Top gubernatorialcandidates makemark in debateBy Neal Earley@neal_earley

ROCKVILLE – In the finalmonth of the Democratic Primarycampaign, four of the top Democraticcandidates for governor, and two oth-er candidates’ running mates, contin-ued a “violent agreement” on discus-sions that the candidates had with oneanother in a debate on May 21.

Sentinel Newspapers ExecutiveEditor Brian J. Karem and Mont-gomery County Sentinel columnistPaul K. Schwartz moderated the de-bate at the Montgomery County Ex-ecutive Office Building in Rockville.

Former NAACP CEO Ben Jeal-ous, State Senator Richard Madaleno(D-18), former U.S. State Depart-ment official Alec Ross and formerPolicy Director for First LadyMichelle Obama Krishanti Vignara-jah all participated in the debate.Prince George’s County ExecutiveRushern Baker, III, and Baltimorebusinessman Jim Shea sent their run-ning mates, prosecutor ElizabethEmbry and Baltimore City Councilmember Brandon Scott.

The debate, like most Democra-tic primary forums began and ended

with attempts at knocking Gov. LarryHogan’s (R) record on jobs, schoolsand lack of opposition to PresidentDonald J. Trump.

“This thing you read about that‘Maryland is open for business,’ thatis total and complete bullshit,” Rosssaid.

Ross, a former Baltimore CitySchool teacher, chastised Hogan’srecord on Maryland economicgrowth saying it is a misnomer thatthe businessman turned governor hasa strong record on the economy.

Ross has tried to position him-self as a problem-solving Democrat,not tied to the party’s orthodoxy. Atthe debate, Ross was critical of thestate’s record on taxes and regula-tions saying Maryland is not a wel-coming place to start-ups.

Jealous, who has the endorse-ment of former Democratic presiden-tial candidate Sen. Bernie Sander (I-Vt.), has positioned himself as one ofthe more progressive candidates inthe race, promising to bring a single-payer Medicare for all style health-care system to the state if elected gov-

Local students honored in school board awards ceremonyBy José Umaña Special to The Sentinel

GREENBELT – As her namewas called, Heaven Perry gleefullystrolled onto the red carpet in themiddle of the Martin’s Crosswindsballroom in Greenbelt. The audiencegave the Tanglewood RegionalSchool student a rousing ovation asshe smiled and walked toward thefront of the stage.

For a moment, Angela Perry, hermother, said she forgot about thetroubles her foster daughter dealtwith on a daily basis with cerebralpalsy. However, since adopting Perrytwo years ago, Angela has seen her

daughter work hard to overcome herdisability. This year, Perry joined thesafety patrol and started practicingreading aloud in her fifth-grade class.

“(Heaven) came a long way,”Angela said. “She had been bouncedfrom home to home, and when Iadopted her, she finally felt like shebelonged. And I am so proud of her.”

The night became the culmina-tion of Perry’s hard work as she re-ceived the Comeback Kid of the Yearaward. Perry was one of 28 award re-ceipts at the fourth annual BoardAwards on May 18, presented by thePrince George’s County Board of Ed-ucation (BOE).

Guests were surrounded with

gold decorations which filled theballroom, creating the feel of a Holly-wood awards banquet. Students, par-ents and teachers dressed to impressfor the occasion and had the opportu-nity to take a red-carpet style photoshoot. Music from the PrinceGeorge’s County Public School Le-gion of Jazz provided an upscale en-vironment for all to enjoy.

More than 300 nominees weresubmitted from area schools beforethe parent advisory council decidedthe winner. Dignitaries from the state,county and board representatives pre-sented the nominee certificates, and astatue was given to the winner.

Adding to the star power at the

event, the mistress of ceremonies wasEleanor Roosevelt High Schoolalumna and WUSA 9 reporter MikeaTurner. The “Wake-Up Washington”anchor announced each student to thestage.

“We have some folks who haveimportant titles here with us, but themost important people are the youngpeople who we are to celebrate to-day,” said Board Chair Segun Eu-banks, BOE chair. “You are the truedignitaries. These Board Awards areabout recognizing excellence, re-silience and achievement.”

Nobody’s fault but mine or oursBy Brian KaremExecutive Editor

The only thing worse than a Re-publican is a Democrat. One is venaland vile. The other is clueless.

I was discussing the problemsof politics with a candidate’s surro-gate the other day and it dawned onme there are people who still do notunderstand why Donald Trump gotelected to the highest office in theUnited States.

Many want to merely dismisshis supporters as being stupid. Somewant to dismiss their neighbors asbeing racists or misogynists for sup-porting him while still others wholove Trump are labeled as traitors.

The Trump supporters on theother hand have labeled those whooppose Trump traitors, racists,misogynists and stupid – but in fair-ness, so has the president. Whileboth sides of the aisle retreat to theirside of the sandbox and act like tod-dlers with loaded diapers, some of us

are still scratching our heads andwonder how this all came to pass.

Money is part of the problem,as is gerrymandering. A lack of edu-cation hinders any effort to electcandidates with any mental prowess,but the truth of the matter is we areall victims of our own success. Theproblems of Gaza, Iran, most of theMiddle East, Asia, Russia, Chinaand Africa have not visited ourshores. Even the poorest among usare not as bad off as those starving todeath in many regions of the world.It is easy to cast a blind eye atrefugees when we seem so flushwith success here.

Still, the American people arenot nearly as misogynistic, hate-filled or racist as each side of theaisle would have us believe. I findmost people would actually care andreach out to help those in need ifthey actually understood the situa-tion. But sadly we are blinded by ourown fears and politics.

Thus it boils down to education.Those who are students of poli-

tics, or observe and report on worldevents daily have by proximity akeener understanding of the situa-tion – but when the president callsyou “Fake News” and “the enemy ofthe people,” it becomes harder to cutthrough the clutter to make a differ-ence when everything is seenthrough the prism of politics. It be-comes more problematic when re-porters get things wrong. True, weare human and bound to get things

wrong – but for those who are look-ing for a reason to despise us it be-comes easier to do so with each mis-take we make.

Truth be told, we have never,nor will we ever play error-free base-ball. We are just human. But forthose who do not have the conve-nience of proximity to events it is be-coming easier and easier to dismisswhat newspapers, television, radioand the Internet news produce as wesink into our intellectual cul-de-sacsand rage at the dying of the light.

And so it becomes harder andharder to get to the source of our en-nui even as we become more con-vinced there is a problem.

That is precisely why DonaldTrump was elected and what the De-mocrats still do not understand.Many Americans may not know pre-cisely what is wrong – but theyknow things are awry. Along comesTrump screaming about criminals inpolitics, draining the swamp andhelping out the little guy and it res-onates as surely as a guitar solo in anepic rock n’ roll romp.

Many hear the words and react.We are tired of business as usual. Weare tired of the suffering, the crum-bling infrastructure and as we lookout at the world we fear we may gothe way of other great civilizations.

The Democrats continue to be-lieve by merely shouting that Trumpis a charlatan and playing by the oldrules, they can regain their powerand right the ship of state. However,

the Democrats are akin to the heck-ler at a magic show screaming themagician is faking it. We all know it.Some of us enjoy it. Some of us loveto be fooled and some of us do notcare.

In other words, Trump remainsthe epitome of the system – not itsaberration. If Democrats wish tooverturn the tide then they need tosell a better message to the voterthan “he’s a criminal.”

Americans are used to crimi-nals holding office – we elect themto those positions often enough. Weelect liars and charlatans and mo-rons. Our politicians are, as H.L.Mencken once noted, a “standingsubversion of the public good inevery rational sense.”

Trump is merely the latest in along line of empty-headed imbecilesto prey upon the common wealth –as Mencken would say. That the De-mocrats are shouting loud and longabout it is a fine and funny thing tome – coming as it does from a partythat had a president who routinelylied about his infidelities and onewho claimed to support freedomwhile jailing whistleblowers.

This will not make me popularamong Democrats or Republicans,but I do not really care.

In this country the voters reapwhat they sow. That we are harvest-ing weeds is in the words of RobertPlant – “Nobody’s Fault But Mine.”Remember we’re all just another“Fool in the Rain.”

By Rachel Cain@rachelcain53

SEABROOK – The county isabout a month out from the June pri-maries. As all of the candidates run-ning for the county council District 9seat are registered Democrats, thisprimary will likely determine the nextcouncilmember for that area. Thisyear’s candidates are OrlandoBarnes, Tanya Brooks, Tamara DavisBrown, Kevin Harris, Sydney Harri-son, Daren Hester, Jeffrey Rascoeand Rodney Taylor. Sherman Hardywithdrew from the race in December.

District 9 is currently represent-ed by Councilman Mel Franklin andincludes the constituent areas of Ac-cokeek, Brandywine, Camp Springs,Fort Washington and Upper Marl-boro.

Barnes chose to run for countycouncil this election year to utilize histalents in public service to help hiscommunity. If elected, he would fo-cus on ensuring accountability mea-sures are in place to restore trust andconfidence in the public school sys-tem, as well as providing proper careand services for retirees. The latter el-ement includes protecting seniorsfrom rising rents.

Barnes said his experience withthe county government sets him apartfrom his opponents.

After working as an attorney,Barnes served as Assistant Sheriff forthe county and also served on the Ex-ecutive Board for the Prince George’sCounty Wellness Committee.

“I want to assure the public, asopposed to making promises, I have arecord of service in the county. I have

a record of accomplishments thathave made Prince George’s and thePrince George’s County governmentbetter,” Barnes said. “I have an un-derstanding of the Prince George’sCounty government and services, andI will be able to hit the ground run-ning.”

Brown described District 9 as a“forgotten area” in the county, andshe wants to work to ensure that theregion “gets the resources to handleinfrastructure improvement,” includ-ing new schools and improved road-ways. If she is elected to the countycouncil, she would also like to allo-cate money to the police and fire de-partments, as well as address whatshe called “women’s issues,” such asdomestic violence.

Brown said her priorities as acouncilwoman would include endingwaiver development impact fees fordevelopers.

“I would offer legislation to en-sure the development dollars that arecollected for those adequate publicfacilities stay in the district in whichthe development is being built,”Brown said.

Brown would seek to keep herconstituents engaged by holding reg-ular events in which citizens can sitdown for coffee with her.

Brown believes she is more thanadequately prepared to serve on thecounty council due to her profession-al experience as an attorney and in-depth knowledge of the county zon-ing laws, which is a major responsi-bility of the county council.

Harris, on the other hand, high-lighted the benefits his youth couldprovide as a councilmember. He said

that at 36 years old, he is the “youngfresh face that can push the countyforward.” As a councilmember, hewould focus on education and eco-nomic development, including im-proving road conditions. He wants anindependent audit of the school sys-tem to ensure that “money that goesinto (the school system) and is goingto the classrooms.”

He also supports more afford-able housing in the district and mak-ing the area “more welcoming to-wards millenials” while developingrevenue sources to assist the seniorpopulation.

Harris is a Navy veteran and haspreviously served in the White HouseCommunications Agency.

Harrison similarly discussed in-frastructure improvement, which hesaid includes rehabilitating or re-building local schools. He also em-phasized the need for access to quali-ty medical care, particularly for se-niors. He wants to see furthereconomic development around theMetro stations while also “preserv-ing, protecting and promoting” therural area of District 9.

He believes his experience as aclerk of the court, with its administra-tive and executive responsibilities,has prepared him well to serve on thecounty council.

“With that type of experience,teamwork and collaboration I’ll bringto the county council to make surewe’re doing our jobs as elected offi-cials to improve quality of life andeducation and working with our pub-lic safety officials to ensure we haveproper operational staffing and re-sources so we can serve the public,”

Harrison said. Harrison is a member of the

Prince George’s Democratic CentralCommittee and has local and abroadvolunteer experience.

Hester also pointed to his profes-sional experience as evidence that heis well-prepared to serve on the coun-ty council. He works as a communitymanager, which frequently involvesdealing with zoning matters and pub-lic safety issues.

Hester is running for countycouncil to be an “advocate forchange” and “make sure the peoplehave a voice.”

He promotes a “livable commu-nity agenda,” which includes his po-sitions on economic development,education and public transportation.Hester supports having an indepen-dent agency investigate school board.He would also like to repair roads inthe district and supports the light railsystem from the Branch AvenueMetro station to Brandywine.

Hester, who is a veteran, is in-volved in various other workthroughout the county, from job fairsto youth football leagues.

The sort of changes Rascoewould like to help offer more careerand vocational training for youngpeople in the county, improvingschool safety, providing more acces-sible transportation for seniors andhaving more after-school program-ming for students.

He said he “genuinely care(s)about the community,” which hedemonstrates through hosting com-munity events and volunteering withgroups to support people affected bydomestic violence.

“I think there should be less of agap between the community and thegovernment,” Rascoe said. “Ourcommunity should have access to ourpoliticians. I want to be that person togive voice to those who don’t have avoice.”

Taylor said he is ready to take hisexperience presenting before thecounty council and the state govern-ment to serve on the other side of thedais as a councilmember. He believesDistrict 9 has been left behind or for-gotten in county policies, legislation,and decisions, and he hopes to turnthat around.

Some of his priorities throughwhich he intends to rebuild District 9are by improving local transportationand increasing trash pickup. Hewants to improve public transit andincrease trash pickup. He believes thelibraries in District 9 should be re-built, not merely renovated. Further-more, Taylor’s goals include takinginto account the impact on the envi-ronment and the health of residentsdevelopment, including the presenceof power plants, will have and contin-uing the county’s commitment to“zero waste.”

Like many of the other candi-dates, Taylor also wants to improvethe local school system. He supportsa fully elected school board.

Taylor works as the associatedirector for Prince George’sCounty Animal Management Di-vision and began a mentorshipprogram at Gwynn Park MiddleSchool.

Brooks did not respond tomultiple interview requests.

Homelessness is down in county after PIT surveyBy Rachel Cain@rachelcain53

UPPER MARLBORO – PrinceGeorge’s County is exhibitingprogress towards lowering home-lessness in the area.

According to the recently re-leased results of the 2018 Point-In-Time (PIT) homelessness survey re-leased by the Metropolitan Wash-ington Council of Governments(COG), Prince George’s County ex-perienced the greatest reduction inthe percentage rate of persons expe-riencing homelessness with a 10percent decrease. In 2017, 532 indi-viduals were counted as homeless,compared to 478 in 2018.

The PIT count took place onJan. 24. County staff and volunteersspent the day going to areas in thecounty known to be trafficked byhomeless individuals, such as li-braries and shelters. In addition to

counting each individual, they alsogathered relevant demographic in-formation and other data on eachparticipant. This information in-cludes age, race, gender, employ-ment and whether or not they havebeen a victim of domestic violence.

The other jurisdictions includ-ed in the report are the City ofAlexandria, Arlington County,Washington, D.C., Fairfax County,the City of Frederick and FrederickCounty, Loudoun County, Mont-gomery County and Prince WilliamCounty.

Based on the count, 10,480people throughout the D.C. regionwere homeless. That is a decrease of6 percent from the previous year.

Prince George’s County alsohad the highest percentage reduc-tion in the literally homeless countfrom 2014 to 2018, at 27 percent.

“Literally homeless” refers tohomeless individuals who are shel-

tered or unsheltered.D.C. experienced the greatest

reduction in the number of individu-als experiencing homelessness from2017 to 2018, with 569 fewer home-less individuals followed by PrinceGeorge’s and Montgomery Coun-ties, which both had 54 fewer indi-viduals counted.

Prince George’s County did notcount any chronically homelessfamilies that night.

“Our successful efforts to re-duce the number of homeless resi-dents in Prince George’s County isdirectly attributed to our improvedeconomy, a lower unemploymentrate, improved data collection andperformance measures, and in-creased collaboration and coopera-tion among county agencies, com-munity organizations and through-out the region,” said CountyExecutive Rushern Baker, III.“While I am very pleased with our

progress this year, there is still muchwork to do to continue on the path toend homelessness.”

According to the report, thecounty attributes the decline inhomelessness to six key strategies,which are coordinated entry, pre-vention assistance, shelter diver-sion, rapid re-housing, permanenthousing and improved data collec-tion and performance measures.

Prince George’s County identi-fied five homeless subpopulationsto focus on for program develop-ment: domestic violence and humantrafficking, unaccompanied youthand young adults ages 13-24, veter-ans, chronically homeless and otherhomeless persons experiencing se-vere behavioral health challenges,and returning citizens.

The report includes a list ofchallenges the D.C. region as awhole faces in the effort to maintainlow levels of, and eventually elimi-

nate, homelessness. These difficul-ties involve rising rent, shortage ofliving wage jobs, and uncertaintyregarding the future of funding lev-els for housing programs.

The PIT takes place during thewinter so that the counters locateand identify the members of thecommunity who are the most vul-nerable, who have nowhere to stayduring the cold and sometimes life-threating winter weather. The countdoes not include people who do nothave a permanent home but are“couch surfing” among other resi-dences.

According to the report, “It isimportant to note that this ‘snap-shot,’ by definition, provides oneperspective on the state of home-lessness in metropolitan Washing-ton on only one night, and the coun-ty may be influenced by numerousvariables, such as weather and bedavailability by jurisdiction.”

from Ardmore Elementary School,the recognition was unexpected. Thefifth-grader, who is known for usingSpanish-speaking skills to help visit-ing parents to tutor students in theEnglish for Speakers of Other Lan-guages (ESOL) program, wasstunned to see the nomination arrivein the mail addressed to her.

“When my mom came home,and she opened it, I was surprised be-cause she mostly gets things from themail,” Pineda-Osorio said. The invi-tation was her first piece of mail shehad ever received.

Her face illuminated when SHEwas announced as the winner of Spir-it of Service of the Year award for hervolunteer work all over the school.Her mother, Esmeralda, is proud ofher daughter’s community activism,praising how she is becoming an ex-ample for the rest of her family.

“I love to help other people, andI want to inspire them,” Pineda-Oso-rio said.

For one high school in particu-lar, the evening was a success. Threeout of five nominated students fromthe International High School of Lan-gley Park (IHSLP) nominated stu-dents received an award. The school,which serves recent immigrant ar-rivals to help them adjust to theAmerican education system, can belost within the county’s educationalecosystem, Principal Carlos Beatosaid.

The recognition of its students’success is a reminder that their alter-native curriculum is working, Beatosaid.

“I love it there,” Tenth-graderHeyzel Padilla, who won the StudentLeadership of the Year award, said.“We get to do a lot of exciting things,and we are allowed to anything. I be-came the secretary for (the school’sSGA) last year and then became vice-president, so it has provided me agreat experience.”

Even though he has aspirationsto attend Loyola University Mary-

land to become an English teacher,Hender Galeas was unsure if hewould win the Student Excellenceaward. In his opinion, his progress asa student was not sufficient enoughcompared to the other nominees,specifically Northwestern HighSchool senior Bethelihem Tebase,who was accepted to Princeton Uni-versity.

However, Galeas’ story washard to ignore. Originally from SanMiguel, El Salvador, he joined hisfamily in the United States in 2015after he allegedly received threatsfrom the gangs surrounding theneighborhood. He quickly took ad-vantage of the educational opportuni-

ties in IHSLP and learned Englishsoon through practice with his teach-ers and conversations with strangers.

This year, Galeas became thefirst student in school history to testout of the ESOL program and has be-gun his journey to become an educa-tor by tutoring his classmates. Heplans to continue working hard forstronger grades.

“I think I was chosen for all thetime and energy I have put into mak-ing this dream possible while helpingmy classmates in the process,”Galeas said. “I hope my friends andfamily think I deserved it and nowthat I have this (award), I feel like Iearned it.”

Top gubernatorialcandidates makemark in debate

ernor.“We can stretch our health dol-

lars further if we switch to single-payer,” Jealous said.

Jealous proposed paying for astate single-payer healthcare systemby increasing taxes on the wealthiest1 percent residents and by cuttingfunds from the state’s criminal justicebudget by reducing the prison popu-lation through expanding the JusticeReinvestment Act.

Madaleno, who was first electedto the General Assembly in 2002, dis-agreed with Jealous on health caresaying the current system, the Afford-able Care Act - or more commonlyreferred to as “Obamacare” - whichsubsidized insurance plans through astate exchange is working for Mary-land.

At the debate, Madaleno posi-tioned himself as a long-time pro-gressive who led the charge on majorpolicy changes in Annapolis includ-ing the repeal of the death penaltyand the passage of marriage equality.In response to a question aboutHogan’s popularity, among the high-est in the nation for governors,Madaleno said Hogan is popular inMaryland because the Democratic-controlled General Assembly pushedHogan toward the center.

“Over and over we have forcedLarry Hogan to run to govern like aDemocrat. He’s popular because thisis a Democratic state,” Madalenosaid.

For most of the night, each of thecandidates resisted the urge to refuteone another, insisting to add onto theprevious candidates’ statements.While each candidate promised todeliver on infrastructure spendingwith candidates like Scott and Rossspecifically mentioning funding forBaltimore's proposed Red Line andfunding for the MARC train, Vig-narajah said if elected governor, shewould focus on investing in green en-ergy.

“Infrastructure to me also in-

cludes the fact that we need to investin offshore wind as well as clean en-ergy, solar energy,” Vignarajah said.

Vignarajah has labeled herselfas “Donald Trump’s worst night-mare,” and has referenced that she isthe only woman running for governorin the race. Vignarajah said Hoganhas been silent on the issues facingMaryland most notably the TrumpAdministration’s policies on immi-gration, the environment and health-care.

Filling in for Baker, Embry tout-ed her running mate’s experience ofgrowing Prince George’s County’seconomy after years of stagnationand government corruption.

Embry, who lead the AttorneyGeneral’s Criminal Division, said shewatched Baker transform PrinceGeorge’s County from afar, mention-ing that she was impressed that Bakerhad made such progress into turningthe county into one of the economicand environmental leaders of thestate after his predecessor, Jack B.Johnson, pleaded guilty to extortionand evidence and witness tampering.

“He transformed PrinceGeorge’s County through his leader-ship,” Embry said of Baker.

In place of Shea, Scott said De-mocrats were responsible forHogan’s election by becoming out oftouch with voters. Scott said Mary-land’s education has fallen behindunder Hogan’s leadership and callingit a “civil rights violation” that thestate has not fully funded its educa-tion system.

Scott also hit Hogan on trans-portation infrastructure sayingHogan “walked away” from buildingthe Red Line subway transit rail inBaltimore, instead opting for fundingfor adding lanes on highways like I-270 and I-495.

“We know that they [the HoganAdministration] don’t invest in 21stCentury technology as far as publictransportation and we have to dothat,” Scott said.

A dark ‘Macbeth’ is lit at Blackfriars PlayhouseBy Mark DreisonstokSpecial to The Sentinel

STAUNTON – Though we“write men’s virtues in water,” ac-cording to Shakespeare, performingplays as ever “more water glidethby” is quite another matter. The topicthis week is performing Shakespeareas it was meant to be enacted, for theHard Bargain Players of PrinceGeorge’s County in May performedShakespeare’s “A MidsummerNight’s Dream” from May 10 to 19.It was performed in “a space where itwas always meant to be played: rightunder our beautiful canopy of treesand starlight!” Although the HardBargain Players’ website waxed inthis way lyrical on its Theatre in theWoods productions in Accokeek, theoutdoor performance I had hoped toattend was not possible due to theheavy daily rains of last week. “Tothe water side, I must conduct yourgrace” indeed! (Shakespeare).

While I hope to see the HardBargain Players at one point shortly,I make a virtue of necessity by re-porting instead on “Macbeth“(through June 9) in sunny Staunton,Virginia. Here is Shakespeare as itwas “meant to be performed” – notoutdoors, but with the unusual condi-tion of “universal lighting.” At theBlackfriars Playhouse in Staunton,the American Shakespeare Centeractors introduce the play before theyperformwith the reminder that, the-atre superstition, the play’s name“Macbeth” must not be uttered aloudin a theatre, lest disaster befall (clapsof thunder could be heard as thename was first uttered).

The tragedy is instead to be re-ferred to euphemistically as “theScottish play.”

Used in Shakespeare’s time,“universal lighting” requires that theplay enacted on stage be performedin full lighting. More than this, theaudience does not sit in darkness butis seated in an equally well-lit audito-rium. Although this was Shakespeareas it shown in Shakespeare’s day, itwas nonetheless jarring at first. Ifound, however, I soon accustomedmyself to the approach, and a certaingritty realism was added to thewitches, Banquo’s ghost and LadyMacbeth sleepwalking as she at-tempted to wash the invisible bloodfrom her hands, exclaiming “Out,damned spot! out, I say!”

Universal lighting also allowsone to see the audience’s reaction. Itwas especially helpful in the one hu-morous spot in the play as the drunk-en porter responded to the knockingat the gate. The audience’s facescould be seen brightening and smil-ing at this comic relief, as the inebri-ated porter lumbered and bumbledonto the stage and anachronisticallybut uproariously seemed to be recit-ing some lines in a Donald Trumpimpression!

In one of the darkest of Shake-speare’s tragedies, Macbeth is abrave nobleman whose flaw of“vaulting ambition which overleapsitself and falls” is led on by theprophecy of the witches, or “weirdsisters,” that he shall be king. LadyMacbeth, his wife, further goadsMacbeth on to murder King Duncanand seize the crown for himself.Many deaths, cruelties and the ruin

of the couple Macbeth ensue. The cast was nothing short of

superb. The performance of RonaldRomán-Meléndez as the drunkern-porter has already been praised. AllyFarzetta, in particular, should also besingled out for a tour-de-force per-formance as Lady Macbeth, by turnswinsome, charming, mocking andever cold as ice.

One aspect of which audiencesshould be aware: the American

Shakespeare Center’s production of“Macbeth” employs splendid cos-tumes for the characters but uses nocurtains and virtually no props. Forthis reason, it is recommended to readthe play or at least a thorough sum-mary of it before venturing forth toBlackfriars Playhouse. The audienceat the performance I attended consist-ed of school groups who had clearlyjust read “Macbeth.” However, itmay have been a while since most of

us read this work in high school. In the hopes that the heavy rains

are over, readers are warmly encour-aged to wend their way to Stauntonto see “Macbeth” with its unusualuniversal lighting, fine acting andability to transport viewers into thedark recesses of ambition in the hu-man mind. Remember upon enteringto refer to it only as “the Scottishplay,” lest the rainclouds of Mayreappear and lightning strike!

WASHINGTON, D.C. – TheJazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra(JLCO) with Wynton Marsalispaid tribute to American composerLeonard Bernstein at the KennedyCenter on May 20 in a programthat splendidly celebrated the100th year of the maestro’s birth.

Showcasing some of Bern-stein’s most well-known works,the evening was a portrait of ex-cellence that proved why JLCO isone of the finest big bands per-forming today. From its kickoffwith Bernstein’s operetta “Can-dide” to its conclusion with Bern-stein’s most popular and criticallyacclaimed musical, “West SideStory,” the evening featured onedelicious musical morsel after an-other.

Born on August 25, 1918, in

Lawrence, Massachusetts., Bern-stein was among the first conduc-tors born and educated in the Unit-ed States to receive worldwide ac-claim. He wrote in many stylesencompassing symphonic and or-chestral music, ballet, film andtheatre music, choral works,opera, chamber music and piecesfor the piano.

Under the direction ofMarsalis, JLCO’s managing andartistic director, the orchestra,comprised of 15 of the finest jazzsoloists and ensemble players to-day, wowed a Concert Hall audi-ence that showed its appreciationwith thunderous applause witheach brilliantly played solo, or byswaying along enthusiastically tothe hard-swinging and mesmeriz-ing beats.

Trombonist Vincent R. Gard-ner served as the narrator for theevening and gave the audience in-

sight into the music selected,charismatically describing how heand Richard DeRosa arranged themusic, and how Bernstein came tocompose the tune.

“Ain’t Got No Tears Left,”from “On The Town,” was writtento show the emotions that surfacewhen sailors come to town, breaka girl’s heart, then leave. Slow,lazy and full of detachment, thetrombone and drum solos appro-

priately set the mood.On “Conversation Piece,”

Gardner explained that Bernsteincomposed the tune to show a con-versation between two women andtwo men that suddenly becomesexceptionally awkward. With fit-ful starts and stops, and pulsatingwith a ragtime feel, the tune fea-tured Carlos Henriquez on bass,Wynton Marsalis on trumpet andDan Nimmer on piano.

The band turned to “WestSide Story” for a salsa-like “Mam-bo,” and Henriquez’ arrangementwas delivered with passion. Gard-ner pointed out that Bernsteinloved jazz, noting that his “Luckyto Be Me” was one of Bernstein’smost swinging and most enduringjazz compositions. Jason Marsalison drums and Henriquez on bassably delivered the goods.

Gardner stated that Bernsteinwas deeply connected to his Jew-

ish faith and, after graduatingfrom Harvard, composed his firstlarge orchestral piece. “Jeremiah’sSong,” taken from the Book ofLamentations, was a warningfrom the Prophet Jeremiah to theIsraelites of Babylon’s fall.Mournful, full of wails, yet hope-ful at the same time, the numberfeatured an outstanding sopranosax solo by Walter Blanding.

“Gloria De Excelsis” fromBernstein’s “Mass,” commissionedby Jackie Kennedy to inauguratethe John F. Kennedy Center in1971 as a national showcase for theperforming arts, was dramatic andeven theatrical, filled with a profu-sion of pieces of music and moods.

The concert concluded with arousing “Somewhere” that featureda delightful interplay betweenNimmer and trombonist ElliottMason, leaving Bernstein and jazzfans satisfied and satiated.

May 24, 2018 The Prince George’s Sentinel 21

By José UmañaSpecial to The Sentinel

GAITHERSBURG – Withrain splashing off his hat as timeexpired, Eleanor Roosevelt BoysLacrosse Head Coach Scott Soren-son clapped as his players headedto the sideline. To his surprise, theywere not upset. His players toldhim that this was a learning experi-ence that they needed to go throughthat experience to complete theirgoal of winning a state title.

“We are a family, we came to-gether, and sometimes, you getyour butt kicked,” Sorenson said.“And tonight, we got our buttkicked, and we have fun doing it,and we played hard the entiretime.”

The Raiders’ quest of finishingtheir third varsity season with anundefeated record ended on May19 after a stunning 17-1 lossagainst Severna Park High School.

The Falcons overwhelmed theRaider defense with 15 shots ongoal in the opening quarter and al-lowed eight goals during the peri-od. Senior attacker Hans Hansen

scored both of his goals in theopening 15 minutes, becoming oneof four players to score twice dur-ing the game.

Early in the second quarter,sophomore Chandler Grimes foundsenior captain Elias Kallon forRoosevelt’s only goal of the game.After allowing eight goals in theopening quarter, the Raiders playedmore physical on defense, limitingthe Falcons’ high-powered offenseto just two goals before halftime.

Junior goalie Jared Hamlin sti-fled the Falcons throughout thegame, making eight saves. Beforethe semifinal encounter, Sorensonwarned Hamlin of Severna Park’sshooting prowess, but no amountof advice could prepare him for theattackers’ fast movements andquick releases toward the net.

Despite Roosevelt’s defensivepressure changes, the Falconsadded six second-half goals. TheFalcons finished with 13 differentgoal scorers.

Sorenson said the growth ofthe sport will continue with histeam as well as others in the countyfor the long haul. In the meantime,

the Raiders coaching staff will con-tinue to schedule games with pri-vate schools and lacrosse-rich sidesto help Roosevelt become moreprepared for the state competitionsnext year.

“We need to recruit more guys,practice harder and take opponentsmore seriously,” Hamlin said.“This was a great season, and weare capable of doing many things.We are going to go for the countychampionship and regionals again.We will be back here shortly.”

South River drops RooseveltThirteen different goal-scorers

thundered the South River HighSchool girls' lacrosse team to a 20-0 shutout victory over the LadyRaiders in the opening match of thestate semifinal round on May 19.

Roosevelt, who finished itsregular season undefeated and wonthe county championships on May5, was unable to garner any posi-tion in the opening three minutes,losing every draw and allowingSouth River to score five goals.

South River, who was lookingto win its first state championshipsince 2010, was ruthless on goal,

finishing the first half with a 13-point lead. Sophomore AlexisGrant terrorized the backline bycreating easy opportunities on goalfor herself or her teammates. Shefinished with two assists and twogoals.

The Lady Raiders’ defensivepressure and goalkeeping im-proved in the second half, limitingthe Lady Seahawks to 10 shots andonly allowed seven goals. The rota-tion of goalies used by Rooseveltcombined for five saves.

“It was a great learning experi-ence,” Head Coach Charles Millssaid. “We played one style of teamin Prince George’s County wherewe could do hard crashes (on at-tackers), and it came back on (us).We had to break ourselves out ofthat habit, learn to trust each othermore and by the end of the game,we were finally doing that by stay-ing with their person and trustingeach other.”

After no shots on goal in thefirst half, the Lady Raiders’ offensegained its first advantage to startthe second half. However, sopho-more attacker Isabella Gandolph’s

right corner shot flew over the net. Midway through the second

half, Roosevelt’s second-bestchance to get on the scoreboardcame on a free-position opportuni-ty for junior Camille Lorente.However, the midfielder’s shot wassaved, preserving the shutout forthe Anne Arundel County-basedsquad.

Players were not upset by thehumbling result, understanding thesteps their program needs to take towin a state-winning title. Mills saiddespite losing five seniors, three ofwhom are vital parts of the defense,Roosevelt will be back to competein the regional and state competi-tions again next year.

“Playing an out-of-countyteam is always special, and thereare things we can do to preparemore for next year, but this was aneducational experience,” Gan-dolph said. “For next year, we haveto learn from (South River) andwatch their attack. Their attackwas beautiful, and if we can takewhat they saw and transition thatto ourselves, we would be unstop-pable.”

BALTIMORE – The Universityof Maryland’s men’s and women’slacrosse teams both advanced to theFinal Four once again.

Both are the defending nationalchampions, and each team scoredwins in the NCAA quarterfinals toreach the national semifinals. Themen defeated Cornell University 13-8on May 20 in Annapolis and ad-vanced to the Final Four for the fifth-straight time, their seventh berth ineight years with coach John Tillmanleading the way.

The women had a bit of a toughertime and needed to rally late to pullout a 17-15 victory over Navy in Col-lege Park on May 19. It marked the10th consecutive time that the Ter-rapin women have gotten to theNCAA Final Four. In fact, the seniorclass finished their Maryland careerswith a 47-0 home record.

For the men, Jared Bernhardt andBubba Fairman led the way with threegoals apiece. Logan Wisnauskas andAnthony DeMaio added two goalseach. Fairman also pitched in withtwo assists for a team-high five points.

Maryland will play Duke Uni-versity in the national semifinal onMay 26 in Foxborough, Massachu-setts.

A late second-period goal fromCornell cut the Terps’ lead to 6-4 latein the second quarter, but Marylandtook over after that, scoring the nextsix goals. That gave the Terrapins a12-4 lead early in the fourth quarter.

Maryland outscored Cornell 5-0in the third period and broke the gameopen. Fairman scored three times overa span of 3:40 in that period to put theTerrapins in command.

Cornell tried to rally in the fourthquarter, scoring four in a row and cutthe lead to 12-8 with more than sixminutes left. However, Marylandstopped the run and held on.

Goalie Dan Morris also playedwell for the Terrapins, finishing witheight saves.

Maryland will head into the FinalFour with a 14-3 record.

The women improved to 20-1but needed a late 6-1 run to outlastNavy. Maryland was down 14-11with 15 minutes left before scoring sixin a row.

Jen Giles topped Maryland withseven points on four goals and threeassists. Kali Hartshorn added threegoals and came up with 10 draw con-

trols, something she has fared well atall season long.

The Maryland women willnow play Boston College on May25 at Stony Brook (N.Y.) in theNCAA semifinal.

“I’m proud of our girls on howwe rebounded,” Maryland HeadCoach Cathy Reese said. “It waskind of a game of runs. We had (a)good lead early in the first half, and

that kind of dwindled away. In thesecond half, we were able to keepfighting. They never gave up.”

Trailing, 14-11, Taylor Henshscored, and about two minutes af-ter that, Giles added another goal.Megan Whittle, who had notscored in the game’s first 50 min-utes, then reeled off three consec-utive goals before Hensh got a freeposition score for a 17-14 lead.

Goalie Megan Taylor came upbig again, tying a season-highwith 13 saves. She now has goneover 500 saves for the season(510), just the fifth Marylandgoalie to do that.

“They never gave up,” Reesesaid. “They stayed present, stayed inthe moment, did not get ahead ofthemselves and were able to executedown the run. That was impressive.”

OXON HILL – Gary Russell,Jr. from Capitol Heights defendedhis World Boxing Council Feather-weight World Championship with aunanimous decision over the No. 1contender and undefeated fighterJoseph Diaz at the MGM NationalHarbor on May 19.

The fight was shown on Show-time Championship Boxing.

Russell (29-1) arguably has thefastest hands in the sport. He con-stantly tattooed Diaz's face for 12rounds. He mixed in some hard

body shots while absorbing viciousshots to his body from Diaz.

One judge scored the fight115-113 (7 rounds to 5), and theother two judges saw it 117-111 (9rounds to 3), all for Russell.

Diaz, 25, said he learned somuch from fighting Russell.

“The game plan was to breakhim down with body shots, but thatdid not work,” Diaz said. “He wasin tremendous shape. Most fighterswould have given in to shots likethat.”

It then became a guessinggame for Diaz (26-1).

“He tried to keep me guessing

with effective jabs. Not hard jabs,but good jabs,” Russell said. “Hekept me from coming after him be-cause I was thinking that he wouldland those fast combinations.”

Diaz had red bruises all overhis face.

Russell, 29, started each roundwith quick jabs and combinations toDiaz’s face. Russell threw a person-al best 587 jabs.

Gary wanted a knockout for hishometown fans.

“I am a little disappointed,”Russell said. “I wanted to get himup out of there. I hurt my jab handin either the second or third round.”

Russell has had hand injuriesin the past, but that did not stophim.

“We are warriors, and I was notgoing to let the hand stop me fromjabbing,” Russell said. “He couldnot get past my jab. He could notdeal with my hand speed or myboxing ability.”

Russell was the most skillfulfighter that night.

The Russell fighters, alltrained by their dad, Gary Russell,Sr., pride themselves on making ad-justments during a round.

“We made adjustmentsthroughout the fight. We would not

allow him to get comfortable anddo what he wanted,” Russell, Jr.said. “Boxing is hit and not get hit.It is a strategic sport.”

His younger brothers also wontheir fights. Gary Antonio Russellimproved to 11-0 with a 5 roundTKO over Jonathan Lecona. GaryAntuanne Russell, the 2016Olympian destroyed his opponent,Wilmer Rodriguez, who looked likehe recently left the buffet and waseager to get back there, with a firstround pummeling. He is now 5-0.A huge crowd went home all smilesas the hometown champion kept hisbelt in Prince George’s County.

Have the Washington Wizards hit a Wall?By Daniel Kucin Jr.Managing Editor

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Even-though it was an exciting time in thedistrict from 2003 to 2010, theGilbert Arenas era was a rollercoasterride of ups and downs when it cameto the wins and losses column.

Having a perennial all-star forthe better part of a decade, the oft-in-jured yet talented point guard former-ly known as “Agent Zero” wowedfans with his constant scoring out-bursts but also disappointed themwith inconsistent play at the sametime.

The three-time NBA All-Star ledWashington to the playoffs for fourconsecutive seasons (2004-2008)during his tenure with the Wizardsonly to be dominated by LeBronJames and the Cleveland Cavaliersfor three consecutive seasons afterthe Wizards only advanced in the firstround once against the Chicago Bullsin 2005. The Wizards were thenswept in the Eastern ConferenceSemifinals by the Miami Heat.

For the next two seasons, theWizards were atrocious totaling only45 wins in both seasons combined.

Despite averaging more than 22points per game and nearly eight as-sists per contest during the 2009-2010 campaign, Washington decidedto move in another direction beforethe NBA Draft during the offseason.

Enter John Wall, the former Uni-versity of Kentucky standout whohad the same flair and scoring abilityas Arenas enticed new WashingtonWizards Majority Owner Ted Leon-sis decided to take a chance on theyoung playmaker.

With the first pick of the 2010NBA Draft, Leonsis chose Wall hop-ing that the one-and-done student-athlete could turn his fledgling fran-chise around as a future star.

However, the wins did not comein a timely fashion for the flashy scor-er. Wall showed glimpses of great-ness as the game started to slow downfor him despite racing down the court

each possession with a reckless styleof play early on.

He earned First-Team NBA All-Rookie honors, and things seemed tobe moving in the right direction eventhough the Wizards did not make it tothe postseason until the 2013-2014season.

However, with Arenas (20.2PPG, 5.3 AST, 1.6 STL, 3.9 RPG)and Wall (18.9 PPG, 9.2 AST, 1.7STL, 4.4 RPG) having similar statis-tics and individual awards at the sameposition, a question must be asked:Have the Washington Wizards hit awall?

Wall, a five-time NBA all-starhas led his team to the playoffs four

times as well, and the Wizards stillhave not advanced past the secondround including losing to the TorontoRaptors (4-2) this season. Both play-ers are admired for their grit and over-ly exceptional play, but each guardfailed to get their teammates involvedin critical situations which have beendetrimental to the Wizards’ collectivesuccess overall. Arenas and Wallwere widely regarded as clutch play-ers by their peers and fans alike, buttime and time again they made ques-tionable shot selections at critical mo-ments instead of looking for the openman to make a play.

To add insult to injury, Wall un-derwent knee surgery for the third

time in his career in January. Wallsuffered nine significant injuries overhis career similar to Arenas who dealtwith knee issues too. Despite bothguards playing in arguably the primeof their respective careers, Washing-ton went to the vault and paid Arenas$111 million in 2009 only for him tobe traded to the Orlando Magic thefollowing year for journeyman sharp-shooter Rashard Lewis. The injury-riddled Arenas would only play twomore seasons in the NBA finishinghis final stint for the Memphis Griz-zlies averaging just 4.2 points pergame in a twelve-year career.

The Wizards rewarded Wallsimilarly in 2017 after paying Wall

$207 million to play until 2023.Wall's financial situation might becertain, but the amount of time that hewill healthy and on the floor is debat-able, considering his medical historyand usage rate. Leonsis has thrownhistory by the wayside to move for-ward with Wall despite the team play-ing well in his absence this past sea-son. Since Wall has entered theleague, he has been known for hisslashing ability, but never quiteachieved a consistent jump shot. As a.786 percent free throw shooter in hiscareer, Wall has heavily relied uponhis speed and aggressiveness at get-ting to the rack and charity stripe forthe majority of his points.

However, the 27-year-old pointguard's speed should dimish as Fa-ther Time will tell if that will affecthis performance near the tail end ofhis career shortly after receiving amax deal as Arenas did in 2009. I amnot questioning the ability of bothplayers or their will to win games,but it has been evident over the yearsthat both superstars have traveled asimilar path and the future does notlook as promising from a team playstandpoint. Paying Wall such an ex-orbitant amount of money as Leon-sis did for Arenas could fall apartwith any unforeseen injuries. In turn,that could lessen the amount of capspace to bring in a future Hall ofFamer such as Kevin Durant whodecided not to team up with onlyBradley Beal and Wall in search ofan NBA championship-calibersquad in 2017. In order to have ashot at winning an NBA champi-onship, the Wizards might want toconsider dealing Wall to have somewiggle room in adding more talentedplayers instead of putting all of theireggs in one frail basket which hasbackfired on the organization al-ready.

Shockingly enough, both play-ers’ careers have aligned, and thoughboth are regarded as two of the bestpoint guards in franchise history,Wall's fate could end in a similarfashion.
