May 23, 1861, Vienna. Despite pleasfrom Virginians pledging loyalty totheir southern brothers, voters in theVienna precinct overwhelmingly
voted against secession from the United States. Voteson the referendum, announced by election commis-sioner Peter Hendrick, were 78 against the ordinanceof secession, 44 for it. Polling took place at LydeckerStore on May 23.
Election commissioner Peter Hendrick, a NewYorker like many others who settled in Vienna, de-scribed his support for the Union. “Free and willinglabor, where both parties benefit, favor the North,”said Hendrick.
Hendrick cast his vote against the ordinance ofsecession on the referendum.
Some, like United States federal sailor NathanielBosworth, a second-generation Virginian, said that
while his allegiance was with Virginia, should theCommonwealth secede, it will be a battleground. “Ibelieve the South will lose the war,” he said, to jeersfrom the Southern loyalists. “I vote to reject the or-dinance,” said Bosworth.
ERNEST BIRDSONG, the first to cast his vote,summed up the South’s claim. The South wanted tobe left alone, without interference from a presidentfrom Illinois, pushing the agenda of the United Stateson sovereign Southern states. The president of theUnited States had sent 75,000 troops to South Caro-lina.
“We are now a separate nation,” Birdsong said. “Myvote, sir, is for secession from the Union.”
Ted Ballard, born and raised in the northern partof Virginia, railed against kneeling at the feet of theabolitionists of the North. “I’d rather have war cometo Virginia than to have it despoiled by Yankees,” hesaid.
“I’d be proud to die on Virginia soil, defending itfrom invaders,” Ballard said.
“This land will be devastated,” said Eric Owens,countering Ballard. “You say you want to grow crops.How will you do that?”
Charles Adams, a young man loyal to Virginia andtaking swigs of Tennesse whiskey, said, “I vote mostaffirmatively for secession.” He referred to thoseafraid to take up arms in defense of the South as“yellow-bellied.” He probably would have spokenmore bluntly but there were ladies present and hecalled himself a Southern gentleman.

Opinion
On Memorial Day, we rememberall of those who have died inmilitary service, more than400,000 in World War II, more
than 30,000 in Korea, more than 50,000 inVietnam.
Earlier this month, the number of U.S. mili-tary deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan since Sept.11, 2001, exceeded 6,000. Nearly 50,000 U.S.military service members have been wounded.
Memorial Day is also a time to reinvigorateefforts to provide the best services and oppor-tunities to our veterans. The Post-9/11GI Bill dramatically increases the edu-cational benefits extended to membersof the military who have served at leastthree months of active duty since Sept. 11,2001. Steps to provide better, faster and moreresponsive health care to veterans, includingmental health care are underway, but have along way to go. We must commit the resourcesto do better.
More than 175 U.S. military service person-nel from Virginia have been killed in Iraq andAfghanistan, including several in the last year.
Here are the names of some of the local menand women who have died in Iraq and Afghani-stan since 9/11.

An outsider, clothed in foreigngarb and calling himself ChapPetersen, appealed to voters withallusions to the Commonwealth’scloseness with its brothers in theNorth. He believes the Common-wealth is positioned to mediatebetween the United States gov-ernment and the Confederacy, tofind a solution without going towar. It was noted that Mr.Petersen referred to Richmondseveral times in his remarks. An-other oddly-dressed fellow, byname of Mark Keam, stood nearMr. Petersen. He, too, com-mented on doing things in Rich-mond.
As men debated, rather loudlyat times, the issues confronting theCommonwealth’s position, womenfrom the area interrupted withdemands for the right to vote.Voters made light of the women’sdemands.
“The last thing we want to do isthrow this country away by givingwomen the right to vote,” said one
of the men inciting the crowd onthe steps of Lydecker Store.
LADIES OF THE DIXIE ROSERelief Society stood under a tentpromoting their cause, sendingmedical supplies to troops inSouthern states. The table thatMrs. Abigail Stackhouse attendedto held bandages and medicalherbs. She expressed concernthat, perhaps, the supply of qui-nine, used to treat malaria, wouldrun out during hostilities shouldwar break out. Her nephew, shesaid proudly, had already joinedthe South Carolina infantry.
Mrs. Stackhouse’s husband,John Stackhouse, was on his wayto Fairfax to vote for secession.
Sandi Stadelman, one of the la-dies demanding the right to vote,explained her journey to Virginiafrom New York. “Virginia has won-derful weather for growing crops,”Mrs. Stadelman said. “We cameto show the farmers here how tomake their crops more productive.
“They spend all their time grow-ing that horrible crop tobacco.”

Tunes cartoons you oncewatched while now youseek nearby family enter-tainment that you can en-joy with your children.Bringing these two inter-ests together, 1st Stagetakes a step forward forprofessional theater in thearea. Working in partner-ship with First Draft, anArlington-based companythat develops new workswith local audiences, thefairy tale “Jack and theBean-Stalk” is coming tothe stage in a theater ad-aptation set to live music.
“Expanding our pro-gramming to include the-ater that’s fun for thewhole family has been part ofour vision since we opened 1stStage,” said Artistic DirectorMark Krikstan. “We are de-lighted to bring this new play”to our stage.
“Jack and the Bean-Stalk” isthe fairy tale of the boy whosells the family cow for a fewbeans, much to his widowedmother’s displeasure. Thebeans really were magical andcombined with Jack’s curiosity,he finds an astonishing magi-cal world. Taking that outline,local playwright MarioBaldessari said he developedthe new play by using “WarnerBrothers’ cartoon flair” as thecharacters and actions are thor-oughly rubbery.
Baldessari developed thequirky nature of his play “witha wink to the old fairy tale withlots of laughter and no onedies.” Each of the characters ismeant to entertain, not scare,even the youngest child. Accord-ing to Baldesarri, “the Giant isnon-threatening; really not verygood at his job as a frighteningfigure. He even carries a carrotrather than a club.”
Leslie A. Kobylinski, FirstDraft Artistic Director, said “thecomic production is aimed atyounger audiences, but with lotsof laughs built in for adults. It’s

The production is the firstpartnership between 1st Stageand First Draft.

While Jammin’ Java,the local musicclub and cafe, washosting its crowd
of music lovers with one of theirregulars playing ear splitting mu-sic, three high school studentswere distributing surveys and col-lecting them back, planning tocome again the next day.
Kimberly Gollogly, JocelynGolden, and Maggie MacDonnellof Marshall High School won thirdplace in Sports and EntertainmentResearch at the recently held In-ternational Distributive EducationClubs of America (DECA) careerdevelopment conference held inOrlando, Fla.
The purpose of their researchwas to find out the average demo-graphic that attends Jammin’ Javaand what methods of communica-
tion they mostly use. Through thisdata they planned to increase theaverage target market of the club,by planning different events andusing the social media sites to pub-licize them and gain an audience.
One of the main things theirproject stressed was the deviationfrom the popular social network-
ing sites like Twitter and Facebook.So they used other sites, one be-ing GetGlue, which is “a new andupcoming social website,” andtumblr, according to Gollogly.
“We used sites like Tumblr andsuggested new features like videoblogging,” to really be able to con-nect people with their favorite
musicians and bands, Golloglyadded.
Using paper and online surveysthey researched to find out theaverage demographic that at-tended Jammin’ Java to write a 30page manual to be presented inthe International DECA confer-ence.
THROUGH THEIR RESEARCHthey wanted to not just increasethe attendance of Jammin’ Javathrough technology, but also showthat the club is aware of the com-munity and what the public wants.
The surveys usually includedquestions relating to the concert-goers lifestyle, hobbies andethnicity.
The project proved be an eyeopener for the participants as they“learned a lot about promotingbusinesses and I also learnedabout some new websites that areup and coming,” Golden said.
They also learned the differenttechniques to popularize busi-nesses.
“I found it was interesting howimportant social media is to com-panies,” MacDonnell said. “Com-panies can easily and effectively

In addition to the 30-pagemanual, they also made a presen-tation board with their data andgave a 15 minute presentationwhich described their research andthe data they collected to thejudges at the conference.
One of the most difficult partsof their research was the venueselection. Since Jammin’ Java of-fers such a variety of concerts, italso attracts a lot of different agedpeople.
“It was really hard to find themedian,” Gollogly said.
In addition, the length of themanual posed a challenge becauseno matter how many times it wasrevised, it never reached the levelof quality they wanted.
MOST OF THE COMMENTSthey received from the judges fo-cused on their research methodsand they seemed “very impressedwith our idea,” MacDonnell said.
“Sometimes it got hard to ex-plain what GetGlue was and whatit does,” Gollogly added. “Espe-cially to people who weren’t verytechnology savvy.”

Madison leadoff batter Alex Tyroler connected on an RBI double inMadison’s three-run fifth inning.
By Rich Sanders
The Connection
A late innings rally by the LangleySaxons fell just short as MadisonHigh, behind the springboard ofa big first inning, won Monday
night’s Liberty District tournament baseballgame finals, 8-7.
Madison (16-5), the tournament’s No. 3-seed playing in front of a large, partisanhome crowd on its school campus in Vienna,held off a determined, No. 5-seed Langleyteam that never stopped believing or play-ing hard even after it fell behind 8-2 afterfive innings.
The Saxons broke through for five runsin the top of the sixth inning to get within8-7. Then, in their final at-bats in the sev-enth, they put their leadoff hitter on base— an infield single by No. 3 batter MattMoser - and looked poised for final inningdramatics.
The next Langley batter, clean-up hitterMichael Byrne, rifled a hard line drive thatinitially looked as if it might get throughfor a base hit. But Madison second basemanTim Davis, a junior who was not in the start-ing line-up, caught the hard hit ball beforethrowing to first baseman Johnny Grahamto double up the runner for the huge doubleplay.
Madison right-handed pitcher NateFavero, a junior second baseman who hadbeen called on in relief during the previousfive-run Langley sixth inning, induced thenext Langley hitter to ground the ball toDavis, who picked it up and threw to Gra-ham for the game’s final out, clinching thedistrict title for the Warhawks and settingoff a spontaneous, on-field Madison celebra-tion.
“I’m not going to lie to you, it was prettyintense,” said Favero, of the pressure he felton the mound during his 1-2/3 innings ofwork. “That was the toughest situation I’veever been in during my baseball career.”
Favero, who bats left-handed, hadhomered for Madison way back in the firstinning as the Warhawks built an early 4-1lead. On the mound in the seventh inning,he was as happy as anyone when his de-fense got the key double play off of Byrne’swell hit ball, pretty much killing the Sax-ons’ final inning momentum.
“I wasn’t trying to strike [Byrne] out oranything, but wanted to rely on my team-mates,” said Favero. “I really trust them.”
One batter later, after he had forced agrounder for the game’s final out, it wasbedlam for the thrilled Warhawks who piledupon one another in celebratory fashion on
inning, resulted in a line drive double pulleddown the left field line. Later that inning,Hood scored on an RBI ground out byByrne, and Powers and the Warhawks werein a quick 1-0 hole.
But Powers benefitted greatly from aMadison offense which, in the bottom ofthe first, stormed back with four runs, theresult of a pair of two-run homers. With oneon and one out, Favero, Madison’s No. 3hitter in the line-up, pulled a high fly balldown the right field line which left the parkfor a two-run homer to give the Warhawksa 2-1 lead. Two batters later, after catcherJay Kenyon grounded a single into left field,sophomore shortstop Andy McGuire sent atowering fly ball over the center field fence,a few feet left of the flag pole, and Madisonwas up 4-1.
Madison scratched out a run in the sec-ond on a bases-loaded walk to McGuiremaking it 5-1. There was no more scoringuntil the top of the fifth when Langley, withone out, got a single from Jeff Solomon fol-lowed by a ground-rule double into left fieldby pinch-hitter Colin Cantwell to put Saxonrunners on second and third. That broughtup Hood, whose sacrifice fly into right cen-ter field scored Solomon to get Langleywithin 5-2.
Madison, in its half of the fifth, appearedto put the game away with three runs. TheWarhawks got three doubles in the inning,the two-baggers coming from McGuire, JoeCorrigan (RBI), and senior Alex Tyroler(RBI), Madison’s leadoff hitter. Another bighit that inning came on a run-scoring singleinto left field by pinch-hitter MattLivingston.
Ahead 8-2, Madison looked to be on itsway to an easy win. But Langley broke outfor five runs in the sixth. Big hits came fromcatcher Nick Amano-Dolan, who groundedan RBI single into right field; and Hood,who’s RBI double plated a run. Max Mrazhit a sacrifice fly and Brandon Bast had an
the infield.“It’s unbelievable,” said Favero, of the
feeling of winning the title. “There’s noth-ing like it. This is what we worked for allyear.”
LANGLEY HEAD COACH Kevin Healy,who saw his Saxons (12-12) reach the dis-trict finals with wins over No. 8 Jefferson,No. 4 Fairfax, and top-seeded Stone Bridge,was proud of his team’s marvelous run tothe district finals where the Saxons wereon the brink of an improbable title.
“These kids have battled their hearts outall year,” said Healy, whose team was just6-8 in district games during the regular sea-son before reeling off three straight victo-ries at the district tournament. “They con-tinue to do that.”
The coach said left-handed hitting Byrne’sseventh inning line drive that was caughtcould have been an extra base hit if it hadbeen a few feet to either side of secondbaseman Davis.
“Three feet one way or another, that ball’sin the gap and we tie the game,” he said.
Healy said his team stayed alert and con-fident even after falling behind Madison byscores of 4-1 and 8-2. The Saxons displayedtheir fortitude with their big five-run sixthinning in which the team batted around theorder.
“It’s very easy to go in the tank [whenyou’re losing],” said Healy. “[In the sixth]we had great at-bats by kids lower down inthe order. We were drilling the ball into thegap.”
MADISON STARTING PITCHER DanPowers, a sophomore right-hander whoearned the win, gave his team a champion-ship caliber outing, working five strong in-nings in which he allowed two runs, struckout five, walked none and hit one batter.His first pitch of the game, to Langley lead-off batter Robert Hood in the top of the first
RBI grounder.Langley’s five-run sixth got the Saxons
within 8-7 and that was the score headinginto the seventh where Favero, the Madi-son reliever, got the final three outs as theWarhawks won the hard-fought game.
“It just didn’t turn out in the end,” said adisappointed Matt Moser, Langley’s juniorthird baseman who had three base hits inthe game. “We’ve been through it all thisseason. When we’re down we know we cancome back.”
Powers was the winning pitcher for Madi-son with his five strong innings of work.
“He pitched a really good game,” saidMoser. “He kept his fastball on the outside.”
Favero, who earned the save, said he andhis teammates never let down even whenthe Warhawks built their six-run lead.
“We knew it wasn’t going to be easy,” saidFavero, of beating a talented Langley team.“We’ve had tough games this year. We werelucky to pull this out.”
Healy, the Langley coach, said his teamthoroughly enjoyed the experience of play-ing in such a big game.
“They like the fact that people don’t ex-pect us to win,” he said. “In the Fairfax andStone Bridge games, people didn’t thinkwe’d win. Hopefully we can continue [ourgood play] at regionals.”
Madison, which has won its share of dis-trict crowns over the years under coachMark Gjormand, now has another bannerfor its gymnasium walls.
“It’s tradition here,” said Favero, ofMadison’s winning program. “We’re tryingto follow it up. We’re wearing targets onour shirts because we’re Madison, so wehave to bring it every day.”
Langley, Madison Baseball Take Finals Act to the WireSaxons rally late inLiberty title game, butpitcher Favero andWarhawk teammateshold on.
Madison starting pitcher DanPowers pitched five effective in-nings to earn the win in theWarhawks’ title game victory overLangley on Monday night.

The Connection
The opening minutes of Madison’ssecond round Northern Regiongirls’ lacrosse playoff gameagainst Westfield last Thursday,
May 19, put Warhawk fans on edge.The undefeated Warhawks looked un-
characteristically out-of-sorts. But the girlspulled it together before the end of the firsthalf, and decisively triumphed over theBulldogs by a score of 19-6. Madison, withthe win, advanced to the semifinals wherethey were scheduled to play Chantilly ear-lier this week on Tuesday, May 24.
Westfield played competitively for muchof the first half. The Bulldogs stepped uptheir game and took advantage of Madisonturnovers. Madison’s Melissa Kellan wasthe first to score, hitting two goals for theWarhawks to keep an even game withWestfield. At one point Westfield led 5-3,but an interception and series of goals byKatie Kerrigan shifted momentum thatstayed with the Warhawks for the remain-der of the game. Madison went into the halfwith a 9-6 lead.
In second half action, Madison completelyshut down the Bulldogs’ offense. GoalieTaylor River-Silva enjoyed another stellargame with 13 saves. The Warhawks domi-nated draw controls. In addition to her threegoals, Megan Bisson’s prowess on the fieldwas key to Madison’s win as she securedthree draw controls, three ground balls andhad one takeaway.
Kellan and senior co-captain Allison Hahnled on offense with five goals and one as-sist, and three goals and five assists, respec-tively. Kerrigan scored four goals, andBisson had three. Alex Condon had one goaland two assists, while Brie Hayden had agoal and one assist. Sam Babbitt and JuliaKehoe also contributed one goal apiece.
Prior to the win over Westfield, Madisonhad opened the region playoffs with animpressive 19-7 home win over LakeBraddock last Tuesday, May 17.
Madison, the unbeaten Liberty Districtchampions, quickly racked up six goals inthe early minutes of play before the Bruinsfinally scored. Madison won the vast ma-jority of draws during the first half, provid-ing them with ample scoring opportunitiesand a comfortable 12-4 lead going into thesecond half. While the game was a lopsidedwin for the Warhawks, they battled a toughLake Braddock goalie who had 15 saves.Still, her valiant efforts were not enough tostop the Warhawk’s relentless offense.
Julie Kehoe led the Warhawks with fourgoals and two assists. Also contributing onoffense were Sam Babbitt (1 goal, 4 assists);Alex Condon (4 goals); Allison Hahn (3goals, 1 assist); and Megan Bisson and KatieKerrigan (2 goals, 2 assists each). CarlyFrederick had two goals and one assist,Melissa Kellan contributed two assists, andMadison Renshaw and Dana Beden bothhad one goal and one assist. Madison goalieTaylor Rivera-Silva had eight saves.
Madison High sophomore shortstop/pitcher Andy McGuire has committed toplay baseball at the University of Texas,Warhawks head coach Mark Gjormand hasannounced. McGuire is a two-yearletterman and starter for the Warhawks,who completed their regular season with a14-5 overall record and a 10-4 mark in theLiberty District. He was named First-TeamAll-District after hitting .340 with 12 runsbatted in, 14 runs scored and 10 stolenbases during the regular season. On themound, he compiled a 3-1 record with foursaves, 30 strikeouts and a 1.03 earned runaverage in 23 1/3 innings of work.
McGuire becomes the latest Warhawkplayer to commit to play at the college levelunder Gjormand, and will become the firstto do so at the Big 12 Conference school.The Texas Longhorns are currently 38-12under longtime head coach Augie Garrido.
Prior to his commitment to Texas,McGuire had also considered the Univer-sity of Virginia, the University of SouthCarolina and the University of Florida,among others.
Madison Girls’ LaxReaches Semifinals
Herndon’s bid for its first Concorde Dis-trict boys’ soccer title since 2008 fell shortlast Friday evening, May 20 when theHornets lost to a red hot Oakton Highsquad, 3-0, in the district tournamenttitle game played at Westfield HighSchool.
The loss was the first of the season fortop-seeded Herndon (13-1-1), which just10 days earlier had beaten Oakton, 2-1,in a late regular season district roadgame. The Cougars, who have enjoyedtheir first winning season in at least fiveyears, improved their record to 10-3-1
overall and captured their first districttournament crown since 2001. Oaktonis coached by Todd Spitalny.
Both teams are competing at thisweek’s 16-team Northern Region tourna-ment.
Oakton, which a year ago went 6-8-1and lost to Lake Braddock in a first roundregion playoff game, scored all three ofits goals within a 17 minute period ofplay in the first half to take total com-mand of the game by halftime.
