Halloween Comes Alive!by Mark Pattison

In Shepherd Park, we celebrate

Halloween three ways!

One way is a house and pumpkin decorating contest. You can nominate your house, your pumpkins, or both. The only prize is neighborhood bragging rights. We’ll also need judges to prowl the neighborhood to judge the best – and the funkiest – entries.

Another way is with the trick-or-treat address list. Are you giving out treats on Halloween? Then give yourself a fighting chance to empty that bowl by putting your house on the address list. To get your address on the list, email Mark Pattison at [email protected]. Use the same address if you want to be an entrant, or judge, for the decorating contest.

The biggest and best part of Halloween is the Halloween Parade at Shepherd Field (if community center construction renders the field unavailable, consult the listserv for the alternate site). It’ll be held on Halloween – Thursday, October 31 – with two parades back-to-back. The first, for children in first grade and younger, starts at 6 pm sharp. After that’s over, kids in second grade and up have their turn to walk a lap on the

Shepherd Field track – with treats and glow sticks to get each child’s evening started. Grown-up help is needed for the most intensely fun half-hour in the neighborhood. Get in touch with Mark if you can pitch in.

Did you know that Walter Reed is in the SPCA membership area? Thus, today, our active and diverse community

includes Shepherd Park, Colonial Village, North Portal, and Walter Reed. By the end of the year, we may have dozens of new neighbors as the first residents move into Abrams Hall at Walter Reed, with more to come in 2020. We all have the access (and challenges) of city living with all the accoutrements of living in the suburbs -- open green space, peace, and, depending on where you live in the community, quiet and tranquil nights.

As a member of this well-established community, you can be part of our community’s welcome wagon. Why? Because

they figuratively will be the new “kids” on the block, and we have a vested interest in making sure that they understand our history, values, and culture, and know why we do what we do. Invite them to our SPCA activities and events, social media sites, and yes, tell them about the listserv! As SPCA president, I invite you to be open to learning something new from them! Allow their stories and experiences to be additive and not replace the rich fabric of our community. Most of all, share your stories with them and make sure that they know why our hearts and minds will forever love living, working, and playing in the ‘Park!

SPCA and Brightwood Link for Community Sale

by Cynthia Prather

Neighbors display their wares at the first joint Shepherd Park Citizens Association/Brightwood Community Association Yard

Sale.

Previously a springtime event, this year’s annual yard sale

was held September 7-8. SPCA collaborated with the Brightwood Community Association for this fall sale, thus including neighbors from Brightwood, Shepherd Park, Colonial Village, and North Portal Estates. With 60+ families participating, this could very well have been the largest community yard sale in Washington, DC!

The agenda for the May 14 community meeting included reports about community activities as well as SPCA

business.Gabrielle Priest, from the Office of the Mayor, reported on

the Mayor’s Affordable Housing Conference, the DC Micro Transit, a free circulator bus route (visit www.dccirculator.com for details), and the Ward 4 Great Streets awards. Steve Periconi, Manager of the new Target, welcomed us as invited guests to the store, fielded questions, and distributed coupons!

President Naima Jefferson provided updates on SPCA’s proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, the summer outdoor movie night, a scholarship workshop, and the upcoming DC Main Streets grant program. She also reported that SPCA has updated the website and obtained a storage unit for the various SPCA materials. It was noted that the SPCA picnic date of June 23 conflicted with Brandon Todd’s annual Ward 4 Fun Day (unfortunate, but could not be changed). The budget was reviewed.

Finally, the association held elections for the 2019-2020 program year. (See p. 2 for the list). Thanks to outgoing board members, Bonnie Randolph, Yvette Pearson, Stacey Lincoln, John Goodloe, Derek Musgrove, and Stacie Dennis and welcome back to Ed Atkins. Note that there are still a few vacancies. If you are interested in serving on the board, contact Naima Jefferson.

As always, thanks to Tim and Kelly Shuy of Ledo Pizza for pizza!

SPCA August Special Meeting Focuses on

Time-sensitive Issues by Cynthia Prather

SPCA’s special membership meeting on Tuesday, August 27 was one of two special called meetings to address

time-sensitive community issues. Representatives from Lowell School presented plans

for installing signage along the perimeter and throughout the interior of the school campus to improve traffic flow, particularly during morning drop-off and afternoon pick up. Neighbors asked questions about the proposed size of the signs, lighting on the signs, and placement in the public right of way. In addition, some neighbors requested more consideration for nonschool neighborhood traffic. SPCA members voted to support Lowell on this proposed project, with the understanding that the signage will comply with relevant DC requirements.

Neighbors also heard a presentation from representatives from Quilox Restaurant (formerly Cheers), at 7303 Georgia Avenue, who have recently applied for an Alcohol Beverage Regulation Administration Class C restaurant license. Neighbors shared concerns about a number of issues, including previous infractions for serving alcohol without a license, staying open beyond the hours listed, and various actions that seem more in line with a bar or lounge than a family-oriented restaurant. SPCA members voted to oppose Quilox’s request for a liquor license. Naima Jefferson explained the process for opposing such a request and encouraged SPCA members to attend hearings on Nov. 6 to support the opposition.

June Garden Tour Brings Memories, Delights

by Alexander Kincannon

Lowell School’s 20th Anniversary in Shepherd Park! by Angela Martin and Beth Allaben

Thanks to all who joined SPCA for this year’s

tour on June 2, which was dedicated to the memory of two wonderfully talented gardeners and neighbors: Joseph Watkins and Corinna Posner. Both generously shared their gardens and expertise with the community. They will be missed. For this year’s event, a possibly record-breaking turnout feasted on some truly exquisite oases. The dedication and deep knowledge of our garden tour hosts were truly awe-inspiring! Visitors also witnessed a local bee hive in action, and learned about urban wildlife from Jim Monsma of City Wildlife and about the DC FrogWatch program from DOEE volunteer Jane Mandelbaum. We extend our sincere thanks to our hosts and special guests. Thanks also to our business sponsors: Annie’s Hardware, Complete Lawn Care, Peter Frias/John Formant Realty, Lee Goldstein RLAH Realty, Harmony Ponds, and Stonework by Flavio. Finally, thanks to our neighborhood volunteers: Ed Atkins, Matt Chambers, Patrice & Quincy Dixon, Paula Edwards, Zara Sadler Ellis, John Folger, Naima Jefferson, Mark Pattison, Sam and Cynthia Prather, Maryann Sewell, Rick Toye, and Ryan Waddy.

The Lowell School celebrates its 20th anniversary in Shepherd Park and

a new Head of School this year. Donna Lindner arrived this summer as Lowell’s 5th Head of School. Although she grew up in Colorado, Ms. Lindner has strong ties to the DMV, with family members in the area and as a University of Maryland alumna (she also holds a master’s degree from the University of Pennsylvania).

After teaching in Maryland and Pennsylvania public schools, Ms. Lindner served as Assistant Head of Lower School at The Haverford School and Director of the Lower School at The Agnes Irwin School. The mother of two college students, Ms. Lindner and her husband live in Northwest DC. In addition, she is an avid knitter and a hiker.

“What drew me to Lowell was Lowell. It is known nationally for the work it does with diversity and justice,

which couldn’t be more necessary at this time in history.” Ms. Lindner pointed out that after a student survey that showed two top student concerns were gun violence and climate change, the school developed a humanities unit about climate change, leading to partnerships with local, regional, state, and national agencies and organizations. Additionally, Ms. Lindner noted, “I believe in understanding history because it informs who we are today, and in reading about

the history of the Shepherd Park neighborhood, I realized that, like those neighborhoods that make up the SPCA, the founders of Lowell believed in paying intentional attention to being an inclusive community.”

Ms. Lindner looks forward to continuing the Lowell School’s history as an active member of the community and good neighbor for another twenty years!

Ms. Donna LindnerLowell Head of School

Shepherd Elementary School started the school year

with a new interim principal. After Principal Jade Brawley announced her departure at the end of the school year, over the summer DCPS announced that Phyllis Hedlund would join the school as interim principal for the 2019-2020 school year. For the last 5 years, Dr. Hedlund served as the Chief Academic Officer at E.L. Haynes Public Charter School. She brings extensive experience as an educator, having been a teacher and a principal in elementary, middle, and high schools. With an MA and EdD from George Washington University, she is thrilled to be back in a traditional public

With the ending of summer, we

Thanks to Behnke’s Nurseries, Co., who even in its last weeks, provided the quality service and community discount provided in previous years; Tim and Kelly Shuy of Ledo Pizza for hosting, planting, mulching, and soliciting business support; Concerned Neighbors, Inc. (CNI), for a $100 donation; neighborhood planters Claudia Anyaso, Jackson Carnes,Tommy Duren, Paula Edwards, Jonathan Emerson, John Folger, Juan Guzman, Naima Jefferson, Stacey Lincoln, Marty O’Rourke, Iris Parks, Sam Prather, and Doris Spruell; and to Alisa Molyneaux and the Upper Georgia Ave Clean Team (Chris Crim, Tyon Nichols, and Dante Wilkins).

school system. All three of her children attended DC public schools.

Dr. Hedlund has been motivated by increasing equity and building connections among students, their families, and school throughout her career. She notes, “Tracking and other adult-made structures limit opportunities that should be boundless because of school, not in spite of it.”

When asked about her priorities for this year, she said, “I want students to feel like they can do anything, that we expect the best from them as a matter of course, and that they and their community are reflected in their work.”

Dr. Hedlund plans to encourage students to take chances, to support one another, and to want to come to school and have fun while they are here. And she knows from her career as an educator and as a parent that families are a school’s best partners!

SPCA Picnic: A Tradition Like No OtherArticle by Beth Allaben, Photos by Beth Allaben and Cynthia Prather

No, not the tradition of the Masters golf tournament, but the SPCA Annual Community Picnic! Chair John Folger

did a fantastic job combining longtime picnic traditions with some new ones – including the inaugural paella cookoff! Neighbor Pablo Izquierdo took the honors as 2019 paella champion of Shepherd Park, but who will challenge him next year? Congratulations to Denise Grayan of Shepherd Park Christian Church, who won this year’s “door” prize: two Nationals tickets!

A huge shout out goes to the Lowell School, our host for the 17th consecutive year, and for the wonderful Lowell staff who helped us throughout the day.

We couldn’t have done it without our volunteers: the entire SPCA board, Margaret and David Albamonte, Beth Allaben, Ginia Avery, Stephanie Benton, Matt Chambers, Jason Cohen, Fern Collins, Robert Corbitt, Deborah Cowan, Patrice and Tony Dixon and their children, Liz Gholston, Joan Hoyte, Desire Husbands, David Jefferson, Geraldine Jennings, Stacey Lincoln, Liz McNichol, Iris Parks, Sam and Cynthia Prather, Ryan Waddy, Veronica Walker, Sam and Gwen Washington, and Tanya Wright-Nelson. Many thanks as well to Ohev Shalom and Rabbi Shmuel Herzfeld, Maharat Ruth, Sarah Gershman, and

David Gillers for managing the kosher table for our neighbors – and thanks to any volunteers we may have missed!

We also owe huge thanks to our sponsors, who supported the picnic in many ways: Brenda Mejia/Compass, Children’s National Medical and Innovation Campus, CREATE Arts Center, Creative Ways Therapy, DC Fire and EMS Engine 22 and Truck 11, East Rock Creek Village, Georgetown Landscaping, Hines Urban Atlantic Triden, Kris Nelson/Compass, Ledo Pizza, Morris Miller, MPD 4D, Rock Creek Sports Club, Scope Property Management, Shepherd Park Christian Church, Step Ahead Cleaning, Sunrise Senior Living, and Target.

Thanks, too, to our elected officials and their staff members who stopped by: Mayor Muriel Bowser and daughter Miranda, Ward 4 Councilmember Brandon Todd, Ward 4 School Board Member Frazier O’Leary, ANC4A02 Commissioner Stacey Lincoln, ANC4B02 Commissioner Erin Palmer, Gabrielle Priest, Mayor’s Office on Community Relations and Services for Ward 4, and Jasmin Benab, Community Outreach Specialist for the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice. At-Large Councilmember Robert White was traveling but sent his greetings.

SPCA Recognizes Community Service

Status Report compiled by Cynthia Prather and Mark Pattison

(based on information from the DC NorthStar May 4, 2019 blog, and the DGS website)

Commuters Welcome the Reopening of Wise

Road by Cynthia Prather

One of the picnic traditions is to honor those who have supported our neighborhood with our Community

Awards. If you see any of these neighbors or businesses, please express your congratulations.

• Business Supporter of the Year: Behnke’s Nursery

• Neighbor of the Year: Ed Aktins, Paula Sanderlin Dorosti, and Kelly Shuy

• Community Service Award: David Inoue, Eddie Cordone, and John Folger

• Friend of Shepherd Park Award: Shepherd Park Christian Church

• Public Advocate Award: DC Bar Pro Bono Center

• President’s Award for Outstanding Service: Alex Kincannon

• Joe Hairston Lifetime Achievement Award: June Confer

What’s happening with the $13.4 million community center proposed as an extension to the recently

renovated Shepherd Elementary School? As you may be aware, the center is to include a gymnasium and multipurpose room, which would be used by Shepherd Elementary during school hours as their gymnasium and dining cafeteria, and would be open to the general public after school activities end at 6:30 pm. Along with the recreation center addition, the proposed project includes renovating the school’s existing warming kitchen and cafeteria to a full cooking kitchen and serving area. Construction was scheduled to begin in September, with project completion scheduled for fall 2020.

Plans for a Sept. 6 groundbreaking for the community center were scrapped, however, when those at a community forum held at the school over the summer complained about construction issues, noise, aesthetics, and proper notice. Ward 4 Councilmember Brandon Todd scheduled a meeting the first week of September with neighbors closest to Shepherd Elementary, and DC’s Dept. of Recreation and Dept. of General Services likewise pledged to hold another community forum the last week of September to clarify issues raised at the previous forum. No groundbreaking was contemplated until those meetings were conducted. For updates, visit the project website: www.dgs.dc.gov/page/shepherd-park-community-center.

Congratulations to the National Park Service for its on-schedule completion of the resurfacing of Wise Road,

NW, which connects Beach Drive and Oregon Avenue NW. Wise Road was reopened to traffic on Friday August 23, in time for the start of the school year. The last segment of the project — the repaving of Beach Drive from Joyce Road NW to Wise Road NW and to the DC/Maryland border, is scheduled to be completed this fall.

New Children’s National Sites to Open in 2020 by Beth Allaben

Co i n c i d i n g with its 150th

anniversary, the Children’s National Health System will open a new pediatric research and innovation campus in 2020 on the northern end of the former Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Initially, the entrance will be from Fern Street, but once the town center portion of The Parks at Walter Reed opens in 2021, the primary entrance will be from Dahlia Street, which connects Alaska and Georgia Avenues.

The property acquired by Children’s includes three buildings and an above-ground parking garage. The former Armed Forces Institute of Pathology will house the Center for Genetic Medicine Research, including the Rare Disease

Institute. This building will also house Johnson & Johnson’s 13th JLABS innovation incubator. A former medical ward building will offer outpatient primary care and genetic services and bring much needed pediatric clinical services to the community. The former theater on the campus will remain an auditorium for educational and community events. All patients, staff, and visitors will use the renovated parking garage, which has a solar array on the top. Construction inside the three buildings began in April 2019, with exterior work starting this summer and completion scheduled for late 2020. Project Director Irene Thompson says, “This is a very exciting project that will bring new life to buildings that have been empty for quite some time.” She can be reached at (410) 971-9676 or [email protected]. Also opening in 2020 is Children’s new specialty care clinic in the old Takoma Theatre at 4th and Butternut Streets, NW. This facility will offer pediatric hearing and speech, outpatient psychiatry, psychology, neuropsychology, and developmental services.

Coolidge HS & Wells MS Celebrate New Beginnings

by Christopher Alexander

August 24th was a

historic day for Ward 4! City officials, residents, educators, and hundreds of alumni gathered to celebrate the opening of two new school buildings. After a two-year hiatus, the students and teachers of Calvin Coolidge Senior High School returned to a fully modernized school. We also witnessed the birth of the Ward’s second stand-alone middle school, named after pioneering activist, Ida B. Wells. Neighborhood students have a clear pathway to college

and career readiness. This $158 million investment in the future of our children will make our community an even greater place to live, work, and play.

SCOPE Property Management: Focusing on Program Housing

Scope Property Management7416 Georgia Ave NW #3Washington, DC 20012(202) [email protected]

It’s a short walk up to

the second floor office of SCOPE P r o p e r t y Management, a full-service rental leasing and property management company for homeowners and investors. Established in 2002, the company moved to 7416 Georgia Avenue last July and finds this

area a “perfect” location. In a city awash with property

management companies, what distinguishes Scope Management is its focus on affordable housing options and a desire to help people in the DC Metropolitan area find housing. “We consider ourselves experts on program housing in DC,” commented the energetic multi-tasker, Miesha Suber, Director of Operations. “We show landlords and potential tenants how to access the different housing programs.”
