GREENBELT – Although they
didn’t speak in rhyme, Greenbelt
residents definitely channeled Dr.
Suess’ “The Lorax” character in
speaking for the trees in their city.
Several residents testified before the Prince George’s County
Council during that body’s zoning
rewrite town hall meeting to indicate
their opposition to a proposed 25story luxury apartment building near
the Greenbelt Metro station. They
expressed concerns with the proposal, and also their fears that the
rewrite could be used to circumvent
normal rezoning processes.
Brian Almquist of the Greenbelt Advocates for Environmental
and Social Justice explained that the
Greenbelt City Council had had a
work session on April 4 with David
Hillman of Southern Management,
owner of Lakeside North, about an

Laurel Regional Hospital to remain open
By Katishi Maake
Special to The Sentinel
LAUREL – The yearlong
struggle to retain full-service operation of north Prince George’s County’s Laurel Regional Hospital
(LRH) came to an end Monday with
the announcement that the University of Maryland Medical System
(UMMS) will now oversee the hospital’s operations.
The agreement will keep all inpatient services offered at LRH operational through Dec. 31, 2017,
and create a Strategic Planning
Workgroup (SPWG) tasked with
gathering community input and recommendations on how to improve
the services offered at the hosptial.
The plan’s execution remains
dependent on Dimensions receiving
a Certificate of Need from the
Maryland Health Care Commission
that authorizes the construction of
the new regional medical center in
Largo.
That decision will be made by
the end of the year.
“Laurel Hospital is not going to
close,” said State Sen. Jim Ros-

keeping the hospital open, and this decision will do just that through at
least 2017.
apepe (D-21), who, along with
many other displeased elected offi-
cials and residents, worked for more
than a year to save LRH. “The Uni-
versity of Maryland Medical System is taking over Laurel Regional
Hospital. They have committed to
doing it promptly.”
UMMS chief operating officer
Robert Chrencik said the system
will improve and expand the services offered at LRH while rebranding the hospital to attract a larger
market of employees using the work
group’s recommendations along
with its own set of vast resources as
the largest hospital system in the
state.
“It’s remarkable that a county
with 900,000 people would not have
a world-class medical center. We’re
excited about creating one,” he said.
“Although we haven’t yet defined
exactly what the future of the Laurel
healthcare campus would look like,
I can promise you when it is redesigned, it’s going to be redesigned
through a process that is going to be
very community-focused.”

GREENBELT – Going from
1,000 printed pages to real-time, interactive voting technology, Prince
George’s County is updating not
just its zoning ordinance, but the
way residents interact with it, especially during the rewrite process.
The county council joined
with the Prince George’s County
Planning Department at Eleanor
Roosevelt High School in Greenbelt to present a town hall meeting
on July 12 in an effort to educate
residents about the proposed ordinance and the rewrite process, as
well as get their input on the regulations before they are finalized.
“For this process to work, we
will need your candid feedback
along the way, specifically about
the changes that have been pro-
posed in each module. We need
your insight on what works well,
what needs to be changed, and
what requires elimination,” said
Council Chair Derrick Davis.
Before the public comment
period, planning department staff,
led by Chief of the Countywide
Planning Division Derick Berlage,
briefly explained why the ordinance is being redone and some of
the proposed changes.
The overall goal is to create an
ordinance that is easier for the public to understand, easier for developers to navigate, and is more inline with the county’s 21st century
priorities, Berlage said. The ordinance will go from more than
1,000 pages long with 74 zones to
about 40 zones, and will feature
graphics and images for increased

Living Wage Looks Good
Each week The Sentinel visits
a memorable story from its
archives.
Attempts at giving government
contracted employees higher living
wages in Montgomery County fell
short last Tuesday, but still look
promising in Prince George’s County.
The bill that would have forced
businesses to pay their employees
more to do business with Montgomery County, failed by 2 votes on
last Tuesday night. The same type of
living wage bill is estimated to be up
for a vote by the end of this month
according to staffers at Councilman
Peter Shapiro’s office, who is spearheading the hike pay for Prince
George’s County.
Shapiro said he hopes that
working with companies that pay
current employees below poverty
wages like Montgomery County
failed to last week will provide larger checks to county contracted workers. Shapiro explains that Montgomery’s County’s bill which failed
by a 5-3 vote would have done essentially the same as the one now
proposed in Prince George’s County,
but it had the fatal flaw of not getting the perspective of the businesses
that have to write the check.
“One of the things that I am trying to do is make sure the bill has the
support of the non-profit and community and the chamber of commerce,” Shapiro said. As long as we
agree that the county government
should not subsidize poverty-level

McDonald's DMV sends local teen to the
Essence Festival
This year, the McDonald’s Family
Restaurants of greater Washington, D.C. sent
Brelynn Black, a patient of the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile, and her mother on an allexpenses paid trip to the Essence Festival in
New Orleans to serve as an on-site social media correspondent for McDonald’s DMV.
The Care Mobile is the oldest continuous
mobile clinic in D.C. It has removed barriers to
health care for children and families living in
or near poverty by delivering health and wellness services directly in their community at no
direct cost to parents or caregivers. The Care
Mobile has served more than 7,000 children
and adolescents in more than 56,000 patient
visits in 24 years and has a patient mix of 93
percent African American, 96 percent covered
by Medicaid.
Nineteen-year-old Brelynn is a recent

have a living wage bill that we can
all be proud of.”
Mike Lawson who is a staff
member for Councilman Shapiro
explained the councilman has even
gone through great lengths to see
that the living wage bill remains unfinished.
“We are putting it out in an unfinished form because we want people to engage us in this process,” said
Lawson.
Norman Carter who is the president of the Prince George’s County
Chamber of Commerce said that he
thinks Shapiro’s attempts to work
with contracting companies are noble.

Hair Cuttery to support thousands of
underprivileged children with
back-to-school Share-A-Haircut program
Hair Cuttery, the largest family-owned
and operated chain of hair salons in the country, will be donating back-to-school haircuts to
children who need it most this summer. From
August 1-15, for every child up to age 18 who
purchases a haircut at one of Hair Cuttery’s
nearly 900 salons, one free haircut certificate
will be donated to a disadvantaged child in the
community.
This summer, Hair Cuttery is aiming to
donate thousands of free haircut certificates
ahead of the new school year. Certificates will
be distributed with the help of more than 100

in communities across the country.
council member is willing to sit
down and discuss this…It is a complex issue and we have to look at all
the ramifications,” said Carter.
According to Shapiro the census bureau considers any four-member household that makes less than
$19,000 a year below the poverty
line. While the department of Health
and Human Services considers the
same four-member household with
less than $16,700 worth of income
under the poverty level.
“The basic premise that I am
operating with is that the county
government should not be using its
resources to subsidize jobs that keep
people in poverty. It doesn’t make
sense,” said Shapiro.
So why all the talk about in-
Since 1999, the Share-A-Haircut program

domestic violence this past spring.
Gov. Larry Hogan announces permanent
vehicle registration for disabled
Maryland veterans
Gov. Larry Hogan announced that the
Maryland Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) will begin
issuing permanent vehicle registration cards
and license plate stickers to Maryland veterans
who qualify as 100 percent disabled. While the
stickers and registration cards have been free
to qualified veterans for several years, this allows qualified veterans to skip the trip to the
MVA to renew their registration. This initiative
was developed by employees at the MVA and
is part of Hogan’s initiative to improve customer service across Maryland state agencies.
Qualified veterans do not need to take
creasing living wages now?
According to Lawson, “All
across the country there have been
wage campaigns dating back to Baltimore in 1992…The time has come
for a change in the governments support of poverty wages.”
When asked how much more
money businesses would have to
pay to do business in Prince
George’s County Lawson would not
clarify.
“We can add on to a contract
that a business must pay a certain
amount within whatever rate range
we determine to be acceptable,”
Lawson said. “It is not just about
some kind of political campaign..
We really want to do this and make
this thing work the right way.”
any action to enjoy this new benefit. The
MVA will begin mailing the permanent registration cards and stickers on Aug. 1 to approximately 5,200 Maryland veterans who qualify
as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Prior to this initiative, qualified
Maryland veterans had to renew their vehicle
registration, free of charge, every two years at
an MVA office.

Residents of Greenbelt oppose
speculative high rise development
From “Greenbelt” page 1
idea Hillman had to build a luxury
high rise apartment building on an
adjacent parcel also owned by Hillman. The parcel is currently densely wooded, and some community
members stand opposed to this loss
of trees.
Sue Stern held a “Keep it
Wooded” sign throughout the meeting, and used it to punctuate her testimony.
“Please maintain the historic
protection of the wooded area surrounding Greenbelt as the Metro
area is developed,” she said.
Paul Downs had the same message.
“What I value in historical, old
Greenbelt is its sense of continuity,
that things were decided a long time
ago, and we like it. And this 25-story luxury high rise would take
down the elder trees of our green
space. I cannot imagine anything
more contrary to what Greenbelt is
about, and our history and who we
are,” he said.
Almquist said residents had
come to the town hall meeting because they were concerned that given the timing, the developer might
try to use the zoning rewrite to rezone the wooded parcel to allow for
the high rise to be built.
“We fear, in the example, that
Southern Management may be
seeking to bypass the normal rezoning process altogether by obtaining
special treatment, perhaps under
the ongoing zoning ordinance
rewrite,” he said.
He said he wanted reassurances that the zoning rewrite
process would not be used to rezone
individual properties. MarylandNational Capital Park and Planning
staff has repeatedly maintained it
will not.
But Derick Berlage, chief of
the countywide planning division,
said some county parcels would, in
fact, be rezoned. While for most of
the county, the rezoning is only
technical – meaning the name of the
zone will change but the permitted
uses will remain the same – certain
parts of the county would see actual
rezoning after the new ordinance
introduces new zones that do not
currently exist.
“There will be some rezoning
that will be necessary. About 10
percent of the county – and it’s
mostly around transit stations,
mixed use areas and commercial areas – the county council will need
to decide which of the new zones to
apply, and that will be a rezoning,”
he said.
The council is projected to address these rezonings in October
2017, Berlage said.
Councilman Todd Turner, who
represents Greenbelt, acknowledged the information was potentially different from what he and
others had heard before.
Turner did say, however, that
the scope of the proposed development would mean it would have to
go through the typical zone rewrite
process, which includes public outreach, citizen comments and more
transparency.
“I would still believe it’s in the
best interest to go through that
process which is part of our current
code right now,” he said. “Based on
the conversations that I’ve had, I’d
say that’s such a project we’d have
to go through our normal zoning
process.
“I think, from what I understand, (the developer’s) interest is
depending on what happens with
the Greenbelt Metro and if the FBI
goes there. I think the whole thing
is more speculative at this point.”
Greenbelt Mayor Emmett Jordan also stressed that the proposal
is still in the earliest stages. It was
only discussed with the city council
during one briefing.
“I don’t think I want to get
pulled into a conflict more than it
already is,” he said. “People come
with ideas about different things
and it’s (the) council’s job to listen.
We try to be able to talk and dialogue. I don’t want to be in a position to reject ideas before they’re
fully formed.”
Jordan said even if this particular project, at 25 stories, might be “a
non-starter,” he believes the Metro
station area does need to be developed as the city and the region
grows.
“It’s a dead zone there,” he
said.
Citizens like Almquist and the
others should be commended for
their passion, Jordan acknowledged.
And the citizens say they are
not done fighting for the forest.
Almquist asked Berlage and the
other staffers at the town hall about
the possibility of putting a neighborhood conservation overlay on
historic Greenbelt as another way
to help maintain the character and
features of the community.
“That’s an excellent suggestion. We’re working toward seeing
that that happens,” Berlage said.

Laurel hospital to remain open thanks to UMD partnership
From “Hospital” page 1
marily outpatient facility that included 24-hour ambulatory services
and only 30 inpatient beds, without
informing the public prior to the announcement.
Dimensions said maintaining
full-service operations did not make
sense financially and the hospital
had been losing millions of dollars
over the years.
In the time since, more than 100
jobs have been cut and departments
such as the maternity ward and child
health unit have been closed. The
SPWG will decide whether these,
and other departments, will eventually return to the hospital.
The SPWG, in consultation
with elected officials, is tasked with
finding the best services that can improve healthcare delivery to Laurel’s
citizens.
More specifically, the workgroup will review a workforce
analysis and make recommendations that include, but are not limited
to, assessment of staffing levels in
dietary services, environmental sciences and facility maintenance.
Additionally, in the event of job
losses that may occur during this period, the group will review opportunities for alternative placement and
re-training of employees in an effort
to improve patient safety and quality
of care at LRH.
Laurel Mayor Craig Moe and
UMMS Surgeon-in-Chief Dr.
Stephen Bartlett will co-chair the
workgroup and encourage any and
all residents invested in the hospital’s future to participate.
“Many of you here today took
buses to Annapolis, attended community meetings, sent letters (and)
made phone calls, all to save Laurel
Regional Hospital,” Moe said to a
crowd of Laurel residents. “All of
those efforts got us to where we are
today, but we are not done.”
At the outset of the controversy,
many took issue with not only how
Dimensions came to its decision,
with little to no outside consultation,
but also with the fact that removing
inpatient services meant longer
commutes for those who were in the
midst of an emergency.
County Councilwoman Mary
Lehman said this issue has been her
longest and most arduous in six
years on the council. And it became
much more personalized when she
received a call from a constituent
whose son suffers from severe and
frequent asthma attacks and might
not make it to a farther hospital.
While hoping inpatient beds remain at LRH, Lehman also stressed
the importance of maintaining psychiatric care for hospital visitors.
“There are a lot of people that
pass through this area because it is at
the nexus of four counties, and it is
halfway between Baltimore and
Washington,” she said. “A lot of people pass through and they are in need
of psychiatric services. They need
compassion; they need care. I believe
they need beds and I’m hopeful that
we’ll be able to keep those.”
Under the agreement, all Di-
mensions facilities including LRH
will become UMMS affiliates.
County Executive Rushern Baker
III stressed the agreement is a partnership and not a termination of the
county’s relationship with Dimensions.
Baker said county’s new relationship with UMMS, in conjunction with the opening of the regional
medical center, will forge the way
for modernized and streamlined
healthcare the county.
“I want to thank Bob Chrencik
and his team for working with us
and being committed to making
sure, as we move forward, we provide the best healthcare we can, not
only for Laurel and the north part of
Prince George’s County, but all
Prince George’s County.”
Community engaged with zoning rewrite through town hall

comprehensibility.
The planning department has
contracted with Clarion Associates
to design the ordinance, and
Berlage said they have developed a
set of five goals for the new zoning
rules to meet, including ease of understanding, protecting community
and natural resources, providing
tools for development and ensuring
the development coming to the
county is quality development.
“You, and we and the county
council, should measure the work
product from that consultant, decide
whether it is right for us or not,
based on whether or not the consultant addresses all five goals,” he
said.
One of the new tools proposed
by Clarion is the Neighborhood
Compatibility Standards, which
would apply when a developer proposes building something next to a
single-family residential neighborhood that isn’t another such neighborhood. It would regulate distance
from the neighborhood, building
heights, noise standards and other
factors.
“The new zoning ordinance
also needs to protect things that
shouldn’t change, like your neighborhood. We don’t want new development that happens in the
county to compromise the quality
of life in the neighborhood you live
in,” Berlage said.
During their testimony, residents cited those standards as one
of the positives about the ordinance
drafts.
Abby Kiesa, a homeowner in
Riverdale for seven years, said the
requirement for the developer to do
community outreach makes sense.
“That would have reduced a
lot of friction in Riverdale had developers started to do that. So if
that can happen that would be
amazing,” she said.
Other residents presented their
ideas for tweaks or additions to the
new ordinance.
Bill Orleans of Greenbelt said
he felt the transit-oriented development in New Carrollton is not transit-oriented enough, with its single-
pad sites.
“I would like to think that, at
least after this ordinance is adopted, as we envision more usefullydeveloped transit-oriented development near our Metro stations,
that we would discourage the
building of individual buildings on
its own pad site with all that parking and instead see that we have
continuous buildings where the
parking is necessary underground,”
he said.
Andrea Hawvermale, a Montgomery County resident who
works with various community associations in Prince George’s, said
parking is a problem in many areas
with high-density apartment buildings, like College Park, and worried the new ordinance’s restrictions on impervious surfaces would
worsen the issue.
“There are certain areas of the
county that already, the percentage
of impervious surface – or let’s just
call it parking for right now – for
all the high-rises is already too low
in some areas. There’s just way too
many people getting creative and
parking in the neighborhoods,” she
said. “It concerns me that there’s a
blanket percentage that’s going to
be lowered throughout the county.”
Several residents also expressed their interest in raising
chickens and in home beekeeping
and explained how the current zoning ordinance restricts their ability
to pursue these hobbies.
“The current standard limits
beekeeping to agricultural zones,”
said Jeff Forbes, president of
Bowie/Upper Marlboro Beekeepers Association (BUMBA). “Few
BUMBA members have such a
large amount of land. The proposed
land use regulations would continue to prohibit beekeeping in residential zones. This proposed prohibition runs counter to the current
practice on reducing restrictions
and encouraging beekeeping.”
He said beekeeping is helpful
for both food crops and backyard
gardens and serves an important
environmental role, especially given the massive declines in honeybee populations across the United
States. Forbes said neighboring ju-
risdictions have no zoning restrictions on apiarists.
“Honeybees can be good
neighbors in residential areas.
BUMBA strongly encourages
Prince George’s County to adopt
Montgomery County’s model,” he
said.
Council Vice-Chair Dannielle
Glaros said she had recently begun
hearing about this issue from her
constituents as well.
“We have a bunch of beekeepers throughout my district. I was a
little surprised to hear that beekeeping today is limited,” she said.
Chad Williams, project manager in the Countywide Planning
Division, explained that revisions
to certain agriculture definitions
had the side effect of severely limiting areas where bees can be kept,
restricting them to lower-density
zones in rural areas.
He and Berlage said the issue
is on their radar as well.
“We’ve heard that message
and we will definitely go back to
the consultants to find out what the
other options are,” Berlage said.

MODIFICATION TO THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FOR
HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: FY 2017
The modification to the Prince George's County Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development: Fiscal Year (FY)
2017 is now available for the general public.
The Annual Action Plan (“AAP”) for Housing and Community Development is a comprehensive strategy that describes actions, activities, and programs that will take place during the County's FY 2017 to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in
the County's FY 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan. The AAP also serves as an application for Federal funds: Community Development
Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME).
On May 10, 2016, the County Council and County Executive adopted and approved Council Resolution (CR-16-2016): FY 2017 Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development. The AAP was based on U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD's) Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 (CFY 2017) formula allocations for grantees and the estimated HOME Voluntary
Grant Reduction Plan ($1,016,981.00.)
On June 8, 2016, due to an administrative adjustment, HUD Headquarters revised the initial FFY 2016 (CFY 2017) HOME allocations
that were sent to grantees earlier in the year. The County's HOME funds were increased by $8,238.00. At that time, HUD also informed DHCD that the County's initial HOME entitlement funds reflected the Voluntary Grant Reduction Plan ($522,919.00) therefore the AAP must be modified to be consistent with the final HOME Program entitlement allocation ($1,548,138.00) and applicable
local jurisdiction amendment requirements.
The County's FY 2017 AAP Budget Summary in CR-16-2016 and AAP were modified to reflect the increase of the HOME funding
allocation listed below.

PUBLIC HEARING
NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
Monday, August 1, 2016 7:00 p.m.
Concerning Proposed Issuance of Refunding Bonds
Relating to the University Town Center
Special Taxing District in City of Hyattsville
The City Council (the “City Council”) of City of Hyattsville
(the “City”) will conduct a Public Hearing on Monday, August
1, 2016 at 7:00 p.m., to discuss the proposed issuance of revenue
bonds, notes or other similar instruments from time to time in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed $17,750,000 and bearing interest at a rate or rates not to exceed 5.00% per annum (the
“Refunding Bonds”) to refund in whole or in part the outstanding
City of Hyattsville Special Obligation Bonds (University Town
Center Project), Series 2004 (the “2004 Bonds”). The 2004
Bonds were issued pursuant to Section 44A of Article 23A of
the Annotated Code of Maryland (as since re-codified, the “Act”)
to finance or reimburse the cost of (i) certain infrastructure improvements within or outside the University Town Center Special
Taxing District (the “District”) established by Hyattsville Resolution 2004-02 of the City Council (the “Designation Resolution”),
(ii) establishing a debt service reserve fund, (iii) issuance costs of
the 2004 Bonds, and (iv) other expenses permitted by the Act.
The Series 2004 Bonds are currently outstanding in the aggregate
principal amount of approximately $16,640,000. Any Refunding
Bonds shall be issued pursuant to the Act and any other applicable Maryland law. Proceeds of the Refunding Bonds may be
applied to fund a debt service reserve fund, pay issuance costs of
the Refunding Bonds and fund other costs permitted by the Act,
in addition to refunding the outstanding 2004 Bonds in whole
or in part. It is anticipated that any Refunding Bonds will be
structured to achieve debt service savings, although applicable
law allows Refunding Bonds to be issued for other purposes.
A proposed resolution authorizing the Refunding Bonds was
scheduled for introduction before the City Council on July 18,
2016.
The District encompasses approximately 23.3693 acres of land
and is generally bordered by Toledo Road on the north, Democracy Avenue (originally known as Streets E and H) and certain
property adjacent thereto on the east, East-West Highway (Maryland Route 410) on the south and Belcrest Road on the west.
The Series 2004 Bonds are payable from certain special taxes
(collectively, the “Special Tax”) levied on property within the
District pursuant to the City of Hyattsville, Maryland University
JULY 21, 2016
PUBLIC HEARING
Town Center Special Taxing District Rate and Method of Apportionment of Special Taxes (the “Rate and Method”) adopted and
approved pursuant to Hyattsville Resolution 2004-03 of the City
Council (the “2004 Bond Resolution”). The Rate and Method
provides that the Special Tax shall continue to be computed,
imposed, levied and collected on real property within the District
in connection with any bonds (within the meaning of the Act)
issued to refund the Series 2004 Bonds. The Special Tax has
been, and will continue to be, collected and secured in the same
manner as general ad valorem taxes, unless otherwise provided
in the 2004 Bond Resolution and the Rate and Method, and has
been, and will continue to be, subject to the same penalties and
the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delinquency as is provided for general ad valorem taxes with respect
to any Refunding Bonds and any Series 2004 Bonds remaining
outstanding. In connection with authorizing the Refunding
Bonds, the City does not intend to amend the Rate and Method to
increase the maximum Special Tax provided for thereunder.
Any Refunding Bonds issued by the City pursuant to the proposed resolution shall never constitute a general obligation
debt of or a pledge of the City's full faith and credit or taxing
powers. The only funds the City will be obligated to use to
make payment on any Refunding Bonds will be those that
result from the Special Tax levied on and collected from
property in the District.
Proceeds of collected Special Taxes will be deposited in the
special fund created pursuant to the Designation Resolution and
applied to pay debt service on any Refunding Bonds and any
2004 Bonds remaining outstanding, to replenish any debt service
reserve fund and for any other purpose relating to the ongoing
expenses of or security for any Refunding Bonds and any 2004
Bonds remaining outstanding.
There will be opportunity for discussion of the details of the
proposed Refunding Bonds at the Public Hearing.
The proposed resolution may be passed (i) as introduced or (ii) as
amended, either at the City Council meeting held on the same
day as and following the public hearing or at a subsequent City
Council meeting. Copies of the proposed resolution may be
obtained by contacting Laura Reams, City Clerk, as indicated
below or by viewing the agenda packet for the applicable meeting at www.hyattsville.org/councilagendas.
The Public Hearing will be held at the Hyattsville Municipal
Building (4310 Gallatin Street) in the third floor Council
Chambers. Public testimony is encouraged. This hearing will be
broadcast live on cable channels 71 (Comcast) and 12 (Verizon).
Questions on this Public Hearing or requests regarding special
accommodations may be directed to Laura Reams, City Clerk,

Summer League Basketball: Championship Weekend
By Traevon Benjamin
@GOATEnterprises
Team Takeover EYBL 17u rallies
late to beat The District 17u
In a matchup that featured the
top AAU programs in Maryland,
The District took on Team Takeover
on July 16. The game was close
through the entire first half as The
District led by three going into halftime.
In the beginning of the second
half, DJ Harvey came out for
Takeover and connected on a threepointer and a pull up jumper in transition. Takeover eventually took a
timeout with 11:33 left in the second
half as they were down 45-40.
“The District came out ready
and with energy,” said Takeover’s
Luke Garza. “We did not, and they
were able to be in a close game with
us. We kind of woke up in the second half and were able to handle
them and get the victory.”
Takeover took a 57-52 lead
with three minutes left as Harvey
connected on a bucket and one play.
The District, however, kept its composure. Rising senior Denmark Slay
kept his team in the game with his
shooting ability and knocked down
two big-time threes late in the second half.
Garza turned the ball over in
transition with 40 seconds remaining and The District regained possession. However, with 20 seconds
remaining, it couldn’t connect for
the win. Takeover took the game 6056.
“The game versus Takeover
was awesome,” said Jake Khun of
The District. “We knew what we
were getting into going into the
game with all their talent, but we
wanted to shock the area. We had a
chance because we hit the shots we
needed to, but down the stretch didn’t do enough of the little things to
finish the job. But overall it was an
awesome environment and a great
game.”
Orlina knocks down free throws
in clutch for Team Melo 17u
Team Melo led Team Takeover
17-14 with eight minutes left in the
first half, as Chris Orlina was hot
early after he knocked down backto-back three balls and connected
on good looks at the rim.
Another big time prospect in
this game was Darryl Morsell of
Takeover, who has received offers
from several Division I schools.
Morsell took off from nearly the
free throw line for a one-handed
throw down late in the first half.
At the half, Team Melo led
Team Takeover by two. Melo rising
senior De’Vondre Perry played exceptionally well throughout the first
half by finishing strong at the rim.
Coming out of halftime, Team
Melo was rolling by knocking down
shots and connecting on everything
at the rim.
The game remained close
throughout the second half with
1:42 remaining in the game, Team
Melo led 60-59. Perry came down
the lane with a throw down to extend the lead to 62-59 with 1:26 left
on the clock.
The backcourt of Team
Takeover, featuring Jacob Long,
Terrence Lewis and Kaleaf Tate was
incredible to watch. They were big
time scorers, as Lewis finished the
game with 15 points and six rebounds. Tate finished with 16
points, while Long finished with
nine.
In the final minute, Tate went
to the line for Takeover to try and
nail a pair of free throws but could-
n’t connect. Team Melo then took
possession but had an unlawful
turnover as Takeover regained possession. Long knocked down a deep
three-pointer to narrow Takeover’s
deficit to one, but that was when Orlina knocked down a pair of free
throws to seal the game and give
Team Melo the 68-66 victory over
Team Takeover.
Orlina finished with 19 points,
including the big free throws to
close regulation. Morsell finished
the game with 15 points and five rebounds. Perry had 14 points.
“I think we did a pretty good
job against Team Melo,” Long said.
“We just needed to capitalize on
more trips down the stretch and we
could have won that game, but overall we did a good job,”
Morsell agreed.
“We didn’t really play well,” he
said. “We missed a couple of players, but we got the win and that’s all
that really matters. I look forward to
going to Vegas next week, getting
some wins out there, coming back
and winning a high school championship.”
Team Takeover 16u wins Summer Takeover Championship
Takeover and Team Melo were
pretty much back-and-forth early
on. Rising sophomore Anthony
Harris of Takeover was off to a great
start after he knocked down a three
ball and attacked the rim strong.
“We had a great start going up
7-0, then we got comfortable and we
let them get easy buckets and get the
lead on us,” said Takeover’s Myles
Dread. “When we picked it up on
defense and attacked the rim on offense we came back and eventually
tied the game up. We went into
overtime and took control and never
looked back.”
On the other side, Wynston
Tabbs of Melo was playing aggressive on offense. Teammate Noah
Locke had a strong game early on as
well.
Both teams were trading baskets towards the end of the first half.
Harris was on fire from the threepoint line, going 3-for-3. Dread, a
Penn State commit, had the hot
hand as well, connecting on backto-back threes going into intermission.
Harris finished the first half
with 17 points. For Team Melo,
Tabbs finished the first half with 11
points.
Harris came out of halftime and
picked up right where he left off as
he connected on a three ball.
Takeover took a 39-36 lead following a basket by 6-foot-10 Jalen
Smith. Smith, who was coming
alive in the second half, hit three
back-to-back buckets inside the
paint to extend their lead over Team
Melo 48-43. With six minutes left in
the game, Locke went down with an
injury and came out of the game.
Team Melo then took a 50-45 lead
minutes later.
With 2:27 remaining, Team
Melo took a 56-53 lead.
Dread knocked down a threepointer to tie the game at 58 with 50
seconds left. Team Melo turned the
ball over on a drive to the rim and
Takeover regained possession with
five seconds left on the clock.
Xavier Johnson took the ball and
couldn’t connect on the Hail Mary
shot at the end of regulation.
In the final minute of overtime,
Team Melo played the foul game and
sent Brandon Slater to the line with
45 seconds left. Slater knocked down
his free throws as Team Takeover
came away with the 69-58 win.
Slater finished the game with
13 points, while Harris finished
with 21 points for Team Takeover.
For Team Melo, Locke and Tabbs
finish with 17 each.
“It was a great game, both of us
fought hard, but we as a whole when
it came down to it, we knew what
we had to do and did it,” Slater said.
“It was high energy and every play
was exciting.”
Team Takeover EYBL 17u takes
Summer Takeover Title
To end a day of basketball at
the Summer Takeover tournament,
Team Melo faced Team Takeover in
the championship.
Chris Orlina picked up where
he left off on Saturday in an outstanding performance for Team
Melo. Still, Team Takeover led
Team Melo 22-16 with seven minutes left in the first half.
Miami commit Chris Lykes
played well for Takeover with three
early three-pointers. DJ Harvey also
got hot from the arc and connected
on back-to-back shots towards the
end of the first half.
At the half, Takeover led Team
Melo 39-26. Harvey and Lykes
were clicking on all cylinders in the
first half, especially from the threepoint line. Meanwhile, Team Melo
star Darryl Morsell was struggling
early on.
“We were just drained,”
Morsell said. “We had seven bodies
and just finished a dog fight with
Team Final, but we are good. We
will regroup for Vegas.”
In the second half, it was pretty
much the Jelani Williams show.
Williams of Team Takeover played
well all game with his offensive and
defensive abilities by getting to the
rim and jumping into passing lanes.
Team Takeover went on to defeat Team Melo, 66-49.

Baysox win on Sunday, take series versus Richmond
By Shawn McFarland
Managing Editor
BOWIE – The Bowie Baysox
had everything working Sunday
afternoon against the Richmond
Flying Squirrels.
Their bats were hitting, their
arms were pitching well, and
their legs were churning out runs
and tracking down outs.
Bowie's offense came alive
to the tune of six runs on 14 hits,
while the team's pitching staff led by starter David Hess - limited the Squirrels to just two runs
(one earned) on three hits en
route to a 6-2 victory. What was
supposed to be a four-game series
turned into a three-game set following Saturday's rainout, but
with that the Baysox took two of
three to win their first series of
the month.
"I think it was a mentality
difference," said Hess, who finished with six strikeouts and two
walks in six innings of work. "I
just went out there and was attacking guys. The defense did a
great job. The outfielders tracked
some balls down and it was a
good team win."
Richmond starter Tyler
Beede seemed to have Bowie's
number coming into the game. In
his previous three starts against
the Baysox, Beede, who was selected as an Eastern League AllStar this year, was 3-0 with a 2.36
ERA.
That all changed early, as
Bowie tagged him for four runs in
the first two innings. Joey Terdoslavich and Henry Urrutia had
consecutive RBI singles in the
first, while Garabez Rosa plated
another on a sacrifice fly two batters later. Chance Sisco then
knocked in another run on a single in the second.
Bowie added two more runs
in the fourth with the help of two
Richmond errors. Terdoslavich
picked up his second RBI, while
Drew Dosch scored on an error.
"We weren't that aware of the

games in the team’s 6-2 win.
numbers (Beede) had against us,"
said leadoff man Julio Borbon,
who went 3-for-5 to extend his
hitting streak to 10 games.
"Knowing we had faced him before, we had a level of comfort in
terms of knowing what we had
seen in the past. We were able to
trust what we have been doing
and I think that's what it came
down to.
"We have been swinging the
bat well. We have quite a few
guys who are hitting well, so I
think it carried over to today.
They say hitting is contagious.
We have a couple guys swinging
well and everybody is getting on
a roll."
Meanwhile, Hess was deal-
ing. Hess, who had a subpar 3-9
record with a 5.63 ERA entering
the day, allowed just one baserunner through the first four innings.
Hess ran into some trouble in
the fifth. After getting the first
man to fly out to center, he allowed a walk and his only hit of
the game to put runners on. A run
eventually scored on an error, but
Hess was able to work his way
out of the inning without allowing further damage. In the end, he
lowered his ERA by nearly a half
a run with his performance.
"I think the mentality - just
going right at guys - I am a guy
who likes his fastball and I am
going to attack hitters," Hess
said. "I was able to throw my
breaking ball when I wanted to
and where I wanted to. I was also
able to mix in my changeup a little bit as well."
Michael Zouzalik relieved
Hess in the seventh and faced
only seven batters in two innings.
Bobby Bundy came in for the
ninth and allowed a run on two
hits before striking out the last
two batters to end the game.
Sisco (two singles, double)
and Urrutia (three singles) each
had three hits in the game. However, no one has been as hot as
Borbon.
During his 10-game hitting
streak, Borbon is batting .488
(21-of-43) and has seven multihit games during that span. The
speedy centerfielder has also hit
safely in 18 of the last 20 games
as of Monday and has one of the
lowest strikeout-to-plate appearance ratios in the league.
"I have been using the whole
field and staying through the
baseball," Borbon said. "I am
trusting what I am seeing, which I
think is bigger than anything
physical when it comes to hitting.
I think I have been getting back to
those basics - the things I have
done in the past - and it has
helped me succeed."
Bowie (40-52) will travel to
Binghamton for a three-game series starting Monday. The next
home game will be on July 21
versus Erie.

District Council approves Clinton Wal-Mart expansion
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
UPPER MARLBORO – Citizens rallying outside the County Administration Building Monday
shouted “Prince George’s Deserves
Better,” but they don’t feel they received it.
A variety of community groups
and advocacy organizations came
together on July 18 to protest the
proposed expansion of the Wal-Mart
at Woodyard Crossing Shopping
Center in Clinton before the District
Council’s hearing and vote on the
matter. Despite of their presence, the
council voted 8-0 to overturn the
planning board and the Zoning
Hearing Examiner’s decisions to
deny the company’s request. As a result of the vote, the Wal-Mart will be
allowed to expand to an additional
half acre of land and add approximately 37,000 square feet to the
store.

Protesters came out to the County Administration Building on Monday morning to make their voices and
disapproval about the expansion of the Wal-Mart in Clinton heard. Despite the citizens’ protests, the District
Council voted 8-0 to approve Wal-Mart’s 37,000 square foot expansion.
sure in the wake of the vote.
“The Zoning Hearing Examiner
and the People’s Zoning Counsel
both clearly laid out that there is absolutely no legal justification to allow this Wal-Mart expansion to go
forward,” she said.
Both had argued the Wal-Mart
plan did not meet the legal criteria
for a special exception, including
obtaining a variance for being within
the legal 100-foot setback. The variance was not granted because WalMart voluntarily chose to connect
the proposed new construction to the
existing structure, which is inside
that setback, when it could have included space between them and not
needed the variance to proceed.
On the other side, the attorney
for Wal-Mart, Andre Gingles, said
the existing conditions at the shopping center – being “pinched” by
wetlands areas and residential
neighborhoods, as well as the current layout of the property – create
undue hardship for Wal-Mart in its
efforts to expand, justifying the variance.
Councilman Mel Franklin, who
represents Clinton and the rest of
District 9, agreed the shopping center’s layout created the problems. He
said the shopping center was an important economic engine in the area,
and an expanded Wal-Mart would

College Park police officer suspended
By Katishi Maake
COLLEGE PARK – An internal investigation conducted by the
University of Maryland Police Department (UMPD) found that excessive force in the form of pepper
spray was not necessary in an attempt to deescalate a graduation party in May.
During the early morning hours
of May 21, the UMPD received a
call regarding a fight on the 8500
block of Boteler Lane at the Courtyard Apartments in College Park.
Upon arriving on the scene, officers
discovered a graduation party, comprised of primarily African Americans, was underway.
After residents had refuted the
claim that a fight had taken place, officers entered the apartment and decided the party needed to be shut
down because it had surpassed the
capacity the apartment could hold.
When a group of partygoers did not
comply with the instructions to disperse, two officers deployed pepper
spray, claiming they believed an officer was in danger.
Prince George’s County
Fire/EMS personnel later arrived on
the scene to help those affected by
the pepper spray. No major injuries
were reported.
As a result, however, two individuals were identified, arrested and
charged with obstructing and hindering police officers. The state has
since dropped those charges.
A summary of the incident said
all deployments of pepper spray require an administrative internal review, which commenced the day after the incident and concluded on
July 9.
UMPD Police Chief David
Mitchell said in the summary that
the use of pepper spray “could have
been avoided.” Mitchell announced
July 14 that one of the officers has
been suspended two weeks without
pay.
“Throughout the May 21 incident, we should have handled the situation with more diplomacy. It is my

The University of Maryland Police Department’s review of an incident in
which officers discharged pepper spray at a graduation party showed that
the spraying could have been avoided. One officer has been suspended
two weeks without pay due to the incident.
opinion that the subsequent deployment of pepper spray could have
been avoided. This did not have to
happen,” Mitchell said.
Numerous videos of the incident surfaced and circulated on social media, upsetting many members
of the campus community, including
students and administrators.
Police body camera footage of
the incident can be found on the
website of the university’s student
newspaper.
In an open letter released five
days after the incident, Mitchell acknowledged the particular pain behind the incident considering the tumultuous state of police-citizen relations
nationally,
especially
involving African Americans.
University President Wallace
Loh applauded Mitchell and the department for its transparency and accountability. He said he believes this
level of attentiveness to the issue
will bridge divides between the university community and police.
“This is a charged time in our
nation. As a society, we must find a
path forward to come together,”
Loh’s said. “I deeply regret the inci-
dent at The Courtyards, but I believe
the actions by Chief Mitchell and the
UMPD are important steps on our
campus to bridge chasms, salve anguish and anger, and promote justice.”
In addition to suspending an
officer involved, Mitchell has obtained a criminal charge summons
against those who called in the false
report of a fight and announced officers will undergo training in cultural
diversity and implicit bias.
With the help of the university’s
Office of Diversity and Inclusion,
headed by Chief Diversity Officer
and Associate Vice President Kumea
Shorter-Gooden, Mitchell and the
department will look to ensure something like this never happens again.
“I’m well aware we have a department that strives diligently to be
responsive, fair and very integrated
into the life of our community,” said
Shorter-Gooden, who also is a clinical community psychologist. “The
power of implicit bias is that things
can happen, stereotypes can emerge
unbeknownst to people. I’m aware
the University of Maryland is not immune to these problems.”

Despite protest, council approves Wal-Mart expansion
From “Wal-Mart” page E-1
help that role increase.
“This is an existing shopping
center. Clinton, in general, has challenges with the quality of its commercial opportunities. There’s a big
need for investment and redevelopment and renovation in Clinton,” he
said. “It certainly has importance in
the community. This shopping center in particular needs to thrive.”
The council did specify that the
official documentation declaring the
decision overturned would include
conditions. While the text of the document was not available as of press
time, one or more of the conditions
attached to the decision to allow the
expansion could be to improve the
façade of the existing building, based
on Franklin’s comments.
“The existing building has
some age on it,” he said. “That is
definitely a concern about the property as it stands right now, the perception of it not being a great-look-
ing store, to put it bluntly.”
Dwyer blasted Franklin and his
decision.
“Mel Franklin just said aesthetics matter more than the law, matter
more than what his constituents
want,” she said.
Aesthetics weren’t the only
concerns expressed by the citizens.
Protesters said the existing WalMart has contributed negatively to
their neighborhood.
“Since the shopping center has
expanded, we’ve had nothing but a
bunch of break-ins at our homes, and
flooding problems throughout the
neighborhood with the water backing up back into our ditch lines,” said
Donald Hancock, a Clinton resident.
He also complained of the noise
made by trucks as they load and unload merchandise on the service
road behind Wal-Mart and the other
stores.
Gingles argued the county’s
Department of Permitting, Inspection and Enforcement approved the
stormwater management concept
plan for the site and “found no issue
with regard to the stormwater management flow across the site or to
adjacent properties.”
But Councilman Todd Turner
said even if the runoff isn’t proven to
be Wal-Mart’s fault, it would be nice
for the store to try to help the community handle it.
“I think it is contingent on the
applicant trying to be a good neighbor,” he said. “It would go a long
way if they helped resolved some of
those issues.”
Dwyer said her organization
got involved in the fight to help
county residents get their voices
heard. This is the first county-wide
protest she has organized, although
Progressive Maryland has been involved in the individual communities’ fights against Wal-Mart and
other issues.
“We’re working with residents
in Prince George’s County to try to
make Prince George’s County the
way they want it, to make the future
better. We’re just pulling together
the residents who have been upset
for a while and helping them to organize,” she said.
One of those residents was
Clemmie Strayhorn of the Duvall
Village Coalition. Although the
Wal-Mart is not in his neighborhood, he said communities have to
stick together.
“An attack on a community
anywhere in Prince George’s County is an attack on all communities in
Prince George’s County. It’s as simple as that,” he said. “Wherever they
are in Prince George’s County, it’s
my problem because they could
come my way. I’m not going to wait
until they’re in my backyard to say
something.”
In fact, it almost was in his
backyard. In 2015, the District
Council voted down a proposal
from Wal-Mart to build a 24-hour
supercenter in Glenn Dale at the
Duvall Village Shopping Center.
Strayhorn said the way the retailer
went about the process turned him
off. He said the community was not
made aware of any plans for a store
until Wal-Mart applied to enlarge it
over what had initially been
planned.
“I wasn’t too upset about WalMart, because I understand (supporting) American businesses to a
certain extent. But to be non-transparent is the worst thing you can do
in my book,” he said.
Strayhorn, and the others, say
they are not opposed to development in the county, but want better
options.
“Better to me means planned
communities where there’s a good
blend of commercial development
and homeowners and properties,”
he said.
Dwyer said that also includes
“better jobs, no more urban sprawl,
a greater variety of shopping options that fill all of our needs (and)
sit-down restaurants.”

two years include 100 Black Men of
Prince George’s County, Girls Excelling in Math and Science of
Prince George’s County, the Suitland High School Parent Teacher
Association and Vine Corps.
This year, Strive 2 Tri, who
hosts a summer program to help
train youth for a triathlon, Men of
Valor and Purpose, who will host a
science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM) sports camp in
Temple Hills, the L.E.E.P to Col-
lege Foundation, who will expand
college readiness programs at three
high schools, and the Empowerment Center were added to the list
of grant recipients.
Baker said the TNI grants are
all about “everybody getting out of
their silos” and coming together to
find solutions.
“Not saying it’s a school issue.
Not saying it’s the health department
or the social services or the libraries,
but it’s all of ours,” Baker said.
The overall goal of the TNI
Fund is to support nonprofits and organizations committed to helping
and guiding the youth in the county
by supporting education in the forms
of “literacy, early learning, college
and career readiness and other enrichment activities that promote and
assist in improving academic
achievement.” That could also include programs encouraging the improvement of recreational activities,
encourage wellness, conflict resolution, violence prevention, and family engagement as well as life skill
activities that provide exposure to
career opportunities.
“These resources also allow our
extremely dedicated nonprofit organizations to build and sustain their
effectiveness while fostering positive outcomes for Prince George’s
County youth,” said Desiree Griffin-
Moore, executive director of The
Community Foundation for Prince
George’s County.
Maxwell, who said PGCPS is a
large partner in TNI, expressed how
incredibly proud to be serving the
same community he grew up in.
“It is a great feeling to be able to
be in the place I call home, to be able
to do this kind of work for children
who are not a lot different than I was
when I was a student in this school
district,” he said.
Maxwell called the TNI partnership “groundbreaking” and said
the world should take notice of the
working partnership. He said working with each department of govern-
ment and coming together on projects is difficult, but irreplaceable
and incredibly important, as the
school district or the county government cannot do the work alone.
“It is important for academic
success and achievement that the
lessons taught in the classroom are
reinforced at home and in the community,” he said. “Our nonprofits
and community partners help us expand and strengthen the lessons
taught in the classroom. I am pleased
that through the TNI Fund, these
nine organizations will be able to
continue to provide services and
programs for the youth and families
in the community.”

Greenbelt City Council debates cost
share for playground resurfacing
@candacerojo
GREENBELT – It takes a village to keep children safe and
healthy.
Now, the Greenbelt City
Council is ready to tackle a council-deemed “unsafe product” in the
city to ensure the health of its children.
At a meeting on July 11, the
city council took its heated discussion to the play yard, metaphorically, as they hammered out a plan of
action for replacing the shredded
rubber ground in playgrounds
around the city, specifically in two
playgrounds owned by Greenbelt
Homes, Incorporated (GHI). The
topic was thoroughly discussed
during a previous work session
where the council had deemed the
rubber ground unsafe due to reports of toxins in the substance.
Mayor Emmett Jordan said the
two playgrounds, though owned by
the homeowners association, are
coved by the city’s Playground Use
& Maintenance Agreement, in
which the city agreed to maintain
playground equipment in exchange
for “long-term public access,” according to the agreement.
The agreement covers eight
total playgrounds owned by GHI.
“GHI has indicated their desire to replace the shredded rubber
with engineered wood fiber,” Jordan said. “In the (fiscal year) 2016
capital projects fund, this fund included funding for the work.”
Although every member of the
council expressed a desire to replace the shredded rubber at the
two playgrounds, and expressed a
desire to do so at all playgrounds
across the city, the council disagreed heavily on a key component
of the contracted agreement between the city and GHI.
In the agreement, listed as
item number four, GHI and the city
agreed to a 25 percent reimbursement rate for work done to the
playgrounds. The agreement
specifically lists new surfacing materials and the “periodic replenishment of surfacing materials” as
items where the homeowners association must share the cost.
Despite the agreement, some
on the council, specifically Councilman Edward Putens, said they
did not support charging the association for what they viewed as a
“recall” of the shredded rubber.
The total cost of the project is
estimated at $16,000, leaving GHI
with an estimated $4,000 price tag.
Putens said he cannot justify charging the association when he viewed
the entire situation as a city issue.
The city put the rubber in, so
they should pay for the removal of
it as well, Putens said, and he made
a motion for the city to replace the
rubber without the cost share.
“I move that the council approves replacing the shredded rubber with engineered wood fiber and
that’s it,” he said. “I was going to
say the other part, but I don’t want
to do it.”
However Councilwoman Leta
Mach defended the city’s previous
choice and said when they had decided to install the shredded rubber, they thought they were making
a good choice.
“Everyone thought it was a
good product. It was put down in
ADVERTISE
good faith and now that some feel
that it should be replaced; and I
agree with that it should be replaced. I feel that the cost should be
shared as well as it was originally,”
Mach said.
She said as research is done
and public opinion shifts, things
will change and “always change,”
and said she couldn’t support making a special exception and possibly a new precedent for future replacements.
Putens still disagreed and said
GHI already paid for the installation of the rubber once and should
not have to “pay for it twice,” comparing the issue to a parts recall in a
car – something that must be done
at the cost of the manufacture.
However, City Manager
Michael McLaughlin emphasized
the shredded rubber was not recalled and is still in use in many
cities. The decision to remove the
substance was the council’s.
The motion put forth by
Putens did not pass; however, an
alternative motion made by Davis
was passed with only Putens dissenting.
Davis’ motion included the 25
percent cost share, but said the association can pay their share in an
“installment plan agreed to by both
parties at a future date.”
Moving forward, Assistant
City Manager David Moran said
the replacement at the two parks
will likely occur during early fall.
“We’ll get to it as soon as we
can,” he said. “We may catch a
break; public works could squeeze
it in, in August or September. But,
you know, that’s the goal. As soon
as possible.”

County officer who killed Jacai
Colson not indicted by jury
By Jim Davis
UPPER MARLBORO – On
Friday, after almost two months of
reviewing evidence and testimony
in the fatal shooting of Officer Jacai
Colson, a grand jury decided it will
not indict the officer who fired the
fatal bullet during a gun battle in
March at police headquarters in
Landover.
On March 14, just after 4 p.m.,
three brothers drove up Barlowe
Road and parked in front of the District III police headquarters.
Michael Ford then got out holding a
.40 caliber handgun and opened fire
on police headquarters.
As Ford was shooting, Colson,
who was off-duty, arrived and, according to Chief Hank Stawinski,
“saw that his fellow officers were in
danger and put himself between his
fellow officers resulting in him being fatally shot by Officer Taylor
Krauss, a six-year veteran of the
Prince George's County Police Department, who mistook Colson for
an armed threat.”
“Our office conducted two
separate investigations,” said
Prince George's County State's Attorney Angela Alsobrooks. “The
first investigation was the shooting
at police headquarters by Michael
Ford and his two brothers. The second investigation was the fatal
shooting of Officer Colson. A grand
jury has decided they will not indict
Officer Krauss.
“This has been a very excruciating and painful case with no happy ending. We have concluded the
case with Officer Krauss and now
we are moving forward with the
case against Michael Ford and his
brothers.”
Alsobrooks said Colson's family is “disappointed” with the decision and wants people held accountable. Krauss was placed on

UPPER MARLBORO – A Temple Hills man was indicted on gun
charges last Thursday by a Prince
George's County grand jury after he
shot and killed a county
firefighter/paramedic and wounded a
volunteer firefighter in April.
Although charges have been
brought against the suspect, they
were not for the death of the firefighter.
“The grand jury was unable to
return a murder verdict, but was able
to return six gun charges against Darrell Lumpkin,” said Prince George's
County State's Attorney Angela Also-
brooks. “Mr. Lumpkin was not legally allowed to own guns due to a previous assault charge in the 1980s.
Lumpkin could serve a maximum of 60 years in prison if convicted on the charges, however Alsobrooks believes the charges will be
combined and result in him serving
40 years in prison.
On April 15 around 7:30 p.m.,
units from the Prince George's County Fire Department responded to the
5000 block of Sharon Road to check
on the welfare of a male inside a
house after his brother was unable to
contact him.
When units arrived on the scene,
they were unable to make contact
with the person inside the house. At
that point firefighter/paramedic John
Ulmschneider and volunteer firefighter Kevin Swain from the Morningside Volunteer Fire Department,
were able to enter the house.
Just after they entered the house
the homeowner, Lumpkin, opened
fire on the two thinking a home invasion was taking place.
Ulmschneider was transported
to Southern Maryland Trauma Center
in Clinton, where he was later pronounced dead. Swain was transported by Maryland State Police helicopter to the Shock Trauma Center in
Baltimore suffering from multiple
gunshot wounds to his body. Swain
was hospitalized for several weeks
before he was released.

Bowie approves renovation of Allen Pond amphitheater
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
BOWIE – The middle ground
was music to council members’ ears
in Bowie last Monday.
On July 11, the Bowie City
Council voted unanimously to approve the second, “moderate” of
three proposed design concepts for
the renovation of the brickhouse restrooms and the amphitheater in
Allen Pond Park. Funding for the
project had already been included as
part of the five-year Capital Improvements Program (CIP) passed
alongside the fiscal year 2017
(FY17) budget earlier this year, but
city staff recommended upgrading
those plans, which therefore exceeded the budget.
The current CIP designates
$1,823,300 for project. The new
proposal is estimated to cost
$3,235,000 due to increased estimates for redoing a parking lot and
the amphitheater/stage and adding
some additional restrooms. City
staff recommended the upgraded
plan because it would provide a better amenity for residents, Acting
City Manager John Fitzwater said.
“The staff memo also identifies
a potential source for that money,
the Program Open Space monies
that are now programmed for land
acquisition,” he said. “There may be
some funding that may enable us to
move forward with it.”
The city council heard from
staff at A. Thomas Morton Associates (ATM) about the proposed renovations. In accordance with the
2010 Allen Pond Master Plan, they
will include increased ADA compliance, provide ceiling and stage
lighting and include vehicle access
to the stage, tiered seating and improved acoustics. The team decided
to go with a tension structure for the
amphitheater, which has low maintenance needs, has at least a 30-year
warranty and can be made very
cost-effective, and will feel like a
pavilion and provide better views of
the pond beyond.
“I like the concept. It's very
modern. It fits Bowie quite well,”
Mayor Pro-Tem Henri Gardner
said.
As explained by Gregory Osband, project manager with ATM,
the firm concurred with the Master
Plan in moving the location of the
amphitheater away from its current
position. Their proposal shifts it just
a bit farther away from the
boathouse. This is to prevent the sun
from shining direct into performers’
eyes as it does in the current amphitheater.
“We do feel that, as compared
to the existing stage and location,
that this will provide a signature
amenity for the park,” he said. “It’s
going to be something that’s identifiable (and) exciting.”
Other renovations will include
adding a restroom near the amphitheater that can be used, in part,
by performers as changing or staging areas, expanding the existing
brick house restrooms from 300
square feet to 500 square feet (with
two male, two female and one unisex restroom), and increasing the
capacity of the parking lot by about
20 percent over the Master Plan.
Although all the council members expressed strong support for
this project, several of them raised
questions during the briefing.
Councilwoman Diane Polan-
gin wanted to know how the tensile
amphitheater would fare in the
harsh storms Maryland can experience in both the summer and the
winter.
“How is it going to hold up to
storms? You said it was very light
so I can see it like the Wizard of
Oz,” she said.
Design Architect MJ Wojewodzki assured her the materials,
which include fiberglass, are all
very durable and the frame is built
so there will be no movement in the
roof.
“It’s light in terms of how you
perceive it, but not light in terms of
its structural capacity,” she said.
Councilwoman
Courtney
Glass wanted to know if any trees
would be displaced by the new
stage and if they would be replaced.
Osband said any trees lost
would be younger, weaker trees,
and healthier specimens to replace
them are already in the project’s
budget.
“A lot of these trees are not in
the best of shape. We are avoiding
any high-quality trees,” he said.
“We may have to remove a dozen or
they may even be two dozen in
there, but they are small trees.”
Councilman Michael Esteve
praised the team for including
amenities that the citizens of Bowie
have told him they value.
“I like that in your plan you include a shuttle access, which is important. A lot of my residents are
telling me they increasingly want
alternative transportation in public
spaces like this,” he said.
He also asked about what accommodations, like trails or parking, have been made for bicyclists
who use or would want to use the
park. Wojewodzki admitted this
was not something they had looked
at so far.
“That’s actually a great point
and something we'll keep in mind
going forward,” she said.
With the council’s vote, the
city staff will need to work on an
updated funding request for the
FY18 budget and that cycle’s CIP,
which will be debated in the first
half of 2017. If the funds are approved then, the renovations will
begin in stages, with the amphitheater being the first.

@candacerojo
Keeping Up With the Audits
Hyattsville Treasurer Ron
Brooks had good news for the
city council at the July 18 meeting. The fiscal year 2014 audit
was officially closed on July 8
with no major findings. After
starting three years behind on audits when he took the job, Brooks
expects to finish the fiscal year
2015 audit by October.
Although Brooks expects to
seek an extension on the fiscal
year 2016 audit, which is due in
December, he said he expects the
city to be completely back on
track for fiscal year 2017.
Seeking Opinions
The city council will hold a
public hearing on August 1 at 7
p.m. to gauge the public’s opinion on a possible issuance of refunding bonds for the University
Town Center special taxing district. The aggregate principal
amount will not exceed approximately $17,700, and the interest
rate would not exceed 5 percent
per annum. Brooks said this a
good opportunity for the town
center.

Being Compliant
The city council voted unanimously Monday to approve a
contact with Team Cam for ADA
accommodations on Nicholson
Street.
The city agreed to install
ramps and complete sidewalks on
Nicholson Street, following a
complaint from a resident who
could not get around due to the
current state of the street.
The contract with Team Cam
is not to exceed $18,000 and all
the finished ramps will be in
compliance with Federal ADA
Regulations.
Say Cheese
Be on the lookout for a new
speed camera on Baltimore Avenue.
Over the past several years
Hyattsville has received speed
cameras as part of the Speed
Camera Monitoring laws passed
during the 2014 legislative session.
The newest installment is on
the 5800 block of Baltimore Avenue near DeMatha Catholic
High School on the southbound
side of the road. The camera will
issue only warnings until July 26.
Chim Chim Cher-ee
The city’s public works department is looking into purchas-
ing a street sweeper to increase
efforts against litter and general
debris pollution across the city.
Lesley Riddle, the public
works director, said the street
sweeper is one of the most effective tools in preventing storm water pollution. The city has not had
a street sweeper since 2012.
The proposal is for a Stewart-Amos Street Sweeper, Starfire
S4 for an amount not to exceed
$203,000.
The city is also considering a
program to let neighboring municipalities use the cleaner for an
agreed-upon hourly driver and
equipment rate and is pursuing
grant funding as well.

Local restaurants partner with Redskins for gameday menu
By Daniel Kucin Jr.
Sports Editor
LANDOVER – Every die hard
fan knows the gameday experience
is about more than just the game.
Food is a huge component of
that experience and Washington
Redskins fans just had a hand in the
future selections at FedExField.
A new menu full of local and
farm-fresh choices was on the agenda and the Redskins granted that request for their loyal fan base. On
July 13, fans had the opportunity to
taste-test a variety of foods that they
will get to enjoy this upcoming season.
“The Washington Redskins are
committed to providing the best
possible fan experience at FedExField,” said Chris Bloyer, senior
vice president of stadium operations
and guest relations. “We paid close
attention to suggestions from this
past season and believe this new
menu will enhance dining at our stadium.”
Fans have been asking for a
signature hot dog that would set itself apart from the rest of the competition. Owners Mike and Jason
Trippett of Hagerstown-based Hoffman Meats made that happen. Hoffman Meats produces only all-natural, gluten-free products with no
preservatives, nitrates, artificial colors or artificial flavors.
After tasting four different
choices, they decided the hot dog
will consist of bacon, ham, sausage
and pulled pork. Other local restaurant and food providers will grace
home games with delicious delights
as well.
Mark Henry of Island Bwoy
Cuisine wanted to live the “American Dream,” and he found it in
Bowie. Henry studied at the Culinary Institute of America where he
learned how to make different
sausages that captured the essence
of his home country of Jamaica.
Since 2011, Henry and Island Bwoy
Cuisine have provided unique and
scrumptious dishes for the masses.
“It is a tremendous opportunity
and I look forward to working with
our local community,” Henry said.
“The sky is the limit.
“We opened our manufacturer’s facility in Temple Hills three
years ago and we are already looking to expand. I love giving back to
the community and that is what it is
all about. I do this because I have a
passion for it.”
Another local tie with the Redskins organization is Bob Hall based
out of Upper Marlboro. James
Dammeyer began his brewing career in 2009 when he joined Bob
Hall and then relocated to the west
coast in San Diego during the height
of the beer craft movement.
Dammeyer returned to the area in
2013 as a craft specialist to provide
some of the best libations the area
has to offer.
“I have been a lifetime Redskins fan, so working with them has
been a dream,” Dammeyer said. “I
enjoy it, it is a natural fit, and you
get to try a lot of different styles.
“The craft beer movement has
really expanded, so getting the craft
beers in the stadium will only help
the local economy. I hope to see
more PG county breweries, so I
think it will definitely help the
economy and the surrounding
area.”
Caribbean Cove (Bowie) and
Lyons Bakery (Hyattsville) will
also provide dishes for fans to enjoy. Paul Hannam of Caribbean
Cove worked on the culinary team
at the Blair House for 12 years serving three different presidential administrations and his Jamaican cuisine is sure to make your mouth water. For fans with a sweet tooth,
Lyons Bakery provides some of the
best desserts around and has maintained the highest certifications in
food and safety.
No matter what fans choose to
eat at FedExField this season, experienced chefs and caterers will satisfy their palate.
Tiafoe’s errors spell doom in opening round of the Citi Open
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
WASHINGTON D.C. – One
of tennis’ most hyped prospects,
Hyattsville native Frances Tiafoe,
put his skills on display against
French journeyman Adrian Mannarino late Monday night at the
Citi Open at Rock Creek Park Tennis Center.
Tiafoe fell 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 in
front of his hometown fans and
family after a solid start turned
disastrous due to unforced errors.
But there is still plenty of promise
ahead for the 18-year-old prospect
who enjoyed his experience.
“I was looking forward to the
Citi Open this year more than any
other tournament,” Tiafoe said. “I
am thankful for the chance to play
in front of my family and friends
and I tried to make the most of the
opportunity.”
Jeff Newman, who is the tournament director, made sure Tiafoe
was given a wild card and the opportunity at home-field advantage.
“Having Frances in the draw
is really the best of both worlds for
us,” Newman told Shomari Stone
of NBC4 DC. “He is a well known
tennis player, and an extremely
well known tennis player in the
D.C. area. From a ticket standpoint, it is a great opportunity for
us and also a great story.”
The story is, in fact, a great
one for Tiafoe. Growing up, his father, who was from Sierra Leone,
was a maintenance worker for the
Junior Tennis Champions Centre
near Washington, D.C. It is where
Frances and his twin brother
called home as they slept on a
massage table when they had no
other place to go.
Through his perseverance and
hard work, Tiafoe became a tennis
prodigy at 15 when he became the
youngest player ever to win the
Orange Bowl (the most prestigious 18-and-under tournament in
tennis). From there, the prodigy
grew into a prospect and has become a very humble and happy
young man at just 18 years of age.
The crowd had died down
drastically by the time Tiafoe took
to the court after a lengthy rain delay pushed the start time to his
match from 8:30 p.m. to past 11
p.m. But regardless of the circumstances, Tiafoe was still determined to come out with a win.
“It’s unbelievable playing
here. I had goose bumps and was
really excited and ready to go,” he
said.
The first set was a tightly contested, back-and-forth match until
Tiafoe pulled ahead with his powerful serve and recorded seven
aces in the first set. Mannarino,
being the veteran that he is, did
not panic and chipped away at the
lead Tiafoe had built and pushed
the first set into a tiebreaker. Mannarino would take the tie breaker
and the set, 7-6 (7-4).
In the second set, Tiafoe
again exploded into a 3-0 lead.
However, Mannarino weathered
that storm as well. Tiafoe continuously kept making mental errors
and they ended up costing him the
match in straight sets. Only Tiafoe
knows the cause of his errors, but
the match was one he could’ve
easily won in straight sets. Still,
he had no reason to hang his head
and intends to learn from his mistakes.
“Hard work is everything.
Talent only takes you so far and if
you believe it you can do it,” he
said. “Never let anyone say you
can’t do something because nothing is impossible. I’m here doing
what I’m doing now, so nothing is
impossible.”
Mannarino advances to face
the fifth-ranked Steve Johnson in
the second round.

Belair Bath & Tennis swim team prepares for divisionals
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
BOWIE – The Belair Bath &
Tennis (BBT) swim team had another solid meet on Saturday as it
took on Adelphi with many senior
swimmers looking to make a final
splash this summer.
Everyone was excited to participate at the meet with their
teammates for one last time.
Swimmer Chad Williams was one
of BBT's stronger competitors. He
swam his final event in the team
relays and the BBT family said it is
going to miss his leadership.
“Chad came just to swim in
the last event which was the relay,
because he’s a senior and wanted
to do that for his team,” Head
Coach Jeanine Surfus said. “But I
think a lot of the kids did really
well and his leadership will be
missed.”
In other races throughout the
day, personal best times were set
for BBT as several swimmers had
a fantastic meet. In the boy’s 1112 50-meter freestyle, BBT took
first place in all three heats as
Johnny Farley (37.71), Miles
Evans (40.52) and Marco Harris
(45.71) all posted stellar times to
dominate their fields.
“This season, I’m looking at
little improvements like streamlining, coming off walls, making good
turns with proper technique, along
with good finishes,” Surfus said.
“Everyone has done very well.
“I try to tell them they’re racing against themselves and of
course to try and out touch their opponent, but they’re really racing
against themselves trying to beat
their own time. It doesn’t matter if
they get first in the event or last
place as long as they try to improve
themselves.”
Ryan New won the 100-meter
freestyle for BBT with a time of
1:14.27. He was very excited to be
out there with his team enjoying
the sun and competition.
“Well, it was really fun to see
two teams come together,” New
said. “Even though we’re ‘enemies,’ we’re still going to cheer on
the other team and tell them ‘good
game’ and everything. It’s great to
see people coming together like
that.”
BBT now moves on to the di-

visional competitions on July 23 at
White Hall in Bowie. And although
the BBT swim club is going up
against teams with year-round
swimmers, New is still excited to
take part in the event.
“We’re moving on to facing
the year-round swimmers, so we’re
probably going to lose that next
meet, but I feel like we’re doing a
good job. We have fun with it,
which is all that matters.”
Bowie State hires women’s basketball coach Maryland’s Carter, Jr. added
to Butkus Award watch list
By Daniel Kucin Jr.
Sports Editor
BOWIE – After conducting a
national search, Bowie State University officially named Shadae
Swan as the new head coach of
the women's basketball team on
July 13.
“After a very extensive
search, it is with profound excitement that I have selected Coach
Shadae Swan as the next head
women’s basketball coach for
Bowie State University,” said
Bowie State Athletic Director
Clyde Doughty. “Coach Swan is a
dedicated professional who is
academic-minded and driven to
achieving a high level of success
athletically. Bulldog Nation is
looking forward to the upcoming
women’s basketball season and
many, many more under the direction of Coach Swan.”
Before joining Bowie State,
Swan was the assistant women's
basketball coach at Baltimore
City Community College. Swan
took over coaching duties for
Bowie State midway through the
2014-2015 campaign on Jan. 29,
2015. She then coached the
women’s basketball team for the
entire 2015-2016 season on an interim basis. During that span,
Swan notched 11 wins.
As a Goucher College graduate, Swan earned a bachelor’s degree in communication and media
studies, a master's degree in education with a specialization in ath-
letic administration, and a masters
of arts in teaching with a dual certification in elementary/middle
and special education.
“I am blessed, excited and
honored to begin this journey as
head coach at Bowie State University,” Swan said. “All members of the team have been working extremely hard to prepare for
the upcoming season.
“We will commit to excel in
the classroom and on the basketball court while producing leaders
as we represent the university
with pride and integrity. I would
like to thank Mr. Doughty, President Burnim, the alumni association and Bowie State staff members for their continued support
along this journey.”

linebacker as a sophomore in
2015. During that span, Carter, Jr.
led the team with 103 tackles and
was eighth in the conference in
tackles per game (8.6). Those
numbers garnered him Honorable
Mention All-Big Ten honors. He
also accounted for 14 tackles for
loss, making for the most by a
Maryland middle linebacker
since E.J. Henderson achieved
the feat in 2002.
Semi-finalists for the Butkus
Award will be named Oct. 31,
with the finalists being named on
Nov. 21. Winners will be notified
on or before Dec. 6.

Antuanne Russell is on his way to the Olympic Games
By Ron Harris
@DCRonski
CAPITOL HEIGHTS – When
the 2016 Olympic Games begin in
Rio, Antuanne Russell will join the
likes of former DMV Olympians
such as Clarence Vinson (2000,
Bronze Medal), Charles Mooney
(1976), Louis Curtis (1976), along
with the greatest Olympian from the
DMV, Sugar Ray Leonard (1976,
Gold Medal).
Russell, who is just 20 years
old, is a member of the Russell boxing family of Capitol Heights. They
are the most decorated family in amateur boxing history, as all four
brothers have won the National
Golden Gloves championship. Gary,
Jr. won in 2005, Allan won in 2010,
Antonio won in 2013 and Russell
won in 2014. Gary, Jr. was also an
Olympian after he made the 2008
team, but did not participate due to
extenuating circumstances.
Gary, Sr., coach of all of his
sons, calls the family “the blood lines
of royalty, and Antuanne is the
prince.”
“We expected him to make the
Olympic team,” said Gary, Sr., who
is proud of his youngest son and how
he distinguished himself as a scholar.
“Antuanne was the valedictorian of
his senior class in high school. He
carries that mind set into each fight.”
Gary, Jr. said he also holds a lot
of pride for his brother.
“What I am most proud of is the
way he listens to our father,” he said.
“He is so smart, in and out of the
ring.
“We give our parents all the
credit for our success. They instilled
the work ethic that we all display.”
The Russells are humble. They
don’t seem to realize what an incredible accomplishment it is to have
four brothers with National Golden
Gloves championships and a professional with a world title belt.
“I listen to my coach, because
he not only coaches me, he is my father,” Russell said. “He makes me
focus. We sometimes work out seven
hours a day.”
COURTESY PHOTO
Antuanne Russell, the youngest brother of the Russell family, will fight for Team USA in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio. Russell, who is 20 years old,
trains out of Capitol Heights under the tutelage of his father, Gary Russell, Sr.
The path to the Olympics is a
tough one. After a fighter “makes”
the U.S. team, they must compete in
an international tournament and win
against a foreign opponent, not once,
but twice.
“It’s almost like the pros,” said
Gary, Sr. “There is no head gear like
regular amateur tournaments and
they fight five round fights. They do
get paid, which is good. That is why
some young fighters turn pro rather
than try out for the Olympics.”
One such fighter is D.C.’s own
Lamont Roach, Jr. He was favored to
make the team, but his father made
the decision to turn pro instead of going through the grind of making the
U.S. team. Plus, if a fighter fails in
the international tournament of the
trials, they can be left off the team.
Russell will fight in the 141pound division. He is a natural
southpaw and according to his dad,
he “has knockout power.”
With less than a monthleft until
the start of the games, Russell is
training in Colorado Springs.
“We are check sparring, along
with strength and conditioning
work,” Russell said. “Because the air
quality is different, the altitude. It’s a
big advantage for when we go out of
the country to compete.
“As for techniques, my father
tweaks things so I can keep improv-
ing.”
But how can his father work
with the fighter when he is home and
the fighter is in Colorado? “Don’t
forget, he has been training me all
my life. He can tweak me with his
eyes closed.”
Associate Olympic boxing
coach Kay Koroma has followed the
Russell family for years.
“Antuanne was way ahead of
his years,” he said. “He was doing
things that his older brothers were
doing when he was 10 years old. He
is one of the fighters that we expect
to medal in Rio.”
Russell has very little experience in international boxing, but Ko-
roma said “he’s stepping up.”
“He trusts us as coaches and he
is showing that he really wants it,”
he said.
The Olympic coaches find it
hard to focus on would-be opponents in Russell’s division because a
lot of the fighters they thought
would qualify from other countries
did not.
“Since Antuanne is kind of a
rookie, everybody is a threat and we
have to look at it like that,” Koroma
said.
Russell is a supremely confident fighter with tremendous skills
and the entire family is looking for
the “prince” to bring home the gold.
