> Festival,
> a Science Fair and a Health Fair, a Community-Based Organization

> MORE POLICE
> Dear Friends, the DC Council has approved 350 new additional police
> officers
> for District neighborhoods. I strongly support this expansion of the
> police
> force. During budget discussions in May, I successfully led the effort
> for
> funding 100 new neighborhood police officers. The Council's action means
> a
> total of 450 new officers will be hired, trained and headed for the
> streets.
> I introduced a bill for 500 new officers last year, but there wasn't
> support
> for it among my colleagues. Now we've had 13 violent deaths in 12 days in
> the District, and the need for this has never been clearer. We have the
> money. It's high time to add more officers. Funding for the new officers
> will come from the District's anticipated Fiscal Year 2007 surplus. --

> ###############
> RENT CONTROL
> Dear Friends, sweeping changes to the District's rent control law will now
> take effect August 4. The Council voted for this date unanimously
> yesterday
> because of a change in the Congressional schedule. Waiting for Congress
> would have pushed us into September. We have many reports from tenants
> whose
> rents are going way up, right now. It's time for the new law. Before
> most
> District legislation becomes law, Congress has 30 days to review it. Both
> the House and Senate must be in session during the review period. The
> rent
> control reform law, which Mayor Anthony Williams signed June 14, was due
> to
> become law August 4. But Congress added a day of recess to its calendar.
> Our emergency Council action restores the original August 4 effective
> date.
> The reform bill, which I authored, is the most significant change to the
> District's rent control laws in more than 20 years. It applies to an
> estimated 100,000 apartments in the city. For the text of the rent
> control
> reform act, a detailed comparison of the new bill with the current law,

> YELLOW LINE COMING TO COLUMBIA HEIGHTS/MtP STATION
> Dear Friends, I'm happy to tell you that the Yellow Line is headed for
> Fort
> Totten. The WMATA board has given the green light to extending the Yellow
> Line to Fort Totten during off-peak periods. As a voting member, I
> proposed
> this extension. It would double the number of weekend and evening trains
> available at the Shaw/Howard University, U Street, Columbia Heights and
> Georgia Avenue/Petworth stations on the Green Line -- beginning in January
> 2007. This service addition is very important and comes at a relatively
> low
> cost. We get a lot of bang for our Metro bucks.
>
> Extending the Yellow Line will mean a new connection to the Red Line at
> Fort
> Totten, a new direct route to National Airport, new service to the retail
> center in Columbia Heights, and a new means of getting to Ward One
> entertainment. This will help bring people from the suburbs into the city
> for shopping and entertainment. It coincides nicely with the official
> groundbreaking on the new Target retail development scheduled for May 5-6
> in
> Columbia Heights.
>
> The Yellow Line extension will not require any additional rail cars,
> because
> it will use equipment that is currently only in use during rush periods.
> Costs will include $1.25 million to upgrade a turn-around at Ft. Totten
> and
> revise the maps and signage throughout the Metro system, and $3 million in
> operating costs each year.
>
> This proposal was first discussed in public at a Jan. 23 town hall meeting
> sponsored by myself, WMATA, ANC 1B, and the Mid-City Business Association.
> "Everyone who lives anywhere near one of these Metro stops will benefit
> from
> the additional service," said Scott Pomeroy, executive director of the
> Mid-City Business Association. "But this will also help the neighborhood
> by
> reducing the number of cars competing for scarce street parking."

> SHIPE REWARD DOUBLED
> Dear Friends, the reward for information in the unsolved murder case of
> Gregory Shipe has grown to $50,000. I requested the increase after a May
> vigil and rally in Mount Pleasant. Metropolitan Police Chief Charles
> Ramsey
> raised the reward and issued new posters for the area around the crime
> scene
> in response to my request. I hope this extra effort will help bring the
> killer to justice. We're talking about a man out walking on a fairly busy
> street on a Saturday night. Someone must have seen something. Shipe was
> shot to death while walking his dog the evening of September 17, 2005 in
> the
> 1700 block of Irving St. The case is under investigation by members of
> the
> MPD's Violent Crimes Branch. Anyone with information about this case is
> asked to call Detective Tony Patterson, 645-7065 or Detective Carol Queen,
> 645-6364 or the Metropolitan Police Department's Synchronized Operations
> Command Center (SOCC), 727-9099. Bests, Councilmember Jim Graham

> ALLEY REPAIRS
> Over the last year and a half I have put in three different requests for
> alley repairs to be done on the alley behind the 1700 block of Newton
> Street, and behind Mount Pleasant St. & 18th St between Park and Newton.
> The alley is in horrible shape, and I have also recently put in a request
> to
> have it cleaned because there are all kinds of items that are abandoned
> back
> there from a bed mattress and box spring that has been there for months, a
> door, and other debris that has been dumped there.
>
> From the requests for alley repairs to be done the resolution has always
> been: refer to "ipma". However the last request had this as a resolution:
> refer to "st.maint#1150463". I assume that is some street maintenance
> plan.
> Can someone tell me where I can find this to see if the alley is indeed
> included and if so when it is scheduled?
>
> They are repaving Newton Street for the second time in less then 2 years
> when it didn't seem to need it at all, however the alley, which badly
> needs
> attention, is being ignored. Someone said that they had talked to city
> officials about this particular alley, and that they were going to speak
> with them again. I want to say that it is one of our representatives on
> the
> ANC but I would have to go back and look through the e-mails to say that
> for
> sure.
>
> As for alley cleaning, they claim to have inspected it, and the resolution
> date is at least a month out. This is ridiculous as sending in a trash
> truck and at least picking up the large pieces of debris ASAP makes sense.
> Also, where this alley makes a 90-degree turn there are two abandoned
> houses
> that have trash strewn all throughout the back yard. I reported these two
> houses as abandoned and they did make the owner come and seal them up, but
> I
> am surprised that the city let them keep the yard strewn with debris.
>
> Finally, some owners have erected barrier's in this alley on public
> property
> that make it basically impossible to navigate some of the turn in even a
> mid-size car. These barriers that are on public property need to be
> removed
> so that the alley is accessible. I have to back half way out the alley
> and
> go out the other way because one of the turns near the entrance to the
> alley
> on Newton is not navigable due to this.
>
> Can anyone point me to this street maintenance plan and if a
> representative
> has any ability to get the city to address these concerns, I and the other
> residents would much appreciate it. Thanks. --David

> so please come by and learn why the traditional foods your grandmother ate
> really are the healthy ones.
>
> What is NEW this week at the market? CORN! CORN!, CANTALOUP, the first
> of the season. Huge bunches of basil to make your first pesto,
> interesting
> new potatoes and onions to make a classic (and classy) potato salad
> (recipe

> Lots of Tomatoes at Truckpatch. At Audia's: Final week for her
> gooseberries. Have you tried them? If you have been hanging back on
> making
> that Gooseberry Fool, this is your last chance for 2006. She has the

> that would make an excellent potato salad (see the recipe below).

> semi-cling yellow peaches, apricots, cherries, blueberries, purple onions,
> potatoes, honey and apple butter, home- made pies (yes, those crusts are
> made by Fredi herself), flowers. Reid: apricots, applesauce-making Lodi
> apples, cherries, red, yellow, and black raspberries, white and yellow
> peaches. Truckpatch: is bringing plenty of TOMATOES, basil, mesclun, baby
> squash and zucchini, pattypans, beets, green beans -- and the season's

> 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
> 2-3 finely chopped green onions
> 5 hard-boiled pastured eggs
> 1 1/2 - 2 cups Mayonnaise (homemade or store-bought)
> 1-2 tbsp dijon mustard
> Finely chopped chives or parsley for garnish
>
> Scrub potatoes thoroughly, and put them in a pot. Cover with cold water,
> and cook over med-high heat, partially covered, until tender when pierced
> with a knife (about 20-25 minutes). Avoid overcooking / mushy potatoes.
> Drain, and set aside to cool slightly. Peel potatoes and cut into
> 1/2-inch
> cubes. While potatoes are cooking, chop onions and place in bottom of
> large
> mixing bowl. Add warm, cubed potatoes into bowl on top of onions (warm
> potatoes will soften the onions). Sprinkle cider vinegar, salt, black
> pepper, and chopped onion / green onion over them. Gently toss potatoes
> to
> distribute and mix in the seasonings. Separate cooked egg yolks & egg
> whites. Chop the egg whites and add to the potatoes. In a separate
