“Light the City — Georgetown,” a community celebration of unity and faith, is set to take place on the evening of Sept. 12, beginning with a 5:30 p.m Vigil Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church. At 6:30 p.m., a list of participating houses of worship will be handed out, along with candles for those wishing to be “Human Luminaries” as they walk from the west side of Georgetown, praying at or visiting churches and synagogues along the way, to a gathering at Epiphany Catholic Church on the east side of Georgetown at 8 p.m.

The event parallels a Dupont Circle community of faith event called “Light the City,” also set for Sept. 12 and beginning at St. Matthews Catholic Cathedral, which started the event this past winter. The concept is based on “Night Fever,” which began in Germany in 2005, following the 20th World Youth Day in Cologne, and takes place in more than 80 cities across Europe, Australia and North and South America.

Presidential hopefuls Donald Trump and Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) appeared at a rally opposing President Obama’s nuclear deal with Iran alongside former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, conservative radio personalities Glenn Beck and Mark Levin, and Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” fame.

“I’ve never seen something so incompetently negotiated — and I mean never,” Trump told the crowd in his signature businessman bravado. Cruz, on the other hand, warned that the deal could lead to an Iran developing a nuclear weapon that could “kill millions.” The two have become allies of sorts and didn’t dig at each other, despite being opponents in the GOP’s presidential primary. Trump remarked, “Ted Cruz was out there and he really backed me very strongly, and I always respected that. He asked me to come along, and I guess he figured we’d get a big crowd and we certainly have.” [gallery ids="102309,126901,126909,126916,126923,126929,126937,126945,126952,126894,126888,126959,126964,126849,126976,126860,126867,126873,126881,126970" nav="thumbs"]

“Light the City — Georgetown,” a community celebration of unity and faith, is set to take place on the evening of Sept. 12, beginning with a Vigil Mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church at 5:30 p.m. At 6:30 p.m., a list of participating houses of worship will be handed out, along with candles for those wishing to be “Human Luminaries” as they walk from the west side of Georgetown, praying at or visiting churches and synagogues along the way, to a gathering at Epiphany Catholic Church on the east side of Georgetown at 8 p.m.

The event parallels a Dupont Circle community of faith event called “Light the City,” also set for Sept. 12 and beginning at St. Matthews Catholic Cathedral, which started the event this past winter. The concept is based on “Night Fever,” which began in Germany in 2005, following the 20th World Youth Day in Cologne, and takes place in more than 80 cities across Europe, Australia and North and South America.

The organizers have this advice for those who wish to participate: “We hope that you will encourage others along the way to take part in the procession inviting them to say a prayer for peace and unity as we share our light of faith and love of neighbor. This is not a race. Go at your own pace. Perhaps choose four to six churches to visit and end at Epiphany at 8 p.m. for refreshments and a closing blessing.”

Activists gathered Aug. 25 in front of the Georgetown home of Secretary of State John Kerry and his wife Teresa Heinz to urge him to stop the expansion of the Canadian oil company Enbridge’s Alberta Clipper tar sands pipeline.

As police cut off vehicular traffic to the 3300 block of O Street NW, about 60 persons chanted, “Hey, John Kerry, come out. We got some shit to talk about. … Shut this pipeline down. Calm this crisis down . . ” One of the signs showed Kerry as a young man who protested the Vietnam War and argued for a cleaner environment.

The pipeline runs from Hardisty, Alberta, to Superior, Wisconsin.

The group Midwest Unrest, Energy Action Coalition and others contend that “Through a backroom deal with the State Department, the Canadian oil company Enbridge is proceeding with a massive expansion of its Alberta Clipper tar sands pipeline without going through the legally required environmental review process.”

“For two years we have sent petitions, called the White House, and brought thousands of people to rally against this scandal, but Secretary Kerry has still not responded or done anything to stop it,” said Kendall Mackey, national tar sands campaign manager with Energy Action Coalition and one of the main organizers of the event. “With our communities and our future on the line, we have no choice but to bring our message right to Secretary Kerry’s front door to expose this dangerous and illegal scheme and urge him to put a stop to the Alberta Clipper pipeline.”

“We are faced with a monumental decision,” said Greta Herrin, a student from Kalamazoo, Michigan, the site of a 2010 tar sands spill. “The safety of our waterways and the health of our communities rests in the hands of Secretary Kerry. He has the power to prevent further Enbridge disasters.”

Kerry did not come to the front door of his O Street home to talk to the protesters. He is likely still on vacation in New England. [gallery ids="102301,127577,127572,127565,127556" nav="thumbs"]

Residents lost power around 31st and P Streets NW Aug. 17, prompting many to recall the days of 2000, when the popping of manhole covers was a common occurrence along M Street. A manhole cover let out smoke into the intersection, indicating burnt wiring underground. According to Pepco, about 170 customers were affected. Most had power restored just before midnight the same day; a few had power restored the next morning. Neighbors were complimentary of the swift, thorough work by Pepco workers on the scene.
