UPPER MARLBORO—The
Prince George’s County Council
and County Executive may be getting pay raises based on the recommendations of the Prince
George’s County Compensation
Review Board.
The County Council introduced a bill, based on the recommendations, at its meeting Tuesday, which would raise the salaries
for council, the chairman, the vice
chairman and the county executive.
The Compensation Review
Board performed a study at the request of the County Council. Part
of the review involved comparing
the salaries of the administration
within the county were compared
to other counties across the state,
according to the board’s report.
After completing its review,
the board recommended the council and county executive get five
percent raises on their income in
fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year
2015 starting on the first Monday
in December of this year. In fiscal
years 2016 and 2017 they will receive an increase equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index for the Washington-Baltimore
area for September or $3,000,
whichever is greater, according to
the study the Compensation Review Board conducted.
County Councilmembers currently make $103,716 after receiving a raise last year. County Executive Rushern Baker III’s salary is

UPPER MARLBORO – Parents and activists—including the
head of the Prince George’s
County chapter of the NAACP—
continued their fight against cell
phone towers being placed on
school property.
At the Prince George’s
County Board of Education’s
first meeting for the 2014-15 year
several parents spoke out asking
the Board to not allow cell phone
towers to be placed at Benjamin
Tasker Middle School and
Charles H. Flowers High School.
The Board of Education previously approved the construction of cell phone towers on public school grounds on Nov. 11,
2010, during a public meeting.
The leasing master agreement between Prince George’s County
Public Schools and Milestone
Communications, the cell phone
tower provider, was signed on
Feb. 7, 2011.
Milestone selected 73 poten-
tial school sites, including Tasker
and Flowers, according to the
leasing agreement.
Bob Ross, president of the
Prince George's County Branch
of the NAACP also spoke out
against cell phone towers, compared the cell phone tower issue
to Love Canal, a neighborhood in
upstate New York where tons of
toxic waste was buried without
the public's notice.
"The same thing could happen with cell phone towers,"
Ross said.
Ross went on to further tell
the board that they should do
their due diligence in researching
the effects these proposed cell
phone towers could have on students.
"I love technology," Ross
said. "But if there's a possibility
of harm to our children, we
shouldn't do it."

Students offered chance for Xbox One for signing up for libray cards
By Alexis A. Goring
Prince George’s County
Memorial
Library
System
(PGCMLS) is offering ninth-grade
students a chance to win an Xbox
One when they sign up for a library
card during this month.
The process for signing up for
a library card takes about 90 seconds and the program runs Sept. 130.
“We wanted the teenagers to
understand that we know who they
are and we know what they like,”
said Michelle Hamiel, associate director for public service for the library system. “We want to be relevant to them.”
Students must live in Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia or
Maryland and have a photo ID with
proof of address in order to participate. Students age 17 or younger
are able to apply for a student library card without being accompanied by a parent. The student library card allows holders to borrow
up to three items and access online
services and library computers.
“We know that a library card is
a way to show our community our
facility services. Hopefully everyone in the county would want to
have a card,” said Robin Jacobsen
Director of Community Engagement for PGCMLS. “We’ve surpassed the 50 percent mark which
is great news. My hope is that we
can get to the 100 percent mark because we want everybody to have a
card.”
Students who sign up for a free
library card will have access to all
resources available at the public library.
“They will be introduced to all
of our databases which are free,”
Hamiel said. “They will be introduced to all of the research databases. They will be introduced to all
the library services. Some of our
databases are not accessible without a library card. It also gives them
free access to our computers.”
Hamiel said using the library is
about more than learning to read—
it’s about giving students a place to
study and work on their homework.
“When the children get to high
school, very often that’s the first
time they have to do research papers,” Hamiel said. “It’s the first
time they have to do extended essays and they aren’t always prepared. And they don’t know that
they can use the library. So many of
them want to use Google. We want
them to know that we have valued
sources that we have taken a look at
…We want to make sure they are
equipped with the tools to do their
research, enrich their minds and be
successful.”
The month-long program
came at a cost for PGCMLS because they had to purchase the free
gifts for the students and the grand
prize.
STATE NEWS
Some worried changes are not coming fast enough with medical marijuana
By Cynthia Prairie
MarylandReporter.com
IMMIGRANT DETENTION
LIMITS: Gov. Martin O’Malley has
imposed strict new rules to limit
when the state may hold immigrants
in Baltimore City’s jail at the request
of federal authorities, dealing a new
blow to a national program intended
to catch people who are in the country illegally, writes John Fritze for
the Sun.
MEDICAL POT: As a Maryland panel struggles to figure out
how to manage and regulate medical
marijuana, families struggle to cope
with illnesses that could be helped
by the drug and some lawmakers
worry that change isn’t coming fast
enough, reports John Kelvey for the
Carroll County Times.
CASES CLOSED: Maryland
Court of Appeals Chief Judge Mary
Ellen Barbera has achieved her goal
of having the high court decide by
Aug. 31, the final day of its 20132014 term, all 127 cases it heard during the session and said she intends
to duplicate the feat this term and beyond, writes Steve Lash for the Daily Record.
BUSINESS SETBACK: The
Sun editorial board opines that,
while last week’s decision to abandon the proposed $95 million intermodal rail facility at the Mount
Clare yard in Southwest Baltimore
may be regarded as a big victory for
neighbors in Morrell Park and elsewhere who strongly opposed it, the
decision is a genuine setback for efforts to expand business at the Port
of Baltimore.
PURPLE LINE NEEDED:
Post columnist Robert McCartney
writes that having failed to kill or
reroute the Purple Line despite years
of agitation, a small but resolute
band of critics is exploiting a pair of
amphipod species in what could be
the final, serious bid to disrupt the
transit project. It would be a shame if
they succeed, and not only because
the Purple Line would create a longoverdue transit rail link between
Montgomery and Prince George’s
counties.
PUBLIC DEFENDER EXPANSION: Maryland’s Office of the
Public Defender handles more than
200,000 cases a year, but it’s cases
the agency doesn’t handle that are
being used to justify expanding its
Towson office, reports Bryan Sears
for the Daily Record. The Board of
Public Works is expected Wednesday to discuss the agency’s two requests to modify the lease for its existing offices at 200 W. Towsontowne Blvd.
WHAT ‘LIKE’ MEANS: What
does it mean when a journalist
“likes,” “friends” or “follows” a
politician? Do they really like them?
Are they really friends with them?
Are they the politician’s follower?
Len Lazarick of MarylandReporter.com has the answers.
CASINO DOUBTERS: The
sparkle has yet to wear off the new
Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore but
the chairman of the Baltimore City
delegation to the House of Delegates
remains unimpressed and is telling
people to avoid traveling in the area
if they can help it, writes Bryan
Sears for the Daily Record. “It’s going to be a tremendous hassle from
now on,” Del. Curt S. Anderson, DBaltimore, said during a Friday appearance on the C4 Show on WBAL
Radio.
Post columnist Petula Dvorak
urges Baltimore City Mayor
Stephanie Rawlings Blake to “hold
your horses” when she says, “Horseshoe (Casino) brings the promise of
a better Baltimore.”
Time now, taxpayers of Baltimore City, for a wet blanket, says
Fraser Smith in a commentary on
WYPR-FM. One reporter described
its ambience as adult Disneyland: a
happy place where everyone beats
the odds. The new place will do
well, for a while.
CASINO’S
BENEFITS:
Granted, Horseshoe isn’t the answer
to Baltimore City’s woes, writes
columnist Barry Rascovar for MarylandReporter.com. But proceeds
from the casino will help Mayor
Stephanie Rawlings-Blake slowly
lower sky-high property taxes, make
infrastructure improvements and
eventually pour millions it now
doesn’t have into community upgrades.
CASINO HOSTESS BARRED:
A federal judge has ruled that one
unlucky hostess accused of stealing
a list of high-rolling clients from a
Maryland casino where she used to
work and using it to recruit business
to another casino cannot contact the
gamblers until further notice, the AP
is reporting in the Daily Record.
Check out our web site www.thesentinel.com
KEEP THE EARLY START:
The editorial board for the Sun
opines that students return to school
for the first time today in only one
school system in Maryland. Elsewhere, public school systems opened
last week, and they appear universally satisfied with their choice. That 23
of Maryland’s 24 school systems
continue to prefer a pre-Labor Day
starting date would seem to present a
teachable moment to everyone but
Comptroller Peter Franchot, who
continues his quixotic crusade to
force a longer summer break.
VETERANS’
HEALTH
CARE: Veterans who have been
waiting for months to see a primarycare doctor at the Veterans Affairs
Maryland Health Care System can
now visit one of the four Evergreen
Health Care facilities that are affiliated with the state’s new health insurance co-op, reports Jenna Johnson for the Post.
O’MALLEY RETURNS TO

September, making his fourth trip to
the early presidential nominating
state since November, writes John

Greenbelt celebrates Labor Day with annual parade
By Michael Sykes
GREENBELT – City residents ended their summer on a
scorching hot day by watching the
city’s annual Labor Day parade.
“It’s a place for the community to gather on Labor Day,”
Greenbelt citizen and spectator
John Moore said. “It’s a tradition
going back 60-something years,
that gives people something to
do.”
Moore said the tradition has
meant a lot to the citizens in the
city and is the perfect way to usher in the fall.
Hundreds of citizens gathered along Crescent Road in Old
Greenbelt as the parade acts made
their way through the city. Among
the acts were the Eleanor Roosevelt High School cheerleading
squad, hip hop dancers, classic
automobiles, a double jump rope
team, and even an actor posing as
Eleanor Roosevelt herself.
Rodney Roberts, city councilman, said the citizens love to
come out and enjoy the carnival as
well as watch the parade—especially when seeing Eleanor Roosevelt’s look-a-like.
Roberts said he loves Labor
Day because he knows the people
of Greenbelt work especially
hard, and he understands how
hard it can be. “It was a good parade, I thought it was,” Roberts
said. “Labor Day is one of my favorite holidays. I appreciate Labor Day because I’m a self-employed individual.”
Michael Washington, a resident of Greenbelt, said the show is
a positive thing for the city because it’s entertaining, free and it
brings all of the citizens of Greenbelt into one place together.
“Very community oriented.
You can tell when people are driving, all of the people know each
other, they all say hello to each
other,” Washington said. “Old
Greenbelt is a real community.”
The amount of people coming to see the show has grown
over the last few years, Washington said, because of the tradition it

Dancers put on a show at the Greenbelt Labor Day parade. The parade also included performances by
cheerleading groups, jump ropers as well as included classic automobiles.
brings to the city of Greenbelt.
“This is a tradition. This is
huge. I mean, where do you go for
parades anymore?” Washington
said. “There aren’t too many old,
established communities anymore. Grandparents, children,
grandchildren all come here. And
ARTS
CLASSIFIEDS
there are very few places around
that still have that tradition.”
Washington said as the tradition grows older, more people will
become aware of it and it will
continue to grow in size. The tradition will never die off, she said,
because the community of Green-
belt is too tight.
“It’s very established and
people are very community-minded,” Washington said. “That’s
why they live here. They enjoy
this. If there wasn’t a parade, the
residents would go out and make a
parade.”

County Council introduces bill to increase salaries
From “pay raise” page 1
$187,753 after receiving a raise
last year.
“This is exactly what the
compensation commission recommended,” said Robert Williams,
the county council administrator.
“The first two years, there is a set
financial amount increase. Subsequent to that, it will be set on the
CPI that comes out earlier in the
year.”
The compensation of the
council chair will be fixed at 5 per-
cent per year in excess of the other
council members and the compensation of the vice chair will be
fixed at 2.5 percent per year in excess of the other council members.
Board unanimously approved of
the recommendations with an 8-0
vote. The eight members that voted are William D. Missouri,
Camille Exum, Terri BacoteCharles, Kenneth Battle, Jr.,
Jacqueline Brown, Bradley
Frome, Joseph Hamlin and Rosalyn Pugh.
Board said its recommendations
for pay increases were made to incentivize and keep people in public service within Prince George’s
County.
Councilwoman
Mary
Lehman voiced concerns about the
policy and possible confusion on
it.
“Whatever the change is from
July to July, it just seems like it
goes faster,” Lehman said. “I get
the September part versus July
when it’s evaluated. But first
there’s the December date in there,
but then there’s the September
date. Maybe I’m getting too much
into the weeds of this.”
Scott Peterson, Baker’s
spokesman, said the increases in
pay are based off of the recommendations from the Compensation Review Board.
“The reason for the pay increase is in accordance with the
recommendations from the charter
review commission,” Peterson
said.
The salaries of county council
members in Montgomery County
are currently at $99,069, although
the Montgomery County Council
passed a bill October to raise its
salary from $104,000 to $136,000
over the next four years, a 25-percent bump in pay.
In Washington, D.C. the
salary of council members are
$128,000.
The salary for the county executive in Montgomery County is
currently $180,250 and the salary
for the mayor of Washington, D.C,
is currently $200,000.
County residents continue fight against cell phone towers
From “towers” page 1
at the meeting against the cell
phone towers. She is part of a
coalition which has generated a
petition with more than 1,000
signatures.
“There are significant health
concerns that concern me and
other parents about the proposed
cell phone towers,” Bearisto said
“I don’t want my child, your
child or any child to suffer from
Leukemia.”
Lynn Beiber, another Bowie
resident, also expressed concern
about the unknown effects the
cell phone towers would have on
the health of students.
“We won’t know for
decades the effects. It is a huge
question mark there.” She said
“Even the EPA on their website
has a question mark about the effects they could have.
Beiber also went on to question the economics of the proposed deal.
“It’s time to step back and
exercise cautionary principles, if
you insist on it, at least you could
do is a get a better deal,” she said.
“Why is it we have a no-bid contract?”
Bearisto said she feels
strongly about the danger from
towers that she is willing to remove her daughter from Bowie
High School if towers were ever
to go up at the school. Bearisto
also said she thinks the Federal
Communications Commision’s
standards regarding radiation
from cell phone towers are too
lax.
“The current FCC standard
for RF (radio frequencies) is like
setting the national speed limit at
115 mph, and saying, see, everyone’s in compliance,” she said.
Bowie residents rally against Wal-Mart once again
By Michael Sykes
UPPER MARLBORO— The
residents of Bowie battling against
Wal-Mart have taken their protests
down the road and in front of the
eyes of the county administration.
Protesters stood in front of the
County Administration Building
while the County Council was in administrative session.
“Hey, hey! What do you say!
Take that Walmart plan away!” protesters shouted as they marched.
Chanel Smith, a Bowie resident
and a member of the surrounding
community, said residents are hoping to send a strong message to the
County Council that they are in opposition to the proposed Walmart
store. Earlier this year Walmart’s
plan received approval from the
Prince George’s Planning Board.
The plan is currently before the
County Council, which is expected
to make a final decision this fall.
“I’m hoping that (this rally)
brings even more attention—more
attention than what we’ve already
done in the past,” Smith said. “I’m
hoping that it stands out.”
Smith said the message the
community is trying to send should
be obvious to the county and everyone else watching.
“If you’re talking about this
amount of people that came out on a
weekday, during work hours, I think it
shows that we’re serious,” Smith said.
“People really don’t want Walmart.”
Smith said she hopes the county
is seriously considering changing
their current plans. Several elected
officials have already spoken out
supporting the residents’ fight.
“I hope that it speaks to our
cause when you have Senator Ben-
son protesting with us. So I hope that
they take us serious,” Smith said.
“We’ve had other delegates, too.
Delegate Carolyn Howard was
there, so that does speak to the importance of what we’re doing.”
Jennifer Dwyer, a community
leader, said residents chose to
protest in front of the administration
building because they wanted to
show them how serious they were
when they returned from recess.
“The county council just returned from their August recess today, and we wanted to be here the
first possible day they could make
any kind of decision so they could
see how we feel about it,” Dwyer
said. “That people feel strongly
enough to come out in the heat, to
take time off of work, so they could
come out here.”
Dwyer said the next step, with a
decision looming in the fall, is for
the community to continue holding
rallies.
“We’re going to keep on doing
what’s been working,” Dwyer said.
“We’re going to continue the outreach to our neighbors and keep the
protests coming, if we need to, until
we get a decision.”

Local boxer throws out first pitch
If it
By Dan Kucin Jr.
Sentinel Sports
Undefeated Top Rank pro boxer, Mike "Yes Indeed" Reed recently
threw out the first pitch at Prince
George's Stadium on August 31.
Reed trains in Clinton with a pro
record of 10-0 with six knockouts
under his belt.
“Thank you to the Baysox for
inviting me to throw the ceremonial
first pitch, and for helping promote
my upcoming fight on October 4 in
Atlantic City,” said Reed. “It was a
great experience, and it was great
meeting the players, staff, and all the
fans at the game. I'm looking forward to returning next season. I am
also happy to say that my pitch was
thrown accurately, and over the
plate!”
The 21-year-old recently
signed with Top Rank after having
an impressive amateur career with
90 wins. He defeated Alberto
Morales on June 14 in a six-round
bout in a unanimous decision victory
to reach double-digit pro victories.
Mike Reed will return to the
ring on October 4 at Bally's in Atlantic City, New Jersey in a sixround bout. There has not been an

Maryland dismisses two from football team
By Brandy L. Simms
Sentinel Sports
A pair of former Prince
George’s County student-athletes
have been dismissed from the University of Maryland football team
for the 2014 season.
As a result of a violation of
Maryland’s Student Code of Conduct, Levern Jacobs and A.J. Hendy
will not participate with the team
this year, the school announced on
Friday.
“I have spoken with Levern and
A.J. and expressed my disappointment with their actions,” Maryland
head coach Randy Edsall said in a
statement. “They showed poor judgment and failed to uphold the standards of a student-athlete at the University of Maryland. Both Levern
and A.J. were regretful and apologetic about their role in this incident
and understand that their actions will
not allow them to participate in the
upcoming football season.”
Jacobs, a Suitland High product, started four games at wide receiver last season. As a sophomore,
Jacobs led the team in receptions
(47) and receiving yards (640) and
finished with three touchdown receptions.
During his senior campaign at
Suitland, Jacobs amassed 40 catches and scored eight touchdowns. He
was ranked among the nation’s top
wide receivers and played in the
2010 Crab Bowl.
Meanwhile, Hendy, a Bowie
High product, played in 12 games
and made three starts at defensive
back last season.
As a high school senior, Hendy
compiled 592 receiving yards and
scored seven touchdowns for the
Bulldogs. He also had three punt returns for touchdowns, 30 tackles,
five interceptions including three
returned for scores.

Terps win 52-7 in dominant season opener
By Michael Sykes
Sentinel Sports
PHOTOS BY DAN KUCIN JR.
Top, Stefon Diggs looks for running game. Directly above, quarterback
C.J. Brown finds himself in a tight situation. Brown rushed for 61 yards.
COLLEGE PARK – Maryland opened its inaugural season
in the Big Ten Conference with a
52-7 win in dominating fashion
over the James Madison Dukes.
“We did a lot of good things
today,” Terrapins head coach
Randy Edsall said. “I’m very
proud of our team for how they
came out and started fast.”
The Terrapins shut the Dukes
out for a majority of the game,
leaving them scoreless for the
first 49 minutes of the game.
The Terrapins came out
clicking on all cylinders, scoring
two touchdowns on their first two
drives and scoring 17 points total
in the first quarter.
The game quickly turned into
a blowout after the Terrapins
shutout the Dukes in the first half,
24-0. James Madison got a solid
drive going to end the half and
reached the Maryland 18-yard
line, but the Terrapins defense
broke through with a sack on opposing quarterback Vad Lee by
defensive lineman Roman
Braglio on first down and a Jeremiah Johnson interception to
close the half on second down.
Edsall said he loved the way
his team played because it allowed the entire team to gain
some experience, not just the
starting unit.
“I was very happy that we
were able to play as many players
as we did,” Edsall said. “That will
help with the depth and experi-
ence that we’re going to need to
have as we continue to go through
the season.”
Edsall said he thought his
team executed very well and
played clean throughout the contest. The Terrapins were only
called for five penalties for 35
yards on the day.
Starting quarterback C.J.
Brown rushed for 41 yards and
two touchdowns on three carries
in the first quarter. On Brown’s
second touchdown run, the defense nearly sacked him, but he
managed to break away and
scamper into the end zone after
running over one of his own offensive lineman.
Brown said he thought the
offense played well overall, but
he was not satisfied with his own
effort and wants to improve.
Brown finished the game with 61
yards and three touchdowns on
seven carries, but only passed for
111 yards with one touchdown
and had accuracy problems
throughout.
“I didn’t play good today,”
Brown said. “I understand that. I
just got to lock it. It was just a bad
game on my part.”
Brown said he will study film
during the week and fix his issues
with accuracy within the offense.
Brown gave a lot of credit to
the offensive line for Maryland’s
dominating offensive performance. The Terrapins went the
entire game without surrendering
a sack and they ran the ball 50
times for 285 yards.
“The o-Line did a great job
all day,” Brown said. “I can’t give
them enough credit. They played
an excellent game today—running, passing, pass protection. We
saw the blitzes coming—they did
an excellent job picking them
up.”
Brown threw his only touchdown through the air in the third
quarter on a long, 41-yard connection with senior wide receiver
Deon Long.
Long said he had an option
route depending on how his man
played him and if the defender
had help. Once Long saw the coverage going outside, he broke his
route to the inside and got wide
open. Brown hit him in stride for
Maryland’s fourth touchdown of
the game, putting the team up 310.
Despite Brown’s lackluster
performance throwing the ball,
Long said he has seen the quarterback improve during the summer
and expects him to only get better.
“His accuracy has improved,” Long said. “His balls
have improved, so I wouldn’t say
that he passed the ball bad.”
The Terrapins finished the
game 6-6 in the red zone. Brown
said the coaching staff has placed
an emphasis on taking advantage
of scoring opportunities.
“We’ve got to get better in
the red zone and we’ve got to get
better on third down,” Brown
said. “Everybody came out with a
chip on their shoulder, and just
wanted to capitalize on the red
zone. So our execution was dead
on and we got things done.”

Lilja’s field goal gives scrappy St. Vincent 3-0 win
By Holden Wilen
Sentinel Sports
LAUREL – Despite 14 penalties and three turnovers, St. Vincent Pallotti opened its season
with a 3-0 win over John Carroll.
The game remained scoreless
until sophomore kicker Tyer Lilja
came through with a 32-yard field
with only one minute and 22 seconds remaining in the game.
“It was absolutely exhilarating. I can’t explain the feeling,”
Lilja said. “I was just thinking, I
made a promise to God that if I
made it I would not complain
about anything that I have to do or
anything like that. I made it so I
have to keep that promise.”
John Carroll had one last
chance to try and score, but on the
second play of the drive freshman
defensive back Jacob Johnson intercepted the ball to seal the game
for the Panthers.
“I believe in my family and
my coaches and my teammates,”
Johnson said. “Coach told me
they are a throwing team. I
dropped back and the ball came to
me.”
Pallotti had no problem running the ball as sophomore running back Jaret Patterson rushed
for a game-high 122 yards on 14
carries. His brother, James Patterson, rushed for 29 yards and also
had 64 yards receiving. However,
sophomore quarterback Mason
Clark threw three interceptions.
The team also struggled in the red
zone, committing several penalties and getting into third-andlong situations.
“There were a lot of
turnovers. Got to cut down on
those. Some of them can be corrected, others are the team made
some plays,” said Pallotti head
coach Rick Peacock. “The penalties killed us. It seemed like we
were playing behind the sticks all
night. The kids dug in when we
needed it and I’m disappointed
about the way we played but happy that we won. They don’t tell
you how you won, it’s just a W.
We’ll move and we’ll get better.”
Despite the mistakes, Peacock said he was proud of how his
defense performed. He also said
he has full confidence in his quarterback, who is still maturing.
“(Clark) just needs to settle
down,” Peacock said. “He has all
the mechanics. We have all the
confidence in him it will just take
some time.”

Riverdale Baptist falls to Spalding 33-27 in season opener
By Holden Wilen
Sentinel Sports
UPPER MARLBORO – For
the first time since 2012, the
Riverdale Baptists Crusaders found
themselves on the losing end after a
33-27 loss to the Archbishop Spalding Cavaliers.
The defending Capital Area
Football Conference champions,
who finished last season undefeated,
committed three turnovers and numerous penalties in the loss.
“We just have to be more disciplined,” said Riverdale Baptist head
coach Caesar Nettles. “We can’t turn
the ball over, and we can’t give them
all those penalties. We have to trust
our eyes on defense and just do our
jobs—make tackles. We missed a lot
of tackles. Overall, we just have to
play better.”
The Crusaders’ first turnover
came on the team’s first offensive
play when wide receiver Cody
Wilburn fumbled the ball. Spalding
recovered and scored on its ensuing
possession to take a 7-0 lead.
The Crusaders answered back
on the very next offensive play,
however, with an 80-yard touchdown hookup between quarterback
Amir Hall and wide receiver Jaison
Young to tie the game at 7-7.
Riverdale Baptist showed its
quick-strike ability throughout the
game, scoring all four of its touchdowns in less than a minute.
After Riverdale tied the game,
Spalding made two field goals to go
up 13-7. Then, with six and a half
minutes remaining in the first half,
Riverdale picked up the pace. Running back Isaiah Fleming scored
from three yards out to give the team
a 14-13 lead. Then, Riverdale forced
a fumble and scored four plays later
on a 21-yard pass-and-catch between Hall and Young. The senior
receiver finished the game with four
catches for 111 yards and two touchdowns.
Riverdale then forced another
fumble on the kickoff, but Hall
threw an interception which led to a
10-play, 82-yard drive ending in a
touchdown for Spalding right before
halftime. Riverdale led 21-20.
In the second half, conditioning
and depth gave Spalding the advantage, Nettles said. The Crusaders
scored once more, but gave up 13
unanswered points to lose the game.
“We had a lot of cramping issues. That is my fault,” Nettles said.
“We’ve got to make sure they are in
better shape, keep them hydrated.
We put them on a hydration plan two
days but obviously it was not
enough. I just have to do a better job
to make sure they are prepared and
conditioned.”
Spalding also received a spark
from backup quarterback Evan
Fochtman, a dual threat who could
not be stopped by Riverdale’s defense. Fochtman ran for 107 yards
on 10 carries and scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter, including the go-ahead score with just less
than five minutes left in the game.
“Evan was a spark for our offense,” said Spalding head coach
Kyle Schmitt. “We needed a bit of a
spark at the quarterback position. A
running quarterback is something
that has been pretty good for me as a
head coach. He kind of fit that for us.”
Before Saturday’s game,
Riverdale had not lost since its last
game in 2012, when the team fin-
ished 5-5.
Despite the loss, Nettles is still
confident in his team heading into
next week’s game against St. John’s
Catholic Prep.
“We can run the ball, we can
pass the ball, we can play defense
with anybody and we can hang with
anybody,” Nettles said. “When I am
asked why we are playing such a
competitive schedule, I don’t think
there is anybody that we can’t beat. I
think everybody in the stands saw
we could have beaten them but they
just played better than us in the end.
Simply put, I need to do a better job
of getting our guys mentally tough
enough in the fourth quarter when
they are tired.”
Quarterback Amir Hall completed 13-23 passes and threw for
253 yards and three touchdowns
with an interception.

Maryland Healthcare Exchange Under Investigation
By DaShawn Fleming
Last Tuesday, U.S. Rep. Andy
Harris (D-Md.) announced the U.S.
Department of Health and Human
Services Office of Inspector General is beginning an investigation into
the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange and issued subpoeanas.
The Maryland Republican Party officials fear fraud may have been
committed while the state contract-
ed and created the exchange. Maryland GOP Chairman Diana Waterman said Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown,
the Democratic nomination for governor, needs to be held accountable.
“Lt. Governor Brown was in
charge of running the MD Health
Exchange and he needs to be questioned about this possible fraud,”
Waterman said.
Joe Cluster, executive director
for the Republican Party, said $280
million of taxpayer’s money was
wasted “with nothing to show for it.”
“He was the head of the program, he was promoting it saying
that it would be great,” Cluster said.
“He had no problem taking credit for
it, but now that everything has failed
he has no involvement with it.”
The allegations resulted in an
audit of the system but have since
transitioned into an investigation.
“Once they give out subpoenas it
means that they are investigating the
situation,” said Cluster.
The Office of Inspector General could not confirm or deny if an investigation is ongoing.
A spokesman for Brown’s campaign said Republicans are engaging in “political games” and that
Brown supports a review.
“It’s disappointing that Larry
Hogan would mislead the people of
Maryland and play political games
with a federal investigation, but it
is clear that the Republicans will
say anything to achieve their ex-
treme right-wing agenda,” said
Justin Schall, Brown’s campaign
manager. “As he has said repeatedly in the past, Lt. Governor Brown
fully supports this review but neither the Lt. Governor nor anyone in
his office has received any communication or requests from the office
of the Inspector General or any other federal agency. Lt. Governor
Brown has repeatedly said that

Middle school eliminates recess, Board
of Ed. makes changes to policies
By Melanie Balakit
UPPER MARLBORO – The
Prince George’s County Board of
Education approved a revision of a
student appeals to suspensions and
expulsions policy and approved a request to eliminate recess from a
charter middle school in College
Park during its meeting last Thursday evening.
One of the major changes to the
student appeals policy includes creating a “designated committee” to
review an appeal from a student who
is suspended for more than 10
school days or is expelled. The student must make a written request for
such an appeal to the Board of Education within 10 days of the disciplinary action notice, according to the
amended policy.
A new state policy prompted
the proposal to create a committee to
review appeals, Shauna Battle, legal
counsel for the board, said. At the
end of May, the Maryland State
Board of Education created a 45-day
time period for appeals to be
processed.
“One of the concerns is timeliness, the amount of time it takes for a
student to go through the appeal
process,” Battle said.
The board may not be able to
meet the 45-day time period set by
the state with its current appeals
process, Battle said.
Currently, a hearing officer
processes student appeals, Battle
said. After the officer writes their
opinion, the Board reviews it at the
next scheduled board meeting.
Hearings are typically scheduled on
Wednesdays, Battle said, and board
meetings are scheduled about every
two weeks either on Tuesdays and
Thursdays.
A substantial amount of time
could be lost until a decision is
made, Battle said.
Other counties in the state, like
Baltimore County and Harford
County, have designated boards to
hear student appeals, Battle said.
The number of appeals sent to
the board has decreased in the past
three years because of a shift to implement disciplinary actions other
than suspensions or expulsions, said
Aaron Price, chief hearing officer.
“Expulsions should be a last resort,” Price said.
Last school year, no appeals
were sent to the board, Price said. In
2012-2013, the number of appeals
sent to the board was in the “low
double digits.” Prior to 2012, the
number of appeals was very high, he
said.
Other changes to the appeals
policy include requiring schools to

Police say Laurel man
killed by his roommates
By Jim Davis
LAUREL – Prince George's
County arrested one suspect and
obtained a warrant for another for
the death of a man whose body
parts were found in several bags.
Last Sunday morning, a resident of the Arden Pointe apartment
complex called police after he
found a trash bag containing body
parts. Maj. Cesar Pacheco, commander of the department’s criminal investigations division, said police have since found at least two
more bags, and identified the victim as 28-year-old Jacinto Perez.
After conducting an investigation, Pacheco said police believe
Perez’s roommates—32-year-old
Leonel Mejia-Yanes and 34-yearold Bayron Cruz-Vargas—killed
him because of an argument over
money.
Police have arrested MejiaYanes while they continue to search
for Cruz-Vargas.
“As a result of witness interviews and investigative efforts by
our homicide detectives we learned
that our victim had shared an apartment with our suspects,” Pacheco
said. “As a result, on Wednesday
night we were able to bring in
Mejia-Yanes for questioning.”
Pacheco said Mejia-Yanes admitted his involvement in the homicide to police. He has since been
charged with first and second degree murder, and is being held
without bond at the Department of
Corrections.
Meanwhile, Pacheco said police believe Cruz-Vargas has left
the area.
Anyone with information
about the incident is asked to call
the Prince George's County Police
Department's homicide unit at 301772-4925. Callers wishing to remain anonymous may call CRIME
SOLVERS at 1-866-411-TIPS

Woman struck and killed by SUV
By Jim Davis
RIVERDALE PARK – A 33year-old mother is dead after an
SUV hit her as she left a grocery
store Monday. Her three-year-old
daughter is in critical condition.
At about 4:30 p.m. units from
the Prince George's County Fire Department responded to the 5800
block of Riverdale Road for a report
of two people struck by a vehicle.
“When units arrived on scene
they found an adult female in the
street suffering from multiple in-
juries to her body,” said Mark Brady,
spokesman for the fire department.
“She was pronounced dead at the
scene by county paramedics.”
Firefighters found the three-old
girl also suffering from multiple injuries to her body. She was taken to
local trauma center, Brady said,
where she remains in serious condition.
Cpl. Nicole Hubbard, a spokeswoman for the Prince George’s
County Police, said the SUV was
traveling westbound on Riverdale
Road when it struck the woman and
her child. The driver remained on
the scene to assist police.
It is unclear if the mother and
her daughter were in a crosswalk at
the time of the incident, Hubbard
said.
Jonathan Escobar, who witnessed the accident, said he was behind a vehicle that stopped to allow
the mother and her daughter to cross
the street.
“The car that hit the lady was
speeding and I think the driver was
on a cell phone,” Escobar said.
Hubbard said the police department’s collision reconstruction unit
continues to investigate the accident.

Republicans bash Democrats over health exchange
From “exchange” page E-1
everyone involved in setting up the
exchange, including himself, bears
responsibility, but that doesn’t
change the fact that they restructured the exchange and rolled up
their sleeves to enroll over 411,000
Marylanders in quality affordable
care.”
The Maryland Health Benefits
Exchange is a marketplace allowing
individuals and small businesses to
shop and compare qualified insurance plans that are affordable for
their household or business. Enrollees may receive free preventative screenings; will be accepted despite pre-existing conditions and
children can stay on their parents insurance up until the age of 26,
among other things.
According to the Health Benefits Exchange, as of Aug. 23, 78,666
individuals have enrolled in qualified health plans. As of Aug. 27,
355,281 individuals have gained
Medicaid coverage in 2014 and remain active in Medicaid. This includes the 95,889 PAC enrollees
who were automatically converted
on Jan. 1, 2014, to full Medicaid
coverage.
Police trying to build relationships
By Michael Sykes
UPPER MARLBORO—Tension between police and citizens has
been on the rise lately with multiple
cases of police brutality spouting
throughout the nation. Prince
George’s County has had its own
share of issues, but the county police try to suppress tensions between
the community and police by building a relationship within each district, according to District II commander Irene Burks.
The officers that build these relationships are known as Community Oriented Policing Specialists,
Burks said, and their role within a
community to make the police department’s presence a known and
friendly one.
“COPS is a theory based on the
police department working with the
entities within the community that
are the stakeholders,” Burks said.
“That’s the type of mindset that we
train any new recruits that come in.
That this is a community oriented
police department and that’s how
we’re going to police.”
Burks said she came in on a
COPS branch when she came into
the police force. Altogether, she
said. COPS has been around and
practiced within the department for
at least 40 years.
Burks said COPS was founded
because over the years, policing has
changed in different communities.
“It went from the officer on the
foot beat to officers in cars. From
officers in cars to officers. From officers in cars to officers in SUVs,”
Burks said. “There was a couple of
different things that lead up to it.”
What differentiates a COPS
squad from a regular unit is that
COPS squads are assigned to particular communities throughout the
county. She used an apartment complex break-in as an example when
describing the difference between
COPS units and regular policing
units.
“For example, if we’re having
break-ins at a particular apartment
complex. We can send officers out
there all day long to take in calls and
file reports,” Burks said. “But the
officer, at the end of the day, turns in
the report and go home.”
“What a COPS officer will do,
they will meet with the community
and they will meet with the management company,” Burks said. “They
will ask ‘why is this community targeted for break-ins and how can we
stop it?’.”
Burks said regular squads taking 911 calls would deal with extreme circumstances in a community like a riot, but COPS units work
to prevent things like that from happening. But every now and then,
Burks said, things will slip passed
COPS officers.
“First of all, I will be made
aware of it,” Burks said. “You’ll
have the 911 calls that are going to
come in and 911 officers are going
to respond.”
Burks said COPS units focus
on long-term security issues in the
counties communities. “Those
COPS officers are here to specifically address complaints for the
community they’re assigned to,”
Burks said.
When COPS officers are selected, the interactions they have
with other people are taken into
consideration, according to Burks.
“I may see an officer who has a
really good relationship with a shop
owner or a community member,”
Burks said. “Those are some of the
things that I look for as a district
commander. Someone who goes
above and beyond to help a community member.”
Burks said the community
members are perceived well by the
surrounding communities in her district because of the attention COPS
units give them.
“It’s really quite remarkable
how useful it is to have a COPS
squad,” Burks said. “Just that specific attention that a community gets
from someone can alleviate so
much fear and concern.”
Burks said some communities
are more active than others, but having COPS squads representing the
police department helps take care of
many issues in different communities at one time.
COPS are able to hone their
community relationships more than
average 911 officers, according to
Burks, and if they aren’t able to they
aren’t allowed on a COPS squad.
There are certain specifications they
have to meet before being able to
join a COPS squad.

with students and their parents five
days before an appeals hearing. If a
student is suspended for more than
10 days and is not allowed to return

Also during the meeting, the
board approved the College Park

shorten its academic day.
College Park Academy was the
only middle school in the district to

Kevin Maxwell said at the meeting.

All you need is a rolling pin
By Barbara Morrision
While blueberries are a great
treat just by themselves, we love
blueberry pie, especially with a
scoop of vanilla ice cream. This time
of year you can still get fresh blueberries cheaply. You can also use
frozen blueberries, just defrost them
first. You'll need a 9-inch pie plate.
You can buy prepared pie crusts
in the grocery store, a great help if
you are short on time. But you can
also make your own pie crust for a
fraction of the cost. You just need a
rolling pin.
Blueberry Pie Filling
7 c blueberries, rinsed with
stems removed
1/4 c flour or cornstarch
1/2 c sugar
1T lemon juice
Crust
2 1/2 c flour, plus extra for
rolling
1 t salt
2 T sugar
1/2 c frozen butter or lard (or
half butter and half lard), cut into 1/4
inch pieces
4-7 T ice-cold water
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt and
sugar. Cut in the butter/lard by
pulling two table knives through ingredients in opposite directions until
the bits are the size of small peas.
You can also use a pastry blender or
food processor. The important thing
is to do this quickly, before the butter/lard warms up. Sprinkle with
cold water, a little bit at a time while
you fold with a rubber spatula. Continue until dough sticks together.
Form a ball, divide in half and flatten
them into 4-inch wide disks. Wrap in
plastic wrap and refrigerate for one
hour.
On a floured surface, sprinkle
one of the flattened pieces with flour
and roll to be about 1/8 inch thick.
Fold it into fourths and place in pie
plate. Unfold and press firmly
against the plate. Trim the edges to
hang 1/2 inch over the edge. Refrigerate while you roll out the second
piece.
Mix together the berries, flour
and sugar and add to the pie. Sprinkle
with lemon juice. Cover with the top
pastry and crimp the edges, folding
the bottom edge over the top. Slit the
top pastry in 4 places to let steam escape. Refrigerate 30 minutes. Bake
in a 425 oven for 35-45 minutes.
Cool thoroughly before serving.
It may take a few tries until
your crust comes out the way you
want it to, but you'll love the taste.
Plus it's something you can do with
your children, so that they learn early that there's no mystery to cooking.

Find out who the murderer is at the Laurel Mill Playhouse
By Alexis A. Goring
COURTESY PHOTO
The Mousetrap will be shown at the Laurel Mill Playhouse from Sept. 5
thru Sept. 28.
The Mousetrap is coming to
the Laurel Mill Playhouse.
A play written by Agatha
Christie about a group of
strangers—one of whom is a murderer—stranded in a boarding house
during a snow storm—promises to
keep audience members on the edge
of the their seats according to those
performing in the production.
“It’s a murder mystery so what
we hope we do is entertain them,
confuse them for a little while and
make it challenging for them to figure out who the murderer really is,”
said actor Mark T. Allen.
The play opens right after a
murder has taken place in London in
1949, Allen said, and the characters
hear about it on the radio as they are
opening a guest house.
Allen plays the role of Paravicini who never gives his first name
during the performance and stumbles into the guest house scene after
his car overturns in a snow drift.
“There are a number of main
characters,” said Allen. “The female
lead is a character named Molly
Ralston. She’s the owner of the
guest house. The backstory is there
was a sensational case about 10 or
more years in the past involving a
child dying from neglect. She was
the teacher of that child although
that’s not revealed until the very
end.”
Detective Sgt. Trotter, who
Allen describes as “your standard
English constable” arrives on the
scene to investigate the murder that
occurred in London and some clues
from that led him to this guest
house.
Allen said the play is called
The Mousetrap because in one of
the scenes the murderer left behind
a notebook with the music for the
nursery tune of Three Blind Mice
and there’s a note on the first victim
saying ‘This is the first.’
Producer Maureen Rogers said
the play is a period piece so there is
period furniture and clothing set in
England during the year 1949.
“Because this is based in England, everybody should have an
English accent,” said Rogers. “So
we have a dialect coach that comes
in and teaches everybody how to
pronounce certain words, general
rules that will make you sound like
an English person.”
The Mousetrap has been performed for 60 years. The first performance was in England.
“The Agatha Christie mysteries
have been a real crowd pleaser,”
said Rogers. “I have been in her
plays and they’re always so much
fun to do. She just has this intriguing way when she writes.”
The play runs on weekends
from Sept. 5 through Sept. 28 with
Friday and Saturday evening performances at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees on Sept. 21 and Sept. 28 at 2
p.m. Tickets are $20 for general admission. Students ages 12 and under
along with active duty military and
seniors (ages 65 and over) can purchase tickets for $15. Tickets are
made available for purchase online
via www.laurelmillplayhouse.org.

STATE NEWS
Casinos received more money than education last year
By MEGAN BROCKETT
Capital News Service
BALTIMORE - Gov. Martin
O’Malley looked into the camera in
2012 and told his audience that expanded casino gambling would
mean “hundreds of millions of dollars for our schools.”
The upcoming referendum on
gambling had propelled Maryland’s
schools into the spotlight of a multimillion-dollar campaign where supporters touted the message that
more gambling would be a win for
education.
But the measure, approved by
voters that fall, has actually worked
to send more money to the casino
companies this fiscal year than to
the education fund that was established when the state first legalized
casino gambling in 2008.
The 2008 law set up an Education Trust Fund to receive the lion’s
share of gambling revenues from
slots at five new casinos: About half
of the slots revenue went directly to
the education fund and an additional
18.5 percent to other state programs.
The casino companies generally
kept no more than 33 percent.
But the 2012 law included concessions for the companies to ease
their concerns over the addition of a
mega-casino in Prince George’s
County. The legislation allowed all
casinos to add lucrative table
games, such as poker, craps and
roulette. And it allowed the companies to keep 80 percent of the table
game proceeds -- while also reducing the share of slots money that
goes to the education fund.
As a result, casino companies
have kept more than $334 million of
the revenues so far this fiscal year
while the Education Trust Fund has
gotten close to $270 million -marking the first time since casinos
opened in Maryland that more of the
gambling proceeds will go to the
casino companies than to the education fund.
And while expansion of gambling has raised more money overall
both for casinos and the education
fund, the money in the Education
Trust Fund has replaced -- not added
to -- general fund revenues normally
spent on schools.
O’Malley, Senate President
Thomas V. “Mike” Miller Jr. and
House Speaker Michael E. Busch
all declined to comment on the Capital News Service findings, according to their spokespersons.
The casino revenue is “helpful,
but it’s not helpful in the way that
some politicians have claimed it’s
helpful,” said Charlie Cooper, secretary of the Maryland Education
Coalition.
“If we get $300 million in casino revenues, it doesn’t increase
school funding by $300 million, and
in fact, it may not increase school
funding at all.”
“A fiscal fairy tale”
Comptroller Peter Franchot
made a prediction in 2008, with the
question of legalizing casino gambling before Maryland voters:
“Slots are a fiscal fairy tale,” he
said. The plan “will not produce one
dollar of new spending for education, and I encourage everybody to
understand that this industry is a
shady and sleazy practice.”
The plan to legalize slots had
come from an unlikely source. O’Malley had spoken out against gambling proposals as mayor of Baltimore. But when he became governor in 2007, Maryland faced a $1.7
billion structural deficit in the midst
of an increasingly dismal economy.
He called for a special session
that fall to address the state’s budget
woes, announcing plans to generate
revenue through tax reform and the
authorization of slot machines in
five casino locations around the
state.
But he had to win over lawmakers who blocked attempts to legalize casino gambling under former Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. So
O’Malley recommended that the
legislature approve a plan for legalization and then put it up for a vote
at referendum. He also increased the
number of slot machines in his proposal to 15,000 from 9,500, appeas-
ing slots supporters not thrilled
about the added step of a referendum.
After contentious debate, the
deal that emerged from Annapolis
was one that taxed casinos at among
the highest rates of any state in the
nation. Maryland would keep about
67 percent of the revenue from slots,
with most -- roughly half of all casino revenue -- going to an Education
Trust Fund dedicated to schools.
The Maryland Chamber of
Commerce and AFSCME, the
American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees,
threw their support behind the slots
measure -- as did the gambling industry. Pro-slots groups outspent
opponents 7-to-1, with the Laurel
Racing Association and Penn National Gaming contributing a combined $5 million to the total $7.1
million spent on supporting slots.
The Maryland teachers union
voted to endorse the measure too,
after Miller, the Senate president
and a leading slots advocate,
warned the union that education
spending could face significant cuts
if the slots measure failed and the
state’s budget trouble continued.
On Nov. 4, 2008, Maryland residents approved the slots measure
with nearly 59 percent of the vote.
A package of tax breaks
Before even one of the original
five casinos had opened, Maryland
lawmakers began weighing the
question of expanding casino gambling.
Miller, a Democrat from Prince
George’s County, announced an interest in early 2010 in adding a sixth
casino there. Not long after, the state
panel charged with awarding the
casino licenses recommended that
lawmakers consider allowing table
games to help Maryland compete
with gambling in surrounding
states. Pennsylvania, Delaware and
West Virginia had all moved to allow table games after Maryland
passed its slots-only measure in
2008.
In June 2012, MGM Resorts
International announced its interest
in building a casino at the National
Harbor in Prince George’s County,
if presented with an acceptable deal
-- which included a lower tax rate
and table games.
O’Malley called a special session the following month to debate a
gambling expansion that would include a sixth casino and Las Vegasstyle table games.
But lawmakers met with fierce
resistance from some of the companies holding Maryland casino licences, especially the Cordish Cos.,
owner of Maryland Live! Casino in
Anne Arundel County.
Company representatives complained that the proposed sixth casino would be an unexpected, and unwelcome, source of competition
that would diminish its customer
base and hurt its bottom line.
So, the legislature offered tax
breaks to the companies.
Casino companies would get to
keep 80 percent of table game revenue and give 20 percent to the Education Trust Fund. The education
fund’s share would drop to 15 percent in 2017, when the local governments that host casinos would begin
receiving 5 percent of table game
revenue.
The education fund’s share of
slots revenue would shrink too.
The General Assembly passed
the measure, sending it to a referendum as required by the 2008 slots
law.
MGM, with its eye on the sixth
casino license, gave close to $41
million to the rival, pro-expansion
group, For Maryland Jobs and
Schools.
Penn National Gaming, with
casinos in West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Perryville, Md., led the
opposition, spending more than $44
million, according to the National
Institute on Money in State Politics.
The teachers union took no position.
After the most expensive campaign in state history -- totalling
more than $94.9 million -- the referendum passed with 51.9 percent of
the vote.
An “outrageous” break
Sen. James Brochin, D-Baltimore County, in a recent interview
said he supported legalization in
2008 but voted against the expansion bill because he thought the state
was giving far too much away to the
casinos as part of the compromise.
“The tax break that we gave the
casino operators was outrageous,”
he said.
Maryland Lottery and Gaming
Control Agency officials say that
granting casino companies a bigger
share of the revenue from table
games makes sense because those
games cost more to operate than slot
machines, with additional expenses
including pay for dealers. The casinos also received breaks for taking
over ownership of the slot machines
from the state.
Additionally, a lower tax rate
allows casinos to invest more in
marketing and promotional programs that bring in more customers
and more money, said Will Cummings, of Cummings Associates,
which did a study for the state gambling agency.
In fact, casino revenues have
soared since table games debuted in
Maryland last spring, sending more
total dollars to the state as a result.
Even so, Brochin argues, the
state is taking in millions of dollars
less than it should be.
As a result, the casino industry
has pushed ahead of the education
fund as the biggest beneficiary of
state-sponsored gambling in Maryland.
The amount of revenue going
to casino operators each month of
fiscal year 2014 has surpassed the
amount going to the Education
Trust Fund. For the first time since
Maryland legalized casinos, the
casino companies are on track to
take in more money this fiscal year
than the Education Trust Fund.
“It was just bad public policy,”
Brochin said.
Since the first casino opened in
Maryland, almost $700 million
gambling dollars have gone into the
Education Trust Fund.

Remember when Mayor
Glaubitz Circle was dedicated
and Gov. Schaefer was
speaker?
Maryland’s longest-serving
mayor, Gerald “Jerry” Glaubitz, died
April 6, 2005 after a period of failing
health. But only seven months earlier, he was there when Morningsiders
gathered to dedicate the Circle on
Maple Road in his honor.
It was September 12, 2004—ten
years ago this week—that Morningsiders, Pearl Harbor Survivors,
Morningside police officers,neighbors and friends came to the circle to
pay tribute to “Mr. Morningside.”
A surprise to Jerry was the presence of his longtime friend, William
Donald Schaefer, Comptroller of
Maryland, and former Mayor of Baltimore and former Governor of
Maryland. He came to speak at the
dedication, and what a delightful
presentation he made, after jokingly
telling Jerry, “If you’d a-known I
was comin’, you’d have told them
not to invite me.”
He went on to admit “if anyone
ever deserved to be honored, it’s Jerry.” He cited Jerry’s accomplishments in Morningside, his presidency of the Maryland Municipal
League, founding of the Morningside Fire Department, his “impressive public service” and especially
his 43 years as mayor.
And then, putting on his Comptroller’s hat, he told Jerry, “I checked
your tax return.” That got a laugh.
Town Council Chairman Karen
Rooker opened the ceremonies with
the Pledge of Allegiance and Vice
Mayor Jim Ealey played “The Star
Spangled Banner” on his harmonica.
Jim Ealey had spearheaded the
dedication. He also built a handsome
pedestal for the plaque that dedicates
the circle to Jerry. Jim and his wife
Selaine unveiled the plaque. The
new mayor, Irving Robinson, presented a plaque to Jerry and told him,
“You’re a tough act to follow. It’s
hard to fill your shoes, sir.” Morningside Acting Chief of Police
Charles Ridgely led his eight officers
in touching salutes to Jerry.
Jerry thanked Comptroller
Schaefer and all involved in the ceremony, especially his wife Jean “who
is the biggest helper I have.” Jean, in
turn, thanked the assembly and remembered the days when “this beautiful circle was nothing but mud.”
The day concluded with cake,
brownies, punch and coffee at the
town hall. You would have enjoyed
being there.
Col. John C. Millard took command of the 89th Airlift Wing from
Col. David L. Almand in a ceremony
at Joint Base Andrews on Aug. 14.
The Morningside Fire Department ran 400 calls during the month
of June. They had a number of calls
on July 4th and were unable to participate in the annual parade.
Get well wishes to Dick Jurney.

Changing landscape
Ed Alley, longtime Morningside resident and member of the
Morningside Sportsmen’s Club,
died Aug. 23. A Celebration of His
Life will be held Friday, Sept. 5, 2 to
6 p.m., at the Marlboro Moose
Lodge. I’ll pay tribute to him in a future column if you [email protected] with your memories
of Ed.
Elizabeth Ann Vilky, longtime
Auth Road resident, and Richard
Lee Hamrick were married Aug. 23
at St. Philip’s Church. Their parents
are Earnest and Margaret Vilky and
Roger and Cathy Hamrick. Elizabeth’s five sisters were among the
bridesmaids.
Karen Rooker, of Morningside,
is now a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Contact her at 301-967-8377
or [email protected].
It looks as though Walmart
might not change the Oxon Hill
landscape after all; the Zoning Hearing Examiner has denied the request.
The plan was for a Super Walmart
on Oxon Hill Road, across the street
from Forest Heights Baptist Church,
with Clarion Inn to its west, John
Hanson Montessori School to its
east, and Oxon Hill High to its south.
Oxon Hill High School will become the first county school to have
a turf field when it opens its field this
fall. Dr. Henry A. Wise and Gwynn
Park will be the next high schools to
get turf fields.
Coming up
The parking lot at the Morningside Fire Department will be turned
into a Vendor Fair and Flea Market
on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 9 a.m. to
Read The Sentinel. Recycle.
3 p.m. A 10’ x 10’ space can be reserved for $25. Call Kellie at 301568-6390 for information. The
Boulevard Heights Volunteer Fire
Department Ladies Auxiliary is
sponsoring the event.
Darnall’s Chance House Museum holds its 15th Annual Gingerbread House Contest & Show in November and December. If you want
to construct a gingerbread house for
the contest, or have your children do
so, start thinking about it now, and
register by calling 301-952-8010 or
emailing [email protected]
by Nov. 14.
Pam’s Hallmark Shoppe in
Clinton will hold Artists’ Signings
for two of their Christmas Keepsake
Ornaments on Sept. 20, 10 a.m. to

Judge NANCY B. SHUGER served for 18 years as an Associate Judge on the

District Court Legal
of Maryland forServices
Baltimore City, handling various civil and criminal
matters. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) offers a creative, positive alternaNancy
tive tot the cost and uncertainty of litigation for individuals, businesses, organizaMANUAL_SOURCE
tions and families. As a former judge, she can assist disputing parties to achieve
reasonable results. ADR offers a way for her to help people discover common interests which can allow them to shape their own resolution to their disputes.
As a mediator, she acts as a private neutral. She emphasizes that mediation can be effective wether the parties desire to address differences in an
ongoing relationship, or to reach a mutually agreeable solution to a single
dispute, without trial. She uses mediation, arbitration and settlement conferences successfully for conflict involving personal injury (including auto
torts and premises liability), employment, workplace conflict, child access,
elder law, ethics, collections, contracts and other civil matters.

Likely toughest opponent:

Offensive strengths:

Offensive weaknesses:

Defensive strengths: Stopping the run, athleticism
Defensive weaknesses:

Offensive outlook: Quarterback Aaron Parker will take the
snaps for the Yellow Jackets. He will
be throwing the ball to Davonte
“Megatron” Young and Antone
McIntyre. The team runs a spread
offense but will also occasionally
use the Wing-T. Daylon Travers,
Devin Davis and Greg Young all return at running back.
Defensive outlook: Hayes said
his team uses multiple looks on defense, including a 4-3, 5-2 and 4-4.
Kimothy Bynum leads the way at
the cornerback position while Parker
will contribute at defensive end. Antone McIntyre will help out playing
safety. Hayes said explosiveness and
athleticism will be the keys for his
defense.
Special teams: Hayes said that
his special teams unit is always going to be good, led by kicker Ryan
Shymoniak. “Prince George’s Coun-
ty doesn’t use a lot of kickers,”
Hayes said.
Coach’s comments: “You’ll
see us in one defense one week and
see us in another defense the following week. Pretty much the improvement on defense will be making sure
the kids are in position to make
plays. You’ve got to be there to make
plays.”
Scouting report: Gwynn Park
has a lot of returning starters on both
offense and defense. The team has
no problem passing the ball, but
Hayes said he would like to see
some improvement from the ground
game. He should with three running
backs returning to the team from last

strengths is its front seven, which is
successful stopping the run. Hayes is

plays to help the team take its next
step forward.
Breakaway potential: This team
is experienced with a lot of returning
players and upperclassmen coming
back from a team that went 11-1 last
season. The schedule is not very intimidating outside of Frederick Dou-
glass and the road games are scattered enough to avoid long road
trips. Gwynn Park is a good bet to go
undefeated in the regular season this
year. Hayes said the team’s goal is to
win a state championship, and it
looks like the team should be in the
hunt.

Parkdale expects defensive back Tariq Irving to be a leader this season.
Offensive outlook: The Panthers will be running the pistol offense behind an offensive line that
returns four starters from last year.
Senior running back Albert Mclane
will carry the load for an offense
that according to Coach Pope will
be “electric”. While senior David
Stanton will start the season at quarterback, junior gunslinger Glandus
McCoy has made a strong impression with his performance in scrimmages and practices.
Defensive outlook: The defense will run a 4-2-5, anchored by a
secondary that features five defensive backs 6 feet or taller. Six-foottwo-inch back Tariq Irving leads the
secondary after grabbing seven interceptions during his junior year
and returning three for touchdowns.
Though the Panthers formation only
has two linebackers, senior Aaron
Greene looks to be a dominant force
with speed and athleticism.
Special teams: After struggling last year special teams could
be a major plus for the Panthers.
Kicker Tyrone Smith is said to be
kicking 6/7 FG’s consistently from
40 plus yards, with his longest at 45
yards.
Coach’s comments: “Great
thing about having a young team is
they don’t accept losing. Next year
is our year, but if we catch a flag
here or there who knows what could
happen, we could be pretty good.”
Scouting report: Parkdale is a
young team on both sides of the
ball. With many of the players on
the team coming from a JV squad
that finished 7-3 last year, the hope
is that their success will carry over
to the varsity level. The team will
look to win games on defense, led
by Tariq Irving and a menacing secondary. The Panthers’ offense looks
to be electric once it determines
who the starting quarterback will
be. Expect the Panthers to be in
every game until the very end.
Breakaway potential: Coming off a season that saw Parkdale
finish 2-8, expect for the Panthers to
be a far better team in 2014. Pope
sees his team as one of the sleepers
in the county. The schedule should
be favorable to begin the season for
the Panthers, who could possibly
exceed their win total from last year
in the first four games. The schedule
gets tougher towards the end of the
season, but with young players used
to winning and a few breaks, look
for the Panthers to be much better
than last year and maybe even challenge for a playoff position.

Largo looking to improve

Returning Offensive
starters: 5
Returning defensive
starters: 5
Likely toughest
opponent: Frederick Douglass
Skill positions
Offensive line
Defensive strengths: Secondary and defensive line
Inexperienced linebackers
Offensive outlook: Coach
Thomas said his team is trying to
score points without shooting itself
in the foot. The Lions run a spread
offense in an effort to get all of their
athletes on the field. Offensively, the
team has lots of experience. Quarterbacks Nyiem Risein and Kenneth
Darby have experience and are competing for the starting job. Antonio
White and Mike Hounshell lead the
offensive line. Kyle Prince, a tight
end last season, is moving to wide
receiver and will play opposite of
Tevon Littleton—one of the team’s
top overall athletes.
Defensive outlook: Running a
multiple 40 front defense, the Lions
are looking to play physical and
force lots of turnovers. Littleton and
Hounshell return for the defense
along with defensive backs Colin
Coston and Christien Caldwell and
defensive lineman Dante Moore.
Special teams: Thomas said a
couple of different players are competing for the kicking job, but he has
not decided on one yet.
Coach’s comments: “My game
plan is to coach as hard as I can
every day, pay attention to the de-
tails and make sure we’re coaching
every little detail to put the team in
the position to be successful.”
Scouting report: After a 3-7
season last year, the coaching staff
hopes having a few returning
starters will help the team turn its
record around. Thomas needs to figure out who will start at quarterback, but either option should enjoy
success throwing to Tevon Littleton—who has a scholarship offer
from St. Francis and is being recruited by Towson University,
James Madison University, Richmond, Monmouth and Duquesne.
Defensively, the Lions have a
healthy stable of defensive linemen
and backs, but will need their young
linebackers to grow up in a hurry,
otherwise it could be a long season.
Breakaway potential: The Lions should be better than their 3-7
record last year, but at this point it is
hard to see the team doing better

than 5-5. The schedule is pretty light
early on, but Largo will need to win
three of its four September games if
it wants to have any chance of com-

gets harder in October with

Park and Frederick Douglass.

Quarterback Michael Hubbard carries the ball during a scrimmage. Laurel
is depending on Hubbard to play a big role in its offense this season.
Offensive Outlook: Hughes
said he is looking for balance this
season on offense. The team’s
strength is at the wide receiver position, where Gregg Walker, Brandon
Goodwyn, Keyshawn Kingsley and
Tomi Baly will all look to make an
impact. Michael Hubbard, at quar-
terback, is the player tasked with
getting the receivers the ball. The
team has a stable of running backs
led by Keyon Powell, Kollie Sherman and Marcus Jackson. Kalu
Uche is the team’s most consistent
player, with an ability to play all positions on the offensive line.
Jonathan Yau and Avery Blizzard
will also look to make an impact on
the line.
Defensive Outlook: Uche,
along with leading the offense, also
plays on the defensive line in the
Spartans' 4-4 scheme. Grant Sowels
will look to put pressure on the
quarterback from the defensive end
positon, while Elijah Korkayah and
Romar Taylor will help out Uche in
the middle of the defensive line.
Michael Bynoe is the team’s top defensive back, while Jackson leads
the linebackers.
Special teams: Special teams
is still a work in progress.
Coach’s comments: “Every
game sticks out when you’re 2-8.
We have to make a commitment to
getting better and not being complacent.”
Scouting report: Hughes
takes over as coach after Todd Sommerville had three unsuccessful
seasons at the helm. Hughes hopes
to get the offense attacking more,
while on defense he is hoping to get
stops. The team is inexperienced on
both sides of the ball, but Hughes
likes his wide receivers. Defensively, he is hoping to build depth by rotating players in and out on the defensive line.
Breakaway potential: Hughes brings a lot of experience to the
head coaching position at Laurel,
but with so many young and inexperienced players and a brutal
schedule, it is hard to see this team
winning more than three or four
games. The Spartans take on Suitland and Flowers in the middle of
the season before a rough fourgame stretch at the end of October
and beginning of November against
Bowie, Wise, Eleanor Roosevelt
and DuVal.

line will be anchored by highly-touted juniors Terrance Davis and JP
Urquidez.
Defensive outlook: The Stags
boast Penn State pledge Shane Simmons on the defensive line and Ohio
State recruit Tyler Green in the secondary. The dynamic duo should
provide the Stags with a formidable
defense.
Special teams: Keegan Myer
will handle the placekicking duties
while Thomas Barringer will take
care of the punting chores. Darryl
Turner Jr. and Anthony McFarland
will return kickoffs and punts.
Coach’s comments: “One
game at a time. We want to be in a
position to make a run for the
WCAC Finals as we do every year
but right now it’s just one game at a
time.”
Scouting report: Despite their
youth and inexperience, this team
should still contend for the league title along with Gonzaga, Good Counsel and McNamara.
Break away potential: Possible. Although this team lost a bundle
of talent at the skill positions, the
Stags return a number of D1
prospects. The big question mark is
at quarterback, where the incumbent
will be unproven. The schedule
makers didn’t do them any favors either so this could be an interesting
year for DeMatha.

The Crusaders have talent, but the team is young and faces a tough
schedule after going undefeated in the CAFC last season.
Offensive Outlook:The Crusaders offense needs a running
back as they graduated their top
two backs. The Crusaders have a
big offensive line leading the way
this year. Fortunately for the Crusaders starting quarterback Amir
Hall returns. Hall threw for 10
touchdowns last year and 843
yards. The Crusaders offense put
up 347 points last year an average
of 34.7 points per game, but with
this tough schedule, it is going to
be tough for them to do better or repeat that.
Defensive Outlook: Expect to
see the 4-3 and expect to see the
cover 2 and cover 2 man. The Crusaders will need to work on their
run coverage. It doesn't help the
team lost Kyle Lattimore who led
the defense in tackles tackles with
50 and 5.5 sacks on the year last
year. The Crusaders allowed an average of 11.1 points per game last
year. It will be very tough for them
to repeat that this year.
Special Teams: The Crusaders special teams will have
some familiar faces back, like Zech
Mcpherson who was their number
one kick returner last year. The
Crusaders graduated their number
one punt returner J. Hightower and
graduated their punter Baynes.
Scouting report: The Crusaders schedule this year is much
harder than it was last year. Their
first game of the season will be one
of the toughest games of the season
as they play Archbishop Spalding.
With schools like The Avalon
School, Bishop McNamara and
Georgetown Prep, there will be lots
of exciting games. They also play
Perry Street Prep which will be a
rematch of last years Capital Area
Football Conference championship
game.
Break-Away Potential: This
year it doesn't look like the Crusaders will go undefeated again.
The schedule is to tough and as
good as they are they really need to
work on their run coverage and
even their pass coverage. The Defense isn't bad but it will need work
to compete with the teams they are
playing this year. If their offense
can't find a running back, then it
too looks like it will struggle as
well against the tough competition.
The Crusaders at least should go 56. Having a record of 9-2 is possible, but they will probably finish 83. The Crusaders will still be one of
the top teams in the Capital Area
Football Conference. They will
have a good chance to repeat as
champs.

Quarterback Devin Butler has an opportunity to be special once again
this year after throwing and running
for a combined 1,000 all-purpose

Mackle will help carry the load for
the Eagles after he rushed for 564
yards and 7 touchdowns while averaging over six yards per carry. He
takes over for Kenneth Freeman
who graduated last spring.
Defensive outlook: Senior
linebacker Aaron Johnson had 49
tackles, three fumble recoveries and
an interception last season. Johnson
returns to a lineup which includes a
cast of young and talented reserves
ready to answer the call, including
sophomore defensive end Marcus
Bowman. Bowman enjoyed a breakout season last year with 30 tackles,
three sacks and one forced fumble.
Senior defensive back Quinton Jordan is unquestionably one of the best
players returning on defense this
year after notching 58 tackles and
grabbing three interceptions last season.
Special teams: The team is still
figuring out who will take kicks.
Coach’s comments: “We averaged over 40 points a game last year
and I think that this team can be on
that type of pace. We are trying to
put as many points on the board as
possible.”
Scouting report: The Eagles
were powerhouse last season, but
will need Butler to continue to mature if they want to have any chance
of going deeper. Defensively, the
team has some inexperience so
younger players will need to step up
and help carry the load so the pressure is not always on the offense to
win games.
Breakaway potential: The Eagles only lost three games last year,
including twice to Gwynn Park. The
schedule is not too tough and the

team should easily qualify for the
playoffs. With Butler still taking
snaps, the sky is the limit for this
team offensively, but the defense
will need to get stops in the playoffs
if Frederick Douglass wants to make
it to the state championship game.
Pinkney will need to use the regular

players experience to prepare them

Ronald Bell, pictured above, is expected to carry a big load for Friendly
this season.
Offensive Outlook: The Patriots, in their first year under new
coach Vaughn Smith, are looking
for a balanced offensive attack led
by its linemen Kendell Robinson
and Damon Atwater. Smith is hoping to get the ball into Ronald Bell’s
hands as much as possible, calling
him the “most dynamic athlete in
P.G.” Tarik Smith III will be handling quarterback duties while wide
receiver Isiah Ryans is the team’s
emotional leader.
Defensive Outlook: Smith
said his defense is not going to sit
back—he plans on attacking and
getting after opponents. Tre’Vaughn
Henry is the team’s top corner and
will be expected to shut down opposing receivers. Isaiah Dozier will
play safety and Smith said he “can
really, really hit.” Kendrick Carroll
is the team’s top returning linebacker.
Special teams: Ronald Bell
will handle kick and punt return duties in an effort to give him an opportunity to make plays. Smith said
the coaching staff places an emphasis on special teams, practicing for
at least 30 minutes every day.
Coach’s comments: “This is
our year. This is my second time
around at Friendly and we won
twice before. The talent here is
crazy. We have what it takes to go
all the way. We’re ready.”
Scouting report: Vaughn
Smith, a former assistant at Friendly
during the school’s success in the
early 2000s, takes over as the
school’s head coach after serving as
an assistant coach at Bishop McNamara last season. Smith is hoping to
rejuvenate the program, and he has
some talent to work with. The team
is depending on Ronald Bell to be
its top playmaker, but Smith is confident in his ability. Defensively, the
team has talent at all positions, led
by top defensive back Tre’Vaughn
Henry. Smith said he plans on blitzing a lot.
Breakaway potential: So-so.
The team has talent, but it may take
a season or two for Smith to put his
fingerprints on the Friendly program. It doesn’t help the team plays
in one of the toughest divisions in
the state—the 2A South, where even
teams with 8-2 records sometimes
do not qualify for the playoffs. The
team plays two of its first three
games on the road and faces a particularly brutal stretch to end the
season against Forestville, Surrattsville and Gwynn Park.

Defensive strengths: Athleticism and speed

Offensive outlook: The Wildcats use a run-oriented spread offense and struggle passing the ball.
Coach Pierre said he thinks the offensive line is the biggest asset of the
team, led by Andrew Pinkey, Dontay
Smith and Kemani Brown. Leon
Victor will see time at quarterback
and running back, while Janard Taylor will also take some carries. Justin
Mack will look to become the bigplay receiver the team needs, while
Rondell Fletcher also adds some
speed on the outside.
Defensive outlook: Pierre’s
specialty is defense, where he uses a
3-5-3 scheme. Northwestern should
be strong on that side of the ball this
season, particularly in the secondary.
Mohammed Turay is the team’s top
returning cornerback, and he will be
joined in the secondary by Mack and
Victor. Senior middle linebacker
Emmanuel Vilain leads an inexperienced linebacking group, but junior
Antoine Proctor has potential.
Pinkney and Smith will play two
ways and make up the core of the defensive line.
Special teams: Special teams is
the first thing the team works on
every practice. The team’s kicker
and punter from last year are both returning this season. Rondell Fletcher
could make an impact as a kick returner.
Coach’s comments: “We’re
okay if we go out there and score
two or three touchdowns and keep
the other team from scoring.”
Scouting report: The Wildcats
have some experience coming back
on both sides of the ball, and should
be particularly strong on defense.
The question is if they will be able to
score many points. The offense
tends to be one-dimensional because
it struggles to pass the ball, having to
share the practice field with the soccer team. Leon Victor is a talented
athlete at the quarterback position,
but he will need to show an ability to
get the ball into his receivers’ hands,
particularly Justin Mack. Defensively, the Wildcats need their young
linebackers to mature quickly because the rest of the defense is set.

western has a chance to surprise this

team has a number of players coming back this season, and the first
half of the schedule is light. After
opening the season against Sussex
Central (Deleware), Northwestern

The Wolverines huddle up before a game against Frederick Douglass High
School last season. The team hopes to challenge for the playoffs this year.
Offensive outlook: Potomac
likes to pound the ball on the ground
on offense, so putting the ball in the
hands of Kesean Strong will be essential for the team’s success, according to head coach Ronnie
Crump. Strong has the ability to
score from anywhere on the field.
The team will also depend heavily on
Tayon Fleet-Davis, a running back
who racked up the yardage with the
junior varsity team last year.
Defensive outlook: Potomac is
loaded on defense with nine starters
coming back. Led by defensive back
David Rose, Crump expects the secondary to help shut opposing offenses down. The Wolverines run multiple styles of defense, but Crump said
he wants to use more zone coverage
this season so they are not always
playing man to man.
Special teams: Potomac has
one of the better returners in the
county in Kesean Strong ran back
three kickoffs and three punts for
touchdowns last season. The addition of Jeffery King, who moved
back into Prince George’s County
from Damascus High School, will be
punting and kicking for them.
Coach’s comments: “We can
go two or three deep at the linebacker
core. You might see anything this
year.”
Scouting report: Potomac is
coming off a .500 season, but looks
to challenge for the playoffs this
year. Offensively, Potomac is going
to rely on the ground game to keep
the ball out of the opposition’s hands
and churn down the clock. With Kesean Strong and Tayon Fleet-Davis
handling the carries, the running attack should be successful. However,
the Wolverines’s calling card will be
its defense, which has plenty of athleticism in the back seven. Look for
Potomac to play a field position
game to try and win games by playing defense.
Breakaway potential: Potomac has the potential to be very
good and should challenge for a
playoff spot. The Wolverines have a
tough schedule with Suitland, Frederick Douglass and Gwynn Park all
within a five week span, but if they
can hold their own against at least
two of those opponents, they’ve got a
