Sun can’t cut through chill

Sun dominates, especially during the
first half of the day, but it doesn’t do
much to heat the cold air. Highs only
manage the near-40 to mid-40s
range. Winds are gusty, meaning
wind chills are a good 10 degrees below the actual
temperature and only peak in the 30s. Winds are
about 15 to 20 mph out of the northwest in the
morning to midday, then wane later. Some gusts
should blow near or past 30 mph.

A Prince George’s County high

school teacher has been arrested

and faces second-degree assault

and child abuse charges after she

was captured on video getting

into a fight with a student, au-

thorities said.

The incident unfolded at

around 10:23 a.m. Friday at Lar-

go High School in a classroom

with about 30 students, Prince

George’s County Police Chief

Hank Stawinski said.

There was “physical contact”

between the student and the

teacher before the “teacher then

engages in a physical assault of

that student,” Stawinski said.

Investigators spent several

hours Friday interviewing 40 s tu-

dents and staff who witnessed

the interaction and are working

to determine what sparked the

“extremely violent” reaction

from the teacher, Stawinski said.

The video has been circulating

on social media and Stawinski

warned that “no video captures

the entirety of a set of circum-

stances.”

The student involved is a 17-

year-old senior and the teacher is

in her 30s, said Monica Goldson,

CEO of Prince George’s County

Public Schools. The teacher has

been with the school system

since November 2018, Goldson

said. Police said they would re-

lease the teacher’s n ame after she

has been formally charged.

The incident occurred in what

Goldson said is a “core content”

class which could cover topics

such as math, science or English.

“I am extremely disappointed

by the horrific actions that took

place today,” Goldson said.

Goldson said someone hit an

emergency button in the class-

room, launching school security

to the scene to break up the fight.

Neither the student nor the

teacher required medical atten-

tion, police said.

Prince George’s County Execu-

tive Angela D. Alsobrooks said

she was “absolutely irate” watch-

ing the video depicting “repre-

hensible” behavior but added it

doesn’t represent the other

teachers who work for the school

system.

“Everything about this partic-

ular incident was completely un-

acceptable,” Alsobrooks said.

“This was deeply disturbing...

we will ensure that this does not

continue to happen in our class-

rooms.”

these trees over the years, said

this year’s leaves fell when they

were “on the greener side” com-

pared with some other seasons.

That’s because the hard freeze

hit early in November, before the

foliage had progressed to peak

yellow.

It’s “unfortunate, since they

are rather pretty at peak,” Liv-

ingston said. “I’d say it probably

had another week or so till peak.

They are usually one of the later

trees to reach peak.”

While this year’s ginkgo leaf-

drop happened on the early side,

climate change is projected to

delay this process as the date of

the first hard freeze advances

later into the fall. Studies of

leaf-drop in Japan and leaf-color-

ing in South Korea have already

demonstrated shifts deeper into

the season.

proportion of those leaves come

down on one night,” in a 2015

interview with Margaret Roach,

who hosts a gardening public-ra-

dio show and podcast.

Crane’s book says that the

ginkgo has “the most synchro-

nized leaf drop of any tree I

know.”

Most trees develop protective

scarring in their stems over the

course of a few weeks, and leaves

fall off sporadically. “But gink-

goes form the scar across all their

stems at o nce,” t he Atlantic wrote.

“The first hard frost finishes

severing every leaf, and they rain

to the ground in unison.”

While the Washington-area

ginkgo trees are denuded, they’ve

padded sidewalks and lawns in a

carpet of green and a few hints of

yellow.

Green today. Gone tomorrow.
With the blast of Arctic air on
Tuesday night, and temperatures
crashing into the 20s, the foliage
on ginkgo trees didn’t stand a
chance.
Fully leafed and green early
this week, the trees in the Wash-
ington region are now mostly
bare. In less than a day, the trees
shed the majority of their leaves.
This is normal. The Atlantic
described the sudden leaf-drop a s
“one of autumn’s most famous
performances.” The New Yorker
dubbed this annual event the
“Night of the Ginkgo.”
Peter Crane, the Yale Universi-
ty botanist who wrote an entire
book on ginkgoes, said, “it often is

A Bowie police lieutenant was

indicted Thursday on a charge of

misconduct in office for an Au-

gust 2018 shooting in which he

fired at a vehicle that fled from a

traffic stop, the Prince George’s

County State’s Attorney’s Office

said.

A grand jury handed up the

indictment against Lt. Ernest

Stanley after a probe that deter-

mined he fired three shots to-

ward a vehicle with two people

inside, according to a statement

from State’s Attorney Aisha

Braveboy and court records.

Soon after the Aug. 8, 2018,

incident, Bowie police officials

tweeted that an officer made a

traffic stop at Elder Oaks Boule-

vard and Excalibur Road about

5:20 p.m. Bowie Police Chief John

Nesky said at the time that a

physical altercation happened

during the stop and that the

officer “discharged his weapon.”

Prosecutors said Stanley, who

was in uniform, fired on the

vehicle after the driver accelerat-

ed and fled. Stanley fired three

rounds from his service weapon,

with one striking the vehicle,

prosecutors said.

No injuries to the occupants of

the vehicle were reported, police

said at the time.

“Police officers are sworn to

operate with the highest degree

of professionalism and integrity

and to protect the public,” Brave-

boy said Thursday in a statement.

“By firing his weapon at a fleeing

vehicle when there was no immi-

nent threat, we believe this offi-

cer put the occupants of the

vehicle and members of the com-

munity in danger.”

Nesky said last year that the

officer, who had been on the force

for 10 years as of 2018, suffered a

minor injury during the incident.

No attorney was listed for

Stanley, a ccording to online c ourt

records. Stanley could not be

reached for comment.
