h's obvious from reading the Roosevelt Center merchants' rc· cent lcucr to the New11. Rc ... iew that the suuation is dtsastrous.

Smce I moved to a GHI house on Laurel Hill m l987, I can count OFI un~

hand the number uf times. I've seen a Greenhch police car on routine patrol on laurel Hill Rood.

Now one solution seems ob\11· ous. Some resident5 at the Parkside de\lclopmcnl are saymg they hu"w"e routine patruls by the Greenbelt police department even though they on: 001 in Gftenbelt.

10e solullon: F1nd out if th1s 1s true and, if ll is, re-as.s1gn those patrols to Roosevelt Mall or Laurel Hill or o.1ther parts uf Greenbelt. And let's realiu that the pollee for..:e is too under­staffed to stretch lt5elf w Parks1de

De/end What? Sint·e Mr. Whttc's rca~on for

voting for the anne~~:allon was to "defend our southern houndJry." I called the Riverdale town admm­IStrator to find out if they were planning to go to war with us or something. I found out thai they patrol hoth !!.ide!!. of Good Luck Road up to the nonh curh. I don't sec anythtng wrong with !hat. Beyond the curb IS our

green helt. which is our natural hordcr We agreed that "good fcn.:~..·s make good neighhors," su our towns can be separated by the green belt .. which I pro­claimed as a blessing to all of our towns. I don't see what Mr White wants to defend us against, c~cept for mudslides.

Halloween Poll

"I Don't Know" Beats Glendening by 1 Vote! by Poua Lo ..

La.'il year, Halloween fell on a Friday, and I didn't want to do anything to celebrate 1t other than hand out Bible tracts. This year, however, as soon as the sun set, I wa.~ oul scaring the kids in the most effective way possible.

I would give them a choice of candy, then ask them, "II you could vote ne'x.t Tuesday, who would you vote forT' Some of them were so taken ahack by the question that they nearly forgot their candy. Many were helped by parents from the street. who also gut to vote. Quite often, the oldest would vote for someone, and everyone else with him/her would e.:ho the chuice .

Here, then, were the voles cast between 6 and 9 p.m .• in de­scending order:

Don't Know, 25: Glendening, 24; Sauerhrey, 9; Nobody, 7: Doug Love ("You'"), 6 (a true honor); The Witch, 4 (Some of these may have been for Sauerbrey, Mikulski, or Audrey Scott. Or did they see my mom through the door'!); "My Mom," 2; Rodney (Rob·

ens), 2: I Give Up, 2: Not Bill ClirMon, 2; Bill Clinton':-. Head, I (May have been for Mrs. Clinton); Mrs. Clinton, I; Abraham Lincoln. I; and I wouldn't (vote), I (Disappomt· ment of the night).

I promised them thai next year they can vOle: for City Council.

oz ccoatlDoocltrumP.Io n meeting. Paul Sanche1, theater owner, said he would close its dbors in December if business did not improve·. Last month, he sent a lener w council slat­ing that he had rece1ved his tax statement from 1997 showing that he continue:~ to lose money on the: opcrathln. In that leuer, he, then. muvt'd his closing date to the: end of October. The city's !tpunsorship of the film festival extends the lheatcr's J.tay in Roosevelt Ccn­ler for al least six \more months, Sanchez said. ;

The first leg or the fitln les· ti'lal will run every day Of the week for two weeks at SS for evening shows and $3 for mati· nees and for University of Maryland students. The festival will pick up steam again (_)n December 18 for six days with lhe restored versiOn of "The King and I" nnd ''The Sof!nd of Mu•ic." I

After April. the plan:-. drc: un­certain, said Sanche/, adding: "It's' all up in the air," he said. "A lot uf it depends un iif the town can help me increase the

attendance to cut losses. If it won·t. I'll ha\le to close it."

In addition to temporarily underwriting the film restival. the city also mstalled on Mon­day new redwood s1gns for Roosevelt Center. At lhe Sep­tember council meellng.

The city is wnrking with concerned cUilens to save the historic Greenbelt Theater. The theater has been a fixture in Roosevelt Center stnce Greenheh was founded and has played an integral role in tbe life or Greenbelt residents and Greenhell's neighbors.

Those Greyhouads Seea Arouad Town •••

by Teaaa Morse Suppose you are a grey­

hound. (No. not the enormous, ei&ht-wheelcd. &mokc-belchins cruiser of the back roads of Middle America, but the dog.) What do you think is the ques­tion mosl frequently asked about you? Answer: "Is that a Dalmatian?"

A frequent qucsl~on Brcu Weeks hears from his Greenbelt neiahbors during daily walks with three Greyhounds, is whether the two block and while colored Greyhounds arc, in fact, Dalmallans. Children often assume that after viewing the 101 Dalmatians movie. Weeks is one of several Grccnbehcrs who have opened their homc5, and hearts, to ani­mals who may hne otherwise been killed after thear careen as racing dogs ended.

People also wonder how the dogs manage in these small homes. Contrary to the impres·

_ sion many. people have, Grey­hounds make good family pets as they" re good-natured around children. loyal lo their owners, and have, as Weeks likes to de­scrihe, an on/off button. "1ltey love to walk and run outdoors, but immedialely· 1urn into couch potaloes when they"rc inside the house." Two of 11¥: Weeks dogs demon!itrated this trait to this report~r as each took up their l'e!.pccti ve positions at op­posite ends of the sofa.

Considering these dogs arc bred and groomed for the busi­ness of racing, they adapt re­markahly wdl to Greenbelt life. They spent the1r formauve years in t·ratc:"i. and were re­leased only for ra..:mg and ext'r­..:tse. Yet. the dogs' sociahlt'

nature and intelligence enable them to quick.ly adjwt to a sub­urban lifestyle. The suburban "newness" includes children, other family peu, and even stairs - modern trappin&s we take for granted.

Outside, the leashed dogs travel well together - walking in unison rather than pulling in opposin& directions. These dogs actually prefer aroups. This tendency to stay close to one another, and to their owner. prompts Weeks to nickname them the "Velcro Dogs ...

Wanla11oSqlllrnlo People know Greyhounds a~

racing dogs, but they were originally bred for hunting Weeks' two pel ferrets (who es­tablished a place in the house­hold prior to the dogs' arr1val) ap·pear to have a suicidal-like tendency to test thetr housemate5' hunting instincl. The ferrets (cute and cuddly -contrary to some public opm­ion) enJOY nipping al the•r heck The reponer didn't no· lice any overt hosttluy on the Greyhounds' part, but learned that, JUSI recently, an un.&Spect­ing Greenbelt squirrel Plet an untimely death at the hands (or paws) of the dog5.

Dog owners need to consider keeping these dogs leashed or within a fenced yard. The dogs' speed (up to 45 MPH) t·an be detrimental to th~1r

safely 1f they spot a wayward squirrel. Additionally, the dogs easily be..:omc lost as they de­pend more upon thctr saght than upon the !>..:ent of thc1r lcrntorv (All· GHr houses look alike' 1 -

"Music Man" at Goddard Is Classy Entertainment

by Allorlo Bell Roas The Goddard Space Flight

Center's Music and Drama C(ub (MADD) played "The Music Man," to a full house that included Elmo. Raggedy Ann and Andy. a big black cal, clowns, and to other theater gocrs on Halloween night. And the show, diret:ted hy Greenbelt Arts Center director Mary Lou Fisher, was definitely a treat.

In Meredith Willson's musi­cal. traveling salesman Harold Hill (Randy Barth) arrives in River City, Iowa. to sell band instruments to its youngsters the Fourth of July weekend of 1912. Marian Paron (Erica Drelek), the town'!\ l1hrarian and piano teacher i!\ leery of the smooth talking Hill, su 1s Mayor Shinn (Gene Smith).

On Saturday night, this sus­picion created a tension that tent to some rich acung. Barth handled the role of Hilt skill­fully. He was flamhoyant, flat­tering, and fun -* all the char­acleristics needed l<l carry off such a mammoth role. Drczek's acting demonstrated

nice -touch. The stage layout was ideal for those seated adja· cent to it, but for those near the wall~ it was difficult to sec 1hc full stage. Somelimes, it also was hard lo hear singers who were performing around the stage.

The set was plain and simple. The stage ctew rotated the panels with tittle fuss, which made for quick scene changes. On one rare occasion, a panel got stuck, and the audi­ence cheered when the crew freed it. Besides the set, the fine acting was packaged well in period appropriate costumes. The men also wore straw hats, and the women donned white gloves. The delicate lace blou~ and jacket Drezek wore near the end of the performance was particularly striking.

Now, this is family entertain­ment with class. There's still time to enjoy this dinner theater at 6:30 p.m. on Novemher 12 and 19. Tickets must be pur­cha!>ed 1n advance at 30 I· 6.57-4220. and it is ·a treat worth consumin~ well after

great depth. The audience Halloween. watched as she tran!\formcd from a shrewd "old maid" to a compassionate woman m love by play's end. Sm11h wa'i ..:un­sistently humuruu~ as he ..:on* tinued lo misstate word!\ in an mfectious way. M:-.. Paroo':-. brother, Winthrop. played hy eight-year-old Lu("a:o. Crowley was e"'cellent a1o. wa!-1 his brother, Jesse. in "Bye Bye Bm.he." Lucas carried off the part of a Hsping child v~ry con­vmcingly and wilh conf1dence.

The Greenbelt Grab B

Author, composer. and ar­ranger Willson was a native of Iowa, who grew up in the pe­riod for which he wrote. He left for New York w ~tudy mu­sic. While there, he also com­posed music and Jed an' orches­tra on the radio. It wok him e1ght. years, 30 draftJ.., and 40 soilgs to wnle "The Music Man." The effort wa1o. worth­while. The Broadway show's big hit was the march, "Seventy-Si"' Tromhones," in which Hill extolled the virtues of having a school band. Beautiful singing accompanied this grand music. The show's choir was composed of young children, even an infant, through to very mature adults. A nice blend of voices belted out "Iowa Slubborn," among other pieces. Drcz.ck sang me­lodiously in "Goodnight, My Someone." The barbershop quanet that was supposed to be the school board commented on the play's action. These guys (Steve Bilanow, Jesse Holt, Patrick. Kennedy. and Ian Richardson) really could harmo-nize, cspe~iatly when singing "Good Nisht, Ladies."

Soon a bell was ringing. That bell was telling everyhody that it was storytime.

Suddenly. I heard a child an­nounce in his most grown-up voice, "I am not a baby!" OK.

There was a Halloween story bemg enthusiastically read; the children were tnraptured. The first Halloween story was swiftly

llalloweeD Tour: Aaother Gnat Job by Jerry Healey

Once again the night of ghosts and strange 'beings has graced us and it was time to put our efforts together and ..:reate a trail. enjoyable for all ages and a linle spooky for our older groups. We were two nights away from this annual spectacular affair, as we all met al a well-decorated yard in Greenbelt. There were SO uncarved pumpkins awaitihg uur skillful hands to turn them inw wonders of the season. The local Boy Scouts and par· eniS with the "Committee to Save the Green Belt" began cu cumplete thls mission.

The following Saturday some S..:nut~. along With my­self. met at lhc trail at Nunhway Wouds to plan th1s special event. As the work be­gan, many more showed up to help, and within 8 or 10 hours we were ready lo begin.

As the sun sank into dark­ness. the cars full of viititor!> and brave souls gathered the

· nerve to walk along the trail. They were ~reeted by a story­teller and a hot cup of c1der or hot chocolate. '

As they proceeded 111 the he· ginning of our trail, thCy were stopped and asked to please he patient by two well-drc\~ed pi­rate~. In a few moment!> all

were met by a aentle and graceful &host, who took them through the start of a memo~ rahle evening. As they walked, lhey were entertained by a dancer and drummer. a ghoul sitting on a couch telling them which way to go, and ended up al a door. Our ghost knocked on the door and asked to be guided into the spooky section.

Another guide ,took us past ghosts, ghouls, vampires, a wolfman and a mad jester, where we ended up at a dark tunnel. A~ we proceeded through this, we ended up in a quaint little cemetery, wh1ch was a little too quiet As we walked the trail, aware of the darkne!>s around us, we saw a light at the end uf the trail. This was a spectal creal for our younger groups, where they were given a baa and tb.rec. spots to trick or treat after be~ ing wished a happy and safe Halloween by a magic wizard.

I would like to take this time to thank everyone who helped this year - from carv­ing pumpkins to working the

· trail, telling storie!!o and the wonderful hoi treats. I hope yuu will do this each year and gel more people mvolved. for to do th1s event takes a lot of planning, time and most of all patience · huh Paul? Thanks!
