The Connection

For residents put off by the idea of spendingthe majority of their Thanksgiving Thurs-day parked in a kitchen, restaurants in andaround the Lorton and Fairfax Station area

are fine-tuning their menus and giving practices tofit the November holiday.

Corner Cuisine, a catering company on Lorton Sta-tion Boulevard that lets customers prepare their ownmeals, usually changes its menu monthly. Owner

David Christian and his wife Laura Escamilla optednot to change anything for Thanksgiving last year,and said the demand they heard from customers inthe wake caused them to design gourmet family din-ners for the holiday occasion. Standbys like sweetpotatoes and cranberry stuffing and of course tur-key will be paired with some unconventional sidedishes like broccoli cheddar casserole, a two-layeredpumpkin cheesecake and a corn pudding that has aspecial place in Christian’s heart.

“It’s my mom’s recipe. It’s really, really good,” hesaid.

At My Karma Indian Bistro on Lorton Market Street,finding ways to incorporate mashed potatoes andcranberry sauce into the Eastern-heavy menu wassomething of a challenge.

Clifton resident Samuel “Sam”Seipel, 14, loved his vehicles.The ninth grader at Robinson

Secondary School built go-carts and Sam Seipel

worked on the dirt bikes and his all-terrain-vehicle (ATV) with his brother.

According to a post on a social network-ing site, Sam told a history classmate KateAlison how excited he was to go riding overthe weekend, especially since he had addedsome new features to his ATV. But the

teenager’s Sunday afternoon tripended in tragedy.

On Sunday, Nov. 23, Sam wasthrown from his Yamaha Ban-shee, when the ATV hit a metalchain strung across a private roada few miles outside of the Town

of Clifton. An-other Cliftonteenager ridingwith him triedto get help butSam died at thescene of the ac-cident, behindthe 7400 blockof DunquinCourt.

“I can tell youhe loved ridinghis bikes, his ATV. … I guess it is safe to sayhe died doing what he loved,” said DiegoBlengio, a Robinson student and Sam’sfriend.

Most described Sam as a kind soul, a per-son who got along with everyone.

Fort Belvoir Reaches OutCreating the Army’s21st century premiermilitary installation.

By Chuck Hagee

The Connection

Community and political leadersfrom throughout Northern Vir-ginia got not only a statisticalbriefing but also a glimpse of

21st Century Fort Belvoir during the annualBase Community Relations Breakfast Nov.20 at the Post’s Community Center.

“This morning’s program will be a littledifferent than what you have been used toat this breakfast in the past. There will bemore focus on the soldiers of this base,” saidFort Belvoir Installation Commander Col.Jerry L. Blixt in opening the 90-minute brief-ing and question/answer session that fo-cused on changes at the base as a result ofthe 2005 Base Realignment and ClosureReport knownas BRAC.

That intro-duction was fol-lowed by ashort videoidentifying sol-diers whoserved underfire in the Iraqand Afghani-stan war zones. It was the first showing ofthe video, which highlighted the valor ofindividual soldiers, such as Spec. MonicaBrown, only the second woman to beawarded the Silver Star since World War II.

The video was followed by six soldiersstationed at Fort Belvoir who related theirexperiences since joining the U.S. Army.Each put his or her military service into theperspective of personal service to the na-tion and the civil community, the one thatnow surrounds Fort Belvoir and the onesthey expect to become part of after theirmilitary enlistments.

As noted by Maj. General Richard Rowe,commanding general, Washington MilitaryDistrict, “Fort Belvoir is much more than amilitary base. It is a community.”

FORT BELVOIR is the largest employer inFairfax County, with 23,000 federal employ-ees and service members, and home to morethan 3,500 family members.

BRAC will add another 19,300 personneltriggering an estimated $4 billion construc-tion and infrastructure building boom.

“It’s not just BRAC that is moving the postinto the forefront of the military’s installa-tion framework but other defense-relatedexpansion as well,” said Blixt. It is thingssuch as the 450-person Warrior TransitionUnit, the National Museum of the U.S. Army,and the various infrastructure improve-ments within the base and surroundingcommunities that is transforming it into thenew century’s showpiece.

“We have three basic priorities — forceprotection, personnel and infrastructureimprovement. We want to make you feel

you are on thebest base in theArmy when youvisit here,” saidBlixt.

WITH THATCol. MarkMoffatt, deputyi n s t a l l a t i o ncommander for

BRAC, Fort Belvoir, walked the groupthrough a series of activities now under wayor planned to meet the Sept. 15, 2011 BRACcompletion deadline. “If you think we’vedone a lot so far wait until you come to thisbreakfast next year,” Moffatt said.

“BRAC will bring a net gain of 19,300personnel to Fort Belvoir. This will be inaddition to the present post personnelcomplement of 23,000,” he said.

New personnel will be located at the mainpost, 3,400; Engineering Proving Grounds(EPG) in the Springfield area, 8,500, thenew home of the National Geospatial-Intel-ligence Agency; and at the Mark Center inAlexandria, 6,400, the new home of a com-posite of agencies known as The Washing-ton Headquarters Services and BRAC 133.

Another 1,000 personnel will be relocatedto Rivanna Station, an existing appendageof Fort Belvoir just north of Charlottesville,Va. The latter group is composed of DefenseIntelligence Agency personnel and intelli-gence analysis functions from the NationalCapital Region and Bolling Air Force Base.

As a result of BRAC, 2,140 personnel areleaving Fort Belvoir. The majority of thatgroup, 1,440 personnel of the Army Mate-riel Command, were transferred to Belvoirfollowing the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 fromwhat is now known as Victory Center onEisenhower Avenue in Alexandria. They willbe relocated to Red Stone Arsenal in Ala-bama. The other 700 are spread over fouradditional agencies, according to Moffatt.

Addressing the new $1.77 billion NGAfacility, now rising at the EPG, Moffatt said,“This facility is moving at a very fast pace.”Building construction is now 8 percent com-plete.

The other main post facility “moving at avery fast pace” is the new DeWitt ArmyCommunity Hospital. This expanded 120-bed facility is scheduled for completion inAugust 2010. The first patients are expectedin April 2011, according to Moffatt.

Beyond BRACIn addition to the BRAC projects, ap-

proximately 30 to 40 other projects areunder way at Fort Belvoir that relate tobase improvements as well as projectsthat directly impact the surrounding com-munities. Some of the latter include:

❖ A new state-of-the-art EmergencyService Center with fire and police assetsto support NGA, main post, and mutualassistance regional agreements.

❖ Construction of the Woodlawn Roadreplacement artery known as MulliganRoad to connect Route 1 and TelegraphRoad.

❖ Gunston Road, the major artery onpost, will be expanded to four lanes, in-cluding the expansion of the bridge overRoute 1, with the potential of acceptingfuture widening of Route 1.

❖ Pohick Road, the post’s main arteryfor visitors and employees, will be ex-panded to four lanes from Route 1 toGunston Road. Pohick Road will be initialproject followed by improvements toBelvoir Road, according to Moffatt.

❖ Construction of a new 37,000-square-foot state-of-the-art childdevelopment/education center for 338children of service members and eligiblefederal employees.

❖ A new, fully equipped fire stationthat will support the main post and FortBelvoir regional mutual aid agreements.

In total, an expenditure of approxi-mately $80 million is forecast for baseinfrastructure improvements. Theseprojects encompass not only transporta-tion arteries but also water and sewerlines and upgrades to electrical facilitiesand lines.

How would you like state ofthe art LASER dentistrywithout drills or needles?

What would you say if you could have your fillings placed painlessly without drills or needles,with laser precision and comfort? You’d probably say, “Where do I sign up?” Well, now you canwith a revolutionary new laser we call the Water Laser. You may have seen it on TV lately.

This new Waterlase® is a breakthrough in comfortable dentistry. The laser sprays a computer-controlled spray of air, water and laser energy at the decay in the tooth. The laser energy isabsorbed by the water and the energized microscopic water droplets are what actually removethe tooth decay. Rarely is a shot necessary to numb the patient. Since no heat is generatedfrom the laser the Waterlase® is very safe to use on everyone.

What are the benefits of Waterlase® dentistry?� Patient Comfort

Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of thetraditional dental drill. Since cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) with theWaterlase® does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be per-formed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips! The Waterlase® allows us to prepare teeth with less trauma which results in significantly lesstooth sensitivity after new fillings. Additionally, using the Waterlase® for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain,swelling and the need for pain medication in many cases. That means a new level of comfortand satisfaction for your entire family.

� SterilizationThe laser sterilizes the tooth as it removes decay. This is very important. Because of bacterial

contamination, many of you have had old fillings replaced with either new fillings, or in manycases, with crowns--and sometimes even root canals!! The reoccurrence of decay under fillingsis a primary reason so many root canals are needed. Since this new laser sterilizes the tooth asit removes decay, and since many dentists now use ‘bonded’ filling materials enriched withfluoride, the chances of ever having recurrent decay under that new filling are much lower.

� Great for TeenagersThe Waterlase® is especially great for teenagers. Sure, if the dentist is very good, shots

should not really be painful. But KNOWING you’re getting a shot is psychologically painfuleven if you can’t feel the needle--especially for teenagers. By not getting a shot, not feeling thevibration of the drill, and by not hearing the loud drill, kids never become afraid of the den-tist, so they don’t grow up to be adults afraid of the dentist.

By incorporating laser technology into our dental practice, we are changing dentistry. It isno longer yesterday’s world of painful shots, large silver mercury fillings, and fearful patients.Lasers have improved the lives of patients and their dentists.

Technology is something that makes life better. Better in this case is better clinical results,improved patient comfort, less use of anesthesia and antibiotics. We are proud to be one of the first dentists in Fairfax County to offer this revolutionary tech-nology. Since August 2003, Dr. Fox has completed over 3,000 laser fillings with no needle/nopain/no numbness. If you’ve been putting off going to the dentist because you were nervousabout the drill and needle, you don’t have to put it off any longer!

“It’s very hard to combine the turkey with the curry, you know?”joked owner and manager Subhash Gavri.

Still, that didn’t stop My Karma from participating in the season. OnThanksgiving Day customers can stop by for a complimentary turkeysalad. He said if last Thanksgiving was any indication, foot traffic atMy Karma will be heavy and multicultural.

“I thought last year when we opened and [did the same thing] thatwe would get a more ethnic crowd,” said Gavri. “But we were sur-prised that we had a lot of Americans and other groups.”

Jamison Clark, executive chef at Fireside Grill on Lorton Station Bou-levard, said the restaurant is offering a full Thanksgiving buffet thisyear. Side dishes like fettuccini with lobster cream sauce, honey glazedhams and organic salads will be available, along with turkey and tur-key breast. Clark, who described himself as “a southern gentlemen”from North Carolina, said the sweet potatoes and stuffing were twospecialties he was looking forward to churning out Thursday, Nov. 27.

“I’m going to bake sweet potatoes with honey and cinnamon andthen southern style homemade stuffing from my grandmother,” saidClark. “The trick to it is a little sage and lots of butter.”

A DESSERT BAR with Thanksgiving themed treats like sweet potato,apple and peach pies will be available, as well as a pizza bar for chil-dren.

Mimi Clark of Fairfax Station runs Veggie Gourmet, which offers veg-etarian and vegan-themed cooking classes for those who eschew poul-try. For her, Thanksgiving is “an olfactory holiday.”

“It’s all about the smells because food is a memory trigger,” said Clark.“If you use enough sage and spices, you’ll conjure up the smells of yourmother’s kitchen.”

Every year, she offers a class for those looking for some vegetarianand vegan dishes to bring to the dinner table. At this year’s class onNov. 16, Clark taught her students how to make buttercup bisques, fat-free mushroom gravy and organic “soy-cotash,” which substitutesedamame for lima beans and succotash. The centerpiece of this veganmeal is a seitan stuffed tofu roast, baked with a maple glaze. A recipefor dairy-free pumpkin cheesecake rounds out the meat-less menu.

Clark said the goal was to make something that people would “wantto bring to their family dinner, but don’t want Aunt Sadie to raise aneyebrow.”

work ethic. You would be lucky to get grown ups that did such agood job [on landscaping],” said Kinter.

SAM was also known for being fearless. He had already had one acci-dent and broken his jaw while riding his ATV last year. But Sam wasundeterred and excited to get back on the vehicle even after the inci-dent.

“He never worried about what might happen to him. … I tried to tellhim what he was doing was dangerous and that he should trying some-thing else,” said Blengio.

Linton said Sam’s family knew that riding the ATV could be risky, butSam loved the vehicle so much that they did not want to take it awayfrom him.

“He and his brother were very gifted when it came to mechanicalthings. … He was just a very special boy,” said Linton.

VISTING HOURS and a service for Sam will be Friday, Nov. 28., atEverly Funeral Home, 10565 Main St. Fairfax. Sam’s family will acceptvisitors between 2-4 p.m. and the funeral will be 4-5 p.m.

The Seipel family is asking for financial help to meet Sam’s funeralcosts. Those interested in making a donation should make checks pay-able to John Seipel and drop it off at the home of Tom Peterson at7150 Main St. in Clifton.

Kinter is also coordinating meals for Sam’s family. Those interestedin participating in this effort should contact her at via e-mail [email protected] on her cell phone at 703-929-0334.

By Derek B. Johnson

The Connection

At the Adat Reyim synagogue on WestburyOaks Court in Springfield, “peace” is theword of the week. Starting Friday, Nov.21, the congregation teamed up with

Burke Presbyterian Church, St. Mary of SorrowsChurch and a host of other interfaith organizationsand charities for a week’s worthof events culminating at an inter-faith Thanksgiving dinner Wednes-day, Nov. 26, at 7:30 p.m., at St.Mary of Sorrows church onSideburn Road.

“We made this a week of peacebecause we’re committed to socialaction here in our community,”said Eileen Kugler, former presi-dent at Adat Reyim.

The congregants of Adat Reyimhosted the first two events of theweek: a peace Shabbat service onFriday, Nov. 21 featuring musicand readings about peace and aninterfaith concert Saturday, Nov.22 featuring folk singer and Chicago-David Roth. Be-fore Roth took the stage, a band consisting of sing-ers and musicians from Adat Reyim, Burke Presbyte-rian Church, St. Mary of Sorrows Church and TheRumi Forum, a Washington D.C.-based Islamic in-terfaith organization, joined together to warm up thecrowd.

Dannie Halle, president of Adat Reyim, said theconcept behind the week came from the Jewish ex-pression “Shavua Tov,” which means “a good week,a week of peace.”

“We’re coming together with different congrega-

tions to build peace and bring fellowship,” said Halle.Roth used a mixture of self-deprecating humor,

storytelling and folk singing to entertain the crowdof approximately 150. From songs about intergalac-tic space, singing the national anthem at a ChicagoBulls game and what he called “easy listening pro-test songs” or “heavy mental,” Roth said he drew in-spiration from every day thoughts and events.

“Whatever catches my imagination, and that canbe different for everybody. I keep my eyes open inthe world,” said Roth.

He said the humor he employs during his concertsacts as a doorway between him and an audience.

“It invites them into my world. Humor is an invi-tation to open a dialogue,” said Roth.

On Sunday, Nov. 23 membersof the four separate interfaithorganizations participated alongwith 20 other churches, templesand charities in a sponsoredhunger walk. Residents solicitedflat donation fees from sponsorsbefore trekking four miles fromLiving Savior Lutheran Churchon Ox Road in Fairfax Station toFairfax Presbyterian Church onMain Street in Fairfax. Threequarters of the money raised atthe walk went to Church WorldService, an international charitydedicated to fighting povertyand hunger. The rest went to

Springfield-based charity Ecumenical CommunitiesHelping Others (ECHO). ECHO also conducted fooddrive during the David Roth concert.

Over 40 members of Adat Reyim participated inthe walk. Burke Presbyterian Church had 25-30 mem-bers according to Elizabeth Braxton, the senior pas-tor. “There’s a statement that says ‘doctrine dividesbut mission unites,’” said Braxton.

The interfaith Thanksgiving service will take placeWednesday, Nov. 26, 7:30 p.m. at St. Mary’s of Sor-rows Catholic Church, 5222 Sideburn Road, Fairfaxand is open to people of all faiths.

“Long lines weren’t the onlyproblem at this location. Parkingwas an issue, not only for voters,but also for anyone needing toreach the police or my staff. Istopped counting the number ofnear misses as voters jockeyed for

parking spaces,” McKaysaid.

“It is imperative thatvoting locations be ableto handle expectedturnouts — and that

was certainly not the case at theFranconia Governmental Center,”McKay said, pointing out a vari-ety of problems from establishingthe validity of each voter to lackof adequate telephone lines to lackof personnel in the registrar’s of-fice.

To improve the process, thethree supervisors requested thatthe “General Registrar and Elec-toral Board review the absentee-in-person voting experience” andreport back to the Board of Super-visors with suggestions on how toprevent such gridlock in futureelections.

BRYC Gives Girls a Reason To Cheer

“It’s getting me preparedfor high school cheer.”

— Mackenzie Kalnitzky

Braddock Road Youth Club offers alternativeoption with recreational cheerleading.

A group of Braddock Road Youth Club cheerleaders listen to instructionfrom staff members at Infinity Cheerleading. The girls will compete fivetimes this season.

Dwight Hunt, left, started the Braddock Road Youth Club wintercheerleading program this year with the hope of providing a fun, afford-able alternative to more expensive all-star programs.

The Connection

In the summer of 2007, Dwight Huntand his family moved from New Jer-sey to Fairfax County. With a recre-ational cheerleading program avail-

able back home, aspiring cheerleaders fromthe New Jersey town of Rockaway were ableto experience the sport at a relatively smallcost.

When the family arrived here, Hunt’sdaughter had missed the tryouts for localall-star teams but was able to participate inthe Braddock Road Youth Club’s fall season.However, a local winter program wasn’tavailable. Twice a week, the Hunts had todrive their daughter to Chantilly to partici-pate with the Chantilly Youth Association’sCheer Select squad.

This experience prompted Hunt to starthis own recreational cheerleading program,branching off from the BRYC footballcheerleading team. The new group provides

a recreational-yet-competitive atmosphereand costs approximately $565 per year.

“In New Jersey, we had recreational cheerthrough our county recreation department,”said Hunt, who’s a lieutenant colonel in theU.S. Army. “I wanted to provide that sameopportunity to the Braddock Road YouthClub cheerleaders. I wanted to provide themwith an opportunity to explore what thatcommitment level is in regards to time, dis-cipline and fitness.”

The BRYC winter program runs from No-vember to March, and most of the girls in-volved have cheered for some sort of foot-ball cheerleading organization. Girls arebetween 10 and 16 and live within theRobinson, Lake Braddock, Woodson, WestSpringfield and Fairfax high school pyra-mids.

One of the biggest obstacles Hunt initiallyfaced was finding a dedicated practice fa-cility, but Hunt’s team started practice forthe first time this week, working out at In-finity Cheerleading in Falls Church. Con-

cerned about the purchases of cheerleadingand tumbling equipment, Hunt contactedInfinity owner Brad Palmer. It was a matchmade in heaven. Infinity had a client whowanted to lease gym space, and BRYC hasa first-class training facility and instructors.

“The coaches help explain what you haveto do, and they help explain what your er-rors are and they help you get it right,” saidMarisol Heisley, 11.“I’m really bad atcart wheels andround-offs, and theyhelped me withthose. But I’m get-ting better. I’m pro-gressing.”

The BRYC team will compete five timesthis winter season, traveling as far north asBaltimore and as far south asFredericksburg. Hunt has tried to limit thetravel time to an hour or so from home, andconsequently, has limited parents’ expenses.

To get the word out, Hunt spoke at sev-eral high schools to recruit potential mem-bers and spoke with BRYC footballcheerleading commissioner Kim Metzger,who helped Hunt get the program off the

ground and has even allowed the wintersquad to rent the fall squad’s uniforms.

Skill ranges vary on Hunt’s team. Somegirls are using the experience to determinewhether or not they like and will stick withcompetitive cheerleading, while others havedecided to use the BRYC experience as aspringboard to a high school varsity team.

“My sister was a cheerleader in highschool, so I was in-fluenced a lot be-cause of her, and Itried it and I lovedit,” said MackenzieKalnitzky, 13, whowants to cheer at

W.T. Woodson this fall. “I like the aspect ofworking on a team, and I think it’s gettingme prepared for high school cheer.”

“I thought it was better than wintercheerleading [at Robinson] because I’ll getmore experience tumbling-wise and moretraining,” said Tess Tedrick, 16, who cheeredfor the Robinson freshman team this pastseason. “They started working on backhandsprings and round-off backhand springs,which is a requirement for varsity atRobinson.”

Danner DestroysMason Records

At George Mason’s Patriot Invitationalover the weekend, Lake Braddock gradu-ate Ashley Danner continued her assault onthe school’s swimming record books as afreshman. Having already set school records

in 100- and 200-meter breaststroke events,along with the 200 individual medley,Danner set a meet record in the 50 freestylewith her time of 23.09 seconds on the open-ing day of completion on Friday, Nov. 21.She also swam on the first-place 400-med-ley team, whose time of 3:46.35 set school,pool, meet and Colonial Athletic Associa-tion records.

On Saturday, Danner set school, pool,meet and CAA marks with 400 IM time of4:15.65, while later helping set a new meetrecord as a part of the 200 medley relayteam and swimming a meet record-break-ing opening leg (1:50.59) on the first-place

800 freestyle relay team.On the meet’s final day, Danner

claimed first place in the 100 freestylewith a time of 50.69, another meetrecord, and later improved upon thattime while swimming the opening legof the 400 freestyle relay, which finishedfirst with a time of 3:29.45. Other no-tables included Mason junior RyanMetzker, a Lake Braddock diver who fin-ished first in the 3-meter diving eventwith a score of 300.05. Robinson gradu-ate Claire Weems won the 200 freestyle(1:51.94) and joined Danner on the 400freestyle relay team.

Opinion

Shop Locally Local shops help define community,and this year, they need support.

Editorials

The economic situation is daunting,and it’s probably true that mostfamilies, even families who feel fi-nancially secure, will be more fru-

gal in this holiday season than in the past.But we’re pretty sure that almost all of us

will be doing some significant holiday shop-ping in the next month. While you’re at it, besure to spend a portion of your shopping dol-lars close to home.

One way to be sure holiday shopping comeswith some holiday spirit is to do a portion ofthe shopping in some of the area’s locallyowned stores. There is special holiday ambi-

ance available by shopping in the heart of atown that is decked out for the season.

Small retail shops are part of what definesany community. Their liveli-hood depends on the livabil-ity and quality of the neigh-borhoods around them. Asmall business owner pays at-

tention to every detail in his or her business ina way that no chain can.

FREQUENTLY, it is the small retail personwho is active in fund raising for local chari-ties, for fire and rescue service, for local schools

and in organizing holiday events.Local retail stores, mom-and-pop stores, face

some of the toughest challenges imaginableright now. The costs of being in business havegrown tremendously while revenues are not.

Competition from Big Box stores, expandedshopping malls and the Internet make the holi-day shopping season all the more importantto locally-owned retailers.

Everyone will do some of their shopping atthe mall. In this area, almost everyone will dosome shopping via the Internet.

But local shoppers should be sure to savesome shopping time and dollars for local stores.

Give Locally Charities seeing unprecedented demandfrom struggling families for food, other help.

Putting food on the table for the family.It’s such a basic activity and most of usare lucky enough to make choices of

what we’ll buy at the grocery store, whetherthis is a carry-out night or an eat-out night oneor more days a week.

Meanwhile local charities and food banks arefinding it hard to gather enough food to keepup with the demand from people who are sud-denly unable to afford enough food to put onthe table for their families.

Housing costs, the foreclosure crisis, spikingenergy and food costs over the past year andother economic woes have put a tremendousstrain on working poor families in NorthernVirginia.

Included in The Connection over the past fewweeks and in coming weeks are stories and list-ings of local organizations that help local fami-lies in need and especially nonprofit groupsthat provide help to families during the holi-day season. These organizations report thatwhile demand is up dramatically, contributionsare down. They need your help to respond toincreasingly needy families.

Here is a partial listing of local organizationsthat help the needy, every one is facing intenseand increasing demand for services. Read moreat www.ConnectionNewspapers.com.

Election DayA SuccessTo the Editor:

There will be many memorableimages from election 2008, butperhaps none is more hearteningthan that of Americans voting instaggering numbers at the polls.It is an affirmation that our democ-racy is alive and well. Voters de-serve to be congratulated for theirdeep commitment to voting andfor their patience and persever-ance. They showed real dedicationby voting early, standing in longlines when necessary and makingsure their voices were heard.

In Fairfax County, 78.7 percentof the 665,674 registered votersvoted for president/vice president.Election Day went smoothly, andafter the early morning rush, therewas little waiting to vote at mostprecincts.

Voters weregreeted with the op-tion of using the “old”WinVote computer or

the new optical scanning paperballot. The paper ballot optionsped up voting and seemed to bewell received by those who choseto use it.

Democracy got a big boost thiselection with such enthusiastic

participation from voters, espe-cially younger voters ages 18-29,but there is always more to bedone to make it work well for allAmericans. The challenges we facewill require our continued partici-pation in this democratic process.The League of Women Voters ofthe Fairfax Area works year-roundto inform our community aboutcandidates and advocate on issuesthat affect our daily lives. We wereimmensely gratified to see somany people engaged in the po-litical process this year and wereproud to be a part of the processin various ways such as produc-ing our Voters Guide and register-

ing voters.As president of the Fairfax Area

League of Women Voters, I inviteothers in the community to main-tain their commitment to civicimprovement by joining theLeague and helping us continuethe good work. Together we cankeep our community strong,healthy, and vibrant. For more in-formation, call 703-658-9150 orgo to our Web site, www.lwv-fairfax.org.

Senior point guard Dominic Morra,a four-year starter for LakeBraddock’s boys basketball team,will lead the Bruins’ offense thisseason. He averaged 16 points pergame a year ago.

By Jason Mackey

The Connection

As a Latin teacher at LakeBraddock Secondary School,boys basketball coach BrianMetress employs all sorts of

words and phrases that he leaves on thedaily practice itinerary to confuse his play-ers.

Metress and Co. either wouldn’t divulgeor couldn’t recollect a specific word orphrase but nonetheless confirmed they ex-ist.

Regardless, it’s a sound, not even a wordthat will mean the most for the Bruins thiswinter.

“We’re going to have to play this year witha little ‘oomph’ to us,” Metress said. “We’regoing to have to manufacture some offensewith our defense, and if we do that, I thinkthat’ll be something that can separate usfrom everybody else.”

“Oomph is that extra bit when [the op-ponent] is tired and we’re not,” said seniorpoint guard Dominic Morra, a four-yearstarter who averaged 16 points per gamelast season. “We just take over the gamewith that extra little bit, that extra run atthe end of the game.”

Under the direction of Metress, who’s inhis eighth year of work at the school, LakeBraddock doesn’t boast a player taller than6-foot-3 and will look to rely on its speedto make a difference.

METRESS HOPES to play an aggressivegame on defense, using turnovers and ill-advised passes to facilitate his team’s of-fense. A full-court press will be regularlyemployed and it’s a strategy that requires alot of running, something that becomes dif-ficult at the end of a game.

“We’re not going to get a steal every time,but if we rattle the other team’s point guardenough to where he’s making mistakes andhe’s turning the ball over, that’ll turn intoabout 10 to 15 easy points per game,” saidjunior Patch McLucas.

“We’ve been working out and condition-ing, and in practice we’re always running,”said McLucas said, a 5-foot-4 defensive spe-cialist who will be counted upon to deflector intercept inbound pass after inboundpass. “We’re probably in the best shapewe’ve ever been in, so that will help a lot.”

Ironically, Lake Braddock’s season endedlast winter with the exact opposite ap-proach. In the Patriot District final againstT.C. Williams, Metress employed a ramped-down, stalling offense that looked more likea defense than anything did.

The goal was to limit the Titans’ posses-sions and to create one-on-one matchups

that benefited Lake Braddock. At one point,Hobbs Petros, who’s now at the U.S. NavalAcademy, held the ball under his arm forfour minutes. T.C. Williams ultimatelypulled out a 26-20 win and again toppedthe Bruins in the Northern Region semifi-nals at George Mason’s Patriot Center.

THE INNOVATIVE game plan, althoughLake Braddock never won with it, provedthat Metress, who has been a head coachfor 18 years in the Northern Region follow-ing a 10-year career at Hayfield, can andwill do anything to win.

“You’ve got to be the team that’s trying tomake things happen,” said Metress, whoseteam finished 17-9 overall, 8-6 in the Pa-triot District last season. “In our league, ifyou’re not a team that dictates the tempoof what’s going on, you’re going to get dic-tated to. There’s just too much ability.”

In addition to Morra and McLucas, seniorsJared Watson and Art Sinthorntham shouldprovide some much-needed leadershipalong with junior Ryan Curtis. Look forMorra to assume the early-season role ofscorer, at least until his teammates get ac-climated to playing extensively at the var-sity level.

A neighborhood rivalry matchup atRobinson on Dec. 5 will kick off the Bruins’schedule and they begin district play witha road trip to West Potomac on Dec. 16.

If Lake Braddock’s defense-to-offense for-mula works and Morra can fill up the scoresheet until a younger cast of stars feels com-fortable enough to contribute, LakeBraddock could be expecting another tripdeep into the region tournament.

“We’re hoping to get down the court quickfor transition buckets,” Morra said. “We’vebeen training this season for the push atthe end of the game that will keep up sepa-rated from the other teams.”
