“Commissioner de la Fe has been involvedwith every major task force and committeedealing with planning and land use,” saidHudgins. “His strength has been an abilityto hear all sides of an issue and come to adecision that best serves the community andFairfax County.
“Most significantly, he worked with thePlanning Commission on the approvals tobring rail to the Dulles Corridor that haschanged the culture from a rural/suburbanarea to a vibrant urban district,” she said.

A high-quality, secure office complex on 77.31 acres of propertyat the southeast quadrant ofSully Road and Air and Space
Museum Parkway will generate up to $8million in tax revenue for the county, saidFrank McDermott, attorney for the devel-oper Dulles Discovery South 5C.
“There is an awful lot of money there tobenefit the county infrastructure and it is atremendous job source,” McDermott said.
About 2.4 million square feet of officespace will be available to a single [federal]government tenant, said McDermott.
With a unanimous vote, the Board of Su-pervisors approved the applicant’s requestto rezone the 77.31 acres from the PDC andI-5 districts to the PDC district to permitthe modifications to an office building com-plex and associated parking.
The Planning Commission gave its ap-proval on Nov. 30.
More than 35 percent of the property willremain open space, according to planningand zoning documents.
“This is a wonderful facility, it looks great,and has high standards,” said Sully DistrictSupervisor Kathy Smith, at the Board ofSupervisors’ public hearing on Dec. 5.
“I would simply mention that this is a very,very high-end office complex that is totallysecure for a particular ... government ten-ant,” McDermott said.
One of the modifications approved onDec. 5 permits an increase in fence heightto nine feet around the perimeter of the
property. The applicant will assist in the tim-ing of traffic signals around the office park,and will plant trees on all the boundariesto soften the view of the office park.
Two security entrances will be located onSully Road and Centreville Road.
The rezoning office park in the Sully His-

Believing he was the one whostruck and killed an elderlywoman with his car, FairfaxCounty police in April charged
Kenan Ozcan, 32, of Fairfax, with felony hit-and-run. Now, however, he’s been indictedfor murder in connection with her death andis slated to stand trial in March.
The tragedy occurred April 14, shortlybefore 10:15 a.m., near the intersection ofRoute 50 (Lee Jackson Memorial Highway)and Rugby Road in Fairfax. The victim,Maria Amaya de Ascencio, 75, also ofFairfax, was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to police, investigation deter-mined that she was crossing Rugby Roadon foot, traveling eastbound, when she wasstruck by a car reportedly driven by Ozcan.They also say the car hit her twice.
“A 2016 Dodge Dart traveling southboundon Rugby Road struck [Ascencio], thenturned around and struck the victim a sec-ond time, before leaving the scene,” saidpolice after the incident. “Crash Reconstruc-tion and Homicide detectives responded toinvestigate. They are looking into the pos-sibility the victim was intentionally run over.
It does not appear the victim and suspectwere known to each other.”
Reporter David Culver of NBC-TV, chan-nel 4, interviewed some of the victim’s fam-ily members following the tragedy. Accord-ing to them, he said, Ascencio had gone fora walk that morning. But when she didn’treturn, her loved ones calledher cellphone, trying to reachher, and the police answeredit. Culver said the news of herdeath devastated them.
In addition, in an unrelatedincident a few hours after thisone, around 12:45 p.m., offic-ers were called to the 3900block of Fair Ridge Drive in FairOaks. At that time, a 43-year-old woman reported that aman was in the shopping cen-ter there, acting strangely.
“She took a picture of him,” said police.“He became agitated, then [allegedly] as-saulted her and went into one of the busi-nesses. Officers found him inside and tookhim into custody.” Police later identified thisman as Ozcan.
“As they were investigating [this incident],say police, “One officer noticed front-end
damage on [Ozcan’s] car in the parking lot.Further investigation determined he was alsoinvolved in [that] morning’s fatal crash.”
Police then took Ozcan into custody, trans-ported him to the Adult Detention Centerand charged him with both felony hit-and-run and robbery. He was held without bond.
He appeared in General Dis-trict Court for his preliminaryhearing on Oct. 16 beforeJudge Lisa Mayne. At that time,the robbery charge againstOzcan was dropped, and thehit-and-run offense was certi-fied to the grand jury for pos-sible indictment.
Then on Nov. 20, the grandjury indicted him on a chargeof murder. He’s scheduled fora jury trial, March 27, 2018,in Circuit Court. Until then,
Ozcan continues to be held in jail withoutbond.
Meanwhile, anyone with informationabout the fatality is asked to contact theFairfax County Police Department at 703-691-2131, Crimes Solvers viawww.fairfaxcrimesolvers.org or text TIP187plus the information to CRIMES (274637).

The pages of the Connection News-papers (including the AlexandriaGazette Packet, the Mount VernonGazette, the Potomac Almanac and
the Centre View) have been full of holiday spiritbeginning before Thanksgiving. Group and in-dividual efforts to help the needy, holiday pa-rades, Santa arriving by boat, Santa arrivingby horse-drawn carriage, Santa arriving at theMalls, tree lightings, Menorah lightings, sto-ries of giving, secular celebrations, religiouscelebrations. Shopping locally. Giving locally.
Christmas is about the birthof Jesus Christ. Whether youbelieve the Christmas story lit-erally or in spirit, you know it
is the story of joy, hope and love, with the prom-ise of redemption.
It is also about embracing the teachings ofJesus: to love thy neighbor as thyself; to helpthe needy; to feed the hungry and clothe thepoor; to care for those who are sick; to inviteand welcome strangers; to treat others as youwould have them treat you.Matthew 7:12:
“So in everything, do to others what youwould have them do to you, for this sums upthe Law and the Prophets.”Matthew 25:35-40:
“For I was hungry and you gave me some-thing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave mesomething to drink, I was a stranger and youinvited me in, I needed clothes and you clothedme, I was sick and you looked after me, I wasin prison and you came to visit me.’
“Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord,when did we see you hungry and feed you, orthirsty and give you something to drink? Whendid we see you a stranger and invite you in, orneeding clothes and clothe you? When did wesee you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
“‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one
of the least of these brothers and sisters ofmine, you did for me.’”
SO LET US SHARE the verse relating thebirth of Jesus from the Bible, Luke 2: 4-19:
“And Joseph also went up from Galilee, outof the city ofNazareth, intoJudaea, unto the cityof David, which iscalled Bethlehem;(because he was ofthe house and lin-eage of David:) Tobe taxed with Maryhis espoused wife,being great with child. And so it was, that,while they were there, the days were accom-plished that she should be delivered. And shebrought forth her firstborn son, and wrappedhim in swaddling clothes, and laid him in amanger; because there was no room for themin the inn.
“And there were in the same country, shep-herds abiding in the field, keeping watch overtheir flock by night. And, lo, the angel of theLord came upon them, and the glory of the

Lord shone round about them: and they weresore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fearnot: for, behold, I bring you good tidings ofgreat joy, which shall be to all people.
“For unto you is born this day in the city ofDavid a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Andthis shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find thebabe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in amanger.
“And suddenly there was with the angel amultitude of the heavenly host praising God,and saying, Glory to God in the highest, andon earth peace, good will toward men.
“And it came topass, as the angelswere gone awayfrom them intoheaven, the shep-herds said one toanother, Let us nowgo even untoBethlehem, and seethis thing which is

When artist Kathryn Coneway is feelingoverwhelmed by the stress of the holidayseason, she heads outside to find peace
and calm in nature.“I get easily overwhelmed by the crowded parking
lots and busy stores,” she said. “When I’m feelingoverwhelmed, I’ll go to Huntley Meadows Park andwalk around. The beauty of nature restores me.You’re with other people when you’re there, butthere’s still solitude.”
From those who are dashing to finish holiday shop-ping and those who are financially strapped to thosegrieving a loss or dreading dealing with strained fa-milial relationships, the stretch of time betweenThanksgiving and Christmas is often hectic and emo-tionally charged. Recharging and infusing the holi-days with joy and peace might mean redefining theholiday season.
“Research shows in-creased happiness afterthinking of three goodthings that happened toyou today and whatcaused them,” saidJerome Short, Ph.D., as-sociate professor of psy-chology at George MasonUniversity. “Also, peoplereport improved moodfrom doing five kind actsin a day, expressing grati-tude, pursuing important goals, and playing sports.”
An evening of music and quiet creativity is onemethod that Elizabeth Rees, associate rector at SaintAidan’s Episcopal Church in Alexandria uses to re-charge during the holiday season. The event called“Healing Arts” is held at the Center for Spiritual Deep-ening at St. Aidan’s. “Sometimes for me, meditativeart helps me to get into a different space,” she said.“And with instrumental cello and guitar music in thebackground, it [is] beautiful.”
Visual imagery is another technique Rees employs.“I went to a… prayer-yoga-dance gathering thisweek, and [the instructor] had us physically pretendto pick up things that we want to let go of or that are
weighing us down to place on an imaginary fire,”she said. “I loved the imagery: my burdens and dis-tractions going up in smoke along with my prayersrising to God to make space in me for somethingnew.”
Coneway uses the season’s natural surrounding toinspire her art, which is another way in which shefinds joy and relaxation. “The gift of this time of dayis the display of light and colors of early morningand evening,” she said. “I encourage families togather around the table and [create] art together.Whether its parents addressing Christmas cards whilechildren are drawing or making a collage out of wrap-ping paper or tissue paper, I encourage families towork on something together.”
Serving others and expressing gratitude are re-search-driven techniques for finding happiness saysDr. Lois T. Stover, Ed.D., dean, School of Educationand Human Services at Marymount University.
“Make holiday cards and send them out. It’s fun todrop a word of kindness anonymously to someonein the neighborhood and then tell that person to passalong the idea, leaving words of kindness or grati-tude themselves for someone else,” she said. “Createan ‘I am thankful for ...’ wall and cover it with stickynotes that complete the sentence as new thoughts
come to mind each timeyou pass by.”
There’s plenty of holi-day joy that comes with-out a price tag, suggestsStover. “Drive throughvarious neighborhoodsjust after dark and ex-claim ‘Oooh – aah’ overhomes or other build-ings that have particu-larly fun or beautiful dis-plays of lights,” said Sto-
ver. “Listen to holiday music in a variety of genresand make play lists of favorites. Sing along loudly.It’s hard to feel down while belting out anything from‘Frosty the Snowman’ to ‘Joy to the World.’”
For those looking to maintain the religious mean-ing of the season, Rees suggests daily devotions sentelectronically. “I’ve found some wonderful dailyprayers that arrive each day by email. Just a minuteor two of focus on what is deep and joyful and holyhelp center me for the day,” she said. “For me,Ignatian prayer has been speaking to me lately, imag-ining myself into the stories of scripture. Momentsof quiet and rest and being able to be present in themoment help me to get through the frenzy.”
Finding Peace and JoyRelieving stress andfinding meaning inthe holiday season.
“Moments of quiet and restand being able to be present inthe moment help me to getthrough the frenzy.”

Scott and Cyndi Hoffman, owners ofOno Brewing Company, recentlypresented a $1982.54 check toWestern Fairfax Christian Ministries.
Ono Brewing Company, a new brewery inChantilly, helps support great deeds in thecommunity by donating all tips collected eachmonth to a different local charity.
The Chantilly brewery tasting room fea-tures a self-serve beer wall with eight beerson tap, all brewed on the premises. Sincecustomers are serving themselves, tippingis optional at Ono and not expected. TheHoffmans have chosen to pay their employ-ees a competitive wage so they don’t needto rely on tips. If customers are compelledto tip for excellent service, they are invitedto add a tip to support a different local char-ity each month.
The new brewery has already donated atotal of $7,482.62 to local charities in theirfirst three months of business.
During its first month of business, Sep-tember 2017, Ono Brewing Company col-
lected $3142.36 in gratuities, which wasdonated to the CIA Officer’s Memorial Foun-dation, an organization that supports thefamilies of CIA officers who have died inactive service of the nation. In October, OnoBrewing Company donated $2360.72 to theStep Sisters, a non-profit organizationwhose mission is to improve the quality oflife for those impacted by breast cancer byfunding needed support services, such ashouse cleaning, transportation, and childcare to assist the families of women withbreast cancer in the Northern Virginia area.
Ono Brewing Company has chosen to sup-port Every Citizen Has Opportunities, Inc.(ECHO) in December. ECHO offers voca-tional training, community integration, andcomprehensive, individualized disabilityemployment for adults with disabilities inLoudoun and Fairfax counties.

This year, popular items on children’s holidaywish lists are likely video games, mobiledevices, and trendy articles of clothing.
There’s a more enriching way to approach holidaygift giving for youths, though.
Keeping in the holiday spirit doesn’t mean men-tally checking out, according to Dr. Lisa Turissini,chair of Marymount University’s Education Depart-ment. Stimulate their intellect and curiosity with giftgiving this year, and ultimately provide children withmuch more than the surges of adrenaline they’ll re-ceive from unwrapping something shiny or with abattery.
Turissini, who has been an educator for more than30 years, leans toward gifts that result in experiences.When holiday season rolls around, she suggested anarray of gifts that ultimately lead to more knowl-edge, or more memories
“Experiential gifts stay in our memories forever,and an interesting trip can be one of the best familygifts,” she said. “Music lessons, for instance: As kidslearn new skills, such as playing a musical instru-ment, they gain confidence. Also, the process ofstudying, practicing, and performing teaches kidshow to set and achieve goals. Kids taking these kindsof classes or lessons are able to explore their creativ-ity.”
These types of gifts don’t have to be expensive ei-ther.
“Board or card games are great because they willlead to a coming together for a family game night,which is old-fashioned fun,” she said. “Developingstrategies through critical thinking and learning howto be a good winner are some of the benefits. Ourfamily in particular enjoys Risk, Monopoly and Uno.”
She added that downloading a collection of goodPodcasts makes a great gift, too.
Local early education experts agree that playing isan important part of childhood, and gift-giving sea-son is a great opportunity to provide them with thetools for the best kind of play.
“Children learn through play,” Turissini said. “Whenplaying with educational toys and games, childrencan develop perception, intuition, and reasoning asthey engage in creative activities. Educational toyscan help children connect to their thought processesand further develop their capabilities to think freely.Common toys that help boost cognitive skills includepuzzles and number games. By providing childrenwith well-devised play experiences, inside and out-side, children develop appropriate social interactionskills, language skills and emotional development.
While technology has changed so much about thisgeneration of elementary school aged children, teach-ers continue to see the benefit of traditional learn-ing toys. Technology isn’t all bad, but, kids need time
away from screens to inter-act with the real world.
“I’ve taught little peoplefor eight years and highered for almost six years,”said Dr. Carley Fisher-Malt-ese, an Early ChildhoodEducation assistant profes-sor for George MasonUniversity’s College of Edu-cation and Human Develop-ment (CEHD). “SomeSTEM-related toys that I’d
consider purchasing for my own kids would be tele-scopes, microscopes, and logic and/or puzzle books.”
Despite the lure of mobile devices, youngsters to-day still seem to find fun in the simple stuff.
“I love books of science experiments, particularlykitchen science, where you can find pretty much ev-erything you need in your kitchen. My kids lovemaking slime — they even have kits you can buy tomake it — and making volcanoes explode with a littlebaking soda and vinegar. I also like building toys forkids, such as marble mazes and magna tiles. Thereare some good robot-building kits and drones thatconnect to your phone or tablet that you can buy forolder kids.”
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX – literally. Dr. DebbieStone, GMU CEHD assistant professor of Child, Fam-ily and Community Engagement, said some of thebest gifts are impossible to wrap up or put in a giftbag.
“I am a big advocate for open-ended toys such asbuilding materials, art supplies, a dollhouse, kitchen,etcetera,” Stone said. “Anything that sparks open-ended play and problem solving gets my vote.”
Children need to keep moving over holiday break,too. A gift as simple as a jump rope could help withthis. “It is important for children to engage in physi-cal activities during holiday break,” Turissini said.“Bike riding and nature walks are terrific ways forchildren to get the physical exercise that they need.In colder weather building a snowman or going sled-ding can be fun for all. By allowing children to par-ticipate in a variety of activities you will ensure con-tinued not only healthy emotional and physical de-velopment, but also kids who are recharged andready to get back to school.”
With existing excitement in the air, it’s a perfecttime to spark a love of discovery within children.
“Picture a future where, rather than making a tripto the local store for a toy, your child could createtoys for him or herself,” Turissini said. “It sounds likesomething out of a futuristic movie, but conceivably,kids can make their own creations using a 3D printer,which today is extremely expensive. But, as withcomputers and flat-screen TVs, the price of 3D print-ers will eventually go down as the technology be-comes more widely available. In a couple of years,your child and her friends could be printing theirown dollhouse furniture, trains, and cars.”

Grinches, she said, “Valuables can be re-placed; you cannot. If someone demandsyour purse or car keys, just give it tothem.”
Ruck said people should be alert andnot provide an appealing opportunity tobe ripped off. Shoppers are easier targetsfor criminals if, for example, they’re look-ing at their cell phones and not payingattention to their surroundings.
“Be alert, because the criminals arewatching the crowd for potential victims,”she said. “So be confident, walk with apurpose, look alert and trust your in-stincts. There’s safety in numbers, so stayin pairs or insert yourself in a crowd walk-ing outside. And look out for poor light-ing and secluded areas.”
Ruck also warned people not to havetheir hands too full and to keep their keysin their hands while walking to their cars.“Hold your purse under your arm and beaware of people coming up to you,” shesaid. “They could distract you for anotherpurpose, so keep your guard up.”
She further advised residents to keepany valuables in their car out of sight.These include packages, electronics andpower cords. And she told them to be sureand report any suspicious activity.
When shopping, said Ruck, “Don’t wearexpensive jewelry, only carry the cash orcredit cards you need and always carryyour cell phone. Men should carry theirwallets in their front pocket or inside theirjacket pocket, and everyone should be-ware of strangers and con artists.”
She said people should program theircell phones with their emergency contactsand the police, non-emergency number,703-691-2131, as well as the emergency911 number. In addition, Ruck said resi-dents should choose ATMs that are well-lit, used often and that they feel comfort-able using.
People who don’t like the look or feelof an ATM should come back at anothertime or go to another location. Theyshould also pay attention to their sur-roundings and be wary of anyone tryingto help them with their transaction. Or,better yet, said Ruck, “Get cash back atgrocery stores, instead of from ATMs.”
She also urged people to check outcharities before donating to be surethey’re legitimate and actually do whatthey claim to do. “Ask questions about thecharity,” she said. “And find out how muchof the contributions goes directly to thecharity.”
Ruck further encouraged potential do-nors to contact the Wise Giving Alliance,operated by the Better Business Bureau,at www.give.org. “It vets charitable orga-nizations, and you can also find out thepercentage of donated amounts actuallygoing to charity,” she said. “And never usea debit card online, and look for the lockicon for safe and secure sites.”

Talk about a superfluous statement.I was asleep in bed and awoke to find one of
our five cats, Biscuit, the oldest at 11+, lyingsphinx-like on the front right of our bed. Thoughit was dark, I could see in his yellow eyes that hewas awake.
Wanting to feel a cat against my body, I said,“Biscuit, come here. Come lie against my chest.”No response so I repeated the request. This timewith a bit more conviction: “Biscuit, come here. Iwant to feel you next to me.” Again, noresponse. In fact, no reaction whatsoever. So Imuttered, without thinking even: “OKAY, Biscuit,suit yourself.”
And then I laughed. Of course he’s going tosuit himself. That’s what cats do. I should begrateful he didn’t jump off the bed. After all, hewas minding his own business.
And that business is the entire philosophy ofthe feline species captured in two words. If anyof you has ever owned a cat and been sensitiveto and appreciative of their differences with thecanine population, cats don’t really come whenyou call them. Nor do they respond to a millionother things you ask of them. If you understandand embrace that behavior, you’ll likely begin tosee this non-responsiveness as part of theircharm.
However, when they do come when you callthem, or when they climb uninvited onto yourchest while lying in bed or snuggle with you onthe couch; oh, how special you feel. And if youdon’t feel put upon or tolerated and can insteadsavor the uniqueness of their knead (and do eve-rything you can to encourage its repetition), thenyou can indeed find pleasure and purpose in thatmoment, rare though it may be – or maybe not.
Accepting the perameters of the relationshipwith your cat, and managing your expectations,will go a long way toward understanding whatyour cat is able to give you. And what cats cangive you is companionship and love – on theirterms of course. The mere fact that Biscuit islying on the bed should be enough to make mehappy. Expecting that he would rise due to mybeck and call, at night, especially while he’s cat-napping is unreasonable on my part. Biscuit isnot being difficult in the least. He is simplyadhering to a non-responsive-type behavior thatgenerations of cats – and generations of cat own-ers, should be accustomed to, not questioned oreven curious about.
As an extraordinarily experienced cat owner(almost 40 years), I should have known better.Yet I couldn’t resist the temptation/control theurge to give Biscuit (a cat) the chance to changethe course of presumptive cat history and cometo me when I asked. The problem is, once in ablue moon – or was that a red moon (it certainlyappeared to be above the fold on the front pageof The Washington Post the other day), cats willbreak with historical convention andrespond/react/reply in kind with both word anddeed. They’ll come, they’ll snuggle, they’ll talk,they’ll nuzzle, they might even lick. In fact,they’ll do everything they can to endear them-selves to you.
But it doesn’t happen often or rather it does-n’t happen consistently. Yet it remains the goal ofevery committed (or rather should be) cat ownerto make every attempt to induce their cats tosuccumb to their cat-seducing charms. Like rightnow, Twinkle, our white, five-and-half-years-olddomestic medium hair, is doing everything shecan to get my attention. She’s walking back andforth across my note pad (as I’m trying to write;I’m busy), she’s rubbing her head against my faceand using the top of my pen as some sort of headscratcher, she’s lying on her left side with asmany as four paws outstretched across my leftarm as I use it to block her advance and she’stalking non-stop.
She’s being such a pain, but you have to lovethem. If you can’t appreciate their untimelyintrusions and instead expect some kind of pre-dictable dog-like obedience, you need morethan “The Cat Whisperer,” you need “The CatScreamer,” because it’s NOT HAPPENING.
