Letters to the Editor I Disgusted!

As many members of GHI are aware. I have been involved in a long-standing dispure over my ab1hty to have free access around my unit where It abuts a neigh­boring row of homes. Although thts access problem has been the subJect of several board mceungs. mduding most recently a seven­hour marathon session. a recent act of vandalism has demon­strated the inadequacy of the C(>mpromise ··solution'' imposed hy the hoard.

As disgusting as. the act of vandalism was, I am even more repelled by the inaction of GHI staff and Board in the face of this breach of the public peace. The act of vandalism serves to harass and intimidate my family and me and strikes at the heart of the Board·s ruling .governing access between 29 and 3 ( Courts of Ridge Road.

It is not only my family. how­ever, that is threatened. No com­munity can exisc when the rule of law is replaced by a reign of fear. Failure to take mea-.ures against acts of violence by one GHI member today only encourages other members to ·r.esort to vio­lence and incimfdation tomorrow.

The Old CanDadleoa: Footban was Fun

b)'LJ.Pubr WaJchiag the hapless Rcdskins

On television two weeks ago re­minded me of the way football used to be played. I mean hard­hitting defensive football similar to the old Chicago Bears under George Halas or the old Green Bay ·Packers led by Vince Lombardi. Football was a sport played in the rigorous and brac­ing ouldoors. in cold weather, rain and snow.

We had that kind of football here in Greenbelt! ·Back in the fate 40's. I would take my two daughters for a walk on Sunday; one in a c.arriage and the other holding my hand. We ended up iri Braden Field. where a fierce football game was being played. 11le Greenbelt team (I don't re­:member any nicknames like Greenbelt Giants or GopherS ·-or· such) was .playing a team from the National Training School in Bladensburg. composed of delin­quenl or undisciplined students. They were ardent rivals. more thaD the teams from Mt. Rainier and Hyattsville. two other foot­ball opponents.

Oa this Sunday, the -sky was filled wilh large dark clouds. lei­ling the sun shine though in rare intervals. 1bc air smelled of im­niineRt snow. On the field the: two teams were battling as if the

Super Bowl - at stake. Play­ers were Jeavi_ng the field foe a breather. "full of mud and often bloody. Only one figure stood out brightly. in his uniform as game official - Donnie Wolfe. As recreation director. Donnie of­ficiated superbly at these rough" house games. stepping in bravely where tempers flared.

The mayor of Greenbelt, George Bauer; was the father of two of the participants. Boo and Bud. and he paced the sidelines, spurring his sons and team on to victdry.

It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon, in the open fresh air, to watch lhe gladiators fight it out in simple competition. There were no million-dollar salaries. There were no season tickets~ or traffic, or expensive hOI dogs and beer. and no exclu­sive box suites. But there was the glory of Greenbelt at stake.

I don't remember which team won; it doesn't matter. Some­times it"s more important to be involved in the game. without thought of winning or losing.

But I digress. ·Greenbelt had a 'football team. a long time ago. It was part of our community life. And the games were more exciting lhan what passes for football on television nowadays.

Trial Documents Provide Data on Greenbelt Schools

by Mary Moiea A review of documents

·submitted by Prince George's County as evidence in the on­going school desegregation trial has provided interesting information on the status of Greenbelt schools. Data were available school by school for information on the racial b"reakdown of both students and teachers. In addition the percent of teachers with only a provisional certification was shown.

In the last school year. data were provide.d for the size of the student and teacher popu­lations. In the elementary schools. Greenbelt Elementary had 727 sludenls and 47 teachers; Springhill Lake had 794 pupils and 53 lcachers; and Magnolia Elementary had 598 students and 30 teachers. Greenbelt Middle School had ·741 students and 38 teachers. Eleanor Roosevelt High School ·(ERHS), the largest school in· the State. had 303 I stUdents and 158 teaChers.

Student Data During the 1996 school

year. approximately 74% of all students in Prince George's County were black.

·For the "Greenbelt schools, the percentages. were lower, and in some cases qulte • a bit lower. For the elementary schools. the percent_ q.fi black students in Greenbelt Elemen­tary was 57%; in Magnolia -54%; and in Springhill Lake . 69%. For Greenbell Middle School t"he percent black was 70% and al ERHS · 52%. In addition. twp scho9ls f:lad sig­nificant numbers of Asian stu­dents. In Magnolia Elemen­tary. one quar~er of the stu­dents· were Asian, almost twice the percent of students who· were white. At ERHS. sligh1ly more !han 10% of students were Asian.

Teachers In addition to the total

number of .teachers (shown abov.e), there was information

on the percent of teacherS who only have pliovisional teaching certification. Al­though some county schools had as many of 25% of lheir teachers only provisionally certified. the percentages in Greenbelt were much lower: The percentages of. provision­any certified teachers at Greenbelt Elem-entary was II%; Springhill Lake . 9%; Magnolia - 7%; Greenbelt Middle - none; and ERHS -4%.

Data were also available on the racial makeup of the teachers. StatisticS available for 1993 and 1996 show large changes in some schools. In Greenbelt Elementary. the per­centage of black teachers was 18% in 1993 and 24% in 1996; in Springhill Lake -15% and 29%; in Magnolia · 20% and 13%. For Greenhelt Middle .School, the _figures were 30% in 1993 and 52% in 1996 and for ERHS. 19% in both years .

The NAACP (Na!ional As· sociation for the Advaftcemenl of Colored People). the plain­tiff in the trial, has indicated in the trial proceedings that it is very concerned about the numbers and placements of black and non-certified teach­ers, contending that they are clustered in the schools wi"th the la:rgcst percentages of black and poor students.

dustry averages. This adjust­ment wi11 affect only new hires and those who would otherwise have reached the maximum of their salary range.

Board meetings for January through May were scheduled to be held the second and founh Thursdays of these months.

HiStoric District Sta_..s _The board accepted the rec­

ommendation of the Ad Hoc Historic Distfict Study Commit­tee to pursue County Historic District status. Before this ac­tually happens. which could take a year or two, meetings will be held with the member­ship t-o answer questioi-.s and be sure they clearly understand the amplications. of this designati~n. The two major issues are the destgn guidelines, which would supplant the member handhook and affect modif1cations to homes. and ta"' credits for both the cooperative and for indi­vidual memhers.

Because some of lhe original town is no longer pan of GHI. the city will have to give final appro\lal for seeking hisloric district status. The- board and city Council will hold a work session in January {see Separate story).

SateDite Dish Policy The satellite dish policy. in

effect since March. 1995. was reviewed in light of

member's reques1 to install a 27-inch dish, larger than the 24 inches currently approved. The member will be advised to re­ques't an exceptjon to policy and get pe~ission from adjoin­ing neighbors. Changes in tbe policy may be made at a ·later date. depending on the policy the cily may enact.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC} pass~d a rule in August. 1996. that pre­vents homeowners· associations from placlng cenain restrictions on satellite antennas less !than one meter (39 inches) in diam­eter. but exempted properties listed on the National Regisler of His.toric Places. Sjnce Greenbelt has been on the ~Reg­ister since 1980, it was--feh GHI was exempt. Howeve1, c.:loser scrutiny of FCC rules has shown it is considered 1dis­criminatory for associations to restrict antennas/satellite c:ij,Shes but not restrict other "modCm .. structures, such as window air conditiOners. BecaUse GHI does permit the latter, appar­ently satellite dishes one meter in diameter must be allowed as well. The FCC rules do allow associations to control location, means, and methods· of antenna

installation. ~

The Greenbelt Homes Inc. Board of Directors at its Novem­ber 20 meeting gave final ap­proval to the 1998 budget includ­ing a 2.9 percent increase in op­erating charges •. refined the crite­ria for Fee Deferral Program re­certification and worked with the member at 2-A HiiJside Road to­ward a better Solution than a pri­Vacy screen to her landscape

. problem. AI the end of the meet­ing Steven Harper announced his in.tention to resign from the board.(rcported in the last issue of this newspaper).

Fee Deferral The Finance Committee had

been studying the status of the co-opefative 's two fee deferral programs_ 1be first. RLDP (Re· hab Loan Deferral Program) helps members who find it bard to pay the increased costs of rehab. 1be second, FIDP (Fee Increase De­ferral Program), provides an es· cape for those who cannot pay the annual increases in member·s ·chqcs... In each case, the defer­ral is really a loan that is pciid back to the. corporation when the person moves and the house is sold·. Some of ·these loans have grown pretty large, causing con­

. cern to the corporation. The to­tal program now amounts to $550,000 in lo,.ns to members. Also, the costs of fixing up cer­tain of the homes on the deferral program that had been allowed to deteriorate badly have· been sig­nificant. Each year there is a re­cc;nification proced~re for each mem~r on these two plans.

Staff had drawn up three mo­tions establishing tighter controls for recertification. First. Boardmember Chuck Hess moved to abolish Option B and the board unanimously agreed. thus leaving only Option 1\ which can be triggered when more than 25 perCeni of a member's income must go for housing costs: the in­terest whlch accrues is ~et at two percent below the rate Charged hy the National Cooperative Bank for the GHI Rehah Joan: and up­Jl:l.:r income limits are hascd un median family income tlgurcs for the metropolitan area.

Next the board discussed a motion to require participating memberS to remain current in the payment of their co-op fees. Au­dit Comminee member An9y Levin noted that currently seven mC:mbers are more than two months delinquent and would be affected by such a change. Boilrdmember Alan Turnbull pro­posed that the ellecti ve date for · the change should be delayed to March I so people have a chance to adjust before they are already disqualified when they re-certify. Hess thought starting on January I with 60 days to catchup would

do the job. His motion passed. General Manager Gretchen

Overdurff expressed the concern that it has already cost as much as $10,000 to $15. 000 to bring up to r.esale standard the home of ·a member who had been on the deferral program. She sug­gested that requiring interior in­spection would ensure that the house is maintained. There have been instances where the home was allowed to deteriorate so badly that it was dangerous for the occUpant, she added. Levin said the same argument applies to other members. Instead of singling out members because they arc on the deferral program. he suggested, require the inspec­tion to evaluate the home as col­lateral for the loan... Nat Shindennan explained that GHI could not do an internal "ap­praisal;. because ··ours would not agree with a fonnal appraisaL .. Hess suggested using the loan and the need to verify equity to suppon the loan GHI- is giving the member as justifj.cation for interior inspection. He also said ~aybe inspection should be done as a prerequisite for certification. President Keith Jahoda wOndered what happens if a house is found to be in such disrepair lhat the member·s loan from GHI has al­ready exceeded the value of the home. Overdurff suggested that inspection be a prerequisite to certification.

The board discussed what lan­guage should be included, if any. to explain why interior inspection is required for the deferral pro­gram. Overdurff said eventually all homes should be inspected and this is a start. Ste.ve Harper commented that even if a house is iri disrepair the board will still certify the member for participa­tion. The motion passed.

Turnhull then considered •·cash assets" in addition to in­come and Hess wanted to pre­clude certification for false or misleading informatiQn. ! Jahoda (,;autioned hoard member~:. "Limit your motion ro one point, and not a whole Christmas trCc. or we'll never get to .the end of 1t." The ·board unanimously added more criteria: disquali~ aayone who offerS false or mi~lcading in(ormation and require copies of tax returns.· credit reporis on rc­que~l. and that ·no funher home equity loans. be sought hy the member. Andy Levin suggested Showing the changes to GHI's attorney for approval. Shinderman suggri.ed. 'offering members a discou _t to pay off the loans. .

screen, but the board at its last meeting was concerned about the curb appeal. since the house is at one of the entrances to the com­munity. After discussing a num­ber of suggestions, the owner said "I'm just trying to deal with an ugly concrete slab... Harper added, "Orie of your neighbors did refer to it as a landing strip." The member replied .. If GHJ would remove my ·concrete slab, that would solve it." Staff will research possible scenarios. Chuck Hess suggested waiting until the summer to do the job when sidewalk repair brings ap­propriate workman with jack hammers into the area. Board members and Overdurff worried over setting a precedent or in­volving volunteers in potentially dangerous work. .

The original request for a pri­vacy screen was not approved (no second) in order to allow time for studying possible re­moval of the concrete.

Reiki Group Meets The public is invited to a

quiet e\lening of relaxation. meditation. and healing at the Reiki Healing Circle on Friday. December 12, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Greenbelt Commu­nity Center.
