The next meeting of the Maplewood Citizens Association will be held on Wednesday, March 18th 2009 at the old Heart House campus at 9111 Old Georgetown Road. Representatives of the Foundation for Advancement of Education in the Sciences (FAES) will discuss its proposed rezoning of property that it owns in Maplewood between West Cedar Lane and Cypress and Acacia Avenues. Also at this meeting Maplewood resident Jim Winkler, the MCA representative on the Bethesda Fire Board and a former NYC firefighter, will discuss the current level of fire protection we have in this community and its adequacy.

The State Highway Administration will conduct a Public Workshop on the Bethesda BRAC Intersections Project: Thursday, April 2, 2009, from, 5:30-7:30 p.m. at the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School gymnasium, 4301 East-West Highway, Bethesda, MD 20814.
The purpose of the SHA meeting is to acquaint the public with the progress of the project to date. Displays and mapping depicting the planned improvements will be available for viewing. Citizens will be invited to present comments to the project team. Project representatives will be available throughout the meeting to explain the improvements and their associated impacts, discuss points of interest, and record public comments. For more information, see the SHA press release or the SHA newsletter.
On March 9, Congress approved $3,087,500 in funding specifically for the Bethesda BRAC intersections improvement project. Thanks go to Senators Barbara Mikulski and Ben Cardin and Congressman Chris Van Hollen.
This funding was part of an omnibus funding bill passed by the U.S. Senate (the House of Representatives approved the bill two weeks ago) that appropriates funds for most federal agencies through September 30, 2009 — the remainder of Fiscal Year 2009. This is funding that Congress should have completed at the beginning of FY2009 (October 1, 2008); having failed to do so until now, most federal agencies have been operating at FY2008 levels.

As they do every December, Tracy Stanton and Carlos Cuevasa recently hosted a gathering at their Fordyce Place home featuring several local jewelry and textile artisans. Tracy and Carlos share an interest in healthy lifestyles and the environment. Having retired from the World Bank, Carlos now works in microfinance—providing financial services to poor and low-income clients—while Tracy is a program manager at Ecosystem Marketplace, an information source on ecosystem services such as water quality and biodiversity. They are both runners.
It’s natural that Tracy and Carlos’s neighbors Keith and Lynn Voight would be included in this artisan line-up. In addition to their day jobs, the Voights own All Things Olive, which specializes in authentic olive oil and other gourmet food items. You may have run into them at the Kensington Farmers’ Market on Saturday mornings. With an exotic choice of California extra virgin olive oils, herb infused olive oils, wine vinegars and tapenades on hand and ready for tasting, Keith will explain all there is to know about the health benefits of olive oil and more. The Voights came up with the idea for the business after a trip to Paris. And they live right here in Maplewood!
