G rowing up inHerndon, A.J. Smithwent to see plenty ofshows at Jammin’Java in Vienna. On Sunday, Aug.4, the singer-songwriter went toanother show at the venue, butthis time he was the headliner.

“I remember going to see CrashBoom Bang at Jammin’ Java whenI was a freshman in high school,and went to a lot of shows afterthat,” he said. “It’s always excit-ing to come back, but it’s reallyexciting to be able to take the stageat Jammin’ Java.”

Smith, a senior at NYU, lastplayed in Northern Virginia in July2012, when his band performedat Café Montmartre at Lake Anne.Since then, Smith has revampedhis band, adding a keyboardist andbackup vocalist, and honed hisskills even further.

“I think I’ve evolved a lot overthe last year, I’m focusing much

more on good arrangements, andtrying to make each song some-thing special,” he said. “I’m tryingto make my music more than justa rock band playing in a café.”

Smith has had some help in hisdevelopment. He has been work-ing with Glenn Frey, a foundingmember of The Eagles who taughta songwriting class at NYU.

“It was amazing to work withhim, and he really helped me worksome songs out. There was one,‘If Only You,’ that I was just readyto scrap, but he heard it and toldme to keep working, now it’s oneof my favorite ones,” he said.

SMITH was able to open up forThe Eagles when they played abenefit concert at New York’s Bea-con Theatre. Another one of hissongs, “Summertime,” was re-leased in Australia, where itclimbed to number three on theclub charts.

He has also had the chance towork with Roseanne Cash, daugh-ter of Johnny Cash, and songwriterClaude Kelly, who has written forartists such as Britney Spears,Bruno Mars and more.

“Claude gave me some greatcomments on my songs,” Smithsaid. “I played him one of my newsongs, one I knew had some prob-lems, and he picked them out, andalso said he really liked my lyrics.”

Smith has been playing musicsince he was 3, when he beganplaying piano. Before long, hisparents were unable to tell if hewas playing songs from his les-sons, or songs he made up him-self.

Soon, he picked up the violin,playing for a few years with theHerndon Methodist Church’s Cir-cuit Riders band. Recently, the vio-lin has been a part of his musiconce again.

“I figured it was time to bring itback, and I’ve incorporated it intosome new songs,” he said. “Some-times it’s sort of a softer Celtic-style fiddling, other times it’shardcore electric violin. I think itadds a really unique vibe.”

Smith brought out his violin fortwo songs during the Jammin’Java show. On “Battle Hymn,”which was written in the after-math of the shootings at SandyHook Elementary School, heplayed a slow, mournful melody,while “Jeopardy” let him saw awayin a much faster, harder song.

“It was a fantastic show, reallyan exploration of a lot of differentgenres,” said Melissa Herd of FallsChurch. “He did some lighter,

LettersA Thank-you to Congressman

By Rabbi LeibelFajnland

Chabad of Reston-Herndon

The two-day festival ofRosh Hashanah is ob-served on the first andsecond days of the Hebrew monthof Tishrei—This year Sept. 5th and6th.

In Hebrew, Rosh Hashanahmeans, literally, “Head of the Year,”and as its name indicates, it is thebeginning of the Jewish year.

According to Jewish tradition,Rosh Hashana marks the anniver-sary of the creation of Adam andEve, and thus the birthday of man-kind—hence Rosh Hashanah isalso the Day of Judgment for man-kind, a day to highlight the spe-cial relationship between G-d andhumanity.

On Rosh Hashanah, the day ofman’s creation, we recall man’s

merit, the momentouspotential given to him toinfluence the wholeworld in a positive di-rection, and his solemnresponsibility to use hisabilities fully.

Such great abilities were notonly given for personal accom-plishment, but to fulfill man’s mis-sion of perfecting the world.

One who thinks that this sacredmission can be performed by an-other should consider Adam, whowas created individually, teachingus that each person is a “wholeworld.” Moreover, Adam could notdelegate his responsibilities tosomeone else, for there was no oneelse. The same is true of anyperson’s mission in the world: itwas not given to be given away.

When a person concentrates onthe long-term implications of hisactions for himself and the world,

implications connected to the verypurpose of creation—all impedi-ments and obstacles to fulfillingone’s life’s mission are diminishedand eliminated. For of what sig-nificance are impediments in theface of such a responsibility and

privilege?May I wish you and those you

love, in the words of our Jewishtradition, Leshana TovaU’Metuka—a good and sweet year.May it be a year filled with goodhealth, prosperity and meaning.

Rosh Hashanah—The Jewish New YearServices Schedule

In anticipation of the upcoming Jewish New Year, Chabad of Reston-Herndonhas announced its High Holiday Services schedule.

Services for Rosh Hashanah (Sept. 4 –6) and Yom Kippur (Sept. 13-14) willtake place at The Herndon Center, at 376 Elden St., Herndon. All the informa-tion for dates and times, as well as to reserve, can be found atwww.chabadrh.org.

Membership is not required to join. All are welcome, free of charge, regard-less of background or affiliation. According to Jewish tradition, at the New Yearthe “Doors of Heaven” are open; G-d accepts all prayers, from anyone, as suchour doors will be open as well, to our entire community. We do ask for you tomake a reservation however so that seating can be assured.

The services will be user-friendly, making it enjoyable and meaningful forboth the seasoned and the unversed. The services will be traditional, yet with athoroughly contemporary message, interspersed with traditional and modernJewish tunes, English readings and a running commentary led by RabbiFajnland.

In addition, a special children’s program will accompany the adult services.For more information on the above event, call Rabbi Leibel Fajnland at 703-

476-1829 or write to [email protected].

Opinion

It came as somewhat of a relief to havethe candidates for governor in Virginia,Ken Cuccinelli (R) and Terry McAuliffe(D), discuss an actual issue that mattersto many Virginia families this week ata forum on mental health issues.

While press coverage of Cuccinelliand McAuliffe might lead one to be-lieve that they are two similar, ethically chal-lenged candidates, in fact they differ dramati-cally in their views about key issues affectingVirginia.

Money is critical to providing appropriatemental health services. So is access to healthinsurance that covers treatment for mental ill-ness.

Virginia has an opportunity to expand healthcare for poor residents, with the bill paid bythe federal government. Virginians are alreadypaying the taxes that fund the expansion ofMedicaid in other states. This would providecoverage for individuals with income up to$14,856-$30,656 — for a family of four.

Cuccinelli opposes expanding Medicaid;McAuliffe supports it.

Virginia stands to lose more than $9.2 bil-lion in federal funds over the first five years ifit opts out of Medicaid expansion to individu-

als and families with incomes up to 133 per-cent of the poverty level.

It’s a travesty that legislators engaged inpartisan grandstanding could get to decide that

as many as 400,000 Virginians wouldnot get access to health coverage.

About 13 percent of Northern Vir-ginia residents do not have health in-

surance. Fairfax County government, whichsupports the expansion, says it would providecoverage for 25,000 to 30,000 Fairfax Countyresidents.

Beyond GiftsAnd Disclosure

It’s unlikely that there will be a special ses-sion of the General Assembly to address “holes”in Virginia’s disclosure laws. No doubt somechanges to rules on gifts to candidates and of-ficials and their families will emerge from thenext session of the Virginia General Assembly,which begins in January.

Virginia is one of only a few states with nolimits on campaign contributions and littleoversight on campaign spending, setting thestage for abuses beyond gifts, shopping sprees,

etc. Reform should move beyond gifts and intogenuine campaign finance reform.

catchy pop tunes, some heavierstuff and some ballads, all ofwhich sounded great. I liked howhe played a few songs with the fullband, and then went more acous-tic for a while.”

VERSATILITY is the name of thegame for Smith when it comes toperformances. During the show heswitched from keyboard to acous-tic guitar to violin, depending onthe song. His songs ran the gamutfrom hard to soft, fast to slow, softto loud.

The same versatility was on dis-play with the band itself during theshow. For a few songs, his leadguitarist, keyboardist and backupsinger left the stage, leaving himto perform trio-style with drum-mer Tom Jorgenson and bassistLloyd Kikoler.

Darin Zhou of Vienna wasn’t fa-miliar with Smith, but attendsJammin’ Java shows regularly.

“Shows like this are why I cometo random weeknight shows here,because you can find people youotherwise might not hear about,”he said. “I thought the band wasgreat, they had a great presence,

On Saturday, July 27 atthe mid-way point ofthe Reston SwimTeam Association All-Starsmeet, the festivities stoppedand the tone turned solemn asthe recipient of the second an-nual Kim Klarman Award wasannounced.

Peter Mazziotta, Board of Di-rectors member representingNorth Hills began the presen-tation with these remarks: “Lastyear the Reston Swim TeamAssociation lost a very dear andbeloved friend to cancer — KimKlarman. Kim had been presi-dent of RSTA for four years atthe time of her death. She heldmany important positions forRSTA over the course of her 18years of service to our organi-zation, including 13 years asmanager of Autumnwood, 12years as a member of the Boardof Directors and chairing someof our most important commit-tees. She was also very activelyinvolved in other charitable or-ganizations throughout ourcommunity.

“In her memory and to honorher service, RSTA establishedthe Kim Klarman Award. Thisannual award is given to some-one who has served both RSTAand the community as a wholethrough his or her involvementwith both RSTA and any vari-ety of charitable and commu-nity organizations.

The recipient should embodyeverything that Kim stood for— her fighting ‘no holds barredspirit,’ her championing of thekids above all else no matterwhat the odds, her fairness, herability to give of herself no mat-ter the situation and her com-plete and total compassion forothers. Here to present the sec-ond annual Kim Klarman award

is one of Kim’s daughters,Jillie.”

Jillie Klarman continued.“Thanks Pete. Good morning.

Hello swimmers. My momwould be very honored, yet abit embarrassed to witness this.She really didn’t like a lot offan-fare for the things that shedid, but it is very meaningfulto me and my family to havean award bearing my mom’sname and I am honored to behere today to present it. I wouldlike to tell you a little bit aboutthis year’s recipient.

“For over two decades, therecipient has supported RSTAand community swimming.The recipient has served as amanager and board memberfor almost a decade. The recipi-ent has served on numerousRSTA committees that requirecountless hours of time, includ-ing Personnel and All-Starswhile also being an active par-ticipant in scheduling, registra-tion and awards. The recipientloves kids and sports. As aFairfax County teacher for over30 years with a focus on math,she has mentored too manychildren to count — and theyin turn have come to count onher when they have faced aproblem that they may havethought unsolvable. She is anunparalleled motivator, alwaysencouraging no matter howhard the lesson. Her energy isunmatched; her efforts to helpeveryone she touches ‘be thebest that they can’ are an in-spiration to all.

Though the grounds were damp from thenight before, and the skies threatened rainin the morning, that didn’t stop more than100 golfers from taking to the Herndon CentennialGolf Course Thursday, Aug. 1. They were there tosupport the Council for the Arts of Herndon duringthe annual fundraising tournament hosted byJimmy’s Old Town Tavern.

“I got asked to be in a foursome as sort of a lastminute thing, and I’m sure glad I got the day off andcould spend it out here for a good cause,” said TerryNielson of Sterling. “About the only thing I can com-plain about is that I didn’t play that well.”

This was the 16th year Jimmy’s Old Town Tavernhas hosted the tournament to benefit the HerndonArts Council. The council is a nonprofit that supportsarts and artists in all forms across the community.

In addition to the various events, programs andworkshops they host, the council also awards schol-arships to local students every year.

“The arts are a signature part of Herndon, whichis why the Herndon community comes out to some-thing like this to support them year after year,” saidJimmy Cirrito, owner of Jimmy’s.

In addition to the standard 18 holes of golf, vari-ous challenges were strewn across the course forplayers to compete in. One hole featured a hockeynet that golfers tried to score on, another one fea-tured trivia questions.

“We try and keep things interesting, there’s aHarley Davidson motorcycle on the fifth hole, and aSubaru at the seventh hole. Any golfer that gets ahole in one on those holes wins the prize,” Cirritosaid.

The putting green was transformed into somethingthat would more likely be found on a mini-golfcourse, with PVC pipes, levels, paint cans and a toi-let.

“It was a very creative hole with all the construc-tion equipment, but also very challenging,” said JohnO’Malley of Herndon. “Also, the toilet sticks out somuch that you wanted to aim for it, but it turnedout you wanted to bounce the ball off the level justnext to it.”

Those who were able to sink the putt were en-tered into a drawing, where they would win a chanceat $1,000 if they could sink a 50-foot putt. The holewas sponsored by CB’s Professional Services, thecontractor who is building the new addition toJimmy’s, the “Buffalo Wing.”

Mayor Lisa Merkel and Democratic state delegatecandidate Jennifer Boysko could be found through-out the day delivering drinks to golfers on a golf cart,while several other holes also had refreshment sta-tions.

W hen TeriCochrane’s sonwas 18 monthsold, he was diag-nosed with asthma and placed ona variety of medications, includ-ing steroids. Less than two yearslater, doctors warned the Restonmother that he would have fre-quent seizures, would never havea normal childhood and wouldnever grow taller than 5 feet 4inches. When Cochrane’s daugh-ter was born three years later, shealso suffered from health prob-lems, including chronic, severeabdominal pain.

“I went to great doctors in thearea, but there wasn’t an effort tofind out why they were sick,” saidCochrane. “It was always, ‘Givethem this medicine.’”

Cochrane was unwilling to ac-cept constant medication withoutknowing the root cause of herchildren’s illnesses, however. Mak-ing it her life’s mission to find heal-ing alternatives, she began doingher own research to find nutri-tional solutions.

“We found a pediatrician whowas familiar with alternativemedicine and we started our sonon his healing path,” saidCochrane. “The doctor said ‘Don’teat this,’ but he didn’t tell me whatwe could eat. It took a lot of effortand a lot of tears to determine howto feed my family in a differentway. Fifteen years ago, the termgluten-free wasn’t on anyone’s ra-dar.”

Cochrane left her corporate ca-reer after 20 years and returnedto school to study nutrition,herbology and holistic methods ofhealing. She started her own nu-trition and wellness practice calledHealing Paths, Nutrition andWellness Counseling, and has writ-ten a book called “RestorativeRecipes: A Mindful Path to the Es-sential You.”

HER CLIENTS RANGE from in-fants to adults. Cochrane’s ap-proach is tailored for each indi-vidual, focusing on specific healthconcerns and how they can be ad-dressed through improved nutri-tion and natural supplements. Sheaddresses ailments including aller-gies, hormonal imbalances, head-

Wellbeing Madeleine, Teri,Doug and WilliamChochrane. WhenTeri Cochrane’schildren were young,doctors told her theirillnesses wouldprevent them fromhaving normal child-hoods. She creditsimproved nutritionwith their health andwell-being, an issueshe discusses in herbook, “RestorativeRecipes: A MindfulPath to the EssentialYou.”Ph

aches, gastrointestinal upsets,menopausal symptoms, cancerand depression.

“Our counseling includes plansfor insulin insensitivity, irritablebowel syndrome, high blood pres-sure, high cholesterol, cardiovas-cular disease, ADHD (attentiondeficit hyperactivity disorder) andother chronic and autoimmuneconditions,” said Cochrane.

“Food is our medicine,” she con-tinued. “But we’ve lost sight of ourfood. If you’re eating fast food orfood out of a package, you’re noteating real food.”

Nurse Practitioner Laura Evan,who holds a doctorate in nursingpractice and is an assistant profes-sor in the Nurse Practitioner Pro-gram at the George Mason Univer-sity School of Nursing in Fairfax,agrees that eliminating processedfoods can improve health.

“Avoid trans fats,” she said.“These are modified fats found inprocessed foods. Avoid salt. It’s aflavor enhancer [and] encouragesthe body to hold on to water andcan increase [blood pressure] incertain patients.”

Cochrane approaches each cli-ent as an individual. “Each personhas their own signature biochem-istry, and that tells me what theyneed for their body,” saidCochrane. “You have to eliminatecertain foods and then reintroducethem after waiting a period of timebetween each introduction.”

She also offers meal plans andprovides cooking and shoppingguidelines for balanced nutritionthat will meet individual healthneeds. She even takes clients ongrocery store tours to demystifythe new shopping process.

WHILE COCHRANE IS PROUDto have turned her personal re-search into a source to help oth-ers, she is especially proud of thehealth and well-being of her twochildren. Today, her 15-year-olddaughter Madeleine is a balletdancer in an elite professional pro-gram. Her son William is 19 yearsold and is 5-feet-11-inches tall. Heis attending the University of Vir-ginia on a full scholarship.

“He is fit and no longer on medi-cation,” said Cochrane. “He wasprom king, on the varsity swimteam and a junior Olympic cham-pion in karate.”

She’s also grateful for their

health. “I could pay it forward andprovide a service. I went back toschool to gain knowledge to helpother families.”

Effective Tuesday morning Aug. 6, aCentreville resident, Lt. Col. EdwinC. Roessler Jr., became FairfaxCounty’s new chief of police. He was ap-pointed July 30 by the county Board of Su-pervisors.

The position became vacant in October2012, when former Chief Dave Rohrer waspromoted to deputy county executive forpublic safety. Roessler has served as actingpolice chief since March 23, and his newjob culminates a law-enforcement careerspanning 24 years.

“It’s a noble profession, I enjoy it and Ilook forward to being able to serve the menand women of the police department andthe community,” he said. “And what’s reallyexciting is that I’m a member of the com-munity, and it’s an honor to serve my neigh-bors.”

Originally from Brooklyn, N.Y., Roessler,49, actually comes from a family of NewYork City firefighters. But a few uncles werepolice officers and, in high school, he de-cided to study criminal justice and go intolaw enforcement.

Then, after a stint with the New York CityDepartment of Investigation, he and his wifemoved to Virginia for a better lifestyle.While in college, Roessler did an internshipat American University and got a taste ofFairfax County. And earlier, two cousins hadmoved here—one joining the police depart-ment and, the other, the fire department.

So he came to the county, too, and be-came a patrol officer. “Route 28 was onelane each way then, and there were threefarms here when we first moved toCentreville, over 24 years ago,” saidRoessler.

HE AND HIS WIFE, a small-businessowner, have three children. Their oldestdaughter is in college, their youngestdaughter is a high school senior and theirson is starting middle school.

Over the years, Roessler’s held severalhigh-level, management positions. But asfar as he’s concerned, the highlight of hiscareer was being a patrol officer.

“It’s the satisfaction of helping someonein crisis or just lending them a hand whenthey need it,” he explained. “Sometimes,you’re doing something that changes theirlife. Patrol officers are given the latitude,discretion and trust to help the community,and that’s what drew me to the job.”

But throughout every assignment, saidRoessler, “It’s a police family; the people Iwork with, we’re a team. And in everycounty agency, I’ve had great mentors thatallowed me to grow. It’s a leadership styleof always being willing to help each other

out. “You entrust your life to others so youcan get home at the end of the day,” he con-tinued. “It’s also about the working relation-ships you form. And what a terrific com-munity this is—the support we get is athrill.” He said the residents and the countyleadership are the police department’s part-ners in making Fairfax County a safe placeto live, work and play.

Roessler chose the supervision-and-com-mand career path, within the department,and competed for each advancement, in-cluding deputy chief. However, he becameacting chief based on his seniority. He thenapplied for the top job, and the supervisorsand county executive conducted a nationalsearch over some six months.

Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m., Roesslerofficially became chief, and he couldn’t havebeen happier. “Being the chief, I feel like acop on the street again. Being able to serveothers, I feel content. This is a calling, andI’m just proud to be part of a great organi-zation and county. The support from thecommunity—and having terrific staff andvolunteers—makes it fun.”

As a longtime member of thedepartment’s senior management team,Roessler said “several great leaders haveallowed us to develop innovative ideas tomake us a Cadillac, cutting edge, law en-forcement agency. It’s high performance andfine tuned.”

HIS VISION now is for the police to “con-tinue ethical leadership with an engagedcommunity so we can continue to buildupon our ability to fight crime, enhance ourculture of safety and keep pace with urban-ization.” He said the culture of safety in-cludes developing safety protocols regard-ing how the police interact with the com-munity.

As for urbanization, Roessler tied it to the11 new police positions the supervisors ap-proved as of July. Two will be animal con-trol officers and nine will be the founda-tion of a new police station in Tysons Cor-ner. Others will be needed in connectionwith county growth related to projects suchas the Silver Line, rail to Dulles, the Spring-field Mall redevelopment and the revital-ization of Route 1, South County and theReston Town Center.

“So it’ll take a new style of policing,” he

said. “For example, officers will go up a 30-story building or navigate a city-style envi-ronment in pairs.” And when large crowdsflock to places such as Fairfax Corner onthe weekends, said Roessler, “We need topay attention to make sure we have ad-equate staffing to meet future needs. All thiswill happen over decades, but we need tostart planning now.”

“We’ll make five-year strategic plans, in-cluding staffing, budgets and program ob-jectives, and tweak them,” he said. In thecurrent economy, said Roessler, “We’re look-ing at where we can alter our businessmodel, without sacrificing safety, to econo-mize where we can. But as the economyimproves, we’ll be able to do more.”

Looking back on his distinguished career,what he’s proudest of is being a patrol of-ficer. “And it’s important for me to remem-ber that,” he added. “They’re what the com-munity sees every day; they’re the first re-sponders to 911 calls. They’re the face ofthe Fairfax County Police Department andthey’re what makes our reputation.”

Now leading 1,360 sworn officers, 352non-sworn officers, plus a core of volun-teers, Roessler takes his new position seri-ously. He said the toughest part of his jobwill be meeting the challenge of looking outfor the employees’ safety and welfare, in-cluding their pay and benefits, within bud-get constraints.

What will give him the greatest satisfac-tion, he said, is “being able to serve my fel-low employees, volunteers and the commu-nity as a leader. I love Fairfax County. Themotto is ‘A great place to live, work, playand grow old,’ and I’m living all that.”

Roessler’s ResumeWith FCPD

Before Lt. Col. Edwin Roessler became actingand then full-fledged chief of police for FairfaxCounty, he served in every rank as he’s moved upthe ladder. Since 2010, he was deputy chief ofpatrol managing Animal Services, plus crime-fight-ing efforts across eight district stations.

Roessler also organized police emergency re-sponses to a variety of natural disasters and tacticaloperational events. He deployed personnel to Presi-dent Barack Obama’s inauguration in January andmanaged patrol assets committed to solving sev-eral, multijurisdictional crimes. And he directed thePolice Department’s strategic-planning initiatives.

He received his undergraduate degree from Ari-zona State University and his graduate degree fromGeorge Washington University. He also graduatedfrom a variety of professional-development-and-leadership programs.

As a senior commander, Roessler headed theInternal Affairs Bureau and the Criminal JusticeAcademy. He managed the department’s budgetand human resources and led a Patrol Bureau di-vision overseeing the Crime Analysis Unit and theconstruction of the Sully District Station.

He also spearheaded efforts creating the IncidentSupport Services program serving departmentmembers and their families. And he both super-vised and commanded the Civil Disturbance Unit.In addition, Roessler volunteered for assignmentsthat would help increase and improve police ser-vices to the community.

He’s currently a senior advisor to the Interna-tional Association of Chiefs of Police for itsinternational, police-education-and-training pro-gram. As Fairfax County’s chief of police, his annualsalary will be $188,410.
