CounCil Support~ Move to Designate Center School as a Historic Site

By Bill Rowland The preservation of Greenbelt Center School in its

or~inal exterior appearance was given a significant boost ~m. December 5 when Greenbelt's city council decided to JOin with the Art Deco Society of Washington in asking that. the building be designated as a county historic site. The move by council is aimed at saving the landmark structure while at the same time encouraging the county Board of Education to renovate the interior of the building for continuing classroom use. The concurrent recommen­dations. of the city and the Art Deco Society must now be cons1dered by the Prince Georges County Historic Pres· er:vation Commission and be given final approval by the coonty council.

The city's decision came after council had earlier in the evening eonducted a public hearing on the subject. During the hearinlf, Leta Mach, President of the school'• PTA, gave the views of that or­ganization to council. In a pr.;_ pared statement, Mach recalled that the PTA had "emphasized the heritage of our school" in a statement to the Board of Edu­cation in August, an<j "That Is why we asked that the front wall of the school be saved when the building Ia renovated." But, Mach told council, "The prilllarr eon­cern of the Greenbelt Center Elementary School PTA is the education of ·our children. For that reason, we stroqly support the desperately needed renova­tion of Center School. . .. We have no objection to the designa­tion of Center School as a county historic site If this dulgnatlon does not jeopardize or postpone the renovation of the school."

Mach sul!'rested that ". . . it may well be that the best way to renovate . . . would involve

· knocking out a wall such as the (·nortlr.t'acing exterior) cafeteria wall, which is not original. . . . We believe flexibllit7 is crucial to meeting the educational need~ of our school and preservin~r its special character." Mach conclud­ed by sayinll'. that ·"The ... PTA is happy to support anything which recognizes the special worth of our school while still permitting it to change as con­ditionA require."

Other Spokesmen Alan Virta, President of thf!

co~ant)''a Hlatorie Pre~~ervaUon Commluion, told council that the PTA position is ·;ompatible with the hiatoric site preservation II'Uidelines. R I c h a r d Striner, President of the Art Det'o· SO­ciety of Washington, expressed his pleasure with the PTA po­sition.

Council also heard from Keith Chemlkoff and Albert Herling, both of whom supportrd the pro­posed designation of the school u a historic site. Herling ex­prelsed concern that the eombl-

nation of preservation and reno­vation might lead to thoughts of moving part or all of the build­ing's facade. He voiced his hope that the facade will be left where it 'is Iii what he called ih "original glory."

Council alae considllt'ed a re­port by the city's Advisory Plan­ning Board, which recommended that the city join with the Art Deco SOciety as a co.-sponsor. Ac­cording to APB, designation as a historic aite would permit r o u t i n e maintenance of the school's exterior. Charipa to the exterior would require guidance by historical preservationist& and approval b)' the county's Historic Preservation Commlsaion. If the dty objected to such changes, a

. two· thirds vote of the Commis­sion would be necessary before the changes could proceed. tn addition, the city would get to review any work permit applica­tion for exterior work before ita approval.

Council members had some misgivings because no represen­tative of the Board of Education had a'\WIMIM-·ttle JMI•lle tlearinr. There wu also concern that the Board of Education could decide on a coat baa is not to renovate a "preserved" Center School but instead to transfer Ita educational functions elsewhere.

Nonetheleas, co:ncn v o ted unanlmoualy to join In aponaor­shlp of the historic site appllea­tion, but with the eoncema of Center School PTA that renO­vation not be jeopardized or de­layed made a part of the city'~ request.

Green .. lt Profile

Toni Dram . 8 • A Woman on Council by Suclra Bam•

Antoinette (Toni) Bram is Greenbelt's nflwest city councilmember, elected in a tough-fought conte11t in Sep­tember. Guarding her pri­vacy, and somewhat wary of the press, she graciously welcomes this reporter into her home. She answers ques­tions with forthrightness in spite of her earlier hesita-, tion about being intervievyed.

- Bram livet in an order~t:"" fortable aplit-level od home with her huaband,~ph, and two children, Jennlf r and Tim. A aeeond daughter 1 mar­ried and a third lives on the Uni­venity of Maryland campus.

knocked on every door In Green· belt except. a few that her bus­band Ralph called on. Ralph sllk­acreened her signa In the back­yard one hot summer day. He }W,d never done it before. But, witm a litt.le help from the art supply atore and their daurh-. ter, Simone, who knew something about the •ilkaereeninr process they managed to print 100 signs. The election was a :family aftair, which even her 82-year old moth­er joined, handing out literature at the polls on tbat sultry elec­tion day afternoon.

Once elected in her own right, Dram feels llhe has eamed the reapect of the entire council. "We work as a team," she proclaims. She &ays she senses none of the hostility that marked her during the dispute over filling the va­cancy.

Moreover, 1he says she is an independent person on the city council and doesn't mind If oth· ers dl111rree with her. "I'm no one'• clone," &he pointedly re­mam. "I do my own research and I make my own decleions bated on the greater good."

and Ralph were ftrat · married. They moved around the country and abroad for several yean while Ralph wu being trana­ferred from one job to another. Then the family returned to Greenbelt. She baa been aotive in numerous volunteer orranaationa.

She had graduated from col­lege, but over the years had taken courses in Rome, Italy; San Die­go, Califomia; Lafayette, Indi· time - to the family's second and design - whatever Interest­ed her at the time. Finally, .Iter eoming back to Greenbelt the laat time - in the family's Hc:ond home in Boxwood (they sold the firat one when they moved briefly to Florida, coming _ll_ack to buy the house next door), abe decided she would pursue a degree In ur­ban studies at the Univeraity of Maryland at nig'ht. She did this and graduated summa cum laude. Then she enrolled In graduate school during the day, working toward a history degree becauae that's where her real intereats lie. The election forced her to drop out for a semester.

She enjoys ~ehool, but feels that even at the University of Maryl&nd, women - particularly older women - are dlaerimlnated apinat. She n~aentl the patron­Izing air of some male profeaeors but 11y1 1he will not be deterred from eamlng her degree.

Bram baa mtle to aay about the bitter diiiJIIIte waged in her ftrat try for a seat on the City Council. When then Mayor Rich­ard Cutaldl was elected to the County Council, Toni was among eight candidate~ seeking to fill the vacancy. She gamered two vote. while candidate Bob Zug­by held the remaining two votes. No councilman wanted to cha~e hla vote and the city aeemed locked In a bitter power atrunle. Bram then witlldrew her name and Zuaby waa awolnted. She dlaliked tile controveray and did not want to throw the city Into a coatly election just a few months before the regular election waa to be held, abe 11y1.

It waan't until Kay or June, abe recall•, that :trienda encour­aged her to run :tor the city eouncU and abe serioualy eon­aidered the matter. This would be her very ftrat try at political olllce In her own ript. Prevl­oualy, abe had worked in the campaigns of otbera, had ae"ed on a host of committees, had performed numeroua volunteer jobs - from wuhinr dlahea at a St. Hugh's pot luck to coaching the Boya and Glrle Club baaket­ball team - aa well a1 being on the city'• Advlaory Plannl~ Board and the Parka and Reere· ation Advisory Board - that convinced her abe knew enough people and had enourh elt1)1ri­ence to be aleeted. Nevertlhele11, abe feela \hat "It Ia hard for a woman to run for anything." Look at the elty, lbe geaturea and exelalma, "It'• run &llmo1t entlraly by men!"

9he readily admita tbat she had atrong dl11greementa with. members of the Adviaory Plan­ning Board (APB) and Parka arid Recreation Advisory Board (PRAB) on luuea, but tho1e ~~~me people whom abe battled were among her atrongeat aup­portera when abe decided to run for the city council, ahe notea.

'nlere are lftgnificant iaauea facing the city, abe 11y1. "The Inter-county connector Ia not dead," and abe fean the traflle congestion tbat would ensue it that hhrhway ever permanently reaurreetl itaelf. She is con­cemed about development and quality control, and air pollution in Greenbelt, noting that i.t waa so high this year that for the first time Greenbelt waa rerularly mentioned by ~he Council of Government. for haaardoua air quality.

Doe• abe a1111re to any other oft\ee! "I'm not a political per­~an," ahe proclaims. She enjoy• being on the city council. But she .alao wantl to protect her prl· vaey - dUBeult to achieve when one live1 in a amall town and Is

Two fixtures of Greenbelt life since the earliest days of the city - the Co-op grocery store (including ita pharmacr> and the Co-op gas station - have a most uncertain future. The Board of Directors of the parent organization, Greenbelt Co. operative, Inc. (GCI), decid­ed on December 17 that GCI will divest itself of ita mon­ey-losing supermarket and service station divisions, if possible by the end of March. At the same time, the board directed Gel's operating management to develop pre­liminary plans for major ex­pansion of its only remain­ing operating division, the profitable SCAN furniture stores ; to work out criteria for GCI to enter into an un­apecif)ed new business ; to re­duce overhead ; and tp devel­op '1capltal and organization­al structure" plans, includ­ing stock conversion or re­purchase.

According to a written GCI statement of t-he board decision, "Operating management is dir­reeted to prpvide by March 1 ... complete plans for divesting by Mareh 1, 1984, ·with no •le to be effective until March 81, 1984, and with the flrat option to be avail­llible to an existing cooperat've, community, member and/or em­ployee group, provided that auch a cooperative or group has S\lb-· mltted a eredk-worthy propoaai as ~eeepted by a financial lnatl­tutlon by the first of March 1984."

The GCI release cites Satake as recognlziilc the particular im­portance of the Co-Op food store to Greenbelt residents. Al'.eOrdr­ing to the release, Satake has said the GCI goal Is to sell the store to some other supermar­ket operator or a community group that would continue to operate a food store In the Cen­ter. In the wprds of t,M release, "Witflll'l the next 'Week;· Satne said, GCI will begin work with the community If there is an in­terest to take over the food store."

The GCI release refers to the "dosing" of the food and service station divisions. However, Sa­take, in talking to the Newa Review, emphasized strongly that "We are not going to close the store• .... We are going to keep t'hem open ~til .w.e find a bu:r­er." He expre~ls belief that the food stores could be sold to an Independent buyer within ll short time, although he ·aald he had no one apeelfteally in mind. He repeated the prioritJ riven b)" the GCI ·board to tommunlty groupa, other cooperative~, mem­bers or employees as po11ible purchasers, but volunteered hla own realization that purchaae by a community aroup is not too fea~lble.
