Ready to DanceLike the DevilPotomac Fallsprepares forupcoming productionof “Damn Yankees.”

By Mike DiCicco

The Connection

If any potential audience members arenot die-hard fans of musical theater,then a love of baseball will draw theminto Potomac Falls High School’s up-

coming production of “Damn Yankees,” saidsenior Alex Beard.

In his 13th show at the school, Beard willplay the Devil, also known as Mr. Applegate,in this sports-oriented take on the legendof Faust. As such, he se-duces a middle-agedWashington Senators fan,Joe Boyd, into selling hissoul to become a youngsports hero. “The show isa conflict between me try-ing to win [baseball] andJoe wanting to go back tohis wife,” said Beard. “It consists of singingand dancing and the whole shebang, so it’sa big show.”

Applegate exploits Boyd’s contempt forthe New York Yankees and his weakness forApplegate’s beautiful cohort Lola in an at-tempt to devastate Washington Senatorsfans by taking the team to the pennant, onlyto lose to the Yankees.

Beard said he enjoys playing such an ex-

pansive and powerful character as the Devil.“Every time I look at my lines I get new ideasof what I can do onstage,” he said. “Everyday, I’m learning something new about mycharacter.” Then, there’s also the flash cot-ton he gets to use to send up towers of sa-tanic flame.

“It’s your classic feel-good musical,” saidtheater director Renée Haynes, adding thatshe had also been drawn to the play’s dancenumbers. But she said the major factor inher selection was gender. “It’s a really heavymale show,” she said. “I’ve just got phenom-enal male singers.”

HOWEVER, WITH a cast of 53, there isplenty of room for the girls as well. The mostprominent female character is the sultryseductress Lola, played by senior JillianHelms.

“I’ve always ad-mired this musical, sowhen they said wewere doing it I was ex-tremely excited,” saidHelms. A dancer andactor from the age of3, she said she hadwanted to play Lolasince she first saw the

play at the Kennedy Center when she wasin second grade. “She gets to be very strongand she gets to be kind of sexy along withbeing strong, and what more can you askfor?” Helms said of her character.

She said she had been working on hersinging chops in the school’s chorus forthree years in hopes of landing such a role.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, theshot fired into a Sterling Park homelast week appears to have been ac-

cidental.“We did locate an area where it appeared

somebody was discharging a gun, maybedoing target practice, at a tree,” saidSheriff’s Office spokesman Kraig Troxell.

“It doesn’t appear that it was an intendedshot,” said Troxell, adding that the incidentwas “scary nonetheless.”

A resident of the house on the 230 blockof Lincoln Avenue reported hearing a loudnoise and discovering the damage around2:30 p.m., shortly after arriving home.

two former governors, Democrat MarkWarner and Republican Jim Gilmore.

But many people wore the stickers ofGilmore’s opponent for the Republicannomination, Del. Bob Marshall (R-13),while participating in the Republican’s10th Congressional District conventionat Langley High School in Fairfax CountyMay 17. Gilmore and Marshall will face

off at the Republican Partyof Virginia’s state conven-tion in Richmond May 31.

“I like Jim Gilmore but Ithink Bob has a better chance of win-ning. … He doesn’t labor under the highnegative ratings that Jim Gilmore does,”

Cascades Connection Editor Jennifer Lesinski

703-917-6454 or [email protected]


said Republican Dick Black, former delegate ofLoudoun County.

WITH $1.1 MILLION in campaign contributions,Gilmore has raised approximately 23 times morethan Marshall. The former governor, having heldstatewide office, is also likely to have more namerecognition than the state delegate.

But candidates like Marshall, who has a strongbase of supporters among party conservatives, tendto fare better at conventions than in caucuses orprimaries. Conventions typically draw fewer partici-pants and a core group of backers can have greaterweight, according to political scientists.

Marshall’s local supporters said his principledstances on outlawing abortion and keeping taxes lowmake him an attractive candidate.

Fairfax County resident Ronald Wilcox called hima “tremendous hero” for leading the legal challengeagainst Gov. Tim Kaine (D) and the Virginia Gen-eral Assembly’s transportation plan last year. Theplan called for a regional tax-ing authority in Northern Vir-ginia was declared unconstitu-tional by the state SupremeCourt earlier this year, in partas a result of action by Marshall.

“He cares more about beingright than being loved,” saidWilcox, who lives nearChantilly and attended the 10thCongressional District conven-tion last weekend.

Many Marshall supporterssaid they were turned off byGilmore’s stance on abortion.Gilmore has stated publicly thathe does not think abortionshould be legally prohibitedduring the first eight weeks ofpregnancy.

“I don’t like GovernorGilmore’s stance on life issues. … A human being isa human being whether it is 7 weeks old or 9 weeksold,” said Paul O’Brien, a Marshall supporter andMcLean resident.

But most Marshall backers said they would sup-port Gilmore in the general election if the formergovernor were the Republican nominee.

“We need to support the most conservative candi-dates. … It is not really anything against JimGilmore,” said Wilcox.

GILMORE SUPPORTERS argued the former gov-

Weighing the NomineesPolitics

From Page 3 ernor has astrong record ontaxes.

“He carriedthrough on hispledge to endthe car tax,” saidDavid McWaters,who served onthe LoudounCounty Board ofSupervisors from1996 to 2000.

G i l m o r e ’ sviews may notbe as absolute asMarshall’s butthat is positivefor McWaters.

“Jim Gilmore ismore reasonable than Bob Marshall. Bob Marshall istoo extreme. … I like practical politicians,” he said.

Gilmore has argued on his Web site that he hasstrong record on abortion restric-tion. While governor, Gilmore sup-ported the 24-hour waiting periodfor women seeking an abortion. Healso banned partial-birth abortionsand required parental notificationfor minors seeking an abortion. Ac-cording to his Web site, Gilmorealso considers the U.S. SupremeCourt decision on Roe v. Wade“wrongly decided.”

Most Marshall backers also saidthey would support Gilmore if hewas the Republican nominee.

DESPITE THE DIVIDE over theU.S. Senate race, both Gilmore andMarshall supporters said theywould be backing incumbent U.S.Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10) in the up-coming Republican primary June

10.“Frank Wolf is a decent guy. He keeps the spotlight

on people who are suffering around the world. Hehas done a lot for Northern Virginia and deserves tobe re-elected,” said Charles King, a Loudoun Countyresident.

Wolf will face newcomer Vern McKinley in the Re-publican primary election on June 10. Though con-vention workers prohibited campaign signs from en-tering the Langley auditorium, a single large “Wolffor U.S. Congress” banner hung over the stage at thefront of the room.

as Joe Hardy, is among those who is drawn to theshow, and also to his character, by his own love ofsports. “It’s just a lot of fun because I can relate tohim,” he said of Joe Hardy. Butler said he also ap-preciated the Devil’s wicked dialogue and the show’smusical numbers, which he said are better than thosein most musicals.

The role is the first major lead for Butler, who is asophomore. The only tricky part, he said, was learn-ing the choreography, as his dance background is stilllimited.

Several supporting roles are also filled by 10th-graders. “I’ve got lots of young talent right now,” saidHaynes.

Taste of Farm LifeBy Leah Kieff

The Connection

The annual Spring Farm ColorTour last weekend began at theHeritage Farm Museum, whichis the county’s museum of agri-

culture. Since it opened five years ago,15,000 people have come through the mu-seum, most of those visitors have been chil-dren. They often come for school programsto help learn about Standards of Learningtopics, which include lesson plans on someof the exhibits. Heritage Farm Museum isalso available for birthday parties, wherethe children can enjoy the interactive partof the museum.

Inside the interactive portion of the mu-seum there is a barn where children candress in overalls, aprons and hats and milka plastic cow, whose udders yield water.They can also race pretend horses, one ofwhich is Genuine Risk, Loudoun’s most fa-mous horse, who was the 1980 KentuckyDerby winner and the oldest KentuckyDerby winner still alive.

There is also the Waxpool General Store,which is the general store that was in thisarea from the 1880s until the mid-1940s.When the general store was going to be torndown, it was taken apart and reconstructedit inside the museum. The store served all24 people who lived in the area in the 1880sand has some of the original merchandisestill in stock and all the records intact.

THROUGH THE self-guided farm tour,people are given an orientation to the farmsin the area. “Most of the people originallyin this area were farmers, specifically dairyfarmers,” said Mary Novotny, the managerof Heritage Farm Museum.

The tour take place twice a year once inMay and once in October. Many of the farmson the tour offer special events or free ad-mission during the weekend of the farmtour. “There are two farms that are particu-larly good for children, Great County Farmsand Ayrshire Farm. Great County Farms hassomething for all ages, it doesn’t just haveactivities for kids, you can buy a share ofthe farm and get fresh fruits and vegetablesthrough the year and they have a pick yourown area. Ayrshire is dedicated to promot-ing organic and alternative agriculture, thisis not usually open to the public and theyhave a restaurant and store.”

lifted by County Administrator Kirby Bowers, ef-fective immediately.

Prior to last weekend’s rain, the Dulles area hadreceived 5 inches of rain for the month of April. Asof last Friday, Goose Creek was flowing only slightlybelow its median flow and Beaverdam Reservoir wasnearly full. While measurements have not yet beentaken this week, it is expected that both reservoirsare full due to recent rain events.

Average daily demand in the Loudoun Water ser-vice area continues to hover over 20 million gallonsper day, and Loudoun Water is able to meet that de-mand without restricting use.

Residents are still asked to stagger their outdoorwatering schedule so that odd homes water lawnsWednesdays and Saturdays; even homes water lawnsThursdays and Sundays; and commercial customersirrigate Tuesdays and Fridays.

Fireworks Safety Although the July 4th festivities are several weeks

away, the Loudoun County Fire Marshal’s Office hasalready begun planning to promote citizen safetyrelative to the proper use of fireworks. Beginning inJune, various retail merchants, mainly housed inroadside stands or tents, will begin selling “permis-sible” fireworks throughout Loudoun County. Theseare fireworks that, according to state and local regu-lations, do not explode, do not rise into the air, donot travel laterally on the ground or do not fire pro-jectiles into the air. These permissible fireworks in-clude sparklers, fountains, cones and snakes. Theyare distinguished from other fireworks such as fire-crackers, Roman candles, missiles, bottle rockets andshells, which are not allowed in Loudoun Countywithout a permit. The 2008 list of permissible fire-works will be published by the middle of May.

Opinion

Ami Neiberger-Miller ofSterling lost her brother,U.S. Army SpecialistChristopher Neiberger,

in August 2007 when he was killedby a roadside bomb while servingin Baghdad, Iraq. He was 22 yearsold when he died.

“He was wickedly funny andempathetic,” Neiberger-Miller said,remembering her brother. “In manyways, I feel like I was just begin-ning to know the man he was be-coming.”

As we approach the seventh Me-morial Day since the beginning ofmilitary operations in Iraq and Af-ghanistan, we recognize that herein Northern Virginia, many local

families bear the personal sac-rifice that comes with the lossof life there. More than 4,075U.S. military members have

been killed in Iraq and more than 500 morehave died as a result of operations in Afghani-stan since Sept. 11, 2001.

Many local people have responded to theirloss by reaching out and helping others. Sinceher brother’s death, Neiberger-Miller has de-voted herself to the Tragedy Assistance Pro-gram for Survivors (www.taps.org), which pro-vides peer-based emotional support and otherservices for families of the fallen.

Scott Kirkpatrick, 26, died on Aug. 11, 2007,in Arab Jabour, Iraq. Kirkpatrick, who gradu-ated from Park View High School in Sterling,and also considered Herndon and Reston ashis hometowns, was a champion slam poet. Hisfather, Ed Kirkpatrick, wrote: “Those of us whoare already struck by this loss must add thenumbers of those who are wounded [to thosewho have died]. That far greater number andthe pain associated with it goes unnoticed andyet it is the one that is most alive around us.My wife and I try to help those at Walter Reedthrough the Yellow Ribbon Fund(www.yellowribbonfund.org). It was my son’swish that we help the families and soldiers whocome back wounded and we try to do all wecan to honor him and his last wish.” Many ofKirkpatrick’s friends also work to raise fundsfor the Yellow Ribbon Fund.

Beth and Michael Belle of Vienna are motherand stepfather of U.S. Marine Lance Cpl. Nicho-las Kirven, who, at age 21, was killed in Af-ghanistan in 2005 during a firefight in a cavewith insurgents. He enlisted while still in highschool after 9/11. Beth Belle was notified thather son had died on Mother’s Day. She alsohas a special bond with the mother of the sol-dier buried next to her son at Arlington Na-tional Cemetery; both mothers lost their sonson the same day. The other mother lives inConnecticut, so Beth brings extra flowers andtends to her son’s grave, as well as Nicholas’.

They also hold an annual golf tournament toraise funds for scholarships they distribute toremember Nicholas.

Xiomara Mena and Rafael Anderson ofVienna are mother and brother of U.S. ArmyCpl. Andy Anderson, age 24, who was killedby enemy fire during combat operations in Iraq.Rafael will soon deploy to Afghanistan withhis National Guard unit, and with his twinbrother Randy. Xiomara Mena is described asthe unofficial “mayor” of the section of Arling-ton National Cemetery where her son is bur-ied; she is at the cemetery every day.

More than 30,000 soldiers have beenwounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. More thana million soldiers have served in Iraq and Af-ghanistan in that time, with their lives foreverchanged by that experience.

Those serving in Iraq and Afghanistan arethere because of their sense of duty to servethe rest of us, to put their lives on the line todefend the country. They join more than 24million men and women, veterans, who havemade great sacrifice in serving in the military.

A good place to start in showing respect forthose now serving would be to provide themwith the equipment and services they needwhile they are there, and the services they willneed when they get home, including impec-cable, first class health care, and an expandedGI Bill that will provide a college educationfor every veteran who is so inclined.

HERE ARE the names of some of the localmen and women who have died in Iraq andAfghanistan. We repeat these names severaltimes a year to honor their service and to keeptheir memories in our consciousness.

If you know of someone who should be in-cluded in this list, or if you would like to sharehow you are honoring the memory of a familymember or friend lost, or about the progressof someone injured, please let us know.

The Jim & Ashley Cash Band per-forms original eclectic folk-rock.The music of this husband and

wife team is both environmentally andspiritually focused and offers a positiveoutlook on the challenges that currentlyface humanity. They are Potomac Falls resi-dents.

Introduce yourself:We are Jim and Ashley Cash, husband

and wife singer-songwriters and we per-form original eclectic folk-rock.

How did you get your start?Jim: My first guitar was gifted to me in

1995. Shortly following that I became aserious student of the guitar and gravi-tated toward the songwriting craft. I metAshley in the summer of 2002 while wewere both in college. Ashley had beenperforming in local coffee shops since shewas in high school. The day that I metAshley, I heard her sing and was blownaway by the power in her voice. We fell inlove, decided to put our talents to workand began performing together in 2004and were married in 2005.

What has been your best memorywhen it comes to music?

Jim: I was at a Carlos Santana concertback in 1997 when he was doing a ben-efit tour to help save music education.During the show Santana was speakingabout many of the great musicians whohave impacted our lives.

Interestingly, there was unrest in thecrowd. People did not seem interested inwhat he had to say and at one point actu-ally booed him, wanting him to just playhis music and be entertained. Most notablewas the mastery demonstrated by Santanain reaction to this. Instead of getting an-gry with the crowd he spoke with convic-tion and compassion about discoveringlife’s purpose and letting your light shinethrough even in the darkest of times. Hesaid, “You have succeeded if you have posi-

tively impacted just one person.” It wasin this moment I felt as if he was speak-ing directly to me, which provided mewith the inspiration to write music that Ibelieve in.

Describe your sound:Stylistically our music is interspersed

with elements of folk, rock and alterna-tive. We will often alternate betweenacoustic and electric guitars, which cre-ates a dynamic contrast that range fromhypnotic and introspective to energeticand empowering.

Biggest musical influences:U2, Peter Gabriel, Dave Matthews, Paul

Simon, Van Morrison, John Lennon, JackJohnson, Santana, Jackson Browne,C.S.N.Y. [Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young],Eva Cassidy, Joni Mitchell, TracyChapman, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, LedZeppelin and Michael Hedges.

Favorite pieces? Why?Our favorite pieces are, “More Than

This” by Peter Gabriel, “One” by U2, and“Imagine” by John Lennon because oftheir universal themes of love and com-passion.

Where is your favorite place toperform and why?

Currently, one of our favorite places toperform is Cameron Perks Coffeehouse inAlexandria. It is an artsy intimate settingthat is very comfortable and laid back.They have a separate room where theyhost live music and the acoustics are su-perb. We put on acoustic shows there oncea month.

Anyone you would really like toplay with? Why?

We would love to play with JackJohnson and Carlos Santana because theyare on the cutting edge of helping to in-spire change and doing a phenomenal jobreaching the younger generations.

Mastering the Garden

Janette Sawyer talks about native plants at the Master Gardener’s Demonstration Garden in Ida Lee Park.

By Matthew Razak

The Connection

Most people don’t know whata Liliaceae is but the LoudounMaster Gardeners do. Mostpeople aren’t sure which bugs

are good for their gardens but the LoudounMaster Gardeners do. Most people may notbe sure what season to plant bare-root berrybushes but the Loudoun Master Gardenersknow when. Luckily for every aspiring greenthumb and want-to-be horticulturalist theMaster Gardeners are here to help with anyquestions.

“We are educators and what we are tryingto do is promote and inform people aboutthe aspects of horticulture in our communityand help our environment. As a volunteerorganization we act as educators within ourcommunity,” said Karen Ohlgren, tenuredMaster Gardner.

The Master Gardeners are a group of vol-unteers who have received extensive train-ing in the world of gardening under the Vir-ginia Cooperative Extension, which is aneducational outreach program of Virginia’sland grant universities, Virginia Tech andVirginia State University. A new group gradu-ates each year after three months of in-depthtraining. Loudoun residents can get help fromthe Master Gardeners a variety of ways fromcalling in to the help desk to visiting theirdemonstration garden. This summer they willnot only be offering these year-round aidsbut also a series of fun classes in the Demon-stration Garden every Tuesday and once amonth on Saturday mornings through Sept.13. The next being May 27 on “How to PlantBeautiful Container Gardens with BarbaraArnold.”

The courses are free and open to the pub-lic and all taught by experienced Master Gar-deners. Courses are hands on and demon-strate a variety of gardening subjects thathelp the average Loudoun gardener. The May27 demonstration is a good example of thissince many residents live in areas withsmaller yards or restrictions on what they cando to their yard so container gardens aresomething they can do without taking up tomuch space.

“There are many people, who because theymight live in a very small community, theymight have restrictions on a big garden butthey can always plant something in pots ontheir deck so we encourage people to dosome container gardening,” said KristinWestfall who has been a Master Gardener for

The Loudoun MasterGardeners bringgardening help andfun to the county.

more than a decade.The Master Gardeners also offer more ex-

tensive classes and workshops the first Thurs-day of every month at the Extension Office,30 Catoctin Circle, S.E., Suite B, Leesburg.These are often hosted by respected individu-als in the world of gardening and horticul-ture or by Master Gardeners who have a fo-cus on a specific area. Ohlgren will be lec-turing at the next association meeting, June5, putting her background in biology to useby discussing common insects and the dif-ference between pests and beneficial bugs.These courses are often attended by MasterGardeners to learn more and further theirknowledge, but the main point is to provideeasy to access education for people who wantto garden.

“We have had people who have lived inthe city all their life and they move out toLoudoun and they buy 3 acres and they say‘Where do I start?’ or someone who movesfrom California and needs to learn garden-ing again needs a place to learn. Just beingable to ask questions and learn, you can bean absolute novice at gardening and you arewelcome into the program,” said Westfall.

RESIDENTS DON’T have to take coursesor even garden to enjoy the results of theMaster Gardeners’ work. In 1992 the gradu-ating Master Gardener class decided to builda demonstration garden where the publiccould come and enjoy an entirely organicgarden and the Master Gardeners could learnand work.

“It started out with just several beds withvegetables. Right from the start when thegarden started producing, our produce has

always gone to Interfaith Relief. One year wecontributed probably around 3,000 poundsof produce,” said Westfall.

The garden, located in Ida Lee Park Drivein Leesburg, is approximately 1/3 acre andfeatures raised beds and small-space veg-etable areas, a heritage garden highlightingsome plants from Virginia’s past, a children’sgarden featuring child-friendly plants andactivities, a shade garden created under pinetrees, a newly fashioned “wedding garden”perfect for special pictures, a butterfly gar-den and a fruit tree area. The public can walkaround, relax and have fun there.

“The children’s garden is really neat. It’sjust incredible this year. There is a little fairygarden, they can dig, there are tools for themand an alphabet thing with plants,” saidOhlgren. “We’re actually going to be startingonce a month with a children’s program withit. That’ll be a lot of hands-on activity.”

The children’s program, which begins June21 with some fun with wiggly worms, willbe offered monthly on Saturdays to corre-spond with the Saturday Morning in the Gar-den courses. Children will get to have somefun outside while learning about how plantsand gardens grow.

“I know, for me, that my gardening startedbecause my father had me along side of himwith my hands in the soil,” said Westfall.“Children can get interested in it and they’refascinated with the idea of watching a plantgrow and germinate.”

BECOMING A Master Gardener is not easybut it is something that anyone can do nomatter how green his or her thumb is. TheMaster Gardeners’ course runs once a year

beginning in February and runs for 10 weeks.Participants attend class on Tuesdays andThursdays and learn the basics of gardeningfrom how plants grow to the best ways togrow them. Cathy Anderson, a recent gradu-ate from the course, said that most of thelearning is done in the classroom but thereare many hands-on experiences. Each classteaches a different subject and prepares stu-dents to help residents with any gardeningquestions.

“The classes are Tuesdays and Thursdaymorning classes for almost three months. I’vealways been interested in gardening and Itook this course and just learned a vastamount of information. It was very informa-tive and it was fun,” said Anderson.

Once students graduate they must commit75 hours to volunteering with the MasterGardeners and the Extension Office. Thiscould be working at the demonstration gar-den or answering the Master Gardener’shotline. Even after becoming a tenured Mas-ter Gardener all members are required toparticipate at least 25 hours a year in orderto maintain their status.

All three women said that the program hashelped them make lifelong friends who areinterested in the same things they are. It alsogives them a chance to improve their owngardens and become more involved in thecommunity around them.

“I had been interested in getting involvedmore with the community and I wasn’t surewhich direction to go in and what would al-low me to have fun doing it. This just seemedlike a really useful way to share what my knowl-edge is and hopefully get people on a reallygood environmental track,” said Anderson.

Robert Barnovfsky is not afraid of the dark.In fact, the Claude Moore Park naturalistdoesn’t think anyone should be. That iswhy he will be running the Spring Owl

Prowl, May 31, at 7:30 p.m. The nighttime hike atClaude Moore Park will not only be a search for noc-turnal birds, but also a chance to getaccustomed or recognize all the won-ders of nighttime wild life.

“I want people to enjoy the night-time,” said Barnovfsky. “We’re day-active animals, even a person on thenight shift brings light with them.Not many people go out in the darkwithout any light and it’s a bit un-natural to us, but by not going out atnight you’re missing half the natural world.”

The program starts with a class where Barnovfskyteaches people how to hear and see in the dark. Hesaid that we can all actually see well in the dark aslong as there is some moonlight and that carrying aflashlight actually limits our ability to see the natureand wildlife around us. Listening is also important,in fact Barnovfsky has participants sit and listen tothe woods in order to understand all the wildlifearound them. People on the hike also learn how tolisten with directional hearing instead of just the di-rection our ears our pointing.

“We do something like fox ears where they listenin all directions and you think about the animals whoare out there at night and you adapt your hearing tohear all around you. We learn to line up your eyesand your ears. It’s hunting using your ears,” saidBarnovfsky.

ONCE PARTICIPANTS have their ears and eyesaccustomed to working in the dark, it is time to startfinding some night life. Barnovfsky says that there

Whose Afraid of the Dark?

Prowl is $5. The park islocated at 1544 OldVestal’s Gap Road in

Sterling. Call 571-258-3700 to register.

are plenty of local owl species and that the majorityof the trip’s participants at least hear owls in thewoods. Part of the trip is learning to identify differ-ent owls by their calls so that when you hear them atnight you know which one it is. Seeing owls is a bitof a different story as they are usually afraid of hu-

mans, but Barnovfsky said that they dosometimes make an appearance.

“We do try to call owls and sometimeswe get them and sometimes we don’t. Ilet the people on the walk try to call indifferent types of owls. I have a couplerecordings so you can hear what the realone sounds like,” he said.

The most important thingBarnovfsky said is to listen for the

tone of the owls. The smaller tones come fromsmaller owls and each owl has its own type of call.The main problem to spotting an owl is that it cansee us from 100 yardsaway and recognizeus as humans mak-ing owl sounds.Sti l l the mainpoint of the walkis to experiencenature at night nomatter what ani-mals may be seen.Barnovfsky evenrecommends thewalk for childrenolder than 7 as itis pretty calm andnever scary andteaches them tonot be so afraid ofnoises at night.

The Connection

All spring long, the Broad RunHigh girls’ lacrosse team hasbeen a dominant force withinthe Dulles District. So there was

every expectation for that trend to continueat last week’s district tournament.

And that is exactly the way things wentas the top-seeded Spartans won three con-secutive playoff games, including a titlegame victory over Potomac Falls, to gar-ner there third straight district tournamenttitle.

Broad Run reached the district finalswith convincing wins over No. 8-seed Free-dom, 21-2, and No. 4 Dominion, 14-6.Then, in last Friday night’s championshipgame versus Potomac Falls at George Ma-son High School, the Spartans came awaywinners again, defeating the No. 2 Pan-thers, 15-4.

Playing on George Mason’s nifty all-purpose athletic field, Broad Run, on acool, overcast spring evening, built anearly 3-0 lead and never was seriouslychallenged thereafter.

“Teams have been out to get us becausewe’ve won,” said Broad Run senior de-fender Krysten Johnson, of the challengethat comes with being the defending dis-trict champions. “But we really wantedit.”

Johnson was this season’s District Playerof the Year and a huge factor in the Spar-tans’ great success this season.

Next up for Broad Run going into thisweek was a Region II home playoff gameversus Rockbridge County High of Lexing-ton on Monday night.

The Spartans (15-3 overall record) arehoping to ultimately go as far or furtherthan last year’s Broad Run squad that wentall the way to the Virginia State semifinalsbefore finally losing to Oakton High.

“We’re very excited,” said Johnson, of thisweek’s regionals and the chance to put to-gether an outstanding postseason run. “Ithink we’ve got just as good a team this year,even better.”

Broad Run coach Jen Melhuish loves theteam camaraderie of her squad.

“We lost quite a few players from lastyear,” said Melhuish. “But we’ve been veryfortunate. We’ve got great girls and they’vemeshed together very well.”

IN THE FINALS win over Potomac Falls,Broad Run had a huge game from junior

midfielder/attack Meredith Rogers, whoscored six goals with an assist. Senior KatieMesmer had assists on four of Rogers’ goals,while also scoring two times herself.

Also contributing to Broad Run’s big scor-ing night were junior middie Kate Sistare(3 goals, 2 assists) and sophomore attackKailey Phillips (2 goals). Johnson andsophomore middie Nina Dunay both scoredas well and junior middie Samantha Lewishad an assist. Spartan junior goalkeeperAllison Bogle earned the win in the net.

Potomac Falls, also headed for regionalsas a result of reaching the district tourna-ment finals, was led by senior attackKathryn Baumgardner, who scored threegoals. Senior defender Katherine Dacanayalso scored for the Panthers, and senior at-tack Cerrena McNanley had an assist in thecontest.

Coach Melhuish said the Spartans wereconcerned about Baumgardner, the Pan-thers’ First Team All-District attack player.

“We wanted to watch her,” said the coach.“She’s one heck of an athlete.”

Baumgardner and her teammates wereset to travel to Western Albemarle High

(Crozet) for a region playoff game on Mon-day of this week.

THIS HAS been a breakthrough season forPotomac Falls and head coach AllanDacanay (13-3). The Panthers, prior to thisseason, had never before played in a dis-trict title match. And this is the Titans’ first-ever region playoff appearance.

“We didn’t know how we’d be at the be-ginning of the season,” said coach Dacanay.“We came together as a team and reallyworked hard in practice. That’s why we didso well.”

Dacanay said the team’s strong springseason has drawn the attention of the localcommunity. He said Potomac Falls has agood youth feeder program in EasternLoudoun Lacrosse. That should mean abright future for the program.

Potomac Falls reached the district finalswith playoff wins over No. 7 Briar Woods,13-6, and No. 6 Heritage, 11-10.

In the championship game, coachDacanay said his team struggled early onin such areas as connecting on passes. ThePanthers were coming off the hard fought,down-to-the-wire semifinals win over Heri-tage.

“The Heritage game was a really toughgame,” said Dacanay. “The girls gave it allthey’ve got. They were exhausted.

“Broad Run is Broad Run –ºthey’re alwaystough,” he said. “This is all knew to us be-

ing in the championship game. We weredropping passes we would not normallydrop. But [making the district finals andregionals] is a big accomplishment.”

Following the game, Potomac Falls waspresented with the runner-up team trophyduring postgame awards ceremonies. BroadRun earned trophies for both its regularseason title as well as its tournament cham-pionship win.

Also recognized were the eight-teamleague’s All-Dulles District players. FirstTeam selections from Broad Run wereKrysten Johnson (defense), Kate Sistare(midfield), Meredith Rogers (attack), KatieMesmer (attack) and Allison Bogle (goal-keeper).

From Potomac Falls, Imani McCleary (de-fender), Katie Dacanay (defender/midfielder) and Katie Baumgardner (attack)earned First Team recognition.

Coach Dacanay was named Coach of theYear.

Making Second Team from Broad Runwas Brogan Dublin (defender).

Other area players to make All-Districtwere: First Team selections Alexa Rizzo (Do-minion High) and Katie O’Shea (BriarWoods), as well as Second Team membersKatie Saba (Briar Woods), Jeanie Tran (Do-minion), Nicole Butt (Dominion), AlissaKitamura (Briar Woods), Shannon Wood(Briar Woods), Meghan Butt (Dominion) andgoalie Mariko Itchkawich (Briar Woods).

Potomac Falls loses ingirls lacrosse finals, butqualifies for regionals.

Panthers Reach Dulles Finals

Potomac Falls goalie Kathleen Harrison (32) and the rest of the Pan-thers’ defense had their hands full in slowing down the potent BroadRun attack.

The Panthers got three innings of workfrom Brian Griffin and Mike Detaranto andone inning of relief from Jacob Kline.

The Falcons jumped on the Panthers fora run in the first inning when Gavin Schererled off the game with a shot to third base.Pat Nightingale could not come up with theplay and Scherer advanced to second on awild pick off attempt by Griffin. After agroundout, Logan Harris stroked a singleto left field to score Scherer. Ian Hickmanthen followed with a single and Alex Munrolaid down a bunt that catcher Chris Peltofielded and threw to third for a force out.Griffin then struck out Chris Wade lookingto end the inning.

Hickman took the mound for the Falconsand cruised through the first two inningsbefore running into trouble in the third. RobMalan led off with a single to center fieldthat Victor Rizzardi made a good divingattempt on, but ended up short-handing it.Greg Woodlief followed with a single to leftfield. Aaron Sweger then battled Hickmanon a 13-pitch at bat before singling to leftfield to score Malan to tie the game. PatNightingale then singled to right field toload the bases.

Chris Pelto followed with a single to leftfield on an 0-2 pitch to score Woodlief andSweger. Eric Dimsey then moved the run-ners up on a sacrifice bunt. With runnerson second and third, Chad McMichael laiddown a suicide squeeze that Hickmanfielded. But he only had a play at first. KyleHaufler was covering first and initiallydropped the ball, but picked it up in timeto get McMichael. Pelto, meanwhile, neverstopped running and scored without a playat the plate to give the Panthers a 5-1 lead.

Mike Detaranto came in to pitch thefourth inning and the Falcons got a run offof him in the fifth when Scherer reached

on a throwing error and ended up on sec-ond. He then scored when Harris picked uphis second run-scoring single of the game.

The Panthers answered that with a runin their half of the inning when Malan washit by a pitch and stole second. He thenscored on a groundball that resulted in anerror.

That ended the scoring for the night at 6-2.

Some of you print-media readers mayhave noticed some recent, full page, fourcolor advertising (expensive) in TheWashington Post extolling the virtues andexplaining the various economic-typecauses and effects of why gas/oil costs whatit costs — to us consumers, of America’sOil and Natural Gas Companies, anattempt no doubt to stem the rising hostiletide against these gauging Goliath’s; a moredifficult challenge I cannot imagine;spinning the record quarterly profits ofthese mega-monopolies into some sort ofyarn of reasonability.

But I have to admit, I think I’mbeginning to see the light that their shiningin my eyes.

I don’t believe that we consumers, asuneducated and selfish as we are, canreally and truly appreciate the difficulties— and regulations — under which theseOil and Natural Gas Companies exist. Doyou have any idea how much risk —financial, business, insurance, manpower,tax, among many other types I’m sure I’mtoo ill informed to even mention — thatthese companies must endure to bringtheir products to market?

Of course you don’t. All you know isthat the price of gasoline and home heatingoil (not to mention all the other goods andservices that are likewise effected by theescalating price of oil) has not only gonethrough your roof but your piggy bank,your wallet, your available credit cardbalance and ultimately through your bankaccount, what’s left of it anyhow.Sherman’s March to the Sea near the endof the Civil War was a relative tea partycompared to the dividing and conqueringof the American consumer. Granted,there’s not the death and destruction nowthat there was in 1865, but neither werethere the millions of Americans adverselyeffected in their pursuit of life, liberty andhappiness as there are now.

That being said, I still think I’m beingnaive and narrow minded in myunderstanding of the bigger picture. I haveto realize that guaranteeing the future ofAmerica doesn’t come cheaply, nor does ithappen by wishing or hoping it so. It takessacrifice, commitment, foresight and ofcourse, money. And money, particularlypaper money doesn’t grow on trees(although it is made from trees). Moneycomes from hard work; blood, sweat andtears. Moreover, it is not given, it has to beearned.

Well, the Oil and Natural GasCompanies of America are certainly doingtheir share; they’re earning it all right, bythe billions every single day. And if it werenot for their forward thinking, theirresearch and development, their strategicinvestment planning, their deep welldrilling, their efforts at finding affordablemethods for extracting usable oil from tarsands and oil shale, their understanding ofthe international currency exchangemarkets and their overall experience aswell, dealing with not only theindependence but the interdependence ofthe world’s economies and the part that oiland gas goods and services plays in it, thenI fear America’s future would not looknearly so bright.

I just hope that when all the propagandais said and done, we’ll still be able to affordthe electricity that will illuminate the lightso that we can see if the pill we’ve beengiven is real or if it’s merely a profitableplacebo.

Perhaps the Oil and Natural GasCompanies do know what they’readvertising about. If not, it could be a coldday in Hell, for all of us.

Power to thePeople — Not!By KENNETH B. LOURIE

Amazing JobTo the Editor:

Leadership demands truth, loyalty andcharacter. And when I think of my Congress-man Frank Wolf the following quote comesto mind:

“To make a difference in the world, youmust first dare to be different. When thetruth needs to be said, when the work needsto be done, when the help needs to be given… you can make a difference.”

Congressman Frank Wolf has representedVirginia’s 10th District since 1981 with thepurpose to represent his constituents inevery issue such as education, diversity,transportation, religion, workforce and hu-man rights. He has done an outstanding andamazing job addressing the region’s trans-portation needs. Supporting human rightsaround the globe and in the workplace en-vironment. Congressman Frank Wolf is astrong and firm believer of retaining andpromoting young professional talent in thecorporate world.

“Our talents are a gift the God gives to us…

What we make of out talents is our giftback to God.” — Leo Buscaglia

Not only does he hold a vision of whatneeds to be accomplished to served his con-stituents in the 10th District of the State ofVirginia but he is a man of strong moralvalues, principles, standards and ideals.Education and diversity has played an im-portant role as part of his beliefs. He un-derstands the importance of an excellenteducation and knows that our future de-pends on the ability to give students thetools that they need to succeed. Congress-man Frank Wolf is a firm supporter of cul-ture and diversity. We learn from thosewhose experiences and perspectives are dif-ferent from our own.

“Strength lies in differences not in simi-larities.” — Stephen R. Covey

Congressman Frank Wolf is not only aman with a vision, reason and a missionbut he inspires those around him. He knowsthe key of bringing people together andproviding solutions for everyone. Please joinme in returning Frank Wolf for CongressNov. 4. His outstanding and extraordinaryrecord speaks for itself.

Remember to vote in the Republican pri-mary at your regular polling location onTuesday, June 10, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Well-Deserved Showof SupportTo the Editor:

Ronald Reagan once said that there aresimple answers. Just not easy ones.

But for Loudoun voters, there is a simpleand easy choice coming up in the June 10Republican primary. And that’s to supportFrank Wolf.

He’s served us for more than a genera-tion, delivering on transportation and edu-cation, fighting crime and gang violence,and standing tall for tax cuts and spendingrestraint. He’s introduced the legislation the

House leadership will use to bring aboutearmark reform.

In short, he is everything Loudoun couldwant on public service … and more.

Not to mention that whenever the com-munity calls, Frank Wolf is there. For con-stituent support, to provide a word of wis-dom at an event, to support our kids at com-petitions.

Certainly we can all take a few momentsto go to our usual polling places June 10 tomake sure Congressman Wolf gets on thefall ballot — and to send a message to thebig-money liberal attack machine alreadybombarding us with distortions of his recordof outstanding service.

Or, if you can’t make it to the polls, toobtain an absentee ballot by contacting theRegistrar at 801 Sycolin Road, S.E., Suite102 Leesburg, VA 20175-5686 or 703-777-0548.

Providing Congressman Wolf a well-de-served show of support is simple. It’s easy.And it’s never been more important.

Bob MaistrosAshburn

Hospital NeededTo the Editor:

I hope when it finally comes time for theLoudoun County Board of Supervisors tovote on the proposed hospital inBroadlands, they will realize that the loudand vocal voices of a few dozen people wholive on the streets closest to the site, do notin any way represent the true feeling of thecounty as a whole.

This hospital is a needed service and weare likely to need a third to be built as wellin the next few years. Loudoun County isgrowing fast and we need to be ahead ofthe curve on things like hospitals and roadsand schools, or we all suffer.

Adrianne BlackistoneAshburn

Competiton is GoodTo the Editor:

Why is it that Inova started to expandtheir services? Is it because they have thecommunity interests at heart? The answeris no. The reason Inova all of the suddenwanted to provide more to its patients isbecause they started to smell the competi-tion … HCA.

Competition is a good thing and the com-munity deserves to have options in theirmedical services. I would feel better know-ing that if I needed a second opinion froma medical doctor, I have that option anddon’t have to travel far to get it.

The only way we are going to continueto get these advanced services are by fearof the competitor. I welcome HCA to bringthe community advanced care, more op-tions and new doctors.
