At Westwood Country Club inVienna, where county Repub-licans had their Nov. 4 election

“The Republican Party in Virginianeeds to find a message.”

— Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield)

coming into the election, many expressedan “anything-can-happen” mentality whenthe bulk of the results began broadcastingon televisions and projection screens.

“I feel excited and positive,” said PuneetAhluwalia when asked about McCain’schances. “He poured his heart out.”

Jim Hyland, chairperson for the FairfaxCounty Republican Committee, projectedoptimism at the beginning of the night, lay-ing out the electoral path McCain neededto take to the White House.

“Spirits are up because we still believeMcCain can win Ohio, Pennsylvania, Vir-ginia and Florida,” said Hyland.

Whoops and hollers broke out when FoxNews called SouthCarolina for McCainat 8 p.m., followedby reports of an early56 percent-43 per-cent lead for the Re-publican senator in

Virginia. That optimism evaporated as thenight wore on, with Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) winning all four of the battlegroundstates Hyland listed.

Former Gov. Mark Warner (D) cruised toa 64 percent-34 percent win against formerGov. Jim Gilmore (R) and 8th District Con-gressional candidate Mark Elmore gave ashort concession speech when early resultscalled the race for his opponent, incumbentJim Moran (D).

“You can tell your kids that Mark Elmoregave 110 percent,” said Elmore beforethanking his staff, friends and family.

By 9 p.m., the networks had called Ohioand Pennsylvania for Obama, and theparty’s chances looked sobering. U.S. Rep.Frank Wolf’s (R-10) sizable 60 percent-37percent win over Democratic opponent JudyFeder was one of the only pieces of goodnews for Republicans to reach the ballroomall night.

Connolly win leadsto special electionfor chairman’s seat.

By Julia O’Donoghue

The Connection

Fairfax County Board of Su-pervisors chairman GerryConnolly (D) won the battleto replace retiring U.S. Rep.

Tom Davis (R) in Virginia’s 11th con-gressional district handily Nov. 4.

Connolly was ebullient along withSenator-elect Mark Warner at a Demo-

cratic celebration atthe McLean Hiltonon Tuesday night.

Connolly de-feated politicalnewcomer andOakton business-man Keith Fimianin an electionwhere votersheavily favoredDemocrats. Heearned 52.98 per-cent of the vote toFimian’s 44.66 per-cent, carrying thedistrict with an 8.5

percentage-point lead overall.Connolly’s supporters, particularly

his colleagues, praised his work as

Fairfax County chairman. They said his ap-proach to local government would trans-late nicely to Congress.

“Gerry will be a champion for FairfaxCounty in Congress. He brings the FairfaxCounty perspective that Tom Davis origi-nally brought with him when he was firstelected,” said Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee).

Connolly’s ascent to congress will be amajor change for Fairfax County. The chair-

man has been a fixture in local government,serving as head of the Board of Supervisorsfor the past five years and the ProvidenceDistrict supervisor for the previous eight.

The county chairman’s win also mightalso point to a more permanent shift in theregion’s political leanings.

Davis has represented Virginia’s modern11th District for all but two of its 16-yearexistence. Yet Republicans were unable tofend off Connolly, the most serious Demo-

cratic threat to the seat in years.President elect Barack Obama won the

11th Congressional District with 55.46 ofthe vote and approximately a 12-point leadover opponent John McCain. U.S. Sen.-electMark Warner earned 64.3 percent of theballots and posted a 30-point lead in samedistrict.

Real Estate Broker SentencedFor Defrauding Lorton Couple

The president of a Vienna real estate firm was sentenced Friday, Oct.31 to 70 months in federal prison for defrauding clients of more than$1 million.

Rajasekhar Marni, 47 of Reston, pleaded guilty in August to federalwire fraud and money laundering in connection with a real estate fraudscheme in 2005 and 2006.

Judge T.S. Ellis III also ordered that Marni pay $1,117,000 in restitu-tion to his victims.

Marni, the president of Loanworth Corporation, Inc. in Vienna, de-frauded three sets of clients of more than $1 million, according to DanaJ. Boente, acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, andJoseph Persichini Jr., assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washing-ton Field Office.

In March 2006, Marni arranged to purchase a Fairfax Station housefor $889,000. Marni had the homeowners, who agreed to financeMarni’s purchase, transfer the title to him while he signed a deed oftrust detailing terms of the loan. But Marni never recorded the loanwith Fairfax County although he submitted documentation transfer-ring the title to him, according to Boente. He eventually sold the prop-erty to a third party and used the proceeds to buy a house for himselfin Vienna.

Marni also admitted to defrauding a Lorton couple by convincingthem to transfer the title of their property to Loanworth Corporation,Inc. for six months. During that time, he took out more than $227,000loans against the property. After the title was returned, one of Marni’slenders foreclosed on the home, resulting in a loss of the victim’s eq-uity in the property, according to Boente.

Parking space leading up to the Clifton Elementary School pollingstation was hard to come by. Though light rain was a factor for most ofthe day, nearly 300,000 more Virginians voted in this presidentialelection compared to 2004, according to preliminary results from theVirginia State Board of Elections.

Area voters headto polls amid recordregistration.

The Connection

For Clifton resident Uzair Siddiqui,it was the economy, for Burke resi-dent Karen Saunders it was terror-ism and for Springfield resident

Betty Jenkins it was integrity. Every voterin Fairfax County had a top issue in mindwhen they reached their polling locationTuesday Nov. 4 for the 2008 elections.

“There’s a lot of enthusiasm, thoughthere’s no way of judging for whom,” saidSpringfield resident Fletch Fletcher, who setup a table for the GOP outside the Hunter’sCrossing polling station in Greenspring onSpring Village Road.

Fear in the lead up to the election con-cerning overcrowded polls due to recordvoter registration throughout the state wereseemingly alleviated when voters and pollworkers reported shorter than expectedlines.

“It’s slowed-down for now, but it willprobably pick up after lunch,” saidGreenspring resident Sim Taylor, who hasbeen a poll worker since Richard Nixon wasrelected in 1972.

“We’ve seen huge crowds but everythinghas kept moving,” said Michael Duerksen,

“We were prepared for anightmare and we reallydidn’t get that.”

— Monica Horan, chief electionofficer for the Clifton Elementary

School polling precinct

chief election officer for Lake Braddockpolling station. “A lot of us are veterans inthis precinct.

Light but constant rain was a factor formost of the day. According to the VirginiaState Board of Elections, preliminary votetotals show nearly 3.5 million Virginians

voted in this presidential election, up fromapproximately 3.2 million in 2004. If thosenumbers hold, it would represent a smallerthan expected increase after 5 millionpeople registered to vote this year, a staterecord.

By noon Tuesday, the Clifton Elementary

School polling station reported that 2,100of 4,386 eligible votes in their precinct hadbeen cast.

“[The numbers] are high, but I would notsay they were unusually high,” said MonicaHoran, chief election officer for the precinct.“We were prepared for a nightmare and werally didn’t get that.”

Voters also reported light lines, thoughmany credited a good sense of timing morethan any other factors.

“I was surprised. Maybe the big rush forpeople at work has already happened,” saidSaunders, who cast her vote around 11a.m..

“They’re shorter than I’ve ever seen here.I have to believe that people are spreadingout their day,” said Burke resident EileenBillinson.

“I thought there was going to be hours ofwaiting,” said Clifton resident TracyLattanze.

stumping for 11th District Congressional candidateGerry Connolly (D). She said she was impressed withthe Obama campaign coordination in the lead up tothe campaign.

“I think the organization from the Obama cam-paign is like nothing I’ve ever seen before,” saidBulova. “The number of young voters participatingin the process is unique.”

Cathy Connolly, wife of Gerry Connolly, visitedGreenspring in the morning to greet voters as well.

“It’s a very exciting day. We’re feeling really, reallygood about the day across the board,” she said.

Cathy Connolly said the increased voter turnoutreflected people’s desire for change.

“What it really signals is a very exciting time forthe country. People in Fairfax County believe in goodgovernment,” said Cathy Connolly. “We’re used togovernment working for us and its time we got usedto that on a national level.”

MANY VOTERS based their decision on the per-ceived strengths of both candidates: national secu-rity for McCain and the economy for Obama.

“We live in tenuous times and I feel with John

McCain we are safer,” said Saunders, who voted forMcCain.

“I would put the economy at the top, and then thegeneral direction of [the country] after that,” saidSiddiqui, who voted for Obama.

However, traditional platform issues like abortionstill managed to sway some voters regardless of theirfeelings about the candidates.

“I’m voting for the person who stands for life. Idon’t believe in murdering babies,” said Jenkins, whovoted for McCain.

Jim Dillard, former Republican Delegate from the41st District was outside the Lake Braddock Second-ary School polling precinct, trying to catch peoplecoming out of the polls to educate them about smartgrowth. This election he has switched sides to sup-port the Democrat Obama, recording a robocall onbehalf of the campaign and hanging Obama flyerson doors the day before the election. He said that ifObama won Virginia he would likely do it by follow-ing the strategies that Virginia Democrats have usedin recent years.

“When Warner, Kaine and Webb won, it was allNorthern Virginia and the areas around it that madea difference,” said Dillard. “I hope they play a majorrole.”

trict buoyed spirits throughout the night.With the results still in doubt, Fimian tookthe stage to chants of “Go Keith, Go!” fromthose in attendance. He thanked outgoingU.S. Rep. Tom Davis (R-11), who he said“pulled me out of a hat for this race.”

“I have to tell you I’m more energizedtoday than I’ve ever been about this coun-try,” said Fimian.

STATE AND county Republicans expressedthe need for changes in their approach toVirginia voters in the wake of Obama’s vic-tory. Del. Dave Albo (R-42) said the partyhad gotten away from talking about howto solve problems. He pointed to negativeadvertisements run in 2005 against guber-natorial candidate Tim Kaine’s (D) com-ments on the death penalty and in 2006against Sen. candidate Jim Webb (D) re-garding books he had written before hispolitical career was launched.

“That doesn’t talk about how your kidsare going to college or how you’re going tobuild roads,” said Albo. “We need a moresolutions-based approach.”

Supervisor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield)said his party needed to start being morecompetitive in Northern Virginia if theywanted to reverse their trend of electoraldefeat.

“The Republican Party in Virginia needsto find a message,” said Herrity, “the kind

of message that resonates with Virginia andFairfax County voters.”

Some at Tuesday night’s reception ex-pressed frustration and anger about the re-sults.

“Because of what I know about Obama,he has basically no morals,” said Lisa Mont-gomery.

“It’s going to be nice, we’re going to beon guard,” said Heather West, pointing to

increased Democratic majorities in theHouse and Senate. “[Obama] will have noexcuse if he fails.”

Lisa’s husband, Butch Montgomery, saidhe completely disagreed with Obama onissues like the economy, abortion and taxes,but that if elected he would accept it, usinghis reaction to Bill Clinton’s election 1992as a model.

“I didn’t like [Clinton], but I’ll honor the

position,” he said.The 11th District Congressional race was

the last race keeping those that hadn’t al-ready left the country club from goinghome. At 10:30 p.m., Fox News called therace for Connolly. Fimian informed thoseat the reception on his intention to concedethe race to Connolly.

“These results, they swept a lot of [Re-publicans] away tonight,” he said.

He thanked his staffers, supporters andfamily, stressing the need to avoid fallinginto despair.

“We should take a lot of heart in what wehave and not focus on what we don’t have.There was a lot of talk this election aboutchange. Well, in two years, people are go-ing to want to see a lot of change,” saidFimian to cheers from the remaining sup-porters.

In an interview with The Connection af-ter his concession, Fimian said he was in-spired by the people he met as a candidate.

“Having never run before, I didn’t knowwhat to expect,” he said. “What I realizedis how many people love our country andcare deeply about it.”

When asked what he had learned abouthimself throughout the course of the cam-paign, he pointed to his work ethic, sayinghard work pays off.

“I left everything out there. This cycle Icame up short but I’m convinced that thesecret to success in American is hard work,”said Fimian.

the City of Fairfax.Connolly also won in the part of the 11th

District that overlaps with Prince WilliamCounty, where he received 51.85 percentof the vote.

“While I congratulate Gerry Connolly onhis win, his victory was not resounding. Ithink those numbers indicate voters hadsome doubts about his leadership of thiscounty,” said Jim Hyland, chairman of theFairfax County Republican Committee.

CONNOLLY’S move to Congress willtrigger at least one special election — andpossibly one or two more — for local posi-tions this year.

Residents will vote in special election fora new chairman in February or March fol-lowing Connolly’s resignation as countychairman in early January.

At least two candidates, SupervisorsSharon Bulova (D-Braddock) and PatrickHerrity (R-Springfield), have already ex-pressed interest in the chairman’s race.

Bulova, who has represented theBraddock District for 21 years, has said shewill officially kick off her bid for countychairman Nov. 12, and has already secureda campaign staff manager for the race.

“I think I can do a very good job as chair-man. I was mainly happy serving the

Braddock District, but now I think it is some-thing I should do and can do well,” saidBulova at the Democratic victory party inTysons Corner on election night.

Bulova cited her leadership on regional

commissions and the county board’s bud-get committee chair as preparation for thechairman’s position.

As a district supervisor, Bulova said shehas also taken on Fairfax County’s larger

problems, like transportation. She was in-strumental in bringing one of state mostsuccessful public transportation systems,the Virginia Railway Express, into existence,she said.

If elected, the Braddock supervisor saidshe would bring a style different thanConnolly’s to the county’s highest office.

“Gerry and I are both policy wonks andbudget wonks, but my temperament is dif-ferent. I am more measured,” said Bulova.

Herrity could not be reached for this ar-ticle, though Fairfax County Republicanssaid they expected him to announce his ownchairman campaign soon.

“Pat Herrity is highly likely to be a candi-date for that spot,” said Hyland the day af-ter Connolly won his election for Congress.

Herrity is in his first year on the countyboard but could bring name recognition tothe race. His father, Jack Herrity, served 16years on the Board of Supervisors, includ-ing 12 years as chairman.

In his short time on the county board,Patrick Herrity has butted heads withConnolly several times, particularly on howcounty money set aside for affordable hous-ing has been spent.

A victory by either Bulova or Herrity inthe chairman race would automatically leadto a second special election for a districtsupervisor this spring.

Col. Vick Kuchar of the U.S. Air Forcespoke to volunteers and donors at aclothing drive at Burke Lake Park lastSaturday about his experience with the

children of Afghanistan. Showing his photo collec-tion from his tours in the Middle East, he explainedthat the harsh conditions of the Afghani winter of-ten cause frostbite on thechildren’s limbs. Many children donot have shoes to wear during thesnowy and windy days and nights.

“Our first goal is to save fingers,save toes and save lives,” saidKuchar. “Once we can provide ba-sic necessities, we hope to bringeducation to the small villages.”

The Lamia Afghan Foundationhosted the First Annual Afghan Winter Warmth Watchand Collection on Saturday, Nov. 1, from 9 a.m. to 6p.m., at Burke Lake Park. This was the organization’sfirst drive to collect winter clothing and school sup-plies for the children of Afghanistan.

The drive collected winter clothing, shoes, sleep-ing bags, jackets and other items for the citizens ofAfghanistan. The winters in Afghanistan are harsh,and many citizens in small villages suffer during the

by the event’s 30 volunteers into different catego-ries, such as women’s clothing, children’s clothingand household items. The drive collected enoughgoods to fill two large trucks, and efforts to continuesorting goods will continue this week.

Once the donations are sorted and boxed, DentonAirlift will take them to Afghanistan with the help ofthe United States Agency for International Develop-ment sometime later this month. The group usesextra space on military planes to transport donatedgoods to Afghanistan.

“We think of this as a hand up, not a hand out,”said Jan Bradley, a co-founder of the Lamia AfghanFoundation. “A lot of military personnel are helping

the people of the Afghanistan.America has a great heart, we needto help them over there.”

Saturday’s efforts took place inconjunction with two other drivesin the country, one at the Univer-sity of North Texas in Denton,Texas and one at Tarrant CountyCommunity College in Fort Worth,Texas.

“It takes a lot of effort and a lot of people workingvery hard to get this shipped over,” said Bradley. “It’sgot to be sorted, packed, transported, flown and dis-tributed. A lot of people help along the way.”

“There are so many groups that came here to helptoday. We have military personnel, Afghan-Ameri-cans, Christians, Muslims, everyone. It’s about ev-eryone coming together to help these people,” saidBradley.

“We are so glad we did something to help today,”said Najiba Hashimi of Alexandria, an Afghaniwoman who left the country 28 years ago with herfamily. “As an Afghani, we appreciate the help that isbeing given to the country.”

A Friendly Little Game of Football

“They weren’t selfish andat that age that’s prettykey.”

— Gary McInturff

Robinson’s Fox and Regensburg of Fairfax start and end football careers together.

By Jason Mackey

The Connection

With an average output of alittle more than six wins perseason since the schoolopened in 2005, the South

County volleyball team wasn’t exactly re-writing the Patriot District record books.

South County had rattled off records of2-14, 10-8 and 7-14 prior to the start of the2008 season, scoring two district-tourna-ment victories during that time.

Under fourth-year coach Dave Prahl, theStallions were simply trying to developsome consistency and to stretch the gameby recruiting younger, newer players.

Then this season, with the emergence ofa pair of first team All-District performers,Prahl’s team suddenly realized it was muchcloser to its eventual goal than it had real-ized.

Behind sophomoremiddle blocker SimoneAntwi and junior outsidehitter Lindsay Stephens,the Stallions went 16-3this fall and topped WestSpringfield last week fortheir first-ever Patriot Dis-trict crown.

“At the beginning of the season, coach saidto us, ‘This is our year to win districts,’ andwe were like, ‘Uh, OK,’” said Stephens, whowas named the Patriot District Player of theYear. “But from the first practice, everythingjust clicked.”

Though the Stallions suffered a 3-2 set-back to Herndon in the first round of thisweek’s Northern Region tournament, SouthCounty will lose only two seniors from thisyear’s squad and should be well positionedas a Patriot power for years to come.

“Ultimately, I thought next year’s teamwould be the one that would take every-thing, just because I only had two seniorsthis year,” said Prahl, who earned DistrictCoach of the Year honors as well. “But wewere able to get it together and come offwith [a district title] this year.”

ONLY A YEAR AGO, Antwi was cementedon the freshman team and Stephens wasmired in an uncomfortable spot as a middleblocker. But as Antwi matured and learnedthe game of volleyball — she only startedplaying the sport as a freshman — Stephenswas able to shift outside, a position where

she’s been much morecomfortable.

The 6-foot Stephenssaid that last season shewas just “getting in theway” up front, spinningaround in circles andtrying to get involved inthe action. The moveoutside enabled

Stephens to get behind the play, and theresults have been spectacular. In 19 matchesthis season, Stephens has totaled 229 kills,an average of 12.1 per match, and hit animpressive .383.

Likewise, Antwi made a major adjustment

by even coming out for the sport. As a de-voted basketball player, Antwi didn’t evenwant to be bothered with volleyball. How-ever, prior to her freshman year, Antwi’smother insisted that she at least attend try-outs. Antwi ended up falling in love withthe sport.

In Stephens’ vacated spot, Antwi has alsoaccumulated 229 kills, hit at a .442 clip andposted 27 solo blocks. In the district finalagainst West Springfield, Antwi led SouthCounty with 14 kills.

“If she has a great set, she’s not going toget blocked,” Prahl said.

The sets have been there, as evidenced

by the 600 assists (31.6 per match) postedby one of the team’s two seniors, setterMelissa Guy, who was picked as a secondteam All-District performer. In addition toGuy, South County will also lose defensivespecialist Shannon Collins, who was thirdon the team this season with 100 digs.

The Stallions will also be helped alongby the return of junior libero EricaFairbanks, who led South County with 231digs and a serve percentage of 94 (39 aces).

“Hopefully, next year, we win regionalsand win districts again,” Antwi said. “Wejust need to stay focused and keep our de-termination and mindset to do it again.”

By Jason Mackey

The Connection

All along, Chris Regensburg knewit was a game he didn’t want tomiss. Not only would he line upfor the final time on a high school

football field, he’d do it against an old friendand former teammate.

A pair of senior running backs, ChrisRegensburg of Fairfax and Robinson’sWynton Fox grew up playing football to-gether in various Southwestern Youth As-sociation leagues. While sharing the samebackfield, Regensburg and Fox developeda mutual respect and friendship away fromthe football field.

For Regensburg, who suffered a hairlinefracture of his fibula against Chantilly onOct. 17, his status for this game was verymuch in jeopardy. Still, the hard-hitting run-

ning back dealt with the hard-hitting painand carried three times for 12 yards.

After getting “sandwiched” during a 3-yard gain midway through the first quar-ter, that was it. Regensburg was done. Ashe returned to the sideline, Regensburgfound himself doing something that hehadn’t done much of before. He watchedFox run.

“I was upset that it was my last game,but it was still pretty cool just watching himtear up our team,” said Regensburg. “He hadgotten a lot better since last year. He hit acouple of holes against us, and he’s just gotthat extra gear.”

On those SYA teams, Fox was always thespeedy feature back and Regensburg thepower fullback.

WHETHER HE WAS three yards aheadthrowing a crushing block or faking a dive

play so Fox could slither untouched for 72yards, Regensburg’s eyes were never on Fox.

But from the first carry of the game, itbecame apparent that most eyes would fo-cus on Regensburg’s counterpart. Startingthe game with a standard off-tackle play tothe right, Fox made two moves and cut backagainst the grain tohis left, leavingFairfax — andRegensburg —grasping at air.

The 64-yardtouchdown was oneof three that Foxwould score on thenight, as Robinson (5-5) barreled its wayto a 49-14 win. In all, Fox carried eight timesfor 162 yards, averaging 20.3 yards percarry.

Fox might have won the battle, but

Regensburg can still lay claim to the war,albeit not by much.

For the Rebels (4-6) this season,Regensburg rushed for 916 yards and 10touchdowns on 155 carries (5.9 avg.), whileFox totaled 913 yards and nine touchdownson 132 carries (6.9 avg.) Regensburg also

recorded 105 receiv-ing yards and onetouchdown to 215yards and threescores for Fox.

WITH 1,829YARDS betweenthem, it was a rush-

ing output that any coach would enjoy. ForSYA’s Gary McInturff, who coached the boyswhen they were in seventh grade on his 85-

goods over to Bagram Air Base inAfghanistan in December 2007.The shipment consisted of coats,tarps, tools and other goods.

The Lamia Afghan Foundationgrew out of a mission called Op-eration Care. The organization isbased in Nashville and made upof nine board members. It earnedits name from a girl named Lamiain a small village in Afghanistan.When retired Lt. Gen. John Brad-ley of the U.S. Air Force was help-ing to distribute goods in the vil-lage, Lamia asked Bradley for apair of boots.

It was his wife, Jan Bradley, whohelped organized efforts to sendover shoes and other basic itemsto the citizens of Afghanistan, in-cluding a pair of boots for Lamia.The Bradleys then started an or-ganization to further efforts tohelp the children of Afghanistan.

“Today has been a great successso far,” said Leigh Ann Bradley,daughter of Jan and John Bradley,who volunteered at the drive andalso does public relations for theLamia Afghan Foundation.

Cancer is the No. 1 killer ofAmericans under age 85. In Vir-ginia alone, an estimated 13,990people will die from the diseasethis year. As someone who workswith cancer survivors and theircaregivers on a daily basis, andwho lost my father and too manyfriends to this fight, I hope we allfind these numbers unacceptable.It is time to recommit our nationto the war on cancer — and thatchallenge begins here at home.

The American Cancer SocietyCancer Action Network (ACSCAN) will bring this fight to the

Springfield commu-nity on Wednesday,Oct. 29. The FightBack Express, which

has been traveling the entire coun-try, will make one of its final stopsat the Giant grocery store in theCardinal Forest Plaza on OldKeene Mill Road on Oct. 29 from4-7 p.m. Everyone is welcome toattend this event. Attendees willbe invited to show their supportfor putting cancer at the top of thenation’s agenda by signing the bus.In addition, you will have the op-portunity to show your support forprotecting the health of all work-ers in Virginia by sending a mes-sage to Del. Dave Albo (R-42) insupport of making all workplacesin Virginia smoke-free 24 hours aday.

ACS CAN, the sister advocacyorganization of the American Can-cer Society, is committed to evi-dence-based policy and legislationthat boost cancer research fund-ing at all levels; broaden access tocancer prevention methods, earlydetection tools and treatment; andstrengthen tobacco control mea-sures.

Find out more about the ACSCAN Fight Back Express at

www.acscan.org/bus and let yourvoice be one of the millions heardacross the country this electionseason in support of making can-cer a top national priority.

Too many of us continue to loseloved ones who fought valiantly towin their personal wars againstcancer. It is time to fight back. Ifone person can battle this disease,a nation can defeat it.

SupportDisabilities BillTo the Editor:

Over the years since my son wasdiagnosed with autism in 1996,friends have asked me, “Who is hisdoctor?” I would respond, “Doc-

tor for what?” “For his autism,”they’d say. “We don’t have one” Iwould say. “Insurance doesn’tcover any therapy for his disabil-ity.”

They knew I was driving him tobehavior therapy, speech therapy,occupational therapy and imple-menting dietary interventions. Allof these things we paid for out-of-our pocket for our son; therapiesand interventions for a neurologi-cal disorder with developmentaland behavioral impacts. No differ-ent than therapies and interven-tions to restore functionality aftera stroke.

Today, a bill that has been intro-duced in the Virginia House ofDelegates that would mandatecoverage of treatments for autismspectrum disorders by insurancecompanies — HB 1588 (FormerlyHB 83; http://

www.aut i smvotes .org/s i te/c.frKNI3PCImE/b.4445103). Un-der this legislation, children wouldreceive services that would helptheir disabled child without finan-cially ruining their family.

Early intervention is the key toprogress for children with this di-agnosis. Language and behaviorscan be improved and children canbe mainstreamed in classroomswith their peers. Insurance com-panies argue that it is the respon-sibility of the school districts totreat the symptoms of autism (thisargument was made in front of theSpecial Advisory Commission onMandated Health Insurance Ben-efits on Sept. 29, 2008). I thinkthe education community wouldfind it interesting that they havebeen tasked with treating a medi-cal disorder in addition to educat-ing these children.

Please let your legislator knowyou support HB 1588 requiringinsurance coverage of therapiesfor this medical diagnosis. Cover-age by insurance companies ofthese therapies would likely de-crease their costs making servicesmore accessible to families. Thiswould allow more children to re-ceive intensive early interventionthat would ultimately down costsas the effects of this disorder aremitigated.

Robinson Optimisticfor State Meet

After his boys and girls cross-countryteams logged second- and third-place fin-ishes, respectively, at the Oct. 31 North-ern Region championship meet,Robinson coach Jeremy Workman let outa sigh of relief.

He felt that the second of threepostseason meets provided the easiestopportunity to “choke” and was pleasedthat both of his teams didn’t.

“The main thing is that we’re movingon,” Workman said. “I was proud of thefact that both teams got into the topthree. I’m not satisfied, but we’re rightwhere we need to be and that’s all I canask right now.”

Workman has had his share of talentedteams, most recently winning VirginiaAAA state titles in 1999 (boys) and 2001(girls).

With the top four teams and 15 indi-vidual finishers qualifying for Saturday’sstate meet at Great Meadow in ThePlains, Workman likes his team’s chanceson the 3.1-mile course.

“It’s very hilly. It’s a true 5K and a truecross-country course,” Workman said. “Ifeel like we’re at our best on a true 5Kcourse, which has not been the case dur-ing my previous years.”

Leading the Rams last Thursday, seniorJared Berman finished fourth with a time

of 15 minutes, 31.48 seconds and seniorStephanie Bray took 15th place with atime of 18:30.14.

South County’sFirst-Round Test

Entering last Friday’s Week 10matchup at Annandale, the SouthCounty football team had an opportu-nity to win its first-ever Patriot Districtcrown. But after allowing 21 unan-swered points in the second half of a 28-7 loss, the Stallions were just thankfulto sneak into the Northern Region play-offs as the No. 8 seed.

“Somebody has to be the eighth seed,”said South County coach Pete Bendorf,whose team will travel to top-seededOakton Friday night. “Certainly, wedidn’t want to be but we’re happy to bein and happy to have the opportunity toplay a good football team.”

Bendorf spent 11 seasons on the side-line opposite at Oakton, leading the Cou-gars to a Northern Region title in 2002.South County (6-4) scrimmages Oaktonat the beginning of every season, but thiswill be the first time Bendorf returns toOakton in a meaningful game.

“I’ve tried to not give it too muchthought,” said Bendorf, who is thebrother-in-law of Oakton coach Joe Th-ompson. “I don’t want to go over thereand play poorly, I can tell you that.”

Week in Sports

pound SYA American team, he had thatsort of production and loved it.

Though his team used several offensivesets, McInturff would often use a split-backformation with Regensburg and Fox linedup evenly behind his offensive tackles.When the team shifted into the I-formation,Regensburg would block for Fox.

“They weren’t selfish and at that age that’spretty key,” McInturff said. “You have somekids who want to run the ball and don’twant to block, but they were both goodblockers too.”

Like many relationships these days, theone between Regensburg and Fox is keptalive digitally. Whether it has meant a textmessage, instant message or the occasionalphone call, the duo has kept close tabs onhow each other’s football season has tran-spired.

But as both teams’ seasons ended last Fri-day, Regensburg and Fox might not talk asmuch during the winter and spring sportsseasons. Then again, maybe they will.

“I wish I could’ve seen him out there onhis last game,” Fox said. “But of course, I’mgoing to call him up and brag to him … butof course we’re still going to be greatfriends.”
