Residents debate FBI sites Greenbelt, Landover among three locations GSA is considering for relocation

BY JAMIE

A 62-acre site in Greenbelt is one of three vying to become the new FBI headquarters, but some residents think Greenbelt may not be the best site. “For the reasons they argue it could beneﬁt Greenbelt, I think it could benefit Landover, because that’s in the central part of the county, and I think that part of the county needs more facilities,” said Robert Snyder of Greenbelt. “In this area, we already have the USDA facility. Go up further you’ve got the Patuxent Wildlife Refuge, we’ve got Goddard NASA. To our west, we’ve got the University of Maryland, the National Archives, the Federal courthouse. We have a lot of state and federal facilities in this part of the county.” The U.S. General Services Administration, or GSA, the federal agency responsible for managing government

Residents: S Policing needed for safer plaza

tepbrothers Bucky Friend and Gary Horton still remember the clunky 1956 Chevrolet they took apart and put back together one summer in the late 1960s, not long after Friend’s father married Horton’s mother. For the classic car enthusiasts, who now share a business space in downtown Laurel, the collaboration was characteristic of an easy friendship that began in middle school and continues to this day, even as they prepare their competing entries for Laurel’s 19th annual Riverfest this Sunday. But for Friend and Horton, who grew up together in Beltsville and are such good friends they some-

Park and Planning rolls out plan to slow trafﬁc on East-West, increase pedestrian access n

A new plan for Prince George’s Plaza Metro station area in Hyattsville includes tree-lined sidewalks, bicycle lanes and more trafﬁc signals, all efforts aimed at making the area more pedestrian-friendly, but some residents say improving crosswalks won’t matter if efforts aren’t made to improve personal safety. “Everyone I know says they don’t go to these areas because they’re concerned about personal security,” said Sarah Moseley of Hyattsville. Moseley was one of approximately 60 area residents who attended a series of community meetings in Hyattsville from Sept. 17 to Sept. 20 to solicit public input and get feedback on its new transit district development plan for the area around the Prince George’s “Having the second Metro exit would create greater access to the mall, as well as a ground ﬂoor for restaurants

But Horton — who is taking his 1971 Formula Firebird to the car show — said he drives the car around locally, and sometimes even as far away as Pennsylvania. “That’s what I built it for — to enjoy,” Horton said. Horton said he paid only $100 for the car, but over the last 30 years he’s poured at least $80,000 into it. “I’ve put three motors in. God knows how many transmissions. I’ve painted it two and a half times,” Horton said. He said the one-of-a-kind burgundy car

FedEx Field provides $10M per year in tax revenue

ANFENSON-COMEAU STAFF WRITER

If the Washington Redskins football team leaves Prince George’s, county experts predict millions of dollars could follow them out of the county. Since 1997, the Washington NFL team has called FedEx Field in Landover home, but team owner Dan Snyder said in a Sept. 1 media interview that he is looking for a new home for the team. In the interview posted on Comcast SportsNet Washington’s website, Snyder said he is considering sites in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia. “We love FedEx Field. It’s a great place to feature our home games, but it’s 17 years old now,” Snyder said in the interview. “I think it’s time for us to start looking, and I’m doing it.”

times ﬁnish one another’s sentences, rebuilding cars has always been more about camaraderie than competition. “I work on his house; he works on my car,” said Horton, 59, of Laurel, who owns a rooﬁng business just off of Laurel’s Main Street, in the same building as Friend’s auto repair shop. “It’s a passion,” said Friend, 60, of Sykesville. “Blood sweat and tears goes into a car.” Friend said the blue 1984 Monte Carlo he is entering in the “Cruising the Riverfest” car show cost him $300 when he bought it in the late ’90s, but added he has spent at least $30,000 on the car since then, replacing its transmission, repainting it and replacing the motor three times.

“It’s a great place to feature our home games, but it’s 17 years old now, I think it’s time for us to start looking, and I’m doing it.” Redskins owner Dan Snyder in ComcastSportsNet interview Scott Peterson, spokesman for County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D), said the county receives $10 million in direct revenue from the stadium each year. The overall economic impact of the stadium on the county hasn’t been calculated, but is

estimated to be several million each year, Peterson said. Peterson said the team does not ﬁgure into the county’s efforts to relocate the FBI headquarters to Prince George’s County or to build a new regional medical center in Largo. Peterson said team management has not been in discussion with the county about leaving, and noted the team’s lease on FedEx Field doesn’t expire until 2027. Once the lease expires, the team will continue to own the stadium as well as the land, Peterson said. “We look forward to working with the team,” Peterson said in a statement. “They still have 13 years left on their lease with Prince George’s County, therefore we expect to have discussions with them regarding their decisions as they move forward.” M.H. “Jim” Estepp, president and CEO of the Greater Prince George’s Business Roundtable, said he is hopeful the team can be convinced to stay

Hyattsville Police Ofﬁcer Chris Evans reels in the donation bucket Saturday during the Hyattsville Police Department’s “Cops on Rooftops” fundraiser for Maryland Special Olympics.

Hyattsville police hit rooftops for Special Olympics The Hyattsville Police Department took to the rooftops over the weekend, as part of its “Cops on Rooftops” fundraiser for the Maryland Special Olympics. Police camped out on the rooftop of Dunkin’ Donuts in Hyattsville, collecting donations for Special Olympics in a

bucket lowered to street level by a ﬁshing pole. Hyattsville Police Chief Douglas Holland said the event raised approximately $7,300 for Maryland Special Olympics. Hyattsville first participated in the event in 2011 and were joined by police ofﬁcers from Mount Rainier, Riverdale Park,

Bladensburg and Prince George’s County. Nearly 30 ofﬁcers took part in the initial event, which raised $5,381 thanks to the contribution of about 2,000 people, Holland said. — JAMIE ANFENSON-COMEAU

Port Towns Day to highlight healthy living Community members are invited to the 18th Annual Port Towns Day, celebrating “healthy people, healthy communities,” on Saturday at Bladensburg Waterfront Park, ofﬁcials said. The festival, organized by the towns of Bladensburg, Colmar Manor, Cottage City and Edmonston, will feature boat trips down the Anacostia River, arts and crafts and dancing, organizers said.

There will be performances by Caribbean, jazz, country and rhythm-and-blues musicians while children’s activities will include moon bounces, a Ferris wheel and face painting. “It’s a good way to look for an event that includes all of the cultures of our community,” said Bladensburg Town Administrator John Moss. “It showcases our community.”

Moss said booths and vendors at the event will highlight healthy lifestyle practices, including how to prepare healthy food and how to exercise. Port Towns Day will take place from noon to 7 p.m. Bladensburg Waterfront Park is located at 4601 Annapolis Road. — ALICE POPOVICI

For 17 years, two Prince George’s songbirds have dedicated some of their spare time to offering some heavenly voices to those they say need encouraging. “It’s been a long time singing together, and we’re still singing,” said Winston Charles, who along with his wife, Bernadette, has been taking part in their church’s prison ministry, performing gospel music for inmates in Jessup, Cumberland and Washington, D.C. Bernadette Charles said she and her husband want to bring a little joy to the lives of those who may not have much to be hopeful about. “It makes us feel we are doing something worthwhile for the community, and for people who are locked up,” Bernadette Charles said. “They can’t come to church, so we are reaching them where they are.” The couple became involved in prison ministry through their church in 1997, and decided it was a good way to put their gifts to good use, singing classical and contemporary gospel music, Bernadette Charles said. The couple was honored by the Seventh-day Adventist Allegany East Conference Prison Ministries Federation for their 17 years of prison ministry at an Sept. 14 awards ceremony. Gloria Smith, vice president of the Prison Ministries Federation, said she has seen attendance at prison ministries increase dramatically due to the Charles’ performances. “A lot of the inmates are there for various reasons, but hearing the Charles’ sing lifts their spirits, moves them and at least for a time, lifts their eyes towards Jesus,” Smith said.

ville, a retired musician and media specialist, said he’s known Winston and Bernadette Charles for over 15 years, and has always been impressed by their quality of singing. “Bernadette, her voice is just fabulous, absolutely superb. She’s able to hit those really, really high notes, and Winston, he is just fantastic,” Twyman said. Bernadette and Winston Charles hail from Trinidad and Tobago, and met in New York while singing. The couple lived for several years in Hyattsville, where they studied music at the Ottley Music Studio in Hyattsville before moving to Upper Marlboro in 2007. “We will go out and do the singing, and others will do the sermon portion,” Bernadette Charles said. “The inmates know us as ‘The Singing Couple.’ They love it. When we come they are standing, stamping their feet. It’s really a blessing for them.” Winston Charles said the couple continues to perform to bring joy to others. “The benefits is not physical, not tangible,” said Winston Charles. “It’s more spiritual. It’s a feeling, good feeling that you are going out and doing what you’re supposed to be doing as a missionary, because we are missionaries.” janfenson-comeau@ gazette.net

Laurel middle school seeks global recognition Eisenhower is a candidate for International Baccalaureate program n

ALICE POPOVICI STAFF WRITER

Students at Dwight D. Eisenhower Middle School in Laurel will be learning more about the world around them — and doing so with better resources, ofﬁcials say — once the school receives its anticipated authorization as an IB World School in the summer of 2016. Authorization is granted by International Baccalaureate, a worldwide educational organization. Students will gain an academic edge once Eisenhower receives the International Baccalaureate, or IB, Middle Years Programme designation for which it applied in April, said Steve Mellen, coordinator for the school’s IB program. He said the more rigorous curriculum stresses deeper analysis as well as making connections across subject areas. To receive this designation, the school has to complete a number of steps, including training teachers, redesigning student schedules around new course requirements and completing student assessments, Mellen said. “It’s just about an education that’s internationallyminded,” Mellen said. “As opposed to simply studying issues that are local, we look

Dwight Eisenhower Middle School teachers (front, from left) Leta Mendoza, Rachel Man and Carol Acha work on a project Sept. 15 to illustrate the best qualities of students and teachers during a training session at the school in Laurel. at them around the world ... so that students start to think of themselves as members of a global community.” For example, a local environmental issue such as the recent “boil water advisory” in the county would become “a great teachable moment” and a springboard for discussions about water scarcity around the world, Mellen said. Eisenhower would become the second middle school in Prince George’s County to offer the internationally-focused curriculum, said Parfait Awono,

IB district coordinator for the county. The other school is James Madison Middle School in Upper Marlboro. Additionally, six high schools in the county currently offer the IB academic curriculum, which is taught at more than 1,500 schools across the country and about 3,900 schools worldwide, Awono said. Mellen said one of the ﬁrst steps in the authorization process is training teachers to deliver the content, and classes at Eisenhower are now underway.

On Sept. 15, he led a series of interactive classes in which he asked the teachers to come up with — and draw — a proﬁle of the ideal student who is compassionate, open-minded and globally-focused, or of the ideal teacher who could foster these qualities in students. “The IB learner profile doesn’t just apply to the kids, it applies to the educator as well,” said Jessica Rohaly, a reading, English and language arts teacher who is content leader for the school’s IB program. “It helps you be a little more intro-

spective about your talents and strengths.” School principal Dwight Jefferson said the more rigorous academic curriculum will help prepare students for the IB curriculum at Laurel High School, which has been an IB World School since 1989. “We want the students to learn and appreciate the differences that others bring to the table,” Jefferson said. “Being deeper thinkers — that’s really the key.” apopovici@gazette.net

A Beltsville art teacher is hoping to draw out discussion about race community through a series of meetings combining art with open conversation. Nehemiah Dixon III of Beltsville, program director for the nonprofit Mount Rainier studio Art Works Now, said the ongoing “Creative Community Action” events were inspired by the Aug. 9 shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, an African American, by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., and the unrest that followed. “I just got bombarded with all these images from Ferguson so quickly, and I just couldn’t process it,” Dixon said. “So, as a visual artist, when I’m frustrated with life, I create, and so I wanted to share that outlet with the community.” The creative community action events incorporate visual art in a discussion about race, class, authority and other issues in the community and the wider world, Dixon said. The group met Friday to continue a discussion of feelings engendered by the Ferguson incident, which began last month. Dixon said it’s important to continue that conversation, even after the media hype has died down. “I wanted to create a space where we can keep coming back to issues that concern us,” Dixon said. “I’m hoping that this develops into a meeting where people can discuss issues surrounding injustice, inequality, things going on in our community.” Michelle Darden Lee of Mount Rainier, one of the attendees, said she felt part of the problem in Ferguson was due to a lack of connection between police and residents. “Either the police are not part of the community, or they’re a part in only a datadriven way,” Lee said. “When that happens, it becomes not, ‘I’m here to protect you’, but ‘I’m here to control or manage you.’” Her husband Anthony Lee, said that conversations about race is needed to help get to the root of problems. Anthony Lee said he often finds himself going out of his way to not make people uncomfortable. “When I see a white woman on the sidewalk ahead of me, I might cross the street, because I don’t want to make her uncomfortable,” Lee said. “If I’m in an elevator, and I see a woman clutching her purse, I’ll step to the far side of the elevator.” Barbara Johnson, executive director of Art Works Now, said she hopes that chalk outlines created by participants in the “hands up, don’t shoot” gesture used by protesters in Ferguson, can be displayed in a public forum to further expand the conversation. “People would be able to paint on them, comment on them, add to them, whatever,” Johnson said. janfenson-comeau@ gazette.net

County brothers near second decade of antique rivalry n

Siblings run businesses on shared street

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

Blood may be thicker than water, but in the quiet antique district of Old Town Bowie, it’s no match for the tough skin formed from years of negotiating over vintage furniture, costume jewelry and collectable glassware. Brothers Mike Keller, 58, of Lanham and Christopher Keller, 56, of Adelphi own competing antique stores on 9th Street in Bowie and have run them simultaneously for nearly 20 years. “One brother is on one side of the bridge and the other brother is on the other side,” said Teri Russell, who owns Simple Pleasures Ice Cafe on 9th Street and organizes the Old Town Bowie annual fall festival. “Everybody that’s in business [on this street], they’re all family. I don’t know why they have separate businesses.” The Keller siblings grew up patronizing yard sales and collecting antiques with their late mother Lorraine Keller and developed a knack for spotting valuable collector’s items, said Christopher Keller. But despite the fact that their businesses are separated only by the 9th Street Bridge,

the brothers have never gone into business together and never plan to, he said. “It’s basically competitive in this business…very competitive,” he said. “We probably would be [stronger together], but at this stage, we’re still separate. We both collect the same thing, and we’re both very competitive, and it’s difﬁcult to be in business with somebody like that.” Mike Keller said it’s the nature of the antique business that caused the two brothers to take separate paths. “It’s hard for people to understand if you’re not an antique dealer. The longer you’ve been in this business, the more you tend to search for the higher end things. We’ve had a few problems going to sales with things like that,” he said. “I haven’t talked to him in 10 years so that says it right there.” There are at least half a dozen antique stores and vendors on 9th street, but instead of driving each other out, Christopher Keller said the close proximity of competitors helps the local business community. “A lot of people don’t understand that, but I wouldn’t mind if an antique store opened [across the street],” he said. “Competition makes people successful.” On this topic, the two brothers agree. “People are more willing to come distances to see more

antiques. They’re not going to drive 35 miles for one shop,” Mike Keller said. “And they like the selection. The bottom line is people like selection.” Each antique store on the street has developed its own specialty and marketing pitch, Christopher Keller said. The younger Keller’s two-story, 7,000 square foot store is known as one of the largest in the area and he says the variety and quality of the items sets his shop apart. “I try to cater to everybody,” he said. “I try to buy the higher end stuff. I spend a little bit more for it, and I have a good following a good clientele. They know they’re going to come here and find something in good shape.” Ted and Elaine Haessler of Temecula, Ca. were shopping at Christopher’s Antiques on Friday and said they heard about the store from a shop owner in Havre De Grace, Ted Haessler said. “She described it as 7,000 square feet and all owned by the same guy, and she thought if we were going to just hit one, that would be the one,” he said. “We’re on our way to a family wedding in Virginia and we like to hunt for antiques when we’re

on the road, and that’s what we did. We’re just poking around.” Down the road at Keller’s Antiques, Sherry Linkins of Bowie was planning to sell some items to Mike Keller on Sept. 19. Linkins said she is a regular patron of Keller’s Antiques and afﬁrmed what the elder Keller said was the greatest strength of his shop: customer service. “I love this store. I’ve bought many things from him over the years,” she said. “Mr. Keller’s customer service is outstanding.” Mike Keller’s son – Steven Keller, 31, of Lanham – said he has been helping his father with the antique shop since he was 8-years-old. While antiques have always been part of his life, the bank employee said he doesn’t share his father’s passion for reading about and researching the antique industry. Steven Keller said he doesn’t quite understand the rivalry between his father and uncle. “I’m put in the middle because I talk to both of them, but I try to stay out of it,” he said. “It’s a very competitive business.”

As he walked around the newly-renovated City of Laurel council chambers Monday evening, Bob Mignon of Laurel said the video screens and other technology in the new space will help keep residents better informed. “I think it’s a great upgrade of what it was before,” said Mignon, who owns Minuteman Press on Main Street and attended a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new chambers along with about 100 residents and city employees. “With the new technology, it’s going to allow the city government to communicate better with the residents of the community.” Mayor Craig Moe said the renovation, which took about two months and cost about $840,000, includes new technology such as four screen displays. He said the LED lighting in the room will cut back on energy costs. “We think the ﬂow is a little bit better,” Moe said. “We really needed to open up more to technology.” Jean Dean of Laurel said she liked the richness of the beige walls and the taupe carpeting. “I think it’s just great. It’s a great design,” Dean said. “You can’t go wrong by having chocolate,” she added, referring to the brown panels on

the walls of the council chambers. Michael McLaughlin of Laurel, who attended the ribbon cutting with his wife, Jackie, said he was excited about the screens he said will make it easier for audience members to see agenda items, and the large drop-down screen for presentations. And he said there is potential for even more technological innovation in the future. “It would be even ideal if it could be two-way — people with iPhones and iPads could participate,” McLaughlin said, imagining future possibilities. “Instead of making the people come to the meeting, make the meeting come to the people.” “I think it’s very, very well done,” said Jackie McLaughlin. “It’s very elegant.” City officials estimated that around 100 people attended the ribbon cutting. apopovici@gazette.net

Nicholas Orem advances to Science Bowl semiﬁnal round for ﬁrst time Hyattsville team credits intense studying, collaborating for victories n

KIRSTEN PETERSEN STAFF WRITER

If Michael Blackwell’s father hadn’t had a hip replacement, his middle school’s team might not be moving on to the 29th annual Science Bowl semifinals. Michael, an eighth-grader at Nicholas Orem Middle School in Hyattsville, said he knew the answer to a multiple choice question about a femoral prosthesis because of his father’s surgery. “My dad had a hip replacement. That’s the only way I could actually get that,” Michael said. The 25-point question — the highest value in the Jeopardy!-style quiz show for Prince George’s County elementary and middle schools — ended a four-question streak during which neither Nicholas Orem nor the team from Thomas G. Pullen Creative Arts Academy in Landover could offer a correct answer. Blackwell’s response put Nicholas Orem in the lead and propelled them to a spot in the March 17 semifinal. The final score, 185-170, was low for a quarterfinal match, said Roy Manning, the sponsor of the Thomas G. Pullen team. The Nicholas Orem team sponsors, science teachers Kristina Rankine and Caitlann O’Dell, said this is the first time Nicholas Orem has had the chance to compete in the semifinals. “Their dedication is definitely what pushed this team to the semifinals,” O’Dell said, noting that team members studied during lunch the week leading up to the match. Nicholas Orem Middle School’s team included eighthgrade captain David Sanchez and eighth-graders Stan Amouzou, Michael Blackwell, and

Paul Oriala. David and Paul previously competed in the Science Bowl as sixth-graders, they said. To prepare for the semifinals, Paul said the team needs to study and focus on speed. “We also need to be faster,” Paul said. “[Thomas G. Pullen’s team] was pretty fast, but some of them knew the answers before the question was asked.” Pullen’s team included eighth-grade captain Deborah Omotoso, eighth-graders Makiyah Holder and Erica Morrissey and seventh-graders Brittany Linus and John Patrick Abergos. Deborah was a member of the Pullen team that advanced to semifinals last year. “She was trained thoroughly from last year and knew all the questions from training,” Manning said. “We’re thankful to have Deborah. She’s been around the best.” The quarterfinal match concluded a three-game series that kicked off the quiz show’s 29th year. David Zahren, the show’s host and producer, said even though the teams only had a few weeks to prepare, they came ready to compete. “Each year the kids are savvier about the kinds of questions we ask,” Zahren said.

Nicholas Orem’s previous match against Accokeek Academy was close until the end of the second round. The final game score was 235-170. Accokeek Academy’s team included seventh-grade captain Matthew Makila, eighth-grader David King and seventh-graders Jacqueline Dianis and Marisa Miles. “If we answered some of the questions in the middle when it was getting close, then it would be been easier for us,” Jacqueline said. Pullen won its opening round match against Stephen Decatur Middle School in Clinton by more than 100 points. Stephen Decatur’s team eighth-grade captain Haley Spurrier said collaborating with her teammates, which included Ajiel Curameng, Timara Fortt and Kya McCall, helped them gain a brief lead during the second half. “It was nice to be able to work together because it didn’t feel like the pressure was all on one person,” Haley said. kpetersen@gazette.net

FRAUD

Continued from Page A-1 Schools’ CFO Colby R. White and his wife, Keisha White, “knowingly violated” Maryland Insurance Law, and ﬁned the Bowie couple $6,000. According to the Maryland Insurance Administration, on April 5, 2013, Colby White reported to Hartford, Conn.based Travelers Indemnity Insurance that his wife lost her diamond engagement and wedding ring set, and ﬁled a claim. Travelers paid the Whites $16,313 for the loss of the ring.

ual and I hope that he would continue to call Prince George’s County home for the Washington team,” Estepp said. For Tempe, Arizona, the economic impact of the loss of the Arizona Cardinals to Glendale in 2006 has been slight,

said Mary Ann Miller, president of the Tempe Chamber of Commerce. “We’ve been blessed in that we still have a team playing in our stadium,” said Miller, referring to the Arizona State University Sun Devils, a Paciﬁc

12 Conference team. “The ancillary development around the [Glendale] stadium is really only kicking off now, so people will come in and stay here, visit our businesses, and then go to Glendale to the stadium.” But Miller said the biggest

loss isn’t ﬁnancial. “Anytime they play at home, the announcers say, ‘The University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale.’ How do you put a price on that kind of national recognition, of getting your name out again and again

and again?” Miller said. “I think that’s one of the biggest longterm effects. You just can’t put a price on that kind of publicity.”

Then, on Sept. 25, 2013, Colby White ﬁled a claim with Erie (Penn.) Insurance Exchange for the same set of rings, claiming they were lost on or around Aug. 24, 2013, according to the Maryland Insurance Administration. According to the report, White initially denied that a prior claim had been filed, but when confronted with evidence, admitted to receiving compensation for the prior claim. Following the admission, the Whites withdrew the Erie claim. No working phone number for Colby or Keisha White could be identiﬁed by deadline.

According to the MIA filing, the couple was found to have violated Maryland insurance law relating to filing multiple claims and knowingly submitting inaccurate information. “This is very disturbing,” said Joan Ogburn-Hyson, president of the Prince George’s County PTA Council. “Our county underwent an audit last year that revealed muchneeded changes and we were beginning to see those changes implemented.” A joint statement issued by school system CEO Kevin Maxwell and school board chair Segun Eubanks said that the school system first learned of

the MIA ruling Sept. 19, and that the couple resigned effective Sept. 22, the next business day. “In an abundance of caution, we will ask our external independent auditors to confirm there are no improprieties,” Eubanks and Maxwell said in the statement. School system spokesman Max Pugh said the school system’s external auditor is Minneapolis, Minn.-based CliftonLarsonAnderson, a national company with an office in Calverton. Pugh said White’s duties will be temporarily assumed by Chief Operating Officer Monica

Goldson. Christian Rhodes, education advisor for County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D), said Baker has full faith in the school system’s handling of the situation. “Mr. Baker has spoken with Dr. Maxwell and is heartened by the school system taking the additional step of bringing in an external auditor,” Rhodes said. “We look forward to seeing the results of the external auditor’s report.” Colby White, who earned a $169,008 yearly salary, was named Chief Financial Ofﬁcer in July following the departure of Thomas Sheeran, who had served in an acting capacity since 2012. His appointment was one of many upper echelon appointments school system CEO Kevin Maxwell made during his ﬁrst year. Prior to his appointment, White worked as the school system’s budget director while

Keisha White, worked for the school system as an internal auditor. “In some ways that’s worse,” said David Cahn of Upper Marlboro, co-founder of the education watchdog group Citizens for an Elected Board. “She’s responsible for the integrity of the school system, and someone whose integrity has been called into question in a situation such as this, is not someone you want in that position.” Ogburn-Hyson said she feels the revelation and resulting resignation do not reﬂect on the administration. “I believe this is a minor setback and that our school system will continue to move in the right direction as Dr. Maxwell works through implementing his entry plan,” Ogburn-Hyson said.

But they added they believe the days of their hobby are numbered — at least when it comes to the vintage muscle cars from the 1960s and 1970s, whose engines can be modiﬁed for performance. “When these cars are gone that’s the end of the hot rod era,” Horton said

In addition to a 62-acre site adjacent to the Greenbelt Metro station, a 59-acre site in Springﬁeld, Va. and an 80-acre site in Landover, site of the former Landover Mall, are also under consideration. Public “open house” meetings are being held at each site, allowing visitors to discuss different aspects of the process with GSA ofﬁcials. A meeting is scheduled to take place from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at Prince George’s Sports and Learning Complex, 8001 Sheriff Road in Landover. Dowd said the information obtained from the open houses will be incorporated into the GSA’s Environmental Impact Statement, the draft of which is tentatively expected to be published early spring 2015.

Another aspect calls for the conversion of the parking lot at The Mall at Prince Georges into a series of small pedestrian-friendly shops and restaurants, with plenty of green space and open-air seating, as well as mixed-use housing. Elevated parking garages would be built behind buildings to handle parking for vehicles, O’Neill said. The plan calls for the addition of more traffic lights along East-West Highway and the creation of bicycle lanes,

said a final decision will be released shortly after the final EIS is released, likely spring 2016. The FBI site is expected to bring with it 11,000 jobs and $2 billion in economic development, and officials in Maryland and Virginia have been lobbying for their respective sites. Frederick Tutman, CEO of the Upper Marlboro-based watershed advocacy nonprofit Patuxent Riverkeeper, said he

had concerns about the impact having the FBI headquarters in Greenbelt would have on the watershed. “Two-thirds of the site is wetlands and flood plains,” Tutman said. “Wetlands are often called the kidneys of a watershed; they have a flushing or detoxifying effect on water quality, so damage or impact on them, impervious surfaces next to them, could be ecologically

harmful.” Snyder said locating the FBI headquarters in Landover would give the county the same economic beneﬁt without harming the environment. “It’s a former mall site. You’re not clearing land and cutting trees and damming streams like you would be here. I’d prefer to have it in Landover. It would beneﬁt that part of the county, inside the Beltway,

or possibly rapid public transit lanes, in place of the current right-turn lanes on East-West Highway, O’Neill said. “We view East-West Highway as kind of a wall that separates the Metro station from all of the development that’s occurring at the Metro station,” said Brad Frome, Prince George’s county executive’s chief of staff. “We’ve got to slow this road down and make it more welcoming to pedestrians.” George McDaniel III of Hyattsville said any plan for the transit area needs to increase police presence. “If you put cops on bikes, cops on foot, cops all over, you can control crime. The key is

community policing,” McDaniel said. Alyson Reed of Hyattsville agreed that a bigger police presence is needed. “I’ve never seen an ofﬁcer on foot anywhere near the mall,” Reed said. Reed said that making the area more walkable is undoing what had been done before. “You’re trying to retrofit what was designed as a carcentered suburban place into an urban place,” Reed said. “To do that, you’ve got to change the culture as well.” Ricks said it only takes 10 percent of drivers to change their form of transportation to make an area more pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

“We don’t need everyone to change their behavior,” Ricks said. “If you can get 10 percent of people into a mass

Berwyn Heights resident Jeremy Weiss said he’d like to see the FBI in Greenbelt. “I’m very much in favor of it. I think it would be a tremendous beneﬁt on the area,” Weiss said. Robert Trueheart of Landover declined to say which site he preferred, but said he’d be

Vote against longer term limits, fewer papers of record Couched in a group of Prince George’s County ballot questions that should easily be approved are two pretty significant requests that must be soundly rejected: permission to extend term limits and to be able to reduce the number of newspapers of record, publications authorized to carry public and legal notices. The QUESTIONS Gazette has H AND J ARE long been DISSERVICE opposed to TO PRINCE term limits; GEORGIANS we believe voters should decide when an elected official leaves office, and it’s a disservice when a strong leader must leave because of such rules. However, Question J seeks merely to make term limits slightly longer, extending county executive and council terms from two to three — and smacks of a gradual attempt to remove term limits. The county should either keep or remove the limits, not add a few years based on what leaders think voters will let them get away with. For this reason, The Gazette opposes Question J. Another less-talked-about referendum is Question H, a request that

OUROPINION the county only be required to have at least one newspaper of record. Instead of the current rule of having at least three papers of record, the county would also use countymaintained electronic media for such items. While this may seem minor, it’s actually a big deal. Legal information needs to be easily accessible by the community and, unfortunately, computers are not yet readily available to all residents. One only needs to look at the struggle libraries have encountered as job-seekers compete with students for free computer time. In addition, the Prince George’s government is still working to regain residents’ trust, so it’s important to have independent carriers for legal and public notices rather than relying on the government. The county’s disturbing request also would complicate access to information such as foreclosures, a major problem in Prince George’s County. In the interest of full disclosure, The Gazette’s sister paper, The Enquirer-Gazette, is a county paper of record. And we recognize that

computer access is growing daily. However, until that time becomes a reality — and until the county government website becomes an easy and reliable place for legal information and notices — the government owes it to county residents to make the information as widely available as possible. For these reasons, Prince George’s voters should vote against questions H and J. However, the other ballot questions should get approved with no problem.

Questions A through E The ﬁrst ﬁve questions ask voters whether the county can borrow money and issue bonds for construction and repair of public safety, library, community college, county, and public works and transportation facilities. The price tag is high at $727.3 million, but the work must be done.

Question F County officials want the flexibility to be able to issue bonds in serial form or term form (they differ based on maturation dates). Put in layman’s terms, officials want to be able to use the bond that would best

ﬁt their ﬁnancing strategy. It makes sense.

Question G Currently, if the county executive leaves office less than two years before the end of the term, the County Council is required to vote one of its own as a replacement or the council chair fills in as county executive until the next election. Question G would let the chief administrative officer serve as acting county executive until action is taken. The alternative would be to leave the post empty until the council makes a decision, which doesn’t make sense, so we support Question G.

Question I Although disability and sexual orientation are protected categories under state law, the county charter doesn’t include them in the list of prohibited forms of discrimination for county employees. Question I simply adds them to the list, as it should.

Statewide ballot questions Question 1 involves the Transportation Trust Fund, a pot of

money Maryland collects that includes revenue from the gas tax and vehicle registration fees. The fund was created to pay for transportation projects, but over the years, lawmakers have distributed the money to other programs to balance the Maryland budget. The question would require the fund be spent on road and transit projects. The money could be transferred into other accounts if the governor declares a fiscal emergency and the General Assembly approves legislation authorizing the transfer with a three-fifths majority. We think these are significantly high hurdles and transfers will be rare, which means the money will be used for the purpose intended. Statewide Question 2 authorizes charter counties to hold special elections whenever a county executive cannot finish a term and there’s a vacancy in the office. Currently, if a Prince George’s County executive has less than two years left in the term and leaves office, the position can be filled only by an appointment from the County Council. Choosing “yes” for Question 2 will be a step forward, giving voters a greater say in their governments in rare instances when a county executive resigns or dies in office.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

Vote ‘No’ on Question J

Speaking Sept. 16 before the Democratic Central Committee, County Executive Rushern Baker advanced a new and novel argument in favor of eliminating term limits: they are disrespectful and treat voters as “immature.” There are at least two things wrong with that argument. First, we the voters put those term limits in place because of the poor quality and too-often corrupt political leadership which the county has experienced historically and as a check against machine politics where incumbents are impossible to dislodge, no matter how offensive (or criminal) their behavior or incompetent their performance. Second, it is the political slates which are disrespectful of voters and treat us as immature. Look at voters lined up at any polling station and you will see many of them carrying glossy full color mailers showing the smiling faces of each of the candidates who bought their way on to that slate. Those voters are not being asked to think and make an informed decision; all they are expected to do is to follow the instructions on the mailer: vote for the candidates on the slate — and they do. Thus are voters treated like sheep, queued up to be sheared. Finally, the slates themselves are anti-Democratic. If there was a viable two-party system in Prince George’s County, people might have a real choice. Since there is not a two-party system, there is almost no competition. Further, because there is no meaningful competition, the outcome of the November election has already been decided by the Primary in June in which only

89,000 of the 510,000 registered voters went to the polls out of a county population of 890,000. Try arguing why/how 10 percent of the population should choose the political leadership for themselves plus the other 90 percent. Since term limits passed in 1992, no county executive or County Council member has lost re-election. Many have run unopposed. Those with challengers have mostly won in landslides. Further, the longer politicians remain in office, the more they become beholden to and captive of special interests, developers, financial backers and slatemakers. Baker seems to want to make this a referendum on his administration. The good which he has done the past four years is a marked improvement over what came before, but there is still much that needs to be done during his second term. Personally, I will vote for him, never mind that he is running unopposed. But Question J also applies to the nine members of the County Council, where the good, the bad and the indifferent too often abide. Term limits force periodic change in order to avoid a permanent political class and to allow new blood to come forward. Who is to say that the incoming officeholder won’t be better than the outgoing one? Vote NO on Question J on the November ballot.

I had the good fortune to drive through Arizona and while passing through the town of Red Mesa, a sign in front of the local high school caught my attention: The Red Mesa Redskins. A high school located right in the heart of the Navajo Indian Nation Reservation, with a student body consisting of nearly 100 percent American Indians. Upon returning home and reading the Sept. 11 issue of The Gazette, I ﬁnd a letter to the editor [“Stop spread-

I’d wager that the Red Mesa Redskins are proud of their heritage ... and use the name “Redskins” with pride also. ing racism”] espousing, unequivocally, that the name and term “redskin” is racist, and accordingly should never be used. So per the cited previous

letter, what am I allowed to call the Red Mesa teams? I don’t know much about this Arizona Navajo High School. I live 2,000 miles away in Maryland. But I’d wager

Apparently, you don’t have enough to do managing Prince George’s County. You have to take on another organization to stay busy [“Prince George’s County executive elected president of national organization,” Aug. 7]. Why am I paying you if you’re not devoting full time to this county? If you want to manage some other organization, why don’t you pay the taxpayers of this county for the time you spend on non-county business?

In plain English: Do your fun and games on your own time, not on taxpayers’ dime. The article states, “CEA advocates for county ofﬁcials at Congress, the White House and other federal agencies.” Why instead don’t you advocate for Prince George’s County with Congress, the White House and other agencies. That’s what I thought we hired and are paying you to do. After the Jack Johnson ﬁasco, you

that the Red Mesa Redskins are proud of their heritage, proud of their school, and use the name “Redskins” with pride also. The original Americans were forced off their land, forced to change much of their culture and forced onto reservations. Apparently, this writer would now force them to change their team’s name. After all the word “redskin” is racist.

Two Raiders poised to compete for county title despite lack of teammates BY

DeMatha Catholic High School senior goalie Keegan Meyer makes a save Monday during practice.

DeMatha’s Mr. Shutout

Senior and his defenders have kept opponents scoreless in 16 of past 20 games n

ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

he DeMatha Catholic High School boys soccer team had an uncharacteristically poor start last season and found itself at 2-4 following a fourgame losing streak. So, in need of a change, the Stags moved their Naval Academy-bound senior goalkeeper, Mac Burke, onto the ﬁeld, and replaced him with a junior, Keegan Meyer, who had only a few games of varsity experience under his belt. This, it turned out, was exactly what the Hyattsville school needed. The untested goalkeeper rattled

off shutouts in 11 of the final 13 games, leading DeMatha to a 13-game win streak and a Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title. “The opportunity came and I took advantage of it,” he said. “... I was surprised, but I was ready.” Meyer, now a senior, has become the backbone of a defense that has recorded 16 shutouts — and has yet to lose — in the 20 games since the lineup change last September. The Stags are 4-0-3 this season with the Silver Spring resident starting in net. “We’re like a family. We don’t break easily,” he said. Meyer, 6-foot-2, has a combination of size, athleticism and agility that’s made him one of the top goalkeepers in the area. Though he was quiet at first, he has developed into one of the Stags’ leaders in his second year starting in net. Senior teammate James Gielen said his voice on the field has been a major

part of the team’s success. “He’s not scared to be [vocal]. He knows what to do ... And he knows how to keep possession. We can trust him if we pass the ball back to him,” Gielen said. Meyer hasn’t been tested much this season, assistant coach Tommy Park said. But on the rare occasions the team has needed its last line of defense to come up big, he’s been up to the task. In a 0-0 tie against Gonzaga College High (Washington, D.C.), he steered away a well-placed shot off a set piece to preserve the shutout, and had another big save in a 3-0 win over Penn Charter (Pa.). “He’s developed,” Park said. “... He took a lot from that last year — that success — and he’s been able to really lead the group this year.” And the one goal (as of Monday) that Meyer has

Central football starts new tradition: Winning Falcons hoping to carry early momentum into playoff berth

BY TERRON HAMPTON SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

TOM FEDOR/THE GAZETTE

Central High School’s Keith Franklin catches a pass Saturday in the end zone with defense from Central’s Joseph Fletcher.

As players gathered near the end zone closest to the concession stand following Saturday’s 14-0 victory over Crossland High School in Temple Hills, the Central football program found itself in a rare position. A team picture was in store with constant high-fives exchanged and all posing holding up three fingers and smiling. Typically, starting the season undefeated after three games wouldn’t warrant such a celebration, but Falcons coach Ken Amaker’s post-game speech gave justification. “I don’t know the last time Central High football has been 3-0 and I

don’t care. But we are,” Amaker said as a collective roar erupted from the Falcons players. Three seasons ago, Central capped an 0-10 campaign and Amaker, a first-time high school coach, had to process it all. “There was a point where I sat in my office and I had to re-think, ‘Am I doing the right things?’” he said. “I went out and did some self-reflection and asked a couple of coaching mentors and they were like, ‘You’re doing the right thing.’” Amaker and his staff appear to have the program headed for a successful run. In most years, the Falcons would find themselves in the County 3A/2A/1A League cellar after three weeks. Now, they are tied for first place. Falcons junior linebacker and

Growing up, Eleanor Roosevelt High School junior Lance Jewell said he eagerly awaited the day that he could play golf for the Raiders, a perennial county powerhouse. The pre-teen watched jealously as his older brother, Austin Jewell, made trip after trip to the University of Maryland Golf Course to compete for Roosevelt in the team state championships. And when the time finally came for Lance to represent the Greenbelt school, the Raiders still reigned supreme in Prince George’s County. Roosevelt entered August looking for their sixth straight county and regional title, returning a few individuals, including Jewell, from a team that had reached last season’s state tournament. But when the junior arrived for the first practice of the season, something didn’t seem right. The Raiders had only three varsity players, one short of the number required to constitute a team in competition. The program that had dominated the county for the better part of the last decade was not a team at all. “I wasn’t too happy about it,” Jewell said bluntly. “It was kind of disheartening,” senior Andrew Hung added. Hung and his younger brother, sophomore Ben Hung, join Jewell as to comprise Roosevelt’s individual competitors. In the weeks leading up to the start of the season, coach Troy Bradbury had anticipated the return of senior Ishmael Jabbie, who was expected to lead a team that didn’t necessarily have as much depth as Roosevelt teams of the past. But just days before the season began, Jabbie informed the team of his decision not to play his senior year. “He just decided he didn’t want to compete,” Bradbury said of Jabbie, who also stars on the Raiders’ basketball team. “He wasn’t interested in competitive golf anymore.” While Jabbie’s decision played some part in Roosevelt’s inability to field a team and left Bradbury without one of the county’s premier talents, there was no time to brood in what could’ve been. “It is what it is,” Jewell said of his exteammate’s decision. “You can’t change people’s minds.” Though Bradbury and his golfers won’t have the chance to defend their team county crown this season, the Raiders’ coach can still call on two of the county’s premier golfers in Andrew Hung, a second team All-Gazette selection as a junior, and Jewell, an All-Gazette honorable mention selection as a sophomore — a pair that has come to embrace their friendly rivalry during this season’s unique circumstances. “We don’t really compete as tough

Potomac defensive lineman lets his actions speak for him Transfer from Damascus makes key play vs. Friendly n

On a field with some big talkers, it was the actions of a defensive end that spoke loudest at Saturday’s Potomac vs. Friendly high school football game at Potomac’s Oxon Hill campus. To be fair, the Potomac football team does have a lot to talk about, especially after the Wolverines defeated Friendly 43-16 on Saturday to start this season 3-0, including a victory against defending County 4A League champion Suitland, which played for the Class 4A state title last year. You could talk about terrific senior running back Kesean Strong, who showed that he’s far more than the fastest guy on the field. He took a hard hit waiting on his first punt re-

turn and shook that cheap shot off to come back and rush 112 yards on 15 carries, many of those coming after being hit and spinning away. KEN SAIN Then SPORTS EDITOR there’s senior quarterback Emil Neugent, who passed for 233 yards and three touchdowns vs. Friendly. He also had an 80-yard TD pass to Strong called back by a penalty. No problem, he tossed an 83yard scoring strike to Yusef Muhammad on the next play. There’s still more to talk about on defense, which held Friendly to zero points until 2 minutes, 53 seconds

remained in the third quarter. The Wolverines are surrendering less than 10 points per game so far this year. A lot to talk about, and boy does Potomac love to talk. If the mouth guard isn’t in, then someone on that team is talking. That is, however, until you interview senior defensive end Jeffrey Keene, who is 6-foot-3, 185 pounds. He admitted he’s not a big talker. One of the key plays of Saturday’s game: Potomac (3-0) is leading 8-0 and has all the momentum at the end of the ﬁrst quarter. You can sense things are starting to get away from Friendly and the Patriots (2-1) need to swing it back. Friendly takes over its own 31 with 5:31 to play. Quarterback Tarik Smith III leads the Patriots on a 13play drive down to the Potomac 2. First and goal, needing only two yards

to possibly tie the game, Potomac’s defense said enough. First down, no gain. Second down, they surrendered 1 yard. Third and goal at the 1, no gain. On fourth down, Keene breaks free from his block and tackles Friendly’s Reicardo Smith in the backfield, one of three tackles for losses I counted for him that game. Friendly ends up with no points with 10:29 remaining in the second quarter. It would be 14-0 at halftime and 20-0 after the first drive of the third quarter. Game well in hand. So where did Keene come from? “Well, actually, he’s my cousin,” Potomac coach Ronnie Crump said. Keene spent his first three years at Damascus High School in Montgomery County, where he never

Eleanor Roosevelt senior learns to get his teammates involved Eleanor Roosevelt High School’s Manuel Mejicanos had a strong start last season, but let that success get to his head, coach George Kallas said. “[He] thought he could do it all by himself,” said Kallas, a 29th-year coach at the Greenbelt school.

DuVal High School’s David Olabisin (right) moves the ball against Raul Moran of visiting Bowie during Tuesday’s boys soccer game in Lanham.

Consider the lesson learned. Mejicanos has been making up for last year’s poor ﬁnish in a big way this fall, registering more than 10 goals, including three in a 3-2 victory against Bowie on Sept. 18. While the 5-foot-8 senior has showed off his talents as a goal scorer and thrived in one-on-one situations, he’s also getting his teammates involved, Kallas said. “This year he’s playing more of a team game,” Kallas said. The Raiders (5-2 including tournament play) look set for a deep playoff run. Their lone Prince George’s County loss came against undefeated High Point, 3-2. Roosevelt stormed back in the second

Park to watch the University of Maryland men defeat Dayton 1-0 at Ludwig Field. The 22 students received free tickets through the Brandywine school’s athletic department, thirdyear coach Glen Breeding said. Some stood on the ﬁeld during the game — working as ball runners — and others sat at midﬁeld on the lower level. Breeding said the team met with some of the Terrapins. “It was a really good experience for the guys that are looking to go to college,” he said. “... They see the speed ... and how strong they are.” The Yellow Jackets are 3-1 after losing to Crossland, 5-2, on Tuesday. Senior striker Luis Vargas had eight goals before the loss to the Temple Hills school. Gwynn Park, 12-2 last season, has a young but talented roster that includes juniors Devin Wallace and Dillon Breeding (coach’s son). “I have some very, very elite players playing for me,” the elder Breeding said.

Jewell is an emotion-fueled power hitter who consistently sends the ball 280-300 yards per drive, but admittedly struggles with putting mistakes behind him.

moving on. Hung, on the other hand, is characterized by his ability to “run even” by Bradbury. “Andrew’s just an all-around good player,” the Raiders coach said. “He’s very methodical. He doesn’t get too excited or down on himself. He just plays.” “They’re totally different players,” Bradbury said. During those summer rounds, the friends used their time to try and help ﬁne tune the other’s weaknesses — Jewell studying the mechanics of Hung’s swing for nuances that could give him more power, and Hung helping Jewell to mentally map the approach to each hole. Now, with the postseason rapidly approaching, the Roosevelt pair have separated themselves from the county’s pack, with the exception of Oxon Hill sophomore Morgan Miner —

a trio that Bradbury says have been pitted against one another at the top all season. “Their biggest issue is that [Jewell and Hung] really only have one person that competes with them, and that’s Morgan Miner,” the Roosevelt coach said. “They’re kind of just playing against each other and that sort of takes that drive away a little bit.” But given the adversity and repetitiveness the Raider standouts have dealt with already this season, they remain focused on making a state run of their own. “I definitely tried to push myself a little harder [this season],” Jewell said. “I go out there and try and do it for Roosevelt and Prince George’s County and for myself.”

adding he enjoyed watching his former teammates’ 19-11 victory. And how has the transition been from Damascus to Potomac? “It’s different,” Keene said. Keene also plays tight end and does the punting and kicking for the Wolverines. He converted only one of his point-after tries on Saturday. “We’re still working on the kicking,” Crump said.

What doesn’t need as much work is his play at defensive end. He and senior Mauricio Reyes (who had two tackles for losses) were major factors in Saturday’s win. For now, Crump is just happy Keene’s mother moved back home. “He’s back where he always should have been,” Crump said.

There are really no individuals on this team because we all put in the same effort.” Dorsey and his teammates are hoping to establish a tradition in a program that virtually has none. Check in the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association’s football record

book, and Central is not listed because it has never made a postseason appearance. That trend of losing could be coming to an end. “We started out kind of rough but coach always pushed us to do our best and I knew, eventually, we were going to start getting these [wins],” Falcons senior wide receiver/defensive back Daniel Little said. “Our [fan base] in school is starting to get a little bit bigger. We just have to keep our heads in the game and it’s going to get even bigger.” Amaker followed the plan most successful programs use to get his squad on track. “When I first got here, we had kids that hadn’t lifted weights,” Amaker said. “Now its starting to take effect because I have kids that have been in the program for three years. Their bodies are stronger and bigger. We’re finishing games. The second part, which is kind of out of my control, is the school spirit. We have a basketball team that made it to a region final. We have a good indoor and outdoor track team. Now, there is no shame in wearing a shirt that has Central High School on it.” Central sophomore starting quarterback Damarii Sumpter admitted with a grin that students he is unacquainted with come up to him and know his name. “Coach gave me a lot of confidence last year when I got the chance to start,” said Sumpter, who has been the starter 10 consecutive games. “When I made a bad play, he would just pat me on the back and tell me not to worry about it. It’s a lot of buzz around the school because we are winning games and it’s just seems like a lot more love.” As Central continues the march to its goal of the playoffs, the seeds of unity have been planted in the minds of all in the program. “We see each other in the hallway, we talk to each other every chance we get,” Dorsey said. “During two-a-days, we stayed together as a family, we believe, ‘One Falcon, One family.’ On the field and wherever we are, we stay together.”

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK BY PRINCE J. GRIMES The Pro Bowl cornerback of the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns graduated from Friendly in 2007 before going to college at the University of Florida. In 2010, he was drafted by the Browns in the ﬁrst round of the NFL draft. A Fort Washington native, Haden has regularly given back to the school where he became a top-recruit in the country. He and his father provided new uniforms and equipment for the Patriots this season and said they plan to do so each year. He’ll be in town for this weekend’s game, and Friendly plans to honor him. “It’s just good to know that you got somebody that was out here — this same practice ﬁeld — practicing and made it,” Friendly coach Vaughn Smith said. “And

that gives these kids a chance to say, ‘Coach I want to be like him. I can make it like him.”

DuVal forfeits win Parkdale High School Athletic Director Brian Moore confirmed with The Gazette that DuVal will forfeit its victory over the Panthers. The Tigers won on the field, 48-0, Saturday. The forfeit stems from an open-gym violation during the offseason, where a player transferring from Parkdale to DuVal was deemed to be improperly in DuVal’s facilities before the transfer was complete. The win would have been DuVal’s first of the season, but instead the Tigers fall to 0-3. They will try again on Saturday when play host to defending County 4A League champion Suitland (1-2). And despite not scoring a point for the second consecutive game, Parkdale (1-2) has its first win of the season. The Panthers are set to play Bladensburg (0-3) on Saturday.

As Justin Mack lined up on the first play from the line of scrimmage knowing he was going to get the ball, he trusted the handoff would be there, the massive offensive line was going to create a running lane and that his coach trusted he would make the most of it. Trust was a common theme throughout the week for the Northwestern Wildcats (2-1) and they looked cohesive in their 37-0 romping of the Laurel Spartans (1-2). “The word of the day was trust,” Northwestern coach Bryan Pierre said. “We had to trust that we were going to take care of our assignments. The guys took care of their assignments, responsibilities, and we had some success.” Mack’s first carry was a 56-yard run that set up what would be five rushing touchdowns for the Wildcats “They said we had to come out and punch them in the mouth so I just ran through the hole and kept going from there,” Mack said. Northwestern players said they were adamant about getting off to a hot start on Laurel’s home field after the Spartans spoiled their homecoming last season. The Wildcats used a smash-mouth brand of football and collection of running backs to come away with the shutout victory. Mack, along with Akeem Laguerre, each rushed for more than 100 hundred yards. Mack had 121 yards and one touchdown on 12 carries while Laguerre finished with 102 yards and two scores. They finished with 286 rushing yards. The Northwestern offensive line had a clear physical advantage and used it to pave ways for the Wildcats rushing attack. “They pretty much just man-handled us

The Wildcats won, 37-0, to improve to 2-1 this year. on both sides of the ball today,” said Laurel coach Delbert Hughes. Mack made sure the offensive line’s performance didn’t go unnoticed. “It was a huge difference because you can’t do anything without your line,” Mack said about the group up front. “It felt good that they trusted in me that I was going to make the right cut.” Two other of Mack’s and Laguerre’s backfield mates found the end zone. Senior Janard Taylor scored in the first quarter to make it 13-0 and junior Ikechukwu Ogwuegbu scored to start the fourth quarter and begin the running clock with the score 37-0. It wasn’t just the offense that was stout in the victory. The Wildcat defense recorded their second straight shutout and did the not-so-easy job of containing Laurel quarterback Michael Hubbard. Hubbard finished with only 94 yards of total offense. Pierre said containing Hubbard

was a point of emphasis all week leading up to the game. “He is an athlete. He can go. He can hurt you if you let him get out of the pocket,” Pierre said. “We worked all week long to keep him bottled up.” “We were containing the outside,” defensive lineman Dontay Smith said. “The defensive line made sure to stay keyed in on the quarterback so he wouldn’t run anywhere.” One of the lone bright spots for Laurel was the play of cornerback Devonn Hinckley. Hinckley caused two Northwestern turnovers, intercepting Wildcat quarterback Walter Reape and also forcing a fumble deep in their own territory. Hughes said his Spartans didn’t come to play. After Mack’s big day, Pierre is ready to trust the junior workhorse even more. “He’s really coming into his own for a young guy,” Pierre said. “We are going to ride him as far as he takes us. “

Suitland holds on for the win, beating Bowie Rams get two early scores, keep Bulldogs out until the ﬁnal minute

SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

The Suitland High School football team earned its ﬁrst victory of the season on Saturday, holding off a late charge by visiting

Bowie for a 12-6 win. The Rams (1-2) marched down the ﬁeld on their opening drive, covering 75 yards on nine straight runs capped by a 15-yard touchdown carry from Rakeem Darden. Two possessions later, Suitland capitalized on excellent ﬁeld position with a Marlon Brown sneak for a score from a yard out. The 12 points proved to be all the Rams needed, but coach Ed Shields knows that his

squad will need to play better if they want to contend for a playoff berth. The Suitland defense did all they could to keep the Rams ahead, forcing four turnovers (three interceptions and a fumble), and stopping three fourth-down conversion attempts. The Bulldogs (1-2) scored their only points on their ﬁnal possession of the game, with just 50 seconds left to play.

New theater group delves into effects of suicide on everyone n

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Traumatic life experiences can shake people to their cores in various ways, and the facades friends and family try to keep in place during despair can come down in various ways — an effect playwright and director William Leary explores in his

play “Masquerade.” This is the second production for Wolf Pack Theatre Company, which Leary founded late last year. The play follows six relatives of a recent suicide victim, and the family members have gathered in a church to make the ﬁnal arrangements. Leary works with Community Crisis Services, Inc., a local organization that provides a crisis hotline for those facing challenges, including suicide ideation. The inspiration for “Masquerade” came

from a friend of Leary’s who had attempted suicide in high school but survived, though he sustained brain damage in the process. While writing his play, however, Leary kept coming back to the supporting characters and their experiences. “I really wanted to tell their story — what happens after someone completes a suicide,” Leary said. “I wanted to show their emotions in an honest way: the anger, the grief, the blame, but most of all the questions that go unanswered.” The topic of suicide has

appeared in public forums recently due to the high-proﬁle case of Robin Williams, who committed suicide on Aug. 11, 2014. The pervasive nature of the event led to many discussions about the feelings and reasoning surrounding a suicide, and the effect was not lost on the cast and crew of “Masquerade.” “During the rehearsal process, we heard about Robin Williams and one actor found

Company one of the ﬁrst to can instead of bottle

Sly Fox Brewery in Pottstown, Pa., is a rapidly growing brewery now selling in five states in the Mid-Atlantic region as well as New York and Washington, D.C. Starting as a Phoenixville, Pa., brewpub in 1996, the production brewing facility was added in 2004 and relocated and expanded in 2012. Brewing in 2014 is expected to be 21,000 barrels, about a 40 percent growth over 2013. Sly Fox produces five yearround beers: Phoenix Pale Ale, Helles Golden Lager, Route 113 IPA, 360 IPA, and their best selling Pikeland Pils, a Great American Beer Festival gold medal winner. The brewery also makes five seasonal beers: Oktoberfest Lager, Odyssey Imperial IPA, Christmas Ale, Royal Weisse, and Grisette, a relative of the Belgian Saison style. Brewmaster Brian O’Reilly has been with Sly Fox since 2002 and is noted for his interpretations of classic Belgian and German styles. The brewery bottles a number of specialty beers during the year totaling 40-50 styles in 2013, about half of which are available commercially in cans or 22-ounce bottles, with the remainder only sold on draft. Sly Fox was the first brewery in the Mid-Atlantic region to install a canning line and many of its beers are available only in cans. Grisette Working Class Ale (5.6 percent alcohol by volume, ABV) is an unusual style originally brewed for consump-

BREWS BROTHERS STEVEN FRANK AND ARNOLD MELTZER tion by Belgian miners rather than the related Saison style which was designed for farm workers. Grisette has a sweet malt and light lemon nose. Very smooth throughout, it has an understated sweet malt front with a tempered melange of citrus fruits including orange, grapefruit and lemon. The lemon citrus ebbs as the malt increases in the middle. A soft earthiness emerges along with a pleasant tartness in the finish as the citrus fades completely. In the aftertaste the tartness stays and lingers while the other flavors wane. Ratings: 8.5/7.5. Saison Vos (6.9 percent ABV) has a honey, earthy and yeasty aroma which presages a mild earthy front with a cordial tartness and a hint of peach/ apricot. The effervescent middle adds a wisp of sweet malt. In the finish a muted tangy bite is joined by a touch of bitter hops and a nuance of orange peel zestiness. The aftertaste presents restrained increases in both the orange zestiness and bitter hops. Ratings: 7/7.5. Pikeland Pils (4.9 percent ABV) has a honey and sweet malt bouquet. The genial sweet malt front has the malt increasing a shade with a splash of bitter hops in the middle. The bitter hops grow a pinch in the finish and continue to increase to medium in the aftertaste which has a lingering dryness. Ratings: 8.5/8.5.

out two of her high school friends had committed suicide,” Leary said. “It’s been a bit tricky at times, and it’s really opened up a lot of people’s eyes as far as, ‘This can happen to anyone.’ Suicide isn’t somebody else’s problem, and it isn’t a situation where someone can say they’ve never been affected by it.” Wolf Pack Theatre Company is still new, and as such it can be hard to fund certain productions. While Leary applied for and was awarded a grant from the Prince George’s County Arts and Humanities Council, he also turned to unconventional means to fund his new project. Kickstarter is a Web site where anyone can donate as little or as much as they want to a project of their choice — but each proposed project only has 30 days from creation to raise the money, or they don’t receive any of it. Leary met and surpassed his goal of $1,000, taking in $1,325 to use toward producing “Masquerade.” While it may appear to be a modest amount for a theatrical production, he was happy with the money received. “Too often people think theater has to be expensive, has to have a lot of ﬂashy lights and big names,” he said. “To me, true theater is based in honesty and realism, and ‘Masquerade’ keeps a realistic set and realistic tone.” Just as the community helped Leary out, he aims to give back through his productions. His primary goal for Wolf Pack Theatre Company is to focus efforts on new writers or to pursue shows that follow a social issue — or sometimes both. Proceeds from “Masquerade” will go to various local suicide prevention efforts, and he has plans to donate

funds from future productions to related organizations in the area and beyond. “One thing that we really try to do is give back to the community,” he said. “I was lucky enough that I had a core group of people who have supported me throughout the years when I’ve made bad choices, and I want someone else to have that opportunity.” While the production will be directly helping those considering suicide, he hopes the play also resonates with those unfamiliar with what goes into play when considering taking one’s life as well as the aftermath following a completed suicide. Misconceptions abound, and hopefully witnessing the feelings of the characters in “Masquerade” will shed light on the subject. “People consider suicide to be a selﬁsh act,” Leary said, “but the person doesn’t feel they’re being selﬁsh — they see this as a way to release everyone else from the anger, the blame, the concern. And that’s one thing I’m trying to make clear, that it’s not black and white.

The ﬁnal curtain

This weekend, the bad guy (or gal) will be caught for the ﬁnal time in Laurel. After that, you’re all on your own! Mwahahahahahaha! OK, it’s a little early for Halloween, but the big baddie will be apprehended one more time on Sunday to close out Laurel Mill Playhouse’s run of Agatha Christie’s “The Mousetrap.” The play, which ﬁrst opened in 1952 and has since gone on to have more than 25,000 performance around the world, begins innocently enough — with the death of a woman named Maureen Lyon. Hey, you can’t have a

murder mystery without a murder, now can you? It goes on from there, but really, I can’t do it justice by talking about it. You’ll just have to head to Laurel Mill Playhouse to see for yourself. And remember, when you ﬁnd out the big twist, keep it to yourself. Agatha Christie would have wanted you to do that! Tickets for the show are $20, with $15 tickets available for students, seniors and active military. For more information, visit laurelmillplayhouse.org or call 301452-2557.

The blues quartet Hard Swimmin’ Fish will be performing at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt on Friday.

For 20 years, the blues quartet of Demian Lewis, Waverly Milor, Jason Walker and Randy Ball, has worked and played together as the band Hard Swimmin’ Fish. As with most hard-swimmin’ ﬁsh, the band takes twists and turns to get to where they’re going — in this case, it’s playing varying styles of blues music. The quartet will perform at 8 p.m. on Friday at the New Deal Cafe in Greenbelt. Hard Swimmin’ Fish plays a range of styles from the country blues of Mississippi and The Piedmont, to urban Chicago-style blues with a little funk and New Orleans’ soul thrown in for good measure. That versatility allows the group to play either acoustic or electric shows. For more information, visit newdealcafe.com or call 301-474-5642.
