News

As we are approaching the beginning of yet another school year,The Connection has asked area school principals to respond tothe following three back-to-school questions:

1. What is the most exciting news in your school approaching anew school year?

2. What is your single most important goal (in a new schoolyear)?

3. Some of the upcoming events at the school?

Back to School

Strategy for Each Childat Churchill Road ES

Don Hutzel, Principal, Churchill Road Elementary School [pic-tured with Kathy Manoatl, Assistant Principal]

1. We are excited to be welcoming many new families toChurchill Road this year. They are from all over the world. Theirnew ideas and perspectives will be a great gift to the school com-munity.

In the upcoming school year, we will be continuing to focus onintegrating environmental education into our curriculum. Recy-cling, composting, and water, plant and animal studies will be apart of every student’s learning experiences. Students are askedto challenge themselves on a daily basis by learning how to ques-tion and create solutions to environmental concerns which haslead to successful composting and recycling programs. This sum-mer, a team of Churchill Road teachers participated in a week-long class, sponsored by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. I, too,participated in a similar CBF program for school principals. Weall returned very enthused, motivated and proud of being an en-vironmentally friendly school!

Finally, this summer, a team of teachers met to develop indi-vidualized strategy plans for each child at Churchill Road. Theteam spent time analyzing student’s test scores and based on thatdata, created programs that can help teachers individualize in-struction for each child in their classroom. When all of the teach-ers return to school, they will each receive a binder filled withhelpful, research based strategies to help them be effective witheach child, starting on day #1 of school.

2. Our primary goal is to make sure that every child at ourschool has a first-class learning experience. We want our studentsto participate in an exciting instructional program that is bothrigorous and motivating. The teachers are designing programs inall subject areas that will meet the needs of our diverse studentpopulation. We want to expand beyond traditional teaching meth-odology and provide children with purposeful connections be-tween their studies and real life experiences. We are constantlythinking “what does a child need to learn now to be a successful21st century citizen?”

3. On Sept. 2, we will be hosting our annual Open House. Thisis an exciting day. The Churchill Road children and their familiesvisit the school to meet their teachers and learn who is in theirclasses. On Sept. 13 and 15, we’ll be hosting our Back To SchoolNight meetings. These meetings are an opportunity for parents tomeet with the teachers to learn about this year’s instructionalprogram. Visit our school’s website to learn more about theseimportant dates and many other exciting things that are occur-ring at Churchill Road Elementary School this year (http://www.fcps.edu/ChurchillRoadES/).

The Connection

The McLean CommunityPlayers are gearing upfor their Fall seasonwith a performance of

“Frost/Nixon,” a play based on theinterviews between talk show hostDavid Frost and former PresidentRichard Nixon.

The play covers the events lead-ing up to the interviews and be-hind the scenes of the taping ses-sions, as well as the interviewsthemselves. It paints the picture oftwo men trying to redeem them-selves at the expense of the other,and the mixture of history andcharacter personality is what drewdirector Zina Bleck to the project.

“I like shows that have a lot ofpersonal interaction and wherethe energy and flow keep going,”Bleck said. “I want to make surethe pacing works out well, butwithout ruining the parts.”

Bob Sams, who plays Nixon, said

Scottie Kronmiller, belovedmother, doting grandmother andfabulous friend, died on Friday,Aug. 27, 2010.

Dorothea “Scottie” FreedKronmiller was born on July 9,1917 in York, Penn. Scotty lived avibrant and exciting life as a suc-cessful Broadway actress, artist,Navy Captain’s wife, mother oftwo and beloved grandmother offour.

In the 1940s, Scottie starred as“Ado Annie Carnes,” opposite JohnRaitt, in the national touring com-pany of “Oklahoma.” Scottie’s ren-dition of “I can’t say No!” was sofunny and sexy, it became the stan-dard for new actors performingthat role today.

Scottie was married to CaptainGeorge H. Kronmiller on July 9,1940, after his graduation fromthe U.S. Naval Academy. She con-tinued to perform in musicals un-til her husband was transferred toLondon to support the war effort.Scottie supported her beloved“Georgie” during all of his Navalassignments, bringing her zest forlife to every posting. Upon return-ing to the United States, Scottieand George resided in North Ar-lington and McLean. Scottie

served as chair of the VirginiaWoman’s Republican Party for over40 years, worked at the Alexan-dria Torpedo Art Factory, and wasactive in the CommonwealthCircle. Scottie continued to sup-port the theatre and arts throughher charitable works and personalcontributions until her death.

Scottie’s favorite line from“Oklahoma” was, “With or with-out mistletoe I’m in a holidaymood.” That was her guiding prin-ciple throughout her nine plusdecades. She was hopeful that inthe decades yet to come that herfamily and dear friends might keepthat thought in their hearts. Scot-tie is with her beloved “Georgie”now and at peace. May God bless

her and grant her eternal rest.Scottie is survived by her four

grandchildren, Ted Jr., Lauren,Rory and Michael. Her daughteris Kristen Pinfield of San Antonio,Texas who is married to GregoryD. Pinfield. Her son, Theodore G.Kronmiller of Great Falls, is an in-ternational attorney and formerambassador who served in theReagan Administration.

Code RedOpinion

This summer, despite the heat, we’vehad fewer “Code Red” air qualitydays than one might have expected,possibly a result of the slower

economy.On “Code Red” days, children, older people

and people with asthma, heart or respiratoryproblems should reduce outdoor activities.Even healthy individuals should limit strenu-

ous outdoor work and exer-cise.

The primary causes of airpollution in Northern Virginia

are vehicle emissions and pollution from coal-burning power plants here and to the west.

Approximately 60-70 percent of the pollut-ants that cause ground-level ozone are createdfrom vehicles, lawn mowers, other gardenequipment and common household products,according to the Washington MetropolitanCouncil of Governments.

Here are a few suggestions to help air qual-ity in the short term:

❖ Limit driving, combine trips or work fromhome.

❖ Use area bus and rail lines.❖ Avoid mowing lawns with gasoline-pow-

ered motors.

Editorials

We cruise into the last week of summer va-cation for most Virginia school districts withtemperatures in the high 90s and “Code Red”air quality, the state mandate to delay open-ing schools until after Labor Day doesn’t seemlike such a bad thing.

While students across the river in Montgom-ery County headed back to the classroom onMonday, Aug. 30, Virginia students have an

❖ Refuel vehicles after dusk; avoid idling.❖ Conserve electricity, turn up the thermo-

stat for air conditioning, turn off unneededlights.

For the air quality forecast for Northern Vir-ginia and links to maps, see http://www.deq.virginia.gov/airquality.

Starting School after Labor Dayextra eight days of summer break.

Long held up as an example of corporateinfluence over the General Assembly (King’sDominion makes strategic donations to statedelegates and senators while lobbying for the“start after Labor Day” rule), if the result isthat families have a little more time for vaca-tion, possibly giving the economy a little boostin the process, perhaps no harm is done.

Letters to the Editor

Civil War HistoryOverlooked

To the Editor:I am writing in regard to Alex

McVeigh’s article [“The Story ThatIs McLean,” McLean Connection,Aug. 25-31] According to Mr.McVeigh, “McLean has seen itsshare of history.” The article jumpsfrom President Madison’s flight tothe establishment of a railroad sta-tion that took tourists along thePotomac River. However, the ar-ticle neglects an important periodof McLean history — the Ameri-can Civil War — when Union andConfederate armies skirmished atLewinsville and the Union Armyestablished winter camps beforethe famous Peninsula Campaign inthe spring of 1862. I notice theunfortunate oversight frequentlywhenever the history of McLeanis discussed, whether in your pa-per or elsewhere. Fairfax Countyhas erected a couple of markers,at Salona and Benvenue, that rec-

ognize the importance of our com-munity in the early days ofAmerica’s civil conflict. Neverthe-less, for some unknown reason,there is little to commemorate theCivil War era. This is a shame, par-ticularly as we approach the 150thanniversary of the Civil War.

I have started a blog, “All Not SoQuiet Along the Potomac” (http://dclawyeronthecivilwar.blogspot.com/) which seeks to shed some lighton this forgotten history. I havediscussed several aspects of theCivil War history of present-dayMcLean and intend to cover manyother episodes from the 1860s. Iinvite you and other readers totake a look at the entries. I alsohope that the McLean Connectionwill at some point feature the CivilWar history of McLean, so thatreaders become familiar with thistruly fascinating aspect of our his-tory.

Helping FloodVictims

To the Editor:The political controversies and

battles that overtake the airwavesin our own country make it easyto overlook the intense plight andsuffering of the less fortunate inother parts of the world. The con-tinuing floods in Pakistan have af-fected over 20 million people;more than twice the population ofNew York City.

In McLean, resident MariamSaadi is showing that one personcan make a significant change forthe better.

By organizing a donation drive,she has collected over 400 reliefboxes (food and water, clothing,medicine) in less than a week.They will be transported to NewYork’s JFK Airport and sent to theflood victims free of charge viaPakistan International Airlines.

Political ramifications aside, therising public health implications of

the floods are enormous as water-borne diseases spread rapidlythrough the population. It is im-perative that action be taken tocurtail the devastation and preventthe affects from spreading beyondthe afflicted areas.

There have been no charity con-certs or celebrity telecasts to raiseawareness for this cause.

Only the goodwill of generouspeople can help this terrible situ-ation. There are numerous repu-table aid organizations which takeonline donations.

But at the very least, some nobleVirginia residents are showing thatswift and decisive action can go along way to directly helping thosein need.

Middle Eastern Festival Celebrates Diversitycan’t be an enemy with some-

one you’ve shared bread with,”Father Francavilla said in a 2009interview. In that same interview,“Father Joe” called Middle Easternhospitality legendary. “Welcomingguests, sharing food with them, ispart of their culture,” he said atthe time. “People know that when

they come to these ethnic festivals,they’re going to get homemadefood, authentic, really good food.”

When one festival ends, volun-teers start planning the followingyear’s. “It takes a full year ofpreparation by committed anddedicated volunteers to welcomewhat is now a few thousandpeople over the weekend,” said

Carnazzo.

THROUGHOUT THE FALL,church bakers begin making cook-ies and pastries to sell at HolyTransfiguration’s annual holidaysweets sale. The sweets commit-tee takes orders for the confectionsand buyers pick up their orders thefirst week of December. The

Catholic faith that Holy Transfigu-ration follows originated inAntioch many centuries ago. Mostof the McLean church’s parishio-ners are of Lebanese descent andthe food and music featured at thefood festival are part of their homelives. “Our festival is open to allpeoples, all cultures, all faiths, allof whom are our brothers and sis-

ters,” said Carnazzo.For more information on the 17thAnnual Middle Eastern Food Fes-tival hosted by Holy Transfigura-tion Melkite Greek-CatholicChurch in McLean, go to http://www.middleeasternfoodfestival.com/. To learn more about the church,see http://www.holytransfiguration.org/.

IMPROVEMENTS IMPROVEMENTS

As much as I’d like to write about some-thing else other than my having cancer, thewords to do so don’t seem as readily in hand(or in-head) as they once were. I don’t wantto think, nor do I want to admit, that thelonger I live – and the closer I come to myoriginal two year-life expectancy deadline(double entendre intended), March, 2011,the more consumed with all of it I ambecoming. Which is probably not a goodthing, mental health-wise, but nearly impos-sible – or so I’m finding – common sense-wise, given the seriousness of my originaldiagnosis/prognosis: “Stage IV lung cancer,treatable but inoperable and not curable.”Words I never thought I would hear anoncologist say to a lifelong non-smoker likeme. Words I’m now supposed to ignore?

But that’s exactly what I have to do,somehow: live without considering, toomuch, that I may be dying and dying soonerrather than the much later I had been antici-pating all of my previous life (given my par-ent’s health and ages when they died). Andthat’s been my struggle, ever since Feb. 27,2009; the date when my primary care doctorfirst informed me of the results of my biopsy:the previously unconfirmed things in mylungs were indeed malignant tumors.

That was 18 months ago, and much hashappened in that last year and a half. Weknow two people in our circle who havedied from lung cancer, both individuals hav-ing received their diagnosis after I receivedmine. I have also read multiple obituaries(some younger, some older) in The Washing-ton Post that listed lung cancer as the causeof death. In addition, I have read miscellane-ous other newsworthy articles citing lungcancer as the cause of something elseunpleasant. Moreover, I have heard numer-ous stories from people who knew some-body, who knew somebody else (who I didn’tknow) who had lung cancer, who sharedtheir less-than-encouraging news. (In fairness,I have likewise heard – and read – of somepatients who outlived their prognosis.) So Ihave assimilated much anecdotal-type infor-mation about cancer and cancer patientsduring this last year and a half and learned afew lessons along the way as well.

Nevertheless, at the end of the day (heck,at the beginning of the day, too), the weightof living with a terminal disease (I know,there are exceptions to every rule; statisticsare not really people, everybody/everybody’sbody reacts differently to treatment/ medica-tion; yada, yada, yada) can crush your enthu-siasm – and appreciation – for some of thelittle things in life, the kinds of things whichhave nothing to do with cancer (and dying),but everything to do with living – and notdying prematurely. Apparently, there is some-thing to be said and – in some internal effectas well – to be done, for living or trying tolive life as normally as possible in spite of theodds because doing so, or at least attemptingto do so, helps slay the emotional dragonthat can so easily overpower you.

And what ego I have (which isn’t much)doesn’t want to be overpowered, and it and Icertainly don’t want to lose control. Everyday after I wake up, I check to see if I’m allthere (sort of a mental bed check if you will).Once I’m all present and accounted for, I getup and start the day. The routine I’ve devel-oped seems to help me with my need tocontrol. And with that control comes powerand confidence, and with that power andconfidence comes intestinal fortitude which,as a cancer patient, you need in abundance.Some days, the supply is a little low. The trickis pretending, somehow, that it’s not.

FSO Season Opens Sept. 11

News

second year as Fairfax SymphonyOrchestra’s music director said, “This is agreat opportunity for the orchestra to ex-pand both its audience and its opportunityto play together. This orchestra is definitelyup to the challenges presented by addinganother venue.”THE SEASON will open Sept. 11 withTchaikovsky’s The Tempest Fantasy-Overture, Schumann’s Piano Con-certo, and Rachmaninoff’s Third Sym-phony. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoffhave always been staple fare of the FSO -and deservedly so, since these two compos-ers have penned some of the most heartfeltand passionate music ever. “Here are twomajor works of theirs which, unaccountably,are not particularly known to both orches-tras and audiences alike, but they showevery bit the inspiration and mastery of theirbetter known cousins Romeo and Juliet andSymphony No.2,” said Zimmerman. Theguest artist is the French pianistPhilippe Bianconi who, according toZimmerman, “is both a beautiful pianist andprofound interpreter.”

The Oct. 23 concert highlights the FSOand the fine players within it. As part of itsthree-year Sibelius exploration, the FSOwill perform the symphonic fantasyPojhola’s Daughter, another of his won-derfully evocative tales. Mozart’sSinfonia Concertante features FSOConcertmaster, David Salness, andPrincipal Viola, Gregory Rupert, assoloists. Bartok’s Concerto for Or-chestra makes similar virtuosic demandson individual players and orchestral sec-tions alike, allowing the FSO to, asZimmerman says, “place the spotlight onitself.”

0n Nov. 20, guest conductor EckartPreu will lead the orchestra in a perfor-mance of music from the first half of the19th century and the second half of the20th. Maestro Zimmerman described themusical selections as “sparkling, clean, andclear.”

The mischief and humor of Rossini’s LaCenerentola Overture contrasts with thedrama and poetic introspection ofMendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 of theearly Romantic Period. Both are counter-balanced by the unpredictability and rhyth-mic intensity of John Adams’ ViolinConcerto which reaches almost hypnoticproportions when played by guest artist,Timothy Fain on violin.

The Jan. 15,, 2011 program will markboth the Fairfax Symphony’s first concertin a series of double performances, and itsdebut performance at the beautifulnew Hylton Performing Arts Centerin Manassas. From England, Central Europeand the United States, Zimmerman has cho-sen three masterpieces which he believesaptly exemplify Western music’s profoundand beautiful legacy. Bernstein’s Over-ture to Candide and Dvorak’s Sym-phony No. 9, “From the New World”are traditional audience favorites, belovedin the repertoire. Walton’s Violin Con-certo, not as frequently performed,

will feature guest artist Chee-Yun,who returns to the FSO after her acclaimedperformance of Sylvie Bodorova’s Concertodei Fiore in its 2008-2009 season.

The first part of the 20th Century was oneof the richest and most exciting eras in allof Western music, with composers reactingand responding to a successful aestheticwhich had reached saturation point, i.e. theopulent orchestral language of the late Ro-mantics. On March 19,, 2011 the FSO willpresent Webern’s Six Pieces for Or-chestra (revised/reduced version) andSibelius’ Symphony No. 5. “Writtenwithin only a few years of each other,” saidMaestro Zimmerman, “Sibelius’ andWebern’s creations here show just how dif-ferently beautiful works of art can be ex-pressed in the hands of great and sensitivecomposers. There, the prevailing tech-niques and modes of expression seem tohave been shattered in the pursuit of a newvoice.” Sibelius’ 5th Symphony is also pro-grammed as part of the FSO’s ongoing ex-ploration of his symphonic development.

“In his own way, too, Beethoven can beregarded as an artist who seemed to “tearup the rules” in his need to express himselffully,” Zimmerman said. Beethoven’s Pi-ano Concerto No.5, his final piano con-certo, will be played by the eminent Finn-ish pianist, Matti Raekallio.

The Fairfax Symphony Orchestra’s 2010-2011 season will close with another doubleperformance on May 14,, 2011 at GMU’sCenter for the Arts in Fairfax and onMay 15 at the Hylton Performing ArtsCenter in Manassas.

The Fairfax Choral Society, with Ar-tistic Director Douglas Mears, and theReston Chorale with Artistic DirectorDavid Brian Lang, join the FSO in a perfor-mance of Mahler’s spectacular Sym-phony No.2, “Resurrection.” A stepbeyond Beethoven’s 9th, “Resurrection” isa musical journey which speaks of the hu-man condition in all its complexities andparadoxes and touches on the nature ofexistence, religion, and the afterlife. “OnlyMahler could embrace such an ambitiousagenda and succeed in producing one of themost exciting, beautiful and exultant worksthat has yet been written,” saidZimmerman.

SUBSCRIPTIONS are available by call-ing 703-563-1990 or on the Web atwww.fairfaxsymphony.org. Single tickets forthe 2010 - 2011 Season range from $25 -$55 (Fairfax) and from $25-$45(Manassas).

Directions to the concert halls and infor-mation on the FSO’s education and outreachprograms, podcasts, and other activitiesmay also be found on the FSO’s Web site.Program notes for each concert are postedon the site at least one week prior to theperformance.

The orchestra is supported in part throughfunding by the Virginia Commission for theArts, the Arts Council of Fairfax County, andthe County of Fairfax, along with generoussupport from corporations, foundations,and individuals.

his main goal when preparing toplay the disgraced ex-presidentwas trying to be him without im-personating him.

“The challenge of doing a well-known historical figure is to notimpersonate Nixon. Almost every-one knows who he is, so it’s usu-ally easier to play someone who’sbeen gone a long time,” Sams said.“I’m seeing him through the eyesof the playwright, and trying tofind the essence of Nixon as a char-acter.”

SINCE THE VIDEOS of the ac-tual interviews are availableonline, Sams did his due diligenceand studied them, but he admit-ted that they weren’t too helpful.

“They shot him close up andonly showed his head and shoul-ders,” he said. “The audience willbe seeing much more of me sinceI’m onstage not on a TV screen. Itried to get some of his manner-isms down, but to also show theprivate side of Richard Nixon,which not a lot of people saw.”

Derek Bradley, who plays Frost,

says he was intrigued by the rolebecause Frost was risking so muchwith the interviews.

“This was his last shot at fame,he was swinging for the stands,completely invested in these inter-views,” Bradley said. “It’s not anemotional role on the outside, butthe character is fully developed, andI liked that about him, I tried tothink the way he was thinking. Ithas to be my version of Frost, and Ithink that’s what makes it real.”

Like his counterpart, Bradleystudied the interview tapes them-selves, but said that to do an im-pression of Frost would be “bor-ing.” He did pick up the Frost’sBritish accent for the role, the thirdtime he has done so in a play.

“His voice is lower, almost staticduring the interviews, I tried tomake it much more expressive,”Bradley said. “I wanted to makesure the accent wasn’t distracting,so I didn’t want to do a vocal imi-tation.”

During the interviews, the audi-ence knows what is at stake forFrost, despite the spotlight beingmostly on Nixon. Bradley says he

‘Frost/Nixon’ Opens Sept. 17found it interesting to watch thepower shift of the interviews asthey went on.

“Nixon comes out as a pro, Frostas underestimating him, and it’sinteresting to watch the arc as itgoes on, as Frost is able to get theupper hand,” he said. “It’s beenfantastic to work next to Bob, he’sreally brought his own version toNixon, I think we’ve got a nicepairing.”

Though much of the plot re-volves around Frost and Nixon, thesupporting cast have their mo-ments to shine, particularly as theytry to coach Frost or Nixon in howto upstage the other.

Stage manager Douglas F. Yriartis treading on unfamiliar groundwith this play as well, musicals areusually his forte.

“There’s a huge amount of ad-ministration in musicals, not justacting, but the choreography,dancing and the sets are usuallymore complex,” Yriart said. “Butthis has been interesting to watchthe play as it’s created, watchingthe director get the performancesout of the actors, and watching the

actors create their characters.”

BLECK says she has been pleasedwith the chemistry of the 11-mem-ber cast as they came together overrehearsals, and that the creativeprocess has been better for it.

“They’re really awesome as acast, they’ve really clicked,” Blecksaid. “Every time we’ve added stuffthey’ve taken it really well, and ithas added another layer to theperformance. We’ve all partici-pated in the creative process.”

Bleck also said she is pleasedwith the MCP and the Alden The-atre, saying, “the McLean Commu-nity Players have good resourcesbehind them, and it helps me fo-cus just on the directing, not otherstuff. The facility is great too, theadvanced lighting is critical tomake this show work, and we willbe able to use it to our advantage.”

The games are a celebration of life, bringing to-gether thousands of athletes, friends and familieswho have been personally touched by the life-savingpower of organ and tissue donation. “The best partof the games is meeting new kids who have had trans-plants,” said Tucker.
