B8 WEATHER Washington area today
The Capital Weather Gang’s forecast Clouds, showers and winds from the
north and northeast will combine to make for one of the cooler days all summer. With all of the clouds, highs will probably rise only into the low and mid-70s. If Reagan National Airport misses the 80-degree mark, it will be the first time since June 9.

Ex-lawyer gets 5 years for bilking his clients
lawyer from B1
in 1998 from polycystic kidney disease. “When his anchor died, he lost all stability,” Heeney wrote in a memo to the judge. Schwartz also had arthritis in his spine, sleep apnea, lympho- ma and trigeminal neuralgia, which causes intense, shooting pain to the left side of his face. At some point, Schwartz began dipping into a client escrow ac- count. In many cases, money due one client was used to pay an- other. By late 2008, the scheme had been going on for years. On Dec.3, 2008, Schwartz re- ceived an e-mail from a man who identified himself as Patrick Chan of Maltida Manufacturing, a purported Singapore manufac- turer. Chan proposed that Schwartz help the company col- lect debts in the United States and offered to send Schwartz a retainer. Schwartz was sent a cashier’s check for $385,000 and deposited it. The scam was also perpetrated
on other lawyers in the country. The man named Chan intend-
ed to get Schwartz to send part of the money back before Schwartz realized the $385,000 was phony. Schwartz, though, started writing checks off the new funds to clients, hoping to cover his losses. Those checks soon bounced, M&T Bank started looking into it and authorities were called, according to court records.
Over the past 11⁄2 years,
Schwartz cooperated with inves- tigators, wrote letters of apology to clients and helped tell them how to get reimbursed by the Cli- ent Protection Fund of the Bar of Maryland. He wrote a confes- sional letter to the Maryland At- torney Grievance Commission. “I always thought that I even- tually would be able to pay it back,” Schwartz told the judge Monday. “But the grave became deeper and deeper. I just could not climb out of it.”

Purple Heart recipient is laid to rest
Petition on ambulance fees fails to make ballot
CHIP SOMODEVILLA/GETTY IMAGES petition from B1
Kevin B. Karpinski, and he has to sign petitions that way. The new rubric by which sig-
natures are judged comes from a ruling in Jane Doe v. Montgom- ery County Board of Elections and was an effort to foil fraud. But Robin Ficker, an activist who claims to have shepherded more than 20 petitions in Mont- gomery since the 1970s, said the guidelines thwart direct democ- racy instead of protecting it. The guidelines are “perpetrat-
ing a fraud on the well-meaning voters of Maryland,” said Ficker, who is leading a petition effort in support of term limits for Mont- gomery politicians as he runs as a Republican for the County Council. The problem is, he said, people
don’t remember how they signed voter registration cards they filled out years before.
The petition guidelines are “perpetrating a fraud on the well-meaning voters of
Maryland.” — Robin Ficker, activist running for County Council
Ficker signed the petition for the ambulance fee initiative, and his was one of those disqualified. He signed the petition as Robin Ficker. He signed his name as Robin Keith Annesley Ficker when he filled out his voter regis- tration card in 1964.
