More than 200 students from St.Vincent Pallotti High School,their families and their friends

spent Saturday packing more than40,000 meals of dried rice and vegeta-bles that will be delivered to poor com-munities in the Caribbean and LatinAmerica.

“It was a really cool bonding ex-perience... I got to find out how somepeople work under pressure,” said Jes-sica Lee, 14, of Laurel, a freshman whoattended the fast-paced, music-filled

packing session in the Laurel school’sgym along with others from her class.

“And it actually saves lives,” addedfreshman Sabrina Alba, 14, of CollegePark.

The “Youth vs. Hunger” event,which is part of Pallotti’s yearly proj-ect to help people in need, was a col-laboration with Boca Raton, Fla.-basedCatholic organization Cross CatholicOutreach.

Cross Catholic Outreach providesaid to poor communities throughoutthe world as well as within the UnitedStates, and officials said Saturday’sevent, arranged through a Pallotti

board member who is a donor to theorganization, was the first time the or-ganization collaborated on a hands-onproject with a group outside of Florida.

The meals packed by the studentswill most likely be delivered to school-children in Haiti, Guatemala or Nica-ragua through partner organizationsin those countries, said Sandy Pino,school and community initiative forCross Catholic Outreach.

“It’s neat to see, to me, 250 kids ona Saturday doing this,” Pino said. “Somany other options and they’re here

As more and more national re-tailers deal with the threats of hack-ing and security breaches, PrinceGeorge’s County officials are doingtheir best to stay several steps aheadof would-be attackers.

“We actually have a full-timeteam that is looking for vulnerabilitiesthroughout our infrastructure,” saidVennardWright, chief informationof-ficer for the county. “The threats arealways changing.”

Wright said he made cybersecu-rity his main priority beginning July 1,afterdiscovering thecounty’snetworkhad certain vulnerabilities that mayhave made it prone to attacks fromhackers.

Although the systemhasnever ex-

perienced a data breach, Wright saidthe five-person cybersecurity teamnow works to ensure the county’spractices are in line with industrystandards for safeguarding sensitiveinformation such as credit card pay-ment data and health care records.

While many of his classmates atParkdale High School in Riverdale areconsidering their prom dates and col-lege applications, senior Alonzo Clarke,16, is weighing if he’s ready to return tothe pros.

Clarke, of New Carrollton, who hasjust returned toPrinceGeorge’sCountyafter a year spent playing soccer profes-sionally for Manchester United in Eng-land, said he is trying to decide if he willreturn to one of England’s most presti-gious soccer clubs or take one of severalscholarship offers he has received toplay soccer for a college in the U.S.

He is now finishing up credits heneeds to earn a diploma at Parkdalewhile playing soccer on the school’svarsity team and Washington, D.C.’s

D.C. United.“This is an opportunity that doesn’t

come around a lot — to play for one ofthe better soccer clubs in the world,”Clarke said of Manchester United.

After a scout saw him play during ashowcase inNewYork in the summerof2013,Clarke saidhewas invited toa trialin England, and Manchester United of-fered him a contract to play for theirunder-18 division last fall. In February,he said the club offered him a contractto play for the reserve division, and hedecidedhecouldn’t passup thechance.

But when his passport expired inAugust and he could no longer worklegally in England, Clarke and his fam-ily decided it would be best for him toput soccer on hold for the moment andreturn to school.

n Hyattsville tablesage-restricted agreement

with university

BY JAMIE ANFENSON-COMEAU

STAFF WRITER

Hyattsville is taking a pass on anagreement to allow residents to rideUniversity of Maryland buses, due toa condition that the bus passes be foradults only.

Hyattsville City Administra-tor Tracey Nicholson asked the CityCouncil to table an agreement withthe University of Maryland, CollegePark to receive passes for residents toride the university’s buses, due to itsinsistence that no one under 18 be al-lowed a pass.

“We recently found out that thoseunder 18 cannot even participatewhen accompanied by an adult,”

Nicholson said. “So we’d like sometime to work with the University ofMaryland on this.”

Calls and emails requesting com-ment from the university’s Depart-ment of Transportation Services werenot returned as of press time.

CouncilmanTimothyHunt (Ward3) said he objected to the age restric-tion.

“I certainly don’t want to be com-plicit in marginalizing a portion ofHyattsville’s residents,” Hunt said.

The agreement with the Univer-sity of Maryland, which would costthe city up to $5,000 for the first year,covers up to 1,000 passes.

Residents would be able to get apass for free during the first year byshowing proof of residency at the Hy-attsville Municipal Building.

The passes will allow users to ride

n Kenmoor Middle winsScience Bowl tiebreaker

BY EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY

STAFFWRITER

For the first time since Sci-ence Bowl host Dave Zahrencan remember, the student quizshow was flung into a “suddendeath” round when two arch-ri-val teams proved to be a perfectmatch Tuesday.

Kenmoor Middle School ofLandover and Walker Mill Mid-dle School of Capitol Heightsboth produced winning teamsduring the early seasons of thegame’s 29-year history, Zahrensaid, and their expertise wasevidenced during the middleschool competition Tuesdaywhen Kenmoor bested WalkerMill in a tie-breaking questionabout virusmutation.

“I cannot remember the lasttime we had a tie. It’s very rare,”

Zahren said. “They didn’t giveup. To me, that’s evidence ofpreparation and experience.”

Science Bowl is an an-nual tournament where PrinceGeorge’s County elementaryand middle schools compete inteams of three and answer Jeop-ardy-style questions related toscience.

Kenmoor, who holds themost championships in Sci-ence Bowl history with ninemiddle school victories, beatBeltsville Academy by morethan 400 points during roundone of Tuesday’s competition,while Walker Mill beat DwightD. EisenhowerMiddle School ofLaurel by nearly 200 points.

Prosun Das, 13, Kenmoor’steamcaptainwhohelpedclenchthe 2013-2014 Science Bowlchampionship title, said hethought the final round of com-petitionwas nerve-wracking.

“That was so close,” Prosunsaid. “I didn’t think we would

make it because theywereprettyfast on the buzzer, but we did.”

After tying up the score 225to 225 at the end of the finalround, Zahren announced arare sudden death match, andthat’s when Kenmoor playerJohnBridgers, 12, saidhe felt thepressuremount.

“My heart was racing,” hesaid.

The other players on theKenmoor team were first-time contestant ChimwemweChinkuyu and alternates Mira-cle Ephraim and JaredNorris.

Kenmoor will advance toplay Nicholas Orem MiddleSchool of Hyattsville at themid-dle school semi-finals onMarch17.

Cheryl Diallo, Kenmoorscience teacher and ScienceBowl team sponsor, attributesher team’s success to extensivepractice and review of previousScience Bowl games.

“They just practice, practice

practice,” Diallo said. “I thinkthey were awesome.”

Quickly buzzing in with an-swers on topics from planets toviruses, Walker Mill studentssaid they felt they playedwell.

“I’m so glad that my teamdid really well. We practicedteamwork,” said Walker Millteammember Paris Smalley, 13.

Lisa Jellison, a first-timejudge at Tuesday’s game, saidshe picked the right day to par-ticipate inScienceBowl. Jellison,a science teacher at RobertGod-dard Montessori in Seabrook,said someof her studentswill becompeting in Science Bowl forthe first time this year, and thatshe nowhas a good idea of whatthey are up against.

“I’m impressed, very im-pressed,” she said. “I can tellthese kids are really motivatedandhave good teachers. They’relearning science.”

n Advocates say stigmalimits job prospects

BY KIRSTEN PETERSENSTAFFWRITER

Steven Moore, 43, of Clin-ton said he has readjustedwell since he was releasedfrom prison six years ago,but his concern now is for hisyounger brother, Christopher,who is preparing to return tothe workforce after 15 yearsbehind bars.

“In order to get reinstated,you have to work and earn aliving,” Moore said. “If youcan’t earn a living the honestway, you’ll try to earn a livingthe dishonest way.”

To help ex-offenderslike Christopher Moore gainemployment, members ofthe Largo-based People forChangeCoalitionare advocat-ing for better re-entry servicesin Prince George’s County.

TeresaRobinson, the chairof the People for Change Co-alition’s re-entry committee,said PFCC members wantedto address employment is-sues for ex-offenders becausetheyhad familymemberswhowere previously incarceratedor they had business interac-tions with ex-offenders.

“What we want to do isencourage others in the com-munity at large to hire peoplereturning to the community,”Robinson said. “Once peopleget over the initial stigma ofthepopulation, itwill be easierfor them to consider a personcoming out of jail.”

Robinson said employ-ers sometimes perceive thatany crime committed by anapplicant is “heinous.” Whenan applicant shows they arequalified through trade cer-tifications they earned whileincarcerated, Robinson saidthey shouldbegivena chance.

“If we don’t give them anopportunity, what do theydo?” Robinson said.

Robinson said the PFCCre-entry committee will meetwith business owners to edu-cate them on employment is-sues and encourage them tohire ex-offenders.

Robinson said the com-mittee will also push for “banthe box” legislation, whichremoves a check box abouthaving a criminal record fromemployment applications,and advocate for a budget lineitem to fund re-entry servicesoffered by nonprofits.

Moore said banning thebox could help ex-offendersget their foot in the door, but

it may not get them a job.“I understand that ‘ban

the box’ means I’ll get an in-terview, but after the inter-view when I do a backgroundcheck? Red flag, tossed to theside, back where I started,”Moore said.

Prince George’s CountyCouncilman Obie Patterson(D-Dist. 8) of FortWashingtonproposed ban the box legisla-tion.

The bill passed a commit-tee hearing Oct. 16 with anamendment that permittedemployers to ask about an ap-plicant’s criminal history onlyat the endof an interview, Pat-terson said.

Patterson said this legisla-tionwould allow employers tohave face-to-face conversa-tions with prospective hiresand learn the specifics of theircriminal background, infor-mation that a check box be-lies. The council is expectedto vote on themeasure in No-vember, Patterson said.

“An employer might bewilling to give a person a sec-ond chance if they’re able tosee some strength and com-mitment from the person,”Patterson said.

In June, County Council-woman Karen Toles (D-Dist.7) of Capitol Heights intro-duced a bill that would estab-lish a re-entry hiring programthat would require countyagencies, departments andoffices give preference tonon-violent ex-offenders whenmaking hiring decisions. Thebill failed tomove out of com-mittee due to a split vote, Pat-terson said.

Moore said it’s about whoyou know when you leaveprison thatmatters themost.

“You’ll get a lot of rejec-tion,” Moore said. “Whatsaved me, somebody knowssomebody and got me, and Istayed on the right path fromthere.”

Greenbelt’sUtopiaFilmFes-tival is now in its 10th year, andwhile the theme of the eventcontinues to promote ideals of abetter society, the festival hopesto have a little something to in-terest everyone.“We have films for every-

body — kids, grown-ups, docu-mentary lovers, social activists.We have several environmentalfilms as well,” said Susan Ger-vasi ofGreenbelt, co-chair of theevent, now in its 10th year.The film festival runs Satur-

day and Sunday in Greenbelt atthe Greenbelt Arts Center, theGreenbelt Community Centerand the Greenbelt MunicipalBuilding.Gervasi said the event began

in 2005 as a way to showcaselocal filmmakers, but as theevent’s popularity has grown,it has come to include submis-sions from around the world.The event is the first inde-

pendent film festival in PrinceGeorge’s County, said co-chairChris Haley of Landover.“The expectations have also

risen over the years we havecontinued, and the filmmakerswho have submitted to us havea serious love and appreciationof what filmmaking could andshould be, and of Utopia as avalid expression of what a filmfestival could be,” Haley said.Filmmakers — local, re-

gional and national — featured

in the festival have run thegamutofprofessionals topeoplewho have only just picked up acamera to students, Haley said.“It’s fairly heartwarming to

see the work of kids whose filmsare very simple in their technicalabilities, but are very complex inthe messages they are convey-ing,” Haley said.Gervasi said the festival re-

ceives approximately 150 filmsubmissions a year, and only 30to 40make it into the festival.

The film festival this yearfeatures local classics such as“Heavy Metal Parking Lot,” adocumentary by Bowie nativeJeff Krulick of Silver Spring, whofilmed interviews with heavymetal fans outside a Judas Priestconcert held at the former Capi-tal Centre in Landover in 1986.“It’s a really funny film and

it really captures the spirit ofthe people who were into heavymetal music at that time,” Ger-vasi said.Gervasi said the festival

is hosting the U.S. premiereof Swedish independent film“FreakOut!”which tells the storyof a commune formed around1900 in the Swedish mountainsand examines its impact on the1960s counterculture move-ment.The festival will also feature

a home movie event, beginningat 1 p.m. Saturday, hosted byfilm scholar Caitlin McGrath ofGreenbelt.“What I want to do is intro-

duce people to the concept ofthe homemovie as archival ma-terial,” McGrath said. “We wantpeople to bring and share theirhome movies. We’re also goingtohavearchivists onhand to talkabout preservation.”Eight- and 16-millimeter

film projectors, VHS and DVDplayers will be on hand for theevent,McGrath said.Haley said one of the goals

of the festival is to show that youdon’t have to drive to a multi-plex to enjoy a goodmovie.“There’s a lot of different

movies out there that are notbig-budgetmovies, that can stillgive you joy and entertainment,that run the gamut of knownemotions and are still of finequality,” Haley said.The full schedule of events

can be found online at www.utopiafilmfestival.org.

Prince George’s CountyPublic Schools is planning toclose one under-enrolled ele-mentary school next year, and isconsidering converting anotherinto a center for preschool stu-dents.

The Maryland State Depart-mentofEducation requested theschool system come up with anaction plan for Thomas ClaggettElementary School in DistrictHeights due to declining enroll-ment and lagging performance,said Johndel Jones-Brown, di-rector of pupil accounting andboundaries at a Tuesday meet-ing at the school.

Claggett is currently enrolledat 236, which is 51 percent of itsState Rated Capacity, or SRC,which is the number of studentsthe school can hold without im-pacting learning. Its scores onthe 2013Maryland State Assess-ment, or MSA, are some of thelowest in the county, with only35 percent of students scoringproficient or better in math and55.1 percent scoring proficientor better in reading.

“The optionwe’ve chosen inregards to that school is to dis-continue its use as an elemen-tary school,” Jones-Brown said.

Approximately two-thirdsof the students currently zonedfor Claggett would attend JohnBayne Elementary School inWalkerMill. The remaining thirdwould attend District HeightsElementary.

John Bayne Elementary is1.5 miles from Claggett; DistrictHeights Elementary is slightlyunder one mile. Jones-Brownsaid both schools could absorbthe additional students and re-main under capacity.

“I’m very happy about thischange,” said Lauren Taylor ofDistrict Heights, whose daugh-ter attends the second grade atClaggett. She said she is lookingforward to her daughter attend-ing District Heights, which iscloser to her home.

Sha-Neeka Gordon of Capi-tol Heights, mother of a secondgrade student at Claggett saidshe wished Claggett would stay

open, and she is concernedher son might be sent to JohnBayne, which Gordon said hastoomany students.

“John Bayne is too over-crowded, and when there arestudentswhodoneedhelp, theyprobably won’t give them thehelp that they need, becausethere are too many,” Gordonsaid.

Bayneofficials saidWednes-day the school has a capacity of500 students and has about 450enrolled.

The school system is alsoconsidering converting an-other under-enrolled school,Kenmoor Elementary School

in Landover, into an EarlyChildhood Center, or ECC. Thecounty has four ECCs, whichserve two-to-four-year olds.

Jones-Brown said two ECCs— Frances Fuchs ECC in Belts-ville and H. Winship WheatleyECC in Capitol Heights — areseverely overcrowded, and cur-rently utilize 16 and 14 tempo-rary buildings, respectively.

Kenmoor Elementary,

which is enrolled at 55 percentcapacity, is centrally located toboth centers. If Kenmoor is con-verted to an ECC, its studentswould be sent to William PacaElementary in Landover.

Mykl Baylor of Glenardensaid his sonwas looking forwardto another year at Kenmoor,and he doesn’t want to see theschool close.

“I feel like putting a large

number of kids into classroomsto accommodate these EarlyLearningCenters is going tohurtthe kids in the long run,” Baylorsaid.

CEO Kevin Maxwell is ex-pected to make his recommen-dations to the school boardDec.15.

n Jamboree-on-the-Airconnects county youthworldwide over airwaves


Cadewryn Fletcher, 11, aBoyScout fromUpperMarlborosaidhewasnervous to stepup tothe mic Saturday night and talkto a stranger over amateur radio.

But with encouragementfrom his mother and brother,Cadewryn sat at a picnic tablewith amateur radio operatorKennethGreenhouse, 68, ofUp-perMarlboro and chatted abouthis favorite color with a BoyScout in Saskatchewan,Canada.

“I think it’s awesome,”said Cadewryn’s mother, Re-nea Fletcher, 47, “I guess forso many years you tell them,‘Don’t talk to strangers,’ andnow it’s time to talk to strang-ers.”

Boy Scouts and Cub Scoutsfrom Prince George’s Countygathered at the AmericanLegion Southern MarylandDistrict Youth Camp in Chel-tenham on Oct. 18 for the 57thannual Jamboree-on-the-Air,an amateur radio event thatconnected scouts all over theworld.

Amateur radio, also knownas “ham” radio, started out asan experimental communica-tion technology that is nowused primarily for emergencysituations, said Kenny Court-ney, 74, of Clinton, a memberof theAmerican LegionPost 275Amateur Radio Team in Glena-rden.

“Amateur radio is yourlast point of communication,”Courtney said. “If you have acatastrophe, the first thing thatwill go down is phone lines.Amateur radio still stays up.”

Lenny Wertz, the vice chairof programs for the PrinceGeorge’s District of the BoyScouts of America NationalCapital Area Council, saidscouts could earn a radio meritbadge by participating in theJamboree-on-the-Air becausethey may need to use the tech-

nology in the future.“Scouts sometimes partici-

pate in certain emergency re-sponse areas,” Wertz said. “Itadds to our goal of building ourscouts into solid, participatingcitizens.”

LeRoy Parham, Jr., thePrince George’s District’s com-missioner for scouting, saidsome scouts’ hesitation to talk-ing over amateur radio may berelated to the increased use oftexting and emailing as ways tocommunicate.

“Kids are texting, kids areemailing. They don’t talk on thephone as much,” Parham said.“I think there’s an unfortunatedisconnect with something asbroad as amateur radio. They’renot used to that direct interac-tion.”

Cadewryn said he prefersto talk to people face-to-faceunless he knows them well al-ready. He said speaking overamateur radio, which involvespushingabuttonwhile speakinginto the microphone, encour-ages better communication.

“You don’t type. You actu-ally speak and you can’t talk

over each other because it won’twork well,” Cadewryn said.

JamesWeber, 9, a Cub Scoutfrom Andrews Air Force Base,talked over amateur radio abouthis favorite football team, the St.Louis Rams.

“I actually liked it,” Jamessaid. “The funny part is youdon’t even know who you’retalking to.”

Courtney said he first start-ing using amateur radio 20years ago and he hopes eventslike Jamboree-on-the-Air willinspire young people to becomecertified operators.

There aremore than700,000licensed radio operators in theU.S., according to the PrinceGeorge’s CountyAmateurRadioEmergency Service website.

“I like telling people aboutamateur radio because it’s a lotof fun,” Courtney said. “Mostoperators arepeoplemyageandwe get young people involvedto keep the service from dyingout.”

Boy Scouts tune in to ‘ham’ radio

KIRSTEN PETERSEN/THE GAZETTE

Cub Scout James Weber, 9, of Joint Base Andrews chats Saturday about hisfavorite football team over amateur radio with help from Kenny Courtney,74, of Clinton during the Jamboree-on-the-Air, an international amateur radioevent for Boy Scouts.

Cora Rice ElementarySchool in Landover celebratedits Family Literacy Night onOct. 16.

Approximately 220 stu-dents and their families at-tended the event, said readingspecialist Karen Streeter.

“One of our focuses thisyear is for literacy to develop,even for the younger kids,”said Cora Rice PrincipalMattieTurman. “Wewant them to seethat reading is the baseline foreverything they do, in school

and in life.”Katy Kelly, a Washington,

D.C., children’s author was theguest of honor. Kelly read ex-cerpts from her “Melonhead”and “Lucy Rose” series, andled a group activity to help stu-dents become future authors.

“If you write one page aday, every day, in a year, you’llhave 365 pages. You’ll havewritten a book,” Kelly said.

The school also gave awayover 800 freebooks to students.

Families were led on a tour

of classroomdoors,whichweredecorated based on themesfrom different books read bythe students. The school alsoheld reading activities for stu-dents and their families.

“Parents can see how ex-cited the children get aboutreading,” Turman said. “And itgivesparents anopportunity tosee howwepromote literacy inthe classroom.”

Howard Berger, supervisor ofhistoric preservation for thePrince George’s County Plan-ning Department.

“I am extremely gratefulthat they have put their trustin us, and in Pizzeria Para-disio, and we will absolutelymake them very, very gladthey made the decision theymade today,” said Johnson,surrounded by over 40 sup-porters at themeeting—manywearing “Give Pizza a Chance”buttons.

Johnson said that whenthe art studio purchased theMarche building in 2012, theyhad no knowledge the build-ing had been placed on a listof historic resources, until sheattempted to get a permit to dowork on the building.

That triggered a hearingbefore the Historic Preserva-tion Commission, which de-termined the building shouldbe placed on the county’s his-toric register.

Johnson said the historicsite designation would makeit impossible to share thebuilding with the pizzeria, andthe corporate partnership isneeded to make the move toHyattsville economically fea-sible.

“We need Pizzeria Para-disio’s rent money to pay themortgage,” Johnson said.

The building has been van-dalized, and is in a state of di-lapidation, said William “Bill”Shipp, attorney for Art WorksNow.

“During the hearing pro-cess that has been going onover the past year, the glass inthe greenhouse has continuedto be broken out, as you willhave in a vacant building,”Shipp said. “We want to getthis building fixed up and oc-

cupied, to be an anchor for thecorridor and to be productivefor the community.”

Stuart Eisenberg, directorof the Hyattsville CommunityDevelopment Corp., said thebuilding in its current stateis not usable for most busi-nesses, and that the main dan-ger to the building is neglectdue to vacancy.

To preserve its historiccharacter, Eisenberg said, thebest opportunity would be tonot list it as an historic site.

Johnson said the art studiowould work to preserve thehistoric nature of the building,and was amenable to includ-ing a plaque detailing its his-toric significance.

Councilman Will Campos(D-Dist. 2) of Hyattsville saidhe has fond memories of theMarche florist shop.

“What good is a historicbuilding that cannot contrib-ute to our present other thanby existence alone?” Camposasked during the hearing.

Councilwoman MaryLehman (D-Dist. 1) of Laurel,the sole ‘nay’ vote in the deci-sion, said that while Art Worksmay preserve the building,overturning the historic sitedesignation will not protectthe building in the long run.

“While it sounds as if thiscurrent owner will mostly pre-serve the architectural integ-rity of this building, lifting thedesignation does not preventa future owner from eithersubstantial modifications or... demolition of this uniquestructure,” Lehman said.

sensitive information is a 24-7task, say county cybersecurityexperts.

Through October, thecounty is offering online cyber-security training to its approxi-mately 6,000 employees, as wellas doing additional trainingwithdepartmentheads regardingpo-tential threats, Wright said.

Wright said he is payingparticular attention to com-

puter viruses containing mali-cious links, which may be sentto employees via email and canimpact an entire network if theemployee clicks on the link.

The University of Maryland,College Park, experienced itsown cyber attack in Februaryas University president WallaceD. Loh announced that 309,079Social Security numbers, birthdates, university identificationnames and numbers were ex-posed in a data breach.

UM is in the midst of train-ing the next generation of cy-

bersecurity warriors as part ofits Advanced Cybersecurity Ex-perience for Students, or ACES,program.

“There’s a lot of appliedknowledge of cybersecurity,”said Zhixiang Lin, 20, a UMsophomore, who added hehopes to work in a field thatmerges software engineeringand cybersecurity. “That’s notsomething that you can get fromreading textbooks.”

Lin is among 112 sopho-mores and freshmen who wereinvited to participate in the “liv-

ing and learning” ACESprogramwhen they applied to the univer-sity, said ACES director MichelCukier.

The students, who planto major in fields as diverse ascomputer science, psychology,engineering, criminology andbusiness, will graduate withdiplomas in their respectivemajors and a citation in cyber-security.

“You have a deficit of peopleworking in cybersecurity, so youneed to attract very, very tal-entedpeople,” Cukier said of thefour-yearprogramthat launchedin 2013 andwill continue addingincoming freshmen for the next

two years. “What you do is, youreach out, you bring very differ-ent people into the field.”

At UMD’s Maryland Cyber-security Center, researchers areworking to make public net-works more secure by studyingthe behavior of network users.

“I think there’s a great re-alization that the problems ofcybersecurity aren’t only tech-nical ones,” said Jonathan Katz,director the Maryland Cyberse-curity Center who will lead theNational Science Foundation-funded study along with DavidMaimon, a criminology profes-sor. “There’s also, for example,understanding user behavior,

understanding why users mighttake insecure actions.”

Katz said the yearlong studywill look at the online behaviorof Internet users such as do-ing banking while connectedto a public network, whetherthey visit news sites mostly orwhether they try to downloadharmful software in coffeeshops, libraries and other pub-lic places that offerWi-Fi acrossMaryland.

Katz said they will recordthe information without infor-mation which would identifythe user.

Pino said she hopes to startpartnerships to work on simi-lar events with other schoolsthroughout the country.

“It’s oneof thebiggest thingswe’ve done...and where we’vehad the largest groupof people,”said Sister Karen Lester of Lau-rel, who teachesmath at Pallotti.“Rather than just giving a dona-

tion, we wanted to have some-thing where they do some work—hands on.”

In order to pay for the food,the students donated moneyas well – more than $10,000 –which, combined with about$15,000 raised by the school’sboard of directors, gave themmore than $27,000 in funds tobuy food, said school principalJeff Palumbo.

Palumbo said students typi-cally get involved in a serviceproject every year — from help-ing the schoolhost adental clinic

in 2013 to volunteering in soupkitchens to working on fooddrives — but none of the pastprojects have drawn as manyvolunteers as Saturday’s event.

“I think it probably would’vegone a couple more hours ifthere was more food,” Palumbosaid, adding that part of theevent thatwasattendedbyabout250 people included a competi-tion to see which class couldpack quickest—whichwas wonby the juniors. “Hopefully thiswill inspire a lot of other schoolsto do the same thing.”

“100 percent” if he has the op-portunity to play professionallyagain.

Clarke, who comes from afamily of soccer players — in-cluding his father, older brotherand uncle — said he has schol-arship offers from about four

schools in the U.S.For now, he is focusing on

completing his classes whiletraining and practicing drillsfor a few hours a day, both be-fore and after school.

“The one thing he bringsthat none of the other players

bring is accountability,” saidSadak Abukar of Riverdale, whocoaches Clarke on the varsitysoccer team at Parkdale. “Thatmakes any coach’s job easier.”

Aside from Clarke’s skill inplaying the sport, Abukar saidhe is positive and encouraging

toward other players on theteam, as well as a leader thatothers look up to. And despitethe time he spent playing pro-fessionally, Abukar said Clarkeis always willing to take sug-gestions and has a positive at-titude.

“I’m humble,” said Clarke,who would like to become asports journalist in the event asoccer career doesn’t pan out.“Every day is a new time tolearn.”

The Route #113 shuttlebus runs through Hyatts-ville, stopping at the Mall atPrince Georges and the PrinceGeorge’s Plaza Metro station.

College Park and Green-belt both have similar agree-ments with the University ofMaryland. Greenbelt chargesresidents $10 a year forpasses. College Park gives itspasses for free.

The Greenbelt and Col-lege Park programs are notage restricted, according toofficials from both cities.

Hunt said it was his un-derstanding the universityhad no plans to impose agerestrictions on College Parkor Greenbelt, and said he feltit was unfair to single out Hy-attsville youth and families.

A positiveapproach to politics

Making Route 1 better forpedestrians and drivers

OUROPINIONS LET TERS TOTHEEDITOR

The saying goes that you should never discuss religion,sex and politics in polite company—with the latter topicbeing themost difficult as the general election nears.

With the country struggling to overcome the effectsof the recession,many politicians and residents havedifferent views onwhat the recovery should look like,what spending should be prioritized andwhat legislativechanges should bemade. Ideally, discussions on the direc-tion of the country and Prince George’s County should beconstructive, but all too often, conflicting views on poli-tics— to include something asminor as party affiliation— lead to personal attacks rather than simply agreeing todisagree.

The Gazette is no newcomer to this. When the editorialboard endorses Democrats, it is sometimes criticized forbeing “afraid” of going against the state’s one-party rule.When Republicans are endorsed, the board is occasionallydenounced for “betraying” residents. Some even attackthe ethics of the newspapers and its employees, simply be-cause they disagree with the company’s endorsements.

And that’s fine. Everyone is entitled to their opinion;it’s part of whatmakes us a great nation.

However, political discussions can bemuchmoreproductive whenwe stick to the issues and prioritize find-ing solutions— and focus less on trying tomake everyonethink the sameway.

At the polls Nov. 4, there are likely to be children in at-tendance as their parents or other familymembers castballots. It’s a great opportunity for them to learn the im-portance of voting and being involved in community deci-sions. The lessons don’t have to start at the polls, however.

Let’s start by having constructive conversations on thetopics affecting our communities and understand thatdiffering opinions can be a positive thing— rather than al-lowing our thoughts on the issues, and the candidates, todivide us.

College Park is undergoing amajor transformationwhen it comes to pedestrian safety.

In addition to numerous trafficmeasures, the Uni-versity ofMaryland recently even held a Think-A-Thonfocused on brainstormingways tomake the area friendlierfor walkers.

The effort is welcomed given the pedestrian deathsthat have occurred alongU.S. Route 1.With three so far in2014, it’s clear something had to be done to address thedangers occurring due to the largemix of pedestrian andvehicular traffic.

However, one important piece of the problem seems tobe getting overlooked: the congestion.

City and state leaders have debated for years how toalleviate the traffic backups along Route 1, and to this day,traveling on the roadway in College Park continues to be adriver’s nightmare.

Some residents worried whether the new pedestrian-activated traffic signal at the intersection of Route 1 andHartwick Roadwould add to the congestion. Pedestriansneeding to cross at that intersection can now push a but-ton, which turns the light red in all four directions to allowfor safer passage.

Officials say the signal will communicate with othertraffic signals to help keep traffic flowing, so traffic conges-tion shouldn’t get any worse.

Hopefully, they are right— after all, any additionalchallenges could put Route 1 at a complete standstill atcertain times of the day.

We understand there is no quick fix for traffic backups,but officials should continue tomake resolving the con-gestion a top issue to ensure that residents, businesses andvisitors aren’t being forced to simplymake themost out ofa crowded situation.

The city, university and state deserve kudos for their ef-forts tomake the streets safer. It seems they have thoughtof every possible challenge: adding a fence to prevent jay-walking, reducing the speed limit and promoting a cam-paign to get pedestrians to “walk smart.”

Now that the roads are friendlier to pedestrians, it’stime tomake them friendlier to drivers, too.


Pedestrians cross U.S. Route 1 at Hartwick Road in College Park aftertriggering the new traffic signal.

Larry Hogan, the Republican guber-natorial candidate, has committed theunpardonable sin—he’s closedwithinstriking distance of winningMaryland’sgovernor’s race. For this hemust be pun-ished. No, hemust be destroyed.

If you think the Democrats and theirpress corps allies haveresorted to distor-tions, falsehoods,biased reportingand selective fact-checking to date, justwait until you seewhat happens be-tween now and Elec-tionDay. By the timethey’ve finishedwithLarry Hogan, hisownmother won’trecognize him.

So far, Demo-cratic candidate Anthony Brown’s anti-Hogan ads have been breathtakinglyunfair and untrue. For instance, HoganopposesMaryland’s abortion law, even forrape and incest. The source? A 1980Hoganstatement when hewas 28 years old andwhich he revised in 1992.

AndHogan is responsible for the 40percent college tuition hikes that occurredduring the Bob Ehrlich administration.Source?Well, says Brown, HoganwasEhrlich’s patronage chief and some of Eh-rlich’s university appointments voted forthe tuition hikes. Likewise, Brown holdsHogan responsible for Ehrlich’s “DreamAct” veto.Why? “Larry Hoganwas partof that leadership team that vetoed theDreamAct. No governormakes a decisionin isolation,” says Brown.Wow, collectiveculpability!

And Brown’s smear-Hogan campaignis getting plenty of help from the “objec-tive” press corps.

Baltimore Sun reporters pored over 52state audits until they found aHoganmis-take that they, and Brown, could twist intoan attack ad. Hogan cited as “waste andfraud” $450million of school constructionprojects that were not fully supervised.

From this, the Sun and Brown extrapo-lated that Hogan intends slashing schoolconstruction funds.

What followedwas the usual unscru-pulous patty cake between themedia andtheDems. Themedia invents a contro-versy-creating news story No. 1. Then theDems use it to attack Hogan, news storyNo. 2. ThenHogan denies it, news storyNo. 3. Then come the editorials and col-umns until the smear is firmly imprintedon the voter’s consciousness.

The same thing with gun control.Washington Post reporters found somegun advocates who claimHogan said he’dmake getting a state police-approved carrypermit easier.Working together, themediaand theDemsmorphed this into Hoganplotting to repeal gun control.

It doesn’tmatter that Hogan swears hewon’t repealMaryland’s abortion and gunlaws, or that he won’t reduce school con-struction. Nor does it matter that theme-dia and Brown fully understand that, evenif Hoganwanted to, he couldn’t get suchmeasures through theDem-controlledlegislature and Board of PublicWorks. Thepurpose of the smears is to scare votersaway fromHogan’smessage: toomanytaxes and a state heading in the wrongdirection.

Will it work?Well, it worked like acharm in 1998. Amonth before the elec-tion, Republican Ellen Sauerbrey trailedGov. Parris Glendening by only two points.Political consultants observed that if thegovernor didn’t air ads that people talkedabout soon, hemight not win a secondterm.

Glendening’s problemwas the blackvote, which hewon by 95 percent in1994 but was down to 74 percent in 1998because the state’s top two local African-American leaders, BaltimoreMayor KurtSchmoke and P.G. County ExecutiveWayne Curry, were not supporting him.

So Glendening fired his long-timemedia adviser and, at the urging of Lt. Gov.Kathleen Kennedy Townsend andU.S.Sen. BarbaraMikulski, hired Bob Shrum, anotorious PR hitman.

Together, Shrum andGlendening tookthree obscure votes Sauerbrey cast in theHouse of Delegates and distorted theminto TV ads falsely claiming she would“turn back the clock” on civil rights.

The ads were lies: the bills in ques-tion includedmeasures killed byDems,including blacks, because they went toofar. Noneweremajor civil rights bills andone dealt with gender, not race. But theymade great ads for scaring blacks into vot-ing for Glendening. Sort ofWillie Hortonin reverse. “They put her on the defensiveon an issue that gave her a David Duke-type smell,” chortled one pundit. As soonas the scary ads hit, Sauerbrey’s numbersbegan to fall.

A few courageous black Dems spokeout. “I will not participate in a campaignto try to persuade people that she (Sau-erbrey) is a racist,” saidMayor Schmoke.Del. Tony Fulton, a black Dem, added,“I’m disappointed, disgusted and dis-mayed by themethods used in this cam-paign— it’s race-baiting.”

But the race-baiting worked, a deadheat became a 12-point Glendening vic-tory thanks, largely, to the unusual blackvoter turnout that swelled from 12 percentin 1994 to 21 percent in 1998. In Baltimorecity, Glendening’s campaignmanager,Julius Henson, recalls, “When I said EllenSauerbrey was against civil rights, blackpeople were lining up at 10 a.m., they werewrapped around the corner. Black peoplevote in the evening, andwhen they werewrapped around the corner at 10 a.m., weknew it was over.”

Now, 16 years later, Anthony Brown,like Glendening, desperately needs a bigAfrican-American turnout to win a tightrace.Will the Dems resort to the samerace-baiting that worked in 1998? Counton it.

Halloween dirty tricks

Imagine for amoment that someagency, in an attempt to establish theaverage bodymass index for Americans,used players in the NFL as the original“sample.” Aftercarefully establish-ing the range andthemean for BMIin the entire league,would it be reason-able to look at therest of the Ameri-can population anddeclare that thehuman species wasshrinking?

The absurdityof the proposal is staggering.

However, this is the scenario that hasbeen played out for years with the Scho-lastic Achievement Test when newspapersdecry our nation’s “plummeting” SATscores.

The validity of this standardized testfor anything other than determining thesocio-economic status of those sitting forthe exammight be the topic of a futurearticle. Cost is listed as one of themajorimpediments to sitting for the exam.

Today, however, alarmist headlines areinexcusable when, for decades, the SATwas normed against and administered toAmerica’s academic elite, the upper quar-tile of high school students.

We aremoving, albeit at a glaciallyslow pace, toward a society that discour-ages the concept of disposable children. Aswe come closer to furnishing all childrenthe opportunity to compete against theirpeers, we are inexorably increasing thesample size.

Statisticians will confirm that the“average” score will invariably fall as thesample size increases.

Except in the case of a totally random-ized sample, it is foolish to expect other-

wise. The SAT has yet to be normed on arandom sample across the spectrum of allAmerican students.

Yet, such realities do not hinder ideo-logues fromusing such erroneous dataanalysis as political fodder to question theeffectiveness of our public schools.

Diane Ravitch clearly illustrates in“Reign of Error” that student achievementand academic performance has beensteadily improving for decades accordingto a host of othermeasures.More studentsknowmore aboutmore subjects, and atearlier ages, than ever before in our his-tory.

Moving forwardwill require that irrele-vant sound bites and erroneous headlinesnot drive the debate around educationalegalitarianism.

COMMENTARYKENNETH HAINES

Anthony Brown boasts that hehas redefined the role of lieutenantgovernor ofMaryland. He is proudthat he has worked closely withGov.Martin O’Malley to advancethe Democratic agenda. He says heshares O’Malley’s values and hisvision forMaryland. Youwould ex-pect Brown to take responsibility forhis record, but he does not.

Brown dismisses undesirablequestions about his two terms aslieutenant governor by saying elec-tions are not about the past, butrather the future. Hewants voters toignore his eight-year record of fail-ure and elect him the next governorofMaryland. Now, would you hire apersonwho refused to provide a re-sumé because they considered theirwork history irrelevant? If you votefor Brown, that is exactly what youwill be doing.

Your vote will say you do notcare that the campaign promise ofO’Malley and Brown to not raisetaxes was an outrageous lie. Morethan 40 new or increased taxes andfees were imposed onMaryland

residents— taxes and fees that hitlow-income families the hardest.

Your vote will say you do notcare thatMaryland ranked 49th inthe nation for economic growthin 2013 and ranks third in the na-tion for home foreclosures. Yourvote will say you do not care thatMaryland lostmore than 8,000 busi-nesses and 200,000 jobs while theunemployment rate doubled.

Your vote will say you do notcare that theMaryland health ex-change was an epic failure due toBrown’s grossmismanagement.More than $200million in taxpay-ers’ moneywas wasted on awebsitethat was never used. The total costof the abandoned system has yet tobe revealed.

Maryland is now at a tippingpoint where 47 percent of its resi-dents want to leave the state.Weneed new leadership to turn thisaround.We cannot afford anotherfour years of the O’Malley/Brownvision and governance.

On July7 the PrinceGeorge’sCounty PublicSchools athlet-ics office helda hearing todecide if DuValHigh Schoolwould have toforfeit its firstfootball victoryof this season.Nearly fourmonths later, we stilldon’t know.

What’s taking so long? Shortanswer: Lawyers got involved. I’mnot a patientman, so I’m appointingmyself tomake the decision.

Giving the Parkdale version ofevents is Athletic Director BrianMoore:

Last spring Parkdale footballcoach Chuck Pope sent some of histop players to a 7-on-7 combine withother county schools, hoping to givethem some exposure with college re-cruiters whomay be in attendance.

Almost immediately after theMarch combine, rumors spreadaround campus that four Parkdalefootball players were leaving theRiverdale Park school and transfer-ring to DuVal.

Later as the rumors persisted,they learned that the four studentswent to the Lanham school for anopen gymworkout while they werestill Parkdale students, a clear viola-tion of county rules. Earl Hawkins,director of athletics for PGCPS,was notified and an investigationlaunched. Of the four Parkdalefootball players, only two ended uptransferring to DuVal and only oneis playing on this year’s Tigers team(he is a key player onwhat appearsto be a playoff team). The other isacademically ineligible.

Offering the DuVal view, Frank-lin Crispi, former athletic director atthe school (new AD JasonMatternjust started thismonth andwasn’tinvolved in these events):

One of the four Parkdale boyshas an uncle who is a volunteer as-sistant coach at DuVal. More thanthat, he is themale rolemodel inthis boy’s life. Three of the boys pro-cessed the paperwork to transfer toDuVal and it was approved. The boysshowed up to work out at DuVal, ac-cording to Crispi, because they weretold they were no longer welcome atParkdale.

DuVal football coachDameonPowell was not supervising the opengymworkout on the day in ques-tion.When he heard the Parkdaleboys were there, he escorted three ofthem to the office and had them callfamily for rides home.

The fourth boy, however, workedout with his uncle on the field whilethe football teamwas participatingin open gymworkouts inside.Whenthe football teamwent outside, theuncle and his nephewwent inside.At no time, according to Crispi, didthe boywork out with the DuValfootball team.

That workout, a nephew and hisuncle exercising at DuVal’s campus—which is open to the communitywhen not being used for officialschool business— is the violation,Crispi said. No evidence of recruitingwas found.

The aftermath: Hawkins decidedthat DuVal would have to forfeitits first win of this season (whichhappened to be a 48-0 victory vs.Parkdale) for an open gym viola-tion. DuVal appealed that decision.Hawkins told theWashington Postthat the PGCPSOffice of LegalCounsel will make a decision on thatappeal. He told The Gazette on Tues-day that they are waiting on a replyfromPowell’s attorney before issuinga decision.

The verdict: Perceptionmatters.Let’s say there was no recruiting, justfour friends whowanted to play theirfinal year of high school football witha playoff team. Still, until all the Isare dotted and Ts crossed, if you area part of the coaching staff at DuVal,you have to bemindful of how itlooks if youwork out at your schoolwith a student from another school,nomatter the relationship.

Appeal denied, forfeit stands.DuVal will probably still make theplayoffs and at least everyonewillhave this uncertainty removed.

Minutes before an Oct. 6 homegame against Charles H. Flowers HighSchool, ParkdaleHigh School volleyballcoach Katie McMillan ran her fingerup the her team’s roster, filling in thenames of a handful of players she wasbringing up from junior varsity. Sud-denly,herfinger stoppednext to theNo.5, as thefirst-year coach lookedup fromthe roster and out onto the court.

“Watch her,” McMillan said, nod-ding towards her towering middle,M’Kaela White. “You’ll notice her rightaway.”

So when the 6-foot-3 junior sentthe Jaguars’ first shot of thematch rightback at their feet, McMillan couldn’thelp but smile. Just a year before, thebubbly blocker had decided to give thesport a try. Now, she’s the leader of ateam that could’ve imploded after los-ing four starters to injury or academicsuspension.

“I think without her it would havebeen tough to continue going on,” Mc-Millan said ofWhite.

With a 6-foot-5 father and a 5-foot-10 mother, White would seem to bea shoo-in for athletic success. But itwasn’t until last year when she foundher real calling in sports. She had given

basketball a shot during her preteenyears, butWhite never developed an af-finity for the game.

“In middle school, around seventhgrade I played basketball,” White said.“It didn’t suit me and it didn’t fit me. Ididn’t like it at all.”

It was shortly after that time that agym teacher approached White aboutgiving volleyball a shot, something sheconsidered but didn’t act on until hersophomore year, abstaining fromextra-curricular activities her freshman yearso she could focus onher studies.

Right away, White knew she hadfoundher niche.

“I loved it,” said White. “It just fit

me.”Naturally, the 6-foot-3 sopho-

more was labeled as a middle and wasplaced under the tutelage of two-timeAll-Gazette middle Christina Oyawele,who now plays at Syracuse University.InOyawele,White found someonewhohad been where she was and who un-derstood the frustrationsof learning thegame and the position.

“I basically shadowed her,” Whitesaid of Oyawele. “We’re around thesame height, so all of the struggles Iwas going through and the frustration,she [had been] there. She had climbed

n Jaguars get outplayed in footballgame, but make key plays to win 16-13

STAFFWRITER

It’s not often that a football team doublesthe amount plays and yards as its opponentrecords and loses, but that’s what Northwest-ern High School did Saturday in a 16-13 loss toCharles H. Flowers in Springdale.

The Wildcats ran for more yards (218) thanFlowers gained in total (171), but penalties pre-vented them from crossing the goal line when-ever they got close. Northwestern ran 71 plays tojust 30 plays run by the Jaguars.

On its first two possessions of the game,Northwestern’s offense reached Flowers’ 15-yard line and didn’t score on either drive. Run-ning back Janard Taylor ran for 94 of his 127yards in the first half, but the Wildcats trailedFlowers 8-0 at halftime.

Flowers’ offense struggled to maintain con-sistent drives, but scored at the end of the sec-ond quarter on a 35-yard pass fromquarterbackBrian Brown to tight end Kirk Spencer.

“I just [saw Spencer] waving his hands atfirst,” said Brown, who had to elude a few passrushers before making the throw. “So, I lookeddown there and threw the ball across my shoul-der. And I looked up, he caught the ball and Iwas like, ‘Alright.’”

Brown only attempted three passes in thecontest as Flowers used a number of differentball-carriers to try to open up the run game theyrely on.

quarter, and on its second pos-session, senior running backMalik Murray broke off a 28-yard run.

Four plays later, Jose Hollo-way scored on a 30-yard run toput the Jaguars ahead 16-0.

The two runs accounted for

half of Flowers’ total amountof yards on the ground for theentire game, but it was justenough to beat theWildcats.

“When I caught the ball, [Isaw] it open up the middle,”Holloway said about his longtouchdown. “I cut up in themiddle. It was open. That’swhen our receiver sealed off thesafety, and I just cut off his buttand just took it to the house,”

Flowers coach Mike Mayoacknowledged that his teammade plays when it needed to,but said he wasn’t happy withthe blocking up front.

“I wasn’t happy with theproduction of the offensiveline today. But we did it whenwe had to,” Mayo said. “Butwe weren’t consistent. And youcan’t be inconsistent when yourun what we run.”

Northwestern respondedon the possession followingHolloway’s touchdown. TheWildcats overcame severalpenalties to cap a 72-yard drivewith a 2-yard touchdown runby running back IkechukwuOgwuegbu. The two-point con-version failed.

Three possessions later,Northwestern drove 70 yardsand scored on a 1-yard sneak

by quarterback Eber Medranoto pull within a field goal in thefourth quarter.

Northwestern got anotherchance when it recovered theensuing onside kick.

But a sack by Flowers de-fensive back DeMarco Johnsonforced a longHailMary attemptby Medrano that was inter-cepted by Rahim Soumah.

“When you look at the first

half, I don’t know how manyyards of penalties we had, butit had to be close to 100 yards,”Northwestern coach BryanPierre said. “So, [if] we can takecare of that, than it’s not the sit-uation that we had at the end.But I love the guys for fightingthrough because the last twoweeks they quit on themselves.”

High Point may be the favorite, but sev-eral schools are capable of coming out ofthe 4A South Region. That includes Parkdale— the defending champions; Eleanor Roos-evelt (Greenbelt)— the top seed inSection II;Bowie— the lone team to defeat High Point;Bladensburg; Laurel; andNorthwestern.

through all the struggles beforeand knewhow to easemeout ofthe struggles or teachmeabit ofwhat she had done… it was re-ally comforting.”

Once White began to un-derstand the position and thefundamentals of the game,her development took off. Themiddle improved during theoffseason, attending numerouscamps and clinics during thesummer and even playing forCapital City Elite, a club teambased out of Washington, D.C.With the progress came a blos-soming love for the game.

“Volleyball is fun, it’s enthu-siastic,” White said. “You diveon the floor and get things donetogether.”

For asmuch asWhite devel-oped in her first year in volley-ball, perhaps her greatest asset

is her leadership — somethingshe’s had to utilize to keep thisyear’s injury-decimated teamafloat.

“This year she’s been anabsolute emotional mainstay,”McMillan said. “She’s definitelysomeone we can count on toplay up every ball and, regard-less of what happened on thelast ball, continue to play.”

During the match againstFlowers, one the Panthersdropped in straight sets, Whitewas consistently the first one inthe huddle, patting her team-mates on the back and offeringwordsof encouragement togirlswith just as much, if not moreexperience than she had.

“Leading is a natural habi-tat for me,” White said. “I aman older sister. If my teammateneeds help or has a questionabout anything, they know theycan come tome and I’ll be therefor the answer.”

White has not only distin-

guished herself as the team’semotional leader, but also asthe on-court leader, show-ing immense improvement injust her second season. Witha sound understanding of hermovements as a middle, Whitehas been able to wreak havoc atthe net, causing countless hit-ters to sendballs sailing into thegymwalls insteadof thefloors; aresult of her length – somethingshe’s learned to embrace after aperiod of insecurity.

“You just realize there’snothing you can do to controlit anyways, so youmight as welljust love it,” White said of herframe.

Turns out, White isn’t theonly onewho loves it.

“She was definitely a find,”McMillan said of the middle.“I think it’s really awesome shecommitted to this sportasmuchas she has. As much as we wereexcited about her, obviously alot of sports would love to have

a 6-foot-3 girls. But she said,‘Nope. Volleyball is my gameand I love it.’”

Eleanor Roosevelt winsgirls county soccer titleThe Eleanor Roosevelt High

School girls’ soccer team earneda second-consecutive countytitle Tuesday with a 3-0 victoryagainst Frederick Douglass atPrince George’s County Commu-nity College.

The Raiders (12-1) controlledthe contest from the outset,taking a 1-0 lead on NatalieHanno’s goal in the seventhminute. Hanno wasn’t the onlysophomore to make an impact,as classmates Inonge Kaloustianand Olivia Pettyjohn-Robin alsotallied scores.

“I think that the two bigstandouts tonight were NatalieHanno — she played some for-ward and some midfield — andalso Olivia Pettyjohn-Robin, an-other midfielder, who both reallyshined above and beyond whatwould be normal,” Rooseveltcoach Bob Sowers said. “Theyreally stepped up.”

The Raiders held a 20-4 ad-vantage on shots in the contest,and dominated time of posses-sion despite forwards EmmaThrift and Sheyanne Bonnicksitting out with injuries. Gettingthose two back for the 4A SouthRegion playoff push is of theutmost importance to Sowers,he said.

n One play written byRiverdale Park resident

BY KIRSTY GROFF

STAFFWRITER

Winter can be quite a frostytime, but the season brings icyrelationships along with thechill and snow in a trio of one-act plays produced by TheaterProject Beltsville.

“Cold Shoulders” brings to-gether “The Stronger” byAugustStrindberg, “Fourteen” by Al-ice Gerstenberg and “Starman,Wish Me Luck” by playwrightand Riverdale Park residentNicole Burton. The one-actplays, separated by decades, areunited through both setting andinteractions in relationships.

Each takes place on or nearChristmas Eve and features anaspect of rejection — thus, the“cold shoulder.” Though theplays themselves are new toTheater Project Beltsville, theconcept is familiar.

The group, which began inSpring 2013, produces its piecesin the sanctuary ofAbidingPres-ence Lutheran Church in Belts-ville, a small congregation thatholds about 40 people. Frank-lin Akers proposed the theatergroup as a means of fun as wellas spreading the word abouttheir community.

“We’re here to give a gift tothe city of Beltsville from ourchurch as an outreach gesture,”he said, “and to enrich the cul-tural life of the town.”

Because there’s no budgetfor the plays and the group isstill relatively unknown, Akersoften relies onworks in the pub-lic domain that are suitable for asmaller cast; the roles are often

filled by congregation members withlittle to no prior theater experience orby people Akers hasmet over the years.

One such person was Burton,whose plays made their way into hishands following Theater Project Belts-ville’s initial production of three AntonChekhov plays. Her one act, “Starman,Wish Me Luck,” takes inspiration bothfrom a man she would frequently passon the street in D.C. and her mother’sexperience with homelessness in Eng-land late in life.

“It mademe realize that none of usare so well-strung together that a fewinstances of bad luck or bad decisionscouldn’t render us on the streets, aswell,” she said.

Starman is a homeless person awoman named Contessa frequentlyencounters in the park. They developa rapport over time, with Contessa

—dealing with problems of her own—ending their conversations asking Star-man to wish her luck.

“They’ve each been through theirown hell, and it’s a beautiful play fromthat standpoint,” Akers said. “The playis so much about our misperceptionsof people different from us. We lookat people we would cross the street toavoid and discover they’re human be-

ings with needs and feelings.”ThoughAkers is listedasdirector for

“ColdShoulders,” his role encompassessomuchmore, resulting in a balancingact necessary to keep the relatively newtheater group up and running.

“I’mplayingoneof thepartsmyself,which is insane,” he said. “I’m produc-ing and directing and publicizing andtroubleshooting and hanging lights —but that’swhat it takes at first. Youhavea handful of people who are able to doa lot of things andyou start from there.”

Even with a space not originallyintended for theatrical productions orhousing a large audience, Akers man-ages to create a setting befitting of theplays he chooses. By leaning towardplayswith only a fewcastmembers andnot manymore audience members, hecreates an environment conducive toconnections between actor and viewer.

“’Starman’ plays well when the au-dience is close to the action, close tothe actors,” Burton said, “and it’s suchawarmand intimate space over there. I

thinkhaving it on thebillwith twootherplays aswell using the same actorswithone or two characters in each play cre-ate a resonance that’s very appealing.”

The characters in these three playshave experiences rejection in one formor another — a part of the human ex-perience anyone can relate to, whetherthrough the pair of woman acquain-tances in “The Stronger,” the familyattempting to host a dinner party in“Fourteen” or the odd couple of Star-man and Contessa in “Starman, WishMe Luck.” Yet, at the same time, theevents that unfold through the threeplays will likely give rise to a new un-derstanding for a formerly foreign oc-currence or feeling.

“Everyplay that you see, every bookthat you read, every piece of art youlook at, every ballet or opera or con-cert you go to—watching these eventsmakes the invisible, visible,” Akers said.“You’re going into the room to experi-ence somethingabout life that’s outsideyourself, and that will perhaps increaseyour ability to understand the humancondition.”

Outside of the Javits Center, peoplewalking by looked at these folkswithsomethingmore than curiosity. It al-most felt like disdain,maybe pity.Why,they seemed towonder, would youdress up as a comic book character inskin tight outfits andmake a fool out ofyourself in public?

Inside, thatwasn’t the case. Peoplewould stop and take pictures of thosein costume. The costumed folkswouldalways stop andposewhile the pho-tographerwould snappictures and say,“Thanks.” It was the samenomatterwhat corner of the Javits Center I went

to—very polite people onboth ends ofthe spectrum.

And, like a barrel full of kryptonite,it hitme.

Therewere no skinny Supermen.Therewere no fatWonderWomen.Noblack Robins or Batmen, noAsianKorras andnoHispanicGreenArrows.NodisabledDeadpools, either. JustSupermen,WonderWomen, BatmenandRobins, Korras, GreenArrows andDeadpools.

Once inside the safety of the build-ing, everyonewas the same.Noblackorwhite. No thin or fat. Nohealthy ordisabled.No gay or straight.

Take amoment to think about that.With the conflicts anddiscriminationthat always threaten to drive awedgeinto our society, would youbelievetherewas one placewhere people of allshapes, sizes, colors and creedswereaccepted and celebrated?Would youbelieve that placewould be a comicbook convention?

For years, people have looked downon thosewho are into comic books andthe like. The stereotype is there: Singleguyswho live in their parents’ base-ment and spend all day at the comic

book store, when they’re not in front ofa computer. Chances are, you probablyhave themental image of theComicBookGuy from the television cartoon“The Simpsons” in your head right now.

Of course, that’s not always thecase, considering I spokewith severalpeoplewhohadhigh-paying jobs in themedical, education and informationtechnology fields.

Why, then, is society so unwilling toaccept a culture of folkswho are so ac-cepting of others? Perhaps it goes backto the fear of the unknown? People fearwhat they don’t understand.Maybethey’re afraid they’ll look foolish?

All I know is the peoplewho at-tendedNewYorkComicCon lookedhappy because theywere happy.Maybewe should take a chapter outof the “geek” playbook andbecomemore accepting of not only others, butourselves?

Maybewe should all start dressingup as our favorite superheroesmore of-ten. I’ll be Batman and accept folks forwho they are, notwhat they look like.

Whowill you be?
