Sterling

The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors decided Nov. 17 to launch next year a six month pilot program, where zoning inspectors working on Saturdays will pro-actively investigate areas in eastern Loudoun known for high numbers of complaints of unkempt properties and overcrowded homes.

According to county documents, the program will run between Jan. 1, 2010, and June 30, 2010, and will focus on areas in Sterling that do not have a homeowners association.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to Ned Devines at around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. The stabbing occurred shortly before—apparently initiated when the victim confronted the suspect for allegedly making advances towards his girlfriend and touching her inappropriately on the dance floor. A fight broke out between the two and the victim was stabbed.

The suspect in the assault is described as a black male, 5 feet 7 inches with a thin build.

The unidentified victim was taken to Inova Fairfax Hospital. He is expected to fully recover from his injuries.

Now, there were some old-time moments, especially when hearing about how Julie’s daughter is in college and how Marco’s son has just joined the Air Force. How old does that make me? But for the most part, it really did make me feel young. It was just like high school, except that we are all a little nicer and a little smarter. A few of us are a little rounder, and somehow Doug and Chris are both taller.

At a meeting in Leesburg Oct. 6, the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors gave the go-ahead to a plan by Lerner Enterprises to add 453,000 square feet of offices and a 225,000-square-foot hotel to the Dulles 28 Centre at Route 7 and Waxpool Road. The mall is well known as home to a Wegmans.
