Officials want answers in Rockville hostage’s death n
Aid worker was captured by al-Qaida in 2011 BY
RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER
Family and officials had questions after the death of a Rockville aid worker kidnapped and held hostage in Pakistan for more than three years. The White House announced Thursday that Warren Weinstein, 73,
of Rockville and Italian aid worker Giovanni Lo Porto were killed in an attack on an al-Qaida compound in the border region between Afghanistan and Pakistan in January. U.S. intelligence officials said the attack was a CIA drone strike, according to The Washington Post. Weinstein is survived by his wife, Elaine, daughters Alisa Weinstein of Chicago and Jennifer Coakley of Clarksburg, a son-in-law and two grandchildren.
He was kidnapped in Lahore on Aug. 13, 2011, by al-Qaida, four days before he was scheduled to return home to Rockville. Alisa Weinstein told The Gazette in an August interview that one of the hardest parts of her father’s disappearance was the lack of answers about why he was abducted. Elaine Weinstein talked at the time about how her husband loved the people of Pakistan, as well as its food, music and culture.
“He was practically Pakistani,” she said. Warren Weinstein was working in Pakistan for J.E. Austin Associates of Arlington, Va., at the time of his kidnapping, after previously working for the U.S. Agency for International Development and other organizations. President Barack Obama said Thursday that “hundreds of hours” of surveillance had convinced officials that no civilians were in the compound before the attack was ordered.
He praised Weinstein for his service and dedication to others. “For decades, Warren lived the ideals of our country, serving in the Peace Corps and later with the United States Agency for International Development,” Obama said in a statement. “He devoted his life to people across Africa and South Asia. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather who willingly left the comforts of home to help

Committee proposes $11M boost to college School wants to increase employee compensation, benefits n
BY
LINDSAY A. POWERS STAFF WRITER
The Montgomery County Council Education Committee on Thursday recommended that the county budget include nearly $11 million more for Montgomery College. Most of that money would let the college increase employee salaries and benefits. A portion might go into the col-
lege’s reserves. On Thursday, the Education Committee recommended the full council place about $10.9 million in new county money for the college on the county’s reconciliation list. That list includes items that Montgomery County Executive Isiah Leggett did not put in his recommended budget and that the council wants to fund if it can. If the money were added to the county’s budget, it would close part of the gap between

Fire department finishes upgrade Community support praised for expansion and renovation project

TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER
Saturday marked a new chapter in the history of the Laytonsville District Volunteer Fire Department, as a newly expanded and renovated Station 17 was unveiled and dedicated.
“This building project could not have been done without the help of so many people,” Department Chief Stanley S. “Buddy” Sutton Jr. said in a news release. “Today has been a great day for the Town of Laytonsville.” The station, at 21400 Laytonsville Road, has not undergone major improvements since it was hastily constructed in 1966, after the previous one burned down. Saturday’s event featured the Gaithersburg High School band, just as the 1966
dedication did. Two of the department’s charter members — Pat Richards and Duke Johnson — also were in attendance. Richards was the fundraising chairman for the original building and Johnson was the building chairman. “It was one of my dreams that those two gentlemen were there for the dedication of our new station, and they were,” said Sutton. Sutton said he appreciates the hard work

The heart of Montgomery County’s proposed ban on pesticides would be trumped by state law, according to an opin-

ion from the Maryland attorney general’s office. Del. Kirill Reznik requested the opinion on behalf of the Montgomery County Farm Bureau, a group vehemently opposed to the county’s proposed ban. Montgomery County is considering a ban on “nonessential” pesticide use on lawns, with some exceptions, such as
for golf courses. While some provisions — including requiring the county executive to develop a list of nonessential pesticides and banning application on county property — don’t conflict with state law, the overall ban would be pre-empted by existing state law, the opinion says. The proposed pesticide ban has strong support from orga-
nizations such as Safe Grow Montgomery, but has staunch opposition from the lawn care industry and the Farm Bureau, which sees the measure as a step toward more restrictions on agriculture. Reznik (D-Dist. 39) of Germantown said he requested the attorney general’s advice on

Court custody battles can be tough on adults and even tougher on young people, which is one reason why the Montgomery County Circuit Court in Rockville recently
opened a free supervised dropoff center for children. Called Kids Spot, the new activities center for ages 2 to 12 on the first floor of the South Tower opened on April 15. “Custody issues can be stressful,” said Court Administrator Judy Rupp. “It’s a fun, safe place while [the adults] are doing business in the Circuit Court.”

City to look at early voting n
Proposal would allow two days of balloting ahead of Election Day BY
RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER
Rockville could offer early and provisional voting for November’s election, under plans proposed by the city’s Board of Supervisors of Elections. The board’s proposal would allow two days of early voting ahead of the Nov. 3 election — likely in late October to allow Montgomery County time to update its poll books with voters’ information. Early voting helps ease the challenge of voter turnout from Election Day being on a Tuesday, a work day, Lois Neuman, chairwoman of the Board of Supervisors of Elections, told the mayor and council Monday night. The 2015 election, for the first time, will be for four-year terms for mayor and all four council seats. The election is “right around the corner,” Neuman said. The board recommends that early voting be 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at City Hall on the last full weekend of October. Councilwoman Virginia Onley said she’s excited about the prospect of early voting and thinks it will be effective in the city. The board also is urging the city to adopt pro-

Students win corporate Merit scholarships Several high school seniors from Montgomery County won National Merit Scholarship awards financed by various corporations, company foundations and other business organizations. Most of the awards are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate study and provide annual stipends that range from $500 to $10,000 per year, according to a news release. Some provide a single payment of $2,500 to $5,000. The county winners, with their hometown, high school, probable career field and corporate sponsor: • Karrie M. Shi of Gaithersburg; Wootton High School of Rockville; medicine; Lockheed Martin. • Lindsay Gong of Potomac; Wootton High; international business; National Merit Mary E. Beyerle Scholarship. • Victoria H. Yu of Rockville, Wootton High; economics; Lockheed Martin. • Paula S. Kleyman of Potomac; Churchill High School of
visional voting to make sure any eligible voter can cast a ballot. Provisional voting is used when a voter’s eligibility is in question at the polls. Those voters would get paper ballots that would not be scanned. Each ballot would be reviewed by the board after the election, and counted if the voter’s eligibility is verified, according to a report submitted by the board to the mayor and council. If the mayor and council approve the recommendations, the board will develop policies and procedures to put provisional voting in place and make sure that election judges get proper training. Among other changes leading up to the 2015 election, the Board of Supervisors of Elections changed a polling place in the city’s District 7 from Ritchie Park Elementary School to the Latvian Lutheran Church on Hurley Avenue. The site has served as a polling place in the past, Neuman said. Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton suggested that the board highlight the change in the information it sends to voters to make it more prominent. Councilwoman Julie Palakovich Carr asked Neuman if the board would consider requiring landlords to provide voter registration forms to new tenants when they move in.

Taste Gastropub in the Olney Shopping Center will close its doors Friday. Owners Vic and Biani Seested, who focused the restaurant on supporting local community causes and nonprofits, have decided to sell it. The Seesteds said they purchased the restaurant in 2013 to combine high-quality cuisine with socially conscious dining. They used it as a platform to help many nonprofits and outreach programs. Their fundraisers brought many big names to Olney, from popular television actors, including Giancarlo Esposito of “Breaking Bad,” to professional athletes. “We are very proud of what we created with Taste Gastropub,” Vic Seested wrote in an email to The Gazette. “We were able to provide an unprecedented dining experience for Olney residents while at the same time creating opportunities to raise awareness for community causes such as Hearts and Homes for Youth, the Jubilee Association of Maryland, Jewish Social Services Agency and many more. Not only were we able to raise funds for these organizations, but we were able to gather individuals from the community, the White House and even celebrities together to support them.” As recently as December, Seested was optimistic about the restaurant’s future. He said his lease ran through 2016 with two, five-year options. “We are going to continue doing what we

are doing, and may actually expand to the space that is opened up next door,” he told The Gazette. “I’d like to do more to give more. The money is how you keep score in my world.” But this month, Seested said he and his wife have instead decided put all of their energy back into supporting community organizations. “We have been blessed with the opportunity to sell the restaurant space to a new owner and are looking forward to continuing our community support outside of the restaurant any way we can,” he wrote. Seested said he was approached by the owners of Sardi’s, who operate several restaurants in the area offering charcoal-broiled chicken along with entrees of lamb, pork and beef. The new owners are leasing the vacant space next to Taste Gastropub and will combine them into a larger, renovated restaurant, he said. “I have no doubt that they will create something central to the community,” Seested wrote. Seested, who grew up in the Olney area and now lives in Potomac, said he intends to carry on his philanthropic efforts. “I will continue my support on the board of these organizations as well as my new position on the board of the Easter Seals,” he wrote. “We will continue our fundraising work, outside of the restaurant as our venue of choice, by hosting events and inviting individuals to get involved alongside our efforts.” Seested encouraged members of the community to stay engaged in Taste Gastropub’s initiatives by following his website, www.vicseested.com. thogan@gazette.net

Jolly is leaving Rockville Council votes to renovate its Chamber of Commerce office building in Rockville President and CEO will step down after more than six years at helm
n
BY
RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER
Rockville’s business community will be looking for a new leader this summer, as Andrea Jolly retires as president and CEO of the Rockville Chamber of Commerce. Jolly will leave the chamber at the end of June after more than six years. She said she plans to stay active in the Rockville community. “It’s just time to have a little more free time,” she said. The chamber will conduct a search for someone to replace Jolly. Jolly said she’s proud of the chamber’s increased membership during her tenure and its relevance to businesses in the city. During her tenure, the chamber started CEO roundtables to get feedback from the business community and is implementing a small-business roundtable, she said. Her successor will have to continue to work with the city to keep Rockville business friendly, keep increasing membership and provide relevant programs for members,
Project expected to take through mid-2017 to complete n
“It’s just time to have a little more free time.” Andrea Jolly, president and CEO of the Rockville Chamber of Commerce she said. The Rockville chamber eliminated its paid executive director position in December 2007 because of financial concerns. The position was reinstituted when Jolly was hired in March 2009. Gigi Godwin, president and CEO of the Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce, said Jolly has been an asset to the entire community through her work with businesses and charities. The respective chambers are each independent, but they work together on advocacy issues and discuss business climate issues and legislation, Godwin said. Jolly has worked well with the other chambers and cares deeply about the business “ecosystem” in the county, Godwin said. Missy Loewe, president and CEO of Rockville chamber member Washington ArtWorks, said Jolly’s replacement would have “some big
footprints to fill.” Jolly was one of those people who come in and just make things happen, Loewe said. She took artistic small businesses seriously and talked regularly about their needs, she said. Jolly’s departure comes as the Rockville-based Leadership Montgomery prepares for its own transition with the coming departure of longtime leader Esther Newman. Newman said her group will start accepting applications in the next week or two, hoping to have a replacement in place before she leaves in September. Jolly has done a great job building the Rockville chamber, Newman said. Jolly said she still has several events to oversee before leaving, including an indoor miniature golf tournament on May 7, Taste of Rockville on May 23 and 24 and the Public Safety Awards on June 4. rmarshall@gazette.net

Montgomery County Council will renovate its current office building in Rockville rather than moving down the street. The council voted 8-1 Tuesday to spend about $32 million to repair its office building on Maryland Avenue, a projected expected to take through mid2017 to complete. Councilman Marc B. Elrich voted against the project. In an interview afterward, he said he’d hate to see a school project not get funding because of the cost of this one. “I really think this building needs to be fixed, but I think we’ve got to think about the list of things that need to be dealt with,” Elrich (D-At Large) of Takoma Park said. “With uncertain funding from the state for schools and no certainty of how this is going to play out over the next few years, I’m not sure this should be a priority.” Since 2008, the council has mulled plans to move or fix its existing space, which is plagued by an aging HVAC system and dilapidated facilities. Deputy Council Administrator Glenn Orlin said at a committee meeting on April 22 that before the recession of 2007 to 2009, the council considered building a new facility across the street, next to the Executive Office Building. The estimated

price tag was $125 million. The council has since decided to explore other options. The Government Operations and Fiscal Police Committee unanimously narrowed those options to one — renovation. The committee also considered moving to the former gray and red-brick courthouses in downtown Rockville. “This is one of those projects that is really important,” Councilwoman Nancy Navarro, chairwoman of the Government Operations and Fiscal Policy Committee said during committee discussion.

moving and about five small additions the committee tacked onto the project, which the council approved, including: • creating a furnished thirdfloor lobby • repainting the second- and third-floor halls • removing wallpaper and painting the cafeteria • replacing signs throughout the building • improving signs directing people from the parking garage. Moving to the old courthouses would cost the county several million dollars more, with estimates ranging up to $53.6 million. Councilman Sidney A. Katz said in an interview that the current building’s HVAC system is “horrible,” something he experienced firsthand after the system leaked water into his office earlier this year. “I, too, agree this building is where we need to be and we need to be fixing it as quickly as possible,” Katz (D-Dist. 3) of Gaithersburg said. The council faced harsh criticism from education leaders for even considering spending capital funds on county offices when many schools are overcrowded. But Councilman Hans Riemer said during the committee discussion that while much of the county’s capital spending goes to schools, it also spends money on other county projects. The council office building houses council members and their staff, but both Riemer (DAt Large) of Takoma Park and Navarro (D-Dist. 4) of Silver Spring spoke of how much the public also uses the building. If the council continues to delay renovations, the building will deteriorate more, Navarro said. Orlin said the project is expected to cost about $32 million, but the county should only have to issue bonds for about $23 million. To cover the remainder of the project’s cost, the council voted to pull roughly $3 million from the Montgomery County Government Complex project. The council will use funds that had been set aside to renovate the building and will use about $6 million in energy savings, Orlin said. kalexander@gazette.net

City might pass anti-trafficking bill County’s measure requires licensing of ‘bodyworks’ businesses n
BY
RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER
Rockville likely will adopt rules similar to a Montgomery County law requiring the licensing of “bodyworks” businesses to prevent human trafficking. Mayor Bridget Donnell Newton said she “absolutely” would like the city to do something similar to the law the County Council passed on April 14. That measure requires establishments providing reflexology, acupressure or similar services to get licenses from the county, in an effort to cut down on human trafficking. Rockville needs to work with the county to make sure they don’t leave the city open for businesses trying to avoid the county’s rules, Newton said. The County Council unanimously passed the bill, which County Executive Isiah Leggett (D) signed on April 22. It will take effect July 22. A number of businesses market themselves as providing reflexology or other types of services known as bodyworks, often in small shopping centers around the county, said County Councilman Marc Elrich (DAt Large) of Takoma Park, the chairman of the council’s Public Safety Committee. Between 2010 and 2015, county police have closed 61 bodyworks shops that acted as fronts for crimes including human trafficking, fraud and prostitution. Rockville police have worked with the county police
on some issues with bodyworks shops in the city, Police Chief Terry Treschuk said on April 20. Businesses serving as fronts for human trafficking or other crimes have to be watched no matter where they are in the county, he said. Treschuk said the bill will

help make shops more transparent in the services they offer. Councilman Tom Moore said the city will opt in to the county law fairly easily, after figuring out issues such as who will do inspections to make sure businesses comply with
the rules. The issue is a problem in Rockville, which doesn’t want to be a haven for bodyworks businesses coming into the city from other parts of the county, he said. rmarshall@gazette.net

Laytonsville Parade will again ride through town
Those wonderful toys
Town thrilled to have beloved tradition return
n
BY
TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER
After a year’s hiatus, the annual Laytonsville Parade will be held May 16. The parade is sponsored by the town of Laytonsville, the Laytonsville Lions Club, the Laytonsville Woman’s Club, the Laytonsville Historical Center, the Laytonsville Elementary School PTA and the Laytonsville District Volunteer Fire Department. The community tradition began in the early 1990s to help support the elementary school’s Spring Festival. Last year, due to a logistics problem, the parade wasn’t held, leaving some townspeople disheartened. “Last year we did not have all of the pieces in place to hold the parade,” Mayor Dan Prats said. “It was a great disappointment to all.” Charlie Kearse of the Laytonsville Lions Club vowed there would be a parade this year, and he is chairing the parade committee, joined by Town Clerk Charlene Dillingham. “These two folks are essential to the whole event and I can’t thank them enough, but I also have to give my heartfelt thanks to all of those volunteers, groups and businesses who are digging deep to bring this event together,” Prats said. Prats said he and town residents are overjoyed to have the parade return. “The parade brings the whole Laytonsville community together from planning, where all of the area groups are involved, to enjoying an event

Other entries include the Maryland State Police mounted color guard, school units, Scout troops, community groups and historic cars. “I cannot wait to walk in the parade, down Laytonsville’s ‘Main Street’ to the newly renovated and expanded fire department so I can watch the presentations, followed by enjoying the fun run and Spring Festival at Laytonsville
Elementary with my wife and daughter,” Prats said. “It’s truly a great family day for Laytonsville and all in the greater Laytonsville community.” Committee member Carrie Bohrer agreed. “I have enjoyed having my coffee and sitting along the parade route, not only to watch the parade, but also the Laytonsville Elementary Fun Run, and my kids haven’t been at Laytonsville for years,” Bohrer said. Those wishing to participate in or sponsor the parade may contact Bohrer at carrieb@ newsomseed.com. The mile-long parade route begins at the intersection of Md. 108 and Brink Road at 11:30 a.m. and will continue down Md. 108, concluding at Stadler’s Nursery at Maple Knoll Drive. thogan@gazette.net

BY
RYAN MARSHALL STAFF WRITER
Rockville will hold events throughout May to promote Bike Month, ranging from
safety checks to rides and award ceremonies. As spring comes, people are getting outside more, said Kevin Belanger, bicycle and pedestrian coordinator for the city. The city is using the events to remind drivers to watch out for bicyclists and to encourage people to use their bikes for both recreation and to get around, he said. The city also has a program through which businesses can request that the city install bicycle racks at or near their property, Belanger said. More information on the program is available at www. rockvillemd.gov/bicycling. Events for Bike Month will take place around the city throughout May, including: • Tour de Cookie: 9 a.m. Saturday, Johns Hopkins University Montgomery County Campus, 9601 Medical Center Drive. A fun ride between 10 cookie stands that benefits the Tree House Child Assessment Center of Montgomery County. Registration is at www. tourdecookie.com • Bike Month Kickoff Ride: 10 a.m. Sunday at Rockville City Hall, 111 Maryland Ave. A six- to eight-mile ride around the city to officially

Number of homeless rises in county But advocates encouraged by decline in ‘chronically homeless’
n
BY
KEVIN JAMES SHAY STAFF WRITER
Social workers, government employees, volunteers and others counted more homeless people in Montgomery County than a year ago. Still, advocates cited some encouraging signs, such as a decline in the “chronically homeless.” The “Point in Time” survey, conducted in January, showed about 1,100 homeless people in the county, according to a press release Friday from nonprofit Interfaith Works. That was up 23 percent from last year. Interfaith Works is a Rockvillebased nonprofit agency and coalition of churches and congregations that provide shelter, clothing, food and other services for the poor and homeless. The county’s Department of Health and Human Services and nonprofit Montgomery County Coalition for the Homeless were among those involved in the survey.
Several sites participating in dropoff of prescriptions Unwanted medicine will be collected on Saturday
The overall increase — attributed largely to a rise in the number of families experiencing homelessness to 159 from 91 in 2014 — is cause for concern, Interfaith Works CEO Shane Rock said in a statement. But he was encouraged by seeing the chronically homeless — individuals or families without permanent housing for at least a year or with at least four instances of homelessness in the previous three years — decrease 10.5 percent. The unsheltered chronically homeless declined 48.4 percent. “We are making good progress in addressing the needs of the most vulnerable in our area,” Rock said. “These results suggest that intense, targeted programs aimed at helping those in need move from the temporary shelter environment or the outdoors into more permanent situations are yielding results.” An Interfaith homes program targeting the chronically homeless has had success in moving them into stable housing, he said. Interfaith Works has services in Silver Spring, including the Community Vision

Anyone with outdated or unwanted prescription drugs is invited to safely get rid of them at no cost at various locations around the county on Saturday. State, county and municipal police officers will be stationed in the parking lots or lobbies at 10 drop-off locations from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to a county Police Department release. “It helps prevent the problem of prescription drug abuse,” said Rebecca Innocenti, a public information officer with the department. “A lot of people also don’t know how to safely dispose of them,” she said. “This is an easy way to do it, and we can take care of it for you.” The event is part of an ongoing national campaign to safely dispose of prescription drugs, which are subject to thefts and abuse, as well as accidental poisonings and overdoses. Studies show that a majority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from home medicine cabinets, according to the release. Officers will only accept prescription drugs and over-thecounter medications. If possible, prescription labels should be removed or personal information should be blacked out. Officers will not be accepting liquids, illicit drugs, needles, sharps or syringes. All collected prescription drugs will be incinerated by law enforcement agencies according to state and local regulations. The Maryland State Police Rockville barrack at 7915 Montrose Road is participating. The city of Rockville will host a similar drug take-back day with the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office on May 30 in the lobby of the Rockville City Police Station at 2 W. Montgomery Ave. Some drugs can seep through septic systems and treatment plants to contaminate groundwater and waterways, affecting fish and other aquatic life, according to the Maryland Department of the Environment. Prescription drugs can be thrown into household trash, but county officials advise putting the drugs into sealed bags or closed containers to lower the risk of being eaten by pets or other animals. Pills or tablets can be mixed with an unpalatable substance such as coffee grounds or kitty litter, and liquids can be mixed with kitty litter or sawdust, according to the release. The mixture can be sealed in a plastic bag or put in a container with a lid to prevent leakage. Used vials and bottles, with labels removed, can be recycled by the county.

program, which provides an emergency seasonal shelter, as well as meals, case management and other services. The survey is used by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, local governments and nonprofits to help determine how much public and private funding communities obtain to work against homelessness. Last year’s Montgomery total declined by 11 percent from 2013. The homeless in Washington, D.C., rose by 13 percent, to almost 8,000 last year, from 2013. The count includes people living outdoors and in shelters and hotels. A report from the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments with results from other counties and Washington, D.C., is due later this spring. In March, political leaders of Montgomery County, Prince George’s County and Washington, D.C., signed an agreement establishing a regional council to work toward ending homelessness in the area.

Baker finds sweet success in contest to honor Olney teen Prize-winning cookie raises $9,325 for Children’s Hospital
n

“The community was rallying in support of the Fritschi family and I thought entering the contest in support of Kyle’s Army was a special way for me to show that I cared.”
TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER
As Kyle Fritschi of Olney battles against stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma, he and his family continue to be touched by gestures of kindness by family, friends, and even total strangers. A donation of $9,325 was recently made to the oncology department of Children’s National Medical Center in Kyle’s honor, all raised from a few batches of cookies. Kyle, 14, was diagnosed last fall and his cancer is currently in remission. “I am feeling stronger every day,” said Kyle, a freshman at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney. In January, a family friend, Christina Worrell of Brookeville, told Kyle’s mother, Helene Fritschi, that she had entered a baking contest sponsored by Appliance Builders Wholesalers. “I casually told her that I thought that was really cool and I wished her luck,” Fritschi said. “It wasn’t until she said, ‘I’d like to do this for Kyle and for the oncology unit at Children’s Hospital’ that it took my breath away and the tears rolled down my cheeks. Honestly, she didn’t even have to win the competition because in my eyes, she had already won for her thoughtfulness and kindheartedness.” It’s the second year the company has sponsored the contest, said Kelly Tinsay, manager of its Silver Spring location. The business, which sells appliances and has a kitchen-planning showroom with multiple working kitchen displays, decided to hold a baking challenge as a way to support local charities. The first contest, held last year, raised more than $5,000 for

Kyle Fritschi, 14, and Christina Worrell celebrate her team’s victory in a baking contest sponsored by Appliance Builders Wholesalers in Silver Spring. the Claudia Mayer/Tina Broccolino Cancer Resource Center at Howard County General Hospital. To recruit contestants, the company promoted the event through an email to its clients and contacts. Worrell learned of the contest through her father, who owns a construction company. “He told me about it and then my family encouraged me to enter the contest,” she said. “I was undecided on a charity to pursue when Kyle’s diagnosis came in. The community was
rallying in support of the Fritschi family and I thought entering the contest in support of Kyle’s Army was a special way for me to show that I cared.” Baking has been a hobby for Worrell since she was a girl. She has been baking cookies, cakes and treats for friends and family for a few years now. The challenge for each of the 14 teams of four was to bake 60 cookies in 90 minutes and to present a plate of three cookies to the judges. The proceeds, from entry fees, would be donated to the charity of the win-
ning team’s choice. The goal was to raise $5,000. Worrell worked diligently to come up with the perfect plan. She recruited three friends to assist her: Shannon Dickerson to measure, Toni Baron to mix and Cory Baron to roll. Worrell handled piping. “My friends and family encouraged me to enter my vanilla sugar cookie recipe in the contest,” Worrell said. “It was the design that had me stumped. I wanted to enter the perfect cookie that would win the challenge for Kyle’s Army and Children’s Hospital. She said her team was determined to pull off a win for Kyle. “He’s a tough cookie, and a cookie contest seemed to be just what the doctor ordered,” Worrell said. “I think it helped everyone focus on something uplifting and positive.” Ultimately, the team decided on cookies featuring designs of a washing machine, a stand mixer and an egg over easy served in a frying pan. The teams worked in highend kitchens, in front of banners announcing their charity and their creative names, which included Worrell’s Bake My Day, plus You Ain’t Seen Muffin Yet, Fire and Icing, and Batter Up. When time was up, each team presented its cookies and said a few words about its charity. “There were so many worthy charities. … Honestly, I would
have been happy if any of them had won,” Fritschi said. The judges sampled the cookies, cleansing their palates with milk. When Bake My Day’s cookie was presented, Kyle was invited to join the bakers in front of the judges’ table. The master of ceremonies introduced Kyle and explained that he had chemotherapy that morning, but was there to support Bake My Day. Kyle smiled and nodded, but the judges and crowd didn’t know what his mother knew. “They didn’t know that Kyle had a very difficult day,” she said. “They didn’t know that he was incredibly nauseous, that he was extremely fatigued or that he was in a lot of pain. He should have been home in bed, but he said he wanted to go to the competition for ‘just for a little while.’” The judges announced a tie for first place between Bake My Day and the team from Case Design. “It was seriously one of the happiest moments of my life,” Fritschi said. “The atmosphere of the room was so warm and comforting. I felt like I was being hugged by every person in the room.” The Case Design team must have experienced the same feeling, because it said would donate half its winnings to Kyle and Children’s National Hospital.
From that point, the excitement and support for Kyle snowballed. Boxes of cookies were auctioned for as much as $1,000. The winner of a 50-50 raffle donated his winnings. The owner of Appliance Builders Wholesalers offered to match all the bids. When the auctioneer asked if anyone would like to donate $20, a huge lined formed, and the donors all agreed to instead donate $25. Kyle was touched the support. “I felt really honored that Ms. Worrell would try to win the contest for me and Children’s Hospital,” he said. “There was a lot of kindness in the room that night.” Tinsay agreed that the support for Kyle was amazing. “It filled everyone’s sense of purpose,” she said. “Kyle and his group gave us a lot more than we gave him.” Kyle decided that half the winnings will go toward leukemia and lymphoma research, and the other half will be used to purchase iPads, video games and movies for use by teens undergoing treatment. “Chemo is tough and it makes you feel really tired and sick so I wanted to give the other kids at Children’s stuff that worked for me and helped me get through the rough days,” he said. Fritschi said she wasn’t sure about what went into all the cookies, but she knows what came out of the event. “I think anyone that was at the event now knows that if you take a dash of decency, a sprinkle of strength, a tablespoon of thoughtfulness, a cup of compassion, gallons of generosity and bake it with love, you have the recipe for success and you can make my son, my tough cookie, feel like he won a million dollars,” she said. thogan@gazette.net

St. Andrew’s wins $250,000 grant
St. Andrew’s Episcopal School of Potomac and its Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning won a $250,000 E.E. Ford Educational Leadership Grant. The center will use the grant to launch an annual weeklong Science of Teaching and School Leadership Academy to train hundreds of public and independent school educators in mind, brain and education science, according to a news release from the school. The center will work with faculty from Johns Hopkins and Harvard universities to design and present the academy. St. Andrew’s plans to raise $350,000 from other foundations and individuals to match the Ford grant. The school won Ford grants for professional development in 1986, faculty laptops in 1999 and service learning in 2005. The school plans to hold the first academy in its new student center in summer 2017.

Rockville recognizes environmental efforts Rockville’s mayor, City Council and Environment Commission last week honored a community member and a local business with Environmental Excellence Awards, recognizing their contributions to the city’s environmental health and sustainability.

Farquhar to host groundbreaking ceremony n
$41.8M facility expected to open in 2016 BY
TERRI HOGAN STAFF WRITER
The Olney community is invited to a long-awaited ceremonial groundbreaking for the new William H. Farquhar Middle School at 4 p.m. Friday . Attendees are asked to park at the existing school at 16915 Batchellors Forest Road. They are invited to stay for a jazz concert and refreshments at the existing school following the ceremony. “The Farquhar community has been looking forward to this event for a long while,” said PTA President Chelsea Curtis. “It will be a momentous event filled with memories from both past and current members of the community.” Scheduled speakers include Farquhar Middle School Principal Joel Beidleman; Greater Olney Civic Association Executive Vice President Greg Intoccia; Douglas B. Farquhar, greatgreat-grandson of William H. Farquhar; and Troy Kimmel, the Farquhar PTA and Future Farquhar Community Coalition chairman. The groundbreaking marks the end of a long road for the

staff, parents and students. Farquhar was built in 1968, and except for the addition of a gymnasium, has not been modernized. After decades of lobbying from the community and numerous setbacks due to budgetary woes, construction began in February on a new school. The $41.8 million school is being built on the adjacent property, acquired in an unusual land swap between the school system and the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commission. Initial plans would have sent students to the Tilden Holding Center in Bethesda, while the school was razed and rebuilt on the existing site.

The northern parcel was designated as Rural Open Space, as part of the approval for a nearby housing development, and is recommended for use as a local park in the 2005 Olney Master Plan. Students will stay in the existing school while the new school is built on the open space. After the new school opens in August 2016, the existing building will be razed and the

VIRGINIA TERHUNE STAFF WRITER
A Waldorf man has been charged with sexually assaulting a 20-year-old woman in Rockville in February. Warren Matthew Giddings, 23, of 11900 block of Castle Pines Way was arrested on March 12, according to online court records. The victim was described by police as a vulnerable adult with cognitive learning disabilities, according to a police department news release. Giddings and the victim met through an online dating site and agreed to meet at her residence, where police said he assaulted her before leaving with her tablet

Members of Maryland’s congressional delegation expressed their condolences to Weinstein’s family and called for answers. “Moving forward, I have many questions about how this tragedy occurred, and I urge a comprehensive U.S. Government review of the case as soon as possible,” Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski (D) of Baltimore said in a statement. Sen. Benjamin L. Cardin (D) of Pikesville said in a statement that he has received a preliminary briefing from CIA Director John O.

On Thursday, he offered condolences to Weinstein’s family and called for an investigation into his death. “Today’s news is a personal tragedy for Warren’s family but also a sobering national security and government failure,” Delaney said in a statement. After Weinstein’s death, Delaney called for the government to create a hostage czar, who would serve on the National Security Council and lead efforts to find and recover hostages taken overseas. Weinstein’s wife issued a statement Thursday asking people to respect the family’s privacy as they mourned. She thanked Delaney, Mikulski and Cardin for their work in trying to bring her husband home, and said her family looks forward to the results of an investigation. “Warren spent his entire life working to benefit people across the globe and loved the work that he did to make people’s lives better,” her statement said. rmarshall@gazette.net

Continued from Page A-1 that members put into the project, noting that the additional space will provide better accommodations. Much has changed since the department began in 1952. Town residents and community leaders purchased Woodmen’s Hall for their first station, at Laytonsville Road and Howard Street. They, they bought “Minnie,” a 1930 Brockway pumper, from the Hyattstown Volunteer Fire Department for $100. Tragedy struck in 1965 when the station and all of its contents burned in a fire. Everything was destroyed except for “Minnie,” which was stored in a member’s barn. “Minnie” still graces the department today, a symbol of the department’s history and dedication to the community. It is prominently displayed in a new room, visible from Laytonsville Road. “The membership is especially proud of this room, which holds much of the fire department’s memorabilia,” said Sutton. Following the fire, the community came together to fund and build the new station, which opened in 1966. Although the community’s population has expanded more than tenfold since then and apparatus has changed significantly, the facility far exceeded its lifespan and did not meet community or national standards. Bunk beds were crammed into the sleeping quarters, personal storage space was limited, locker rooms lacked privacy, exercise equipment was in the dining area,

Improvements include individual sleeping quarters, a physical fitness training room, a kitchen with dining area, a wind-down room and meeting space. “We have improved our quality of living through state-of-the-art facilities,” Sutton said. “We never complained about what we had before, but we are very appreciative and thankful for what we have now.”
students could see significant tuition jumps next year to help pay for increases to employee compensation and benefits. The college’s Board of Trustees, however, voted Monday to follow the smaller per-credithour tuition increases the college initially proposed: $3 for students living in the county, $6 for students living elsewhere in Maryland, and $9 for students living outside the state. For 2014-15, county students paid $115 a credit hour, in-state students paid $235 and out-ofstate students paid $323, according to the college’s website. In its fiscal 2016 operating budget request, the college asked the county to add $15 million of new county money to the school’s next “current fund,” which is the majority of its operating budget. The college planned to put about $12 million of that amount toward employee compensation and benefit increases. Another roughly $3 million was slated for initiatives and programs. Leggett recommended a $3
The department’s president, Gregory Albrecht, said the $1.8 million project was possible because of support from the community. The department hosted many spaghetti dinners, breakfasts, birthday parties, and annual family portrait fundraisers. The project got a boost in the form of a $150,000 state bond bill, secured by the District 14 delegation in 2013. “Without donations from the community, this would not have been possible,” he said. “This truly is a station that the whole community should be proud of.” thogan@gazette.net
million increase in county funding for the current fund. The current fund pays for operations, student services, instruction and other things, according to a report from the college president. Leggett also recommended using nearly all of the college’s reserves to help fund its next operating budget. The school had proposed using $5.4 million from its reserves. Leggett’s plan would use about $9.4 million. The Education Committee’s recommendation would break up the $10.9 million of added county funding into four pieces: three pieces of $3 million each and one piece of $1.9 million would be placed on the reconciliation list. The council then could decide to fund one or more of the pieces. If the county adds the $10.9 million in its budget, the college could cover all of its planned compensation and benefits increases. Whether or not some of the money would go into the school’s reserves hasn’t been determined. The committee recom-
mended that the college use about $1.1 million more than the college had planned to use from its fund balance. The committee did not recommend including money for the college’s initiative and program requests on the reconciliation list. Montgomery College President DeRionne P. Pollard told committee members before their decision that the college needs to protect its staff, stay affordable for students, and keep financial reserves at a certain level. The college has three sources of revenue to pull from: student tuition, the county and the state, which directed about $40 million to the college for fiscal 2016. Pollard said Thursday after the meeting that the state contribution for next year is set and she didn’t see the Board of Trustees raising tuition more than the college originally planned.

BUSINESS Sodexo putting energy use information at Asbury’s fingertips BY
SAMANTHA SCHMIEDER STAFF WRITER
At Gaithersburg’s Asbury Methodist Village, the continuing care retirement community in Gaithersburg, residents can now see firsthand the extent of the energy consumption on the campus. In order to work towards reducing use and becoming more energy efficient, an interactive touchscreen is being set up by Sodexo, the “quality of life services” company headquartered in Gaithersburg. Asbury owns and operates several continuing care retirement communities around the country, including Asbury Methodist Village. Randy Michael, the senior director of energy management services at Sodexo North America, explained that Sodexo has been providing services to Asbury for many years. He explained that Sodexo has an employee on site at every location that they provide their services to, which range from food services and soft services such as groundskeeping and reception to hard services such as energy efficiency and HVAC system management. Now residents of Asbury can use

To bolster its green economy, Montgomery County has broadened the standards for its Green Business Certification Program to include business sectors previously ineligible, including restaurants, cleaning companies, hotels and homebased businesses. The program will continue to certify businesses using applications developed by the Department of Environmental Protection for office-based and landscaping companies, but will broaden the certification standards available to businesses, according to a county news release. At a recent reception, 26 local businesses were honored under the newly expanded program that now also recognizes businesses certified through third-party certification pro-
energy-centered events on the campus and read tips on how to reduce energy use. “Unless you tell people how much they’re using and what the impact is of their actions, they don’t know what the impact is and they’re a lot less interested,” Michael said. “The touch screen helps you see ‘this month we used this and last month we used this.’ It creates an interest, feedback on the results of
their actions and some competition.” Michael said that it’s one thing to put in more efficient equipment in order to become more sustainable, but it’s another to actually change the habits that cause energy waste in the first place. “If you don’t work on the part of the equation where the amount of energy you need is reduced, then all you end up doing is perpetuating waste,” Michael said. “You end up wasting energy more efficiently.” Kenneth Rogers, a resident at Asbury who has history as part of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, was chosen by Sodexo and Asbury to hold on to the touchscreen for a week to run through everything and get the scope of how it works. Though Rogers says he’s unsure whether this will inspire residents to lessen their energy consumption, he said it’s definitely a way to put the idea into their minds. “This is a way of stimulating and reinforcing interest in a way that relates to what we do right here. People will look at it and find it attractive and maybe a little challenging, maybe talk to their neighbors about it. It puts them in touch with data about the institution,” Rogers said.

She said all residents are able to ask questions about energy consumption and bills, but this will put it at their fingertips. “It’s starting at Asbury Methodist Village, but there will be kiosks located on all of our campuses,” Aber said. Aber explained that all residents are involved with the campus and most residents are highly educated retirees who stop working, take it easy for a little while and then want to be involved with something again. She said the green initiatives are especially popular. “There’s a resident group here called the Greenability Team made up of residents and staff that works to make the place greener,” Rogers, who is a Greenability member, said. He explained that taking care of the environment is something important to him and should be important to others. “Well, I think it’s quite frankly a moral responsibility, not just here.

KIDS
PESTICIDE
“The children are out of earshot of the testimony going on in the courtrooms,” Rupp said. The program, modeled on one in Prince George’s County Circuit Court in Upper Marlboro, also helps the judges maintain quiet courtrooms. “It slows things down if there are distractions,” said Helma Irving, program manager for Family Services’ Early Childhood Education and Training program. The first year startup costs for the county-funded program are $200,000, including a year-long contract with Family Services for $146,000 to staff the center. A nonprofit based in Gaithersburg, Family Services is associated with the Sheppard Pratt Health System. Working with the children in the courthouse are child care specialists Marlene Clark, who has experience with special needs children, and Vivian Mendoza, who speaks both English and Spanish. As of Monday, about 11 families had used the center, and most of the young visitors were 3 to 5 years old, Clark said. The Kids Spot center is open from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 1:15 to 5 p.m. Monday through
whether existing state law already regulated pesticides after members of the Farm Bureau approached him. Farm Bureau President Lonnie Luther said his organization views the proposed ban as “one of the worst bills anyone could conjure up.” State and federal law regulate pesticides, leaving no need for the County Council to do so, Luther said. The Attorney General’s Office came to a similar conclusion. In an April 1 opinion, Assistant Attorney General Kathryn M. Rowe said it was her view that “a court would conclude that this provision [barring the application of nonessential pesticides to a lawn, with certain exceptions] would interfere with the purposes of these State provisions, as well as the goal of achieving uniformity.” In other words, state law already regulates pesticides, so the local ban would be pre-empted, if challenged in court. Safe Grow Montgomery had not seen the opinion until Friday, and said in a statement Monday that it does not agree with the attorney general’s office. “The AG opinion overlooks important factors used to analyze whether the General Assembly intended to exclusively occupy a field — in this case, the field of pesticides,” the statement read. “The AG opinion mischaracterizes text from the Maryland pesticide law as signifying intent to prevent local legislation, and to promote uniformity.” In its statement, Safe Grow Montgomery wrote that “it is misleading and incorrect to take

Friday.

Obituary Marie Anita Babyak, 76, of Damascus, Maryland passed away Thursday, April 23, 2015. She is survived by her beloved husband John, two daughters, Susan and Julie Ann Collier. She is survived by one granddaughter, Harper Rose who arrived very late in Marie’s life but early enough to be totally loved. Marie was born in Yonkers, New York, and graduated from High School in 1958. She worked for eleven years at Otis Elevator Company. Marie was an active member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Damascus. She was also an occasional parishioner at St. Gregory’s Byzantine Catholic Church in Beltsville. Besides doing financial work for the church Marie was also a member of the Catholic Daughters. She was an active member of the YWomen, the Damascus Garden Club, a quilting club and stamping club. She and her husband were active in square dancing in the Washington area and she and her husband were members of the Board of the Mid-Atlantic Challenge Association. Marie was one of the easiest people to know. It was not unusual for her to go into Safeway for milk and come out an hour later having spent that time talking to old friends that she had never met before. She loved animals and they knew it and couldn’t get to her fast enough when they saw her. She was great with people. It didn’t make any difference if they were old, crippled, black, white, gay or whatever. They were all people and she truly treated them all alike. And people know it and she was truly loved by all. But kids were her great joy. She had a way of making them comfortable and they enjoyed being with her. She was a room-mother at Woodfield Elementary School for eight years, at Baker Jr. High School for six years and Damascus High School for six years. She often meets former students, in their forties, who remember playing games with her at school. The family will receive friends 3-8 p.m. Wednesday, April 29, at St. Paul’s Catholic Church, 9240 Damascus Road, Damascus, Maryland, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated, Thursday, April 30 at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be in Yonkers, New York. Online condolences may be shared with the family at www.molesworthwilliams.com
off.
The check-in process can take five to 10 minutes, Irving said. There are security cameras in the center, as well as two rooms next door where mothers can breast feed or change diapers in private. The bright and colorful center is equipped with dolls, books, Lego bricks, table games, board games such as Sorry and Quoridor, and dozens of recently donated Furby toys. One of the children’s — and employees’ — favorite activities is playing with a train set made of wooden pieces that can be assembled in five different ways. “It’s the Happy Land,” Mendoza said about all the activity options. “No child has cried — it’s a miracle,” she laughed. Children may also bring hand-held computers with them, but staff will check that what they’re watching is appro-
priate for other children in the center to see. The center has big windows that let in lots of light and views of passing clouds, along with a look down at the Courthouse Plaza below. The center also has two wall-mounted televisions, but the children visiting so far have rarely watched it, Clark said. In fact, many of the young visitors are having such fun playing that they don’t want to go home, said Clark and Mendoza. Prepared for any eventuality, the center provides a coloring book and crayons to make the transition a little easier. “It’s like a goody bag,” Rupp said.

statutory language out of context to imply statutory intent.” Council President George L. Leventhal, the bill’s author, said he does not see the opinion standing in the way of passage. “Our legal staff does not think that we’re pre-empted,” he said. Proponents of the measure argue that it would protect county residents and pets from unnecessary exposure to chemicals that many believe to be toxic. Leventhal (D-At Large) of Takoma Park said the attorney general opinion is not the first time pre-emption has come up, and added that “as the letter states, it would only arise in the event of a lawsuit.” “And, my goodness, virtually every bill we pass is potentially subject to a lawsuit,” he said. “So, as I say, I don’t think there’s anything in this letter that will inhibit the council [from] moving forward on pesticides.” However, Luther said his organization is poised, with backing from state and national farm bureaus, to file a lawsuit should the bill pass. “We like to farm. That’s our life’s passion,” Luther said. “And, really, lawn care is part of agriculture. So we feel like this bill steps on our toes.” The way the bill is worded, farmers fear that, while they are exempt under the bill, agriculture “would be next,” and the bill sets the framework for putting farmers out of business, Luther said. Luther owns L&M Farm in Damascus with his wife. They harvest about 500 acres of hay and raise 100 sheep, 200 Angus beef cattle and 400 “fancy” chickens, he said. The farm also has a greenhouse and garden.

Embracing ethics
As journalists, we’re used to asking others who, what, when, where and why as we gather information and report it. It’s good for journalists to sometimes turn the tables on ourselves, and explain the “why” of journalism decision-making. We’re referring to ethics — a moral compass that guides our attempts to do good as we do well. The Society of Professional Journalists — the nation’s largest journalism advocacy organization — has designated April 27 to May 1 as Ethics Week. SPJ has a voluntary code GUIDELINES of ethics (www. spj.org/ethicHELP JOURNALISTS scode.asp) that MAKE GOOD is widely valued and cited by DECISIONS journalists and the public as a standard. It is divided into four main sections — Seek Truth and Report It, Minimize Harm, Act Independently, and Be Accountable and Transparent. The SPJ Code of Ethics is a set of guidelines and principles — not rules — that help journalists fully consider their options before making news decisions. Many situations require a balancing test. For example, does the need to seek truth outweigh the potential for creating harm, or is the opposite true? Some principles of the code of ethics say journalists should: • “Remember that neither speed nor format excuses inaccuracy.” • “Consider sources’ motives before promising anonymity. Reserve anonymity for sources who may face danger, retribution or other harm, and have information that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Explain why anonymity was granted.” • “Diligently seek subjects of news coverage to allow them to respond to criticism or allegations of wrongdoing.” • “Never plagiarize. Always attribute.” • “Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast.” • “Avoid conflicts of interest, real or perceived. Disclose unavoidable conflicts.” • “Refuse gifts, favors, fees, free travel and special treatment, and avoid political or other outside activities that may compromise integrity or impartiality, or may damage credibility.” The principle about gifts comes up often. An appreciative source or a friendly community group might send a reporter a gift of thanks. The sentiment is nice, but we politely turn down gifts. We try to send gifts back, but if returning them is impossible, we donate them to charity and let the giver know. A discussion like this one is part of the code of ethics, too. It’s in the “Be Accountable and Transparent” section: “Explain ethical choices and processes to audiences. Encourage a civil dialogue with the public about journalistic practices, coverage and news content.” Every news organization should welcome questions, comments, and even criticism from readers and sources about the work we do. If we can’t explain and defend a decision, the thinking behind it might have been weak. These are not just principles for a “journalist,” which is no longer easy to define. The public can use these concepts for guidance, too, and challenge poor practices and decisions. Readers, viewers and listeners can and should hold news organizations and individuals accountable in much the same way the press is a watchdog of government and public institutions.

LETTERS TOT HE EDITOR
First responders, members of military deserve recognition I was very excited to read the article about the Montgomery County first responders who were honored for their service (“Public safety employees honored for bravery,” March 18). It made me happy because this happens so rarely. By this, I mean usually, when a hero does their job, they usually don’t get the recognition they deserve. When a military service member does their job, they’re helping people by fighting to keep Americans safe in wars that put their life at risk. When police do their job, they help citizens by arresting dangerous people, which can put their life at risk. When firefighters do their job, they put their life at risk to save people from fires. When EMT workers do their job, they help others get to hospitals and they put their life at risk by going into unknown places where people need help. But let me ask you this: Do pro sports players and actors put their life at risk? No, they don’t, but they still get recognized constantly, paid more, and admired as role models. This is not fair. As a military child, this really gets on my nerves. My father has fought in war and put his life at risk to help others. I could have lost him many times. If your dad’s a pro sports player or actor, he probably makes a lot more money than my father, and this doesn’t make sense. But it’s not the money that makes me upset. Little kids look up to pro sports players and actors as role models. They should be looking up to military service members, police, firefighters and EMTs. If they did, the world would be a better place because people would be inspired to help each other. For example, I look up to my father, and be-

In conclusion, I hope that heroes who help others — like military service members, police, fire-
fighters and EMTs — are looked up to and respected more than pro sports players and actors, and I hope the sort of recognition that Montgomery County’s first responders received last month continues.
‘Urban complex’ concept not grounded in reality There are news media articles describing the phenomenon of “mixeduse, residential-retail units,” in which residents can come down to the ground level of their high-rise apartments to shop and dine. Sound familiar? Called “urban complexes,” this can be applied to Bethesda and the White Flint area of North Bethesda. I call this myopic approach “myopic concept.” There is nothing wrong with the advantage of literally never having to leave the womb of one’s residential area. But, it is not reality. This concept is behind the basic development plan for the land east of the White Flint Metro station, between
Old Georgetown Road and Marinelli Road (north and south) and Rockvillle Pike and Nebel Road (east and west). Often referred to as the Bethesda Row area Phase II, much new construction has been parking garages, which are not for “urban complex” residents, but for people from near and far who want to make use of the some 200 restaurants and movie complex in that area. The same thing is going to happen to the White Flint development of North Bethesda. It will be come so popular, the “urban complex” dwellers — and even nearby residents — will see a sharp increase in vehicular traffic.
For years, we in this area have heard that traffic will be mitigated by Metro use. It has not happened. Instead, vehicular traffic has increased. Note the constant changing of plans for Rockville Pike (or Rockville Boulevard, as some want to call it). That is because of traffic impact, which was left to developers to mitigate through a fee. All I ask for is a comprehensive plan for development, understanding that traffic does not begin or end within the confines of an area, but is very widespread. In other words, success of the “urban complex” depends on a wider outlook before approval. David H. Brown, North Bethesda
Transit comment doesn’t make sense
In the April 8 story about the M-83 (Midcounty Highway Extension), Montgomery County Department of Transportation spokeswoman Esther Bowring was quoted as saying the fatal flaw was that the option for public transportation, specifically a Bus Rapid Transit system, was not in the master plan and could not be selected as a preferred alternative. That comment seems to make little sense in light of the fact that there are no fewer than two Bus Rapid Transit systems planned adjacent to the M-83 highway project already.
One is the Corridor Cities Transitway, and the other is the county executive’s BRT plan along Md. 355. Given that those BRT plans on the table are already on life support for lack of funds and broader support, it is puzzling why Ms. Bowring cites M-83’s fatal flaw as being a feature that many stakeholders are currently working so hard on making a reality through two more advanced BRT alternatives. The Clarksburg master plan was projected for about 43,000 people and is probably more than halfway
there. It was conceived with the M-83 highway as the main new transportation facility enabling its existence. We need BRT, but we also desperately need increased road capacity in the Interstate 270 corridor on and adjacent to it. Emmet Tydings, Brookeville The writer is a 13-year member of the Citizens Advisory Committee to the Transportation Planning Board for the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments in Washington, D.C.
Calculations don’t support ridership projection The headline in your April 22 issue, ”Purple Line’s impact grows,” has a subhead: “Study shows more jobs, money headed to region if rail line is built.” If a rail transit line carries 74,160 passenger trips a day after 10 or more years of operation along a route that never had significant bus or other public transportation, there would certainly be monumental economic impacts on the areas served. High-rise apartment buildings would replace single-family homes with yards. Local businesses would thrive, serving the densely packed population. As a management engineer who spent 30 years with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey (mainly in working to convert the “tubes” into “PATH”), then formed a consulting firm that serviced major transportation operators, I was distressed to calculate that the Purple Line (as defined by the MTA) could not possibly carry anything like 74,160 riders per day. The MTA said the line would oper-
ate 139 trains per weekday. Each train would be made up of two 90-foot articulated trolleys with space to crushload 140 passengers in each trolley. Those 139 train trips would have the capacity to carry fewer than 39,000 riders at peak loading points. The MTA said that the line’s track system would be designed to support up to 10 trains per hour and that this maximum number of trains would be scheduled in the two heaviest morning and afternoon peak hours. To claim that every one of these 40 trains might carry the maximum load is not credible. To suggest that the 99 off-peak trains, spread between 5 a.m. and midnight, might average the same loads, is absurd. The ratio of the peak-hour boardings to daily boardings is quite consistent on rail transit lines serving commuters. If that ratio is applied to the Purple Line’s maximum capacity of ten 280-passsenger peak-hour loads, daily ridership would likely be about 14,000. Clearly, 74,160 fares a day might

Entire team needed for success While I agree with Gordie Brenne (“Next superintendent shouldn’t give up on lagging standards,” April 15) that every effort should be made to close the educational gap for students, the new superintendent should not be required to be a miracle worker. Closing the gap between minorities and the average student cannot be the task only for the superintendent of schools, but also should involve teachers, students and parents, as well. Without the entire team, all efforts will be for naught. Unfortunately, the board of education has set the same impossible standards for the superintendent’s position, thus exposing Dr. Starr’s successor to an impossible mission. Let us be realistic as to what goals can be attained and establish those that are lesser but attainable. Nelson Marans, Silver Spring
A piece of nature would be lost with Purple Line
cover the estimated $55 million operation and maintenance costs per year. The Sierra Club said the lines ridership would take 17,000 cars off our congested highways. They added that it was the best transportation project in the country in reducing air pollution. Transportation Economics & Management Systems Inc. in its update of a study of the economic impacts of the Purple Line said that figures now show it would return more than $12 billion in tax revenues after five to seven years of operation. But all these predicted benefits are dependent on the 74,160 ridership estimate. The proposals to be considered in May include 30 years of operation and maintenance to provide a defined level of service at a fixed price. There is a strong probability that ridership, revenues and benefits in those 30 years will be less than a fifth of those currently projected. To enter into any such contract would be irrational.
“Purple Line’s Impact Grows” (April 22) tells only a fraction of the story. Yes, there will be more jobs and development, but what about the health impacts? All of the health-giving trees in the Silver Spring-Bethesda corridor will be gone. The opportunities for exercise and enjoyment in nearby nature will be gone, the peace and quiet gone, the beauty gone. Plus, the Safe Route to School will be gone, along with the safe passage under East-West Highway and Wisconsin Avenue. The developers have already acquired the permission to build tall in Chevy Chase Lake and are building tall in Bethesda and Silver Spring, so what more do they want? They really do not need the Purple Line. But if the Purple Line is built, workers and residents will lose the ability to be in nearby nature, and never regain it. There is nowhere else to have such a nature trail. The replacement “trail” is a sham — nothing but a shadeless sidewalk.

County boxers proceed to finals
Wootton catcher keeps smiling As winter began, Wootton High School catcher Michael Elliott was looking forward to his senior year on the baseball team. Everything was falling into place. He was close to making a decision on which college to attend; set to be a four-year starter (only the second freshman to play varsity there during the past 15 years); and was going to be a co-captain on the team. Then, in midDecember, Elliott experienced pain in his right thigh getting out of bed. KEN SAIN The series of doctor SPORTS EDITOR visits began in January. At first, Elliott and his family were told that there was most likely nothing to worry about. The word “tumor” came up early, but the doctor and radiologist both said that this is something they’ve seen before, and it’s most likely a benign tumor. An oncologist offered a different opinion, saying it looked like a bone infection. A surgical biopsy was scheduled, and after it was performed, the family was told it was a tumor, but it appears to be benign. Michael Elliott started preparing for baseball and enjoying the rest of his senior year. Meanwhile, his parents monitored results as testing began. They kept information from their son, wanting him not to worry until they knew something definitive. “We sort of knew he’s been hurt. His leg was bothering him for a while, and they weren’t sure what it was,” Wootton coach JD Marchand said. “He was obviously going to be a big part of our team.” It was March — practice had started. Elliott decided on Clark University in Massachusetts and was eager to call the baseball coach and make his commitment. His parents told him to wait. What Michael didn’t know then is that his test sample had gone from Washington Hospital Center to Johns Hopkins and finally to the Mayo Clinic. “[Michael’s father] Dennis and I had a good idea a week before the diagnosis, because we knew it went to Mayo, and we knew it wouldn’t go to Mayo unless something was wrong,” said Michael’s mother, Kathy Elliott. On March 17, the results were in and the diagnosis made — telangiectatic osteosarcoma. It’s a rare type of tumor that appears benign but is cancerous. The tumor appears in bones of young people after they go through a growth spurt. If caught early and treated, the survival rate is high. One of the first calls Michael Elliott made after receiving the news was to the Clark baseball coach, to tell him he had cancer and would be out of baseball for a year. The support he’s received since has been tremendous. Wootton’s baseball team put Michael’s No. 4 on the side of their caps for this season, and the players chipped in and bought him an Xbox and television to keep him entertained during treatments. The school, his mother said, has done everything it can to ensure Michael graduates next month. “It’s a lot different without him,” said Wootton pitcher Matt Ainsworth, a preseason all-state selection. “I’ve been throwing to the same kid for 10 years. He’s a tough kid — he’s been that way since I’ve known him.” The Whitman baseball team bought wrist bands with the No. 4 and presented them to the Wootton players at last week’s game. Treatment involves six, five-week cycles. He finished the first cycle last week and began the second on Monday. After the second cycle, a surgeon plans to remove the part of the bone that has the tumor and replace it with a synthetic. Elliott is scheduled to be done with treatment in October if everything goes well. Michael tackles all this with a smile, jokes and a great attitude. He tries to attend some Wootton practices whenever he can. He’s been to three games so far. There is one senior ritual that Michael still hopes to experience, so long as his white blood cell count is high enough he should be able to. “I’m going to prom, trying to at least, it worked out with the schedule,” Michael said.

Rockville, Burtonsville fighters win regional Golden Gloves titles BY
PRINCE J. GRIMES STAFF WRITER
Hachem posted a time of 2 minutes, 34.445 seconds in the 1,500-meter Junior B Girls (ages 15-16) final to finish 1.43 seconds ahead of the rest of the field — she jumped out to an early lead and held it for the whole race. The performance broke a six-year national age group record by 1.055 seconds. Hachem claimed silver in the 1,000 meters and bronze in the 500-meter final to clinch gold overall. “[Setting the national record] was really unexpected, I didn’t actually know I did it until I got off the ice,” said Hachem, who credits her success to her faith in God and the support of her family. “I was just happy to win
As the final round of Shynggyskhan Tazhibay’s Washington Golden Gloves open division regional title bout came to an end on Saturday, the Rockville boxer was visually winded. His steps weren’t as spry as they were in the first two rounds and understandably so. Tazhibay fought Matthew Abregu of Leesburg, Va., who wanted to be the aggressor, but Tazhibay wouldn’t let him. Each time Abregu approached Tazhibay with intentions of initiating contact, Tazhibay beat him to the punch. Tazhibay threw hard fluries and danced to another part of the ring, forcing Abregu to come to him, and each time the result seemed the same as Tazhibay exhausted his way into the 152-pound region title. “I feel very excited,” Tazhibay said. “I was worried about the decision because, honestly, I tired in the last minutes of the third round. I was worried somebody would give the victory to him, but when they raised my hand up — I’m going to Vegas.” Tazhibay was one of the 10 Washington Golden Gloves open division regional champions crowned on Saturday, all advancing to the National Tournament of Champions scheduled for May 10-17 in Las Vegas, Nevada. “I have only two weeks before Vegas,” said Tazhibay, who trains at Headbangers Gym in Washington, D.C. “So I will do

BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER
Wootton High School sophomore Gabriella Hachem made her first major short track speedskating championship appearance at the American Cup in 2013 and, admittedly, it did not go well. “It was my first senior competition, it was my first time racing seniors and I was so nervous, I wasn’t skating like myself at all and I crashed and went into the boards head first,” Hachem said. “I couldn’t even get up, the referees had to take me off the ice.” The event is certainly not Hachem’s favorite to recall, but it might have been an important turning point, she said. Walking away fairly unscathed from just about the worst thing that could’ve happened on race day — short of a major debilitating injury — gave Hachem some perspective.
“It taught me that I just need to calm down. Because if you’re nervous, you can’t skate to your best ability of how you train.” Gabriella Hachem, Wootton High School sophomore “It taught me that I just need to calm down. Because if you’re nervous, you can’t skate to your best ability of how you train,” Hachem said. “It’s not worth it to let those nerves in.” Hachem, who said her ultimate goal is to represent the United States at the Olympic level, was in full command of her emotions at the 2015 Short Track Age Group Nationals, held March 13-15 in Verona, Wis. Just four years after lacing up her first pair of speedskates, Hachem set a national age group record in the 1,500 meters en route to winning her second overall national championship in three appearances — she also has a silver medal.

County soccer team goes for another title Maryland Rush girls U-17 team goes for its fifth straight State Cup n
BY JENNIFER BEEKMAN STAFF WRITER
Most of Whitman High School senior Emma Anderson’s friends were likely on the verge of falling asleep at 4 a.m. Saturday morning after Friday night’s prom festivities. But the Columbia University women’s soccer recruit went home just long enough to drop her dress off, she said, before hitting the road for Pittsburgh. Anderson’s travel team since she was 8 years old, the Maryland Rush Montgomery Coyotes (now Under-17) had two important matches Saturday — the first at 9 a.m. — before returning home for Sunday’s Maryland State Cup semifinals at the Maryland SoccerPlex in Boyds. The
team won all three games. It’s been that type of commitment, Coyotes co-coach Alex Gould said, players’ willingness to place the Coyotes’ success at the top of their list of priorities — Holy Cross junior Jade Ruiters also went to prom Friday and left for Pittsburgh at 1:30 a.m. — that’s made the team one of the Washington, D.C., area’s most successful in recent years. “Everyone puts in a lot of time,” Anderson said. “[Ruiters and I] had commitments this weekend, but we still knew that this team and what we’re doing took priority. These coaches [Gould and Kevin Layton] have been so important in helping us grow as players and helping us find our college teams. We owe everything to them and this team.” The Coyotes, whose roster reads like a who’s who of Montgomery

Tavon Body of Burtonsville defeated Clinso Brumfield of Alexandria, Va. for the 165 title.

SOCCER
Continued from Page B-1 County’s top high school players — nine 2014 All-Gazette selections — are scheduled to compete for their fifth consecutive State Cup title in Sunday’s championship at the SoccerPlex. But unlike the past two seasons, the 2012 U14 US Youth Soccer champion — and last girls team from Maryland to win a national title — needs to win for its season to continue. After failing to secure a spot in this summer’s USYS during National League play in the fall and more recently in Las Vegas last month, the Coyotes can now only qualify by winning state and region championships. They won their only region title in 2012 on their way to the national championship. “It’s nerve-wracking because one mistake on the field could cost the youth he whole season,” Ruiters said. “Everything we worked to achieve could be broken in one game. But I think it’s both good and bad because it pushes us to do better and play our best.” The Coyotes are somewhat of an anomaly. The youth soccer scene, es-
pecially at the top, is quite competitive and annual roster turnover is common as teams look to recruit top talent and players seek opportunities to win national titles. The Coyotes have not been immune to the occasional departure, but this team has remained largely intact, especially since 2011, despite the many offers for players to take residence elsewhere, Gould said.

It was a blessing I was in front and it did not affect me. When I finished the race, I gave my coach a big high five, and, when I got off the ice, my brother told me I had actually set the record. I was like, ‘Wow.’ I couldn’t even register it.” Hachem has her younger brother, Joseph, 13, to thank for her foray into the world of short track speedskating. When the two, who the elder Hachem said hope to someday be on Team USA together, started hanging out at the Wheaton Ice Rink five years ago, the elder Hachem initially took up figure skating while her younger brother buzzed around on speedskates. Eventually some of the speedskating moms convinced her to try her hand — or feet, more accurately — at the sport, and she said she immediately knew she had found her passion. While she was hesitant to go for top speeds at first, the adrenaline rush of skating fast and racing is now a major part of the sport’s allure, Hachem said. A self-proclaimed per-

Then I started speedskating, and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. I like that you can measure your progress, and you can measure yourself against other skaters. Whoever works hardest wins.

She just missed the cut this year but said she has her sights set on making it in 2016. United Capital Blades Speedskating Club coach Hyun Jung Lee, who was named US Speedskating’s National Coach of the Year, commended her teenage pupil’s work rate. “Gabriella has an inner drive that propels her to excel in whatever she does,” Lee said in a news release sent to The Gazette. “She uses her discipline to focus on her goals. And, she is a great role model for young girls. I am very proud of Gabriella and her accomplishments.” jbeekman@gazette.net

sided games played in the younger age groups. Without a single superstar capable of completely taking over a game, the team was vulnerable against teams with one or two dominant entities. But what was once a slight weakness turned into a tremendous strength as the Coyotes moved up to the U13 age group and full-sided games; their ability to anticipate each other’s moves and connect seamlessly with one another — and through an incredibly technical and crafty midfield — became a major advantage. It’s not likely Ruiters and Anderson would drive four-plus hours in the wee hours of the morning for just anyone. The Coyotes’ commitment to each other has been the root of their success, and Ruiters said she and her teammates hope to pass that down to the organization’s younger age groups — the older girls often help out with clinics for some of Gould’s younger squads. “This is not how most teams are built, most teams have more roster turnover,” Gould said. “But as other teams are adding players, we’ve figured out a way to get the most out of our team.”

Churchill pulls away from Wootton in boys lacrosse Bulldogs shut down Patriots during key stretch to defeat their rival n
BY
ADAM GUTEKUNST STAFF WRITER
With slightly more than nine minutes remaining in the first half of Thursday’s boys lacrosse matchup between Churchill and rival Wootton high schools, a Patriots attackman followed by a yellow flag fell to the ground. Seconds later, another Wootton stick flew through the air, this time launched by the foot of a disgruntled Churchill player — an act that drew yet another flag. In a 4-4 game that had reached a bit of an offensive lull, the Patriots seemed to have grabbed a crucial advantage, as the slash and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties gave them a one-minute, two-man advantage. Not so. Churchill goalie

Wootton High School’s Jack Wright (left) guards Churchill’s Louis Dubick during Thursday’s boys lacrosse game at Churchill in Potomac. Markus Hurd made a series of outstanding saves, including a point-blank robbery that switched possession over to the Bulldogs, who ultimately wasted away the final seconds of Wootton’s advantage.
From there, Churchill’s experienced offense took over, scoring three goals in a twominute span to open up a lead they would not relinquish in a 14-8 victory. Immediately after his Bull-
dogs had successfully fended off the Patriots’ extra-man opportunity, Churchill coach Jeff Fritz called a timeout, sensing a chance to swing the momentum of the game. “I said, ‘You want a chance to seize the game? This is our chance,’” Fritz said. A two-minute unreleasable penalty on Wootton with 4 minutes and 11 seconds remaining in the half proved to be just the opportunity Churchill needed, as goals from Derek Altobello, Louis Dubick and Reed Moshyedi, all coming within a span of 92 seconds, proved to be the turning point. “Man down, that hurt us in the sense that we gave up three there,” Wootton coach Colin Thomson said. “… That’s probably the big turn there. Probably just the penalties and they capitalized on the opportunities given to them. That’s probably the [differential] in the game, to be honest.” “Our [defense] did a great
job,” said Dubick, who finished with three goals and four assists. “They’ve done a great job all year of being solid and fundamental on man down. They gave us a chance to pile on some goals there at the end. [Spencer Knife] drew a penalty for us and that’s what we do best. We have five seniors on offense and we execute on man up and down. We stuck three on them and kind of put the game away.” The victory seemed to mean something extra to Dubick and the other seniors on Churchill’s veteran roster who had endured two losses to their rivals the season before, including a 14-12 season-ending loss in the region finals. “There’s nothing better for the seniors — the guys who have worked so hard for four years for this program — than to get a big win over your rival school and keep it rolling at 11-0.” But for as many seniors as have contributed to Churchill’s perfect record, there’s been a

Northwest senior sets historic mark Zarate runs county’s second-fastest mile BY ERIC GOLDWEIN STAFF WRITER
PHILADELPHIA — First came the hurt, then, the pain. Finally, in his last lap, came the agony. Diego Zarate called the three ingredients “HPA,” and in the boys mile run championship at the Penn Relays, the Northwest High School senior was suffering through them all. It’s because of that — “I could tell I was going through a lot of pain” — that Zarate sensed he was in for something special Friday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. Competing alongside the nation’s best runners, Zarate ran the mile in 4 minutes and 9.69 seconds to place third in the event. He went step for step with Sam Ritz in the final stretch, crossing the finish line just ahead of the Germanton Academy (Pa.) runner (4:09.94). Zarate had nothing left by the end of the race, and that’s a good thing, he said. “I couldn’t give anything more,” Zarate said. “If I’m not passed out, I haven’t given it my all.” Zarate broke his personal record (4:16.00), and the Virginia Tech recruit said he plans on doing that again — and suffering through the HPA — in the final stretch of his senior season with the Germantown chool. His new personal best is the second fastest time in Montgomery County history, and fastest since 1972. “Ofcourseit’sfeasible,”Zarate said. “Anything is possible with training and a good mindset. So we’ll see.”
Seneca shatters school record Omolola Sanusi wasn’t exactly content with her effort. The Seneca Valley High School runner had just completed the third leg of the 3,200-meter relay at the Penn Relays, and said she could have ran harder. After all, she wasn’t puking by the end of it, she said. What the sophomore might not have realized, though, was

Sanusi’s split of 2:18.78 put her team (Jordyn Pugh, Anita Falade, Sanusi, Mariah McLane) in position to shatter the previous record (9:48.67) it set when it won February’s 3A state championship. The Screaming Eagles finished fourth in their heat and ninth in the small schools event held Thursday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia. “It was definitely a team effort,” Sanusi said. “... It was the last year we’d get to run with the seniors, and probably the strongest 4-by-800 we’ll have in a while.” Seneca Valley was making its first 3,200 relay appearance at the Penn Relays. McLane, competing in America’s oldest and largest track and field competition for the fourth time, said the Screaming Eagles have come a long way sinceherfreshmanyear,whenshe was one of four girls on the team. “I think we’re just excited, motivated to win, to do our best,” McLane said. “... I just love racing. My team motivates me, we all work together.”

bit of a youthful revival on the county’s top team, as two freshman long poles — Jack Taylor and Jimmy Rubino — and Moshyedi — a freshman attackman — have proven crucial to the Bulldogs’ unblemished record. “It’s the first time our freshmen got to play in a big game,” Fritz said. “But to play a rival and in front of a big crowd tonight with a little extra energy, it helped them mature and step up.” “A lot of people say, ‘Oh, they’re freshmen, they don’t have a lot of experience and they’re going to do bad in these situations,’” Hurd said. “But I think the two freshmen on our team who are starting are some of the best who are out there. They don’t know the nerves that are going into this game but I think they handled it the best out there. I’m really [happy] with they’re performance.”
block, and the Northwest High School boys 1,600-meter relay team had to play catch up from there. On the last lap, it finally returned to the front of the pack. Several meters behind first place, Jalen Walker took the baton from Brendan Rhoderick, and then made his move. The Northwest anchor ran his leg in 48.49 seconds, helping the Jaguars (Zarate, Andrew Daniels Rhoderick, Walker) place first in the heat (PR: 3 minutes, 22.83 seconds) and place 39th out of the 552 relay teams, leading all Montgomery County schools. “As soon as I saw where [Rhoderick] put us,” Walker said, “I was like, alright, I got this.”
Quick starts The Bullis School girls also competed in the 400 relay championship, with Jôn Glass, Kyla Lewis, Alexis Postell and Arianna Richards finishing in 47.44 seconds (a team record for this year) to place eighth. In the small schools championship, Seton (Bladensburg) ran a 48.26. Whitman senior Evan Woods (4:21.15) competed alongside Zarate in the mile, placing 13th. egoldwein@gazette.net

Once again, I was like, ‘Wow, where did that come from?’ Because I didn’t get a chance to see that his freshman year.” Now, Monroe and the rest of the county are getting to see just what Blair’s capable of quite often. The senior has a top-10 time in the county in the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints and has become a steady source of points for the Cavaliers. “Even if we don’t place anyone else, we’ll still have that point advantage over them in sprints,” Monroe said. “Lud’s our workhorse. To know we can walk into some of these division meets and know Lud will get the points we need, it’s a great feeling.”
Not everyone can be like the University of Oregon track and field team, winning NCAA titles with a pack of exceptional distance runners, longtime Sherwood High School coach Dan Reeks said. The Sherwood girls aren’t a team blessed with that kind of roster, but they are balanced.
TRACK NOTEBOOK BY ADAM GUTEKUNST The Warriors boast top 10 scores in the county in the 400-meter relay, 800-meter relay, 1,600-meter relay, 6,400-meter relay, 1,600-meter sprint medley relay, shot put, long jump and triple jump — a variety of success Reeks said is made possible by the team’s wealth of multi-sport athletes. “For one thing, we have a group of good athletes who are multi-sport athletes,” Reeks said. “For instance, our thrower was a volleyball player. One of our up-and-coming throwers is a cheerleader and is also jumping a little bit as well. We have kids willing to try things.”

Kennedy sprinter no longer a secret Kennedy High School track and field coach Kevin Monroe said he remembers seeing a then-sophomore sprinter blaze past teammates during short sprint workouts two years ago.

For some high school track and field athletes, turning the corner into May — or as track folks call it, “championship season” — can seem daunting and pressure-filled. But after 15 seasons at the helm of the program at Quince Orchard High School, coach Seann Pelkey seems to have it all figured out, using the regular season as a proving ground for the season’s final month. “I mean, it’s a progression,” Pelkey said. “We choose the meets we go to very carefully throughout the regular season. In track and field, we have a unique situation where there’s a divisional schedule set for us, too. [There’s] three to four meets and then we set our own invitational schedule.”
While most teams spent the weekend making the trek to Philadelphia for the 121st running of the Penn Relays, Pelkey and the Cougars hung back in Gaithersburg, preparing for the first stop in the trifecta of postseason meets. “We try to gear most of our training toward the county championships,” Pelkey said. “I’ve long been on record that the county championship is one of the best track and field meets in the entire region in terms of competition across the board, in a variety of events. Twenty-five schools in the county make it one of largest district meets, so to speak.”
Bethesda-Chevy Chase star makes college selection Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School distance standout Nora McUmber now can add “Division I athlete” to her list of titles that includes a career full of state, region and county championships. McUmber signed on the morning of April 21, making her commitment to run at Towson University official. The Barons senior said she was also considering Jacksonville University and the University of Maryland, College Park. “I really, toward the end, felt like I wanted to go to Maryland, which was a little different from what I was normally thinking,” McUmber said. “But in the end, I chose Towson because they have a really good early education program, which is what I want to do. I got a scholarship there, and they had a good team so I just decided that it had all the things that I wanted. I thought that it was the right school for me.”

I’m not a big mercy rule person, but to be on the other side of the mercy rule [for once] is was also nice.” Huffman said she could already see a change within her players’ confidence as they took the field Saturday to play three-time defending state champion Sherwood. B-CC might have lost 18-0 but it wasn’t even the largest — or second-largest — margin of victory for the Warriors this season. And Huffman said she was proud of her team’s ability to play defense against arguably the most powerful batting order in the state, let alone Montgomery County. Freshman pitcher Julia Dimmick upped her home run total to three with a grand slam against Walter Johnson and home run against Watkins Mill. She leads the team with a .692 batting average with 13 runs batted in. “I’m impressed with the growth of the pro-

The Jaguars, who followed that up with a 17-5, six-inning win over Walter Johnson, are positioning themselves as a legitimate postseason contender. “We talked about it, the team and the coaches, we were really looking forward to this type of matchup against a quality team like Blake, going into playoffs,” Northwest coach Kevin Corpuz said. “It’s a good measuring stick to see where the team is. We feel like our team matured, has become a good tight-knit unit, and played hard the entire game.” With six of the 10 girls in the starting lineup first-year varsity starters, Corpuz said he was expecting some early season growing pains. But the Jaguars have really found a rhythm, especially on defense, heading into the final stretch of the season toward playoffs.

Damascus keeping games close Monday’s loss to Rockville High School was almost a microcosm of the entire season for the Damascus baseball team. The Hornets held a 3-2 lead in the sixth inning but lost the game 8-4. The team is just 2-11 this season, but many of the losses have been just as close, and to some good opponents. Coach Greg Blake said he purposely put together one of the toughest schedules. “That’s really what I keep telling the guys,” Blake said. “To believe in themselves, knowing that everyone makes the playoffs. Just knowing we need to peak at the right time. We’re in every game, and we have one bad inning that always comes back to hurt us.” Damascus only has two seniors on the team, neither of which plays very much. Freshman Ethan Wentzlaff has been one of the team’s most composed players. Despite pitching well, he’s just 0-3 in his last three games but the team has committed between 20-30 errors behind him. He also plays in the outfield. Junior catcher George Lowe has thrown out six runners this season, and sophomore Eric Lassinger is the team’s power hitter. Blake said he is holding out hope that the team can start closing games and protecting leads as the postseason approaches.

The baseball team at Albert Einstein High School is performing well this season, and with a few breaks, eighth-year coach Patrick Berbakos thinks the Titans can be a .500 team. Einstein has not lost more than three consecutive games this year. With a 5-8 record, the Titans have already matched last season’s win total. “The biggest thing for Einstein over the years is that we had a lot of players that hadn’t had a whole lot of experience,” Berbakos said. “We’re finally starting to get some players coming in with experience. We’re playing good ball. We haven’t been beating ourselves.” An example of the players finally coming into Einstein with prior experience are the three freshman starting on the team, including third baseman Joe Curtain. He’s hitting better than .550 but also pitches well, throwing a no-hitter against Kennedy on March 24.

Sherwood senior nears home run record
Sherwood High School senior shortstop Nicole Stockinger, last year’s Gazette Player of the Year, has established herself over the past four years as one of pitchers’ most feared batters. In 2013 she tied former Broadneck star Kourtney Salvarola’s single season home run record with 12. With a Washington, D.C. area leading 10 so far this spring, she is three away from moving into sole possession of that mark. But another three home runs would also surpass the state’s all-time career home run record of 37, which has been held by former Northwestern (Prince George’s County) standout Toni Staunton since 1987. Meanwhile, Sherwood’s 13-0 record in 2015 has its win streak up to 75 consecutive games since 2012. Seven-time defending state champion Northern-Calvert owns the state record with a 77-game streak that ended last season.
The underclassmen are infused into a roster with some upperclassmen, but the inexperience is also mixed with a lower prioritization of baseball at a school where academics is emphasized. The top hitter in RM’s lineup is sophomore left fielder Josh Lebidinsky, who was hitting .412 last week. The Rockets have dropped three consecutive games since then and are now 3-8. Junior center fielder Andy Kostka was second in batting average at .333. “We’re scoring runs any way we possibly can,” George said. Senior infielder and pitcher Evan Kuntsmen is the team’s leader. His earned-run average was 2.42, slightly better than Julian Watson (2.52) and Ryan Lane (2.97). A high-point this season came on April 18 when RM beat Walter Johnson, 10-6, for the first time in about five years.

lead the Swarmin’ Hornets (11-1) in points. “She’s just kind of fell into a nice little groove where if the opportunity knocks, she’s going to take the shot and put it in the back of the net,” Jurado said.
Gaithersburg girls win division Coming into this season, the goal for the Gaithersburg High School girls lacrosse team was just to play a little bit better than it did last year, coach E.J. Maloney said. “Maybe for the first time in a long time, have a winning record,” Maloney said.
The Trojans accomplished that, and then some, winning a division title for the first time in the school’s history. Gaithersburg (9-1 through Monday) — two years removed from a 4-10 campaign — secured the 4A/3A West Division on April 21 with a 9-8 road win over crosstown rival Quince Orchard. The team is on a seven-game winning streak with the playoffs starting next week. “It was elation. We had girls sitting down, sobbing, they were so happy,” Maloney said. “... It was special.”

BY SAVANNAH TANBUSCH SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE
There’s something Shakespearian lurking in a tale of robbery, abuse, poverty, death and love at first sight. That story courses through what Time Magazine has called “the greatest musical of the 20th
century” and is premiering in Olney. The Olney Theatre Center presents the award-winning, 70-year-old Rodgers and Hammerstein musical “Carousel” from now until May 10. Director Jason Loewith said breathing life into this play has been a personal goal of his since he became an artistic director 15 years ago. “I first fell in love with this play when I was 12,” Loewith said. “My dad would play an
old, scratchy LP of it.” The story follows the courtship and romance of Billy Bigelow, played by Tally Sessions, and Julie Jordan, played by Carey Rebecca Brown, through a relationship of hardship and abuse. After both protagonists are fired for being indiscreet about their workplace relationship, Julie finds out she is pregnant. After a bank robbery “gone wrong” and an unfortunate encounter, Billy finds himself in an unusual predicament,
trying to win Julie back 15 years later and introduce himself to the daughter he never met. “The carousel is the wheel of fate, the wheel of time, and you have to make good choices,” Loewith said. “Some characters make good choices, and others don’t. It’s interesting to see the protagonist repeatedly make bad choices.” “It has a full mix of whoops and hollers next to incredibly

For Eddie Money, the greatest joys of performing come when he is able to share his experience with fans. As such, Money aims to make his shows as interactive and collaborative as possible. He doesn’t stay grounded to the stage but joins the crowd after the set for some genuine and direct conversation. “It’s like going out on a good date,” Money said about his shows. “You go out there, you have all the fans dressed up, you sing the songs that everybody knows, and everybody has a good time. It’s really a lot of fun.” Money, who will play at the Bethesda Blues and Jazz Supper Club on Friday, said he made it his mission to involve the audience in every way he could. He said he even occasionally asks fans for suggestions to his set list. “It’s going to bring back a lot of memories to people,” Money said of the song selection. He will play all his hits, such as “Two Tickets to Paradise” and “Take Me Home Tonight,” as well as some other fan favorites. One of the more emotional songs of the night, Money said, is “One More Soldier Coming Home,” which he dedicates to all the war veterans in the venue. “Everyone knows somebody

in uniform,” Money said. “You know, they have sons, brothers, nephews and next-door neighbors. There’s a lot of people serving our country all over the world, and I’ve got to find some wood to knock on because these kids in the Army, Navy and Air Force are just wonderful human beings serving our country. It’s a real honor to even go out there and do some songs.” Money said he also sells Tshirts at his concerts to raise money for the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that aims to help injured service members and raise awareness for the needs of these veterans. Money said this is his way of supporting the troops and giving back to the community. As the child of a police officer and brother of a Vietnam War veteran, Money always had a close connection to law enforcement. His respect for the trade and pride in the service inspired him to join the New York City Police Academy after high school.

intimate scenes,” Loewith said. After the original production’s close in 1945, following an 890-performance run, a film version starring Shirley Jones and Gordon MacRae was released, making it into an inhome classic for some. The musical is based off of Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár’s play “Lilliom,” produced in 1909, which maintains the same general plot as “Carousel.” The negative themes presented throughout it are more overt, though, coining the phrase “he hit me, and it felt like a kiss.” But with the heartbreak and mistreatments, the musical does have happy moments, which, according to Loewith and musical director Christopher Youstra, shine through in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s music and lyricism.

praised the song “I Loved You,” with Youstra calling it “classically beautiful.” “[Rogers and Hammerstein] have this great beauty and great lyricism,” Youstra said. “There’s a reason why people still love ‘Edelweiss.’” Youstra said minimal changes were made to the score of Olney Theatre’s adaptation. “It’s almost a perfect score,” Youstra said. However, there was one big change that had to be made to bring the play to life at Olney.
The notation, usually meant for bigger orchestras, had to be condensed to fit a smaller orchestra. “We have a 12-person orchestra, which is the largest orchestra we’ve ever used at Olney,” Youstra said. “There’s also been a little bit of change in the choral writing.” Originally choreographed by Agnes de Mille, the choreography orchestrated by Tommy Rapley for Olney Theatre is a refreshing take off of the original, according to Youstra. “Even if the audience has seen ‘Carousel’ the ballet and the choreography are breathtakingly new,” Youstra said. With these changes in mind, Loewith said audiences should keep in mind that a few things may be presented differently in Olney’s production of the play. “People who know ‘Carousel’ like the movie should keep an open mind,” Loewith said. “We’re doing things differently.”
MONEY
Continued from Page B-5 However, as a fan of rock ‘n’ roll and aspiring musician, Money knew he didn’t want to be in a police uniform his entire life. Therefore, at age 19, Money quit the force and moved to California in hopes of pursuing a music career. After years of balancing his daytime jobs with his nighttime gigs, Money received a record deal and released his debut, self-titled album in 1977. Since then, Money sold more than 39 million records, traveled the world and toured with artists such as the Rolling Stones and Fleetwood Mac. Money said that although life on the road didn’t change much since the early ’80s, he did learn to overcome the challenges that many of the great rockers struggled with over the years, such as infidelity and drug and alcohol abuse. In addition, Money said the music industry drastically

For instance, he said the Internet’s progression, especially with the rise of social media, changed the landscape of music sharing. As a result, this shifted the way artists earn their money. Instead of selling records, artists need to worry about selling concert tickets in order to make the big bucks, Money said. Despite the change, however, Money still appreciates
the industry and thinks music is a universal gift, which is why he continues to perform. “The good Lord has blessed me with a lot of hits,” he said. “I got my weight down, I still have all my hair, and my voice sounds pretty good. It should be a fantastic show. Come down and do some shaking with the money man. I’ve got two tickets to paradise, and I’m taking everybody.”

A month full of mirth
“The Merry Month,” takes up residence as this month’s exhibition at Gallery B in Bethesda. The group show features colorful artwork by Liliane Blom, Cynthia Ferrell Johnson, Donna McGee, Carol Vorosmarti, Kathryn Wiley and Patricia Zannie. Blom is a classically trained painter and award-winning photographer whose distinct style mixes her love of both media into a new one she calls her fusion of painting and photography digital printing. Johnson, a fan of vibrant colors, says
her works in gouache and acrylic have been inspired by the people she met and places she lived during 25 years of globetrotting as a U.S. diplomat. McGee imparts a meditative quality with subtle colors and shapes. She invites the viewer to let their eyes travel over the entire canvas and draw their own inspiration. Vorosmarti considers herself a painter of nature and finds her inspiration in both exploring new locations and in the intimacy of her garden. Wiley began painting and drawing
while living in Paris and studied art history at the École du Louvre. Originally drawn to landscape, she now paints large acrylic abstract compositions, in addition to making sculpture from found objects. Zannie has been interested in color since she sat in her high chair during World War II, falling in love with her first box of crayons. As a modern mixed media, collage artist she continues to incorporate crayons, along with oil pastels and inks into her work over 74 years later.

Since the 1990s, Roberts has logged thousands of miles on the road each year, leading some to call him the hardest-working man in children’s show business. He has won numerous national awards and received countless accolades for his albums and live performances. Justin Roberts and the Not Ready for Naptime Players raise the bar for family music with a playground full of bright new songs for parents and children to enjoy together. The group explores the joy and freedom of recess, the marvels of the imagination and a unique combination of melancholy and wonder as school finally lets out for the summer. Roberts has released 11 albums since the early 1990s. Tickets for the show are $15 and are on sale in-person, over the phone by calling 240-912-1058 or online at blackrockcenter.org.
