District of Delaware | Wilmington Daycare Owner Federally Indicted On Financial Charges
Press Release
WILMINGTON, Del. – A federal grand jury returned an indictment on January 26, 2021, charging the owner and operator of a Wilmington daycare center with one count of wire fraud, one count of theft of government money, and three counts of tax evasion.
According to the indictment, Brenda Mathis, 56, inflated attendance records for her daycare center, L.J.’s Playpen Academy, Inc., to increase subsidies and payments she received from two federally-funded programs: Purchase of Care and Delaware Stars for Early Success. The Purchase of Care Program helps eligible, low-income families pay for childcare by providing subsidies to a daycare provider of the families’ choice. The Delaware Stars for Early Success Program disperses payments to daycare providers based on the quality of service.
According to the indictment, Ms. Mathis also under-reported the income from the daycare center, including the income received from these programs, on corporate tax returns for tax years 2015 through 2017.
Ms. Mathis is charged with one count of Wire Fraud, one count of Theft of Government Money, and three Counts of Tax Evasion. If convicted on the Wire Fraud count, Ms. Mathis faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. If convicted on the Theft of Government Money count, Ms. Mathis faces a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The Tax Evasion counts each carry a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. A federal district court judge will determine any sentence after taking into account the U.S. sentencing guidelines and other statutory factors.
David C. Weiss, U.S. Attorney for the District of Delaware, made the announcement and gave the following comment, “The defendant is charged with defrauding and stealing from federally-funded programs designed to ensure that families in Delaware receive affordable and high quality care for their children.
She further increased her ill-gotten gains by failing to pay taxes on the stolen money. My office is committed to prosecuting those who illegally collect government funds for their own benefit, especially when those funds are stolen from programs meant to help Delaware’s children.”
“Tax violations have been erroneously referred to as victimless crimes, but it’s the honest law-abiding citizen who is harmed when people try to shirk their tax liability,” said IRS Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Thomas Fattorusso. “Today, Brenda Mathis stands accused of doing just that; attempting to evade her tax liabilities. Those Americans who file accurate tax returns and pay their fair share can be assured that the government will hold accountable those who don’t.”
“The Department of Health and Human Services provides federal funding for daycare services to help children and their families,” said HHS-OIG Special Agent in Charge Maureen Dixon. “HHS-OIG will continue to work with our law enforcement partners to ensure the integrity of these important federal grant programs.
”
USDA Office of Inspector General, Special Agent-in-Charge Bethanne M. Dinkins stated, “Those who are involved in fraud and abuse of USDA feeding programs will be investigated by our office to the fullest extent. Our joint investigation with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, OIG, IRS Criminal Investigation, and FBI identified those who sought to profit through illegal schemes. The USDA Office of Inspector General will continue to dedicate investigative resources, working with our law enforcement and prosecutorial partners, to protect the integrity of these programs and bring to justice those who commit fraud.”
“When people steal from programs like these, social service programs suffer across the state of Delaware and tax payers’ funds are illegally diverted to those seeking to enrich themselves personally,” said Jennifer C. Boone, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Baltimore Field Office. “The FBI is grateful for the cooperation and hard work of the many agencies in this case and we will continue to work together to aggressively target fraud in public programs.
”
This case was investigated by IRS Criminal Investigation, U.S. Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General, U.S. Department of Agriculture Office of the Inspector General and the FBI. This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Lesley F. Wolf and Ruth E. Mandelbaum.

An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed to be innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.

Exertsirgauz, or simply Manege – Architectural style — LiveJournal
Moscow Manege (Manege Central Exhibition Hall) is a historic building located at 1 Manezhnaya Square, between Manezhnaya and Sapozhkova Squares, Aleksandrovsky Garden and Mokhovaya Street.
The main exhibition area of the state institution of culture of the city of Moscow “Museum and Exhibition Association” Manege “”.
Reluctant construction site.
An area where firewood, hay and moss were traded. For which the street was named Mokhovaya. The fire of 1812 that blazed in Moscow destroyed merchant shops. On the site of the conflagration, Alexander I ordered the construction of an Exertsirgauz for two thousand soldiers – an entire infantry regiment was to fit in the House of Military Exercises. The fifth anniversary of the victory in the Patriotic War was being prepared to be celebrated with a review of the troops. To receive the parade of the combined guards detachment of heroes, a building was built in the center of Moscow.

Engineer and architect Bettencourt.
Not just an architect, but a mechanical engineer and organizer of the transport system of the Russian Empire, Augustine de Betancourt, took up the development of the project. Russified Spaniard – the author of the famous fountain “Girl with a Jug”, in Tsarskoe Selo. Betancourt founded the Institute of Railway Engineers, supervised the construction of the Nizhny Novgorod Fair, designed a capstan – a device for lifting weights, which was used in the construction of St. Isaac’s Cathedral. According to the project of Betancourt, the Manege was built.
Without a single column.
Maneuvering without interference is the main task assigned to the architect. Under the roof, a space of 6,500 square meters was to be located. The project turned out to be unprecedented: the width of the building is 45 meters – without internal supports! 30 wooden trusses rested only on the outer walls.
Larch was chosen for construction – one of the most durable materials. The project was approved at the beginning of the summer of 1817, and the completion of construction was expected in the middle of autumn, by October 1. And the builders were on time.
Suspended ceiling.
Know-how was used in the construction of the Manege – for the first time in Russia. The wooden beams of the ceiling were connected by a complex system, which was regulated by nuts. The military team looked after the miracle of engineering. Specialists monitored the serviceability of the rafters. The construction has survived to this day, although cracks appeared almost immediately after construction, which in 1819 required the reconstruction of the roof. A few years later, the number of rafters was increased to 45, and the architect Osip Bove, who was a member of the commission, added several details to the structure

Reconstruction.
The building in the style of classicism was decorated with stucco by the author of the project of the Bolshoi Theater and the Arc de Triomphe. Now the facades sang of the military power of Russia. The attributes of the Roman legionnaires were made according to the sketches of Beauvais. The twelve cast-iron high reliefs “Military Armor”, which were supposed to be placed in the piers, did not come to fruition. In 1838, a rotunda with a throne was added to the Manezh
Classic in the Manege.
“Moscow”.
This was the name of the club of cyclists or cyclists, which in 1899 organized a carnival in the Manege. Here, everyone was taught a newfangled hobby – cycling. Among the students was the writer Leo Tolstoy. The classic mastered the art of driving a two-wheeled vehicle already at an advanced age – at 67 years old. “During this time, I began to learn to ride a bicycle in the arena. It is very strange why I am drawn to do this, ”Leo Nikolayevich wrote in his diary, enthusiastically continuing to master the vehicle.

Shag in the attic.
To save wooden floors from pests and dampness, so that the building would stand for centuries, shag in the attic was called upon. Back in the days of Osip Bove, the attic was half a meter covered with dry tobacco leaves – rodents and insects do not favor this smell, and the shag absorbs excess moisture, protecting the beams from dampness. According to legend, shag was smoked either during the revolution, or during the Great Patriotic War – and under the roof of the Manege there was a tart smell for a long time. And then the attic was covered with sawdust.
Cultural area.
The Manege did not last long as a place for military reviews and even as a stable. Since 1831, huge areas have been adapted for exhibitions. The first exhibition of ethnography of the peoples of Russia was held within these walls. Well-known ethnographers, sculptors and artists worked on the exposition. The program was personally approved by Alexander II. Today, legendary exhibits can be seen in the Ethnographic Museum of St.
Petersburg. The Manege also hosted: the first international exhibition of automobiles and bicycles, agricultural and industrial exhibitions. In 1867, the French composer Hector Berlioz conducted an orchestra of 500 musicians in the building on Mokhovaya.
“Our people do not need this!”
The famous phrase of Nikita Khrushchev sounded in the Manege after the exhibition “30 Years of Moscow Union of Artists”, where avant-garde artists from the studio “New Reality” presented their works. The result of the cultural campaign of the first person of the state was a devastating article in the newspaper Pravda. And the subsequent campaign: against formalism and abstractionism in the USSR. Half a century later – “The same in the Manege.” The exposition consisted of the same paintings and slides of the missing works, showcases with photographs and biographies of the participants. For example, Leonid Rabichev became the author of the emblem of the Kremlin Museums, and Vera Preobrazhenskaya illustrated many Soviet textbooks on the natural sciences.

Damage and fire.
A decade after the revolution, the ceiling of the Manezh became almost a meter lower: the beams sagged. The building opened a garage for government cars. The metal sheets and columns that were used to strengthen the structure violated the single space of the unique structure. At 19In 41, the building was almost destroyed by a high-explosive bomb, and in 2004 by a fire. The arena blazed with a 50-meter flame. Only the walls remained. It took a year to reconstruct the architectural monument. The “Farms of Betancourt” were recreated, the area of the building almost doubled. The Manege has retained its main purpose – one of the main cultural venues of the capital.

Reports from the arena – Joy and sublimation – LiveJournal
It is a good tradition to spend the winter in the arena.
And no, it’s not because I don’t like winter. In Prague, the weather is perfect for running. It’s wrong to complain. It’s just traditionally in these three months – December / January / February for most runners the off-season and the so-called “special work”.
The arena allows you not only to effectively work on speed and increase speed endurance, but also on technique, practicing SBU and a little stretching, and even strength training.
This year I took a little walk for the holidays. Rested, so rested.
It is understood that rest is needed. And I keep repeating it. But how sad after a break to return to intense running. For two weeks, the level of fitness falls normally like this.
But, surprisingly well, suddenly a slow run began to enter. If at the end of the year, when I was carried somewhere and wanted to compete, I just didn’t want to run slowly, then after a good rest, peace finally came to me) I can run 6 min / km and I’m fine!
After a short run of 100 km, I finally returned to the arena.
All the same, it would be impossible for me to immediately go to the arena, you can immediately get an injury.
It’s good in the arena, but how hard it is!
Last year, I regularly wrote all my workouts. Now it is very convenient to compare, as we repeat the training cycle.
General impression – I began to feel my speed better, became generally more confident on the track. If there is a task to run, say, 23sec / 100m, then I just take it and run. And a year ago, when setting the pace, I had the thought “well, I don’t know if it will work out, I’ll start, and then we’ll see.”
