The heat and humidity did littleto deter the crowds of familiesand young people from converging on Church Street as ViVa!
Vienna! kicked off the annual Memorial Daycelebration with 310 vendors, amusementrides and non-stop entertainment.
From smoothies to kebabs and carnivalfare, food vendors sold it hot, cold, fried orfrozen. Many booths, nonprofits andchurches to service industries handed outfree bottles of water. Long lines formed atthe rides, which catered to babies and par-ents and little ones old-enough to ride ontheir own.
Vendors offered jewelry, silk and cottonclothing, trinkets, services, gifts and exoticitems. Politicians fielded public servicetables and financial institutions gave awaylots of things for the home. American Le-gion Post 180 Auxiliary distributed theiconic poppy. Two stages featured live en-tertainment all day.

Week in Vienna
By Donna Manz
The Connection
Soundry co-founder ThorBerglie challenged theworkshop’s member artists,“what can you do with
junk?”The result was a month-long ex-
hibition of works of art — paintings,sculpture and jewelry — createdfrom recycled materials.
On May 18, at the Soundry onDominion Road in Vienna, the Sus-tainable Business Network of Wash-ington co-hosted a “Green is Beauti-ful” Spring Business Cocktail Net-working Reception sponsored byBetterWorld Telecom.
“All the artist members here usedrecycled or organic materials,” saidJennifer Crawford, who founded theSoundry six months ago with herhusband Thor Berglie. “The pieceswere done with the environment inmind. It’s been running for a month.We thought it appropriate to tie inwith Earth Week.”
The guest list, which numbered more than 30people, included SBNOW members and conserva-tion-minded individuals from the Environmental De-fense Fund, sustainable housing divisions, theAudubon Society of Northern Virginia, nature lov-ers, Realtors focusing on sustainable green programsand builders engaged in green housing construction.
“We started [SBNOW] four or five years ago withthe principle that business is the driving force forsocial and economic change,” said John Friedman,chairman of the Board of Directors. Today, hundredsof businesses across the Washington, D.C. area, fo-cusing their products on sustainability, are countedas members.
STEVE BRIGGS, a principal with SAI Contractors,was raised in Vienna and still considers himself a “lo-
cal” boy. His construction companyspecializes in the latest “green” tech-nology. “We’re passionate about thehealth of people and the communityitself. We have choices now we didn’thave in the past. The first house Ibuilt, in 1979, had solar panels.”
Briggs described green technologyas “mostly about VOC [Volatile Or-ganic Compounds].”
Lisa Marie Adams of Reston, a fea-tured sustainable artist who designsimages in intricate paper collages,uses “a lot” of reclaimed old build-ing parts and cut-up greeting cards,from “things that I find that peoplethrew away.”
Adams calls her predisposition tore-use a “family thing that got passeddown.” She said she comes from anon-affluent family, and when youwanted something beautiful, “youmade it.”
“That’s the fun of art,” she said.Matt Patton, another featured art-
ist, paints on wood reclaimed fromconstruction waste.
Along a wall, a large three-dimen-sional piece hangs, with bullets and gun magazinesstuck to it. A police officer created that from re-claimed ammunition.
Brian Legan grew up in Vienna and Oakton andgraduated from VCU on an art scholarship. He paintsabstract collages from his space at the Soundry. Heis satisfied with his work when it speaks is not datedand has a “panache that can sustain itself over time.”
BetterWorld Telecom identifies itself as “the onlynationwide, full-service voice and data telecommu-nications carrier solely focused on serving businessesand organizations that support social justice andsustainability.”
THE SUSTAINABLE ART EXHIBIT ended on May22, but the public is invited to stop by the Soundryto view works-in-progress.

When JenniferLindsey ofVienna had herlong hair cut sev-
eral years ago, on behalf of Locksof Love, her young daughter,Amelia, was “really surprised” shedid that.
Amelia, however, was not sur-prised at herself when she decidedto emulate her mother last week.
“I wanted to try something newwith my hair and I thought itwould be nice to do Locks of Love,like my mom, to donate your hairto girls with problems growingtheir own hair or because they lostit,” said the 10-year-old. “Nobodyelse I know is doing it.”
Locks of Love accepts humanhair to be made into wigs for girlsexperiencing long-term medicalhair loss, particularly alopeciaareata, an autoimmune disease.The nonprofit organization sellshairpieces, on a sliding scale cost,to financially disadvantaged chil-dren in the United States andCanada under the age of 18.
JENNIFER LINDSEY has do-nated hair on two occasions overthe past couple of years. When shefirst heard of Locks of Love, shethought on how lucky she is tohave “thick hair that grows likeweeds. How great that we’re in aposition to help these kids wholose their own hair.”
Amelia, a fourth-grader atColvin Run Elementary School inVienna, had her almost-waist-length hair shorn at a Great Fallssalon on May 14. More than 12inches of the girl’s golden-brownhair was cut and tied up for con-tribution to Locks of Love.
Alopecia results in the involun-tary loss of hair, primarily from thescalp area. The National AlopeciaAreata Foundation estimates that2 percent of the worldwide popu-lation has from the disease, 5 mil-lion in the U.S. alone. It affectsmen, women and children.
Locks of Love indicates that 80percent of all donations come fromchildren who wish to help otherchildren. The organization hasgenerated controversy because itsells unused hair to commercialmanufacturers.
The Pantene Beautiful Lengthscampaign provides wigs free towomen undergoing chemo-
therapy.“When Amelia had her hair cut,
she was so excited,” said JenniferLindsey. “She floated out of thesalon. She would definitely do itagain.”
As for Amelia, she is happy justto know that someone will benefitfrom her haircut. “I don’t need tosee the wig because I know that itwill look like me,” she said.
To learn more about donatinghair to Locks of Love or PanteneBeautiful Lengths, go to their re-spective Web sites:www.beauti ful lengths.com/en_US/index_home.jsp andwww.locksoflove.org. Seewww.naaf.org for more informa-tion on alopecia areata.

Marshall High’s pitcher-catcher battery duo ofChristine Grilliot andMichelle Tilson were the
impact players in the Statesmen’s’ hard-fought 3-2 Northern Region playoff winover Westfield Friday evening, May 22.
The first-round, postseason contest tookplace on the ball diamond at WestfieldHigh’s Sports Complex.
The victory was an exclamation mark inwhat turned out to be an outstanding sea-son for Marshall under first-year, headcoach Laura Campbell. The team’s seasonultimately ended Monday afternoon at FallsChurch High School when Marshall, on theMemorial Day holiday weekend contest, fellto South County, 4-0. The Statesmen, whotwo weeks ago advanced all the way to theLiberty District tournament finals, finishedwith a 13-10 record.
But Statesmen supporters will rememberlast week’s first round region playoff winover Westfield for a long time. The victorycame over a Bulldogs’ team that is annu-ally among the region’s elite outfits.
Marshall jumped on top early in the game,and Westfield, playing under the pressureof having to catch up, never was able to tiethe score or take the lead.
“I think we played them really tough to-day,” said Campbell, of the win over theBulldogs. “They’re a good team and it feelslike a great victory.”
LEADING THE CHARGE for Marshallwere Grilliot and Tilson. It was Grilliot whowasted little time in knocking what wasperhaps the Statesmen’s biggest hit of theseason, when she sent a three-run homerunover the center field fence in the top of thefirst inning.
The homer, although well hit, barelycleared the fence. But it gave a charge tothe Marshall dugout and the team’s faith-ful fans on hand.
“I knew it was hit hard,” said Campbell.“It was clutch.”
Grilliot was pleased to give her team theearly lead.
“When I first hit it, I thought I got underit. Then I saw it was a homerun. It felt good.Solid contact always feels good,” saidGrilliot, who also hit a double later in thegame. “It got my adrenaline going.”
It was awesome getting three runs in thefirst inning,” said teammate Tilson. “It’shard to come back from that.”
With a three-run lead to work with,Marshall was going to be hard to beat, es-pecially with Grilliot on the mound. Theright hander allowed a first-inning run,coming on an RBI triple from No. 3Westfield hitter Frankie Martinez, but shutthe Bulldogs down from the second throughthe fifth innings. During those four frames,Westfield managed just one single, which
came on a bunt in the fifth inning.With one out in the sixth, Martinez
reached after being hit by a pitch. Two bat-ters later, she scored on a two-out single byKacey McMahon to pull Westfield within 3-2. Grilliot retired the next batter, however,and the game moved into the seventh in-ning with the Statesmen holding onto theone-run lead.
Marshall did not score in the top ofthe seventh. In the bottom half of theinning, Westfield had life when AlexBurnham started things off with aninfield single. But moments later,Tilson, from behind the plate, madeperhaps the game’s biggest defensiveplay when she threw out Burnhamattempting to steal second. It was thesecond time during the game Tilsonhad nailed a runner trying to steal.
“She did a great job of reading therunner and knowing she was takingoff,” said Campbell.
The seventh inning throw-out playby Tilson took pressure off of Grilliotand theMarshall de-f e n s e .Grilliot re-tired thenext twobatters, in-cluding astrikeout toend thegame.
G r i l l i o t ,who had al-lowed justfive hitswhile strik-ing outt h r e e ,pitched agem.
“ S h e ’ sbeen throw-ing well allyear,” saidCampbe l l .“To holddown a team like this says a lot be-cause Westfield is a powerhouse.”
Grilliot was moving the ball aroundthe plate well, making it difficult forthe Bulldogs to zero in on her pitches.
“I felt confident and I was beingcareful to hit my spots because they’rea good hitting team,” said Grilliot.
Marshall had five hits in the game.The safeties came from leadoff hitterElizabeth Stonehill (single, runscored); No. 2 hitter Olivia Ellis(single, walk); Grilliot (homer,double); and Lauren Sanata (single).
Winning the game to advance to theregion’s final eight teams was a thrillfor the Statesmen.
“It’s awesome, nobody expected usto get this far,” said Tilson. “Everyyear, we’re knocked out in the firstround of districts.”
Grilliot thought Marshall had thepotential to make postseason wavesthis season, first at districts and thenat regionals.
“I had confidence in our team,” shesaid. “Our defense has really gottenstrong. It’s exciting to do something[in the postseason]. That’s so new forus.”

The re-escalating price of gasoline is start-ing — or rather accelerating — its impact onmy digestive system; that is to say, it’s givingme more than indigestion. It’s beginning toeat away at the layers of tolerance that I’vebuilt up over the years, and is likewise effect-ing, adversely I may add, my sunny disposi-tion. In spite of the many suggestions onehears about driving to maximize one’s use ofgasoline as efficiently as possible (properlyinflated tires; clean air filters; slowing down,generally, smoother accelerations and moregradual decelerations, etc.) the fact of thematter is, I wonder how much any of it reallymatters — in the big picture. Picture this,with less mattering, to me, I’m getting mad-der at more people for indiscretions, over-sights, forgetfulness and so forth that I mightotherwise have ignored when the price at thepump — and some of the related productand service increases — were not returningto previously painful highs.
Now I haven’t quite gone public yet, withany of my observations and suggestions asthe actual circumstances have presentedthemselves. But if anybody was telepathic orcould read lips — or understood muttering— I’d have already gotten into a number offistfights; well, verbal confrontations, at least.And it’s not like I wrote the book on socialdiscourse or proper behavior when pushcomes to shove (figuratively speaking, ofcourse; I don’t condone violence). But, theredoes seem to be a dollars and sense correla-tion. If I were to guess, and make a casual,non-scientific, not-supported-by-any-empirical-evidence observation — as theprice of a gallon of gasoline goes up, people’sbehavior has an inverse reaction to it: it goesdown, as in it gets worse. As the dollarsneeded to fill the tank become almost inde-cent (again), so too does the correspondingbehavior of the person filling that tank.
I don’t know if it’s simply that we feelhelpless against the forces combining (I didn’tsay conspiring, many others did, though; oth-ers with a great deal more knowledge andinsight than I will ever have.) to prime thepump, but the loss of any control over a por-tion of the family, business and/or govern-ment budget allocated for such expenses,creates a stress unhealthy for mere mortalmen. Moreover, the victimization and exploi-tation us mere mortal men feel as the Oil andGas companies quarterly profits areannounced simultaneously it seems, to thestill-increasing unemployment rate and bank-ruptcy protections being granted to some ofAmerica’s oldest and most familiar compa-nies, gives one pause to reflect: Has Americapassed itself by? Is what opportunity andquality of life, which many of us have experi-enced — and some even taken for granted— indeed been compromised by circum-stances many in a position of responsibilitysay is mostly beyond our country’s control?And if so, does that mean that our future isnot nearly as bright as we thought it was?And if the future is likely to be more difficultthan the past, then my attempts at humorconcerning the minutiae of everyday lifeseem rather unimportant.
But I can’t solve any of these problems; Ican only write about them — and complain(a little ignorance goes a long way). I have totell you, though, from where I sit — andwrite, it’s getting ugly. People (myselfincluded) are getting irritated, and unlesssomething changes soon, the American con-sumer will be an endangered species.
