Twenty students gath-ered on the athleticfield as their rocketswere launched. First,
the count-down. Then, the sizzleof the engine. Next, the explosion.Liftoff!
The camper-built rockets suc-cessfully were launched high intothe clouds. The students builtthem with the help of aerospaceengineers and physicists from theAerospace Industries Association.BAE Systems donated the rocketkits.
This activity is only one of manyhands-on activities that the BullisAviation Camp provided for areastudents last week. They focusedon learning about “all things thatfly.” The week was filled withspeakers, field trips and a chanceto fly an aircraft at the Montgom-ery County Airpark, accompaniedby a certified flight instructor.
The campers were unanimous.“The best part of the camp was
flying the Cessna with a flight in-structor. We actually got to handlethe controls by ourselves. We eachhad the chance to fly in the frontfor 15 minutes, and then sit in theback for 15 minutes,” said CCHoward. CC is volunteering as ajunior counselor at the camp. “Isaw the camp when I was attend-ing the Bullis basketball camp. I
was really enthusiastic because Ihave always wanted to fly a planebecause my mom flew planeswhen she lived in Kansas. We havehad the most wonderful weeklearning about aviation — and thecareers available to interested stu-dents.”
The director of Aviation Campis Betsey Sanpere, former publicaffairs officer at BWI Airport. Shecurrently serves as an advisor toseveral airports in the U.S. anddirects aviation camps in theNortheast.
“As a kid, one of the most excit-ing things we did was go to theairport to watch planes take-offand land,” said Sanpere. “I knewthere are many kids today whoshare this interest, and we hope
to awaken this passion in thecampers at Bullis. There are somany interesting and unique ca-reers in the aviation field. Jobs areavailable in all fields, includingairport architect, aeronautical en-gineer, airplane design and air traf-fic control. Right now, I am work-ing in the area of Art in the Air-port. I tell kids to choose a fieldthey like — and there will be aposition in aviation to match it.”

Fresh ingredients, interesting menuselections, tasty entrees, free park-ing —and inexpensive prices — what
more could one ask for in a restaurant?Opened this week at 12505 Park Potomac
Ave. in the Park Potomac multi–use facility,Zoës Kitchen offers customers a relaxing at-mosphere with Mediterranean fare. Signa-ture dishes are shrimp, salmon or chickenkabobs, steak and chicken rollups, freshhummus and veggie pita pizza.
Zoës Kitchen was founded in 1995 in Bir-mingham, Ala. The cuisine was based on
recipes created by Zoe Cassimus. Shecrafted the recipes from a lifetime of cook-ing for her family and friends with fresh in-gredients from her garden.
Her son decided to grow the business and,in 2008, Greg Dollarhyde and Kevin Milespurchased the restaurants and expandedaround the country. Currently there are 38locations in 12 states within the southeast-ern U.S. Zoës Kitchen in Park Potomac isthe first Maryland location but restaurantsin Fairfax and Annapolis will be openingsoon.
“Our always fresh and unique menu se-lections are what set us apart from otherfast-casual restaurants. We are excited to
be able to offer a new option to Montgom-ery county diners,” said Greg Dollarhyde,chief executive officer for Zoës Kitchen.“Whether eating in, ordering takeout or ex-periencing our catering at a gathering orevent, our philosophy of original recipes andmade-on–premise fresh food in a lively andcomfortable setting is what we’re excitedto share. We will also be offering a varietyof wine and beer in just a couple of weeksafter we are approved by the county.”
The staff, customer-oriented and person-able, raved about the divine “Ya-ya’s choco-late cake” — and it lived up to expectations.Other highlights included the Greek salad,veggie pita pizza, the “made from scratch”hummus and the roll-ups.
The ambience includes an atmosphere ofSouthern hospitality and an expansive out
nity to fly radio-controlled helicop-ters, to learn everything about anairport (who owns it, who pays forit, air traffic control, security), tomeet a pilot who flew over theNorth Pole in an open cockpitplane, and to take a private tourof the Smithsonian’s Udvar-HazyMuseum.
The registration is capped at 20children for each session of thecamp. More than 2,000 campersparticipated in 70 different camps
this summer. Camp topics rangedfrom sports to theater, dance, writ-ing, magic, robotics, fashion de-sign, sign language, bridge and in-line skating. Aviation Camp wasoffered in both the July and theAugust sessions. Next year,Sanpere and her team plan to ex-pand the program so that morechildren can participate.

Council member (District 1)
Will this travail ever end? Forthose of you who lost power[last week], I know that youare at your wits end. And I
don’t blame you. But I do have some glim-mer of good news: the Maryland Public Ser-vice Commission did exactly what all eightof my colleagues and I asked them to do —open an investigation into the reliability ofPepco’s system.
The Commission’s order notes the large num-ber of complaints that they have received aboutPepco’s service, including “frequent and appar-ently inexplicable outages occurring outside ofstorm events.” As a result, the Commission
concludes that “[b]ecause of the frequency,number and duration of the power outagesexperienced by customers in the Pepco serviceareas, and the apparent breakdown of ad-equate communication between the companyand its customers during these outages events,the Commission finds it necessary to conductan immediate investigation into the reliabilityof the Pepco distribution system and the qual-ity of distribution service Pepco is providingits customers, including but not limited to itsperformance during and following severestorms, and a comprehensive examination ofPepco’s storm preparedness and reliability.”
Pepco’s senior management has been or-dered to appear and respond to the
Commission’s concerns. You can watch itthrough this link: http://webapp.psc.state.md.us/Intranet/pscnews/video_new.cfm. I will be there and will reportto you afterwards on the Commission’s pro-ceedings. We do not expect this to be the lastword; the Commission will, either at the hear-ing or shortly thereafter, “frame the proceduresby which the investigation will be conducted.”
I am grateful that the Commission’s orderacknowledges that not only do outages occurtoo often during “storm events,” but also whenthere is not a cloud in the sky, and that com-munication between the company and its cus-tomers is far from adequate. I am hopeful thatthis preliminary hearing will put us on a pathtoward the reliable electricity service you andthe rest of Pepco’s customers deserve.
Keeping the Lights OnCommentary
By Brian J. Feldman
State Delegate
Consumers count on Pepco to providethem with consistent and reliable ser-vice. However, Pepco’s response to the
continued power outages that have plaguedus this summer is unacceptable.
Last Thursday, the Public Service Commis-sion (PSC) officially opened an investigationinto the reliability and quality of Pepco’s dis-tribution system. The investigation will includea review of Pepco’s performance during therecent storms, as well as a comprehensive ex-amination of Pepco’s storm preparation and
reliability. The PSC had directed Pepco officialsto appear in Baltimore, Aug. 17, to answerquestions.
While the PSC clearly has an important roleto play in assessing Pepco’s performance, I donot believe the Maryland General Assemblyshould rely exclusively on the PSC to ad-equately address this continuing problemwhich has affected thousands of Montgom-ery County residents. We must take steps tohelp frame and guide the policy discussiontaking place at the PSC. I have been workingwith Montgomery County Councilmember,Roger Berliner, whose background is in en-ergy law, to draft legislation that would (a)
require the PSC to establish electric reliabil-ity standards within a year; (b) provide pen-alties for failing to meet standards and forfailing to correct the worst areas; and (c) re-quire annual reports that show their progress.The bill is modeled after a recently enactedTexas statute and regulations currently inplace in Delaware. Presently, the PSC onlyrequires reporting but there are no firm reli-ability standards, and no penalties for failingto meet such standards.
I will keep you posted as this legislative ini-tiative unfolds and as always, you can contactme with your thoughts and comments by send-ing an email to [email protected].
Working To Improve Pepco Reliability
Samantha and Sue-anne Slonin ofPotomac, volunteer puppy raisers forGuiding Eyes for the Blind, are cel-
ebrating their puppy’s graduation as a full-fledged guide dog. Geoffrey, a yellow La-brador Retriever, became a member of theSlonin family at 10 weeks of age and is nowfully trained to be part of a Guiding Eyesteam.
Primary raiser of Geoffrey, Samanthawrote, “Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s puppyraising program is a wonderful one in whichvolunteers such as myself raise a puppy untilhe or she is about a year and a half old andthen goes on to be formerally trained as aguide dog. It was a very rewarding experi-ence for me”.
The Guiding Eyes Puppy Raising Programis comprised of more than 400 puppy rais-ers from Maine to North Carolina. Afterapproximately a year and a half, puppy rais-ers return the dogs to Guiding Eyes forevaluation. Dogs that pass their tests beginformal training with Guiding Eyes guide dog
instructors. After four to six months of rig-orous training, the dogs are fully preparedto assist their future blind partner in travel-ing safely and more confidently.
Living in the Slonin home, Geoffrey wasprovided with many different opportunitiesfor socialization, including visits to shoppingmalls, train stations and restaurants. It takesa great deal of commitment to raise a Guid-ing Eyes puppy but, as Samantha said, “Onetime, I was able to take Geoffrey to schooland speak to a Girl Scout troop about rais-ing him. He was very good during the pre-sentation and we all had a lot of fun”.
It costs approximately $45,000 to breed,raise and train a Guiding Eyes dog, but thereis no cost to the graduate. Funded solely bycontributions from individuals, corpora-tions, foundations and organizations, Guid-ing Eyes is able to cover all costs. For moreinformation on raising a Guiding Eyespuppy, contact Guiding Eyes for the Blindat 1-866-GEB-LABS or visit its website atwww.guidingeyes.org.

THE DEFINITIONOF LUXURY
When does a house qualify to bereferred to as a “luxury home”? Whilethere is no absolute rule for applying
the designation, we can approachthe issue by considering
the home’s location,size, cost and amenities.
Location is a significant factor indetermining the value of any prop-erty. A luxury home in California,
New York, Boston or Washington willcost far more than a comparable
home in a less developed part of thecountry. For the price of an ordinary
three-bedroom single-family resi-dence in California’s Silicon Valley,
you could probably purchasea roomy ranch with acreage
in rural Missouri. Luxury homes also come in aremarkably wide range of sizes.
Realtors in New Orleans, Louisianalist four-bedroom, three-bath planta-tion style homes whose only luxury
amenity is a swimming pool.Compare that with Southern
California, where there are enormousmansions with forty bedrooms, movietheaters, spas, sport courts, elevatorsand commercial grade kitchens. Boththe $3 million four-bedroom and the$30 million forty-bedroom properties
are listed as luxury homes. Industry standards describe luxury
homes as any property that fallswithin the top 10 percent of an MLS
area’s annual home sales.

I wouldn’t say I’m depressed (someoneelse might); I would say I’m definitely disin-terested, though. Disinterested in the pursuitof life, liberty and happiness, that is. My con-cern is whether this malaise is a typicalcancer-patient-related phase from which I’lleventually rise or one which presages adescent inevitable to people living on theprecipice. Or maybe it’s nothing really, sim-ply a seasonal-type effect brought on by 90-plus, hot, humid, energy-zapping degrees?
Perhaps admitting to it, and writing aboutit, will serve as some sort of catharsis, andonce out, it will never return. Not that I keepmuch in, as you regular readers know but,there are still pages (not chapters) in my openbook that have not been published. And ifthe therapists have said once (not to me, yet),they’ve said it one million times (approx-imately): getting it out (almost regardless ofwhat “it” is; not a Seinfeld reference, either)is healthier/preferred than keeping “it” in.Could it be that simple?
So I’m not saying “it,” as in out loud; I’mwriting about “it,” as on paper. And if I wereto analyze “it” while sitting down, I think“it’s” about time; meaning my original 13-month to two-year prognosis which is fastapproaching (2/27/2011 being the end of thesecond year). Ergo, I’m closer to that endthan I am to the beginning. Not that the endis 100 percent guaranteed/assured becauseit’s not; medicine is science, it’s not arithme-tic. Calculations/projections are still mattersof opinion, educated opinions, but still mat-ters not without their own unique set of miti-gating — or not — circumstances.Nevertheless, it’s extraordinarily difficult toignore, totally, what your oncologist has said— and continues to say — advisedly.
And I don’t mind when he says it. In fact,I tell him how much I appreciate his respon-sible forthrightness. Not that I need — orwant — to be reminded but, neglecting tofactor in the reality of my health situationwould seem incredibly naive. However,that’s not to say that hearing — and discuss-ing — life expectancy-type time lines doesn’thave an adverse effect. I’d be lying (and nothave as much to write about) if it didn’t. Andif I said it didn’t, this particular columnwouldn’t need writing. So I’m not writing awrong here. I’m simply trying to navigatethrough some rather treacherous waters. Andeven though I’m an excellent swimmer, thereare some Potomac River-type currentsinvolved here, similarly unseen from the sur-face but much warned about, ebbing andflowing, potentially close to bringing medown.
My wife, Dina, has suggested that sinceit’s been nearly three months since my lastset of quarterly scans and face to face meet-ing with my oncologist (the normal inter-val/“standard of care” for stage IV lung can-cer patients in year two), I’ve not, as a result,received an up-to-date/current medicalassessment of my cancer, and the anxiety iskilling me (hopefully not really). And thatanxiety is manifesting itself, subconsciously, inmy lazy-not-very-fair attitude. And I think I’mgoing to agree with that. It seems plausible,and who doesn’t need a little bit (in my case,I’d call it a lot) of good news. Besides, whatchoice do I have?
In point of medical fact, though, I don’tthink I feel any differently, nor do I have anynew or changing symptoms (causes for con-cern, generally speaking; according to myoncologist, or so I’ve been told, in responseto my repeated questions). However, time isnot on my side, apparently, unless I ignoremuch of what I’ve been told (and read). Theproblem is, I’m a very good listener.
