Anybody have details about the speeding car incident over the weekend?
I understand from a neighbor that the driver was drunk and was
apprehended along Mass. Ave. after fleeing the scene.

(Washington, DC) Mayor Adrian M. Fenty today announced that Clark Ray

"Clark Ray has extensive experience in neighborhood and constituent

prove very valuable to the residents, visitors and business owners of
the District of Columbia."

As director of the Mayor's Office of Community Relations and Services,
Ray will be responsible for leading the charge to improve the quality of
life for District residents by ensuring that all communities are clean,
safe, healthy, and economically vibrant. He also will play a key role in
ensuring that city government agencies provide coordinated and scheduled
delivery of high-quality basic services for every resident, visitor, and
business owner.

Clark Ray, Director, Mayor's Office of Community Relations and Services.

Results-oriented visionary Clark Ray brings more than 20 years of
community outreach, executive leadership, and education and training
experience to the District of Columbia government. Clark's prior work
in the former Office of Neighborhood Services will be a tremendous asset
to the Executive Office of Mayor Adrian M. Fenty.

In August 2004, Ray was named the director of external affairs of the DC
Sports and Entertainment Commission, a position he held until being
named the director of MOCRS. As director at the Commission, Ray oversaw,
coordinated and managed the location, design and construction of
recreational sports facilities in the District. While serving in this
capacity, he also was responsible for developing and monitoring project
budgets as well as implementing and maintaining a community outreach
plan to ensure that facility designs, development and operations took
into their consideration valuable community input.

>From 2000 to 2004, Clark served as Neighborhood Services Coordinator in
the Office of Neighborhood Services in the Executive Office of the
Mayor. Under the Neighborhood Service Initiative, he was responsible for
developing a core team of District Government agency representatives
while simultaneously establishing systems to monitor and maintain the
coordination of timely responses to service needs of District residents.
As a team leader and coach to Core Team members from participating
agencies, he identified persistent and chronic problems throughout the
city's eight wards and developed and organized short and long term work
plans to meet each need.

In 2000, after serving in the Clinton-Gore White House for six years,
(which included being detailed to several federal agencies), Ray served
as deputy campaign manager/chief of staff to Tipper Gore for GORE 2000.
In this position, he was a member of Vice President Al Gore's senior
campaign management team and monitored and approved expenditures
associated with Mrs. Gore's campaign-related activities and events.

Ray has a master's in education from Temple University and a Bachelor of
Science from the University of Arkansas.

I am happy to report that we have made two arrests in regard to the
white car that we believe was involved in the theft of copper
downspouts in the Chevy Chase area. Around 1 pm, the auto theft unit
stopped a white Buick Regal, on South Dakota Avenue, NE, and evidence
was recovered that leads us to believe the two men, in addition to
being in a stolen car, were involved in the thefts.
