Celebrating the best in high-school theater,the 16th annual Cappies Gala will be heldthis Sunday, June 7, at 7 p.m., at The

Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. Westfield Highis up for nine awards for its musical, “Pajama Game;”Chantilly High, seven, for the play, “Radium Girls;”and Centreville High, four, for the musical, “Beautyand the Beast.”

Chantilly’s nominated for Marketing and Public-ity, Lighting, Sets, Makeup, Creativity: Music com-position, Lead Actress in a Play and Best Play, andTheater Director Ed Monk couldn’t be happier.

“We are very thrilled and honored by our nomina-tions,” he said. “The competition is so hard that justto get nominated is more than enough. We were es-pecially pleased that we got nominations in both theacting and technical categories because that meansthat everyone involved in the production was recog-nized.”

And now, said Monk, “All of the kids are lookingforward to getting dressed up and having a wonder-

ful night at The Kennedy Center. We are so blessedto have such talented, dedicated and really nice kidsas part of our department.”

Centreville Theater Director Mike Hudson is alsoproud of his talented actors and tech crew that madetheir production of “Beauty and the Beast” one ofthe most popular and successful plays in the school’shistory. And he thanked everyone who had a handin bringing it to the stage.

Centreville’s Nora Winsler received two Cappienominations, for Featured Actress and Comic Actressin a Musical. Joshua Ewalt also received two nods,for Male Vocalist and Supporting Actor in a Musical.

At Westfield, Theater Director Susie Pike congratu-lated all the participating schools on their “wonder-ful productions.” Westfield’s nominations are for:Returning Critic, Graduating Critic, Choreography,Featured Actor, Female Dancer, Male Dancer, FemaleVocalist, Comic Actress in a Musical, and Critic Team.

“My students worked hard on our show, ‘The Pa-jama Game,’ and I know all schools did the same,”said Pike. “I am so proud of our nine nominations. Iam especially proud of our critics team, ElizabethCoo, Catherine Crossett, Zoe Hawryluk, Eni Oyeleye,Morgan Perigard, Andrew Sharpe, Ruby Tippl, AlexaTucker and Diana Witt.

This group truly showed how working together andsupporting each other resulted in a positive and stron-ger team. The critics are the heart and foundation ofthe Cappies program.”

The Connection

As a major conduit betweenChantilly and Centreville,Stringfellow Road is heavilyused by area residents. It’s also

the gateway to four elementary schools, amiddle school and a high school, a regionallibrary, two parks, several athletic fields,churches, shopping centers and highlypopulated neighborhoods.

And now, thanks to a project that begannearly five years ago, people may travelseamlessly on four lanes between Routes50 and 29. And a ceremony last Tuesday,May 26, at Greenbriar Park officially markedthat milestone.

“Stringfellow Road is virtually completein its reconstruction and we’re here to cel-ebrate that,” said Bill Cutler, VDOT’s dis-trict construction engineer for Northern Vir-ginia. “We’re here to cut the ribbon on a$62 million improvement project along twomiles of Stringfellow Road. It connectsRoutes 50 and 29 and the I-66 HOV lanesand involves seven signalized intersectionsand many major utilities, including FairfaxCounty Water, Verizon, and Colonial andPlantation gas pipelines.”

The section of the road between I-66 andRoute 29 was four-laned in the 1990s byFairfax County’s Department of Transpor-tation. Now, the portion from I-66/FairLakes Boulevard to Route 50 has also beenwidened from two to four lanes.

The project also includes a 5-foot side-walk on the west side of Stringfellow, a 10-foot-wide path on the east side, signal im-provements at seven intersections, widecurb lanes to accommodate bicyclists, a new

bridge over Rocky Run, new left-turn lanenorthbound to Route 50, a modified south-bound approach to Route 50 to facilitatetraffic flow, drainage improvements andlandscaping.

“It’s already made our lives easier,” saidChantilly High Principal Teresa Johnson. “Itimproved people’s ability to get on and offschool property, especially for large events,and helps our kids get to school on time.”

“Ditto for Rocky Run,” said the middleschool’s principal, Anthony Terrell. “And thepartnership with FCPS, VDOT and the con-tractor, Fort Myer [Construction Corp.], hasbeen great. We met every two weeks andthey’ve been responsive to the needs of theschools. And now, I’m glad to see it done.”

Cutler said everyone appreciated “the lo-cal schools, parks, library and all the resi-dents and drivers along Stringfellow roadfor their patience and willingness to adaptto temporary traffic patterns for the [work]crews. This is also a significant improve-ment for cyclists and pedestrians.”

Stressing that the two, new lanes openedin December, six months ahead of sched-

ule, he said the road now carries 23,000vehicles per day and that number is ex-pected to increase. He praised Fort Myerand its subcontractor for completing thework on budget and said the project alsoimproved the parking lots at Poplar Tree andGreenbriar parks, the entrance to theGreenbriar Civic Assn. building and thestream connections at the new bridge cross-ing the Rocky Run stream.

Cutler thanked Fairfax County police forcontrolling traffic detours and lane changesduring construction, the county Board ofSupervisors for funding the project, VDOTpersonnel, plus KinderCare, theShenandoah Crossing and Villages of FairLakes communities and St. Paul ChungCatholic Church for their cooperation. Healso noted that “almost 100 parcels neededsome land obtained from them, and it tooka tremendous amount of community in-volvement.”

Del. Jim LeMunyon (R-67) thanked VDOTfor everything it did, and Del. David Bulova(D-37) reminisced a bit. “As a new driver, Iwasn’t allowed to drive on Stringfellow be-

cause it was narrow and winding,” he said.“And as traffic increased, it became a majorbottleneck. Thank you to everyone whomade this project a reality, and congratula-tions.”

“We’ve sought for a lifetime to makeFairfax County accessible between northand south,” added state Sen. Chap Petersen(D-34). “As a high school kid, I came outhere with my baseball team, and it was likedriving to the end of the world fromFairfax.”

State Sen. Dave Marsden (D-37) calledthe revamped roadway “a significant im-provement to traffic congestion” and saideveryone involved did “a wonderful job.”

Board of Supervisors Chairman SharonBulova said it’s a good thing thatStringfellow can now handle more trafficbecause, by 2034, it’s projected to carry33,000 vehicles a day. “It’ll be a safer road,”she said. “And it’s a real tribute to partner-ships between the community and differ-ent levels of government to make somethinggood happen.”

Supervisor Michael R. Frey (R-Sully) ex-plained some of the history. “When I workedfor [former Supervisor] Jack Herrity [in thelate 1970s-early ’80s], we did the 50/66study,” he said. “I came to a Greenbriar CivicAssociation meeting, and they didn’t wantStringfellow widened. Poplar Tree [Estates]didn’t exist then.”

He said the improved road “took a lot ofpeople working together, and there werehuge utility issues with these pipelines thatrun through here. When you think aboutthe magnitude of the problems, it really isamazing that we got it done.” Frey thenthanked county staff for its work and thesupervisors for “their courage” in puttingtransportation bonds to raise money to fundStringfellow on the ballot.

Also thanking all the stakeholders, Super-visor Pat Herrity (R-Springfield) said, “Thiswas a long time coming, but it was worththe wait.”

Opinion

The death rate due to heroin overdose more than doubled between2010 through 2013, according tothe Centers for Disease

Control (CDC), with an average in-crease of 37 percent per year in theUnited States.

What the statistics don’t say is that most ofthese deaths are preventable nearly to the lastbreath. Heroin and other opioids affect the partof the brain which regulates breathing, andopioids in high doses can cause respiratorydepression and death.

Naloxone, which is effectively an antidoteto opioid overdose, will completely reverse theeffects of an opioid overdose if administeredin time.

Emylee Lonczak, a McLean teenager whodied of an overdose in what was reported tobe her first encounter with heroin, might stillbe alive if the people with her at the time hadtaken her to a hospital or called 911.

New legislation designed to protect peopleseeking help for friends experiencing overdoseshould make it simpler to do the right thing.

State Sen. Chap Petersen sponsored the bill,Safe Reporting of Overdoses, which was signed

by Gov. Terry McAuliffe last week.“The next step is to get the word out to young

people: If a friend is in distress, you have aresponsibility and now you have legal protec-tions. Do the right thing. Make a call to save alife,” said Petersen said after the Governorsigned the bill.

The law also applies to alcohol overdoses.Petersen collaborated with a Fairfax HighSchool classmate, Gerald Lawson, now a pro-

fessor at Virginia Tech, in pressing forprotection for Good Samaritans inthese circumstances.

The Food and Drug Administrationlast year approved a hand-held auto-injectordesigned for family and caregivers who mightbe witness to an overdose to administer a singledose of the drug naloxone.

Safe reporting of overdoses SB 892,summary as passed.

Establishes an affirmative defense to prosecution ofan individual for (i) simple possession of a controlledsubstance, marijuana, or controlled paraphernalia; (ii)intoxication in public; or (iii) the unlawful purchase,possession, or consumption of alcohol if such indi-vidual sought or obtained emergency medicalattention for himself or for another individual becauseof a drug-related or alcohol-related overdose and if theevidence for the charge was obtained as a result of theindividual seeking or obtaining emergency medicalattention. The bill provides that the affirmative defensemay only be invoked by an individual who (a) remainsat the scene of the overdose or at any location to whichhe is transported for emergency medical attention untila law-enforcement officer responds to the report of anoverdose or, if no law-enforcement officer is presentat either the scene or the other location, cooperates

with law enforcement, (b) identifies himself to theresponding law-enforcement officer, and (c) cooper-ates, upon request, with any criminal investigationreasonably related to the drug or alcohol that resultedin the overdose. No individual may assert this affirma-tive defense if the emergency medical attention soughtor obtained was during the execution of a search war-rant or during the conduct of a lawful search or alawful arrest.

Chantilly

By Yvonne Nguyen

Hayfield Secondary School

Eerily stoic faces emerge from the darkness, hauntingly illuminated by a sick-ening green glow. Ghostly, detached

eyes stare blankly ahead, sitting passively infront of a backdrop of shocking news head-lines, outlining the sensationalized scandal ofthe decade.

Thus begins Chantilly High School’s produc-tion of “Radium Girls.” In a simultaneouslyheart-wrenching and captivating performance,Chantilly High School unravels the enthrallingtale of Grace Fryer, victim of radiation poison-ing at the hands of the U.S. Radium Corpora-tion.

Detailing a resilient fight for justice, the U.S.Radium Corporation’s attempt to suppress evi-dence, and the American public’s demand foranswers, “Radium Girls” by D.W. Gregory is anengrossing play based on a true story of mo-rality and guilt.

Set in the 1920s, “Radium Girls” premieredin 2000 at the Playwrights Theatre. Gregorywas inspired by the story of factory workers inNew Jersey who sued the U.S. Radium Corpo-ration after discovering that the paint they usedto supply the military with glow in the darkwatches was essentially toxic.

Already exposed to the radiation poisoning,these workers developed anemia, necrosis, andbone fractures. Following the corporation’s

attempt to bury evidence, the factory workerstook to the media, in what would become aniconic turning point for the worker’s rightsmovement in America.

The role of the protagonist Grace Fryer wasplayed by Mia Rickenbach. Filling an incred-ibly emotionally-demanding role, Rickenbachshowed excellent character developmentthroughout the show.

In the climax of the play, Rickenbach deliv-ered a haunting monologue, that would surelybe remembered by all present due to the pierc-ing quality of Rickenbach’s quiet intensity.

Opposite of Rickenbach was the perceivedantagonist of the play, Mr. Roeder (RyanRickard). Rickard’s ability to highlight the hu-manity in his character certainly paid off andhis expertise in capturing Roeder’s strugglewith his own morality showed theatrical ma-turity well beyond Rickard’s years.

In contrast, Diego Encarnacion’s portrayal ofMr. Markley as a cold and calculating villainwas also chilling.

Encarnacion’s body language and small man-nerisms helped immensely in establishing hiscommanding presence on stage. From the wayhe buttoned his suit jacket, to the way he pulleddown his cuffs, Encarnacion seemed to radi-ate confidence and dominate every scene thathe appeared in.

Chantilly High School’s greatest achievementwas their ability to capture the overall atmo-sphere and mood of “Radium Girls.” From the

intriguing headlines painted onto the wall, tothe distressed paint on the set, the audiencewas immediately able to recognize the toxicnature of the environment.

Furthermore, the ingenious use of crates in-stead of furniture provided a minimalistic feelto the show, a choice that worked well withthe plot.

Perhaps the most noticeable aspect of thestage was the array of cast members sitting onstage.

Rather than waiting backstage when not in-volved in a scene, the actors sat around thestage and simply watched the action that en-sued. This choice, along with the dissociatedexpressions on the actor’s faces made for anunsettling but ultimately thrilling effect.

Overall, Chantilly High School proved ableto comprehend the spirit of the play and trans-late that onto the stage. No weak link couldbe spotted, as each actor was equally commit-ted to his role and the illuminating stage pres-ence of the ensemble was an essential aspectof the play.

Tackling mature themes, such as the poison-ous effects of sickness and poverty on relation-ships, Chantilly High School put on a truly grip-ping performance, leaving the audience riv-eted.

The Cappies, “Critics and Awards Program,” is aprogram through which high school theatre andjournalism students are trained as critics, attendshows at other schools, and write reviews.

The Westfield girls’ lacrosse program graduated eight seniorsfrom its 2014 state championship team, including all-state

athletes Molly O’Sullivan, Meghan Heickand Rachael Ulsh

While the loss of talent and experienceled to some struggles during the 2015 regu-lar season, the Bulldogs managed to qualifyfor the state tournament with a 14-13 vic-tory over Langley on May 28 in the 6A Northregion quarterfinals.

On May 30, Westfield fell short in its ef-fort to advance to the region championshipgame, losing to Robinson 19-13 in the semi-finals at Robinson Secondary School. De-spite the defeat, several young Bulldogsshowed why Westfield has a bright future— and could make some noise at states thisyear.

Freshman attacker/midfielder NickiMcNamara scored a team-high five goals forWestfield and sophomore midfielder OliviaMarkert added four during the Bulldogs’

loss to Robinson on Saturday morning. Theyoung duo helped keep Westfield closeagainst a Rams team that entered the gamewith a 17-1 record, including a 21-5 vic-tory over the Bulldogs in the regular sea-son and a 20-15 win over Westfield in theConference 5 tournament semifinals.

McNamara scored Westfield’s first threegoals of the second half. Her fifth goal ofthe morning cut Robinson’s lead to 12-10with 20:06 remaining in the contest.

Markert scored two goals in each half. Herthird goal of the morning cut Robinson’slead to 14-11 with 15:57 remaining, but theRams scored five of the next six goals topull away.

“A lot of our young players have reallystepped up,” Westfield head coach KatieRuch said. “Olivia, a sophomore, had fourgoals, Nicki had five. They’re continuinggaining confidence and experience throughall this, as well.”

McNamara has been Westfield’s go-to goalscorer late in the season. Along with a sea-son-best eight goals during the Bulldogs’loss to Robinson in the conference tourna-ment, the freshman scored seven goals dur-

ing Westfield’s region semifinal win overLangley, which secured a state berth.

“Everyone let me in,” McNamara said ofher teammates’ acceptance during her fresh-man season, “andthen once I got alittle comfortableI started realizinghow I could helpand I just do ev-erything that I canto help the team.”

What makesMcNamara an of-fensive threat?

“I think her vi-sion of scoringopportunities andalso she’s fast andshe can also ad-just to whateverposition we puther in,” Ruch said. “… She’s coachable andthat makes a big difference in her wantingto get better because she wants to see howshe can improve and change for nextgame.”

Junior midfielder Angela Stevensonscored three goals for Westfield and juniordefender Sarah Horgan added one.

The loss dropped Westfield’s record to 9-7, but the Bull-dogs’ season re-mained alive.Westfield facedCentreville inTuesday’sregionconsolation game,after TheC o n n e c t i o n ’ sdeadline.

The Bulldogswill compete inthe 6A state tour-nament, whichbegins June 9 atLake BraddockS e c o n d a r ySchool.

“I know a lot of people looked at us like,‘Westfield’s lost all their talent, they won’tbe able to make it back,’” Ruch said, “andthat was a real motivator to be able to re-turn and defend our title.”

Frosh McNamara, sophomore Markert combine for 9 goals in region semis.

The Connection

It’s a familiar call. Thesun beams down frommid-summer sky.Temperatures rise

above 95 degrees Fahren-heit, but safety conditionsstart to plummet.

“People will have beenwalking on the mall all dayand then go to ArlingtonNational Cemetery to watchthe Changing of the Guardand they start to feel light-headed and dizzy,” said Lt.Sarah-Maria Marchegiani,spokeswoman for the Ar-lington County Fire Depart-ment. “The times that I’veresponded, they usuallyhave only one small waterbottle with them and they’vebeen in the heat all day. It’soften tourists, but peoplewho live here, too.”

While summer ushers in vacations, trips to the pool,barbeques and fireworks it also brings the potentialfor safety hazards. From recreational water illnessto heat-related illnesses, summer fun can turn into anightmare. Public health and safety officials haveseveral tips for lessening summer safety risks.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURE SPIKES, so does therisk of heat-related illnesses. Lengthy exposure to 90-plus degree heat can lead to heat stroke, heat ex-haustion cramping and, in extreme cases, death.

“Heatstroke can occur when the ability to sweatfails and the body temperature rises quickly,” saidKenya Fluellen, associate professor of nursing atNorthern Virginia Community College. “The brainand vital organs are affected as the body tempera-ture rises to a dangerous level.”

In addition to wearing loose-fitting clothes that are light incolor and taking breaks from theheat and drinking two to fourglasses of water for every hourone is exposed to high heat,health officials say applyingsunscreen, limiting physical ac-tivity and wearing a hat or using an umbrella to blockdirect sunlight should also be added to the list ofsummer safety precautions.

“People can underestimate the power of the heat.Safety is always our number one priority,” saidMarchegiani. “If you have an elderly neighbor oranyone with mobility issues, check on them, espe-cially when we have a storm and the power goesout.”

WHILE STRATEGIES for beating the heat includetrips to the pool and water parks, these cool-downactivities come with health precautions. Being awareof the potential for spreading germs can prevent rec-reational water illnesses, which can occur as a resultof swallowing or having other contact with contami-nated water.

Health officials advise swimmers to shower withsoap before entering a pool, take bathroom breaksonce per hour and take a rinse shower before re-turning to the water.

Washing your hands after changing diapers or us-ing the restroom and checking a child’s diapers ev-ery half-hour to an hour are tips that are also ad-vised.

Water safety is another summer concern. “Enrollchildren over the age of three in swimming lessons,”said Fluellen. “Don’t rely on lifeguards to watch overyour children.”

INSECTS ARE ANOTHER summer sighting thatcan be a prelude to danger. In fact, the Fairfax CountyBoard of Supervisors proclaimed June at Fight theBite Awareness Month. One bite from a disease-car-

rying mosquito or tick can leadto life-changing illnesses such asWest Nile virus or Lyme disease.

“Anyone can get infected withthese illnesses, but people overthe age of 50 are at greater ofdeveloping more severe forms,”said Joshua Smith, FairfaxCounty environmental health

supervisor. “We can find mosquitoes with West Nilevirus anywhere in the county that is why we encour-age people to take precautions.”

Those safety measures include eliminating stand-ing water, treating standing water and spraying youryard. Using an insect repellent containing DEET, re-maining indoors at dawn and early evening, and in-stalling, repairing or replacing screens on both win-dows and doors to keep insects outdoors are alsorecommended.

“It is important to use common sense, stay hydratedand respect Mother Nature,” said Kurt Larrick,spokesman for the Arlington County Department ofHuman Services. “And some groups are more at risk[such as] infants, teens, older adults, and those withcertain health conditions.”

Tips for averting summer danger.

Weight For It;Wait

Given some post-chemotherapy eatingchallenges I’ve experienced during the pastfew months, and the subsequent weightloss which has occurred, my oncologist hasprescribed Dronabinol, common brandname: Marinol. Dronabinol, a.k.a. THC, is“a man-made form of the active naturalsubstance in marijuana” synthesized tostimulate my appetite. It’s been my obser-vation over the six-plus years that I’vebeen a chemotherapy patient, that weightloss is a particularly worrisome indicator.Steps are often taken to make sure that thepatient – especially during the six-hours-per-day, three-days-a-week, heavy-dutychemotherapy often infused at the begin-ning of treatment – eats regularly andingests sufficient vitamins and nutrients.Though I haven’t suffered too much of late,other than the eating/tasting problem I’vedescribed, my oncologist was quick to thisfix. No eating is no good. And even thoughthe potential side effects: “dizziness,drowsiness, confusion, feeling ‘high,’ anexaggerated sense of well being, lighthead-edness, nausea, vomiting or stomachpain,” don’t exactly turn me on; neither dothey bum me out. I need to eat – doctor’sorders – so if marijuana pills are the ticket,then I’m ready to buy. Someone has to doit, and as a cancer patient/survivor tryingto stay in the game, these pills are a muchappreciated resource to help fend off anevil adversary.

This is a road I have been down before– in the 70s, but that was more of a pleas-ure trip. This is a completely different road– and trip, and therefore one that requiresthinking and treating outside of the box, ifnecessary. And since I don’t want to beboxed, I need to remain open to remediesand alternatives that might offer a glimpseinto a future that six years ago was notassured. In fact, assurances were the lastthing I was given. What I was given, as youregular readers know, was a “13-month totwo-year” prognosis with a corollaryadmission from my oncologist: “I can treatyou but I can’t cure you.” Having success-fully navigated an extremely bumpy roadsince February, 2009, I am still afraid formyself and fearful of my circumstances.Nevertheless, giving in is not an option.Nor is giving up. These pills are justanother addition to my ever-expandingarsenal (most recent additions: wheatgrass, beta glucans, dandelion root, milkthistle). This is a dynamic time in cancerresearch and when one considers the con-ventional along with the non-conventional,there are reasons for hope and dare I say,excitement, for our respective futures.

It’s ironic to consider that back in theday, smoking marijuana was thought topossibly contribute to or even cause lungcancer and now, decades later, it is beingprescribed by oncologists for their lungcancer patients to help them cope with theside effects of their treatment. When wefirst met my oncologist, it was mentionedthat I smoked pot in the 70s and perhapsthat was a cause of my current diagnosis.The doctor’s response was that he wasn’tinterested in the past; he was only inter-ested in the present/future and treating meforward. And so too have I embraced thatphilosophy. My life now is about securing afuture, not explaining a past.
