Subject: Incident on 13th and V Streets 		daa0172
Send Email Send Email
  
Hi All,

I just wanted to send a message to inform everyone about a crime that
occurred while I was walking with a friend last night at 7:15pm on the
corner of 13th and V Streets. I live on 13th Street between U and V and was
walking with a friend to another friend's house on V Street, part of
Harrison Square.  We were walking up 13th street and were at the corner of V
Street when a man approached us and asked for a cigarette.  We both said No
and kept walking across the street.  He then moved closer to us and asked
for "Coins"…we both said no and then he pulled out a gun and told us to stop
or he would "pop us."  He told us to give him our money.  My friend emptied
his pockets onto the hood of a parked car.  I did not have anything to give
the man, since I was only walking a block, I had left my wallet, phone,
etc., at  home.  He grabbed about $70-80 of cash off the hood of the car and
then came closer to me to ask for more money.  I again told him that I had
nothing, other than a bag of groceries and my friend offered a credit card
and ATM card.  The man said no and pulled out the cash again to show me and
said that this was not enough and he wanted something else.  I again told
him that I had nothing and my friend offered the cards again.  The man then
said to "Take off your jacket…the leather one" that my friend was wearing.
He grabbed the jacket and said something to us about not calling anyone and
to turn around and began to run east on V Street.  We watched him run about
3 blocks and then head up North while we were on the phone with 911.

We immediately called 911 and the police came quickly, took a report and
drove us around the neighborhood to see if we could find the guy…we didn't.

The man was a medium-dark complexion black male, probably 28-35 yrs. Old.
5'10-6'0 tall and maybe 160-170 lbs.  He was wearing a hat and a mid-length
brown jacket, boots and dark pants.  He had some facial hair, maybe a
mustache.

Anyway, moral of this email is just to let everyone know that we need to be
really careful and aware of anyone around us.  With the Metro so close by, I
always see people walking down 13th Street and generally do not think twice.
   I am also still shocked that this could happen right there at the corner,
in front of Harrison Square, next to a traffic light and up the street from
my home.

Be careful and let me know if you have any questions…David

Dear friends and neighbors--

As I'm sure all of us are, I am troubled by the crime and public disorder
which make our community less than an ideal place to live. I am glad to hear
that David and his friend are safe -- they acted smartly and rightly in a
difficult and dangerous situation.

For those of your concerned by these incidents and who want to get involved,
I'd like to invite you to attend the combined CSNA Public Safety and 3rd
District PSA 306 Community meeting which will be held on Wednesday, February
20th at 7:00 PM upstairs at the Saloon.  In addition, the CSNA Public Safety
Committee is looking for new committee members to help in community problem
solving -- if there's enough interest we will hold another 8 hour training
class.  Finally, many of you may remember that the CSNA started a Problem
Solving group back in December to address robberies and muggings in the
neighborhood -- that group was suspended due to lack of community
participation.  If anyone is interested in participating in a renewed effort
in this area, please let me know.

As always, please let us know about your public safety concerns and
questions.

Chair, Public Safety

This was just posted on the Columbia Heights Forum.  The first successful
use of the tenant receivership law.  I hope that it encourages  tenants in
similar situations to consider the same.  The law dictates a bit on the
priority of repairs and the court oversees.  I am also pleased that the
attorney who took this forward is a Antioch Law School classmate of mine,
keeping our public service training in the forefront.

Subject: receiver appointed for 3500 13th St. (13th & Monroe)

FYI -- The city recently responded to a Tenants Association petition and
appointed Fred A Smith Management company as the receiver for 3500 13th St.
(NW corner of 13th & Monroe). The receiver is like a foster landlord -- the
receiver collects tenants' rent and uses the money to make repairs to the
building and to pay bills for the building. The landlord, Thomas John PhD,
still owns the building, but no longer gets the rent money. The city has
brought criminal charges against Dr. John for neglect of the building, and
his trial is scheduled to start March 20th.

The receivership law was passed about the time the list of hot properties
was published, in March 2000. As far as we know, this is the first use of
the law.

Subject: EVENT: 2/7 - DCEN LUNCHEON - "Low Impact Development..."

The DC Environmental Network invites all Metro-based Environmentalists to
a Brown Bag Luncheon!:

ISSUE UPDATE:

Low Impact Development: Green Ideas from Toolshed to Watershed!

with:

*Dawn Gifford, Program Coordinator, Community Resources
*Bill Matuszeski, retired director of EPA Chesapeake Bay program
*John Tippett, Executive Director, Friends of the Rappahannock
*Neil Weinstein, Executive Director, Low Impact Development Center

Low Impact Development is one element of designing sustainable
communities, with a focus on minimizing hydrologic impacts like flooding,
erosion and poor water quality and promoting water conservation.  Our
guest panelists will discuss implementing LID on household, city-wide and
watershed levels.    

The poor health of the Anacostia and Potomac Rivers and Rock Creek is in
large part due to problems that could be alleviated through the use of
LID techniques.  For instance, combined sewer overflows dump millions of
gallons of polluted storm water along with raw sewage into our waters
every year.  Minimizing impervious surfaces, disconnecting household
gutters from the sewer system and strategically planting gardens to
filter storm water runoff are all LID techniques that would reduce the
amount of storm water dumping into our waters, leading to improved water
quality.

Come gets some tips about how you can retrofit your home using LID
techniques!  Learn about efforts already afoot to implement
LID on a watershed scale in Virginia, and some of the many exciting
community-based LID projects underway right here in DC.

Hope to see you on the 7th!

DATE:     Thursday, February 7th
TIME:      12:00 Noon to 1:30 PM

What would you like to see at Meridian Hill Park?

Posted by Ursula Johnson on January 30, 19102 at 16:19:57:

Dear community members. I am a architecture student at Howard university and
am currently living in the Meridian Hill Hall Dormitory on 16th and Euclid.
Our most recent project/task assigned in school is to redesign Meridian Hill
Park. While this project may never happen in reality (at this moment this
is) I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me what it is that you
would like to see at Meridian/Malcolm X park? More recreational space? More
community unity projects? anything at all? Please let me know as soon as
possible as i will be spending the next 3 weeks working diligently to create
a park for the PEOPLE, thus needing your input the most.
Thank you for your Time and i look forward to your responses.


Sincerely,
Ursula Johnson, AIAS

Six Found Dead in the Cold
Toll Stuns D.C. Officials Who Had Expanded Outreach Efforts

By Sewell Chan
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, February 6, 2002; Page A01


The first report came at 6:54 a.m. yesterday: A homeless man, cold to the touch, had been found at a bus stop in Northwest Washington. Five more reports soon followed, as District officials grappled with what seems to be an unprecedented number of deaths in the city in a single day due to cold weather.

The dead included four homeless men. In addition, a man and a woman were found separately in their homes, according to Jonathan L. Arden, the District's chief medical examiner. Autopsies have not been completed, but "of the six cases, three of them strongly appear to be due to hypothermia," he said. The other three deaths, including the two people found in their homes, are being investigated to determine whether hypothermia was a factor.

The deaths, coming during a period in which temperatures swung in a few days from a summer-like 77 degrees to near-zero wind chills, stunned city officials. District agencies and advocates for the homeless had expanded outreach efforts after at least five adults died in the cold last winter, the first such fatalities in several years.

"We're scrambling like mad here," Arden said.

In October, Mayor Anthony A. Williams (D) signed an order directing agencies that serve the homeless to improve the coordination of their services. The order also called for stepped-up enforcement of city laws that permit the involuntary commitment of mentally ill or visibly intoxicated individuals who pose a threat to themselves by staying outside in freezing temperatures.

The city's hypothermia shelters for adults reached capacity Monday night for the first time this winter, prompting the city to turn to the privately run Community for Creative Non-Violence shelter and two churches to handle the overflow.

"If you look at what we did last year and what we have done this year, there has been a tremendous improvement," said Carolyn W. Colvin, director of the Department of Human Services. "I think it's unrealistic to expect that we are going to be able to identify every single individual who is at risk."

Colvin said the city cannot legally force people to seek shelter. "If they appear to be in their right mind, are not delusional, are not intoxicated, are not wet, we cannot bring them in," she said.

The Community Partnership for the Prevention of Homelessness, the nonprofit group that manages public funding of the city's largely privatized homeless services, was criticized last winter for not keeping close tabs on deaths from hypothermia. Sue A. Marshall, its executive director, said yesterday that she did not know about the six deaths. "No one here has heard from the medical examiner," she said.

Arden would not release the names of the dead but said the homeless men were found at a soup kitchen at 24th and G streets NW; a bus stop at 11th and U streets NW; an abandoned building on Seventh Street NW near MCI Center; and at Thompson's Boathouse near the Kennedy Center.

The man at the bus stop was 42, arrived at Howard University Hospital at 5:25 a.m. and was pronounced dead, according to fire and police officials.

The man found at his Northeast home was 67, according to the hospital.

Ruth Dickey, executive director of Miriam's Kitchen, the Foggy Bottom soup kitchen where one man was found, identified him as Arnold Scoggins. She said Scoggins appeared to be in his sixties and collapsed on the steps of the facility about 7:10 a.m. Scoggins was pronounced dead at George Washington University Hospital, she said.

"I've known him on the streets since 1994," Dickey said. "He's been a sweet, gentle, older man. He would always say to me, 'I'm going home soon. I'm going to get the lottery settlement. I'm getting off these streets in two or three weeks.' "

Gregory C. Hill, a formerly homeless man who is now an outreach worker for Rachael Women's Center in Northwest Washington, said he did not know about the man who died at the 11th and U streets bus stop. But he said a number of men who regularly gather in the U Street-Cardozo area may have been surprised by the change in weather.

"The wind caught a lot of people off guard," Hill said. "People have chosen to stay outside with hopes that they will make it through the night, believe it or not. A lot of people think they are warm enough."

Arden's office also is investigating whether the deaths in the private homes are linked to the cold. The woman was found at home with a lowered body temperature, he said, while the man was found unclothed near a window in his home. He would not say whether the homes were heated.

"It very much distresses me, because our whole program is set up to provide temporary, emergency, get-through-the-night services," said Charles J. Clinton, director of the D.C. Energy Office.

The office provides weatherization help and has an energy assistance hot line (202-673-6750).

Cmdr. Cheryl Peacock of the city's 3rd Police District said officers are told at roll call once a week to be on the lookout for homeless people in winter. They receive an additional reminder any night the temperature dips below 32, she said, and are supposed to call the city's hypothermia hot line (800-535-7252) if individuals refuse to go inside.

D.C. Council member Jim Graham (D-Ward 1) said yesterday that the Reeves Municipal Center, three blocks from the bus shelter where one man died, should be opened as an overflow shelter on freezing nights.

"This is too close to home, too close to what could have been a place for this guy to get to," Graham said. "I'm deeply disturbed."

Staff writers David A. Fahrenthold and Allan Lengel contributed to this report.

Subject: Overwhelming Support for Jim Graham's Re-election 		Grahamwone@...
Send Email Send Email
 

Last July, a diverse group of Ward One residents, business owners, and community activists launched an effort to encourage Jim Graham to continue working as our Councilmember. We wrote letters, circulated petitions, and sent e-mails to hundreds of people who live in, work in, and care about Ward One. The response to our calls has been, in a word, overwhelming.

 

At last count, almost 600 people including small business owners and labor leaders, community activists, and senior citizens, have added their names to ours to let Jim know how much they value his leadership on the City Council. People have also evidenced their support by making contributions so our work could continueover $30,000 was donated in the past seven months! Its clear that the people of Ward One want Jim Graham to stay as their Councilmember.

 

We think its important to share our results, not only with Jim, but also with the entire Ward One community. Please visit www.members.aol.com/grahamwone to view a copy of an advertisement we recently placed in newspapers read by many Ward One citizens. We hope you saw the ad in El Tiempo Latino, The Intowner, La Nacion, The Washington Afro American, The Washington Blade, The Washington City Paper, and The Washington Hispanic. We have also mailed and e-mailed the ad to thousands of Ward One citizens.

 

After three years of service, Jim has really delivered on the promises he made when he ranimproving basic services and always being accessible to his constituents. He was worked to make our neighborhoods safer. He has been a strong advocate for more cops on the beat, and a better response to 911 calls. Jim has also been a leader on maintaining affordable housing in DC. He made sure that the housing bill recently passed by the Council would preserve the diversity of neighborhoods by making incentives available to residential developers who include affordable housing in their plans. These and many others are achievements we all can appreciate.

 

We know Jim is close to deciding whether to seek a second term. We need that decision to be yes. If you havent already done so, please join us by returning the coupon included on the ad today. You can also send an e-mail to mailto:citizensforgraham@.... Thank you.

 

Sincerely,

 

People of Ward One for Jim Graham Exploratory Committee

I think the water features and trees are wonderful.  Anything to enhance tree health and maintain water features are a plus.  Would object to ball fields or other development of the like. The park is unsafe, so for people to use it, security must be heightened.  Another feature that would improve the park is to tear down or reduce the height of the  south building that blocks the wonderful vista that once was!

What would you like to see at Meridian Hill Park?

Posted by Ursula Johnson on January 30, 19102 at 16:19:57:

Dear community members. I am a architecture student at Howard university and
am currently living in the Meridian Hill Hall Dormitory on 16th and Euclid.
Our most recent project/task assigned in school is to redesign Meridian Hill
Park. While this project may never happen in reality (at this moment this
is) I would really appreciate if anyone could tell me what it is that you
would like to see at Meridian/Malcolm X park? More recreational space? More
community unity projects? anything at all? Please let me know as soon as
possible as i will be spending the next 3 weeks working diligently to create
a park for the PEOPLE, thus needing your input the most.
Thank you for your Time and i look forward to your responses.


Sincerely,
Ursula Johnson, AIAS

Subject: U Street in the February Edition of the Intowner 		cardozo_shaw
Send Email Send Email
 
Hello Neighbors,

I recommend that everyone who is interested in U Street should pick up a copy of the February Edition of the Intowner.  You will find several articles about the area.  Paul Williams does a wonderful piece about  Old Children’s Hospital at 13th & V in the “Scenes from the Past” feature.  The recent robbery at 13th & V was featured in the crime report.  I want to encourage everyone to attend the joint CSNA and PSA 306 meeting February 20, at the Saloon, Upstairs 1207 U Street, NW at 7:00 PM.

There is also a very comprehensive feature in the Community Forum section by Michael Schade that chronicles the recent development in the Dupont, Logan, U Street and Adams Morgan neighborhoods.  This is one of the best features I’ve read in a long time.

As you read through the feature I wanted to add a few things that didn’t make the report about U Street.  The long abandoned building on the Northwest corner of 15th & U is under renovation.  Web Cakes will open shortly at 1506 U Street next to DC Vote.  Plans for the development above the Metro Stop at 13th & U will be presented to the community soon.  Problem clubs Songhai, next to Ben’s and DC Finest, 9th & U, have had their licenses suspended and may be permanently revoked.  New retail is moving into the 1200 block of U Street in the long vacant Thompson’s Dairy site in front of the New Lincoln Condominiums.  A brand new Subway Sub Shop has opened there with 2 more shops on the way. The Prince Hall Masonic Temple at 1000 U Street has undergone a major facelift with the help of a DHCD community block grant.  The gymnasium for the Garnet Patterson Middle School is slated to be rebuilt in late Spring after being condemned in the late 80’s during metro construction.  The gymnasium wall would be the perfect place to relocate the Duke Ellington Mural, which will need a new home when the construction starts above the Metro stop.

The Cardozo Shaw Neighborhood  Association  and Westminster Neighborhood Association have planted over 50 trees in the past two years with the help of the Urban Forest Council and Community Resources grants.  Logan Circle will be working with Community Resources this Spring and Summer to plant another 40 trees in the community.   The 9th Annual U Street Spring Clean-Up is scheduled for May 4, 2002 and we are expecting record participation and results.

All of this activity is underway as U Street, 14th Street, 9th Street and other areas are preparing applications for the ReStore DC, DC Main Street program that will focus private and public resources on the economic corridors with a focus on Historic Preservation and Small Business Development.  The community will be coming together in a series of meetings to put together the application all help is welcomed. If you would like to know more about the program you can go to the workshop February 15th, at Cada Vez 1438 U Street, 6-8:30 or you can find information at

Scott,

I was contacted by the MPD environmental unit last week regarding the dumpster
used by the Bohemian Caverans, 11th and U, which is constantly blocking the
alleyway behind their building.  They also pile up their trash in the alleyway
when the dumpster can't handle it or it is the wrong kind of trash to be put
into the dumpster.  They use the alleyway as if they owned it and have no
consideration that it is public space and needs to be accessible for all the
residences=business owners on the block.  They have also been cited and have
refused to pay the fines.  The MPD environmental unit is now thinking of closing
them down for several days to try to send them a message on good civic manners,
not to speak of a little compliance.

I am out of the country now, but if you get any hint of action let me know.

Dear Friends: I hope you saw today's Washington Post article on the new 164 compressed natural gas buses, which Metro/WMATA has bought largely for use in the District of Columbia. As a Metro/WMATA Board member, I was the original sponsor of this program some 18 months ago and worked hard to make it a reality. Of course, it was a team effort. I was especially pleased to work with the Sierra Club and Natural Resources Defense Council. Its a solid step forward for clean air, as well as providing relieve for those with respiratory ailments.<p>

I hope also its just a first step, as we continue to overhaul and replace the 1400 diesel buses in the system.<p>

Also as the Post reported, I was very pleased to see for my first time, seats that are "graffiti proof". I think that development bodes well for all sorts of public furniture.<p>

Please stay in touch. bests Jim Graham, Ward One Councilmember
