UPPER MARLBORO – Seven
nonprofits in Prince George’s County have a little more funding for projects after United Way awarded
more than $100,000 to address the
education, financial stability and
health of residents in the county.
On March 29, United Way of
the National Capital Area (NCA)
presented the seven nonprofits with
a ceremonial check at the County
Administration Building. Capital
Area Food Bank, Community Support Systems, Food & Friends,
House of Ruth Maryland, Housing

GLENN DALE – With an open
seat in contention, candidates from
all walks of life are hoping to be
chosen to represent the county in the
U.S. Congress.
Four Democratic candidates
vying for the 4th District U.S.
House of Representatives seat being
vacated by Donna Edwards (D) as
she runs for U.S. Senate gathered at
Reid Temple A.M.E Church last
Thursday for a wide-ranging forum
about their policy plans if elected to
federal office.
Edwards herself, along with
Senate race rival Chris Van Hollen
(D-8), also answered moderator
questions at the end of the evening.
The forum was jointly sponsored by the Prince George’s County Democratic Central Committee
(DCC), the county chapter of the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
(NAACP) and the Prince George’s
County Chamber of Commerce.
DCC Chair Cheryl Landis said this
was the first debate to bring together

all three organizations.
Anthony Brown, Warren
Christopher, Glenn Ivey and Joseline Peña-Melnyk addressed issues
ranging from expanding business
opportunities to improving schools
and more during the three-hour
event.
Brown is a U.S. Army veteran
who served in the Maryland Gener-
al Assembly before being selected
as lieutenant governor under Martin
O’Malley. Brown stressed the importance of education throughout
the debate.
When asked about how the
government could better help veterans, Brown said he had worked with
officials in Maryland to allow veterans to access mental health services
outside of the Veterans Administration (VA) hospitals and clinics.
“One of the things I would
champion is not privatizing the VA
healthcare, but opening up more
partnerships with non-VA health facilities so we can get more, better,
quicker care,” he said.
Another U.S. Army veteran,
Christopher retired as a lieutenant
colonel and worked in several federal departments and Senate committees. He said his focus would be
on constituent services and bringing
federal dollars home to the 4th District.
Christopher proposed a national service corps program as one way

WASHINGTON, D.C. – If
Metro’s 29-hour shutdown was a
headache for the region, riders may
want to prepare for a migraine if
the beleaguered agency closes lines
for months at a time.
Washington Metropolitan
Area Transit Authority (WMATA)
Board Chair Jack Evans made the
announcement at a summit with re-
gional leaders in the Washington/Metropolitan Council of Governments (COG) on March 30.
Called “Metrorail at 40: Restoring
a World-Class System,” the event
was attended by 100 guests who
heard first-hand from Evans and
Metro General Manager Paul
Wiedefeld about how backlogged
the transit system truly is with
maintenance.
Evans said the current maintenance schedule, which involves
closing segments of track for three
hours on weeknights and on weekends for repair work, does not provide enough time for workers to
complete the needed maintenance.
“In order to do repairs that are
necessary, it may come to the point
where we have to close the entire
Blue Line for six months,” Evans
said, “People will go crazy. But
there are going to be hard decisions
that have to be made in order to get
this fixed.”
County council Chair Derrick
Davis was at the COG event. While
many expressed surprise at the revelation, that was not his reaction.
“What I took away from the
last several meetings, the reason I
wasn’t surprised, was because I
was listening. We are in a state of
deep repair need,” he said. “I was
probably more taken aback when

College launches Blues festival
Each week The Sentinel visits
a memorable story from its
archives.
Blues fans crowded the theater
at Prince George’s Community College last Friday for the kickoff of the
Blues Project, an eight-month series
of events designed to reintroduce
Prince Georgians to an art form that
many have forgotten.
The project, funded by a
$150,000 grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities, is
designed to include the community
as well as the students and faculty.
“Part of our stated mission is to
serve the needs of our community,
and that’s more than what we do in
the classroom,” said Isa Engleberg,
co-director of the Blues Project and
academic assistant to the college’s
vice president for instruction. She
and her colleagues were seeking a
program that would reflect the cul-
tural heritage of the community the
college serves, and they finally hit
upon the Blues.
“The Blues may be the original
American art form,” she said. “It attracts people from across age, race,
economic and all other dividing
lines. Here we have this large facility,
all this good equipment, and in a safe
place. You don’t have to go to a club
and sit in a dark, smoky room and
buy drinks to hear great Blues
artists.”
The Blues Project will offer 22
free events between now and November. Friday night’s featured
guests were a professor who specializes in understanding and explaining
the basic definition of the traditional
Blues form, and a musician whose
music exemplifies it. Pairings of
scholar and artist will be the pattern
for many of the Blues Project’s
spring and summer events.
Perusing Prince George’s is The Sentinel’s weekly blotter of noteworthy events that
have happened or will happen in the area.
House of Ruth Jewels Inc. Tours Nation
to Serve A Thousand Women
Women face unique professional challenges from income and promotion disparities to balancing work with family. Corporate Jewel prepares and equips Christian
women for success through personal expansion, professional enhancement and spiritual
enrichment forums such as the upcoming
CROWN Tour summit held April 30 at the
University of D.C. Community College.
The Corporate Jewel summit will transform, engage and inspire women to grow and
develop in the most critical areas of their
lives. Dynamic development sessions led by
experienced professionals will empower and
educate women to align their spiritual gifts,
talents, skills and experiences in order to
gain career satisfaction while living on pur-
The scholar, Jeff Titon, is a professor of ethnomusicology at Brown
University and author of “Early
Downhome Blues.” With the help of
snippets of taped music on tape and
sheets of lyrics projected overhead,
Titon clarified his definition of the
Blues form.
He explained that some components of the Blues may date back as
far as slavery, such as the southern
preacher’s call and response, 1890s
secular dance music, and the “field
holler” uttered by someone feeling
lonely or overtired from work, releasing his or her feelings vocally.
The word “Blues” and its characteristic form – three line stanzas
with the first line repeated twice - did
not appear until the 1900s, he explained.
Titon was paired with John
Jackson, 69, a Fairfax County Blues
musician who between songs an-
pose. Women will have the opportunity to
network with women at various levels of
professional life whether beginning a career,
growing within a profession, or transitioning
out of work life.
The CROWN Tour visits Texarkana,
Texas, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, and Houston with a conference held in October 2016
in Dallas. Throughout the year, women can
continue growth and development with Corporate Jewel through social media networks
and events including the certificate program

4th Congressional District Democratic Debate, where all six candidates vying for Rep.

Candidates Glenn Ivey, Anthony Brown,
swered Titon’s questions and related
anecdotes from his early Blues days
– such as how he sliced a usable
capotasto (a movable bar that uniformly alters the pitch of all the
strings on an instrument) for himself
out of an old inner tube.
John Jackson grew up in the
Blue Ridge Mountains, where he
taught himself to play guitar by listening to the 78 RPMs he and his sister bought from furniture peddlers
and played on his parents’ wind-up
record player.
Although the Blues is associated with African Americans, Jackson
recalled that in his youth white musicians would come bring their instruments down from the hills and play
along with the neighborhood Blues
combo. They would blend their
country music with the Blues and
dance along.
It wasn’t until Jackson was

of the Hyattsville Life & Times, and Candace
Rojo Keyes, assistant editor of The Prince
George’s Sentinel. Candidates will be discussing hot button topics such as decriminalizing marijuana, criminal justice reform, immigration, FBI Headquarters relocation, gun
control and voting rights. Questions will be
tailored to Prince George’s County and Hyattsville.
There will also be meet-and-greet opportunities after the debate for both the press and

Prince George’s County nonprofits
receive $100K from United Way
From “United Way” page 1
National Center for Children and
Families.
“United Way NCA’s Community Impact grant process helps us to
focus our investments to create maximum impact in the areas of greatest
need in our community. With our
nonprofit partners, we are preparing
more of our youth for lifelong health
and success, and helping more families to break the cycle of homelessness and become financially stable,”
said Rosie Allen-Herring, President
and Chief Executive Officer of United Way NCA.
This year United Way NCA is
awarding 61 total community impact
grants to nonprofits in the Washington, D.C, Maryland and Virginia areas as part of the organization’s
“Community Commitment.” United
Way NCA has pledged to a $10 million investment to the area over the
next five years.
The funds came through designations to the Prince George’s Community Impact Fund in United Way
NCA’s annual workplace giving
campaign. Overall, the organization
has provided more than 250 community impact grants totaling $650,000
to nonprofits in the county from 2012
to 2015.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker III said the county is stronger because of its nonprofits
and their work, and through these
grants they will be able to expand
their work and provide much needed
services to residents in the county.
“This support from the United
Way will assist seven organizations
to continue or expand their work
around the county,” Baker said. “I
want to thank Rosie Allen-Herring
and the United Way of the National
Capital Area for once again working
with the employees of the Prince
George’s County government to raise
these much needed funds. Thanks to
the commitment of our dedicated
staff, as well as those who donated to
the Community Impact Fund, the
United Way is able to continue its investment in our great county.”
The seven nonprofits were chosen for the grants through a competitive process facilitated by volunteer
committees made up of local citizens
and NCA regional council members.
Food & Friends, one of the grant
recipients, works in both Prince
George’s and Montgomery counties.
Executive Director Craig Shniderman said United Way’s support is “integral” to the work the nonprofit
does.
The grant Food & Friends received will go toward their Specialized Nutrition Services for the Critically Ill, which are provided free of
charge to clients based on medicallydefined criteria. The program offers
11 meal plans including diabetic,
pureed and vegetarian through the
home-delivered meals (fully prepared meals by chefs) or groceries-togo (meal components include pantry
items, fresh produce and frozen
meats) programs.
“The Community Impact Grants
have helped us ensure specialized
meal delivery and nutrition services
to our critically ill neighbors across
the region. The most recent grants for
our services in Prince George’s
County and Montgomery County
will help with costs associated with
the preparation and delivery of more
than 394,000 meals to individuals
and families facing HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other life-challenging illnesses,” Shniderman said. “Our work of
compassion to deliver health, hope
and friendships to the most vulnerable members in our community
would not be possible without the incredible support of the United Way
NCA Community Impact Grant program.”
Another lawsuit filed vs. Carraway, others
By Jim Davis
Special to The Sentinel
PRINCE GEORGE’S COUNTY – Yet another lawsuit has been
filed this week in the case of Deonte
Carraway, a former Prince George’s
County school aide at Sylvania
Woods Elementary, who is accused
of sexually abusing at least 17 children.
The lawsuit filed in the county
states Carraway took an 11-year-old,
fifth grade female student who attended the elementary school behind
the stage, abused her and threatened
to kill one of the other victims if she
told anyone.
According to the lawsuit, Carraway forced the student to engage in
a sex act with another student while
he videotaped it on his cell phone.
The female student also claims to
have been abused by Carraway “multiple times at private residences.”
The lawsuit continues to state
that when the student returned to her
classroom, her teacher never asked
where she had been after being out of
class for a long period of time.
Carraway also used a municipal
center in Glenarden where the mayor,
city manager, the town police department and other town officials have
offices, for choir practices. During
the choir practices, Carraway would
play hide-and-seek with the girl and
other children to isolate them and
abuse them.
The lawsuit was filed against
Carraway, Sylvania Woods Elementary School Principal Michelle
Williams, the Prince George's County
Board of Education and Glenarden
Mayor Dennis Smith.
Carraway is facing 13 counts of
exploiting children. He also faces
federal charges. He is on a no-bond
status and is being held in the Prince
George's County Detention Center in
Upper Marlboro.

debt. Under his plan, students who
enter certain careers in the public
sector or medical or education fields
would have their student loans forgiven.
“What I envision is when you
graduate and get a good job with a
livable wage, you pay 3 percent of
your income back into this program
to pay it forward for the next person
to come along behind you,” he said.
Ivey was elected state’s attorney for Prince George’s County in
2002 and he said he was able to drive crime to 30-year lows. Ivey credited his ability to build partnerships
with community and faith groups
for the success and said he’d bring
that ability to Congress.
Ivey believes federal workers’
salaries should be commensurate
with private-sector wages, and
added that job growth opportunities
in the federal workforce were also
important.
“We also have to make sure we
expand training and opportunities.
We’ve got a pipeline issue right
now. We’ve got the baby boomers
aging out and we’ve got to make
sure young people are coming in so
they can get the experience they
need to move up,” he said.
The fourth candidate on the
dais, Peña-Melnyk, is a nine-year
member of the General Assembly
and a first-generation college student. She promised to fight hard for
her constituents and to be an independent voice.
She used her personal experience as one of five House of Delegates members selected for a task
force to study criminal justice reform to describe her plans for addressing the issue at the federal level. Her group came up with 23 recommendations including police
psychological training, whistleblower protection, a citizen review
board and plans to make the police
force more representative of the
community, she said.
“We are pretty progressive (in
Maryland). And those policies I
have actually supported in the legislature are the same policies I will
support at the federal level because
we have to work on that relationship
and the trust,” she said.
The issue of the continuing
foreclosure crisis, which particularly affects African-Americans and
has hit Prince George’s County
hard, offered insight into the differences between the candidates’ policies.
Ivey responded by saying he
had experience bringing the predatory lenders responsible to justice.
“We’ve got to make sure we
prosecute these banks and these
loan lenders when they cross that
kind of line,” he said. “I had the
chance to prosecute several of these
for fraud here in Prince George’s
County. We need the federal government to step up and do it, too.”
Brown emphasized the need to
help the families who are struggling.
“What I propose: a moratorium
on foreclosures and a bailout for
homeowners. We bailed out the big
banks, we need to bail out the homeowners,” he said.
Peña-Melnyk said the solution
would be to bring those two groups,
bankers and homeowners, together
through arbitration.
“In the state of Maryland, we
passed a bill that actually allows for
arbitration to make sure we force
the banks to sit down with people
when they’re losing their homes,”
she said. “At the (federal) level, I
will make sure to force the banks,
first of all, to sit down with the individual.”
And Christopher said loan
modifications through arbitration
are only part of the answer.
“We have to make sure it’s not
just about modifications. We have to
make sure people are offered principal reductions to bring the houses to
the value that they are,” he said.
Those four participants were
invited to the forum based on
polling data. However, two other
candidates for the seat were also in
attendance and were given the
chance to briefly explain their positions.
Matthew Fogg, a former U.S.
Marshall, touted his status as a
whistleblower who won’t “go along
to get along,” and someone who has
seen first-hand the selective enforcement of laws at the federal level.
And Terrence Strait, an Army
veteran with a master’s degree in
psychology, said he wanted the
country to go further in fighting
emissions and global warming. He
also said he wanted to move beyond
governing from crisis to crisis.
“We have people who are so
worried about what they’re going to
be judged for on their two years or
their four years that we don’t make
long-term plans,” he said. “We used
to think big in this country, and that’s
something we can do again.”
All six candidates will be campaigning in Prince George’s and
Anne Arundel counties in the leadup to the April 26 primary.
Leadership says six-month Metro line shutdown possible
From “Metro” page 1
was done in 2005, and there had
been very little or no activity done
to ensure the tenets in that 2005 report had been met or even acted
upon.”
Although the Blue Line,
which begins at Largo Town Center in Davis’ council district, was
singled out, Evans said any of the
lines could be closed, although the
Red Line was unlikely to be impacted because it had recently been
repaired.
Evans said the decision on closures would come from Wiedefeld
and not the board. And Wiedefeld
confirmed he was “keeping his options open” regarding long-term
shutdowns, but had yet to make a
decision.
On March 31, Wiedefeld sent
an email to Metro customers addressing the anxiety stirred up by
Evans’ remarks.
“I want to let you know I am
working on a long-range maintenance plan for the rail system to ensure safe and reliable service. The
plan is in development now, and I
expect to have it ready in four to six
weeks,” he wrote. “While I am
keeping options open on how to
proceed, no decisions have been
made. Moreover, any service
change in the plan that could affect
your commute will receive ample
notice to customers, businesses,
stakeholders and the region as a
whole.”
County leaders reacted swiftly
to Wednesday’s revelations.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern Baker III said while
he had supported Wiedefeld’s decision to institute a system-wide shutdown for 29 hours on March 16, he
had concerns about the negative
impacts of such a long-term disrup-
tion.
“Although I am very concerned about passenger safety, I believe Metro’s latest revelation requires more evaluation. Shut downs
over an extended period of time
will have a significant impact on
our residents and businesses who
rely heavily on Metro operating
regularly. Any decision to close
down Metrorail would also dramatically increase traffic, which goes
against our regional efforts to reduce congestion on our roads,” he
said in a statement.
Davis had a different reaction,
saying the years of inactivity on
maintenance, combined with inconsistent funding (especially at the
federal level), have finally added
up.
“It’s time for that urgency of
now for this to happen,” he said. “I
do think it’s going to be an inconvenience for all as we attempt to en-
sure we avert catastrophe. But I
would far rather be inconvenienced
than have the worst happen.”
Davis and other WMATA observers viewed the shutdown two
weeks ago as a taste of things to
come as the transit system tries to
recover from its bad reputation for
safety and reliability. Wiedefeld,
who previously worked in the airline industry as the chief executive
officer of the Maryland Aviation
Administration, has said he will
make safety his number-one priority.
On March 16 he completely
closed all six lines to allow for safety inspections after a fire at the
McPherson Square Metro station
was ignited by sparks from corroded power cables.
That inspection uncovered 26
safety issues, including three “metal-on-metal” corrosion situations
where trains would not have been
running had they been known to
staff.
Davis said he believes Wiedefeld and Evans are the right leaders
to put Metro on the right track,
since they have authorized the studies and reviews necessary to make
these decisions.
“I don’t play an engineer on
television because I am not one. I
seek out the people who can give me
the expert testimony,” he said. “I
think we’ve done the measuring.”
As Wiedefeld formulates his
plan to address lagging maintenance
in the next month, Baker said he
hopes that the opinions of the region’s leaders will be taken into
consideration.
“It is imperative that the voices
and views of Prince George’s County stakeholders are heard as we try
to find the best solution to these
mounting concerns about the safety
of Metro,” he said.

Planning Board briefed on resource conversation plan progress
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
UPPER MARLBORO – It’s not
easy being green, so the planning department is gathering input from a
variety of stakeholders as it devises a
new Resource Conservation Functional Master Plan (RCP).
Project Manager CJ Lammers
provided a briefing to the Planning
Board on March 31 detailing the
progress made on the RCP so far, including specific input staff received
from the public as well as county
government and private-sector
groups.
“I want to make sure you know
that we’re aware of the bigger policies and the direction of Plan 2035.
That’s what’s driving this,” Lammers
said. The partnerships allow planning staff to incorporate many Plan
2035 goals as they go about devising
the plan.
The RCP encompasses three
main areas: green infrastructure,
agriculture, and preserving the rural
character of the county.
For green infrastructure, Lammer said the main concerns have
been about water quality, connectivity between neighborhoods, especial-
ly in inner-Beltway communities,
and the loss of forests and tree
canopy. Plan 2035 calls for the county to maintain its 52 percent tree and
forest canopy, but that has not been
happening, according to Lammer.
Additionally, the forests the county
does have left are now mostly edge
forests, which are less healthy than
core forests.
“Citizens are concerned, obviously, that we set that goal and then
forests continue to be lost. So we
need to have some strategies to address those kinds of things,” she said.
She said those green infrastructure pieces would have benefits for
human health, with trees creating
cleaner air and water, as well as making food more accessible. Connecting communities will make the county more walkable, she added.
Trees have economic benefits as
well, with the tree canopy performing $12.8 billion worth of stormwater management services each year,
according to Lammer.
“How can our work support
what the county is spending millions
of dollars to do to repair our broken
stormwater system?” she asked.
Preserving the rural character of
the county will also help economi-
cally, Lammer said. Ecotourism,
farm-based businesses like wineries
and artisanal cheese making, and
new bicycling groups are springing
up in the county’s rural sectors and
leading to economic growth.
“It’s really on the up, these economic pieces. And the reason people
come here is the view. These rural
roads are so gorgeous,” Lammer
said. “We’d like to preserve those
cultural resources and views.”
She added Prince George’s
County does not have a county-wide
agricultural plan, because the Priority
Preservation Area plan applies only
to certain parcels of land. It also does
not address urban agriculture, which
is a growing industry trend and one
the new plan will incorporate.
Planning Commissioner A.
Shuanise Washington said she was
surprised to hear the current plan was
not a county-wide one.
“I am particularly pleased that
you are involved and looking at that
because we definitely need it,” she
said.
Other county residents and
groups also provided input into topics
the plan should address at a series of
meetings and input sessions held earlier this year. For example, Lammer
said the county chapter of the Building Industry Association raised the
possibility of allowing stormwater
management features to be located in
protected areas, but the citizens said
“the exact opposite.”
“We need to find a balance there,
when it’s appropriate to have these facilities into the protected areas and
when it’s not,” Lammer said.
The county chamber of commerce also expressed its support for
the growing green economy in the
county, and Lammer reported that she
and her staff has ideas for how to tap
into that.
“I keep talking about, how do
you make something that can be an
eyesore an asset?” she said. “Our eyesore to asset is our warehouses.”
Lammer said the county has
hundreds of acres of warehouses that
could be filled with businesses related to green products like solar panels,
green roofing materials and bio-retention technologies.
“Trying to connect people with
jobs is one of, I think, the economic
benefits of having a plan like this. It’s
making those connections,” Lammer
said.
She added having the RCP in
place will also allow the department
to receive more grant money for projects and studies.
Planning Board Chairman Elizabeth Hewlett thanked Lammer and
her team for their work on the project
since last September.
“It’s important that you have
such a widespread, comprehensive
approach. It really is very thorough,”
she said.
The RCP team plans to hold one
more input session with the city staff
of Bowie and Cheverley on May 4 to
see what those municipalities are doing with their individual sustainability plans and how the strategies can be
incorporated into the county one.
Then, the draft will be prepared
by this summer, with a public hearing
in the fall. The goal is to get county
council approval by December 2016,
although the deadline to have it is
March 17, 2017.
Updating the current plan,
which was devised in 2005, is necessary to make it more streamlined and
easier to update. Lammer added the
current plan is also outdated.
“It’s 11 years old. That’s like 99
in plan years. You think about the
technology and how much it’s
changed in that amount of time, that’s
a long time,” she said.
GA considering University of Maryland College Park, Baltimore merger
By Matthew Beinart
@mbeinhart22
COLLEGE PARK – College
Park is synonymous with the University of Maryland, but soon the same
could be said of Baltimore City.
The Maryland General Assembly is considering a potential merger
between the College Park and Baltimore campuses as part of the University of Maryland Strategic Partnership Act of 2016.
The bill, sponsored by 12 senators, includes provisions for electing
a president for each campus, setting
up a Center for Advanced Ventures to
be located in Baltimore, and creating
a plan to establish a University of
Maryland Center for Economic and
Entrepreneurship Development.
“I think this bill could provide
many opportunities for students, including additional resources for research that students could participate
in, increased opportunities for joint
instruction between the schools of
medicine, law, letters and sciences,
engineering, and greater overall collaboration among the schools,” College Park Mayor Patrick Wojahn
said.
Wojan said the College Park
City Council has been advised on the
bill’s status by City Lobbyist
Leonard L. Lucchi, but has not taken
a direct position on the bill.
“With the current language of
the bill, I do not believe it would have
a significant impact on the relationship between the city and the university,” Wojahn said. “My biggest concern was the possibility that the two
presidencies would be combined and
we would have a president who
would not be based in College Park,
but that seems to have been addressed
in the bill.”
After its first reading in front of
the Senate, the bill was amended to
omit a provision that would allow the
Board of Regents to name one university president for both campuses.
Current University of Maryland,
Baltimore President Jay Perman offered his support for the partnership,
but cautioned against a full merger
when speaking to the House Appropriations Committee, according to a
statement on the Baltimore campus’
website.
“If there’s confusion regarding
whether this is a merger, and there
can be no question that there is confusion, then there’ll be unnecessary impact on the critical work of partnering
two very different cultures,” Perman
said before the committee.
The bill is meant to build on the
success of MPower, a strategic partnership alliance started in 2010 that
promoted joint collaboration, research and development opportunities between the College Park and
Baltimore campuses, according to
Molly McKee-Seabrook, the chief of
staff for state Sen. Bill Ferguson (DBalt. City) who is sponsoring the bill.
“The MPower program has been
enormously successful, creating over
$72 million in research grant funding
that otherwise would not have happened,” McKee-Seabrook said. “This
bill is not a merger, but a strategic
partnership furthering and expanding
on the work MPower has started.”
State Sen. Jim Rosapepe (D-21)
also added amendments that would
recognize the collaboration that has
taken place between the University of
Maryland and the city of College
Park, require continued collaboration, and require the university annually report on that collaboration.
The bill was heard March 1 and
eventually passed a Senate vote
March 11.
“The bill had a good hearing, but
faces a tougher reception in the
House than it did in the Senate,” said
Lucchi, adding House members with
ties to the university in Baltimore feel
this partnership would put their university in a disadvantaged position.
University of Maryland, College
Park President Wallace Loh’s office
is continuing to monitor the bill as it
moves through the legislative process
and believes this partnership could
help the boost Maryland’s economy.

EDC hosts municipal leaders to start partnership
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
LARGO – The county’s Economic Development Corporation
(EDC) and its municipal corporations are hoping to cooperate.
On March 30, the EDC held its
first annual municipal appreciation
day, where representatives from
among the county’s 27 municipalities met with EDC and other county staff to hear how EDC resources
could be leveraged to help their
cities or towns grow.
“This is the start. It’s the catalyst of the EDC reaching out to our
local municipalities,” Jim Coleman, chief executive officer of the
EDC, said. “Our goal is to activate
prosperity in every single corner of
Prince George’s County.”
Coleman and his staff gave
presentations to the municipal
leaders detailing the EDC’s programs and projects that could benefit their jurisdictions. Staff also
prepared a resource guide for the
leaders with staff photos and job
descriptions as well as information
about the many job training, business incubation, development incentive and other programs on offer.
“This guide is your one-stop
shop for the EDC, and we prepared
it especially for you,” Britta Vander
Linden, chief of staff for Coleman,
said.
County Executive Rushern
Baker III was scheduled to speak at
the event, but was not present.
Rhonda Dallas, executive director of the county Arts and Humanities Council, gave a presentation about the value of the arts in
economic development and provided a survey for the municipal
leaders to take to determine how art
can help their specific town.
“It kind of puts you in a focus
and a direction. Based on the nuances of your municipality, what is
the starting point?” Dallas said.
After listening to the presentations, the municipal representatives were invited to give feedback
on how to best move forward with
the partnership.
Councilman Walter Ficklin of
Bladensburg said the EDC has
been a valuable partner for the
town by providing access to resources.
“Money is great, but resources
will give you unlimited opportunities,” he said. “Our business people
got excited by the resources that
were available (from the EDC).”
Coleman said the Bladensburg
partnership was an example of one
the EDC would like to cultivate
with other municipalities.
“We’ve got to find ways to lift
the income levels for our residents
and for our households over there.
We want to make sure we get out
there and educate their residents on
all the programs,” he said. “We appreciate Bladensburg inviting us
in.”
Not everyone was as pleased.
Seat Pleasant Mayor and incoming President of the Prince
George’s County Municipal Association Eugene Grant complained
that the EDC presentations were
about things happening in the county generally and not tailored to the
municipalities.
“I understand that you represent Prince George’s County. But
what I was coming to hear, what I
really wanted to listen to, is the true
connection of the 27 municipalities
with the EDC. What, specifically,
can EDC do specifically for Prince
George’s County municipal corporations?” he said.
Tom Himler, deputy chief administrative officer for budget in
the Baker Administration, encouraged the other leaders to follow
Bladensburg’s example.
“We want to partner with
everybody. Reach out to us,” he
said. “We have more resources,
more, in many cases, knowledge,
because of the part-time staff (in
municipalities). We have a method
that works and we’re happy to share
it with you.”
Konrad Herling, a member of
the Greenbelt City Council, argued
that when the county as a whole
prospers, the municipalities enjoy
some benefit from that.
“We’re all here actually pursuing the best interests of our respective cities, but we’re also doing this
for our county,” he said.
Herling also offered specific
suggestions of areas the EDC
should address that are of concern
to municipal governments. They included office vacancy rates, the approvals for the green tax credit getting held up and the ability to attract
zero-waste businesses.
“I hope that in terms of attracting businesses to Prince George’s
County, that you will include environmental concerns. I think that
will be a big benefit,” he said.
Roger Rudder of Brentwood
asked about what the EDC offers to
help residents who have criminal
records connect with employment.
“The push lately has been sort
of expungement. I am wondering if
the (workforce) re-entry part of the
program, if they would consider it
for people who would have had
crimes expunged from their
records,” he said.
He also asked for help breaking down the criteria for Economic
Development Incentive Fund loans
so that it could be disseminated
more easily among the residents.
Coleman and his staff stressed
a partnership between the EDC and
the municipalities would be a twoway street.
“Inclusion goes both ways.
When you have meetings, include
us. We’d love to be invited out at
any time,” he said.
Michele Holmes, development
manager, told the story of April
Richardson, owner of DC Sweet
Potato Cakes, who used EDC resources and networking events to
successfully expand her market
share and move from the District of
Columbia into Prince George’s
County.
“It’s no secret that we want to
bring more Aprils to your municipalities- more job creators,” she
said. “It’s no secret that we want
more of her, and it’s no secret that
we want you guys to help us create
more Aprils, to invest in our
Aprils.”
District Heights man indicted in murder of ex-wife, child
By Jim Davis
UPPER MARLBORO – A 25year-old District Heights man was
indicted April 1 in an Upper Marlboro courtroom after police charged
him with murdering NeShante
Davis and her two-year-old daughter
Chloe.
Early in the morning on Feb. 2,
2016, Davis, who was a second
grade teacher for Prince George's
County Public Schools, was putting
her daughter into a child seat outside
of their townhouse in Fort Washington. Chloe’s father, Daron BoswellJohnson, who had been waiting for
Davis to come out of her residence,
approached and demanded she drop
her ongoing child support order.
Police said the two then argued,
and during the argument, Johnson
shot Davis and Chloe multiple times
– killing both of them.
Several hours after the shooting, Montgomery County police,
along with detectives from the
Prince George’s County Police Department, located Johnson at his
place of employment in Gaithersburg. Johnson agreed to be interviewed. During the interview he admitted to the two murders and told
police it was because he had been ordered by the court to pay $600 a
month in child support, according to
police.
Johnson has been indicted on
two counts of murder and two
counts of the use of a firearm during
a crime of violence.
“To kill your own child is an
unspeakable and unthinkable
crime,” said Prince George's County
State’s Attorney Angela Alsobrooks.
“We will prosecute this case aggressively to ensure that Mr. Johnson is
held fully accountable for his actions.”
Johnson remains in custody at
the Department of Corrections in
Prince George's County on a nobond status.

Enemy at the Gates: Alfred Morris
joins the Redskins’ biggest rival
By Craig Lee
@uaingotalicraig
DALLAS – Alfred Morris’ career with the Washington Redskins
came to an end two weeks ago,
leading to a fresh start with Washington’s ultimate rival – the Dallas
Cowboys.
After playing four years without missing a single game for the
Redskins, Morris signed a twoyear contract with the Cowboys on
March 22.
He and former teammate
Robert Griffin III, who signed a
two-year deal with the Cleveland
Browns, diverged at the same time.
Morris will earn $3.5 million in
salary over the course of his twoyear contract, with the possibility
of earning up to $5.5 million with
incentive money.
“We were able to find a mutually beneficial deal for both sides,”
Morris said to Dallas Cowboys reporter Lindsay Draper. “With the
pieces they have here, I think it will
definitely help propel us to that
next level. Everybody who plays
this game wants to win a Super
Bowl and I feel they have a lot of
pieces here (amongst other things)
to get us to that point.”
Morris’ rushing yards have
gradually declined each season
since entering the league in 2012.
He went from having a standout
season in 2012 with 1,613 rushing
yards to dropping down to 1,275
yards in 2013. Morris’ inaugural
season led him to break former
Washington running back Clinton
Portis’ single-season rushing
record (1,516 yards).
Morris, a two-time Pro Bowl
selection, sits three yards above the
great Walter Payton on the all-time
single-season rushing list thanks to
his 2012 season. However, from
2014 to 2015, he dropped from
1,074 rushing yards to ending his
four-year stint with the franchise
due to a career-low of 751 rushing
yards.
Cowboys running back Darren
McFadden is coming off of one of
his strongest years in the league, as
he rushed for 1,089 yards last season. The amount was the most for
the veteran since 2010 with the
Oakland Raiders (1,157). Putting
up those types of numbers is what
brings the confidence out of McFadden.
“You know, for me as a running back, I know the type of
league this is, and I know it’s hard
just to have one go-to-guy,” McFadden said. “You definitely need
another back in there. You know,
with us signing another back, it is
not something that bothers me at
all. I’m a guy who doesn’t mind
competition.”
Jerry Jones, the Cowboys’
owner, said he believes McFadden
will be the go-to offensive back for
the upcoming season, followed by
Morris and Lance Dunbar.
“He’ll be a good complement
to McFadden and be a good complement to Dunbar,” Jones said.
“We like him. Between all of them,
they’ll get some real work. Darren
will probably get the majority of the
work between the three of them.
But they’ll all get work.”
The Redskins and Cowboys rivalry hits the DMV like no other.
Some of Morris’ best performances
were against the Cowboys. Just a
year ago, Morris eclipsed the century mark against the Cowboys in a
34-23 victory. So, how are Redskins and Cowboys fans in Prince
George’s County taking to the new
deal for Morris?
“I’m happy for him to be honest. I think it’s like getting a promotion for the most part,” longtime
Redskins fan Lynette Carter said.
Yvonne and Garfield Alston, a
Cowboys and Redskins fan, respectively, are both happy about the
move. It is almost unheard of for a
Redskins and Cowboys fan to share
the same opinion, but the two
shared common ground on the outcome.
“He’ll be getting more money
right? Then I’m happy for him,”
Garfield said.
The Cowboys posted a 4-12
record last year, leaving fans to
question their future.
“I know the Cowboys needed
help,” Yvonne said. “Dependability
and durability is what I like the
most about (Morris). Since he
played so many games, he has to be
dependable.”
However, some fans aren’t too
happy to see Morris with a star on
his helmet.
“I’m so disappointed with this
news,” county resident Renee Skie
said. “We thought you were diehard, but you went to the Cowboys?”
Morris expected there to be
negative feedback.
“I know I’m probably going to
get a lot on social media, probably
like hate messages and stuff from
the Skins fans, but it’s okay,” Morris said. “Nothing against the Redskins or any of their fans, this is
what has happened for me and life
has moved on. We’ll see what happens.”

Local boxers have great night
By Ron Harris
WASHINGTON – Adrien
Broner had a rough week leading up
to his TKO victory over Ashley
Theophane at the DC Armory.
At first, police issued a warrant
for his arrest for an incident in his
hometown of Cincinnati. Then he got
stripped of his World Boxing Association belt because he weighed in .4
pounds over the 140-pound championship weight and was fined $50,000
(other reports say $100,000) for being over the limit.
With Broner winning the fight, it
means the WBA Super Lightweight
championship is vacant. D.C. is
clamoring for Lamont Peterson to
fight for that vacancy later this year.
Broner was awarded the TKO
win on a controversial stoppage by
referee Luis Pabon at 1:10 of the
ninth round. The crowd was stunned.
Theophane was shocked as well.
“I was giving Broner all he
wanted,” Theophane said.
After winning, Broner took the
mic and had some choice words for
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
“I have been disrespected by a
man I have looked up to,” Broner
said. “He gave interviews bad
mouthing me. I am a man. I came
from nothing. All I can say is Floyd
Mayweather has to come and see me.
We can spar or we can fight,
whichever he wants.”
All local fighters won their
bouts. Anthony Peterson needed 10
rounds to get by Samuel Neequaye.
The three judges scored the bout, 9793, 100-80 and 96-94.
Peterson (37-1) was disappointed he didn’t knock Neequaye out, but
liked his performance overall.
“My jab played a major part. I
was able to throw combinations off of
my good jab,” Peterson said. “Fighters lie when they say they want work
in the ring. All fighters want a knock
out as early as possible. But I have not
been in the ring in a minute and this
guy was a good, smart fighter.”
Peterson’s face showed Neequaye was a tough fighter, as he was
swollen below his left eye.
“This is boxing,” Peterson said.
“What do you expect when you take a
shower? You get wet. Getting hit is
part of boxing.”
D.C.’s Patrick Harris and Kareem Martin won their fights, while
Laurel’s Demond Nicholson (17-1)
earned an unanimous decision. Baltimore’s Gervonta Davis scored a sixth
round TKO win to improve to 15-0.

Riverdale Baptist extends winning Vernon Davis headed
streak to 14 games with 7-2 victory back to Washington
By Noah Waldron
By Craig Lee
@uaingotalicraig
UPPER MARLBORO – On
an exceedingly windy Thursday afternoon, the Riverdale Baptist
baseball team extended their winning streak to 14 games in what
came to be a sweeping victory over
the St. Stephen’s and St. Agnes
Saints.
The game was a well-fought
battle, as the Saints kept it close by
the way of solid fielding and pitching. However, the Crusaders came
up with three big runs in the bottom
of the sixth to bring the game to its
final score of 7-2.
Senior Chris Caulfield pitched
the entirety of the game for the
Crusaders and did not fail to shut
down any offense that the Saints
had to offer. He recorded six strikeouts while only allowing one hit on
the day.
“When a guy’s throwing like
that, giving you a chance to really
win a game, you need to press at
the plate,” Riverdale Baptist Head
Coach Ryan Terrill said. “We’re a
speed team so when we get on base
we can really run some bags.”
The Saints’ Will Salmon collected the team’s lone hit and drove
in leadoff batter CJ Lyons, who had
previously been hit by a pitch. Cam
Butler would then drive in Salmon
on a sacrifice fly to center. The runs
tied the game up at two in the top of
the fourth, but would turn out to be
the last glimpse of scoring the
Saints would see.
The following inning, the Crusaders put two more runs on the
board thanks to four base hits. Sergio Burgos and Justin Oakley each
singled to start things off. They
were later brought in on a fly out
from Devin Harrison and a single
from Nehemiah Wright, respectively.
Wright stole four bases in the
game, one of which was home, and
put the first run on the board in the
LANDOVER – It’s officially a
homecoming for Vernon Davis, as
he will come back to his old stomping grounds to play in front of some
familiar faces.
On March 31, Davis and the
Washington Redskins agreed on a
one-year deal worth $2.38 million,
with $1.1 million fully guaranteed.
Incentive money can tack on another
$2.1 million.
“I’m coming home, let’s do
this,” Davis said via Twitter after
signing the deal.
Growing up in the District of
Columbia, Davis graduated from
Dunbar High School in 2003. Gifted
in track and basketball, it was football that led him to three years of excellence at the University of Maryland.
Davis emerged as a dominant
tight end in college and that ultimately got him invited to the 2006
NFL draft. Drafted by the San Francisco 49ers with the sixth overall
pick in the first round, Davis was
poised to be an elite force in the
league.

Riverdale Baptistʼs Jose Rivera rounds second base in the Crusadersʼ
baseball game with St. Stephenʼs and St. Agnes on March 31. Riverdale
Baptistʼs Chris Caulfield allowed just one hit in the game and helped lead
the Crusaders to the 7-2 victory.
bottom of the third. He scored
again in the sixth and added to his
impressive stat line, which included two singles and two RBI. As a
team, the Crusaders had a total of
10 stolen bases in the game, five of
which ultimately resulted in runs.
With the score 4-2 at the end
of the fourth, Salmon tried “to keep
the game close and keep it at that
margin.”
“Unfortunately that didn’t
happen,” Salmon said. “We had a
couple of miscues on the field and
their pitcher was great all game.”
The fifth and sixth innings
were rough for the Saints, who
were put down 1-2-3 in both innings by Caulfield and some great
Riverdale Baptist fielding.
The Crusaders used three hits
and three runs in the bottom of the
sixth to extend their lead. One of
those hits was a triple from Vince
Walker, which earned him an RBI
by bringing in Burgos.
The Riverdale Baptist fielding
remained near immaculate all
game, with a singular fielding error
coming on a throw from left field.
Riverdale’s ability to make plays
halted any advances the Saints
tried to make.
Down by five runs with one
out and a runner on second in the
top of the seventh, the Saints had to
rally if they wanted any shot at
coming back. However, Riverdale
second baseman Jose Rivera dissolved any dreams the Saints might
have had after he fielded the last
two outs to bring the game to a
close.
“We wanted to play clean
baseball and eliminate mistakes
and just compete,” St. Stephen’s
and St. Agnes Head Coach Jim
Supple said. “We did that today, we
just didn’t do enough. But our expectation is to come over here and
The two-time Pro Bowl selection had his best season in 2009, as
he hauled in 965 yards on 78 receptions with a 60.3 yards-per-game average. Another productive stint came
during the 49ers’ 2013 season on the
road to Super Bowl XLVII. With an
average of 56.7 yards-per-game,
Davis finished the year with a total
of 850 yards.
Although he lost to the Baltimore Ravens in the Super Bowl that
year, Davis’ ability wasn’t in question until the following season.
With a dramatic drop off in both
yards and receptions in 2014, Davis
was traded to the Denver Broncos in
November of 2015 and eventually
earned a Super Bowl ring that February. Even though his numbers
have been on a decline, fate has
steered him back to the nation’s capital for a one-year deal and another
shot at success in the NFL.
Washington General Manager
Scot McCloughan and Davis have a
comfort level with each other. The
familiarity stems from their time in
San Francisco, when McCloughan’s
was both the Vice President of Player Personnel (2005-07) and the General Manager (2008-09).

Turkish president visits Prince George’s
County for Islamic cultural center opening
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
LANHAM – In spite of the
dreary weather, a spirited crowd still
gathered outside the Diyanet Center
to welcome the Turkish president.
Thousands of people from
across the country and world gathered in Lanham on April 2 for the
grand opening of the Diyanet Center of America, a $110 million Islamic cultural center located on
Good Luck Road. The center features a mosque, an underground
sports complex and guest homes,
and will soon be home to a Turkish
bath house and restaurant.
Although it has been operational since April 2015, the center
had a grand opening celebration to
allow Turkish President Recep Erdogan to attend.
Thousands of spectators, including many Turkish immigrants,
as well as County Executive Rushern Baker III and members of the
county council, lined the street outside the center with signs welcoming Erdogan in Turkish and English,
and then poured inside the complex
to hear him speak. Security from
both the Prince George’s County
Police Department and Turkey’s
own forces were heavily present
throughout the event.
Noel Samil, who is of Turkish
descent, drove four hours from New
Jersey with a friend because she was
excited to hear Erdogan speak. She
said the leader’s visit is a good sign
for relations between Turkey and
the United States.
“I think they are coming good
together. We have a lot of people out
here,” she said.
Joseph Gaskins, a Prince
George’s County business owner
and co-chair of the Maryland Business Clergy Partnership, attended
the ceremony to support the Turkish
and Asian communities that he
works with.
“This is great,” he said of Erdogan’s visit. “He is an ally of the
United States, for sure. It’s very
good for the U.S., period.”

Hyattsville’s 42nd Place now one-way
@candacerojo
HYATTSVILLE – It is just a
small alley between Gallatin and
Farragut streets in Hyattsville that
residents use to cut through a
maze of one-way streets.
But for the families whose
houses and garages frame 42nd
Place, it has become a serious
safety issue.
On April 5, the Hyattsville
City Council adressed the request
to alter the traffic pattern on 42nd
Place between Gallatin and Farragut to one-way southbound.
The council voted unanimously to approve the change after staff recommendations and resident input were collected weeks
before.
Although the council approved the change Monday, the
residents’ petition to change the
alley’s traffic pattern began long
before then.
The alley is open for two-way
traffic, but homeowners on the
street have often said the size of
the alley can not fully accommodate two-car-wide traffic, and with
the speed of some drivers, many
worried about accidents and the
safety of their families and property.
So they started a petition, and
with eight of the surrounding
households signed on in support,
they submitted their request to
council in late 2015. A public
hearing was held on the issue on
March 21.
Christopher Woodbridge,
who lives near the alley, said safety is the number one concern.
“The number one reason is
the safety hazard,” he said. “And I
feel there is a lot of traffic and
maybe they could do a check to
see how much traffic comes
through there, because in my opinion I see a considerable amount of
traffic coming down the alley and
a lot of them at high rates of
speed.”
Woodbridge said it is “very
scary” to sit in his yard and see a
blur of lights racing down the alley. Large trucks have also driven
across his lawn and garden trying
to make it down the narrow street.
Sally Middlebrooks uses the
alley for walking her dog and said
she would feel much safer if she
knew which way the traffic was
coming.
“The cars do go quite fast.
There’s something about an alley
that seems to give people permission. They must think there’s nobody there, nobody walking their
dog, no kids crossing right in
front,” she said.
Ted Porter, however, said he
likes a little bit of traffic to deter
crime.
“I view it as a deterrent to
ADVERTISE
crime. I’ve noticed sometimes
there is fast traffic. You’re going
to find that whether it’s one-way,
both ways, whatever. People are
people. However, I do not see an
excessive amount of traffic. I
don’t see a big issue,” Porter said.
Porter and his wife have lived
off the alley for close to 17 years
and he said he values the fact that
he can travel from both directions
to park in his own driveway. He
said he wouldn’t oppose the oneway designation if his family
could get an exemption.
“I do feel the people who park
in their alley should be able to
park in their alley and to access it
from each end of the alley,” he
said.
However, Lesley Riddle, the
city’s director of public works,
said the city is obligated, through
state laws, not to give exemptions
to one-way streets.
“If it’s one-way, then the
street has to be one-way and
everyone, residents included, has
to follow that one-way designation,” she said.
Implementation of traffic signage is expected to take 30 days. A
larger citywide, comprehensive
traffic study will be conducted later in the year. If the study finds the
street is better suited for one-way
northbound, two-way traffic or no
traffic, the recommendation will
again come before council.

school system around. I know what
to do,” he said.
Burroughs said he knows a
thing or two about school systems
as well, having served on the board
since 2008. He was elected twice
while in high school at Crossland to
sit on the board as the student member, was one of the youngest board
members ever elected when he ran
for the District 8 seat straight out of
high school, and continued on to
win his reelection in 2012.
“I am absolutely a product of
this system – a recent product of
this system – and I know first-hand
how important the decisions that
we make are and how they impact
students and our employees,” Burroughs said. “I have institutional
knowledge. I was there when Dr.
(John) Deasy was there, I was there
when Dr. (William) Hite was there,
I was there when Dr. (Alvin) Crawley was there and now I’m under
Dr. (Kevin) Maxwell. It’s extremely important to have someone there
with institutional knowledge be-
cause when you have so many new
board members you’re able to say,
‘well I was here in 2008 and this is
what happened’ or ‘we could try it
this way because it worked in
2009,” or ‘in 2011 this policy
passed and it had this impact on decisions we’re making today.’”
Burroughs, 23, said he is seeking reelection because he “loves
this county so much” and wants to
continue working toward a better
school system, a fairer school system and ultimately a more prosperous county. Burroughs is infamous
for his often-stark opposition to
Maxwell while at the dais and his
fight for equity in funding for
Southern County.
He said he will continue his
fights, advocating for special education, more accountability in the
school system and equity across the
county, and work with nonprofits to
help pay for programs the school
cannot afford.
“It’s no secret I am someone
that I don’t go along just to get
along. I will continue to fight for
what I believe is in the best interest
of the kids regardless of the consequences,” Burroughs said.
However, both Carter and Hinton think it is time for a change.
Carter, 47, taught in Prince
George’s County for five years and
served as principal at Ernest Just
Middle School where, he said, he
took the school from “priority status” to a benchmark of “yearly annual progress” in just two years.
Overall he has “turned around 30
other schools.”
However, Carter resigned from
Ernest Just partway through the
2012 school year after being placed
on indefinite leave, according to the
Washington Post, which did not report the reasoning for Carter’s dismissal, as it was a personnel matter.
Briant Coleman, the school system’s spokesperson at the time, had
said the matter did not involve children.
Carter said he wants to fight
for students by forcing accountability and by championing the causes
of the families. Carter said it is time
for a professional to take the seat on
the board and revamp school poli-
cies.
“I’m a lifelong resident of
Prince George’s County and I’m
vested in the school system. I am
turning schools for everyone else
and I did a small sample at one
school in Prince George’s County
and I’m saying ‘hey, I can do it
here,’” he said.
Hinton, 51, also wants to
champion the causes of parents and
students and wants to make sure
District 8 is getting its fair share of
resources. She said for “far too
long” the district’s needs have been
ignored or not up to par with other
districts in the county.
If elected to the board, Hinton
said she would fight for a resource
center in the southern part of the
county, smaller class sizes, the resources necessary for teachers to
teach, retention of quality teachers
and an anonymous tip line, and said
she will hold town hall meetings to
constantly gather community input
and get information back to parents.
“I want to find a way to bring
teachers into the fold and not have
them feel like they’re just here and
not part of it,” she said. “And (District 8) needs a voice that’s going to
be like ‘hey, we’re down here! Pay
attention. We need this!’ So I want
to be that voice.”
Hinton said it is time for a
county school system educator to
be on the board, but Burroughs said
the board has a lot of educators fillings its seats already.
Burroughs said, bottom line,
he has learned how to do things by
doing them and knows how to get
things done.
“As a recent graduate of our
school system, when I walk into a
school and I talk to students, it’s a
completely different conversation
than if someone older walks in and
tries to have a conversation with
them or wants to connect with them
in a way that someone from a different generation would,” he said.
Still, Carter said it is time for
someone with the “right experience” to take over the position.
“Yes, Mr. Burroughs is liked
and loved, but at this point the
schools need, the system needs, a
specialist,” he said.
Turkish president visits county for Islamic cultural center opening

Turkey for its handling of the Kurdish minority there, as well as the
government’s treatment of critics.
Erdogan, in his remarks, defended his country, speaking of efforts to combat terrorism. He also
cautioned people not to blame the
religion of Islam as a whole for the
actions of terrorist groups.
He said he was proud to see the
center, of which he is a major supporter, finally come to fruition after
20 years, with Turkish government
investment. The land on which the
center is built had been a mosque
since 1993, when the Turkish American Community Center Inc. formed
to support Turkish citizens and
Muslims, as well as the community
at large, in religious and social matters.
Gaskins said he thought the
Diyanet Center would be “a great
partner for the community.”
County Councilman Todd
Turner, who represents the area,
agreed.
“Prince George’s County is
rich with diversity and our immigrant community is an integral part
of the fabric that makes our county
great. We welcome the Diyanet
Center as a venue of peace and expect it will offer important opportunities for county residents to enhance their understanding of the
Turkish culture,” he said.
Council Vice-Chair Dannielle
Glaros said the center can help
bridge the divide between Muslims
and other residents who may not
know a lot about the religion or may
even be fearful.
“The Diyanet Center has the
potential to bridge any voids in our
understanding of different faiths
and cultures,” she said. “I encourage
residents and faith community leaders in the region to visit this cultural
center, share in its beauty, and engage in conversations of mutuality
and peace.”

Proposed Greenbelt budget funds
infrastructure, new employee
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
GREENBELT – Improving finances mean the city of Greenbelt
is ready to throw some green into
needed projects.
City Manager Michael
McLaughlin presented his proposed fiscal year 2017 (FY17) budget to the city council on March 29.
He highlighted increased revenues
and a variety of projects the city can
invest in, including infrastructure
improvements and a new full-time
environmental coordinator position.
The budget totals $27.13 million for operations and $2 million in
capital projects, without raising
property tax rates. The city is, however, proposing raising its waste
collection fee to $70 per quarter to
make up for a $25-per-ton fee the
county charges to use its recycling
facility.
McLaughlin said this is the
first time the city budget has surpassed $27 million, but added that
rising costs mean the 1.6 percent increase isn’t as substantial as it
might appear.
“In my view, I’m describing it
as essentially flat. That’s because
there were costs built in that had to
be made up between FY16 and
FY17,” he said.
But McLaughlin and the staff
found room in the budget to put renewed focus on the city’s infrastructure, much of which is approaching 25 years old. The
$850,000 allocated is “more than
double” that given in previous
years, but not enough to pay forward for future years’ projects, he
said.
“While that sounds really
good, it’s still going to be a pay-asyou-go kind of situation. But at
least it gets the city- if the city can
stick with it- to set that sort of bar,
set that sort of number for future
years,” McLaughlin said.
Mayor Pro-Tem Judith Davis
said she was happy to see those investments being made.
“I am very, very pleased to see
the greater emphasis on infrastructure, which I had been asking for
for years,” she said.
Another change from last
year’s budget is the creation of a
new environmental coordinator position, which will help the city
streamline the efforts of its various
committees dealing with environmental issues.
“I think council’s well aware
of all the positive things that that
position has accomplished and
we’d like to keep it as a permanent
position,” McLaughlin said.
The money would come from
savings realized from retirements in
the department.
Council Member Konrad Herling praised McLaughlin for the inclusion.
“One thing that I’m really
pleased also to see is the environmental coordinator, because so
much actually has been done, and it
allows that effort to keep moving
forward,” he said.
McLaughlin added that city
staff had initially wanted to go further by creating a city-wide volun-
teer coordinator position, but the
funds were not there.
“We weren’t able to find a way
to do the organization-wide volunteer coordinator,” he said. “We
thought that this was at least a start
because its track record was so
good and it’d be a shame to lose
that in the muddle.”
Council Member Leta Mach
said she appreciated McLaughlin’s
candidness about it.
“I guess all of us will have
things that, yeah, we talked about
this in the past year and it really
would be good to have that, but this
is almost a reality check here,” she
said.
Other initiatives included in
the Greenbelt budget are a wellness
program targeted to the Franklin
Park neighborhood, an analysis of
the city’s reserve funds, the launch
of a police body camera pilot, implementation of the Bus Stop Safety and Accessibility study, contributions to the Old Greenbelt Theatre for the snow day movies
program and to the Golden Age
Club for trips, and a 1.9 percent cost
of living raise for employees.
The capital budget features
money for new “Welcome to
Greenbelt” signage, road resurfacing, and repairs to the Greenbelt
Lake dam.
The dam project alone takes up
$600,000, which McLaughlin said
will likely increase once the winning bid is chosen.
The city council will hold eight
work sessions and two public hearings on the proposed FY17 budget
before voting on it on June 6.

Family crisis center to host
‘walk to end domestic violence’
@candacerojo
FORT WASHINGTON – The
Family Crisis Center of Prince
George’s County Inc. wants residents to know it is here for them.
Since June of last year, 42
people have died in domestic violence incidents throughout Maryland. Now, just four months into
2016, Prince George’s County has
already had eight deaths, according to data provided by the crisis
center.
The center is already working
hard to help families, women and
victims in need. During the last
fiscal year, it provided a safe
emergency shelter to 150 families
and served 230 individuals, but
wants to do more and wants the
community to know it is here to
help.
To gain greater visibility, to
inform the community about the
services it offers and to raise
awareness of domestic violence,
the organization is holding its inaugural Walk to End Domestic Violence, a run/walk 5K, on April 9
at the Tucker Road Community
Center Park in Fort Washington.
Sophie Ford, the executive director of The Family Crisis Center
of Prince George’s County Inc.,
said the walk grew out of an idea
from staffers who brainstormed
ways to raise awareness of the
work the organization is doing.
“With all of the fatalities that
we’ve had in the county around
this particular issue, it’s really the
perfect time for us to be having
this now,” Ford said. “This walk is
imperative because our community is in a state of crisis and we
have to come together to stop the
domestic violence epidemic.”
Ford said the crisis center is
the only 90-day maximum center
in the county that provides the level of help they adhere to. The center not only provides safety for
victims of violence, but also holds
workshops on anger prevention
for abuses.
The ultimate goal, Ford said,
is to have the victims leave the
center “fully prepared to live a life
free of abuse” and to teach people
how to navigate and negotiate
their relationships without violence.
“This is a fundraiser and with
the money that is raised we will be
expanding the programs for our
children, but more importantly it
is an awareness event,” Ford said.
“We need to let people know there
is a safe place they can call, a safe
place they can sleep.”
Registration for the walk will
begin at 8 a.m. with the race beginning at 10 a.m. There will also
be a ceremonial balloon release to
recognize victims of domestic violence and celebrate survivors.
Ford said it is important for those
who do not think they can make it
through their domestic violence
situation to see survivors who are
“on the other side” and doing well.
Natasha Brown, the founder
of 10 Blessings/10K Survivors
and a survivor of domestic vio-
lence, said it also shows victims
they don’t have to do it alone.
“The 5K Walk to End Domestic Violence, and awareness events
like it, are important because they
keep the conversation in the forefront beyond October (Domestic
Violence Month),” Brown said.
“In Prince George's County, we've
had a recent influx of fatalities due
to intimate partner violence, and
so this event will be a timely effort
that shows victims that they don't
have to suffer in silence.”
Brown said community
events like this can potentially
save lives through creating awareness and informing the public.
“There is a community here to
provide the support/services they
need, services that at one point in
my life I needed as a victim of domestic violence. Awareness
events, such as this one, could potentially save a life,” she said.
Those interested in joining the
walk
can
register
at
www.fcc5k.eventbrite.com.
“We want people to know that
even though we’re talking about a
very serious issue, we’re planning
to have a very fun day and we really want people to come out and
connect with the network of people who are really concerned about
this issue and concerned about the
community,” Ford said.

Attempt to pay college expenses spawns a growing Bowie
family business, inspires the creation of ‘heaven in a jar’
By Andrea Blackstone
@andreablackston
BOWIE - One Bowie family
has found a sweet way to help finance their children’s college education.
Jaheel and Renate Garrett,
the parents of six children between the ages of 16 and 24 years
old, wanted to try something to
help fund Tre Stanley’s college
education expenses when he began attending Bowie State University. After they explored the
idea of baking and selling homemade cake and cheesecake jars,
their side hobby led to building a
small business called Freaking
Sweet Jars.
Strawberry
Shortcake,
Strawberry Cheesecake, Banana
Pudding, Oreo Dream and other
flavors are delivered to customers
in Prince George’s County, Anne
Arundel County, Baltimore and
Virginia.
Although Jaheel and Renate
fill orders whenever customers
want their treats, they make
homemade pound cake, banana
pudding, sweet potato pies and
peach cobbler primarily during
the holidays. The company also
makes dessert jars for special occasions such as company and
birthday parties.
Freaking Sweet Jars has begun to branch out to other special
events like weddings, baby showers and parties for kids, where
they build their own jars. Periodically, Freaking Sweet Jars’ customers take photos of themselves
enjoying their treats and post
them on social media.
Jaheel said his wife is passionate about marketing their
business. However, a great deal
of teamwork helped to shape the
foundation of it, Renate explained.
“(Jaheel) started with getting
his grandmama’s (Audrey Garrett) ideas and putting that togeth-
er, and then I just started getting
some of the ideas from my mother (Vivian Stanley). My mother is
the banana pudding person. His
grandmother is the sweet potato
person. The cheesecake is ours,”
Renate said, referring to the
recipes. “We do the cheesecake.
We both just started jumping in
and doing something and making
it ours.”
They started selling the jars
after finding that people in the
family network enjoyed them.
“(Selling dessert jars) started
when we were giving it out to
friends and everything and they
would spread it to their friends.
Co-workers would buy it,” 22year-old Teshara Stanley said.
Teshara and Terrion Stanley,
24, each invested $125 to help Jaheel and Renate start the business. Teshara, who said she is
proud of her parents, helps with
deliveries and basket-making
ideas.
Renate’s father, Herbert
Stanley, purchased the couple’s
first printer for their venture. And
now Tre serves as the runner who
gets last-minute items.
Travis Stanley designs, prepares and assembles jars. Jaheel
Garrett, Jr., a Bowie High School
student, helps with preparation,
assembly and delivery. Destiny
Garrett, who attends college, previously created flyers and provided other support.
These efforts mean the family business has even earned patronage from customers who live
greater distances away, like
Shawana Nixon. The loyal
Freaking Sweet Jars fan who resides in Chesapeake, Va., prefers
to order Oreo Dream for herself,
but orders Peanut Butter Bliss for
her boyfriend. Approximately
every two months, when the
owners of Freaking Sweet Jars
are in Nixon’s area, she orders 15
dessert jars. She also shares with
her best friend but said she moni-

A dessert company called Freaking Sweet Jars was founded by a Bowie-based husband and wife team, Jaheel

jars was launched to help pay for the college education of Renateʼs son, Tre. Freaking Sweet Jars strives to
provide top customer service and sweet treats.
tors her home inventory to ensure
no one has eaten extra jars, since
the company is Maryland-based.
Nixon’s infatuation started
when Facebook recommended
the Freaking Sweet Jars business
page to her, so she decided to see
what the company had to offer.
After shipping resulted in dessert
jars that were accidently broken
in transit, Nixon said the Garretts
went out of their way to personally bring a new order to her in
Virginia. The drive took four
hours.
“If that’s not 100 percent Aplus customer service! It can’t get
any better than that,” Nixon said.
“When I actually had a chance to
try them, they were outstanding. I
mean, they were just delicious.
So from that day forward, I have
been a loyal customer.”
The Garretts recently began
selling their jars out of a shop,
utilizing a commercial kitchen.
The couple explained although
they are following up on an opportunity to open their own shop
in Baltimore, they are also open
to pursuing opportunities in other
areas.
Renate, who is an assistant
manager at a retail store, is ready
to make another big change. Her
last day is April 15. She is leaving
a 20-year career behind to focus
on building her personal business.
“It’s great for me. I’m excited about it,” Renate said. “It’s
something that will help me and
help the business and we are going to soar.”
Renate’s family supports her
decision.
Jaheel remarked that his
wife’s career change is a little
scary, but he is proud of her. The
couple’s children are willing to
pitch in to give more money if
things become financially tough.
“In order to make it in our society, you have to take some level
of risk to gain a reward,” Jaheel
said. “We believe in (Freaking
Sweet Jars) that much. We believe that family and God has our
back.”
Freaking Sweet Jars begin at
$6.95. Orders can be placed
through www.freakingsweetjars.net.

4A girls, boys win county All-Star basketball game
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
LARGO – The amazing plethora of basketball talent that Prince
George’s County has to offer was on
full display at Prince George's Community College March 30, as the best
girls from 1A/2A/3A took on the best
players from the area’s 4A schools.
The Prince George’s Sentinel
Player of the Year, Forestville’s Tyasia Moore, showcased her talents as
she finished with 10 points, seven rebounds, five blocks and three steals.
“It was just fun to get out there
and play, even though I fouled out,”
Moore said. “I appreciate the award
and for everyone thinking so highly
of me as a player. It means a lot.”
The 4A All-Stars had trouble
with the 1-3A team for the majority of
the game, but managed to take their
first lead of the game after Moore
fouled out in the second half. They
stretched the lead to seven with less
than nine minutes remaining.
Bowie’s Alexis Gordon extended the lead even further after knocking down a pair of three-pointers in
the final five minutes. The 4A AllStars went on to win, 50-34.
“It was fun for me,” Gordon
said. “We just played for fun. You can
go out and pass the ball and try to do
little tricks, but it was great energy
and I love that. It was fun.”
While the 4A All-Stars coasted
to victory, the game was more about
showcasing the area’s talent.
“It was a good experience,” said
Largo’s Chance Graham. “I haven’t
touched the court since states, but
I’ve been in the weight room and
stuff working out getting ready, but
running up and down the court – I really wasn’t fit.
“I know when I have free time
I’m going to come home and work
out with my old teammates because I
want them to win another state championship when I leave. I still love
them because that’s Largo!”
Graham’s teammate, Amel Duggan, also played in the game and
shared her thoughts on the evening.
“It was a good experience because we got to play with people that
we didn’t get to play with during the
season,” Duggan said. “I can pretty
much play with anybody and I liked
playing with them. We played well
together as a team. We were having
fun the majority of the time.”
In the final game of the night, the
area’s boys took to the floor following the girls and made sure to entertain the crowd.
The county’s best went back
and forth for most of the first half and
it wasn’t until the 4A All-Stars took a
10-point lead toward the end of the
half that the game got exciting.
Eleanor Roosevelt’s Victor
Okafor was a huge presence inside
and finished with eight points and
eight rebounds in helping his team
jump out to the early lead.
“It was pretty fun,” Okafor said.
“I mean I thought this All-Star game
was going to be chill, but the
(3A/2A/1A team) came out to compete. I knew we were going to win
the whole game, but they came back
and were really competitive. Good
players out here.”
Frederick Douglass’ Cameron
Hayes threw down two emphatic
dunks and added a layup to rally his
3-1A All-Star team and got them
back into the game, trailing 36-32 at
the break.
The second half was even more
entertaining than the first as both
teams continued to display their
skills in a back and forth tilt.
Okafor continued to assert his
size advantage by blocking shots
and cleaning up rebounds for easy
put backs. His play helped his team
jump out to a 57-50 lead with nineand-a-half minutes remaining in the
game.
Largo’s Isaiah Boggs then became a highlight reel for the 1-3A
All-Stars, as he dished and dunked
for his team and pulled them within
a point with six minutes to play.
Boggs’ teammate, Greg Boyd, hit a
three with less than five minutes to
play and gave the 1-3A All-Stars a
67-65 lead.
“It was a great experience, lots
of competition, just a great experience overall,” Boggs said. “I just
wanted to see everyone compete because I want to see everyone go to
college and be successful. So I was
trying to get as many people as I
could involved and try to go out with
a bang.”
The 4A All-Stars regained the
lead with three minutes to play as
both teams picked up the pace and
pushed hard to the finish. Boggs tied
the game with 2:10 remaining, but
Roosevelt's Delascio Dancy immediately answered with a three-point
play to make it 74-71.
Surrattsville’s Robert Middleton then tied the game up at 74 with
48.1 seconds remaining, but 4A retook the lead as Okafor made an inside layup while the 1-3A All-Stars
threw up a half court prayer that rattled. The action made for a two-point
victory for the 4A All-Stars, 76-74.
Participants in the All-Star
game included: 1-3A Girls: Jalyn
Whitlock (Douglass), DayShawn
Richardson (Crossland), Kaylin
Hobson (Crossland) and Natori Nesbit (Central); 4A Girls: Shirleah Ragin (Northwestern), Kasey Stevens
