Flames damaged part of the nursery and garden center. No one was hurt. Investigators are looking for a cause. We turn now to the weather. A cooler day around the metro area. A little bit breezy. Were preparing for the official beginning of fall, which is later tonight. How does a chief meteorologist celebrate the official start of fall . A good question. 10 29 tonight could be in my first rem cycle. All depends. 10 29. That is the time it goes from summer to autumn, the autumnal equinox. Very cool and clear right now.

M. To 9 00 a. M. Over western sections of allegany county, maryland, garret county, and adjacent sections of West Virginia and pennsylvania. The chillier air the story this week or a warming trend . Well let you know in a few minutes. Thank you. Well, there is a controversy brewing around the principal of Largo High School. Some Prince Georges County ouncil members want anolik Simpson Marcus removed from her position after complaints and a lawsuit. She has the support of many students and parents. Well go live to Largo High School with what the controversy is all about. Brad . Well, its about complaints of racism and harassment. And tonight the president of the Prince Georges County chapter of the naacp is joining the call for this principal at largo high to step aside or be fired. Its a push being led, as you said, by a Council Member. In a highly unusual situation, Prince Georges CountyCouncil Member mary lehman is making strong demands about largo high principal dr. Angelic simpsonmarcus. I want her to be terminated, taken out of that building. Simpsonmarcus has repeatedly been accused of racism in her treatment of white staff at the 1100student high school. In august, a jury awarded a. Red teacher 350,000 he alleged he was targeted because of his race. Last week the county settled another lawsuit for an undisclosed sum. In that case a former School Secretary claimed simpsonmarcus openly despised white teachers calling them poor white trash and bozo. The secretary, herself africanamerican, claims the principal called her the slang terms chicken head, bird, hood rat, and ghetto. It is deplorable what is going on at Largo High School, and is continuing to go on the fact that pgs is standing behind the principal right now. The school ceo Kevin Maxwell did not respond to our request for comment today but sent lehman a tersely worded email saying, quote, i will not tolerate racism in any form. But simpsonmarcus remains on the job her secretary telling us by phone she will not resign. She seems to have support of at least some of the staff and students we spoke to. Ive never seen her be racist. Ive never seen that. This is my second year here and i think she is just a strong principal. I hope she does not resign. Now, we reported that a jury ordered a 350,000 settlement to one teacher who won his lawsuit. The School System had said theyre going to appeal that and hope to get the amount lowered. But one expense that cannot be lowered is how much was paid to lawyers to defend the principal over the years. We asked for that number today. We have not gotten a response from the School System. The Council Member said she, too, wants that number and is going to be demanding answers. At Largo High School, brad bell, abc 7 news. We have breaking news tonight. The ravens are addressing an outside the lines report about who, what, when, about the ray rice case. Sports director tim brant here with what the ravens own heard to say. He said his integrity and character was challenged and thats why the steve owner called the News Conference to answer any and all questions with regard to the ray rice case and the way the Ravens Organization handled the situation and the way its being reported. He says that he is sorry that he didnt get the video of the assault sooner but he disputes what espn had reported about downplaying the incident or asking for lenience for rice or getting the video earlier. He says the ravens didnt see the video before it was released and he said idiosyncrasy that he said that the people in his organization handled the whole thing properly and no one will lose their jobs over this. He said he is responding with the facts and he knows, as he knows them to be. The ravens owner says most of the information that is getting out there is coming from ray rice, his attorney, hi agent, and that they are making a case for rays reinstatement into the nfl. He also said he has been interviewed three times by Network Correspondents and answered every question honestly. He went on to make the case that james brown of cbs asked 34 questions and cbs aired only five answers. So his side of the story, he says, was not getting out. I wish that they had at least acknowledged that during their fact finding they were getting the majority of this ory from people who are paid to work to get rays suspension overturned. Now he did say that this is the worst crisis that hes ever been involved with. He said you can take all the crises together that theyve had with the ravens and it wouldnt be as big as this. He also said as soon as he saw the video inside the elevator they released ray immediately and rice will never play for the ravens again. So will we hear from the coach . I dont know if you will. He has already made his statement. I dont think hell be out again. I dont think steve will be out again but espn came out quickly to say they stand by their story. Okay. All right. Very interesting. Thanks. See you soon. All right. Now meantime, the redskins are dealing with a new player in the teams name debate. You have no right to use our name to get attention. Still ahead, some reaction to south parks commercial that aired during the redskins game. Plus, in a 7 on your side consumer alert how public wifi could get some of your private information at risk. And the new steps paula deen has taken to get her reputation back. And a hitandrun victim is still in surgery tonight but her family has a message for the dirt bike rider who struck her. On abc 7 tonight the family of a d. C. Woman nearly killed by a dirt bike talks about her horrifying ordeal that nearly killed her. Her family tells us she is in the middle of a 12hour surgery to repair her leg. We spoke exclusively with the live s family and roz is with their message to the dirt bike rider still on the loose. She is still in surgery and there is no guarantee that shell be able to walk again. She is just 23 years old. Her family is heart broken but theyre also angry and demanding something be done. A warning some of the language used to describe her injuries is a little bit graphic. From northwest to southeast and everywhere in between, it seems more and more atv and dirt bike riders are illegally taking to d. C. Streets. Last wednesday night on alabama avenue southeast, a dirt bike rider popped a wheelie, ran a red light, and crashed into a 23yearold woman in the crosswalk. Witnesses say he laughed, hopped on another bike, and sped away. Were outraged. Were hurt. She says her niece is on a second round of surgery. Her knee was pretty much nonattached to her body so they had to go in to reconstruct that area so she would be, hopefully be able to walk again. Her family is concerned that with so many bikes out there, this could happen to somebody else. Especially when at night kevin necessary bit says friday night a group converged on the u street corridor. Just back and forth down the street doing wheelies and all kinds of crazy stuff. Police were short on specifics but according to a Community List serve a, quote, scooter Tactical Unit moved in and caught one of them. D. C. s police chief told abc 7 her department is putting more resources into shutting it down. She says the laws need to change so officers can pursue the riders. Their hands are tied. Its like what can they do . And to the person who hit her niece and left her for dead if you did it, just turn yourself in. Police have said they cant do a pursuit or chase policy because of safety to the community. The chief did assure us on friday her officers are using undercover tactics and remote surveillance trying to do a crackdown on this. Live in northwest d. C. , roz plater, abc 7 news. Thank you, roz. Nearly two dozen wildfires are burning out of control across the western u. S. Tonight, most of them in california where one fire alone has scorched 437 square miles of forest and brush. It destroyed three dozen buildings and threatened thousands more. Fire crews made progress over the weekend but hotter temperatures and strong winds are forecast for this week. The picture you saw a second ago was the man charged with setting the fire. He pled not guilty to arson on friday. Meanwhile, here its hard to believe how long the pleasant weather stretch has lasted. Not to be a downer here, but listen, ive done this for a long time. Ive seen over and over again we get to september, october, long stretches of incredibly beautiful weather and sometime in november or december it catches up where we do the exact same thing, week after week of terrible weather. So lets enjoy it while it lasts. All right. We will. Maybe well have a cold or something by the time let somebody else tell you about it. Its fine. Just High Pressure. This is a great time of year. Year after year, september, october, in the area here offers some of the most beautiful weather of the entire year and here is proof pozz. All during the afternoon our time lapse shows beautiful, blue skies. A few fair weather clouds as we look from the roof top camera down the Potomac River looking southward toward Reagan National airport and i think well stay mostly clear through the evening hours. Right now 74. Dew point 43. Dry air. Northwest winds at 18. Still kind of gusty but the winds will diminish and with the dry air in place it is going to be mighty chilly by the morning. Pollen count, everything in the moderate range. At least its not the high range. Thats good news here especially for ragweed sufferers. That has been the past week or two the worst offender. 74 at reagan. 70 degrees winchester. 73 quantico. 72 over in easton on marylands mid shore. Chilly temperature. A Little Pocket of chilly air across the great lakes and parts of ontario and western quebec. Gusty winds coming from that will shift to the east overnight tomorrow and tonight. Tonight will be very chilly. The chilliest night of the week tonight. And the gustiest winds weve seen in a while will diminish as well. The warm air pushed well to the south and the southwest. Only a few hot spots. Mostly in the far western part of the country. High pressure is the dominant feature. The winds as we get through the overnight and day tomorrow will be less wind to deal with. It will be cool but another Beautiful Day tomorrow with High Pressure in control once again and the strongest core of winds will in fact shift off to the east here as we move through the day tomorrow. The High Pressure pretty much filled with sunshine, temperatures Holding Lower 70s tomorrow as we get through the day on wednesday well turn our attention to the south because computer models make a pretty good case that an area of low pressure will be developing off the coast. The key here is whether the moisture from this is going to push back to the northwest toward our area or stay just offshore. Both are possible. Weve included a 30 chance of some light showers Late Wednesday night and thursday in the forecast. But i think that would be especially south and east and southeast of the metro area. If it stays far enough offshore then the whole area stays dry. In any case i think by friday were back to sunshine and very pleasant conditions. Chilly overnight. 10 29 tonight is the moment of the autumnal equinox. 45 to 52 degrees tomorrow morning. Beautiful tomorrow. Not as windy for the first day of fall. 70 to 75 with sunshine. Then you see nice weather continue wednesday with the late night shower chance of a 30 chance of showers on thursday, clearing on friday, and right now the weekend if you can deal with this, if this works out, how about mostly sunny skies with temperatures around 80 on saturday and sunday . Wow. Can y
