Celebrating 83 years of service!

LAUREL – The yearlongstruggle to retain full-service opera-tion of north Prince George’s Coun-ty’s Laurel Regional Hospital(LRH) came to an end Monday withthe announcement that the Universi-ty of Maryland Medical System(UMMS) will now oversee the hos-pital’s operations.

The agreement will keep all in-patient services offered at LRH op-erational through Dec. 31, 2017,and create a Strategic PlanningWorkgroup (SPWG) tasked withgathering community input and rec-ommendations on how to improvethe services offered at the hosptial.

The plan’s execution remainsdependent on Dimensions receivinga Certificate of Need from theMaryland Health Care Commissionthat authorizes the construction ofthe new regional medical center inLargo.

That decision will be made bythe end of the year.

“Laurel Hospital is not going toclose,” said State Sen. Jim Ros-

apepe (D-21), who, along withmany other displeased elected offi-

cials and residents, worked for morethan a year to save LRH. “The Uni-

versity of Maryland Medical Sys-tem is taking over Laurel RegionalHospital. They have committed todoing it promptly.”

UMMS chief operating officerRobert Chrencik said the systemwill improve and expand the ser-vices offered at LRH while rebrand-ing the hospital to attract a largermarket of employees using the workgroup’s recommendations alongwith its own set of vast resources asthe largest hospital system in thestate.

“It’s remarkable that a countywith 900,000 people would not havea world-class medical center. We’reexcited about creating one,” he said.“Although we haven’t yet definedexactly what the future of the Laurelhealthcare campus would look like,I can promise you when it is re-designed, it’s going to be redesignedthrough a process that is going to bevery community-focused.”

On July 31 of last year, previ-ous hospital management Dimen-sions Health Corporations decidedto downsize the hospital into a pri-

Laurel Regional Hospital to remain open

GREENBELT – Going from1,000 printed pages to real-time, in-teractive voting technology, PrinceGeorge’s County is updating notjust its zoning ordinance, but theway residents interact with it, espe-cially during the rewrite process.

The county council joinedwith the Prince George’s County

Planning Department at EleanorRoosevelt High School in Green-belt to present a town hall meetingon July 12 in an effort to educateresidents about the proposed ordi-nance and the rewrite process, aswell as get their input on the regu-lations before they are finalized.

“For this process to work, wewill need your candid feedbackalong the way, specifically aboutthe changes that have been pro-

posed in each module. We needyour insight on what works well,what needs to be changed, andwhat requires elimination,” saidCouncil Chair Derrick Davis.

Before the public commentperiod, planning department staff,led by Chief of the CountywidePlanning Division Derick Berlage,briefly explained why the ordi-nance is being redone and some ofthe proposed changes.

The overall goal is to create anordinance that is easier for the pub-lic to understand, easier for devel-opers to navigate, and is more in-line with the county’s 21st centurypriorities, Berlage said. The ordi-nance will go from more than1,000 pages long with 74 zones toabout 40 zones, and will featuregraphics and images for increased

REFLECTIONS

August 12, 1999

Living Wage Looks GoodEach week The Sentinel visits

a memorable story from itsarchives.

Attempts at giving governmentcontracted employees higher livingwages in Montgomery County fellshort last Tuesday, but still lookpromising in Prince George’s County.

The bill that would have forcedbusinesses to pay their employeesmore to do business with Mont-gomery County, failed by 2 votes onlast Tuesday night. The same type ofliving wage bill is estimated to be upfor a vote by the end of this monthaccording to staffers at CouncilmanPeter Shapiro’s office, who is spear-heading the hike pay for PrinceGeorge’s County.

Shapiro said he hopes that

working with companies that paycurrent employees below povertywages like Montgomery Countyfailed to last week will provide larg-er checks to county contracted work-ers. Shapiro explains that Mont-gomery’s County’s bill which failedby a 5-3 vote would have done es-sentially the same as the one nowproposed in Prince George’s County,but it had the fatal flaw of not get-ting the perspective of the businessesthat have to write the check.

“One of the things that I am try-ing to do is make sure the bill has thesupport of the non-profit and com-munity and the chamber of com-merce,” Shapiro said. As long as weagree that the county governmentshould not subsidize poverty-level

jobs…Prince George’s County willhave a living wage bill that we canall be proud of.”

Mike Lawson who is a staffmember for Councilman Shapiroexplained the councilman has evengone through great lengths to seethat the living wage bill remains un-finished.

“We are putting it out in an un-finished form because we want peo-ple to engage us in this process,” saidLawson.

Norman Carter who is the pres-ident of the Prince George’s CountyChamber of Commerce said that hethinks Shapiro’s attempts to workwith contracting companies are no-ble.

“We appreciate the fact that the

council member is willing to sitdown and discuss this…It is a com-plex issue and we have to look at allthe ramifications,” said Carter.

According to Shapiro the cen-sus bureau considers any four-mem-ber household that makes less than$19,000 a year below the povertyline. While the department of Healthand Human Services considers thesame four-member household withless than $16,700 worth of incomeunder the poverty level.

“The basic premise that I amoperating with is that the countygovernment should not be using itsresources to subsidize jobs that keeppeople in poverty. It doesn’t makesense,” said Shapiro.

So why all the talk about in-

creasing living wages now?According to Lawson, “All

across the country there have beenwage campaigns dating back to Bal-timore in 1992…The time has comefor a change in the governments sup-port of poverty wages.”

When asked how much moremoney businesses would have topay to do business in PrinceGeorge’s County Lawson would notclarify.

“We can add on to a contractthat a business must pay a certainamount within whatever rate rangewe determine to be acceptable,”Lawson said. “It is not just aboutsome kind of political campaign..We really want to do this and makethis thing work the right way.”

McDonald's DMV sends local teen to theEssence Festival

Gov. Larry Hogan announces permanentvehicle registration for disabled

Maryland veterans

Gov. Larry Hogan announced that theMaryland Department of Transportation’s Mo-tor Vehicle Administration (MVA) will beginissuing permanent vehicle registration cardsand license plate stickers to Maryland veteranswho qualify as 100 percent disabled. While thestickers and registration cards have been freeto qualified veterans for several years, this al-lows qualified veterans to skip the trip to theMVA to renew their registration. This initiativewas developed by employees at the MVA andis part of Hogan’s initiative to improve cus-tomer service across Maryland state agencies.

Qualified veterans do not need to take

any action to enjoy this new benefit. TheMVA will begin mailing the permanent regis-tration cards and stickers on Aug. 1 to approx-imately 5,200 Maryland veterans who qualifyas determined by the U.S. Department of Vet-erans Affairs. Prior to this initiative, qualifiedMaryland veterans had to renew their vehicleregistration, free of charge, every two years atan MVA office.

Residents of Greenbelt opposespeculative high rise development

idea Hillman had to build a luxuryhigh rise apartment building on anadjacent parcel also owned by Hill-man. The parcel is currently dense-ly wooded, and some communitymembers stand opposed to this lossof trees.

Sue Stern held a “Keep itWooded” sign throughout the meet-ing, and used it to punctuate her tes-timony.

“Please maintain the historicprotection of the wooded area sur-rounding Greenbelt as the Metroarea is developed,” she said.

Paul Downs had the same mes-sage.

“What I value in historical, oldGreenbelt is its sense of continuity,that things were decided a long timeago, and we like it. And this 25-sto-ry luxury high rise would takedown the elder trees of our greenspace. I cannot imagine anythingmore contrary to what Greenbelt isabout, and our history and who weare,” he said.

Almquist said residents hadcome to the town hall meeting be-cause they were concerned that giv-en the timing, the developer mighttry to use the zoning rewrite to re-zone the wooded parcel to allow forthe high rise to be built.

“We fear, in the example, thatSouthern Management may beseeking to bypass the normal rezon-ing process altogether by obtainingspecial treatment, perhaps underthe ongoing zoning ordinancerewrite,” he said.

He said he wanted reassur-ances that the zoning rewriteprocess would not be used to rezone

individual properties. Maryland-National Capital Park and Planningstaff has repeatedly maintained itwill not.

But Derick Berlage, chief ofthe countywide planning division,said some county parcels would, infact, be rezoned. While for most ofthe county, the rezoning is onlytechnical – meaning the name of thezone will change but the permitteduses will remain the same – certainparts of the county would see actualrezoning after the new ordinanceintroduces new zones that do notcurrently exist.

“There will be some rezoningthat will be necessary. About 10percent of the county – and it’smostly around transit stations,mixed use areas and commercial ar-eas – the county council will needto decide which of the new zones toapply, and that will be a rezoning,”he said.

The council is projected to ad-dress these rezonings in October2017, Berlage said.

Councilman Todd Turner, whorepresents Greenbelt, acknowl-edged the information was poten-tially different from what he andothers had heard before.

Turner did say, however, thatthe scope of the proposed develop-ment would mean it would have togo through the typical zone rewriteprocess, which includes public out-reach, citizen comments and moretransparency.

“I would still believe it’s in thebest interest to go through thatprocess which is part of our currentcode right now,” he said. “Based onthe conversations that I’ve had, I’dsay that’s such a project we’d have

to go through our normal zoningprocess.

“I think, from what I under-stand, (the developer’s) interest isdepending on what happens withthe Greenbelt Metro and if the FBIgoes there. I think the whole thingis more speculative at this point.”

Greenbelt Mayor Emmett Jor-dan also stressed that the proposalis still in the earliest stages. It wasonly discussed with the city councilduring one briefing.

“I don’t think I want to getpulled into a conflict more than italready is,” he said. “People comewith ideas about different thingsand it’s (the) council’s job to listen.We try to be able to talk and dia-logue. I don’t want to be in a posi-tion to reject ideas before they’refully formed.”

Jordan said even if this particu-lar project, at 25 stories, might be “anon-starter,” he believes the Metrostation area does need to be devel-oped as the city and the regiongrows.

“It’s a dead zone there,” hesaid.

Citizens like Almquist and theothers should be commended fortheir passion, Jordan acknowl-edged.

And the citizens say they arenot done fighting for the forest.Almquist asked Berlage and theother staffers at the town hall aboutthe possibility of putting a neigh-borhood conservation overlay onhistoric Greenbelt as another wayto help maintain the character andfeatures of the community.

“That’s an excellent sugges-tion. We’re working toward seeingthat that happens,” Berlage said.

marily outpatient facility that in-cluded 24-hour ambulatory servicesand only 30 inpatient beds, withoutinforming the public prior to the an-nouncement.

Dimensions said maintainingfull-service operations did not makesense financially and the hospitalhad been losing millions of dollarsover the years.

In the time since, more than 100jobs have been cut and departmentssuch as the maternity ward and childhealth unit have been closed. TheSPWG will decide whether these,and other departments, will eventu-ally return to the hospital.

The SPWG, in consultationwith elected officials, is tasked with

finding the best services that can im-prove healthcare delivery to Laurel’scitizens.

More specifically, the work-group will review a workforceanalysis and make recommenda-tions that include, but are not limitedto, assessment of staffing levels indietary services, environmental sci-ences and facility maintenance.

Additionally, in the event of joblosses that may occur during this pe-riod, the group will review opportu-nities for alternative placement andre-training of employees in an effortto improve patient safety and qualityof care at LRH.

Laurel Mayor Craig Moe andUMMS Surgeon-in-Chief Dr.Stephen Bartlett will co-chair theworkgroup and encourage any and

all residents invested in the hospi-tal’s future to participate.

“Many of you here today tookbuses to Annapolis, attended com-munity meetings, sent letters (and)made phone calls, all to save LaurelRegional Hospital,” Moe said to acrowd of Laurel residents. “All ofthose efforts got us to where we aretoday, but we are not done.”

At the outset of the controversy,many took issue with not only howDimensions came to its decision,with little to no outside consultation,but also with the fact that removinginpatient services meant longercommutes for those who were in themidst of an emergency.

County Councilwoman MaryLehman said this issue has been herlongest and most arduous in six

years on the council. And it becamemuch more personalized when shereceived a call from a constituentwhose son suffers from severe andfrequent asthma attacks and mightnot make it to a farther hospital.

While hoping inpatient beds re-main at LRH, Lehman also stressedthe importance of maintaining psy-chiatric care for hospital visitors.

“There are a lot of people thatpass through this area because it is atthe nexus of four counties, and it ishalfway between Baltimore andWashington,” she said. “A lot of peo-ple pass through and they are in needof psychiatric services. They needcompassion; they need care. I believethey need beds and I’m hopeful thatwe’ll be able to keep those.”

Under the agreement, all Di-

mensions facilities including LRHwill become UMMS affiliates.County Executive Rushern BakerIII stressed the agreement is a part-nership and not a termination of thecounty’s relationship with Dimen-sions.

Baker said county’s new rela-tionship with UMMS, in conjunc-tion with the opening of the regionalmedical center, will forge the wayfor modernized and streamlinedhealthcare the county.

“I want to thank Bob Chrencikand his team for working with usand being committed to makingsure, as we move forward, we pro-vide the best healthcare we can, notonly for Laurel and the north part ofPrince George’s County, but allPrince George’s County.”

Laurel hospital to remain open thanks to UMD partnership

comprehensibility.The planning department has

contracted with Clarion Associatesto design the ordinance, andBerlage said they have developed aset of five goals for the new zoningrules to meet, including ease of un-derstanding, protecting communityand natural resources, providingtools for development and ensuringthe development coming to thecounty is quality development.

“You, and we and the countycouncil, should measure the workproduct from that consultant, decidewhether it is right for us or not,based on whether or not the consul-tant addresses all five goals,” hesaid.

One of the new tools proposedby Clarion is the NeighborhoodCompatibility Standards, whichwould apply when a developer pro-poses building something next to asingle-family residential neighbor-hood that isn’t another such neigh-borhood. It would regulate distancefrom the neighborhood, building

heights, noise standards and otherfactors.

“The new zoning ordinancealso needs to protect things thatshouldn’t change, like your neigh-borhood. We don’t want new de-velopment that happens in thecounty to compromise the qualityof life in the neighborhood you livein,” Berlage said.

During their testimony, resi-dents cited those standards as oneof the positives about the ordinancedrafts.

Abby Kiesa, a homeowner inRiverdale for seven years, said therequirement for the developer to docommunity outreach makes sense.

“That would have reduced alot of friction in Riverdale had de-velopers started to do that. So ifthat can happen that would beamazing,” she said.

Other residents presented theirideas for tweaks or additions to thenew ordinance.

Bill Orleans of Greenbelt saidhe felt the transit-oriented develop-ment in New Carrollton is not tran-sit-oriented enough, with its single-

pad sites.“I would like to think that, at

least after this ordinance is adopt-ed, as we envision more usefully-developed transit-oriented devel-opment near our Metro stations,that we would discourage thebuilding of individual buildings onits own pad site with all that park-ing and instead see that we havecontinuous buildings where theparking is necessary underground,”he said.

Andrea Hawvermale, a Mont-gomery County resident whoworks with various community as-sociations in Prince George’s, saidparking is a problem in many areaswith high-density apartment build-ings, like College Park, and wor-ried the new ordinance’s restric-tions on impervious surfaces wouldworsen the issue.

“There are certain areas of thecounty that already, the percentageof impervious surface – or let’s justcall it parking for right now – forall the high-rises is already too lowin some areas. There’s just way toomany people getting creative and

parking in the neighborhoods,” shesaid. “It concerns me that there’s ablanket percentage that’s going tobe lowered throughout the county.”

Several residents also ex-pressed their interest in raisingchickens and in home beekeepingand explained how the current zon-ing ordinance restricts their abilityto pursue these hobbies.

“The current standard limitsbeekeeping to agricultural zones,”said Jeff Forbes, president ofBowie/Upper Marlboro Beekeep-ers Association (BUMBA). “FewBUMBA members have such alarge amount of land. The proposedland use regulations would contin-ue to prohibit beekeeping in resi-dential zones. This proposed prohi-bition runs counter to the currentpractice on reducing restrictionsand encouraging beekeeping.”

He said beekeeping is helpfulfor both food crops and backyardgardens and serves an importantenvironmental role, especially giv-en the massive declines in honey-bee populations across the UnitedStates. Forbes said neighboring ju-

risdictions have no zoning restric-tions on apiarists.

“Honeybees can be goodneighbors in residential areas.BUMBA strongly encouragesPrince George’s County to adoptMontgomery County’s model,” hesaid.

Council Vice-Chair DannielleGlaros said she had recently begunhearing about this issue from herconstituents as well.

“We have a bunch of beekeep-ers throughout my district. I was alittle surprised to hear that bee-keeping today is limited,” she said.

Chad Williams, project man-ager in the Countywide PlanningDivision, explained that revisionsto certain agriculture definitionshad the side effect of severely lim-iting areas where bees can be kept,restricting them to lower-densityzones in rural areas.

He and Berlage said the issueis on their radar as well.

“We’ve heard that messageand we will definitely go back tothe consultants to find out what theother options are,” Berlage said.

MODIFICATION TO THE ANNUAL ACTION PLAN FORHOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT: FY 2017

The modification to the Prince George's County Annual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development: Fiscal Year (FY) 2017 is now available for the general public.

The Annual Action Plan (“AAP”) for Housing and Community Development is a comprehensive strategy that describes actions, ac-tivities, and programs that will take place during the County's FY 2017 to address priority needs and specific objectives identified in the County's FY 2016-2020 Consolidated Plan. The AAP also serves as an application for Federal funds: Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG), and HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME).

On May 10, 2016, the County Council and County Executive adopted and approved Council Resolution (CR-16-2016): FY 2017 An-nual Action Plan for Housing and Community Development. The AAP was based on U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Devel-opment's (HUD's) Federal Fiscal Year (FFY) 2016 (CFY 2017) formula allocations for grantees and the estimated HOME Voluntary Grant Reduction Plan ($1,016,981.00.)

On June 8, 2016, due to an administrative adjustment, HUD Headquarters revised the initial FFY 2016 (CFY 2017) HOME allocations that were sent to grantees earlier in the year. The County's HOME funds were increased by $8,238.00. At that time, HUD also in-formed DHCD that the County's initial HOME entitlement funds reflected the Voluntary Grant Reduction Plan ($522,919.00) there-fore the AAP must be modified to be consistent with the final HOME Program entitlement allocation ($1,548,138.00) and applicable local jurisdiction amendment requirements.

Concerning Proposed Issuance of Refunding BondsRelating to the University Town Center

Special Taxing District in City of Hyattsville

The City Council (the “City Council”) of City of Hyattsville (the “City”) will conduct a Public Hearing on Monday, August 1, 2016 at 7:00 p.m., to discuss the proposed issuance of revenue bonds, notes or other similar instruments from time to time in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $17,750,000 and bear-ing interest at a rate or rates not to exceed 5.00% per annum (the “Refunding Bonds”) to refund in whole or in part the outstanding City of Hyattsville Special Obligation Bonds (University Town Center Project), Series 2004 (the “2004 Bonds”). The 2004 Bonds were issued pursuant to Section 44A of Article 23A of the Annotated Code of Maryland (as since re-codified, the “Act”) to finance or reimburse the cost of (i) certain infrastructure im-provements within or outside the University Town Center Special Taxing District (the “District”) established by Hyattsville Resolu-tion 2004-02 of the City Council (the “Designation Resolution”), (ii) establishing a debt service reserve fund, (iii) issuance costs of the 2004 Bonds, and (iv) other expenses permitted by the Act. The Series 2004 Bonds are currently outstanding in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $16,640,000. Any Refunding Bonds shall be issued pursuant to the Act and any other applica-ble Maryland law. Proceeds of the Refunding Bonds may be applied to fund a debt service reserve fund, pay issuance costs of the Refunding Bonds and fund other costs permitted by the Act, in addition to refunding the outstanding 2004 Bonds in whole or in part. It is anticipated that any Refunding Bonds will be structured to achieve debt service savings, although applicable law allows Refunding Bonds to be issued for other purposes.

A proposed resolution authorizing the Refunding Bonds was scheduled for introduction before the City Council on July 18, 2016.

The District encompasses approximately 23.3693 acres of land and is generally bordered by Toledo Road on the north, Democ-racy Avenue (originally known as Streets E and H) and certain property adjacent thereto on the east, East-West Highway (Mary-land Route 410) on the south and Belcrest Road on the west.

The Series 2004 Bonds are payable from certain special taxes (collectively, the “Special Tax”) levied on property within the District pursuant to the City of Hyattsville, Maryland University


PUBLIC HEARING

Town Center Special Taxing District Rate and Method of Appor-tionment of Special Taxes (the “Rate and Method”) adopted and approved pursuant to Hyattsville Resolution 2004-03 of the City Council (the “2004 Bond Resolution”). The Rate and Method provides that the Special Tax shall continue to be computed, imposed, levied and collected on real property within the District in connection with any bonds (within the meaning of the Act) issued to refund the Series 2004 Bonds. The Special Tax has been, and will continue to be, collected and secured in the same manner as general ad valorem taxes, unless otherwise provided in the 2004 Bond Resolution and the Rate and Method, and has been, and will continue to be, subject to the same penalties and the same procedure, sale and lien priority in the case of delin-quency as is provided for general ad valorem taxes with respect to any Refunding Bonds and any Series 2004 Bonds remaining outstanding. In connection with authorizing the Refunding Bonds, the City does not intend to amend the Rate and Method to increase the maximum Special Tax provided for thereunder.

Any Refunding Bonds issued by the City pursuant to the pro-posed resolution shall never constitute a general obligation debt of or a pledge of the City's full faith and credit or taxing powers. The only funds the City will be obligated to use to make payment on any Refunding Bonds will be those that result from the Special Tax levied on and collected from property in the District.

Proceeds of collected Special Taxes will be deposited in the special fund created pursuant to the Designation Resolution and applied to pay debt service on any Refunding Bonds and any 2004 Bonds remaining outstanding, to replenish any debt service reserve fund and for any other purpose relating to the ongoing expenses of or security for any Refunding Bonds and any 2004 Bonds remaining outstanding.

There will be opportunity for discussion of the details of the proposed Refunding Bonds at the Public Hearing.

The proposed resolution may be passed (i) as introduced or (ii) as amended, either at the City Council meeting held on the same day as and following the public hearing or at a subsequent City Council meeting. Copies of the proposed resolution may be obtained by contacting Laura Reams, City Clerk, as indicated below or by viewing the agenda packet for the applicable meet-ing at www.hyattsville.org/councilagendas.

The Public Hearing will be held at the Hyattsville Municipal Building (4310 Gallatin Street) in the third floor Council Chambers. Public testimony is encouraged. This hearing will be broadcast live on cable channels 71 (Comcast) and 12 (Verizon).

Questions on this Public Hearing or requests regarding special accommodations may be directed to Laura Reams, City Clerk, by e-mail to [email protected] or call 301-985-5009.

Baysox win on Sunday, take series versus RichmondBy Shawn McFarlandManaging Editor

BOWIE – The Bowie Baysoxhad everything working Sundayafternoon against the RichmondFlying Squirrels.

Their bats were hitting, theirarms were pitching well, andtheir legs were churning out runsand tracking down outs.

Bowie's offense came aliveto the tune of six runs on 14 hits,while the team's pitching staff -led by starter David Hess - limit-ed the Squirrels to just two runs(one earned) on three hits enroute to a 6-2 victory. What wassupposed to be a four-game seriesturned into a three-game set fol-lowing Saturday's rainout, butwith that the Baysox took two ofthree to win their first series ofthe month.

"I think it was a mentalitydifference," said Hess, who fin-ished with six strikeouts and twowalks in six innings of work. "Ijust went out there and was at-tacking guys. The defense did agreat job. The outfielders trackedsome balls down and it was agood team win."

Richmond starter TylerBeede seemed to have Bowie'snumber coming into the game. Inhis previous three starts againstthe Baysox, Beede, who was se-lected as an Eastern League All-Star this year, was 3-0 with a 2.36ERA.

That all changed early, asBowie tagged him for four runs inthe first two innings. Joey Ter-doslavich and Henry Urrutia hadconsecutive RBI singles in thefirst, while Garabez Rosa platedanother on a sacrifice fly two bat-ters later. Chance Sisco thenknocked in another run on a sin-gle in the second.

Bowie added two more runsin the fourth with the help of twoRichmond errors. Terdoslavichpicked up his second RBI, whileDrew Dosch scored on an error.

"We weren't that aware of the

numbers (Beede) had against us,"said leadoff man Julio Borbon,who went 3-for-5 to extend hishitting streak to 10 games."Knowing we had faced him be-fore, we had a level of comfort interms of knowing what we hadseen in the past. We were able totrust what we have been doingand I think that's what it camedown to.

"We have been swinging thebat well. We have quite a fewguys who are hitting well, so Ithink it carried over to today.They say hitting is contagious.We have a couple guys swingingwell and everybody is getting ona roll."

Meanwhile, Hess was deal-

ing. Hess, who had a subpar 3-9record with a 5.63 ERA enteringthe day, allowed just one baserun-ner through the first four innings.

Hess ran into some trouble inthe fifth. After getting the firstman to fly out to center, he al-lowed a walk and his only hit ofthe game to put runners on. A runeventually scored on an error, butHess was able to work his wayout of the inning without allow-ing further damage. In the end, helowered his ERA by nearly a halfa run with his performance.

"I think the mentality - justgoing right at guys - I am a guywho likes his fastball and I amgoing to attack hitters," Hesssaid. "I was able to throw my

breaking ball when I wanted toand where I wanted to. I was alsoable to mix in my changeup a lit-tle bit as well."

Michael Zouzalik relievedHess in the seventh and facedonly seven batters in two innings.Bobby Bundy came in for theninth and allowed a run on twohits before striking out the lasttwo batters to end the game.

Sisco (two singles, double)and Urrutia (three singles) eachhad three hits in the game. How-ever, no one has been as hot asBorbon.

During his 10-game hittingstreak, Borbon is batting .488(21-of-43) and has seven multi-hit games during that span. The

speedy centerfielder has also hitsafely in 18 of the last 20 gamesas of Monday and has one of thelowest strikeout-to-plate appear-ance ratios in the league.

"I have been using the wholefield and staying through thebaseball," Borbon said. "I amtrusting what I am seeing, which Ithink is bigger than anythingphysical when it comes to hitting.I think I have been getting back tothose basics - the things I havedone in the past - and it hashelped me succeed."

Bowie (40-52) will travel toBinghamton for a three-game se-ries starting Monday. The nexthome game will be on July 21versus Erie.

UPPER MARLBORO – Citi-zens rallying outside the County Ad-ministration Building Mondayshouted “Prince George’s DeservesBetter,” but they don’t feel they re-ceived it.

A variety of community groupsand advocacy organizations cametogether on July 18 to protest theproposed expansion of the Wal-Martat Woodyard Crossing ShoppingCenter in Clinton before the DistrictCouncil’s hearing and vote on thematter. Despite of their presence, thecouncil voted 8-0 to overturn theplanning board and the ZoningHearing Examiner’s decisions todeny the company’s request. As a re-sult of the vote, the Wal-Mart will beallowed to expand to an additionalhalf acre of land and add approxi-mately 37,000 square feet to thestore.

Jennifer Dwyer, a county orga-nizer with Progressive Maryland,was vocal in expressing her displea-

sure in the wake of the vote.“The Zoning Hearing Examiner

and the People’s Zoning Counsel

both clearly laid out that there is ab-solutely no legal justification to al-low this Wal-Mart expansion to go

forward,” she said.Both had argued the Wal-Mart

plan did not meet the legal criteria

for a special exception, includingobtaining a variance for being withinthe legal 100-foot setback. The vari-ance was not granted because Wal-Mart voluntarily chose to connectthe proposed new construction to theexisting structure, which is insidethat setback, when it could have in-cluded space between them and notneeded the variance to proceed.

On the other side, the attorneyfor Wal-Mart, Andre Gingles, saidthe existing conditions at the shop-ping center – being “pinched” bywetlands areas and residentialneighborhoods, as well as the cur-rent layout of the property – createundue hardship for Wal-Mart in itsefforts to expand, justifying the vari-ance.

Councilman Mel Franklin, whorepresents Clinton and the rest ofDistrict 9, agreed the shopping cen-ter’s layout created the problems. Hesaid the shopping center was an im-portant economic engine in the area,and an expanded Wal-Mart would

College Park police officer suspendedBy Katishi MaakeSpecial to The Sentinel

COLLEGE PARK – An inter-nal investigation conducted by theUniversity of Maryland Police De-partment (UMPD) found that exces-sive force in the form of pepperspray was not necessary in an at-tempt to deescalate a graduation par-ty in May.

During the early morning hoursof May 21, the UMPD received acall regarding a fight on the 8500block of Boteler Lane at the Court-yard Apartments in College Park.Upon arriving on the scene, officersdiscovered a graduation party, com-prised of primarily African Ameri-cans, was underway.

After residents had refuted theclaim that a fight had taken place, of-ficers entered the apartment and de-cided the party needed to be shutdown because it had surpassed thecapacity the apartment could hold.When a group of partygoers did notcomply with the instructions to dis-perse, two officers deployed pepperspray, claiming they believed an of-ficer was in danger.

Prince George’s CountyFire/EMS personnel later arrived onthe scene to help those affected bythe pepper spray. No major injurieswere reported.

As a result, however, two indi-viduals were identified, arrested andcharged with obstructing and hin-dering police officers. The state hassince dropped those charges.

A summary of the incident saidall deployments of pepper spray re-quire an administrative internal re-view, which commenced the day af-ter the incident and concluded onJuly 9.

UMPD Police Chief DavidMitchell said in the summary thatthe use of pepper spray “could havebeen avoided.” Mitchell announcedJuly 14 that one of the officers hasbeen suspended two weeks withoutpay.

“Throughout the May 21 inci-dent, we should have handled the sit-uation with more diplomacy. It is my

opinion that the subsequent deploy-ment of pepper spray could havebeen avoided. This did not have tohappen,” Mitchell said.

Numerous videos of the inci-dent surfaced and circulated on so-cial media, upsetting many membersof the campus community, includingstudents and administrators.

Police body camera footage ofthe incident can be found on thewebsite of the university’s studentnewspaper.

In an open letter released fivedays after the incident, Mitchell ac-knowledged the particular pain be-hind the incident considering the tu-multuous state of police-citizen rela-tions nationally, especiallyinvolving African Americans.

University President WallaceLoh applauded Mitchell and the de-partment for its transparency and ac-countability. He said he believes thislevel of attentiveness to the issuewill bridge divides between the uni-versity community and police.

“This is a charged time in ournation. As a society, we must find apath forward to come together,”Loh’s said. “I deeply regret the inci-

dent at The Courtyards, but I believethe actions by Chief Mitchell and theUMPD are important steps on ourcampus to bridge chasms, salve an-guish and anger, and promote jus-tice.”

In addition to suspending anofficer involved, Mitchell has ob-tained a criminal charge summonsagainst those who called in the falsereport of a fight and announced offi-cers will undergo training in culturaldiversity and implicit bias.

With the help of the university’sOffice of Diversity and Inclusion,headed by Chief Diversity Officerand Associate Vice President KumeaShorter-Gooden, Mitchell and thedepartment will look to ensure some-thing like this never happens again.

“I’m well aware we have a de-partment that strives diligently to beresponsive, fair and very integratedinto the life of our community,” saidShorter-Gooden, who also is a clini-cal community psychologist. “Thepower of implicit bias is that thingscan happen, stereotypes can emergeunbeknownst to people. I’m awarethe University of Maryland is not im-mune to these problems.”

Despite protest, council approves Wal-Mart expansionhelp that role increase.

“This is an existing shoppingcenter. Clinton, in general, has chal-lenges with the quality of its com-mercial opportunities. There’s a bigneed for investment and redevelop-ment and renovation in Clinton,” hesaid. “It certainly has importance inthe community. This shopping cen-ter in particular needs to thrive.”

The council did specify that theofficial documentation declaring thedecision overturned would includeconditions. While the text of the doc-ument was not available as of presstime, one or more of the conditionsattached to the decision to allow theexpansion could be to improve thefaçade of the existing building, basedon Franklin’s comments.

“The existing building hassome age on it,” he said. “That isdefinitely a concern about the prop-erty as it stands right now, the per-ception of it not being a great-look-

ing store, to put it bluntly.”Dwyer blasted Franklin and his

decision.“Mel Franklin just said aesthet-

ics matter more than the law, mattermore than what his constituentswant,” she said.

Aesthetics weren’t the onlyconcerns expressed by the citizens.Protesters said the existing Wal-Mart has contributed negatively totheir neighborhood.

“Since the shopping center hasexpanded, we’ve had nothing but abunch of break-ins at our homes, andflooding problems throughout theneighborhood with the water back-ing up back into our ditch lines,” saidDonald Hancock, a Clinton resident.

He also complained of the noisemade by trucks as they load and un-load merchandise on the serviceroad behind Wal-Mart and the otherstores.

Gingles argued the county’sDepartment of Permitting, Inspec-tion and Enforcement approved the

stormwater management conceptplan for the site and “found no issuewith regard to the stormwater man-agement flow across the site or toadjacent properties.”

But Councilman Todd Turnersaid even if the runoff isn’t proven tobe Wal-Mart’s fault, it would be nicefor the store to try to help the com-munity handle it.

“I think it is contingent on theapplicant trying to be a good neigh-bor,” he said. “It would go a longway if they helped resolved some ofthose issues.”

Dwyer said her organizationgot involved in the fight to helpcounty residents get their voicesheard. This is the first county-wideprotest she has organized, althoughProgressive Maryland has been in-volved in the individual communi-ties’ fights against Wal-Mart andother issues.

“We’re working with residentsin Prince George’s County to try tomake Prince George’s County the

way they want it, to make the futurebetter. We’re just pulling togetherthe residents who have been upsetfor a while and helping them to orga-nize,” she said.

One of those residents wasClemmie Strayhorn of the DuvallVillage Coalition. Although theWal-Mart is not in his neighbor-hood, he said communities have tostick together.

“An attack on a communityanywhere in Prince George’s Coun-ty is an attack on all communities inPrince George’s County. It’s as sim-ple as that,” he said. “Wherever theyare in Prince George’s County, it’smy problem because they couldcome my way. I’m not going to waituntil they’re in my backyard to saysomething.”

In fact, it almost was in hisbackyard. In 2015, the DistrictCouncil voted down a proposalfrom Wal-Mart to build a 24-hoursupercenter in Glenn Dale at theDuvall Village Shopping Center.

Strayhorn said the way the retailerwent about the process turned himoff. He said the community was notmade aware of any plans for a storeuntil Wal-Mart applied to enlarge itover what had initially beenplanned.

“I wasn’t too upset about Wal-Mart, because I understand (sup-porting) American businesses to acertain extent. But to be non-trans-parent is the worst thing you can doin my book,” he said.

Strayhorn, and the others, saythey are not opposed to develop-ment in the county, but want betteroptions.

“Better to me means plannedcommunities where there’s a goodblend of commercial developmentand homeowners and properties,”he said.

Dwyer said that also includes“better jobs, no more urban sprawl,a greater variety of shopping op-tions that fill all of our needs (and)sit-down restaurants.”

ties.”Some of the various groups that

have received funds over the pasttwo years include 100 Black Men ofPrince George’s County, Girls Ex-celling in Math and Science ofPrince George’s County, the Suit-land High School Parent TeacherAssociation and Vine Corps.

This year, Strive 2 Tri, whohosts a summer program to helptrain youth for a triathlon, Men ofValor and Purpose, who will host ascience, technology, engineeringand math (STEM) sports camp inTemple Hills, the L.E.E.P to Col-

lege Foundation, who will expandcollege readiness programs at threehigh schools, and the Empower-ment Center were added to the listof grant recipients.

Baker said the TNI grants areall about “everybody getting out oftheir silos” and coming together tofind solutions.

“Not saying it’s a school issue.Not saying it’s the health departmentor the social services or the libraries,but it’s all of ours,” Baker said.

The overall goal of the TNIFund is to support nonprofits and or-ganizations committed to helpingand guiding the youth in the countyby supporting education in the forms

of “literacy, early learning, collegeand career readiness and other en-richment activities that promote andassist in improving academicachievement.” That could also in-clude programs encouraging the im-provement of recreational activities,encourage wellness, conflict resolu-tion, violence prevention, and fami-ly engagement as well as life skillactivities that provide exposure tocareer opportunities.

“These resources also allow ourextremely dedicated nonprofit orga-nizations to build and sustain theireffectiveness while fostering posi-tive outcomes for Prince George’sCounty youth,” said Desiree Griffin-

Moore, executive director of TheCommunity Foundation for PrinceGeorge’s County.

Maxwell, who said PGCPS is alarge partner in TNI, expressed howincredibly proud to be serving thesame community he grew up in.

“It is a great feeling to be able tobe in the place I call home, to be ableto do this kind of work for childrenwho are not a lot different than I waswhen I was a student in this schooldistrict,” he said.

Maxwell called the TNI part-nership “groundbreaking” and saidthe world should take notice of theworking partnership. He said work-ing with each department of govern-

ment and coming together on pro-jects is difficult, but irreplaceableand incredibly important, as theschool district or the county govern-ment cannot do the work alone.

“It is important for academicsuccess and achievement that thelessons taught in the classroom arereinforced at home and in the com-munity,” he said. “Our nonprofitsand community partners help us ex-pand and strengthen the lessonstaught in the classroom. I am pleasedthat through the TNI Fund, thesenine organizations will be able tocontinue to provide services andprograms for the youth and familiesin the community.”

Greenbelt City Council debates costshare for playground resurfacingBy Candace Rojo Keyes@candacerojo

GREENBELT – It takes a vil-lage to keep children safe andhealthy.

Now, the Greenbelt CityCouncil is ready to tackle a coun-cil-deemed “unsafe product” in thecity to ensure the health of its chil-dren.

At a meeting on July 11, thecity council took its heated discus-sion to the play yard, metaphorical-ly, as they hammered out a plan ofaction for replacing the shreddedrubber ground in playgroundsaround the city, specifically in twoplaygrounds owned by GreenbeltHomes, Incorporated (GHI). Thetopic was thoroughly discussedduring a previous work sessionwhere the council had deemed therubber ground unsafe due to re-ports of toxins in the substance.

Mayor Emmett Jordan said thetwo playgrounds, though owned bythe homeowners association, arecoved by the city’s Playground Use& Maintenance Agreement, inwhich the city agreed to maintainplayground equipment in exchangefor “long-term public access,” ac-cording to the agreement.

The agreement covers eighttotal playgrounds owned by GHI.

“GHI has indicated their de-sire to replace the shredded rubberwith engineered wood fiber,” Jor-dan said. “In the (fiscal year) 2016capital projects fund, this fund in-cluded funding for the work.”

Although every member of thecouncil expressed a desire to re-place the shredded rubber at thetwo playgrounds, and expressed a

desire to do so at all playgroundsacross the city, the council dis-agreed heavily on a key componentof the contracted agreement be-tween the city and GHI.

In the agreement, listed asitem number four, GHI and the cityagreed to a 25 percent reimburse-ment rate for work done to theplaygrounds. The agreementspecifically lists new surfacing ma-terials and the “periodic replenish-ment of surfacing materials” asitems where the homeowners asso-ciation must share the cost.

Despite the agreement, someon the council, specifically Coun-cilman Edward Putens, said theydid not support charging the asso-ciation for what they viewed as a“recall” of the shredded rubber.

The total cost of the project isestimated at $16,000, leaving GHIwith an estimated $4,000 price tag.Putens said he cannot justify charg-ing the association when he viewedthe entire situation as a city issue.

The city put the rubber in, sothey should pay for the removal ofit as well, Putens said, and he madea motion for the city to replace therubber without the cost share.

“I move that the council ap-proves replacing the shredded rub-ber with engineered wood fiber andthat’s it,” he said. “I was going tosay the other part, but I don’t wantto do it.”

However Councilwoman LetaMach defended the city’s previouschoice and said when they had de-cided to install the shredded rub-ber, they thought they were makinga good choice.

“Everyone thought it was agood product. It was put down in

good faith and now that some feelthat it should be replaced; and Iagree with that it should be re-placed. I feel that the cost should beshared as well as it was originally,”Mach said.

She said as research is doneand public opinion shifts, thingswill change and “always change,”and said she couldn’t support mak-ing a special exception and possi-bly a new precedent for future re-placements.

Putens still disagreed and saidGHI already paid for the installa-tion of the rubber once and shouldnot have to “pay for it twice,” com-paring the issue to a parts recall in acar – something that must be doneat the cost of the manufacture.

However, City ManagerMichael McLaughlin emphasizedthe shredded rubber was not re-called and is still in use in manycities. The decision to remove thesubstance was the council’s.

The motion put forth byPutens did not pass; however, analternative motion made by Daviswas passed with only Putens dis-senting.

Davis’ motion included the 25percent cost share, but said the as-sociation can pay their share in an“installment plan agreed to by bothparties at a future date.”

Moving forward, AssistantCity Manager David Moran saidthe replacement at the two parkswill likely occur during early fall.

“We’ll get to it as soon as wecan,” he said. “We may catch abreak; public works could squeezeit in, in August or September. But,you know, that’s the goal. As soonas possible.”

UPPER MARLBORO – A Tem-ple Hills man was indicted on guncharges last Thursday by a PrinceGeorge's County grand jury after heshot and killed a countyfirefighter/paramedic and wounded avolunteer firefighter in April.

Although charges have beenbrought against the suspect, theywere not for the death of the firefight-er.

“The grand jury was unable toreturn a murder verdict, but was ableto return six gun charges against Dar-rell Lumpkin,” said Prince George'sCounty State's Attorney Angela Also-

brooks. “Mr. Lumpkin was not legal-ly allowed to own guns due to a pre-vious assault charge in the 1980s.

Lumpkin could serve a maxi-mum of 60 years in prison if convict-ed on the charges, however Also-brooks believes the charges will becombined and result in him serving40 years in prison.

On April 15 around 7:30 p.m.,units from the Prince George's Coun-ty Fire Department responded to the5000 block of Sharon Road to checkon the welfare of a male inside ahouse after his brother was unable tocontact him.

When units arrived on the scene,they were unable to make contactwith the person inside the house. At

that point firefighter/paramedic JohnUlmschneider and volunteer fire-fighter Kevin Swain from the Morn-ingside Volunteer Fire Department,were able to enter the house.

Just after they entered the housethe homeowner, Lumpkin, openedfire on the two thinking a home inva-sion was taking place.

Ulmschneider was transportedto Southern Maryland Trauma Centerin Clinton, where he was later pro-nounced dead. Swain was transport-ed by Maryland State Police heli-copter to the Shock Trauma Center inBaltimore suffering from multiplegunshot wounds to his body. Swainwas hospitalized for several weeksbefore he was released.

Man indicted on gun chargesin killing of firefighter in April

UPPER MARLBORO – OnFriday, after almost two months ofreviewing evidence and testimonyin the fatal shooting of Officer JacaiColson, a grand jury decided it willnot indict the officer who fired thefatal bullet during a gun battle inMarch at police headquarters inLandover.

On March 14, just after 4 p.m.,three brothers drove up BarloweRoad and parked in front of the Dis-trict III police headquarters.Michael Ford then got out holding a.40 caliber handgun and opened fireon police headquarters.

As Ford was shooting, Colson,who was off-duty, arrived and, ac-cording to Chief Hank Stawinski,“saw that his fellow officers were indanger and put himself between hisfellow officers resulting in him be-ing fatally shot by Officer Taylor

Krauss, a six-year veteran of thePrince George's County Police De-partment, who mistook Colson foran armed threat.”

“Our office conducted twoseparate investigations,” saidPrince George's County State's At-torney Angela Alsobrooks. “Thefirst investigation was the shootingat police headquarters by MichaelFord and his two brothers. The sec-ond investigation was the fatalshooting of Officer Colson. A grandjury has decided they will not indictOfficer Krauss.

“This has been a very excruci-ating and painful case with no hap-py ending. We have concluded thecase with Officer Krauss and nowwe are moving forward with thecase against Michael Ford and hisbrothers.”

Alsobrooks said Colson's fam-ily is “disappointed” with the deci-sion and wants people held ac-countable. Krauss was placed on

administrative leave soon after theshooting occurred and is awaitingthe outcome of a departmentalhearing.

Bowie approves renovation of Allen Pond amphitheaterBy Emily Blackner@emilyblackner

BOWIE – The middle groundwas music to council members’ earsin Bowie last Monday.

On July 11, the Bowie CityCouncil voted unanimously to ap-prove the second, “moderate” ofthree proposed design concepts forthe renovation of the brickhouse re-strooms and the amphitheater inAllen Pond Park. Funding for theproject had already been included aspart of the five-year Capital Im-provements Program (CIP) passedalongside the fiscal year 2017(FY17) budget earlier this year, butcity staff recommended upgradingthose plans, which therefore ex-ceeded the budget.

The current CIP designates$1,823,300 for project. The newproposal is estimated to cost$3,235,000 due to increased esti-mates for redoing a parking lot andthe amphitheater/stage and addingsome additional restrooms. Citystaff recommended the upgradedplan because it would provide a bet-ter amenity for residents, Acting

City Manager John Fitzwater said.“The staff memo also identifies

a potential source for that money,the Program Open Space moniesthat are now programmed for landacquisition,” he said. “There may besome funding that may enable us tomove forward with it.”

The city council heard fromstaff at A. Thomas Morton Associ-ates (ATM) about the proposed ren-ovations. In accordance with the2010 Allen Pond Master Plan, theywill include increased ADA compli-ance, provide ceiling and stagelighting and include vehicle accessto the stage, tiered seating and im-proved acoustics. The team decidedto go with a tension structure for theamphitheater, which has low main-tenance needs, has at least a 30-yearwarranty and can be made verycost-effective, and will feel like apavilion and provide better views ofthe pond beyond.

“I like the concept. It's verymodern. It fits Bowie quite well,”Mayor Pro-Tem Henri Gardnersaid.

As explained by Gregory Os-band, project manager with ATM,

the firm concurred with the MasterPlan in moving the location of theamphitheater away from its currentposition. Their proposal shifts it justa bit farther away from theboathouse. This is to prevent the sunfrom shining direct into performers’eyes as it does in the current am-phitheater.

“We do feel that, as comparedto the existing stage and location,that this will provide a signatureamenity for the park,” he said. “It’sgoing to be something that’s identi-fiable (and) exciting.”

Other renovations will includeadding a restroom near the am-phitheater that can be used, in part,by performers as changing or stag-ing areas, expanding the existingbrick house restrooms from 300square feet to 500 square feet (withtwo male, two female and one uni-sex restroom), and increasing thecapacity of the parking lot by about20 percent over the Master Plan.

Although all the council mem-bers expressed strong support forthis project, several of them raisedquestions during the briefing.

Councilwoman Diane Polan-

gin wanted to know how the tensileamphitheater would fare in theharsh storms Maryland can experi-ence in both the summer and thewinter.

“How is it going to hold up tostorms? You said it was very lightso I can see it like the Wizard ofOz,” she said.

Design Architect MJ Wojew-odzki assured her the materials,which include fiberglass, are allvery durable and the frame is builtso there will be no movement in theroof.

“It’s light in terms of how youperceive it, but not light in terms ofits structural capacity,” she said.

Councilwoman CourtneyGlass wanted to know if any treeswould be displaced by the newstage and if they would be replaced.

Osband said any trees lostwould be younger, weaker trees,and healthier specimens to replacethem are already in the project’sbudget.

“A lot of these trees are not inthe best of shape. We are avoidingany high-quality trees,” he said.“We may have to remove a dozen or

they may even be two dozen inthere, but they are small trees.”

Councilman Michael Estevepraised the team for includingamenities that the citizens of Bowiehave told him they value.

“I like that in your plan you in-clude a shuttle access, which is im-portant. A lot of my residents aretelling me they increasingly wantalternative transportation in publicspaces like this,” he said.

He also asked about what ac-commodations, like trails or park-ing, have been made for bicyclistswho use or would want to use thepark. Wojewodzki admitted thiswas not something they had lookedat so far.

“That’s actually a great pointand something we'll keep in mindgoing forward,” she said.

With the council’s vote, thecity staff will need to work on anupdated funding request for theFY18 budget and that cycle’s CIP,which will be debated in the firsthalf of 2017. If the funds are ap-proved then, the renovations willbegin in stages, with the amphithe-ater being the first.

What’s happening in and around the city of HyattsvilleBy Candace Rojo Keyes@candacerojo

Keeping Up With the Audits

Hyattsville Treasurer RonBrooks had good news for thecity council at the July 18 meet-ing. The fiscal year 2014 auditwas officially closed on July 8with no major findings. Afterstarting three years behind on au-dits when he took the job, Brooksexpects to finish the fiscal year2015 audit by October.

Although Brooks expects toseek an extension on the fiscalyear 2016 audit, which is due inDecember, he said he expects thecity to be completely back on

track for fiscal year 2017.

Seeking Opinions

The city council will hold apublic hearing on August 1 at 7p.m. to gauge the public’s opin-ion on a possible issuance of re-funding bonds for the UniversityTown Center special taxing dis-trict. The aggregate principalamount will not exceed approxi-mately $17,700, and the interestrate would not exceed 5 percentper annum. Brooks said this agood opportunity for the towncenter.

Being Compliant

The city council voted unani-mously Monday to approve acontact with Team Cam for ADAaccommodations on NicholsonStreet.

The city agreed to installramps and complete sidewalks onNicholson Street, following acomplaint from a resident whocould not get around due to thecurrent state of the street.

The contract with Team Camis not to exceed $18,000 and allthe finished ramps will be incompliance with Federal ADARegulations.

Say Cheese

Be on the lookout for a newspeed camera on Baltimore Av-enue.

Over the past several yearsHyattsville has received speedcameras as part of the SpeedCamera Monitoring laws passedduring the 2014 legislative ses-sion.

The newest installment is onthe 5800 block of Baltimore Av-enue near DeMatha CatholicHigh School on the southboundside of the road. The camera willissue only warnings until July 26.

Chim Chim Cher-ee

The city’s public works de-partment is looking into purchas-

ing a street sweeper to increaseefforts against litter and generaldebris pollution across the city.

Lesley Riddle, the publicworks director, said the streetsweeper is one of the most effec-tive tools in preventing storm wa-ter pollution. The city has not hada street sweeper since 2012.

The proposal is for a Stew-art-Amos Street Sweeper, StarfireS4 for an amount not to exceed$203,000.

The city is also considering aprogram to let neighboring mu-nicipalities use the cleaner for anagreed-upon hourly driver andequipment rate and is pursuinggrant funding as well.

Tiafoe’s errors spell doom in opening round of the Citi OpenBy Sean Farrell@Sean_PGSSports

WASHINGTON D.C. – Oneof tennis’ most hyped prospects,Hyattsville native Frances Tiafoe,put his skills on display againstFrench journeyman Adrian Man-narino late Monday night at theCiti Open at Rock Creek Park Ten-nis Center.

Tiafoe fell 7-6 (7-4), 7-5 infront of his hometown fans andfamily after a solid start turneddisastrous due to unforced errors.But there is still plenty of promiseahead for the 18-year-old prospectwho enjoyed his experience.

“I was looking forward to theCiti Open this year more than anyother tournament,” Tiafoe said. “I

am thankful for the chance to playin front of my family and friendsand I tried to make the most of theopportunity.”

Jeff Newman, who is the tour-nament director, made sure Tiafoewas given a wild card and the op-portunity at home-field advantage.

“Having Frances in the drawis really the best of both worlds forus,” Newman told Shomari Stoneof NBC4 DC. “He is a well knowntennis player, and an extremelywell known tennis player in theD.C. area. From a ticket stand-point, it is a great opportunity forus and also a great story.”

The story is, in fact, a greatone for Tiafoe. Growing up, his fa-ther, who was from Sierra Leone,was a maintenance worker for the

Junior Tennis Champions Centrenear Washington, D.C. It is whereFrances and his twin brothercalled home as they slept on amassage table when they had noother place to go.

Through his perseverance andhard work, Tiafoe became a tennisprodigy at 15 when he became theyoungest player ever to win theOrange Bowl (the most presti-gious 18-and-under tournament intennis). From there, the prodigygrew into a prospect and has be-come a very humble and happyyoung man at just 18 years of age.

The crowd had died downdrastically by the time Tiafoe tookto the court after a lengthy rain de-lay pushed the start time to hismatch from 8:30 p.m. to past 11

p.m. But regardless of the circum-stances, Tiafoe was still deter-mined to come out with a win.

“It’s unbelievable playinghere. I had goose bumps and wasreally excited and ready to go,” hesaid.

The first set was a tightly con-tested, back-and-forth match untilTiafoe pulled ahead with his pow-erful serve and recorded sevenaces in the first set. Mannarino,being the veteran that he is, didnot panic and chipped away at thelead Tiafoe had built and pushedthe first set into a tiebreaker. Man-narino would take the tie breakerand the set, 7-6 (7-4).

In the second set, Tiafoeagain exploded into a 3-0 lead.However, Mannarino weathered

that storm as well. Tiafoe continu-ously kept making mental errorsand they ended up costing him thematch in straight sets. Only Tiafoeknows the cause of his errors, butthe match was one he could’veeasily won in straight sets. Still,he had no reason to hang his headand intends to learn from his mis-takes.

“Hard work is everything.Talent only takes you so far and ifyou believe it you can do it,” hesaid. “Never let anyone say youcan’t do something because noth-ing is impossible. I’m here doingwhat I’m doing now, so nothing isimpossible.”

Mannarino advances to facethe fifth-ranked Steve Johnson inthe second round.

Local restaurants partner with Redskins for gameday menuBy Daniel Kucin Jr.Sports Editor

LANDOVER – Every die hardfan knows the gameday experienceis about more than just the game.

Food is a huge component ofthat experience and WashingtonRedskins fans just had a hand in thefuture selections at FedExField.

A new menu full of local andfarm-fresh choices was on the agen-da and the Redskins granted that re-quest for their loyal fan base. OnJuly 13, fans had the opportunity totaste-test a variety of foods that theywill get to enjoy this upcoming sea-son.

“The Washington Redskins arecommitted to providing the bestpossible fan experience at FedEx-Field,” said Chris Bloyer, senior

vice president of stadium operationsand guest relations. “We paid closeattention to suggestions from thispast season and believe this newmenu will enhance dining at our sta-dium.”

Fans have been asking for asignature hot dog that would set it-self apart from the rest of the com-petition. Owners Mike and JasonTrippett of Hagerstown-based Hoff-man Meats made that happen. Hoff-man Meats produces only all-natur-al, gluten-free products with nopreservatives, nitrates, artificial col-ors or artificial flavors.

After tasting four differentchoices, they decided the hot dogwill consist of bacon, ham, sausageand pulled pork. Other local restau-rant and food providers will gracehome games with delicious delights

as well. Mark Henry of Island Bwoy

Cuisine wanted to live the “Ameri-can Dream,” and he found it inBowie. Henry studied at the Culi-nary Institute of America where helearned how to make differentsausages that captured the essenceof his home country of Jamaica.Since 2011, Henry and Island BwoyCuisine have provided unique andscrumptious dishes for the masses.

“It is a tremendous opportunityand I look forward to working withour local community,” Henry said.“The sky is the limit.

“We opened our manufactur-er’s facility in Temple Hills threeyears ago and we are already look-ing to expand. I love giving back tothe community and that is what it isall about. I do this because I have a

passion for it.”Another local tie with the Red-

skins organization is Bob Hall basedout of Upper Marlboro. JamesDammeyer began his brewing ca-reer in 2009 when he joined BobHall and then relocated to the westcoast in San Diego during the heightof the beer craft movement.Dammeyer returned to the area in2013 as a craft specialist to providesome of the best libations the areahas to offer.

“I have been a lifetime Red-skins fan, so working with them hasbeen a dream,” Dammeyer said. “Ienjoy it, it is a natural fit, and youget to try a lot of different styles.

“The craft beer movement hasreally expanded, so getting the craftbeers in the stadium will only helpthe local economy. I hope to see

more PG county breweries, so Ithink it will definitely help theeconomy and the surroundingarea.”

Caribbean Cove (Bowie) andLyons Bakery (Hyattsville) willalso provide dishes for fans to en-joy. Paul Hannam of CaribbeanCove worked on the culinary teamat the Blair House for 12 years serv-ing three different presidential ad-ministrations and his Jamaican cui-sine is sure to make your mouth wa-ter. For fans with a sweet tooth,Lyons Bakery provides some of thebest desserts around and has main-tained the highest certifications infood and safety.

No matter what fans choose toeat at FedExField this season, expe-rienced chefs and caterers will sat-isfy their palate.

BOWIE – The Belair Bath &Tennis (BBT) swim team had an-other solid meet on Saturday as ittook on Adelphi with many seniorswimmers looking to make a finalsplash this summer.

Everyone was excited to par-ticipate at the meet with theirteammates for one last time.Swimmer Chad Williams was oneof BBT's stronger competitors. Heswam his final event in the teamrelays and the BBT family said it isgoing to miss his leadership.

“Chad came just to swim inthe last event which was the relay,because he’s a senior and wantedto do that for his team,” HeadCoach Jeanine Surfus said. “But Ithink a lot of the kids did reallywell and his leadership will bemissed.”

In other races throughout theday, personal best times were setfor BBT as several swimmers hada fantastic meet. In the boy’s 11-12 50-meter freestyle, BBT tookfirst place in all three heats asJohnny Farley (37.71), Miles

Evans (40.52) and Marco Harris(45.71) all posted stellar times todominate their fields.

“This season, I’m looking atlittle improvements like streamlin-ing, coming off walls, making goodturns with proper technique, alongwith good finishes,” Surfus said.“Everyone has done very well.

“I try to tell them they’re rac-ing against themselves and ofcourse to try and out touch their op-ponent, but they’re really racingagainst themselves trying to beattheir own time. It doesn’t matter ifthey get first in the event or lastplace as long as they try to improvethemselves.”

Ryan New won the 100-meterfreestyle for BBT with a time of1:14.27. He was very excited to beout there with his team enjoyingthe sun and competition.

“Well, it was really fun to seetwo teams come together,” Newsaid. “Even though we’re ‘ene-mies,’ we’re still going to cheer onthe other team and tell them ‘goodgame’ and everything. It’s great tosee people coming together likethat.”

BBT now moves on to the di-

visional competitions on July 23 atWhite Hall in Bowie. And althoughthe BBT swim club is going upagainst teams with year-round

swimmers, New is still excited totake part in the event.

“We’re moving on to facingthe year-round swimmers, so we’re

probably going to lose that nextmeet, but I feel like we’re doing agood job. We have fun with it,which is all that matters.”

Antuanne Russell is on his way to the Olympic GamesBy Ron Harris@DCRonski

CAPITOL HEIGHTS – Whenthe 2016 Olympic Games begin inRio, Antuanne Russell will join thelikes of former DMV Olympianssuch as Clarence Vinson (2000,Bronze Medal), Charles Mooney(1976), Louis Curtis (1976), alongwith the greatest Olympian from theDMV, Sugar Ray Leonard (1976,Gold Medal).

Russell, who is just 20 yearsold, is a member of the Russell box-ing family of Capitol Heights. Theyare the most decorated family in am-ateur boxing history, as all fourbrothers have won the NationalGolden Gloves championship. Gary,Jr. won in 2005, Allan won in 2010,Antonio won in 2013 and Russellwon in 2014. Gary, Jr. was also anOlympian after he made the 2008team, but did not participate due toextenuating circumstances.

Gary, Sr., coach of all of hissons, calls the family “the blood linesof royalty, and Antuanne is theprince.”

“We expected him to make theOlympic team,” said Gary, Sr., whois proud of his youngest son and howhe distinguished himself as a scholar.“Antuanne was the valedictorian ofhis senior class in high school. Hecarries that mind set into each fight.”

Gary, Jr. said he also holds a lotof pride for his brother.

“What I am most proud of is theway he listens to our father,” he said.“He is so smart, in and out of thering.

“We give our parents all thecredit for our success. They instilledthe work ethic that we all display.”

The Russells are humble. Theydon’t seem to realize what an incred-ible accomplishment it is to havefour brothers with National GoldenGloves championships and a profes-sional with a world title belt.

“I listen to my coach, becausehe not only coaches me, he is my fa-ther,” Russell said. “He makes mefocus. We sometimes work out sevenhours a day.”

The path to the Olympics is atough one. After a fighter “makes”the U.S. team, they must compete inan international tournament and winagainst a foreign opponent, not once,but twice.

“It’s almost like the pros,” saidGary, Sr. “There is no head gear likeregular amateur tournaments andthey fight five round fights. They doget paid, which is good. That is whysome young fighters turn pro ratherthan try out for the Olympics.”

One such fighter is D.C.’s ownLamont Roach, Jr. He was favored tomake the team, but his father madethe decision to turn pro instead of go-ing through the grind of making the

U.S. team. Plus, if a fighter fails inthe international tournament of thetrials, they can be left off the team.

Russell will fight in the 141-pound division. He is a naturalsouthpaw and according to his dad,he “has knockout power.”

With less than a monthleft untilthe start of the games, Russell istraining in Colorado Springs.

“We are check sparring, alongwith strength and conditioningwork,” Russell said. “Because the airquality is different, the altitude. It’s abig advantage for when we go out ofthe country to compete.

“As for techniques, my fathertweaks things so I can keep improv-

ing.” But how can his father work

with the fighter when he is home andthe fighter is in Colorado? “Don’tforget, he has been training me allmy life. He can tweak me with hiseyes closed.”

Associate Olympic boxingcoach Kay Koroma has followed theRussell family for years.

“Antuanne was way ahead ofhis years,” he said. “He was doingthings that his older brothers weredoing when he was 10 years old. Heis one of the fighters that we expectto medal in Rio.”

Russell has very little experi-ence in international boxing, but Ko-

roma said “he’s stepping up.”“He trusts us as coaches and he

is showing that he really wants it,”he said.

The Olympic coaches find ithard to focus on would-be oppo-nents in Russell’s division because alot of the fighters they thoughtwould qualify from other countriesdid not.

“Since Antuanne is kind of arookie, everybody is a threat and wehave to look at it like that,” Koromasaid.

Russell is a supremely confi-dent fighter with tremendous skillsand the entire family is looking forthe “prince” to bring home the gold.
