Oktoberfest

Much has been going on around the perimeters of Lago Mar over the last few months. Early in the summer I
was contacted by the president of Kroll Development about a proposed development between Nimmo Parkway
and Cordova Court and in early October I was contacted by Marlyn Development about a proposed development
on Sandbridge Road between Las Brisas and Atwoodtown Road. Since that time, both developers have met with
residents whose property adjoins the proposed developments. Some of the details of these developments follow.
Jeff Kroll, a former resident of Lago Mar, is planning to build single family homes ranging in size from 2,500 to
3,000 square feet on an average lot size of 7,500 square feet. About 25% of the project is planned for the north
side of Nimmo Parkway. The remainder is planned between Nimmo Parkway and Cordova Court where the old
horse farm once stood. This portion has a row of homes that would back up to the back yards of homes along part
of Ranchero Road and Cordova Court. After removing all the vegetation and home construction, a buffer of trees
and shrubs would be planted between the back yards of the two developments. Much of the track of land Kroll has
under contract would remain undeveloped and dedicated to open space. This portion is east of the construction
site and west of Camino Real.
For several months Kroll Development has been working to address a number of the City’s concerns, the most
significant being wetlands and concern over flood plain. The site is currently zoned a combination of agricultural and
business and the developer will seek a rezoning to R-75 which means lots would be a minimum of 7,500 square
feet. Most of Lago Mar’s lots in this section are R-12, 12,000 square feet. While the R-75 zoning request is higher
density than Cordova Court, it is still low compared to apartments or condominiums. Still, residents are concerned
with the proposed lot size, number of homes behind each Lago Mar home, setbacks, and drainage issues. The
developer and the City’s Planning Department say there is little demand for lots as large as what exists in Lago Mar.
Kroll claims that his $300,000 +/- homes will not compete with Lago Mar home values and feels he can plant a
buffer of trees and shrubs that will separate the two developments. Brian Proctor, a resident of Cordova Court, and I
have met with Jeff Kroll in an effort to mitigate some of our residents concerns. In concept he has agreed to increase
the setbacks between his homes and Lago Mar homes, but his design is not complete and he is unsure how much
separation can be achieved. As of this writing, a date has not been set for Kroll Development to appear before
Virginia Beach’s Planning Commission for the rezoning request. Residents are welcome to speak for or against the
rezoning once it is scheduled.
In early October I was contacted by representatives of Marlyn Development of Virginia Beach. Dave Jester,
Marlyn’s president, would like to construct 123 active senior apartment units along Sandbridge Road. This project
would back up to some homes on Corrente Lane, Los Colonis Drive, and Los Conaes Way. The three story
building would contain 800-1100 square foot one and two bedroom apartments for adults age 62 and older.
Marlyn describes some of the selling points as: interior hallways, on site manager, maintenance and activities
coordinator, a lending library, garden plots for residents, computer room, storm water pond with fountain and beach
style architecture. There would be no impact on schools. Marlyn has a history of successful projects for active
seniors across Virginia. They feel this complex will suit a market of residents between those at Sullivan House (need
based) and Atlantic Shores (higher value with many services). Most residents whose property adjoins this project
were notified and an informational meeting was held with the developer at Equi Kids.
Marlyn plans to request a Conditional Use Permit for A-12 (12 apartment units per acre) from the Planning
Commission for property that is currently zoned R-12 (12,000 square foot lots). A tall stand of pine trees currently
exists between Lago Mar homes and the proposed development. Marlyn has offered to make improvements to
the buffer. They have also agreed to proffer approximately half of the land under contract and leave it as open
space. The most prominent of this would be the northwest corner of Atwoodtown Road and Sandbridge Road. The
proposed site does not include existing homes along Atwoodtown Road. Residents are welcome to speak for or
against this proposed development at the Planning Commission meeting once it is scheduled. If approved before
year end, construction could begin in June 2012 and would last for about a year.
If you wish to stay informed about either of these projects, including Planning Commission dates, I encourage
you to sign up for the RSS feeds on our web site. This is the best way we have of sharing immediate news with you.
I wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Treasurer’s Report
by Scott Carlson
We closed September with a balance of $30,155 in our Civic League fund. Thank you to all contributing members who help
make it possible to host events such as Oktoberfest and help us fund some of the upcoming major capital improvements. As I
mentioned in the last edition of the Ledger, we have plans to install a new neighborhood sign at the back entrance of Back Bay.
This capital improvement will be the largest expenditure for this fiscal year and is currently estimated to cost between $12,000
and $15,000.
In comparison to mandatory dues required in a typical home owners association, we rely solely on your voluntary $75 annual
contribution to our Civic League. That is only $6.25 per month or 21 cents per day to help us improve and maintain our firstclass neighborhood! Thank you to the roughly 330 participating Civic League families.
If you have any questions regarding our Civic League finances, please contact me at [email protected].
Thanks again for your support!
Notes from Eileen
by Eileen Littleton
Beautiful weather was bestowed on what turned out to be a wonderful Oktoberfest event. Many residents came out to
enjoy the day and visit with their neighbors. Bubbles the Clown did an exceptional job entertaining the children, of which,
there were many. Jeff and Kim Patrell headed the corn hole tournament; which from all appearances was a huge success.
Several teams competed for a chance to win first prize and bragging rights. Shawn Roewer’s hot pretzels were a terrific
accompaniment for the Samuel Adams Oktoberfest brew which was expertly drawn by our own Anya Wolfenden and her
team. Thanks to Cat Dellen, Pam Swail and Gregg Jones for their cheerful willingness to serve beer.
Even though Pollard’s Chicken provided ample provisions, the desserts and food brought by the residents were a
welcomed treat. Several new residents were in attendance and quite a few commented that not many neighborhoods hold
family events like we do in Lago Mar. Sometimes we forget how fortunate we are and it is nice to be reminded that we live
somewhere truly special.
Beverly Hornick’s friend Yvonne Bailey helped man the membership table. The additional help was deeply appreciated.
A number of residents chose that day to join the Civic League recognizing the value received for the minimal $75 a year
dues.
Thanks to all for helping make this Oktoberfest event a success.
Make sure to read the articles containing information about upcoming events that you won’t want to miss. Santa and his
helpers along with Frosty the snowman will be lining up to warm our hearts as we bunker down against the winter cold.

Neighborhood Crime Update

There were 30 crimes reported in Lago Mar for the period covering May 1st through October 24th. A list of
crimes is easily accessed from the Virginia Beach website at www.vbgov.com for anyone wishing to see specifics.
Several crimes included destruction of private property and larceny. If you haven’t already done so, go to www.
lagomarcivicleague.com and register to receive alerts. Matters of concern are posted and an email will go out to all
who registered. Don’t forget to remove your garage door opener from your car. If your car gets broken into your
garage door opener makes for an easy entry into your home.
Several residents have inquired as to a neighborhood watch program. Past articles have been written regarding a
program but no volunteers have come forward or shown interested in being a block captain. This is not something that
can be done without volunteers. There would be a need for a committee head to coordinate with the block captains in
order for the city of Virginia Beach to support the effort. The email address [email protected] will continue to
be available should anyone’s interest be spiked. Going forward I will provide tidbits on simple tasks that can be helpful
in reducing the opportunity for crime as well as informing you of any incidents or concerns. It is important to report
any suspicious activity you might see. Look after your neighbor’s house while they are away. We all reap the benefits
of a safe neighborhood.
Book Review “From the Beach to the Bay”
by Charlie Littleton
One of our frequent haunts for dinner is the “Board-Wok.” After flipping through the pages on this book several times, I made
the plunge and purchased it. My reasoning was two fold. One I was intrigued about the history of Sandbridge and how it may
shed more light on our Lago Mar neighborhood and secondly, I must confess Sandbridge is my favorite beach. As a side note,
it didn’t hurt that our expanded TV room was a beach theme and it would definitely be a great coffee table book. (No! This was
not what I had envisioned as my “Man Cave”)
I am quite happy with this book and find a new nugget of history and nostalgia whenever I flip through the pages. The book
is broken into historical chapters from the early settlers to today’s condominium and monster beach homes. What a great
collection of historical and personal recollections of Sandbridge through the years. One of my favorite historical items was the
information regarding Lake Tecumseh. The lake was originally named the Salt Lake and then the Fresh Pond. In the 1920s the
lake was named Tecumseh for a Shawnee Indian client of a proposed club, Croatan. According to the book, Lake Tecumseh
may have been fed directly from the ocean by an inlet named “Brinson’s Inlet.” Another nugget is the origin of the Dam Neck
name which has several stories. One of the stories was that a man and wife were walking toward the beach and over a log bridge
to cross the ponds. Leaving his wife behind, the husband was chided by a passerby to give her a hand; whereby the husband
called back for his wife to break her “dam neck.” The greatest thing about folklore is there is always some truth to be found!
So if you’re looking for a coffee table book, some historical recollections and a fantastic collection of pictures and stories this
book would be a great purchase.

Upcoming Events
Joe Takach, one of our neighbors, has agreed to once again coordinate the Lago Mar Gentlemen’s Golf Association Scholarship Tournament. The
proceeds from this event benefit the Lago Mar Scholarship program for graduating High School Seniors residing in Lago Mar. The tournament is in the
early planning stages but is scheduled for sometime in May 2012. There will be sponsorship opportunities for area and resident businesses who would
like to contribute to this worthwhile cause. More information will be provided as the details are finalized. Scholarship applications will be made available
for download from the Lago Mar website and Scholarship Central in January.
Attention: All Graduating High School Students and Parents
Students graduating from High School in 2012 and whose parents are current Lago Mar Civic League members as of December 31, 2011, are eligible to apply for
this year’s scholarship award. Last year five lucky students were the fortunate recipients of a scholarship award. The ability to award multiple scholarships and the value of
those scholarships is completely dependent on the success of our golf tournament, scheduled to be held in May, and the generosity of our sponsors.
Scholarship applications are available for download from the Lago Mar website at www.lagomarcivicleague.com, or through your school’s guidance counselor’s
office. Carefully read the application and follow each of the requirements. Incomplete applications will be omitted from the selection process. Completed applications
must be received by April 20th in order to be considered. Recipients will be notified the first week of May.
The Civic League Executive Board is requesting residents help Joe Takach in his efforts to make this year’s golf tournament a huge success.
Good luck to all.

Seasonal Gardening
The information shared in Seasonal Gardening is designed to accompany you as you dig in the dirt. Whether you grow your own garden,
help cultivate a shared community space, or enliven your mind outdoors, there’s always more to learn from Nature and each other. Throughout
the seasons we hope you enjoy being part and parcel of this luscious earth!
December - “Gifts & Decorations”
Prune your grapevines a little earlier this year to make a classic wreath. If you can’t shape the wreath as you prune, before bending the vines,
soak them in water overnight for increased flexibility.
A miniature herbal wreath can be made by coating a wooden or plastic curtain ring with a generous amount of glue and dipping it in
potpourri to coat it. A tiny bow completes a perfect wreath for a doll house or as a Christmas tree ornament.
For a holiday or housewarming gift, give a garden, nature, or landscape book to a friend with a new home.
Use your microwave to dry flower petals for pot-pours. Spread rose petals in a single layer on a sheet of paper towel, and place in the
microwave along with a cup half full of water. Microwave for one minute on full power. Check them to see if they are dry; if not, give them 10
seconds more and check again.
Gifts from the garden, such as dried flowers, grapevine wreaths, pickles, and preserves, can be very economical but highly prized. You’re
limited only by your imagination.
Door ornaments can be quick and easy to make from evergreen branches. Wrap a stout wire around the butt ends of branches of several
types of evergreens for contrasting color and texture. Then add a large bow to cover the attachment point.
When decorating for the holidays, be sure you do not place fresh, needled evergreens directly on finished furniture or a mantelpiece; use
felt or a tablecloth under them. Sap from branches may take the finish off wooden surfaces.
The use of fruit in wreaths, such as frequently seen in Colonial Williamsburg, was inspired by Luce della Robbia, a 15th century sculptor who
carved garlands of fruit and nuts in his work. For unusual seasonal decorations, attach shiny, red and gold apples to wreaths and garlands. Fruit
can be tied in place using a pliable, 18-weight florist wire that is first inserted through the fruit, then through the straw base. A wooden base with
nails to secure fruit is also used. In cold weather that is above freezing, fruit will last for seven to eight days before it needs replacing (unless the
birds decide to feast on your decor).
Cut poinsettias can last up to ten days in arrangements. Congeal latex immediately after cutting by quickly searing the cut ends, dipping the
ends in boiling water for ten seconds, or soaking the stems in ice water for several minutes.
Gift ideas for the avid indoor gardener: a set of plastic-lined wicker baskets or ceramic cache pots, a stocking filled with houseplant goodies,
or a gift certificate to a favorite plant shop.
The scent of bayberry candles is derived from the Northern bayberry Myrica pensylvanica, a salt-tolerant, semi-evergreen shrub well
adapted to the Tidewater area. A male and female should be planted together to ensure production of the ornamental berries.
To discourage insects from hatching when nuts, cones, and seed pods are brought indoors for holiday arrangements, place them in the oven
on the low setting for an hour.
Some other garden and landscaping materials that can have a role in holiday decorating include cones, sweet gum seed pods, acorns, dried
flowers and gourds, and miniature ears of Indian corn. Dried weed heads, milkweed pods, bittersweet, dried ferns, and even seed pods from
catalpa and locust trees can be used as well.
Use hair spray to keep seed heads and dried flowers intact.
For easy “country candle sticks,” cut five to seven small logs (approximately 2 to 3 inches in diameter) into lengths from 3 to 6 inches. Drill
holes in the log tops the diameter of the candles you plan to use. A collection of these surrounded with pine cones and nuts make an attractive
centerpiece for the holidays.
Be unconventional -- offer perennial divisions, seedlings, and shrub volunteers as gifts to your gardening friends. If you have seed from a
treasured vegetable variety that you know comes back the same year after year, share some with an equally treasured friend. Write I.O.U.s for
perennials that you will be dividing in spring so the recipient can plan ahead for the best location.
Next year, plan to have a special section in your yard or garden for holiday gift-giving. Plant everlastings for wreaths, baskets, and potpourris,
as well as flowers for pressing to create original pictures and stationery. Grow herbs for drying or adding to vinegars or baked goods. Plant luffa
gourds to be given as back scratchers or sponges. Include giant sunflowers and millet sprays for bird-loving friends who will welcome the seeds.
Relatives who live in the city will appreciate canned relishes and preserves.
After Christmas, your tree can be moved outside and redecorated for the birds. Anchor the tree in a bucket full of damp sand, or decorate a
live tree. Leave on strings of popcorn and cranberries, and add strings of peanuts (in the shell). Apples, oranges, leftover breads and cakes, even
peanut butter cookies can be hung on the boughs, but don’t use any foods containing chocolate as it is poisonous to some small animals. For
best results, push the edible ornaments well into the tree. Things that swing might scare birds.
Thanks to Virginia Cooperative Extension for this information. Special appreciation goes to Extension Agent Susan French for her help. For all kinds
of wonderful info visit their web site: www.ext.vt.edu.

Did you know that in Hampton Roads nearly one out of every four homes is under water.
If you’re having trouble keeping up with your mortgage, don’t become a statistic. Your
best option may be a short sale. A short sale is simply selling your home on the open market
with your lender’s approval for less than the mortgage owed.
Why Short Sale?
Requirements:
• Avoid much of the damage on your credit
report that a foreclosure will cause.
• Home must be upside down,
(i.e. higher debt than current market value)
• Sell your home with dignity.
• Seller must have some hardship that can be
documented (loss of job, decrease in income,
illness, etc.)
• You control the transaction, NOT the bank.
• Banks will often settle the debt as “paid in
full for less than the principle balance”
• MUST LIST WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT
(for sale by owner is NOT an option)
SHORT SALES OFTEN FAIL BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW…
To learn more about short sales and other distressed property options call my Direct Line 757-968-HOME (4663)
or visit me online at www.benrego.com. There is no cost and there is no reason not to call.
Don’t become a statistic. Call Hampton Road’s most knowledgeable professional in “short sales.”

Carrying On Elder Traditions
My Nana was a domestic goddess extraordinaire, who designed suits and upholstery cut from her own patterns, and made
homemade hollandaise sauce. When my stepsister and I were about 11, Nana began creating our hope chests. Our brothers
used to tease us calling them “hopeless chests”, but I use almost everything we put in it all those years ago in my own home
today.
The contents of my chest are unique to my relationship with Nana, part practical, whimsical, and legacy: the multicolored
afghan Nana made with ends of yarn, the stainless steel measuring cups and spoons I use every day, pastel towels that my great
grandmother personalized by crocheting lace edges, a miniature ceramic tea set I passed on to my daughter, old family photos,
a 1950’s era diaphanous peignoir set, and the 70’s style floral sheets we use for picnics. Though Nana died when I was 18, the
things she lovingly placed in the chest became part of my house and I feel her in them.
If you like this idea, you might look for an old chest at a thrift store or commandeer the military issue one in the garage.
Choosing the chest, decorating and painting it is part of the fun. Begin looking around your house for little things to pass on
for your child’s future home. Make sure to ask grandparents for their input. Often you’ll spot something inexpensive when you
are shopping together for something else. As you add things through the years, it’s all about the promise of the future…with
continuity and remembrance from your past.
In keeping with family legacies I have this old-world alter ego I like to call Yenta. Yenta is of Western Russian decent, she wears
comfy sweaters, has opinions about everything, and she LOVES root vegetables: fuchsia beets in vinegar mixed with sliced
hardboiled eggs; meaty turnips, piquant rutabaga (don’t you adore the way that word rolls off your tongue?) and the luscious
sweet potato.
They never fail. Simply pair root vegetables with some onions and garlic and you have good medicine: the ultimate comfort
food cure, full of nutrients from our gracious Mother Earth. Note that because they spend so much growing time in the earth you
want to choose organic—like liver is to the body, these tubers tend to be the clearinghouse for toxins and pesticides in the soil.
People might think the rough skins of root vegetables are a lot of work. In fact they cook easily without peeling. And those
skins protect some good minerals and hardy nutrients so why remove them until you need to? Simply scrub, cut in half, and boil.
Slip the skins off before you mash or slice or cube or whatever you do to them.
Smashed Rutabaga
Scrub with a vegetable brush and cut into large chunks. Boil for about 20 minutes with garlic clove (it doesn’t have to be
peeled) until fork tender. While the rutabaga cooks I sauté some chopped red onion in a little grapeseed oil. Slip skins off the
rutabaga and mash in a bowl with a little of the cooking water and a couple of teaspoons of good butter. Add onion, and salt and
pepper to taste. My sister-in-law from England makes a similar delicious mash with half carrot and half turnip minus the onion.
Sweet potatoes are nature’s way of reminding us to enjoy a colorful life. They satisfy a craving for sweets yet they’re so very
good for you! And they are versatile savory or sweet. My daughter Olivia likes her baked sweet potatoes diced and eaten plain.
I love the way Heritage Natural Market’s café roasts sweet potato chunks with rosemary, garlic, and olive oil. Sometimes they
mash and re-stuff with orange juice, cinnamon and honey. I’ve made a phenomenal potato salad with sweet and white potatoes
lightened by yogurt and scallion. Holiday sides might feature baked sweet potatoes with ruby cranberries and roasted pecans.
Sweet Potatoes with Jalapeno Jam
My friend Ali’s jalapeno sweet potatoes are a zesty treat. Jalapeno jam is available in specialty grocery sections and as you
can imagine a little goes a long way. I substituted red chili sauce this time, which also works well as it has a few ingredients such
as vinegar and cane syrup already included. This is based on a Joey Altman recipe from SFGate.com. Serves 4 – 6 people
Pierce with fork and bake or microwave 3 large sweet potatoes until softly firm. Peel and cut into ½ inch chunks. Toss with
1/3-cup red pepper chili sauce or ½ cup melted jalapeno jam until evenly coated. Bake sweet potatoes at 350 degrees in a
glass baking dish for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until the glaze sticks to the potato and thickens. Remove and toss
with 2 tablespoons lime juice and sprinkle with a few tablespoons chopped cilantro. By the way both cilantro and sweet potato
help chelate heavy metals out of the body.

Root Vegetable Soup
Probably the easiest way to begin a soup without meat bones or oil is to loosely follow the first directions for Weight Watcher’s
Garden Vegetable Soup. Spray cooking spray in the non-stick Dutch oven and sauté a couple of stalks chopped celery with its
leaves, a sliced carrot, a chopped onion, and a couple of pressed garlic cloves. Add 4 cups defatted chicken broth or vegetable
broth. From here you deviate based on your choice of root vegetables and spices. Toss in 3 cups of your choice of chunked
roots: parsnips are sweet and woody. If I use turnip I include some chopped greens. Celery root and potato are gentle souls
especially good when you rice them through a hand grater. I like to add pesto or basil, maybe tomato paste, shitake mushrooms,
and cayenne depending on what the day calls for. Simmer until cooked and serve for breakfast, lunch, or anytime you desire a
light meal that is soothing to the gastrointestinal system.
