Lord and Lady Fairfax at LargeBulova names KateHanley and Lt. Col.John P. McAnaw asLady and LordFairfax at large.

Fairfax County Board of SupervisorsChairman Sharon Bulova namedKatherine K. Hanley, former board

chairman, as this year’s At-Large LadyFairfax.

Hanley was first elected to the FairfaxCounty School Board, then the Board ofSupervisors as the Providence District su-pervisor and then as Board of Supervisorschairman.

“During her tenure, Ms. Hanley workedtirelessly with other members of the board,not only advocating for education, but alsofor human services and affordable hous-ing. In recognition, a homeless shelter forfamilies, was named after her. Recently ad-ditional transitional housing units called‘Kate’s Place’ were built adjacent to theshelter,” said Bulova.

Hanley was instrumental in the estab-lishment of the Revenue Stabilization fundalong with a significant investment inbuilding Fairfax County’s InformationTechnology infrastructure, said Bulova.“She was also a great proponent of trans-portation initiatives, helping to positionthe Silver Line for federal funding.”

After leaving the Board of Supervisors,Hanley served as Secretary of the Common-wealth, and is now on the Metropolitan Wash-ington Airport Authority, the Fairfax CountyElectoral Board and the Community ServicesBoard. She has led the bipartisan election com-mission, the committee on the meals tax, aneffort that brought together disparate, compet-ing groups who came up with a near unani-mous vote to bring a report to the Board ofSupervisors, said Bulova.

Bulova cited Lt. Col. John P. McAnaw’s lovefor history, love of country and love of servicereasons she named him the 2015 Lord Fairfax.

“Lt. Col. John P. McAnaw is well known forhis tireless work to preserve history in FairfaxCounty,” said Bulova. “His love of our pastearned him a Lifetime Achievement Award fromthe History Commission for his decades of ser-vice as a Civil War Historian.”

The Park Authority honored McAnaw by nam-ing a recreation area for his preservation ef-forts.

He helpedlead the effort to preserve Ox Hill, an impor-tant Civil War site. In addition to this, he is alsoa board member of the Fairfax Station RailroadMuseum and has served as a historian for anumber of local organizations in Fairfax County.

In his Kings Park West community, McAnawhas served as chairman of the Parks commit-tee, leading numerous efforts to mobilize scoutsand volunteers to build and maintain trailsthroughout the parkland surrounding RoyalLake.

On Memorial Day, we rememberall of those who have died inmilitary service, more than400,000 in World War II, more

than 30,000 in Korea, more than 50,000 inVietnam.

As many as 620,000 soldiers died in the lineof duty in the Civil War, stunningly about 2percent of the population at that time. To com-pare, while more than 2.5 million soldiers haveserved in Iraq and Afghanistan, that numberis still less than one percent of the U.S.population.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, more than6,800 U.S. military service men andwomen have died in support of the wars inIraq and Afghanistan.

On Memorial Day, there are many ways toremember the fallen, including a visit to Ar-lington National Cemetery, or many other lo-cal commemorations. But at a minimum, wher-ever you are, you can observe a moment ofsilence at 12:01 p.m. along with Iraq and Af-ghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), or youcan set your own moment at some point dur-ing the day.

More than 52,000 U.S. military service mem-bers have been wounded in action, althoughthat number is likely to be revised upward. In2013, the military confirmed traumatic braininjury in more than 220,000 of the more than2.5 million troops who have served in Iraq andAfghanistan. The long-term consequences ofmany of these injuries, including mental healthconsequences, are unknown, but they will re-quire a national commitment to excellence inhealth care and services for both active dutymilitary personnel and veterans. Virginia’s U.S.Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine continueto advocate for better service from the Veter-ans Administration.

Since Memorial Day 2014, with military op-erations winding down in Afghanistan, theDepartment of Defense announced the deathsof two military service members from Virginia.Sgt. Charles C.

The Connection

For the third year in a row, a team fromChantilly High has won the statechampionship in economics. The four

students took first place in the Adam SmithDivision (advanced economics) of the 2015Governor’s Challenge in Economics andPersonal Finance.

The competition was held April 17 at VCUand marked the school’s sixth champion-ship overall in this division. The winningteam members are senior BrendanAronhime and juniors Aron Malatinszky,Alice Wang and Kincaid Youman.

“I’m extremely proud of this group,” saideconomics teacher Joe Clement, their coach.“They worked hard and it paid off. Theyalso got along really well and were fun towork with. I think we win so often becausewe have fantastic economics students. Wehave kids who ask the right questions, thinkof different ways to solve problems and aresuper curious.”

“It’s also a function of the fact that suc-cess begets success,” he continued. “Thatis, we win and kids become interested thefollowing year; we win again, more kidsbecome interested; rinse, repeat. We areconstantly building on the success of prioryears. We get the most amazing students tocome out for this competition, and thisyear’s students certainly continued that tra-dition of excellence.”

More than 3,200 Virginia high-school stu-dents competed in the event’s preliminaryrounds, with 168 qualifying for the day-longchampionship. And although Chantillydidn’t make it to the national finals, it didreach the semifinals.

Regarding the Governor’s Challenge,there’s a statewide test to see who makeseach school’s team and which schools com-pete at states. Twelve people tried out forChantilly’s team, which was formed duringspring break.

“We met once a week after school,” said

Malatinszky. But the students said theymainly honed their skills in class. Each alsoexplained why they like economics.

“Economics is so much more than thestudy of money,” said Aronhime. “It exam-ines how people make decisions. And it pro-vides explanations for the choices we makein our everyday lives that we don’t reallythink about — and I find that fascinating.”

“My grandfather worked in the WorldBank, so I thought economics was a coolfield to follow and I started studying it,”said Malatinszky. “Our school’s economicsteam is really strong because Mr. Clementis a really good teacher. So I had an extramotivation to study even more to add ontoChantilly’s economics dominance.”

Since people are always talking about theeconomy, said Youman, “I wanted to under-stand more about what’s going on in theworld. I joined the team because I was do-ing well in the class and wanted to help wina state championship.”

“Economics has the power to target so-cial issues, like poverty, that are plaguingsociety in general,” added Wang. “It’s prac-tical in all fields of study and it’s basicallylife.”

THE STATE championship consisted of tworounds. The first one was a written testtaken by all the teams. It dealt with macro-economics (the larger picture) and worldevents. Then the two, top-scoring teamsoverall competed in the second round.Called the “buzzer round,” it’s similar to aquiz bowl where team members buzz in toanswer questions before their opponents do.

An example of a macro-economics ques-tion, said Wang, would be: “When exces-sive government spending reduces privateinvestment, what is that called?” (Answer:Crowding out).

Aronhime provided a sample buzzer-round question: “This concept in gametheory describes a situation in which every-one makes the best decision based on ev-eryone else’s decisions.” (Answer: The NashEquilibrium). Each student focused onstudying a specific area for the competition.Aronhime covered economists; Malatinszky,international relations; Youman, U.S. eco-nomics; and Wang, economic history.

Malatinszky said the toughest parts of themacro-economics section were the ques-

tions involving net capital outflow. In worldevents, said Aronhime, the most difficultquestions dealt with world trade statistics.He also said it was hard knowing what tostudy in advance because economics is sucha broad discipline.

However, Wang said the worst part of thewhole competition was “waiting for themto announce the top two teams.” But shewas thrilled that Chantilly was one of them.“There aren’t words to describe how awe-some Mr. Clement is,” she said. “He wasconfident that we’d win, and we didn’t wantto let him down.”

Youman said the most surprising thingwas that “they asked about specific ques-tions that no one would be expected toknow. For example, ‘To which two nationsdoes Virginia export the most agriculturalproducts?’ The answer was China andCanada.”

But, said Aronhime, “We really enjoyedwinning. We didn’t think we would becausewe were competing against really goodschools, such as T.J. [Thomas Jefferson].”

“I was relieved because we really wantedto win and we worked hard,” said

Malatinszky. “And the trophy for our schoolwas a physical representation of our suc-cess.” Youman was just happy with theirvictory, and Aronhime also felt relief be-cause they’d prepared so much and Clem-ent had high expectations of them.

“The quiz bowl was the most fun part,when we went onstage in front of all theother teams and destroyed the competi-tion,” said Youman. “Brendan buzzed inbefore the questions were finished and an-swered them right, almost every time.”

All in all, said Wang, “It’s an awesomeexperience that was really unique — some-thing to have on your bucket list.” Whenthe Chantilly students heard they won, shesaid, “I felt kind of numb; it didn’t set inuntil we were halfway home.”

All four students attributed their victoryto their coach. “He’s a great teacher andmade us really enthusiastic about the sub-ject,” said Aronhime.

Calling the tournament “a cool and funexperience,” Malatinszky said it was “greatto see so many economic experts judgingus — and they also had phenomenal dough-nuts and sandwiches there.”

The Connection

Graduation, prom and the summer beforeheading off to college are some of the high-lights of a teen’s high school experience.

While the season brings landmark events, it can bemarred by the consequences of engaging in harmfulactivities.

Parents can play a pivotal role in keeping teenssafe. The Unified Prevention Coalition of FairfaxCounty reports that teens cite their parents as theleading influence for them not to drink, and say thatit is not difficult to get alcohol from their familyhome, older siblings or friends.Initiating a dialogue with teensabout the dangers of unsafe behav-iors such as drinking and drug usecan be daunting for some parents.

“We know that teens who re-ceive consistent messages fromtheir parents about their expecta-tions that their child not use alco-hol are much less likely to use,”said Diane Eckert, deputy execu-tive director, Unified PreventionCoalition of Fairfax County.

The season brings celebratoryactivities and less supervision, andtherefore more opportunities totake chances, said Eckert. It’s criti-cal that parents “sit down withyour teens and talk with themabout your expectations,” she said.“With less structure and more excitement, teens canfind themselves taking more risks, so it’s importantfor parents to be involved.”

Conversations about safety during activities whereteens will have more freedom can be difficult to navi-gate. “For sure those are hard conversations,” saidAmy L. Best, Ph.D., professor of Sociology and chairof the Department of Sociology and Anthropologyat George Mason University in Fairfax.

“Parents want to be careful not to drown out thefun times that prom and graduation also represent.It’s about finding balance. Part of it is about findingways to talk about the risks without your teen walk-ing away feeling hyper-vulnerable anddisempowered.”

The dialogue should be factual and non-threaten-ing. “Ask open-ended question about what is goingon at school and with their friends,” said Best. “Iteasier to open those conversations when you’re nottalking about your child, and you’re collecting infor-mation about what is going on at school and withtheir friends.” Best is author of “Prom Night: Youth,Schools and Popular Culture” (2000 Routledge),which was selected for the 2002 American Educa-tional Studies Association Critics’ Choice Award.

Difficult conversations are made easier if there isa history of open, honest communication between aparent and child. While parents should make theirexpectations for their child’s behavior clear, Bestwarns against lecturing or talking down to a teen.“The prom should not be the first time that theseconversations occur,” she said. “It’s really importantthat kids to be able to express their feelings and havean active role in the conversation. Trust has to be

built into the relationship in orderfor that to happen.”

A concrete plan for ensuringsafety should be part of the con-versation. “Kids are often in situa-tions where alcohol is being con-sumed and they may not be theones consuming it,” said Best. “Sosafe driving arrangements are im-portant.”

“The good news is that a lot ofkids are opting out of drinking andgreater awareness around the po-tential for sexual assault,” saidBest. “The message has to be com-municated in advance and schoolshave a role to play in that.”

In Arlington, School ResourceOfficers are collaborating with lo-cal high schools to focus on alco-

hol use prevention and awareness programs now thatprom and graduation season is underway. Programssuch as “Drive to Stay Alive” and “Prom Promise”are in place to educate students in having a safe andfun prom season. One of the roles of the officers is toprovide positive guidance to students “and to act aspositive role models both inside and outside theschool environment.”

Kathy Ely, spokeswoman for Connelly School ofthe Holy Child, an all-girls school in Potomac, Md.,says her school, as well as most schools, have safetyplans in place. “We understand the pressures thatthese girls are under, and work hard to educate themabout effects not just now but for their future,” shesaid.

Help make prom and graduationnight safe for teens by followingthese tips:

❖ Do not serve or allow alcohol atany party you are hosting; an adultwho provides alcohol to a minor isbreaking the law and risking thatteen’s life.

❖ Know where your teenager isattending a party; verify there willbe parental supervision, and that itwill be alcohol-free.

• Make it clear to your teen(s)that you do not approve of theirdrinking alcohol.

• Report underage drinking parties bycalling the Fairfax County PoliceDepartment’s non-emergency number:703-691-2131. Your call can be anony-mous and may prevent injuries or a fatalcar crash.

• Educate your family on the risksassociated with underage drinking andits proven harmful effects on the brain.The legal drinking age is 21, and stu-dents who wait until their early 20s todrink are 84 percent less likely to de-velop an addiction than those who startearlier.

• Make sure your teen has a plan for

Educating about Alcohol and DrugsSuggestions for talking toteens about staying safe.

“… It is aboutfinding ways to talkabout the riskswithout your teenwalking awayfeeling hyper-vulnerable anddisempowered.”

— Amy L. Best, Ph.D.,George Mason University

Tips for Keeping Teens Safethe night and that you know what itis.

• Do not rent hotel rooms forprom-goers.

• Know who is driving — if it’s alimo, check their policy on not al-lowing any alcohol in the vehicleand driving any teen who clearly hasbeen drinking.

• Encourage your senior to attendtheir school’s All Night GraduationCelebration.

By KENNETH B. LOURIE

In Contrast

Even though my previous CT Scan“looked good,” nonetheless I amalready, two months out, thinking aboutmy next scan, scheduled for July 15. Iam not nervous or anxious about it yet.But I am something. Typically, thoseemotions begin a week or so before thescan and last a week or so after, until welearn the results. What I am addressingin my own way, is what challenges somecancer patients, certainly me: we can’tleave well enough alone and, as arelated condition, might not savor themoment/good news because the under-lying diagnosis – in my case, non-smallcell lung cancer, stage IV – is so bad, andby bad I mean incurable. In fact, thatwas the first thing I remember myoncologist saying to me/Team Lourie: “Ican treat you but I can’t cure you.”

Nevertheless, here I am six-plus yearslater, alive and abnormally well, givenmy original prognosis: “13 months totwo years.” Still undergoing chemother-apy, still not cured; characterized by myoncologist as his “third miracle.” As Iwait for the other shoe to drop, otherthan experiencing symptoms – which Irarely have – and evaluating my every-three-week pre-chemotherapy lab work,the diagnostic scans (CT Scan for memostly, occasionally an MRI or a bonescan) are the best indicators of tumorgrowth, movement and/or new activity.To get the clearest radiological picture/assessment, often a dye (a.k.a “contrast”)is injected into the patient to providethe computerized tomography what itneeds to create a more detailed render-ing of the affected area. Given my pre-existing, chemotherapy-affected kidneydamage, and factoring in that the “con-trast” would be filtered through the kid-neys, causing potential stress to thatorgan, per doctor’s orders (or lackthereof), I’ve not had a CT Scan withcontrast for three or four years (and Iusually have four CT Scans per year).

However safe he/we have been, nei-ther my oncologist nor I are the least bitsorry about it. He has been able to rea-sonably track the tumors in my lungs;and so far, so good (amazing, actually).But, for the next scan, he has orderedthat it be completed with contrast.When I asked him why now/what aboutmy elevated creatinine/kidney function,his answer was something about my lev-els being higher than normal but nottrending up, so, since it’s been years, hethought it prudent – and timely, allthings considered – to proceed. Seemedreasonable, so I consented; so “contras-ting” we shall go.

I can’t imagine there will be confirma-tion that all is indeed well and what theoncologist initially feared was troubletwo months ago will be even less of aconcern than he expressed two weeksago when we last met and discussed thefindings of this most recent scan. Butwhat do I know? Certainly it’s possible.I’m living proof of that. Still, this nextscan/result is two months away. Ishouldn’t even be thinking about it now.I should be enjoying the positive findingsof my last scan, not anticipating whatcould possibly be worse with the nextone. But I am.

This is the life, albeit an extremelylucky one, of a “terminal” cancer patient(this one, anyway). I want to live fortoday but it’s hard not to worry abouttomorrow.
