INDEX Calendar . . . . . . . . . . .E-8 Classifieds . . . . . . . . E-12 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 Legals . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .5 County residents to vote on terms limits in November Neighbors . . . . . . . . . . .18 By Michael Sykes Cartoon . . . . . . . . . . . .

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 Please see “term limits” page 4 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. “Normally a warrant is isPlease see “ICE” page 4 PHOTO BY MELANIE BALAKIT Guisel Gonzalez, right, paints a rain barrel.

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.

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 of got startled she violently tried to switch over back to the second lane and just like a split second later, she jerked the wheel again to get COURTESY PHOTO into the left lane but the Suzanne Miller second time that she did it,” Perrin said. “Sue just happens torcycle is always at fault that’s not to be right there, and that’s when she true because you do have motorists kind of wiped her off the road and that do cut motorcyclists off sometimes.” sent her toward the guardrail.” At the vigil, Chaplain Paul AnAccording to Perrin, after the vehicle hit Miller, the driver tried to derson broke the emotional ice by correct her action before she lost con- handing out a sheet listing human feelings and asking everyone to take trol of the car. “The car fishtailed down the turns expressing their emotions ushighway for about 20 or 30 feet and ing the words on the paper.

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 www.thesentinel.com The Sentinel website is here Much more news and information from and about your community as close as your fingertips 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.” County Executive Baker follows O’Malley’s lead in requiring ICE to obtain warrants From “ICE” page 1 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.” Call 301-306-9500 to Advertise... and let your business soar!

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 COURTESY PHOTO Bowie Mayor G. Frederick Robinson 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. 16 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL OCTOBER 9, 2014 N EIGHBORS Mary McHale (301) 735-3451 MorningsideSkyline American Indian Festival coming up at Patuxent River Park The 6th Annual American Indian Festival will be held in the group camp and picnic area of Patuxent River Park on Saturday, Oct. 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine.

OCTOBER 9, 2014 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL 17 NEWS 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 place the food on the inside PHOTO BY ALEXIS A.

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. 18 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL OCTOBER 9, 2014 SPORTS 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.

Yeargin said she would love to continue her football career in college after she graduates from Bishop McNamara, but she needs to hone Check out our web site www.thesentinel.com 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.” OCTOBER 9, 2014 19 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL SPORTS Several key matchups in Week Six as teams look to make statements and battle for playoff position By Charles Abankwa Sentinel Sports Douglass at Potomac The Eagles did something they have not done before all season-give up a score.

Potomac is without running back Kesean Strong because of an arm injury, but the team should still put up a fight.

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- Please see “wage” page E-4 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. Please see “Ebola” page E-4 PHOTO BY DAN KUCIN JR.

OCTOBER 9, 2014 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL NEWS 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 Smith, assistant commander of the criminal investigation division of the county police department, Warren, of Upper Marlboro, shot and killed Mitchell White outside of the Belair Swim & Racquet Club near Bowie High School as White attempted to break up a fight between his son 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 forensic evidence we were able identify Warren as our suspect ADVERTISE and we obtained an arrest warrant for his arrest,” Smith said. The Prince George's County police fugitive squad tracked down Warren and arrested him at a motel in Anne Arundel County Wednesday evening and charged 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.

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. NOW HIRING!

E-6 OCTOBER 9, 2014 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL NEWS 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.

Gillis OCTOBER 9, 2014 E-7 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL NEWS 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 PHOTO BY MELANIE BALAKIT 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.” On the web.

"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. OCTOBER 9, 2014 OCTOBER 9, 2014 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL E-9 C ALENDAR Whatʼs happening this week in Prince Georgeʼs County THURS 9 HONORS 2014 Samuel Riggs IV Alumni Center, College Park.

She uses mediation, arbitration and settlement conferences successfully for conflict involving personal injury (including auto torts and premises liability), employment, workplace conflict, child access, elder law, ethics, collections, contracts and other civil matters.

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 PHOTO BY DAN KUCIN JR. 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. OCTOBER 9, 2014 E-23 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL SPORTS PHOTO BY MELANIE BALAKIT Flowers quarterback Jose Holloway rushes for a first down during the second quarter as he helped lead his team to an exciting win over Oxon Hill. Flowers pulls off thrilling 32-28 win over Oxon Hill By Charles Abankwa Sentinel Sports 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. E-24 OCTOBER 9, 2014 THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL SPORTS 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. Reed wins bout in unanimous decision with Top Rank earlier in July this year.

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.”
