Thank you so much to the organizers of the alley Halloween party yesterday -- a big success! I realized I left my wine opener (corkscrew with bottle cap opener on top) on the drinks table. Did anyone happen to bring it in with them? Thanks again!! Betsy 234 10th

Post Sandy damage assessment
Neighbors, Just returned from walking the SMD. Other than the great oak down at 214 8th St, I did not note any significant public damage. Please let me know if I missed anything or if you need any help coordinating with City agencies. On a side note, I was happy to see that the new alley between 9th &10th Streets drained well. Nothing like a 100-year rain event to stress test the alley! Regards, Brian

I endorse Brian Pate as our ANC6B05 Commissioner this election
2
I just wanted to send around to our list my endorsement of Brian Pate for our ANC 6B05 commissioner. We have all been the beneficiaries of his dedication, hard work and enthusiasm for the job over the last 2 years. Not just by getting his very helpful regular community updates, but all the great work he has done to improve the safety of our area and move key projects forward like the bricking of the alley between 10th and 9th streets. So, Brian is running for one final term as the ANC Commissioner for our Single Member District 05 (ANC6B05). You may be aware that he has a fairly aggressive opponent, Steve Holtzman, who appears to have a tendency to bend the truth. Brian has even asked to debate him twice and Steve has refused. Steve Holtzman's chief argument for his election revolves around the Hine development. In his literature, he says that the ANC, and Brian, have failed to: a) achieve any meaningful changes in the development b) failed to secure any benefits for the Community in our Memorandum of Agreement with the developer and c) imperiled the future of the flea markets. It has been further amplified, in some places, that Brian has "sold out" the neighborhood and is actively working to evict the current Hine vendors. This is quite simply ALL false. In addition, this election is not a one issue election. We care about lots of different issues that affect our community. So, please consider the full portfolio of Brian's work, from reforming ANC practices, to pursuing quality of life issues, to focusing on our neighborhood security, to working to improve our schools and to addressing vacant properties. Also, from Brian here are some of the actual facts about Hine and Eastern Market: A. Throughout the course of negotiations, Stanton Eastbanc made many changes to the development, some large, some small. Among the changes, they redesigned the facade of the 8th St building twice, increased the setback of the corner of the 8th & D St building, completely overhauled the facade of the 8th & D St building and removed a floor from the building at 7th and Penn. B. In addition to the intrinsic benefits of the developments, such as affordable housing geared to seniors and retail opportunities, the MOA provides $125K in funds for improvements to the Eastern Market Metro Plaza; guaranteed parking for Eastern Market vendors; subsidized space for a 0-3 childcare facility; community meeting space; a flexible, programmable plaza; various protections for residents; one of the strongest construction management agreements in the City; and mechanisms to include stakeholders in deliberations about the project during and after construction. C. Brian has worked hard to better the Market in many ways and has worked diligently to preserve the vending capacity of the Market throughout construction and beyond. For example, the developer has agreed to fund an exercise to test and optimize market logistics during and after construction. Brian also prepared and the ANC recently passed a resolution endorsing the closure of the 300 block of 7th St to support market operations during construction. And, while he is agnostic on the question of who should operate the market, he believes that the institution of Eastern Market must come first in all things. The Market is currently financially dysfunctional, to ignore this is to accept unnecessary risk. That means that the City should allocate revenues from any contracted market activity to the Eastern Market budget (not the General Fund), and that any contracting action should be transparent, open and fair. Few think that the development is perfect, but there were three choices available: a) negotiate for the best deal possible and advance the development b) oppose the development, scuttle negotiations and relinquish our leverage or c) oppose the development and potentially delay the project indefinitely. Brian was not willing to cede our leverage, or accept a block sized dead space in our neighborhood for any longer than necessary and I fully support him in this pragmatic decision. If you have any question

Dry vac???
Hi everyone, We are dealing with a water issue in our basement, which we conveniently discovered right as Frager's was closing for the night. Does anyone have a dry vac we could borrow this evening to stem the flood? Thanks, Alison 202-329-1853

Canal Park is opening, Nov 16!
FYI, very exciting, another great addition to the neighborhood! Events Nov 16-17th. Antonia Two weeks from today they will be cutting the ribbon and officially opening Canal Park . Those buses we looked at for years are now a distant memory, and in their place we have a beautiful park that is remarkable not only for its beauty but also for its contribution to the environment with a neighborhood-scale storm water management system, geothermal heating and cooling systems, two electric car charging stations, and the largest rain garden in the District of Columbia. The aesthetics are pretty impressive as well ¨C the ice skating path, water features, sculpture and interactive light cube. Everyone is invited to join the ribbon cutting celebration in the park on Friday, November 16, from 10:45 a.m. until noon. As you will see from the schedule below, there are a lot of family-friendly activities scheduled for Saturday that you may be interested in, as well.

ENDORSEMENT OF STEVE HOLTZMAN FOR ANC 6B05
2
Ellen, I respect your right to endorse whomever you choose, and agree with your characterization of Steve as a decent man. My sense is that folks are weary of back-and-forth political e-mails, so rather than add too much to that, I'll direct people to www.pate6b.org, where I have a detailed post on Hine, as well as the full text of our Memorandum of Agreement and Construction Management Agreement. I do, however, need to correct a few mistakes in your e-mail, and add just a little context here: 1. Building Changes - We influenced changes to the building through out the past 18-months of reviews and negotiations, not just through our MOA. The record of this is available on-line in our various ANC submissions to the Historic Preservation Review Board and Zoning Commission. 2. Childcare Benefit - The childcare facility is set at a floor of 24 children. Our agreement is structured to incentivize a larger facility. 3. Hine Opposition - You use "250" as the number of people in the SMD opposed to Hine. I'm not sure where that number comes from, but suffice it say that I represent 2200 residents and 1800 registered voters in the Single Member District. Opinions on this project varied more than you have suggested here. 4. Flea Markets - The independent operators of the Hine markets removed their opposition to the development after signing a letter of intent with Stanton EastBanc. The "death of the flea market meme" is a red herring and a straw man argument. I am confident that working as a community, we will implement a solution that actually expands the overall capacity of the Market. As always I am happy to discuss these and any other issues in person, over the phone, or by e-mail. I encourage all of you to vote on the 6th! Regards, Brian www.pate6b.org

Endoresement of Brian Pate for ANC
Folks, I know this note is coming out on election day, and though late, it is not because I was undecided. But while standing in line at the poll this morning, I had a moment to reflect on the years we have been living on the hill and I must say that since 1998 when we moved onto the Hill, I have never seen a more active ANC rep than Brian. He is on top of neighborhood issues and works tirelessly to address them. My personal interaction with Brian concerned a perennial theft from auto thief. After our car window was smashed out the second time and my neighbors a third, I sent Brian an e-mail asking for advice on what to do. The police said they knew exactly who was doing it and that they would bring the person in only to have him freed up a short time later. Brian worked with the police and prosecutors office and spearheaded a Community Impact Statement campaign that helped hand the perpetrator the maximum sentence. He also kicked off a series of late night neighborhood walks. Brian has done many great things over the last two years and I support him for another term. Thanks, Danny Gottovi (200 11th)

Congratulations to Brian Pate!
He continues as our ANC commissioner for another term. Antonia

Thank you

Neighbors, I want to thank you for the opportunity to continue serving as your ANC Commissioner for the next two years--I am humbled by your vote of confidence. I also want to thank my opponent, Steve Holtzman, for running a vigorous campaign based on deeply held beliefs. This is the essence of democracy. I also want to thank my family for their understanding, patience and support over the last two years, and willingness to provide the same over the next two years. As indicated in my campaign literature, we have much to do. Over the next two months, I'll be focussed on cajoling the City to secure funds for the restoration of Kim Brenegar Park and expanding communications channels with residents in the SMD. I also look forward to crafting recommendations to improve handling of vacant and blighted properties, as well further exploring reform of chronic offender laws. Please let me know about any issues on your mind. Thanks again for your support and I hope to see you on a security walk or at a civic function soon. Regards, Brian P.S. -- Great news on David Grosso's win as well. A positive sign for our broader City government!

Hine Zoning Case Update, Hill East Development, Security and more zoning
Neighbors, Updates follow: Zoning Commission Rules on Hine Monday night, 19 November, the Zoning Commission voted 4-0 to approve the Hine Planned Unit Development (PUD), clearing the development to move forward. Barring any appeals, the developers, Stanton EastBanc, will likely close with the City in July 2013 and begin demolition in August 2013. There is much to do between now and then, including establishing a stakeholder group to coordinate construction activities, holding a logistics exercise to plan for continuity of market operations and securing the funds for Eastern Market Metro Plaza detailed in the ANC's Memorandum of Agreement with the Developer. Hill East Development - Reservation 13 Hearing The Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (DMPED) recently tendered Requests for Expressions of Interest for development of parcels G1 and F1 of the Hill East Waterfront Development (Reservation 13). "G1" and "F1" are two squares of land adjacent to the DC Armory Metro. ANC6B hosts a meeting with DMPED on Monday, November 26th to receive an update on the Request for Expressions of Interest and to field questions from the community. Next Security Walk and Opportunities to Help MPD If you need an opportunity to walk off some of the holiday calories, please join me for a security walk on November 30th from 9PM to 11PM. Rally at the corner of 13th and Independence. We'll be joined by MPD and will be encouraging neighbors to keep their front porches lit. MPD is launching an effort to reduce holiday robberies, and will begin implementing modified tactics throughout the holiday season. As a part of this effort, MPD will distribute robbery and burglary tip prevention cards at Eastern Market metro. They would like residents to help with distribution--a great idea in my opinion. If you'd like to help, please let me know and I'll send dates and times as soon as I get them. An Eastern Market Icon Passes Ray Bowers, fromager of Bowers Fancy Dairy Products at Eastern Market, passed in his sleep on 15 November. Affectionately titled "The Cheese Man", Mr. Bowers provided a Seinfeld-esque dose of curmudgeonly affability to our community, and a liberal sampling of cheese to all of us erstwhile turophiles (cheese aficionados). He will be missed. More Zoning On December 8, from 10AM to 12 noon at 1100 4th Street SW, second floor, the Office of Planning hosts a Ward 6 community meeting to review a proposed overhaul to the City's zoning code. The proposed revisions represent the most comprehensive overhaul of zoning regulations in 50-years, so it should be an interesting session. Leaf Collection The Department of Public Works (DPW) began leaf collection on November 19 and will continue through December 1. A second round of collection will occur between December 17 and December 29. Leaves should be raked into the tree box area (between sidewalk and street) but not in the street by the day before the collections begin: November 18 and December 16. Twigs, branches, and other materials mixed up with the loose leaves can harm the vacuum system that picks up the leaves. You can check on collection status by going to Check Leaf Collection Status in Your Neighborhood. Happy Thanksgiving I hope everyone has a safe, relaxing and family filled Thanksgiving. I remain ever thankful to live in our neighborhood, surrounded by such talented, passionate and giving people. Thank you. As always, don't hesitate to contact me with any ideas, issues or concerns. All the best, Brian
