Statement from Active Nature, spon-sors of this year’s Great Falls Race:

“On July 11, 2013 at approximately3:45 p.m., two highly experiencedwhitewater kayakers put on thePotomac River at C&O Canal NationalHistoric Park.

“The two boaters, Will Seeber andShannon Christy, had the intention ofkayaking down familiar lines of theFalls. Together, they paddled down tothe starting area above the first drop....

“Shannon went first into the firstdrop of the Center Lines of the Falls,[called] ‘Grace Under Pressure.’ FromWill’s vantage point above, her entryinto the waterfall looked normal. Willfollowed approximately 15 secondsbehind Shannon, only to find no sight

of her at the base of the waterfall.“Will proceeded into the second section

of the Center Lines, ‘Ledges,’ thinking thatShannon had paddled down as if practic-ing a continuous run. While Will wasapproaching the final waterfall of CenterLines, ‘The Middle Finger,’ Shannonappeared, swimming out of her boat infull paddling gear.

“She was swept down the slide, ‘Holly-wood Boulevard,’ rapidly approaching‘Subway,’ ... a known deadly section of therun. The cause of Shannon’s swim isunknown. Will attempted to come to heraid, but could not reach her in timebefore the fast-moving currents pulledShannon into ‘Subway.’ Will paddleddown ‘The Middle Finger’ in order toattempt to rescue Shannon. There was nosight of her.

“Minutes later, her PFD and helmetsurfaced. ... After Will notified parkrangers and onlookers at the shore,rescue crews arrived via motorizedraft. Rescue personnel transported Willdown the river to Old Angler’s Inn tospeak with authorities. ...

“An extraordinary rescue effort wasthen led by professional kayakers,Steve Fisher and Jason Beakes. Thesophisticated effort was executed bynumerous kayakers who arrived on thescene to assist. Will returned to GreatFalls to help the other kayakers in therescue. The team was able to success-fully extract Shannon’s body from acatastrophic underwater pin in ‘Sub-way’ hours later.”

Shannon Christy, 23 of Greenville,S.C., died Thursday, July 11,kayaking the chutes of the PotomacRiver at Great Falls.

Christy “disappeared while going downthe falls and was pinned underneath thewater for a period of time,” according toMontgomery County Police Reports.

Police were called at 4:17 p.m.“Following an extensive search by Fire/

Rescue and the victim’s fellow kayakers, thevictim’s body was recovered from the riverby Fire/Rescue personnel,” according toreports.

Christy drowned the day before the 26thAnnual Great Falls Race, “a festival of topkayakers who celebrate and promote thePotomac River, the sport of kayaking, andthe large and diverse community of pad-dlers in the region,” according to the festi-val sponsor Active Nature. The race wascancelled, replaced by a memorial servicein honor of Christy for her family andfriends.

“We are saddened to have lost a dearfriend yesterday due to drowning at GreatFalls on the Potomac River,” according toan Active Nature statement. “ShannonChristy loved kayaking and it is throughkayaking that we honor her memory.”

Posted on Potomac Outfitters Facebookpage: “We lost an amazing member of ourpaddling community yesterday. Ourthoughts and prayers go out to the friendsand family of Shannon Christy.”

“She was a ray of light,” said Will Seeber,expert kayaker and Christy’s friend whospoke at the memorial service. “Everytimeshe met people and in every circumstance... she was positive and happy and literallylike a ray of light. That’s the feeling I keepwhen I think about Shannon.”

“For those who never got to meet Shan-non, here is an amazing video to give you alittle insight into the amazing human be-ing that she was as well as the incredibleimpact she had on our community even inthe end,” according to PotomacPaddlesports, http://vimeo.com/m/70285367.

THE POTOMAC RIVER at Great Falls,

class V-plus rapids, builds up speed andforce as it falls over a series of steep, jaggedrocks and flows through the narrow MatherGorge. The falls consist of cascading rapidsand several 20-foot waterfalls, with a total76-foot drop in elevation over a distance ofless than a mile. The Potomac River nar-rows from nearly 1,000 feet, just above thefalls, to between 60 and 100 feet wide as itrushes through Mather Gorge, a short dis-tance below the falls, according to the Na-tional Park Service.

Less than two months ago, on May 22,Montgomery County Fire and Rescue,Fairfax Fire and Rescue, National Park Po-lice from the Chesapeake and Ohio CanalNational Historical Park at Great Falls, and

the Potomac Paddlers Volunteer Corps,warned the public about the dangers of theriver.

“There’s a lot of undertow and undercur-rent,” said Caleb Lowe from MontgomeryCounty Fire and Rescue Services at thesafety event in late spring. “You can getsucked underneath and pinned underneathreal quickly.”

“Once you get down there, the force ofthe water and the current of the water willhold you and just stick you against therocks. There’s no getting out from thatpoint,” he said.

During the past three weeks, two youngmen swimming in the Potomac River gorge,where swimming is prohibited, havedrowned.

On Saturday, June 29, a 21-year-olddrowned on the Potomac River near BearIsland. Three of his friends attempted tosave him, but were unsuccessful. His bodywas discovered Monday, July 1. Accordingto Montgomery County police, the victimwas diving off the cliffs on the Virginia sideof the river when his friends noticed himgo under the water and not surface. Thevictim was identified as Vincent Crapps ofthe Third United States Infantry Regiment(The Old Guard), stationed at Fort Myer,Va.

On June 24, Ngo Tekwe Forchick, 19, ofTakoma Park, drowned after attempting toswim near Purple Horse Beach along theBilly Goat Trail with three friends. His bodywas discovered two days later.

In both cases, extensive rescue searcheswere conducted by land, water and by air.

THIS TIME of year causes the greatestconcern to park officials, since river levelsare high, summer temperatures soar, andlarge numbers of visitors flock to the river.

Historically, kayakers and paddlers are“the ones who respect the river the mostand know about the rivers’ currents anddangers,” Brent O’Neill, site manager atGreat Falls Park, said at the safety event atthe beginning of the season.

“Truthfully, there is a long history ofkayakers and canoeists who have saved livesby assisting a victim in the river,” saidO’Neill. “For instance, there have been in-cidents where swimmers or waders whobecome distressed in the river and the onlyhelp around at that moment in time is apaddler on the river who provides assistanceto land that person safely back on shore.Some stories are hair-raising accounts.”

The National Park Service and the localboating community partnered together toform a group called Potomac Paddlers Vol-unteer Corps to work towards safety on theriver. “We have increased visibly on the river,making contacts with park visitors engagedin risky activities on the river and savinglifes.”

“Respect the river, respect its power,”O’Neill said.

Crime: NBA Memorabilia Stolen in June

When Hurricane Sandyblasted through the Mid-Atlantic last year, Markand Sara Reges, owners of

Old Angler’s Inn received the call that theroof on their historic restaurant was leak-ing. When they arrived at the Inn, they dis-covered an amazing surprise. The constantdripping in their upstairs dining room wascausing the plaster to peel from the wall —but underneath was a picturesque mural ofthe C & O Canal, painted by Mark’s grand-father George Reges.

The multi-faceted George Reges was anattorney as well as an accomplished artistwho trained and taught at the CorcoranSchool of Art. After Mark’s father purchasedthe Inn in 1957 for his mother Olympiabecause it reminded her of her home inMacedonia, George Reges decided to painta mural of his beloved C&O Canal in theupstairs dining room. Olympia Reges de-voted her energies to restoring the Inn’scharming setting, the hospitality, the finefoods and carefully-chosen beers, wines andliquors.

Olympia Reges gained fame in 1962 whenSupreme Court Justice William Douglasmarched members of Congress up the C&OCanal to demonstrate the beauty of the en-vironment and the need to keep the canal.Congress wanted to destroy the canal tobuild a super-highway.

The tired and very dirty hikers, accom-panied by a large press corps, arrived at OldAngler’s Inn for lunch. Taking one look attheir filthy appearance and muddy fishingboots, Olympia refused to allow them toenter because she had just had new rugsinstalled in her restaurant.

Her husband George Reges was on a casein Miami. He awoke to front page headlines

stating, “Innkeeper’s Wife Refuses JusticeDouglas Entry into Restaurant.” The storyappeared in every major newspaper in theU.S. — and Olympia Reges became famousfor standing her ground. She was the pro-prietor of the Inn through the 1980s — andwhen she died in 2005, her grandson andhis wife, Mark and Sara Reges took overownership along with back taxes and badlyneeded repairs. They have restored OldAngler’s Inn to its previous glory.

The first Old Angler’s Inn was opened in

1860 just as the Civil War was beginning. Itwas built to offer respite to travelers in car-riages and on horseback journeying to andfrom the nation’s capital. The Inn, locatednext to the C & O Canal and near Great Falls,was also a summer destination to escapethe muggy temperatures in D.C.

During the Civil War, couriers and offic-ers often stopped at the Inn to dine or for agood night’s rest after their travels. In 1864,gold was discovered by a California soldierwho returned after the war to operate a

mine successfully there until 1880. One ofthe owners of the gold mine was so appre-ciative of the fine food and the many hoursof good company he found at the Inn thathe presented the proprietor with a set ofsolid gold fishing hooks fashioned from theore of the mine. It is after these hooks thatthe “Order of the Golden Hook,” whichmakes its headquarters at the Inn is named.

Mark Reges remembers stories of hisgrandfather painting the mural in the din-ing room. “He loved the C&O and oftenfished the river. His fishing rod still hangsin the cocktail lounge of the restaurant. Myfather hung it up there soon afterGranddad’s death. George got great plea-sure from painting the mural — and he alsodesigned the original sign and logo for OldAngler’s Inn.”

The Regeses have enlisted the help of TheHeights School teacher John Folley and sev-eral of this year’s graduates to work on un-covering and restoring the mural. Folleyexplained the process: “We are removingthe plaster very carefully with water andchisels. We are being exceptionally carefulto protect the paint on the mural. We havenow uncovered several paintings — and webelieve the mural goes all the way aroundthe room. Uncovering this piece is truly ex-hilarating.”

Henry Song, Daniel Lulli and MichaelKolb are three Heights students who gradu-ated in June. Folley asked them to helpuncover the mural this summer since theyare all talented artists who have studied artwith him for several years. “This is a ter-rific opportunity to learn about restorationprocesses and architecture,” he said.

Lulli is enthusiastic about the project.“Each time we approached an uncoveredportion of the mural, I remembered the re-corded thoughts of Michelangelo and howhe saw figures in every block of stone andcarved until they were set free. As I lookedback on the walls previously masked byexterior paint and plaster, I smiled at thefigures and landscapes we had set free.”

The restoration is in progress upstairs inthe Inn’s front dining room. Old Angler’sInn is located at 10801 MacArthur Blvd,Potomac, and their telephone number is301-365-2425.

Enticing children to forgo strawberry-fla-vored candy and choose fresh fruit in itsnatural form can be challenging. After all,lemonade, popsicles and cookies with milk

are considered summertime classics.Some local culinary enthusiasts say there are an

abundance of summer treats that can be made athome and keep children fueled and healthy all sea-son long, however. They offer several suggestions thatare ideal for after-camp snacks or whenever themunchies hit.

“When I think of healthy eating and kids and sum-mer, the first thing I think of is fruit,” said AndreaNelson of Creative Kids Kitchen in Arlington. “Be-yond the natural sugar factor, most fruit has as muchvitamins as a vegetable.”

One treat that tops Nelson’s summer treat menu isfruit gazpacho. “It is made with a medley of fruitslike watermelon, blueberries, honeydew melon. Ifyou have a particularly picky eater, you can pureethe fruit. You can involve the kids by getting them tohelp wash and cut the fruit.”

Christine Wisnewski, an instructor at CulinariaCooking School in Vienna, also recommends mak-ing use of the bounty of fresh fruit available duringsummer. “Sliced peaches or nectarines with a dollopof sour cream and a light sprinkle of brown sugarare a sweet, tangy treat. Or sweeten some Greekyogurt with a little bit of honey and use it as a dipfor strawberries,” she said.

Nelson turns the abundance of blueberries that arenow available into blueberry biscuits. “They are su-

per easy to make and blueberries are inexpensiveright now,” she said. “I also make baked strawberry,banana and quinoa muffins using nonfat Greek yo-gurt. They are healthy and gluten free.”

Nikki Drummond of Tiny Chefs Cooking School inPotomac, Md., and Arlington, Alexandria, McLean,Oakton and Springfield, uses her classroom to offerchildren alternatives to prepackaged, sugar-ladentreats. “We make fun fruit kabobs with a yogurt dipmade with plain low-fat yogurt and honey and cin-namon,” she said. “The kids cut up the fruit so theyare having fun.”

Drummond also teaches students to make a healthydessert using uncooked oatmeal, wheat germ andchocolate chips. “We call them breakfast balls, butyou can keep them in a container and kids can snackon them throughout the week,” she said.

To cool kids down after a day of playing in thesun, Wisnewski offers homemade frozen bananas andsorbet. “[To make] frozen bananas, halve a bananacrosswise, insert a popsicle stick in the cut end, freezefor one hour,” she explained. “Dip frozen bananas inmelted chocolate. Only dip one side if you want tolimit the chocolate, then dip bananas in fun toppingslike sprinkles, toasted coconut, chopped nuts, orcrushed cookies.”

To make sorbet, Wisnewski combines fruit andsimple syrup. “To make a simple syrup, [use a] one-to-one ratio of sugar to water and bring to a boil todissolve sugar,” she said. “Reduce heat to very lowand simmer 10 minutes. Cool, combine syrup withpureed summer fruit. Try berries, peaches or man-gos. Add a pinch of salt, and a squeeze of citrus juice.Chill until the sorbet mixture is very cold.”

For those who want culinary simplicity during thesummer, Wisnewskii said, “Fresh cherries or grapesheaped in a bowl of ice are more refreshing thanthose served alone. Even the largest watermelon dis-appears quickly and keeps kids hydrated when lefton the counter for snacking. Some people opt for asprinkle of salt on their watermelon.” For a moresophisticated palate, she suggests adding a squeezeof lime, or a small sprinkle of mild chili powder orcumin.

Campers at Summer at WES inBethesda, have a knack for busi-ness, and for philanthropy, as well.

In five camp sessions this summer, they willdonate hundreds of dollars to House WithA Heart senior pet sanctuary, located inGaithersburg. The camp session, titled“Mind Your Own Business,” exposes thechildren to all the elements it takes to bean entrepreneur and run a business. Thisyear they are making snow cones and sell-ing them to fellow campers for $3 each. Thesound of the ice shaving machine alerts thecampers, hot from their daily activities, tothe sale twice a week right after lunch.

“The kids come up with a plan, decide ona product to sell, and put the whole thingtogether to make a profit,” said Camp Coun-selor and Washington Episcopal Schoolteacher Brian Belstock. “They chose a goodcause to donate their profits to, whichmakes it even more worthwhile. It involvesteamwork, a lot of effort, and a little math— counting money, making change, anddetermining what the profits are.” Counse-lor in Training (CIT), 15-year old ElenaKozak explained that the “campers makeflyers on MACs to promote our snow conesales. Last year we even made a commer-cial.” Amy Lewis, 16, has been with thecamp for 11 years and is now a CIT. Sheadds that “This experience really shows [thekids] how to run a business. We all get so

excited about making $100 but then wehave to deduct our costs, so our profit ismuch less.” Camper Emelia Isola, 10, saidshe loves that fact they are helping old dogs.

I imagine most of you readers arefamiliar with the phrase, “Hocus-Pocus,”the magician’s nonsensical expression ofsleight of hand, as words spoken andarms waved as the rabbit wiggles out ofthe magician’s hat, among other deeds/extractions of “wow!” The idea being totrick, deceive, obfuscate and ultimatelyamaze the audience into believing theunbelievable and to not see what theyshould be able to see.

“Focus-Pocus” is this cancer survivor’ssleight of brain – as I refer to it, as Iattempt to live longer and prosper with-out paying too much attention to theundeniable fact that I have a terminal dis-ease: stage IV, non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC), one that kills way more than itis cured. I have found however, that livingin dread – and in acceptance of my pre-sumptive reality/status, is no good for myhead (emotionally/mentally speaking) so Itry to deviate, whenever possible, fromthat norm and not conform, and hopethat living is indeed its own reward.

Oh sure, I scan the weekly Health &Fitness section in The Washington Post,especially if there’s a cancer reference; ifsitting and waiting somewhere wherereading material is present, if there’s alung cancer-related article, I will read itimmediately; and if there’s a segment ontelevision concerning cancer, I will watchit or record the program to watch later. Idon’t exactly live under a metaphoricalrock, but nor can I make cancer my life’spursuit, as odd as that may sound; sincepresumably, I am pursuing life despite thefact that having cancer is definitely havingsome say in that matter.

Thinking positively and keeping mysense of humor are the two most effectivetools in my anti-cancer arsenal. Employ-ing these weapons of mass (as in tumors)destruction are what I live for: Duh! Sodoing, and assimilating this figurativeweapon array into my attack requires verylittle, really; this is my personality and mynature, so it’s no particular challenge. It’swho I’ve been, it’s who I am, it’s just me.Still, as many of you know, cancer has away of intervening, especially physically,but most assuredly, mentally as well. Itcreates darkness and fear and anxiety andall the less-than-ideal characterizationsyou can imagine – whose intrusions youare often powerless to stop. Yet somehow,you must.

In the nearly four and a half yearssince my diagnosis, I have tried to defendagainst them. Occasionally by embracingthem, but more often, as is the subject ofthis column, by ignoring the reality ofthem, almost like a magician attempts todo with his audience; that what you see,what you get, is not necessarily what youfeel – or so I tell myself repeatedly. Andthough it might seem difficult to trickoneself as easily as it might be possible,with a wink and a nod, to trick another, abetter-than-expected life expectancymight depend on it. And at this juncture,having outlived my original prognosis bymore than three years, I don’t see anyreason to change my focus.
