Throughout a morningfull of setting up; including trans-forming the normal every-day col-lege classrooms into Asiancelebratory places full of dragondecorations, colors, and shapesfrom a far eastern part of the worldand collecting food from eight dif-ferent restaurants located inFairfax County, which trulybrought the taste of Asia to the

college location, the committeeasked mother nature to keep therain drops away.

We celebrated the event with animpromptu ‘Day Light Dance’ ini-tiated by Robert Lee, the event’sMaster of Ceremony, which wasjoined by everyone from theyoungest dancers to the oldest,praying for the rain to stay in thesky. After the greetings, SanjanaSrikanth presented an Indiandance followed by an impressivepresentation from a group fromTaekwondo. The audience wasmesmerized by these works of artfrom people of Asia.

The original Taste of Asia eventwas created to share the cultureof the Asian countries and thisyear’s event shared the Asian food,performances, cultural arts andfriendships with 200 people ofvarying backgrounds includingmany young people.

News

The U.S. Department of Interior Bureau ofLand Management (BLM) will offer ap-proximately 40 wild horses ranging fromyearling to 5 years old to potential adopt-

ers on June 20-21, 2014, at the Meadowood Recre-ation Area, located at 10406 Gunston Road, inLorton.

With kindness and patience, a wild horse or burrocan be trained for many uses. Wild horses have be-come champions in dressage, jumping, barrel rac-ing, endurance riding, and pleasure riding, whileburros excel in driving, packing, riding, guarding,and as companion animals. Both wild horses and wildburros are known for their sure-footedness, strength,intelligence, and endurance. You can adopt your veryown wild horse or burro in Lorton.

A wild free-roaming horse or burro, as defined byFederal law, is an unbranded, unclaimed, free-roam-ing horse or burro found on Western public range-lands. Wild horses and burros are descendants ofanimals released by or escaped from Spanish explor-ers, ranchers, miners, U.S. Cavalry, or Native Ameri-cans.

Wild horses and burros have virtually no naturalpredators and their herd sizes can double about ev-ery four years. As a result, the agency must removethousands of animals from the range each year tocontrol herd sizes. The maximum appropriate man-agement level is approximately 26,677. The BLMmanages, protects, and controls wild horses and bur-ros under the authority of the 1971 Wild Free-Roam-ing Horses and Burros Act. This law authorizes the

BLM to remove excess wild horses and burros fromthe range to sustain the health and productivity ofthe public lands.

While the adoption process is simple and straight-forward, anyone considering adoption of a wild horseshould remember that the animals are wild and re-quire gentling and training. Prospective adoptersmust have sturdy corrals that are 20’ x 20’ (or larger),at least 6 feet high for an adult horse and at least 5feet high for horses younger than 18 months, andhave a shelter directly attached to the corral. Adopt-ers must provide a stock-type, step up trailer (rampsand side-by-side two-horse type trailers are not al-lowed).

The Saturday adoption will be on a first come, firstserved basis. The animals can be previewed on Fri-day, June 20, from 2 p.m. - 7 p.m. Adoption hourson Saturday, June 21, are from 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Aminimal adoption fee of $125 for animals less thanthree years of age and $25 for animals three andolder is required for adoption. In addition, you cantake home a buddy animal for only $25 when youadopt any animal at the full fee of $125.

Applications to adopt will be reviewed starting onFriday and may be submitted until Saturday. For moreinformation, call 1-866-4MUSTANGS (1-866-468-7826) or visit the BLM web site atwww.wildhorseandburro.blm.gov.

All animals available for adoption have been ex-amined by a veterinarian, vaccinated, de-wormed,and blood-tested. Since 1971, the BLM has adoptedout more than 230,000 animals nationwide.

The Connection

A Broadway-style, mu-sical adventure is ontap in Encore Theat-rical Arts Project’s

new show, “The World at YourFeet.”

It’ll be presented Saturday,June 14, at 8 p.m., and Sunday,June 15, at 3 and 6 p.m., atNOVA’s Ernst Community Cul-tural Center, 8333 Little RiverTurnpike in Annandale. Ticketsare $22, adults; $18, studentsand senior citizens, atwww.encore-tap.org.

The cast of 56 singers anddancers comes from at least adozen different schools, and Di-rector/Choreographer Raynorvan der Merwe says they’vebeen “a joy to work with. Theactors are terrific, the story’scoming together great and thedancers are doing wonderfully.It’s a family-friendly show foraudiences of all ages.”

The story’s about a New Yorkgirl who doesn’t want to try newthings, unlike her adventurousfriends. But that all changeswhen she meets a woman witha bag full of magic hats that cantake her anywhere.

“It’s a really engaging and funshow,” said van der Merwe. “Youknow what to expect, but that’spart of the enjoyment. And theaudience will enjoy the varietyof music and different genres ofdance in each country the girlvisits.”

Eighth-grader Margot Vanyanplays the lead role, Katie. “She’sshy and uptight and doesn’t liketo try new things,” said Vanyan.“But she gradually becomesmore open and gets excitedabout them. And each time shegoes to a different country, she’sinterested in learning moreabout it.”

Vanyan likes her part because“I get to sing and my characteris funny. And I’ve learned aboutthe countries, too, while play-ing Katie. My favorite song is‘Together Again for the FirstTime.’ I sing and dance in it witha few other people, and it’s a re-ally hilarious number.”

IN HER THIRD YEAR withEncore, Vanyan’s danced since

age 4. “We’re going to put on anamazing show,” she said. “Thedancing’s great and the singing’sabsolutely phenomenal.”

Clifton’s Emily Dillard, afreshman at Fairfax High, playsLily, Katie’s best friend. “Shelikes to try new things and sheappears in different countries asdifferent people,” said Dillard.“So I also play an African villageleader, a French artist and a tourguide in China. Lily’s very dra-matic and has an outgoing per-sonality, and it’s fun playing avariety of parts within the sameshow.”

With Encore six years, Dillardfinds dancing relaxing. “Onceyou know what you’re doing, it’svery calming,” she explained.“Whenever I can’t focus atschool, I tap under my desk andit helps me.” She’s also learnedthat, “When you get corrected,instead of feeling down on your-self, you should come back withmore energy and sharpness.And sometimes rehearsing is al-most more fun than the perfor-mance because you get to ex-periment and try new things.”

In the upcoming show, Dillardsays the audience will “defi-nitely enjoy the dancing, espe-cially the can-can number.That’s some of the most impres-sive dancing I’ve ever seen, es-pecially for high-school stu-dents.”

Westfield High senior CarolineBond, with Encore three years,has danced since age 7. “It helpsme get out my energy and I re-ally like performing,” she said.“At Encore, I’ve learned timemanagement – even outside thestudio. I’m here over 14 hours aweek, minimum, so I’ve had tomanage dancing with schooland my volunteer work.”

IN THIS SHOW, she’s in sev-eral numbers, but “Chop Suey”is her favorite. “It’s a tap rou-tine to a catchy song, and wewear Chinese-takeout boxes,”she said. Overall, said Bond,“There’s a cool storyline that willentertain the audience andprobably make them want to trynew things, too.”

Renee Griese, a Chantilly Highjunior, has danced with Encore’sperforming company since sixthgrade. “If I’ve had a bad day, Ican forget about it and escapefor awhile through dancing; it’svery relaxing,” she said. “In thisshow, I play a French waitress,but I’m mainly a dancer andsinger.”

From creating dough for freshly baked breadto squeezing lemons for a neighborhoodlemonade stand, Michael Roll enjoys spend-ing time in the kitchen with his children

transforming ordinary food into nutritious culinarycreations, particularly during the summer. He saysthat when parents cook healthy meals with theirchildren they model behavior that can last a lifetime.

“The more ‘from scratch’ and processing raw foodat home a child can see through their parents, thebetter understanding the child can develop in termsof what makes food healthy and unhealthy and whereour food comes from,” said Roll, director, Depart-ment of Culinary Arts and Food and Beverage Man-agement at The Art Institute of Washington in Ar-lington. “These are fundamental things that can eas-ily be lost in our very time-crunched worlds and longgrocery store aisles of prepared and over-processedfoods.”

and a chance to make their ownselections broadens their culinaryhorizons. “In my experience, kidsare more willing to try somethingnew if they are given the opportu-nity to choose that new item them-selves,” said Wisnewski. “Chal-lenge them to choose one newthing a week. “One week havethem look for the most beautifulfruit or vegetable they can find atthe market, next week have themfind the ugliest. You might all besurprised with how that experi-ment plays out. The kids will gainexposure and you will gain expe-rience. You were always curiousabout kohlrabi anyway, right?”

Roll encourages parents to ap-proach cooking with an attitude ofenthusiasm. “Baking chocolatechip cookies, even with my 6 yearolds was fun because measuringflour, sugar, learning how to crackan egg were all exciting things forthem,” he said. “Licking raw bat-ter and tasting warm cookiesdidn’t hurt, but at 11, my soncould probably make passablecookies without any help. Myfamily’s passion for cookies iswhy.”

COOKING TECHNIQUES andthe tasks children undertake in thekitchen should be age appropriate,said Roll. “For the really young,nothing beats funny shapes, lay-ering yogurt and fruit and granolain a clear glass is magical to achild,” he said. “For the older,make baking a chemistry lesson onbaking soda [or] why flour inbread makes such a different prod-uct than flour in pancakes.”

Roll added, “I think that start-ing simple helps, too. Chickenbroth, chicken, carrots, celery andpasta, with some seasoning stillmakes the best cold remedy thereis. A child can peel a carrot. A childcan test the doneness of pasta, a

Yorktown senior CasonLiles controlled thefaceoff, maintained pos-

session down the field andscored his first goal of the sea-son late in the first quarter ofThursday’s 6A North regionquarterfinal contest againstSouth County.

Liles’ goal led to cheers fromhis teammates. Liles’ faceoffdominance throughout the con-test, however, helped give thePatriots a historic achievementto celebrate at the end of thenight.

The Yorktown boys’ lacrosseteam defeated South County13-6 at Lee High School inSpringfield, securing the Patri-ots’ first trip to the regionalsemifinals in program history.South County entered the con-test with a 15-1 record and av-eraging 14 goals per game, butthanks to Liles’ faceoff domi-nance and a strong defensiveeffort led by sophomore ConorShears, junior Timothy Aldingerand sophomore goalkeeperMason Pollack, the Patriots lim-ited the Stallions to their low-est goal-scoring output of theseason.

“It’s huge,” Liles said. “Wecame out here with a chip onour shoulder. I think we werejust so hyped up and so readyto play this game. None of theseniors wanted their season toend. I couldn’t be prouder of myteam right now.”

Yorktown led 7-2 at halftime.South County goals by AustinFitzmaurice and David Krein cutthe Patriots’ lead to three mid-way through the third quarter,

but Yorktown scored six of thenext seven goals to pull away.

“[Liles] was the difference,”Yorktown head coach Greg Beersaid. “We did very well onfaceoffs and that was the dif-ference tonight, I believe. Otherthan that, I thought we werepretty even. We were able tocontrol possessions and … sortof limit their offense, consider-ing how much firepower [SouthCounty has] between Symmes,Quigley and the rest of thoseguys.”

Tyler Alexander scored twogoals for South County.

Symmes praised Yorktown’sdefense, but said South Countymight have been guilty of over-looking the Patriots.

“No one was outright saying,‘Oh, yes, easy game, just take itoff, we’ll just coast through,’”Symmes said. “No one was say-ing that, but I think maybe, sub-consciously, we weren’t takingthis game as seriously as weshould have. Shoulda, woulda,coulda, though.”

Yorktown improved its recordto 15-4. The Patriots, who de-feated Oakton in the openinground, traveled to faceRobinson (14-3) in the regionalsemifinals on June 4.

South County finished theseason with a 15-2 record anda Conference 7 championship.

“I’m proud of the way myguys played,” first-year SouthCounty head coach Dale Nallssaid. “Going 15-2 on the season,that’s an impressive season.Obviously, we had our sights seton a bigger prize than going 15-2, but I think South County is arelevant state championshipcontender. We just didn’t playlike it tonight.”

Patriots limit Stallions to lowestgoal-scoring output of 2014.

The Connection

With runners on first and second withnobody out in the bottom of the ninthinning, Lake Braddock catcherCaroline Jones swung at the first

pitch she saw and popped out via the infield fly rule.The next two Bruin batters would strike out, keep-ing Monday’s 6A North region quarterfinal softballcontest against Madison locked in a scoreless tie.

“I [knew we] would score,” Lake Braddock pitcherAshley Flesch said later that evening. “It was just amatter of time.”

As it turned out, Flesch, who battled Madison’sKatie Vannicola in a lengthy pitcher’s duel, was right.After the Bruins scored once in the bottom of the10th to keep their season alive, Jones would get an-other opportunity with a runner in scoring positionin the bottom of the 13th. This time, the sophomoreslugger would send Lake Braddock to the semifinals.

Jones hit Vannicola’s 202nd pitch of the eveningback up the middle for an RBI single, giving the Bru-ins a 2-1, 13-inning victory over the Warhawks onJune 2 at Lake Braddock Secondary School. Jones’hit was one of just four the Bruins managed againstVannicola, but Lake Braddock found a way to outlastthe Warhawks.

“It was definitely a battle,” Jones said. “Katie is anamazing pitcher, Madison is an amazing team. Weknew that if we slipped once, the door is wide openfor them, so we had to stay strong as a team and wefinally pulled through.”

LAKE BRADDOCK left the door open in the top ofthe 10th, when Madison left fielder Jordyn Pistillibroke a scoreless tie with a one-out RBI single. How-ever, the Bruins countered in the bottom half, whena single by freshman third baseman Patty MayeOhanian and a Warhawk error tied the score at 1-all, sending the marathon contest into the 11th in-ning.

Madison had a chance to take the lead in the topof the 13th, but Lake Braddock center fielder JennaEdwards threw out the potential go-ahead run athome plate after the Warhawk runner attempted totag up on a fly ball.

Jones’ single in the bottom half of the inning endedthe game.

“The character of the kids is outstanding,” LakeBraddock head coach George Rumore said. “They justdon’t quit. They love to play and they hung in there.We know that if Ashley … is holding us in the game,that we just have to keep playing good defense andkeep making plays, and then we hope we get some-body across the plateDESPITE THE EXPERIENCE of losing to SouthCounty, Flesch said she believed the Bruins wouldeventually score during Monday’s contest againstMadison.

“She had a lot of endurance,” Jones said. “Shekeeps hitters off balance, she’s very hard to hit andshe’s very deceptive. … She’s a warrior out there.She fights for us and she never gives up.”

Vannicola suffered the loss on Monday. The right-hander allowed two runs — one earned — and fourhits in 12 2/3 innings. She walked eight and struckout 17. Vannicola threw 202 pitches, including 119strikes.

Lake Braddock first baseman Amanda Hendrixdoubled in the ninth inning. Ohanian had a pair ofsingles for the Bruins, and Jones had one.

Lake Braddock improved to 23-1. The Bruins wontheir second consecutive Conference 7/Patriot Dis-trict title this season, beating South County in thechampionship game on May 23.

OBITUARYBernacki, Michael William

Mike, 61, passed away at home in Anthem, AZ from pancre-atic cancer on March 19th, 2014. Mike was born in Philadel-

phia, PA on Aug. 28, 1952. Growing up he would spend summers in Long Island Beach on the Jersey Shore. He

graduated from St. Vincent’s College in Latrobe, PA. Mike had a 30-year distinguished career in the FBI working in NYC and Quantico, VA. After retirement, he helped form Tactical Operations Support Services (TOSS) and served as an in-

structor for the company. He was an avid sports lover and a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan. He is survived by his mother Anne, wife Shira, daughter Heather (Matt) Wilkey and step-

daughters Jessi and Amanda Calkins. He is predeceased by his wife of almost 20 years, Sherry Swank Bernacki. He was a kind, compassionate man and a loving father. A graveside

service will be held on Saturday, June 7th at 10:30 in the morning at Fairfax Memorial Park, 4401 Burke Station Road in Fairfax, VA (GPS address). In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests a donation be made to the Wounded

Warrior Project, http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/.

sorship, attendees had access to hands-onactivities. With leadership from Ms. Lind-say Holt, arts and crafts tables were set upfor origami (Japan), Cultural Masks(China), Weaving (Philippines), andMandala (India/Tibet/South Asia). Therewas a table set up for Name Calligraphywhere attendees’ names could be writtenin Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, Thaiand Tagalog. While these activities werehappening, I could hear a lot of dialogueabout the meaning of names and back-ground, helping the attendees make mean-ingful connections to each other.

All participants had a passport to get theirstamps to be sure they were not missing outany valuable experiences from the event. Itrust all participants from this event tastedAsia in many ways and I am grateful forthat. I thank 30 -plus volunteers that wehad for the event and special thanks to ourevent committee members who helpedbuild many positive bridges among peoplein this diverse county.

When I witnessed some kids from Ghana,trying on Korean, Chinese and Thai dressesand having a photo-op, I saw a glimpse of‘Promised Land,” that once Martin LutherKing noted. When I witnessed Chinesewomen helping Hispanic young peoplewearing their Chinese costumes, there washeartfelt welcoming and receiving of friend-ship built.

It was pleasure of seeing acceptance ofeach other and they are moving forward tolearn about each other and they are reach-ing out and sharing their stories. Theirhearts were wide opened to embrace eachother for those moments. There was joy andhappiness all around.

I saw what Dr. Martin Luther Kingdreamed: ”that day when all of God’s chil-dren, black men and white men, Jews andGentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will beable to join hands and sing in the words ofthe old Negro spiritual: Free at last! Free atlast! Thank God Almighty, we are free atlast!”

I am committed to seed the dream thatDr. King once talked about by offering acolumn that would continue to offer a placefor a “Taste of Asia” and I am very excitedabout this calling.

As E.M. Forster noted, that this columnwill bring humanism to our living. “The fourcharacteristics of humanism are curiosity, afree mind, belief in good taste, and beliefin the human race.”

Wonhee Kang will write an occasionalcolumn for the Connection.
