FROM OUR CONTRIBUTORSARI POSTPAGE 26“I will soon be stepping down as editor of The George-towner. Through this publication I have had the fortune of speaking with artists, lawyers, farmers, fishers, wine-makers, historians, veterinarians, teachers, architects and writers. I’ve learned to shuck oysters, received acupunc-ture, cooked with world-class chefs, toured the Virginia countryside, weaseled my way into more than one theater performance, and even stepped on a Mayor’s foot. But beyond the inevitable glitz, what I will take with me are the relationships with my colleagues and coworkers. Who else, for instance, can say that they got to speak every day with Gary Tischler, the man of infinite ideas, words, wis-dom, humor, humility and fascination? I thank our pub-lisher Sonya Bernhardt for the remarkable opportunities she has afforded me, and the trust she put in me to do this job. And thanks most of all to our readers and the com-munity for supporting this wonderful, quirky gem of a lo-cal paper. Now more then ever, this country needs strong communities and platforms for local voices and opinions. I will still be a regular contributor to the paper with no plans to leave in the near or distant future.”

PAUL SIMKIN &JACK’S BOATHOUSEPAGE 15Four years ago, Paul Simkin took over the ownership of Jack’s Boathouse with wife Anna Popov. “We bought the place because we wanted to create an oasis for people in the city to come down and chill out,” he said. “An oasis in the center of what can be a fairly chaotic city.” The boathouse, which sits right on the Po-tomac River off of K St., and which dates back to World War II, has undergone a hefty renovation, with a new deck, dock, boats and everything in between, while

remaining true to its traditional, historic aesthetic. With free grills and barbecues and pets welcome, now is the perfect time of year to take a kayak around the Key Bridge, or just grab a pack of hotdogs and cook out. Take it from Paul: “We just want people to come down and hang out.”

Jack’s Boathouse, 3500 K St. NW, is open 8am – 8pm on the weekends, Monday from 12pm – 8 pm, and 10am – 8pm the rest of the week. For more information visit JacksBoathouse.com.

When Raymond was told he had an inoperable brain tumor, his doctor sent him to Georgetown University Hospital where we successfully treated him with CyberKnife®—a procedure that treats tumors with laser-like accuracy without damaging surrounding healthy tissue. His recovery was so amazing that years later, when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he came back to Georgetown. Once again, our CyberKnife team provided him with an improved quality of life that allowed him to spend more time with his great-grandson.

G T O B S E R V E RZoning Meetings Confront Issue of All Undergrads on Campus, Loop RoadTwo meetings of the D.C. Zoning Commis-

sion—May 12 and May 16—dealt with the issues of the D.C. Office of Planning’s review of Georgetown University’s 2010-2020 cam-pus plan. The Office of Planning calls for the university to house 100 percent of its under-graduate students on campus by fall semester 2016, as well as the university’s proposed loop road, which would cut north to south on the west edge of the main campus.At the May 16 zoning board meeting, District

Department of Transportation officials said it cannot support the university’s application for the road because Georgetown did not submit enough information. “The Zoning Commission members were left wondering how they could evaluate a plan without specific guidance or suggestions from the transportation agency,” according to the Georgetown Patch.Zoning commissioner Peter May found it “un-

usual” to get a report, especially for something as long gestating as the campus plan, and for DDOT to then “say you believe their report is inadequate.” This uncertainty left the zoning commission wondering how it might evaluate the loop road, especially in light of the possi-bility that a new hospital might be built on the campus in the future.At the May 12 meeting, Jennifer Steingasser

of the Office of Planning discussed its findings with Maureen Dwyer, an attorney for George-town University, who questioned Steingasser on the requirements of housing 100 percent of undergraduates on campus by autumn 2016 and the huge cost involved. Steingasser said that the panel ignored the economics and simply want-ed to issue constraints on students living in the nearby neighborhood—whose larger numbers affect the quality of life—and that it hoped to maintain “neighborhood conservation” and re-store balance.The Office of Planning stated in its report:

“O.P. is concerned that the maximum total en-rollment of students…places the surrounding neighborhoods at the tipping point of dimin-ished residential character. Off-campus student living and commuting traffic add to the dete-rioration of the residential character of the sur-rounding neighborhoods.” If Georgetown can-not meet the projected numbers, it would have to adjust its enrollment caps.While the evaluations by the Office of Plan-

ning and the DDOT are not binding on the zon-ing commission, they do have enormous influ-ence on the zoning debate.The next zoning meetings on the campus plan

will be on June 2 and 6.

Key Bridge Exxon Condo Design Jilt-ed by Old Georgetown Board and EastBanc’s LanierEastBanc presented its design for a high-end

condo complex at 3601-3607 M Street (the gas station property next to the Exorcist stairs) to the Old Georgetown Board, April 7, and was sent back to the drawing board—and then again on May 5. The latest remarks included a stron-ger rebuff of the design by the local advisory neighborhood commission, which sent a new letter to the OGB. Even the lead spokesman on behalf of the project, EastBanc’s boss Anthony Lanier, said he agreed that the design should go back to the drawing board.Residents may be fuming about the height of

the complex against their backyards, but it was the way the condo looked and worked on the street that garnered the rejections. While some OGB officials agreed with Georgetown archi-tect Robert Bell’s opinion that the condos as drawn had a look of “Marriott-hotel quality,” others found the design unfriendly or uninvit-

ing to pedestrians. While not exactly a high traffic area in terms of walkers, the Key Bridge Exxon will close by the end of July 2012. (The property is owned by D.C.’s gas station king, Joe Mamo, who also owns Parker’s Exxon on MacArthur Boulevard, Georgetown Exxon at Q Street and the Watergate Exxon.)After neighbors’ comments and citing the re-

view process, according to the Georgetown Patch, Lanier said at the May 5 meeting: “The design that we are objecting to, including my-self, in many aspects and perhaps including our esteemed architect, is a function of combina-tion,” adding that he is “happy to abandon that process” of accommodating through the current design.A new design for the M Street condos will

be considered at a future OGB meeting for the fourth time.

IMF Head Accused of Sexual As-sault in NYC, Owns Dumbarton Street HouseDominique Strauss-Kahn, no longer the active

managing director of the Washington-based International Monetary Fund, is sitting in New York City’s Riker’s Island prison, denied bail after being arraigned for the attempted rape and other alleged sexual offenses of a 32-year-old maid on May 15 at a midtown Manhattan ho-tel near Times Square. Few Americans knew who Strauss-Kahn is, and fewer Georgetown-ers knew that he and his wife Anne Sinclair live nearby on Dumbarton Street across from the First Baptist Church near Rock Creek Park. Busy with international work, they have been in D.C. for only three-and-a-half years. A pro-file of Strauss-Kahn in the latest Washingtonian Magazine reveals how he and his wife rarely interact with social Washington and would be quite anonymous dining at Cafe Milano.The break in the leadership of the IMF, a key

player in worldwide financial bailouts, causes uncertainty in the global economy. Strauss-Kahn was also seen as a leading contender to become the next president of France, although he was already known for his womanizing as “le grand seducteur”—the great seducer. Ob-servers in France view the arrest as a “thun-derbolt” and “political earthquake.” Accused of a lavish lifestyle by his political opponents, Strauss-Kahn will remain in custody at least un-til a May 20 hearing and faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of attempted rape, criminal sexual act and unlawful imprisonment.

Home Invasion on S Street; Burglaries on 33rd StreetHere are two reports from the Department of

Public Safety at Georgetown University:On Saturday, May 7, at approximately 1:35am,

DPS responded at the request of the Metropoli-tan Police Department, which reported that at approximately 1 a.m. a home invasion robbery occurred at a residence in the 3500 block of S Street NW, a group home comprised of both Georgetown students and non-students. Three suspects, at least one of whom was armed with a handgun, entered the home looking for a non-student who was not in the residence. The sus-pects ransacked the home and left with three laptops and other electronic devices, escaping in an unknown direction. MPD responded and searched the area with negative results. MPD detectives will continue to investigate the inci-dent.On Wednesday, May 4, at 7:56pm, a George-

town University staff member reported to DPS investigators that two residences in the 1300 block of 33rd Street had been burglarized the day before on Tuesday, May 3, at 10:30 am. In the first residence, entry was made through an unlocked door. Three laptop computers, an MP3 player and jewelry were taken. In the sec-

ond residence, the screen was cut, but no prop-erty appeared to have been removed. A witness made contact with a possible suspect who was leaving the residence. MPD responded and can-vassed the area with negative results. The case will be handled by MPD detectives.Anyone with information regarding this or any

other incidents, or who noticed any suspects be-fore or after the incidents, please call 202-687-4343.

Movie Mystery: Loews Evacuated Af-ter Shouts in Theater, May 8 Georgetown’s Loews Theaters on K Street

were evacuated the evening of May 8, as fire trucks arrived on the scene, responding to an emergency call. According to NBC News and other news organizations, “D.C. Fire and Res-cue said someone yelled something inside the building Sunday night at about 10pm. That caused a panic inside a theater, and everyone took off running toward the door. Emergency crews evacuated the entire building as a precau-

tion. According to D.C. police, one woman was hurt during the rush to the door. Investigators said the person who caused the commotion may have been drunk and tried to pull off a prank. No one was arrested.”

Felicia Stidham: Most Happy Friend of Our TownFelicia Stidham passed away on April 24. Her

career spanned from wholesale and retail ap-parel to owning her own boutique real estate brokerage in D.C. A memorial service was held May 2 at St. John’s Church on O Street. She is survived by her brother Steven Plerhoples of Philadelphia.Awarded by the Greater Washington, D.C.,

Association of Realtors, Stidham received her local training with Begg/Long & Foster in Georgetown, where she was a top lister and top producer. Before that, she had sold co-ops and brownstones on the Upper East Side of New York. In 2002, with seven years experience in real estate sales, Stidham started her own firm, Felicia Stidham Real Estate, LLC.At the time of her death, Stidham was work-

E D I T O R I A L / O P I N I O N JACK EVANSREPORT

Where has the time gone?On April 30, I celebrated my 20th an-niversary of being elected to the City

Council representing Ward 2, and on Friday, May 13, I will celebrate my 20th anniversary of being sworn in as the Ward 2 Councilmem-ber. This makes me the longest serving current Councilmember, and when I finish this term I will be the longest serving Councilmember in history! Twenty years is a good time for reflec-tion.The first Ward 2 Councilmember was John

Wilson, who took office in January 1975 and served until December 31, 1990. He was sworn in January 2, 1991 as Chairman of the Council, thus creating a vacancy. That special election to fill the Ward 2 Council seat had 15 candidates. I won the election with 2,926 votes, 360 more than Jim Zais. Bill Cochran and Clarene Martin each received 1,050 votes.I came on the Council at a different time. Sha-

ron Pratt had just been elected Mayor and had taken office in January 1991. The finances of the city were not good. Two weeks before my swearing in were the riots by the Latino com-munity in Mt. Pleasant.Things in the District went from bad to worse.

Mayor Pratt, Chairman Wilson and the Council did not have a good working relationship. Then in 1993, Chairman Wilson died. By 1994, the District’s finances had further deteriorated and Mayor Pratt had become very unpopular. The Mayor’s election in 1994 saw the return of Marion Barry as Mayor. By the end of 1995, Congress had imposed a Control Board.As you can see, my early days were quite tur-

bulent. However beginning in 1996, we saw a resurgence in our city. With Mayor Williams’ election in 1998, he joined Chairman Linda Cropp, with myself as Finance and Revenue Chairman, and Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi to lead our city’s comeback. As I look back, I remember great challenges and great progress. Our city stands today as one of the most dynamic in the country, with strong fi-nances and a AAA bond rating.On a personal level, it has also been an in-

teresting and exciting 20 years. When first elected I was 37 years old, single and living in a condo in Dupont Circle. My mother died on Mother’s Day in 1993 and my Dad in 1996. I married Noel in 1994 and moved to 32nd Street in Georgetown. We got a dog, Kayla, in 1995 and had triplets, Katherine, John, and Christine in 1996. We moved to P Street in Georgetown and I was reelected in 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, and 2008.In 2003, Noel died of cancer. We got another

dog, Kelly, in 2006 and Kayla died in 2007. I married Michele in September 2010 and am running for re-election in 2012. I just celebrated my 40th high school reunion.It has been quite a journey and one I wouldn’t

trade for anything. There is still much work to be done and I look forward to a great future.

The District of Columbia Office of Plan-ning’s review of Georgetown Universi-ty’s 2010-2020 campus plan to the D.C.

Zoning Commission asks that the university house 100 percent of its undergraduate students on campus by the fall of 2016. It seems most Georgetowners agree.This situation is not unique to Georgetown

University; other college neighborhoods have called for such restrictions, and some colleges do house all of their undergrads on campus. It is an issue of the quality of life to neighborhoods next to ever-expanding universities, as students spread out from their campuses. It is simply a matter of Georgetown having more students now than in the past. The residents, who have lived here for years, feel put upon by the young transients. Also, in Georgetown’s case, its main campus is already densely populated.Yes, some off-campus Georgetown University

students are lackadaisical neighbors at best, sloppily placing trash out on the wrong dates, inviting loud friends over at the wrong times. Name your pet peeve.Yes, some Georgetown University students,

after dark and after consuming alcohol, become poor representatives of their alma mater, act-ing like jerks and disturbing the calm at 1 or 2 a.m.—and most of these offenders live on campus.Yes, some Georgetown University students

forget that once outside Healy Gates, exiting Loyola or on Reservoir Road, they are no lon-

ger on campus and are now walking past some-one else’s home—that they have become part of the greater neighborhood, a community they scarcely consider in their young minds. Indeed, Burleith is not G.U.’s dorm, nor do

35th, 34th and 33rd Streets provide automatic off-campus living (not that it has stopped rich parents from buying a few houses outright for their kids).And, yes, some residents and businesspersons

in Georgetown do perceive Georgetown Uni-versity students as children of privilege with determined but detached parents who echo the mediocre public manners of their moneyed situ-ation. This is more a concern at the university than you wish to know.Georgetown University, for its part, struggles

to maintain its growth and salary levels, perhaps to its detriment and its own historic mission: the Catholic and Jesuit goal of educating and rais-ing those in the middle class of this American Republic to greater opportunity, be it spiritual, cultural, intellectual or financial. With its small-er endowment as compared to larger universi-ties, Ivy League or not, Georgetown University warily plots a course to avoid becoming a Mick-ey Mouse Harvard or an East Coast Southern Cal, as a few critics warned years ago.But here is neither a polemic on losing one’s

soul to gain the world nor the loss of civility in everyday public life. We are here to disagree with the idea that 100 percent of undergraduates be housed on a college campus—in any univer-

sity, Georgetown or otherwise, and legal issues notwithstanding.We agree that an overwhelming major-

ity—and most definitely freshmen and sopho-mores—should be required to live on campus and be guaranteed on-campus housing. But 100 percent of all undergraduates? Sorry, but that is completely unreasonable.The problem here is that Georgetown Univer-

sity needs to find practical solutions, such as satellite campuses and other student housing. It needs to listen continually to the neighborhood for solutions to bad student behavior. In this latest 10-year-interval, this town-gown dust up is a chance to go over yet another 10-year plan and create programs that effectively and sincerely work. Can we get it right?Part of the college experience is growing into

a community, maturing and learning the love of place, meeting neighbors who are older, younger, different and not from your group or demographic. Can the university and the resi-dents agree to a student enrollment cap and a low off-campus percentile?Inside and outside the campus, Georgetown

University’s motto—Utraque Unum—”both are one”—is lost in translation. Asking that 100 percent of all undergrads live behind the college walls is not reasonable, but it is quite reasonable to expect that a university and its students think and act beyond their own little world for the greater good.

100 PERCENT ON CAMPUS? HOW DID WE GET THERE?

By David Post

“Dealing with the debt limit with-out dealing with the underlying problem is irresponsible,” House

Speaker John Boehner proclaimed soberly as Congress watched the government inch toward the debt limit this week.Agreed. But what is the underlying problem?Though the parties disagree on whether the

solution is to be found exclusively in spending cuts or a mixture of spending cuts and tax in-creases, both parties agree on the goal: the need to trim the deficit by $4 trillion over the next ten years. Some Tea Partiers believe $4 trillion is not enough. If the solution lies in the underlying problem, the Tea Party may be right.President Clinton left office in 2001 after four

consecutive years of budget surpluses and a national debt of $5.7 trillion, about three times annual revenues. Eight years later, President George W. Bush left office in 2009 after eight consecutive budget deficits and a national debt of $11.9 trillion, almost six times annual rev-enues. In addition, unemployment was in the process of doubling, the nation was in the midst of its worst economic crisis since the Great De-pression, the banks were collapsing, and mil-lions were losing their homes as real estate val-ues declined dramatically.Those are the “problems.”How did that happen over the course of a single

decade? First, the Bush tax cuts were $4 tril-lion over the decade. Second, the U.S. started

two wars that cost over $1 trillion directly and another $2-3 trillion indirectly in ongoing costs, medical care, and veteran benefits. Third, the deregulation of the banking sector cost the gov-ernment $700 billion and caused the real estate collapse which erased an estimated $4 trillion in values.Those are the “problems,” Mr. Speaker.Do the math: the “problems” exceed $12 tril-

lion. The goal is to recovering $4 trillion. Gov-ernment math!Where is the solution? Are not the seeds of

most solutions found in the problem? First, what happens if the Bush tax cuts expire?

Doom and gloom, even though taxpayers paid those taxes ten years ago in boom times. Ironi-cally, merely letting those tax cuts expire covers the $4 trillion that Congress and the President are searching for. Of course, it’s impossible to have a serious debate on taxes in today’s world. Even President Obama is not willing to let the Bush tax cuts expire on people earning less than $250,000.Second, after fighting two wars for almost 10

years, is our “mission accomplished” yet? If not, how do we know when our mission will be accomplished? Historically, when America has gone to war, the taxpayers have been asked to share the sacrifice. The wars in Iraq and Af-ghanistan are the first US wars for which taxes to cover the cost were not considered. Shared sacri-fice—some fight, some pay—is how we protect our liberties. We sent our sons to fight and die, many returned with injuries and other special

needs, and we didn’t pay for it.Third, sometimes only the government can step

up to the plate and save the country. In a speech last week in a Las Vegas casino, President Bush talked about making tough decisions. He called TARP – the $700 billion bank bailout – a “four-letter word.” However, he also said that saving (or “bailing out”) the nation’s largest banks was “the right decision.”In September 2008, President Bush peered into

the black hole of a potentially massive economic meltdown, saw the abyss, and said, “This sucker could go down.” If money stopped flowing, wa-ter would stop flowing in our cities and grocery shelves would go bare within days. In his speech last week he noted that his decision to bail out the banks went “against every grain in my be-ing,” but added, “I couldn’t take that risk.”Trillions more dollars were lost by the govern-

ment and taxpayers alike on the collapse of the real estate markets, fueled by government’s fail-ure to regulate incredibly irresponsible lending practices and Wall Street’s penchant to follow the money.But government stepped in, saved the banking

system, and saved the world from an unimagi-nable economic tsunami. Every nation on the planet should get on its knees and thank the US government for having the power to preserve capitalism.In the end, government matters. And does good.

After all, the government is us.Look closely, Mr. Speaker. The seed of the so-

lution can be found in the root of the problem.

Mayor Vincent Gray, who has presented himself as a big supporter of the arts, has nonetheless seen fit to include a

six percent ticket tax on all ticketed arts events in the District of Columbia as part of his 2012 District of Columbia budget proposal he sent to the city council.That includes, we presume, all live perfor-

mances and arts events throughout the District at any venue holding ticketed arts events and performances. While it’s as yet unclear as to what this includes, it likely encompasses ma-jor venues like the Kennedy Center, all of the District’s theater groups (Arena Stage, Source Theater, etc.), its dance groups and any ticketed music. Does it include theater and performance events held in schools, museums and churches?But in short: If you’re buying, you’re paying

the 6% tax.Washington’s arts and theater community such

as the Helen Hayes Awards, Cultural Tourism DC and the Cultural Development Corporation have mounted campaigns to stop this from hap-pening.The proposal, which becomes part of the Fis-

cal Year 2012 budget unless the council disap-proves or eliminates it, comes in a climate that’s been difficult for the nonprofit arts and cultural community, which has seen corporate giving decline and grants from state and federal gov-ernment sources cut heavily. Especially at the federal government level, tea party mania to re-

TAXING THE ARTS WON’T BALANCE THE BUDGETduce government size and spending has hurt the arts throughout the country.The Helen Hayes Awards has argued against

the proposal, arguing it would reduce the num-ber of theater patrons facing choices on spend-ing, which in turn would endanger arts organi-zations heavily dependent on ticket income.Fewer theater and performance patrons means

fewer patrons for Washington’s large restau-rant community, which has drawn heavily from those patrons. If people stop eating out, the Dis-trict would actually lose money from the loss of anticipated restaurant tax income.We could not disagree more with the proposed

tax, of which the income generated to aid the District’s budget deficit would be negligible. This proposal could indeed damage the per-forming arts in Washington, and especially its smaller theater and dance groups—not to men-tion arts education in the schools.Mayor Gray probably cares about the arts in

the District, but this tough love for the arts com-munity, which generates positive tourist income and a highly respected reputation, is not the right cut to make.While cultural institutions have benefited

mightily from the Meads, the Kogods and the Harmans of our community, this sort of thing from the local government seems to be part of a prevailing national mood: When times are tough and the economy is bad, why miss an opportunity to make the arts community take a hit?

I’m sure its not the intention of DC govern-ment to do such a thing, but the tax proposal echoes more sinister cuts and outcries from the conservative GOP stalwarts who would like nothing better than to see the government out of the grant business for the arts, and would love nothing more than to eliminate Public Broad-casting, NPR and support for art exhibitions and performance pieces they detest or don’t under-stand.This kind of anti-intellectualism has always

been a part of the American cultural mosaic in some way or another. What do the arts do here in DC besides bring in tons of tourists?In hard times like these, they lift our spirits.

They provoke us to think and imagine when we most need to, reminding us of the lofty flights of achievement of which we are capable. In the arts, both high and popular, we find reflections of our better angels and our inner selves. We find beauty amid economic struggle. We find created beauty and poetry.In the 1930s, in the worst times this country

had experienced, the government, far from cut-ting support for the arts, created programs that enlisted poets, playwrights, actors, painters, sculptors and educators to create works of art that became shared experiences for We The People. Evidence of that national spirit, presid-ed over by President Roosevelt, can be found in memoirs, in collective memories, stories, novels, paintings, films, compositions and plays from that era that amount to a kind of golden

age. Governments did not hike taxes on ticket prices to movies, to plays or to concerts. You could make a fair argument that because the arts were so accessible to even the poorest, the na-tional psyche weathered the debilitating effects of daily life in hard times.The council is slated to hold final votes on the

budget on May 26. If you want to voice your op-position directly to the ticket sales tax, you can go to the Helen Hayes Awards website, which includes a petition, an opposition letter template and information on the tax and its effects. Visit HelenHayes.org.

The May 4-17, 2011, Volume 57, Number 16 issue included a teaser to “Stacy Ber-man Replaces Darrell Parsons” on the front cover. We regret that the story did not run in the newspaper, but became web-only con-tent. You can find the story at Georgetowner.com/RealEstate. Stacy Berman came on at Long & Foster after long-time manager Dar-rell Parsons retired four months ago. It was an easy transition; she’d been a real estate agent for Long & Foster for four years prior. “People are proud of their homes no matter where you live in the world,” she said, “but even more so in Georgetown. I walk down the street and see the pride people take in their homes.”

Comer & Co., an independently run antique and furniture store, is coming to Georgetown. The Wisconsin Avenue storefront, once held by Sixteen Fifty Nine, a modern furniture, light-ing, and art store, opened after a slow two years for the former store. Owners Fred Comer and Mark Manoff jumped on the opportunity after hearing that Sixteen Fifty Nine was closing. Comer & Co. opened on Monday and showcas-es antiques that can be integrated into a modern home.

On June 1, Fuel Pilates on Wisconsin Avenue will relocate to 3214 O Street to a bigger and more flexible space. Open for only a year, the studio saw a hike in demand for classes in its 1,000 square foot studio. It’s new location will include 2,000 square feet of space, though there will still only be 20 people or less in each class. Rag & Bone, a New York-based boutique, is

expanding to Georgetown, replacing Mac Cos-metics. With 1,500 square feet, the store will

feature the signature men’s and women’s cloth-ing items designed by Marcus Wainwright and David Neville. The store isn’t due to open until early-fall. In the meantime, they’re giving stu-dents, philanthropists and business leaders piec-es to wear from their winter 2011 collection to wear and to describe the way the clothes make them feel. The photos will be displayed at the store’s grand opening in the fall.After five years in Canal Square Cross Mack-

enzie Gallery at 1054 31st St. NW is moving to 2026 R St. NW in Dupont Circle. The current show featuring an exhibition of ceramic sculp-ture by artist David Hicks, runs through May 25 and is the last show at the current location. The new space will be open for private receptions in July and will launch their first solo artist show to the public in September featuring Michael Fujita. Mid-Town Cafe is now Book Hill Bistro. Lo-

cated at 1639 Wisconsin Avenue, executive chef Matthew Mohler brings experience from a small Indiana farming community, where his family used only fresh ingredients for meals. The res-taurant also features a beautiful patio and a full bar. With a quiet atmosphere, this new restau-rant is sure to draw those looking for a casual dining experience. Sangaree, the boutique clothing store on M

Street closed at the end of April after losing their lease. Merchandise was sold at discounts begin-ning at 30 percent and the lights are now off in the space. No word yet what will open next in the space.

Comer & Co will offer furniture and antiques in Georgetown

By Amos Gelb

I cannot quite work out whether boarded windows on arguably the most prestigious corner in the most powerful city in the

world hint at promise to come or forlornness for the passing of what had been.And what had been was a focal point of

Georgetown: Nathans. The bar and restaurant on the corner of Wisconsin and M Street seemed to have been there forever, and for many regu-lars and others anchored in Georgetown, it was a neighborhood staple.“Happiest day of my life when it finally

closed,” said Carol Joynt, the last owner. I was not sure what to ex-pect her to say of Na-than’s closing almost two years ago now, but a hand slapping “all clean” was cer-tainly not it.Joynt is no longer

the owner of Na-thans. She is no lon-ger the successful booker for CNN’s Larry King Live. She is no longer even a career journalist (al-though she does write a society column for a New York online mag). And if you take her at her word, she would walk away tomorrow from this neighborhood that she helped define and that, in no small way, has defined her. She points to the last page of her memoir she is

promoting with every bit of her acquired media skills as professional booker and rolodex-build-er. “Moving On,” she noted. Her next home could still be DC, she admits, but it could just as well be any other city where she takes a job. So this is what it is to watch an era pass—the

era that Joynt and late husband Howard Joynt defined from the top rung of Georgetown soci-

ety. It was an era that Carol defines as one of local culture, small unique shops and local res-taurants. “It had its own flavor,” she said.And Nathans anchored the corner of the main

drag. Howard first ran Nathan’s, then Carol. However, she said, “It began to end with the building of the mall [The Shops at Georgetown Park], and then all the chain stores.”“Georgetown unique” gave way to brand-

name chic. Nathans gave way to perhaps the Apple store as the place to be in Georgetown. But you won’t see Carol fretting over the loss of her restaurant, “Owning Nathan’s was a night-mare I would not wish on anyone.”Joynt has a reputation for being tough, and

she needed every ounce of it to get through every-thing that hap-pened upon the early passing of her husband. Her memoir recounts twenty years of the bruising, pain-ful slide from liv-ing the good life to beating back

the IRS after her husband left her to pick up the pieces

of his sins . But even in freefall, Joynt brought her own brand of media to D.C., creating the signature Q&A Café, first at Nathans, and now at the Ritz Carlton down the street, where Georgetowners can pay to eavesdrop as Joynt talks with many of the biggest names to sweep the media. From television news anchors to the inimitable Salahes, Joynt still has the pull to get A-listers to come to her, but that pull may still be the memory Nathan’s. It is clear as she sits at Leopold’s Restaurant,

casting looks at a haughty waiter as only a res-taurant owner can, that Nathan’s was hardly her

last act. It was Nathans, not she, that stopped breathing. In that, her memoir is an allegory to the slow death of that era when the legacy bar’s and private clubs were the place to be. It was the old Georgetown. And Joynt is clearly caught between that past

and the future, in one breath severing the im-

portance of Georgetown to her identity, and in the next diving deep to conjure up that time, de-fined by the Control Board and D.C.’s halting steps to be an adult city.It was a time when, at Nathans, everyone knew

your name. And everyone in Georgetown knew Carol Joynt.

From George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River in 1776, to the Kenne-dys’ iconic yachting excursions that cap-

tured in celluloid the idealism and spirit of the late 1950s and early 60s, Washington D.C. has scattered bits of its history on the water. The Po-tomac and Anacostia Rivers wind through our neighborhoods, their beauty and power never failing to refresh the senses. If ever you’re feel-ing blue, take a walk along the Mt. Vernon trail up by Roosevelt Island beside the Potomac Riv-er, watch the birds take flight, breathe the air, wrap yourself in the billowing silence and tell

me if you don’t feel at least a little better.And in the Delmarva area, there is one place

agreed upon by sailors and seagoers as the best of waterfront escape. Talbot County, Maryland is the only area with the charm, history and abundant seaside culture to suit everyone from weathered, Kennedyian sailors to eager day-trippers. The towns of St. Michaels, Oxford and Tilghman Island offer events and recreations throughout the summer—charter boats and guided sailing tours, as well as antique boat and seafood festivals and even cardboard boat rac-ing—all devoted to the wonder of life at sea.

St. MichaelsSt. Michaels is a historic town that dates back

to the middle of the 1600s, having served as a trading post for tobacco farmers and trappers. Throughout the 1800s and into the 20th century, the town’s economy was focused largely around shipbuilding and seafood processing from the Chesapeake Bay. Now they are well known for great restaurants, community and access to the waters of the Chesapeake.The 24th Annual Antique and Classic Boat

Festival is returning to St. Michaels, June 17 - 19, at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Taking place on Father’s Day weekend, this is the largest event of its kind in the mid-Atlantic region, featuring more than 100 antique and classic boats, building demonstrations, mari-time artists and craftsmen, craft vendors, clas-sic used boats and motors and even a nautical flea market. A selection of regional and grilled foods, beer and music will be provided through-out the festival.This year’s featured attraction is boating

legend Garfield “Gar” Wood’s (1880–1971) award-winning Miss America IX, a 30’ Ma-hogany hydroplane racer that was the first boat

to ever achieve 100 mph. The event also show-cases a variety of antique and classic wooden and fiberglass boats.National and regional artists and artisans in-

cluding painters, sculptors, photographers, wildlife carvers, jewelers and furniture and model makers will be on hand with boat-related wares. Boat builders, boat restorers, boat kits, boat products and boating safety resources will also be available throughout the event. The Museum’s ten exhibit buildings and working boat yard will also be open throughout the fes-tival. For more information visit Chesapeake-BayACBS.org or CBMM.org.Dockside Express Cruises and Tours are

specialists in group charters. They offer eco-tours of the surrounding wildlife, as well as a number of themed cruises, like crab feast cruises, wine tasting cruises, champagne sunset cruises, ghost tours and even Parrot-head cruis-es for all the Jimmy Buffet fans out there. You can book weddings and larger events aboard their ship, the Express Royale. For more infor-mation visit DocksideExpress.com.On June 4th, St. Michaels will be celebrating

the Eastern Shore’s strawberry harvest with

over 40 artists displaying crafts of all kinds, and of course droves of strawberries, at the 22nd Annual Strawberry Festival and Craft Show. Hosted at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church (304 Talbot Street, St. Michaels) from 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. No admission fee. For more information call the church office at (410) 745-2534.

OxfordAnother historic town, one of the oldest in

the country, Oxford was a trading post for British imports. The town took a turn for the worse after the Revolutionary War and didn’t bounce back until railroad systems came in the late 1800s after the Civil War. The Chesapeake Bay oyster industry took off then, with canning and packaging methods greatly improved and the business boom brought prosperity to the town. Soon thereafter, boaters were the first to recognize Oxford for its tourism potential and seaside luxuries.An annual summertime tradition in Oxford is

its cardboard boat races on the Tred Avon River, where participants build their oftentimes flimsy, rickety boats from cardboard and race for the

I N C O U N T R Yfinish. This June 25 will mark The 23rd An-nual Oxford Cardboard Boat Races, benefit-ing Special Olympics of Maryland, taking place on the Oxford Strand. This year’s race will be the Battle of the Brave, featuring local fire com-panies, law enforcement, Coast Guard and vol-unteer organizations. There are also a number of other races, including the Corporate Challenge among local merchants and area businesses, the Little Mates Race (ages 5-12) and the Funny Race, featuring those boats with more character than buoyancy.Added to this year’s event are two new catego-

ries: the IronMates, which will be a longer race to test one’s strength and endurance; and the new Teen Challenge race for ages 13 - 19. For more information on the event, building and en-tering your own boat visit CardboardBoatRace.org.The Oxford-Bellevue Ferry is a great way

to see the surrounding area. America’s oldest privately owned ferry established 1683, cross-es the Tred Avon River between Oxford and Bellevue, Maryland. It’s a quick trip, 7 to 10 minutes, 20 round trip, but a lot of fun and St. Michaels is a pleasant seven mile bike ride or drive from the Bellevue landing. The ferry can carry cars and motorcycles. For more informa-tion visit OxfordFerry.comCaptains Dan and Elizabeth Cole run a coastal

excursion charter company out of Oxford, combining their love for the water and hospital-ity. Their experience and personality is just the ticket for a weekend on the water.They learned the ropes early aboard Tall Ships

plying the waters of New England and the Great Lakes. From there, they landed in the yacht in-dustry traveling extensively on a wide variety of sail and motor yachts. For the past three

years, they have hosted and entertained discern-ing charter guests on mega-yachts worldwide. Creative and inventive, Elizabeth has her bach-elors in Education and Art, while Dan studied sports management with a passion for American History and everything nautical. Guests aboard their charter can choose from a wide variety of activities including art lessons, fishing, kayak-ing, skeet, archery, water sports, sightseeing and boat skills. Pets are also welcome aboard their ship. Whether you desire to tour down to the Florida Keys or explore the historic ports of the Eastern seaboard, their enthusiasm and at-tention to every detail will ensure you will have a memorable adventure.

Tilghman IslandKnown as the pearl of the Chesapeake Bay,

Tilghman Island is separated by the mainland by Knapps Narrow, but is easily accessible by drawbridge. Tilghman Island is a true work-ing waterman’s village with excellent fishing and fresh seafood. It’s also home to the last

commercial sailing fleet in North America, the skipjacks, which are on display at its Dogwood Harbor. There are a number of great Inns and Bed and Breakfasts on the island, and its just minutes from the surrounding towns of Oxford and St. Michaels.The Summer Seafood Festival on June 25

is worth packing your vehicles, be it motorcar or motorboat, and speeding over to enjoy live music, dancing, crab racing and of course more fresh seafood than you can handle.The Chesapeake Lighthouse Tours are a

unique look at Chesapeake’s lighthouse heri-tage, which has assisted the passage of boats for centuries. Captain Mike Richards, who guides the tours, has over 35 years experience on the Chesapeake Bay and shares stories of these historic lighthouses and their surrounding ar-

eas. Half and full day tours leave from the Bay Hundred Restaurant at Knapps Narrows Mari-na, through October. For more information visit ChesapeakeLights.com.The Tilghman Island Marina is a popular

destination spot with transient boaters and boat-ing clubs and groups all throughout the bay, who also offer boat rentals and various charters.

F O O D & W I N E

By Miss Dixie

While most drinkers are familiar with beer, wine and spirits, sake, a rice-based alcoholic beverage

of Japanese origin, has an aura of mystery about it. Pronounced Sah-KAY, many view it as an exotic and foreign elixir. Known as “The Drink of the Gods,” sake is the nation-al spirit of Japan and has been consumed for over 4,000 years.Sake is often referred to as rice wine.

However, it is made through a brewing pro-cess similar to the way beer is made.Many people are first exposed to sake

in a sushi bar or Japanese restaurant, and never try it elsewhere. The most common sake served is Futsu-Shu, which would be equivalent of table wine.But like wine, sake comes in a variety of

premium categories. These types are distin-guished by the degree to which the rice has been polished and the added percentage of brewer’s alcohol or the absence of such ad-ditives. More and more of these sake styles are breaking into the US market. According to Imbibe magazine in 2007, for the first time ever the dollar figure for sales of pre-mium sake in the US exceeded that of generic Futsu-Shu.As the popularity of sake increases, it has be-

gun to appear on cocktail menus as bartenders and mixologist discover its versatility.Market Watch magazine reports in April

2011 that bartenders are combining sake with

distilled spirits in cocktails as a way of en-hancing their flavor profiles. Todd Richman, corporate mixologist for Sidney Frank Im-porting Co., which markets the Gekkeikan portfolio, sees sake cocktails as an emerging category.“It has a lot of finesse,” he says. Richman

believes that sakes fit well with the hand-crafted cocktail movement, which touts fresh-squeezed juices and house-made ingre-dients.A spattering of Washington restaurants

serve sake cocktails. A popular item at Zentan is the Spicy Thai Martini made with Nigori unfiltered sake, chili infused Russian Standard vodka, St. Germaine and a splash of cranberry. At Poste Brasserie, the Plum Blossom is a cherry-infused sake cocktail finished with plum soda.Another popular trend is using sake in place

of the base spirit in familiar cocktails. For example, in a Saketini, the classic martini is given a new twist when sake is substituted for vermouth and mixed with gin. A sake screwdriver and Zipang mimosa combine sake and sparkling sake respectively with

orange juice.These reinvented cocktails are popping up on

menus not just at Asians spots, but steakhouses,

tapas bars and conventional restaurants as well. According to Market Watch, Ruby Tuesday is one of Gekkeikan’s largest customers due the chain’s use of Gekkeikan sake in their sangrias.One of my favorite sake libations is an up-

dated version of the Sex and the City favorite, the Cosmopolitan. The Sake Cosmo replaces limejuice with sake. I like the way the acidity of sake blends with the tart flavor of cranberry. The orange sweetness is highlighted with a touch of earthiness. It’s just enough difference to give this fading favorite a breath of new life.

IT'S WHAT SETS US APART, BONAPARTE.

By Linda Roth Conte

From Steve Ells and the folks that brought you the amazingly successful QSR idol, Chipotle Mexican Grill, comes a new

concept in the same QSR style. It’s called Shophouse Southeast Asian Kitchen (a mouthful in more ways than one) and will open its first store—a test market store—in Dupont Circle on Connecticut Ave., NW near the north Metro stop. The Asian-themed concept is slated to open this summer, but the Ells’ tweaking pro-cess is known to take time. No plans to expand beyond the first store yet.New York City’s Luke’s Lobster, the lob-

ster shack-themed restaurant concept founded by Georgetown grad Luke Holden, is scouting Penn Quarter for its first store in DC. Holden gets his seafood bearings from his father Jef-frey, who owns Portland Shellfish and is one of the owners of Luke’s. Other owners include Luke’s brother, Bryan, who lives here in Wash-ington, and Luke’s friends Scott Bullard and Ben Conniff. A summer opening is planned.

Mid-Town Café opened on Wisconsin Av-enue near Q St., next door to ILO Salon, and changed its name to Book Hill Café (for ob-vious reasons). The chef operator is Matthew Mohler, who has worked at Adour at the St Re-gis Hotel and J&G Steakhouse at the W Ho-tel. So American fare will highlight the menu. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are on the menu, as is an outdoor patio. Quick Hits: It appears that Orlando-based

Seasons 52 loves this area enough to sign a deal to open a second location, this one in Tysons Corner Center. Their first in the region opens in across from White Flint Mall in Bethesda. Yet another summer opening is planned. Salt & Pepper, by Chefs Nathan & Lindsey Auchter, joined by Robert Golfman and Suechen Chen (formerly of Bambu) will open where Kemble Park Tavern used to be in DC’s Palisades.Ivan Iricanin’s new taqueria, El Centro D.F.,

serves authentic Mexican food near his part-ners’ other restaurant, Masa 14. His partners are Kaz Okochi and Richard Sandoval. El Centro D.F. will occupy three floors in the 14th

Street, NW building. Dinner and lounge on the lower level with the traditional taqueria on the first floor. Rooftop bar upstairs. Can’t wait for those warm summer evenings.Richmond-based Café Caturra, a coffee

house and wine bar, also plans to open in Ar-lington on S Glebe Road this summer—coffee during the day, wine in the evening. An outdoor patio is also part of the plan for the summer opening. Café Caturra was founded by musi-cian turned restaurateur Jeff Grant. Chef Update: Former Westend Bistro sous-

chef Adam Barnett will be head chef at Even-tide. He previously worked at another restau-rant in the group, Liberty Tavern, as well as the Inn at Little Washington.

Another burger place opening this summer: Korean-based concept Kraze Burger is slated to open on Bethesda’s Elm Street. Expansion is expected to continue in North Bethesda, and Dulles and Georgetown will follow. They will also offer tofu and veggie burgers as well as salads.Speaking of BGR, the chain plans to open a

Clarendon restaurant at the corner of N. High-land Street and Wilson Boulevard. That would be the sixth BGR in the area. They have another Arlington location on Lee Highway in Claren-don).Openings Update: Ping Pong Dim Sum’s Du-

The Farmers Markets are almost in full swing. The Rose Park Market began on Wednesday, May 9 (every

Wednesday, 3 – 7 p.m. through Novem-ber), with the two most popular items in season: asparagus and strawberries. And of course, The Dupont Circle Fresh Farm Market is now open on Sundays, 8:30a.m. – 1p.m. This is the time of year to revel in the peak ripeness, flavor and nutrition of these springtime delicacies.The recipe for curried chicken salad with

strawberries comes from my mother and makes a very nice lunch offering. Like any curry dish, its perfect companions are a spicy or sweet chutney (try CHOP Mar-ket’s Nature Isle Chutney) and a cool yo-gurt. You could also top it on a baguette or stuff it into a tomato or avocado half. Serve with pickles, carrot and celery sticks or radishes. You can use any seasonal fruits such as peaches, grapes, oranges, or any-thing ripe and in season. Have fun with it. The beauty of spring is the wide array of options, and it’s hard to go wrong.Strawberries are actually members of the

Rose family, and there are over 600 differ-

STRAWBERRIES AND ASPARAGUS: A DELICIOUS OPPORTUNITY FOR HEALTH

Kjerstin’s Curried Chicken Salad

(with Strawberries and Roasted Almonds)

Serves 4Ingredients: 2 cups chicken breast meat, cooked, chopped (about 2 half breasts)1 pint low sodium, nonfat chicken stock1/3 cup small mild onion, chopped1-1/2 cup celery, chopped1 cup seedless grapes, halved (or other available fruit)¾ pound strawberries, hulled and quartered3 Tbsp fresh dill, chopped3 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley1 tsp curry powder, or to taste1 oz almonds or walnuts, toasted and chopped1/4 cup low fat ranch-style or cucumber dressing

Poach the chicken breasts in stock until cooked. Let cool, then chop in bite-size pieces. Add the rest of the ingredients and chill. Serve chilled. Per serving: 230 calories, 8 grams fat, 1 grams sat fat, 19 g carbohydrates, 3 grams fiber, 20 grams

Serves 6 to 8Ingredients: 2 lb asparagus, cleaned, tough ends re-moved, cut in 1.5 inch pieces1 Tbsp walnut or canola oilSalt and pepper to taste1/2 cup roasted, unsalted walnuts, chopped1 small (4 oz) red bell pepper, finely chopped (roasting optional)1 bunch (1/4 cup) green onions, finely chopped

Vinaigrette:2 Tbsp tarragon vinegar4 Tbsp walnut oil2 Tbsp low fat Greek yogurt1 shallot, finely chopped2 Tbsp fresh tarragon, finely chopped1 Tbsp fresh parsely, finely chopped1 Tbsp fresh chives, finely choppedSalt and pepper to taste

If you are using raw walnuts, toast the walnuts: place in a single layer on a bak-ing sheet in a 350 degree oven for 8 to 10

ent varieties. Choose freshly picked, ripe berries, as they will be the tastiest and will have the most nutrients. “Look for berries fully formed, bright red, without bruising or soft spots and with fresh-looking green caps,” says janie Hibler in her book, The Berry Bible. She continues with a word of caution: “Beware of buying out-of-season

strawberries, as sometimes they are picked when they are only 40% ripe. These berries may turn red, but they will never develop sweetness and can be hard as an apple.” Strawberries are considered a “super-

food.” They have one of the highest anti-oxidant and nutrient contents of all foods, they are also low in calories—you can eat

minutes until light golden brown. Let cool, then chop.Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare the

vinaigrette by mixing all the ingredients in a bowl large enough to fit the asparagus, red pepper and green onions. Place the bowl with the vinaigrette in the refrigerator so that it is cool when the asparagus comes out of the oven.If you wish, peel the stalks of the aspara-

gus for a more tender vegetable. Slice the asparagus stalks diagonally into bite-sized or approximately 1.5 inch pieces. In a large bowl or plastic bag, toss the pieces in the walnut or canola oil and a light sprinkling of salt and pepper, until the asparagus is coated lightly with oil. Place on a baking sheet in a single layer and cook for 5 min-utes in the middle of the oven. Pour the hot asparagus into the cool vinaigrette to help discontinue the cooking of the asparagus, so that it remains al dente. Do not over-cook! Add the red bell pepper, green on-ions, and nuts. Toss and serve immediately while still warm, or serve chilled. About 1,000 calories for the entire dish.

them in unlimited quantities. In fact, for your health, the more the better!“A serving of eight strawberries contains

more vitamin C than an orange,” says Da-vid Grotto in 101 Foods That Could Save Your Life. “Strawberries are also rich in folate, potassium, and fiber. They’re es-pecially high in cancer- and heart-disease-fighting phytonutrients (beneficial plant compounds) called flavonoids, anthocya-nins, ellagic acid, quercetin, catechin, and kaempferol.”Asparagus, meanwhile, is packed with

nutrients. Low in calories, it’s an excel-lent source of folic acid and Vitamin C, Thiamin, and Vitamin B6. Asparagus, like other fruits and vegetables, is sodium-free, and contains no fat or cholesterol. It is an important source of potassium and many nutrients, important for boosting your im-mune system and preventing heart disease, lowering blood pressure and even pre-venting cancer. According to the National Cancer Institute, Asparagus is the highest tested food containing Glutathione, one of the body’s most potent cancer fighters. Additionally, Asparagus is high in Rutin, which is valuable in strengthening the blood vessels. This recipe for chilled as-paragus spears in a creamy vinaigrette is a bright, balanced dish that I think brings out the best in asparagus.Above: Chilled Asparagus in a Creamy Tarragon, Shallot, and Roasted Walnut Vinaigrette

That galleries are still standing in Wash-ington, and in relative abundance, is a remarkable thing. They have become

symbols of economic stability: arts venues are the first to be impacted by financial troubles in a struggling economy and among the slowest to recover. Over the last few years, the number of art galleries in Dupont Circle has dropped by nearly half. But though this city’s art scene has taken some recent blows, the community is still alive and strong and the work is as powerful as it ever was.Susan Calloway Fine Arts (1643 Wisconsin

Ave., NW) is currently hosting an exhibition of landscape painter and local favorite Ed Cooper through June 11. Coo-per, who carries an ea-sel as a constant com-panion, has become a regular around the Washington area and Georgetown art com-munity, with a num-ber of exhibitions in Georgetown galleries under his belt. He has been known to paint around here rather fre-quently, and one past show even focused on scenes from around the neighborhood and the canal.His current exhibition reveals an old-fash-

ioned master craftsman in top form. The paint-ings, which from the titles seem to have been produced largely throughout this region, from the Potomac to the Shenandoah to the Chesa-peake, have a natural and cumulative resonance that speaks to Cooper’s love of the landscape genre. The scenes of barns and wheat fields, misted rivers and autumn sunsets, rolling hills and billowing clouds, are vague but precise, ev-erywhere and nowhere at the same time. They are sensitive and specific to the moment, much like impressionism, but together they reveal something much larger, more encompassing, like a collection of American short stories.And Cooper is such a good painter that his

nostalgic, Hopper-esque style, which might oth-erwise be cheeky or kitsch, just works. This is a man who was born to put paint down on canvas, and as an audience this is impossible to ignore. Like listening to Miles Davis play the trumpet, there is an inevitable beauty in these works that comes from the soul of a pure artist. In a time of endless conceptualization, banter and speed, its refreshing to see an artist with a simple mission: to paint something beautiful, and to paint it re-ally well. CallowayArt.comOpening Friday, May 20, the Parish Gallery

in Canal Square (1054 31st St., NW) is hosting

an exhibition of works by members of the visual arts faculty of the Duke Ellington School of the Arts, titled “Elements and Principles.” There is a reception from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. on Friday, May 20th, and the show will run through June 14. The featured artists/teachers are Melchus Davis, Mike Easton, Bill Harris, Rod Little and Jacqueline Maggi.Among the artists, Davis, who teaches paint-

ing and drawing, has a wide and diverse style. From landscapes and cityscapes to figurative compositions, all in a variety of media, Da-vis’ work has an untamed beauty about it, with heavy influences drawn from impressionism and expressionism. The work is fragmentary and expertly composed, with figures and spaces blossoming from a joyous abstraction.As a whole, the exhibition is an enlightening

and inspiring experience, and a very worthy project. For a school that nurtures so many cre-ative and artistic students, it is important that the teachers get their due. ParishGallery.comA series of drawings by artist Carlotta Hester

are currently on display at Govinda Gallery (1227 34th St., NW) through June 11. During the summer of 2010 Hester attended the world’s largest traditional Irish music festival in County Cavan, Ireland, “Fleadh Cheoil na hÈireann.” She observed and documented this age-old event with countless drawings, and the gallery alights with flowing images of musicians, sing-ers and dancers, created in the presence and

spirit of musical gath-erings, theaters, dance classes, pub sessions and outdoor concerts. The life and movement within the drawings capture rare and inti-mate moments between artists that shouldn’t be missed. GovindaGal-lery.com“Contain, Maintain,

Sustain” just opened at the Artisphere in Ross-

lyn, right across the Key Bridge, through July 17. This joint exhibition explores sustainability’s influence on contem-porary art, with participation from Washington Project for the Arts and Washington Sculptors Group. A group of 24 international and local art-ists were selected to present work that activates and complicates the local and global dynamic that has historically framed ideas about reuse and conservation of environmental resources. This innovative and original show is not to be missed. Artisphere.com

Believe it. “Follies” is no folly. It’s a big deal.It’s a big deal for the Kennedy Center,

where a ground-up, full-blown revival of the groundbreaking Stephen Sondheim musical is now on stage at the Opera House through June 19. It is the culmination of four years of plan-ning, effort and work.It’s a big deal for director Eric Schaeffer, the

artistic director of the Signature Theater, who is practically a Stephen Sondheim godson when it comes to all things music and staging of the reigning monarch and legend of the American musical.

FOLLIES COMES TO THE KENNEDY CENTERIt’s a big deal because “Follies” was a big deal

for Sondheim; he took a giant step forward in his creative control for this show, not only writ-ing the lyrics, but composing the music. The net result was a string of musicals that have made Sondheim a giant and innovator of the Ameri-can musical theater.It’s a big deal because the content-and-concept

laden “Follies,” first staged by Harold Prince in 1971, was a uniquely Sondheim kind of musical, with its story of members of a former Zigfield-type follies reuniting on the eve of a theater demolition, past theater glory, and what happens to divas and stars when the spotlights shut down. It is a musical driven as much by the characters as the music. The original featured song and dance man Gene Nelson, movie star Alexis Smith and Dorothy Collins. The musical received seven Tony Awards, including Sond-heim’s first for best original score.Ron Raines stars as Benjamin Stone, and long-

time Washington favorites Terrence Currier and Frederick Strother grace the stage in this pro-duction.It’s also a big deal for Lora Lee Gayer who

plays Young Sally and Christian Delcroix who plays Young Buddy.Everybody’s heard and read about the ladies of

“Follies,” mainly Bernadette Peters, Janis Paige and Jan Maxwell.You may not have heard of Gayer and Del-

croix, but they’re also critical elements of the show, a connection to the past for the main

characters, alter egos that drift in and out of the show, sometimes sharing the stage with them.For Delcroix, the process was probably filled

with less angst than facing Gayer. “Danny and I had already worked together in ‘South Pacific’ at the Lincoln Center, so we knew each other, had been on the stage together before,” said Delcroix, who grew up in Pittsburgh and lives in New York. “So we could talk about the parts, who they were, what a young Buddy might be like. We had a pretty good rapport right off the bat. That’s an advantage.”Delcroix acknowledged that playing the small

part of the professor at Lincoln Center in the original cast of the smash hit revival (a touring company played the Kennedy Center’s Opera House this winter), was a big break. “That was a wonderful experience and chance for me. Now I’m in this terrific musical by Stephen Sond-heim. You can’t get much luckier than that.”For Gayer, who plays young Sally, the chal-

lenge was a little different. “Bernadette Peters is a legend. She’s one of the biggest stars in Broadway history. So yes, I didn’t know what to expect initially,” she said. “I was a little in-timidated, sure. But she is really wonderful to work with. She’d make suggestions about the character, about what she might have been like. She is the expert when it comes to Sondheim”Gayer graduated from Carnegie Mellon Uni-

versity in Pittsburgh with a BFA in Musical Theater. “I did Rapunzel in ‘Into the Woods,’ so that helped in dealing with Sondheim’s music, which is very difficult and challenging to sing,” she said. Gayer has played Roxie in “Chicago” and Mrs. Gottlieb in Sara Ruhl’s “Dead Man’s Cellphone.”For the Kennedy Center, Michael Kaiser and

Schaeffer, “Follies” marks a return to the works of Sondheim, by whom they’ve done very well. “Follies” was one of the few missing entries in the hugely successful Sondheim festival sev-eral summers ago, which included “Sweeney Todd,” “Company” and “A Little Night Music.”Schaeffer put himself and the Virginia-based

Signature Theater on the map with a smash production of “Sweeney Todd” years ago, and he and the theater never looked back, gaining a national and international reputation as inter-preters of the Sondheim songbook and play-book, while forging a permanent presence with productions of edgy, sharp, contemporary musi-cals, including the works of Kander and Ebb as well as new shows like “Glory Days.”“Follies” not only features legends in the flesh

as characters, but in some ways it’s a bittersweet tribute to the musical stage. The irony is—as is sometimes the case with Sondheim—the origi-nal production had a relatively modest run of 522 productions. But this show, with songs like “Broadway Baby,” “I’m Still Here,” and “Too Many Mornings,” acquired—as is often the case with Sondheim—a sure footed afterlife with concerts and successful revivals, including a 1985 Lincoln Center Concert version, a 1987 West End production, a 2001 Broadway revival, another West End revival and a New York City Center Concert in 2007. The Lincoln Center concert starred Barbara Cook as Sally, George Hearn, Mandy Patinkin, and Lee Remick, and also included Carol Burnett, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, Liliane Montevecchi, Elaine Stritch and Phyllis Newman—one of those wish-you-could-have-been-there casts.

“Follies” runs at the Kennedy Center’s Opera House through June 19. Kennedy-Center.org

Arena StageArena Stage will be producing John Grish-am’s first novel adapted for the stage, “A Time To Kill,” the first theatrical adaptation of any Grisham work. After Carl Lee Hai-ley’s daughter falls victim to a horrific crime, her father takes the law into his own hands and ends up on trial for murder. An idealistic lawyer takes the case, but he’s up against a district attorney and faces a racially divided city. Tony Award-winning Rupert Holmes (The Mystery of Edwin Drood, Curtains) is the playwright in this play at Arena Stage through June 19. (ArenaStage.org)

Folger TheatreFolger Theatre premieres Michael Hol-linger’s new translation of Rostand’s clas-sic play, “Cyrano,” through June 5. The now-familiar tale of the large-nosed Cyrano, famed for his panache, and the handsome but tongue-tied Christian, who conspire to win the heart of the beautiful Roxane, is given new life in this sensuous, precise adaptation. (Folger.edu/theatre)

Ford’s TheatreFord’s Theatre presents the world premiere of Liberty Smith through May 21, a madcap

musical romp through Revolutionary Ameri-ca. The elusive Mr. Liberty Smith, childhood friend of George Washington, apprentice to Benjamin Franklin and link to Paul Revere’s remarkable ride, weaves his way through fa-miliar tales of a young nation. Rife with melo-dy and blazing with adventure, Liberty Smith recalls the lush heyday of the American musi-cal. Experience the nation’s birth through the eyes of forgotten Founding Father, Liberty Smith. (FordsTheatre.org)

Washington National OperaWashington National Opera brings us Iphi-génie en Tauride, the story of Iphigénie, high priestess of Taurus, tormented by dreams of her family’s bloody past and intimations of violence in the future. Gluck’s masterpiece, with its sweeping score and dramatic story, is enjoying a renaissance at major opera houses around the world. This company premiere features a cast led by soprano Patricia Racette, “the consummate singing actress” (Chicago Tribune). Hailed as the “greatest operatic art-ist of modern time” (The Guardian), world-renowned tenor Plácido Domingo, in his last show at the company, sings Oreste, Iphigé-nie’s long-lost brother who is condemned to death.

SOCIAL SCENE

TICKLED PINK, VIIIDiana Bulger made certain that everything was perfection in the glorious Colonnade at the Fairmont Washington, DC on May 14 as the hotel hosted the eighth Tickled Pink Tea where the prettiest mom-mies and offspring modeled Lily Pulitzer fashions from Lizanne Jeveret’s Pink Palm Stores to benefit the Make-A Wish Foundation of the Mid-Atlantic. The Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. President and CEO Maura Harty spoke as did this year’s wish child Jacqueline Pastore. WTOP Radio’s Man About Town Bob Madigan lent his traditional charm in introducing the fashion pairs who included Alison Priebe Brooks of Queen Bee Designs and Cynthia McClain Brooks, Andrea and Gabriella Cecchi, TV personalities Lesli and Jordan Foster as well as Angie and Adora Kate Goff, and Eun Yang with Carys Kang. -Mary Bird
