During the early 1970s, only a limited amount of programs were available to the public, but has since then expanded to address the growing and changing needs of the disability community. From specialized therapeutic recreation programs to the wide range of disability accommodations to LIVE THE SPIRIT promote and support the option for inclusive recreation, We are passionate, collaborative the Department supports and offers a full continuum of programs and services for people of all abilities and ages.

he public first met Desiree (or Desi, as her family, friends and colleagues call her) in 1994, when she was featured in the “Celebrating Twenty Years of Service” edition of this publication. At that time, she had been actively involved in a variety of recreational programs and activities sponsored by the Special Programs Division (SPD) for years. Desi was just a young girl when she participated in her first SPD program – a specialized “Learn-to-Bike” program where she learned to push her first pedal. It was a skill that once acquired, was never forgotten and continued to open the doors to a lifetime of opportunities and adventures. Desi eventually was able to use her biking skills in international cycling competitions and win two Olympic medals: a Gold medal in the 10K cycling competition at the 2014 Special Olympic Games in New Jersey, and a Silver medal (and 4th place) in the 2007 Special Olympic Games in Shanghai. Today, Desi has continued her pursuit of a healthy recreation and leisure lifestyle by staying actively engaged in a variety of programs sponsored by SPD. In addition to cycling, she continues to be involved in the Northern Area softball team in Riverdale; a member of the adult social club, “Friendly Bunch,” and a participant in SPD’s special events including the Holiday Hop and Spring Fling dances. The years of being involved in these programs and interacting with others played a significant role in her social life, as she was able to gain lifelong friendships with some of her closest peers. Twenty years later, Desi has become an accomplished woman in many aspects of her life. Thanks to years of special programming with M-NCPPC, Desi has developed the skills for a happy and independent life; she’s able to travel independently and has developed key motor and social skills, which have helped her personally and professionally to maintain rewarding friendships and employment. We couldn’t be more proud of Desi and her achievements and we look forward to seeing what she accomplishes next!

The heart of their sound is a combination of all that is New Orleans: Dixieland, Zydeco, swing, Cajun, and rock n’ roll.

Through layers of paper, paint, charcoal and various other materials, Ms. Compton first deconstructs and then reconstructs her portraits, all the while searching for the physical and emotional thread of each person she paints. The resulting portraits are thus visually charged with energy, color, texture and movement.

Unmapped
People often speak of taking a “journey” through art. It’s been said so often that in our fast-paced information environment where it’s more normal to scan and move on than to consider things deeply, it’s easy to forget what that really means. Artists Pat Goslee, Ellyn Weiss, and Sally Resnik Rockriver each use art as a method of discovery, responding to forms and materials then building on them to find what’s there. Whether it’s finding the balance in giving up control to a chemical reaction, investigating material properties, or the conscious act of constructing energetic movement through paint, all three artists make provocative statements about the ways that meaning is created through the interaction of process with form. Together, their exhibition invites us to open up to things we don’t know, things that aren’t written out first then repeated as art, where our paradigms don’t fit, areas Unmapped.

Blues harmonica player, singer, and songwriter James Cotton has performed and recorded with many of the great blues artists of his time. Although he played drums early in his career, Cotton is most famous for his work on the harmonica. In 1965 he formed the James Cotton Blues Quartet, and in the 1970s, Cotton played harmonica on Muddy Waters’ Grammy Award-winning 1977 album Hard Again, produced by Johnny Winter. After battling throat cancer in the 1990s, Cotton has released two studio albums and continued to tour with his band.

Join us for a three-week series exploring the life and works of Alice Walker, with a special emphasis on her groundbreaking novel, The Color Purple. A multi-media approach to Ms. Walker’s power and originality as a woman and writer includes the film, her poetry, and discussion of her novel and its significance as a work of art that forever changed the topic of the African American experience and stamina. Sharing ideas about art and Ms. Walker’s approach to storytelling will give participants a chance to explore their own thoughts about personal identity and expression. These sessions will be led by Dr. Karen Arnold, former poet-inresidence at Montpelier Arts Center and current teacher at the Johns Hopkins Osher Institute for Lifelong Learning.

Before there was punk, there was a band called Death. In the early ‘70s, three teenage brothers formed a band in their spare bedroom and began playing a few local gigs, and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and the emerging disco. Record companies found Death’s music - and band name too intimidating, and the group was never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (or the first punk band), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.

A perfect introduction to the visual arts. Students will learn the basics of drawing, composition and color theory by creating a series of exciting projects including drawings, paintings, collages, and mixed media constructions. Call for a materials list.
Raku is ancient form of Japanese pottery that uses low firing temperatures and the removal of the pieces from the kiln while still glowing hot. Because this process creates a unique surface finish, often with crackled textures, Raku techniques have been adopted and modified by potters around the world. Through class demonstrations, participants will be taught an introductory understanding of raku pottery, firing procedures, kiln types, raku clay and glazes.

Resident Registration and Fees The Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission policy gives priority to Prince George’s County residents during program and class enrollment; it also increases registration fees by approximately 20 percent for non-residents, or those living outside Prince George’s and Montgomery Counties. This procedure ensures that the citizens who fund these programs through their tax dollars have the first option to enroll. After the priority registration period, registrations are accepted from residents of all jurisdictions. The fee schedule applies to all Commission programs and facilities in Prince George’s County, with a few exceptions such as performance tickets and historic site admission fees. *NOTE: Full payment is due at registration unless a class or program has a scheduled payment structure i.e. Kids’ Care, Trips & Excursions. Need help? E-mail the Park and Planning Help Desk at help4smartlink@pgparks.com

The Prince George’s County Planning Department needs YOUR input to help rewrite the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. Together, these two laws determine what gets built in the county, where it gets built, and what it looks like. The Planning Team is conducting a comprehensive rewrite to the current Zoning Ordinance to transform the zoning code into a user-friendly 21st Century Zoning Ordinance for Prince George’s County. The Zoning Ordinance has not been updated in over 50 years. In this time, the regulations have been amended numerous times, which has resulted in a 1,000 page document that is confusing, inconsistent, difficult to use, and presents obstacles for types of development that would support economic growth and improve the quality of life for county residents. With your help, the Planning Department will work to simplify the ordinance and regulations, making them easier to understand and better able to support economic development in the county. Take action TODAY and learn more about how you can help shape the future of development in Prince George’s County. Here are a few ways you can take action now:
