The South Lakes High School Class of 2013gathered for the final time as students atthe school, leaving the building thatevening, Friday, June 14, as South Lakes

alumni. Five hundred and twenty eight seniors gradu-ated, including 104 students who graduated with theInternational Baccalaureate diploma, 119 honorgraduates and 23 who are the first in their family tograduate from high school.

“I had the privilege of being this class’s assistantprincipal for two years,” said South Lakes Princi-pal Kimberly Retzer, who was named principal lastJuly. “I remember them coming to this school asfreshman, standing outside of the office, lookingas if they were wondering if they belonged here.Looking out among them now, I can see they foundtheir way.”

The class is already working toward finding theirway at the next level, as the members of the classhave collectively been awarded more than $15 mil-lion in scholarship dollars.

The class also included two exchange students, onefrom Germany, one from Japan.

Class President Nicole Rappaport recalled Septem-ber 2009, when the class came to South Lakes, andsaid she was proud to watch the group’s evolutionover their high school careers.

“Sitting in front of me is a group of individualswho can do anything they want in their lives,” shesaid. “They’ve shown the ability, intellect, drive andpassion to accomplish anything.”

The Class of 2013 voted English teacher AlisonShreck to give the faculty address.

“Part of becoming an adult is that slowly, over time,

walking the path of the ordinary, you realize thatlife is not happening somewhere else, at someoneelse’s party, someone else’s job, someone else’s ca-reer. That it’s in your everyday choices, and it’s fullof opportunity,” she said. “The world does not needstudents who want instant success, it does not needstudents who want accolades simply by pushing but-tons on a smartphone. It needs people who can walkthe ordinary road and become the person they wantto be.”

New Healthcare FacilityOpens in HerndonClinic is first in FairfaxCounty to receive AffordableHealthcare Act funding.

HealthWorks for Northern Virginiaopened a new healthcare center inHerndon Tuesday, June 11, the firstsuch facility in Fairfax County that will

receive funding from the federal government via theAffordable Healthcare Act. The center will providemedical, dental and behavioralhealthcare.

“The numbers of those in ourcounty who lack access tohealthcare is indeed shockinglyhigh. A year ago the JeanieSchmidt Free Clinic, which hadbeen serving the area for 10 years,was nearing capacity. We were car-ing for 1,600 patients and all ofour adult patients are sufferingfrom a chronic illness,” said CarolJameson, associate CEO forHealthWorks for Northern Vir-ginia. “The opportunity to joinwith the Loudoun CommunityHealth Center and form a newcommunity health center pre-sented itself and we movedahead.”

Health Works of Northern Vir-ginia is the result of a merger be-tween the Jeanie Schmidt Free Clinic and theLoudoun County Community Health Center, whichtook place in October 2012. The merger effectivelytripled the amount of low-income patients served.

HEALTHWORKS CURRENTLY SERVES morethan 8,000 patients in three centers in Fairfax andLoudoun Counties. According to Fairfax County, thereare 150,000 residents that do not have health insur-ance.

Fairfax County contributed funding to build thecenter, and also provided it with grants to supportprograms. Three county staff will be permanentlyonsite to ensure patients can access the servicesthey’re eligible for.

This is the first healthcare clinic in Fairfax to be

funded under the provision of the AffordableHealthcare Act. The federal government contributed$650,000 to the clinic.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-11) said that centers likethis are why he is such a staunch defender of theAffordable Healthcare act, citing the 30 millionpeople in America, and 300,000 in Virginia alonethat will be able to get health insurance.

“It’s not OK to have 30 million fellow Americansnot covered by some kind of healthcare. It’s not OKthat millions of families in America actually have todo the calibration when their kid gets sick, ‘will hewalk it off, or will it develop into something moreserious and therefore, more expensive?’” he said. “It’snot OK that for million of Americans the primary

portal of healthcare is the emer-gency room because they can’t af-ford to or don’t have healthcarecoverage.”

THE SPIRIT of providinghealthcare services to those inneed was what nurse JeanieSchmidt had in mind when shestarted giving free school physicalsto underprivileged students in July2002 at Herndon Middle School.

In 2007, the clinic expanded itsservices to treat adults withchronic health issues. Jeff Clayton,a board member of HealthWorks,said that the new facility is well-positioned to meet those goalswell into the future.

“The organization’s goal was toprovide healthcare services topeople who needed them, regard-

less of their ability to pay. From its origin providingphysicals in school gymnasiums to children whoneeded them, to its first permanent home on EldenStreet, to its second home off of Technology Drive, itreally did accomplish just that,” he said. “It servedthousands of patients over a number of years andbecame the medical home to hundreds of patientswho had some very complex problems, a lot of thoseresulting from diabetes or hypertension.”

Given the Jeanie Schmidt Clinic’s long relationshipwith Herndon, Mayor Lisa Merkel said she was“thrilled to have this new facility in the heart ofHerndon.”

The facility is located 1141 Elden Street, Suite 300.More information on HealthWorks of Northern Vir-ginia can be fond at www.hwnova.org.

Garden TourSet for June 23

By Alex McVeigh

The Connection

The annual HerndonGarden Tour will beheld Sunday, June 23

from noon to 4 p.m. The annualtour will feature four local resi-dences and allow visitors to ex-plore and learn about their gar-dens.

Joe Francis first got into gar-dening while still a student. Heand his wife Aggie own threeacres on Dranesville Road.

The north side of their houseis a shade garden, featuringferns, gardenias and more. Thebackyard has several uniqueitems, such as a weeping pine,which Aggie Francis calls her“pride and joy.”

Despite living in the house formore than 40 years, it was onlya year and a half ago that someprime territory opened up formore gardening.

“Our pool broke in the earth-quake a few years ago, and wedecided to just fill it in andmake it more garden space,” shesaid. “It’s a garden in progress,it usually takes about five yearsfor one to come into its own. Itry out a lot of things just to seeif they work. If I like them, itwill stay, otherwise it’s gone.”

She says she prides herself ona garden without “anythingyou’d find at Home Depot,” in-stead she reads catalogues andorders things she likes.

Another signature piece in thegarden is a dwarf dawn red-wood, which was originallythought to be extinct until theSmithsonian found some seedsin China.

Joe Francis is a master gar-dener himself, having receivedmultiple awards for his orchids,as well as recognition for grow-

ing plants for the Town ofHerndon. He is currently presi-dent of the Fairfax Master Gar-deners.

Another stop on the tour isthe home of Kevin LeBlanc andScott Mayhugh. The natives ofNew Orleans have patternedtheir yard after the French-stylelayered look.

“There are sections whichhave their own character, suchas an heirloom rose garden,which we’ve layered with otherthings that complement it,”LeBlanc said. “The main goal isto have something with colorand variety blooming at alltimes during the year.”

One side of the house is awoodland garden, which isshady and features peonies,vines and clematis. Anotherside is in the style of a rock gar-den, with alpine flowers. Eventhe strip of land next to the curbhas been transformed into aVirginia wildflower garden.

The tour is self-guided, mean-ing once a ticket is purchasedvisitors can visit any gardenduring the noon to 4 p.m. timeperiod.

The four stops are: Joe andAggie Francis at 680Dranesville Road, Deb andDave Heming, 917 Barker HillRoad, Bill and Janice Biggs, 310Missouri Avenue and KevinLeBlanc and Scott Mayhugh,818 Locust Street.

Tickets are $10 in advanceand can be purchased at theHerndon Community Center,814 Ferndale Avenue, theHerndon Florist, 716 LynnStreet, and ArtSpace Herndon,750 Center Street.

The day of the tour, ticketsare $15 and can be purchasedat the Herndon CommunityCenter, and all tour stops.

Talking, Acting To Keep Them SafeReducing drug- andalcohol-related fatalities.

Editorial

The pages and covers of most of thisweek’s Connection Newspapersshow the joy and accomplishmentassociated with high school gradu-

ation. The day celebrates graduates who ac-complished much just by finishing, graduatesheaded to college and more.

Most area high schools also celebrate withan all-night graduation party, an event de-signed and coordinated by parents to providegraduates with safe and appealing fun, withmany schools organizing an annual party formore than 20 years.

It was, for example, the 25thannual All Night Drug and Al-cohol-Free Graduation Celebra-tion for T.C. Williams HighSchool when the class of 2013

held its party on Saturday, June 15. Since 1989,when this tradition began at T.C. Williams,there have been no drug or alcohol-relatedgraduation night fatalities.

Herndon High School parents have been pro-viding a memorable evening for our graduatesin an alcohol and drug free atmosphere formore than 20 years, and report that, “since theAll Night Grad Celebrations began, we arehappy to say there have been no alcohol ordrug related fatalities on graduation night.”

Summer is the beginning of many celebra-tions for young people in this area, and manyof them, whether underage or over 21, admitthat they celebrate with alcohol. Chances arethat if your household includes a high schoolstudent, that student sometimes consumes al-cohol. Graduation night is not the only dangerlurking, as everyone knows.

All night graduation parties provide not onlya safe place on graduation night, but also manyopportunities before and after to talk aboutdrinking and driving. There is no substitute forparents talking to their children about drink-ing, no matter how awkward, no matter how

many eye-rolls you must endure. Driving whileunder the influence, or getting into a car as apassenger with someone who is impaired, isnot the only danger of drinking, but it is oneof the most avoidable.

On graduation day in 2007, West PotomacHigh School endured the unimaginable trag-edy. Two young women who had graduatedjust hours before died in a car driven by an-other young woman who had alcohol in hersystem. The driver and another passenger, a2005 West Potomac graduate, also died in that

crash.If you’ve successfully raised a teenager

through high school graduation, it is unbear-able to think of losing him or her now. Talk.Tell them you love them. Tell them it’s beenway too much trouble to get to this point torisk losing them now. Tell them that you willcome and get them, without consequences, anytime they need a ride to avoid getting in a carwith someone who has been drinking and/orotherwise under the influence. Look them inthe eyes. Say the words.

Grant Leibow is joined by classmates Alex Frolia, Haley Holder, MichaelEvans, Alex Robinette and Cole Fleming in celebrating Marshall High School’sgraduation Friday, June 14.

Letters to the Editor

Call to BanOutdoor SmokingTo the Editor:

As a teenager, I really dislikesmelling smoke from cigarettes,cigars, etc. I highly agree withStarbucks’ ban of smoking on theiroutdoor patios. The rest of thecommunity should consider ban-ning outdoor smoking also. Myfamily and I want to eat outside,but most times people are smok-ing. Sometimes, we go outside andnobody is smoking, but after a fewminutes, someone lights up.Breathing second-hand smoke isnot healthy for anyone, and din-ing outside is more enjoyable with-out smoke.

Alex CicchettoReston

Young RefereesFace VerbalAbuseTo the Editor:

Youth recreational basketballhas finally ended. These days, chil-dren can play in house leaguesfrom November through finalplayoff games in June. What theyneed and can’t play without how-ever, not counting coaches, leagueadministrators and venues, are thereferees.

My 18-year-old son has been ayouth basketball referee for thepast six years. At 12 he refereed

second grade boys and girlsgames. Each year he worked hisway up, reaching eighth gradegames this season. This year, healso spent $120 of his own moneyto join the Cardinal BasketballOfficial’s Association; a 10-weekprogram offering a blend of class-room and game-based learningthat is intended to get you readyto referee junior varsity highschool basketball.

It is a thankless job, and at timescan be stressful when dealing withspectators and coaches. What I’venever understood over all theseyears is the verbal abuse theseyoung referees experience fromcoaches and parents alike. Ap-proximately 75 percent of youthreferees quit within two years dueto this abuse. There would be no

games or leagues without a cadreof good, dedicated refs. Countlesstimes my son has been called atthe last minute to work a game.I’ve seen him sacrifice personaltime to make sure these games canbe played.

So think about that, coaches andparents, the next time you yell atthe ref. Leave the Bobby Knightantics for the college and progames. Nobody gets every callright, but it’s not for lack of train-ing or effort. In the end, it’s notabout wins and losses at this level.It’s about teaching children thefundamentals of the sport andmore importantly, some basic fun-damentals of life.

The Connection

Today, Henry Lopez hasa bright future, com-plete with a full schol-arship to college. It

wasn’t always that way, however,and he remembers being a pre-school student in a foreign coun-try, unfamiliar with the languageand culture, fighting to learn, to fitin, to avoid falling into a gang.

The Boys & Girls Clubs provedan invaluable help to him in thisstruggle, and Henry was actuallyjust selected as the Boys & GirlsClubs Youth of the Year for Districtof Columbia and Commonwealthof Virginia.

“For my family, the Americandream when we came here in 1999was survival,” said Henry, whograduated from JEB Stuart HighSchool in Falls Church last week.“In Guatemala, my parents realizedthat there was no money [or] op-portunity to obtain it, so the onlyway to care for my [family] was tocome to the United States.”

THAT DREAM has gone far be-yond survival, as Henry was ac-cepted into George MasonUniversity’s Honors College andawarded a full academic scholar-ship to the Fairfax school as a Uni-versity Scholar. Henry was one of 21 students se-lected from a pool of 1,500 appli-cants who were expected to “pos-sess exemplary records of academicachievement … demonstrate evi-

dence of intellectual vision, a com-mitment to the obligations of citi-zenship and the potential to over-come obstacles and solve challeng-ing problems,” according to An-thony Dyer Hoefer. Ph.D., the di-rector of Mason’s University Schol-ars Program and an Old Town Al-exandria resident.

His college application wasn’tthe first time he impressed GeorgeMason officials, however. Whilestill in the eighth grade, Henry wasaccepted into George Mason’sEarly Identification Program,which supports and enriches stu-dents who will be the first in theirfamilies to attend college.

“He was an exceptional first gen-eration college student,” said LewisE. Forrest II, the program’s execu-tive director. “Recently, I was look-ing over his eighth grade applica-tion and he stated that his numberone goal was to go to college. Notonly has he met that goal, he hasgained a positive reputation beforehe has even enrolled in classes hereat Mason.”

Henry graduated with a 4.3 GPAas a member of the National HonorSociety, as well as vice presidentof the JEB Stuart High School’schapter of the Spanish Honor So-ciety.

Among an exhaustive list of aca-demic and extracurricular accom-plishments, he also served on hishigh school’s Student GovernmentAssociation and ran on the varsitycross-country team. While he’sproud of his accomplishments, hegives much of the credit to the sup-

port he received from his parentsand the Boys & Girls Clubs ofGreater Washington (BGCGW),Farifax region located in FallsChurch, Mount Vernon andHerndon.

Henry says his appreciation ofhard work came from his parents:Emerita Lopez, who works as ahousekeeper, and Arnoldo Lopez,a day laborer.

“Witnessing my parents physi-cally push themselves every dayhad a tremendous impact on me,”said Henry. “I saw their situationand they constantly reminded methat they didn’t want me to cleanhouses or mow lawns.”

Emerita said she and her hus-band had loftier goals for Henry,his 21-year-old sister Yuri andhis 13-year-old brother William.“I came here with my husbandbecause it meant a much betterlife for my kids, but I had towork hard every day,” she said.

THE LOPEZ FAMILY moved tothe Culmore neighborhood ofFalls Church 15 years ago. It’san area with affordable housing,but also gang activity, so theLopezes found protection fortheir children in the form of theCulmore Chapter of the Boys &Girls Clubs.

“I start working at 8 in the morn-ing and finished at 8 at night,” saidEmerita. “I work as a housekeeperso we don’t have much money forbabysitters. I was looking for a safeplace for my kids while I workedlong hours. When [they were] at

the club, I knew that [they were]safe.”

Henry says that at the time, hewas unaware of the danger thatlurked in Culmore. “I had to growup at a young age,” he said.

The Boys & Girls Clubs not onlyprovided safety, it taught him todream. “It would have been veryeasy to be influenced by gang ac-tivity because my parents wereworking all the time,” he said. “TheBoys & Girls Clubs gave activities,provided me a place to go to learnabout college and explore careers.Had it not been for the Boys & GirlsClubs, I would not have had thevision of going to college.”

Wonhee Kang, regional directorof the Fairfax County Region Boys& Girls Clubs of Greater Washing-ton, has served an important role

in Henry’s life. “When I first methim, he was 4,” she said. “It wasright after he arrived in this coun-try from Guatemala. When he firstcame to the club, he didn’t speakany English. He was hiding and hewas very shy.”

Over the past 14 years, Kang has

watched Lopez evolve from thatshy little boy into an eloquent ora-tor and a proficient scholar. “I’vebeen watching him grow year af-ter year. He learned slowly aboutculture, culture of the club andcommunity,” she said. “There weretimes when he didn’t have appro-priate clothes for speaking engage-ments and competitions so wemade sure that he had a suit. I tookhim to our Youth of the Year com-petition in Newport News, Va., andthat was his first time staying ahotel. The kids may not have[much] financially, but these areamazing young people.”

Kang said that Henry was alwaysinterested in academics. “He en-joyed the power hour, which is timefor studying and homework. Thatmade him strong academically and

helped him earn a scholarship toGeorge Mason University. He gotinto five universities, but he got afull scholarship from George Ma-son.”

Henry was selected to speak atthe 28th Annual Tim Russert Con-gressional Dinner presented by the

Boys & Girls Clubs of GreaterWashington last month, an impor-tant annual fundraising event forthe Boys & Girls Clubs. Kang alsoinvited Henry’s entire family “be-cause this is a once-in-a-lifetimeevent for Henry.

It was the first time in Henry’slife his father was able to attendone of his activities. “It is not thatdoesn’t want to,” Kang said. “A lotof times his work schedule doesn’tallow it, but he is also afraid to goto events where the majority ofpeople speak English and hedoesn’t.”

Kang’s effort to ensure thatHenry’s family attended the dinnerproved to be a profound gesture.“I was overwhelmed the wholetime because I had never gone tosuch an elegant event,” saidHenry’s father, Arnoldo, through aninterpreter. “Tears could not stayaway as [Henry] spoke. It was hardfor me to believe that he was talk-ing in front of so many people.”

DURING HIS SPEECH, Henrytold the crowd about the chal-lenges he faced growing up in Vir-ginia as an immigrant with finan-cial limitations.

“Looking back, the Clubs taughtme to channel my responsibilitiesand develop a balance, providingme with a normal childhood. If itwere not for the Boys & GirlsClubs, I would not be pursuing ev-ery resource to make a better fu-ture for myself and others.”

Representatives from GeorgeMason were in the audience forHenry’s speech. “There were mem-bers of Congress, multimillionairedonors and representatives fromthe community who spoke,” saidHoefer. Henry, however, “was theone person who blew the crowdaway. People were teary and get-ting choked up. He’s the best ex-ample of what those programs cando for kids who don’t have oppor-tunities.”

When Henry begins college thisfall, he will be embarking on a life-time of potential and fulfilling oneof the first goals that he set for him-self. “The chance of college is a realopportunity and I’m willing towork for it,” said Henry.

“It is personal story for me, butit is [also] a story for other youthin search of the American dreameven if they have financial limita-tions.”

Rising to Boys & Girls Clubs ‘Youth of the Year’With the help of the Boys & Girls Clubs, a localimmigrant student has received a full college scholarship.

Henry Lopez (pictured here in Guatemala with his sisterYuri) moved with his family to Falls Church in search ofthe American dream. Earlier this month, he graduatedfrom high school with a 4.3 GPA, was awarded a fullscholarship to George Mason University and was selectedas the Boys & Girls Clubs Youth of the Year for District ofColumbia and Commonwealth of Virginia.

Town Center Gives Taste of RestonMore than 20 vendorsshow off signaturedishes at annual festival.

By Alex McVeigh

The Connection

Paul Jones of Reston has one secret to suc-cess when it comes to the annual Taste ofReston festival: where there’s smoke, there’s

food.“I follow the smoke because I’m mainly inter-

ested in anything that can be grilled,” he said.“Burgers, hot dogs, sausages, seafood, chicken,whatever it is, that’s my main goal while I’m here.”

Jones found plenty to explore during the eventat Reston Town Center, trying each one in turn.Over 20 vendors brought out their signature dishesto the festival, many more exotic than simplegrilled meat.

“I like to explore different things, things Iwouldn’t get at a normal barbecue, or somethingmy friends couldn’t prepare,” said JeffFitzsimmons of Herndon. “This year, my clearnumber one was the prosciutto-wrapped trufflefries from Paolo’s. They were amazing, and un-like anything I’d ever tried before.”

Other visitors tended more toward the dessertitems, such as ice cream, smoothies, gelato andmore.

“I’m here strictly for the sweets,” said Terri Graceof Herndon. “I’m the kind of person that will stickto funnel cakes and fried Oreos at a carnival soI’m easy to please. I absolutely loved the gelatofrom Pitango.”

George Rodriguez of Sterling has another strat-egy.

“My first stop is always the biggest line, whichdrives my wife crazy, but I figure by the afternoon,that’s the place that’s getting repeat business be-cause they’re good,” he said. “This year it was thePeruvian charcoal chicken, which I’m well famil-iar with from different places in the area. And thisone didn’t disappoint.”

While Market Street was lined with food ven-dors, various entertainment options were avail-able throughout. Stages at each end of MarketStreet, as well as at the pavilion had live music,dancing and other demonstrations throughout theday.

“I enjoyed some of the cooking demonstrations,particularly the lobster ravioli,” said Jean Murnauof Reston, who watched a demonstration by SteveBenincasa, executive chef at Paolo’s. “I don’t thinkthere are many people who are better qualifiedto show off a recipe like that, and I can use all thehelp I can get.”

Crowds line up to try the vendors at the Taste of Reston Saturday, June 15 atReston Town Center.

Experiencing All-American Football CampLocal players gainexposure to collegecoaches during campand develop skills forfootball and life.

By Andrew Miner

The Connection

Hundreds of high school foot-ball players took the twofields at Flint Hill UpperSchool for the All-American

Football Camp. There were participants, ris-ing freshman, sophomores, juniors and se-niors, from all across the mid-Atlantic re-gion including Delaware, Ohio and theCarolinas. They came and stayed throughthe varying weather conditions of desertheats and gushing rains to put in the effortand get better.

Over four hours of grueling position work-outs, offensive and defensive drills, and one-on-one they commanded the respect of thenumerous collegiate coaches in attendance.There were even two representatives fromthe Washington Redskins who helped coachthe offensive and defensive lineman. Overthe past two years, over 100 athletes whohave attended the camp are playing NCAAfootball, including 48 who received Divi-sion I scholarships in 2012.

Among those who have received a foot-ball scholarship is Lake Braddock quarter-back Caleb Henderson. The 230 pound, 6-foot-4 North Carolina Tar Heel commitjoked about turf toe and always vocally cel-ebrated enthusiastically when anyone madea big catch down the sideline during theone-on-ones, no matter who threw it.

IT WAS UNCERTAIN whether or notHenderson would be able to attend thecamp; however, he said that it was becauseof coach Kavanaugh that he came. “Thiscamp is really fun, I’m glad I came out to-day,” said Henderson. “I was debatingwhether to come because I just came backfrom the Elite 11 in Ohio yesterday, but Ihaven’t see coach K in a while. He’s a greatguy and I like him a lot.”

Another player who did not escape theattention of Kavanaugh was Centerville’slinebacker Chad Wiggins who runs a 4.67forty, stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 230pounds and is a top linebacker in the North-ern Virginia region. Wiggins’ favorite partabout being a linebacker is, of course, get-ting to hit people. Wiggins also loves the“exposure of the camp … hanging withthese guys and … show[ing] off what you’vebeen working hard for.” The LinebackerMVP of the camp, Wiggins is consideringVirginia Tech, yet wants to enjoy his seniorseason at Centerville first, looking forwardto “winning a state championship nextyear.”

Before the camp ended and the skyopened up there was what the players tookas the greatest drill of them all: the trenches.Here defensive and offensive linemenbattled mano a mano in a simulation wherea tackling dummy is used as the quarter-back. The goal is to either protect or attack.DeMatha’s offensive lineman Devante Foxdominated this drill and the one time hewas beat, sparking impromptu trash talkfrom his opponent. Fox silently answeredwith a swirl of his finger and pummeled hisovermatched defender to the floor the nexttime around.

IN THE FINAL CAMP MEETING atmidfield, Kavanaugh introduced pastor andKansas University’s character coach RandyBeeman to the group. Beeman stressed theimportance for young athletes to have theirlives in order, to prioritize and become menof character. He focused on the usefulnessof a guide, citing the Bible as his, and thenasked for a volunteer and for examples oftraits that men of character have. The vol-unteer was Jacob Atkinson and with eachtrait, integrity, trustworthiness, honesty,respect, and hence forth, Beeman place abrick in Atkinson’s hand. The student fromEast Christian Academy in Delaware and thecamp MVP held each five-stacked bricksbefore it became unstable and they fell tothe turf. The moral was to provide a real-ization that even having these traits of char-acter was meaningless without a solid foun-dation. A foundation, both Beeman andKavanaugh hope, that can lead to successlong after football.

The cornerbacks practice their footwork during specific position instruction.

Different from last week’s columnon the testing subject, “Full Circle,”this week’s column addresses anotheremotional battleground: the unknown.Other than selling computers out ofFrank Costanza’s house and reaching a“Serenity Now”-type nirvana witheach sale, outlets available to yourstruly – one of many terminal cancerpatients anticipating results from a CTscan of my lungs/upper torso, and inturn awaiting the electronic exchangefrom my oncologist advising me of saidresults – are difficult to come by. Andeven though I’m experienced at thisprocess, four-plus years and counting,literally; and accustomed as well to the“cycle of loom,” familiar it hasbecome; easier however, it has not.

In effect, this testing and waiting forthe results is its own test: of patience,self-discipline, endurance, forbear-ance; so I tell myself: “Serenity Now,”and hope there’s not insanity later, asthere was for Lloyd Braun on this mostmemorable Seinfeld episode.

However much I want to pretend,deny and minimize the significance ofthese results, the reality is, my life sortof depends on them. Moreover thedigital images that will appear on thecomputer screen in the doctor’s officewill indeed tell the tale, hopefully notof woe. Yours truly hemming and haw-ing and being asymptomatic are allirrelevant once the radiologist hits sendand the images/results end up in myoncologist’s inbox. That’s when therubber will truly hit the road and I willlearn if my future is now or later.

So you bet it’s a test, and it’s nostinkin’ multiple guess/multiple choicetest either. It’s a test of character, ofwill; you against yourself. And thoughyou’d like the best man to win and foryou to be the best man, the reality is:cancer may be the man and you maynot be. As much as you try, there’s aninevitability to science and medicineand not always does the best man win.Death and taxes are inevitable, as theold joke goes – for a reason!

Unfortunately, in many patients,cancer kills; it’s not a feeling, it’s a fact.My job as a cancer patient is to resistand not succumb to its devastatingdevices. Every day is a test, physicallyand especially emotionally. One’seffects I can attempt to semi control,the other, not so much. As I cyclearound to my next scan, I amreminded of how challenging thiswhole cancer trip has been. Andthough I’ve been there and been doingit now for nearly four and one halfyears post-diagnosis, each scan pre-sents new risks. For cancer patientsthough, these scans are a necessity oflife. Unfortunately – and this is ourharsh reality, they may also be a pre-cursor of death. Try studying for that.
