REPORT: METRO ORDERS SILVER LINE BUILDER TO HALT TEST TRAIN RUNSFatimah Waseem
Today at 10:45am
Metro officials have stopped Capital Rail Constructors from running test trains on the Silver due to concerns about construction flaws.The Washington Post
reports that metro officials want to complete their own inspections before allowing test runs to resume. However, a spokesperson for the Silver Line contractor said it has not been told to stop running testtrains.
The Post reports that the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) did not tell Capital Rail Constructors to halt trains because “it didn’t think it needed to,” according to the report. Here’s more from the story: > At its regularly scheduled meeting Wednesday, MWAA’s board > appeared unfazed following a project update report, saying it was > moving forward and would be ready to carry passengers in July 2020.>
> “I want to compliment you and your staff,” Robert W. Lazaro Jr., > who represents Virginia on the 17-member board, told Charles Stark, > the project’s executive director. The latest issue related to phase two of the Silver Line could delay the overall project. Contractors originally began running test trainsin February.

NEW LAKESIDE PHARMACY ICONS EXHIBIT INSTALLED AT LAKE ANNE PLAZAFatimah Waseem
September 19, 2019 at 3:30pm Previous Image 1/4 Next Image After more than a year of restoration and fundraising, the Reston Historic Trust & Museum has installed new historic icons to honor Lakeside Pharmacy,
one of the first businesses to open at Lake Anne Plaza. The pharmacy, which operated in the plaza for nearly 50 years, closed after owner and pharmacist Larry Cohn retired in 2014. The icons, which were previously used to advertise for the pharmacy, were removedlast year
to make way for new businesses. The new icons were installed a few steps away from their original location, despite a cease and desist request from the owner of Kiln and Co ., a pottery business that also serves up frozen yogurt and is located next to theexhibit.
Sarah Selvaraj, the owner, said the installation of the icons on the wall — which is showing signs of disrepair — could cause further damage to area businesses. The museum did not formally respond to a Sept. 12 letter from Selvaraj’s attorney and a declined to offer public comment on the issue. Hirad Najafbagy offered a significant donation in honor of his parents, Hooshang and Farah Najafbagy, who operated Calvert Gourmet Shop at the plaza for many years after immigrating to the United States. The exhibit was installed earlier this week with the help of Krohn Design and Capitol Museum Services. A ribbon-cutting to celebrate the museum’s 22nd anniversary and the dedication for the new exhibit was held yesterday (Wednesday). More than 80 donors helped make the new exhibit possible. _Photos by__ __Charlotte Geary Photography_21 Comments

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACTION CENTER OPEN IN HERNDONFatimah Waseem
September 19, 2019 at 1:15pm A new Domestic Violence Action Center is now open in Herndon. The center will offer advocacy services as part of the Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center (1086 Elden Street). Before the domestic violence center opened this month, residents in the northwestern region of Fairfax County used the nearest domestic violence action center at the Historic Courthouse to meet with victim advocates. The new center opens up opportunities for victims of domestic and sexual violence to seek help from staff. “A crucial component for engaging victims in services is access to the necessary resources available to them,” said Kevin Ochs, advocacy services supervisor for Fairfax County Domestic and Sexual Violence Services. “We are proud and excited to expand our services and offer advocacy services in the Northwest region of Fairfax County and build upon our relationship with the community.” Services will be available on Fridays only from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Meetings with victim advocates are free and are offered in English and Spanish. Appointments and call-ins are welcome. The Herndon Neighborhood Resource Center offers resources and programs to address the community’s social and economic challenges, improve community interaction, and provide support for academic achievement and the enhancement of parent engagement. Here’s from about the Domestic Violence Action Center from thecounty:

DEL. KEN PLUM: LEGISLATING BY SKULDUGGERY Del. Ken Plum September19, 2019 at 10:45am
_
This is an
opinion column by Del. Ken Plum (D), who represents Reston in Virginia’s House of Delegates. It does not reflect the opinion ofReston Now._
Last week while Democrats in the North Carolina House of Representatives were attending a 9/11 remembrance service, Republicans called a surprise vote to overturn the Democratic governor’s veto of the state budget. While Democrats and media were told that there would be no voting during the morning session, Democrats’ attendance at the vigil allowed Republicans to get the three-fifths vote needed toover-ride the veto.
Reaction to the maneuver has been harsh. The Charlotte Observer in an editorial said that “the verdict is now plain. North Carolina’s Republican legislative leaders–not actually leaders but connivers–are beyond shame.” The paper described what happened as a “stunning display of contempt for democracy…but this isn’t a case simply of hardball politics and sly legislative maneuvering. This is a case of breaking faith with the people…” The Senate must concur on the over-ride before it becomes effective. Before Virginians get too smug about what happened in North Carolina we must remember what happened in the Virginia General Assembly about a month ago. With the continuing string of mass murders in the country–beginning about the time of the massacre at Virginia Tech that for a while was the largest ever and continuing through a mass shooting at a Virginia Beach municipal building–Governor Ralph Northam called a special session of the General Assembly to consider several bills intended to reduce gun violence. The special session convened on July 9 to take up bills related to gun violence but without notice to Democrats or media the Republican majority adjourned 90 minutes later without taking up any of the bills and with a return date scheduled after the elections. There were no bills among those introduced to respond to gun violence that would have confiscated guns or altered the Second Amendment. They were common-sense bills that according to all public opinion polls I have seen are supported by more than 80 percent and some by more than 90 percent of the public. The experience in Virginia can be described by the same terms of that in North Carolina: contempt for Democracy, a travesty of the process, legislative deceit. You may have seen news reports that the Republican floor leader in the Virginia House received a $200,000 campaign contribution from the NRA several weekslater.
Partisan control of the Virginia House and Senate are on the line this November 5 as all 140 seats are on the ballot. There are numerous critically important issues on the ballot that it would take several columns to enumerate. I do want to add one that gets too little discussion and that is legislative reform. Such reform includes independent drawing of legislative district lines, or getting rid of gerrymandering, that allows the abuses of legislative power in North Carolina and Virginia that are discussed here. As the Charlotte Observer said of the situation in North Carolina, “It was an illegitimate majority acting in an unethical way.” What happened in both states demonstrates once again that the speakership be defined not as the head of the majority party but as an impartial and fair leader. In both instances the speakers of their respective houses should have stopped these episodes of legislating byskulduggery.

TWO RABID ANIMALS FOUND IN HERNDONFatimah Waseem
September 19, 2019 at 9:45am Two animals located less than a mile apart have tested positive for rabies, according to the Fairfax County Health Department.
Health officials are urging residents to stay away from wild animals and report animal attacks to the count immediately after a dog and raccoon and a groundhog tested positive for rabies within the lastmonth.
On August 16, the groundhog was killed by a dog on the 2500 block of Brofferton Court. The raccoon was killed by a dog in a yard on the 12800. Block of Pinecrest Road on September 13. Health officials believe the animals may have had contact with otherpeople or pets.
Rabies is a fatal but preventable viral disease. It can spread to people and pets if they are bitten or scratched by a rabid animal. The virus attacks the central nervous system and causes death if medical treatment is not sought immediately. Residents who suspect an animal has rabies should call the Fairfax County Animal Protection Police at 703-691-2131. _Map via Google Maps_2 Comments
