hen she speaks to school
groups, Miss Virginia
Caitlin Uze has a powerful voice. It’s one that has
a slight lisp, but it’s also one that carries
a great deal of grace and confidence. As
a child in Arlington County schools, she
was teased by her peers. Then when she
began competing in pageants, competitors said she would never win because
of her speech impediment. The adversity
only served to make her stronger, and
last weekend she was crowned Miss Virginia during a ceremony in Roanoke.
“She won the competition because
she’s an outstanding young lady,” said
Booty Chewning, executive producer of
the Miss Virginia Organization. “She had
the poise to win, and she speaks so well.”
Turning the setback of her speech impediment into an advantage, Uze often
speaks to schoolchildren about building
a positive self-image. It’s a speech she
perfected as Miss Greater Richmond.
Now that she’s taken the state crown, it’s
a message that she plans on spreading
through the commonwealth. According
to business manager Wendi Gruninger,
Miss Virginia is expected to make 150 to
200 official appearances.
“She’ll be very busy,” said Gruninger.
“Her schedule will include parades and
grand openings and hospital visits and

riences.
“I have had the
idea for many, many years and it sort of
evolved — it’s grown out of my own experiences,” said Chernush. An incident at a
dinner party in Paris in 1964 when a Frenchman verbally attacked Chernush, citing
America’s treatment of blacks prompted her
to ask him “in her college French” about
the poor treatment of Algierians in France.
“I had seen signs all over Paris of that and
without knowing a word of English he said,
‘Oh, I have nothing against the Algierians,
me myself, but I wouldn’t want my daughter to marry one’ and that made a huge
impression on me, that he didn’t know English and he was using the same expression

much more.”
A native of Arlington, Uze graduated from
Washington-Lee High School in 2006 and
began studying social work at James Madison University. She has one more year of
classes left, but that will have to wait because she’s taking a year off to fulfill her
duties as Miss Virginia. That includes living in a Roanoke apartment provided by
Pebble Creek Apartments, which will serve
as her headquarters to spread her personal
platform.
“Perfection is an illusion,” said Uze, 22. “I
want to be a role model that breaks the illusion of perfection.”
Uze said she developed the message after a chance encounter at a “Princess Night”
event at Chick-fil-A.
She was approached by a young girl who
had a hard time understanding how Uze
pronounced the word “sophomore.” Uze
asked the girl if she knew anybody who
spoke differently, and the girl began mak-
ing fun of a classmate named Josh.
“I told her how I was teased when I was
younger,” she said. “She was so surprised
by that because I was a princess in her eyes,
and she promised me that she would never
make fun of Josh again.”
The Miss Virginia pageant dates back to
1953, when the contest was first held in
Roanoke. Originally conducted in the ballroom of the Hotel Roanoke, the pageant
later moved to the American Theatre and
ultimately the Roanoke Civic Center. Three
Miss Virginias have gone on to be Miss
America: Kylene Barker in 1979, Nicole
Johnson in 1999 and Caressa Cameron in
2009.
“People have a misconception about pageants that the women don’t get along and
are catty to each other,” said Uze, who entered her first beauty pageant on a whim
three years ago. “But that’s not the case at
all. To me it feels like we are part of this
amazing sisterhood that’s putting on a
show.”

by a combination of growing ridership on key

the organization was counting up donations

Last Independence Day, 331 people in the

SoberRide program as opposed to possibly driving home drunk. A 60 percent increase in use
of the program since 2008 combined with a
35 percent decrease in corporate underwriting is threatening the free cab ride service to
prevent drunk driving.
Behind SoberRide’s services is a three-person charitable organization (WRAP) paying a
projected $73,000 in cab fares this year alone.
WRAP relies on corporate sponsorship to offset these costs, but the recent downturn has
contributed to the drop in funding.
WRAP is actively seeking contributors to
bridge SoberRide’s $31,000 shortfall.

Brewing Up More Choice
For years, restaurants
have catered to wine connoisseurs with tastings, pairings and alternatives. But
increasingly foodies are finding that some beers deserve same treatment as fine
wine, and some craft beers approach the same alcohol content as wine as well.
Americans are no longer limiting their beer choices; now hundreds of smaller
breweries have sprung up across the country offering a wider range of options for
the public’s palette.
Many stores and restaurants are also importing specialty beers from abroad
for their patrons. A few nearby restaurants have started hosting beer tastings,
where they pair their favorite specialty beers with dishes that will complement the
brews’ taste.
For local beer lovers, here are some best bets for a good selection.
G LYON HALL

and carries a wide selection of Belgian

Profile in Real Estate –
Brian Klotz
“Arlington is an extraordinary place to live and something I knew the
moment I arrived here 22 years ago,” said RE/MAX realtor Brian Klotz.
In fact, 10 years ago it was the sense of community here that led him
to transition from commercial real estate asset management to helping
friends and neighbors find a place to call home. “Whenever I travel
outside of the area, I’m reminded of how lucky we are to live in
Arlington and how fortunate I am to have a job that I love doing every
day.”
His move to residential real estate was immediately rewarding as clients turned to Brian for his advice and “no pressure” approach.
According to Brian, selling a home has many nuances from gauging the
unique characteristics of each neighborhood to overcoming the
objections to a successful sale before they arise – key to marketing a
property. “When working with buyers, I stress that they will know
when we find the right home, and it will hit them the moment they
walk in the door. I take pride in finding not only the right home,
but also one that is the right investment for my client. Homebuyers
should not settle for less.”
Brian graduated from the University of Pittsburgh, is a licensed
Certified Public Accountant (CPA), and RE/MAX Hall of Fame Club
member. Brian, his partner David and their Boston terrier Mr.
Magic reside in Arlington’s Country Club Hills.

Photographer Captures Perspectives of Prejudice
From Page 3
we heard here in the States.”
The Los Angeles native described her
childhood as “pretty normal” but admits she
was “desperate to get away” from the materialistic and superficial ethos of Hollywood and come east. Chernush attended
Sarah Lawrence College where one of the
writers she most admired, Joseph Campbell,
was her professor in her senior year. The
summer after graduation, she received a
Fulbright grant to spend a “life-changing
year” in India.
THEN INSTEAD of returning to the States,
Chernush spent 2 years living in Altea, an
idyllic fishing village in Spain, in a sevenroom, 500-year-old house, 100 yards from
the Mediterranean. During this time, “I had
this notion that I wanted to be a writer,”
she laughed adding, “the problem for me
was that I had too much training in writing
— I know what great writing is and I had
the idea of wanting to be a writer without
having anything to say at that time.” When
her savings ran out, Chernush went to work
for the Paris bureau of the New York Times.
In December of 1973 Chernush moved to
Arlington and took a job with the Peace
Corps as a public affairs writer. It was for
an assignment in the Sahel region of Africa
covering the drought that Chernush fell in
love with photography. “They said, ‘you
have to bring back pictures with your stories’ and I said, ‘No problem, I’m a competent amateur’ but in fact, I did not know
how to load a camera,” she laughed.
The self- taught photographer discovered
she thoroughly enjoyed her new role:
“Shooting was so liberating — I had no
training in it and no censorship.” Very early
on, she had photographs published in Life
and Time. In 1980 Chernush left her 9 to 5
“cushy” government job to see if she could
make it as a freelance photographer. She
said she has never looked back. Her assignments have taken her all over the world and
she has photographed more than 50 feature stories for Smithsonian Magazine.
Among her corporate clients are Microsoft,
Lafarge, and Intel.
WITH HER CURRENT exhibition,
Chernush said she hopes that people will
take the time to read the stories. On the
photos are self- descriptors of how the subjects see themselves; the text describes the
perception of others. “I decided to go with
what I was getting [from her subjects] because it was much more interesting than
my own preconceptions … I discovered that
prejudice comes in a context, it’s not just
being called a name … I wanted people to
know them and to know their stories.” As
one stands to read the text, “If you look
closely, you’ll see your own reflection, and

that’s meant to suggest that we all have biases,” she said.
Merian Sherrod, one of the participants
said she found the exhibition thought-provoking and intriguing, especially reading
what the other people had to say about their
experiences. “When I read my own account
of what happened, I realized I had set it
aside for so long, that I’d gotten over it to a
certain degree; however, when I read it and
saw the pictures in conjunction with everything else, I was so moved emotionally, almost to tears. It was very moving for me,”
Sherrod said.
“Our Jenkins Community Gallery is dedicated to showing work that represents the
diverse Arlington community,” said Claire
Huschle, executive director of the Arlington Arts Center. She added, “From the work
of local school children to projects coordinated by other non- profits, the work in this
space always reflects the things that are
important, in some way or another, to our
neighbors.”
Huschle said she’s impressed with Arlington County’s dedication to keeping the dialogue about diversity open. “Kay’s project
was funded, in part, by a grant from the
Arlington Commission for the Arts, which I
find to be a perfect testament to this,” she
said.
When Chernush who is Jewish moved to
Arlington in 1973, she said her relatives
were horrified.
“They said, ‘You’re going to live in Arlington, the home of the American Nazi party?’”
Since that time she has seen “phenomenal
changes” in Arlington: “The diversity just
really makes you proud — it really makes
you proud.”

Dominion Hills Warriors Mix Competition, Fun
Arlington swim team competes
in Division 8 of NVSL

hockey, lacrosse and basketball
along with swimming. Hockey is
his primary sport, but Morrissey

ophia Moses, 12, swims
year-round. Stephen
Morrissey, 15, is a summer-only swimmer. Each
has a different approach to the
sport, but each was having a good
time on June 28 as a member of
the Dominion Hills swim team.
This Monday meet at Lee-Graham Pool in Falls Church was for
development purposes and wasn’t
scored. The competitive aspect of
swimming for the Warriors came
two days prior, when Moses took
first in the freestyle and butterfly
in the 11-12 girls division, and
Morrissey was part of the winning
men’s 15-18 medley relay team
during a meet against Highland
Park (HP won 216-186).
The Dominion Hills Warriors compete in Division 8 of the Northern
Virginia Swim League. While upper
divisions (1, 2, etc.) are primarily
about competition, lower divisions
(through 17) incorporate a sense of
casual fun. With the Warriors being
in the middle, head coach Nina
Kuziel, who will be a counselor at
Washington-Lee High School in the
fall, deals with both aspects.
“You have to meet each swimmer where they’re at individually
and figure out what their goals
are,” Kuziel said. “Do they want
to have fun? Do they want to get
a personal best? Do they want to
be serious?”
Moses, who attends Swanson
Middle School, has been swimming with Dominion Hills since
the age of 6. She recently started
swimming year-round after previously competing in basketball and
tae kwon do. While she puts in the
time and effort to succeed — she
swims five or six days per week in
the summer and two or three days
a week in the winter — she also
swims for fun.
“I like it because there are a lot
of my friends here and I enjoy
swimming,” said Moses, whose
favorite stroke is the butterfly. “It’s
really fun because there are a lot
of team-building activities,” including a Jell-O tug-of-war and a
Jell-O slip-and-slide.
Sophia Moses of the Dominion Hills swim team.
said he enjoys the feeling of individual accomplishment swimming
brings.
“I don’t do many other [individual] sports,” he said, “so it’s fun
to race against other kids just for
myself.”
Morrissey’s favorite stroke is the
butterfly.
“I like when you take a breath
and you see all the other kids behind you,” he said, “and then when
you get out of the water and you’re
the first person to finish.”
Kuziel, in her second season
coaching the Warriors, described
Dominion Hills, which has 150
youths competing, as a friendly environment.
“I think this team is kind of like
a big family,” she said. “Everyone is born into it. They stick
around together. The whole
family stays there for a really
long time. I was coming in as an
outsider last year and I felt very
welcomed and part of the family, which was nice.”
DURING THE WARRIORS’
meet against Highland Park on
June 26, six Dominion Hills swimmers won multiple events. Gwen
Bobst finished first in the 13-14
girls butterfly and backstroke,
Grayson Jazwick won the 9-10
boys butterfly and backstroke,
Gregory Lemek won the 15-18
boys freestyle and butterfly, Kevin
Morris-Larkin finished atop them

Yorktown Boys
Soccer Ranked
By ESPN
Members of the Yorktown boys
soccer program were disappointed
with losing in the Northern Region
semifinals for the third straight
season, but the Patriots received
national recognition for their efforts in 2010.
Yorktown finished the season
ranked No. 22 in ESPNRISE.com’s
Fab 50 poll of the best prep soccer
teams in the country during the
spring of 2010. The team that
knocked the Patriots out of the
playoffs, McLean, was ranked No.
19.
Nine of the top 50 teams were
from Virginia, including No. 1
Frank Cox, the AAA state champion from Virginia Beach. Battlefield (Haymarket) was No. 14,
Stone Bridge (Ashburn) was No.
18, Blacksburg was No. 24, Deep
Run (Glen Allen) was No. 27,
Patrick Henry (Roanoke) was No.
49 and Mills Goodwin (Richmond)
was No. 50.
Yorktown finished the season
with a 14-3-3 record, winning its
fourth consecutive National District championship under head
coach David Wood.
Overlee Beats
Tuckahoe
The 2010 NVSL season kicked
off with the Overlee Flying Fish
welcoming the Tuckahoe Tigers
back to Division 1. Overlee
greeted Tuckahoe with a slew of
fast times and several recordbreaking swims to claim a 256-146
victory. The win moved the
Overlee dual meet win streak to
22 as they look to claim their fifth
consecutive Division 1 title and
27th overall.
In the Tuckahoe meet, Overlee
claimed event victories in 33 of the
50 events. The boys were particularly dominant as they won 22 of
25 events and outscored the Tuckahoe boys by a 157-44 score.
Each age group on the boys’ side
outscored their Tuckahoe counter-
parts. The 33 event victories included 25 individual event wins,
eight relay wins, seven double
winners, and seven sweeps.
Sweeps by the 13-14 boys and
the 15-18 boys in the freestyle
events led the way to a 55-35
Overlee lead. The 8-and-under
boys and the 15-18 boys swept
their backstroke events to help
stretch the lead to 113-67. In the
breaststroke events, the 9-10 boys
and 13-14 boys added sweeps and
the lead grew to 171-99. The 1518 boys claimed their third sweep
of the day in the fly events and
Overlee went into the relays with
an insurmountable 216-126 lead.
Eight relay wins completed the
morning and then both teams had
pizza on the deck.
With their three sweeps, the 1518 boys proved to be most dominant age group and won 36 of the
41 points available. They were followed closely by the 13-14 boys
who claimed 35 of 41 points. The
other age groups outscoring their
Tuckahoe opponents were the 8and-under boys (26 of 32), the 9See Sports Briefs, Page 20

10 boys (33 of 41), the 13-14 girls (27 of
41), the 11-12 girls (26 of 41), and the 1112 boys (22 of 41). Overlee had seven
double winners: Brady Almand (11-12 boys
free and breast), Ryan Baker (11-12 boys
back and fly), Suzanne Dolan (11-12 girls
free and back), Matthew Essig (15-18 boys
free and back), Nick Pasternak (9-10 boys
free and fly), Robert Ridgeway (8-and-under boys free and back), and Rachel
Robertson (13-14 girls back and breast).
Single event winners for Overlee included
John Aldinger (9-10 boys breast), Nicholas
Brooks (15-18 boys fly), Emma Day (9-10
girls fly), Jonathan Day (9-10 boys back),
David Emson (13-14 boys free), Jason
Henley (13-14 boys back), Paul Kinsella (8and-under boys breast), Michaela Morrison
(11-12 girls breast), John Murphy (13-14
boys breast), Kayle Park (9-10 girls breast),
and Kaitlin Wolla (15-18 girls fly).
Even though this was the first meet of the
summer, the Overlee record books took a
hit as several long-standing team records
were broken. Nick Pasternak’s 32.43 in the
9-10 boys 50 free broke the oldest record
on the board. The previous record (32.60)
was held by David Smith and was set in
1963 (an NVSL record at the time). The next
oldest record to fall was in the 11-12 girls
50 free where Suzanne Dolan swam a 28.78
to break the 1984 record (29.03) of Erica
Bledsoe. Two records from 1992 fell. Ryan
Baker swam a 31.58 in the 11-12 boys 50
back to top Adam Bronstein’s time of 33.48
from 1992. This also broke the pool record
previously held by Eric Nasakaitis from
Hunter Mill (33.62 in 2005). The final
record of the day fell when Kaitlin Wolla
swam a 29.83 in the 15-18 girls 50 fly to
break Stephanie Bower’s record time of
30.13 from 1992. This also broke the pool
record of 29.87 set by Katie Radloff from
Donaldson Run in 2007.
There will lots of Flyers when the Flying
Fish host the Flyers from Fairfax Station on
July 3 for the next Saturday meet.
Offutt, Baker Break
WGCC Records
The Washington Golf and Country Club
Lightning Bolts, the defending champions
of the Country Club Swimming and Diving
Association (CCSDA), defeated Congressional Country Club in their first DivisionA dual meet of the season on June 24. After trailing for much of the meet, the Lightning Bolts finished strong and eked out a
251-236 victory.
Alston Offutt broke the team’s 13-14 girls
50-meter breaststroke record — a record
that had been held since 1983. Ryan Baker
broke two records — the 11-12 boys 50meter backstroke and the 11-12 boys 50meter butterfly.
In addition to these impressive performances, Offutt and Baker were also winners in other events at the meet. Baker won
three events and Offutt won two. Other
double winners were Angus Ricks, George
Cranwell, and Richard Gentry. Single winners included: Sarah DiMeglio, Jillian
Johnson, Grayson Offutt, Mike Poppalardo,
Ian Stuver, Kirby Nassetta, Amanda
Didawick, and Drew Wallace.
With upcoming meets against Division-A
rivals Columbia, Edgemoor, and Kenwood,
the Lightning Bolts hope to continue their
winning streak. The team won all of their
meets last summer as they took home the
CCSDA Championship — their first since
1956.

Magnetic
Personality
By KENNETH B. LOURIE
This column is not about me. It is about nearly
every home I have been in (including my own)
and nearly every kitchen in any office where I
have ever worked, played or visited: magnets
abound, with their phone numbers ever present.
Local franchises of somebody’s favorite food: fast,
slow, Chinese, Italian; pizza, sub joints, sandwich
shops, etc. Ah, the memories. More importantly,
the reminders. Any and all magnetic comers, all
within easy, eye-viewing convenience, are encouraged to stick around.
What would any of us do without our magnetic maestros orchestrating our nearly every gastronomic move? Not that I, or the next person,
can’t think outside the take-out box (or need constant visuals), but when that box – make that a
rectangular or square magnet, has a phone number on it, and its position is level with your eyes
and placed in a can’t-miss location, it’s nearly
impossible to ignore its nudge.
Viewing these refrigerator adornments is somewhere between reading somebody’s tea leaves
and looking right into their soul. There is no pretense here. There is no attempt at subterfuge. It is
simply in your face, for any and all to see; what
matters, what matters not, and who it all matters
to: who to call and who’s calling whom.
Salesmen are encouraged (instructed might be
too strong a word) when they first arrive on site for
an in-person appointment, to look around, take in
the scenery, and to pay most attention to what’s
on the walls: diplomas, artwork, family photos,
memorabilia, as an informal way of gathering
information and arriving at an agreeable end; a
casual form of reconnaissance, you might call it.
It’s important to know something about the person/people with whom you’re speaking, and to be
keenly aware as well of what interests them. Your
intention is to get their assistance in order to get
their attention. It’s not complicated or difficult, it’s
informative and instructive. It’s common sense;
heck, it’s common courtesy.
Refrigerator magnets are simply smaller, more
concise versions/indicators of what you get from
what you see. They tell the tale of the tape. They
show what’s really going on, what every day life is
really like. Of course, they don’t explain or justify,
they just represent. Their appearance is not about
why, it’s strictly about how. They’re the nuts and
bolts, the guts, the grease that “wheels” the family/business to whatever it’s doing and however it
plans to get there: by maintaining the status quo
and/or providing a convenient blueprint for the
many mundane activities of daily living that matter
most and tend to last.
Magnets are a kind of modern day Rorschach
inkblot test, but without the abstract designs,
shapes, etc.; still subject to interpretation, though.
But to what end? Certainly one can interpret what
product-type service magnets mean and whether
they’re truly reflective of the personality of the
magnet owner or simply something used to keep
something in place and in sight, sort of like the
garters my father snapped in place on his calves to
keep his socks from falling down. He wasn’t making any kind of statement, he was simply solving a
problem with his socks. Nor do I think he was
passively-aggressively attacking the sock manufacturer for making socks that wouldn’t stay up. He
was just getting dressed for work.
Maybe magnets are today’s garters; they mean
nothing, they indicate nothing; they just solve
something. They’re a convenience; nothing more,
and probably a lot less. Still, I’m amused and
intrigued by them. Perhaps it’s their omnipresence
(or is that omnipotence?). If they weren’t everywhere, maybe I wouldn’t be so curious about their
underlying significance. They are more than a
novelty, more than capitalistic America satiating its
citizen’s every need. They are, to quote Artie
Johnson’s character, Wolfgang the German Soldier,
from Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-in (1967-1973):
“Verry interesting…but shtupid.”

Dunked by
Book Lovers
Principal Mary Begley got
dunked last Thursday, June
17, by a first grader at Arlington Science Focus School.
Begley agreed to the stunt if
the students read 10,000
books during school year.
They exceeded that goal by
500 books. Students selected
from classes with 100 percent participation got to
throw the baseballs at the
target. The reading challenge
was conceived by fifth grader
Julianne Meany as part of her
election platform during her
run for vice president of
Arlington Science Focus
School.
