I Letters I Thiews at· Worlc:

I'm sorry to have to alert citizens and gardeners thai thieves are now slealina from gardens on Hamilton Place. They have· ~!olen twice, taking wooden walkway squares and cut a pie-shaped wedge out or a catnip bush. The thieves gain access to the Jarden by pulling down the netling/fencing, but are decent enough to put it back up after each robbery.

What's a little catnip and wood, you might ask. Not much, except taking somithing from another person without permission is theft. When thieves have 'uccess wilh small things, they graduate otHo big­ger and bcner things - calnip now, but maybe next time. something from your garden, or your yard or your car - along Hamilton Place or elsewhere.

The Greenbelt Police took my call seriously, recorded the lhefts. and will increase patrols in the area.

If by chance the thieves are reading this, I would like to say it is not neccs5ary to steal from me. I usually try to help any­one in need. If you need something, ask. There's a sign in my garden with my phone number on it.

No fo Annexation I stron81Y oppose the re­

quested annexatiOn by the city of the "Park~•de at Greenbelt" houses. The rc,idents say that !hey rhoughl !he new hou&CS !hey boughl were part of Greenbelt. We are not rejponsible for thei:­mistake or the way they were misled. Providing city services to this noncontiguous area would re­quire police patrols, snow re­moval crews, and other c1ty workers to go miles out of their way. wasting time and resources. It makes no more sense than an­ncxang part of Riverdale b«ause someone there wants higher prop­erty values.

Following this visit they continued their trek to the Greenbelt Museum. There they were given a special tour and slide show to see how children lived in 1he 1930s and 40s.

wriuen from City Moaoger Michool Mcl.ouplin's propooecl budaet for 1998-99 and mioulel of 1be city council's April 2 workae11ion on Greenbelt CARES ond milcell.,_. fUIIdo that were prepared by City Clerk Dovid Mona.)

AI .,._.... II a city council budget workaession on April 21

Gm:nbelt CARES is requesting additional funds to double its crisis intervention efforts with a second part-time counselor posi­tion. The Greenbelt Museum also sousht to lensthen the worlthoun of ito curator. And a1 the same meeting City Manager Michael McLaushlin suBSestcd that any unspent monies from recent yeon could provide sub­slantial belp in retirins the city's debt in the next eight-yCM pe­riod.

CARES CARES Director Carol

Leventhal at the worksession discussed with council her depanment'a achievements dur· ing the current fiscal year as well aa planJ for next year.

The Cri•iJ Intervention Coun­selor position, new in this year's budget, was filled toward the besinniae of the fiscal year. A manual was then developed witb the help of the Police Depart­ment, whose officers were trained in its use. Referrals to the counselor during this past year averaaed 19 per month, with the greatest number involv­ing domestic violence.

1 ~ counselor needs to

rispo~ -~kly, tbe one half. time pelt:Oft has been on call mosa days each month. Hiring a second half-time person would allow coch to be on call half of the month while assuring that help would be available when­ever needed. Expectations are that 180 persons will be served by the two counselors next year, triple the current number.

Next year's plans include working with the police to es~ tablish an interdepartmental team to focus on quality of life issues in the Springhill Lake (SHL) area, where much of the domes­tic violence incidents occur. Tbe counselors would also work with the Crisis Center of Prince George's County lo develop a therapy discussion group for such victims.

CARES family counselors have been leading several dis-

cussion groups with fifth grade student< at Sprinshill Lake El­emeDtary and with teens at

, Eleanor Roosevelt Hish School. CARES is interested in belin­nina a similar program at Greeabelt Middle School, thoup thus far they have been un•uc­cessful. A $~,000 grant from the cooaty health department sup­ports these discus,;ion groups.

Almost 200 persons; ·including 35 parents, have been partici­pants. Responding to a question, Leventhal said the greatest need for additional procrams would probobly be in the schools.

An additional student tutoring effon is handled by. the Recre­ation Department staff at the SHL ·Recreation Center.

The CARES family clinic, serving about 90 clients for each of the last several years, had a walting list throuahout the year for families seeklna help and a longer waiting poriod for volun­teer professlonals from the mel· ropolitan area wishina to work within the clinic. 1bc depart· mcnt now includes 4.7 position!.

Much of its Work is accom­plished by volunteers: II family counselors, 88 active lutors and 25 in.ctivc tutors.

The total cost of the city's smallest depanment for FY 99 is proposed at $282,400. or that amount the State of Maryland contributes $77,900; the county,. $~.000; and the county health de­par1ment another $5,000. Thi5 past year nonresidents taking the GED classes have paid a fcc; bringing in another $1,000.

A question about future state funding came up in refereDCC 10

<><-loollM-m FOOM (Friends of the

Greenbelt Museum) members Sandra Lange, pruidcnt, Mary Lillllrom and Barbora Havekost talked with council about lhc work they are doiq. Their pri­mary request thi1 year is to double the city'l s~.ooo grant· which pays for the museum's two-day a week professional cu­rator. Evcntuolly POGM would like the city to fund the curator as a full-time city employee with benefits. Lange said she sees the muteum mov1ng in a more pro­fessional direction. Council­member Alan TUnibull «pressed interest in explorina that possibil­ity.

The curator works with the collection. rescan:hins and cata­loaifta. aids others in learning about Greenbelt and its unique history; and networks with other professionals regarding grants and educational programs.

Lanae suaaested that curator Kalie Scolt-Oii~ could assi•t the city in revising its trail guide. Sbe was re1p0111iblc for the new brochure for the mu­seum.

College Park Council Votes No on CB-35

The College Pork Cily Coun· cil on May l2 voced 7 lo 0 (one councilmemher was absent), to oppose CB-35 at the upwmmg May 19 publi< Hearing in Upper Marlboro. According w College: Park City Manager R1~.:hard

Conti, the rationale ror ~.:num:il\ opposition was as f~lllowJ.: (I) CB-35 subverts the Sector Plan and concurrent Sectional Map Amendment process that ha.'\ JUSl

been initialed for the Greenbelt Metro Area Study. CB-35 as· sumcs to zone (the Smith and WMATA properties) wllhuul waiting for the planning process to work. It is inappropnatc lrgi~­lation whK:h would create in the 1-2 zone a new use that is really another zonins category (M·X­T).

(CeoatJo,.od ,_- 1) wu speakina ia se-oJities ond that he. bad attended a focus group mcetins which was an open meeting and where the pLans w~re discussed. Roberts felt that passing CB-35 would tic the dc..-clopment to the plans he saw.

.Reed assu...d council that CB-35 does not lie anyoOc to any plan. The pion the focus group saw is nol a plan that is tied down, he said. Di...ctor of Plan­ning and Community Develop­ment Celia Craze supported Rcec;l. She noted that every de­velopment with wh.ch !ihe had been associated had had their pions chonged •ubstontially frorn those firot pRsented.

(2) Because of conrodentiality requirements assoclaled wtth WMATA's joint development proce!il, it was not possible fur the city to know any of the de­velopment detoils. (College Park's council and staff are .not permitted to enter inlo or hold executive sesaiona dealing with issues such 11 the WMATA de· velopmenl.)

Reed also took. exception to the lack of recreational facili­ties. 1be plan is nol all build­ings, he said. He- noted thot there was a substintial "greenway." He also pointed out that the plan lnvolvcd pro· visions for pedestrian mobility and bicycle linko .. o.

Council member Turnbull took exception to Rccd'.s linka_ac of pedestrian and bicycle focilitieo to rec,..­atioa facilities. He noted that these racilitin were not for rec,..otionol purposes but rather to enoble people to aet obout.

The Mu­"ic Series P,r(,gr&m also has con­trihuted towards the rund~raising crrort to repair the lobby. Nearly S500 was raised from lhe April II concert featuring pianist Muriel Balzer, vocalist Eli1.8beth Barber and clarinetist Albert Hunt, collectively known as the Wilson Chamber Trio. The con­cert, which featured a diverse range of classical music from Brahms to Chopin to Copland, raised thit ~n 's seri~ anistic quality to acw hci,&hll and gives rise to e1.peetations that next year•s series will be even better.

Chen's usual brushwork is most))' smooth and even with luudly noti<:eable brush nuults. In "l..arxkape" the brushwork is fast and rough. almost in lhe style of Van Gogh.
