West Front Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.

Rep. Charles Rangel (D-NY) abruptly walks out of his ethics trial after the House Ethics Committee refused to delay the proceedings. Rangel argued in his opening statement that he did not have enough time to find new legal representation. Rangel faces charges relat-ing to13 counts of fundraising and financial conduct that allegedly violated House rules. The trial took place in the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill in Washington DC on November 15, 2010.

New members of Congress select their new offices by lottery. Low-est number picks first.

Terri Sewell (D-AL) picks number 5 out of 85.

MPD ASSISTANT CHIEF FACES ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE, OR WORSEOn November 19, the Metropolitan Police De-

partment announced that Assistant Chief Diane Groomes had been placed on administrative leave. The move was the result of accusations that Groomes compromised an officer training test. WTOP reported that Groomes aided com-manders who failed to complete written exam in the time allotted. The Post followed up with At-Large Councilmember Phil Mendelson, who revealed she provided test answers to top officers whose open-book exams were overdue. In her 20 years on the force, Groomes has de-

veloped quite a rapport with the community. Under her leadership, and that of Chief Cathy L. Lanier, D.C. has witnessed a decline in crime. Unfortunately, her lack of professionalism in this instance may give Mayor-elect Vince Gray reason to replace Lanier. Department internal af-fairs is currently investigating the full extent of the scandal, but in the meantime, councilmem-bers’ phones have been ringing incessantly with D.C. residents calling to express their continued support of Groomes. For her part, Groomes is-sued a formal apology Friday, but that may not be enough to save her from further disciplinary action.

VIETNAM MEMORIAL KIOSK RAZED Late Monday, November 22, a fire was reported

near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. A pro-pane tank, used for heating inside the park ser-vice informational booth, ignited. While the fire

was contained without injury, the 10-by-20 foot structure suffered heavy damage. HazMat was on site to assist, but the cause was deemed acci-dental. DC Fire suspects the fire was most likely due to a leak in the propane heater. The kiosk, itself, stood for nearly 20 years.

Souvenirs were sold there, and, more impor-tantly, Vietnam veterans manned it in order to talk to visitors and answer their questions about those still considered MIA. Rolling Thunder, the POW/MIA awareness group, plans to rebuild the structure as it was. The kiosk was the last of four that once served the public on site. According to the Washington Post, the cost to

replace lost inventory, propane and gas heating, and electric generators could add up to around $10,000. In the past, booth sales went towards dinners for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans receiving treatment at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and Bethesda Naval Hospital. Additionally, Rolling Thunder has lobbied Con-gress to continue the search for those MIA.

BARRY’S TURKEY GIVEAWAY DELAYEDThose hoping to get their Marion Barry-spon-

sored turkey, on November 23, were forced to wait an extra day. Many D.C. residents turned up for Barry’s turkey giveaway, at Union Temple Baptist Church in Anacostia, only to leave emp-ty-handed. The Ward 8 representative expressed his disappointment with Giant Foods for failing to deliver the turkeys early that morning. The reason for the holdup—Barry hadn’t paid Giant for the delivery.In a press release, Barry blamed Giant, citing

“corporate inflexibility,” despite the fact he had

It takes financial strength and the power of a local banking relationship to help you run your business and, ultimately, grow your business.

not paid in full. While Barry accused Giant of de-priving people of a Thanksgiving meal, after he paid the check for $26,000, Giant proved more than willing to deliver the 2,000 turkeys the next day.

In a response to Barry’s statements, Giant un-derscored its commitment to the community and efforts to alleviate hunger in southeast D.C. On the day in question, Barry had raised $17,000 of the promised $26,000 and only sent Giant $2,000. As a result, 250 turkeys were sent out that Tuesday, but they were intended for com-munity institutions rather than walk-ins. The remainder was delivered at 9 a.m. the following morning, after Barry came up with the pledged amount.

NATIONAL ARBORETUM DOWNSIZING AZALEASThe azalea collection at the United States Na-

tional Arboretum, in northeast D.C., is about to get smaller. The display, stretching across a hill playfully dubbed Mount Hamilton, cannot be maintained due to lack of funds. Loss of grant money is forcing the National Arboretum to re-move just shy of 20% of their azalea population. This means 10,000 azaleas will be disposed of, with 40,000 remaining.The removal process will involve the bushes

being chopped down and coated with herbi-cides—a sad fate for plants that attract approxi-mately 100,000 people between April and May. While the USNA assures that the azaleas being destroyed will not affect the efforts of the Agri-cultural Research Service, which uses the azaleas to breed new hybrids, some remain dissatisfied.

A small campaign has arisen, dedicated to pre-serving the entire azalea collection. Though the USNA has already agreed to reevaluate its deci-sion, if it cannot find a way to make up the loss of its $110,000 annual trust, which expires in 2012, it will be forced to go through with its original plan. USNA leadership continues to assert that

through strategic removal, visitors won’t even know what they’ve missed.

in town December 8. Last year, his book, “The Book of Basketball: The NBA According to The Sports Guy,” debuted at the top of The New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. Now that his work is in paperback form, Simmons is headed to D.C. for a book signing. The signing will take place at the Borders on 18th and L Streets. The event starts at 6:20 pm.
