Dent Place residents have spent years living with a vacant, deterio-rating house on their Georgetown street. Already considered an eye-sore, the home at 3324 Dent suffered another blow in September 2011 when a falling tree crushed its roof. Neighbors have complained about rats, mosquitoes and break-ins. Rabid raccoons are another recent fear, following a reported attack in the area earlier this year. Developer Deyi Awadallah, who bought the property for $560,000 at a tax sale in May 2012, has promised to address the blight. He won rare approval from the Old Georgetown

Board last fall to raze the 1850s home, with board members conclud-ing that the rotted wooden structure was not salvageable. He said at the

time that he intended to proceed quickly. But the process has been stalled by a “clouded title,” Awadallah said in an interview Monday — the pre-vious owner is trying to reclaim ownership. The next court date is Nov. 20, following several delays. The ownership issue is also hold-ing up planned archaeological inves-tigation of the site, which was home to a freed slave in the early 1800s. The D.C. Department of Con-sumer and Regulatory Affairs has posted a notice at the property giving the owner until Sept. 2 to either repair or raze the house, which is draped with a torn blue plastic tarp but otherwise generally open to the

To the concern of some cycling advocates but the relief of the Metro-politan AME Church community, the latest plans for a cycle track on M Street carve out an exception for the block between 15th and 16th streets.

On that block, the protected cycle track slated to run westbound from Thomas Circle to Georgetown will take a break to become “a standard bike lane,” according to the D.C. Department of Transportation’s Mike Goodno.

Goodno said the design change was made “to meet the needs of all stakeholders best.” An emailed state-ment he forwarded explained in more depth that the original design would have negatively affected the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church, located at 1518 M St. across the street from the planned bike lane.

A buffered bike lane alongside the curb — as the track is designed

on other parts of M — would have hampered the church’s “ability to accommodate special events … along with routine activities,” the agency’s statement says.

The M Street cycle track, which will extend between 14th and 28th streets NW, was envisioned as a companion to the L Street lane that opened last year. Construction is due to start in October after a two-month delay, taking a few weeks to com-plete.

On most blocks of M, plans calls for replacing traditional curbside parking by installing the bike lane right next to the northern sidewalk, including a 3-foot buffer space with

The University of the District of Columbia is preparing to lease up to 15 apartment units for its students in a building across Connecticut Ave-nue from its Van Ness campus. A committee of the school’s board of trustees voted Thursday to authorize the bulk lease in The Con-sulate, 2950 Van Ness St., and the full board is expected to ratify the move Sept. 10. The university already leases 31 units in the Van Ness South building, across Van Ness Street from The Consulate. Master leasing is part of the school’s effort to make its campus more desirable, with student housing being one of the key focuses of a 10-year campus plan the Zoning Commission approved in 2011. The commission granted the school authority to build an on-campus dormitory and lease up to 100 units in total in the area, though it is pro-hibited from expanding further with-in Van Ness South. The university recently surveyed its students and found that about 250

It’s a long punch list, with a lot of holes. Ward 3 D.C. Council member Mary Cheh’s customary August tour of schools has turned up a litany of problems — big and small — in the public schools that serve elementary, middle and high school students in her ward. Complaints include broken toi-lets, shattered windows, peeling paint, loose handrails, and malfunc-

tioning heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Cheh aides identified the most serious problem as an inoperable key system on the parking garage door at Oyster-Adams Bilingual School’s Woodley Park campus, forcing school offi-cials to leave the door open and allowing “random people driving inside the school building.” The garage door was replaced this sum-mer, but the key fobs were not acti-vated, according to an email from Cheh’s staff.

to 300 are seeking housing near the campus, located at Connecticut Ave-nue and Van Ness Street, according to university spokesperson Michael Rogers. “Action by the Board of Trustees Executive Committee is needed to approve leasing of additional units to accommodate students who have expressed an immediate need and

desire to live in close proximity to our campus,” he wrote in an email. “In an effort to accommodate our students, the University’s housing strategy involves a more robust housing referral program, including off-campus housing under master lease arrangements.” No additional master leases are planned “at this time,” according to Rogers, but such arrangements may be less of an interim measure than

originally envisioned. Plans for the dorm are behind schedule, and Rog-ers said “the question of on campus housing is a matter to be determined by the Board of Trustees.” The expansion of master leasing comes while the Forest Hills/Van Ness advisory neighborhood com-mission has filed a complaint that the university is out of compliance with numerous provisions of its campus plan. Several of the commission’s concerns regard student housing. The commission says that despite requirements to the contrary, the school did not provide details of its existing off-campus housing stock; amend its student code of conduct to include off-campus behavior; estab-lish a “good neighbor” education program for off-campus students; establish an outreach program with management companies and tenant associations in buildings where stu-dents are living; or secure referrals from the Metropolitan Police Depart-ment regarding student conduct. “No question about it — there’s noncompliance,” Rogers, the univer-sity spokesperson, said in an inter-

view last month. “All of this predat-ed me and the current president, so we’re trying to figure out who’s responsible for what and what we promised so we can move forward. There’s a general understanding that where there’s noncompliance we need to correct it.” Regarding The Consulate, Rog-ers wrote that the university teaches its students about appropriate off-campus behavior and will have resi-dent advisers on-site. “To insure success of our pro-gram and foster positive community relations, the University’s Office of Residence Life addresses ‘good neighbor’ issues with residential stu-dents through orientation on an ongoing basis,” he wrote. But the resident advisers haven’t always satisfied non-university resi-dents. Complaints from Van Ness South tenants during the campus plan process are the main reason behind today’s limits on off-campus leasing. Residents complained about noise, overcrowded units, rowdiness in the building’s common space, and a smell of marijuana they attributed

to the students. Those problems were there, the residents said, despite the presence of one on-site resident adviser for every 25 students — a ratio that the university’s Valerie Epps described in a 2011 community meeting as “like kindergarten supervision.” Rogers didn’t say how many stu-dents would live in the university-leased apartments at The Consulate, saying only that “the number of stu-dents housed will be compliant with all rules and regulations governing the units.” Under the terms of the campus plan, the university is required to provide 60 days’ notice to the man-agement company and tenants asso-ciation at any apartment building in which it will master-lease students. But because bulk leasing was approved as part of the campus plan, no further community input is need-ed for The Consulate. Neighborhood commission chair Adam Tope said he’s pleased the university took the extra step of noti-fying his commission and, via social media, the general public.

The front plaza of Oyster-Adams Bilin-gual’s middle school building at 2020 19th St. should be fixed up in time for the start of classes next week, according to city officials.

The city started repair work at the historic 1928 building this summer after months of concerns about its crumbling front stairs. The $2 million project includes structural strength-ening of the plaza area, waterproofing, and rebuilding of stairs and walls.

Contractor Turner Construction “will have almost all the work complete before school starts,” D.C. Department of General Services project director Stephen Kitterman wrote in an email to The Current. He said workers are now finishing up with ornamental handrails and landscaping.

Education activist Terry Lynch said he became concerned about the project’s status after visiting the site about a month ago. “I never thought they’d have it done by the start of the school year,” he said. But he said the work kicked into high gear after General Ser-

vices director Brian Hanlon visited the cam-pus. Another impetus has been “having the community’s eyes on the project,” Lynch said.

Some minor aspects of the project will carry into the school year, Kitterman wrote in his email, such as cleaning and replacing some decorative features and installing a school sign.

One factor complicating the work was the failed waterproofing that caused years of unseen damage to the plaza and masonry veneer. Those problems came to light when the General Services Department started repairs

on the visible issue of the crumbling stairs dur-ing the past school year.

Lynch noted that neighbors are eager to see an end to the construction. “The neighbor-hood’s had to put up with significant loss of parking and inconvenience,” he said. “That’s a heavily trafficked street, with residential and [Hilton] hotel use, along with the construction use and barriers.”

The school building serves as one of two campuses of the bilingual school, accommo-dating about 350 students from grades four through eight.

Gary Holder-Winfield was a community activist in New Haven, Conn., who ruffled the political establishment in his fights for clean-er government. When he ran for state legislature there, he says, the typical monied interests were not on his side. Speaking last month at a D.C. Council roundtable on the feasibility of public campaign financing in the District, Holder-Winfield said such a system in Connecticut helped him beat the “machine-backed candi-date.” By collecting enough small donations from individual constitu-ents, he became eligible for state funding to continue his campaign on the same footing as his challenger. Council members David Grosso (at-large) and Kenyan McDuffie (Ward 5) introduced legislation in February to bring a similar system to D.C. Their bill would provide a campaign grant to candidates who raise $5,000 from individuals who each contribute between $5 and $100. Such small grants would also receive a 4-to-1 match from the city — $400 for every $100. Funds would come from a 1 percent sur-charge on city contracts exceeding $1 million per year. Proponents say this system would require candidates to engage directly with voters rather than with deep-pocket interests, encourage more voters to donate because their contributions would be more valu-able, and make it easier for commu-nity-based candidates to win city

elections. Opponents say the program’s cost would undoubtedly be passed along to taxpayers, and they ques-tion whether electioneering is a worthwhile use of public funds. They further worry that the proposal would open the city’s coffers to potentially fraudulent spending. Seven council members co-sponsored the legislation from Grosso and McDuffie — all but Ward 2’s Jack Evans, Ward 4’s Muriel Bowser, Ward 7’s Yvette Alexander and at-large member Vincent Orange. Comments at the four-hour July 11 roundtable in McDuffie’s Com-mittee on Government Operations were overwhelmingly positive. “It allows voices in a substantive way — people who do not come from political families, who don’t come from money — giving them a chance to get into the political sys-tem,” said Holder-Winfield. “Hav-ing a clean election system and affording me the ability to demon-strate my viability as a candidate allowed me to get my message out, and it allowed me to win.” Susan Lerner of the Common Cause advocacy group, which helped draft the D.C. bill, discussed the effects of public campaign financing in New York City. “What we have seen is a refocus-ing of the campaign culture so that we have campaigns going door to door for small-dollar contributor parties that are really worthwhile,” she said. “It’s made a very big dif-ference for New York City, increas-

The March on Washington in 1963 — which will be replicated this week in celebration of its 50th anni-versary — is widely considered to have inspired sweeping changes in the country’s civil and eco-nomic rights. For the District of Columbia, the rally also helped galvanized residents to call for home rule.

“A lot of people don’t know [Martin Luther King Jr.] was quite eloquent in articulating the importance of bringing self-government and autonomy to the District of Columbia,” Mayor Vincent Gray said in a recent news briefing. “He spoke on this issue in Lafayette Park in 1965.”

Historians said residents were also empowered by the passage of the 23rd Amendment in 1961, which gave them the opportunity to vote in the U.S. presi-dential elections starting in 1964. The Home Rule Act in 1973 granted District residents the right to elect a mayor and city council. But many D.C. resi-dents and leaders say much more is needed.

“We need to march again because the work is not complete,” former D.C. Council Chairman Linda Cropp said in an interview. “Everyone came to D.C to hear the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech so that they can dream for the future. Now, they can come back. One place you don’t see the freedom is in Washington, D.C.”

Congress, not city government, still has the final approval on the city’s budget and the right to overturn any legislation, and D.C. has only one member —

non-voting — in Congress. “We still have no voting representation on the Hill

in a nation that applauds democracy throughout the world,” said Cropp. “That lets you know that there’s still work to be done.”

The D.C. government will be hosting a rally Sat-urday to commemorate the march’s anniversary, as well as to advocate for full voting rights in the city. The rally will begin at 8:30 a.m., featuring a march from the D.C. War Memorial to the Lincoln Memorial.

Kimberly Perry, executive director of the nonprofit advoca-cy group DC Vote, said the anni-

versary is an important opportunity to increase awareness of the situation.

“There’s a huge injustice in our backyard,” said Perry. “It’s time to re-commit … and have more [Americans] join the movement.”

Also helping to push that message nationwide is D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, who will be appearing on several national television shows to reflect on her time as one of the staff members who organized the 1963 march. She said she plans to talk about D.C. statehood during her media appearances.

“It’s one of the great mysteries as to why so little is known [about] the denial of rights,” she said. “We’ll use this occasion to educate the public.”

D.C. schools to cover $51 fee for SAT tests D.C. will offer free SAT tests at each of the city’s high schools starting this fall, the mayor’s office announced yesterday. Registration will begin Sept. 4, and the tests will be held Oct. 16 for seniors and Feb. 26 for juniors. The Office of the State Superin-tendent of Education will cover the $51 per-student fee as part of the effort to “ensure that no student is denied the opportunity to apply for a post-secondary education because they did not have access to a college-entrance exam,” accord-ing to the news release. “The SAT is the gateway to col-lege for many students, but too

often the cost is a tremendous bar-rier,” D.C. Public Schools Chan-cellor Kaya Henderson says in the release. “Making the SAT more accessible is great news for our students and their future success.” The program is part of an SAT School Day Initiative that also will provide a year of access to an online course and practice tools.

Insurance contractor reaches MedStar deal One of the city’s largest insur-ance contractors has agreed to pay $8.4 million to two MedStar Health entities, resolving the big-gest claim against the company, according to a news release. Chartered Health insured more

than 100,000 Medicaid clients before being placed into receiver-ship in October by the D.C. Department of Insurance, Securi-ties and Banking. The company will use its own assets to pay the $8.4 million to MedStar Washing-ton Hospital Center and MedStar Georgetown Medical Center. There are other claims against the company that are not in dis-pute, including $9.6 million from MedStar, which will be paid through a $48 million settlement with the District. A court-appointed rehabilitator has sold most of the company’s assets and transferred its clients. A D.C. Superior Court judge must now approve the payments. The next hearing is scheduled for today.

Suspect arrested in two bank robberies Police last week arrested North-east D.C. resident Clyde Rattler, 55, in connection with two bank robberies downtown earlier this month. On Aug. 2 at around 10 a.m., a lone man entered the United Bank in the 1600 block of K Street, approached a teller, demanded money and said he had a weapon, according to a Metropolitan Police Department news release. Later that day, the suspect alleg-edly robbed the TD Bank in the 1000 block of 15th Street, again fleeing with an undetermined amount of money, police said.

Doctorow to kick off Jewish literary fest The Washington D.C. Jewish Community Center’s annual liter-

ary festival will kick off this fall with novelist E.L. Doctorow and conclude with Rep. Debbie Was-serman Schultz, D-Fla. In opening night remarks, Doc-torow will provide a preview of his forthcoming book, “Andrew’s Brain.” The author of 10 novels, Doctorow has won the National Book Award and twice been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee, will close out the festival with a talk about her book “For the Next Generation: A Wake-Up Call to Solving Our Nation’s Problems.” Other speakers slated for the Hyman S. & Freda Bernstein Jew-ish Literary Festival from Oct. 6 through 16 include columnist and gay rights activist Dan Savage and mystery novelist Walter Mosley. The lineup will also include a free Local Author Fair on Oct. 13. Most events will take place at the Washington D.C. Jewish Com-munity Center, 1529 16th St. NW, but Savage will speak at the Foundry United Methodist Church nearby and the Doctorow talk will be held at the Montgomery Col-lege Cultural Arts Center in Silver Spring. A full schedule and ticket infor-mation are available at washing-tondcjcc.org/litfest.

Kalorama group calls for no height change Another group has weighed in on possible alterations to the feder-al law governing building heights in D.C., with the Kalorama Citi-zens Association voting over-whelmingly to oppose a change. President Denis James said a presentation by the city’s Office of Planning about relaxing the Height Act — which limits buildings based on the width of the streets

on which they sit — was “insult-ing,” as it did not point out how the changes might affect neighbor-hood residents. The presentations, he said, showed what would happen from a bird’s-eye view — not from within a neighborhood. James said any change in height limitations should be done through the D.C. Comprehensive Plan and approved by the D.C. Council, not by the federal government. The association voted 15-0, with one abstention, to oppose a change in the law.

District seeks help for new street trees The D.C. Department of Trans-portation is asking residents and businesses to adopt recently plant-ed street trees to help ensure their survival. The agency will deliver free watering bags for every young tree — planted in the last three years — adopted through the “Canopy Keepers” program. The Gatorbags wrap around the base of the trees, and volunteers must fill them with 20 to 25 gallons of water per week, which slowly drips into and moist-ens the soil. The Transportation Department is also watering the 7,000 trees it planted this year twice a month when the weather is dry. To adopt a tree, visit ddot.dc.gov/canopykeepers, call 311 or write to DDOT Urban Forestry Administration Attn: Ian Leahy, 55 M St. SE Suite 400, Washington, DC 20003.

Grants available for some historic areas Low- and moderate-income homeowners in certain city historic districts may apply to the city now through Oct. 1 for grants of up to $25,000 for exterior repairs, reha-bilitation and structural work. In Northwest, the qualifying historic districts are Blagden Alley/Naylor Court, Fourteenth Street, Mount Pleasant, Mount Vernon Square, Mount Vernon Triangle, Strivers’ Section, Takoma Park and U Street. The application — the first in a two-step process — requires pho-tos of the home and a description of work planned. Details of the program and the application are available at tinyurl.com/hpo-grants. Eligible applicants will receive a Part II application, which involves getting proposals from general contractors and submitting complete household financial information. The deadline for Part II is Feb. 10.

Local newspaper coverage and photos of the 1963 March on Washington will be fea-tured at a free panel discussion hosted by the Historical Society of Washington, D.C., next week to commemorate the rally’s 50th anni-versary.

The panel will include Eric Kulberg, a documentary producer who took photos of the march while he was a freshman at American University; Derek Gray, a community archi-vist at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library; and Jennifer Krafchik of the historical

society. The event will take place Tuesday at 7 p.m.

Krafchik said the event’s moderator, Kris-sah Thompson of The Washington Post, and her research on Kulberg’s photographs helped inspire the event. The photos were also on display at the society’s headquarters during the march’s 45th anniversary.

Krafchik and Gray recently co-wrote an article on the 1963 march’s local press cover-age for the recent issue of the historical soci-ety’s journal, called Washington History.

“The idea came together from there,” Kraf-chik wrote in an email.

In researching their article, Krafchik and

Gray found that much of the success of the march was due to organizers’ work in ensuring that a peaceful and safe event will take place.

Those efforts ensured “that the fears of disorder that played out in the weeks and days leading up to the March were unfounded, thereby producing a positive image of the civil rights movement,” Krafchik added.

Gray, who manages Washingtoniana, the public library’s special collections division about D.C. history, said he’ll be detailing how he conducted his research for the article at the discussion.

“A lot of the material that we came across were scrapbook newspaper clippings that the

librarians compiled here in the 1960s and put in a nice scrapbook,” he said. He listed The Washington Afro-American, The Evening Star, The Washington Post and The Washing-ton Daily News, noting that editorials also “showed what position these newspapers took in endorsing the march.”

One of the “interesting tidbits” Gray dis-covered was that there was some diversity among those positions. “The Evening Star, a relatively conservative paper … didn’t support the march,” he said.

Kulberg’s photo essay will also be on dis-play at the society’s headquarters, located at 801 K St. NW, from Aug. 21 through 30.

Historical society panel to examine 1963 coverage of March on Washington

Current Staff Report The Glover Park Citizens Asso-ciation joined a protest against JP’s liquor license last week, voting over-whelmingly to oppose planned new performance spaces at the 2412 Wis-consin Ave. strip club. JP’s, which just reopened in June, hopes to use three tabletop dancing platforms and two semi-private alcoves. JP’s had been closed since a 2008 fire, and this year its new own-ers received the necessary city approvals to reopen — over the objections of the advisory neighbor-hood commission and many resi-dents. However, the neighborhood commission successfully petitioned the D.C. Alcoholic Beverage Board to treat the new performance spaces as a “substantial change” that requires its own public hearing. The board has scheduled a hearing this fall, but until then its June 19 deci-sion has blocked JP’s from allowing “the bottle service tables to double as dance tables.” The neighborhood commission officially protested the substantial change request last month, and the Glover Park Citizens Association signed on Aug. 13. At the association’s meeting that night, Paul Kadlick, a representative for JP’s, said owners “feel very con-fident” that the alcohol board will ultimately find that the changes don’t represent a substantial change in the club’s operations and that the establishment has not “adversely affected the community.” Kadlick added that city zoning authorities had told the club that the change was not “substantial.” He also said that since JP’s reopened, the club has had seven inspections and “we don’t have a citation or a violation” of any regula-tions. Neighborhood commissioner Jackie Blumenthal told citizens association members that Kadlick’s remarks were “foolish on their face.” The major difference is that before, performances at JP’s were all on a stage. The new approach, she said, “is a wholly different way of doing business.” Both the neighborhood commis-

sion and the citizens association are asking the city to limit JP’s to the two stages it had before the fire and renovation. Ben Zanganeh, the owner of Good Guys, a nearby strip club at 2311 Wisconsin Ave. that has oper-ated since 1960, urged the citizens association to oppose the new per-formance areas at JP’s. “The new JP’s is not the old JP’s,” he said. “They make money by a customer’s asking a girl to dance for him. Nude dancing is legal, but using nude dancing as a cover to do other things is not.” Kadlick said Zanganeh was a business competitor who made “erroneous representations.” Kadlick said JP’s “offers live entertainment and is essentially a gentleman’s club.” It is heavily secu-ritized, he said, with everyone’s IDs checked at the front door. He added that the alcoves would not offer visual privacy to custom-ers, but merely allow private conver-sation. These alcoves would comply with the relevant laws — that danc-ers must perform on platforms at least 18 inches off the floor, with a 3-foot distance between them and customers. “Private dancing on tables is legal,” Kadlick said. JP’s would sell use of the alcoves in three-minute intervals, he said. Citizens association members voted 25-1 to join the neighborhood commission in protesting the sub-stantial change. The one vote of opposition came from Erik Metz, who said the own-ers of JP’s have spent a great deal of money fixing up the establishment and argued that it would be inappro-priate to change the rules in mid-stream.

In need of first aid You know things are bad when your city is compared to Detroit. D.C. isn’t filing for bankruptcy, but one expert says our emergency medical ser-vices system is as bad as that of the cash-strapped Michigan city. Detroit’s system “is in dire straits too, but it has no money,” Lori Moore-Merrell, assistant to the general president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, told The Associated Press in an Aug. 15 article. She said the District has “one of the worst EMS systems in the country.” Clearly, the problems of the combined D.C. Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department have reached a crisis level. The fires in two on-duty ambulances this past week only drew additional needed attention to the severe shortage of equipment and paramedics. On staffing, the AP’s Ben Nuckols reports that the city has lost 40 para-medics since 2011 and hired only two (though the department says more are coming on board soon). The news wire says most cities with a similar call volume — 130,000 calls in 2011 — have two to three times as many para-medics as we do. Of the department’s 1,800 employees, only about 200 are highly trained paramedics (as compared to less-skilled emergency medical technicians). In terms of equipment, the department chief testified in March that fewer than half of the city’s ambulances were in service. So many vehicles have been inoperable that officials called private firms to staff Nationals games. Maintenance is part of the problem. Broken air conditioners have halted at least 22 ambulances this summer — with four fixed by street signs stuck in the engines to serve as heat shields. And in early August, a unit dispatched to the White House — where it was to accompany the president’s motorcade — ran out of gas, reportedly because of a broken gauge. What’s behind all of this dysfunction? Blame has been cast in a few directions: at chief Kenneth Ellerbe; at past chief Dennis Rubin; at the union, which has balked at recent proposed staffing changes; at the rank and file, with a deputy mayor insinuating the recent fires may have been sabotage. Whatever the cause for the problems, a fix is needed. It might be big, like separating the firefighting and medical components into separate agencies. It might be smaller, like a renewed focus on hiring and equipment purchases. Either way, we think the D.C. Council should step in, establishing a special committee to sort out all of the issues and suggest solutions. In order to min-imize political complications and maximize the prospect of consensus, the chair should not be any of the three legislators running for mayor.

A customized model Hard work and flexibility have contributed to a win for anyone who appreciates Georgetown’s historic character — and have helped hone a mechanism that can help protect other D.C. neighborhoods as well. Thanks to a neighborhood-led effort, residential Georgetown will likely have its own zone in the city’s updated land-use code. As city officials worked on a major update to the zoning rules, Georgetowners proposed tweaks to help protect their neighborhood’s charm. Recently, the Office of Planning accepted nearly all details of the proposal into the agency’s overall draft rewrite, which now awaits review by the Zoning Commission. “I think we feel that Georgetown runs very well, and that the way that the community grows and changes is by and large positive,” Citizens Associa-tion of Georgetown president Pamla Moore has told The Current, “so we want to be comfortable that much of what exists now will continue.” Assuming the Zoning Commission passes the new code, the “George-town Residential House” zones would feature lower height limits than other parts of the city. The rules would make it harder for residents of single-fami-ly homes to build accessory buildings and apartments and for businesses to open in residential areas. Altered homes could be no closer to the street than their neighbors, and no new roof decks would be allowed. According to the Office of Planning’s draft, Georgetown isn’t the only neighborhood that could have its own zone: The possibility for more locally focused rules is written into the document. We hope that isn’t an empty pledge. While Georgetown’s character is appreciated far and wide — the city even benefits financially from the tourists it draws — the neighborhood’s appeal is most beneficial to its residents. So it will be important for city offi-cials to allow other neighborhoods to pursue custom-made policies, too. We’d like to congratulate the Citizens Association of Georgetown, which led the effort, for all its work in bringing this new zone to fruition. Mucking through the paperwork involved in this code rewrite — and deciphering the details well enough to offer changes — is no small task. Other neighbor-hoods should be grateful that the groundwork has been laid.

It was just a great event Monday when city lead-ers opened the new, $125 million Dunbar High School near North Capitol Street and New York

Avenue.It’s an airy, glass-and-brick building with soaring

ceilings, a new pool and gymnasium, and state-of-the-art classrooms.

Principal Stephen Jackson was almost beside him-self with the new school. He managed as best he could in the old, 1970s-era Dunbar next door. In a word, it was a “pris-on.” It stifled the aca-demic interest of nearly any student or teacher.

“You couldn’t learn in there!” Jackson told NBC4. The building was almost windowless, shut off from the community and easily mistaken for a correctional facility. (It shared that horrible resemblance with H.D. Woodson High School in Northeast. There’s a new school there, too.)

Dunbar has a storied history back to 1870 and connections with the first high school for African-Americans. It has a long list of celebrated graduates.

Over the past decade, the District has spent about $2 billion remaking or rebuilding nearly every school in the city. Yes, there have been delays in some neighborhoods, including parts of Northwest. But it has been a remarkable achievement overall, and Dunbar is now positioned again to give students a heads-up on academics.

“They can all be proud,” said Mayor Vincent Gray, Dunbar Class of 1959.■ Tony for Jack? Former Mayor Tony Williams hasn’t formally endorsed anyone for mayor, but he has come pretty close.

Mayor Williams, the head of the Federal City Council business group, introduced Ward 2 D.C. Council member Jack Evans at an impressive Aug. 9 fundraiser on Nantucket hosted by longtime fundrais-er Max Berry. The take? $40,000.

In his comments, Williams said that Evans should be credited with a major role in the city’s economic rebound from its near-bankruptcy days of the 1990s.

Evans told the Notebook that he appreciated the mayor’s kind words and wants the whole city to do well economically should he become mayor.

The Washington Post report said the former may-or’s remarks were notable because Williams has refrained from elective politics as head of the Federal City Council.■ Gov. McDonnell and Mayor Gray. Across the Potomac, Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell is having a terrible year with his gifts scandal and monies he and his wife received from a state businessman. The Washington Post had a chilling sentence or two in its latest story, sentences that might make Mayor Gray

wince upon reading.On the timing of the U.S. attorney’s criminal

investigation of the McDonnells, The Post wrote: “First, prosecutors generally wish to move as quickly as possible if they think there is evidence of criminal actions by a sitting, still powerful elected official.

“Second, Justice Department guidelines discour-age prosecutors from taking action during an election season to avoid the perception that they are trying to

influence the outcome.”Mayor Gray is fast

approaching (if not already in) his election season even as his crim-inal probe hangs over his head.

Just saying.In Virginia, the speculation is that prosecutors

may act by Labor Day rather than interfere with the hot gubernatorial race between Republican Ken Cuc-cinelli and Democrat Terry McAuliffe. Cuccinelli has received gifts from the same benefactor, and it’s hurt-ing his otherwise strong campaign for governor.

And while we’re on that campaign, here’s what veteran Richmond journalist Jeff Schapiro wrote most recently in The Richmond Times-Dispatch:

“It comes down to the enthusiasm gap.“McAuliffe can close it by driving up turnout with

a broad-brush spiel that resonates in the dense, diverse suburbs where Democrats are ascendant. Cuccinelli can capitalize on it by driving down turn-out with a narrow missive aimed at the small pools of energetic movement-type voters who dominate the GOP.

“Purple Virginia breaks blue when lots of people vote. Turnouts north of 70 percent comfortably tipped the state twice to Barack Obama. Virginia reverts red when turnout falls to around 40 percent, as it did when Gov. Bob McDonnell led a Republi-can landslide one year after Obama’s win. Republi-can voters not only showed up, they did so with gusto.

“Even Democrats concede the Republican advan-tage on fervency.”

If you want updates on that Old Dominion race, follow Schapiro on Twitter at @RTDSchapiro.■ Final word. The 50th anniversary March on Wash-ington for Jobs and Justice is this Saturday. There’s lots being written and said about both the progress and lack of progress in civil rights. But if you want to view a little history, tune into NBC4 on Sunday at 10 a.m. NBC is planning to run in its entirety the 1963 “Meet the Press” program on which the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. appeared before the big march. The NAACP’s Roy Wilkins also is on the show.

City should protect at-home weddings Ten years ago my husband and I were honored to host our niece’s wedding reception in our garden on Davenport Street. Two weeks before the wedding we had a cocktail party for our surrounding neighbors to alert them of the upcoming event and thank them for their forbearance on this joy-ous occasion. We also distributed fliers to a wider area, specifically notifying neighbors that the music would stop at 11:30 p.m. At 11:10 on the Saturday of the wedding, the police arrived and ordered us to stop the music immediately. On a recent Saturday, my

daughter’s best friend had a home wedding reception on Albemarle Street. All the neighbors, the Met-ropolitan Police Department’s 2nd District and the Secret Service officer in the neighborhood were notified. This time the police arrived at 10:15 and shut the music down. The hosts were told that if the noise continued, they would be given a $250 citation. The police parked across the street for a half hour. I believe the band played six numbers. I have three marriage-age chil-dren and hope that one or more of them will be married at home. Home is a unique and especially meaningful environment for most people. It is certain, however, that I will never risk the time or expense — nor will I ask family and friends to join us from across the country or from abroad —

without some assurance that the event will not be interrupted. How can one protect oneself from this happening again? According to the police, anyone can call after 10 p.m. to make a noise complaint and the police are forced to act upon it. I propose the D.C. Council allow citizens to apply for a permit to hold a wed-ding or similar event at their home and extend the noise curfew there to 11 p.m., at least, on a Saturday. We personally have the best neighbors one could ever imagine. I wish everyone were as accom-modating. I urge the D.C. Council to look into this matter and act appropriately. The ability to make memories of a lifetime in one’s own home should not depend on “the kindness of strangers.”

D.C. alley closing was a giveaway to GWU When George Washington Uni-versity asked to close a public alley to adjoin three residence halls with the infill of this public land, the Foggy Bottom/West End advisory neighborhood commission support-ed the request but asked the univer-sity to compensate the District for the loss of this valuable land. It remains the commission’s position that nearly $3 million of land is too much to give away to the university free of charge. On matters of this sort, it is cus-tomary for the D.C. Council to defer to the ward council member. Ward 2 Council member Jack Evans assured our commission that he would support our position on conditioning this public alley clo-sure, but he flip-flopped when pres-sured by the university. One has to wonder why Evans, who frequently professes his interest in negotiating major deals with developers in big citywide projects such as the Veri-zon Center and Nationals Park, would meddle with something so minute. So we asked him. In a sad

testament to the troubles with ethics in D.C. politics, Evans confessed that he needed the George Washing-ton University’s support for his mayoral campaign. Who knew that the George Washington University had the power to pressure the D.C. Council into squandering $2.8 million? Although Council member Evans did not do anything illegal, the question is whether it was ethical. The public alley closure process gives great discretion to the D.C. Council, and particularly the ward member, on whether to seek pay-ment or give away District property free of charge. The closure process needs closer examination and reform, so that fewer council mem-bers will be tempted to misuse or give the perception that they are abusing their power. According to the Office of the D.C. Surveyor, the value of this public land giveaway is more than $2.8 million. Additionally, The Current’s July 31 editorial stated that the Zoning Commission also refused the Foggy Bottom/West End commission’s request for the District to be appro-priately compensated for this parcel. This is inaccurate. Although the Zoning Commission has approved the project as a planned-unit devel-

opment, it has no authority to close a public alley. That authority rests solely with the D.C. Council, which abused that power in this particular case.

Manager pay clouds ‘living wage’ debate This is in reference to the letter by Steven Restivo of Walmart [“Walmart employees value their positions,” Aug. 7]. My understanding of the Dis-trict’s Large Retailer Accountability Act is that it attempts to address the minimum wage paid by big-box stores. By citing the average pay of Walmart’s management and their highest earning store manager, Mr. Restivo diverts our attention from the real issue and concern: namely, the pay for the vast bulk of Walmart’s employees, who are non-management and will remain non-management. The concern is whether Walmart associates will earn a “living wage” in Washington, D.C., so that indi-viduals are less dependent on the government.

Washington, D.C., Restaurant Week is an opportunity to showcase the best our famed restaurants have to offer, but what guests

don’t often see is the worst of what D.C. restaurants have to offer — the lack of paid sick days for restaurant workers. As students, co-workers and friends look forward to trying out new restaurants or returning to their favorite dinner spot during Restaurant Week, they are unaware that their health could be at risk. Most people employed in restaurants in the District are not granted paid sick days. Restaurant work is often some of the lowest paid, and as a result many workers cannot afford to take a day off to recover — and so they risk spreading illnesses like the flu, pneumonia or worse to co-workers and customers. That’s why we have joined the Paid Sick Days Cam-paign (paidsickdaysforall.org) and why we offer all of our employees paid sick days. As small-business own-ers, we know that there are no excuses for failing to provide this basic right to people we work alongside every day. In 2008, D.C. passed a law requiring all businesses in the District — except for restaurants — to offer paid sick days to their employees. Lobbying groups like the DC Chamber of Commerce argued that the law would cripple the ability of D.C.’s businesses to function and would halt growth in the city. The sky never fell, and a recent audit of the law found that it has been a great success — a boon to both workers and businesses. And we now need the restaurant industry to follow suit. We have the firsthand experience to know that offer-ing good wages, in addition to paid sick days, is one of the best business decisions a small local restaurant can

make. Our workers are happier and more invested in their work because they know that they have the securi-ty to take a day off if they are ill — and that they do not have to worry about paying their rent, buying groceries or affording day care because they contract bronchitis. In an industry that has a notoriously high turnover rate, restaurants that invest in their employees and actu-ally provide them with paid sick days have dishwash-ers, bussers and line cooks who have worked there for years. Each time a worker quits, it costs money to train a new employee. There are also costs when a restau-rant’s staff has low morale, which is often passed on to the customer. As local businesses, we know that our place in the community is often dependent on setting a good exam-ple for other businesses to follow. The people we work with every day are like family, and we can’t imagine denying them the ability to recover from an illness. Similarly, the customers in our neighborhoods return because they know we are responsible business owners. They value the way we treat the people we work with and are invested in going to restaurants that value their employees and the community around them. As we look forward to a successful restaurant week in the city we call home, we can’t help but think of the workers who are forced to work while sick. There is no reason to discriminate against restaurant workers by excluding them from the law. They pay taxes, work hard and frequent local businesses as well. In fact, the public health risk is perhaps most acute in this industry. So the next time you dine out, ask the wait staff if they know about the paid sick days movement. If they do, congratulate them. If not, tell them to get involved. Paid sick days should be afforded to all workers in D.C. There are no more excuses; it’s just good business. Roger Horowitz is co-owner of Pleasant Pops, Andy Shallal is owner of Busboys and Poets, and Furard Tate is co-owner of Inspire BBQ.

Athletics in northwest wAshington August 21, 2013 ■ Page 9

By BRIAN KAPURCurrent Staff Writer

After being knocked out of the Washington Catholic Athletic Con-ference playoffs by eventual cham-pion Good Counsel last November, St. John’s comes into this season with high hopes. “We have a new motto: Get on board. We’re just coming out here and grinding,” said quarterback Will Ulmer. “I want to win a championship,” he continued. “When you have talent and hard work, it’s hard to beat that.” The ambitions of St. John’s appeared justified last weekend in a strong showing against Baltimore powerhouse Gilman. The Cadets’ first and second teams combined to outscore the Greyhounds three touchdowns to two. It was a big turnaround for the Cadets, who have struggled in recent years against Gil-man in the annual scrimmage. “The past few years they’ve put a whupping on us,” said senior corner Denzel Dykes. “We knew we had to come out here and get physical.” The Cadets showed their offen-sive weapons in racking up the three scores. Ulmer tossed a touchdown pass, and then junior running back Omar Garcia took a kickoff back for a score. When the reserves came in, senior quarterback Billy McCaffrey found junior wideout Ayron Monroe for another score. It was a good outing for St. John’s, which will depend on Ulmer, a dual-threat quarterback, to lead the offense this season. The senior, who earlier this summer committed to play for the University of Maryland at College Park, led the team with 1,342 rushing yards and 1,163 pass-ing yards while combining for 25

touchdowns last year. Ulmer has always had great run-ning ability, and he focused on his arm this summer. His improvements were evident Saturday, when he threw well and completed a touch-down pass to junior receiver Scotty Washington on a rollout play. “I was completing most of my passes,” said Ulmer. “I’m just trying to boost my passing rating and keep running the same way that I do. Run-ning isn’t an issue, and I’m trying to make throwing not an issue, too.” Ulmer is complemented by Gar-cia in the backfield. The junior rush-er keeps defenses off balance with his strong rushing. “It’s great. Omar is a great play-er,” said Ulmer. “He’s very explo-sive. ... I love to have him in the backfield with me.” The Cadets were just as effective on defense, gang-tackling the oppo-sition while also jarring the ball loose with hard hitting. “We want to attack like pira-nhas,” said Dykes. “If we swarm, we know we can hopefully get the ball.” On Saturday the Greyhounds

scored on a kickoff return, which caught the Cadets off guard and grabbed coach Joe Patterson’s atten-tion. “This is the first time that we did special teams, and we were a bit ragged,” Patterson said. “We have to tune some things up.” The unit did make up for the miscue by blocking a field goal later in the session. Despite the issues on special teams, the coach was pleased with the team’s overall performance. “With the final scrimmage you want to see physicality and see them execute. I think they did both of those,” he said. “It’s always a great last scrimmage because they play our conference tight every year. They’re a very good team. It’s a great so-called tuneup.” With the Cadets’ season opening against Baltimore power Calvert Hall scheduled for Saturday at St. John’s, the team appears to be all aboard. “With this group of guys we can definitely get to the championship and win it,” said senior cornerback Devin Williams.

Cadets are all ‘on board’ for this season

Brian Kapur/The CurrentThe Cadets will be led by dual-threat quarterback Will Ulmer, above, who committed to the University of Maryland at College Park earlier this summer. Running back Omar Garcia, right center, will provide the team with a physical rushing attack this season.

Wilson senior to golf at Pebble Beach tournament next month Rising Wilson junior Lennard Long will compete in the 2013 Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach, Calif., Sept. 27 through 29. The event will be televised on the Golf Channel. “Lennard has been a dedicated participant in our Chapter for nearly four years now and we could not be happier for him or more proud of him,” Clint Sanchez, executive director of The First Tee of Washington, D.C., says in a news release. “He set a per-sonal goal of competing in this event two years ago and it does wonders for his growth to see this goal reached.” A national panel of judges selected Long and 80 other participants from First Tee chap-ters across the country.

The Pebble Beach tournament is just one of several in which Long competes. He also recently captured a win at the 2012 Mid-Atlantic PGA Chantilly National Golf Club Classic. Long and the other juniors will team up with 81 Champions Tour players and 162 amateurs as they vie for the pro-junior title at Pebble Beach Golf Links and Del Monte Golf Course. “The opportunity to play in The Nature Valley First Tee Open is a dream come true,” Long says in the release. “To play with pros and meet some of the legends of golf is some-thing I will never forget. I am grateful to The First Tee and look forward to the experience of playing Pebble Beach and being where so much history has been made.”

Cathedral pitching ace earns softball player of the year honors Sarah Ing, a rising senior at National

Cathedral, was named the District’s Gatorade softball player of the year earlier this summer for the second straight season. “Sarah is a jewel to coach and always put the team above herself,” National Cathedral School coach Dave Langley says in a news release about the award. “She never has an unkind word for a teammate and always encourages them. Sarah is extremely coach-able and never fails to ask for extra work. She craves to be the best she can be.” The award is given for both athletic prow-ess and success in the classroom. Ing was Cathedral’s pitching ace as the squad went 15-1 and captured the Indepen-dent School League banner and D.C. City championships. The rising senior was the winning pitcher in all 15 of the Eagles’ victories. She posted an impressive .44 ERA and rung up 131 strikeouts. Ing was just as dangerous with a bat — she batted an impressive .585 percent-

age; launched 31 runs; and racked up 18 steals, 13 RBIs and 15 extra base hits. Past winners include several local alumni: Maret’s Caroline Sealander, Visitation’s Christina Clark and Cathedral’s Alie Kolbe.

Federal-style houses character-ize much of the architecture in Georgetown. Lining the

streets of the historic neighborhood,

these box-shaped brick edifices come in all sizes and colors.

A rare find, however, is a com-pact Federal home elegantly reno-vated to squeeze out as much space as its 1,242 square feet can offer on three levels. This two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath row house on 1238 29th St. is on the market for $1,025,000.

Built in the early 1900s, the home is on a tree-lined street steps from the bustling M Street commer-cial district. A 2006 renovation added modern features such as recessed lighting throughout the property. But the project also retained the home’s classic allure with updated crown moldings, chair railings, golden brass details and one-of-a-kind architectural details.

The first floor immediately shows that this house doesn’t let any space go to waste. The front door enters directly into a cozy space ready to be used as a den or study, with built-in floor-to-ceiling bookcases on each side of the room.

French doors lead to a charming living room. Its modern elegance is enhanced by walls adorned with decorative moldings and chair rail-ings. Wooden floors, believed to be part of the original home, augment the timeless appeal. Their grain highlights the different decorative patterns on each plank.

The modern touches in this room include a wood-burning fire-place updated with a black marble frame and hearth. Electrical and cable outlets are above the mantle, hinting at a niche that can accom-modate an entertainment center. For now, a painting hides these jacks.

Brightening this area are a south-side window and another set of French doors. Taking over much of the west end of this floor, the doors open to a Juliet balcony overlook-ing the red-brick patio.

Another element of the home thought to be original is its wooden staircase, which was more recently updated with railings and side carved designs.

Up these stairs, to the top level, are two bedrooms, a full bath and deep-shelved storage closet. Double crown molding can be found throughout the level.

The smaller bedroom is uniquely furnished with a double Murphy bed next to the windows. It’s fash-ionably hidden behind a white-pan-

eled base that matches the door to the custom-built slim closet space. With its versatility, this room could function as either an office or a per-manent or guest bedroom.

Across the hallway is the master bedroom, with three windows fac-ing the patio. Taking up most of the south side of the room, custom-built closets represent another space-maximizing feature of the house. The closet nearest the door uses the dead space outside the room, offer-ing many opportunities for storage.

The full bathroom here features a large limestone spa-worthy show-er with a bench, high-end fixtures, a body spray and six showerheads. It also has a skylight window and more built-in cabinetry, while its double doors show off another example of space efficiency.

The lower level includes the din-

ing area and gourmet kitchen — equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances, granite counter-tops, and an attractive deep porce-lain sink. The cabinets offer plenty of room for storage, as well as a warm rustic tone set by their pur-posely faded paint. Adding to the hospitable ambiance is a brick wood-burning fireplace with a man-tel and painted brick floors, which are thought to be part of the original home.

French doors expand out to a broad two-level patio, which would allow an abundant flow of guests to stream in and out of potential out-door parties. A high wooden fence

makes this a very private space. While the home’s interior receives ample sunlight, this outdoor area gets plenty of shade from the large neighboring magnolia tree.

Farther back in the lower level is another deep closet space, a small granite wet bar with a deep stainless steel sink, and a half bath. Skillfully hidden by a double set of doors on the other side are laundry and utility spaces.

This two-bedroom, one-and-a half-bath house at 1238 29th St. is offered for $1,025,000. For details contact Tad Stewart of TTR Sothe-by’s International Realty at 202-431-5856 or tstewart@ttrsir.com.

At the commission’s Aug. 14 meeting: ■ Ward 4 D.C. Council member Muriel Bowser swore in Janell Raw-lings as the new commissioner for single-member district 4C10. The Raymond Recreation Center at 10th Street and Spring Road now has updated tennis and basketball courts, a new baseball field and an outdoor picnic pavilion, Bowser reported. Bowser also reported that con-struction of the Walmart at Georgia and Missouri avenues should be completed in October or November, opening in late 2013 or early 2014. She expressed concern about the possibility of legislation that would raise the minimum wage at Walmart and some other large retailers to $12.50 an hour, which was passed by the council but may face a veto. ■ Brenden Woodley, a project man-ager for PERS Development, said his firm plans to start work in Octo-ber on a six-story, 31-unit condo-minium building at Shepherd Street and Georgia Avenue. Woodley was unsure whether the project would require any special zoning permis-sion and whether the structure would include designated affordable units. Commission chair Janet Myers sug-gested he return when he has more answers. Commissioner Van Di Gal-

loway said he would have a single-member district meeting with Wood-ley to discuss the project.■ commissioner Rickey Williams reported that Herman’s Liquors at 3712 14th St. is requesting special permission to sell single cans and bottles of high-end beers.

Commis-sioner Zach Hartman said Upshur is designed for more traffic than Var-num or Webster streets.

Chevy Chase Citizens Association Lafayette Elementary School, the main public school in our asso-ciation’s area, opens its doors Monday for the 2013-2014 school year. The expected enrollment is 700, including four pre-kindergarten classes, a total about the same as last year’s. The school is at Broad Branch Road and Northampton Street. This year, Lafayette is adding another third-grade class, and the school is welcoming several new teachers, including a new music teacher. The much anticipated class-assignment lists were due to be posted today on the school doors and on the Home and School Asso-ciation’s website, lafayettehsa.org. Other upcoming events to note include a pre-K and kindergarten open house and teacher welcome lunch this Friday, Aug. 23; a wel-come coffee for parents next Monday; back-to-school nights for differ-ent grades on Sept. 11 and 12; and a social for new parents at Jake’s American Grille, 5018 Connecticut Ave., on Sept. 18. The Home and School Association is looking forward to a great school year. Gayle Moseley is serving her second year as co-president, and the association welcomes many new board members, including incoming co-president Hope Scheller. Among other things, the asso-ciation raises money for special activities and other items not covered by the school system budget through membership and fundraising drives, such as the annual auction. New this year are two programs per grade from the Maryland Sci-ence Center. One will be in-classroom, the other an assembly. These are funded by money raised for science at last year’s auction. The Home and School Association also has budgeted for new track and basketball uniforms this year. The ongoing government effort to revise D.C. public school bound-aries and feeder patterns remains a concern for many in the Lafayette community. Last year, interested Lafayette parents formed a working group to monitor developments and advocate for maintaining the exist-ing school boundary and feeder patterns for Lafayette. The group collected more than 700 signatures for a letter to School Chancellor Kaya Henderson expressing these views. While the bound-ary issue is not an immediate concern, revisions to school boundaries and feeder patterns could affect students and families for the next school year. The Lafayette parent working group continues to be engaged on this issue. For more information, see lafayettehsa.org/school-boundary-meeting.

elements. Awadallah said neither corrective action is likely. “My lawyer recommended that I not make any further investment in the property until this is cleared up,” he said, referring to the lawsuit. “Until that’s resolved, we can’t do anything. The city’s aware of it. … I told them, ‘If you guys want to knock it down, go ahead.’” Helder Gil, spokesperson for the regulatory agency, said he was aware of “severely deteriorated con-ditions” at 3324 Dent Place, but he had no further information about the property yesterday. Some neighbors have worried that archaeological issues are further stalling the project. The property was once home to Yarrow Mamout, a prominent freed slave who may even be buried in the backyard. (His death in 1823 predates the current house.) The D.C. Historic Preserva-tion Office has planned an investiga-tion since December, but that has been stymied by the question of who owns the property, according to city archaeologist Ruth Trocolli. “We’ve been promised access [by Awadallah] but until the legal dispute is settled, if we go in there and start poking around, and the original owners secure their claim and they didn’t give us privilege as well, I could just see that being a

disaster,” she said. Trocolli added that the investiga-tion, which would likely take about a week, would be done concurrently with other environmental work on the site, such as soil borings. It there-fore wouldn’t delay the project. She would hope to conduct her excava-tions before the home is razed, how-ever. The Dent Place property backs to a recently uncovered African-Amer-ican cemetery on Q Street. Trocolli thinks Yarrow — who, as a Fulani Muslim, went by his first name — could be buried either there or on his own property. Other items from his lifetime may also be buried on the site. “It just seems to me that that possibility needs to be investigated before somebody comes in and fills it up,” said Trocolli. She added that in some ways, the archaeological investigation could even speed the project. If human remains were found on the property during construction, the project would come to a halt while police ensure that the body isn’t a homicide victim — as happened on Q Street. Delays would be less severe if the remains were found before work began. Trocolli is speaking about the Q Street cemetery and other aspects of D.C. archaeology at 6:45 p.m. tonight at the Mount Pleasant Library, 3160 16th St.

ing the diversity of our city council and encouraging individuals with a strong community base to run.” She added that New York has expanded its program since its intro-duction in the 1980s, increasing grant matching from 1-to-1 to 6-to-1, and reducing the maximum matchable grant from $250 to $175. But Dorothy Brizill of the D.C. Watch group cautioned the D.C. Council to move carefully on the measure and to avoid treating it as “a panacea” for eliminating corruption and improving civic engagement. “A public financing scheme would not have stopped a Harry Thomas, a Kwame Brown or a Michael Brown — three former

elected officials who have pled guilty in federal court to felonies,” said Brizill. “You’re reaching into the pockets of every D.C. taxpayer to pay for this fund,” she added. “I think that is unacceptable.” Matt Nese of the Center for Competitive Elections said his group does not believe that publicly financed elections live up to their goals, and he said New York City has seen several prominent instances of fraudulent spending. It’s also inherently unfair for a taxpayer’s money to go to campaigns that he or she opposes, he said. And Ariel Levinson-Waldman of the D.C. Office of the Attorney Gen-eral urged the council to look at public campaign financing in the

context of broader election reform, calling it an “incomplete answer” to the District’s problems. He added that the idea needs further study before it can be adopted. Grosso and McDuffie said they’re realistic about their expecta-tions and the timeline, but they remain unshaken in their faith that some public financing model is appropriate. Grosso at one point recalled receiving a $7 donation dur-ing his council bid. “It was the most heartfelt thing in the whole campaign,” said Grosso. “He basically said, ‘Here’s what I’ve got. Go win this.’ That’s what we’re trying to create, is a space for those folks to be engaged in politics and feel like it’s making a differ-ence.”

Employment Opportunity Commis-sion under President Jimmy Carter, said the march’s golden anniversary will have an impact on the District’s push for self-government.

“I haven’t given up on marches because the 1963 March on Wash-ington absolutely caused the Civil Rights Act,” she said. “I have seen things happen. That’s why I don’t give up on D.C. statehood and bud-get autonomy.”

sky’s Last Dance” Aug. 27 through 30 at Mead Theatre Lab at Flashpoint. Mladinsko Theatre’s production has toured throughout Europe, and its visit to D.C. coin-cides with the final weeks of the National Gallery of Art exhibition “Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes, 1909-1929: When Art Danced With Music.” The play explores the artistry and madness of dancer and choreographer Vaslav Nijinsky, impresario Sergei Diaghilev’s greatest star.

The Mead Theatre Lab is located at 916 G St. NW. 866-811-4111; culturaldc.org.■ The Essential Theatre will present Perri

through the sounds and rhythms of Afro-Cuban music and dance. Performance times are 7:30 p.m. Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday; 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; and 2 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

protective plastic bollards. A new parking lane would be installed between the cycle track and car-traffic lanes.

These types of designs for protected lanes are gaining currency across the country as a way to boost both the safety and popularity of cycling.

But the new design for the 1500 block of M would preserve curbside parking, installing a painted-green bike lane, without bollards, directly next to traffic lanes.

Some cycling advocates, including the Washington Area Bicyclist Association, have cried foul to the notion of interrupting the cycle track. They argue that a consis-tent design — and continuation of protective features like the bollards — would create safer conditions and fit bet-ter with the city’s goal to create a cohesive network of downtown bike lanes.

The bicyclist group has even called on Mayor Vincent Gray to intervene. “This is a precedent that the city really hasn’t set before — answering the concerns of a private landowner over a public transportation project,” said advocacy coordinator Greg Billing.

“The equivalent would be if DDOT proposed a side-walk to be built on a block, and a single landowner opposed a sidewalk,” Billing said.

But the church has praised the city’s new design, call-ing it a successful compromise. In a forwarded state-ment, the Rev. Ronald E. Braxton, the church’s senior pastor, “applaud[ed] the city for trying to accommodate the concerns of all of its citizens.”

While the church had concerns about the loss of park-ing, Braxton said, there were also broader concerns about the traffic impact of constricting cars to two travel lanes. “Because of the many events that occur in the church and the flow of traffic, the city decided not to limit the flow

of traffic to two moving lanes,” the pastor wrote.Braxton noted that that Metropolitan AME hosts

events not only for members of its congregation, includ-ing funerals, but also larger-scale events that reflect “our work as a national and international gathering place.”

The Transportation Department, in its statement, notes that the church “has a large congregation and has been an important institution on this block since 1925.”

The agency says it changed plans for the church’s block after hearing from various stakeholders, particu-larly at a May meeting. It also notes that the design for the L Street cycle track involved a similar change, to accommodate an existing hotel loading zone.

Billing of the bicyclist association said the gap to the cycle track on L Street is “a little jog” — not “a drastic change in design” like the one on M street.

He said his group has heard “significant” outcry over the M Street issue, but no response yet from Mayor Gray. The goal, Billing said, is for “the mayor to call for a meeting to sit down and look for a compromise.”

The topic inspired some debate recently on Greater Greater Washington, where blog founder David Alpert wrote that the change would be particularly confusing for cyclists coming directly to M from the 15th Street north-south cycle track.

“We can wail and complain all we want,” wrote one commenter. “One thing that [has] been and will be true for the foreseeable future is that DC politicians do not cross the faith-based community.”

Goodno said the current timeline for the M Street cycle track, which will cost around $200,000, has con-struction starting in October and lasting a few weeks. The project was originally supposed to start in August, but contracting and procurement have taken longer than anticipated, he said.

LANE: New design for M Street block will save parkingFrom Page 1

and construction of public schools citywide, said Tuesday that the agen-cy’s facilities management team has “prioritized” Cheh’s list and will address the majority of items by the time school opens. “We’ll get the prioritized items done first, so the opening of school won’t be impacted,” said spokesper-son Kenneth Diggs. Diggs also pointed out that the schools are in far better shape now than they were before his department was created. “We’re a victim of our own success. Each year things get better,” he said. Cheh, in an interview, agreed that there is “no comparison” between conditions at the public schools now and when she took office in 2007. “That was a nightmare. Schools were falling apart. Things are so far improved now, and our schools are in very good shape.” But, she said, she still notices obvious situations — like the inoper-able garage door at Oyster — that should have been addressed, repairs only half-done, and relatively new equipment that failed soon after war-ranties ran out. “I worry that DGS has such a sprawling jurisdiction” that repairs get overlooked, Cheh said, adding that she wants to be sure the depart-ment holds its contractors account-able for repair costs. Cheh had made her “schools readiness tour” a ritual since her first year in office, seeking to make sure routine problems get fixed before school starts in late August. The aim,

her office said, is to ensure that physical problems — anything from missing books to broken air condi-tioners — don’t obstruct learning for students in Ward 3 schools. Last Wednesday’s tour of Deal Middle found a broken column hold-ing up an overhang at the sixth-grade entrance to the school, with a make-shift 2-by-4 board providing support. Metal grates near the gym and cafe-teria were broken, as were several lights. Cheh’s list said the problems were reported more than a year ago, but not yet fixed. At Wilson High, also recently modernized, Cheh found “lots of problems with the doors and locks.” She said many exterior doors do not close securely, and some rooms con-taining expensive equipment don’t have operable locks. At Eaton Elementary, a leaky pipe in the air conditioning caused a mildew smell in a kindergarten classroom. Two bathrooms lacked sinks, and only three of the school’s eight HVAC compressors were fully working. At Murch Elementary, she said, the door to one bathroom doesn’t close, a wall needs repair, one sink backs up, and some soap dispensers don’t work. “Please fix them,” Cheh’s email pleads. The next day, it was off to Oyster, a relatively new building, which seemed to generate the most com-plaints. The air conditioning has had “major problems” since March, she reported. There was a hole in one bathroom wall, a cracked toilet leak-ing water, rips in the front office carpet that were creating tripping

hazards, and “lots of old exposed roots” next to the basketball court. The same day, at Stoddert Ele-mentary, Cheh found a soap dis-penser ripped off the wall, a poorly secured handrail on one stairway and a shattered window. The school needs a rat-proof trash container, she said, and a field on the upper play-ground doesn’t drain properly, creat-ing a “large mud pit” when it rains. At Key Elementary, there were missing bricks at the main entrance, broken tiles near an outside door, lights in the parking lot that don’t work properly, and clogged gutters that cause standing water on the roof. At Hardy Middle, Cheh found a broken urinal in one bathroom and tall grass and overgrown shrubs on the grounds. Today, Cheh will tour Hearst and Mann, two elementary schools undergoing complete modernization and expansion. Both are the scene of full-bore efforts to renovate the orig-inal school buildings by summer’s end. Diggs said both of the 1930s-era buildings will be ready to open on time, with construction of addi-tions beginning this fall. Also on today’s agenda is a visit to Janney Elementary, a recently modernized school where she has already lodged some complaints. According to her listing, there are “lots of problems with equipment just installed two years ago.” The roof of the new cafeteria is moldy, she reports, and some air condition-ers are not working. The city has made many repairs, but the council member is asking for a “permanent solution.”
