Forty days in prison was all Joseph Eldridge, 32, of Oxon Hill said he needed to decide he needed to turn his life around.

The unemployed father of two said he had to take advantage of a job opportunity with Nevada-based skilled trades staffing company CLP, which recruited ex-offenders at an open house Jan. 22 at the Birchwood Community Center in Oxon Hill.

“Everything happens for a reason,” Eldridge said. “I never would have met them or have this opportunity if that didn’t happen.”

The open house was organized for ex-offenders from the Glassmanor-Oxon Hill area by the Prince George’s County Transforming Neighborhoods Initiative, which works to reduce crime and improve quality of life in six areas of the county, including Glassmanor-Oxon Hill.

“If you return to the community and can’t get a job, you return to crime,” said Yolanda Evans, spokeswoman for the county’s Department of Corrections.

Nicole Newsome, a DOC reentry program coordinator, said the department reached out to nonprofits and groups that work with ex-offenders to identify potential CLP job applicants. Newsome said candidates who had committed particularly severe crimes were disqualified at the request of the employer.

After a stressful day at work, Dawn Patrick likes to turn on some country music and relax with a wine glass — an empty one.

The Bowie resident and dental practice manager is the owner of a new small business called “Glassy Gurlz” — a custom glass-printing service that turns a plain wine glass, mug or mason jar into a memorable keepsake. Patrick runs the business with two fellow wine-lovers — her daughters Hailey and Holli Patrick.

“I wanted a business where I could work with my daughters, Holli and Hailey, and we could be in control of our own destiny while using our creative minds,” Dawn Patrick said in an email. “One of our favorite things to do is wine tours and tastings of various wineries in the [Maryland and Virginia] area so I thought,

See JOBS, Page A-5

why not do something creative with the wine theme?”

The business idea was born last year when Patrick’s youngest daughter was a student at the University of Maryland, College Park, and was visiting her mother on winter break, said Hailey Patrick, 22.

The pair decided their wine glasses were less than glamorous and wanted to add a few creative touches, Hailey Patrick said.

“We didn’t want the plain old clear glasses.

And having a cute glass is always a motivation to have another glass of wine,” she said with a laugh. “We were having so much fun, we said ‘we should sell these things’.”

Hailey Patrick now attends law school in Charleston, SC, but said she still helps create classy glasses for Glassy Gurlz when she visits

Prince George’s County leaders are hoping to restore $20 million in state education cuts, while convincing the state’s new governor that projects such as the Purple Line need to move forward.

Prince George’s County Council Chair Mel Franklin (DDist. 9) of Upper Marlboro characterized Gov. Larry Hogan’s (R) proposed $40 billion budget as a “mixed bag” for the county.

“It could have been worse. It doesn’t go to one extreme or the other, which is in keeping in line with the governor’s promises,” Franklin said.

Hogan’s budget includes $6.1 billion statewide for education, but also includes a 50 percent cut to the Geographical Cost of Education Index, or GCEI, a non-mandated formula that provides extra funding to larger, more urban school districts.

Prince George’s County received $40 million from the GCEI last year.

“The cuts to education are going to be difficult. These are real jobs and real people at stake,” Franklin said.

A $20 million cut is the equivalent of 250 teaching positions, said Raymond Brown, Prince George’s County Public Schools’ chief financial officer.

“We’re not saying we’re cutting 250 positions, but that’s just to give you an idea of the magnitude of the reduction,” Brown

For the next two months, some interesting characters including “Mr. Sunny Sundae,” “Crazy Banana” and “Mr. Cheesy” will grace the hallways and lobby of Bowie City Hall.

These colorful, creativelytitled art pieces are part of a new student exhibit that opened Jan. 19 at City Hall and will run through mid-March.

The student art exhibit features about 80 pieces that were selected by the children’s art teachers at Bowie public and private schools, said Annette

Esterheld, the city’s community outreach specialist.

“We’ve been trying to think of a way to do something for the young people,” Esterheld said. “We expected five schools maybe [would participate], but we were surprised and delighted that 10 schools responded. We’re pretty excited and we appreciate all the art teachers who supported it.”

The City Council’s previous meeting spot on Kenhill Drive used to have a dedicated area for children’s art, but this year’s student exhibit is the first of its kind at the new City Hall on Excalibur Road, which opened in 2011, Esterheld said.

“You walk into any elementary school in the city and I guarantee you can’t walk out

without a smile,” Bowie Mayor G. Frederick Robinson said.

“There are an incredible number of talented kids in the city and to let kids with artistic talent have a place to display that I think is wonderful.”

Matthew Thornton, 11, is a fifth-grader at Kenilworth Elementary in Bowie and said his art piece is of a Native American kachina — or supernatural creature.

“I made my artwork look as realistic as possible — I tried to get all the shapes of the human body,” Matthew said. “My artwork had an archer who had a bow and arrow and he had lots of armor and feathers.”

Pointer Ridge Elementary advances to Science Bowl semifinals Bowie school wins snow day makeup game n

BY

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

“Tense,” “awesome” and “amazing” were just some of the adjectives three Bowie elementary school students used to describe the final round of their Jan. 22 Science Bowl game show competition.

The team of students from Pointer Ridge Elementary beat their competitors from Deerfield Run Elementary School in Laurel 205 to 145 and will advance to play University Park Elementary School in a semifinal elimination round on Feb. 10.

The qualifier game was rescheduled from Jan. 6, when Prince George’s schools closed for inclement weather.

“We were feeling pretty confident and we were working

together as a team, then when we go to 200 points we were like ‘yay,’” said fifth-grader Tomi Ogunleye, 10, of Bowie.

“I’m just very proud of them,” said Melissa Reedy, a second-grade teacher at Pointer Ridge and the team’s sponsor.

“They worked very hard.”

The county public school system’s annual Science Bowl is a televised competition where elementary and middle school students compete in teams of three and answer Jeopardy-style questions related to science.

“It was hard [waiting two weeks to play] because we wanted to go, but it was also good that we didn’t go because we got more practice,” said Adriana Borromeo, 10, of Bowie, a Pointer Ridge team member and fifth-grader.

Pointer Ridge narrowly beat a team from Mount Rainier Elementary School in the first round of competition 185 to 160.

Veteran judge Debbie Phillips of Montpelier, a wildlife educator at Patuxent Research Refuge in Laurel, said she enjoyed judging the competition.

“I thought it was exciting, I thought Deerfield staged a really good comeback,” she said.

“We’re very proud they came here today and they really represent their schools well.”

Phillips said being able to affirm students in their scientific pursuits is reward enough for her.

“I love encouraging students, especially in science,” she said. “I like it when girls can pick up worms and not be scared.

This is what it’s all about – young kids learning science.” eshaughnessy@gazette.net

Veterans seek better access to county assistance programs Military members want dedicated service office

n

BY

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

In an American Legion meeting hall milling with dozens of Prince George’s County residents who dedicated their lives to serving their country, few knew there were three local offices they could visit to get help with employment, social services and finance.

That’s because, somehow, many of the approximate 70,000 veterans in the county are not getting access to the information or help they need, said Lonnie Bryant Jr. of Capitol Heights.

“The primary issues I’m seeing [among county veterans] is homelessness, claims and benefits and the medical support they require and they need,” said the 36-year Army veteran. “You’ve got too many homeless veterans walking around with no place to go.”

Bryant, a commander with the National Association of Black Veterans, was one of around 50 veterans who attended a Jan. 22 focus group headed by the Prince George’s County Commission for Veterans at the American Legion Post 275 in Glenarden.

The meeting was the last of three held in the county over the past month to assess the needs of county veterans and gauge interest in a county-level

“There are a lot of things we don’t know, but no one is telling us,” said veteran Frank Braswell, 72, of Bowie. “Homelessness, jobs, things like that are [the biggest issues for county veterans]. It’s things they’re entitled to.”

Other concerns raised were affordable housing, mental health services, support for veteran-owned businesses and aid for homeless veterans.

Army veteran Henry Turner of Upper Marlboro oversaw the focus groups as a county consultant and said participants were overwhelmingly in support of a Prince George’s County office of veterans’ affairs to help inform and support the veteran population.

“We’ve been at war for 13 years, we now have hundreds of thousands of veterans who are leaving the military,” Turner said. “The veteran population is increasing. They need transition back into civilian employment, they need to live somewhere. ” Turner said the veterans commission will assemble community feedback and present the findings to county officials.

“The veteran population is a population that normally has jobs, normally pays their taxes, don’t get arrested and don’t get in trouble,” Turner said. “It makes all the sense in the world to want to have your communities filled with individuals who are reliable.” eshaughnessy@gazette.net

Bowie looks to the sky for energy aid Solar co-op seeks to recruit more members n

BY

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

Some Bowie residents are warming up to the idea of using their roofs to harness energy .

Around 20 community members have formed a solar panel co-op and plan to purchase and install the technology at a discounted rate.

An informational meeting held at City Hall on Jan. 14 was standing room only as more than 40 residents gathered to learn more about solar energy from Washington, D.C.-based

nonprofit MD Sun. “I’m a tree hugger,” said Paul Mason of Bowie, who said he plans on joining the co-op and encouraging his neighbors to do the same. “The [financial savings] is an added benefit.”

Emily Stiever, chief of staff for MD Sun, said solar panels can offset an energy bill by 30 to 60 percent and offer other financial incentives like tax credits, insurance discounts and a potential property value increase.

MD Sun serves as solar coop coordinator and moderator between community members and panel installers, Stiever said.

Kristin Larson, Bowie’s sustainability planner, said residents’ interest in pursuing solar

1935357

energy was apparent during the city’s Climate Action Plan formation last year.

Residents must have mostly unshaded roofs that face south, east or west, Stiever said.

Weather also can affect energy production, said MD Sun program director Corey Ramsden.

Resident Nancy Franklin, who purchased her own solar panel four years ago, said the benefits far outweigh the costs.

“Our electric bill has gone down from an average of $265 to either nothing in a month or $50 to $60,” she said. “It’s been really great.”

Franklin said she attended the meeting to encourage her fellow residents to take the plunge.

Mary Martha Kuhn of Bowie said she and her husband don’t like being completely dependent on utility companies, but are still weighing the costs and benefits of solar energy.

“It actually looks more affordable than we thought,” Kuhn said. “We certainly are interested in saving money. We have an older home, so we will have to investigate whether it will work.”

Stiever encouraged co-op members to invite their friends and neighbors to join the group, which likely will move on to vendor selecting and purchasing in early spring. eshaughnessy@gazette.net

WSSC seeks input on fiscal 2016 budget

BY JEFFREY LYLES STAFF WRITER

Prince George’s residents will see some fee increases and could potentially be able to apply for government assistance on their water utility bills.

Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, or WSSC, officials will share plans for the fiscal 2016 budget at a Feb. 5 budget hearing.

WSSC customers can view the proposed budget at www. wsscwater.com/proposedchanges.

“This is the customers’ time if they have comments to come out and let their voice be heard,” said WSSC spokesman Jerry Irvine. “Part of that budget is changing some of the fees we collect as we’re increasing some and we’re decreasing the water usage rate.”

The increase to the ready to serve fee, will allow WSSC to help plan for long-term budgeting and maintenance issues, Irvine said.

“What it’s going to do for customers is that over the course of the mid-term to longterm it will lower the trajectory of the rate increase,” Irvine said. “For the last decade, we’ve

The Patricks sold their glasses locally in Bowie for a short time then opened an online Etsy store last February, Dawn Patrick said. It took the women six weeks to receive their first order, but now the Etsy store receives an order almost daily — and orders are typically for multiple glasses, she said.

pretty much doubled the rate increase and that’s not a sustainable model for the customers going forward.”

Irvine said WSSC hopes that in raising the fixed fees over the next two years, the utility will be able to keep the water rate increasing to one or two percent going forward.”

Citing the sinkhole situation just outside of Bladensburg on Tuesday due to a water main break of a 90-year-old pipe, Irvine said WSSC customers are aware that increases are necessary to handle the aging infrastructure.

“A quarter of the pipe we have in the ground is 50 years or older and we’re being as aggressive as we can in regards to repairing them while being mindful of how these rate increaes are impacting our customers,” Irvine said.

WSSC also plans to travel to Annapolis and ask the General Assembly for support of a customer affordability program to aid customers in need similar to heat and other utility assistance efforts through the government, Irvine said.

The hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 5 at the RMS Building Room 308, 1400 McCormick Drive in Largo.

Myron Garrett (left), a trade recruiter with CLP, a Nevada-based skilled trades staffing company, reviews an employment application Jan. 22 with Carl Perry, 32, of Oxon Hill. Perry said he is seeking employment after more than five years in prison.

JOBS

Continued from Page A-1 Fifty ex-offenders were ultimately prescreened for tradesmen positions with CLP and invited to the open house Jan. 22.

Twenty applicants attended the event and interviewed with CLP recruiter Myron Garrett.

“These men and women have been looking for employment for a long time,” Garrett said. “We can give them that opportunity.”

At the beginning of the open house, Garrett told applicants that CLP only had three expectations of them, regardless of their criminal background: come to work, do their work and be on time.

“Somewhere down the line they lost guidance and we want to guide them,” Garrett said. “If you take these principals and apply them to life, you won’t go down that path again.”

Garrett said all 20 applicants who came to the open house will be hired for projects at the 17 county CLP job sites.

The secret to the Glassy Gurlz glasses is an adhesive vinyl which the Patricks cut based on requested designs. They also often paint the bottoms of the glasses with paint or glitter, Patrick said.

Samantha Moore of Ellicot City said she heard about Glassy Gurlz while living in Bowie and has purchased wine glasses and coffee mugs from the company. The creative cups helped put her in the running in an unofficial family competition for unique Christmas presents, she said.

“I did not get the craft gene.

I like everybody else’s crafts but I am not a crafty person,” she said. “I love [Dawn’s] products.

“It’s going to help me become a man and be there for my kids,” Eldridge said. “It’s an opportunity I never had.

I’ve got to take advantage of it.”

Carl Perry, 32, of Oxon Hill said that he found out about the job opportunity from a deacon at Fort Foote Baptist Church in Fort Washington.

After serving more than five years in prison for robbery with a dangerous weapon, Perry said he wants to set a positive example for his 13-year-old daughter.

“I just really hope I get grounded in a career, start a retirement plan, be able to leave my family something,” Perry said.

Henry Walker, Jr. 57, of District Heights was incarcerated for seven years and said gainful employment is a lifeline.

School in Bowie, said choosing seven students from around 800 to be featured in the exhibit was a very difficult task.

“That’s the part I hate is looking through all this beautiful art and only picking seven,” she said. “I was looking for good craftsmanship and I was looking for creativity.”

Brunetti said her students used to participate in the student displays at the Kenhill Center and is happy there is a local exhibit option for students once again.

“Sometimes I’ll send my kids’ work to the county art shows, but since they’re not in Bowie, sometimes parents don’t make it to the reception,” she said. “I think this is a good outlet because it’s local. The [students] just feel pretty special to have their art hanging in City Hall.” eshaughnessy@gazette.net

CUTS

Continued from Page A-1 said.

Brown said the GCEI funding loss is offset somewhat by increased funding through other formulas, but that the

school system is looking at approximately a loss of $6 million overall from CEO Kevin Maxwell’s proposed budget.

Brown said he could not offer specifics, but said he and the CEO would work with the board to find additional areas of cuts or savings to make up the dif-

ference.

A final budget work session with the school board followed by a public hearing is scheduled Feb. 10.

“We’ll continue to receive public comment and see what we can do to continue to make progress for our school system

in these difficult fiscal times,” Brown said.

Jay Walker (D-Dist. 26) of Fort Washington, chairman of the Prince George’s House Delegation to the General Assembly, said county legislators would work to reduce those cuts.

Thursday, January 29, 2015 bo “We have to convince the governor that he made a mistake, and that it is important to restore that funding,” Walker said of the GCEI. “Our children’s education is certainly something that is worth fighting for.”

Hogan’s budget includes

$30 million for a proposed regional medical center in Largo, for which the county is still awaiting final approval from the state.

“It’s good to see that the governor is continuing the state’s investment in a regional medical center, which will help improve health outcomes for the region as well as providing a boost to the economy,” Franklin said.

Thomas Himler, Prince George’s County’s deputy chief administrative officer for budget and finance, said the governor’s budget includes funding for the Purple Line, a proposed light rail project running from Bethesda to New Carrollton, but said the project is currently under review.

“He didn’t make a decision yet as to whether to continue the project, but he did put some funding in, pending his review,” Himler said.

Franklin said the $2.45 billion Purple Line project is vital to the county’s efforts to increase transit oriented development in the county.

David Iannucci, County Executive Rushern L. Baker’s chief economic policy advisor, said in December that the Purple Line is too important to the county to even consider the impact of its being cancelled.

“The focus is on convincing all parties the Purple Line has to go ahead,” Iannucci said. janfenson-comeau@ gazette.net

DEBATE

Continued from Page A-1 launched the debate league at the encouragement of associate superintendent Sito Narcisse.

“The skills transfer to so many areas of life,” Rose said.

“It helps the students to strategize, it helps them to think critically and it helps them to apply those skills in any situation.”

During the Jan. 22 tournament, students defended or opposed the use of offensive operations by UN peacekeepers.

Weaver and her partner, Aaron Pickett, 18, of Fort Washington represented Croom Vocational High School in Cheltenham and advanced to the second round of the tournament.

Pickett said preparing for debates requires a lot of studying, but listening to his opponent also helped him win his first debate. When Bladensburg High School student Leo Figueroa, 17, of Hyattsville defended offensive actions by the need to use an “iron fist,” Pickett countered by suggesting a non-violent alternative — speaking with a “silver tongue.”

“What I enjoy most is seeing the students shine,” said Friendly High School teacher Janis Pace, who judged the Croom v. Bladensburg debate.

“When they’re good, they’re really good.”

The Croom team faced the Wise High School team in its second round. Jerron Hawkins, 17, and Tatiana Ruiz, 16, both of Upper Marlboro, defended offensive operations by citing examples of deadly conflicts that could have been controlled by a peacekeeper offense.

“When you do your own research, your argument is very strong,” Ruiz said. “Doing our own research solidifies our argument.”

Ruiz said she prefers crossfire, when teams challenge each others’ arguments, to speaking at the podium.

“My favorite part is crossfire because that’s when you get to knock down their argument,” Ruiz said. “That’s when you know you’re winning.”

Rose said she’s seen students blossom as individuals since the first practice scrimmage was held last year, but she was most impressed with the maturity of the teams. After debates, she saw students give each other constructive criticism and offer words of encouragement.

“That type of team building in an academic competition is something you don’t very much see with high school students, and that’s what it was really all about,” Rose said.

The next tournament is open to the public and will be held Feb. 21 at the Bowie High School annex campus, located at 3021 Belair Drive in Bowie.

“The city’s animal shelter was really intended to be a holding facility, but over the years, it’s turned into more than that and it’s grown far beyond the facility’s current capabilities,” College Park Councilman Patrick Wojahn (Dist. 1) told The Gazette. “We really need to find something better as a long-term solution.”

It’s a problem voiced by other municipalities, as well. Bowie recently created its own animal holding shelter, citing the challenges residents have in traveling to Upper Marlboro to look for lost pets.

A second county shelter might also take some of the load off the Upper Marlboro shelter, which has struggled to keep up with demand and has come under fire for its animal euthanasia rate over the years.

In addition to studying the feasibility of a north county animal shelter, the study will look at possible sites and whether to create a satellite adoption center instead.

The majority of pet adoptions at the county shelter come from north county residents, so the adoption center may make sense — but it may fail to address convenience issues for residents looking for lost pets (and the related temporary animal housing issues currently faced by municipalities).

The study is an encouraging sign, however.

For too long, municipalities have implemented piecemeal measures to address the challenges faced by lost pets.

The contribution by these officials to find a united solution to the problem is not only a promising sign for municipalities’ bottom line, but it’s also a sign of hope for the many pets searching for their home.

Study ways to prevent police shootings It was very thoughtful of you to travel from far away in order to get to the right place and protest against the killings of unarmed young black men by white police officers. (Are you aware that unarmed was a black young man years ago who was at the police custody who grabbed a police officer’s gun and killed two policemen on the spot?) Also, why don’t you protest about frequent killings among the black youths in N.Y.C.; Chicago; Philadelphia; Detroit; Washington, D.C., etc.?

If you would like to reduce the killings, you have to get to the roots of the problem and not to jump around, because definitely there is a “family crisis” here. And lack of parental guidance and peer pressure leads to unacceptable behavior. Plus, certain leaders’ irresponsible firebrand speeches create more hostile environment. Why they do this? Because they have ulterior motives to exploit the situation.

A police officer is not an immortal person, is an average human being. So, what can he/she do when a 250-pound juvenile does not comply with his/her instructions and attempts to grab his/ her gun? Should [he/she] wait to be killed first, like the two police officers in Hyattsville, and then react?

By the way, the youth cop killer “got a slap on the wrist” and probably was sent to a juvenile center for rehabilitation and while there at the taxpayers expense, he received a college degree. And after his release, he went to UDC to study law. But a “cop killer” was enjoying a VIP status, so he needed a lot of money to maintain

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

Barking up the right tree Municipal leaders in northern Prince George’s County are working together to make sure every dog — or cat, guinea pig or other lost pet — has its day.

Berwyn Heights, College Park and Greenbelt officials are hoping a feasibility study will identify a way FEASIBILITY STUDY to better address FOR POSSIBLE animals lost in the NORTH COUNTY northern part of ANIMAL SHELTER Prince George’s, possibly by creatIS STEP IN THE a north county RIGHT DIRECTION ing animal shelter. Currently, there is only one county animal shelter, located a good distance south in Upper Marlboro.

A second county shelter would relieve the load on municipal efforts and be more convenient for residents in northern Prince George’s — so city officials are wisely adding their own money to fund the study.

The three municipalities combined are pitching in a total of $40,000; the county is contributing $200,000.

If the study yields a good plan, it could save Greenbelt — which maintains its own no-kill shelter — hundreds of thousands of dollars. The city shelter, which officials say remains at full capacity, costs more than $200,000 annually to operate.

A second shelter could relieve a lot of headaches for officials, too. To house lost pets, College Park uses a Public Works facility, a site that isn’t accessible to the public.

his extravagant lifestyle, and the answer was to rob banks. And when the police officers were about to apprehend him, he killed himself.

If these concerned leaders will not do anything, a century from now the situation will be worse.

Therefore I am suggesting to AfricanAmerican multi-millionaires to take the initiative and spare the needed money and time and form a committee of unbiased expertise, coming from different cultures and races, and study the problem. They may have to study the issue starting from elementary school and try to inculcate to the youngster to respect the law, plus to learn to resolve their differences through discussions and not fighting. Also, to emphasize education and de-emphasize materialism.

Little Red and the Renegades bring blues, funk, zydeco to Greenbelt n

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Longtime locals Little Red and the Renegades will bring their funky sound to the New Deal Café at 8:30 p.m. Saturday.

The five-member group plays a mix of zydeco, blues and New Orleans funk, with hints of rock ’n’ roll, Cajun and country thrown in. Tom Corradino, “Little Red” himself, takes the lead with vocals, guitar and piano — as well as an instrument less common on regional stages.

“I’ve played the accordion since I was a kid — I was interested in the music, especially anything funky,” he said.

“That’s where I’m at: blues, soul, funk, gospel, all of that kind of stuff is in my wheelhouse.”

Following his time at Syracuse University in New York, Corradino played in several bands; some projects featured current Little Red members, including Bad Medicine, with current bandmate Harry Rado on guitar. Little Red and the Renegades first formed in the early 1980s, and the group has more or less been playing together since, with the exception of some lineup changes and a break in the ’90s.

Playing guitar alongside Rado is his son, Allen Rado; the group is rounded out by Jon Danforth on drums, Carol Arthur — Danforth’s wife — on steel drums and piano, and Dave Petersen on bass. Everyone brings a range of individual influences, but the different backgrounds of the group are united by one objective.

Tom “Little Red” Corradino and the rest of Little Red and the Renegades will perform at New Deal Café on Saturday.

“The rhythm, the beat — whenever we play, even back in the ’60s, the object was for people to dance and have a good time,” Corradino said.

Even after playing in front of audiences for decades, he said he still gets butterflies that last through the first few songs of every set. Once the crowd gets dancing, however, any lingering fear dissipates.

Little Red and the Renegades perform a mix of familiar tunes, lesser-known covers and original material, showcas-

ing a multifaceted sound that doesn’t quite fit in neatly with any one genre the band takes its cues from.

“We do a lot of covers,” Corradino said, “but everything we do pretty much comes out sounding like us. We could do a Rolling Stones song, a Michael Jackson song, and it would still sound like me.”

The band has performed at New Deal Café a handful of times previously, and Corradino said they always have gotten a great response from

audiences there. Attendees hoping to take a bit of Little Red and the Renegades home with them after the show, however, may be disappointed; the band doesn’t record much, and previous recordings are hard to find today.

While getting back in the studio is a goal for the group, juggling the commitments of seven members makes finding the time difficult.

Popular Oregon brewery brings favorites to DMV

1935655

Deschutes Brewery, one of the great breweries of the country and a personal favorite of ours, has finally come to the D.C. area with distribution in the District and Virginia and soon in Maryland. Located in Bend, Ore., a winter skiing and summer hiking destination, Deschutes is named after the nearby Deschutes River and many of its beers are named after regional landmarks. Deschutes is coming to the area as a result of a collaboration on Zarabanda, their new spiced Saison beer, with Chef José Andrés, owner of several area restaurants including the Jaleo restaurants in Bethesda, northern Virginia, and D.C. Deschutes is one of the older craft breweries in the country having opened as a brewpub in 1988 by CEO and founder Gary Fish, expanding into a 50-barrel production microbrewery in 1993. In 1988 the brewery produced a total of 714 barrels of beer. In 2015 they expect to produce 320,000 barrels, making them the sixth largest craft brewer in the country with a potential current capacity of 600,000 barrels. Deschutes is in 28 states and D.C., mostly in the West and Midwest, plus Pennsylvania.

The brewery is the second largest user in the county of whole cone hops rather than pelletized hops and bottle conditions all of its beers. Deschutes makes nine year-round beers including Black Butte Porter, the best selling craft Porter in the country, Mirror Pond

BREWS BROTHERS STEVEN FRANK AND ARNOLD MELTZER Pale Ale, a gold medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival and their largest seller, and Obsidian Stout, the best selling stout in the country and voted the World’s Best Stout at the 2013 World Beer Awards.

Obsidian is the Brews Brothers’ “desert island” beer.

Three seasonal beers include Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale, declared the World’s Best Beer in 2012 at the World Beer Awards, Twilight Summer Ale and Jubelale, a strong holiday brew. Deschutes also brews six interesting IPAs in their Bond Street Series, including two fresh hop ales, and has a Reserve Series which presents bigger, bolder beers such as The Abyss Imperial Stout, Mirror Mirror Barleywine, Not The Stoic Quadruple, and annual anniversary versions of Black Butte Imperial Porter.

The brewery donates $1 for each barrel sold, to national and local charities ranging from assisting children in need to environmental causes. Some of these donations are used by the Deschutes River Conservancy to buy one billion gallons per year of water rights to keep the river flowing. The company is partly employee owned.

The initial beers released in the area in November were Black Butte Porter and Mirror Pond Pale Ale, the two flagship beers, plus Fresh Squeezed IPA, all on draft, and bottles of Mirror Mirror and Black Butte XXVI, their Imperial Porter which changes ingredients each year.

Continued from Page A-8 The Abyss arrived in December and the spring seasonal Red Chair Northwest Pale Ale is expected shortly.

Black Butte Porter (5.2 percent alcohol by volume, ABV) has a delicious aroma of chocolate and roast presaging a medium roast and moderate chocolate front which continues into the middle. The roast ebbs a wisp in the finish with the chocolate dominating and a noticeable touch of bitter hops. The bitter hops grow slightly in the aftertaste and, together with the chocolate, linger. Ratings: 9/9.

Mirror Pond Pale Ale (5.6 percent ABV) has a floral, melon and grapefruit nose. The subdued grapefruit front elevates somewhat in the middle, all nicely balanced by a malt backbone, which remains into the finish. In the aftertaste the moderate grapefruit character comes to the front as the malt fades. Ratings: 7.5/7.5.

Mirror Mirror (11.2 percent ABV) begins with a fruit compote bouquet of raisins, dark fruit and bitter hops. The medium raisin front with hints of plum and prune are joined by a light sweet malt in the middle. The finish adds a note of alcohol which increases in the aftertaste while the fruitiness persists. This beer will improve in complexity with aging. Ratings: 8.5/8.

Zarabanda (6.7 percent ABV) has a lime, yeast, pepper and lemon nose. The modest lemon and lime front melds with a muted peppercorn and restrained yeast in the middle. These flavors continue in the

You look familiar ...

William Shakespeare wrote one of his first plays, “The Comedy of Errors,” to be just that — a comedy of errors.

This is the last weekend to see Laurel Mill Playhouse’s production of the farcical tale of mistaken identity filled with slapstick comedy and word play.

The story revolves around a set of identical twins accidentally separated at birth.

Dromio of Syracuse is the servant to Antipholus. When they arrive in Ephesus, they encounter Antipholus of Ephesus and his servant, Dromio.

You see where there might be some confusion.

What follows is a series of unfortunate events — from arrests, accusations of infidelity (and some interesting seduction), theft, and even demonic possession.

“There are two sets of twins, and they are being mistaken for each other in this town. A lot of it has to do with like, ‘Who are you, exactly?,’”

Dromio (Arrington Foster) comes face to face with his long lost twin, also named Dromio (Kyle Kelley) in Laurel Mill Playhouse’s production of William Shakespeare’s “The Comedy of Errors.” said director Joshua McKerrow. “There’s a reason we’ve being doing these plays for 400 years. A lot of what we know about being human, we

get from Shakespeare. Doing these plays again, finding these characters again … it’s important.”

Tickets for the show are

$20, $15 for children 12 and under and seniors over 65.

The Greenbelt Arts Center presents “Clybourne Park,” a sequel to the 1959 play “A Raisin in the Sun,” which focuses on the perspective of the community rather than the perspective of the family.

The play deals with racial tension and changing community dynamics over the course of 50 years.

According to director Bob Kleinberg, the play is divided into two acts. In the first act, a black family moves into an all-white neighborhood. The second act takes place in the same neighborhood 50 years in the future, but it involves a white family moving into a black neighborhood.

“Clybourne Park” refers to a neighborhood in Chicago and follows the story of two families and one house.

In the first act, middle-class white couple Bev and Russ are selling their home to the Youngers, the family “A Raisin in the Sun” follows.

In act two, the community is all black and experiencing gentrification, and a white couple is trying to buy a house and expand it.

Both families feel pressure from the community to not sell their house or buy into the community.

Tickets for the show are $12 to $20. For more information, visit greenbeltartscenter.org or call 301441-8770.

Finding the right directions

BRENTWOOD ARTS EXCHANGE

The “Unmapped” exhibit is on display at the Brentwood Arts Exchange.

From now until Feb. 28, the Brentwood Arts Exchange will be home to “Unmapped,” a three-person, mixedmedia exhibit.

The exhibition, with works by artists Pat Goslee, Sally Resnik Rockriver and Ellyn Weiss, explores phenomena of the natural world in contrast with fastmoving society.

Each artist uses their work as a method of discovery, responding to forms and materials then building on them to mine for visual possibilities.

Whether it’s finding balance in giving

up control to a chemical reaction, investigating material properties, or the conscious act of constructing energetic movement through paint, all three artists make provocative statements about the ways meaning is created through the interaction of process with form.

Together, their exhibition invites us to open up to things we don’t know, where our paradigms don’t fit, areas unmapped.

An artist talk will take place Saturday. For more information, visit arts. pgparks.com or call 301-277-2863.

Longtime teammates unite at Forestville

Working in sports can be demanding

If there’s one thing I’ve learned during my career in sports journalism, it is that a lot of time and sacrifices will have to be made to my social life.

There have been countless inKENT ZAKOUR stances where I’ve ASSISTANT SPORTS had to decline inviEDITOR tations from friends or family members to hang out in the name of covering a game, conducting an interview or building a newspaper. When they are relaxing at night and on weekends, I am usually working. Their free time is my busy time and vice versa.

But I love my job, so I deal with it.

So, what Bowie State University Sports Information Director Greg Goings has done much of his life is admirable. Not only has the Beltsville resident run the Bulldogs athletic department’s media communications department for more than 10 years, he also has moonlighted for 28 years as a college, high school and intramural basketball referee.

Those are two time consuming and often thankless jobs. Goings is, for the most part, a one-man show who attends the vast majority of every Bowie State sporting event to record statistics, write a game recap and provide media assistance. As for officiating, who wants to spend their free time getting yelled at by coaches, players and fans?

But Goings, 55, says he wouldn’t want it any other way.

“I call it my therapy and it keeps me in shape,” he said. “Officiating is fun to me. I’ll never sacrifice my mortgage-paying job [for officiating assignments]. I’ve been fortunate and blessed to work for athletic directors that understand and allow me to ref.”

Goings didn’t start out wanting to be a SID. He attended Virginia State University, where he initially studied accounting, but said he quickly realized it wasn’t for him.

He ended up earning a degree in food marketing and food management and accepted an offer to work in Pizza Hut’s management program after graduating in 1984, but never started. As a student, he worked in the sports information office, and that’s where Goings got what he called ‘a bug’ for sports media.

“The SID at the time thought I had pretty handwriting,” said Goings, who took stats for the men’s basketball team.

“That was before computers where we had to take stats by hand. … I kind of fell into sports information.”

Throughout his adult life, Goings, who graduated from Washington, D.C.’s McKinley Tech High School in 1977, has juggled his work commitments with family life. He says his wife, Donna Powell-Goings, is ‘very understanding’ along with his daughter, Shannen, 23, a freshman at Bowie State.

“Donna’s favorite line is, ‘You are never home!’” Goings said. “I really understand and am really appreciative of her and Shannen’s support … because between November and March I could be doing something for Bowie State or officiating four or five nights a week. But it is what I like to do. It keeps my sanity.”

In addition to previously being the SID at Virginia State University, Goings has held a wide variety of jobs in between stints in sports media, including a management job at Arby’s, a sales position at Chevy Chase Bank and as an on-air radio personality.

Goings left the sports information industry in the early 2000s, planning to never return.

“I left Virginia State in September 2000 because I was burned out, I had enough,” said Goings, who also owns his own statkeeping company. “I came back up here and did absolutely nothing for 10 months.

My wife eventually said, ‘Listen, you need to get a job.’

“I had no intention of getting back in sports [with Bowie State]. … It wasn’t about the money because I had to have peace of mind. But my wife told me, ‘You get to kick out sports information.’ She was right.”

Goings admits he is on the downside of his officiating and professional careers.

“I feel like I can still do it for another 15 or 20 years, but my legs are saying something else,” he said. “I am happy where I am. … I want to work for another few years to help pay for my daughter’s education, then I want to go ride off into the sunset with my wife.” kzakour@gazette.net

At 27-years old, Cameron Knox isn’t a typical college senior.

Known as “Grandpa” amongst his Bowie State University men’s basketball teammates since he’s at least five years older than most of the roster, the Baltimore native’s journey to become a father, a scholarship player and the Bulldogs starting point guard and leading scorer has been long and circuitous journey.

“Statistics say Cam should be

dead or in jail,” Bowie State coach Darrell Brooks said. “He’s turned his life around and beat the odds — nothing has been easy for him. He’s worked and grinded his way and we are all really, really proud of him.”

‘Getting arrested is ... like a stepping stone’ Knox grew up in the heart of Baltimore City and said when he was 14 or 15, he started down a path of crime. One day, Knox said, a friend proposed to break into a relative’s house and steal electronics. They robbed his friend’s aunt’s house, Knox said, and got arrested.

The aunt, Knox said, didn’t press charges and the record of his arrest

has since been expunged since he was a minor at the time.

As the years passed, Knox, who said he has friends who are in jail, became involved in all sorts of illegal activity, he said, including selling drugs.

“Getting arrested is almost like a stepping stone from where I grew up ... I had to have a way to eat and make money,” Knox said during an interview Tuesday at AC Jordan Arena on the Bowie State campus.

“I wasn’t thinking and I’ve done a lot of dumb things I am not proud of, but looking back, I don’t regret any of it because it has made me become a better person.”

Tolu Omokore may not be the best player on the Eleanor Roosevelt High School girls basketball team — that title goes to Kaila Charles, coach Delton Fuller said.

But Omokore, a 6-foot-0 senior forward, is “definitely the heart and soul,” according to Fuller.

On Jan. 13, after she landed awkwardly on her left leg and fell to the floor, the Raiders lost their leader for the rest of the season.

Omokore, a University of Central Florida recruit, suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will have to watch the Greenbelt school try to defend its 4A state title as a spectator.

“It’s really, really, really tough.

I just want to suit up and play but I can’t,” Omokore said.

Omokore said she’ll be out about six to nine months, and she may have to complete her rehab after she arrives at the Orlando school. Omokore said that Central Florida coaches and teammates reached out to her following the injury, sending their support.

As for the Raiders (11-1), they’ll have to move on without their top rebounder.

With Omokore out, Fuller said sophomore Alia Parker and senior Alannah Baiyina could see increased minutes, while sophomore center Jaala Henry will

Seniors recovering from injuries n

Weeks later, Taleah (Noo) Washington can still remember the play. It was during a mid-January practice at the Forestville High School gymnasium, and the Knights were running a fastbreak drill. The ball traveled from player to player — Marche Sisco to Kristin Horne to Carrie Gross and then to Noo Washington. Then, without even looking, the freshman guard sent a pass back to Gross, who finished off the nearly dribble-free possession with a layup.

Noo Washington is just a freshman. So is Gross. Horne is a sophomore and Sisco is a junior transfer from Friendly. But the Knights’ top four scorers, though new to the Forestville girls basketball team, are hardly new to each other. The quartet grew up playing together on the Havoc City Elite Amateur Athletic Union program, run by Knights second-year coach James Washington — Noo Washington’s father — and has united as varsity teammates. Their combination of talent and chemistry has helped Forestville start the season 10-3 and become a top Prince George’s County team.

“Our connection is very [strong] when we play. We just know each other like the back of our hands,” Noo Washington said. “... It’s just so easy and fun to play with people that you connect with.”

“We can’t have another whole Tolu but if everybody chips in we can have a partial Tolu,” Fuller said.

Roosevelt is scheduled to play Friday and Saturday in The Mecca — a tournament held in New York featuring the nation’s top teams — and has about a month until the postseason.

“We’re planning one winning it for Tolu,” Fuller said.

Trevor Brown was expected to be cleared this week and could return by the end of the season, coach Rob Garner told The Gazette on Monday. Brown, a James Madison University football recruit, suffered a partial tear in his anterior cruciate ligament over the summer. The 6-6 forward played a key role on last year’s 4A state championship team. The Pumas are 8-6 through Wednesday.

“If we get Trevor Brown back for one day, for any day, he’s going to make us a better team,” Garner said. egoldwein@gazette.net

Shoulder injuries can be career-threatening for swimmers, where upper body strength is quite vital. But current Bowie High School sophomore DeAngela Fobbs didn’t let nagging shoulder pain drag her down during a breakout freshman campaign a year ago. In fact, she was the only freshman girl to win an event at the Prince George’s County and Class 4A/3A Region championships last winter and one of only three multiple individual race victors — she was tied atop the individual scoring list at both.

While a sore shoulder might prevent Fobbs from putting her true versatility on display — she sticks to mostly sprint freestyle and backstroke, Bowie coach Maggie Fletcher said — she remains a top contender heading into the upcoming county and region competitions, scheduled for Feb. 7 and Feb. 14, respectively. “[Fobbs] just works really hard,” Fletcher said. “But as a swimmer, she’s also very interested in the team rather than

‘Greatest high school basketball game ever’ turns 50 Friday is the anniversary of Lew Alcindor’s only prep loss, to DeMatha BY

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

On a winter night in 1964, DeMatha Catholic High School junior Bob Whitmore sat in a dining room next to his teammates as a priest made his way into the room for a pre-meal convocation. The Stags basketball team had convened with the members of Power Memorial Academy, an all-boys Catholic school from New York City, the night before they were set to square off at the University of Maryland’s Cole Field House.

Legendary DeMatha coach Morgan Wootten had heard from the father of Edward ‘Monk’ Malloy — a great player at Archbishop Carroll (D.C.) and the eventual president of the University of Notre Dame — that Power had, as Wootten remembers, “a phenomenal, young, really really tall player [that] might be one of the greatest players to live.”

The phenom was a lanky 7-foot-2 junior by the name of Lew Alcindor, who is now more commonly known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar — the NBA’s alltime leading scorer.

Alcindor was Whitmore’s matchup the following evening.

As the players rose to acknowledge the priest, DeMatha freshman Sid Catlett elbowed his 6-foot-7 teammate, gawking across the room as Alcindor’s 86-inch frame unraveled towards the

“I looked over and the guy kept going up up up up up,” Whitmore said.

“As he was going up, my heart was going down.”

The next night, Whitmore reached the foul limit and had to watch the final 90 seconds of the game from the bench, as Alcindor’s 36 points and 20-plus rebounds lifted Power to a 65-62 victory.

But the game had caused such a stir —

it was the first time Cole had ever been sold out — that Wootten and Power coach Jack Donohue agreed to meet again the following season. Alcindor would be returning, as would the core of DeMatha’s team.

Friday evening at the Hyattsville school, members of that 1964-65 team will gather to celebrate the 50th anniversary of that rematch — a game some call the greatest high school basketball

game ever played — a 46-43 DeMatha win on Jan. 30, 1965.

The loss, which broke Power’s 71game win streak was Alcindor’s first as a varsity player at the school, where he accumulated a 116-1 record. Alcindor went on to star at UCLA and became a No. 1 draft pick in the NBA where he amassed 38,387 points in 20 seasons.

DeMatha’s win, as Whitmore remembered, gave Washington D.C. basketball some credibility.

“Before that, it was Philadelphia and certainly New York,” Whitmore said. “When we beat [Power] everybody knew that hey, there’s no doubt Washington D.C. is on the map now.”

As Wootten recalls, Time Magazine, Newsweek and The New York Times were all on hand to cover the 1965 bout; a game that the legendary coach said changed the national coverage of the high school game.

“All of the sudden, high school basketball, instead of being isolated in these cities and everyone did their own thing, all of the sudden people became aware of where the great teams were and where the great players were,” Wootten said. “Everybody started ranking the teams nationally. It was a great takeoff for high school basketball.”

In the teams’ first meeting in 1964, Wootten approached the game with the plan of shutting down Alcindor’s four courtmates, while allowing the occasional help defense on Power’s center.

Because, as Wootten put it, “one guy shouldn’t be able to beat us.”

“But he did beat us,” Wootten said, laughing.

In 1965, the Stags had a different

tion has been years, if not decades in the making.

James Washington is a Forestville alumnus (1996) who played on the school’s last basketball state championship team in 1995. He returned to his alma mater, and beginning in 2007, he worked for six seasons as an assistant on the boys team, he said. It was during that time that he began coaching his daughter on the Future Players team, before launching Havoc City, the source of Forestville’s top talent.

James Washington spent a season as a girls basketball assistant at Bishop McNamara, before going back to Forestville — where his wife works — to lead the girls team.

“Once I started, I said, ‘I don’t want to coach boys anymore,’” James Washington said. “... I started coaching the girls, and I fell in love with it.”

Sisco, of Fort Washington, grew up playing basketball at the Forestville gymnasium, first with the Forestville Boys & Girls Club

and then with Future Players and Havoc City. She transferred from Friendly since Forestville “is like a second home,” she said.

Horne came to Forestville as a freshman last season, after starting the year at Eleanor Roosevelt in Greenbelt.

Gross and Noo Washington, who attended Holy Family in Hillcrest Heights, arrived at Forestville as freshmen.

Sisco said that playing for Havoc City, and routinely competing against older opponents,

has helped the Knights overcome the age barrier. The Knights haven’tlosttoacountyopponent since their season opener against Largo, which they are scheduled to host Thursday. The Knights girls, who lost in last season’s 1A North Region final, are trying to reach their first state semifinal since 1985.

winter were two freshmen — Fobbs and Madelyn Turrell — and they were followed by sophomores Angela Barzanti and Danella Gilligan. The Bulldog boys’ top scorer a year ago was current sophomore Jon Bendana, who was one of only two freshmen winners at counties. Three of the top 4 scorers were freshmen.

The Bulldogs’ crop of young talent is actually growing countywide trend. Fobbs, Bendana and company are part of a new generation of young swimmers popping up in areas that haven’t always been considered powerhouses. And what this more diverse group does is detract scoring from the

team the entire county is chasing: Roosevelt.

While the Raiders still appear to be a good bit ahead of the rest of the field, they’re advantage has continued to dwindle in recent years. While swimmers countywide remain respectful of Roosevelt’s hold on county swimming, the Raiders no longer seem completely unwavering in their dominance. And that could make for quite the interesting county championship.

“I think eventually it’s going to happen [that someone beats Roosevelt],” Laurel coach John Venit said. “I see that swimming is growing in the county.

There are better swimmers

spread throughout the county and [teams] have been getting closer and closer.”

Favorites: Roosevelt might not win most races like it tended to five or six years ago, but as one of the largest and deepest teams — with a few superstar quality athletes — the Raiders certainly won’t be starving for points.

Contenders: This is an evergrowing list that is topped by Bowie, Flowers and Laurel. The postseason format — teams are permitted only two entries per event rather than the three during dual-meet season — helps teams with top-notch talent that can’t match Roosevelt’s depth.

Darkhorses: Size can become teams’ major obstacle.

Basically the rest of the county teams have been rotating through the No. 5 through No. 10 spots in recent years. High Point, Douglass, Wise and Friendly have been among the most consistent.

“The [growing depth of county swimming] has made it more fun, even for me as a coach,” Fletcher said. “It’s not just watching Roosevelt and Flowers. It’s where in the county are these [top] swimmers coming from and what can they do?”

approach. Every time Alcindor caught the ball on the block, the off forward — usually Bernie Williams or Catlett — would rush over to help Whitmore. But what made DeMatha’s second effort so effective was their ability to deter those interior passes.

“I always would try to beat him to a spot both on the left and right side — he always placed himself there all the time in both years,” Whitmore said. “If I didn’t, I had certain moves I made to get in front of him.”

DeMatha’s guards, including 6-foot-1 Ernie Austin and 5-foot-11 senior Mickey Wiles, were tasked with pressuring the Power ballhandlers towards the sideline, effectively limiting the entry pass angle into Alcindor.

When it was all said and done, Alcindor finished with 16 points — the lowest total of his high school career, according to Wootten.

Of the five players that Wootten used in the legendary win, all went on to achieve great success in basketball as each continued their career at a major Division I program.

And for retired coach, now 83, the chance to get together Friday evening and reminisce with members of the historic win will be another special, everlasting memory in a legendary career that saw 1,274 wins in 46 years at DeMatha.

“There’s an old saying that life is a collection of memories,” Wootten said.

“And this certainly is one of the great memories for all of us.” agutekunst@gazette.net

KNOX

Continued from Page B-1

‘He kept coming back’ Knox was introduced to Brooks and the Bowie State program years after he finished high school. Former Bulldog and childhood friend, Byron Westmorland, invited Knox, who credits his friend’s family for taking him in, to a pick-up game one evening at Bowie State.

“From the basketball side of it, when I first saw him play, I loved his ability to defend and pressure the ball,” Brooks said.

“I thought he could come in an help us there, but if you told me he would be leading the league in scoring right now, I don’t know.”

In 2010, four years after graduating from Northern High School — it has since been renamed W.E.B. DuBois — Knox, who has a young daughter named Camryn, was a student again and a walk-on for a college basketball program.

“I made sure I was eligible during high school basketball season,” Knox said. “But school wasn’t for me back then. ... I tried to play ball in college, but I lost touch [with coaches] after graduation and gave up on school.”

In his first few years at Bowie State, Knox struggled. The NCAA Clearinghouse ruled him ineligible as a freshman, and as a sophomore, Knox said, he struggled in the classroom. Over the past two seasons, Knox has improved his grades as a communications major — he wants to work in public relations and is on track to graduate in December — and his skills on the basketball court.

“When I first got [to Bowie State] I was a raw street-ball kid ... I thought about quitting or transferring all the time,” Knox said. “But coach kept on me and he’s the reason I kept coming back. [Brooks] genuinely cares about me and I look at him more like a father than a coach. He saved my life.”

Knox said he is proud of what he has accomplished on and off the court, but is still working on improving. From a basketball standpoint, he has led the Bulldogs to a 16-5 record atop the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association’s Northern Division (as of Tuesday) while averaging 17.3 points, 2.0 assists and 3.1 rebounds per contest.

“I came in a boy and have become a man,” Knox said. “A lot of my friends are locked up in jail or dead or whatever. I’m from Northeast Baltimore City.

To break off of that and become what I am today, I am still in disbelief sometimes. I feel like a millionaire since I am going to have an opportunity to help my family and daughter.” kzakour@gazette.net

The win was also the 600th career victory for veteran coach Lou Wilson, who is now in his 29th season patrolling the sideline. Wilson spent time at Largo High School and at Frederick Douglass before coming to the Upper Marlboro school. The Crusaders are still very much in the mix of things in a hectic CBAA conference this year, but the achievement gave the longtime coach a minute to reflect on his storied career.

“It was an awesome feeling to get that milestone behind me,” Wilson said via text message. “It was [an] honor to get so many wins and a blessing to be able to help so many young men along the way.”

Riverdale Baptist coach Lou Wilson recently won his 600th game.

Northwestern point guard returns The Northwestern High School team got quite a scare on Jan. 20 when electric senior point guard Mike White tumbled face-first into the ground after attempting a contested layup against Suitland.

White was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with a slight concussion and received five stitches in his forehead. The Wildcats still managed to hold on for

a 69-62 road victory and planned to play without White in a contest three days later against Bladensburg High School — a game that ended up being postponed.

White was set to return for Tuesday’s game against Eleanor Roosevelt, but that too was postponed by the inclement weather.

“I am very anxious,” White said.

“It feels like forever, but I am perfectly fine now.”

KEEPING IT BRIEF Surrattsville football coach resigns After seven seasons, Robert Harris Jr. has resigned as the football coach at Surrattsville High School.

Harris said he’ll be moving on to coach at the school he graduated from, Archbishop Carroll in Washington, D.C., because of its convenience for his family.

“It puts me closer into the D.C. area,” Harris said. “Having a younger son that was trying to do stuff in the youth leagues and all of that, it was kind of a strain on my family. ... So it kind of brings everything a little closer for the family.”

Harris led the Hornets to a 37-41 record in his seven seasons. Last season, Surrattsville went 8-5 and won a second consecutive 1A North Region championship before being eliminated by state champion Fort Hill. In 2013, the team went 10-3.

“It’s definitely a bond there [at Surrattsville] that I built,” Harris said. “Definitely coached some great kids and worked with some great people over there. So it was not easy just to leave it that fast, but I had to look at the overall picture and consider my family first.”

Next season, in Harris’

second scheduled game with Carroll, the team is set to play Surrattsville.

Laurel teen wins national speedskating title With first-place finishes in three of four events he contested at the 2015 U.S. Short Track Speedskating Junior Championships in Salt Lake City over the weekend, Laurel resident Thomas Hong earned the title of national champion. Hong, who finished 11th at the 2014 Olympic Trials, won the 500-, 1,000- and 1,500-meter events en route to his 1,628.00 total points; runner-up Aaron Tran finished with 1,222.50.

The top 4 finishers in Salt Lake City earned a spot on the Junior World team scheduled to compete at the Junior World Championships in Osaka, Japan March 7-9.

Hong, who represents Potomac Speedskating and is a 2018 Olympic hopeful, has been a member of the team since 2012.

DeMatha underclassmen garnering national attention It may seem like just another year of success for DeMatha’s basketball team, as it sits at 18-1 atop the ultra-competitive WCAC and has staked its claim as the area and state’s best team yet

again. But the Stags have founded their success this season largely on the shoulders of an ultra talented sophomore-junior duo of D.J. Harvey and Markelle Fultz.

Harvey, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard, is averaging 12.4 points per game and is rated as Maryland’s top player in the Class of 2017 by numerous recruiting sites, including ESPN. Fultz, a 6-foot-5 guard has led the team with 15.9 points per game and is rated as the state’s top player in the Class of 2016 by ESPN. The duo shares offers from University of Arizona, Georgetown University, North Carolina State University and Oklahoma State University, among others.

Bennett made the announcement on Jan. 25.

Winning six of seven was good news for the DuVal High School girls basketball team. But for the Tigers, getting healthy and bringing senior Crystal Nzenwa back into the lineup might be even better.

GIRLS BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

BY ERIC GOLDWEIN Nzenwa, a senior, emerged as a team leader last season at the Lanham school, averaging 12.3 points until a shoulder injury derailed her 2013-14 campaign. She began this season on the sidelines, dealing with a shoulder injury, but returned against Oxon Hill on Jan. 9 and the Tigers have gone 4-1 since her arrival.

Her scoring is down (5.6 points) and she’s been hesitant at times, but coach Gregory Jennings said, “she’s coming along pretty good.”

Gwynn Park getting there The Gwynn Park High School girls basketball team doesn’t have the experience it had last season, when it shared a 3A/2A/1A League championship with Largo. With its leading scorer, freshman Tania Hill, going down with a stress fracture, it might not have the talent either. But at 8-5, the No. 8 Yellow Jackets have remained one of the county’s top teams, even without Hill, who went down on Jan. 13. On Jan. 20, the Brandywine school hung around with No. 3 Largo and lost 49-43, with junior guard Chantelle Gross adding 13 points and 13 rebounds.

Gross had transferred to Riverdale Baptist and started the
