which Chantilly has played in thestate championship game. The Chargers,who are coached by Kevin Broderick, wonthe state title in 2008. In 2009, they lost toLangley in the state finals. And on Satur-day, once again, it was Chantilly and Lan-gley meeting in the finals with the Saxonscoming away victorious — winning theirthird consecutive state championship un-der longtime head coach Earl Brewer.

Chantilly made a remarkable postseasonrun this spring, capturing both the ConcordeDistrict and Northern Region crowns andthen advancing to the state title tilt.

The Chargers, facing a Langley team thataccounted for their only regular season loss,fell behind early and were never able torecover in Saturday’s finals. Langley talliedthe game’s first five goals on way to thedominating win.

“They played a great game,” saidChantilly senior tri-captain DevonWesterman, of the Saxons.

Langley, indeed, played one of its bestgames of the season. From start to finish,the Saxons seemed to control a majority ofthe action.

“We’ve worked hard and come togetheras a team,” said Langley senior attack playerMike Adams, who scored nine goals to leadthe three-time champions. “This feels awe-some. I knew when we stepped up nobodycould beat us. And we definitely steppedup tonight. It wasn’t any one individual. Itwas a team win.”

Langley (19-3) started the postseason offwith three consecutive wins at the LibertyDistrict tournament, including a finals winover Madison High School on May 12. The

Saxons then won their first two games —victories over T.C. Williams and Oakton —at the 16-team Northern Region tourna-ment.

But a semifinals round upset loss toAnnandale, 12-8, on May 23 at Oakton HighSchool ended Langley’s region title hopesand put them in the uncomfortable thirdplace consolation game versus West Spring-field. At stake in the contest with the Spar-tans, a team experiencing a breakout win-ning season, was a birth at the eight-teamstate playoffs. The Saxons, putting away thedisappointment of the loss to Annandale,rose to the occasion and handled thescrappy West Springfield squad, 11-7, toadvance to states.

“That loss to Annandale definitely moti-vated us,” said Adams. “I think [in the longrun] it helped us.”

At Battlefield High (Haymarket) in a statequarterfinals round game, Langley pulledout a gritty, 6-5 OT victory on June 3. Then,in a rematch with Annandale five days laterat Westfield High, the Saxons avenged their

earlier regional playoff loss to the Atomswith an inspiring 10-7 triumph which putthe Saxons back into the state champion-ship game for a third straight year.

By that point, Langley, having tasted bothgood and bad moments during its five-weekpostseason march, was not about to be de-nied and handled the Chargers to garnertheir third consecutive state title.

“It’s surreal to win it again,” said Langleyjunior goalie Andrew Spivey.

THREE GOALS WITHIN the first fourminutes of play — scores from sophomoremidfielder Luke Salzer, junior midfielderHunter Bentz, and Adams — resulted in anearly Chantilly timeout.

The Chargers came back out and got offthree good scoring chances, including awrap-around, close range shot from seniorCraig Penman, whose attempt hit metal andbounced away. But Chantilly could notbreak through into the scoring column.

A short time later, Adams, off an assist

Chantilly fans were out in full force to support the Chargers duringSaturday’s state finals game versus Langley.

Chantilly High’s Jared Golden (10), with a Saxon player behind him,makes his move with the ball.

Chantilly Misses State CrownFrom Page 18

from senior attack Jack Sandusky, scored off the rightcorner from close range to make it 4-0 Langley. Lessthan a minute after that, Sandusky, on the move,sent a sizzling bouncer into the net from the rightwing. That made the score 5-0 with just over fiveminutes remaining in the first period.

“I think they came into the game [rolling],” saidWesterman, of the Saxons’ fast start. “We were wait-ing for things to happen, waiting for someone elseto make a play and that hurt us.”

Chantilly’s Daniel DeCenzo, a junior attack, scoredthe Chargers’ first goal — a quick turnaround linerover his right shoulder off the right side — to makeit 5-1 with 4 minutes, 23 seconds remaining in thefirst quarter.

Langley’s Salzer, shortly after a Langley timeout,scored from 18 yards out on a bouncer shot off theleft wing to make it 6-1 Saxons, the score going intothe second quarter.

“Coming out and leading 5-0, 6-1 and getting thatmuch momentum, that was a great feeling,” saidSpivey, the Langley goalie who made several stellarstops in the net at the close of the first quarter asChantilly was trying to gain some life. “I was confi-dent. I had a few saves early in the game and thathelped me.”

Langley’s dominance continued throughout thesecond quarter as the Saxons scored the first fivegoals of the 12-minute session to build an 11-1 lead.Adams scored three of his team’s goals during thatstretch.

Chantilly carried a little momentum into the halffollowing scores from Cole Fitzgerald and KyleO’Connor but the Chargers still trailed 11-3 at theintermission.

The Langley lead increased to 13-3 over the first

five minutes of the third quarter. Chantilly then cameup with its best scoring spell of the game, scoringthree straight goals — scores from Kyle Louis,Westerman, and Penman — to get the Chargerswithin 13-6 going into the final quarter.

The Saxons put the game away for good early onin the fourth on consecutive goals by Adams and onefrom senior midfielder Davis Wagner to make thescore 16-6. The final ended up being 17-8.

“We won the little balls, hustled to ground balls,and Spivey played great for us,” said Adams, pin-pointing a few keys in his team’s win.

Along with Adams’ huge scoring game, Langley alsogot two goals apiece from Bentz, Salzer, andSandusky.

Chantilly goals came from Cole Fitzgerald, KyleLouis, DeCenzo, O’Connor, Penman, Westerman andNico Alcalde.

THE CHARGERS (21-2) had an outstanding sea-son. They lost just one time — to Langley, 11-10 —during a spring break game in the regular seasonand captured the Concorde District tournamentcrown with an 8-5 finals win over Robinson on May12. At regionals, the Chargers reached the finals withwins over Mount Vernon, Woodson, and West Spring-field. Then, in the region title game, Chantilly earneda nail-biter 12-11 win over Annandale.

At states, Chantilly won games over Patrick Henryand Albemarle High (Charlottesville) to reach thechampionship encounter with Langley.

“People didn’t believe in us and didn’t believe we’dbe here [in the state finals],” said Westerman, of aChantilly squad which had lost a number of solidplayers to graduation last spring. “But we won ourdistrict and the region. Everybody loved everybodyout there. We were all brothers out there.”
