UPPER MARLBORO – With
budget decisions looming for the
Prince George’s County Council,
some citizens are weary of officials’ decisions to travel to Las Vegas for a convention this week instead of continuing to work on the
budget.
The council did not hold a
weekly meeting on Tuesday with
three of its members attending the
International Council of Shopping
Centers event in Las Vegas in order
to sell the county to business owners and increase the commercial tax
base.
“We’re going out there to meet
with potential retailers to try to get
them to come to Prince George’s
County,” Council Chairman Mel
Franklin said. “That’s really what
this conference is about. It is about
business and government and other
leaders getting together to market
their jurisdictions and for retailers
to market their businesses to these
jurisdictions.”
Franklin, along with Council
Vice Chairman Derrick Leon Davis,
Councilmember Karen Toles and
County Executive Rushern Baker
III traveled along with other county
staff to “sell the county,” Franklin
said. Maryland Governor Larry
Hogan also attended the event, according to his public schedule and
an attendee list for the event.
The county must make a decision on Baker’s proposed budget by
May 28, which includes multiple
tax hikes and a $133 million county
contribution to the Prince George’s
County Public Schools system.
Baker has proposed raising the real
property tax rate by 15 percent—
above the charter limit. He also proposed raising the county’s personal
property tax rate from $2.40 to
$2.78 per $100 of assessed value.
Telecommunication taxes will be
raised from 8 percent to 12 percent
on top of those increases.
But the goal for this three-day
conference is to sell Prince
George’s County to the business
owners in attendance. A total of 23
members are attending from Prince
George’s County.
“We’re here to make an effort
to prove the point that Prince
George’s County being a bedroom
community is over,” Franklin said.
“The time of us being an economic
definition is at hand.”

County officials upset with Hogan
Staff Writer
UPPER MARLBORO – Despite a call for full funding at the
behest of the Prince George’s
County Council, County Executive
Rushern Baker III and Prince
George’s County Public Schools,
Governor Larry Hogan has decided
to withhold the remaining 50 percent of the Geographic Cost of Education Index (GCEI) funding the
county has sought.
PGCPS released a statement
calling Hogan’s actions “disastrous” and saying the governor has
a “disdain” for public schools.
“We are disappointed and mystified by Governor Hogan's decision to reduce funding by half for
GCEI, especially after the General
Assembly worked so hard to restore
this funding,” the statement said.
“Whether this decision is due to a
desire to play politics, misplaced
priorities, or poor advice, what the
Governor should know is that the
children and families of PGCPS
will be the ones punished by this
very unfortunate action.”
PGCPS would have received
$40 million from the state had the
governor chosen to fully grant
GCEI funding statewide. Instead,
according to the statement, they
will only receive $20 million,
which is the equivalent of removing
240 teachers from classrooms
throughout the county.
The Maryland General Assembly passed Senate bill 183 requiring
Hogan to fully grant GCEI funding
to the state, but the appropriation of

County police hoping to implement body cameras this fall
Staff Writer
UPPER MARLBORO – Although the proposed 2016 budget
does not include funding for a pilot
body camera program, Prince
George’s County Police Chief Mark
Magaw said the department still
plans to implement body cameras in
the fall.
Magaw said the department has
been trying to figure out which cameras to use—those attached to sunglasses, the shoulder or the middle
of the officers’ chests.
“We’ve been testing body cameras for 18 months. We’re looking to
see what would be best for us. We’ve
given (Deputy Chief Administrative
Officer of Public Safety Barry Stanton) a proposal for them,” Magaw
said. “This is something that I think
is critical for us for transparency.
Our officers want them, but it is expensive and is not an easy system.”
Before installing body cameras,
Magaw said, the department must
figure out how they are going to
store the information, which officers
will be wearing the cameras and
where they will be wearing them on
their bodies so that they can create
the most transparent product.
Body cameras will make the
police force a better one, Magaw
said, because it will create trust in
the police force from the community.
“That is a critical factor,” he
said. “We’re only as great as our relationship with the community.”
The cost of body cameras has to
be a concern, said Councilwoman
Karen Toles. In Baltimore County,
the body camera program will cost
the city between $16 and $18 million, she said, while the District of
Columbia will pay $1.9 million.
“How are we going to pay for
that? That could be another $10 to
$20 million for the budget,” Toles
said.
The program is important,
Toles said, and would be “worth
every penny”, but she does not want
to have to pull money from somewhere else in the police budget to acquire a body camera program.
Magaw said he expects the
cameras to cost the department $1.2
million per year over a three year
contract. The police department is
looking for grant money to start the
pilot program in the fall, Magaw
said.
“We believe there is grant money we can get to do our pilot to make
sure that this is the best way to store
the images and tapes,” Magaw said.
“There still needs to be a pilot program for us. That will happen, at the
latest, in the fall. I’d like to do it
sooner but that is probably the time
frame.”
The police department has done
a great job of keeping the community safe, Councilwoman Deni
Taveras said, and she does not mind
spending more money to keep the
community safe. However, she said
it can sometimes be difficult to figure out how much money the police
need because crime tends to shift.
Taveras suggested the police
department have line items budgeted
in for special events and unscheduled events. The Office of Management and Budget should create line
items for this budget just in case unexpected expenses come up, she
said.
“I think that is critical and necessary,” Taveras said. “I would definitely like OMB to have a special
line item for these events.”
Unlike the school system, Toles
said it can be difficult for the police
department to plan ahead, but it must
make sure it has costs covered in the
short term.
“I shouldn’t say this, but we believe that the investment in our children is important and something we
can’t ignore, but do we have the
money to do what the county executive is asking? We’re debating that
now,” Toles said. “We want to do a
lot of things that are good but cost
money. We’ve seen this in the past.”
The county needs certainties in
funding, Toles said. The police department needs to be sure of what
the costs for the body program
would be so the council will know
what to expect.
To keep costs down, Magaw
said, the department is planning on
installing the program incrementally
rather than all at once. This will allow them to monitor their spending
on the program with any acquired
grant funding, according to Magaw.
“We’ll start from 50 to 100 (officers) in the pilot program and once
we move forward we double that
number then double it again,” Magaw said. “Not just jump to 1,000
across the board. There are ways to
get this program up and off its feet.”
Former Maryland governor celebrates 95th birthday
By Len Lazarick
[email protected]
If you live long enough in politics, all may not be forgiven, but
most is forgotten, and if you’re
lucky, only the good stuff is remembered.
That’s certainly true of former
Gov. Marvin Mandel, who turned
95 last month and was feted
Wednesday at a birthday celebration
organized by his old friend and
sometimes unofficial ‘chauffeur,’
lobbyist Bruce Bereano.
About 400 people came to the
dinner at the Baltimore Marriott
Waterfront. It was an old-timers reunion for a governor who left office
36 years ago. Many of them used to
be important and some still are, including Gov. Larry Hogan, Senate
President Mike Miller, House
Speaker Mike Busch, and U.S.
House Minority Leader Steny Hoyer.
MarylandReporter.com has
memorialized Mandel’s remarkable
career several times, including the
run up to his 90th birthday, marked
by the publishing of his memoir.
A bipartisan affair
The birthday celebration was a
bipartisan affair. The aging Mandel,
a product of Baltimore Democratic
machine politics, has stayed relatively conservative as the Democratic Party has moved to the left.
He supported both Hogan and
former Republican Gov. Bob
Ehrlich, who marveled at the remarkable occurrence to have “every
living Republican governor in the
same room.”
Mandel became Maryland’s
chief executive when the last GOP
governor before Ehrlich, Gov. Spiro
“Ted” Agnew, was elected vice president with President Richard Nixon.
The legislature chose the speaker of
the House of Delegates, Mandel,
since there was no lieutenant governor.
Agnew was also the last governor to call out the National Guard to
quell a Baltimore City uprising — in
1968 after the assassination of Martin Luther King.
“No other governor has had
such a lasting impact on Maryland,”
said Hogan. “Of course I’ve only
been governor 110 days. Give me
eight years and we’ll see how I stack
up.”
Mandel had almost 10 years as
governor, though 19 months of that
was spent in a federal prison camp in
Florida on a mail fraud conviction
that was later overturned on appeal.
But there was only vague allusion to Mandel’s legal problems that
left Lt. Gov. Blair Lee III as acting
governor. There was no mention of
the marital drama that had him living on the governor’s yacht while his
first wife refused to leave Government House after she found out
about the affair with the woman who
would be become his second first
lady.
Government reform
As master of ceremonies Tim
Maloney, the former Democratic
delegate and well-connected super
lawyer who is a long-time friend of
Hogan, put it, Mandel was “the architect of modern Maryland… It
wasn’t always easy, and it wasn’t
always pretty.”
Mandel over several years created the current structure of the
Maryland judiciary, including the
district courts and judicial nominating commissions. He took hundreds
of disparate state agencies, and put
them together under a modern cabinet system. Maryland became the
first state to have a transportation
department overseeing roads, mass
transit, port and airports that he purchased for the state to run.
He instituted state funding for
school construction as Maryland’s
suburbs grew.
Mandel is also remembered as
one of the greatest friends of the
black community, and appointed
many of the first African American
judges to serve in Prince George’s
and other counties.
Hoyer was a young state senator who voted against Mandel’s
election but later become Senate
president with his help. He called
Mandel, “the best governor I’ve
served with for almost half a century,” praising “the generosity of his
spirit.”
Mandel, a short man who has
grown even smaller with age, still
has his wits about him, though his
voice is not as strong as it used to
be.
“I can’t thank you all for all the
kindnesses you’ve shown tonight,”
said Mandel in a brief speech.
Maloney said the famous epitaph for renowned English architect
Christopher Wren found in the
crypt of London’s St. Paul Cathedral could also apply to Mandel’s
tenure as governor.
“If you seek his monument,
just look around you.”

Hyattsville looks to redevelop vacant buildings
Staff Writer
HYATTSVILLE – With the
city election completed, the city
council is looking to move forward
with the development of the vacant
BB&T Bank building and the vacant arcade building.
Both buildings have become
eye-sores for the community, said
Councilman Joseph Solomon. Pyramid Atlantic Arts Group is looking
at moving into the arcade building,
Solomon said, while the Hyattsville
Police Department will move into
what used to be the BB&T Bank.
“These are buildings on opposite sides of town. When this council came in two years ago, one of the
things we wanted to move forward
on was redeveloping these build-
ings,” Solomon said. “Residents
were complaining about this on
their tax roll saying that they don’t
think we should pay for it.”
The city bought the bank building almost a decade ago, said Councilwoman Paula Perry. The building
cost $950,000 at the time of purchase, according to a risk and reward analysis of the purchase done
by the city.
Residents had concerns that the
city had no plans for the development, Solomon said, but the city recently determined it would be best
to turn it into a police station, he
said. The property has yet to be put
out for bid for developers.
“It had been discussed as a police department before, but previous
councils could not get it done,”
Solomon said. “We aggressively
pursued it on our side of town. On
the other side of town, they did the
same thing with the arcade building.”
The arcade in East Hyattsville
will be turned into an art facility,
Solomon said. Pyramid Atlantic
came to the city with the plan of
turning the arcade into an art facility, Solomon said, so the city did not
issue a bid for the arcade building.
“Pyramid Atlantic came to us
with a proposal so we did not issue a
bid out for the facility,” Solomon
said. “There will be a bid for the
bank. We want someone to help us
redevelop that building.”
The police department needs
the space that will be provided in
the bank development, Councilwoman Paula Perry said. The department has outgrown its space in
city hall, she said.
“We’re not sure how much it
will cost to redevelop this. We’ve
been given figures in the past, but it
wasn’t for anything but fixing it up
in general,” Perry said. “For the police department, we don’t have any
figures on that as of yet.”
Once the property is bid out,
Perry said, the council will figure
out how much it will cost to redevelop. The new development will
also provide more meeting space for
constituents in the community,
which is a real need Perry said.
Things like holding cells and
new elevators have to be installed,
according to Councilman Robert
Croslin. The heating and cooling
system also has to be repaired, he
said.
“There are a lot of things that
need to be repaired,” Croslin said.
“We have to repair this as a police
station. There have to be cells installed. Things have to be repaired.
It’s going to take a lot of work so it
will take a lot of time.”
Croslin said Pyramid Atlantic
will be taking on the full cost of redeveloping the arcade building into
an art studio. They moved from Silver Spring into Hyattsville, so the
facility may be similar he said.
Although Pyramid Atlantic is
taking on the cost of redeveloping
the building, Croslin said, the city
will provide funding damaged walls
within the facility. However, Pyramid Atlantic will pay the grant back
over time with interest, he said. The
city can provide grants up to
$200,000 for the facility, but the
amount has yet to be determined.
Bowie council passes $50.8 million budget for 2016
By Alexis A. Goring
Special to the Sentinel
BOWIE – The Mayor and City
Council unanimously passed a
$50.8 million general fund budget
for 2016 Monday night, which includes a 1.95 percent pay raise for
all employees and maintains the
real property tax rate for the sixth
consecutive year.
The budget represents a 7 percent increase from last year’s budget, or more than $3 million.
City Manager David Deutsch
said that property tax revenue accounts for 58 percent of city revenue. Income tax receipts are expected to be less than FY15, falling
short by $296,600. A slight recovery of 1.49 percent is expected in
FY16, yielding a total of $8.4 million.
The city will also receive $2.7
in highway user fund revenue from
the state—its highest allocation in
nine years.
“Bowie has the largest road
mileage total of any Maryland municipality,” Deutsch said. “For the
last two years, the State provided
an additional increment of approximately $1 million over the ‘base’
figure of about $457,000. Governor (Larry) Hogan initially continued the approach of the two previous years in his FY16 State Budget
proposal, which would have yielded $1,504,300 in HUR funds to
Bowie.”
Deutsch said this will be the
largest HUR allocation in nine
years.
The budget also provides the
city police department’s with $10
million, including funding for body
cameras. The budget includes
money for the hiring of three new
officers: one officer assigned to the
patrol section, one officer assigned
to the problem-solving directed response team and one for the criminal investigation division to focus
on fraud and identity theft cases.
The police department will
use $70,000 of the budget money
to outfit their officers with body
cameras in order to help improve
accountability and transparency
and ensure accuracy of accounts
when interacting with citizens or
making an arrest.
The city police are also looking to get accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Law
Enforcement Agencies, which will
cost $10,500 in 2016.
The application process will
take several months but the city
and police think it’s a “worthwhile
effort.” “Benefits of CALEA accreditation include greater accountability within the department,
reduced risk and liability exposure,
and stronger defense against civil
lawsuits,” Deutsch said in a memo.
The most discussed item under the Capital Improvements Program (CIP) is the indoor sports facility. The project has stalled due to
the difficulty in finding and agree-
ing on a site to locate the new facility. The site must have 8.1 acres in
order to build.
“The proposed budget has
$3,045,000 for hiring a project
management firm and for architectural and engineering design,”
Deutsch said on page xii of the
memo. “The CIP still shows construction of this project in FY2018
for $20,300,000. Staff will continue to search for an appropriate site
for this structure. However, until a
site is selected, this project is
stymied.”
Councilmember James Marcos does not think the proposed
budget varied from the final budget
which city council approved Monday.
“I think that the proposed budget was a good start and as always,
staff worked together to come up
with the best path toward a good,
balanced budget,” Marcos said.
“The one that we adopted had just
minor changes in it and I don’t
Check out our web site www.thesentinel.com
think that really affected too much.
I was very pleased.”
The minor change Marcos
noted regarded funds for a scoreboard in Church Road Park. It was
cause for debate.
“Our decision to kind of push
that out a bit instead of paying for
the scoreboard which would have
been an additional $36,000.00,”
Marcos said. “We decided to push
it further out in the budget to 2017
so it can be discussed then and voted upon then. So instead of bringing it into this budget and spending
more money, we pushed it out for
more discussion, that’s basically
all we did.”
Councilwoman Diane Polangin approved not only the budget,
but the process.
“Oh, I’m just delighted that it
went as lovely as it did,” she said.
“It’s a good budget. It’s clear, it’s
concise. We didn’t raise taxes.
There were no additions. This is a
stress-free budget session.”

County officials attend conference in Las Vegas to attract more business
From “council” page 1
ness Contractor association, said
the means to increase the commercial tax base exist at home in Prince
George’s County, but officials have
to be willing to work within the
community.
“I think we have some problems at home that need immediate
attention,” Branch said. “We do
need commercial development, but
I’m always a proponent of developing homegrown businesses. There
are many opportunities to do that in
this county.”
For some reason, Branch said,
homegrown businesses are being
shut out and neglected by county
officials. Instead of traveling to Las
Vegas, he said the county government should hold a similar conference of its own in Prince George’s
County..
“It would be a great thing to
hold a summit like that here,”
Branch said. “We have a lot of talented contractors here. But we always hear the same old song that
they lack capacity.”
The ICSC meeting is essential
to county business, Davis said, who
serves as a Prince George’s County
Economic Development Corporation board member. The conference, he said, presents the county
with the potential of increasing the
amount of commercial real estate
development.
The county has had success in
the past, Davis said, in bringing
commercial development into
Prince George’s County because of
conferences like the ICSC conference.
“We have experienced great
success with bringing important
new retail prospects home to Prince
George’s County – Whole Foods,
Rose’s Discount Stores, Dave and
Busters, to name a few of the businesses that have chosen Prince
George’s as a result,” Davis said.
“Additionally, it’s a great opportunity to collaborate with our regional
partners on an approach to economic development that fits the needs of
Prince George’s County.”
The county council has a tough
job to do with the budget according
to Judy Robinson, a community activist and a former secretary for the
county’s planning department. She
understands that they may need a
bit of time to “decompress” and get
away from the budget, but she
would prefer if they were at home
in the county.
“I don’t normally feel sorry for
politicians, but I have even felt sorry for the county council. And that’s
saying quite a lot. They are being
raked over the coals with this budget,” Robinson said. “My message
would be to stay here. I’m sure
there are other meetings you can go
to. There are other businesses you
can contact.”
Robinson said she has concerns with the tax rates proposed in
the budget, because it could hurt local and prospective businesses.
Employers are not going to want to
move their employees into a place
where they are going to have to pay
more taxes, Robinson said, and will
have a difficult time convincing
employees to work in the county.
“If it takes the county executive and county council to sell
Prince George’s County then you
already know we’re in trouble,”
Robinson said. “Are they going to
sell our new business tax or our new
property tax?”
Governor Hogan withholds GCEI funding from school system
From “Hogan” page 4
the full funding is not mandated until FY 2017 while the budget just
approved by the general assembly
is for FY 2016.
With Hogan refusing to fully
grant the rest of the GCEI funding
to the county, PGCPS must now
make decisions on whether they
must cut costs from anywhere in
their budget according to Sherrie
Johnson, spokeswoman for
PGCPS.
“We are still determining these
things,” Johnson said. “No decisions for any cuts have been made
as of yet.”
This is a move to ensure that
pensions for Maryland state employees and teachers are not put at
risk for reduction, according to
Hogan.
“I was elected to deliver fiscal
responsibility to Annapolis, which
means putting an end to the damaging, budgetary gimmicks that put
the state’s long term financial stability at risk,” Hogan said.
The Sentinel previously re-
ported Hogan’s decision to slash
GCEI funding by 50 percent, saving the state $143 million. Prince
George’s County loses $20 million
in GCEI funding as a result of the
50 percent cut from the state.
Baker questioned the commitment to the state’s education system
from Hogan. This is doing a disservice to the children across the county and the state, Baker said.
“I believe it is a disservice to
the people of Prince George’s
County and a significant disinvestment in the children and future of
this county and our state,” Baker
said.
The county’s proposed budget
that would help make PGCPS a top
10 school system by the year 2020,
according to Baker, is seeking to
make an additional investment in
the school system that the state will
not make.
“I proposed this investment
based on data that consistently evidenced a deterioration of our school
system over the past two decades in
a number of areas, including
teacher salaries and inequities in
the types and level of resources offered to our children,” Baker said.
That is not a popular decision
among county residents, Baker
said, but the county must take a
stand and “put politics aside” in order to make “fact-based” decisions
and support the education system.
“It is disheartening that the
Governor is not showing the same
level of dedication to Prince
George’s County children, who
should also be highly valued children of the State of Maryland,”
Baker said.
Despite Baker’s questions
about his commitment to education
in Maryland, Hogan said he is still
committed to funding the education system and has increased education funding by $109 million
from last year’s budgeted amount.
Overall, Hogan has committed
$6.1 billion overall to K-12 education in the state including a $318
million investment in school construction.
“I also want to set the record
straight on the investments my administration has made in K-12 edu-
cation, including a $109 million increase in funding over last year,”
Hogan said. “We have taken steps
to grow education funding, but the
state still faces $18.7 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, following $625 million in cuts to pension
contributions in the last few years.
To address this situation, I’ve decided not to follow the General Assembly’s recommendation to raid
the pension fund.”
Removing money from pension funds would be “shortsighted
and irresponsible,” Hogan said,
and constituents elected him to
“end this very type of reckless budgeting and governing.”
Pensions for employees are
important, Franklin said, but the
state legislature is finding ways to
balance those issues along with education funding. This is a longterm issue, Franklin said, that will
take more than cuts to solve.
“We’re going to have to address this on the state and local levels. We all are going to have to address this,” Franklin said. “My understanding is that the legislature
found ways to fund these things
and also provide equity and opportunity for education.”
Franklin said he is disappointed the governor is withholding the
rest of the GCEI funding for the
state. The reason for this funding,
Franklin said, is to deliver an equitable and adequate education to
children across the state.
“That’s why we have the funding distribution the way we have it
in the state. It is to create equality
and opportunity for all students. So
when that funding is held hostage
by the governor, it undermines
equality and opportunity throughout the state,” Franklin said.
This is not about a dollar figure, Franklin said, but it is about
the equal opportunity the dollar
figure affords children in Maryland.
Hogan will not sign SB 183,
he said, but the legislation passed
favorably in the House (88-51) and
Senate (32-15), collectively adding
up to three more votes than needed
to pass the bill.

purchasing the property subject to all matters known and unknown, in "AS IS, WHERE IS" condition. In executing and delivering the Memorandum of Purchase, purchaser recognizes purchaser has not relied upon nor been induced by any statements or
representations of any person, including the Substitute Trustee,
the secured party, the note holder or an affiliate or their respective servicers, predecessors and successors, heirs, personal and
legal representatives, agents, employees, successors and assigns
(collectively, "Released Parties"), with respect to the condition of
the property, including the environmental condition of the property, unless such representations or statements are specifically set
forth in the Memorandum of Purchase. Purchaser has not relied
on anything in the foreclosure advertisement, but rather has relied
solely on such investigations, examinations or inspections of the
property as purchaser has made. Purchaser waives and releases
the Released Parties from any and all claims the purchaser or its
successors and assigns may have now or in the future may have
relating to the condition of the property. Purchaser acknowledges
and agrees that this provision was a negotiated part of the Memorandum of Purchase and serves as an essential component of consideration for the same. The parties specifically acknowledge and
agree that this clause bars all claims by purchaser against Released Parties, arising from the condition of or releases from the
property pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensations and Liability Act of 1980, as amended,
and all other actions pursuant to federal, state or local laws, ordi-
nances or regulations for any environmental condition of or releases from the property. Further, purchaser agrees to indemnify
Substitute Trustee for any liability she may have to any third
party for an environmental condition of the property. Notwithstanding the parties' intent that this clause bars all such claims,
should a court of competent jurisdiction deem otherwise, purchaser agrees that the presence of this clause should serve as the
overwhelming, primary factor in any equitable apportionment of
response costs under applicable federal, state or local laws, ordinances, or regulations."
Additional terms and conditions, if applicable, may be announced at the time and date of the sale. (File

Baysox fall to Flying Squirrels
By Ted Black
Sentinel Sports
BOWIE – In the final game of
their homestand on Sunday afternoon the Bowie Baysox fell behind
quickly and were upended by the
visiting Richmond Flying Squirrels, who cruised to a 9-4 victory.
Bowie (19-18) had developed
a pattern of starting slowly on the
homestand and that trend continued
on Sunday afternoon when Richmond scored four runs in the first,
then added two each in the second
and third innings. Though they had
managed to execute a comeback the
night before, the Baysox could not
escape an early deficit on Sunday.
“Over the last week our starting pitching has not been ideal and
we’ve found ourselves in some early holes,” said Bowie manager
Gary Kendall. “We were down four
runs early [Saturday] and were able
to come back. But today we got behind 6-0 and 8-1 and those are pretty big holes. We had some chances
to get back into the game in some of
the middle innings, but we left too
many guys on.”
Bowie starting pitcher Terry
Doyle came into the contest with a
2-0 record and impressive 2.45
earned run average, but Sunday afternoon the Bulldogs’ starter could
not get past the third. Richmond
scored four runs in the first on six
hits, with Mac Williamson (3 for 4)
delivering a two-run double.
Williamson would prove to be
Doyle’s nemesis again in the second with a two-run home run.
“I thought Doyle was around
the plate a little too much today,”
Kendall said. “A lot of their hitters
looked a little too comfortable at
the plate. Then our bullpen came in
and did a real nice job. [Ben]
Rowen came in and gave us four really good innings. I think his
[sidearm] delivery really throws a
lot of hitters off balance.”
Bowie got one run back in the
home half of the second on a double
by Quincy Latimore that scored
Sharlon Schoop, but the Flying
Squirrels added two more runs in
the third against Doyle. Javier Herrera had a one-out double to right
then Eliezer Zambrano, Richmond’s number nine batter, belted a
two-out homer to right center for an
8-1 lead.
Bowie got another run in the
third against Richmond starter Jake
Snodgrass, but the Flying Squirrels’ southpaw escaped serious
trouble. Ozzie Martinez, Glynn
Davis and Chris O’Brien all singled
to load the bases then Schoop plated Martinez with another single.
But Snodgrass retired Rossmel
Perez on a pop-up to short and then
got Garabez Rosa on a grounder to
second.
Rowen limited the Flying
Squirrels to one run in four innings
of relief, but the Baysox did not
score again until the bottom of the
ninth. Pinch-hitter Ronarsy Ledesma led off with a single, Latimore
singled and Jason Esposito walked
to load the bases. After Martinez
reached on a fielder’s choice in
which Ledesma was erased at
home, Davis walked to force in a
run and Mike Yastrzemski drove in
another with a sacrifice fly to left
before O’Brien popped up to short
to end the game.
One night earlier the Baysox
overcame an early 4-0 deficit and a
100-minute rain delay to end a fivegame skid by rallying for an 8-4
victory over the Flying Squirrels.
Bowie scored four runs in the sixth
and then four more in the seventh to
prevail.
You’re out!

Exelon’s Merger With Pepco Approved
By Rebecca Guterman
Staff Writer
Chicago-based Exelon Corporation agreed to Tuesday to comply with the conditions put forth by
the Maryland Public Service Commission to move forward with a
merger with Pepco Holdings, Inc.
The Maryland Public Service
Commission (PSC) voted 3-2 on
May 15 to approve the $6.8 billion
merger, which will make Exelon
the power provider for about 85
percent of Maryland customers.
Exelon would gain control of Pepco Holding’s three utilities: Atlantic City Electric, Delmarva
Power and Pepco.
“After a thorough review of
the order, we have concluded that
it is constructive, but the conditions it imposes – including those
to which the companies already
committed in our settlement – will
also be challenging. It poses some
stringent conditions that will be
difficult to fulfill, but all of us at
Exelon accept the challenge and
commit to proving ourselves in an
expanded role in Maryland,” said
Chris Cane, CEO of Exelon.
The commission approved the
merger with a number of conditions, some of which came from
settlement agreements with Montgomery and Prince George’s counties’ governments. The PSC adjusted some of those conditions
which now include: reliability
standards to be met by 2020 or
face financial penalties, $66 million for residential rate credits,
$43.2 million for energy efficiency
programs and $14.4 for sustainability investments for the two
counties. Exelon must also provide
for development of 20 megawatts
in renewable energy generation
throughout the service areas by the
end of 2018.
The conditions also include
“ring-fencing” measures to protect
customers from Exelon’s business
activities as a “generation-owning
parent entity.” Exelon owns nuclear power plants, which many
worried would hurt ratepayers in
the long-term as nuclear energy
becomes more expensive and obsolete.
“The evidence does demonstrate that one of Exelon’s motives
for the merger is to diversify its fi-
nancial reliance on volatile power
market revenues from its generation business with the steady income stream from increased ownership of regulated distribution
companies. What the record does
not demonstrate, however, is any
evidence supporting the assertion
that Exelon will seek to loot the
earnings from Delmarva and Pepco to the financial detriment of
those utilities,” PSC commissioners wrote in the order.
Maryland PSC Commissioners Harold Williams and Anne
Hoskins dissented from the order,
citing concerns about the harm
they believe the merger will have
on consumers.
“The proposed merger…will
undermine competition; it will increase rates, challenging affordability for many consumers; and it
will eviscerate economic protections due to a weakened and compromised corporate governance
structure,” they wrote.
The other three commissioners wrote they believed the merger
did not impose any more risk of
harm on customers than already
exists under Pepco.
Montgomery County Council
member Roger Berliner (D-1),
who has been outspoken on the
merger as a member of the Coalition for Utility Reform, said he
was disappointed in the merger despite the conditions. Pepco and Exelon did not settle with the coalition prior to the PSC decision.
While Berliner said he supports increased reliability commitments, contributions to sustainability, availability of Pepco
rights-of-way for trails in the community and the PSC’s decision to
look into reform on utility operations, he said the changes could
have occurred without the merger.
“Many of us, including Attorney General Frosh, the Maryland
Energy Administration, the Office
of People’s Counsel, our County
Council, environmental organizations, and the PSC’s own staff,
concluded that this merger is not in
the public interest,” Berliner said.
“How the Commission could conclude differently is hard to fathom.
One can only conclude that this is
a classic case of ‘regulatory capture.’ Exelon has a proven track
record of favoring its own nuclear
generation holdings over renewable technologies like solar and
wind. This merger poses an unacceptable threat to both ratepayers
and our environment.”
Mike Tidwell, director of the
Chesapeake Climate Action Network, also said the PSC made the
wrong decision.
“Commissioner
Kelly
Speakes-Backman – an O’Malley
appointee to the commission and a
staunch advocate for environmental protection through clean energy
– defied expectations and cast the
swing vote in the 3-2 decision,” he
said.
Tidwell said now it is up to
D.C. regulators to make the” right”
decision and reject the merger in
their jurisdiction.
“Unless D.C. PSC regulators
make the right choice where Maryland went wrong, these negatives
impacts are almost certain to occur
with today’s flawed approval.
Maryland Attorney General Brian
Frosh spoke for many opponents
before this decision in saying ‘no
amount of money or structural

Metro continues to face scrutiny after latest incident
By Holden Wilen
Managing Editor
WASHINGTON – The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority (WMATA) continues to
face scrutiny from customers after
another electrical arcing incident
occurred last week and an internal
performance scorecard revealed
customer satisfaction is at its lowest levels.
Last Monday five arcing insulator at the Foggy Bottom Metro
station caused smoke and a service
shutdown, leading to delays at
Rosslyn in northern Virginia. At a
committee meeting of the WMATA Board of Directors on Thursday, officials apologized and
promised to wash down the stations and clean and replace insulators in order to prevent more arcing
incidents to happen.
“We have a responsibility to
take care of our customers,” said
WMATA Deputy General Manager Rob Troup. “We will do better in
the future.”
Troup said the wash downs
will occur in June and July, and are
supposed to occur every two years.
Amid the chaos on Monday,
many customers reported poor
communication on the part of
WMATA, according to Lynn Bowersox, assistant general manager of
customer service. Two-thirds of
customers who responded to a survey said they were already on the
platform or train when the incident
occurred and only 32 percent said
they learned of disruptions directly
from Metro.
Bowersox said 16 percent of
respondents said they understood
Metro’s announcements, but she
attributed the confusion to people

UPPER MARLBORO – The
Prince George’s County Police
Department’s seventh district station is set to finally open in the
fall, Chief Mark Magaw told the
Prince George’s County Council
Thursday, but the department is
still trying to figure out how it
needs to shift staff.
The station will be completed
in July, Magaw said, but the department must figure out how to
shift staff from other stations to
fill the 70 sworn officer positions
at the District VII station. The department must also figure out
how to fill seven vacant civilian
positions.
Councilwoman Karen Toles
said she is concerned about the
possibility of moving experienced officers from districts that
still need reduction in crime.
“I’m going to say this publicly: I don’t care if you don’t
fund District VII,” Toles said.
“Just do not remove my officers
from District IV because crime
has increased in that area. I’m
saying this with conviction because I mean this. Crime has increased slightly.”
In January, county officials
announced that crime in the county has seen a 33 percent reduction
in crime, including a 40 percent
decrease in homicides and a 35
percent reduction in violent
crime.
While the police officers are
doing a “magnificent” job of decreasing overall crime, Toles said,
some parts of the county have
seen crime increase and cannot
afford to lose police officers. Car
theft and other quality of life
crimes have increased is some
District IV areas, she said.
“Hire some other officers,”
Toles said. “Do not take my officers from District IV. If you build
a police station you can’t hurt another community in order to help
another one. I am saying this loud
and clear. I will stand in front of
that police station. Do not move
these officers out of District IV.”
According to the police budget, the department will conduct
an analysis of crime data and call
volume for each district to determine what staffing level each station needs.
Magaw said pulling officers
from other stations will not limit
the department’s ability to serve
all of its districts.
“We’re here to protect everybody,” he said.
But Magaw said he does have
concerns about being able to fill
all of the civilian positions because other stations still have
some vacancies.
“We have not been able to fill
a lot of civilian positions,” Magaw said. “We’ve been working on
strategies to fix that. As we up our
civilian staff, our capabilities
grow exponentially.”
The 2016 fiscal budget provides funding for the new station’s officers, but Magaw said he
does not know how much money
the department will have to fill
the civilian positions. According
to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB), the department
will have sufficient funds to fill
18 civilian vacancies. Magaw
said the department has been
working with OMB to sort out
what they will be able to afford to
spend on civilian positions.
Despite Toles’ concerns
about taking staffing from other
stations, Councilman Obie Patter-
son said the department must do
whatever it can to fill all of the
positions at the new station.
“I think the worst thing that
can happen is to get a brand new
building out there and to have it
inadequately staffed,” Patterson
said. “I think the citizens down
there have waited a long time to
bring this building into completion and now it is on the verge of
being completed. The last thing
that I want to hear is that we are
not going to have staff there.”
Twelve sworn officers are
currently assigned to administrative and other support functions
that could be filled by civilians,
Magaw said, and that lessens the
resources available for policing.
The difficulty filling civilian vacancies increased the need for
overtime. By filling the vacant positions the department will be able
to reduce its overtime spending.
“We need these positions because it puts our officers in the
communities where they need to
be policing,” Magaw said.
According to the budget, 53
civilian vacancies remain unfilled. The FY 2016 budget allocates $19.1 million, a $200,000
increase over the amount budgeted in 2015. Councilwoman Andrea Harrison said the department
needs to work to keep their overtime down even more because the
council needs money to govern.
“It’s very, very difficult for
us to do the rest of government
between public safety and education,” Harrison said. “Our citizens are not getting some of the
basic services they need. While
they’re a little bit more safe,
things are down. You’ve done a
great job with that. But I’m going
to ask that you really try to work
on getting a much lower number

Maryland Public Service Commission approves Exelon/Pepco merger
From “merger” page E-1
changes can make this deal into
one that’s in Maryland’s best interest.’ Yet the PSC today, tragically,
ruled otherwise,” he said.
The merger is still pending before the Delaware and District of
Columbia Public Service Commis-
sions. Delaware’s PSC is expected
to vote at its meeting on June 2 and
had waited in part to see what
Maryland commissioners decided,
according to Ombudsman Matt
Hartigan. The record for testimony
on the merger in D.C. closes May
27, and the commission then has
90 days to decide from that date.
A number of environmental
and other organizations have opposed the merger in D.C. already,
including the Power D.C. Coalition, Center for Biological Diversity, Nuclear Information & Resource Service and Grid 2.0 Working Group.
Even with the merger, local
attorney Ryan Spiegel, another
member of the Coalition for Utility
Reform, said he was also encouraged by the promise of Utility 2.0,
which connects utility companies’
profits to public interest measures
like renewable energy, reliability,
customer service and innovation.
“The dissenting Commission-
ers' strong embrace of Utility 2.0
sets the stage for future proceedings, like those in New York and
Hawaii, to fundamentally reform
the electric grid, and lends additional support to the Coalition's
ongoing efforts to make performance-based ratemaking a reality
in the state of Maryland,” he said.
Report shows Metro customer satisfaction continues to fall
From “Metro” page E-1
not understanding Metro “jargon.”
In addition, 35 percent of respondents said they understood onboard announcements from Metro
operators.
“We need to keep refining our
ability to communicate with customers,” Bowersox said.
Tom Bulger, a member of the
Board of Directors representing
the District of Columbia, said he
thinks WMATA needs prepositioned teams in place to respond to
incidents more quickly. Troup said
there are currently two teams—one
in downtown D.C. and another in
Virginia.
William Eullie, who represents Virginia, said the lack of
communication by Metro during
the incidents “irks” him.
“Personally, I don’t see any
changes,” Eullie said. “…What we
can control is improving our communication.”
Dan Stessel, a spokesman for
WMATA, told reporters the implementation of new 7000 series rail
cars will help improve communication because customers will be
able to better hear announcements
onboard the trains. The older cars
use retrofitting technology and can
have static or poor sound quality.
The new cars will fix that problem,
he said.
“You will notice that (the messages) crystal clear,” Stessel said.
“They are computer-generated, automated and standard and digital.
Volume of them is clear and audible. I have not heard a single complaint about clarity of those announcements. We’ve also taken
advantage of break to add LCD
and LED screens.”
Some customers have reported not hearing messages at all
aboard Metro cars, leading to questions about train operators and
whether or not they are all actually
making announcements.
Stessel said he “finds it hard to
believe” that operators are failing
to make announcement and believes if customers are not hearing
announcements, it more than likely
is a problem with the car itself.
“Operators are trained to
make announcements. They are
tested on that,” Stessel said. “We
have supervisors that ride trains
every day. If you are not hearing
announcements we want to know
because we will take that rail car
out of service.”
Stessel said rail supervisors

regularly ride trains and listen for
announcements, and WMATA also
has a mystery shopper program
that grades the rail service on a
number of factors including lighting, clarity of announcements and
overall quality of the ride.
During the Board of Directors
meeting, Metro officials also presented the findings of the latest vital signs report, which showed
eight of 10 measures had worsened. The only performance measures to remain the same or improve were elevator and escalator
availability. The report reveals that
bus on-time performance, rail-on
time performance, rail fleet availability, bus fleet availability, injury
and crime rates and overall customer satisfaction all worsened.
Andrea Burnside, chief performance officer for WMATA,
said the first quarter of 2015 was
“fraught with worse than normal
cold, ice and multiple snow
events,” which led to rail on-time
performance that never reached
Metro’s target. Burnside also said
reliability measures worsened as
Metro was challenged by the implementation of the Silver Line.
Measures did begin improving in
March, Burnside said, and she expects them to continue to improve
in the second quarter of the year.
Injury rates also spiked because of the incident earlier this
year in January at the L'Enfant
Plaza station on the Yellow Line.
According to the vital signs report,
Metro released two new safety preparedness videos and launched a
safety campaign targeted at the rail
stations with the most injuries in
2014.

Crossland students help rebuild local McDonald’s
By Alexis A. Goring
Special to the Sentinel
FORT WASHINGTON – Almost a year after an electrical fire
destroyed a local McDonald’s
restaurant, a brand new one has
been built and will open Saturday
thanks to the help of some Crossland High School students.
Last August, an electrical fire
destroyed the McDonald’s restaurant located at 7100 Allentown
Rd. But now the restaurant is open
for business with a grand opening
set for Saturday. The old building
was demolished and a new, modern and contemporary building
was established on the corner.
“It’s a beautiful new restaurant. It’s the only one of its kind in
this metropolitan area. It’s very
contemporary,” Mary Navies,
owner and operator of the McDonald’s, said. “It speaks to
Prince George’s County and the
love that I have for this county. I
want it to be inviting, make it a
gathering spot, not just be on the
corner but be a part of the corner.”
Navies believes in community involvement, so she reached
out to the vocational school at
Crossland High and spoke with
the masonry instructor Mr. Chew,
to create an experiential learning
experience for Chew’s students
during the rebuilding of her
restaurant.
“I wanted our students to
know that going to a vocational
school can lead to many opportunities for them and this was an opportunity to expose them to the
many jobs that are available to
them once they graduate,” said
Navies.
Demetrius Chew, masonry
instructor at Crossland High
School, agreed to take his class on
a field trip across the street to see
firsthand the building project in
the works.
“We toured the facility, met
most of the project managers and
toured the facility to see what was
going on,” Chew said. “The objective was to allow the students
to go to a construction site to find
out what goes on with the planning, scheduling, material-handling, the cost estimate and
plans.”
Navies invited the students to
be a part of the restaurant. The
Crossland High School art students created a special mural for
the restaurant which is on display
inside the new building.
“I wanted those kids to feel
like they are stakeholders, like
this is their restaurant,” Navies
said. “Kids often times are rejected and not welcomed. But I wanted them to feel welcome in this
restaurant.”
Theresa Moseley Fax, principal of Crossland High School said
the students used to go to the old
McDonald’s before or after
school. She said the students were
“distraught” when they learned
the original McDonald’s closed
because of the fire, were glad
when it re-opened and appreciated
the opportunity to create artwork
for the new building.
“We have some very talented
students at Crossland High
School,” Moseley Fax said. “They
are gifted artists and for them to
actually display our work, I think
it’s a good thing.”
Chew describes Navies as
“wonderful”, “caring” and “understanding” but also he thinks
Navies more than a community
leader, she is an example.
“I think she’s a good example
in the African American community, especially for females. I
work in the school system where a
lot of the female students don’t
have too many people to look up
to,” Chew said. “I think Ms.
Navies sets a wonderful example
not only for females but for
African American young boys. If
you have a dream, if you work
hard, you can succeed and make
money.”
Navies is a veteran restaurateur with 24 years of experience in
the business. She finds joy in
mentoring the youth.
“I will tell you that I have the
finest young people that work for
me and I don’t take this lightly,”
Navies said. “I like to be a role
model for them, to be able to show
them that they too can do what I
do. They too can dream and make
their dream a reality.”
When the restaurant’s rebuilding process was complete,
Chew visited to eat lunch with
Navies and she made a promise to
him.
“One thing she did say was
that before she opened up the
restaurant, the first hamburger she
wanted to flip on the grill she
wanted it to be for the students
and that impressed me that she is a
woman of her word,” Chew said.
“She opened it up to the students
before she opened it up to the public.”
The new exterior of the McDonald’s restaurant is constructed
with the appearance of red bricks
and a stone veneer that Chew said
is “beautiful” and enhances the
“beauty of the building.”
“It doesn’t look like the normal McDonald’s that we grew up
with in the 80’s and the 90’s. It’s a
different design,” Chew said. “It’s
a modern look, a modern feel.”
Two weeks of activities and
events, starting May 10, will conclude with a grand opening celebration and ribbon cutting this
Saturday morning with County
Executive Rushern Baker, III as
the special guest.
On the web. All the time.

Entrepreneurs aim to take advantage of D.C. marijuana market
By Alicia McElhaney
Capital News Service
WASHINGTON–A
new
generation of entrepreneurs is
positioning itself to take advantage of an emerging marijuana
market in the nation’s capital by
attracting customers with upscale
products.
“When I research the people
who are buying these products
[they are] lawyers, doctors, psychologists,” Davis Clayton Kiyo,
creator of the Stashtray said. “It’s
become clear that this is way
more acceptable and no one has
really filled that gap.”
Since Initiative 71 passed in
late February, entrepreneurs have
set up innovative businesses in
the District that help customers
do two things – grow and consume marijuana.
Take Kiyo, for example. He
had the idea for the Stashtray — a
magnetic rolling tray that includes a container, grinder and
ashtray and can be disguised as a
leather bound book — years before marijuana was legalized in
Washington.
“People go on dinner dates
and say ‘let’s go back to my
house for a drink,’” Kiyo said. “I
don’t drink much, so I would say
‘let’s go back to my house for
whatever.’ I’d come back and
have a huge mess on my coffee
table with a grinder and plastic
baggie. I had this idea for a liquor
cabinet but more towards my side
of the industry.”
“I’m from D.C., I’ve always
been embarrassed by the stoner
stigma,” he added. “I’d go to rallies, there would be tie dyed
shirts and long dreads. I wanted
to look more put together.”
And so, the Stashtray was
born. Before the passage of Initiative 71, Kiyo used Indiegogo,
an international crowdfunding
website, to get funding for his
product. He recently opened a
storefront in Bethesda, The Fogden, that not only sells the Stashtray, but also several other highend products like vaporizers,
dabbers and grinders Kiyo said
he created the products to make
smoking weed more upscale.
He also said that despite having no marketing budget, his
business is exceeding all goals,
although he declined to supply
specific numbers..
Businesses like Kiyo’s are
popping up all over the District.
But while it’s no longer necessary to purchase vaporizers and
bongs under the guise of smoking
tobacco in D.C., sales of marijuana itself are still prohibited,
which has considerably stunted
the growth of some possible business ventures.
“At the end of the day, it becomes very difficult for residents
of D.C., whether they be patients
or just consumers, to obtain what
they can now [legally] obtain,”
said Brielle Pettinelli, the creator
of ROOT, an indoor hydroponic
gardening system. “It’s now a
struggle for residents.”
Initiative 71 allows anyone
over the age of 21 to have two
ounces or less of marijuana,
which can be smoked or consumed on private property. Residents are also allowed to grow as
many as six marijuana plants
within their home or apartment,
but no more than three may be
flowering at once.
The law is being criticized
by some for not allowing people
to buy or sell marijuana in the
District. Instead, marijuana, both
the seeds and the actual consumable plant, must be given or
shared.
“The law in D.C. is really insane in a lot of ways,” Kiyo said.
“It’s legal, but there is no possibility of sales. There’s a huge
amount of tax revenue the city
could make from that. It’s just a
matter of time before they really
realize that.”
A bill that would legalize the
sale of marijuana in the District,
as long as the seller had a license,was introduced in January
but the D.C. Council hasn’t acted
on it since holding a public hearing in early February.
“D.C. is kind of in an odd
spot right now because they’ve
legalized a certain amount of
growing, possession and use,”
said Taylor West, deputy director
of the National Cannabis Industry Association. “There’s not really another market right now
that reflects that same kind of setup. I don’t know if there’s anywhere else where you’ve got fully legal possession and growing
but no commercial market at all.”
It is legal to buy and sell marijuana for recreational use in four
states and for medical use in several more. The legal cannabis industry in the U.S. grew from $1.5
billion in 2013 to $2.7 billion in
2014 according The ArcView
Group, which conducts market
research on the cannabis industry.
“[The market] is anticipated
to grow quite a bit, depending on
how quickly states move forward,” West said.
“I think that the public opinion is in favor of legalization,”
said Tracewell Gordon, creator of
kuLi, a vaporizer pen. “We won’t
necessarily have it until the federal government legalizes it
though.”
Gordon, a master’s student at
Catholic University studying law
and business, started an online
marketplace, Tracewell’s, to sell
marijuana-related paraphernalia.
He and his business partners then
invented the kuLi, a vaporizer, or
a device that allows the user to
smoke marijuana extracts, which
typically have near-pure THC
content.
The kuLi, which looks like a
pen and comes in different colors
and designs, is being sold at head
shops across the country, Gordon
said. Most recently, he added, he
has been able to start selling the
product at Takoma Wellness Center, one of D.C.’s three medical
marijuana dispensaries.
Tracewell’s incorporated in
late November of 2014, but didn’t start selling the kuLi until
Valentine’s Day. Since then, Gordon says the business has raked
in over $60,000.

Maryland universities get free military
equipement through federal program
By Elena Baurkot
Capital News Service
See news?
Tell us about it!
Call us at (301) 306-9500 or e-mail us at
[email protected]
WASHINGTON–Police departments at four Maryland public
universities have received more
than $190,000 worth of surplus
military equipment–ranging from
rifles to an armored truck–from the
federal government at no charge,
according to public records reviewed by Capital News Service.
The records show that the
equipment went to campus law enforcement agencies at the University of Maryland College Park, Coppin State University, Morgan State
University and Salisbury University.
The University of Maryland
College Park police department accounts for the majority of the military hardware with about $175,000
worth of tactical equipment; Coppin State has about $10,000 worth;
Morgan State has approximately
$3,400 worth and Salisbury has
around $2,000 worth.
Surplus military equipment
has been available to state and local
law enforcement agencies since
1990, first through the Defense Department and, since 1997, through
the Justice Department.
The ability of police departments to obtain military gear
gained widespread public attention
last August, when police in Ferguson, Missouri, used a variety of
military hardware and equipment
in responding to protests following
the fatal shooting of Michael
Brown by a city policeman.
Through the program, police
departments of the four Maryland
universities have collectively acquired M14 and M16 rifles, shotguns, pistols, utility trucks, an armored truck, cartridges and office
equipment that is not listed in public records.
police department’s two utility
trucks (valued at a total of $84,437)
are used to respond to incidents in
inclement weather. The armored
truck (valued at $65,070) is only
lightly armored and couldn’t withstand a grenade but could withstand some rifle ammunition, protecting officers and medics in the
case of an active shooter, said Sgt.
Rosanne Hoaas, the spokeswoman
for the department.
The majority of this equipment could be obtained without the
federal program, but at a high expense, Hoaas said.
“Everyone’s going through
budget issues across the board and
it’s no different for us,” she explained. “It’s money that we could
use elsewhere to also help benefit
the agency so it’s a big deal for us.”
The federal Defense Logistics
Agency updates data quarterly on
equipment distributed through the
program. As of March 31, the four
Maryland universities had tactical
equipment valued at about
$190,000. This number does not
account for depreciation or equipment that was returned.
While police departments in
some states have to pay a fee for
acquiring equipment through the
program, police departments in
Maryland receive the equipment
free of charge. The Defense Logistics Agency and the federal Law
Enforcement Support Office do
not charge police departments to
use the program.
Currently through the program, three of the four university
police departments–University of
Maryland College Park, Morgan
State University and Salisbury
University–collectively have 63 rifles — 59 M16s and four M14s.
The rifles have been demilitarized, which means they can only
be fired semi-automatically with
an officer pulling the trigger for
each shot, Hoaas explained.
College Park has 50 M16s and two
M14s valued collectively at slightly more than $25,000, according to
records reviewed by Capital News
Service.
Spokespeople at the universities said the rifles are useful for
training and could be beneficial to
police during a violent episode on
campus. The University of Maryland’s two M14 rifles are used only
for ceremonial purposes, Hoaas
said.
“Our police department would
not have been able to purchase
these items,” Clinton Coleman, a
spokesman for Morgan State University, said about the rifles.
“There are other priorities that
would have taken the place of
these.”
Morgan has five M16 rifles
valued at $499 apiece and two
M14 rifles valued at $138 apiece,
records show. Morgan also obtained six 12-gauge shotguns, valued collectively at $648, through
the program.
Coppin has five 12-gauge
shotguns, valued at a total of $540
and 30 Glock pistols valued collectively at $9,600, according to
program records. Those records
also show that Salisbury has obtained four M16 rifles valued at
nearly $2,000.
To receive equipment, police
departments must request the item
they need and the state coordinator
for the program must approve the
request. It is then sent to a second
tier of approval by the federal Law
Enforcement Support Office and
the item is awarded based on availability.
When a police department no
longer needs the equipment, it can
send it back. The University of
Maryland police department returned 16 shotguns in January that
were no longer needed, Hoaas
said.
“We always want to look at
what we have and see what is the
purpose for the equipment because
that’s really what it comes down
to,” Hoaas said. “What is the purpose for this equipment and how is
it being used?”

State commission to study over-testing of students
By Rebecca Lessner
For MarylandReporter.com
Maryland lawmakers decided
the first step to solving over-testing in Maryland public schools is
to understand the full problem, so
they passed a bill creating a 19member commission that will attempt to alleviate the pressure of
excessive student testing.
The Commission to Review
Maryland’s Use of Assessments
and Testing in Public Schools became law Tuesday, as Gov. Hogan
signed HB 452 into law.
Many states have begun assessing the effectiveness of their
own testing standards. The nationwide scrutiny comes in response
to testing increasingly taking center stage in the classroom — at the
expense of meaningful learning
time, according to testing critics.
“It’s a big issue that parents,
legislators and educators all agree
on,” said Sean Johnson, assistant
executive at the Maryland State
Education Association (MSEA).
After spending 35 years
teaching mathematics in Howard
County, sponsor Del. Eric Ebersole, D-Baltimore and Howard,
knows firsthand how excessive
testing holds up the progression of
other classes, as teachers are
pulled out of their classrooms to
administer the federal and state
mandated tests that can last more
than two hours.
“A school can be ground to a
halt,” said Ebersole. “There is a
lot of infrastructure that goes into
testing and it uses a lot of manpower.”
Commission versus
eliminating tests?
Ebersole was often asked
“why not just eliminate tests, is
the commission necessary?”
“Testing is pretty well entrenched in our education philosophy,” said Ebersole. “We need a
commission with credible results
in order to cause policy changes.”
Testing is used to evaluate
teacher and student performance,
but it is also tied in with school
ratings, funding that comes with a
high- or low- performing schools
and graduation requirements.
“The high stakes nature of it
all, whether it’s funding, graduation or employment status, is a
concern for everybody,” said
Johnson.
According to Johnson, there
is no uniform amount of testing
done across Maryland jurisdictions. Similar subjects may be
lumped into one test or separated
depending on school preference.
He hopes the commission will establish uniformity across all jurisdictions.
An analysis conducted by the
Baltimore Sun in November
found that in Baltimore County
students can spend up to 46 hours
testing, while in Carroll County
students spend 14 hours.
Not yet appointed
The commission will consist
of two delegates and two senators
to represent the General Assembly
and 15 other stakeholders, as appointed by the governor.
MSEA is eager to get as many
qualified and diverse voices as
possible before the governor for a
decision, including educators,
parents, education experts and administrators.
Also ready to volunteer is the
bill sponsor.
“I’m not going in with an
agenda on exactly what this com-
mision should do,” said Ebersole,
adding he would listen to the experts and review results.
The commission will present
its findings and suggest the next
step to the General Assembly by
July 2016.
Problems at national level
Parents chose to remove
173,000 of their children from
state testing in New York last
month, in response to issues with
Common Core standards and
teachers being more heavily evaluated on student performance.
“Opting out” is gaining
ground as an alternative to testing
in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Michigan and New York, but
Maryland State Department of
Education requests parents not opt
their children out of a state test.
Classrooms are also attempting to adjust to Common Core
testing standards. Maryland followed the 45 states and the District of Columbia in the use of the
new standards last year through
the Partnership for Assessment of
Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) tests.
Building frustrations have
put pressure on Congress to reassess the 2002 No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB).
Under No Child Left Behind,
“100% of students need to score
proficient on state assessments
beginning in spring 2014, a standard that is impossible for almost
every school in every state to
meet,” said the Maryland Department of Legislative Services.
No Child Left Behind requires states to annually assess
students in reading and math in
grades 3-8 and once in grades 1012. It also requires states to test
students in science once in grades
3-5, 6-8, and 10-12.
The U.S. Senate Committee
on Health, Education, Labor and
Pensions voted unanimously in
favor of the Every Child Achieves
Act of 2015, which would allow
states to decide the “weight” of
federal test outcomes, rather than
federal government. It now goes
before the full Senate for a floor
vote.

Governor Hogan picks a fight with House speaker
By Len Lazarick
[email protected]
Gov. Larry Hogan will have
plenty of reasons to face off with
House Speaker Michael Busch over
spending and policy issues in the
next four years. But why the Republican governor chose to pick a fight
with the Democratic leader of the
House of Delegates on Friday make
little sense.
On Thursday, Hogan had already ticked off Democratic lawmakers, teachers and a host of education advocates by rejecting their
pressure to give public schools $68
million more. Hogan said he wanted
to use the money for the pension sys-
tem, reversing a $75 million cut the
legislature had made.
But Hogan can only find that
money in a roundabout way at the
end of the year if there’s a surplus.
Policy differences
It’s a legitimate policy difference — school funding now versus
the need for more pension funding
later. Democrats see it as shortsighted; Republicans see it as fiscally
prudent. It is consistent with
Hogan’s goal to get control on
spending now and in the future.
Friday, he got personal with
Busch, cutting a $2 million project
for Maryland Hall for the Creative
Arts in Annapolis. Busch has long
been a legislative patron of the hall,
the former Annapolis High School
not far from his home. The building
has been transformed into a theater,
studio and performance areas.
Hogan said he would use the $2
million to reopen the Annapolis barracks for the State Police and add 100
state troopers for a total of $8.2 million that Hogan had proposed in a
supplemental budget. Contrary to traditional practice, Busch did not permit
that budget addition to be introduced
in the closing days of the session.
The governor’s explanation
makes no sense as even his press release makes clear. The $2 million for
the Maryland Hall was in the “Maryland Consolidated Capital Bond
Loan of 2015, also known as the
Capital Budget.” That money was
going to come from 15-year bonds
the state was going to float, not from
current revenues, so cutting the project simply reduces the state’s future
debt. Hogan will have to come up
with $8.2 million from somewhere
other than bond loans yet to be floated. Hogan has never really made a
persuasive case of why State Police
ranks need to grow by 6%.
Making Busch an enemy
While some Republicans on social media have been cheering
Hogan standing up to Busch, the action actually does little harm to
Busch, but reinforces his stature
among fellow Democrats as a foil to
Hogan’s plans. Hogan’s pique is directed at Busch, but it’s actually the
constituents of both men who lose
the benefit of renovations at Maryland Hall.
Hogan also seemed to be making a mistake made by Gov. Bob
Ehrlich, who turned Mike Busch
from a policy foe into his personal
nemesis. Busch is never going to be
a fan of Hogan’s policies, but turning their differences into a grudge
match undermines Hogan’s ability
to govern in a bipartisan way.

Skyline Citizens Association is
45—still going strong
The Skyline Citizens Association (SCA) was born Feb. 27,
1970 when about 100 residents
of the Skyline Subdivision, Andrews Estates and Robin Hood
Homes met in the multi-purpose room at Skyline School
and selected Dolores Steinhilber to be acting chairman of
the Steering Committee.
Charlie Tretler was named
Bylaws Chairman and, along
with Gene Dunlap, Cecil
Matthews and Frank Robbins,
tapped Arthur Zdobysz to draw
up the bylaws. They were ratified on May 1, 1970. The first
SCA meeting was held later in
May at Skyline School.
Dolores Steinhilber was
elected our first president, one
of only two women to hold that
position. A complete list of
those early officers is unavailable, but some of them were:
Navy Capt. Raymond Perkins,
Larry Reilly, Sandra Pouncy,
Maj. Patrick Hayes, Jack Power
and Jill Power. I served for a
year as corresponding secretary.
Mary McGrath was the editor of the Skyline Newsletter,
but she soon moved away and I
became editor, and still am—for
almost 45 years now.
The association was first
named the Parkway Citizens
Association, but in February
1971 we voted to change it to
Skyline Citizens Association.
SCA is still going strong, with
Stanley Holmes as a terrific
president. We have 45. Will we
make it to 50?
4th of July Parade needs
marchers
I remember the glorious
days of the VFW Parade down
Suitland Road—the drum & bugle corps, the Morningside
Sportsman’s float, the school
bands, the little cars, the Ladies
Auxiliary marchers, the bandstand.
Now, the Morningside
Recreation Council is carrying
on the tradition. They do a good
job, but there are simply not the
marchers there used to be. Can
you think of a group—or an individual—that would like to be
in a parade? A vintage car or
motorcycle? A clown? Someone running for office or someone who already holds one?
I love the parade, and I’ll be
there, under the Baptist tree,
waving my flag.. But I wish the
parade were longer and had
more music. If you know anyone who might be interested,
call Susan at 301-412-0135.
Pre-K slots and greenhouses
Skyline Elementary has
full-day Pre-K slots open due to
county funding, starting with
the upcoming school year. For
information contact Mrs. Magness in the Skyline office, 301817-0535.
Also, the school has two
unique courtyards. One courtyard has a greenhouse in need
of repair. It will be repaired and
in use for the next school session and beyond. If you would
like to contribute plants or
seeds, or purchase a $10.00 bag
of rubber mulch for the beautification, contact Mrs. Magness at
the Skyline office, 301-8170535.

Wise pummels Northwestern 20-10 to advance
By Ted Black
Sentinel Sports
UPPER MARLBORO – After
finding itself in an early hole, the
Dr. Henry A. Wise High School
baseball team came back to beat
Northwestern High School 20-10 in
the 4A South Region final on Friday.
Northwestern scored four runs
in each of the first two innings to
forge an early 8-2 lead over Wise.
But despite needing three pitchers to
get through the first two frames the
Pumas rallied with six runs in the
second, five more in the third, four
in the fourth and ended it early with
three in the sixth for a 20-10 victory
over the Wildcats. Wise, which last
won the region title in 2011, will
face Gaithersburg on Tuesday
evening at the University of Maryland.
“We knew their two, three and
four batters could really hit,” said
Wise coach Drew Gilliam. “Those
first three innings those guys killed
us. But we have some bats, too. T.J.
[Young] came into a tough spot and
was able to settle everything down.
Then our bats came alive. That’s
just who we are. We have not had a
lot of pitching this season, but we
have a lot of guys that can hit.”
In the top of the first inning,
however, it was Northwestern that
did the bulk of the hitting. Wise
freshman pitcher Tyrin Brooks
walked the first two batters then
yielded a run-scoring double to
Rafael Calcano. Kevin Ramirez
then followed with a three-run
home run to straightaway center
field and the Wildcats claimed a 4-0
lead. Wise had also trained Roosevelt, 4-0, in the first inning on
Monday.
Wise got two runs back in the
bottom of the first against Calcano.
Myles Wolfolk led off with a double, stole third and scored on a wild
pitch. Ryan Fortune was hit by a
pitch, took second on a wild pitch
and was awarded third on a balk and
then scored on a sacrifice fly to center by Nico Brooks, narrowing the
Pumas’ deficit to 4-2.
But the Wildcats scored four
more runs in the top of the second to
extend the lead to 8-2. Kevin Diaz
Ortiz drove in one run with a double
against reliever Charles Hemmans
then Ramirez followed with a threerun homer to straightaway center.
Gilliam hooked Hemmans with two
on and two out and Young escaped
the jam despite hitting a batter to
load the bases.
Wise immediately answered
with six runs in the home half of the
second against Colanco. Wolfolk
plated one run with a sacrifice fly,
Fortune drove in another with a single and Thomas Mason and Brooks
followed with consecutive run-scoring singles and Abraham Herrera
added an RBI double that scored
Brooks with the tying run.
Norhtwestern regained the lead
by getting two runs, one earned,
against Young in the third. Diaz
reached on a one-out error then Calcano followed with his second
homer of the day, a two-run shot to
left center. But Young settled down
after that and limited the Wildcats to
only two more hits over the next
three innings and the Pumas’ offense did the rest.
Wise forged its first lead of the
game by scoring five unearned runs
in the third. The Pumas extended the
lead to 17-10 after four innings
thanks to a two-run homer by Wolfolk and the hosts finally ended the
game when Herrera touched
Ramirez for a two-run, ground rule
double to left with one out in the
sixth.
“I’m proud of what the kids did
this season,” said Northwestern
coach Chris Burrows. “For us to get
to this game showed a lot. We
jumped on them early, but we knew
they would have the bats to come
back. We made a couple of mistakes
that kept some innings alive, but
give credit to Wise. Their bats really
came alive.”
Northwestern walks off against Laurel in regional semis
By Holden Wilen

HYATTSVILLE – Trailing by
four runs in the fifth inning with one
of the county’s top pitchers warming
up, Northwestern High School’s
baseball team seemed left for dead.
But a furious comeback and errors by Laurel High School’s baseball team gave Northwestern a
walkoff 8-7 victory in the 4A South
Region semifinals.
Kevin Ramirez, Brian Davila
and A.J. Hardy all hit run-scoring
singles for the Wildcats, who scored
four runs in the bottom of the fifth
inning to tie the game at 7-7.
In the sixth inning the game
turned into a pitcher’s duel—between Laurel ace Tyler Carmen and
Rafael Calcano, a Northwestern
sophomore from the Dominican Republic. The two pitchers combined
for seven strikeouts in the sixth and
seventh innings as Carmen overpowered the Wildcats with his fastball while Calcano dominated with
his sharp, breaking curveball.
“I knew that was the point that
we had to stop them from scoring
runs,” said Northwestern head coach
Chris Burrows. “(Calcano) has got
the best chance. He doesn’t walk
runners, he’s going to throw strikes
and he’s going to make people
miss.”
Laurel coach Don Cleveland
said he could have brought Carmen
in earlier, but he wanted the young
righthander to go only two innings.
“He wasn’t going to go back
out there in the eighth,” Cleveland
said. “I wanted him to pitch two and
that’s why I brought him in the
sixth.”
In the bottom of the seventh,
Carmen struck out Ramirez but fell
behind in the count against Davila.
The senior catcher, playing in his
first game back since suffering an
arm injury earlier in the season, hit a
squibbler to the shortstop but
reached base and advanced to second base on a throwing error. Then,
with Hardy at bat, Davila stole third
base and came home safely after the
catcher threw the ball away.
“The yearbooks already went
out but this would have been my
most memorable moment, stealing
home,” Davila said.
Having faced Carmen during
the summer and the season before,
Davila said he knew what to expect
when he came to bat.
“Contact, I knew contact with
his fast pitching means a hard-hit
ball,” Davila said. “I was hoping for
the best.”
Earlier in the game Laurel held
a 4-1 advantage as Ramirez, who
started on the mound for Northwestern, struggled with his command.
After Northwestern scored in the
fourth inning with back-to-back
triples by Ramirez and Davila to cut
the score to 4-3, Laurel came back in
the top of the fifth to add three more
runs.
Ramirez threw four and twothirds innings, struck out six hitters
and gave up seven runs on six hits.
He also walked four batters. On the
other side, Laurel starter Nash Persaud pitched five innings, striking
out seven batters, giving up seven
runs on six hits and walking four.
Despite trailing, Burrows said
he told his team not to give up.
“I told them, we don’t quit.
There is no quit in us. We are going
to keep playing until the last out of
the game,” Burrows said. “Kevin
was a little down after I pulled him
out of the game. They made some er-
rors behind him which I understand,
but this game is far from over. Our
bats are going to get those runs
back.”
For Laurel, Cleveland said the
team will look back on the game as
one with missed opportunities.
“We were sitting pretty there
going into the bottom of the fifth.
We were up four. Up four in baseball
with three innings to go isn’t anything. We could have helped ourselves out by scoring a run here and
there in the last three innings and we
didn’t,” Cleveland said. “We were
confident going in there and we had
our pitcher in there that we wanted
in there. We just sat there stagnant at
the plate the last two innings, not
even trying to put the ball in play. It
is very disappointing. I wasn’t mad
at them. We made too many throws
in the field that we didn’t need to
make.”

Eleanor Roosevelt softball trounces Laurel in regional final
By Ted Black
Sentinel Sports
GREENBELT – Nearly one
year to the day after their perfect
season was halted in a 4A South Region semifinal, the Eleanor Roosevelt High School softball team
kept its unbeaten record intact on
Thursday by trouncing Laurel High
School 18-0 in the 4A South Regional final.
Roosevelt (19-0) advanced to
the Maryland Class 4A State semifinals for the second time in three
years where the Raiders will face
Northwest on Tuesday evening at
the Bachman Sports Complex in
Glen Burnie. In consecutive days
last week, Roosevelt blanked Laurel
and arch-rival Bowie behind stellar
outings from senior pitcher Joya
Grillo, who limited the Bulldogs to
only three hits and allowed only one
hit against Laurel.
“I was contemplating using Renee [Rogers] today, but Joya said
she felt fine,” said Roosevelt coach
Delton Fuller, who guided the
school’s girls’ basketball team to its
second straight 4A state title in
March. “Joya was throwing pretty
hard most of the game. She had a
no-hitter going into the last inning
and that ball landed just in front of
[left fielder] Claire [Mudd]. But I’ll
take a one-hit shutout anyday.”
While Grillo coasted through
the Laurel batting order, walking
one batter in the third and then allowing a one-out single to Odalis
De La Cruz in the fifth, Laurel junior pitcher Ashley Woodall got
very little support. Roosevelt senior
shortstop Allanah Baiyina led off
the first with a single, took second
on a wild pitch and later scored on a
bloop double to left center by Grillo.
But that would prove to be the only
earned run Woodall would allow on
Thursday.
Roosevelt scored five runs in
the second, six more in the third and
six more in the fourth. Roosevelt
batters collected 13 hits in the game,
with Baiyina going 4 for 4 with a
two-run homer, Rogers had three
hits and Nora Snider added two. But
the bulk of the Raiders’ run came
courtesy of Laurel mistakes. De La
Cruz committed three errors, while
third baseman Katie Cardinal and
center fielder Sarah Gilbertz each
had two.
“That was not how I expected
us to play today,” said Laurel coach
Jen McGillin. “That was not how
we played the last time we played
them or played Bowie. We had close
games with Roosevelt [a 6-0 loss]
and Bowie [a 5-1 loss] the last time
we played them. I really don’t know
how to explain what happened today. I know the girls were a little
nervous early, but they never really
settled down.”
One day earlier Roosevelt defeated Bowie, 10-0, as Grillo limited the Bulldogs to only three hits.
The Bulldogs also committed a
handful of errors that led to five unearned runs. Roosevelt batters had
nine hits against Bowie senior Sarah
Beitzell, who threw a five-inning
no-hitter three days earlier when the
Bulldogs defeated Suitland, 14-1.
The Bulldogs squandered a stellar
defensive performance from senior
third baseman Brittany Lowe, who
had five assists and one put-out.
Wise crushes Oxon Hill 18-4 in regional semifinals
By Ted Black
Sentinel Sports
OXON HILL – Two days after
beating last year’s 4A South Region champion Eleanor Roosevelt
High School, the Dr. Henry A.
Wise High School baseball team
continued its winning ways by
beating Oxon Hill High School 184, in a 4A South Region semifinal
on Wednesday.
Wise (14-4) jumped on the
hosts early by scoring six runs in
the first, four more in the second,
three more runs each in the third
and fourth innings and then two
more in the fifth. Pumas’ starter
Chris Hemmans allowed one run in
the first and then three in the fifth
long after the outcome had essentially been decided. Wise will host
the 4A South Region on Friday afternoon, with the start time likely
to be moved up since the Pumas’
prom is that evening.
“We really got most of our
runs early on walks and errors and
then we added a few hits,” said
Wise coach Andrew Gilliam, a former assistant coach at Riverdale
Baptist. “It was not the ideal way
for us to score, but we got plenty of
runs early and that always helps.
Chris pitched an excellent game.
He had three scoreless innings until
they finally got a couple of runs
back in the fifth.”
In a playoff season in which
perennial powers Bowie and
Eleanor Roosevelt were eliminated
before the region semifinals, Wise
will be looking to end the string of
upsets on Friday afternoon. The
Pumas have already made one trip
to the Maryland 4A State semifinals in 2007 and now they will host
the region finals with a chance to
head back to the University of
Maryland next Tuesday.
“I know the kids are excited
about the prospects of moving forward,” Gilliam said. “They have
been working hard all season.
Those close games we had against
Bowie and Roosevelt earlier in the
season really helped us get prepared for the playoffs. We had
three great games with Roosevelt.
They got us in the first two, but we
were fortunate to come out on top
the other day in the playoff game.”
As fellow hurler T.J. Young
had done two days earlier against
Roosevelt, Hemmans went the distance to garner the win against
Oxon Hill on Wednesday. But he
did have plenty more support. Ryan
Fortune went 2 for 5 with a double,
Tyrin Brooks went 2 for 3 with a
double, Jared Aldrich went 3 for 4
with two doubles and Thomas Ma-

son was 2 for 5. Hemmans allowed
four runs on five hits while fanning
four.
Oxon Hill (14-4) had feasted
on the county’s lesser squads
throughout the season then was
thumped, 14-3 by Roosevelt in the
Prince George’s County Championship last Thursday. But the Clippers rebounded from that setback
by upending Charles H. Flowers,
18-15, in a wild affair on Monday.
Oxon Hill trailed through much of
that game before posting seven
runs in the fifth to gain a lead it
would not relinquish. Flowers had
downed Bowie, 7-3, last Friday to
reach Monday’s quarterfinal round.
