The Connection

Catherine Christy, a HerndonHigh School junior, is theyoungest of six children in her

family. When she was 7 years old, Christy,now 16, helped her sister, Elizabeth, thenin eighth grade, start a project that shenow directs.

“We saw the need and we wanted tohelp the needy children for the holidays,”Christy said. The Used Toy Project is acollection of used toys from friends,neighbors and anyone who wishes todonate their used toys to the Christys.The toys are then sold at a garage saleand the money is used to buy new toysfor the children in families that cannotafford them.

Last year, in her first year as the direc-tor for the project which she took overfrom brother John, who took over fromElizabeth, Christy raised $150. Althoughthe other siblings are not around to help,Christy is not alone in continuing thefamily tradition. “A lot of people like tohelp,” she said. Christy has friends whohelp her collect the toys, price them forthe garage sale and then help her duringthe sale.

Katherine Gallagher, Christy’s friendand fellow Herndon High School junior,said she started helping with the projectthis year. “Catherine said she neededsome help so I am asking people in ourneighborhood for donations,” Gallaghersaid.

THE USED TOY PROJECT takesplace during the holiday season to bringcheer to the homes of families who can-

not afford to place many toys under theirChristmas trees. Christy said she wishesthe people cleaning out their homesaround the holidays think of her projectif they find used toys that do not servetheir family members any longer. “Theydon’t have to do a lot,” she said. “Theyare just cleaning out their houses andgiving what they don’t need.”

“During the holidays, especially, it isimportant to give back. I have fouryounger sisters and they play with theirtoys all the time and they mean a lot tothem,” she said, adding that watchingher sisters play with their toys triggersher to think of the less fortunate fami-lies who cannot afford their own toys.

Grace Christy, Catherine’s mother, saidshe is very pleased with the efforts herdaughters and son have put into theUsed Toy Project over the past 10 years.She said a lot goes into organizing thegarage sale and collecting the items forit, including door-to-door requests fordonations and ads on Craig’s List for thesale. There is also the collection and sort-ing through the toys to determine, whichare suitable for resale. Grace Christy saidher son, John, while directing theproject, used to send a money order toToys for Tots after the sale, while thegirls, Elizabeth and Catherine, like to goto the toy store to shop for the new toys.

“It’s been a nice tradition,” said GraceChristy of her children’s involvement.“It’s helped them understand about giv-ing back and supporting the community.”

Catherine Christy has already decidedshe would direct next year’s garage sale.However, the following year she will bein college and not able to coordinate alocal effort. She said her sister startedthe project as a Girl Scout and that shehas neighbors who belong to a Girl Scoutorganization. “I’m hoping I’ll be able topass it on to someone in their service,”Catherine Christy said.

This year’s garage sale will take placeSaturday, Dec. 13, from 8 a.m.-1 p.m.,at the Christy house in Reston at 1305Stamford Way. Toy donations can bedropped off at the house or the donorcan call 703-927-7013 for pick up.

CHILDREN’S(& TEENS’)CONNECTION


Opinion

Under one proposal, one new elementary school in Fairfax County,Coppermine in Herndon, wouldopen next fall with almost 60 per-

cent of its students poor enough to qualify sub-sidized meals.

Meanwhile at Oak Hill, the most af-fluent of the six elementary schools inthis boundary change decision, the per-centage of poor students would dropfrom 4.4 to 3.4 percent.

At the other end of the county, the openingof another new school, Laurel Hill, will bringa boundary change there as well. In one pro-posal, Lorton Station would see its percentageof poor students increase to 41 percent, upfrom 35, while another school in that bound-ary study, Silverbrook, would see its percent-age of poor students drop to 3 percent from11 percent.

Students achieve more in schools that do nothave high concentrations of poor students, andthe county should use boundary change op-portunities to improve these ratios.

There is no easy way to change school bound-aries, as members of the Fairfax school boardcan no doubt attest. They are in the midst ofanother round of redrawing school boundaries,this time because of the imminent opening oftwo new elementary schools.

Some of these families have been throughmultiple boundary studies and changes. In thelast decade, homes in the northeastern Floris

district have undergone six major schoolboundary changes.

But some of the proposals on the table bothin the north and south part of the countyshould never have made it to the drawingboard, because they would cluster poor stu-

dents in schools at a much higher ratethan the county average.

Overall, about 20 percent of studentsin Fairfax County are poor enough to

receive subsidized or free meals. These are stu-dents from families who are poor by any rea-sonable measure.

Research shows that performance lags inschools with high concentrations of poor stu-dents, and one set of guidelines suggests thatschool populations should be no more than 40percent students who are poor.

There are places where this is nearly impos-sible, whole school districts that have high con-centrations of poverty. Not so here in Fairfaxwhere the average household income is morethan $100,000, the wealthiest county in thecountry by recent measures.

Yet in 31 elementary schools in FairfaxCounty, more than 40 percent of the studentsare poor. That’s 31 out of 137 schools, or morethan 22 percent of the county’s elementaryschools with a student body with a very highpoverty rate, defined as 40 percent or morestudents receiving subsidized lunch.

Seventeen elementary schools in FairfaxCounty have a poverty rate of more than 50

Boundary changes should not create schoolswith high concentrations of poverty.

percent, with some much higher.It’s one more reason for the school board to

consider a county-wide boundary study. (An-other big reason: some schools are over-crowded while others have many open seats.)

Although the house is hard to see nestlednext to an eight-lane Centreville Road anda few hundred feet from the Dulles TollRoad, it tells a great deal of the area’s his-

tory. Merrybrook, at 2346 Centreville Road, was thehome of Civil War spy Laura Ratcliffe.

The public will have a chance to visit the Civil War-era home on Saturday, Dec. 6, when it will be dis-played as one of five homes on the 22nd HolidayHomes Tour of Herndon. “We are hoping people willcome out and be enthusiastic about the tour,” saidConnie Hutchinson, Town of Herndon vice mayorand the executive director of the Herndon DullesVisitor’s Center.

Hutchinson said all five houses would be decoratedfor the holidays. “It’s a fun afternoon and it’s a greatway to get some ideas for holiday decorations,” shesaid. Hutchinson added that the visitors on the tourwould also learn about Herndon’s history, both fromthe architectural styles of some of the older housesand from the families who have lived in Herndon forgenerations. “They will get a little bit of history, goodHerndon and family histories,” she said.

Five civic groups — The Rotary Club of Herndon,The Herndon Woman’s Club, The Herndon OptimistClub, The Herndon Fortnightly Club and The Friendsof Laura Ratcliffe — came together to salvage thetour and each is sponsoring a house. Hutchinson saidthe involvement of the civic groups could generatemore interest among Herndon’s residents for the tour,which was disbanded for a short amount of time be-fore the groups came together to revive it. Proceedsfrom the tickets will benefit the Visitor’s Center, whileeach group will have a chance to provide informa-tion about their work to the tour visitors at the housesthey are sponsoring.

Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on Saturday.They are available at the Visitor’s Center and theHerndon Florist, both located on Lynn Street. Thetour will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. TheHerndon Downtown Alliance is also sponsoringArtSpace Herndon, the community arts center at 750Center Street, as a rest stop for the tour. For moreinformation contact Hutchinson at the HerndonDulles Visitor’s Center at 703-HERNDON.

Community Notes

Ben Spector, a 10-year-oldHerndon resident, hasalways loved Lego. Hehas also had a long-time

fondness for the local charityHerndon-Reston FISH (Friendly,Instant, Sympathetic Help). Re-cently, he had a brainstorm abouthow he could bring these two in-terests together.

Spector said, “I think FISH isgreat. They help people right inour community. I also like to shopat their store, the Bargain Loft,because they sell such cool stuff. Ilove Lego because it is fun and itlets kids be really creative.

“I usually have a bake sale ev-ery year, with my friends, to raisemoney for FISH. But, the truth is,I really don’t like baking verymuch. So I always try to get mymom to bake most of the cookiesand I mainly help with the selling.

“So this year, I had a differentidea. I used Lego Digital Designerto customize some tiny stocking-stuffer sized Lego sets. I designedthem so that they would not bevery expensive to reproduce. ThenI ordered a whole bunch of themusing some of my saved allowance.My parents helped with that part,too.

“I’m going to work with FISH tosell them, instead of having a bakesale again this year.”

The mini stocking-stuffer Legosets will be available for sale atFISH’s thrift store, the BargainLoft, during the holiday season.There are two different sets. Oneis a firefighter with extinguisherand axe. The other is a girl in atiny field with flowers. They willsell for $3 each or two for $5.

“We are going to sell the setsalready gift wrapped becausethat’s more convenient for the cus-tomers. I think people will likethem,” Spector said.

Herndon-Reston FISH has beenhelping local people to meet emer-

gency and short-term needs since1969. According to Marcia DiTrapani, president of the FISHboard of directors, “Our goals areto prevent evictions, keep utilitiesfrom being turned off, get peopleto and from important medicalappointments and help people topay for critically needed medica-tions. We also provide educationabout financial planning. Intoday’s economy, our services areneeded more than ever before.

“We are so pleased when youngpeople, like Ben, see the impor-tance of our work and do some-thing to help. Students from localschools, Scouting groups and othercivic organizations help us withmany of our activities, such as fill-

ing and delivering Thanksgivingbaskets and coordinating our holi-day gift drive. We happily acceptassistance from any individuals orgroups wishing to help us.”

As for his newest method of as-sisting FISH, Spector said he ishoping for lots of customers at theBargain Loft this holiday season.“People who don’t have kids thatwould like my mini Lego setsshould still go to the Bargain Loftto shop or donate. If we keeppeople interested in helping FISH,then FISH can keep helping every-body who needs assistance. I hopewe raise a lot of money,” Spectorsaid.

Despite Loss, Restoration CompleteOakton falls to Oscar Smith, 10-7, but successfully restores program’s image.

By Jason Mackey

The Connection

Nearly a year ago, Jack Tyler andhis Oakton teammates startedrepeating the phrase “15 asOne,” meaning 15 games played

together should be enough to garner theschool’s first Virginia AAA state title since 2005.

Oddly enough, the team fell two wins short,but still accomplished a secret, less-discussedgoal: After two seasons during which the Cou-gars amassed an 11-10 record, the prominencehas been restored within Oakton’s football pro-gram.

“Our team goal was ‘15 as One’ because wehad high hopes of winning the state champi-onship,” Tyler, a senior linebacker, said. “Butbehind the scenes our goal was to restore theteam and get back to not making bad deci-sions because that was gone for a coupleyears.”

With 1 minute, 27 seconds to play last Sat-urday afternoon, Oscar Smith’s Ryan Trotmanbooted a 23-yard field goal, pushing the visit-ing Tigers ahead for good, 10-7, in the Vir-ginia AAA state semifinals.

Tyler and Co. battled Oscar Smith — rankedas the 12th-best high school team in the na-tion by USA Today — to the brink, despite play-ing without leading passer and rusher ChrisCoyer for most of the game. Coyer was cartedoff the field by an ambulance with 3:52 left inthe first quarter.

On second and 13 from the Tigers’ 48-yardline, Coyer took off on a designed run to hisright. While two Oscar Smith defenders latchedonto Coyer’s lower body, linebacker JerodAskew delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit thatleft the senior signal caller motionless, but notunconscious.

Coyer suffered a fracture of the spinous pro-cess C-7 vertebrae. His neck has since beenimmobilized and he’s had some bleeding andswelling. But Coyer, who also plays basketball,expects to make a full recovery and to rejointhe basketball team around the end of Janu-ary.

During the 27-minute break, classmate RyanHarris started to throw. Harris has rotated withCoyer for the past three years, providingOakton with a more-than-viable backup op-tion should something like this happen.

THOUGH HARRIS missed on his first at-tempt, the 5-foot-11 lefty followed by leadinga nine-play touchdown drive midway throughthe second quarter, capping it with a perfectlyplaced 22-yard fade route to Jay Young insidethe left pylon.

“It was a play-action pass where Jay wasgoing to fake like he was going to block [theOscar Smith defender] and then blow by him,”said Harris, who completed six of his 17 passesfor 92 yards. “I got good time from the offen-sive line and I just put it up there and let himdo the rest.”

The 7-0 score would remain until there was4:37 left in the third when Oscar Smith quar-

terback Phillip Sims (19 of 32, 237 yards) hitwideout Tim Smith (eight catches, 139 yards)from 8 yards out to tie it. The score was set upby an earlier 70-yard connection between thetwo.

Despite 59 second-half yards from seniorrunning back Trey Watts, Oakton was unableto work its way beyond Oscar Smith’s 16-yardline before Watts and Harris combined tofumble a handoff with four minutes remain-ing, setting up the winning field goal.

With Oakton trying to make one last pushfrom its own 23, Harris hit Watts for 11 yardsbefore four straight incompletions finallyended it.

ON OAKTON’S final offensive play, Harristhrew over the middle to Watts, who appearedto cradle the ball before it hit the ground. Twoline judges began to mark the spot correspond-ing to a catch, but the back judge reversed thecall, turning the ball over to Oscar Smith ondowns.

“You can’t change the call,” said Watts, whorushed nine times for 66 yards Saturday. “Os-car Smith is a hell of a team and they playedgreat. Nothing against those guys … I hope

they go win states.”While Oscar Smith will travel to Virginia

Tech’s Lane Stadium this Saturday to faceOsbourn, Oakton was forced to deal with a 12-month mission that finished two wins shy ofthe Cougars’ ultimate intention.

As players gathered in an auxiliary gym, longafter fans had awkwardly wiggled out of thecongested parking lot, raw emotion prohibitedteenage athletes from realizing exactly whatthey had accomplished. But the message wasn’tlost on their coach.

“When I started this season with my coach-ing goals and my coaching staff, we said thatwins and losses don’t matter. We just want ourprogram back,” said head coach Joe Thomp-son, whose team finished 13-1 this season. “Wejust wanted it to be one of pride and one ofcommitment where you play with passion andheart.

“One thing that I told them was that whenyou commit that much, the pain is sharp. Andthey’re going to feel it again in life. They’regoing to work as hard as they can on some-thing and lose it and it’s going to hurt. But ifthey work that hard, they’re going to win morethan they lose.”

After senior quarterback Chris Coyer suffered a fracture in his C-7 vertebrae,classmate Ryan Harris took control of Oakton’s offense, completing six of 17passes for 92 yards and a touchdown.
