Chief: County fire stations understaffed
Lining up to dance in Glenarden
Bowie man’s 30-minute wait for ambulance highlights need for more personnel, officials say n
BY SOPHIE PETIT STAFF WRITER
When Vail Clemence returned home from a July softball game complaining of chest pains, his wife, Barbara Clemence, said it took a miracle for him to survive what a doctor called “a severe heart attack” after waiting more than a half hour for an ambulance to arrive at his Bowie home. While Clemence, 82, awaited paramedics, emergency personnel were battling an active fire on Church Road, during which 17 people were dispatched from Bowie stations, leaving the nearby Belair station unmanned and Bowie’s
three other stations understaffed, Prince George’s County fire/EMS officials said. “There’s no life saving involved if you don’t have a driver for the ambulance,” Barbara Clemence said. “I’m thinking about next time. We’ve got to do something here. We lucked out.” The nearly fatal incident underscored the need for more personnel, said county fire/EMS chief Marc Bashoor at the Aug. 5 Bowie City Council meeting. Vail Clemence had a heart attack during the first ten minutes of another emergency call when there was no time to call in staff from other locations to fill the empty spots left at Bowie stations, Bashoor said. “All resources available had been committed to that fire,” he said. “We simply do not have enough people to staff every piece of apparatus across the county.”

Prince George’s County parents will have more contacts for assistance on the Board of Education in the 2013-2014 school year with the addition of four appointed members this year, officials say. “The four appointed members function as at-large board members,” said Christian Rhodes, County Executive Rushern Baker’s III (D) education advisor. “Their constituency is anyone in the county, the entire school district.” New legislation passed in April added four appointed board seats to the board, which includes nine district elected memPHOTOS BY BILL RYAN/THE GAZETTE

For Katie Pannell of Landover Hills, line dancing is more than just a workout with strangers. “We just call each other family,” Pannell said. Pannell, 66, said she did not go out much after retiring from her customer representative job at the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration in December. However, when she discovered classes for senior line dancing — a group dance with a repeated sequence of steps — at the Glenarden/Theresa Banks Complex on McLain Avenue, she started showing up each morning at 8 a.m. Pannell isn’t alone. According to center officials, the daily line dancing class started for seniors in late June has exploded in popularity,

Lanice Lancaster of Forestville said she feels safer walking to and from the Forestville Shopping Center with her daughter Aaliyah, 2, now that a midblock crossing signal has been installed. “It was very hard because we had to wait for that [light] to turn,” Lancaster said, pointing to the traffic signal at Walters Lane and Md. 4. Many people didn’t bother waiting to cross at Donnell Drive or Walters Lane before an $186,000 midblock crossing signal was activated Aug. 6 in Forestville, said John Richardson, who chaired the

He said that 410 pedestrians a day would cross between the two intersections around the spot where the midblock crossing signal was installed. Between 2006 and 2010, there were 15 pedestrian crashes and seven of them were fatal, Richardson said. He said there were another two fatalities in 2011.

Bowie hosts 10th annual Back to School Bash on Saturday Bowie area students and parents are welcome to the Annual Back to School Bash at the Bowie Gymnasium where they can win prizes and play games from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, said Phyllis Berger, a senior gymnasium supervisor. The event is the gym’s largest and last year drew a crowd of more than 3,000 people, which increases every year, Berger said. The first 350 children between 4- and 10-years-old will get free backpacks full of school supplies, she said. Residents will also be able to dispose of any old electronic equipment for free, she said. The event is free and open to the public, but Berger said attendees are asked to bring one nonperishable food item that will be donated to Bowie’s food pantry. For more information, call the gym at 301-809-2388.

Bowie yards aim for the wild side City seeks community certification for plant- and animal-friendly habitats n
BY SOPHIE PETIT STAFF WRITER
From the road, the Nadlers’ house on Heatherstone Drive in Bowie looks like many in the neighborhood, but step into the family’s backyard, and the plants are teeming with butterflies, birds and bees. Paul and Anna Nadler’s home is one of 118 homes in Bowie recognized as a Certified Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation, a certification Bowie has been working to acquire as a city since 2009, said Tiffany Wright, the city’s watershed manager. As humans and invasive species encroach further into plant and animal habitat, those native species are pushed out, said Paul Nadler. “We’re losing them... . If you want your grandchildren to see a butterfly or see bees pollinate, it’s important that you give them something to eat and somewhere to be,” he said. To meet the federation’s Community Wildlife Habitat requirements, based on Bowie’s population size of about 55,000 people, the city must have at least 200 homes, six community sites such as churches and parks, and five schools each certified as wildlife-friendly, according to city planning department documents. So far, the city needs four community sites and 82 more homes to qualify, Wright said. The city doesn’t receive any concrete incentives for offering the certification, but it fits with Bowie’s overall green image, Wright said. The city is recognized by the national program
Tree City USA, offers an annual Green Expo, designed the 2011 City Hall building to save energy and has a subcommittee called Bowie Gardens 4 Wildlife, whose members suggested the certification, Wright said. “It’s pretty self-motivated,” she said. “If you decide where to move and these things appeal to you, it’s part of that. There’s sort of this benefit to attracting people.” There are some challenges that could involve the habitats, officials said. For the past decade, animal control officials said calls about unwanted wild animals on their properties have doubled, and they encourage residents to deter wild animals rather than entice them into their yards. “We all love animals, but at the same time you have to understand there’s public safety involved,” said Mike Morreale, a city animal control officer, who estimates the agency receives about 12 calls per day about unwanted animals, mainly groundhogs and possums. Since the Nadlers’ home was certified in 2005, they have installed 10 bird feeders; more than a dozen birdhouses; a shallow, man-made stream; a rain barrel; and dozens of native plants, they said. As the couple added items to their yard, they implemented measures to keep down the number of unwanted animals. For example, the Nadlers don’t fill their bird feeders with food that squirrels like such as peanuts, and to not attract raccoons, cats or predator birds, they don’t keep fish in their man-made stream, they said. “If you don’t care for a certain animal, then you can do things to keep them out,” Paul Nadler said.

North Forestville Elementary School has a new neighbor. The North Forestville Community Center, which unofficially opened June 17, is attached to the school and will be sharing its gymnasium with the school. A July 31 grand opening featured a DJ, dancing and martial arts demonstrations. Cynthia Jackson, North Forestville Community Center director, said she plans to offer special programs and classes after school that students can attend, such as dancing, karate and arts and crafts. “We have about 324 kids that need a place to go after school. We have games for them to play. They can do homework,” Jackson said. “We can create different programs for them, just to keep their minds busy after school.” Sasha Desrouleaux, citizen services specialist for County Councilman Derrick Davis’ office, said the 13,000 square-foot facilty cost $3.8 million to build.

The Maryland-National Capital Park Police held a Community Day on Saturday with one goal in mind: educating the public about their role in Prince George’s County. And with about 500 attendees at the event at Watkins Regional Park in Upper Marlboro, many said the mission was accomplished. “I have a better idea of what the park police are all about,” said Ellis Lee of Mitchellville, adding that he enjoyed the free hamburgers along with the informative aspects of the event. Lt. Brian Waters of the Maryland-National Capital Park Police, Prince George’s County Division, said the event — which included police demonstrations and activities for children — was about increasing community awareness of the functions of the park police and showing how park police collaborate with other agencies. “This community event is more than just showcasing park police. It really demonstrates the coalition of public safety. They all work together. We all work

together,” Waters said. The event was the first of its kind for the department, but officials said they hope to hold it annually. Shirley Brown of Fort Washington brought her two 5-yearold grandchildren to the event and said the most useful information she gained was at the fire-prevention table. “They need to learn their address,” Brown said regarding what her grandchildren learned at an information table. “They learned to phone 911 [and] what to do if you smell smoke.” Waters said the 101 park police officers who serve Prince George’s do everything that typical police officers do, but their jurisdiction is in and near parks. “We work in cooperation with other agencies on task forces, and we have street jurisdictions immediately adjacent to parks,” Waters said. Chief Larry Brownlee of the Maryland-National Capital Park Police said park police have been around for 60 years and cover a territory of 27,000 acres in Prince George’s County “A lot of people don’t know the park police,” Brownlee said. “This is our small way of saying thank you and to introduce ourselves to people in the community.”
that they can attend various activities. “It’s like a drop-in community center,” she said. “As long as they have an ID they can come into the center.” The center will have open gym for those ages six to 17, Ramos said. Ramos said Jackson has some activities already set up for children to sign up for, but is working on getting more
into place. Principal Melissa Ellis of North Forestville Elementary School said she was excited about the benefits the community center offers, but she had concerns about the community center being attached to the school regarding student safety and sharing a parking lot. “If I have an event that’s after hours and they’re open, then [parking] may be a challenge,” Ellis said. Ramos said that as partners they need to keep the lines of communication open so that the school and community center can co-host events or not schedule them for the same dates. Ramos said she saw the community making good use of the center within the first couple days of its unofficial opening in June as children asked if the center was open and if they could play basketball. “All of a sudden we had 20 kids because they were all texting each other to come to the center,” Ramos said. alarkins@gazette.net

The founder of the successful Amateur Athletic Union boys’ basketball program D.C. Assault was arrested Friday in Washington, D.C., as part of a yearlong Drug Enforcement Agency investigation, according to court records. A criminal complaint says DEA agents found a kilogram of suspected cocaine, 100 grams of suspected heroin, drug paraphernalia, and a .40-caliber handgun at the Upper Marlboro home of Herman Curtis Malone. Malone, 45 — who is known as Curtis — and Micah Jerry Bidgell, 46, of Washington, D.C., are accused of dealing drugs.

Washington Gas Light Co. trying to enter natural gas fueling market BY KATE ALEXANDER AND MARLENA CHERTOCK STAFF WRITERS
Washington Gas Light Co. wants to get into the business of providing compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling to the general public, a move that has private industry and consumer advocates crying foul. The utility has asked Maryland’s Public Service Commission for permission to open two of its CNG fueling stations to the public and build custom compression facilities as part of a pending request to increase its rates and generate about $30 million more in revenue. Its case is still pending. At issue is a regulated utility moving into a market where service is already provided by third-party businesses, and asking ratepayers potentially to subsidize the move, Maryland People’s Counsel Paula Carmody said. Maryland’s Office of People’s Counsel opposes Washington Gas Light’s request, she said. “Why should a regulated gas distribution company with a monopoly go into a competitive business?” Carmody asked. “This is a competitive business. It is not part of providing gas service to customers and customers should not be paying for it.” Competitors in the CNG market fear that allowing Washington Gas Light into the game will give the regulated utility unfair advantage in an already competitive market. Brett Barry, policy and regulatory adviser from Clean Energy, said Washington Gas Light is asking to overstep its authority. Clean Energy is a natural gas fuel provider for transportation customers. “They’re able to utilize their monopoly powers to undercut the free market,” Barry said. “The utility is granted its monopoly status to fulfill gas distribution duties and not to start competing in nonregulated activities. It’s just inappropriate for them to be involved like this. It’s beyond the scope of their responsibility.” Those who favor allowing Washington Gas Light to provide public CNG fueling — including the staff of the PSC — say it will foster greater use of natural gas vehicles. Washington Gas Light did not return multiple requests for comment. Fueling station providers like Clean Energy receive the fuel they sell from utilities like Washington Gas Light, Barry said. Clean Energy has over 450 fueling stations in the nation. “Every time we have to put in a natural gas fueling station,
we have to go to the utility and ask what the pressure and line is,” Barry said. “So we’re tipping them off to our potential customers and they can poach them from us.” Carmody said there is a national trend of regulated utilities seeking to penetrate the CNG market and the National Association of State Utility Consumer Advocates has taken a stand against it. The National Association passed a resolution in June against allowing monopolies like Washington Gas Light to enter the market. Traditional ratepayers could end up subsidizing the stations that perform poorly and the stations could cause an overlapping of monopoly and competitive utility roles, the resolution said. “Natural gas refueling stations should be a competitive business. As such, retail ratepayers should not be required to subsidize, either directly or indirectly, any gas distribution utilities’ natural gas refueling stations,” the resolution stated.

Health care access soon will get easier for Greenbelt residents. Community Clinic Inc., a Silver Spring-based nonprofit organization that operates three medical clinics geared toward low- and middle-income families in Montgomery County, is opening a new clinic in Franklin Park, a residential apartment community of about 6,000 people in Greenbelt. Jose Luis Diaz, CCI’s marketing and communications strategies director, said the clinic will be ready to open to patients by Monday. A grand opening ceremony was held on Aug. 7. Seventy percent of the children in Franklin Park receive free and reduced meals in school, as part of a federal program to provide meals to children of low-income families, said Maria Tildon, senior vice president of public policy and community affairs for CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, one of several financial contributors to the $2.3 million project. Tildon said low-income families tend to have less access to medical care. “This facility is going to pro-
to compete, private investment has decreased, Barry said. “We really want to maintain a level playing field,” he said. “When you have a monopoly enter the market it discourages investment. It actually has a negative effect.” When monopolies enter the CNG market it can deter future companies from building in this area, according to Bryn Marley, a regional operations manager at Blu. LNG, a natural gas fuel provider. Many natural gas retailers have joined forces to combat these potential utility monopolies, Barry said. Clean Energy and Blu. are fighting the case in Maryland. They remain in contact and coordinate efforts when a utility tries to get into the market. Two public hearings in Washington Gas Light Co.’s case were held on Tuesday and Wednesday. Barry, who testified to the commission on Aug. 7, said he will inform Clean Energy headquarters about the Washington Gas Light plans and figure out a next step. Marley will be submitting written comments.
vide huge, huge support to the people living in this community,” Tildon said. Diaz said the clinic would provide another option for uninsured and underinsured residents who currently travel to CCI’s facilities in Silver Spring, Takoma Park and Gaithersburg. Additionally, the Greenbelt clinic will be the first CCI to provide medical, dental and behavioral health in the same facility. “That’s one of the things we’re really excited about,” Diaz said. “This is the first site to have collocated services. It really makes sense to offer all these services under one roof.” The 7,600-square-foot building includes 12 examination rooms, three dentist chairs, two laboratories, and offices used for counseling and administrative services. County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D) said improving health care opportunities is one of his priorities. “It’s not just about health care. It’s about public safety. It’s

The county contributed $300,000 toward construction and operating costs. Other donors include CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield, United Health Foundation, Adventist HealthCare, Dimensions Healthcare System and Riverside Health. The clinic will be the 10th Federally Qualified Health Center or Look-Alike in the county, according to the Maryland Health Access Assessment.

Randy Windsor, 61, of Upper Marlboro, who teaches the program along with Denise Bryant of Bowie, said seven people participated in the first session, but attendance has grown to more than 20 people per class. “I had no idea it was going to blow up like this,” said Windsor, who started line dancing about five years ago.

STATIONS
Continued from Page A-1 Instead of dispatching an ambulance from one of Bowie’s four fire stations, one had to be called in from Springdale, about 10 miles away, Bashoor said. Although Bashoor said that was the first time an incident like that had happened, the county fire/EMS department has been understaffed for years as firefighter volunteerism and funding from all levels of government have declined nationwide, department officials said. According to Prince George’s County Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department records, Barbara Clemence called 911 at 1:14 p.m. The call
SIGNAL
Continued from Page A-1 George’s County has the highest number of pedestrian fatalities per 100,000 people in Maryland, according to a Jan. 2 report from Prince George’s County Government. The new signal allows pedestrians to activate the new crossing signal, which will flash overhead lights on Md. 4 in both directions to alert motorists when a pedestrian is crossing, said Kellie Boulware, spokewoman for the State Highway Administration. Boulware said that the midblock crossing was part of a larger about $25 million to $30 million
ter employee, said the class will be moved to the center’s gym due to its growing attendance. Seniors pay a weekly $10 fee to participate in the class and other programs at the center. She said scheduling the class in the morning has helped attract senior citizens who want to avoid night driving and the afternoon heat. Goldsmith, 62, who participates in the program, said the class has become “a network of friends.” “It gives somebody like me something to do. [It] provides me with an activity that I don’t
have to bring a man, a date or a friend,” she said. Class participants touted the social and health benefits of the classes. Carolyn Smallwood, 64, a Glenarden councilwoman, said the class has helped improve her cardiovascular health. The class participates in a line dance social the first Sunday of each month, which is attended by more than 100 people of all ages and has been running since May, Goldsmith said. On July 31, Windsor was helping the class prepare for the Aug. 4 social, working on the
moves for singer Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines,” a popular song ranked atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “If you can count to eight and you know what a quarter [turn], a half, a three-quarter and a whole is, he can teach you to dance,” Goldsmith said of Windsor’s classes. Pannell, who described herself as shy, said she felt confident heading into Sunday’s social, her first. “It’s a lot of dances and a lot of steps, but once you see someone doing it, you just go with it,” Pannell said.
was transferred to Bowie’s Belair station, exactly one mile from their house on Madeley Lane, and 37 minutes later, an ambulance arrived and took him to Anne Arundel Medical Center. The county’s goal response time is no more than seven minutes, Bashoor said. In 2008, the county set a goal in its Public Safety Facilities Master Plan — which sets guidelines for police, fire/EMS, correctional, sheriff and emergency management services — to employ 1,300 career firefighters. Currently, it employs 814, Bashoor said. Each of the county’s 45 stations is generally staffed with four career firefighters during weekdays during the day and up to two at nights and on weekends, but when career firefight-
ers respond to a call, no one is left to man the stations except volunteers who don’t have set schedules, Bashoor said. “It’s nearly impossible to guarantee when they will or will not be available,” he said. There are about 40 reliable volunteer firefighters at the Bowie stations, said Bowie Volunteer Fire Department Chief Lee Havens. The department needs 100 to 120 volunteers to function adequately, he said. To help meet the manpower need, the department is in the process of hiring a volunteer recruiter and working to staff all stations with six career firefighters to ensure that at least two will remain at the station when a call goes out, Bashoor said.
But that will likely take several years as the department goes through each station one by one to determine which need more staffing first based on call volume and population density, he said. The department will also depend on calling in firefighters from other counties to fill gaps so no station is left empty, even during an emergency, he said. “Collectively we’re doing the best we can with the limited resources we have.” Response time has steadily improved over the past decade due to more fire stations and paramedic units, Bashoor said. “I’m just terrified that what happened the other day is going to happen again,” said City Councilwoman Diane M. Polangin (Dist. 2).
project funded by the SHA to increase pedestrian safety between Forestville Road and Silver Hill Road along Md. 4 in Forestville. “You have a highly concentrated residential area across from a commercial center,” Boulware said. “People would start to walk across the middle of the roadway.” Richardson said the plans included hiker biker trails, curbs on both sides of the road and smaller shoulders and lanes. Damien Thorne, who works at the Forestville Shopping Center said the new signal was convenient because he used to have trouble crossing the street. “Sometimes when the little yellow lights were blinking [cars] wouldn’t stop,” Thorne said.
BOARD
Continued from Page A-1 that’s all of us,” Valentine said. T. Carter Ross, parent of two daughters at Hyattsville Elementary, said the appointees will increase parental representation. “I believe it gives more opportunity for accountability,” Ross said. “You have more people to whom a parent can make an appeal, both on the board and by bringing the county executive and the County Council into the fold via their appointees.” The school system has undergone numerous leadership shifts since 2002 when at the urging of then-Representative Baker, the General Assembly replaced the county’s elected board with an appointed one. Following the 2005 resignation of Superintendent Andre Hornsby, the appointed board was replaced in 2006 with an at-large elected board.
In 2010, the format was switched to district elections, which lasted until the new legislation took effect this June requiring the county executive to appoint three board members — one each with experience in education, higher education or business and administration of a large business, nonprofit or governmental entity. The County Council is required to appoint one board member who is a parent of a child in the school system. David Cahn, co-chair of the education advocacy group “Citizens for an Elected Board,” said the appointed board dilutes the elected member’s authority. “The elected board members are accountable to the voters who elected them to office,” he said. “But the appointed board members are only accountable to the county executive, or in one case the County Council who appointed them.”

Last year, the city’s largest employer, health care company Inovalon, cited concerns about limited public transit that hinders its 700 employees from traveling between two buildings the PROVIDING company leases in the city, SHUTTLE and from traveling to restauFOR LARGE rants and stores. EMPLOYER IS So, beginning in September, Bowie will offer InovaSMART, NOW lon employees a free shuttle HELP REST bus service, with stops at OF THE CITY Bowie Town Center, the Northview Drive Park and Ride and the company’s two buildings. The benefits of keeping the business is well worth the $200,000 per year the city — which has a budget of $59 million — will be paying the shuttle service. After all, not only does retaining the business allow the city to keep getting tax revenue from Inovalon, but it also keeps the city from dealing with vacant office space and provides more customers for other city businesses. The shuttle bus contractor will have an initial sixmonth contract that can be extended for up to four years, allowing for changes should city officials or Inovalon decide the plan isn’t working. And although there are no current plans to provide shuttle services for any other company, officials are considering expanding the shuttle’s route in the Melford business park (where an Inovalon office is located), which could eventually aid other businesses. The move shows large employers that Bowie officials value their presence, which will go a long way in attracting other businesses. The move also shows, however, the public transit challenges in the city overall. While the shuttle service is a wonderful strategy to retain Inovalon, there are many other businesses — and residents — who have the same complaints about public transportation in Bowie. Fortunately, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority recently conducted a study in the city to find ways to improve services and to attract more riders. WMATA provides several bus lines that go through Bowie and are referred to as the Bowie Lines; there are two other WMATA buses that include parts of Bowie, but weren’t the primary focus of the report released in June regarding Bowie service. The report included recommendations to improve service hours, increase service frequency, expand service hours to Bowie State University, provide weekend service (the current Bowie Lines operate only on weekdays), change routes and add bus stops. For years, high-school students in the city have complained that it’s difficult to get a weekend or after-school job without having access to a personal vehicle because of limited public transportation. And, as the report notes, some classes at Bowie State end at 10:05 p.m., although bus service at the university ends at 10 p.m. Such changes don’t come with a small price tag, however. Just extending the service at Bowie State for 15 minutes at night to allow students time to get to the bus after class would cost WMATA nearly $77,000 per year. Implementing all the recommendations in the report would cost several million dollars. That’s a hefty price tag for WMATA, which in May reported being $22.5 million below budget in total operating revenue for fiscal 2013. Some argue the improvements would be a waste in Bowie, where daily bus ridership on all the Bowie Lines totals around 2,000; whereas WMATA averages up to 8,000 people on some individual lines. But Inovalon shows the investment by WMATA is worth the expense. The limited bus options in Bowie likely contribute to the low ridership in the city — and surely factor into businesses’ decisions when deciding where to open up shop. “Many riders reported that buses on the Bowie Lines often come late, sometimes early, and sometimes not at all. Lack of adherence to the schedule was verified by WMATA’s on-time performance data,” the report stated. Kudos to Bowie for finding a quick fix to a potentially big problem. Hopefully, WMATA follows through with the report’s recommendations. After all, having more than 90 restaurants, 200 shops, a major county mall, a university and numerous recreation options in the fifth largest city in the state does little good if people have trouble getting to it all.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR
Leaving Maryland Dear John, I mean Maryland, I am leaving you, and yes it is you, not me. I am not the one who has changed. You have become unrecognizable to me. While I have done nothing but contribute to this relationship, you have continually exploited my good intentions. I have supported you with my hard-earned pay. I have been a model citizen who has
not been any sort of burden to you. I have faithfully obeyed your laws. I have voted in every election to confirm my commitment to you. I have contributed monetarily to your never-ceasing increases of my tax obligation. But now I have finally realized that none of this matters to you. I am just a means to your ends. So, I have decided that I can no longer support you. You
will no longer have me around to mistreat. I must admit that I do this with a heavy heart. You were once such a wonderful place to reside. I enjoyed the rural gem you once were. But now you have become an urban disaster. I don’t feel safe in my community anymore. I don’t have the right to protect myself or my family from the element
David L. Gardner, Bryans Road
Maryland’s environmental austerity Every generation has its doomsday scenario. The invention of gunpowder was supposed to end civilization. In 1798, the Rev. Thomas Malthus convinced the world that overpopulation was outstripping food production leading to apocalyptic famines. When I was a kid, people built underground bomb shelters and schoolchildren practiced “duck and cover” against the coming nuclear holocaust. Later it was pesticides and food chemicals that were supposed to wipe us out (I remember MY MARYLAND spending three BLAIR LEE months on a brown rice diet). Now it’s global warming, renamed climate change because, maybe, the planet isn’t warming after all. This July was the first since 2009 without a 100-degree day. Apparently the ice caps are melting and sea levels are rising. (Curiously, the Chesapeake shoreline is sinking faster than the bay is rising. Is that climate change, too?) What no one really knows is whether climate change is man-made or simply part of nature’s eternal flux. Nor do we know whether mankind, by itself, can reverse climate change. But the folks who run Maryland aren’t waiting to find out. They’ve committed our state to an environmental austerity program that, frankly, doesn’t make any sense. For instance, thanks to the O’Malley administration’s “war on sprawl,” the single-family detached home will soon be a luxury affordable only to the rich. Maryland’s new septic tank ban, stormwater controls, nutrient controls and refusal to provide infrastructure (schools and roads) outside public water/sewer districts are designed to “redirect” growth back to the cities. In other words, our grandchildren will live in condos and apartments clustered around Metro stops in the “sustainable, walkable communities” the social engineers have designed for them.
Even worse, last month Gov. Martin O’Malley committed us to renewable energy goals that are as likely as the O’s playing the Nats in the World Series. The green lobby’s great dream is converting us from fossil (carbon) fuels to renewables (wind, solar, hydro, biomass, etc.). In 2004, Gov. Robert Ehrlich Jr. and the legislature forced Maryland’s electric power companies (Pepco, BG&E, Potomac Edison, Delmarva, etc.) to get 7.5 percent of their energy from renewables by 2019. Not to be outdone, in 2008, Gov. O’Malley increased the mandate to 20 percent from renewable by 2022 with an additional requirement that solar be 10 percent of the renewables. These targets won wild applause from the environmentalists and looked good in O’Malley’s re-election brochures, but were utterly fanciful. Today (2012 data), Maryland’s electric power comes from coal (42.7 percent), nuclear (35.9 percent), natural gas (13.1 percent) and renewables (7.9 percent). Not only are renewables trending down from their 9.3 percent share in 2011, but only a tiny fraction are so-called “good renewables” (wind and solar). Two-thirds of Maryland’s renewable energy is hydro (dams and water) with most of the rest coming from burning wood, trash and chicken litter. Bottom line, slightly more than 1 percent of Maryland’s energy is coming from wind and solar. Repeat, 1 percent. Clean energy’s real superstar isn’t wind/solar, it’s natural gas, which increased from 3.6 percent of Maryland’s energy (2006) to 13.1 percent (2012). Thanks to deep-well hydraulic shale drilling (fracking), natural gas is abundant and cheap (prices are down 50 percent), undercutting coal and nuclear prices. Natural gas fracking is replacing coalburning power plants, restoring American manufacturing and business by cutting energy costs, lowering trade deficits by serving as an attractive export, boosting the economies of North Dakota and Western Pennsylvania and promises to make America energy independent from foreign oil. But, although Western Maryland sits on top of the rich Marcellus Shale deposit, Maryland government prohibits fracking

pending environmental regulations which, just released, appear to be the nation’s harshest. Instead of fracking, Maryland is turning to offshore windmill farms, which need carbon fuel back-ups, lack transmission lines and, according to a new report, operate at half their projected capacity. But, most importantly, wind and solar are much more expensive than natural gas. Nevertheless, last month O’Malley once again increased Maryland’s renewable mandate to 25 percent of the power companies’ energy supply by 2020. He also wants us to reduce our electric power consumption by turning off lights, using efficient appliances and turning down the A/C (during global warming?). According to O’Malley and the greenies, Maryland is going to teach the world a lesson by single-handedly adopting harsh energy restrictions that cripple our industries and punish our citizens without making any impact, whatsoever, on climate change. Maryland is 1.8 percent of the U.S. population, and the U.S. population is 4.4 percent of the world population. While the rest of the world’s economies belch out smoke and pollutants, Maryland is going to “lead by example,” says O’Malley. And this guy wants to be president? But here’s what really gets me: it’s the oceans of red ink, not sea water, that most threaten our grandchildren. The global warming alarmists don’t care a fig about the global debt crisis, which is totally manmade. If O’Malley and Maryland really want to “lead by example” against a coming apocalypse that we can actually do something about, they should get the state’s fiscal house in order. Real leadership would be convincing an unwilling public that without fiscal austerity, we really are doomed.

With a new name, Capitol Christian Academy enters uncharted territory with first-year football program BY
DAN FELDMAN STAFF WRITER
Capitol Christian Academy — formerly Princeton Day Academy — is launching a football program that will begin competing this fall. How is it going so far? “It’s tough,” Athletic Director Tom Johnson said. “... You’ve got equipment. You’ve got to go out and try to recruit kids to come to your school, for one. It’s really a hurdle. The first year, we’re going to have bumps and bruises.” “It wasn’t difficult at all,” founder and headmaster Van Whitfield said. “Anytime time you start a program anywhere — I don’t care how big the school is or how small the school may be — there’s going to be challenges, but the challenges were no more than they would have been elsewhere. But it’s not been difficult at all.”
It’s no wonder Johnson and Whitfield see opposite sides of the same coin, considering they’re venturing into uncharted territory. While competing as Princeton Day, the school drew national attention for its boys’ basketball program. But coinciding with the school’s name change and move to Landover onto the campus of Jericho Christian Academy, Capitol Christian adding football is a big step. Tasked with coaching the inaugural team is Terry White, who cited assistant coaching experience at St. Vincent Pallotti High School, DeMatha Catholic High School and High Point High School among his qualifications. White also coaches the Howard County Stars in the Grass Roots Youth Football League. “My whole thing in life is meant to not only develop programs that are geared toward developing youth, but football seems to become

New Capitol Heights boxing gym finds quick ‘Answers’ n The Answer Gym fields two boxers that win championships BY
In a matter of just a few tumultuous months last year, Aquille Carr was a member of four different schools ranging from New Jersey to Jacksonville to Baltimore to Prince George’s County. At the end of this year, Quince Orchard’s Adam McLean will have attended his third high school, as will Wheaton’s Michael Patterson, DuVal’s Michael Cunningham, and dozens more. Still others will be at their second, some even their fourth. Transferring at the high school level, what was formerly a last-resort practice, has ostensibly become the new norm, rampant to the point that, as ESPN high school basketball writer Dave Telep put it, “it’s almost abnormal if kids are not transferring, which is really sad. We’re in this cycle where guys are looking for the next best opportunity.” But why now? “Times are changing,” he elaborated. “Things are going downhill and there’s no stopping it. With private schools and prep schools and charter schools, it really is the wild wild West.”

Capitol Heights, as well as all of Prince George’s County and Washington, D.C., has long been a hotbed for boxing talent. A list of decorated names have trained and competed in the area before moving on to bigger and better things, and all of them started out at local gyms. Add another to the list as Kashif Brown and Dante McEast have combined to become co-owners of The Answer Gym (TAG) in Capitol Heights. Brown is the head trainer and McEast is a personal trainer. Together the pair has added one more gym to the growing number of facilities popping up in Southern Prince George’s County. And after only seven months of existence, TAG has something to display in the front window.
Fifteen-year old Kashif Muhammad-Brown Jr. and 10-year old Tyreek Williams both took home title belts in August in the Open Class Division of the 13th annual Ringside World Championships in Independence, Mo. Muhammad-Brown, who goes to Eleanor Roosevelt High School, won his title in the boys’ 15-16, 165-pound Open Division, while Williams captured his belt in the boys’ 9-10, 65-pound Open Division. They were the only Maryland gym to take home two Open Class titles at the tournament. “I’ve been coaching my sons for the past eight or nine years and I’ve come in contact with other kids who were looking for a little more structure than we’ve been getting at other gyms,” Brown said. “The best way to do it is to get out there and do it yourself.” Brown messed around with boxing when he was younger, but never took it too seriously as a competitor. One day, however, his wife brought home a flyer

Shawn Petty’s fantasy clashed with his reality, and he chose practicality. Petty always dreamed about a college career at quarterback, one of the positions he played at Eleanor Roosevelt High School. But the University of Maryland, College Park, which recruited him exclusively as a linebacker, extended his only scholarship offer. He took it, knowing it ended his quarterbacking dreams. Petty practiced at linebacker as a freshman last season, expecting to redshirt. He had experience at the position, earning All-Gazette honors there as a senior in 2011, but he wasn’t quite ready for the college level. Then, quarterback C.J. Brown got hurt. So did his replacement, Perry Hills. As did Devin Burns and then Caleb Rowe. Finally out of quarterbacks, Maryland turned to Petty, who started behind center for the Terrapins’ final four games. Now a sophomore, Petty is back at linebacker, his aspirations of becoming a college quarterback in the rearview mirror. “I got my chance,” Petty said. “I feel like I can put it behind and me, and I feel like I can move forward

Along with McEast and many other helpers, his dream became a reality earlier this year.

A lot of people still don’t know that we’re around,” Brown said. “With it being a new gym, everybody wants to get over there and see what exactly we’ve got going on.

Continued from Page A-9 The Decision, as it has come to be known, has had obvious effects, most notably the consecutive NBA Championships James has lead the Miami Heat in winning. But there has been a quiet one begat down at the grassroots level: the “LeBron effect,” as one Montgomery County football coach labeled it. “Everybody wants to take their talents elsewhere.” “I think a lot of it has to do with what they see in the media,” Seneca Valley football coach Fred Kim said. “Look at the NBA, it’s the cool thing to do. LeBron James withTheDecision.Backinthe’70s and ’80s, you saw guys stay with a team for their entire careers.” Kim argues that James created a ‘Look at me generation’ of athletes who go not where their loyalties lie, but where the best incentives — recruiting options, exposure, championships — are offered. “Sometimes they’re seeking a better academic situation, sometimes it’s where they are athletically,” said former Princeton Day Academy basketball coach, Van Whitfield. “Some are looking for a higher level of competition and some are looking for a better match for their skill set.” Whitfield should know. He took in six transfers just last season alone. This, in turn, has led to public school coaches resorting to a strange practice: recruiting their own kids. “We’re just trying to keep our kids in our school,” Henry A. Wise football coach DaLawn Parrish said. “I don’t think when you get into coaching a public school your mind is set on recruiting kids. If you wanted to do that you would go to a private school or a college.” But with cluster systems, the rise of private schools, consor-

Before the third round of Tyreek’s championship fight, Brown said Tyreek put his mouth piece in but then spit it back out before proclaiming in a loud, squeaky voice, “I want this fight!” “A lot of fathers have been getting involved with boxing, but some can’t really teach, or don’t have the time or they don’t want to pass down the stuff that they’ve learned,” Kevin Williams said. “They’ll teach the kid offense or defense, but won’t teach them the full package. I feel as though we train better than some of the guys that used to box because they want the fighters to fight exactly how they used fight, but every style doesn’t fit everybody.” Kevin Williams said he prides himself on teaching “the sweet science,” and a crafty style of boxing as opposed to a toe-to-
toe style. He’s previously gone to Sugar Ray Leonard Gym and Headbangers before deciding to make the switch to TAG. “I told Kashif that we’ve got a nice foundation and as far as skill and that I think we have some of the best fighters in the area,” Kevin Williams said. “When they opened the gym, I knew what [Kashif] was bringing to the table and he knew what I was bringing to the table.” With two championships to their name in less than a year, TAG is off to a positive start. “We could always do better, but with the addition of more experienced kids, it has given the beginners a lot to shoot for,” Brown said. “I can see the difference. Everyone trains a little harder now and it’s good to be around.”

Quaweay said he was uncertain how Capitol Christian’s status would affect his team’s playoff points. “That’s a huge concern,” Quaweay said. Brown did not return a message seeking comment. Whitfield said he applied for approval, but was uncertain whether the MPSSAA had received it. Princeton Day was approved last year. “I don’t foresee it being a problem,” Whitfield said.

said the team plans to fundraise to cover the costs of competing. “When it comes to the small private schools and everyone is clear at the outset on expectations, expenses, it’s really not that difficult,” Whitfield said. White estimated, of the team’s approximately 34 players, 29 enrolled this year in part because the school now offered a football team. However, White said Capitol Christian — with an enrollment he placed at about 70 — did not add football explicitly to add students. “We saw a significant increase in enrollment well before we started any conversations about football,” Whitfield said. “We were very comfortable with enrollment.”

loyalty to a school there is, which is unfortunate. It’s rare you see a community school anymore.” Kim could only point to two in Montgomery County that he would count as traditional, community schools: Damascus and Poolesville. “You don’t ever hear a Middletown kid going to DeMatha or Bullis,” Kim said. “You’d get your [butt] run out of town.” Middletown, Kim said, “is an anomaly.”
‘There’s a loss of community’ When Seneca Valley running back Kevin Joppy made his move to Quince Orchard for his senior season, there were certain inevitable drawbacks. But for the most part, “everybody still hangs out with Joppy,” Kim said. “We still love him, the kids still talk to him every day.” If that were to happen when Kim was suiting up in a Seneca uniform, “it was ‘Oh my God,’” he said. “He’d have the scarlet letter on him and he’d get his butt kicked. When I was at Seneca, the only time there was a transfer was when someone came in from out of town. Seneca Valley was the only team I ever wanted to play for. If you wanted to play for Gaithersburg, that was sacrilegious.” What saddens Telep is that “you used to hear ‘I want to win a state championship,’” he said. “Now you hear ‘I want to maximize exposure.’” If that sense of community, or even family, pride has not vanished altogether, it has certainly dwindled. Ten years ago, when Parrish was coaching DuVal, there was a member of a family on his team while his brother competed for Eleanor Roosevelt. “I said ‘That’s crazy,’” Parrish recalled, laughing. “Back in the ’80s, everybody wanted to play where their uncle played or their father played. You didn’t think about moving around. Now there’s so much moving around where I don’t know how much “What he did last year was just short of remarkable,” Maryland coach Randy Edsall said. “The effort that he gave and the situation that he went into and how he handled it and how he went out there and competed, I mean, was remarkable. When you see a young man do what he did, you can’t have anything but the utmost respect and admiration for him.” Practically, Petty said he’s better off now, because he learned to see the field at quarterback in a way that translates to linebacker.

Economy down, movement up This past season, former Sherwood basketball coach Dondrell Whitmore took on more transfers than he ever had in his seven years at the Warriors’ helm — three, two of which came by way of private school. “A lot of these guys came from privates and times are hard, man,” said Whitmore, who has since stepped down. “I noticed [the transfers] along with the recession. I see it happening more this year.” Many of the transfers, says Whitmore, are opting for the cheaper public schools in lieu of the more expensive private schools such as DeMatha. Kim reported a similar theory, pointing to the recessed economy as a major factor in the increasing movement among high school athletes. “People are moving,” he said. “People are looking for more affordable places to live, using shared housing. The economy is down, and that’s had an effect. With the economy so tough, people aren’t buying houses. When you bought a house, you’d be rooted, you couldn’t just pick up and go, whereas if you get an apartment with a one-year lease as opposed to a mortgage, you can move again.” tmewhirter@gazette.net back at Syracuse University before becoming a defensive backs coach with Syracuse, Boston College and the Jacksonville Jaguars and a defensive coordinator with the University of Connecticut, strongly echoed that view. Edsall sees what Petty does. “He had a taste of being on the field playing,” Edsall said. “Now, he wants to play more and he’s done a good job of working and doing the things that he has to do. But, like I said, that tells you about somebody’s make up, when he went in and did what he did and how he handled it.” Petty said he enjoyed the spotlight while he had it, but now he’s happy to work under the radar, especially because he no longer has to wonder, what if? “That would have always went through my head,” Petty said.

It may sound self-defeating, but it’s hard to tell whether or not to take Tim Conway seriously.

It may have been written back in the 1630s, but that doesn’t mean John Ford’s “’Tis Pity She’s a Whore” is any less controversial today. That’s part of the reason audiences don’t see this show often. Because of that, The Rude Mechanicals will be presenting the show in its entirety at the Greenbelt Arts Center starting ’TIS PITY Aug. 16.

The plot revolves around Giovanni, who has develops an unnatural and unhealthy attraction to his sister, Annabella.

Continued from Page B-1 Together they do most of the songwriting for the group, which also includes Andrew Brown on upright bass and Lex O’Brien on drums and vibraphone. Also joining the band from time to time, and performing with Brûlée on Wednesday, is Tom Anderson, who plays tenor and soprano sax. They will be playing some of the mellow and reflective jazz tunes from “To a Crisp,” which taps into band members’ memories of travels, loves and losses. Matza, who loves to visit islands around the world, wrote “Jump In” after visiting Rangiroa Atoll in French Polynesia. Every day at 5 p.m. the local dolphins would leap out of the Pacific into the air, he said. In the song, they represent taking a leap of faith when you’re feeling a little shaky about taking the next big step in life, which for him was marriage. Matza knew for certain that he wanted to marry his fiancée, but he was wrestling with self-doubt about taking such a big leap. Later he wrote “Flamingos Above,” which emerged from a family trip to the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean. He wrote the tune for his little daughter Freya, who also contributed the title. Also on the CD is the song “Glaze” (think donuts), the first song he wrote with Kanegis, reflecting their mutual love of road songs. She wrote the lyrics after stopping early one morning at a Krispy Kreme after a gig. The two also wrote “Poesy,” based on Kanegis’ memories of a relationship in college. The song is written in 6/8 time and inspired by the music of jazz greats John Coltrane and Wayne Shorter. “It evokes the ’60s jazz mood,” said Matza. Also on the album is “Driftin,’” a song by Brown, who not only plays the bass and guitar but also makes them through his company awbmusic (www. awbmusic.com). Brown, who earned a doctorate in acoustics in Vienna, now lives in University Park and rows on the Patuxent River. The song is about the flow of water and how remembering the Patuxent got him through

“Writing songs is like [keeping] a good record — they preserve very specific memories. They preserve them in a really powerful way.” some tough times in Vienna on the river Danube.
The last song on the CD, “Amsterdam,” is a tribute to a close friend of Matza’s who died in a motorcycle accident. Every time he plays it, the memories come flooding back of their travels in California, Central America and Europe. “It does bring back experiences with Larry in a very vivid way,” said Matza, who said songs based on experiences are, for him, like photos, but even more evocative. “Writing songs is like [keeping] a good record — they preserve very specific memories,” he said. “They preserve them in a really powerful way.”
The band Brûlée will perform songs from its CD “To A Crisp” at a free jazz-onthe-lawn concert on Wednesday at the Riversdale House in Riverdale Park. From left are guitarist Louis Matza, vocalist Aura Kanegis, drummer Lex O’Brien and bassist Andrew Brown. PHOTO FROM LOUIS MATZA

Continued from Page B-1 that’s my phobia.” It’s certainly not stage fright, though before ever setting foot on a Hollywood back lot or cracking a joke, the funny man had his mind set on a completely different track. A horse owner and thoroughbred enthusiast, Conway, 79, actually had dreamed of racing himself. “I started out wanting to be a jockey,” he said. “But it got to the point where even the horses were asking me to get off.” Chances are good that audiences at “The Tim Conway Show with Louise DuArt,” on Thursday, Aug. 22, at The Weinberg Center for the Arts in Frederick, Md., will not feel the same way.
absolutely easy to protect the arm and to make sure he got full functionality back,” Demarest said. “I got a call that day, the second night of auditions, and it was ‘Jaki, I don’t know how to tell you this … I’m sorry, I can’t do this.’” Demarest, as the artistic director of the company, said she was on the hook to direct the show. As for taking over the role of Hippolita, the woman originally cast had other obligations, according to Demarest. “Life happens,” Demarest said. “I had originally cast a very talented ac-
The variety program, billed as a “rare live performance” in press materials, has been a laugh riot 12 years in the offing — eight of which the late Korman joined in the fun. “People would come up and say, ‘Could you do a show?’ And I went and did a show, and I continue to do it. It’s nothing I had planned,” Conway said. “When you have a TV show and things of that nature, people pick up on it.” Somewhat underselling things, “a TV show,” or even “things of that nature” could refer to any number of projects to which the Willoughby, Ohio, native lent his considerable talents. A staff job at a Cleveland television station at the dawn of the 1960s paired him with lifelong pal and larger-than-

life television personality Ernie Anderson (perhaps best known as the late-night horror host Ghoulardi). That job gave way to a move to New York City and a reoccurring bit on “The Steve Allen Show,” which, in turn, paved the way for Conway’s first taste of true fame as Ensign Charles Parker on the smallscreen adaptation of “McHale’s Navy.” Not incidentally, that gig yielded yet another good friendship with the show’s star, Ernest Borgnine. Conway would go on to enjoy two self-titled television programs, the 1970 CBS sitcom “The Tim Conway Show,” and — a decade later — a variety program on the same network under the same banner. On the silver screen, he often was partnered with the equally

erudite Don Knotts for a series of family films, among them “The Apple Dumpling Gang” and “The Apple Dumpling Gang Rides Again.” But arguably Conway’s most indelible work arrived when comedienne extraordinaire Carol Burnett came calling in 1975 with that unmistakable Tarzan yell, and The Old Man, Mr. Tudball and “The Family’s” Mickey Hart were born. Conway’s work on that show garnered the actor six Emmy Awards, and too many on-camera crack-ups to count — a highwater mark in a career that has spanned more than four decades. On stage today, the latest iteration of “The Tim Conway Show” features a gaggle of its namesake’s guffaw-inducing characters — often improvised — combined with DuArt’s uncanny talents as an impressionist (her roster includes Joan Rivers, Judge Judy and Barbaras Walters and Streisand, to name only a few). The perfect storm of silliness continues to sell out casinos and theaters throughout the country a few months out of every year. “I was looking for someone to travel with me,” Conway said of the collaboration’s genesis. “Her tape was on top of the pile. I didn’t even look at the rest. She was perfect.” What lies in store for audiences accustomed solely to Conway’s brand of comedy from the big and small screen? “Well, they can expect very little,” he joked. “And we don’t promise anything — so it works out nicely.” If experience truly is the best teacher, then Conway’s career among luminaries from Knotts to Burnett to Korman has been

… some stage blood. Some of the more horrific moments happen off-stage.” When all is said and done, Demarest said she hopes audiences who take in the show will have a better appreciation for Ford as a playwright whose shows rarely see the light of day. “Ford is fabulous,” Demarest said. “He’s one of that second crop of playwrights who came along after Shakespeare and Marlowe. … I think we should see more of John Ford.” wfranklin@gazette.net

a master class in comedy. And the greatest lesson? “I would say communication with an audience. We all start out in this business wondering how we’re going to get the audience [on our side]. But once you get them [hooked,] it’s actually very easy.” “That’s why I’ve never really understood people who throw up before going out on stage,” he continued. “I usually throw up during the show. It’s a nice surprise.” It’s nice to get out in front of an audience, Conway said, and while material may require constant reinvigoration, laughter never grows stale. “I think that’s the bottom line for performers,” he said. “I think that’s why most entertainers do it.” Like Burnett, herself, whom Conway said he had seen just weeks before. “She does these sorts of tours, as well. … It’s a way of giving back to the people who put us here.” And continue to do so. Conway’s home-video phenom, the diminutive everyman “DORF,” reached platinum status years ago and regularly garners new
viewers from his website, www. timconway.com. Unbeknownst to them, children across the globe, too, are encountering the star in some form every day. Throughout the years, he has provided voice work for a dazzling array of animated projects, from “Scooby Doo” to “SpongeBob Square Pants,” where he notably portrayed Barnacle Boy (old chum Borgnine voiced his counterpart, Mermaid Man). But beyond the dentist’s office, the future for Tim Conway looms tall. “Well, I’ve got to mow the lawn — and soon,” he said. “It gets to where I can’t see out the window.” But seriously: “I’m writing a book, which will be out in October,” he said. “It involves a lot of things we’ve been talking about — how to approach an audience and things like that. I was just working on that when you called, as a matter of fact. Or when I called. Someone called.” It certainly wasn’t Mrs. AhWiggins. And the title? “So far, it’s called ‘What’s So Funny,’ which may be a kind of dangerous title, because readers will say, ‘Well, certainly not this book.’” Luckily, there’s still time to win over that crowd, starting with the Weinberg performance next Thursday. “I’m anxious to meet people and do the show,” he said. “I generally stay [in town] for a few days afterward. And come over to people’s houses. And eat whatever they have.” He’s joking. We think. noravec@gazette.net

Let’s go to the hop What gives most beers their aromas and often bitter flavors? It’s hops from the hop plant, Humulus lupulus, a cousin to
BREWS BROTHERS STEVEN FRANK AND ARNOLD MELTZER cannabis which derives its Latin name from the same root as the wolves to which the plant’s wild growth is likened. Originally from China, hops used in beer are the productive female
flowers, called cones. The first recorded use of hops in brewing dates from 822 AD at a French monastery. In the United States the hop industry started in upstate New York in the 1800s and, after a destructive blight, moved to the upper Midwest, finally settling in the Pacific Northwest. The Pacific Northwest is renowned for bittering hops, compared to the more aromatic noble hops of Europe. Hops grow well in cooler climates but also will grow in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area.

The taste and bouquet in beer are obtained from the hop oils which cannot be duplicated with any other plant. The bitterness, used to balance the rich sweetness of the malted barley, comes from alpha acids in the hops. Beta acids and tannins help stabilize the beer, add flavor and act as preservatives by warding off bacteria. Newer hop varieties are hybridized to emphasize aroma, flavoring or bitterness characteristics. Hops pitched at the beginning of the brewing boil add dryness and bitterness; those added closer to the end of the boil have greater influence on the aroma and flavor. Hops also can be added during fermentation in a procedure called “dry hopping” which can heighten both the aroma and flavor, far greater than hops infused into the brewing boil which largely evaporate during the brewing process. The bitterness of beers is measured in International Bitterness Units (IBUs) which give a guide to the chemical intensity of the bitterness. Budweiser has about 11 IBUs, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale has 37 IBUs, with Dogfish Head’s 60 Minute, 90 Min-
ute and 120 Minute IPAs having 60, 90 and 120 IBUs respectively. IBUs however are a poor benchmark for judging bitter taste since the bitterness can be balanced by a sufficient malt backbone. Humans cannot differentiate bitterness levels above 100-120 IBUs. Most beers have a mixture of several hop varieties to broaden their aroma and flavor profile. In recent years, a trend has developed toward ever hoppier brews, including the now relatively ubiquitous Double/Imperial IPAs. Flying Dog Brewery in Frederick has created a onetime series of beers, each based on single hop variety, which are worth looking for. Examples of beers which highlight particular hops are below. Pilsner Urquell (4.4 percent alcohol by volume, ABV) is made by the Plzenský Prazdroj Brewery in Pilsen, Czech Republic. This original pilsner beer exclusively uses Saaz hops. It has a earthy aroma with a hint of citrus. The light malt front continues in the middle, joined by a touch of citrus. The finish adds slight floral hops. In the af-
tertaste the malt wanes and the hops linger. Ratings: 8/8. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (5.6 percent ABV) is produced by the Sierra Nevada Brewery in Chico, Calif. The pale ale uses a variety of Magnum, Perle and Cascade hops but the Cascade aroma and flavors predominate. It has a grapefruit and light pine nose. The mild malt and creamy front segues into a subdued grapefruit middle. The finish has a eruption of pine to medium while the grapefruit grows a pinch. The restrained dry aftertaste provides a genial bitter hop that persists. Ratings: 7/7.5. Two Hearted Ale (7 percent ABV) by Bell’s Brewery in Comstock, Mich., exclusively uses the Centennial hop. Two Hearted Ale has a bitter and pine bou-

quet. The soft creamy and wispy pine front lasts in the middle and finish. The finish adds tempered grapefruit and lemon zest notes with all the flavors extend through the aftertaste. Ratings: 7.5/7. Double Simcoe (9 percent ABV) from the Weyerbacher Brewery in Easton, Pa., uses a prodigious volume of Simcoe hops. Double Simcoe has a bitter hop, grapefruit and pine nose. The modest pine front increases in the middle blending with a muted grapefruit, both continuing into the finish. The grapefruit increases and comes to the forefront in the aftertaste as the pine fades. The aftertaste has a trace of alcohol but is quite well blended in this medium bodied brew. Ratings: 8/8.
