The Connection

Bob Simon’s wife Cheryl Terio-Simon wrote a letter that wasread aloud at the candlelight vigilheld Friday, Sept. 26 at Lake

Anne Plaza in honor of Reston’s founderwho died earlier in week.

“Community is what it is all about,” wroteCheryl. “Thank you for your many expres-sions of love and support for Bob.”

More than 500 people gathered to expresslove of Reston’s founder Robert E. Simonand to offer thanks for the impact he’s hadon Reston and all of its people.

“He was always there to talk to you, hewas so curious until the end,” said KarenCleveland. “We’re here tonight to celebrateBob, to thank him, because he’s given usthe biggest thing he ever could, Reston.”

THE PLAZA was filled Friday, in front ofthe stage, by Simon’s statue, by the waterand the restaurants.

“Bob loved Lake Anne Plaza,” wrote hiswife.

“I am a kid of Reston. My dad [PatrickKane] was a city planner and he scoped itout; he knew he wanted to raise a familyhere,” said Leslie Kane. “I always knew howimportant he was, but until this week Inever realized how many lives werechanged by him.”

Kerrie Wilson, of Cornerstones, calledFriday night’s vigil the first celebration ofBob Simon’s life.

“Thank you, Bob, for Reston,” she said.Tim Ward, pastor of Restoration Church,

said Simon would have enjoyed this timetogether. “Bob enjoyed people getting to-gether on the plaza,” he said. “So manypeople have been deeply, deeply impactedby his life.”

Casey Veatch called himself and LeslieKane the original Kids of Reston.

Kane, who still lives in Reston, says she

always saw Simon walking around LakeAnne Plaza. “It was fun to watch him pathimself on the head,” of the statue built inhonor of Simon and his vision of the pla-zas. “Thank you, Bob Simon, for an amaz-ing childhood,” she said.

“That guy never stopped and we lovedhim for sure,” said Veatch. “Two weeks ago,I sat up with him in his room and I can as-sure you that his mind was as sharp as itever was.”

Veatch told the well known story of Simonconfronting a mob boss who then calledSimon, “one tough son of a ….”

Veatch and Kane gave voice to the socialexperiment of a planned community thatwelcomed all people of all backgrounds andall economic situations.

“I didn’t know racism or discriminationexisted until I went to college,” said Kane.

“None of us understood what racismwas,” said Veatch.

Amanda Indri, also of Cornerstones,warned the crowd.

“Don’t tell anyone, but I grew up inHerndon,” she said. “But that’s what Restondoes to you. It invites you in.”

The Reston Museum is going to give ad-ditional chances for Restonians and othersto share stories of Reston’s founder.

“I can not tell you what a gift this is thatthe community can come together,” saidpastor Tim Ward.

Mosaic Harmony and Reston Choraleteamed together to sing, “This Little Lightof Mine, We’re Going to Let it Shine.”

THE CROWD surrounded Lake AnnePlaza, candles shining along the water bySimon’s condo building. Hundreds filled theplaza with light and sounds of appreciationfor Bob.

“We will light the candles to remind ofBob’s bright light, to remind us of the im-pact he had had on us,” said Ward.

Ward could be heard singing among thecrowd, “This little light of mine, we’re go-ing to let it shine.”

And with that in mind, Kerrie Wilson saidthere is still more work to do.

“Bob lay the perfect foundation,” she said,“but not everything was perfectly imple-mented the way he wanted.”

“He leaves it in our hands to make it hap-pen,” she said.

About 500 people filled Lake Anne Plaza last Friday night for a candle-light vigil to remember and celebrate Simon’s gift to and of Reston.

Saharnaz Farivar, an architect and planner, takes a long look at thestatue of Bob Simon. “He was definitely my mentor. He was completelyavailable 110 percent all the time.”

Hundreds turn out to expressgratitude for Robert E. Simon.First Celebration of Founder

News Robert E. Simon

1914~2015

Saturday, Oct. 10, 4:30 p.m.Reston Community CenterHunter Woods2310 Colts Neck Road, Reston

Robert E. Simon was a foundingmember of The Reston Chorale in1967. “Bob’s commitment to estab-

lishing Reston as an integrated communityin the early 1960s — a time when segrega-tion and racial deed restrictions were preva-lent — was the inspiration behind the con-cert when we began planning it last sea-son,” said Ruth Overton, president of TheReston Chorale. “We wanted to honor Bob’svision and integrity, and Reston’s pivotalrole as Virginia’s first integrated commu-nity.”

More than 165 singers and musiciansfrom The Reston Chorale, Mosaic Harmonyand D.C.’s historic ShiIoh Baptist Churchwill sing in a concert dedicated to Simonon Oct. 10. The concert is called, “Wade inthe Water: Songs of Freedom, Faith andFriendship.”

The three choirs will sing African Ameri-can inspirational music from songs thatbrought hope and sustenance to slaves asthey longed for and made their way to free-dom to songs that inspired freedom fight-ers of the Civil Rights movement, Overton

said.As plans for the concert progressed, tragic

events in the news—from Ferguson, Balti-more and Charleston—also influenced itsshape. “That’s when it expanded to includesongs of friendship,” said Rev. David North,director of Mosaic Harmony, “because wewanted this concert to be an expression ofunity in the midst of diversity, with eachensemble bringing something special to themix.”

Mosaic Harmony is a multi-faith, multi-cultural community choir based in Fairfax

County that sings inspirational music basedon the gospel tradition.

David Lang leads The Reston Chorale, anauditioned, mixed-voice chorus known toperform a wide range of musical genres.

Dr. Thomas Dixon Tyler leads The SeniorChoir of historic Shiloh Baptist Church ofWashington, D.C.

“When we began planning this concert ayear ago, we were inspired by Bob Simon’scommitment to creating Reston as an inte-grated community, so we reached out toseveral other groups to produce a concert

of inspirational African American music,”said Susan Meeks-Versteeg, managing direc-tor of The Chorale.

Rev. LaVerne M. Gill, host of Reston’s Af-rican American Legacy series, will serve asthe narrator for the concert.

“The first half will open with the com-bined choirs — 165 voices strong — sing-ing a piece based on the spiritual Walk To-gether Children, followed by each choirperforming several selections on their own,”said David Lang, artistic director of TheReston Chorale. “In the second half, we’llmix it up—literally—with the choirs unit-ing and merging into one massive chorus.Then we’ll get the audience involved, withRev. North leading us all in a few old—andperhaps even new—songs.”

Said Lang: “There’s a movement in TheEssential Life—a work by DonaldMcCullough that the Chorale commissionedand sang for Reston’s 50th anniversary andBob Simon’s 100th birthday—based on AmyLowell’s poem Market Day. It describes thedoors of a church opening wide and thesound of this magnificent music spilling outand filling the square with ‘vibrant har-mony.’” “Bob would have loved this concert.He won’t be in his usual place in the frontrow, but he’ll be in our hearts,” said RuthOverton, president of the Reston Chorale.

A year in planning, Simon will not be infront row for concert, but will be in hearts.Dedicated to Bob Simon

It’s sad to see senseless death as a re-sponse to senseless death. Alfred R.Prieto is not a sympathetic figure, a se-rial killer who was on death row in Cali-

fornia when DNA connected him tomurders and rapes in Reston and Ar-lington that took place in 1988. He isscheduled for execution this week, at 9p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1.

Evolving standards of decency have led tothe understanding that it’s wrong and uncon-stitutional to subject people whose crimes werecommitted when they were juveniles or peoplewith intellectual disabilities to the death pen-alty.

The Arc of Northern Virginia, an advocacygroup for people with intellectual disabilities,asked Gov. Terry McAuliffe to send Prieto backto California so that his intellectual disabili-ties, raised in the sentencing phase of his trial,

could be analysed. McAuliffe has declined tointervene in Prieto’s case. It was a Virginia case,Atkins v. Virginia, that led the U.S. SupremeCourt to rule that execution of people withmental retardation is unconstitutional.

Prieto was sent to Virginia to face trial eventhough he was already on death row in Cali-fornia because of the belief, clearly correct, thathe would be more likely to be executed in Vir-ginia.

Over time, it seems clear that evolving stan-dards of decency will end the death penalty in

the United States. The number of deathsentences has dropped dramaticallysince 2000, and executions have de-clined as well, from a high of 98 in

1999 to just 35 in 2014, the lowest in 20 years,according to Amnesty International.

Prieto committed heinous crimes, and releas-ing him from prison should never be an op-tion.

Warren Fulton and Rachel Raver were lastseen around midnight in Washington, D.C. onDec. 2, 1988. The two George WashingtonUniversity students, both 22, were found deadDec. 6, 1988 in a field off Hunter Mill Road inReston. Both were shot in the head. Raver hadbeen raped. Investigators believed they had

been abducted and forced to drive to the re-mote location. DNA evidence linked Prieto toRaver’s death and to that of Veronica Jefferson,a 24-year-old CIA finance officer who wasraped and shot to death in Arlington Countyin May 1988, although he was never tried inthat case. A Fairfax County jury sentencedPrieto to death in 2006.

The murders and rapes were unsolved for17 years until 2005 when California’s DNAdatabase joined a national database.

— Mary Kimm

Changing Perspective on Death PenaltyEvolving standardswill eclipse the deathpenalty entirely at somepoint in the future.

Vigil to OpposeDeath Penalty

Virginians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty willhold vigils around the state on the evening that AlfredoPrieto is scheduled for execution, Thursday, Oct. 1.

Arlington Vigil in opposition to the death penaltyOct. 1, 8:30-9:10 p.m.Clarendon Metro Station. The vigil will be held in

the public park between Clarendon and Wilson Bou-levards, right behind the Metro exit. Attendees arewelcome to bring signs with appropriate, peaceful,anti-death penalty messages.

Letter to the Editor

By Kenneth R.

“Ken” Plum

State Delegate

(D-36)

One of theearly ritesof passage

for me and those ofmy generation was toget a driver’s license. I waspleased to run errands for thefamily, and my parents weregenerous in allowing me to usethe family car for school andsocial events. Now I understandthat about a fourth ofmillennials are not even both-ering to get a driver’s license.

And whenyou con-sider howmany com-

munities are developing bytransit oriented development(TOD) principles, there is lessof a need to own or lease anautomobile. These shifts in liv-ing patterns have significantpublic policy implications.

Already with the opening ofthe Silver Line to Reston East Ihave another alternative for mytravels. Within a year residentsin the new apartments underconstruction by Comstock at

Reston East Stationwill be able to takethe elevator down tothe plaza to the bus toDulles on the SilverLine to points east in-cluding Maryland.For weekend travel, aZipcar or other hourlyrentals are available,and a bicycle provides

good healthy exercise. A newhourly car rental system allowsyou to leave the car at your des-tination without the need to re-turn it to where you picked itup. Some suggest that thedriver-less vehicle is not that farin the distant future, and withthe rapid advances I have seenin recent times I believe them.The traditional taxi system gota jolt with the introduction ofUber and other companies thatuse drivers and their own au-tomobiles to transport passen-gers. The Virginia General As-sembly passed legislation thisyear to establish a legal frame-work under which the compa-nies can provide service to con-sumers in a safe and legal way.I would guess that there is likelyto be a melding of these twobusinesses in the future to pro

To the Editor:This week, two iconic people,

who affected my entire life, passedaway — Robert E. Simon, and Dr.Glynn Ford. To know why theyimpacted my life, I must tell mystory.

The death of Martin Luther King,Jr. sparked riots throughoutUnited States. A man sat in Balti-more, watching violence come upto his doorstep, and vowed not toallow his family to live amongstthis rage. In 1968, my father cameto work at Scope.

A very different time period,where does a black man move hisyoung family to keep them safe,but not isolated and threatened ina white only community? At theburgeoning Tysons Corner, he wastold, “We don’t rent to youpeople.”

Going west, the $150 rent atCameron Crescent seemed exorbi-tant, but he stayed in this historicplanned community developed byRobert E. Simon.

He also joined Washington PlazaBaptist Church, where Dr. Fordwas the pastor, both landmarks atLake Anne. Little did he know howforward thinking and life chang-ing this decision was.

I lived in Reston until I gradu-ated from South Lakes HighSchool. Since 1985 I have lived inHampton, Maryland, New Jersey,

and now, Los Angeles. I have al-ways had trouble finding places tolive because I grew

up in a place called Reston. Iassumed, every town aspired to bea close diverse community, withtrees, no power lines, greatschools, and neighbors with beau-tiful lawns and no stripes paintedon their homes.

Our closest friends were fromWPBC, and I had a diverse groupof friends throughout my highschool education. We still commu-nicate on Facebook, waxing poeti-cally about what an impact Restonhad on us. We post pictures ofgroups of kids of all ethnic back-ground, bunched close togetherpreparing for Homecoming. Mean-while, today all over the country,we hear about white only proms,and hate speech. I was the firstblack, female Drum Major atSLHS, but I never felt my racewould preclude me from thatachievement. I was never calledthe “n” word, although my neph-ews have been called that todayin neighboring counties.

I am shocked that not one whiteor Asian person lives on my streetin Los Angeles, and am disap-pointed with the overt segregationin Los Angeles. I am glad Restonin no way prepared me for that.

Reston has inspired me to seek

Plumvide more convenient car ridesharing.In the short run I understand the inter-

ests of persons dependent upon automobiletravel that our roadway surfaces be repairedand that traffic congestion be reduced. Wesuffer from more than a decade of refusalon the part of the legislature to provideadequate funding for highway constructionand repair. During that time I co-sponsoredand voted for many bills only to see themdefeated. Technological advances are help-ing to reduce congestion with better traffic

light systems and with regulated traffic sys-tems as has just been introduced on I-66.

These improvements must take into ac-count the bigger picture of transportation.Road improvements must include bicycletravel lanes. Mass transit will need subsidyjust as our roads are subsidized. Public andprivate incentives need to be offered for car-pooling, and the use of transit. TOD mustbe given priority. Our public policy on trans-portation must recognize that there aremany different ways to go.

rounded me in my youth. And I always finda swimming pool! So this writing is a cel-ebration of the early influences in my life,brought to me by Mr. Simon and Dr. Ford.Reston was not a panacea, there wereglitches here and there. But the overarchingexpectation was to live and create some-thing wonderful together. Even today, when

I drive down the dark Reston streets I knowlike the back of my hand, I marvel at itsuniqueness. I smile remembering mybrother and I singing out “R-E-S-T-O-N, N-O-T-S-E-R!” as we passed the big Reston signon Route 7.

So I wish to say thank you to these twopeople who both left us this week. You aregone, but not forgotten. And for that rea-son, Reston will always be my home.

The Connection

Get ready for a winningmusical evening withsongs ranging from hu-

morous tales of an unforeseencrush at a local Starbucks, towhom not to date, along withnumbers about profound pangs ofcaring and affecting love ballads.It is a performance all connectedwith lively patter from cabaretperformers, Marcy Heisler andZina Goldrich.

With a musical style that mixestimeless Broadway and unforget-tably pop; the duo’s songs havebeen sung by stylists as diverse asKristin Chenowith, AudryMcDonald and Michael Feinstein.In an evening aptly called “TheMarcy & Zina Show” they willcover lots of ground about theirown real-life reflections towardlife and love.

Heisler (lyrics) and Goldrich(music) have received a DramaDesk nomination for OutstandingMusic and Lyrics and penned thescore for the “Great AmericanMusical” a recent musical love-let-ter to Broadway. They are recipi-ents of the “Fred Ebb Award,” rec-ognizing excellence in musical the-atre songwriting.

They are no strangers to the D.C.area, having received a HelenHayes Award nomination for the-ater excellence for “Snow White,Rose Red and Fred” when per-formed at the Kennedy Center.

According to Goldrich, their“writing process is like a tennisgame.

As the words person, Marcyserves first, generally, and we go

back and forth exchanging ideasas we go. We like to write every-day things. Nothing is funnier thanreal life.”

The duo writes about things“that everybody recognizes in theirown lives that make a song uniqueand yet completely familiar,”added Goldrich.

Asked about their CenterStage

show, “We like to treat the eveninglike we are singing in our livingroom with a bunch of friends. We’llsing songs we’ve written, tell somestories, and give a sneak peek intonew productions we’re workingon,” said Heisler.

To whet audience appetite,Marcy and Zina can be expectedto include “Taylor the Latte Boy”(a Starbucks cute meet), “Alto’sLament”(why do sopranos get thegood songs?) numbers from “EverAfter” their musical version of theDrew Barrymore “Cinderella” filmand many more.

Marcy and Zina are “great fansof the Reston area and look for-ward to sharing” their music withthe CenterStage audience.

Locked andLoaded

And into the breech (not to be confusedwith breach), I went earlier today. It wasn’texactly the Charge of the Light Brigadewhen breach might have been the moreappropriate characterization, it was simplymy annual MRI, when the doctors check tosee if the cancer in my lungs has spread tomy brain, which in 30 percent of thepatients – the highest percentage of spreadin fact – it does. So today, I had my headexamined: a checkup from the neck up.Though I’m mostly asymptomatic – asusual, other than a few random headachesreported by yours truly; nothing chronic ordebilitating, no pain or suffering, no dizzi-ness or disorientation – it made for a pru-dent course of diagnostic action, nonethe-less. I’m not really worried about theresults, more like wondering, if that dis-tinction even makes sense. Still, I’d just assoon not complicate my life any furtherright now. It’s all fairly manageable.Involving my brain, “what there is of it,” (aThree Stooges quote) however, wouldlikely force us to confront new demons:demons which at present are mostly con-fined in their box (compartmentalized inmy head, actually).

Now whether our feelings are the resultof a possible occurrence in the brain sim-ply being new and different or whether itsappearance there would indeed be worse,we certainly don’t know, but for some rea-son, it seems worse than a finding in thelung. Not that stage IV lung cancer is to beminimized in the least; hardly, it’s a “term-inal” disease; and not that I understandany more about brain cancer and theblood-brain barrier or treatment complica-tions it can cause or can reference any sta-tistical outcomes that support or confuseour feelings more than I can about thenon-small cell lung cancer with which I ammore familiar, our perception is, a confir-mation of tumor activity in the brain wouldlikely upset the very delicate balance ofour figurative apple cart. An apple cart Iwill readily admit we’ve gotten used tobalancing.

But I’m getting ahead (no pun intended)of myself. My oncologist was not anticipat-ing much new information from this MRI,nor was he reacting to my symptoms asmuch as he was mindful of the interval oftime since my last MRI: one year or so. Idid/do take some comfort in his noncha-lance. Although, reading a doctor’s expres-sions or body language or attempting tointerpret and understand their reasons andexplanations for making certain medicalsuggestions is akin to taking a Rorschachtest: you might see or hear what you’repredisposed to – or not. There may besome fact and/or some fiction to consider,but who knows exactly what and whenany of it is relevant or accurate? It mightsimply be a curiosity. But I have to tell you,a “curiosity” is the last thing a “terminal”patient wants to hear or perceive from hisoncologist. I want the truth – as I’ve alwaystold him, and anything to do with the braintruthfully makes me feel unlocked,unloaded and in trouble. Maybe “breach”is the more appropriate word. I suppose I’llknow soon enough. I’ll just have to bepatient. Something I’ve been very good atbeing for six years and seven months,exactly.
