Text Box: AROUND TOWN Text Box: . Maryland is one of 25 states with red light camera programs. Montgomery County instituted the use of photo enforcement in October of 1999 with 10 cameras. Today there are 40 cameras county-wide at 35 intersections. The current locations of red light cameras are available on the Montgomery County Police website at www.montgomerycountymd.gov/police, under automated traffic enforcement. Photo enforcement cameras are placed in intersections and photograph vehicles after the light turns red. A picture of the vehicle’s license plate is taken and sent to the violator. Violators in Montgomery County receive a $75 civil citation for running a red light. County Councilman Roger Berliner has convened an Infill Development Task Force to address the problem of older homes being torn down and being replaced with “infill” houses that are of disproportionate size compared to the surrounding houses. According to The Mohican Hills Citizen, its purpose is to develop policy recommendations and create a framework for proposing county legislation to replace the current zoning code, which took effect in 1956 and has some parts written as early as 1928. The Glen Echoers Barbershop Quartet will sing songs of the past on Sunday, Sept. 9 from 3:00-4:00 p.m. at the River Center at Lockhouse 8, which is maintained by the Potomac Conservancy. One member of the quartet is Richard Cook, a long-time historian of Glen Echo and the vicinity. He began collecting Glen Echo artifacts—bottles or broken china from the Oakdale Villa hotel-- on the hill below Text Box: Wellesley Circle when he was still a teenager, some 40 years ago. The restoration of the old Sycamore Store building at the corner of Walhonding Rd. and MacArthur Blvd. has finally been approved by the Montgomery County Board of Appeals after a three-and-a-half year struggle. A letter in The Mohican Hills Citizen from owners Dean Brenneman and Peter Pagenstecher indicates they will convert the old store into an architectural and administrative office. Opened as a grocery store in 1919 by Hugh Johnston, it was both store and residence for the Rogers family until 1995, when it was sold. Some local residents fought hard to prevent this old landmark from continuing as a commercial establishment, but were finally overruled by the county. Bruce Douglas was walking his dog one night recently in Mohican Hills when he felt something biting his neck and ruffling his hair. He then saw a bat flying away. Since the bat could not be captured, the state Office of Health and Mental Hygiene told him, he would need the anti-rabies treatment at a hospital emergency room. Luckily, the days of painful shots in the abdomen are long past, he wrote in The Mohican Hills Citizen, and all he needed was one dose of a human immune globulin (HIG) to protect him while the vaccine was producing his own immune response, plus five doses of vaccine over a 28 day period. He wrote that he found them no more bothersome than a typical flu shot. He was also told that this post-exposure treatment is a medical urgency, but not a medical emergency
