County Now Requires ICE To Obtain Warrants

Prince George’s County is the
second jurisdiction in the state to
require the Immigration Customs
and Enforcement agency to obtain
a warrant to hold undocumented
immigrants in the county’s Department of Corrections past their
release date.
Before, the county only required ICE to issue an administrative order, according to the Prince
George’s County Department of
Corrections.
County Executive Rushern
Baker III opted to make this policy change following a recent
opinion by Maryland Attorney
General Doug Gansler in a letter,
said Yolanda Evans, public information officer for the Department
of Corrections.
According
to
Evans,
Gansler’s letter warned that holding immigrants based on requests
from ICE without probable cause
to believe they have committed a
crime could violate the Fourth
Amendment. Gov. Martin O’ Malley issued a policy in August for
Baltimore’s state-run jail to require ICE to prove probable cause
if the jail holds immigrants past
their release date.
Baker wanted to follow the
governor’s lead, Evans said.
“We have changed our policy
to reflect the recent advice by the
Maryland Attorney General that
states that individuals should not

Special to the Sentinel
The citizens of Prince
George’s County will have many
decisions to make during the November election, but one decision
could potentially give elected officials a lot more time in office to
make their own decisions.
On Nov. 4, the citizens will
vote on Question J. If passed, the
law would amend the charter to allow the county executive and county council to be elected to three
terms instead of the two to which
they are currently limited.
The county council unanimously approved placing the question on the ballot and the Prince
George’s County Charter Commission recommended the change in
April 2014.
Co-chairman of the charter
commission, retired Judge William
Missouri, said the commission
made a recommendation to increase
the term limits to lessen the historical drain on the governmental operations of the county.
“Anytime people who have
been there leave, you have a steep

be deprived of their liberty based
on an administrative detainer,”
said Mary Lou McDonough, director of the county’s Department
of Corrections. “We will only hold
individuals who have a warrant
which is issued after probable
cause is shown.”
The policy, which went into
effect Oct. 1, changes the county’s
participation in a federal program
aimed at identifying noncitizens
who commit serious crimes. The
county joined Secure Communities, a federal program where ICE
works together with local, state,
and federal police authorities to
identify noncitizens who commit
serious crimes, in December
2009, said Evans.
“People were being detained
left and right,” said Sirene Shebaya, attorney director for ACLU
of MD’s immigrants’ rights advocacy.
When someone is detained
for a crime, their fingerprints are
sent to ICE to check their immigration status. If they are found to
be undocumented, ICE may request the local detention center to
hold them until ICE can pick them
up and initiate the deportation
process.
Before the new policy, the
county could hold a person 48
hours past their scheduled release
date if ICE requested it, Shebaya
said.

Hoyer and Cardin introduce My Brother’s Keeper initiative at Bowie State
By Alexis A. Goring
Special to the Sentinel
BOWIE — Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) and Senator
Ben Cardin (D-Md.) collaborated
with Bowie State University President Mickey Burnim to highlight
President Barack Obama’s “My
Brother’s Keeper” initiative.
The program launched in February with the purpose of guiding
minority male youth to success by
connecting them with mentors.
“The ‘My Brother’s Keeper’
initiative is founded on the idea that
if we direct our energy and resources
toward helping boys and young men
of color today, we can enable them
to avoid the all-too-common pathways into poverty and despair,”
Hoyer said.“This initiative aims to
help them get onto pathways to college and careers – pathways toward
achieving the American dream that
should be within reach of all of our
citizens.”
“We’re at a time of incredible
innovation in our country and yet the
challenges and the complexity facing our young people is greater than
ever,” said Brandee McHale, chief
operating officer for Citi Foundation. “But there’s opportunity—
there are jobs out there—and what
we’re trying to do is making sure
that our young people are prepared
with not just the skills, but the know-
how, the determination, the confidence and the leadership that they
need to succeed in today’s 21st century workforce and economy.”
Travis Cherry, a sophomore at
Bowie State, said he thinks the
plight of the black man in America is
a universal issue.
“It’s not just on the politicians
to get rid of the obstacles that we
have or to put programs in place
where we can excel; it’s also on us to
us to want to search for these opportunities and to want to be successful
and to not defeat ourselves, so to
speak.”
Roy Austin, deputy assistant to
the president for urban affairs, justice and opportunity said he believes
in “opportunity for all.”
“It is about really improving the
odds for everybody and looking at
those who are struggling the most
and if you look at the numbers, boys
and young men of color are struggling the most in the areas of jobs,
education and involvement in the
criminal justice system,” said
Austin. “So that’s part of why the focus is there. But at the end of the day,
these are the things that will work
for everybody.”
According to Austin, the My
Brother’s Keeper initiative, which
caters to males up to age 25, works
by having the federal government
look at what it is doing to make sure
it’s doing what works.
“It’s about talking to private
foundations and making sure they
are assisting,” said Austin. “What
we’re talking about today is the
community challenge and it’s about
how every community can take part
and really look at what they’re doing
to make sure they’re helping out
those who need most.”
While Austin’s office does not
have a five-year plan for this new
initiative, they do have an idea of
what they want to accomplish by
Feb. 2015.
“Our one-year plan is to report
back that we have found programs
that work to move the needle for all
youth, including boys and young
men of color,” said Austin. “And
that we are really hitting the focus
areas meaning making sure kids are
ready for school in the first place,
making sure they can read by the
third grade, graduating from high
school, graduating from college,
having the skills to keep their jobs
and staying out of the criminal justice system.”
Sen. Ben Cardin and Sen. Barbara Mikulski are already at work to
help with My Brother’s Keeper on a
local level in the state of Maryland.
Prior to his speaking engagement at
Bowie State, Cardin had a meeting
dealing with ending racial profiling.
“We know that particularly
African-American males are very
much targeted by law enforcement.

We saw the tragic loss of Trayvon
Martin and Michael Brown. So
we’re working to end racial profiling
in America,” said Cardin. “We’re
working to improve education to
make it easier for families to afford
higher education. We’re dealing
with re-entry programs for those
who have been involved in the crim-
inal justice system…There are a lot
of action agenda items to make sure

Motorcyclist remembered as “such energy”
By Alexis A. Goring
Special to the Sentinel
Your spot for local sports
In print and online. We’re there.
SEABROOK—A crowd of
more than 150 motorcyclists gathered inside the sanctuary of the local
Seventh-day Adventist Church
Wednesday evening to remember
Suzanne Patricia Miller who died in a
motorcycle accident on I-97 three
days before.
“I feel so ripped off that we’ve
lost her and I can’t believe she’s
gone,” said Jacqueline “Baby K,” a
motorcyclist and close friend of
Miller’s. “She was such energy. She
was like this beautiful hurricane of
love, inspiration and intelligence—
that was Sue. She was a catalyst
everywhere she went—she walked in
and it didn’t matter what color, size or
shape the rest of the universe was, she
just made the whole universe melt
into one beautiful pot of loving, caring humanity.”
According to Maryland State
Police, troopers responded to the
scene of a collision involving Miller,
riding her 2008 Suzuki GSXR 600
bike, and a Chevrolet Cavalier driven
by Danielle Austin of Glen Burnie.
When police arrived, a physician
from the Baltimore Washington
Medical Center pronounced Miller
dead at the scene.
According to a preliminary investigation by the police, Miller attempted to overtake Austin by moving into the left lane, but Austin
moved to the left lane at the same
time because she anticipated Austin
coming from the rear. Miller’s motorcycle struck the Cavalier, police say,
and she veered off into the guardrail.
Jason Treleaven, senior trooper
with Glen Burnie Barrack, said police have a month to complete the investigation.
Jimmy Perrin, another biker and
friend of Miller’s who witnessed the
accident, said he disagreed with the
police’s interpretation of the incident.
Miller did not ride into the car, he
said, rather the car hit her.
“Obviously if you run into a car
going down a highway like I-97, you
would run into the back of them. You
don’t run into the side of a car because there are no intersections.”
Perrin said Miller
was in the left lane and
he was traveling in the
lane next to her. He noticed a car struggling to
change lanes.
“I believe she (the
driver of the car) didn’t
look so when she kind

Council chairman thinks a third term will help county elected officials
From “term limits” page 1
learning curve for the people who
are coming in,” Missouri said. “Our
thought was if, in fact, you could let
the people be there for a third term
it would give more stability to the
government.”
Missouri said commission’s
recommendation would benefit the
county. People who are elected into
office, Missouri said, do not get up
to speed with the system until about
two years into their term. If given
more time, they might be able to get
more work done.
“What we thought was that
maybe if you extended the term you
get a longer period of productivity
from those who are there,” Missouri said. “It is not a guarantee that
they will be there because someone
can always run against them.”
Missouri said the commission
looked at the situation objectively.
“We’re looking at it for good
government in the county,” Missouri said. “If people don’t know
what they’re doing, there’s going to
be a learning curve.”
Mel Franklin, chairman of the
county council, said the term limits
issue is really about voter choice
and not public officials.
“The referendum would allow
voters to decide if they want their
local leaders to have more experience or less,” Franklin said. “Right
now, term limits artificially make
sure that Prince George’s County
has the least experienced local
elected officials. What that leads to
is when it comes to competing for
resources, competing for economic
development or other aspects in
our region; we’re sort of doing it
with one hand tied behind our
back. Our counterparts have the advantage of many more years of experience as to how to accomplish
those things.”
Franklin said term limits take
the choice out of the hands of voters

from and about your community

when it comes to voting for elected
officials.
“What the referendum would
do is say voters have another term
to allow elected officials to stay in
office if they choose,” Franklin
said.
Franklin said he thinks there
could be a point where the county
considers removing term limits for
elected officials completely, because most neighboring jurisdictions, including Montgomery
County, do not have term limits.
Voters have to internalize the
issue of having local officials who
are the least experienced in the region. It is a big deal, Franklin said,
and can lead to having officials
with a much bigger learning curve
about how to get things done.
Franklin said having more experienced elected officials in the
county is in the best interest of the
local government. Just like with
any other job, Franklin said, the
more experience you have the bet-
ter the government will be.
William Cavitt, president of
the Indian Head Highway Area Action council, said the IHHAAC
unanimously voted to “vigorously
oppose” the possibility of another
term being added for the county executive and county council.
Cavitt said there should be no
learning curve for officials because
the county executive and council
should already have experience
serving the community.
“Candidates for county executive and county council ought to
have significant experience as citizen activists before running for
these offices,” Cavitt said. “With
that background, the learning curve
should be shallow. Further, many
council members and county executives historically have shown no
sense of urgency in addressing the
county’s problems. An eight-year
term limit versus 12 years incentivizes those who care to press
ahead on critical issues.”
Franklin said adding another
term would not prevent people
from running for office in the future. The voters still have to vote
for who they want to represent
them, Franklin said.
“Whether you’re trying to get
in local government or not, voters
have to vote you in,” Franklin said.
“A new person would have to run
and work hard to get elected.”
Cheryl Landis, the chair of the
Prince George’s County Democratic Central Committee, said the decision to add another term limit is up
to the voters of Prince George’s
county.
Landis said voters will know
which side they are on when they
go to the polls and cast their ballot.
“The bottom line for me is that
we need to provide that opportunity
for the voters,” Landis said. “The
people who come to vote regularly
are educated people. They know
exactly how they are going to vote
when they come to the polls.”

sued,” Shebaya said. “Many times
people were held without even
seeing a judge.”
Now, ICE will need to obtain
a warrant that demonstrates probable cause of a crime from a judge
to hold people in the county’s Department of Corrections, Shebaya
said.
Barry Stanton, the county’s
deputy chief administrative officer for public safety, said the decision is significant for the immigrant community of the county.
“I think the immigrant community will be more open to talk
to our law enforcement,” Stanton
said.
Prior to the new policy going
into effect, Shebaya said immi-
grants might have been hesitant to
come to the police out of fear of
being detained or deported.
ICE has not filed for any warrants since Oct. 3, said Evans.
“I don’t see that happening,”
said Stanton, referring to ICE filing for warrants to hold people in
the county’s Department of Corrections. “ICE would have to get a
warrant for everyone.”

THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL

NEWS MAKER
Mayor Robinson discusses accomplishments, challenges while serving Bowie
Last week we began an interview with Bowie Mayor G. Frederick Robinson, who has served in his
position since 1998 .
Robinson, who has lived in the
city since 1968 with his wife and has
four children, already touched on
some of his successes and the state
of the city. This week, we continue
the conversation as we discuss
Bowie Town Center, the city’s
strengthsm how the city can be improved.
Sentinel: Are there any situations you would have handled differently during your term as mayor?
Robinson: I don’t know. You
can always go back and criticize
what you did here or what you said
there. I made an inopportune, probably completely politically incorrect
comment earlier on in my career.
Somebody facetiously asked me
what my annexation proposals were
and I just said offhandedly, “Beltway
to the bank” and I’ve been eating that
ever since! We don’t annex at all.
Sometimes I have the tendency to be
a little critical of the planning
process in the county. There’s a little
friction there between us and some
of the folks down in the planning
commission.
I have a great relationship with
the county executive. I think we have
a much better relationship with county council. One of the challenges we
inherited was that Bowie had a reputation that we were anti-business,
anti-development, anti-other people,
anti-everything and it’s taken a long
time to chip away at that. Right now,
I think if you go the chamber and ask
them, “How would you describe the
city? Is it business-friendly or is it
unfriendly?” My guess is that the
overwhelming percentage would say
that Bowie is business-friendly.
The first project that I inherited
was Bowie Town Center. The county
had already approved and issued
grading permits for what would have
been a duplicate of the old Landover
Mall, and I said, “We think we can do
a little better than that.” And to their
credit, Simon Corporation which
owns the property was willing to sit
down with us and talk through that
because no building was not an option. The county already had grading
(surrounded by an ocean of asphalt)
permits. They could have started
building that day. But they were willing to sit down with us and talk
through it. So what we did is we put
them in a room with our professional
planning staff and I went out and I
got some of the loudest critics that I
could find and put them in a room
and said, “You can’t come out until
you come up with a better idea.” And
it took them a year, but they did!
They came up with this open-air
thing and unfortunately for our ego,
Bowie’s been reduced to an adjective
now because Simon Corporation
markets that project as “The Bowie
Model.”
It took us a year but at the end of
that debate, we went hand-in-hand
with the developer down the Park
and Planning Commission and I
think the chairman of the planning
commission almost had a heart attack when she saw the City of Bowie
hand-in-hand with the developer and
business group working together and
having come to an agreement.
Sentinel: What do you think
has been the impact of Bowie Town
Center?
Robinson: Obviously, I get the
complaint the traffic is greater and
the congestion is greater but the
commerce is also greater. The jobs
are better. The complaint I got earlier
on, “I can’t buy a dress in this city. I
can’t buy a suit in this city. I can’t
buy a toy in this city.” You don’t hear
that anymore. Could the retailers be
of higher end? Yes. Should there be a
higher end? Yes. But the town center
opened to full-service and today they
are fully staffed, there are no vacancies there. So that has shown that it
was the right thing for the right place
and the right design. Are there some
people who don’t like the design?
I’m sure. Are there people who didn’t want anything? I know that to be
a fact. But if you understand where
we started from that no building was
not an option for us, we either accepted what the county had already
approved or try to come up with
something different. And to their
credit and the county’s credit, they
were willing to sit back and take another look. It took us a year! But it’s
great now. I’m down there a lot. I see
it as a success. You put the right people in the right room, give them some
level of expectation and more often
than not, they’ll come up with a good
idea.
Sentinel: What do you think are
the strengths of this city?
Robinson: I think people just
enjoy being here. It’s the strongest,
most diverse, most family-friendly
community in the region. Our fundamental position and council says this
over and over again, “If you choose
to move to Bowie, our role is to make
sure you’re happy with that decision.” And we’ve tried to broaden
our appeal. Case in point, every Sunday during the summer, we have a
concert at Allen Pond and usually
we’d have a couple of people here.
But if you go through there now and
look down the roster, they’ll be a military band, a jazz band, a gospel
band, a rock n’ roll band and it’s incredible because there’s an incredible array of interests. There are 75 or
80 houses of worship in this city. If
you look at the business and the social and fraternal organizations that
are here, it goes back to what we
talked about earlier, people like each
other here. They’re willing to take
risks for each other. You see it when
there’s a crisis, they’re the first people out there to help the families in
crisis. There’s an incredible military
veterans group here and I think that’s
great. They lend an incredible sense
of service, commitment and dignity
to this city. There’s two huge boys
and girls clubs here. There’s a 20somethings sports league here,
there’s a senior’s league here, and
they pretend they can still play softball. But they are great!
And I tell people if you really
want a view about what’s going on in
the city, you go to any ballpark in the
city on a Saturday morning and
you’ll see a United Nations of people
out there and parents are doing what
parents do all around the world,
they’re embarrassing their children.
Sentinel: How would you describe your leadership style?
Robinson: My idea is trying to

find what you want to accomplish,
try to put the right people in the right
place, let them know what the expectations are and then they’ll do their
job. We say, this is our objective, this
is where we want to go and we want
people who are going to take us in
that direction. When you pick up the
phone here, people know they better
be pleasant so that it’s a positive experience because that’s your customer calling you and you treat them
like they’re you’re neighbor.
The day we dedicated this
building, there’s one name that wasn’t mentioned in all of the events in
giving people thanks and appreciation and you know whose name that
was? Mine. I wanted to make sure
that the people who worked hard to
put this project together got acknowledged for what they did.
I want to be surrounded by people who are smarter than I am, people who know what they’re doing
and how to do it. David has assembled an incredible crew. To me the
idea is trying to prevent problems.
We spend some money on PR and
we do some outreach to people.
Sentinel: You talked about your
leadership style and your relationship with the city manager. What do
you think of the manager-council
form of government?
Robinson: I think it works well
for us. I don’t know too much about
other places but I would say what
we’re doing is good. Whether or not
it’s always going to be this way, I
don’t know. As the city grows larger,
I would hope that the elected folks
would look at the successes and
move forward. Right now, I’m comfortable with the function here. Dave
and I have a great (professional) relationship.
If you go to a staff member with
an issue, two things happen: One is
you get me upset and two, I can’t
hold the city manager accountable if
you circle around him and go to a
staff member instead of going to
him. If there’s an emergency, pick up
the phone and tell him what you need
him to do. If it’s public works saying
you got a problem then fine. But
make sure that either the city manager knows or I know as well because
accountability is important. We are
the most transparent organization in
the region. I think we focus on personal accountability. The political
process here we’ve never had a challenge with and we have a strong
ethics committee.
As a matter of fact, I got into a
debate with some people the other
day about money and politics. I think
that all the focus is on the wrong side
of the equation. Right now, all the focus is on people giving up and there’s
some good with that and some challenges with that. If you want to fix a
problem, look on the donor side of
the equation; look at the people who
are receiving them. If you want to
take all of your money and give it to
the county, God bless you. If you
look on the other side with what we
do here, I can’t raise any campaign
funds until after I formally become a
candidate and file as a candidate. The
last Thursday of every month is my
campaign and I have to turn in a written report to the City Clerk with
every dollar raise and every dollar
spent. That goes on our city website.
End of the campaign, everybody has
to zero out your account. There are
no slush funds, there’s no carry
overs. You don’t get into those kinds
of issues.
Part II of a series. Next week, we
conclude our interview with Robinson as we discuss his future plans.

Local restaurant offers unique blend of red-velvet waffles and chicken, among other cuisine
By Alexis A. Goring
Special to the Sentinel
BELTSVILLE—An awardwinning urban café here offers a cozy
ambiance to visitors interested in trying out a unique blend of waffles and
chicken, among other cuisine. Café
Rue, located on Route 1/Baltimore
Avenue is owned by Cole D. Whaley,
an entrepreneur, who says food with
“robust flavors” inspires him.
Whaley first became exposed to
European cuisine during a six-month
long visit with his uncle in Germany
while in ninth grade.
“My uncle while he was in the
military he went to culinary school as
well,” said Whaley. “So eating with
him was like having a gourmet meal
every night. He did a lot of lasagnas
and pot roast. My uncle’s cooking exposed me to a very different style of
cooking from that what I had when I
grew up with my mom in Cleveland,
Ohio.”
Whaley credits his experience in
Germany and later on, his travels to
London and Paris, for giving him an
“appreciation for something different.”
Whaley said he “fell” into the
restaurant industry through cooking
four-course and five-course meals for
his wife and cooking dinner for a mar-
ried couple because the pregnant wife
was on bed rest for six months.
“For 14 weeks straight, I, basically every Sunday, made dinner for
this family. It wasn’t anything they
asked me to do,” said Whaley.
“…fast forward to moving from Seattle to here, my wife was like, ‘Nobody does that. I mean, people will
cook for you if you have a baby we’ll
make you a couple of meals, but consistently doing different things, the
only people who do that the people
who are into food and into cooking
and serving’.”
Whaley was laid off from his job
in Feb. 2012 and his wife saw it as an
opportunity for Whaley to go into the
food industry. Whaley took his wife’s
advice and started a food truck and
went to culinary school.
Whaley then started looking for
restaurant space and found the space
in Beltsville. He spruced up the front
house and opened Café Rue in Feb.
2013.
The name for the restaurant
comes from a neighborhood Whaley
and his wife visited in Paris called
Rue Cler.
“I wanted to name my daughter
Rue, that was my submission and that
kind of got vetoed,” he said. “So when
I opened the restaurant I was like this
is my little baby so I’m going to name
it Rue. Rue means street in
French so it’s a street café. It’s
always better to say Café Rue
but it really should be Rue
Café.”
Since opening Café
Rue, chicken and waffles has
become Whaley’s niche. He
makes red velvet chicken and
waffles from scratch, which
are his most popular menu
item. The classic chicken and
waffles meal at Rue Café
sells for about $12. Details in
presentation at Café Rue are
important to Whaley from the
décor down to the dishes.
“I use a platter because I
wanted everything to be like
on a canvas. So I use this platter because it’s all-white,” he
said. “Everybody gets one of
these and on the plate, we

Charging unit helps build trust between State’s Attorney’s Office and police
By Melanie Balakit
Special to the Sentinel
UPPER MARLBORO – The
accuracy of paperwork filed for arrests has improved since the implementation of a new unit within the
county’s detention center, according
to the Prince George’s County State’s
Attorney Office.
The charging unit is a 24/7 operation that assigns prosecutors from
the State’s Attorney’s office to assist
police officers in filing charging documents, or paperwork for arrests, according to Michael Glynn, the chief
of the unit. In addition to making sure
cases are charged properly, the unit
also strives to ensure cases that
should not be charged are dismissed
and people who should not be in jail
are released.
Before its implementation in
July of this year, prosecutors did not
see charging documents until days after they were finished, according to
Tara Jackson, principal deputy state’s
attorney.
“We want input in the charges,”
said Jackson at a discussion open to
the community. “It’s a chance to dialogue with police officers, review
charges and give advice. It’s a big
change. They’re not used to having
people review paperwork. We want
to help them before it gets to court.”
Before the unit was established,
charging documents did not always
have enough details, Glynn said. The
police are trained to not disclose
much information, Glynn said.
“We’re trying to change that, to
get them to put out why this happened,” Glynn said. “As a state’s attorney, there’s a lot more I want to
know. We want more details.”
The State’s Attorney’s Office
may dismiss a case if for example, it
determines the court would not be
able to win or if a police officer takes
the charges too far, Glynn said.
The unit has handled at least
2,000 cases since starting in July of
this year, according to Glynn, and the
county processes about 47,000 cases
a year.
Last year, a court ruling known
as the “Richmond Decision” gave
criminal defendants who are arrested
a right to counsel at bail hearing. In
response to the court ruling, the
State’s Attorney’s Office wanted a
presence as well.
One disadvantage of the charging unit is longer waiting times for
those sitting in jail, Glynn said.
Before the Richmond decision,
the average wait time for arrestees
ranged between four and five hours.
With the implementation of the Richmond decision, the average wait time
for release is now 17-20 hours, Glynn
said. The wait is longer because there
are now two hearings instead of one the first to determine if the arrestee
will want counsel at the bail hearing,
and the second to determine if they
will be released and return to court at
a later date or remain incarcerated.
“It’s in the best interest of our
communities to not risk having someone who is a threat be released,” said
Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks.
Police have welcomed the guidance of the charging unit, Alsobrooks
said. “Officers are relieved to have us
there,” she said. “We have shortened
time for filing charging documents
for officers.”
The interaction between the Department of Corrections and State’s
Attorney office has multiplied in efficiency, Glynn said.
Ultimately, the charging unit is a
trust-building exercise between the
police and the State’s Attorney’s Office, Alsobrooks said. “We’ve built
trust with the police department,” she
said.

Riverdale Baptist cruises past Perry St. Prep 46-8
By Ted Black
Sentinel Sports
UPPER MARLBORO – In a
rematch of last year's Capital Athletic Conference Championship
football game, Riverdale Baptist
High School showed no signs of
wanting to relinquish the crown Friday as the team cruised to a 46-8
victory over visiting Perry Street
Prep in front of nearly 800 on homecoming day.
Riverdale Baptist (5-1) has
won five straight games since
falling in the season opener.
Riverdale Baptist executed well on
offense and defense, with the Perry
Street’s lone touchdown occurring
on a 93-yard kickoff return in the
second quarter. But instead of providing a spark for the visitors, it
rekindled the intensity for the host
Crusaders.
“I thought we really did some
good things on both sides of the
ball," said Riverdale Baptist head
coach Caesar Nettles III. “Our defense has only allowed seven points
over the last three weeks. We were
able to run the ball and we made
some big plays down the field. It's a
misconception that teams that run
spread formations can't be physical.
We 're still able to run the ball effectively out of spread formations. Now
we're looking forward to the bye
week and then taking on Avalon."
On its first possession,
Riverdale Baptist used a mix of runs
and passes before senior quarterback
Amir Hall connected with senior
wide receiver Deron Smith on a 18yard scoring as the team went up 7-0.
Perry Street responded with a
10-play, 50-yard drive that lasted
more than six minutes, but the Pride
came away empty and the Crusaders
responded. Riverdale Baptist needed
only four plays to go 52 yards, with
Hall connecting with senior Jaison
Young on a 37-yard scoring strike to
go up 14-0 lead with 14 seconds left
in the first quarter.
Perry Street fumbled on the last
play of the first quarter and
Riverdale added to its lead with 30yard field goal with eight minutes
remaining in the half.
The Pride countered by return-
ing the ensuing kickoff 93 yards for
a touchdown, adding the two-point
conversion for good measure to get
within 17-8, but the visitors' momentum never reached the intermission since Smith returned the ensuing kickoff to the Pride's 29-yard
yard-line.
Given the short field, Riverdale
Baptist wasted little time adding to
its lead. The Crusaders responded
with a touchdown pass from Hall to
Zech McPhearson for 10 yards to
stretch the lead to 24-8.
Riverdale then benefited from
a series of miscues, tackling the Perry Street punter in the end zone for a
safety and a 26-8 lead. The Crusaders found the end zone again
when Hall hit Smith on a 38-yard
scoring strike.
The Crusaders padded their
lead with a touchdown catch by
Jalen Hill for 41 yards and another
35-yard catch by Smith, who finished the game with three touchdown catches.
Perry Street, led by coach Eric
Knight, is in its last year of existence. Knight said the pending closure has impacted the Pride's roster.
"Last year we had 45 guys and
a lot of returners," Knight said. "But
this year I only have 27 players. A
lot of guys decided not to come
back, especially the juniors and
sophomores. It's not what I expected. We definitely should have
played better tonight. But we have
some guys playing three ways."
McNamara's girl kicker playing with the boys
By Charles Abankwa
Sentinel Sports
FORESTVILLE – Attend a
Bishop McNamara High School
football game and you will find an
unlikely player taking the field for
the Mustangs.
Junior Nicole Yeargin, the starting kicker for Bishop McNamara’s
varsity football team, is the first girl
player to ever make the team. For
Nicole, who also plays on the girls’
varsity soccer team, the opportunity
to play football has always been
something she wanted to do.
“Actually freshmen year I
thought it would be really interesting
for a girl to be on the football team,”
Yeargin said. “So now that being on
the football team is pretty cool for
me.”
The 5-foot-7 junior’s friends
describe Yeargin as someone who
“really likes working out” In fact,
football coach Keith Goganious said
he first spotted Nicole in the weight
room.
“I was watching her work out
during the summer and she was al-
ways in the weight room,” Goganious said. “She was a gym rat. She
was in the weight room four times a
week – lifting and conditioning and I
just saw a certain drive in her eye. I
knew she played soccer and I
thought it might be a perfect fit for a
soccer player and that soccer style
kicking that she might be able to do
it.”
In the weight room Yeargin
dead-lifts more than 300 pounds and
squats 225 pounds.
According to the National Federation of State High Schools Associations 1,715 girls across the nation
participated on football teams during the 2013-14 year. However, girls
made up less than 1 percent of the
more than one million students who
played football last year.
As the only girl playing in the
Washington Catholic Athletic Conference, one of the top conferences
in the country, Yeargin said she feels
pressure to perform well, but she has
worked hard to ensure success.
“My dad basically prepared me
for the football team,” Yeargin said.
“He said you can’t just sit there and
cry about it if you miss a kick.
You’ve got to be tough and can’t
miss field goals, do your best or they
will be mad at you.”
Yeargin also said she has a
unique way of surprising people
who watch her play.
“I like to keep my helmet on
sometimes just so people don’t
know that I’m girl,” she said. “At the
end I will take it off and they’ll be
like, ‘Oh that’s girl,’ and that’s pretty
fun.”
Yeargin said she realizes she
may be an easy target for opponents
to come after, but she uses that as
motivation to perform to the best of
her abilities.
“I heard a lot of the comments
like, ‘You’re going be put on your
butt,’ or, ‘I’ll tackle you really
hard,’” she said. “It definitely motivates me a lot, I’m a good kicker. I
try my hardest whether you like it or
not, no matter what you have to say
about it.”
This season, Yeargin has made
field goals as long as 35 yards, but
she said one of her goals is to consistently hit on kicks from 40 yards out.

Nicole Yeargin, above, is the first female football player in Bishop
McNamara history.
She also wants to go perfect on extra
points.
Yeargin said she would love to
continue her football career in college after she graduates from Bishop
McNamara, but she needs to hone

her skills a little more.
“I actually really want to do that
like, really bad,” Yeargin said.
“Chances are slim and I would have
to be really good to consider it, but
I’m getting there.”

Minimum wage goes up in Prince George’s
By Michael Sykes
Special to the Sentinel
Legislation raising the minimum wage in Prince George’s
County took effect Wednesday,
giving workers more incentive to
peel themselves out of bed for the
day ahead.
Prince George’s County,
along with Montgomery County
and the District of Columbia,
passed legislation last year to
raise the minimum wage to
$11.50 per hour by 2017. On
Wednesday, the wage increased
from $7.25 per hour to $8.40.
According to the legislation,
the wage will increase again to
$9.55 in 2015; $10.75 in 2016;
and $11.50 in 2017.
“The Prince George’s County
Council is committed to improving the quality of life of every resident and today marks a significant step in that direction,” said
Mel Franklin, chairman of the
Prince George’s County Council.
“The previous minimum wage of
$7.25 had not been raised since
2009 and something needed to be
done to secure a living wage for
our residents.”
Franklin said the legislation
will help build the county’s economy.
Marc Elrich, a Montgomery
County councilman, helped facilitate the collaboration between
the neighboring counties. The
collaboration, he said, will prevent businesses from avoiding
certain jurisdictions to avoid paying higher wages.
“The three of us share common borders. One street runs
from one jurisdiction to another,”
Elrich said. “So we felt that we
should make it so that can’t happen and they couldn’t cherry-pick
between Montgomery, Prince
George’s and the District.”
Elrich said the impact of the
increased wages will be “enormous” for residents in all three jurisdictions. “Raising it to $8.40
means that somebody making the
current minimum wage is going
to be making about $45 more a
week or $180 a month,” Elrich
said. “That’s not an insignificant
amount of money to people.”
Increasing the minimum
wage, Elrich said, helps the economy because it puts more money
in the hands of people who then
spend it on local businesses.
“That should have a positive
effect, overall, on the economy,”
Elrich said. “You’re going to see
more consumption. More buying
of food and more buying of
clothes.”
The minimum wage requirements do not apply to employees
who are exempt from the require-

Ebola case at Howard University turns out to be measles
By Donna Broadway
Staff writer
WASHINGTON, D.C.-Officials from Howard University said
Friday afternoon they quarantined a
patient with Ebola-like symptoms
at the university’s hospital, but the
patient ended up being diagnosed
with measles.
"Ebola has very clear symptoms that inevitably worsen over
time, inclusive of fever, bleeding
from the eyes and a growing rash
that consumes over 75 percent of
the human body. Based on the clinical presentation of the patient, the
medical team was able to rule out
Ebola, the patient will be treated for
other illnesses," said Dr. Joxel Garcia director, D.C. Department of
Health. "The District of Columbia
has one of the best disease surveillance and epidemiologist teams in
the country, I am confident in our
ability keep District residents safe."
According to Kerry-Ann
Hamilton, spokeswoman for
Howard University, the university
hospital admitted a patient in stable
condition Friday, following travel
to Nigeria who had symptoms that
could be associated with Ebola.
“In an abundance of caution,
we have activated the appropriate
infection control protocols, including isolating the patient. Our medical team continues to evaluate and
monitor progress in close collaboration with the CDC and the Department of Health,” Hamilton said
at the time.
She declined to give specific
details about the patient but said the
university would provide updates
as they become available.
There are no confirmed cases
of Ebola in the district, according to
the D.C. Department of Health.

Police make arrest in Bowie homicide
By Jim Davis
Special to the Sentinel
BOWIE – Prince George's
County police arrested 19-yearold Deon Eugene Warren
Wednesday evening for allegedly
killing a 39-year-old city resident
Tuesday evening outside of a local swim club.
According to Capt. Jimmy

and another teenager.
Bowie City police and county police responded to the incident shortly after 5:30 p.m.,
Smith said. Upon arrival, paramedics located Warren, who suffered a single gunshot his upper
body, and pronounced him dead
at the scene.
“Through interviews and

for his arrest,” Smith said.
The Prince George's County

him with first-degree murder.
“We're still trying to determine what the cause of the dispute was between White's son and
the other individual,” said Bowie
Police Chief John Nesky.
Nesky said the homicide is
the first in the city since October
2012.

Prince Georgians must oppose extending term limits
To the editor,
Extending term limits in Prince George’s County will not remedy the problem of retaining “good leaders” as
some would suggest – namely incumbents; in fact, it will produce the opposite. In order to have a robust debate on
this topic, we must begin with one of the basic truths of electoral politics: power corrupts. And because all men (and
women) are susceptible to corruption, one of the more reasonable measures by which to secure the integrity of the democratic process has been to establish (and maintain) tight term limits. The theory being, that frequent elections will
result in a frequent rotation of elected officials, thus reducing the probability of corruption. The alternative, however,
would be to have elected officials serve an indeterminate number of terms to be decided, theoretically, by the “informed voter.” But the crude political reality is that voters are subjected to the persuasive communication of elected
officials, who themselves are co-opted by special interests. Thus, term limits are necessity for they serve as: 1) a stoppage to political careerism; and 2) a fail-safe mechanism against the capriciousness of voters.
Arguably, one of the biggest distortions of the political truth is that elected officials seek to remain in office in order to continue the work on behalf of their constituency. In reality, the elected official is a self-interested political being. Having been elected and now running for re-election, the incumbent creates a narrative of the “good leader”
predicated on a few public projects. In turn, the voter, partial to abstract conclusions, distorts reality in order to justify their logic in support of this narrative. In the end, we tend to vote for the “narrative” rather than the individual.
Without term limits we will do this over and over again – or in the case of Prince George’s County, three times, at four
years per term. And in doing so, do we deny to ourselves the real result of political careerism: the longer an elected
official is in power the more detached they are from their constituency and more beholden to special interests.
So, in order to protect the capricious voter against the careerism of politicians we have imposed term limits. Relaxing – or extending – term limits will further aid in perverting an already precarious electoral system. This is what
I gather was Shabnam Ahmed’s central premise of “Don’t extend term limits in Prince George’s County.” While there
may be a very small number of elected officials throughout the recent history of Prince George’s County who have
been responsible with power and true to the views of their constituency, such extreme cases must not be the basis on
which Prince Georgians should support extending term limits. The interest of the Prince Georgian voter is to steadfastly oppose any attempts to extend term limits. Anything short of that and we would have further muddied our own
political waters.

Bowie hoping for reform of land use laws
By Alexis A. Goring
Special to the Sentinel
BOWIE— At their meeting
Monday, the mayor and city council
discussed new state land use legislation that could promote transparency and help simplify the development process.
According to a memorandum
from City Manager David Deutsch,
the city is requesting two local bills
to the Prince George’s County
House Delegation in the General
Assembly. One bill would reform
the county’s planning process,
while the other bill would give municipalities more say regarding zoning authority.
“The council’s been involved
for over two decades in trying to obtain additional authority over land
use decisions that are now made at
the county level,” said Bowie City
Manager David Deutsch.
According to the memo, the
first bill would allow municipalities
to create their own planning boards,
which would be allowed to assume
the role of the county planning
board for master plan preparation,
zoning review, site plan and subdivision approval as well as street
name and house numbering. The
bill also allows the municipal planning board can assume the role of
the county board of Appeals for
hearing and deciding variances.
According to Deutsch, the legislation has not yet been drafted. It
will be drafted in the next several
weeks then be heard before the
Prince George’s County House Delegation in early December. The bill
then would go before the General
Assembly next spring.
“If it passes and is signed by
the governor, effective dates are
May, June or July of the next year,”
said Deutsch. “So there are just too
many unknowns to be able to address timing questions.”
If passed, the legislation would
provide the opportunity for development applicants and interested
residents to go to Bowie City Hall
for the entire process rather than attend a county council meeting. According to Deutsch, people are often
not able to participate at the county
level because while decisions are
made publically, the council meets
during the day which makes it harder for people to attend.
“We think (the legislation) will
promote transparency. We believe it
can expedite the process. The county process is very complicated,”
Deutsch said. “It’s relatively slow
because of the volume and the nature of things.”
According to Deutsch and City
Councilman Dennis Brady, the city
has been trying to get land use laws
reformed for two decades.

EPA program helping to create the
next generation of environmentalists
By Melanie Balakit
Special to the Sentinel
RIVERDALE PARK – With
clipboards in hand, a group of fourth
grade students walked around their
playground at Riverdale Elementary School. But it was not time for
recess. Instead, the students graded
their playground on how effectively
it collects stormwater after learning
in class that excess stormwater is
bad for nearby bodies of water.
“We need to identify where
stormwater runs off,” said Shawn
Garvin, a regional administrator for
the Environmental Protection
Agency who visited the class.
Garvin pointed to the basketball courts, explaining to the students basketball courts are impervious surfaces which do not absorb
stormwater.
“We want more surfaces where
water can soak in,” Garvin said.
“Like grass?” a student asked.
“Exactly,” Garvin said to the
student.
While assessing the playground, students noticed trash and
signs of erosion. In the end, the students gave their playground a score
of 58/100, a high D.
The afternoon’s outdoor activity was one part of a new watershed
education program run by the Anacostia Watershed Society. The Environmental Protection Agency recently awarded $35,000 to the Anacostia Watershed Society to
establish the “Stream Stewards”
program at Riverdale Elementary
and University Park Elementary. A
total of 400 students in grades 4-6
from the two schools will participate in the program.
“Our goal is to develop a
greater appreciation among our
young people for the need to protect
our waters, particularly in this case,
the Anacostia River,” Garvin said.
Riverdale Elementary is a few
minutes’ walk from the Anacostia
River. According to Chris Lemieux,
an environmental educator for the

Children from Riverdale Elementary School assess how well their schoolʼs
playgrounds collect stormwater as part of an EPA program to teach
children about the environment.
Anacostia Watershed Society, the
nearly nine-mile long river collections stormwater from Prince
George’s County, Montgomery
county and Washington, D.C. The
river’s proximity to urban areas,
Lemieux said, makes it susceptible
to the buildup of trash and sedimentation.
“The Anacostia River is very
fast and shallow, so it’s more impacted by trash,” Garvin said.
Educating the youth about environmental stewardship is more
than just raising awareness,
Lemieux said, it is about making a
cultural change.
“Hopefully in one, five, 10
years from now, they’ll remember
this experience,” Lemieux said.
Tracy Putzel-Bischoff, a fourth
grade teacher at Riverdale Elementary, said the program allows students to use what they learned in the
classroom in a real-world experience.
“They learn about things like
the water cycle and erosion in
class,” Putzel-Bischoff said. “But
it’s something they don’t have a
connection with until they’re outside and seeing it.”
The “Stream Stewards” program provides hands-on instruction
for students. Activities include a
field study of the river and the implementation of conversation
strategies. The field study involves
a boat trip to the river, where students will collect native plant seeds
along the Anacostia Riverwalk
Trail. Students also install rain barrels and create rain gardens at their
schools to help collect excess
stormwater.
Near the end of the activity,
Garvin taught the students about
the negative impacts of pollution on
the environment.
“Pollution that runs off into the
river hurts fish and drinking water,”
Garvin said.
At one point, a student asked
Garvin if his job is the one he wanted as a child. Garvin responded by
explaining to the student that his
job did not even exist when he was
a child.
“You guys are students, but
you’re really teachers,” Garvin
said. “You can teach people about
the environment. You’re the next
generation of environmentalists.
You’re the leaders now.”

Newly-renovated Beltsville library reopens
By Jessica Stein
Special to the Sentinel
HYATTSVILLE – As the
Beltsville branch of the Prince
George's County Memorial Library
System opened its doors Monday
morning after 10 months of renovations, residents of all ages filed inside, eager to see the revamped library.
"Welcome back! So good to see
you! Come on in!" a librarian called
out, holding open the front door and
ushering people inside.
Some people were drawn
straight to the rows of sleek, brand
new computers. Others began to
wander the winding aisles of books,
DVDs and magazines. A few went
right to the front desk, anxious to reunite with old friends. Ruth McKeown, a Beltsville resident and 24year library regular, handed a box of
Dunkin Donuts munchkins to a
cluster of librarians behind the front
desk.
"Are you all happy to be back?"
she asked. The librarians responded
with a unanimous chorus of "Yes!"
After 10 months working at
other branches in the library system
during renovations, the librarians
were overjoyed to return. “It’s great
to finally be back,” said Nancy
Love, of Laurel, who has worked at
the Beltsville location for nine
years.
"This is more homey," she said
of the renovated facility. "It's fun
seeing our regular customers. We're
like a family here."
The new and improved library
now includes an enriched children's
area, 43 public computers, wireless
laptop spots, a public fax machine,
six private study rooms, a quiet
study room, a conference room, a
meeting room kitchenette and a café
stocked with vending machines.
Officials planned the renovation after the library received county
and state capital grants to refresh the
building, said Kathleen Teaze, director of the Prince George's County
Memorial Library System.
"Libraries that opened 20 years
ago aren't up to date for the 21st
century," she said.
Chrissy McGirt of Beltsville
agreed the library has come a long
way over the years. McGirt remembers getting her books from the
book mobile years ago, a van that
housed a small selection of books
for residents to peruse and check
out.
"I've been waiting and waiting
and waiting and waiting…checking
the Beltsville news every day to see
when this would reopen," she said.
McGirt said she will probably
stop by once every other week or so
to pick up books, magazines and
DVDs about crafting and beading.
Residents voice concerns to county officials
By Melanie Balakit
Special to the Sentinel
HYATTSVILLE – Residents
voiced their concerns in front of
County Executive Rushern Baker
and other county officials at the first
of three legislative listening sessions last Tuesday.
Residents spoke about a wide
range of issues, including concerns
about public education, economic
development, transportation, safety
and other issues. The county will
consider residential input as it develops legislation to be proposed at
the Maryland General Assembly
legislative session beginning in January 2015. Nineteen residents spoke
and more than 55 people attended
the event.
Regarding education, Robert
Adams, president of the ParentTeacher-Student Association at
Capitol Heights Elementary School,
said he would like to see schools
foster more parent involvement, especially when it comes to the new
Common Core standards. Melinda
Moore of University Park said the
county should work on improving
the implementation of the school
district’s talented and gifted students program in classrooms.
Darla Hines, a teacher at
Northwestern High School, said the
school district’s recent decision to
reduce the number of printers in
schools by about half is a huge inconvenience for teachers.
“If you want kids to succeed,
give us back our printers!” Hines
said.
Kathy Galleher of Riverdale
Park focused on housing issues. She
said the county should work to
maintain or provide low-income
housing for residents near the development of the Purple Line.
“People work very hard, but
earn very little,” Galleher said.
Cris Melendez of Bladensburg
also said affordable housing should
be a priority in the county.
“The focus should be on sustainable communities and family
businesses,” Melendez said.
Robin Allen of Chillum, said
she would like the county to use license plate readers to identify stolen
vehicles.
“There are cars constantly
coming in and out of the county,”
Allen said. “When cars are stolen,
citizens can’t go to work.”
Virginia Lockmiller spoke
about concerns she has regarding
the economic development of
Bladensburg. She said she wants to
see more businesses come to the
city.
“The only stores we can get
here are 7-11’s,” Lockmiller said.
“Bladensburg is a forgotten town.”
Lockmiller also said there
should be beautification efforts in
Bladensburg, such as putting plans
in the medians of highways to make
the scenery more attractive.
The remaining listening sessions will take place on Oct. 9 at
Oxon Hill High School and Oct. 16
at Charles Flowers High School
from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

CHARTER AMENDMENT
AN ACT concerning
Amendment of Sections 317, 809, 1008, and 1105,
Charter of Prince George's County
For the purpose of proposing amendments to Sections 317, 809,
1008, and 1105 of the Charter of Prince George's County to
change the number of designated newspapers of record from
three to one or more; and to designate two or more primary
sources of County maintained electronic media available to the
public for publication and transmission of official County
notices.
BY proposing an amendment to:
Section 317, 809, 1008, and 1105,
Charter of Prince George's County, Maryland.
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED by the County
Council of Prince George's County, Maryland, that the following
amendment to Section 317, 809, 1008, and 1105, Charter of
Prince George's County, Maryland, is hereby proposed:
Section 317. Enactment of Legislation.
Every law of the County shall be styled: "Be it enacted
by the County Council of Prince George's County, Maryland."
The Council shall enact no law except by bill. The subject of
every law shall be described in its title. Every law enacted by the
Council, except the budget law and supplementary appropriation
laws, shall embrace but one subject. No law or section of law
shall be revived or amended by reference to its title only. A bill
may be introduced by any member of the Council on any
legislative session-day of the Council. On the introduction of any
bill, a copy thereof and notice of the time and place of the public
hearing on the bill shall be posted by the Clerk of the Council
within ten days on an official bulletin board to be set up by the
Council in a public place and by any other such methods as the
Council shall dictate. Additional copies of the bill shall be made
available to the public and to the press. Every copy of each bill
shall bear the name of the member of the Council introducing it
and the date it was introduced. Within ten days following the
introduction of a bill the Clerk of the Council shall schedule and
give public notice of a public hearing on the bill, which hearing
shall not be less than fourteen days after its introduction. The
Council may reject any bill on its introduction without a hearing
by a majority vote of the members of the full Council. Such
E-19
PUBLIC NOTICE
public notice shall be published in the County newspapers of
record and in media for public notice as defined in Section 1008
of this Charter. The public hearing may, but need not be, held on
a legislative session-day and may be adjourned from time to time.
After the public hearing, a bill may be finally enacted on a
legislative session-day with or without amendment, except, that if
a bill is amended before enactment and the amendment
constitutes a change of substance, the bill shall not be enacted
until it is reprinted or reproduced as amended and a public
hearing shall be set thereon and proceedings had, as in the case of
a newly introduced bill. Any bill not enacted by the last day of
November of each year shall be considered to have failed. To
meet a public emergency affecting the public health, safety, or
welfare, the County may enact emergency bills.
Every
emergency bill shall be plainly designated as such and shall
contain, after the enacting clause, a declaration stating that an
emergency exists and describing the claimed emergency in clear
and specific terms. The term "emergency bill" shall not include
any measure creating or abolishing any office; changing the
compensation, term, or duty of any officer; granting any franchise
or special privilege; or creating any vested right or interest. No
bill shall be enacted except by the affirmative vote of a majority
of the full Council. No emergency bill shall be enacted except by
an affirmative vote of two-thirds of the members of the full
Council. In the event of an emergency declared by the Governor
pursuant to provisions of State law, which emergency affects any
part or all of Prince George's County, the Council may provide,
by law, for modification of voting, quorum, and publication
requirements consistent with State law, for matters relating to and
necessary to respond to the emergency.
Section 809. Public Budget Hearings and Action on the
Budget by the Council.
Upon receipt of the proposed County budget, the Clerk
of the Council shall cause to be published a notice of the place
and time of at least two public hearings on the budget by the
Council. Such public notice shall be published in the County
newspapers of record and in media for public notice as defined in
Section 1008 of this Charter. The Council may hold such other
preliminary hearings on the budget for the purpose of obtaining
information as it may determine, but no action shall be taken by
the Council on the budget except in public session. After the
final public budget hearing, the Council may not add new items
but may increase, decrease, or delete any items in the budget
except those required by the laws of this State or of this County,
and except any provisions for debt service on obligations then
outstanding or for estimated cash deficits. The Council shall
have no power to change the form of the budget as submitted by
the Executive or to alter the revenue estimates except to correct
mathematical errors, or, by a vote of two-thirds of the members
of the full County Council, adjust the revenue estimates by an
increase or decrease of no more than one percent (1%). The
adoption of the operating budget, the capital budget and the
capital program shall be by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the full Council by a law to be known as the Annual
Budget and Appropriation Ordinance of Prince George's County.
The Annual Budget and Appropriation Ordinance shall be
adopted by the Council on or before June 1 of each fiscal year,
and if the Council fails to do so, the proposed operating budget
submitted by the County Executive shall stand adopted, and
funds for the expenditures proposed in the current expense
budget shall stand appropriated as fully and to the same extent as
if favorable action thereon had been taken by the Council.
Section 1008. Newspapers of Record.
The Council shall designate [three] one or more County

in the new newspaper if circulation is continued to the previous
subscribers, unless the designation is declined by the paper.
Where the circulation of a newspaper of record is not continued,
or the designation is declined, for any reason, the County Council
may designate another newspaper of record without public notice
for a temporary or permanent period.
Section 1105. Charter Amendment.
Amendments to this Charter may be proposed by an act
of the Council approved by not less than two-thirds of the
members of the full Council, and such action shall be exempt
from executive veto. Amendments may also be proposed by
petition filed with the County Executive and signed by 10,000
registered voters of the County. When so proposed, whether by
act of the Council or by petition, the question shall be submitted

SPORTS
Ohio State clobbers Maryland 52-24
By Michael Sykes
Sentinel Sports
COLLEGE PARK – The
Ohio State Buckeyes ruined the
Maryland Terrapins’ Big Ten Conference home opener with a 52-24
win Saturday.
The Terrapins were unable to
execute their game plan head
coach Randy Edsall said, and they
never really caught up with the
Buckeyes.
“The things that we saw today, we felt that they (Ohio State)
would do,” Edsall said. “I thought
we adjusted to those things. But
again, we just didn’t execute well
enough.”
Edsall said Ohio State deserves credit for being a very good
team and executing its game plan.
Ohio State, he said, sets a benchmark for Maryland and helps the
team know where it stands in the
Big Ten.
“If we want to win the eastern
division of the Big Ten, we have
to go through some of these other
places,” Edsall said.
It did not look like the Terrapins were very close to competing
with the Buckeyes.
Offensively, the Terrapins
had four turnovers between its
two quarterbacks playing in the
game. Before the game started,
questions about C.J. Brown arose
because of a wrist injury. Brown
ended up starting the game, but he
did not finish it. After Brown
threw an interception on a possession before halftime where the
Terrapins could have cut the lead
from 24-10 down to 24-17, Brown
did not see the field again. Ohio
State capitalized off of the
turnover and increased its lead to
31-10.
Caleb Rowe started the second half at quarterback and finished the game, but Edsall said
Brown is still the Terrapins’ quarterback going forward.
“I just felt in that situation,
we ended up going in a two
minute situation and we’ve
worked on those things. The
young man (Brown) made a poor
decision. Things like that happen
in football,” Edsall said.
Rowe did not perform much
better. He led two touchdown drives and threw a touchdown pass,
but he also finished the game with
three interceptions.
Edsall said he is confident in
both of his quarterbacks and he
believes both of them can win
games, but the quarterbacks need
to improve their decision making.
“(Rowe) went in there and
worked to do the things we asked
him to do,” Edsall said. “He did
some of those things and then
there were some other times he
made some poor decisions.”
Rowe said he does not know
what to expect in the future as far
as his playing time goes.
“I’m never surprised. I’ve
gone through it before,” Rowe

Maryland quarterback C.J. Brown had a tough go of it Saturday against the Ohio State Buckeyes. Brown passed
for 71 yards and an interception and did not play in the second half.
said. “You’ve just got to be ready
like coach preaches all the time.
We’ve just got to get better.
They’re very good. We’ve just got
to execute better.”
Andre Monroe, a defensive
lineman, said Ohio State did not
do anything the Terrapins had not
seen on film already. Rather, Ohio
State just played better.
“I think we had the game
plan, and it came down to execution, and I think that’s the story of
the day,” Monroe said. “When
you play good teams and you
make mistakes, they’re going to
capitalize. That’s what makes a
good team a good team.”
Monroe said the team came
into the matchup treating the
game just as any other, and he is
disappointed the Terrapins could
not come out on top.
“All of us came into the game
as this is just another game on our
schedule that we need to handle,”
Monroe said. “Don’t treat it any
differently. Stick to the game plan
and try to go out there and execute.”
As far as the quarterback situation going forward, Rowe said he
is not going to put additional pressure on himself if his number is
called again.
“Whatever coach decides is
the decision we’re going to go
with,” Rowe said. “I don’t have
any expectations.”
Bishop McNamara picks up second win against Archbishop Carroll
By Charles Abankwa
Sentinel Sports
FORESTVILLE – The Bishop
McNamara Mustangs defeated the
Archbishop Carroll Lions 20-14 on
homecoming Saturday for their second win of the season.
For much of the game, it
seemed like it was anyone’s ballgame as both teams went scoreless
in the first half. Neither team could
muster up one drive into the red zone
during the half. The Lions moved
the ball down field until they were
stopped at the 16-yard line after failing to convert on fourth down.
As the second half began, the
Mustangs stepped up their game, finally putting some points on the
board.
“We just picked it up,” said McNamara junior wideout Brian
Thompson. “The coaches came in
and said we needed to do better, and
we did better. We started slow, but
we finished fast.”
Less than a minute into the second half the Mustangs got on the
board when junior quarterback Ramar Williams connected with Camari Murray for a 69-yard touchdown catch to put the Mustangs up
6-0. Not only did the pass put the
Mustangs up, the pass also gave
Williams more than 5,000 passing
yards for his career at McNamara.
“It wasn’t even on my mind
coming into this game,” Williams
said. “I just wanted to come out here
and play football with my brothers.”
Williams threw his second
touchdown of the day to Alfonso
Banks IV on a 52-yard pass that put
the Mustangs up 14-0 and seemingly
headed to an easy victory.
The Lions, however, did not go
down without a fight. Following the
Mustangs’ second scoring drive, the
Lions put together a scoring drive of
their own, ending with a 13-yard
catch by Elijah Bilal.
However, Williams refused to
allow his team to lose. On second
and three Williams aired the ball out
to Brian Thompson for an 80-yard
touchdown to put the Mustangs up
20-8 and seal the victory.
For the Mustangs, the win is
their second in front of their home
crowd. The team’s upcoming schedule is a tough one as they face Washington Catholic Athletic Conference
powers Good Counsel and DeMatha
on the road.

SPRINGDALE – The Charles
H. Flowers High School Jaguars
did not throw the ball often Friday
afternoon in their 32-28 victory
over the Oxon Hill Clippers, but
when they did it led to their biggest
plays of the day.
Down by four points with less
than two minutes in the game,
Flowers head coach Michael Mayo
inserted backup quarterback Brian
Brown, who rewarded his coach by
leading his team on a game-winning drive which ended with a 30yard touchdown pass.
“I’m just trying to win my spot
back,” Brown said. “I was just trying to do whatever this team needed me to do to get this win.”
While Brown came in relief,
Jose Holloway started had a pretty
successful day himself.
After Oxon Hill (1-4) took an
early 7-0 lead on a 35-yard touchdown pass from Anthony Dougherty Jr. to Alonte Anderson, Holloway and his Flowers (3-2) teammates
responded
with
a
ground-heavy attack resulting in an
11-yard touchdown by Holloway.
After a two-point conversion the
Jaguars led 8-7.
In a back-and-forth affair, the
Clippers scored again on a 15-yard
field goal at the beginning of the
second quarter taking a 10-8 lead.
But again the Jaguars responded,
matching Clippers scoring drive
with an eight-play, 65-yard drive
that took four minutes off the clock
and ended with a 23-yard rushing
touchdown by Maurice Wright that
gave the Jaguars a 16-10 lead following another two-point conversion.
With five minutes remaining
in the half, the Clippers tied the
game going into halftime after Jeremy Fields scored on a seven-yard
rushing touchdown to knot the
score at 16-16.
With the two teams going into
halftime it was anyone’s game to
win and the second half would go
down to the very last second.
The Clippers continued
putting points on the board in the
second half. It took just four plays
for the Clippers to drive down field
and score a touchdown—a 16-yard
scamper by Anthony Dougherty Jr.
The Jaguars regained the lead
on their next drive, taking seven
minutes off the clock and ending
the drive with a four-yard touchdown run by Maurice Wright.
Flowers would go up 24-22 on the
ensuing two point conversion.
As the fourth quarter began
both teams would drive up and
down the field but neither team was
able to finish a drive. With just over
five minutes remaining in the
fourth quarter, the Clippers finally
scored on what appeared to a
game-winning drive.
Behind Fields, the Clippers
took the lead on a 16-yard touchdown run to cap off a 60-yard drive. With just over 90 seconds left
on clock and the length of the field
to go, the Jaguars seemed to be left
for dead. But instead, they would
finally put together their passing
game.
Starting at their 35-yard line,
Mayo would put Brown into the
game. In two plays, Brown led the
Jaguars the length of the field and
took a 32-28 on a 30-yard pass to
Edward Anderson with 51 seconds
left in the game.
The Clippers made one last effort to win the game, driving down
to the Jaguars’ seven-yard line with
nine seconds left in the game.
Dougherty Jr. threw a pass to
Davon Gaskins, who made the
catch but had the balled knocked
out of his hands on a big hit by
Flowers defensive back Jamal Higgs. With three seconds left in the
game Dougherty Jr. tried one last
attempt to score a touchdown but
that attempt came up short as he
threw the ball outside the back of
the end zone as time expired.

DeMatha falls to Good Counsel
By Brandy L. Simms
Sentinel Sports
OLNEY – Good Counsel
sophomore Mohamed Ibrahim certainly picked a good night to have
the best performance of his young
career.
Ibrahim rushed for a careerhigh 191 yards on 25 carries Friday
night to lead the Falcons to a 21-14
home win over DeMatha at Kline
Stadium.
“The blocking up front was a
big key to this [win],” said Ibrahim,
a Baltimore native who scored on a
35-yard run in the second quarter,
dragging a DeMatha defender with
him into the end zone.
Despite the absence of
Jonathon Lee, who rushed for 162
yards in Good Counsel’s 17-7 win
over Gonzaga, the Falcons received
a strong performance from Ibrahim.
“They always use me as a side
player,” said Ibrahim, who also
scored on a 6-yard run in the second quarter, “but this is my first
time starting so I just took advantage of it.”
DeMatha rallied from a 14-6
halftime deficit thanks to the running of senior tailback and Maryland pledge Lorenzo Harrison who
scored on a 2-yard run with 4:23 remaining in the third quarter. The
Stags added the two-point conversion on a pass from Beau English to
Anthony McFarland to tie the game
at 14-14.
However, late in the fourth
quarter, Good Counsel junior Andres Castillo scored on a 1-yard
quarterback sneak with 35 seconds
left in the period to seal the win for
the Falcons.
Harrison rushed for a teamhigh 110 yards on 21 carries despite Good Counsel’s stout defensive effort.

Surrattsville beats Fairmont Heights in OT
By Michael Sykes
Sentinel Sports
CLINTON – Surrattsville
High School came up with big
plays when it had to on its way to
beating Fairmont Heights 22-14 in
overtime in a battle of the Hornets
for the IA North division lead.
Surrattsville started the game
off with a bang, getting a long return from wideout Gary Brown
from down to the Fairmont
Heights two-yard line. Senior running back Amaru Major, coming
off a 200-yard performance in his
previous game, punched it in for
the game’s first score to put his
team up 8-0 following a two-point
conversion.
However, Surrattsville could
not conjure up any more offense in
the first half. The team turned the
ball over on downs late in the second quarter after failing to convert
a fourth down play. Fairmont
Heights responded by tying the
game up on its ensuing drive.
Surrattsville beat itself
throughout the game, piling up 10
penalties for 90 yards and turning
the ball over twice.
“It was a rough, tight, grimy
dirty game for various reasons,”
said head coach Robert Harris.
“We’ve had a tremendous outpouring of sickness. We’ve been playing half-loaded these last couple of
weeks.”
Without many of his key players, Harris said, the game turned
out to be sloppier than he would
have liked.
“Sometimes, we do that. That’s
why I say sometimes, it’s better to
be lucky than good,” Harris said.
“Today, I feel like we were blessed
to be a little luckier than Fairmont.
Football is like a roller coaster—I
teach the kids that. And it’s like life.
You’re going to have highs and
you’re going to have lows. You
have to know how to maintain
through those events.”
Surrattsville continued to
struggle in the second half. Fairmont Heights running back Christian Paylay ran for a 60-yard touch-
down to give his team a 14-8 lead.
Later in the quarter, as Surrattsville
attempted to drive up the field to
score, quarterback Robert Harris
III, threw an interception to kill the
drive.
Finally, with five minutes left
in the fourth quarter, Surrattsville
made its comeback. Major ran
through three defenders on his way
to the end zone. Major’s knee barely missed the ground before a defender knocked him back on balance and he continued to run
through the defense.
Surrattsville almost gave the
game away during Fairmont
Heights’ final possession of regulation. Fairmont Heights drove down
the field with 45 seconds left in the
game, but failed on third-and-long.
However, Surrattsville got called
for two consecutive offside penalties as Fairmont Heights attempted
to punt—giving Fairmont Heights a
new set of downs and a chance to
win the game.
But Surrattsville managed to
hold off Fairmont Heights and send
the game into overtime. In the extra
session, Surrattsville finally made
plays. Although it took four downs
for Harris III to finally deliver, he
ended up throwing the game-winning touchdown to senior wide receiver Trey Lancaster.
On the previous play, Harris
III, overthrew his receiver by five
yards and had only completed one
pass the entire game.
“I definitely feel like Trey Lancaster is the best receiver in P.G.
County, period,” Harris said. “So
anytime I see him in a tough situation like that, I’m going to go to
him.”
Harris III said he plays for the
big moments.
“I definitely felt it coming in
the fourth quarter when the score
was tied,” Harris III said. “I always
wanted to have the ball in my hands
when it comes down to it, because I
feel like I’m made for these types of
situations. My team rallied around
me and they trusted me.”
Harris III only completed three
passes in the game, but the final two
were the biggest ones of the season.
One pass went for the final touchdown and the final completed pass
turned out to be the two point conversion that sealed the game for
Surrattsville.
Harris III, said he kept his calm
throughout the situation and relied
on what he learned at a football
camp hosted by Russell Wilson.
“As a leader, I know I had to
keep my head and I had to make
sure my team kept their head,”
Harris III said. “Russell Wilson
taught me to always stay calm. As a
quarterback I have to lead my team
at all times and I have to make the
plays.”
After the touchdown drive,
Major sealed the game away with
an interception on defense. Coach
Harris said Major saw what Fairmont Heights wanted to do and just
sat on the route.
“They like to drag that backside tight end,” Harris said. “We
missed it a couple times early. Finally, we woke up and made the
play on it at the right time.”
