The Echo 1

Police ReportThe meeting opened with a presentation from Captain Dave Falcinelli, Commander of the Second District Station in Bethesda from the Mont-gomery County Police De-partment. Council Member Stiglitz, who sits on the police advisory board, invited him to attend the Council meeting to provide an overview of crime trends in our area. Capt. Falcinelli discussed several topics, including the benefits of body cameras, the opening of a new station building, and a pending agreement with the US Park Police that will give MCPD concurrent juris-diction over Glen Echo Park. Capt. Falcinelli noted that in the 2nd District, the primary crime of concern is property

theft from homes and autos, as opposed to person-to-person crimes. Capt. Falci-nelli encouraged everyone to keep their cars locked and to report suspicious be-havior when it is seen. The non-emergency number for MCPD is 301-279-8000.

Town BusinessAlexis Feringa, chair for the Mayor’s Advisory Commit-tee on Land Acquisition, discussed the process that the committee has under-taken to advise Council on the value of the Town’s vacant lots on Tulane Av-enue and also advise on the merits (and alternatives) of the land swap proposal made by Town resident and owner of 2 Vassar Circle, Aaron Hirsch. The Sep-tember issue of The Echo included an overview of this

process penned by Ms. Fe-ringa. Unfortunately, there seems to have been some misunderstanding among residents as to whether the committee meetings were open or closed to Town resi-dents. Ms. Feringa assured residents that while the first meeting was closed, subse-quent meetings, as meeting notices have stated, have been and are expected to remain open as they move toward providing a final set of recommendations to the Mayor and Town Council in early October. Ms. Feringa reported that each meeting has been attended by some interested Town residents.

Alex Boyar recently purchased (Council Mem-ber) Nancy Long’s prop-erty at 31 Wellesley Circle and plans to build a home on the site. He wanted to notify the Council of plans to remove several trees including the very large willow oak in the middle of the property. Mr. Boyar and

Mayor Polak and the entire Council were in attendance at the Town Council meeting on September 11. With

several guest speakers and more than a dozen residents, the venue was upstairs at Town Hall.

Next Town Council Meeting: October 9, 2017, 8 PM

Ms. Long have both had arborists assess the health of the willow oak and both concluded that it is diseased and needs to be removed. The Council requested that Mr. Boyar provide a written plan identifying all trees targeted for removal. While the Council cannot stop tree removal, Town ordinances require property owners to give the Town Council time to consider alternatives by providing 60-day notice for removal of trees greater than 10 feet tall or 4 inches in diameter.

The rest of the meeting was filled with a smattering of topics with no specific de-

cisions, including who should be the Town representative to the Glen Echo Park Part-nership for Arts and Culture, rules and possible fees for signage in the right of way along MacArthur Boulevard, and fees for Daisy meetings in the Town Hall.

Typically rain water is carried away from the

garden or landscape as if it is a waste product. Creat-ing a rain garden allows the water to stay on site and recharge the aquifer. Aquifers are geologic forma-tions occurring at various depths that transmit water to springs, wells, and some streams. They are like sponges in porous rock that have connected pores. These pores allow water to move through spaces. The water will percolate through the soil which causes the refill-ing of groundwater supplies.

By definition, a rain garden is a depressed area that is created as a place for excess rainfall to soak into the ground rather than run-ning into streets and storm water drains. Native plants and grasses should be used because they readily adapt to periods of extreme wet and dry conditions. Wisely choose plants that are tolerant of a wide variety of conditions. Rain gardens tend to be low maintenance and rich, lush habitats.

Storm water runoff is cre-ated when rain flows over the hard surfaces picking up chemicals, oils, and pol-lution along the way. Often the water comes over these surfaces so quickly that the soil is not able to absorb the water. Analyze your land by watching what the water does during the next heavy

rainfall. Where does it pool? Where is it running? How fast does the water drain after you dig a hole?

An excellent site for your rain garden is close to any rain runoff area—usually near downspouts, driveways, slopes or sump pumps. A rain garden should be at least 10 feet from founda-

tions and fence posts. Allow-ing the water to stay on site rather than being treated as a waste product has many benefits. These include cleaning the rain water by natural filtration, prevent-ing local flooding, lessen-ing pollution, and creating wildlife habitat for a wide variety of birds, pollinators, and beneficial insects. Best of all, you will not need to water frequently and this will enable you to enjoy your garden even more.

Montgomery County has fantastic benefits and resources available if you wish to create a rain garden. There are rebates, resourc-es, designs, as well as how-to videos. Go to this site: www.montgomerycoun-tymd.gov/water/rainscapes

In the long run, the objec-tive with rainfall is to slow it down and spread it out as a way to preserve clean rain water. Ultimately a rain gar-den is an incredibly attrac-tive way to create a heathy, easily sustainable garden that doubles as a wildlife habitat. —Holly Shimizu

The Vincent’s flew to Salt Lake City for an epic 16

person, 3 RV family trip to seven national parks. Over the course of two weeks we visited Canyonlands, Arches, Mesa Verde, Grand Canyon (North Rim), Zion, Bryce Canyon, and Capitol Reef National Parks. The trip included a quick stop at Four Corners Monument, rafting on the Colorado, a mule ride into the Grand Canyon, 112 degree days in Page, Arizona, and 41 degree nights in Bryce Canyon. —Bill Vincent

Here are our kids on a backpacking trip we did in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains.—Pete Epanchin

The highlight of the season for the Hoopers: We swam with stingrays and saw star-fish in Grand Cayman this summer. —Alicia Hooper

Here’s me with some chee-tahs during my recent trip to Zambia. With our daughter Riya at an age that makes it difficult to fly, our trips this summer have mostly been solo for work. Mona travelled to Mallorca, London, Charleston, Chicago, and Seattle. I went to India and Zambia. We did manage to do a family road trip to New York. —Ayan Kishore

Dave and I visited Glacier National Park in Montana!—Mickie Simpson

The Parsons-Amdur clan traveled to the family farm

in Oregon to experience the total eclipse. It was awesome! Other highlights included a Burning Man–style rave on the farm, and lots of local wine tasting. —Emily Parsons

We spent 4th of July in Lewes, Delaware. Here’s a photo of our son Mads en-joying ice cream in a Nor-man Rockwell–picturesque sort of way. Mads and his older brother Durke visited

music festival this sum-mer: Wilco’s Solid Sound in Massachusetts. We also hit up two great American ballparks: Fenway and Wrigley. Then the kids were off on a three week, qua-

druple grandparent adven-ture without their parents, including the family farm, the rodeo, White Sands, New Mexico, and all of the states from there to North Dakota. —Dan Spealman

S ince their arrival in January, the Bennett

family—Cab, Kate, and Tess —have been hard at work refreshing the interior of their new home at 6105 Bryn Mawr Avenue. They’ve finished work on the first floor, and look forward to tackling the second floor, basement, and (enormous) garage.

Kate works on CNN’s White House team, cover-ing the First Lady and the East Wing. A former glossy magazine writer and editor in Washington and Las Ve-gas, she spent years focused on lifestyle, fashion, and gossip. As a fourth-genera-tion Washingtonian, though, she’s had an interest in politics that dates back to the 1980s, when her parents ran Roll Call. She blends all of these interests at CNN, where she co-writes a daily email newsletter, CNN Cover/Line, that bal-ances hard news with pop culture, gossip, and fashion. She also writes for cnn.com and appears on the air.

One of the ways Kate has merged fashion with politics is her uncanny ability to identify designer items worn by politicians and members of their entourage—she describes herself as a “fashion savant.” In a recent newsletter, she identified the $1,400 blouse

the First Lady donned while harvesting vegetables with local children in the White House garden. I expect we’ll see plenty of Glen Echoans copying Mrs. Trump’s look at the town-wide yard sale next month!

Cab works from home in real estate development and lending. His flexible sched-ule offsets the long hours and unpredictability that comes with Kate’s White House beat. He’s been heav-ily involved in the ongoing renovation of their new

home and plays basketball.Tess, a seventh grader at

Pyle, plays soccer and bas-ketball, and is happy to be walking distance from good pals Audrey Bohi and Noey Sheldon.

Their family also includes Coco, a highly social dog (who was the first Bennett family member I met, when he popped in our open door on St. Patrick’s Day), and Cloudy, their indoor cat.

After several years of rent-ing in Brookmont, they are thrilled to be in Glen Echo and to have a home to make their own. —Angela Hirsch

The Echo 9

We all share life and death, of course,

and one we like a lot better than the other. At 84 I think of both often, and laugh! Science says we don’t know when we’re dead. Wait, I for-got, did I say science? When we get up every morning, a new day, a treasure, a chance to get something done. Uh oh, what was I going to do? Yes, as we age, short term memory is dodgy. Hey! Why did I come in here? Or wait a minute, did I turn the stove off? Funny? Ha!

Aging. Yes, smile: We’re aging, this is inevitable, even when we were little we were aging. Even in our thirties there can be changes: I can’t run as fast! How did I miss that lay-up? My knee hurts when I dance. Uh oh! Did I gain too much weight?

We humans started about 300,000 years ago, some say earlier than that. In those ancient days there was al-most no aging. If they lived to 30, they were considered geezers and blessed. Yes, in those old days, death could come fast every day: pre-dation, disease, child birth deaths, starvation, and all kinds of surprise violence! Natural selection then didn’t see any advantage in aging. There are big dan-gers now, but not like back then. Smile!

As the humans got smarter, civilization crept in slowly: cleaner water, defense against predators, shelters. Soon, smarter food

supply, farming and herding. Then came medication and sanitation. Even dentistry! As someone with bridges, I know how funny it is to laugh in the mirror with no teeth. I laugh!

Aging is a natural process, but the brain, science sus-pects, might have a shorter life span than the rest. Uh oh! The brain works like a library. Names of family and close friends are accessible easy. I’m sorry! I forgot your name! Funny. Not funny. In Glen Echo, I run into people I know and can’t remember their names, worse, some-times I can’t remember them or their names. My beloved

wife Martha remembers everything, even names. But then she is 11 years younger than me! Ha!

The folk singer, my hero, wonderful Pete Seeger lived into his mid-nineties writ-ing songs, playing the banjo, singing, and splitting fire wood to heat the country house that he built himself. We are all going to succumb to something. Old age is always coming, hopefully.

Another of my heroes, Pi-casso, was painting well into his nineties, the best. Georgia O’Keefe’s eyes were failing in her nineties, that didn’t stop her! Yes! She kept right on painting! I will too! When and

if I’m knocked down by any incurable, then listen, STOP! No antibiotics, no feeding tube, no IVs. It’s over. Hell no, it ain’t over, Hell’s where you’re going! Uh oh! Who said that? Funny? Maybe.

All over, many folks who are ambushed by the deadly end don’t want that hope-less grueling final, they ask for and insist on assisted dying. Everybody is differ-ent. My good friend Charlie Brock’s father spent his last six weeks in intensive care, yet wanted everyday to smile at the morning sun, to talk to relatives, to celebrate his last birthday. Cheers! And watch the Nats play. Me too! And he enjoyed vanilla milkshakes almost every day, and his grandson’s visits. He died soon after his 96th birthday party, he had a marvelous life!

Every day a surprise and a treasure. Eat well, and smart, and exercise every day, and take a vitamin D, and a baby aspirin, Mar-tha and I do. Or try! We go walking deep in the woods with our old dogs Beau and Ginger. Ginger is almost 18, in human terms well over a hundred years old, and she runs ahead of us. Mar looks at me smiling, saying, “When I’m 120, I’ll run ahead too!”

“Me too!” I say, falling, tripping on a tree root! Aging is tricky. Of course. Smile, be amused. But living is always great! OK, look out for roots. And, wait, who is that walk-ing down Wellesley? I laugh! —Joe Shannon“I’m sorry! I misdialed!” CARTOON BY JOE SHANNON

pate. Please add your spider any time starting October 20 and make it no larger than 18 inches in diameter so there will be plenty of room for all.”

Speaking of Halloween (and for new residents

you should know this is THE holiday of the year in Glen Echo), the pre-trick-or-treating party is on at Town Hall from 5:30–6:30 PM on October 31. Pizza and drinks will be served. Stacey Malmgren is looking for volunteers to help set up or clean up. If you can help, email townhall@glenecho.org

The annual Town Yard Sale is saturday, oct. 21. Basically, anyone who wants to participate can

set up their yard sale in their yard or at one of the pub-lic parks on University, and the Town will handle the promotion of the town-wide yard sale. The hours will be advertised as 9 AM–2 PM, and in the event of rain, the Town Hall will be used. One lesson we learned the hard way: Don’t put your yard sale stuff out on Friday, aka trash day, before Saturday’s sale, because it might end up at the dump!
