we are on the corner of thornapple and beachwood drive this. type of debris is literally scattered all throughout the neighborhood. folks are dealing with a huge headache and no air or power. crowes, working around the clock to bring power back to many neighborhoods. and as soon as the electricity comes back on, folks are cranking up the ac, doing their laundry. but pepco now warns to you conserve the energy, because the system stressed. vees cents say -- residents say so are we. >> this right there is the main power. be careful because it is live. >> i have been calling pep co-since 10:30 friday. they have laughed at me, hung up on me, told me they didn't have a report. >> they were very respectful. unfortunately, every day i called, i got different information. >> reporter: so there are obviously communication issues and then you have this destruction that you see behind me in certain neighborhoods. weapon co-is not saying don't use your ac, they are just saying set it at 78 degrees. guess what pepco is also wanting you to pay nor for the ele

delia has more. >> reporter: we are here on thornapple and beachwood drive.a downed utility pole snapped in half that. tanged the mess -- tangled the mess of wire and debris. this is one of the biggest outages so far that we have noticed. 70 people still in the dark. crews worked hard to restore the power. the frustration will probably only mount in next week when the public service commission considers a 66% rate increase. the commission says not so fast. >> pepco had not been maintaining its system to the level we expected. we would disallow the portion of that spending we thought was attributable to this historic neglect. >> one last look here. residents are hoping they get relief from pepco soon and crews will come to the area especially to restore power. >>> thank you, dellia. in the district elementary schools are closed and the following schools in fairfax are closed, beach tree, wake forest and westlawn elementary and stewart high school. in montgomery county chef have i chase elementary, north wood high, rocking horse, stone gate elementary, washingt

pepco customers have had their power restored, but there are small pockets like sycamore street and beachwood drive in chevy chase that are still off line. >> it hasn't been much fun. but we've done the best we can. >> what are you doing? >> actually, we have relatives in the area, so, some of us who live here have gone to that house, but i've stayed here with one of my kids just to hunker down and do the best we can. >> reporter: if you are still without power, pepco says it's critical to continue to report your outage so they know where to send the crews. >> we need them to keep calling us back to rereport their outage so that we know that they're out. as we work our way back into neighborhoods, they need to keep calling, three, four times a day. >> reporter: and there's a pretty impressive pace going on here in chevy chase. we left this morning around 8:30 to run around and get interviews else where. when we came back right around 10:00 they put in that power pole. they swapped out one that had been snapped in this storm. they're making pretty fast progress, but, again, still a lot of pock

next is bruce, a democrat in beachwood, ohio. you're on, bruce. caller: good morning. by listening to what everybody is saying, you know, one way that jobs can be created is to first, you have to try to get them supposedly, you're going to have to try to get the manufacturers to bring those overseas jobs that they have outsourced back to the united states. you can do this by giving them tax break just like obama to give these companies a 20% tax break if they would bring those jobs back -- if those companies would come back to the united states. will that work? maybe, maybe not. because let's be realistic. a lot of these companies go overseas because they can hire workers overseas for less than minimum wage. minimum wage here is $7 an hour, and $7.50 an hour. you can go overseas and hire somebody for 2 -- $2 or $3 in india. all of these places that these items are being made by these companies are being made by somebody who's making less than minimum wage. now, will a tax break bring back a job or bring back these jobs to the united states? maybe, maybe not. but it's a

in beachwood, ohio, a suburb east of cleveland there is a national memorial to david burger, an american citizen, one of the 11 israeli team members killed in munich. as a nation we honor his memory, we honored that memory of his israeli teammates, we also have a moral responsibility to hold those responsible for his death accountable. holding those responsible includes those who supported and financed the terrorists who perpetrated these actions. we had the chance to hold libya accountable yet during negotiations that led to the 2008 u.s.-libya claims settlement agreement mr. burger was not included despite, despite widely accepted evidence that libya played an important role in the massacre. we know the qadhafi region supported terrorist groups like the black september organization, supported them and it welcomed the bodies of the dead terrorists from the munich massacre to a heroes' tribute. seeking just and compensation for victims of global terrorism sends a powerful message to those who may be seeking to do further harm. in the window of opportunity to engage the new libyan governm
