Fire DepartmentHosts Open House

The Great Falls Volunteer Fire Department will be hosting itsannual Open House, Saturday, Oct. 10, from 10 a.m.-4 p.m., at9916 Georgetown Pike, Great Falls. Program includes apparatustours, smoke crawl, children’s fire hose spray, fire fighter dressup and more. Free hot dogs and drinks provided.

Police Issue Deer AlertThe Fairfax County Police Department is launching its seasonal

public awareness effort to remind motorists to be on the lookoutfor deer as they travel the roadways this fall. Studies show thatnearly one in every 136 Virginia drivers will be involved in adeer-related crash over the next 12 months. In Fairfax County, 45percent of all deer collisions are recorded in October and Novem-ber. During deer breeding season, October through December,adult deer are highly mobile. Deer are especially active pre-dawnto mid-morning and dusk to early evening. These periods of deeractivity correspond with traveling commuters, as well as studentsen route to and from school.

Fairfax County Police Department Wildlife Biologist VictoriaMonroe urges motorists, as well as pedestrians and bicyclists, touse caution and to be vigilant in their search for deer. “Whereyou see one deer, there are bound to be many more, as they typi-cally travel in herds,” Monroe said. “Watch for eye shine alongthe roadsides; immediately slow if you spot a deer. If a deer isfrozen in place on the road, reduce speed and flash your head-lights.”

For further information on how to handle deer encounters, smartdriving and deer behavior, check www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police.

The Connection

Due to scheduling changes, a new right-turn lane at the intersection of WalkerRoad and Georgetown Pike is now expected to be in place before the traffic

cut-through on the nearby fire station property isclosed off to accommodate the station’s reconstruc-tion.

Since talk of replacing thenearly 50-year-old stationbegan about seven years ago,citizens have expressed con-cerns that closing down thecut-through that runs acrossthe station’s property, be-tween Walker Road andGeorgetown Pike, wouldcause disastrous traffic back-ups. As a result, a 300-footright-turn lane from south-bound Walker Road ontoGeorgetown Pike wasplanned, but officials did not expect the lane to becompleted until next spring or summer, while thecut-through was supposed to be closed to accommo-date construction this summer.

However, plans for the fire station have been de-layed several months, and the schedule for the laneconstruction has been accelerated.

“We envision that we’re going to have the right-turn lane completed before they start construction,”said Larry Ichter, a project manager with the FairfaxCounty Department of Transportation. He said thecounty had saved time by convincing the VirginiaDepartment of Transportation (VDOT) to carry outmodifications to the traffic signal and by using itsannual contractor to do the lane construction, ratherthan putting the project out to bid. He said the de-partment hopes to have the turn lane, which will

run north past the exiting cut-through entrance, com-pleted by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, construction of the station was delayedwhile the county’s Department of Public Works andEnvironmental Services wrangled with VDOT overfrontage requirements for the front of the stationproperty, said Ken Lim, who is managing the project.In accordance with residents’ wishes, the county hadnot planned to install curb and gutter on GeorgetownPike, along the front of the property, but VDOT hadnot only wanted a curb put in but was asking thatthe road be widened. “We had to convince VDOTthat there was no way we could get [residents] tobuy into that,” Lim said. The two agencies compro-mised, and curb and gutter will be installed withoutwidening Georgetown Pike.

Lim said a contract for construction of the stationwould be put out to bidaround the end of November,and demolition of the exist-ing station should begin inJanuary. The cut-through willhave to be closed in order toaccommodate temporary fa-cilities for the fire depart-ment, which will be locatedonsite during the station’sdemolition and rebuilding,he said. Firefighters will behoused in a trailer, and alarge bubble will shelter the

equipment. “That will be set just off the footprint ofthe existing facility,” Lim said. The new station isexpected to be completed by the summer of 2011.

Wastewater from the facility is tentatively plannedto be hauled off by truck, but Lim said a contractorwas carrying out a feasibility study to determinewhether a neighboring property, currently occupiedby what residents know as “the purple house,” couldprovide a suitable septic field.

The results of the study are not yet in, and until aconstruction contract is secured, the county won’tknow how much money is left in the project’s bud-get to purchase the property and develop a septicsystem.

“That’s really speculative,” said county spokesman

After years of discussion and plan reviews, replacement of the Great Falls Fire Stationis now expected to begin around January.

Last week, the American Cancer Society reported that women diagnosedwith breast cancer are seeing increasingly positive results from treatment,

with mortality rates continuing to drop, a trendthat began in 1990.

In 2009, I was one of more than 190,000U.S. women diagnosed with breast can-cer.

In June, still in the midst of a regi-men of chemotherapy, I walked in theKomen Global Race for the Cure on the Na-tional Mall. It wasn’t the first time I had par-ticipated in the event, but it was my first timeas a breast cancer survivor.

Now finished with my treatment, this is myfirst October — Breast Cancer AwarenessMonth — as a member of the club of more

than 2.5 million women in the country with ahistory of breast cancer. And like the majorityof women whose breast cancer is detectedearly, my prognosis is excellent.

Many, many readers and community mem-bers reached out to me warmly over the courseof the year, and the support from coworkers,community members, breast cancer survivors,family and friends has been amazing and con-tributed mightily to my health and energythroughout my treatment.

But despite the advances in earlydetection, treatment and mortalityrates, more than 40,000 women willdie of breast cancer this year in this

country.As you think about breast cancer survivors

and feel empathy for those in the midst of treat-ment, I urge the women reading this to be surethat they are taking care of themselves, foreveryone reading this to be sure the women intheir lives are as well.

October Is Breast Cancer Awareness MonthEarly detection is keyto success.

Get InvolvedHere are a few of many area events in October to

support breast cancer awareness.

Breast Education Day, Inova Fairfax Hospital,Tuesday, Oct. 13, 8 a.m. – 2 p.m., 3300 GallowsRoad, Falls Church, no registration required.

It’s too late to join the 2009 Komen DC 3-Day forthe Cure, which takes place this weekend, but youcan still donate, or sign up for the 2010 event atwww.the3day.org. Thousands will walk 60 milesover three days to raise awareness and money.

Women’s Health Lunch, Inova Fair Oaks Hospital,Saturday, Oct. 17, 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. 3600 JosephSiewick Drive, Fairfax, Registration is required. Call703-391-3776.

Inova Mount Vernon Hospital, Breast Health andWomen’s

Early detection is the key. Breast cancer isdetected early by self-exams, by doctor examsand by mammograms. Be sure you show upfor all of the above on your own behalf.

Candidate MetLeadership TestTo the Editor:

I want to thank the candidatesfor 34th District delegate for com-ing to our community last Thurs-day evening to discuss the majorissues facing us here in Great Falls,as well as elsewhere in the state,and their respective positions onthese issues. Clearly, it takes agreat deal of courage, initiativeand effort to compete for this job.Also required are intelligence,knowledge and experience.

While both candidates areclearly intelligent, the key factorfor me is Del. Margi Vanderhye’s(D-34) record in applying her in-telligence to the issues she hasdealt with as a community leaderand now as an elected delegate tothe Virginia General Assembly. Ofparticular interest to me are herviews about, and initiatives for,protecting the natural environ-ment. I believe that we must movedeliberately and substantially,now, to address the causes of en-vironmental degradation, so evi-dent in the air, in the pollution ofour rivers and the Chesapeake Bayand in global warming. As difficultas this challenge is, it must be met,in order to secure the future forthe next generation and those in-heriting this environment thereaf-ter. For decades, as a communityleader and as a delegate,Vanderhye has been a strong ad-vocate for a comprehensive pro-gram to encourage conservation ofthe environment and developmentof renewable energy sources.

Demonstrating her proven abil-

ity to work on a bipartisan basis,Vanderhye pointed to her initia-tion of successful legislation thatwill facilitate the production ofelectrical power from farm animalwaste; her co-sponsorship a law toprovide investor tax credit to en-courage development of new tech-nologies and green industries inVirginia. She introduced success-ful legislation to merge the Inno-vative Technology Authority withthe Virginia Research and Technol-ogy Advisory Commission toheighten emphasis on researchand development and introducedthe bill, successfully passed, thatmakes possible a program to pre-vent and treat breast and cervicalcancer for women who eithercould not afford such services orwho were under-served in seekingthem.

Beyond these successful efforts,I am impressed with Vanderhye’scommand of the issues relating toeducation, and especially her em-phasis on the need to develop firstrate thinkers, not just standard testtakers, through the education pro-grams in our public schools andthe necessity to continue supportfor high standards of instructionin our public universities. Hermany years of experience in work-ing to address transportation is-sues in Northern Virginia makesher the person most qualified, Ibelieve, to represent the interestsof 34th District residents in theHouse of Delegates.

In these difficult times, I believeit is essential to have a successfulvoice in Richmond, one who hasmet the test of providing effectiveleadership and who can be trustedto continue this work. This person

is candidate and incumbent del-egate, Margi Vanderhye.

Democrat WhoSupportsComstockTo the Editor:

As a life-long Democrat who hasbeen involved in government andpolitics at the local, state and fed-eral levels for more than 20 years,I am proud to say that I am sup-porting Republican candidate Bar-bara Comstock for the VirginiaHouse of Delegates.

I have worked with prominentnational Democrats including PatMoynihan, Mario Cuomo, ChuckSchumer and Hillary Clinton. Re-gardless of political affiliation,these are individuals who havededicated their lives to public ser-vice, representing the best inter-ests of their country and the con-stituents they have served.

In all the years I have spentaround public officials, I can hon-estly say that I have never beenaround a better person than Bar-bara Comstock and her immenselytalented team of campaign staffand volunteers.

I first met Barbara when I wasleaving my house for an appoint-ment one day, just as an unknownlady and a young gentleman werewalking up my driveway. She in-troduced herself to me as BarbaraComstock, Republican candidatefor the Virginia House of Del-egates. Next thing I realized, we

Letters to the Editor

were engaged in a 45 minute dis-cussion about issues important toVirginians, American citizens, andevery day working people strug-gling in today’s current economicenvironment such as myself.

If one word best describesBarbara’s vast talents, it is leader-ship. Her genuine ability to listenand learn is rare among today’spublic servants. This is evidencedby the fact that she has knockedon more than 12,000 doors inNorthern Virginia to understandthe issues that matter most to in-dividuals and families. She alsodid this in the spring and in thesummer at a time when mostpeople weren’t paying attention tothe importance of the upcomingelections.

While her credentials are mostimpressive as a Georgetown LawSchool graduate, a top aide to U.S.Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10) and a se-nior staffer at the U.S. Justice De-partment, perhaps her most valu-able experience has been that ofboth a working and a stay-at-homemom. She knows the importanceof life/work balance and thenever-ending challenge faced bymillions of people who strive toachieve this on a daily basis.

Barbara and I have certainlyagreed that we disagree on certainspecific issues that are importantto both of us. However, there isone word that best describes whyI am supporting and knocking ondoors for Barbara in the most im-portant elections before us here inVirginia and that is leadership.

I hope you will join me in sup-porting Barbara on Election Day,

The last survivor from theU.S.S. Peary has died. BenGreer died Thursday, Oct.

1, in McLean. He was 90.Greer was a petty officer on

board the United States Clemson-class destroyer when it was sunk byJapanese bombs in Darwin Harbour[in Australia] on Feb. 19, 1942.

Ninety-one men were killedwhen the Peary went down. Doz-ens more, including Greer, wereinjured.

Greer’s nephew, Paul Harringtonof Brisbane, said his uncle wassinging happy birthday to a fellowcrewman when the Japanesebombs struck.

“They were sitting on the boatsinging happy birthday to a guycalled Bluey,” he said.

The blast saw Greer thrown intothe water and badly burnt.

He was rescued by Australiansailor Don Clegg, with whom he

was reunited in Darwin duringcommemorations for the 60th an-niversary in 2002.

“He said he would have beendead himself if they didn’t pickhim up because he was uncon-scious,’” Harrington said.

Greer was taken to a Sydneyhospital. After recovering fromburns he spent the rest of the warat the U.S. Naval Offices in Sydney.

It was in Sydney that he also methis Australian wife Betty.

A qualified lawyer, he worked inGuam handling war claims after

World War II ended.During the 60th anniversary

commemorations Greer, pointedout to local authorities that theyhad put the wrong number — 622— on the memorial to the Pearyon Darwin’s Esplanade.

He stood up in the crowd andsaid: “That’s not my ship.”

It has since been changed to thecorrect number, 266.

Greer is survived by his wifeBetty and five children.

Brian Worthy. “That decision isgoing to be made by the commu-nity and elected officials and thecounty.”

Ichter said he expected construc-tion of the turn lane to begin some-time in November and only take amonth or two, depending onweather and how much otherwork the county’s constructioncontractor had. As far as impactson traffic, he said, “There will besome disruptions, but we’re lim-ited as to the hours we can workby the VDOT permit.” There willbe no work done on the road dur-ing rush hours.

“It’s definitely going to be a goodthing that they’re going to get thatdone. I think that will smooththings out quite a bit,” said EricKnudsen, co-chair of the GreatFalls Citizens Association’s Trans-portation Committee. “Right now,the committee is very happy withthe way VDOT has been respond-ing to our requests for the lastyear,” he said, adding that Super-visor John Foust (D-Dranesville)had been active in helping the citi-zens association work with theagency. He said this was one of anumber of instances of coopera-tion between residents and thestate Department of Transporta-tion, including the new traffic sig-nals on Georgetown Pike at RiverBend Road and Seneca Road anda planned crosswalk on WalkerRoad.

Knudsen said the intersectionwould remain problematic in somerespects. Due to the short line ofsight westward from the north sideof Georgetown Pike, drivers usingthe new turn lane will not be ableto turn right on a red light, whichhe said would cause backups, andlarge trucks will have trouble mak-ing the sharp right turn. “It’s notthe best scenario, but you rarelyget the best scenario,” he said.

“We envision thatwe’re going to havethe right-turn lanecompleted beforethey startconstruction.”

Nov. 3. I can honestly say that I have neverbeen around a finer individual and a finerpublic servant.

Charles AmbrusGreat Falls

Vanderhye Tiltingat WindmillsTo the Editor:

In their recent debate in Great Falls,House of Delegates Candidates Comstockand Vanderhye differed greatly on energyissues. Comstock supports all forms of en-ergy generation, including environmentallysafe oil and gas drilling 50 miles off coastand nuclear power. Vanderhye opposes anyoff-shore drilling and declines to even dis-cuss nuclear power. Vanderhye dismissesoffshore drilling as something that takes tenyears and instead advocates wind powerand other renewable energy sources.

Endorsing renewable energy is great intheory, but ignores reality. As JamesSchlesinger, former Secretary of Energy,notes in “Getting Real on Wind and Solar,”the Washington Post, April 24, 2009, solarand wind power are intermittent sourcesof energy since the sun does not alwaysshine or the wind blow. Consumers, hewarns, will pay a large premium for solarand wind systems and backup fossil fuelsystems when there is no sun or wind. Eco-nomic journalist Robert Samuelson in “TheObama Administration’s Bias Against Oiland Natural Gas,” the Washington Post,April 24, 2009, also points out that windand solar power cannot substitute for U.S.oil because 98 percent of our oil is for trans-portation, not electricity generation. Windand solar energy now account for less thanone percent of US electricity and thus evena tenfold expansion will make only a smallcontribution. Coal, oil, and natural gas willaccount for about 85 percent of US energyfor the foreseeable future no matter what.Yet, since 1990, U.S. oil production has de-creased 23 percent and foreign oil importshave increased from 42 to 58 percent.

Comstock agrees that wind and solar powerhave their place, but argues that sound policyrequires an array of energy options to de-crease U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Off-shore oil and natural gas extraction are com-mon sense solutions that would bring thou-sands of jobs and hundreds of millions in taxrevenue to Virginia, which has an estimated130 million barrels of oil and 1.14 trillioncubic feet of natural gas 50 miles out.Vanderhye opposes offshore drilling eventhough the Virginia General Assembly in2006 voted to allow offshore natural gas ex-ploration. The 27-year federal moratoriumon offshore drilling expired last year settingthe stage for Virginia to move ahead.Obama’s Interior Department, however, isdelaying the process. Virginia’s legislatorsmust press the Administration to move for-ward and also must broaden Virginia’s man-date to include environmentally safe oil andgas drilling in addition to exploration.

Vanderhye’s rejection of energy options thattake ten years is shortsighted and lacks ap-

preciation of the energy catastrophe loomingon the long term horizon. Daniel Nocera,MIT’s Dreyfus Professor of Energy and a TimeMagazine 100 Hundred Most Influential Per-son, estimates that today the world uses about15 terawatts of energy a year (one terawattequals a million megawatts) and that by 2050the world will need 28-35 terawatts. Build-ing 8000 nuclear power plants, one every 2days until 2050, would yield 8 terawatts andputting windmills on every inch of windy landon earth about 2 terawatts. Long term en-ergy needs will require major technologicaland scientific breakthroughs such as Nocera’sdiscovery of a water electrolysis process thatcould lead to cost-effective storage of daytimesolar energy. To that end, MIT has launchedits own Energy Manhattan Project to studyeverything from silicon superstrings to car-bon nanotubes.

If science and technology are to save us inthe long term, we must increase productionfrom all sources in the mean time. Comstockhas shown leadership and vision on the en-ergy issue and also in her plan for a “VirginiaScholars Program” to fund undergraduateand graduate studies for Virginia’s top 100students in math and science, fields criticalto our energy future. Vanderhye’s propos-als—mandates for conservation, recycling,and electrical rate reform—focus primarilyon reducing demand, not increasing supply.Vanderhye’s support for renewable ener-gies—wind, biomass, wave, and tidal —tothe exclusion of fossil fuels and nuclear powerwill ensure that the U.S. energy catastrophearrives sooner rather than later.

Anne Campbell Gruner, EsquireMcLean

Disappointed ByAttack AdsTo the Editor:

Last week, I was disappointed to receivean attack mail piece from the Vanderhye forDelegate campaign trying to trash her op-ponent, Barbara Comstock, who has run apositive and issues focused campaign fordelegate. Then I saw an ad Mrs. Vanderhyeput out on television attacking BarbaraComstock. This is déjà vu of 2007. Why can’twe have a civil campaign discussion? 2007was a nasty campaign in the 34th Districtand I had hoped we were past that behav-ior. Apparently, Vanderhye wants to con-tinue that trend. What’s even more inter-esting about Vanderhye’s nasty attack adsis that she offers up nothing that she hasdone as our representative or what she willdo for our district in the future to produceresults on our priorities. Being a commu-nity activist and sitting on boards doesn’tmean you’ve achieved results. If we’re go-ing to create jobs in Northern Virginia, fixour transportation gridlock and get moremoney back for every dollar we sent to Rich-mond then we need someone who will fo-cus on our priorities, not petty personal at-tacks. With so many pressing issues facingus we need to demand “civil discussions”from our elected officials and campaigns.

The Connection

Braden Anderson, ever since joining the Langley High football program as a freshmantwo years ago, has been groomed as a quarterback. He played the position for the Sax-

ons’ freshmen team as a ninth grader and took thesnaps from center for the junior varsity team lastyear.

This fall, Anderson, who stands a tall 6-foot-4inches and weighs 170 pounds, is the varsity starter.It has been an up and down season for the juniorsignal caller, who has thrown for about 700 yardsand four touchdowns while also throwing severalinterceptions. He was on his game Friday night, Oct.2 in leading the previously winless Saxons to theirfirst victory of the season, a 28-13 triumph at non-district opponent Herndon.

Anderson, a textbook drop back passer, completed16-of-26 passes for 275 yards and a touchdown pass.It was a huge win for Langley (1-4), which had losta tough 21-14 overtime affair against visiting dis-trict rival Fairfax the week before. In that game, Lan-gley led 14-7 late in the final quarter before theRebels scored with just over two minutes remainingto tie the game before pulling off the win in the over-time. It was a game that got away from Langley.

“It’s been a rough road,” said Langley coach JohnHowerton, of his overall young squad that has beenhit by injuries and illnesses. Six Langley players, in-cluding three starters, were unable to suit up againstHerndon for various reasons. One key player out ofthe lineup was talented sophomore running backMarcus Harvey.

But Anderson’s strong play against a physicallysmaller Herndon team gave the Saxons the lift theyneeded. His touchdown pass was a 92-yard scoringstrike to senior wideout Chris Welby in the first quar-ter of a scoreless game. On the play, Andersondropped back and threw a long sideline pass. AHerndon defensive back actually tipped the ball be-fore Welby snatched it and ran 60 or so yards down

the field for the score. Anderson topped the touch-down off with a successful, two-point conversion passto senior Ben Johnson.

Most of Anderson’s passes, with the exception ofthe long scoring play, were short aerials that provedto be successful.

“Braden played very well and was hitting his shortpasses,” said Howerton.

The coach said Anderson has all the tools to be afirst-rate high school quarterback and that, over thepast couple of games in particular, he has playedparticularly well.

“He’s a very bright kid and we have been able todo things now where we can make [play or block-ing] adjustments at the line of scrimmage,” saidHowerton, who thinks Anderson could be a futurequarterback at the college level. “He’s a very goodpasser. He’s a tall kid, he’s young and he has anotheryear with us. He needs to get a little bigger physi-cally, but he has a strong arm.”

ANDERSON has benefited from a solid, big offen-sive line in front of him. Five Saxon linemen are allover 250 pounds, including two at around 290 andanother well over 300. The solid line play has beena key factor in Anderson’s success. In three differentgames, he has thrown for over 200 yards.

Langley, behind its talented line, ran the ball wellagainst the Hornets (3-2). Junior back Bryan Hofgardrushed for 80 yards on 14 carries and senior Abe Yiran for 67 yards and a touchdown on 15 carries.Senior back Austin Pritchett ran for two scores. Lan-gley displayed good offensive balance, rushing forabout 200 yards to go with the 275 yards throughthe air.

“It was definitely a relief waking up the next morn-ing [having won the night before],” said Howerton.“It’s already been a tough road. We’re real young andit has taken us a while to get our offense going.”

Getting into the win column could not have hap-pened soon enough for a Saxons’ squad that openedthe season with losses to Lake Braddock, Chantilly,Madison and Fairfax. Langley is at Marshall Fridaynight, Oct. 9, before coming home to meet Jeffersonthe following Friday. Both are winnable games thatthe Saxons must get before hosting defending Divi-sion 5 Northern Region champion Stone Bridge (5-0) on Oct. 23.
