County Economic Development
Corporation (EDC) knows Prince
George’s County is brimming with
raw talents, and the EDC wants to
get them while they’re young.
Tiger Woods began his golf career at the age of two. Dakota Fanning began acting at five. Justin
Bieber signed his first record deal at
13. And hundreds of children in
Prince George’s County are hoping
to open their own businesses before
they even leave middle school.
At a special event last week, titled “Kidpreneur Day,” the EDC
welcomed more than 100 county
children, ages nine to 12, to the EDC
office where they had a chance to
learn business basics from professionals. They were also given the

Community leaders question Baker, Davis
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
LARGO – Community leaders
took the opportunity to bring their
questions right to the top as County
Executive Rushern Baker III joined
county council Chair Derrick Davis
for a presidents’ advisory committee meeting.
The District 6 committee is
made up of leaders of civic and
community associations and meets
to hear about and discuss county issues with their council representative. On Aug. 4, Baker and his staff
also attended the meeting to hear
constituent concerns, including
trash, education and health care.
A large part of the meeting focused on the county’s recent switch
to one-day-a-week trash collection.
Community leaders expressed frustration with missed pick-ups as well
as the county’s 3-1-1 system, where
they were told to report such misses,
not working properly.
Tom Himler, deputy chief administrative officer for budget and
finance, said the challenges Prince
George’s faced in making the switch

were like those other jurisdictions
experienced when they switched in
the past. He said misses are much
lower now than at the beginning of
the new schedule.
“We had some rough patches
with the initial rollout. That was
kind of normal,” he said. “I’m sure
there are still some issues out there.
We’re not perfect. When we hear
those we call the haulers.”
Baker said residents could contact his office with 3-1-1 case tracking numbers if problems persist.
Other residents also reported the
parallel online system, CountyClick, has been working correctly
for them.
Some residents also expressed
concerns about the county’s public
school system, particularly the curriculum being taught. Daisy Cherry
Maggett, president of the Wilburn
Central Civic Association, said today’s students are not being taught
civics or cursive writing.
“I want to know why they are
tearing the school system up,” she
said. “These children can’t count,
and if you don’t believe what I’m
saying, go to one of these fast food
restaurants. They can’t count your
change.”
Davis said responsibility for
the school system is shared between

Federal judge halts Purple Line construction
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
SEABROOK – A federal
judge has effectively stopped the
construction of the planned Purple
Line, citing safety violations and
decreased ridership at the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit
Authority (WMATA) over the past
months.
In a ruling on Aug. 3, U.S.
District Judge Richard J. Leon said
Maryland must complete a supplementary environmental impact
statement (SEIS) that analyzes the
potential impacts of declining
Metrorail ridership before the project can proceed.
The ruling cancels federal approval of the project, and with it the
$900 million the federal government was expected to contribute.
Leon said while the Maryland
Transit Administration (MTA) and
not WMATA will operate the Purple Line, the fact that the Purple
Line will share facilities and ridership with Metro means the state of
the troubled Washington, D.C.
agency must be taken into consideration when evaluating the project.
“While it is true that WMATA
is a distinct entity from MTA... this
does not provide a rational basis for
defendants’ summary conclusion
that a decline in ridership thereon
has no effect on the Purple Line,
given that the previous projections
estimated over one quarter of Purple Line riders would use the
WMATA Metrorail as part of their
trip,” Leon wrote.
Additionally, Leon said safety
issues at Metrorail – which have in-

EFLECTIONS
September 27, 2007
Council foils appeal of Wegmans deal
Each week The Sentinel visits
a memorable story from its
archives.
The Prince George’s County
Council bypassed a last minute appeal to delay the development of
upscale grocery store Wegmans,
ruling that the argument was
“moot.” The appeal, which was
heard Monday before the county
council and county park and planning officials, challenged road improvements surrounding the development.
However, more controversial
than the appeal was the man behind
it. Anthony Perez, the government
affairs coordinator for chapter 400
of the United Food and Commercials Workers Union, is the man behind the appeal. Wegmans has been
recognized by Fortune Magazine as
one of the 100 Best Companies to
Work for 2007. However, it is a
non-union employer, a possible
point of contention for unions such
as Perez’s. However, his attorney
Marty Hut maintains that Perez
filed his appeal as a concerned citizen, not a union representative with
a hidden agenda.
“Perez is a resident of Prince
George’s County; he lives and
works here,” Hut said. “He utilizes
the roads, he knows what the traffic
networks are like. He was concerned.”
However, Perez’s appeal was
submitted with the Landover address of his union.
The appeal’s timing also set off
alarms in the minds of residents.
Perez’s appeal was filed beyond the
deal’s 30-day window. Hut said his

Children’s Guild names principal of
Prince George’s County campus
The Children’s Guild, which provides
special education and is part of the TranZed
Alliance, named Tarlesha Wayne principal of
its Prince George’s County campus. Wayne
brings 15 years of experience in the delivery
and management of special education services.
Wayne also volunteers in women’s athletics. She is the athletic director for the
Forestville Boys & Girls Club and coached
softball at Bowie State University and
Howard University, as well as women’s tackle
football for the Washington Prodigy.
First back-to-school apple giveaway

healthy eating amongst children while in
client filed late because he received
word of the project’s approval late.
“He did not receive [notice of]
the planning board approval,” he
said.
However, once he did, Hut
said Perez was concerned about the
car capacity of road neighboring the
development site. In the hearing,
Hut said that there were “discrepancies and differences” between different site plans created by developers Petrie-Ross Ventures. Hut said
Perez filed the appeal “out of an
abundance of caution” that road
surrounding the development
would receive improvements.
Petrie-Ross Ventures Executive Vice President of Development
and Construction Terry Richardson
said it was a little apprehensive
about Perez’s appeal but planned to

More than 200 veterans attend the EDC’s
Veterans Day
More than 200 veterans came out to the
Prince George's County Economic Development Corporation (EDC) as they celebrated
“Veterans Day” and hosted a Veterans Jobs
and Resource Fair, in collaboration with the
Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing
and Regulations (DLLR). The concept behind
the event was to address the issue of unemployment within the veteran community. In
Prince George's County alone, there are more
than 2,700 identified unemployed veterans.
The Jobs and Resource Fair began with
honor it.
“It’s a little suspicious that
[Perez] has issued a union address
but we are willing to take it at face
value,” he said.
Petrie-Ross Ventures Attorney
Edward Gibbs addressed Perez’s
concerns, outlining road improvements that were included in the final site plan. Gibbs also said
Perez’s appeal focused on off site
roads such as St. Joseph’s Drive,
which were not relevant to the Wegmans development site.
County legal council ruled that
Perez was “confused” by the site
plans and said it did not need to be
voted on by the council since it
challenged what Hut admittedly
said was a non-issue.

Patuxent Research Refuge celebrates
Wildlife Conservation Day
The Patuxent Research Refuge will be
celebrating Wildlife Conservation Day on
Aug. 13 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. at the north
tract of the refuge. The public is invited to
take guided hikes, learn tips on birding,
wildlife photography and observation, practice fly tying, fish, see raptors and other live
birds, watch working dogs retrieve, participate in archery and firearms demonstrations,
and engage in crafts for the younger children.
There will also be information about hunter
safety, accessible hunting and fishing, as well
as other conservation and recreational opportunities, in the area. Exhibitors/participants
will include the Meade Natural Heritage Association, the National Wild Turkey Federa-
narden residents who attended the
hearing in support of the development. Wegmans supporters carried
white construction hats and wore
buttons that read, “Spring 2009,”
signifying the on-time completion
of the grocery store giant. However,
local activist and Vice Chair of the
county Democratic Central Committee Arthur Turner Jr. was dismayed that the issue even came to
light.
“I am very disappointed…we
just lost more than a month,” he
said. As part of the conditions the
county agreed to, the Wegmans
store must be completed on time or
the deal is subject to default.
Despite the setback, Richardson said it is still sticking to its original finishing date. He said that it
hopes to break ground this fall.

EDC fosters child entrepreneurs at ‘Kidpreneur Day’
to help her cousin, who has a rare

pitch.
The day was also filled with
Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Ledo’s
Pizza, a NASA demonstration, a
clown performance and keynote
speeches from Gabrielle Jordan,
who started her jewelry company
when she was nine years old, and
April Richardson, president and
chief executive officer (CEO) of
D.C. Sweet Potato Cakes.
EDC CEO Jim Coleman said
he was inspired to create this “oneof-a-kind imitative” by both his experience as CEO of his family farm
when he was 12 years old and by
when he met Ava Valentine and
Gabrielle Williams, who are both
young county entrepreneurs.
“Kids at this age, when they’re
nine to 12, this is when they’re most
innovative. That’s when they’re
most inquisitive. They want to learn
and understand,” Coleman said.
“And I want to tap into that before
we start telling them to ‘shhhh, stop
talking. Be quiet.’ I want them to be
fired up. I want them to ask questions.”
Coleman met Williams
through a business forum held at a
community church in south county.
Williams had brought her mom,
Vernice Williams, along to the
meetings so the two of them could
seek out opportunities to grow her
cupcake business.
Coleman said he was instantly
inspired by Williams’ drive and
came back to his team to immediately begin planning for a childbased business day, which Vernice
said is an amazing opportunity for
not only her daughter but other children with similar dreams and drive.
“A lot of times you see major
corporations, they’re going for
adults. The ones with the grand
ideas: the Googles, the Yahoos,”
Vernice said. “That’s where they’re
going, and they’re not looking at
our children anymore. So for them
to have something like this or even
consider doing this because of
Gabrielle, it meant a lot to me.”
the EDC and is thankful they held
the workshop.
“I think it means a lot, because
I don’t think kids get taken that seriously. Like, when you walk up to
a person on the street handing out
business cards and they ask ‘is this
your mother’s business,’” she said.
“And then you say ‘no its mine’
and they laugh at you.”

Muriel Garr, a representative of SunTrust who worked with the EDC and
Operation HOPE, helps children set up finance plans for their future
businesses during ‘Kidpreneur Day’ at the EDC.
She said the EDC helped pave
a path for her daughter to be successful, as Coleman took Williams
under his wing and helped her learn
how to make Glorious Pastries by
Gabrielle successful.
“Words can’t explain how
blessed I am,” Vernice said. “Because had it really not been for the
Economic Development core team,
none of this would be happening.”
Although the entire day was
young adult focused, the course
material did not do the knowledgehungry business starters a disservice. Teachers from Operation
HOPE, Inc. walked the students
through profits and revenues, insurance options, taxes, desirable
employee qualities and much
more.
Audre Dabney, 10, was one of
those children interested in creating his own business and his parents brought him to the workshop
to learn more about the process.
Dabney dreams of becoming
what he calls a car realtor, where he
would take on clients and help
them find a car by doing the research, cost evaluation and purchasing for them.
“People in my family are al-
ways asking me, ‘hey, I’m trying to
get a new car. What car should I
get?’ And because I like cars, they
keep on asking me and I help
them,” he said.
Dabney said he wants to help
“pretty much everybody” 16 and
older. He said one of the most important things he learned at the
workshop is business people often
help each other by networking and
he and another a boy, who wants to
start a clothing business, entered
into a deal – he would help the other boy buy cars for his business in
exchange for custom t-shirts.
While his parents take his passion seriously, Dabney said it
means a lot to him that the EDC is
taking him and other young entrepreneurs seriously too and helping
them achieve their dreams.

Community leaders question Baker, Davis on county issues
From “Meeting” page 1
the county council, the board of education and the county executive’s
office.
“We’ll kick the ball around in
regard to that. We’ve got to get the
right bodies sitting at the table
around issues like (Maggett) just described,” he said.
Baker said his office employs
an education liaison and a Commission for Education Excellence to
help guide education policy in the
county. He said if residents have
specific concerns, like Maggett’s,
conveying those specifics to his office would help in getting detailed
explanations, or in creating change.
“We’ve got to be very specific
as to what we’re talking about. We
can’t talk in generalities. When we
do that, (the school system) gives
me general answers, general information. They go ‘oh no, our curriculum is on target,’” he said. “But if
you say, ‘at Beacon Heights this is
what’s going on, at Central High
School this is what’s going on.’ If
you know there are bad personnel
out there, or we want to be able to
raise a disagreement, we need to
know that.”
Another disagreement on many
people’s minds involved the regional medical center planned for Largo.
The Maryland Health Care Commission, the state regulator who
must approve a Certificate of Need
before the hospital can be built, said
in May the plans would need to be
scaled back to get approval. County
officials, as well as the community
leaders present, disagreed strongly
with the commission’s $100 million
cuts.
“We don’t think the hospital
needs to be reduced. Experts in the
medical field drew that hospital up,”
Baker said.
Community association leaders
said they would have liked to be involved in lobbying the governor to
return to the original plan, to make
their voices and their organizing
power heard early on rather than
playing catch-up.
Baker agreed such input would
be valuable.
“It’s your hospital. It’s our hospital. And this is the standard we
want. And we’re going to ask you to
talk to your representatives in An-
napolis, but also to the governor.
Tell them we are not going to accept
anything less,” he said.
But he and Davis argued that it
is prudent to go through the normal
legal channels to appeal the decision, including writing a formal
counter-proposal with input from
three agencies (which is due by
Aug. 31), before making it a political issue.
“We have a responsibility to go
through the process. We are doing
due diligence in all of the work that
is required by the people who
changed the rules in the middle of
the game,” Davis said. “What we’re
saying to you is, if they continue to
persist in changing the rules, then
we might have to make a political
noise. This is not a political issue.
This is a health care and this is an
economic development issue.”
Still, the communities want to
help join the fight to bring the more
than $600 million project to completion.
“I think the community has to
be engaged,” said Samuel Dean of
the Lake Arbor Foundation. “Because we can raise all the hell we
want to raise, but politics works in
mysterious ways. My thing is that
there has to be a hearing (on this)
now, and we need to know (about it)
so that we can come out in force.”
Davis assured them he would
keep them in the loop and enlist
their help if necessary to make the
hospital happen.
“I will yell when help is needed,” he said.
Federal judge halts Purple Line construction over safety concerns
From “Purple Line” page 1
cluded a train derailment, red light
overruns, and a Metro Transit Police officer’s arrest for attempting
to aid ISIS in just the last two
weeks – are impossible to ignore.
“Nor can I turn a blind eye to
the recent extraordinary events involving seemingly endless Metrorail breakdowns and safety issues,”
he wrote. “These serious issues,
which may have long-term effects
on Metro ridership, only underscore how important it was for defendants to take the requisite hard
look at the potential effect of
Metro’s safety issues on future Purple Line ridership.”
When asked for a comment
from Metro, media relations staffer
Richard Jordan simply said, “Purple Line is not a Metro project,”
and directed questions to MTA.
Leon’s decision comes as a result of a lawsuit filed by citizens in
Montgomery County that challenged the Purple Line under federal environmental and transportation statues. Friends of the Capital
Crescent Trail, an advocacy group
fighting the line’s construction because the proposed path of the line
would destroy the trail, expressed
its support for the ruling.
“This ruling sends a very
strong signal to the state of Maryland and any subdivision, such as
Montgomery County, to cease any
harmful action ahead of the law
against the Georgetown Branch of
the Capital Crescent Trail, the trees
that line it and the parks through
which it passes,” said Ajay Bhatt,
president of Friends of the Capital
Crescent Trail.
The judge’s ruling did not directly address any of the environmental claims the lawsuit raised.
Christine Real de Azua, a citizen also named as a plaintiff in the
suit, said the outcome was a group
effort.
“A long list of experts volunteered their research and analysis
to unearth the truth about this project's costs and what it would do to
our environment and human health
and safety,” she said. “Together,
this team is showing that common
sense and the law can prevail as we
all seek what is truly in the public
interest.”
But many state and Prince
George's County officials are unhappy with last week’s ruling.
Maryland Transportation Secretary Pete Rahn was unable to provide a detailed comment because
ADVERTISE
the case is still considered pending,
but did send a short statement,
which read, “We are deeply disappointed this ruling puts the Purple
Line in jeopardy. We will work
closely with the attorney general to
seek a quick decision from the
court of appeals.”
County Executive Rushern
Baker III also called for Attorney
General Brian Frosh and Gov. Larry Hogan to appeal Leon’s decision
and “take every possible step to ensure that it will not delay the beginning of construction.”
Construction on the 16.2-mile
light rail line was scheduled to
commence this fall in Prince
George’s County. It is unknown
what the new timeline for the project might be.
Baker also said while the current issues at WMATA are serious,
in
Call Lonnie Johnson at 301-306-9500

he believes the agency will be able
to improve and re-attract riders for
both Metrorail and the Purple Line.
“As serious as Metro’s maintenance and safety issues are, we
have confidence that commuter
confidence will return and ridership on Metro will rebound well in
advance of the projected opening
of the Purple Line and that this decision is without merit,” he said in
a statement.
He also stressed the benefits of
the project for the county.
“The need for this vital eastwest transportation link has never
been more clear,” he said. “Prince
George’s County residents strongly
support the Purple Line, and welcome the transportation link it will
provide to our communities, connecting them to jobs, recreation
and educational opportunities.”

Council picks firm for city manager search

Call Lonnie Johnson at (301) 306-9500
or email to [email protected]
GREENBELT – The normally
unified Greenbelt City Council
could not come to a consensus
Monday night as it debated competing proposals from executive
search firms to begin the process of
hiring a new city manager.
Competing resolutions were
introduced at the meeting, one to
contract with the Novak Consulting Group for $21,800 and one to
choose GovHR USA for $21,000.
The GovHR bid was selected in a
tight 4-3 vote. Supporters of
GovHR were Edward Putens, Leta
Mach, Rodney Roberts and Mayor
Pro Tem Judith Davis, while Mayor Emmett Jordan and Councilmembers Silke Pope and Konrad
Herling broke for Novak.
GovHR USA is based in
Northbrook, Ill. and started in 2014
from the merger of two smaller
firms. According to a letter from
President Heidi Voorhees, GovHR
principals handle all services, and
the company is committed to “integrity, trust and respect toward all
parties involved.”
The council stressed that both
firms were well qualified to conduct the search for a city manager
to replace Michael McLaughlin,
who is stepping down at the end of
this year. Both groups said the
search would take between 90 and
120 days. Davis said both firms
would tailor their searches to
Greenbelt’s unique needs, have extensive databases and networks of
potential candidates, would provide the complete candidate list to
the council, would perform deep
background checks, stress diversity, and are owned by women.
“It’s not going to be an easy
decision. The decision is going to
be along fine points that each individual person has,” she said.
The council members who
voted for GovHR did so because of
its long history of successful executive searches.
“The biggest point is experience. When asked about how many
city managers, how many executive searches, this is Novak – front
and back, 36 (searches),” Putens
said, holding up information sheets
provided by the company. “This is
GovHR, five pages, front and back,
of all executive searches.”
The GovHR letter says the
company has conducted more than
300 recruitments.
Mach said she liked that the
company offers mentoring and career counseling to people who
might be interested in a career in
city management. And Putens said
the firm was not engaged in any
other similar searches in the area,
giving them more time to devote to
Greenbelt.
“They’re not actually involved
in any other searches going on in
this area that would detract from the
search for our city manager,” he
said.
Conversely, Mayor Jordan said
he liked that Novak had a lot of experience working in the local area,
meaning they did not have to get to
know the county and could “hit the
ground running.”
“I feel their local presence.
Their staff person actually grew up
in PG and is a resident in the area.
On the upfront side of things, I
think we would get more attention
in terms of having a person physically here,” he said.
Herling added the local communities who worked with Novak
gave it positive reviews. And he
said he was impressed by the firm’s
process, which includes spelling
out clearly what will be expected of
the new city manager.
“I support Novak to conduct
that search for these reasons: establishing first-year goals of council
and the community, which will give
the new city manager clarity of
what we wish the new city manager
to execute (and) working with other
nearby communities, and Novak
has, I see as a positive,” he said.
The resolution selecting
GovHR was introduced, then the
rules suspended to allow a second
reading and final vote that same
evening. Some in the community
expressed concern that they had
not gotten to provide input in the
firm selection prior to the vote, and
Roberts agreed with those criticisms.
“In my opinion, this is a
process that could have and should
have been opened to the public,” he
said, after apologizing to the citizens. “When we selected a group to
manage our theater, we had an
open, public process where people
could come and actually ask questions of the people that wanted to
come and work for you, the citizens. The city manager ultimately
works for the citizens and not just
the city council.”
But Jordan said the vote Monday was only to select which firm
would get the contract, which is a
responsibility the city council has
always undertaken.
“This is selecting a contractor.
It’s not the actual search,” he said.
Davis elaborated on the point,
saying the council would be getting
input from citizens and the city’s
various advisory groups before actually choosing the person to fill
the city manager role.
“The community and everyone will be involved with the
search firm that we decide. Both of
them were very much interested in
wanting to work with us in wanting
to involve the community up
front,” she said. “Nothing has been
decided as yet as to the requirements, qualifications or anything
about a proposed city manager.
That will be decided by the community.”
She said the GreenACES environmental group has already begun
drafting a letter to the council expressing their desire that the city
manager be committed to sustainability and the environment, while
another letter was forthcoming to
push for considering diversity as a
factor with the hiring.
Roberts vowed to hold
GovHR and the council to Davis’
assertion.
“I hope the rest of this process,
we do a lot better job and it is an
open process,” he said.

Students explore health careers through candy striper program
By Andrea Blackstone
@andreablackston
CLINTON – Candy stripers of
yesteryear were often teenage girls
who volunteered in hospitals to make
a patient’s stay there more pleasant.
Although the Candy Striper program originated in the 1940s, today
both male and female high school
students from Prince George’s and
Charles counties who are selected to
complete MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center’s (MSMHC’s)
candy striper program have meaningful opportunities to sample healthcare
fields during the summer.
Joanne Johnson, the volunteer
services coordinator for the hospital
located in Clinton, said two young
men and 16 young women participated in the competitive seven to eightweek Summer Youth Volunteer Program. It combines traditional candy
striper duties with newer educational
opportunities such as the ability to
work as volunteers in various areas of
the hospital and experience
MSMHC’s Mobile Lab, where youth
volunteers learn to treat a robotic patient. Lunch-and-learn presentations
on healthcare topics or other educational activities given by physicians,
nurses and therapists are also offered,
although candy stripers do not have
clinical duties.
“What we do here each summer
is allow high school students between
ages 15 and 17 to have an opportunity
to volunteer at the hospital in different departments,” Johnson said.
“Most of the time we try to place
them in an area where they’re interested in when they apply, because
they have to fill out an application,
write an essay, (submit) recommendation letters, submit their grades and
do an interview, so it’s actually a selection process. It’s set up so the students who have an interest in a medical career, or even an interest in volunteering in a hospital, will be able to
interact here at the hospital where
they can meet with different doctors,
nurses, physicians, things like that.
Johnson said the program allows
students to get the community service
hours they need for school, get expo-

MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center’s candy striper program gives youth a glimpse at healthcare fields through volunteerism. Although candy
stripers do not have clinical duties, they participate in a variety of supportive roles that teach them how a hospital works. This program can help
students earn community service hours while volunteering and exploring which medical careers may interest them.
sure to the hospital and gain knowledge of the different medical fields
they’re interested in.
Amaya Jernigan, 16, is a
MSMHC candy striper program participant and works on an orthopedic
floor where some patients are getting
knees or other body parts replaced.
Amaya said shadowing medical professionals in different areas has provided valuable insight and she has
learned secretarial functions along
with other skills. She answered
phones, escorted patients and learned
how to page nurses. However, the
student who attends Westlake High
School in Waldorf already has a career path in mind.
“When I get older, I’d like to be
an orthopedic doctor,” Jernigan said.
“The most rewarding part about be-
ing here (at MSMHC) throughout
the summer for me, it was that I’ve
got a step ahead in my career already.
I’ve already been in the environments of where I want to be.”
Niyetce Johnson, 17, wanted to
get involved in the candy striper program because she aspires to become
a neurosurgeon. In addition to having
an opportunity to be involved in the
community, she felt being in a hospital environment would help her to
determine if a hospital was really a
place she would truly want to work.
The Elizabeth Seton High
School student volunteered on a
floor where neurosurgeons work.
She said she realized patients do not
want to be in the hospital, so asking
simple things like if they need water
or talking to them can make them
feel more comfortable. Niyetce also
gained insight on the importance of
providing compassionate patient
care and maintaining communication.
“Something I learned here that I
didn’t expect to learn is how important it is to effectively communicate
with patients and really give them
that feeling and compassion, because
it really goes a long way,” she said.
Another volunteer, 16-year-old
Carsen Essing, will soon begin her
junior year at North Point High
School. She worked with medical
staff all summer and was able to observe behind-the-scenes aspects of
patient care. Volunteering as a candy
striper gave Essing desired exposure
to the medical field as she explores
which healthcare occupation she
may pursue.
“I want to work in the medical
field. I am not sure what specialty I
would like, but I was hoping that doing this would help me to decide to
see what I liked to determine what I
wanted to do,” she said. “I think a lot
of people just see the doctors and
don’t realize there are a lot of people
behind the scenes who don’t do medical things, who work just as hard.”
Johnson said at the end of the
summer, volunteers who will be rising high school seniors, who provided 75 hours volunteering and meet
other qualifications can apply for the
Candy Striper Volunteer Scholarship. To find out more about the program, visit www.medstarsouthernmaryland.org and search for volunteer opportunities.

Means stifles Richmond, Baysox split series with Squirrels
By Shawn McFarland
Managing Editor
BOWIE – Although the 2016
baseball season has not drawn
many comparisons to their 2015
Eastern League championship season, the Bowie Baysox have continued to fight each and every game.
So was the case Sunday afternoon, as Bowie squared off with the
Richmond Flying Squirrels hoping
to even the best-of-four series.
Thanks to some solid pitching
from starter John Means, and the
offense manufacturing runs by any
means possible, the Baysox defeated Richmond 6-4 and won their
49th game of the season.
The game didn’t start out well
for Means, who gave up two runs in
the first inning on a two-out double
to Chris Shaw. However, after that,
the 6-foot-3 left-hander hunkered
down and surrendered just two hits
and a solo homer over the next four
innings of work.
“Nobody likes to go out there
and give up runs,” Baysox Manager
Gary Kendall said. “(Means) went
out and gave up two runs early, but
then he really settled in. He pitched
to contact and went after hitters. He
really regrouped.
“His count was real high after
the first two innings. I think he was
around 50 pitches. But he settled in
and was really efficient for the next
three innings. We needed him to get
to at least the fifth inning and he
gave us what we needed.”
Means’ final line read as five
innings pitched, four hits and three
earned runs with one walk and six
strikeouts.
Meanwhile, it took Bowie’s offense a few innings to get going.
After collecting a hit in each of the
first two innings, the Baysox loaded
the bases in the third with one out.
Unfortunately, Henry Urrutia
grounded into a double play to end
the rally.
It wasn’t until the fourth that
Bowie finally broke through. The
first three batters reached base via
two walks and an error before Chris

Bowie starter John Means throws a pitch during the Baysox’s game with Richmond on Sunday. Means allowed three runs while earning the win in
Bowie’s 6-4 victory.
O’Brien plated the team’s first run
on a sacrifice fly. Adrian Marin followed with a single that allowed
Garabez Rosa to score on an error.
With the run, Rosa moved into
fourth place all-time in Bowie history with 190 runs scored.
Two batters later, Drew Dosch
laced a single into right field to
plate two more runs. Kendall recently moved the third baseman to
the top of the order and the switch
has paid off.
“When we were on the road we
moved (Dosch) to the top of the order,” Kendall said. “Actually, he
was leading off for us for a while
when (Julio) Borbon wasn’t here.
And I like the lineup with Borbon,
Dosch, and (Chance) Sisco.
“Drew is a guy who can hit the
hole with a runner on first base. He
is swinging the bat much better
these last two or three weeks. I
think he went from the .220s to the
.250s. His on-base percentage has
improved, so he has provided us
with a lot there.”
O’Brien added a solo shot in
the sixth before Joey Terdoslavich
doubled in Sisco in the seventh.
It would be all the scoring
Bowie would need as its bullpen
took over and shut things down. Jesus Liranzo replaced Means in the
sixth and fired two innings of no-hit
ball, striking out three. Parker Bridwell and Donnie Hart then came in
in the eighth and ninth innings, respectively, to close things out. Although Hart did allow a solo homerun in the ninth, he recorded a
strikeout en route to his fourth save
on the year.
“Prior to going to Akron, our
bullpen had a streak going where I
think it got up to around 20 innings
of scoreless baseball,” Kendall said.
“The guys out there have really
been doing the job of coming in and
giving us a lot of length and being
really efficient with their pitches.”
Bowie improves to 49-65 on
the year and will host New Hampshire for a three-game series starting Aug. 9

Langley Park celebrates National Night Out with CASA
@Candacerojo
LANGELY PARK – At a time
when tensions between minority
communities and police officers are
on full display, in part due to vigilant
activists and social media, communities from across the county and the
country came together with their local officers for a common cause – to
stop violence and crime in their
neighborhoods.
On Aug. 2, CASA, along with
the Langley Park community, members of Prince George’s County Police Department (PGPD) and local
political leaders, celebrated National
Night Out Against Crime, better
known as National Night Out.
“National Night Out is a great
opportunity for us to share our
spaces, as community members, and
come together to give a positive response to violence,” said Alma Couverthie, senior director of community organizing at CASA. “These are
our open spaces and is our home. We
need to be able to enjoy them with-

out violence and to maintain a good
relationship with police officers.”
National Night Out, an annual,
nationwide, community-building
campaign built to promote a policecommunity partnership and neigh-
borly camaraderie, was started in
1984 by the National Association of
Town Watch with funds from the
U.S. Department of Justice’s Bureau
of Justice. The event, built around
introducing local police to the community through fun engagement,
was initiated as a way to prevent
crime and “create safer places to
live,” according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
“With what’s been going on recently in the news and we see a lot of
issues between communities and police, this is the perfect time where we
can actually have an event that
brings the community and police together,” said Del. Carlo Sanchez
(D), who represents District 47B.
CASA’s celebration Tuesday
echoed those founding principles
and brought the community of Langley Park together with members of
PGPD, but they made their day incredibly unique by adding a little
music to the mix.

Hyattsville municipal building may become homes by 2020
@candacerojo
HYATTSVILLE – Hyattsville’s City Council may have
not yet found a new home, but that
hasn’t stopped city administration
from seeking new ideas for the site
of the current municipal building.
At the Aug. 1 city council
meeting, two competing firms presented their ideas for the future of
the building and the future of Gallatin Street. With both firms supply-
ing the council with their vision, one
a multistory apartment complex and
the other net-zero town homes, the
city will likely see new residences
and new residents by 2020.
Jim Chandler, assistant city administrator, said the city council authorized city staff to seek and evaluate opportunities for reinvesting or
redeveloping 4310 Gallatin Street in
2015.
“As part of that discussion, we
discussed paths forward, which included retaining and renovating
4310 Gallatin Street, opportunities
for the redevelopment for public
purposes and as an additional position, solicitation for the redevelopment for private use,” Chandler
said.
Earlier this year the city issued
a solicitation for proposals for the
area. Though the developers’ presentations were made at the meeting, Chandler said it is just the beginning of the discussion in which
there will be more public input and
several council conversations.
If the city does choose to move
forward with the redevelopment option, they would have to find a new
place to house city offices and the
city council, though plans are already in motion to move the city’s
police department to 3505 Hamilton
Street.
“We think this is an opportunity
for a very engaged conversation,”
Chandler said, suggesting an open
house-like meeting in the fall for residents to have personal interactions
with the plans and their developers.
The two development teams
who presented comprised of Flywheel Development, LLC partnered
with GreenSpace Investment, LCC,
and Dillon/Warner. While both proposals were for residential development, they differed greatly in purpose and design.
Flywheel, which prides itself
on rebuilding urban neighborhoods,
presented a proposal for a development they called “Arcade Row.”

District Heights moves forward months after mayor’s death
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
DISTRICT HEIGHTS – In a
town hit by tragedy just three
months ago, hope for the future is
springing eternal.
On May 12, the city of District
Heights lost its three-term mayor,
James Walls, Jr., not even a week after Walls’ 39th birthday. The city
was hit hard by the loss, but as it celebrates the 80th anniversary of its
incorporation, District Heights is
moving forward with a new mayor
at the helm.
Jack Sims, a city commissioner
since 2007, was sworn in on July 11.
He will serve as mayor until the next
regular municipal election in 2018.
“It was kind of solemn because
we never thought Mayor Walls
would be gone so soon. I can’t even
begin to explain the shock,” he said.
Sims had previously served as
mayor from 1997-2003 (three
terms) and was the first AfricanAmerican elected to the position.
Prior to that, he was vice-mayor in
1994 and commissioner for police
and code enforcement from 19931995.
Sims was replaced as commissioner for public works by
Johnathan Medlock, a 20-year federal employee. Sims said he believes Medlock is up for the task,
calling him “articulate, smart, (and)
passionate.”
Sims also had words of praise
for the late Walls, whom he worked
with throughout the years.
“We were really chums and we
worked well together. I consider
myself part of the team and we
agreed on a lot of things,” he said. “I
want to finish out Mayor Walls’
term in a way that completes his
legacy.”
Two major projects the city is
undertaking this year were championed by Walls, and Sims said he is
committed to completing them.
Those projects include the construction of a new youth services building and the expansion of the municipal building to incorporate a senior
center.
“That was one of (Walls’) major projects,” Sims said. “We’re really excited about that.”
After receiving approval from
the Prince George’s Planning Board
last month, groundbreaking on both
projects is set to take place this fall.
Sims said the city is contemplating honoring Walls by naming
the senior center in his honor.
“That’s been talked about. I
know the commissioners were considering that. I can’t speak that it
was absolute, but I know I would
want it named after him,” he said.
Walls, who was the youngest
person ever elected mayor as well as
the youngest to serve as vice mayor
and a city commissioner, was found
dead in the living room of his home
on May 12. Prince George’s County
Police investigated the case. They
did not respond to a request for information about the outcome of that
investigation, but stated at the time
that no signs of foul play were found
and they believed an underlying
medical condition could be to
blame.
City, state and county leaders
were swift to offer their condolences following Walls’ death. Gov.
Larry Hogan called him a “dedicated and beloved public servant,” and
County Executive Rushern Baker
III praised his “strong passion for
this county” and “dedication and
tenacity.”
The same can be said of Sims,
who said his transition to mayor
went smoothly.
“Whenever
government
changes, it’s kind of rocky,” he said.
“But I think the commissioners tend
to have more of a team spirit versus
an ‘I-spirit:’ ‘I, I, I’ instead of ‘we.’
When you have a team spirit it
means you can move forward together. I don’t see any major problems with the transition. It was a
matter of us coming together to continue (Walls’) legacy.”
Sims also said he wants to pursue some goals of his own during
his two years as mayor. He wants to
do a better job of marketing the city,
particularly to first-time homebuyers, restructure the city’s charter and
rework aspects of how elections are
handled in District Heights.
“I want to do some things that
will enhance the city,” he said.

Langley Park celebrates National Night Out with CASA
From “CASA” page E-1
trumpets and signs, the community
marched with Banda El Pulgarcito
USA through the neighborhood
from CASA’s Multicultural Center
to the local Boys & Girls Club.
Del. Alonzo Washington (D),
who serves as CASA’s senior manager for housing and community development, helped put together the
event. It was the first ever Langley
Park National Night Out.
“The purpose of it is to send the
message out about trying to bridge
the community and police department divide and also to send out the
message that we’re here to stop the
violence in our neighborhood and
bring down the crime, by building
that divide,” Washington said.
Langley Park is in particular
need of these community-building
events with local law enforcement,
Washington said, because the population primarily consists of immigrant and Spanish-speaking residents. He said it is incredibly important that the community knows its
police officers and that the police are
able to communicate with those they
interact with.
During the event, local officers
interacted with the community,
shook hands with children and
talked about the importance of good
relations between the community
and law enforcement.
Jo Perez, the president of the
Hispanic American Police Command Officer’s Association and
president of the Hispanic National
Law Enforcement Association,
spoke at the event.
He said National Night Out is
important because it brings people
together. He is a member of the community too and events like this show
residents the police are approachable, they’re neighbors and they
want to help.
“My Spanish is not very good,”
he told the gathered crowd in Spanish. “But my intentions are very
good.”
The event Tuesday was capped
off with free food, painting stations
for children, a soccer match and ended with a viewing of “Spare Parts,” a
movie about Latino youth who sign
up for a national robotics competition.
Members of Banda El Pulgarcito USA march while playing trombones at
Langley Park’s National Night Out. Alongside the community, they
marched from the CASA multicultural center to the boys & girls club.
Hyattsville’s municipal building may be turned into homes by 2020
From “Hyattsville” page E-1
The $15.3 million project includes
31 individual townhomes in the
64,560 square foot area. The proposal also suggested creating a new
street on the north side of the property by taking back 15 feet of land.
The houses proposed would be
net-zero, passive housing, meaning
they create as much energy as they
use and would be made with proper
insulation, no air leakage, no thermal bridging, high-performance
windows and energy recovery ventilation. They would feature three
bedrooms, two and a half baths, a
two car garage, small backyards, a
front stoop and a basement.
John Miller, from Flywheel,
said the units would sell for an anticipated $495,000 and Roger Collison of Beracah Homes said the
homes would be made in a factory
and brought to the site for installation. This keeps the home out of the
elements during initial construction
and interior installation.
“We are excited about this site
plan,” Miller said. “It is something
that, after working on this and look-
ing at a half dozen options, it is
something we think maximizes the
value and the urban characteristics
of this particular site.”
If the city found a new home
for their administrative offices and
moved in by winter of 2018, Flywheel anticipates the project being
completed by the end of the spring
of 2020.
The other proposal, from Dillon/Warner, is a six-story apartment
complex that includes artists’ lofts, a
community area, small public
plazas, courtyards and a green roof.
The project is titled “Gallatin Lofts”
and is aiming for high density development.
The building would hold 126
units with approximately five artist
lofts, 12 studio apartments, 58 onebedroom, 47 two-bedroom and four
three-bedroom apartments. It
would also have 184 total parking
spaces to share between residents,
guests and workers in the building.
That totals approximately 1.5
spaces per unit.
Scott Foster, with BCT Architects, said the building will be sustainable with green design, includ-
ing a green roof, high indoor air
quality standards and rain water
collection.
Foster said the design of the
building works off of nearby inspirations such as St. Jerome Catholic
Church, Vigilante Coffee and the
Pyramid Atlantic Arts Center currenrly being renovated. He described the proposed design as a
“play of colors and forms and additions and subtractions.”
“We strongly feel that this
building design will help further
provide the place, encourage community and provide a sustainable
project for the Hyattsville Arts District through the density, public
uses and building design that we’re
proposing,” Foster said.
Greg
Dillon,
from
Dillon/Warner, said the apartment
rent prices would be comparable to
others in the Hyattsville area and
would be set by the market value.
Currently he anticipates rent for the
apartments to run approximately $2
per square foot or around $1,000 to
$1,200 for a studio apartment. A
two-bedroom apartment would cost
more than $2,000 a month.

MGM selects venues, staff as opening nears
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
OXON HILL – As the new
MGM resort and casino at National
Harbor rises into the sky, the inside is
filling with staff and venues in preparation for a December opening representatives say is still on schedule.
The past month has seen several
updates regarding the progress of the
billion-dollar complex. In mid-July,
MGM announced the formation of
Aspire, a new program to allow select county residents and state minority business enterprises to purchase a
minor ownership stake in the resort
and casino.
The company also announced
two new, unique entertainment and
nightlife venues that will be coming
to the resort. Clique Hospitality, a
Las Vegas-based boutique hospitality company, has designed two new
lounges to serve visitors, Felt Bar &
Lounge and Blossom Cocktail
Lounge.
Andy Masi, co-founder and
chief executive officer of Clique,
said the goal was to reflect local and
regional style.
“The big thing was everyone
wanted to really respect the local development and the local surroundings,” he said.
Blossom is designed to evoke
the yearly cherry blossom blooming
and festival in Washington, D.C., and
will feature in-lounge gaming tables.
Felt will be an indoor-outdoor bar
with a terrace that overlooks the nation’s capital.
Bill Boasberg, general manager
for MGM National Harbor, said the
plans for both venues are “absolutely
stunning.”
“We have a lot of lounges in our
company and I think these are probably the best ones we’ve got,” he said.
“I think in general we’re extremely
excited to try to offer a new resort experience to the region.”
The Felt Bar will also integrate
both live and DJ-provided music, as
well as tableside mixology, a first in
the region.
Mixologists will go table to
table and make their mixed beverages as customers watch, ask ques-
tions and otherwise engage with the
process. Masi said he was looking
for local mixologists to come together to create the drink menus at Felt.
“There are a lot of great bars
throughout the D.C. and Prince
George’s County area. So one of the
things is to try to find those great
mixologists in the area and see what
they have come up with,” Masi said.
He said he wants locals to be a
big part of the main clientele for both
venues. Local buy-in is vital to their
success, Masi said, and he has already gotten great feedback from
those he has interacted with.
“We want to create a local hangout. We want to figure out how to get
the right staff, the right people involved and how to get the right people to come to the bar,” he said.
County Executive Rushern
Baker III, a strong advocate for the
resort, told a group of community
leaders on Aug. 4 he only supported
the MGM development because it
would be a complete entertainment
facility, attracting more than just
those interested in gambling.
“I guarantee you, what we’re
doing down there will bring people
for entertainment value. It won’t just
be about slot machines and table
games,” he said.
Local hiring is also of major importance to Prince George’s officials,
and quotas for local hiring and contracting with minority businesses
have been established for MGM.
Boasberg said he did not have exact
figures on hand, but said MGM is
“exceeding all our commitments.”
At its most recent briefing before the county council (March 22),
MGM representatives said contracting was on-target in all categories
except local minority businesses.
This week, Boasberg said the
resort has hired approximately 200
employees, in addition to the 2,500
workers on site daily for construction and other tasks.
“The talent base has been great
so far. We couldn’t be happier with
the team members we’ve hired.
Everyone is excited, as employees,
to come and join our team. You can
feel it. They have a great attitude,”
he said.
Masi said hiring for the
nightlife venues will be “100 percent
local, D.C. and Prince George’s
County.” Hiring will begin in midSeptember and the venues will open
at the same time the rest of the resort
does.
In terms of construction, Boasberg said the resort’s glass exterior is
nearly complete; the MGM letters
have been placed atop the building.
Last week, MGM initiated purchasing gaming equipment like slot machines and tables being for the casino floor.
MGM is also moving forward
with filling the buildings with personnel to run the show once the resort opens.
Operations staff will make up
more than one-third of the entire
workforce, Boasberg said. Hires include Alex Alvarado as vice president of slot operations, Jeffrey Elmore as vice president of table
games, Johnny Grooms as director
of poker, William Zeralsky as vice
president of national marketing,
Cynthia So as vice president of
Asian marketing and Dominic Marci as vice president of customer development. The casino also announced the hiring of Max Fisher as
vice president and chief financial officer for MGM National Harbor.
MGM opened its employment
center in June to attract and train local residents to fill other positions
throughout the organization.
“All the job positions are posted
and we’re moving forward with all
our mass hiring,” Boasberg said.
That hiring will pave the way
for a grand opening that is still projected for the fourth quarter of this
year, Boasberg said. He and Masi
are both excited to show off their facility to the public.
“I’m super excited to be a part
of the entertainment complex. It’s a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to
build something from the ground
up,” Masi said.
Boasberg said, “As a company,
we can’t wait to unveil this amazing
resort to everyone. It’s one of the
finest ever designed and built. Expectations are high, but I think we’re
going to exceed expectations.”

Laurel Police hold ‘Pokémon
Go Walk’ at Riverfront Park
By Ajoya Long
Special to The Sentinel
www.thesentinel.com
The Sentinel website is here
Much more news and information
from and about your community
as close as your fingertips
LAUREL – Hardcore video
game players and newbies alike are
enjoying the most popular game
around today: “Pokémon Go.”
The game has garnered a lot of
buzz in recent weeks, and as a result, has taken the mobile gaming
industry by storm.
The game brought together
Prince George’s County residents at
a “Pokémon Go” Walk event that
was put together by the Laurel Police Department and took place at
the Riverfront Park on Aug. 7.
“Pokémon Go” is a video
game app that uses a phone’s GPS
and clock to display a player’s
physical surroundings on a screen
as virtual reality. The object of the
game is to search for animated
Pokémon creatures, capture them
and battle with other players. The
free app is available for iOS and
Android users. The game has made
a comeback as a spinoff from Nintendo’s Pokémon show and card
game that first came out in the
1990s.
The game is credited with the
increase in physical activity among
people from all over who are starting to leave the comforts of their
home in search of the creatures.
Players have to physically move
about within certain areas, depending on location, in order to “catch
‘em all,” a phrase coined by the
franchise to describe an attempt to
capture all of the creatures.
Those who came out to the
event walked along the pathways of
Riverfront Park. The event attracted
young children and adults from different cities in the county.
Also in attendance at the event
was Mayor Craig Moe, who expressed his appreciation of the
event’s turnout rate and the importance of police-community relations.
“I think it’s a great opportunity
to bring police and the community
together. It’s important that we establish relationships with the community and get people out here together,” Moe said.
It’s the first event of its kind
put on by the police department in
Laurel. Moe said he is pleased with
the event and wants to offer more.
“We will definitely put on another event for the community in
the near future,” he said.
Even though “Pokémon Go” is
a seemingly harmless game, reports
have recounted stories of players
who have gotten injured due to distractions while playing the game.
Maj. Patrick Bray hopes players become aware of potential safety risks
and urges players to remain attentive.
“There have been cases when
people were not paying attention.
Players should be accompanied
with an adult if they are young.
People should also be aware of their
surroundings at all times as a safety
precaution,” Bray said.
To ensure players were informed of all safety recommendations, the police department provided handouts about safety tips. Players were advised to be aware of
their surroundings, stay off private
property without permission, put
away cell phones when driving or
biking, cross the street at crosswalks, stay in well-lit areas, walk
with a group (preferably), and if
stopped by the police to follow their
instructions.
Players oftentimes become en-
grossed in the game, which can dull
safety senses.
“It’s addicting! You just want
to catch them all,” said Aubrey Garner from Severn, whose two kids
play the game and inspired her to
play along too. “I watched my kids
play the game and decided to play
too. I haven’t experienced any issues yet, but I had one friend whose
car was hit by another ‘Pokémon
Go’ player.”
Cpl. Zack Rexine, who was the
lead coordinator of the event, said
Laurel police officers have even
spotted people during odd times
and places at night playing the
game. Still, he believes “Pokémon
Go” is a unique way for the community to unite as a means to
strengthen relations and spark dialogue.
“It’s a fun way to interact with
the community. I came up with the
idea on the spot and just decided to
put together this event for residents,” he said. “The game transcends race, age and social limitations which makes it an ideal game
for everyone to enjoy.”
Pokéstops, which are places in
the game that allow players to collect items such as virtual eggs and
more Poke Balls to capture Pokémon, were located throughout the
park. Additionally, Pokémon lures
were placed to attract more and rarer wild Pokémon. Players also battled for the Riverfront Park “Pokémon Go” Gym in which one player
battles the Pokémon of rival players.
All participants were given raffle tickets for a chance to win a
prize. Some Laurel police officers

Thousands attend PGCPS’ sixth annual back-to-school fair
By Ajoya Long
Special to The Sentinel
UPPER MARLBORO – As
summer comes to an end, another
school year is set to begin.
As a way to welcome back
both students and parents, Prince
George’s County Public Schools
(PGCPS) put on the sixth annual
Back-to-School Fair inside The
Show Place Arena on Aug. 6.
Representatives from different county agencies and school officials were on site to inform those
in attendance about school matters
such as transportation, enrichment
programs and school policies.
Nearly 100 different vendors and
businesses joined in partnership to
promote their services that provide academic and social assistance for families. Booths were set
up throughout the arena that included brochures and other handouts for those seeking additional
information.
The supportive services available at the fair proved to be of
great value for families as an esitmated 4,000 people showed up at
the event, according to PGCPS
Community Outreach Specialist
Birgitt Brevard.
“We are such a large county
and we have much to offer. We are
not turning away anyone,” Brevard said. “One of the fair’s main
goals is to reach as many families
as possible so they can become
knowledgeable and equipped with
the tools needed for career success.
“This is a welcome back-toschool (event) for everyone. We
want to help families in the learning process and so we make sure
to include them in activities.”
PGCPS is aware that parent
and guardian involvement in their
child’s academic journey is crucial, so the fair also served as a
way to inform families about the
Family Institute. The program is
the first of its kind and is designed
to guide and teach parents and
guardians on how to facilitate academic growth in their child. The
workshops will run in sessions
and will be broken down into
strands as follows: Strand 1: Family Empowerment; Strand II: 21st
Century Learners; and Strand III:
Health and Wellness.
Community and Engagement
Specialist Desann Manzano-Lee
said the Family Institute will forge
positive relations among parents,
students and educators.
“(The Family Institute) will
help increase parents’ engagement
and participation. The workshops
are learning sessions for parents or
guardians to become educated on
the best practices to help their
child succeed academically. The
program will also help parents
with personal concerns they may
have of their own,” Manzano-Lee
said.
The official kick-off date of
the Family Institute is Sept. 10 at
Charles H. Flowers High School.
All of the workshops are free and
childcare will be provided.
Another key facet of the fair
was student health. Immunizations were available for students
in need of vaccinations. The
Maryland Partnership for Prevention and PGCPS Health Services
provided free vaccinations to incoming kindergarten, seventh and
ninth grade students. Approximately 177 students signed up for
vaccination services and even
more were expected to receive
shots.
Executive Director of Student
Services Adrian Talley believes
vaccinations are an important step
toward disease prevention and
caregivers should be advised of the
rules in order to enroll in school.
“Vaccinations are important
because they protect against diseases and other illness. Our goal is
to ensure that every county student
is vaccinated so they do not miss
out on school,” Talley said.
Talley also noted parents
should be mindful of the looming
deadline to get their child vaccinated.
“We just want to remind parents that no shots, no school,” Tal-
ley said.
The deadline for county students to be up-to-date on vaccinations is Aug. 23.
When families arrived at the
fair, they received one ticket per
child. In order to snag a free backpack, families had to first visit a
school representative, an office
and vendor, and have each sign
their initials on the ticket. Individuals had to present the ticket at the
Backpack Giveaway Station where
backpacks were handed out on a
first-come, first-serve basis.
These types of school supplies
were supplements for the essentials needed for students to perform in school. For Elena Alm, a
parent who has three children, the
fair allowed her to pick up extra
notebooks. Alm is new to the area
and said the fair was an opportunity to connect with other parents as
well.
“It’s really fun and I enjoy
meeting and talking to other people. I picked up a couple of notebooks so it helps with saving. This
is my first time at this event and it
gives me a chance to talk to others
about school. I plan to come back
next year,” Alm said.
For others, the fair was a reflection of PGCPS as a whole and
how it caters to its students and
parents. Shirley Mentis, a South
America native, came out to the
fair in support of her grandchildren
and believes the event offered
valuable information and tools to
community members who may be
less fortunate.
“The back-to-school fair is
excellent because they are providing assistance to families who really need it,” Mentis said.
She pointed out the large
crowd of people who came out and
noted the fair’s ability to maintain
structure.
“It is very well-organized and
the (volunteers) tell you where you
need to go and can assist you with
whatever you need. They have
very good things to offer to the
community,” Mentis said.

nab some free school supplies while in attendance.
cluding a few members of the
county’s board of education, were
on hand to answer any questions or
concerns. Vice Chair of the board
of education and District 6 member, Carolyn Boston was pleased
with the successful turnout and
praised the staff’s hard work and
efforts in coordinating.
“The school system and com-
munity staff are doing an awesome
job with putting on today’s event,”
Boston said. “I come out each year
to support the fair. It is a wonderful
opportunity for families to interact
with school officials. I think it’s
great for educators and parents to
come together.”
The first day of school for
county students is Aug. 23.

Doctson injury concerns, other camp battles ensue
By Daniel Kucin Jr.
Sports Editor
RICHMOND – Last week,
Washington Redskins wide receiver
Josh Doctson ventured around Bon
Secours Washington Redskins
Training Center in a walking boot
after dealing with an Achilles tendon injury. The first-round pick
from TCU has yet to participate in
any training camp workouts and reportedly appears to be taking his
time to make sure he will be ready
for the regular season.
Washington Redskins Head
Coach Jay Gruden insisted the
walking boot is merely a precaution
and the Redskins are hopeful the 6foot-3, 206-pound deep threat will
make an impact in due time when
fully healed.
"I think this thing is a sensitive
issue for him [Doctson], and he's the
one that's got to ultimately say,"
Gruden said on Doctson’s progression. "I think it's just a matter of, as
we gradually push him, how he responds, and I think that's the biggest
issue we have to deal with."
Washington has bolstered its
offensive unit with the addition of
tight end Vernon Davis and the extenting of Jordan Reed's contract,
but Doctson appears to have the potential for an expanded role with his
skill set. The issue, however, is
when he will be able to go full bore,
since his last workout with the team
was during a rookie minicamp in
May. Doctson consistently felt soreness after the workout and then injured his left Achilles tendon on
May 25 in a squad-based workout
session.
"We'll be praying for Josh to
get healthy as fast as possible," Gruden said. "We do believe he's a great
talent and can help us so we're excit-

Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Josh Doctson has missed an extended amount of time due to an
Achilles tendon injury. The team is hoping to have him back on the practice field in another week.
ed not just for this week or next
week, but for the long haul for what
he can do for the Redskins."
Despite Doctson’s absence in
practices, fans had the opportunity
to witness intense position battles
on the defensive side of the ball. The
2016 Redskins defensive unit has
received a major facelift with new
acquisitions vying for starting positions or filling holes for depth.
Redskins cornerback Josh Norman has gone viral on the internet
after being burned by Pierre Garcon
and, most recently, DeSean Jack-
son, but Norman believes that it is a
learning process against an explosive receiving corp.
"I've got to be better at being
patient, and once I'm patient and understand what he [Jackson] wants to
give me, then I can play to my
strengths and use my tools to combat that," Norman said. "But, like I
said, how many guys do we see in
the NFL to try to go against like
that? I mean, the combination of
speed and his elusive abilities is just
off the charts. So, he's only going to
make me better, and that's the thing I
take from it, that I'm most excited
about, because I am not going to
make every single play. But the ones
I do make, and when I do get beat,
it's how you come back from
that...the challenges I face with. So
I'm looking forward to that each and
every day we are out here on this
football field, and so is he."
With the addition of arguably
one of the best defensive backs in
the league (Norman), former cornerback DeAngelo Hall has been
taking reps with the safety unit to
challenge David Bruton, Jr. for the
starting position. Hall has shown
that he is able and willing to assert
himself in a new role during the latter part of his career and the Redskins coaching staff is impressed
with his progress. However, Bruton
Jr. seems to have a slight edge.
"(Bruton, Jr.) is vying for a
starting safety job with Duke
[Ihenacho]. And (Deshazor) Everett
and (Will) Blackmon have moved
back there – and D-Hall," Gruden
said. "He's done a good job. Bruton
is a tough guy. He is very knowledgeable of defense. Smart kid,
went to Notre Dame and had played
a lot of football. Unfortunately, he
hasn't played the safety position as
much as he would like to, but he's
dominated special teams, and he's
going to have that role here also.
I've really liked the way he shows
up to work every day as a professional as the definition is.
"(Bruton, Jr.) is going to compete," said Gruden. "We'll see how it
goes. We have a long time until our
first regular season game against
Pittsburgh, and we're going to let all
of these guys compete and battle
and we'll try to pick the best ones."
At the same time, rookie cornerback Kendall Fuller has shown
glimpses of greatness and the linebacker corps as a whole have been
impressive. Trent Murphy and Will
Compton are progressing each year
in the system, and rookie Su'a
Cravens is learning the intricacies of
the linebacker position.
"He's learning," Gruden said.
"He's got a great nose for the ball,
great knack for the ball. When the
practice is over usually, he'll be responsible for a couple of turnovers,
being around the ball, and that's
why we got him – because those
turnovers are hard to find, and he's a
turnover machine."

Williams, Jr. done in by left hand, Bayhawks miss playoffs
hits the mat in the fourth round
By Daniel Kucin Jr.
Sports Editor
By Ron Harris
@DCRonski
QUEBEC CITY – Another
DMV fighter recently fought for a
world championship.
Laurel’s Thomas Williams, Jr.
(20-2) was unsuccessful in his attempt to bring the Light Heavyweight belt back to Prince
George’s County, as he was
knocked out by WBC champion
Adonis Stevenson at the 2:54 mark
of the fourth round with a short left
hand to the side of the head.
Williams hit the canvas face first
and was unable to get up.
Stevenson (28-1), who hails
from Montreal, also knocked down
Williams in the first round, but
Williams was not hurt. In the second round, Williams came out with
a new style of attack. He held his
gloves high up near his face and
landed some hard blows to Stevenson’s head and had him off balance
more than once. Judges gave the
second round to Williams.
In the third round, both fighters went toe-to-toe with Williams
holding his own against the hardhitting southpaw in Stevenson,
known as “Superman.”
“He wanted to put pressure on
me, so I put some on him as well,”
Stevenson said. “We were two
fighters that came to fight. We
gave them a good show. That’s
what fans want to see.” Stevenson
weakened Williams with crisp up-
percuts and, in the fourth, took him
out with the short left cross.
Prior to the knockout,
Williams tried to stop the fight
while pointing to his eye, but referee Michael Griffin instructed him
to get back to fighting. Shortly after, Williams hit the canvas.
It was the eighth title defense
by Stevenson and his 15th straight
victory.
Another county fighter got
some face time on Spike TV. Laurel’s Demond Nicholson fought to
a majority draw against Richmond’s Immanuwel Aleem in an
eight-round middleweight fight.
Two judges scored it 76-76 while
the other judge scored it 77-75 for
Aleem.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The
Chesapeake Bayhawks will miss the
postseason after falling to the Charlotte Hounds 15-13 on Aug. 6. Bayhawks rookie midfielder Myles
Jones accounted for seven points.
Goalie Brian Phipps had 11 saves,
but it wasn’t enough to help his team
to victory. Chesapeake had an opportunity to slip into the playoffs,
but after losing its last two games
and seeing Boston defeat Florida, its
chances faded away.
D.C. United put together a gutty performance against the Philadelphia Union on Aug. 6 and was able
to come away with a 2-2 tie thanks to
a late comeback. United defender
Taylor Kemp notched the first goal
of the contest (16'), but Tranquillo
Barnetta of Union nailed the equalizing goal at the end of the first half.
Former D.C. United star Chris Pontius helped Philadelphia regain the
lead (57'), but Steve Birnbaum of
United tied the game up off an assist
from Patrick Nyarko to end the
game on a thrilling note.
The Washington Mystics currently sit eight games behind the
New York Liberty in the Eastern
Conference. Lead by Emma
Meesseman and Tayler Hill, the
Mystics need to find a way to put together enough games to have a
chance of making the postseason. If
the Mystics’ bench can provide more
offensive production, the team could
secure one of the top eight spots in
the WNBA League standings. Despite losing seven games straight,
Washington is still in playoff contention.

Local basketball stars align with college commitments

Bowie High School star commits
to Towson University
Bowie High School star basketball player Quinton Drayton has decided to commit to Towson University following his senior season next
year. The Bowie Bulldogs went 14-9
this past season while Drayton finished with 12.5 points-per-game.
“It took a while for me to adjust
my role as being a leader because,
coming from DeMatha, I was the
only freshman and wasn't really relied on a lot. But I caught on quickly
when I arrived at Bowie,” Drayton
said.
It was on Twitter on June 20 that
Drayton announced he would be
committing to Towson. He will join
the likes of other local products such
as Mike Morsell and Justin Gorham.
“Towson has a good plan for
me,” Drayton said. “I had a very good
relationship with Coach (Pat) Skerry
and Coach (Jim) McCarthy. I visited
a couple of times and Towson just
was the best fit for me.”
The 6-foot-4 small forward received offers from several other Division I programs throughout his tenure
at Bowie and with his AAU team
D.C. Premier.
“The recruitment process was
overwhelming, but I just had to get
used to it and it became exciting for
me,” Drayton said. “The recruiting
process started to jump for me after
my sophomore season and I picked
up a couple of offers.”
Drayton played his summer basketball with nationally ranked D.C.
Premier this season. Premier came up
short in the quarterfinals of the Under
Armor circuit to ESPN-ranked
Trevon Duval and WER1. Premier
came back a few weeks later and
turned up with an excellent performance at the Las Vegas Fab 48.
“We went into the Under Armor
finals with the number one seed in
our division, ranking in the top 10,”
Drayton said.
Many top athletes struggle and
get stressed with the recruiting
process. Drayton took it one step at a
time, being patient, and when the
time was right, the Bowie standout
made his choice.
“The process was very difficult,
but I sat down with my family and
made the best decision for me. I will
be signing my letter of intent sometime this year,” Drayton said about
signing with the Tigers.
Skerry and the Towson Tigers
will be getting an athletic wing who
can open up the court, get to the rim
and knock down the open shot.
“Coming into Towson, I will
most likely be playing my natural position which is basically a combo
guard or the 1, 2 or 3,” Drayton said.
“I'm excited about this opportunity.”
Heart over height:
Former Northwestern guard finds
success at next level
Former Northwestern High
School point guard Mike White is
small in stature, but his game is larger
than life.
White, a 5-foot-4 guard, was one
of the top three leading scorers on
probably one of the best Northwestern teams in history, finishing with a
17-5 record in 2014-15.
“Senior year was one of the best
years of my life,” White said. “I took
advantage of opportunities and I had
great teammates behind me. We were
so successful because we were experienced and knew how to play on the
court with one another. We wanted to
be a great team without any regrets.”
White decided he would attend
the Community College of Baltimore
County (CCBC) in Dundalk after his
senior season. White did just that and
finished his freshman debut at CCBC
with 10 points-per-game to go along
with four assists-per-game. He also
started a few games while handling
point guard duties.
“I made my decision to go there
in May and officially signed to them
in June. I had to put in a lot of work
and become very mature on and off
the court,” White said.
White was mentioned as the
toughest guy on his team and was a
very vocal leader. Several of his
teammates looked to him for advice.
“Whenever it was a big game, he
always would step up and he was the
major reason we went on that winning streak that year,” Mount Olive
commit and former teammate Saiquan Jamison said.
White faced several obstacles
playing basketball at the collegiate
level in one of the top conferences in
JUCO Basketball. He had to learn
when it was time to push the tempo,
when to drive all the way to the rim
and when to bring it out.
“I had to get adjusted to being
out there by myself and handling all
my responsibilities so that I wouldn't
fall behind,” he said. “I had a solid
freshman campaign at Dundalk. I
learned a lot during my first year, and
for my sophomore season, I want to
be consistent and poised every game
and continue to learn.”
The Sentinel’s Player of the Year
heads to Hargrave Military with
hopes of getting to Xavier
On Aug. 29, Eleanor Roosevelt
Raider state champion Naji Marshall
decided to make his final college decision. The 6-foot-6 wing will complete a prep year at Hargrave Military
in Virginia this upcoming year and
hopefully will join Xavier University
after that.
Marshall led the Raiders in scoring with 17 points-per-game and
helped lead his team to a state championship against Meade on Dec. 30.
The Raiders went 24-3 to finish off
their 2016 basketball campaign. Roosevelt defeated Meade High School
in the championship, 72-39.
Marshall came to Eleanor Roosevelt his sophomore year from Takoma Academy in Takoma Park. Marshall didn’t play high school basketball at Roosevelt because of
academic issues, but that summer he
played AAU ball with the newly
formed “D.C. Premier” AAU Program and competed at the highest
level on that summer circuit.
Marshall came back his junior
year ready to go and was one of the
top three scorers on his team his junior year with Oladoyin Fadojutimi
and Ishmail Jabbie. The Raiders went
21-4 that year, but eventually lost to
Bowie in the playoffs. Marshall had a

Drayton scored 12.5 points-per-game for the Bulldogs last year and will
likely see time at all three guard positions for the Tigers.
solid junior year.
During that offseason, he was
back on the circuit with D.C. Premier,
where his game excelled. He picked
up his first offer after his junior sea-
son from Towson University on May
15, 2015, and after that, his stock began to rise. Marshall had more than
ten Division I offers after his senior
season at Roosevelt.
