President’s Message

For those new to the community, a great big welcome! GCCA repre-

sents much of the Colesville Community (see map later in this newslet-

ter) largely before different county agencies and to a lesser extent with

our state delegation.

We have many issues that we are dealing with at this time. People

from the neighborhood abutting Northwest Branch near Devan and

White Drives discovered in early July that the Parks Department was

changing the trail in the park. The change included encroaching upon

private property and disturbing sensitive wetlands in the process. The

neighbors, with GCCA’s help, got the work stopped. The Parks Depart-

ment reported at our September meeting on September 8, that an error

was made on their part, they were sorry for it, and have updated their

software and procedures to ensure it doesn’t happen again. We also

learned ways we can work with the Parks Department to improve the

Northwest Branch trails.

Neighbors on Midland Road learned that St Gregory’s the Great Or-

thodox Church has purchased the house at 13407 Roxbury Road and

plan to relocate there in about six months from their current site in a row

house in DC. Initially they plan on using the existing house, but their long

term plans are to build a new building as the church. They want to obtain

access off of E. Randolph Road and not have Roxbury as a through

street (half of it currently is a paper street). We have introduced our-

selves to them and plan to say in touch about their plans to fit into the

neighborhood.

We formed a communications committee to improve our ability to

communicate with the community. Their first step was to update the

GCCA web page. Take a look at it. If you have any ideas for improve-

ments, contact any of the committee members. The committee has also

set up a Face Book page. Thanks to the committee members for all their

hard work in this area: Fred Pulliam, Debby Mende, Bob Bartol, Paul

Daisy, Sharon Brown, Alcira Groomes, and George Ezikpe.

The GCCA Board has added six new people within the last year and

lost three members. Over the last year the following individuals have

joined GCCA: Paul Daisey, George Ezikep, Alcira Groomes, Sonia Jarl,

Debby Mende, and MikePersh. A big welcome to the new people! We

have four other people who are expected to join in the next month or

two. More importantly, they are younger than many of us old-timers! We

need younger people to get involved.

This past May, GCCA lost two of our longest serving board members, Rosina Mason and Ned Bayley. Their

combined service on the GCCA Board was over 90 years. Ned encouraged me to become involved in GCCA and served

as my mentor. Over the years, while driving with Rosina and Ned to and from meetings, each told me their stories and

opinions about past GCCA activities. I would like to share with Clarion readers a little of the lives and civic commitment

of these two leaders.

Rosina had multiple talents and interests. She was a docent at the Smithsonian Institution, a

Girl Scout leader, a gardener, a decorator, a teacher in the after-school program “Hands-On-Sci-

ence,” a Sunday-school teacher, a seamstress and an involved mother and grandmother. Moving to

Colesville in 1971, she soon became active in GCCA delivering “The Clarion” in her neighborhood.

She and Ned worked with GCCA to oppose an above-ground water tower, convincing the county to

bury the water storage facility underground. They then teamed to have the county build the small

Colesville Manor Park on the WSSC site on Notley Road. Rosina wrote and advocated GCCA’s op-

position to the ICC while serving on the East County Regional Services Center’s first Citizen’s Ad-

visory Board. Believing that the extension of Shannon Drive to Notley Road would benefit her

neighborhood, she worked to help make it happen. When several of GCCA areas on the west side of

New Hampshire Avenue requested county trash pick-up, several of us walked door-to-door to obtain

the necessary signatures. Rosina, being very practical, posted a sign in her front yard inviting people to stop and sign the

petition. She was equally successful in gathering signatures.

Ned loved to write. Throughout his life he wrote many poems and four books. The most noteworthy for our com-

munity was his 1997 work, “Colesville ”. Ned, Joyce, and their three children moved to Maryland in 1955 where he

worked at the Department of Agriculture’s Beltsville Research Station. He finished out his career as an Acting Assistant

Secretary of Agriculture. During our talks, Ned retold stories of local civic engagement. One story was about a group of

Colesville civic activists in the 1940’s and 1950’s. At that time, Notley Road was designated as an arterial road, and the

group worked very hard to successfully change that designation to primary residential. But according to Ned’s written ac-

count, “The issue that stimulated the origin of our association was the imminent introduction of sewer lines into the com-

munity” [pg 155p “Colesville”]. GCCA was incorporated in 1959, and Ned served as president in 1961-1962 and again in

1986-1987. He worked with a dedicated and committed GCCA Board. The organization’s testimonies at the Planning

Board and County Council, while sometimes successful and other times not, did have a strong influ-

ence in shaping and limiting the development of the New Hampshire Ave-Randolph Road intersec-

tion.

Ned’s vision of our community led him to be a driving force and a founder of the Colesville

Strawberry Festival, serving as the first Chair. Rosina was also a founder and served for many years

as Chair of the Festival Committee. Together they worked to grow and nurture to success this once

annual event, which for over 25 years was held in Colesville. The festival was a community-building

event that also produced funds and awareness for C-4’s charitable activities. Sadly, about 3 years

ago, the Colesville Strawberry Festival Committee was formally dissolved and the remaining funds

were contributed to C-4 and the local Boy Scouts. Ned reacted philosophically to the news. Rosina’s

interest in the Strawberry Festival continued. To the last, she hoped that Colesville would be home to

the event once again. The event does continue, but in a different form and in a different place. C-4,

with the help of Montgomery County, has held a Community Strawberry Festival for the past two years at the Good Hope

Recreation Center.

In advancing age, Ned and Joyce sold their home in Colesville and moved to Leisure World. After Joyce’s death,

Ned relocated to Riderwood. After leaving Colesville, Ned was still “on call” with newer, younger GCCA Presidents con-

tacting him for his sage advice. After his book on the History of Colesville was published, Ned was a featured speaker at

a GCCA annual meeting where he gave the area’s history from memory. It was a remarkable talk.

Rosina and Ned made a difference in Colesville and you can too, if you participate. Just call any

representative/officer listed in The Clarion and express your interest. Or show up to a GCCA Board meeting to find out

what’s happening and pitch-in.

As reported for several years, a number of citizens in the eastern part of the county have been working to bring about a

number of changes that will benefit those of us who live here. One change would provide more jobs for a wide range of

specialties and levels. We also want more nice restaurants and entertainment venues. Lastly we want to keep traffic con-

gestion from getting worse, and actually reduce it.

Achieving these objectives takes many years to accomplish. Below is a summary and update of our progress and a

glimpse of what is to come.

Adventist Hospital The Adventist Hospital currently located in Takoma Park is slated to relocate to a vacant property on

Plum Orchard Drive in back of Target off of Cherry Hill Road. The Hospital obtained all the regulatory approvals from

the County several years ago. The delay has been obtaining a Certificate of Need from the state. There have been multiple

reasons for the delay, but a major reason has been a change in how the state regulates hospitals. The new financial struc-

ture is aimed at reducing re-admissions and keeping people healthy over the long-term. The Adventist Hospital expects to

obtain state approval this fall and then break ground short after that. They plan to maintain medical services in Takoma

Park, but not a hospital.

The hospital will bring many jobs to our area. They also have an agreement with FDA so that FDA doctors can practice

medicine there and maintain their clinical skills. The doctors will also be using new medical devices at the Hospital to en-

sure they function as intended in a clinical environment. That will mean we will have access to the latest medical devices,

and that lessons learned there will lead to medical improvements that benefit everyone.

Life Science Village This is a 300 acre partnership between Montgomery County and Percontee on land at the County

line off of Cherry Hill Road at FDA Blvd. The County owns 115 acres and Percontee the remainder. This property is adja-

cent to the Adventist Hospital and the back side of the Federal Research Center, where FDA is located. Industrial Parkway

off of US 29 will be extended into this property. The original idea of the property was to house life-science businesses, but

that is only part of what is planned. It will also include housing, offices, retail, entertainment, nice restaurants, educational

institutions and a conference center. Percontee has obtained interest from companies in China, India, Israel, Europe and

elsewhere in the US in having a presence here so they can be close to and collaborate with the FDA to obtain approval for

new medicines and medical devices. This center will contain many jobs, not only for the life-science industry, but also for

those who work in all the other types of business identified above.

The White Oak Science Gateway Master Plan was approved in July 2014. This plan covered not only the Life Science

Village but the remainder to the industrial property by Industrial Parkway, the White Oak Shopping and Hillandale Shop-

ping areas, and previous labor college. Redevelopment in these areas is also expected.

Because the Life Science Village is a partnership with the County, the Council had to approve the material terms of the

General Development Agreement (GDA), which they did in June 2015. The County Executive and Percontee have to

agree on the remaining terms, which we hope will be complete by the end of September. After that, development and site

plans will be submitted to the Planning Board for review and approval. We hope that can be completed by early next

spring. Once approved the next step will be site grading, installation of below ground utilities and building/improving

roads in the area. While that is going on, they will obtain building permits for the initial set of buildings to be constructed.

It will take ten to fifteen years to build-out the entire project and that schedule will be driven by market demand.

Roads As part of County/Percontee partnership, a number of roads in that area will need to be improved. The County

hired a consultant to study a large number of intersections in that area and develop a recommendation of what changes

will be needed to support the White Oak Science Gateway Master Plan. The results of that study are expected this fall, but

the target date is not clear. The County will also need to decide not only the cost, but also who should be paying for each

improvement (County, State, partnership or other developer). That study will also include Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and

local bus service.

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) The Countywide Transit Corridors Functional Master Plan (CTCFMP) was approved and

adopted in December 2013. This plan contained 10 BRT corridors across Montgomery County, plus the Corridors City

Transitway (CCT) in Gaithersburg and other communities in that area. Corridor Advisory Committees (CAC) had been

underway for the CCT for some time, and CACs for the other five corridors got started on Feb 28, 2015. Four CAC meet-

ings have been held for each of the five corridors: US29 North, US29 South, MD355 North, MD355 South and Veirs Mill

Rd. These CAC meetings will continue until at least next summer. The studies underway are looking at planning and de-

sign issues. The design effort includes whether dedicated BRT lanes are possible and if so what the treatment will be used

for each segment (the treatments include 2 lanes in the median, 1 lane in the median, and curb lane).

President’s Message (Continued)

Those who left the Board are long-time member

Ed Wetzlar, who is moving to Columbia, and Ed

French,who has taken on other commitments. Also,

we were all saddened at the loss of Rosina Mason

who was such a champion of Colesville. There is a

separate article in her memory on page 3 of this

newsletter.

As you can see by the list of area representatives

on page 11, there are many openings. All are wel-

come to come to the meetings and get involved!

The GCCA Board meets the second Tuesday of

each month to hear from residents, address issues

that came up since the last meeting, discuss on-going

items, and conduct other business. We also regularly

have representatives from Valencia and Tamarack Tri-

angle Citizens Associations and Hollywood Park

neighbors in attendance which facilitates the entire

community working together. Our meetings start at

7:30 PM and are held as identified elsewhere on the

front page. All meetings are open to all in the commu-

nity. I urge you to attend!

If you learn about something going on that we

should know about, don’t assume we already know.

The two items above were brought to our attention by

community members. Please give me a call or send

me an email.

Transit Task Force (TTF) The County Executive concluded that the establishment of an independent transit authority (ITA) was the

best way in which to proceed with building, funding and operating the initial five BRT corridors. He then requested that the Mont-

gomery County Delegation in the Maryland General Assembly introduce legislation that would provide the legal authority for Mont-

gomery County to establish the transit authority, subject to certain requirements and limitations. The legislation (MC 24-15) was

introduced on January 23, 2015. When it became clear that this legislation would not be enacted in the 2015 session, the Executive

asked that it be withdrawn.

On April 6, 2015, the County Executive reconvened the TTF for the purpose of making recommendations to the Executive and

Council on how the previously introduced legislation could be improved. This round of TTF meetings began on April 22 and has met

at least once almost every week since. A draft report is available at the county website, www.montgomerycountymd.gov/transit-task-

force-2015/report.html, and a public Forum is scheduled for September 30. The final report will be submitted to the Executive and

Council the middle of October. The expectation is that the Executive will submit a revised proposal to the Council who will review

and take a position about what authority they wish the State Legislature to grant them. Assuming the Legislature grants that request,

the Council would then have the authority to enact local laws. That authority would likely be effective either July 1 or October 1,

2016.

The Council will next start its effort to create local laws governing ITA, BRT and their funding. A reasonable assumption is that it

would be approved by June 2017. Once approved, the changes must be put into place. The TTF has a working timeline for the five

corridors and CCT, which is called Phase 1. In that schedule, it shows the US29 corridor design (up to 30%) will be completed by

summer 2018, procurement and right-of-way acquisition by summer 2019, final design and construction mobilization by summer

2020, and construction completion by summer 2022. Many of us would like the various activities to take less time than that. CCT

Phase 1 is two years ahead of US29 (subject to the availability of funds), Veirs Mill Road is a year ahead, MD355 South a year behind

and MD 355 North three years behind.

The Council has added New Hampshire Ave (at least from Langley Park to White Oak) to the list of corridors to be studied. That

study effort should get underway this fall. The master plan calls for this corridor coming out to Colesville – the Park and Ride lot just

north of Randolph.

Development and Transportation Update (continued)

Updates on Senior Housing

There are two senior housing projects on either sideof the Cambodian Temple on New Hampshire Ave just

north of Notley Road. Special Exception 2881, on the

north side of the temple is for 113 units and 136 beds of

assisted living and memory care residents. The Hearing

Examiner issued a report to the Board of Appeals on Au-

gust 28 recommending approval with 15 conditions.

GCCA supported this application. It will reduce, but not

eliminate the existing storm drainage problems on the

west side of the property. After approval of the Special

Exception, the applicant will next need to obtain Prelimi-

nary Plan approval from the Planning Board and a num-

ber of other licenses and permits.

Special Except 2882, on the south side of the temple,

originally called for 148 independent living units. GCCA

supported the senior housing but questioned the size and

bulk of the building. At the Planning Board hearing on

May 28, the planning staff and Board were of the same

mind. The applicant asked for time to revise the applica-

tion, has since made some changes, and will present them

to the Planning Board on October 8. The changes in-

clude: a reduced number of units to 141; reduction of the

size of the front wing of the building from four stories to

three stories; redesign of the front wing so that it is

graded at a much lower level; addition of extensive land-

scaping; setting the parking back so that there is no need

for a variance; and a number of other smaller changes.

“We hold that people can again live in communities without turning into vigilantes or becoming hostile to one another” Amitai Et-

zioni.

I am so proud of my neighbors here in Greater Colesville, Maryland. I am speaking about an incident which took place earlier in

the summer where two young men were trolling the community requesting donations for a Charter Bus Rental to the Turkey Bowl

Classic in Florida. They went door to door with a flyer that read:

“We the White oak warriors have made it to the Turkey bowl classic in Florida. And we are trying to raise the money to rent a bus for

the trip to get every kid down there safely. We are taking any donations and is grateful for everything! We are up to 1000 already and

only need 500 more! We promise to do everything in our hearts to bring it all back to Maryland. Thank you for time and supporting

your home squad team white oak warriors. Checks can be made out to head COACH ANTHONY MAYEF

OR MAILED OUT TO WHITE WARRIOURS-11540STEWART LANE SILVERSPRING MD 20904 sweet C1”

Before I go on, take a closer look at exactly what they wrote, then count all the errors in grammar and context spelling. In addition,

the young men were collecting money on a Wednesday for an event that was alleged to take place the coming Saturday. These young

men ended up collecting hundreds of dollars from our trusting but skeptical neighbors. Upon attending a regular Greater Colesville

Citizen’s Association (GCCA) meeting, neighbors discussed and found that this activity was very suspect.

GCCA board members immediately contacted our Third District Commander Jones who assigned an investigator. With the help of

engaged neighbors he obtained 1) A description of the persons 2) a copy of the document from one of the suspects. 3)The cancelled

check from the bank of one of the victims, and 4) the date and time neighbors were accosted at their home. The 3rdDistrict investiga-

tor diligently worked the scam investigation calling upset neighbors, like CSI Crime Scene Investigation, and gave attention to all his

leads. Within a month, the 3rd District Police Department found and had subpoenas to search the suspects’ recorded dwellings. Later

the young men were charged.

As for our neighbors some were made whole through immediate counteraction and others, unfortunately gave away cash to crimi-

nals. Nevertheless neighbors please be aware of these to two things:

1. While the 3rd District and your Greater Colesville Citizen Association (GCCA) is available to help be alerted by this account,

Commander Jones urges us to call the station when you see or experience any trouble. This is further reinforcement for “When in

doubt, keep strangers out.” You're under no obligation even to answer the doorbell. If you do, never offer access to your home or wal-

let. Never provide answers to personal questions. Don’t be scammed! Be aware of scams!

The Federal Trade Commission states: “If you’re considering a request for a donation to a charity, do some research before you

give. By finding out as much as you can about the charity, you can avoid fraudsters who try to take advantage of your generosity.

Here are tips to help make sure your charitable contributions are put to good use. For more information, visit ftc.gov/charityfraud.”

Legitimate door-to-door vendors, including those collecting for charities, will usually have or "leave-behind" materials for your

review. It will be written and presented in a manner consistent with business etiquette. With a phone call or Internet search, you can

judge whether it’s legitimate. Another tip is, if you buy from a door-to-door seller and quickly regret it, know that federal law allows

you three business days to cancel and get a full refund on most purchases of $25 or more that are made in your home. Along with a

receipt, legitimate door-to-door sellers should provide you with a cancellation form. If they don't, assume it’s a scam.

2. You may or may not be liable for a check written for donation purposes. UCC 3-302 provides protection to parties who accept a

negotiable instrument, such as check cashing stores, with the following caveat:1. in good faith, 2. for value, 3. without notice that the

instrument has been dishonored or is overdue, and 4. without notice that the instrument contains an unauthorized signature or has been

altered.

If you can show that the check casher took the instrument with notice that it had a stop payment order, you may be able to take ac-

tion against their holder in due course status. The statute does not say “knew or should have known” the instrument has been dishon-

ored, but “without notice”. You need to prove that they “had notice”.

Notice could be services that are used to verify or authenticate payment. For example: if you are adamant about disputing it with

the check cashing company, investigate to see if this company had a check verification service “TeleCheck”, “Cross-Check”,

“VeriCheck” of some sort. They usually have a decal posted somewhere in view. Take a picture of it. The stop payment notice should

have been posted on the services they use to authenticate, you may have to actually prove that it was posted on these services. You

should be able to impute the knowledge from the service to the company. It is like receiving a letter and not reading it. You are still

imputed as knowing what is contained in the letter even though you chose not to read it.

If it was posted on a verification service that the check cashing company utilizes, that may be enough to eject them from their

holder in due course status. Getting your proof into trail may be difficult. You must have the correct evidence presented by the proper

witnesses. Consulting with an attorney, as always is highly recommended.

At the end of the day, we live in a community and need all of its membership (residents) engaged to maintain a safe and peaceful

environment for all of us.
