Text Box: CAROUSEL FILM SCHEDULED FOR TOWN HALL SEPTEMBER 17 On Sunday afternoon, September 17, as part of the Town of Glen Echo’s Chautauqua series, filmmaker Cintia Cabib will present “Carousel of Memories,” an independent documentary about Glen Echo Park’s historic Dentzel carousel. The presentation will take place at the Glen Echo Town Hall from 3-5 p.m. “Carousel of Memories” chronicles the carousel’s many roles over its 85-year history: from an amusement park ride, to a symbol for the civil rights movement, to an endangered work of art. The documentary features the carousel operator mother-and-son team or Irene and Max Hurley, Maryland State Senator Gwendolyn Britt, who protested the park’s segregation policy in 1960, Town of Glen Echo Councilmember Nancy Long, who led the efforts to save the carousel from being sold, restoration artist Rosa Ragan, and several families, including the Wilsons of University Ave., who recall their happy rides. The screening will include a question-and-answer session and an invitation to audience members to share their memories of visiting Glen Echo Park and riding the carousel. Text Box: Building oRDINANCE (FROM PAGE 1) Councilmember Long stressed that the land use decisions of the county should always be examined; had the town blindly followed the decisions of the county, five homes instead of two would have been built at the top of Bryn Mawr Ave. The mayor added that the town does not need its own building code but would benefit greatly if the county would enforce its own codes. She noted that people who fail to obtain building permits can be imprisoned for a year, although the county prosecutor does not enforce this provision. She added that the town attorney would probably advise the town that some formalized procedure of redress be established in the event a permit were denied. Town resident Eleanor Balaban pointed out that it often takes the county a month to grant a building permit. Councilmember Matney inquired about the possibility of a town requirement that the town permit be secured within seven days of applying for a permit from the county, in order for the town to have sufficient time for due process. Because of her concern for residents who through no fault of their own were a day late, the mayor proposed that it be made possible for a violation to be waived in such cases. Councilmember Matney proposed that a “waived by Council” phrase be added. The mayor said she would circulate a revision for further review.
