Travel budget is on the rise

At Magruder High, it’s no joke

Rockville mayor, council cite value of attending events n

RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER

Throughout the year, Rockville officials travel and attend various events to represent the city, and taxpayers foot the bill. But how much travel is appropriate? And just how big should the public’s figurative dime be? These questions and others arose during the mayor and city council’s discussion Monday night of the proposed $122 million fiscal 2016 budget. Each year, the city allocates money for the mayor and council members to attend events in and outside of the city, including national conferences. In fiscal 2013 and 2014, the mayor and council were budgeted $10,000 for travel and events. In the current fiscal ’15, that rose to $12,500, said Gavin Cohen, the city’s finance director. But they overshot those projections. In fiscal 2013, they spent $11,042 for travel and $4,440 for events, according to city staff. That spending rose in fiscal ’14 to $13,899 and $5,045, respectively. The proposed budget for next year includes $12,800 for travel and $1,000 for events. That would give each member $2,000 for travel and $200 to cover expenses if the money is allocated evenly among the mayor and four council members, as well as

a remaining collective $2,800 to cover reimbursements for parking and mileage. In June, Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton and Councilwomen Beryl Feinberg, Virginia Onley and Julie Palakovich Carr attended the annual Maryland Municipal League convention in Ocean City, at a cost to the city of nearly $3,900, according to city records. In November, Councilman Tom Moore and Palakovich Carr attended a ﬁve-day conference for the National League of Cities in Austin, Texas, at a cost of more than $1,500 each. Moore said he found the conference informative and productive, especially for a city of Rockville’s size. Members were divided Monday over whether the travel and events costs should be separate items or added together. Attending events and conferences helps the mayor and council members learn and grow, said Councilwoman Virginia Onley, who said she thinks the amounts should be a lump sum for each member rather than individual items. One problem with having the items broken out separately is that it’s not always immediately clear where an individual conference will be held, Feinberg said. Council members shouldn’t be constrained by trying to determine whether something is a travel item or an event item, she said. Palakovich Carr and

‘Pain’ art causes some Rosa Parks students delve into discomfort at GreenFest the woman behind the name Festival exhibitors moved to keep children from seeing drawings at college

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

Questions about the appropriateness of an art exhibit at Montgomery College’s art center in Silver Spring led to a venue change Saturday at GreenFest. About 30 festival exhibitors were moved from the Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation Arts Center to another building after county ofﬁcials suggested that art on display in the center’s foyer might not be appropriate for the familyfriendly event, said Patrick Laceﬁeld, a spokesman for County Executive Isiah Leggett (D). The county originally asked the col-

lege to move the art before the entities agreed to ﬁnd an alternate venue. At issue were drawings by artist Cindi Hron of Pennsylvania in an exhibit titled, “Back Pain.” Hron’s collection depicts an unclothed female torso — from both the front and back — marked with scars, wounds and more. The Montgomery County GreenFest took place at Montgomery College’s Takoma Park/Silver Spring campus and at Jesup Blair Local Park. It was held on Saturday and included musical performances, exhibitors and information about a variety of environmental issues. A festival of ﬁlms with environmental themes was part of the day, too. College spokesman Marcus Rosano did not return multiple phone calls asking

In 1993, Rosa Parks attended the dedication of the middle school in Olney named in her honor. To today’s students at the school, that’s practically ancient history, so their knowledge of the civil rights leader has come primarily from textbooks. Last week, a group of 30 students from the school were invited to visit an exhibit on the Civil Rights Act of 1964 at the Library of Congress in Washington,

Ashton entrepreneur, 10, has business in her blood Fifth-grader launches animal-themed lip balms for children

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER

Daisy Creel might still be a little girl, but she has big ideas and a big heart. Daisy, a ﬁfth-grader at Cloverly Elementary School in Silver Spring, recently launched Lipzu, her own line of lip balm for children. She got the idea a few months ago, after noticing how popular a brand of egg-shaped lip balms had become. “I thought it would be cool to have them in the form of animals,” she said. The Ashton 10-year-old mentioned the idea to her mother, Amy Maurer Creel, an entrepreneur who founded Teething Bling, a line of stylish products for teething babies. Creel said she had Daisy sketch up some ideas of what her balm might look like. Daisy came up with several variations, including Rosie, a

floral-scented duck; Minty, a mint-flavored seal; Peachy, a peach-scented panda; and Lemonpaw, a lemon-scented polar bear. Creel arranged to have some samples made at a factory in China, and she and Daisy developed a website, lipzu.com. From there, Lipzu was hatched. There are currently six varieties available for purchase online, with two more on the way. They cost $5 each. The products are 95 percent organic, 100 percent natural, paraben- and petroleum-free, and contain vitamin E, shea butter and jojoba oil. Daisy said the lip balms have become popular with her friends and classmates. Creel said Daisy has really been instrumental in the launch of the company. “I really don’t have the time to work on it, so she gets the orders at her own email address, ﬁlls them, packs them up and gets them ready to ship out,” Creel said. “It was her idea and she is the one making it happen.” The venture, which has

come to fruition in just a few short months, has been a learning experience. “I learned that having a business is hard work and sometimes stressful, but also really fun,” Daisy said. The hardest part was coming up with all the animal designs and picking the ﬂavors, she said. The best part was seeing the finished website and having a promotional photo shoot with her friends. Her advice to others starting a business: “Try to make it more popular by spreading your idea around, and don’t give up.” Daisy is donating a portion of Lipzu’s sales to the Montgomery County Humane Society. “We got all of our pets” — two cats, a dog and a bird — “there, and they are always looking for donations,” she said. “It is always good to help others.” When she’s not busy designing products or fulﬁlling orders, Daisy enjoys horseback riding, playing video games, and reading the “Warrior” novel series. thogan@gazette.net

Both men played important roles in the American Revolution, and both have high schools named after them in Rockville. But only one was responsible for the founding of Montgomery County, and it wasn’t Richard Montgomery. Students at Rockville’s Thomas S. Wootton High School recently unveiled a roadside marker honoring their school’s namesake, the man who was responsible for creating the county that bears Montgomery’s name. Collecting information on Wootton was a two-year process, using the Maryland Archives, Montgomery County Historical Society and Peerless Rockville, said Randy Alton, who teaches college preparation courses at the school. Alton said he’s always had a feeling that many people didn’t know the story behind the man Wootton High is named for, but it’s important that students in

after the Tea Party there, which Alton called an “amazing act of courage.” Alton said Wootton also was present in Annapolis on Dec. 23, 1783, when Washington resigned his commission as commander of the Continental Army, seen by historians as a key moment in establishing the principle of civilian control of the nation’s military. Rahila Olanrewaju, a junior at Wootton who participated in the project, said that being able to truly understand who Wootton was made her proud to go to the school and gave her motivation for the work she’s doing in school. Junior Thomas Savransky said there’s a lot of history that gets left out or not covered in school that might be relevant to people’s daily lives. Classes tend to teach about big events rather than people, Savransky said, and the project helped him learn about who Wootton was, as well as Richard Montgomery and how important he was to U.S. history. “I do feel I know more about that than I did before,” Savransky said.

Montgomery understand the roots of their county. It was Wootton who, as a member of the state’s General Assembly, proposed a bill in 1776 to split Frederick County — which stretched from the Potomac River in Georgetown to Pennsylvania — into three counties. He proposed naming the new counties after two Revolutionary War heroes: George Washington and Montgomery, an American general who had been killed the previous year in an attack on British troops in Quebec, Canada. The bill narrowly passed, 27-24. Telling Wootton’s story also makes people look at Richard Montgomery’s story correctly, Alton said. “He was America’s ﬁrst true hero,” Alton said. Along with being elected ﬁrst speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates, Wootton was a key player in forming the Maryland militia, a key piece of Washington’s army. In 1774, Wootton had joined eight others in signing a statement in the Maryland Gazette publicly opposing the British occupation of Boston

Young bread bakers rise to the occasion Hopkins hosts fourth-graders for activity blending science, charity n

BY GAZETTE STAFF

About 350 fourth-graders went to Johns Hopkins University in Rockville on Monday to learn the science of bread baking and also to help feed the hungry. The students, from four elementary schools in Rockville, Laytonsville and Germantown, participated in the King Arthur Flour Bake for Good Kids Learn Bake Share program. A company representative demonstrated bread baking. Students received ﬂour, a recipe booklet, yeast, a bread

donation bag and a dough scraper, with a homework assignment and baking two loaves: one to eat and one to donate to the Interfaith Works Food Pantry. Students were taught about the chemistry of bread, the science of baking and how to solve problems. The students also worked with researchers to apply the lessons to lab experiments. Also participating were representatives from Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center; the Blanchette Rockefeller Neurosciences Institute; the J. Craig Venter Institute; the Johns Hopkins Center for Biotechnology Education; Montgomery College; the Rockville Science Center; and Suburban Hospital.

As spring arrives and leaves begin to emerge, some Rockville trees face a bleak future after being infested with an Asian beetle known as the emerald ash borer. Every ash tree in the ﬁrst block of Twin Oaks Drive is severely infected and will have to be removed in the next few weeks, City Forester Wayne Noll told the mayor and council at their March 23 meeting. The 11 trees on that block are likely “just the tip of the iceberg” in a problem that will spread throughout the city, Noll said. He advised anyone with an ash tree to start treating it now. Some insecticides can be effective, but only if the tree is still healthy, experts say. Once a tree starts to show symptoms, it’s too late, he said. The emerald ash borer was ﬁrst reported in the U.S. in Michigan in the 1990s, according to the U.S. Forest Service. Since then, the insects have been spotted in 22 states, including Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Maryland. The beetles, adults of which are about a half-inch long, only eat the ash leaves, but the larvae burrow into the inner bark of the tree, disrupting its ability to transport water and food. The beetles were first traced to Maryland in a shipment to a Prince George’s County nursery in 2003, which ultimately included trees from an area in Michigan that was inside a quarantine area designed to contain the problem, said Anne Hairston-Strang, acting associate director of the Maryland For-

est Service. Maryland is at an “infestation level,” and there’s little evidence that removing trees will have a significant impact on the spread of emerald ash borers, she said. But ash trees that die tend to degenerate quickly, and removing the trees will prevent them from falling down and possibly injuring people, she said. All native ash trees are susceptible and the pest is probably killing about 99 percent of ash trees they come in contact with, Hairston-Strang said. But scientists are studying the few trees that aren’t affected to see if they can figure out a way to slow or stop the spread. Adult emerald ash borers aren’t strong fliers and generally don’t spread much more than a mile on their own, Hairston-Strang said. Emerald ash borers are usually spread through the transportation of firewood and wood products. While much of Maryland is within the quarantine area, the Eastern Shore is not, meaning that people shouldn’t transport firewood from west of the Chesapeake Bay to the Eastern Shore, she said. Along with firewood, ash also is used for furniture, baseball bats and other products. “It’s a wonderful wood,” Hairston-Strang said. Along with studying the ash trees that are able to withstand the onslaught of the emerald ash borer, researchers are looking at bringing in some of the beetles’ natural predators to try to control the problem, she said. But even so, woodpeckers — which like to feast on the larvae in the trees — have proven better at finding the beetles than the professionals have, she said. rmarshall@gazette.net

School construction bill could give Montgomery $6 million more Proposal would divide $20 million grant among qualifying school systems n

KATE S. ALEXANDER STAFF WRITER

If Maryland establishes a $20 million school construction grant fund for growing school

systems, Montgomery County could get about $6 million of the pie. Maryland’s House Appropriations Committee on Friday passed legislation to establish a $20 million capital grant fund for school systems with high enrollment growth or portable classrooms. The Senate’s Budget and

Taxation Committee gave the bill a favorable report with amendments on Friday. Both the House and the Senate still need to consider the bill, but legislative leaders are backing the bill, so lawmakers are optimistic it will pass. “With a new governor and a lot of new legislators and everyone learning and everything moving pretty slowly, for us to get this extra money, above and beyond, is deﬁnitely a win,” said Del. Anne R. Kaiser (D-Dist. 14) of Calverton, the House majority leader. The bill, championed by

Montgomery County lawmakers, would provide $20 million annually, starting in ﬁscal 2016, to a capital grant fund to be divided among qualifying growing school systems. Of the $20 million the bill sets aside for school systems, about $5.8 million would make its way to Montgomery County, according to a news release from the ofﬁce of Speaker Michael E. Busch (D-Dist. 20) of Annapolis. In fiscal 2016, five school systems would qualify for funding through the grant: Montgomery, Prince George’s, Anne

Arundel, Baltimore and Howard counties. While the bill is not yet a done deal, it’s not languishing, Kaiser said. “We really thank our Montgomery County senators and delegates,” said County Council President George L. Leventhal (D-At Large) of Takoma Park. “I think they have been vigilant in the defense of our interests. We’re very happy about all the money that’s been restored for the operating budget and we’re optimistic that we’ll get more construction money as a result of the grant bill.”

Montgomery lawmakers began pushing for more school construction funds last legislative session, citing annual enrollment growth of about 2,000 students, the equivalent of adding a new high school each year. Despite the grant, Montgomery County still will have an enormous need for more school construction dollars, Leventhal said. Latest ﬁgures from Montgomery County Public Schools show enrollment is expected to grow to 156,654 students for school year 2015-16. As of October 2014, enrollment was about 154,000.

Anytime that we can do something both innovative and enjoyable and at the same time benefit kids and education, that’s something we can get behind.” Membership in this first cycle will be limited to 100 couples and families.

(From left) Austin Brick, Aaron Dane and Jules Jacobs walk to the Capitol. Sammy Davis Jr. AZA, a local chapter. Bryan Pfeffer â&#x20AC;&#x201D; president of Zeta Beta Tau at the University of Maryland, College Park â&#x20AC;&#x201D; led a group of college and high school students in Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce. The students shared their thoughts with a staffer. Pfeffer said students donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel safe on college campuses. Jules said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that those who have been sexually assaulted â&#x20AC;&#x153;get justiceâ&#x20AC;? and help with their recovery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really affects the families and friends, further than just the victims,â&#x20AC;? Austin Brick, a sophomore at Catonsville High School, said during the meeting. Whitman High School senior Aaron Dane, who visited another office, said he was excited to share his voice for the ďŹ rst time with the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision makers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; â&#x20AC;&#x153;one of the highest levels of political action.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Overall, when something bad is happening to people, I feel like I should stand up to do something about it,â&#x20AC;? said Dane, president of the boys chapters in the D.C. Council of BBYO. Before they broke off into groups for the ofďŹ ce visits, the students discussed the idea of intervening in situations to pre-

vent sexual assault. Jules said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;crucialâ&#x20AC;? for the next generation of male college students to not only be informed about the issue of sexual assault at colleges, but to know â&#x20AC;&#x153;how to take a standâ&#x20AC;? when they see a situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so many ways that we can intervene and having that in your tool belt is going to be so important for when weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in those situations, so that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not scared, so that the party involved isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t scared, and that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about confrontation, but you can avoid it in a safe and smart way,â&#x20AC;? he said. Pfeffer said he thinks itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;refreshingâ&#x20AC;? for a member of Congress to hear from college men who want to â&#x20AC;&#x153;be part of the solutionâ&#x20AC;? and make sure women feel safe on campuses. He said it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;really inspiringâ&#x20AC;? to have high school students team up with the fraternity brothers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really promising to see that guys that are a lot younger than me and maybe [have not] seen the things you see in college already care so strongly about the issue,â&#x20AC;? Pfeffer said.

State lawmakers wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold hearings on Montgomery County GOP leader Michael Higgsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointment to the Maryland Public Service Commission this session. Higgs, of Rockville, was one of Gov. Larry Hoganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 331 â&#x20AC;&#x153;green bagâ&#x20AC;? appointments made earlier this year. Now, his conďŹ rmation is in limbo. Sen. Jamie B. Raskin said the Senateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Executive Nominations Committee, which he chairs, will close its work this session without considering Higgsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; appointment. Raskin (D-Dist. 20) of Takoma Park said Hogan (R) asked the committee to delay consideration of his appointments to the Public Service Commission. The other PSC appointee is Jeanette M. Mills of Howard County. Hogan spokesman Douglass Mayer said the governor held the appointments to allow the PSC to rule in the proposed Pepco acquisition by Exelon before the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s membership changes. Regina Davis, a spokeswoman for the Public Service Commission, said Tuesday that the commissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadline

Neatly dressed in suits and ties, high school and college students waited patiently Friday in Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ofďŹ ce on Capitol Hill. The group was ready to impress the importance of an issue that weighed on their minds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; sexual assault on college campuses. The students were among about 40 that trekked to Washington, D.C., on Friday as part of an effort by Jewish Women International, the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity and Aleph Zadik Aleph, a program under a Jewish teen movement called BBYO. Both the young men in college and those soon headed to campuses participated in the event called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brother to Brother,â&#x20AC;? which encompassed training, discussion and trips to the ofďŹ ces of ďŹ ve senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee. Several students hailed from Montgomery County Public Schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Wootton, Sherwood, Walter Johnson, Churchill and Richard Montgomery high schools. Jules Jacobs, a 16-year-old sophomore at Wootton High in Rockville and the eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s founder, said the goal of Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sessions with congressional staff members was to share personal stories to help spur national lawmakers to vote for legislation on the issue. They are not pushing for any particular bill. Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort was also important, he said, to help the young men involved understand that their voices can be heard by legislators and they can make a difference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to be able to make a voice in what we want change in,â&#x20AC;? said Jules, president of the

Council OKs Aspen Hill rezoning

Supporters hope action will bring ‘quality development’ to large vacant building n

Eight dresses were given to girls and, with more than 170 dresses remaining, the group plans to hold another giveaway at the church from 4 to 9 p.m. April 17 and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April 18.

POLICE BLOTTER The following is a summary of incidents in the Rockville area to which Montgomery County and/or Rockville city police responded recently.

In what supporters hope will result in “quality development” for a large building that has been vacant for five years, the Montgomery County Council on Tuesday approved a minor amendment to the Aspen Hill master plan by a 7-2 vote. A 265,000-square-foot building on Connecticut Avenue near Aspen Hill Road has been vacant since 2010, when defense and aerospace contractor BAE Systems moved out. The amendment changes the zoning on the property from office to commercial residential town, which allows a mixture of uses, including retail. Developer Bruce H. Lee said he has tried for several years to find suitable office tenants for that site without success. He said Tuesday he was “very happy” with the council’s decision. “The ability to move forward with retail was key, since that is where the market is,” Lee said. Council President George L. Leventhal (D-At Large) of Takoma Park and Marc Elrich (DAt Large) of Takoma Park cast the dissenting votes. Leventhal said he was concerned about “smart growth” in the area and objected to the “manner in which this issue was brought up.” Moreover, the county is “near saturation” for retail in many areas, with new developments such as Crown in Gaithersburg attracting shoppers who ordinarily spend money at nearby older centers, he said. “There is only so much appetite ... to spend and shop,” Leventhal said. Elrich said officials should look at a more comprehensive approach with all of the shopping centers in the Aspen Hill area, not focus on one development.

In a 5-4 vote two years ago, the council limited the review to mostly the former BAE site, rejecting a council committee’s recommendation to include other Aspen Hill commercial and retail areas. The Planning Board recommended rezoning the property to neighborhood retail. Many residents preferred commercial residential neighborhood, which they said would not allow such big retailers. Most council members have listened to and worked with residents, said Judy Fink, a board member of the Aspen Hill Civic Association and steering committee member of Aspen Hill Homeowners Group. She said the groups have more than 2,000 signatures on a petition from residents who opposed the neighborhood retail zoning. Officials listened to developers and residents, and the council’s CRT decision restricts some of the “big box” potential for the site while providing flexibility for future retail and possibly residential uses, said Councilwoman Nancy Floreen (D-At Large) of Garrett Park. She chairs the council’s Planning, Housing and Economic Development Committee that reviewed the proposal. “We changed [the Planning Board’s recommendations] some, but that’s what we do,” Floreen said. Some council members expressed concern over smaller retailers being hurt by larger ones. But Councilman Craig L. Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown said “big box” stores worked well with smaller ones in the Milestone shopping center in Germantown, which features Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target, Kohl’s, Giant, Big Lots and more. “The larger stores bring in traffic that helps to support the smaller businesses,” Rice said. “But that may not be the right fit for [the Aspen Hill] property.” Some said the issue was being reviewed to mostly benefit one developer, but Councilwoman Nancy Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring said

that was not the case. She said it was important to enhance development in the area since she heard from residents who traveled to Howard County to find “better quality retail.” “We need to change the perception and turn around that area in terms of quality amenities for every single resident,” Navarro said. She added that she hopes for better retail development in sections of Silver Spring such as Colesville. The CRT zone has a greater focus on design and pedestrian use. Building heights can be up to 60 feet and have to taper down near existing residential development, said Marlene Michaelson, a council senior legislative analyst. The zone allows for about 200,000 square feet of retail and commercial development, plus residential uses, but it’s rare that property owners develop near the limit, she said. The plan requires the developer to provide public amenities. The council added language that could minimize traffic on Aspen Hill Road and more clearly preserve trees, as well as a zoning text amendment to provide more flexibility for uses such as grocery stores. Wal-Mart expressed interest in the property if the zoning were changed, but withdrew last year due to uncertainty in the county’s zoning processes. Before that, Costco was interested in Aspen Hill, but opened a store in Wheaton in 2013 after the county offered a $4 million subsidy. At nearby Northgate Plaza Shopping Center, Lee’s company spent millions in upgrades and added a roughly 60,000-square-foot Kohl’s Department Store in 2012. The former BAE building was first occupied by Vitro Corp., which started in the 1950s as a manufacturing company of mostly slide transparencies for overhead projectors and eventually became part of BAE. Vitro once had two other buildings in a campus there, but they were torn down in the 1990s to make way for Home Depot. kshay@gazette.net

Report shows crime rose in 2014 from 2013 BY

VIRGINIA TERHUNE STAFF WRITER

The county’s overall crime rate dropped to its lowest point in 10 years in 2013, but then started to rise again in 2014, according to recent Police Department statistics. The categories of rape, robbery and burglary dropped from 2013 to 2014 countywide, according to statistics provided by Darryl McSwain, assistant chief of police, during a briefing before the County Council’s Public Safety committee on Monday. However, aggravated assault, homicide and larceny increased, according to McSwain’s report. “Aggravated assaults increased the most,” said McSwain, citing a countywide increase from 584 incidents in 2013 to 964 in 2014. A large part of the increase is due to the fact that choking without injury is now counted as an aggravated assault instead of a simple assault, he said.

But even taking into account the shift in reporting categories, aggravated assault rose relative to simple assault, he said. A simple assault can be punching someone, for example, while aggravated assault involves weapons such as bats or knives. “Forty-six percent of aggravated assaults are domestic related, and the vast majority are [among people] who [know] each other,” McSwain said. Homicides are also up, rising from 8 to 19 victims, he said, noting that in most cases the attacker and victim knew each other. McSwain also said a third of the those charged with homicide also had some kind of mental illness. The county’s Emergency Communications Center, which handles 911 calls, received 823,000 calls for service in 2014, and about 5,500 of them were related to mental illness, McSwain said. Meanwhile, robberies dropped from 763 in 2013 to 646 last year, according to the statistical report. The department’s investigators have benefited from

Crime reports fall in Rockville BY GAZETTE STAFF

While crime increased in much of Montgomery County last year, Rockville police on Monday reported a 3 percent overall drop in 2014 in the city, continuing a 10-year trend. Reports of serious crimes, including homicide, rape, robbery, assault, burglary and arson, fell 7 percent, to 1,234 from 1,328 in 2013. Reports of less serious crimes, such as simple assault, curfew offense, fraud and vandalism, dropped 2 percent, to 2,951 from 3,001. assigning armed robberies of banks, businesses and homes to a central team at police headquarters, leaving investigators of other robberies to each district. This has proven to be the “best model,” McSwain said. Theft from autos also dropped slightly but the crime remains a problem.

In particular, these categories were cited: • Burglaries were down 30 percent, to 139 from 199. • Robberies, down 18 percent, to 47 from 57. • Aggravated assault, down 13 percent, to 40 from 46. • Auto thefts, down 10 percent, to 55 from 61. However, the number of reported rapes in the city increased from six to 10. In eight of the incidents, the offender was known to the victim, police said. The full report is at rockvillemd.gov/police. “Probably 60 to 70 percent are thefts from unlocked cars. ... [Thieves] will go down a residential street at 2 a.m. [checking cars],” he said. Crime reports by district for 2014 are posted at the department’s website at mymcpnews. com.

However, he wrote in an email that “all parties’ interests were met.” He also wrote that the college’s fiscal 2016 budget, still undecided by county officials, was not a factor in any of the decisions regarding GreenFest. Rosano did not directly respond to questions posed to him about what happened, the college’s response and whether the county’s request was viewed as an attempt at censorship. The series of drawings is about pain and the way in which the body is transformed through trauma, Hron said in a written statement about her work. “Whether trauma is physical or emotional it leaves a mark on the body that is healed or left to fester, and makes us who we are. Scars and wounds, rashes, eruptions, bruises and wrinkles real or imagined, seen and unseen evolve over time to create and recreate the landscape of ourselves,” she wrote. In a phone interview Tuesday, Hron described her work as a personal narrative through abstract figures depicting the effects of pain. “It’s the core of the body and I think that is what I was responding to: the pain, the loss

brarian of Congress, greeted the students. His daughter Elizabeth, a student at Rosa Parks, was among the visiting group. The students viewed a display case of items from Parks’ collections, featuring her many awards and other memorabilia, as curator Adrienne Cannon explained the material. They then went to a room where other items were laid out on a table and explained to the students by archivist Meg McAleer. Among them was Parks’ “Featherlite Pancake” recipe, featuring peanut butter as the secret ingredient. The students were each given a copy of the recipe. Edwina Bawuah, a math teacher at Rosa Parks Middle School, said the exhibit allowed

the students to dig deep into Parks’ life. They went beneath the surface of her bold decision in 1955 to refuse to give her bus seat in Montgomery, Ala., to a white man, sparking a bus boycott that helped fuel the burgeoning civil rights movement. “Many students agreed that her actions were daring, maybe even outspoken, but the profound insight that the students gained gave them a whole new perspective of the fearless and inspirational woman,” Bawuah said. The students appreciated the opportunity to learn more about their school’s namesake. “It was such an amazing opportunity to be able to see the Rosa Parks exhibit,” said seventh-grader Elizabeth Mao. “I

“It’s not that they were nude. It’s not about nudes at all. There are nudes everywhere,” Lacefield said. Rather, he said, the drawings were of “disembodied human torsos with gashes across and red stuff there or coming out.” Lacefield said the county asked Montgomery College to move the exhibit to a different part of the art gallery, away from families with children visiting the festival. “Not cover up, not take down, not censor,” Lacefield said. “It was not censorship in any way.” Ultimately, the county and the college decided to move GreenFest exhibitors to a different building, Lacefield said. Douglas Weisburger and Ryan Zerbe, who were both listed as a contacts for GreenFest, could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Hron said it appeared the college handled the situation well. She appreciated that it went to bat for her work and did not close the show. As for children viewing her work, she said that should be up to parents. “Anything that creates discussion, if children ask, that would be something that would be good to talk about,” she added. kalexander@gazette.net learned a lot about Rosa Parks’ history, and I was very happy I could attend the field trip.” Bawuah said that in an autographed manuscript, Parks describes walking home from school one day when a young white boy began to bully her. Not willing to be terrorized, Parks picked up a brick to intimidate the bully, causing him to flee and leave her alone. Parks’ mother scolded her in fear that Rosa’s bravery would cause her to get in trouble — the same bravery that drove her as an adult. In reflection of that manuscript, sixth-grader Dillon Stone said, “I often wonder how kids lived in a segregated South, having to always worry.” The manuscript also moved eighth-grader Brian Hopkins.

LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER

The Montgomery County Public Schools academic year will creep into the district’s summer break. On June 15, the school system will make up one of the three days lost to wintry weather, extending the school year by a day. The other two days missed, however, have been waived by the state.

TRAVEL

Continued from Page A-1 Moore said they thought travel and events should be separate items. Also, Moore said, Newton should get a larger allocation than the council members, as her travel needs are greater. Onley agreed, saying there are some events that only the mayor attends to represent the city. During the Great Recession of 2007-09, the fund was often raided to cover other bills because the members “We were able to see what was going on in Rosa Parks’ life both before and after the bus incident through her own writing,” he said. The exhibit, comprising three parts — Before the Boycott, Awards and Honors, and Beyond the Bus — gave students a fuller picture of Parks, beyond her radical stand on that Montgomery bus. “This understanding reveals that her decision that day was not the ﬁrst, but one feat of many throughout her life that embodied who she was, and why of the many champions of change and equality for which school could have been named,” it was named for Parks, Bawuah said. “Standing up for herself was not out of Parks’ nature. It

includes four instructional days beyond the 180-day minimum the state requires. The extra days mean that four of the seven snow days this winter needn’t be made up. State schools Superintendent Lillian M. Lowery on Monday approved a district request to waive two class days lost when bad weather closed schools. The district had scheduled a teacher workday on June 15, but has moved it to June 16. lpowers@gazette.net weren’t spending it, Newton said, but the current mayor and council have been more active in attending conferences and events. She said she thinks it’s important that they’re involved in the community and in building relationships and partnerships with different people and municipalities at the events they attend. The mayor and council need the ﬂexibility to do the job they’re expected to do, Newton said. rmarshall@gazette.net was in fact, who she was even in her youth.” Bawuah said that as sixthgrader J’niya Buckman sat at a table with her classmates, she pulled out her camera in time to record the sentiments of McAleer, who said, “Of all of the collections that I have encountered, this collection has meant the most; it will stick with me for the rest of my life.” The collection, which contains manuscripts, photographs and other unique personal items belonging to Parks, will be on loan to the Library of Congress for the next 10 years. The exhibit is on display through Jan. 2, and is also available online at loc. gov/exhibits/. thogan@gazette.net

Takoma Park pawn shop owner works to set business apart from rest n

KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER

After trying a few jobs following high school graduation, Victor Goodman started working for a pawn shop in Washington, D.C. The shop was a few blocks from the White House. It was the 1960s. “Anything that was happening in the city was right outside our door,” Goodman said. “There were demonstrations and protest marches going on right outside us. I loved meeting people that came in and being in the middle of things. It was the best job in the world. ... I had found my calling.” Some five decades later, Goodman is still in the business. He has owned G&G Pawnbrokers in a strip center close to Walgreens and 7-Eleven near the corner of New Hampshire Avenue and University Boulevard in Takoma Park for more than three decades. “I’ve seen a little bit of everything,” Goodman said. There has been a letter written by Abraham Lincoln, an Olympic gold medal, a Civil War pocket watch. Someone even brought in a glass eye when he worked at the D.C. shop. “I didn’t know what it was,” Goodman recalled. “Then someone in the back said it was a glass eye.” He didn’t pawn the eye. The gold medal came from a basketball player. “We made him a loan, and he returned to pay us back and pick it up,” Goodman said. The pawn business is similar to a bank in lending money,

The loans are insured, and the large majority of customers pay back their loans on time. The loan is good for two months and can be extended another couple of months by paying interest. If customers do not pay back the loan within three months or so, pawnbrokers take possession of an item and sell it. “We try to keep our inter-

est rates as low as possible and give our customers the best deal we can,” Goodman said. “If you treat people nice, they will come back.” Customers apparently reciprocate. Last year, readers of Washington City Paper voted G&G as runnerup in the best pawn shops category of that weekly publication’s annual survey. Crown Pawnbrokers in D.C., which dates to 1939, took ﬁrst. About six years ago, Goodman’s business started advertising for vintage stereo systems and equipment. Nestled among items for sale inside the shop — such as tools, jewelry and television sets — are numerous stereo systems dating back decades, some with eight-track tape players. “That’s a passion of mine,” Goodman said. “I’ve always liked vintage equipment. We’ve

become known for taking those types of items. Some people come in here and say they have never seen anything like what we have. We’re almost like a museum.” There is a unique collection of vintage guitars and an old photo showing the shop’s building from when it was a malt shop back in the 1950s. Every item the shop receives is reported electronically to police. Goodman sometimes takes in items he strongly suspects are stolen to help get them back to their owners. “We don’t get many stolen items,” he said. Although he doesn’t normally accept weapons, he did take in a large dagger once. “I wanted to make sure that got off the streets,” Goodman said. kshay@gazette.net

County puts health ﬁrst

Montgomery County officials made two decisions last month to help safeguard the public health. Both involve what we breathe — an important human activity, to say the least. In the same week, the county’s Board of Appeals denied Costco Wholesale’s request to build a 16-pump gas station outside its store at Westfield Wheaton mall and extended the county’s ban on where cigarettes can be smoked to include electronic cigarettes. RECENT In the Costco case, RULINGS which the company PROTECT still could appeal in RESIDENTS court, the five-member board agreed with hearing examiner Martin Grossman. He cited the impact of fumes from idling vehicles at the proposed gas station on students at nearby Stephen Knolls School, neighbors and users of the nearby Kenmont Swim & Tennis Club. The school has about 100 special-needs students, some of whom have disabilities that include chronic lung disease and asthma, with some having to use oxygen tanks. According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, vehicle fumes contain compounds such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides. In high concentrations, carbon monoxide can be quickly lethal; in lower concentrations it can irreversibly damage the brain and heart. Nitrogen oxides can irritate the eyes, nose, throat and lungs, and in high levels can cause rapid burning, spasms and swelling of tissues in the throat and upper respiratory tract. It’s not what we want to breathe. Nor are the compounds found in the vapor from e-cigarettes, which deliver nicotine into the bloodstreams of users and bystanders. Despite proponents arguments that “vaping” is a safe and effective way to help smokers quit, e-cigarettes are unregulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. That means no one really knows how much nicotine is in them — or what other compounds, and their quantities, are in them. Again, citing the CDC, current research shows that: • Nicotine from e-cigarettes is absorbed by users and bystanders. • Nicotine is highly addictive. • Nicotine is especially a health danger to youth who use e-cigarettes. It may have longterm, negative effects on brain growth. • Nicotine is a health danger for pregnant women and their developing babies. Using an e-cigarette and even being around someone else using an e-cigarette can expose pregnant women to nicotine and other chemicals that may be toxic. • E-cigarette aerosol is not “water vapor.” It contains nicotine and can contain other chemicals. It is not as safe as clean air. • The nicotine solution in e-cigarettes is not harmless “juice.” Children and adults have been poisoned by swallowing, breathing or absorbing the liquid through their skin or eyes. • Additional chemicals that are harmful or may be harmful have been found in some ecigarettes. These substances include traces of metal, volatile organic compounds and nitrosamines. The levels tend to be lower than in regular cigarettes, but there’s no way to know what you’re getting because e-cigarettes are not yet regulated. The County Council wisely banned ecigarettes in public places where tobacco already is banned; it also made it illegal for minors to use e-cigarettes and required the liquid used in e-cigarettes to be sold in childresistant packaging. The ban means that e-cigarettes can’t be used indoors in public places such as restaurants, stores, offices and government buildings, and on county property. “I think this sends an important message to our community and the world at large that Montgomery County is very dedicated to addressing public health,” said Councilwoman Nancy Floreen (D-At Large) of Garrett Park. “And I really do believe that’s one of our primary responsibilities as elected officials.” Indeed it is.

History would suffer if buildings come down The March 19 ﬁre at Georgia Avenue and Bonifant Street is not only devastating for the owners and employees of the three businesses impacted, but for the historicity of downtown Silver Spring. In the event that the structures are found to be irreparable, the building that Bombay Gaylord/ Quarry House occupies (built in 1927) and Mandarin Restaurant (built in 1937) will probably be demolished. This will bookend with the scheduled demolition of all of the 1920s and 30s structures diagonally across the intersection in the block of Georgia Avenue between Ripley and Bonifant (west side) that will be replaced by a glass ofﬁce building. Downtown Silver Spring’s “Main Street” of early-20th-century structures will then be well on its way to looking like Anywhere, USA. Jerry A. McCoy, Silver Spring

Transit plan would ruin suburbia

I am growing increasingly concerned about our county. Between poor transit and development decisions and damaging decisions about public education, no wonder so many long-time residents are moving out. What is happening to our wonderful suburban community? One of our county’s biggest push is for the Corridor Cities Transitway. The CCT will be absolutely terrible for us. It not only permanently removes any sense of suburbia, but it

paves the way (literally and ﬁguratively) to mass development in our neighborhood. Our nice suburban community will soon become very urban, with business and residence all mixed in together, with two giant bus lanes that go with our current trafﬁc, in addition to having underground lanes and elevated lanes with matching platforms to board the buses. Bye bye, beautiful landscape. Most of the neighborhoods affected by the CCT are against this.

There are petitions against this. Yet, the county seems to ignore our voices. What is going on with our elected ofﬁcials? We need a change in direction. I humbly request that everyone please stay informed and make your voice heard. This is our neighborhood. It’s time to let our leaders know they are not representing us. Let’s get back to loving where we live. Lisa Sontheimer, North Potomac

Interactive play develops sound minds With the spotlight on Silver Spring in the “free-range” parenting debate, it’s worth reiterating that children are built to learn through interactive play. We must do a better job of protecting this endangered playtime in our neighborhoods and at schools. At home and on weekends, unstructured (and yes, unsupervised) play is crucial for child development. It can be many things: Walking home from school. Exploring the woods. Going to the store. Climbing trees. Inventing a game with neighbors. Tak-

ing off on a bike. Catching the bus. These are examples from my Baltimore upbringing that were powerful character-shapers. It was a big deal when I got to do them by myself. If we never let kids be alone, how can they learn the way their brains are wired to learn? At school, kids are constantly supervised, yet at a school that is powered by Playworks, “Junior Coaches” are put in charge of recess. We’ve found kids learn the most when they lead their own play. Healthy play and a high-functioning

recess are proven to reduce bullying, restore productive classroom time, increase physical activity and improve academic outcomes. CEOs regularly report that the top four personnel qualities they look for are collaboration, communication, creativity and ﬂexibility. Let’s train the workforce of tomorrow by giving kids healthy play opportunities today. Susan Comfort, Takoma Park The writer is executive director of Playworks Washington, D.C.

Hard work went into Churchill’s success As a proud Bulldog parent, I just want to congratulate the remarkable 2014-2015 Churchill High hockey team on an amazing season. During its dominating run to the Maryland state championship, it went 20-1, including 19 straight wins over both public and private schools. It outscored the opposition 162-22 with depth, balance and great teamwork. What most people don’t know is that they wake up at 4:30 a.m. twice a week for 5:30 a.m. practice for four months, then go straight to school. Most of them play travel hockey as well. And they do this while carrying one of the highest GPAs of any team in Maryland. Our captain, Ross Allen, won the Yvon Labre award given to the player in Maryland who accomplished the most on and off the ice. Special recognition should go to coaches Ray McKenzie, Sam Mrvos and Steve Bobys, who demand excellence, both on and off the ice, and give so generously of their time and skill. Congratulations again to this great bunch of kids. Jay M. Weinstein, Bethesda

Through Exelon acquisition, Pepco can improve like BGE did There’s been a lot of discussion about what the merger of Pepco Holdings and Exelon will mean for Montgomery County. Residents and elected officials are naturally wondering whether they will end up better off if the deal goes through. We have a lot of experience with that in Baltimore. In 2012, Exelon acquired Constellation and its Baltimore-based utility, Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE). More than three years later, Exelon has an established track record here, and based on that, we can offer some insight on how this transaction is likely to play out for Montgomery County. Exelon comes with tremendous ﬁnancial strength and strong management with proven results. Since introducing its best practices and management model to BGE, it is a much more efﬁcient, safe and reliable public utility. That’s

based upon recent utility industry peer reviews, which show BGE is performing at the highest level for reliability in its history. Another compelling fact is how Exelon has changed BGE’s culture toward supplier diversity, which includes spending real dollars with women, minority and service disabled veteran-owned businesses. As an advocate for such enabling relationships, I have witnessed ﬁrsthand the mass culture change at BGE. Prior to the acquisition, BGE did little to spend money with deserving disadvantaged companies. Sure, its leadership was composed of great minds and its board represented the Greater Baltimore region’s who’s who. But its culture was risk averse to growing supplier diversity. Its present CEO, Calvin Butler, an African-American, came to Maryland with a plan to improve BGE’s safety, customer satisfac-

tion, reliability and supplier diversity because he knows they all intertwine. Butler created a new program to improve supplier diversity, known as Focus-25, with the intention of recruiting diverse suppliers to educate them on BGE’s core values of safety, customer satisfaction and reliability. He also wants them to understand how to properly formulate bid proposals that can compete with first-tier contractors that maintain present oligopolies with most of the utilities in America, including BGE. Butler’s vision is Exelon’s vision that will extend to Pepco Holdings Inc. It’s no secret that Pepco needs to improve its reliability immediately. This is the Exelon that I have come to know. Exelon has made great strides improving reliability, customer satisfaction, utility

power safety and doing business with a segment of our population that has been discriminated upon for no other good reason but cultural hang-ups of the past. I, for one, support the acquisition of Pepco Holdings Inc. by Exelon because I have seen what it has done in Baltimore and I see a great amount of improvement coming for Montgomery County. Exelon has shown to date in the Greater Baltimore region that change is good even when it transcends from one monopoly to a much larger monopoly because it’s the only way public utilities will trade.

A large number of cab drivers showed up for a Montgomery County Council meeting about regulating rental rates and other fees for cabs. The meeting had to be moved to a larger room to accommodate the crowd, at the County Council Building on Feb. 27.

Montgomery County taxicab drivers are facing a double threat to their incomes and livelihood. On one side is the entry of Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), like Uber and Lyft, and on the other side is a proposal to lift the restrictions on the number of Passenger Vehicle Licenses (PVL) issued to taxicab and for-hire drivers. In 2002, Montgomery County was faced with a critical decision about the supply of taxicabs. Too few would create lengthy waits for cab service and sometimes prevent customers from obtaining service at all. Conversely, too many taxicabs would lead to service problems and underpaid drivers. In response, the County Council passed legislation requiring that the total number of for-hire PVLs was not to exceed

1 license for each 1,000 county residents. But with the introduction of TNCs like Uber and Lyft overﬂowing the market with unregulated and unlicensed taxicab services, the County Council is now considering removing limits on the number of PVLs issued to drivers in Montgomery County. This poses an even greater threat to taxicab driver incomes and livelihood. No rationale has yet been offered as to why the existing limitation is no longer viable, except to say that it’s inconvenient for TNCs whose goal is to glut the market and drive the taxicab companies out of business. Indeed, the vast majority of both taxicab operators and drivers believe this formula was designed to achieve a critical balance between the need

Every worker needs a time-off cushion for illness The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that each year roughly 48 million Americans get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of food-borne diseases. Unfortunately, earned sick leave policies are not the norm across our state, and particularly not in food service establishments. That is why I support Montgomery County bill 60-14, Earned Sick and Safe Leave, and the similar legislation pending in the state legislature, the Maryland Healthy Working Families Act (HB385, SB40). These bills call for all workers in the county and the state, respectively, to earn sick leave at a rate of one hour for every 30 hours worked. This would allow them to stay home and recover when illness occurs, rather than spreading germs to food or co-workers. Such legislation has been shown to lead to healthier, more productive workplaces as well as reduced stress for families. As a registered dietitian-nutritionist, my work has focused on not only

what to eat, but also on how to keep food safe to eat. This has included seven years at a D.C.-based organization that provides home-delivered meals to people living with HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life-challenging conditions. My department there monitored food safety, which involved thorough inspections of the kitchen twice a week, and regular reviews of proper hygiene procedures with both new and longtime volunteers. Both staff and volunteers knew not to work in the kitchen when they were ill, in order to prevent contamination. These practices are absolutely necessary when you are feeding people with compromised immune systems. Indeed, such rules should be in place in any food service establishment. Two factors made successful infection control more likely at that organization. First, the kitchen staff were provided with paid sick leave, and, sec-

ond, the volunteers were not under ﬁnancial pressure to come in when they were not feeling well. No one was worried about losing a day’s pay, or their job. All employees need to have that kind of security. Workers need to be able to stay home when they are ill, and keep infectious diseases out of the workplace. Everyone gets sick, so everyone should have the opportunity to earn sick days. Food-borne illness can strike anyone, sometimes with devastating results — the 3,000 deaths a year from food-borne illness are 3,000 deaths that could be prevented. While the Montgomery County Earned Sick and Safe Leave Act and Maryland Healthy Working Families Act cannot eliminate the spread of infections, they are certainly a step in the right direction toward improving public health across the state.

for sufﬁcient vehicles to meet demand, and the equally great need for drivers to earn a reasonable living. Even Uber and Lyft drivers are complaining about the oversupply of drivers and how it’s limiting their ability to earn. Let’s look at a similar effort in the city of Minneapolis. In 2006, they eliminated the cap on taxis permitted to operate within city limits. These changes were advocated to “open the market” and dramatically increase the number of licensed cabs, almost the identical argument being considered by the County Council. So have those changes measured up to their promises? Not at all. The Twin Cities ended up with a glut of taxicabs and very frustrated cab drivers. Far from an economic boon for drivers,

swamping the market with new cabs caused drivers to sit twice as long waiting for fares. The resulting decrease in income has forced drivers to hang up their keys and find other employment. This same experience has been borne out in other cities, which have poured new cabs into a market without regard to demand factors. A recent study of San Diego taxicabs showed driver income fell by 30 percent after deregulation. Ultimately, the biggest threat to drivers’ income is too many cars (both legal and illegal) on the road competing for riders, not the regulations created to protect drivers and the customers that they serve.

Students were exemplary as team wore ‘I Can’t Breathe’ shirts Lindsay Powers’s article about the Blake boys varsity basketball team wearing “I Can’t Breathe”-phrased Tshirts (“Players’ shirts spark policy,” March 18) missed some important points that I think need mentioning. My wife and I attended that game to cheer on a Paint Branch cager. In contrast to the “negative feeling” that Principal Berry mentioned, we heard no such comments. I thoroughly expected to hear some when I saw the shirts, but not even an eye batted from anyone. In fact, I emailed the principals of both schools to say “We couldn’t have been more delighted and pleased with the enthusiasm, sportsmanship and comportment of the student supporters. The atmosphere was electric and raucous, but never inappropriate or out of control. The students represented themselves and their schools

in exemplary fashion, and made it a memorable evening.” While that may not be the case at each and every contest or situation, I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Berry’s concluding comments in the story. We as adults need to stop trying to limit and curtail the opportunities for discussion, expression and improvisation by and amongst our youth. The reality is that the wired world plugs them into topics and events that don’t beneﬁt from having guidelines and prohibitions limit their ability to comprehend their meaning or, more importantly, their effect on each individual or the society at large. The school system should be loath to do just that under the guise of determining what can or can’t be worn as part of a uniform. Chris Hester, Olney

Penn Relays puts some athletes in rush to qualify

Growing old, or reaping rewards? I’ve been working at The Gazette since 2008, and through the years I’ve had the opportunity to cover hundreds of student-athletes, and — from a mostly athletic perspective — watch some of them mature and head off to college. While the vast majority come KENT ZAKOUR and go and blend ASSISTANT SPORTS together in my EDITOR mind, there are a handful who are more memorable. Some I remember for their superior on-field/court success, others are more notable due to their personalities during interviews. This spring, the first group of kids — they are young adults now — that I covered for at least a couple years in high school are set to graduate college. That will make you feel old! Or, as a few of my former teachers have told me, it feels rewarding. Over the past week, I’ve had a chance to catch up with two favorite — for their genuine personalities and thoughtful responses moreso than athletic success — high school athletes I’ve covered. John and Debbie Emerson have attended the majority of the Johns Hopkins University women’s lacrosse team’s games during the past four years to watch their daughter, 2011 Sherwood High School graduate and senior goalie KC Emerson, play. This year, they’ve had the pleasure of watching one of KC’s former high school teammates and good friends, freshman Emily Kenul, also start for the Blue Jays. “In the first opening game this year, when the announcer announced both girls in the starting lineup and said they were from Brookeville, Maryland, that was really cool because that doesn’t happen a lot,” Debbie Emerson said. “... They are doing things in college that happened at Sherwood.” Added Kenul: “It’s really nice to hear [our names], especially because we ended up in the same place. We are trying to represent where we come from.” Both Emerson and Kenul have been key contributors for the 20th-ranked 8-2 Blue Jays this spring. The 5-foot-10 Emerson has started all 10 games and holds a 5.54 goals against average with a .581 saver percentage. Kenul, an engineering major, has scored 15 goals to go along with six assists. And that’s not by accident. After graduating from Sherwood, Kenul was one of the few high school teammates Emerson kept up with. Last fall, they would meet up to shoot around outside of team workouts and they attended winter workouts together, lifting and running together. “I like to joke around that I’m the reason she’s here,” said Emerson, a Dean’s List student who has performed mission work in Uganda and is involved with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. “I’ll never forget in sophomore year of college when she called me and told me she committed. ... Lacrosse is a big credit to our friendship.” “She’s really helped me out a lot,” Kenul said. Hopkins made the NCAA tournament last year for the first time since 2007, and Emerson, who has a real estate banking job in Pittsburgh lined up after graduation, says she hopes her lacrosse career will end with another tournament berth. “There’s two months left to play,” Emerson said. “... Ultimate goal is to win a national championship, but we haven’t done that yet. The immediate goal is to try to take it game by game.” kzakour@gazette.net

From star player, to star coach

Richard Montgomery junior still plays a vital role during injury

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

When ﬁfth-year Richard Montgomery High School softball coach Mike Horton received a call last fall informing him that his star shortstop, junior Devon Goetz, had seriously injured herself during a ﬁeld hockey game, he said he thought it might be a cruel hoax. “When [her mom] first called me and said, ‘Devon hurt herself,’ I thought she was kidding,” Horton said. “Devon never gets hurt. I was like, ‘You’re lying.’ Then I

asked how serious it was and she told me she tore her [anterior cruciate ligament] and I just said, ‘Oh my gosh.’” That reaction was followed almost immediately by what was perhaps simultaneously the toughest and simplest decision he’s made as a coach, he said. “I pretty much told her parents right then that even if the doctors cleared her, I was not going to start her,” Horton said. “I nipped that in the bud early.” There was no use in the Division I recruit rushing back and risking further injury, Horton said. Doctors told Goetz to expect to be out of practice for six months and nine months for a full recovery. May 6 will be the six-

month mark. The abscence of Goetz’s remarkable range and knowhow in the middle infield could have been a devastating blow to the Rockets’ recent resurgence — last year’s 14-4 campaign was the program’s best since it was a perennial Class 4A West Region contender in the mid-2000s. But her continued involvement in another capacity — playercoach — has helped limit the fallout, Horton said. Goetz, who led the team with a .491 batting average in 2014 that included three home runs and 23 runs batted in and was 32 for 32 in stolen base attempts, separated herself a year ago as

On a blustery, below-freezing Saturday at Central High School, Wise girls track coach Gideon Tinch found a silver lining in having to compete in the Arctic conditions: it could simulate the weather in downtown Philadelphia when the Upper Marlboro school’s relay team travels to Franklin Field to compete in the Penn Relays, which are set to begin April 23. “I’m trying to get them prepared for Penn Relays,” Tinch said, motioning towards a group of Wise runners huddled together. “If Penn Relays is going to be cold, we can run it here and get the feeling.” Though it may seem a tad premature to begin preparing for an event just less than a month away, the reality of the situation is that the preparation for the event, in some cases, begins before the outdoor season even commences. If athletes are not participating in 400-meter relay, which any team can pay to compete in,

they have to hit and submit a certain qualifying time by April 12 — giving them just a few weeks of outdoor practice to get to top form. But for those running yearround, the pressure of getting to a point where they are able to compete with some of the world’s best is less intense than it would be on an athlete who began training in early March. Northwest distance runner Diego Zarate, who runs cross country, indoor track and outdoor track for the Jaguars, said that competing year-round helps control when a runner peaks, as they are always just on the cusp of that form they so desperately desire at Franklin Field. “You never want to peak too early, because then later in the season, towards states and nationals, your body will kind of be falling apart,” Zarate said. “If you do indoor, it helps a lot because you’re already at that point and you can run a qualifying time in indoor. Then, in outdoor, you can start to build yourself up again, that way you don’t peak too early. But if you just start outdoor at the beginning, you’re going to have to

Poolesville High School’s Casey Harkins practices with teammates on Friday.

Poolesville High School junior Casey Harkins picked up lacrosse in second grade and has played for school, club and recreation league teams ever since. That has helped her develop into one of the top athletes in the area and get recruited to play for the women’s team at American University. But despite that year-round commitment, Harkins ﬁnds time for other sports. In the winter she plays basketball, and in the fall she turns her

attention to another stick sport: field hockey. Harkins is the norm at Poolesville, a 1,200-student school filled with multi-sport athletes. The Falcons lacrosse players are scattered across the school’s various athletic teams, but in September they’re most likely to be found back on Bermuda grass. Harkins is one of about eight varsity lacrosse players who were part of Poolesville’s 2014 region championship field hockey team. “Both the sports just tend to attract the same type of athlete,” coach Brittany Hilton said. “It’s a lot of hand-eye coordination, a lot of running because of the way the sports are.” Harkins said that field hockey has helped with her conditioning and foot-

work, and also improved chemistry with her teammates. That’s come in handy this spring for the lacrosse team, which is coming off an 11-1-1 season. “It takes a lot of communication and team work in order to be successful,” Harkins said. “It’s not a sport that you can do everything yourself.” At Poolesville, many of the combo athletes prioritize lacrosse, Harkins said. Part of the reason for that is accessibility. Harkins, who has played for the Poolesville Athletic Association and Next Level in Bethesda, said that there are more ways to get involved with lacrosse than ﬁeld hockey. But the lacrosse ﬁrst trend isn’t the case for all Montgomery County schools.

Baseball’s quick move may trickle down to high schools BY

PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER

In an effort to speed up the pace of its games and eliminate dead time this season, Major League Baseball announced the implementation of new rules to its pace of game program in February. While some of the changes, which were phased in during spring training, involve alterations to things only professional players need to worry about — a swift and timed return to game action following commercial breaks in between innings and pitching changes — some of the changes involving the hitters could have a trickle-down effect to other levels of the sport, including high school. In a lot of cases, the changes are unwelcome. “It’s nothing wrong with [the game],” DeMatha High School coach Sean

RELAYS

Continued from Page B-1 train really hard.” For DeMatha coach Tamlin ‘Buster’ Antoine, it’s the timing of the big event in relation to the end of the season that makes being at top form in April an achievable goal for his athletes. “It all depends on how you plan for it and what you’re planning around it as a coach,” Antoine said. “For us, conference championships are only two weeks after Penn Relays. So we can pretty much plan on having our guys in Penn Relays and still be in top condition and top shape for the conference championship.” As Zarate alluded to, athletes attempting to qualify for an event at the relays can use a time achieved within the last calendar year. Zarate, who as of now will be competing in the one mile, has a slew of acceptable times from different events and seasons he can use to qualify. One of the area’s premier athletes, Clarksburg’s Alexus Pyles, has only ever competed in the event as a member of a relay team. But this year, the defending All-Gazette Indoor Athlete of the Year will be gun-

O’Connor said. “Football games last two and a half hours, baseball games last two and a half hours — if they’re well played. There’s no reason to mess with it. It’s the rules of the game. They’re doing it for TV dollars. They’re not doing it because it’s something wrong with the game.” Most of the changes were deemed necessary after MLB’s 2014 average game time reached a record-high 3 hours, 2 minutes. New MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said the changes were important in terms of providing an entertainment product in line with the society we live in. Since high school baseball is not necessarily an entertainment product the way MLB is, there’s no reason to think the rules will immediately impact high school, but over the years as the changes become normal, players with aspirations to play at the next level may be behooved to adjust sooner rather than later. “Deﬁnitely, as a player and a coach, you like a fast-paced game,” Sherwood coach Sean Davis said, adding that the only thing that slowed down his team’s

ning for an individual spot in the 400 meter hurdles. But Pyles, a year-round track athlete, has hit a bit of a road block in her training. The Coyotes senior was diagnosed with mononucleosis last week, keeping her from participating in outdoor training and complicating the ever-shortening path that lies between the present and April 23. It’s that time between the indoor season and outdoor season — a layoff that was severely shortened by the rescheduling of this year’s indoor state meet — that is often crucial to remaining in top form, Pyles said. But with her unfortunate circumstance of being sidelined for the start of the spring season, Pyles knows just how demanding her ﬁrst few weeks back on the track will have to be to stand a ﬁghting chance in Philadelphia. “Now that I’ve been off longer, it just puts a little more pressure on me because I know when I am allowed to go back, I’m going to have to work that much harder to make sure that I’m ready because the 400 hurdles is a pretty tough event,” Pyles said. “... I’m going to have to be pretty close to my top form.” agutekunst@gazette.net

COACH

Continued from Page B-1 arguably Montgomery County’s best shortstop after returning Gazette Player of the Year Nicole Stockinger at Sherwood and will surely be missed on the field. But a blend of seasoned returning players who have been there since the start of Richard Montgomery’s turnaround, including senior Allie Parrish, who has moved from her post at third base to take over at shorstop and pitcher Shannon Powell, and talented some newcomers, has helped the Rockets maintain their status a team in region title contention. Powell, who is currently batting .545, is 2-1 in the pitcher’s circle — Richard Montgomery’s only loss was a close defeat to defending Class 4A West Region finalist Magruder last week — and has not yet allowed an earned run. The return of senior center fielder Stephanie Silverberg from an injury- and illness-riddled three years has also helped shore up the Rockets’ previously shaky outfield. Silverberg, who has yet to play a full season and is even fighting through some back pain early this spring, said she knows Goetz’s frustration all too well. First-year catcher, sophomore Alexa Bowen, leads the team with a .571 batting average and Horton said Goetz

miffed, in a report by Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com, by the rule changes and even questioned the direction of the sport. “When you come out of the box, they don’t understand you’re thinking about what the [pitcher] is trying to do. I saw one pitch, I come out, I’m thinking, ‘What is this guy going to try to do to me next?,” Ortiz said. “When you force a hitter to [stay in the box], 70 percent you’re out, because you don’t have time to think. And the only time you have to think about things is that time. So, I don’t know how this baseball game is going to end up.” Batting changes may just be the beginning, though. Minor League Baseball has served as a guinea pig for new rules, and played with the batter’s box rule last season, before the majors. This year, the minor leagues will be playing with a pitch clock, something else the MLB is considering, and something that may receive even more opposition. “I know the players don’t like it,” Quince Orchard coach Jason Gasaway

— who herself previously had to step in as catcher — has played a vital role in helping the youngster adapt to her new position. “I play basketball with Devon, too, and personally I always thought she was invincible,” Parrish said. “She’s a star athlete, I thought she would never get hurt. But she’s taken on a whole new role and it’s really helped us.” Added Horton: “[Goetz] is at every practice. She helps keep scores for us. She charts pitches. She knows when to call time and go speak with the girls. When we’re running stations at practice, she’ll be over there helping the kids, the younger ones especially, whether it’s fielding stations, hitting stations, going over reps. She’s been a huge help as a player-coach. She’s deﬁnitely not a quitter. [The team] looks at her and they’re still feeding off her energy and positive attitude.” Even though it will likely be summertime before Goetz is back onthesoftballdiamondinaplayer capacity, watching the game from a more analytical standpoint should serve her quite well in her return. “IfeellikeIhavedeﬁnitelygottenanewperspectiveonthegame and how fast it can go from being 100 percent to zero percent,” Goetz said. jbeekman@gazette.net

Continued from Page B-1 Walter Johnson coach Gary Reburn said that in prior seasons — with this spring being an exception — the freshmen came onto the varsity team without any lacrosse experience. That includes Anna Rowthorn-Apel (Class of 2014), now a field hockey player at Dartmouth, who had immediate success as a top scorer on the lacrosse team, Reburn said. “I rob from field hockey and basketball. Because basketball makes the best defensive players and field hockey makes the best offense,” Reburn said. “Mix a few soccer players in there and you got a pretty good team.” Jenna Ries, founder of Champions Field House, a multi-sport training facility in Rockville, has coached field hockey and lacrosse at various Montgomery County schools. That includes the perennial powerhouse teams at Holy Cross and the 2006 field hockey state championship team at Quince Orchard. Ries said that most of the Holy Cross players were multi-sport athletes, with the majority of them playing both field hockey and lacrosse, but that Montgomery County’s

said. “They don’t want to be on the clock. There’s no time limit on the game for a reason. I wish they’d kind of leave it alone a little bit.” This is a divisive issue though, and the batter’s box rule wouldn’t have been passed without some support from the player’s association and others around the game. Speeding up the pace of pitchers has its supporters as well. More changes to the pace of game program may be inevitable on all levels of baseball, even if for different reasons. “As a former catcher, I want the game sped up,” ﬁrst-year Good Counsel coach Tim Park said. “We did a lot of stuff this winter where I made pitchers throw bullpens — they had to throw 15 pitches in under three minutes, under two and a half minutes. ... So I really want our guys to do it because one, the quicker they throw, the more the defense is into the game, the more everyone else is into the game. ... I actually think it’s been too long since they’ve been trying to do that.”

athletes have been trending toward specializing in individual sports. That’s not a good sign, she said, as the combo lacrosse-field hockey players — and other multi-sport athletes — benefit from improved conditioning, hand-eye coordination and stick skills. “I think more importantly than that, it’s really important to play two full-season sports,” Ries said. “Training in the offseason for just one sport isn’t the same.” If that’s the case, then the Falcons are in good shape. Poolesville returns most of its starting lineup after going undefeated in the 2014 regular season and falling in the playoffs to Damascus, 11-10, in triple-overtime. That includes several players — such as senior Amanda Chasin, a Campbell University lacrosse recruit — who were part of the state semifinalist field hockey team. If the lacrosse team make it that far, it’d be a first in the school’s history. “[We have to] play to the potential that I know our team has,” Chasin said, “and be able to challenge our teammates to be able to continue to get better.” egoldwein@gazette.net

Good Counsel girls lacrosse coach earns milestone victory Good Counsel High School girls lacrosse coach Michael Haight earned his 200th win on Friday, reaching the landmark with a 15-5 over Washington Catholic Athletic Conference rival Holy Cross. Haight has been varsity coach at the Olney private school since 2002. He has this year’s Falcons (6-0 through Monday) ranked 6th in the Nike/LM High School Girls’ Top 25 from March 24.

Seneca Valley has the pieces Jeremy Benson didn’t know much about the Seneca Valley High School boys lacrosse team when he was hired as coach, so he went online to check its previous records and realized immediately that it was not a lacrosse school. But then he watched some video highlights, and said he grew intrigued by what he saw. “I saw some really talented players,” Benson said. “There was some good lacrosse, but they were all over the ﬁeld

LACROSSE NOTEBOOK BY ERIC GOLDWEIN making silly mistakes.” Benson, who played for and was later an assistant at Liberty High School, is trying to get the Germantown school to cut down on those mistakes, and he’s off to a strong start. The Screaming Eagles (1-2) defeated Gaithersburg, 10-5, to earn their ﬁrst win of 2015 and second in the past three seasons. Seneca Valley went 1-11 in 2014 and 0-13 in 2013. “I’m really looking forward to the rest of this year because they deserve it. They’re out there working hard,” Benson said. “We have the pieces we need, they just got to be in the right place in the right time.

B-CC seeks balance, consistency

girls lacrosse coach Amanda Arnoult said that consistency was an issue last season. Some games, the Barons would start out strong only to let their lead slip away in the second half. In others, they’d come out ﬂat and then get back in the game after intermission, but fall short. Playing in the competitive 4A/3A South Division, that meant a 3-7 record, an early playoff exit and several close losses to top county teams. The Barons have cut down on some of that inconsistency this spring. They’re off to a 2-0 start through Monday, with dominant wins over Magruder and Einstein as they head into the tough portion of their schedule. Though they graduated 10 seniors from 2014, the Barons have a balanced roster with a mix of underclassmen and upperclassmen. That includes sophomore Katherine Vangaever, Junior Grace Rosen and junior Lexi Hopkins.

Churchill youth shines early in spring Not only is the Churchill High School softball team off to a 3-0 start in 2015 but it has scored 20 or more runs in each of its ﬁrst three games, which includes a 20-17 win over Quince Orchard on Saturday. Coach Sharon Morris said she was pleased with the way her young squad — the Bulldogs graduated six starters last spring — staved off two Cougar comebacks, from 12-0 and 20-10. So far two freshmen have led Churchill’s offensive charge. Fourteen-year-old shortstop Brittany Lew has launched two grand slams, including one on Saturday. Classmate and second baseman Erin Huang connected on two doubles Saturday. Her speed has helped her to an .800 on-base percentage. “I’m proud of [Lew], Quince Orchard has a fence and she didn’t just hit it over the fence, she hit it 10 yards over the fence, against the wind,” Morris said. “I would say [Saturday’s] win was a signature win early. We didn’t get a lot of scrimmages so we’re still working on the lineup, still putting people in position.”

Walter Johnson bounces back The Walter Johnson High School baseball team has rebounded from a rough start to the season with consecutive wins against Blake on March 25, Kennedy on Saturday, and Einstein on Monday. The wins make the Wildcats’ record 3-2 after losing their ﬁrst two games of the season to two of the county’s premier teams: undefeated Gaithersburg and Quince Orchard by a combined score of 21-0. Perhaps just as encouraging as the bounce back wins by the Wildcats was the fact that they were able to get the bats going. WJ beat Blake 15-8 and Kennedy 11-6. “We’re very young,” ﬁrst-year coach Steve Sutherland

PREP NOTEBOOK GAZETTE STAFF said. “Typically, in our inﬁeld we’ll start two freshmen and a sophomore.” He said the team’s pitching is deep and includes Ryan Manning, someone he considers one of the top pitchers in the county. “The ﬁrst two games, you never want to see Gaithersburg and QO back-to-back,” Sutherland said. “We’re hoping to go into spring break 4-2.”

— JENNIFER BEEKMAN

Churchill’s season finally begins While some teams had already played three games by Saturday, the Churchill High School baseball team was playing its first game of the season that day against Quince Orchard. Churchill lost to the Cougars 8-1 but the game was close through five innings, an encouraging sign for Bulldogs coach Scott Blackwood, he said. Not only was it Churchill’s first game of the season, but poor weather conditions prevented the Bulldogs from scrimmaging prior to the start of the season. The QO game was Churchill’s first chance to see live pitching. “It’s definitely tough to adjust when you haven’t really played anything other than an inter-squad [scrimmage]. That doesn’t really simulate too much,” Blackwood said. “Then you come out and you play an undefeated team, a very good QO team, it’s hard. You can see the rust.”

Blair softball keeps pitching and catching in the family Blazers ﬁrst-year pitcher gets to throw to sibling behind the plate n

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER

Blair High School softball’s first-year starting pitcher, Karylena Cruz, said early-season nerves are quite understandable given the daunting task she’s been presented with this spring in replacing one of Montgomery County’s top pitchers over the past two years — two-time All-Gazette first team selection Annie Pietanza is currently in her freshman season at Salisbury University. Fortunately for Cruz, however, a familiar face behind the plate — older sister Maria Cruz — has helped keep her comfortable in the pitcher’s circle. The defending Class 4A West Region champion, Blair, is currently 2-1 with its only loss being a one-run defeat to 2013 state semiﬁnalist Northwest. The younger Cruz picked up her ﬁrst shutout against perennially competitive Wootton on Thursday. “It feels like it’s just me and her out there, even

Sisters Maria Cruz (left) and Karelyna Cruz confer on the mound during Monday’s game against Poolesville. though there’s a batter between us, I look up and see her and it makes me feel bet-

ter,” Karylena said. “It’s easier to block everything out, it just feels like practice. It feels com-

fortable, even though it [might be] a tense game.” In a way, 15th-year Blair coach Louie Hoelman and Karylena agreed, the catcher position is a big-sister type role in itself. After starting as a freshman, the elder Cruz missed her sophomore season with a broken ankle. But she recovered for a breakout 2014 season, during which she surfaced as one of the county’s best defensive catchers — she is likely the only one who can throw a runner out at second base from her knees. While typically out of the spotlight, catchers are team leaders who virtually manage players — especially pitchers — through the course of a game. They see everything on the ﬁeld and the best catchers know the intricacies of the game arguably better than anyone. Everything the elder Cruz does is instinctive, her younger sister said; Maria makes smart, split-second decisions and it instills conﬁdence not only in Karylena in the circle but in the entire squad. “Honestly, just from watching her in our one game at states, four college coaches expressed interest right away,” Hoelman said. “Defensively, she’s so smooth behind the

plate. She knows how to frame pitches well. She’s one of few pitchers who can throw from her knees. She’s something really special, defensively.” A pitcher’s relationship with her catcher is vital and Blair benefits from a truly unique situation. Maria, who plans to join the Air Force after graduation, knows her sister better than anyone, Hoelman said. She knows when to call time and head to the circle for a chat and when she gets there she knows exactly what to say to Blair’s right-handed hurler and how to present it. And Karylena, who Hoelman said excels at locating her pitches, added that she is more likely to take to heart anything that comes from Maria. The elder Cruz is also one of few catchers in the county who calls pitches on her own, where knowledge of Karylena’s strengths and tendencies — thanks to years of catching her in practice — might be just as important as her ability to read batters’ patterns. While this is Karylena’s ﬁrst year as a starter, she has played a utility role on varsity since she was a freshman. When Hoelman found out one hour before the team bus left for the state semiﬁnals a

year ago that his starting third baseman was sick and unable to play, he called upon the younger Cruz. “She was one of two people who had two hits in that game,” Hoelman said. “Of course when you have a sub, the ball always finds them. She had three balls hit to her and she made all three plays perfectly.” Pietanza wrote Karylena a letter about what to expect in her first year as a starter, something Hoelman said was a sort of symbolic passing of the torch. That coupled with the support of her older sister has helped Karylena and Blair pick up from where the Blazers left off a year ago. Hoelman said he only expects the sisters’ relationship and Karylena’s confidence to continue to grow as the season progresses. “Sometimes an older sister trying to calm a younger sister down might not always work but it’s natural for a catcher to try and talk to her pitcher,” Hoelman said. “I thin their relationship is going to help us throughout the season and I think this could benefit them the rest of their lives.” jbeekman@gazette.net

Future, present bright for Walter Johnson’s girls lacrosse team n

Wildcats aided by strong freshman class BY ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER

Maggie Howie was passive in the 2012 lacrosse season, and justiﬁably so. Brand new to the sport, she was joining a perennially competitive Walter Johnson High School team. She wanted to step back, and let the already established leaders lead. “I would rather the ball be on a senior’s stick than my stick,” she

said. Threeyearslater,Howieisone of those players who she might have deferred to in her rookie season. But as a leader of a team ﬁlled with talented and experienced freshmen, the senior defender is preaching proactiveness rather than passiveness. She and her teammates want the underclassmen to take initiative, she said. In fact, after one of the mid-March scrimmages, she and Amy Mattingly and Sarah Caggiano — the three co-captains — had a meeting to remind the team that age and grade don’t matter, and that

nobody should be afraid to speak up. “Don’t wait for a senior,” Howie said. Previous Walter Johnson teams did not have this many experienced freshmen, third-year coach Gary Reburn said. There are six on the current roster, including two starters, Izzy McMullen and Sadie Keller. Those additions have helped the Wildcats (1-1) ﬁll the void of the six graduated starters, and they’re likely to play an even larger role come playoff time as the Bethesda school looks to improve on last spring’s 10-5

campaign. Getting the freshmen up to speed has been a challenge, Reburn said. While their skills are just much, if not more developed than that of the seniors, they’re not all accustomed to competing against athletes three years older. They’ve had to adjust to the faster pace and the physically stronger players. “Trying to get freshmen and seniors to gel is the key component,” Reburn said. “... It’s a process but we’re getting there.” In February, several of the players traveled to Pennsylvania

for a tournament hosted by GettysburgCollege.Thathelpedthem gain experience against high-level varsity competition, said McMullen, one of several freshmen to attend. But the transition has still been somewhat rocky, as the players are learning to execute the plays, she said. “We’re still not gelling completely together … we feel rushed a lot, but I think we’re coming along,” McMullen said. Howie, who’s joined in the defense by her twin sister Kate Howie, said that the players are catching on quickly. In the season

opener, a 6-2 loss to Springbrook, the Wildcats struggled connecting their passes in transition, but they showed signiﬁcant improvement in the following game, a 16-8 win over Blake on Thursday. “I think we’re only halfway there,” Howie said. Walter Johnson is seeking its ﬁrst region championship since 2009 and its third in the school’s history. “It’s going to be a very strong team,” Reburn said. “Not that it isn’t today.” egoldwein@gazette.net

Chekhov channeled in ‘Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike’ Silver Spring resident directs Arena Stage sendup of famed author n

KIRSTY GROFF STAFF WRITER

Arena Stage will bring 19thcentury Russian author Anton Chekhov’s aesthetic into 21st century America through the Washington, D.C., premiere of “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.” The play, written by Christopher Durang in 2012, is a sendup of some of the themes and characters present in Chekhov’s works exploring the concepts of family and middle age. Siblings Vanya and Sonia lead mundane lives together in Bucks County, Pa., until their sister returns to town with exciting news and a new beau. At the helm is director Aaron Posner of Silver Spring, who is no stranger to Chekhov’s world. Two of his plays, “Stupid [expletive] Bird” and “Life Sucks (Or the Present Ridiculous),” reimagined the writer’s works, and are what Posner suspects led Arena Stage to seek him out to direct this piece. Durang’s canon isn’t new to Posner, either — he had heard of “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” while writing “Stupid [expletive] Bird” and thought it sounded amusing. “I’m a big Christopher Durang fan, I think one of the ﬁrst things I directed in high school was ‘The Actor’s Nightmare,”

really fun world he’s created.” “I’m a Chekhov fan, have been since I was a college stu-

dent, when I was really taken with the world he creates,” added Eric Hissom, who plays Vanya. “I thought Durang did a good job channeling Chekhov in a contemporary American setting, with a good dose of Durangian zaniness.” Posner and Hissom are frequent collaborators on theatrical works, so when Posner became attached to “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike,” he thought of Hissom almost instantly thanks to his ability to handle nearly anything thrown at him. “He’s someone I’m always interested in working with,” Posner said. “He has a lot of different colors to him, and I knew I wanted someone who could play lots of different things in lots of different ways all at the same time. I wanted more colors.” In the play, Vanya is a middle-aged man who feels like he let life pass him by. He’s been unemployed for quite some time, and while he’s educated, he’s found it hard to break back into the real world. “Every five to 10 years there’s huge change because of the technological progress we make,” Hissom said. “The job market and culture changes so fast that if you step out of it for awhile, you’re really behind, and that’s where Vanya is.” Vanya is presented as a bit of an introvert, but throughout the course of the play his frustration grows until it explodes

Brewers focus in on low-in-alcohol beers

There has been a notable recent proclivity of brewers to make session beers: beers that are relatively low in alcohol so that several can be consumed at one sitting. This may be a reaction to the tendency toward higher and more extreme alcohol beers of the last decade. Drinkers can only drink a few of these extreme brews at a single sitting or ﬁnd themselves staring at the ceiling. Some of these are only brewed as specialty beers and not part of a regular lineup. There are two competing explanations for the term session beers, called various names in other cultures including table beers and worker beers. One relates to the British experience during and after World War I when pubs were only open for two sessions each day to conserve energy and grains, once at lunchtime and once in the evening. With the hours curtailed, workmen had to drink quickly, requiring reduced alcohol levels to keep the laborers sober when returning to work. The other explanation relates to the former British lifestyle of people congregating in pubs and drinking lighter beers throughout the evening. These beers were intended to be consumed for hours at a single session while allowing conversation and without making the discussion about the characteristics of the beer.

These beers are now in session BREWS BROTHERS STEVEN FRANK AND ARNOLD MELTZER writer and a one-man advocate for session beers, avers that such beers should be below 4.5 percent alcohol by volume (ABV), flavorful enough to be interesting, balanced enough to allow for multiple pints, conducive to conversation, and reasonably priced. The latter is so that consumers won’t pay the same price for low alcohol beers as for high alcohol beers. At this time there is no agreement on the upper alcohol bound for session beers. However, the Brewers Association defines a Session Beer for the Great American Beer Festival entries as a lower alcohol version of a classic beer style, balancing the style’s character with the lower alcohol content, with that content being at or below 5 percent ABV. Legendary British beer writer Michael Jackson was the first to use the actual term session beer in 1982 about a German beer and again in 1988 referencing a British beer. Many of the British beer styles, including Bitters and Milds, have low alcohol levels. Other styles that historically have low alcohol levels include Berliner Weisse, Gose, types of Stout such as a Dry Stout, and some American Pale Ales. As more and more consumers try craft beer, trading in light for something with flavor, these can be the gateway to their big-

in the form of a monologue Hissom estimates to last eight minutes — a significant time for an actor as far as memorization, but also in terms of how to present the inner turmoil alongside the outer calm. “Throughout the rest of the play, he’s making nice, trying to keep the peace, trying to be civil,” Hissom said. “But there’s a kind of cauldron bubbling inside him.” The rest of the characters also balance these deeper feelings their respective actors must reconcile with their outward faces. Whereas some plays and films present a oneor two-dimensional approach, in Posner’s opinion, “Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike” includes representations of humans in full threedimensional glory. “I don’t think we’re as simple as we’re often painted to be in movies or art,” he said. “There are times as a society we would like our people to be one way, heroes or villains, for example, and I don’t think it tends to be that simple. As we’ve been rehearsing, there’s been a lot of depth to these characters, a lot of nuance.” In portraying these characters, both as representations of figures and thematic elements explored through Chekhov’s works as well as fully-

fledged humans, Arena Stage’s cast and crew hopes to produce a show with as much depth as heart. “There’s a lack of cynicism, a sweetness that is sort of not fashionable, in a way,” said Hissom. “We like irony lately, we’re kind of cynical and jaded in some ways. This has a real snappy, comic feel. There’s a lot of wise-cracking, but ultimately it has a sweet heart.” “I’m a fan of dark and twisty art and tragedy as much as the next fellow, but one of the things theater does well is create a place to laugh and escape a little bit,” added Posner. “I find it’s an incredibly hopeful play, and I think that’s more important than celebrating or wallowing in difficulties. Pointing toward hope is always worthwhile.” kgroff@gazette.net

BEER

taste. Ratings: 8/8.5. Highway 128 (4.2 percent ABV) is a Gose-style beer produced by Anderson Valley Brewing in Boonville, Calif. Highway 128 has an intriguing bouquet of earthiness and lemon. The light tart lemon front grows to medium in the middle. The ﬁnish adds a hint of the style’s traditional salt character. In the aftertaste the salt and lemon are more prominent as the tartness fades. Ratings:8.5/8.5. Coffee Milk Stout (4.2 percent ABV) also is made by Stone Brewing. It has a beguiling nose of roast, coffee and lactose presaging a light sweet and coffee front. The middle adds a moderate roast together with a light bitterness. The roast is more apparent in the ﬁnish joined by a hint of chocolate. These all continue into the light chocolate, bitter, coffee and roast aftertaste and linger. More like a stout than a milk stout. Ratings: 7.5/7.

Continued from Page B-5 ger brewed brothers and sisters. Gold Leaf Lager (4.5 percent ABV), brewed by Devils Backbone Brewing in Lexington, Va., is a Helles beer and a multiple gold medal winner at the Great American Beer Festival. It has a sweet malt nose with a touch of citric hops. The light sweet front continues in the middle, joined by a touch of citrus. The sweet malt grows in the finish to moderate and melds in the aftertaste with melon notes. Easy to drink and very refreshing. Ratings: 7.5/8. Go To IPA (4.5 percent ABV) is made by Stone Brewing in Escondido, Calif. This flavorful IPA has a citric and pine nose. The light malt and slightly bitter hop front leads to a modest pine middle with a touch of grapefruit. The pine grows and comes to the front in the balanced finish and continues in the after-

STEPHEN ESTRADA

“Sea Paintings: a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Stephen Estrada” will be on view in the BlackRock Center for the Arts’ Kay Gallery April 1-25. The exhibit includes “Brewing Storm,” oil on canvas.

PHOTO BY LAUREN ALEXANDER

Sinbad (Christopher Wilson) is the best porter in the whole city in the Imagination Stage production, “Sinbad: The Untold Tale,” opening April 8 at Imagination Stage’s Annette M. and Theodore N. Lerner Family Theatre in Bethesda.

Fantastic voyage The quest for high adventure leads to Imagination Stage this month, and the debut of “Sinbad: The Untold Tale,” running April 8 through May 29 at the Bethesda theater. Written by Charles Way and directed by Janet Stanford, the Far East-set fable ﬁnds the titular hero, here a porter, and

his unlikely partner Ittifaq embarking on a genie-feuled quest for a magical ﬂower — the only hope for their city of Baghdad, which has fallen under an evil sorceress’ spell. Tickets begin at $10. For more information, including show times, visit imaginationstage.org.

“Sea Paintings: a solo exhibition of oil paintings by Stephen Estrada” will be on view at the BlackRock Center for the Arts’ Kay Gallery from April 1-25. A reception is scheduled from 3 to 5

Sea change p.m. April 19. Both the reception and the exhibit are free and open to the public. Currently living in Silver Spring, Estrada grew up in Southern California where he fostered a connection and

admiration for the ocean and its might. His paintings of places along America’s coastline represent the ever-changing forces of nature. For more information, visit blackrockcenter.org.

The great outdoors Rockville painter James Vissari will be the featured artist of the month throughout April at the MAA Gallery at the Westﬁeld Wheaton Mall, 11160 Veirs Mill Road. Inspired by engineering, physics, color and light, Vissari’s passion for painting outdoors yields works representing nature’s beauty and daily life experience. Vissari is a member

of MAA, the Rockville Art League and the plein air group of Silver Spring. He has painted at intriguing locations across the globe, from the Grand Canyon to the Great Pyramids. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday. For more information, visit montgomeryart.org.
