> RETURN OF LIVE MUSIC?
> Live Musical Expression Breakthru in MtP! Thursday, 28 September 2006
> marked the return of live musical expression in Mount Pleasant, at Don
> Juan's Restaurant in the form of karaoke. The fully signed permit came in
> that day. While the Alcohol Beverage Control Board had approved the
> entertainment endorsement last month, actual signing was held back until
> the
> Board could meet again and reconsider. (The first approval came in
> respect
> to the resolution passed in an emergency meeting of ANC1-D.) I heard from
> insiders that this reconsideration was done after a flurry of calls to the
> Board in protest to this breach of long-time prohibition. Let the good
> times roll... at least start to roll, for those who want the freedom to
> choose.
>
> But for how long, and how much? Most licenses are up for renewal in March
> 2007, and will be considered by a new session of ANC 1-D, with likely half
> new members. This session is already preparing for that with resolutions,
> an informal meeting with the ABC Board, and numerous discussion with
> licensees at meetings of ANC 1-D's Commercial Corridor Committee. (The
> ComCor meets the first Monday of each month, except for a few holidays, at
> 3166 Mt Pleasant St. Gather at 6:15pm, start at 6:30, stop at 8:30, clear
> at 9.
>
> Because almost all "Voluntary" Agreements in MtP have been in force for
> four
> years or more, they can be completely changed. Thus the almost complete
> ban
> on singing, dancing, jazz, mariachi, or any other form of live human
> musical
> expression could be negotiated away. Also, because of the great weight
> provision in the DC Charter for duly passed resolutions of Advisory
> Neighborhood Commissions, the ANC's recommendations substantially outweigh
> any other group. In asking experts in this very contentious proceeding
> affecting most neighborhoods, I was told that a substantial change in the
> VAs is successful only when the ANC starts working on this process well in
> advance, typically six months in advance. Thus, we have begun what will
> be
> one of the more 'interesting times' in setting the tone for MtP's
> commercial
> corridor. If there is a major change, then by law it must remain in
> effect
> for another four years. --Gregg Edwards, ANC1-D04

> ###############
> STRAW POLL
> Live music is currently banned at all Mount Pleasant establishments
> because
> of a "voluntary agreement" between the MPNA and each and every
> establishment
> in Mount Pleasant that wants a liquor license. It has often been said
> that
> a few people are forcing their will on the masses. If the current volume
> level limits for noise were to exist, are you in favor of allowing live
> music in Mount Pleasant's establishments? To vote, please visit:
> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MountPleasantDC/surveys?id=2352426 I
> figured
> that an online poll would be good to gather the sentiment of Mount
> Pleasant
> residents - and possibly a precursor to a petition where names, addresses
> and signatures are captured. A poll or petition will not do away with the
> Voluntary Agreements that prohibit live music in Mount Pleasant currently.
> Although, it may provide supporting evidence for why the current policies
> on
> VAs need to be adjusted. Note: Please do not reply to this message. Poll

> MtP BIKE LANES
> One critical issue that the ANC faces right now are proposed Bike Lanes on
> Park Road leading to Rock Creek Park and the existing Bike Trail. Despite
> being a means of calming traffic through a residential corridor where
> motorists often speed, the lanes are facing opposition from some community
> leaders.
>
> Bicyclists showed up in force at this month's ANC 1D meeting to express
> their strong support for better bicycling for Mt. Pleasant residents. The
> ANC defeated a resolution that would have incorporated proposed bike lanes
> on a segment of Park Road in an overall traffic calming application and
> would have delayed their installation. The ANC had received over 30
> e-mails
> and numerous phone calls in support of the proposed lanes.
>
> WABA's position was that the bike lanes had been called for in the DC
> Bicycle Master Plan, completed in April of 2005, which was well before
> traffic calming on Park Road was raised as an issue. Bike lanes are also
> not recognized by the District Department of Transportation as traffic
> calming devices. If you would like to receive a printed copy of the DC
> Bicycle Master Plan, please e-mail your request to waba@waba.org
>
> At the MtP ANC meeting numerous cyclists mentioned the hazards on Park
> Road
> near Rock Creek Park. WABA will continue to work with the National Park
> Service and the District Department of Transportation on improving the
> roadway surface, as well as installing bike route and share the road signs
> along the length of Park Road. If you have any additional suggestions on
> what can be done to improve bicycling in Mt Pleasant, Adams Morgan or
> Columbia Heights, please send an e-mail to waba@waba.org
>
> Finally, I'd like to take this opportunity to bring to your attend two
> other
> projects that are of interest to cyclists in your area. The first is the
> Columbia Heights/Mt Pleasant Transportation Study. The latest designs
> will
> extend the existing bike lanes on 14th Street further south to Park Road.
> While this is certainly an improvement, we are working with the DDOT on
> plans that would extend the bike lanes south past Irving Street. If we
> are
> successful, we may be able to further extend the bike lanes all the way
> south to meet up with exiting bike lanes at 14th and T Street NW.
>
> Secondly, the DDOT will soon begin a public involvement process on the
> reconstruction of the Rock Creek Trail. As many of you know, the trail is
> in a horrible state of disrepair and needs to be resurfaced and widened.
> Stay tuned to www.waba.org for information on public meeting dates and
> times. If you'd like to send comments now, please e-mail DDOT's project
> manager Chris Holben at chris.holben@dc.gov Thanks again for your support

> FIESTA DC REPORT
> Over 20,000 people enjoyed the return of the Festival to the Mt. Pleasant.
> Adrian Fenty, Jim Graham, Maryland congressperson Ana Sol Gutierrez and
> other elected officials from Maryland and Virginia took part in the
> opening
> ceremonies. Numerous orchestras and musical groups performed in a broad
> range of styles; a parade of nations featured 14 continents and
> approximately 500 dancers; there was a theater festival with two different
> casts, and a presentation by the Contemporary Dance Theater Group of El
> Salvador. A special and widely praised activity was The Children's
> Festival, where 750 books and dozens of gifts were distributed as
> presents.
>
> "It took us three years to return the festival to its home," said Alfonso
> Aguilar, Executive Director. The Director also highlighted that the
> police
> reported "a very orderly and very well coordinated festival, with a great
> family atmosphere among all participants, and without any serious
> incidents." "We also received favorable reports from the many official
> agencies that regulate events of such magnitude, and from Mt. Pleasant

> TAGGING REMOVAL
> Dear Neighbors, a bill authored by Councilmember Jim Graham (D-Ward One)
> passed the Council on 10/3. Under the bill, the District government could
> more quickly remove gang graffiti from nuisance properties. The bill
> would
> allow the DC Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs to immediately
> remove graffiti that poses a threat to the life, health or safety of
> residents. Gang graffiti, or tagging, is used to mark turf and signal
> gang
> members or members of rival gangs. "Not all graffiti is created equal,"
> said Councilmember Graham. "We're not talking about murals here. We're
> talking about tagging, which defaces property and disempowers people in
> their own communities. This turf marking in our neighborhoods is a
> dangerous situation."
>
> B16-395 would also allow DCRA to order the removal of
> non-life-or-safety-threatening graffiti after proper notice to the owner
> of
> a nuisance property. The bill passed unanimously on final reading, and
> can
> be found online here:

> ROBBERY
> Dear Friends: I want to share with you an incident that occurred just the
> other day involving our police commander, Larry McCoy. He deserves
> special
> recognition for this fine work. It is model of bravery and skill. At
> about
> 2:30, on Saturday afternoon, 8/19, in the 3200 block of 18th Street, a
> woman
> pulled her car into her driveway. A man approached her, produced a pistol
> and told her to walk into her house. She did. He demanded money. She
> gave
> up a small amount of cash. He told her to go outside with him, and to get
> into her car. She refused and ran away. He grabbed her, she screamed,
> and
> attracted attention of passersby. He ran away.
>
> MPD officers on the scene located two witnesses in the alley about a block
> and a half away. They said they'd observed the suspect running through
> the
> alley. The officers canvassed an abandoned house on the 1700 block of
> Newton. They found a BB gun and clothing matching the witnesses'
> description of the suspect. The gun was colored gray. Commander McCoy
> asked to see the gun, because of similar reports on a gray gun in a
> previous
> robbery. He considered gray colored guns unusual, as they are usually
> black
> or silver. McCoy went to the house; talked to the officers, saw the gun
> and
> some stolen property. McCoy asked if anyone had gone upstairs to make
> sure
> nobody else was in the house. There were holes through the floor, and the
> staircase was unstable. Yet, he went up the stairs. Commander McCoy
> found
> the suspect hiding in a back room. He was identified as Paul Henderson, a
> registered sex offender with a lengthy record. Henderson had a crack pipe
> in his hand. In his possession, he had papers showing he'd gotten out of
> jail August 3. He was also wanted on parole violation. Detectives took
> him
> in and interviewed him. The woman positively identified Henderson as the
> person who assaulted and robbed her.
>
> There have been other burglaries nearby, and police found other
> property --
> purses and ID's, in the house where Henderson was hiding. Detectives are
> working to see if he's responsible for other crimes.
>
> (Note: I spoke personally to DCRA who went immediately to inspect the
> property. The property owner of both 1718 and 1720 Newton called me, to
> say
> that they were about to renovate. I informed him that, although the front
> of the buildings appeared secure, the rear was open. He stated that they
> must have just taken down the boards. In any event, I assured him that,
> unless he had the property secured today, DCRA would be doing it...at his

> Likewise - I hope that the individual who is being discussed on the Mount

> MtP LIBRARY EXTERIOR RESTORATION
> The DC Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of the DC Public

> windows, stone masonry and ornamental railings and grates. It also
> includes
> improvements to security lighting, general landscaping and site
> improvements. Because of the library's prominence, the DC Public Library
> sought and received full support of the restoration project from the local

> Office. This $878,750 capital project is the first phase of a
> multi-million
> dollar total exterior & interior redesign and renovation of the Mt.
> Pleasant
> Neighborhood Library. It also marks the beginning phase of the library
> system's 21st century transformation initiative. The Mt. Pleasant
> Neighborhood Library restoration project is estimated to take six to nine
> months to complete. The branch will remain in operation and open to the
> public with limited disruption of service for the duration of the

> sautéed and boiled, stir-fried and braised. I like the Turkey, too, if it
> is cooked properly but the local fruits and vegetables make the meal for
> me.
>
> Tree and Leaf and Truckpatch have lots of greens: spinach and chards and
> kales and collards, turnip, mustard and beet greens, arugula and salad
> mixes, beets and carrots and new potatoes, fingerlings, radishes, daikon,
> cauliflowers and broccolis of many hues and shapes, cabbages, lovely
> turnips
> and beets. Brussels sprouts on their stems (pluck them off the stems, wash
> them, dry, roll them in olive oil and roast them in a 400 degree oven on a
> cookie sheet until the outside leaves are crispy and the insides are
> tender.
> This recipe converts even British schoolboys to lovers of Brussels

> And yes, onions and garlic are back.

> Add some spices to your stuffing. Kathy Audia has wonderful spice mixes
> from her own herbs and Turkey herb rubs --- with and without salt.

> Quaker Valley has big sweet potatoes and some particularly yummy winter
> squash -- those blue Jaradale -- and ask for the red Kuris from Reid and
> Truckpatch. Think puree of winter squash or pumpkin soup!
>
> Fresh pears and ciders. Twenty varieties of apples! And many of them will
> keep for months in the fridge --ask Reid and Quaker Valley, which are the
> *best keepers*. Walnuts in their shells make great nibbles at the

> Breadline will have great bread for stuffing.

> Nina Planck, the MtP Farmers Market founder, was rhapsodizing about beets
> and beet greens. I thought I would share it with you: Last night we ate
> beets and beet greens, and I found myself saying to my mother, who is here
> looking after me and my new baby, Julian: I think I like beet greens even
> better than beets, if that's possible.
>
> My favorite way to eat beets is cut in large chunks and roasted with olive
> oil, butter, and a gentle sort of herb, such as summer savory or thyme.
> Toss well with sea salt. I roast them in a hot oven (about 400 F) for the
> first 15 minutes or so, and then at 350 F until they are perfectly soft
> through. They are a bit shrivelly and caramelized on the outside, smooth
> and soft inside.
>
> Last night we ate beets my second favorite way. Mom cut the beets in
> chunks
> and boiled them in salted water, and when they were almost done, added the
> chopped stems and beet greens. When the greens and beets were both soft (I
> don't care much for al dente greens), she drained them and added plenty of
> olive oil, aged balsamic vinegar, and unrefined sea salt. You can also
> steam them, to keep as many nutrients as possible, but that takes a long
> time. I prefer to add just enough water that it has all boiled off when
> the
> beets and greens are done. I even leave a little red beet-water in the
> pot
> before I dress them, because I like the dressing to be a little bit soupy
> and moist. The key flavor is the vinegar, which, with the sweet, earthy
> beets, makes it sort of sweet-and-sour. Too seldom do I buy good aged
> balsamic vinegar, but we had some on hand - it was a baby gift - and it is
> leagues better than the cheaper stuff. (But, Robin here, I like Sherry
> vinegar in this dish as well.) See you on Saturday. --Robin and Tessa

> BRING BACK POTLUCKS
> Mt. Pleasant had a pretty thriving series of monthly potlucks geared
> towards
> the neighborhood's LGBT community (along with their friends and
> neighbors),
> which quietly wound down about 4 years ago. After moving away from MtP
> during that time and recently returning to the neighborhood, I would love
> to
> see this series revived. These potlucks happened the evening of every
> second Sunday and typically attracted a small crowd bearing fantastic food
> and company. A new "host" would have the potluck at his or her place each
> month, providing a space in which to gather, utensils, plates, and sodas -
> potluck "guests" brought everything else. I'd be happy to coordinate
> these
> potlucks again. Please let me know if you'd be interested in attending
> future potlucks, and especially if you'd like to consider hosting one (I
> assure you that hosting is a VERY easy job). If interest picks up and we
> have a host volunteer, the potlucks could start anew as early as possible!
> Crossing my fingers that people will be as interested as I am, I took the
> liberty of choosing a new LGBT potluck e-mail address. Hoping to nosh on
> potluck fare with my LGBT neighbors soon. --Christy
