BULLETIN BOARD
There is a free, live simulcast of Arena Stage’s Toni Stage at Nat’s Park on Sunday, Sept. 26 at 7:30 p.m. History is filled with trailblazers and Toni Stone was one of them. Considered a pioneer, Toni Stone is the first woman to play baseball in the Negro Leagues, also making her the first woman to play professionally in a men’s league in the 1950s. Against all odds, Stone shattered expectations and created her own set of rules in the male-dominated sports world. Based on Martha Ackmann’s book Curveball: The Remarkable Story of Toni Stone, award-winning playwright Lydia R. Diamond tells the dynamic story of Stone’s journey of perseverance and resilience just to do what she loved the most—play baseball. arenastage.org.

To My Dear Splash Clientele:
I would first like to tell you how Splash came into being. Having been a BMW motorcycle rider for 19 years, and having gone to Alaska and across most of Canada on same, I was unprepared for a blue-haired lady, talking to her husband, running a stop sign intersecting on Route 17 before Tappahannock, Virginia, on which I was traveling with a young lady who was, shall we say, a little on the “healthy” side. In the ensuing collision, and with the considerable help of my companion’s avoirdupois, I broke two arms and a leg(compound femur- a big ouch) and was in traction for 60 days. There was a substantial settlement with the lady’s insurance company… and that is how I financed the 1978 purchase of the land from the bankruptcy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company; be advised that this is not a recommended manner and source of funding for like-investments.
Now why put a car wash on that Oklahoma-shaped lot on the worst dirt in the Southeast? While sitting in bed with my pre-ex-wife (think “pre-owned” cars), I asked her “What do we drive off the Hill for?” Her answer was “A car wash.” It was that simple, that sincere. After visiting 85 car washes, really, I made the layout and had an architect design the building for Splash, handing him a book of Luis Barragan’s work, my favorite Mexican architect, and told him “that is the flavor, that is the inspiration”, which produced the textures, colors, and angles of the car wash.
Now some twenty-five years later, I have yielded to local needs and personal necessity and have sold the land under Splash, owned by an entity known as the Capitol Hill Racquet Club, a prior venture which was undermined by an architect’s inattention to the financial parameters set out for him, as the lowest bid came in 86% over his budget. Architects are a barrel of fun. But to you my interesting and dear clients, I owe you years of gratitude and tears of emotional separation – this closing and losing contact with you is most difficult. You have supported this locally funded and developed small business for a quarter of a century. After you thank yourselves, I would like to thank you for a great experience, a great ride.
— Adios….Ronan (the omnipresent Irish Setter) and Tim Temple

DC’s School-Based COVID-19 Testing is Now Opt-Out
All DC Public Schools and students at public charter schools participating in the District’s testing program will be automatically eligible for symptomatic and random asymptomatic testing as part of the centralized, school-based COVID-19 testing program with Shield T3. The test will be a non-invasive, saliva-based PCR test. Instead of a nasal swab, students will hold a small vial with a funnel attached and produce a saliva sample. Consent for student COVID-19 testing will take place via an “opt-out” process. Parents, guardians, and students 18 and older can revoke consent through an opt-out form at osse.dc.gov.
