  • Obituary: Eugene, Doris A.

    Doris A. Eugene May 17, 1934 ~ April 8, 2024 Lifetime advocate for children & education Doris Ann Eugene, 89, passed away Monday April 8, 2024, in Easton, MD. Doris was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on May 17, 1934 to Louis P. and Lucille (Rossi) Gaudin. Doris was married for 66 years, to Gerard L. Eugene, also of New Orleans, and a pharmacist with the US Public Health Service. Doris lived on both coasts of the United States as Gerard was stationed in New York (twice), Connecticut, California and Washington, DC.  When Gerard retired from the USPHS, they decided to remain in the DC area.  Doris and Gerard raised their four children (2 sons and 2 daughters) in Beltsville, MD where Doris lived in the same house for 51 years before moving to a retirement community in Easton, MD in February 2021. Wherever they lived, Doris was always involved with the PTAs of her children’s schools. She was twice elected as President of the Prince George’s County Council of PTAs.  In 1978, Doris was appointed by then Maryland Governor Winfield M. Kelly, Jr. to fill a vacancy on the Board of Education of Prince George’s County.  Doris won election to the PGC School Board three times, serving a total of 14 years, including multiple terms as the Board’s vice-chairman and chairman. Upon her retirement in1992, Doris received many letters of commendation and appreciation from across local, state and national educational groups, and from Maryland’s US Representative Steny Hoyer and US Senator Barbara Mikluski. In 1994, Doris was honored to be nominated and included among the “Women of Achievement in PGC History.” After retiring from the School Board in 1992, Doris and Gerard enjoyed many years of traveling both the United States and the world with their friends.  Among their favorite trips, besides visiting family in New Orleans for Oyster Po’boys, were trips to Alaska and the Artic Circle; to the majestic beauty of the Grand Tetons, Mt Rushmore, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon; to Holland during tulip season; to South America and traveling through the Panama Canal; and a river boat cruise through Russia. In addition to education and traveling, Doris’ passions included quilting and playing cards.  On their many trips, Doris and her friends taught many a traveler “Liverpool Rummy.”  Almost every visit with her daughters ended with a game of Liverpool or “Fourteen,” a good card game for two to four people. Doris also enjoyed music, sports, reading and the “slots.” Doris is survived by her children, Michael (Rose), Yvonne, Renee, and Stephen (Renee); 10 grandchildren, Christopher (Magda), Daniel (Ting), Patrick (Andrea), Erica, Brent (Ashley), Jenna (Jake), Adam, Abigail, Sarah, and Emily; and 6 great-grandchildren, Jaxon, Waverly, Eliza, Penny, Adrienne, and Jette; many nieces and nephews; and dear friends. Doris was predeceased by her husband Gerard Eugene, sister Jean Gaudin deMonsabert Powers, and son-in-law Robert Genova

  • Letter To The Editor from C.F.J.

    UPDATE: Editor, Beltsville News, After reading and going to post the last correspondence I sent you, here's the follow up E-Mail I sent to Federal and County Authorities. We NOW know WHO is Tipping these Automotive Businesses off on Rt. 1. After that Blue BMW with NO TAGS (Attached) was Reported to All The County and State Authorities, Listed in the Below E-Mail Addresses. The Next Morning @ 6:00 AM it was Removed. So! Make sure in your next article you List the four people that were sent those E-Mails. 1. Shenika Shaifer - Revenue Authority 2. William (Bill) Edelen - Code Enforcement 3. Angela Alsobrooks - County Executive 4. Councilman Dernoga - Beltsville's Councilman His office sent me an E-Mail the next day??? The Sixth Such E-Mail in the past 2 years??? This Issue has been terrorizing our Streets for over 2 years now. And not until we watched these cars jockeying for parking spaces on our residential streets and a Child getting off the School Bus, Who was Almost Struck by one of these Illegal Vehicles, DID anyone take Notice. It's Time the Residents of Beltsville know the County has taken Sides with these despicable Automotive Businesses on Rt. 1. And it is obvious NOW, that Someone in the County is Warning these Businesses. WHY?$$$$$ Original Letter: Latest Update on County Revenue Being Wasted. The Blue Nissan Murano, First Ticket #24-00004294 on 01/18/2024 - Second Ticket #24-00006890 on 01/25/2024 where 1st. Citation was issued - Third Ticket #24-00012419 on 02/21/2024 2nd. Citation issued. WAS FINALLY REMOVED ON March 8, 2024. Which for Environmental Reasons, left behind an oil slick and parts on the roadway, which neighbors tried to clean up. We Move On to the New MO. for these Automotive Businesses that have been ALLOWED to Dump these Illegal and Unauthorized Vehicles on our Residential Streets. In the middle of the night on 03/17/2024, three vehicles pull up on Caroline Ave. Two are parked real close behind a neighbors vehicle, to hide the fact they have NO TAGS. They drive off leaving a Red BMW and a Blue BMW Convertible. In the middle of the night on 03/18/2024 they come back and remove the Red BMW and remove the tag on the BLUE BMW. The Neighbors vehicle was removed exposing the Blue BMW with NO TAGS. So the latest Ticket Number #24-00020008, Now goes to Abandoned Vehicles instead of Parking Authority. So! Let's see which Agency of the County will NOTIFY which ever Business on Rt. 1 that's Dumping these Vehicles, before the County get's to come out and Remove it? More Revenue Wasted. You Know, The County Executive just announced a shortfall in revenue in the County's Budget and is looking for places to cut?? County Residents Speaking Out, C.F.J.
