Folk Club CelebratesSilver Jubilee to be celebrated on May 25.

The Folk Club of Reston-Herndonwill celebrate its 25th JubileeAnniversary on its birthday,

Tuesday, May 25, in the Back Room ofthe Tortilla Factory Mexican Restaurant,648 Elden St., Herndon, its home since1987. Doors open at 6 p.m. for camara-derie, fellowship and buffet dining. Mu-sical entertainment begins at 7:15 p.m.

Well into the mid-1980s, people werestill gathering to listen to and celebrate“folk” music, the genre that originatedin traditional 19th century, but whichtook on a whole new meaning in the1950s and early 1960s with the adventof folk rock, Dylan worship and othermusical life-forms.

The tradition continues to this day atThe Folk Club of Reston-Herndon’s lis-tening room, where each Tuesday for thelast quarter century, folks of all walks of

life have gathered to embrace music,story and the occasional poet. The clubhas fostered friendships and marriages,witnessed births and deaths, and enjoyedglimpses of each others lives andsongwriting skills that have endured thetest of time and generations of song. InMay 1985, the small group that formedThe Folk Club modeled it after the En-glish pub tradition, where musicians andtheir listening audience assembled to en-joy a few hours of song and suds. TheFolk Club’s previous local venues haveincluded The Acorn, Red Caboose andJonathon’s Keep Community Center.

Current President and Reston resident,Ben Hamblin, and his wife Gail havebeen coming to The Folk Club for justover a decade.

Center for Innovative Technologyspokesman Hap Connors said hisemployer only wanted to protectaccess to its trademark, upside-

down, pyramid-shaped building on theFairfax and Loudoun County border. “Wejust wanted to make sure that if we neededthe road, we would have proper access toour building,” he said.

Colleen Gillis Snow, representing theCIT’s neighbor, Dulles World Center, saidthe previous owner of her client’s propertyhad given Innovation Avenue to the Centerfor Innovative Technology (CIT) free ofcharge, and in 2000, a deed of easementhad been recorded, requiring the CIT todedicate the road to either the state orLoudoun County.

Connors said legal discussion over thedeed to the road was ongoing, but he saidhe expected a resolution in the next twoweeks. “CIT is committed to deeding theroad to the proper authorities,” he said.

THE WRANGLING over Innovation Av-enue, which snakes from the CIT buildingthrough the Dulles World Center propertyto Route 28, has become a sticking point inplanning for developments being proposedfor the area north of the future Route 28Metro station, as it has stymied plans for abridge over the Dulles Toll Road next to thestation. The Center for Innovative Technol-ogy, a state-chartered nonprofit organiza-tion, does not want the bridge to touchdown on its property,and Dulles WorldCenter has said itwon’t allow thebridge to land on itsproperty until theCIT relinquishes In-novation Avenue.

“The earlier pro-posed plan with a re-aligned Innovation Avenue allowed DWC[Dulles World Center] to consider accom-modating a bridge across the Dulles TollRoad as part of a grid-like network ofstreets, an option that is no longer possiblewith Innovation Avenue remaining inplace,” Gillis Snow said. Her client hopedto realign the road so it didn’t wind through

the property, she said.Last Thursday, May 13, the Fairfax County

Planning Commission recommended ap-proval for development plans on the Fairfaxside of the county line without making anyrecommendation on the bridge placement.The Comprehensive Plan amendment thatthe commission forwarded to the Board ofSupervisors simply notes that the bridgealignment is being studied.

A crossing of the toll road in that vicinityhas been on the Fairfax County plan formany years, although in a location that allparties now agree is unfeasible. Its place-ment on the plan remains unchanged fornow. “I think all the drafts of this plan textwanted to preserve the ability to put a

bridge there,” saidcounty plannerClara QuinteroJohnson.

She said therehad been little sub-stantive change inthe plan amend-ment since it wasthe subject of a

public hearing in March. The language stillrecommends 1,200 residential units and 1.9million square feet of nonresidential devel-opment on almost 50 acres in FairfaxCounty, with the highest densities on theCIT property, which is closest to the futureMetro station.

Construction would dial down from high-

density, mixed-use development to lower-density residential development as it movedaway from the station.

ONLY A FEW ACRES of land in FairfaxCounty are part of the proposed DullesWorld Center project, which would com-prise about 75 acres, mostly in Loudoun.

As he moved to recommend approval ofthe plan, Dranesville Planning Commis-sioner Jay Donahue said it represented anopportunity to create a compact, pedestrian-and transit-oriented development in an areanear Dulles Airport, bringing jobs and resi-dential and retail space to the county whileminimizing traffic impacts. He said specialattention would need to be paid to provid-ing transportation and public safety infra-structure, as well as adequate recreationalfacilities.

The commission also recommended ap-proval of a motion that urged continuedcooperation between Fairfax and Loudouncounties and the town of Herndon to coor-dinate transportation improvements, reducevehicle trips, establish a regional trails plan-ning effort to create pedestrian connectionsto the rail station, develop a coordinatedapproach to environmental preservationand realign Innovation Avenue in Loudounin order to foster a grid of streets in theDulles World Center development.

The Board of Supervisors has scheduleda public hearing on the plan amendmentfor May 25.

Opinion

Last year at this time, I was still in themidst of chemotherapy for breastcancer, reacting to my first year participating as a “survivor” in the

Komen Race for the Cure. This year, sportingmy own hair again and cancer-free, I find manymore reasons to walk the walk.

First, the money raised by Komen has a ro-bust local impact, outreach to underservedwomen in our region who need help withawareness, screening, treatment and more.Recently announced grant recipientsthat help poor women with screeningand treatment including ArlingtonFree Clinic, Alexandria NeighborhoodHealth Services. Some Fairfax County recipi-ents serve immigrant communities like theKorean Community Service Center, the Ethio-pian Community Development Council, theSomali Family Care Network. Others, like theBreast Cancer Network of Strength in Herndon,provide support for women in the aftermathof diagnosis and treatment. The American As-sociation on Health and Disability in Rockvillereaches women with disabilities who often fallthrough the cracks of early detection.

Second, in the last year, the U.S. PreventiveServices Task Force announced controversialand confusing new guidelines for screening forbreast cancer that could give women one morereason to put off self-exams, mammograms andvisits to the doctor. At 40, you still need to talk

to your doctor about when to begin mammo-gram screening and how often, even if youhave no history of breast cancer in your fam-ily. Be sure you’re talking to a health care pro-fessional with expertise in breast health. And

if you find a lump or anything suspi-cious in your own breast, don’t delayvisiting the doctor.

It takes more than money to ensurethat women are in the best possible positionto discover any breast cancer early on — ittakes the kind of awareness that comes with50,000 people coming together to walk on aSaturday morning, it takes education, it takes

For the Cure Awareness, money raised by Komen forthe Cure, benefit many in our region.

energy, time and effort.I encourage you to join the Race for the Cure;

there is still time to register and take part inthe 5K itself. There are many ways to partici-pate, including walking, running, and even“Sleeping in for the Cure” (you still get a T-shirt).

But most of all, I urge the women readingthis to be sure that they are taking care of them-selves, for everyone reading this to advocatefor the women in their lives.

Early detection — along with a healthylifestyle — is the key.

Breast cancer is detected early by self-exams,by doctor exams and by mammograms. Be sureyou show up for all of the above on your ownbehalf.

What is it like to be a First Childand live in the White House? HerndonElementary School students found outas they explored White House familylife. Acting as “real” first children, thestudents role-played different histori-cal characters as they reenact WhiteHouse events such as birthday partiesand holiday celebrations, as well asmet some famous first pets. This pro-gram introduced the children toWhite House families throughout his-tory and presented themes such asfamily traditions, celebrations androles. At the conclusion of the pro-gram, the classes made their own“White House Family Album” to in-clude historical photos and new im-ages they created in class during theirreenactment.

The Connection

Herndon High’s boys’ soccer team received a tough break last week whenstandout sophomore center midfielderPatrick McLaughlin was lost for the re-

mainder of the season with a dislocated right kneeinjury.

The timing of the injury is particularly poor forthe Hornets, who were scheduled to begin postseasonplay this week with a first round Concorde Districtmatch versus Chantilly on Tuesday night, May 18(after press time). The game was originally sched-uled for a day earlier on Monday, but rainy weatherforced the postponement.

McLauglin was injured early in the second half ofHerndon’s 3-2 district home win over Chantilly onWednesday, May 12, when he made a sliding tackleinto the goal tender. McLauglin was given a red cardon the play — a call Herndon head coach Steve Leesaid could have gone either way.

A day after the injury loss to McLauglin, who evenas a sophomore is regarded as one of the top playersin the Concorde, Herndon concluded its regular sea-son schedule with a 2-0 districthome loss to Oakton on May 13.

“We lost arguably our most ef-fective player,” said Lee, complet-ing his first season as the Herndonhead coach. “Patrick is up there asone of the highest ranked players in the district. Theteam is disappointed. His [absence] certainly hurtus in the Oakton game. But those are the breaks.”

In what has been a successful season for Herndon(7-3-3), the late-season loss of the talentedMcLaughlin is certainly a blow to the team’s

postseason hopes. The Hornets needed a win over Chantillyon Tuesday to advance to the district semifinals on Wednes-day, May 19 versus No. 2-seed Centreville. A victory overChantilly would also give Herndon an automatic seedingat next week’s 16-team Northern Region playoffs.

Herndon entered the district playoffs as the No. 3 seed,while Chantilly was the No. 6 seed. The district’s top twofinishers in the regular season — No. 1 Robinson and No.2 Centreville — received first round district playoff byes.

MCLAUGHLIN, who suffered no ligament damage, isexpected to be on the mend for six to eight weeks, accord-ing to Lee. The injury is certainly not a threat to the youngplayers’ future in the sport, which includes two more yearsat Herndon.

McLaughlin scored five goals with six assists this sea-son. But his presence on the soccer field goes well beyondstatistics. Even as a 10th grader, McLauglin is a team leaderand catalyst.

“Patrick’s a player who, when things are not going well,he rallies players around him,” said Lee.

By his demeanor and his skills, McLaughlin is a game-changer.

“He’s a strong, powerful player and he’s sound defen-sively,” said Lee. “He stops [opposing offensive] attacksfrom even being built. [On offense] he’s a tough goal scorer.He had the second most assists on our team. He’s a pow-erful player in the air. Certainly everybody we’ve playedin the district knows Patrick is a threat.”

Lee said his team has worked on strategies to helpHerndon be as successful as it can be in the playoffs with-out McLaughlin. “We’ve had to change a number of things,”

said Lee.McLauglin was one of three

Herndon players who were re-cently named by the coaches to theAll-Concorde District First Team.The other two Hornets named to

the First Team were goalie Alex Stopa and defender EmileDoak, both seniors. Herndon players named Second TeamAll-District were senior Wynton Rose, sophomoreEmmanuel Korvah, freshman Roman Gall, junior RaleighMcKenzie and junior Sam Eaddy. Peter Sullivan, a junior,made Honorable Mention.

The biggestthings arealways the

easiest to dobecause there isno competition.

-William Van Horne

I’m not a “bucket list” kind of guy. Norhave I been a stop and smell the roses (bo-uquet) kind of guy. But until this past year, Ihad never been a guy diagnosed with cancer,the kind of cancer which my oncologist hassaid he “can’t cure,” although one which he“can treat.” In his opinion, surgery was notan option. With inoperable-type news likethat, one would think I’d be smelling everyflower in town and looking for a biggerbucket as well to fill before I kick it. But Ihaven’t.

Aside from neither pursuit being charac-teristic of who I am and how I roll, making alist (enjoying it once, let alone twice) orenjoying every aromatic scent that wafts myway, seemed to be a concession to the diag-nosis, giving in to its inevitability. I felt, andstill feel, that doing things that I wouldn’tnormally do (or hadn’t ever done) would be– to me, anyway – like accepting my fate andacting accordingly; trying to fit 30 years into24 months because, well, you know. It can’tbe done, any more than I can squeeze into apair of 34-inch waist pants. I want to be whoI am, not someone I’m trying to be. I can livewith who I’ve become. I don’t mind “dan-cing with the horse that brung me.”

I don’t want to act out of character. I wantto act in character, with my dignity andhumanity intact. If I were to find myself act-ing uncharacteristically, I would know thereason I’m doing so is because I have a dis-ease/diagnosis whose prognosis has robbedme of the rest of my life, and knowing thatwould make kicking the bucket a frustratingand banal pursuit, not some kind of meta-phorical joy of accomplishment. I don’t wantto know – or think I know – that I must dosuch and such by a certain time because,before too long I won’t be kicking much ofanything. That reasoning would be self-defeating and there’s already more thanenough pressure (and some pain and suffer-ing) to go around. There is no need to createadditional/external pressure points (of mini-mal return). That’s not to say that I’m pre-tending I don’t have cancer but, if I were toact abnormally (for me), that would be pre-tending that I’m somebody I’m not. And ifthere’s one consideration (underlying andoverriding) in all I do concerning this cancertrain that I’m on (aside from wanting to getoff and/or transfer at the next station), it isthat I want to act in a way that brings me themost happiness. Because with that happinesscomes reduced stress and with that reducedstress comes cancer fighters. And if I’ve beentold once – which I haven’t, I’ve been toldmultiple times by health care professionalsand lay persons alike, it is how much effect apatient’s positive, stress-free attitude canhave on his or her prognosis. And so I lookfor any port in this storm.

My new favorite word is “stable.” It usedto be “shrinkage,” (Seinfeld context notapplicable here; this isn’t funny, this is seri-ous). As a cancer patient, I have come toappreciate – and spin super positively, scaninterpretations which my oncologist charac-terizes as “stable.” Shrinkage of tumors isobviously preferred – and ideal, but “stable”I can live with. Duh! And however long I dolive, I don’t want to be living my life con-stantly thinking of death as I race around theglobe biting at those last few apples. Deathwill come soon enough. There’s no senserushing it. Hyacinth Bucket/”Bouquet”wouldn’t have it any other way. There’s aright way to do things and though I may notexactly aim to please, I do aim to live a littleand laugh a lot.
