Emerald ashborers have launched their Bowie de-but, but the international visitors havemet with a lessthan favorable reception.

“Life would be better if [emerald ash borer] werejust the name of a rock group,” said city manager Da-vid Deutsch. “Unfortunately, it’s not.”

Bowie staff has now confirmed cases of tree dam-age from the emerald ash borer, a non-native beetlethat originated in Asia and exclusively attacks ashtrees, said city forester Rick Kellner.

Twenty children enthusiastically rippedweedsout of a garden they helped plant outside In-dianQueen Elementary School, while another

20 collected recyclables around the FortWashing-ton schoolMonday afternoon.

These groups represented only half of the at-tendees of a new after school outdoors club, BearTracks, which encourages students to be environ-mental stewards and improve amenities at theirschool. Approximately 85 students volunteer forenvironmental activities every week and go onmonthly field trips, said science teacher JacobStettes, who came upwith the idea for the club.

“We just havemore kids every week signing up,”Stettes said. “We have a large group of kids who areinterested in doing these outdoor activities and rec-reational adventures.”

Stettes, whomoved to FortWashington in 2012,said he’s seen drivers throw out trash onMarylandRout 210 and fishermen leave piles of trash at Pisca-taway Creek.

“The schools are the first step in changing thatmentality,” Stettes said. “We can affect children’simpression of the environment at a young age thanwhen they’remuch older. It’s important at a youngage to teach them to value the environment.”

n Suspects brandishedknife, handgun in separate

robbery attempts


Bowie city police are askingresidents to be alert to suspi-cious activity after two armedrobbery attempts at BowieATMs.

Around 7 p.m. Oct. 31, aBowie resident reported he wasrobbed by amanwielding ama-chete, according toBowiepolicereports. The victimwas using anATMatCapitalOneBankonAn-napolis Road when theman ap-proached him and demandedhe withdraw approximately$100 from the machine, policesaid. The suspect fled after thecrime and no injuries were re-ported, police said.

A week earlier, a suspectbrandishing a handgun at-tempted to rob a customer atan ATM at Bank of America onEvergreen Parkway in Bowie,Deputy Police Chief DwaynePreston said. The robbery at-tempt, which took place lessthan a half mile from the BowiePolice Station, was unsuccessfulas the victim was able to driveaway quickly, Preston said.

Preston said that, whilearmed robberies at banks areuncommon in Bowie, police donot think the incidents are con-nected and do not believe theyindicate a crime trend.

WilliamAlexander, a spokes-man for the Prince George’sCounty Police Department, saidthere has been no recent in-crease in countywide ATM rob-beries.

Karen Parker is president ofthe parent teacher associationat Bowie High School, which isless than a half mile from Capi-tal One Bank, and said she wassurprised to hear about the rob-bery.

“I’ve never heard of any-thing like that happening overthere. Seven o’clock isn’t evenlate,” she said.

Parker said many studentsfrom Bowie High visit the shop-ping center next to the bankafter school to get coffee orsomething to eat. Preston urgedresidents to be on their guardand report suspicious activity tothe police department.

“Just obviously in generalbe aware of your surroundings,”Preston said. “When you’re ap-proaching an ATM, be aware ofany suspicious vehicles or sus-picious people hanging aroundin the area. If you see anything,please give us a call.”

Bernice Samuels of Bowiehad been with her fiance,JamesWatts, since theywere inhigh school. She was 25 whenhe was diagnosed with Hodg-kin lymphoma and 28when hedied of the disease.

“The cancer came whenI was young and completelyunprepared,” she said. “I wasscared, paralyzed, but I justknew I had to keep faith.”

But as a newly singlemother to the couple’s 6-year-

old son, Samuels, 30, said shewas determined to live a life ofgratitude and use her experi-ence to help others affected bylife-threatening or incurablediseases.

Together with her brother,Matt Samuels, 27, of Bowie,Samuels has turned her storyinto an inspiration through adigital book called “The Can-cer Diaries.” Available througha free smartphone applicationthe siblings created, the bookfeatures nine authors fromacross the country who havebeen affected by cancer or anoncurable disease,Matt Sam-uels said.

“[James] was extremelyresilient and humorous. Justa joy to be around,” Bernice

Samuels said. “His legacy wasdefinitely fight to the end andnot complain about things, sothat’swhy I trymyverybestnotto complain.”

Bernice Samuels came upwith the idea for their projectthe summer after Watts diedand found contributing au-thors by scouring social mediaand tapping into their ownper-sonal networks, Matt Samuelssaid.

“I honestly told her it wasthe best idea I’d ever had,” hesaid. “I said I think this couldtouch the world.”

n Rockledge Elementarywins exercisegrant program


How do you teach health,art education, music apprecia-tion and self confidence to sev-eral hundred elementary schoolstudents in one class? You teachthem how to Dougie, accordingto administrators at RockledgeElementary School.

The Dougie, a popular hip-hop dance move, is similar towhat Rockledge students willlearn in a special hip-hop exer-cise program that will be led byBowie dance instructor DaniStup this fall.

The Bowie school receiveda $980 grant from Bowie’s artcommittee last month to hostStup’s program, which will bea combination of dance andhealth instruction, accordingto a press release from the artscommittee.

Stup, 22, of Bowie said shehas been performing and com-peting in dance since she was 2years old and is an instructor atC &CDance studio in Bowie.

“I think sometimes we havemisconceptions about what itmeans to be physically healthy,”Stup said. “There are variousways to exercise and stay fit anddancing is a great way to do thatbecause its also an art form.”

Stupplans to leadRockledgestudents through introductoryhip-hop and acrobatic choreog-raphy to popular music, whichwill teach the children coordina-tion, confidence and the impor-tance of staying active, she said.

The dance and health com-posite program was the brain-child ofDonnaFowler, treasurerfor the Rockledge parent-teacher organization.

“I just have a love for educa-tion,” Fowler said. “I knew thatour physical education teacherhad discussed our school work-ing toward a healthy school ini-tiate and I thought, ‘Howcould Ihelp her with that’?”

Fowler said Stup will spendabout onehourwith each grade,including 45 minutes of danceinstruction and 15 minutes ofhealth education, along witha healthy snack. The programlikelywill culminate in a studentdancedemonstration for friendsand family, she said.

“The presentation will notonly be dance, but it will bethe children presenting what itmeans for their bodies,” Fowler

said.“It will just introduce to

themhowdancing is fun, but it’salso a goodway to stay healthy,”she said. “I always say everybodyhas a rhythm — it’s sometimesjust deep down in them some-where.Onceyou learn to feel therhythm I think it builds a lot ofconfidence in yourself.”

Stup, who competed inter-nationally in dance as a teen-ager, said she has personallyseen the physical and emotionalbenefits of dancing.

“The stamina [you gain]from dancing is unbelievablecompared to other sports,” shesaid. “The muscles you developwhen you learn to dance, it’samazing because you don’trealize you’re working thosemuscles because you’re havingsomuch fun.”

Rockledge Principal KimSeidel said the hip-hop exerciseprogram fits into the school’smission as an arts integrationschool — one of 15 schools inPrinceGeorge’sCounty selectedfor a pilot program that infusesarts eduction into core curricu-lum.

“We’re definitely trying todo more arts and learning. Kidswho have an opportunity tomoveand learnaremoreexcitedabout work than [they are whenwe’re] giving them a paper andpencil,” she said. “I think thekids will be very excited. Thiswill give them a chance tomoveand learn and be healthy.”

Glenarden Veterans Memorial Committee members (from left) Cleo D. Simpson, John McGee and Thomas Eric-Williams stand during the national anthemat the grand opening of Veterans Memorial Park in Glenarden on Tuesday.

n Expert says populationis declining, but stilldifficult to identify


GarlandBoyd, 44, ofHyatts-ville said his 25 years of experi-ence in the United States Armyprepared him to survive un-der any circumstance — evenhomelessness.

“The training I receivedhelped me get through for sur-vival,” said Boyd, who said helived on the streets and sleptunder bridges in 2012. “As longas I applied the skills I learnedin themilitary, it helpedme outa lot.”

Volunteers who workedwith veterans like Boyd duringthePrinceGeorge’sCountyVet-erans StandDown event Nov. 8in Landover said it’s hard to pindown the number of homelessveterans in county asmore vet-erans are gaining income andpermanent housing.

More than 600 people at-tended the Veterans StandDown and HomelessnessResource Day at the PrinceGeorge’s County Sports andLearning Complex in Lando-ver to obtain information oneducation, housing assistance,

health services andmore.Half of the attendees were

from veteran households, saidDee-Dee BassWilbon, an inter-nal and external affairs liaisonfor the county’s Department ofSocial Services.

Michael Strong, a humanservices consultant for veteransin Prince George’s County, saidit is believed that 25 percent ofthe county’s homeless popula-tion consists of veterans.

“The challenge for PrinceGeorge’s County is identifyingveterans, training, decent em-ployment and affordable hous-ing,” Strong said.

Veterans organizations canrefer homeless veterans to spe-cial services, but they too havetrouble identifying veterans inneed.

Strong, who was once ahomeless veteran himself, saidgetting a job is also a challengebecause spending two to fouryears in the military can maketransitioning to civilian life par-ticularly difficult.

Strong said things are look-ing up for the county’s home-less veterans. He said over thelast four tofiveyears, thecountyhas seen a decline in the num-ber of homeless veterans dueto an increasing number of re-sources for this population.

Duringa2013point-in-time

surveyof the county’shomelesspopulation, only 13 of the 686people interviewed reportedthey were veterans, down from17out of 525 in 2013. Accordingtoa2014 report fromtheMetro-politan Washington Council ofGovernments, Prince George’shas a homeless population of654.

“There’s no wrong doorfor veterans when they stepinto Prince George’s County,”Strong said.

Garval Palmer, 55, of Land-over and his family benefit-ted from specialized services.Palmer said he was homeless

for 10 months in 2013 afterserving in theU.S.Marines from1978 to 1983.

Palmer said things turnedaround for him, his wife and16-year-old daughter whenthey connected with a veter-ans that helped with a securitydeposit and first month’s rent.The family is nowapplying for aloanso theycanmake the rentaltheir permanent home.

Palmer said homeowner-ship is a reward for his service.

“It’s the American dream,”Palmer said.

n Ballpark renamed afterfirst African-American

to play there

BY JAMIE

ANFENSON-COMEAU

STAFFWRITER

If Bryan Alonzo Broadiewere alive today, he would be62 years old. No one knowswhat he might have accom-plished in his adult life, ashe was killed before his 18thbirthday.

As a child, however, he ledthe desegregation of the Lan-ham Boys Club, and it is forthat accomplishment he wasrecognized Saturday with therenaming of the baseball fieldat Whitfield Chapel Park inLanham as the “Bryan AlonzoBroadie Memorial Ballpark.”

“I’m just happy that Bry-

an’s works are still living, andpeople are recognizing that,”said his mother, OlamaeBroadie, 84, of Lanham.

Broadie described her sonas the Jackie Robinson of hisday, when he became the firstblack child to play for the Lan-hamBoysClub’s baseball teamin 1959, at the age of seven.

She said he wasn’t afraid,when he asked her if he couldplay baseball with the whitechildren at the Whitfield Cha-pel ballpark.

“He said, ‘Mommy, if I lovethem, they will loveme back,’”Olamae Brodie recalled.

State Sen. Paul Pinsky (D-Dist. 22) of Hyattsville said ra-cial tensions were high in the1960s.

“For young Bryan andhis mother and his youngerbrother to face that and tofight through those barriers issomething that is extremely,

extremely admirable in myeyes,” Pinsky said.

Bryan Broadie was killedin 1970 at the age of 17. Hismother said he was trying tobreak up a fight, and got in themiddle of it and was stabbed.

“He requested they don’tfight. He said, ‘Please don’tfight’, and by saying that, helost his life,” his mother said.

For decades, Broadietried to get the baseball fieldrenamed in his memory, tohonor the role he played in de-segregating the Lanham BoysClub and bringing the com-munity together in the 1960s.

Her request initially metwith rejection, however, de-spite support from severalelected officials, includingthen-State Sen. Leo Green ofBowie.

A 1987 letter from thenPlanningBoardChairman JohnRhoads to Broady stated, “I amsure youcanappreciate the factthat we simply cannot accom-modate the many worthwhile

requests we receive to renameparks’ facilities.”

Broadiewaspersistent, andnever gave up as the years anddecades passed.

“It is not that I didn’t giveup, it is that we the parents, wethe community did not giveup, because I thrived off thelove the parents and childrengave me because of my son. Icouldn’t have done it by my-self,” Broadie said.

She garnered support fromPinsky, Del. Anne Healey (D-Dist. 22) of Hyattsville, U.S.Representative Steny Hoyer(D-Dist. 5) of Mechanicsvilleand others.

In 2013, Broadie sent theMaryland-National CapitalPark and Planning Commis-sion letters of support from1,000members of her commu-nity and organizations withinPrince George’s County, ac-cording to her younger son,Derrick Broadie.

Elizabeth Hewlett, chair-woman of the Prince George’s

County Planning Board, saidBroadie’s request came beforethe Planning Board and wasapproved July 19.

Hewlett said she couldnot speak to why the PlanningBoard approved the request .

“It has been a long timecoming, but it is here,” Hewlettsaid. “She is a lesson in perse-verance, in being undeterred,in being a champion, and in amother’s love.”

Derrick Broadie said hefeels the request was granteddue to changing attitudes onrace.

“At the time, [of the initialrequest] there were things thatwere given to the white com-munity that were not given tothe black community,” DerrickBroadie said. “I think this is asign of the evolution on racethat has occurred in our time.”

n About 500,000 homeswould be powered

by Brandywine project


Some Brandywine resi-dents say they are worried anew power plant, which is set tobe built off of North Keys Roadearly next year, could negativelyimpact their health, the environ-ment and property values.

The Keys Energy Center,which is being developed byDelaware-basedGenesis Power,LLC, will be a 25-acre naturalgas power plant that is expectedto power 500,000 homes in theWashington, D.C., metropolitanarea, said David S. Iannucci, thesenior economic developmentadvisor to county executiveRushern L. Baker, III.

Genesis Power, LLC hascommitted to hiring 400 localconstruction workers as wellas 25 permanent employees towork at the plant, said EdwardGibbs, an attorney representingGenesis Power, LLC.

But Brandywine and Badenresidents say they still havequestions about how the proj-ect, which is set to be completedin late 2017 or early 2018, will af-fect their rural community.

David Billings, the chairmanof the Brandywine North KeysCivic Association’s energy sub-committee, said it needs moredetailed information on howthe power plant will affect thecommunity before it decideswhether to support or opposethe project.

“The one thing that all thequestions border on is health.How will it affect the health ofpeople in the community, longrange and short range? I thinkthat is a key factor,” Billings said.

Gibbs said the operation ofthe plant has almost no adverseimpact on the environment.

Joyce Dowling of Brandy-wine said she lives around thecorner from the proposed siteand is concerned that the powerplant will lower property valuesin the area.

“The housing market hasbeen pretty bad in this areaand it hasn’t been improving,”Dowling said. “As a homeownerthat is certainly a concern too.That’s not ideally what we wantin this area.”

The power plant is expectedto cost $700 million and $750million to build, Gibbs said.Residents are encouraged toattend a public hearing hostedby the Maryland Departmentof the Environment from 7 to 9p.m.Monday at the BrandywineVolunteer Fire Department formore information on the proj-ect.

n Parents, youth sayprogram has producedlifelong improvement


Sixteenweeks ago, ChristinaHenderson said she would havecalled her son Terrell a “quietstorm.”

“He has a temper. He triesto keep under wraps, but whenit comes out it’s not good,”Hen-derson said.

After he got into an alterca-tion at school, she enrolled herson in the Forestville-basedTake Charge Juvenile DiversionProgram.

Since then, Henderson saysTerrell has truly taken charge ofhis life — he spends more timewith his brothers, communi-cates betterwithhis parents andeven volunteersmore at church.

“I’m a little more focusedand enthused about school,”said Terrell, 16, of Bowie. “Mygrades have become a lot betterand I help out around the housemore.”

Take Chargewas founded in1990 by Shaar Mustaf, a formercourt bailiff in Prince George’sCounty who wanted to offeryoung black men an alternativeto being detained for one-timeoffenses, saidMurrayMalveaux,the director of programs andoutreach for Take Charge.

More than 400 youth andfamilies have participated in theprogram, which achieved a 92percent recidivismrate this year,meaning 9 out of 10 participantshave not committed anothercrime sixmonths after complet-ing the program, said executivedirector Jerrod Mustaf. This isone of the highest recidivismrates the program has achieved,Mustaf said.

During the first four weeksof the diversion program, youthand parents attend meetingsthat focusonbehaviormodifica-tion. Subsequentmeetings focuson life skills development andeach week, youth give a presen-tation about a positive currentevent.

Henderson said she clearlywitnessed the program’s impacton Terrell when he volunteeredto help a peer explain basket-ball statistics during his currentevents presentation.

“I was floored because usu-ally it’s like pulling teeth to gethim to participate in somethingand it was no problem at all,”Henderson said. “It was a self-less act. I was so proud of himfor that.”

The most recent session oftheprogramconcludedMondaywith a graduation ceremony.Malveaux said the graduation isimportant because it recognizeswhat the participants have ac-complished.

“Wewant to reward themforsuccessfully starting a journeyand completing that journey.”Malveaux said.

Joseph Lewis, Jr., 17, of Ac-cokeek said he used to talk backto his parents and couldn’tkeep his grades up before TakeCharge. A senior in high school,Joseph said he’s now planningto go to college and enlist in theU.S. Coast Guard.

“Stuff I used todo Idon’t feel

like doing anymore because itwon’t getme anywhere,” Josephsaid.

Henderson said she plans toenroll her second-oldest son inthe program.

“He’s in middle school andhe’s dealing with some chal-lenges and we see that TakeCharge lays a foundation forthemand teaches thema lot thattheydon’t get at homeanddon’tget at school,” Henderson said.

Malveaux said in the nexttwo to three months, TakeChargehopes to launcha“phasetwo” program, which wouldmonitor the progress of diver-sion program graduates andconnect themwithmentors.

“The best message comesfrom someone who’s had thesame experience and turnedtheir lives around,” Malveauxsaid.

Forestville group aids at-risk county teens


Detri Malik Johnson (center), 16, of Fort Washington receives his certificate of achievement from director of programs Murray Malveaux (right), as executivedirector Jerrod Mustaf looks on during a graduation ceremony Nov. 10 for the Take Charge program in Forestville.

Temple Hills resident Mar-shaé Cappaninee, 15, said sheaspires to become a neonatolo-gist because she was a prema-ture baby herself — when shewas born, she was small enoughto fit in a shoebox.

“Iwant to giveback andhelpother premature babies surviveand grow and have a life like Idid,” Cappaninee said.

Cappaninee will get a jumpstart on her career working withpremature babies by attendingthe Congress for FutureMedicalLeaders this week.

Cappaninee, a sophomoreat Oxon Hill High School, wasnominated to attend the Con-gress because of her academicachievement, leadership poten-tial and dedication to servingothers as amedical professional.

The Congress for FutureMedical Leaders, which takesplace Friday through Sunday inWashington, D.C., will give highschool students from aroundthe country more exposure tothe medical field and the op-portunity tomeet accomplisheddoctors. Cappaninee said sheis excited to meet other aspir-ing doctors and watch a virtualsurgery.

“I’m looking forward tomeeting other teens who are in-terested in themedical field andmeeting other doctorswhohaveexperience in themedical field,”Cappaninee said.

n Survivor to share storyat fundraiser Saturday


Less than24hours after a tu-mor was removed from her leftbronchial tube, La’Kisha Cole,37, of Suitland said she was outof bed and walking around herhospital room, determined toprove lung cancerwas nomatchfor her.“I was in pain, I was in tears,

but I had to know I was going todefeat this and know it wouldnot come back at all,” Cole said.Cole, now a three-year can-

cer survivor, will share her storyof perseverance during her lungcancer awareness event, “Hats,Pumps & Pearls,” at NewbirthChristian Church in Suitland onSaturday.Cole said she could tell that a

persistent cough, which startedin October 2010, was not just abad case of bronchitis, as herdoctor had suggested.“I knew something was

wrong because my body felt re-ally different,” Cole said.After getting a CT scan in

February 2011, doctors con-cluded that Cole had a tumor onher left bronchial tube. Surgerywould be necessary but risky —Cole said if the tumorwas belowa certain spot, she could havelost a lung.Mamie Berry, 58, of Mitch-

ellville, a close friend of Cole,said Cole has “not kept quiet”about lung cancer awarenesssince her diagnosis and she isproud of her friend’s dedicationto the cause.

“That just warmed ourhearts to know shewanted to dothis,” Berry said. “She’s payingfor everything because she is socommitted to ensuring peopleknow about lung cancer.”The nine-hour surgery took

placeMarch 10, 2011.Doctors removed the tu-

mor, which they diagnosed asstageone lungcancer, and savedCole’s lung. Cole said she hasnever smoked and doctors werenot able to determine the causeof her cancer.Andrea Ferris, the president

and chairwoman of the LUN-Gevity Foundation, a lung can-cer awareness nonprofit, said60 percent of people diagnosedwith lung cancer are nonsmok-ers and thefive-year survival ratefor lung cancer is 17 percent.“There’s not a huge survi-

vors’ advocacybasebecausenota lot of people survive it,” Ferrissaid. “When you have someonesurvive and thrive with it, it’sso important for them to sharetheir story.”Cole said her survival in-

spired her to advocate for lungcancer awareness — she par-ticipated in the LUNGevityFoundation Breathe Deep D.C.walk Nov. 2 and has spoken ata Smoke Out event, which en-courages smokers to quit forone day.“Hats, Pumps & Pearls,”

which will take place from 1 to3 p.m. Saturday at Newbirth,will feature mime and musicalperformances as well as a raffleprizes for the best hat and bestpair of pumps.In addition to being a fund-

raiser for lung cancer research,Cole said she hopes the eventwill empower attendees to be

advocates for their own health.“When you hear you have

cancer, you need to fight to sur-vive,” Cole said. “That’s my goalright now, to let everyone knowcancer, period, is not a deathsentence and we want to beatit.”

front of the school during thePrince George’s County CleanUp Green Up event Oct. 18. OnSaturday, students will be pick-ingup trash inNorthPiscatawayPark in Fort Washington duringa community clean up.

The club hasn’t been ableto meet every Monday due toschool holidays, but Stettes saidhe’s already seen a change instudent behaviors.

“Thekids are catching them-selves and correcting them-selves a lot more,” Stettes said.“They really do seem to takepride in all thework they did outon the garden. They really seemto enjoy going out and wateringit.”

Diego Rodriguez, 8, of FortWashington said he enjoys get-ting the opportunity to gardenevery week during Bear Tracks.

“I enjoy the fact that we’realways outside most of the dayand we usually plant things andplay after,” Diego said.

His mother, Carmen Ro-driguez, said the family tends agarden at home and she appre-ciates howher son can learn thisskill after school.

“I was taught to grow foodand I like that he does it becauseI haven’t been able to showhim,” Rodriguez said. “It’s justa well-rounded lesson to knowhow to grow your own food.”

Stettes said the club’s longterm goal is to enhance theschool’s outdoor amenities.Students have been writing let-ters to local businesses for do-nations, whichwould go towarda building a nature trail aroundthe school, converting the base-ball diamond to a kickball field,establishing a vegetable gardenand constructing outdoor class-room spaces.

“We would like to be stew-ards of the community andschool property butwe still needto securematerials,” Stettes said.

Sierra Sturgis, 11, of FortWashington, said Bear Tracksgives her an opportunity tospend time outside and giveback to the earth.

“The environment will helpus as long as we help it,” Sturgissaid.

trees inBowie and said therehasbeen confirmed damage in thecommunities of Belair Greens,Collington Manor, Longleaf,Buckingham and Kenilworth.

“The invasion has begun inthe city of Bowie,” Kellner toldBowie officials during a CityCouncil meeting Nov. 3. “Oncean invasion occurs you usually

have two to five years beforeyou see the tree completely col-lapse.”

Bowie council membersdiscussed possible strategies tocombat the problem on Nov. 3andnoted the challenge of strik-ing a balance between environ-mental and financial priorities.

It could cost up to $150,000to removeand replaceabout 150trees with a different species, orup to $15,000 to treat those treesevery two years, Kellner said.

“I don’t want to see anytree go extinct, but oh my gosh,$1,500 a tree — that hurts,” saidcouncilmemberDianePolangin(Dist. 2) “But won’t it save moremoney in the long run to replacethem if you’re going to eventu-ally have to take themall down?”

Gary Allen of Bowie saidhe had an ash tree in front ofhis former Bowie home andbelieves the older, larger treesprovide financial and ecologicalbenefits to the community.

Allen, who also chairs thecity’s environmental advisorycommittee, referenced treebenefit calculator tools availablethrough organizations like theArbor Day Foundation, whichindicate each ash tree couldbenefit a community around$150 annually in categories likeproperty value, air quality andstormwatermanagement.

“It’s in our interest to helppreserve those benefits as longas possible,” Allen said. “I tend

to think any ash tree above 20inches in diameter ought to beprioritized for treatment. Theecological service benefits of atree that size would be doublethe cost of the single treatment.”

Bowie Mayor G. FrederickRobinson said Bowie city staffwill evaluate the options fortreating or replacing ash treesand make strategy and budgetrecommendations to councilduring a future councilmeeting.

Deutsch said the city has al-

ready budgeted $64,000 for treeremoval in Belair Greens overthenext twoyears, butmayneedto request additional funding toaddress the city-wide problem.

“Everybody wants to try tosave the trees, so if we can savethe trees, we will,” Robinsonsaid. “The question now is whatis the most effective strategy,and what is the most cost-effec-tive strategy.”

everybody that works on thatlittle stretch says it’s nuts tohaveit two ways because you can’thave two cars going in oppositedirections,” Sonnett said.

Sonnett said it can be es-pecially problematic for theMarlboro Volunteer Fire De-partment, which is headquar-

tered on Pratt Street, to respondto emergencies when compet-ing with westbound traffic.

“The fire department cango down the one-way street inan emergency in the oppositedirection,” Sonnett said. “If theysee it’s clear, they won’t have togo out and go around.”

Tim Clark, the volunteer firechief for theMarlboroVolunteerFire Department, said volunteerfirefightersdonot travel east anymore often than they travel westto respond to calls, but making

Pratt Street a one-way could im-prove overall efficiency.

“When we go out there, itwouldmake it a lot easier,” Clarksaid.

Clark added that it can bedifficult tomaneuver emergencyvehicles at the intersection ofMain andWater streets.

“During the day outside thecourthouse it gets a little con-gested,” Clark said.

Michael Gonnella, UpperMarlboro police chief, said heis not aware of any major acci-

dents occurring on that block ofPratt Street, but he said peopleparking there to go to the circuitcourt house have discoveredproperty damage when they re-turn to their car.

“Mirrors get knocked offthe cars,” Gonnella said. “Somepeoplehavebeencourteous andleft information, others havedriven away.”

William Haskell, a partnerwith thepersonal injury lawfirmHaskell & Zimmerman, said hecan see Pratt Street from his of-

fice window and said he’s seencars struggle to pass vehiclesparked on the side of the road.

“It’s too narrow,” Haskellsaid. “The other problem iswhen you drive through go-ing westbound, it’s hard to seewhat’s coming from the right.There’s a blind spot.”

Although he said he doesn’tdrive on that stretch of PrattStreet himself, Haskell said hesupported theone-wayproposal.

“If it helps the fire house I’mall for it and if it causes less acci-

dents I’m all for it,” Haskell said.Sonnett said the town com-

missioners will present an or-dinance to residents during theDecember town meeting and ifthere is no opposition, the com-missioners will pass the mea-sure in January.

If Pratt Street is convertedto a one-way, the road will closetemporarily next spring andsigns will be put up to alert driv-ers to the change, Sonnett said.

“[The book] is like a re-ally long text message fromyour best friend telling youit’s going to be okay,” BerniceSamuels said. “It’s a diary, nota tutorial. There really is noright or wrongway to deal with[a life-threatening] disease, aslong as you do your best.”

Brittany Jackson, 27, ofGlenn Dale said she was diag-

“I was really excited be-cause when I was diagnosed, Ireally do wish I had somethinglike [“The Cancer Diaries”]that I could have,” Jacksonsaid. “I think being diagnosedwith any disease is definitelylife changing. I think anyonecan relate to the feeling of be-ing lost and overwhelmed andconfused and depressed whenyou find out about the diagno-sis.”

Jackson, a dancer sinceshe was 3 years old, said herprogressive disease means shecan’t perform like she used to

“I just remember feeling soalone and isolated when it firsthappened,” she said. “I didn’tknow anyone who had MS atthat time, especially any youngpeople with MS. It was hard toexplain to anybody what wasgoing on.”

POST COMMUNITY MEDIA

This fall I’m becoming far too familiarwith the sound of chainsaws. The reason:utility company crews are trimming andcutting down trees throughoutMountRainier, where I live, and inmany otherWashington, D.C., suburbs. The com-pany’s efforts to protect power lines fromfalling limbs are going to cost us some ofour largest trees, including beautiful cen-tury-old oaks, elms and tulip poplars.

While Imourn the loss of these trees,I also recognize that our utility company,PEPCO, is not on somewanton deforesta-tion campaign. The company’s hand haslargely been forced byMaryland’s PublicService Commission, which recentlydrafted a rule (RM 43) that requires utilitycompanies to try to completely clear thespace above and around overhead powerlines carrying above a certain voltage. Thisrule was prompted byMaryland’s 2011Electricity Service Quality and ReliabilityAct (HB 391), whichwas passedwithmuchfanfare about reducing power outages andincreasing utility company accountability.

To comply with RM 43, PEPCO con-tracted with a third-party company toidentify trees that they thought should beremoved to achieve the required clear-ance. PEPCO then offered to cut the treesdown and haul them away— for free.Some of these trees are dying and needto come down; in such cases, PEPCO’sremoval offers can help cash-strappedcities and property owners. Other treeshave decades of life left, and the thoughtof thembeing sawed to pieces is simplyheartbreaking.

Of course, PEPCO cannot simply cutdown someone else’s tree.Mount Rainier’svolunteer Tree Commissioners, includingme, visited 20 public street trees that hadbeenmarked for removal. We evaluatedeach tree’s overall health, the benefits itprovides to city residents and the risks itposes to power lines. In the end, we rec-ommended to city officials that three ofthe 20 trees be removed and the other 17be allowed to remain. The city took ourrecommendation, and PEPCOwill trim theremaining 17 trees.

Butmost of the targeted trees are onprivate property. One of PEPCO’s contrac-tors toldme that around 90 percent of the

property owners he approached agreed tolet PEPCO remove trees. Such a high rateis perhaps not surprising. Having a largetree removed normally costs thousandsof dollars, andmany people probably sawthe offers as freemoney. However, storiesI have heard and emails I’ve seenmake itclear that PEPCO’s contractor often ap-plied significant pressure to encourageproperty owners to have trees removed.Collectively, these removals are going tohave a huge impact on our community;Mount Rainier’s roadside tree care expertsays they will reduce the city’s urban forestbymore than any single event sinceHur-ricane Isabel tore through the region in2003. Call it Hurricane PEPCO.

It can be hard to remember in ourhighly urbanized environment, but treescan still thrive in cities if given a chance.This is good, because urban trees— es-pecially large ones—do a lot for us. Theygive habitat and shade, reduce air pollu-tion, and, by retaining stormwater, preventour sewers and streams fromflooding.Trees can also add hundreds or even thou-sands of dollars to the values of both theproperties they sit on and of nearby ones.

Why are neighborhoods like ClevelandPark and Takoma Park so desirable— andexpensive? Partly because these communi-ties have developed and protected theirtree canopies. The urban forest, whichcovers both public and private land, istruly a commons, benefiting everyone.

Trees can, of course, also be a pain.They drop leaves and seeds, their rootspop up sidewalk panels, and yes, they oc-casionally drop a branch onto a powerline. Every community has to strike a bal-ance between protecting its trees andmiti-gating their impacts on infrastructure.

So is it worth risking an occasionalpower outage to continue to enjoymag-nificent trees that have been here, insome cases, even longer than our citiesthemselves? Personally, I think it is. I andother tree lovers I know are willing to putupwith significant inconvenience to holdonto such trees. But I’m also pretty surethat utility companies and governmentofficials have heard farmore complaintsabout power outages than they haveheard support for trees. And they have re-sponded accordingly.

What people dowith trees on theirproperty is normally a privatematter. Butwhen a utility company is doing the re-movals, it becomes a public concern. I donot want to continue financing, throughmy utility payments, the deforestation ofmy own city. Maryland lawmakers and thePSC need to hear that HB 391 and RM43force utility companies to cut down toomany valuable, healthy trees. If we don’tspeak up, no onewill; trees cannot lobbyfor themselves.

The decision over how to retain trees while also protecting power lines has sparked controversy in the Washington, D.C., suburbs, to include Potomac(shown here), where tree removals occurred in August. PEPCO contractors have recently been cutting trees in the Mount Rainier area.

The Prince George’s County school system has strug-gled for so long that any less-than-perfect news can, un-fortunately, become an opportunity to pile on criticism.

Suchwas the case with a new teacher evaluation sys-tem that rates educators’ effectiveness. According to theresults released twoweeks ago, 86.7 percent of PrinceGeorge’s teachers ranked “effective” and 6.8 percent were

rated “highly effective.”A Gazette story last week

highlighted the fact that6.4 percent, or 564 countyteachers, were rated “inef-fective.”

While it can be temptingto dwell on the “ineffective”scores, it’s important to not

lose sight of the bigger picture: 93.5 percent of countyteachers are doing their jobs well.

And, just as important, a new evaluation system is inplace to identify and provide help for those teachers inneed of improvement.

The new system takes into account teachers’ profes-sional practices (such as planning and class instruction)and also looks at student growth. It may seem like astraightforward task, but when you consider that someteachersmay lack needed resources, struggle with largeclass sizes or work with children lagging far behind theirpeers— it can be difficult to use the samemeasure of per-formance across the board.

Prince George’s has beenworking for about sevenyears developing the new system in conjunctionwithunions, principals, teachers and other staff.

“Prince George’s County’smetrics were themostcomprehensive, encompassing a number of variables de-veloped by the LEA [Local Education Agency],” David Vol-rath, planning and development officer for theMarylandState Department of Education, told The Gazette.

Given that each of the participating 22 school districtsin the state (out of 24 total districts) has developed its ownevaluation system—and since each clearly faces differinglevels of challenges— it would be unfair to compare theirresults to those in Prince George’s.

Officials say the results are in line with theMeasures ofEffective Teaching, a project funded by the Bill &MelindaGates Foundation that identified effective teaching tech-niques. In other words, county results are in line with whatwould be expected from a solid evaluation system.

As a result, it’s important to look not at how the countycompares to others, but instead look at what the resultssay about education andwhat officials have planned toaddress the results.

Fortunately, not only does the system provide a newstandard ofmeasure going forward, but officials are alsoimplementing an additional program to aid educators.

The new Peer Assistance and Review, or PAR, program,in which non-tenured struggling teachers can receiveregular feedback frommentor teachers, provides hope forimprovements. Under the initial PAR rollout, 15mentorteachers will aid up to 15 struggling teachers, but schoolofficials hope to expand the program.

An organization cannot begin to improve until it effec-tively identifies its weaknesses and addresses them. Let’scelebrate the fact that it appears the county has a solidplan for not onlymeasuring teacher performance but alsoin getting underperforming teachers on track to do better.

Prince George’s County school officials have goneabove and beyond to ensure students are compliant withimmunization requirements, yet it still doesn’t seem to beenough to grabmany parents’ attention.

Students were required to have all of themandatedimmunizations by Oct. 31—but just twoweeks before thedeadline,more than 3,000 county students still weren’tin compliance. The county received a 45-day extensionfrom the state, but as ofMonday, about 200 students stillneeded shots.

The extensionwas just the tip of the iceberg when itcame to outreach. Free on-site immunizations were heldat the annual Back-to-School Fair; free immunization clin-ics were set up onweeknights andweekends; and schoolemployees called parents, sent letters, e-mails and textmessages. On the final week leading to the deadline, 15vaccination centers were set up during the day at 15mid-dle schools and at least five sites after regular school hours.

Outside of bringing nurses to the homes of every stu-dent, there’s notmuchmore school officials could do.

Although immunizations are nothing new for students,each year, thousands of county students have to be re-minded close to deadline to get them taken care of.

Students who don’t have the required immunizationsor required waiver risk being barred from schools. It’s upto parents tomake sure that doesn’t happen. It’s as simpleas that.

I’m 28 yearsold and I’vebeen a Wash-ington, D.C.,sports fan forjust as long.

I’m barelyold enough toremember go-ing to a SuperBowl partywhen the Wash-ington Redskinsplayed in the 26th big game, but otherthan that I’ve experienced a whole lotof heartache and false hope from localprofessional sports teams.

I imagine being a supporter of theFrederick Douglass High School foot-ball team is just as frustrating. Beforeyou say I’m crazy, hear me out.

The Eagles don’t stink like the localpaid professionals or the Universityof Maryland football team. In fact,the program is quite the opposite.Douglass has made the playoffs everyyear since 2003 and all but two years(2001-02) in the 21st century, accord-ing to the Maryland Public SecondarySchools Athletic Association recordbook. Overall, the Upper Marlboroschool has qualified for the postsea-son 20 times (counting this fall), beena state runner-up three times (1975,2011-12) and appeared in the statesemifinals on seven other occasions.

But the Eagles have never won astate title. The elusive trophy and ac-companying ring have to be eatingaway at longtime coach J.C. Pinkney,who has compiled a 121-33 record atthe school. Players and coaches willtell you that every year is different, andthat they take each game one gameat a time, but I get the feeling that the2014 Douglass team, with 16 seniors(10 that see significant playing time),has had enough.

“The goal is to win every game,”said senior wide receiver/defensiveback Quinton Jordan. “If we do thatI think everything we want to do —make history — will fall into place.”

In a little more than three weeks,on Dec. 6 at M&T Bank Stadium in Bal-timore, I believe Douglass finally willshake off its Buffalo Bills-esque statusand finally win the big one. The Eaglesare scheduled to open the playoffs at 1p.m. Saturday against Marriotts Ridgeat home.

“This is the fourth quarter of ourseason,” said junior quarterback andthree-year starter Devin Butler, whostarted on the 2012 state runner-upteam to Middletown. “We broke ourseason down like a game. We’ve playedthree quarters perfect [record-wise]so far and it feels good. But we aren’tfinished. Now is the most importanttime.”

I don’t think the opponent willmatter — the Eagles are the only un-defeated (10-0) Class 2A team in thestate and have home-field advantagethrough the state semifinals — notbecause Douglass is just that good onpaper, but because it is on a mission.

Yes, there are big names such asButler (508 passing and 646 rushingyards), Jordan (174 receiving yards,two interceptions) and star seniordefensive lineman Amir Fenwick. Butit’s a lineup that’s fast, strong and bigwithout a glaring weakness that hasDouglass plowing through the compe-tition. The Eagles play great defense,have a strong rushing attack and atimely passing game, and several play-makers on special teams.

Just to show how dominate theEagles have been, they defeated oppo-nents by an average of 42.8-3.6.

“This may be one of the best teamsI’ve coached,” Pinkney said. “We’vetasted it, but haven’t ate it yet. Theguys are pretty talented and have theintangibles. ...

“We’re pretty focused and under-stand this is a once-in-a-lifetime op-portunity. We’ve been fortunate overthe last four years now that we’ve goneto states twice in 2011 and 2012, butit’s not good enough.”

Added Butler: “I really feel like thisis the team that is going to get it done.I feel great about our offense, defense,special teams, coaches and backups.Everything about this team I love.”

Hopefully Douglass doesn’t let medown.

n Stags use difficultschedule to help themimprove for league play

BY PRINCE J. GRIMES

STAFF WRITER

With a core of veterans, the De-Matha Catholic High School icehockey team should have a strongseason this winter.

Senior goaltender Kevin Mackeyreturns, more seasoned, for his sec-ond year as the No. 1. Classmate for-ward Ryan Sneddo also returns.

“I see a renewed enthusiasm inthis group that we have this year,”coach Tony MacAulay said. “Theseguys have been in their program forthree and four years now. And we’resort of leading with 11 seniors thatreally want to obviously finish theyear the right way with a good taste inthe their mouths. So I think becauseof that, we’re looking forward to be-ing competitive and hopefully beingamongst the top teams in the [Mid-Atlantic Prep Hockey League].”

Sneddon was among the team’sleading scorers in 2013. KeeganChesnick and Ausin Weber are two ofthe returning leaders on defense forDeMatha. Ryan Sweeney and NickKeppler also return.

DeMatha usually plays a morerigorous schedule — featuring manyroad trips — than most teams, andfinished a 35-game schedule below.500 last season. This year will be noexception.

While many other hockey teamsin the area are still holding tryouts orpreparing for their first games of theseason, DeMatha has already playedfour games.

The Stags are 2-2, losing their twomost recent contests on a road triplast week at Shady Side Academy inPittsburgh.

MacAulay said the type of sched-ule DeMatha plays should shape itinto an even more competitive teamwithin the MAPHL

“We’re once again doing someout-of-town weekends that are re-ally going to challenge us,” MacAu-lay said. “We didn’t win either game[against Shady Side Academy], butwe’re competing in those games. ... Ithink it’s weekends like that, and thenin Jamestown, N.Y. next month ...that are really going to help us in ourschedule. That’s sort of how we buildit, so that we can allow players to de-velop and compete against guys at thenext level to make themselves better.”

n Prince George’s County boysteam benefit when stars return

BY ERIC GOLDWEINSTAFF WRITER

Some of Prince George’s County’stop boys soccer players were forcedaway from their high school squadswhen the United States Soccer Fed-eration prohibited its Academy mem-bers from joining their varsity teamsin 2012. But since the rule change,player movement has also startedflowing in the opposite direction, withathletes leaving the D.C. United Acad-emy, and returning to their schoolteams.

Among the recent Academy drop-outs are three play-ers from CrosslandHigh School inTemple Hills andseveral more fromBowie.

Thomas Tor-res, a D.C. UnitedAcademy Under-18coach and youthscout, said thatturnover amongthe high school-aged Academyathletes isn’t un-common. Of the25 players on theU-18 team, four arefirst-years, a feware second-years,and most are intheir third or fourthyears, he said. The No. 1 priority, hesaid, is to develop players for the proteam. So as the age groups rise, rosterspots are more competitive.

“We’re looking for a player thatcould potentially play at RFK,” Torressaid. “... When the investment comesfrom the club, the standard [is] muchhigher,” Torres said.

Academy turnover has drawn theire of county coaches, who’ve seentheir players go in and out of the sys-tem.

Frantz Deetjen, a first-year coachat Bowie who was an assistant theprevious seven seasons, said that hehas lost several players due to therule change, and that it has weak-ened varsity soccer across the county.The Bulldogs have nine state titles

with their most recent one coming in2011, but no Prince George’s team hasreached a state final since.

And it’s not just that the acad-emies have altered the high schoolsoccer landscape, he said. They’vealso stunted the development of someof their own recruits, he said.

“D.C. United will take these kids... and once they’re done with them,they end up outsourcing,” Deetjensaid.

“... All these players are witness-ing the same thing. There was a lackof playing time and too many kids oneach roster.”

Bladensburg coach AvinashChandran said that he discourages hisplayers from joining the D.C. United

Academy because ofits lack of continuityand player develop-ment.

“Their priorityis to maintain theirbrand,” he said. “...D.C. United losesplayers. They poachplayers, still losethem.”

So why then doplayers join Acad-emy teams in thefirst place? Part of theappeal is skill devel-opment, they said;with the Academy,teams train four daysa week throughoutthe year. It’s also be-cause of recruitmentadvantages. College

coaches keep a close eye on Academyathletes; 12 players from last season’sD.C. United U-18 team landed on Di-vision I programs, Torres said.

“When we traveled we looked allnice as a team. … it was nice to haveeverybody looking at us and be like‘oh, that’s the Academy,” said Bowiesenior Dalwin Granados, who playedfor D.C. United pre-Academy as afreshman and sophomore.

Academy dropouts offered vari-ous explanations for their departures,from playing time, to coaching style,to the desire to return to their varsityteams. Granados said his teammatesand his coach, Deetjen, persuadedhim to return to the Bulldogs.

n Crusaders defeat Avalonto win second straightCAFC championship

BY TERRONHAMPTONSPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

During halftime stretches,football coach Caesar NettlesIII told his Riverdale BaptistSchool team, “the time is now,we have to execute.”

The Crusaders were unin-spiring in the first half, leadingAvalon 3-0 at halftime of theCapital Area Football Confer-ence championship game.

Nettles worked for the Cru-saders, who scored 30 points inthe second half on their way tocapturing their second-consec-utive CFAC title with a 33-20victory.

“These guys just havemen-tal toughness,” said Nettles, inhisfirst seasonas theprogram’shead coach. “I think these guysjust bought in to the offseasonprogram. They came in to thisseason really ready to compete.We’re not the biggest team,we’re not the fastest team. Butultimately, we’re going to fightevery play. I’m glad that I had agroup of seniors that were ableto corral the guys especially

when we started to get dis-tracted during the season.”

One of the Crusaders (8-2)senior that stood out this sea-son was linebacker/defensivelinemanRashadManning, whohadahugegameandwas apartof a defensive effort in whichthe Black Knights were heldscoreless until only 2 minutes,1 second remained in the thirdquarter.

Manning had three sacks,a fumble recovery and a passdeflection to lead the Cru-saders defense, which had todefend Avalon junior wide re-ceiver standout Trevon Diggs,the younger brother of formerhigh school All-American andUniversity of Maryland juniorStefonDiggs.

For the most part, Diggswaskept in checkwithonly fourreceptions for 43 yards beforecatching six passes for 74 yardsover his team’s final three pos-sessions.

“The feeling is great being apart of the team that won [theCFAC title] last year, so repeat-ing is a great feeling,” Manningsaid. “A lot of guys stepped up.One of our starting corner-backs, Sir Patrick Scott, startedthe game but got hurt but wehad other guys step up. A lot of

guys stepped up but this wasabout effort.”

Offensively, the Crusadersperformancewasnot as consis-tent but was nonetheless effec-tive in the second half.

Crusaders senior quarter-back Amir Hall threw all threeof his touchdown passes onthree-consecutive drives toZechariah McPheason, CodyWilburn and Marcus Williamsto help the Crusaders take acommanding, 23-8, lead early

in the fourth quarter.Riverdale Baptist junior

tailback Zack Campbell addeda45-yard touchdown run in thefourth quarter which, coupledwith a 25-yard field goal fromJeremiah McBride, helped putthe game out of reach.

“Thismeans a lot for us.Weput ina lot ofwork in theoffsea-son. SinceFebruary,we’rebeenworking hard. It’s really big torepeat,” Campbell said.

moved to the area followinghis high school junior year. Hethen played Amateur AthleticUnion basketball for D.C. As-sault and repeated his junioryear at TakomaAcademy beforetransferring to Laurel for hisfinal high school season.

“I didn’t expect him to startthis year,” Brooks said. “WhatTai’s done is he’s worked onhis body and getting in shape.He’s studied a lot of film —he’s always here working onthings. ... I am very pleased.”

Marshall, however, optedto downplay the expected in-creased responsibilities.

“Hey, whatever happens,happens,” Marshall said. “IfI’m there, I’m there, but I amgoing to keep working hard.”

Marshall should be joinedin the starting lineup by juniorforward and preseason All-CIAA selection Andre Jackson(6-6, 193), senior point guard

Zafir Williams (6-0, 177), se-nior guard Cam Knox (5-11,171) and junior guard JustinBeck (6-2, 192).

“Andre’s playing with atremendous amount of con-fidence,” Brooks said. “I’vetold him when he’s on thefloor he has to be our light-ning rod. Things have to hap-pen — whether it is a blockedshot, put back, 3-point shot ora drive and kick back — he’sgot to help us.”

Springbrook High Schoolgraduate and redshirt juniorwing player Miles Jackson (6-7, 200) and Eleanor Rooseveltalumnus and sophomore for-ward Enouma Ebinum (6-9,220) are expected to play keyroles off the bench. FreshmenAhmaad Wilson, DayshawnWells and Omari Georgeshould also provide depth atthe guard positions.

“We have the best guardsin the conference,” said Jack-son, who averaged 7.4 pointsper game last season. “Thechemistry is a lot better on

and off the court this year andour bench is deep.”

Brooks said he doesn’t ex-pect his relatively small andguard-orientated team topress and trap as much as inprevious seasons. He believesthat the 2014-15 Bulldogs will,perhaps, be his best shootingteam during his tenure at theuniversity.

“We are really deep at theguards and the wings,” Brookssaid. “We share the ball andnobody really cares who thehigh scorer is. Hopefully wecan keep that attitude.

“I always want to get out intransition, but this team willneed to be better executingin the half court, getting guysgood shots. I don’t see a guyfor us that can get 25 points anight when everybody knowshe’s the guy that has to get 25.We got guys that can score inspurts andwe got to depend oneveryone.”

BASKETBALLContinued from Page B-1

Crossland junior Jose Lopezsaid he left the D.C. Unitedpre-Academy in part becausehe was frustrated by the fre-quent lineup changes, but alsobecause he wanted to rejoinhis friends on the Temple Hillsschool’s varsity team. Leavingthe Academy also allowed himto play for the Arundel Soccer

Association (ASA)BlackHawks,which provides a similar levelof competition, he said.

“They’re more like a travelteam,” Lopez said. “They goout and playmore.”

But the former Academyplayers still said they had posi-tive experiences. Granadoseven expressed some regretthat he didn’t stick with theAcademy system. “SometimesI think if I was on D.C. I wouldhavebeencommittedbynow,”

he said.Bowie junior Raul Moran,

who joined the Bulldogs thisfall after playing for the D.C.United pre-Academy last sea-son, said he still endorsed theAcademy system.

“They should try it andsee if they like it or not,” Mo-ran said. “And if they do, theyshould stick with it.”

At 3-6-1, Bowie finished inthebottomhalf of the SouthernDivision last year but will at-tempt to ride the momentumof a 1-0 start to this season.Bowie defeated Patuxent 7-3onNov. 7.

Working against the IceDogs, however, is a young teamwith just two seniors and verylittle depth, Bowie coach BillSchmidt said, and the teamwill have to manage its energyaccordingly.

“With a small roster of 11skaters and a goalie, we willhave to do our best to conserveenergy during the early stagesof the game to make sure wehave the stamina to compete inlate in thegame,” Schmidt said.

Senior defensemanTommy Locke and junior

goalie Kenny Bryant will likelybe vital to any potential suc-cess.

“I have a very strong coregroup of skaters, and we havesome size and strength inthere,” Schmidt said. “I believewe have the potential to havea very successful season. Wewill have to see how the shortbench works as we get into fluseason and any injuries thatmay crop up.”

The St. Vincent Pallotti HighSchool football team enteredSaturday’s game against Mary-land Interscholastic AthleticAssociation C Conference rivalAnnapolis AreaChristian Schoolat Archbishop Spalding lookingto knock off the Eagles for thesecond time in asmanyweeks.

The stakes were raised in therematch, as the MIAA-C cham-pionship and an opportunity tomove up to the league’s B Con-ference next year were on theline for the winner. Sophomorewide receiver/defensive backCameron Sullivan-BrownhelpedPallotti rise to the occasion anddefeat the Eagles, 43-14. It wasthe team’s first title since sharingitwithBoys’ Latin in 2005.

STAFFWRITER

Many of NASA’s GoddardSpace Flight Center’s creativebrightest will illustrate the fall-out from hard decisions whenthey put on a production of“Fanny” through the organiza-tion’sMusic andDrama club.

Set in Marseille, France,“Fanny” originally comesfrom a series of Marcel Pagnolfilms from the 1930s that wereadapted into a musical in 1954.Fanny and a young man, Mar-ius, fall in love, but the oceancalls to him, leaving Fanny withchild and feeling forced to enterinto a marriage with an olderman she does not have feelingsfor, Panisse.

The musical holds specialmeaning for director RichardRichardson, who proposed thepiece for this season as his di-recting debut. His mother grewup in Marseille, and she hadmarried an American sailor— Richardson’s father — afterWorld War II, instilling an inter-est in the time period for him.

“As a child, my motherwould takemeback to France tovisit her parents,” he said. “I’vebeen eight times, and I grewto love the people of Marseillebecause they’re warm and af-fectionate, with a great sense ofhumor. This show brings out allof those qualities.”

Richardsonhoped thequali-ties that drew him to the rela-

tively unknown musical wouldresonate with the group mem-bers in charge of planning thenext season.Theymust considerthe size of the staff, age-appro-priateness and availability be-fore signing off on a production

Luckily,many found theplotas intriguing as Richardson did.

“The thing that drew me tothe show was that concept of‘what if,’ thewhole exploration,”said producer Kathy Fontaine.“We all make choices, and weall act in a way we think is in thebest interest of everybody—buthow much do we really knowabout that interest? If we couldsee the consequences, whatwould we do?”

“No one had ever heard ofit,” Richardson added. “It waskind of a gamble, they just hadto give it a chance.”

Before submitting it, heasked Fontaine if she wouldproduce. She agreed to, butlater discovered that she wouldbe leaving NASA before themu-sical went into production. Notone to break a promise, she wasdetermined to produce fromafar, lending an ear for those

who needed to vent, and com-ing down to Bowie from upstateNewYork for the last week of re-hearsals.

“It’s tough— there are somethings where, when I worked atGoddard, I could go down thehall and take care of it,” she said.“It’s difficult not being able togo in and solve the problem, butit’s great being able to rely onthe production team and knowthey’re going to be able to re-solve an issue.”

In order to include the larg-est amount of club members,MAD typically double-caststheir productions. One personportraying Fanny is KatrinaJackson, who is a fairly newNASA employee. She found outabout the clubwhile interning atGoddard, and hoped she wouldbe able to come back and takepart in the group.

“I appreciate her difficultsituation,” she said. “She’s in atime period where it’s not reallyexpected she would go off anddo her own thing, so she’s sortof stuck there in the situationwhere the guy she likes has leftand is kind of forced into mar-rying this man she doesn’t havefeelings for.”

While Jackson sympathizeswith Fanny, her star-crossedparamour resonatesmore.

“I would probably be likeMarius,wanting to exploreotherplaces,” she said, “and I can’t re-ally imagine being in the sameplace in my own life. I don’treally connect well to Fanny’scomplacency, of not being curi-ous about exploringotherplacesin the world.”

n Hearty beer the mostpowerful of ales

Aswinter knocks on areadoors, heartier beers becomemore appealing. One of theserobust styles is the strong, rich,and hearty English Barleywine.Its name derives frombeingthe alcoholic equivalent ofwine butmade frombarley. Animportant British 1736 bookon the art of brewingmentionsstrong ales brewedwith “avinous character” for wealthyhouseholds.

Before the recent advent ofthe imperial styles, Barleywineswere themost powerful ofales. While there is evidence ofbrewing centuries earlier, thefirst documented Barleywinewas Bass No. 1 BarleyWinein 1903. On the bottle it saidit “has the character of a rarewine.” The first American ver-sionwas Anchor Brewing’s OldFoghorn in 1975.

Barleywines need a nicebrandy snifter to enjoy thefull aroma and sip the richcontents. They can be agedfor several years, impartinga smoothness andmellow-ness, while rounding out theirsharp edges and developing a

rich complexity that subtletychanges over time.

Barleywines have rich andstronglymalty bouquets, oftenwith notes of caramel, fruiti-ness, especially dark fruits, andmild tomoderate hops. Aromascan include low tomediumalcohol which tend to fadewith age as sherry and port-likequalities emerge and often darkfruits come to the forefront.

Flavors are normallystrong, intense and complexwith a wide palate that caninclude nutty, toast, bisquity,caramel, toffee, and/ormolas-ses. They have amoderate tohighmalt sweetness butmayfinish with dryness. Oftenthere is amoderate to highdried-fruitiness. Hop bitternessranges frommild to somewhatbitter withWest Coast versionsbeing hoppier than East Coastand British examples.

Barleywines are usuallyfull-bodied and chewywitha velvety texture. A smoothalcoholic warmth should bepresent but balanced. Alcoholranges from 7-15 percent alco-

hol by volume (ABV) with 35-70International Bittering Units(IBUs).

For the brewer barleywinesare difficult and costly to pro-duce involving large amountsof ingredients, primarily barley,and time, a fifth importantingredient added to the basicbarley, hops, water and yeast.

Thealcohol grows and becomesmore apparent in the finishand increases tomedium in theaftertaste but is well integratedasmolasses comes to the fore-front.Ratings: 9/9.

It’s the 1930s in England.Someone has beenmur-dered—GASP!— and it’s upto a group of folks who haveno business trying to solve amurder to actually solve saidmurder.

Gotta love those funnyBritish whodunits!

“Death by Design” is con-tinuing its run at the Green-belt Arts Center throughNov. 23.

Following a bad openingnight, playwright EdwardBennett and his actress wife,

Sorel, flee London to theircountry home. There, theyencounter multiple guests—a conservative politician, afiery socialist, a nearsightedingenue, a zanymoderndancer— each with a long-held secret. One is murderedand, well, I think you canfigure out the rest.

Tickets for the showare $14 to $20. Formoreinformation, visit greenbel-tartscenter.org or call 301-441-8770.

“Death by Design” continues its run at the Greenbelt Arts Center.

time, whymortals fear him.Death has tomake a

choice— leave the girl he’sfallen in love with to her fam-ily or take her back to theland of the deadwith him.

If it sounds familiar,chances are you saw BradPitt’s 1998 film “Meet JoeBlack,” with Claire Forlaniand AnthonyHopkins, itselfan adaptation of the play.

IN THE ARTS

MAD is just one of manyclubs through NASA thatconnect employees to otherssharing similar interests. Assuch, the actors are not paid,and they use their free time torehearse and prepare for eachproduction.

“We are not a professionaltheater group — this is mostlya group of scientists and en-gineers who just want to dosomething different in theiroff time,” Jackson said. “We’rejust regular people, we’re notsuper experienced with this.But it doesn’t matter if you’renot a professional actor, youcan still come together andcreate characters, create astory that engages you and isinteresting to watch.”

Whether professional,

full-time actors or NASA em-ployees looking for a creativeoutlet, anyone involved in aproduction of “Fanny” is sureto think of the choices they’vemade and what they’ve givenup in the process—andhope-fully will take away meaninglike Richardson and his familyhas.

“I think they will betouched by the characters inthe show as my mother was,”Richardson said. “It’s a realmusical comedy, and then thenext moment is tender andtouching. I think they’ll bemoved by the performancesand by the story.”

“It’s a cute story andmeans a lot to Richard,” Fon-taine added. “It’s a very specialconnection he has, and that’scoming out beautifully in theshow.”
