Despite a high median income and low unemployment rate,many individuals and familieshere don’t earn enough to meetbasic monthly expenses such asfood, housing and transportation.That’s why this comingweekend’s food drive to restockWestern Fairfax Christian Ministries’ (WFCM) food pantry is soimportant. It’s also why it’s critical that local residents fill withfood the bags Boy Scouts left attheir doors last weekend and putthem outside this Saturday, Nov.12, by 9 a.m., for pickup.“Over 76,000 county residentsare at risk of experiencing hunger,”said Jennie Bush, WFCM’s community outreach manager. “They arefood-insecure — which meansthey don’t always know wheretheir next meal is coming from.”Some 64,851 (1 in 17) peoplePhotos by Bonnie Hobbs/Centere ViewMRepresenting Girl Scout Troop 3327 of Chantilly, lastyear, are (from left) Ruth Moran, 9; Riley Weaver, 9;her brother Ryan, 7, and mom Cathy Weaver.live in poverty here — defined asan annual income of 23,850 fora family of four.

NewsFairies, Magical Spells and Swamp MonstersWestfield presents“The Tempest.”By Bonnie HobbsCentre Viewilled with fantasy, romance and adventure, “The Tempest” isWestfield High’s upcoming play.With a cast and crew of nearly 40,this Shakespeare comedy takes the stageNov. 18-20.Set on a desert island, the story followsProspero, the former Duke of Milan, as hetries to reclaim his crown from his brother,Antonio. He summons a dangerous stormto attract Antonio and his accomplice, KingAlonso, to the island. But things get trickywhen Prospero discovers his daughterMiranda plans to marry Alonso’s son,Ferdinand.“We have a lot of talented students fromall grades and levels of experience,” saidDirector Rachel Harrington. “And they bringa new twist and energy to Shakespeare andreally make this show appealing to all ages.”The scenes take place on the island, on aship, in a villain’s hideout and at Prospero’scastle on the island. “We spent 20 hours justbuilding the ship,” said Harrington. “Parents and students worked many weekendsto make it come together.”The costumes are loosely based on the1600s; so, for example, there’ll be fairies incolorful, avant garde, sparkly outfits representing the elements. Through their costumes, everyone in the show will illustrateon element (earth, air, water, fire) of theisland.“The audience will enjoy the show’s magicand seeing new creatures that the islandholds, plus the relationship between families, lovers and friends,” said Harrington.“And the play’s technical aesthetics are eyecatching and intricate and sure to attractand hold people’s attention, as will thestory.”Senior Aubrey Cervarich portrays youngFSome of thecast membersof “The Tempest” in theirstill-underconstruction,shipwreckedboat.Photo byBonnie HobbsCentre ViewTo GoShow times are Friday-Saturday, Nov. 18-19, at7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Nov. 20, at 2 p.m. in theschool theater.

So when he creates a stormand shipwrecks a ship full of nobles on theisland, including Ferdinand, it’s amazing toher.“Seeing Ferdinand, she instantly falls inlove with him,” said Cervarich. “She’s alsoawestruck at finding love. Everything’s newto her; it’s a wonderful experience and shewants it all. I’ve never done Shakespearebefore, so it’s cool to branch off into something I’m not used to. And it’s the first timeI’ve played a young, naïve character.”Cervarich said the audience will like theparallels between “The Tempest” andDisney’s “The Little Mermaid.” And, shesaid, “This show is extremely funny, withslapstick, physical humor. And everyonelikes to see a story about young love.”Playing Prospero is senior John Coughlin.“He’s a very old, wise wizard who rules theisland,” said Coughlin. “He’s compassionate toward his daughter, but mean and angry when he needs to be toward his slavesand helpers. He forgets how to be a personand thinks everyone else is lower than himand not human. He’s been on the island 12years and is used to dealing with spirits andbeasts.”It’s a fun role to play, said Coughlin, because “I get to tap into different emotionsfrom kindness to hatred. And I get to speakin Old English and figure out my character’smotivations and the meaning behind hiswords.”As for the show, he said, “The acting’swell-done and the audience will feel likethey’re on the island and will really feel forthe characters and what they’ve beenthrough. It’s a different kind of theater experience because it brings out emotions inthe actors that even we didn’t know werethere.”Freshman John Henry Stamper portraysFerdinand. “He’s a little naïve and falls inlove with Miranda,” said Stamper. “He’swilling to stand up for himself againstProspero and for the people that he likes.See Westfield Presents, Page 5Grocery Gift Cards, Sponsors SoughtWFCM to provide holiday food for families in need.By Bonnie HobbsCentre Viewt’ll soon be time for the holidays, andmany local families in need will receive Thanksgiving or Christmasfood as recipients of Western FairfaxChristian Ministries’ (WFCM) HolidayFood Program.

NewsVoters Make Their Wishes KnownLocal turnout issteady, heavy.By Bonnie HobbsCentre Viewt Greenbriar East Elementary, asat many polling places throughout the country, voters flocked tothe polls in droves Tuesday tovote on national, state and local issues. Theycast their votes for President of the UnitedStates and, in Fairfax County, the controversial meals-tax proposal.Pam Gannon, passing out sample Democratic Party ballots to people outside theschool, said that by 10 a.m., some 929people had already voted there. “I think it’sa higher turnout than usual,” she said. “Andfrom what we’ve heard from around thedifferent polling places, it’s been a big turnout everywhere.”Mary Ann Welton, chief elections officerfor the Greenbriar East Precinct, concurred.“All day long, there’s been a steady streamof voters — not sporadic, like in a primary,”she said. At almost 11 a.m., she said, 1,143people had voted there — and that numberdidn’t include the absentee votes cast earlier.Voters there filled out paper ballots thatwere then placed into scanners for doubletracking. Mainly, said Welton, “I’ve explained to people to fill in the entire circleand not just make check marks.”Greenbriar resident Eric Hanson said henever misses an opportunity to vote. ForPresident, he said, “I hope the heck we getthe right person in there — Trump. He’s aman that’s not going to make this countrybend to the wishes of foreign countries.”Hanson also voted “no” on the meals tax.“I don’t want to pay 4-percent more on agood meal,” he said. “That would make metip the server less, or I wouldn’t go out.We’ve got to stop taxing, or we’re going todrive people out of this country.”Greenbriar’s Shashi Sahgal isn’t affiliatedwith any political party so, she said, shevoted for the presidential candidate shebelieves has better attributes and would dothe best job. “So I voted for Hillary,” sheAPhotos by Bonnie Hobbs/Centre ViewElections officers Robert Sherretta and Rebecca Gotwalt check in votersat the Greenbriar East precinct.Elections officer Susan Wrotonstands beneath a sign tellingpeople where to vote.From left are Trump supportersEric Hanson and Mike Brensy.Shashi Sahgal voted for HillaryClinton for president.said. “I just felt that, for such a high post,to have a person with such a bad mouthand foul thinking and who’s divisive andclosed-minded — all negative — would bewrong.”First of all, she continued — explainingwhat she’d like to say to Trump — “Showyour taxes. And what happened to yourconscience when you and your daughterwere buying stuff for your factories fromChina? What happened to your moral values? We are paying for you to live inAmerica, if you don’t pay taxes. So how canyou say you’re going to stand up for anyone else?”Sahgal said both presidential candidateshave vices, but “Trump’s is moral andHillary’s is judgmental — which can be corrected. A 70-year-old man isn’t going tochange his morals.”Regarding the meals tax, she, too, voted“no” because “a lot of senior people dependon ready-cooked meals from the outside —pizzas or carry out — and their fixed incomes don’t go up. Why impose this onthem?”Mike Brensy agreed with her on the mealstax, voting “no” because, he said, “Mealsout are expensive enough.

And I believe he’ll take advice frommilitary leaders and others.”As for the county’s proposed tax break forsurvivors of fallen officers, he voted “yes,”saying such spouses “shouldn’t be taxed;that’s ridiculous.”Jessica Mason, though, was for HillaryClinton, all the way. “I like her stands onthe issues, especially on immigration policies and women’s rights,” she said. “I thinkshe’s got a lot of experience and he’s a loosecannon. And I want her to approve the Supreme Court justices, including MerrickGarland.”Mason also voted “yes” on the meals tax.“Going out is a luxury, so I don’t mind themasking for a little bit more for the schoolsand to improve the area,” she said. “And Ivoted for the surviving-spouse tax break —that’s the least we can do.”Former Denver police officer, DEA agent, Ad HocPolice Commission contributor and long-time countyresident receives Environmental Excellence Award.Randy Sayles of Oak Hill, now 68, grewup in predominantly white Denver, Colo. Hewas the only child of single mother DeloresSayles. She was a domestic worker whodidn’t have a lot of education, he said.To protect her son from drugs and lawlessness, Sayles’ mother wouldn’t allow himoutside much, where he could play withother children.He also remembers from an early age sheinstilled in him that having a “moral respectfor other people is the most important thingyou can contribute to society.”THOSE WORDS would guide Sayles’ personal and professional actions for decadesto come. Sayles retired in 2003 after morethan 35 years in law enforcement. But he’scontinued following what he believes is hiscivic duty to get involved when he sees aninjustice.Since 2002, Sayles has been collectingtrash along a stretch of Centreville Road,documenting everything as he goes. In2013, he signed on to do the work officiallyas part of the county’s Clean Streets program. At one time he went six nights a week.Now he’s out three nights a week.The non-profit Clean Fairfax estimatedlast year alone Sayles picked up more than800 bags of trash and 1,200 illegally placedsigns.Sayles was honored for his efforts at theOct. 18 Fairfax County Board of Supervisors meeting as one of two individuals towin an Environmental Excellence Award.Sayles’ nomination for the award read:“There are many residents of Fairfax Countywho are passionate about keeping thecounty clean, green and sustainable, but fewfollow through with Herculean efforts likeMr. Sayles.”It took as much effort if not more forSayles to overcome what he said was a pattern of harassment from some FairfaxCounty police officers while volunteering.His objection to being treated disrespectfully by some officers as he cleaned up thetrash along the roads in Chantilly also ledhim lend the benefit of his years of experience in law enforcement to another area ofservice to Fairfax County.

And I can relate tohim as an easygoing, young guy. I’m thankful to be cast in this show as a freshman, letalone in a lead role.”He said the audience will find many reasons to like this play. “The set is absolutelyamazing, and people will like the physicality of the characters,” said Stamper. “Wereally get into these roles; and since we’reall friends, there’s no awkwardness betweenAubrey and me, so our relationship is morebelievable to the audience.”Playing King Alonso of Naples is seniorMaya Hossain. “He’s gotten shipwreckedwith his crew,” she said. “He was originallya little devious, but the whole show is a journey of his repentance. So although it’s acomedy, every line he says is tragic, to adegree. He’s trying to lead his men to safety,while looking for his son, Ferdinand.”She said it’s challenging playing a malecharacter because “I have to take on a manlygait and make more stiff and rigid gesturesthan females do. Three girls are playingmen, and we spent a whole day just on ourwalks. I also have to take the lightness outof my voice and speak in a heavier tone.But it’s fun playing a guy and a leader andinterpreting Shakespeare however I want.I also convey my character’s descent intomadness, and it’s so much fun doing thingsyou don’t get to do in real life.”Overall, said Hossain, “The audience willlove the mystical, dreamlike quality of thisshow. It’s a fantasy that’ll take them out oftheir everyday world — there are fairies,swamp monsters and magical spells — andthey’ll really get caught up in all of it.”School NotesEmail announcements to chantilly@connectionnewspapers.com.
