the closest community. folks hire and in neighboring frederick are bracing themselves for a very busy weekend including an all-out traffic nightmare. police say they are going to have more men and women on the streets for the first time. a joint council of officers from eight different maryland agencies including local universities like morgan state university, and baltimore and university of maryland, they will all be here working to keep the peace. >> most cities that get notified about an event like this get two years planning time. we've had actually eight weeks. it's really, really been a hard assignment, a tough assignment. this is unlike anything we've ever seen in frederick county. >> it's a lot of protestors down here. and you know, you just don't know who's who. >> we have some plywood that in case we get a broken window. >> reporter: now, there is no indication of violence but as you can hear from the last soundbyte some shop owners are bracing themselves for the

we have a special buddy check for you this morning. women helping women the goal of the new initiative being launched at the howard university cancer center. it's called women of promise. the project is funded over the next two years by a $200,000 grant from komen. >> sylvia jones? >> the target group is women ages 24 to 74 with an aggressive outreach to those

living in ward 7 and 8. >> we're especially looking for those women who have not had screening in the past two years and they have been discorrected and we want to get them back into care. >> the project director carla williams says volunteer ambassadors will be buddies to at least to of their peers. they'll encourage and support them in getting a mammogram and educate them about early detection as a healthy choice for life. >> we see that d.c. really still experiences a lot of cancer health disparities especially when it comes to breast cancer. so for example a woman living in ward 5 or ward 8 is twice as likely to die from breast cancer compared to someone living in ward 3. so because of that we figured that one of the best ways to reach women was with other women they already know and trust. >> women of promise hopes to reach more than 2,000 women having at least 70% of them actually getting a mammogram will be a clear measure of success. >> that's really a tall order because women often times even if we reach them with

information they don't make the transition to care. that's really the benchmark. how many women are actually getting the screening? >> i'll be at howard university's cancer center next tuesday, may 22nd as an honorary women of promise ambassador to help kick off the project. and thank you for watching 9news now at 6:00 a.m. i'm andrea roane. >> you made it to friday. isn't that good? i'm deck deck, mike hydeck, here's monika samtani. >> updates on the water main break in rosslyn. >> a gorgeous weekend. >> for the preakness to the air show to got college lacrosse finals in annapolis. got some graduations i think still going on. >> movie premieres walking to that movie. >> very busy week. sunshine now hitting the white house and the washington monument and the smithsonian in the band-aid. sun came up a few minutes ago. clear skies 55 degrees just a
