There is more to July 4 than justfireworks and barbecues. Cometo Potomac early in the morn-ing and race in the Autism

Speaks 5K run/1 mile walk and StrollerDerby. The hills of Potomac will aboundwith runners racing for the many children,young adults and families affected by au-tism. This year will feature a Stroller Derbyfor racers – and after the start is announced,walkers will enjoy ambling through the pic-turesque neighborhoods of Potomac.

For 15 years, 1,600 or more runners andwalkers have dedicated the morning of In-dependence Day to this fundraising event.By 8 a.m., they are gathered at the PotomacLibrary on Glenolden Drive en masse tosupport the 5K Run/1 Mile Fun Run forAutism Speaks — an organization thatraises awareness as well as research fundsfor the many children and families that areaffected by autism. One is 68 children inthe U.S. is diagnosed with autism — a 30percent increase from one in 88 in 2012 anda 75 percent increase in the last 5 years.

The founder of the Autism Speaks 5Kevent is Susan Pereles of Potomac. She isthrilled that the race has become a PotomacJuly 4th tradition. “I am pleased that thenumber of racers increases each year, more

than 100 teams participate and we wereable to raise $285,000 for autism researchlast year. Our incredible presenting spon-sors, BOWA and PMGI help to make thisrace so successful along with the many othersponsors who support us year after year.However, this year the race falls on a Sat-urday, which means that many of our usualparticipants are not available, due to othercommitments. I’m hoping that Potomac arearesidents will make a special effort to comeout to support our cause,” she said.

“Anyone who is not able to come to the

race can participate in our ‘Virtual 5K.’ Justregister and support the cause from thebeach, the mountains or from anywhere youhappen to be. Last year, people registeredfrom London, Afghanistan, Kosovo andHawaii. You can sleep on your couch or runon a treadmill. Whatever you do, you willbe helping our cause,” she added.

Pereles was motivated to create this 5Kbecause her nephew was diagnosed withautism at an early age and to go to workfor Autism Speaks where she is a directorof Field Development. Her nephew is now

a teenager, and his parents are looking atoptions for transition, employment andhousing for him as he becomes an adult.

A report by Drexel University titled “Na-tional Autism Indicator’s Report: Transitioninto Young Adulthood” cites that “About ahalf-million youth with autism will enteradulthood over the next decade. Most willcontinue to need some type of services orsupports — even among the mostcognitively able. Some will enter college.Many will seek employment. Some may nothave the skills to do either.”

My mother’s dream was to builda romantic country inn in anatural setting on the land she

owned behind Old Angler’s Inn (OAI),” saidOAI owner Mark Reges. “However, she wasnever able to find the time to construct thischarming French country inn to share withothers as she envisioned it.”

Mark and Sara Reges are hoping to makethe dream of his mother come true by add-ing a wedding/event pavilion and four-room inn that would be consistent with thehistorical architecture of OAI while provid-ing an event space to the Potomac/Bethesdaarea.

“The tranquility of OAI would remain thesame but we would be providing a wed-ding/event facility — not a hotel, countryclub or restaurant but a lovely setting whichwill also offer four guest rooms next to theevent space,” said Reges. “OAI is located on

seven acres — and we are only requestingto use 2.9 acres, so much will remain thesame.”

The couple has been sharing their planswith family, friends and neighbors for awhile — but are now trying to make thema reality. They filed their architectural ren-derings with the Montgomery County Plan-ning Board in March 2015 and believe thehearing will be in the fall.

While some Potomac residents are in fa-

vor of the addition, some neighborhoodassociations, as well as the West Montgom-ery County Citizens Association (WMCCA)have voiced concerns that the pavilionmight increase traffic along MacArthur Bou-levard, the noise of the events could dis-turb the neighbors adjacent to OAI, and thedevelopment may ecologically endanger thetrees and plantings behind the OAI.

Mark Reges is also an attorney who hasresearched all of these areas of concern. “As

far as noise is concerned, we will be build-ing an indoor event room with a commer-cial kitchen and an office. There will be nooutdoor entertaining space. If we permit-ted a lot of noise, we would be ruining thepeaceful setting of OAI — and hurting ourown restaurant environment,” he said. “Thewedding/event pavilion will be 9,000square feet — smaller than many Potomachomes, and will hold up to 240 people. Itwill be located in a clearing above OAI andnot noticeable from MacArthur Boulevard.”

The couple has hired Middleburg Archi-tects, experts in historical design, to re-search the architecture of OAI and providerenderings that are consistent with thematerials and style of the restaurant.

As far as traffic issues and parking areconcerned, Reges said, “We are building 80new parking spaces on our property, soparking for events will not be an issue. Traf-fic is quite heavy on MacArthur Boulevardduring the morning hours when kayakers,hikers and walkers use the C&O Canal. Bik-ers are prevalent in the morning too. How-ever, most of our events will be held in theafternoon and evening when there is verylittle traffic on MacArthur. If anything, thearea behind OAI will be more manicured.

Annual Event Raises Funds for Autism ResearchFrom Page 3

or she is no longer eligible for services re-ceived since pre-school or before. The legalmandate for services ends with high school,and there is no federal requirement for pro-viding support services in adulthood; in-stead adults with autism must follow dif-ferent procedures for qualifying for anykind of transition services.

For years, research fundshave been dedicated to dis-covering the cause andtreatments for those on theautism spectrum. However,as youth enter adulthood,funds must be channeled tothe problem that is at handand in the future: how toprovide training, careers, em-ployment and housing for autis-tic adults. “This data brings the impor-tance of the race into perspective,” saidPereles. “The more money we raise, themore research can be done to solve theproblem that our nation is facing of how tobest help and support autistic youth as theyenter into adulthood. The needs are notgoing to go away — they are only increas-ing. Children grow up and autism doesn’tend with adulthood.”

Local resident Peggy Dillenberg volun-

teers yearly for the race. She is the parentof twin boys, one who is autistic. She said,“We are knee-deep in planning for my au-tistic son’s future. We will need to figureout where he will live and if there will besufficient adult services. Each autistic adultwill have different requirements becauseeach is different. My son will need one-on-

one support vocationally and in his liv-ing environment for the rest of his

life. He will require therapy,job skills training and to livein an environment wherehis needs are cared for. Ihave been told that inMontgomery County thewait list for these services

could be as long as 15 years.I worry about his future ev-

ery single day.”Marley Rave, director of the

Washington Capital Autism Speaks,said, “There is a tsunami of young adultswith autism coming of age. The face of au-tism is changing and we need to change thefuture for those adults. Families are saying:What happens now that the school bus stopscoming? No other 5K has had more partici-pants across the nation — or raised moremoney. However, the annual cost to a fam-ily of an autistic child is $60,000 a year —and how can most families support these

costs?Dillenberg also speaks about the impact

that Autism Speaks has had on her life. “Au-tism Speaks provides resource fairs, townhall meetings and information for parentsconcerning specific needs over the courseof a child’s lifetime. I have learned a lotabout how other families cope and the bestresources to meet my child’s needs. AutismSpeaks also lobbies for legislative action.Congress just passed the ABLE bill that aimsto ease financial strains faced by parentswith children with disabilities by makingtax-free savings accounts available to cover

qualified expenses such as education, hous-ing, and transportation. Now this law mustbe approved by every state. It is incrediblyimportant legislation. Most parents save forfour years of college for their children, butparents of disabled children must save fortheir child’s entire life. It’s daunting.”

Pre-registration for the 2015 AutismSpeaks Run/Stroller Derby/Walk is avail-able on-line at www.autismspeaks.org/autismspeaks5Kpotomac. Registration andpacket pick-up are available on July 4 from6:30-7:30 a.m. or at Fleet Feet inGaithersburg on June 27 from 1-4 p.m.

It will be exceptionally attractive and willhave no impact on the Canal.”

The new building will be constructed be-hind OAI in an open area. Some trees willbe removed and county drainage and stormmanagement requirements as well as envi-ronmental building requirements will bemet.

The couple is planning to invite membersof neighboring communities such as RiverFalls, Avenel, Woodrock and the BrickyardCoalition to open discussion meetings thissummer to learn about their proposedproject and to take them on a walking tour.They placed the renderings on the OAI pa-tio a few weeks go with a petition and havealready received 700-plus signatures in fa-

vor of their building project.“We need to be able to expand our busi-

ness model in order to stay in business forthe next generation and beyond,” Regessaid. “The restaurant business has becomemore and more competitive and withoutthese improvements and changes, we mightnot be able to stay in business. Sara and Iwant to preserve the dreams of my motherand turn them into a reality.”

Kermit WasWrong—It’sEasy to Be

Green!“Green” renovation is a trend that engi-neers, constructors and designers areencountering more and more each day.Going green is not only an ecologically awarechoice, but it is also one that is becomingeconomically sound, with many green reno-vations providing tax deductions andreduced energy costs, offsetting or negatingthe cost of their installation in immediateterms—and proving priceless over time, asgreen renovations reduce the harm of civili-zation on nature and ecology. Even luxuryhomes are going green, trying to help theenvironment and shaking off the image ofwasteful opulence that has dogged this nichemarket for years. Gone are the days of thegold-plated toothbrush holder—welcome tothe new world of eco-friendly, green luxury!Some tips that home owners are findinghandy are:

• Use CFL’s - Replace those incandescentlight bulbs with qualified compact fluores-cent light bulbs (CFLs). By replacing justfive of your mostly frequently used lightbulbs, you’ll save money and reduce green-house gas emissions by one trillion pounds!

• Plug Air Leaks - Air leaks are the biggestenergy waster in homes, but they’re also aneasy fix. Have decorative weather strippingand caulk installed to stop those drafts

• Program Your Thermostats – Save on yourheating and cooling bill while helping reduceemissions from your heating/a/c unit.

• Tune Up Your HVAC – Get a professionaltune up every two years and clean or replaceyour filter every month. Dirty filters blocknormal airflow and reduce the efficiency ofyour system.

• Go Low-Flow – Install low flow shower-heads and faucet aerators without sacrificingwater pressure. They’re easy to install too,just screw them on.

Bonus Green Tip: The average home emits27,000 pounds of carbon dioxide annually;almost three times that of a midsize sedan!Following these simple steps will reduceyour home’s emissions, your carbon foot-print, and lower your utility bill!

GoneBut AlwaysRemembered

As Father’s Day approaches, (writtenThursday, June 18th) I am reminded of one ofmy father’s standard lines which characterizehis positive attitude on life, for which I ameternally grateful – because I inherited it. Myfather would say that every morning that hewoke up was a good day. Ultimately, myfather would die a few months past his 87thbirthday, having lived longer than either of hisparents and his seven siblings. A child of theDepression, born in 1919, he spent his forma-tive years not playing Little League baseball asI did, but rather selling newspapers and hotdogs at Fenway Park in Boston. Upon hisreturn home, his mother would hold out herapron, into which my father would pour hisday’s earnings. At that time, life was not somuch an adventure as it was finding a job/wayto make money so the family could eat. Hismother/my grandmother worked for a caterer,and at the end of her day, she would bringhome remnants of her day’s/evening’s work:food that was discarded before the meal(chicken wings were not so highly regardedthen as they are now.) My father/the Louriefamily ate chicken wings often. And through-out his life, my father was happiest when eat-ing chicken wings. The experience did notweaken him; it seemed to make him strongerand more grateful for what good fortune fellupon him later in life. In fact, all he everwanted in life – aside from the obvious things,was “a hot meal and clean sheets.” Hisupbringing and the hardships he enduredseemed to simplify his life.

Another story he would tell – with a smile– was concerning the bathroom in the tene-ment building where he lived with his nineother family members: it was down the hall,outside of the apartment in which he lived.There was no toilet paper; toilet paper costmoney, money which they didn’t have. Therewere, however, catalogues (Sears, MontgomeryWard, etc.) that were mailed and thus werefree. Tenants would cut the pages into squaresand hang them in the bathroom on a nail con-venient to the commode. My father nevercomplained about this; they were too poor tocomplain. Occasionally though, staples werenot removed from all the squares.Unfortunately, my father, like many other resi-dents I’m sure, found out a bit too late. Iimagine there was some pain and suffering,but my father always laughed when he toldthis story, as much for others’ benefit nodoubt as it was for his.

And so too do I try to make people laughwhen I am asked to share my cancer stories. Ido this because my father always found thehumor in things. And before I realized what Iwas doing and/or why I was doing it, itbecame clear that unbeknownst to me, I hadbeen following a family tradition and one Iam most proud to be continuing. This is notto say that being diagnosed with “terminal”cancer is a wonderful opportunity to findhumor and attempt to make people laugh.Nevertheless, I’m not going to be negative.After all, I am my father’s son. Of that I’mpositive.

One of the other things I’m super-positiveabout was how helpful my father would havebeen had he lived to see me diagnosed withcancer. He would have been my biggestbooster, my 24-7 support staff, my unwaver-ing source of encouragement, my inspiration,my up whenever I was down; a man anyonewould be lucky to call dad; although I actuallycalled him “Beez,” the nickname given to himby his fellow knothole gang members (Benetwas his given name). Whatever good fortuneI’m able to experience going forward though,I’ll do so with gratitude and the acknowledg-ment that none of it would have happenedwithout having had the father I did and hear-ing about the life he led. Thanks for every-thing, “Beez.” I’ll see you Sunday.

in need of a bone marrow transplant. ThereGoes My Hero, a Baltimore-based organization,works to find a match for every leukemia pa-tient and assist their families through a vari-ety of support programs.

One of the There Goes My Hero programs iscalled “Swab a Hero. Be a Hero” which worksto save lives by registering people in the Na-tional Bone Marrow Registry so they can do-nate their bone marrow and save a life. Kayliesaid she started a club at school in support ofher friend, Sarah and her family because, “Ithought we could recruit a lot of new donorsthrough our Holy Child community. We havedone swabbing events at numerous Holy Childevents including Mayfield Market and TigerTrot. We had a senior swab day at Holy Childand we have reached almost 150 swabs.”

Kaylie was recently informed by Holy Child’sCampus Minister Jean Plummer that ElizabethSeton High School has a student named Carlywho is in desperate need of a bone marrowtransplant. Kaylie pulled together a swabbingevent that took place earlier this month. Joinedby fellow classmates Jenna Paro, Maddy

Schnider, Maddie Gessler, and Sarah Nesbitt,they swabbed approximately 65 people.
