The D.C. Council held hearings this week on youths who are released from the Oak Hill detention facility before they are ready to rejoin the community -- an issue I have addressed in several columns. The hearing focused on the behavior of troubled youths on D.C. streets. Today, we venture inside the barbed-wire fences. Another day at Oak Hill? More like the anatomy of an assault. On Sept. 30, a government source alerted me that youths had attacked an Oak Hill correctional officer two days earlier.

William "Grady" Malone, 98, a Veterans Administration lawyer who had a private legal practice after retiring from federal service, died March 3 at the Jefferson senior living community in Arlington County. He had congestive heart failure, said his daughter Helen Malone. Mr. Malone joined the VA in 1945 and worked from 1953 until his retirement in 1979 in the office of the general counsel. From 1979 to 1993, he ran his private law practice in Arlington, focusing on wills, estates and probate work.

After slamming the ball through the basket with all his might despite being fouled, Keith Gallon stood under the basket, nodding his head with his tongue fully extended. Yes, the guy they call Tiny -- all 6 feet 9 and 290 pounds of him -- was having some fun. With two of the nation's high school basketball titans doing battle and plenty of their peers and college coaches watching courtside while a crowd standing three deep lined the gymnasium, there seemed little question that Gallon, a California native headed to play at Oklahoma, was...

Hidden behind an enclave of 1970s-era colonials, split-levels and ranches at the end of an oyster-shell driveway lined with ancient, 20-foot boxwoods, the Oak Hill manor house in Annandale has fallen into disrepair. Vacant for four years, struck sporadically by vandals and finally sold in foreclosure last month on Fairfax County's courthouse steps, Oak Hill's fate has proved that not even a 220-year-old historic gem is immune from the real estate market's downturn. But unlike many properties touched by the rash of...

The storied basketball rivalry between Montrose Christian and Oak Hill Academy added another intriguing chapter on Wednesday in West Virginia. Mustangs junior Therence Mayimba drained a three-pointer with 2.8 seconds left in the game's third overtime to secure Montrose Christian's 54-53 victory at the Big Atlantic Classic. The win avenged a 65-48 loss to Oak Hill earlier this season and marked the third meeting in the last three seasons to reach at least double overtime.

A fight that broke out at a youth detention center resulted in a principal being assaulted and one youth treated at a hospital for a swollen eye, authorities said. The fight erupted Friday about 11:30 a.m. while representatives from local universities were holding a college fair at the District's Oak Hill Youth Center in Laurel. Officials from the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services said that two youths began fighting and that two others joined them. "Staff jumped in and split it up pretty...

A D.C. Superior Court judge has dismissed a murder charge against a man who worked at the school serving the District's juvenile detention facility in Laurel. James W. Irving, 42, had been charged this month with felony murder in the August 1998 slaying of Michael N. Womack, 24, outside a Southeast Washington apartment building. One of the bullets pierced the building and wounded a 10-year-old boy who had been asleep in bed. Judge Harold L. Cushenberry Jr. dismissed the case Friday, finding no probable...

I would like to add one more reason to those listed by Helen M. Alvaré and Meg T. McDonnell concerning why pro-lifers don't give up the fight [" Fighting the good fight against Roe, 40 years later ," op-ed, March 2]. In explaining his reversal from atheist, pro-abortion activist to Catholic pro-lifer, the late Dr. Bernard Nathanson , a co-founder of the precursor to NARAL Pro-Choice America, cited the moral witness of the Catholic pro-life community — the very group he had targeted and vilified in his abortion activist days.

Suggestions that the GOP needs to move even further to the right [" Party coalition at a crossroads ," front page, Nov. 8] highlight the central issue of the party's downfall. From Richard Nixon through Bob Dole, I was a Republican, and there are, like me, millions of fiscally conservative Americans who believe that the Democratic Party has never been the best steward of our money. But a party that continues to tell 50 percent of the population what they can and cannot do with their bodies, 5 percent whom they can marry and 10 percent...

Maya Angelou has dozens of honorary doctorate degrees, speaks several languages and is recognized all over the world for the more than 30 books she's written. But when she visited the Oak Hill Youth Center in Laurel yesterday, Angelou told dozens of young men that she was not all that different from them. She was abandoned as a child, raped at age 7 by her mother's boyfriend and became a teenage prostitute. Life isn't about taking back, she said, but adding to what already exists.

When the final buzzer sounded, one Montrose Christian player darted for his family in the seats. Another claimed the championship trophy and walked around the court with it held high above his head. Two teammates cried. Another proudly waved his home country's flag. Top-ranked Montrose Christian had just outlasted Oak Hill Academy, 71-64 in double overtime, to win the National High School Invitational basketball tournament on Saturday at Georgetown Prep. "That was a great basketball...

Regarding the Jan. 25 news story " Occupy D.C. faces crackdown on camping ": In all the hubbub and wrangling surrounding the occupying of McPherson Square by protesters, against what I'm not sure, there is something of prime importance that is not being addressed — the cost of restoring the park when the hostilities and silliness cease and everyone goes home. A few points: ●If using public land does not require a permit, it should. ●If the permit does not include particulars about numbers of people, hours of use, and purpose, it...
