owie pianist Owen Adams has been using his musical talent to help his community since his feet could barely touch the piano pedals.

“He was about as tall as the stand-up piano he was playing,” said Mary Nusser, outreach coordinator for the Bowie Center for Performing Arts, who remembers Adams playing at a fundraiser for the new center around 10 years ago. “People were in awe of this little guy, and now as an adult, people still are.”

After years of participating in benefits for the Bowie Performing Arts Center, Bowie High School and natural disaster relief efforts, the 24-year-old Adams is opening his own recording studio in Bowie where he will teach piano lessons and produce music.

Adams said he sees the Owen Adams Music Studio as type of community outreach and a place where teenagers and young adults will feel welcome and inspired to create music.

“I want to use [music] to enrich the youth especially. It gives the kids a release and outlet and an unplugged moment,” he said. “People get so caught up in drama, especially the young kids in elementary and middle school with internet bullying and [physical] bullying.

I think when they have a way to express themselves, it can only help them.”

The four-room studio on LaurelBowie Road includes a recording room, a production room and sound-proofed room for piano lessons, and will be open for business in early October, Adams said.

Adams said he financed the studio privately through a corporation he formed with his mother, Toni Adams.

A classically trained pianist, Owens said he has played with several bands in the Bowie area — including blues, jazz and gospel bands — and has taught lessons both privately and at local schools.

His grandfather, Vincent DePaula, was a

In the aftermath of a parking lot fight that left a Bowie man dead, residents and officials are revisiting concerns about loitering around the Belair Swim and Racquet Club.

Around 5 p.m. Sept. 29, Bowie High School parent Mitchell White, 39, tried to intervene in a fight between his son and another individual outside the swim club, according to Prince George’s County

police. White was killed during the altercation and police believe Deon Eugene Warren, 19, of Upper Marlboro shot him, although they do not think Warren was involved in the original dispute.

Warren was arrested Oct. 2 and is being held on a no-bond status, according to county police. No attorney was listed for Warren as of Wednesday, according to online court records.

Bowie Police Chief John Nesky said the swim club parking lot, which is located between Bowie High School and several residential areas, is a common place for teenagers to gather af-

She said the studio space will be especially helpful for high school students trying to create demo CDs for college applications or auditions.

“There’s nothing in the community for students who want to pursue a music

career,” she said. “As a mother, I had to listen through three floors of take after take after take [when my son’s band practiced] and I can’t be the only parent that feels that way. So this can provide a rehearsal space. It can provide a professional atmosphere.”

Upper Marlboro commuters say a popular Prince George’s County bus route needs to run more often and more reliably, despite a recent switch to the route’s schedule.

The Bus Route 21, which carries passengers from the New Carrollton Metro Station to Upper Marlboro, is the second

highest ridership route in the county, said Carol Terry, spokeswoman for the Department of Public Works and Transportation.

Terry said the schedule was re-evaluated last year after riders complained about 30-minute delays.

“Buses might get late to one stop, which then makes them late to another stop and that delay keeps cascading, getting further and further behind on consecutive trips,” Terry said.

In January, the department

A Bowie wrestling fan who was selected to meet WWE superstar John Cena Monday is no stranger to leaving it all on the mat.

At 13-years-old, Josh Whaley has undergone more than a dozen surgeries — including brain surgeries that have left a visible zig-zag scar across the middle of his skull.

Suffering from a genetic con-

dition known as Crouzon Syndrome, Josh has experienced developmental delays, hearing loss and impaired motor skills, but he still keeps fighting, said his mother, Anjolene SmackWhaley.

Josh was selected by Florida-based Kids Wish Network to receive an all-inclusive trip to New York City to meet World Wrestling Entertainment star John Cena and watch a WWE Monday Night RAW wrestling event, said KWN spokeswoman Sarah DuPree.

Josh was one of around 200 children who had their wishes

‘Ferguson isn’t so far away from us’ n Springdale forum centered around racial disparities, police BY

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

Sixteen-year-old Juwan Blocker’s voice cracked with emotion as he stood before a crowd of community members and delivered a poem he wrote after an elementary school student was beaten unconscious by classmates at Thomas Claggett Elementary School in District Heights.

Blocker of Landover Hills performed as an introduction to a community forum on discrimination and police encounters called “Moving Beyond Ferguson: Know Your Rights” held at Charles H. Flowers High School in Springdale on Oct. 2.

“I have experienced [discrimination] and have had friends experience it, so as far as the emotion of the poem, its just natural,” Blocker said.

The forum was organized

by Walakewon Blegay of Kettering, an attorney who serves on the board of the American Civil Liberties Union of Maryland.

Blegay invited panelists from the ACLU, NAACP and other legal and law enforcement experts to discuss topics like racial profiling, Miranda rights and what to do if questioned by a police officer.

“The purpose of the event is really to engage the community in conversations about police brutality, really just knowing your rights when approached by the police,” Blegay said. “We feel that Ferguson isn’t so far away from us. Things could happen

KIRSTEN PETERSEN STAFF WRITER

Kane Bailey, a senior at Suitland High School, said he has only felt truly amazing three times in his life.

The first, when he tried out for his high school’s dance team two years ago; the second, when he taught choreography during this year’s auditions; and the third, when he freestyled with hip hop dance duo Les Twins on Monday, he said.

“I was really nervous because I had two of my role models beside me,” Bailey, 17, of Upper Marlboro said. “It was an amazing feeling.”

Laurent and Larry Bourgeois, Parisian identical twins who were back-up dancers for R&B singer Beyoncé, encouraged performing arts students to explore their own originality and continue to grow creatively during an assembly Monday afternoon at Suitland High School in Forestville.

Maria Saldana, the coordinator of the high school’s Center for Visual and Performing Arts, said she was impressed with Les Twin’s musicality and invited them to travel from Paris to speak at the school, where approximately 400 students from around the county study dance, music, theater, TV production and visual art. Les Twins was in the area for a dance workshop in Washington, D.C. “I wanted my students, regardless of their major, to see what it looks like to love something so much they want to do it 24 hours a day,” Saldana said.

The identities of the assembly’s guests were kept under wraps until Les Twins ran down the aisle of the Annabelle Ferguson Auditorium, Saldana said.

Students from Suitland, Northwestern High School in Hyattsville and Benjamin Foulois Creative and Performing Arts Academy in Suitland leapt from their seats, screamed and whipped out their cell phones to snap photos of the brothers.

“That was just a beautiful beginning,” Larry Bourgeois said. “I didn’t expect to see that much love.”

Les Twins spoke about teaching themselves to dance and being their own inspiration, demonstrating their skill with two brief improvisations. The brothers then invited three students to perform with them on stage at the end of assembly.

Bailey, who was on stage crew during the event, joined Les Twins for the final dance.

He said he spoke with Laurent Bourgeois afterwards and shared how amazing he felt in that moment.

Laurent Bourgeois said that feeling shouldn’t end when the music stops.

“That’s how it should feel every day,” Laurent Bourgeois said. “You dance, it’s a story.”

Bailey, who also participated in a workshop with Les Twins on Sunday, said this conversation was worth more than any souvenir from the show.

“Being on stage and standing next to them, it’s kind of indescribable,” Bailey said. “To talk to them and get advice from them means so much more to me than getting an autograph or picture.”

Aja Starkey, 17, of Fort Washington said she was shocked to see Les Twins at her school. As a dance major at Suitland, she said she is inspired by the duo’s originality.

“This experience has been shocking, breathtaking, inspiring, just to be in the same room as professional dancers,” Starkey said. “It’s really been a blessing.”

Bailey said he hopes to study theater and dance at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York after he graduates next spring. He said Les Twins would continue to inspire him as he prepares for life after high school.

“They have a lot of wisdom in dancing and I want to learn everything I can,” Bailey said.

In August, a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., shot an killed an unarmed teenager, sparking protests and a grand jury investigation.

“As an attorney I know my rights, but I find many of my friends who are professionals don’t know what they should do, when they should do it,” Blegay said.

Vernetta Christian, Flowers’ resident principal, said school officials were eager to host the forum and hope to participate in future events.

“We wanted to create an opportunity for a community forum, a discussion about the topic, and make sure it took on a very balanced perspective,” Christian said. “We would like for this to be an ongoing discussion, not just about what happened in Ferguson. What we would really like to do is make sure our young people understand that, not only do they have rights, but they have responsibilities as citizens.”

This will be the first time the state of Maryland has participated in a Purple Light Nights initiative, Taylor said.

“This will be our way of saying there is no place for domestic violence in our community,” Taylor said.

A lighting ceremony will take place tonight from 7 to 7:30 p.m. outside the courthouse, Taylor said.

Residents can pick up information about domestic violence prevention as well as free purple light bulbs they can swap for their current porch light.

Michael Gonnella, Upper Marlboro police chief, said the town is working with downtown business owners to encourage them to install purple lights as well.

tions when confronted by a law enforcement officer.

Lewis said he was once detained by police officers who accused him of stealing his own car after Lewis reported it stolen and later found it was merely towed.

“They didn’t let me explain,” he said. “I didn’t feel like I was being treated fairly.”

Lewis said a practical tip he learned at the forum was to stay silent and wait for an appropriate time to ask “am I free to go?”

Blocker was one of only a handful of students in attendance at the forum and said that some of his peers no longer want to engage in discussion about Ferguson or encounters with law enforcement.

“I feel we try to escape our own reality because it’s so harsh,” he said. “Just by being at this meeting and talking about an incident such as Ferguson, it’s just very hurtful and it brings back so much pain and anger.”

Bowie man has app for hobbyists Suitland community honors n

Website will help users pursue passions

BY

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

The designer of the world’s next Facebook-like social media experience could be living right in Bowie.

Steven Allamby, a former financial advisor, has spent the last year preparing to launch HobBee Pro, a website and smartphone application that he says combines the best traits from popular websites like Pinterest, Amazon and Google Plus.

The most distinguishing feature of the new platform is that HobBee Pro filters information from the internet and other social media sites according to the user’s interests.

“After you stop working, do you get a chance to enjoy what you love doing? Most people don’t do that,” he said. “I’m trying to implement something that will be fun for you, easy to do and will put your interests in front.”

Allamby, 35, said HobBee Pro isn’t meant to replace other

1935267

social media sites, merely to aggregate and organize information in a more intuitive way.

“Other social media sites have some similarities, but there’s something a little different in all of them. [HobBee Pro] incorporates multiple aspects,” he said. “It’s just another way of putting information together to make it user-friendly and applicable to the people who really know their interests.”

When registering for a free account on HobBee Pro, users will select their top interests and hobbies, and an algorithm will collect online data like upcoming events, how-to tips, photos and videos, Allamby said. HobBee Pro will also pull hobbyspecific content from the user’s existing social media accounts and filter out non-relevant information, Allamby said.

Allamby said he is planning to go live with HobBee Pro by fall of 2015, and said 3,000 users have already pre-registered for accounts that will become active once the site launches next year.

Allamby said he is currently soliciting investors to back his approximate $1 million project and networking with lo-

Rob Whetzel of Bowie owns Raw Data information technology company and is partnering with Allamby to provide the back-end development of the site, he said. Whetzel, who said the two met through the Bowie Business Innovation Center, said he immediately saw the potential in Allamby’s design and believes it could become one of the major social networking platforms.

“I believe in what he’s doing,” Whetzel said. “His approach, his thought process makes it different than Facebook [or other sites]. It has its own unique flair.”

The Bowie BIC partners with small businesses in the Bowiearea and offers them resources and rental office space. Lisa Smith, the center’s executive director, said Allamby and Whetzel’s partnership reflects the growth of Bowie and its small business community.

“HobbeePro not only teamed with Bowie BIC client Raw Data to provide software and technical development support, but HobbeePro also invited a group of Bowie BIC clients to review an early version of its social media site,” she said. “HobBee Pro illustrates the way that the tech community in greater Bowie is growing and Bowie BIC is fostering this technology community.” eshaughnessy@gazette.net

Willie Wimbush said he was a “menace” as a child growing up in Suitland, but when Reginald “Reggie” Harrod pulled him off the streets and invited him to his recording studio, he said everything changed.

“He was like a father, a brother, an uncle, all of those things,” Wimbush said. “To this day he still is.”

Nearly 40 years later, Harrod was recognized Saturday as a community empowerment pioneer during the 16th annual Suitlandfest.

“I’m shocked today for this small reception,” Harrod, 64, of Suitland said. “I just love this presentation because I never expected it.”

Harrod volunteered with the Suitland Crime Action Committee, led the Suitland Recreation Council and was a founder of Suitlandfest, an annual gathering with food, music and vendors at the Suitland Community Center.

But colleagues and recording artists agree that Harrod made his greatest impact in his own basement, which was retrofitted with professional recording equipment.

Harrod, who has 40 years of experience in social work, said he started the studio 30 years ago because he wanted to give hope to young people in the community.

“It was my way to reach out to the youth in the city,” Harrod said. “I knew it was a convenient way for the musically-inclined, to get into the studio.”

Wimbush said when it was at its height, the studio was a 24-hour operation — 50 young artists between the ages of 12 and 20 could be in the house at one time.

Reginald “Reggie” Harrod, 64, of Suitland accepts the first Community Empowerment Pioneer Award from Suitlandfest president Willie Wimbush on Saturday. Harrod opened his home to troubled youth in the community so they could learn to compose and perform music.

Some artists would eat and sleep at the house, often because they did not have a stable home life, Wimbush said.

Marlon Williams, 44, of Upper Marlboro said he learned to play the conga drums when he first came to the studio. He called the studio a “second home” where he could seek advice from Harrod.

“We were all close-knit like brothers,” Williams said. “It was just a place to go hang out because of the love he had for everyone.”

Pamela Heckstall of Temple Hills, a member of the Suitlandfest board of directors, said Harrod always encouraged young artists to take what they learned and market themselves as entrepreneurs.

“Reggie was always trying to instill in the young guys [the idea of] creating their own business, their own wealth, not just waiting for a handout,” Heckstall said.

After Harrod suffered a stroke in January, his family and colleagues decided to close the studio so Harrod could recover at home without the obligation of running the studio.

Wimbush said Suitlandfest organizers plan to restore the home to its original condition.

Debra Brooks of Temple Hills, also a board member, said she will be writing grants to fund a new location for the studio.

Brooks said the studio needs to reopen because young men and women depend on it as an escape from violence and a space for healing, fellowship and mentorship.

“We don’t want them to go back to some of the things they were doing. We know where these young men are coming from,” Brooks said. kpetersen@gazette.net

Police, military clash in county’s annual Iron Team Competition

Fort Washington resident creates analogy-based children’s game Decades-long effort intended to help children make comparisons n

BY

KIRSTEN PETERSEN STAFF WRITER

Grass is to green as sky is to blue — a basic analogy Doris McNeely Johnson of Fort Washington said children would have no problem making and understanding and she hopes to aid in the process with her own board game.

After coming up with the idea in 2005, Johnson, a psychology professor at the University of the District of Columbia, finished creating a “Farmer Brown’s Analogy Game” earlier this year to help children create analogies and prove analogical reasoning is not a skill too advanced for children.

The game encourages children to practice analogical reasoning — finding similarities between sets of objects that appear different — by matching animal family cards, such as mares, foals, hens and chicks.

“The game is based on relationships that little kids three years old and above know,” Johnson said.

Johnson said analogical reasoning helps children learn about math, metaphors, word forms and spatial relationships. On their own, children use analogies as a tool to “organize their world,” Johnson said.

“They really come here hard-wired to think analogically, just like they come here to speak,” Johnson said. “This is the way children learn about their world. If we can start teaching them where they are, we can bring them so much further along.”

With 45 father, mother and child cards, children can learn the names of animals, practice memorization, and ultimately apply their knowledge to creating up to 500 analogies, Johnson said.

“Children like games and this is something parents can do with them and do by themselves,” Johnson said. “The games are good because you can introduce something serious in playful mode.”

Johnson said she plans to take a sabbatical next year to get the word out about her game and create analogical reasoning curriculum materials for preschoolers.

Johnson said she was inspired to create the game after

Thursday, October 9, 2014 bo

more than 25 years of studying analogical reasoning in children.

“It doesn’t do much to do the research if you don’t put it out there so people can get it.

That’s why I decided to do the game,” she said.

Liv Thulin, a former research assistant for Johnson, said working with kindergartners affirmed her belief that they were fully capable of creating analogies.

“It was so much fun because they loved it,” Thulin said. “Some kids did so amazingly well on these games.”

Carolene Charles, an early childhood education professor at the UDC, said the games Johnson used with children at the school’s early childhood education center helped develop their problem-solving skills as well as their patience.

“When you have games, teachers and parents working together to make that happen, you have generation of children that are better at critical thinking,” Charles said.

First all-female squad tackles obstacle course n

BY

EMILIE SHAUGHNESSY STAFF WRITER

Nicknaming themselves “Nothing to See Here,” the first all-female team competed in Prince George’s County’s Iron Team Endurance Competition this year, hurling telephone poles and hopping chain link fences in gas masks.

On Oct. 1, 33 teams of first responders and military personnel from the mid-Atlantic region participated in the challenge — a land and water obstacle course designed by organizers from the Prince George’s County police department. The 2014 title was clinched by an Anne Arundel County SWAT team, said county police Cpl. Bud Bergstrom.

“Our department started this competition with the vision of teams coming together to complete and learn from one another,” Bergstrom said. “We wanted to enforce the importance of teamwork..”

Anna LaGrave, a member of the Prince George’s County fire department and participant on the all-female team, said some women might be intimidated by the competition.

“I think it mostly has to do with females being scared to

Team member Katie Johnson said embarrassment wasn’t a concern for Nothing to See Here.

“We don’t care about looking bad,” she said.

The other “Nothing to See Here” team members were first-time contestants Theresa Murphy and Nikki Catlett.

Two new obstacle challenges this year were a 1,000 lb. wooden cube that contestants had to flip in a certain pattern, and four concrete cylinders contestants dragged using chains, Bergstrom said.

A county team has never won the challenge, Bergstrom said. This year, the highest ranking county team was a Laurel police team that came in sixth place.

The EST A-team, which also included Cpl. John Silvers, Pfc. Hong Park and Sgt. Chris Heverly, said members trained together using a smartphone app for about two months prior to the event and found the training and competition helped build a sense of camaraderie.

“I think competition is good between police agencies and it definitely makes us closer,” Silvers said. “It’s friendly competition — it’s definitely fun.”

Mitchellville man creates mentor program to offer ‘second chance’ n Business incubator helps those with criminal records, lack of resources

New administrator initiating arts integration

Lowery-Fitzhugh said.

Murray said she would like to build on the school’s arts program such as participation in Project Lead the Way, a national nonprofit providing Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics teacher preparation.

“We have the engineering piece paired with performing arts,” Murray said. “That’s a great combination to me.”

School board member Amber Waller, whose District 3 includes Northwestern, said Murray is a good choice.

“One thing we’ve talked about was her experience and her belief in community engagement and partnership,” Waller said.

Murray said her goal is to take Northwestern to the next level of achievement.

When Clarence Crawford, 62, of Mitchellville needs inspiration for the barbershop business incubator he recently launched in Bladensburg, he said he turns to one of the oldest sources around — the Bible.

Crawford, a retired federal financial officer and also the founder and pastor of a nondenominational church in Largo, said the Old Testament and the New Testament are rife with stories about businessmen — from Abraham, who was a rancher; to Joseph, the prime minister of Egypt; to Peter, a fisherman.

He said Jesus Christ frequently talked about business principles in his parables.

“The Lord really is a businessman,” said Crawford, who on Sept. 4 opened Teach ’em to Fish Family Barbershop & Salon on 57th Avenue as an business incubator for aspiring shop owners who may have trouble finding opportunities elsewhere. “When you sit and look at the Bible, it’s a business book.”

The barbershop is the first project of the Largo-based Teach ‘em to Fish Community Development Corp., a business incubator ministry Crawford launched in 2012 to help men and women who want to be entrepreneurs but either lack the needed resources or have a criminal background that makes it difficult for them to advance their careers.

Crawford said future projects of the nonprofit organization include a business incubator focused on technology and a micro-lending program.

For now, he and other volunteer professionals are focus-

Clarence Crawford stands outside of his Teach ’em to Fish Family Barbershop and Salon in Bladensburg on Oct. 2. ing on training the two men currently in the four-stage barbershop incubator program.

The incubator began in January 2013 with training focused on good decision making.

During the second stage, which began with the opening of the barbershop, the trainees learn about financial and legal issues, and during the third stage they will develop their own business plans.

In the fourth stage, once the trainees have graduated, Crawford said they are expected to come back and mentor future classes.

“What we’re teaching them is the skills and behaviors necessary to become entrepreneurs,” Crawford said. “We’re just looking for people that can just use a second chance.”

Terrence Haskins, 38, and Martinez Ward, 34, both of Capitol Heights, who plan to go into business together after they graduate in 2016, said that since the shop opened they have been implementing the time management and community outreach skills they’ve

been learning for the past year and a half.

Haskins, a former construction worker, said he began learning the barber trade in 2009, during the eight months he was incarcerated at the Department of Corrections in Upper Marlboro.

Ward said he began to consider a career as a barber when the recession hit around 2009 and he lost his job as a home improvement contractor.

Haskins said the program has taught him to overcome his shyness and go out in the community to forge relationships and drum up business for the shop, and Ward said he has learned that hard work and good customer service will yield benefits in the long run.

“People call it karma...for us it’s a Biblical principle,” Ward said. “When you reap, you reap what you planted.” apopovici@gazette.net

Avalon Elementary advances in Science Bowl n Fort Washington team had strategic victory plan BY

ALICE POPOVICI STAFF WRITER

It was a close game up until the final minute for Avalon Elementary School during the Science Bowl competition Tuesday afternoon, but correct answers to high-value questions about dinosaurs, plants and the Ebola epidemic helped the team cinch their victory and advance to the quarterfinals.

“I like how all the questions have a secret clue that you have to find,” said Nathalia Young-Vasquez, 10, whose teammates from the Fort Washington-based school included captain Elisa Almengor, 11, Lilianna Aguirre, 10 and alternate Shannon Egan, 9.

Natalie and her teammates, who had been training three times per week since mid-September and every day for the past week, said their strategy was to determine their opponent’s weakness while playing up their own strengths.

Avalon defeated Woodridge Elementary School in Hyattsville with a 225-185 score in the final round of Tuesday’s competition.

“We talked about that... the technique of how to play,” said Rowena Rabara, the Science Bowl coordinator at Avalon, who said she had advised

The team won the competition and will advance to the quarterfinals on Jan. 27. the team members to make the most of their strength in the answer categories about plants, animals and the human body. “They deserve it.

They were really prepared.”

David Zahren, the host of the Jeopardy-style competition now in its 29th year, said that Tuesday’s final round between Avalon and Woodridge was so close it could have been “anybody’s game” until about the last minute.

“I think the Avalon team showed me, in the first game,

that they were pretty tenacious when the tough questions came up,” Zahren said, adding that the team worked well together and remained cool under pressure. “They knew how, on that team, to dig an answer out.”

Kevin Herbert, 12, the captain of the Woodridge team, said he was happy with the game his team played, after practicing for the past few weeks by watching Science Bowl videos from previous years.

“I think we did pretty good compared to last year,” said Kevin, whose teammates included Farid Cruz, 11, and Franco Romero, 10.

Woodridge advanced to the final round in Tuesday’s competition by defeating Dodge Park Elementary School in Landover earlier, by a score of 180-110. The Dodge Park team included team captain Julio Gonzalez, 10, Audrey Alston, 10, and Zaniya Pearson, 10.

In the first round of the

afternoon, Avalon defeated Highland Park Elementary School in Landover, which included captain Noble Okorocha, 11, Victor Ebisike, 11 and Oscar Coreas Otero, 10, by a score of 265-175.

Earle Palmer Brown died at his home in Potomac on Oct. 1 following a life that involved work and leadership roles in multiple fields, including public relations, journalism and politics.

Among his many roles in the area, Brown ran his own public relations agency and was an important figure in starting The Universities at Shady Grove in Rockville.

He was born in Long Island, N.Y., in 1922. A memorial service was held on Sunday in Washington, D.C. Among the many leadership positions he held throughout his life, Brown at various points was president of the National Federation of Advertising Agencies, chairman of the Maryland State Chamber of Commerce, president of Congressional Country Club, president of Rosecroft Raceway in Fort Washington, and a founder of the Washington Tennis Patrons Foundation.

He served as an adviser for a number of political campaigns.

Brown started his own public relations agency in 1952 called Earle Palmer Brown.

The firm grew from a oneman shop in Washington, D.C., to one of the biggest advertising and public relations firms in the region.

Brown also served on the University System of Maryland Board of Regents for about 10 years.

He was “really instrumental” in starting the Shady Grove campus, said Jack Murphy, a former editor at The Gazette who used to work with Brown.

From the early 1990s to the early 2000s, Brown wrote a column for The Gazette that covered topics such as politics and observations about life, Murphy said.

Brown was “very funny,” “very smart” and “very astute,” he said.

“He had a great way of looking at things,” Murphy said.

Keith Haller, president and CEO of public relations and marketing research firm Potomac Incorporated, said he and Brown “were partners in many projects, many regional pursuits” and shared a love for sports and politics.

Brown “really loved” the greater Washington region, where he saw “strength and identity,” Haller said. lpowers@gazette.net

Forest Heights residents are encouraged to pick up their shovels and help make the town greener during a tree planting this Saturday.

Five hundred trees will be planted at Forest Heights Elementary School on Saturday and Nov. 1, said Kimberly Knox, a Forest Heights volunteer.

Knox said houses behind the school have exerienced flooding in their backyards due to stormwater runoff. The trees will combat flooding and , Knox said. The trees, which include serviceberry, river birch, sycamore and northern red oak are native to the East coast.

FLIPPING

Continued from Page A-1 ty’s high foreclosure rate and the spike in the home flipping are related.

“I think there is a strong correlation there because there is more of an inventory available that is causing the flipping to be going up even while in most of the country it is going down.” he said. “I would say Maryland still is [a good market for flipping] because of the distressed inventory which does provide the ideal type of property to execute a profitable flip.”

Thomas Himler, deputy chief administrative officer for the county’s office of budget, finance and administration, said he views the high flipping rate as largely positive for the county.

“Providing joy to kids is what Kids Wish Network is all about.

For a child, like Josh, who is facing a life-threatening condition, having a once-in-a-lifetime experience, like this, can make a world of difference,” DuPree said. “It can bring back that spark of hope.”

Josh, who attends The Harbour School in Annapolis, said he enjoys running and gym class at school, but most of all loves watching wrestling matches on

“This is a sign that the residential market is improving when you have folks coming in and investing homes and then turning them around, being able to sell them,” he said. “It’s increasing the value of not only these properties, but it’s affecting the neighboring properties.

This will translate to higher values for the neighborhood.”

John Lesniewski, president of the Prince George’s County Association of Realtors, said RealtyTrac’s data matches what he has been seeing across the county.

“We anticipate a greater number of foreclosures coming back on the market in the next 18 to 20 months,” he said. “We want the banks to process them, we want people living in theses houses, stabilizing the neighborhoods, and that will bring values

back up.”

Lesniewski said the flipping trend will help create construction and remodeling jobs, increase home values and aesthetically improve neighborhoods.

“We feel it’s all part of the recovery and part of the healing,” he said. “Let’s clean the mess up.”

The high foreclosure rate has resulted in some real estate agents specializing in distressed properties, while others have become involved in flipping homes themselves, Lesniewski said.

Michael Cunningham of Bowie is an author and photographer who said his interests turned to real estate this year after he realized the state of the county’s housing market.

Cunningham received certi-

fication from the National Association of Realtors this summer specifically to deal with foreclosed homes and short sales, he said.

“I was always interested in real estate and property and I have some family members who develop communities in North Carolina,” he said. “I just noticed the amount of properties in Maryland and Prince George’s County that were in some sort of short sale or foreclosure. My books are about real people and uplifting people and I just thought here are some people who need help and information and resources before they lose their homes.”

Cunningham said he helps homeowners try to sell their homes through a short sale process to avoid going into foreclosure.

Jack Bannister of North Beach is a real estate agent who said he looks for these distressed properties to renovate and resell, and said he has helped flip hundreds of properties in Prince George’s County.

“Prince George’s County has the lowest prices in the metropolitan area and probably the most foreclosures, so you have the most distressed sales, so its just a matter of numbers,” Bannister said. “It’s a good add-on to the real estate brokerage business. It’s hard to make a living doing rehabs.”

Bannister said that, although flipping trends are high, “rehabs” may not be as profitable as they were around five years ago.

“Right now so many people are doing this that the price to buy the house has gone way

up,” he said. “Everybody loves the idea and thinks there is more profit than there is.”

Bannister said he typically makes between $15,000 and $25,000 profit on a flipped home, but thinks one of his properties this year may just break even.

Blomquist confirmed that home prices have increased about 25 percent since 2012, so flipping conditions may not be as profitable as they were two years ago.

“That makes it a little less favorable for flippers, but there is still some room for home prices to go up further so I would still say it’s a good time,” Blomquist said.

television and online.

“Ever since I watched it for the first time [I liked it],” he said.

“I like the matches.”

Smack-Whaley said the love of wrestling is a trait Josh shares with his father and grandmother and that she sometimes can’t tear him away from watching a match online.

“It’s hereditary,” she said.

Josh’s Crouzon’s Syndrome was also inherited, his mother said. Smack-Whaley said she was diagnosed at age 21 and hadn’t even heard of the condition previously. Crouzon’s can cause facial abnormalities such as a protruding jaw or prominent eyes, she said.

“I knew I looked different. It was very difficult growing up,” Smack-Whaley said. “Now we would call it bullying, but back then it was called teasing.”

Smack-Whaley underwent cosmetic surgery in her early 20s after getting diagnosed, but her son’s condition is far more severe and will require regular testing and medical procedures, she said.

Smack-Whaley said she overcame the challenges of her syndrome and believes Josh will be able to do the same.

“I wanted to have kids, I wanted to get married. It was very difficult for me, but I did it,” she said. “Josh is very persistent.

It’s my goal for him to go to college.”

Josh’s older brother, Robert Whaley did not inherit the Crouzon’s gene, but said he faced his own challenges understanding and coping with his brother’s syndrome.

“People definitely stare — adults too — and it has an effect,” he said. “Now that I’m older, I see how ignorant people

can be.”

Whaley said support groups for families of people with disabilities — like those organized by the Children’s Craniofacial Association — have been helpful for him.

Smack-Whaley said she is now an advocate for CCA and hopes her own experience will help encourage others affected

by Crouzon’s or similar condi-

tions.

“I’m a testimony to people because of what I went through and what I have to go through with this syndrome,” she said, adding her own twist on John Cena’s “Never give up” slogan: “Never say you can’t and don’t give up.”

SHOOTING

“It’s been a cut-through and a loitering place for kids probably since the parents of some of these kids went to Bowie High,” he said. “The wood line that’s behind Midwood has been a place for kids to skip school for decades.

Until we can get maybe some physical barriers up or change the geography of it so it’s [less accessible], it’s going to be a continual battle.”

Deputy Chief Dwyane Preston said an armed robbery took place near the parking lot about two hours before the homicide, but said the two incidents

Continued from Page A-1 increased the frequency of Route 21 during peak hours and began to offer earlier bus service toward Upper Marlboro, Terry said. Still, riders say the county can do more to improve public transportation service in Upper Marlboro.

Malika Williams, 39, of Landover said she catches the bus to Upper Marlboro at Brightseat Road. At least once a week Route 21 arrives five to seven minutes late, she said.

“Unfortunately if it runs late, it throws everything off for me,” Williams said.

Jeremy Wilson lives across from the parking lot where the shooting took place and said he was at home when it happened.

“I thought it was joking around or something,” Wilson said. “I was just folding clothes and I heard something like a firecracker.”

Wilson said he and his wife and school-aged daughter moved to the neighborhood about three months ago and have found the area to be quiet and safe. Wilson said he views the shooting as an isolated incident and isn’t afraid for his family’s safety.

“But my wife is,” he said.

said she had to call a cab to get to class on time.

“That 15 to 20 minutes, that’s a little tough,” Williams said. “Thank goodness that does not happen often.”

Terry said the 15 minute delay Williams experienced may have been part of a cascading delay. However, when the bus comes five to seven minutes late, it is still “ontime” because the delay meets on-time performance standards, Terry said. A bus is still considered on-time if it arrives two minutes early or five to seven minutes late, Terry said.

Corvondre Ferrell, 20, of Upper Marlboro said the bus schedule made it difficult for him to complete night classes at Prince George’s Community College. The final southbound Route 21 bus leaves the college

Ferrell said he was able to get rides from friends, but some nights he had to leave class early to catch the bus. He said later bus service to Upper Marlboro would give him a “better opportunity” to get home.

“My ride would be from friends and they would have to work late, so it would benefit me getting home instead of asking them,” Ferrell said.

Before the department can determine how much it would cost to extend bus service, Terry said it needs to secure funds that can go toward preparing a long range transit system plan.

The Interfaith Council of Suburban Maryland held a prayer vigil Tuesday in response to the homicide, starting at Bowie Library and ending at the site of the shooting.

The Rev. Cynthia Snavely of Goodloe Unitarian Universalist Congregation in Bowie was one of the vigil organizers and said the grandson of one of her members was a classmate of White’s son.

Terry said the department has applied for grants but many of them require matching funds, which the department does not have at this time.

This hasn’t stopped the department from discussing improvements they would like to see, such as adding more buses during the day, Terry said, “Midday service on multiple routes will be evaluated as part of the development of a long range transit system plan for the county,” Terry said. kpetersen@gazette.net

Around 50 faith leaders and community members attended the vigil, which included a chorus of “We Will Overcome” led by Rabbi Steve Weisman of Temple Solel in Bowie.

“We are here to acknowledge that [White’s] death is a blow that weakens our entire community,” Weisman said.

Best choices for General Assembly Today, The Gazette continues its endorsements for contested races in Prince George’s County in the Nov. 4 general election. For more election information, visit www.gazette.net.

DISTRICT 21

Includes College Park and Laurel.

Senate Incumbent Jim Rosapepe (D) is running unopposed.

House of Delegates (three seats) Democratic incumbents Ben Barnes, Barbara Frush and Joseline Pena-Melnyk remain the best choices to represent their district for a third term.

Pena-Melnyk has been an advocate for job creation, crime control and ensuring the area’s growing Latino population is not underrepresented. Barnes championed for workers’ compensation and aid for domestic violence victims, while Frush remains a strong voice on behalf of environmental issues such as water pollution control.

Republican challenger Katherine Butcher does not outline specifics for meeting goals, such as exploring vocational education and finding ways to compensate for lowering taxes.

DISTRICT 22

Includes Greenbelt, Berwyn Heights, Hyattsville, New Carrollton, North Brentwood, Riverdale and University Park

Senate Incumbent Paul Pinsky (D) brings a record of success, from being the lead sponsor on the Healthy Air Act in 2006 to his longstanding efforts to raise teaching standards. He has worked to close corporate tax loopholes and brings more than two decades of experience in the General Assembly. Pinsky has earned our endorsement.

His challenger, Republican Janice Denise Fountaine, did not reply to an interview request or return a questionnaire regarding stances on the issues.

House of Delegates (three seats) Incumbents Tawanna Gaines, Alonzo Washington and Anne Healey, all Democrats, are shoe-ins for the three seats — in part because Republican Lynn White is missing in action. She didn’t reply to a Gazette interview request or return a questionnaire regarding her stances on the issues.

As a team, Gaines, Washington and Healey helped secure funding for a New Carrollton playground, Riverdale’s Welcome Center, Greenbelt’s historic theater, and the Arts Works Project in Hyattsville. They are the best choices for District 22.

DISTRICT 23

Includes Bowie and Upper Marlboro

Senate Incumbent Douglas J.J. Peters (D) is running unopposed.

House of Delegates 23A (one seat) Incumbent Geraldine ValentinoSmith (D) has been an effective leader in Annapolis. She worked closely with residents and Prince George’s officials to address local concerns, such as legislation to withhold some of the earnings of inmates to compensate crime victims, and is known for her strong constituent services. She isn’t afraid to take on controversial topics, such as her efforts to evaluate best practices for the school board — which became the launching point for the reorganization of the county’s school board structure.

Her challenger, Shukoor Ahmed, a businessman who has been active in the community, is running as an independent. He has worked to help promising candidates seeking office and developed technology that helps residents contact elected officials.

However, Valentino-Smith has done well for her constituents and deserves another term. She gets our endorsement.

Gazette-Star Vanessa Harrington, Senior Editor Jeffrey Lyles, Managing Editor Glen C. Cullen, Senior Editor Copy/Design Will C. Franklin, A&E Editor

OUROPINION House of Delegates 23B (two seats) Voters in this district are in a bind.

While incumbent Marvin Holmes Jr. (D) gets The Gazette’s nod (he has been an advocate for minority businesses and has a strong focus on aiding schools and business), the other two candidates for this race are disappointing — and two seats have to be filled.

Incumbent Joseph Vallario (D) has been in the General Assembly for decades, but is out of touch with his district and has no new ideas.

Republican Mike Hethmon, an attorney known for his anti-immigration efforts, was recently charged with molesting an 8-year-old girl in Upper Marlboro. He has not been convicted of the crimes he’s accused of committing, but it’s a serious red flag for voters.

By default, Vallario is the best option to join Holmes.

Barron, a former prosecutor for the county state’s attorney’s office and the U.S. Department of Justice, is known for his community efforts and brings solid strategies for dealing with county challenges. Howard is a strong consensusbuilder, and Vaughn is an advocate for small and minority businesses.

Republican Cy Okoro did not reply to an interview request or return a questionnaire regarding stances on issues.

DISTRICT 25

Includes District Heights and Morningside

Senate In this race, voters must choose between a long-term incumbent, Ulysses Currie, who was censured by the Maryland Senate due to ethical concerns and a political newcomer, Kory Boone, who lacks experience and clear plans to address some challenges he outlines.

Although Currie (D), a five-term state senator, was found not guilty in a 2011 bribery trial in which he was accused of using his influence as a senator to obtain benefits for a grocery store, the issues surrounding the case raised questions about his leadership.

Boone (R), an IT specialist, wants Maryland to have a flat tax, hopes to repair roads, and aims to improve schools and the job market.

Prince George’s has suffered enough bad leaders. In a race between an inexperienced leader and one censured for ethical concerns, the newcomer gets the slight edge. The Gazette endoses Boone.

House of Delegates (three seats) Businessman Darryl Barnes, incumbent Dereck E. Davis, and education and social service policy specialist Angela Angel are running unopposed.

DISTRICT 26

Includes Clinton, Forest Heights, Fort Washington and Oxon Hill

Senate Incumbent C. Anthony Muse (D) has been effective in Annapolis. He brought back funding for a new Oxon Hill High School, Avalon Elementary and Crossland High School auditorium, and he was able to get a bill approved to provide tax credits for seniors whose rent is more than 50 percent of their income.

He is focused on helping minority small businesses and getting more funding for Md. Route 210.

His challenger, Kelley Howells (D), a

teacher, aims to reduce taxes and make Maryland more business friendly. She is in touch with the concerns of residents, but lacks strong ideas for addressing the challenges.

Muse has done well in office and has earned another term.

House of Delegates (three seats) Former County Councilman Tony Knotts, and incumbents Kris Valderrama and Jay Walker are running unopposed.

DISTRICT 27

Includes Brandywine, Cheltenham and Upper Marlboro

Senate Incumbent Mike Miller has been Senate president since 1987 and remains a powerful voice for his district.

While his legislative actions can be controversial, he’s successful in his goals, such as getting a casino at National Harbor.

Republican Jesse Peed, while passionate about cutting taxes and helping businesses, lacks solid strategies for addressing his concerns.

District 27 would be best served by Miller.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR

Two terms is enough

The president of these United States serves two terms and then his term is up. He does not say I need more time because I can do more and make a difference. Nor does he request for a third term in office to continue his agenda. We need more new and different ideas to improve our overall economy for Prince George’s County and not a third term for those in office.

Asking voters to extend a third term for the county executive, council, sheriff and others is too much to contemplate for many residents in this county, as we all know. There are many concerns that need to be improved, and it just might take a different person than our current leaders now to make this happen.

Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York, was a third-term mayor, and some of the residents there could not wait for his term to end. They were ready for him to go. Sometimes it may appear that a person in office can make it really better by a third term and it could be possible, but I do not agree.

Let’s put new leaders in office and vote “Yes” to term limits in Prince George’s County. I know many of us may feel that two terms is enough. I know I do.

Jennifer Lowery-Bell, Upper Marlboro

House of Delegates 27a (one seat) Incumbent James Proctor Jr., the longtime vice chairman of the House’s Appropriations Committee, has been a member of the House since 1990 and has been an advocate for veterans and safety issues. Republican Joe Crawford is a strong challenger who knows the district’s main issues, but doesn’t offer enough strong ideas for addressing the challenges he outlines.

Proctor has served the district well and has earned our endorsement.

House of Delegates 27B (one seat) Democrat Michael Jackson, the former embattled county sheriff from 2002 to 2010 wants to ensure the implementation of a minimum wage increase, increase funding for school construction and backs affordable housing for all residents.

Republican Philip Parenti wants to reduce corporate taxes to allow businesses a chance to expand, but lacks specifics on addressing other issues.

Jackson has a more comprehensive approach and a firmer grasp of the many issues impacting the district. For those reasons, he gets the slight edge over Parenti.

DISTRICT 47

Includes Bladensburg, Brentwood, Cheverly, Colmar Manor, Cottage City, Edmonston, Landover Hills and Mount Rainier

Senate Incumbent Victor Ramirez (D) is running unopposed.

House of Delegates 47a (Two seats) The Gazette endorsed Jimmy Tarlau (D) in the primary for his clear strategies on providing more state aid for education, adjusting the tax code to eliminate corporate loopholes for companies based in other states and offering tax relief to seniors on fixed incomes. He gets the nod again for the general election.

Diana Fennell, the former mayor of Colmar Manor, has been instrumental in securing funding for Colmar Manor as well as the other Port Towns partners and should be able to make good on her plans to increase school funding.

She gets the nod over Republican candidate Fred Price Jr., a former Cheverly councilman, who banks heavily on Maryland Stadium Authority bonds to address construction/renovation needs. Tarlau and Fennell are the choices for District 47A.

House of Delegates 47B (one seat) Will Campos (D) is running unopposed.

The Bowie Dog Park (shown here) provides a fenced-in place for dogs to play in place of allowing them to run unleashed in regular parks.

Kudos for park safety

While running on the nature trails at White Marsh Park, I saw two police officers riding on what appeared to be small battery-powered motorcycles. In a brief conversation with the officers, they explained how the bikes would enable them to enforce the park rules (leash law, smoking prohibition, etc.) more effectively.

This is a welcome thing for we runners (including the high school track teams) who train and run on the White Marsh nature trails and bike paths. We frequently encounter owners who allow their dogs to run without leashes in the park. Many of these dogs are ill-trained and approach runners in an aggressive manner.

Owners who wish to allow their dogs to run unleashed can utilize the well-maintained, fenced-in, one-acre Bowie dog park located at 3600 Northview Drive.

I applaud the Bowie Police Department for this new effort.

‘You need to vote’

For the past couple of weeks, I have been volunteering at a candidate volunteer location for the upcoming election. Part of my duties have been to make calls to residents in Maryland.

Yes, I know, no one likes to receive these types of calls, but they are critical to getting the word out about candidates and their platform about resident issues.

I am not so surprised by the number of people who hang up in my ear or who tell me where to go. I am surprised by the number of people who, when they take my call, have no idea if they are going to vote or just indicate that they have no plan to vote at all. Equally disturbing is the number of people who indicate they know nothing about the candidates, but they will make their decision when they go to vote.

I think the most disturbing to me, however, is the fact that the candidates have the opportunity to use this location to contact their constituents and they do not even come in to do that.

They want the office, but there is a total lack of commitment on their part to actively engage in getting the word out about their position on the office for which they are running.

Everywhere I go, I hear people complain about how bad things are in Maryland. Well, I’ve got news for you, Maryland will continue to be bad or get even worse if you do not do something about it. You need to get involved, you need to have your voice heard and, you need to vote.

If you do not hear from your candidate, don’t vote for them just because it is the party line to do so; make them work for it. If they won’t work for themselves to get elected, what makes you think they will work for you once they are elected?

Douglass chases its own history Eagles’ defense trying to beat the record-setting defense of 2003 team

I

See VOLLEYBALL, Page B-2

BY PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

t’s no secret that the defense of Frederick Douglass High School’s football team is really good. Posting shutouts in the first four games of the season makes a statement.

The Eagles have allowed six points in five games. The only points scored came in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game against Fort Washington’s Friendly. Douglass won 59-6.

Defensive tackle Amir Fenwick said the team was upset to finally allow a team to score on the Upper Marlboro school, but he said they knew it was only a matter of time.

“It upset us at first, but you know, we got to move on,” Fenwick said. “It’s going to happen. We know it’s going to happen, so we just got to keep moving forward and prevent it from happening again.”

The goal of this defense wasn’t to shutout every team it played this year, it was to be the best defense in school history. To do so, it would have to allow fewer than the five touchdowns scored against the 2003 team.

That goal wasn’t something that recently developed from this season’s success, it was set before the season even started. This team knew in the summer that it had a chance to do something special, Fenwick said.

“Coming into the season it was a goal,” Fenwick said.

“During summer workouts, and then into the preseason, we started getting it together — that we’re not going to allow [any] points.”

Fenwick, a captain on the team, is a big part of the reason why Douglass was so confident entering the season. The fourth-year starter excels along the interior of the defensive line, but also started embracing his role as the captain during summer workouts. Fenwick said he brought the team together during that time.

“I got more in-tune to what I got to do to help my team win,” Fenwick said about his growth as a player.

“I feel like my job is, just control the line of scrimmage.

BY TERRON HAMPTON SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

Rarely can one player will his team to a victory in football, but the case could be made that Bishop McNamara High School junior quarterback Ramar Williams did just that Saturday in a homecoming contest against visiting Archbishop Carroll.

Williams improvised with his legs and proved to be a very accurate passer, as he threw for 374 yards and three touchdowns in a 20-14 victory.

Carroll’s (D.C.) defense seemingly had no answers Williams. And, perhaps, the play of the day came on the game’s first score.

Williams was flushed left out of the pocket, reversed his direction and signaled to receiver Camari Murray to break off his route and roll right, where Williams found him in stride for a 69-yard touchdown pass that put McNamara (2-3) ahead 6-0 in the third

quarter.

“It comes natural to me,” said Williams, who completed 67 percent (21 of 31) of his pass attempts. “I like to make plays and extend plays and when I find someone open, I just throw the ball to them. It happened with Camari. We have that connection where if a play is broken down, I can find him on the field.”

The pass to Murray also put Williams over the 5,000-yard mark for his career. But the junior wasn’t done there.

In the fourth quarter, Williams found receiver Alfonso Banks IV, who broke a tackle and took the pass 52 yards to put the Mustangs ahead, 14-0.

After a long scoring drive, which was kept alive by a McNamara penalty, by the Lions (1-4), Williams sealed the game when he found Brian Thompson for an 80-yard touchdown pass that gave McNamara a commanding, 208, lead with 3 minutes, 49 seconds remaining in the game.

“He’s just outstanding,” Murray said of Williams. “All of his balls are on point. He can extend plays, which helps

Junior quarterback leads McNamara past Carroll n

Charles H. Flowers High School girls volleyball coach Jeff Ware said he remembers the day he met sophomore middle Christina Nance. Two summers ago, Ware, now in his 14th season at Flowers, decided to stop by the Springdale school to pick up some mail as the season drew closer. As the Jaguars coach made his way out of the building, he saw the 6-foot-2, 13-year-old Nance walking down the other side of the hallway.

Nance, who was finishing up a summer program before she began her freshman year at Flowers, remembered seeing a man make an “awkward face” before heading in a beeline straight for her. “I thought I was in some type of danger,” Nance said, laughing as she remembered their encounter.

Nearly 30 minutes later, after following Nance and her mother all the way out to their car, Ware had convinced the rising freshman to come out for the team that fall.

“I just kind of looked to the heavens and said, ‘Thank you, Lord,’” Ware said.

Fast-forward to Monday afternoon at Parkdale High School, where Nance stood huddled over in front of the net, waiting to unravel her 6-foot-3 frame into a daunting impasse for opposing hitters.

Pumas’ defense holds Wildcats to 158 total yards in 24-0 win BY

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

In the waning seconds of the Henry A. Wise High School football team’s 24-0 win over visiting Northwestern on Friday afternoon, Pumas’ linebacker Emmanuel Akinlosotu ran down the middle of the field before launching himself directly into the returner, who was instantaneously tackled backwards into the dusty ground.

As the Pumas’ special teams players swarmed the linebacker on his way back to the sideline, coach DaLawn Parrish nodded his head in approval.

“He’s physical,” Parrish said afterwards. “You watch him out there flying around and you’re not just seeing tackles, you’re seeing collisions ... to the defense, that’s a statement.”

Friday afternoon the entire Wise defense took turns issuing a statement, shutting out a Northwestern offense that had outscored its previous three opponents by a total of 100-0. Against a bigger line, the Pumas’ defensive front stymied the Wildcats’ running attack, limiting the visitors to just 112 yards on 38 rushing attempts — just over 2.9 yards per carry.

Other than a 47-yard run by junior Justin Mack to open the second half, the Wildcats only managed one gain of more than eight yards the rest of the afternoon.

“I thought the defensive effort was phenomenal,” Parrish said. “I thought we held them up front and we imposed our will, so to speak. They had a couple of good runs where they popped it but the

Continued from Page B-1 Just halfway through her second season in the sport, Nance has developed into one of the more formidable middles in the county, combining her physical gifts with a unrivaled desire to learn to create what Ware has called “a coach’s dream.”

“She’s everything you’d want,” Ware said of the sophomore. “She’s a great student [of the game] and she wants to learn how to do everything and do it better. I don’t usually have to ask her. She always comes to me and asks what she could have done better. Those things are rare in any athlete, boy or

On the few occasions that Northwestern decided to air things out, the Wise secondary was ready to pounce. Myles Wolfolk, a first-year transfer from Largo, got things started with an interception deep in Wildcats’ territory just over five minutes into the game.

But as impressive as the Wise defense was throughout, Northwestern’s unit, which entered the game having not allowed a point in three weeks, was equally as imposing for a good portion of three quarters.

The Wildcats bent but did not break in the first half, halting a number of Wise drives just outside of the red zone. And when the Pumas did creep towards the goal line, facing a fourthand-goal at the Northwestern 1 with just seconds remain-

girl, in any sport.”

It’s that thirst to be the best that allowed Nance, a selfproclaimed perfectionist, to be named a varsity co-captain on a contending Prince George’s County team in just her second year in sports. Yes, in sports.

When Nance joined the volleyball team in the fall of 2013, it was the first time she had played an organized team sport.

“I didn’t really play sports,” Nance said. “I would play basketball here and there, but not on an official team. That was pretty much it sports wise.

Dance was kind of where I was.”

Since she was a child, Nance has participated in liturgical dance — an expression-based type of dance used in church

services to amplify prayer. But going into her freshman season, Nance, the daughter of a 6-foot-9 ex-West Virginia University basketball player, entertained the thought of playing a sport. After her encounter with Ware, Nance decided volleyball would be a fine place to start.

“She took [volleyball] under her wing immediately to make herself the best player she could be and try to [further] understand the game,” Ware said. “To be honest, that’s a little rare, because most want to do it as fun and they don’t want to take it serious. She took it serious.”

Early into last season, Ware was faced with the decision of leaving the quickly-developing Nance on junior varsity, where

he knew, “she wasn’t going to learn quite as much,” or bringing her to the varsity level, where the level of play might be intimidating for someone with just weeks of experience in the sport. In the end though, Ware’s choice proved to be a no-brainer, as he thrust the freshman out onto the varsity court from the get-go.

“I was everything,” Nance said, remembering her first season. “I was scared. I was nervous. It was like, ‘Oh my gosh, what am I doing.’”

Despite her initial hesitance, the honor roll student completely committed herself to the game, sacrificing time she would usually use for dance to put in extra practice. When time

allowed, Nance would head over to the University of Maryland to catch a women’s volleyball game, where she would watch the middles’ technique, studying their movement off of the net and trying to imitate the same motion in practice.

As soon as last season came to a close, Nance joined Kinetic — a local club volleyball team coached by a Flowers assistant.

At 15 and with just one season of experience under her belt, Nance was playing on a U-18 team.

“She put in her time to play,” said senior hitter Dara Harris, an All-Gazette first team selection last season. “We all have to put in our time to play and she definitely put her time in.”

Now, in her second season in the sport, Nance has no regrets about the decision she made in that hallway two summers ago. The sophomore has grown into an integral piece of the Flowers team and her incredible on-court progress has Ware talking about possibly playing college volleyball.

“I definitely have more to learn to get to where I want to be,” Nance said after her Jaguars defeated Parkdale in straight sets. “But I’m so glad that day happened or I don’t know what I’d be doing right now ... it was an awesome day when I discovered volleyball.”

Pinkney added. “He’s a strong kid. He pushes the pocket. He’s very physical, and he just has that presence about him where he’s going to command the double team a lot of the times.

He plays his butt off... We don’t expect anything less.”

Fenwick is among the team

leaders in tackles with 22, five for a loss. Even though the Eagles finally allowed a point this season, he said it doesn’t alleviate the pressure not to allow more points. There’s still pressure on the defense to perform up to their expectations, he said.

“It don’t take no pressure off.

We just got the pressure on, and we just going to keep it moving.”

Pinkney however said there’s less pressure on them to remain perfect.

“Nobody shuts out everybody, but I’m really happy that our guys had set goals — and the bar so high,” Pinkney said.

“We’re going to work to try and get another streak going if we can. And just try to keep points at a minimum. It’s good that we’re able to keep people out of the endzone. And on the flip side, we’re putting points up as well.”

The next challenge for Fen-

wick and this Douglass team is undefeated Potomac (5-0).

The game is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Saturday and will provide the biggest challenge for each team at this point in the season.

ing in the first half, Wildcats’ lineman Dontay Smith came through with a massive stop, sending the visitors bounding off the field with a considerable amount of momentum.

But in a game that Parrish said was “classic Prince George’s football,” the Pumas’ ground and pound attack eventually broke through. Facing a fourth-and-short situation at the Northwestern 43 midway through the third quarter, junior running back CJ Rainey took the ball in the backfield, hoping just to plunge forward a few feet, he said. But 43 yards later, the Wise running back was in the end zone to break the scoreless tie.

“I was thinking, because it was fourth-and-short, just to go straight,” Rainey said, “But I still wanted to read it. I read it and found a little seam and bust through it into the secondary.”

Coming into Friday’s contest, Parrish said he had planned on implementing a balanced offensive game plan, not the rush-heavy attack that ensued.

However, the aggressive North-

Sophomore quarterback Walter Reap was never able to establish any semblance of a passing game, connecting on only three of his 11 attempts and tossing two interceptions, including a late fourth quarter misfire that Wise senior Anthony Parker Jr. returned 75 yards for a score, effectively sealing the win for the Pumas.

“When you’re playing a team like Wise, you don’t know [what to] expect,” Pierre said.

“What we expected is that we had a good game plan, a good week in practice and that we were going to be able to execute.

We just didn’t finish it out.”

While limiting the Wildcats’ prolific offense was the plan all week for Wise, Akinlosotu had more specific plans he vocalized to his defense before they took the field Friday.

“Before we came out for the game we watched film and I said, ‘We’re going to get this donut. We’re going to get it,’” Akinlosotu said. “It feels good to be dominant.”

Douglass, Potomac to test one another

Ground attack leads Bowie State to first win

On Saturday, Frederick Douglass High School’s football team is scheduled to host Potomac in a game that will end with one of them handing the other its first loss of the season. Douglass and Potomac are both 5-0 and Douglass hasn’t had a close game yet this season. Potomac’s only close game was a 14-12 victory against Gwynn Park.

FOOTBALL NOTEBOOK

BY PRINCE J. GRIMES The Eagles have outscored their opponents 230-6 so far. Senior captain Amir Fenwick said playing Potomac should tell everyone how good this Douglass team really is.

“They’re probably the best team that we’re going to play — so far,” Fenwick said. “So, it’s going to test us. We just got to come through.”

Each team needs a win to remain a top team in their respective regions’ point standings. In the 2A South Region, Douglass is tied with a Howard County school, Oakland Mills (5-0), for first place. And in the 3A South Region, Potomac is tied for second place with a Charles County school, Thomas Stone (4-1). Chopticon (5-0), a St. Mary’s school, is in first place.

Charles H. Flowers High School’s Maurice Wright tries to escape the grasp of Oxon Hill’s Demarco Garcia during Friday’s football game in Springdale.

The top four teams from each region advance to the playoffs.

Potomac was changed back to a Class 3A school prior to the football season because of an increase in enrollment, according to Prince George’s County Public Schools Director of Athletics Earl Hawkins.

Brothers in yards Five weeks into the high school football season marks the halfway point, and Eleanor Roosevelt High School is the only undefeated Class 4A team remaining. The Raiders have used a solid defense and dominant rushing attack to win their first five games.

Brothers Karl and Mike-Ryan Mofor have carried the offensive load, running behind a line anchored by Isaiah Prince to combine for 1,047 yards so far. Mike-Ryan Mofor, a senior, is fifth in the county with 587 yards rushing, while his younger brother Karl Mofor, a sophomore, is seventh with 460 yards.

The two have also combined to rush for 12 touchdowns — Mike-Ryan has seven. Karl has five.

Roosevelt faces its toughest challenge to date on Saturday when the Raiders host Henry A. Wise (4-1) at 3 p.m. in Greenbelt.

The Bowie State University football team lost its first four games of the 2014 season, but the results, coach Damon Wilson said, were, perhaps, deceiving since his team had lost three of those contests by a combined seven points.

On Saturday, things started to come together for the Bulldogs against Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association foe Johnson C. Smith University (N.C.). Led by a strong rushing attack and stout defense, Bowie State won its first home game in a month by a 24-0 shutout.

“This is wonderful,” said senior running back Keith Brown, who graduated from Suitland High School. “We still believe and are confident we can win the CIAA. We preached about turning the tide and we stayed positive. You can’t win six in a row without winning one. This is the start we needed for the rest of the year.”

The Bulldogs (1-4, 1-1 CIAA) dominated the game, recording 457 yards of offense to Johnson C. Smith’s (1-4, 0-2) 240. Running backs Kendall Jefferson, Kayvone Spriggs, Phillip Quarrie and Brown and quarterback Trey Bennett (Riverdale Baptist) led the effort, helping the Bulldogs rush for 284 yards. Bennett also was efficient passing, completing 15 of 29 attempts for 173 yards and two touchdowns.

Junior keeps Parkdale afloat

FOR CAR !

With only two starters remaining from the beginning of the season, Parkdale High School coach Katie McMillan has turned to 6-foot-4 junior M’Kaela White to lead her young Panthers team.

White has helped Parkdale to a 3-6 record despite the absence of four starters — three were lost to injury and one to academic issues. “[M’Kaela’s] definitely an asset to have on the court because usually your best players are not your best head cases,” McMillan said.

“M’Kaela’s the best of both. She had a good leader last year to show her the ropes as a sophomore but this year she’s really stepped up.”

Crossland’s veteran quartet keeps it serious There’s certainly been a lot of winning in the Crossland High School gymnasium during the past two fall seasons. After completing an undefeated regular season last year, the Cavaliers’ girls volleyball team is 8-0 this fall, poised to repeat the feat.

Selina Smith’s team is led by a group of four seniors — setter Sabrina Towson, right-side hitter Desirae Mitchell, left-side hitter Terra Harper and outside hitter Erin Carr — that have adopted their coach’s one day at a time attitude.

“We’re not taking anybody lightly,” Smith said. “We’re just continuing to focus on what we have to do and playing to our ability.”

Crossland’s junior varsity team is also unbeaten, something Smith said is no coincidence.

“The girls ... are feeding into it,” Smith said. “The JV girls are ... seeing what it takes.”

opportunities that the line provided,” said Wilson, whose team converted 11 of 17 third down attempts. “I’m so excited for the guys because they’ve worked so hard. I honestly think we have a very good football team that is getting better every week. We have to build off of this.”

Bowie State set the tone on the opening possession of the game as it went 84 yards in 3 minutes, 10 seconds and scored on Jefferson’s 4-yard run.

Later in the quarter, Brown, who ran for 102 yards, scored on an 8-yard pass from Bennett to cap a 16-play, 73-yard drive. Midway through the second, Mario Diaz-Aviles hit a 25-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs a 17-0 lead.

A Bennett interception late in the half led to a Johnson C. Smith field goal attempt, but it was blocked.

Bowie State added an insurance touchdown late in the third quarter on a 35-yard catch and run by senior tight end Khari Lee. Charles H. Flowers High School graduate Austin Jacques returned home with Johnson C. Smith and played well in front of his family members and against high school friends. The standout linebacker recorded a game-high 23 tackles.

“You don’t get many chances like this to come home as a college football player,” Jacques said. “We don’t play Bowie State every year and we definitely don’t play up here every season. It was a great opportunity to come up and play my heart out for my mom and dad.”

Dreaming beyond the rainbow n

“For Colored Girls” breaks tradition of usual theater BY

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Laurel Mill Playhouse will illustrate varying shades of the African-American female experience in its upcoming choreopoem production.

The piece, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf,” is a series of monologues that use staging and blocking to add movement to the prose and poetry within. Though there are seven cast members performing, there is no overarching story with beginning, middle and end.

“The first thing that struck me was the structure and poetry,” said director Michael Hartsfield, “it doesn’t have your traditional

plot. It’s seven women who really take on different personas throughout the piece.”

Hartsfield has directed with Laurel Mill Playhouse for several years, and over time has developed a relationship with the administrative members, making it easier to bring pieces like “For Colored Girls” that break tradition.

“Luckily, since I do have a good relationship with the theater, [Public Liaison Maureen Rogers] trusts me,” he said, “and I can often bring her pieces I would like to do and she rarely tells me no.”

Hartsfield made sure to include a diverse group of black women in the cast, resulting in an age range of 19 to 65. While some remembered when it was originally produced, others were only vaguely familiar with the premise.

“I’ve always heard about it and have seen the Tyler Perry movie,” stage manager Patrice Woody said, “but I never really knew what it

was about until I started working with Mike.

It’s dramatic, it’s serious and it just gives you an insight into what colored women have gone through and still go through today.”

Woody has worked with Laurel Mill Playhouse for four years, ever since her daughter first appeared in a production of “Peter Pan”

It’s present day in New York City and some students have gathered in the basement of the Holy Cross Catholic Church for a youth group therapy session. A number of them, such as Benjamin, are victims of abuse, while others deal with suffering through day-to-day racial prejudice and drug use.

This is the scene for the University of Maryland’s School of Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies’ production of “The Me Nobody Knows.”

The Clarice will house the musical from Oct. 10 to Oct. 17 in the Kay Theatre. Tickets will be $10 for students and $25 for nonstudents.

The show, a musical collection of snippets into children’s lives, explores the everyday effects of racial prejudice and bigotry, according to an explanation written by show co-director Scot Reese. The musical is based on a book of the same title, an anthology of stories edited and compiled by teacher Stephen M. Joseph based on the true lives of — and written by — New York City public school children.

The first production of the Tony-nominated and OBIE Award-winning musical, by Gary William Friedman and Will Holt, occurred off-Broadway in 1970 for seven months before opening on Broadway. The musical later became internationally known and the German production featured a young Donna Summer as Catherine.

Reese said the play is meant to “explode” the idea that Americans are living in a post-racial

world, after America showed racial contention in recent events like the Trayvon Martin court case and the Ferguson protests this summer.

“I hope [the audience] will have a great conversation after they see the musical and speak openly about things like Ferguson,” Reese said. “Whether you’re black, white, Asian, Latino, we can all feel together.”

University of Maryland theater student Tendo Nsubuga portrays the character of Benjamin, a 15-year-old boy who lives in an abusive household. Benjamin receives the support he needs from his sister Lillie Mae and is mentored by Lillian, a young girl who acts as a leader for the group.

Nsubuga said he and the cast received a note from Reese about how people who are more affluent may unintentionally act when put near real children and adults living in similar situations to those portrayed in the musical.

“We might give people living in these situations labels and try to distance ourselves,” said Nsubuga. “They’re victims of their environment. I think it’s just a different perspective.”

Reese said two casts worked through the issues to prepare for some of the issues the musical had to cover. “The Me Nobody Knows” is special because it has an entire understudy cast to aid the regular cast, with each performance switching between the understudy and the regular cast.

“It’s great watching the other cast learn and grow from the performance [of the cast on stage],” said Reese. “Most plays just have one or two understudies; it’s amazing to see how an entire cast of understudies portrays the musical.”

Nsubuga said he put a lot of himself into the role and was able to relate to Benjamin to a degree

— also directed by Hartsfield. Her daughter also appears in this production, as the Lady in Yellow.

“I’m young still, I’m 19 years old, and there’s definitely a lot of peer pressure and wanting to fit in with society,” said Nicole Woody. “My character, Lady in Yellow, starts out very naïve and definitely goes through a journey of womanhood — I can definitely relate.”

“For Colored Girls” first premiered on Broadway in 1976, and previously existed in the form of separate works before it was assembled into its “choreopoem” form. Almost four decades old, the piece invites analysis of what has remained the same through near half of a century in the country.

“It makes you think not only about what’s still within the text right now,” said Yvonne Paretzky, who plays the Lady in Brown, “but what would be different if she were to write it today. A lot of it remains valid, but a lot is also focused on black women’s relationship with men, which today I don’t know if it would be such a huge part of the focus.”

While women of all backgrounds can relate to something in the production — and men can certainly take something away, as well — the monologues were created with the experience of the African-American woman in mind. As a white man, Hartsfield made it clear to his cast from day one that the direction he could provide could reach a certain point, but that it was up to them to give the roles

“People that know me well as Tendo will see me in Benjamin through a lot of the text,” said Nsubuga.

The actors perform all the music played on stage live — the singing and the instrumental parts, Reese said. The music combines rap, jazz, classical fugues and rock to express the pain and passion of the children as they struggle through their surroundings.

While Reese said he has no favorite part and thinks the show works well as a whole, acting-wise and thought-wise, Nsubuga said he thought the language used through the text was the most powerful part.

“The language is powerful. It’s not your usual play with a linear plot, there’s a lot of anecdotes and metaphors,” said Nsubuga. “Hopefully the audience sees between the lines of the text.”

Nsubuga said audiences attending the show should open their mind to looking at things from another perspective. Reese agreed, stating audiences should also look forward to the actors’ portrayals.

“Come and get engaged by the amazing talent of our new generation,” said Reese.

The audience should also brace themselves, though, according to Nsubuga.

“Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster,” said Nsubuga.

their full meaning and emotion.

“I had feelings about the poetry and a vision for what the show could be,” he said, “but there were certain things as far as content that, as a white man, I can only take so far. They’ve been wonderful in offering their input so we could really bring it to fruition and it didn’t become a onedimensional staged reading.”

The women have done just that, infusing the experiences of the Lady in Red through the Lady in Purple with their own — resulting in a raw production that invites reflection in the audience as well as the cast members themselves.

“From the first time I saw it until now, as an actor I’ve definitely grown,” said Nicole. “I can see how each woman who plays one of the colors brings so much life into it. It’s scary because this could be something going on in their real life — it’s gotten so real.”

The format certainly differs from “The Music Man” or “Mouse Trap,” but the risk is worth taking in order to tell the story of a group in society whose experiences are often overlooked in traditional theater.

By including “For Colored Girls,” Laurel Mill Playhouse shows they are interested in producing productions that are representative of all walks of life, said Hartsfield.

“They’ve really made an effort to broaden both their demographic base – in choosing plays that will appeal to different age and ethnic groups – and their Avantgarde appeal,” Hartsfield said. “They’ve chosen riskier, not as well-known plays, and I think this piece fills that need I think art should have, to push the envelope.”

All in the family Sing for the moment The Tantallon Players in Fort Washington always put on a good show, and their most recent, which opened this past weekend, is no exception.

“August: Osage County,” is a very funny — yet, very dramatic — Pulitzer- and Tony Award-winning play written by Tracy Letts. A film version of the show came out in 2013, which was nominated for several awards, including Best Actress for Meryl Streep and Best Supporting Actress for Julia Roberts.

The play centers around a very dysfunctional family who come together after a tragedy. The matriarch of the family, who is suffering from oral cancer, is usually high all of the time on pain medication, while her children and grandchildren go at each other for one reason or another.

The show runs at the Harmony Hall Regional Center in Fort Washington through this weekend.

Tickets are $12-$15. For more information, visit tantallonplayers.org.

English tenor Mark Padmore, known for his work in song and oratorio, is set to perform with pianist Jonathan Biss at 8 p.m. on Friday at the Gildenhorn Recital Hall at The Clarice in College Park.

The duo will perform Schumann’s “Liederkreis, Op. 24,” and “Sechs Gedichte und Requiem, Op. 90,” along with Tippett’s “Boyhood’s End,” and Faure’s “La Bonne Chanson, Op. 61.”

Padmore studied clarinet and piano before going to King’s Col-

lege in Cambridge. He has performed in such operas as “Don Giovanni,” “Jephthah,” and “Platee.”

Biss was born into a musical family. His parents were both violinists while his grandmother was a well-known cellist. Biss has performed with numerous orchestras around the world.

On Saturday, both Padmore and Biss will conduct public master classes at The Clarice.

Tickets for the show are $25,

Hamlet, played by Michael J. Dombroski, and Ophelia, played by Chelsie Lloyd, dance in the Off the Quill production of “Hamlet.”

It’s true that William Shakespeare’s “Hamlet” has been performed more times than there are people in Norway, but that’s what truly makes the Bard’s classic tale so great — it can be performed so many different ways, it’s almost impossible to get it wrong.

Well, the Mel Gibson and Ethan Hawke versions of the show missed the target, but productions such as Kenneth Branagh’s or Sir Laurence Olivier’s are really spot on.

As is Off The Quill’s produc-

tion, which can be seen through Sunday at the Greenbelt Arts Center.

Follow along as young Hamlet tries to avenge the death of his father, the king, at the hands of his uncle, Claudius. Hamlet himself goes down a lot of dark personal passages and lashes out at almost everyone he knows, with the exception of his friend, Horatio.

Tickets for the show range from $12 to $20. For more information, visit GreenbeltArtsCenter. org or call 301-441-8770, ext. 2.
