Vol 5 Issue 4
July 2007
I hope everyone is enjoying the
summer. The pool is open, children
are out of school, families are taking
vacations, and Fallsgrove is coming
to life. In the past
few issues of
the newsletter
I’ve started by
discussing the
P OA
board
initiatives for the
year; this time
Steve Nesbit
I’d like to start
by congratulating everyone involved
with the spectacular pool party
thrown by the Fallsgrove Recreation
Association and the Fallsgrove POA
on June 10th. Three hundred people
(give or take) came out to enjoy the
festivities with great food, fun and
the opportunity to mingle with other
members. This is the first event of its
kind in Fallsgrove and with the ringing
endorsements by so many members
will now become an annual event that
the community can look forward to,
for years to come
Now back to some updates on POA
board activities. The board has been
meeting monthly since our seating
with the hope of moving to bimonthly meetings as soon as some
of our key, and extraordinarily time
consuming efforts are completed.

With the sun finally fighting off the threatening rain, families happily lined
up for hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled chicken, Italian Ice, and soft drinks
while jumping into the pool and moon bounce for fun and excitement.

Since the beginning of the year, the POA has focused on the
following initiatives:
1. Building a strong working relationship with the City of
Rockville
2. Identification of parcel ownership where no deeds have been
recorded
3. Replacement of approximately 100 dead bushes and trees
along Darnestown Road
4. Establishing a watering contract for POA maintenance
areas
5. Adding annual flowers at each entrance to the community
6. Coordinating with other Fallsgrove HOA’s to discuss rebidding landscaping contracts in the fall and coordinating
specifications
7. Supporting the Fallsgrove Recreation Association by jointly
sponsoring the first annual Fallsgrove wide party
8. Initiating the Community Garden committee to determine
the feasibility of a garden within Fallsgrove and to develop a
proposal to the board
9. Initiating a School District committee
10. Newsletter improvements
The POA has established a good working relationship with the
City of Rockville and both continue to spend an extraordinary
amount of time resolving issues and working together for the
benefit of Fallsgrove. I want to thank the city for their continued
support, it is certainly well deserved.
We have solved the mystery of Darnestown Road easements!!
These properties currently are deeded to Pulte, one of the 3
primary partners in Fallsgrove Associates. (The development
company responsible for Fallsgrove.) The POA is currently
working to determine the specifics of who will pay for correcting
landscaping on property the POA still does not own. The details
are much more complicated than I make out here, and there has
been significant progress, albeit not without hitting several speed
bumps. I believe we will have some successful news to report
in our next issue. While the POA has signed a contract to add
annual flowers to each entrance of the neighborhood, we have
been advised to hold off on allowing the contractor to start until
the easement issues are resolved. All parties involved seem to
agree that these issues will be resolved before the fall planting
season!! I know I’ve said this in one form or another before, and
I’ve been very frustrated by this slow process, but there does
seem to be light at the end of this tunnel and with just a little
more patience on everyone’s part we will succeed.
I’ve spoken with several of the HOA presidents regarding
synchronization of specifications for landscaping along with
opening up our landscaping contracts for re-bid this fall, and
there seems to be agreement that we will proceed with this
effort.
I’ve already expressed my sincere gratitude to the pool
committee and the boards for their dedication to pulling off the
first annual pool party. This event along with the annual Doggy
Yappy Hour and Halloween Parade are beginning to help bring
our community together. Stay tuned, because there are some
additional ideas on the drawing board. (Hint: Summer movie
night(s) at the amphitheatre is one of them)
The garden committee has met with the POA board and
is beginning to develop a proposal to be presented to the
community sometime this fall. In addition, members interested
in School District issues discussed in previous issues, have
formed a committee to research relevant issues. As for the
newsletter, we will continue to enhance it and tweak it. Already
we have increased its size, added full color, and increased our
advertising, all in short order.
I’ve asked before, and I won’t stop… Please make the effort to
attend some POA meetings throughout the year and/or support
some of our activities…

Ride On Extends Service to Complete Rockville
Loop; SmarTrip Card Now Accepted on Ride On
Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett today announced
the extension of Ride On’s Route 45 bus service to the Rockville
Regional Transportation Center in the Fallsgrove Shopping Center,
offering service all day Monday through Saturday. This service
extension loops through Rockville and will help connect the new
Rockville Town Center with other parts of the City—and eventually
form the route for new Rockville shuttle buses. Ride On also
announced that it began accepting SmarTrip cards on all buses
on April 29. Ride On is now the first transit agency in Maryland to
accept SmarTrip Cards since Metro adopted the program.
“I am committed to substantially increasing the use of mass
transit in Montgomery County to help take more cars off our
congested roadways,” said Leggett. “Ride On’s partnership with
Rockville will boost the accessibility of the new Town Center
and other commercial areas. And, with the introduction of the
SmarTrip card on Ride On buses, we are making transit even
easier and more convenient to use.”
The new, extended Route 45 will provide service to the Rockville
Regional Transportation Center via Hurley Avenue, Wootton
Parkway, Glen Mill Road, Darnestown Road, Shady Grove
Road, Blackwell Road and Fallsgrove Drive. Once the Rockville
Town Center is completed, modifications to the route will be
made to include the new commercial area.
“We’re committed to doing whatever it takes to get drivers out
of their cars,” said Montgomery County Councilmember Nancy
Floreen. “It’s important to encourage people to think ‘transit,’
so having buses that are convenient and accessible is key to
accomplishing this goal.”
The new service hours are weekdays from 5:27 a.m. to 8:12
p.m. and Saturdays from 6:56 a.m. to 7:39 p.m. Buses run every
20 minutes during rush hour and every 30 minutes during offpeak hours. Saturday service is provided every 30 minutes all
day. Residents traveling to and from the Rockville Metro Station
in the direction of Fallsgrove are urged to check the new bus
schedules for updated route times.
“The extension of Ride On route 45 to Fallsgrove and the planned
shuttle for Town Center are key components of Rockville’s efforts
to encourage use of mass transit and to make it convenient for our
residents,” said City of Rockville Mayor Larry Giammo. “One of the
central features of our mixed-use revitalization of Town Center is
the Smart Growth concept of having new residential development
close to mass transit. We especially appreciate the County’s
partnership with us in moving ahead on the shuttle service.”
With the introduction last week of the SmarTrip card on Ride
On buses, passengers are able to use the same, rechargeable
fare card, resembling a credit card that is used on Metrorail and
Metrobus. Ride On installed new fare boxes on all its buses to
accept the SmarTrip card and allow for recharging its value with
cash, up to $20. Riders pre-load money onto the card, touch
the card on top of the fare box to deduct the correct fare, and
a special computer chip keeps track of the remaining value on
the card. The introduction of the card on Ride On is part of an
area-wide plan that will eventually allow SmarTrip cards to be
used on all regional transit systems.
A partnership between the City of Rockville and Montgomery
County Ride On is expected to bring a circulator bus service to
Rockville within the next two years that will run along the new
Route 45 route. If federal grant monies are awarded, Ride On will
purchase six new, small buses that will be specially painted and
branded for Rockville, similar to Silver Spring’s Van Go buses.
For more information on Ride On, go to www.
montgomerycountymd.gov/RideOn or call the County’s Transit
Information Center at 240-777-RIDE (7433).
SmarTrip cards can be purchased online with a credit card
at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/rideon, online at www.
metroopensdoors.com, by mail, at Metro sales offices, retail
outlets and commuter stores, and through vending machines
at most Metro stations in Montgomery County except Silver
Spring, Takoma, Medical Center, Bethesda and Friendship
Heights. For more information about SmarTrip, customers can
call 1-888- SMARTRIP (762-7874) weekdays from 7 a.m. to 8
p.m. or send an email to [email protected].

Gude Interchange – Citizens Speak
Presently, a number of candidates (Mayor and City Council)
and interested citizens have exchanged correspondence on the
impact of the Gude/270 interchange on our City. As Fallsgrove
residents, we have an interest in staying informed about the
proposed traffic “solutions” under consideration. Here is an
example of opinions:
More on this issue from Carl Henn, Hungerford, candidate for
Rockville City Council:
The Gude/270 interchange is not worthy of our support. It
can’t be built without harming the Senior Center and the
Millennium Trail. The Senior Center is currently shielded from
270 by a small stand of woods. That would have to go. The
Millennium Trail crosses over 270 along Gude Drive. If we put
in an interchange, the trail would have to cross the on and off
ramps, with drivers looking to make speed and merge rather
than looking for pedestrians and bikers on our City’s biggest
bike trail.
The interchange wouldn’t be that effective in reducing traffic
since West Montgomery Ave would still be the most convenient
route from 270 to Town Center and points south along the Pike.
The way to address this traffic problem is to get the traffic off the
road in the first place by building the Corridor City Transitway,
building light rail down 355 from Shady Grove through the
southern end of the City, and encouraging their use through
Traffic Demand Management.
An interchange at Gude would probably cost over a $100 million.
Thats a $100 million that can’t be devoted to transit improvements.
It makes no sense in light of global warming and peak oil.
Oil production stopped growing in 2005. Since then the price has
doubled and traffic growth in America has come to a halt. Global oil
discoveries peaked in the 1960s. America’s oil production peaked in
1970. We have been burning more oil than we discover since 1980.
If we respond to declining oil production with more transit, biking,
telecommuting, car pooling and more efficient cars, then global
warming will recede as a concern. If we respond to declining oil
production with oil shale, tar sands, coal liquification, ethanol and
biodiesel then we will put the last six inches of good top soil into
our gas tanks and suffer through climate chaos. We are making
the decision about which course to take as we decide whether to
build the Gude interchange or light rail on Rockville Pike.

options as well as discussing the Gude Drive Interchange.
I am pleased to see that District 17 is being kept in the loop

Let me just add my two cents in here from our neighborhood’s
perspective.
Neighborhoods in my area fought the $85mil First Street “Flying
Overpass” Interchange proposed last year by the SHA, including
TCA, East Rockville, Burgundy, Lincoln Park and a few others
whom I don’t recall now.
One of the major reasons that the First Street proposal
was so heinous (and yes, I use that word on purpose) was
the callousness shown toward the existing neighborhoods,
especially East Rockville. The proposal would have cut off
the exit of Stone Street onto Veirs Mill at a time when serious
increases in density/traffic are being proposed for the Stone
Street, East Rockville, and Lincoln Park areas. “Oh, people can
just cut across on Baltimore to First Street,” one of the SHA
planners told me.
NO—Baltimore Road is one of the oldest and most historic
roads in Rockville and contains a good proportion of our historic
houses on THIS side of the tracks. The SHA solution was not
an acceptable one.
There isn’t a day I drive on West Montgomery that I don’t think
how terminally stupid it was to run a major arterial though the
major concentration of historic houses on THAT side of the
tracks, i.e. West End.
We as neighborhoods did recommend pursuing the Gude
project. I’m not sure now if we would have done that if we had
had all the information as Drew lays it out. Do I think there
will be an interchange at Gude? Yes, eventually, not because
of what Rockville wants but because of development pressure
from the areas west of I-270 outside of City limits, such as
the Gaithersburg Crown Farm project. I predict Rockville will
be fighting hard to stop a Gude interchange because when the
time comes the State will push this project forward with little
regard for local concerns such as the Senior Center.
The management of the existing traffic and the traffic to come
that is being generated by development both approved and
proposed, is one of the toughest issues facing this county,

let alone Rockville. The County’s Planning Department is
desperately slicing and dicing the data in an effort to “prove”
that we don’t have a traffic crisis. They can’t slice and dice fast
enough to convince anyone. (Read the proposed County Growth
Policy documents).
Drew is right—when the situations start to pit neighborhood
against neighborhood, it’s time to take a step back and ask
what is the overall objective and WHOSE objective is it. We ALL
do so much better as a community when the neighborhoods
work together. Something to think about in ALL of our
neighborhoods.
Let’s get a dialogue going on the ARNA listserv! Information
exchange is critical to our ablity to make the right decisions for
our communities. Upcoming for ARNA a fall seminar on ALL
traffic projects in Rockville.

P.S. My continued thanks to our Mayor and Council who opposed
last year’s First Street proposal. We look forward to your continued
support should the SHA’s proposal ever go “live” again.

Dear Jacques,
Transportation and lagging infrastructure is a big issue in
Rockville. The success of Town Center is reliant on many
factors including improved access that a Gude-270 interchange
and Route 28 re-designation could provide. First of all, let me
state that I am FOR this project. Being very familiar with the
project’s history, there are several concerns that may need to
be addressed in order to assure the project’s success:
1. Is the Gude-270 interchange feasible?
a. In a July 2nd, 2002 Mayor and Council meeting (http://www.
rockvillemd.gov/government/mc/archives/2002/minutes/0702.
html) “Mr. Pedersen [Neil Pedersen, State Highway Administration]
elaborated on the suggestion that Gude Drive be re-designated
as MD Route 28 with a possible interchange at I-270 and Gude
Drive. Mr. Pedersen said the right of way requirements in this
area would be extremely expensive so that if the right of way
were not donated, such a project would not be feasible.”
b. I have had multiple conversations and exchanged many
emails with Emad Elshafei, Chief, Traffic and Transportation
Division, City of Rockville, regarding this project. Mr. Elshafei
has stated that no right-of-way has been donated and it is
extremely unclear that, if the City of Rockville donates a large
portion of Rockville Senior Center property (for one of the
interchanges four quadrants), that this would enable the project
to move forward. Destroying a large portion of Rockville Senior
Center property is no trivial matter and I would like Rockville’s
seniors to weigh in on this. The other three quadrants (needed
for ramps) currently are owned by private corporations, are not
up for sale and in at least two cases have large multi-million
dollars structures standing where ramps would go.
2. My other major concern is that I do not believe it is beneficial
for Rockville’s diverse communities to have City government
pitting one neighborhood against another, even when the
outcome may be good for the City as a whole. The City did
a poor job in notifying all stakeholders about this project
(both positively and negatively affected). Speaking with the
Woodley Gardens Neighborhood Resource Coordinator,
Dwayne Jenkins, Dwayne told me recently that the reason he
never mentioned this project to the Woodley Gardens Civic
Association is that he was not aware of it. Not having Woodley
Gardens and College Gardens involved, greatly reduces the
possibility of a sound wall to protect those communities from
increased noise and pollution. If there is a large project,
which has the potential of affecting any community, either
positively or negatively, the city has the responsibility to invite
all stakeholders to the table.
As far as prioritization, the Gude-270 interchange is currently
Rockville’s “number one transportation priority.” As for moving
it higher on Montgomery County’s Transportation Priorities list,
the project is now number 12 of 13 items on a list of projects
to be funded for study (not construction money). To move it
up on this list will take a great deal of advocacy on the part
of Rockville’s Mayor and Council, working closely with the
county’s elected leaders as well as elected officials at the state
level. Unlike my opponent, I have excellent relationships with a
majority on the Montgomery County Council and especially with
Montgomery County’s Executive, Ike Leggett, not to mention
the Montgomery County Delegation. Working together, we can
solve our transportation infrastructure needs.
Thank you for your interest in making Rockville a better place.
Sincerely,
Drew Powell
Candidate for Mayor of Rockville

From: Jacques B Gelin
Date: 2007/05/24 Thu a.m. 07:21:44 CDT
Memo to Drew: Transportation is a big issue in Rockville.
The success of Rockville town center will depend on getting
through traffic away from that area. Where do you stand, then,
on redesignating Route 28 to Gude Drive and on pushing to put
the I-270/Gude Drive intersection higher on the Priority List of
favored construction projects?

The Grove Gardener
Carefree Roses
They are generally winter hardy and long lived. They are easy
to grow, easy to bloom, and so easy to appreciate. A growing
number of modern roses have been bred to emulate the
nostalgic style of old garden roses: many-petalled blooms, lavish
fragrances, healthy foliage, and tidy growth. As you plan your
garden, consider planting some of these hardy shrubs, both old
and new. They are so carefree, even first-time gardeners will
reap bountiful bouquets.
Old roses are rich in history. Three such roses—the gallica
rose (Rosa gallica), alba rose (R. alba), and damask rose (R.
damascena)-—are among the most ancient plants still cultivated.
Grown in the Far and Near East during Biblical times, these roses
probably were carried to Western Europe by crusaders. “They’re
romantic,” says Judith Gries, a Connecticut gardener. “You can
smell the exact same fragrance as the Empress Josephine.” All
the photos shown were taken in Judith’s garden.
Buying Roses
First, be sure the roses you like will survive winter in your area.
Roses will shrug off temperatures down to 20 degrees. If
your winter gets colder than that, select the hardiest varieties
or protect the rose plants with mulch in winter. In general, old
garden roses and modern shrub roses are hardier than hybrid
teas and floribundas.
Judith Gries’ flower beds
Roses sold in a container of soil can be planted whenever they
are available. They are easier to plant than bare-root roses, but
can be more expensive. Bare-root roses, planted during their
dormant season, offer more selection, because you can buy by
mail from specialty firms.
Judith Gries loves to interplant different kinds of roses. In this
flower bed (left photo), pink Mary Rose and Escapade rub
shoulders with red Eye Paint.
Constance Spry sports a double bloom so full it resembles a
peony (right photo). This English shrub rose shows no die-back
even down to 20 degrees below zero. Constance Spry has only
one flush of bloom, but it is a stunner. Its growth is so vigorous
that support is helpful.

Fallsgrove Wildlife News
It’s summer! Residents are enjoying the outdoor activities
of Fallsgrove—swimming at the pool, biking around the
community, walking the dog, and hiking the trails. With more
residents outside, there has been an increase in wildlife sighting.
Residents have reported seeing rabbits, opossums, stray cats,
raccoons, and coyotes. We, as a community, are very fortunate
to have such a variety of wildlife in our neighborhood. However,
it is extremely important that we understand how to safely coexist with Fallsgrove critters.
Stray and Feral Cats
Although cats may not seem like wildlife, they are a part of
our Fallsgrove ecosystem. Many residents have reported
seeing several stray or feral cats around the neighborhood
and in the woods. Although stray and feral cats pose no risk to
residents, it is important for us to know about them. The goal
would be to humanely trap and neuter all the cats. Some cats
may be adoptable; others that are feral may be re-released.
Residents who own cats should keep them inside—there
are too many dangers in our neighborhood for outdoor cats.
Please contact Aubrey if you see any cats 301-424-4098 or
[email protected].
Coyote Concerns
Recently concerns have been raised about the coyotes in our
neighborhood. Some residents fear the coyotes commuting
through Fallsgrove pose a threat to our wellbeing. Often when
people fear the unknown (in this case coyotes) they believe
the solution lies in removing the object they fear. Past efforts
to remove coyotes from Fallsgrove proved to be a temporary
solution. As many other urban areas have learned, killing
coyotes does not solve the problem. There are two reasons
coyotes cannot be exterminated. First, removing predators
from an ecosystem leaves room for other predators to move
in—often more coyotes. Second, coyotes have great survival
instincts. When their numbers decrease, they produce larger
litters to compensate for their loss.
Coyotes exist all over the United States in urban settings similar
to Fallsgrove. Since wildlife experts agree trapping and killing
coyotes does not work, they believe the answer lies in educating
people on how to co-exist with coyotes. That is why the City
of Rockville has implemented the Co-existing with Coyotes
program. The program has proved successful in several other
urban communities in the United States and Canada.
Coyote/human conflicts are extremely rare in the United States
and Canada. When an incident does happen, it is usually
because of three reasons. First, the community where the
incident occurred did not have an education program in place.
Residents did not know what to do when they saw coyotes and
they did not know what precautions to take. Second, people in
the community were feeding or leaving trash out for coyotes.
Coyotes come to see the humans as a provider of food and
thus lose their healthy fear of humans. The third reason is one
that happens less often. The coyote involved in the incident
was sick. Usually before an incident occurs, there are several
warning signs such as attacks on small pets and a lack of fear of
humans (not reacting to a shouting human running at them).
About the Coyote Information Meeting
In an effort to educate Fallsgrove residents, a Coyote Information
Meeting was held on May 9th. Two wonderful speakers talked
with residents about coyote behavior and history, coyotes in
Maryland and Montgomery County, and coyote deterrents.
Rob Gibbs, Wildlife Ecologist and Natural Resource Manager
for the Montgomery County Department of Park and Planning,
gave an informative presentation detailing coyote behavior. He
showed residents a map of coyote sightings spanning the entire
county. Some residents were surprised to learn that Fallsgrove
is only one of numerous communities to see coyotes.
Steve Mader, Superintendent of Parks and Facilities for the City
of Rockville, spoke about the City of Rockville’s Co-existing with
Coyotes program. He reiterated the reasons why the program
was implemented and talked about what to do when residents
see a coyote (be big, mean and tall, be loud, don’t run away).
Steve and Rob answered all the residents’ questions and
concerns. The meeting was a success. Residents who attended
the meeting found the information very useful.
In a continued effort to answer residents’ coyote questions,
another Coyote Information Meeting will be held in the fall.
Residents unable to attend the last meeting who would like
information on coyote behavior and the City of Rockville’s
program, please contact Aubrey Bursch at 301-424-4098 or
[email protected]. Information about the City’s program is
available at http://www.rockvillemd.gov/residents/coyote.html
Fallsgrove Coyote FAQs
What do I do if I see a coyote?
• Appear to be as Big, Mean, and Loud as possible (put arms
overhead)
• Yell and throw sticks, rocks, near the coyote
• If a coyote approaches you, DO NOT RUN AWAY or turn your
back on the coyote. Continue to exaggerate above gestures
while maintaining eye contact and moving toward human
activity
• Blow a whistle or use a coyote deterrent
I’ve seen lots of coyotes recently. Are there more in our
community?

Changing the School Districts
As you all are no doubtedly aware, our neighborhood is zoned
for Richie Park Elem, Julius West MS and Richard Montgomery
HS. I know many of us would like to see our kids going to the
closest schools for a variety of reasons—some of which are
that the kids can sleep later in the morning, not have to go
so far for their activities and make friends who live near them.
The closest school cluster to us is Lakewood Elem, Frost MS,
Wootton HS. I was wondering what is the interest for changing
the current school zoning.
As a parent of a child that graduated from Ritchie Park
and attends Julius West, I have nothing but great things
to say about our school district. I moved into this area for
the schools and would be sad to see the districts change.
Why send your children to over-crowded schools, when the
schools we currently go to have additional capacity. Keep
an open mind to the diversity and just as I am, you’ll be
pleased with the school district our kids attend. Ask any
parent of a child who attends our schools and I think you’ll
be suprised of how happy they are with our cluster.

Fallsgrove Wildlife News
One reason you’ve seen more coyotes recently is the warmer
weather. More people are out so there are more chances to run
into a coyotes. This is also the time of year when coyotes have
puppies. Coyotes need more food during the summer for their
puppies, so they are out during the day and night hunting.
How many coyotes are living in Fallsgrove?
Although there may seem like many coyotes live in Fallsgrove,
it is more likely they travel through Fallsgrove on their way to
other areas. Coyotes have wide territories—often 20 miles wide.
Some coyote territories will overlap slightly, but there will never
be a huge group of coyotes together. Coyotes like their space
and their own territories. Many coyote sightings could be of the
same coyote.
Residents that fear a lot of coyotes in one area, should not
worry. When coyotes are old enough, they leave their dens and
find their own territories away from their families.
What can I do to keep my pet/child safe in this area?
• Always walk your dogs on a leash
• Watch small dogs while outside

Get Wind of These Hurricane Facts
Although the Atlantic hurricane season began June 1st, these
storms occur most frequently during August, and particularly
September. During this period, all weather eyes turn toward the
Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico hurricane “breeding grounds.”
In terms of property damage, the worst hurricane on record, of
course, was Katrina. Along with her nasty sisters, Wilma (the
most intense ever recorded) and Rita, there was well over $100
billion in damages along the Gulf Coast in 2005. And despite
great strides during recent years in reducing hurricane deaths,
these storms claimed over 2300 U.S. lives, second only to the
great Galveston Storm of 1900, which resulted in 6000–9000
deaths.
In a sense, Hurricanes Katrina, Wilma, and Rita were anomalies,
as they formed far to the west of what many meteorologists
consider the mother of all breeding grounds for monster Atlantic
hurricanes: a distant, overheated part of the Atlantic near the
Cape Verde Islands near Africa. There, the trade winds can
sometimes whisk an insignificant atmospheric “wave” into the
open Atlantic on a westward journey that can last two weeks
and thousands of miles.
If conditions are favorable (usually in late summer, when the
water is warmest and the needed atmospheric twisting effect is
greatest), such a tropical wave can become a depression, then
a tropical storm, and finally a full-fledged hurricane, as it carves
out a path across the open ocean and into the Caribbean and
beyond.
To be sure, Montgomery County is affected by these tropical
systems on a regular basis. But their impact is usually as
decaying, moisture-laden tropical storms (wind speeds less
than 74 miles per hour), rather than hurricanes.
This is not to say that tropical storm rainfall can’t cause havoc.
It often does. In 1972, for example, a dying Hurricane Agnes
was still capable of causing hundreds of millions of dollars in
flood damage throughout a wide swath of the Mid-Atlantic, and
elsewhere. And who can forget Isabel, whose rampage resulted
in a $3 billion path of destruction through the mid-Atlantic in
2003. Again, neither of these were even hurricanes when they
swept through our area.
To better understand why hurricanes, which are
really heat engines, rarely visit us at full strength,
we need to focus on where their energy comes
from (warm water) and where their highest winds
are concentrated (the right-hand, or eastern,
semi-circle of the storm). (See note.)
Even if a hurricane were to head straight for us
from the South Carolina coastline, it must travel
hundreds of miles over land. Since hurricanes
aren’t usually fast movers, by the time we would come under
its influence, winds would have greatly diminished due to the
loss of its fuel source and the effect of land friction. Also, since
most hurricanes begin to “recurve” toward the northeast upon
reaching our latitude, such a storm would probably pass by
to the east, placing us in its less intense western, or left-hand
sector.
Exceptions do occur, however, such as when Hurricane Hazel
struck our area in October 1954 with 98 miles per hour sustained
winds, the highest ever recorded here. Not only did that storm
pass just west of Montgomery County, placing the metro area
in the vicious eastern semi-circle, but also because the storm
was racing forward at over 50 miles per hour, it reached here
relatively soon after hitting the Carolina coastline. Obviously,
Hazel’s winds didn’t yet have time to diminish. So much for our
natural hurricane protection.
As for the 21 names—Q,U,X,Y, and Z are not used—of the
2007 hurricane season, they are: Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dean,
Erin, Felix, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo,
Melissa, Noel, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van,
and Wendy.
By the way, since World War II, when hurricanes/tropical storms
were first given names, we had never exceeded 21 until 2005,
when 28 storms were recorded. Of these, seven became major
hurricanes, a record-tying five reached Category 4 and a record
four reached Category 5. However, it is reassuring (somewhat)
that during the last 80 years, only four hurricanes have made
U.S. landfall as a Category 5 storm.
Note: A principle widely but not universally accepted: As viewed
straight ahead from a hurricane’s eye, one would experience
the highest winds on the right-hand side because there the
storm’s forward movement is in the same direction as its winds.
Therefore, a forward speed of 20 miles per hour is ADDED TO
the storm’s winds. Winds of 120 miles per hour become 140.
On the left-hand side of the storm, the opposite is true, so that
120 mile per hour winds become 100.

‘Kids! Parks! Performing Arts!’ Returns
For the 18th year in a row, Rockville families have the opportunity
to enjoy their summer nights outdoors with the City’s “Kids!
Parks! Performing Arts!” concert series beginning June 19.
Rockville residents can visit a different community park each
Tuesday, stretch out and relax on a blanket or lawn chair, and
take in a unique performing arts experience that will delight
all ages. These free, hour-long performances will run through
July 31.
In June, attendees can expect two highly entertaining shows
from Mark Jaster and Paul Hadfield. In Piccolo’s Trunk, Jaster
combines music and physical comedy in a playful mime show
that engages audience members with its foolish antics and
surprises.
The second performance will feature funny guy Paul Hadfield,
who produces laughs with his juggling, unicycling and ladderwalking tricks. Described by Discovery Theater, D.C. as
“hilarious, artistic, charming, and wacky,” Hadfield is sure to
turn a dull Tuesday night into a memorable laugh fest.
The first park location for the Jaster show is set for Lincoln
Park Community Center at 357 Frederick Avenue. “We are
thrilled that the program is going to kick off at the Lincoln Park

Confused About POA/HOA/REC Boards?
Many of you complain we have so many
“Boards” it’s very confusing. Well, you’re right!
Unfortunately, the Developers organized the
community so that every residential component
had its own representation all under the umbrella
of the POA. Here are two charts prepared by
Steve Nesbit we believe will help you understand
the situation.

Be Environmentally Friendly
Turn off outside lights during the day. Coal is used to
generate electricity which pollutes the air we breathe.
Random Acts of Kindness
A lovely little story was passed on to me by a neighbor
about a simple act of kindness that has continued every
day for many months. Her eighty-seven year-old mother
lives by herself in a Silver Spring apartment complex. For
a few days in a row, the elderly woman noticed that her
morning newspaper was picked up off of the floor and
hung on her front door knob. One morning, she looked
through her keyhole and saw her neighbor across the
hall, pick up her newspaper and hang it on her door as
he left for work. She opened the door and thanked him for
his kindness. He told her it was nothing. He only wanted
to make sure she did not have to stoop to pick it up
each day. From that encounter, the two neighbors have
watched out for each other. A friendship began because
of his random act of kindness!

Down Under is Over the Top
The first three weeks in April found Hani and me bopping
around Australia dancing with Imu’s, disturbing Kangaroo’s in
their restful habitats, trekking around the famous Uluru (Ayer’s
Rock) in the middle of the bush country with our heads covered
from the swarms of flies with protective netting, sliding through
the rain forests of the Daintree River areas in the northeast,
enjoying the scenic Glass House Mountains named by the
intrepid explorer, Captain James Cook, and finally resting in
Sydney. Well, not really resting. I worked on drawings of the
famous Harbour Bridge and Hani attended workshops at the
World Association for Sexual Health Conference.
Our first full day in Melbourne found us guided through a “nature
reserve” where are personable guide encouraged us to walk
bent over and at an angle to the Imu birds creating a “strange”
appearance to attract these curious 6’ tall creatures. They did
seem to be interested in my “hunchback of Notre Dame” gait,
approaching me with cautious attention only to lose interest
when they realized I was just another tourist.
Uluru proved a strange and ever-changing colorful image sitting
in a landscape speckled with green and gold brush, “oak” trees
unlike any I’ve ever seen and stray herds of runaway camels,
descendents of original camels brought by an Afghan nearly a
hundred years ago.
Flying from the Bush Country to The Rain Forest found us
among exotic creatures and plants with rain falling every few
minutes as the humidity repeatedly reached 100%. We found
crocodiles in Daintree River eyeing us with wary but hungry
interest.
Manager’s Mentions
At the last Board meeting of the Homes at Fallsgrove Owners
Association (EYA) on May 21, 2007, the Board decided
to issue photocell light adaptors to all residents in their
respective association. The adaptors will be free of charge.
The benefits of these adaptors will be to turn on and off the
back alley lights depending on daylight or lack thereof. The
lights can be screwed into the light fixtures and will require
little to no maintenance. The photocell adaptors should be
available by the end of July at the absolute latest. It will be
up to the individual homeowners to install the adaptors.
Per Section 3 (a) of the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions
and Restrictions of the Homes at Fallsgrove Owners
Association, “If any lights are attached to the exterior of a
Living Unit (or on or under a deck of a Living Unit) which the
Declarant has designed to provide lighting for the Lots or

to Brisbane and the lovely

then down the coast to
Sydney and excitement of
this beautiful city.
The trip provided us a
glimpse of a country with
over 22,000 kilometers of
coastline, majestic land and seascapes, excellent restaurants,
friendly people who speak English, and the desire to return and
explore more.
– Arthur Goldberg
the Common Areas (including the private streets, walkways
or alleyways, or both), the Owners of the Living Units to
which such lights are attached shall maintain such lights
in operation order with photocell lights. No Owner shall
disconnect or otherwise impair the use of such lights.”
Every homeowner will have up to 15 days to have these lights
active from the time of receipt. This will insure that we have
much safer alleys and areas that back up to reforestation
areas.
Also, please be aware of parking rules in alleys. Signs are
posted at entrances of all alleys stating what is acceptable
and what is not. Cars in violation will be towed after warning.
As always, please contact the Management office with any
questions.

Trip to Israel—May 2007
Sharyn and Art had a fascinating and stimulating trip to Israel.
Highlights included a day in Petra, the ancient city in Jordan; a
weekend visiting family and friends; the experiential Palmach
Museum; and a week of lectures, discussions, and educational
field trips on an Honest Reporting Mission [exposing bias,
promoting balance, effecting change].
Our first stop was the resort city of Eilat where we spent the
first day relaxing and taking a boat ride on the Red Sea. Next
we crossed the border to Jordan for a full day tour of Petra - a
2600 year old city founded by the Nabateans and a candidate
for the seven new wonders of the world. This spectacular city
was built into red rock cliffs accessible only through narrow
mountain passages. As we walked down the main path on
ancient cobblestones, we saw the famous, magnificent threestory Treasury Building. We were also amazed at the size and
extent of the rest of the city. There was a coliseum and many
other interesting structures carved into the mountains.
The Sabbath was spent with relatives in Jerusalem. On Saturday
afternoon they invited some very interesting guests for lunch.
Among them was the internationally acclaimed author and
speaker Rabbi Berel Wein. The conversation was stimulating
and included small world connections and talk about Art’s work
on the NASA Hubble Space Telescope and the space program.
Rabbi Wein included Hubble and the moon voyages in his
afternoon lecture to a large crowd at the synagogue.
On Sunday we traveled to Tel Aviv for a nice visit with Israeli
friends and dinner at a restaurant on the Mediterranean Sea.
Monday morning we toured the innovative Palmach Museum
near Tel Aviv University. The museum is experiential conveying
the Palmach (elite striking force) legacy from 1941 to 1949
through stories of individuals and groups. That afternoon we
went to Petach Tikva to visit other relatives. Petach Tikva is an
old city settled several hundred years ago with amazing new
industrial and residential growth. We had dinner at a delightful
restaurant in a new office complex with large buildings housing
Intel, Oracle, Kodak and Glaxo.
Our last week was spent in Jerusalem at the beautiful David
Citadel Hotel on an outstanding Honest Reporting Mission. The
speakers included Natan Sharansky (former Minister), Mark Regev
(Israel Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Danny Seaman (Director of
Government Press Office), Khalen Abu Toameh (award winning
Israeli/Palestinian Arab Journalist living in Jerusalem), a panel
of journalists representing AP, CBS radio, Rheinish Post, and
other speakers ranging from the far left to the far right all chosen
for their eloquence and ability to communicate and inform. We
took several field trips to strategic locations such as Maale
Adumim and Gush Etzion on the green line near Jerusalem and
a fascinating full day excursion to the Lebanese border with a
military analyst. We bought cakes at a bakery and delivered them
before the Sabbath to army soldiers at their bases.

Mission participants came from the USA, Canada, South
Africa, Australia, Norway, Ireland and England. Meals were in
interesting places like the Carmel and Gush Etzion wineries,
and Genesis Land—recreating dinner in Abraham’s tent in the
Judean desert. Camel rides were available.
This was our ninth trip to Israel together and each trip was a
different experience. We returned home enlightened, exhilarated
and looking forward to our next vacation.

It’s For Your Health
It’s For Your Health provides valuable health information
resources from U.S. federal agencies and other components
to help you make informed healthcare decisions. Always seek
medical advice from your doctor to be sure.
This issue is devoted to the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA), which is now in its 101st year. The FDA is one of the
nation’s oldest and most respected consumer protection
agencies. It regulates products totaling over $1 trillion dollars
a year, accounting for about 25 cents of every consumer
dollar spent. When you divide FDA’s budget by the number of
people the agency protects, it costs just over a penny a day
per person. FDA is responsible for everything from the most
common food ingredients to complex medical and surgical
devices, life-saving drugs, and radiation-emitting consumer
and medical products (such as microwave ovens and x-ray
machines).
FDA Debuts New Consumer Health Webpage
and E-Newsletter
Keeping up with the latest consumer health information from the
FDA just got easier. In early May, the FDA announced two new
initiatives to enhance its online consumer health information.
A webpage, “Consumer Health Information for You and Your
Family,” (www.fda.gov/consumer) provides comprehensive and
timely consumer information. A free monthly e-newsletter, “FDA
Consumer Health Information” (www.fda.gov/consumernews.
html), will alert consumers to new content contained on the
Webpage.
The new consumer Webpage will present important public health
developments clearly and accurately in easy to read language.
A current article describes FDA’s ongoing investigation of the
recent recall of more than 100 brands of pet food due to potential
contamination. Also, for example, you will find information about
the benefits and risks of pain relievers, facts about generic drugs,
and what FDA is doing to keep produce safe. The Webpage
also provides consumers with health information you can use
everyday such as how to lose and manage your weight. Lastly,
the Webpage also provides links to useful information about the
various products that it regulates.
The Webpage also links to health information available from
other U.S. government sources and provides essential health
information in Spanish. The e-newsletter replaces the agency’s
40 year old FDA Consumer magazine and is expected to reach
far more people via the Internet. Subscribers will receive
notice of product approvals, safety warnings, and other health
news. FDA invites feedback on their new webpage and the enewsletter. Comments and questions may be sent via email
to [email protected] or mailed to FDA Consumer
Health Information, Food and Drug Administration, HFI-40,
Room 15-A29, Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857.
Women’s Health
FDA’s Office of Women’s Health has a wide-array of health
information for women of all ages. Its Webpage includes important
topics such as birth control, pregnancy, mammography, heart
health, diabetes, menopause and osteoporosis. http://www.fda.
gov/womens/default.htm
Outdoor Eating Food Safety Tips
What better way to enjoy the summer than cooking and eating
outdoors! The FDA has updated its food safety tips to protect
one from foodborne illnesses. Always practice safe food handling
techniques when eating outdoors. Keep the listed tips in mind
when preparing, storing, and cooking food for picnics and
barbecues. http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/fssumme2.html
FDA’s New Breast Pumps’ Website
For soon-to-be moms and mothers currently breast-feeding
their babies, FDA’s new website provides general information
about breast pumps you will want to learn more about. The
information contained in this Website includes choosing, using
and cleaning breast pumps, storing and thawing breast milk,
and infection and injury. Also included are selected resources
about breast pumps and breastfeeding. http://www.fda.gov/
cdrh/breastpumps
FDA & YOU – A Health E-newsletter for Teens,
Their Parents and Health Educators
The spring 2007 issue of FDA & YOU was published on the Web
in late May and is available at www.fda.gov/cdrh/fdaandyou. A
pdf is also available on the website for anyone who wishes to
print copies. A few of the topics in this issue include:
• Summer Safety
• Artificial Sweeteners
• Purchasing Pet Drugs Online
• Viruses and Bacteria
• Abuse of Over-the-Counter and Prescription Medicines
Hurricane Season Begins
Because we live in the Mid-Atlantic States, we will rarely be
affected by a hurricane. But some of us may have family
members and/or friends who either live in Florida, the states
south of us or in the Gulf region. The FDA has a special website
with resources for your loved ones on how to keep food, medical
products and pets safe during an emergency. http://www.fda.
gov/consumer/updates/hurricane052307.html

Rockville in History—July 4th Remembrance
In 1864, Rockville—the County Seat for Montgomery County—
was strategically located in the slaveholding, border state of
Maryland between Washington, DC and the West.
In July of that year, Jubal Early and his army of Confederate
States cavalry boldly passed through Rockville on a mission
to attack the perimeter defenses of the Nation’s Capital. On
July 10th, the lead element of Early’s army pushed through
Rockville, forcing the Union cavalry to withdraw. After taking the
town, the force camped for the night and awaited the next day’s
arrival of the main body of the army and General Early. Once
united, the rebel army moved to the outskirts of Washington
City. The intention of striking fear into the population of their
enemy’s capital was not lost on the Union’s defenders.
The reinforced defenses of the City held Early’s troops at
bay and forced them to retreat to Rockville on July 13th.
Here, as the Confederate force withdrew from Rockville, two
regiments of Union cavalry charged down Commerce Lane
(now Montgomery Avenue) and struck the retreating cavalry
along the western edge of the town. The engagement found
men in blue and grey fighting and dying in the middle of what
is now our home.
As our nation salutes the anniversary of its birth this month while
engaging in another war (this one on the other side of the world),
let us remember that less than 150 years ago, we fought among
ourselves in the deadliest war in the history of our country.
Yes, we can lament the polarization of our body politic with
Red and Blue states and disparage each other with labels of
Conservative and Liberal, but let us recognize how fortunate we
are. There was a time when our disagreements led to horrendous
bloodshed on a scale never duplicated since. Rockville, Maryland
was a sleepy, little town that hot, July day when a rebel army
rode through, camped on the grounds of the Courthouse and
prepared to attack our Nation’s Capital. The carnage visited upon
our forefathers, the sacrifice made by so many people in the
hope of creating a better country must never be forgotten.
