Last year’s rideraised more than $500,000, with300 riders cycling for a cure.

THE REMISSION RIDERS’team captain, Valerie Kappler, a50-year-old mother of four, wasdiagnosed in November of 2008

with lymphoma. Because of recentlymphoma research, Kappler wasable to participate in a clinical trialand is now in full remission.

“Our team does not have anycorporate sponsors.” said Kappler.“We raise every penny ourselveseither through events or personaldonations.”

The founders of the LymphomaResearch Ride, Dr. Bruce Chesonand his wife Christine, were at theOakton Wine Shop in support ofthe Remission Riders as well. TheChesons founded the research ridefive years ago to increase lym-phoma awareness and raise vitalfunds for cancer research. Chesonis also Kappler’s oncologist and thedeputy chief of the division of He-matology-Oncology and Head ofHematology at Georgetown Uni-versity Hospital. He also serves aschair of the Lymphoma ResearchFoundation Scientific AdvisoryBoard.

Since its inception, the Lym-phoma Research Ride has raised

nearly $3 million for lymphomaresearch. “The support is over-whelming,” says Mary Heppner, aRemission Riders team member.“It’s amazing how many people areassociated with someone who istouched by this disease and wantso much to help find a cure.”

Remission Riders memberSuzanne Zolldan rides andfundraises for her husband John,who was diagnosed 22 years ago.Annual check-ups continue toshow that he remains in remission.Other team members have alsohad family members and friendsstricken with this disease.

The number of lymphoma pa-tients has nearly doubled in thepast years, and is striking muchyounger people. In 2013, thereare more than 600,000 peopleliving with lymphoma or whoare in remission. It is estimatedthat more than 74,000 newcases will be diagnosed this yearas well. The numbers for thisdisease are growing.

Team captain Kappler is on thelookout for additional riders tojoin the Remission Riders for theSeptember fundraising bike ride.“We have a pasta and helmet deco-rating party the night before andthen head up to Barnesville to-gether. It’s such a rewarding andwonderful experience.”

THE LYMPHOMA RESEARCHRIDE is a non-competitive bike

ride where survivors, families,friends, individuals, communityteams and corporate teams ride inhonor and in memory of thosewhose lives have been touched bylymphoma. Participants canchoose to ride either a 25 or 50mile route.

The Vienna Woman’s Club celebrated 51years of scholarship awards on May 15at a program honoring three local highschool seniors and four Vienna elemen-

tary schools. The scholarship winners each receiveda $1,000 check from the Woman’s Club.

“The scholarships honor exceptional seniors andtheir families,” said Scholarship and Education Com-mittee co-chair Jo-Lynn Westlund.

ALL THREE SCHOLARSHIP winners are Madi-son High School students, a bonanza for a schoolthat takes extra effort to encourage its qualified se-niors to apply. Sandra Richie wants to be a teacherand plans on attending Longwood College. She hasa 3.9 GPA and has received the Bronze and Silverawards from the Girl Scouts. She mentors and tu-tors peers and younger students. “I don’t ever wantmy life to be about money,” said Sandra. “I want itto be about inspiring kids.”

Alexa Shannon, who has a crew scholarship to theUniversity of Alabama, applied crew as a metaphorfor her life’s philosophy. “You’re pulling not to winfor yourself, but you’re pulling for the team.” Alexaplans on becoming a physical therapist. A memberof the National Honor Society, Alexa holds a 3.45GPA. “If you want to succeed in life, you have to bededicated and put in the time that comes with it.”

Denzell Henderson will attend the University ofVirginia-Wise campus, on a partial football scholar-ship. He graduates with a 3.2 GPA and is captain ofhis varsity football team. He’s also president of theBlack Student Alliance and vice president of theYoung Republicans club. And he credits his mother,who coaches and mentors, for supporting him.

“It’s my time to give back to the community andhelp my family,” Denzell said. He plans on majoringin IT management while playing football and study-ing.

Guest speaker Laurie Genevro Cole, Vienna TownCouncil member, addressed the scholarship winners,telling them that fame and money are not the onlymeasures of success. “We have to define success onour own,” Cole said. “You have what you need to

succeed. You have the power to decide what successis to you.”

“Find the rewards,” said Cole. “Whatever youchoose to do, make it your own.”

1st Lt. Robert J. Hess, 26, of the Kings ParkWest neighborhood of Fairfax, was killedby enemy fire on April 23, 2013 in Pul-E-Alam, Afghanistan. Hess was known as

“RJ” and graduated from Robinson SecondarySchool in 2005, where he played football, la-crosse and was the captain of the swim team.He was a U.S. Army Blackhawk helicopter pi-lot who deployed to Afghanistan on April 11,2013. His family remembers his sense of hu-mor and his natural leadership ability.

Lance Cpl. Niall W. Coti-Sears, 23, of Arling-ton, died June 23, 2012, while conducting com-bat operations in Helmand province, Afghani-stan. Coti-Sears loved music, played the gui-tar, composed songs and entertained familyand friends at holiday gatherings. Niall wasvery close to his grandfather, William Coti, whowas a Marine. “He was always my protege,”William Coti told the Arlington Connection.“He always wanted to be a Marine and he fol-lowed my example. It weighs heavily on methat this had to happen.”

Chief Warrant Officer Five John C. Pratt, 51,of Springfield, died May 28, 2012 in Kabul,Afghanistan, of wounds sustained when hishelicopter crashed. Staff Sgt. Jessica M. Wing,42, of Alexandria, died Aug. 27, 2012 in Ku-wait City, Kuwait.

In February, 2012, Brig. Gen. Terence J.Hildner, 49, of Fairfax, was the highest rank-ing military officer to die in the war on terror.Hildner died Feb. 3, 2012 in Kabul province,Afghanistan.

ON MEMORIAL DAY, we remember all ofthose who have died in military service, morethan 400,000 in World War II, more than30,000 in Korea, more than 50,000 in Vietnam.

Since Sept. 11, 2001, more than 6,400 U.S.military service men and women have died insupport of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nearly 50,000 U.S. Military service membershave been wounded, although that number islikely to be revised upward. Last year, the mili-tary confirmed traumatic brain injury in morethan 220,000 of the more than 2.3 milliontroops who have served in Iraq and Afghani-stan. The long-term consequences of many ofthese injuries are unknown, but they will re-quire a national commitment to excellence inhealth care and services for both active dutymilitary personnel and veterans.

Virginia’s U.S. Senators Mark Warner andTim Kaine recently signed a letter along withother senators detailing the delays veteransface: “After a decade of war, and despite theVA’s efforts to modernize, more than 600,000veterans are still stuck in the VA’s disabilityclaims backlog. While the average wait timefor first time disability claims currently rangesbetween 316 and 327 days, veterans in cer-tain parts of the country are waiting evenlonger. Solving this problem is critical for vet-erans of all generations.”

The Connection

Despite the inclement weather and a soggyfield, hundreds of people still attendedthe Relay for Life at South Lakes HighSchool Saturday, May 18.

The Master of Ceremonies WTOP’s Del Waltersproclaimed to the crowd, “We ain’t afraid of no stink-ing rain,” a declaration met with cheers. The Ameri-can Cancer Society’s Relay for Life fundraisers areheld all over the country year round with millions ofsupporters hoping to find acure for cancer.

THE RELAY FOR LIFE be-gan at 1 p.m. and ended at 8a.m. the next morning. At theSouth Lakes athletic field,dozens of tents with familiesand sponsoring organizationsmade camp.

Reston locals Sonya andher son Arthur sat outsidetheir campsite. When askedwhat their favorite part of therelay is, Sonya said: “TheLuminaria ceremony is quitebeautiful,” describing a pe-riod of silent reflection re-membering those lost to can-cer, “Last year there was asmall choir singing a hymn.It can get quite emotional.”Her son Arthur was happy tobe participating in his firstRelay for Life with his family.

Cancer survivor Jill Ruoffheld back tears as high schoolsophomore Nicole Frank,whose mother is a cancer sur-vivor, sang Mariah Carey’s“Hero” for the opening ceremony. “I’ve been doingrelay for 16 years and it is still special every year,”Ruoff explained as she made her way to the startingmark for the Survivors Lap.

To officially begin the event survivors from the areawalk a lap amongst themselves wearing purple to

signify the disease they overcame. At the forefrontwere local dignitaries State Senator Janet Howell (D-32), Fairfax County Supervisor Cathy Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill), as well as the founder of Reston, 99-year-old Robert E. Simon. Howell and Hudgins joinedJill Ruoff and others on the Survivors Lap, receivinghero sashes from their caretakers.

With music playing on the loudspeakers, the relaywas underway once the rest of the supporters filedonto the track. Side-events like arts and crafts andbake sales were spread out across the field.

Watching the event from his tent, Dr. Gary C. Powellsaid, “Today offers us to come together as a commu-nity.” Looking around at the festive ambiance Dr.Powell added, “This is like a party with a cause. Wehave a family friendly event while still making a dif-ference.”

AFTER FINISHING theirfirst lap Supervisor Hudginsand Senator Howell, whohave both participated inthese types of fundraisers,were asked what makes themkeep coming back. SupervisorHudgins replied, “There isjust such a plethora of can-cers that it is almost impos-sible not to be touched bysomeone who has been af-fected by the illness.”

Hudgins further expandedon the significance of seeingthe survivors and admiringtheir bravery. “They havegone through so much. … Tosee them make themselvesvisible shows that no one suf-fers alone.”

When asked the samequestion of what motivatesher to come back every year,Sen. Howell said, “We stillhaven’t found a cure so weneed to keep fighting.”Howell also said that sheloved to see everyone “so

upbeat and lively for such a good cause,” showinghow we are all still “optimistic in finding a cure isquite inspiring.”

The event continued on into the late evening andtired supporters packed up their gear. They left earlythe next morning, eager to come back next year.

Reston’s ‘Party With a Cause’Bad weather not a problemat Relay for Life.

Area dignitaries—including Restonfounder Robert E. Simon, seated,Janet Howell (D-32) and SupervisorCathy Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill)—joined Relay for Life in Reston lastSaturday, May 18.

News

Mr. Speaker, I rise tocommemorate theextraordinary lifeof one of Fairfax

County’s more iconic figures,Mayo Sturdevant Stuntz, whopassed away May 9, at the age of97. Mr. Stuntz not only witnessedthe historical events that shapedour community, but he and hisfamily also dedicated themselvesto documenting, sharing and pre-serving that history for future gen-erations.

A native of Vienna, Mr. Stuntzspent his early years serving hiscountry. After graduating fromCornell University, he served withthe U.S. Army for five years dur-ing World War II, where he was amember of the renowned AlamoScouts reconnaissance unit basedin the South Pacific. He went onto serve 25 years with the CentralIntelligence Agency. Those accom-plishments alone merit our greatpraise and thanks, but it was whatMr. Stuntz did during his retire-ment that will leave a lasting im-print on our community.

Mr. Stuntz inherited from hisparents an interest in history thatgrew into a hobby and ultimatelybecame his true passion. His fam-ily is steeped in Fairfax County andour nation’s history. He was a de-scendent of a Hessian soldier whocame to the colonies during theRevolutionary War to fight for theBritish but wound up switchingsides once he learned the impetusfor the war. Mr. Stuntz also was adescendent of the Fitzhugh fam-ily, which traces its roots inAmerica to the early 1600s. Thefamily owned a large tract of whatlater became Fairfax County. Atone point, the Fitzhughs wereclose family friends of George andMartha Washington, who hadsettled in eastern Fairfax, and an-other Fitzhugh descendant mar-ried Robert E. Lee.

Concerned with the disappear-ing character along the main streetin Vienna that he recalled from hisyouth, Mr. Stuntz set out in the1960s to photograph every houseon Route 123 between Tysons Cor-ner and Oakton. His wife, Connie,was soon pulled into the project,which eventually led to the pub-lishing of three books: “This WasVienna,” “This Was Tysons Cor-

ner,” and “This Was Virginia.” Itwas also during the mid-1960sthat Mr. Stuntz was recruited tojoin the Fairfax Landmarks Pres-ervation Committee, which wouldserve as a precursor to the FairfaxHistory Commission. In a 2005oral history interview, he said hisinitial goal was to create a bookof historical buildings and homessimilar to one he had seen donein neighboring Arlington County.“I didn’t realize Arlington is aboutone-tenth the size of FairfaxCounty, and I bit off a great dealto chew … and I’m still chewing.”

All told, Mr. Stuntz spent 47years on the commission, chroni-cling and preserving ourcommunity’s rich history and cul-ture. In addition to the books heand his wife published, he regu-larly lectured in local classroomsand community centers. Hereadily acknowledged that he wasnot a trained historian, but his lo-cal knowledge went back a piece,and he understood the value in

connecting the past with ourpresent. It was those connectionsthat continued to drive him, evenin his later years, when he lost hissight.

I had the great pleasure of col-laborating with Mr. Stuntz on anumber of historic marker dedica-tions and Civil War preservationduring my tenure on the FairfaxCounty Board of Supervisors. Youcould not help but get carriedalong by his vast knowledge andpassion for our local history. I wasable to spend time with Mr. Stuntzearlier this spring when we cel-ebrated the Freeman Store, a lo-cal Civil War property, being addedto the National Register of HistoricPlaces. It was particularly poi-gnant for him as he was the firstchairman of the Freeman Housead hoc Historical Commission. Hisdaughter, Anne, is now presidentof the commission’s successor, His-toric Vienna. As we reflected on

this latest addition to his historictally, he pulled me aside to ask meif I had purchased my plot at FlintHill Cemetery. It is believed to bethe oldest cemetery in FairfaxCounty, and Mr. Stuntz had servedas president of the cemetery asso-ciation for 50 years. He had longencouraged me to get a plot be-fore they were all gone, and evennow was still trying to close thedeal. He was truly a character.

Mr. Stuntz is survived by his wifeof 66 years, Connie, their threechildren, eight grandchildren, andone great grandchild. Mr. Speaker,I ask my colleagues to join me incommemorating the remarkablelife of Mayo Stuntz for his tremen-dous service to our country andcommunity and in extending ourdeepest sympathies to his family.His strong connection and com-mitment to our community be-came a lifelong passion that haspreserved milestones in our his-tory for future generations andinspired others to pick up wherehe left off. He also was my friend,and I shall miss his smile andwarm presence terribly.

The Connection

The Madison boys’ lacrosse teamclobbered four-time defendingstate champion Langley 10-2 inthe Liberty District champion-

ship game on May 10. Since then, headcoach Rich Hodge said the district title haspropelled the Warhawks while competingin the Northern Region tournament.

Against Woodson on May 16, Madisonalso got an intensity boost from senior goal-keeper Matt Hayden.

Hayden, a first-team all-Northern Regionselection, blasted a Woodson player nearthe goal, drawing a yellow card and two-minute penalty for an illegal body check.Woodson scored one man-up goal duringthe penalty, but it was the Warhawks whocame away with 6-5 victory during theNorthern Region quarterfinals at MadisonHigh School.

After the game, Hodge called Hayden’shit a “good clean, hard play,” adding “hereally had to make that play.”

Hayden’s teammates said they enjoyedthe hit.

“When I see the opportunity, I usually takeit,” Hayden said. “That kid would haveturned and just dunked it on me, so I feltlike I needed to make a play.”

While Hayden’s hit provided a spark, histeammates took care of things at the offen-sive end. Senior midfielder Kyle Rowe led

Madison with two goals. Matt Arndt, DustyStahl, Nick Gabriel and Kyle Mancini eachscored one.

"There were times when I felt like Kyle Rowekind of took over,” Hodge said. “He realizedit wasn’t a smart idea to pass the ball off andjust moved the ball to a good spot.”

Four days after beating Langley for the Lib-erty District title, Madison defeated MountVernon 20-2 in the opening round ofregionals. After beating Woodson, theWarhawks will face Robinson on Wednesday,May 22 in the semifinals.

“The boys,” Hodge said, “are still kind of

rolling off that title game.”Rowe said beating Langley was memo-

rable, but the Warhawks want more.“It felt great winning [the district title],

but at the beginning of the season, we setthe goals to win the district championshipand then move onto regionals and thenhopefully on to states,” Rowe said. “We en-joyed the win, we were happy, but … nowwe’re on to Robinson, so that’s old news tous. It will always feel great, but we knowwe still have business left.”

Madison jumped out to a 2-0 lead againstWoodson thanks to goals from Arndt and

Stahl. Woodson’s Matt Dennis scored dur-ing Hayden’s penalty and the Cavaliers tiedthe score at 2-all on a goal by Connor Yagerwith 10:35 remaining in the second quar-ter.

Gabriel scored with 1:48 left in the firsthalf, giving Madison a 3-2 lead it would notrelinquish.

The Warhawks led 6-4 when Woodson’sChris Louis scored with 15.4 seconds re-maining in the fourth quarter, bringing theCavaliers within one. Woodson came upempty during its chance to tie in the clos-ing seconds.

Madison Girls’ LaxBeat Centreville

The Madison girls’ lacrosse team de-feated Centreville 20-8 during the North-ern Region tournament quarterfinals onMay 16 at Madison High School.

The Warhawks were led by senior ErinCallahan and sophomore KierraSweeney, who had five goals and twoassists apiece. Also contributing to thepotent Warhawk attack were KatieKerrigan (4 goals, 1 assist), MelissaKellan (2 goals, 3 assists), Alex Condon(2 goals), Carly Frederick (1 goal, 2 as-sists) and Sam Babbitt (1 goal, 1 assist).Once again, the Warhawks got aggres-sive play from defenders Rachel Brennan,Maddie Roberts and Christina Rusinskiwho forced multiple turnovers. Winninggoaltender Sigourney Heerink notchedsix saves.

If you’re a Three Stooges aficionado like Iam, you’ve heard Moe Howard say it manytimes to Larry Fine and brother Curly as threestooges attempted to occupy space (doorways,windows, closets, etc.), large enough/wideenough for only one stooge. In short, “recede”means: back off, one at a time, mind yourmanners, and the ever-familiar to us long-timefans: “spread out.”

As I constantly hear radio advertising (andsee some of it on television as well, though notnearly as much) from three grass seed compa-nies: Scotts, Pennington’s and Rebel, ALL THETIME, their frequency is beginning to wear mypatience thin. So far, their message is notgrowing on me. Quite the opposite in fact: It’sirritating me. Nor am I the least bit green withenvy when I hear any of their promotions,comparisons or philosophies. I’m more numbto it. (Now I don’t know if that’s the neuropa-thy from the chemotherapy or not but theeffect seems identical.)

The competition for the needing-to/wanting-to-grow-grass public dollar is saturat-ing my already limited capacity to absorb theirmessage. Now whether this saturation iscaused by filler or a unique high-tech design,the result is that my brain is getting burnt outby this ceaseless pursuit of fescue perfection.With each attempt to grab hold of my grass-growing greenbacks, it makes me ever moremotivated to finally slate-in that patio and/ordeck that haul and forget all about planting,seeding, feeding, watering and havingANYTHING to do with growing grass. I don’twant to “pave paradise” as Joni Mitchell sangabout on “Big Yellow Taxi,” but apparently,unlike these seed companies, I have my limits.As my deceased mother, Celia, said aboutmany things that had overloaded her attentionspan and/or her capacity to tolerate one moresyllable: “It’s enough already.” And she was nostooge. (“Don’t call your mother ‘she!’” I canstill hear my father admonishing me.)

But as I continue to resist the seed compa-nies’ desire to pick my pocket and remove mymoney (“what there is of it”), I’m starting tofeel like a bit of a stooge myself for not follow-ing through on their promises. I mean, whatkind of a moron am I? (“Why? Is there morethan one kind?”). If multiple companies arerunning multiple advertisements on multiplemedia outlets, there must be a reason, right?Presumably, they’re not stupid, and not keenon wasting their hard-earned and hard-fought-for money on a whim and a prayer. It must bethe right time of the year. Spring. When youngmen’s fancy turns to – grass seed. Duh. Peoplemust be responding to/buying their products,so why isn’t yours truly in line with the rest ofgrass-growing society at the local Lawn &Garden store/section somewhere? I’m the per-fect prospect: I own two acres of land andknow nothing about anything (especially per-taining to home and yard maintenance) so areasonably intelligent grouping of wordsshould resonate with me. Who needs morehelp than I do? (That’s a rhetorical questionbecause everyone who knows me knows theanswer.).

But here I sit, on the couch, remote inhand, bemoaning all this advertising emphasison lawn care. I can’t be bothered, though I’mbothered by it. Still, I can’t worry about it toomuch. Maybe I’ll just wait until I get to theother side. I hear the grass is always greenerover there.
