Laura Green takes her 2-year-olddaughter Elle to the children’sstory time at the ShirlingtonBranch Library. Elle loves the

songs and dances that are intermixed withreading, while Green enjoys introducing herdaughter to literature and giving her an op-portunity to socialize with other toddlers.

Starting July 5, Green and other parentsand caregivers of small children now haveadditional story time options at ArlingtonCounty Public Libraries.

“I am psyched that the county is addinganother story time slot,” Green said. “I amalways looking for ways to keep Elle busyand stimulated. The library story times helpfill the gap in the long days, plus it’s greatto meet and talk to other moms.”

Thanks to the Fiscal Year 2012 depart-ment budget that was approved by the Ar-lington County Board, six Arlington Countylibraries have longer hours. The library’s

materials budget will increase by $165,000which means that that Arlington CountyLibraries will have funds for library re-sources, such as new books, magazines andnewspapers, DVDs and downloadableitems.

“If you give an artist more canvas, you’rebound to get more works of art,” PeterGolkin said, public information officer forArlington County Public Libraries. “Any-thing you can imagine going on at a librarywe can do more of now. Technology will

play a big part [in acquisitions] because ofitems like Nooks and iPads.”

Golkin says the expanded hours also meanmore time for others who use the libraryfor purposes such as Internet services, jobsearches or research. The weakenedeconomy is sending more people to librar-ies to complete job applications or get helpwith resume writing.

Artie Jackson uses the computers at theAurora Hills branch library because he can-not afford Internet services at his home. “It

will be nice to use the Internet or even reada magazine in the evenings,” Jackson said.“I’ll take all the free luxuries that I can get.”

Golkin says the funding increase is sig-nificant in light of a trend of budget cutsfor libraries across the nation. “It’s no se-cret that the Arlington community loves itslibraries,” Golkin said. “We’re lucky thatpeople will rally for the library. It doesn’talways happen in other places, but it hap-pens here.”

On Wednesday mornings, the ColumbiaPike, Shirlington and Westover brancheswill open at 10 a.m. (rather than the cur-rent 1 p.m.) and remain open until 9 p.m.On Thursday evenings, the Aurora Hills,Cherrydale and Glencarlyn branches willremain open until 9 p.m. (rather than thecurrent 6 p.m.). All three branches open at10 a.m. on Thursdays. The additional hoursmean every branch in the Library system(except Plaza) will be open late three eve-nings during the week.

On Sunday evenings, Columbia Pike andShirlington branches will remain open un-til 9 p.m. (rather than the current 5 p.m),matching Central Library’s Sunday hours.All three libraries open at 1 p.m. CentralLibrary and the Plaza Branch Library andArlington Shop will maintain their currenthours of operation.

Next month will mark the four-year anni-versary of the death of Simran Singh, a21-year-old student at George Mason Uni-

versity who died after a struggle in a moving auto-mobile. Police and prosecutors say the other passen-gers in the car were employing self-defense. ButSingh’s family says he was murdered.

Now, as the anniversary of the August 2007 deathapproaches, Singh’s family says a newly amendedmedical examiner’s report should prompt

Commonwealth’s Attorney DickTrodden to press charges againstthe man they say killed SimranSingh. Trodden disagrees, addingthat the amended medicalexaminer’s report does not changehis legal analysis. As far as theprosecutor is concerned, the caseis closed and he will no longer bemeeting with the family to hear

their concerns.“It’s sad,” said Trodden, “But the facts are what

the facts are.”Neena Singh disagrees. She says her son was mur-

Family Focuses on Amended Medical Examiner’s Reportmined that her son was murdered. And

after she raised repeated concerns about theautopsy, the medical examiner agreed toreview the case file. Last month, anamended report was issued that changedthe cause of death from “accidental” to “un-determined.”

“Our lives have been shattered by this,”said Neena Singh, “and the prosecutor won’tdo anything about it.”

EVENTS LEADING to Singh’s deathstarted innocently enough. He had recentlyreconnected with Henry Agbemble, a friendfrom high school who served two tours ofduty in Iraq. They decided to renew theirfriendship by going out for drinks in theDistrict. The pair were joined by Agbemble’sroommate and two women they met onMySpace. After having a few cocktails, thegroup headed downtown.

When they arrived at the Eye Bar, the twowomen were not allowed in because theywere underage. Singh apparently wantedto stay at the bar, but Agbemble did notwant to abandon Singh. According to a nar-rative of events compiled by Trodden,Agbemble was concerned that Singh wasintoxicated in public and didn’t want toleave him there because he had promisedSingh’s parents that he would return himhome safely. So he forced Singh into thebackseat of the car. Agbemble was driving,and Singh was wedged between Agbemble’sroommate and one of the women.

“To look out for one’s brother is a laud-able goal — especially when you are theone who brought him,” Trodden wrote in a

Jan. 23, 2008 letter to the Singh family. “Tosay otherwise would encourage abandon-ment of the impaired to the vicissitudes ofthe urban night.”

Neena Singh sees it differently.“What gave him the right to abduct my

son?” she asked. “He had no right to putSimran in that car.”

ACCORDING TO police interviews withthe four other passengers in the car, sum-marized in Trodden’s narrative, the 21-year-old college student began screaming andtrying to kick out the windows. As the carwas moving, he was able to open rearpassenger’s side door and was part way outof the vehicle before the other passengerspulled him back in. A struggle ensued inthe back seat as the car was headed back toVirginia; Simran Singh head-butted thewoman and she retaliated by striking a blowto the back of his head.

“Wait till I get free,” he declared at onepoint, according to the prosecutor’s versionof events. “I’m going to kill you, you [exple-tive] whore.”

Simran Singh began kicking and punch-ing Agbemble as he was driving, grabbingthe steering wheel from the backseat andcausing a near-miss with another vehicle.Then he began to bang his head on the rearpassenger window. The female passengerwas concerned that he would break theglass so she pushed his head down towardher knees. He responded by biting her onthe leg. Agbemble reached back and pulledhim off of her, grabbing Simran Singh withhis right arm and placing him in a head-lock.

“You’ve got to calm down,” saidAgbemble, according to the prosecutor’snarrative.

Simran Singh was apparently held in thisposition for about 10 minutes, withAgbemble gripping his head in a headlockas the other passengers held his legs andright arm. After a while he began mumblingand moving with less vigor. Then he stoppedmoving altogether and became unrespon-sive. The female passenger in the backseatchecked for a pulse and found none. SoAgbemble pulled the car over and called911. Agbemble attempted CPR, but wasunsuccessful in bringing his friend back tolife.

FOR THE SINGH family, the aftermath ofhis death has been exasperating. Police haverefused to turn over basic documents, suchas the incident report or the recording ofthe 911 call. Although this informationwould be available in other states, a loop-hole in the Virginia Freedom of Informa-tion Act allows police and prosecutors dis-cretion to keep this information secret — apower they use indiscriminately to keepinformation about how they operate fromthe public and even family members.

Trodden says Agbemble’s actions werejustified because he was concerned aboutthe welfare of his friend. The prosecutorsaid he found no evidence that the killingwas intentional or that he acted with mal-ice. Furthermore, the original medical ex-aminer reported that Singh was sufferingfrom an undiagnosed heart condition thatcontributed to his death.

“The criminal law does not exist for the

purpose of personal revenge or retribution,”Trodden wrote in a January 2008 letter tothe Singh family. “I see no reason to ini-tiate prosecution in this matter and considerthe case closed.”

SINCE THEN, family members have beenpressing for answers. After raising a num-ber of questions about the medicalexaminer’s report, they persuaded the stateoffice to review the findings and file anamended report. The amended version ofthe examination shows that Simran Singhwas not suffering from an undiagnosedheart condition, and it changed the causeof death from “accidental” to “undeter-mined.” The family also hired its own medicalexaminer who concluded that SimranSingh’s death was homicide. Their repeatedrequests to meet with Trodden have beendenied because the prosecutor says he hasconcluded that his office will not be bring-ing charges, and so meeting with the fam-ily would be a waste of time. Meanwhilefamily members say they feel betrayed by asystem that has shielded documents fromthem and refused to return Simran Singh’sclothing, wallet and cell phone.

“These things are lost memories of myson,” said Neena Singh. “I have a right toknow what happened.” Next month, fam-ily members are planning a press confer-ence to call for authorities to reopen theinvestigation. Trodden says the investiga-tion is over, and the amended medicalexaminer’s report has not changed his le-gal analysis. Reached by telephone thisweek, Agbemble had no comment.

of this, “trying to learn how to communi-cate with people visually has always been apart of me.” She ran across the ASL Talesversion of the Princess and the Pea and de-cided she could adapt it to work for her ESLstudents.

She contacted Laurie Meyer, one of thefounders of ASL Tales. Meyer said, “Theteacher has really done an amazing job withcreating curriculum and creating applica-tions in the classroom. She was the first ESLeducator who saw the possibilities we’dbeen talking about. In a short period of time,she got incredible results.”

Meyer continued, “This is what we haddreamed would happen. In the first week,without any formal curriculum from us, thestudents got excited about using ASL tolearn English.

“Our whole dream is to transform howeducation happens. There are so manypeople who think they are learning ‘signlanguage,’ but they don’t realize that learn-ing sign words isn’t learning language. Youcan’t say how you feel or what you want,or how things connect. We wanted to givepeople access to the benefits of how ASLcreates a message.”

In Meyer’s opinion, this is what separatesASL Tales from other sign language pro-grams in schools. “Many schools are usingsign vocabulary,” she said. “By actuallyteaching visual language, they’d get somuch more for all kids. Not just ESL stu-dents, regular ed students and special edstudents, too.

Truly learning ASL is not easy, but thereare features of ASL that can be learnedquickly and provide valuable opportunities

for students.”Meyer said using ASL is valuable because

it helps children “create a visual image ofwhat the story is about.”

Rogers said, “The materials that havebeen provided by ASL Tales have been ex-cellent … It’s vocabulary rich. The storiesare very interesting. They are standard fairytales with a modern twist … The kids re-ally get a chance to imagine themselves inthe setting in the story.”

She thinks using ASL is worthwhile be-cause “a lot of the children that I work withhave not been very successful readers …These kids don’t have the movie playing intheir head of what’s going on in the story. Ithelps them see what’s happening as they’rereading it. It helps them visualize the storyby themselves. For these kids, it has beenextremely helpful and extremely motivat-ing.”

Explaining why he liked watching ASLTales, student Juan Flores said, “Sometimesthe lady makes funny faces.”

His sentiments were echoed in the wordsof Alisha Bronk, one of the deaf master sto-rytellers on the project: “ASL is fun and kidsthink it’s cool. With ASL Tales you get tosee features of the language that you don’tsee anywhere else. The face is not just fa-cial expressions; it’s a part of the grammar.ASL is much more than just the hands.”

Deborah Jaldin, another student, said,“Now I can sign to deaf people.”

Some students have even shared materi-als with their families. “I taught my momfour new signs,” Nour Tayari said.

Principal of Key School Dr. Marjorie Myerssaid, “It’s a really great opportunity for thekids to get an introduction to signing. Younever know when that will come in handy.”

The University of Management &Technology in Rosslyn held its sec-ond ever graduation ceremony this

past Saturday at the Artisphere and then atthe nearby Iwo Jima Memorial.

“We wanted to give people an opportu-nity to have a nice photo opportunity,” saidJ. Davidson Frame, the school’s academicdean. “We also wanted to do it, primarilybecause so many of our students are sol-diers and they get a kick out of wanting tovisit the Iwo Jima Memorial.”

The university was established 12 yearsago primarily as a distance learning insti-tution. Although many students have al-ready graduated, it was only last year thatthe school has been partaking in gradua-tion ceremonies.

According to Frame, the school has beenputting out feelers for the last few years.Everyone wanted to come but not every-one has been available. It’s been in the lastcouple years that more people were able tocome.

“It’s enriching because we communicateconstantly via e-mail, via telephone. It’s ajoy for them,” said academic coordinatorKevin Hagarty of the ceremony.

The university originally had students onthe same schedule. Approximately seven oreight years ago, the military students re-quested a self-paced approach, accordingto Frame.

“Because of their requests, we got awayfrom the standard of everyone studying to-gether at the same time. If they have freetime, they study together heavily,” saidFrame. “When these students are in com-bat, some of them go a week without sleep-ing.”

Fifty-seven students were scheduled toreceive their degrees at the graduation cer-emony with 13 earning the title of Doctorof Business Amdinistration (DBA) and oneperson, Guanglong Zhao being handed aPh.D.

Some of the graduates flew in from Chinato be able to participate in the ceremony as

“We’ll move to where we’ll eventuallyhave dissertation defense via Skype andcurriculum via videoconferencing,” saidHagarty.

The university is closely tied with manybranches of government. Additionally, it isaffiliated with a program from the Depart-ment of Defense that allows them to pro-vide education to military personnel.

It was the perfect place to raisetheir two daughters. And it was a perfect commutefor George, who spent his Naval career after the Warat the Pentagon.

Marian and George have witnessed many changesin their community, including the large and smalladditions and reconstructions that add more livingspace to prime property.

Some people might hesitate to consult with adietician, whether it’s to lose weight or eathealthier. Isn’t there a chance the dietician will

tell you that you need to do everything differently?Fairfax-based registered dietician Danielle Omar

works with clients ranging from those wanting tolose weight to athletes training for an event. She saidanyone interested in working with a dietician shouldspeak with several to find the best fit.

While trying to improve one’s diet can involve time,effort and struggle, Omar said someone looking toget healthier shouldn’t have to worry about makingunreasonably uncomfortable changes.

“Most of us are not going to try to make you some-thing you’re not,” she said “Don’t be scared you’re[going to be told] to go to a specific store and buyfood you’ve never heard of.”

Omar’s initial interaction with a client involvesgauging the client’s eating habits and establishinggoals. The client sends Omar three-to-five day’s worthof food logs to help determinewhat changes need to be made.

If the client has a goal to lose asignificant amount of weight,Omar would meet with the person“every two or three weeks for acouple months.” If the client sim-ply wants to improve his or herdiet, the two will probably meettwo or three times and be done.Omar’s services do not includelong-term counseling.

“I’m not the kind of person,” shesaid, “who meets weekly for sev-eral months. I don’t drag it out.”

Saving money can be anotherbenefit of seeing a dietician. Omarsaid some of her clients are peoplewith busy schedules who eat outoften. Omar offers healthy alter-natives to prepare at home.

“[Eating] out too much can be expensive,” she said.“[Some clients] really want to learn how to cook forthemselves [so they are] eating healthy.”

THE PROCESS of selecting a dietician should in-volve questioning credentials, Omar said.

“I think there’s something to say for gathering in-formation,” said Omar, who has a master’s degree inhealth sciences and a bachelor of science in dietet-

ics, according to her Website, foodconfidence.com.“Maybe you’re not sure that working with a dieti-

cian is the right thing for you, but you should con-tact some. … Tell them what your goals are and seewhat their approach is. Interview some and see whattheir approach is and see if it works for you.

“[Becoming a] registered dietitian [requires] abachelor’s degree in dietetics anda 9-to-12-month internship andexam and continuing educationevery five years,” Omar said.

Omar warns that some peoplewho call themselves nutritionistsare people who have taken a fewclasses and possibly lost weightthemselves. “They’re very good atmarketing themselves, but a lot oftimes they’re not really qualified,especially with clinical stuff.”

TIME, OR LACK THERE OF, isthe greatest deterrent to eatinghealthy, Omar said.

“Some of the obstacles thatpeople have [involve] their sched-ule — a lack of time to preparemeals [and] to do what it takes interms of planning,” she said. “A lot

of people rely on eating out. It’s difficult to eat healthywhen you’re eating out. You can, but some peopledon’t want to go that route.”

Portion size can also be a problem. Some peoplesimply eat too much per serving while others eat toomuch of one food group in a meal and not enough ofanother. As far as problem foods go, cheese is a popu-lar culprit.

“People love their cheese,” Omar said.

Of Diets and DieticiansSometimes advice from an expert canhelp achieve weight and nutrition goals.

Farmers’ markets can be a source of foodfor a healthy diet.

If you’ve ever wandered through or won-dered about the slings and arrows of outra-geous misfortune that accompanies a totallyunexpected – and unprepared for – diagnosisof terminal cancer to an otherwise healthy –and asymptomatic, lifelong non-smoker in hismid-50s, read on and discover even morequestions – and occasional answers, about lifein the cancer lane, a bumpy road if there everwas one.

I have a very close friend (my writingbuddy, as I call him), who has characterizedme as an expert with respect to this wholecancer-surviving experience. Not so muchhaving expertise as in I know things: facts, fig-ures, doses, pronunciations, protocols, etc.,which I don’t, really, but more so in that what-ever I do know – and have assimilated into mylife over these last 30 months. I have outlivedmy original prognosis (“13 months to twoyears”) and in surviving have become a sourceof somewhat unique and experiential, if notreliable information: I have in fact been thereand done that and so far, have lived through it(and as you regular readers know, have writtenabout it, too).

I don’t think I can say with certainty thatI’m ready to teach a class on the subject but, Iwould certainly say I could be a guest speakerfor 10 or 15 minutes. Aside from writing the“cancer columns” nearly non-stop as I have,through the passage of these two and one halfyears – including the original testing/ diagnos-ing, which led to the biopsy/malignancy, Ihave accumulated a sort of institutional knowl-edge on being a surviving cancer patient.Living, as they say, is its own reward. And myreward is that I’m still alive and ticking (if JohnCameron Swayze were still alive, he’d bedoing a Timex watch-type voice-over righthere) and as such, have collected, through fitsand starts, knowledge and first-hand experi-ences concerning what cancer treatment canbe like, generally (patients/protocols/sideeffects are all different) and what that patientmight feel – and need (and I’m not talkingabout food when hungry either, I’m talkingabout aid and comfort during the heat of bat-tle and the throes of depression) to help navi-gate through this minefield of physical andemotional tumult. It takes a toll; on patient,family, friend (even foe, I would imagine), doc-tor, health care professional, anyone withwhom there’s contact. A diagnosis of cancer isthe most unwelcome news, the consequencesof which are life-changing to say the least, andlife-ending to say the most.

Not that any of my insights are particularlyunique or proven in any way to soothe thesavage cancer beast that appears in cancerpatients, occasionally, but denying its existenceor doubting its insidious hold would be myfirst warning shot across the bow – or brow ofany caregiver (whomever; family, friend orprofessional) primarily responsible for the careand feeding of a cancer and/or terminalpatient. The physical manifestations of a can-cer diagnosis are likely apparent, but it’s thepsychological/emotional erosion that might notbe seen that requires the softest touch.

Thirty months post diagnosis, that’s what Istill need the most: emotional reinforcement.Not constantly, but certainly regularly. It’salmost as if, weakening that emotional resolvecompromises my defenses somehow, therebyenabling the cancer to do what all cancerpatients fear the most: metastasize. What uscancer patients call “the m word.” A slipperyslope – make that an avalanche, if there everwas one.
