Lost Dog
Hi all - I just saw a medium sized black and white dog with a red harness looking lost and scared, running along C and up 11th st SE toward Lincoln Park. It darted into traffic around C and 10th st SE. We tried to follow it as it ran but couldn¡¯t find it again and didn¡¯t have a chance to get a photo but hoping this helps if someone¡¯s looking for their dog. Sent from Outlook for iOS

[Lincolnparkdc] Dehumidifier in rental basement
My experience has been to be proactive as much as possible. For a humidifier consider a mini-split.

Dehumidifier in rental basement
Hi neighbors, We're new at renting our English basement and wonder what others do regarding dehumidifiers. The woman who lived there 15 years (before we bought the house) used a portable one during the summer. Without it, inside humidity gets into the "high" range. Now, we're wondering whether it's reasonable to expect a renter to run it and to empty it as needed (daily). When we replaced the HVAC system, the technician told us our 800 sq. ft. was too small for one to be built in with the air handler and we had to rely on a portable one. Does anyone have any experience/comments? Thanks, Jessie on 11th

Subject: Carjacking just now on the 1100 block of South Carolina ? Hi all - we just heard outside our window a young man talking to the police because he had just run away from two men who held a gun to the window of his car and then stole his car on the 1100 block of South Carolina. The young man said they ran out of some bushes in a yard. I think we should alert all the people who held the meeting at Mott¡¯s a couple of weeks ago. Heads up to all to be extra careful to watch for people in bushes and to be wary of South Carolina Ave, which has been busy recently.

Please join us then to listen, to ask questions, and to share your ideas. A few more details (action items/requests for help in bold): 1. Per neighbor suggestion, Councilmember Allen is reaching out to Commander Bryant to make sure that MPD leadership is present and engaged. He is also reaching out to the ANC. We are also working to have representation from the DC Office of the Attorney General (which prosecutes crime) as well. Some neighbors have suggested inviting Peter Bug. Can someone who has a strong relationship with him volunteer to invite him? 2. I realize that not everyone can make it on the 12th. This is the only time open on Allen's schedule for the next several weeks. If you know you cannot attend and want to share a message or thought, we'll find a way. 3. Thanks to Mott's Market for hosting this event. Allen has asked us to meet inside Mott's so that those who want to share personal stories feel more comfortable, etc. Given space restrictions, I think it is best to consider this a meeting for those served by the three listservs receiving this message (that is, roughly the two-block radius around Mott's). 4. If anyone can help me and Michael Skinner get chairs to and from the event, or if you have access to a large number of chairs within walking distance, please let me know. 5. Allen's office asked me to moderate the event. I am happy to defer to someone with more standing, but I agreed to do this in the interest of moving things forward. As the conversation approaches, I ask that our questions and ideas push us toward better solutions rather than emotional release, and that our language/actions confirm that every law-abiding citizen (of all ages, races, etc.) is welcome in our neighborhood. I will send more information as the 12th approaches. Please send me a direct message if you have feedback or a question. Thanks, everyone. I know this event won't be perfect or solve every challenge. But if we work together I'm hopeful we can make all of our neighbors safer. --Noah Noah Bopp Founder and Head of School The School for Ethics and Global Leadership 202.680.3264 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Walter Street DC" group.

[Walter Street] Armed Robbery
3
This is the letter I wrote to Charles Allen this morning (note that I am not trying to be exclusive in defining our "neighborhood"; I imagine all will be welcome). I will keep you posted on his response. I'm sure that we won't be able to schedule a time that everyone can make (including me); hopefully those who can't attend can write questions/ideas in advance, and those who can attend will share notes, etc. --Noah Dear Charles, I am writing with the hope you will attend a gathering in front of Mott's Market in the next week to address the unacceptable rise in crime in our neighborhood. (By "neighborhood," I mean roughly South Carolina SE to Independence SE, and 11th Street SE to 13th Street SE. This idea originated on the Walter Street listserv and spread rapidly.) Do you have an evening available in the next week or so to attend and participate in such a meeting? There is broad consensus on several neighborhood listservs that we would like to speak with you. Given this consensus and the concern on Walter Street and in neighboring blocks, I think attendance will be high. (My own schedule suggests that this coming Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday would work, but I don't need to be present.) You have probably heard about the woman who was robbed and pistol-whipped by a gang of young men this week. This horrible event is proving a turning point in our neighborhood. Far too many similar events are now happening on a daily basis, and there does not seem to be any relief in sight. Though we appreciate the efforts that the Council and police are making to address this issue, there is widespread agreement that it simply is not enough. We need to work with you and other stakeholders to do more. I think I can speak for the group when I say we want this meeting to be forward-looking and full of specifics, rather than a vague exchange of grievances/finger-pointing. We are less interested in hearing about what has already been done (you have detailed much of that in your newsletters) than in how to partner with you to increase our efforts. Some key questions that have been raised include: 1. Understanding the challenge of hiring new police officers, how can we get more qualified and trained officers in our neighborhood as soon as possible? Simply saying "it's too hard" is not helpful for us--there has to be a way. 2. How can we ensure that those who commit crimes like the one referenced above are prosecuted and punished, rather than simply let back on the streets? 3. How can community members work together to deter and respond to crime? This seems particularly important with the summer (which usually brings a rise in crime) approaching. 4. We have heard from police that they are no longer "allowed" to pursue policing methods they believe are effective at stopping crime. What are these methods, why are they no longer allowed (I assume there is concern about racial profiing here, which of course is a legitimate concern), and how can we find fair replacement strategies that work? Thank you, Charles, for your continued work on our behalf. If there is anyone you would suggest inviting to the meeting (ANC Commissioners, DC Police leadership, etc.), we would be happy to follow up. --Noah Bopp (1218 Walter Street SE) Noah Bopp Founder and Head of School The School for Ethics and Global Leadership 202.680.3264

Any interest in measuring nitrogen dioxide emissions from your gas stove?
2
All, I am working on a citizen science project with the Sierra Club's DC Chapter to measure nitrogen dioxide emissions from gas stoves. All gas stoves emit nitrogen dioxide in varying degrees, and these emissions increase the risk of asthma. It turns out that how much nitrogen dioxide a particular stove emits does not depend at all on the age or cost of the stove. (Spoiler alert: it depends more on the size of your kitchen, whether you have (and use!) a range hood vented to the outside) I was surprised to learn that emissions levels from ordinary use of a gas stove can create concentrations of nitrogen dioxide that exceed 100 ppb, the EPA's standard for 1 hour of outdoor exposure to nitrogen dioxide. If you have a gas stove and you have any interest in having its nitrogen dioxide emissions tested, please let me know. The Sierra Club has a few handheld NO2 measuring devices and I can schedule a time in the coming weeks to do it. It would be after June 7. It will take about 45 minutes total because we test at various intervals after the gas stove and oven are turned on (15 minutes and 30 minutes), and then again 15 minutes after the stove is turned off. Thanks everyone, Cara 224 10th Street SE -- Cara Spencer

Drive by shooting/destruction of property incident
Hello neighbors, Some of you may have heard that our front side bay window was a casualty of a recent drive by shooting incident on Sunday, April 9. Fortunately, we were out of town and only came home to find the broken window, shattered glass all over the living room, and bullet fragments on the floor. We reported the incident to the police, Councilmember Allen, and our ANC Commissioner. Please let us know if you have a connection to a window repair company because we cannot seem to get any anyone's attention! Stay safe out there! Liz and Ted 211 11th ST SE
