School pairing riles parents

School board

Student elected to seat Bethesda-Chevy Chase sophomore motivated to serve, empower peers

Plan calls for shared campus in North Bethesda n

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

In a nail-biter election, Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School’s Eric Guerci secured enough votes to become the next student at Montgomery County’s school board table. Guerci, Guerci a sophomore at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School, was elected by his fellow students to become the 38th student member of the board, or SMOB. The victory, he said, left him “shocked” and “honored.” “I really couldn’t believe it at ﬁrst, but it’s starting to hit me now,” he said Thursday, the day after the election. Guerci garnered, 33,046 votes, or 52 percent. The other contender — Rachit Agarwal, a junior from Richard Montgomery High School in Rockville — had 30,679 votes, or 48 percent. Guerci will take office in July, replacing current student board member Dahlia Huh of Clarksburg High School, who is graduating. The voter pool included

Fifth-grade members of the Aqua Eagles club at Westbrook Elementary School in Bethesda line the banks of the Potomac River on Thursday in Potomac to release American shad fry they raised. The school has raised and released shad fry for the last 20 years.

‘Stay away from open mouths’

Bethesda students offer advice to the shad fry that got away BY

PEGGY MCEWAN STAFF WRITER

There was a release party Thursday on the Potomac River, attended by Westbrook Elementary School students, teachers, parents, friends — and hundreds of shad fry. Students from the Bethesda school have raised American shad fry from fertilized eggs annually for the last 20 years, releasing them into the Potomac every spring. “We started the stocking program in 1995,” said Jim Cummins of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin. “I wanted students to bear witness to [the need], so I connected with Westbrook. That winter the kids were involved and in 1996 three schools, Westbrook, Sidwell Friends and Poolesville Elementary School, partici-

Frustrated community members say they feel shut out of a project process for the possible pairing of Tilden Middle School and Rock Terrace School. Not only have their voices been missing, but the project plan is flawed, they told the Montgomery County school board April 27. Interim Superintendent Larry Bowers recently proposed housing about 1,200 Tilden students with about 100 from Rock Terrace on the same North Bethesda site on Tilden Lane. The county school board is expected to vote on the plan May 12. Rock Terrace serves students with signiﬁcant cognitive disabilities and is currently housed in an aging building from 1950. Aiming to provide Rock Terrace with a better facility, the district identified Tilden’s upcoming construction project as a good opportunity to pair the special education school with a general education school. The combination of schools could mean a state contribution toward the project. Many speakers said the district had not given the commu-

Gaithersburg Book Festival Getting a Handel on hunger turns its eye to the margins Bethesda concert to raise funds for Manna Food Center

Bethesda writer brings diversity to the forefront

SAMANTHA SCHMIEDER STAFF WRITER

At the Gaithersburg Book Festival on May 16, attendees will be able to get a taste of diversity through panel discussions and stories in a variety of languages. “We almost never start off with a theme. Usually what happens is we go through our author recruitment process and our programming themes and at the end of that we see where we are,” said Gaithersburg Mayor and book festival founder Jud Ashman. He explained that as book festival organizers were looking over the authors they had and the books that were being featured they noticed

the overlying theme. Ashman said he reached out to Ellen Oh of Bethesda, who is the founder of We Need Diverse Books and the author of the “Prophecy” series, to host a panel. Oh, who had participated in the festival in the past, explained that she’s been an advocate for diverse books for a very long time. Oh explained that the organization started a hashtag campaign with “#WeNeedDiverseBooks,” inviting people to tell their stories through social media with pictures and Tweets. “It wasn’t just about race, it was about LGBTQIA, it’s about disabilities, it’s about religious minorities, it’s about anyone who has been marginalized in our culture,” Oh said, referring to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, asexual or allies of such people. She explained that when she was growing

Chamber of commerce honors Wheaton animal hospital Veterinary practice saved Ruby, a dog shot in the face

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

When Montgomery County police ofﬁcers rushed Ruby into Kindness Animal Hospital last August, veterinarian Jeff Zolkiewicz didn’t think the boxer mix would survive. Ruby had been shot in the side of her face with a shotgun. She was bleeding profusely and having trouble breathing. A shot had exited from the base of her ear, and her jawbone was shattered. She had a large wound on her neck and shoulder. Zolkiewicz, who graduated from the Virginia-Maryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine in 1994, and technicians had treated animals hit by vehicles and in ﬁghts before. But this was their most extreme case. More than eight months and five surgeries later, Ruby was prancing around happily at the Wheaton veterinary practice on Friday. “It’s amazing she is alive,” said Zolkiewicz, who adopted her. Kindness Animal Hospital was among the honorees during the Wheaton & Kensington Chamber of Commerce’s 31st annual awards banquet on April 29, receiving the organization’s Tribute Award. The center was

For Ruby now, a misaligned jaw is about the only noticeable trace of her ordeal. Kindness Animal Hospital treated Ruby at no charge after her owners agreed to release her to the center and Zolkiewicz. “Her previous owners likely would not have been able to pay for her surgeries and probably

would have had her euthanized if they kept her,” Zolkiewicz said. “The police have been very helpful through all this. They raised money and contributed money themselves. They also helped convince Ruby’s owners to give her up.” Ruby’s medical bills, including the surgeries and care with specialists, would have exceeded $10,000 if Kindness Animal Hospital had not donated the care and specialists hadn’t donated time and reduced care costs,

Sorenson is a co-founder of the Blue Alps, a tailored classiﬁed ads website used to exchange and share goods among Luther students, while promoting sustainability. Sorenson, son of Arne Sorenson and Ruth Sorenson of Chevy Chase, is a 2013 graduate of St. Andrew’s Episcopal School in Potomac.

Zolkiewicz said. Through an online donation site and other means, more than $7,000 was raised. Some of that money went to pay specialists’ bills. Zolkiewicz said the animal hospital, which has been in the area since 1956, is not charging anything for its bills related to Ruby. The center on University Boulevard is setting up a “Ruby Fund” for those who need help paying for services at the practice, he said. A family member in Ruby’s former Wheaton home shot her Aug. 21, according to police reports. Ruby was then 9 months old. Zolkiewicz said he decided soon after seeing Ruby’s condition to adopt her. “I felt that we might be able to help her,” he said. “But really, I didn’t know what all we would be able to do.” At Zolkiewicz’s Carroll County home, he said, Ruby gets along fine with his other family pets — another dog and two cats. She doesn’t seem abnormally frightened of people. As Ruby sat by a reporter she just met, she raised a paw to shake hands. Police officers such as Michelle Ballor, who responded to the call and rescued Ruby from the Wheaton home, regularly visit her. “She has a few anxieties,” Zolkiewicz said. “Around certain people, especially if they’re wearing a wide-brimmed hat, she can be apprehensive. But she seems fine around most people.” kshay@gazette.net

Homebuilders eye Bethesda parcel Winchester, Toll Brothers pairing up for radio tower land n

MARGIE HYSLOP

SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

Two major homebuilders are working on a deal to develop one of few remaining large open tracts of land in Bethesda. Winchester Homes of Bethesda and Toll Brothers of Horsham, Pa., are negotiating terms of a partnership to purchase nearly 75 acres north of the Capital Beltway where four WMAL radio towers stand. “We’re just trying to negotiate the contract and assist in any way we can,” said John T. Sheridan, senior vice president with CBRE, which is the broker. The parcel, near the Interstate 270 spur at 7115 Greentree Road, could ac-

commodate about 300 single-family houses or townhouses under its zoning, Sheridan has said. Although the residences would be in one of the region’s more expensive suburbs, county regulations would require about 15 percent of those residences to be “moderately priced.” Bids for the property came in at about $1 million per acre, or about $75 million, Sheridan said after the March 12 deadline for bids. Further details are the subject of conﬁdential negotiations, Sheridan said Tuesday. Calls to Winchester Homes, Toll Brothers and property owner Cumulus Media, which owns WMAL, were not returned by press time. Neighbors are concerned that the property’s development will mean that they not only will have to deal with overcrowded roads and schools, but will lose

access to the open land, which has been used as an unofﬁcial dog park. At least one bidder said his rejected offer would have preserved green space and reduced the impact on neighborhood roads and classrooms. Herb Patterson, president of Crown International Group, said his company was prepared to work out a school site and green space, and try to plan a senior development that would put less pressure on roads and schools. Potomac Highlands Camberley Townhomes in Potomac and Preserve at Rock Creek in Rockville are among Winchester Homes projects in Montgomery County. The Hampden Row condominium development in downtown Bethesda is among Toll Brothers’ projects. s. WMAL plans to shift its transmissions to other towers.

One of the biggest hurdles first time home buyers face is how to save enough money for the down payment on a new home. One way to get financial help is to make use of the little known FHA Bridal Registry Program. Created in 1996 by the U. S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), this program allows family and friends to make gift payments to a special interest bearing account that is set aside specifically for your home purchase.

The advantage of this program is that the paperwork is much simpler than ordinary financial gift requirements, and there is no limit to how large the gift can be. Even though the program was designed to help marrying couples, it also covers individuals and unmarried couples as well. So if you would rather have your friends and family help you with buying a new home instead of getting you another toaster, talk to your lender about setting up an FHA Bridal Registry.

individuals — of all backgrounds — towards a path of education,” a family statement said. Vance, who was 83, led the countyschooldistrictfrom1991to 1999 after serving in other school system roles. He was the district’s only black superintendent. He also was superintendent for Washington, D.C., schools and deputy superintendent for Baltimore city schools. In Philadelphia, his native city, he was a principal and a social studies/science specialist. His education experience also included service on the University

Montgomery County school board member Judith Docca recalled when she was a human relations specialist in the school district and Vance, then her su-

As superintendent, she said, Vance worked to ensure the district provided the right education and opportunities to all students. Docca also knew Vance when he was president of the Montgomery County chapter of the NAACP. Docca, an executive committee member, said Vance “wanted to unify” the organization and brought his education knowledge to the position. Board President Patricia O’Neill met Vance when she was a leader in the county PTA. In a meeting about a controversial topic, Vance was “very thoughtful, very kind” and listened to her and others.

“Now, as a school board member, I totally appreciate the fact of how he dealt with community members in difﬁcult situations,” she said. As superintendent, Vance faced changing demographics, growing enrollment and tough ﬁscal times, O’Neill said. He was “a very kind, intelligent, thoughtful, compassionate educator,” she said. Michael Durso, now school board vice president, was principal at Springbrook High School in Silver Spring for about two years of Vance’s time as superintendent. Vance was decisive, approachable, energetic, funny and “very student oriented.” “I think he left his mark on a lot of people, both students and staff,” Durso said. lpowers@gazette.net

Council panel recommends cutting school budget plans Proposals would trim education board’s request n

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

The Montgomery County Council Education Committee has recommended operating and capital budgets for Montgomery County Public Schools below what the county school board had requested. For the school system’s fiscal 2016 operating budget, the committee recommended a budget about $39.7 million under the board’s proposal of $2.39 billion. Interim Superintendent Larry Bowers said after the committee’s April 29 meeting that his decision to withhold allocating about 400 positions for the next school year could become permanent if the district needs to reconcile the roughly $40 million gap. Bowers withheld the positions in March to address uncertain funding with the idea that all or some of the positions might be allocated later. About 250 teaching positions could be reduced, about 150 of which would affect class sizes. The district could receive about $17.5 million in Geographic Cost of Education Index funding from the state, a decision that sits with Gov. Larry Hogan (R). The index provides additional money to school systems where the cost of education is higher. “We’re still hopeful that that $17 million’s going to come through and that will help us to be able to restore some of those positions,” Bowers said. Even if the district gets the index money, it would still need to address a “problematic” funding gap in the scenario the Education Committee approved, school board President Patricia O’Neill said after the meeting. “It’s all going to be painful,” she said. “Options are not pretty.” Montgomery County Isiah Leggett had proposed $2.31 billion for the school system’s next operating budget, an amount that meets the minimum funding level required by the state’s maintenance of effort law. The law forces counties to provide at least as much funding per student as the previous year. The school board asked for $84.7 million above maintenance of effort, according to school system spokesman Dana Tofig. Incorporating proposals from Leggett and the school board to pull money from various sources, the budget plan the Education Committee recommended still leaves a gap. The budget would pull about $33.2 million from the district’s fund balance. Another $27.2 million would come from the Consolidated Other Post Employment Benefits Trust to pay some of the school system’s retiree health costs. The district also would reduce a contribution to its pension plan by $10 million and use the money elsewhere. Onthecapitalbudgetside,the Education Committee endorsed a plan the school system created that sits about $210 million below what the school board requested in November for its fiscal 2015-20 Capital Improvements Program. The board asked for an amended capital program totaling $1.75 billion. Its request was $223.3 million higher than the previously approved program of $1.53 billion. Leggett recommended approving the amended program. His recommendation, however,

hinged on the success of a state bill that would have directed more school construction money to the county. The bill died in the recent Maryland General Assembly session. Leggett’s recommendation assumed $213.3 million in new state dollars, according to an April 27 Education Committee memo. The $210 million reduction the Education Committee approved, therefore, does not quite ﬁll the $213.3 million funding gap. The school system could make “minor technical adjustments” to reduce the program by the additional $3 million, O’Neill wrote in an April 15 letter to Council President George Leventhal. The state has directed about $27.6 million of school construction funding to Montgomery County for ﬁscal 2016. The Maryland Board of Public Works could

send more money the county’s way from a remaining unallocated pool of about $28 million. The county also would benefit from legislation that awaits the governor’s signature and would create a $20 million capital grant fund for school systems with high enrollment growth or portable classrooms. The district expects about $5.9 million from that fund for construction in fiscal 2016, generating a total of $33.5 million from the state. Bowers said April 29 that he thinks the state will provide more than the $40 million assumed in the school district’s fiscal 2016 capital budget. That money could help fill funding gaps, he said. The $210 million reduction was made by nixing some project accelerations the school board proposed. The board had requested ac-

ahead of their current schedule at Brown Station, Wayside and Wheaton Woods elementary schools. The district also would not add a requested $32 million bus depot project. Instead, the panel recommended adding $700,000 for planning work as school and county ofﬁcials search for opportunities to move the depot.

Seven projects for new schools or additions also would not be accelerated, contrary to the school board request. This change would not reduce costs in the capital program. Rather, it would push costs into the program’s later years, according to the Education Committee memo. lpowers@gazette.net

Purple Line foes threaten another suit Opponents of the Purple Line, mostly Chevy Chase residents, have notified Gov. Larry Hogan and other state officials of their intent to sue the state to stop construction of the proposed 16-mile, $2.5 billion light-rail project that would link Bethesda and New Carrollton. They claim that the state has failed to produce a “full and fair” environmental effects report as required by law for the project to proceed. Among their allegations are the following: • Undisclosed runaway stormwater would wash hazardous materials downstream with no containment or compliance plan. • A dredge and fill permit requires further assessment by the Maryland Transit Administration to provide “meaningful information” to the Army Corps of Engineers and the public. • The cost and benefits assessments in the current environmental impact statements are inadequate and misleading. The opponents say the top transportation priorities in the region should be improving the Metro rail system and relieving congested roadways, such as Connecticut Avenue at Chevy Chase Lake. Also, the Purple Line would not transport people to areas of high job concentration and state ridership numbers are not reliable, they claim. Several of the opponents, plus Friends of the Capital Crescent Trail, last year sued the federal government to stop the Purple Line, citing environmental damage and threats to rare amphipods — tiny, shrimp-like crustaceans — that may be present near where the line would run. University researchers’ efforts to find the amphipods there in December were unsuccessful. The federal suit, filed in District Court for the District of Columbia, is pending. Hogan is expected to announce a decision this month on whether to proceed with the Purple Line.

Gutierrez, Jawando are newest candidates in District 8 race BY

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Maryland Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez and attorney Will Jawando are the latest candidates to join the race for Maryland’s 8th Congressional District. Competition for the seat heated up in March when incumbent Christopher Van Hollen Jr. (D) of Kensington kicked off a campaign for U.S. Senate. Van Hollen decided to run when Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D) of Baltimore announced she would not seek another term in 2016. Gutierrez and Jawando join Del. Kumar Barve (D-Dist. 17) of Gaithersburg and Sen. Jamie B. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park in the race. Gutierrez noted that this is the ﬁrst time in years there has been an open race for Con-

After more than 25 years in public service, Gutierrez (DDist. 18) of Chevy Chase said, she feels her service to date has prepared her for this moment. “It’s been something I feel I’ve been training and preparing for all my life,” she said.

Stephen Trevisan

A retired engineer, Gutierrez, 73, has served in Maryland’s House of Delegates since 2003. She served on the Montgomery County Board of Education from 1990 to 1998. She also worked in the federal government under President Bill Clinton, she said.

Born in El Salvador, Gutierrez was the first Latina ever elected in Maryland and the first Salvadoran-American elected in the U.S. when she was elected to the board of education, according to a campaign news release. Jawando (D) worked on Capitol Hill, in the White House and for the Department of Education. He said he brings the most federal policy experience to the race. He also is the first candidate in the race who has not held public office. But Jawando, a lawyer with the Raben Group in Washington, D.C., who lives in Silver Spring, is no stranger to campaigns. He ran in 2014 for the Maryland House of Delegates in District 20 but lost in a primary. After the election, he started a nonprofit called Our Voices Matter aimed at increasing civic engagement in underserved communities. As a candidate, Jawando said, he visited many commu-

County Council considers making changes to renter law Bill calls for new requirements for leases, notice, survey data n

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Five years after a Montgomery County work group recommended more than 50 changes to county laws for renters, the County Council is considering revisions. Councilman Marc B. Elrich introduced a bill in April that would make several changes that stem from the Tenants Work Group’s recommendations, made in 2010. His bill would do the following: • Require the Department of Housing and Community Affairs to provide annual inspections of all rental units, with some exceptions. • Require the department to provide a standard lease upon request. • Require the department to

publish, on the county’s website, the information collected in the county’s annual rental housing data survey, including a table listing all rental housing with two or more units and the average rent increase for each unit. • Require all rent increases greater than 100 percent of the applicable rent-increase guideline to be reviewed by the county. • Require landlords to give tenants at least three months’ written notice before increasing rent more than 100 percent of the applicable rent increase guideline. • Allow tenants facing a rent increase that exceeds the applicable guideline to continue renting for up to two months on a month-to-month basis at the preincrease rate, provided the tenant gives at least 15 days of notice before moving out. • Require landlords to offer the option of renewing a lease for two years, instead of one. • Prohibit surcharges for month-to-month leases. Elrich (D-At Large) did not return messages requesting comment.

Tenant advocate Matt Losak said the changes are “common sense” and a step in the right direction, but renters still face growing challenges to housing security. Losak, who heads the Montgomery County Renters Alliance and chaired the Tenants Work Group, said the bill would provide renters with new stability, particularly around leases. “This is a modest measure to clean up some of the issues that everyone, most everyone, seems to agree are common-sense solutions to some common problems,” he said. Problems such as rent increases are common for tenants in the county. “Right now, as you know, there is no predictability in one’s annual rent increase,” he said. The proposed bill would provide two years’ worth of predictability by requiring landlords to offer the option of signing a two-year lease at renewal. A two-year lease prevents a tenant from facing potential “nonrenewal” of a lease for at least two years, he added. Land-

lords, he said, can choose to not renew a tenant’s lease, giving the tenant 60 days’ notice. Eliminating surcharges makes monthto-month leases more viable for some renters, he said. Losak said the county historically has based its policy around rental housing on data it collects voluntarily from landlords in the

annual survey. The proposed bill would make that data public. Responsible landlords should not object to the bill, Losak said. Councilwoman Nancy Navarro, a co-sponsor, said the changes would go a long way to protect renters. Montgomery County has seen an increase in renters and

most construction lately has been multifamily housing, said Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring. The bill touches on a few of the Tenants Work Group recommendations. Losak said his organization will push for others. kalexander@gazette.net

Continued from Page A-1 Franke is not afﬁliated with Music for Food, but she worked with a musician and Music for Food board member, Willem Von Eeghen, who lives in Washington, D.C., to bring the concert to Bethesda. “There is a good bit of food insecurity in Montgomery County,” Franke said. “Manna does a great job in collecting food and putting it in the hands of people who need it.” Manna distributes 16,000 pounds of food daily to local families and schoolchildren. Mark Foraker, the nonproﬁt’s director of development, said about 80 percent of Manna’s funding comes in the form of community donations, which is why it was critical for Manna to connect with organizations such as Music for Food. “We really like to be at that center of ending hunger in the county,” Foraker said. “So when we see other groups also working to end hunger, we try to partner with them as much as possible, working toward that common goal.” Though Music for Food is in Boston, the organization always partners with a local food pantry or hunger relief organization wherever it hosts shows,

Ashman said that he wanted to bring We Need Diverse Books to the festival because it is an important movement in publishing and within the community. “It’s important as a kid that you can relate to a character and you can relate to authors and see yourself in the story,” Ashman said. In addition to the online campaign, Oh said it is important to spread the word at festivals and conferences to reach as many people as possible.

according to Cinnante. Similar concerts have been held in Chicago and Los Angeles. Cinnante said the Bethesda performance will be the ﬁrst time the Music for Food has coordinated a concert in the Washington, D.C., region. On Sunday, Kang and Kozasa will perform with a string chamber ensemble of about 15 musicians, according to Franke. Music for Food founder Kim Kashkashian, a Grammy Award-winning violist, will host the concert but will not be a featured soloist, Franke said. The program includes Hindemith’s “Trauermusik,” Bach’s 6th Brandenburg Concerto and Handel’s “Concerto Grosso.” Cinnante said musicians who perform at Music for Food concerts volunteer their talents. No one is paid to perform. Most of the musicians at the Bethesda concert are like Franke — skilled hobbyists with a passion for music. “I play music for my own pleasure,” said Franke, a lawyer who was introduced to the cello as a schoolgirl in Bethesda. “Charitable giving is a very big part of my life. This is an opportunity to make a direct connection with important group in the community that’s serving a vital purpose.”

“When people speak, publishers respond, libraries respond and teachers respond,” Oh said. “It’s clear people are listening and it’s clear that people want things to change.” Each year Ashman said that people ask him what is new at the festival and each year he has trouble pinpointing just a few things. “Everything is new every year. We never have an author come and speak about the same book twice. Even if we have the same author, the conversation is different,” Ashman said. Though Oh has been to the festival, the panel is opening up a new conversation and the addition of the Multilingual Story Time Tent is continuing the conversation in other languages. “Here at Shady Grove we have a very important, very big

student body who are from different countries and we know that the community in Montgomery County is very diverse,” said Irene Munster, director of the Priddy Library at the Universities at Shady Grove. She explained that in the multilingual tent, university students will read books to families and children in their ﬁrst languages. “Something that is so simple we suddenly realized was so important,” Munster said. Munster said she hopes hosting the story time with so many different languages being represented will help make immigrant families feel welcome and accepted. Oh said being exposed to those who are different is important. “Empathy comes from learning about different people, different cultures, different backgrounds,” Oh said. “The more we learn, the more empathetic and passionate we can be.” Munster said the story time will continue throughout the day and stories will be read by students in Korean, Spanish, French, Vietnamese and many other languages. Ashman said his goal is to foster the next generation of readers, and doing so involves bringing in authors who represent the next generation with all different tastes and interests. “We are not trying to preach and we are not trying to lecture.

Electric vehicles can now charge up at more garages First ones in Bethesda; others in Silver Spring, Wheaton to follow

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

To help fuel the use of electric cars, the county is installing electric-vehicle charging stations in 11 public parking garages and lots in Silver Spring, Wheaton and Bethesda over the next few months. The ﬁrst three stations were placed recently in Capital Crescent garage 31 in Bethesda. That garage opened in January at the site of two former surface parking lots as part of a publicprivate, mixed-use development involving the county and developers StonebridgeCarras and PN Hoffman. The county Department of Transportation will monitor usage trends and plans to expand

the program to other garages and lots, said Jeremy Souders, acting chief of the Management Services and Property Development Section, under the Division of Parking Management. The stations operate like gasoline pumps, with users paying 13 cents per kilowatt hour. The total cost depends on the range of the vehicle and how charged it already is, Souders said. “It usually costs a couple dollars at a time, per charge,” he said. Users also pay parking fees, although that can be avoided if they use a station after hours, when the garages don’t charge to park. Users are limited to four hours at a time and can pay through a ChargePoint network card and credit card that is radio frequency identiﬁcation, or RFID, enabled. Besides Capital Crescent, the garages and lots in the ﬁrst phase of implementation are: • Silver Spring: BonifantDixon garage 5, Cameron-Sec-

Continued from Page A-1 nity a fair chance to comment on the idea. The process has been “undeniably unfair and undemocratic,” said Christopher Koegel, whose two children would attend the facility. “Please slow this down,” Koegel said. “It will result in a better ending, so that everybody is buying into this.” Rebecca Rudich, who said she lives in the Luxmanor neighborhood and has two children, urged the school board to “take more time and get the right answers for the schools and the community.” The process to pair the schools, she said, “has been fast-tracked and buried from community notice.” School board member Jill OrtmanFouse asked district staff if the communication process for the project was different than in the past. The district used the same process it has used before at the current project phase, said Deborah Szyfer, a senior planner in the district’s Division of Long-range Planning. A “frequently asked questions” packet at the hearing noted that roundtable discussion meetings held on the possible pairing were open to the public. The district also held two public information meetings. At the second meeting, attendees could provide input on a form. Rudich questioned why the roundtable discussion group did not include representatives from the community and from the elementary school level. Szyfer previously said the group included people who could talk about how the plan might affect the two school’s programs. The FAQ packet said that, consistent with district policy, members included staff and parent representatives from the two schools. Some speakers said the site was not a good one and suggested looking at other sites. Some of the criticisms about the site under consideration was that it is too small to accommodate both schools, bus and car trafﬁc would clog neighborhood roads, and the community would lose green space. Rachel Manchester told board members that the residential area already has a few schools. Adding the shared facility, with Tilden’s enrollment expected to grow, would build on existing trafﬁc, she said. Tilden, currently on Old Georgetown Road, is slated for a revitalization

and expansion project at the new site. District officials see Tilden’s central location in the county, access to major roads and experience with special education programs as a good fit for the pairing. James Song, the director of the school system’s Department of Facilities Management, said the roughly 20-acre site is “quite larger” than the typical middle school. Green space still would be available for community use, he said. Szyfer said the district expects the facility would need about 32 buses, a few more than were used at the site when it twice served as a holding school. The community would have another chance to provide input during the feasibility study phase, the next step should the board approve the plan, Song said. Some speakers shared concerns tied to older students at Rock Terrace, which serves students from ages 12 to 21. It is divided, by age, into middle school, high school and upper school. The district should pair Tilden Middle School students with peers of the same age at Rock Terrace, said Douglas Verner, who has two students in the Walter Johnson cluster. He questioned, however, why Rock Terrace’s older students would attend the shared facility with Tilden, when the district plans to offer opportunities for them to work with students in their age range at Walter Johnson High School. Parent Ray Krouse pointed to Rock Terrace’s percentage of high school and upper school students who would be too old to work with Tilden’s younger kids. Based on Rock Terrace’s current enrollment, about 62 students — or roughly 76 percent of the student body — would be too old to interact with Tilden students. Andrea Karp said her son, a Rock Terrace middle school student, would benefit from the shared facility. He isn’t “scary” or “dangerous,” she said, “just different.” While Rock Terrace has older students, she said, they are not like “typically developing” students. Szyfer previously said the district could design a building that will separate Tilden and Rock Terrace students. School officials have said Rock Terrace’s upper school students spend a portion of their day at a job in the community. lpowers@gazette.net

Problems for the fish included over-harvesting, water pollution and dams along the river. “People used to travel from around the country to eat the shad,” Cummins said. “Its scientific name, ‘sapidissima,’ means savory.” The students, all fifth-graders and members of the Westbrook Aqua Eagle club, poured river water into the buckets of shad to help acclimate them to the river temperature and chemistry. They also explored the river bank in Potomac while waiting for the release time. Soon it was time and each of the Aqua Eagles lined up at the river with a cup of fry, ready for a mass release. Stephanie Herrington, a fourthgrade teacher and sponsor of the Aqua Eagles, gave the signal. “Give your shad some life advice,” she said. “Then let them go.” The shad fry were so small they disappeared at once. In 1995, one Westbrook student called the fry “two eyes and a wiggle,”

The role continues his work in student advocacy, efforts he is passionate about, he said.

Jim Cummins of the Interstate Commission on the Potomac River Basin talks about the ﬁsh restoration project as Westbrook Elementary School students prepare to release American shad fry Thursday into the Potomac River in Potomac. said Sandy Burk, from the Anacostia Watershed Society. Burk has been involved with the project for years and even wrote a book, “Let the River Run Silver Again,” about the ﬁrst seven years of the release program at Westbrook, Dasha Jackson, 10, said she thought

He also is a member of his high school’s class of 2017 student government. Guerci is familiar with the board position. He sat on an advisory group for former student board member Justin Kim, who held the position in 201314. Having watched several student board members, he said, he views the position as both “demanding” and “a force for change.” He described himself as “an everyday high school student” who worked hard to win the seat. “I hold myself to the highest standard of anyone else,” he said. Guerci talked about several issues he’s looking forward to discussing on the board, ranging from technology in classrooms to possible changes to standardized testing. For Agarwal, the end of

the best part of being in the Aqua Eagles was learning about underwater creatures. “We’re doing trout, too, and we’re going to release them May 30,” she said. The Aqua Eagles is an after-school club that meets weekly to learn many aspects of conservation, not just ﬁsh stories. Dasha said she was involved with the school’s green garden, one of the specialties within the group. “We focus on the Chesapeake Bay,” Herrington said. “They study the State of the Bay, put out by the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, and decide what they can do to help.” Henry Baratz, 11, was one of three shad captains for the club, along with Miski Nopo, 10, and Maggie Pearce, 11. “The most interesting thing I’ve learned has been the whole experience,” Henry said. “We got to watch them from day one and it was fun.” What kind of advice did the students give the shad before they swam away? “My life advice was, stay away from open mouths,” said Evan Song, 11. “It’s very likely that when you see an open mouth you will be eaten.” To mark the program’s 20th anniversary, the release celebration included cake — topped with gummy ﬁsh. pmcewan@gazette.net

the campaign trail doesn’t mark the end of one of his main platform ideas. Starting with his high school, he said, he hopes to follow through on a plan to help teachers use free apps and games in their lessons. Agarwal said he and Guerci — who have worked together in student government — have “very different kind of ideas and approaches” that can allow them to work well together. “I know that he’ll do a great job as SMOB and I know that I would love to help him out in the future,” he said. Agarwal, however, did not end his campaign without a victory — he secured a prom date. The prom-posal was cleverly planned for Election Day: If he didn’t become the next student member, he said, he still would have “something to

be happy about.” Huh said that as she helped monitor the election process at various schools, the outcome was unclear. “Right into the last minute, I literally did not know who was going to win,” she said. Huh, who knows both candidates, said Guerci will ﬁt into the student board member role because he shares what’s on his mind and isn’t afraid to advocate. “He’s definitely going to be able to hit the ground running,” she said. School board Vice President Michael Durso said the student board members he has known have been “in a class all by themselves.” “The last several SMOBs have all hit the ground running and I don’t see Eric being any different,” he said. lpowers@gazette.net

Costco appeals decision nixing its gas station Case is now heading to Montgomery County Circuit Court n

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

Costco Wholesale Corp. is appealing the Montgomery County Board of Appeals decision to deny a request to build a 16-pump gas station outside the Westﬁeld Wheaton mall store. The appeal was ﬁled Thursday in Montgomery County Circuit Court, said Rob Leuck, Costco’s vice president for operations in its Northeast region. Costco is basing its appeal on the county appeals board having “overstepped its authority by substituting its judgment for that of the federal and state agencies that determine what levels of emissions are safe,” Leuck said. Numerous area residents have opposed the station, saying the fumes from idling cars would be a health hazard to nearby residents, users of the Kenmont Swim & Tennis Club and students at Stephen Knolls School. The school teaches about 100 special-needs and disabled children with chronic lung disease, asthma, cerebral palsy

Host Hotels reports smaller quarterly proﬁt

Synthetic Biologics of Rockville named Steven A. Shallcross CFO, treasurer and secretary effective June 1, succeeding C. Evan Ballantyne, who is leaving the company. Shallcross is executive vice president and CFO of Nuo Therapeutics. Previously, he was CFO and treasurer of Vanda Pharmaceuticals; senior vice president and CFO of Middlebrook Pharmaceuticals; executive vice president and CFO of Innocoll AG; CFO of Empire Petroleum Partners and Bering Truck; and acting CFO of Senseonics. He holds an MBA from the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business and a bachelor’s in accounting from the University of Illinois, Chicago.

Host Hotels & Resorts of Bethesda reported that its firstquarter profit fell to $104 million from $185 million in the first quarter of 2014. Revenues grew to $1.32 billion from $1.31 billion. Revenue per available room rose to $157.36 from $152.97, as the average daily rate increased to $215.48 from $205.35, although occupancy fell to 73.0 percent from 74.5 percent.

In its petition ﬁled in court, Costco states that the board’s decision “erroneously rests on speculation” that compliance with federal and state air quality standards “is somehow insufﬁcient.” The board also did not “identify an alternative standard that the appli-

cant could look to in designing its station,” Costco attorneys wrote. In addition, the gas station would provide competition for area stations and beneﬁt “not just Costco members, but everyone in the area,” Leuck said. “When Costco comes into a market, our competitors tend to match Costco’s prices,” he said. Karen Cordry, president of the Kensington Heights Civic Association, one of the groups opposing the gas station, said Thursday it was “astonishing” that Costco would appeal the case in light of the unanimous decision by the appeals board. Another gas station, especially one so close to vulnerable students, is not needed in the area, she said. “There are dozens of gas stations within a couple miles,” Cordry said. The county is responsible for defending the board’s ofﬁcial position in court, Cordry said, but her group would “help out where we can.” After Costco applied for a special zoning exemption for the gas station in 2011, the Montgomery County Council in 2012 approved an amendment requiring heavily used gas stations to be at least 300 feet from schools and recre-

The Montgomery County Planning Board is scheduled on May 7 to consider a zoning amendment that would increase the required setback for gas stations that pump at least 3.6 million gallons a year from schools, parks and recreation facilities to 500 feet. While Costco’s original proposal had the gas station less than 300 feet from the swim club, officials later altered that plan. The case went to the Office of Zoning and Administrative Hearings, which held hearings on the matter for more than a year, before the appeals board’s decision. In a lengthy report, Martin L. Grossman, hearing examiner for the Office of Zoning and Administrative Hearings, wrote that the “unusual size” of the proposed gas station — as near as 118 feet from a single-family home, 375 feet from the swim club and 874 feet from the school — would “render the proposal incompatible.” The 151,000-square-foot Costco opened at the mall in April 2013, taking over space vacated by a Hecht’s store in 2006. kshay@gazette.net

“Smile, you’re on ‘Candid Camera.’” Those of us who are middle-aged or beyond remember that catchphrase from Allen Funt’s TV show. It was a time when hidden cameras were best known for pranks and inane interactions, for an audience’s entertainment. Now, surveillance cameras are trained on us as we shop, drive and walk along city streets. Every person with a smartphone is potentially shooting video. Footage is having a profound effect on our culture, social interBODY CAMERAS action and even crimiON POLICE OFFICERS ARE nal justice. Ray Rice A GOOD might have MEASURE OF been just ACCOUNTABILITY another football star with a court date until we — and the NFL — saw a vicious assault as it actually happened. Several deaths of people while in police custody or pursuit have become vivid and explosive because society has become a witness. We saw it again recently in Baltimore, where outrage over the death of Freddie Gray built and bubbled from video clips of officers dragging him into a transport van. If a video camera were recording the inside of the van, we’d know so much more about the involvement of six officers now charged in connection with his death. We’re on the cusp of a sweeping movement to have police officers equipped with body cameras, too. Rockville is the most recent Montgomery County municipality to consider putting cameras on police officers. Gaithersburg, Takoma Park and Montgomery County are looking into the idea, too. We support these agencies and their steps toward a system that ideally protects the public from abuses and officers from false allegations, in much the same way car-mounted cameras have provided more accountability and transparency. Supporters point to studies showing that complaints against officers, particularly for use of force, plummet in communities where officers wear cameras on their bodies. On Friday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced a $20 million pilot program in which local and tribal law enforcement organizations will get competitive grants to buy body-worn cameras. The Justice Department says President Barack Obama hopes to spend $75 million in a three-year period on 50,000 cameras for law enforcement agencies. The modern debate is no longer about surveillance, but about mechanics. When should cameras be filming and when should officers turn them off? The General Assembly passed a bill this session making sound recording by a police body camera legal. The exception is similar to one in place for cameras mounted on patrol cars. Otherwise, Maryland law requires consent for audio recording. Gov. Larry Hogan said he plans to sign the bill into law. To us, access to footage is a high concern. One benefit that the Department of Justice’s Community Oriented Policing Services lists for body-worn cameras is, “Improving agency transparency by allowing the public to see video evidence of police activities and encounters.” Yet, the mayor of Washington, D.C., has proposed making footage from police body cameras exempt from public information laws. But this shouldn’t be any government’s blanket response. Footage should be treated as any other public information. This will pose technical challenges in ferreting out information the public needs to see while balancing legitimate privacy rights, but trust is won through transparency.

In search for super, school board needs clear goals As The Gazette reported April 27, the Montgomery County Board of Education has begun interviewing candidates to be the next superintendent. The board should be commended for including representatives of several community groups in the interview process, and for soliciting the input of parents through open forums held in March. As the board no doubt recognizes, greater transparency is sorely needed following the abrupt departure of the previous superintendent, Joshua Starr. This theme was emphasized repeatedly in the community forums and stakeholder interviews conducted by the board’s search firm earlier this year. A report summarizing the feedback, which is posted on the board’s website, strongly emphasizes “a need for transparency in the way the district operates.” It also quotes an unnamed member of the Montgomery County Council who said he or she “wouldn’t take the job unless the Board clarifies its goals and sets a vision for leadership” for the next superintendent. The report lists general leadership qualities that the community wants in the next superintendent, including being “collaborative” and having “effective communication skills.” It also notes the well-known challenges facing the public school system, the most prominent of which are the glaring achievement gaps among students of different racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic backgrounds in our county. Board members owe the public a detailed response to the report’s findings. The board should elaborate on the qualifications it is looking for in the ideal candidate, specify the goals it expects the new superintendent to ac-

Budget should support Smart people can follow instructions for the proper use of pesticides staffing to help limit greenhouse gas emissions The Montgomery County Council currently is reviewing the fiscal year 2016 annual budget proposed by County Executive Isiah Leggett. One small but critical step the council should take, in order to advance the county’s plan to fight climate change, is to increase the staff assigned to the Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Sustainability. In 2009, the county established the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 10 percent every five years beginning in 2010, and set forth a variety of steps to be taken to accomplish this. However, in March of this year, the Office of Sustainability reported that energy use by buildings — which accounts for about two-thirds of greenhouse gas emissions in the county —

is actually increasing, not decreasing. In other words, the county’s greenhouse emissions are going in the wrong direction. Other jurisdictions (such as Washington, D.C., and Arlington County, Va.) that report success in reducing greenhouse gas emissions have numerous staff devoted to energy-related issues. Montgomery County, on the other hand, has one, with a second soon to be hired. The fiscal year 2016 budget is the perfect opportunity for the County Council to rectify this deficit by giving the Office of Sustainability the staffing it needs.

I have applied pesticides for 44 years, and have never had an incident or have been cited. My course was monitored by state water quality agents, as drainage from the course ﬂowed into a tributary of the Arkansas River. I am here to plead for others to speak up, and not allow this board to continue to take our rights away. Yes, I’m from the South Central, Midwest, or breadbasket, if you will. I suppose we do things a bit different out there, but one thing is certain: Responsible use of the tools approved by the federal government and state agencies should not be taken away by a board of people who believe that we need to be nannied and protected from ourselves.

Gas stations still can be approved under proposed text amendment

Raskin would make a good representative in Congress Thank you for your article about state Sen. Jamie Raskin launching his campaign for the U.S. Congress (April 22). As a constituent of Sen. Raskin and one of some 500 supporters who joined Attorney General Brian Frosh, Congressman John Sarbanes, former U.S. Sen. Joseph Tydings, state Sen. Catherine Pugh (Maryland Senate majority leader and president of National Black Caucus of State Legislators) at the launch event, I am very excited about the possibility of Sen. Raskin representing me in Congress.

As a retired certiﬁed golf course superintendent, and certified pesticide applicator from the state of Oklahoma, I must protest the actions of George Leventhal, et al., in attempting to ban pesticide use in Montgomery County. Is this another one of his socialist moves to keep his little society in order? But, I digress. As homeowners, we also have a responsibility to our associations and neighbors. The D.C. area is more or less a transient suburbia. That being said, for many of us, responsible upkeep of our lawns is a necessity, as it is an important factor in buying and selling a home. Besides, a beautiful lawns is, well, just beautiful. I’ve been told that the smartest people in the world live here. Does Mr. Leventhal think that these people cannot read a pesticide label and use these chemical tools responsibly?

In March, a proposal for a gas station that would pump 12 million gallons of gas a year a mere 118 feet from residential homes was denied by the Montgomery County Board of Appeals. Concern for the possible adverse health effects that can result from proximity to fueling evaporative emissions and toxic emissions from idling cars was one of the reasons for the denial. Recognizing the need to strengthen existing zoning regulations concerning these large gas stations, there is a zoning text amendment before the County Council. Authored by Councilman Marc Elrich and supported by six additional members of the council, this amendment will add dwelling units to the existing list of sensitive sites and increase the current 300 foot setback from those sites to 500 feet. This amendment supports Montgomery County’s commitment to the

protection of the health and welfare of its citizens. Costco says that this text amendment would “essentially suspend the zoning process and keep safe, affordable gas out of Montgomery County.” This is not true. Nothing in this proposal will suspend the Montgomery County zoning ordinance and there are many areas of Montgomery County where the new setback could be met. Dense, urban, heavily populated neighborhoods are most likely not one of them. Abigail Adelman, Kensington

Purple Line opponents haven’t proposed real alternatives Robert Riker’s address is much more important than the content of his letter in the April 29 Gazette (“Calculations don’t support ridership projection”). Chevy Chase has spent large sums ($300,000 during the last year) to oppose the Purple Line. It maintains a drumbeat of criticisms of the economics and predicted ridership

for the line. Ridership is calculated using metrics required by the Federal Transit Administration and used to evaluate all their New Starts projects, among which the Purple Line is highly rated. Mr. Riker’s and others’ subjective recalculations are the results of animated self-interest in opposing the project.

The beneﬁts of the Purple Line project are enormous; opposition to it usually is part of a coordinated, national right-wing campaign to attack transit infrastructure while advocating for heavily subsidized highway projects. For those who want to improve mobility in the region, the real test is alternatives the opponents propose

Girls move toward football league Blair High junior helping bring ﬂag football to middle school girls n

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

KEN SAIN/THE GAZETTE

Ned Sparks, the executive director of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association, is retiring effective Aug. 1.

State considers making school transfers sit

Blair High School junior Nicole Spiezio plays two varsity sports, ﬁeld hockey and lacrosse, for the Silver Spring school. She said if she had been given an opportunity to play perhaps her favorite sport — football — as a young girl, things would likely be different. Spiezio, who with the help of

USA Football is in the process of starting a girls ﬂag football program at Takoma Park Middle School, said she hopes to prevent a younger generation from having to wonder, “what if?” “When I was younger I liked to play football with my brother, my dad and my grandpa [who played football in college at Brown University],” Spiezio said. “But I never had a chance to play [in a league], there weren’t any leagues around. I thought I could help create those chances [for younger girls] and at least put it on their radar.” Nationwide, participation in girls ﬂag football is on the rise; it is offered as a high school var-

sity sport with a state championship in six states — Alaska, Florida, New York, Nevada, Texas and Louisiana — plus nearby District of Columbia. Per National Federation of State High School Associations, the number of high school programs has grown from 171 in 2009-10 to 552 in 2013-14. While there is still a stigma attached to women playing football, USA Football’s Director of Football Development, Samantha Rapoport, said she believes the attitude that football is a male only sport, is changing.

Editor’s note: Ned Sparks, who has been executive director of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association since 1981, is retiring effective Aug. 1. This is the first of three columns looking at his tenure and the big issues facing high school sports today. It’s bad, but it’s probably going to have to get worse before the state steps in, Ned Sparks said. I interviewed Sparks last week to look back at his tenure as he enters the final three months on the job before retiring as executive director of the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association, a position he’s held for 34 years. I asked about the recent increase in high school students who find changing schools to KEN SAIN be as easy as switching SPORTS EDITOR jerseys. “Yeah, that might be an issue,” Sparks said. “In the Eastern Shore, I know they have ... a sit-out period, if you transfer you have to sit out. It might come to that, in the near future, if it seems to be the case that the motivation for transferring is for athletics and not academics.” Sparks said those conversations among decision-makers have already started, but, to make that kind of change, many more people would need to recognize that there is a problem. One reason for the recent increase in transfers is education reform. The consortiums in Montgomery County and clusters in Prince George’s County have made it a lot easier for students to switch schools. All you need to do is claim that you want to be part of a program that is only offered at that school, and you’re in. “It’s complicated matters, but it’s something that is here to stay,” Sparks said. “In some states, they have school choice throughout the whole state.” I brought up the subject because of a recent thread on the MoCoFootball.com message board where it names 11 football players who have, or will be, transferring schools and playing for new teams in the fall. I confirmed most of those transfers through the players’ Hudl.com pages. There are probably more transferring that I haven’t heard about. I usually don’t hear about Prince George’s County transfers until August. The Bayside Athletic Conference on the Eastern Shore has a 45-day waiting period starting from the day of enrollment for students who transfer between schools in that league. They may not participate in practice or games during that time. There are exceptions (foreign exchange students, freshmen, change of residence). Not sure that would have much an effect statewide. Most of these transfers have already made the decision, and some have already changed schools. But the state could adopt a longer waiting period. The Washington Catholic Athletic Conference has long had a rule that stipulates any athlete who transfers to a WCAC school after the start of his sophomore year is ineligible to

Decision time in Montgomery County tennis Top singles players compete in doubles for region tournament n

ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

BILL RYAN/THE GAZETTE

Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School’s Conor Smyth plays tennis Monday at Paint Branch.

Jack Welch has been one of the area’s best tennis players this season, winning all but one of his matches as the No. 1 for the co-Division I champion Whitman High School boys team. His name, however, won’t appear anywhere on the singles draw for the upcoming Montgomery County Region II tournament set to begin Friday. Instead, it’ll be in the doubles draw, alongside the Bethesda school’s

No. 2 singles player, Andrew Leung. Though the two haven’t been competing together, coach Jasen Gohn said they give the Vikings their best chance of reaching the region championship, and thus qualifying for one of the two doubles spots in the Maryland tournament. For Welch, that feat might be more difﬁcult to accomplish in the singles draw where the region’s top players — such as Poolesville’s Dennis Wang — may be standing in his way. Coaches are allowed to register a maximum of one singles player, two doubles teams and two mixed doubles teams for the regional tournament. (The girls tournaments were completed in the fall.) That made for some tough choices prior to Monday’s deadline for submission. Put your top

player in the singles draw, even if he’s a long shot to make the ﬁnals? Break up the doubles duo that guided the team to a division championship? Whitman, effectively, forfeited singles to get a better shot in doubles, but different circumstances lead to different decisions. “It just depends on who you have and what the strengths of the team is,” said Wootton coach Nia Cresham, whose Patriots are sending two doubles teams. Wang, a Yale recruit, is the favorite among the ﬁve-person singles draw, while Poolesville’s top doubles team in the regular season — Nick Kibbey and Archis Sathe — is also competing.

Walter Johnson workhorse gives team a chance Wildcats senior allowed ﬁve earned runs all season n

PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

For ﬁve innings, Walter Johnson High School senior pitcher Ryan Manning reared back and threw what seemed to cross home plate with the equivalence of medicine balls against Blair on April 16.

Batters didn’t have a hard time making contact, but they really couldn’t drive the ball anywhere as Manning routinely worked his way through the lineup of one of the county’s best teams on his way to what coach Steve Sutherland called a “signature win” at the time. Manning allowed just one run and three hits in ﬁve innings. Manning is the deﬁnition of a workhorse. The senior pitcher has thrown more than 100 pitches in a

game three times this season, and he’s thrown 80 to 90 pitches a couple of other times. Whenever WJ needs a big game, Manning is the player Sutherland usually calls on, and most of the time the senior delivers. In 21 innings pitched this season, Manning has allowed a total of just ﬁve earned runs. His earned run average is 1.67. “Everyone’s just a little bit more comfortable when he’s on the mound,” said Sutherland, who’s in

his ﬁrst season with the team. “He throws a lot of strikeouts, so it’s a little bit less work on the defense. ... You know what you’re getting every time from him.” Manning’s transformation into a dominant varsity pitcher started following his sophomore season when he played on the junior varsity team. He was throwing about 74 miles per hour but wanted to throw faster. He

Continued from Page B-1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football is Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sport, there are no two ways about that, and America is comprised of men and women,â&#x20AC;? Rapoport said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the attitude is changing among moms and dads, too. Girls have proven they can play extremely competitively.â&#x20AC;? Despite close proximity to the Prince Georgeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s County-based D.C. Divas, arguably one of the best womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s professional tackle football teams in the world, girls ďŹ&#x201A;ag football does not yet seem to have caught on in Montgomery County â&#x20AC;&#x201D; though several youth programs such as the Bethesda-based KOA Sports and the Olney Boys and Girls Club do offer opportunities. But 2003 Gaithersburg High graduate and Divas offensive linewoman Lauren Chesley said efforts such as Spiezioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are what it will take to change the tide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I knew there was an opportunity to play when I was in high school, I deďŹ nitely wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve pursued it,â&#x20AC;? Chesley said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girls have an interest in football and I think more would have an interest if they knew it was available. ...Football is all about teamwork, family and trust. I play on the offensive line and you literally have to go put your body in the way of someone else to protect your teammates. You learn what each other is made of. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a bond Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d never experienced.â&#x20AC;? Spiezio said she ďŹ rst contacted USA Football in February and was provided with the materials needed â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a curriculum, various drills, ďŹ&#x201A;ags and footballs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to start her program. She said she is working with Takoma Park physical education teacher Brian Baker and hopes to have the

program up and running by June. Spiezio said the program is estimated to run for ďŹ ve weeks, meeting twice a week for an hour. The goal is to have 30 participants the ďŹ rst session but to hopefully expand the program to other middle schools in the area if it is successful, she said. Flag football is used as an introduction to the sport for boys before they transition to tackle. There should be a similar pathway to the highest level of football for girls as well, Rapoport said, whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ&#x201A;ag or tackle â&#x20AC;&#x201D; are opportunities to represent the United States internationally in both. The pursuit of college scholarships has become an important aspect in youth sports and the lack of opportunities in womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s football is certainly an obstacle, Rapoport said. But she added that the natural evolution with so many high schools adopting the sport would be for the NCAA to recognize it. In 2007 while working at the NFL, Rapoport launched the NFL Girls Flag Football Leadership program in which female athletes were given the means to present the idea of implementing ďŹ&#x201A;ag football as a varsity sport to their high school athletic directors. Montgomery County Public Schools Athletics Specialist Jeff Sullivan said he has not received any requests for girls varsity ďŹ&#x201A;ag football but if Spiezioâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s program goes as planned, he might in the next few years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think there is this stereotype of football being just a male sport,â&#x20AC;? Spiezio said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Flag is not as physical. Girls donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about that, they just see football. I think it would be cool if it spread to high school [in this area]. If we had ďŹ&#x201A;ag football [at Blair] I would be doing it now.â&#x20AC;? jbeekman@gazette.net

Welch is appearing in his second region tournament. Last season, after going undefeated as a No. 3 singles player, he ended up joining his sister, Nicole Welch, in mixed doubles. In the future, Welch said he might consider going out for singles, but for now heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got his sights set on winning the region with Leung and then making a run in the state tournament. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re deďŹ nitely one of the strongest teams going into that, and if we really make the transition and play well together, then I think it should be pretty good,â&#x20AC;?

DeMatha Catholic Athletic Director Ed King said that the league is currently revamping its bylaws, and the transfer rule could change. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had talks about that, you know, if you transfer how long do you have to sit out, how long do you have to wait,â&#x20AC;? Sparks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know my colleagues in other states have some of those rules.â&#x20AC;? Sparks said that they have to be careful in setting any rules. Now, a student can claim he wants to learn Latin and switch schools. How can the state know whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s truly in his heart? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the motivation? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never to play sports, but it is,â&#x20AC;? Sparks said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you separate the kid who is really sincere from the person who is just doing that to get their way into the school because they want to play for this coach?â&#x20AC;? A mandatory waiting period might be the answer. If a kid is willing to miss half a season or more, that should discourage some of these transfers. ksain@gazette.net Listen to my interview with Ned Sparks at Gazette.net.

worked all offseason on improving his velocity and returned as a junior throwing over 80. Manning posted a 1.42 ERA and allowed a total of just four earned runs all of last year as a junior in his ďŹ rst varsity season, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s while he was still adjusting to the varsity game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finding my location as a pitcher,â&#x20AC;? Manning said of the adjustment he had to make last season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;JV, I could get by just throwing right down the middle and striking everyone out. My coach really put conďŹ dence into me, so I was hitting spots. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really the adjustment I had to make, was location.â&#x20AC;? A year later, Manning is a stabilizing force on a team full of turnover â&#x20AC;&#x201D; only Manning and his catcher Patrick Jorling started last season. Manning has provided leadership, a bridge from the Chris Murray coaching era to Sutherlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, and feel good moments like the two hit, 14 strikeout, complete game, shutout against Einstein on March 30. The team even seems to play better in the field when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pitching. By Manningâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own admission, the workload has been taxing, but he said he deals with it because his team does, too. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Physically, I use elastic bands,â&#x20AC;? Manning said of a technique Sutherland introduced to the team this season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mentally, I guess I just power through it. I know all the guys are also getting just as tired, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just me. That helps, knowing that other people are going through the same thing as I am.â&#x20AC;? Manning also leads the team in hitting with a .407 batting average. Manning said he has a lovehate relationship with the sport of baseball. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sport heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been playing almost his entire life, so he loves it because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s familiar. He said he loves winning, and he loves getting strikeouts, but the mental grind has taken its toll. His numbers are in line with other pitchers in the county with plans of playing baseball in college. Manning said he may play club ball once heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ďŹ nished at WJ but he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t plan to play in college. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love playing it and stuff, but after awhile it can be kind of taxing and tiring,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deďŹ nitely going to miss it after the season.â&#x20AC;? Walter Johnson was 6-9 as of Sunday. The postseason is scheduled to begin on Friday. Walter Johnson hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a playoff game since 2011, the year before Manning arrived. Depending on matchups, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll likely be starting his ďŹ rst ever playoff game as a pitcher on Friday. Winning, he said, would be a big deal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole four years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been here, we havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t won a playoff game,â&#x20AC;? Manning said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m deďŹ nitely going to try and bring a game back. Really looking to make a run. Teams underestimate us, but hopefully we can pass through and make a run in the playoffs.â&#x20AC;? pgrimes@gazette.net

RM track offers no complaints WJ track coach experiments Walter Johnson High School coach Tom Martin has a bevy of distance talent in his girls program — there’s not much disputing that. He has Kiernan Keller, Emily Murphy and Abby Green — to name a few — all of whom have posted top 10 times in the county in the 1,600-meter and 3,200-meter this season. But at Saturday’s 29th annual Katie Jenkins Invitational at Sherwood, Martin, like many other

ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER

In his 15th year on the coaching staff at Richard Montgomery High School, track and field coach Davy Rogers has seen more than his share of talented athletes come through the Rockville program he was a member of in the late 1990s. But for all the sprinters and hurdlers and throwers that have passed through, no collection has rivaled that of his boys teams from 2006-07, he said. “They were a different breed,” Rogers said of those teams, noting the handful of state champions littered throughout those lineups. Few teams before those and few teams after have come close to equaling the success of those teams. But as Rogers sat on the bleachers Friday afternoon, a smile broke over his face while his division champion boys group tuned up for their final invitational of the regular season the next day. “[The 06-07 teams] won multiple state championships, and they had a little bit more talent than these guys,” Rogers said, pointing to the team stretching their way down the track’s front stretch Friday. “But these guys have brought their talent out just from how hard they’re working at practice. Comparatively, talent-wise, they’re a little bit off. But work ethicwise, they’ve got what that 2006-07 team had for sure.” That work ethic, paired with a balance most coaches would envy, has the Rockets poised to make some noise this championship season, after a 5-0 dual meet record gave Rogers and company their second division title in the last four years. As of Friday, the RM boys had posted top 10 scores in the county in the following events: 100-meter (automatic timing), 200-meter (automatic timing), 800-meter, 1,600-meter, 3,200-meter, 400-meter relay, 800-meter relay, 1,600-meter relay, 3,200-meter relay, 4,000-meter distance medley relay, 110-meter shuttle hurdle relay and long jump, according to MoCoRunning.com. This success didn’t just happen, as the Rockets athletes pointed out. It’s taken a driven group of seniors, an extraordinary amount of planning and a rare level of flexibility from the athletes to get to where Richard Montgomery sits now — poised for a postseason to remember. “When we came out for our time trials, we just noticed how much depth we had and how we could fill up so many events,” senior Emman-

TRACK NOTEBOOK BY ADAM GUTEKUNST coaches, used the last big meet of the regular season to test out his athletes. “I think [Kiernan Keller] needed another rep at 800 meters,” Martin said. “I’m running Emily Murphy in the 1,600-meter. She’s been concentrating on the 3,200-meter mostly, and I want to see what she’s going to be able to do in that. I wanted to give Abby Green one more shot at the 3,200-meter because she’s a freshman and she’s just learning tactics and things like that.” There have been occasions, Martin said, where a performance in such an invitational has changed his lineup entering championship season. “We get until tomorrow [Sunday] to make those decisions,” Martin said. “Sure, things can change.”

Richard Montgomery High School’s Alex Fehlinger practices coming off the blocks Friday at the Rockville school. uel Porquin said. “It was somewhat of a surprise.” After bringing out a handful of football and basketball players, as well as athletes who had never before participated in track and ﬁeld, Rogers and his coaching staff sat down and came to a similar realization. If some of the athletes were willing to shift around their responsibilities on the team, the Rockets had the makings of a special team. And that, Rogers said, is exactly what’s made this group so successful. “That’s what this team is so good about,” Rogers said. “I can tell a kid who’s never done the hurdles, ‘Hey, you’ve got a lot of talent, you’re athletic, let’s try the hurdles.’ And they’ll say, ‘All right, coach. What do you need me to do?’ And that’s why this team has become so good. We don’t have complainers on the team. We don’t have kids whining. We tell them what to do. They say let’s do it, and they do it. That’s always a coach’s dream.” Take senior Alex Fehlinger, for example. Last season, Fehlinger admittedly was focused more on his in-

dividual short distance events, where he qualiﬁed for the 100 meters at the state level. But when his senior season rolled around, the Rockets senior sensed a focus shift could better serve the team, which he felt had a chance to make some real noise. “This year, since we have so much depth, we realized we could be good at the relays and score a lot of points there,” Fehlinger said. “So I’ve just focused more on that.” Now, Fehlinger has become an integral part of the Rockets’ relays, which have served as one of their strong suits all season long. And the success those teams have experienced is thanks in large part, Rogers said, to the work ethic and mentality that this year’s group has so successfully adopted. “They run more for each other than they do for themselves, and I really think that’s what makes them a great team,” Rogers said. “They care more about what they do as a team, as opposed to what they do as an individual.” agutekunst@gazette.net

Sherwood goes for a three-peat The Sherwood High School girls lacrosse team’s quest for a third straight region title begins Friday, and coach Kelly Hughes said the road to the state semiﬁnals is much like it was a year ago.

LACROSSE NOTEBOOK BY ERIC GOLDWEIN The Warriors (11-1) earned a first-round bye in the Class 4A North Region and are coming off one of their strongest performances of the season. But it wasn’t one of their 11 wins, but rather a 21-12 loss against Good Counsel, that gives Hughes hope heading into the playoffs. The Sandy Spring school outscored the Olney powerhouse 8-7 in the second half. The Warriors won’t play any team near Good Counsel’s talent level until the region title game — potentially another playoff showdown with Howard — but the Warriors will have to first get out of their section, which includes Blair, Blake and Springbrook. “After watching my girls play Good Counsel the other day, I think I’m more confident than I was,” Hughes said.

Girls contenders The 4A West Region is up for grabs, as about half of its teams having a shot at reaching the state semifinals. Defending champion Whitman remains a favorite thanks to the return of star midfielder Maddie Parker, who missed part of the season recovering from minor neck surgery. But the Vikings have a tough draw in Section I, that includes Walter Johnson, BethesdaChevy Chase and Churchill. Gaithersburg (10-1 as of Sunday), which won its first division title in school history, earned a firstround bye in Section II and plays the winner of Northwest/Clarksburg. Quince Orchard and Wootton — led by sister coaches Jennifer Mohr and Shannon Holiday, respectively — could have a playoff rematch in the second round if the

Quince Orchard’s Colton Christensen has his shot blocked by Churchill goalie Markus Hurd during Thursday’s boys soccer game. Churchill won, 14-10. Patriots can get by Magruder. Poolesville and Damascus received ﬁrst-round byes in the 3A West. If they can get by their second-round opponents, they’d meet in the Section II ﬁnals for a playoff rematch. The Swarmin’ Hornets won last year’s matchup, 11-10, in a triple-overtime thriller.

Damascus defense dominating Last year, the Damascus High School boys lacrosse team was an overtime game away from reaching the state semifinals for the first time since 2001, as it fell to Urbana, 1312, in the 3A/2A West Region finals. The Swarmin’ Hornets lost half their starters from that team but remain in position to make another deep playoff run thanks to a strong defensive unit anchored by junior Joey Salisbury and the emergence of faceoff specialist Isaac Avon. Damascus and Poolesville both received first-round byes and are favorites in their section and would meet in the region semifinals if they won their second-round matchups.

“As long as we can play together, I think we got a real good shot at going far,” Damascus coach Chris Thompson said.

Boys contenders Churchill (13-1) is the 4A West favorite after going undefeated against county public school opponents in the regular season. The Bulldogs and their powerhouse offense — led by senior Louis Dubick, the state’s all-time leader in points — are likely to run into Whitman in the region semifinals. Quince Orchard and defending region champion Wootton are the Section II favorites and are likely to meet in the third round for the right to play the Section I winner. Blake and Springbrook each received first-round byes. In the 4A North, the Section II favorite is Sherwood. The Warriors are coming off a 6-5 loss to Good Counsel and have won five of their last seven, including a 12-11 victory over Wootton.

With a new coach, a new cast of runners and a new season ahead of her, Magruder High School sophomore Stephanie Davis knew her role on the Colonels would definitely increase, but maybe not in the way that it ultimately did. With first-year coach Rich Bosnic still learning his team, Davis stepped in to help accelerate the acclimation process, serving as a teacher figure to her teammates early in the season. “It just came naturally to me,” Davis said. “... It just came along naturally when outdoor season started. I just automatically started teaching them how to do stuff again.” Now, with championship season approaching, Davis and the Colonels seem to have overcome the newness that may have slowed them down earlier this year. “We got a sprint coach and he’s really helping us get stronger,” Davis said. “It’s back to normal like it was last year.”

Springbrook excited by divisional finishes When Springbrook High School coach Rebekah Harrison returned to her alma mater a few years ago, she and assistant coach Bryan Steele had a clear vision: They wanted to return the Blue Devils track and field program to its former glory. Last week, Harrison and company took a step in the right direction, as the boys (5-0 in dual meets) captured their first division title since 2007, and the girls finished second. “The boys have been really excited,” Harrison said. “We’ve seen a change — a turning around of the program. ... They’ve been working really hard together. They have great chemistry, and they’re really excited. There’s been a lot of hard work and dedication that’s

gone into it.” Springbrook has not captured a girls division title since 2002, Harrison’s senior year at the Silver Spring school. But, as the coach pointed out, the excitement is not exclusive to the boys — it has swept the entire program. “They’re really excited,” Harrison said of her girls. “We’re obviously disappointed we didn’t win the division. We were close. But the ladies worked just as hard. Hopefully in the future, we can get that division.”

Trio of discus throwers fuel Clarksburg’s field events Most coaches would be happy with one solid competitor in a field event — or any event for that matter. But Clarksburg High School assistant Deb Waxman, the Coyotes’ longtime throws coach, has three competitors lighting up the county leaderboard this season. As of Saturday, Clarksburg’s Abraham Kinguelewa (141-04), Zack Fiscus (129-02) and Joe Opiekun (124-11) had all posted top 10 throws in the county. “They’re very competitive,” Waxman said. “They’re very supportive of one another. They’re constantly pushing each other to throw it a little further. They critique each other’s throws in a positive manner.” Fiscus, a junior, and Kinguelewa, a senior, were throwers from the time they came to Clarksburg, Waxman said. Opiekun, after going back and forth between football and track, decided to follow in his sister’s footsteps and become a thrower. Each one, Waxman said, has increased their throws by around 10 feet each season under her tutelage, thanks also in part to their competitive fire. “Their eyes are a little quicker than mine at this point, and they tell each other what they need to improve on,” Waxman said. “They’re extremely supportive of one another.”

Richard Montgomery coach plays strategy game If anyone understands how to properly navigate the slew of commitments that come with championship season rapidly approaching, one of those people is likely Richard Montgomery High School coach Davy Rogers. The longtime Rockets coach has been on the staff at the Rockville school since 2001 and was quick to point out how Saturday’s Katie Jenkins Invitational at Sherwood — just four days removed from Wednesday’s county championship — might play out differently than other regular season meets. “You’re getting to that point in the season where you’re kind of tuning up and ﬁne tuning everything, so you’ll probably see a lot of guys that are milers running the 400-meter or the 200-meter who will work on speed work today,” Rogers said before the event. Rogers did not run any of his distance runners in individual events at the meet but instead opted to place them in the 2x800-meter relay to work on speed. “You’re not going to see a lot of the kids who are going to be top contenders for the county championship run more than one event, if that,” Rogers said. “It’s a lot of more [junior varsity] kids getting a chance today.”

County soccer team wins fifth straight State Cup The Maryland Rush Montgomery Coyotes Under-17 girls travel soccer team won its fifth consecutive Maryland State Cup title Sunday at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds with a 1-0 win against Maryland United. The 2012 U-14 national champion moves on to regional play looking for its fourth straight national tournament berth. The 2015 US Youth Soccer Region I Championships are scheduled for June 25-30 in West Virginia. Whitman High School senior Emma Anderson scored the winning goal in Sunday’s final in the first half off a pass from Vikings teammate Lindsay Wytkind. Bethesda-Chevy Chase junior Paula Germino-Watnick rocketed a shot off the crossbar that appeared to cross the goal line but it was ultimately ruled a no goal, according to MRM coach Alex Gould. The Coyotes outshot the United, 20-0. “The players were very excited to get a fifth state title,” Gould said. “They now will have an opportunity to get back to nationals for the fourth straight time, if they can make a great run in West Virginia. They’re looking forward to the challenge.”

Blake boys win division title The Blake High School boys lacrosse team won the 4A/3A East Division title, the first in the school’s history. The Bengals recovered from an 0-3 start to finish the regular season 9-3, closing their season on a nine-game winning streak where they outscored opponents by nine goals per game. Senior Frankie Hedgepeth — named 4A/3A East Player of the Week on April 27 — leads Blake in both goals (32), assists (23) and groundballs (96) as the Silver Spring school heads into the playoffs with a first-round bye.

— ERIC GOLDWEIN

Watkins Mill in it for the long haul If Watkins Mill High School baseball coach Mike Celenza had to choose one word to describe this season, it would be “inconsistent,” he said.

BASEBALL NOTEBOOK BY PRINCE J. GRIMES Without the same wealth of baseball talent as other teams in the area, the Wolverines aren’t going to score runs in large amounts, therefore they have to pitch well and play good defense to have a shot at winning, and they haven’t always been able to accomplish that. Watkins Mill ﬁnished the regular season with a 15-3 loss to Kennedy, dropping its record to 3-13. “There will be games where we play really good defense and we’ll pitch really well, and we’ll be in the game and it’ll be close,” Celenza said. “The games we don’t pitch well, we don’t play defense, it’ll be loses. It’s just consistency with throwing strikes and playing defense.” Celenza has placed a premium on minimizing errors and when the team responds, wins such as the one they secured over Walter Johnson on April 29 are possible. Senior pitcher Jacob Richards has done a nice job of bouncing back from a sub-par junior year and became a leader for the team this season. Fellow senior, inﬁelder Matthew Finn, has also been important in making sure the team

stays focused during practice. “You got to set the tone at practice. And once you set the tone there, it leads to games,” Celenza said. “It’s going to be a long haul and the kids, I think, are very committed to it.”

Sherwood works on small things It shouldn’t really surprise anyone that the Sherwood High School baseball team is one of the top teams in the county once again, a season removed from reaching the 4A state title game. This team isn’t quite the same as last season, but it’s still a team coach Sean Davis said he’s proud to be going into the postseason with. “The dynamic’s a little bit different,” Davis said. “But these kids are hungry and they’re good ball players. They’re a team that, if they get hot, they can be dangerous. I don’t think anyone wants to play Sherwood in May.” Senior Jake Paholski, in particular, is having a standout season for the Warriors. His .523 batting average on 23 hits leads the team. “Jake’s just had an unbelievable year,” Davis said. “Even his outs are hard. He goes two-forfour and his average goes down. He’s having an unbelievable year, and he’s a leader for us.” Different players have been able to contribute in each game, including Neven Sussman, who leads the team with 12 runs batted in. Sherwood broke a recent three-game losing skid to ﬁnish the season with a win over Damascus on May 2 and a tie against Blair

on Monday. Davis said he talked to his team about building momentum, and while a tie isn’t a loss, there were some things the Warriors can work on before the playoffs. “You tell the guys to get in the mindset that the small things matter. You got to do the small things right to be a good team,” Davis said.

Blair rolling into playoffs Staying true to form, the Blair High School baseball team fell behind twice by small margins in its ﬁnal game of the season against Sherwood on Monday, but fought back each time to tie the game. After seven innings, and tied at 4-4, the teams played two extra innings in a game that started an hour later than usual because of county-wide testing. As the sun set, the game was called and a tie was the result after nine innings. Fortunately, the result of this game wasn’t going to impact playoff seeding for either team. Blair had a ﬁrst-round bye secured. The 4A South Division champions were only working on staying sharp, coach Eric Zolkiewicz said. “Just trying to stay sharp,” Zolkiewicz said. “We’ve been on a good little run and we just want to keep playing well. Do the things that make us successful. I was trying to give a bunch of pitchers some work today, and go from there.”

Sherwood ready for another state title run As always, the spring high school softball season has seemingly ﬂown by and playoffs have arrived — region tournaments are scheduled to begin Thursday.

SOFTBALL NOTEBOOK BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN Unlike past years, regular-season games carried a bit more weight this year as all teams were set to be seeded when the draws were released — Tuesday’s draw was too late to be included in this edition of The Gazette — rather than just the top 4, or more recently, top 2 in each section. But one thing remains the same: It’s one and done and to get to states.

Favorites If there was ever a chance for the topranked Sherwood High School softball team to get nervous and show some vulnerability, it was Monday when the Warriors went for their state-record 78th straight victory against Blair, the last team to which they had lost in May 2011. No such luck for Maryland Class 4A teams. The Warriors will remain the absolute favorite until any team has remotely tested them. Junior pitcher Jaime Schmier has not looked at all like a ﬁrst-year starter and Sherwood’s historically potent batting order remains strong

Contenders Unfortunately for No. 2 Blake, which heads into the postseason off major wins against No. 3 Blair and Clarksburg, the Bengals will have to get through Sherwood just to get out of the 4A North Region’s Section II and the Warriors won their regular season meeting, 10-3. But, anything can happen on any given day and Blake, led by sophomore left-handed pitcher Elie Smethurst and one of the Washington, D.C. area’s most powerful batters in Bailey Boyd, has certainly proven to be one of Montgomery County’s top teams. The all-county 4A West Region is like a freefor-all of contenders with Blair, Northwest, Magruder and Clarksburg topping the list. Blair’s only real obstacle in getting to the region ﬁnal would be Richard Montgomery, which has proven it can compete with the top teams but hasn’t yet nabbed a signature win — no time like playoffs, though. First-year starting pitcher Karylena Cruz has kept the Blazers’ tradition of strong pitching in tact and she’s backed by a dynamic offense. Getting through the bottom section will not be as straight forward. Northwest, which lost to Sherwood and Clarksburg early in the season, looks to be in the best position heading into playoffs off a recent win over Blake. Junior

Bridgette Barbour has been strong in the circle all year and the defense around her — Northwest has six first-year starters in its lineup — has come together nicely. With senior Fiona Johnson in the circle, Magruder has a chance against anyone it plays. The Colonels handed Clarksburg — which hasn’t ended the regular season as strong as it started — their first loss of the year and lost a very close game to Blair that could have gone either way. Clarksburg has struggled, record-wise, in recent weeks, but it also has played one of the toughest late-season schedules. And all three of its losses have been by three runs or less. The Coyotes have all the tools necessary to make their first state tournament appearance.

Darkhorses It will be tough for any county Class 3A team to get out of a region that features perennial Frederick County powers that have dominated the region in recent years. But several teams have a legitimate shot at getting out of the all-county bottom section and into the ﬁnal and anything can happen in a championship game. Einstein and Damascus likely lead the way but Northwood has posted some big wins in recent weeks and Rockville and Seneca Valley would also be dangerous to overlook.

Comedian Sheng Wang looks to bring big laughs to AMP by Strathmore on Friday.

I ask Hollywood legend Shirley MacLaine if our interview can be recorded for accuracy’s sake. She laughs after giving the go-ahead. “With the NSA in the world, why should I be concerned?” Much — much — has been written about MacLaine’s outspoken views and beliefs on everything from women’s rights to reincarnation, making the prospect of an impromptu interview more than a bit daunting. Not to mention her storied professional career, which clocks in at more than 50 motion pictures — many of them, like “The Apartment” and “Terms of Endearment” some of the bona ﬁde bests the industry ever committed to celluloid — an Academy Award win (and six nominations) and a laundry list of international best-selling tomes. Oh, and she was an honorary member of the Rat Pack, slinging barbs with the likes of Frank, Dean and Sammy, setting the stage for effortless cool before it was a thing. She doesn’t have to be kind or generous. The octogenarian, who celebrated her 81st birthday on April 24, is like a feisty grandmother who could buy you. But on the phone, MacLaine is those things, and also down to earth, graceful and witty. When the subject of popular favorite “Steel Magnolias” is breached, she considers its endurance. “A lot of people are telling me that these days,” she said. “I think maybe [it’s] because of

Comedian Sheng Wang will step up to the mic to deliver fresh stand-up comedy from a unique point of view on Friday at AMP by Strathmore. Wang, who hails from the San Francisco Bay area, has been in comedy for more than a decade, starting when he was in college. “There might have been a lot of signs of this happening to me,” Wang said of becoming a comedian. “I got involved in a little performing arts group — very supportive — that wanted to let anyone, but especially Asian-American kids, get on stage.” Wang, who was in college at the time, ﬁrst graced the stage at a talent show. “Another student had volunteered to do stand-up comedy, and I said, ‘That sounds cool, I’ll try that, too,’” Wang said. “I had very little idea of what stand-up comedy really was about.” Wang said the only impression he had of stand-up comedy at the time was actually based on very little. “It was largely based on the commercials I had seen for Def Comedy Jam and VHS videos of that show in the late ’90s,” Wang said. His college foray would be the start of a

Take a multi-racial stroll down the Yellow Brick Road

Show features diversity while staying true to the source material

SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE

No one needs to be sold on the merits of “The Wizard of Oz.” Between Frank L. Baum’s original novel, the 1939 movie and the musical, the story of Dorothy’s journey back to Kansas can ofﬁcially be labeled as timeless. Of course, there is never an excuse to pass up the opportunity to relive that magic or introduce a new generation to the classic tale. Anyone looking for such an experience is in luck, because the Adventure Theatre Musical Theater Center (ATMTC) is in the middle of its run of “The Wizard of Oz.” “Every time I come back to ATMTC, I feel like we try to create magic, and Oz is at its core, magical,” said director Roberta Gasbarre in a press release. ““I cannot wait to take this journey with the audience, and they should be prepared for an amazing ride.” This trip to Oz is overﬂowing with the best talent the Washington, D.C., theater scene has to offer. Gasbarre was nominated for two Helen Hayes awards — D.C.’s top honors for theater — for ATMTC productions of “The Red Balloon” and “Goodnight Moon,” while Paige Hernandez (who plays Dorothy) also has a couple Helen Hayes nominations under her belt. Jacqueline Lawton, the musical’s playwright, has some serious awards clout as well. She received a Theatre Communication Group’s Young Leaders of Color honor in 2012 and was named one of the top 30 national leading black playwrights by Arena Stage’s American Voices New Play Institute. In addition to her theater credentials, Lawton has always had a special place in her heart for “The Wizard of Oz.” Like Dorothy, she grew up on a farm and connects with the girl’s sense of imagination. Lawton understood that adapt-

Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion all take the stage at Adventure Theatre MTC for “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.”

ing such an iconic story would be a daunting task. Even with the help of Gasbarre, who Lawton said “knows magic and theatricality like her right hand,” it was still a tall older to make this version stand on its own. Lawton admitted that the source material didn’t lend itself well to theatricality. She originally turned all 24 chapters of Baum’s novel into scenes before cutting it down and making it her own. “It was all about enhancing the theatricality and storytelling,” she said. “We wanted people to learn something about the Scarecrow, Tin Man and Lion they didn’t know before.” In the case of the Wicked Witch, Lawton went to the 1939 movie for inspiration. She mentioned watching an interview with Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch from Victor Fleming’s ﬁlm, where she

discussed how much the character enjoyed being evil. “You can’t help but fall in love with her because of how much fun she’s having terrorizing everyone,” Lawton said. She was particularly excited about the play’s use of hand puppets for the munchkins, flying monkeys and Toto. Lawton described the munchkins as “racially diverse,” which she said was definitely not an accident. “The Wizard of Oz” is traditionally a very white story, and it’s African-American counterpart, “The Wiz,” is also pretty one-dimensional in its depiction of race. ATMTC’s production not only has a mixed actress front and center as Dorothy, but also features actors of many different colors. “We’re very intentional with our diversity,” Lawton said. “We know the audience comes from all kinds of backgrounds. We want to make sure that the people on stage reflect their lives.” Turning the story into a mirror is a noble goal, but it’s part of the reason Lawton hopes audiences will enjoy this particular stroll down the Yellow Brick Road. “It’s a familiar story that’s made relevant in a beautiful way,” Lawton said. “You’ll walk away with a renewed sense of why you loved it so much to begin with.”

SHIRLEY

Continued from Page B-5 the bereft notion of roles for women in Hollywood. They remember how good that was and wish some of that would come back.” On Saturday, she brings some of that back, and more, to the Music Center at Strathmore during “An Evening with Shirley MacLaine.” A&E: Well, to start out with, I wanted to wish you a belated happy birthday. MacLaine: (Laughter) Thank you. A&E: Did you celebrate? MacLaine: Oh, I had a great time. A&E: I read you were named after Shirley Temple. I guess she was 6 years old the year you were born. MacLaine: Yeah, that’s right. How could I have been in the business any other way? (laughter) A&E: Did you ever meet Temple or work with her? MacLaine: Never met her. She was a Republican. Mmm-mm. A&E: Speaking of classic Hollywood, I read that one of your passion projects would be a biopic of silent film star Louise Brooks. MacLaine: Oh! God, I would love do to that. You know, when Kenneth Tynan found her, she was in her 70s. He found her in upstate New York. And he had been a fan of her all his life. And the movie would have been about the relationship between Louise Brooks and Kenneth Tynan — the great English journalist. A&E: What is it about her story, in particular, that engaged you, and is it something you still hope to work on? MacLaine: Yes, I think I would like to, but we need to get somebody to play young Louise. She was just so much of a renegade, actually. And you know the old saying, “You never quit Hollywood until you find God?” (laughter) Nobody could understand what it was that Louise had found that she quit. A&E: You’re bringing your show, “An Evening with Shirley MacLaine” to our Music Center at Strathmore. Can you tell me how that production took shape? What was its genesis? MacLaine: Well, I tell you, I have a compendium of wonderful stuff from my movies, my travels, my books, my lovers, my family, the Rat Pack, my stage work — it’s a really pretty good film thing, about 45 minutes. And then I come on and answer any questions that anybody’s got. And that usually lasts a while.

A&E: What do you look forward to the most? What’s the dynamic like with the audience? MacLaine: Oh, I love it. Because I love to know what people are thinking. I love to know where they are in their own lives. And I have to tell you something, my experience with doing these shows — they don’t ask me at the end of the [film] … about the Rat Pack, or Dean and Frank. They ask me about my books. A&E: To tell you the truth, both questions are on my list. I’m a huge fan of the old crooners, specifically Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. I could listen to the live recordings of Dean Martin on a loop in my car. He had such brilliant comic timing. MacLaine: Absolutely. A&E: You were another member of the Pack, itself. What was it like being around them? Were they as much fun to be around as one imagines them to be? MacLaine: You know, absolutely. The … How should I say? It was the spontaneity. Nobody cared in our group what anyone else thought of them. If they were mad they expressed it. If they were funny, they expressed it. It was a real education for me in spontaneity. And that, by the way, was the way they were on the set. The way they were on the stage. And the audience loved seeing the imperfection of those guys. Because a lot of times they put their foot right in it — and they would deal with it. And that’s what everybody loved. The fact that nothing was planned. And that’s what I adored. I don’t like stuff that’s planned. I don’t wanna know what’s going to happen on stage when I go out there. I don’t wanna know. A&E: We mentioned your books — you’re a prolific author. Does writing come easy to you? MacLaine: Um, yeah — if I’m in the mood. And I usually stay in the mood for about six weeks. And I write for six hours a day, six weeks, and that’s when I deal with my back pain — a little bit later. (laughter) I write by hand. And I just write what I’m thinking. I’m not really a ... what do you call it if you’re not a writer but you’re a — a translator of your thoughts. I think that’s what I do. A&E: Are you working on anything right now? MacLaine: Yeah, but I don’t want to talk about it yet. A&E: You have a film coming out, “Wild Oats” with Jessica Lange. MacLaine: Probably next fall ... It’s Jessica, me and Demi [Moore].

A&E: What drew you to that film? MacLaine: Oh, I’ve been working on it for years and years, and frankly I finally I just said, “Ok, nevermind, let’s just do it.” A&E: You’ve become a fan-favorite on “Downton Abbey.” MacLaine: Mmm. A&E: Do you expect a return to that show? MacLaine: One never knows what Julian Fellowes is gonna do, to tell you the truth. I don’t know. But I loved doing it. And I just loved the perfection of everything. The scripts, the wardrobe, the sets, the timing, the attitude... A&E: That show helped to usher in the era of binge-watching. Are you a television watcher yourself? MacLaine: You know, I watch the news. … I got really interested in the “Empire.” I really got interested in that. And, I don’t know — I have to try this binge watching. I don’t have that much time. How come so many people are doing it? Are they just out of work? A&E: I did want to touch on a fascination of mine that it sounds like you share: UFOs. How did that start for you? Have you ever had an encounter? MacLaine: Ok, you know —when I was 10 years old … I’ve been a mystic all my life, I think. The first presents for Christmas I asked for were a telescope and a cross. I sort of knew there were people out there, and I also knew there was a God out there. And I wanted to know about both. And that’s been since I was 10 years old. Yes, I saw many UFOs in Peru, whenever I would visit Peru and go up to 8,000 feet. And I’ve seen them all over New Mexico, too. A&E: I think it’s very interesting that you mentioned a belief in a God and alien life, because it seems to me that a lot of people think that if you believe in one you can’t believe in the other. MacLaine: No, that’s not true. Do you remember Monsignor Balducci? [He] served about five popes in the Catholic church. He came out with an announcement on behalf of the popes — “Welcome to our brothers and sisters in space, under God.” And nobody picked it up! ... Look it up some time. I think you’d be astounded. A&E: Your first film was “The Trouble With Harry.” Do you have memories of that shoot and of Hitchcock? MacLaine: Of course I do. I was his eating partner, since I was not the tall, thin, ethereal blonde who had

Page B-7 mystery… whatever I was to him, he wanted me to eat every meal with him. I gained 25 pounds on that movie. And I adored him. I didn’t find him cruel. I didn’t find him any of that. I found him cryptically sarcastic, but a lot of people with his kind of background were like that. A&E: I read a quote of yours that made me smile. Regarding Audrey Hepburn, you said, “She taught me how to dress and I taught her how to curse.” And I guess my question is: Who was the better student? MacLaine: (laughter) I was the best teacher, cuz she didn’t teach me a thing about dressing! Oh, I adored her. A&E: Looking back over your career, it’s hard to find an area that you have not dabbled in or perfected. But the big news this week in entertainment is the opening of the “Avengers” film. The superhero craze is attracting a lot of high-caliber talent, when in years before it never did. Is that something you would ever consider, or is that just not your thing? MacLaine: I don’t know. If she was metaphysically inclined or had some version of God, or had something that was kind of reminiscent of my books, yeah. But otherwise, it’s just serving the corporate mind that knows that these branded pictures make so much money. You would have to say something that I either agree with or am interested in. A&E: To that end, what are the big issues that you find yourself paying attention to? MacLaine: Women’s roles in our society. Not only in leadership, but also in equal thinking, equal points of view. I think poverty is a disgrace. I think we should be more socialized. If you’re going to socialize medicine… if you’re going to have that kind of medical stuff, make it totally socialistic like they did in Canada and England and Sweden and elsewhere. It’s kind of an equalization of being alive. That’s what I’m interested in. A&E: Is there anything else you would like to tell fans who are coming out to the show? MacLaine: Just come with lots of questions on your mind and I’ll do my best to answer them. Because that’s what they call me — the questioner. A&E: That’s a great superhero name, by the way. MacLaine: (laughter) Ok. noravec@gazette.net

COMEDIAN

Continued from Page B-5 promising career in comedy that would lead Wang to a half-hour Comedy Central special in 2011 and a 2014 appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, among others. “I found it to be a complete thrill to just get on stage, talk to an audience and connect to a bunch of strangers,” Wang said. Wang explains that his comedy is universal and not mean-spirited. “Typically, I try to do comedy that is just personal observations, usually based on personal experiences and things that are very common to everybody,” he said. “I try to take a weird or unique view on things and situate it in a way that’s familiar to everybody.” His unique take also won him the top honor at NBC Universal’s seventhannual “Stand-Up for Diversity” comedy search in 2011, aimed at promoting minority comedians. “I think it is important to have some Asian representation in stand-up comedy and mainstream American culture,” Wang said. “However, my approach to it is to just be a great comedian who represents Asian-Americans well.” Wang is also trying to diversify his skills and learn more about the art of writing for television. “That’s something that I’ve always thought about but never really pursued,” Wang said. “Ultimately, I would like to create something that would be based on the personal experiences that I draw from for my stand-up comedy.” Wang said he’s excited to perform in Maryland, which will be just one show of a promising year ﬁlled with a great deal of travel and personal growth. “I know that it’s a long journey, and it’s only fulﬁlling when I feel like I’m growing constantly, every year, and I feel like this has been one of those years so far,” Wang said. “I think it will be a really great show. It will be a fun time. I’ll be Asian and doing comedy coming from a unique place that’s still relatable,” Wang said with a laugh.
