Featuring a cast and crew of 75, “Guysand Dolls Jr.” will burst upon the Lib-erty Middle School stage.
Show times are Thursday and Friday,March 18-19, at 7 p.m., and Saturday,March 20, at 2 and 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 atthe door and during school lunches, start-ing March 15.
“The kids are very excited about it,” saidTheater Director Jody Scott. “And what agreat opportunity this is for middle-schoolstudents to be exposed to Broadway musi-cals.”
It’s also the first year she’s let some ofthem help with the choreography and, saidScott, “They’re taking a lot of initiative andhave been very motivated by doing this jun-ior version of ‘Guys and Dolls.’ Most of them
weren’t familiar with this show, but they’vetaken to it and are right on spot with theirprogress.”
Gambler Nathan Detroit runs “the oldestestablished permanent floating crap game”in New York. He bets that gambler SkyMasterson can’t persuade Sarah Brown ofthe Save-A-Soul Mission to go on a date toHavana with him, and the story unfolds.
“At first, it’s just a bet to him,” said eighth-grader Fred Gortler, portraying Masterson.
“But then Sky starts having feelings for her,right before the song, ‘Luck be a Lady.’ He’ssmooth and sophisticated and looks like heknows exactly what he’s doing all the time— although sometimes he has no clue.”
Fred says it’s fun exploring his role withvariations on Sky’s body language, pausesand inflections. He’s also enjoying playinga lead. “It’s a lot of pressure to know yourlines but, once you do, you can play more

Guilty PleasExaminer’s Office, presented hisfindings after performing Vidarte’sautopsy.
He said cause of death was agunshot wound to the neck andchest, where the bullet perforatedVidarte’s left lung. SaidChittenden: “It was a contactwound — meaning the muzzle ofthe barrel of the gun was in con-tact with the surface of the skin atthe time the bullet was dischargedfrom the gun.”
In court, Loudoun Sheriff’s In-vestigator Mark Bush relatedAlvarado’s account of the incidentto him. Bush said Alvarado andVidarte prepared to fight eachother and, according to Alvarado,Nurse tried to “act as a peace-keeper and break up the fight.”
“They exchanged words andBryan hit Nurse in the face, twoor three times,” continued Bush.“Before Alvarado could get be-tween them, Nurse pulled out agun and fired a shot. Alvarado saidhe knew Nurse brought a weaponwith him to the party.”

SOUTHERN EDITION
While most states are working onways in increase revenues duringthe recession, which cost states
across the country more than $80 million injust 12 months in 2009, Virginia’s governorappears to be looking for a way to give awayfuture state revenue.
Virginia already has a public-private trans-portation act, which paved the way forthe ongoing construction of “High Oc-cupancy Toll” Lanes on the Beltway forexample.
Public-private partnerships have their place.But a last minute proposal in the Virginia
General Assembly would not only allow theprivate entity to collect direct revenue from aproject, like tolls, but would also allow agree-ments that would pay the private company aportion of increases in tax revenues that mightresult from the project.
If this were in place when the HOT-Lanesagreement was written, for example, the Com-monwealth of Virginia might be paying theprivate company in this public-private partner-ship quarterly payments equal to as much as50 percent of income taxes paid by construc-tion workers and engineers working on theproject, plus a similar proportion of sales taxespaid on equipment and materials purchasedfor the project, plus “multiplier or spin-off eco-nomic activity,” and so on, in addition to theagreement that allows the company to collectthe tolls on the road for more than half a cen-tury.
No Way Assembly should kill bill that would pave wayto hand state tax revenues to private companiesin public-private transportation projects.
Editorial
CONSIDER: The bill, HB 1395, allows for thestate to pay grants to a private entity out of a“portion of the growth in state taxes attribut-able to the development of the project.”
“State tax revenues attributable to such eco-nomic activity may include, but shall not be
limited to, state tax revenues from (i)wages, salaries, and contract paymentspaid to persons in the development ofthe transportation facility; (ii) purchases
of machinery, equipment, and materials in thedevelopment of the transportation facility; (iii)insurance premiums paid; (iv) the productionof goods or services at business locations withina geographical area surrounding or adjacentto the transportation facility; and (v) multi-plier or spin-off economic activity relating tothe development of the transportation facilityincluding, but not limited to, wages, salaries,and contract payments paid to multiplier orspin-off jobs.”
The money would be paid out of the Gen-eral Fund, money intended to pay for basics ofeducation, public safety and a social safety net,all facing draconian cuts right now.
If that isn’t scary enough, the bill would alsoallow localities and “authorities” to enter intosuch agreements.
MANY OTHER STATES that have enteredinto public-private transportation projects havedone so by having the private company pay
huge up-front cash payments, billions of dol-lars, in exchange for “leasing” a toll road,that is collecting the tolls for some often verylong period of time into the future. In theHOT Lanes example, the company is widen-ing the Beltway and replacing and repairingbridges, etc., between approximately theAmerican Legion Bridge and the MixingBowl, in exchange for being able to chargean as-yet-to-be determined toll to drive in alane that will be kept free of congestion byraising the tolls, likely much higher than the$4.15 each way currently charged on theDulles Greenway. Vehicles with three or moreoccupants (high-occupancy) will ride in thecongestion-free lanes without charge. Orthat’s the plan.
At the point that the state believes that it’sappropriate to collect tolls approaching $10for a round trip on a portion of their com-mute, it makes sense to investigate the fundsavailable to the state directly by issuingbonds based on that revenue stream.
It’s not clear who is looking out for the bestinterests of the citizens of Virginia in thesepartnerships. Details of some proposals, likea proposal for HOT-Lanes on I-95 appear tobuild in many guarantees and protections forthe private companies, but less for the Vir-ginians who would be paying the tolls or whocould be getting less benefit for their taxdollars.

New Roadway Safety EffortSully District police officers are taking a LEAD in traffic safety
with their new initiative, Let’s Eliminate Aggressive Driving.Throughout March, officers are implementing a variety of en-forcement techniques and strategies to curtail dangerous driv-ing behaviors on and around the Sully District and Route 28corridor. Police will focus their efforts during morning andevening, heavily commuted travel periods. Authorities say ag-gressive driving often peaks with warm weather and extendedhours of daylight.
Free Carseat InspectionsCertified technicians from the Sully District Police Station will
perform free, child safety carseat inspections Thursday, March11, and Thursday, March 25, from 5-8:30 p.m., at the station,4900 Stonecroft Blvd. in Chantilly. No appointment is necessary.But residents should install the child safety seats themselves sotechnicians may properly inspect and adjust them, as needed.

Students Perform ‘Guys and Dolls Jr.’with the character, itself.” His favorite song is “Luck
be a Lady,” which he sings. “It really embodies Sky’spersonality,” said Fred. “He wants to win the bet andwill go to just about any lengths to do it.”
He said the audience will like the stories of theshow’s two main couples, as well as the costumes.“The Hot Box girls’ costumes are especially good,”he said. “They really look the part.”
PLAYING SARAH is eighth-grader Meghan Pollard.“The mission’s goal is to turn the city’s sinners intogood, religious people,” she said. “In the beginning,Sarah’s uptight, prim and proper. But as the showprogresses and she starts having feelings for Sky, shechanges into more of a loving, emotional character.”
Meghan likes showing that transformation and saysit’s fun interacting with the other characters sinceBrown’s relationship with the mission staff is so dif-ferent from her relationship with the gamblers. Shealso likes the song, “I’ll Know,” sung by her and Fred,since it illustrates the growing love between Sarahand Sky. Explained Meghan: “She’s trying to convinceherself she doesn’t like him, when she really does.”
She said the show should appeal to all ages: “Thecostumes are colorful and represent the characters’personalities, and the songs and dances are classicBroadway.”
Seventh-grader Nora Winsler portrays Nathan’sfiancé Adelaide, a dancer at the Hot Box nightclub.“She doesn’t like Nathan to gamble,” said Nora.“They’ve been engaged 14 years, and she really wantsto get married. But he keeps putting it off, and she’sgetting impatient with him.”
Nora likes her character’s lines and New York ac-cent, and her favorite number is “A Bushel and a Peck”which she sings and dances with the Hot Box girls.“We got to choreograph the second half, ourselves,so that was lots of fun,” she said. “I’ve grown reallyclose to a lot of the kids, made new friends and had
a good time.”Playing Nathan Detroit is eighth-grader J.T. Gray.
“He’s smarter than the other gamblers and is in lovewith Adelaide; but if he gets married, he’ll have togive up the crap game,” said J.T. “He’s friendly andsociable and everybody knows him — he’s ‘good, ol’reliable Nathan.’”
After watching the 1950 movie with Frank Sinatraas Nathan, said J.T., “I’ve tried to use Sinatra’s per-formance as a foundation for playing him. And ittakes time learning all the lines, songs and choreog-raphy.”
His favorite song is “The Oldest Established,” whichhe sings. “It’s upbeat and, at that point, we don’thave a place for the crap game,” said J.T. “Then herecome all the other gamblers, putting their confidencein Nathan that he’ll find a place.”
LIGHTING CREW member Soo Yeon Lee operatesa spotlight. “When the curtains close and we go to anew scene, we fade it,” she said. “And when a char-acter does a solo, we put the spotlight on him or her.I’m looking forward to it because lighting is a bigpart of the play.”
The sets show New York, the mission hall, the HotBox Club and Havana. “Parents built part of the sets,and I’m so fortunate to have several mothers who’vestepped forward to make or borrow costumes,” saidDirector Scott. “And Liberty music teachers NancyHayes and Gary Verhagen, plus music intern JoanKleinman, set up the sound system, taught the songsand even make suggestions about the acting.”
Scott said the audience will enjoy the budding ro-mance between Sky and Sarah and the comic rela-tionship between Adelaide and Nathan. “They’ll likethe energy from everybody in the cast,” she said. “Ialso have some super tech kids, and everything runssmoothly because of them. All these elements to-gether, plus the singing and dancing, make for ahighly entertaining and dynamic show.”

Directing the musical is 2008 Westfield High gradRachel Harrington, who says things are going great.“The kids are really excited and I am, too,” she said.“I’m directing my first, full-length show and I’m en-joying it. I’m having lots of fun getting to know thekids and learning the little, ins and outs of direct-ing.”
Parent Tina Dempsey created most of the costumes,and parents Chris Burroughs and Jennifer DeFreecemade the sets. “It looks like a kid’s coloring book,”said Harrington. “There are blocks, a school bus,Lucy’s psychiatry stand and Schroeder’s piano.”
The story is a compilation of all of Charles Schulz’scartoons and what the characters do, every day. “Itshows you can get happiness out of the simplethings,” said Harrington. “It’s upbeat and fun. Thecharacters are entertaining and the kids really bringthem to life.”
Playing Charlie Brown is Rocky Run eighth-graderBrandon Sanchez. “He has a lot of friends in hisneighborhood and he and Snoopy are really closefriends,” said Brandon. “But he’s depressed all thetime and feels like he can’t do anything right, like flya kite or win a baseball game. Nothing good ever

‘Good Man, Charlie Brown’ at Centreville Presbyterianme,” he said. Julian especially likes“Beethoven’s Day” because of its emotion— “Schroeder so dearly wants people toappreciate Beethoven and his work, but hedoesn’t want it to be commercialized.”
He says the audience will appreciate thecast’s spirit and the characters’ youthful en-thusiasm. “They’ll also like the energy andcolorful costumes and set that catch theeye,” he said. “And the songs are so differ-ent from each other that they’ll walk awaywith a full spectrum of melodies.”
PLAYING SNOOPY the dog is Rocky Runseventh-grader Johnny Pace. “Snoopy’s laidback and lives in his own, little world,” saidJohnny. “He imagines he’s a WWI flying aceand he’s pretty philosophical and says somereally deep stuff. Suppertime is one of themost important things in his life. He thinksabout it all day and always bothers CharlieBrown, asking if it’s suppertime, yet. Andwhen he’s not sleeping or eating, he’s tak-ing part in the Peanuts gang’s adventures.”
Johnny says he’s fun to play because ofhis personality. “He walks around and talkslike a normal person,” he said. “People con-sider him a dog, but he thinks like a per-son. He also sings two solos; my favorite is‘Suppertime,’ about how great suppertimeis. It’s an energetic song and has a kick linedancing to it.”
He said the audience will enjoy how the
story’s told from a child’s, innocent perspec-tive. “It’s fluid like a comic strip and goesfrom one plot to another,” said Johnny. “Butultimately, it leads to the characters realiz-ing that happiness is anything you love.”
Stone eighth-grader Jessica Sheftel por-trays Lucy. “She has a huge crush onSchroeder,” said Jessica. “She’s also crabbyand full of herself and thinks she’s all that.She’s mean to her brother Linus, but alsolikes teaching him about life.” Jessica likesher role because “you get to go out of yournormal character and go back to beingyounger and acting like a little brat.”
She especially likes the number, “TheDoctor is In,” which she sings with Bran-don. Said Jessica: “I get to tell CharlieBrown all the things wrong with him, andit’s fun to see his reaction.” She said theaudience will like the cheerful costumes andbright, colorful set.
Carrie Burroughs, a Stone seventh-grader,plays Sally, Charlie’s younger sister. “She’skind of an airhead — a bratty, little sisterwho annoys her brother,” said Carrie. “Andshe has a big crush on Linus. She’s fun toplay because I feel like I’m a little girl again.Sally’s spunky, and people say I look andsometimes act like her.”
Carrie’s favorite song is “My New Philoso-phy,” in which she and Julian sing lots ofsayings together. “By the end of the song,he runs offstage because he thinks I’mcrazy,” she said. As for the play, she said,“The set pieces are really big to make uslook small and more realistic as children,and it’s a family show that’s great foryounger kids.”
Snoopy (Johnny Pace) and CharlieBrown (Brandon Sanchez) are bestpals.

But Brandon’s having a good time withhis part. “It’s my first, main role, and Charliesings lots of really neat songs and has aunique personality that makes him fun toplay,” he said. “It feels really good to playthe lead.”
His favorite number is his solo, “The Kite.”Charlie’s trying to fly a kite but, as usually,he’s having no luck. “The song has a bigrange, and it’s funny what happens in it,”said Brandon. He said the audience willenjoy all the characters, songs and dances,plus the show’s humor. And, he added,“Adults will like it as much as kids becausethey’ll understand some jokes that kidswon’t.”
Brandon’s twin brother Julian, also aRocky Run eighth-grader, portraysSchroeder. “He’s like a 40-year-old man inan 8-year-old’s body,” said Julian. “He’s in-terested in classical music, but I think hehas a Gospel side to him, which is expressedin the song, ‘Beethoven’s Day.’ He’s friendlyand curious about the world and has plansfor himself; he wants to be older so he canwrite countless symphonies.”
Like his character, said Julian, he, too,would like to be older and do great things.“And I also have a Gospel-singing side to

Two Plead Guilty to Teen’s KillingNurse for the gun … to intimidate Vidarte so he’d
walk away,” said Bush. “But then Vidarte struckNurse.” Bush said Vidarte was shot in the road and,afterward, made his way to the back fence, wherehe died.
Bush said Alvarado didn’t want to fight Vidarte,just talk to him, but Vidarte allegedly told him andNurse he was going to “kick their [butts],” and thenthey started yelling at each other. Bush said Alvaradotold him he never touched the gun, nor intendedanyone to get hurt.
SHERIFF’S INVESTIGATOR Kelly Poland inter-rogated Nurse. She said he told her that, beforeVidarte hit him, Alvarado told Nurse, “Gimme your
gun; I’m gonna shoot him.” Then Vidarte punchedNurse and he shot Vidarte, said Poland, adding,“[Nurse] stated it was self-defense and he was try-ing to get Vidarte off him.” However, Vidarte’s con-tact wound contradicted Nurse’s explanation.
“Bryan went back and Alvarado was over him, tus-sling and wrestling on the ground,” said Poland. “Thegun was a .380 automatic weapon. [Nurse] said hedidn’t aim it – he just pulled the trigger and fired” asVidarte was about to strike him a second time.
Poland said Nurse was upset to discover Vidartehad died and told her he’d had no intention of kill-ing him. Nurse didn’t reveal why he’d brought a gunto the party; she said he’d worn it for “his protec-tion.” The end result was Vidarte’s death and, now,both men responsible for it have been convicted.

For Haddock, It’s Back Home Where He Belongs
Craig Sterbutzel/The Connection
Chris Haddock is a 1993 graduateof Hampden-Sydney College.
By Rich Sanders

For Chris Haddock, being named thenew head football coach atCentreville High School is a home-
coming of sorts because of his longtime tiesto the area.
“My parents still live in the house I grewup in,” said Haddock, born and raised inCentreville.
Haddock, who was officially named theWildcats’ new coach last Wednesday, March3, is anxious to begin the re-building pro-cess for a storied football program whichhas fallen on tough times in recent years.He replaces Gerry Pannoni, who guided theWildcats the past three years.
Centreville went 6-5 and qualified for theNorthern Region playoffs in Pannoni’s firstseason in the fall of 2007. But the Wild-cats, members of the Concorde District, fol-lowed that up with disappointing 1-9 and3-7 records in ’08 and ’09, respectively —the football program’s only losing cam-paigns in its 20-year history. Centreville’spast success includes six district titles andthree region crowns.
Haddock, who helped rebuild the FairfaxHigh football program as the Rebels’ headcoach the past three years, gives Centrevillea fresh start following two lean years. Hehas a bright outlook on the prospects of theprogram returning to its winning ways.
“I’ve considered Centreville one of theelite programs for a long time and am veryexcited to join the ranks,” said Haddock. “Istill think it’s a [football program] withgreat potential.”
Mike Campbell, Centreville High princi-pal, is thrilled to have Haddock comingaboard.
“We are delighted to have Chris Haddockjoin the staff at Centreville High School,”stated Campbell, in an e-mail earlier thisweek. “He has proven that he is a winner

and rebuilt the program at Fairfax and tookthem to the playoffs in his third year. Wefelt he was the perfect fit because he livesin the Centreville community, has coachedmultiple sports and communicates well withthe student-athletes. He was just hired lastweek and has met with kids, parents andthe booster club.”
Haddock, currently a social studiesteacher at Fairfax High, has already becomea visible presence in the Centreville Highathletics community.
“He is throwing batting practice this weekto our baseball team and attended severalof our basketball games,” said Campbell. “Iknow the students, parents and communityare very excited to have Chris on board asthe new coach.”
HADDOCK, who grew up playing sportswithin the Southwestern Youth Association,is a 1988 graduate of Chantilly High School,where he competed athletically in football,basketball and baseball. He was part of aChargers’ basketball team that upset SouthLakes in a first round Northern Region play-
off game in 1988. That South Lakes squadfeatured future NBA star Grant Hill, the bestplayer to ever come out of the region.Chantilly went as far as the region final fourthat postseason before losing to eventualstate AAA champion Lee High (Springfield).
He went on to attend Hampden-SydneyCollege (Va.) where he competed athleti-cally in both football and baseball andearned a bachelor’s degree in history. Had-dock, a 1993 graduate of Hampden-Sydney,went on earn his master’s degree in educa-tion at George Mason University.
He has coached high school sports withinFairfax County for the past 15 years. Hespent a year at W.T. Woodson before return-ing to his alma mater — Chantilly — for 11years. There, Haddock spent several foot-ball seasons as the Chargers’ defensive co-ordinator. Chantilly head football coachesover those years were Dan Meier, Bob Herband Ken Kincaid. Haddock was part ofMeier’s coaching staff that led the Charg-ers to the state AAA title in 1996.
“He was a great mentor,” said Haddock,of Meier, who is currently the principal at
Robinson High School. “He had been verysuccessful [as head football coach] at WestPotomac prior to arriving at Chantilly. Hebrought a winning attitude and philosophy.”
One of Haddock’s fondest memories ofbeing a part of the Chantilly football coach-ing staff was working with fellow assistantFred Welch, who was the head coach atChantilly when Haddock played there. Had-dock, during his high school career, playedin the Chargers’ defensive secondary for twovarsity seasons.
Haddock served as an assistant baseballcoach at Chantilly from 1993 through 2000before taking the helm as head coach of theprogram for the next four years. Twice, heled the Chargers to the region baseball play-offs.
Over the past six years Haddock hascoached within the Fairfax High footballprogram. He was defensive coordinator onhead coach Mat Shannon’s staff for a fewyears before becoming the Rebels’ headcoach in 2007. Fairfax got better and betterover his three seasons as head coach,

“I had a great experience,” saidHaddock, of his time as head coachat Fairfax. “This is a great placeand I worked with a lot of greatkids and people. It was great tosee Fairfax football get better ev-ery year. We made the playoffs lastyear and that was great for thekids and the school.”
Haddock credited his players atFairfax with turning the programaround.
“The kids here worked veryhard,” said Haddock, whose finalgame as the Fairfax head coachwas a 19-14 playoff loss to even-tual Div. 6 region champion LakeBraddock. “[The program] hadbeen struggling to win. To seethem have the success last yearwas exciting.”

Concorde District, known as oneof the toughest district’s in thestate. The Rebels were moved tothe Liberty District in 2009.
NOW, as the new coach atCentreville, Haddock is back in theConcorde which consists of severalschools which have known vastfootball success, such as Robinson,Westfield, Chantilly and Oakton.
“I’ve spent most of my careercoaching in the Concorde Districtso I’m familiar with the schools,the teams and the district,” saidHaddock. “I’m very much lookingforward to getting back in that at-mosphere.”
Haddock met his new team lastThursday.
“There was a nice turnout [ofplayers] and I think the kids wereexcited to see a new face andmaybe hear a different message,”he said.
Haddock said Centreville willrun out of the run-oriented WingT formation next fall.
“I’ve always liked to play a physi-cal brand of football,” he said.“Defense needs to be the backboneand we need to be aggressive. Onoffense we’ll run first and pass sec-ond.”
He believes success at runningthe football and playing hard-nosed defense is a winning for-mula.
“When the weather changes[and it gets cold] it’s a philosophythat will work,” he said.
Indeed, the future looks brightagain for a Centreville High foot-ball program that has beentroubled by a couple of downyears.
“Coach Haddock will bring a tonof enthusiasm, tradition and expe-rience to Centreville football,” saidJimmy Sanabria, Centreville’s di-rector of student activities. “He isa coach who leads by example andwill be an outstanding role modelto the kids and other coaches atCentreville. I really think he bleedsblack and blue.”
The Westfield High boys’swimming team finished seventhamong 25 schools at the NorthernRegion Championships held at OakMarr Recreation Center earlier thismonth. Oakton captured the teamtitle with 244 points, ahead of sec-ond place Fairfax (215), third placeLangley (198) and fourth placeRobinson (193).
