dr. greene, you mentioned screening and brief interventions. many people in the audience may not know what this program is all about. do you want to tell us a little more? i will be happy to, yvette. one of the things that howard university and howard university hospital has identified was that we have a large population of at-risk drinkers, substance abuse patients, and that we wanted to find a way to try to really help our population. we didn't have enough social workers or frontline people to do it. so what we had done was put together a proposal to train our residents. and samhsa was very helpful in that and provided us with a grant to train our residents and our staff about screening, brief intervention, and referral for treatment. so when a patient comes in on whatever service... they may not have come in for an alcohol or substance abuse problem, but the results of the discussion may have been screening that patient just to see, is this person at risk? and once you have done that, you really go through a process of educating the resident

dr. greene, final thoughts? i would like to just say that promoting the community think tanks such as dc rock and other such initiatives that are there to help and provide additional services, they address needs... are a way for us to combine the health care professionals to outside community organizations so we aren't out there alone. there are other people who are working on these initiatives, and we need to combine our efforts. jane, final thoughts? one final thought: i think it's really helpful when communities have people like jordan and wendy, our doctor, involved in these kinds of efforts. it's so essential to have young people become good community problem solvers and its really, really important to have our professionals in the community working on these problems, not only from a programmatic aspect but from a systems change and policy aspect because we all know there's good programs out there, but it's really necessary to take them to scale and institutionalize them. very good. and if communities want

green garage llc ." it is ironic the developer did not use another name. i respectfully ask that the planning commission take dr on this project and retain its present use. converting this to condos will destroy historic elements, including open interior space, and essentially destroyed a linchpin of our neighborhood. thank you very much. >> good afternoon. i am sara. i happen to be a member of the board of russian hill neighbors. also, one of the points that has not been brought up, you have heard testimony about how it will hurt the neighborhood. one of the point that has not been up is the fact that russian hill is one of the densest populated areas of the city, with the steepest ' and the least public transportation going through the corridors. i realize the city is stressing transit first, but you cannot stress that when there is not transit. a lot of us need cars -- there are a lot of elderly and families with children. i have to deliver -- get shopping for meals for 60 seniors at the senior center. there are needs for automobiles and their army to get up steep hills. -- there are needs to get up steep hi

dr. lyons i have to say i almost feel sorry for you. you know what's going on here. it devotee of the audience knows what is going on here. the democrats, mr. inslee, mr. green, all the republicans know what's going on here and it's unfortunate we even have to have this hearing. the process of debating or what to do with high-level and low-level nuclear waste began when i was a state representative in new hampshire and in the early 1980's and i believe there was a site in new hampshire that was under consideration of some of the earlier rounds we've done through an excruciatingly detailed analysis. we passed legislation. there's been battles that have occurred as we heard over different administrations the different parties and it's been bipartisan and we've come to as good a conclusion as we have possibly come to which is a great national the importance, and then the energy secretary at the president and perhaps others that have a political interest in this issue stop the project, potentially incurred expense of legislation, waste can and possibly less $25 billion tax payers' money of the criteria and social acceptance which is an interesting comment and ev
