Pair Pedals for Passion and a PurposeFairfax father, sonto participate in 2010Pan-MassachusettsBike Challenge.

The Connection

Keith and Adam Cromack areprodigal sons of sorts. The fa-ther and son duo, City of Fairfaxresidents by way of Massachu-

setts, are returning to their native land tolend a hand in a tireless battle against amost ominous foe, and are bringing an armyof 5,000 with them to do so.

The Cromacks are participating in the31st annual Pan-Massachusetts Challenge,a two-day, 190-mile charity bike-a-thon thatraises money to support adult and pediat-ric cancer care and research through theBoston-based Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’snationally-known Jimmy Fund. The race,which will take riders from Wellesley, Mass.to Provincetown, Mass., represents not onlya chance for the two to support a cause thatthey care about deeply, but also a time tobond.

“I’m looking forward to it,” said KeithCromack, 52. “The number of people

touched by or impacted by cancer is largerthan you’d ever think, so it gives us a chanceto support the cause, but it’s also an oppor-tunity for my son and I to spend time to-gether on a good challenge.”

The Cromacks moved to the City ofFairfax two years ago, after spending thelast 20-plus years living a half-hour outsideof Boston. Four years ago, Keith Cromack’sdaughter, Elizabeth moved to South Caro-lina to attend Clemson University. Two yearslater, Adam Cromack, 20, was accepted at

Virginia Tech. At the same time, KeithCromack was looking for a new job and wasgrowing tired of the brutal New Englandwinters, so he and his wife decided that theywould follow suit and head south and moveto Fairfax.

“I had moved to New York, Connecticutand other places around New England be-fore, but this was by far the biggest movefor me and my family,” Keith Cromack said.“We basically followed the kids. They movedsouth, so we moved south.”

Upon his arrival in Fairfax, the mother ofhis boss’ wife gave Adam Cromack, who hadbeen a devout swimmer for most of his life,an old Schwinn road bicycle. Not only didhe discover a new hobby, but unbeknownstto him, his path to the Pan-MassachusettsChallenge was paved. His ability quicklyoutgrew the 20-year-old bicycle, and hebought a new bike and began riding asmuch as possible.

This newfound hobby soon became a pas-sion, and as Adam Cromack realized hisskills were advancing rapidly, he began toeye the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge. Thechallenge appealed to him not only as apopular event at his former home, but as away to honor the memory of his grand-mother who died from Mesotheliomabrought on by asbestos exposure nearlythree years ago. Realizing that participat-ing in the event was an opportunity he couldnot pass up, he registered in January andbegan to train in earnest.

“After I got that [Schwinn] bike, I real-ized that biking was something I wanted todo more than just on weekends,” Adam

Academy Students Shine at Animation Festival

Ramez Hashlamon, a Robinson Sec-ondary senior who takes computergraphics at the Fairfax Academy,

won Best of Show in the animation categoryat the third annual Free4All Film and Ani-mation Festival. His winning entry, about acompulsive smoker, was titled, “Tar!”

“I hope I do well,” he said before the startof the event. “I haven’t seen the competi-tion, but I’m excited to see it now for thefirst time.”

The May 20 festival at Fairfax High fea-tured original short films and animationscreated by high-school students fromFairfax, Arlington, Loudoun and Prince Wil-liam counties. Thirty videos and 20 anima-tion pieces were submitted.

Industry professionals judged and se-lected the Best of Show awards. The top 15film and animation pieces were shown atthe festival, and audience members chosethe People’s Choice award winners.

Sponsored by the Fairfax Academy Pro-fessional Graphics Studio program in part-

nership with MHz Networks and the Na-tional Shortie Awards, the festival let stu-dent filmmakers have their work shown andjudged by digital media professionals. Alsoproviding sponsorship, plus support andprizes, were Autodesk, Center for DigitalImaging Arts (CDIA), Interface MediaGroup, Karptoons and Mythic Entertain-ment.

Roxanne Kaylor, Pro Graphics Studio in-structor at the academy, produced and di-rected the event. Pleased with the caliberof the work submitted, she was proud ofher students’ achievements, as well as thestudio’s capabilities.

“We have a motion-capture system to as-sist in capturing real-time motion for 3Dcharacter development,” she explained.“We’re the only high school on the EastCoast with such a system. My students arepresently working on 3D character devel-opment, especially for the gaming indus-try, to incorporate the motion-capture sys-tem into their characters.”

Hashlamon is one of Kaylor’s students,and he got the idea for “Tar!” while attend-ing VCU’s summer art program in Rich-

mond. “There was a woman I saw, over aweek, smoking compulsively, and her im-age was my inspiration for the character inthe film,” he said. “I showed how a monoto-nous, compulsive habit can overtake aperson’s life.”

The character was a 2D animation andthe color film was three minutes long. “It’s

pretty abstract,” said Hashlamon. “My ap-proach is to convey the story with musicand acting, with no dialogue, or as little aspossible.” He said his class at the FairfaxAcademy has “a lot of high-end technologyand helped me get used to professional

Rebels gathered, 553 deep, savoring theirvictory. The final chapter of their story,four years in the making, was being writ-ten into history and was without a doubt,

a gripping, successful tale.Fairfax High School’s 553 seniors graduated Fri-

day, June 19 in a ceremony inside of the school’sgymnasium. While the story mayhave had its ups and downs, all ofits main characters emerged tri-umphant heroes.

“We are here to write the finalchapter in the story of the class of2010, and these last few pagesbring to a close an epic story thatbegan four years ago,” said Prin-cipal David Goldfarb. “All of thecharacters in our story today areheroes, and some had morestruggles than others, but all made it.”

The senior’s sendoff was done in style, with sev-eral area dignitaries, including Sen. Chap Petersen(D-34), Del David Bulova (D-37), School BoardChairman Janice Miller and FCPS Deputy Superin-tendent Dr. Richard Moniuszko, and a capacity crowdof family and friends on hand for the ceremony. Af-ter the presentation of the colors and the nationalanthem, Goldfarb kicked the proceedings off with aspeech, praising the senior class’ resiliency and de-termination and the successes that were products ofthose traits.

“The men and women in front of me see challengesas opportunities and want to make the world a bet-

The seniors throw their caps in the air.

ter place,” Goldfarb said. “Should this group be thecaretakers of my generation, I will be satisfied.”

Senior Class President Joe Singh then introducedGloria Allen, the school’s former acting principal andsenior class administrator who retired at the end ofthe school year, to read a poem. The poem, entitled“Dream Big,” encouraged the matriculating seniorsto seize all challenges and to never lose sight of theirgoals. The school band followed with a rendition of“America the Beautiful,” and senior class treasurerLauren Jones presented the class gift, a large brassstatue of a lion to be mounted by the school’s flag-pole outside.

Honor Graduate Scott Mattocks, chosen by hispeers to address the class, spokeabout how the world was when heand his classmates entered theschool as freshmen four years ago,and how they have changed sincethen. Mattocks boasted about theclass’ academic and on-field glo-ries, and reminisced about the ca-maraderie they all shared. Experi-encing these things, he said, wouldonly lead them on to bigger andbetter things.

“This ceremony is not only a symbol of our successto this point, it’s a sign of what we will accomplish,”Mattocks said. “Wherever the high seas take us, wecan all say we set sail together from this place.”

Before the lengthy presentation of diplomas, Millerand Fairfax City Councilmember Jeffrey Greenfieldhanded out the annual awards given to the best andbrightest of the senior class. The Service Award foroutstanding commitment to community and schoolservice was given to Megan Talbert, drum major forthe school’s marching band.

After the last diploma washanded and out and Goldfarb con-firmed the graduates, the elationcould no longer be contained, andsure enough blue caps and tasselsfilled the air. Though the notionthat this was last time the classwould gather as a whole made theproceedings bittersweet for manygraduates, the sadness had nochance of outweighing the purejoy of completing a major mile-stone.

“It just feels so awesome,” saidRhay Munsayac. “We waited fouryears for this and it’s like a dreamcome true. All that’s left now iscollege.”

EmbezzlementCase Goes toGrand Jury

The criminal case against aPenderbrook man is moving for-ward in the legal system. He is EunTae Lee, 50, of the 12100 block ofWedgeway Court in Fair Oaks, andhe’s accused of embezzling morethan $700,000 from an organiza-tion dedicated to helping theworld’s poor.

According to a March 30 affida-vit written by Deputy CharlesPerinis of the Loudoun CountySheriff’s Office, members of SEEDInternational – a faith-based, non-profit in Sterling – reported onMarch 26 that their former finan-cial officer, Lee, had allegedly em-bezzled “in excess of $700,000”from their organization. They con-tended that Lee reportedly did soby “gaining control of the church’sbank accounts and writing checksfrom these accounts to individualaccounts he’d established in hisown name.”

On April 15, he was chargedwith embezzlement. Lee appearedlast Wednesday, June 16, inLoudoun County General DistrictCourt and, at that time, the caseagainst him was certified to thegrand jury for possible indictment.

equipment.”Around this area, said Hashlamon, “The

film, animation and art scene isn’t as sup-ported as in other areas, so this festival pro-vides people with a unique opportunity toshowcase their work.”

Woodson High junior Nathan Krauss wonsecond place in the video category for hisfilm, “Good Night & Bad Neighbors.” Amember of the Fairfax Academy’s TV pro-duction class, his three-minute movie waslike a comedy skit.

“It’s about a guy getting ready for bed,”said Krauss. “When he goes into his bed-room, his new neighbor’s there, thinking it’shis house and that’s how they meet for thefirst time.”

At the academy, he learned how to useHD cameras, plus professional editingequipment. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said. “Withevery movie I make, I learn more, especiallyhow to set up shots and edit.” Before thefestival started, Krauss said, “I’ve never seena movie of mine on a big screen, and I’mcurious to see what other people think ofit.”

Fairfax High student Jonathan Earley alsotakes TV production at the academy. Hisvideo entry at the festival was a documen-tary on Social Security. Since that topic has

received a great deal of publicity regardingits shortcomings and need for reform, Earley“thought this would give people insightabout it and its problems.”

But, he said, “I mainly did it because mypeers don’t know much about it, and if wedon’t know about it or take action on it, itwon’t be available for us at retirement age.”For his 6-minute film, Earley interviewedand photographed Prof. Mark Meiners ofGeorge Mason University.

“I did it like a news report, telling SocialSecurity’s weaknesses and giving possiblesolutions,” said Earley. “Doing this docu-

mentary helped me learn more about usingmedia-composer software. And being ableto use the HD cameras we have in class al-lowed me to produce the best quality videoI could.” He said many filmmakers don’t geta chance to exhibit their work to the pub-lic, so “having a film festival is a great op-portunity to showcase our creativity.”

Another TV production student, PaigeFord, a Robinson senior, produced a videoon conformity and whether it leads to hap-piness. “It’s through an experimental view,”she said. “There’s no talking, but my friendswho are actors showed their emotions.”

Ford said the experience was “a bunch offun, doing something I enjoy with myfriends, and fixing problems, such as bro-ken glass, rain and traffic, as they came up.I even had to re-tape because the tape wasbad, but I learned how to keep going andnot to use tape, but digital [recording], in-stead.” Regarding the festival, she said, “Allour classmates see our work, so it’s nice tosee how they react to it.”

Woodson senior Lani Furbank created amusic video of a friend’s original song. Hesang and played guitar while another friendplayed drums. The video showed them hav-ing fun at a playground while singing.

“It was a little tricky getting an audiotrack,” said Furbank. “We had a lot of triesto get it exactly right. But once we did, theshooting process was a blast. My friends arehams, so they had a good time doing sillythings.”

Furbank plans to major in broadcast jour-nalism at James Madison University andcalled the festival a chance “to show thecommunity the kind of work academy stu-dents do.”

Woodson Seniors Celebrate End of EraW.T. Woodson High conducts its graduationceremony June 17 at Robinson Secondary.

“It hasn’t really hitme yet.”

— Chad Withington

By Amanda Ranowsky

Connection Newspapers

In the Field House of Robinson Sec-ondary School on June 17, seniorsfrom W.T. Woodson High School cel-ebrated the ending of one era, and

the beginning of another. The Class of 2010is the first to graduate since the school com-pleted its renovation project in November2009.

“Change has been the ever-present themethroughout our time at Woodson,” saidMichelle Strickland, a senior class officer,as she and fellow officer Nkechinyerem Ikowelcomed the students and the guests tothe ceremony. “With the new buildingcomes a new era in Woodson’s history.”

Woodson had more to celebrate than thenew building. Sixty-nine seniors graduatedwith honors, having earned a 4.0 or betterGPA during their time at Woodson. Awardsand scholarships were also presented toseveral graduating seniors. Of the speciallyendowed awards and scholarships, theChristopher Marshall Award went to JohnVecchietti; the J. Tyler Bentley Award toJohn Hale; and the third annual JuliaCampbell Memorial Award and Scholarshipto Lisa Gross and Molly Sablosky. W.T.Woodson presented Service Awards toMichelle Strickland and Joseph Jedlicka, theLeadership Award: Alexander Willard, theFaculty Award to Michael Promisel and Jer-emy Weir, and the School Award toNkechinyerem Iko. Cathy Shelton, calculusteacher and head of the math department,was honored as the PTSO Teacher of theYear.

Senior Michael Promisel, the studentspeaker, delivered a clever charge to theclass. He compared the four years of highschool to chapters in a novel.

“When we began in September 2006, thechapter was only a single page,” he said.He went on to highlight some of the majorevents of the past four years at Woodson.

“Today is the first day of a new chapter,”he said, at the end. “Our lives are like neverending novels, with one exciting chapterafter another.”

The guest speaker was James Brown, hostof the CBS series “The NFL Today.” In hisspeech, he offered the seniors a few “basicfundamentals for success in the game of

life.”“I would like you to view me in the role

of a substitute teacher, to reinforce a lot ofthe basics and fundamentals that [your par-ents and teachers] havebeen telling you year afteryear,” he said.

Brown outlined the needfor students to practicegood communicationskills, dressing for success,promptness, intellectualcuriosity, and interpersonal skills through-out their lives in order to attain success inthe working world. He also emphasizedhaving fun.

“Life can be fun when you are a winnerand doing things the right way,” Brown said.

“Doing things that are morally correct andethically correct will always get you suc-cess where you can have fun,” he said.

“To those who much is given, much is re-quired,” he quoted as hecompleted his speech.“Go chase your dream,and do it well.”

After the ceremony,the newly graduated se-niors were excited forthe future. “It feels

good,” said graduate Chad Withington. “Ithasn’t really hit me yet.”

“It’s a relief [to be finished] because itwas a long four years,” said graduate Mat-thew Patrick. “I’ll miss the friendships madealong the way, but it’s a good feeling.”

Cromack said. “The interest I had in it continued to build and I got anew bike and started mentally preparing myself to ride [in the chal-lenge] and signed up.”

Two weeks after Adam Cromack signed up, his mother, worried abouther son biking for nearly 200 miles by himself in a place far from home.She told Keith Cromack that he should participate as well. KeithCromack said that he was initially wary of the suggestion, as he wasnever an avid biker, but thought back to the dozens of three-day hikeshe and Adam Cromack used to take up New Hampshire’s Mount Wash-ington and realized that the ride would be just another challenge forhim and his son to conquer. He signed up soon thereafter, and withinweeks, found himself pedaling alongside his son on the first of manytraining sessions.

Though Adam Cromack has been training since winter, having pur-chased a piece of equipment that allows the rider to bike in place, heand his father are still getting acclimated to riding outdoors on differ-ent terrain with varying inclines. So, each weekend for the past coupleof months, the two have ridden along the Washington and Old Domin-ion Trail starting at Vienna, increasing the distance they ride each week

by five miles.“We’ve gone 30 miles

on a single ride, but inthe actual challenge, weare going to be doing 80miles a day, so we needto get ready for that,”Adam Cromack said.“We’re doing well, butwe need to do better.”

They know that physical preparation is crucial for the event, but theCromacks are spending nearly as much time and energy trying to meettheir fund-raising goals for the challenge. Adam and Keith Cromackeach pledged $4,000 and have until October to raise it in full. Ridersare required to give credit card information when registering, so if thepledge total is not reached by the deadline, the remaining amount ischarged to the card. With this added motivation, the Cromacks havebeen combing their familial, collegial and social networks for dona-tions, and Adam Cromack, who is working at a pool for the summer, isgiving swim lessons in exchange for donations.

Though they have both already raised slightly more than $3,000,they are closing in on the homestretch for donations, as event organiz-ers informed the pair that money would be much more difficult tocome by after the event is over. This pressure to raise money, combinedwith the physical toll of grueling training sessions would seem to betoo much for the average person, but to clear these hurdles, the duowill do what they do best: work together.

“It’s great to have someone with you through this entire process,”Adam Cromack said. “It makes it a lot easier to have someone there formental and physical support along the way, and with that person beingmy dad, it’s someone I can rely on and trust. It’s a great thing for us tobe doing this together.”

Man Charged with AbductionCity of Fairfax Police have charged a 47-year-old Alexandria man

with abduction following an incident on Wednesday, June 16. He isCharles Robert Barbour of the 900 block of Wolfe St.

That day, around 7:15 a.m., officers responded to the parking lot ofthe 7-Eleven store at 10911 Main St. for a report of a man attemptingto abduct a child. The mother of a 7-year-old boy told officers thatBarbour allegedly approached her son while he was standing besidethe family’s vehicle, grabbed the child’s hand and tried to take himaway.

But the mother held onto him, while calling out for help, and a womannearby who witnessed what was happening came to her aid. Together,say police, they were able to wrest control of the boy from the suspectand get him back into the vehicle. He did not sustain any apparentphysical injury.

Responding officers saw Barbour in the parking lot and immediatelytook him into custody. He was taken to the Adult Detention Center andheld without bond, pending his July 13 court date.

Woodon’s Reilly, LakeBraddock’s Johnsonconnect for pair oftouchdowns

By Jon Roetman

The Connection

Every athlete competing in the2010 Region Rumble All-StarFootball Game on June 19 atSouth County Secondary School

had a chance to prove his abilities. But asthe battle between the Northern and North-west Regions went into overtime, LakeBraddock wide receiver said enough isenough.

“Me and [Hayfield’s] Antoine [McCallum]had been splitting time the whole game andI was getting a little bitter about it,” Johnsonsaid. “I told them, ‘Look, put me in in over-time, let me run the corner [route] and I’mgoing to score.’”

The Northern Region coaching staff —Johnson’s coaches from Lake Braddock —listened to the all-state wideout and let himrun to the corner. The result: a 10-yardstrike from quarterback Connor Reilly(Woodson) and the game-winning touch-down. After the Northwest Region kicked afield goal on the opening possession of thefirst overtime period, Reilly on first downfound a diving Johnson for a 20-17 victory.

Reilly and Johnson were Patriot Districtopponents during the season, with Woodsonand Lake Braddock splitting their two meet-ings. But on this night, the two formed apass-and-catch combo that produced a pairof touchdowns — the second leading to acelebratory Northern Region dogpile nearthe corner of the end zone.

“We were big rivals during the season,”Johnson said, “but going into the overtime,

first down, I told him, ‘I’m going to get themon this corner [route] because that was mymoney all season long.’ … He threw a greatpass and I just came down with it.”

Reilly earned team offensive MVP hon-ors, completing 21 of 43 passes for 231yards and three touchdowns. The TempleUniversity-bound signal caller said he knewimmediately his throw to the corner was agame-winner.

“As soon as the safety turned his back,”

Reilly said, “it was wide open.”Johnson caught three passes for 35 yards

and two touchdowns. His first score — a15-yard reception — gave the North a 14-6lead with 11:53 remaining in the fourthquarter.

Woodson linebackers Josh Hogan, an all-state selection, and James Johnson sawplaying time for the Northern Region. Cava-lier defensive backs Colin Dempsey andCharles Basil and running back/linebackerBertrand Ngampa were on the roster.

Fairfax lineman Richard Lowe also sawthe field for the North.

The game was a defensive struggle for themost part as the teams combined for seventurnovers. Each team finished with less than40 yards on the ground, due in part to play-ers having only one week to practice withone another. Defenses were hitting hard andemotions were running hot.

“There was a lot of chatter between thetwo sides,” North starting left tackle MattCunningham (West Potomac) said. “Wewere definitely talking to each other. It wasgetting pretty intense.”

The Northern Region took a 7-0 leadwhen Reilly connected with Edison widereceiver Christian Washington for a 21-yardtouchdown with 3:24 to play in the firsthalf. The Northwest Region responded onits ensuing possession with an eight-play,67-yard drive that used only 2 minutes and20 seconds. Quarterback Bo Revell (Battle-field) ended the march with a 3-yard touch-down keeper, but the Northwest continued

to trail as Woodson’s Johnson blocked theextra point.

The Northern Region extended its leadto 14-6 when Reilly found Johnson in theend zone with 11:53 to play in the fourthquarter. The Northwest Region drove deepinto North territory minutes later, but wasturned away when North cornerbackKentdrick Barnes (T.C. Williams) tackledreceiver Christian Ocasto (Potomac) at the5 on fourth-and-goal.

A 21-YARD PUNT on the North’s ensuingpossession set up the Northwest at the North32-yard line. After Revell was sacked by theNorth’s Andrew Embree (Madison) on firstdown, Revell launched a 39-yard touch-down pass to Jared Johnson (Forest Park)with 6:54 remaining in the fourth. ThomasKeith (Osbourn) lined up at quarterbackand scored on a keeper during the ensuingtwo-point conversion attempt to tie thegame at 14.

Yorktown safety C.J. Bartholomew earnedteam defensive MVP honors, snagging a pairof interceptions. The Northern Region De-fensive Player of the Year also handed kick-ing duties, connecting on a pair of extrapoints.

“When I got out on the field I was like,‘I’m with the best players in the region, I’vegot to prove myself right here,’”Bartholomew said. “Honestly, I just cameout with a sense of emotion where I’ve justgot to be the best player I can be and provemyself in front of all the best players.”

Woodson quarterback Connor Reilly earned team offensive MVP honorsfor the Northern Region in the 2010 Region Rumble All-Star FootballGame on June 19 at South County Secondary School.

Opinion

By Stella Koch

Audubon Naturalist Society

The Chesapeake Clean Water Act, which will guide the pro-tection and restoration of not just the Chesapeake Bay butthe Potomac River and local streams in Northern Virginia,is expected to receive committee vote in the U.S. Senate in

late June.Our streams and the Potomac are the source of our drinking water.

We canoe, fish, and swim in these waters and hike along side them.They also provide sustenance and a home for a myriad number of othercreatures. They are the source of the waters of the Chesapeake.

By setting fair and equitable requirements throughout the Chesa-peake Bay region for clean water in all streams, this bill will requireboth farmers and those living in towns and cities to do their fair share

for clean water.For decades, we have witnessed the degrada-

tion of our local streams by polluted runoff.When rain from storms falls onto concrete

roads, parking lots, and suburban yards, it picks up pollution. Thisrunoff carries fertilizer, pesticides and other nasty pollutants after eachand every storm into our local water. While stormwater managementhas controlled some of the runoff in recent years, it has not kept pacewith the growing impacts of development.

Our communities have spent money and time to improve theirstreams. The counties of Arlington and Fairfax, along with the City ofAlexandria have conducted careful studies of their streams and spentsignificant money and effort to implement stream restoration and pro-tection programs.

But it has not been enough to stem the tide of degradation.We need to increase our efforts. Innovative, more effective stormwater

management must be used. New pollution controls will need to beinstalled in sites that previously had none. Aging stormwater pipesand structures will need to be replaced. The public demands that waste-water from toilets, tubs and sinks in homes and businesses be treatedto a high degree of cleanliness. Equal resources have to be committedto treating stormwater runoff if we are to have clean water in ourstreams, the Potomac and the Chesapeake Bay.

This proposed legislation takes the first step for this new collectiveeffort. It sets attainable goals and requires that both new developmentand redevelopment control stormwater runoff.

The federal government through this legislation will provide $1.5billion to invest in our local communities for stormwater control andother clean water needs.

We need our U.S. Senators, Jim Webb and Mark Warner, to supportthe Chesapeake Clean Water Act, by doing so they will be choosingclean water for the Chesapeake Bay region.

Stella Koch is Virginia Conservation Associate, Audubon Naturalist So-ciety.

Back ChesapeakeBay Clean Water ActSenators Webb and Warner shouldstep up to support water quality.

Sidelined Politics?To the Editor:

Those who listened to Keith Fimian (R) on WTOP’s “ThePolitics Hour” on June 4 may have noticed that Fimian voicedhis support for the repeal of the 17th amendment — a radicalproposition that is being espoused by members of the TeaParty. Many listeners, like myself, were shocked that anybody,let alone a serious candidate, would be willing to support

Opinion

such a regressive change. The 17thAmendment, which allows citizens to votefor their U.S. senators, was a major victoryfor the democratic process. This freedomwas considered so basic and uncontroversialthat it even predates women’s suffrage. Torepeal it would be a leap backward to a timewhen a handful of powerful men could de-cide the direction of the country withoutthe approval of citizens.

On the air, Fimian admitted to not evenknowing why the amendment was passedor when. This should be a red flag to vot-ers. One cannot help but wonder whetherhis other policies are based on a similar lackof knowledge.

For a candidate who claims to cherishsmall government, Fimian certainlyshows no qualms about giving morepower to the legislature, and, worse,doing so by taking it directly out ofthe hands of voters. He does not trustthe citizens of his state to choose their ownrepresentatives. Clearly, this is not an issueof party, but an issue of elitism. Fimian andthe Tea Party movement wish to turn vot-ers into spectators. Virginians do not wishto watch the political process from the side-lines. I know that this November I will bevoting for a congressman who respects myconstitutional rights, and especially mypower to vote. I will be voting for U.S. GerryConnolly (D-11).

Independent VoiceRequiredTo the Editor:

When Republican candidate Keith Fimiandebated Pat Herrity on WTOP’s “The Poli-tics Program,” he stated that “there is merit”to the Tea Party’s radical notion to repealthe 17th Amendment and rob the people oftheir vital choice to vote for U.S. senators.This statement was a blatant effort to winthe support of the Tea Party and politiciansin Virginia’s state legislature, and Fimian’ssubsequent defeat of Herrity in the 11th Dis-trict GOP primary makes the choice in No-vember even clearer. Fimian apparentlysympathizes with the Tea Party propositionthat the people cannot be trusted to speakfor themselves. His belief that “there ismerit” to repealing the 17th Amendmentsuggests he would rather listen to fellowpoliticians and not members of the public.

In his Gettysburg Address, Lincoln neverspoke of a government of the politicians,by the politicians and for the politicians. InNovember, I will responsibly carry out myright to vote for Fimian’s opponent, U.S.Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-11), to ensure thatthis government remains of the people, bythe people, and for the people. We need anindependent voice in Congress, one whospeaks for our interests, not just anotherpuppet of the Tea Party.

Empower StudentsTo CompeteTo the Editor:

I wish to comment on a recent columndecrying the lack of blacks and Hispanicsat Thomas Jefferson [“TJ Diversity? Not SoMuch,” Springfield Connection, June 10-16,2010].

Admission to Thomas Jefferson is obvi-ously very competitive and it should remainthat way. We are all guaranteed equal op-portunity to compete. We are not guaran-teed equal outcome.

I was amazed that one of those inter-viewed was concerned that some were “fi-nancially gifted” and therefore able to guideand mentor their children. What in the

world does “financially gifted” mean?Many families work hard to homeschool, to give their children oppor-tunities, to pay for private schools, topay to live in good communities, etc.

and they find time to mentor and guide.Does their money come from lotteries? Whoor what is the source of these “gifts” otherthan the hard work and commitment ofthese parents?

If you want to help children who are notmentored and guided, then do so. Empowerthem to compete, not to seek quotas. Vol-unteer, but please do not continue to fosterthis destructive philosophy of a “diversityissue” which means quotas and reverse dis-crimination and permeates education up toand including severe “diversity” quotas forthe service academies.

Disparity NeedsTo Be AddressedTo the Editor:

The Connection’s report on acceptancerates at Thomas Jefferson High School (“Di-versity at TJ?”, June 2-8) raises seriousquestions about the school’s admission poli-cies. Why are the fractions of students ac-cepted from the pools of black applicants(4 out of 184) and hispanic applicants (13out of 225) so much lower than the frac-tions of accepted white (166 out of 1,277)and asian (276 out of 1,243) applicants?Is the disparity a result of inadequate ad-mission criteria? If not, is it the result ofinadequate preparation of black andhispanic children by our elementary andmiddle schools? I hope the School Boardwill look into this matter, report its find-ings to the public, and promptly take anynecessary or desirable remedial action.
