President’s MessageSince becoming president, I have attempted to

broaden the activities GCCA is involved in to include

issues beyond our specific physical boundaries. Over

the last several decades that I have been active in

GCCA, we have learned that many issues that affect us

also extend throughout all or part of our county. To

address those concerns, we need to work with others

toward a common solution. Thus the annual report in-

cludes not only issues within GCCA boundaries but

also those of the broader community.

I have recently learned that Permitting Services

does not notify the local citizens’ association when

they are considering stormwater run-off from a prop-

erty being proposed for new development. Even if the

development must be reviewed by the Planning Board,

Permitting Services acts on the application before the

Planning Department notifies us. Only affected down-

hill neighbors are notified. Since many of the prob-

lems we face with development relate to stormwater

run-off, please let me know when you receive such a

notice.

I want to thank all the Executive Board members

for their many efforts:

- Ed Wetzlar and Dave Michaels for taking meeting

minutes

- Connie Morrow for handling our finances

- Nancy Laich for being our Clarion Editor and Dave

Michaels for handling the advertising and web site

- Sylvia McPherson and her team for helping to

make Colesville attractive (planting flowers, etc.)

- Dave Michaels for working to get our destroyed

Colesville sign replaced.

- Nancy Laich, Janet MacNab and Dave Michaels

for making the annual meeting a success.

- Dave Michaels, Chuck Lapinski, Fred Pulliam, and

Ed Wetzlar for participating in the Nominating Com-

mittee.

- All the other dedicated people listed in the annual

report.

Many Board members have been active in other

ways and their efforts are appreciated. While separate

from GCCA, the Strawberry Festival has two active

GCCA Board members: Cindy Lapinski (Chair) and

Rosina Mason. Thanks to Cindy, Rosina and others in

that group who work long hours to make the Straw-

berry Festival such a successful community event.

There are many vacant positions on the Board and

many other issues we could be involved in. I encour-

age you to join the Board, or at least begin to get to

know us by attending GCCA meetings.

Lastly, I would like to thank the Episcopal Church

for letting us use their community building for free for

the annual meeting and monthly meetings. Because of

renovations underway at the Colesville Presbyterian

Church, our monthly meetings are now being held at

the Episcopal Church, at least until July. The Board

meetings are open to everyone so join us on the first

Monday of each month at 7:30 PM, unless it is a holi-

day. For meeting locations after July, please contact

me. We often don’t meet in August, but that is subject

to what business we need to address.

It’s Time for the Colesville Strawberry Festival

The 27th annual Colesville Strawberry Festival will be held on Saturday, May 21 at the old

Colesville Elementary School on the corner of Hobbs Dr. and New Hampshire Ave. Rain or shine,

the festivities begin at 10:00 am and wrap up at 4:00 pm.

Cindy Lapinski is the chairman this year. She and her husband Chuck have been working tire-

lessly for the Festival ever since its inception in 1983 by Ned Bayley and Ed Bender. She is looking

forward to a vital, fun-filled event. The Festival is meant to be a neighborhood party and has not

been organized to raise money. However, any profits are given to The Colesville Council of Commu-

nity Congregations (C-4), a non-profit charity that provides free clothing, school supplies, holiday toys

and baby supplies to needy families in Montgomery County.

Springbrook students are an invaluable addition to the Festival committee. At a recent planning

meeting, four enthusiastic students volunteered to recruit other students who will help set up and take

down tables and chairs, work the games, sell strawberries and other tasks. The students will receive

credit for their Student Service Learning hours.

The committee is asking for help. If you are interested please contact Cindy Lapinski at 301-384-

0392, or Rosina Mason at 301-384-6651.

GCCA has been involved or is just getting started in the following activities:

- Dan Wilhelm has recently been appointed to the Science Center Master Plan Citizens Advisory Committee

(CAC), which is looking at the area south of Cherry Hill Road, east of US29, north of Northwest Branch and

the Beltway and west of the county line. The main focus will be the commercial and employment areas includ-

ing the White Oak Federal Research Center, planned relocation of Washington Adventist Hospital (to be built in

back of Target), the old WSSC site for a life science center, Percontee property, and the National Labor College.

The CAC is composed of 23 people and for the first time that we are aware, it includes nine business people.

- GCCA representatives attended a ground breaking ceremony for the White Oak Recreation Center on April

Lane. Many of us supported this for many years as a needed facility for the 5000+ high-rise and garden apart-

ments east of US29. A number of GCCA members worked for this over the years with Adrienne Lees being the

most active.

- Several people on the Board frequently attend the East County Citizens Advisory Board meetings on the

first Wednesday of each month. While we don’t have any representative on that Board, attending the meetings

is a way to learn what is happening in our area.

- Our public safety committee attends the Ida Sector (District 3) police meetings, which occur every month or

two. The committee members are actively involved with District 3 (approximately south of Randolph) and

District 4 (approximately north of Randolph). There is increased crime in our area, especially along US29. We

all need to be the eyes and ears for the police, so report any suspicious activities. The Public Safety Committee

consists of Ed Weiler, Otto Lewis and Bob Bartol

- GCCA has three people who formally represent GCCA as delegates with the Montgomery County Civic

Federation (MCCF). MCCF is a coalition of citizens associations who address county-wide issues. Dave

Michaels, Bob Bartol and David Shaw are our formal representatives. Dan Wilhelm is a past president of

MCCF and accordingly automatically a delegate. He is currently Legislative Chair, Database Chair and repre-

sents MCCF with the Committee for Montgomery (CfM) and on the County Executive’s Transit Task Force.

- Bob Bartol is GCCA’s representative to the Committee for Montgomery (CfM). CfM is composed of 40

people representing various groups (civic, labor, education, business and non-profit) who work with our 32

County Delegates and Senators to address legislation for the benefit of Montgomery County.

- GCCA participated in a Road Side Solicitation Task Force to address the issue of people soliciting money

from vehicles. GCCA views this as a serious safety issue. Ed Wetzlar and Adrienne Lees have been the pri-

mary people involved in this effort.

- GCCA supported the County Executive’s effort to address zoning enforcement issues by testifying and en-

couraging Council action on two bills and two zoning text amendments. The GCCA annual meeting in May-

covers the resulting legislation.

- We had guest speakers talking about housing code enforcement and parks.

- GCCA has actively supported the relocation of the Adventist Hospital to the property behind Target. Adri-

enne Lees and Dan Wilhelm are members of an advisory committee focusing on the time after the hospital ob-

tains its Certificate of Need from the state.

- GCCA has been actively opposing the Accessory Apartment application (S-2798) on Northwyn; Bob Yeck

led that effort.

- GCCA is also helping the homeowners on Springloch address the stormwater problem from the proposal to

build a church at 520 Randolph Road (next to the Mormon Church).

GCCA 2010 - 2011 Annual Report

The Valleybrook neighborhood sign was recentlylandscaped to improve the look of the main entrance

at Valleybrook Dr. and New Hampshire Ave. Addi-

tionally, a curb will be installed in July for only the

first house from New Hampshire Avenue so that grass

Valleybrook Entrance Beautification can be grown without having cars and trucks run over

it.

Your help in mowing and keeping the landscaping

around each residence is appreciated. It takes a com-

munity effort by all to make an attractive looking

neighborhood.

JUST SAY NO TO ROADSIDE SOLICITATIONby Ed Wetzlar

Over the last several years GCCA has been at the forefront in the effort to regulate roadside solicitation.

Some years ago, District 14 Delegate Anne Kaiser had success in getting a bill passed that banned anyone

under the age of 18 from roadside solicitation. During the 2009 General Assembly session, GCCA supported

District 20 Senator Jamie Raskin’s bill to limit the practice by creating a permit system. Despite GCCA’s at-

tempts to negotiate with the lobbyist from the Montgomery County Career Firefighters Local 1664 to resolve

differences, the measure was blocked in the Montgomery County Delegation by the Firefighters.

In 2010, County Executive Leggett commissioned a “Roadside Solicitation Task Force” to study the issue.

GCCA was a member of the task force. More recently, during this legislative session, a bill to give our County

Council authority to create a permit system was introduced by District 14 Delegate Anne Kaiser at the request

of County Executive Leggett. An amendment, supported by the majority of the County Council, was offered to

provide an option of additional authority for Council to enact a full ban. Prior to a vote in the Montgomery

Delegation on the amendment, Delegate Kaiser withdrew the legislation.

Now, Councilmember Phil Andrews, supported by Council President Ervin and Councilmember Rice, has

introduced County legislation (Bill 12-11) to prohibit County employees from soliciting from occupants of ve-

hicles while standing on a median or roadside—WHILE “ON THE CLOCK.” Since 2007 when County Execu-

tive Leggett issued an Executive Order, the Montgomery County Career Firefighters have been soliciting on our

roadways for charity while “on the clock”.

This bill is a first step. At least employees — while being paid by the County — would be prohibited from

this dangerous activity. It would not cover any off-duty, or retired employees. GCCA is supporting this bill.

Our reason is Safety! Safety! Safety! People—especially while “on the clock”— darting between cars to col-

lect money at intersections are a danger to drivers and defies common sense. Drivers are distracted, diverting

their attention while fumbling through their purses or pockets for money. There have been documented acci-

dents in other states. We teach our children not to run or play in the street.

Those who collect for charity on medians and roadsides, walking between cars create traffic backs ups and

unsafe situations. We need not trade safety in favor of fund raising. We can have both by simply using many

alternative safe locations for groups wishing to raise money.

Most non-profits and social service agencies prefer that their homeless clients do not solicit on the roadside.

Many feel that roadside solicitation is enabling of destructive habits, such as alcohol and drug abuse. Panhan-

dlers do not take advantage of our county’s social service support to improve their situation as long as they are

permitted to panhandle at intersections. Montgomery County residents have a long history of supporting chari-

ties and our most vulnerable citizens. In fact we may be helping them more by banning roadside solicitation.

We can continue our strong support without compromising road safety.

What can you do? First and most importantly, do not give to roadside solicitors, and have a conversation

with your children as to the reasons for your position. Write or e-mail each of our Council members asking

them to support Bill 12-11. Please, follow this issue faithfully and encourage County Council and state legisla-

tors to regulate roadside solicitation. We can do our part to make our community safer.

And remember: Just say no to roadside solicitation.

Dear Community:

We are writing this letter jointly to support Washington Adventist Hospital’s plans to relocate and create a

comprehensive medical facility in White Oak, next to the U.S. Federal Food and Drug Adminstration headquar-

ters. The opportunity to connect in adjoining campuses the FDA with its oversight role for drugs, medical de-

vices and food with the community-based acute clinical services provided by Washington Adventist Hospital

presents a unique opportunity to enhance the role of both organizations.

In May 2010, FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg wrote a letter of support highlighting the Memo-

randum of Understanding the FDA had signed with Washington Adventist Hospital. In the letter, she noted that

having the hospital in White Oak “will complement the research and medical programs on the FDA campus.”

We heartily endorse Washington Adventist Hospital’s plan to relocate the hospital while also develop-

ing health and community services on its current Takoma park campus. In fact, we are going one step

further: we have committed our time as founding members of the Washington Adventist Leadership

Council that will provide advice and counsel to the hospital to enhance its clinical, research and public

health programs. Health care reform present opportunities to complement traditional clinical care serv-

ices with a renewed focus on prevention and community-based health programs.

Washington Adventist Hospital has a long-standing history of providing excellent community-based clinical

services and promoting good health with equal vigor.

As one of many examples that is meaningful to us and our work in health care, Washington Adventist Hospi-

tal led the way in helping individuals stop smoking well before the landmark Suregeon General’s report on the

dangers of smoking. The hospital and its physicians have led national and regional efforts to ban smoking on

airplanes, raise tobacco taxes to reduce smoking among teens and to ban indoor smoking in public places.

Complementing this focus on public health are a long list of services, classses and programs that help individu-

als lead healthier lives. This commitment to improving public health helped draw us to supporting Washington

Adventist Hospital

The opportunity to improve access to health care and to advance public health through the relocation of

Washington Adventist Hospital is something that cannot be missed.

Our annual meeting will consist of two topics: a short business meeting for the election of officers for 2011-

2012 and a program on “Being Good Neighbors.”

The Nominating Committee Chaired by Dave Michaels and including Chuck Lapinski Fred Pulliam, and Ed

Wetzlar are nominating the following officers for the fiscal year that begins June 1:

Nominations will also be accepted at the meeting.

The program is entitled: “Being Good Neighbors: Maintaining the Residential Character of County Neigh-

borhoods.” A presentation will be given by Patrick Lacefield, Montgomery County Information Office. He will

have representatives from the Department Housing and Community Affairs (DHCA), the Department of Permit-

ting Services (DPS) and the Montgomery County Police.

Montgomery County passed legislation last fall that addresses a number of problems that citizens have been

complaining about for years. The purpose of the program is to make everyone aware of the changes. Since many

are not knowledgeable about the prior law, the program will put the changes into context of what already ex-

isted. The topics include: home-based businesses, parking of heavy commercial and recreational vehicles, park-

ing off-street, and paving front yards.

A pamphlet can be found at www.montgomerycountymd.gov that summarizes the changes. Based upon prior pre-

sentations, there will be many questions and this is your opportunity to get answers. Join us at the meeting. Re-

freshments will be available before the meeting begins at 7:00 PM.
