<div><br><div style="text-align:justify" align="justify"><span>Many of the kids who attend Templeton Elementary, our neighborhood school on Carters Lane, do not get an opportunity to spend much time outdoors. Some of them live in apartments or in what some would describe as perhaps an unsafe area and, their parents often do not let them go outside and play. They look at life through a window. But starting next spring, the TES students will experience the great outdoors when they are in school. TES has partnered with the organization "REAL School Gardens" and, was selected as the 100th school to participate in a design contest for what TES' ideal garden would look like. Mrs. Barton, the Earth Day teacher at TES, working with the students stated that "we </span><span>chose three original plans from a second grader, third grader and fourth grader and, hope to incorporate some of their ideas, e.g., vegetable gardens, butterfly gardens, a water feature like a pond to observe wildlife, and rain buckets, into the actual school garden. The overall goal of the garden will be to give students and teachers an opportunity to have hands-on outdoor instruction. All grade levels will be welcome to use the garden and REAL School Garden staff will work with TES teachers for three years to help them adapt lessons that will meet the needs of specific age groups using components from the garden. </span><span>Mrs. Barton further indicated that </span><span>"this garden is going to be such a great learning tool for the area and we are going to encourage all community members to come by, help with the upkeep, help in ensuring the garden remains a safe haven and valuable resource to the students and community. We are creating an amazing space together". CKAR l<span>ooks forward to its continuing partnership with TES. CKAR encourages our businesses to become actively involved with the school!</span></span><br></div></div>

<div><br><div style="text-align:justify" align="justify"><span>
<div>On October 6, 2015, the Prince George's County Council voted to permit food trucks in Prince George's County for the first time in a decade<span>. Karen Toles and Mary Lehnman co-sponsored the legislation. </span>The mobile eateries will have to operate in approved "food truck hubs" (capped at 12 hubs), located within a quarter-mile of certain Metro stations and county parks. They <span style="font-size:10pt">are still not allowed to park in residential neighborhoods and are not allowed to vend from the side of the road. </span><span style="font-size:10pt">The Prince George's County Revenue Authority (which operates 24/7) is authorized to ticket, fine and tow</span><span style="font-size:10pt"> any violators. Food truck vendors must comply with strict rules on garbage disposal, undergo extensive safety and health inspections, and pay a considerable business licensing fee - $500 for 60-day operation and $3,500 for longer periods. </span><span style="font-size:10pt">A committee of citizens will oversee the food-truck program. Each hub will be managed by a coordinator to ensure compliance with the various regulations.</span><span style="font-size:10pt"> The council voted to exclude four Metro stations as possible hub locations - Branch Avenue, West Hyattsville, Largo Town Center and Prince George's Plaza - after the council members who represent those locations said their constituents were concerned that food trucks would draw crime or trash or have other negative impacts. This is a first-step for the food truck hubs and will allow more healthy options, as well as allow individuals to become entrepreneurs in a county that has numerous food deserts. </span></div>

The team, partnering with District 3 County Councilwoman Dannielle Glaros and the Town of Riverdale Park, provided letters of support to the Commissioners requesting that the $50,000 investment </span><span>in upgrades to the building exterior or interior <strong>not be</strong> waived.</span><span> Councilwoman Glaros' letter specifically stated that indicating that "the $50,000 </span><span>investment requirement is critical to shed the "seedy" image of so many of our alcohol stores; to encourage Prince George's County residents to spend their discretionary dollars in Prince George's County establishments; and, to help improve our communities." </span><span>The Commissioners agreed that the $50,000 investment was crucial to the appearance of the County and, community and that if investments were not made by establishments within a year, the license would be revoked. CKAR's presentation included additional and grave concerns about one neighborhood establishment selling alcoholic beverages to intoxicated individuals. This activity <span>has become a public nuisance for the community: loitering, public urination and pan handling</span>. <span>Before the end of the hearing, an agreement was made by the owner of that business to withdraw his request to waive the $50,000 investment requirement.</span> The owner and CKAR members will meet on a regular to discuss concerns, ideas and to hopefully, develop a sustainable and beneficial relationship that will be supportive of the community! </span></div></div>

This year we continued to beautify Templeton Elem. with bulbs, shrubs and trees. </span><span>Students from William Wirt Middle School and Bladensburg High School were able to receive community-service hours for the time and dedication they spent on the project. They were also able to receive a hands-on lesson with the gift of trimming trees as our TKCA member, Mr. Ashraf, diligently beautified Carters Lane. This is an excellent opportunity for you, our businesses, to become a partner and help to beautify your establishments.
