Starr is owned by a nonprofit (thus, it thinks of itself as a charity,) but it only made its first charitable donation...

By reflooding those drained lands, Veta la Palma transformed itself not just into a fish farm, but, somewhat unwittingly, into a refuge for migrating aquatic birds as well. Instead of the 50 bird species that inhabited the area when the farm started, there are now 250, many of them endangered: spoonbills, egrets and those spectacular pink flamingos...

That won't happen, says Sharon Bulova, chairwoman of the Fairfax County board of supervisors. Enough landowners have already detailed their visions and are simply waiting for the official go-ahead in October to start submitting rezoning applications. And if the economy slows...
