Hospital in
Laurel to be
downsized
By Michael Sykes
Staff Writer
AUGUST 6 - LAUREL Rather than continuing to operate as
a normal hospital, said Erika Murray, a spokeswoman for Dimensions
Healthcare Hospital system, the
Laurel Regional Hospital will downsize into a $24 million outpatient facility by 2018. But some officials do
not agree with the move.
There will be 30 inpatient beds,
Murray said, and the facility will
still feature emergency services.
However, she said, the facility will
cease housing patients overnight.
“This decision was made in
closed-door sessions with no community involvement and without
discussions with local elected officials. It was based on a consultant’s
report that contained no evaluation
of the potential to sell the hospital
and the campus,” said Laurel Mayor
Craig Moe.
There are concerns about the
“tremendous impact” on the safety
and well-being of the residents in
northern Prince George’s County,
Moe said, as well as surrounding areas. Because the facility is downsizing, there will be jobs lost as well, he
said.
Moe questioned whether the

Baltimore burns as riots plague city
Holden Wilen
Managing Editor
APRIL 30 - BALTIMORE Fires burned and stores got looted
as anger and violence escalated in
the city on the day Freddie Gray
was laid to rest.
Maryland Governor Larry
Hogan declared a state of emergency Monday evening and deployed 500 members of the National Guard after rioting on
Tuesday led to the arrest of more
than 200 individuals and 19
building fires. CNN reported
more than 140 vehicle fires and at
least 15 wounded officers.
“As the state aggressively
takes action to restore peace and
order in Baltimore City, I want
the citizens of Maryland to know
that the state is fully engaged on
all levels,” Hogan said.
City residents protested in
the wake of the death of Freddie
Gray, a 25-year-old black man
who died a week after Batlimore
police arrested him on April 12
following a foot pursuit through
several complexes. Gray suffered

crushed voice box while in police
custody.
Protestors found themselves
at odds, with some calling for
peace and others resorting to violence.
At about 3 p.m. Monday af-
ternoon, protestors gathered at
Mondawmin Mall, looting the
stores and engaging more than
100 police officers dressed in riot
gear. The riots moved south, with
residents setting a CVS store on
fire at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and North Av-
enue in West Baltimore. There,
firefighters worked to put out the
blaze while police set up riot
lines at each of the surrounding
sides of the intersections.
Residents stood within inches of officers, yelling profanities
and racial slurs. Other residents
stood by, pleading with their
neighbors to stop the violence.
Another man stood between the
officers and the protestors to
pray.
D. Watkins, a resident of Baltimore, said it disappointed him
to watch his city get destroyed,
but residents need answers after
losing one of their own.
“Hopefully (officials) see
things need to change, but it
doesn’t come with us burning the
city to the ground,” Watkins said.
However, Hogan said violence would not be tolerated.
“I have put the Maryland National Guard on alert so they can
be in position to deploy rapidly as
needed,” Hogan said. “I strongly
condemn the actions of the of-

Baker delays opening of District 7 police station
By Michael Sykes, II
Staff Writer
JULY 30 - UPPER MARLBORO – The Prince George’s
County Police Department become a casualty of budget cuts
made to the 2016 fiscal year budget after County Executive Rushern Baker III decided to delay the
opening of the new District 7 station until next year.
“Due to lack of money avail-
able for staffing due to the county
council’s fiscal year 2016 budget
reductions, the District 7 police
station opening has been postponed until September 2016 at
this time,” Baker said.
County officials had originally planned to open the District
7 station, which will be located in
Fort Washington, later this year.
The main reason behind the
delay for the opening, according
to Barry Stanton, chief adminis-
trative officer of public safety for
Baker, is that with a two percent
reduction in funding for all agencies across the county, the PGPD
had to cut $9 million in funding
and could not fund two of their
three police academies. As a result, Stanton said, there are not
enough officers available to man
the station.
“We’re not able to staff the
station at this point,” Stanton
said. “We don’t have the funding
to train these officers. The academies cost about $1.3 million for
50 officers. That money was
geared to help staff our academies so we could staff District 7
in the coming months.”
Police Chief Mark Magaw
had previously touted the benefits
of the new police station during budget discussions in 2014 and

Century of firefighting: Hyattsville Fire Department turns 100
Each week The Sentinel visits a
memorable story from its archives.
The Hyattsville Volunteer Fire
Department, one of the four oldest
volunteer departments of the 37 in
Prince George’s County, celebrates
its centennial this month. In the
midst of an anniversary banquet
and ladder truck dedication this past
week, the department looks back on
a past of simplicity and community
involvement and looks forward to a
future of high skill levels and more
demanding fire calls.
Firefighting has changed since
the Hyattsville department formed
100 years ago. In a tanker accident
30 years ago, firefighters could
taste the spilled liquid to determine
what it was, often “Coke, milk, or
water.” However, today they
wouldn’t dream of tasting the liquid, which could be “pesticides, insecticides, or toxic byproducts,”
said Tony DeStefano, Prince
George’s County Fire Department
public information officer.
Francis X. Geary, a Hyattsville
Volunteer during the years 19431965 and 1974-1978 who worked
up the ranks from private to presidents, said, “Every new invention
creates a problem for fire suppression.” He named plastics, chemicals and solid fuels as some of the
products which have considerably
changed firefighting techniques.
Consequently, firefighters’
training has changed significantly.
Firefighters who could be trained in
two to 20 hours previously are now
put through a background check,
physical exam a 32-hour new recruit class, and approximately 140
to 60 hours of training, according to
Hyattsville chief Donald “Doc”
Moltrup.
The department traces its beginnings to a much simpler time,
when Hyattsville residents raised
$27 for their first fire engine and
had the first call on Oct. 6, 1888 for
a fire at the home of Addison Smith,
along the west side of the Baltimore
Perusing Prince George’s is The Sentinel’s weekly blotter of noteworthy events that
have happened or will happen in the area.
In Memory of Eva C. Malouf
On December 19, 2015, Eva Catherine
Malouf, the beloved wife of Dr. George Salim
Malouf for 66 years, passed away.
Eva was the loving mother of Carol Mufarrij, George Malouf, Vivian Zalzal, and Alan
Malouf.
She was also the loving grandmother of
Patrick, Paul and Philip Mufarrij; Marc, Dena
and Stefanie Malouf; Habib and Pierre Zalzal;
and Charles and Robert Malouf.
Lastly, she was the loving great grandmother Madelyn, Mackenzie, and Jack Mufarrij.
Eva was also the sister of the late Antoine
Fraiji and family, and the late Elie K. Fraiji and
and Ohio Railroad.
Geary, who recounted the fire
department’s history in a book he
wrote called “Fire Call,” said that
during the early years the volunteer
firefighters had help from community women, men and children who
passed buckets of water to the volunteers. Later this system passed by
the wayside when Prince George’s
County volunteers firefighters got
together to invent a booster tank
truck which carried its own water.
Probably one of the most significant changes affecting all county volunteer fire departments did
not come until 1970 when the county changed its form of government
from a county commission to a
county council. As part of this
change, the county, rather than individual municipalities, poured tax
dollars for firefighting into the centralized county revenue pot and began controlling the fire department’s budgets.
At this time, all departments

The family received friends at Joseph

were also placed operationally under a county fire chief, said DeStefano. Paid staff, which began to appear in local departments in 1965,
started to work for the county fire
department after 1970.
While they could still raise
funds on their own, the volunteer
fire departments lost control of
most of their budgets. In Hyattsville, the department, which
raises $10,00 to $13,000 itself
through fund raising, receives
$25,000 from the city of Hyattsville
and $7,500 from the county. It also
receives approximately $50,000 in
indirect aid from the county in the
form of centralized services, such
as truck maintenance, said Moltrup.
Also, more integration of paid
and volunteer staff began in 1970.
The volunteers realized that they
could not handle many daytime
calls and that they needed paid
staff. Today, the Hyattsville department has 11 full-time paid career
personnel and 45 volunteers.
Applications are now being accepted
for the 14th annual Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE: NOC) Engineering Scholars competition, which will provide
$240,000 in college scholarships across
Maryland in 2016 to promising high school
seniors interested in studying engineering.

County-wide the volunteer count
has remained relatively steady
since 1975 at approximately 1,000
but career staff have grown from
approximately 400 to 700, according to DeStafno.
All the changes have made
volunteer firefighting less appealing to potential new recruits. The
county does have a volunteer recruitment officer who gives slide
shows at area high schools to attract new recruits. However, as
DeStefano points out, “It is hard to
get volunteers and hard to keep
them.” The training regiment “discourages all but the most dedicated,” said Moltrup.
The volunteer firefighter positions were “handed down from father to son” in the past but they
may “go out of existence” in the
next 10 to 20 years, said Geary.
Predicting a full paid staff in the future, he said that skill and technology demands are so great that “we
must face reality.”

Laurel Regional Hospital to become outpatient facility by 2018
From “Hospital” page 1
is being used to justify the need for
the county’s new regional medical
center.
“I believe this action is a direct
result of poor leadership and management on the part of Dimensions
Healthcare System,” Moe said. “I
support the Prince George’s Regional Medical Center plans but not
at the expense of closing the full
service Laurel Regional Hospital.
The Laurel-Beltsville area and
Prince George’s County residents
deserve better.”
Some scenarios featured the
hospital operating in its current
configuration, or the “status quo,”
Murray said. Other options featured
the hospital retaining a small number of inpatient beds, she said. The
option they chose, she said, would
convert the hospital to an ambulatory services facility.
“Those were the three options
that were studied in detail,” Murray
said. “The first two scenarios that
Kaufman Hall calculated would’ve
resulted in continuous multi-million dollar financial losses and it
would’ve resulted in an inability to
invest in needed capital improvements.”
Though it would have resulted
in an inability to invest in improvement funds, Murray said, the decision to downsize and change the
Laurel Regional Hospital’s operation “is totally separate” from planning for the proposed Regional
Medical Center in Largo.
Dimensions declined to share
the Kaufman Hall recommendation
report with the Sentinel, Murray
said, due to the proprietary information in the report regarding Dimensions Healthcare system. This
decision, she said, is consistent
with the state health center’s goals
of enhancing the population’s
health.
The loss of jobs at the Laurel
Regional Hospital is very unfortunate, County Executive Rushern
Baker III said. However, the
changes that have been approved
“better positions” the healthcare
system to thrive in the future.
“The steps taken by the board
for a new ambulatory care center
will better position the system to
provide the needed health care to
the Laurel community in a more
specialized nature,” Baker said.
“Especially in the light of the ever
changing and competitive health
care industry.”

In early August, the Dimensions Healthcare Group announced it would be
downsizing Laurel Regional Hospital. Councilmembers and citizens alike
questioned Dimensionsʼ trasparency, or lackthereof, and fought against
the group. Today, the closure has been postponed and state officials
proposed an emergency piece of legislation in September that would
grant the county council power to block Dimensionʼs decision.

2015. However, when The Sentinel asked police department officials about their reaction to Baker’s decision, they refused to comment.
“I don’t know how many ways
I can say this, but I am going to refer you to the county executive’s
(public relations) team,” said Julie
Parker, a spokeswoman for the police department. “This is what
we’ve been instructed to do.”
Councilwoman Karen Toles,
whose district includes Suitland
and Temple Hills, said the council
had made sure to leave enough
money to ensure the new police
station could open. Baker’s announcement came as a shock, she
said.
Blaming the council, Toles
said, is reckless and misleads to
the public.
“The county executive has to
write the check,” Toles said. “He is
the one who writes the check to
pay the bill. That is his responsibility. To put it on the council is a flat

County Executive Rushern Baker III cuts the ribbon to officially open the
District 7 police station on Dec. 9. In late July, Baker orignally said the
opening of the station would be delayed to due an inability to fund the
training of the officers that would staff the station. After a lot of back-andforth over the last few months, the station is expected to be fully staffed
by February of 2016.
out lie and he’s misleading the
public once again.”
The crime rate in District 7
has continued to drop, said Scott
Peterson, a spokesperson for Bak-
er. The crime rate has fallen by 11
percent from last year, he said, and
violent crime has decreased 20
percent.
“The police in District 7 have
done a great job reducing crime
and they’re going to continue doing a great job,” Peterson said.
“The police station is not going to
impact current service. It is just
going to increase the impact of the
enhanced service that would be at
that police station.”
Baker made the council aware
the police station’s opening could
potentially be delayed because of
the reduction to the police department, Stanton said.
In a letter to the council on his
initial veto of their proposed budget, Baker said there could potentially be a delay in the station’s
opening.
“In order to stay within the approved budget established by the
county council, we will likely need
to move out career fire/EMS personnel from various fire stations,
defer the opening of the District 7
Police Station, cancel the new public safety recruit classes and not
fill critical positions,” Baker said
in the letter.
Still, Toles said, instead of
opening up the District 7 police
station, Baker would rather move
the county offices to a $21 million
building in Largo. Recently, Toles
said, the county purchased property at 1301 McCormick drive in
Largo and Baker made plans to
move there. It is unaffordable and
irresponsible, she said, and the
council withheld funding to refurbish the building in order to spend
on other priorities.
“This (police station) should
not be put on the backburner so
that he can have a new, luxurious
county administration building,”
Toles said. “I don’t know where it
is coming from. He told the taxpayers that we didn’t have any
money. We had difficult decisions
to make during budget season. He
allocated $12 million to refurbish
this building that the council did
not know he purchased.”
Toles said the $12 million
could be used for staffing the new
police station, but Peterson said
the funding comes from capital
funds. The funding required to restore the police academy comes
from the operating budget, which

In addition to the National
Guard, Hogan deployed 400 state
troopers and announced the state
has received the aid of 300 officers from Pennsylvania, 150 from
New Jersey and 45 from the District of Columbia.
As evening set in, protests
moved into the city, while stores
across the city were looted. More
protestors came to yell at the officers while a Vietnam War veteran
stood between them and the line,
yelling at people to stop making
fools of themselves.
A pharmacy down the road
from the police lines at North Avenue got looted, without any officers making an attempt to stop
the destruction. Employees at a
grocery store a few blocks away
could be seen boarding up the
store after it got looted, while one
of the store’s own security guards
looted the Rite Aid next door.
Lisa Mills, a lifelong resident of Baltimore who brought
her young grandson to the intersection by the CVS store, said it
broke her heart to watch the destruction of the city.
“Where are we going to
shop? Look at how many people
are going to be out of work and
lost their jobs because of the
stores (getting destroyed),” Mills
said. “I’m ashamed. I’ve got to
live with this (situation). This is
the result of a bunch of ignorant
people without respect for themselves. It’s really sad.”
Mills said she understands
and agrees with the anger that
residents have, but they should
protest peacefully. She also expressed disappointment with the
police, saying she would like to

“This is beyond the officers
though,” Mills said. “We need to
elect officials that will rewrite the
laws. We need the police to be policed. We need better laws in
place so people will be held accountable for what they do.”
To help city police, jurisdictions throughout Maryland sent
aid, including police departments
from Prince George’s, Montgomery and Howard counties.
Earlier in the day Baltimore police sent out an alert that rival
gangs had aligned together to kill
police officers.
Lt. Jarriel Jordan, a
spokesman for the Prince
George’s County Police Department, said the department sent 30
officers to Baltimore to assist
with the situation. At least one armored vehicle from the county
was spotted in the city.
So far, Jordan said, the county has not received any threats in
Prince George’s.
“It is a Baltimore situation,
so it hasn't gotten back to us yet,"
Jordan said. "30 officers are up
there assisting in a supportive
role. We were there for support
but nothing more."
Meanwhile,
Baltimore

the Baltimore Orioles canceled
their game against the Chicago
White Sox.
Some protestors even threatened journalists. They told a Sentinel reporter to leave with his
camera or else “it will be taken
away.”
Rashida Ford said Baltimore
needs to “really invoke change”
so there is mediation between
those who are angry and those
who are trying to organize. Another resident, Will, said he believes officials need to look at
themselves in the mirror, or else
incidents such as Gray’s death
and those of other young black
men in Ferguson, Missouri and
New York City that made national
headlines will continue to occur.
“The mayor and the rest of
the city really need to ask themselves serious questions. Are they
going to protect the lives of these
six crooked police officers or
watch the city burn to the
ground?” he said. “…What happened here is not an isolated incident. It’s everywhere. A revolution is coming and we have to be

conditions, liens, restrictions and agreements of record which are
senior or superior to the aforementioned Deed of Trust, if any, including any condominium and HOA assessments, and to the
rights of any party occupying the premises. The terms of the sale
require a non-refundable cash deposit or a certified check in the
amount of Thirty-Five Thousand Dollars ($35,000.00) at the time
and place of sale, except that no deposit shall be required of the
present beneficiary of the Deed of Trust which is the subject of

Trust is the purchaser, a credit will be allowed for the debt secured by the Deed of Trust. Interest shall be paid on the unpaid
purchase money at the rate provided by the Deed of Trust Note

abatement of interest in the event that additional funds are tendered prior to settlement or if settlement is delayed for any reason.
Settlement will take place within thirty (30) days after final
ratification of the sale by the Circuit Court of Prince George’s
County, Maryland, time being of the essence. In the event that
the purchaser(s) fails to go to settlement as required, the entire
deposit may be forfeited and the Property resold by the Substitute
Trustees at the risk and cost of the defaulting purchaser, or the
Substitute Trustees may avail themselves of any legal or equitable remedies against the defaulting purchaser. In the event of a
resale, the defaulting purchaser shall be liable to the Substitute
Trustees and secured party for reasonable attorney's fees and expenses incurred in connection with all litigation involving the
Property or the proceeds of the resale. Taxes, water rent, other
municipal liens and charges and all other public charges and assessments payable on an annual basis shall be adjusted to the date
of sale and assumed thereafter by the purchaser. Condominium
and homeowners association fees and dues, if any, shall be assumed by the purchaser from the date of the sale. Costs of the
documentary stamps, transfer taxes, document preparation and title insurance shall be borne by the purchaser. Risk of loss will be
upon the purchaser from the date and time of sale.

If the Substitute Trustees are unable for any reason to convey
good and marketable title to the Property, the purchaser’s sole
remedy shall be limited to a refund of the purchaser’s deposit.
Upon the refund of the deposit, the sale to the purchaser shall be
void, and the purchaser shall have no further claims against the

Skins’ Williams named to Pro Bowl Men’s basketball around
By Craig Lee
Special to The Sentinel
LANDOVER – The National
Football League recently announced
its selections for the 2016 Pro Bowl
and the Washington Redskins’ Trent
Williams is one of them.
Williams, a Redskins offensive
tackle, will make his fourth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance when he
partakes in the annual all-star game
on Jan. 31 in Honolulu’s Aloha Stadium.
Williams, drafted by the Redskins in the 2010, has sought improvement in his game each year.
“I feel more comfortable with
the game in,” Williams said after his
first selection in 2012. “I’m older.
I’m learning more. I am still a
young guy, but your third year in,
you’re considered a vet. I feel like
it.”
Now with five years under his
cleats, Williams sustains his abilities in order to help his team suc-
ceed. He lost nearly 20 pounds this
offseason and it has really paid off
for Washington’s offense this year.
It came at a time when Williams entered rehabilitation for an ankle injury. Ironically, he tweaked his ankle in last years Pro Bowl practice.
Although his injury was noticed at
that time, Williams admitted that “it
has been an on-going thing.”
“If there's one guy on this team
I feel good about playing through an
injury, it'd be Trent," Washington
Redskins Head Coach Jay Gruden
said.
The Redskins’ offensive line
has seen improvements in their
sacks allowed each year since
Williams has anchored the line. It's
been a grind to get the number of
sacks allowed down to a minimal
effect, a problem that has hovered
over this organization for years.
So far this season Washington
has given up just 26 sacks – good
for seventh in the league. It is a stark
improvement over last year to say
the least, as the Redskins surrendered 58 sacks last year. That number was good for second-to-last.
The certainty of Williams' 2016
season is one that isn't questioned at
the moment, as he signed a five-year
contract extension worth $66 million before this season.
“I just really can't see another
team being a fit for me the way
Washington is," Williams said before the deal was sealed. “Whether
it is Robert (Griffin, III) or Colt
(McCoy) or Kirk (Cousins), you
don’t want to see any of the quarterbacks hit the ground.”
Accompanying Williams in the
upcoming Pro Bowl from Washington will be linebacker Ryan Kerrigan and tight end Jordan Reed.
“I'm kind of an on-field coach
a little bit, shedding knowledge on
the young guys," Williams said.
"I'm extremely excited to have this
award for the fourth time and it
couldn't have come at a better
time.”

Skins Santa Shoppe creates
memories for 200 students
By Craig Lee
LANDOVER – The Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation
partnered up with the U.S. Marines
and a few Redskins players to host
their annual Skins Santa Shoppe at
FedExField on Dec. 14.
The third level of the building
gathered 100 students from Prince
George's County’s Ardmore Elementary School and Apple Grove Elementary School, along with 100 students from Thomson Elementary
School and Cleveland Elementary
School, from the District of Columbia. With a warm welcoming from
players, marines, WOW (Women of
Washington) Wives and Santa Claus,
the children were guided through various activities.
Upon arrival, students were
served lunch by the players and
marines. From there, the schools
were broken down into groups and
were led into the team locker room.
To the students’ surprise, the
locker room was transformed into
Santa's toy shop. Students found their
names labeled above the individual
lockers with a gift inside. The kids
wrote letters to Santa, while listing
out a few of the gifts they wished to
have for Christmas. As the kids sat in
the lockers, they opened their gifts after a countdown by Santa.
“Whether the children are in
Kenya, Prince George’s County, or at
FedExField, it is just the most wonderful thing one could ever ask for,”
Santa said, as a variety of gifts filled
the room and the children’s broadened their smiles with excitement.
The kids weren't the only ones
who received gifts at the event. The
players were transformed into kids,
as they were wrapped up in crepe paper and made into replicated Santas.
“Don't leave without helping
pick up guys,” said long snapper
Nick Sandberg, as he shook the
crepe-paper off his body.
Jamison Crowder transformed
into a younger version of himself,
having just as much fun as the chil-
19
dren.
“I'm excited to be here and I'm
sure the kids are excited to be here as
well,” Crowder said. “When you're
younger, Christmas is everything.
When you get a little older you kind
of get away from that. Coming to an
event like this, it puts you back in that
mood. It takes you back to when you
were a young kid.”
After modeling their new crepepaper Santa outfits, the players took
group pictures with the students before moving on to the next station. In
unison, the players and children sang
the words “Go Redskins!”
Amphora Bakery of Virginia donated cupcakes to the event and had
the kids decorate their own cupcakes.
“This is the best cupcake ever!”
shouted Azim Blowe of Thomson Elementary School.
The Washington Redskins
Cheerleaders added to the elation by
taking pictures with the students and
players in a photo booth. The photos
that were taken were crafted into a
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
framed memory.
Justin Toledo of the U.S.
Marines has been in service for six
months. It was his first time doing a
holiday event.
“This is the first time I've done
this. I'd say it's a pretty good experience,” Toledo said.
This year's event is a little different than previous ones. Executive Director of the foundation, Jane
Rodgers, climbed the ladder of creativeness this year.
“Each of these 200 students really experienced FedExField in a personal way,” Rodgers said. “We
thoughtfully put together a two-hour
experience for them that we feel epitomizes Christmas.”
She described the day as “simply magical” and added “every child
that walks through, you can sense
their appreciation and wonderment
for the holidays.”
It was evident as Christmas
tunes played from the stereo and the
kids bounced around from station to
station, creating memories.

Davis has committed to Hofstra University and has been

transition game, Davis also reads
spacing, attacks the rim, and finishes in traffic. Her lack of a mid

her at the next level.
A first team all-Maryland
player, Charles has a decent midrange game and the height to
make her a force in the paint and

the dribble and will be a future
Lady Terrapin after she graduates.
The scouts at ESPN gave her a
grade of 97 entering her senior
year.
One of the most coveted positions in basketball is the “stretch 4,”
which is a forward with the ability to
stretch the defense with shooting
range. Croskey can do just that, as
she possesses a consistent jump shot
and runs the floor well in transition.

Washington sports pull off trifecta
By Shawn McFarland
Managing Editor
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The
city’s three winter sports teams
pulled off the trifecta on Dec. 26, as
the Capitals, Redskins and Wizards
each won on the same day. The feat
was last accomplished by the three
teams 32 years ago.
The Capitals defeated the Mon-
treal Canadians 3-1 to continue their
best start in franchise history. The
Caps currently stand at 26-6-2,
which is good for 54 points - 10
points ahead of the second-place
New York Rangers.
The Redskins knocked off the
Philadelphia Eagles 38-24 to clinch
the NFC East. The Skins will be the
NFC’s No. 4 seed, and as of Sunday, would play the Minnesota
Vikings in the first round of the
playoffs.
The Wizards topped the
Brooklyn Nets 111-96. It has been a
down year for far for the Wiz, who
sit in 11th place in the Eastern Conference.
Ironically, the only other trifecta possible, between the Capitals,
Wizards and Nationals, was accomploshed earlier this year on April 22.

Skins beat up on Eagles 38-24 to capture NFC East title
By Daniel Kucin Jr.
Sports Editor
PHILADELPHIA – Three
weeks ago, the Washington Redskins were 5-7 and didn’t know
which way their season was going to
go.
Fast forward 19 days later to
Saturday night and the Redskins
found themselves capping a recent
three-game winning streak by throttling the Philadelphia Eagles on the
road, 38-24. The Skins also put a
bow on the victory and presented the
city of Washington with a late
Christmas gift – an NFC East championship.
“This is the happiest I have ever
been as a football player,” Redskins
quarterback Kirk Cousins said, who
threw four touchdowns on the night.
“I think it’s safe to say that the tables
have turned. It is pretty satisfying.
There is a lot more to go, but I feel
fortunate for where I am and the
guys that I have around me.”
Despite the great performance,
Cousins made a blunder that could
cost Washington points – and potentially the game.
Up by six points right before
halftime, Cousins got ready to run
one last play and possibly go up by
two scores. However, Cousins had a
brain-freeze moment and gave the
Eagles life as he took a knee while
the final six seconds drained to zero.
After, Philadelphia Head Coach
Chip Kelly said Washington gave
his team a chance to get back in the
game, however the Redskins’ decision to defer the kickoff until the
second half proved to be beneficial
following the prior circumstances.
“There was a lot of confusion
and the bottom line is that I need to
kill it or throw the ball out of the
back of the endzone. We were lucky
it didn’t come back to hurt us,”
Cousins said about the kneel-down
gaffe. “In the game of football you
have to be resilient. It is never going
to be perfect, so you just have to find
ways to keep playing and focus on
the next play. It wasn’t perfect, but
we just found a way.”
After a tight and contested first

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, right, celebrates with DeSean Jackson (11) and Trent Williams after scoring a touchdown earlier in the
season. Cousins carved up the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night to the tune of 365 yards and four touchdowns and in turn led the Redskins to the
NFC East division title. Jackson, a former Eagle, hauled in four receptions for 40 yards and wasnʼt quite sure why Philadelphia fans still feel hatred for
him after he was released by Head Coach Chip Kelly following the 2013 season.
half, Washington entered the locker
room in hostile territory with a concerted focus to just play their game.
Cousins continued to carve the Eagles’ defense up by hitting one of his
favorite receivers in Jordan Reed.
After Reed hauled in two touchdown receptions in the first half, he
continued to exploit Philadelphia’s
linebackers underneath. Reed finished the game with nine receptions
for 129 yards.
Cousins made up for his mistake quickly and led an 11-play drive
early in the third quarter. The drive
was capped off by a 12-yard touchdown pass to running back Chris
Thompson to go up 23-10.
Philadelphia showed resiliency
on its ensuing drive though, as running back DeMarco Murray slashed
into the endzone from four yards out
to trim the lead to six points.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford also had little
trouble against the 25th ranked defense. However, Redskins’ defensive back DeAngelo Hall made a
game changing play on the Eagles’
following possession and completely changed the tide of the game.
On third down in their own territory, Bradford rolled out to his
right and tossed the ball to Murray,
who fumbled it behind the line of
scrimmage. Hall had the wherewithal to sniff out the ball and scooped it
up for a 17-yard touchdown return to
take the wind out of the Eagles’ sails.
Cousins added to his memorable performance by hooking up
with Pierre Garcon for a 13-yard
score late to seal the win. The fourthyear signal caller finished the night
completing 31-of-46 passes for 365
yards.
Former Philadelphia Eagle DeSean Jackson had a quite game with
four receptions for 40 yards, but
every one of them was needed to
help take down the team that didn’t
have him in their future plans.
“Honestly, I don’t know why
the fans hate me so much here. It
wasn’t my decision for them to let
me go,” Jackson said after the game.
“I did nothing but great things for
this city and this community and I
played my heart out on this field. But
there can’t be any better way than to
get a win here to send them home for
the second year in the row. Numbers
and stats – I could care less as long
as we get the win. It is all that matters. They said we couldn’t do it.
Washington let’s get it!”
Washington will return to the
playoffs for the first time since 2012
when Robert Griffin, III and
Cousins were drafted under the
Mike Shanahan regime. The Redskins will play the Dallas Cowboys
in their final regular season game
next week, but for now they will be
looking forward to advancing deeper in the postseason.

Greenbelt’s proposed FBI facilty in “good standing”
Staff Writer
NOVEMBER 19 - GREENBELT – The General Services Administration (GSA) finally released
its draft environmental impact
statement for the consolidation of
the FBI headquarters and Greenbelt’s facility looks to be in good
standing.
Garth Beall, the project manager at Renard Development Company overseeing the development
and preparation of the Greenbelt
site, said there were not many surprises coming with the release of
the statement on his end.
As part of the project, the GSA
is asking for a two-mile gas line for
the building’s heating system, Beall
said, as well as the need for an onsite substation. The Landover development may need an on-site
substation as well, according to the
statement.
“If we have to do a substation,
it’s not that big of a deal. Same
thing with gas,” Beall said. “We’re
not entirely sure if those are required.”
Beall said they will look into
alternative forms of generating heat
and energy before they know if the
substation and pipe are both required. Either way, he said, costs
would not be substantial enough to
deter the project.
“It’s already a $2 billion project,” Beall said.
Unlike the other two sites, the
Greenbelt site is built directly on a
metro station. According to the
Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS), the Landover site,
which is being built on the site
where the Landover mall once
stood, the closest metro station is
the Largo Town Center metro station, which is nearly two miles
away from the site.
“GSA and the FBI have deter-

mined that if the Landover site is
selected, an employee shuttle to
(and) from the site would use the
Largo Town Center Metro Station.
As a result, this analysis evaluates
conditions at this Metro station,”
the document said.
Traffic also proved to be an issue for the Landover site. Current
traffic operations at the four intersections surrounding the site are
operating at a “currently unacceptable” level, according to the document.
“There were no planned roadway improvements within the Landover site study area to compensate
for the substantial number of vehicle trips added from the addition of
the planned developments,” the
document said.
At the very minimum, it said,
there would also need to be required changes to the interstate
ramps along the Capital Beltway
between the Landover Road and
Central Avenue interchanges.

Shutdown looming for county?
Staff Writer
JUNE 18 - UPPER MARLBORO – The Prince George’s County government faces “uncharted waters” and an impending shutdown
after County Executive Rushern
Baker III vetoed the County Council’s adopted budget, questioning its
legality.
Baker said he had “no choice”
but to veto sections of the budget because after a “comprehensive legal
review,” County Attorney M. Andree Green advised him the budget
does not comply with section 809 of
the county’s charter.
Section 809 of the charter prohibits the council from adjusting the
county executive’s proposed revenue estimates by more than one
percent. However, council’s adopted
budget decreased Baker’s original
proposal budget by 2.5 percent, he
said.
According to the county charter: “The Council shall have no power to change the form of the budget
as submitted by the Executive or to
alter the revenue estimates except to
correct mathematical errors, or, by a
vote of two-thirds of the members of
the full County Council, adjust the
revenue estimates by an increase or
decrease of no more than one percent.”
Baker originally proposed a
$3.62 billion budget that raised
property taxes by 15.6 percent to
fund a $133 million increase in
county funding for the school system. Earlier this month, the Council
adopted a $3.53 billion budget that
lowered Baker’s proposal by $92
million and raised taxes by 4 percent
in order to meet the requirements of
what Council Chairman Mel
Franklin said were “unfunded man-

OPINION
In support of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness
By Kenneth Haines
The second amendment of the
Constitution reads as follows, “A
well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,
the right of the people to keep and
bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The Founding Fathers, acutely
aware of both internal and external
threats to this nation’s existence,
envisioned no greater deterrent to
potential invaders of this continent
than the thought of provisioning an
army large enough to overcome an
armed populace in street-by-street
warfare. The idea is not without its
merits.
The issue before us is how do
we achieve the intent of national
self-preservation and negotiate the
distance between the phrases “well
regulated militia” and “shall not be
infringed.” With more than 30,000
victims of gun violence each year,
it is clear that we have dropped the
ball on the “well regulated” side of
the argument.
The right to throw your fist
ends where the nose of another begins, or so the saying goes. The
right to free speech does not extend
to yelling “Fire!” in a crowded
venue. Rights are not absolute; reasonable limitations on rights are
part of our social fabric.
Do not misconstrue any of this
commentary as “anti-gun.” My father provided venison and other
game to supplement the family
diet. He taught his son the power of
firearms and to respect them as
tools. My military service involved
qualification on small arms and
carrying them from time to time as
a Shore Patrol. It is definitely
preferable to have a firearm and not
need it, than to need it and not have
it.
It is nonetheless worrisome
that we are more stringent about licensing and registration of an automobile, the express purpose of
which is transportation, than we are
about a firearm designed with
killing in mind.
For many of us who grew up
believing that “gun control” constituted the ability to hit one’s target,
the carnage of recent years has
tempered our enthusiasm for unbridled second amendment rights. Too
many toddlers have killed themselves or others not to support the
idea of mandatory trigger locks.
Decades ago, nearly 60,000
people died each year on our nation’s roadways. Government imposed seatbelt and airbag regulations have dropped that number to
under 40,000. Can you imagine a
world with a 30 percent reduction
in gun deaths?
Polls suggest that a super-majority of Americans support the
idea of at least some incremental
changes in gun control laws. Let’s
resolve in this New Year 2016 to
inundate our legislators and the
National Rifle Association with a
call for common sense legislation
that better protects the fundamental
right of all to live and breathe.

Hyattsville City Council declines to
support Clay Property rezoning
By Candace Rojo Keyes
@candacerojo
HYATTSVILLE – After copious feedback from residents
and the recommendation from
city staff, the Hyattsville City
Council rejected The Marvin R.
Blumberg Company’s request to
support a rezone of the Clay
Property.
The request is part of a bigger plan for the property and was
presented to the council in November. During the presentation,
Chris Hatcher, who represents the
Blumberg Company, asked for
the city’s support of a proposed
land exchange and rezoning of
the Clay Property, a 12.87-acre
parcel in the northern sector of
the city.
The council unanimously
voted to stand in opposition to the
rezoning, but approved of the
land swap with the only dissenting vote from Councilmember
Paula Perry.
Hatcher said the property
owner saw an opportunity to develop the parcel, as it is part of
the developing Transit District
Development Plan, which includes the property within the
planning zone.
“Although we didn’t ask to
be a part of it, we’re certainly
happy. We think we can add to the
trans-district area,” Hatcher said.
Hatcher said the company is
in discussion with the county and
the planning department on a possible land swap. The actual
parcels of land set to be swapped
are ultimately up to the county
planning board. However, Hatcher said the company sought the
approval of the city council to
add weight to their proposal.
During the course of the following month, the city administration and staff discussed the
proposal from the property owner
and collected feedback from resi-
dents. Several residents came out
to the November meeting, as well
as the Dec. 7 meeting to voice
their opinions.
The proposal to change the
property from R-80 to R-20
would allow for increased development.
The Clay Property, currently
at R-80, can house approximately
58 single units. Rezoning to R-20
would allow for “single family
attached units,” also known as
townhouses, and would increase
the maximum density for such
homes to 16.33 per acre, making
the maximum for the property approximately 210 townhouses.
At the council meeting on
Dec. 7, James Chandler, the assistant city administrator and director of community and economic
development, said this increase
would greatly impact the area. He
said the difference in daily vehicle trips alone, between the existing zone and the proposed one,
would be a jump from 540 trips to
1,900.
At the meeting on Dec. 21,
the council broke the request for
support into two different motions, separating the rezone from
the land swap.
Councilmember
Patrick
Paschall said when he first saw
the proposal, he thought they
were a good compromise. He said
the land swap would allow for a
buffer for the historic Hitching
Post Hill, just north of the property, and allow the developer to develop the Clay Property.
However, after listening to
the community, he changed his
mind and said he would vote
against the proposed rezone.
“I haven’t heard a single resident that’s in favor of this. Every
resident that I have spoken to has
raised serious issues,” he said.
Paschall said there is no
guarantee the community’s concerns about road cut-throughs
and population density would be
addressed. He said the community’s concerns are “very legitimate” and the developer still does
not have an answer for them.
“I can’t support rezoning
without the community’s concerns being taken care of and
there’s no guarantee here,” he
said.
Councilmember Thomas
Wright said he agreed with
Paschall and he too, at first,
thought the proposal was a good
compromise. Wright said it is
probably time for residents of the
surrounding areas, such as University Hills, to acknowledge that
development is inevitable, but
they should fight for low-impact
development.
“I would love to see that remain all green, but I’ve come to
the reality of that probably won’t
happen. So, the next best thing is
a very low-impact kind of development on that particular tract of
land,” Wright said.
Wright said any development
on the Clay Property must compliment the current community
because, while the property is in
the TDDP zone, it is far north of
the Metro Station and the “downtown core.”
“This is not saying that we
don’t like this developer,” he
said. “This is saying, this particular piece of property owned by
this developer needs to be developed in a way that is complimentary to the community around it
and still be able to allow the owner to make some money on it.”
While the city council may
be against the rezoning, it is not
ultimately up to them. The final
recommendation will be made by
the county planning board. That
recommendation will then be presented to the District Council.
The District Council will then
make the final decision on the
matter.

GSA okay with Greenbelt, Landover still has work to do
From “FBI” page E-1
operate, the DEIS said the current
metro operation at the Largo Town
Center would be acceptable should
the GSA choose to operate at the
Landover location. Projected passenger loads are currently slated to
be below 120 passengers per car by
2022, according to the DEIS.
There are just five intersections in Greenbelt that currently operate at a condition that would be
considered unacceptable, according
to the document. However, at the
Landover site, there are 18 signalized intersections and just one
unsignalized section that would be
considered unacceptable.
Also, more parking would
need to be considered at the Landover site more so than the Greenbelt site according to the document.
There are 3,735 required parking
spaces at Greenbelt as opposed to
7,370 at Landover.
No matter what the site, public
officials said in a joint statement released last month, the FBI coming
to Prince George’s County would
be a positive for the state.
County Executive Rushern
Baker III released a statement,
along with Congressman Steny H.
Hoyer, U.S. Senators Barbara A.
Mikulski and Ben Cardin, and Congresswoman Donna Edwards (all
D-MD), in support of the GSA’s decision to consolidate the FBI headquarters.
“We are heartened by the explicit commitment made today by
the FBI, GSA and OMB (Office of
Management and Budget) to a full
consolidation of the FBI headquarters,” the statement said. “We also
encourage GSA to stay close to
their announced timeline and to
keep Congress apprised of any adjustments as they arise. Prince
George’s County is the best choice
for the FBI, and we will continue to
work together to bring this important economic development project
to Prince George’s County.”
The FBI and GSA announced
last month that the bid for the FBI
facility would need to consolidate
all 14 of the current facilities established throughout the District of
Columbia. Currently, according to
Kamara Jones, spokeswoman for
the GSA, the project’s award date is
scheduled to be in late 2016.
Because of the delay to release
the DEIS, which was originally
scheduled to be released earlier this
fall, the reward deadline had to be
pushed back.
“Projects of this size and complexity can be dynamic and adjustments are commonplace as a project of this scope and magnitude
moves forward,” Jones said.
The request for proposal release next month will be the final
and absolute requirements for each
site, according to Jones. They will
include the minimum standards and
the evaluation criteria used to determine which site gets the award.
However, Jones said, the FBI’s
program of specific requirements
are “national security sensitive and
will not be disclosed.”
County could face government shutdown if no budget resolution by July 1

dates” from the state legislature.
Thomas Himler, deputy chief
administrative officer of finance and
budget for Baker’s office, said the
vetoes restore $54 million in total
funding to get the budget to the one
percent threshold required by the
charter.
Once Baker’s office transmits
the veto letter to the council, the
council has one legislative day to
act, which would give the Council
until June 23 to make a decision. If
the Council votes to override the
line-item vetoes, Green said the judiciary would have to settle the conflict.
“It is my opinion, after extensive research on this issue, that without the vetos that the (County Executive) has proposed, the council
would not be in compliance with the
charter,” Green said. “The budget
would not be in compliance with the
charter and, would therefore, be an
invalid budget. And, at that point,
several of the department heads and
the tax payers would not know what
appropriate action to take. So at that
point there would have to be some
judicial action.”
The county must have a budget
in place by the time the current one
expires on June 30, or else the county could face a government shutdown. The council needs six votes to
override a veto, Green said. Should
they override the veto, the county
would be in an “unknown position.”
“We are hopeful and confident
that, if this should end up in court,
the judiciary system would act
quickly and would render a ruling as
to not put us in a position of not having an approved budget by July 1,”
Green said.
Officials from the Prince
George’s County Circuit Court did
not respond to repeated requests for
comment for this story.
For now, Baker said he will
wait to see what the County Council
decides to do before considering the
prospect of a government shutdown. Sustaining the vetoes, rather
than overriding them, he said,
would put everything “back in balance.”
“They have an option of sustaining the veto,” Baker said. “If
they don’t, then we’ll take the necessary actions after that. Let’s not
presuppose what they’re going to
do.”
Franklin said he and the rest of
the council remain “confident”
about the legality of their budget
process.
“Today’s veto by County Executive Rushern Baker III appears to
be an attempt to force the County
Council to impose a double digit tax
increase on the working families
and businesses of our County,”
Franklin said. “We are confident
about the legality of our budget
process, our message of investment
with fiscal responsibility, and will
continue to serve the best interests
of our residents.”
The veto would only undo $54
million of the council’s reductions,
Himler said, to meet the 1 percent
limit the charter imposes.
“They cut too much,” Himler
said. “The adjustments that are being made are to the estimated revenues. The majority of the restoration, and the majority of the cuts,
were in education. So you will see
some restoration of education funding in there.”
In previous years, the council

cent of the county executive’s proposed budget, Himler said. Only
over the last two years, he said, have
the Council and Baker struggled to
come to an agreement.
“That’s unfortunate, but I think
we’ll all move on from this,” Himler
said.
Baker said he has no bitter feelings toward the council, but the two
branches of government have “fundamental disagreements” about
what direction the county should go
in and how fast the county should be
going.
“I believe, given everything
else we’ve done over the last five
years in Prince George’s County,
whether that is public safety or
health, that education is that last
venue,” Baker said. “And I think
now is time we put a significant
amount toward education. They disagree with that. So it’s not personal.”

Local nonprofit provides STEM exposure
By Andrea Blackstone
@AndreaBlackston
SPRINGDALE – On Dec. 19,
a group of youth operated flight
simulators as Ben Walker, II, a senior who attends Charles H. Flowers High School, instructed them
on the fundamentals of flying an
aircraft at The Patriots Technology Training Center (Patriots).
The 17-year-old is a student
instructor who frequently assists
lead instructor, Johnny Martin,
with flight simulation workshops.
They are preparing other students
for a Flight Simulation Competition that will be held at Bowie
State University (BSU) on April
30, 2016 during the Patriot’s 19th
Annual Youth Summit on Technology.
Martin designs flight simulators at a company called Vencore,
Inc. and Walker’s interest in aviation and aeronautics began when
his father, Benjamin Walker, introduced him to flying. Additionally,
Walker was a part of the 2015
Charles Flowers High School
Flight Simulation Team which
won the Patriots’ grand prize on
April 10.
Tuskegee Airmen, a popular
group of black military pilots who
flew with distinction during World
War II, met students and their parents while visiting the Southwest
Airlines Training Center in Dallas,
Tx. During the three-day tour of
the facility, the team met Southwest Airlines pilots and had an opportunity to try their flight simulators.
Walker is currently working
on his pilot’s license and is focusing on supporting fellow Patriot
members.
“I show kids how to fly aircraft, from flying to taking off and
maneuvering,” Walker said.
“They learn very fast and they
adapt to new environments.”
Before this year’s upcoming
competition, six four-student
teams from Prince George’s County, Virginia and the District of Columbia will be mentored by avia-
tion and aeronautics industry leaders. Student teams are required to
complete a research paper about
aviation and aeronautics, create a
poster, fly a mission, and give a
five-minute presentation judged
by additional industry leaders.
Points are calculated to determine
which team will win the Flight
Simulation Competition.
“Anyone that’s interested in
an aerospace career, this is the
lane that you want to be in. In the
aerospace community, you can be
a pilot, you can be a mechanical
engineer, electrical engineer or
traffic controller. So all of these
jobs are available in the aerospace
community,” Thurman D. Jones,
Jr., president and founder of Patriots, said.
Approximately 400 fifth
through 12th graders are Patriot
members. Patriots is a nonprofit
organization which empowers students by building a road map toward Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) careers. It has provided 20,000
underserved and minority students
with opportunities to participate in
workshops, tournaments and
STEM-related competitions.
In addition to offering flight
simulation workshops, Patriot
members explore STEM areas that
interest them, such as video gaming, robotics, LEGO, solar system,
biomedical and cybersecurity offerings. A $50 Patriots membership is good for the whole year.
However, special activities may
require additional fees.
Jones – an entrepreneur and
Prince George’s County resident –
began pointing more African
American and Hispanic youth toward STEM careers through Patriots 19 years ago. He estimates between 70 and 80 percent of students who participate in Patriots
programs enroll in college and
pursue STEM-related careers.
“I found the best way to get
more students interested in STEM
careers is to do competitions because everyone is not an ‘A’ student. Most ‘A’ and ‘B’ students are
going to focus on STEM because
they know math and science. But
how about the ‘C’ and ‘D’ students
that want to get involved, but they
just feel it’s so tough? So that’s
why I came up with the focus of
doing competitions,” Jones said.
“The key to success is finding that
road map to get you on the road to
continue to reach your goal.”
Kenny Anyikude and his twin
brother, Kerry, are examples of
how Patriots training can impact
members through adulthood. Although the twin brothers graduated from Frostburg State University this year, they have remained
connected to the Patriots since the
sixth grade. Their mother signed
them up for a program one summer instead of allowing them to
get involved with basketball.
Kenny works as a desktop
support specialist. Kerry is now a
technical recruiter who works at a
staffing agency. The young men
give back to Patriots by helping
with competitions, mentorship
and program support. On Dec. 19,
they were busy setting up a Team
Viewer software lab. As a membership perk, Kenny and Kerry
will remotely assist Patriots who
have computer problems and will
teach members how to use it.
“After a billion years, we’re
here now at the age of 23, still,”
Kerry said, while pointing out
their long-term association with
Patriots.
In addition to Southwest Airlines and Vencore, Inc., Patriots
partners with the Federal Aviation
Administration, the United States
Department of Energy, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the U.S. Navy, the U.S.
Air Force, the U.S. Coast Guard,
Northrop Grumman (a technology,
aerospace, defense and IT company), and Lockheed Martin – a
global security and aerospace
company – to provide qualified
volunteers and offer effective
STEM programming.

Greenbelt sets sights on expanding Greenbelt Museum
By Candace Rojo Keyes
@candacerojo
GREENBELT – Nearly 29
years ago, the Greenbelt City
Council voted unanimously to
purchase 10B Crescent Road and
to establish the Greenbelt Museum. Now in 2015, the council
unanimously approved to draft a
resolution to purchase 10A Crescent to expand the museum.
At the city council meeting on
Dec. 14, the city held a public
hearing on the possible purchase
of the second half of the duplex
where the current museum resides.
10B Crescent was purchased in
1987 as part of the city’s 50th anniversary. The two dwellings are
the only ones at that address.
The museum was established
to acknowledge and preserve the
history of Greenbelt, especially
since the city was built as part of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s
New Deal in 1937. The city is one
of only three green towns, established during the Great Depression, dedicated to providing work
and low-income housing to struggling families and individuals.
The museum highlights this
through tours of the historic home
along with exhibits, educational
programs and public lectures on
the National Historic Landmark
planned community.
“The house at 10B Crescent
Road was seen from the beginning
as an ideal location for the museum. As part of a duplex, it would
have minimum impact on neighbors and would be close to public
facilities,” said Sandra Lange, an
original member of the Friends of
the Greenbelt Museum.
Lange said the original developers of the museum knew it
would be successful and has a vision for the building’s future and
of expansion. She said the museum is a showcase point for the city
and it attracts “visitors on an ongoing basis.” Now, the estate owners are in discussions to sell the
unit to the city for $200,000, according to city documents.
“With the acquisition of the
adjacent house at 10A Crescent
Road, the city has the opportunity
to be able to expand the resources
of the museum, by offering greater
educational and interpretive opportunities to residents, students
and visitors from all over the
world,” Lange said.
Megan Searing Young, the
museum’s director, said the expansion of the museum by purchasing
the adjacent building,will allow
for offices for the volunteers, interns and employees. By creating
space for the staff, she said the museum will be able to offer tours on
a more frequent basis and would
give space to accommodate larger
tours and for researchers.
“The unit also offers improved accessibility, which I can’t
emphasize enough.” Young said.
“We have many, many groups who
come who are not as able to walk
as some of our other groups, including special needs students, as
well as visits from senior centers
and places like that.”
Young said the time is now to
purchase the house, which has
been occupied for 59 years. She
said the current family has been
gracious, patient and understanding and the museum is not sure a
new tenant would be as gracious.
Coucilmember Konrad Hearling agreed and said the purchase
is an investment for the city and
the community.
“To me it’s the right time, it’s
the right opportunity,” he said.
Michael McLaughlin, the city
manager for Greenbelt, said if the
city approves of the purchases, the
Greenbelt Homes Incorporated
(GHI) Board must also approve the
acquisition. He said the executive
of the estate has been “very cooperative” and is understanding of the
process the city must adhere to.
“The city has numerous steps
that it has to go through to get approval,” he said.
Both units would remain in
the GHI and the city would continue to be a member. Currently the
city pays a monthly management
fee to GHI and would continue to
do so after acquiring the second
unit, McLaughlin said.
Mayor Emmett Jordan did
raise some concerns about parking
in the area, as there are only two
spaces available in front of the
building. He wondered if the city
would have to find additional
parking.
Young said the museum often
directs people to park in the first
row of the library parking nearby.
“It’s a very good question and
it is something we have considered. I think we will be able to
communicate where people can
park fairly well,” she said.
The house is currently a home
and will need some work eventually, McLaughlin said, to turn it
into a museum. He said the city
and the Friends of the Greenbelt
Museum group will have to identify and approve improvements as
needed and both will have to actively search for ways to fund the
building. The funding should
come from mostly outside
sources.
“The unit is perfectly useable
right now. It’s just not the way you
might want it for, for example all
this talk about was a visitor’s center. Take one of the rooms, put up
a big screen, put in some chairs
that aren’t living room chairs, but
ones that a visitor’s center might
have,” he said.
Councilmember
Edward
Putens moved to make a resolution to purchase the unit, which
was approved unanimously. The
resolution will come back to the
council in January and must go
through the GHI board as well.
Mayor Jordan said the city
will also consider creative financing while going through negotiations.

Oxon Hill student becomes county’s first Youth Poet Laureate
By Andrea Blackstone
@AndreaBlackston
CHEVERLY - Congratulatory cheers erupted when 17-yearold Dominique Holder was named
Prince George’s County’s first
Youth Poet Laureate (PGC-YPL)
on Dec. 21 at the Publick Playhouse in Cheverly.
After poets residing in Prince
George’s County ages 14 to 19
performed poetical selections,
one by one, Kiah Patterson, A’dora Willis, Dione Smith, Samantha
Jackson, Myah Hale, Leilani
Clendenin, Tai’won Gladden,
Emerson Garcia, Juwan Blocker,
Jocelyn Nolasco, Carolyn Felton
and Karen Villatoro were named
youth ambassadors who will represent areas where they live in
Prince George’s County.
“I’ve been writing poetry
since my freshman year of high
school,” Holder said. “It’s overwhelming, but it’s an overwhelming blessing. I’m just about to cry
because I didn’t expect this. To
know that I am going to be a published author is mind-blowing.”
The shocked student, who attends Oxon Hill High School,
won a book publishing deal with a
New York-based publisher called
Penmanship Books. The company
was created by a performance
poet and writer named Mahogany
L. Brown. Holder will be busy
working on her book that will be
available at the next competition.
While holding the prestigious title, she will participate in a reading tour at libraries and have opportunities to perform her poetry
throughout the country.
At first glance, the PGC-YPL
Finals could have been mistaken
for a poetry slam where original
work was presented to move the
crowd. However, the inaugural
event that was hosted by EZ
Street – a radio personality from
93.9 WKYS – was the opposite of
a pressure-filled lyrical contest.
Local youth who participated
were scouted at open mics, events
created by partners and at schools
over a three-month period. Those
who raised their voices creatively
about important issues and who
demonstrated characteristics
aligning with the PGC-YPL were
encouraged to apply to participate. By Dec. 21, the winner had
already been selected, before the
official announcement was made
public.
Seven esteemed judges previously assessed and rated the literary ability of each applicant,
their attention given to social issues, evidence of community involvement and future plans. Poets
were also required to submit bios,
audio and video clips. Although
Holder’s combined score was the
highest of all applicants, which is
how she was selected to become
Prince George’s County’s first
Youth Poet Laureate, the event
held in Cheverly was a celebration of each standout poet.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker, III formally recognized PGC-YPL by
proclaiming the week of December 20 through 26 the 2015 Youth
Poet Laureate Week in Prince
George’s County. Bringing the
unique program to the area is the
result of many partnerships, including Urban Word, NYC,
Lyrikal Storm and DIALECT of
Prince George’s County, LLC.
Urban Word is an award-wining
youth literary arts organization
with offices in New York City
and Los Angeles. The Youth Poet
Laureate program, which has
launched in numerous cities, integrates student civic engagement.
Urban World provides structure
through a template of the program that includes technical support, when organizations collaborate with them. Two literary leaders – Patrick Washington and
Neville Adams – currently serve
as executive managers of PGCYPL.
“Because I know of them
(Urban Word, NY), they approached me and said, ‘How
would you like to establish this
program in your area?’” Wash-
ington said. “All we had to do
was bring the kids to the program,
create the event and just be sure
to document everything.”
Washington, a Clinton resident, is a performance poet and
founder of DIALECT of Prince
George’s County, LLC, which is a
youth arts education company
specializing in conducting creative writing and poetry workshops in area schools and afterschool programs. Adams is a fellow poet who resides in the
District of Columbia. He is an
English teacher who works at
Parkdale High School in
Riverdale. The educator regards
poetry as a therapeutic outlet
which offers young people an opportunity to utilize their creativity, think critically and become accustomed to presenting in front of
an audience. Additionally, Adams
founded a performance based
spoken word and poetry group
called Lyrikal Storm and a nonprofit
organization called
Phoenix Medina Writer’s Project
Inc.
While Adams and Washington decided to partner for PGCYPL to reach more youth from
different parts of the county who
are interested in poetry, the program gained support from other
highly regarded poets such as
(Sistah) Joy Alford. She is the
founder of Collective Voices,
which addresses socially relevant
issues and challenges; producer
and host of Sojourn With Words,
a poetry cable television show in
Prince George’s County; and
president of the poetry ministry at
Ebenezer A.M.E. Church located
in Fort Washington.
Alford was a PGC-YPL
judge who felt that Holder’s qualities combined the skill of a
writer, yet illustrated her ability
and interest to become a public
servant, which are integral components of being a poet laureate.
“Certainly, one has to have
their own skills at a certain level,
but you also have to have that desire to bring to poetry what is

good for the craft itself, but also
how do you take that and use it
for the community? And when I
looked at (Holder’s) service for
the community, I felt it was a
good combination,” Alford said.
The dynamic program will
allow other talented youth to
share their talents during events
ranging from festivals to ribbon
cuttings, when youth voices are
needed locally, and if Holder is
unavailable.
“The remaining 12 (poets)
are still considered winners because they are going to be named
poet ambassadors for various
cities,” Washington said. “They
can take that title back to that
area and kind of draw some more
interest by getting other youth to
express themselves in spoken
word and writing.”

Stags stay unbeaten with blowout of Bishop McNamara
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
FORESTVILLE - The DeMatha Stags basketball team
continued their undefeated season as they moved to 7-0 with an
impressive win over Bishop McNamara, 86-59.
Standout guard Markelle
Fultz, who is averaging 19.7
points for the Stags, continued
that trend as he scored 20 points
in his team’s win.
“There's definitely a fire
telling me to work hard. You
have got to work hard," Fultz
said “I had to get more in an aggressive mode and get my teammates involved.”
The University of Washington commit had a very impressive stat line, as he added 13 assist and seven rebounds to along
with his 20 points.
Fultz also got help from his
teammates, as DJ Harvey and
Nate Darling finished the game
with 20 and 19 points respectively to help DeMatha jump to a 3726 halftime lead.
“We came out strong. I think
I could have done better, but I
came through when my team
needed me,” Harvey said.
Harvey also grabbed 12 rebounds as McNamara had no answer on the glass.
In the third quarter, the
Stags extended their lead to 6146 behind the team’s hot shooting. Darling added four threepointers in the contest and his
dead eye shooting only helped
extend his team’s lead. The University of Alabama Birmingham
commit added a stellar dunk as
he pumped faked a defender into
the air and drove to the rim.
“We were just looking for
our shots on offense,” Darling
said. “I’m a shooter and I got
space so I was putting it up.”
In the fourth quarter the
Stags ran away for good as they
outscored McNamara 26-13 in
the final frame.
“We’re feeling pretty good,”

for a jumper in the paint. Harvey had a solid game, as he finished with 20 points and 12 rebounds. DeMatha won the game, 86-59 to stay unbeaten on
the season at 7-0.
Darling said. “We’re not at the
level we think we can play at yet,
but once we get there we’re unbeatable. Once we get to our
best, it’s going to be fun to
watch.”
The Stags are already a lot
of fun to watch, as they are
loaded with some of the best talent the country has to offer.
Their domination of the area’s
other talented teams has put
everyone on notice whenever the
Stags come to play.
McNamara’s Jamir Moultrie
was the Mustangs’ only bright
spot on the night. The standout
guard created a highlight reel behind-the-back pass for an assist
to go along with his 23 points in
his team’s defeat. The Mustangs
have now fallen to 5-3 overall on
the season.
DeMatha will take its unbeaten record on the road to face
Westview, Oregon as well as
Montverde and Bishop Ireton to
ring in the 2016 year.

Happy New Year!
