“If this was yourchild would you saytheir life is notworth living?”

The Connection

At 2-months old, TeresaHammonds’ son Quentin sus-tained a traumatic brain injurythat left him in intensive care.

His outlook seemed bleak. According toHammonds, one doctor said his injurieswere so significant hewould have let him die.But she soldiered on,despite being told herson was blind, paralyzedand would be in a veg-etative state for the restof his life.

After leaving the hos-pital, Quentin wasbrought to a pediatricnursing center in DunnLoring, where he would live for the nextfive years. However, the center was an houraway from Hammonds’ house in Manassas,and she was discouraged by the staff there.

“They said any movement he made wasfrom seizures,” said Hammonds. “They toldme he couldn’t enjoy the outdoors and that

he would never leave.”They also told her that he was legally

blind, and she often struggled to get straightanswers from them.

But she always knew there was somethingspecial about her son.

“Once you get to know him, you can tellhe has his own personality,” she said. “If hedoesn’t like something, he’ll raise his hand

or turn his head and hisface will turn red.”

It took five years to sta-bilize Quentin and that’swhen Hammonds beganlooking for a way tobring him home. Shecontacted the Brain In-jury Services of Spring-field and BrookeAnnessa, 25, was as-signed to her case.

At their first meeting, Annessa recalledHammonds saying, “They sent this little girlto bring home my son.” But Annessa a slen-der, 5-foot-5 native of Fairfax wasn’t wor-ried, even though she had only been on thejob for a year.

“I’m young,” she said. “And I believe I can

do anything I want to do.”That was just the attitude it would take

to navigate the local, state and federal bu-reaucracy in order to bring Quentin home.

“The energy and dedication she shows asa case manager is unparalleled,” said KarenBrown, director of BIS.

First, Annessa secured federal funds from

the Money Follows the Person program,which pays for nursing home patients toreturn home because community livingcosts are on average two-thirds of that of anursing home, according to the MFPwebsite.

Commuters Endure the ‘Orange Crush’

It’s standing room only on the Metro Orange Line at the RosslynStation during a Tuesday at evening rush hour.

The Connection

It’s 9 a.m. on a Wednesday and Spring-field resident Isabela Borges is stuckon a Metro Blue Line train going no-where.

She got on at the Franconia-SpringfieldStation, the first stop on Blue. It left thestation as normal, but now she’s stuck witha train full of other passengers at the VanDorn Station. Minutes drag by with no signof movement. It’s not crowded but no emptyseats are left and this is only the train’s sec-ond stop. For its part, Metro is keeping rid-ers abreast of the situation. Regularvoiceovers promise trains will be “movingsoon.” Metro’s website says a train malfunc-tion outside of the Stadium-Armory stop hascaused delays on both the Blue and Orangelines.

Borges, a research physician at the Na-tional Institute of Health, faces a long com-mute each day even when there are no de-

lays. She starts at the end of the Blue Line,switches to Red at Metro Center then goesnearly to the end of the Red Line to Medi-cal Center past Bethesda, Md. On a goodday, it takes an hour. On days like today, it’sanybody’s guess.

“Thankfully this isn’t the norm,” she said.Upon moving to the U.S. a month ago

from her native Rio de Janeiro, Borges saidshe expected Metro would be busy, but shehas been unpleasantly surprised to find howoften there are delays and how poorly the

system seems to operate.“I think I quite expected it to be full of

people but not that the trains would be soslow or there would be so few trains,”Borges said. “I didn’t realize the servicewould be as bad as it is.”

After nearly a half-hour of no movement,the doors finally close at Van Dorn. But thetrain moves only a few hundred feet beforeanother interminable stop. Riders are quiet,many engrossed in their Blackberries,iPhones and books. But for those, likeBorges, hoping to get to work, it’s a vexingsituation.

Metro is, of course, an easy target for criti-cism for residents of the Washington, D.C.area. Escalators out of commission forweeks at a time, frequent delays, trains withno air conditioning, riders forced to wait

Orchestra Continues To Grow

The Fairfax Symphony Orchestra’s 2010-11 season repertoire will include perfor-mances at George Mason University’sCenter for the Arts in Fairfax, and the

expansion of their performances to the new HyltonPerforming Arts Center on the GMU campus inManassas.

“We are thrilled to be performingin Merchant Hall at the stunninglybeautiful new Hylton Performing ArtsCenter,” said Elizabeth Murphy, ex-ecutive director of the Fairfax Sym-phony Orchestra.

“This is a great opportunity for theorchestra to expand both its audienceand its opportunity to play together,”said Maestro ChristopherZimmerman, who is entering his sec-ond year as Fairfax SymphonyOrchestra’s music director. “This or-chestra is definitely up to the chal-lenges presented by adding anothervenue.”

The season will open Sept. 11 withTchaikovsky’s “The Tempest Fantasy-Overture,” Schumann’s Piano Con-certo, and Rachmaninoff ’s ThirdSymphony. Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninoff have al-ways been staple fare of the FSO, and deservedlyso, since these two composers have penned some ofthe most heartfelt and passionate music ever. “Hereare two major works of theirs which, unaccountably,are not particularly known to both orchestras andaudiences alike, but they show every bit the inspira-tion and mastery of their better known cousins‘Romeo and Juliet’ and Symphony No. 2,” saidZimmerman. The guest artist is the French pianist

Fairfax SymphonyOrchestra opens newseason on Sept. 11.

Philippe Bianconi who, according to Zimmerman, “isboth a beautiful pianist and profound interpreter.”

The Oct. 23 concert highlights the FSO and the fineplayers within it. As part of its three-year Sibeliusexploration, the FSO will perform the symphonic fan-tasy “Pojhola’s Daughter,” another of his wonderfullyevocative tales. Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante fea-tures FSO Concertmaster David Salness and GregoryRupert, principal viola, as soloists. Bartok’s Concertofor Orchestra makes similar virtuosic demands onindividual players and orchestral sections alike, al-lowing the FSO to, as Zimmerman said, “place thespotlight on itself.”

0n Nov. 20, guest conductor Eckart Preu will leadthe orchestra in a performance ofmusic from the first half of the 19thcentury and the second half of the20th. Zimmerman described the mu-sical selections as “sparkling, clean,and clear.” The mischief and humorof Rossini’s La Cenerentola Overturecontrasts with the drama and poeticintrospection of Mendelssohn’s Sym-phony No. 3 of the early RomanticPeriod. Both are counterbalanced bythe unpredictability and rhythmic in-tensity of John Adams’ Violin Con-certo which reaches almost hypnoticproportions when played by guestartist, Timothy Fain on violin.

THE JAN. 15, 2011 program willmark both the Fairfax Symphony’sfirst concert in a series of double per-

formances, and its debut performance at the beauti-ful new Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas.From England, Central Europe and the United States,Zimmerman has chosen three masterpieces that hebelieves aptly exemplify Western music’s profoundand beautiful legacy. Bernstein’s Overture to“Candide” and Dvorak’s Symphony No. 9, “From theNew World” are traditional audience favorites, be

two and three trains before being able to cram in a carpacked in like sardines with the armpits and backs of strang-ers nearly pressed against them. Not to mention nightmaresthat linger after last summer’s deadly Red Line crash. It’s acommon commiseration topic for area residents, especiallythose in Northern Virginia who depend on the Orange,Yellow and Blue lines to get to their jobs, many in the Dis-trict.

The Orange Line, the second busiest in the system afterRed, can be particularly vexing for Virginians. The always-hopping Rosslyn Station is stifling on another recent week-day during evening rush hour. Blue and Orange trains arewhizzing through the station with regularity — about ev-ery 2 minutes — but each car is packed. Within the spaceof about 20 minutes, three trains roll through pulling wholecars darkened and out of service.

“When one of those cars is broken, it’s almost impossibleto get on,” says Emily Bever, an Oakton resident who ridesfrom Vienna, switches at Rosslyn then gets off at PentagonCity on the Blue Line each day for her job at a Washington,D.C. think tank.

So is this par for the course for living in a large metro-politan area or does the system have serious deficiencies?

“I think it’s a little of both,” Bever said. “Like right now,the trains are running pretty close together and another isonly 2 minutes behind. But if it’s much more than that, thestation will fill up again and with everybody coming out ofthe city, the trains are full when they get here. It feels likeridership is increasing and the service is decreasing.”

Supervisor Catherine Hudgins (D-Hunter Mill), who sitson the Metro Board, said she hears regularly from con-stituents who voice concerns and frustrations about Metro.

“It’s an older system,” she said. “It’s sort of like owning ahome for 40 years. If you haven’t kept up with improve-ments along the way, it becomes a huge obligation andthat’s where Metro is. We really need a commitment fromriders and from the region to keep it going, to find room intheir capital budgets that are competing with schools, safety,health and human services, all important things. A lack ofdedication to maintenance has caused this decline, andwe all need to sacrifice to improve it.”

Supervisor Jeff McKay (D-Lee), also a Fairfax County rep-resentative on the Metro Board, said he frequently hearsfrom constituents about what is none-too-fondly called the“Orange Crush” at Rosslyn and throughout the Orange Line.

“It is a huge problem,” he said. “It’s a transfer station toany other line so inevitably it’s going to be busier there.”

He said board members are trying to “get creative” aboutways to mitigate congestion there as economically as pos-sible. He mentions a plan that’s been floating around fortwo years in which three Blue Line trains coming fromFranconia-Springfield every peak travel hour would be re-directed over the Yellow Line bridge to Greenbelt whilethree trains would be added each peak travel hour betweenWest Falls Church and Largo Town Center to relieve Or-ange Line pressure. The proposal, which the board hasn’tvoted on, could go into effect next summer.

“We’re trying to come up with solutions that don’t in-volve spending a lot of money and can be incorporatedusing assets we already have,” McKay said.

As for Orange Line riders who dread the addition of theSilver Line connection to Dulles Airport slated to open itsfirst phase in 2013, Hudgins said not to worry.

“There will be additional trains with the Silver Line thatreflect growth in the corridor,” she said. “There have beenplans to address that ever since the Silver Line was planned.We’re working on mitigating factors now in anticipation ofthe Silver Line.”

Then she obtained a Technical AssistanceWaiver to help pay for Quentin’s medicalequipment, brought in local first respond-ers to inform them of his situation and pro-vided the neighbors with info packets.

“The biggest struggle was securing nurs-ing,” said Hammonds, a single mother whoworks full-time at Wal-Mart. Quentin re-

quires 24-hour nursing care.Finally, after six months everything was

ready for Quentin to come home.“That was the best day ever,” said

Hammonds. “When they got him inside, Ihugged and kissed him.”

“It was a sense of awe,” said Annessa, whohad followed the ambulance carryingQuentin home. “Because of her persever-ance, she brought her family back together.”

Along with his mother, Quentin lives withhis brother Jamell Ewell, 4.

At home, Quentin is thriving. After an eyeexam, they discovered that he could see andis only near-sighted. He can respond to com-mands, like raising his hand and focusinghis eyes on things. Hammonds takes himoutside for walks and, on the Fourth of July,he was able to see fireworks for the firsttime. In the fall, he’ll attend school twice aweek.

“Who knows how many chances hemissed to learn in unconventional waysbecause no one tried,” said Annessa.

While Quentin’s treatment does come atsignificant cost — the lifetime cost for aperson surviving a traumatic brain injurycan reach $4 million, according to the Na-tional Center on Caregiving — bothHammonds and Annessa are quick to putthis into perspective.

“Take a long hard look at my position,”said Hammonds. “If this was your childwould you say their life is not worth liv-ing?”

“It’s not about tolerating people with dis-abilities,” Annessa said. “It’s about treasur-ing them.”

loved in the repertoire. Walton’s Violin Concerto, notas frequently performed, will feature guest artistChee-Yun, who returns to the FSO after her acclaimedperformance of Sylvie Bodorova’s “Concerto deiFiore” in its 2008-09 season.

The first part of the 20th century was one of therichest and most exciting eras in all of Western mu-sic, with composers reacting and responding to a suc-cessful aesthetic that had reached saturation point,i.e. the opulent orchestral language of the late Ro-mantics. On March 19,, 2011 the FSO will presentWebern’s Six Pieces for Orchestra (revised/reducedversion) and Sibelius’ Symphony No. 5. “Writtenwithin only a few years of each other,” saidZimmerman, “Sibelius and Webern’s creations hereshow just how differently beautiful works of art canbe expressed in the hands of great and sensitive com-posers. There, the prevailing techniques and modesof expression seem to have been shattered in the pur-suit of a new voice.” Sibelius’ 5th Symphony is alsoprogrammed as part of the FSO’s ongoing explora-tion of his symphonic development.

“In his own way, too, Beethoven can be regardedas an artist who seemed to “tear up the rules” in hisneed to express himself fully,” Zimmerman said.Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.5, his final pianoconcerto, will be played by the eminent Finnish pia-nist, Matti Raekallio.

The Fairfax Symphony Orchestra’s 2010-11 sea-son will close with another double performance onMay 14,, 2011 at GMU’s Center for the Arts in Fairfaxand on May 15 at the Hylton Performing Arts Centerin Manassas. The Fairfax Choral Society, with Artis-tic Director Douglas Mears, and the Reston Choralewith Artistic Director David Brian Lang, join the FSOin a performance of Mahler’s spectacular SymphonyNo.2, “Resurrection.” A step beyond Beethoven’s 9th,“Resurrection” is a musical journey which speaks ofthe human condition in all its complexities and para-doxes and touches on the nature of existence, reli-gion, and the afterlife. “Only Mahler could embracesuch an ambitious agenda and succeed in producingone of the most exciting, beautiful and exultant worksthat has yet been written,” said Zimmerman.

SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE available by calling 703-563-1990 or online at www.fairfaxsymphony.org.Single tickets for the 2010-11 season range from $25-$55 (Fairfax) and from $25-$45 (Manassas).

Directions to the concert halls and information onthe FSO’s education and outreach programs, podcastsand other activities may also be found on the FSO’s

website. Program notes for each concert are postedon the site at least one week prior to the performance.

The orchestra is supported in part through fund-ing by the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the ArtsCouncil of Fairfax County, and the County of Fairfax,along with generous support from corporations, foun-dations and individuals.

MusicCareer Outside of FSO: Yes, I am the orchestra direc-

tor at Fairfax High School.Did you grow up/go to high school or college in

this area? Where?Yes, I graduated from

Robinson Secondary School in1975.

What sparked your inter-est in music?

I come from a musical family, so I probably would haveplayed an instrument no matter what, but I started learningto play the violin when I was in the fifth grade at Walnut HillElementary School in Falls Church. I knew that I wanted toplay professionally since high school.

What is one piece of advice you would give to ayoung person who is deciding how serious he/sheis about music?

I would tell the young person that there is no substitute fordedication and hours of practice. If they are willing to prac-tice hard then they should consider playing professionally.

What is one piece of advice you would give tosomeone who has stopped playing an instrumentbut would like to take it up again?

I would tell the person that it is never too late to begin play-ing your instrument again! Some of my most dedicatedstudents have been adults.

weekly. He does not disappoint inregard to Bush’s economic policy.Since running for Congress twoyears ago, Connolly has beenblaming every ill in the country,including the gigantic budgetshortfall Connolly left in FairfaxCounty, on Bush.

Conservatives, includingConnolly’s challenger, KeithFimian (R), have been urging Con-gress for months to keep the Bushtax cuts. While it is nice to hearConnolly now agrees with his GOPchallenger on this issue, at leastuntil Election Day, callingConnolly an “astute manager whounderstands the complexity of thecurrent economy” is like suggest-ing that Redskins’ AlbertHaynesworth should write a bookon healthy living.

Not afraid to stand up to his ownparty? Connolly has voted withthe Democratic leadership close to97 percent of the time. That maybe brave by liberal standards, butfor the rest of us, I think not.

Finally, the letter writer suggeststhat Gerry Connolly is above par-tisan politics, really? Check outConnolly’s campaign website,which includes the followingsophomoric statement about ab-sentee voting: “So easy in fact,even George Bush can do it.”

Is this the same George Bushwhose tax cuts Connolly wants tokeep?

Opinion

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 exercise.

The primary causes of air pollution in North-ern Virginia are vehicle emissions and pollu-tion from coal-burning power plants here andto 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.

Code Red Hot weather, air pollution createunhealthy conditions.

Editorials

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

❖ Limit driving, combine trips or work fromhome and se area bus and rail lines.

❖ Avoid mowing lawns with gasoline-pow-ered motors.

❖ Refuel vehicles after dusk; avoid idling.❖ Conserve electricity, turn

up the thermostat for air con-ditioning, turn off unneededlights. For the air quality fore-cast for Northern Virginia and

links to maps, see http://www.deq.virginia.gov/airquality.

Starting SchoolAfter Labor Day

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 openingschools until after Labor Day doesn’t seem likesuch a bad thing.

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

One Phase Ends,Another BeginsTo the Editor:

This month, I will participate inthe ribbon cutting at the openingof the first phase of the $198 mil-lion expansion and extension ofthe Fairfax County Parkway. Theextension of the Parkway fromRolling Road to Interstate 95 is thelargest and most critical road im-provement project the County hasundertaken to prepare for thetransfer of 13,000 Defense Depart-ment employees to Fort Belvoir aspart of 2005 recommendations ofthe Defense Base Closure and Re-alignment Commission (BRAC).

This project would not havebeen possible without the supportfrom our delegation in the U.S.Congress. Their support of theAmerican Recovery and Reinvest-ment Act (ARRA) allowed us tosecure the funding we will needto finish this critical project. Weespecially thank U.S. Reps. GerryConnolly (D-11) and Jim Moran(D-8) for their support of thestimulus bill, and appreciate theirrecent letter with Sen. MarkWarner (D) pressing the DefenseDepartment to do its part to miti-gate the effects of BRAC.

The project will not only serveour new workers. Once completed,Fairfax County residents can takeadvantage of the new access pointto Interstate 95 northbound andsouthbound, which will help re-lieve congestion at other nearbyon-ramps and exits.

The first phase completes a two-mile, four-lane section betweenRolling Road and Fullerton Road.This portion of the Parkway willcarry more than 8,500 employees

to the new headquarters of theNational Geospatial-IntelligenceAgency at the Engineer ProvingGround in Springfield as part ofBRAC.

Phase two of the project involvesthe construction of an interchangeat Rolling Road and the entranceto the Engineer Proving Groundand the extension of BoudinotDrive to provide a ramp to theParkway southbound. Phases threeand four will be funded by federal

money from theARRA. These phasesinvolve the reloca-tion of Hooes andRolling roads, im-

provements to the SpringfieldParkway interchange, and the ex-tension of Boudinot Drive at theFairfax County Parkway.

While the ribbon cutting is apoint of pride for me and a timeto celebrate, it also marks the be-ginning of the final year of prepa-ration for the changes mandatedby BRAC.

Our board and county staff areworking hard to prepare thecounty for the challenges createdby BRAC, but we cannot do italone. We will need the continuedsupport of our friends in Congressand our friends in the General As-sembly to ease the arrival of thou-sands of new workers to thecounty.

In July, I was joined by Supervi-sors Jeff McKay (D-Lee) and GerryHyland (Mount Vernon) on a let-ter asking our Congressional del-egation to make good on a com-mitment of $150 million to widenand improve Richmond Highway.The Route 1 corridor will be amajor thoroughfare responsiblefor bringing many of the 3,500new workers to the main post at

Fort Belvoir. Upgrading it is criti-cal to alleviate increased volumeon an already heavily congestedroad.

On Interstate 95/395, the 6,400new employees at the Mark Cen-ter in the City of Alexandria willcreate significant problems forFairfax County, and we opposedthis location. My colleagues and Iare working with VDOT and rep-resentatives of our neighboringjurisdictions in Arlington and Al-exandria to end the delay of con-structing a third HOT lane on In-terstate 95/395 inside the Beltway.

As the Sept. 15, 2011 BRACdeadline approaches, we arecounting on our friends in Con-gress and in Richmond to continueto help us with the infrastructurewe will need to support the qual-ity of life in the region and to wel-come the new Defense Depart-ment workforce.

Tax CutsAlways Right

To the Editor:It’s great to finally hear a U.S.

Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-11) sup-porter agree that President Bushhad it right: tax cuts are good forthe economy and should be ap-plied to everyone, not just thosemaking below $250,000[“Economy Most Critical Issue,”Connection, Aug. 26-Sept. 1,2010].

Now if the letter writer can justconvince her fellow liberals thattax cuts are the way to go, always.

Former Northern Region StarsFind Success in Big LeaguesShawn Camp, J.C. Romeroand Joe Saunders eachpitching in the Majors.

By Rich Sanders

The Connection

Professional baseball player BrandonSnyder, a 2005 Westfield High graduatewho led the Bulldogs to the NorthernRegion title during his senior season, has

spent the 2010 season with the Norfolk Tides, thetriple-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

Through games of Aug. 31, Snyder, a first baseman,was batting .257 withnine home runs and 43RBIs over 98 games. The6-foot-2 inch, 215-pound right-handed bat-ter also had 22 doubles.He knocked three hitswith two RBIs inNorfolk’s 8-6 home lossversus the Durham Bullson Aug. 19. And onTuesday (Aug. 31) ofthis week in the Tides’ 5-2 home win over theGwinnett Braves,Snyder gave his team anearly 2-0 lead when helifted a two-run homerun over the right field fence in the bottom of thesecond inning. He finished the night 2-for-3 at theplate.

Snyder was the Orioles’ first round selection (13thpick overall) in the 2005 first year player draft. Lastyear, between double-A Bowie and Norfolk, Snyderbatted .289 with 12 homers and 88 RBIs.

While he is not in the big leagues yet, Snyder, 23,

is a part of the Orioles’ current 40-man roster andcould be a September call-up this week when MajorLeague rosters expand.

While Snyder is looking to soon break into theMajor Leagues, three former Northern Region play-ers are all currently pitching for big league teams.

Shawn Camp (Robinson Secondary), who was bornin Fairfax and played collegiate baseball at GeorgeMason University, is a right-handed relief pitcher thisseason for the Toronto Blue Jays. Through Aug. 31,Camp was 4-2 with a 2.67 ERA over 60-2/3 inningsof work. On Monday, Aug. 23, he pitched a scorelessinning in the Blue Jays’ 3-2 home win over the Yan-kees. Last Friday night, Aug. 27, Camp earned thewin in Toronto’s 3-2 home victory over the DetroitTigers. In the outing, Camp tossed two scoreless in-nings, allowing no hits and walking two.

Originally selected bythe San Diego Padres inthe 16th round of the1997 first year playerdraft, Camp is currentlyin his seventh season inthe big leagues. Hespent two years playingfor the Kansas City Roy-als (2004-05), two morewith the Tampa BayRays (2006-07) and is inhis third year with theBlue Jays. He has alwayspitched out of thebullpen as a MajorLeaguer and, includingthis season, holds a ca-

reer record of 18-22 with a 4.47 ERA in 348 appear-ances. His most wins in a season came in 2006 withthe Rays when he went 7-4 as a reliever.

Camp, a 1994 graduate of Robinson, played catcherfor the Rams in high school. At George Mason Uni-versity, he ultimately converted to pitcher under the

Brandon Snyder is in his sixth season ofpro baseball.

He played forMinnesota through the 2005 season, working exclu-sively out of the bullpen his final four seasons in theTwin Cities. His best season with Minnesota was in2002 when, in 81 relief appearances, he was 9-2 with

a 1.89 ERA. He spent 2006 with the Angels and partof 2007 with the Boston Red Sox before being re-leased by Boston in June of that season.
