FORESTVILLE – The county
is venturing into a new partnership
to benefit high school students
through a new initiative called
Ready for Work: Champions for Career and College Ready Graduates in
Prince George’ County.
Ready for Work was created
through County Executive Rushern
Baker III’s Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative (TNI) and Prince
George’s County Public Schools
(PGCPS) integrated support services. The program focuses on
equipping students with necessary
skills and knowledge for college and
career readiness after graduation.
Baker, along with Kevin
Maxwell, chief executive officer of
PGCPS, announced their partnership with Venture Philanthropy Partners (VPP) on Nov. 4 at Suitland
High School. They also announced
that, with help from Venture, the
county, businesses and nonprofits
have identified and raised $5 million
for the Ready for Work initiative.
The ultimate goal is $15 million and
an expansion into more schools.
Baker said VPP investing and
committing to the county is an extremely big deal. He compared their
work in the county to the possibility

COLLEGE PARK – Patrick
Wojahn is ready to bring College
Park together after a competitive
election season and victorious campaign.
On Tuesday, Nov. 3, the city of
College Park elected Wojahn mayor
with 1,267 of the 2,124 total votes
for in the mayor race. Mayor Pro
Tem Denise Mitchell received 857.
“I’m feeling great, I’m feeling
great. I’m really excited,” said Wojahn, who is the first openly gay
mayor elect. “This is going to be an
exciting couple of years and there’s
so much exciting things going on for
College Park right now. I’m really
excited to bring our city into the next
chapter and work to really transform
College Park.”
Wojahn and Mitchell participated in one of the most contested mayoral races in recent history along
side all of their colleagues, as every
seat on the council was contested
this election cycle. Both candidates
served on the city’s council previous
to this campaign and both had their
elected office to lose.

Patrick Wojahn, the winner of the College Park mayoral election, gives his
acceptance speech. Wojahn hopes to bring College Park together after a
contentious election cycle.
“It’s over, you know, the best
person won,” Mitchell said. “The
voters turned out. That’s the most
important thing. They expressed
their force with their feet.”
In total, 2,222 residents voted in
the citywide election. With 17,188
registered voters in College Park,
the voter turnout this year was 12.9
percent, the highest turnout since
2001. In 2013 the city’s voter
turnout was 9.1 percent, which was
up from 7.7 percent in 2011. The
highest turnout the city has ever seen
was 70 percent in 1983 when the
city’s population was near 4,300.
District 3 saw the greatest turnout
with 17.1 percent, while District 4
saw the least with 7.3 percent.
Wojahn said the voter turnout is
an indicator of the resident’s interest
and involvement in the future shape
of the city.
“It really shows the level of engagement we have amongst the residents right now and how excited, on
the one hand, and also somewhat
nervous about what can happen in
the future. Whenever you have
change, I think, it can be exciting
and it can be scary and I think there’s
some of both of that right now,” he
said.
Elsewhere throughout the city,
incumbents dominated their elections. In District 3, which had five
candidates vying for two seats, incumbents Robert Day and Stephanie
Stullich were reelected. Initial election results had Ryan Belcher and
John Rigg within range of staging an
upset through absentee and provisional ballots, however Day won his
council seat with 393 votes. Rigg
garnered 380, while Belcher tallied
370.

Incumbents victorious in Greenbelt Election

GREENBELT – The city of
Greenbelt has reelected all seven
members of the city council to two
more years in office.
As with the rest of the county,
Greenbelt is preparing for big
changes. With new developments,
expansion and the possibility of
housing the FBI all on the horizon
for the city, the elections held on
Nov. 3 selected the leadership to
guide the city through the upcoming transformation.
Each election cycle, the city
votes for a seven-member, at-large
council. Traditionally the city appoints the member with the most
votes mayor, with the second most
serving as mayor pro tem. Eleven
candidates campaigned for the seven spots, but in the end the incum-
bents came through the election
unscathed.
Emmett Jordan received 1,551
votes and Judith Davis received
1,411, effectively appointing them
to mayor and pro tem respectively.
Konrad Herling, Leta Mach, Silke
Pope, Edward Puten and Rodney
Roberts all had turnouts over a
thousand votes.
Despite total reelection of the
sitting members, Jordan said it is
unfair to lump all the incumbents
together.
“I hate to think of incumbents
as just one blind faceless group,”
Jordan said. “There’s a lot of experience and backgrounds on the
Greenbelt City Council. This will
be my fourth time on council, on

November 10, 1988
Hoyer, McMillen win handily
Each week The Sentinel visits a
memorable story from its archives.
Democrats Steny Hoyer and
Thomas McMillen were both victorious Tuesday in their bids to
continue as representatives in
Congress.
Hoyer, the incumbent representative from the fifth congressional district, handily defeated
his Republican opponent, John
Eugene Stellner. With all 138
county precinct returns in, Hoyer
held a 4-to-1 margin of victory in
the county. At one point in the
campaign, Hoyer had raised
10,000 times as much campaign
money as Stellner, a retired police officer who has run unsuccessfully for a number of public
offices over the past several
years.
Hoyer, who has represented
the fifth district since 1981, is

Should there be a Community Garden
in the City of Bowie?
Bowie residents are invited to offer their
thoughts on the need for a community garden
by completing an online survey on the city
website (www.cityofbowie.org). The survey,
which will be open from Nov. 2 to Dec. 7, is
being conducted to determine the desire of
Bowie residents to develop garden plots on
public land in the city.
A community garden is a location where
residents, without adequate space or sunlight
in their own yards, can plant fruit, vegetables
and flowers in a communal area. Water, fencing and garden materials are usually available
on site. Fees and participant volunteer hours
are usually required.
Any resident interested in having their
voice heard on this topic is encouraged to
complete the survey, which can be found at
www.cityofbowie.org/communitygardensurvey. City officials want to hear from as many
residents as possible regarding their thoughts,
pro or con, as to whether the city should embark on this project. To better reach those interested, they ask that respondents provide
name and contact information on the survey
form.

Blackout Dates for Lawn Fertilizer
The Maryland Department of Agriculture reminds citizens that fertilizer blackout
dates authorized by Maryland’s Lawn Fertilizer Law take effect Nov. 16 and run through
Bradlyn McClanahan in his second effort to return to Congress
for the second term. McMillen’s
victory, like Hoyer’s, was accomplished by a 4-to-1 margin in the
county. With all 33 county
precincts reporting, McMillen
registered 25,866 votes, while his
opponent mustered 6,472 votes.
McMillen, a former University of Maryland and Washington
Bullets basketball player, has
made a respectable showing in his
the month of February.
The law prohibits citizens from fertilizing their lawns with products containing
phosphorus and nitrogen during the blackout
dates. Lawn care professionals may apply nitrogen to lawns that they manage until Dec. 1,
using specially formulated products that reduce the risk of nutrient runoff into streams,
rivers and the Chesapeake Bay. Potassium
and lime may still be applied during the
blackout dates since they are not considered a
threat to water quality. Both citizens and lawn
care professionals may resume lawn fertilizer
applications containing nitrogen and phosphorus on March 1, as long as the ground is
not frozen or heavy rain is not predicted. As
an additional reminder, fertilizer may not be
used to de-ice walkways or other impervious
surfaces.

County joins with Venture Philanthropy
From “Schools” page 1
of the FBI moving to Greenbelt and
MGM casinos building in National
Harbor.
“You don’t get VPP to come
into Prince George’s County. They
never come here” Baker said.
“They’ve done projects in Virginia
and in D.C. but to get a major philanthropic organization to come here, to
bring nonprofit partners to Prince
George’s County and to start right
here at Suitland? It’s going to be
world changing.”
Baker believes VPP’s work in
the TNI areas will create an outward
impact and “will set a standard for
the nation.”
“We bring (the TNIs) up, the
whole county brings up and to have
VPP and the partners get that and to
locate it in those TNI areas means
that we’re focusing the resources on
where we can have the greatest impact,” he said.
Through the work with VPP
and other nonprofits, Baker said the
county is going to rise and garner attention.
“As other philanthropic organizations see what we’re doing here in
Suitland, they’re going to want to invest in Prince George’s County and
this is how it starts,” he said.
Maxwell said the school program, which started at Suitland High
School, is set to grow beyond the
school’s walls into the county because of the commitment of Venture.
“We’re grateful to Venture Philanthropy for committing to raise this
money for Prince George’s County
and to commit to supporting the
work here at Suitland and to expanding it to both Oxon Hill and High
Point High School,” Maxwell said.
“And brining the same kind of resources to students both from the far
north of this county to the far south
of this county and in between.”
The programs through PGCPS
will focus on a college preparatory
academic curriculum and a career
curriculum. The students will learn
project-based learning with realworld applications. According to the
Ventura, the Ready for Work initiative will support programs throughout the county dedicated to expanding the number of Prince George’s
County graduates who are ready for
college or a career. The money
raised through VPP’s efforts will go
toward career-readiness programs
throughout the county.
Maxwell said this work would
not be possible without support from
the local businesses and local nonprofits. He said, while the financial
support is a key factor to the program’s growth, local businesses also
give in other ways.
“We’re really thankful because
of the opportunities it will bring our
students for internships, authentic
learning experience opportunities,
and the support network they’re going to have as they get ready for their
work after high school,” he said.
A large focus of the programs,
Baker said, is making sure students
go off into careers.
“We want to make sure we up
the graduation rate of our kids, but
we also want to make sure those
children go off not only to colleges,
but careers,” he said. “Having the
mentoring, having the tutoring, having the training and access and exposing them to careers and colleges
is really going to make the differences.”
Laurie Peterson, from Peterson
Companies, is a member of the VPP
board and said these are the main
reasons they decided to come out to
Prince George’s County.
“Prince George’s County has a
very simple problem, but it’s a really
large problem, and that is young
people who graduate do not have
choices, and companies and employers in Prince George’s county
do not have a labor pool,” she said.
Peterson said what they’re doing is a simple: they want to train
young people and create opportunities.
“We really believe it is worth
our investment, and we believe it is
worth us asking investment from
other partners, other companies, other corporations,” she said.

College Park welcomes Wojahn as well as three others
From “College Park” page 1
The College Park City Council
will also welcome three new members to council; one to fill each seat
vacated by Mitchell and Wojahn and
a separate seat in District 4 where
Mary Cook (184 votes) and Dustyn
Burkart Kujawa (165 votes) both received more votes than incumbent
Alan Hew (131 votes).
With both incumbents and fresh
faces expected on the newly elected
council, Wojahn said his first plans
as Mayor will include smoothing
over any leftover tensions from the
election season and sitting down
with every council member to get a
feel for their goals for the next two
years.
“It’s going to be a challenge,”
Wojahn said. “I think, because the
council is somewhat divided right
now and my first challenge as mayor
is I’m going to have to bridge that divide.”
Some major plans for Wojahn
going forward, he said, is comprehensively working on transforming
the commercial areas in college
park, utilizing the city’s partnership
with the University of Maryland,
and actively pursuing public input in
the future look of College Park.
“I also want to work on maintaining and enhancing the quality of
services that we provide to residents,” he said.
As for Mitchell, she said she is
not done with serving the city yet.
“I’m going to get some rest,
that’s the first thing, regroup myself,” she said. “Like I’ve said, I’ll
be coming to council sessions and I
will be running again. This is only
one down. I will be back in two
years.”
Newly elected officials will
take their oath of office on Dec. 7.

who is actually serving 36 years.”
Jordan said each candidate for
the council takes a personal approach to the election and having 11
candidates allowed for constructive
conversations.
“There was a lot of vigorous
discussion about the issues that are
facing Greenbelt,” he said. “Everybody ran a hard race and talked to a
lot of people. In Greenbelt it’s very
much personal, the way that we run
for council. I think more often than
not it comes down to door knocking, really talking with people, interacting with people face-to-face.”
Of the 13,156 registered voters
in the city, 2,039 turned out for the
Nov. 3 election. The city had a total
election turnout percentage of 15.5
percent, with Precinct 6 touting the
highest turnout of 28.7 percent. The
lowest, 3.5 percent, was in Precinct
8.
Jordan accumulated the most
votes in each of the five precincts
and with the early voters. He said
he is continually honored by the
support he receives from the resi-
dents.
“I’m really flattered and honored that so many people put their
trust and confidence in my leadership. It’s been six years and I’m
looking forward to serving another
two years,” he said.
Jordan said he enjoys the job,
though it is incredibly difficult
sometimes, and he is ready to continue working hard for the city.
“I really do my best to be very
accessible. People know where I
live; I’m not hard to find,” he said.
“Serving as an elected official, it’s a
calling and I take it very seriously.”
Moving forward, Jordan said,
he wants to continue the city’s new
emphasis on community and economic development. He said the
city is fortunate in its location, it’s
stable economy and it’s community
environment, and he wants utilize
those strengths.
“We’ve always done well, but
from a municipal point of view,
we’ve never really put an emphasis
on being proactive and sort of looking forward and trying to attract
businesses and keep businesses
here. Desirable things, not just
businesses and associations but
nonprofits,” Jordan said.
Through his leadership and
the council’s leadership, he said,
the city has started to look into the
city’s potential and wants to start
attracting businesses owners and
residents to the city. As the city
moves forward in courting the
FBI consolidation, and residential
developments continue around
the Metro station, Jordan said,
Greenbelt is looking at an exciting future.
“There are some really great
things happening in Greenbelt,” he
said.
Westboro Baptist Church protests in front of White House
By Keziah Proctor
Special to The Sentinel
WASHINGTON – In the front
of the White House on a Sunday afternoon, one might see families taking a stroll, tourists taking pictures, a
guided Segway tour, and the sound
of laughter filling the air while kids
zoom past on skateboards.
This past Sunday on Nov. 8 was
no different.
It was about 3:45 p.m. in the afternoon and there was peacefulness
in the air. Then, unexpectedly, a
piercing sound went through a
crowd of people gathered together
just outside the front lawn of the
White House.
It was the tune of a familiar
song by Sam Smith, “Stay With
Me.” However, the lyrics were
rewritten with an odd ‘God hates’
message. The faces behind this lyrical parody were familiar – it was the
Westboro Baptist Church (WBC),
the infamous organization lead by
the Phelps family.
The WBC had just kicked off a
week-long tour in the tri-state area,
proclaiming their message of doom
to America. The White House was
their first target. They blamed President Barack Obama for opening the
door for the recent Supreme Court
decision allowing same sex marriage and policies.
“Of course we are obeying the
laws of this nation, namely the First
Amendment. We are not encroaching on (Obama’s) privacy,” Abigail
Phelps said.
Phelps, one of the daughters of
the founder, Fred Phelps, also made
a reference to the president being a
man of “low-degree.” She said they
were not bad mouthing the president, but telling the truth about him.
The WBC also plans on picketing at the president’s daughters’
school, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and a
Rockville high school to name a few.
Every picket is carefully calculated. Complete picket schedules are
posted each month on their online
website. Their main goal is to workthe media to their advantage for a
broader platform.
Nevertheless, Prince Georges’
County residents of a Baptist Church
in Upper Marlboro, Antioch Baptist
Church, made it clear that WBC is
not spreading the Word of God.
“They are being judgmental
and the Bible says not to judge,” He-
len Gilbert said.
Gilbert, who was just ordained
a minister at Antioch Baptist Churc,
resides over the youth ministry in
her church. Gilbert is also a former
service member in the U.S. Navy.
“They’re an organization. I
can’t even call them a church,
they’re an organization because they
are not following the Word of God,”
Gilbert said. “God loves everyone.
He wants to love everyone to life
and not to death.”
Rev. Tyrone Petty of Antioch
Baptist Church similarly believes
love draws and hate alienates.
“Jesus would not have run from
the gay community. Jesus would
walk right on up in there and say,
‘Hello, who’s got a house big
enough for us to throw a party,’”Petty said.
He said Jesus never shunned
anyone, but welcomed everyone
with open arms.
While the demonstrations by
WBC are widely unpopular, many
people agree WBC members are
merely exercising their rights as
U.S. citizens.
The Executive Director of the
American Civil Liberties Union,
Monica Hopkins-Maxwell, says the
beauty of democracy is not shutting
speech down, but fighting it with
more speech.
“It’s actually essential to our
democracy that these issues and conversations come out into the light,”
Maxwell said. “Controversial
protests are the price people will
gladly pay for living in a democracy
where individual expression is valued.

Maryland; except that no deposit shall be required of the holder of the
note secured by the Deed of Trust (or any controlled affiliate of the
holder; collectively hereinafter the "Holder") where the Holder bids on
the Property at the sale and payment of the purchase price by the Holder
shall be made by crediting the purchase price against the foreclosure
costs and expenses and the indebtedness secured by said Deed of Trust.
Interest shall accrue on the unpaid balance of the purchase price at the
rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the date of sale to the date
of Court ratification, and at the rate of twenty percent (20%) per annum
from the date of Court ratification to the date of settlement. No interest
shall accrue on the Deposit. Any and all rents due and payable after the
date of sale (but excluding any rents due and payable through the date of
sale) from leases of all or any portion of the Property will be received and
held by the Substitute Trustee as an accommodation only for the benefit
of purchaser pending closing with all of said rents to be credited to purchaser at closing without interest thereon or deduction therefrom. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, nothing therein contained shall be construed to oblige the Substitute Trustee affirmatively to
collect said rents. If the successful bidder (the “Purchaser”) fails to make
settlement within fifteen (15) days following the date of Court ratification, time being of the essence thereto, the entire Deposit may, at the option of the undersigned Substitute Trustee, be forfeited and retained as
liquidated damages and notice of said forfeiture shall be provided to the
Purchaser by the Substitute Trustee. If the Deposit is not forfeited as liquidated damages, but is instead retained by the Substitute Trustee in escrow pending resale of the Property, the Property may be resold by the
Substitute Trustee at the risk and expense of the defaulting Purchaser, and
the Deposit thereafter shall be applied as required to any subsequently realized loss of the Substitute Trustee by virtue of the default by the said
Purchaser and the required resale of the Property including any expenses
incidental thereto. All taxes, water, and other public charges and assessments shall be pro-rated on and as of the date of said sale and shall be assumed thereafter by the Purchaser. Following the date of sale, all risk of
loss to the Property shall be assumed by the Purchaser. The Purchaser
shall pay the cost of all recordation taxes, transfer taxes (including but
not limited to that agricultural land transfer tax imposed by Maryland Tax
Property Code '13-302; which said tax may be applicable to the sale and
transfer of the Property), document preparation and other costs of settlement. As an express condition of sale, the Purchaser shall be required to

Roosevelt advances past Bowie Lady Wildcats shut
out Panthers 1-0
By Shawn McFarland
Managing Editor
GREENBELT – The Eleanor
Roosevelt boys’ soccer team moved
one step closer to realizing its dream
of a state championship.
The Raiders (14-1-2) controlled
every aspect of their regional semifinal contest with Bowie Friday,
winning 5-0 in dominating fashion.
Roosevelt, the top seed in Section II
of the South Region, scored three
times in the first half to give itself a
lead it would never relinquish.
“The kids are very talented,”
said Roosevelt Head Coach George
Kallas. “We have a lot of good individual players and when they decide
to play as a unit they can do a lot of
positive things.
“We’ve had games where it
seemed like we had ten guys trying
to do their own thing. Today they
came together after they figured out
they actually had to play. We weren’t
really playing together in the beginning, but the goals started to snowball and that kept them going.”
The game was rather even to
start with both teams possessing the
ball evenly. However, after a little
while, Roosevelt’s speed and skill
started to show through.
The speed was evident on the
game’s first goal, as the Raiders’
Jonathan Romero booted the ball toward Bowie’s end from midfield.
Forward Baxter Hamilton timed the
ball in the air perfectly, waited to be
onside, and took off after the ball after it sailed over his head. Hamilton
tracked down the loose ball, corralled it, and tapped it under Bulldog
goalie Roberto Camacho as he slid
out in an attempt to dive on the ball.
A few minutes later it was
Lovet Cheg Ngeh’s turn. Ngeh
tracked down a loose ball to the left
of Bowie’s net and kicked the ball

and led the Raiders to a 5-0 victory.
while it was still about waist high.
Camacho got his fingers on the shot,
but couldn’t stop it from going into
the back of the net.
Ngeh then assisted on Roosevelt’s next goal. He dribbled between Bowie defenders and dropped
a pass off to teammate Roshawn
Panton. Panton received the pass,
boxed out his defender, and turned
and fired from the top of the box.
The shot went low to the left and
past a diving Camacho. The goal
made it 3-0 heading into the break.
“We played well today,” Ngeh
said. “Everyone was passing the ball
well. It was great. We just have to
continue to play like we did today.”
Albert James Smith and Joed
Ngangmeni rounded out the
Raiders’ scoring in the second half.
Smith scored off a deep shot following a turnover, while Ngangmeni
dribbled past a Bulldog defender and
fired one in with his left foot.
Bowie finishes the season with
an 8-8 record. Head Coach Frantz
Deetjen reflected on the season.
“I can’t be mad about the season at all,” Deetjen said. “We came
in injury-heavy. Then we had a few
spurts when we finally had everyone
together and we tried to make a good
push, but we got beat by a better
team today.”
The win advances Roosevelt to
the South Regional Finals against
third-seeded Parkdale. The two
teams tied earlier in the year and that
fact alone should serves as motivation for Kallas and his boys.
“I am going to remind them that
we didn’t win that game,” Kallas
said. “We made a ton of mistakes.
They made mistakes, we made mistakes. There were a lot of goals
scored on both sides because of errors. Both teams are probably going
to cut that out and hopefully it will
be a good game.”

RIVERDALE — The Northwestern Wildcats will return to regional finals for the second year in
a row after defeating the Parkdale
Panthers Friday afternoon in an extremely physical game.
“It’s the greatest thing ever for
these girls because they worked
hard and it’s about time that Northwestern has finally commanded the
attention and respect from the rest
of the county,” Northwestern Head
Coach Carla Benavides said. “So, I
couldn’t be happier with my girls.
They deserve it. They’ve worked
hard.”
In 2012, the Wildcats ended
their season 0-12. After two years
of building and pushing for
progress, the team made it to regional play last year with a 10-2
record. This year they boast a 10-21 record.
“It’s a real underdog story,”
she said. “And they always have
been.”
The game Saturday began fairly one-sided with Northwestern
taking double the shots on goal in
the first half. However, both the
Wildcat and Panthers' defense held
strong throughout the entire game
as only one goal was recorded.
That goal came from Northwestern’s powerhouse forward
Nancy Flores, who refused to shy
away from the goalkeeper throughout the game.
Typically, once the keeper has
the ball in their hands the opposing
team begins to back up to try and
trap the drop kick. Flores refused to
back down until she was sure the
ball was secure in the keeper’s
hands. Her determination paid off
midway through the first half when
Parkdale goaltender Shria Brahman dropped the ball after blocking a kick. Flores kicked through
Brahman’s hands to score what
would be the game-winning goal.
A previous goal from Flores in
the same fashion was negated due
to her kicking the ball while it was
in the keeper’s hand.
Despite an extremely hardfought battle, Parkdale never made
up the score.
Northwestern did not give a
goal during the game, but that did
not keep them from playing as hard
as if they were losing – a team philosophy Benavides said.
“We always have the philosophy that we’re always down. Even
when we’re up, we act as if we are
down because the moment we play
as if we are up, that’s the moment
we lose focus and we lose our
hunger to win,” she said.
The Northwestern girls' 1-0
victory in the final eight of the
girls' 4A Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association playoffs sealed its ticket to the
southern regional game against
Leonardtown High School. The
game will be at Leonardtown on
Tuesday, Nov. 10.
Leonardtown previously defeated Dr. Henry A. Wise (10-0),
Jr., Bowie (9-0) and North Point (20) to make it the regional championship game.

Badgers down Terps in second half
Forestville’s Patrick
Clark signed by WWE
By Shawn McFarland
Managing Editor
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
ORLANDO – Forestville native Patrick Clark became an fan favorite in the pro wrestling world after his stint on WWE’s reality show
“Tough Enough.”
Now he can begin to pick up
fans around the country, as it has
become official that Clark has been
signed by the WWE and he is currently at its performance center in
Orlando, Florida.
The former “Tough Enough”
competitor has experience in the
Mid-Atlantic Wrestling Association, as well as the local independent promotion Maryland Championship Wrestling (MCW). Standing
at 6-2 and weighing in at 220
pounds, Clark spent a decade in the
JROTC program and wrestled for
Forestville Military Academy from
2011 to 2013.
His signing came after a long
list of fans and former wrestlers attempted to push Clark into the
WWE spotlight following his reality show snubbing. Despite missing
the cut, Clark is now on his way to
achieving his dream of being a
WWE Superstar.
Tragedy struck Clark at a very
young age after his father was murdered when he was two-years-old.
It was then that Clark decided professional wrestling was going to be
his outlet and he would not let himself become a victim of another
senseless crime. At the age of eight,
Clark fell in love with wrestlers like
The Undertaker, Triple H, and Kurt
Angle. By the age of 12, he wanted
to become a WWE superstar. He
knew he wanted to save someone
else’s life just like the WWE saved
his.
During an official WWE release, one of Clark’s idols, Paul
“Triple H” Levesque, made a statement about Clark and his fellow
newcomers.
“With support from our re-
markable coaching staff at the
WWE Performance Center, this
new class of recruits will be able to
develop their skills, in and out of
the ring,” Levesque said. “Our unparalleled training facility gives our
talent every opportunity to succeed
and grow. The sky is the limit for
these talented individuals and I’m
pleased to welcome each and every
one of them to WWE.”
Clark joins other newcomers
such as Mada Abdelhamid, Cezar
Bononi, former Green Bay Packer
Josh Bredl, Amanda Saccomano,
and Baltimore native and Indy
wrestling sensation Richard Swann.
Clark recently held his first
professional title in the wrestling
business with tag team partner Lio
Rush in the MCW. After his signing
however, Clark had to vacate his title to move on from one of the best
independent promotions in the
country.
“Maryland Championship
Wrestling would like to officially
congratulate Patrick Clark for signing a contract with the WWE,” the
MCW said on their website.
“Patrick signed a contract earlier
this (October), but we were asked
not to mention his signing until the
WWE made the announcement.
Respectfully, we waited until the
WWE acknowledged his signing,
which they did (Oct. 19) on their
website.
“Many fans and wrestling
journalists had questions concerning his status after he missed two
events on Oct 16 and Oct. 17. For
the record, Patrick did not ‘no
show’ us as some places reported.
We knew ahead of time that he
would be unable to make the
events. Patrick signed with WWE
in early October and reported to the
Performance Center on Oct. 19. We
wish him the best of luck and are
proud to add him to the list of performers that made their way
through MCW on their way to
achieving their dreams.”
COLLEGE PARK – Maryland
played one good half of football on
Saturday.
Unfortunately for the Terrapins, football games are two halves
long.
Maryland’s defense held the
Wisconsin offense in check for the
first 30 minutes, as the Badgers
managed just 104 yards of total offense in the first half. However,
Wisconsin scored on consecutive
possessions to open the second half,
while the Terps’ offense stalled with
four straight punts followed by an
interception. Maryland closed the
gap late and had a chance to get the
ball back with an onside kick, but
failed to recover and watched as
Wisconsin ran the clock out for the
31-24 win.
“Defensively I think we played
well enough to win the game,” said
Maryland Head Coach Mike Locksley. “Offensively, we were a little
too inconsistent. We missed some
shots early in the game. We missed
some advantageous field position
opportunities that we didn’t take
advantage of.”
Things started out well for
Maryland when Wes Brown ran it
in from seven-yards out on the second possession of the game. To say
the lead was short-lived would be
an understatement though, as Wisconsin’s Natrell Jamerson returned
the ensuing kickoff 98 yards for a
touchdown. Fellow Badger Dare
Ogunbowale made it 14-7 later in
the first when he scampered in from
21 yards out.
The teams exchanged field
goals in the second quarter before
Maryland found the endzone seconds before halftime. Perry Hills hit
D.J. Moore for a 40-yard touchdown to tie things up heading into
the break.
“I was just happy to be able to
make a play for my team,” Moore
said. “I wasn’t focused on the drop I
had earlier, but I knew I had to
make it up.”
That would be the end of
University of Maryland wide receiver D.J. Moore, right, hauls in a 40-yard
touchdown pass against Wisconsin cornerback Derrick Tindal in the first
half of their game in Saturday. Maryland fell to Wisconsin, 31-24.
Maryland’s good play until the final
minutes of the game. Wisconsin’s
Alex Ingold scored from one yard
out in the third, and then Ogunbowale hauled in a seven-yard
touchdown early in the fourth to
give the Badgers a two score lead.
Meanwhile, the Maryland offense was nowhere to be found. The
Terps managed just 26 yards of offensive on their next four drives.
All four drives ended in punts.
Caleb Rowe replaced Hills on
the second possession of the fourth
quarter and went three-and-out to
cap the four consecutive punts. On
the next drive he would throw an interception.
“We missed some shots,”
Locksley said. “I saw some improvements, but we missed opportunities in the first half when we
had the field position. I have to get
it fixed, I have to get us making the
right reads and to execute and take
advantage of those opportunities.”
Rowe was finally able to jumpstart the offense on what would be
the team’s last possession of the
game. Rowe completed 5-of-9
passes on the drive that ended with
a 27-yard touchdown pass to Levern Jacobs.
Maryland attempted an onside
kick with less than three minutes to
go and appeared to recover the
kick, but had the play nullified on
an offside call. Wisconsin recovered the following attempt and converted on a fourth-and-1 to run out
the clock.
“It’s a learning opportunity,”
Locksley said about the offside call.
“We had the play. It was there to be
made. We have to get the guys to
understand the attention to detail,
doing all the little things right.”
Wisconsin won its fifth
straight game to improve to 8-2
overall and 5-1 in the Big 10. Maryland’s 24 points against the Badgers, the nation’s leading defense
(11.0 points-per-game), is the most
points scored against Wisconsin
since its season-opening loss to Alabama (35-17).
Maryland falls to 2-7 (0-5) on
the year. The Terps will travel to
East Lansing to face Michigan
State next weekend.

G. Frederick Robinson back as Mayor of Bowie
By Tiffany Watson
@myfairladyt
BOWIE – Local residents in
Bowie used the “stick to what you
know” method in the voting booths
during the city elections last week
and also elected two new members
to the city council.
Current city of Bowie Mayor G.
Frederick Robinson will return to run
the city for his ninth term and aims to
“get things done.” He is joined by a
few of his previous city council
members, Isaac Trouth (District 4)
and Diane Polangin (District 2).
“Obviously I’m very pleased
and proud and humbled by the fact
that people still liked the direction
we are going in and happy about the
direction the city has been going for
the past few years,” Mayor G. Frederick Robinson said. Robinson collected a total of 4,164 votes (63.90
percent), beating Dennis Brady’s
2,093 votes (32.12 percent) and Kei-
th Jackson’s 249 votes (3.82 percent).
Polls were open on Nov. 3 from
7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in eight different
polling places, two for each district.
This was the first election with candidates serving four-year terms, two
incumbents and a newcomer vying
for the mayor’s seat, with 18 candidates in total. According to the city
of Bowie, there were 40,439 registered voters for the 2015 city election.
“We have brand new members,
Courtney Glass, who I think is going
to be a positive asset. She’s smart, a
lawyer by training, and she’s got experience working with Annapolis
and Upper Marlboro, so I’m optimistic of a smooth transition for
her,” Robinson said. “Esteve is a
young, aggressive and positive campaigner and I didn’t see anything
negative from either of their campaigns while running, which I can
appreciate.”

G. Frederick Robinson smiles after winning the Bowie mayoral
election. Robinson returns for his
ninth term as city mayor.
District 3 elected Courtney
Glass, who obtained 708 votes
(56.15 percent). She beat Babatunde
O. Alegbeleye, who had 170 votes
(13.48 percent), and James Scott
Hessberger Jr. with 379 votes (30.06
percent).
Michael Esteve won District 1
with 844 votes (49.16 percent)
against Monica Best-James (467
votes), Jenmaire Dewberry (308
votes) and Pauletta G. Handy (97
votes).
“I think they both come with
the idea that the city is doing well
and they both understand the challenges they will inherit in representing their district, but they want to
take that good thing and make it
even better,” Robinson said. “I am
pleased with the caliber of the council I will be working with and I am
convinced they understand the city
is their client.”
Residents will see some familiar faces in the two at-large city
council seats. Three incumbents
James Marcos, Henri Gardner, and
Dufour Woolfley, campaigned to
win one of the at-large seats and the
race was pretty close. Gardner collected 3,630 (34.63 percent) votes,
while Marcos collected 3,575 (34.11
percent) votes to win the two seats.
Woolfley was close with 3,261
votes, but was knocked out of the
race.
“(The win) shows there’s a lot
more responsibility that comes with
being a representative across the entire city as opposed to it being just a
district,” Gardner said. “It is still a
seat on the council, but what it does
is it affords me the opportunity to
meet so many more of our residents
that I haven’t had the privilege of
meeting prior to now because I was
representing District 3.”
Gardner plans to start a private
partnership to create a summer jobs
program for the city’s youth and improve upon the “already great service for the seniors.” Another focal

Ricks, Nicholas win Ward seats
in most contested Laurel race
By Bo Evans

LAUREL – Ed Ricks let out an
excited, “Whoa!” when he heard
the initial vote count for the Ward 1
city council seat in Laurel on Nov.
3.
The soon to be sixth-term city
councilmen and council president
had just learned that he was the
leading vote getter in Ward 1 with
413 votes at the initial count. Ricks
and fellow Ward 1 incumbent city
councilwoman Valerie Nicholas
had defeated challengers Carl DeWalt and Jeffery Mills in the most
contested city race in Laurel.
“The people feel our passion of
serving them, in such a way that
they understand the importance of
us staying in office to see this
through,” Ricks said.
“I’m really happy the election
turned out the way it has. Valerie
and I have put in a lot of time, the
rest of the council has put in a lot of
time, and the issues are very impor-
tant to us. The hospital and the railroad station to name a few. It may
seem small to some people, but it’s
very large for this community.”
Last Tuesday was a good night
to be an incumbent in Laurel, as all
five members of the city council
and the mayor were re-elected.

Hyattsville hosts partnership
breakfast with local investors
@candacerojo
HYATTSVILLE – The city has
grown astronomically in the past 10
years, but Hyattsville is not slowing
down any time soon.
With the Art’s District booming, both Metro stops expecting a
facelift with some infrastructure,
and the multitude of plans the city
has in mind, Hyattsville hosted a
partnerships breakfast last week to
ask local leaders and investors to remember them the next time they
break out the pocketbook.
The breakfast was held at Busboys & Poets in Hyattsville on
Wednesday, Nov. 4, and included a
promotional video of the city and a
presentation from the mayor that included speeches from local business
owners and investors.
Hyattsville Mayor, Candace
Hollingsworth, said the Hyattsville
Legislative & Partnership Breakfast
is something the city hosts every

the big players in the city’s development and show them what the council and Hyattsville needs.
“It’s important to have this
event because it allows us to get together, in one room, the people who
help make the work we do possible,”
she said. “There’s some things that’s
totally in the control of the city, but
then there are some things that require the help and support of people
outside of our control.”
Hollingsworth said the breakfast lets leaders like state delegates
and county council members, and
local businesses and investors, see
the work being done in the city and
the areas where the city needs help.
The breakfast highlights all the work
all the players have done collectively and thanks them for support.
“It’s important for them to see
that we’re good stewards of the resources and efforts they’ve given us
so far so that they’ll be inclined to
continue with those investments and

partnerships going forward,” she
said.
The city council picked six key
points and projects they felt most reflected the needs and aspirations of
the city. From the six, they highlighted four at the breakfast – the four
most important and prevalent issues.
Topics included building a
parking garage near the Route 1
Corridor, the renovations of both
Hyattsville Elementary and Hyattsville Middle schools, development at the West Hyattsville Metro
Station, and the completion of a trolley trail between Armentrout Drive
and Farragut Street to connect Hyattsville to the Anacostia River Trail.
Jake Rollow, the community
services director for the city, said the
city invited more than 300 people to
attend the breakfast. A little more
than 100 attended. Rollow said they
invited anyone who has worked with
the city, or would work with city.
James Chandler, the city’s director of community and economic
development, said the event cost approximately $5,000 to put on, but is
a small price for a larger investment
in the city. He said through the
breakfast each player or piece of the
Hyattsville puzzle sees how he or
she fits in the greater picture.
“This is a $5,000, very lowcost, effective way to ask for millions of dollars,” Chandler said.
“Considering how cost-effective this
is and just the hour or so that we
spend together, this will stick with
them. When decisions are in front of
them about Hyattsville or where to
put resources, they’re going to think
of this.”
Chandler said another important aspect of hosting the breakfast is
citizens have the chance to see
where the city is moving and how
funds are used.
“It’s important that residents
here see where their tax money is being placed and knowing that the city
is advocating on their behalf and doing a really effective job at it,” Chandler said. “Everyone’s got a decision
to make, limited resources and it’s
‘why.’ Why am I going to provide a
grant to Hyattsville? Why am I going to invest in a commercial property or open a business or move my
family to Hyattsville? And we think
we have a compelling argument.”

Robinson, Trouth, Polangin back in Bowie seats

point for Gardner is continuing to
provide safety in the community by
cutting down speeding and traffic in
the region.
Both at-large candidates agreed
that both of the new council members coming on board, Glass and Esteve, are “young, exciting, and have
more energy.”
“I’ve always said you need a
balance of maturity and youth to
move things forward,” Gardner said.
“It’s great that we have millennials
on the council who can give us some
insight into that community because
we have a lot of millennials living in
the city of Bowie. They are the future of Bowie and I think it’s a great
mixture and the energy they will
bring to the council an only be positive.”
Marcos said both of the new
candidates have the “credentials and
smarts” to back up their potential.
He also said Robinson has been a
great mayor and the election reflected that.
“It did seem important for me
to step up because when I filed the
(at-large) seat was vacant and I was
the most experienced,” Marcos said.
“It was important because it was my
duty to step up. I had a strong feeling
hat I’d be in either way because I had
the most tenure on the council.”
Marcos said the last council
was really good at working as a team
and he’s excited to be on this new
team, “leading them.”
“It feels amazing to have won
and a little overwhelming thinking
about the huge responsibility I’m excited to take on,” Glass said. “I’m
now responsible for about 10,000
people and ensuring that their lives
improve. I have learned a lot from
our residents and they were happy to
see someone a little bit younger on
the council who can bring fresh
ideas and new energy to the city.”
Glass looks forward to continuing to attract and retain quality retailers, specifically at the Bowie
Town Center. She also hopes to implement a Science Technology Engineering and Math (STEM) program
that can serve as enrichment to students in public schools.
“I also want to make sure seniors have transportation to get to
the stores, medical appointments,
and look at rent control because they
did not receive a cost of living increase in their social security yet
their rent is going up, so I want to
make sure that senior residents can
thrive and grow as well,” Glass said.
Many of the winners said they
are saddened by the loss of some of
the council members who will not be
returning this term. Woolfley and
Brady will still be considered the
council members’ friends and colleagues.
“I consider Dennis Brady to be
one of the finest, most decent people
in the city of Bowie. He is going to
be missed by a lot of the residents,
but he will definitely be missed by
me,” Gardner said. “He was a fine
entertainer and someone who helped
me along the way and I always be
grateful for that.
Marcos agreed.
“Woolfley has a very bright future. He’ll be back,” Marcos said.
Robinson said he is especially
saddened by the councils’ loss of
Woolfley and wants to continue to
see him stay engaged in the city.
“I would work to see if there is
anything we can tap him into,”
Robinson said. “The problem with
that was arithmetic. They had three
great people running for two seats.”
The winners of last week’s election will be sworn in on Nov. 16 and
will serve a four-year term.

Moe. Leszcz and Moe’s seats were
never in question as the two ran unopposed.
After the absentee and provisional ballots were counted on Nov.
4, Crary finished with 391 votes
while Small received 365. That was
enough to defeat challenger Mansoor Zia, who managed just 54
votes in the Ward 2 contest. Leszcz
collected 1,095 votes in his unopposed at-large bid and Mayor Moe
was the top vote grabber in the city
with 1,124. The official results in
Ward 1 were Ricks with 432,
Nicholas with 422, DeWalt with
372 and Mills with 132.
DeWalt, a retired Laurel police
officer, finished only 50 votes behind Nicholas for the second seat in
Ward 1. On election night he was
only 41 votes behind and promised
he would run again in 2017.
“Forty-one votes, I could pick
that up very easily,” DeWalt said.
“I’m going to start a lot earlier for
the next election.”
All five incumbents and the
mayor were very happy to be reelected as a team.
“I’m really happy about the
outcome of the election. I think all
of the incumbents deserve to be
back in office. I look forward to
working with them in the coming
years,” Moe said after learning his
entire council would be back for an-
other two years.
Smalls said familiarity would
help the council and mayor work on
the issues facing Laurel.
“I’ve worked with these council members for a few years now.
We know each other’s strength and
weaknesses. We feed off those and
so all of that turns out to be a benefit to the residents. I’m very, very
comfortable serving with the other
four members of the council,”
Smalls said.
Nicholas echoed that sentiment.
“I’m just looking forward to
working across the board with
everybody and continue to make
the city even better,” Nicholas said.
The election comes at a time
when Laurel is facing some major
changes. Each candidate specifically mentioned the pending closures
of the Laurel Regional Hospital and
the stop on the MARC train Camden line as important issues they
want to address in the next term.
Crary lamented the fact that
members were forced to spend time
and energy campaigning at such an
important juncture for the city.
“We have a lot to do and sometimes elections don’t come at the
most opportune time,” Crary said.

Board selects budget priorities
@candacerojo
UPPER MARLBORO – The
Chief Executive Officer of Prince
George’s County Public Schools
(PGCPS) is set to release his budget
in December, but for the board of
education and school staff budget
seasons are already in full swing.
For the past few months, the
board’s Finance Audit and Budget
(FAB) Committee has worked on
the priorities of the board to formulate the fiscal year 2017 budget. The
overall budget will be a compromise of the CEO Kevin Maxwell’s
recommendations, the board’s recommendations, and the financial
limitations of the ultimate amount
voted on by the county council.
On Oct. 27, the FAB committee
finalized the board’s priorities,
which included 12 over-arching
goals for the school system. While
they are priorities for the board going into this budget, board member
Beverly Anderson said they do not
expect all of them to be met in one
year.
“(The board) approved of them
and gave them to the CEO for feedback, recognizing that those being
our priorities, we do not expect to
have all of that done in one year,”
Anderson said.
Board member Sonya Williams
said there would be qualifications
for each priority, though.
“Something like ‘improve,’
‘supplement,’ those kind of qualifications of things added,” she said.
An example of this is the first
listed priority of the board, “institute universal, all-day prekindergarten.” The board recognizes that
not all schools have the capacity to
hold a pre-K, nor does the system
have the funds to institute it universally in the next year.
“That’s the point we wanted to
make,” Anderson said. “In some
cases we can’t have something universally the first year, but we’ve got
plans and a plan in place for universal.”
Williams agreed and said
changes should be seen as early as
2017.
“We want this to be done over
time,” Williams said. “But for
2017, we want to increase the institution of universal pre-K.”
Other priorities for the board
include increased funding for the
literacy program, providing tutors
in low performing schools, reducing class sizes (with an overall goal
of 25 students per classroom),
along with filling vacancies and
providing adequate training for bus
drivers. The board also wants a full
introduction of the second shift
maintenance team, extended nurs-
ing contracts to 11 months, increased funds to school to purchase
copy paper and supplies, increased
special education staffing, expanded parent resources, upgraded playgrounds and outdoor facilities, and
improved customer service through
comprehensive development training.
Raymond Brown, the chief financial officer at PGCPS, said from
here he will cost everything out to
take it to Maxwell and the senior
staff. Brown said many of the board
priorities are consistent with the
priorities of Maxwell.
“It’s a matter of costing them
out. Then looking at those priorities
and all the other things that have to
be done with limited resources and
trying to make the tough decisions
about what can we do and what do
we have to phase in over a number
of years,” Brown said.
Maxwell will present his budget on Dec. 10. Brown said the
board priorities will be considered
in the process, which will last until
June when the budget must be
passed.
“The board has prepared a list
to give to the (CEO) of things they
would like to see in his budget proposal. We will consider that as part
of our deliberative process and then
we’ll follow our process along,” he
said.

County begins build of net zero house
@candacerojo
On the web. All the time.
www.thesentinel.com
MOUNT RAINIER – Construction has just begun at 3719 34th
Street, but no ordinary house is moving in next door. In fact, this home is
a little bit of a sustainability nut.
On Friday, Nov. 6, the Redevelopment Authority of Prince George's
County (RDA), along with Urban
Green, LLC, Monument Bank, and
the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development,
broke ground on the county’s newest
net zero energy house with a small
ceremony.
The new structure, designed by
Urban Green, will be a 1,800square-foot, single-family home
with four bedrooms and three baths.
The home will be energy efficient
with a solar rooftop, low-flow toilets, a “super-high efficiency” hot
water pump, a bioretention area, and
rainwater harvesting. The goal is for
the building to produce as much energy on an annual basis as it consumes, as well as eliminating
stormwater runoff - leaving the
homeowners with a utility bill of
zero. Hence “net-zero.”
Mark James, the executive director of Urban Green, said official
construction on the house is still
waiting on final permitting. Once
the permits come through he expects
the process to move quickly, since
the modular home is already 70 to 80
percent completed and can be placed
on a completed foundation.
Howard Ways, the executive director of the RDA, said this project
was undertaken through collaboration with the city, county and local
investors.
“We asked the city, ‘would you
support such a project,’ and unequivocally the mayor and the city council
and residents said, ‘absolutely, we
want to be the greenest community
in Maryland,’” Ways said.
This new house is just one project Mount Rainer has endorsed that
touts sustainability. The city has also
installed solar panels at the town
hall, invested in porous pavers to reduce stormwater runoff in its munic-

ipal parking lot, and partnered with
the Housing Initiative Partnership to
build the city’s first green roof.
“Mount Rainer is not into green
because it is a fad,” Mayor Malinda
Miles said. “Mount Rainer’s into
green because it’s a way of life for
us. If you look back to 1974-78,
we’ve been going green. We have
the first green police station in the
entire country and it wasn’t because
we didn’t think about it. We thought
about it.”
Miles said the city is proud of
their efforts to attain sustainability
and this project will “solidify Mount
Rainer as a sustainable community.”
It will increase their efforts to reduce
their carbon footprint.
Michael Wiencek, Jr., one of
the architects on the project, said the
design plan for the house took more
than a year to solidify, though the
group is still in the process of tweaking the plans.
“It’s a very challenging, involved process that took well over a
year. For a single-family house,
that’s a long time,” he said.
The house, with all the sustainable aspects, will blend into the surrounding areas with a 20th century
exterior design. The total cost for the
project is projected near $356,000
and will sell on the market in the low
$400,000 range.
The plan for the net zero house
was created with numerous consultants and contributors, Wiencek
said. Each voice played an integral
part in developing and integrating
each sustainable factor.
“This many consultants would
typically be involved in a 400-unit
apartment complex,” Wiencek said.
James said the house was a fulfillment of big ideas and “what ifs.”
“When we decided to respond
to this, we said we were going to
build a two-story, four bedroom, net
zero energy home and we were going to start doing these ‘what ifs.’
What if the home could actually
generate more energy than it uses?
What if the home could actually
make you healthier than a traditional
code-built house? What if a home
could still be affordable,” he said.
“Well, I’m happy to say when this
project is done those ‘what ifs’ will
become ‘what is.’”
James said the ultimate goal is
for sustainable housing to become a
new standard.
“Once we’ve done this one
house, we’re hoping it’s going to do
two things,” he said. “The first
things it’s going to do is say yes this
can be done, so no one else has to
wonder if it can be, but the second
thing is it’s going to encourage the
other neighbors.”

Merriman collects thousands of coats for the homeless
By Tiffany Watson
@myfairladyt
COLLEGE PARK – University of Maryland College Park Alumnus Shawne Merriman vowed to ensure that no family will have to go an
entire winter without a coat, as he
experienced with his family years
ago.
Merriman, a former NFL linebacker, held an annual coat drive on
Nov. 7, prior to the Terps’ homecoming game at Capital One Field at
Byrd Stadium. The collection of the
coats began 90 minutes prior to the
start of the game and continued
throughout the first quarter. Merriman partnered with the Maryland
Athletics Department and was
joined by University of Maryland
(UMD) student-athletes to collect
gently used coats, hats, scarves and
other cold weather clothing.
“Me, my sister and my mom
were homeless a few times because
of some fires that happened. My
mom wasn’t able to pay for electricity, so she lit a candle that ended up
burning through a TV in my house
and we lost everything,” Merriman
said. “I went almost the whole winter without having a coat and I was
like ‘man this is terrible and I can’t
imagine someone else having to go
through it.’ So after my sophomore
year and I got notoriety from playing
nationally, I said this would be a really good time to bring some attention to a great cause.”
Merriman grew up in Prince
George’s County in the Capitol
Heights, Forestville area and attended Frederick Douglass High School
in Upper Marlboro. Merriman was
honored as the Associated Press
Maryland Defensive Player of the
Year as a senior out of Douglass.
Over the past 13 years, Merriman and his Lights On Foundation
have collected more than 24,000
coats and warm weather items to
benefit numerous communities in
the DMV, Philadelphia and New Jersey areas. Merriman’s foundation is
dedicated to improving the quality
of life for youth and to help the
homeless. He donates time, money
and other resources throughout the
country by increasing opportunities
for children to lead healthy and fulfilling lives by providing financial
assistance to projects helping those
in need.
Natasha Criss, associate director of academic support at the university, helped organize the coat drive. Criss said they got the concept
from some experiences Merriman
went through in the past. She said
during the first year of the coat drive
they figured they would only get 100
coats, but ended up collecting about
1,500 coats.
“We’ve collected close to
24,000 items in total throughout the
years, of coats, scarves, hats, jackets
and sweaters. We had people take
their coats off their backs. The UMD
staff cleans out their closets and will
even drop stuff off at my office,”
Criss said. “We previously partnered
with Burlington Coat Factory, the
Red Cross, UMD and other organizations, to take items to the victims
of Hurricane Sandy that were greatly
affected by the tragic event.”
Merriman even distributed
coats to homeless people on the
streets for a few years.
“It gets cold in the winter. The
first year they started kicking homeless people off the benches and onto
the ground in D.C., we literally went
and started giving them coats. I will
never forget their expressions and
the happiness they had when they
got their coats,” Merriman said.
The Lights Out Foundation and
Merriman’s coat drive formed partnerships during his coat drive with
Burlington Coat Factory, Good
Morning America and PETA. The
foundation also partnered with
Feeding America and StandUp For
Kids in the past.
“I’m really thankful so many
people have been apart of it for so
many years. Even my former teammates and my old high school teachers come with their coats,” Merriman said. “It makes me feel good
that they look forward to this.”

nethia Buchanan, said it feels wonderful being at the coat drive.
“It’s a great joy to be here,”
Buchanan said. “It’s like when you
have been down and you’re coming
up, you don’t forget where you came
from and that makes it just awesome.
“The best part for me is when I
see the people and they give the
coats and some of the people will
say they have been there and gone
through the same thing. It makes me
want to cry.”
The foundation also donates
coats to the Noel Roberts Foundation, who has a resource organization that helps families.
“It’s really a good thing and
everyone looks forward to it,”
Roberts said.
Roberts presented Merriman
with the NRF (Noel Roberts Foundation) 2015 Sponsor Appreciation
Award at the coat drive.
Merriman’s foundation donated
half a million dollars to different
charities and has helped keep shelters open all year round. He also donates to his high school by making
sure they have new uniforms and
new equipment every year.
“(Douglass) won the state
championship last year and I want
them to continue to be the best,”
Merriman said. “I’m trying to get
them brand new turf, a field and new
stadium seating. When I came out of
Douglass, I went to UMD and tore it
up. Now every year they have some-
one going to a Division I college and
scouts are constantly going there to
seek new talent.”
Merriman had a renowned career at UMD, where he became a
first-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection after his junior season. Originally selected in the first
round (12th overall) in the 2005
NFL Draft by the San Diego Chargers, Merriman was a three-time AllPro and Pro Bowl selection with San
Diego prior to joining the Buffalo
Bills toward the end of the 2010 season.
“He’s just one of those people
who wants what he wants and he’s
going to go hard for it because he’s
committed to it. It holds a special
place in his heart,” Criss said.

SHADD Pianos are becoming a household name
By Tiffany Watson
@myfairladyt
LANHAM – SHADD Pianos
have become a household name for
pianists and musicians around the
nation.
The Prince George’s County
resident and inventor/founder, Warren Shadd, recently became the official piano on the hit television show
Empire and is taking strides to be the
ideal luxury piano product for musicians everywhere.
Shadd is the first AfricanAmerican piano and instrument
manufacturer in history. Established
in 2003, SHADD Pianos is a Washington, D.C. based piano manufacturing company, dedicated to delivering sensational sound, unparalleled touch and tonality, the highest
grade of materials, and elegant style.
Shadd lives in Prince George's
County and was raised in D.C.
“I played my first jazz concert
at four years old. I also played the
drums, was a child prodigy, and it all
manifested from there,” Shadd said.
Shadd has played piano for performers such as Esperanza Spalding,
Freddie Cole, Monty Alexander,
Richard Smallwood, Ledesi, COMMON, Gregory Porter, Christian
McBride and Harry Connick, Jr.
Shadd said he looks up to artists in
various musical styles, such as the
R&B legend James Brown.
“I learned how to play a wide
range of music because my father
was a contemporary jazz pianist,”
Shadd said. “He had a big band so I
would listen to their rehearsals and I
learned to play piano to different
genres, such as R&B and rock. In
my home we had pianos everywhere, from the garage, living room,
basement, kitchen, we even had pianos in the kitchen.”
Shadd had a long line of musicians in his family tree so he was
“surrounded by music and technical
know how.” His father, James, was a
piano rebuilder and his mother was a
hymnal pianist. His grandmother
was a ragtime pianist and his grandfather was a drummer and inventor.
His aunt was is Grammy Award winner, jazz artist Shirley Horn.
At a very young age, Shadd decided to take over his father’s business of tuning and rebuilding instruments. He said his goal was to make
the greatest sounding acoustic and
interactive piano.
“After tuning and rebuilding pianos and decided to try my hand at
designing my own piano,” Shadd
said. “I wanted to make a hybrid piano where it incorporates a electronic synthesizer type of keyboard technology and make that into an
acoustic piano so that it would be a
little of both worlds. It is computer
based with screens, monitors, video
cameras, speakers and synthesizer
sound, so you can switch back and
forth from playing acoustic to a
more synthesized sound or play
them simultaneously.”
Shadd and his friend Phillip
Pearl, chief of neurology at Boston
Children’s Hospital in Boston, who
is also a jazz pianist and musical historian, have also used the SHADD
Piano for systems technology research.
“We tested it on autistic, blind
and deaf children and young adults
to see how to enrich, educate and assist social skills for the betterment of
their lives,” Shadd said. “We were
very successful with these tests in
over a year’s time and it was a phenomenal validation of the technology that I created.”
SHADD Pianos had its first piano on display at the Langhan Hotel,
“New York City’s No. 1 Luxury hotel since 2012.” Since then, his pianos have been selling pianos from
New York to Australia.
Shadd noted one challenge of
building a piano was determining
how to differentiate his pianos from
anything presently on the market.
“I experimented and used the
same technology and approach in
building, creating and enhancing
what is already there, from the lightest whisper to the greatest roar without distorting it,” Shadd said. “You
can play on the piano as loud as you
want and it will maintain its rich
character. You can play as softly as
you want and it will play the full
tone of the note.”
Paul Carr, executive director of
the Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival, said
Shadd is an excellent musician and
is an inspiration to all musicians because of his hard work and dedication to his product.
“We pick pianos for the MidAtlantic Jazz Festival and I knew he
had been working on the piano for
quite sometime. We had the piano in
the first year and we had people just
raving about it and it’s an incredible
instrument,” Carr said. “We had
Steinway and Yamaha artists, who
only play those instruments, but
even they were running and happy to
play the SHADD piano. Now it is in
all of our contracts that a SHADD
piano will be on the stage.”
Carr said the SHADD piano has
grown in national notoriety. He believes the piano is “on par with the
greatest Steinway or Yamaha that is
out there and the instrument exceeds
anything out there.
“I think SHADD Pianos have a
chance to be the industry standard,”
Carr said. “I think so many musicians are going to start requesting
the piano that it’s going to upset the
order of things.”
Carr said the pianos have received a lot of positive feedback
from top artists in the jazz field.
“There are a lot of built-in little
extras with the SHADD Piano, with
action, meaning how the keys play.
It’s fun, clean action. It has just the
right amount of brightness and tone
in the note. The piano is a nice upgrade,” Carr said.
Shadd said the sound on a
SHADD Piano travels up to the pianist because “there should be a recipient of the sound of the piano.”
Musicians and buyers also notice the
quality of each piano’s maple texture
on the inside and gold plated finish.
“I’m always amazed at his creativity. I know at the Mid-Atlantic
Jazz Festival in Rockville, Freddy
Cole, Nat King Cole’s brother, really
loved using it,” said Rusty Hassan,
WPFW radio host. “There has been

on the American Idol stage and recently his piano was chosen as the
official piano for the FOX television
show Empire.
“The Empire thing was very
good.” Shadd said. “The moment I
inquired, they reached back to me
the following day and it was a done
deal. Two months later we delivered
six pianos to FOX in Chicago.”
Shadd is traveling to Rome this
month to personally deliver a piano
to the Vatican.
“Initially, I was really just trying to accomplish something. You
don’t really go in thinking you’re
going to create a monster but you
do,” Shadd said. “I was just trying to
make one of the best pianos in the
world and it’s not just my opinion.
It’s others who have gushed over
what we have accomplished as
well.”

Local McDonald’s honors two restaurant superstars
By Tiffany Watson
@myfairladyt
FORT WASHINGTON – A local McDonald’s restaurant located
in Prince George’s County recognized two of its most impressive
crewmembers who demonstrate
what being a McDonald’s employee is all about.
Last Friday, Nov. 6, the McDonald’s Family Restaurants of
Washington, D.C. celebrated
Christopher Page and Rosa Gonzales by revealing two special display
boards that features both employees. The unveiling of the two
30”x30” display pieces, one featuring Page and the other one featuring
Gonzales, were presented at their
home store in Fort Washington.
Both Page and Gonzales were nominated for the honor by their local
McDonald’s owner/operator Mary
Hopkins Navies.
“It was a very difficult decision to make because I have some
great employees. I could have nominated anyone. It was difficult to
narrow it down to Christopher and
Rosa,” Hopkins Navies said. “I just
really believe in giving opportunities. I believe in reaching back and
pulling forward. Someone gave me
opportunity and I strive to do the
same for others. Not only do we
hire, we mentor our folks as well.”
Page and Gonzales are two of
45 local McDonald’s crewmembers
featured in more than 150 Greater
D.C. Area McDonald’s restaurants
in the coming months. The features
will be displayed in eight restau-
rants located in Ft. Washington,
Clinton, Hyattsville, College Park,
Suitland and Landover for the rest
of the year and much of 2016.
Hopkins Navies said Page excels both at work and in his classes
at Prince George’s Community
College and always has a smile on
his face.
Gonzales started out as a
crewmember 12 years ago and became a general manager at the Andrews Air Force Base in 2011. Hopkins Navies said Gonzales showed
the initiative and ability to be a
good manager.
“She worked her way up from
crew to manager, now she has about
10 managers that she manages and
about 70 crew people that she’s responsible for managing,” Hopkins
Navies said. “It’s a big job. She’s
very effective with it. She’s a great
trainer, she’s an outstanding store
manager and she’s a great individual as well.”
Gonzales said she always saw
herself as someone in a management position.
“My favorite part of my job is
training new employees and seeing
them grow,” Gonzales said. “I feel
happy because I’m Spanish and
they recognize what I do. It makes
me feel good.”
Gonzales said she came to the
United States in 2003 and started
working at the Fort Washington
McDonalds in the lobby. She did
not know English at the time.
“They noticed I learned fast
and so they put me on the drivethru,” Gonzales said. “I would
smile, say good morning, and have
a nice day. I had to write down what
to say in English. I kept moving up
in ranks and was training others
while working overnight and cleaning the floors.”
Gonzales’ co-workers say
she’s a hard worker and puts 100
percent of effort into everything she
does.
Hopkins Navies said Page
stole her heart from the beginning.
She said she was unaware Page had
recently lost his mother when he
first began working at her franchise.
“Christopher is one I want to
see continue to grow,” Hopkins
Navies said. “I am lobbying for
Christopher to get a job in McDonald’s corporation, their communications department, their marketing
department, their public relations
department or one of our agencies
as an intern for next summer in
hopes that it will lead him into a career path with one of them.”
Hopkins Navies said she was
proud to shed some light on McDonald’s superstars such as Page
because the world deserves to see
that we have “extraordinary young
men and they are being employed at
McDonald’s.”
Page said being included in the
McDonald’s display is a great honor because he’s had a lot of struggles over the past few years.
“They said they chose me for
my standard of excellence. I was
trained properly, raised the right
way, and when you are, it takes you
places. It helps me to stand out,”
Prince Georgeʼs County residents and McDonaldʼs superstars Christopher
Page, left, and Rosa Gonzales, of the McDonaldʼs Family Restaurants in
Washington, D.C., pose while celebrating the reveal of two special display
boards being featured for the first time in the county.
Page said. “The whole reason I got
this job was to support my father
who had just been diagnosed with
Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, so I
was doing this to take care of us. I
never thought it would turn into a
long-term opportunity and now I
am about to get an internship.”
Page said no one expects to get
great customer service from a fast
food restaurant and his goal is to always change the way people look at
the company with his burst of positive energy.
“There’s a stereotype about being young and working at fast food
restaurants. People joke that they
don’t want to work here, but I over-
Place your ads in
came that with the proper attitude,”
Page said. “It was discouraging at
first, but if you research a lot of successful people, many have come
through and got their start at organizations such as this. It teaches you
management skills, how to pay attention to details, how to multi-task
and how an organization is actually
run. With that experience you can go
into any career choice and excel.”
Next fall Page will be attending Bowie State University as a
mass communications major. He
sings, acts, dances, models and
hopes one of his recently offered internships will turn into something
big.

Prince George’s County High School Football
Potomac holds Knights scoreless
By Sean Farrell
@ Sean_PGSSports
OXON HILL – The Potomac
Wolverines ravaged Forestville by
way of a potent rushing attack and a
second-half aerial assault en route to
a 33-0 shutout victory.
Potomac quarterback Javonte
Howard had an amazing day passing
with a limited number of attempts.
He finished the game completing 8of-13 passing attempts for 229 yards
and four touchdowns. Calil Wilkins
had a monster day for Potomac as
well, as he rushed for 161 yards on
11 carries. Wilkins also accounted
for 46 yards receiving, including a
receiving touchdown.
The game started off rather
slow after both teams managed one
scoreless possession in the opening
frame. With just under nine minutes
remaining in the second quarter,
Howard threw the only touchdown
of the half to Desoto Mckenzie for a
45-yard score.
“My performance was good. I
could have done a little better blocking. I just wanted to have a good
game,” Mckenzie said.
Potomac blew the game wide
open in the second half. Howard
threw three touchdowns in the third
quarter to put Potomac up 27-0 and
the team never looked back.
“Playing a team like this, you
can underestimate them because you
look at their record,” Howard said.
“But at the end of the day, you have
to play them like any other team and
play hard.”
The half’s first score came on
the opening drive when Howard
found Ta’yon Fleet-Davis for a 25yard catch and run. Just over a
minute later, Potomac forced a
turnover on a monster hit from
Kevin Thompson. Thompson finished the day with two-and-a-half
sacks and was a force to be reckoned
with. The turnover led to Howard
finding Wilkins for a 30-yard touchdown reception on a flare route.

Potomacʼs Calil Wilkins stiffarms a Forestville defender to the ground.
Wilkins racked up 207 yards of total offense in the Wolverinesʼ 33-0 win
over the Knights.
“I think my performance was
good today, but I think I could do a
little bit better staying low and getting past more blocks,” Thompson
said. “I think overall I did well. Playoffs are our dream. We want to go to
states and win states and beat every
team in there. Be champions. That’s
our dream to go to states.”
Wilkins was happy with his
performance as well.
“My performance was exceptional,” Wilkins said. “I still gave it
my all. On the reception, we talked
about it all week at practice with the
check downs. (Head Coach Ronnie
Crump) told me to run a flare and I
did and he checked down.”
Forestville punted back to Potomac with just under four minutes
left. Howard then found Andre Hall
for a 32-yard touchdown.
Howard continued to feed his
beast in Wilkins and the Wolverines
facilitated a 99-yard drive that ended
with Brian Blount pounding it in
from one-yard out to make it 33-0.
Forestville was dismal the entire contest. The Knights turned the
ball over five times and punted on
their other four possessions.
Potomac finishes 8-2 and is
locked into a playoff spot by finish-
ing in first place in the division.
“Making the playoffs, I’m
looking forward to winning every
game and getting these seniors a
ring. It’s their last year and everybody wants to play hard and win the
whole thing,” Howard said.
Crump is also ready for playoffs to begin Potomac will go on to
face Magruder in the first round.
“We had about 11 guys taking
the SATs, so I knew we were getting
off to a slow start,” Crump said.
“They picked it up by the end of the
first half and turned it on in the second half. They rose to the occasion
and put it together.”

Rushing attack leads DeMatha over Good Counsel
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
LANDOVER – The Great
American Rivalry Series between
the DeMatha and Good Counsel varsity football teams ended in a nailbiter Friday, with the Stags holding
off the Falcons 28-23.
The first half at Prince George’s
Sports and Learning Complex began
with DeMatha (9-1) dominating the
game in all facets.
Running back Robbie Robinson
(10 carries, 116 yards) carried the offense, picking up a pair of touchdowns.
After the DeMatha defense
forced a punt, Robinson, the game’s
Most Valuable Player, racked up 49
yards on five carries, including a drive capping 22-yard touchdown run.
Good Counsel punted and
Robinson again made them pay, this
time with a 57-yard run. He then
punched in his second score of the
night from three yards out to put the
Stags up 14-0 early in the second
quarter.
“It definitely wasn’t all me. The
line did a great job opening up holes
and doing exactly what we practice.
They helped me out. They all helped
me make the plays I made. It was all
them,” Robinson said.
Not to be outdone, Falcons’ running back Mohamed Ibrahim (22
carries, 202 yards) scored a pair of
long-distance touchdowns runs of 45
and 57 yards.
“I played the hardest I could.
We came up short. I feel if we had a
second chance we can go back and
get ‘em. This is a hard loss. If we get
the chance to play them in the playoffs we’re definitely going to remember this night. It’s not about
what I do, it’s about the outcome of
the game,” Ibrahim said.
Good Counsel (6-4) added a
field goal just before the half to cut
the deficit to 14-10, but DeMatha
pulled away in the second half on the
strength of running back Lorenzo
Harrison (17 carries, 165 yards), who
scored two touchdowns in the third
quarter.
His second touchdown, a 70-
DeMatha running back Robbie Robinson broke off a 22-yard touchdown run in the first quarter against Good Counsel. Robinson finished with 10 carries
for 116 yards and two touchdowns. DeMatha defeated Good Counsel, 28-23.
yard run, put DeMatha up 28-10.
“I just came out and played my
part trying to get as many yards as
possible and just fall forward. I feel
that was a good way to end the regular season and go into the playoffs
strong,” Harrison said.
As the rain fell heavily in the
fourth quarter, Good Counsel rallied
and nearly pulled out the victory.
Falcons’ running back Andres
Castillo scored on a 15-yard run with
just over 10 minutes remaining,
making the game 28-17.
Harrison fumbled on the next
DeMatha possession and a Falcon
defender returned it to the DeMatha
45-yard-line. Ibrahim then broke out
his 45-yard touchdown run with 6:32
remaining. Good Counsel failed on
the two point conversion, leaving the
score 28-23.
With the game on the line late in
the fourth quarter, Good Counsel
quarterback Travis Nannen marched
his team to the DeMatha 17-yardline, but the Stags’ defense came up
huge to end the game.
First, a bad snap cost the Falcons 14 yards. Then, DeMatha’s defenders broke up the next three passes to cement the victory.
“We played as hard as we could.
DeMatha is very, very talented and
(Harrison) is a problem. We knew he
was and he proved it again,” said
Good Counsel Head Coach Bob Milloy. “He’s a great player and I hope I
get invited to his graduation party.
We played hard, but they were the
better team tonight.”
According to Maryland Terrapins Head Coach Mike Locksley, who
was at the game, the latest Good
Counsel-DeMatha clash represented
“a huge rivalry for the DMV.”
“Obviously DeMatha has done
some things on the national level and
Good Counsel has great tradition so
it’s a great game for a college coach
like myself to be able to come
watch,” he said.
DeMatha alumnus LaVar Arrington, a former standout player
with Penn State and the Washington
Redskins, described the game as featuring “two legendary programs.”
“Obviously, I have a vested interest in DeMatha. I’m close with the
head coach and close with the defensive coordinator,” he said. “Maryland, D.C. and Virginia (are) just a
hotbed for talent and (they have
been) for a while so there’s always
going to be that good production of
players coming out of the area. So,
it’s just nice to have continued to
watch generation after generation
handle their business,” Arrington
said.
DeMatha’s win put a firm grip
on a WCAC playoff spot, while
Good Counsel sits ahead of St.
John’s (6-3) and Bishop McNamara
(5-4).
