A mother rushes her fifthgrade son through thedoors of Haycock Elemen-

tary. The mother and son are head-ing to writing clinic, designed toprepare students for fifthgrade. Making sure that allstudents are at the samewriting level is one of theways that Haycock ensuresit is a united school.

Haycock has a large gifted andtalented program with 362 stu-dents out of the total 770 studentsat the school. Principal MaureenBoland said the gifted and talentedprogram is now called the ad-vanced learning program. Anothermethod Haycock uses to bridge thegap between advanced and gen-eral learning students, is takingschool wide field trips.

Haycock expects 770 studentsthis year. “We are about 170 kidsover capacity,” Boland said.“Haycock is a great place, every-one is dying to get in here, that iswhy we are so overcrowded.”

Last year, Haycock re-ceived the Green AppleAward for wellness. Thisschool year, Haycock will be

focusing even more on wellness byincorporating wellness lessonsinto the curriculum. “This year, weare aiming to get the Yellow AppleAward, an even higher wellnessaward than the Green AppleAward,” Boland said.

This year Haycock’s drama pro-gram will also be strengthenedwith the return of a retired musicteacher who will work on a flex-ible basis.

The old Merchants Tire and Auto Center on Route7 in Tysons Corner was torn down last week to makeway for an entrance pavilion from the north side ofthe road to the planned Tysons Central Metro sta-tion. It is the only building to be demolished to makeway for the first phase of Rail to Dulles, which runsto Whiele Avenue.

Merchants has relocated to a new location onSpring Hill Road. One other Route 7 business, theBusiness Bank, has relocated as a result of rail con-struction. The bank moved from the corner of Route7 and Gosnell Road to Greensboro Drive.

Construction workershoisted the first steelbeams of the high occupancy toll (HOT)

lanes construction project in TysonsCorner around midnight on thenight of Monday, Aug. 24. In total,39 beams will be placed over Route123 at its interchange with the Capi-tal Beltway, as the highway is rebuiltand the new lanes added.

Nick Nicholson, program direc-tor for Virginia Megaprojects, saidthe placement of the beams overRoute 123 represented a milestonein any bridge construction, whenthe substructure of foundationsand piers is topped with the su-perstructure that would actuallytraverse the gap.

To allow for the work to be done,southbound Route 123 was closedand will be closed at night for thenext couple of weeks, reopeningat 5 a.m. Drivers trying to get fromMcLean to Tysons Corner orVienna at night are being advisedto either take the Beltway northto Georgetown Pike, where theycan turn around and then get ontoRoute 123 south from the Beltwayor take the Dulles Toll Road toSpring Hill Road or Route 7. No

Dulles Rail project,” Nicholsonsaid. Rail is to pass over theBeltway at that interchange and isbeing built at the same time as theHOT lanes. He said the VirginiaDepartment of Transportation(VDOT) and Flour were meetingweekly with Dulles Transit Part-ners to coordinate constructionand stay out of each other’s way.

Chris Collins, director of publicaffairs for Fluor-Lane, the com-pany building the HOT lanes, saidwork on the new northboundbridge would not begin for an-other year or so.

Work will be cut back in Novem-ber so that the outside lanes ofRoute 123, which closed downearly this year, can be reopened forthe holiday shopping season, butthey will then be shut down againfor at least another 18 months.HOT lanes construction is not ex-pected to be completed until late2012 or early 2013.

A connection from WestparkDrive to the HOT lanes is alsoplanned for the interchange, butwork has not yet begun on thatproject, Nicholson said.

toll will be collected to get on thetoll road from Route 123, but a tollwill be collected to get off atSpring Hill Road or to get to Route7. Those trying to go south on theBeltway from southbound Route123 are also being advised to gonorth and turn around atGeorgetown Pike.

The ramp from the southboundBeltway to Route 123 north wasalready shut down for 45 days, be-ginning on Sunday, Aug. 16. Driv-ers can instead make a short jumpeast on the Dulles Toll Road to getto Route 123. There are no toll-booths there.

In mid-September, the work willstop as another bridge pier is built,and then the nighttime closuresand laying of beams will resumefor the first half of October. Theschedule, though, depends in parton the weather.

The bridge now being built willbecome the new southboundBeltway bridge sometime nextspring, and the current bridge willbe demolished to make way for aHOT lanes bridge and Dulles Railpiers, Nicholson said.

“What makes this convoluted iswe have to coordinate with the

Nighttime closures, detours accommodate work.

First HOT Lanes Beams Go UpIn preparation for the first steel beams to be placed across Route 123 at the CapitalBeltway, a crane readies the cross frames that will help hold the beams in place.

People Need FoodFood pantries can’t keep up with surging demandfor food; donate now.

Editorial

In Demand❖ Canned proteins (tuna, salmon, chicken,

Right now, things are so verybleak.” That’s how the coordi-nator of one local food bankdescribed the situation, with

demand for food up more than 50 percent fromlast year, and donations right now dwindling.

Schools and churches often provide the pipe-

line for food donations to pantries, food banks,but that pipeline runs dry in the summer.

Your family can help right now by donatingfood or money to your local food pantry. Planto give again in early fall, and again at Thanks-giving and Christmas. You can organize a fooddrive at your place of work, or in your neigh-borhood.

The ongoing recession andloss of jobs are driving the surgein families showing up a foodbanks. There are more unem-

ployed people in Northern Virginia than in anyother part of the state, with more than 80,000unemployed here according to the VirginiaEmployment Commission. While the employ-ment rate is lower here as a percentage of thepopulation, this area still has the largest num-ber of people unemployed.

People have lost their jobs, are unable to findnew ones. In some cases people who ownhomes are stuck, unable to sell their housesbecause the homes are worth less than theypaid for them, and are facing foreclosure aswell.

These families have used up their safety net,spent their savings. They find themselves with-out being able to put food on the table, and

they turn to local food banks, food pantries,churches and other charitable organizations fortheir most basic needs.

“The people coming in the door are peoplewho have lost all their savings. The lack of jobsis the predominant theme we’re hearing,” saidBonnie Inman of Loudoun Interfaith.

The McLean SHARE Food Pantry, located inthe McLean Baptist Church, is running low onfood and other basic provisions. At this timeof the year and because of the economy, foodand other donations have fallen off signifi-cantly but the need for food and other neces-sities is growing, the organization says.

The message is the same around the area.

Gillies’ Life AsAn InspirationTo the Editor:

I read of the tragic passing of20 year old Bryce Gillies[“Friends, Family Recall BryceGillies,” McLean Connection,Aug. 12-18] who perished in theGrand Canyon and it took mybreath away and broke myheart. Obviously, a stunningyoung man of character and ac-complishment — as EagleScout, an impressive collegestudent, accomplishedoutdoorsman/conservationistand volunteer at all stages of hisyoung life — I send my sincer-est condolences to his family,friends and all those hetouched. His volunteer work tobuild an irrigation system for avillage in Ghana was a testa-ment to the scope of his deter-mination, drive and limitlessfuture of good works. His younglife is already an inspiration tome and may all that love andlearn about Bryce aspire to con-tribute and achieve in the worldthe way he did.

Home Improvements and Repairs that Always Get an A+Fully Insured Class A Contractor

Ahhh, teens today ...when I was a kid Inever texted, IMedand what’s with smil-

ing sideways? This is what runsthrough a typical adult’s head,which is probably why teens endup being required to do 40 to 150hours of community service inschool a year. So is it just one ofthose “character building” tactics,or does it really impact teen lives?

“My parents feel like I need toget more involved, as in helpmore, in the community,” saidSydney Kee, 14, who lives in GreatFalls and attends Langley HighSchool. She did more than 40hours of community service lastyear. “Some teens really want tohelp ... but others aren’t as moti-vated and do [community service]because they are forced to. It’sgood that teachers make commu-nity service an assignment becauseteens who don’t do it, aren’t asaware about what’s happeningaround them.”

Just like any other activity thatsounds a little boring to teen’s

ears, there are excuses. The mostcommon excuse heard from teenswould be something like: “I don’tknow what to do to ‘help the com-munity’ or even what ‘helping thecommunity’ means.” Well, it couldmean something as little as bak-ing 40 cookies, 10 for yourself and30 for a senior center. Or it couldmean actually going to the seniorcenter and pushing wheelchairsaround and having funny conver-sations with the residents. Help-ing your community is anythingthat you do voluntarily, withoutpay or being forced to.

“I believe that having studentsparticipate in the communityteaches them how they can better

serve the community as citizens,”said Daniela Goldstein, an eighthgrade civics teacher at CooperMiddle School. “Although studentsare only required to do a certainnumber of hours, I hope that theylearn that as citizens we shouldalways help our community, notjust for a school project.”

Currently, at Cooper MiddleSchool, only seven hours of com-munity service per quarter are re-quired for the eighth grade civicsclass, making a total only 28 hoursper year. At Marshall High School,150 CAS (creative, action, service)hours are needed in an IBcandidate’s junior and senioryears. During Obama’s 2008 cam-paign, he made it clear that he wasa big believer in youth service. “[Iwould like to] set a goal for allAmerican middle and high schoolstudents to perform 50 hours ofservice a year, and for all collegestudents to perform 100 hours ofservice a year,” he said, at oneuniversity.

After all, it was JFK who saidin front of a cheering crowd, “Asknot what your country can do foryou; ask what you can do for yourcountry.”

Back to School

Longfellow Middle Schoolwill welcome about1,190 seventh andeighth graders on Sept.

8. This year students will go backto school to renovations, whichstarted on June 22 and will lastuntil June 2012. The renovationwill come with 26 new classroomsout on the tennis courts — the so-called Villas of Lancer Park.

“The PTA has done a fabulousjob,” said Principal Carole Kihm.“They’re doing a beautification ofLancer Park. There will be plantsout there, benches, banners andthey’re putting Deer Park water inall the villas.”

Due to the renovations, Kihmadded a new goal to her usualgoals for the school year: renova-tion will not impact mastering ex-cellence.

Longfellow prides itself on itshigh-achieving and involved stu-dents. Last year, the KnowledgeMasters team won first place in thecountry. Kihm has also added anew business partner for theschool: Barnes & Noble. “We’ll

share authors,” said Kihm, “whenthey visit Barnes & Noble, they’llalso visit Longfellow.” Some stu-dents will be returning to school alittle early this year. Longfellow’sStart to Success program, whichteaches incoming seventh gradersabout note-taking and study skillsstarted on Aug. 24.

The Connection

Some people think thatMcLean resident BobHampton is buried neara Little League field in

McLean, where a stone bears hisname, said friend Dennis Lucey.On a recent visit to that same field,however, Hampton was above, notbelow the stone. He even exhib-ited his pitching motion on theLittle League mound.

Bob Hampton, 89, was raisednear Galax, Va., which is locatedabout seven miles from the NorthCarolina border. He called it a“very pleasant area” and said thatit currently hosts a fiddler’s con-vention that “people come from allover” to see. His dad loved musicand spent time studying hisfamily’s genealogy.

Hampton received his first edu-

cation at an early age. His mother,who taught in a one-room school-house, would take the 4-year-oldHampton with her and let him sitin the classroom. As a result, hewas a fourth-grader at age 6.

“That put me ahead of my class,”he said.

He graduated from a Galax HighSchool in 1935, spent a year withhis grandparents, and thenworked with his uncle for anotheryear. Hampton then attended Vir-ginia Polytechnic Institute from

Hannah Schlesinger, 10, of McLean,took home gold, silver, bronzeand pewter medals at the 2009

United States Figure Skating Association’sNational Showcase Competition, whichtook place Aug. 13-15, at the World Arenain Colorado Springs, Colo. More than 190qualifying skaters from around the UnitedStates participated in the National Show-case, which emphasizes artistic and theat-rical figure skating. Schlesinger ended upfourth overall, earning a pewter medal, in

the Preliminary Extemporaneous category,an event in which all the skaters must cho-reograph their own programs to the samemusic in a closed-door, 45-minute warm upwith no assistance from coaches. Her na-tional medal-winning performance was cho-reographed by Hannah just moments be-fore she took the ice, to Ray Charles’ rendi-tion of “Hit the Road, Jack.” She earned agold medal in her Light Entertainmentqualifier, performing a program choreo-graphed to the bluegrass classic, “Foggy

Mountain Breakdown.” She finished fifth inthe nation in that category. Schlesingerearned a bronze medal in her DramaticEntertainment qualifier, performing a pro-gram choreographed to Tchaikovsky’s “TheNutcracker.” She finished sixth in the na-tion in that category. Schlesinger was oneof only two skaters in her division to makeall three final rounds, and one of only nineskaters to receive National medals. Hercoaches, Inna Volyanskaya and Nick Perna,worked with Schlesinger for months priorto the competition, honing these programs.The full results of the event are available atwww.icenetwork.com.

The Connection

McLean and Langley highschools are known to be rivals. Jeff Johnson, whograduated from McLean in

1977, remembers when at least one McLeanstudent poured gasoline on the grass atLangley. Jackie Johnson, Jeff’s wife and aclass of 1980 graduate at McLean, recallsthe time when Langley spray-painted theMcLean track.

But on Oct. 1, alumni from those schoolsand Bishop O’Connell High School willcome together for a golf tournament thatsupports the Walter Reed Fisher House.

“We were still friends” in high school, saidJackie Johnson, the Alumni Golf Tourneyorganizer. “It’s just a fun event.”

Of the $100 entrance fee, $25 goes di-rectly to the Fisher House, Jeff Johnson said.That price provides players with 18 holesof golf, a golf cart, range balls, lunch anddinner and prizes.

REGISTRATION for the event will beginon Thursday, Oct. 1, at 10:45 a.m. After alunch, the tournament itself will begin at12 p.m. with a shotgun start. An awardsceremony and dinner are planned after thecompetition.

Jackie Johnson would like to see twothings develop for the tournament in thefuture: an increase in female participation,and additional support from companies.

“We’re looking for more sponsors,” shesaid.

Every school has won the event so far,with McLean securing first place last year.But rivalries aside, this year’s competitorswill all support the same team.

“The winner will be the Fisher House,”Jeff Johnson said.

THE MCLEAN, LANGLEY O’CONNELLAlumni Golf Tourney has taken place since2005. It commenced as part of the Johnsoncouple’s efforts to support the Walter ReedFisher House, which they learned aboutwhen delivering donations to the WalterReed Army Medical Center. According to itsWeb site, the Fisher House charity providesa home environment for military familiesstaying with an injured family member.Forty-three such houses exist in proximityto military health facilities.

“Our military families are probably themost deserving,” said Doug Megill, a Ster-ling resident who graduated from Langleyin 1979. Megill is the Langley representa-tive for the tournament’s golf committee.

The competition will take place at theHerndon Centennial Golf Course, located

on 909 Ferndale Ave.“It’s a great course,” Jeff Johnson said.

He hit a hole in one on the 14th hole lastyear.

“We’re honored to have [the tourna-ment],” said course superintendent MikeMueller. Normal preparations are in storefor the event. Those include mowing thecourse surface and raking the bunkers.Mueller hopes to play host to the tourna-ment in the future as well.

Langley and McLean might be rivals, butthat did not stop students at competingschools from interacting. Although “peoplesplit up” when they attended different highschools in the area, they “still kept in touch,”said James Whittaker, a member ofMcLean’s class of 1976 and one of the spon-sors for the event.

Whittaker first heard about the FisherHouse from the Johnsons. He agreed to playin and sponsor the first Alumni Golf Tour-ney and invited friends from other highschools to play.

News

1937 to 1941. The college was “almostexclusively” a military school at the time,he said, but he chose to remain a civilian,as he had “no desire” to enter the infantry.

HAMPTON found employment in the De-partment of Agriculture’s Soil ConservationService, which served to help prevent soilerosion on landowners’ property. But hefound himself drafted for the military notlong after entering that field, and chose togo into the Navy.

After training at Notre Dame, Hamptontraveled to San Francisco for service on theU.S.S. Bulmer, a destroyer that guardedmerchant traffic on the route to Pearl Har-bor.

“We were doing pretty easy duty,” he said.Thanks to food stops in San Francisco, “weate extremely well.”

The destroyer later moved to the Atlanticfor convoy duty. This time, it was GermanU-Boats that his ship guarded against.

After closing out his service with the Navy,Hampton traveled to Cornell for graduateschool. While there, he served as an assis-tant for Herrell DeGraff, a professor whomhe called a “tremendous man with a per-sonality equally impressive.”

Before receiving his degree, however,Hampton received a tuberculosis diagnosisin 1948. He spent time at a hospital fortreatment and eventually received surgeryon his lungs to aid in the treatment pro-cess.

After recovering from the disease, Hamp-ton received a degree in marketing, withminors in international trade and culturalanthropology. He taught as an assistantmarketing professor, then worked for theDow Chemical Company. He changed ca-reers in 1959, joining International Paper,for which he worked in New York. Hamp-ton was later promoted to the position ofmarketing research manager there.

After his many changes of residence,Hampton settled in McLean, where he haslived for the past 45 years. He arrived in

the Washington, D.C. area in 1964 to workin the National Council of Farmer Coopera-tives trade association. When an employeecutback occurred in 1982, he joined theAutomobile Importers Association. Hecalled his 15 years there as a consultant the“most interesting part of my life.”

In addition to his work in the D.C. area,Hampton established himself as a memberof the McLean Little League community. Afield in the McLean Little League system isnamed in his honor.

He began coaching baseball in 1965 andmade sure to give his team plenty of bat-ting practice. The many rocks he threw as akid helped build his endurance for throw-ing pitches to Little Leaguers.

Hampton spent around 40 years as acoach and manager for various Little Leagueteams. He won the McLean championshipin 1972 with “a wonderful team,” and re-calls coaching Chris Pedersen, a “toppitcher” who sends him a Christmas cardeach year. The coaching veteran remainsinvolved with youth baseball today, butmainly as an “on-demand” coach.

Hampton’s life has not been a solo affair.He married Ruth Rosenbeck in 1943, hav-ing met her near the Brooklyn Navy Yardand remains with her to this day. He has sixchildren as well.

MCLEAN RESIDENTS may know Hamp-ton by the extensive tree planting he hasdone in the area. He “had the most beauti-ful wood lot” while working in New York,he said, which helped inspire him to in-crease the amount of foliage in McLean.

He has planted trees at seven differentschools, including a group of white pinesat McLean High. He also teamed up withDick Poole, trees committee chairman of theMcLean Citizens Association.

In his 89 years, Hampton has seen a di-verse portrait of the world. His jobs andtravels have taken him to all 50 states andsome 20 to 30 countries. From those tripsand perhaps from everyday life as well, hehas learned one important lesson.

“The world is full of great people,” he said.
