Not an Average ‘Recess’

Children make their way down the dock as their group is called to water ski.

Adith Thummalapalli, 12, inwheelchair, with his 4-year-oldbrother Rahul.

Dreams for Kids hosts day of watersports for children with disabilities.

By Justin Fanizzi

The Connection

Adith Thummalapalli is 12. Unlike many children his age, hehas never felt the wind whip through his hair on a boat rideor got to brag to friends that he got up on water skis. UntilAndrew Horn and his youth empowerment group, Dreams

for Kids, came into his life, that is.Thummalapalli, a rising seventh grader with muscular dystrophy, was

one of 65 children with physical, cognitive or developmental disabili-ties that Horn’s group treated to a dayof waterlogged fun at Dreams forKids’ second annual Extreme Recess.The event, which took place Satur-day, Aug. 21 at Pohick Bay RegionalPark, provided the children with anarray of adaptive water sport equip-ment that allowed them to take partin activities many of them never haveexperienced.

“I had so much fun at the event,”Thummalapalli said. “It was my firsttime ever going water-skiing anddoing some of the other things andit was really exciting to be able totry something new. I can’t wait to doit again.”

Last year’s event, said Horn,Dreams for Kids’ executive director,drew 40 children, but with more than60 signed up this year, the day’s for-mat had to be altered. The childrenwere split into groups that were as-signed specific times to participate ineach of the water sports. At the top

of every hour, a different group made itsway to the dock to go water-skiing, paddleboating, tubing, jet skiing or on a boatride.

All of the equipment was custom madeor retrofitted so that it was usable or ac-cessible to every child that registered forthe event. For example, Horn obtained apair of water skis that were welded to achair so that a child without the use oflegs could sit down and essentially ride

on the skis behind the boat. Other custom equipmentincluded tubes that the children could be strappedinto and speedboats outfitted with special gear tokeep the child safe while traveling at high speeds.

“I had never been water-skiing, so I was really ex-cited to try it,” said Jessica Rogers, a 13-year-old whowas born without legs. “I love being in the water andI swim a lot, but to go really fast was a great feeling.”

While Horn amassed a team of more than 25

The Connection

The women of the Turning Point Suf-fragist Memorial Committee knowthat time is fleeting, so like the

women whose names they are dedicated topreserving, they are leaving a little piece ofthemselves behind.

The committee marked the 90th anniver-sary of the ratification of the 19th Amend-ment with a two-part celebration at theLorton Workhouse Arts Center andOccoquan Regional Park Saturday, Aug. 21.The group commemorated the passage ofthe Amendment, which gave women theright to vote, by burying a time capsule filledwith the artifacts of their tireless work.

“Certainly the struggle for women to getthe right to vote is incredible,” said Jane

Barker, chair of the committee. “The factthat it has only been 90 years since the rati-fication, and that we went 160 before ithappened is incredible. So, this is the per-fect way for us to celebrate it.”

The celebration, which was a joint effortof the committeeand the Work-house, began withthe commemora-tion of one of thes u f f r a g emovement’s mosthallowed and sig-nificant figures, Inez MillhollandBoissevain. Boissevain, according to guestspeaker and Northern Virginia CommunityCollege history professor Alice Reagan, wasessentially the face of the movement, mak-ing public appearances and speaking on

behalf of the women leading the movementdue to her good looks and voracious per-sonality. Though Boissevain died before shecould realize the fruits of her labor, Reagansaid, she nonetheless contributed im-mensely to it.

“Inez was the most visible leader of themovement of suffragists in America,”Reagan said. “She played a large role in therevival of the pageantry of the movement,

and after she died,became a martyr ofit.”

After Reagan re-c o u n t e dBoiseevain’s life,the group paid trib-ute by reenacting

perhaps her proudest moment. Accordingto Reagan, Boissevain led the suffragists ona protest march through the nation’s capi-tal in 1913 wearing all white and riding atopa white horse, a la Joan of Arc, as a symbolof power and purity. So, in an attempt to

recreate this scene, Lorton resident Shan-non Spahn donned a crown and all-white

County Likely To Hire MorePlanning Staff For Tysons

Fairfax County is looking to bolster its department ofplanning and zoning, in part because local officials expecta deluge of redevelopment proposals for Tysons Corner.

“The county is going to use some of its carryover fund-ing to hire a couple of new staff members in planning andzoning because of all of that activity in Tysons,” said Su-pervisor John Foust (D-Dranesville.)

The Board of Supervisors is scheduled vote on whetherto use funding left over from last year to hire more countyplanners at its monthly meeting Sept. 7.

In June, the Fairfax supervisors endorsed a new masterplan for Tysons Corner, Virginia’s largest commercial dis-trict and retail hub. With the arrival of four new Metrostops, the county board hopes to create a more transit andpedestrian friendly community with more residents. Theelected officials hope the new Tysons will resemble an ur-ban downtown rather than an office park.

Local businesses and landowners have enthusiasticallyendorsed the new vision for Tysons, which includes incen-tives to construct more residential projects. Fairfax CountyChairman Sharon Bulova (D-At-large) said six or sevenredevelopment proposals, particularly for land closest tothe new Metro stops, have already been submitted to thecounty.

But Fairfax will need more planning staff in order totackle Tysons redevelopment in an efficiently, accordingto a few members of the county board.

“If we are going to do Tysons right, we need dedicatedstaff to work with those landowners,” said Bulova.

Planning Commissioner Walter Alcorn (At-large) saidFairfax has cut positions from its planning department overthe last few years in order to balance the budget.

“The department of planning and zoning has beendownsized in recent years so I am not surprised they wouldneed some more help, specifically with Tysons,” said Alcorn.

Bulova said the extra planning staff will not only assistwith Tysons but also help the county to the federalgovernment’s base realignment and closure (BRAC) deci-sion.

Starting next year, several thousand employees will bemoved from offices in Crystal City to a Fort Belvoir ArmyBase and a site along the Interstate 95 corridor in Spring-field.

The Fairfax Economic Development Authority expectsthe move to spur interest from private companies, particu-larly contractors with the Department of Defense, in thearea around the new government offices.

“There will be quite a bit of activity associated withBRAC,” said Bulova.

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

Fairfax SymphonyOrchestra opens newseason on Sept. 11.

‘Romeo and Juliet’ and Symphony No. 2,” saidZimmerman. The guest artist is the French pianistPhilippe 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 the

spotlight on itself.”0n Nov. 20, guest conductor Eckart

Preu will lead the orchestra in a per-formance of music from the first halfof the 19th century and the secondhalf of the 20th. Zimmerman de-scribed the musical selections as“sparkling, clean, and clear.” The mis-chief and humor of Rossini’s LaCenerentola Overture contrasts withthe drama and poetic introspectionof Mendelssohn’s Symphony No. 3 ofthe early Romantic Period. Both arecounterbalanced by theunpredictability and rhythmic inten-sity of John Adams’ Violin Concertowhich reaches almost hypnotic pro-portions when played by guest art-ist, Timothy Fain on violin.

The Jan. 15, 2011 program willmark both the Fairfax Symphony’s first concert in aseries of double performances, and its debut perfor-mance at the beautiful new Hylton Performing ArtsCenter in Manassas. From England, Central Europeand the United States, Zimmerman has chosen threemasterpieces that he believes aptly exemplify West

How would you like state ofthe art LASER dentistrywithout drills or needles?

What would you say if you could have your fillings placed painlessly without drills or needles,with laser precision and comfort? You’d probably say, “Where do I sign up?” Well, now you canwith a revolutionary new laser we call the Water Laser. You may have seen it on TV lately.

This new Waterlase® is a breakthrough in comfortable dentistry. The laser sprays a computer-controlled spray of air, water and laser energy at the decay in the tooth. The laser energy isabsorbed by the water and the energized microscopic water droplets are what actually removethe tooth decay. Rarely is a shot necessary to numb the patient. Since no heat is generatedfrom the laser the Waterlase® is very safe to use on everyone.

What are the benefits of Waterlase® dentistry?� Patient Comfort

Heat, vibration and pressure are the primary causes of pain associated with the use of thetraditional dental drill. Since cutting both hard and soft tissues (teeth and gums) with theWaterlase® does not generate heat, vibration or pressure, many dental procedures can be per-formed with fewer shots, less need for anesthesia, less use of the drill and fewer numb lips! The Waterlase® allows us to prepare teeth with less trauma which results in significantly lesstooth sensitivity after new fillings. Additionally, using the Waterlase® for gum procedures reduces bleeding, post-operative pain,swelling and the need for pain medication in many cases. That means a new level of comfortand satisfaction for your entire family.

� SterilizationThe laser sterilizes the tooth as it removes decay. This is very important. Because of bacterial

contamination, many of you have had old fillings replaced with either new fillings, or in manycases, with crowns--and sometimes even root canals!! The reoccurrence of decay under fillingsis a primary reason so many root canals are needed. Since this new laser sterilizes the tooth asit removes decay, and since many dentists now use ‘bonded’ filling materials enriched withfluoride, the chances of ever having recurrent decay under that new filling are much lower.

� Great for TeenagersThe Waterlase® is especially great for teenagers. Sure, if the dentist is very good, shots

should not really be painful. But KNOWING you’re getting a shot is psychologically painfuleven if you can’t feel the needle--especially for teenagers. By not getting a shot, not feeling thevibration of the drill, and by not hearing the loud drill, kids never become afraid of the den-tist, so they don’t grow up to be adults afraid of the dentist.

By incorporating laser technology into our dental practice, we are changing dentistry. It isno longer yesterday’s world of painful shots, large silver mercury fillings, and fearful patients.Lasers have improved the lives of patients and their dentists.

Technology is something that makes life better. Better in this case is better clinical results,improved patient comfort, less use of anesthesia and antibiotics. We are proud to be one of the first dentists in Fairfax County to offer this revolutionary tech-nology. Since August 2003, Dr. Fox has completed over 3,000 laser fillings with no needle/nopain/no numbness. If you’ve been putting off going to the dentist because you were nervousabout the drill and needle, you don’t have to put it off any longer!

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.

Fairfax Station’sReal HistoryTo the Editor:

I am a Civil War history and rail-road buff and I really enjoyed thearticle “Sense of Place” [Connec-tion, Aug. 26-Sept. 1, 2010]. Therewere a few errors in the article thatshould be clarified.

1). The article refers to the oldO&A Railroad bridge on OldColchester Road. The original O&ARail line was at grade with the OldColchester Road. The bridge andresulting tunnel mentioned in thearticle were built by the Southern

Railway during 1901-1902, whenthat company realigned the rail-road bed. So the tunnel is underthe Southern Railway Bridge andnot the O&A. The O&A actuallywent out of existence in 1867when it merged with the ManassasGap Rail Road. Subsequent merg-ers brought these lines under theSouthern Railway name in 1894.

2). After the battles of 2ndManassas and Ox Hill, the Federalsvacated the area of the FairfaxTrain Station. Nan Netherton iswrong in her book “Fairfax Sta-tion: All Aboard.” Barton may haveseen the station on fire, but it wasset by the Federals and not theConfederates as stated in her bookand referenced in the Connectionarticle. Herman Haupt, chief ofconstruction and transportation ofthe United States Military Railroad(USMRR) gave the order to oneof his subordinates to destroy thestation. In his memoirs publishedin 1901, “Reminiscences of Gen-eral Herman Haupt,” he clearlystates on page 133 that he givesthe order to M. J. McCrickett todestroy all property left at the sta-tion and retire immediately. Addi-tional Sept 2, 1882 correspon-dence from him to McCrickett tellsMcCrickett to come on foot toBurkes Station after destroyingFairfax and take the awaiting trainto Alexandria. McCrickett’s finalact at Fairfax was to wire John H.Devereux that he had fired it.

3). The station called Devereuxwas not built until 1863. At firstwhen built, it was simply referredto as Stop 6 and its name was laterchanged to Devereux station. Itwas renamed Clifton in 1868.

clothing and rode her white horse Willie aroundthe Workhouse courtyard while children marchedbehind holding signs they made beforehand.

The festivities continued after Spahn’s ceremonialride at neighboring Occoquan Regional Park on thefuture site of the Turning Point Committee’s plannedmemorial to women’s suffrage. Flanked by a host oflocal dignitaries, including Sen. George Barker (D-39), Northern Virginia Regional Park Authority Ex-ecutive Director Paul Gilbert and former state sena-tor Emilie Miller, Jane Barker discussed the conceptof the time capsule and explained that the groupdecided to bury one so that future generations willknow the amount of work that went into preservingthe memory of the women who fought for equality.

“It makes me feel humbled in a way, to see thesethings in honor of [my great-grandmother],” saidRaymund Nolan, whose great-grandmother wasMary Nolan, the oldest suffragist imprisoned at theOccoquan Workhouse for picketing the White House.“It’s a real justification of her suffragette activitiesand to see her recognize for those endeavors makesme very proud of her.”

Prior to its burial, the capsule, made of PVC pip-ing, was filled with a number of things that heldsymbolic value or simply documented importantbenchmarks in the process to get the memorial built.According to committee member Linda Goldstein,the committee put an AmericanFlag, a congressional proclama-tion from U.S. Rep. GerryConnolly (D-11), a photo ofMary Nolan, a committee bro-chure and picture, a 2009 Sil-ver Eagle coin and variousnewspaper articles, amongother things, into the capsule.After it was sealed, all membersof the audience were invited tosign the capsule, which wasthen ceremonially dropped into a pre-dug hole byBarker and park manager John Hauser.

According to Jane Barker, the capsule will be un-

earthed 10 years from now,which is not only the 100th an-niversary of women’s suffrage,but also the targeted comple-tion date for the memorial it-self. Currently, the design stageis complete, but $2-4 million isstill needed for materials andlabor, and Jane Barker said thatthe committee is actively solic-iting donations to cover thecost.

“The memorial is long overdue,” Jane Barker said.“But we are absolutely thrilled to be working on sucha wonderful project.”

Joe Hoffmaster, owner ofHoffmaster’s Marina in Woodbridge, broughthis own boat to take the children water-ski-ing and also had two of his customers bringtheirs as well to give boat rides around thebay. In addition, the Gettysburg, Pa.-based Onthe Edge Children’s Foundation and Coble SkiSchool of Lillington, N.C. both worked directlywith the children to teach them how to waterski, among other things.

“This event is just incredible,” said DianneKasper of the On the Edge Children’s Founda-tion. “The families think that we’re doing it

for them, but what they don’t realize is howgood it makes us feel to provide this experi-ence.”

After several nonstop hours of skiing, swim-ming, boating and rowing, the children andtheir families were treated to a complimentarylunch from Outback Steakhouse and Bob EvansRestaurant as the event came to a close. Thoughthey were still draped in towels, dripping wetand recovering from excessive exhilaration, thechildren were already talking about next year’sExtreme Recess, beaming with pride about theday’s achievements while their parents lookedon in delight.

“This event is truly amazing,” said RajiThummalapalli, Adith’s mother. “Dreams forKids not only made Adith’s day, but they madehis dreams come true.”

ern music’s profound and beautiful legacy. Bernstein’sOverture to “Candide” and Dvorak’s Symphony No.9, “From the New World” are traditional audiencefavorites, beloved in the repertoire. Walton’s ViolinConcerto, not as frequently performed, will featureguest artist Chee-Yun, who returns to the FSO afterher acclaimed performance of Sylvie Bodorova’s“Concerto dei Fiore” 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 season

will close with another double performance on May14,, 2011 at GMU’s Center for the Arts in Fairfax andon May 15 at the Hylton Performing Arts Center inManassas. The Fairfax Choral Society, with ArtisticDirector Douglas Mears, and the Reston Chorale withArtistic Director David Brian Lang, join the FSO in aperformance of Mahler’s spectacular Symphony No.2,“Resurrection.” A step beyond Beethoven’s 9th, “Res-urrection” is a musical journey which speaks of thehuman condition in all its complexities and paradoxesand touches on the nature of existence, religion, andthe afterlife. “Only Mahler could embrace such anambitious agenda and succeed in producing one ofthe most exciting, beautiful and exultant works thathas 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’swebsite. 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.

The Connection

Professional baseball player Bran-don Snyder, a 2005 WestfieldHigh graduate who led the Bull-dogs to the Northern Region title

during his senior season, has spent the 2010season with the Norfolk Tides, the triple-Aaffiliate of the Baltimore Orioles.

Through games of Aug. 31, Snyder, a firstbaseman, was batting .257 with nine homeruns and 43 RBIs over 98 games. The 6-foot-2 inch, 215-pound right-handed bat-ter also had 22 doubles. He knocked threehits with two RBIs in Norfolk’s 8-6 homeloss versus the Durham Bulls on Aug. 19.And on Tuesday (Aug. 31) of this week inthe Tides’ 5-2 home win over the GwinnettBraves, Snyder gave his team an early 2-0lead when he lifted a two-run home runover the right field fence in the bottom ofthe second inning. He finished the night 2-for-3 at the plate.

Snyder was the Orioles’ first round selec-tion (13th pick overall) in the 2005 first yearplayer draft. Last year, between double-ABowie and Norfolk, Snyder batted .289 with12 homers and 88 RBIs.

While he is not in the big leagues yet,Snyder, 23, is a part of the Orioles’ current40-man roster and could be a Septembercall-up this week when Major League ros-ters expand.

WHILE SNYDER is looking to soon breakinto the Major Leagues, three former North-ern Region players are all currently pitch-ing for big league teams.

Shawn Camp (Robinson Secondary), whowas born in Fairfax and played collegiatebaseball at George Mason University, is a

right-handed relief pitcher this season forthe Toronto Blue Jays. Through Aug. 31,Camp was 4-2 with a 2.67 ERA over 60-2/3 innings of work. On Monday, Aug. 23, hepitched a scoreless inning in the Blue Jays’3-2 home win over the Yankees. Last Fri-day night, Aug. 27, Camp earned the winin Toronto’s 3-2 home victory over the De-troit Tigers. In the outing, Camp tossed twoscoreless innings, allowing no hits and walk-ing two.

Originally selected by the San Diego Pa-dres in the 16th round of the 1997 first yearplayer draft, Camp is currently in his sev-enth season in the big leagues. He spenttwo years playing for the Kansas City Roy-als (2004-05), two more with the TampaBay Rays (2006-07) and is in his third yearwith the Blue Jays. He has always pitchedout of the bullpen as a Major Leaguer and,including this season, holds a career recordof 18-22 with a 4.47 ERA in 348 appear-ances. His most wins in a season came in2006 with the Rays when he went 7-4 as areliever.

Camp, a 1994 graduate of Robinson,played catcher for the Rams in high school.At George Mason University, he ultimatelyconverted to pitcher under the tutelage offormer Patriots’ assistant coach DaytonMoore, a South Lakes High graduate andcurrent General Manager of the Kansas CityRoyals.

As a professional, Camp spent time inboth the Padres and Pirates’ organizationsbefore ultimately getting traded to the Roy-als. He made his Major League debut onOpening Day 2004.

ANOTHER FORMER Robinson baseballplayer — left-handed relief pitcher J.C.Romero — is also enjoying a successful

Major League career. Romero, currently amember of the Philadelphia Phillies, is inhis 12th season as a big leaguer. This sea-son, in 47 relief appearances, he is 1-0 withthree saves and a 3.82 ERA. On Tuesday,Aug. 31, Romero threw one scoreless in-ning, allowing no hits, in the Phillies’ 8-4win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles.

THE MINNESOTA Twins selected Romeroin the 21st round of the 1997 draft. Hereached the Majors in September of 1999with the Twins. He played for Minnesotathrough the 2005 season, working exclu-sively out of the bullpen his final four sea-sons in the Twin Cities. His best season withMinnesota was in 2002 when, in 81 reliefappearances, he was 9-2 with a 1.89 ERA.He spent 2006 with the Angels and part of2007 with the Boston Red Sox before beingreleased by Boston in June of that season.He was picked up within a week by thePhillies and has remained with the Philliesever since. He was the winning pitcher in

two games of the 2008 World Series whenthe Phillies defeated Tampa Bay.

Arizona Diamondbacks’ starting south-paw pitcher Joe Saunders, a graduate ofWest Springfield High School, is 2-4 with a4.70 ERA since getting traded from theAnaheim Angels to the Diamondbacks ear-lier this season. Saunders earned the vic-tory in Arizona’s 7-2 home win over the SanDiego Padres earlier this week on Monday,Aug. 30, allowing 10 hits and two runs overeight innings of work. He walked none andstruck out two. In another recent outing onAug. 19, Saunders, in his team’s 9-5 Ari-zona loss to the Cincinnati Reds, was thepitcher of record, allowing four runs andeight hits while striking out five over sixinnings. Prior to the trade to Arizona,Saunders was 6-10 with a 4.62 ERA for theAngels.

Saunders is a former Virginia Tech pitcher.Drafted by the Angels in the first round ofthe 2002 draft, Saunders won 17 games forthe Angels in 2008 and 16 for them last year.

Right-hander Brandon Kuter, a2009 Robinson Secondary School

graduate, enjoyed a successfulsummer of baseball in Long Island.

Brandon Kuter, a George MasonUniversity baseball reliefpitcher, spent the summer in

Long Island, N.Y. where he pitched forthe Westhampton Aviators of the At-lantic Collegiate Baseball League.

Pitching 21-1/3 innings over 15games, Kuter recorded 31 strikeoutsand was credited with a win and asave.ºAt the annual Hampton DivisionScout Day, his fastball registered 94miles per hour on the radar gun —the hardest throwing pitcher at theevent.
