UPPER MARLBORO – Charter change could be coming to
Prince George’s County.
At its June 14 meeting, the
county council is set to debate as the
committee of the whole on CB-40,
which would amend the county
charter to allow for the election of
two additional council members.
These would be elected at-large.
Although he was unable to
speak to The Sentinel regarding details of the amendment prior to press
deadline, Council Chair Derrick
Davis said he was looking at the issue through a lens of what neighboring jurisdictions do for governance.
In Arlington County, Va., all
five members of the governing
board are elected at-large. And
Montgomery County’s council consists of nine members, of which four
are elected at-large.
The proposal would amend sections 301, 303 and 307A of the Charter of Prince George’s County,
which deal with the composition,
residency qualifications/election
and term limits, respectively, for the
legislative branch of county government.

County to increase bus service during surges
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
NEW CARROLLTON –
Metro’s SafeTrack plan may have 15
surges, but Prince George’s County’s plan to mitigate its effects is a
three-parter, officials announced.
At a press conference held at
the New Carrollton Metro Station on
June 9, County Executive Rushern
Baker III, County Director of Public
Works and Transportation Darrell
Mobley, and Metro Chief Operating
Officer Jack Requa detailed the
county’s plans to help commuters
impacted by the second and 12th
maintenance surges outlined in
SafeTrack.
“This is a very critical issue for
us in the Washington region, especially Prince George’s County,”
Baker said. “We have some of the
highest numbers of federal employees in the county, and those federal
employees and those employees
who work in the district take Metro.
So it’s very important for us during
these times when they’re doing
SafeTrack that we figure out ways
for them to be able to get back and

forth from their jobs in the region.”
County commuters will be significantly affected by Surge Two,
which will completely shut down
the Metrorail system on the Orange,
Silver and Blue Lines between Min-
nesota Avenue (Orange Line)/Benning Road (Blue and Silver Lines)
and Eastern Market stations between
June 18 and July 3. Those lines run
from Prince George’s County into
the District of Columbia.
In a change from previous
statements from the county, Mobley
announced that from June 20 to July
1, Prince George’s County’s TheBus
service will increase capacity on the
15X line, which runs from New Carrollton Metro Station to Greenbelt
Metro Station, where riders can access the Green Line or other modes
of transportation. Buses will run
every 20 minutes and rides will be
free of charge from New Carrollton
to Greenbelt during the surge.
TheBus’s 15X service will run
from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., although those
hours could change.
“We also are looking at possibly extending that a little later. If we
see the commute patterns have adjusted, we will adjust accordingly,”
Mobley said.

Council confirms Rogers as new WSSC commish
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
UPPER MARLBORO – The
county council agrees with the U.S.
government that Thomasina Rogers
is “meritorious,” confirming her for
a three-year term as a new commissioner for the Washington Suburban
Sanitation Commission (WSSC).
Rogers, an Upper Marlboro resident, was named to the rank of meritorious executive in the federal Se-
nior Executive Service (SES) – a
rank given to no more than 5 percent
of employees in the SES – due to her
work in the Office of Legal Counsel
of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). She
helped draft regulations and procedures for implementing the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Prior to that accomplishment,
Rogers earned a degree in journalism from Northwestern and a law
degree from Columbia. But, speak-
ing before the county council’s
transportation, housing and the environment committee on June 2, she
said her view of government and
governing was shaped long before
that.
“Before I left high school in
Montgomery, Ala. in 1969, I had already begun to form a strong opinion that government has the responsibility to ensure certain basic opportunities and quality of life for all
Americans,” Rogers said.
This belief, as well as her strong
track record at the federal level, led
County Executive Rushern Baker III
to nominate her for the post of
WSSC Commissioner being vacated
by Mary Hopkins-Navies, and then
the county council to confirm her on
June 7.
“Ms. Rogers, welcome
aboard,” said Councilman Obie Patterson. “I would a little remiss if I

A New Spirit Takes Old Hyattsville
Each week The Sentinel visits
a memorable story from its
archives.
The plaque on the Hyattsville
house-front at 42nd Ave. and Farragut St. reads “1881.” Its being
there represents a new spirit in old
Hyattsville: the desire for historical preservation.
Mike Machen, lifelong Hyattsville resident, is a main advocate of the preservation movement. He believes the creation of
an “historical trust”- a protective
program to encourage restoration
and preservation of propertieswill prevent further deterioration
of the city’s older homes.
Machen said he would like to
see businesses and residents work
together to improve the business
district and homes adjacent to Rte.
One, between Kennedy St. and the
Northwest Branch. Machen will
present plans for the historical
trust on March 19 to the Hyattsville City Council.
Francis X. Geary, city council
representative for Ward 1, a district partially affected by the proposal, said he believes “citizens
are all for it. There are many nice,
old homes in the area, and I’d hate
to see them become run-down
from neglect or torn down.”
Because Hyattsville cannot
create an historical trust, the decision must come from the county
level, Machen explained. The
Prince George’s County Council
is currently considering an historic
trust bill which would allow it to

worldwide, during the institute's 70th Annual
Conference in Omaha, Neb., on May 25. Barber’s region represents the following states:
Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. He will serve
a three-year term culminating in May 2019.
Barber has been a municipal clerk for 14

Councilman Geary said if the
presentation is favorably received,
the council would probably establish an investigatory team to pursue the issue. Geary estimated the
typical cost of restoring a home at
$25-30,000, noting that if the trust

2016 hurricane and summer storm season
As we enter the 2016 hurricane and
summer storm season, the Prince George’s
County Office of Homeland Security/Office
of Emergency Management, along with state
and federal partners, are proactively encouraging everyone to take an active role by
preparing themselves, their families and
their communities for potential storm hazards.
The peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season, which began June 1 and ends November
30, is August and September. Although there
is no prediction of how many storms will impact our area, residents are reminded that
readiness is always the best defense. Flooding, high winds and excessive rainfall can severely impact both the community and the

and many people are looking for
older homes in preference to the
newer ones because of the better
workmanship in the older structures,” said Dale.

Prince George’s County Public Schools’ $100M
structural deficit to put program expansion on hold
By Candace Rojo Keyes
@Candacerojo
UPPER MARLBORO –
Tough choices are before the
Prince George’s County Board of
Education and with less money to
work with than needed to fully
fund expanding programs, the
board will have to pick between the
school system’s greatest needs.
Although the Prince George’s
County Council has allocated more
money to the Prince George’s
County Schools (PCGPS) system
than last year, the school system is
still looking at less money than
what would be needed to open a
new office for parental engagement, fulfill the recommendations
of the Student Safety Task Force,
expand programs within the county, and provide pay increases to its
employees.
Raymond Brown, the chief financial officer for PGCPS, gave a
presentation to the board of education at a work session last week
where the board dug into the proposed reconciliation of the budget.
Brown said, although the
county council gave both more
than the required maintenance of
effort and more than fiscal year
2016, the money allocated to
PGCPS will not be enough. In fact,
he said the school system is running into a structural deficit.
“Our current fiscal reality, and
I hope to have some analytics on
this in the next 90 to 100 days, is
we have a structural deficit,”
Brown said. “In other words, if you
look at the horizon potential for
revenue growth versus commitments and other costs associated
with managing a school system,
there’s a built-in structural deficit.”
Board Chair Segun Eubanks
also expanded upon the county
council’s decision to reduce the
PGCPS budget from the asking
amount of $2 billion to $1.92 – a
$2.5 million cut from the county
executive’s reduction. Eubanks
said despite the funding nearing a 5
percent increase from fiscal year
2016, it is essentially a decrease in
what the school system can offer.
“It’s ironic and it’s tough because it’s true. It’s a 4.5 percent increase over (last) year, but it’s a
fundamental decrease in services
that we’re able to provide in our
district because of the ongoing cost
of what we’re already doing,” Eubanks said.
In addition to the decrease of
the proposal from the council,
PGCPS is also expecting an approximate $11 million loss in revenue from grants and federal programs expiring.
In total, Brown said, PGCPS is
expecting $82.3 million in revenue
while they expect the mandatory
costs and cost of doing business
(i.e. pensions, health insurance and
bills) at more than $182 million,
which is a nearly $100 million gap.
To combat some of the losses
in proposed revenue from the
county, Kevin Maxwell, chief executive officer of PGCPS, and
Brown’s team made various suggestions to the board to reconcile
the difference.
Suggestions included increasing the amount of fund balance
used in fiscal year 2017 by $7.5
million; deferring or putting off
lease purchases for technology and
textbooks for a year, saving $4.7
million; increasing the salary lapse
to $10 million, requiring vacant positions to remain vacant during the
year and a rolling hiring freeze for
critical vacancies such as classroom based jobs; department reductions of $12.4 million; and reducing funding for board priorities
to save approximately $26.7 million.
With these cuts, Brown said
PGCPS could balance its budget.
However, board members expressed concerns with some of the
cuts from the original board-approved proposal. Specifically,
many members saw concern with
reducing the desired addition of 14
literacy coaches and 20 math specialists to just five additional
apiece.
Recommendations also eliminate 25 systemic classroom teacher
additions, 34 teacher additions to
reduce class sizes, 10 English Language Learner support additions,
five additional psychological services employees, six additional
Science Technology Engineering
and Math (STEM) staff and the
five positions for the new middle
college (or teacher academy).
Twenty-five additional bus
driver positions and 21 proposed
additional second shift maintenance slots were also eliminated.
Additional funding for items
such as alternative education supports, the summer youth employment program, vocational education equipment improvements,
dual enrollment and curriculum
writing were axed completely.
The budget does include, however, an additional $614,000 for the
expansion of varsity lacrosse, 24
new positions for charter schools at
$6.5 million, $520,000 for the Junior Achievement Finance Park, an
additional $1.9 million for the International High Schools, and
$259,000 for career academy program expansions, which was reduced from a proposed $778,168.
Boardmember Beverly Anderson expressed her continued dissatisfaction with the low funding for
reading and math specialists in the
25 lowest performing schools and
said she did not believe the recommendations reflected the board’s
priorities, to which Boardmember
Edward Burroughs III agreed.
Burroughs said he would like
to either see a consolidation of central office departments that handle
similar items or see the reduction
of other line items to fund the tutors and assistance for low performing students.
“Everything is important, but
when we’re talking priorities, I
think we have to be willing to have
the conversation what we’re willing to cut to redirect that money to
ADVERTISE in

things we know that work to benefit kids,” he said.
The new parent university is
something Burroughs said he
would be willing to lose. At a cost
of $475,168, he thinks the money
could be better used to directly support students. However, Vice Chair
Carolyn Boston and member Patricia Eubanks both emphasized there
is only so much the school system
can do if the parents are not engaged and not educated on how to
help their students.
“We cannot educate our kids
without parental engagement. We
can do all the literacy coaches, all
the math coaches, we can do all of
that, but if we don’t bring the parents to the table to be partners with
us in educating our kids, a lot of
this is all for naught,” Boston said.
Throughout the meeting
board members debated their priorities for the budget and what
items could be reduced for increases in others. Brown said the
budget staff will use recommendations from the meetings to create a
final reconciled budget for the
board to vote on during the June
14 meeting.
“Based on the feedback we
get here we will get out the scrub
brush and scrub the numbers,”
Brown said.
Eubanks compared the decisions to cutting bone, but Brown
said it was like cutting marrow.
“We’re not cutting bone,
we’re cutting bone marrow,” he
said.

County to increase bus service during SafeTrack surge
From “SafeTrack” page 1
them from making such service increases. But today, Baker said providing the service to residents is the
right thing to do to make commutes
easier during this time.
“What we’ve always said is
we’re going to look at how the situation is unfolding and we’re going to
make the best decision for the residents of Prince George’s County to
get back and forth,” he said. “We’re
going to make the best decision
within our confines. Everything is
within a budget, but we’re going to
make the adjustments we need to
make to make people’s commutes as
easy as possible.”
Metro will also be providing
shuttle buses to service the affected
stations, but county officials say the
best option is to avoid those train
lines if possible. That is part one of
their plan for handling the surge.
“We want to do everything we
can to have individuals avoid the
system if they can during that time
period,” Mobley said. “If you’re
able to telework or to work an alternative work schedule, we strongly
encourage it during the second
surge.”
Part two of the plan involves
looking at alternative commuting
modes like rideshare services or carpooling. Mobley said the county is
working with the Washington Area
Bicycle Association to determine
bike commuting routes for residents.
Mobley also said the county
had requested the Maryland Transit
Administration (MTA) increase service on the MARC train lines during
the surge and had received “verbal
commitment that they are willing to
increase capacity along the Camden
line and the Penn line to aid in additional capacity.”
But MTA spokesperson Paul
Shepard said the agency is only
planning to increase capacity on the
Camden line, adding 10 cars that
will stay in service “as long as need-
ed,” but might be removed if they
are not utilized.
The increased bus service provided by the county and Metro itself,
whose 40 to 50 buses will be supplemented with Prince George’s County buses if necessary, is part three of
the plan.
Requa said Metro believes it
has enough buses to shuttle effectively, running every five to 10 minutes during peak hours.
“We think there will be sufficient buses if we can keep the number of people coming through the
Orange and Silver Lines down to a
minimum,” he said.
Unlike during the 29-hour system-wide Metro shutdown in
March, the high-occupancy vehicle
(HOV) lane restrictions will not be
lifted during the surge. In fact, Mobley said he has asked the state to increase the number of officers enforcing those restrictions.
“We want to encourage carpooling, so we don’t want to take
away and have single cars in an
HOV lane, which will create more
congestion and further delays,” he
said.
The county will be monitoring
traffic on major roadways into the
district and make real-time adjustments to the length of green lights as
needed to accommodate an increased number of drivers.
A later surge will also impact
Prince George’s County commuters.
From Nov. 12 through Dec. 20,
Metro will be single-tracking trains
between the Greenbelt and College
Park stations. Mobley said the county will be adding 10 more buses to
create a shuttle between those stations once that surge begins.
Mobley said getting the word
out to residents about these other options is critical in the lead-up to the
surge. To do so, department of public works and transportation employees will be present at county
Metro stations starting June 9
through next week, handing out in-
formational cards explaining the alternative transportation options.
Four or five yellow shirt-clad SafeTrack team members will be at each
station, but the distribution might
change based on the traffic at each
station.
“That commute will be different from what we are experiencing
now with Phase I,” Mobley said. “So
we need to make sure we are communicating and getting information
out.”
The county’s website will also
advertise the plan.
Requa said commuters in Virginia seem to have heard about the
SafeTrack surge currently taking
place on their portion of the Orange
Line and have adjusted their habits
accordingly, which makes things
easier.
“The word has gotten out,” he
said. “We’re very pleased that people not only have heard about SafeTrack, have heard about alternatives,
but are taking the alternatives.”
Council confirms Rogers as new WSSC commissioner
From “WSSC” page 1
didn’t say I was sorry to see Ms.
Hopkins-Navies go. But I’m optimistic that we have a good replacement that’s going to equally carry
out the duties.”
Council Vice-Chair Dannielle
Glaros agreed with Patterson’s assessment based on a meeting she had
had with Rogers.
“I just want to commend the
county executive’s team and office. I
think she’s going to do a fabulous job
on WSSC and I’m really excited for
her appointment,” Glaros said. “It
was a great conversation. I think she
brings a real talent from her previous
jobs in terms of problem solving.”
Rogers accepted her appointment humbly.
“It seems to me that all roads in
my career have led to WSSC.
There’s no more precious commodity in this world than water, and for
me to be able to serve in a capacity
with such wonderful commissioners
would be an honor,” she said before
the council’s 8-0 vote.
In addition to the EEOC,
Rogers has served as the chairman of
the federal Occupational Health and
Safety Administration Review Commission, a post she retired from on
April 27, 2015. She is also vice-chair
of the Administrative Conference of
the United States, which brings together thinkers in the public and private sector to work on strategies for
improving government operations
and administration.
“Since graduating from law
school, I have pursued a career in
public service centered around
equality of opportunity, as well as a
worker for safety issues and access to
the mechanisms of government,”
said Rogers, who also said to her,
good governance is transparent, collaborative, fair, effective and efficient. “I would be very proud to be a
part of WSSC as it moves toward
those goals and beyond them.”
Rogers said because she has not
served in WSSC before, she was “reserved” in saying what her specific
goals for the utility would be. But she
did say she believes she can be effective.
“I have had the opportunity to
view a number of hearings online. I
think the commission already is a
very collaborative body. What I
would bring on a personal level
would be the ability to analyze complex, involved information to render
good results and decisions,” she said.
In response to a question from
Patterson, Rogers said she would
bring her experience with equal opportunity hiring and contracting to
WSSC in response to complaints
Patterson had heard from constituents who had difficulties finding
jobs there.
“Equal opportunity is where I
live. It’s a matter of how you look,
with whom you look, and at the end
of the day, you grow them if they’re
not there. And that’s a long, extended
process,” Rogers said. “I can assure
you of my commitment to those issues.”
The council also voted to re-appoint Christopher Lawson as a commissioner for WSSC. He is currently
the vice-chair and acting chairman of
the governing body. Lawson said he
too was interested in increasing minority business participation within
WSSC.
“I am the one commissioner
who is always talking about, ‘What
can we do to better connect with our
businesses?’” Lawson said. “We do a
lot of community outreach and that
sort of thing. We do a good job in
making sure that folks and business
have their certifications. But I’m always pushing on, well, what can we
do to take the extra step to make
sure?”
He also addressed the perennial
issue of WSSC customer service,
saying that improving in that area is
one of the utility’s goals.
“Having the right person in the
right role to make sure things are
moving along (is important). The effort’s there. And I think the biggest
thing really is getting to it sooner
than later,” he said. “We’ve got a lot
of work to do, we’ve done a lot of
work, and I am up to the job.”
Councilmembers acknowledged that some improvement had
been made since Carla Reid took
over as general manager but insisted
even more needed to be done.
“I’m really pleased with Ms.
Reid’s leadership over there,” Glaros
said. “I do feel like we are tackling
some of these challenges. I would
say there’s a long way to go. I do
think you all as commissioners, I
hope you continue to push the organization and support her efforts to do
exactly that, which is to make sure
we have a platinum organization
from top to bottom.”

Rochester continues domination of Chesapeake, sweeps again
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
ANNAPOLIS – The Chesapeake Bayhawks looked to avenge
their fifth consecutive loss to the
Rochester Rattlers on June 11 to remain in second place in the Major
League Lacrosse standings.
Unfortunately for the Bayhawks, they continued to be snakebitten by the Rattlers, and have
now been swept by the team in
each of the last three seasons after
falling18-8 in a blowout at home.
The game started off tightly
contested defensively with the
Bayhawks and Rattlers remaining
deadlocked at one until the five
minute mark of the first quarter.
Rochester then took its first lead of
the contest and added another score
with roughly three minutes remaining.
The back and forth struggle
continued. Jesse Bernhardt pulled
the Bayhawks within one with a
gorgeous spinning backhand shot
off of a pass from Matt Abbott.
However, Rochester answered immediately and took a 4-2 lead into
the second quarter.
“Obviously we wanted to have
a better performance tonight, but it
wasn’t our night and you’ve got to
give them credit,” said Abbott, a
Bayhawks defender. “We didn’t
make plays when we needed to and
we’ve got to look at it as one game
and learn from our mistakes going
into this bye week, because then
we have three games in 10 days
against the top teams in the league.
We’ve just got to fix our mistakes
and be better.”
The Bayhawks started the second with a two-man advantage, and
Drew Westervelt made it a 4-3
game with a scoring strike. Joe
Walters continued his hot streak
too as he took control and tied the
game at four.
Rochester continued to press
and regained the lead right before
the half, as the Rattlers expanded it
to 8-5 with the Bayhawks’ play
turning very sloppy in transition.
“They were scoring in transi-

Chesapeake’s Brendan Mundorf (2) prepares to make a pass during the Bayhawks’ game with Rochester. Mundorf netted a hat-trick in the game, but it
wasn’t enough as the Bayhawks fell 18-8. Chesapeake has now lost six straight games to Rochester dating back to 2014.
tion, and in this league if you keep
giving up transitions, they’re hard
to stop,” said Bayhawks attacker
Brendan Mundorf. “Everyone is so
talented that when a team gets in
transition you can pretty much
count it as a goal.
“John Galloway played well in
net for them. A big turn in the second quarter was when he stopped
three shots and they all led to transitions and goals. That’s where the
turn of events happened,” he said.
The second half started with
the Bayhawks making a 3-1 run to
cut the deficit to 9-8. Rochester
again snaked back into the lead and
extended it to 10-8 going into the
fourth.
In the final quarter, the Rattlers continued to strike relentlessly by scoring seven straight goals
to jump out to a commanding 17-8
lead with four minutes remaining.
They added another late score to
make it 18-8 to win their sixth
straight contest against Chesapeake dating back to 2014.
“I’m pretty embarrassed by
the way we performed here and I
take full responsibility for that,”
Bayhawks Head Coach Brian
Reese said. “We weren’t ready to
compete. Either we didn’t have the
right guys out there or we weren’t
doing the right things, but we’ve
got to fix it in our next bye week
and get ready for our big stretch
coming up here in the next few
weeks.”
Chesapeake enters its bye
week with a 4-3 record before it
faces a daunting schedule, playing
three of the league’s top five teams
in 10 days. The Bayhawks will face
the Boston Cannons (4-4), the Ohio
Machine (6-2) and longtime rival
the league-leading New York
Lizards (5-1) in a stretch that will
shape the playoff landscape.
“We’ve just got to focus,”
Mundorf said. “It’s nothing complicated. We’re running all the
same stuff we’ve been running on
offense and we just weren’t burying the shots or getting great looks
down the stretch, but it’s all about
going out and every guy being
ready to do what he needs to do to
be ready in two weeks.”

County council, state delegates question Metro leaders
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
UPPER MARLBORO – From
the House of Representatives to the
Prince George’s County Council,
Metro leaders are being called to explain the state of affairs at the transit
agency.
The council heard from Metro’s
General Manager Paul Wiedefeld and
Washington Metropolitan Area Tranit Authority (WMATA) board members Malcolm Augustine and Jack
Evans, who serves as the body’s
chair, about the problems facing
Metro. They then took the opportunity to raise issues of their own and offer their own suggestions.
Wiedefeld said in his six months
as general manager, he has discovered many problems, from a lacking
safety and customer service culture to
years of delayed maintenance. He
said he is working to address those issues by changing the structure and

personnel at Metro and, for maintenance, proceeding with SafeTrack, an
ambitious program that will condense three years of maintenance into
just one.
That requires line segment shutdowns and long-term single tracking
to give maintenance workers enough
time on the tracks.
“That is the normal course of
business with a system that is 40
years old; that is past middle age. You
have to take some time to get out on
the tracks,” he said.
Evans focused mostly on the financial burdens faced by the system,
which is looking at a $2.8 billion bill
for new train cars and a $2.5 billion
unfunded pension liability on top of
yearly operating deficits.
As he has in many other forums,
he used the opportunity to push for
the establishment of a dedicated
funding source for Metro.
“We’re the only system in
America that doesn’t have such a
source. We need something like a 1
percent sales tax for Maryland, D.C.
and Virginia in order to fund this system,” Evans said.
Jim Coleman, chief executive
officer of the county’s economic development corporation, disagreed
that there was “no other alternative.”
He said public-private partnerships
between Metro or area governments
and private businesses could also lead
to an influx of money into the system.
“Our economy is better than it
was five years ago, but asking the taxpayers – whether it’s at the federal,
state or county level – to contribute
another $300 million through increased fares, I just don’t think that’s
the way to go when you have billionaires within a 50-mile radius that
would love to take on this opportunity to be a partner with you in helping
to finance this,” he said.
Councilman Todd Turner said
the new funding source would be a
very hard sell without the agency
making improvements to its safety
and reliability reputation.

New grading policy possibly coming to PGCPS
By Candace Rojo Keyes
@candacerojo
UPPER MARLBORO – If new
proposed grading policies come
through for Prince George’s County
Public Schools (PGCPS), it is going
to be a lot harder for students to fail
and impossible for them to get a
‘zero’ on assignments.
PGCPS and the United States
are still seeing struggles with equality
in education as African-American
students statistically continue to fall
behind their Caucasian peers. But,
PGCPS thinks they are cooking up a
good way to even the playing field by
offering further support to struggling
students.
However, that support is not
only rooted in budgeted coaches and
tutors. The school system is considering changing its grading policies to
allow students more time for assignments, more opportunities for make
up work (regardless of excuse for
missing the assignment), and the
school system is also hoping to give
all students a grade of no less than 50
percent on all assignments for “good
faith effort.”
Shawn Joseph, deputy superintendent for teaching and learning,
said the new grading policies are intended to help the most underserved
students in the county.
“In America it is no secret that
we as a nation have had a difficult
time educating our most underserved
children,” he said. “On average,
black students are two to three years
behind their white peers, academically. Almost 70 percent of AfricanAmerican fourth graders cannot read
on grade level.”
Joseph said most parents know
their children are in schools that can
do better by their children and said
most want their schools to be reformed, according to a recent Gates
Foundation study.
As a school district in a minority-majority county, Joseph said
PGCPS has been working for the past
15 years on how they can address
“the achievement gap” amongst their
student population. Joseph said the
achievement gap is directly related to
decreased motivation in students who
feel their schools’ policies are punishing them for being behind.
“We’re not prospering because
of our grading policies, as they are
currently written, because they’re
harsher and stricter than the regions
and their stricter than other large urban school districts,” Joseph said.
The recommendations of revisions to PGCPS grading policies
were developed after a year of fo-

THE PRINCE GEORGE’S SENTINEL
LETTER FROM THE COUNTY EXEC.
Prince George’s County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III released a statement following the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla. over the weekend, described as the worst mass
shooting in American history:
“This morning, America woke up to the news of a horrible mass shooting in a Orlando nightclub that took the
lives of 50 people and injured 53 others is unthinkable. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their
families, as well as the citizens of the city of Orlando and Orange County, Fla. as they deal with the aftermath of
this worst American tragedy. I can only imagine the shock and pain that they are going through.
This senseless act of terror took place in a nightclub where young people were simply enjoying their evening.
This attack is shocking and appears to be an attack on the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender or Questioning
(LGBTQ) community and is compounded by the gunman’s possible connection to ISIS. We must overcome intolerance in this country and accept people for who they are. We have made far too much progress and we must not
let this incident set us back.
Sadly, once again a gun is at the center of this painful moment for this community and our county. If this is not
a clarion call for change I don’t know what is. How many more times do we have to go through tragic moments
like this before we gather the collective courage to put a stop to gun violence? We must have a sobering, serious
and deliberate debate about how we can change this climate of hate and the prevention of gun violence. Fifty lives
lost, 53 people injured and families and communities changed forever. When will enough be enough for us? We
should be far beyond anger and frustration. We should be ready to take action and take it now.”
LETTER FROM THE LIBRARY SYSTEM
Library access for every Prince George’s County student
By Kathleen Teaze
One of the most exciting initiatives to come to Prince George’s County in recent years is LINK, which stands
for Leap Into New Knowledge. As a result of a partnership between the Prince George’s County Memorial Library
System (PGCMLS), Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), the county executive and the county council, every public school student in grades K-12 will now have a library account and free access to all of PGCMLS’
services, both within its 19 branches and digitally.
LINK accounts for students reflect what libraries have become, no longer plastic library cards, but access to
our many services online from anywhere. A student ID number is all a student will need to access all library services. The program kicked off on June 8 with an event at the library branch in Largo-Kettering, just in time for students to sign up for our summer reading program.
This innovative initiative is a no-cost way to remove barriers and give our students throughout the county access to additional resources that will help them to improve educational outcomes. We want to give students access
to the tools that will help them succeed. It has been shown that early readers and library users become lifelong
learners.
Access to the many resources the library has to offer will complement the schools’ resources. Even if parents
have transportation or scheduling difficulties with getting a child to a library branch, the library’s online resources
will be available to students, opening up a whole new digital world that includes homework help, tutoring, reference material, book recommendations by grade, e-books, children and teen movies, magazines and so much more.
Students visiting any one of our branches, in addition to taking out books and using computers within the
branches, will be able to take advantage of the many programs, activities and clubs for children and teens available. To make it even more appealing for parents wanting their children to use the library, there will be no fines for
late or lost books or other fees for students. All library services, including all digital services, are free.
Prince George’s County is unique in the state as we are one of the first counties to launch this initiative allowing every student to use their student ID number to be enrolled in the library-user database. Students wishing
to have an actual library card will be able to receive one by visiting any library branch.
This is the perfect example of what can be accomplished to benefit a community when different agencies
work together. We are very grateful for the support and enthusiasm of both the county executive and county council as well as the PGCPS for partnering with us to ensure that Prince George’s County’s 120,000 school children
will become lifelong library users.
And finally, I would like to encourage all Prince George’s County students to sign up online
(pgcmls.info/summer@yourlibrary) or at a library branch to be part of the library’s summer reading program that
includes books, games, activities and prizes for all ages.
Kathleen Teaze is CEO of the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System, which consists of branches

County opens first Family Justice Center
By Katishi Maake
@katishimaake
UPPER MARLBORO – Domestic violence survivors in the
county will now only have to walk a
few steps following court proceedings to receive the help they need
thanks to the opening of a new Family Justice Center in Upper Marlboro.
Dozens of county officials, representatives and citizens gathered
June 9 for the Family Justice Center’s
ribbon-cutting ceremony and subsequent tour. Creating the new facility
was a seven-year initiative taken on
by Judge Sheila R. Tillerson Adams
and the Prince George’s County Circuit Court, along with many other
collaborators located in the center.
However, Adams noted several
times throughout the ceremony that
stakeholders, including her colleagues on the circuit court, the county council and the Family Justice
Center Task Force Committee,
among others, made this undertaking
possible.
“Every time I went to the county
council, they didn’t ask me, ‘Why
judge?’ They asked me, ‘What can
we do? When is it going to open?
We’re behind you 100 percent,’” she
said.
County Council Chair Derrick
Davis issued a statement that further
expressed his support for the project.
“The council commends the
leadership and commitment of the
Circuit Court for Prince George’s
County, and the Honorable Sheila R.
Tillerson Adams, Administrative
Judge, Prince George’s County and
the Seventh Judicial Circuit, as the
Family Justice Center opens its
doors,” he said. “We all share in the
responsibility to address the unfortunate reality of domestic violence and
assist domestic violence survivors as
they move forward with their lives.
“The new Family Justice Center,
the first of its kind in Prince George’s
County, demonstrates to our friends,
family members and neighbors that
they are not alone. Together we are
working to support families and our
ongoing collective efforts will help
save lives in Prince George’s County.”

Prince George’s County opened its first Family Justice Center on June 9.
The center is intended to give survivors of domestic violence, child abuse,
human trafficking, elder abuse and sexual assault the services necessary
to reconcile their lives.
Located a few yards from the
Circuit Court for Prince George’s
County, the13,000 square-foot building that is the Family Justice Center
looks to bring together services from
19 providers to give survivors of domestic violence, child abuse, human
trafficking, elder abuse and sexual assault the services necessary to reconcile their lives.
While there are many domestic
violence resources in the county,
what separates the Family Justice
Center is that all types of services for
many forms of abuse are all available
in one single location, making it the
first of its type in the county.
Such services include counseling, safety planning, legal assistance
and social services. The center will
begin operations June 27, but County
Executive Rushern Baker III said
there still is an important battle to
fight.
“This is not the end. This is the
beginning. Bricks and mortars will
not solve our problems, humans
will,” he said. “The Family Justice
Center is about us. It’s about our commitment as a county and as a people
to do what God has called us to do,
and that is to make this world better.”
In 2014, a total of 2,083 incidents of domestic violence were re-
ported in Prince George’s County, approximately 1,000 more than in 2011,
according to the state’s 2014 Uniform
Crime Report.
Additionally, Chief Judge on the
Maryland Court of Appeals Mary
Ellen Barbara said last year 31,400
protective order cases were filed in
district and circuit courts across the
state with 6,500 being filed in Prince
George’s, the highest of any county.
“These are sobering numbers
that speak to the level of need for domestic violence victims and their
families,” Barbara said. “We can best
address this need through the Family
Justice Center, which brings together,
in one welcoming and convenient location, all of the resources victims
and their families may require.”
Adams played a vital role in securing the court’s location, which has
many excited because victims will be
able to get the help they need in a convenient location with a welcoming,
comforting atmosphere.
“Each (center partner) is so important in making sure we make a difference in the lives of these citizens,
but more importantly, change the way
we think about domestic violence and
violence and in this community.
Change it so that we can eradicate it,”
Adams said.

County council, state delegates question Metro leaders
From “Metro” page E-1
“We need to prove to those that
fund this organization that this organization is capable of performing the
way we expect it to and the way it has
in the past. I think, to get that buy-in
both by the governor and by the General Assembly, we have to be able to
prove that,” he said.
Several members of the General
Assembly attended the briefing and
made their voices heard as well.
Delegate Tony Knotts (D-26)
questioned the high fares charged by
Metro and asked if they would be cut
during SafeTrack work.
Evans said that was something
the board was looking at in the longer
term, and said, speaking as a citizen,
he thought fees should change permanently.
“On the fee structure, I will give
you my own personal opinion. I don’t
like our fee structure right now. It
makes no sense. People can’t even
figure out when you’re in these suburban jurisdictions how much you
have to pay. And so we need to reform that structure,” he said.
Delegate Erek Barron (D-24)
asked hard questions about the proposal developed jointly by Maryland,
Virginia and D.C. to set up a Metro
Safety Commission as required by
law and whether the current draft
would be effective.
Specifically, Barron wanted to
know about the possibility of moving
Metro’s Office of the Inspector General under the authority of the new
safety commission. He said the
agency itself has not been utilizing
the inspector general appropriately.
“In the IG’s office, one, there
have been reports that the office has
caught, but hasn’t been acted on. The
office is underfunded, it’s understaffed,” he said.
Evans said the board was look-
ing at reforming that office and welcomed Barron’s suggestion.
“The Inspector General, in my
view, has not performed in the manner I would have hoped,” he said.
“We need to beef up the office and
maybe your suggestion is a good
one.”
But Barron wasn’t done, pivoting to the larger issues of Metro’s
government and finances already
brought up by Evans and Wiedefeld.
He said they could impact the approval of the commission as well.
“There are many who believe a
new compact for a Metro Safety
Commission is really much ado about
nothing if it doesn’t include changes
in governance and financing. I’m
wondering if our GM has a response
to that,” he said.
Wiedefeld responded that those
issues are important, but were better
addressed separately from the issue
of the compact.
“In terms of a larger compact
change, I think that’s more into the
future as the Council of Governments’ effort proceeds because that’s
where you’re going to have to get into
some of those thornier issues. But I
think it’s important for us to keep the
focus on getting the commission set
up as quickly as possible,” he said.
Evans added that in his role as a
D.C. councilman, he would lead the
effort to get the measure passed there.
“I am committed for the District
of Columbia to introducing the legislation at our July 12 meeting. No matter what shape it’s in, I’m introducing
it,” he said.
His fellow board member, Augustine, focused on the development
side of Metro and how the agency is
trying to leverage itself in order to
bring more economic development
projects to the areas around Metrorail
stations in Prince George’s County, as
has happened in Montgomery Coun-
ty and Washington, D.C.
He acknowledged the stations in
Prince George’s are almost all underdeveloped, partly due to the number
of parking spaces required. He is
working to reduce that requirement.
“One of the challenges we have
found in Prince George’s County is a
practice, not a policy, but a practice at
WMATA of requiring one-for-one replacement of parking spaces. Parking
spaces are very expensive. It often
makes the projects untenable,” he
said.
But Councilwoman Andrea
Harrison objected to the reduction.
“Everyone is not going to live on
top of a Metro. Everyone is not going
to be walking distance to a Metro.
Some people are going to have to drive to get there. As it is now, it’s very
difficult to park at many of our Metro
stations,” she said. “Whether we like
it or not, this is still basically a suburban community with urban pockets.”
New grading policy possibly coming to county school system
From “Grading” page E-1
cused study on the policies, best practices and other school system’s approaches. In a presentation to the
board during a budget work session
last week, Joseph and his team presented 13 recommended changes and
alterations to the current grading policies.
Some of the recommendations
build off of current polices or reinforce them, such as recommendation
nine, which states “teachers and
schools shall maintain records of student progress” and further emphasizes it is expected for teachers to
“enter student working into the electronic grade book.”
The recommendations, however, also give increased leniency to students, as a number of the recommendations suggest a softer method of
grading. Those suggestions include
teachers assigning quarter grades of
no less than 50 percent for the first
three quarters; not allowing behavior
to be used as a grading factor; not allowing absence or tardiness to be a
grading factor; requiring teachers to
allow makeup work, regardless of the
reason for absence; teachers must
give grades of no less than 50 percent
on all assignments for good faith effort; students have a chance for their
failing grades to be “thoroughly evaluated” if the teacher believes they
have made significant progress
throughout the grading period; and
students shall have an additional opportunity to improve score through a
qualifying assessment or project,
which demonstrates knowledge of
content.
Other recommendations include
more frequent parent conferences,
teachers providing a course syllabus
to students and parents at the beginning of the year, and increased principal responsibility for ensuring grading policies are applied consistently
within the schools.
Gorman Brown, principal of
Charles H. Flowers High School, was
one of the members of the team
charged with finding recommendations and changes to the policy. He
said many of the proposed changes
stem from a desire to assist students
who struggle with transitions into
new schools, grades or classes and to
assist students who do not learn at the
same pace as their peers or the pace
the course work dictates.
“Recording a zero on a 100point scale for a student’s lack of
work on an assessment not only falsifies the report of what he or she
knows, but also immediately generates despair,” Brown said. “Only a
mammoth pile of perfect 100s can
overcome the deficient and a result in
a passing D grade. So why bother?”
While Brown said there is a desire to provide assistance to students
and “even the playing field,” and
many board members supported the
changes, he said there has been pushback from educators, administrators
and parents in regard to some of those
recommendations.
Theresa Dudley, the president of
Prince George’s County Educator’s
Association (PGCEA), is one of
those who voiced concerns about the
changes, and she spoke during public
comment at the board meeting last
week.
She said she was thankful for
school system administration reviewing the grading policies, but said
members of her union had numerous
concerns with the recommendations.
She said nearly 2,000 of her 10,000
teachers responded to a PGCPS survey about the changes.
“Some of the responses have
been favorable; however, there are
several critical areas where student
accountability for work product and
behavior are an issue and the view
that a grading system for elementary,
middle and high school must address
the issues unique to each level,” Dudley said.
Behavior often factors into assessment for pre-kindergarten,
kindergarten and other early child-
hood education classes, while attendance at the high school level often
factors into what the student is learning, and tardiness disrupts classrooms, she said.
Dudley expressed concerns
with seemingly foggy areas of the
changes, including the requirement
of 10 extra days to turn in late assignments.
“Would that be 20 extra days for
classes that don’t meet every day?”
she asked.
Brown said it is 10 school days,
regardless of class schedule.
She also said she doesn’t feel
giving students so much leeway is
preparing them for life and college
where deadlines are not as lenient.
“Is your name on a paper ‘good
faith?’ How is this making students
college and career ready when we’re
not teaching the basic skills of being
timely with your work?” she asked.

Prince George’s County looking to
replace ‘outdated’ zoning ordinance
By Ajoya Long
Special to The Sentinel
LAUREL – Prince George’s
County residents and other individuals with an interest in the area are
working to create new and improved community development
through rewriting the county’s zoning laws.
The county’s current zoning ordinance is considered outdated in
comparison to other jurisdictions’
zoning ordinances that are more
modernized. The Prince George’s
County Planning Department of the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission (MNCPPC) proposes a working
rewrite draft of the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations.
These laws define how land in certain geographic areas can be used.
“We need to replace the zoning
ordinance with one that works for
Prince George’s County,” said Chad
Williams, who is serving as the department’s project manager..
Under his leadership, The
Prince George’s County Planning
Department staff led a community
learning session at the LaurelBeltsville Community Senior Center on June 9, with presentations in
other communities from June 7-9. It
was the third and final session in
which local residents and people
from the surrounding area were able
to meet with the zoning rewrite project team to learn more information
and voice their input and concerns.
The county planning department hired Clarion Associates, a national land-use consulting firm, to
provide professional guidance and
recommendations for the rewrite.
The firm specializes in community
planning, zoning, design standards,
historic preservation, impact fees,
growth management, and sustainability, according to its website.
With a total of three modules
that serve as outlines for the zone
rewrite, module 1, which covered
zones and use regulations, was presented last October. During last
week’s meeting, module 2 was discussed, which covered development
standards and public facility adequacy. Specific proposals in module
2 included neighborhood compatibility standards, transportation adequacy, pedestrian and bicycle connectivity and sustainable and green
development standards.
Following module 3, which
will be presented in July and will
cover administration and related
provisions in relation to figuring out
who will need to approve the
changes, the new zoning code will
be tested to ensure it is easy enough
to earn approval for the kind of development desired by the public in
the places supported by Plan Prince
George’s 2035. It is the blueprint for
where and how the county grows
over the next 20 years, according to
the Zoning Prince George’s County
website.
Generally, eight key projects
will be tested, including a mix of actual projects that will be assessed
for recommended changes and open
discussion of other ideas about future projects.
After testing, the team will deliver a comprehensive review of the
draft zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations. Adoption and implementation of the new ordinance
and regulations is expected to be
achieved by 2017.
The zoning rewrite project was
first announced in August 2014,
which prompted ongoing public outreach and input. The ultimate goal is
to create a zoning ordinance that fits
the 21st century way of life that will
ultimately increase economic
growth and strengthen the quality of
life for current and future residents,
according to Derick Berlage, chief
of the M-NCPPC Prince George’s
County Planning Department.
In Prince George’s County, the
current zoning ordinance was written more than 50 years ago and is
more than 1,000 pages long. It is
deemed overly complex and said to
make land development a costly and
time consuming endeavor. The current ordinance also contains some
inconsistencies that make it difficult
for business developers and private
and public investors to adhere to and
understand those rules.
“I think it’s long overdue,”
Christopher Hensely, the general
manager at Victoria Falls Community Association Inc., said. “We are the
prime example of having a zoning
ordinance that is wrong.”
The project team and the Prince
George’s County Planning Board
also encouraged those in attendance
to attend the upcoming town hall
meeting scheduled to take place inside Eleanor Roosevelt High School
at 7601 Hanover Pkwy in Greenbelt
on July 12 from 7-9 p.m. The purpose of the meeting is to collaborate
ideas on how to build a foundation
for stronger neighborhoods and economic development.
The county zoning rewrite’s
website has an open comment section where people can browse,
download and comment on draft
documents. Those who are interested in using this feature will first have
to set up an account online.

Public input sought on Trails Master Plan
By Emily Blackner
@emilyblackner
RIVERDALE – The county
wants public input to help determine if it is on the right path with
its trails master plan.
At a public meeting held June
7, representatives from Toole Design Group, which has been hired
by the county to complete the
trails plan, presented information
about the plan, how it was formulated and the next steps in an effort to inform the public and get
their input on the biggest trail
needs in Prince George’s County.
“This is how these things begin and this is how you build a
wonderful trail system. It starts
with meetings in rooms like this
and maps like these,” said Jeffrey
Ciabotti, senior planner at Toole
Design Group.
The new plan classifies trails
into three categories: primary
trails, which are paved and are the
main arteries that would be used
for transportation; secondary
trails, which connect to or branch
off from primary trails and would
be used for both transportation
and recreation; and recreational
trails, which are largely unpaved
and reserved for hiking, mountain
biking, horseback riding and similar activities and would have no
real transportation function.
The goal is to add 293 miles
of primary, 399 miles of secondary and 102.5 miles of recreational trails to the total 334.8
miles of trails already in the county. That mileage would mean 90
percent or more of the county’s
population would live within onehalf mile of a trail.
“The vision is all-encompassing. The bar is set high in terms of
exactly what a trail system is supposed to deliver, but I don’t think
it is set unrealistically,” Ciabotti
said.
The planners discovered that
the trails currently in existence
are clustered in just two of nine
trail districts they mapped out.
“There’s definitely an imbal-
ance in the current distribution of
trails throughout the county,” Bob
Patten, an associate senior planner, said.
Seventy-three percent of the
proposed new trails in the plan are
in park areas that are currently underserved.
The plan also contains 38
“desire lines,” which are not as
fully fleshed out as the other trail
plans but show where trails might
be located after more research is
conducted. Patten said they “represent ideas from the public or
various stakeholder groups that
we didn’t want to discard.”
The plan also contains ideas
for how to make all of the county’s trails, whether they currently
exist or not, more effective at connecting the region. These include
adding more midblock crossings,
bridges and other means to cross
roadways, standardizing wayfinding signs, and designing the features of the trail itself.
“Oftentimes, the trail system
will be connected to the parking
lot or to the park and planning
(department-owned) facility, but
it won’t connect to the neighborhood that’s on the other side,”
Patten said. “We tried to illustrate
some design principles to help the
trail system be more thoroughly
connected.”
The plan also calls for more
intense staff training on trail
maintenance, as well as a pilot
program, to determine the best
ways to manage trails as a transportation system, including lighting, data collection, hours of access and how they will be cleared
of snow.
Staff said there were a few
reasons for formulating a master
plan for trails in the county.
“There was an overwhelming
demand from the public saying
we want more trails, we want
them everywhere. This was represented in a very verifiable survey”
as part of the Plan 2040 process,
Ciabotti said.
The plan will also help to increase that enthusiasm as more
people see the positives trail connectivity would bring to their
community.
“The whole idea is to really
elevate the idea of trails as not
just side thoughts or secondary
thoughts in community development, but really priority assets for
every community,” he said.
Heather Deutsch, another senior planner, said trails have provable economic benefits for the region.
“The economic impacts include increased quality of life and
a more competitive county. People want to move and businesses
want to move where there’s a
high-quality of life and where
there are a lot of trails,” she said.
“As the trail system grows there’s
a lot of opportunity for growth
here.”
Patten added that having a
plan means the county is better
able to work with partners like developers, utilities, the State Highway Administration and others in
building the trails as they do other
work in the area.
“There are many trails that
are proposed along roadways,
many trails that are proposed in
areas of the county that haven’t
fully developed, and that’s so the
county has the opportunity to get
developers or road improvement
agencies or any possible stakeholders to help build the trails
when those development ideas
come along,” he said.
Enlisting partners will save
the county money. But the planners did say the plan recommends
coming up with a consistent, dedicated funding source for the trails
the county itself will need to build
and then maintain.
The complete draft of the
trails master plan is available online at www.pgparks.com/TrailsMasterPlan.html. The public is
encouraged to view the draft and
give input into their priorities for
implementation, as well as ideas
for how the plan could be improved. Public feedback will be
accepted until June 23.

Book releases new details on
four-year-old murder case
By Jim Davis
Special to The Sentinel
KETTERING – It has been four
years since a masked gunman kicked
in the door of a Kettering house and
shot and killed 17-year old Amber
Stanley.
Now, homicide detectives from
Prince George's County may finally
have a suspect.
On August 26, 2012, Stanley,
who was a honor student who attended Charles H. Flowers High School
with dreams of going to college, was
home with her sister and a foster child
when she was gunned down by a
man. Soon after the shooting, detectives went door-to-door asking if anyone had seen anything or had any information about the fatal shooting.
For the next several days, police
and cadets searched the neighborhood for any type of evidence, but
nothing was found.
Former Police Chief Mark Magaw later promised Stanley’s death
would be solved and someone would
be arrested. Since then, the case has
gone unsolved despite detectives saying they are still working, although
the suspects they had have been eliminated.
“It seems like the police are not
doing anything about my sister's
death,” said Amber’s sister, who did
not want her name mentioned. “We
call and they have nothing to tell us.
We need to move on, but it’s hard.”
Irma Gaither, Stanley’s mother,
has had to deal with the lack of closure and her frustration continues to
grow with each passing day.
“I am frustrated with the police,”
Gaither said. “We asked them to attend what would have been my
daughter’s graduation and pass out
flyers, but they refused. They never
keep me informed of what is happening. I just wish someone will tell me
something. I lost my daughter.”
After four years, there is now
new information in Stanley's murder
case. The information did not come
from homicide detectives, but from a
new book called “A Good Month for
Murder” by Del Quentin Wilber.
Wilber is an American journalist who
was allowed to follow detectives during the time of Stanley's death.
On June 7, 2016, Capt. Brian
Reilly of the county police department's homicide unit revealed some
of the details that were in the book.
According to Reilly, the gunman
shot the first person he saw, which
was Stanley, who was inside standing
by the front door while her sister was
in the basement and the foster child
was in the kitchen. After being shot in
the arm, she ran up the steps to her
bedroom. The gunman then followed
her and shot her multiple times,
killing her, and then fled the scene.
A few days before her death, the
foster child who was living with
Stanley’s family had been sexually
assaulted. Detectives believe the
masked gunman was out for the foster child after the man viewed a threat
that was posted on the child's Facebook page. Detectives believe the
threat was aimed at her attacker and
now gave detectives a theory – the
man had come back to the house
looking for the foster child but found
Stanley instead.
“DNA was recovered from the
foster child’s clothing, which
matched a suspect in February 2013
who is in custody on another charge,”
Reilly said. “He was questioned
about the homicide and we definitely
call him a suspect in this case, but at
this point, we do not have enough to
charge him. But he is somebody we
are looking into very strongly.”
Despite the case still being unsolved nearly four years later, Gaither
finds some solace in the fact that the
police are still working toward finding the murderer.
“Even though they have not
been in contact with me, I'm glad they
are still working on the case,” she
said. “I always thought it was a mistake – the killing of my daughter.
“I'm glad they got somebody,
but I want it to be carried out all the
way to the end. I want a conviction to
know that this is the person who did
this.”

Hyattsville homeowners fight for
space with residential parking petition
By Candace Rojo Keyes

Arts
All in the
HYATTSVILLE – With the
possibility of a new residential
parking zone on 41st Avenue, Farragut and Gallatin streets, tensions
are rising between homeowners and
apartment dwellers in the city of
Hyattsville.
Last week, the Hyattsville City
Council held a public hearing on
the possible addition of residential
parking zones in an area of Hyattsville where residents gathered
enough signatures to file a petition.
Twenty-two residents from 13
addresses signed a petition in early
April to have the city consider designating a portion of 41st Avenue,
the 4100 block of Farragut and the
4100 block of Gallatin streets, as
requiring residential parking permits at all times, meaning no one
can park on those streets without a
purchased or visitor’s parking pass.
“Due to the overwhelming increase in the number of vehicles accessing the Top of the Park apartment complex, Justice Center visitors and (Route) 1 business
customers, parking spaces for the
homeowners on these streets have
been greatly reduced, and the
amount of litter left behind by such
non-residents has increased significantly,” the petition reads.
The petition continues on to
list numerous complaints about the
parking availability in the neighborhood, potential dangers of
crowded streets and trash allegedly
left behind by non-homeowners.
Although the petition includes
Gallatin Street, not a single resident
of that street signed the petition,
which was a complaint, among
many, of residents at the public
hearing last week.
Marialis Zmuda, who lives on
Gallatin, said it was a surprise to
her that her street was included in
the petition and said she hasn’t
heard any interest from her neighbors in creating a residential parking zone.
“This was a complete surprise
to see this, to see that we were included in this. I ask that we be removed,” Zmuda said.
At the public hearing, residents
filled the council chambers to oppose the possible residential parking zone. Residents from Top of the
Park apartments came out in droves
to voice their feelings of injustice if
parking near the complex were to
be restricted.
Sherry Wilder, who lives in the
complex, said residents of Top of
the Park already have few parking
options, as two of the three sides of
the complex have no street parking.
By creating a parking zone, the
city would force apartment
dwellers to park further into the
neighborhoods, increasing the
walking distance and time and creating safety hazards, Wilder said.
“When you’re thinking about
restricting the parking, you’re talking about displacing your neighbors,” Wilder said.
The petition given to the city
speaks of homeowner rights and
hardships faced by homeowners,
calling for only residents to be able
to park on the streets, but many of
the residents from Top of the Park,
including Wilder, emphasized that
although they live in apartments,
they are residents as well.
Kia Murray, the property manager at Top of the Park and a resident of the complex, said the petition specifically pits homeowners
against apartment residents and
gives off the feeling that apartment
dwellers are transient in the city –
that they are less than homeowners.
But Murray said her residents
are not transient and they’re not going anywhere.
“Some of these residents have
been in my community for five, 10,
20 (years). The oldest term resident
has lived at Top of the Park – August
17 will make 45 years she’s lived in
the same apartment,” she said.
Murray emphasized that Top of
the Park residents pay taxes, their
children go to the same schools as
home owners, take part in the same
city activities and said they deserve
the same rights and access as any
other residents.
Despite numerous complaints
from Top of the Park residents, Dennis Breen, the spouse of one of the
petition writers and the only speaker
in favor of the parking zone, said the
petition writers had no intention of
restricting apartment dwellers from
parking.
“If the petition was poorly
worded to imply that we thought the
people living in the Top of the Park
apartments were not residents of
Hyattsville, well that was an error in
writing, not the intention,” Breen
said.
While Breen read statements
from his neighbors who could not
attend the meeting, he said the intention of the petition was to eliminate parking options for out of state,
non-residents, which he said have
been parking in the neighborhood.
The city is currently holding a
study to assess the need for a residential parking zone in the area and
the city administrator will submit a
recommendation at the July 18
council meeting.

High school students think creatively, honor black innovators
By Andrea Blackstone
@andreablackston
BRENTWOOD – It is not every
day that 13 high school students have
the opportunity to showcase their artwork in a museum while honoring
the contributions of Black innovators
who have shaped the world.
But after participating in a program called Culture Keepers, the
artistic works created by high school
students from Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr.
and Northwestern High Schools were
unveiled for public viewing.
An exhibition opening reception
was held at the Prince George’s
African American Museum and Cultural Center (PGAAMCC) in North
Brentwood on June 2. Artworks created by Northwestern students from
mixed media and hand-collage techniques covered cream and purple
walls. Wise’s students worked in
pairs to make self-published works in
an intentionally archaic medium
called zines to compare the works of
innovative Black musicians and poets. These self-publications of beliefs,
thoughts or art were popular in the
1980s and 1990s before blogs and
websites could be utilized.
Although finished zines, which
is short for ‘fanzine’ and are self-published works of original or appropriated texts and images usually reproduced via photocopier, were stacked
on a coffee table and viewable in
frames on a wall, students such as 16year-old Asia Jones and 15-year-old
Sydnee Wallace were busy making
them at a table to illustrate the
process. Jones said the little booklets
could include topics creators want to
explore, such as social justice, mental
health or something fun.
“I pretty much learned how to
make (zines) and how you can manipulate anything, because at first I
really didn’t know that you could turn
a simple thing like cutting and copying into nice art,” Jones said. “Also
print making can be really important
in making a zine and any form of art.
It motivated me to be more creative in
the ways I use my everyday objects
like a scanner, a printer, my computer
even.”

On June 2, an exhibition reception was held at the Prince George’s African American Museum and Cultural Center for students who attend Dr. Henry A.
Wise, Jr. and Northwestern High Schools. The participants volunteered to complete a program called Culture Keepers, while honoring the contributions
of Black innovators. Professional artists mentored the students who created self-published works and artworks created from mixed media and handcollage techniques.
Laura Perez, director of education and programs at PGAAMCC,
explained that teaching artists, Adrienne Gaither and Kyrae Cowan,
guided students who participated in
the after-school program.
“We’re currently at two high
schools, and the program allows the
students to become teachers and researchers of Black art, history and
culture,” Perez said. “So throughout
the year, (Culture Keepers) participate in discussions, research, art projects and all of it culminates at a final
event, so their work is being showcased as an exhibition here, Exploring Black Innovation.”
John Ceschini, the arts integration officer for Prince George’s
County Public Schools (PGCPS), explained this marks the second year
PGCPS has partnered with PGAAMCC to offer programs for Pre-K to
12th graders.
“We help fund this program, and
not only Culture Keepers, but also
Early Keepers, which is the primary
grades, and then Museum-In-A-Box.
They actually come to our schools
and bring artifacts from Prince
George’s County,” Ceschini said.
He also mentioned several benefits of having these programs that are
offered during the school year.
“It’s fantastic because it gives
students an opportunity. Like today’s
theme is innovation and it gives students the opportunity to innovate,
which they might not have in their
regular classroom. So it’s an after
school support for the programs that
are occurring in any school,” Ceschini said, while also noting the value of
the arts. “I think the arts are good for
art’s sake, but they also contribute to
problem solving skills, collaborative
skills and cross cultural understanding. All of those things are supported
by the arts and they’re necessary.”
Sen. Joanne Benson and Del.
Diana Fennell came to the museum to
support the students and to see their
completed projects. PGAAMCC is
within an area represented by Fennell, who recalls touring the site of
the museum when it was just a vision
years ago. Back then, Lillian Beverly
was mayor of North Brentwood. Fennel said she is pleased that students
now have a venue to creatively channel their energy and become cultural
ambassadors. She is also seeing more
artistic interest emerge in the area.
“People and young adults are
expressing themselves more through
art, especially being in the Arts District. It’s been really phenomenal. It is
growing and I love it,” Fennell said.
Chanel Compton, the newly appointed executive director of
PGAAMCC, added that students
who participate in Culture Keepers
are mentored by professional artists
of African descent within Prince
George’s County. These students can
learn about local African-American
history and how it connects nationally, and even internationally, with the
Black experience.
“They learn culturally and socially relevant topics that aren’t necessarily explored in the classroom,”
Compton said. “They’re nurtured
into cultural and community ambassadors for the Black arts and cultural
community. We’re excited we have
the opportunity to nurture a new generation of innovators, creators, and I
can’t say this enough, as cultural ambassadors.
“These are the future generations that will run their own arts organizations, that will run their own museums, that will run their own businesses that support the arts and
cultural community, because we have
to keep it alive and thriving. We have
to preserve history. At the same time,
we have to make a new history as
well.”

ongoing relationship, or to reach a mutually agreeable solution to a single
dispute, without trial. She uses mediation, arbitration and settlement conferences successfully for conflict involving personal injury (including auto

elder law, ethics, collections, contracts and other civil matters.

Kirk Cousins’ confidence is high, offense looking solid
By Daniel Kucin Jr.
Sports Editor
ASHBURN, Va. – Washington
Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins
was all smiles on June 8 after he
hooked up with some new and familiar faces as he hit nearly every
throw in his progression.
The fifth-year signal caller has
every reason to be happy after Washington acquired more offensive
weapons for his disposal this offseason.
Rookie wide receiver Josh
Doctson did not participate in the
scheduled workout due to soreness
in his foot, and DeSean Jackson was
a healthy scratch. However, former
University of Maryland tight end
Vernon Davis looked sharp and
seemed to find the same rhythm he
had during his heyday in San Francisco.
“(Cousins) is obviously playing
with a lot of confidence, having a lot
of fun,” said Redskins Head Coach
Jay Gruden. “He’s got great command of the offense, that’s the one
thing you notice. He’s got great
command over the formations, he’s
got great command on the snap
count. That’s something he didn’t so
much have the first year I was here
and even last year during this time.
“But when you get command of
the little things, it makes the big
things a lot easier and he’s seeing
things a lot better – concepts versus
different coverage – he’s doing a
good job. He’s doing well.”
Cousins also had the pleasure
of getting to work with tight end
Niles Paul, who is returning from a
season-ending ankle injury. Paul
quickly acclimated himself in the rotation, which also included the likes
of Logan Paulsen. Time will tell if
there will be a log jam in the depth
chart after resigning Jordan Reed to
a long-term contract, along with the
acquisition of Davis. However, that
seems to be a good problem to have
after the position was depleted due
to injury just a season ago.
“I think it will definitely help.
Niles and Logan especially have an
experience with him,” said Offensive Coordinator Sean McVay. “I’ve
been very pleased with what they
have been able to do so far. And Vernon is a guy that when you watch
what he has accomplished over the
course of his career, he has compet-
ed very well in both phases.
“Any time you are able to add
and have three tight ends that you
feel good about running behind at
the point of attack…that’s something that is comforting for us. Especially when you look at what we
were dealing with last year and the
injuries. I do think that hurt us and
our ability to run the ball.”
Washington added some youthful depth to its backfield as well with
the likes of Mack Brown, Keith Marshall and Robert Kelley. Although
Matt Jones is projected to be the day
one starter, the Redskins’ coaching
staff appears to be happy with what
they have seen so far. Jones will have
another year to show the NFL what
he is made of after rushing for 490
yards and three touchdowns while
splitting time with former workhorse
Alfred Morris.
“You’re seeing a much more
matured player,” McVay said about
Jones' development. “I’ve been extremely encouraged with him – his
understanding of where he fits in
protections, consistency in his
tracks. It is a little bit harder to evaluate that position, because you can’t
tackle guys to the ground and you

can’t really account for a bigger
back like him where it looks like he
might be tackled in the hole, but he’s
able to fall forward and get some extra yards. He’s done a great job so far
and we’re very encouraged.”
DeMatha graduates Peterson, Ferry get NBA promotions
By Brandy L. Simms
@bls1969
Former DeMatha basketball
standout Jeff Peterson has been
named Assistant General Manager of
the Atlanta Hawks.
Peterson was promoted to Director of Scouting before the start of
this season and served as the team’s
Scout and Coordinator of Basketball
Operations prior to that assignment.
He joined the Hawks organization in
2012 as a seasonal assistant.
In his new role, Peterson will
participate in all areas of day-to-day
management and will continue to
oversee the Hawks’ scouting process.
Per team policy, terms of the agreement were not announced.
“Jeff has been an integral part of
our front office over the past few seasons,” Hawks General Manager Wes
Wilcox said in a statement. “In that
time, he has demonstrated the ability
to identify players who fit our culture
and system and build meaningful relationship across the world of basketball while continuing to learn the
complexities of team-building in the
NBA. Jeff has a bright future in the
NBA and we would like to congratulate Jeff on this opportunity.”
Peterson, a 2007 DeMatha graduate, was the team captain and named
the Stags’ Most Valuable Player during his senior campaign at the Hyattsville private school. He averaged
13.9 points, 7.7 assists, 3.4 rebounds
and 1.8 steals in leading DeMatha to
a 33-6 record and a third consecutive
Washington Catholic Athletic Conference championship.
The All-WCAC first team performer graduated with a 3.98 grade
point average and was positioned in
the top 5 percent of his class academically in 2007.
Meanwhile, Danny Ferry, a
1985 DeMatha graduate and former
Atlanta Hawks General Manager,
was named as a special advisor to the
New Orleans Pelicans.
Ferry has 25 years of NBA experience as both a player and front office executive. Prior to a three-year
stint with the Hawks, Ferry spent two
years with the San Antonio Spurs
where he held the role of Vice President of Basketball Operations. From
2005-10, Ferry served as General
Manager of the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Under Ferry’s guidance, the Cavs advanced to the 2007 NBA Finals for
the first time in franchise history.

Mike ‘Yes Indeed’ Reed remains undefeated with TKO
By Ron Harris
@DCRonski
NEW YORK CITY – Undefeated Mike Reed (19-0, 11 KO’s)
fought his second fight at the Theater at Madison Square Garden on
National Puerto Rican Day.
The Waldorf native scored a
6th round TKO over Abraham
Cordero (13-3-1) of Mexico.
Cordero had a five-and-a-half inch
reach advantage over the shortarmed Reed, but could not take advantage of it.
“I had to adjust to his long
reach,” Reed said. “Once I figured
out how to get close, I was able to
do some damage.”
Cordero’s jab was effective
for most of round one- that is, until Reed landed three straight left
hands and knocked Cordero into
the ropes. The referee called it a
knock down and issued an eightcount.
“I felt his power and I knew
he could not hurt me,” Reed said.
“I was going for the knock out as I
always do. Fans like to see a fighter on his back.”
Cordero, 21, did not have the
strength to keep Reed, 23, off of
him. Reed moved better in this
fight than previous fights, skillfully moving his head and upper
body, and never gave Cordero any
good angles to hit him effectively.
Reed did have some eye issues though and constantly
blinked and put his gloves near the
right eye throughout the fight.
“It was something I felt in
camp,” Reed said. “I don’t know
what it was. I had a stinging in the
eye. It wasn’t closed or anything
and I could see clearly. I will have
it checked out when I get home.”
Reed is known for his hard
body shots, but he was head hunting for most of the fight.
“I had a good jab working
with my overhand left, but I
couldn’t get to the body until
round six,” Reed said.
In that last round, Reed got
close to Cordero and threw some
wicked shots to the body. The one
that closed out the fight was described by Reed as a “stab punch.”
“It’s between a hook and a
jab,” he said. “When I saw his
hands go down to protect that
area, I knew the fight was over.”
The ringside doctor quickly
gave the referee, Johnny Callas,
the signal to stop the fight at 2:29
of the sixth round.
With his victory, Reed is focusing on his overall goals for
2016.
“Fight a 10-round fight and to

Prince George’s County summer basketball already heating up
By Traevon Benjamin
@GoatEnterprises
COLLEGE PARK – The University of Maryland hosted a basketball camp and games over the
weekend. Here are some takeaways
from some of the county’s teams.
Hammond comes up big
for the Crusaders
Riverdale Baptist rising senior
guard Deion Hammond was clearly
the best player in this contest, as he
scored a game-high 21 points in a
55-36 win over Eleanor Roosevelt.
Riverdale led the whole game,
but Hammond started off especially
strong by knocking down back-toback threes. Big man Cyril Ogbuagu had an impressive performance, too. He finished with 16
points and snagged several strong
rebounds.
Rising sophomore Ayan Teel
was also an impact player for the
Crusaders on the defensive end by
causing turnovers and coming up
with key steals to get out in transition.
“I think we will get along really
well,” Hammond said. “We still
have a lot of work to do, so we’re
coming together slowly.”
Roosevelt senior Augustine
Okafor finished with 12 points and
10 boards in his double-double performance.
Rising from the ranks of junior
varsity to varsity, Barly Kanu got
off to a quick start by knocking
down two three-pointers and he got
to the rim in transition, as did junior
guard Jaden Faulkner.
“We have a lot to improve on,
especially our help side defense.
And we need to improve on our rebounding efforts,” Faulkner said
Okafor offered some insight as
well.
“I mean, team chemistry is the
key, and if we find our shooters in
transition and transition back on defense, we will be fine,” he said. “I
need to improve on my offensive
aggression going into next season.”
Look for Perry Hall to
make some noise
Rising senior guard James Rider played well for Perry Hall, scoring a game-high 20 points in helping his team earn a 47-32 victory
over Bishop McNamara.
Rider was one of the top threepoint shooters in Baltimore last year
and he showed the crowd that on
Saturday with a great shooting performance. Rider knocked down
three shots from beyond the arch.
Both teams played the transition game really well. McNamara’s
front court was headlined by the
“Twin Towers” Makhi and Makhel
Mitchell. The twins combined for
15 points and nine rebounds.
“We need to do a better job at
running our offense and doing a better job of defending in transition,”
said McNamara sophomore BJ
Joyner. “All of my coaches tell me I
will be having a big role next sea-
son. I have to be more aggressive
offensively and be able to guard
more positions defensively.”
Teammate Darryn Hylton
talked about his upcoming sophomore season as well.
“Going into my first year of
varsity, I feel like I need to work on
my ability to defend high caliber
guards, and my ability to knock
down shots will be key for me also,”
he said.
Capitol Beltway/WCAC
Matchup
Bishop O’Connell rallied to defeat Capitol Christian 74-50. Rising
junior Nate Watson came up huge
for O’Connell after he recorded a
double-double for the Knights and
was nearly impossible to defend.
Watson holds an offer from the
University of Maryland. He had a
chance to play in front of the coaches he was familiar with and he
shined.
The guard play between senior
Matt Lewis and junior Xavier Johnson will be fun to watch, as both of
these guards are relentless at getting
to the rim, and it showed in Saturday’s game against Capitol Christian.
On the other side, sophomore
Judah Jordan played exceptionally
well for Capitol Christian by scoring 15 points. Jordan knocked down
shots from all over the court and
created plays for his teammates by
getting into the gaps and attacking.
Another guy whose name has
yet to be mentioned, Kenneth Tyree
from Capitol Christian, also played
well. Tyree has a great burst of explosion when he’s headed to the rim.
Capitol Christian should be a
fun team to watch next season as all
the returning players and new additions should mesh together well.
“As a whole, I feel we need to
improve on our team defense and
our offensive structure,” Jordan
said. “Chemistry is always a plus, so
as the season goes on that will come
along.”

Skins’ cheerleaders host third annual Burgundy and Gold game
By Sean Farrell
@Sean_PGSSports
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The
colors burgundy and gold are usually seen together in the Redskins’
uniforms, but on Sunday they were
on opposing sides of the ball - but
for a good cause.
The Washington Redskins
cheerleaders and My Lifestyle, LLC
hosted their third annual charity
Burgundy and Gold Game on Sunday, June 12, at Woodrow Wilson
High School.
The Redskins cheerleaders
teamed up with the Women of
Washington (WOW) and the D.C.
Divas. The two teams consisted of
42 women from all three organizations while Redskins legends Doug
Williams and Gary Clark served as
the coaches with the help of current
Redskins player Houston Bates and
NFL alumni John Booty as assistant
coaches.
“Women of Washington, the
Washington Redskins and the Divas
and all the people involved did a
great job and it was a great game,”
Clark said. “It was for a great cause
and a good turnout and I was happy
to be a part of it. They all came out
with the founders of the charity and
did a good job putting on such a
great function, and anytime you do
something with the Washington
Redskins it’s going to be a great
event.”
The Women of Washington
have grown into the largest
women’s program in the entire NFL
with more than 120,000 members
signing on since the program was
founded in 2011. Their mission is to
“provide a complete platform to
empower female fans in mind, body
and spirit.” Their year-round programs in the area are achieving their
goal.
The D.C. Divas are one of the
most well-known and successful
teams in professional women’s football. As part of the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA), which is currently the largest women’s football
league in the world, the Divas rank
first among all WFA teams in victo-

ries, seasons played, games played,
playoff appearances and division
championships. The Divas hold a
staggering 117-36 record in their 15
seasons of play and have played in
three national championship games,
winning two (2006 and 2015). The
Divas (7-1) have clinched their 13th
division title and the No. 1 seed in
the East heading into the playoffs.
The game started off competitive as the Gold team played tough
defense and took an early 8-0 lead
after an interception was run back
for a score by Women of Washing-
ton’s Glendalyn Junio. Junio had
three interceptions and a sack in the
first half.
Divas tight end Donna Wilkinson played quarterback for team
Burgundy, and with teammate and
Bowie native Melissa Washington,
put on a show for the fans as Washington dominated the contest on her
way to capturing the game’s MVP
award. The 6-foot-5 receiver caught
two long touchdowns of 30 and 22
yards to put team Burgundy up 12-8
at the half.
“This is an awesome game, be-
cause it’s awesome to promote
women’s football and it’s awesome
to promote the Redskins and WOW,
and it was a great event,” Washington said after receiving her award.
“We had a great time out here and I
was really impressed by the cheerleaders. They did an awesome job!
They were out there getting physical so it was fun to play against them
along with my teammates.”
The second half only saw one
score on a touchdown pass from
Wilkinson as team Burgundy went
ahead 18-8, which ended up as the
final score.
“Unbelievable,” Clark said
about Washington’s performance.
“Definitely the MVP. It was that
one-two punch all day long. Just
throw her the ball and see if she
catches it and she caught more than
she dropped, that’s for sure. She was
their Jordan Reed today, with the
same results.”
Washington was proud to win
the honor.
“We definitely had a Diva connection happening and I’m happy I
got MVP,” she said.
